Moriah: Thank you so much for the reviews! 11 reviews for one chapter! That makes me so happy!

Naruto: We would have started on the chapter sooner, but Morie-chan wanted to make sure that she knew what she was going to do for the chapter.

Moriah: Can you believe that they like it that much?

Naruto: Yes, Morie-chan. It's a good first start. Let's hope that this chapter is good too.

Moriah: I hope so. I was thinking about bashing Sakura, but I don't think I can do it. Please do the disclaimer.

Naruto: Morie-chan doesn't own anything. Review! Enjoy!


Chapter 2


"I have time." he raven implied.

Naruto became quiet. It was obvious the other wanted to know, but a part of him wasn't in the mood to talk about it.

"We could talk as I walk you home."

Again the blonde said nothing as he comtemplated the offer. He knew not to talk to strangers but the male in front of him had a different vibe to him. He just couldn't pin point what it was.

After taking sometime to think on it, he looked at the raven and nodded. "That sounds nice."

The taller male smiled and nodded, as the two started walking.

"Do you live close by?" Naruto asked, trying to make conversation. He hated an uncomfortable atmosphere.

The taller male didn't answer at first. He thought of his answer before speaking. "No, not really, but where I live, it's not as lively as this." he said referring to all the people still out even though it was getting late.

The blonde nodded in understanding. "So why were you crying?" Sasuke asked after moments of silence.

The blonde sighed. He had hoped that he other would forget about the question, but as usual no such luck.

"I.." he started, thinking of what he was going to say. "I confessed my feelings to one of my best friends and she rejected me."

The raven looked at the blonde expression and felt bad for bringing it up. The other male looked so upset.

"How old are you?" he asked, trying to change the topic. He didn't like seeing the blonde like this.

"I'm 16." the blonde responded. "How old are you?"

Laughing softly to himself, he answered. "I'm 16, too." Honestly, he was way older than that, but he knew if he told the other that, he wouldn't believe him.

Naruto was going to say something, but he heard a beeping noise coming from his pocket. He looked at Sasuke and blushed, silently apologizing before taking his black phone out of his pocket.

Flipping the phone open, he look at it and saw that it read: 4 missed calls. Looking into his missed calls, he saw that Sakura called twice, Kiba called again, and Iruka called.

Naruto let out a sigh. 'I didn't think that anyone would be this worried about me.' he thought.

He didn't like to cause people to worry if he didn't have to, but right not, he wasn't in the mood to talk to them. He made a reminder to call Iruka. He would worry the most. He would see Sakura and Kiba tomorrow.

With a sigh, he put the phone back in his pocket.

"Is everything okay?" Sasuke asked, his voice concerned.

The blonde unconsciously shook his head. The raven frowned. "What's wrong?"

The blonde was quiet. "I don't want to bother you." he finally said.

Sasuke stopped walking and looked at the blonde. "You aren't." he taller said, with a voice you could never argue with. "You could never bother me."

Naruto stopped walked too and looked at the raven. He couldn't think of what to say. How do you respond to something like that?

"So, what's wrong?" he asked, with a lighter tone and started walking again.

"Well, Sakura called and I don't want to talk to her. I don't know what to say to her."

"Is she the one tha rejected you?" he asked, his voice soft. Naruto nodded.

"My friend Kiba and Iruka called. I know they are worried about me, but I just don't want to talk to anyone right now."

"You're talking to me." the raven said, proving the other wrong.

The blonde said nothing as they continued to walk. After all, he couldn't. The raven had a point. Even though he felt like talking to no one, he was talking to him. Why? He didn't know.

Looking around them, he saw they were close to his apartment building. "We're here." he said.

The two males, stopped walking in front of the blondes apartment building. Naruto looked at the blonde. "Thank you for walking me home." he said softly.

Sasuke smiled. "It was my pleasure." he said, walking closer to the blonde. "And don't worry, you didn't bother me. Like I said, you could never bother me." he leaned forward and kissed the blonde on the cheek. Pulling back, he saw the teen blush.

"Will I see you again?" Naruto asked, nervously.

The raven smiled at the others nervousness. "Of course you will." he said, before walking back in the direction they came.

Blushing more, Naruto pulled out his keys and used them to get into the door. After walking into the building, he walked straight and then took a left, walking towards the elevator. After pushing the up button he waited for the elevator, before walking on and pushing the button that read '8'. The doors closed and the blonde waited until the machine stopped on his level. When the doors opened again, he walked off and turned to the right. He walked until he reached his apartment '816'.

Opening his door, he walked inside, closed the door and locked it.

His living room had white walls, a black couch with an ivory carpet, a big black scene tv, and a brown wooden table in front of the couch. To the left of the couch, there were cream-white blinds, hiding the sliding door that led to the blonde's balcony.

His kitchen was a light orange and had a black counter with white cabinets. The stove was black but had white here and there. The refrigator was a light orange.

Walking in the hallway, he went into his room. The door was brown and his carpet was ivory. His walls were white, and he had a king sized bed with a orange cover and light orange sheets. On the left, he had a brown computer stand with a light orange laptop laying on it.

Going to his closet, he pulled out a pair of blue pajamas and put them on, throwing the clothes he wore that day in the basket, that was located in the closet, waiting to get clean again.

Yawning, he slipped into the bed, replaying the days events. Quickly sitting up, he remembered that he had to call Iruka back.

Grabbing his cell phone from the table he had by his bed, he opened the phone and dialed the number he knew he had to call.

After a couple of rings, a worried voice answered. "Naruto? Is that you?" the voice sounded as if it was close to tears.

"Yes, Iruka, it's me." the blonde, said calmly, a lace of amusement hidden behind his words.

"Naru-chan!" the other male cried. "Why didn't you answer your phone? You had me so worried!"

Naruto sighed at the other males tone. "I'm sorry, Iruka. I'm sorry for worring you. I just called to let you know that I'm okay before I fall alseep. I'm kinda tired."

"I know you are." Iruka said, his voice slowly returning to normal now that he knew his son was okay. Through they weren't blood related, Iruka took care of Naruto after his parents died. He cared for Naruto and mothered him whenever he could. "I heard about what happened between you and Sakura."

"I'm sorry, Iruka, but I really don't want to talk about it." the blonde said. "The less I think about it, the better." he said.

Iruka nodded, even though he knew he the other couldn't see it. "Goodnite, baby. Make sure that you sleep."

The blonde nodded at the nickname the male called him. "Goodnite. I'll see you tomorrow." with that he hung up the phone and put it back on the bedside table.

The blonde teen blushed again when he remembered the feel of the raven's lips on his cheek. But the confusion was still there. Why was he blushing when he knew that he was straight? After all, he had been in love with Sakura for years.

With that thought, the blonde fell asleep, thinking about the raven male.


Getting closer to home, Sasuke walked into the driveway, before getting to the door. Walking inside, he walked up the stairs and took a left at the black door, walking in.

He had a king sized four poster bed, with black covers and light blue sheets. He had a white closet to the left and a big scene tv close to the window. Also by the window, he had a black computer stand with a black laptop on it.

Taking off his clothes that he wore that day, he just left on his blue boxers and slipped into bed.

He didn't have long before he had to wake again, so he might as well try to get enough sleep. He knew he had to call someone, but he decided that he would wait until morning.

The raven smiled as his eyes closed, one questioned lingering in his head. 'Why did I kiss him? I didn't mean to. It just happened.'

The moonlight shined in through the window, making him look as if he was glowing as he finally closed his eyes and fell asleep.
