Okay! Lets carry on with the story...
Naruto had decided they would both sleep in the main room of his apartment. He felt guilty about sleeping in his bed while Sasuke slept on the floor… and Sasuke refused to sleep in the blonde's bed.
They both brought in a large mattress, two blankets and two pillows. This is going to be a long night.
"I'm gonna change into some night stuff… You should too, err. Wanna borrow something?" The blonde spoke… as if he had forgotten about the fight earlier. "Yeah, I guess I could borrow something" the raven had to stop himself from shaking.
Was the hell was I thinking… why'd I do that? He… just looked so… irresistible.
"Well… come and pick something then… I'm not gonna choose for you." Sasuke snapped out of his thoughts and walked towards Naruto's dresser, after about five minutes Sasuke finally picked something out.
Light blue pyjama bottoms that were a perfect fit and a white t-shirt that was a little bit too small… but it would do. The blonde pushed Sasuke out of his room, and told the raven to get dressed, as he did.
Sasuke did as he was told, putting the t-shirt on first… followed by the bottoms.
About three seconds after he finished, Naruto walked out, clad in a black t-shirt and Orange boxers with two black stripes down the side.
Oh man… he just had to wear something sexy didn't he.
Unfortunately for Sasuke the blonde's t-shirt was too big for him, and the raven often caught a glimpse of a sun kissed shoulder.
They both climbed into bed, and with an exhausted yawn, Sasuke heard the most amazing thing. "Night Sasuke-teme…" his voice was sweet and innocent, if that was even possible. How the hell could a loud annoying dobe sound so… so… cute?
As the moon rose higher, Sasuke couldn't help but look at the sleeping blonde. The moonlight caught his face making Naruto seem angelic.
It was a magical evening; never in his life did Sasuke think he'd enjoy watching the boy sleep. But he loved it. He watched as the smaller boy breathed, watching his chest rise and fall. Naruto then turned on his side, facing Sasuke… then… the raven saw something that changed his life forever.
A single tear rolled down the whiskered cheeks.
Sasuke sat up, "Naruto…" he whispered, "Naruto are you okay?"
No reply.
He must be asleep. But, why is he crying?
The raven cupped his hand around the tanned cheek, wiping the tear away. He suddenly snapped his hand away.
Why do I care for him so much? Sure… he's amazingly adorable, cute and sexy. But theres something else, something about him that I don't know… and I need to find out what it is.
It was a long time before Sasuke finally managed to get some sleep. When the raven finally awoke, the sun was high in the sky.
He looked over and sure enough, Naruto was still asleep. The raven smiled to himself.
Still sleeping?
He put his hand on Naruto's shoulder, and gently shook him. "Naruto… Naruto wake up!" The blonde refused, and turned over the other way, so his back was facing the raven.
Sasuke wasn't going to give up. "Hey dobe, if you get up I might buy you some ramen for breakfast." He practically gagged at having ramen for breakfast.
But… "REALLY? Gee thanks Teme!"
"I said might, I didn't say I would." The raven spoke with an evil smirk on his face.
"TEME!" The blonde sat like a four year old, crossing his arms and legs… giving the most adorable pout the world has ever seen. Naruto was useless at being angry though.
"You're not mad at me… you know I'm right." With a remark like that Sasuke felt triumphant, and got up to use the toilet.
Naruto sighed in defeat, and went to get dressed.
When Sasuke came out his blonde wasn't there…
Hmnm… he must have gone to get dressed, it's a good idea.
Getting dressed Sasuke heard music. A guitar to be exact.
He walked up to Naruto's bedroom door, pressed his ear against it and listened intently, trying to hear what the blonde was playing. But he heard something else… singing.
No I can't stand the pain,
And I can't make it go away,
No I can't stand the pain…
How could this happen to me?
I've made my mistakes,
Got nowhere to run,
But life goes on as I'm fading away,
I'm sick of this life,
I just wanna scream…
How could this happen to me?
He couldn't believe it. His voice was amazing. Angelic. It was soft and soothing, he sounded so different to the Naruto he thought he knew.
Everybody's screaming,
I try to make a sound but no one hears me…
I'm slipping off the edge,
I'm hanging by a thread,
I wanna start this over again.
So I try to hold,
Onto a time when nothing mattered,
And I can't explain what happened,
And I can't erase the things that I've done.
No I can't.
Sasuke couldn't believe what he was hearing. Not only could Naruto sing like an angel, but also the lyrics were so deep and meaningful.
The lyrics went round and round in the raven's head.
Does he feel this much pain?
Sasuke was a little depressed after hearing Naruto sing, but he decided on one thing. He was going to tell the blonde how he felt.
A few moments later, Sasuke went to tidy up a little, clearing the bed set. When he heard Naruto come out of his room with a small smile gracing his lips.
Sasuke breathed heavily.
How to say it?
"Well, I didn't really get much sleep, but it was pretty comfortable, were you okay?" the raven was too involved in his thoughts to reply, "teme?"
"Huh… Sorry, I spaced out." The blonde gave a small pout, but repeated his question, "Did you have a good night?" Sasuke rubbed the back of his neck and looked up towards the ceiling, "Yeah, it was fine… Do we have to meet Kakashi-sensei today?"
Naruto's eyes dulled a little, as if he was expecting more of a conversation. When Sasuke saw the sadness in his eye's he felt a fist of guilt in his stomach. He answered this way to the blonde normally, why is it only now that Sasuke seemed to see those forlorn eyes?
Maybe it's because the raven has his bloody eyes shut 24/7… [Sorry… a little carried away .'
"Do you want to get some ramen or something, I'm still bored you know. Yesterday wasn't very entertaining." Will a small smile appearing on his lips the raven spoke, hoping that would cheer Naruto up.
"Really? Will you pay?" the blonde replied with his classic fox grin on his face. "Yeah, I guess I'd ought to say thanks for letting me stay the night."
"YES!" And the blonde was out the door, quicker than a cat with its tail on fire.
He really is mad, but… I still don't know how to break it to him, maybe… I should just say it to him straight. Naruto… I love you. No, too out there…
"Sasuke-teme? You coming or what…? You can't pay unless you're there, duh!"
"Yeah, I'm coming."
