Disclamer: I do not own Naruto. Only a Konoha Forhead Protector. Masashi Kishimoto owns all the characters.

The raven-haired made it back to his manor and laid Naruto on one of the futons in his house. Once he thought Naruto was comfortable enough, he went and fetched a large bowl, filled with warm water and a cloth. He wiped off the caked blood from the blondes face.

'Wow, he looks so peaceful when he sleeps. Not the energetic, loud-mouthed ninja. Almost angelic' Sasuke chuckled. He was slowly getting used to the fact that he loved this moron.

Sasuke sat with his back against the wall, opposite the futon. He closed his eyes. After a while Sasuke heard whimpering come from the other side of the room. Hastily, Sasuke jumped up and walked over to the futon kneeling beside it. He put his hand on Naruto's forehead feeling the temperature. It wasn't a fever induced nightmare. Sasuke studied Naruto for a small period of time. Naruto had stopped whimpering, but he started again after about 10 minutes.

Naruto started mumbling something that Sasuke couldn't quite work out. He knew it included his name but, that's about it.

Sasuke got up and turned to go to the kitchen when he was interrupted.

"Please, don't leave!" Naruto said loudly, his words slurring a bit. The boy was still asleep. Sasuke chuckled.

"I won't leave you Dobe." He said softly, walking back to Naruto. Before he knew it Sasuke had swiped away a few strands of stray hair from the other boy's face.

"No! Stay! You have to!" Naruto cried out.

After a short pause Naruto started mumbling again. But, this time Sasuke could understand what he was saying.

"What do you mean why? Because, you are my friend, that's why." Silence entered the room for a short time.

"Not a good enough reason? Well, take this Sasuke, you bastard. You take this wherever you are going. I don't want you to leave because… because… I love you." The golden-haired teen mumbled, his words slurring a little. A lone tear fell down his cheek and he fell back into a deep slumber.

Sasuke was surprised by the rhetorical conversation that Naruto was having. Had he heard correct? 'Maybe I should pester the Dobe in the morning' He admitted. Sasuke had drifted off, leaning against the wall next to the futon.

Good going kit.

What do you want? I am sleeping. Leave me alone.

Fine, fine. But, I am sure you weren't planning on telling that Uchiha brat your feelings eh?

What the hell are you talking about you old fox?

Hey, I am not old. I am only a few hundred years or so. Anyway, back to the point. Were you intending on telling that brat your feelings?

No? WhyWAIT A MINUTE If I did I should know right because I said it?

Ever heard of sleep-talking kit?

ButDAMN IT!

Naruto woke up and memories of last nights chat with Kyuubi flooded his mind.

"Oh shit—Wait, where am I?" He thought out loud.

Sasuke jumped up.

"What's wrong? Oh, and your at my house."

"Why am I here?" Naruto asked ignoring the first question.

"You were knocked unconscious because one of the villagers threw a rock at us, and it hit you on the head." Sasuke explained while his voice stayed emotionless.

The raven-haired boy got up and walked out of the room. He headed into the kitchen and searched the cupboards.

Sasuke pulled out a polystyrene cup of Instant Ramen, filled the kettle up and turned it on.

Naruto walked into the kitchen and sniffed the air.

"Ramen!" He yelled enthusiastically, then went and stood behind the other boy.

"Sasuke?" the Naruto asked quietly.

"Hn?" Sasuke answered picking up the kettle and pouring the contents into the polystyrene cup.

"Did I… Did I say anything last night? Because, Kyuub—" Naruto said before Sasuke interrupted.

"Well, it depends if you wanted me to know, right? So, I can forget all about it. "Sasuke stated, sighing.

"Yes—no—yes—Damn, I have confused myself"

The raven-haired ninja chuckled.

"Dobe. Well, do you want me to forget what you said last night? Or do you want me to acknowledge it? Either way I don't mind." He commented leaving the Ramen, and walking past Naruto flashing him a smile. Yes, you heard me correctly. Sasuke smiled.

Naruto's heart fluttered as Sasuke smiled. 'Damn, he should smile more often.'

"Oh, and by the way… Your breakfast is on the bench." Sasuke said leaving the kitchen and sitting in the living room.

Naruto stood there an eyebrow raised.

'Is he implying that he likes me or what?' He asked himself.

Naruto wasn't sure, but he was going to find out. Typical Naruto. Quickly the golden-haired boy grabbed the ramen that was on the bench and walked out into the living room.

"What did you mean before?" He asked slurping his ramen.

"I meant exactly what I said" Sasuke said picking up his book Ice Station and opening it to his bookmarked page.

"Exactly?" Naruto asked, having finished his ramen, he placed it on the coffee table.

"Does Uchiha Sasuke like the evil demon container?" He asked walking up to said Uchiha and sitting next to him.

"You're not nasty." The raven-haired boy commented.

"Ah, but you didn't answer my main question, Teme." Naruto replied facing the 'ice prince.'

'Doesn't Naruto get it? Oh well. I guess I will have to go to plan B. Come on Sasuke, you can do this just turn around and… You know then, run. Maybe? Ok, ready! Go!' Sasuke thought to himself.

"Maybe this will answer your question, Dobe" He said turning around to face Naruto. Before Sasuke knew it said boy pressed his lips against the raven-haired boys. Sasuke was surprised, after he got over the shock, the onyx-eyed teen kissed back. After sometime Naruto pulled pack panting, he showed Sasuke his usual foxy grin. But, this time it was different. A tint of red ran its way across his face. Sasuke looked down, grinning like a mad man.

"So---"He started, but then Naruto jumped up and climbed out the window.
