Watching Over U

Naruto's POV:

It's been four months since I started feeling the eyes on me. On rare days, I'll be able to catch glimpse of someone sitting on a roof which overlooks my bedroom window. One night during those rare days I was able to catch a glimpse of glowing red eyes. That night was the best night I had in a while. I was ... Happy.

The very next morning, I decided to do something about it... (Or in this case, for HIM). I made my way to Uchiha district. The main house still held its beauty ever after so many years of neglect. Luckily I didn't have to break into the house to access the garden in the back of the house and in the center of it.

'Just a jump over the fence and then, the roof.' I had thought.

I was looking for something. Something that I was hoping I would find here easily (and free). And knowing my wayward ex-teammate's obsession, I would. Even though the gardens were unkempt and most of the plants had died out, I was able to spot few of the fruits that were peeking out from the wilderness that was around. That day I had brought back few of the rare herbs and plants to add into my own garden along with the plants that I set out to get.

Well, that was a few months back. Now, I have a wide range of herbs, flowers, fruits & (unfortunately) vegetables adorning my garden. I have also kept attending to the Uchiha Main house gardens since my last visit whenever I get free time from missions (And I am getting a lot of free time from past few months for some reason).

I looked outside of my window when a flash illuminates my dark apartment. It's going to rain soon. It's so dark out that I had to switch on the lights and its barely past noon. I went to check my refrigerator for something to cook but found it bare. I checked the cupboards for my ramen supply and found them bare of any too.

'Great! I don't want to go grocery shopping now and face a storm later.' I thought. I looked out my kitchen window with a defeated sigh and froze. It seems today is one of those rare days 'coz there, in the dark, I saw two glowing red eyes. A very familiar, glowing and beautiful red pair of eyes, that I couldn't help but stare at it. I thought of them and of the person that holds them and of the coming storm tonight. After a while of staring and thinking about it, I was about to turn back to the problem at hand when a thought struck me, 'I could make some soup and chicken rolls to go with it.' I glanced towards the pair of glowing orbs out of the corner of my eyes, with a smirk. I am feeling mischievously generous today. (;D)

I run to my terrace, where I had grown my own garden, and quickly picked few of the fruits and vegetables that I might need to make them. I brought them in the kitchen and washed them before cutting them as I want. While I was preparing for my rolls, a thought came to me, 'Tomatoes, they were his favorites.' I looked around to check how many of those do I have, finding it insufficient, I ran back to the terrace and picked few more of them. It's starting to rain now. I looked towards the nearby trees where I know someone is taking shelter. I run back inside with a smile on my lips and a mischievous spark in eyes. "Soon..." I whispered to the air.

After a while, my Chicken Rolls and Tomato Soup were ready and served in two plates and bowls respectively. I finished mine and place the other at a nearby window. I wrote a message with huge letters, so as to be visible from afar, to clear my intentions and went to my room, turn off the lights and settled down for the night.

Sasuke's POV:

At first, I was suspicious when he sneakily entered in the Uchiha district. IT was closed for years now and resembles a ghost town. 'It's not like I have seen any! But, what the hell the Dobe is doing? And wasn't he was supposed to be afraid of ghosts?' I continued to watch him as he searched for something among the wild bushes that has grown there over the years of negligence. I couldn't see what he picked as his back was turned to me but couldn't care less anyway. I had abundant the district years ago even before I defected from the village.

Days went by and I was perplexed that he has kept coming back to the Main House. Days turned to months and he slowly brought life back to my mother's gardens. But somehow it is more beautiful than it was ever before. 'He outshined my mother in gardening.' I had thought with a smirk. It was odd for me, looking at the gardens, watching them coming alive slowly, and now whenever I'm around it the fragrance from the blooming flowers takes me back to a memory lane when I was young and blissfully unaware of the monsters in the shinobi world. A few years back it would have been so painful that I'd go out there and destroy everything but now when I have answers to all the whys in my life, I just feel like smiling at all the pleasant memories that rush back.

'I guess, even nature is affected by his livelihood.' I'd never admit that I'm affected too; you'd never hear me admitting to that. I looked up at the sky sighing to myself, it had darkened considerably. I'd need to find a shelter soon. I looked back at the apartment that I have been spying and saw him picking fruits and veggies for the dinner. 'Ah! That reminds me I've to arrange for my own food soon.'

-Tap-

I felt a drop on my forehead. I glared up in frustration as it has started to rain already. "Well, good-bye to you too dinner," I muttered to myself, irritated by the idea of skipping a meal again. I made a shelter for me on a tree from where I'd be able to watch most windows of the apartment. When I looked up again I noticed him turning off the lights to settle down for the night. I sighed in disappointment, over what I do not know. I made to send little chakra to my eyes to turn on my Sharingan as I usually do for night watch but found it already turned on. 'I must have subconsciously done so when the sky darkened.' I look around with little more chakra to my eyes, that's when something white caught my eye. Looking closely I realized it as a note. I checked his bedroom window and noticed all the lights switched off. I debated what if the note was for someone else. Then realized that no-one would come down here at this time, in this rain, if not in an emergency and there is no way for Naruto to already know of it and still be relaxed. So, I chanced it, I risked exposing myself and went near the living room window to read its content.

I've been acting coward enough and it's high time that I start making amends. 'I'm an Uchiha and Uchiha's don't act coward, they bid for the right time.' I winced. E-eh! Even in my subconscious, my voice doesn't sound very convincing.

As I near the window I noticed a ceramic bowl and a covered plate sitting near the note. I looked on confused. Was he expecting someone that I don't know off? I got nearer and settled on the window seal quietly. After a while contemplating my stomach growled loudly that I'm sure someone must have heard it. I checked the window for locks and found them unlocked. I slipped inside and settled down on the couch. I tentatively touched the bowl and felt the heat. I sighed after all its cold outside. I smiled and smelled the aroma of homely cooked food. I haven't felt this welcome since when I was seven. It warmed me inside.

I took tentative sips of my Tomato Soup and took small bites of Chicken Rolls, savoring the taste for the longest time possible. After a while, my need for meal won out my need of savoring the taste. I chugged down all. After finishing, I finally looked at the insides of the apartment of the person I like to stalk... um, no, not stalk, Uchiha's do not stalk they spy. So, yeah, the person I spy. It was exactly how I'd imagined his to be, Homely. While inspecting I noticed there to be another note, on top of what seems to be a pile of clothes. I don't know how I missed it when I first entered.

I looked at it suspiciously for a while, expecting it to poof off in smoke and reveal the culprit who left it there or vanish when it didn't seem to do any of that, I made my way to read the second note.

After few moments passed, I sighed in shame. I've been caught! And it had to be him of all people. I took the pile, inspect its content. It had a towel (I looked down at myself, dripping wet, wetting Naruto's floor), a change of clothes (I sighed), a blanket and a pillow with a stick-me note attached to it. I would have pouted if not for my Uchiha Pride (Damn my pride doesn't let me do anything).

I took the towel, dried myself and changed into the provided clothes. Took the dirtied towel and wet clothes and put it into the laundry bag. Then took the pillow and blanket, threw them on the couch and settled in for the night too. I thought about the three notes that turned my world upside down (again), but this time with forgiveness, acceptance, and love.

Note 1: "I'm full, you can have the rest. I don't like wasting food, especially when it's hard earned."

Note 2: "STOP wetting my floor, Teme. And I hate it when someone gets sick because of me, so change & put your waste in the hamper."

Note 3: "I know you've made yourself a shelter but since you're already inside, nothing beats the warmth of a home & a soft pillow, right?

You can have the couch, Welcome Home Teme."

"I'm home, Dobe." I wished to the air. A doodle of Naruto hugging Sasuke to death flashed through my mind, and ... I had to smile to that.

"Good night, Dobe." With that, I slipped into a dreamless sleep. The feeling of contentment invaded me for the first time in years. Tomorrow morning, it'll be the Final Test for me.

Naruto's POV:

I woke up the moment I heard someone breaking in. I kept my breathing even, giving the impression of being asleep. I wondered, is it some bugler or my stalker?

I heard footsteps and then a 'foosh' sound that my couch makes when someone sits on it. 'I'm going to guess it's my stalker then.' A sad smile made its way to my lips. I don't know whether he would accept other things. I didn't want to get my hopes up. So, I waited and tried to hear all and any sound that he makes involuntarily (I know him enough to know he would never make sound voluntarily).

I heard the sound of cutlery clanking, chewing sound, cranking of my notes, shuffling of clothes, a soft 'thump' of someone dropping something, footsteps and again the 'foosh' sound of someone using my couch again. And then, evening out of someone's breathing while few muttered words were spoken that sounded suspiciously like 'home', 'Dobe' and 'night'. I sighed and somehow making sense of muttered words I whispered my reply back softly.

"Good night, Teme!"

Tomorrow morning, it'll be the Final Test ... for Us.

Hey everybody! Here is the edit version of the chapter. It's same, I've just omitted few of my previous mistakes.

The chapter that I wrote quite a while ago but then I got busy with life and forgot to post it. It's not my usual Sasu-Saku or Naru-Hina story so most people may not like it. But then again I wrote this for those who have no problem with boy x boy relation.

So, enjoy the story and review me, please. I really like them. :)

Sayonara!
