Okay. So after this long wait I am here to present to you chapter for of my fic.
Disclaimer: I own Naruto. HA HA HA! (Mr. Kishimoto guns me down.) I'm just kidding! I own nothing except this Fanfic
(Btw Sasuke is OOC in this chapter)
So He's My Best Friend…
It had been a couple of days after the whole freak out incident. Naruto thought that life was going great. Okay that's a lie. Only one thing had been bothering him and that thing was none other than Sasuke Uchiha. Sasuke had seemed a little off lately. Well, to Naruto that is. But what our little Naruto didn't know was that it was going to get a whole lot stranger.
Naruto POV
Okay now I'm frustrated. Is it just me or has Sasuke been avoiding me like Sakura on hormone steroids?
I am super frustrated if you can't tell. I mean how am I supposed to feel? My best friend had been avoiding me and I have no idea what to do about it. I mean at first I thought that I was just being paranoid but then it became more obvious. I mean I am dense but not that dense not to notice. What, you don't believe me? Okay, exhibit A.
Naruto was walking to the park when he saw Sasuke. He was going to run up to Sasuke but Sasuke seemed to know that he was behind him. As soon as their eyes locked, Sasuke had a look like' OHMYGODI'MGOINGTOPUKE!' And before he knew it, Sasuke disappeared.
Now I just brushed that one off thinking that he was sick so I didn't question it but the next time was a little harder. I present to you exhibit B.
Naruto had just walked into the newest restaurant in town with Kiba. They were laughing and joking as usual. They were just about to sit down when Naruto felt like he was being stared at. When he looked around he noticed a set of charcoal eyes trying to light his head on fire. He was about to go over and give the bastard a piece of his mind when he noticed that it was Sasuke. Before he knew it, he was moving over to him. He was going to ask why he was acting so weird but when he got to the table, he noticed that Sasuke was alreadyAT THE DOOR! Before he could do anything Sasuke glared one last time and just… left.
Am I the only one that thinks that is strange or am I the weird one? And for those of you who are more oblivious than the average human. ( Yep, you're dumber than me!) I present to you exhibit C.
Naruto was really getting tired of Sasuke always avoiding him so he decided that a straight forward method would be better.
He decided that he would use Sakura's phone to text Sasuke and to tell him to meet him at town square. This way Sasuke had no choice but to show up. Because he was Sakura. Well, he was pretending to be Sakura. Which means that…Oh nevermind, you get the idea? So when he showed up at town square he saw Sasuke already there. He sauntered his way over to Sasuke. He stood directly in front of Sasuke so there could be no way that he could run away.
"Hey Teme!"
Sasuke looked down in surprise.
"Sasuke, I don't know if I'm just crazy but it seems as if you've been avoiding me lately. Look, if I did anything that upset you then I'm sorry but you can't just disappear. Why don't you just tell me what I did so that we can move past this?"
Sasuke looked down at Naruto and just glared. Then he turned on his heel and walked away. Naruto didn't even bother to try and chase after him this time. He was tired of the chase all he wanted was for his best friend to tell him what he had done that had been so terrible. Naruto started to walk away as well but then he got a text. It was from Sasuke.
'You should already know. Friends don't keep secrets from one another.'
Naruto was puzzled by the cryptic text. As far as he knew there were no secrets that he hadn't told Sasuke . As he walked off he seemed to have forgotten about his most deepest secret.
Time Skip
Naruto hadn't seen hide nor hair of Sasuke in at least two weeks. He never realized how much Sasuke had influenced his life until he couldn't talk to him anymore. He had reread that text over and over again. He kept checking to see if he could get some kind of secret code out of it. Every time he checked he didn't get shit out of it. So not only was he beyond irritated he was also a little depressed that Sasuke wouldn't just come by and talk to him.
He had texted and called and e-mailed Sasuke but the bastard just wouldn't answer. Hell, he had even written him a letter. That's right he had used snail mail just to have the mailman send it back because Sasuke had said that it was the wrong address! What did he have to do to be able to talk to him.
Now by this point Naruto was about ready to break down into tears. Why did this have to happen. It just wasn't fair. He wanted to make things better but he didn't know how to. Naruto felt like having a panic attack. It just wasn't fair. Why? That's all he wanted to know. Why? He knew that there was only one way to get the answer an that was by going to talk to Sasuke one on one in his own house so that he couldn't avoid him, run away, or pretend that he was not there.
Naruto dried his tears and made his way to Sasuke's house. On the trip there he was wondering what to say to him. What was there to be said?
He must have been spaced out the entire time because before he knew it he was at Sasuke's doorstep.
He took a deep even breath and knocked on the door. Then he waited. And waited. And waited some more.
He was about to turn around and just give up when he heard the lock on the door latch open. A disheveled Sasuke opened the door with a mighty yawn and a serious case of bed head.
"Whoever you are please have a good excuse for fucking waking me up"
"Uh… Sasuke?"
Sasuke fully opened his eyes only to have them narrow again in a heated scowl. Just as he began to close the door again, Naruto began to plead.
"Please Sasuke! Will you just hear me out? I just want to talk to you. I don't want our friendship to end like this. I just want you to please tell me what I can do to fix everything!"
Sasuke looked like he was contemplating whether or not to close the door on him but quickly changed his mind when he saw one lone tear slide its way down Naruto's face.
"Fine. Come on in."
When Naruto stepped into his house; it looked like a foreign place. It really had been too long since he had seen the place. The furniture was rearranged and the carpet was new. But the one major change that he had noticed was the lack of picture. Meaning the lack of pictures with him in them. Sasuke had always had a huge collection of pictures of just the two hanging up, but now they were all taken down and only blank spots were left in their spots,
"I really love what you've done to the place" Naruto stated pathetically
"Just talk"
Naruto looked down for a second and fiddled with the hem of his hoodie. He knew that it was time to seriously talk but he had nothing ready so he just spoke with no thoughts. Looking up he began.
"Sasuke you have always been my best friend. We have been through thick and thin together. Dude, you are like my family. I-I just can't stand the thought of us not speaking. I know that you are mad- no beyond mad and that I probably deserve all of this but… I DON'T KNOW WHAT I DID! I mean one minute you're all cool then the next you're avoiding me and sending me looks like you wish that I would fall off the face of the Earth."
By this time Naruto had sunken down to his knees and was sobbing. His cries wracked his body and his throat had closed off leaving him gasping for air. His eyes were red and puffy and getting worse by the second. But he didn't care. He had already held as much as he could. He couldn't take anymore so there he was breaking down in front of the bastard that caused all of his internal pain.
"J-just t-tell me w-w-what I d-did so I can m-make everyth-ing a-a-all better!"
Naruto didn't know what was going on but all he knew was that he hurt.
Sasuke POV
Sasuke down at Naruto. The last time he had seen him like this, was at their parents funeral. He didn't know what to do. After Naruto's rant he was left stunned. Naruto really was clueless. He had no idea why Sasuke was upset.
So all of the pain and torment that they both went through was for nothing? No. He knew that they had to find a solution but that would have to wait until he stopped Naruto from crying before he had his own panic attack.
Going straight from instincts he sat down to Naruto's level and pulled him towards himself.
Naruto POV
To say that Naruto was shocked would be a lie. He was utterly and completely shit faced. Not only was he being held, He was being held by Sasuke Uchiha.
Sasuke had sat down right in front of him and pulled him into a hug. Naruto had his face tucked tightly into Sasuke's neck whilst his legs were parted so that he was straddling Sasuke. His hands were gripping Sasuke's shirt.
Now if this would have occurred at a different time then I might have found this to be a little awkward but at the moment I can't find my self caring. All I do is burrow my face deeper into his neck while he slowly rubs my back in a circular motion. He doesn't do much except sit there and time to time he would whisper thoughtless comforting words into my ears.
When I had finally calmed down he pulled me back so that he could look at my face. Before I could say anything he pushed me out of his lap and stood up. I thought that he was going to leave me but instead he came back with a wet towel and began to wipe my face free off tears and the unusual puffiness.
When he was done he sat down again and I waited for him to talk.
Sasuke POV
When Naruto had calmed down I was ready to talk.
"Naruto. I need you to just sit there and listen to me. I know that things have been strange between us and I now just realized that you don't even know why. Do you remember when you had your date?"
Naruto nodded his head up and down
"Well Before I drove off I wanted to make sure that you were ok. But when I looked back I saw you… with another- guy…kissing him."
Naruto's eyes shot wide open. He opened his mouth about to say something but I shushed him.
"No talking yet."
He simply closed his mouth
"(Sigh) The reason why I have been so mad at you was because I had thought about it a lot and I decided that you would trust me enough to tell me that you were…Gay."
There it was out of his mouth now all he had to do was end his rant and let Naruto speak.
"I was just hurt that you were taking so long to tell me one of your most intimate secrets. I mean we promised to tell each other everything when we were younger and you never break a promise. So now I'm asking you… Why didn't you just tell me?"
Naruto looked back up at me and began in a watery voice.
"I didn't know how to go about it Sas. I mean how do you even tell someone that your lifestyle is completely different from what they thought it was? I guess it's not that I don't trust you; it's just that I was afraid of what you were going to say. I just didn't want to be hurt. I'm sorry that I was the cause of this entire mess. And I'm really sorry that you had to find out like that."
I looked at him and he looked right back at me. And then for some reason I began to laugh. First it started as a snicker then it rose up to a chortle it quickly escalated into a chuckle until it had evolved into a full fledged laugh. Naruto looked at me like I had totally lost my mind but then he started laughing too. Eventually it ended up with the two of us cracking up on my living room floor. It was completely insane yet hysterical all at the same time. After a good 15 minutes we had our breathing under control.
We sat up and he looked at me.
"Hey Sasuke?"
"What Dobe?"
"Does this mean that you forgive me?"
I looked at him and smiled. I laid back down to look at my white ceiling and he did the same. When we were situated I looked at him.
"Hey Naruto?"
"What Teme?"
I chuckled, "Yes it does."
