N: hey guys! Thank you all for your wonderful pairing suggestions But I kinda lost most of them. I'm so sorry but can you all who've sent me requests send them again? I'm sorry to have you guys to go through this especially since you all have been waiting so patiently for me to update.

Thanks and here's another one shot for Chu545.

Pairing: Haku/Naruto

Prompt: Stars such as Haku didn't die on the bridge and had recovered while they were still in wave, then one night he follows Naruto out the house to the spot they first met is sort of what I was thinking.

Warnings: fluff, angst, and romance.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.


Naruto sobbed silently over the fallen body of Haku. He just met the boy not a day ago and now he lay dead in front of him. Killed by Kakashi's strange justu.

It couldn't just end like that. Haku was so nice to him and talked with him even though he didn't have to especially considering their circumstances and he said he believed in him. Believed in his dream. No one else ever said that to him and he knew the older boy meant it. Knowing this Naruto sobbed harder curling a bit into himself.

He couldn't lose someone like Haku. Not when he just experienced the feeling of a true friend. He just couldn't.

Suddenly the palms of his hands started to heat up and Naruto jerked at the tingling coursing through his fingers. He rubbed his hand to try and make it go away but the feeling persisted; getting stronger even.

"Kit…" that familiar deep voice rang in his ears and as if being controlled by invisible strings Naruto watched as his hands found their way on Haku's chest; directly above his fatal wound. Naruto shook a little at the wet and still warm feeling of blood but kept his hands where they were.

The blue eyed boy watched in rapt fascination as red chakra seemingly poured out of his hands and pooled around the wound. What felt hours pass until he felt the steady hum of a heart beat under his hands. Then after a raspy cough.

Naruto looked Haku's face through blurry eyes and saw the other brown ones staring back at him. The heat in his hands slowly bled away and Naruto slumped over in a dead faint over Haku.

When Naruto awoke he found himself back in the bed he occupied earlier that day. It took him a moment to get his bearings but as he sat up he noticed the other people in the room. Sasuke sat at his bedside staring blankly at the wall and Kakashi stood in a corner next to the bed where Haku lay. Sakura was nowhere to be found.

'Haku!'

Naruto's eyes widened when he remembered the other boy. He tried to get up Sasuke pushed him back and shook his head.

"Wait a second dobe, knowing you you'll get up too fast and knock yourself back out." Naruto would have retorted but he felt too winded to argue. He lay back down and Kakashi pushed himself off the wall and walked over to the boys.

"Sasuke do you mind waiting with Sakura while I speak to Naruto?" Sasuke opened his mouth to decline but a hard look from the jounin quelled any protest and with one last look at Naruto he left to join his pink haired teammate. Kakashi sighed as the door closed and turned to sit in Sasuke's place.

Kakashi stared at Naruto and the serious look he wore made the blonde flinch a bit. Kakashi saw this and gave him his trade mark eye smile to calm him.

"Naruto do remember anything that happened on the bridge today?" the question sounded casual but Naruto could feel the demanding undercurrent. Naruto turned away from his sensei and stared at the ceiling.

"No."

"Are you sure?"

"yes." Kakashi wasn't convinced but didn't press the issue further, he didn't think he'd get far if he did. He stood up and pushed his chair back. He looked down at Naruto with an unreadable face and turned to leave only to pause at the door.

"Naruto, please come out and join us when you're ready. If not I'll have Sasuke bring you dinner." Then he left without another word. Naruto eyed the closed door and slowly sat himself up. He took a deep breath and put his feet on the cool ground, steadying himself before gingerly standing up.

His leg felt okay and with more confidence he made his way over to Haku.

He couldn't believe he was alive! Whatever Kyuubi did saved his friends' life and grateful, Naruto sent a heartfelt thanks to his occupier. Naruto crumbled to his knees and sat on the floor next to the bed.

He rested his upper body on the bed and hesitantly reached out and grabbed Haku's hand atop the covers. The warmth from the other boy assured Naruto that the hunter nin was indeed living. The older looked so peaceful laying there.

"Do you make it a habit to stare at people while they sleep; or am I special?"

Naruto jumped up startled at the sudden sound of Haku's voice and tried to snatch his hand from the other's feeling like he was intruding but a firm grip stopped.

"Calm down Naruto-kun. I am not angry with you." Haku turned his head to look at Naruto and he gave him a small reassuring smile. Naruto felt the tell tale stinging behind his eyes and he tried to speak but nothing came out.

He wanted to tell Haku how glad he was that he was alive. He wanted to tell Haku that he hoped they could still be friends. He wanted to tell Haku a lot of things but looking into to his eyes Naruto couldn't.

His throat felt tight and his head felt sluggish. Nervous apprehension clawed its way in his chest and sweat rolled down his temple. What if Haku declined his friendship? What if he hated him for bringing him back?

Suddenly the room felt too small, too cramped. Franticly Naruto pried his Haku's and ran towards the door ignoring Haku's calls. He snatched open the door and disappeared through it. Kakashi saw him coming and stopped anyone from calling the blonde feeling that now is not the time for integration. Sakura glared hatefully at Naruto's retreating form, feeling like he brought back the boy who almost killed her Sasuke-kun.

Inari and his mother wore saddened faces and the bridge builder and Sasuke both gave Kakashi pointed looks.

The sliver haired-nin sighed but shook his head. He knew what they wanted but there was nothing he could do for Naruto.


Haku groaned softly as he struggled to sit up. The ache in his chest making it bit hard to breathe but he managed to sit up, pulling off his blankets to turn to place his feet on the floor.

Brushing his hair out his face Haku took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. It was gratifying to still be able to do that. Staring down at his hands Haku thought about was brought him to this bed.

His family was slaughtered by his father. He was found by Zabuza and given a purpose a reason to live. Then he died protecting the man who took him in. he thought that was the end for him.

Now he could have a bit of peace before undeniably going to hell. He was a killer after all. But when he opened his eyes expecting to find the gateway to hell he saw blue.

Beautiful ocean blue eyes looked back at his and for a moment Haku feared Naruto suffered the same fate he did. But when the blonde collapsed on top of him in a faint and was lifted up by his sensei Haku assured that what he feared was not true.

The sensei who was now introduced as Kakashi told him that somehow Naruto saved his life. Right now as he lay in the bed he was given he should be six feet under dead. He had no idea how to feel about that. Apparently no one did either. The black haired boy gave him an unreadable look before pulling up a chair to Naruto's bedside. The pink haired girl helped dress his chest but she made no eye contact during and did her task quickly before running out the room in tears.

Haku wanted so much to talk to Naruto but the weariness he tried pushing back was settling in and not before long he fell asleep.

When he woke up again it was to Naruto holding his hand. It felt soft and warm and he relished the feeling of it. It was a long time since some held his hand. He wanted to sleep a little more and enjoy this feeling longer but the eyes burning a hole in the side of his face stilled that desire.

"Do you make it a habit to stare at people while they sleep; or am I special?" the hand jerked and he gripped it to keep it in place. He turned his head to give the boy he hoped was a reassuring smile. He told the younger that he wasn't angry for his deed. It was quite the opposite actually.

Nervous eyes gazed at him and Naruto's mouth opened and closed like he wanted to say something but it won't come.

He went to calm him but it was too late, Naruto pulled his hand away and ran out the door.

But Haku wasn't going to let him go that easily. Naruto gave him a second chance and he was not going to waste it. Gathering all his strength Haku stood up and went after the blonde.

He bypassed Naruto's team and without a glance or acknowledgement of Sakura's startled scream. He calmly walked out the door and started his search for Naruto. It was lucky for him that he had not learned to mask his chakra yet so it wasn't hard for him to find the blonde.

When he did the sight of him made his heart ache. Naruto sat against a tree knees drawn up and head buried in his arms. He had no idea if Naruto was crying or not because the boy made no sound.

Haku padded over to him and sat next to him.

"It's a nice night tonight isn't it?" Naruto slowly lifted his head to look at Haku who stared up at the night sky filled with twinkling lights. Naruto looked up as well.

"Y-yeah."

"There is a saying that every star is a guardian angel for every human on earth. They sit up so high so that they can look over you anywhere you go."

"Really?" Naruto whispered.

"Yes, and you star is missing Naruto." Naruto jerked his head to Haku did so at the same time and captured Naruto's lips in a kiss. A muffled whimpered was heard but Haku ignored it to pull Naruto closer, to deepen the kiss. Hands gripped his shoulders tight but soon relaxed. Naruto wide eyes slid closed and he went limp to let Haku kiss him shyly kissing back.

"You're star would have been;-"Haku breathed against Naruto mouth letting the younger draw breath.

"But you kept it here and gave it to me;-"Haku trailed a hand down Naruto's back making him shiver.

"And used it give me life." Haku kissed him again and Naruto could feel the grateful passion from it. The intensity from it brought tears to his eyes and he hugged Haku to him, never wanting to let the other go. The kissed until they needed air again and a bit winded Haku laid his head on Naruto's shoulder.

"For that I am yours." Naruto held him tighter and nodded feeling happy that Haku was happy that he saved him. He felt happy that Haku no only wanted to be his friend but he wanted more than that. Naruto couldn't believe it but he didn't want jinx himself so he pushed any doubts away and just enjoyed this moment.

Naruto gently kissed the side of Haku's face and trailed his hands through the other's soft hair. Haku sighed and savored the feeling but he felt his energy was fading fast so he flipped back so that he was lying down and Naruto was nestled comfortably on top of him. They lay there in peaceful silence until Naruto broke it whispering.

"Haku?"

"Yes?"

"Ware aikou etowa-ru. (1)" Haku smiled pleased and finally fell asleep Naruto following soon after.


N: feels a bit rushed to me but I hope you enjoyed it. And look people their both ukes in my book. I had enough of a hard time getting them to kiss in my mind. God I need semes.

(1) I adore stars.
