Chapter 3


Sasuke opened the car door and Naruto stopped. He eyed Sasuke's bandaged hand and cut lip and within seconds he was by Sasuke's side.

"What happened to Sasuke?" the blonde cocked his head and carefully touched the raven's hand feeling the texture of the gauze under his fingertips. Naruto held the injured hand and looked up to Sasuke with concerned eyes.

Sasuke felt a pang at his heart. He didn't like lying to Naruto. The blonde knew all his most intimate secrets, dreams, and fears. The only thing he hid from the blonde boy was his personal life at home. He didn't want the blonde too feel sorry for him. He hated getting people's pity.

"Don't worry Naruto I'm fine." Sasuke tried to avoid the question but he knew Naruto wouldn't let it go.

Naruto nodded and didn't question Sasuke for the moment. He pulled Sasuke carefully into the back seat of Kushina's car so they could sit together.

"Oh Sasuke…. Guess what?"

"What?"

"I got a new pet!" Naruto yelled making his mom giggle at his enthusiasm. She loved seeing Naruto beam and smile. He was always a happy boy but he seemed even happier whenever Sasuke was around.


Naruto pulled Sasuke to his room to finally introduce him to his pet frog.

"Sasuke I know Gama-chan is gonna like you. I've had him for 3 weeks now and he is so cute…" the blonde babbled on about his frog.

Sasuke laughed.

Naruto opened the door to his room and led Sasuke to the medium sized tank.

"Gama-chan this is Sasuke."

Sasuke raised a brow as he heard the frog croak.

"Do you wanna hold him?" Naruto said to the raven as he opened the tank and reached in.

"It's ok."

"Are you sure?" Naruto pulled his hand out and pouted at the raven. He guessed Sasuke didn't really like frogs.

"You don't like Gama-chan huh?" Naruto pouted and Sasuke chuckled.

"I do it's just I can't hold him properly with my hand bandaged like this." Sasuke explained to Naruto making the boy pout again. He wanted Sasuke to hold his frog but he guessed Sasuke was right.

"But I'll try to pet him if that'll make you feel better."

Naruto grinned and got on his toes to reach for the slippery amphibian.

Naruto had the slimy frog in his hands and laughed.

Sasuke ran his finger over the frog's spine feeling the moist skin of the green amphibian. The frog croaked and Naruto laughed.

"He likes you Sasuke."

After Sasuke had pet Gama-chan Naruto put him back into his tank and fed him. Sasuke watched through the glass and occasionally tapped it getting the frog to look at him and croak.

"Hey Sasuke do you think Aoda would like me?" The blonde asked curiously as he thought about Sasuke's pet snake.

"Yeah he will. I always talk to him about you." Sasuke admitted.

Naruto smiled widely at the idea that Sasuke would talk to his snake about him.

"About what…Sasuke?"

Sasuke smiled "I tell him that you're a great singer and that you have bright blue eyes and golden blonde hair and a nice smile. I also told him that you are a dobe."

Naruto chuckled and punched Sasuke in the arm playfully.

"Don't call me that teme."

The two boys laughed as they exchanged playful punches.

"When Kushina and Minato fall asleep we should watch a movie." Sasuke smirked as he pinned Naruto down on the carpet.

Naruto laughed "Ok. I like the action movies they're the best but I don't really like when the adults kiss."

Naruto scrunched his face making Sasuke smirk.

Sasuke took off his backpack and unpacked his things.

"You want some snacks?" He asked the blonde as he took out the chips and cookies he had packed.

"Yeah!"


"That was a good movie Sasuke. I'm glad I closed my eyes when the adults started to get naked. That was nasty."

"I know. I closed my eyes when the woman took off her shirt." The raven admitted making Naruto blush.

It was around midnight and the two boys were on the blonde's bed. They weren't really tired. The two had snuck downstairs and broke into the pantry to grab some soda and red bull that Minato kept in the fridge.

Now the boys were wide awake but they couldn't be loud or else they'd wake up Naruto's parents and they both agreed that Kushina was a scary lady when she was angry.

The boys had played ninjas, they played board games and they even jumped on the bed.

"What do you want to do now Sasuke?" Naruto asked as he continued to bounce on the bed.

Sasuke dipped every time the mattress sunk from Naruto bouncing on it.

He thought for a moment.

"Let's play some video games."

Naruto laughed "No way I always win you're a horrible gamer teme."

Sasuke glared at the dobe but he was right he wasn't really good at playing video games. Now that he thought about it he wasn't good at anything. His dad always told him he was a good for nothing boy and that he had no talents. The boy frowned.

Naruto stopped jumping and cocked his head to the side and wondered why Sasuke was frowning.

"Hey Sasuke what's wrong?" the blonde asked his friend concerned.

Sasuke clenched his fists and punched the mattress multiple times.

Naruto watched wide eyed as his friend lashed out on the mattress mumbling obscenities.

"Sasuke stop. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings." Naruto tried to console his friend feeling guilty. Maybe Sasuke was upset because he said he was terrible at video games.

Sasuke abruptly stopped fighting back the howl that ached to come out.

"No it's not that it's something else." The raven said through clenched teeth.

Naruto stayed silent and waited for Sasuke to continue. The raven lay on the mattress and covered his eyes.

"Sasuke please tell me why you got sad." Naruto lay close to the raven haired boy and turned to look at him.

"It's nothing forget about it."

Sasuke turned his face to look at Naruto. The blonde was pouting and his eyes were full of concern and worry making Sasuke feel worse.

The boy sighed.

"It's just that my father always tells me I'm not good at anything."

Naruto frowned and poked Sasuke's forehead making Sasuke open his eyes and sit up quickly.

Naruto did the same and smiled.

"Dummy your dad's stupid if he thinks that then but you know what Sasuke?"

Sasuke raised a brow and leaned closer to the blonde almost like if the blonde was going to tell him the biggest secret in the world.

"I know what you're good at?" Naruto took Sasuke's hand into his.

Sasuke watched curiously and felt warmth all over his body at Naruto's touch.

"You're good at being my best friend Sasuke." Naruto said as he smiled and hugged the raven haired boy.

Sasuke's heart stopped and his breath was taken in that short instance. He wondered why he was feeling this. He wrapped his arms around Naruto and didn't let go afraid that the warm feeling would disappear.

"You're my best friend too Naruto."
