WOOHOO!
Thankies For You're Comments!!
The two teens sat at the ramen shop, Naruto slurped his down in three goes; as usual Sasuke took his time.
Swishing the noodles round the bowl his mind began to wonder back to how he would tell Naruto his secret.
Maybe, I should be more discreet. Naruto, I've known you a long time and I've grown to like you a lot. No… that's way too cheesy.
"Thanks teme…" The blonde gave out a deep sigh as he stretched out his arms, "err… Sasuke-teme, are…are you gonna eat that?" Sasuke looked to see his special blonde eyeing the food he was playing with. "Yeah, course…"
The raven slid his bowl over to Naruto, and… once again… it was gone within three seconds. "You know… I feel like we've grown a little bit distant over the past few days…" Sasuke's head sprang up, "I think we should do something together… just you and me" All sorts of dirty thoughts ran through the ravens head.
"Okay, sure… I need something to do." He slid the money onto the counter and the two left, after walking for about five seconds in complete silence…
"Hey boy's… what are you two up to?" Kakashi: always interrupting. "Me and Sasuke-teme were going to train or do something…" The blonde replied, not noticing the perverted smile underneath Kakashi's mask.
'Something' hey? Wonder if they got together…"So what 'something' are you two planning" the sensei spoke, leaning closer towards the two boys.
Naruto caught on.
"Ahh... No, no we didn't mean it like that, just something like err... Well you know something, not that!" the blonde has a red streak across his face, making him look so adorable as he sunk lower into the collar of his jacket.
"Oh… and here I was thinking you two were dating" Sasuke blushed; only a light shade of pink but it was something and it didn't go unnoticed.
Underneath his mask the teacher's smile grew ever larger as he watched the two boys fight the urge to give him a good kick in the bollocks and then run off and never talk to one another again.
Naruto's cheeks had lightened a little; he was now sporting a lovely shade of dark pink… still very visible. Sasuke had a small tinge of colour on his cheeks, but it was hardly noticeable.
"Dating? Seriously?" Sasuke said as he looked at Naruto, who seemed to be pushing all outside things away, trying to forget what happened and stop the blood flow to his face.
"Well anyway… I came to find you because we have a mission finally!" the sensei said, returning to his normal height and shutting his eyes… eye.
"A mission? Really? It's about time…" the blonde was excited, team seven hadn't had a mission in ages!
"Humph… yeah, bout time…" the raven said, trying to calm himself down and refrain himself from attacking his sensei.
"You boys have two days to get yourselves ready… It's a C rank mission, sorry Naruto, and it's an escort job…" the teacher was expecting an ear full of 'only C? Escort? But I'm a ninja... Ninja's don't do this!' but instead Naruto was quite happy…
Guess he's grown up a little…"Well, I'm off I have someone waiting for me..." Kakashi then vanished leaving in a puff of smoke.
"Finally, a mission… wanna go train teme?" the blonde looked thrilled, as if it was his first mission ever. "Yeah, sounds great."
Once the two reached training ground three, they started with simple taijutsu, although they both tired themselves out pretty quickly. They started on ninjutsu when…
"SASUKE-KUUUUN!!" that annoying, high-pitched, shrill voice… must belong to a certain pink haired kunoichi… Sakura.
"What? I'm training Sakura… can you not leave me alone for two minutes?" Sasuke spoke coldly, trying to get her to go away. "I'll train with you! We can start on taijutsu…" she said trying to get him to agree, "Sakura, I'm training with Naruto, go away."
She turned around and for the first time noticed Naruto walking towards them. "Oh… so, I guess you're busy?" she said practically turning the last words into a whisper.
The blonde looked at his female teammate, and saw those all too familiar sad eye's.
"It's okay, you can practice with Sasuke. I'm going to hit the hot springs anyway." Putting on his classic fox smile he began to walk away.
That bitch… she made Naruto go away, I've had enough.
"Listen Sakura, I. Don't. Like. You. Okay? Just leave me alone." With that he began to leave. "B-but Sasuke-kun… We're made for each other-" "NO SAKURA… we're not." Sasuke was thoroughly pissed.
This girl is annoying. Just FUCK OFF ALREADY!
"Sasuke-kun…" "SAKURA! I NEVER LOVED YOU! I'M IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE ELSE OKAY? JUST… Just leave me alone." The raven began to leave, walking away from a tear filled Sakura.
Got to find Naruto… I have to tell him, I am in love… I AM in love… with him.
Sasuke ran through the streets of the town, panting for breath. Searching everywhere, the ramen store was his first place, then Kiba's, then the bridge, then Iruka's and anywhere else that popped into the raven's head.
Where the hell is he?
Sasuke was out of breath; he'd been running around for ten minutes. "IRUKA-SENSEI!!" he ran up to the brunette, waving his arm in the air.
"Have… you… seen… N-Naruto?" the poor boy had to stop in between each word to breathe. "Err... was he at the ramen store?" the raven shook his head. "Not there huh? Well I'll let you into a little secret, he's probably in his 'place'" Sasuke gave the brunette a questioning look.
'Place'…?
"Okay, you can't tell anyone… He's probably sat by the Sakura tree on the opposite side of the lake… he goes there a lot."
Sasuke flew past his teacher, rushing towards Naruto's 'place'.
God… I hope he's still there.
He began to walk as he admired the scenery. Blossom was falling onto the ground, a beautiful pink colour filled the world around him. A soft sense of comfort was around him, calming him down.
He walked a little further, when he heard a humming. Soft and angelic. Naruto.
He poked his head round the main trunk of the Sakura tree and focused on a particular blonde haired love. Naruto was sitting on the bank, his feet in the water, face towards the sky. Humming a small tune. It was the only sound, there were no birds, cars or people.
It was amazing. Sasuke listened for a little bit longer when he finally spoke.
"N-Naruto?" The blonde's head whipped round faster than lightning. "SASUKE?" the raven's heart stopped. He felt as if it was being wrenched out his chest, being pulled by the grim reaper himself.
Naruto was crying. His cheeks stained with tears. Small splotches of water on his trousers.
"N-Naruto… Please tell me what's wrong." Sasuke calmly walked over to his love, sitting down beside him, placing his own feet into the cool, crisp waters.
I… I just can't take it anymore Sasuke-teme!" The raven looked at the blonde, as more tears streamed down the whiskered face, "Can't take it? Naruto, take what?"
Naruto hiccupped, he'd never cried in front of anyone except Iruka before, "E-Everything… -hic-… L-life… -hic-… I JUST CAN'T TAKE THE HATE THAT'S THROW AT ME!" The boy screamed, ripping the grass around him.
The hate? Who hates him?
"N-Naruto… Who hates you?" the raven edged closer and wrapped his arm around his love, totally forgetting the reason he came here in the first place. Naruto broke down, crying uncontrollably into Sasuke's shoulder.
The blonde tightly squeezed the fabric of the raven's shirt, "everyone…" Naruto spoke in a soft whisper, partly because he was crying and had lost most of his voice, but another part was that he didn't want Sasuke to hear.
But he did. "I don't hate you" Still hiccupping, the blonde looked at Sasuke, almost in disbelief. The blonde wrapped his arms around Sasuke, holding him tightly, Sasuke blushed a little, but put his arms around the smaller boy's shoulders.
A few minutes later, the sun was just setting, Naruto had stopped crying, and he just lay in the raven's arms, being cuddled like a baby.
Sasuke forgot about telling Naruto his feelings, so he left it for another day, tomorrow they had a mission.
