Every dorm room in the house was almost identical; each came equipped with two beds, a half bathroom, and a small kitchenette. Naruto instantly took the bed by the window throwing his duffle bag down and sitting on the edged nervously, he couldn't help but be tense he... felt like there was something coiled in the pit of his stomach it was painful. It was painful, and it was going to break really, really soon... And then the flood gates would open and Naruto would feel like he was reduced to a nine year old again...like he was suffering through his parents dying all over again. Like he was killing his parents again.

He knew it wasn't true, him killing his parents, but part of him...his nine year old self was still so filled with self loathing, he wanted to die. ____________________________________________________________________________________

When Sasuke reached the room he was about to say something to the blond about choosing beds without talking about it but something on the teens face stopped him from speaking. Instead the raven set his bag onto his own bed and unzipped it grabbing a black towel and pare of boxers. He entered there bathroom and closed the bathroom door gently turning around to turn on the water before a voice in the bedroom stopped him. A voice he recognized as belonging to a very annoying red head, "Naruto are you okay?"

Now Uchihas do not eavesdrop, but Sasuke wasconcerned about his dobe...the dobe. He rested his head against the bathroom door and concentrated on the two voices just on the other side.

"Naruto are you okay?" Naruto glanced up from the discolored spot on the floor he had been staring at, surprised that the red head had entered the room without him noticing.

He smiled and his brother sat next to him sliding his arm around him and pulling closer. Naruto sighed, "I'm just tired Gaara,"

The green eyes narrowed and he tightened his arms around the smaller teen, "Liar,"

Naruto chuckled dryly, "You always seem to know." He pushed away, "I'll be okay in a couple days, some sleep...and I'll take the bike out tomorrow...maybe it'll help me relax."

"Do you want me to stay here tonight?" Gaara glanced at Naruto out of the corner of his eye, and he was surprised at the familiar deviant spark he caught in his dull blue orbs.

"Your just trying to get away from Deidra...I see what this is."

Gaara shook his head evident annoyance on his usually expressionless face. "I am not that desperate..."

"Naruto," Said boy looked away, "Call me if you need too, or even if you don't...you know if you're gonna be...stupid."

The blond's chest tightened and he glanced up a shadow of a smile on his face, "Sure oniisan..."

"And," The red head stood, "If you do, do anything...stupid, I'm telling Temari,"

Naruto glared at him ineffectually... "Meany."

Sasuke heard the door click shut and finally turned to start the shower stepping into the heat and letting it plaster his hair to his face. He wanted to know what was wrong with his blond...the blond, but his Uchiha pride, damn his Uchiha pride...he wanted answer's. What had Gaara meant...do anything stupid? Wasn't the blond always stupid?

Sasuke took a breath reaching to squeeze a liberal amount of shampoo onto his hand to massage through his hair; he ran his fingers over his scalp lost in thoughts of a blue eyed blond. And his odd behavior, and the pain that Sasuke had noticed behind his happy eyes, and his ass, not to mention the fact that Gaara was worried...and this was Gaara, the emotionless...wait...was he just thinking about Naruto's ass?

Oh fuck it.

The black haired teen growled and shut off the water grabbing the towel with unnecessary force and knocking the soap dispenser of the counter. He pulled towel across his body and ran it over his hair, when he was satisfied it was dry he slung the towel around his neck and bent down to retrieve the knocked over soap dispenser. He pulled the loose boxer on and opened the door.

Naruto was curled up on his bed, back to him and the blackest pulled up to his ears. Sasuke wanted so badly to ask him what was going on but he kept his mouth shut opting instead for turning of the lights and crawling under his own blankets.

It hurt...badly Naruto curled up into a ball, trying to squeeze the pain from his stomach. He was restless caught in the grip of a nightmare, stuck in memories of that last night that painful horrid night.

"It's stupid why does it have to rain today of all days?" A nine year Naruto glared out the window refusing to look at his father.

"Oh come on its not that bad," His father placed a comforting hand on his shoulder, "We'll go later, we have to go pick up your mother anyways," He smiled again...even if Naruto couldn't see him he knew he smiled,

Naruto huffed, "You promise?" He finally turned away from the window to his father, who glanced from the wet road to him.

"Yes, I promise," He smiled gently.

He was always smiling.

"Thanks Dad..."His father ruffled his hair earning a glare from his blue-eyed son.

The parked in the parking lot where his mother worked and Naruto unbuckled his seat belt to climb into the back seat.

He smiled when he caught sight of his mother, who wouldn't...she was so beautiful. She was a brunette, with long hair that fell down her back in lazy waves, and her eyes were every bit of the blue that her son's were.

She opened the door and smiled at her obviously grumpy son.

"Mom what are we doing next Friday?" The boy leaned forward to gaze at his beautiful mother.

"Well," She thought for a moment, "I'm pretty sure I have a doctor's appointment," She grinned, "And your father promised he'd go with me,"

Said man paled when his son glared at him, "Sorry, Sorry!" He glanced back at his pouting son, "We'll have time soon, 'sides maybe you should ask your mother what the appointments for," Naruto glanced at his mother, "Mom?"

She smiled, "I have to go in for an ultrasound?"

"Ultrasound..."

"I'm pregnant!"

Naruto stared at his parents blankly, then..."BABAY!!!!!!"

He grinned then quieted, "Dad were still gonna go to the beach...right."He glanced up at the rearview mirror and pouted.

His father laughed turned in his seat to console his son...

The light turned red...and eighteen wheelers can't stop on a dime.

Someone was screaming, and Naruto could feel blood running down his face, but it didn't hurt.

"Mom...Dad?" He squirmed against the seat belt reaching forward o touch his mother's wet cheek...why was the rain red...Why wouldn't the screaming stop...

Why couldn't he stop screaming?

Naruto was crying...Sasuke drug himself out of his stupor glancing over to see the boy through the dark room. Illuminated by the light pouring through the open window, the blond was curled up in the middle of the bed, shaking, tears running down his face. The raven stood out of bed approaching the small blond cautiously, reaching out a hand to press it against Naruto's tanned scared cheeks.

Sasuke watched his hand, watched his own pale fingers trace the scars and wipe off the streaming tears. The teen murmured in his sleep and a look of pain passed over his face, Sasuke couldn't stand it. He reached down and wrapped his arms around Naruto, sitting on his bed and cradling the cold body to his bare chest rocking gently back and forth while slowly inching back to lean against the wall, pulling the comforter up to wrap it around the both of them. All was quiet for a moment, the blond shaking in his arms.

Until the screaming started, the blond started fighting against Sasuke pushing away opening his mouth and taking a breath, filling his lungs to cry out or to whimper. Sasuke didn't know which but he looked down into Naruto's now open eyes, and lost himself in the deep pain and hurt that he found there, so when Naruto started to scream again...the raven kissed him.

He couldn't think of anything else he could do, he couldn't think of anything else he wanted to do. But he wanted to kiss Naruto, and he wanted to stop him from screaming...in his mind it fit. And it worked...

He kissed him gently massaging his mouth with his lips, tugging the bottom lip with his teeth sucking on it; he ran his tongue across the dry flesh breathing out a sigh of relief when Naruto relaxed in his arms. He glanced down into his eyes, glad to see them clearing slowly of the fear and pain.

Naruto's tan hand reached up to press against his own lips as if trying to recall the feeling of Sasuke's kiss. Surprised as he tried to focus his wayward thoughts on what was happening he pulled back slightly gazing at the Uchiha through the dark.

"Sasuke...did you just kiss me?" He voice came out in a husky whisper.

Sasuke was glad for the dark as the hot breath caused him to blush, "Yeah, dobe, go to sleep."

He tightened his arms around the smaller boy silently telling him that neither of them was moving. Naruto surprised him by wrapping his own arms around his midsection. He almost grinned taking the opportunity to scoot down and get comfortable with a pillow under his head.

Naruto had no idea what he was doing, what either of them was doing... He didn't know why the Uchiha was opting to sleep in his bed, and he was confused by why he himself was so comfortable with it. But he liked it...Sasuke's warmth.

And the memory of Sasuke's mouth against his.

He felt a blush spread over his face as recalled that moment, he stirred, "Sasuke?"

A moment of silence...was the other teen asleep...then, "Hn?"

"Why?"

He expected the raven to get annoyed, to tease him, to suddenly jump up in shock when he realized what he was doing. He prepared himself for hundreds of bad things the Uchiha could do...or say.

Instead pale arms pulled him closer, and held him tighter, and Naruto? Naruto felt protected.

"I don't know dobe..."
