Naruto groaned as he sat up from his bed. Three weeks. He'd counted three weeks of repeating the same day. It was getting boring. Almost, lonely. He knew what would happen at every single moment of the day; he ad them memorized. He snatched the paper before it hit Sakura, he dodged the books, sliding them to the side, he walked over and opened the door before the person could walk into it, and they walked home in silence. After the second week, he gave up on trying to find out how exactly Sasuke felt about him. Every time he was close, something always stopped him. They never even went that far, either. It was killing him!

Rather than spending his day inside, he decided to go outside for a change. 'Maybe it will change the outcome.' He thought to himself. That's when it hit him. What if he did things differently to see if anything changed?

He started with dinner. Sure he loved Ramen every night, but it was for his sake that he tried something different. When he walked back inside, he walked to his mom. "I don't want ramen tonight."

"But you love ramen. You've never turned it down."

"But i want something else."

"What is it?"He had to think of something.

"Pork buns."

"Pork buns?"

"Yep."

"Okay…" He walked back, farther into the house, but stopped. Instead of going to his room, he decided to go into the living room. Minato was there, laying on the floor.

"You act like such a child sometimes."

"But it's more fun that when i act like an adult." He smiled. "You should know."

"Hey!"

"What are you doing?"

"Trying to change." Minato nodded, knowingly. "You have no idea what I'm talking about, do you?"

"Not at all." He just sighed and sat down. Soon, Sasuke walked out. When Naruto looked up, he saw that Sasuke had a light blush on his face.

"Can i talk to you?" Naruto stood quickly and walked into the room.

"What is it?"

"I…" He turned, his back facing Naruto. "I… I think i might…"

"I've never seen you so nervous." He turned around.

"Nevermind." He started to walk away, but Naruto caught him.

"I'm sorry. Tell me."

"It's not important."

"You started talking-"

"Let it go. Drop it."

"Come on…"

"I won't."

"Sasuke." He said.

"I love you, stupid!" Sasuke yelled. Naruto was inflated with joy. He finally got the answer. He pulled Sasuke into a tight hug.

"Finally!" Sasuke started to try to pull away.

"What do you mean, finally?"

"You don't even know how long I've been waiting to hear that."

That night, they slept in the same bed. They didn't do anything, but Naruto held on to Sasuke the whole night.

He woke up alone. The first thought that crossed his mind was that Sasuke moved sometime in the night. He shook that thought in favour for the thought of him getting up earlier. He groaned as he sat up and the entire situation flooded back into his memory. He, again scrambled to the laptop. He groaned. November third.

He walked out of the room. "You're up-"

"Can i stay home?"

"What?"

"I don't feel good."

"This is very sudden. What about Sasuke?"

"What about him? If he wants to go to school, he can. If he wants to stay home, he can too."

"Go ask him." He walked into the room.

"Sasuke." He sat up as Naruto walked in. "Do you want to stay home today?"

"I've had a perfect record. Why would i want to ruin that?"

"I was an option. I'm going back to sleep." He crawled back into the bed and buried himself in blankets. He heard a series of sounds before the main door closed. He sighed as he pushed himself out of bed and to the bathroom. He just wanted to see what was in Sasuke's bag. He's been wondering since the second week what was inside. He peaked and saw something orange, but Sasuke snapped it shut, so he couldn't look.

He held his breath as he opened the bag. It was just a binder. He deflated as he realized that it was nothing important. Sasuke was just private about his stuff. He closed the bag, but then opened it again. What if it was more than that? Curious mind and all.

He carefully slid it out. It was heavier than he thought it was. He had a hard time pulling it out without dropping everything in it. After finally setting it on the ground, he took a breath as he eased it open. He didn't know why he was nervous. He closed his eyes until the front of the binder hit the ground. He peaked one eye open, then both widened at what he saw. "This is…"

A/N: SO SO SORRY for the delay. I've had a lot going on and haven't had the time to write!
