Naruto just stared for a few second before shaking his head in befuddlement. A warm, mid-morning summer breeze blew in, fluttering their hair. "What are you doing here Sasuke?" Sasuke rolled his eyes as he ran a hand through his hair. "I'm your tutor for summer school." Naruto was slightly dazed by this information but he stepped aside to allow Sasuke into his home. They went on in, passed the living room, and into the kitchen where they sat across from each other at the dining table. Sasuke took off the backpack that Naruto just realized he had on and placed it on the table. He took out a folder and handed it to Naruto. "Here's your assignment for this week. I'll be coming every Tuesday and Thursday for the next 6 weeks to help you." Naruto scoffed. "I don't need help! I can do this all on my own. I'm not a kid or anything." Sasuke raised an eyebrow at him. "So then why am I here tutoring you because you didn't graduate on time?" That one hit the nail on the head. Naruto gaped and blushed slightly in embarrassment. Then his bottom lip jutted out as he pouted. "I could've graduated! I just thought the work not up to my standards and so not worth my time." Sasuke gave and exasperated sigh. He took the folder and whacked Naruto over the head with it.

"Ack!" Naruto, taken by surprise, was knocked off his chair. He landed sprawled on the floor, the wind knocked out of him. Sasuke sat shocked for a few seconds before broke into a fit of laughter. Naruto recovered enough to sit up glared at the dark haired boy but couldn't find it in him to be angry. Sasuke laughing was extremely rare, so he looked up his laughing face, taking in every detail before he finally stood up. "Bastard! Don't laugh at me," he said with a grin. He kicked Sasuke's chair, toppling him. Sasuke, however, had quick reflexes and grabbed the side of the table before he fell flat on his face. Naruto didn't let him recover. The blond tackled the other boy the floor and they wrestled for a few minutes before Naruto pinned Sasuke to the ground. "Ha! Even now I can pin you so easily. Nothing's changed since we were kids," Naruto smirked as he breathed heavily. Sasuke just rolled his eyes, his slim chest heaving. "Whatever dobe, I'm still smarter." Naruto smirk slipped and he pouted again. "That's not true! I'm way smarter, stronger and mature than you'll ever be!"

"Then why are you pouting like a child who isn't getting his way?" Sasuke asked, looking up at Naruto with a satisfied grin. At this point, both boys suddenly realized what they must look like to an outsider. One boy pinning down another and the boy pinned down was smirking up at him in a satisfied way. Naruto blushed furiously before he sprang to his feet. Sasuke stood up slowly, his cheeks slightly coloured. He cleared his throat. "Er, we should probably start on your assignment."

The assignment was actually very easy, and they finished within a couple hours. Naruto looked up at the clock above the stove. "It's only 1 o'clock!" he exclaimed in disbelief. Sasuke smirked. "I told you I'm a great tutor." Naruto gave him a look. "You never said that." Sasuke ignored his comment and got up. "Can I use your kitchen to make lunch?" Naruto raised his eyebrows at him. "Sure, but you have make some for me too!" As if to agree, Naruto's stomach gave a loud grumble. Sasuke sighed. "Yea, I guess I could do that." Sasuke went and rummaged through the fridge and cupboards and Naruto went back to his living room. He turned the television on and began flipping through the channels. As he did this, a funny thought came to his mind. ~ It almost feels like we're a normal couple going through a normal day. ~ He laughed silently to himself, thinking about Sasuke being his wife in the kitchen. It also made him blush a bit. He finally settled for watching a movie because nothing good seemed to be on TV. He went and chose a random DVD and put it into the DVD player. As the movie was starting, Sasuke came in with two plates for them. Naruto moved over to make room for him. Sasuke sat down next to him on the lime green couch and handed him his plate. Sasuke snickered. "What are you snickering for?" Naruto turned to ask, a hint of annoyance in his voice. "Why are you watching a movie called The Boy in the Striped Pajamas?" he said, reading the title as it came on the screen. Naruto turned back to the screen and shrugged his shoulders. "It's a movie about WWII." And with that, they sat and watched the movie.

By the end of it, Naruto looked like he was trying to hold back tears. They had long since finished their meal and Naruto was gripping the plate with intensity. "What's wrong with you?" Sasuke asked, raising an eyebrow. "Nothing! I'm just a bit of a sucker for sob stories, ok? I thoght it was about war!" Sasuke gave him a mildly surprised look. He didn't know this side of Naruto. It was almost cute. Naruto gave a loud sniff. "I mean, it sucked how those Nazis treated the Jews. And race shouldn't matter. Look at you and me! I wouldn't put you in a camp like that just because I'm blond and you're not. So what?! We're still best friends. And you don't realize what you have till it's gone. Those poor boys…" Naruto's tears were flowing freely now. Sasuke didn't know that such a knucklehead like Naruto could be so moved by a movie. Sasuke thought nothing of his actions as he wrapped an arm around Naruto's shoulders. Naruto leaned into the comfort and laid his head on Sasuke's shoulder. He cried silently as Sasuke just held him, though somewhat awkwardly. When Sasuke no longer heard Naruto sniffing he asked, "Hey, you ok now?" But Naruto gave no answer. He had fallen asleep. Sasuke was a little surprised but he grinned a little nonetheless. He gently laid Naruto across the couch and turned off the TV and DVD player.

Sasuke went to go get his things and leave but when he passed by Naruto on the couch, sleeping so peacefully, he couldn't resist bending down and quickly kissing him. It surprised him when he felt the familiarity of his lips. He didn't remember ever kissing Naruto, at least, not outside his dreams. Suddenly, he felt tingles down his body, as if he were being touched softly. For one reason or another, he knew it was the feel of Naruto's hands and lips touching his body, even though he could see Naruto lying on the couch asleep. ~ What the hell is wrong with me? ~ Sasuke gave Naruto a long look before he left the Uzumaki residence, feeling as though there was something very amiss.
