'Why me?' I thought as I walked down the street. I felt terrible... Actually I guess terrible wasn't the right word. Maybe more along the lines of guilty. I felt really guilty at the moment. After Naruto had said he was keeping the baby I just kind of walked off. I hadn;t even paid him any mind when he started to yell,"But Sasuke! You're the father! Don't you have anything to say? Do you even care at all? Are you really just that heartless Sasuke?!" I hadn't even noticed that he was crying.
Sakura had shown up just before I reached the Uchiha complex. She had yelled at me for about thirty minutes straight about how horrible a person I was for ignoring Naruto like that and how bad I had hurt his feelings. I'm now laying down on my sofa trying to convince myself that I'm not a completely terrible person... It's not going well. I think I've been laying here for around four or five hours now. I haven't even gotten up to train. Not once all day. Pushing myself off the sofa limply, I finally decide to swallow my pride, get off my sorry ass, and go apologize to Naruto.
It was around seven by the time I got to Naruto's apartment and I ended up standing in front of the door for a few moments, contemplating the many various things that could happen when I knocked on the door. Some of the things I came up with were completely logical... others weren't. I eventually decided to just knock on the door but when I raised my had to knock I couldn't get myself to actually complete the action. It was almost like I was nervous, but that's impossible because I am an Uchiha and it is not possible for us to be nervous about such silly things as knocking on a door.
Before I could get myself to knock on his door I heard a click of a lock. The door opened to a confused Naruto. He raised and eyebrow and said in a half relieved, half confused tone,"Sasuke? What are you doing here? I thought you were Sakura. I like her and all but she really doesn't know when to just give up and leave. She's already shown up around twenty times saying she just wanted to,'Make sure I was okay and help me let out my feelings'." I just gave him and even more confused look than his own. He stepped t the side slightly and said,"Umm... I guess you can come in..."
I walked into the small apartment slowly. It was sunny and even though it was a little cluttered and there were random items everywhere it was a rather comfortable place. He pointed to the small, worn out sofa and we both sat down. The blond, obviously uncomfortable, looked straight ahead of him and said,"So..." I could tell he really didn't even want to bring up the reason I was here so I spoke up,"Umm... Well I guess I'm sorry for just kind of ignoring you at the hospital... I guess I was in shock. I just wasn't really expecting you to be... well..." Naruto just kind of nodded and said,"Pregnant? It's okay I wasn't exactly expecting it either..." It was completely silent for a moment before Naruto said,"So... Sasuke... What are you going to do? I mean I plan on keeping it and everything and... well you know... you're kind of the father..."
I thought for a moment not really knowing what to do or say. I mean come on! What would you do in this situation? Most people would probably panic or something. I mean getting your best guy friend pregnant in a drunken haze isn't exactly something that happens every day. I eventually let out a sigh and said,"I really don't know Naruto... I mean what can I do?" Naruto tilted his head to the side slightly thinking and a disturbing thought ran through my head... well disturbing for me anyway. Naruto looked really cute when he tilted his head like that. I'm not gay am I?
Naruto turned to look at me and said,"Well... I don't really know. I mean we aren't gay or anything so we can't, well, do what normal couples do when they're gonna have a baby... Not that I'm saying we're a couple or anything! It's just... This is so weird!" He was returning to his loud habits and I just said,"Tell me about it..." It was quiet for a few minutes before the guilt started to show up again when I thought of just not doing anything for the blond dobe. I sighed and said,"I guess I could help you out and stuff... I mean even if we were both drunk off our asses I'm still the father so-" I was abruptly cut off by a happy Naruto half tackling me and half hugging me. He had a wide grin on his face as he said,"Thank you Sasuke! Actually I thought you were going to be a total bastard like you normally are and just tell me that I should get rid of the baby!" For some reason I started to blush at the fact he was that close to me and I gently pushed him away saying,"Yeah, yeah... Whatever. I'm only doing this because my conscience hates my guts and would eat me alive if I refused to help you..." He sat back down next to me and said, scratching the back of his head,"Sorry about tackling you... Don't know what happened."
For some reason right then I had the urge to hug the blond dobe. He looked adorable. He looked absolutely, fucking adorable. I mentally slapped myself for even thinking that and just kind of nodded to what he was saying. 'Oh god', I thought,'Please don't tell me I'm getting a crush on Naruto...'
