Author's Note: Gah, it took me forever to get this next chappie up and it could not have been done without the help of my best friend in the entire world, Mallory aka Photomosaic777.

Both bodies remained motionless for the time being, neither dared to move. Neither could identify the feeling that paralyzed them whether it was love, hate, or pain, maybe even a combination of them all, but due to that fact that they are all so similar it was hard to tell. Then again it is unsure that it really mattered what they felt because they both felt. For the first time in years, their hearts molded and became somewhat whole most of the pieces came together for a time being. Neither dared to break the silence or change the song in the background of it all. The person who did break the silence was ironically the person who started it. It was at that moment that Itachi burst through open door and began to ramble about how much he already missed his 'beloved little brother' when he noticed the rather awkward position the two on the floor were in. "Well look what we have here, I didn't expect you two to be at it already, but then again I guess that old habits die hard"

Naruto was the first one that moved. He simply sat up, which inadvertantly just put his knee in a more awkward position for Sasuke. "Well, Sasuke-teme made sure that they did."

To say Sasuke was shocked at the blonde's reaction would be an understatement. Did he not know that it was Itachi's fault? That every time he tried to call Itachi would rip the phone away? That Sasuke didn't know he would be moving away from the blonde till he was on the plane? That Sasuke was pretty certain that his feelings had remained the same? Clearly Naruto was as clueless as ever. Sasuke was determined to fix this some how. He could no bare to see the hurt look know pouring from Naruto's eyes. So he got himself to stand up, pushed Itachi out of the door, and locked it. He did all of this very swiftly and with the graceful motion only Uchihas could pull off without trying to or looking like a complete idiot while doing so. Now came the hard part. Now came the talking part. The only part that Sasuke, like any Uchiha, wasn't very accomplished in. Low social skills do often come hand in hand with brilliance after all. Sasuke opened and closed his mouth several times accomplishing nothing aside from looking like a fish. Finally he came out with a " Na…ru..to…hehe…um…I think that we need to talk."

Which resulted in a "Well no shit Sherlock" from Naruto who continued to merely stare at Sasuke expectantly before remembering the Uchiha's problem with expressing any emotional thought. Feeling some sympathy, although he didn't think Sasuke deserved any, he started off the conversation. "Sasuke, I don't know what happened to you, but you screwed up big time."

Sasuke at first merely nodded in response before saying "Yeah, I know, but well… it wasn't my fault."

Naruto was surprised. He knew that Sasuke only talked to him, but coming out so formally made him want to believe Sasuke he just wasn't sure if he could. So, when Sasuke began to speak again, this time in sort of a rant, explaining what happened Naruto knew he was truthful in his apology. When Sasuke was done Naruto didn't want to push him any further. He could tell the Uchiha had already gone over his allotted word count for the day so he saved him the trouble of ending the conversation. However, Sasuke started rambling on again how sorry he was so Naruto felt the need to interrupt him. Sasuke was too cute when he was rambling not to forgive him. "Ok."

Sasuke looked up surprised before saying, "Are you sure? I mean you and me are we like ya know again"

"Well not like ya know ya know, but friendship is a start to that I suppose."

The Uchiha smiled as his roommate finished speaking. But to Naruto, that smile seemed out of place. It didn't belong on Sasuke's face. It was a genuine smile, far different than the ones he remembered. Not at all like the fake ones he used to please others. It was a smile that hadn't been used in years. The whisker-cheeked boy simply grinned in response.

The mood had lightened from awkward and emotional to calm and friendly. The duo expected the intrusion of the man whom both despised at the moment. And what kind of older sibling would let his younger brother down? At times like this, certainly not Itachi. He pried open the door after painstakingly picking the lock. The door swung open, revealing faces unknown to them. No doubt they stopped to watch the older Uchiha's rage as he fiddled with the doorknob. Their soon to be classmates.

Naruto felt as though he had been caught committing a crime. His black haired friend, on the other hand, felt nothing aside from his well hidden lust for the blonde.

Itachi looked sneakily behind him. A large crowd had formed behind him, and it seemed to be growing by the second. Sasuke mentally prayed that his scheming brother wouldn't make a scene. Much to the younger boy's discomfort, Itachi attempted to embarrass him.

"Sasu-kun!!" He wailed, hands stuck to either side of his face, his mouth taking on the form of an 'O'. He frantically shook his head to both sides, somewhat stomping his feet and screaming the entire time.

Sasuke fumed on the inside. He wanted nothing more than to knock-out his annoying sibling. However, he maintained a cool expression. If only the same could be said for his companion, whom was still sitting on the floor in front of Sasuke.

The blonde was shaking. He looked at so many eyes. They easily returned the stare but, if possible, with much wider eyes.

A voice, calm yet menacing, broke all forms of stares. "Reunited? I see... Let's celebrate, shall we?"

Sasuke chuckled and Naruto's fear dissolved as the words were spoken. The blonde finally stood up after several minutes of sitting on the floor like an oaf. He strode out of the room and into the open corridor. The young Uchiha followed him, with fluid movements, soon after. By now, most of the crowd had moved on. Although, many wanted to know what the two had been doing in a locked dorm at noon. Even Itachi seemed bored stiff at the current moment. He whispered a "See you later" to his brother and fled to his car. Or so it seemed.

The reunited friends followed the teen who had spoken out. Going to lunch with one of the most fear and most misunderstood students on campus. The seemingly anarchic and fully insomniac Gaara.
