Naruto laid in his bed that night. Thinking. He hurt his teammate and without meaning too. He should've known that Sasuke would take it the wrong way. He sighs as he looks up at the ceiling. 'I might have to find a different way to approach this?' Naruto's eyes went wide. Realizing that the person he has in his thoughts was none other than his jerk of a teammate. He shook away his thoughts, going to the bathroom to wash his face. 'Who cares if I hurt him he is a jerk to me all the time!' he gripped the sink, digging his claws into the sides. Gritting his teeth. 'Why do I feel guilty then?' he looks into his mirror. A angered reflection staring back at him, 'I have nothing to feel guilty about.' He smashes his head into the mirror, cracking part of the glass, tiny drip of blood down his face, "Damn it," he grits out. Naruto dips his wash cloth into the running sink, dabbing his forehead, 'I should tell old grandps that I am going to need a new mirror."
That night while sleeping in his twin sized bed he had a dream.
9 year-old Naruto walks out to a place that he knew is abandoned. Only one person was living there. He looks over at a lake, seeing a raven haired boy sitting alone on the end of the dock. The lake by the boy's lifeless village. Naruto felt a tug at his heart. He knows what it is like to be alone. Even with many people around him. Even when people like his teacher or the hokage comes over to him to talk or to keep him company he still felt lonely. Naruto looks over at the raven haired boy who is called Sasuke. 'He feels the exact same way as me.' the blonde's eyes were beginning to water. Sasuke who felt someone watching him, turns to see the blonde boy staring down at him. Naruto's eyes holding sadness. Sasuke kept his gaze on the boy. Naruto smiles sadly at him. Sasuke clenched his fists inside his pocket, smiling back. But his eyes held a hidden mask. He turns back to the water. Naruto walks away with a single tear running down his face, not caring to wipe it away.
Naruto's eyes open up to the darkness. Remembering the dream he just woken up from. Remembers that day as if it were yesterday and he will never forget it. He wonders if Sasuke has never forgotten that day either. 'He probably has?' Naruto looks over at his alarm clock it was only a few hours before he would have to meet up with the gang and then go on a D rank mission. That reminds him of Sasuke going on that mission alone with Kakashi last week and just returned three days ago. 'I wonder if something happened on the mission?' He gasps. Realizing ones again who he is thinking about this whole time after waking up, 'What the hell is wrong with me!?' He hates Sasuke!
Sasuke has been giving Naruto the silent treatment the moment he stepped onto the red bridge. Waiting for Kakashi. Naruto wanted to talk to his teammate but not while Sakura was standing between them. Sakura looks over at Sasuke concerned then over at Naruto, going up to his ear. Naruto begins to blush to have his crush so close to him. "Hey Naruto?" she whispers, "did something happen between you and Sasuke kun that I do not know about?"
Naruto looks at her looking a bit guilty, Sakura watches this. Naruto quickly looks over at Sasuke then back at Naruto. He did not want to lie. He will hate himself for lying to her. But he did not want to tell her about what happened yesterday either. Since telling her that would mean telling her about Sasuke's brother and he did not think it would be a good thing when Sasuke was standing a few feet away. He looks over at Sakura who had worry in her eyes. She hated them fighting all the time. She looks over at Naruto waiting to see if she will receive an answer from the blonde.
Naruto sighs, and whispers back, "I went a bit too far yesterday," he decides to admit.
Sakura's eyes went over to Sasuke, 'I hope he is ok?' she thought, worrying for her teammate and love. She turns to Naruto, whispering with a bit of anger in her tone, "What did you do to Sasuke kun?"
Naruto gulps at her tone. He did not mean to do anything to Sasuke this time. He looks over at the raven haired ninja. Sasuke had his eyes closed but he notices something on his teammate's closed eyelids they were a bit red. Naruto gasps, 'It can't be?' he thought. Sasuke feeling like someone is watching him looks up at the blonde for the first time this morning, surprised at the stare. Naruto innerly gasps, 'They are definitely a bit red.' could it be? 'that he…' No that is impossible!
"What?" Sasuke decided to ask, confused at his staring. He was in a bad mood.
Naruto realizing what he was doing quickly took his eyes off of him. 'It must of been that Sasuke did not sleep well lastnight? Yeah it has to be that for his eyes to look like that.' "Nothing," he replies back quietly. 'Or he was getting the start of a cold? It can not be that he was crying! That is completely impossible!' Naruto looks over at Sakura still waiting for his answer. He innerly slaps himself about forgetting about her. He whispers back, "I can't say. Sorry... But do not worry about it Sakura. I will make sure to apologize."
Sakura was taken back by that. 'Naruto had never said something like that to Sasuke kun after a fight.' she looks over at Sasuke, 'Wonder what happened between them?' looking over at the blonde she whispers back, "OK Naruto I will not worry about it any longer. Just make sure you apologize."
Naruto smiles at her, nodding.
