Next chapter here! Sorry it's been a while.

In response to the reviews, thanks for reviewing and giving your opinion on the story! I understand where you are coming from, but in all honesty I was mainly doing the story for the smut. However you made me think that, even though I am only doing it for the smut, that I should add depth to the story and make it likeable.

And I now have a new direction I am taking this fanfic, thanks to one specific review. So thanks to that person. (:

I hope you all enjoy this next chapter though.

Naruto walked out of the huge, brick, building that he had been sitting in for the past four hours. He stretched as he walked out, and sighed. The morning had been long. Very long.

The night previous, he had talked to Sakura about his relationship development with Sasuke. He was happy about it, of course. And was more than willing to talk about it with his green eyed friend. She had been especially happy for him, now that his childhood crush had finally noticed him, albeit, under strange circumstances. Now they were, he guessed, technically dating. And he couldn't have been happier.

The morning had been long due to the fact that not even an hour after Sakura had left to go back to her dorm, Naruto received a text from Sasuke saying to meet him at a popular park a couple of miles away. Naruto didn't know what the onyx eyed boy was planning, or what they were going to be doing at a park, but Naruto was more than a little curious and excited.

He still had a few hours until he should go to the park, as Sasuke told him to meet him there at six, and it was around one thirty. So Naruto decided to go to his dorm and get something to eat. He walked across the campus until reaching the dorms, then made his way to his floor and room. Unlocking the door, he tossed his bag on the bed and plopped down next to it, falling back on the fluffy pillows. He sat there for a moment, before sitting back up and going to his stash of junk food he had in one of his desk drawers. There was one cup of ramen left. He would have to go to the store again soon.

He grabbed the instant ramen and pulled back the lid before filling it up with water from a water bottle, as he didn't want to go to the bathroom to fill it up. He sat it in the cheap microwave he had bought a while ago to allow himself to have inexpensive, easy food. He set it for the correct amount of cooking time before going and laying back on his bed again.

Naruto got lost in his mind for the few minutes it took to cook the ramen, and when the microwave beeped, it made him jump. Breathing deeply, the blonde stood up and got the cup out of the microwave and grabbed some chopsticks and dug in. It burned his mouth on the first bite, so he had to slow down, but after a few minutes it began to cool enough for him to stuff his mouth with the delicious noodles.

He quickly finished his meal, and threw away the empty styrofoam cup. He felt really sluggish and tired, so he laid back on his bed, again, and decided that a short nap would do him some good. He fell asleep thinking about what might occur at the park in a few hours.

He felt like crap. He hated when this happened. When you take naps, you're supposed to wake up rested. You aren't supposed to wake up felling like you haven't brushed your teeth in weeks and groggy. Ugh. There was just no point in even taking naps. Sighing, Naruto rolled up out of his bed and glanced at his clock. It said it was five in the afternoon, so he still had about forty-five minutes before he should leave for the park. He got up and grabbed his toothbrush, and started walking out of his room to walk to the bathroom and take care of the mouth problem.

It took about ten minutes to walk there, brush his teeth thoroughly, then walk back. So that killed some time. All Naruto really needed to do was brush his hair (as he had bed-head hair) and maybe change some clothes.

So he did that. After brushing his hair down, only to tousle it a little afterwards, Naruto stripped off his shirt and pants in exchange for some nicer, cleaner jeans, and a red, plaid, button-up shirt. He thought he looked pretty good.

He noticed to clock said it was five twenty-five. Naruto figured it was time to start heading to the park, so he grabbed his keys to the room, and walked out to the campus. There were some student still bustling around, and surprisingly, the weather was really good. Usually it was either really cold and rainy, or really cold and dry. Instead, it was somewhat warm with a slight breeze. Naruto smiled as he walked to this used car that was in the student parking lot. It was a silver Altima that had a few scratches and bumps, but the car still worked well, so Naruto was fine with it.

He unlocked the car, and got into the driver's seat and turned on the car. The car rumbled to life, and the blonde pulled out of the parking spot. The traffic on the roads was pretty heavy, as he figured it would be. He was in five o'clock traffic unfortunately, so he was glad he left a little early.

It didn't take him as long as he thought it might have to get there. He didn't see Sasuke, so he went to the white bridge that was located over a small creek that ran through the middle of the entire park. It had a few lamps lighting the path, and they were already on as it was starting to become dark already. Daylight savings time sucked.

He leaned against the railing and looked around at the park that laid out in front of him, looking for the spiky black hair that he loved so much. It didn't take long to spot him. Naruto saw Sasuke standing next to a girl with reddish pink hair, and she was practically hanging off of him. Her hands were running up and down Sasuke's arms, and she pressed her chest against his.

Naruto saw red.

Did Sasuke tell him to come out here just so he would see him being hit on by a girl? Did he set this up? Was he doing this to make fun of him? Have the last few days been nothing but jokes to Sasuke, even though they meant everything to Naruto? Is his love life turning into a huge fucking soap opera?

He didn't know what he was more upset and angry about. The fact that Sasuke was being hit on by another person, a girl none the less. Or the fact that he was just allowing it.

Furious, and more than a little dejected, Naruto marched over to the two flirts and pushed them apart.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" He directed it to both of them, but he mainly meant it for Sasuke.

Sasuke looked at him with wide eyes, about to respond, but the red head beat him to it.

"What do you want? I am just talking to Sasuke-kun." She giggled at Sasuke's face when she added the honorific to his name. He looked almost disgusted at its use.

Naruto was shaking in anger as Sasuke finally said something. "Naruto, I wasn't willingly talking to this… annoyance." Naruto looked into Sasuke's face, as though searching for the truth. Sasuke continued. "She came up to me."

Honestly, Naruto didn't know if he should believe him or not. He hadn't been with him but for a few days at least, and prior to that he had barely spoken to him. How did he know if he was telling the truth?

"If she was such an annoyance, why didn't you push her away when she was practically dry humping you? You could have gotten her to stop, but you didn't. Not at all." Naruto was just irritated now.

"Ugh, excuse me. I am not an annoyance." Karin spat at Naruto before turning to Sasuke again. "Sasuke, let's get away from this freak."

Naruto shook his head in disbelief. Did she not hear Sasuke call her an annoyance as well? Not that he cared. He was still upset with Sasuke.

"Don't kid yourself. I don't want to go anywhere with you." Sasuke told the girl.

The girl looked really dejected and sad, but Naruto was happy about it. He wanted her to leave so he could talk to Sasuke about what was going on.

She sighed and tried to hand a piece of paper that appeared to have her number on it to Sasuke. He grabbed it, and crumpled it, then threw it to the ground, she didn't see however, as she was already walking away.

When she was out of ear shot, Naruto turned to Sasuke. "Why didn't you push her away? Why did you let her grope you like that?"

"I was about to, but I saw you coming." Sasuke sighed. "Please don't think much of it Naruto. Karin is just one of my fangirls that tends to harass me more than the others."

Naruto looked at him with a mixture of anger, sadness, and a little disbelief. "I… I know it's not your fault, but you still didn't do anything to make her stop."

Sasuke paused. He had a feeling deep in his gut roll around at the look on the blonde's face. He didn't like that feeling. He felt as though he had just really disappointed the whiskered boy, and he felt bad. He shouldn't have been feeling bad though, and that in itself made Sasuke feel uncomfortable. Why was he starting to feel like this?

Naruto sighed and looked down. "Look, why don't we just go back to the dorms? I'm not in the mood to really do anything tonight anymore." He paused. "So yeah. I'm just going to go."

Sasuke's gut tightened. "Alright." Sasuke paused this time. "I am sorry about what happened. You're right. I should have done something sooner. I let it go to far."

Naruto looked back up at him and smiled slightly. It seemed as though his words had alleviated some of the worry off of the blondes mind. The smile made him give a crooked smile as well, and made Sasuke's stomach flutter. When he realized what he was feeling, his smile faltered a bit. "Let me walk you to your car at least." He offered.

Naruto nodded, and the two walked off of the bridge to the parking lot outside of the parks gates. It was a silent walk. Neither of them said anything. When they got to Naruto's car however, Sasuke stopped him before he could get in his car.

"I really am sorry Naruto." For some reason Sasuke felt as though he had to make it up to Naruto. He felt sick at the thought that he had caused his blonde any type of pain. Even if it hadn't been completely his fault. As some sort of penance, Sasuke leaned down slightly to kiss Naruto's forehead, smiled a little at the small shocked look on his face, and walked away. His car was on the other side of the parking lot.

Naruto was happy that Sasuke did show a little remorse for not stopping, as he now knows her name, Karin. Though now that he thought back on it, he had been a little unfair to Sasuke. He was probably just going to wait for her to get bored with him not responding, and leave. He sighed as he pulled out of the parking lot. AS he pulled into the now dimmed traffic, he caught sight of Sasuke in his peripherals. He was getting into his car as well.

Naruto sped up, wanting to get back to his dorm before Sasuke had a chance to catch him the halls or on the campus.

Sasuke sat in his black sports car, with it left running. He needed to figure out was he was feeling for Naruto. He couldn't like him, right? He hadn't truly felt anything for anyone in a romantic way in… well… he had never felt anything romantic towards anyone. So he didn't know if the butterfly feeling he felt whenever he saw Naruto was the feeling of love, or something else. He figured he would understand them in a while.

However, in all honesty, the reason Sasuke hadn't pushed Karin away was because even though he wasn't interested in her, at all, he didn't mind the physical contact. He was okay with sex and hooking up, but he didn't want an actual relationship or anything like that. Or did he?

Did he want one with Naruto?

He wasn't supposed to be feeling like that with the blonde. He had only really just started to get to know him, and honestly, he could be kind of bothersome. But that didn't bother Sasuke as much as he thought it would if Naruto had been someone else. This troubled Sasuke. Why didn't his annoyance affect Sasuke as much as it should?

You find him endearing. You think he is absolutely adorable.

Sasuke widened his eyes. He did, didn't he? He shook his head at himself. Immediately ending all thoughts that revolved around Naruto.

Rolling his eyes at his reactions, he pulled out of the parking lot and started to drive to the dorms.

He shouldn't care for the blue eyed boy. He doesn't. Besides…

He was only doing this because of a bet.

DUN DUN DUN! Now you guys are finally getting a view on what is actually going on.

I gave Sasuke a little part in this to foreshadow some things and give some insight on why he was suddenly so interested in Naruto. Did that surprise any of you?

I kinda hope so. :P

I hope you enjoyed this. Sorry for any spelling or grammar errors. I looked for them, however a writer can only notice so many mistakes in their own writing. And I do not have a beta reader or anything sooooo….

If you have any comments about the story, or any suggestions on how I can improve, review and let me know! Please show your support!
