Chapter 4

Sasuke was at a gay bar, on a Wednesday night. With Suigetsu, and also Naruto, Sai and Gaara. How the hell had it happened? Sasuke wasn't too sure himself.

It had been about two weeks since the night he had spent with Suigetsu because he hadn't wanted to stay home with Naruto and the whole threesome thing going on.

Since then he had gone on a few dates with Suigetsu. The latter was funny, and very sweet, not to mention good looking and not bad at all in bed. Besides he was a really social guy and he knew a lot of people, so whenever they went out to a restaurant or to a bar, he knew someone that worked there and he could get free drinks. They were always having a lot of fun.

Sasuke was kind of letting himself experience the whole dating thing. His feelings for Naruto weren't gone, far from it, but he needed to stop focusing on them, that was for sure. He needed to give this a try. He needed to have a life of his own.

And the silver-haired guy standing next to him, smiling with his arm firmly around Sasuke's shoulders, well, he was kind of making him happy. And maybe he deserved to be happy for once.

As for the reason why Naruto and his two gay friends were here, it was sort of a long story. The blond had surprisingly not lost his job yet, even though he'd called in sick twice already. He'd had a long day at work, and when he had noticed that Sasuke was getting ready to go out, he had interrogated him for hours, until he finally spat that he was going to some gay bar open on Wednesdays. It was mostly for the staff of other bars to go there and have fun while they weren't working, so obviously this was why Suigetsu knew pretty much everyone there.

So Naruto had kind of invited himself, and he had also invited Gaara and Sai. He had told Sasuke, as an excuse, that Sai had been bothering him to go out and do something together for a while, so maybe finally, after tonight, he would leave him alone. Sasuke highly doubted that but oh well, Naruto was an adult after all; he was free to do whatever he wanted.

And now they were standing at the bar waiting for drinks. Suigetsu was friends with the barman so, if not free, they would have good prices on their cocktails. When they finally got them Suigetsu clinked their glasses together.

"To us," he said.

From the corner of his eye, Sasuke saw Naruto roll his eyes. He decided he didn't care.

He smiled and took a long sip of his cranberry gin, and then he kissed Suigetsu, right in front of Naruto. It was a quite heated kiss, and when they pulled away, slightly out of breath, Sasuke glanced at the blond sideways. The latter had clearly been staring, but he quickly looked away when he realized he had been discovered.

After finishing their drinks they went dancing. Gaara was a really good dancer, and with his intense black eyeliner and dark red hair, was attracting a little crowd of admirers on the dance floor. As for Sai, maybe Sasuke was biased because he just didn't like him, but he didn't find him attractive at all, and he didn't think he was a good dancer either. Plus that fucker was trying to get Naruto to dance with him.

But the blond didn't let him. He declined and danced on his own instead. He was by far the hottest guy in the club. Well, of course, Sasuke was biased on that matter as well. But still, Naruto had such a perfect body, and he was showing it off tonight. He was wearing a black sleeveless top with skinny jeans. He had borrowed some of Sasuke's clothes because he had decided it would be fun to look totally gay – his terms. And with his mid-length, spiky bright blond hair and deep blue eyes, he was just so hot.

Sasuke needed to stop looking at him. It was just hard when all those strangers around were all staring intensely at the blond, and he felt so possessive. But, he needed to remember he had a boyfriend now. Well they were probably boyfriends. He wasn't familiar with this whole relationship thing.

"Sasuke," Suigetsu suddenly called his name, and he looked at him, "you were spacing out."

"I'm sorry," he said.

Suigetsu smiled and put his hands on his hips. He put his fingers in his belt loops and pulled him closer. They started dancing together, with their hips touching. Suigetsu started kissing his neck, and the raven tilted his head back with his eyes half-closed.

"Hmm you like that?" Suigetsu whispered in his ear.

"Uh-huh…"

"You're so cute…" he said as he entangled his fingers in his sleek raven locks.

"You're the one that's cute with your purple top," he teased.

"It's violet."

Suigetsu was actually wearing a black and violet v-neck tee, with pale grey jeans. It was a pretty cool look, Sasuke liked it. He was himself wearing a black tank top with dark blue skinny jeans and a silver spiked belt. He'd had a photo shoot today and his hair had been done perfectly sleek with a flat iron so it still looked like that. Of course, Suigetsu loved it.

After a while Sasuke took another look at their group of friends. His eyes widened at what he saw. Sai was dancing with some guy with strange bleached hair – actually the colour was somewhere in between yellow and orange – and Gaara was dancing with a short guy with spiky black hair. But these two pairs weren't the cause for Sasuke's shock.

It was Naruto. He was dancing with a guy, and he was kind of cute. He was maybe just a bit shorter than Sasuke, but he had almost the same hairstyle. He had a couple piercings and also a few tattoos on his arms. But basically, he reminded Sasuke of himself. And it was kind of weird. Plus of course he was jealous. Was Naruto trying to replace him, or was it a coincidence?

Sasuke didn't really believe in coincidences.

Suigetsu followed his stare, "Huh, that guy looks kinda like you," he said.

Not helping…

But when the guy turned around and they got a good glimpse of his face he added, "Oh, never mind, you're prettier," he caressed his cheek softly with the back of his hand, and leaned in for a kiss.

Sasuke made a little smile, and then continued making out with him, quite passionately at that.

And then he made another mistake when he looked at Naruto again.

He was making out with the tattoo and piercings guy.

"Okay your roommate is definitely not straight," Suigetsu said.

"Guess not…" Sasuke whispered.

He couldn't take his eyes off him. Even when Suigetsu called his name softly and tried to get his attention, he was still staring intensely at Naruto making out with… that guy. He didn't like it. The jealousy was burning him. All these years, he had wanted to kiss Naruto. He had wanted nothing more but to hold him and kiss him. And now some guy… some complete stranger… was having that privilege. It simply wasn't fair.

"Let's go outside," Suigetsu eventually suggested.

He took his hand and led him out, because Sasuke was apparently frozen on the dance floor.

When he got out of his daze – the cold wind helping – he looked up at Suigetsu.

"I'm so sorry," he said in a little voice.

"Hey, don't worry about it," Suigetsu smiled, and, seeing that he was cold, he wrapped his arms around him.

"It's just weird, you know?" he whispered.

"I understand. All this time, you thought he was straight."

"And I liked him, but I couldn't tell him, because of that, but now…"

"You told me you moved on..." Suigetsu pulled away slightly, but he kept his arms around him.

Sasuke frowned, and, the alcohol not helping, he felt himself getting emotional. It was so unlike him, but he couldn't help it. The recent events… it was just too much, and he'd had such a long day because of that photo shoot, and he was just so tired.

He wrapped his arms around Suigetsu as well and he pulled him close again.

Suigetsu kissed his hair, and then his neck.

"I don't want to lose you, Sasuke," he whispered in his ear.

The raven frowned, and buried his face in Suigetsu's neck.

"I'm not going anywhere."

Suigetsu slowly pulled away again. He locked eyes with him. Then he frowned and reached with his fingers to wipe his tears.

"But you still have feelings for him?"

"I…"

"Shh it's okay," he shook his head slightly, "you don't have to answer. It's hard sometimes to move on, it takes time. I understand, even though it's hard for me to see you look at him… the way I wish you would look at me…"

Sasuke looked down, and a few more tears rolled down his cheeks.

Suigetsu made a sad smile, "Baby, why are you crying?"

"I don't know," he chuckled, and wiped his tears nervously. He tried to pull away, but Suigetsu kept his arms around him. "I don't know," he repeated, "maybe I'm just drunk, and tired."

"You wanna go to my place?" Suigetsu asked softly.

"But we barely got here… and what about all your friends, the staff party night… you were really excited about it…"

Suigetsu quieted him with a kiss.

"Don't worry about it. You're the most important person to me right now, you know that?"

Sasuke didn't know what to say. He was slowly getting used to sweet, loving talk like that with Suigetsu, but it was still so foreign to him. It felt good to be told such things, but at the same time, he wasn't sure he deserved it.

"Let's get our coats and go," Suigetsu said as he led them back inside.

After getting their coats at the check room, Suigetsu went to say bye to a couple of friends, while Sasuke stayed near the entrance. When the silver-haired guy came back, he asked him if he wanted to say good night to his friends.

"No," he shook his head.

"All right," Suigetsu nodded and put his arm around him comfortingly as they walked outside.

Later, at Suigetsu's place, they were just relaxing and lying down on the sofa bed, like they often did.

"Can you make that drink… the hot, strong one..."

"With tea?"

"Yeah," Sasuke nodded.

"Ah, that's right, you really liked that drink," Suigetsu smiled.

He jumped up and went to the kitchen. Sasuke placed the pillows against the wall and sat against it.

"My friend Saito was so drunk," Suigetsu laughed, "he was stealing other people's shots at the bar. He's probably getting kicked out as we speak."

"Who's Saito again?" Sasuke asked.

"Sasuke! Come on, I introduced you to him the other day, at my restaurant, remember?" he glanced at him before continuing his preparations in the kitchen.

"Oh, him…"

Those two words were sort of a lie. Sasuke didn't remember him at all, whoever he was. He had never had much friends, or people in his life, at all. He was having trouble keeping up with all of Suigetsu's friends and acquaintances.

"And I was surprised to see Jugo come out tonight. That guy never goes out, I swear! But tonight he was courageous enough to show up, and I admired him for that. I hope he's having fun."

"Who's… Jugo again?"

"I'm gonna forgive you for that one cause you've never actually seen him. Well, you saw him on pictures, remember? When I showed you some of my high school pics. He was my best friend back then."

"Oh, right…"

Another lie. Suigetsu brought the two drinks. And he saw through his lie.

"You don't remember, do you?"

"I'm just not good with names," Sasuke said apologetically.

"You're lucky you're so cute," Suigetsu smiled, "I can never be mad at you."

"You should," he sighed, "I shouldn't have stared at Naruto like that."

"You were surprised," Suigetsu shrugged.

He took a sip from his drink, and then put it back on the table. Sasuke did likewise. The silence lingered a little, but the atmosphere between them wasn't tense, and Sasuke was glad. If there was one thing he would've hated in a relationship, it was drama. He was glad Suigetsu wasn't a big fan of drama either.

The silver-haired guy finally broke the silence. "Was Naruto your best friend in high school?"

"Yeah," Sasuke nodded, "we kind of hated each other at first. But then… we kind of… grew on each other I guess. And two years ago we decided to move in together. He lost his grandfather, and his grandmother is really sick, so… And I was also on my own, so it seemed like the right thing to do."

"When did you realize that you… liked him, as more than a friend?"

"We don't have to talk about this," Sasuke glanced away.

Suigetsu cupped his chin, and waited until he looked up into his eyes.

"I know. But I want you to know that you can talk to me, about anything, okay? Sasuke I…"

He kissed him softly, then said, "I love you, so much…"

Sasuke moved away, and frowned. He was… kind of scared.

"You can't say that. Take it back."

Suigetsu raised a brow, and chuckled, "I wasn't expecting you to say it back. I mean I know it's soon but, it's how I feel. Hey no big deal. Don't be… don't be scared."

"You don't even know me…"

"Well I'm beginning to know you," Suigetsu said defensively, "and I really do want to get to know you better. That's why I want you to talk to me."

Sasuke wasn't feeling so well all of a sudden. He felt like all of this was wrong, and fake. He felt like it couldn't be happening. A boyfriend. Right. Who was he kidding? He couldn't be in a relationship…

"You want to know more about me?" he asked.

His heart was beating really fast, and he was really starting to feel sick. Suigetsu frowned, and reached out to take his hand. But Sasuke pulled it back.

"Of course I do," Suigetsu said.

"Just type my name in google then. Uchiha. Go ahead."

"Sasuke I don't want to learn more about you by looking it up on google," he frowned.

"When I was… sixteen years old… I…"

"What is it?"

He didn't think before speaking up. Perhaps he should've, because he regretted the words as soon as they came out.

"I killed my own brother…"

Suigetsu parted his lips, but no sound came out. He was shocked, but Sasuke couldn't blame him. Why the hell had he said that?

He picked up his jacket and left the small apartment, just like that, without any explanation. He felt like total shit.

But Suigetsu… he had no idea what he was talking about. Saying he loved him like that, it just didn't make any sense.

He walked all the way home, with his hands shoved in his pocket and constantly shivering from the cold. Fucking winter approaching… Everything was pissing him off at the moment. Occasional people passing him by in the streets were bugging him for absolutely no reason. He supposed the truth was he was probably just angry at himself for what he had done.

When he finally got home, all he wanted was to lock himself up in his bedroom and sleep for a really long time…

But he looked up and saw Naruto, on the couch, making out with that raven-haired guy from the club.

"On the couch, really," he said angrily, "couldn't you go to your bedroom at least?"

He shook his head in disbelief and stormed back out. As he reached the sidewalk, he stopped and turned around when he heard his name.

Naruto had followed him outside.

"Where are you going?" he exclaimed.

"Away from you…" he glanced away.

"Sasuke…" Naruto started.

He was searching his words. Clearly he was more than a little drunk at this point.

"Just go back in there and… continue what you were doing. I'll figure it out."

He started walking again but Naruto followed him, and grabbed his arm.

"Wait! What do you mean you'll figure it out? You just got back from Suigetsu's place right? And you looked angry and tired so… if you're not going back there, where are you going?"

"I don't know, Naruto, why do you care? Just go back to your new fuck buddy. It's a guy, by the way, in case you're too drunk to notice. Or maybe you're gay now, and you didn't tell me, which is kind of hypocritical, since you told me a few weeks ago that you were pissed at me for not telling you before…"

"I don't know, okay? I don't know!"

He was practically yelling, and his blue eyes were teary. Sasuke sighed, he didn't like seeing him like this. Naruto had always been so strong. He had always been his anchor in the world. Lately, he was always getting drunk, and he seemed so confused. Sasuke knew that Naruto felt like his life was falling apart, but he didn't know how to help him.

"I don't know," Naruto said again, this time quietly, "if I'm straight, bi, or whatever, I just don't know anymore. And I know it's fucking pathetic, cause I'm 21, and I should know, but… I just don't. I've never actually been with a guy, I mean, I've never gone all the way, and you know what? Thanks, for stopping me tonight, cause I think I would've regretted it, if I'd fucked him. So thank you. I'm gonna tell him to leave now, and please, please, just come home with me. I wanna talk to you, I wanna spend time with you, I want it to be like… like it used to be between us."

The whole time Sasuke looked him straight in the eye, and Naruto seemed so sincere. They had unconsciously stepped closer towards each other.

Finally Sasuke said, "First of all, you're not pathetic for being confused, tons of people are, whatever their age. And secondly... I'm glad I stopped you too. And third…"

"What's third?" Naruto chuckled.

"You really need to stop drinking so much."

Sasuke looked at his smile, this beautiful smile he loved so much. His lips were full, and perfect, and so kissable. And then he looked at his eyes, his eyes so, so blue. God he could feel himself drown in those. Slowly, almost carefully, Naruto reached up with his hand to caress his hair. He did this often, it wasn't a big deal. Except this time it was different. It wasn't just the friendly ruffling. It was… a real caress, a soft, tender touch. Sasuke stopped breathing. His heart skipped a beat.

Naruto kissed him.

It was brief, it was so, so soft, but also full of contained emotion. Sasuke found his breath again – thankfully, because he was starting to feel a little faint. He looked up into Naruto's eyes questioningly, and then again at his lips. He reached up with his arm to imitate Naruto's action, and he caressed his messy blond locks. And they kissed again. This time it was passionate, and so intense. Sasuke didn't want it to end. And it seemed Naruto shared his feelings, because he was holding him so close, and so tightly.

Naruto was dominating the kiss, and Sasuke let him. He was exploring his mouth with his tongue, and then playfully pulling away, only to kiss his lips passionately over, and over again. Sasuke could actually feel his lips becoming a little bruised, but he didn't care. He wanted more, he couldn't get enough. And he sure didn't mind a little pain…

Actually at some point Naruto bit his lip a little too hard.

"I'm sorry," the blond whispered.

"No," Sasuke breathed, "I like it," he pressed his lips against Naruto's once more.

After a few more minutes they heard someone clear their throat.

"I'm just gonna go…"

They stepped away from each other, as though waking up from a dream. It was the guy Naruto had met at the club.

"I'm sorry," Naruto said.

"Yeah whatever…"

He walked away. Sasuke didn't even try to pretend that he cared.

Naruto cleared his throat nervously, then scratched his hair, and glanced away.

"Let's go inside," he finally said, and Sasuke nodded and followed him.

There was a long silence. Sasuke went in the kitchen to get a glass of water, and he got one for Naruto as well. Then he returned to the living room, where Naruto was sitting.

"Sorry about kissing you," Naruto said.

"Why do you apologize?" Sasuke chuckled, "I kissed back, in case you didn't notice…"

"Oh I noticed," Naruto made a little smile, "I never thought you were such a good kisser. And I must say, a good dancer too. I was watching you at the club."

"But… why would you say that? I mean, you never thought…?" he frowned slightly.

"I don't know. You always seemed so… stuck up. But tonight I discovered a new side of you."

"Oh…" he drank some water and glanced away.

He had been dreaming for so long to have such a conversation with Naruto. But now, he wasn't sure anymore if it felt right.

"And I like it," Naruto added.

"Look, Naruto, you're drunk. We should talk tomorrow."

The blond's smile disappeared, and he nodded slowly.

"Yeah, maybe you're right, and I mean, you're with Suigetsu, so…"

Sasuke frowned. Was Naruto actually implying that he was considering… being with him? This whole situation seemed so… surreal.

"Naruto you're straight. You've got girl porn magazines all over your bedroom. You've always been obsessed with women. You just broke up with Sakura, whom you thought was the love of your life. And what about that girl from your work, I can't remember her name."

"Rima," Naruto whispered.

"Right."

"Nah it would never work."

"Why not?"

Naruto shrugged, and looked down.

"Jiraiya gave me the porn," he chuckled, "and he always encouraged me… But lately I realized… I'm definitely attracted to… men. I just never wanted to admit it to myself before. I thought…"

"What?" Sasuke whispered.

Naruto looked up at him, "I thought that maybe I was straight but, I could still appreciate like, a guy's… beauty, attractiveness, call it whatever you want."

Sasuke didn't know what to say. He just sat still and remained quiet. Yes, he had dreamed for this moment to happen, but he had never thought that it could actually be real. He had always thought that… well, it would be nothing more than a dream.

"Like, I think you're really cute," Naruto said.

Sasuke's eyes widened, and he looked up. Okay, was this actually happening?

Apparently yes. And Naruto had just gotten up, and he stepped closer, so that he was standing right in front of him. He took his hands, and pulled him up too.

"I mean it would help if you ate some food once in a while…"

"I eat just fine," he whispered, making Naruto laugh softly.

He then brushed his bangs behind his ears.

"Now I can see your face. It's a shame to always hide it, really…"

Sasuke flinched. This was so similar to what Suigetsu always said when he placed his hair behind his ears like that.

"What is it?" Naruto whispered as he leaned closer.

Sasuke took a step back, and removed his hands from Naruto's grasp.

"You're drunk…"

"I'm not that drunk…"

"Yes you are. And, I mean," he glanced away, and his bangs fell into his eyes again, "whatever happened to, even if I were into guys, you wouldn't be my type?"

"That was a big, fat lie," Naruto chuckled, and he leaned closer again. "I said that the time you took a shower with me sitting on the bathroom floor, right? If you want to know the truth, I was staring the whole time…"

"Pervert," Sasuke breathed.

"Hmm you like it," the blond smirked.

He kissed him, but Sasuke pushed him away softly.

"We should… go to sleep, and talk tomorrow. We're both tired, and you're drunk, and…"

"It's because of Suigetsu, isn't it?" Naruto said sadly, "You're with him now. I knew it, the first time I saw him at the restaurant. I knew, in the bottom of my heart, that he would steal you from me."

"Naruto you're not making any sense, you're drunk…"

"Stop saying that!" he pleaded, "Please, stop. I know I drank too much. I always fucking drink too much. But… what I was trying to say is… would things be different if I had realized this sooner? If you weren't with Suigetsu yet?"

"I don't know," he whispered, "I need… I need to get some sleep."

He went to his bedroom and Naruto didn't stop him. This was so fucked up…

He really was exhausted, so it didn't take long before he fell asleep. But he made some really fucked up dreams. Actually he dreamed about his family, more specifically his brother. Maybe because of what he had told Suigetsu…

He woke up early in the morning, totally freaking out. He had just relived images of his parents' death, and then his brother's death… And then, he had also dreamed about the moment when he had found out that his brother hadn't actually been responsible for their parents' death – others had made him do it. An underground and illegal organization. And his brother had done it to save Sasuke's life, because if any of the other guys had done the job, he would've killed Sasuke as well.

His life had been a total mess back then. Basically, at sixteen years old, he had killed his brother, he had shot him, and of course it had been established as self-defense. But after that he had learned about the organization, and everything that they had done. They had destroyed his family completely. And he had killed his brother like some blind fucking fool who hadn't been able to see through it…

The dreams had been intense, and it had been a while since he'd had dreams like that. He was crying when he woke up. He wiped his tears and got up, unable to find sleep again – even though he really needed it.

He felt sick. He quickly put on some boxers and went to the bathroom and threw up in the toilet. When he looked up, he saw that Naruto was standing in the doorway, also wearing only boxers, and clutching his stomach. He looked kind of pale.

Sasuke quickly got up.

"It's all yours."

Naruto threw up while Sasuke brushed his teeth. And after that they looked at each other and… just burst out laughing. They couldn't stop, for some reason they were finding the situation hilarious.

"We're fucking pathetic aren't we?" Naruto said once he was able to talk through his laughter.

"Yeah, I guess we are…"

"No photoshoot today?"

"Nope. You? No work today?"

"I think I'm gonna call in sick."

Sasuke laughed again, "They're gonna fire you."

"I hate that fucking job anyway. But I really wanted to pay you back. I mean I'll be able to pay the rent for this month at least but…"

"Hey, don't worry about it," Sasuke shook his head, "you'll pay me back when you find a decent job all right?"

"Actually I…" Naruto got up carefully, and leaned against the wall, "I decided to go back to school. In January. If I can afford it, anyway… But I visited Tsunade the other day, and she really encouraged me. She said Jiraiya and her had left some money for me, in case I decided to go back to school."

"That's great," Sasuke smiled.

"Yeah… I think I'm gonna try to go in social work..."

"Well you're good at helping people, so you should," he nodded.

He stepped aside so that Naruto could have access to the sink. He brushed his teeth as well, and then he returned to his bedroom. But he motioned for Sasuke to follow him.

They sat on the ridiculous bright orange bed together. Naruto sat against the wall and he patted the space beside him. Sasuke hesitated, and then went to sit there. He took one of Naruto's pillows and clutched it in his arms.

"How's the hangover?" he eventually asked.

"I still feel a bit sick," Naruto made a face, "but I guess I had it coming. I was so fucking drunk…"

"That's what I was trying to tell you," Sasuke chuckled.

"Really? I don't remember that," Naruto laughed.

Sasuke's eyes widened as he looked at him. Naruto went quiet.

"What is it?"

"What… do you remember exactly?"

"Not much," Naruto shook his head, "Suigetsu's friends kept giving us shooters… And Sai and Gaara bought me so many drinks… especially Sai. And… I think I danced with a guy," he laughed and shrugged, "I mean I was drunk."

Sasuke's heart sank. Everything that had happened. Every word they had exchanged. Every kiss… Naruto had forgotten everything. He owed this moment, the moment he had dreamed about for so long… he owed it all to fucking shooters and cocktails then. Because this Naruto – the sober one – didn't remember a damn thing.

He glanced away. He felt really weak, and sick, and tired… He felt so emotional recently. And having dreamt of the horrors his family had been through… it just really didn't help. And now this… Naruto didn't remember… not a thing…

"Hey, what is it?" Naruto frowned, "Are you… are you crying?"

"No, I," he wiped his eyes, "I'm just… I guess I'm still tired… and feeling sick too."

"Were you drunk too? I think I never saw you really drunk. Hey don't cry… Seriously tell me what's up," Naruto said softly, "did you have a fight with Suigetsu or something? Is that why you didn't sleep at his place?"

"Yeah, actually…"

Well, it wasn't exactly a lie.

"What happened?"

Sasuke glanced at him sideways.

"I, hum… I told him… about my brother."

"Oh…" Naruto frowned, "the whole story?"

His voice was so soft. He was so caring. It really didn't help… Somehow it made him feel like crying even more.

But he swallowed his tears. He let out a shaky sigh, and tried to calm down.

"No," he answered, "I just told him that… I… you know..."

It was still hard for him to talk about this. Despite his being calm, a few tears rolled down his cheeks. He wiped them off quickly.

"And tonight, I dreamed about that, so… that's why I'm not feeling... so good."

"Well that's understandable," Naruto said sadly, "come here."

Naruto softly pulled him into his arms. There was a pillow and a part of the sheets separating their bodies, but Naruto's arms were still wrapped around his chest, and Sasuke rested his head against his strong shoulder. It felt nice. But again there was this sad feeling deep inside his heart. This sad feeling that they had lost something important. Lost in Naruto's drunken memories.

"Naruto?"

"Hmm?"

"When you have… black outs, because you drink too much…"

"Yeah?"

"Do you… usually remember everything later or…?"

"It depends. Sometimes I remember, sometimes it just never comes back."

"You should really stop drinking so much you fucking idiot you know that?"

"I know," he chuckled quietly, "I know…"

"You know but you keep doing it."

"Maybe I'll stop. Maybe you have to help me."

"Help you? How?"

"Like when I helped you quit smoking."

"You destroyed all my cigarettes whenever I bought a pack," he chuckled.

"You laugh now but back then you wanted to kill me."

"Yeah well they're expensive."

"Alcohol is expensive too."

"I'll donate your beers to Kiba."

"You have to stop me from going out. You have to convince me to stay home."

"How the hell am I supposed to do that?"

Naruto chuckled again, "Did you consider… just asking me?"

"…Will you stay home next weekend? Friday night, and Saturday night?"

"Will you stay home with me?" Naruto asked, tightening his hold around Sasuke.

"Yeah. We can watch movies."

"Okay. Will you let me read your story?"

"…Fine."

"Then we have a deal."

Naruto nuzzled his hair with his face. It felt like that was what he was doing, anyway. Sasuke frowned slightly, and tried to pull away, but Naruto tightened his hold again.

This was all really confusing. Naruto was acting… pretty gay.

"Naruto?"

"What?"

Since he couldn't move away, he at least turned his head so that he could look into his eyes.

"Are you sure you don't remember what happened last night?"

Naruto frowned, and suddenly he seemed to become aware of their situation and their… position and almost nakedness. They pulled away from each other, but Naruto's eyes didn't leave Sasuke's. He was staring at him very intensely, and still frowning.

"We kissed…"

A/N:

Sorry about the cliffhanger, I know those aren't cool. But hey, I update fast :P

Okay, so what happened to Sasuke in this story is basically a real life version of what happened in the manga. I didn't want to make it too complex or elaborate too much. But, there will be some more explanations in the next chapter.

I hope you liked it, don't forget to leave me a review^^
