Oh noz!

I havent updated in forever... oops

I always say I will then I don't

Whoopsies!

Anyway, I kind of got off track so this chapter may seem a little awkward :D

yup.

There was not much to do. Naruto was wallowing in a sea of self pity and depression. He needed to get out, and swim to the safe shore. He knew that it required a bit of pain and healing in the proccess. He wanted to hurt, actually, he wanted to feel the pain and sorrow, just because. It seemed nice. Maybe. He would probably regret it later. As for now, all he could do was take out a box of chocolates and indulge in them as he thought about Sasuke. His one his only. The man who treated him so nicely, so perfectly. The man with the alabaster skin and obsidian hair. The man who was always kind and generous and was definitely protective of his little Naruto.

Bah! It all seemed so worthless now. He had left Naruto and wont even tell him why. Naruto knew he should be angry and so depressed, but actually this was making him laugh. It was a bit strange, but who cared. Sasuke obviously did not. Yes, he could just blame it on that cruel sadistic creature. He was no longer man to Naruto, just a creature, a being that was taking up space. Well maybe he was being harsh. He still loved him, but he hated his guts. It was too complicated for him to explain. Sasuke was just in his mind, and there was nothing he could do about it. The memories just flooded in. Naruto remembered the first date they had.

"So," Sasuke gestured towards the building, "want to eat here?"

"Hmm... OK!" Naruto screamed giddily. They were not just going to any restuarant, they were going to the best top-notch one in the whole region. However, it was very expensive.

They walked past the rows of shrubbery and fantastically cut trees. One could have stayed in the walkway staring at the beauty of all the nature for hours, but they did not have that kind of time. Sasuke opened the large overbearing door for Naruto, a small gesture of chivalry that would not go unnoticed. The host smiled at them and greeted them with an overexaggerated sense of cheer.

"How many in your party?" The platinum blonde asked with pearly white teeth.

"Two." Sasuke said straight-forwardly.

"Follow me." She grabbed two menus and lead them to a table while constantly sharing glances with someone across the room.

"Here you are." She set the two menus down and walked back towards the entrance.

They sat down, and opened the menus. Well the font was definitely impossible to read. Sasuke rolled his eyes, fancy writing does not make the food fancier. He just hoped things would not be as awkward as when he asked Naruto out. Naruto was barely able to force out words, besides getting over his rosy cheeks, and the fact he could not pick up his gaze. He probably would have sat there in embarassment like a dobe all day, Sasuke thought.

Naruto just felt nervous and anxious. He had a habit of making himself look like a total idiot, which he was trying to avoid tonight. He finally got to talk to the guy he was secretly gazing at all the time, and now he was on a date with him. It was a bit of an overload. He just had to watch his movements, and think about what he was going to say before he said it. He was going to sound like an intelligent and responsible adult!

After a long while of staring at the menu, there was an awkward silence. It was the kind where they both knew they were done ordering but were pretending to still be making a tough decision in their head. The plastic coverings shined glossily in the low lighting. A low lighting, romantic, but enough to see clearly.

Finally Sasuke broke the ice, "Is someone going to take our order anytime soon?" Well maybe it was breaking the ice.

Right then, a woman wearing a nice white collared shirt, a tie, and black slacks came up.

"Hello, I am Sakura, and I will be your waitress for today." She pulled out a pad and pencil. Her cherry blossom hair shined.

"Can I get you something to drink?" She asked.

"I'll have a water." Sasuke said blandly

"And you?" Sakura stared at Naruto. Maybe a little menacingly, maybe.

"Uhm, a raspberry iced tea."

They both stared at him for a moment both filled with shock and laughter.

"O-okay. They will be right out." Sakura left biting her lip.

Sasuke put his head in his hands. He sat there quiet for a minute, and Naruto was getting a little worried. The silence ensued.

"Are you okay?" Naruto asked

"Raspberry iced tea?"

"What about it?"

"Are you trying to keep the gay stereotypes. Jesus." Sasuke nearly did a headdesk.

"I am sorry." Naruto fidgeted.

"Nevermind, its ok."

They sat in silence again until Sakura came out. She sat the drinks down in their appropriate places.

"Can I get you an appetizer?" Sakura asked because she had to.

"No." Sasuke said.

"Are you ready to order?"

"Yes, We will have the lobster." Sakura wrote this down on her paper.

"Lobster?" Naruto lifted an eyebrow.

"Yes, is that a problem?" Sasuke asked even though he did not care.

"No, I just never had lobster before."

Sasuke stared at him again. He really was poor. He could not even afford one of the "lesser" things that Sasuke enjoyed. Was lobster really that expensive?

"It will be out soon." Sakura left quickly.

They sat in silence for a couple of minutes. Naruto slowly lifted his gaze to meet Sasuke's eyes staring at him. He quickly looked away. This was awkward. It was an obvious situation of dominance and submission. To Naruto, Sasuke seemed even a little scary. What he did not know was that Sasuke was giving him as much of a soft look as he could.

Sasuke had noticed the quick eye avoidance. It bothered him a lot. He was trying to seem warm, but it was obviously not working. That Naruto was too shy and submissive to even look at a hair Sasuke may have left behind. Ugh, what a dobe. Naruto was not complying to his actions. He was trying really hard, but it was worth it. The little blonde was so damn cute.

"You know the food wont be out for another twenty minutes, and it will be too boring to not talk." Sasuke gazed past the hair covering Naruto's eyes.

"What do you want to talk about?" Naruto tried to muster up a good enough question to start a conversation. Unfortunately, this question sucked.

Sasuke rolled his eyes, "I do not know. Have you ever been to that bookstore downtown?"

"Yeah, I go there all the time!" Naruto's eyes lit up.

Sasuke was surprised to see such a reaction, "Do you know the workers?"

"Yeah. We all know each other. I know the owners personally."

"Oh, how so?"

"Well Iruka used to babysit me when I was younger, and Kakashi...well, things."

"...Oh I see."

"Yeah."

They both just looked about the room for their own reasons. A good conversation material would have to wait for when they had their food.

Sakura came out with a tray of food, and sat it on the table.

"Here is the lobster, enjoy your meal." She walked off, but quickly gave Naruto a stern look.

Sasuke grabbed some lobster and ate it. Naruto just picked at it, and poked it. It looked strange. Sasuke rolled his eyes, put some lobster on his fork, and held it in front of Naruto's face. Naruto looked at Sasuke. Sasuke gestured Naruto to open his mouth. Naruto slowly opened his jaws, and a peice of lobster was shoved in. He closed his mouth and held the fork in place. Sasuke pulled on the fork, and scoffed. The dobe was being a, well, dobe.

"Let go Naruto."

Naruto shook his head, and let out a small grin.

"Let go."

Naruto kept his bite in place.

Sasuke sighed, and yanked the fork out, and ended up stabing himself in the face. Naruto let out a small laugh. Sasuke glared at him, and rubbed the stabbed area. He now had noticeable red squares on his pale face. Now he remembered why he did not like dating, they gave you blemishes. His mom always gave him crap for being alone, and not getting a girl. Little did she know he was gay. Now he would be a gay loner.

Naruto now realized that Sasuke really did not think stabbing himself was funny so he quieted down. He poked at the lobster, and nibbled at it. It was ok, but he did not really care about it.

"Sooo."

"...so"

"How is your water?"

"Fine."

"Oh."

"Yup."

Naruto looked around, and started giggling.

"What are you giggling about?"

"Nothing."

"Naruto."

"I was imagining you in a frilly dress."

"WHAT!"

Naruto burst out laughing, and people started to stare.

"Quiet down Naruto."

Naruto stifled his laughter, and fidgeted in his seat. Sasuke just sighed. Finally, the lobster was gone, and Sakura gave them the bill. Sasuke paid, and they got out of there.

Quietly, they walked by the canal and stared at the dark reflection. They stood on the caublestone walkway, and stared deep into the water. A slight breeze blew against them. The air was warm. Sasuke moved his hand, and grabbed Naruto's. Naruto was shocked by the sudden contact, and felt a little awkard, but slowly melted into his grasp. Leaves danced in the air, and landed on the water. The leaves caused a ripple in the water, and the memory rippled out.

Naruto noticed himself at the canal. He did not know when he got there. He almost felt like he was still in the memory. His body was numb of sleep. He slowly walked towards his house, and thought about Sasuke. He was the best thing that happened to Naruto. Now he was gone. All he had were these memories to try and grasp what little happiness he had left. Sasuke was not even telling him why he left or where he was. He did not know wether to be angry or sad or what. He was in a bundle of an emotional mess.

He finally arrived home, but it looked a little odd. His door was wide open, and he was pretty sure, even if he was in dreamland, that he would close the door. He walked inside to see his house destroyed. Everything was a mess, and thrown about the house. He could barely walk inside. Everything looked horrible, and it was too much to bear. He just lost his love, and now he will have to clean up his house, and something was probably stolen. Only then did he notice his windows, and mirrors were broken, and someone spray painted on the walls. He looked and saw they formed letters.

It read, "He is mine now."

Phew!

That took a while, and its long enough to make up for taking forever.

I will try to update every once in a while so you guys are not dying over there.

You should review though!

Gosh.

Anyway, I will need some ideas too so you should give me some help.

Okay, bye!
