Naruto What Are You Thinking?

They began their talk, but it was more like Sasuke talked and Naruto just sat quietly. The now mature blonde, still sitting on the bed with his best friend, pulled his knees to his chest and stared at the bedspread. Trying his best to avoid eye contact and drifting into his own conversation within himself. Questioning his friendship with Sasuke, the nature of his respect and bond with him, and much more.

"Naruto...", Sasuke called out to him. "Na Na.." He reached out his hand to gently touch Naruto's knee. His touch along with a simple 'Na Na', had brought Naruto back to the conversation he was supposed to be having with Sasuke.

"You know I hate when you call me that. Besides you promised that you'd stop."

"You hate when I call you what?"

"You know what. I hate when you call me Na Na."

"Oh that." Sasuke smirked. "Well I like calling you that. And as I recall I promised that I'd stop saying it in 'PUBLIC'."

Naruto just sat quietly once again. "Naruto-kun... are you ok? We're supposed to be talking and trying to figure this out, but you haven't said a thing since I started speaking." Naruto looked up at him, the same teary eyed boy from before. The only difference was that this time his tears had yet to fall. "Im fine. I just don't feel to well right now. But okay, I'll pay attention please continue..."

Just then they heard the front door open and close, followed soon after by a familiar voice. "Sorry to be a drag Mr. Uzumaki, but your son and I got our text books mixed up." They heard a hearty laugh then, "He's upstairs, go on up."

The unexpected guest did as he was told, and soon found Naruto and Sasuke in the knuckle heads' room. "Yea, this sight doesn't surprise me at all. Here," he said tossing the book onto the bed, "can I have mine?" The two boys on the bed looked up. "Oi` Shikamaru. The least you can do is say hello." Shikamaru just tilted his head back, "tsk, why should I. Clearly this isn't a hang out session." He looked over at Sasuke and Naruto tossed his text book at Shika. "Baka, here. See ya' tomorrow." And with that the lazy shurker left.

A musical tone startled them. The black haired boy looked at his cell phone and spoke, "Itachi just sent me a text and said I'm needed at home. Hmph, that Shikamaru interrupted our talk. Sorry we'll have to finish tomorrow." He stood up and looked down at Naruto and sighed, leaving out the room, down the stairs, and out the front door.

Naruto lay in his bed that night, eyes closed, just thinking:

*Why did he have to kiss me?*

*Why did Shikamaru and Kiba have to bring all of this stuff up?*

*This wouldn't have happened if they kept their mouths shut.*

*Why am I so affected suddenly?*

*He kissed me, and I liked it, well I think I did... ggaahh I really don't know.*

*But I told him I liked it, and I wasn't thinking when i answered.*

He looks over to his bed side table and checks the time.

*Great, it's One AM. I haven't been able to fall asleep.*

He sighs and turns over on his side. Recalling the last time Sasuke has spent the night. They were high schoolers now, but still had frequent sleep overs. And still, his bestie would have nightmares and still climb into bed with Naruto. He remembered the feeling he had been given, as Sasuke wrapped his arms around Naruto in his sleep, pressing his body close to him. They both slept on their sides, and when Sasuke held him, he had Naruto's head against his chest. Naruto had awoken the moment Sasuke entered his bed, so in response to his friend, he hid his face within the pale boys chest. Encasing him in his own arms.

Awaking the next day in a familiar pose with one another, never thinking twice about it. "Naruto, you always seems to make my bad dreams disappear. Thank you."

*That's what Sasuke said to me. Being able to comfort him when he needed me. Even then it was so natural. But caring about him, comforting him, wanting him safe and to be there for him... it doesn't mean i have feelings that go farther than friends, do they?*
