Hi, so this is the fourth, and last (yay!!!) chapter!
I had some problems with the story, because, well, I didn´t know what to write, but I like how this last one turned out, so let me know what you think.
Hope you like it…

"S-sasuke?...", Naruto asked again, when he didn´t get an answer the first time.
Sasuke couldn't get any words out of his mouth for what seemed like hours, it was really hard for him to take in what was in front of his eyes. Naruto Usumaki was standing right there, just a few feet away from him, exactly like he remembered him, except for a few cuts and bruises here and there; and, now that he noticed, the little fox looked really tired, fatigued, and rather ill, which made Sasuke finally step out of his daze.
"Naruto" he said in a barely audible tone "what a-…" Sasuke forgot what he was about to say when he saw the other boy flinch, and almost fall to the ground.
"Sa-sasuke, I found you, I f-……….." Naruto tried to walk further into the cave, so he could get closer to his friend, but as soon as he took his first step, he could only see white, and then he lost consciousness.
Sasuke was really fast, and managed to catch Naruto before he hit the ground; he was cold, white and much thinner than he´s supposed to be.
Even if he was incredibly worried about his friend, Sasuke couldn't help but feel a little happy about having him in his arms like that; so defenseless, like a puppy.
It was more than obvious that Naruto had been traveling, without eating or resting properly, for a few days. And when Sasuke thought about this, he started wondering if it had all been just to find him, because, if it had, then that would mean that Naruto cared about him A LOT!, and he couldn´t be happier about it.
After he finally stopped looking at Naruto, completely dazzled by he´s feeling for the little fox, Sasuke decided he would take care of him for a while, as (luckily) there was no one else to do so.
-----------------------------
One entire day had gone by, and Naruto finally began to wake up. He started blinking, and turned his head to the side, just to try to figure out where he was; and, when he saw the cave walls all around, and Sasuke seating down near him, he remembered that his journey to find the other boy had finally ended.
Naruto was more than happy; he couldn't believe that he was so close to him, to the one he had missed so much, the one he never wanted to live without. He didn´t notice how long he´d been staring, so it took him a while to react when Sasuke saw him and started coming closer.
"Finally" Sasuke said with a smirk "you´ve been asleep for about a day" he sat down right next to Naruto´s head and gave him some water "I was starting to think you would die" at these words, Sasukes face turned a little weird, like he was relieved that hadn´t happened "so why are you here anyways?" he asked with a bit of an awkward tone.
Naruto finished his water and sat up, gathering as much courage as he could to tell Sasuke what he had come for "w-well I" he paused a few seconds to try to stop the blush that was spreading through his face, which didn´t stop "I- came f-for you…" both of them stayed quiet for what seemed like a really long time, and Naruto was wondering what his friend was thinking.
………
Sasuke was staring in disbelief; he had gotten the answer he was hoping for, but the possibilities of it actually happening had been, in his opinion, lower than 20%; and yet, it had happened, Naruto had actually said that he had come all this way for him, and by himself, which was the most surprising thing.
He didn´t know what to say, but, as he noticed Naruto was waiting for him to say something, he made up his mind quickly, he wasn´t going to lose this chance, he had to confess his feelings and find out if Naruto felt the same way "so, you came all this way JUST for me?" he asked playfully.
Naruto went completely red and looked down as he answered "w-well, I- yeah…" and he kept his eyes on a particularly interesting pebble, which happened to be in the floor next to his hand.
They stayed quiet again.
It was becoming unbearable for Naruto to sit there waiting for Sasuke to laugh in his face and call him a weirdo, or worse, but he had to get his feelings out; so he decided to say exactly what he felt, and, just as he was about to rise his head and confront the guy, Sasuke, without any kind of warning, just launched forward and kissed Naruto, who went incredibly stiff and cold, at the sudden action.
They stayed like this for a really long time; Sasuke, who was practically on top of Naruto, started to panic. He had had a sudden impulse to show his feelings to the other boy, but what if it had been a mistake? What if Naruto didn´t like it? What if the only reason he had come to get him was because Sakura and Kakashi had asked him to do so?...
Because Sasuke was lost in his thoughts, he failed to notice that Naruto was no longer stiff, so it was incredibly shocking when he felt him actually kiss back (just a little), and then tremble a bit, maybe because he was embarrassed or something, Sasuke guessed, and then pulled his head back to see a red faced Naruto staring at him.
"I-I d- you kissed me, er- I-" Naruto was having a really hard time finding the right words to say, so he just said "why?" and decided to look at the pebble again, but he couldn't find it, so he settled for a dry leaf that the wind had probably blown in.
Sasuke didn´t have many options, he had to answer the question, he had no other choice but to confess his feelings, so he gulped, decided that nothing else mattered, and said "because I love you and I wanted you to know" he had already gone this far, and the little fox didn´t seem to be upset, so he might as well go on "and I also wanted to know if you feel the same way about me, because I think you do" now he just had to wait and see what would happen.
Naruto was just speechless, he had day dreamed about this scene so many times during his journey, and it was actually coming true this very second "I-I-I do, I d-" he didn´t get to finish that last word, as his impatient friend had just thrown himself over him and began kissing him like there was no tomorrow.
………
After a while, they stopped and Sasuke sat down and took Naruto in his arms to keep him warm, as the weather was getting colder by the minute, then he said "stay with me" and he hugged the other one tighter.
"Fine" was Naruto´s reply, and then he fell asleep in Sasuke´s arms, happier than he had ever been in his life.
