(…words…) my notes (?)

Flashbacks from the previous chapter…

"Tomorrow Sasuke will not be around at your company." Naruto started. "If you want…I will take care of his business." Mizuki waved his head. "Don't worry about it. I will be the one responsible. I'm just worried about Sasuke-sama…who will take care of him?" Mizuki spoke. "I know!...Could you take care of Sasuke-sama for me?" She said with pleading eyes. Naruto sighed. "Ok…I'll do it."

Chapter Five: Coming back (corny title…yeah but do you understand what I'm trying to say? Well find out! )

Naruto gradually plunk himself out of bed, sliding down the sheet which was covering his body from draftiness. Winter is coming again and the weather is attempting to remind it to people. As Naruto sat on the edge of his soft bed, he rubbed his eyes with the back of his right hand. Pulling out some air from his lungs, he headed for his bathroom and reached for the faucet. When the water began flowing he caught the liquid through his hands…trembling because of the sudden chillness. After washing his face with the cold water he decided to relax himself with the warmth of a shower. He twisted on the heater and waited for a moment. When heat moved across the bathroom, Naruto began stripping off his clothes. He slipped off his pajamas and followed it with his boxers. Quickly taking off the disturbing clothes, he stepped his foot into the water and settled on immersing his whole body. Naruto leaned back his head on the bath tub while slowly closing his eyes. He took bathing as a good sensation and also…a "help" to forget things that is still fresh in your mind.

After bathing…

Naruto extended his arm to get the towel which was hanging on the border of the sink. He wiped the drippings of water off his body and tied it around his lean waist. He went out of the room only to be surprised by the coldness again.

"Winter is really coming." He muttered and rubbed his arms with his hands when goose bumps appeared his delicate skin…running towards his room.

As he searched for his available clothes to wear, a small box fell from one of his jacket's pocket. He didn't notice it. When he found the right clothing he grabbed it, he stepped back and stumbled down as he accidentally stepped on the box which was currently resting on the floor.

"It---Ittai…" He grumbled while trying to stand up and turned to face the thing which caused him to hurt his back. His eyes observed the elegant navy blue box. He stood up carefully and picked it up. When he opened the box a sapphire, expensive ring made his eyes widen…his gaze never leaving the object. The world around him started crumbling down as if spinning and coming back from the past. He recalled events he insisted to forget…he tried to give away…to move on. His face saddened but no tears were formed. Though they want to flow out of the guy's eyes, the owner doesn't. Naruto then waved his head and pulled his drawer, placing the box inside it. He proceeded from changing his clothes and altered his thoughts to a happy one. Before totally departing from his house, he gripped his car keys and heaved out air. He turned the knob of his door and made his way to the parking lot. (And also…he stopped by in a store to buy medicines and food)

While driving towards the street where Sasuke's house is located, his phone vibrated while ringing. He picked it up still looking at the road (that's a good thing) and answered it.

"Uzumaki-san…I forgot to tell you this." Mizuki spoke through the phone.

"Hn?" He replied and waited for Mizuki to continue.

"Uchiha-san doesn't eat salty or sweet foods. He also doesn't drink other beverages except for alcohols and tomato juice. But of course I'm not saying you give him alcohols…just give him tomato juice, okay?"

"A tomato juice? What kind of taste buds does he have? Okay I'll stop by a store to buy one. Thanks for saying those." He replied and hanged. He turned his car to another street and parked it in front of a private store to buy a "tomato juice".

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Naruto pressed the doorbell of the house. In an instant it was answered by the answering machine, located beside the bell.

"Who's that?" An irritated voice asked.

"Sasuke…I'm here to do things." He answered unsurely.

"Do things?" The irritated voice changed into confused ones then the door was automatically opened. Naruto wasn't that surprised though….he went in. Expecting no one is there, he welcomed himself inside.

Woaw…how could he live alone in this big house? Since when I was with…

Naruto stopped his thoughts and continued observing the house. The ring he saw was bothering him and it was giving him a head ache. It gave him memories which make him tremble and fall sad.

He knocked on the door of Sasuke's room and spoke, "Can I come in?" He waited but no one answered him so he entered. He poked his head on the side and saw Sasuke, lying on his bed. The raven wasn't sleeping but his eyes were closed. Naruto skulked silently near Sasuke and kneeled in front of him. He watched Sasuke's serene face and blushed as his heart began beating fast. He crooked his face, changing the position of his eyes to the floor. I still feel it…he whispered to himself. Glancing at Sasuke's face again, he stood up and prepared to leave the room.

"Where are you going?" A deep voice asked. He once turned his face to the other guy and looked at him.

"I---I will just prepare food for you." He said nervously while scratching the back of his head. The raven cocked his eyebrow.

"Mizuki pleaded me to take care of you." He added.

"So…if she didn't plead, you won't take care of me?" The raven asked.

"No!" Naruto cried. (But not that loud) "I mean…I'll still take care of you even though no one will plead me…(he trailed off but continued) so don't worry about your work because Mizuki is handling it." He smiled and ran outside. After closing the door, he leaned against it. His once smiling face fell into sobering. How can I stop loving him if he's always near me…?

As Naruto went to the kitchen's region, he started towing out the foods and medicines he bought. He got the tomatoes and looked for a blender.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Sasuke pondered the dream he had yesterday. It was bothering him. He didn't understand the message of that dream…because it was like a memory…like it really happened…but in his past.

The dream…

Naruto and Sasuke were walking in the shore, their hands intertwined and happiness…shown in their faces. They sat in the middle of the shore and watched as the sun settled down. It was really beautiful.

(Skipping…)

When the night came that day, Sasuke kneeled down in front of Naruto in a park. He dug an elegant box inside his pocket and opened it.

"Naruto…I think this is the right time that…I will ask for hand. Will you marry me?" He asked using a throatier voice than before. (The usual) Naruto didn't answer instead he stared at the ring which was presented for him. He can't find words how to express the joy he was experiencing. He opened his mouth but no words came…That eternity was cut when Sasuke's phone rang. At first he disregarded it because he was waiting for the most important thing in his life until Naruto spoke and said, "Its ok, answer it." But Sasuke didn't, he still waited for the answer.

"Answer it first." Naruto insisted and Sasuke obeyed him. He answered his phone and talked to the caller.

"Sasuke…we have an emergency meeting today. Go back to our house immediately."

"But I have a…" He was cut when the phone was hanged down. He gripped the phone tightly and cursed his father. He walked towards Naruto and held both his hands. Leaning forward, he kissed them and whispered to his ear, "I'll wait for your answer tomorrow." Then he went away.

End of dream…

That dream was really hard to understand because everything seems to be real…everything seems to have occurred.
