The group continued in the direction of Hokage Mountain sticking to the trees rather than the busy city streets. Definitely a perk or being a ninja. "Did Neji bale on us?" Ten Ten asked as they reached the foot of the mountain. Hinata blushed lightly

"No, he left for Suna yesterday…" she said steepling her fingers nervously

"A mission?" Sakura asked, the dark haired girl shook her head

"A personal trip…"

"Personal trip? Neji?" Ino asked as they began their climb up the mountain. Hinata bit her lip

"He's visiting Gaara." This stopped everyone in their tracks

"Wait, wait, wait! Lemme get this straight" Kiba said laughing "Neji, has gone on a personal trip to Suna to see Gaara?" he asked Hinata nodded "There're so many things wrong with that sentence." Hinata smiled slightly and continuing forward

"They've been seeing each other for about two months." She said, Tenten laughed

"Damn, only five of us are still single? I feel lame." She sighed, though her count was wrong.

"Actually, I'm seeing Ayame." Chouji said happily. Tenten glared at him

"Thanks, now I feel even lamer." She groaned as they reached the top of the mountain.

"The new guy that works at the book store's kinda cute." Ino said, heading off over the top the First's head.

"Yeah but he's a total prick." Sakura put in, fallowing after the blonde girl. The group made its way to the top of Tsunade's head where they settled down for a game of Dai Hin Min.

"Hey, where'd Sasuke, and Naruto go?" Chouji asked looking around the circle Sakura shrugged

"Somewhere doing Sasuke and Naruto things." She said picking up her cards.

"This game's no fair if Sasuke's not here, Shikamaru has no competition." Kiba complained.

Naruto and Sasuke fell behind the group, stopping above Second. "How long do you think it'll be before they notice we're gone?" Naruto asked Sasuke shrugged

"Five, ten minutes. But Sakura will keep them from looking for us for a while." Naruto smiled leaning back against the side of First's head and closing his eyes. He felt Sasuke lean against the stone next to him. They stood silently for several minutes before Naruto opened his eyes to find Sasuke's closed. The blond turned toward the other hesitantly reaching out to trace the crease of his elbow, the vein there pulsing gently beneath his fingers. He glanced up to the dark eyes now fixed intently on him. Sasuke reached out, first delicately touching a lock of blonde before brushing a finger lightly down across a tanned cheek. Naruto held Sasuke's gaze leaning into his touch and letting out a shallow breath. Sasuke tilted Naruto's chin up pressing a soft kiss on his lips for a moment before wrapping his free arm around the blond's thin waist and pulling him forward. Naruto rested his head against Sasuke's shoulder trailing light kisses up Sasuke's throat. Sasuke ran a hand through Naruto's hair holding him securely against his chest.

"Naruto?"

"Hm?" Sasuke paused reconsidering; he didn't want to scare him off.

"Never mind."

Ino was about to make the leap to First's head when she noticed Sasuke and Naruto, she quickly took several steps back down the curved slope of the rock until they were out of sight again. She bit the inside of her cheek then walked forward slowly again to glance over the lip of the rock. The two were still exactly as they had been, Naruto wrapped in Sasuke's arms the Uchiha seemed to be pressing a lingering kiss into blond locks. It was nothing like the scene in the ally last week but it somehow seemed far more intimate. Naruto was so still and quiet and Sasuke seemed soft and caring. She felt like she was intruding on their private world. She glanced back at Fourth's head at the sound of one of the others heading in this direction. She looked back at the two who still hadn't moved, wondering why she was always walking in on them, before heading back in the direction she had come, meeting Chouji halfway.

"Did you see them over there?" he asked Ino shook her head

"Er, no…Why don't you go further back that way with Shikamaru, I'm gunna look with Sakura." Her old team mate shrugged and turned to follow Shikamaru. Ino hurried back down to Third's head where Sakura was with Hinata.

"Didn't find them?" Sakura asked, in a rhetorical way, taking her return as a no "They might have just left." Ino shook her head

"I saw them. They're over on Second. Why don't you go get them? Hinata and I can go get the others." Sakura nodded and laughed at Ino's slightly mystified expression

"Okay, meet us on First." They split off in search of the others. Sakura made her way across the Fourth Hokage's giant stone head and down on to Seconds keeping an eye out for her team mates. She grinned widely when she found them all wrapped up in each others arms. She understood Ino's strange look now, it was very rare that either boy had their guard down like this.

"Hey Sasuke, your soul is showing, it's scaring Ino." Onyx and blue eyes both immediately flashed up in her direction and the two stepped away from each other regrouping. Naruto laughed at her comment a little late. "We were thinking we'd go to a movie. You guy's wanna come?"

"Depends on what movie, cuz there's no way in hell I'm seeing another chick flick with you." Sakura rolled her eyes

"There will be explosions and buckets of blood, I promise." He shrugged

"Then I'm in."

Naruto yawned walking into Sasuke's room and removing his jacket, hanging it on one of the hooks on the wall.

"I feel disgusting. I've been wearing the same thing for two days." He complained

"You can barrow some clothes if you want." Sasuke said following him into the room and gesturing to his dresser. Naruto bit his lip considering for a moment before going to look through Sasuke's things. He grabbed a large black t shirt and turned to face Sasuke, finding that the other boy was busy being obsessive compulsive about how his own jacket was hung on the wall. Naruto chuckled lightly.

"Can I use your shower?" the Uchiha looked up from straightening jackets to nod for a moment before turning his attention to his closet. After Naruto had left Sasuke changed into shorts and got in bed picking his book up off the night stand.

Naruto wiped the fog off the bathroom mirror, mostly because he knew it would leave streaks which would drive Sasuke crazy later. He looked himself over for a moment before turning and craning his neck around to look at the big fan on his back. He hadn't noticed it until he had put it on a minute ago, he sighed toweling his hair dry, wondering if Sasuke would mind. He had already put his photo in the Uchiha album, but he was unsure if might be crossing the line. He wasn't even really sure what they were. They had only technically been together since last night but Naruto was pretty sure he could make a solid argument for about four years ago being the actual start date. Four years was enough time to wear the Uchiha crest wasn't it? He rubbed his eyes and sighed deciding he was too tired for this and he'd just have to hope Sasuke didn't care.

Sasuke glanced up from his book as Naruto came back in, yawning loudly and wearing nothing but the t shirt and his boxers. Sasuke turned his attention back to his book before he could start staring. Naruto climbed under the comforter nuzzling into the pillows with a hum.

"Night," he mumbled already half asleep, Sasuke smirked at him chuckling

"Good night dobe." The blond didn't answer he simply nodded very slightly. Sasuke continued reading for several minutes, shooting glances at the blond asleep beside him every now and then. He shut his book after he realized he had been reading the same line for the last five minutes, too distracted by Naruto's presence to read. The Uchiha turned off the lamp on his night stand and laid back beside the other boy blinking once to help his eyes adjust to the dark. He leaned forward to kiss Naruto taking in his familiar sweet smell. He ran a hand through Naruto's hair considering the boy.

"Naruto?" he whispered lightly, the blond didn't react at all "Naruto, I love you." Sasuke murmured, one big blue eye opened lazily making Sasuke freeze. Naruto blinked then made a little noise that clearly said something along the lines of 'If you'd like to make a call, please hang up and dial again.' Sasuke let out the breath he had been holding and relaxed back against the pillows.

Naruto yawned and rolled over smiling at the still sleeping Sasuke. He blushed slightly at the though of what Sasuke had said last night but paled suddenly at the though that he may have dreamed that. He sat up trying to recall the night before. He had taken a shower, come back in here, said goodnight then Sasuke had said it…but he didn't remember saying anything back, which he would have. Shit. Naruto groaned squeezing his eyes shut and trying to remember more clearly. "Something wrong?" Naruto's eyes snapped open to meet Sasuke's gaze, he was looking up at him from the pillows with a slightly worried expression. Naruto shook his head trying to smile

"No," Sasuke raised a disbelieving eyebrow at him.

"Your lying." He said

"It's nothing, don't worry about it." Naruto said cheerfully waving it off and forcing a grin this time. Sasuke sat up

"No, you always get all overly happy when something's bothering you. What is it?" Sasuke was pretty sure what it was and pretty sure he would regret pushing the subject but did it anyway. Naruto looked away biting his lip

"It's just…I thought you said something…last night but I'm not sure…" he could feel his cheeks turning red

"And you're worrying because it's possible I actually said this something?" Sasuke asked slowly Naruto turned a darker shade of red

"No, the opposite." He answered still avoiding Sasuke's eyes. It was quite possible Sasuke's heart stopped for a moment before he relaxed moving to kneel in front of Naruto. The blond made a little surprised noise as Sasuke took his face between his hands leaning forward until their lips we're touching only very slightly.

'I love you." He said quietly against the others lips before kissing him carefully. Sasuke could feel Naruto's smile as the blonds arms wrapped around his neck and he slid down the head board onto the pillows.

"I love you too teme." He hummed

Sorry it's kind of short…I don't have much to say other than I'm going camping with friends so I won't be updating for a while. So sorry! But I should be back soon depending on weather, and knowing Seattle that means very soon.

Thank you and lots of love to all you lovely people who review! It totally makes my day!
