One loud yawn broke the silent morning of Saturday followed by a slap of skin. Birds in the sky flew in circles while chirping, the rising sun making them look ethereal. A large window with forgotten curtains lining its frame reflected the sun's gaze poorly, allowing rays of warm orange sunlight slip in the fairly cold temperature room. The light caressed two lumps covered by white sheets on two rather large beds stuck together.

A rather annoyed grunt was heard soon after the yawn and then a gasp. A thud was heard soon after and a swishing noise as a tangled body tried to get away from twisted sheets. The second form rose slowly, eyes blinking slowly as a hand reached up to clear the sleep away. The tangled male glared a bit, clearly asking for help yet the other male, still half-asleep, made no attempt to help the troubled one.

With a sigh, the tangled male wiggled his way out of the sheets he was certain were out to spite him in the early morning. "Thanks a lot." He grumbled moodily at the other male still on the bed. His hand reached up to muss his own blonde hair as he made his way to his bathroom, intent on getting the morning ritual over and done with.

"Heh. Sorry, Naruto." The unhelpful male said with slight amusement, his voice low and growl-like with sleep. He swung the sheets over him away and stood up, stretching his muscles as he walked over to the glass window with an extremely nice view of the city. His eyes roamed all over until his attention was caught by the sun and he stayed staring at it, mesmerized.

When Naruto came out of his bathroom, he found the raven standing in front of his window as if in a trance. Curiosity bubbled in him at the sight and he slowly walked over, stopping beside Sasuke and looked out. Thoroughly used to the sight however, he was not entertained much and his eyes wandered over to the raven beside him.

Naruto inhaled softly as his throat hitched. His lips closed as he swallowed with as much silence as he could. Sasuke's face was captivating, red lips slightly parted and eyes lost in thought. Involuntarily, Naruto reached up as if in instinct to brush soft raven hair away from the porcelain face of his… of the raven. He immediately regretted his action when Sasuke snapped out of his stupor.

The raven turned, blinking before gazing at the blonde with soft eyes. "Hey…" He reached up much like Naruto did earlier and threaded his fingers in wet blonde locks. "You'll get sick if you don't dry up properly." Sasuke said softly.

Naruto gave a small smile. "Yeah, I'll just go grab a towel. You can shower." The blonde pointed to a rather large cabinet. "Clothes." He said simply.

Sasuke nodded.

*Time Skip*

After everything was done, the risen sun found the males hand in hand outside an old hotel. The blonde male, who was on the right, pulled the other male towards the direction of a neat looking ice cream shop.

"This is breakfast?"

The blonde turned to his companion. "Only when I'm happy. Today I am. Actually, I haven't felt this way since… since before."

Sasuke looked at Naruto curiously. "Before? 'Gaara' before?"

Naruto blinked twice, surprised at the use of Gaara's name without the inflection of any feeling aside from curiosity. "Um, no, actually. Before, when my parents were still alive." He said, stretching his arms above his head in a carefree manner. "Maybe because he slept over." He mumbled softly to himself.

Sasuke heard the mumble and raised his eyebrows in mild but joyous surprise. "That's… I'm glad." He said. "And I'm glad I decided to sleepover yesterday too."

The blonde's lip twitched to a smile for a second. "Mmhm, me too." Naruto said, chipper. It had been too long since he felt carefree and the sense of happiness marred by no other emotion. He didn't know what caused it—though Sasuke was an obvious answer—and he didn't question it either. Sasuke… the person? Or Sasuke… as a person, period? Maybe it was because he hadn't woken up with someone beside him in a long time. Someone who loved him. Someone he liked. And someone he… trusted? His blue eyes slid over to the raven with tender eyes he was sure he never sported before. "Thank you, Sasuke. For everything."

The raven blinked, utterly surprised. "Um… sure. I mean, hey, don't speak like it's over already. We've barely begun. We… I… You're welcome, Naruto. You are really welcome."

Naruto smiled a bit then bit his lip uncertainly. "Uh..." He laughed nervously, though it seemed more like he was just forcing out the words 'ha ha ha'. "Let's… Let's go eat our breakfast, yeah?" He said before turning to go in the shop.

Sasuke looked after him, slight amusement in his eyes. He knew why the blonde acted that way, mostly since he would have acted the same. They were both in a new territory. He felt happiness and… "Peace." He said softly to nothing in wonder. Happiness and peace, that's what he was feeling right now and it was great. He didn't understand why he suddenly felt at peace but he wasn't complaining. His happiness, though, he understood where it was coming from. Why wouldn't he be happy when Naruto clearly liked him as he is?

"Sasuke, what are you doing?" Naruto asked, his head poking out of the cream shop door.

The raven, realizing belatedly that he was staring at nothing in particular while lost in his thoughts, smiled sheepishly. "Um… nothing." He said, going in the door the blonde held out for him. "Thanks."

*Time Skip*

Two parfaits and two large spoons with canned drinks fizzing inside glass containers sat in front of two chattering males. Scoops of coffee, hazelnut and more flavors of ice cream were constantly being fed into hot caverns and the table trembled ever so slightly every second with each contact of two males' knees.

"I'm wondering though, Naruto." Sasuke said conversationally. "How come you're talking so much?" He looked up at the blonde, his spoon still in his mouth, making an adorable sight. "Not that I'm complaining. I'm enjoying actually."

Naruto furrowed his brows "No idea. Just don't feel irritated like I always do about talking. I actually don't mind right now. Ah! You slept over. No one has ever slept over my place. It feels great. Like I have a family… Again, I should say." Naruto said, putting a hand on his chin and tilting his head upward in thought. A second passed and he put his hand down, smiling. "Yeah, anyway, you're talking a lot too."

"As we said so before, I like talking when the person I'm with understands." Sasuke said. "Me." He added then chuckled. "Is what I would say but since it's you…" Sasuke leaned forward, scooping some of his parfait up and feeding it to the blonde who hesitated a bit at the sudden gesture. "It's great to sleep with someone again. And… we're so comfortable we might as well be family."

"You'd like that wouldn't you?" Naruto punched the raven's shoulder playfully. "Kidding aside, did you notice that the waiters are staring at us? Must be used to my silence and shortness."

"Well, they'll soon get used to you speaking since I'm going to sweep you off your feet and turn you into a talkative person whenever I'm around." Sasuke teasingly said.

"I can't believe this. You actually have a sense of humour." Naruto said with a sarcastic tone but his eyes conveyed to the raven that he meant every word.

"Such an ass. I was actually a funny child, thanks." Sasuke said. "It's just resurfaced. Guess I was holding it back or keeping it in. Anyhow, it's out. Hopefully only when you're the one I'm conversing with." At the questioning face the blonde made, Sasuke explained. "Fangirls population might grow. Fangirls might rape me and before you know it, I'm not a virgin anymore." He shuddered a bit at his own imagination. "I just know they can be violent when I start becoming all funny like the old me… it's gonna be hell just trying to keep them away."

Naruto smiled. "Right, well, I don't really care if you go psycho on them with your usual glare. We can be us just to us."

Sasuke nodded. "Yeah, I like that. Exclusivity and such. Plus, it'll feel more special. Not that I'd go mushy over special. Just feels nice to have something special between us."

"You can go mushy over special, Sasuke. I'd go mushy with you." Naruto said and, having finished his parfait, leaned back to look at the ceiling, avoiding the raven's eyes. "I might have let you in too far. It's been too comfortable and you're inside, you are but, fact is, the person I was thinking of when I first kissed you hasn't left my mind. I just wanted you to know."

Sasuke, on his part, didn't look the slightest but reactive. In fact, he was pretty indifferent to what should have been a big blow. "As I said, it's okay, I don't mind."

Naruto looked at him then. "You should. You should mind. You deserve my full attention. I am acknowledging that there is an 'us' and can be a real 'us'. I don't know or understand why you feel that way and I say this because I trust that whatever you are saying, it is the utmost truth." His shoulders, which tensed at Sasuke's words, relaxed. "Anyway, that's about all the long talking I can do."

"It's barely morning." Sasuke said. "I deserve more, okay. But I want you so I'm great." He hesitantly laid his hand over the blonde's. "I'm really happy you acknowledge 'us' but I believe this is the real 'us' already. Just that we aren't truly and wholeheartedly 'us' because we're still straying."

Naruto nodded to signal his agreement. Sasuke really didn't seem to mind that he was still thinking of the masked male… there was barely any envy or what in his voice.

"What do you want, Naruto?" Sasuke continued. "Do you want 'us' or the other with you? We have to settle this and today is as good day as any."

Naruto blinked. "I want 'us' but I can't promise. I've… This is new territory. I can't block my own path not knowing if I really can."

Sasuke digested the words slowly. There was no room for misunderstanding. "So… if you see the other again… what will you do exactly?"

The blonde breathed in deeply. "I… I'm not going to… I'll give a chance much like with you." He turned his hand over and squeezed the raven's hand. "Nothing but talk since we are… together." He said. The word tasted so foreign on his tongue. He had to get used to this.

Sasuke inhaled, exhaled then smiled a rather breathtaking smile. "Okay. I trust you. Thank you, Naru."

*~*Naruto: Vampire*~*

The night air swished coldly, leaves rustling ominously as if in a horror movie. The dead silence pressed, not a whisper, not a single scampering animal. The street lights shined dull yellow as a shivering, brisk walking figure passed them by. The wind picked up and blew harder. As a result, the figure cursed colorfully and walked even faster, just short of running.

When he passed a huge tree, he suddenly stopped dead and turned sharply towards the tree. After a few minutes of staring at the clear and unoccupied area, Naruto backed up with furrowed brows then about faced and resumed his hurried trip back home.

A relieved yet disappointed sigh left cold lips, warming them. The blonde stepped onto a cobbled path and he smiled thankfully up at his old hotel. He walked fast to his elevator and went up to his floor. Stepping out, he blinked rapidly. Dammit, he definitely saw the masked male a second ago. He shook his head to clear his mind of the illusions it was feeding him. What the hell? Sasuke was with him just before his walk home. Was he that much in need of human contact after all those years of solidarity aside from his time with Gaara? Why was he thinking of the masked male all of a sudden?

He sighed once again, even more annoyed then earlier as he opened his door. He switched his air-conditioner off and turned the heater on. A few steps and he dived inside his bed covers, warming himself.

Just before he left for his home, he was at Sasuke's. It was kind of a downer how his annoyance started when he announced that he was leaving. What went in Sasuke's head anyway? It took way too long just to make Sasuke understand that he need not accompany him and that no one was going to harm him. What was he? A gullible moron?

It wasn't like he was unhappy with the obvious fact that Sasuke cared. Albeit, a little too much for his liking. But still, he was happy Sasuke was serious about his safety. Being treated like a girl though… grated on him.

"Shut up." He said irritably to himself.

After a few moments of blissful silence, he poked his head out of the bed covers he was under and stretched his arms out. Happy with the temperature of his room—and closing his eyes—he dropped his arms down to the pillows on his bed.

Naruto winced, gritting his teeth as one of his closed eyes twitched. He inhaled deeply and opened his eyes. "Fuck, that hurts." He said as he peeked a look at his left hand. Grimacing at the small drops of blood slowly forming on two of his fingers, he sat up, struggling a bit in the process, and cradled his hand.

The blonde sucked on the blood droplets and smiled as he effectively stopped the bleeding, he focused on the roses on top of the pillow beside the one he was currently leaning on. He picked them up, smiling, and stood up to place them near his window.

His annoyance was suddenly replaced with giddiness. The masked male would surely show himself soon. He wondered what he would do.

Naruto went inside his bathroom and commenced his nightly routine.

Ten minutes passed before the blonde emerged from his bathroom, refreshed but ready to sleep. He yawned and walked over to his bed, flopping onto it then snuggling in.

Despite his annoyance, today was a fairly good day. He smiled again, nodding to himself.

"Good night, Naruto." He said, grinning, yet again, to himself.

A thought passed his mind and he bit his lip at it, contemplating. "Night… Sasuke." He mumbled, willing it to be heard by the raven, who was probably asleep on his bed far from Naruto.

The blonde groaned as a light blush dusted his cheeks. "This is ridiculous. Definitely." He muttered. "This is definitely ridiculous."

He leaned over to his bedside table and switched off the lights in the room then went to sleep.

That night, he dreamed of disappearing figures, a certain masked male and Sasuke as he moved around in his large bed.

*~*Naruto: Vampire*~*

"Father! Father!"

A tall young looking man with wild blonde hair and an ever ready blinding grin turned around, his eyes sparkling with joy and love as he looked at the small toddler sporting the same blonder hair as he.

The child hobbled over, a smile full of wonder and amazement plastered on his face as the wind blew his own wild blonde hair around. When the child passed the end of the large sand box he climbed out of earlier, he tripped over a small bucket full of sand that he failed to notice "Ah!" He squeaked, closing his eyes to not see as he falls.

After a few seconds of silence, Naruto opened his eyes cautiously, wondering why hadn't fallen yet. He looked over at a panting raven haired boy beside him and then at the boy's arm which kept him up.

The boy had large black eyes, red lips encircling an ever closing and opening mouth, blushing cheeks and weirdly styled hair but Naruto liked it.

"Thanks." Naruto said with a big smile, straightening himself up. He took hold of the raven's arm and clasped the pale hand attached to it. "I'm Naruto!"

Wide black eyes turned to look into dazzling blue ones and the already slightly red cheeks became even redder. "I'm… Sasuke." He said uncertainly. "You're welcome."

The blonde boy's eyes crinkled in happiness. "Hi Sasuke! Nice to meet you." He said, practically hanging onto the boy in front of him. When he was done, he gripped the pale boy's shoulders. "Will you be my friend?"

Sasuke relaxed under the boy's hold and gave a smile of his own. "Sure. Be my friend and I'll be yours." He pointed over to the west. "I live over there. My family and I just moved here. It's lucky I met you, Naruto!"

Naruto's face lit up. "I'm glad! Luck is on my side, yeah!" He looked at his father, gesturing him wildly to go to him then turned back to Sasuke. "Me and dad can show you around! What do you say?"

"Naruto?" The father of the blonde asked, crouching down beside his son and smiling at the suddenly nervous raven. "Who is this?"

"Father, he's Sasuke! We're going to show him around." He said. "We can, can't we? He's new here."

"Sure thing, Naruto." The father said kindly. He looked at the little raven boy. "I'm Minato, Naruto's father. Nice to meet you, Sasuke." Minato said with a kind smile, patting the boy's fluffy head. "Now, if you want us to show you around,—" Sasuke nodded excitedly. "—we need to inform your parents."

The raven bit his red lip. "It's okay, father won't mind. He said to enjoy myself as long as I stay out of trouble. Going around isn't trouble."

"You sound smart." Naruto said before grabbing his father. "Let's go to the ice cream shop!"

Minato smiled at his son and ruffled the blonde hair so much like his own. "It's morning, Naru. Ice cream is not good for breakfast. We should bring Sasuke to a restaurant. How about that favourite ramen store of yours?"

"Aw! But ramen's for lunch and dinner!"

Sasuke smiled at his new friend. "I ate breakfast back home already, it's okay, uncle." He looked at the adult. "Ice cream sounds great." He said, reaching out to hold Naruto's hand timidly.

Minato smiled at the two little boys. "Oh, alright then. My treat! Order whatever you want when we get there and don't hold back!"

"Yay! Ice cream!" Naruto said joyously, throwing his free arm around his new friend.

Suddenly, loud knocks disturbed the scene and then it went black.

*~*Naruto: Vampire*~*

A much older Naruto woke up with a start, eyes wide. "I haven't dreamt about father for so long…" He clapped his hand to his forehead, trying to even his startled gasps of breath.

Loud knocks reverberated in his head once again, making him jump.

Naruto looked at his door for a while, not quite comprehending. As confusion cleared slowly in his eyes, he stood up, breathing slower than a while ago. "Coming…" He said softly and went to his door, opening it. His body tensed then stilled, eyes wide at his unexpected visitor.

"Naru..?"

The blonde blinked out of his daze. "Sasuke."

"Is something wrong? Did something happen?" Sasuke asked, worry overtaking his features.

Naruto exhaled nervously. He stepped forward and hugged Sasuke tight, his face scrunching up. It hurt to remember his father and he always ended up emotional after. This time, he was also shaken by the raven's unprecedented visit. Why did he come? And did he really know Sasuke before? How did he… Of course he forgot. He wanted to forget everything about his happy times before that now caused him much pain. The most important question now would be… does Sasuke remember? Is that why the raven likes him? And was this the reason why Naruto didn't really feel like pushing the boy away when he came close unlike with others? It would make sense… and it'd be great to have someone from his past with him now. Especially since Sasuke's presence did not cause him any pain what so ever. He sighed, relieved at this realization. He felt safe in the raven's strong arms wrapped around him comfortingly and protectively.

"Naru…" Sasuke murmured softly, playing with Naruto's blonde hair.

"I'm okay, just had a dream of my time with father. Thank you, Sasuke."

Sasuke nuzzled Naruto's hair and placed a kiss there and another soft kiss on the blonde's cheek. "You're welcome, Naruto." His lips moved. "I'm here for you." He laid a loving kiss on the blonde's forehead.

Naruto closed his eyes and tilted his head up, pressing his lips to Sasuke's soft ones.

There really was no better way to show his gratitude and love for the one person who stood by him now.


A.N.

Fluff! |3

I actually had no intention to post a chapter any time soon because I had no plot bunnies in my mind. I mean, I've been wanting but… it wasn't working. Then leoparddrop asked me when I'd have a fic up or something and I thought; I have to finish my multi-fics… So I tried and the story just flowed out of me. I'm glad.

I anticipate your reviews! And thank you all for the favourites, alerts and such.

Long live the yaoi rebellion!
