Meeting a Stranger

Chapter Seven: Where We Stand
CRASH!
Naruto looked up at the stairs as Sasuke ran up first. "Uh, I'll call you back later," then he hung up and ran after Sasuke.
Gaara was standing, in the middle of the hallway, two feet from a broken green vase on the ground. "I didn't do it," he said quite truthfully.
"If you're gonna lie, at least do better than that," said Sasuke, smirking. He'd never seen Gaara in trouble and it would be a delight.
The red head glared at him.
Naruto walked forward and examined the vase. "Yeah, but vases don't just break into three clean pieces either. Look," he pointed at the broken pieces. A big piece at the top was slit to the side and the remaining pieces were cut in half. The side wasn't edgy or chipped, but smooth and perfect. "Probably three days from now. Count today and two days tomorrow," he mumbled to himself.
"What?"
"Huh?" He shook his head and took up the pieces. "I'll throw this away unless one of you can fix it."
Gaara walked to his room. "Fighting and protecting."
"House chores," Sasuke said and went back downstairs.
Naruto rolled his eyes and threw the broken vase in the trash can. "Oh, yeah, when I'm missing you're all very willing to help, but a broken vase and you abandon me." He went to Gaara's room and peeked in. "Hey, how's your wound?"
"The infection's starting to go away."
"Yippee," he said without much enthusiasm and went down to the kitchen. On second thought, he went to his room. The book was still were he threw it. He picked it up and put it back in the box which was gathering a tiny bit of dust in the closet. He checked the box, hoping there wasn't another letter from her or something worse. Surprisingly, there was nothing else. 'Hmm, weird, it seemed full when I carried it.' He shrugged and closed it back up. Somewhat hesitantly, he took the book back out and flipped it to the end where Halie's message was. His eyes quickly scanned over the bullshit to the important part.
Don't throw the box away or burn it. Keep it until your upcoming birthday. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
I lo
That was when he slammed it shut and put it back into the box. Sealing it up properly, he put it back into the closet and walked out of his room. 'You just don't understand.'
Naruto opened the door again, took the book out again, resealed it again, and then walked out of his room. Again. He opened the book and looked up what kind of food Gaara liked. They hadn't been able to spend much time together and maybe this would help.
Favorite Food: gizzards and salted tongue
Least Favorite Food: sweet bean jelly and maroon glace
'That is interesting. Wonder what I can make with salted tongue? Or gizzard?' Naruto wondered if any of his cookbooks had anything on gizzard. He went to the kitchen and got out every cooking book there was.
Sasuke had been watching Naruto ever since he came back down. 'He hasn't said anything about the kiss. How can he? It was only six minutes ago! Why the fuck do I feel neglected!' He watched as the blonde read an old book. He bent down to the side to see what the title was for him to be so interested. '…why that son of a bitch.' He followed Naruto into the kitchen, making his notice by clearing his throat loudly.
Naruto didn't stop what he was doing, but he did turn around slightly. "Hey, Sasuke." He pulled out another book and flipped through it. Nothing. "Do you know any dishes on gizzards?"
"Why do you have that book?"
"What bo-. Oh," he looked at the cover. "Ohhhh. Right…uh….well, you see….Halie gave this to me….for my birthday." Naruto scratch his head sheepishly, but inside he was praying for Halie to burn in hell!
Sasuke snatched the book from his hand and flipped open a page. His eyes widened at what he saw. Naruto leaned over and took a peek except the page was blank so was the next one and the next. The whole book was blank.
The blonde took the book in his hand from behind Sasuke, literally trapping the raven haired boy in his arms. "Will yah' look at that? I wonder what we should do as punishment here…"
Sasuke elbowed Naruto in the gut, making him separate his arms so Sasuke could back away. "Hn, anyone would've misunderstood it by the title."
Naruto continued to smirk, knowing that he was right. However, that hit was pretty painful. "Whatever. Anyway, as I was saying before you went off on your own conclusion, do you know any gizzard dishes? And it's for Gaara. Why am I making it? Because I-."
"Alright, I get it!" Sasuke looked in the fridge and the freezer, bringing out nothing after closing it. "To make a gizzard dish, you have to have gizzard in the first place."
"There might be some in the pantry," he said, but after a moment, seeing Sasuke made no movement to go check. "What?"
"If you haven't notice, there's no pantry."
Naruto didn't know what he was doing, but he had an urge to look inside the book for answers. He flipped it open then quickly shut it. He slowly opened it again and read the words.
The pantry is on the other side of the house. Key is the main key for the house.
'The book was empty when Sasuke read it or tried to, but when I pick it up, there's always something in there that answers my question. Hmm, I wonder.' Naruto imagined what the weather will be like for tomorrow then open the book.
Sunny and cool in the morning, but during 2:01 PM, there will be a huge storm. Advice for those taking road trips to stay inside until 3:48 when it will be safe to continue driving to your destination. At night, it will be extremely cold due to the rain storm that afternoon. Bundle up and lots of fluid as to not catch a cold.
Naruto closed the book and…he didn't know exactly what expression to put on. 'Halie gave me an enchanted book. Great. Just what I needed for my birthday. Something else to resist opening. Ok, that was a bad thought.' He glanced over at Sasuke a little bit, who was currently putting away the cook books in their rightful place. 'I wonder what he'll be like in bed.' He opened the book just a little, upon seeing the nearly readable words, he slammed it shut. 'I can't do this! It's his personal…life issue.' "Pantry's in the back of the house."
Sasuke closed the cabinet and turn to him. "Something wrong?"
"No, why?" He follow the pointed finger to where he was clutching the book so hard, his knuckles were white. He quickly hid it behind his back. "Uh, let's go to the pantry!"
Gaara was reading in his room as usual when he smelled something peculiar in the air. It smelled good! He follow the scent downstairs to the kitchen and-.
"Gaara," Naruto led him to the table and sat him down. "Here try this. I made-."
Ahem!
"-I mean, we made it for you."
Gaara scooped up some of the content and put it in his mouth. He nodded his head approvingly. "Hmm, a little salty though."
"Really?" Naruto took a taste, finding it to be alright. "…you don't like it?"
On the sideline, Sasuke was feeling more and more neglected. He didn't know why, he just did and felt angry too. Naruto hadn't mentioned the kiss and it was a damn good hour! He kept the feelings to himself however. He didn't do jealous or visible emotion of any kind. The last few days were just….shock.
Sasuke quickly went up to his room and closed the door shut. He listened to hear if someone was following up and was disappointed to find out the answer was none.
Nothing insinuated as to where Naruto and his relationship was at. Were they friends with benefits? Were they a couple? Was only one of them allowed to see other people while their boyfriend withered away at home! He needed to know! He had never experienced those kinds of emotions before and they were sure as hell confusing him!
All his other relationships were with girls! They were all fake and bitchy anyway. He had never been gay! He had never kissed another guy! He had never been this damn confused before! He needed answer damnit! But asking was too clingy. He had officially become a wimp. 'Wimp. Wimp. Wimp. Wimp. Wimp.' The thoughts ran through his mind and just to make it more painful, it did a U-turn and went through his brain again.
His father never approved of his relationships with anybody before. There was this one girl. His first crush, but then his father had to go and send her family away. 'Job transfer, my ass.' After she left, he found out she only did it for the money. 'Bitch.' Further more, since he had begun school, there were always girls flinging themselves at him. It annoyed the fucking hell out of him.
Most of the other girls he went out with were just to piss off his father or somebody he hated at school. It always worked, but they got him in a lot of fights. Literally and figuratively. Punishment was the popularity that came right after.
His second crush didn't end well either. Neither did his third and fourth or fifth. It actually ended after the fifth. No more dating, except to piss of someone or hurt them emotionally because of their resistance to his 'I don't like you' speech. His brother constantly teased him and his father hated him. He loved his mother, mostly because she actually did love him and was very understanding.
'Ugh, my life sucks ass.'
Even though his mom loved him, she'd been sick lately. He sunk down to the floor and wrapped his arms around his knee. The doctor said she might not last another year. He should be by her side right now, but he was scared. He didn't want to see her die! It was selfish, but he couldn't stand there while she died! Tears slowly rolled down his face, more and more coming as he thought about the last day he spent with her.
Naruto's hand stopped at the doorknob. He pressed his ear against the door and listened. He slowly opened the door and looked at the boy on the floor crying. Closing the door behind him as quiet as possible, Naruto crept over and wrapped his arms around Sasuke.
Sasuke tensed. He hadn't expected Naruto to come in and try to comfort him. But…it felt nice. He rested his head on Naruto's shoulder and wrapped his arms around his neck. Without knowing it, he stopped crying.
"What's the matter?" Naruto held him tighter in his arms. Using his psychology skills would only probably anger the raven haired boy.
"I-I…." he didn't know what to say, but then he suddenly remembered where he was and what he was doing. Sasuke pushed Naruto away and glared at him.
"What?" Naruto frowned. Everything was going great unless-. "You're angry because I saw you crying." No answer. "If it makes you feel any better, I only heard you cry." Still no answer. "You know, we really gotta work on this whole communication thing. I mean, I'm your boyfriend and you can't even tell me wha-."
"What did you just say?"
"Uh…we gotta work on this-."
"After."
Naruto rethought his words. "…boyfriend?" 'Is he blushing? Oh.' He couldn't help it; the smirk just slapped itself right on. He grabbed the back of Sasuke's neck and brought their lips together. However, the kiss was short, leaving Sasuke unsatisfied. Their lips were touching slightly, but Naruto made no move to continue the kiss. "So all this time, you were thinking about…us." It was more of a statement than a question and it was a very arrogant, seductive kind of question.
Sasuke didn't say anything. It's wasn't that he didn't want to, but he couldn't think of anything to say. Naruto had that affect on him. Instead of trying to say something, he captured Naruto's lips. That was actually the first time Sasuke kissed Naruto and he wasn't about to stop just yet. He loved the feeling of Naruto's moving tongue against his and wanted, no needed more. He threw both arms around Naruto's neck.
The sudden weight caught Naruto off guard and he fell back, but luckily he was able to balance himself with his elbows. One actually, the other was behind Sasuke's neck, pushing them together more. Naruto was becoming hard with Sasuke between his legs. He rubbed against Sasuke's own erection, extracting a moan of pleasure from him. They soon after parted from the lack of oxygen, but went right back to what they were doing after a few breaths, but then suddenly the door opened.
"I was wonderi-AHHH!"
The scream made Naruto fall on his back with Sasuke on top. They quickly turned to the door where Gaara stood frozen. Gaara slowly backed out and close the door.
"Well…" Naruto sat up. "…uh…that definitely ruined the moment."
Sasuke scoffed at his attempt of making things less awkward. "Right, let's go down for dinner." He was getting up when Naruto pulled him back down. "What?"
Naruto wrapped his arms loosely around Sasuke smiling. "Nothing."
Sasuke rolled his eyes, but couldn't help the smile spreading across his face. "Come on, I'm hungry," he said in a somewhat serious voice.
Naruto pulled him down and kissed his neck. "So am I." Sasuke was about to give in when-.
Gaara popped back in, "Your secretary's on the phone," then he popped right back out.
Naruto shook his head against Sasuke's neck and sighed. They both got up and began to make their way downstairs when Naruto suddenly turned around to face him with a serious expression. "I heard every word you said," Naruto said kissing the hand then went downstairs.
Sasuke
stare after him and touched his own hand. A small, content smile
formed on his lips as he followed Naruto. 'Maybe my life isn't
so bad…'
