Naruto swung their hands, grinning, as the two of them walked down the sidewalk. Sasuke chuckled softly and led Naruto to the park while Naruto happily bounced next to him. Sasuke smiled at him as they entered the park. Naruto brightened up as he saw the playground.

Sasuke noticed. "Wanna swing?" Naruto nodded. "Ok, let's go." Sasuke led him over to the swings. Once there, Naruto sat on an empty swing and Sasuke sat down next to him. Naruto swung lightly. Sasuke swung a little bit, his head lowered, eyes focused on the sand.

"You know, it'll be nice living in a world which has no pain."

Sasuke blinked before turning his head to Naruto. He thought for a moment before replying. "A world like that will never exist..."

"I know. Pain helps us shape who we are today."

"Yea..."

Naruto grinned brightly at him. "Its fine though~." Sasuke nodded, shifting his eyes back to the sand. "Are you okay?" Sasuke nodded. "You sure?"

Sasuke raised his head and looked up to the sky. "He killed me inside Naruto..."

"How...?"

Sasuke sighed. "He took everything I gave him for granted... I loved him with every fiber in my body and soul and he lied to me... He used me... and thought I would never suspect a thing..."

"He's stupid...."

"I'm the one who's stupid... I let him use me..."

"You didn't know... Its not your fault."

Sasuke put his face in his hands. "I should have known... it was so obvious... but he said he loved me... i believed him... i'm so stupid."

"He shouldn't have done that to you."

"I know... but i can't help but wonder why i wasn't enough..." He sighed and looked back up at the sky. "I gave him everything that i could..."

"He didn't deserve it..."

He glanced at the blonde, gathering his emotions back together. "What do you mean?"

"He doesn't deserve anything from you if he hurt you so much... a rose should be treated with care, you just don't rip off all the petals and watch it die."

Sasuke sat up straight and started at the blonde. "That was..." He shook his head, smiling softly. "I know you're right..."

Naruto grinned brightly at him. "I'm glad you think so."

Sasuke rubbed a hand over his face. "Sorry about how i acted... I just... was not expecting to see Deidara."

"Its okay." Naruto rested his head against the chain. "Just don't hurt me." He smiled.

"I know what it feels like to be hurt badly... I would never do that to someone else."

"Good!"

Sasuke gave him a smile before returning his eyes to the ground. Naruto laughed softly, swinging higher. Sasuke smiled at him, watching. Naruto grinned brightly at the sky.

"How can you be so happy all the time?"

"I just don't think about the bad things!"

Sasuke shrugged. "Easier said then done... how do you do it?"

"I think happy thoughts and write all the bad down~"

"What if you have no happy thoughts?"

"There's always happy thoughts, just haven't found them yet." Naruto smiled at him.

Sasuke thought for a moment. "I'm happy when i'm near you... does that count?"

"Of course! I'm very happy when im near you!"

He blinked. "Really?"

"Yep~."

He blushed softly. "What exactly does that mean then?"

"I like you a lot!"

"Then I suppose I like you a lot as well."

"You suppose?"

"I'm not good with... emotions."

"Oh..."

"Don't get me wrong... I do like you. I wouldn't be with you if i didn't."

"Ah, okay." Naruto grinned. "I understand."

Sasuke smiled. "Good." Naruto giggled softly, happy. "I'm glad I can make you happy."

"We should really consider getting married together."

He blinked. "What?"

"Lets get married~!"

"Have you lost your mind?

"......not that i know of?"

"We've only known each other about a month and been dating for a day and you want to get married?"

"I'm just kidding~." Naruto teased.

Sasuke sighed. "You scared me there."

"How so?"

"I thought you were serious and that you had a more fucked up mind then me." Naruto laughed and Sasuke chuckled softly. Naruto grinned at him while Sasuke smiled and swung a bit. Naruto swung up a bit higher. Sasuke kicked his feet, watching Naruto. Naruto looked up at the sky as he swung, lost in thought.
