"Oh my god oh my god oh my god" Sasuke's head repeated these words excessively; his brain was spinning out of astonishment. "I can't believe I just let him do that... HIM! A BOY?" "Fuck fuck fuck fuck" he repeated "Okay, calm down, it's not all bad, I mean it could be worse right? Naruto is... Someone special right? I can trust him and... and...! Ugh! Whatever, I just need to go home! I'll go to the store, pick up some drinks for everyone later... and then go back to Naruto's place..." If Sasuke's face could get any redder he'd be amazed.

"Wow... I can't believe I just did that..." Naruto said whilst splashing cold water on his face. "What was with that reaction though? He seemed so timid..." He thought to himself "Oh... Could he be a virgin? No way, him? The boy who could have anyone he wanted and he's a virgin?! Oh wow am I gonna tease him about this!" Naruto couldn't control his sniggers "he's like 20 too haha!" the blond stopped laughing for a second to realise that Sasuke was 20, today in fact. "Shit, today's his birthday, that's what this was all about! I haven't even said happy birthday yet, no one has!" Naruto slumped "I'm a terrible friend... What am I gonna do now?! It's way too late to do something right?" Naruto then remembered that it wasn't too late, actually there was already a celebration going on today, he just had to re-arrange a few details.

"Sakura-Chan!" Naruto moaned at his phone.

"Naruto? What's up?" the pink haired girl responded.

"Today's Sasuke's birthday! Did you know? What're we gonna do?!"

"Actually I did know, what kind of friend doesn't remember their friend's birthday?! Coma or not, me and Ino still bought Sasuke a few things, Shikamaru even got a card if you can believe that!"

Haha... I feel like you just called me a bad friend... Naruto sighed to himself

"W-well, make sure everyone whose coming tonight knows! And I'll see you there I guess! Bye Sakura-chan."

"Okay, bye Naruto!"

As Naruto put his phone away he wondered what he could do for Sasuke. "Maybe I could buy him something? Ah, but I have no money... hmmm... make him something? Cook him something? A cake? I could make him a birthday cake? Ah but I heard he doesn't like sweet things..." Naruto thought hard about what he could do for his friend, a little annoyed that Sasuke was so fussy. "Ahh! If this was me he could just buy me some ramen and that would be fine!"

Knock knock~

Naruto ended his mini freak out and answered the door, to find his elderly neighbour Akio holding his fiery orange cat. "Oh Naruto dear, I saw your fox trying to get in your home but I don't think there was a window open for it to get in!" She stated as she handed over the animal "Granny it isn't a fox it's a cat, but thanks, that doesn't usually doesn't stop him..." he said "You really shouldn't keep wild animals you know Naruto, they can be dangerous" she said, ignoring Naruto's previous statement. "Kyuubi wouldn't hurt anyone! H-hey and he's not a wild animal!" "Oh by the way dear, how's your friend doing? The one who was in hospital?" the old woman questioned. "How did you know he was out of the hospital? He only came out today?" Naruto bemused. "Thin walls you know? I heard his voice obviously!" she proclaimed. Just how much can you hear through these walls, granny? "Ah... I see, he's fine really, the nurses said he may feel a bit fatigued and weak but that's normal." "Ah! Wait here, I have something for you!" Akio suddenly flew out of Naruto's doorway in a way the elderly shouldn't move. "That woman has too much energy..." Naruto thought to himself.

"Here!" the woman handed Naruto what seemed to be the early stages of a tomato plant.

"What's this for?" he questioned. "Why it's a tomato plant! Tomatoes are an important part of anyone's diet! They contain essential vitamins, as well as antioxidants and potassium! This'll take care of your friend, they'll make him live longer too!" she exclaimed.

"Is that so? I wonder if he likes tomatoes...?" the blond whispered.

"Plants are good for the mind! Not like all these TV's and electronic devices! This won't only help that boy physically, but mentally too!" she huffed. "Ah, well if that's the case I'll definitely give it to him! Thanks granny, you're a life saver!" the boy grinned as he gestured goodbye to the old woman, and closed the door.

"I really hope this'll work! It's not like I've got anything else to give him, right Kyuubi?" Naruto looked at his companion, still holding the plant in his hands. "Meeeow!" the feline responded, causing Naruto to chuckle.

Sasuke walked up to the small convenience store and walked through the automatic doors grabbing a basket on the way past. As he walked down the aisle he grabbed a few necessities, such as snacks, and some alcoholic drinks. SMASH~ Sasuke jumped as he heard a glass bottle hit the hard floor, he turned his head around quickly and was relieved to know that it was at the other end of the aisle and that he didn't do it, however there was no one there, so he didn't really know why it fell, nevertheless he brushed it off, sometimes things just fall, and someone will come and clean it up soon.

The raven haired boy proceeded to the checkout to purchase his items for this evening, he pulled out his wallet, put his card into the machine then the cashier handed him his bagged items and he left the shop. Sasuke slowly made his way back to Naruto's place, thankful that the weather had cleared up a bit from earlier and the rain had stopped. "I'm starting to feel a bit tired... Heh, well I did just wake up from a coma, that's no surprise... I'll just sit down for a bit" Sasuke proceeded towards the nearest bench and took a short break, next to him there was a young man already sat, he wore thick glasses and dressed abnormally, Sasuke thought he looked a bit odd.

"It's a lovely day, don't you think?" The odd man spoke

"Huh? Uh, yeah sure" Sasuke replied, the man's words took him off guard. A nice day? It's horrible out! I knew this man was a bit strange just from looking at him... Sasuke thought to himself

"You seem a little worn out, something wrong?" He spoke again

"No I'm fine, just catching my breath, thanks." The sooner Sasuke caught his breath, the sooner he could get away from this weirdo.

"I didn't catch your name." The man said

"Sasuke, and yours?" he replied, although he didn't get an answer.

"That's an interesting name, Sasuke. Very interesting indeed, heh." The man uttered, the way he spoke gave Sasuke Goosebumps, and although he hadn't fully replenished his strength he didn't care, he just wanted to move on from this weirdo. "Well, I'd better get going; it was nice to meet you, haha... Bye" Sasuke said as he slowly walked away, fastening his pace.

"Nice to meet you indeed... Sasuke Uchiha, see you soon." The odd person smirked as he stood up and walked away leisurely.
