Chapter 11: Sparks Fly and Love Reborn

"I love you, Sasuke," Naruto said in a quiet, gently voice.

Sasuke stood there making the Blonde to worry that he might have pushed the Raven to far by doing that.

"I-I sor-," Naruto was interrupted by Sasuke jumping on him with his arms wrapped around him, pressing his lips against the tanned lips of his lover.

Naruto's eyes widen before slowly closes them to continue the kiss. Sasuke slipped his tongue out of his mouth to lick Naruto's lips, asking for entrance. Naruto opened his mouth, letting Sasuke to slip his tongue inside the Blonde's open mouth. Their tongues started to move in a rhythm like an exotic dance. As the kiss becomes deeper, Sasuke's arms started to move to embrace the Blonde closer to himself with one hand slipped under Naruto's shirt to be place in the middle of his back at the same time, Naruto embraces Sasuke with one of his hands fisting in Sasuke's dark hair. Finally they separated; a small string of saliva was seen, connecting between the two lovers.

Both breathing heavily, Sasuke took his time to look at Naruto. Naruto, his lips swollen from the kiss, his cheeks lightly dusted pink, and his eyes full of lust and passion are lazily half open, look so beautiful in Sasuke's eyes. Leaning closer to Naruto, Sasuke lightly kissed Naruto's lips before resting his head against the crook of the Blonde's neck with his eyes closed. Silences had fallen between the two lovers, enjoying each other's company for a little while longer. After awhile, that silence was broken by sob between the two.

"I'm… I'm sorry Naruto, for everything that happened to you," Sasuke said with tears running down his cheeks. The guilt and sadness that was building up inside of Sasuke broke open in waves as he tightens his grip on Naruto, afraid of losing him again. "Sorry Naruto, for hurting you. I am so sorry," as he continued to cry on Naruto's shoulder.

Naruto was shocked at Sasuke's actions. He had never seen the Raven apologizes or even sheds tears before. So seeing the Sasuke Uchiha, the ice prince, the man with no emotion, crying like his heart was broken brought tears to Naruto's eyes. Before he could stop himself, Naruto started to cry along with Sasuke as guilt from running away and pretended to be asleep when Sasuke was in the same room was beginning to overwhelm him.

"M-me too, Sasuke; I'm sorry Sasuke, I'm really sorry," Naruto sobbed out as he clutched Sasuke tighter than before.

Another moment of silences had fallen on the duo as they hold each other close, crying into each other's arms. After a while as the tears were stopped flowing and dried up and cries had become softer, Sasuke lifted his head up to look at Naruto, his eyes red from crying. Taking a deep breath, Sasuke begin to start talk.

"Naruto, I'm sorry for yelling at you. I was stupid for saying those to you and hurting your feels. I wish that I can take them back, but I know that I can't. All I can do is to apologize for what I did in hope you can forgive me and I hope that you would forgive me," Sasuke said, his voice cracked from crying.

Naruto looked at Sasuke before lowering his head down, his bangs hanging over his eyes. Guilt was really eating him now for putting Sasuke through all that. He wishes he could take it back if he could. Taking a deep breath, he too started to talk.

"Sasuke, I'm sorry for running away after our fight. I was the stupid one for getting myself in trouble when I left the village and getting hurt because of it. I should have just stayed in the village to fix it, but I didn't. I'm also sorry for not having enough courage to face you when I first woke up in the hospital. I was scared of what reaction you will show when I woke up. I am so sorry, Sasuke," Naruto said, tears gathering in his eyes.

Sasuke's eyes widen and his heart tightens when Naruto told him this.

'He was wake all this time? Why didn't I notice this?' Sasuke thought as he looked at the Blonde.

But he understands why Naruto did that. He knew that the Blonde would be scared of him. He wishes that he can take all that fear from his lover and replace it with love, but in order to do that, he has to make up for what he did.

"Naruto, I forgive you for what you did. Anyone would have done the same thing that you did. I love you Naruto. I hope you know that," Sasuke said with a gentle smile on his face.

Naruto lifted his head to look at Sasuke when he told him this. Slowly a smile started to spread across his face. He was happy that Sasuke was not angry with him, instead he was smiling at him with love in his midnight eyes.

"Sasuke, I forgive you. I love you too much to stay mad at you. Even if you don't love me anymore, I will always love you, Sasuke," Naruto said quietly.

Sasuke's eyes started to tear up when Naruto said this. This is way he loved Naruto, because his heart was so forgiving and so kind that his heart started to swell up with love. He wished that he could show Naruto that he stilled love him, more then they first started out. Suddenly, he remembered something that could help him with this and started to dig into his pocket for the object. Naruto raised an eyebrow at this.

'What is Sasuke looking for?' Naruto thought when Sasuke found what he was looking for with big eyes that sparkled with joy.

Slowly he pulled the object out of his pocket. It was the object that he found on the cliff that day that he found Naruto, alone and unconscious. It was a locket with a picture of the two of them embracing each other with love in their eyes. Sasuke gently placed the locket around Naruto's neck and lightly kissed his lips before he pulled away to look into Naruto's bright blue eyes.

"I love you, Naruto," Sasuke said quietly.

Naruto looked into Sasuke's deep midnight eyes before he smiled a gentle smile.

"I love you too, Sasuke," Naruto said quietly.
