Naruto was annoyed. Okay, annoyed wasn't the correct term for his feelings now. Enraged, aggravated, stressed, irate. Yes, those worked much better.
For the past few weeks, Naruto's had a prickly feeling as if he were being stalked. Normally, he would've dealt with the person by now, but he knew who it was and was hoping that it was just a case of the "I want to drive you up the wall with my stares and stalkage yo.", but after week three passed, it was obvious it wasn't going to stop any time soon.
So now, he stood in the training area waiting for his stalker to show up so he could confront him. Glaring at a rock, he tapped his foot impatiently on the ground with his arms crossed.
Where is he?
"Oi, dobe."
Naruto whirled around. "YOU!" It was more of a screech than a yell.
Sasuke was taken back by this unexpected noise and held an ear. "Ow! Baka! What the hell was that for?"
"You deserve it for stalking me!"
Naruto watched the Uchiha's expression shift from shock, to worry, to anger, and then to annoyance. Finally, he saw the face settle for its usual expression of that of a brick wall and saw the mouth open. "Stalk you? Please, why would I want to—"
"You've. Been. Stalking. Me." Naruto prodded his chest with a finger. He saw the boy's eyebrow twitch. "I've seen you in the bushes watching me. I've seen you in the trees outside of my apartment, and for crying out loud I've caught you outside of the public bathroom when I'm in there! It's rather unnerving, bastard. I want you to tell me why the hell you've been following me."
"I have—"
"Let's skip the three hours of arguing on whether you have or haven't and just tell me." Naruto narrowed his eyes dangerously.
For the first time in history, Sasuke fidgeted. His eyes wandered to the ground, his fore fingers rubbing together in a Hinata fashion. His forehead began to shine with a sheet of sweat and his face began to redden.
"Well, I was—I mean I—I was making sure you didn't get hurt." He instantly hid his face behind his bangs.
"Che, right." Sasuke's face came up in disbelief, once again a first in history Naruto noted. "You've never done that before. Besides, why start three weeks ago? Eh?" Naruto smirked. "You're hiding something. Tell me."
The Uchiha sighed, brushing a hand through his hair. Lifting up that same hand, he waved it slightly. "You want the truth?"
"That would be nice."
"Okay, I'll give you the truth." Sasuke marched up to Naruto, grabbed his chin, holding it in place as he placed a kiss on the boy's lips before walking past him. "If you can't figure out the truth from that, you're one dense ninja, Naruto."
Naruto blinked, felt his lips before whirling around to chase down the bastard and chew his ass out for not telling him sooner.
