Hello everyone.

An Awkward date.

I hope you enjoy the chapter.


It was the day of the date and Sasuke was so excited he could barely sleep the night before so he wound up at Naruto and Kurama's house earlier than expected. Sasuke knocked on the door and Kushina answered the door.

"Hello Sasuke," Kushina said letting Sasuke in the house. Sasuke walked in nervous because now he was here for a different reason than normal. "Kurama, Sasuke's down here." Kushina screamed from the stairs.

"Do you want to eat breakfast with us?" Kushina asked.

Sasuke brightened up at the thought of eating Naruto's cooking so he nodded his head rather quickly.

"Hey man," Kurama said coming all the way down the stairs.

"Hey," Sasuke said and walked toward the kitchen with his friend.

Kurama stopped abruptly when they got to the kitchen door and almost freaked out at the sight that was supposed to be the kitchen.

"Holy shit mom, what did you do?" Kurama said at the door of the kitchen.

"Well Naruto has been out since early morning so I tried to cook pancakes for us." Kushina said looking at her son and Sasuke. "These are the ones I saved." Kushina said handing Kurama a plate of okay looking pancakes.

"What do you mean Naruto has been gone since early in the morning?" Kurama asked knowing Sasuke would want to know.

"He went to go visit your father's grave today." Kushina said in a gentle tone.

"Oh," Kurama said and walked away from the kitchen.

"Kurama, what's wrong?" Sasuke said walking up to his friend.

"Today is the anniversary of my dad's death and he went to the cemetery alone." Kurama said in a sad tone.

"And he still set up the date with me?" Sasuke asked shocked.

"Probably because he wants to balance his bad with a good memory." Kurama said and walked toward the door.

"Kurama, you're not going to eat?" Kushina yelled from the dining room.

"No thank you, mom. Come on Sasuke we got to go to the cemetery." Kurama said walking out the door. "Glad you got your car or we would have had to walk to the cemetery." Kurama said walking to Sasuke's car.

"Where is the cemetery?" Sasuke asked while getting in his car.

"The town next to Konoha, in Suna." Kurama said.

"Okay," Sasuke said and looked at his friend crazy for saying walk.

They were quiet on the drive not bothering to say anything to each other. When they finally got to the cemetery they went to Kurama's father's grave and found Naruto there. It was a sad moment and they were quiet until they heard Naruto speak and it wasn't to either of them.

"I bet your wondering why I'm here by myself this year. Well Gaara lives in the city now and now we live in Konoha where you first met ma. I wanted to talk to someone about today because I am nervous. I have this date that I will be going on in a few hours and I am not sure if it will pan out okay or not. I like my friendship with him, I guess you would already know that it's Sasuke Uchiha the boy I used to fight with when we were kids visiting Konoha. But back to what I was saying I just don't know how to feel because I know Sasuke really likes me but would if I can't give him those feelings back in return and hurt his feelings." Naruto said cleaning his father's grave and setting up new flowers.

Kurama and Sasuke were shocked by what was said but Sasuke got out of his shocked state faster than Kurama and decided to walk toward Naruto.

"Why don't you just be honest with me than, dobe?" Sasuke said walking up to Naruto and kneeling by Naruto.

Naruto looked at Sasuke with a shocked expression. "What are you doing here?" Naruto questioned and then looked around to see his brother. "Kurama, you brought him here." Naruto stated and looked away then blushed that they heard what he was thinking.

"You know I just want you to give me a chance I know you're not sure about how you feel about me. I will give you all the time in the world as long as you give me a chance to prove that I like you." Sasuke said honestly.

Naruto gave him a warm smile. "Okay Sasuke, I will give you a shot and not keep nothing from you." Naruto said with the warmest smile Sasuke has ever seen and if they weren't by a graveyard he would have kissed him. That's when the wind blew and pushed Naruto into Sasuke, making them fall over.

"I guess that's a nice way to say father approves of your decision." Kurama said chuckling.

They both had blush on them when they thought about what Kurama said to them.

"Naruto, give me the keys so I can drive home after I talk to father." Kurama said walking up to the headstone.

Naruto handed him the keys and didn't say anything just started to clean his father's headstone. Naruto prayed a little bit then stood up ready to go. Naruto gave Kurama a hug and walked toward the exit.

"Later Kurama," Sasuke said.

"Later," Kurama mumbled hiding the sadness in his eye but when they both left he started to silently cry.

Naruto got into Sasuke's car and was shocked Sasuke was in such formal clothes.

"Ready to go?" Sasuke said eyes dancing with amusement.

"Yes," Naruto said.

"Remember one thing Naruto, I don't want you to force yourself to like me." Sasuke said leaning to Naruto and kissed him softly on the lips.

Sasuke blushed and turned to start his car. If Sasuke would have looked at Naruto, he would have seen Naruto in the same shape as him. As they drove they didn't need to speak the silence was perfect to them.

"We're here," Sasuke said and looked toward the blonde and noticed he was sleeping.

Sasuke decided he wanted to have a picnic where no one would bother them. It was a secluded area at a beach people barely went too. It was a beautiful sight when it came to sunsets. Sasuke reached over to Naruto and gently woke him up.

"Where are we?" Naruto said looking around to see a beautiful view. "Sasuke, are we going swimming?" Naruto said in a cheerful tone.

"I did bring you some swim shorts if you don't mind changing in front of me." Sasuke said with a sly smirk that said he planned mischief.

"Shut up bastard," Naruto said with a scarlet blush gracing his tan skin.

Sasuke didn't expect that response from Naruto and knew he wanted to see it again.

"Let's get out dobe," Sasuke said with a warm smile.

The smile caught Naruto off guard and made his heart jump. They got out the car and Sasuke went to his trunk to pull out everything they would need for the picnic swimming date. Sasuke was oddly excited and extremely nervous.

"Have you ever been on a date before?" Sasuke asked as he gave the swim shorts to him.

"Yes I have but I was always up for something new with people." Naruto said.

"Tell me what your other dates were like?" Sasuke asked curiously.

"One time I went on a date with this one guy Ty or whatever the only thing I remember about that date was the rock climbing that I would do again." Naruto said not knowing he just walked into trouble.

"You went on dates with other guys?" Sasuke asked threw gritted teeth.

Sasuke didn't like that some other guy had the option, when Naruto didn't give him an answer right away.

"Well yeah I said yeah to everyone but no one ever kept my interest and I wasn't friends with any of them. My friend Gaara said I was very flippant about how I acted toward others. I never was friends with any of the people that asked me out so this is a new experience for me." Naruto said following after Sasuke.

"So you never had a friend to ask you out?" Sasuke asked curiously as he put his towel on the sand.

"Well yeah I did but I always declined." Naruto said turning his head to not look at Sasuke.

Sasuke paused what he was doing because he wasn't sure if what he heard was his mind playing tricks on him.

"What?" Sasuke asked.

"You're the first friend that I actually agreed to go on a date with." Naruto answered honestly with a slight blush on his face.

Sasuke was so happy that he didn't hear wrong. Then he noticed Naruto was already starting to change into his swim shorts and he decided he should change too. Naruto was the first one dressed because he obviously started before him so he ran to the water not even looking back at Sasuke. Sasuke found that irritating but then he liked the view of Naruto running away from him with the Uchiha symbol on his ass because the shorts were his. Sasuke felt like he was stating a claim on the blonde. Naruto didn't seem to notice the symbol or just didn't care to say something about it.

"Oh I hope I don't ruin this because of my libido." Sasuke mumbled after he finished and ran after Naruto.

"Sasuke, let's have a race to see who can hold their breath under the water the longest whoever wins can ask the other a question and they have to be honest." Naruto suggested.

"I'm up for it just don't get mad when I win." Sasuke said.

"Whatever bastard, on the count of three. One, two, three." Naruto said.

They both went into the water and it went like that for about a minute before Sasuke came up first. Naruto followed after he noticed Sasuke was above water again.

"I win! So, what should I ask you?" Naruto pondered.

"Go ahead and ask anything." Sasuke said.

"Fine, when did you realize you were gay? And how did you realize it?" Naruto asked.

"That's two questions, I will only answer the first one so save the second one for future reference." Sasuke said smirking.

"Oh come on, you could at least answer them both." Naruto complained but nodded his head for Sasuke to continue.

"I realized I liked guys when I was in middle school. The last year, I won't tell you anything else." Sasuke said splashing Naruto in his face.

"You suck bastard," Naruto said getting the water out his eyes and splashing Sasuke back.

"True," Sasuke said smirking as Naruto blushed.

"What do you want to know about me?" Naruto asked.

"Why have you never gone out with anyone?" Sasuke asked.

"Honestly," Naruto paused looking up at the sky. "Was never interested in anyone enough to give them the time of day." Naruto said.

That brought up more questions that Sasuke wanted to ask.

"Then why are you on a date with me?" Sasuke asked.

"No, no Sasuke I won't be answering that question." Naruto mimicked.

Sasuke just glared at the blonde using his own sentence against him.

"Fine ask me something," Sasuke asked.

"How did you realize that you were gay?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke wasn't getting out of it this time Naruto was sure on that.

"I never told anyone this so don't tell anyone and I want something for telling you this." Sasuke said.

"What do you want?" Naruto asked.

"You can decide that after I tell you how I found out that I liked guys. See when I was younger I was curious as to why I was never interested in girls so I watched a porno and wasn't interested in it at all. Seeing as I felt confused I decided dumbly to tell my older brother my concerns and he told me that I might like guys. But me being me rejecting the idea seeing as I didn't and wasn't interested in no one around me so he gave me a gay porno and I watched it and got hard from it. It was so embarrassing going back to my brother to give him back his porn. I was entirely crushed by the new findings so I decided I wanted to explore the theory and I did. I had sex with a guy and I liked it but I don't think I will ever bottom again." Sasuke explained.

Naruto was in shock.

"Not a word of this to anyone Naruto. NOT ONE WORD!" Sasuke demanded making sure Naruto understood.

"Of course," Naruto said quickly.

"What is my prize now?" Sasuke asked eyebrow rising as he looked at the nervous blonde.

Naruto already agreeing to it decided that Sasuke just opened up giving him such a huge secret so he thought maybe he should give one to him in exchange.

"I have a story for you. You can tell me if it was good enough for the secret you given me after I tell it. If it isn't I will give you something else." Naruto said.

"Sure, it has to be something no one knows about that's only fair." Sasuke said.

"Well my father and Gaara know about it but Gaara lives in the city and my father is dead so I think it's a secret." Naruto said.

"Okay go ahead," Sasuke said swimming around for a little bit.

"I had sex with a girl that my brother liked. I would never have sex with one of his girlfriends but I did have sex with a girl he liked. It was actually a three-some with Gaara." Naruto said putting his head down.

Sasuke didn't expect that was going to be said not in a million years. Naruto had sex. Naruto had sex with a girl his brother liked. What?

"Okay, time out. You had sex with a girl your brother had a crush on?" Sasuke asked shocked by this development.

"She wasn't good for my brother. Just a groupie girl that hung around the basketball team. It just happened two years before we came here. I didn't want to tell him and didn't see the need to because he got into another relationship. Honestly, if I think about it clearly he probably already knew about me having sex with her that's probably why he wasn't interested in her anymore. I ignored that girl after that. I am sure she still stalks Gaara to this very day." Naruto said proudly toward the end as he pondered his conclusion.

"Oh my god, that was worse than mine. Shit I think I might owe you another story." Sasuke said chuckling.

"I will settle for you answering a question I want to ask you." Naruto said.

Sasuke came back from putting his hair in the water. "What is it?" Sasuke asked.

"When did you start liking me for me?" Naruto asked.

"I guess when we first met I liked you because your attractive. But now it's more than that... honestly, I can't quite put my finger on when I liked you more. I think it was when you opened up to me about performing. One thing that keeps coming back to my mind was when we were practicing for the performance and we kissed in the piano room it seemed to be the first time I ever got butterflies and became nervous over the situation." Sasuke said.

"That explains you running out." Naruto said chuckling after he got a glare from Naruto.

"Shut up dobe," Sasuke said through gritted teeth deciding to attack Naruto.

"Ahh... Sasuke stop." Naruto screamed trying to swim away from Sasuke.

Naruto tried to swim to shore so he didn't have to be caught but Sasuke caught him at the point of shallow water getting on top of Naruto to fight with him.

"Damn," Naruto said fighting back but his limbs were still in the water.

Sasuke pinned Naruto's arms above his head. "Pinned you," Sasuke said panting because fighting with Naruto was a struggle.

It didn't last long though because Naruto flipped them over but toward the water.

"DAMN YOU NARUTO!" Sasuke said as he came back to the surface but he didn't see Naruto.

He looked around for a while then got dragged by his feet down below in the water. Naruto swam up Sasuke pushing him into a rock. Sasuke was starting to not be able to breath seeing as he didn't have the chance to get any air to begin with so Naruto let him go and swam up after him. Sasuke was ready when Naruto got back up and he flipped their positions putting Naruto against the rock and pinning him again.

"You have a serious pinning fetish." Naruto commented as Sasuke stared at Naruto from his eyes down his body.

"Maybe," Sasuke said with a smirk. "I wonder are you ticklish." Sasuke said breaking his smirk to give Naruto a small smile.

"NO, no, no, no, I'm not. Of course I'm not. Why would I be?" Naruto said nervously shaking his head.

"I think you are." Sasuke said and went to tickle Naruto.

Naruto moved wildly on Sasuke and that was becoming a problem but all Sasuke had to think about was something else and he was fine. Naruto thrashed and continued to laugh putting his arms around Sasuke's neck pulling him closer non intentionally. Sasuke felt his face heating up and all he wanted to do was kiss Naruto. When he felt like he couldn't take it anymore he stopped tickling Naruto to see if Naruto would notice their positions and try to move away. He wanted to know if Naruto would knowingly reject him being this close to him. Naruto opened his beautiful blue eyes and looked into Sasuke's dark eyes and didn't speak, he did notice how they were positioned but still didn't say anything. Sasuke couldn't hold off much longer, he was just hoping Naruto would have pushed him away but that wasn't the case. Sasuke licked his lips but he also noticed that Naruto followed his tongue and he couldn't hold it no more he put his hands into his hair and kissed him. Naruto seemed rather hesitant at first but then he got into it too. Sasuke was scared when Naruto lifted his arms off his shoulders because he thought Naruto was going to push him away but was shocked that Naruto put one hand in his hair and the other one was wrapped around his neck. Sasuke couldn't believe it he was kissing the person he was pursuing for the past couple months.

Sasuke found himself sighing into the kiss. He probably was enjoying it a little too much especially because he didn't know where this was going to leave him and Naruto.

'Fuck that for now,' Sasuke thought.

Sasuke pulled away after a few minutes of kissing. Sasuke looked at Naruto and dived into kissing him all over again. But these kisses weren't gentle and they were both getting rather aggressive with each other. Naruto managed to turn them around and started to lead the kiss shocking Sasuke. Sasuke gasped when he felt Naruto bite his lip. The feeling of Naruto's tongue in Sasuke's mouth felt absolutely amazing to him. But this time Naruto pulled away.

"I'm sorry I don't know what came over me." Naruto said panting.

Sasuke was really turned on but not trying to step on no land mines going to the next step.

"Would you like to go eat are food?" Naruto asked and Sasuke nodded quickly.

They ate in silence for the first couple minutes until their hands rubbed against each other.

"Where do we stand, Naruto?" Sasuke asked finally. He needed to know no matter how scared he was by the response.

"I..." Naruto started as he looked at Sasuke that happened to be looking at anything but him. "I want to go on a few more dates with you. I think I like you. Not as much as you like me but I know I like you." Naruto said.

Sasuke didn't give him another chance to speak he tackled him to the ground and kissed him.

"You made a smart choice. And you won't regret it either." Sasuke said looking down at Naruto.

"So... does this mean we're dating?" Naruto asked.

"Yes it does, no flirting with anyone for now on." Sasuke said smacking Naruto on his wrist making Naruto laugh.

Sasuke liked that laugh it made him comfortable and it made him want Naruto a lot more. Sasuke didn't know this date with get them dating but he was glad it did.
