Jiraiya was humming happily as he entered the home he shared with his beloved foster son. Lately, Naruto had been so happy, and the man was more than thrilled for that. The fact that he got his first boyfriend so soon was amazing.

"W-wait…"

Jiraiya was about to enter the living room, but halted when he heard some noises. He had been sure there was no at home. With careful steps, he peeked through the doorframe. He spotted the familiar mass of golden hair, along the onyx hair he came to see a lot of lately.

"The old man won't be here till later, it's fine," he heard Naruto say. Taking a closer look, he found Naruto sitting on the couch with Sasuke seated on his lap. Their chests were touching, and lips tightly locked as tongues visibly rubbed against each other.

They were 'secretly' making out in his home, huh… Jiraiya rolled his eyes, and decided to stop peeking when Naruto slid his hands inside the tight black pants of his boyfriend. He left the house humming on a song, deciding to not interrupt the lovebirds.

"Must be nice to be young!"

"Naruto... are you still mad at me?" Kiba questioned, leaning against the wall as he watched Naruto help Menma put on his boots. The blonde spared the brunette a side-glance and shrugged.

"No. What's done is done," he sighed.

Kiba frowned deeply, not very convinced. "I already said I'm sorry for fucking your ex. Why can't we just forget about it? It's not like he hasn't whored around with others. I really want us to be friends again," he took a step forward.

With a bored look on his face, Naruto rose on his feet and rested a hand on his hip. "First of all, don't talk like that when there are kids around, you of all should know that. Second, I already said forget about it. I am not gonna stay mad at you."

Kiba looked genuinely happy to hear that, even though a part of him felt regretful. Naruto did not pay him further attention, he went back to dress Menma with his jacket.

"Daddy, Sasuke-nii said he was going to be with us this evening. Is that true?" The boy asked, blue eyes sparkling innocently with hope. Naruto gave him a side-smile, still not understanding how Menma came to love his ex-boyfriend so much. At the same time, it was understandable. Sasuke could be the sweetest and most genuine person at times. Naruto knew that very well.

Sasuke had surprisingly agreed to spend some time with him and Menma. Naruto had been over the moon when the raven haired said he did not mind. That meant that there truly was a chance for him to be back in his life. Naruto was prepared to be a really good friend for Sasuke, and even though it would be hard, he could do it. Jumping into a friendship like that could only end badly if they did not take it slowly.

The two had damaged each other greatly, after all.

"Yes it is," Naruto whispered, stroking his son's cheek lovingly. "In fact, I am just waiting for his shift to end. He said he would finish the time I pick you up, so we could walk home together," he explained as he helped his boy put on his small backpack.

"I'm so happy!" Menma grinned, jumping around in joy. Naruto shook his head amused, but not long after started looking towards the staff room. Sasuke sure was taking his time. He decided to just check if everything was alright, and headed towards the door where he knew Sasuke was.

Naruto had just approached the door when it opened and a certain raven haired stormed out. Sasuke gasped when he bumped into Naruto's chest, and the blonde almost lost balance but quickly maintained it.

"Careful there," he grinned.

Sasuke was half-way leaning on him, brows knitted. "Why the hell were you standing in my way? I told you to wait over there," he hissed and pushed Naruto away. Menma, who had followed after his father, jumped straight into Sasuke's arms to hug him.

"We're going to have so much fun!" He squealed. The Uchiha picked him up slightly and put on a gentle mask. That was how he always was with children. Naruto stared at the scene silently for a moment, admiring how... fitting Menma looked in Sasuke's arms.

The way his boy looked at Sasuke, with so much admiration and love, it was heart warming. With their matching hair colors, one could almost believe they were related. If Naruto had not known any better, it almost looked like Menma could have been their son.

Okay. That's going too far, Naruto! Remember, we are "friends"... Whatever we had in the past cannot be repeated. Wake up!

"Ready to go, dobe?" Sasuke smirked, already one step ahead with Menma holding his one hand. Naruto blinked at him, then rolled his eyes playfully.

"Are we back to these names now, teme?" He quickly caught up with them and walked next to Menma.

"So... what do you want to do?" Naruto asked, nervously closing the door behind him after letting the two others enter. He felt a certain nervous knot coil in his stomach, but there was a hint of excitement involved too. Naruto had invited Sasuke to hang out in his house. He thought that was a simple and acceptable way for them to talk and maybe get to know each other better already.

After all, they had hung out together in the past, like, a lot of times. What could possibly go wrong?

Sasuke removed his shoes, eyes glued to the bright sapphire ones. "I don't know? You invited me over, smartass," he smirked.

Naruto raised an amused brow, resting a hand on his hip as he stretched out the other. "Give me your jacket." Sasuke got up on his sock clad feet, hesitating for a moment at the smug look on the blonde's face, but carefully peeled the jacket off his shoulders nonetheless and handed it to Naruto.

He hung the jacket in one of the hooks attached to the wall. Sasuke just rolled his eyes and entered the living room. Naruto took the chance to gently run his fingers through the fabric of the raven's jacket, and daringly leaned in so his nose touched the collar. It smelt amazingly like Sasuke, his scent was utterly enticing.

"Are you coming or not, dobe?" Naruto jumped slightly upon hearing the raven's call, and quickly stepped out of his own shoes and jacket. When he entered the living room, he found Sasuke already seated, cross-legged with Menma clinging to him adorably.

"Daddy! You're the best for letting Sasuke stay over, I'm sooo happy!" The boy squealed, jumping in the older male's lap. Sasuke just hugged him from behind and cupped his small face with one hand, making him look up to meet his eyes.

"What do you wanna do, Menma?" Sasuke asked, gaze landing on Naruto for a brief second when he took a seat next to them. The boy's pupils dilated, and he smiled brightly.

"I just wanna be with you!" He exclaimed.

Naruto loved how well the two got along. It was a bit weird, seeing Sasuke turn into a totally different person when he was around kids. But it was a new side of him Naruto came to really like, and the Uchiha gets easier to be around too.

The last hour the three spent together. The two adults had to admit it was a bit awkward and uncomfortable at times, but they spent most of the time just playing with Menma. Sasuke knew a lot of fun games to play, since he worked with children, and Naruto enjoyed seeing the raven so relaxed.

"Oooh~ I want to play another game!" Menma said after a while. They had been playing a guessing game, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed. All of them were comfortably seated on the couch, with Menma between the adults.

"Yes, honey?"

Menma jumped up and took one of Sasuke's hands and one of his father's, and dragged them up to stand. "I want to play hide and seek!" He jumped up and down excited.

Sasuke and Naruto looked at each other briefly, before the blonde laughed. "Actually, that sounds really fun, doesn't it?" he looked at the raven.

"Um... sure," Sasuke ran his fingers through his hair. The atmosphere was so light and comforting, he was willing to play anything at the moment. It was really fun, if he had to admit, being with the two.

"Hurray! Okay, you two hide while I count!" Menma smiled, pushing the two away. Before the two males got to say anything else, the little boy had already started counting. Naruto just shrugged amused at Sasuke while the raven tried not to smile.

"One... Two..." As Menma was counting, Sasuke tried to look for a really good place to hide. There was no way he was going to lose to Naruto. Even though he did not know his ex-boyfriend's house very well, it was not big either so he found the blonde's bedroom quite fast.

Sasuke could still hear Menma counting, and he knew he was near finish, so he quickly got inside the first place he saw, which was Naruto's closet. He was surprised at the amount of space there was, and not very surprised at the untidiness of it. He could not shake the tingly feeling he got inside at the thought of being in Naruto's bedroom... inside his closet.

Just when he closed the door, he heard someone else entering the bedroom. The sounds of Menma's counting could still be heard, so it had to be the blonde. Sasuke cursed silently, and before he knew it, the closet door opened and Naruto looked behind him as he as well entered in the closet.

"What the-"

"Hey, get the hell out!" Sasuke whisper-yelled, gasping slightly when the weight of Naruto pressed him further in the closet.

Naruto was about to exit, but Menma had stopped counting. He quickly closed the door again and put his palm in front of the raven's lips. "Shh... Let's see if he can find us here," he whispered with a grin.

Sasuke glared and wanted to push his palm away, but his own arms were trapped as Naruto leaned on him. The blonde had one thigh between his own, their chests were touching, and the whole situation was endlessly uncomfortable.

They heard small steps run around the house, and both kept quiet. When Naruto still had not removed his hand, Sasuke decided to take drastic measures and licked gently over his palm. The blonde was so surprised by the soft touch that he almost jumped. The movement made their crotches rub and both boys felt their face heat up.

"You moron, this was my hiding place!" Sasuke tried to squirm away from the pressure in his groin, but that only ended up with them creating more friction. Naruto knew they had to stop moving, or else Menma might see them when he enters the bedroom.

"Keep still," he whispered and leaned further down, breathing slightly over the fair-skinned male's neck. Sasuke gaped in disbelief, but decided to keep quiet and see what happens. This situation was torturous, but the raven knew Menma would be really disappointed if they ended the game. So he coped.

When Naruto noticed his ex-lover was not paying attention, he took some time to just look at him. It was quite dark, but he could still see the defined outlines of Sasuke's face. His neck, cheek, chin and nose. His eyes, lips, forehead, chest... Naruto admired every feature.

Sasuke was enveloped in Naruto's scent. His clothes were surrounding him, he was surrounding him. He felt dizzy from the aura, it was comforting and... a bit arousing. He then turned his head to meet Naruto, and found himself face to face with him.

Their breaths hitched when they became aware of the intimacy. Naruto had to admit there was nothing innocent with their current position. They were pressed so intimately against each other, and the blonde felt guilty for almost having a hard on. He could not help it.

There was a single second where Naruto considered pushing his stubbornness aside and just kiss Sasuke. But quickly shook off the idea, his face burning with shame. This was not how things worked. He could not have such thoughts about his ex-boyfriend, while his own son was playing an innocent game with them.

He could not destroy the second chance Sasuke miraculously decided to give him. He would never break the raven's trust. They agreed to be friends.

They could be friends. Naruto convinced himself.

"Found ya!"

The two males yelped in a very unmanly way when the closet doors opened and they stumbled out of the closet. Menma was smiling proudly at the two adults, who had been caught off guard completely.

"I won!" Menma clapped with his hands, and a wide grin played his lips. Naruto unhooked Sasuke's leg that was around his hip and rose on his feet. He picked up his boy and let him sit on his shoulders.

"Damn right you did, we lost completely," Naruto laughed with him, having a good grip on his legs as he danced around with him. Sasuke was still on the floor, on his elbows as he watched the scene in front of him. "Do you guys want to eat soon? I'm starving!"

"Yeah!" Menma agreed.

"Come on, Sasuke," Naruto smiled at the onyx haired, who just stared at him emotionlessly. He got on his feet and brushed the dust off his sleeves.

"And... what are you going to make?" He asked, following Naruto with crossed arms. The blonde bit his bottom lip.

"I thought we'd order out instead... You don't really wanna taste my cooking," he explained, rubbing the back of his neck. Sasuke chuckled amused and rolled his eyes.

"That is completely true. But you don't have to order out, if you have some stuff in the kitchen, we can make something out of it. Besides, I'm sure your son is sick of eating junk already," the older male stated, stopping right outside the kitchen doorframe.

Naruto halted, his boy still on his shoulders. Menma seemed to agree with the idea, and he knew his face must have reddened at the request. "We...?"

Sasuke sighed irritated and let himself in the kitchen. He looked behind his shoulder, raising both brows as a gesture to follow him. Naruto tightened his grip around Menma, feeling his heartbeat increase for some reason, before he entered as well.

"You don't mind, right?" Sasuke felt the need that he at least had to ask for permission, even though the rude side of his personality hated it. Naruto quickly shook his head after putting his toddler down.

"O-of course not," he smiled, standing with one arm leaning against the counter top. Sasuke spared him a side-glance, before looking through the cupboards. The blonde did have a lot of ordinary essential foods one would find in an average Japanese home. Rice, soy, noodles, pork, fish stock powder, pan ko, shrimp and other things. There was also a huge stock of sake and candy, which was not really surprising.

"What do you do with this stuff if you don't cook it?" Sasuke asked, taking some of the ingredients he needed out. Naruto watched his movements carefully, a bit flustered at the question he was asked. It was definitely an embarrassing conversation on his side.

"Uh... well... frankly I try to make something..." Naruto rubbed the side of his arm, averting the curious ebony gaze. "It doesn't always end so well."

Sasuke did not have any troubles believing that. Deep down, he knew he was mocking Naruto just to give him a little push in the right direction. He found himself wishing the blonde could learn how to take proper care of Menma. He guessed, this was an indirect way he was telling Naruto that he still cared for him.

"I wanna help!" The little boy said, jumping to Sasuke and giving him a big-eyed pout. The raven chuckled and grabbed one of the chairs, letting him have a seat.

"Yes. You have to watch carefully now. You must learn how to cook so you don't end up like that idiot over there," Sasuke nodded towards his direction.

"Hey!" Naruto elbowed him playfully, and Sasuke merely nudges his side with his hip.

The boys spent the next hour cooking together. Menma was standing on the chair, having the easy task of washing some vegetables, while Sasuke taught Naruto how to skillfully batter and make shrimp tempura.

Naruto started to get the hang of it, and he loved every single moment of the little lesson. Sasuke would never admit it, but he loved seeing the blonde make progress. He took pride in seeing him so genuinely interested, and he felt really bad for ever thinking Naruto was not trying. The blonde showed every bit of motivation to learn.

He truly was a good parent.

They ended up making much more tempura then they actually needed. The three were exhausted by the time they settled around the table.

"Really, Sasuke... You're so amazing for taking time to teach me, it means a lot to me," Naruto spoke, looking forward to taste the dish. Sasuke just shrugged his shoulders, trying to keep his emotions at bay as he grabbed the pair of chopsticks in front of him.

"Hn. Well, it's no big deal," Sasuke wanted to sound nonchalant, but he found his answer carrying some sort of emotion. He dipped his tempura into some soy sauce and took a bite of it. Naruto smiled for himself, then let his gaze wander to his son, who was happily eating.

How he wished he could see that look every day.

"Well, I am very thankful. Also, I am actually going to start attending cooking classes every Thursday and Sunday evening, so hopefully that will help me," Naruto said, after swallowing a delicious mouthful.

Sasuke raised a brow, but nodded with a hum. He guessed that was good. Silence fell over the kitchen after that, and the raven struggled with his thoughts. It was clear as day that Naruto had really tried his hardest to make this day enjoyable. And it was. Therefore, Sasuke found himself thinking that maybe he should contribute too. Naruto was trying alone to make this friendship work. It was a bit unfair.

After a lot of hesitation and mental preparation, Sasuke tried to keep his voice steady when the next sentence left his lips: "If you want, I can help you too. When I have time, of course..."

Naruto's eyes widened, and a genuine smile formed his peachy lips. "Really? That's too much..."

"If you don't want my help then there's no problem-"

"No, no!" Naruto waved with his arms in front of him. His chest felt so tight with happiness. "I would love to have you guide me!"

Sasuke kept his gaze on his food, before it wandered to Menma. "And... when I'm free... I can babysit Menma." A part of him did somehow not believe what he was saying. It was very unlike him to offer such a thing. But he wanted... to be closer to him.

Naruto gulped, feeling almost overwhelmed with happiness. Was this some kind of twisted dream? Was Sasuke honestly letting himself get involved with him? The Uzumaki was ecstatic.

"Oh... Thank you, Sasuke. Honestly," Naruto felt a sudden urge to vomit all of his feelings. "You're the best. I can't even..."

"Getting all sappy now, aren't we?" Sasuke rolled his eyes, but offered a uncharacteristic smile. Naruto wished to just get up and hug him. However, he felt like they had yet to reach that level of affection.

"Oh shut up," Naruto stuck out his tongue childishly.

...

After the dinner, Naruto took care of the dishes while Sasuke offered to help Menma get ready for bed. It was already late, the time had been flying too quickly. The blonde was amazed at how good the Uchiha was with children. He wondered how and where he had learned that.

"Is he sleeping?" Naruto whispered when Sasuke closed the door to Menma's bedroom. He nodded quietly and headed towards the living room. They were alone now.

Menma had been between them the whole day, and that made it easier to be together. Now, both felt like this was the real test in their friendship.

"Want me to make you some tea?" Naruto just wanted a reason for Sasuke to stay longer. He really wanted to be with him more. The dark haired male nodded weakly, letting both arms hug his sides loosely as he took a seat in the living room.

Naruto felt a bit nervous, but decided to simply face it strongly. He made the tea as best he could, and brought it on a tray to the guest room.

Sasuke had one knee hugged to his chest, and just nodded at Naruto as a thanks. He tried to be polite, just to ease the weird tension.

"So... is there something you want to talk about?" Naruto smiled hopefully. He hated how, a couple of years ago, they were never short of things to talk about. Now, they had almost nothing. And the little they had was either awkward or painful.

Actually... we are the ones making it so hard and embarrassing. He thought bitterly. I have a lot I want to talk to him about.

"I want to know more about Menma, actually," Sasuke blew on the tea lightly, meeting the surprised azure eyes. Naruto sighed thoughtfully, his own cup between his fingers. He watched the steam coming from the green liquid as he tried to establish his feelings.

The two were separated by a good distance, both sitting on either side of the couch. As if the distance would protect them... from each other. There was still an invincible wall between them, and Naruto wanted it gone.

"I have told you most of the story, but if you want, I can be more honest this time," the tan skinned began. "I was really hurt by the break up... as you know. I tried finding some sort of comfort, so I was dragged into a kinda crazy party."

Sasuke wrinkled his nose, but said nothing, as he was after all a man of few words. Naruto studied his reaction, not knowing how to feel about it. "And you slept with a girl..." The raven muttered and tried to hold back a gag.

Naruto rolled his eyes and shrugged. "Yeah... However, I have to admit I find it quite weird. I mean... Even when drunk, I normally go for boys, so I have no idea how that happened. I have absolutely no memory of it."

"How did it feel?"

"I said I don't remember," Naruto repeated.

"Wasn't it disgusting?"

"Probably..."

"I can't believe you actually did that," Sasuke mocked. "Just the thought of that is enough to make me squeamish." The blonde sighed, but he nodded at the statement. He could not say he disagreed with that.

"Are you going to tease me forever now?" There was amusement behind the question. Sasuke clicked his tongue and took another sip from the tea.

"I don't really care what you do. But I presume you don't regret it?"

Naruto was very quick to shake his head. "I could never regret ever having Menma."

"But... Why did they let you have him? What about his mother?" Sasuke insisted curiously.

"Well..." Naruto tried to find the right words to put it. "The woman that gave him birth," he said, not wanting to call her his son's mother. He knew he was unfair, but so was she. "Though I don't remember her name, I just know she is like five years older than me. She lived in very poor conditions. Her parents, they were drug addicts, and she was slowly becoming one herself... Their economy was bad too."

Sasuke stared intensely as Naruto spoke. This piece of information was certainly new. "You know my foster father? He has quite a lot of connections, and money, so with his lawyers, managed to give me the right to be his legal guardian. Well, I am his real father, so it did not take much... And that hag did not even want him, so..."

"Wasn't it a little bit hard, though, to raise a child? You were only...?"

"17 years. And no, he actually made my life better. To be frank, I was going through some real though shit, and having him actually helped me." Naruto sighed, smiling at the memories of when he first got him. How happy he was.

"Yeah, and you told your innocent child you tried to kill yourself."

Naruto stared wide eyed at Sasuke, who was almost giving him a challenging glare. A million thoughts were running through his head at the words his ex spoke. How did the raven even know about that? His somewhat rude statement made Naruto's blood boil. Did the raven even know he was the crucial reason for that suicide attempt?

"How do you know about that?"

Sasuke put the tea down, feeling the tension in the room build as navy eyes challenged coal. He had wanted to ask this question for a while now. "Menma told me himself."

"What? When?!"

"That's not important."

Naruto's lips kept closing and opening. He had so many questions, so many feelings building and he had no idea how to voice them. He was both mad, confused and sad. There were so many questions he needed answered, and the raven was playing with his mind by being so forward.

"Is Menma telling people this?"

Sasuke was quick to shake his head. "I really don't think so. That time he told me... was a peculiar situation." Naruto gaped more, brows knitting as his voice screamed of confusion. This was a very sensitive topic, and Sasuke being so secretive actually hurt him a lot.

"Won't you tell me more?"

The raven shut his lips tight. He averted the blonde's gaze. He was not ready to tell Naruto he had been suicidal too. That was too intimate and personal, and they...

"We are not there yet."

"What?"

"I said, we are not close enough for my side of the conversation. I just want to know why you told an innocent child about such a horrendous thing."

Naruto felt rage almost explode out of his ears at Sasuke's attitude. "Oh, so it's okay for me to open myself up. But your feelings are worth more than mine?"

"We are not close enough for that. Don't you understand?!" Sasuke was trying not to raise his voice. He did not want to wake Menma up, the poor child had been through enough.

"You're unbelievable. Are we really going to pretend we haven't known each other for how many years now? It's been almost fifteen years since we first met!"

Sasuke bit his trembling bottom lip to hold back his tears. Why was Naruto being like this? He knew very well that opening himself up was very hard for him. He was not like other people. He grew up learning the total opposite. Naruto of all people should know that.

"I don't want to talk about it. Friends are not supposed to push each other like this..." Sasuke did not want to pretend he knew anything about friendship. He could count the friends he has had in his whole life in one hand. But even he, knew that honesty was important. Still... he found it impossible to voice his feelings so soon.

Ragged breathing from both males filled the silent room. Both were standing, shoulders falling and raising rapidly. After a while, a defeated sigh left the blonde's lips. Naruto gazed longingly at the raven through his golden bangs, feeling a painful twist in his heart.

I wish I didn't love you so much...

Just as Naruto was about to open his mouth and apologize to the raven, to say he was sorry and that Sasuke had the right to ask, he was cut off.

"I am sorry." Came the hoarse whisper.

Sasuke was playing with his longs bangs, knowing that apologizing to Naruto would actually soothe the unbearable pain he was feeling inside. He had been rude to him on purpose. The Uchiha knew he had been provoking him, but that was because he wanted Naruto to stop loving him. He wanted them to just be friends.

Because Sasuke felt like he could never in a million years deserve Naruto.

I am too much of a burden. He needs to see that.

He needs to see that... he can find someone better.

Heh... That wouldn't be too hard.

"I didn't mean to fight..." Sasuke mumbled. "I am just naturally unfriendly."

Naruto exhaled sharply, and tried to get rid of the painful lump in his throat. "I apologize too. We got a little bit carried away..."

The atmosphere was still very tense, and Naruto took steps closer to his ex-boyfriend. Sasuke looked up through wet lashes, meeting the mesmerizing blue eyes.

"I guess it's normal for friends to argue once in a while, no big deal." Naruto carefully placed a hand on his shoulder. The boys' eyes met, and there was a lot of love reflected on each shiny orb. Sasuke stared at the other's lips, and found himself carefully leaning in.

For a moment, it looked like he was about to kiss him, and a small part of Naruto wanted that. However, Sasuke let his arms go around the tan neck, and pressed their bodies close. Naruto's eyes widened, his body going numb at the warm and loving touch. He could not believe Sasuke initiated a hug! The raven felt the strong familiar arms around his waist, and he sighed contently.

"It was fun... today," Sasuke whispered.

"Yeah... I will never forget this day," Naruto murmured, being the last to pull back. Sasuke rubbed the side of his arm, looking really drained as he gazed out the window.

"It's getting late, I should get going... see you tomorrow."

"Oh... see ya." Naruto sent Sasuke a last smile before the raven disappeared. It was always hard saying goodbye to him. He hoped the argument they had today would prove they were getting closer. After all, it took Naruto years to get Sasuke to talk to him. Even then, they had many arguments.

The only solution to this was time.

This friendship needed a lot of time.

Naruto took a seat in the couch, and tried to come to terms with his feelings. He knew he loved Sasuke, and it would take a lot of time to get over it. So... He knew there was only one solution to this. He picked his phone out of his pocket and dialed his old man's number with a heavy heart.

"Hello old man, yeah, it's me. Remember that guy you tried to set me up with? Yeah... Tell him I'm interested in a date."

NSNSNSNSNSNSNSNS

Sasuke's heart was thumping, as he closed the door to his apartment and leaned against it. He wished he could stop the pain that spread through his body slowly every time he was with Naruto. It was never like this, with other people. His last ex-partners, never made him feel half of the emotions he was feeling at the moment.

Don't tell me... that... I actually still haven't gotten over him? Sasuke's eyes widened, not liking the thought. No... That can't be... I have gotten over him a long time ago...

With quivering hands, Sasuke hugged himself and let his face fall. He hated how pathetic he was acting, for having such... doubts about himself. Naruto made his head so confused. He hated feeling so vulnerable when he was around him. He always made his heart jump and skin prickle.

What is he doing... to me?

This feeling… Is no different then what I used to feel when I was thirteen.

What bothered Sasuke extremely was the fact that both of them desperately wanted to be friends, despite both knowing deep down that it really would not work.
