When Sasuke woke up the next morning and opened his eyes the first thing he saw was a blur of blonde pressed against his chest. When he woke up enough to realize it was Naruto, he smiled. Blue eyes suddenly stared into black and Naruto flushed, realising their position. Embarrassed he untangled his legs from Sasuke's and slid out of the bed.
"I'm sorry about that, I tend to move a bit when I'm asleep." He muttered. Sasuke felt a twinge of annoyance at Naruto's apology. He was certainly not sorry they had woken up like that! He decided that wouldn't be the best think to say to Naruto, not if he wanted their friendship to cut short, and fast, anyway. Sasuke settled for a quick, "It doesn't matter,"
"I was thinking, shouldn't I meet some of the other people I used to know? Perhaps they could help get my memories back." Sasuke was suddenly desperate to be the Sasuke Naruto wanted him to be. The one Naruto cried over, dreamed about, was close with.
Naruto shook his head and mumbled around a mouthful of ramen, which was the blonde's choice for breakfast. "That's 'ot a good idea." Naruto swallowed the particularly large mouthful before continuing. "Everyone thinks your dead, so perhaps you should know the explanation yourself before others ask for it." the blonde said. This made perfect sense to the raven.
"Yeah, I suppose." He watched as Naruto gorged himself on the ramen. "Ichi…raku." He mumbled quietly. Naruto looked up. "You go there at lot, right?" Naruto nodded but suddenly stopped.
"I don't remember telling you that, Sasuke!" he said excitedly. "Did you remember that?" he asked. Sasuke smiled.
"I think I did!" Naruto leapt out of his seat and hugged Sasuke happily. Sasuke's reply was 'Haku'. Naruto pulled away and beamed at the raven. "Yeah, he's the one you saved me from! Anything else?" Naruto asked happily.
Sasuke thought for a moment then shook his head. Naruto looked slightly dejected for a moment, but sat down again. "Don't worry, that was just the beginning. It will all be back soon enough." He told the raven. Sasuke watched as Naruto ate his ramen. Was there more? The simple answer was yes. There was more, but he didn't think telling Naruto of the feelings swirling up inside him to be a good idea.
Suddenly everything seemed to make sense to Sasuke. The reason Naruto was so devastated. The way he and Naruto were so close. "No wonder you were so upset when I forgot you." Sasuke knew the reason why he had been feeling all this. Naruto looked up. Sasuke advanced on Naruto and kissed the surprised blonde.
Ignoring that fact he tasted like ramen, Sasuke kissed him harder. Naruto pulled away frantically and sent the chair he was sitting on toppling backwards forcing Sasuke to land on top of him. "I know, Naruto. I know why. All these feelings made no sense at first, but now it makes sense!" Sasuke kissed the blonde again. Naruto turned his head to the side, trying to get away from Sasuke's persistent mouth.
"What the fuck are you doing?" the blonde screeched, trying to get away from Sasuke, who had pinned the blonde to the floor with such a force Naruto couldn't break free. "We were lovers, weren't we?" Sasuke asked softly. "That's why I'm feeling this way. That's why you were so upset over me when you thought I'd died."
"Sasuke, we were not lovers so get your filthy, perverted hands off me!" Naruto snarled. Shocked, Sasuke let go of Naruto who quickly shot from beneath Sasuke. Naruto, who was panting slightly, looked back at Sasuke.
"I don't know who you are, but I know that my Sasuke would never be so…so…disgusting!" the raven stood up angrily. "That's my point! 'Your' Sasuke! I know what these feelings are, Naruto, and you don't even realise the signs you keep giving me!"
"This is because of last night, isn't it? Look, that wasn't anything more than it actually was. I had just had a nightm-"
"Its not just that!" Sasuke interrupted loudly. "The way we are…the fact that I am so special to you…the longing tone in your voice and in your eyes when you talk about the me!"
"I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about my- the Sasuke I used to know! You, on the other hand, are nothing like him! And he was my best friend, nothing more!" Naruto shouted. "Your sick! I would never think of you, or Sasuke, or whatever, in that way. He was like a brother to me!"
Naruto ran up to his room and Sasuke heard the door slam from downstairs. Sasuke stood rooted to the spot. He had been so sure. Sasuke shook his head. He knew what he felt, and he knew there was defiantly something the self with memories hadn't told Naruto.
