Alright guys, this might be my last chapter for a few weeks! It really depends on how much time I still have next week! So do enjoy. I put some fluff in here too ^^

...

You can imagine what Naruto's life has been like ever since Sasuke said they should meet. It wasn't even all about talking to Sasuke anymore. Naruto had a new thing in his life that needed far more attention and was far more important. Okay, perhaps not far more important, but it did need attention. There were a lot of things to figure out before this trip could even happen. Determining who was going to make the travel was the first thing they needed to agree on. And that was what they were trying to do now…

'But if we split the plane ticket, so we both pay for it, then it doesn't matter who gets on that plane, right?' They had been sort of arguing about this all day already and Naruto was getting really tired of it. Both wanted to go to the other and not stay home, which was understandable from both sides. Naruto would be staying with Sasuke's family, meaning they wouldn't have that much privacy and their friendship had been solely theirs so far. It would be weird to share and then there was also the thing that Sasuke heavily disliked his own country. On the other hand Naruto really wanted to go to the Netherlands and see where Sasuke lived and what it was like and hear their strange language more until his brain would explode! He was excited to make the trip while Sasuke was indifferent about it, so for Naruto this meant the case was closed.

Okay, it was kind of sweet that Sasuke didn't care about Naruto's home country because he simply wanted to spend time with Naruto, but who would make such a long ass trip that cost way too much money just to sit around someone's home and talk and… do other things? Naruto just didn't get it.

'Of course it doesn't matter then, but that's beside the point,' Sasuke replied, rubbing his face tiredly. They both didn't want to talk about this anymore. This really was their first argument ever, that Naruto counted. Because in this case they were both really annoyed, so it was different. 'I just don't want to hang around my parents and have Itachi come in any time he wants. I don't have a lock on my door you know.'

That little comment sent a blush up Naruto's cheeks. Even if they hadn't talked about it and they probably wouldn't at all before their meeting occurred, they knew more things were going to happen when they did meet. It was inevitable. Mostly because Naruto couldn't stop imagining kissing Sasuke as he ran down the airport, flying right into Sasuke's arms and then one of them would be swept of their feet and twirled around… Okay, that was not really what he wanted. That would be weird and Sasuke definitely would not be open to public display of affection. But there definitely would be kissing when they were in private. Sasuke wasn't shy at all and in Naruto's eyes didn't make such a big deal about having sex or anything similar, so to him it would be normal to move to that stage rather quickly and it wasn't like Naruto didn't want it. He wanted it badly. Get rid of this tension that lingered around every conversation they've had recently.

'So what?! Then I can meet your parents, which I would love and I'm sure Itachi wouldn't barge in all the time.' The look Sasuke shot him said something different and for the first time Naruto actually rolled his eyes at Sasuke. 'He's not there now, is he?'

That was a good comeback in Naruto's opinion, but Sasuke just looked like Naruto had gone mental. 'How do you know that? It wouldn't surprise me if he was listening at the door right now, coming up with plans to make my life a living hell.'

This was just bullshit. Itachi had even been the one to point out that they should meet, bringing this new joy to Naruto's life, so he was not going to think of the guy badly. He was also very nice when they talked a while back, even if it was a little awkward. Sasuke was just overreacting and really should cool it. And otherwise there were ways to avoid brothers sneaking in. Locks were unnecessary if you could push a dresser against the door. 'Okay, let's just start with something else and from there figure out what would be more convenient. For me to go to you or for you to go to me.' Yes, Naruto was going to solve this thing now. 'When are we going to do this? Do we have vacations at the same time?'

For a moment it fell quiet, because this was possible much more important to figure out and Naruto had already done the research on when his vacations were. They wanted to do this quickly of course and they only needed to pay for the plane ticket, but the longer in advance you bought that, the cheaper it would be. The end of the school year was getting closer, so the summer period would be the easiest for both of them. He expected those vacations would line up.

'We'll do August,' Sasuke stated, chewing his lip in thought as his eyes had moved back to the window. 'My parents are going on a trip in July and I'm expected to stay home then and take care of the house or whatever. This also gives us enough time to plan everything since we still have about three months left. We should buy the plane tickets soon though.' Eyes moving back to the screen Naruto watched Sasuke click away from the Skype screen, or so he assumed, and type something into possibly google. Dark eyes swept back and forth over the screen, focusing on different things as Sasuke steered the mouse towards different points. And then while he was doing this, he started talking again. 'Okay, so without extra stops a retour ticket would be about 700 euros, meaning around a thousand dollars more or less. With one stop it's around 500 euros and that would be almost 700 dollars. And this is seeing three months ahead, flying on a Friday. We may have cheaper tickets on other days, but we'll figure that out once we get them. How does this sound so far?'

Scribbling it all down on a paper Naruto started counting what he would have to pay. He had saved enough to easily afford half a ticket, so that wasn't a problem at all. It was still a lot of money, but that's what you get for meeting someone who lives halfway across the world. This all sounded fine, but when Naruto thought of maybe having to do this more often, since they did like each other and who knows how this would end up, money was going to become scarce. 'Yeah, I can afford that,' Naruto murmured, now calculating how many times he would be able to do this with the savings he had so far. About five times, if he was lucky. 'If we just do the one with stops, then it will be cheaper and I don't mind the longer travel.'

Sasuke frowned slightly, pulling up his nose in distaste. 'I really don't like stops. The airports they dump you at then… I rather fly straight to my destination.' He sounded a little spoiled now, but Naruto actually had no idea how much money Sasuke had. Maybe his family was really wealthy or maybe he was just the latecomer that was heavily spoiled by his parents.

'Well, those tickets cost a lot more and I rather have a cheaper ticket and save some money,' Naruto explained, really not wanting to argue about this too. Naruto needed to provide for himself, so it's not like he could afford a lot anyway. Yes, he had savings, but he wasn't about to spend it all on a trip. Naruto needed to think about his future too! 'So if it bugs you that much to stop in another country, then why not just let me come to you? You won't be bothered with flying at all and I won't lose that much money. It's a win-win situation in that case.' And then Naruto also could go to Sasuke, which he wanted in the first place.

A glare was sent his way and Sasuke clacked his tongue in reply, clearly a little ticked off. 'Fucking fine,' he eventually replied, letting out a puff of air. 'You can come here this time, but next time I'll come to you.'

Next time…

'Yeah, that's fine.' Naruto felt a little breathless and light headed after that one little sentence. The first trip hadn't even been made yet and Sasuke just so casually throws in the next one already, as if it were strange it wouldn't happen. Even if Naruto wanted this second trip already as well, as much as a third and fourth, he wouldn't dare say it out loud. Maybe they wouldn't hit it off as great as they both had anticipated on and they wouldn't even want a second trip. Maybe they would even fight and never speak again after that. It's like it never even occurred to Sasuke that this might happen.

With a raised eyebrow Sasuke looked back at Naruto, finding the long silence very odd. 'Are you alright?' he asked, worry slightly staining his voice.

Immediately Naruto waved it off, a soft chuckle escaping his lips as if Sasuke had just asked the most absurd thing he could've. 'I'm fine, I'm fine,' he muttered back, trying to still his racing heartbeat. Strange how Sasuke could make him feel this much with such little words. It wasn't about the I love you's some people so carelessly threw around. It was about his little hints, those moments that take your breath away without you noticing. The moments where someone thinks of you without you even being there. Naruto was really utterly in love with Sasuke.

'You're really weird sometimes,' Sasuke commented, showing clear signs of discomfort. The shifting in his seat and the hands fumbling with the sleeve of his shirt. Naruto simply stared at him for a while, heart not settling down at all. It was just this strange realisation he didn't even dare to tell Sasuke. How could he without sounding a little creepy? They were internet friends. In all honesty they hardly knew each other, even if they also knew a lot. They didn't know how the other acted in real life. They had never even seen it. And yet, here Naruto was, loving his internet friend like he had never loved anyone else before.

It was time to change the subject to something else. Now that they had determined who was going to fly and in what period it was going to be, they needed to do things separately from each other. Sasuke needed to ask when the best time was Naruto came over and Naruto needed to ask for the time off from work. Better do it far in advance, so he wouldn't get shot down. After that was all settled, they could order the ticket and that was it. Then their trip would become a reality.

'So what's the weather like in the Netherlands in August?' Naruto asked, actually curious, because what would he need to bring along with him?

The shrug Sasuke initially gave didn't really help Naruto with his question. 'It depends.'

What kind of answer was that? It depends? On what could weather depend? It's not like someone was in charge of it and weather was always kind of the same, wasn't it? People knew what kind of weather it would be in which months. 'Depends on what?' Naruto shot back, crossing his arms in front of his chest, not letting Sasuke off the hook.

'It just depends. No one knows what the weather will be like. Yeah, it might be warm, it might be really warm, it might also be sort of warm. It might rain, it might just be cloudy, but it could also be very sunny. Weather here is a mystery really and it sucks. Better live inside forever, because I'm not dealing with that shit outside. One minute it could even be really nice out and the next it could be thundering for no reason. This country is pretty fucked up weather-wise.'

That was the weirdest answer Naruto could've received and he mostly just blinked stupidly at Sasuke, trying to figure out what kind of wardrobe he should take with him. 'So we're pretty much the same size clothes wise, right?'

This smile broke out on Sasuke's face as he started chuckling softly, shaking his head along. 'Yeah, you can borrow something from me when your clothes aren't sufficient enough.'

And suddenly Naruto had his overwhelming feeling of wanting to kiss that smile right off Sasuke's face.
