Author's Note: Written for my best friend's birthday. Rated T just in case, (pre-slash more than anything). Enjoy!

Naruto leapt into a clearing and grinned when he spotted Saskue. "Found you!" he panted and plonked down beside the raven.

"Why were you looking?" he asked sombrely.

"No," he huffed.

"So you admit there is more than one perspective to look at?"

"Yes," he sighed. "All right, dobe, you win."

"I'm not a dobe, teme!" he declared. Then blinked. "Does this mean you'll come back?" he asked hopefully.

"Yes, I'll come back."
