Title-Fragile
Summary-Naruto gets a late night visitor. Now with more angst.
Disclaimer-Same as it was in the last 2 chapters
A/N-Again, thanks to everyone who reviewed. I'm going for a little less fluff and a little more angsty goodness in this chapter and I *still* haven't thought of a plot for this. Oh well. Read on!
Chapter 3-Ice
Sasuke didn't know what to do. He was torn between two decisions- number one being forget anything had happened between him and Naruto and continue on as he had before. Choice two, forget about being an avenger, drop the cold façade and just be happy.
"A nice mess I've gotten myself into," he thought, forcing himself to shove Naruto away.
"Owwww...Sasuke, what was that for?"
"You were in my way," Sasuke started moving towards the door.
"Teme! You're not being fair! You wouldn't let me get up! I'm not letting you go anywhere!"
Naruto pounced on Sasuke, pinning him to the floor and grinning like a fox.
Sasuke was not surprised. Truth be told, he was secretly glad. Don't stop. Don't make me leave you. Don't let me go. Save me from my loneliness.
"You do realize we have an hour to dress, eat, and otherwise prepare before we meet Kakashi and Sakura? I have to leave. Get off,"
Naruto's face fell. "I was sort pf hoping you could, you know, eat breakfast with me.." What was going on? Sasuke was getting frostier by the second.
"No,"
"Why not?" Naruto begged.
"All you have is ramen. I don't eat ramen for breakfast."
"Uso! I think I have some onigiri,"
"Did you make them yourself?"
"No, I bought them,"
Sasuke sighed. The emotional wall was coming up. He could feel it. "Fine. I'll eat with you. Quickly. Then I'm leaving."
Naruto smiled. There goes the wall, Sasuke thought. He felt himself cracking.
"Just get off of me."
Still grinning like an idiot, Naruto quickly kissed him on the cheek before bounding into the kitchen. Sasuke's cheeks felt warm. Why couldn't he stop? Why couldn't he just leave? Standing up, he followed Naruto into the kitchen.
Naruto found he couldn't stop grinning as he poured hot water over his miso ramen. A day ago, this would have been highly unlikely; a month ago it would have been almost completely impossible. We've changed, he thought as he waited for his ramen to be ready. We've changed a lot.
"Ano sa Sasuke, we've changed a lot haven't we?"
Sasuke was startled to hear Naruto speak. He'd gotten used to the quiet, though it did seem a little unnatural. He'd been hoping Naruto would leave him alone. Looking up from his rice ball he saw those huge sky-blue eyes gazing at him like he was the only person in the world. Sasuke hated it.
"I suppose," he replied, finishing the onigiri. "I'm leaving. See you at training,"
Before Naruto could protest, he was gone.
His grin faded, and he began to slurp his ramen loudly, as if to drown out the thoughts in his head. What was going on? Sasuke was nice earlier-he'd kissed him! And that time it hadn't been an accident. Now he was cold as ever.
Is he just using me? he wondered. What the hell is going on? He didn't get it. Could it have been someone else? Not Sasuke, but someone wanting to play a really cruel joke. Naruto pulled pranks, but he didn't mess around with people's feelings like that. Well, just that one time..
The fox boy was beginning to get angry. The past several hours had been very odd. How did it happen? Why was Sasuke so vulnerable last night, so nice this morning, and yet so cold before he left? It was like Sasuke had this whole other side that no one knew about. Like he'd let his guard down, and now he was just putting it back up. Running away from Naruto, and running away from himself.
Why did it have to hurt so much?
Finishing his ramen, Naruto dressed and left for training. Well, if Sasuke wanted to be an ice cube, that was fine. 'Cause Naruto was going to act like nothing had happened at all. In fact, he thought he'd pay even more attention to Sakura than usual.
It was going to be a long day.
********** Sorry it took so long. I'm thinking of ending it right here. Tell me what you think!
