Climbing by Sailor Book/Water Mistress

Disclaimer: see Ch1

Warning: see Ch1, completely written without a beta, fluff

NOTE, PLEASE READ:  Ok… I was originally thinking that if this fic was going to be multi chaptered, it would start at their deaths and go backwards in time to when their were more fluffy moments (because there is only so much angst I can stand before I want to kill something to get a happy ending). But as I noticed that some of you wanted a happy ending or for me to continue, and since my original idea would have confused even me, I've decided that here are two short alternate endings:

AE 1: Sasuke and Naruto are dead and meet up in the afterlife

AE 2: They live, and everything is all fluffy.

New Story (Untitled as of yet): A prequel of sorts. This will be about how Sasuke and Naruto fall in love and how their relationship winds up ending in Climbing.

Alternate Ending 1: Death

Uzumaki Naruto sat on a cloud, waiting. He'd seen Sasuke's reaction to his death, and no matter how much the blond tried to stop him, waving his arms about and yelling

"Sasuke! Sasuke!! Idiot! Baka!! Don't!!" the Uchiha still seemed determined to kill himself. Naruto pouted, but was secretly happy that Sasuke really did love him. Maybe now the kitsune would get answers as to why his dark haired savior had been so mean. He whined as he sensed behind his closed eyes, still pouting, the other soul approach,

"Sasuke! Why did you kill yourself?" Two arms wrapped themselves around him, pulling him toward the boy behind him.

"I'm sorry, Naruto. I'm so sorry. I love you so much." Raindrops hit the head of Naruto's soul. Naruto looked at the sky, slightly confused. It wasn't raining! Then why… oh…

"I was just so afraid! Even though Itachi is dead, I still held the fear that he would kill you like he promised me if I stayed near. And if I pushed you away before killing Itachi… I didn't want you to miss me if I died… I… I also thought that it would be best that the fangirls think that she was my girlfriend so that they wouldn't target you with their hatred…" The arms around his were trembling, shaking with emotions that had been repressed for far too long. The spiky haired shinobi brought his arms over his companions and leaned further back into the embrace.

"It's ok. Let's be together forever from now on, ne? Just you and me?" The other smirked.

"I think I can handle that…. Dobe."

"WHY!! YOU!!" And heaven was lit (or darkened) with colorful curses as laughter filled the air.
