Chapter 3: Ramen Flavored Lips
~~~~~
(Recap)
'Where does Sasuke live?' He asked himself. The obstinate teen never had spoken of where he lived to anyone, not even now did he speak of where he lived… This was going to be on the blonde's mind for a while now. He glanced over to Sasuke who was just finishing up his meal. The dark haired boy reached into his back pocket when he suddenly felt a hand on his.
"I'll pay this time, but you owe me." Naruto grinned and set some money down on the counter for the owner to grab.
'This isn't like the Naruto I know…' Sasuke thought. 'I wonder if that training today messed up his head…wait, why is he looking at me like that?'
(Present)
The blond was staring at Sasuke with a daze in his cerulean eyes. He must have been off in his on little day dream… Wait, then that meant...?! No!! Sasuke shook his head; Naruto would never think that way… Would he? He closed his eyes and shook his head again. Looking back up a few moments later, he saw Naruto staring at him like he was some kind of abnormal person. Though he guessed that he already gave that impression to the boy when the first met… or at least the big impression that he was being a total ass to everyone and didn't want anyone's company… that was until…
Sasuke sighed on the inside. 'I guess he'll only think of me as a team-mate, and rival… unless…' Sasuke shook his head rapidly. 'No! he's got a crush on Sakura… damn… why the hell would he like her?! She's so annoying- Oh what the hell am I saying?' While Sasuke mentally fought with himself, the shorter boy had been trying to get his attention by yelling his name, but it hadn't seemed to be working.
"SASUKE!!" Naruto yelled again. He tapped the self-centered boy on the shoulder which caused him to jump, knocking him out of his train-of-thoughts.
"What!?" Sasuke snarled. He paused and looked at who touched him. Oh it was only Naruto. His innocent face was staring at him again. Those deep cobalt eyes that you could just loose yourself in…. Ah, damn he was doing it again…
"Umm… Sasuke… You okay?" Naruto asked raising a slender brow.
"Course I am, dobe." Sasuke lowered his head covering his now flushed face.
"Hey! Don't call me dobe!" Naruto pouted, and wrinkled his nose.
'Cute…' Sasuke thought before he realized what he was thinking. 'No! not when he's standing right in front of me! Dammit!' He cursed himself, biting his lip trying to keep his cool.
"Anyways, Sasuke, where do you live? I'll walk ya there." The sapphire eyed boy crossed his arms over his chest.
"That's alright, I'll walk home myself." The onyx eyed boy started walking away from the blond.
"How come you won't tell anyone were you live? Its not that big of a deal, is it?" Naruto asked. Sasuke turned to him and shrugged.
"If you really want to follow me, I'm not stopping you…" Sasuke mumbled before he started walking again.
Finally leaving the ramen shop, both boys walk down a small narrow path that Naruto had never been down before. It had gotten darker all of a sudden, and the night sky was soon dusted with shimmering stars, but soon after were covered by blankets of dark rain clouds. Both boys continued to walk down the path, ignoring the fact of the weather change.
'Sasuke must live out here all by himself… kinda like me…but then again I have people who live right next to me… and Sasuke…well he's got no one…' The blond heaved a sigh, earning a back glance from the raven haired youth in front of him.
"Something on your mind?" Sasuke asked randomly. Well, it looked like the blond was gonna follow him until they got to his house, so might as well make some sort of conversation. Right?
The blonde looked up, Sasuke had turned his attention back to his front. "Umm, not really…" Naruto blushed. He must have been pretty obvious.
"Seemed like something to me…" Sasuke said, not looking at the blond, just keeping his sights ahead of him.
"No, no, really, its nothing." Naruto said in defense, a little to quickly.
"…"
"…"
They both walked a few more minutes in pure silence. Naruto was starting to go crazy! He hated being quiet. But then again he didn't want to say something stupid to make Sasuke upset... wait why would he care if Sasuke got upset? Yeah! He couldn't care less what that damn Sasuke thought of him… Or maybe he did…The blond sighed and ran a hand through the golden locks atop his head.
Suddenly Sasuke stopped, and since Naruto was looking down not paying attention, he didn't notice that the older boy had stopped so abruptly, and ended up smacking his head into Sasuke's back.
"Hey, what was that for Sasuke-" Before Naruto could finish, Sasuke had turned around and stared straight into Naruto's cobalt eyes. Icy black eyes, meeting round sapphire irises.
Sasuke moved his face closer to Naruto's, and soon the blond could feel Sasuke's hot breath on his flushed face.
"S..Sasuke?" Naruto breathed.
"Why?" Sasuke shook his head.
"Huh?" Naruto stared blankly at the onyx-haired teen that stood before him.
"Why are you…why are you so interested in following me? You should go home…" Sasuke's words pierced through Naruto's ears, making the blond wince.
"I didn't want you to be-"
"Lonely?" Sasuke finished Naruto's sentence for him.
"Well-"
"No." Sasuke glared at the blond. It was always the same thing, he wanted to get close, but he knew that he would end up hurting Naruto in some way, shape, or form, and he could never do that. So he pushed him away, just like he was doing now. To keep him as a team-mate, and rival was good enough, right?
"Sasuke…I…" Naruto's face became flushed as he leaned his face closer to Sasuke's. The blonde's full, light pink lips soon brushed against Sasuke's soft pale lips. The raven-haired was taken aback. Sasuke could taste the ramen on Naruto's lips. He wondered if maybe the blond always tasted so good… His eyes began to close when he remembered, no, he couldn't do this… He quickly shoved Naruto away from him.
The dark clouds that had formed above the earth soon gave way, and let heavy drops of rain pour down upon the land below. The endless sky above soaked everything in its sights letting the tree's and earth gather the water to earn more growth, giving more life to the land.
Naruto's eyes became blurred with a mix of tears and rain. The hot tears started to stream down his face as he saw the distorted shape of Sasuke, who was staring down at him, panting heavily. Before any words could pass between them the blond dodged further into the forest, leaving Sasuke standing all alone, already soaked from the heavily beating down rain above.
'I don't want to be alone anymore!' Naruto shouted in his mind. Tears and rain making his vision hazy, so he couldn't see what he was doing. He thought he could tell Sasuke how he felt for him. He thought that maybe Sasuke would understand him… Or at least comfort him in some way, because they were the same… They both had no family, and were both loners… But no! The stubborn self-centered teen just shoved him away like he was nothing.
The rain seemed to beat down harder. Naruto began forming different seals in his hand. Maybe he could just have one of himself comfort himself for now… He concentrated all his chakra and formed, what he thought, was the last right seal that had to be preformed. The blond collapsed on the ground, becoming more soaked than he already was.
A cloud of smoke soon appeared, and a tall figure was standing before the blond. Naruto was worn out from everything that had just happened, and was rather stressed. He used up all of his chakra just to make one of himself…Or maybe not. Before the darkness consumed the boy's eyes he could remember looking up to a pair of dark red eyes staring down at him.
The tall figure standing before the smaller blond watched as the sapphire eyes slowly closed. He bent down and lifted the blond into his arms. It was still raining so he covered the boy up with his own jacket. He walked out of the forest, with Naruto in his arms, he smiled down at the boy as the blond cuddled himself to the warmth of the other body holding him…
