Kinny: I'm soo slow on updating now...I did a little one-shot that hopefully you guys'll read :D but yeah...I've been getting very few reviews compared to what I used to get ;-; I know I'm being greedy BUT I CAN'T HELP IT x.o;;;
I HIT 10,000 WORDS!! -dances- it's a miracle!! I really never thought i'd get this far...it's only for you my readers. only for you. 3
ok well...on with the story..and such..
I wanted to be by your side.
They both sit there in silence, Sasuke on the verge of tears and Naruto at a loss of words. The poor blonde boy was so confused.
He just said...he wanted to be by my side...?
Blue eyes look over at black, taking in the sight of Sasuke's cute face flushed with hurt and anger, and he smiled. He smiled his oddly fox-like smile and pulled the raven-haired boy into his arms.
"I'm sorry...I'll comfort you while you cry since you didn't get to comfort me!! If that makes sense..."
Sasuke buries his face into Naruto's shoulder, inhaling the salty smell of sweat mingled with ramen. It was oddly comforting. They wrapped their arms around each other and stayed like that until a big gray poof of hair arrived.
"Oi! Sasuke! Naruto! I've been looking everywhere for you guys! (only Iruka's place, and not really 'looking')" Kakashi said slapping his hands on both the boy's shoulders. They had quickly pulled apart, blushing madly.
"Ah...did I interrupt something maybe...? Anyway, Tsunade-hime wants to see you guys. Needs to sort a few things and such. So hurry up and meet me there in 5 minutes!" And he disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving an utterly shocked and hysterical Sasuke.
"He...he...ahaha!! He disappeared! Oh Kami-sama...I'm seeeiinnnggg things...ahah." Mumbling incoherently he faints and lands on the ground in a –bloomf-
"Ahh....dammit..."
Naruto picks Sasuke up and heads out when he suddenly feels two eyes drilling into the back of his head. He turns around and smiles nervously.
Dammit. Stupid Kakashi-sensei...this is his fault...
Sighing, he pulls out a few bills and throws them next to his pile of empty bowls and runs out.
I still had to pay!! Ugh...man. I better be getting something good out of this.
--------------------------------------------------
Dumping Sasuke onto the ground, Naruto plops into a chair and groans.
"What do you want Tsunade-baba? Making me carry that kid all the way here...Ah!!!" He jumps up and growls, pointing that well-known accusing finger at Kakashi. "You!!! It's your fault that stupid kid fainted! You and your stupid disappearing act!! Grrrr!!!!! I also had to pay for dinner because of that!!! And now I'm exhausted because of that! And and!! You better give me the mo--"
"Naruto!! Shut up for a second will you?!! Mou..." The hokage yells, rolling her eyes. "I asked you to come here because I would like for Sasuke to move in with you and it WILL ONLY BE TEMPORARY!" she finishes, yelling over whatever Naruto had tried to say.
"Oh. Ehh!!!??? But why meeee.........?!" he whines, shaking his tousled blonde hair.
"Because if you haven't noticed, Sasuke has forgotten everything. Did you notice he could not even hold chopsticks properly? Or were you too infatuated with yourself and your ramen? He has forgotten all his ninjutsu, taijutsu and everything he needs to become a successful shinobi, and you must teach it to him again!"
Naruto lies sprawled across the floor, unmoving.
"Naruto!!! Did you even hear what I said?!!"
"Yea yea...I heard you, old hag."
But why me...it'll just hurt to be by him when he remembers...nothing.
Nudging Sasuke with his foot, he bends down next to the pale boy's ear and screams.
"Ahhh!!! LOOK!! It's a flying whatchamacallit and it's gonna eat you!!"
Sasuke's eyes pop open and he latches his arms around Naruto's neck.
"Ahhhh!! Where is it?! Save meeeeeee!!" he cries, absolutely terrified.
"...Sasuke, you've become such a wimp." Naruto sighs, pulling away from the boy's grasp.
"The 5th said your going to live with me, understand? So go to your house and get your things to bring to mine."
"Oh...okay...but...where do I live..?"
Naruto stands there for a few minutes and blinks.
"Ohh!! You don't remember...ok! I'll bring ya. Let's go!!"
He takes hold off Sasuke's hand and drags him out of the building and into the streets, until they reach a quiet, empty part of town. The smaller boy barges into an empty house, still holding hands, and finally stops in a relatively empty room. It was a neat room with very few things. A bed, a desk, a few scrolls here and there, but it was cold.
Lifeless and dark...to enter the room made Sasuke feel queasy, it made him feel so...lonely. Entering the room had also surprised Naruto. Of course he had seen it before...but he had never been inside. (he spied on Sasuke from outside!!) A familiar loneliness in the room made him sad. He had never realized Sasuke had been so alone, even when they were best friends.
"Err....hurry up and get your stuff so we can bring it to my place..." The blonde says softly.
Sasuke nods slowly, unsure of what to do.
"Ummm....what am I supposed to bring?"
Naruto laughs at the question and they begin to pack together, Naruto talking about each thing he packed. (yes, Sasuke forgot that much.)
"You see these shorts type thing? You're supposed to wear em UNDER your normal white shorts."
"Why? It's a bit odd to wear shorts over shorts. That seems like a pain to do."
"....Does that mean your not wearing your boxers?!?! ACTUALLY, don't answer." He says, blushing madly. "But if you sit oddly and your shorts show the inside of your pants...your boxers will hopefully cover your...uh...'baggage'."
"Uhhhhh....."
"!!!!! Umm!!! You know...your...peepee...thing.." Naruto coughs, looking nervously over at Sasuke, whose face was annoyingly blank and confused.
"....Oh."
After that, they packed in silence and finally headed over to Naruto's.
------------------------------------------
Dumping the stuff on the floor, they both groan in exhaustion.
"How about a shower than bed? I'm sooo tired!!"
Sasuke nods, following Naruto into the bathroom.
"Eh?!?! What the hell do you think your doing Sasuke?!!" The blonde screams, turning a bright shade of red.
"But...you said to shower...and...I don't know how..." He says softly, lowering his head to look at the ground. The other boy groans, throwing his hands into the air.
"Fine! Fine! Whatever!!"
"...Am I being a burden?" Sasuke asks, his head still lowered.
Naruto looks up, slightly surprised.
"Ah!! Iiee!! It's okay! It's just...funny that you don't know how to do such easy things." He said, sticking his tongue out at the other boy. Sasuke smiles and nods, before he begins to take off his clothes. Naruto almost blows over with a bloody nose, his eyes latched to the nicely built stomach in front of him. Pulling his eyes away, he turns around and undresses, trying to stay calm.
------------------------------------------
The hot water sprayed down on their bodies and Naruto grabs the bar of soap.
"Here Sasuke, turn around and I'll wash your back. Then you can wash mine."
When his hands touched the smooth, pearly white skin, he bit his lip trying very hard to keep calm. He quickly finishes, handing the bar of soap to the other boy and turning around. Sasuke nervously rubs the soap against Naruto's back, causing a gasp to escape from the blonde's lips. Dropping the soap in surprise, the taller boy quickly reaches down to get it. But in the process, he rubs against Naruto's ass, causing the poor child to get very 'uncomfortable'
Hurriedly, pulling back the curtains and grabbing a towel, the smaller boy runs out in embarrassment. He plops onto his bed, face stuffed into the pillow and groans.
This is going to be a lot harder than I thought.
Kinny: Wow. I jumped around ALOT in this chapter. It was very...off...I dunno.
