Story is different now. Originally known to be written by SasuNaruLover.Original name All I Wanted.

Disclaimer: I OWN NARUTO! A guy in a white coat comes along and says, "Come on, time to go back to the asylum now."

Me: Aw, do I have to?

White coat guy: Yes, come on, let's go.

HomiF: SasuNaru-kun does not own Naruto!

Smiles are Fake

See, look at my pretty little mask.

Unable to see beyond,

Unable to see through.

I thought we were the same. Alone, unwanted. But you had everything I wanted. Everything I needed. Love, admiration, memories of your family. You could do anything.................... we were too different. I always wanted to be like you... I aspired to be like you, but you never spoke to me. Never looked my way or at least said a simple "Hi!" .......... You were like everyone else.

(Takes place a bit after chapter 228)

"Hehehe, Dobe," Sasuke Spoke with an evil grin on his face. "You lost!"

Naruto just looked down and stared at the ground as Sasuke held him up by the collar of his orange jacket.

"Dobe," Sasuke brought Naruto by his collar for eye contact, "Weren't you trying hard to beat ME?"

Naruto still looked down and remained silent.

"ANSWER ME!" He shook Naruto violently.

Naruto brought his eyes up to make contact with Sasuke's. Naruto's eyes held nothing but sadness.

"Why does it have to be this way? Sasuke, we are the same. Lonely, cold, and alone...and we are also alike." Naruto said finally.

"You think you understand the pain I've lived with ?! Dumbass! I saw Itachi kill my parents, over and over again! ( Mangekkyou Sharingan) I've been alone a different way!" Sasuke angrily and bitterly yelled.

Naruto gazed at him with a look of pain, hurt, and rejection as he told the time-old story of his life.

"Twelve years ago, the Yondaime sealed the Kyuubi into a newborn child. This child grew up shunned, hated, and rejected for all of his life for something he didn't do. The villagers thought of him as the Kyuubi and the children hated him because everyone else did. He thought that no one even bothered to care about him, but one day he found that person. That day the boy became a shinobi. Eventually he found friends who cared. .... The boy was me!"

Sasuke's face held a look of surprise.

'That explains everything! Especially about the fight! The power was Kyuubi's!'

"I did want to beat you, but I've finally realized something."

He brought himself closer to Sasuke.

"I've realized that I love you!" Naruto burst out.

Sasuke stared at him with shock.

A harsh word passes by,

Oops, another crack,

On the mask that is annoying,

Stupid, rude, and dumb.

'He loves me?' was the only thing running through Sasuke's mind.

"But," Naruto continued. Sasuke's head snapped up to look at him. "You've never noticed me or looked my way," Naruto said sadly.

'What are my feelings for him?' He felt towards Naruto something he had never felt before. It was just how he felt for his family, only so unlike.

'I love him back!' Sasuke thought in shock. Naruto was the only one who really cared for him. The only one who tried to see beyond the mask. But, he couldn't go to Naruto, no matter how much he loved him. He was an avenger for god's sake. He couldn't run back to the village with dead last! He had a revenge mission to fulfill!

As this clicked, he moved nearer and nearer to Naruto.

"Foolish baka, I could never love you! I love no one!"

He moved nearer and nearer to Naruto, unconsciously, unable to stop. He was drawn to Naruto. Naruto felt heartbroken, to fall in love with the impossible, to love the unlovable. Sasuke saw the pathetic look on his face.

'So kawaii!' Sasuke thought unconsciously.

He pressed his lips to Naruto's, not thinking about it at all. It felt..... so right. Naruto was stunned at first but then started to kiss back as eagerly as Sasuke, satisfied with knowing that Sasuke might love him back. The innocent kiss turned into a tongue battle as Sasuke and Naruto fought for dominance. They broke for air.

"I don't even know why I did that," Sasuke murmured.

One finally looked beyond the mask,

And saved me from myself.

Before I was lost in the borders of illusion and reality,

And drowned in the deep darkness.

'Stupid, it's cause you love him.'

' Huh!!! WHO SAID THAT!'

' Me, your conscious. We haven't spoken for a long while. How are you?'

'So that's why. It's cause I truly love him.'

'No duh, Genius!'

"Sasuke?" shyly asked Naruto. Sasuke snapped out of his stupor.

"Why did you kiss me?"

".......Cause, I think I love you."

"YOU DO?"

"Yeah, so?"

"Nothing."

Killing Itachi could wait a while. He could get stronger and train in Konoha with Naruto. As long as he was with the one he tried so hard to not love, he would be happy.

"Sasuke, are you still going to Orochimaru?" Naruto asked timidly.

"Not for now." was Naruto's answer.

That one who looked beyond the mask,

Is my only true friend yet.

But I hope it could be so much more,

Than just a little friendship.
