You make me feel...

Chapter 6: Butterflies.

I don't know how, or when, it happened. Actually, I think I might. Always, always in class, the boy would make a fool of himself. He was loud, boisterous, annoying even. Always outspoken. But in being all these things, he just wished to make a point. Usually that he would be hokage – But I know that's his wish to be acknowledged by everyone. No one treats him right. Why? I don't know. The adults always speak of him as though he's... he's a monster, for lack of any other word. The children treat him the same, because the adults' attitude has rubbed off on him.

Anyways; every day, seeing this boy act like this, I always thought him to be stupid. Only recently, I've realized that... I was growing attached to his notorious acts. Now I see he's brave to behave the way he does. Not everyone has enough vigor and confidence to reach for their dreams and take no shit from anyone. I admire that...

Kiba and Sasuke were glaring daggers at each other, although Sasuke had a proud smirk as he walked off with Naruto's hand on his waist, and shoulders supporting his arm. It wasn't a very large smirk; he couldn't muster up enough attitude through his sickness for one. But Kiba got the point – Uchiha was trying to mark his "territory."

As soon as they were out of earshot, Kiba scoffed loudly. The nerve of the stupid Uchiha! He clutched his fist angrily. For Naruto's sake, he had pushed down the urge to jump up and beat the Uchiha. His face became flushed, and he looked down.

The blonde boy was talking about Sasuke yesterday, and the way he sounded when he spoke...

"So, Naru-chan, how's training been?" Kiba asked. Naruto stretched his arms out in front of him, cracking his neck side to side, pretending he didn't just call him by such a childish suffix.

"Oh, same old. We haven't had training in a while, but I go back tomorrow," he said, grinning vulpine-like. "Finally something to help me be hokage!" Kiba laughed.

"DDR helps with coordination, maybe that'd aid you too, if I didn't kick your ass so much." Naruto flashed angry, triangular eyes at Kiba, about to yell something, but was cut off by the snickering brown-haired boy. "Who's on your team again?"

Being Naruto, he already forgot the insult, and answered, "Kakashi's the team jounin and my team mates are Sakura and... Sasuke." Naruto's blue eyes shone for a moment and his thin scars were dusted with a light pink. Kiba stared at him curiously.

"Uchiha, huh..?" Naruto nodded, and seemed to have calmed a little. Odd, in Kiba's view. They were always so jumpy around each other.

"I haven't fought with him in a while. He'll probably take my ass down," Naruto said, slightly amused, smiling softly. Smiling!

"Mm." Kiba sensed a feeling from Naruto... He missed the genius ninja, didn't he? Kiba knew Naruto felt more than he let on... and knew there was no way he could measure up to that.

Kiba shook his head. 'Don't let it be true, that he likes this... This Uchiha... What's so special about him? I don't get it...' Kiba walked to the doorway, leaning against the wall there sadly, deciding he'd leave once Naruto came out again. Although, he didn't trust Sasuke being alone with his fox...

"Jeez, Sasuke... How did you get so sick?" Sasuke was sitting on the edge of the bathtub, watching as Naruto turned on the large faucet. The sickly boy decided he wanted a bath, rather...

"You, dobe," he accused. Naruto flashed him angry, confused eyes.

"What! How in the hell could I get you sick, jerk?" he growled. Sasuke really grated his nerves, sometimes.

Sasuke's eyes became abruptly serious as they met with oceanic ones. Naruto stared down at him, confused at the sudden softness in Sasuke's gaze, his angry expression disappearing.

A hand trailed up Naruto's chest, gathering the orange fabric as it traveled up to the neck of the shirt. Those oceanic eyes widened, and blushing, he didn't move away. Actually, he moved obediently when Sasuke tugged Naruto downward, fingers curled under the hem of the neckline.

Without losing contact of each other's eyes, ever-so-softly Naruto cooed, "S... Sasuke..." no longer in question of what the Uchiha was doing; just acknowledging he was... And liking it, of course.

"You... have no idea what you're doing to me," Sasuke whispered, the gentle wind of his breathing grazing over Naruto's lips. "I'm sick because..." Now, even the almighty Uchiha was blushing out of nervousness. "Because you haven't been near me... I haven't seen your face..." As though echoing the word, soft fingertips traced from Naruto's temple to his jaw, lingering there. "And I... I miss it..." Sasuke swallowed a butterfly that threatened the ability of his words' escape; which now fluttered about in his stomach troublesomely. He felt the need to let him know. He wanted him to know, because... Sasuke had to know:

"Do you... do you feel it too... Naruto?"

Naruto's mouth opened slightly, eyes half closed, dazed by the hand cupping the side of face, the dark pools of fear he stared into, the hand that held him close to his face as though if it let go, Naruto would be lost forever.

"Sasuke, I..." Naruto's hands hesitantly, fearfully, held onto the black cloth of the other boy's shirt. "I feel it... I missed it... seeing you, being... being near you..." Sasuke looked as though he was going to cry out of happiness. His eyes softened even more, a tender smile crossing his lips. He felt shaky, but his body was still. He felt warm, but outside it was cold... A number of oxymoronic things that only a feeling like this makes you feel.

Naruto took a sudden initiative, circling his arms around Sasuke's neck, and pressing his lips onto his. Dark eyes widened, as bright ones closed happily. After being stunned for a few moments by the bliss of being connected to Naruto, he closed his eyes away too, pulling the boy closer.

The two pulled away finally, gasping silently for breath. They could inhale through their nose rather than their mouth, but the sensation had them both afraid to breathe.

Sasuke smirked devilishly after a moment of shocked staring, then making sure the blonde was held closely to him, fell backwards into the bathtub.

"Uwaaah, Sasuke-teme!" Naruto yelped. Water splashed carelessly onto the floor, sloshing across the whole bathroom. Sasuke laughed, messing up the blonde hair of Naruto's. Naruto grinned awkwardly, splashing at Sasuke's face, laughing with him.

Though outside the door, was someone who was not so happy... Earthy hair hiding his sad eyes, the unhappy Kiba dashed out of the house quickly.
That one was a bit longer... Did I satisfy a few cravings? No? Want more? Awww. xD I actually had someone hoping for KibaNaru! Don't worry, he's not over with! I personally like the pairing. Oo And Kiba is so underrated sometimes! Poor puppy... But so far, this fic isn't quite working with him. n.n' Oh well... we'll see... Maybe I can insert a few side pairings, eh? Well, Nyai out!
