Chapter Six
Naruto smiled happily as he reached his favorite only 3 blocks away from his house. It was one of those metal and wooden ones that the parents don't like their children hanging out on because they say it's to dangerous but for Naruto it was just perfect.
Quickly he sat on the tire swing and smiled at Sasuke. "Great isn't it?"
Sasuke just shook his head "You're amused so easily Dobe"
Naruto stuck his tongue out and willed the tire to spin. Sasuke chuckled as he watched the blonde swing merrily on the tire. He hadn't seen a tire swing since he was little and watching Naruto right now reminded him of his childhood.
"Sasu come swing!" his friend called.
"Okay!" he called back smiling and climbing onto the black rubber thing known as a tire swing.
"See I told you it was fun." The little blonde boy cheered smiling.
"Yeah" Sasuke cheered back also smiling.
The two boys sat on the swing forever smiling laughing and spinning.
"Sasuke" Naruto received no answer.
"Hey lo!" he said waving his hand in front of the stoic boys face.
Sasuke visibly shook his head.
"Sorry" he muttered looking at Naruto. "I got lost in my thoughts."
"Well they must have held you captive because I've been calling you for the past five minutes."
Sasuke shrugged "I guess."
"Well are you going to sit there all night or are you going to join me in having some fun in the playground" he exclaimed waving his hand towards the jungle gym.
"I think I'll sit here and watch you make a fool of yourself" he smirked.
Naruto's brow twitched "Oh yeah well I think you're just a big chicken and is afraid you're going to hurt yourself."
Sasuke stood up so now he was taller than the blonde and didn't feel like he was at a disadvantage. "Watch it" he growled.
Naruto smirked "What are you gonna do about it, beat me up?"
"Oh I'll do more than just that" he said cracking his knuckles.
"Well you're going to have to catch me first" and before Sasuke knew what happened Naruto had dashed off and disappeared into the playground.
"1…
2…
10!" Sasuke called out before dashing after the blonde. The game wouldn't be fun if the prey was caught right away.
Naruto snickered; he was sitting in the wooden cabin window watching Sasuke look around for him. 'Doesn't he know anything about playgrounds and tag?' he thought to himself as Sasuke checked under the slide.
It was odd playing a game of cat and mouse with the raven haired boy. At a first glance Naruto never would've thought Sasuke was even capable of a smile let alone play kiddy games with a hyperactive blonde like himself. But he was happy none the less to have a friend who he actually felt he could trust.
Looking back out the window his eyes widened, Sasuke was no where to be seen.
"Oh shit!" he muttered franticly looking for the Uchiha.
Sasuke smirked as he watched the blonde panic from his spot in the tree. He tossed a few rocks on top of the hut to scare the blonde and he smiled as Naruto jumped and started cursing fluently. He dashed out of the house and disappeared once more before Sasuke could follow his movements in the dark of the night.
"Kuso" he cursed and took off once more.
It took the better half of an hour before Sasuke finally caught Naruto who was in the middle of jumping from the slide to the monkey bars.
They crashed to the ground with a Thud!
"Owwwww!!" Naruto moaned holding his head.
"Uragh" Sasuke muttered sitting up. "Damn baka"
"It's not my fault you tackled me mid air!" the furious blonde yelled at his companion.
"What was I supposed to do? Knock you off the monkey bars?"
"No, let me win" the blonde smirked.
"No can do" the raven haired boy smirked and tackled the blonde once more pinning him to the ground.
Naruto struggled "No fair!!"
Sasuke smirked at Naruto squirmed and writher beneath him. "it's you're own fault Dobe"
"How's it my fault that you're a big chicken" even though he seemed to be at a disadvantage Naruto still wouldn't give up.
Sasuke growled and shifted his position sso he was pressing one of Naruto's pressure points.
"Take that back"
"Never!!" Naruto said a huge grin on his face. Because of Sasuke moving he was able to move his left arm a little which was all he needed.
Sasuke put more pressure on Naruto. "I said take it back Dobe" he growled lowly.
Naruto winced a little in pain before he freed his arm and hit Sasuke wherever he could not being able to see the black haired boy at all.
Sasuke yelped in pain and withdrew quickly curling into a ball groaning in pain.
Naruto scrambled away and stood before he saw Sasuke writhing in pain, a guilty look crossed his face. 'Never meant to hit him there.' Naruto thought crouching beside the Uchiha.
"Sorry Sasuke" he said guilt written across his face "I couldn't see."
"When.. I.. can ..get.. up" he growled out "you..are…dead!!"
"eh heh heh" Naruto grinned rubbing the back of his head and slowly inched away from the boy. "Oh would you look at the time." He muttered looking at his wrist, which didn't have a watch on.
"Naruto so help me, if you move any further you pain will be much worse than what it will be if you don't" Sasuke was sitting now glaring daggers at the boy across from him.
Naruto was frozen right about now his options didn't seem to be good. Sasuke stood up and started towards the blonde.
"Eyah!!" Naruto yelled before dashing off, Sasuke gave a frustrated growl and took off after the blonde.
Naruto ran for his life with one furious Uchiha Sasuke close on his tail. Quickly he made a sharp turn and dashed up the nearest tree. Sasuke going full speed to try and catch up didn't catch the blonde's quick turn and ran by before he could stop himself.
He continued on at a slower pace and new plan forming in his head. Changing directions opposite to where Naruto was hiding Sasuke smirked. Oh Naruto was so going to pay dearly when he got home.
………………………………………………
Hours later when Naruto thought the cost was clear he headed home grinning, very much pleased with himself that he and his balls had gotten away safely.
"Ha stupid Sasuke could never beat me!" he cheered walking up his driveway.
He never knew what hit him as he walked into the dark house grin still in place. Before he knew what had happened Naruto was sprawled on his back gasping for breath and clutching his chest.
"Now we're even Dobe" Sasuke sneered and flopped onto the couch.
After Naruto caught his breath he got up glaring at where Sasuke lay on his couch and launched an all out attack. Sasuke was expecting this and quickly had the blonde trapped underneath him.
"Now now Dobe, just face it, compared to me your nothing." He smirked knowing it was going to get on the blondes nerves.
To his surprised Naruto squirmed uncomfortably beneath him and a faint blush was detectable. Oh this was too perfect. Sasuke smirked "What is it? Cat got your tongue?" he chuckled darkly.
"n no!" Naruto exclaimed trying to get out from this awkward situation, Sasuke hovering over him like this was doing nothing for his currently raging hormones. With a burst of strength he pushed the black haired boy off him and scooted back against the arm of the chair scowling. 'Stupid body' he thought at himself.
Sasuke's smirk grew wider, "you're the one who started it," he muttered inching closer to the blonde.
Sasuke was getting too close for Naruto's comfort so he jumped up and dashed to the kitchen "Hey want some ramen?" he called to the other boy.
Sasuke growled in frustration and collapsed on the couch "No" he muttered through the cushions, his cheeks were burning as he thought about what he was just going to do if Naruto hadn't of jumped up scared.
'Way to go Sasuke' he cheered sarcastically to himself. His listened to Naruto rummage around in the kitchen before falling asleep where he lay.
Naruto walked out into the living room bowl of steaming ramen in hand and saw Sasuke face down asleep on the couch. He smiled and put the bowl down and went to the room to grab a blanket. He draped it over the slumbering Uchiha and kissed him on the head "Oyasumi Sasu" he said before heading down to the bedroom to eat.

OK that was crappy but I just wanted to finally get it done. Ugh keeping up with stories is getting harder and harder because I'm getting lazy. But I'm kicking myself in the butt more and more.
