Hidden Love

"Wait!" screamed Naruto as he ran after Sasuke into the outer doorway of his apartment. By the time he got there, Sasuke was already down the hallway. There was no way he was going to catch up. He slowly walked back into his apartment wondering what why Sasuke was ran out like that. He could not come up with a possible reason. He spotted the two ramen bowls. Though Naruto was hungry, he was too busy thinking to eat a single bite. He closed the door behind him and dumped out the ramen bowls and sat down on the couch once more, this time he knew that he wasn't going to get any company. Naruto was a bit worried about Sasuke because he was acting unusually strange, the politeness, unable to concentrate, and the stammers. It was Naruto's first time to hear Sasuke to do those things and to do it all at once. There was something wrong and Naruto wasn't going to give up until he figures out what it is.

The sun shined into Naruto's eyes. It was so bright Naruto woke up to a fit, yelling to himself. He soon quieted down and realized he spelt on the couch last night. He remembered he was thinking why Sasuke was acting all different. He boiled some water for ramen again and sat down on the couch waiting for the water to boil. That's when his eye caught the clock on top of the television and saw that it said one o'clock. That meant he was late for the mission. He jumped up and yelled "Baka!" and being as though he was already dressed he ran out the door and out to the bridge where they usually meet up for missions. He saw Kakashi walking along the bridge and Naruto ran up to him. He was breathing so hard he could barely get the words out.

"Where is everyone? What's the mission? Am I too late?" Naruto panted.

"Slow down Naruto! The answer is yes, you are too late. Everyone is gone now" Kakashi acted as though he didn't care.

"WHAT?!" screamed Naruto. "Damn it!" He then remembered you get punished for being late and when he saw Kakashi smiling like he always does he calmed down and continued "I think I will be going now....." He was hoping that he would get away with it.

"Hold on there!" Kakashi called after him and grabbed him. "You do remember that you will be punished for being late don't you? I want you to clean up the whole forest and get rid of all the garbage in there."

The forest was such a dump. You could find just about any litter or garbage people throw in there.

"Why don't you get punishments?" Naruto protested. "You're the one that is always late!"

"I have special reasons to be late. I even tell you every time"

Naruto stuck his index finger into his face "Liar! No fair you perverted teacher!!" With that Kakashi vanished into thin air, leaving a trail of smoke behind him.

"That damn teacher. I'm going to get him someday." Naruto complained to himself.

It was late by the time Naruto was done his job and he wasted another day doing work. It was the worse day of his life and he thought it couldn't get any worse but he was wrong. When he got to his apartment door, there was a guy who started yelling at him.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing?!" he yelled

"This is my apartment if you haven't noticed." Naruto was now starting to yell since he was mad enough already for cleaning the forest.

"This place yours? Well you still can't go in there 'cause someone left the stove on and it appeared to be boiling some water. It created a fire and we need to fix it up before anyone can go inside. Sorry but you got to find another place to stay for the night." He was being more polite this time but still a bit rude to him. He then walked away to finish his job.

"What?! My ramen!! My only place to stay!!" Naruto now had no place to sleep. He then went and asked everyone but he was rejected every time. They were scared that he might be too loud or he might break stuff.

Naruto knocked on the door. This was the least place he wanted to say considering what happened the day before.

The door opened to reveal a black haired teen. He had a confused look on his face.

"Why are you here?" he asked, being his rude self again.

"If you don't mind," Naruto started saying "can I spend the night? I need a place to say since my burned down....I left the stove on by accident..."

"Learn to treat your apartment better. You can spend the night but don't make any noise or start any trouble.

Sasuke lived in a fairly small house. It only had one floor and three rooms, the living room, the kitchen, and the bedroom. Naruto walked to the couch and sat on the couch. He didn't want to talk about what had happen earlier before so he kept quiet. Sasuke was the first one again to break the silent.

"About yesterday Naruto..." Sasuke started to say

"Don't worry about it" Naruto interrupted. He didn't need to know the real answer just yet. "It's getting late. I'll sleep on the couch."

With that, Sasuke, being his rude self again, walked to the bedroom. Both feel quiet for the night until Naruto snores filled the air.

The door opened to Sasuke's bedroom. He accidentally swung it too hard hitting the wall. Naruto was such a sound sleeper that it didn't even wake him up. Sasuke didn't know what woke him up but he couldn't go back to sleep. He decided to out to the living room where it was cooler. He spotted Naruto sleeping on the couch, breathing quietly, his snores gone. 'He looks so cute when he's sleeping...' thought Sasuke. He then realized what he had just said and scolded himself quietly. He then went up to him and turned him over so he was facing the wall. He moved on top of him gently so that his weight was not fully pressed down and placed his soft lips on Naruto's own lips. This kiss woke Naruto up and when he saw Sasuke on top of him he freaked out.

"What are you doing?!" Naruto didn't know that he had been kissed but seeing Sasuke on top of him was bad enough. Naruto didn't wait for the answer, afraid it was what he just came up with. Naruto ran out the door and Sasuke was left alone.

"What was I thinking?" he breathed out quietly to himself. "He's going to hate me forever now."
