...he decided to act along.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Let me go!" Naruto shouted with desperation, racking through his mind for his worst memories. He remembered one night many years back when he had felt so cold, so empty and so lonely.

Tears started streaming down the blonde hair man, as he struggled to break free from Sasuke's hold.

"Yutaka, please listen to me. I am sorry for what I did, you ere away for so long and with all those rumors flying around, I was insecure and...I look elsewhere for comfort. But I know I was wrong, and that I still love you. You will always be my only one, Yutaka-koi. Forgive me koibito."

Sasuke cupped Naruto's cheek with one hand, thumb caressing the whiskers-like scar, gazing lovingly into the deep cerulean pools.

"Do you really mean it?"

"Yes, truly my beloved, please trust me again, I regret hurting you."

"You are forgiven Reiji-koi...forgiven."

"Thank you, thank you for this chance to prove myself."

Sasuke embraced Naruto tightly, hand resting on the curve of Naruto's back, slowly leaning forward to close the gap between his and Naruto's lips.

Naruto's heart thumped hard and quick, unable to understand the strange fuzzy and fluttering feeling, his mind was in a whirl, feelings all mixed up. Here he was about to kiss Sasuke when moments before, he was cursing the same said person

Naruto acted on instinct and wrapped his arms around Sasuke's neck, leaning into the kiss. The pair of lips met together shyly, ending in a gentle kiss, they parted slowly, eyes locked, as a pink tinge crept up on their faces.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Cut! Excellent take!" Kakashi shouted, wearing a delighted expression, motioning for the two actors towards him.

All the filming had their attention fixated on the actors, a look of amazement on their faces. They had really acted the roles well, and for Naruto to act so well without preparation, he was definitely gifted in performance, both singing and acting.

A blushing Naruto gave a squeal of embarrassment under the intense gaze of others, picking up his discarded paper bag before dashing away towards his home.

Sasuke looked on as a flustered Naruto left the café, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"Kawaii ne..." Kakashi suddenly appeared beside the dark haired man, whispering teasingly into his ear.

Sasuke simply sent a death glare towards the masked man, reaching for his water bottle, taking a long sip to calm his frazzled nerves.

"I decided to let Naruto take on the role of Yutaka."

"W-what!" Sasuke spluttered, choking on the water.

"You know very well that he is perfect for the role, and I am really tired trying to find a suitable candidate for Yutaka. I had never asked anyone for a favour, and I am now asking you to do this as a favour for me. Besides, I got blackmail material..." Kakashi waved the script belonging to Sasuke, where Naruto's name was scribbled repeatedly at the bottom of the page.

Sasuke instantly turned red in the face, agreeing unwillingly to the request.


"Argh! I give up!" Naruto exclaimed in frustration, dropping his pen on the floor, beside an empty paper bag.

After watching two hours of anime while munching hungrily on his breakfast, the frustrated blond hair man had spent three hours at his coffee table with his lyrics book lying open, a pen in hand. Unfortunately, Naruto had hit a writer block, with no inspiration to initiate the composing of lyrics and mind dominated by the thoughts on the kiss he had; therefore, the page remained as clean and empty as it had been three hours before.

He got up from the cushion he was sitting on, making his way to the kitchen to get a cup of ramen to aid him in his thinking process, preferably, erasing any thoughts about the intimate moments he had shared with the stoic bastard.

He retrieved the lone cup of ramen in the cupboard and decided to make a trip to the supermarket to restock his food supplies after the quick meal, after all, he was sure that he still could not write even after consuming the delicious ramen treat.


Naruto currently weighed down by several bags overflowing with foodstuff, was walking down the street, heading towards a bookstore named Tokyo's Souls to find out more about the past works of his arch rival. He had heard from many that his stories always ended in a tragedy, curiosity got the better of him and had him wanting to confirm the fact himself.

He stopped in surprise, right before he slammed into a person in front of him, apparently, the person was in a queue which wound round a street corner and still continued on for as far as he could see, leading back to the inside of the bookstore that was his destination.

He strode towards the entrance, taking note that each and everyone in the queue were holding pastel colour books and he saw the poster placed right outside, with an enlarged picture of his arch rival, Uchiha Sasuke.

(A book signing event will be held here on the 10th of August by famous novelist, Uchiha Sasuke-sama. From 4.00pm to 6.00pm, remember to bring along a copy of Sasuke-sama newest novel 'Just Across' or purchase them here!)

Naruto was astounded by the fact that Sasuke was much more famous then he thought initially, proven by the long seemingly never ending queue. He gave a quick glance towards his watch and noted that it was 5.50pm. He went in, maneuvering carefully through the crowd with his shopping bags, finally to be in sight of Sasuke at a table signing books, skillfully fending off over enthusiastic fans and vice versa.

He watched on for a moment before seeing Sasuke standing and apologizing to his fans that the book signing event had ended, and that he had to leave immediately to attend to other matters.

"EEK! Isn't that Naruto-sama from the band 'NINS'?"

"Yeah, it is him, catch him!"

Naruto's eyes widened in horror as all the fan girls attention were averted to him, he gave a shout of terror before scampering off holding his shopping bags close to him with a huge crowd of fans biting at his heels.


Sasuke prepared to leave, wearing on his coat ignoring the cries of his fans asking him to stay when his ear caught the voice of one of his fan screaming out Naruto's name. His eyes scanned across the crowd to focus on a familiar blond figure that was currently rushing out of the bookstore trying to escape the pursuing crowd.

He found himself amused that Naruto could run so fast, with all those shopping bags, and following the cloud of dust left by mad fans while putting on his black stylish sunglasses.

He was still following the trail, strolling casually when he noticed a tuft of blond hair sticking out from a bush.

"Dobe you can come out now."

"Teme! I am not a dobe, bastard. And are you really sure they are gone, I don't think I can run anymore."

"Yeah...they are gone."

"Phew, what a relief..."

And with that, the tuft of blond hair moved before Naruto emerged from the bush still clutching his shopping bags protectively, clothes torn, leaves and branches in his hair, dirt covering his legs and most importantly, drenched in... dog urine.

Sasuke could not control himself and let out a few guffaws at the sight of the state Naruto was in.

"Bastard, I couldn't help it, if a dog decided to mark this bush his territory just when I was hiding here could I? So stop laughing, it is not funny at all."

"Yes, I found this very amusing."

"Why you..."

"Come to my apartment and clean up, it is just a five minute walk. I don't think you want to go home like this and I am sure the people there will not allow you to board the subway train home like that, dobe."

"Fine...and don't call me a dobe!"

Sasuke helped Naruto with a few of his shopping bags and headed for home with Naruto trailing behind him.


Naruto was currently cursing Sasuke, wiping his face with a face towel, slipping in a thank you before resuming the strings of curses. Sasuke smiled inwardly at the blond antics.

Naruto had been in awe when first setting foot in Sasuke's apartment. Decorated sparsely with plants, floor covered in tessellations of wood, wall in a plain cream milky colour with a stone wall covered by a sheet of running water at the entrance. Elegance clearly shown throughout the apartment, emphasized by L-shaped velvet sofa placed at a corner, white cushions arranged on the seats.

Sasuke ignored the ranting and switched on the flat screen plasma TV, immediately, a storm warning appeared on the screen. Warning all city dwellers to head home quickly and suggesting those already at home or a sheltered place with adequate essentials available to remain there till the warning was lifted which will probably be three days later.

Naruto and Sasuke were appalled, gazing out of the window and witnessed torrents of rain falling with no suggestions of ending anytime soon.

A moment of stunned silence... and followed by screams of terror inside Sasuke's apartment.


A/N: Hi...thanks a lot for all those reviews, cheer me up a lot.

Please continue to review.

This is indeed gravitation inspired.

Lyrics were composed by me. (smile)

Sasuke is going to fall in love with Naruto, so he is bisexual because he was involved with a few women before Naruto. And 'Just Across' is his only shounen-ai book.

Thanks again and please review.
