A/N: Once again I must apologize for the extremely long delay between chapters. For that I am sorry, and also because there are probably a million and one grammar mistakes here. Anyway, enjoy the story and don't forget to review!

Naruto and Sasuke leave the Ramen shop. Sasuke has a slight scowl on his face due to the fact that he is still a bit damp from the spilt Ramen and he was down fifteen dollars. 'Well, things could be worse, right?' he thought, 'Oh wait! No they can't. I'm trying to help Naruto find the owner of the bag, who is in fact, me. I'm hungry, smelly, wet, and the money I need for food was given to Kakashi so he wouldn't blackmail me. Oh what a fine day this turned out to be!' Sasuke knew he was thinking to much when his sarcastic comments were aimed at himself.

"Well I'm stuffed what about you?" Naruto asked while rubbing his stomach enforcing the fact that he was full.

"Gee considering the fact that you ate my only bowl, I'd say... No." Sasuke said sounding a bit bitter, but not meaning it.

"Hehe, sorry about that." Naruto said scratching the back of his head and looking a little embarrassed.

"It's alright. I don't need to live on massive amounts of high sodium foods like some people." He said half jokingly. "You should watch out your blood pressure will skyrocket."

Naruto looked at Sasuke with a large smile. He put his arm around Sasuke's shoulder and crushed the darker haired boy into him, exaggerating his friendly gesture. "Aww thanks for looking out there for me buddy, but I'm sure I'll live." He began in a short, quiet laugh.

"It's always nice to have someone look after you, ya know." He started to sound more serious as he spoke. He even had a far off smile on his face. In a way it pained Sasuke to look at him like that, because he knew what that face meant. It was either remembering an old memory that has been long lost. Or the second could be the yearning for something that you could never have or believed impossible to achieve. Both looks were not a fun thing recognize on the face of the person you love.

Naruto continued his speech with the same faraway look plastered on his face. "You know, I'm kinda jealous of Kakashi and Iruka." He turned his head and looked right into Sasuke's eyes.

This started Sasuke, that look. It was so hard to describe what it was like, but he liked it. It made him feel warm inside. He realized that Naruto was talking to him from his heart. Naruto was loud (and quite possibly obnoxious) around most people. He would speak his mind to people when he felt like it. But Sasuke could tell this was not what he normally discussed with people. So he was honored that he was the one Naruto opened up to.

"I'm jealous because they have someone that loves them no matter what." Naruto continued.

'This is your opening ask him what he think.' Sasuke thought to himself "So you have no problems with gay couples?" he asked quietly not daring to look in Naruto's direction.

"Yeah. Of course. You can't help who you love. It just happens. You can help it, sometimes you don't even realize it, 'till it thrown in your face. So I say do what you want, be with who you love, because you would most likely regret not trying. Everyone has some love troubles, loving someone of the same gender would just be one struggle to get through, besides it would make you stronger in the end. "God I'm rambling now aren't I. Ha ha." He let out a low, fake laugh. "Sorry to put you to sleep there. Its just I tend to get carried away sometimes. Like I said before you're a good listener.

Sasuke finally looked at Naruto. Naruto has his head tilted to the ground a little. His eyes were burning a hole in the leaves on the ground. Sasuke was amazed at what the blond boy had just said to him. In away that was his feelings. And maybe, just maybe he should take Naruto's words to hart and tell him how he felt. He was right it would be hard, but love was worth it, right?

Sasuke was snapped out of his thought once again when Naruto picked up his head and began to talk. "But I guess I wont have to worry about that because no one would ever want to be with me, not the fox demon."

"Who said that? Besides your still young, what are you worrying about? You have the rest of your life to find someone. Someone who will love you for you, right? You shouldn't give up now." Sasuke was even surprised by his own words. 'Wow, I just said that. Why is he giving me that look, does he know? Did he figure out my feelings by what I had just said?' He began worrying in his head.

Naruto looked into Sasuke's eyes once again, smile slowly growing on his face. Sasuke could feel his own face heat up from the look he was getting. 'He is probably looking at me like that because I look like a tomato, I'm so red.'

"Hm, so you were listening the whole time. Thanks Sasuke, I knew I could talk to you." Naruto ginned, and pulled Sasuke into a tight hug.

Sasuke went limp. 'He is hugging me. What do I do.' So Sasuke put his arms around Naruto as well. 'Well this isn't bad.' He put his head on Naruto's shoulder. He could hear a noise coming from Naruto. 'What is that?' He thought to himself. 'Is he sniffling?! He couldn't be crying, could he?'

Sniff, sniff, sniff sniff.

"Hey Sasuke?" Naruto asked. "Yes." Sasuke said keeping his voice calm and soothing.

"Uh...I think we need to get you out of these clothes." Naruto replied breaking the hug and looking at Sasuke.

"W-W-What!!!" Sasuke stammered, his face was now officially scarlet red. 'What is he thinking?'

"I said we need to get you out of these clothes. They smell terrible of stale Ramen...That and you are still wet from when Iruka spilled that Ramen on you head. It smelled good at first, but now.....I think it's rotting. Well that is if Ramen does rot. Yeah and now you made me a bit damp. I hope this doesn't stain------

Sasuke tuned out the rest of Naruto's pointless ramble. He slumped a bit. Partly in disappointment, and part in not figuring out sooner what Naruto was going to say. He sighed and continued walking. 'I should have known that's what he meant. Oh, well.'

And so Sasuke's moment was over. He was now being pulled across the path to his house, by Naruto, who was still going on about the ramen induced stains. But Sasuke wasn't sure if that was really a problem, considering Naruto probably had a million exact copies of that Orange outfit. Or it could be if he only had one orange outfit that he wore everyday. This lead Sasuke to wonder what Naruto had to wear when that one outfit was being washed. Or if he wore anything at all for that matter.

'I should probably think about this some other time.' He laughed in his head. While out loud he put on his usually cold demeanor and told Naruto to stop pulling him, and that he could walk on his own two feet. Naruto looked back at him with his usual smile and kept pulling Sasuke along, not listening to his request. "I guess this is alright.' He smiled to himself.

Upon reaching Sasuke's house Naruto let go of Sasuke's hand and ran ahead to the front door. He turned the doorknob and pushed his shoulder into the door in one fluid motion, only to bounce back. A bit confused Naruto tried again, and again and again.

Sasuke looked on with a bit of confusion. 'What the hell is he doing? He thought.

Naruto tried one more time and then shouted, "Hey Sasuke! You door is not opening. I think it's broke." He then started jiggling the knob a few more times, stopped, and then waited for Sasuke to reach the door.

"Its not broken baka, its locked." He proceeded to take the key out of his pocket and unlock the door.

"You lock your door." Naruto stated looking at Sasuke curiously. "You don't?" Sasuke returned a skeptical look to Naruto. "Well...no. I guess I'm just a trusting person. Or it could be the fact that I have nothing worth stealing. Or....." Sasuke was smirking to himself as he moved the clothes that were thrown all over the house into one big pile on the floor.

"Or it could be that ever since I got locked out of my apartment and had to climb the drain pipe to get to an open window. The only problem was, that it was my neighbor's window. She really didn't appreciate me landing on her bed, with her in it. Its not my fault she put her bed under the window. Well after that the landlord put extra keys under a rock outside my door. But I really never used the key after that anyway."

Sasuke laughed out loud at Naruto's ridiculous story, and how he really did tend to ramble when he told stories, but that was another cute Naruto trait.

Naruto stopped his long speech when he heard Sasuke laugh. "Well it wasn't that funny. I had a lump on my head for 2 days after that....who the hell keeps a rolling pin under their bed anyway." He muttered the last words a bit quieter than the first part.

Sasuke laughed again. 'If I keep laughing I'll end up loosing my cool and impenetrably calm demeanor that everyone expects from me. Ahh screw it.' And Sasuke continued to laugh.

When Sasuke's laughter died down Naruto spoke up. "Well I'm sorry we can't all be perfect like yooou." And Naruto poked Sasuke in the chest. He stopped talking, wrinkled his nose a bit and rubbed his finger together. Then and looked at Sasuke and said "Yeah... you're still a bit wet, you should change."

"That was my plan." Sasuke said as he walked into his bedroom to change.

"Hm... what am I going to wear." Sasuke looked into his dresser draws and found a bunch of old clothes that he had not worn in years. There were also clothes that didn't match and clothes that were uncomfortable, clothes that made him look too fat, too thin and too pale. He sighed in frustration, 'nothing to wear'. Ok, that wasn't the problem, there was nothing he wanted to wear.

He wondered before if Naruto had the right idea by having a million replicas of his orange outfit that he wore day in and day out. Or maybe he wore the same outfit everyday. Either way Sasuke like the outfit he had on. It was his favorite outfit, that's why he wore it all the time. It was stylish yet versatile, but unfortunately not Naruto proof, now he was wondering in the Ramen stain would come out. So he finally decided on a pair of tan, baggy, cargo pants and a black turtleneck.

He walked out of his room to find Naruto once again searching through his dresser draws. "What are you doing, I'm not going to tell you again get out of my draws." Sasuke yelled at the blond. Naruto giggled at Sasuke's last statement. "It wasn't funny the first time and it is certainly not funny this time."

Naruto still giggled.

"What is so interesting that you need to search through all my stuff?" Sasuke asked, truly interested in why the blond boy in front of him insisted on digging through his personal belongings.

"Well...truthfully, I think you clothes are fun, and you have so many different kinds. Like these, and these and these." Naruto began pulling out different colored T-shirts and sweaters from the draw and throwing them onto the floor behind him.

"Alright, alright, I get the point. Just leave the clothes in the draw, ok?" As much fun it was to see Naruto so happy, he was making a mess of his house. Sasuke walked over and began to collect the freshly thrown clothing from the floor.

Naruto paid no attention to Sasuke's previous order, and continued to shuffle through the draws. "Its so cool, because if you went in my closet you would find 20 of the same exact outfits..." Sasuke stopped half from reaching for a shirt on the ground and thought 'I knew it.' "But you have so many great things." Continued Naruto, as he pulled out a black beanie like hat from the draw and put it on.

"NARUTO!" Sasuke shouted. "I just told you to not touch those." Naruto jumped a little from the shout. He turned around and put on a sheepish grin. "Haha sorry." And he slowly took the hat off his head with the same grin still plastered on his face.

The Naruto went back to his usual self and asked, "Are you going to wear that turtleneck?"

"Huh? What one? The one I'm wearing." He pulled at the bottom of the turtleneck to emphasize his point. "Of course, that's why I put it on." Sasuke's voice was filled with surprise, confusion and a little bit of annoyance.

"Oh please don't Sasuke, you could wear something else you would look better in. Besides, I look really good in black don't you agree. We could trade outfits... or something."

"What?! No!" Sasuke stated flatly.

"Please, please." Naruto pleaded. Sasuke looked into the big blue eyes and was going ot cave in. 'Don't fall for it' his brain thought. But he got another look at Naruto's puppy dog eyes and gave in.

"Grr... fine." Sasuke growled. 'I would have never expected Naruto to be so big on clothing.

"Yeah!" Naruto ran over to Sasuke like a little child and began pulling the turtle neck off of Sasuke.

"What are you doing, let it go I'm still wearing it. Just hold on I will go change." Sasuke protested. He didn't like Naruto pulling off his clothing. 'If he keeps this up I'm gunna jump him. This isn't how it's suppose to end up anyway, I'm suppose to be the one to take off his clothes. No don't think that.' He fought with his mind.

"There is no need to go change, this is faster." And with one quick pull the turtleneck was off Sasuke's body.

Naruto proceeded to take off his shirt. Sasuke wanted to look away, he blushed a bit, and kept his gaze on Naruto. He became uncomfortable, he didn't want to be caught staring at the boy....but then again it was hard not to stare at a boy who was struggling to put on a turtleneck. 'He truly is hopeless' thought Sasuke. 'The strong boy that he loved. The boy who defied all odds in his fights... was struggle with an article of clothing. If only those people could see him now. Haku would be turning over in his grave. He was beat by a moron who cant put a shirt on.' Sasuke sighed and walked over to help Naruto with the 'problematic turtleneck sweater,'

"Come hear Naruto." Sasuke said

Naruto's face came through the sleeve to look at Sasuke's face. His arms seemed to be in a tangled mess behind him, and he was flailing all over the place.

"Would you just stop moving for one minute." Sasuke said being careful from which angle he approached Naruto so he wasn't hit with one of the trashing arms.

"Wait I think I've got it." Naruto called out. Stepping backward his feet got tangled in the pile of clothing that Sasuke had placed on the floor earlier. Naruto flew through the air landing on Sasuke.

Sasuke saw the whole thing coming a mile away yet he still could not react in time. Naruto fell right on Sasuke's bare chest. Sasuke looked up at Naruto who was directly on top of him with what looked like he had one arm and his head in the correct places now. Sasuke also noticed that both their stomachs were bare and touching. Sasuke could feel himself blush. He looked back up into Naruto's eye and only one thought came to mind 'Oh God."

So How was that Chapter? Personally not my favorite, but it has to be here and its been awhile since I've written something. I want to hear what you have to say, be truthful. Thanks for waiting patiently for this chapter to come out.
