As Naruto walked outside, he noticed it was still dark.
"Of course it is," he thought to himself. "It's still the middle of the night."
Naruto looked up at the sky as a clap of thunder signaled a downpour of rain. Tiny drops fell onto his stone-like face, and he was annoyed.
"As if this day could get any better."
Naruto looked down on the ground as he began his very slow and sulky walk home. He was still in shock at the news Tsunade had given him.
"Did you hear me? Sasuke's back."
Naruto kicked a pebble into the mud. Why was Sasuke back? It didn't seem...right to him. Something was going on...
A shadow fell on the cobblestones before him. Naruto glanced up at the figure who approached.
Even after three years, there was no mistaking Sasuke's jet-black hair and startlingly beautiful raven eyes.
They're not empty though. Not now...not anymore...
"Naruto." Sasuke blocked Naruto's path, but the blond walked passed him. If you had asked him, Naruto would have said he was following orders.
But he was far from a place where he could talk to Sasuke.
Naruto avoided the traitor's eyes as he walked past him.
Suddenly, he felt a strong hand on his collar, pulling him up off the ground, slamming him into the nearest wall.
"Fuck, Sasuke," gasped Naruto in pain as he rubbed his head.
The infamous Uchiha didn't say anything, but their faces were so close together that Naruto could feel the heat from Sasuke's breath. He could count the scars on his milky-white skin. And Naruto could feel his rival's over-excited heart, beating against his orange jumpsuit.
Even with his strength, the fox was defenseless against Sasuke's iron grip, defenseless as he pulled Naruto closer to him, defenseless as they hugged.
But Naruto wasn't ready for this. In a moment of fury, Naruto regained came to his senses and pushed Sasuke away, forcing the Uchiha to collapse onto the cold and wet street. Turning around, he continued his walk home, head down, watching the rain fall onto the ground. Sasuke got up and brushed himself off. He just stood there for a minute, too stunned to try and stop (who he thought was) his best friend. A sudden, mischievous smile crossed the Uchiha's face, and he disappeared in a silent whirlwind of leaves.
Naruto passed the ramen shop, and even though his stomach growled with hunger, he could not stop to eat. Ichirakuwas closed. After all, it was the middle of the night. but Naruto doubted he would have stopped anyway.
Naruto passed Kakashi and Iruka, making out in an ally. Even the blond was surprised at Kakashi's eagerness to get some action. Hadn't he just seen him in Tsunade's office?
Then again, he was walking very slow, and he had been distracted...
Naruto passed the swing in the school yard. He thought about sitting on it, but then remembered that he should be getting home, or else he would be too tired to train in the morning.
Naruto walked up the abandoned stairs to his apartment, and paused at his door. Why did Sasuke hug him? He just did not understand. Even as children, they had never been so close that they could feel comfortable in such an embrace.
Still very confused, Naruto opened his door.
But he was not the only one in the room.
A dark haired boy stood at his window, watching the storm and smirking in a very familiar arrogance.
"What took you so long?"
Hmmm, shall I post chapter four? I derno, I'll probably wait like a week to post it, only because it's kind of…well, let's just say it is the main reason my fic is rated M.
However, the more comments I get, the more likely I will post it sooner.
