Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto yada yada yada.
Hi everyone. So I finally managed to get Chapter 7 typed. It actually took a while to type this even though it's really short.
It probably wasn't writers block, because I had everything set up in my head. I think the problem was that it was practically 11:00 at night and I was starting to doze off. I always start feeling sleepy around that time. Don't ask me why.
So yeah, I was really tired but I really wanted to update for you guys. But since I was tired, I had to make it short. gomengomengomen.
However, I promise I will make it up to you guys with a lengthy chapter 8. Stay tuned.
Enjoy and review.
-------------
Naruto's eyelids flew open abruptly when he heard a strange noise.
Unsure of what the sound was, he listened carefully. He heard it again, but this time, he knew exactly where the sound was coming from. Sasuke.
Alarmed, Naruto sat up and stared at Sasuke.
Sasuke was still asleep. But Naruto knew right away from looking at him, that he was having a nightmare. Tears were coming out of Sasuke's tightly shut eyelids. His hands were rolled up in fists. And Naruto could hear Sasuke mutter a few words in a strange, angry and frightened voice that he never heard Sasuke use before in his life.
"Sasuke, wake up!" whispered Naruto worriedly, while shaking his friend gently by the shoulders. "You're having a nightmare!"
The shaking didn't seem to have an effect, because Sasuke's eyelids were still tightly shut.
"Sasuke, wake the hell up!"
"Get…the fuck…away….f-from me!" yelled Sasuke, pouncing on top of Naruto, with his eyes still shut.
"Sasuke, wake up...no one's trying to hurt you!" whispered Naruto frantically.
"Don't touch me…you bastard…" said Sasuke,
Naruto, now lying on his back with Sasuke almost on top of him, began panicking a little for his friend. He didn't want to admit it to himself, but it scared him, seeing his friend going through so much distress, when nothing was even happening to him. He suddenly realized Sasuke was trembling uncontrollably.
He took Sasuke by the shoulders and shook him harder this time. "Sasuke! Wake the hell up! You're only having a nightmare! No one is trying to hurt you!"
This time, Naruto's shaking and urgent whispers worked.
Sasuke collapsed on top of Naruto forcefully. Naruto couldfeel Sasuke's sweat drenched shirt on his skin.
Naruto then sat up slowly, lifting Sasuke up, and looked to see if Sasuke was finally awake.
It pained Naruto's heart, seeing Sasuke's expression on his face.
The Uchiha's eyes were open, but barely. Tears still hung on to his eyelashes and his eyes were red and swollen. Even though Sasuke finally managed to escape his dream, Naruto saw that he was still shaking uncontrollably, breathing heavily and rapidly.
"Sasuke…you alright?" asked Naruto softly, wrapping his left arm around Sasuke's shoulder, and his right hand squeezing Sasuke's cold and damp fingers.
Suffering from an after shockcaused by the nightmare, Sasuke didn't answer. Instead, he looked straight into Naruto's cerulean blue eyes.
"Sasuke…" Naruto whispered gently.
And before he knew what he was doing, he brought Sasuke closer to him and wrapped his arms around the Uchiha, feeling Sasuke's drenched shirt soak through his.
Naruto's heart began to race. And he could already feel himself starting to blush, but at that moment, he couldn't care less.
At that moment, he didn't care what was going through Sasuke's mind about this sudden embrace. All he truly wanted to do was to ease Sasuke's pain and shock from the nightmare…and ease the pain in his own heart, for loving his friend to the point where even he couldn't take it anymore.
"Sasuke...you had anightmare...no one was trying to touch you" said Naruto reassuringly, while lightly patting Sasuke's back.
Suddenly, to Naruto's surprise, he felt Sasuke's arms begin to wrap around Naruto's neck. He later felt Sasuke's head resting on his left shoulder.
"Naruto…" whispered Sasuke, weakly.
"What is it?" replied Naruto softly, feeling warmth and happiness throughout his whole body while holding the Uchiha in his arms.
"I'm…glad…" began Sasuke, sounding exhausted. "I'm so glad…that you're my friend".
Naruto felt his eyes start to burn with tears of happiness.
Or was it sadness?
Had the tears formed…because he felt immense gratitude and appreciation in acknowledging that the words that had just come out of Sasuke's mouth had only been said to him and nobody else?
Or had the tears formed because he suddenly realized that the bond and friendship he had with Sasuke could only stay that way…and become nothing more?
He forced himself not to think about it. He forced himself with all the strength he had to not think about it.
Because at that desperate moment, the only thing he wanted was for them to stay the way they were, holding each other, supporting each other.
Sasuke had finally stopped shaking. His breathing went back to normal.
As dawn drew closer, the two teenagers soon drifted back to sleep, with their hearts beating at a same pace and rythym...
With their arms still around each other.

Um yeah, so how was it:bites nails:
I hope you're all at least a little content with this chapter.
If any of you still think I'm going too damn slow with their relationship, I'm sorry. But I cant help you with that. It's my story and I'll do whatever I want with it.
But I really, really want to thank everyone who actually supports my idea of not rushing into the confession yet. I really, from the bottom of my heart, want to make this story a heartwarming one... that is realisitic and relatable andI think I've said that before. I don't want this story tobe completely retarted and corny and unpractical. I've read a lot of fics like that, sorry to say. And I dont want my story to be like that.
I want to somehow make you guys feel the love and desire Naruto and Sasuke have for each other. Literally, if that's even possible.
That's why I was thinking so much about writing a lemon. Because I'm a huge believer in lemon scenes that actually has a point. The point being, true love.
I loathe PWP (porn without plot) lemons with a burning passion. I really do.
AM I MAKING ANY SENSE HEREEEEEEE? Gahhh.I'm trying so hard, you all dont even know...
Just keep reading and supporting, kay? Please be patient with me, everyone. I'd really appreciate it.
Now I end this rant with:
Yuki Sohma is gorgeous and wonderful. Kyo is a dickhead with a horrible personality who is nice to no one except for stupid Tohru the pushover, and Shishou.
Until next time then...
