Notes before we start: This chapter is from Naruto's point of view.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, and any of the characters in this Fan fiction. I'd love to, but it's not going to happen any time soon.
Warning: Mild Yaoi references ahead. Don't flame the NaruSasu and the KakaSaku :3

The next morning, Naruto had gotten some sleep after the dream he had, but he felt miserable for even thinking that his friend would die because of him. He sat up and stretched, looking into his bed and noticing Sasuke had gone.
"Sasuke?" He stood up and looked around his whole room. "Hello, Sasuke? Where are you..?"
"I'm here you stupid dobe." Sasuke's voice came from somewhere, but he didn't know where his black haired boyfriend was.
"Where?" Naruto looked left and right from his bedroom. He still couldn't see him.
"Here!" Sasuke shouted, and Naruto noticed him standing downstairs.
"Oh, gomen Sasuke." He smiled and walked down the stairs, glomping Sasuke as soon as he could.
"Get off me!" Sasuke shouted, pushing the blonde haired boy off him. Naruto was confused. Last night he seemed so nice and kind, and today… It was if the stick had gotten too far up his ass again, and he'd gone cold.
"Okay. Let me make you some breakfast, 'kay?" Naruto smiled, bounding off into the kitchen. He heard Sasuke following him, and as he entered the kitchen he turned around. "What is it? Why are you following me?"
"Just because okay?" Sasuke replied bitterly, looking away and opening the fridge to grab some milk. Naruto was a little worried.
"Are you o-?"
"Stop asking me things!" Naruto was interrupted by Sasuke's bitter voice once again, and he took a step back.
"O-Okay."
There was a long silence between the two for at least five minutes while Naruto made toast and Ramen for himself.
"L-Listen, Naruto..?" Sasuke's voice broke the silence as Naruto finished eating.
"Yes?" Naruto smiled happily as he threw the instant ramen bowl away.
"I'm sorry that… I seemed like a jerk before." He blushed a little bit, and Naruto just smiled forgivingly.
"That's okay. It's a morning thing, right?"
"Yeah." Sasuke sighed slowly, taking Naruto's hand. "I'm leaving now. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Why tomorrow?" Naruto asked, holding the mans hand with both of his own.
"I'm on a mission today." Sasuke smiled a little, making Naruto a little uneasy whilst remembering his dream. "I'd take you with me, but I'd just get put off the mission." He blushed slightly as he said this, but Naruto felt a lot better.
"That's okay. Just promise you'll come back to Konoha tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll promise that." Sasuke looked a little confused, but this made Naruto feel a lot better. Naruto kissed the mans hand before he left, and waved him goodbye.
He smiled happily for a little while, but soon the loneliness seemed to settle in. He'd always been on his own, but realizing that someone really loved him, without looking at the Kyuubi form of him, he felt alone again. Speaking of the Kyuubi, Naruto hadn't heard from him in a long time. Maybe he was hibernating? Winter was just around the corner, and so was Christmas. He didn't really know what he wanted, since he already had what every girl in the village wanted; Sasuke.
But, apart from the little bit of money he received from his occasional Ninja assignments, Naruto couldn't really afford to buy anything for Sasuke. He felt a little sad, since Sasuke would be able to get him something, but he wouldn't be able to return the favor. Or would he? Naruto pondered this thought for a moment or two, but then he just figured out that he sounded really perverted, like Kakashi.
'Kakashi… He must have been having a nice time with Sakura right now. She's probably seen under his mask too.' Naruto sighed slowly as he thought of his ex-sensei and his former love interest. He was a little saddened by the thought that a guy older than him could win over a girl after so many years, while he couldn't. However, it did draw him to Sasuke more, which was an easier target, even if he wasn't so happy to start off with.
Naruto sat down on the sofa, and turned over a cushion. It still had a couple of tear marks where he had cried for so long that night. It seemed such a long time ago, but it wasn't really. Well, it probably was, but he kept thinking of it every time he sat on the same seat he was sitting on when he kissed Sasuke for the first time. Just thinking about it made the blonde haired boy blush.
'It was so perfect,' Naruto started commenting in his mind. 'Well, until he shouted at me and told me he wasn't ready. But he still kissed me… He really can't make up his mind if he loves me or not. I don't know what's going on in his mind, but it must be my fault for confessing to him in the first place. After all, I never gave off any hints that I liked him when we trained together.' He sighed, giving his brain a rest from all this stressful thinking.
Naruto's body flopped to the other side of the sofa, his arms wrapped around the pillow he had just grabbed. He smiled slightly, closing his eyes and trying to catch up with some much needed sleep after last night.
