-1Rain or Tears Part 3
The next day Kakashi met his team at the usual spot. Being the ninja he was, he immediately noticed that the number one ninja at surprising people was back to his normal self.
"I hope we get a good mission today! Whoo!" The so called blond ginned and bounced around in excitement. Kakashi briefly wondered if it really was a good thing that he was back to normal. He missed the relative quiet atmosphere. Then again, if Naruto stayed the way he was he probably wouldn't be getting any from Iruka. Life had it's ups and downs he supposed.
"Ok my little hellions, we got a rank B mission today. I expect 120 percent from you brats." And so the day began.
-----After the mission-----
Naruto was sore in places he didn't even know he had. But he grinned all the same. I wonder if Sasuke would go have some ramen with me. The boy decided to throw caution to the wind and asked his…friend. "Sasuke! Want to go have some ramen with me?"
Sasuke considered the possibilities. I'm really sore and want to just die in a hole. But, I guess I have nothing better to do, and I get to talk to Naruto too. An added perk indeed. "Sure, why not." Naruto beamed. This is how Naruto should be. Being depressed doesn't suit him; he looks so much cuter smiling. …Oh my god, I'm starting to get used to this. Maybe that means I DO like him! Well, might as well go along with it. Having a crush on Naruto is better than being with one of my fan girls. As they began to walk towards the ramen stand, Sasuke smiled. Being with him makes me happy. He does have that affect on people I guess. I wonder if that is what people call love.
Naruto noticed the smile. He shouldn't be so pouty all the time. Sasuke looks a lot more handsome when he's smiling. …I didn't just think that. I shouldn't be this happy because I'm with him. But Iruka sensei told me love was the feeling you had when you were with someone you really cared about, someone who made you happy just being around them. If Iruka sensei thinks that, maybe there's nothing wrong with two boys being in love. Maybe I love Sasuke…
They reached the ramen stand and simply enjoyed each other's company.
-----Weeks just passed by and you didn't realize it-----
This ritual formed between the two boys. After a mission they would hang out together. It was becoming more and more obvious that they stopped being "rivals" and were starting to become something closer than friends. Although the two boys themselves didn't notice the mutual affection they shared. They didn't fight or bicker anymore, and they even managed to cooperate! Iruka and Kakashi began to notice the change in the behavior of the boys and were glad that they had found a bit of joy in life. For a life as a ninja, happiness was rare. One tends to forget what being human is after killing several of them in cold murder. But Sasuke was a great deal happier. Sakura began to notice the change as well and began to grow jealous. She began plotting against Naruto. Why is that idiot hanging out with Sasuke? He is my boy, no one else should be able to be with him. No one else should touch him. He doesn't even deserve to be breathing the same air. Why won't Sasuke hang out with me? I don't understand… Maybe if I split them apart, Sasuke will want to hang out with me more than Naruto! With that pleasant thought, she began to plot.
A/N
W00t, Yuki chan here again. I apologize for the loooooong wait and the short chapter, but I've been overstressed lately and haven't found the time or the inspiration to continue writing this. To tell you people the truth, I'm winging this, and have been winging this story. Oddly enough, this is the best way for me to write my stories. Anyway, this fic took a weird turn and yeah. I'll try to update quicker in the footure.
