Chapter 6

Takes Time

Naruto's P.O.V.

As I slowly opened my eyes I look up to see Sasuke sleeping peacefully next to me and really close. I felt safe and I didn't want to move but I looked at the clock and it was already 6:30 and we had to leave in thirty minutes. I slipped out of Sasuke's warm arms and shook him a little.

"Sasuke wake up."

He moaned and slowly opened his eyes, he looked at me and smiled yes smiled not smirked if it is even possible for him to smile. As I looked into his eyes I could feel my heart beating faster. Could I like him for more than a friend, but no Sasuke couldn't like me like that. Though he has been very nice to me this last couple months it's possible...I hope.

"Well we better get ready so were not late...are you up to going to training today." he said with a concerned look upon his face. He has to care about me he looks concerned.

"Yeah I'm okay"

We quickly got dressed and headed out the door and to the training grounds. When we got there Sakura was already there and waiting I just looked down and hide behind Sasuke who was fortunately a little taller than me.

"Sasuke-kun you're here."

She ran over to him and grabbed one of his arms with excitement not even noticing me at first.

"Get off me." she looked at him in confusion then saw me behind him and looked back at him with pleading eyes. "Why what's wrong Sasuke-kun." she looked back at me with an anger glare and Sasuke obviously saw this and got angry himself.

"I said get off me NOW." she immediately let go and stared at him. Then there was a poof of smoke and Kakashi-sensei appeared between the two. "Well I see your all here so we can begin" he looked over and saw me standing behind Sasuke with my head down. "Naruto are you going to be ok training you don't have to if you're not up to it." I looked up at him and Sakura was giving me an anger look.

"I'm fine I can train."

"Well then Sasuke you and Naruto can go train and Sakura you can train with me today."

"Why does Naruto get to train with Sasuke?"

"Because Sasuke is the only one Naruto will train with." she sighed and walked away the Kakashi to train. We both headed out and started training, but of course we didn't really fight or anything because I hadn't trained in years so Sasuke just helped me practice. After three long hours of training we turned when we heard a puff of smoke and saw Kakashi coming towards us. Good Sakura is not with him I would hate to have her back here.

"You guys can go for today, Sakura has already left on home."

He then left with a poof of smoke leaving them behind. We headed off towards the village and started down the street when I looked over at Sasuke.

"Can we get some ramen I'm hungry." Sasuke looked over at him with his normal smirk on his face.

"Sure"

We headed through the village toward the ramen stand. I ordered my usually four bowls and of course Sasuke not liking ramen as much as me only got one bowl. Once the man sat the food in front of us I started eating as fast as I could, Sasuke just gave me a quick look before starting his own. Once we were done Sasuke paid the bill and we set off down the street once again.

"Thanks for the ramen it was good."

"Hn" was his usually answer to everything as we continued back to his house. We didn't say much when we got back I just went straight to my room. I crawled onto the bed and laid down staring at the ceiling. I wonder what I'm going to do now I don't want to go to sleep and have anymore nightmares. But if I did start to have nightmares Sasuke would always be here when I wake up and that was nice to know. Even though I'm not sure Sasuke cares about me he's just following orders probably only comes in here to make sure I'm not going crazy. But then again Sasuke did defend me with Sakura who wasn't the least nice to me, and to think I used to like her. I laid there for a while crying to myself silently so that Sasuke won't hear me. But as I tried to stay awake my eye lids got heavier finally making me fall into sleep hoping my nightmares would stay away tonight. But unfortunately they did and there was nothing I could do about them but wait in till I awoke from my horrible sleep.

Sasuke's P.O.V.

I was heading up the stairs and towards my room when I heard a noise come from Naruto's room that sounded like a whimper. I walked over and slowly opened the door and saw Naruto curled in a ball moving around and whining in his sleep, he was having another nightmare again. I walked over to him and sat down on the bed pulling him into my lap cradling the blonde, and whispered into his ear softly.

"Naruto it's okay it's just a dream it'll be okay...shhhh."

Suddenly he quieted down some but was still moving some and groaning quietly. I pulled him closer as I leaned down and gave him a small kiss on the forehead. He stopped moving and making noise and snuggled close to me as I looked down at him, I didn't want to leave him he might start whining again and having those nightmares. I don't want him to be scared and alone and I didn't really want to leave him i was comfortable, so I stayed there and slowly fell asleep watching over my blonde as he lay in my arms.
