(a/n: i'm so sorry!! i've had this typed up since Tuesday, but i haven't been able to get on the comp when the enternet was still on (it shuts off at six) so, happy belated birthday Naru-chan!)
Naruto sat alone in the practice field, hugging his knees to his chest. Training had ended hours ago and his teammates had left not long after. A tear slowly slid down his cheek and he hugged his knees closer to his chest. He heard the shouts of people at the festival and part of him wished he could join them, but he knew they wouldn't let him.
"What's wrong with you?" asked a familiar voice. He looked up to see Sasuke, his best friend and crush, He turned away, so Sasuke wouldn't see his tear stricken face, muttering an almost inaudible 'nothing'.
Sasuke squatted down in front of Naruto. "What was that? I couldn't hear it."
"I said 'nothing', teme." he said, still avoiding Sasuke's eyes.
"Obviously it's not nothing if it's making you cry,"
"Do you know what day it is?" he asked, glaring at the older boy.
"Yeah, October tenth."
"And?" the blonde inquired.
"And…?" Sasuke repeated, only more like a hesitant question.
"My birthday." said Naruto dryly.
"I know." Sasuke replied, wiping off the tears from Naruto's face, "I got you a present, too." With that, Sasuke closed the short distance between them and kissed Naruto passionately on the lips.
He pulled away a few moments later. "What was that?" asked Naruto, looking surprised.
"Your present." Sasuke said with a smirk, "Now lets go to Ichirakus, my treat."
Sasuke stood up and offered his hand to Naruto, who gladly accepted it. They held hands as they walked through the town, talking and laughing the whole way (or more Naruto did…).
When it was time for them to go home Sasuke kissed Naruto on the cheek, whispering "Happy birthday." before leaving.
Naruto smiled to himself, touching the spot where the Uchiha's lips graced his cheek. "It was, Sasuke, it was." he whispered to no one in particular before running home.
