[[KAKASHI's POV]]

It was past midday when I arrived at the training grounds and I could already feel the tension in the air.

"What had happened now?" A quick glance revealed that Naruto wasn't present, I should be surprised but he was always late. We'll start without him, although the group activities would have to wait.

"Good Morning guys"

"Good Morning Kakashi-sensei" Sakura was the only one who answered me, Sasuke was busy brooding by himself.

"Well I can see that Naruto isn't here, is he running late?"

"Oh, well about that sensei, Naruto was here but he said he was sick and left. I keep telling him to stop eating ramen all day but does he listen to me? No!" It was going to be a long day. I rubbed my temples trying to decide what to do with them, something easy would be best considering Sasuke's mood.

"No matter, we will just practice the basics today."

I watched as they set up their targets, Sasuke took a little longer than usual and when he moved I could see why. He had attached a picture of Naruto's face into the middle.

"Sasuke, there's something on your target," I called out.

"I don't see anything" He replied. These two would be the death of me, I'm sure.

"Okay, you can begin." I watched with half-hearted interest as Sasuke impaled the picture of Naruto's face over and over again. It was almost too much to watch, obviously they had another fight. The picture of Naruto had eventually been turned into ribbons that fell to the ground. Sasuke went up to the messy pile and stomped on the remains before kicking them away. Honestly speaking I was a little unnerved. This wouldn't do,

"I suddenly remember something I have to do today, training is done for today. And Sasuke, uh, make sure you clean up Naruto's face" I waved and walked away. Sakura was already calling after Sasuke who had left without a word.

[[NARUTO's POV]]

After I had left the training I went home to hide. I can't even be around Sasuke without my skin becoming hot, how am I supposed to train with him. I let out a loud sigh,

"This is too confusing." My stomach replied with a growl, perhaps it would be a good idea to get something to eat. Eating would help me think straight.

I sat down at Ichiraku's and ordered my favourite ramen. It was difficult to stop thinking about the kiss between Sasuke and me, I played with my fingers, tapping them on the table. I was staring so intently at them I hadn't noticed my ramen or the figure that sat next to me.

"Naruto, you must be sick if you're not even going to eat."

"Huh?" I looked up and seen Kakashi's smiling eyes.

"Kakashi-sensei, sorry I wasn't at the training. I uh, suddenly felt sick."

"It wouldn't happen to have anything to do with Sasuke?" I choked on my noodles,

"What. No. Why? That's stupid." I probably went to overboard on the defence, Kakashi just nodded and we didn't speak again until I had finished my food.

" Hey sensei..." Kakashi looked at me, waiting for me to finish my question,

"Have you ever, I mean If you like one person but all of a sudden you keep thinking about another person does that mean you like that person?"

Kakashi raised his eyebrow, his interest piqued.

"Have you met another girl?" he asked me,

"Of course not, I was just curious."

"It would seem to me, that if you always think about someone then you do care about them. Whether you like them or not depends. Do you want to, oh I don't know, kiss the person?" I hoped Kakashi couldn't see the beads of sweat starting to form along my forehead, I started to laugh and slapped him on the back,

"You're so funny, who is kissing who? I don't like anyone other than Sakura but she'd kill me if I tried that." Kakashi looked at me curiously, I felt like he was using his Sharingan to look into my mind. Could he do that? I suddenly became extremely aware of what I had asked Kakashi, why would I ask him something like that. The panic started to set in.

"Don't be discouraged if they are different from you, you'll be surprised." It is true, Sasuke and I are different, he's an angry jerk and I'm a loveable nice guy. Or maybe the biggest difference is that we are both men, how can that even work? I lowered my eyes to the floor,

"We're too different" I said under my breath,

"What was that?" Kakashi asked me, I realised I had spoken out loud.

"Idiot Naruto, do you want Kakashi-sensei to think something weird?" I violently shook my head,

"Nothing, nothing. I better get going sensei." Quickly I went to leave before I said anything else that could get me in trouble.

"Naruto!" He called as I tried to leave, "Love isn't a sickness" he replied and smiled at me. I sputtered and denied what he was implying.

"I really am sick, Look how pale I am, what kind of teacher are you to treat your sick student like this?" I ran out of the store, my heart beating too fast. It was going to explode from embarrassment.

[[KAKASHI's POV]]

I watched as Naruto left the ramen stall and I was surprised at how easy it was to read him.

"So that's how it is" I laughed,

"Sasuke is angry, Naruto is sick, he's thinking about people and Sasuke is using his face as a pin cushion. These two boys really don't understand." I took my time walking back home, The plot of this story was too good, I was almost looking forward to seeing how the two would move on from here. Happy ending or not?

"You need a hobby," I said to myself.
