Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, or Sasuke, or any of the stupid fights they have while holding hands COME ON GUYS

Summary: Uchiha Sasuke left his friends behind to follow in his father's footsteps. 7 years later, he finds himself in an elevator with the last person he wanted to see. Will he walk away again? Will Naruto let him? Rating may change!

Anyways, last one of the therapy extras! I hope you enjoy. Please vote in the poll on my profile!


Strictly Professional Extras

Therapy

Later that night, Sasuke was still awake. Naruto very obviously wasn't, as evidenced by the snoring and occasional mumbling. The blonde rolled over to face him, slurring something about paper airplanes and hitting Sasuke in the shoulder with a surprising amount of force.

Sasuke smiled, and shuffled closer to Naruto. His blonde eyebrows were furrowed and he twitched when Sasuke went to brush his hair out of his face. Sasuke snorted and sat up just enough to reach the top of Naruto's head to scratch it. Naruto was never the type to have trouble sleeping, but run your hands through his hair and he was out like a light.

'Like a puppy,' Sasuke thought, smiling to himself. He scratched Naruto's head until the blonde fell into a more peaceful dream, and then withdrew his hand.

Naruto, however, had other plans. As soon as Sasuke went to move his hand away, he somehow managed to grab onto it, rolling over so that his butt was pressed against Sasuke's crotch. He had Sasuke's hand cuddled to his chest.

Sasuke rolled his eyes, but leaned in to press his head against the back of Naruto's neck. He fell asleep with a smile on his face.


Miraculously, neither of them moved during the night—of course, Naruto didn't know this, because as usual, Sasuke woke with the light and Naruto remained blissfully oblivious.

Unfortunately, his hand was still trapped. He tried to pull it away, but Naruto just tightened his grip. He sighed. He was fighting a battle between his libido and his bladder, and his bladder was winning.

All at once, the fight from yesterday came back to his mind, and he felt himself shrink a little. Naruto acted like all was well, and maybe it was, but it didn't stop Sasuke from feeling like a shithead who didn't deserve such a positive force in his life.

Suddenly, his bladder didn't seem like such an issue. He leaned into Naruto and closed his eyes.


Naruto was surprised when he woke up before Sasuke, but he wasn't complaining. The Uchiha looked awfully peaceful, and Naruto wasn't about to disturb him. He slipped out from under the covers as gracefully and quietly as he could.


When Sasuke woke up again, he was alone and he was cold. He vaguely remembered a dream where Naruto and him were fighting again, and he sighed. He debated writing the whole day off and going back to sleep again, but he had slept too much already and could feel the headache coming. He rolled onto his back and looked up at the ceiling. It was as if his insecurities had been hiding under the surface, and sprung up all at once.

He forced himself to sit up, and wiped at his eyes, trying to get his sleep-heavy thoughts in order.

The door opened.

"Hey," Sasuke said, somehow relieved. The blonde was had pancakes and a grin.

"Why do you sound so surprised to see me?" The blonde laughed, and plopped a plate in front of Sasuke.

Sasuke's lips quirked up a little and he hid his face under his bangs.

"Where are you going?" Sasuke would forever deny the completely irrational panic he felt as Naruto headed to the door.

The blonde turned back with sparking eyes and a playful smile that nearly made Sasuke's heart stop. "You may like your pancakes plain but that doesn't mean the rest of us sane people do," he grinned, leaving the door open as he practically bounded back to the kitchen.

He took longer than Sasuke would have liked, and came back carrying an armful of various things. Sasuke quirked an eyebrow.

"I couldn't decide!" Naruto blushed and unceremoniously dropped everything onto the bed.

"Naruto!" Sasuke said, trying to catch the sugar before the lid fell off.

"Oh relax," Naruto rolled his eyes, "I made sure all of the lids were on tight before I got here."

Sasuke eyed the pile doubtfully. "Alright, but if you get maple syrup on my bed, you have to clean it off."

"What if I get maple syrup on you?" Naruto waggled his eyebrows. Sasuke chuckled.

"I would hold you responsible for that, too," he said.

Naruto grinned. "You do know you're supposed to discourage me from wanting to spill the syrup, right?"

Sasuke laughed. "Sit down before they get cold."

"Okay!" Naruto bounced onto the bed, grabbing the plate and pulling it into his lap. Sasuke frantically grabbed his own to stop it from spilling everywhere.

"Should I go for the chocolate chips or the strawberries first?" Naruto was fiddling through the food he had brought.

"Did you bring everything I had in there?" Sasuke asked.

"I…you had so much! Why do you even have this much food at your place?"

Sasuke blushed. "I always think I'm going to cook more than I do," he muttered.

Naruto laughed. "Well it's a good thing you have me to eat it all now, huh?"

Naruto had a playful, smug grin and Sasuke couldn't help but lean over and kiss him.

"Yeah," he muttered against Naruto's lips, "good thing."


"You're so quiet today," Naruto said as they were loading the dishwasher.

Sasuke blinked. "I didn't think I was usually loud."

"Well, you're not," Naruto said, "but you're not this quiet. I don't think you've called me an idiot once today!"

Naruto chuckled at his own joke, but Sasuke looked away.

"Sasuke?" Naruto asked.

"You…you know I don't actually think that right?" Sasuke said quietly.

Naruto looked surprised.

"What, that I'm an idiot?" He closed the dishwasher and moved to stand in front of Sasuke, "duh."

"I'm pretty sure I've told you that before, too. I've seen the way you act with people who you actually think are idiots." Naruto scoffed, "and why on earth would you be dating me if that's what you thought?"

Sasuke nodded, eyes still low.

"Sasuke?" Naruto said, after a moment. "You're kinda worrying me. What's up?" He pulled Sasuke's chin up to look him in the eyes.

"Nothing," Sasuke said, almost automatically, "sorry." He moved away from the blonde.

"Oh no you don't," Naruto cut him off by moving in front of him. "You're a terrible liar, Sasuke. Talk to me."

Naruto's eyes were serious. Sasuke took a moment to appreciate what a good look it was on him.

"Sasuke?"

Sasuke looked down and up again. Naruto was quiet, patient. This combination between the loudmouthed idiot he was used to and this new calm attitude seemed to always break him down.

"You spent years chasing after me," Sasuke almost whispered.

Naruto didn't reply, just continued to watch him and wait.

The next few words were so quiet he barely heard them.

"I'm not worth that."

It took a moment for the words to register.

"The hell you're not!" He shoved Sasuke back into the counter. He felt the pain in his lower back and looked up into Naruto's angry eyes.

"Sasuke—"

"No, listen to me," he forced his voice not to shudder, "you've changed. A lot over the years. In a good way," he added hastily at the look in Naruto's eyes. "Just because you were in…just because you liked me in high school does not—by any means—mean you will now. And I'm just waiting for you to find—"

Naruto kissed him: a rough, passionate kiss that slammed his back against the counter again.

"You're an idiot," Naruto pulled away just enough to talk. "You're the biggest idiot in the world if you think that's true."

He kissed Sasuke again, before he could talk.

"But that's okay, bastard," he whispered against his lips, "I'm just gonna have to prove you wrong."

Naruto gave him a playful, determined smile and Sasuke's world felt right again.


A/N: Bit of a shorter one, but I liked how it ended here :) I hope you did too!

Next few fics are almost up and running. Honestly, I think one of them's ready to go - the only thing I'm waiting on is votes in the poll on my profile (alternatively, leave a review with what you want me to do with explicit stuff!)

Till next time!
