It was a dark day out. Yesterday Kakashi had moved in and let's just say Naruto didn't get much sleep. He stared out his window at the darkened sky. The weather didn't bother him, It was just that lately he'd been thinking. He decided that he would end his troubles soon. He turned to his computer when he heard a beep.

Shybutterfly72: Hey Naruto. Happy Birthday!

Everybody'sFool: Hey thanks Hinata.

Shybutterfly72: So what are you doing today. Want to hang out?

Everybody'sFool: I've got plans. Sorry!

Shybutterfly72: That's alright. See you for school tomorrow. Bye

Everybody'sFool: Yeah tomorrow. BYE

Sasuke...

CrimsonPrince: So, Hinata, Is he doing anything.

Shybutterfly72: He said he had plans. It doesn't sound good cause when he said bye He wrote it in all caps.

CrimsonPrince: Shit. What do I do?

Shybutterfly72: Tell him it's you. I mean you told me and Sakura.

CrimsonPrince: That's different. Your not him.

Shybutterfly72: Look I have to go. Just tell him.

CrimsonPrince: I'll try okay.

Shybutterfly72: Okay.

Sasuke bowed his head and breathed. This was like plunging into icy water. He clicked on Naruto's screen name.

CrimsonPrince: Naruto you there.

Everybody'sFool: AutoResponse: I am at the old swing by the academy. If it's an emergency come find me.

CrimsonPrince: oh okay I will find you then.

Sasuke felt panic rising in his chest as he remembered the other night. It was like that again, a sinking feeling. He stood and grabbed his jacket. Then he began the walk to the swing and unknown to him his fate.

Naruto...

Naruto sat on the swing and moved around. He was thinking about how he should end his life. Something painless or with little pain. Who wants to be burdened by pain that he has lived with his whole life when he is ending that pain. He was so lost in thought he didn't hear approaching footsteps. He was thinking out loud and Sasuke heard all of it.

Sasuke...

Sasuke heard Naruto's plans and couldn't stop the tears that were coming. He swallowed back a sob as he watched the blond boy sitting alone in the puring, freezing rain. He was overcome with an urge to grab Naruto and hold him until they both got sick from the cold rain. His feet inconciuosly carried him forward.

" Dobe," He whispered.

Naruto...

Naruto felt tears sliding down his cheeks mixing with the rain. He was sitting there alone with noone to comfort him.

" Dobe," Someone whispered behind him.

His eyes widened as he placed the word used by CrimsonPrince to the voice he heard. Suddenly it all fit. He turned to see Sasuke Uchiha dripping wet standing in front of him.

" Why," The uchiha's eyes searched his.

Naruto looked down and shut his eyes.

" You. It was you all along. Wasn't it?" Naruto said.

" Yeah it was me. I just couldn't face you," Sasuke looked at the blond.

" How much did you hear just now?" Naruto asked.

" All of it. I don't...," He said.

The blond looked up and swallowed. The look in Sasuke's eyes were tormented. He didn't have time to think before Sasuke was pulling him into an embrace. Naruto felt his heart swell as if it would burst. Sasuke held the blond as he cried. They sat in the rain for a while.

Sasuke...

It took everything in sasuke to not smother the poor little blond in a tight hug. H watched Naruto stare at the ground. Naruto looked up into Sasuke's eyes with his inncoent blue eyes. Sasuke felt his heart break. He dragged Naruto down into an ebrace. Both of them sat on the ground until they were thoroughly soaked. Sasuke let Naruto cry into his shoulder and though he would never admit it he cried too.

" I love you Naruto," He whispered.

" I love you too," Naruto looked up and dried his tears.

He clung to Sasuke.

Naruto...

" Let's get you home and into dry clothes," Sasuke sniffled.

Naruto let out a sad smile as Sasuke stood. He held out a hand and Sasuke helped him uo. He put his head on Sasuke's shoulder as they walked home. He tried not to cry anymore even though he was still sad. He felt a warm hand on his chin. Black eyes studied his withinterest in them.

" I Love you," Sasuke whispered

Naruto held his breath as Sasuke put his face sloser to his. Then he let out a breath when their lips met.

Sasuke...

Sasuke took Naruto's face in his hand and pulled him closer. He looked into Naruto's eyes and Naruto returned the gaze with intensity.

" I love you," Sasuke whispered.

He let their lips crash together and felt Naruto let out a rushed breath. He moved his lips against Naruto's gently. Then he pulled back and hugged Naruto close to him. The dark sky finally stopped the rain and they were left staring at the shining stars. Naruto turned to Sasuke and smiled.

" Night," He said and kissed Sasuke's cheek.

" Night," Sasuke smiled as he placed his hands in his pockets.

Naruto turned to walk up the steps. He looked over his shoulder and said," Love you, teme."

"Love you too, dobe," Sasuke walked away.

He smiled as he walked down the empty streets remembering the way he felt when he held Naruto. He realized he didn't want to be alone again. He turned and walked back. Sasuke climbed the tree outside of Naruto's window and knocked on the glass. Naruto looked up shocked but opened the window anyway.

" What are," He managed to get out before Sasuke attacked his lips and pulled him in for a hug.

Sasuke felt as if he couldn't get close enough to the boy he loved so much. When they broke for air naruto smiled.

" I have to get dressed for bed," He announced.

Sasuke smirked and turned so Naruto would have privacy.

Naruto...

When Naruto finished changing he walked up behind Sasuke and slipped his arms around him from behind. He smiled as he traced small patterns on the toned stomach of the uchiha. His Uchiha.

Sasuke...

Sasuke smiled as Naruto hugged him from behind. He felt smooth fingers tracing patterns on his stomach. He shut his eyes and let his emotions take over. He stood still as Naruto had his fun.

Naruto...

They layed down on Naruto's bed and Naruto rested his head on Sasuke's chest and still felt the smooth skin beneath his fingers. Sasuke's shirt had been abandoned a while ago so now Naruto's cheek rested against bare skin. He loved the feel of the pale velvety texture. Soon enough sleep pulled at his eyes and he gladly obliged as Sasuke tucked him into his arms.

Sasuke...

Sasuke lay watching his dobe sleep. Feeling the even rise and fall of Naruto's chest against his stomach. He shut his eyes and fell asleep listening to the rhythm of their hearts beating together. This was heaven...

Naruto was all he ever needed.
