There was a slight displacement of air as the door was opened, then closed loudly, echoing throughout the hollow room. Sasuke flinched at the sound, having not expected it. He hadn't even realized how tense and anxious he'd been until he felt the light touch of Naruto's hand against his skin, a sudden wave of relief overcoming him. He let him be pulled closer to the younger teens warm body, silently wanting nothing more then to wrap his arms around the boy, as if he were afraid he'd never see him again. But, since he was unable to, he just leaned into the body, resting his head on the blondes shoulder. In this situation, he didn't mind expressing how glad he was that Naruto had come for him. He'd been scared and almost on the verge of panic before. After all, it wasn't every day you woke up blindfolded and your hands tied back, completely defensless and temporarily not remembering where you were or why.
Naruto let his lips brush softly against Sasuke's temple, his arms falling around the pale boys waist. He squeezed the small frame of the Uchiha's body, breathing in deeply his scent. The blonde couldn't think of a single thing he wanted to do more than take the blindfold and bindings off of his lover.. Had they been under different, more provocative circumstances, he might have i liked /i the blindfold and such, but right now, it hurt him for Sasuke to be restrained. What bothered him even more was the reasons why he was being restrained, the dark-haired ninja had been provoked, it wasn't just his fault. And he only knew fragments of the story.. only what he'd barely gotten from Ino. "What happened..?" He asked, not having to specify what he meant.
There was a few moments of silence, before Sasuke stepped out of the loose embrace. One could have sworn he was looking directly into the blondes eyes, if it hadn't been for the dark material covering his own. You could see the slight furrow in his brow as he opened his mouth to say something, then closed it again. "I.." He said with a bit of trouble, a dull pain coming from the mark on his shoulder at the remembrance. "I just..Lost myself." He said, his lips in grim line.
"Oh.." Was Naruto's reply, his hands falling awkwardly to his side from the sudden lack of contanct. He didn't like the way Sasuke looked so.. gone at the moment, he didn't like the frown-ish appearence his lips had taken, and the furrow of his brows, or the way he seemed to stumble over his words. Uchiha Sasuke did i not /i have issues with composure, he was.. seemingly uncaring at how people percieved him, he never faltered. But that didn't seem to be the case now.. "Don't look like that.." The blonde paused, his thumb tracing lightly Sasuke's bottom lip. "..like I'm the one punishing you. If I could, I'de have you out of here in a heartbeat."
Sasuke's brow furrowed a bit more at that, if anything he deserved punishment. What he did was unacceptable, how was he supposed to continue being a shinobi if he couldn't control the curse he'd been given? He'd made a promise to himself that he would never give Orochimaru the satisfaction of using it every again..But it seemed it was still the one controlling him, just like before. "I..I would have killed her, Naruto." Sasuke said in a quiet voice, as if he'd just realized how serious it could have been. "Then it would be like she said..I would become just like Itachi, my hands would have been stained with innocent blood." He took a small step backwards, not even realizing his body had unconciously moved.
Naruto looked down at the floor, he felt guilty that he couldn't do something about the way Sasuke was feeling right now, that he couldn't so much as i comfort /i his lover.. especially if he kept pulling away. "Sasuke.. you.. just come here.." He whispered, arms open slightly despite knowing the Uchiha couldn't see him. Maybe if he were holding the pale teen, then he'd be more.. at ease in the room, since it seemed to disturb him a little.
Sasuke continued to stare straight ahead, his arms hung limply in front of him, where they were tied together at the wrist. He imagined he probably looked pretty pathetic standing there. He was just wasting Naruto's time by being here, too. The moron didn't need to feel sorry for him, it was his own fault for being so weak, especially to only immature words of a person weaker then he himself..! He'd broken one of the main rules for a shinobi, not to show your emotions. His mask had cracked for a moment and it had taken it's toll. As if her talking about Naruto so horribly was bad enough, she had to finish it off with comparing him to Itachi.. 'Foolish little brother..' The raven bowed his head slightly in bother anger and frustration. He was almost glad he wasn't able to see, to look into those clear and trusting azure eyes. How could Naruto stand to look at him right now?
Naruto took a few steps forward, once again pulling his lover against him. Even if Sasuke tried to pull away again, he wasn't going to let him. It was his responsibility to take care of the Uchiha, whether it be making sure he wasn't sick, or making sure he was sane, it didn't matter, he just had to take care of him. That was top priority in his life, his reason for exsistance. Well, that and becoming Hokage. And once he was Hokage, he'd make sure nothing as horrible as the Uchiha massacre would ever happen again.. Because there wouldn't be any unfair treatment to members of any clan, and he'd even make it to where before a person could become a shinobi, they'd have to undergo mental evaluation and make sure they wouldn't go crazy and do something so rash as killing their whole family. He was sure that would make Sasuke happy, which would in turn, make him happy. But his happiness wasn't what was important, what was important was everybody else's happiness, since he'd already taken so much from the village because of the fox-demon sealed inside of him. Giving the pale body in his arms a slight squeeze to keep his thoughts on track, Naruto pressed his lips softly into the bruise he'd put on Sasuke's neck the night before from biting him. "Tell me what you're thinking about.."
"Nothing." Sasuke stated, glad that his voice didn't seem to be wavering like it had before. He wanted to roll his eyes at Naruto's stubborness, but didn't considering it'de be a waste of energy. He didn't even bother with trying to keep his eyes open under the blindfold, since he couldn't see through it, and he couldn't activate the sharingan due to lack of chakra. Couldn't Naruto see what he was trying to do? If the blonde wouldn't punish him, get upset or even hit him for how weak and stupid he'd been, then he'd do it himself, which would be depriving himself of what was most important to him. The orange-clad ninja himself. There was a few moments of silence after Sasuke had temporarily given up on wriggling out of the blondes arms before Sasuke decided to change his mind and re-think his answer. "I-it's just.." He murmured, pausing for a moment. "I don't regret what I did..After what she said about you and..And my family, I.." Really wanted her dead.. He finished in his head, wondering if that was really how he felt, or if it was the influence his anger and past had over him.
Naruto frowned, what exacly was Sasuke trying to accomplish by trying to move away from him? Was he.. mad at him for not trying harder to make him feel better? No.. Naruto was trying, what else could he do? "You.. what, Sasuke?" He asked, brows furrowed in confusion. Why was the pale boy acting so.. distant? He didn't seem to want the blonde to touch him, and he acted hesitant to even be near him.. He really just wished Sasuke would tell him what was wrong.. why he'd let himself falter, why he wouldn't just talk to him..! But, no way, would the blonde allow himself to be angry with Sasuke, especially in his current state..
"It's nothing." Sasuke said, snapping out of his thoughts. Just by the sound of Naruto's voice, he could imagine the frustratedly confused expression the whiskered teen probably had on his face. Perhaps..He was making a bigger deal out of this then it really was..? It wasn't completely his fault, was it? As much as he seemed to think it was, Naruto obviously thought otherwise..Either that or he'd just decided to stay on his side just for the hell of it. He decided to change the subject. "Have you eaten?" He asked suddenly, his voice actually sounding somewhat concerned. Naruto tended to get grumpy when he was deprived of a meal he'd observed long ago, and Sasuke always liked to make sure he got it. Naruto never really noticed, it was more like a habit of his. If he didn't take care of the dobe, who would, he always told himself. Though, suddenly asking such a wierd question and changing the subject drastically might have looked a bit strange. Especially when he'd actually been trying to put distance between them.
Naruto mentally flinched at the sudden change in subject. "N-no.. I got up and came after you.." Still holding onto the boy, the blonde leaned back a little, quickly scanning over the pale teen's features to check and make sure he was still Sasuke. "Are you.. okay?" He asked hesitantly, knowing Sasuke would say something along the lines of 'of course I'm not okay, I'm in here..'. But Naruto wasn't sure the Uchiha wasn't okay.. His temper wasn't his fault, and anybody would snap under the provoking of one Ino. One of the blonde's hands moved up, cupping his lover's pale cheek while patiently awaiting an answer.
Sasuke arched a brow, obviously catching the blonde off guard with the question. There was a slight apprehensive and confusing tone in his voice as Sasuke's face returned to it's seemingly blank expression. "I'm fine, dobe." He answered, grabbing the hand that rested against his cheek in his own. "You should go eat, though. Get some ramen from ichiraku's. You can put it on my tab." He offered in a neutral tone, not seeing the bizarre expression the blonde had on his face.
"I can't, even if I did put it on your tab." The blonde replied, reaching out to tap the end of Sasuke's nose playfully. He knew the Uchiha couldn't see, but he at least had to have known. "I can't get out of here, not until Tsunade comes back to get us at least." He explained. Now that he thought about it, he was kind of hungry. But it was his own fault for not eating before he left the house. If Sasuke had been there this morning when he'd woken up, they probably would have eaten together, and saved themselves a i lot /i of trouble today.
Sasuke snorted, reeling slightly and scrunching his nose from the slightly painful flick. Naruto was pretty known for being ignorant, so he didn't really hold it against him. Whether there are visitors or not, and depending on the level of the person in the room, there was always at least one ANBU guard assigned nearby to ensure no one comes in or out that isn't supposed to. "Ah.." He said with what would have looked like a frown, gravely accepting the explanation.
The younger teen frowned slightly, he'd came here to bring Sasuke out, and now, basically, they were both stuck in the room for a while.. with nothing to do. Besides.. well, nah, that was a bad idea, Naruto knew the Uchiha wouldn't be in the mood for that. But that didn't mean he couldn't get the pale teen there. The blonde shook his head to dispell his thoughts before they escalated into something he'd have to fix. "So.. what do you wanna do?"
Sasuke turned, walking back to where he'd been laying down when he woke up, assuming it was some type of small bed or cot. He'd remembered exactly where it was from when he's stood up earlier, it would almost have seemed like he could see where he was going. Remembering surroundings and clues, whether being able to see or not, was important to a shinobi, after all. He plopped down on the semi-soft surface, his back leaning against the wall as he sat in indian style. He actually contemplated being a smart ass and replying with something stupid like 'How about a game of hide and seek, no..Tic tac to- no..Rock paper scissors? Oh wait wrong again.' But he just couldn't seem to muster up enough humor to say it. "Wait until they release me?" He tried, like he was asking for Naruto's permission.
Naruto followed him to the small bed, taking the space next to his lover. He layed down, resting his head in Sasuke's lap. His hands lay themselves on the pale teen's ankles, and he let his eyes close. He took a deep breath, he didn't like the smell of this room, he decieded. It smelt to.. confined. And if boring had a smell, it would smell like that. "Hey, Sasuke?" The blonde called softly.
Sasuke sighed, tapping his head back against the wall behind him a few times in a bored fashion, hey, the walls were made for crazies anyway, weren't they? "Yeah?" He replied, his fingers absently made their way to the blondes hair, twirling and twisting the short blonde locks in between his fingers. It was almost surprising how soft his hair actually was.
The blonde yawned, the soft hands in his hair were making him sleepy. So sleepy, that he forgot what he was going to say. "Let's take a nap.." He answered instead, turning over and snuggling his face into the Uchiha's stomach, his hands tucked against his chest. "Sleep is good.. its nap time." ( i wish we still had nap time in high school, it would be great)
Sasuke quirked a brow, imagining Naruto probably already made himeslf comfortable and was intending to fall asleep..In his lap. It wasn't that he didn't want Naruto to be comfortable..But he wasn't comfortable. He wasn't comfortable in this room, on this bed. And he wasn't comfortable with Naruto's face so close to his crotch when he's supposed to be thinking about sleeping. "Dobe, I'm not gonna try to sleep sitting up." if I can even go to sleep at all. He thought to himself. He was tired, yes, very much so, the curse drained him every time it was used, not to mention the seals were meant to have that effect in the first place to keep him from try anything.
The blonde cracked his eyes open, peeking up at his lover. "Then what do you want to do?" He asked, absently letting his fingers snake underneath the pale teen's dark shirt. He smoothed his hands out across the soft skin, tempted, oh so tempted to pull off the material covering up the delicious body. He refrained however, and just sat still, staring up at Sasuke like a child waiting for a candy. (naruto wants sasukes candy, lol)
Sasuke huffed silently. "I meant that if I'm even going to try to sleep, as you so smartly presented.." He said, his usual condescending tone back in full force. "Then I'm not going to do it with your head in my lap or your hand up my shirt, as nice as it is." He added the last part silently for good measure, just to be nice, since he appreciated the blondes company.
Smiling, though he knew he couldn't see him, Naruto sat up. "Ok, so.. lets go to sleep." He offered, he always liked to cuddle up with Sasuke. It was fun, comforting.. almost better than sex, and he'd jump on the oppurtunity any time it was presented. He glanced at the size of the bed, it wasn't big, but it would hold the both of them if they scrunched up real close.
Sasuke let out another sigh, this time not bothering to conceal it. To tell the truth, Sasuke wasn't even sure which part of the bed he was sitting on, whether it was the foot or the head..Or even the middle. He also couldn't believe that Naruto had proposed to sleeping. Sleeping! Konoha's number one loud and obnoxious ninja wanted to sleep.
Naruto rolled his eyes. "C'mere.." He grabbed Sasuke by his shoulders, carefully pulling him into his lap as he adjusted their bodies into a laying position. After a few minutes of wriggling and squirming, he got it to where they were both comfortable, which was him laying on his back with Sasuke laying on top of his chest. His hands settled comfortably in the small of the Uchiha's back, and his eyes once again closed, this time, he was intent on actually sleeping.
Surprisingly, Sasuke found himself much more comfortable then he'd thought. If he hadn't known any better, he would have thought they were back at one of their houses laying in bed..Well except for the fact that it was completely obvious to him, the smell was different..Just the general air of the place they were in was unfamiliar to him. He slowly felt himself relax against Naruto's body, the warms hands on his back and the soft moving of Naruto's chest as he breathed was slowly lulling him to sleep.
Absently, the younger teen let one of his hands move up, fingers tangling in the soft black hair. His other hand, still on Sasuke's back, slid underneath his shirt, his finger tips tracing small, soft circles on the pale skin. He smiled, this was comfortable. Honestly, he didn't know why they hadn't done this more often. The blonde really liked just.. laying like this, he liked feeling Sasuke's heart beating against his chest, the gentle pressure applied between their bodies everytime one of them took a breath. Before he knew it, he'd lost all acknowledgment of the rest of the world, including their own little bubble, and he was peacefully dreaming of the many different things they could have been doing besides sleeping.
Sasuke was in that space between being asleep and being half asleep. He wasn't sure how long he'd been in there, or how long it had been since the blonde had showed up either. He didn't really have a good sense of time just then. His breathing still came in slow puffs as he shifted slightly, vaguely noticing the warm hand beneath his shirt that cause goosebumps to form on his arms. That could easily be passed as the coldness of the room, though.
Naruto grunted softly as he felt a weight shifting on top of him, his brows furrowing in his sleep as he mumbled something incoherent. Favoring sleep over bothering with whatever was moving on him, he ignored everything else, and slipped right back into his sleep, idly letting his hand slide out of Sasuke's shirt to rest on his ass. He didn't know what he was doing, of course, he was asleep.. But even while slumbering, the blonde was a bit of a pervert.
Tsunade sighed in frustration as she made her way down the stairs and into the corridor where the Uchiha was currently being held. Things had gone a little later then she's anticipated. She's gotten the complete story from Ino, the girl having fully understood the severeness of the situation. She'd figured the guilt and fear she felt was probably enough punishment and let her off. She'd have to deal with Sasuke..And Naruto, which was a given, later. The elders were also told of the situation, and albeit reluctant and with some coersion from the fifth hokage, decided to let the raven off the hook. She unlocked the door and walked into the obnoxious little room..Only to find something she hadn't been necessarily expecting. But then again, she hadn't known what she was expecting. On the small bed provided in the room was Naruto, and laying half on top of him was none other then the Uchiha himself, his binded hands clutched slightly to the blondes shirt as he slept. She supposed letting the brat into the room hadn't been a bad idea after all. Despite the loudness of Tsunade's entering, Sasuke didn't budge or even give a slight twitch as he'd fallen into a dead sleep, something that wouldn't have happened had Naruto not been there. The busty woman couldn't help but feel the corners of her mouth twitch slightly as she restrained a small smile at the scene as she cleared her throat rather loudly.
Naruto's eyes peeked open, who walked into a room and woke people up by coughing? Did this person never hear of gently waking people? He noticed who this person was, though, when he fully opened his eyes and actually looked. "Oi, Tsunade-baa-chan!" He called to her, rather loudly. Fully away, he gave Sasuke's shoulders a slight shake, pulling him out of his slumber. "Wake up, Sasuke." He whispered, prefering to wake the pale boy, not scare the shit out of him, suprised he hadn't woken when the blonde had yelled to Tsunade.
The blonde woman's brow twitched slightly at the direspectful nickname the brat always called her, but ignored it as she watched Naruto attempting to shke Sasuke awake. It was almost as if he'd been trying to wake up the dead, she observed, though after a few more minutes of annoying looking shaking, the black haired teens head twitched slightly before he looked around for a moment, like he forgot he was blindfolded. Naruto apparently didn't realize Sasuke was awake yet, though, because he was still shaking the poor kids shoulders. "I'm awake!" He finally exclaimed, pushing himself off and away from the blonde in an irritible fashion. Figures he isn't a morning person. "Well," She said looking between the two. "It seems you're off the hook, Uchiha." She said matter of factly, seeing the pale teens brows rise thoughtfully at the information. Sasuke was rather surprised that he was getting off that easily, having not been questioned or anything in the first place, for a moment he thought he may still be sleeping, or it was another kind of practical joke from someone who apparently had a really bad sense of humor.
Naruto pushed himself up from his laying position, sitting up in the small bed. He rubbed his palms into his eyes for a moment, trying to clear his vision up. "Does that mean we can leave now? And I can eat?" He asked, his stomach making a point by growling loudly. The blonde really regretted not eating before he left that morning, he swore it felt like he hadn't had a meal in days. In a way, Naruto was almost sad they were leaving, that meant Sasuke could take of the blindfold.. And as much as Naruto knew it bothered him, and as much as he'd hate to admit it (not), he really thought the Uchiha in a blindfold and bindings was kind of.. kinky. He'd have to wait til later to voice those thoughts, and maybe, with a little bit of hard work, the blonde would be able to convince his lover into experimenting. Hey, a little testing never hurt anybody, right?
"Well, I'de imagine so. I guess we can take these off.." Tsunade said gesturing to the sealing binds that were placed on the pale boy, quirking a brow at the strange look that seemed to flit over Naruto's face for a moment when he glanced over at his companion. She told Sasuke to stand up and put his hands out, which he did without a word. She preformed a few seals, which disengaged the chakra in the deal thus making it useless before she undid the small contraption, freeing the teens pale wrists. Lastly she removed the black material that had been placed over his eyes. Sasuke blinked repeatedly as it was removed, the air from the room cool against his newly uncovered skin. His vision was slightly blurry and it took a few moments to adjust to the bright lighting of the room as he absently rubbed his wrist where the material had been digging into his skin as he slept.
With a yawn, Naruto stood up from the bed, stretching his arms over head. He shook his head to get rid of the edges of sleep still threatening to creep back onto him. With a smirk, he placed his elbow on Sasuke's shoulder. "Wanna go get some ramen with me? You're still paying, whether you come with me or not." He stated, stomach growling loudly again for emphasis. He was always up for ramen he didn't have to pay for. The blonde couldn't wait til he could get some food in his stomach, and get out of the annoyingly.. boring room.
Sasuke glanced at the blonde moron, shrugging his elbow off his shoulder, an almost smile trying to creep onto his face at the obnoxious teen. "Hn." He said, giving Tsunade a curt nod before he moved to leave the room. He paused and sent a glance over his shoulder when he noticed Naruto wasn't following him. "You coming or what, dobe?" He deadpanned, shoving his hands into his pickets when the blonde practically skipped to catch up with him as they finally made their way out of the large building. Sasuke paused for a moment to close his eyes and take a deep breath of fresh air before his serene expression was masked once again by his perfected impassive facade. He ignored the looks that he got from the villagers as they made their way down the street, the stares actually being sent at him this time instead of Naruto. Ichiraku's was just ahead of them.
Naruto briefly considered lacing his arm around Sasuke's as they walked through the streets, but he remembered his lover didn't want their relationship public, though he wasn't so sure all of the villagers didn't already know considering what had happened at the party last night. He pouted in his thoughts, he didn't like the idea of keeping what he was the most happy about secret. But he was sure that the Uchiha had a good reason for it, it would have to be, Sasuke wouldn't do something unless it had a point. Well, at least he'd get to eat his favorite meal with him, and then they'd probably go to their homes, to do all of nothing until they had to get up for training the next day. What a joyous cycle, but with any luck, it would change and they'd find something else to do besides sit in their homes.
Sasuke stopped when they got to the the small outdoor restraunt as he held open the small flaps and waited for the blonde to step in ahead of him, a slightly affectionate gesture. He took a seat in the stool next to Naruto's and rested his elbows on the counter, his chin in his palms. It seemed be in a bit into the evening by now, probably around 4 or 5, he mused silently. It was long past the time they were supposed to meet for training. He wondered silently what went through Sakura and Kakashi's, who probably showed up late to find one student, minds when neither of them showed.
With his usual grin in place, Naruto ordered his noodles, barely waiting for them to cool before starting the task of slurping them down, mouthful by mouthful. Though as hungry as he was, he didn't feel up to gulping down a million bowls today. He just wasn't really in the mood to empty out Sasuke's pockets for his ramen. The blonde mentally scowled at himself for being in such a weird mood, he had no reason to be, he was with his favorite person, in his favorite place, eating his favorite food. Maybe it was because he was with his favorite person, but not able to do his favorite things, like holding his hand, or exchanging kisses, like every other couple in Konoha did. But then again, they wearn't like every couple, in the sense that they were both guys. Not that he thought it was wrong or anything, he just didn't get why people would make such a big deal about it..
Sasuke blinked out of his silent daze, glancing to his left, where Naruto was sitting with a thoughtful look on his face, his chopsticks hovering just in front of his mouth with steaming noodles ready to be eaten. He silently wondered what could possibly be on the idiots mind to distract him from his precious ramen. He grabbed the blondes hand and pulled it toward him a bit and leaned in, stealing the noodles he'd been about to eat before letting go and leaning back against the counter as if nothing had happened.
"Hey!! Teme, I was gonna eat those!" Naruto exclaimed, a mock pout on his face. "Get your own, fatty." He commanded jokingly, using his free hand to poke the Uchiha's stomach. Scooping up some more of the noodles, he shoveled them into his mouth, swallowing them practially without chewing. He was almost suprised that he hadn't choked to death on a noodle, with the speed he ate at anyway..
"Techinically, this is mine." Sasuke drawled slyly, gesturing to the bowl the blonde was eating from. He ignored the blondes 'fat' comment. He wasn't some self-concious girl that was worried about the way he looked. "If you were going to eat them, then you should have instead of letting them dangle while you zoned out like a moron."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. I was thinking, leave me alone.." The blonde explained, waving off his lover. Sure, Sasuke had payed for it, but he'd given it to him, so 'technically' it i wasn't /i the pale teen's anymore. Naruto slurped up the last of his noodles, standing up from his chair with a happy sigh. "C'mon, Sasuke.. let's go find something to do." i I could think of a few things.. /i
"Okay." Sasuke agreed absently, paying the man for the..Surprisingly, one bowl of ramen before following the blonde back out. The wind was blowing gently and the sun warming him through his dark clothes as he walked about a hald a step behind Naruto, letting the blonde, for once, lead them to wherever it was he wanted to go. He glanced back in front of them from where he'd been looking up at the sky only to see two familiar heads of blonde and pink hair walking toward them ahead. He paused slightly in his walking when his eyes met the seafoam green ones of Sakura, her eyes widening a bit before returning back to normal, as if she were surprised to see him. Surely she probably knew what had happened, especially with Ino as her best friend, there was no telling what or whom she could have told.
Naruto turned around, walking backwards since he had the village practically mapped out in his mind. His shoved his hands in his pocket, sticking his tounge out at Sakura's and Ino's backs, though they couldn't see him. He did it mostly just for his own laughs and to possibly get a laugh, or even a small smile out of Sasuke. The blonde had noted that the Uchiha didn't smile enough, that was partly his problem. If he would just.. laugh a little more, things wouldn't be so.. hard.
Sasuke just quirked a brow at the childish gesture. He knew he'd have to confront Ino later..Sometime. As much as he didn't really feel up to it, he knew he probably owed the mind switching kunoichi an apology for almost ending her life that morning. "Oi, dobe watch out for tha-" He'd started to say, seeing a small stone protruding in their path, though before he could finish three was a loud thump as Naruto squawked and practically lost his balance as his foot caught on it. Sasuke felt his lips twitch slightly in amusement.
Naruto chuckled to himself, but kept walking like it was nothing, though he turned around and fell in step next to his lover to prevent another accident. "Wanna go to my house?" He offered, prodding Sasuke's side with his elbow playfully. "Or yours.. it dosen't matter, I just don't wanna be by myself." If there was one thing the blonde hated, it was being alone. He hated the awkward silence when he was by himself, the way his thoughts seemed to echo throughout the room. It was always better if someone else was there to talk with..
'You don't want to be by yourself?' Sasuke thought incredulously, tucking his hands into his pockets and giving the blonde a neutral look and a shrug. They were closer to his house, he noted, though that didn't mean the moron did. "We can go to mine if you want." He offered, the words sounding slightly akward to him. He never really openly invited or welcomed people to his so-called 'home', it was usually a silent agreement, or Naruto just showing up at his window without warning. He stared at the blonde for a few more moments before glancing back at his feet as he walked.
"Sure, its closer, anyway." Naruto answered, watching the ground as he walked to save himself anymore trouble. Every few seconds the blonde would glance over at Sasuke, as if making sure he was still next to him. Naruto loved the pale boy, he really did, and he wanted to whole village to know that Sasuke was his, no one elses. He hated how all the girls in the village swooned over i his /i Sasuke, but he couldn't say anything to them, it might be suspicious. "Hey, Sasuke?"
