A/N: Hey there everyone. This is chapter 3. I know it's taken a while for me to put out but I think you'll probably be happy with it. I'll try to update sooner for you but I can't make promises. So for now I'll leave you with this.
Enjoy!

Patching Up or Tearing Apart?

Naruto opened the door to the place that he called home. It was an absolute mess. He sighed, too tired to do anything about it. He closed the door and walked into the house. He fell onto his bed and didn't bother to pull the covers up over him. He closed his eyes and saw Sasuke, he was quickly pulled away from his sight be a very grumpy Sakura. He soon fell asleep, dreaming about Sasuke. If only things could've been different.
----
Sasuke was thinking about Naruto as he laid down in bed. He had just finished packing and was now trying to get to sleep. Needless to say, he was not falling asleep. Actually the longer he laid there the more awake he became. He was tired and extremely sick of thinking about Naruto. He couldn't stand it anymore. It hurt. He just wanted it to go away. Make the thoughts go away and the pain will follow. These were the words that Sasuke lived by.
Sasuke was starting to get drowsy and he suddenly had an idea. He couldn't get Naruto out of his head and he really wanted to see him. What if he went to Naruto's while the boy was asleep and watched him? That's not technically considered stalking is it?
Sasuke didn't care at this point. He knew the boy was asleep, it was late and Sasuke had been tossing and turning for hours. He sat up, this time when Sasuke saw Naruto there wouldn't be any yelling or fighting, it would just be calm. It would be the two of them just like before this big mess happened. Sasuke smiled. Any relief of this horrible pain was good enough for him.
----
Sasuke was quietly walking out the door. He was being as quiet as humanly possible; he didn't want anyone to know that he was leaving his home in the middle of the night. He had second thoughts about his 'brilliant' plan but pushed those thoughts away. He didn't want to turn around when he was so close.
Sasuke saw Naruto's house and took an audible swallow. 'It's now or never,' he whispered to himself. Sasuke looked up and saw that the window was open. He was up in the tree with one jump and looked into the sleeping boy's bedroom. This is wrong. Sasuke thought as he watched the boy breathe in and out. He's sprawled out on the bed like when we used to be… NO! I can't think things like that anymore. Naruto's angry at me.
Sasuke wasn't happy with just watching anymore. He wanted more. He knew what he had had and he wanted it back. He wanted it back now.
Sasuke realized that while he had been thinking about Naruto, his feet had taken him into the boy's room. He was about to crawl back out the window until he looked back at Naruto and saw the moon hitting his face, making him look like an angel. He just couldn't bring his feet up to the sill of the window. Sasuke walked over to the boy's bed very quietly so that he wouldn't wake him up and touched the boy's face very lightly, this was an embarrassing situation to be found in when you're in a fight with your lover.
'Sasuke?' the boy said unaware that the said boy was actually in the room.
Sasuke was taken back. Was Naruto awake and toying with him or was he really asleep and that was the first thing that came to mind? Sasuke didn't know and he wasn't about to find out. He turned towards the window but was pulled back by his wrist. He looked back to see that Naruto had grabbed his wrist and was pulling the boy down to lay with him. Sasuke looked at Naruto's face and saw that the boy was smiling.
Naruto chuckled when he saw the look on Sasuke's face as he was pulled down.
Sasuke had just fallen on the bed when he felt two arms snake around him. Sasuke smiled. He was so happy that it actually kind of hurt him to think about it. Was this really happening or was Naruto just tired and felt like snuggling up to someone? Sasuke didn't care and felt Naruto snuggle into the curve of his neck.
'I missed this,' Naruto whispered to Sasuke's neck.
'Me too,' Sasuke said feeling horrible about being assigned to a mission. He was just starting to patch things up with Naruto and he was assigned to a top-secret mission. He was mentally hitting himself but still managed to turn over onto his back.
'Let's just put this whole Sakura thing behind us. Forget that it ever happened,' Naruto said looking down on Sasuke and leaning in a little closer.
Sasuke shivered at the thought of kissing Sakura like that would ever happen. It wasn't that Sakura was ugly or anything. She just wasn't Sasuke type.
Naruto saw Sasuke shiver and a little bit of his confidence slipped away. He had been going to kiss Sasuke but was now too scared to in fear of doing something that the boy didn't want.
Sasuke saw that Naruto had hesitated and he pushed his face up and closed the distance between their lips. Naruto smiled when he realized what Sasuke was doing and leaned down to kiss him back. Sasuke put a hand on the other boy's hip and pulled it closer so that they were touching. Naruto felt himself melt at the touch but proceeded in pushing the boy down flat on the matress. How could he have ever doubted Sasuke? Naruto soon lost himself in the kiss and thought about nothing else then Sasuke and how much he had missed this after what seemed like forever.

Sasuke felt sunlight on his eyelids and turned away from the blinding sunlight. It was too early in the morning for that. Sasuke felt that there was someone behind him that he hadn't noticed before. Someone who was holding onto him for dear life. He opened his eyes to be met with blue eyes that were watching him.
'I didn't wake you did I?' Sasuke asked the blonde who was quite still. Almost unblinking.
'No, I've been awake for a while.' Naruto opened his mouth to say something but closed it again. He must not have thought it important to say.
'What?' Sasuke asked the boy. It had to be something worth saying because the blonde now had a far away look in his eyes. As if he was daydreaming.
'I forgot,' Naruto said absentmindedly.
'Are you sure? You know you can tell me stuff. I won't turn away from you or hate you or anything,' Sasuke said touching the boy's face. He could see the start of tears in Naruto's eyes. Sasuke sat up and pulled the boy's head to his chest. The brunette stroked the boy's hair and said indistinct things that were supposed to be things like 'It's okay' and 'You know you can talk to me about it'. They just didn't make it past Sasuke's lips.
'Sasuke, how could Sakura have come between us like that? I don't know why I got so angry. I'm so sorry for what I said and did.'
'I know Naruto, It's okay. Everything is going to be okay. We just have to stay together.' After I get back from the mission. Sasuke was debating if he should tell Naruto that he was going on a top-secret mission. Tsunade said not to tell anyone he was going, so he didn't tell him. Sasuke felt guilty about it but tried not to let it show. The brunette was brought back to reality when he felt something wet touching his chest. He looked down to see that Naruto was silently crying. Sasuke resumed stroking the boy's hair and whispering to him.
'Sasuke, that's enough. I'm not a woman you know,' Naruto said to the brunette picking his head up off the boy's chest.
'I suppose not,' Sasuke said in a teasing tone. This earned him a punch from Naruto.
----
Sasuke had just left Naruto's house and was pacing in his room. I should've told him. Why didn't I tell him? These two phrases kept running through his head over and over again. Sasuke was mentally slapping himself for being so stupid. He should've told Naruto. Now the boy was going to hate him. ERGH… he was so frustrated.
'Sasuke what are you doing,' someone asked from the boy's doorway.
Sasuke whipped around to see that Kakashi was standing in his doorway. 'What do you want?' he asked looking at the clock.
'It's time to go. You'll be late.'
'You're one to talk,' Sasuke said chuckling. Kakashi was always late for their meetings. Why would this be any different?
'Yes, I am. I'm your sensei. Don't talk back. Are you ready?'
'Yeah, I'm ready,' Sasuke said resigning himself to a life without Naruto. Once the news about him leaving the village without telling Naruto was out then Sasuke and Naruto would be no more.

A/N: So that's the end of chapter 3. While you're waiting why not review. It would make me happy and a happy Shimizu is one who updates faster. Unless I have writers block or something (I don't think that will happen soon though so you don't have to worry)
Thanks
