Author Note: This is really turning into a sweet little story, much better than I expected it to be. It's a little slow moving at the moment but hopefully I will get this story going again as soon as possible. I did write this chapter a while back but didn't post because I couldn't find Asaroth. Other than that, this chapter turned out to be a bit short but I hope that's ok.

Ranting: K/T. I can't pick which one is best for this story. I'm really sorry about that!

Pairings: Shounen-ai, boy x boy if you want it more clearly. If you for some reason don't like this kind of love then don't read on, if you still do and don't like it, don't go screaming at my door.

Disclaimer: Kishimoto Masashi is the rightful owner of Naruto, I'm only playing with the characters here.

Please Read, Enjoy and Review. All reviews of encouragement, joy, happiness and constructive criticism are welcome.

Chapter 4

Iruka came home after his work and found that there were another pair of shoes in the hall. By now he knew who those shoes belonged to. Uchiha Sasuke had come to their house for the past 2 weeks now and it was a real surprise to him. It had been his dream that Naruto would get a friend, the thing was that he hadn't thought it would had been the youngest son of a rich and famous family. The Uchiha house was a rather old and noble house hold, one that you would normally dream to be friend with.

When the young teacher walked further in the house he could here the tones from Naruto's violin. 'Again, huh!'

Iruka was happy that Naruto was getting to know someone. What worried him was that Naruto was hiding the fact that he was practically blind. It wasn't his place to tell Sasuke about it but something as big as this... he could only hope Naruto wouldn't get hurt when Sasuke would know.

Footsteps could be heard coming down the stairs while Iruka was making dinner. Through the doorway could he see Sasuke making his way toward the front door, Naruto a few steps behind him.

"You're not staying for dinner?" Iruka asked him.

Sasuke and Naruto stopped. When Iruka looked at Naruto he realized that Naruto couldn't see him or Sasuke. It was the trick he normally pulled even in front of Iruka, no one could really tell if he was really looking or had his eyes closed. Either way he acted like he could see.

"No, I'm sorry." Sasuke said.

"It's ok. You're welcome to come back anytime you want." Iruka said while frying something in the pan.

"Thank you."

Shortly after that Sasuke had left them and Naruto was walking by the kitchen when Iruka said, "You better tell him one day soon."

There was no reply from Naruto as he continued to walk up the stairs and to his room.

-o-o-o-o-

Sasuke sat in the window on the first floor that belonged to the living room. He was almost bored out of his mind because he didn't know what to do. The other person in the house, except for the maids, was Itachi. But that was an option that wasn't favoured. Lately Itachi had brought home so many different people that he was sick of being near his older brother.

When Itachi walked by the living room for the 12th time that day he finally walked over to the sofa and made himself comfortable in it.

"Love problems?" Itachi asked.

"I'm not like you." Sasuke said with an edge in his voice.

"That's true. One of us isn't as cold as ice even on a day as warm as this. Did you make a girl pregnant?"

"I said I'm not like you!" Sasuke said with a voice that promised death if he continued, he turned his head to glare at his older brother.

"Finally looked at me, that is progress." Itachi said the last part more to himself that Sasuke. "You can talk to me if something troubling you, even if we aren't on good terms all the time I'm still your older brother."

Sasuke felt like snorting at that. "Like that would ever happen."

Itachi observed his little brother for a moment before sitting up properly and rested his arms against his knees. "Sasuke, you've been sitting in that window for four hours straight and just looking out. You don't do that unless something is bothering you."

"Nothing's bothering me." Sasuke stated. 'At least, I don't think so!'

Sasuke turned his head and stared outside again.

After minutes of silence Itachi hanged his head and sighed. He reached for the phone on the table, "Sasuke," he called, getting the youths attention and threw the phone at him. It landed in Sasuke's lap and he picked it up. "I don't care what you do or with whom, just call someone and get out of this house before I kick you out. I can't stand having you around for much longer, you're too depressing."

Sasuke looked at the phone in his hands for long moments. The first person that came to his mind was strangely Naruto. The thought of calling and asking if he could drop by had occurred to him many times lately but he didn't know Naruto's number so he couldn't call him. That was one problem; the second problem was that he didn't know very much about Naruto at all. Maybe that was what was troubling him. Normally when he was with people they were either trying to tell him about themselves or tried to find out thing about him, during these four weeks he had known Naruto the other boy had done neither. They had talked about many things but nothing about themselves.

Suddenly did he feel that he wanted Naruto to know more about him and who he was? He wanted to know more about Naruto. It was strange, for the first time in his life he wanted to know if it mattered to the other boy that he was an Uchiha. There were so many things he wanted to know if they mattered or not. Things and reasons he hadn't cared about before because no one had ever come so close to him that he cared what they thought. Why was he...

"I knew it, you are in love with someone!" Itachi exclaimed.

A nerve snapped inside Sasuke. "Die!" he shouted as he threw the phone at Itachi who ducked it.

Without waiting for one more second Sasuke jumped out from the window and landed on the lawn. He rushed over it and out through the gate that lead to their house. Itachi watched after him as Sasuke ran down the side walk and then out of sight.

"Foolish little brother," he said while shaking his head. "Sometime, sometime..."

-o-o-o-o-

At the same moment, Naruto was sitting in his room and reading one of the blind books Iruka had brought home with him. He had never been one to like books even if they were a door to other worlds. But because of Sasuke he had heard about a new book that was very popular and despite himself the book had interested him.

It was about a complicated relationship between a teenager boy, a girl in the class next to his and her five years older brother. It started out simple; she liked the boy and brought him home as a friend. But not before very long the girl misunderstands something between him and her brother. It ends badly and the boy ends up in the hospital with a head injury. Through a series of events, discoveries and realizations the girl is going to confess to the boy but outside the door she overhears her brother talking to him and she don't have the heart to walk in just yet. Then, all out of the blue the brother confesses that he's bisexual and that he loves the boy. From there everything becomes a whole mess when relatives arrive and rumours start spreading. Now the confused boy tried to commit suicide to escape everything but was stopped at the last second by the girl's brother...

That's as far as he had gotten and still had more than half the book left. Naruto could understand why this book was a best seller.

Suddenly Naruto's head began to sway and he suddenly found that his mind didn't understand the words under his fingers anymore. He felt tired again, it was strange too, for there were no reason why he should be after only been awake for less than five hours.

However, since Naruto felt that he didn't have the strength to give this anymore thoughts he left the book open and walked over to his bed that he carefully crawled onto it and on top of the covers he fell asleep.

-o-o-o-o-

It was the first time Sasuke acted like this, on an impulse that is. But he really wanted Naruto to know more about him. When he arrived at Naruto's house he felt slightly nervous but his stubbornness was too strong to let something like that make him chicken out.

He knocked on the door and waited. When no one came and opened he tried the door and was surprised to find it opened. A little worried that something might have happened he walked inside.

Nothing was out of order from what he could tell but the house was to quiet for his comfort at the moment. He walked to the living room, on his way he looked inside the kitchen but no one there either.

"Is anyone here?" he called softly, hiding the slightly edge of fear in his guts from entering his voice.

When he got no answer he looked slowly around to make sure of something even he didn't know what it was. The next step was the stair and the bedrooms upstairs. Hopefully would Naruto be there and prove that nothing was wrong.

With slow and gentle steps he climbed the wooden stair and minimized all the creaking and protests from the steps.

When he finally opened the door to Naruto's room the first thing he saw was the sleeping form of the other boy. A wave of relief washed through him. For some reason he himself didn't know, he entered the room and closed the door behind him. Inside he saw that the violin stood at its usual place, leaning against the wall. On the desk laid a book open but strangely when he looked down in it there wasn't any letters in it but dots through the papers. He knew it was a blind book but he couldn't understand why Naruto would have books like those. Maybe he was just learning how to read like this just as a hobby or for future use. That had to be it. Then why wouldn't the feeling in his guts leave?

He didn't want to wake up Naruto so he opted for sitting down and wait until the blond woke up on his own. Then he could ask. Ask all he wanted to know.

To be continued!

Author Note: Yes, I made the promise come true and here is the next chapter in this story. Now I don't have enough time left to post anything else today. I have to go get my homework done. It's a hard life being a student but that's how it goes. Leave at least one review for me for this chapter, please.
