The rest of the night was very awkward. Naruto seemed determined not to look at Sasuke and as Kakashi passed out the food to each of them. Their teacher had made a large fire while they were gone and they were currently sat around it, trying to keep warm. The jounin cleared his throat loudly and attempted to break the silence. "So, did you guys have a good talk?" Naruto blushed crimson; did Kakashi know?
"Talk about what?" Sasuke asked.
"About you two not fighting. Have you sorted it out?" Naruto let out all the breath he was holding and speared a marshmallow on a stick. Sasuke turned his gaze from Kakashi to Naruto and watched as the blonde held the marshmallow to the fire. Naruto felt Sasuke's gaze and soon it began to annoy him.
Unaware of the fact that his marshmallow had fallen off his stick, Naruto continued to try and keep his thoughts off the raven. Kakashi made several attempts to start a conversation, but failed. "Right, I'm going to bed. See you in the morning." Ignoring the pleading look from Naruto, he disappeared in smoke. Naruto squeaked as he noticed how close Sasuke was now sitting next to him and tried to edge away slowly. "Here." Naruto caught the packet of marshmallows Sasuke had thrown to him and, noticing the other had fallen off, speared another two on. Minutes later, Naruto put one in his mouth and carried on toasting the other.
Sasuke watched as the sticky white substance covered Naruto's lips and forced back a groan as he saw Naruto lick his lips clean. It was almost like a taunt the way Naruto was eating the marshmallow. As the blonde put the other marshmallow in his mouth, Sasuke decided he could take it anymore. "If were going to stop fighting, we should learn to share." Naruto threw the packet of sweets at Sasuke, but the raven simply leaned closer to Naruto. "No thanks, I want this one." Sasuke kissed Naruto and pushed his tongue into the blonde's mouth, taking some of the marshmallow for himself. Naruto pushed the other boy away roughly and spat out the half of the marshmallow that remained in his mouth. "That's disgusting! You just don't give up, do you?" Naruto snarled. Sasuke jumped up.
"I love you Naruto, so no. I'm not going to give up."
"You better! What will people think if they see you doing that stuff to me!"
"I don't care what people think if they see me kissing you." Sasuke said plainly.
"Well I do! Get this Sasuke, I. Don't. Like. You. In. that. Way. You're my friend, nothing more!" Naruto hissed.
"I'm still not giving up Naruto, you mean more to me than that." Naruto pulled a disgusted face. "Please Sasuke, I don't want you to ruin our friendship! Just…stop whatever your doing. I like Sakura, you know that. Can we just forget what's happened?" Sasuke thought for a moment.
"Fine."
When Sasuke entered the tent, Naruto was already asleep. Sasuke sighed and cast a longing look at the blonde. He couldn't forget the moans Naruto had made while they kissed. 'This is so confusing. Naruto wants me, I know he does! When I kiss him he kisses me back and then pushes me away and denies that he enjoyed it…' Sasuke straddled Naruto and began to whisper in his ear. "Wake up, dobe…" Naruto's eyes snapped open and he tried to yell, but he was silenced by Sasuke's lips pressing against his own. Sasuke unzipped Naruto's sleeping bag and ran his hands over Naruto's tanned skin. Just like the other times and as Sasuke predicted, Naruto only resisted for a moment before completely giving in to Sasuke. The raven continued to kiss the other boy until he felt the blonde tense and then push him away. Sasuke fought against him and grabbed onto Naruto's arms, before slipping his tongue in Naruto's mouth. Naruto moved his face away from Sasuke and tried to wriggle out of his grasp. "Sasuke…no…" Sasuke pulled away slightly and smirked.
"You know you want this…don't resist me, Naruto." he whispered. Naruto shook his head. "Stop touching me! Get off!" he shouted. Sasuke placed his hand over Naruto's groin. "This part of you doesn't agree with that." Naruto bit his lip and forced back a moan. "Sasuke stop!" he shouted. Sasuke ignored Naruto's shouts and began kissing him again. Naruto bit down on Sasuke's tongue just enough to make Sasuke pull back. "That hurt!" Sasuke complained. Now he could freely move, Naruto punched Sasuke in the face. "Just stop this! For one minute think about how this is for me!" Naruto screamed.
"I can't help the fact that I love you." Sasuke replied.
"I don't care! You can't keep kissing me whenever you feel like it, because I don't feel the same way!"
"Don't lie dobe, if you felt nothing for me you wouldn't have kissed me back the other times. You know we have something special! Its also why you fought so hard to get me back from Orochimaru." Sasuke said. Naruto blushed slightly.
"Please Sasuke, promise you'll stop. Promise me." Naruto said.
"Only if you say you don't love me. If you say that, then I'll stop it and pretend none of this ever happened." Sasuke said quietly.
"I…I don't love you." Tears spilled from Sasuke's dark eyes as he heard Naruto reject his feelings. The fact that the only person he ever loved and could ever see himself being with didn't love him back. Sasuke climbed into his own bed and slept with his back to Naruto. The blonde was shocked; he had never seen Sasuke cry before. Naruto stared at Sasuke's back and wondered if he was asleep yet.
'He really does like me that much? I can't believe, Sasuke of all people would care about me…in that way. Could he really…love me? Wait, I shouldn't be thinking that. It doesn't matter. I like Sakura…at least I should. She's smart and pretty…but I keep thinking about how nice it was when Sasuke kissed me…'
'The Uchiha's right, you shouldn't deny your feelings anymore.' Naruto frowned as he let his head flop onto the pillow. 'I didn't ask for your input Kyuubi.'
"Are you going to tell that bastard you love him or not?'
'I don't!' a laugh echoed in Naruto's head.
'Nice try, but I can see your dreams and thoughts.' Naruto blushed.
'A-all of my dreams?' the laugh echoed again which Naruto could only take as a 'yes'.
I admit it, I have always felt something more for Sasuke than I usually should…but him actually liking me back has never…been something I'd thought about before…'
'Ha! I got a good one here, this was last month when he took his shirt off for training.' The memory of Sasuke flooded into Naruto's mind followed by all the perverted things he had thought he would like to do with Sasuke in that situation. "No! Get that out of my head!" he hissed. Naruto then realised he had spoke out loud and hoped Sasuke had fallen asleep so he didn't thing he was talking to himself. 'That's just wrong…you shouldn't be able to see that kind of stuff.'
'Yeah, well tough luck kid because I can. Hey, do you remember last Tuesday? When you fell in the water and Sasuke tried to help you up but then he got wet as well?'
'No! Just go back to sleep you perverted fox!'
Kyuubi curled up in its cage grinning manically at all the thoughts he could tease Naruto with in the future. The blonde rolled over and found that Sasuke had fallen asleep and he was now facing him. Naruto inched over to Sasuke and gently stroked his soft dark hair. "I think I love you Sasuke, but if you ever found out what I really am…you would hate me too." He whispered.
