"…"

"…."

"NARUTO!"

"SASUKE?!"

The two boys acted as one, Sasuke pulling on his t shirt so fast it almost ripped the seam, and Naruto diving down behind the bed in an effort to hide himself from Satan 2. Satan in question was blushing furiously, anger gathering inside him, ready to be directed solely at the pig on 2 legs, cowering behind the very spindly, unstable, breakable, bed in front of him.

"DO YOU HAVE SOME KIND OF PERVY WISH TO EMBARRASS ME AT EVERY BLOODY OPPORTUNITY?!" was the roar that erupted from Sasuke's mouth. Naruto flinched, pulling the blankets from the bed around him for security, not just cover. He got to his feet, getting over the shock of finding the Uchiha in the room.

"Speak for yourself! Could you not hear the shower running?!" Naruto exclaimed, crossing his arms across his chest. Sasuke looked at him blankly and pointed to his ears. "Oh, an I Pod. I see." Naruto muttered, eyeing the piece of technology with disdain. Sasuke gave Naruto a glare, before turning away and settling down on the bed, staring moodily at the ceiling as if it was responsible for his anger. "Erm… Sasuke, what're you doing?" Naruto asked, seeing that the Uchiha had no inclination to leave.

"It's a shared room, remember?" Sasuke replied sarcastically. Naruto frowned but said nothing, taking advantage of Sasuke's bad mood and obvious preoccupation, to rub himself dry and slip on his pyjama's. And then he noticed- his hair was still wet. Frowning he rummaged through his suitcase, trying desperately to find the hairdryer, which he was so sure he packed…

(10 minutes later, after every item of clothing is removed from the suitcase most of it landing on Sasuke, Naruto has come to an undeniable conclusion)

"Well what do you know, I really did forget to pack it after all." Naruto muttered, scratching his head.

"Hm, what was your first clue(?)" was the sarcastic reply from the raven haired teen on the bed, as he flicked away a pair of underpants that had come a little too close for comfort. Naruto rubbed his chin thoughtfully and cast a sideways glance at Sasuke. Putting on his best puppy dog eyes with a supposedly "cute" pout, he made his way over to the stoic teen who gave him a cold glare.

"Quit the face, it looks like you're constipated. Now what do you want?" Sasuke snapped drawing away from the blond haired boy. Naruto gave a sheepish grin and looked away

"Well, seeing as I have… temporarily misplaced my hairdryer… I was kinda hoping you could…?" Naruto trailed off into silence, seeing a smirk spread across Sasuke's face. It didn't bode well.

"You want me to use my fireball jutsu?" he asked innocently, the devilish gleam in his eyes betraying his true intentions. Naruto gulped but nodded. Sasuke smirked, making the hand signs "Very well. I shall."

All Naruto was aware of was a blinding heat, like a thousand red hot pokers being burnt into his skin, and then everything went black.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

When he came to, he found he was on the bed beside Sasuke, with a cold flannel pressed to his forehead. As his vision came back, so did his voice.

"WTF DID YOU DO THAT FOR SASUKE?!" Sasuke raised an eyebrow and smirked.

"Oh did I forget to tell you? It doesn't come with a heat setting. And it's not meant to be a hairdryer. Maybe burn the hair off…"

"WHAT?!" Naruto yelled, running his fingers through his precious hair, making sure it was still there. The edges were singed, but apart from that it was O.K. He opened his mouth to continue the argument, but instead he found Sasuke on his side, covers over his head- apparently sleeping soundly. "What the…?" Naruto whispered, poking Sasuke, making sure it wasn't a trick. Apparently not, as the raven haired teen hissed through his teeth

"Sod off Naruto, and go to sleep!" Naruto looked taken aback for a moment but then closed his mouth, giving the lump that was Sasuke a dirty look, before flopping down moodily onto the bed. But he couldn't sleep. No matter how many times he closed his eyes, and tried to think of nothing he couldn't drift off. And it may have something to do with the fact that Satan 2 was hogging the covers.

"Oi Sasuke! I'm freezing give me some covers!" Naruto hissed, trying to prize the blanket from Sasuke's grip. In return he got a sharp kick to his knee

"Naruto for the last time- Go to sleep!"

"Give me the covers!" was the retort.

"Not until you quit fidgeting!"

That did it.

Naruto pounced onto Sasuke, attempting wrestle the cover away from him, but Sasuke just gave him a sharp smack to the head.

"Now quit it." was the icy command. Naruto sat up, glaring at the raven haired teen, hatred burning in him, and in his hastiness he said (yelled) the first thing that came into his head:

"WHY DO YOU HATE ME?!"

The silence was deafening and the air rang with the sudden outburst. Sasuke's onyx eyes widened at the accusation, but more so at the sincerity on Naruto's face. Sapphire eyes downcast, lips turned down, shoulders hunched. It wasn't a spur of the moment desperation cry, he'd meant every word. Sasuke looked uncomfortable for a moment, and bit his lip.

"I… I don't hate you." he replied quietly, avoiding Naruto's piercing blue eyes that had shot up to meet his own.

"What?"

"Don't make me say it again!" Sasuke snapped, cheeks blazing red from embarrassment. And that was a VERY rare sight. Naruto looked at him curiously

"Then… Why do you act so bloody uptight?" the blond boy asked quietly, avoiding Sasuke's gaze.

"I… I don't know." Then there was silence for a few moments, Sasuke was fiddling with a hole in the bedcovers, staring blankly ahead so he didn't notice when Naruto came up behind him. But he sure did when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Huh? Naruto, what the hell?" Sasuke asked, meaning to move away but something about the way Naruto was looking at him stopped him. The blue eyes were fixed on him, a mixture of concern and care burning in them. Sasuke only just realised how cute those eyes actually were when they weren't narrowed in anger at him. Naruto's fingertips caressed his neck and then down to his shoulder and back, tracing Sasuke's collar bone and not once did the Uchiha try to stop him. Something about the gentle touch relaxed the older boy, because it held something Sasuke had been missing for a long time since the murder of his clan. Something he had forgotten about…

"Is something wrong Sasuke?" Naruto asked quietly. The other boy had been acting very out of character lately, inattentive, more snappy than usual, and had been avoiding Naruto for the past week.

"I-It's n-nothing." Sasuke replied, cursing the stammer betraying his true emotions.

"Liar. I know you Sasuke, and you've been acting real weird. What's wrong?" Naruto pressed. Sasuke sighed and lowered his eyes, refusing to say a word. The blond boy blushed slightly "Is it about what happened… You know…"

"The kiss?" Sasuke asked coldly and Naruto nodded.

"Yeah listen… If you've got a problem with me because of that… Then I guess I should say it really was an accident. The guy behind shoved me and I lost my balance, I didn't plan it or anything I swear. Sasuke?" Sasuke didn't even look like he was listening, he was just staring straight ahead, knuckles white on clenched fists. Naruto took the hint and removed his hand. "Hey… I'm sorry." Onyx eyes widened and Sasuke turned round to face the other boy

"What did you say?"

"I said I was sorry." Naruto repeated frowning. Sasuke blinked a couple of times and then shrugged, still unable to speak because his throat had gone dry from amazement and nervousness. Naruto apologised. Sasuke had to resist the temptation to pinch himself to check he wasn't dreaming. Naruto took the stunned expression as coldness and sighed giving Sasuke a sad look, before turning over. "I just wish you could relax a bit more…" he muttered, flopping down onto the pillow. Sasuke's eyes were distant, feeling a sense of loss now Naruto's hand was no longer caressing him. Even though it had made him feel uncomfortable, it was… A nice feeling deep down. For the second time in his life Sasuke was properly afraid. What was going on? He shouldn't be feeling like this, he had more important things to think about than crushes (like Itachi…). Let alone a crush for his rival.

A boy.

He didn't know why he felt so surprised, Sasuke had never really thought about his sexuality, although he had never dreamed he would be attracted to boys. He cast a sideways look at Naruto who was lying on his back, staring at the ceiling just like Sasuke had been an hour before. But unlike Sasuke's gaze of anger, Naruto was thinking, hard. What was wrong with the other boy? Why was he so mad all the time anyway? And what had Naruto done to deserve it? He wasn't sure… But something was different about him. The way he acted… The moody attitude… All of it directed at the blond. Why? Unless… Maybe… the whole "mad" act was a disguise. Naruto should know. What did he do when he didn't want the world to see him cry? He got mad. Threw his frustration out at the people around him, just to get a reaction. Mad can be the best way of disguising how sad you are. Was Sasuke upset? Because of him? But he'd already explained the whole "I fell onto you and snogged you accidentally" thing wasn't his fault… So maybe it was frustration instead. Maybe it was frustration that was making Sasuke angry. Frustration about what??? He felt the bedcovers move as Sasuke lay down beside him, and he could feel dark onyx eyes boring into him like a laser. Naruto turned to face him questioningly, and he was shocked to find how close they were, noses barely an inch from each other. Sasuke's raven locks were splayed over the pillow and he looked so much less severe without the forehead protector on. (1) Almost… Kind. Beautiful even. Moonlight played across the pale skin tracing patters onto the older boys face, and Naruto felt his breath catch in his throat. And all this time Sasuke hadn't said a word. He had been lost in the aqua eyes that pulled him deep down, trapping him in a spiders web of fantasy's. Why spiders web? Because once you went in, you never came out. And in those few lost moments, time stopped. Naruto felt a light touch on his arm, and then realised it was Sasuke's hands stroking his skin.

"What are you doing?" he whispered, hardly daring to breathe. Sasuke smirked.

"Returning a favour." he replied softly, seeing the blush and look confusion on Naruto's face, he smiled to himself. Naruto gulped as beads of sweat formed on his forehead, his heart hammering. What was Sasuke doing? It was so strange to be this close to him, but at the same time it felt… right.

//I'm not too good at reading people's emotions… But I'm not blind Sasuke.//

Sasuke… Was coming onto him! Naruto's baby blue eyes widened in the darkness. And Sasuke spotted it.

"Problem?" he asked quietly, onyx eyes scanning the others face, who had looked down, obviously, uncomfortably embarrassed. Naruto cleared his throat and met the others eyes for barely a moment, suddenly becoming strangely shy.

"Erm, Sasuke can I ask you something?" he whispered, the other merely nodded in reply, black eyes gazing deeply into the others. Naruto scratched his head and continued quietly "Erm Sasuke… Do you have feelings… For someone?" Sasuke's eyes narrowed.

"Someone? Give me an example Naruto." the other boy challenged, his soft voice edged with something else. Naruto bit his lip, he couldn't come straight out with his suspicions, he had to stall for time.

"Erm… Sakura chan?" Naruto suggested, feeling the normal spike of jealousy that came from thinking of the 2 together. Yet somehow it was different… Sasuke snorted in the darkness

"Her? Do you seriously think I'd fall for her? The clingy geek with a wide forehead?" Sasuke asked incredulously and Naruto couldn't help but smile slightly. Sasuke closed his eyes and sighed "No Naruto. The someone I like, is a lot closer to me than Sakura." he finished his last words as a whisper, nudging Naruto, encouraging him to come nearer, one hand coming up to caress the others cheek. Naruto gasped.

"Sasuke…" it came out as a slight moan and Sasuke felt his breathing quicken.

"I don't know what this is Naruto… I thought I hated you…" the Uchiha whispered, allowing his fingers to trace the lines on Naruto's face, eyes, cheekbones and then to the cherry red lips. "But because of you… Now I'm not so sure if there's such a difference between hate, and what I'm feeling…"

"Sasuke… Are you saying-?"

"I don't know. It depends on you." was the silky reply, Sasuke congratulating himself on managing not to stutter. Naruto felt his stomach tighten in a mixture of guilt and nervousness. What about Sakura? Did he have feelings for Sasuke? Feelings that were stronger than his feelings for Sakura? Naruto frowned and looked away, palms sweaty from nerves. Sasuke watched his every move, and didn't like the signs he saw. He sat up pulling his knees to his chest, asking the dreaded question. "So? Do you still like her?" his voice was bitter with resentment. Naruto struggled with his words for a few moments, and then decided against using them.

"Let's find out." Naruto replied, sounding a lot more confident than he felt. But taking a deep breath he took Sasuke's chin in his hand and gently pressed his lips against his rivals. It lasted for barely a second, but it seemed to last for a lifetime. Sasuke was so surprised he didn't think to push the other away, and Naruto savoured the moment. The other boys lips were so soft, and he looked so cute with his tousled hair and startled dark eyes. Naruto knew now, this was what he wanted. Not Sakura or any other stupid girl. He wanted Sasuke, just Sasuke. He pulled away quickly, not wanting to scare the other boy off, in case he had misread the signals. He carefully studied the others expression. Sasuke seemed surprised but not disgusted. And then his expression changed to one of curiosity.

"What?" asked Naruto nervously. Sasuke gave a tiny smile, very un- Sasuke like, with a tiny blush on his cheeks. (2)

"That… Felt good… Do it again." Naruto's mouth dropped open in amazement and relief, and immediately obliged. The second kiss was sweeter and deeper than the last. Not in the physical sense, but in the way it made them feel alive, like their very souls were singing. It was still teasingly short though, neither were experienced kissers. The touches of their lips were soft and uncertain, eyes were curiously open, hands shyly trailing down the others body. Hundreds of voices were going round Sasuke's head, reminding him what was happening was wrong on so many levels. His strict upbringing forbade it, but he drowned them out till they were nothing but annoying buzzes, his mind being completely overwhelmed. Naruto pulled away again, and gave Sasuke a grin

"Well you're taking it better than last time." Sasuke rolled his eyes

"Shut up dumbass. Last time it was against my will and horrifically embarrassing." Naruto deadpanned.

"How many times do I have to tell you- It. Was. An. Accident?!" Naruto ground out, exasperated and Sasuke smirked

"Jeez relax. I already told you, dumbass…" he crushed his lips against Naruto's with almost a desperate desire, his hand finding its way round to the back of Naruto's neck, and the blonds hands being tangled in ebony locks.

"Apology accepted."

A/N: aw my first fluffy SasuNaru. Funny thing, Sasuke came out as a bit Uke when I was writing it. How strange… Btw- this was 6 pages on Word and it took me forever! A whole half term AND a weekend.
