LUST
"Here you go, dobe," Sasuke said, dumping the Styrofoam cups of ramen on the bedside table and causing lukewarm broth to spill on the wooden surface.
Naruto looked up at Sasuke, grinning. "You know I love you the most when you buy me ramen!"
He scooped up one of the cups, popped off the lid, and immediately began slurping up the broth. Sasuke winced slightly as the soup dribbled down on the bed sheets. He really did hate slobs, but since he had to practically live with the messiest guy in the whole village, he managed to deal with it reasonably well.
Naruto pulled the ramen away from his mouth and let out a gigantic breath of contentedness. "So what took you so long? I woke up and couldn't find you! You usually come back when I'm still in bed."
Sasuke tore his eyes away from his dirtying bed sheets. "Oh…I just met someone at the ramen bar."
Naruto set the ramen down on the bedside table and looked at Sasuke. "Who?"
Sasuke shrugged. "Eh, some chick. I don't think you know her." He raised his brows. "Pretty cute, though." When he saw the look on Naruto's face, he quickly added "No, Naruto. I don't really like girls, you know that."
Naruto nodded his head half-heartedly and his shoulders drooped. "I know…but…so many girls really like you, and I sometimes worry that you might forget about me and go for them instead."
There was a short silence after his words. Sasuke sighed deeply and sat down on the edge of the bed, careful to avoid the spilled broth. "Naruto, the girls here who have puppy dog crushes on me are idiots who I would never think of going for. They don't give a shit about my personality or anything, they only care about my looks. And besides," he touched Naruto's cheek lightly, "do you really think I'd break up with you for some clumsy, ditzy chick I just met?"
This seemed to cheer Naruto up immensely and he returned to slurping down some more ramen. Sasuke looked on happily, his mind wandering off to that mornings' meeting at the ramen bar. He had never heard of any religious people living in Konoha before, so what were they doing here now? It was just odd to have people like that in a ninja village, so they had to be here for a pretty good reason…
"Hey Naruto," Sasuke said, breaking the silence. "Have you ever seen any….Christians here before?"
Naruto's eyebrows furrowed and he pulled the Styrofoam cup away from his face. "No, why?"
Sasuke bit his lower lip. "Well, that girl at the ramen bar-"
"You seem to be thinking about that girl an awful lot." Naruto frowned.
"Would you get over it?" Sasuke snapped. "It's just pretty damn odd to see religious chicks here when there never were here before!"
Naruto shrugged. "I'm not bothered by it, so why should you be?"
Sasuke let out a groan of frustration and rolled his eyes. "God, never mind." He turned away from Naruto. "I need a shower, excuse me."
He stormed out of the bed room and into the bathroom, slamming the door behind him and locking it. The two boys usually showered together, but Sasuke really needed some time to think. He threw his clothes on the tiled floor, yanked the shower faucet on, and ripped the curtains closed. He took several deeps breaths, trying to calm down. Naruto usually got him a tad pissed off, but it was still rather annoying when he did so, especially with a situation like this.
'If a Christian sect is in town, then they really won't like to see two gay guys together,' Sasuke thought, running his hand through his now wet hair. 'And Naruto doesn't see how serious this is…' And once again, Sasuke couldn't help but thinking "But damn! For a church girl, that chick was fine!'
Sasuke had often wondered what his life would've been like if he had chosen to be straight. What would it have been like if he had dated, say, Sakura or Ino? All the other guys in the village bragged about how awesome it was to have sex with these girls…would Sasuke have enjoyed it, too?
He closed his eyes, just imagining himself in bed with a girl…not, not Sakura or Ino, but a girl with shoulder-length blonde hair and the unmistakable shine of a gold necklace hanging around her pale neck…he groaned quietly while the warm water hit his body and that familiar flame started up in the pit of his stomach…
Sasuke's eyes snapped open and he shook his head. "God no! I love Naruto!"
He hopped out of the shower, grabbed a towel, and ran out of the bathroom.
"Naruto!" Sasuke shouted.
No answer. Sasuke called for him again, but he got the same result.
"Not here…" Sasuke muttered.
And for once, he admit that he was happy that he was alone.
A/N: NO! SASUKE IS NOT GONNA BE PAIRED UP WITH AN OC! IT'S SASUNARU TILL THE END!
