…I'M SORRY!! I honestly meant to update it sooner… I actually have a lot of homework that I'm avoiding. So by avoiding my online school… I also avoided doing chapters. So all this time what have I been doing? Eating and playing video games… SORRY!!
Weird, Naruto thought as he acknowledged his heart beating faster. A dark head of hair rested on his shoulder and Naruto could see the chest next to him was breathing steadily in sleep. He fidgeted a bit. Sasuke had sat next to him after training and had been keeping up a conversation as well as his stoic personality allowed. Then he had just nodded off.
Real polite, teme. Fall asleep when I'm talking, why don't ya? Sighing, Naruto put his head back on the strong tree behind him and looked up at the sky. No birds and no clouds. Blue skies were pretty but so boring after a few days. It was just blue. People liked Naruto's eyes; they were odd and deep.
Naruto fidgeted again and twisted a bit, being careful not to disturb his rival from his sleep. Bowing his head slightly, he looked at Sasuke's sleeping face. The pale features were calm; just relaxed with a certain shine that made Naruto think he was having a good dream.
Naruto's heart sped up and alarmed, he yanked his vision back to the sky. We've only been 'dating' for two weeks. He glares at me and acts just like before. I take the hint that he doesn't want anyone to know, which I'm happy for, and act like my usual. I don't know what I would've done if he wanted the relationship out in the open. …I feel horrible leading him along like I have romantic feelings for him; I hated myself for making him cry.
The tanned face twisted into a frown remembering the way the normally bored face had deformed into a sad look. The onyx eyes had looked so much deeper as the tears fell from them, like the tears had been the key to unlocking some emotion from the Uchiha. Sasuke had never looked more childlike to his friend, as when he was hurriedly wiping back tears and trying to look strong.
Naruto clutched the bunch of white fabric covering his chest. It really did hurt seeing him like that. He had to make sure he didn't hurt his best friend like that again.
The team was in Ichiraku again. Naruto had gotten into a fight with Sakura and Kakashi, and then even with Sasuke, who had for once not started it by calling him a name. He and Sakura got in a fight over his behavior and how he needs to grow up, though Sakura meant everything with love. She really cherished Naruto being Naruto.
Kakashi had been to blame for his fight with Naruto. The team had to go on a mission with stand-in Gai-sensei yesterday. This had been the latest the sensei had ever been: a whole day!
Naruto had been yelling colorful words while looking for him. Team 7 had found him hassling Iruka-sensei in the Academy. The latter had a curious blush on his face at whatever Kakashi was saying. Throwing manners to the wind, Naruto opened the partially opened window enough to come inside and started yelling at Kakashi.
Iruka tried to calm his old student down, before joining in rebuking Kakashi when he gathered he had been a day late for their mission, though his cheeks still had a pink tinge.
The copy ninja cleared his throat and everyone quieted at what we knew was going to happen. "I'm going to tell you the absolute, 100% truth." His students looked at him unbelieving. Iruka's cheeks went from a pink, to pale with realization, and then to a fiery rouge which went unnoticed by everyone but Sasuke.
"Yesterday, Iruka and I were-" a dark hand cut off his words. Kakashi's visible eye turned to the other man and turned into a happy 'U'.
Still bright red, Iruka searched for an excuse for what he had just done. "Uh, we, uh…? Yesterday, we were-" Kakashi mumbled something and received a glare. "We were cleaning. His house is filled with novels and he needed help sorting it all."
Sasuke snorted, rather loudly too. Sakura rolled her eyes. Naruto looked completely convinced. "Kakashi-sensei! Clean on your own time and don't bother Iruka-sensei with your mess," Naruto scolded.
Kakashi peeled the hand off his face. "Maa, he liked helping me clean!" Iruka blushed and shooed the three out. Which is how we find Team 7 at Ichiraku, Naruto bristling. Silently, Sasuke ate his food, mostly done and ready to get away from the craziness giving him a headache slowly.
Then a silence filled the air and the raven felt a hard look on the side of his head. Wary, he turned in the direction of the glare aimed at him. "What," he asked coldly.
Naruto's glare strengthened. "Why'd you snort?" The Uchiha raised an eyebrow. "You snorted after Iruka-sensei explained why Kakashi-sensei was late yesterday. Do you have something against him?"
Sasuke lowered the eyebrow. He's really dim, huh?
"I snorted because Iruka was obviously lying." Naruto's eyebrows furrowed as the comment sunk in before leaning in close to my face. His eyes flickered with anger. Sasuke could see this argument taking a long time. So he cut to the chase.
"Kakashi and Iruka were together yesterday. Either on a date, or judging by the blush on your beloved Iruka's face, they had sex."
Naruto's face crinkled in disgust and irritation, which made Sasuke smirk. "Lies! Iruka-sensei is straight and definitely not interested in someone like Kakashi!!" Uchiha sighed, standing off the stool and placed money on the counter. He nodded his goodbye to the others and headed towards his place.
"Hey, teme! Where are you going?!" Naruto ate the rest of his ramen, slapped down some money, and took off after the retreating dark-haired boy. Their footsteps synched and silence stood between them. It was comfortable though.
Naruto studied the older boy, forgetting his anger. He watched the way the black eyes would glance at the sky for a few seconds or at him. He was in a sort of trance that he hadn't realized they stopped walking until he almost ran into Sasuke. The Uchiha's manor stood behind the owner.
Sasuke stared into his teammate's eyes. Naruto stared back, his breath ceasing for a while as his heart pounded in anticipation. Of what?, thought the fox-boy. His answer came from Sasuke who took a step closer and kissed the other's lips gently. Naruto's eyes shot wide open and sirens went off in his head.
The one who initiated the kiss was getting worried since no movement was coming from the other and it brought back memories of the strange look that had been in Naruto's eyes after he had confessed to him. But that was pushed aside when Naruto cupped his hand under Sasuke's chin and pressed more into the kiss.
They kept it chaste until they needed air and pulled apart. Sasuke mumbled 'bye' and headed to the doorway. Naruto did one of his signature fox grins.
I think I might, the blue eyes watched as the mess of black hair disappeared around the door and he smirked, I might like him. Or at least be attracted to him. It was confusing but Naruto would have to deal with it.
-bangs head against glass tabletop- Ugh! I'm not proud of it! Or any of my stories… But if you guys were at least OK with it, I'll smile… By the way, the story IS NOT DONE!!!!
