A/N: Thanks to the (at this time) two people that posted reviews for the first chapter... I'm complying to their requests and adding a second chapter. I welcome more people to review..it would be very nice.

I do NOT own any of the Naruto characters...that would be Kisimoto (lucky man). But, luckily for me, I own the story...just not the people. YAY!

Chapter 2

'Dammit, Sasuke...get Naruto out of your head.' I laid back on the couch throwing and catching an overused stress ball. I'd lost concentration several times causing my nose to get hit by the, luckily for me, soft object. Since my encounter with Lee I'd gone to my dorm, which was empty and without my roommate, Shikamaru. He was okay to be around I guess, he left me alone and in return I did the same for him. We did talk sometimes though but never about anything important. Most of our short lived conversations were about what projects we had to do and what we were doing for them, nothing non-school related. I stood up to grab a Coke, but was interrupted by a loud rapping on the door.

'Who the hell...' I walked to the door and swung it open

"Hey, Sasuke," a somewhat unwelcome voice said exuberantly. "I haven't seen you since we went to lunch and you seemed a little upset. I just wanted to tal-" I closed the door, interrupting what he was saying. I didn't lock it, but it was enough to make me feel somewhat in control of my life again. Against my desire, he opened the door and glared at me. "You didn't lock the door, stupid."

"I didn't want to lock it, dobe." The blonde glared at me.

"I told you not to call me that."

I sat down at the table and motioned for him to sit across from me. He froze for a moment but he eventually caught my drift. He sat down and folded his arms on top of the table. I felt a shiver run through me as his legs brushed against mine, I sat up straight and let my bangs fall in front of my face to hide my blush. Naruto looked at me suspiciously for a moment but seemed to drop whatever question he was going to ask.

"What did you come here for, Naruto?" I didn't look up as I asked him this, nervous that a blush may still have been spread across my face.

"I came to see what's going on with you." I looked up at my friend and saw the concern in his beautiful blue eyes. 'What the hell is wrong with me? I shouldn't feel this way about Naruto.'

"I'm fine." The waver in my voice was evidence of my lie.

"Are you, Sasuke? Are you really?"

"YES." Naruto shook his head in disbelief and put his head in his hands.

"I'm sure you'll tell me when you're ready. But until then, can we find something to do? I'm bored to death all alone in my room."

" Maybe," I said as I considered the idea. "Have any suggestions?"

"We could go to the mall," he said, his expression lighting up.

"Uhhh-"

"Oh yeah, I forgot...Ice Prince Uchiha doesn't like going out in public." I stood up, feeling somewhat demoted.

"Is that a challenge, Uzumaki?"

"Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. What do you think?"

"I think...you're on." Naruto grinned widely, his blue eyes lighting up with joy. He stood up and after I grabbed my keys we walked out the door.

A/N: Well... there ya go. My second chapter. Now you can submit your review...it would be great for me because I want to know what you think. PRESS THE BUTTON!
