BK2: Hello again! I am back after two weeks and I bring a new chapter!
So yes I'm sorry I broke my promise to you guys, I really should re-consider things before making promises. I've had quite a hectic week, but now my attention is devoted to this chapter.
So on with the story!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto
Two empty boxes of pizza lay messily across the small table in front of the TV.
Naruto had arrived at 6:30 and set his stuff in Sasuke's room, before joining the others for supper.
So now they sat, nearly 12am, Itachi already gone to his room and Sasuke asleep on the couch. The lighting from the TV danced across Naruto's tan faced as with tired eyes, he watched their second movie that night.
His turned his eyes to his slumbering, best friend.
"Oi, Sasuke" he murmured, getting no response he turned his full attention to waking the raven up.
"Sasuke, c'mon, let's just head for your room, it isn't comfy here" he shook Sasuke's arm lightly.
"Mmm, bugger off Naruto…" Sasuke mumbled, shuffling himself further into a couch pillow.
Rolling his eyes, Naruto stood up.
"Fine then asshole, I'll have to carry you" he walked in front of the half-sleeping body and heaved him up, bridal style.
"Naruto….put me the fuck down, right now" Sasuke growled, now fully awake and conscious of being held up girlishly.
"No way bastard"
"Dobe. Now"
"Too bad, if I leave you here, you'll fall asleep on the couch and I know it isn't comfy"
"Why the damn would you care if I wasn't comfy?" Sasuke was curious now, perhaps what happened at school had changed Naruto, and maybe, just maybe, the blond liked him, in a more then friendly way.
Sasuke blushed lightly at his thoughts.
"Naruto…is it that…do you…um, have a--"
"You know why Teme?" Naruto gazed down at him.
Sasuke's blushed deepened further, if possible, under the blonds intensive stare.
This was it.
Sasuke leaned up, pursed his lips for the long awaited kiss and…
"-because tomorrow you'll be an un-godly asshole, who will beat the shit out of me and then shout at the top of your lungs about how selfish I am"
Sasuke blinked and backed away.
Wait? What? Where's the kiss?
Then a light bulb went off in Sasuke's head and he glared darkly at the blond.
"IDIOT!" Sasuke shouted, punching Naruto in the face and climbing out of his arms.
Naruto cried out and clutched his nose.
"You fucker Sasuke!" he swore colourfully, and stomped after the raven...
Just to get the bedroom door slammed into his face.
"Fuck you Sasuke, open the damn door!"
"Screw off Naruto!" came Sasuke's muffled reply.
Wait…muffled?
Naruto frowned, what was Sasuke's reply muffled by? The door was that thick and he was standing right infront of it...
"Sasuke?"
A small sniffle was heard before Sasuke responded.
"What do you want dobe?" the crying was evident in his voice.
"Are you okay, Sasuke?" Naruto was concerned, how had he made Sasuke cry? They fought all the time and teasing was second nature to them.
"Why the hell do you care now stupid? It wasn't like you cared if I slept well or not"
Naruto sighed, "Sasuke you know you're my best friend, of course I care"
He heard a snort, fallowed by another sniffle.
"Sasuke…the truth is, I really don't care about the whole "bitching in the morning" thing, I was just teasing you"
Getting no reply, he just continued.
"You're the most important person in my life Sasuke, honestly, what happened to you today…I was terrified"
Another sniffle.
"Terrified that you seriously were not okay, that…I don't know, but I knew I wasn't going to let the asshole get away with it"
A small chuckle was heard and Naruto smiled.
"Nobody messes with my best friend" he finished and suddenly the door swung open.
"Sasuke--"
In an instant Naruto found himself arms full of the raven, who hugged him tighter.
"Thank you dobe…for everything" Sasuke whispered into his chest.
Naruto hugged him back.
"You're welcome teme"
So finally with arguments settled the two friends went to get some needed sleep.

The bell for the end of the first class sounded down the corridors, and students poured into the halls.
"Sakura!" came a loud shout over the numerous voices, "Sakura, wait up!"
Said bubbled gum-haired, gossip queen, turned to the calling voice.
"Kiba?" she sounded surprised, as the brunet came into sight, running towards her.
He finally reached her side and grinned mischievously.
"You remember you're theory right?" he asked, getting straight to the point.
"Kiba, I have more then one you know…"
"I know that, but I'm talking about the Naruto + Sasuke one"
This caught Sakura's attention and she turned her full attention to the dog-boy.
"What do you know…?" she asked slowly.
"That it's definitely working"
Her eyes widened, "Really?! What did you see, that I haven't seen?!"
He chuckled, "Nothing new, but Naruto was still pissed off after the game yesterday, seemed like he couldn't wait to be by Sasuke's side"
Sakura grinned, "good, now its time for the next step"
Kiba blinked, "what would that be…?".
He was a little concerned for his two friends, sometimes Sakura could get scary with her theories…
"The Matchmaker step!" she announced cheerfully.
"Matchmaker?"
"Yup, I have to piece them together, but I'll need an accomplice…"
She turned to Kiba.
"OH HELL NO!"
"Please?"
"NO!"
"Pretty please?"
"NO WAY!"
"Please? If you do this for me, I'll…get you a date with Hinata!"
"…I'll think about it"
Sakura was pleased with herself and her manipulating skills.
"Good"

"Oh thank god, lunch time!" Ino praised as she plopped down into the cafeteria seat beside her best friend, Sakura.
Said pink-haired girl rolled her eyes and took a monstrous bite out of her sandwich, "'you're terrible" she managed, before gulping down her food with a swing of her Pepsi soda.
"Sakura, please, eat like a girl" another person spoke up as they took a seat across from the other two, "you look utterly repulsive like that"
"Shut it Temari" Sakura snapped, "why the hell are you sitting here anyways? What happened to your 'cool' friends?"
Temari scowled.
"That's none of your business, brat" she growled, chomping down on her chicken salad loudly.
"Well pardon me for being so rude" Sakura stood leaning over the table and into the blond girls face, "but you're not welcome here, remember? You ditched me and Sasuke for your 'better' friends!"
Temari stood at what seemed to be an oncoming challenge, "You know what?" she narrowed her eyes, "…fuck you Haruno, I'm gone" she then grabbed her tray and stormed off.
At this Sakura sighed deeply and dropped back into her seat, finally taking in her surroundings she noticed people watching.
Giving them a hard glare, they all turned away and she turned to her friend.
"Ino let's go somewhere else, I really don't want to eat here anymore" her voiced had lost it's usual curve of mischievousness and now just seemed dead and boring.
Ino took hint of this and lead her upset friend, out of the Cafeteria.

"Sakura…we talked about this!" Sasuke scolded, "you were not supposed to blow up in her face, you have to work it out!"
Sakura buried her hands in her face, "it wasn't my fault though Sasuke! She friggen called me a guy…and a slob!"
Dropping his head back against his locker, Sasuke sighed, the echo from the impact carried down the empty halls and he listened as it slowly tuned out.
They had been sitting on the floor in front of Sasuke's locker for at least 20 minutes since school ended. Naruto and their other friends had basketball practice today and since they all decided to go for ice cream after the practice, the two waited in the halls.
"Whatever, let's just…not talk about her anymore okay?" Sakura pleaded, she really didn't want to discuss the argument further, she was already upset about it.
"Fine, you finished all your homework?" Sasuke asked as he stood up, putting his own work away in his locker.
Sakura just gave him a weird look.
"What?" he asked innocently, "why are you looking at me like that?"
Chuckling Sakura raised an eyebrow, "not only do you look like your Mom, but you sound like her too"
Sasuke scowled as the pinkette continued laughing, he then grabbed his textbook and smacked her over the head.
"Ow! Hey!" she pouted and rubbed her head.
"You deserve it" he mumbled back.

The six friends; Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Ino, Shikamaru and Kiba, sat in the malls food court, eating away at their ice creams.
"So did you honestly hit him?" Naruto spoke up, his question directed to Kiba, who sat close to finishing his sprinkle cone.
"Hell yeah, the dick was annoying as hell" he mumbled.
"Who'd you hit?" Sakura asked.
"The new kid, what's his name?"
"Sai" Naruto answered, licking away at his own chocolate ice cream.
"Yeah him"
"Why?" Sasuke asked, not having his own ice cream, but a plain cup of water.
"He called me a penis!" Kiba shouted, getting looks from disapproving parents all around, sitting with their own kids.
"You're making a scene, mutt-boy" Shika drowned out, tossing his vanilla cone in a nearby garbage can.
"I really don't give a fuck, those parents should just realize their kids will be saying those words eventually"
Naruto snorted at this, it actually seemed quite true.
"So Sakura…"
"Don't say it Naruto!"
"But why not? I'm just wondering about…"
"Shut the fuck up, Naruto" she really wasn't in the mood for this again.
Naruto pouted, "fine".
They sat silently again for a few moments, until Ino finally piped up.
"Hey anyone know that guy? He's cute, does he go to our school?" she asked , pointing to a kid around their age, with dark hair and was dressed in all black.
Sasuke's eyes widened.
"Oh shit" he ducked down under the table.
The rest of his friends gave him a weird look.
"Sasuke, I think we're too old to play hide and go seek" Kiba said with a grin.
"Shut it dog breath" he snarled back.
"You know that guy Sasuke?" Sakura clued in.
Sighing Sasuke sat back up into his chair, "unfortunately, yes" he gazed around to see if he was anywhere in sight.
None.
"You guys remember when I went with my family to Paris last year?" (1)
They nodded.
"Yeah well, I met him there and we kind of hit it off and…" he blushed and turned his head downcast.
Ino gasped in realization, "You kissed him!" Didn't you?".
"…Yes"
The others gasped lightly.
"I don't okay! I though he was…good looking so yeah" Sasuke's blushed grew.
As did Naruto's jealousy.
"You didn't go out with him right?" he questioned anxiously.
"Umm… for a bit I did"
"Oh"
Sakura gazed back in forth between Naruto and Sasuke, damn…her theories we're good.
They awkward silence that started to build was suddenly shattered by a foreign voice.
To everyone but Sasuke, that is.
"Sasuke? Sasuke Uchiha?" the voice sounded surprised and excited.
"Crap" was the only thing that was going through Sasuke's mind.
"You remember me right? Andre Haineau?" he stepped closer, "we met in Paris"
Sasuke knew there was no fixing this right now, so he turned and put on the best the fake smile he could.
"Andre! Of course, how are you?"
Here comes hell…
