I Know You Better Than You Think I Do

Summary: To Naruto, Sasuke was everything. To bad losing everything was just a hit by a car away. Now that Sasuke has almost no memory of his previous life, can the two wedded lovers come to terms with the fact that the old Sasuke won't be coming back? NaruSasu

Warnings: Yaoi, boyxboy, temporary one-sided love, fake love, nudity, maybe future lemon, memory loss, OOC-ness (For a reason), drama, blah, blah, blah. That seems to be the main stuff. May add more later.

Disclaimer: You know, the little thing I always forget to put in my FANFICTIONS? I don't own Naruto, geniuses. Or Fantastic Mr. Fox. This is also not a true story, just FYI.

If Sasuke says something and it's written like so: "Insert quote here" He is saying something that either he had said or Naruto had told him in the past.

A/n: Ah, I'm writing this one from INSOMNIA. Been up since three in the GOD DAMN MORNING!

It is now 5:44.

I slept from 1:30 to about 3:10. Joy.

Naruto laughed. Sakura threw him a questioning look.

"It wasn't that funny..."

"You know it was!" Naruto laughed out.

"Oh my god, that was hilarious!" Ino burst out laughing.

"You guys have no hope." Choji said, shoving a potato chip into his mouth.

"Haha, oh my god, you're good at telling jokes." Naruto said as he and the blonde calmed down. An angry vein was pulsing on Shikamaru's head.

"It wasn't a joke."

"Oh?" Naruto looked at his friend, slightly amazed.

"You like... a GIRL?" Ino asked incredulously.

"Yes, I do. And thanks for being asses." Shikamaru replied.

"Oh, Shikamaru, I didn't think you were the kind of person for that, that's all." Naruto said apologetically.

"We didn't think you were, either." Choji pointed out.

"Yeah, and we laughed our asses off, just the same." Ino said, patting Naruto's shoulder. "And look where that got you, big boy."

"Yeah, yeah, shut up." Naruto rolled his eyes.

It was about two days since Naruto's recent discovery of the 'over the shirt only' rule. They were currently grouped together at Sakura's house, the pinkette spontaneously deciding that it would be good for Sasuke for them to get together again. Naruto's friends were trying desperately to get used to Sasuke again, but, honestly, some weren't used to Sasuke to begin with.

See, Naruto had known Sasuke for five years before he had really brought him up to his friends, and he only brought him up because they were about to get married. This stunned all his friends into silence (After the laughter and apologies, of course) and then the congradulations made its course. His group of friends had been trying their best to let Sasuke in ever since, but now they found it increasingly hard.

"Oi, Sasuke, care to join us?"

Sasuke looked over at the blond. "Huh? Oh... uh, I'm comfortable over here..."

"We don't bite, Sasuke. Promise." Ino said.

"Well, she does, but I don't." Sakura said, jabbing an accusing thumb towards Ino.

"Hey, shut it, billboard brow!" Ino retorted.

"Girls, girls, seriously." Naruto said, breaking up the fight. "Hey, is Neji going to come?"

"Nah, he said something urgent came up at work. Something urgent, my ass." Shikamaru remarked.

"Aw, that sucks." Naruto said.

"Hey, Sasu, you're supposed to be hanging out with us! We got together for you." Ino called over to the raven.

"Oi, no pet names for my-" Naruto cut himself off. "...friend."

"Friend? You've got to be kidding me."

"More like friend with benefits." Ino and Sakura giggled.

"Gah, girls are troublesome..." Shikamaru mumbled.

"See? I told you that you didn't seem like the type to like girls!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Whatever." Shikamaru grumbled in response.

"I'll go get us some drinks." Sakura said, heading off toward the kitchen.

"She didn't even ask us what she wanted! That bitch!" Ino said.

"Why do girls always call each other 'bitch'?" Naruto asked.

"Because, among us girls, that's considered a sign of respect, depending on how you use it."

"But if I called you a bitch you'd get all bitchy."

"You're a guy, Naruto. There's a difference."

"What if Sasuke called you a bitch?" Naruto asked.

"Sasuke? I wouldn't mind."

"Well he's a guy, too!"

"But he's gay."

"But I'm gay!"

"But he's on the bottom."

"But-"

"No but's about it." Ino cut Naruto off, leaving a pouting blond left pondering over the conversation.

Sakura came back in the room with their drinks.

"Oh, good. Orange soda, my favourite!" Ino exclaimed. "And to think I almost called you a bitch."

"Almost is not enough in the real world." Sasuke retorted.

Silence. Complete silence.

"What?" Sasuke asked upon noticing all of the eyes on him.

"You-you... w-why did you say that?" Choji asked.

"I don't know," Sasuke shrugged, "I felt like it. It felt right, don't ask me."

"You... it felt right?" Sakura asked.

"Yeah."

"That doesn't annoy you?" Shikamaru asked.

"Okay, I can see them getting all weird about something but you, Shikamaru? What the hell did I just say?"

Naruto cleared his throat.

"Sasuke... I used to say that all the time." Sasuke looked at the man.

"But you don't know."

"Because every time I said it... it... upset you," Naruto continued, "and I didn't want to upset you, so I-I stopped."

"How long ago was that?"

"E-eight years." Naruto gulped, "Eight years ago."

"Oh." Sasuke then continued to stare out the window as if nothing had ever happened.

The others seemed to get out of their shock.

"Well... uh, if anyone else want drinks..." Sakura set down the glasses, "They're right here..."

"Y-yeah." Ino said, her hands still trembling slightly.

Why did it shake them up? Well, it was weird, almost like hearing a ghost. They hadn't said that or heard that in over eight years and now Sasuke says it as if it's nothing, even after losing all of his memories? It was... unnerving, to say the least.

"Naruto, are you going to be alright?" Sakura asked.

"Y-yeah." Naruto said, smiling and nodding, though the movement was slightly choppy.

Now, Naruto saw this in a different light. So what, Sasuke had said something that hadn't been spoken in almost eight years, this was good news! This meant that, no matter how deeply buried they were, Sasuke still had his memories! So, if he could pry them out... but, wait. What if he just said it, spur of the moment? No, no, that couldn't be it, could it?

Damn, this relationship just got more and more complicated as time wore on.


"Naruto...?" Sasuke asked quietly.

"Yeah?"

"My... parents. They're dead... aren't they?" Sasuke asked. Naruto was dumbfounded. What was he supposed to say?

"Uh... yeah. They died when you were... six..." Naruto trailed off.

"I know. I remember. It's... I don't know... refreshing, in its own way."

"Refreshing?" Naruto asked incredulously.

"Yeah. I know that at least I have a part of me." Sasuke mumbled, smiling.

"You've always had a part of you." Naruto said kissing Sasuke's hand.

"Why are you so romantic?" Sasuke asked the blond.

"Because I want to be. I love being romantic with you, is there a problem?" Naruto asked.

"No... not at all..." Sasuke replied, settling down onto the blond once again.

"Go to sleep, Sasuke. You really need it right now..." Naruto whispered.

"Mmnuhh..." Naruto smiled.

"Night."


A/n: Duuuude, I would be pissed if I were you, fucking haters (That's what I call you. R:OFTLOM readers are the Trolled Bitched, you are my Fucking Haters.). That was one shitty update. And, now it's 6:18, just so you know how long it took me. :D

But, I bring good news! I will add future lemon! I will! HOLD IT AGAINST ME IF I DON'T!
