Naruto stirred in his sleep, a shifting of something on top of him slowly pulling him awake. He was about to go into panic mode, like any normal human would when you woke up with somebody on top of you, but quickly realized it was just Sasuke. He lay still, the room was a dark blue, the shadows from dusk tainting the perfect whiteness of the walls, listening to the older teen's soft, calm breathing. Absently, his fingers toyed with the dark locks, a soft smile spreading across his lips at the vulerability of the boy while he was sleeping. The Uchiha was unnaturally adorable in slumber, his fist balled up next to his face with his lips slightly parted.

Naruto was about to let himself mentally admit that he had some affectionate feelings for this boy, when the stillness of the room was abrubtly interupted by none other than Hatake Kakashi. The man quickly flicked on the light switch, stopping dead in his tracks when he noticed the two boys. The tray in his hands slipped, crashing to the floor along with his jaw. The gray-haired medic quickly shuffled around, picking up the plate. Thankfully, it had only been a sand-which on the tray, and nothing had actually spilled.

"I-I'm sorry, I didn't know you two were.. doing anything."

The invading lights had, by now, woken up the pale teen, and he was glancing around the room, confusion obvious on his features. His dark hair was tousled, one side all bunched up. There was a red print across his cheek where he'd been sleeping, and his hand moved up to wipe a small trail of drool from his chin. His charcoal eyes squinted a few times, and he rubbed away the sleep. Sasuke's hands were about to ask what was going on, when his sudden state of sleepiness took over again, and he layed back against Naruto's chest, his ignore switch on. Mind you all, it's extremely easy to ignore people when you can't hear them in the first place. Dark eyes were soon closed, and the room was once again dark, Kakashi having left a few seconds prior. He was beginning to get uncomfortable, and favored moving off of the blonde to curl up against his side. Now, the pale boy was facing a window, which was currently streaked with rain. Out of habit, he tensed, the rain had always bothered him, not exactly the water, just the lightning. When he was younger, the thunder had bothered him too, but now that he couldn't hear it, things wearn't as bad. But still, the lightening was enough to make him cry..

The older teen gently poked Naruto in the side, his fingers curling around the soft material of his shirt. When the blonde looked at him in questioning, with his free hand, Sasuke pointed towards the window and pressed his face into the younger's shoulder. He couldn't help but feel like he did back when he was five or six, and when it rained, he'd wrap himself up in his blanket and make his way down the hall into Itachi's room. He'd curl up with his big brother and end up falling asleep in the comforting arms, the thunder and lightning forgotten. And over the years, every time the rain fell, he'd lay alone in his bed, pretending his brother was there. Maybe he was a bit of a masochist for not letting go, but hey, he had nobody else. His memories were soon interupted when the blonde turned over, pulling their bodies close together. Sasuke smiled against his chest, glad that he wouldn't actually have to admit he was scared of something as petty as rain. (don't even laugh at him, I'm scared of rain too.. I cried once in my freshman year when the lights went out at school...)

Naruto was a bit suprised at their situation, he never thought he'd ever be holding someone so close.. and actually being comfortable. Much less being this close to someone who couldn't hear him.. unless he learned the language, Naruto would basically never be able to talk to the pale teen. Sure, they could write.. but.. that couldn't be enough. Did that make him selfish? No.. He was positive Sasuke would appreciate not having to write all the time.. Maybe, just possibly, he could learn the language. But he wasn't going to think about it right now.. he was busy being comforting. How would one go about making a person feel.. safer from the rain? His hands idly rubbed softly against the small of the pale teen's back, careful not to make him uncomfortable. Without thinking, he pressed their bodies closer, drawing in the warmth of the boy's body. As his arms squeezed him softly, Naruto couldn't help but notice how.. small Sasuke was, for someone of his age at least. It wasn't like he was.. disturbingly skinny, he was just tiny. And now that he thought about it, he was more than a few inches shorter too. But his small appearance made him all the more cute. Not quite letting go, Naruto moved one of his arms up to better view his watch. The small green digits informed him that it was just a little past 8.. He was pretty hungry, and he needed to get home, he still had homework. But he didn't want to leave Sasuke alone for the night..

Tapping the boy on the shoulder to prepare him, Naruto slowly moved away from the warm body. He climbed from the bed and flipped on the light switch again, picking up his notebook and pen from the edge of the mattress. By now, Sasuke had sat up, watching the blonde intently. Naruto sat back next to him, quickly scrawling on the paper.

'Do you want me to stay the night?'

'You'll have to ask Kakashi, but sure!'

'Ok, but I'll have to run home real quick and get some clothes..'

'No problem, go ask!'

Naruto grinned, quickly walking from the room to head down to find Kakashi. He located the man at the front desk, nose buried in an orange book. "Kakashi, Sasuke wants to know if I can stay the night.."

"I don't care, but I'm not washing the sheets if you two soil them.." The gray-haired man responded, a knowing tone in his words. This ultimatly caused Naruto to blush, him having no intentions of doing what the man was suggesting.

"O-Ok.. But, I've gotta get a change of clothes from my house."

"If you say so.. I'll give you a ride if you want, save money on a cab.. But I always find it better to do it without clothes.. Less of a mess that way.."

Naruto pretended not to hear the last part, nodding his answer to the medic instead.

"Might wanna get some lotion or something while you're there.. First times tend to be really.. friction-y."

"WE'RE NOT HAVING SEX!" The blonde screeched, effectivly causing all of the other medics and patients around to look up with questioning looks.

"If you say so.. C'mon kid.." The man pulled his car keys from his pocket, ignoring the door and hoping over the desk.

Once they were in the car, Naruto stared out of the window, refusing to look at Kakashi.. This man was way to perverted for his own good..

"He really likes you, yaknow?" The older man stated, not looking away from the road to talk to the boy.

"Who?" Naruto asked, still looking out of the window. It was easier for him to not look at Kakashi right now, since he was probably going to say something perverted again.

"Seriously, Naruto.. Sasuke really likes you. When you're gone, all he talks about is you, Naruto this, Naruto that, Naruto, Naruto, Naruto.. I mean, he barely eats anymore without getting lost in thought, which mostly like are thoughts about you.. You're good for him, I think.. And he's almost 18, can't keep him here forever, yaknow." The man said, his normal self replaced with a far more serious side.

'He really thinks about me that much?' Naruto thought to himself, looking at Kakashi for any sings of lying.

"Honestly, I think you need to go over your intentions for him.. Its obvious you have something for him, you come to see him everyday.. You're altering your schedule at school to see him more. You don't have to admit anything to me.. Just maybe you should tell him."

The blonde sighed, taking in the older's words. It was true, he had feelings for Sasuke.. He just didn't know how to tell him about them.. And what would happen when the pale teen finally did turn 18? Would they make him leave? Sure, Naruto would gladly let him move in.. but, things would be really difficult if they can't understand each other's languages. "Turn here, Kakashi.. My house is at the end of that street.."

It seemed to be hours, the short trip down the road, the few minutes gathering up his clothing, and the small ride back. But finally, they returned, and Naruto made his way back to Sasuke. The pale boy was sitting in the chair the blonde normally sat in, wrapped up in his blanket. A smile spread across his features when he entered the room, but quickly dissapeared when the younger teen didn't smile back. He frowned, and pushed out the notebook and pen to the blonde as he moved from the chair back to his bed.

Naruto glanced down at the bank paper, understanding Sasuke wanted to know what was bothering him.

'I wanna tell you, I wanna tell you so bad.. I just don't know how to say it..'

'Did I do something wrong?'

'No, Sasuke. Its not you, you haven't done anything.. I just need to think about what I have to tell you.'

'Its not bad, is it?'

'I don't think so..'

'Oh, well if you wanna get your mind off of whatever it is, we can go to the sitting area place and eat something. I am kinda hungry.'

'Sounds good..' Naruto made to climb off of the bed, only when he felt a small hand tugging him back, he turned around. Sasuke leaned forward a little, and barely, just barely, pressed the softest of soft kisses to his cheek. The pale teen let go of the blonde, and slid from the bed, gesturing for him to follow.

The younger teen smiled, shaking his head at the boys antics, before following him out of the room.

(I'm gonna skip them eating.. and you'll just pretend Naruto did his homework after they ate.. )

-

Sasuke's wet hair was cold against Naruto's bare chest, but he ignored it, savoring the feeling of the boy against his body. As his arms made to hug the pale teen, Sasuke's head lifted, suppourting himself up with his arms. He smiled, and leaned down slowly, his face millimeters away from Naruto's. He wasn't going to kiss him, he would let the blonde do it.. After all, he wasn't very forward.. He grinned, as Naruto's lips met his shortly, and was satisfied to go to sleep. Sasuke lay back against his chest, pulling the blankets up over their bodies. It didn't take but less than five minutes for the both of them to fall asleep, Naruto dreaming about Sasuke, and Sasuke dreaming about Naruto.

(was that to short guys? I hope not.. I just didn't wanna start a new day yet.. tell me if you think it's too soon for them to start.. being a little closer.. I don't mean like.. eh hem, yet, but maybe just a little bit more of the way it ended, like.. kisses and stuff..)
