With Sasuke's house being nearly a forty-five minute drive from Naruto's own it gave the raven time to think, time to think about everything that he had just witnessed and more. He was not paying attention to the road that seemed to be going in an unlimited straight line, had they even been around a curve since turning off of Naruto's street? He wasn't even sure.

Much to Naruto's dismay, as he looked over at the raven he could tell that he was deep in thought. He could shift in his seat, running a slim hand over his thigh to straighten out any wrinkles in his jeans nervously. The scenery to his right seemed to be going by a lot faster than a few seconds ago. He looked at the raven once again, and then glanced at the speedometer. His eyes widened ever so slightly, thinking that the raven was doing it on purpose, just trying to get him home, made him comfortable enough to relax for a few minutes.

That was until he realized that they were now going 80 in a 45 zone. Looking up at the raven's lost eyes Naruto started to panic. "Sasuke, please slow down…"

His plea went unheard by the distracted raven. His eyes flicked from the road to Sasuke and back again, "Sasuke, stop the car."

"Stop the fucking car Sasuke!" Naruto finally screamed, "Sasuke! Stop, your fucking scaring me!"

Just because Sasuke had a sports car did not mean he had to show off what it would do. Naruto's eyes were filled with unshed tears and his heart was racing, trying to beat out of his chest. He was preparing himself for an accident to happen, going 100 now.

Everything was quiet; it was like things were going in slow motion as a large semi headed straight for them. Their horn blaring like an echo in the back of Naruto's mind. "Sasuke please!" He screamed, finally snapping the raven out of his thoughts. The car swerved back into their lane and Sasuke pressed the breaks quickly, their bodies going forward before slamming back into the seats as they stopped in the middle of the road. What had just happened?

Sasuke's breath was heavy and his hands gripped the steering wheel as tightly as possible. He looked to his right, at Naruto, the boy was abnormally pale and quiet, his gaze wide and frightened, salty tears leaking from his cobalt eyes and down his neck.

"I'm sorry." Sasuke said as calmly as he could manage. "I wasn't paying attention."

"Obviously!" Naruto shouted, "Don't let what you saw back there fuck with your head like that, stop thinking about it. Stop thinking about me."

"Stop thinking about you?" Sasuke scoffed. "How can I stop thinking about you when you're right here next to me? I can't stop thinking about you because you just won't get out of my head. As soon as I open my eyes in the mornings thoughts of you fill my head, all day long and right before I go to sleep there you are, right there in my head. I fucking like you, okay?"

The car was completely quiet, the silence echoed in the small space and Sasuke looked back at the road with a blank expression. He should have just kept his mouth shut; it was stupid to confess that he actually liked Naruto after saving him and then almost killing him again. Meaningless feelings shouldn't be brought up, someone would get hurt.

"Sasuke…" The blonde started.

"Don't." Sasuke put the car into gear and started down the highway.

Scene Change.

The multi-colored sky just above the rows upon rows of trees was turning from a silky pink into a dirty gray, signaling that nightfall would soon come. The two teenagers had not said one word to each other since the car incident, on the inside Naruto was convinced that Sasuke was just saying that he liked him out of pity, besides, did Sasuke mean like him or like him? Naruto huffed and shook his head, he didn't want to think. Thinking always got him into situations he did not like. With a deep breath he opened his eyes and looked into the distance in front of him. The Uchiha's had a very lovely home he noted; he would have to remember to tell Mikoto that.

Naruto gripped onto a post that connected from the railing of the balcony to the roof, hoisting himself up one foot at a time onto the sturdy railing, the hand on the post barely brushing the wood now. A gentle breeze floated over him as he looked down to the ground below, he was nearly three stories up. Would it be so bad? He wondered as he gazed down, letting his fingers fully slip from the wooden post. He wobbled a few times before steadying himself once again, his arms by his side limply. Naruto took in a deep breath.

Leaving everything behind did not seem like a bad idea at all. Leaving this world would be a welcome task, being away from Muku, would be an honor. Something inside of his chest thumped harshly as he pictured himself leaning forwards just a bit, just enough to make him unbalanced and he would be freefalling. Straight to the ground below; straight to his freedom. His chest ached at the thought of leaving a certain black haired boy behind, he realized. Naruto had created a relationship with Sasuke, rather he wanted to admit it or not.

He wasn't exactly sure how he felt about that either. He and Sasuke had been friends for months now, they were like best friends, and apparently more. He wanted to deny the fact that Sasuke had slowly crept his way into his life and managed to stay there. Best friends were supposed to tell each other everything, so should he tell Sasuke? Well, confirm is more like it. He had a feeling that the raven had figured it out by now.

"What are you doing?"

Naruto didn't bother turning to look at the intruder, he simply shook his head. "Just thinking."

"Well come down here and think…" Sasuke grasped Naruto's wrist slowly, waiting to see if he had permission to continue. When Naruto grasped Sasuke's own hand he knew that it was okay and helped the blonde down. "I'm sorry."

"its fine, Sasuke."

"No really… I shouldn't have said tha-"

"Shut up, I… I like you too."
