Naruto couldn't wait for the day to pass. All day he had been watching the clock and hoping that if he stared at it long enough then maybe it would go faster. That was a big failure.

He saw Sasuke in the corridors as usual and he had to strain himself not to push him against the wall and kiss him. At lunch break Naruto, Kiba and Shino found and unclaimed big tree in the courtyard, and they laid welcoming in the shadow it provided. Naruto laid on his back looking at the leaves in the tree above him and longing to go and sort files.

Suddenly Kiba said "Look at that hottie"

Naruto sat up and followed Kiba's eyes and saw them hitting a group of people crossing the courtyard. Naruto assumed Kiba referred to Hinata, as he always did. She had only a little skirt and a bikini on, her top hanging over her arm. Beside her walked Ino and Sakura and they were wearing less. But Naruto's eyes got stuck at someone else. Behind the girls walked Sasuke and Neji, both with no shirts on.

Something pulled inside Naruto, he so wanted to walk up to the Uchiha and just kiss those beautiful lips. He clenched and unclenched his hands, digging in the nails to keep calm.

"What's the matter Uzumaki" Shino asked with his rasping voice. Narutos concentration broke and he looked confused at both Shino and Kiba that now stared at him.

"What?" he asked

"Looked like you were admiring the Uchiha or something" Shino said

Naruto turned his head away and quickly looked at Sasuke who now were laying on the grass talking to Neji. I'm sorry Sasuke he said inside.

He turned back and twitched his neck "Nee, just think about all the ways I want to smack his face. He's a real pain you know, working with. I'm just hoping the principal will let us be finished soon" Then he laid back on the ground and even though Sasuke didn't know what had just been said Naruto promised himself to make it up to him later. Kiba gave him a supporting clap on his leg "I feel sorry for you man"

Not as sorry as I am right now. Naruto thought to himself.

As they crossed the courtyard Neji nodded against one of the big trees. "Isn't that your cleaning buddy?" he asked. Sasuke looked towards the big tree and saw a familiar face looking his way. He was to far away to really tell if Naruto was looking at him, he could easily be looking at the girls walking in front of them, but something in Sasukes mind told him otherwise. "Yeah, sure, if you say so" he answered Neji and took a step out on the grass.

"Not buddies, eh?"

"Nope can't say that"

The boys laid down on the soft grass and shoved their shirts to pillows. Sasuke closed his eyes and thought about how wonderful it would be being with Naruto again later today. He had been longing to see him alone and talk to him all day but the more he longed the slower time seemed to pass. He thought about how amazing Naruto's skin felt against his own and how soft his lips were.

"Sure your not buddies?" Neji said suddenly and made Sasuke twitch in surprise. The raven slowly opened his eyes and glanced at his friend. "Why do you keep asking?"

"'Cause since yesterday you have been all weird, not acting like yourself. If I didn't know better I would say you're in love, but you haven't told me about any girl. So I thought maybe you're just happy that you got a new friend or something"

Sasuke laughed softly and Neji shrugged "No it's absolutely nothing. Ha! Like I would be friend with my worst enemy"

So sorry Naruto! He thought and laid back down.

I stung in his heart to say that, but Neji was kind of his best friend and what would he think if he knew that Sasuke was in love with Naruto.

The door was already open when Naruto came down the stairs. He walked in and closed it behind him, seeing Sasuke looking up form a box. A little smiled played on his face when he stood up and walked to meet Naruto. They stopped just in front of each other. Sasuke looked into the blonds beautiful eyes, almost drowning in the blue. Without thinking he erased the small distance between them and pressed his lips against Narutos. A sweet sensation filled Sasuke's body when Naruto wrapped his arms around Sasuke's waist and pulled him closer. The kiss was intense and after a while Sasuke had to pull away to breath. He looked at Naruto who had a sad expression on his face. "What's wrong?" Sasuke asked, wrapping his arms around Narutos neck.

The blond gazed down, not wanting to look at his new found lover while he told him about what had been said under the tree earlier that day. When he finished he waited to feel Sasuke's arms pulling back from him. But instead he felt a warm hand under his chin. Sasuke tilted Naruto's head up and looked into his eyes. They shined of forgiveness.

Sasuke gave him a soft kiss on his mouth and told about what he had said to Neji. Naruto's eyes widened but all he could do was to smile.

"Why are you smiling?" Sasuke asked offended. Was the dumbass laughing at his bad conscience?

"And I thought I was a big ass jerk, but it turns out your not so far behind! You fit with me" Naruto answered and tilting his head to the side with the last words. Sasuke felt the color rise in his face but when he tried to turn away to hide it, Naruto held his hand against Sasukes cheek. "You don't need to blush, that's just how I feel. I just wanted you to know; I like you a lot Sasuke" he said and kissed the red-faced boy.

Sasuke pulled him closer and tried to express with the kiss how much he liked Naruto but it somehow felt like it wasn't enough. He broke the kiss, still blushing red and his breath a little heavy. He took a step back and looked at the blond, confused boy in front of him. Just now he realized who it was that he was kissing and feeling so strongly about.

Naruto turned a little red "Sasuke, why are you looking at me like that?"

Sasuke snapped out of his thoughts and smiled at Naruto. "Oh it's nothing; I'm just realizing that I like a boy that I used to hate for some reason unknown to me right now. And the fact that I'm either gay or bisexual" he shrugged "but it really doesn't matter. The important thing is that I have you" His smile got wider and Naruto could do nothing but smile back. Sasuke was just about to undo his step back and kiss the blond again when the door creaked and someone opened it.

Naruto and Sasuke didn't have any time to get back to the table and the principal found them standing on the floor, staring dumb at him when he walked in. "What are you two doing?" he asked suspiciously and walked up to them. Sasuke found himself fastest and answered

"We're just walking around, stretching and talking, you get so stiff and cold sitting still down here"

"Oh I see" then the principal walked to the shelves and looked at them "How much have you gotten done?"

"We're almost finished with the first shelf sir"

He nodded approvingly and looked at them "You seem to get along down here, and if you get done I hope you will get along then too" Then he left with a "Good day"

When the man closed the door Naruto made a face "Noticed that he said if and not when we get done"

Sasuke shrugged and looked at the clock "We keep going for two more hours, and then, if you want to, maybe you can eat dinner at my place tonight?" the last he added with soft eyes and a little smile on his lips.
