Okay, so I'm updating again, because I got two more reviews :3 Reviews make me all fuzzy. I feel this chapter is too short, but what can I do? Updates might be slowing down (instead of updating twice a freaking day, I might update like, once a week) and this is because, I've only written up to the end of this chapter. Now, I'm writing as I'm updating, and I'm not ahead anymore.

I'm happy because this is officially the longest story I've ever written. *Does happy dance* I guess I just really like Naruto.

This story is going to have about, oh, 15 chapters. So yes, we're about half way through. There might be less, and there might be more. I don't know exactly how I'm going to end this. And yes, there will be a lemon by the end :3 I'm nervous on writing it. An author writing their first lemon, is like, spiritual. XD

Anywho, warnings for this chapter: Surprisingly, not much. I think this is the cleanest chapter in the whole story so far. Yes, there is SasuNaru, but no lemons or limes. Sorry fan girls, lol. Just think of it as the calm before the storm. Plenty of yaoi goodness coming up soon, I promise. I want the lemon, too.

Sasuke woke a few hours later, a cold draft hitting his back. He frowned and tried to sit up, only to stop short as he felt a heavy weight on his chest. He looked down to see Naruto cuddled up to him, a arm draped over his stomach in a possessive manner. The blonde's breathing was even, his mouth parted slightly as he slept.

Sasuke couldn't help but notice how peaceful the boy looked, and how almost... angelic he seemed when he slept. The corners of his mouth turned down in sleep, and he snuggled closer to Sasuke.

The raven looked out the window, only to see that the sky was completely dark. He mentally swore and wondered how long they had been asleep.

"Naruto," he whispered, trying to move slightly only to have the blonde frown again and snuggle closer to him.

"Naruto, wake up," he whispered again, only to have the blonde ignore him once more.

Sasuke sighed and leaned down, planting a soft kiss on the blonde's lips.

"Naruto," he said a little louder this time. All he received was a 'hmm..' from the boy. He kissed him again, longer this time. And even in sleep, the blonde gently kissed him back.

"Naruto," he whispered against his lips.

"Naruto."

Kiss.

"Naruto."

Kiss.

"Naruto."

Kiss.

Finally, the blonde's eyes opened a fraction, a sleepy look in them. Sasuke again couldn't help himself from thinking how cute the blonde looked just then.

"Hmm, Sasuke? How long have I been asleep?" He asked, bringing his hand up and rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.

"I don't know, I just woke up," he replied, a soft smile on his lips. Yes, this was the reason he had developed feelings for the boy, he thought. When the blonde wasn't yapping his head off or calling him names, he seemed so innocent. Naruto made a little mewing sound, sitting up and looking around tiredly.

"Hm. It's dark," he stated, rubbing his eyes more, trying to wipe the sleep from them. Sasuke sat up too, running a hand through his hair.

"My pants are all sticky. I need to change," the blonde said, frowning, still half asleep. He stood up, trudging over to the stairs, before looking back at Sasuke.

"Do you want to stay the night?" he asked the raven. Sasuke contemplated it for a moment before nodding. If he went home now, Itachi would chew him out.

He got up from the couch, grabbing his boxers off the floor and putting them on before following Naruto up the stairs. Naruto pointed to his bedroom door before walking down the hall to the bathroom.

Sasuke walked in, taking in the room for the first time.

The walls were a bright orange, very Naruto like. The carpet was a deep blue, matching the bed cover. The bed was huge, mountains of pillows piling on it in disarray, the bed still unmade. Clothes were strewn across the floor, empty instant ramen cups littered the desk. A dresser stood beside it, a small TV sitting on top. All the drawers were open, barely any clothes in them, having all been covering the floor.

Sasuke made his way over to the bed, sitting on the edge. He looked at the nightstand right beside it, smiling as he noted the dinged alarm clock, looking as if it had taken quite a bit of abuse over the years.

He looked on to see several photographs lining the stand. One was of Naruto and Sakura, probably from when they were just starting out high school. They held each other around the waist, laughing faces frozen. They were in what looked like a flower garden or meadow, standing in a bunch of wild flowers.

The next picture was of a huge group of Naruto's friends, some of which Sasuke regodnized as Ino, Sakura, Kiba, Hinata, and that black haired boy that Sasuke had met at the party. They stood huddled in a group, Naruto and the boy in front. The boy's arm were rapped around his waist, kissing him on the cheek and Naruto was laughing, rolling his eyes. That made Sasuke wonder if they had had any kind of relationship. He decided he would ask Naruto later.

The next picture was of Naruto as a baby, being held by who Sasuke recognized as his mom, his dad standing with them. The headmaster of their school Shizune, Jiryah, and Orochimaru stood off to the side, smiling.

The last picture made Sasuke stop up short. It was a picture of him, standing on a stage, a microphone in hand. Sasuke recognized it as the karaoke bar, as he was standing, one hand on his hip, winking at the crowd as he moved suggestively. He hadn't known that anyone had been taking pictures, but it surprised him more that it was on the blonde's nightstand. He was sort of flattered, as it seemed that Naruto only kept pictures of the people really close to him on the stand. Before he could think anymore into it, Naruto came into the room, outfitted in a loose night shirt and a pair of flannel (orange) pajama pants. He crawled onto the bed, burying his head into the mound of pillows.

"You can just wear whatever you can find, I guess," the blonde mumbled into his pillow. Sasuke stood, looking around before finding a pair of clean pajama bottoms and slipping them on before sitting back down. He slowly laid, and Naruto pulled the navy blanket over the both of them, pulling close to Sasuke, resting his head on his chest.

"Naruto?"

Hmmm?"

"Goodnight."

"Nighty-night, Sasuke," the blonde replied, already falling asleep.

Sasuke rapped his arms around the blonde's waist, and drifted off once again, a small, content smile on his face.

BEEP BEEP BEEP!

"Ugh..."

BEEP BEEP BEEP!

"Damn it Naruto, turn it off!"

"You're closer!"

BEEP BEEP BEEP!

"God damn it, just make it shut up!"

"FINE!"

Sasuke had the wind knocked out of him as Naruto purposely elbowed him in the stomach, crawling over him to reach the shrilling alarm clock. Sasuke looked up in just enough time to see Naruto throw the alarm clock across the room, and the ringing stopped.

"Oh my god, that's the first time it's actually stopped when I've done that. Awesome, maybe I broke it!" Naruto said, doing a fist pump in the air.

"You're happy that you broke your alarm clock?" Sasuke asked, rubbing his stomach.

"Yeah, now I can be late and not be bugged about it," Naruto said, stretching his arms above his head. Sasuke just shook his head, running a hand through his hair.

"That hurt, you know," he said.

"Good."

Naruto climbed over him and got up, shuffling over to his dresser.

"You can borrow my clothes if you need to. You probably don't want to wear what you did yesterday, being as I'm sure we got them all dirty..." Naruto said, smirking a bit as Sasuke glared at him.

"Damn you, that was my favorite pair of pants," he said, standing up.

"God, teme, it's ridiculous how tight your pants are. Why do you wear them?" Naruto asked, shuffling through the left over clothes in his drawer.

"Because they make my ass look good," he replied, stretching himself. Naruto just rolled his eyes.

"What? I know you like the view, dobe, I do catch you staring at my ass," he said.

"... No comment."

"Sure," Sasuke said, walking over to the blonde.

"So what do I wear?" He asked.

"Well, I only have two pairs of clothes clean at the moment, and I'm wearing these," he said, pulling a pile out of the drawer.

"So you," he said, "have to wear these," he said pulling more clothes out. Sasuke just stared at them.

"Is that shirt... Orange?" he asked.

"Yup," Naruto replied, unfolding it to show the words 'believe it' spelled across the front.

Naruto could swear that he saw Sasuke's eye twitch as he grabbed the clothes. The pair headed for the bathroom and Naruto lent the Uchiha a spare tooth brush, and the two got ready.

Once they were down in the kitchen, Sasuke took a seat at the island as Naruto opened the fridge.

"How do you like your eggs?" He asked, chuckling to himself.

Sasuke frowned.

"Whats so funny?" he asked.

"Nothing, it just that the term 'how do you like your eggs in the morning?' is a pickup line, and it just popped into my head," he explained, pulling out the carton.

Sasuke just shot him a look.

"You have the weirdest sense of humor, and scrambled, to answer your question," the raven replied, and the blonde set to work. Soon both of the boys were fed, and they set off for the high school.

"Hey, Naruto?" Sasuke said, looking down at his feet as they walked.

"Yeah?"

"How come you don't drive to school? I mean, you have the money for a car and everything," he asked, glancing at the blonde, who just shrugged.

"I don't like to use my parent's money, and plus, I never passed my drivers test," he said, staring up at the sky.

"You never passed your test? Why?"

"I don't know. I passed the written part, but for some reason the driving instructor didn't pass me," he replied.

"Maybe it was because I drive like a maniac, I don't know," he continued, smiling.

"... Remind me never to let you drive my car," Sasuke said, shuttering as he pictured his car rammed front first into an office building, Naruto cackling in the front seat.

"How come you don't drive to school if you have a car?" Naruto asked, looking over to the raven.

"I just don't like driving. It seems like the lazy thing to do, when you can walk," Sasuke said, kicking a rock.

"Yeah, I guess you could look at it that way," Naruto said. They walked for a few more minutes in silence.

"Hey, Sasuke, can I ask you something?"

"Yeah?"

"Are you really an exhibitionist?"

That made the raven laugh.

"Only with you, dobe. Only with you."

Naruto frowned.

"But why-" Naruto was cut off by a yell.

"NARUTO! HEY, WAIT UP!" Sakura screamed, jogging to catch up with them. Once she reached the pair, she fling herself in the blonde's arms, giving him a kiss, that made Sasuke's eye twitch.

"Hey, Sakura, what's up?" Naruto asked, putting an arm around his girlfriend's waist, grinning over her head at the slightly pained expression on Sasuke's face.

"Nothing much, oh hey Sasuke, what are you doing around here?" She asked, turning to the raven.

"Oh, just walking from a girlfriend's house. She doesn't go to our school, so she went the other way. I just caught up with the dobe, here," he replied easily.

Sakura just made a face.

"Don't call Naruto a dobe, Sasuke. That's rude," she scowled at him.

"And why... are you wearing that shirt? I didn't know you liked orange," she said, looking him over.

"Oh, yeah, it's my favorite color, you didn't know? I just got this," he replied, shooting a look at Naruto as he chuckled.

Sakura seemed to be deciding whether she believed him, but in the end just shrugged and let go of Naruto, skipping in front of the two. Sauske thought back to Naruto's question. Was he an exhibitionist? No, but why not act like it?

"Oh, look, a butterfly!" She said, running ahead a little. Before Naruto could even register what was happening, Sasuke had grabbed his hand and pulled him forward, pulling him into a kiss. Naruto kissed him back for a moment before pushing him back by the shoulders.

"Dammit, teme! Don't pull shit like that!" He whisper/yelled as Sakura turned around, having caught the butterfly. Luckily, she hadn't seen them, and Sasuke smirked. Naruto scowled at the raven, silently promising to kill him later.

"Look, Naruto, isn't it pretty?" Sakura asked, holding her hand up where the butterfly rested. It's wings were a pretty shade of blue, with black outlining the edges.

"Cool, Saku! How did you catch it?" He asked, gently touching one of it's wings, to which it fluttered.

"I think it just likes me, I guess. It didn't move when I scooped it up," she replied smiling. The three of them walked, Sakura and Naruto discussing the butterfly, which eventually flew away.

Sasuke walked behind them, only half listening to the conversation. He thought back to Naruto's earlier question again. Was he an exhibitionist? He really didn't think so. But he supposed that he did get a bit of fun out of seeing Naruto's surprised and angry face when he did thinks like that, and Sauske loved the face the blonde couldn't kill him for it right then and there. The trio soon arrived at the school, walking together to their homeroom class, where Sasuke broke away from the pair, heading for his usual seat in the back while the other two sat up front, surrounded by their group of friends.

Now was one of those times he wished he could be publicly together with Naruto, so he could be the one sitting in the blonde's lap, fittling with his hair instead of Sakura. He didn't really let it get to him much, being as he knew that Naruto wasn't interested in the pink haired girl in that way, at least anymore. He knew that Naruto really only was interested in him, but it still bugged him to some extent when he watched his Naruto being molested in public by someone other than him.

'Your' Naruto? My, you are a possessive little bastard, aren't you? A little voice in the back of his mind asked.

You got it fucking damn right. He's mine.

My, my, Sasuke, acting like a bitchy, overprotective girlfriend is your thing now?

Well, I am a bitchy, overprotective girlfriend to some extent.

Damn, keep this thinking up and he'll dump you.

Psh, as if. I'm way to fucking hot.

Oh, bitchy, over possessive, and cocky now? You're on a roll.

Go to hell.

Just then, Kakashi walked in, carrying nothing but that little orange book he always had with him. Everybody quieted down as he sat at his desk, looking around at the students.

"For the next week we'll be doing a group project going over what we've learned in the past semester. Each group will be assigned a literature book we've read, and will be expected to give a full, six page report on the books' meaning, depth, message, and theme along with details about the author explaining how the author's own personal experience affected the books. We've read pretty popular titles, so finding the information shouldn't be difficult. Every group will be a group of three, which I have already sorted out before hand,"he said, causing the whole class to groan at his last statement. Usually, Kakashi picked the worst pairings possible, just to see how well the students can put aside differences to pass. Not only was he teaching literature, but life lessons to some extent, showing that you may have to work with people you won't want to in life, but will have to put up with it.

"Team one," he barked, calling everyone's undivided attention.

"Ino Yamanaka, Shikimaru Nara, and Choji Akimichi, team two.." he trailed on, Sasuke zoning out a bit until he heard his name.

"Team seven, Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki," fuck yes!, "... And Sakura Haruno."

God damn it.

Sasuke moved up to sit with his group, scowling. He resisted the urge to slap Naruto across the back of his head as he saw the boy grin like the Cheshire cat.

Sasuke shook his head. If anything, it was Naruto that was in trouble. He was going to make this week hell for the blonde. Oh yes, he felt a plan already forming.

"Sasuke!" Sakura shouted, waving a hand in front of his face, pulling him out of his devious thoughts.

"What?" he snapped, smacking her hand away from his face.

"I asked if it would be alright with you if we went to Naruto's house after school to work on the project," she said in an irritated voice.

"Oh, yeah, sure we can go over to the dobe's house, but are you sure your parents won't mind you being alone in a house with two boys?" He asked.

"It's fine. My parents know Naruto, so they know that he wouldn't try to pull anything," she informed him. His eyebrows rose at that. Did her parents not know the two of them were dating..?

Just then, the door opened, and the room seemed to quiet. Sasuke looked over to see what it was, and if he were anyone other than Sasuke Uchiha, he would have screamed.

A man in a long black overcoat walked through the isle, his long black hair tied loosely in a pony tail that swished back and forth when he walked. He had a very serious and hostile air around him, one that definitely belonged to some sort of business man. His eyes were cold and calculating, but not straying from his target at the front desk.

Itachi Uchiha stopped in front of the desk, and held out his hand which the surprised literature teacher took.

"Itachi! It's been a while. What brings you here?" Kakashi asked, speaking to the man as if he was an old friend, which to some extent they were. The white haired man had taken care of the boy in his later teen years after his parent's death, as well as Sasuke, who was to young to really remember it.

"Just stopping by to see how you were doing, I haven't checked up on you for a while," the elder Uchiha said warmly.

"Plus," he added, "my little brother did not come home last night, and I got a bit worried when I did not receive a phone call or any form of notification that he was all right," Itachi said, turning to seek out his younger brother, who was regretfully, sitting in the front row. The rest of the class seemed to go back to what they were doing, but you could tell some were still listening to the conversation, pretending to not be.

"Ah, Sasuke didn't come home last night? Curious. He is here," Kakashi said, nodding toward the young raven, who was trying to sink back into his seat, looking as if he wanted to disappear. Sasuke flinched as his brother's penetrating gaze fell on him. He knew that he was in deep shit this time, being as Itachi had never come to his school ever before. The Uchiha was surprised his elder brother even knew where he went to school.

"Ah," the business man said, letting go of his former guardians hand, walking up to the desk Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura were crowding around.

"Any explanation, little brother?" The man asked, not even sparing a glance at the other two occupants of the table.

Sasuke looked down, a slight blush on his face.

"It is no business of yours, Itachi," he said, trying to keep his voice even.

"Oh, but I believe it is my business to know where you are every moment of the day, as I am your legal guardian," Itachi said, folding his arms when Sasuke refused to answer him.

"What would mother think if she were here, little brother? I'm sure she would be very disappointed in you," the man said.

"Yeah well, she's dead now, isn't she? Doesn't make a damn of a difference," Sasuke said, voice emotionless.

Itachi pierced his lips, turning his back to his brother.

"We will talk of this later," he said over his shoulder, walking back up to Kakashi, and starting up a conversation to which the teacher accepted easily.

"Damn, teme, that's your brother? He seems scary," Naruto said, sniggering.

"Shut your mouth, dobe. It's none of your business," Sasuke snapped, but saw the look in Naruto's eyes. The one that said 'we're talking about this later'. He nodded slightly, an action that was not missed by the elder Uchiha, who was silently watching him as he carried on his conversation with Kakashi.

"So, Sasuke, you'll be in charge of research of the author, Naru will take what we'll use for the report from the book, and I'll put it together once you both have that done," Sakura said, choosing to ignore the two's jabs.

"Sounds good," Naruto said, smiling and stretching his arms above his head.

"Fine," Sasuke said, folding his arms.

"Great! So I'll see you two at lunch! I have to go talk to Ino about her birthday next month, so bye!" She said, popping up and planting a kiss on Naruto that lasted a bit longer than a goodbye kiss really had to. Sasuke's fists clenched involuntarily, and a few feet away the older raven's eyebrows rose a fraction, studying his brother.

Once Sakura skipped off in the other direction, Naruto turned to the raven, dropping his voice low.

"You better not try anything in front of her during this project," he warned, and Sasuke smirked. Standing up, the raven leaned over to whisper in the blonde's ear.

"Oh, but that wouldn't be any fun, now would it? I think I'll like watching you squirm," he whispered, causing the blonde to punch him in the shoulder.

"Asshole, if you do anything, I swear I'll..."

"You'll what?" he asked, straightening up, throwing his bag over his shoulder.

"I'll leave that for you to imagine," the blonde said, smirking himself.

"Is that a threat?" He asked, rolling his eyes.

"Nope. It's a promise," the blonde smiled wickedly as the raven's eyes widened slightly. Sasuke cleared his throat, and walked to the back of the class, taking his usual seat, trying to keep his face from burning.

The older Uchiha watched with curious eyes, unable to hear the conversation between the two students. It was the first time he had dropped by his brother's school, and the only reason he did now was that he had some free time out of his busy schedule, and on the contrary to popular belief, he was quite worried about his brother. Itachi knew that Sasuke was a teenager, and that it was bound to happen that he wasn't going to come home every night, but usually he received some sort of notification from his younger brother when he was not coming home so he knew that everything was alright. He was also due for a visit with his former guardian, as he had not seen him for over a year. Kakashi was an old family friend, and Itachi greatly enjoyed the man's company.

Itachi kept his eyes on his brother for the rest of the class, studying his movements. He seemed to act normally, it was only when he was talking to the others that he seemed to act differently. Something about the blonde boy made his little brother act differently, and the thought intrigued Itachi. Sasuke was a very reserved person, wasn't one to open up to people. Oh yes, something was defiantly going on between the blonde and the younger Uchiha, and Itachi felt it was his duty to find exactly what it was.

Another thing intrigued the elder Uchiha. Why the hell was Sasuke wearing orange?

Sorry, yeah, I don't know why this seems so short. It's six pages in Open Office O.o

Anyway, Itachi has entered! Ahh! Yeah! I've recently discovered Uchihacest, and I love it. But don't worry, it won't happen in this story. This story is strictly SasuNaru :3

So tell me what you think! I probably won't update until the end of the week, being as I actually have to write now O.O Damn. I've been putting it off since I started this story. I wrote the first six chapters before I even published the first one, so it'll be hard to write by a dead line. It won't be to hard though, I don't have anything else to do until school starts. Yes, I'm in school! *Gasp* So I'm not thirty. You would be surprised if I actually told you how old I really am. XD

Anyway, so again, sorry it's short, and tell me what you think!

Peace out,

~A Cannibalistic Skittle
