Sorry, this chapter's a little short.

Taking Chances Chapter 2:

Sasuke tiredly walked back from the bus stop to his house.

He opened the wooden front door with his spare key. The faint smell of coffee danced across his nose as he took his first step in.

"How was your day, Sasuke?" His foster-dad, Orochimaru, asked him cheerfully from the living room couch. The older man had a freshly brewed mug of coffee sitting on the coffee table and his eyes were almost glued to the text of his much loved College Chemistry book.

Sasuke ignored Orochimaru and started up the stairs to his bedroom. Orochimaru disregarded Sasuke's introverted behavior and returned to his reading.

Upstairs, Sasuke glanced into his brother's room. Itachi's large queen-size bed was neatly made, and his desk totally cleared, except for a black metal lamp that was never used. Would Itachi ever even use his bedroom? Everything there, the bed, the desk, even the carpet, remained untouched by Itachi's hands. Ever since both of Sasuke's parents died in an accident and the Uchiha brothers moved to Orochimaru's house, Itachi had never shown his face. Sasuke shrugged his brother's absence off and headed to his bedroom. It wasn't like he missed the jerk or anything.

Once in his secluded, dark bedroom, Sasuke plopped his backpack on the carpet and lay on his bed. Then, he let the thoughts of Naruto slowly, sweetly, painfully fill his mind.

He wanted Naruto. Sasuke wanted him so bad, he felt it was unnatural. He wanted Naruto's heart, his face with his deep blue eyes, tanned skin, blonde hair, and lips.

Naruto's lips… Sasuke thought.

Lying on his bed, Sasuke brought his index and middle finger to his own lips and imagined Naruto's against his. Closing his eyes, Sasuke gently kissed his finger, imagining it being Naruto who was hovering over him planting a tanned sweet kiss on Sasuke's pale lips.

This was the moment that Sasuke came to realization on what he was actually doing. His hand shot away from his mouth.

"What the hell?" He muttered to himself.

Naruto liked Sakura. There was no way that that would ever happen. But still, it was all Sasuke yearned for.

A one-sided love is surely a wonderfully agonizing one.
