The following week wasn't exactly bad. The swimming lessons weren't that bad either… well, it wasn't exactly good either. But Sasuke did get better; his fear of water became better. He even gloated about it to Naruto, but nobody else. He would never tell any one else about his fear for the main ingredient in koo-laid.

But, the time was up; it was pool time with their friends. Sasuke, of course, was freaking out. Naruto tried to keep himself from laughing but he failed miserably. The raven would glare every time the blond would even chuckle. But Naruto would kiss him or seduce him to make him feel better, which Sasuke like very much.

But, it was time. Time to leave the safety of his home, or Naruto's, and head towards the water from hell. The raven wasn't as afraid as he used to be as long as he was at the shallow end. But when Kiba asked him to go to the deep end with him, Sasuke immediately went pale and declined so suddenly that it scared the dog boy to no end. It was funny though to watch him scamper off, terrified.

The blond laughed at that before grabbing the raven's wrist and pulling him off to the deeper side of the pool. The water went up to his mid-chest, but he was almost completely terrified to wits end. He thought he was about to faint when some one dunked him underwater. He sputtered and coughed when Naruto brought him back up, yelling at Kiba for his indecentness (if that's even a word).

But to make a long story short; it was horrible. Sasuke practically ran out screaming into the boy's locker room, the blond following shortly behind. The kitsun tried everything he could to calm him down, but nothing worked. So he finally had to kiss the raven to shut up his stuttering. This, of course, calmed him down.

"You ok?" Naruto asked, smiling gently. Sasuke sighed and nodded, blushing slightly. "It's ok to be afraid of the water; some people have the same fear, like I have a phobia with sleeping in big rooms (that's my phobia. I can't stand sleeping in big rooms)." He blushed after he said this.

"You, are afraid to sleep in big rooms?" Sasuke asked disbelievingly. "You're kidding right? That's even more ridiculous than my phobia. You're never afraid when we sleep in my room."

"That's because you're with me. Unless someone's with me then I can't stand to sleep in a big room." The blond blushed; looking to make sure no one else was in the shower room. "I'm also afraid of spiders."

The raven chuckled, shaking his head. "Well a lot of people are. That's perfectly normal; more normal than being afraid of big rooms." He laughed at the blond's weak glare.

"Well at least I'm not afraid of taking baths." The kitsun grumbled, crossing his arms. "I think we should leave. I don't want you having another panic attack." He quickly got up, chuckling before Sasuke could say anything else.


"So how'd it go?" Kyuubi asked from the kitchen when he saw Naruto and Sasuke enter and close the front door. Kyuubi had found out about Sasuke's fear and annoyed him about it to no end. He couldn't wait to hear what the redhead will say next.

"It was… ok, I guess. Not as disastrous as I thought it would be," the blond replied. He sighed before sitting down onto the couch, head on his hands.

"Really?"

"Yes-what are you doing? Why did you buy all that Fuze?"

Kyuubi was putting bottle upon bottle of Fuze into the fridge. There were different flavors and different colors that filled the fridge. It was like a Fuze madness in there. I didn't even know that my brother even liked Fuze.

"Because I like it better than soda."

"What's a Fuze?"

Naruto and Kyuubi turned to look at Sasuke with confused glances. "You don't know what a Fuze is?" The redhead sounded hurt. The raven shook his head.

"Is it some kind of energy drink?"

"Noooo. No way in hell is this an energy drink. It's like a healthy drink and it's almost like juice," the blond replied. "Here, try some." He handed the raven a purple bottle. On the side it said FUZE in big bold letters. It was blackberry grape flavored.

He took a quick gulp, swallowing it. It was sweet, but good. The raven looked at the nutrition facts seeing that it had no fat, 10mg of sodium, 150mg of potassium, 26mg of carbohydrate, 25g of sugar, and 0 protein. Then he looked at the vitamins;100 percent vitamin A, 150 percent vitamin C, 4 percent of calcium, and 100 percent of vitamin E. I guess you could call it healthy.

"You like?" Kyuubi and Naruto asked in usion.

"It's ok."

"If you like something more tart then you should try the tropical punch," the blond suggested. "I hate that stuff. I like mango peach better or even the blueberry stuff. Or even the dragon fruit lime."

"I'm not one for sweet or tart drinks, but this I'll think of reconsidering."

Naruto smiled at him, lovingly. He was so lucky to have a lover like him. He would care for anything else unless it was Sasuke. He would anything for his raven just to prove how much he loved him. And he knew that Sasuke would do the same for him, unless it had to deal with water.

END!


So what you think of it? Reviews! I must have reviews! Oh, how I hate rain. I'm kinda of irritated, I don't know why, but maybe because Cris was over. He was my older sister's boyfriend, but now… any way, me and my friends were playing ultimate frezbe and fell, getting myself dirty. Cris was there and he helped me brush off, but I told him I could do it and walked away from him.

I just don't like boys touching me, especially if they're over twenty. I don't mind Marc touching me though. trying not to think of perverted thoughts, but I don't want to have sex outside of marriage. Yech!

Oh! I'm writing a new story in my journal. It's of SasuNaru of course.
