Disclaimer: Aww, guys, group hug! How cool is it to say that I can only do this... -hug- because that is all I can possibly do because, well, I don't own you. -sniffle-

Tissues, please?

A/N: Sweet Sebastian Baka! Another cram session of chappies in a day? WOW, I'm good. ;3

Sasuke: Work diligently this time. I don't want another half-ass story. -glares-

Naruto: But, also, don't forget to have fun... ? -sweat drop-

HeartX: Aww, I just love you guys. It's like Sasu's the daddy, and Naru's the mommy... aww!

Naruto: -hops into "daddy's" arms- Hehe...

HeartX: Whelp anyway, onto the dramatic scene of this story your honorable readers! -presses huge play button-

Chapter 6: Will Our Resolution will last?

After shaking off the sensation able feeling, Naruto got down to the drilling questions.

"So, why didn't you tell me this before? On the first day that I walked out." Naruto sat down cross-legged on the ground in front of Sasuke, who's head was buried deep within his knees and elbows. The shame is nothing compared to losing your love.

Sasuke just muttered from his knees his replies.

"Well... it was kind of hard to explain a sort of thing. Plus it was humiliating to do so." Hm, Sasuke asked in a somewhat calm voice about this. I guess we know when the jig is up. Bad for Sasuke it happened pretty late in the game.

Damn you Uchiha pride! Damn you...

"So you waited all this time, willing to let me leave you, because you were embarrassed over something like that?" Naruto rubbed his temple, becoming frustrated with this boy. Sasuke merely nodded – Oh, the pain that was about to come his way...

Finally pulling his head up to where only his drowsy, cobalt eyes were shown, all he saw was Naruto get up from where he was sitting, and just stand there in place.

"You know what teme, this is a hell of a lot that either one of us could have barged for... " With that Naruto retreated to the living room. He took off his orange jacket and set it on one of the rocking chairs, while he sat on the curved blackened couch with a sigh.

Sasuke was, once again, confused. Wow, how many times has he been confused today than in his entire life? Ugh, this people...

But anyway, Sasuke stared at where Naruto settled himself at. No more yelling? No more hitting? Is it over? From the aura he sensed around Naruto, the fight was still in commotion. Although, it seemed to calm down a little. Phew...

Sasuke finally crawled from his position by the door and walked into the kitchen. He grabbed two glasses from the dish rack and filled them both with crystal water. Slowly we walked into the living room of his and place one of the glasses on the coffee table, and held the other in his hand, taking promising sips from it now and again when things began to tense up.

Naruto opened his closed eyes and looked at the newly found glass. He looked at it like it was a last line of defense from Sasuke to apologize. But, his tongue was still pulsing from all that screaming before, so he took the glass and drank a bit from it.

After Sasuke was done fidgeting, he put the glass in his lap, keeping a hand there just in case it were to have fallen. He rested his head on the other one and turned his body to Naruto. Sasuke did his best to keep his stoic mask in place, as it was suppose to be.

"You still pissed?" Sasuke calmly questioned. Naruto sighed as he rested his head on the back of the couch.

"Yeah, pretty much." Naruto took another sip of water. Before putting it back on the table, he brought it up to his face and stared at the water. Sasuke could obviously tell that Naruto was thinking... and wasn't done ranting.

"... I hope you know that we almost lost what we had because of your pride. You know right?" Naruto twirled the glass in his palm. Sasuke watched that glass dance in the other's hand, becoming a bit envious.

"Yeah, and I can only say I'm sorry... and hope you forgive me." Naruto chuckled.

"Not until you admit, Uchiha pride pretty troublesome." He smirked at the demand and faced Sasuke's semi-annoyed face.

Admit... his pride was wrong? What kind of request is that?! No fucking way. This was only one incident, and now Naruto was going to make him admit that his entire being is wrong? Sasuke is built on pride. Taking that away... all you have is a spineless, mindless, Uchiha puddle in the cave of constriction. No... way.

Sasuke looked away from Naruto's face, and down at the glass in his lap. Realizing it was half empty, he got up and went into the kitchen to take his time refilling it.

"Tell me that it's troublesome Sasuke." Naruto bluntly demanded while hanging over the back of the couch, glass in hand.

Sasuke chose silence as his answer.

"The only way we can guarantee our devotion, one of us must admit that they were wrong. That's how it goes Sasuke."

"Then why don't you start. I mean, you employ on this nagging rule so much, why don't you admit you were wrong in your assumption of me cheating dobe. Start with how you became a jealous freak because of that, which was admitted not to be a fact." Sasuke said almost loudly. He took another drink of his water until that became empty.

Naruto walked from around the couch and stepped at Sasuke, pretty annoyed at this point.

"... and if I don't?"

"Then I suppose we are never getting back together." Sasuke carelessly threw this reply into Naruto's quivering face. Again, he refilled his glass and drank the water all over again.

"You mean, we won't be able... to love each other anymore?" Naruto's eyes became a watery mess, but he refused to let one tear fall again.

With Sasuke's 3rd glass gone, he set it on the counter and gently held Naruto's shoulders so that he'd be facing him.

"No, I'm saying... how can we be together if we don't trust one another?" Sasuke's eyes became soft and he gazed into Naruto's threatening-teared ones. Sasuke trailed one of his hands up the back of Naruto's neck, softly playing with the ends of his hair, hoping that his consoling was working a little just so that they can both put this scenario behind them.

"Sasuke... ?"

"Yes?"

Naruto sighed silently, "That's true. But you have to swear to me... that that masturbation thing was true..." Naruto stepped back a little and held out his pinky.

"You swear, Uchiha Sasuke?" Naruto's face held hope. Not a smile, not tears, but hope. How could Sasuke just lie right to that face?

"I swear to you, Uzumaki Naruto, that my confession was true." Sasuke held out one of his pinky's gripped Naruto's and shook their hands. A nod was also added.

A second it stood silent in the midst of the atmospheric air. But it couldn't last longer than that...

"Uhm, excuse me." Sasuke walked around the corner of the kitchen. Naruto was worried a bit because he seemed rushed.

"What's wrong?"

"The water is begging to get out. Bathroom." Sasuke said as he shut the door to the bathroom down the hall, leaving Naruto with an amused smile.

Naruto was left by himself. And now that the two were on, manageable terms, he thought the only thing possible to do was sit, sleep, or read a book. Whelp, two of his options were ruled out, which left one.

Naruto took his orange jacket and bundled it up into a little pillow for him to lay on. No longer than did Naruto's head hit the pillow-like figure, he was fast asleep. Not like it was unnatural for him, his mind had been racing for the past day so he needed the rest. Laying on his back, Naruto's breath became calm and steady as one of his hands reached over his head, and the other settling near his face.

When Sasuke washed his hands, he left the forgotten bathroom to meet with a sleeping beauty on his couch. How odd, yet beautiful at the same time.

Sasuke walked stealthy to the edge of the couch where Naruto's face was found. He crouched and sat to enjoy the view. Sasuke let one of his hands caress one of those whiskered cheeks as gently as possible. He would have taken things, maybe a little further, but he remembered...

Him and Naruto were still on fragile ground. Sasuke didn't want to mess up his chances now with a plain, and simple seducing.

As his fingers laced Naruto's cold cheek in warmth, Sasuke wondered – will him and Naruto ever be the same? Has this relationship turned into their old friendship again?

Sasuke hoped to his soul that their past wouldn't be repeated now, and forget everything they once shared.

A/N: -does a little dance- Oh yes! I did it! Again! Haha!

Naruto: I'm happy now, the story is turning... kinda'. Well, I hope it is!

Sasuke: You're not the only one.

HeartX: Yeah, -sigh-

Naruto: What's wrong HeartX?

HeartX: Oh Naruto, I have bad news. -hugs- I won't have my computer for awhile, so that means I won't be able to continue writing this story. -sniffle-

Sasuke: What? You can't just leave us like this?

HeartX: I know Sasuke, -hugs- but I just hope my computer isn't gone for long. We just gotta' hope, huh?

Naruto/Sasuke/HeartX: -group hug-

Naruto: We hope you'll be back soon HeartX!

HeartX: Thankies Naruto, Sasuke. Until the next time I get my computer back babies! -waves sadly-

-tosses panda cookies to all readers, and extras to reviewers- Hehe...
