Oh and the song from last chapter was You're Not Alone by Saosin. Forgot to mention that. Enjoooooyyy!
I own nothing, we all know.
One Week Day 4
Sasuke was surprised to find Naruto missing from the bed then next morning.
"I thought for sure Naruto would have some back sometime last night," Sasuke thought. He walked into the living room to see Naruto curled up on the couch. He was asleep still so Sasuke decided to take a shower.
After he finished, he went to eat breakfast noticing the dirty dishes in the sink and the noise of the bathroom door closing.
"What? The Dobe's going to avoid me?" Sasuke thought, "Guess I'm going to have to apologize." Sasuke sighed; he wasn't good at this stuff.
Sasuke went back into the bedroom, knowing that is he stayed out there; Naruto would lock himself in the bathroom all day.
A little while later, Sasuke came out of the bedroom and went into the living room. He saw Naruto once again curled up on the couch, wrapped in a blanket.
Sasuke began to feel bad, "Did I hurt him that much?" he wondered.
"Hey Naru-" he began,
"Go away Sasuke!" Sasuke yelled at him, Sasuke could tell he had been crying, "I don't want your stupid pity or your fake apologies, just go away!"
"Looks like I'm going to have to kick it up a notch," Sasuke thought and retreated back to the bedroom to think up a plan.
-Break-
Sasuke hadn't left the kitchen most of the day. Not for a second. Since all Naruto had eaten today was a bowl of cereal for breakfast, Sasuke knew he'd be hungry.
"Time to put my plan into action," Sasuke thought. He got up from his seat at the table and started cooking (or whatever) the ramen Naruto had foolishly left in the kitchen. "This should lure him out," Sasuke thought deviously.
Sure enough, after Sasuke placed the ramen on the table and sat down Naruto came creeping into the kitchen. Sasuke pretended not to notice and started to eat the ramen.
"Are you trying to apologize or torture me?" he asked.
Sasuke smirked, "Had to get your attention some way," he said, putting down the chopsticks and pushing the bowl towards Naruto. Naruto sat own and started to eat, but with less vigor than usual.
"…thanks," he said after awhile.
"I was hoping to hear 'I forgive you'" Sasuke said quietly.
Naruto gave him an annoyed look, "You never said sorry. How can I?"
"I thought doing this was saying sorry," Sasuke said, "I'm not good at this sort of thing," he admitted.
"You don't have to say it if it's hard," Naruto said, "I know you're sorry."
Sasuke picked up Naruto's finished bowl of ramen and walked to the sink, "No," he said his back to Naruto, "I have to say it. You're my-my friend Naruto and I owe you an apology."
Naruto stayed silent and Sasuke walked to the table and sat down grabbing Naruto's hands, the blonde looked away blushing slightly.
"Please look at me," Sasuke said.
"Why is he being to me so…intimate?" Naruto wondered, turning to look at the raven.
"Just holding his hand like this feels so right," Sasuke thought, "Well, if we're going to be something, friends are better than nothing."
"Naruto, I'm sorry I hurt you," Sasuke began, "You were right when you said I was alone…"
"Sasuke, you don't-" Naruto started.
"Yes, I have to do this Naruto. Just let me." Sasuke said and Naruto was silent.
"Anyways, I'm alone, but I choose to be. I can't risk getting emotional with people when I have to kill my brother," Sasuke explained.
"But Sasuke we can help-" Naruto said.
"You don't understand Naruto, I have to kill Itachi on my own," Sasuke said, closing his eyes.
"Yes I know, but…I can-I will help you get there, of you let me," Naruto said smiling.
"Ok Dobe, whatever you like," Sasuke said tiredly, not currently feeling like arguing with Naruto, "Let's go to bed, this apologizing thing is tiring." Sasuke got up and started walking to the bedroom, but he stopped and turned around.
"What?" Naruto asked cutely, standing in front of Sasuke.
Sasuke reached out and hugged Naruto, he was nervous and trembling slightly, but hopefully Naruto didn't notice. "Thank you Naruto," he said, "But sometimes I think you're too forgiving for your own good."
"Yeah, yeah, I've heard that before," Naruto said, retuning the hug briefly, "Let's go to bed. This listening to you apologize thing is tiring."
After getting ready for bed and whatnot
"Goodnight Sasuke."
"Goodnight…Dobe."
"I love you." (That was Sasuke)
One Week Day 5
Naruto woke up to the sound of raining hitting the windows. Sasuke woke a few seconds later.
"Looks like a storm is coming," Naruto noted looking out the window.
"Yeah…"Sasuke agreed.
-Break-
The rest of the day went on like normal for the two boys, except the rain, that is until after dinner.
CRACK FLASH FIZZ (Shut up Falon)
"Dammit," groaned Sasuke.
"What happened?" asked Naruto.
"The power went out Dobe," Sasuke said searching around in the dark, "Oh I know! I can use my-oh that's right Kakashi took out jutsus."
"I'll go see if I can find some matches," Naruto said feeling his way to the kitchen. On his way, Naruto passed Sasuke and accidentally groped his ass.
"What the hell?" Sasuke said blushing, but it was dark so Naruto didn't see.
"Oh god, Sasuke I'm sorry," Naruto said also turning red.
"It's okay, just go get the matches," Sasuke said, "And hurry or I'll ravish you here and now."
Naruto made his way into the kitchen and found the matches. "Here Sasuke, I got 'em" Naruto said finding Sasuke and handing over the matches.
"Thanks," Sasuke said, "Good thing there were already logs in the fireplace." Sasuke was still fighting the urge to pound Naruto into the couch…or floor, or wall, or table… "No! Stop it Sasuke, if I do anything it will ruin everything we've gained," he told himself.
Sasuke started the fire and Naruto got some blankets, they both sat at opposite ends of the couch. Both boys wanted to get closer, but neither would actually do it.
There was another crack of thunder and Naruto flinched.
Sasuke smirked, "You afraid Dobe?" asked Sasuke teasingly.
"No…" Naruto pouted.
"He is so cute," Sasuke thought mentally sighing. Sasuke glanced at his walkman on the coffee table and got an idea.
"Hey Naruto, you know how you like the song You're Not alone?" Sasuke asked.
"Yeah, it's one of my favorites," Naruto replied.
"I wanted to show you one of my favorites," Sasuke said, putting in a CD and giving Naruto an ear bud.
Somewhere there's
speaking
It's already coming in
Oh and it's rising at the back
of your mind
You never could get it
Unless you were fed it
Now
you're here and you don't know why
But under skinned knees
and the skid marks
Past the places where you used to learn
You
howl and listen
Listen and wait for the
Echoes of angels who
won't return
He's everything you want
He's everything
you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could
be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But
he means nothing to you
And you don't know why
You're
waiting for someone
To put you together
You're waiting for
someone to push you away
There's always another wound to
discover
There's always something more you wish he'd say
He's
everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything
inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right
things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to
you
And you don't know why
But you'll just sit tight
And
watch it unwind
It's only what you're asking for
And you'll be
just fine
With all of your time
It's only what you're waiting
for
Out of the island
Into the highway
Past the places
where you might have turned
You never did notice
But you still
hide away
The anger of angels who won't return
He's
everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything
inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right
things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to
you
And you don't know why
I am everything you want
I
am everything you need
I am everything inside of you
That you
wish you could be
I say all the right things
At exactly the
right time
But I mean nothing to you and I don't know why
And I
don't know why
Why
I don't know
When the song ended Sasuke glanced at Naruto, who was smiling slightly.
"I never heard that song before, I like it," Naruto said, grinning at Sasuke.
"I hoped you would," Sasuke said, "Naruto I-"
CRACK
The large clap of thunder made Naruto jump and Sasuke looked at Naruto.
"Come here Dobe," Sasuke said patting the spot next to him.
Naruto reluctantly scooted next to Sasuke and the raven covered them with a blanket. He decided to go out on a limb and wrapped his arms around the blonde.
"Sasuke…?" Naruto asked slightly confused at Sasuke's behavior.
"Shhh…" Sasuke whispered and Naruto threw caution to the wind and leaned against Sasuke.
"Sasuke, I think I love you," Naruto thought, but he didn't dare say it out loud.
-Break-
A couple of hours later, Naruto had fallen asleep in Sasuke's arms. Sasuke sighed, "What am I going to do with you?" he asked. He carefully picked Naruto up bridal style and carried him to the bedroom. Once there he stripped Naruto down to his boxers trying not the rape the blonde in the process.
"You're so childish," Sasuke thought, "I knew I'd end up taking care of you," Sasuke leaned over Naruto and kissed him on the forehead, "I love you," he thought, undressing and laying down next to the blonde, "So much."
Well, that's it hoped you enjoyed the chapter, until next time. And uh…review.
