Age seven

"Sasuke? Are you alright? Do you need to go to the nurse's office?" A kind looking man stood beside the raven with his head down on the desk. Sasuke looked up at him and sat up and sighed. "No, I'm alright Iruka sensei. I just couldn't sleep well last night is all."

The man smiled and patted him on the back. "Alright then. But try to stay awake for the next lesson. It's break time anyway, so you can sleep if you'd like." He smiled down at the younger boy and went to his desk to continue to grade papers.

After five minutes, there was a knock at the door that woke the raven up from his slumber. His back was hurting so he flinched. The night before, he had accidentally ran into his father and the man kicked him, leaving a bruise that ran down his back and across his side.

"Oh, alright thank you!" Sasuke looked up to see Iruka speaking with the principal with a smile on his face. "Everyone, calm down, we have a new student." All the kids stopped what they were doing and looked at the door waiting for someone to walk through it.

"It's alright, you can come in. Don't be shy now." Slowly, a young boy walked in with his head down holding onto the straps of his book bag like a life line. "Class, this is your new class mate. Care to introduce yourself little one?"

Cautiously, bright blue eyes looked up and instantly filled with fear as everyone looked at him. He tried to look around as his breathing began to get heavy.

Sasuke looked at the boy. He looked like a dear caught in head lights as he began to tremble. Sasuke felt something as the boy began to bite his lip in fear. 'go talk to him. He looks like he's about to cry.' Sasuke looked at the boy closer and noticed a bruise peeking out from under his shirt collar. 'Shido, you think he lives like me?' The being inside the raven remained silent for moment. 'well, there's only one way to find out.'

The raven sighed again and walked up to the room and stood in front of the boy. "My name's Sasuke, what's yours?" The boy looked at the raven in surprise. "I'm…uh…my name's, Naruto." His voice was almost a whisper.

"You shouldn't be nervous. Come on, you can sit with me." He grabbed the blonde by the hand and led him away as everyone else went back to what they were doing. Iruka was surprised by the action. Sasuke had never before interacted on his own with another student. It was strange, but he guessed the raven was just growing up.

"You can put your stuff there." The raven stood in front of the two desks as the blonde slowly put his bag down and flinching slightly as he took it off his shoulders. He kept his gaze down at the desk's top and kept quiet.

Sasuke watched as the boy messed with some of his school supplies inside the bag. After a good few minutes, Sasuke decided to ask. "So, do they hurt?" Naruto looked up into the raven's eyes. A questioning gaze lingered between the two. "W-what do you mean?" His voice came out slightly raspy.

The young raven looked around the room, then back to the blonde. He grabbed the boy's hand and walked up to Iruka. "Iruka-sensei, Naruto needs to go the rest room, is it alright if I go with him to show him where it is?" The older man looked at the two and smiled. "Why of course you can Sasuke. It's very nice of you to be helping our new student." Iruka gave them a pass and they left the room.

Sasuke still held Naruto's hand as they walked to the bathroom, but was oblivious to it. As for Naruto, he couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed of being led by the hand.

When they reached the bathroom, Sasuke finally noticed his connection with the blonde and immediately let go. "Sorry." He sighed and sat on the floor and motioned Naruto over. When the blonde was seated, Sasuke sighed. "So, do they hurt?" It was the same question as before.

Naruto sadly smiled and subconsciously put his hand on his shoulder. "Not as much as they did yesterday." Sasuke scooted closer to the blonde and looked at the bruises. He lightly moved Naruto's hand from the shoulder and looked closer.

"It's new. You got this one this morning I'm guessing right?" Naruto gasped. "How did you know?" The raven smirked and pulled up his long sleeved shirt up to his elbow. A light purple hand print wrapping around his small forearm was visible. "This is what they look like when they're a day old. I got it last night."

Naruto looked at the raven in the eyes and smiled. "I guess we're similar huh?" Sasuke rolled his sleeve back down and looked up. "We should go back to the room. We've been here a little long. Come on." The raven got up and extended a small hand to Naruto who took it happily. "Thank you, Sasuke."

Both boys walked back to the class room hand in hand. "I'm glad I met you Sasuke, I guess this makes us friends right?" A sparkle of hope made its self clear in his ocean blue eyes. Sasuke couldn't help a smile form on his face for the first time in years.

"Yeah, we're friend, Naruto." Naruto smiled and lightly giggled, he leaned over and pecked the raven on the cheek with a light blush on his face. Sasuke stopped and brought a hand to where Naruto had kissed and blushed. "N-Naruto.." The blonde looked u at the raven with an even bigger blush. "I-I've seen people do it when they like someone and are friends and they say thank you after it and and-I uh.." As Naruto kept stumbling, Sasuke put a finger to his small lips and smiled. "I like you too, and thank you Naruto." Sasuke pulled Naruto into a light hug as they proceeded to go to the class room. 'So, we have friend now huh? He seems nice. I'm glad. Now we wont be alone in this place.'

Sasuke agreed as the blonde stopped walking looking down. "Naruto, what is it?" The blonde couldn't help the tear that rolled down his face. "S-Sasuke. You're my first friend and I'm scared." The raven went to the blonde who had crouched down on the floor. "There's nothing to be scared of Naruto. You're my first friend too, so we'll probably be friends forever since…well…you know." The blonde cleared his eyes and looked at Sasuke. "Really? You promise?" Sasuke bit his bottom lip and nodded. He grabbed one of Naruto's hand and lightly kissed the back of his hand. "I promise."
