Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. Though if I did, the show would be a romantic yaoi between Naruto and Sasuke.

Warning: OOC. Rated M. Just to be safe. I proofread the story but I'm afraid I might have accidently missed something. If so, I'll review my story and edit it once more.

Blind

"Mmm," Naruto grunted. He had such a pleasant sleep last night; he was really in no mood to be waking up at this hour. "5 more minutes…" Naruto grumbled, sleepily.

"Hn," Sasuke scowled as he glared down at the slumbering blonde.

He had been trying to wake up the Dobe for the past fifteen minutes but the blonde refused to get up. That's why he chose to ignore him and just got ready for school himself. He almost left but his mother marched him back up stairs to get Naruto ready before he was late for school. Why does his mother care so much for the Dobe anyway? He wondered.

The blonde stubbornly mumbled something incoherent and stirred himself face down on the mattress.

Well, if Naruto wouldn't wake up, he had no choice but to go to plan b. He grabbed the Dobe by the waist and flipped him back onto his back. Then, he swiftly slid a strong arm under the blonde's knee's and back, in order to pick him up bridal-style. He carried Naruto into the bathroom until he reached the shower and laid him down in the bathtub before turning the water faucets. Water instantly splashed the blonde and woke him with a sharp gasp.

Icy water soaked through his cloths and wet his hair. He shivered and glowered at the raven that stood beside him with a smug look plastered on his face.

Sasuke felt content by the reaction he had expected from the blonde. At least now Naruto was awake, and because he was in the shower anyway, he could have might as well take a shower and get ready for school since he was already wet.

"If you think I'm going to forgive you for this, bastard! You've got another thing coming." He shouted as he sat up and hugged himself.

Sasuke smirked arrogantly. "That's what you get for not waking up."

"S-So now it's m-my fault," Naruto said through chattering teeth before pouting up at him.

Naruto's bottom lip trembled cutely. Sasuke instantly wanted to kiss the blonde because of how cute he looked with his damp hair, innocent blue eyes, and the wet clothes that stuck to his thin figure. Naruto was really… "Cute," He said aloud.

Naruto shot a fiery glare at comment. He hated being called cute. He was not cute, he was manly! He brought his knees to his chest and hugged himself more.

"Okay, Dobe, I'll warm the shower up for you." Sasuke extended his hand and turned the water faucets in order to warm up the freezing water. "Give me your clothes so I can put them in the laundry," Sasuke ordered.

The request made Naruto flush scarlet. "You'll see me naked, no way!" Naruto refused.

"I won't see you naked if you close the shower curtains and hand them to me, idiot," he said in a matter- of-fact-ly kind of way.

"Fine," Naruto said, happy that the shower was now warm. He stood and closed the curtains before undressing himself. "Here," He said, poking his hand through the shower curtains and handing him his clothes.

Sasuke took them and started toward the door. "Naruto, call me once your done. Your clothes are in your bag correct?"

"Yeah, just get them ready for me. Thanks Sasuke." He replied.

Sasuke "Hn'd" before he walked out and shut the door. ***

"Sasuke, I'm finished." Naruto mumbled as he came out through the bathroom door. He had a towel wrapped around his waist that he hung onto tightly.

"Okay, here are your cloths." He said, before throwing Naruto's boxers to his face.

Naruto grabbed them and shot him a glare before heading back in, putting them on quickly, and getting back out.

Sasuke quickly handed him his school uniform and hurried him. They only had 15 minutes to get to class on time.

Naruto quickly stepped into his pants and pulled them up after putting on his shirt. He struggled with the belt as Sasuke kept hurrying him up. "Damn it!" Naruto growled in frustration.

"Here, just put on the jacket and tie, idiot." Sasuke urged, handing him the clothes while he worked with his belt. He realized he had to take Naruto's belt back off when the blonde put it in wrong through the loops. "Don't you know how to put on a belt, Dobe?" He scowled as he bent down in front of him.

"Shut up. Stop hurrying me and maybe I'll put things on right!" Naruto retorted.

Once Sasuke finished with his belt, he stood and grabbed Naruto's school bag from the bed and swung his around his shoulder before handing Naruto his bag.

"Wait Sasuke, help me with my tie! It's stuck." He murmured.

Sasuke sighed exasperated before untying however Naruto tied his tie and put it on right. "You're such an idiot." Sasuke scolded. It took a few seconds to fix until he finished. "Okay, let's go!" He grabbed Naruto's arm and pulled him down the stairs.

"What? No breakfast?" Mikoto asked as she saw her son and Naruto rush past the kitchen.

"No, we can't be late!" Sasuke scowled and pulled Naruto out the door before the blonde could say anything.

"Okay Sasuke! Stop pulling my arm. We still have 10 minutes and the school's not that far." Naruto complained.

Sasuke let go as they continued to walk at a fast pace.

"Hey! Naruto," Someone called from behind them.

Sasuke stopped walking when Naruto turned around to see who it was.

"Gaara, oh my god, what're you doing here!? Aren't you suppose to be in Seattle?!" Naruto greeted.

Sasuke watched as Naruto ran and pounced on the red head. Who is he? He wondered.

"What? I can't visit my cute, adorable blonde?" Gaara teased, embracing him as well.

Naruto pulled away and pouted at the remark. "I'm not cute."

"Or so you think." Gaara smirked.

Naruto shot him an odd look before turning around and grabbing Sasuke's arm. "This is Sasuke. I met him when I first moved here but we've only just became friends," he introduced.

"I've heard of you, Uchiha." Gaara glared.

Naruto was taken aback by the way Gaara referred to him.

"Hn," Sasuke scowled. How the hell does he know my name? He thought, utterly confused.

"Anyway, Naruto, I'm afraid I've got some bad news. Although, it's probably best if we talk about this in a more private area." Gaara informed; his façade now serious and stern.

"Why, what happened?" Naruto wondered. He suddenly felt timid by the way Gaara looked at him. He took a small step back and accidently bumped into Sasuke.

"It's about the car accident that killed your mom. Naruto, it was murder," He stated bluntly.

Naruto's eyes widened a fraction.

"It was the Akatsuki. I can't tell you any further information until we're in a private area." Gaara informed. "I'm sorry, Naruto."

Naruto remained silent in a state of shock. The Akatsuki…? Why would they do such a thing?

Sasuke forwarded his eyebrows. "We've gotta go. Class starts in five minutes."

Gaara gave him a short nod and remained motionless as he watched Sasuke grab Naruto's arm and pull him away. He watched their retreating backs until they were out of sight, then left to inform Naruto's father about what has happened. ***

Both Sasuke and Naruto made it to their class in time. They sat in their assigned seats and watched as the hours passed by slowly. Naruto struggled to maintain his posture through an entire lesson while the raven struggled to sustain his focus throughout the entire lecture for their next assignment. Although one seemed more stable than the other, inside, their emotions overtook their thoughts.

My brother is in the Akatsuki. Why would his gang murder Naruto's mother? He wondered. Unless-! Sasuke's eyes widened when he realized what the Akatsuki's full intentions were.

Poor Naruto felt like he was about ready to cry. He couldn't accept the fact that his mother had been murdered because of him. The Akatsuki wanted him dead and they ended up killing his mother instead. But what he couldn't understand is why the Akatsuki was still after him. Last he saw them was when he was six years old. He managed to get away from them when he was held captive. That's it though. Ever since then he hadn't heard from them until today.

"Damn it!" Naruto whimpered. His eyes burned and he felt like he was at the verge of tears.

"Do you have something to say Mr. Uzumaki?" The professor asked irately for having interrupted his lesson.

Naruto remained immobile. Not having noticed that the professor had spoken to him.

"Uh- It's my fault sensei! Sorry, I asked him if he understood what you said but- can you repeat what you said? What's closely related to human anatomy, again?" A brunette covered. He had witnessed the blonde's far off look and wondered what was wrong with his friend.

"Right Kiba, listen up! I don't like to repeat myself! In some of its facets human anatomy is closely related to embryology, comparative anatomy, and comparative embryology through common roots in evolution…" The professor repeated.

Sasuke mentally sighed when Kiba defended him. He'd have to thank him for that later.

"… Much of the human body maintains the ancient segmental pattern that is present in all vertebrates with basic units being repeated, which is particularly obvious in the vertebral column and in the ribcage, and can be traced from very early embryos. The human body-"

The bell signifying class was now over interrupted the professor's words before he could finish his lecture and made him mumble something incoherent.

"Okay class, we'll continue this tomorrow." He dismissed.

Sasuke quickly packed-up his things and made his way over to Naruto. He saw Kiba reaching out to him but stopped him before he could. "Kiba, hold on a sec."

Kiba froze and looked over at Sasuke. He was about to nudge Naruto on the shoulder but dropped his arm back to his side when the Uchiha called out to him. "What's wrong with Naruto?"

Sasuke sighed once he stood beside the blonde. "It's a long story but thanks for covering for him."

"Yeah, no problem but seriously, is he going to be okay?"

"I'm not sure. Come on Naruto, let's go!" Sasuke ordered.

Kiba didn't understand what the raven meant by that but nodded anyway. "I'll talk to you when I get the chance pal. Hope you feel better." He told Naruto.

Naruto emitted a soft whimper as a reply.

Kiba waited for anything else but when the blonde didn't say anything, he nodded and sadly walked away.

"Come on Naruto, let's go." Sasuke repeated. He grabbed Naruto's things and swung it over his shoulder before grabbing Naruto's arm and pulling him towards the exit. ***

"Naruto," Sasuke growled. He had dragged the blonde all the way back to his house and to his room. His mother had asked him what was wrong when he came through the door but he had ignored her. "Why is the Akatsuki after you!?"

Naruto glared at Sasuke and unhanded his wrist. "What? You think I know, bastard!?"

Sasuke grabbed Naruto by the arm and pushed him onto his bed before crawling on top of him. "My brother is in that gang. Why is he after you!?"

Naruto's eyes widened with bewilderment. Sasuke has a brother?! "I-I don't know! It happened 11 years ago!" Naruto argued, trying to push the raven off of him. Sasuke didn't budge though.

"You have to know!" Sasuke growled. "My brother would only be after you if he had a good reason. You must've done something, anything!"

Naruto squeezed his eyes shut and turned his head away from Sasuke's gaze when he continued to yell at him.

It was a long time ago. He had gotten lost and Gaara seemed frightened. They were hiding right in front of an alleyway behind a bush. There were people arguing. It was a long time ago, he couldn't remember.

"Naruto," Sasuke shouted.

"Stop yelling at me! I was six years old, I don't remember!" Naruto screamed. His blue eyes looked up into obsidian. It was true… He was six years old and because of his foolishness he got his mom killed. "My- My mother was killed because of me." Naruto whimpered. "I don't even know why…"

Sasuke's gaze softened when tears slid down Naruto's cheeks. He leaned his head into the crook of Naruto's neck before whispering an apology.

Sasuke's brother betrayed their family long ago because of the Akatsuki. Itachi put himself in such a life threatening position that he thought he was dead. He hadn't heard from him until today. ***

Naruto had cried himself to sleep that afternoon. Sasuke was now sitting on his desk, reading a book, and waiting for Naruto to wake up. He flipped on to the next page of book and looked up when he heard the door open. It was his mom.

"Sasuke," She whispered. "I wanted to see if everything was okay. I heard Naruto's cries from down stairs but I decided to give you both some space. Is everything alright?"

"It's okay Mother. Have a seat; I think you should know something."

Mikoto nodded and went to sit on the foot of her son's bed. She smiled kindly at Naruto who peacefully slept in his room. "What is it Sasuke?"

"Itachi and the Akatsuki murdered Naruto's mother." Mikoto gasped sharply from the unexpected news. "They tried to kill Naruto as well but they failed. It was due to a car crash that his mother died. We don't know any further information but all I know is that they are after him. They want Naruto dead."

"W-Well what should we do!?" Mikoto panicked.

"We must let father know that Itachi is still alive." Sasuke scowled.

Mikoto nodded before exiting the room and shutting the door behind her.

With that, Sasuke continued to read his book. ***

7:00 pm.

Naruto woke up tiredly and wondered where he was. It took him a bit to realize he was in Sasuke's room and that he had fallen asleep after what happened. He had hoped it was all a dream but sadly, it wasn't.

"Glad to see you're awake."

Naruto jumped, not having noticed Sasuke at his desk. He watched as Sasuke came over to him and ran a hand through his blonde locks.

"How are you feeling?"

Naruto sighed before replying bluntly, "Like I wanna die."

Sasuke chuckled at the response. "I'm not surprised. I'm sorry about what happened to your mom." He said kindly, landing a reassuring hand onto his shoulder.

"Don't be," Naruto huffed. "I don't want you being nice to me because you feel bad for me."

"Hn," Sasuke smirked. "It's okay Dobe. I don't mind being nice to you every once in a while."

"You should be nice to me all the time, Teme." Naruto pouted.

"No fun." Sasuke shot back. "You should feel flattered. I'm nicer to you than anyone."

Naruto averted his gaze. "Wow… I feel special." He said sarcastically.

Sasuke smirked, "You hungry?"

Naruto shook his head. "I just want to go to sleep. I'm not in the mood for anything." He admitted.

Sasuke nodded. "In that case, I'll tell my Mother to bring you some ramen at least."

"Bastard, I'm not hungry."

Sasuke frowned. "I don't care. You haven't eaten anything since this morning!"

Naruto stood up and glared at him before he headed off toward the bathroom and shut the door.

Sasuke mentally sighed and shook his head. It didn't take long for Naruto to come back out. Though this time, the blonde came out in only his boxers. His other clothes were dumped on the bathroom floor.

"Goodnight, bastard, I'm going to sleep." He said, while crawling onto Sasuke bed and snuggling under the bed sheets.

Sasuke ignored him and went inside the bathroom as well. He brushed his teeth and got ready for bed. He had already been wearing his banana pajamas so he didn't have to get dressed. When he saw the mess of Naruto's clothes, he rolled his eyes and decided he'd let Naruto pick those up tomorrow in the morning.

Naruto smiled after Sasuke turned off all the lights and crawled into bed with him. "Thanks, Sasuke." Naruto uttered before nuzzling into his chest. "You know… I forgot to do my homework." Naruto remembered.

"Okay, get up! Time to do some physics homework!" Sasuke announced as he pulled away from the blonde and turned on the lights.

"No." Naruto pouted. "I said I was tired."

"Naruto get up! Despite everything, you certainly can't slip in your classes. Get up!" Sasuke ordered when Naruto continued laying there.

"Okay! Fine! Stop yelling bastard." Naruto whined.

40 minutes later.

Naruto groaned exasperated. "Gah! I still don't get it. I give up!"

"And you never will with that kind of attitude," Sasuke declared. He chuckled when Naruto childishly pouted at the remark.

"Well, it's not important," he argued.

"What's not important?"

Naruto dropped his pencil on top of the desk, emitting a soft tap, and practically pulled out his hair in frustration. "It's not like I'm going to be using these complicated equations in real life!!!"

"Let's pretend like we do. Now, let's look over the question once more." Sasuke suggested.

What is the speed in miles per hour of a beam of light traveling at 3.00 x 10^8 m/s?
1 m/s=3.60 km/h = 3.28 ft/s =2.24 mi/h

"Naruto let me remind you that this is review. If you actually look at it, this physics question is fairly simple." Sasuke informed. "I'll step you through it, so pay attention!"

Naruto nodded before looking at the paper once again.

"Okay, take a look at the given speed." Sasuke said, while writing down the equation.

Given speed: 3 x 10^8 m/s
1m/s = 3.60 km/h = 3.28 ft/s =2.24 mi/h
1.61 km = 1 mile
"Now you must find the speed in mi/hr. Here is your solution." Sasuke explained while writing it down.

Solution:
= (3 x 10^8 m/s) x 3.6 km/h
= 10.8 x 10^8 km/h

"Now convert it to mi/hr, Naruto." Sasuke ordered.

Naruto nodded and took the pencil.

= (10.80 x 10^8 km/h) / 1.61
= 6.71 X 10^8 mi/h

"There you go! Not so hard, was it?" Sasuke asked, proudly.

Naruto rolled his eyes. "You basically did it for me." He said bluntly. "And sure, I guess."

"It's never complicated if you pay attention. You were taking forever, Dobe. At least you understand it."

"Whatever, let's go to bed now. I can't believe you got me out of bed to do physics homework. I might as well be eating ramen." Naruto complained, bouncing onto Sasuke's bed.

Sasuke fallowed suit after putting away Naruto's things and turning off the lights again.

"I'm probably going to run into Gaara tomorrow. He'll tell me where he wants to meet to inform me about what's going on with the Akatsuki. I'm not excited." Naruto confessed.

"Is that why you don't really want to do anything today?"

"Yep," Naruto mumbled, snuggling into the ravens arms. "Hey, Sasuke… did you ever have a girlfriend?"

Sasuke was a bit taken aback by the question. "Of course, believe it or not but I actually went out with Sakura Haruno."

"Are you talking about the girl with the pink hair?" Naruto wondered, looking up at Sasuke.

Sasuke looked down into beautiful azure eyes before replying. "Yeah… that's her."

"She's pretty. Why aren't you going out with her anymore?" Naruto asked.

"She wasn't exactly in love with me the way I thought she was. She was just obsessed. I didn't want to be with her anymore for that very reason." Sasuke confessed.

"How long did you guys last?"

"3 months."

"Did you guys ever kiss?"

"Yes."

"Do you still like her?"

"Yes, but not like that."

"Did you guys ever have sex?"

Sasuke chuckled and embraced the blonde tighter. "What's with all these random questions, Dobe?"

"I just find it hard to believe that you ever even talked to a girl." Naruto lied.

"Hn," Sasuke smirked. He shifted his knee and "accidentally" hit Naruto in the groin.

"Uh-" Naruto groaned, feeling a sudden rush of pain in between his legs. "Sasuke- Bastard! You hit my balls." Naruto gritted out.

"I didn't hit you too hard, idiot." Sasuke uttered, keeping his knee in between Naruto's legs.

"Damn it, Sasuke." Naruto cursed. "Don't hit me there again." He said, nuzzling back into the ravens chest. "So did you?" Naruto asked once again.

"Naruto, I'm not a virgin. She wasn't the one I lost my virginity to if that's what you're asking."

"So blunt," Naruto spat.

"Well, what about you?" Sasuke asked curiously.

"I'm still virgin. Although, I did have a girlfriend back in Seattle and her name was Hinata. She's Neji's cousin, the guy in our school, don't know if you've heard of him though." Naruto told him.

"Yeah, I've seen him around. I and he don't exactly get along though." Sasuke admitted.

"Do you ever get along with anyone?!"

"It's hard for me to have decent conversations with people; I'm not what you'd call a people person."

"Then how much do you have to like a person in order to have a decent conversation with them?" Naruto wondered.

Sasuke tilted Naruto's chin up before leaning down and giving Naruto a soft kiss on the lips. "That much," he murmured.

Naruto's eyes widened with shock.

TBC

A/N: I am so glad they finally kissed. Regardless of this being a sasunaru yaoi story, it seemed as if though they were probably going to end up together anyway. I haven't gotten to that part yet though! Sasuke could still end up getting rejected because no one said Naruto was gay, right!? I could add a few twists to spice things up! This chapter was probably not super or amazing but I liked it! *sweat drop* I was thinking about what I should do for this chapter and then suddenly Gaara popped out of nowhere. I love Gaara, he's so cute! So I included him in the story. I love Kiba too so I didn't forget to add him either.

Anyway, like you don't know what's going to happen next, I don't know too! Please REVIEW for support and tell me what you think. Thank you! *grins*
