Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of its cast. *sniffle*I do, however, own a manga, a cue box thingy and game for the series though. And anyways if I did own Naruto I'd be rich and, therefore, would be swimming in an ocean of anything related to SasuNaruSasu…..a girl can dream can't she? xD
Author's Note: I believe the fact that I've been watching Sesame Street for two hours everyday for the past about three weeks is the reason that there are some references from it. xD Blame my godchild, wait don't, she's just a baby. xP Soooo I like updating this. Woot! This means I may actually make it to chapter seven before I have to head back to Orlando for bye to the BahamasXx Anyways soo here's chapter three! Yay! Thankies for all the reviews everybody!

Btw I noticed there were some spelling errors and stuff in the last chapter, which really irks me so I figure it irks some of you reader's too so SORRY! xXthrows milk and cookiesXx And here are the replies to the reviews for this chapter. ;D
A home can be Empty and a Home can be Full.
Sasuke left his car on and got out. "Fucking need to get this damn thing fixed." He pushed up on the garage's door to get it to roll up. It had started raining a few minutes after Sasuke had left Naruto's house, so his clothes were soaked by the time he got into his car again. He parked the car in the garage and turned the key to cut the engine. He sat in the darkness with the rain as his emo music.
"Damn, if I get as emo as Gaara!" He declared before hitting the dashboard.
Sasuke yanked off his seatbelt and was about to throw his car door open as a part of his royal tantrum, but he stopped when he realized how childish he was acting. "Sasuke, what are you getting upset about, "It was easier for the Uchiha to accomplish things when dealing with it in the third person." Naruto said everything was fine and if he was upset, you know Naruto, he'll get over it." Sasuke let out a sigh at the relief that was brought on by the voice of reason. He slid out of the car, feeling a little bit better about himself. He started walking towards the garage door, when he turned and opened the car door. He snatched the paper before turning and walking to the door. He hated when Naruto was right.
"Damn cops and their speeding tickets."
Naruto wanted to cry or maybe punch something, but he couldn't. He couldn't because Konohamaru was sitting down next to him on the bottom bunk bed, Naruto's bed, crying.
"I…It's not fair." Konohamaru gasped out.
"Come on man, don't cry." Naruto patted the younger boys back.
"I'm not crying…my eyes are just bleeding clear blood." Konohamaru swiped at his eyes with the back of his hand.
'Well that was actually pretty original and kinda weird at the same time.' Naruto sighed. "Come on, there are more fish in the sea…..how long were you two even dating…a month?"
"We were dating for four weeks and six days! Tomorrow was going to be our one month and one week anniversary." More clear blood rolled down the younger boy's face.
"Man, he had it bad for her…" Naruto mumbled to himself.
"Huh? W-What'd ya say?"
"Nothing, I was just saying I could relate."
"Oh. Yeah. I forgot about you and that Sasuke kid. Sorry Naruto." Dark eyes looked up at Naruto.
"Nah, it's alright."
"Yall get back together yet?" Konohamaru actually had a little bet going on with most of the kids in the house on whether Naruto and Sasuke would get back together, he thought Naruto didn't know.
"Yeah, in fact I got me so-…..never mind I don't kiss and tell." Naruto smirked.
Konohamaru's face brightened up immediately and Naruto now knew what Konohamaru had placed his bet on.
"Glad to hear it man…..anyways I gotta go…uh…brush my teeth before bed…." Konohamaru rose from his place next to Naruto. Naruto smiled and nodded as he watched Konohamaru fight the urge to sprint off.
"Hey. You feeling any better?" He asked.
"Yeah, she wasn't all that hot anyway, tried to get me to help her cheat on one of Iruka's exams, che, friggin idiot…anyways see ya later." The door slammed behind him. Naruto's grin grew if there was one way to cure one of Konohamaru's infamous cases of heartbreak, it was money.
Naruto leaned back on his mattress, it was only 8:45, there wasn't a chance in hell that Konohamaru had gone to get ready for bed.
Sasuke was sprawled out on his king sized bed. No matter how much he grew it seemed he would never be able to stretch out to grasp all four corners. He sighed and glared at the clock that wouldn't change from its glowing of 8:45. He pulled himself into a sitting position.
It was going to be a hell of a long night.
"Here comes the cookie monster!" Naruto roared as he chased a green haired girl, who was holding a cookie, around the living room. The little girl squealed with delight.
"Naruto!" Said blonde abruptly stopped his chase in order to avoid crashing into the red haired girl who stood before him.
"Yes Misha?" Naruto squatted to be on the tiny girl's level.
"Your hair is yellow." The girl's stare was serious.
"Yes?" Naruto was slightly puzzled.
"Then you can't be the cookie monster. You have to be Big Bird." The girl said sternly.
Naruto resisted the urge to laugh and took the girl into his arms. "Yes ma'am." He moved her so that her arms were wrapped securely around his neck and she was on his back. He bent his hands to look like wings before flapping them. "Caw! Caw! Tweet! Tweet! "
"No! No! Naruto! You're doing it wrong!" The girl squealed in between giggles.
Sasuke sat on his couch, a towel around his waist and another draped across his shoulders. He watched as a green puppet thing talked to an orange puppet that looked like a worm. He didn't think he was even really watching the TV, maybe it was the memories he saw on the screen. He missed those memories. He missed his family that didn't exist anymore. He sighed. 'Fuck, why do I always get like this when it's raining?" He got up and left Sesame Street to watch the empty couch.
The phone began ringing as Sasuke poured himself a cup of tea. Nobody ever called his house except Naruto. Sasuke picked up the phone before it could ring again.
Naruto nudged the squeaky door open with his shoulder, as his hands were currently occupied with Misha's small body. The girl had fallen asleep watching the second running of Sesame Street, most of the kids did because they would be up and jumping around during the first showing. He placed the small being on her bed before tucking her in and leaving the room.
Naruto walked down the hall, hands in pocket and stomach growling. He swung the kitchen door open only to almost crash into Iruka and the trays of food the man was carrying. "Ah! Sorry Iruka!"
"It's alright Naruto, nothing spilled." Iruka said and let out a puff of breath.
Drool started draining down the corner of Naruto's mouth. "Is-Is-Is…is that what it looks and smells like?"
"Yes Naruto, it is ramen." Iruka said with a small smile. "Now help me or none for you."
"Yes sir!" Naruto took a tray and fast walked away.
"Be careful not to spill anything!" Iruka warned as he walked a few paces behind Naruto. 'Naruto and his ramen….'
Sasuke pulled on his coat and got the keys off the counter. "How'd he even get my number?" He grumbled to himself and walked into the garage to his car. It was only minutes later that he was screeching down the road. If it had been for any other reason he would have been overjoyed to get out of the empty shell that once was a home to him.
To speed away from the memories that haunted even his dreams.
The clock read 11:30 when Naruto finally slid underneath his covers, a smile was still plastered across his face from the TV show he had been watching with Iruka and a few of the older kids. He hadn't heard from Sasuke since he had been dropped off and he was worried. "That freaking teme." He grumbled.
He turned his head to the side to look at the picture of him and Sasuke on his nightstand. He took it down to place it next to his head on his pillow.
End One-shot
Author's Note: So, by the first Author's note you should be able to tell that I had most of this written before summer, anyways sorry for getting this to you guys so late. Where I live in the U.S. computer access is limited to schoolwork. I'm back in the Bahamas right now so updates will be happening, woot! This chapter is mainly dealing with showing the differences in Naruto and Sasuke's lives, but also the slight similarities. The next chapter there will be some SasuNaru or NaruSasu interaction, depending on how you look at it. And for those who didn't realize it Naruto lives in a Home for kids. Btw, sorry for the short chapter. Anyways, thanks to those who stayed with me I appreciate it! xXgives milk and cookiesXx Now onto my da-
Author pulls a shuriken out of her stomach and watches as cookies leak out of the hole. "Wtf?" Author then proceeds to faint in the pool of cookies.
Naruto and Sasuke stare at the scene before them.
"This is too weird to be proceeded by any loving goodness."
"Agreed."
Hugs and kisses xoxoxo jaat
