10 WAYS to know if he's in LOVE with you~
"SASUKE-TEME!"
He fleetingly considered making a run for it –he could easily outrun the dobe–but Sasuke knew it'd be useless. Naruto would just find him again, next time probably in a place with witnesses. At least here in the shade of the trees he could murder Naruto and not be executed. Of course, Sakura would immediately (and accurately) suspect him and possibly neuter him. So with that in mind, he should probably just beat Naruto to a pulp. Then Sakura would have no excuse to chomp his head off, she'd be busy healing Naruto.
But after that, she'd come after him.
He shuddered at the thought.
Sasuke was still silently contemplating how to decapacitate Naruto without causing some permanent damage to avoid Sakrua's wrath when Naruto spotted him. The dark haired boy was so deep in thought that when Naruto flashed in front of him and shouted a question at him (unnecessarily loud and wet with spit bits flying everywhere), he did not comprehend and only glared. This did not seem to be the reaction Naruto was looking for so the sunny haired boy promptly shoved a flaringly pink and red book in his face.
Sasuke blinked rapidly, the offending colors momentarily blinding him. Naruto took his moment of weakness to ask again "Are you in love with Sakura?"
It took one second for Sasuke to read the bright, bold words on the offending cover, another second for him to process them and Naruto's rude inquiry, and one last second for him to react.
"KATON NO JUTSTU."
Sasuke proceeded to burn the book to ashy smithereens and possibly scatter the ashes to all four winds. He only wished he had enough self control to rip it to shreds first. He wanted to deal some pain.

Naruto had hoped that Sasuke could digest the question more gracefully than this but –Sasuke's train of rational thought had blown.
In short, Naruto had to engage in combat with the infuriated Sasuke, sparring against him whilst dodging fatal attacks and hurling obsceneties toward the bastard to stop trying to kill him and calm down.
"HOLY FUCK MUFFINS SASUKE, WATCH WHERE YOU'RE AIMING!" Naruto screamed while barely avoiding a kunai whistling towards his vulnerable manly parts.
"I am aiming," Sasuke hissed, "but I see they're too small a target for me."
"HEY THAT'S RUDE-HEEY!" Naruto screamed while dodging another fireball aimed for his head.
All thoughts of avoiding Sakura's wrath were out the window. Sasuke wouldn't mind dying, as long as the dobe was dead too. Dying would be much less embarrassing than coming to terms with his "feelings" and telling them to Naruto. Naruto would tell everyone. Then Sasuke would have to murder the whole village. That was too much work to just keep something from Sakura, and he did not particularly want to become like his brother.
Ahh, an opening.
Prepare to die, dobe.

"Mmmmhmmh mmhmh, mmh mhmh mhm mmmhmh mmmhm!" (Come on, Sasuke, it was an innocent question!)
Like hell it was. "What's that dobe?"
"Mmm mmmh, mmh mhmh mhm mmmmhmh mmmhm!" (I saaaid, it was an innocent question.)
Go to hell.
"MMHM, MMMGH MMMMH!" (HEY, THAT'S RUDE)
What, you can read my mind?
"MM!" (YEAH)
Sasuke paused. What the…
He shook his head before getting off Naruto and releasing his hold on the back of his neck. Naruto's head popped up as he furiously spit out dirt and grass.
"ACKKK, TEME!"
BAM.
"MMMHM, MMMH MMHMH!" (OKAY, I'M SORRY)
"Hn."
"Uuugh." Naruto hacked out another ball of dirt and grass before glaring at Sasuke. "You have a serious problem," he said while pointing accusingly at the dark haired man he was insulting. Naruto quickly backed away before Sasuke could grind him back into the dirt.
"If you reacted that strongly, it must mean you do like her," Naruto mused while rubbing his chin in thought.
"Of course I do."
"HAH, so I was –EHH WHAT?" Naruto shouted, thrown off by the fact that Sasuke admitted it so quickly after wreaking so much damage upon him. Really unnecessary damage.
"She is my teammate. I care for her," Sasuke elaborated while smacking Naruto in the back of the head. "What you are implying is that I like her more than that which is insulting. She is my teammate and friend. That is all."
"Denial," Naruto whispered.
Sasuke heard.
Needless to say, Naruto sported a myriad of bruises when Sasuke finally got over his murderous rage and calmed down enough to listen to Naruto's research.

"Who knew you could read, dobe."
"SHUT UP, TEME."
.
.
"I'm not in love with her."
"Stop denying it."
An exasperated sigh.
"What's got you so convinced?"
"Well, your reaction, but I was going to find out today by watching your body language!"
"….you're gay aren't you?"
"GO TO HELL!"
"Ladies first.
"TEME!"
