~*~*Anniversary 3*~*~

"Every man is afraid of something. That's how you know he's in love with you; when he is afraid of losing you."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Announcement: All you crazy heads and secret lovers! The fair is coming into town! So pack your things, grab a friend and head on down to Walton Fair Park!"

Sapphire eyes widened with excitement, a growing smile pressed against tan cheeks. Turning the ignition of the boys orange convertible off, he stared passed the rain to the apartment he shared with his lover. Thoughts blazed in his mind as he tapped his foot, pondering. Nodding to no one in particular, he stepped out of his car, sprinting to the door. Walking into the ominous apartment, his footsteps reverberated off of the orange walls. He looked around surreptitiously, sneaking behind corners and other random lampshades until he found his lover, perched on his maroon comforter, half asleep. Grinning his infamous signature smirk he tip toed to the bed, breathing only slightly before he tackled the boy to the ground.

A slight brawl ensued, with the raven haired boy winning. At last pallid hands held down tan wrists; a glare streamed down from onyx eyes to the joyous blue orbs.

"What do you think you're doing?" His sick, malicious voice didn't seem to penetrate the over cheerful boy.

"Surprise", the blonde grinned, slightly frigidity under the pressure of the raven's knee that was placed 'lovingly' on his abdomen, receiving another glare from said raven. Getting off of the blonde slowly, the pale form glided to the window, breathing to enhance his composure.

"You know what today is?" the blonde spoke again, jumping up from the ground, like the fight before hand didn't even happen.

"No, of course not" onyx pupils rolled along with the obvious sarcasm off of the peach colored tongue, resulting in a soft punch from the other boy. A playful glare was emitted from blue eyes.

"Not that again" he joked, "Anyways! Look what I got you" His smile overwhelmed the usual distant boy as a small smirk was produced. The blonde reached into his back pocket and pulled out a pair of two yellow tickets.

"I'm taking you to the fair!" He exclaimed, making the rare smile dissipate, leaving a scornful grimace in its place.

"Oh come on, Sasuke! You can do it!" the blonde leech hung tightly over Sasuke's left arm, hindering him from throwing the ball fast enough to make the small milk bottles to fall over.

"I could if you'd let go of me" A small tug of war ensued to get his arm free from said leech. A small whine escaped the blonde's lips, making Sasuke's thrashing stop and look down at the boy confused.

"But, I don't wanna let you go." His sad voice punctured the deadpanned boy. Sighing, and with a fake distaste, he stopped struggling and allowed the boy to hold on to him tighter. One ball left from the cliché fair game, he grasped it tightly, aimed, and threw it once again. To his, and the blonde's surprise, the bottles fell. Wide eyed the counter man grabbed a giant stuffed fox, handing it to Sasuke. A chuckle arose at the chestnut prize, looking between the blonde and the fox, as the blonde did the same.

"What?" blue eyes questioned, feeling slightly vulnerable. A smirk plastered itself on to the boy, shaking his head.

"Nothing, dobe. Happy Anniversary" shoving the animal to the blonde, he walked away, arms clenched in his pockets. The blonde stood their, grasping the stuffed animal and staring into its eyes.

"Well, aren't you just the most adorable thing I've ev-"

"Naruto" Sasuke's voiced called; interrupting the blonde's rant and making him jump slightly.

"Coming" Naruto yelled, running to catch up with the raven.

Strenuously clenching the large hammer, Naruto looked at his victim. A large red dot on a metal platform seemingly stared back at him. A slight sweat dripped down as if in slow motion from the blonde's brow. Turning his footing slightly to the left, and swallowed anticipating his next move.

"Naruto would you hurry it up already" A monotone voice pierced his reverie, making his head fall from the ruined fantasy.

"Come on Sasuke. Let me have a little fun" He pleaded, resulting in another sigh from the cross armed boy that stood behind the gate of the fair game the blonde chose to do.

Seizing the handle of the massive hammer one last time the blonde brought it over his shoulder and down, straight onto the red dot. The exertion behind the hammer and the boy's strength permitted for the small metal ball to sour on the long scale and slam into the top metal ball, causing a loud ring.

"Yes!" His excited howl brought the surrounding attention on to him. Sasuke grinned, shaking his head slowly at the blonde's joy to winning a child's game. His prize, a months worth of free ramen, was handed to him in a certificate form. Smashing it into his pockets, that were already filled with other random prizes, he jumped over the gate grabbing Sasuke's hand and running to the next game the blonde thought interesting.

With the sky darkening Naruto's eyes twinkled thanks to the bright lights that glimmered off of other store boxes. The crowd began to thicken as young teenagers cluttered next to each game, causing a long line in anything the blonde wanted to do, but being the impatient one, Sasuke shook his head no.

Suddenly stopping, onyx eyes meet with bright lights that hung loosely on the mammoth size Farris Wheel. Looking quickly at the non-existing line, he grabbed Naruto's hand and dragged him to the opened box of the giant wheel.

"Sasuke, come on. Not this-", Naruto complained but was interrupted by the clicking of the box door. Sasuke grinned as the machine started up, revolving them up a little higher from the ground. As the box moved up a little higher, Sasuke swung slightly, which started rocking the box back and forth. As they reached the top the grin grew on the pale cheeks as he looked down at the small civilians.

"Please, Sasuke, stop swinging" the usually hyper boy spoke solemnly, surprising the passive boy, making him stop swinging without questioning the boys motives.

"Naruto, are you okay?" his eyes didn't see past the oddly colored cheeks of his lover; the russet color of his face was a deathly pale shade. Sapphire eyes turned to Sasuke, a slight plea in them, as the hyper boy clung to the pole that connected to the side of the metal box.

"I'm" his voice broke, swallowing he tried again, "I'm afraid of heights" His confession stunned the raven boy, making a twinge of guilt plagued his heart. Sliding over to Naruto, Sasuke wrapped his arms around his shoulder, hiding his face from the ground.

"You should've said something. Don't worry, it'll be over soon" His words comforted the boy.

Until the box jerked side to side and stopped in place. Both boys' eyes were wide.

"We are having minor technical difficulties. Sorry for the inconvenience. We will have you down shortly" the announcers voice spoke threw a mega phone from the ground. It was just their luck. To be stuck at the very top of the highest thing in town, and a short fused boy who didn't like to wait, and a hyper boy who was scared of heights

"I hate you" Naruto growled into Sasuke's chest, receiving a loud bellowed laugh to erupt from said chest. Naruto looked up into Sasuke's eyes, confused and slightly hurt. Sasuke shook his head to try and stop the sudden laughter and held onto Naruto a little tighter.

"What?" his questioned slightly silenced the boy's laughter.

"It's just, you are never afraid of anything, and the one thing that can't hurt you, you're afraid of" A frown contorted to Naruto's face that didn't seem to belong there, as he pushed away from Sasuke to the other side of the box, curling in on himself.

"I'm sorry that we could easily fall to our deaths" Naruto tried to explain his fear, but knew he couldn't change the raven's mind. The laughter ceasing, arms wrapped around the blonde boy. Shocked he looked up into the onyx orbs that he loved so very much.

"No matter if you are up on the highest height or on the ground, I will catch you whenever you fall. You aren't alone." Tugging at his collar, small tears streamed down tan cheeks as he sat in the raven's lap. Kissing his forehead, Sasuke smiled at the closeness of the two, then froze in surprise as a firework was lit and exploded in the sky. Naruto's eyes widened and he looked up at the beautiful glowing gun powder. Looking back to Sasuke with a giant smile, until he saw his lover's face, a stunned expression was plastered to it.

"Sasuke, what's wrong?" Naruto questioned trying not to look at the ground behind the boy.

"I hate loud things" He shivered as it was Naruto's turn to laugh.
