Angelchan2012: Hey readers! Here's chapter two! Enjoy!
-Naruto's POV-
And so I don't have to think about it anymore…
After we finished our conversation, Kiba unlocked the door and we walked out. I trailed behind thinking. Should I tell him? What if he rejects me right away? What if we never speak to each other again? Maybe I am better off alone; no one's ever loved me before, why should they now? I sighed and shook those thoughts from my mind. I slowly walked over to the bar, sat on a stool and ordered a drink, to wash away my pain.
-Sasuke's POV-
After seeing Kiba, Shino, and finally Naruto leaving the restroom I wondered what they said that got Naruto so depressed. Should I talk with him? Na, it's none of my business. I shrugged it off and went to go talk with Sakura, who was sitting with her girlfriend Ino. "Hey, do either of you know what's up with Naruto?" I ask. "No," says Ino, "why?" "Well, he looks all depressed and I thought maybe one of you knew why. He's been acting strange lately around me and I don't know why." Came my response. "Well, we don't know, why don't you ask him yourself?" Sakura answered. With that I shrugged and made my way to him, I just hope he answers my questions. He's also drinking a lot more than he should.
-Sakura's POV-
"Do you think he's finally taken the hint?" I ask, looking over at Ino. "Doubt it, Naruto's been giving him hints for three years, I doubt the idiot has noticed the hints though." She replied, drinking her margarita. "Ya," I sighed, "I just hope Naruto's okay, and I guess he's thinking that Sasuke doesn't like him." I hope he doesn't get hurt.
-Naruto's POV-
I sat on my stool, crying silent tears. I guess he doesn't like me after all. I gave him three years worth of hints, maybe he noticed 'em but this is his way of saying 'no'. Wiping away my tears I reach for my drink but freeze when I feel a hand on my shoulder. "Naruto," came the calm voice, "we need to talk." "A-about wh-what Sasuke?" I ask. I hope he didn't notice my voice sounding like I was crying. He slowly took my outstretched hand and guided me outside of the party. "Well, you took the time to drag me out here, what is it?" I asked, trembling slightly as he squeezes my arm gently.
-Sasuke's POV-
What's he shaking so much for? Is he scared of me? "What's the matter Naruto? You seem more distant to me lately, what's wrong?" I asked. "Nothing, nothing's wrong Sasuke." Naruto whispered, looking at the ground, "I'm sorry if I have seemed distant to you, sorry." "Naruto, look at me," I said, lifting his chin with my hand, "You're lying, I know there's something wrong and you're not telling me, what is it?"
-Naruto's POV-
Oh, it's nothing just that I wanted to be your boyfriend for the past three years! I screamed in my head. "I told you Sasuke, nothing is wrong, okay? Thanks for your concern." With that I turned around and started to walk back to the party.
-Normal POV-
Sasuke grabbed Naruto's arm and turned him back to face him. "Come on Naruto, I know something's wrong, why won't you just tell me?" he asked. "Because you don't need to worry about me or anything that deals with me!" he yelled. "Stupid Dobe, I care for you and want to help you! Why don't you let someone who cares help you with your problems!" Sasuke shouted, more harshly than he meant to.
-Naruto's POV-
He cares? No, he probably doesn't even know…I just wanna die right now. "Let go, Sasuke." I whispered, pulling my arm back slightly. "No." Sasuke growled, "You aren't telling me anything and I want to know what's wrong." "Did you ever think that for the past three years you could have been able to figure out why I'm feeling upset now?" I shouted, "I gave you as many hints as I could and tonight, I figured out that you would never want to be with someone like me so I'm dropping this conversation!" with that I left inside the party and locked myself in the restroom.
-Sasuke's POV-
I glared at him and said, "No. You aren't telling me anything and I want to know what's wrong." "Did you ever think that for the past three years you could have been able to figure out why I'm feeling upset now?" he screamed, "I gave you as many hints as I could and tonight, I figured out that you would never want to be with someone like me so I'm dropping this conversation!" I stared at him wide eyed and watched him go back inside the party. What have I done? He liked-loved me this whole time and I never noticed? How stupid am I? I walked back inside the party to look for him.
-Normal POV-
"Hey, did you guys see where Naruto went?" Sasuke asked Kiba and Shino. "Ya he went to the restroom, he seemed pretty upset. What'd you say to him?" Kiba asked. "Wait, you mean you guys knew?" Sasuke asked, stunned. "Of course we knew, everyone knew about his crush on you for the past three years, well everyone except you knew." Kiba replied, disappointment in his voice. Sasuke just stared at them in shock.
-Sasuke's POV-
I just stared at them, shocked. Everyone knew? I never knew…he said he gave me three years to try and figure it out, and then with what I told him earlier…Oh my gosh…He probably hates me now, just because I was so clueless… I ran over to the restroom and knocked on the door. "Naruto? Are you in there?" I asked, concerned. I pressed my ear to the door and listened, I could barely hear his sobs on the other side. "Naruto, come on out." I said. "No! I don't want to!" he shouted, "Please, for me?" I asked.
-Naruto's POV-
I was stunned at what I heard. Did he just say 'please' to me? So maybe he does care…Maybe it won't hurt to go out there for a lil' bit… I quietly got up and washed my face in the sink. I looked in the mirror and say that my eyes weren't as puffy from the crying and unlocked the door. "Come in," I said. "Naruto, listen, about what I said earlier in the car…I'm sorry…I'm also sorry that I never realized your feelings either…Naruto, I-I'm sorry, I'm so sorry…" Sasuke said slowly, his head hung. I stared at him, shocked, "S-Sasuke, listen, it's okay if you don't return my feelings, I kinda figured you wouldn't after three years, so I decided to give you some space and hope you find that special someone." Came my reply, when I finished saying it, his head snapped up and he stared at me, stunned by what he heard. "Naruto, why?" He asked. "Why what?" I questioned. "Why fall in love with me? I mean, I'm not the greatest guy in this town, you and I both know that." He stated. "I fell for you because you are a good person, you're funny, smart, and you also know how to kick a person's ass pretty well." I chuckled. Well, I fell for you, but I guess….not anymore…
-Sasuke's POV-
"Wait, you said 'fell' what does that mean?" I asked worried, does that mean he gave up? I hope he didn't. He can't! "Well, I guess it means I don't need to bother chasing you anymore." He sighed, a tiny smile on his face. He's lying; he's only smiling to hide his pain. "You're lying, Naruto." I stated bluntly. He opened his eyes and dropped the smile, "N-no I-I'm not!" he said, "I'm just saying…that you don't need me bothering you anymore, and I won't. You don't have to worry about me, okay?" he asked, placing that lying smile on his face again. "Naruto, I have to worry about you, I care for you." I said, finally showing my feelings for him, "I love you."
