Wow. Well I'm sorry I haven't written for this story for so long; months and months and months and months! I'm ashamed of myself. If you still remember this story then that makes me really happy. I will probably have a message for you when you get to the end of the chapter but I think I will get that out the way first…

But before I do that. I just want to apologise for my major rudeness in the previous chapter. I'm not sure why I was like that… please ignore it. I shall get rid of it when I have the opportunity…


Truth or Dare

Fixing it Up

-Last time-

"I love you Naruto; only you. No one else could replace you or make me feel half as happy as you do."

A small smile crossed Naruto's face, "now you tell me"

"What do you mean?" he remained silent and his eyes began to close, "Naruto?" Naruto's hand fell from Sasuke's waist and a deep cut emerged on his wrist with blood seeping from it. Before he knew it, Naruto had lost all colour in his face and the bed sheets and their bodies were covered in Naruto's blood, "NARUTO! Naruto wake up! Please! Don't leave me!" he was shaking him frantically as he continued to scream, tears pouring down his face, "WAKE UP! DAMN IT NARUTO!! NOOO! ARGHH!" his body slouched over the now cold one as he cried out for his love…

-Present-

-knock knock knock-

Naruto quickly closed the drawer again before heading down the corridor to see who was at the door. He could have just ignored it, but with everything that has happened recently, the chances where they if he didn't answer the door, then it would be broken down.

He opened the door to see a sickly fake smile on none other than Sai's face.

"Good afternoon Naruto"

"Hey, Sai" Naruto leant against the door frame.

"So… look, I don't really have a lot to say, but I still want to say it." His smile was gone now and he seemed to think carefully about what he was going to say before he said it.

"What are you talking about?"

"This whole Sasuke and Neji thing…"

He'd had enough of 'Sasuke and Neji'! He rolled his eyes and went back inside closing the door in Sai's face. He lent against the door and slid down against it until he was sitting on the floor. He didn't want to hear about them anymore. Surely there couldn't be anything new could there?

"Naruto, come on. Open the door" Sai started banging on the door, repeatedly shouting for Naruto to open up.

"NO! NARUTO!" Naruto's eyes widened at the sound of Sasuke's voice.

"What are you doing here Sasuke?"

"Naruto!" he was banging on the door like crazy and Naruto got up and opened it before it got kicked down.

"wha-" before Naruto even had a chance to ask Sasuke what the hell he was doing; Sasuke wrapped his arms around Naruto's neck and pulled him into a nearly chocking hug.

"Naruto," he whispered into the blonde's ear, "I love you Naruto. I love you. So much, so much. I love you. I love you. I love you."

"s-Sas-uke" Naruto stood frozen for a moment with wide eyes before wrapping his arms around Sasuke's waist and resting his chin on Sasuke's shoulder as his eyes closed.

"Ne, Naruto," the blonde opened his eyes to find Sai still standing there with a smile on his face, "I just want to let you know that you don't need to worry about Neji anymore. I'll keep an eye on him and make sure he's distracted." He winked before reaching for the door handle and leaving the two embraced boys on their own.

------

As silence filled the room, Naruto heard Sasuke sniff.

"Sasuke?"

"I love you" his voice was thick and Naruto knew that he was crying.

"Sasuke, what's wrong?" Naruto tried to separate their bodies so that he could look at Sasuke but the raven just held onto him tighter and held him closer.

"I… I had a nightmare."

"Hey, come on now Sasuke, you're a bit too old to go running to someone to save you from a nightmare aren't yo-"

"You killed yourself."

Naruto stiffened before shaking out of it and gently forcing Sasuke to release him so that they could look at each other. Sasuke's legs gave out and they were kneeling in front of each other as Sasuke sobbed, his hands gripping tightly into Naruto's shirt.

"Please Naruto. Pease believe me. Believe that I love you. With all my heart. Believe that I don't want anyone else other than you. I don't care if we never get further than a kiss. So long as I can stay by your side. As long as you can tell me that you love me. As long as I can hold you without the fear of one day finding that you killed yourself."

The only sound that filled the room was Sasuke's sobbing, until…

"You're one to talk, aren't you?" Naruto was looking at the ground; he couldn't bear to look at Sasuke right now, "which of us just got out of Hospital a week ago after attempting exactly that? Huh? How can you come here crying and shouting and telling me that you love me, holding onto me like the world will disappear if you let go, when two weeks ago you found yourself a comfy secluded hilltop, where no one but I could have found you, where you cut yourself deep enough so that you would die!" his voice cracked and tears were escaping his eyes, he was full of fury but also so deeply hurt and scared and upset, "why did you do it Sasuke? If you did nothing wrong, why did you do that?" Naruto had grabbed his arms and was shaking him furiously.

"I hated myself!" he sobbed out, "I felt disgusting, and filthy! And I was so scared that Neji would tell you that I was… a whore, that he would spin some massive lie that would make you hate me and never want to see me again. I didn't want to die with you hating me."

"You sure have a lot of faith in me don't you. Why didn't you just come to me straight away? Why didn't you tell me? Sure, I may have been a bit… pissed off about you kissing Neji but… at least I would have heard it from you. And I would have kissed you to make sure that you don't think about him again."

Their eyes finally met, "…Naruto… you weren't… thinking about doing… anything, were you? You weren't going to hurt yourself again, were you?"

Naruto looked away. Sasuke felt fear overtake him and he pulled on Naruto's right wrist, pushing up the sleeves and taking a look at the scars on his arm, he ghosted a finger over each scar individually before doing the same thing to the other arm, "what are you doing?" Naruto asked.

"Counting them, so that I can check in future and make sure you haven't got anymore" Sasuke ran a finger over the last one before kissing it and looking up at Naruto to find the blonde already looking at him. A small smile crept on Naruto's face. Sasuke sat up so that his eyes were level with Naruto's, and then leaned in and pecked Naruto smiling lips. He put his hands on Naruto's shoulders and gently pushed the blonde back until he was lying on the floor and Sasuke lying on top of him. The raven eased himself down, half on the blonde and half on the wooden floor. He laid his head to the side so that he could see Naruto and reached towards Naruto's face, stroking it and gliding his fingers over his lips and jaw line. "Can we just, stay like this forever?"

Naruto was quiet for a long time before speaking, "no. we can't"

"What?"

"come on" Naruto grabbed a hold of the hand stroking him and kissed it before he led the two of them to his bedroom, "we'd catch a cold if we stayed on that floor forever" he smiled softly as he lead Sasuke to the bed and gently pushed him on, he then lay on his side facing the raven who was looking at him with hurting eyes.

Naruto joined Sasuke on the bed and lay next to him, wrapping his arms around Sasuke's waist as he pulled him towards him. Sasuke had his back against Naruto's chest and brought and hand up to the blondes head, turning his own so that they were facing each other before he kissed him on the lips. Sasuke brought his hands down and rested them on the arms around his waist and closed his eyes.

Naruto kissed his neck and the raven sighed, he gave a small chuckle, "you're right, this is much better than the floor."

"I know, right?" Naruto smiled against Sasuke's neck, he pecked at the soft skin one more time and inhaled Sasuke's scent before resting his head on the pillow and allowing Sasuke to play with his fingers and hand. The raven brought the strong hands to his lips and kissed the back of it before allowing their fingers and tangle and they both drifted off to sleep.

-----

At some point in the night, Naruto had half woken up and pulled the blankets over the two bodies only to instantly go back to sleep and not even remember doing it the next day. The sun leaked in through the window and Sasuke turned in his sleep away from the sun. But with the heat of the sun on his back, he started to wake and was slightly shocked when he saw Naruto's sleeping face before he calmed and a smile crept on his face. Naruto looked so peaceful when he was sleeping, he looked as though everything was alright and nothing was wrong with the world.

Sasuke gently stroked Naruto's face, enjoying the feel of the soft tanned skin and the contrast against his own pale hand.

"mmm"

Sasuke withdrew his hand from Naruto's face, not wanting to wake him up yet but soon started stroking him again. His finger brushed over Naruto's lips and he was surprised when his fingers were kissed and licked. He looked up to see Naruto's open blue eyes watching him with a look that he hadn't seen in a while. It was a look that screamed of Naruto's love for him, a look that assured Sasuke that he wouldn't be replaced even though Sasuke felt as though he was the one that needed to do the convincing rather than being convinced.

"morning" Naruto smiled brightly as he spoke his first words of the day.

"m-morning" Sasuke replied shyly.

"you realise this is the first time we have slept in the same bed together?"

"what? But we've slept together loads of times"

"Somehow, those always ended up on the couch…" Naruto laughed, he watched Sasuke's expression change as he recalled all the times that they had fallen asleep in each others' arms and Naruto laughed again, leaning in to kiss him, "I hope we can do it again really soon" he smiled down at Sasuke as the raven blushed and looked at anywhere but Naruto.

Naruto put his hand on Sasuke's waist and pulled them closer together, trapping Sasuke's arms between their chests and forcing Sasuke to look into Naruto's deep clear blue eyes. Naruto leant in again and kissed Sasuke on the forehead; he then pressed their foreheads together and closed his eyes. Sasuke looked up at him with wide eyes before leaning in to capture Naruto's lips on his own for a sweet peck before saying, "I want to always sleep in your arms and your arms only."


Okay, come on, surely that is a fluffy enough ending for this chapter?

You guys have no idea how sorry I am for not writing this sooner! I feel like this was a complete fail, in the first part at least. I feel like I have forgotten everything about this story.

This isn't the end. It will basically end when they have sex for the first time, that might be the next chapter I'm not sure. I was going to put it in this chapter and kind of like, miss out any of their day to day life and just say sort of like, years past, their trust grew and then they had sex (enter detailed sex scene) the end! I might do something like that in the next one, but I decided not to do it in this one… for some strange reason.

THANKYOU'S
