Author's Note: *pops up out of nowhere* I shouldn't have had the time to write this... Yet, I did. It's a sign, a sign! (And don't tell me it's not that much, I'm aware of that... It still took me almost half an hour. *hides) *disappears again*

It always felt like everything was so easy for Naruto.
Sasuke watched as blue eyes stared for a moment, confusion giving the tanned, handsome face a touch of innocence. Then, brows rose, forming that small wrinkle on Naruto's forehead, while his tongue darted out to lick his lips. It was concentration, and Sasuke knew it, yet he played it off as stupidity.
"Don't sprain your brain," he mocked, hating the way it came off so much sharper than he had intended. Naruto's eyes flickered into his direction, his concentration wavering for a split second and Sasuke turned and left, fully aware of the knowing look Kakashi threw at his retreating back. Behind him, Naruto shrugged and went back to figuring out the jutsu their teacher had just shown him. Sasuke was still in earshot when things fell into place for him and he laughed, his hands already flying through the necessary seals to perform the jutsu.
It always felt like everything was so easy for Naruto. It always felt like Sasuke had to play dirty just to keep up with him.
