Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto nor do I own it's characters. I make no money with this.
Author's Note: This is a rather shallow chapter, I have to admit. I'm kind of sorry for that, but I really think that something like this is also part of NaruSasu. x'D So here it is.^^
Laugh
Naruto knew it wasn't that funny.
It had been a fight like most of their other fights – a stupid argument over whatever had seemed like a good enough excuse at that time that had quickly turned into something bigger and more dangerous. Naruto never clearly remembered what had lead to what afterwards. This time, however, they kind of hadn't managed to make it to the training grounds and he still had only a vague idea of where they were...
He didn't know what exactly had happened, but somewhere between dodging one of Naruto punches and trying to kick the blond's stomach, Sasuke had lost his balance or slipped on the muddy ground or god knows what. Naruto just knew that one second, he'd been there and the next, he'd been sitting in the small rivulet that neither of them had really paid attention to before.
It wasn't the fact that Sasuke – Uchiha Sasuke and not Uzumaki Naruto – had ended up falling into the water (nor was it the fact that he'd managed to get himself completely wet when the water was barely deep enough to cover his thighs now that he was sitting in it) that had Naruto toppling over, laughing so hard his stomach hurt and tears ran down his face.
It was the way he looked, sharingan red eyes wide with shock, lips slightly parted, cheeks flushed. It was much more than Naruto could take...
Several minutes later had him gasping and panting on the ground, because he just couldn't breathe he was so busy laughing. When he finally managed to get his body back under control, he looked up just in time to catch Sasuke erase the last reminders of what could have been a grin.
And Naruto knew Sasuke well enough to translate a grin into a full-blown laugh.
