~Jealousy~

"Hey Sakura-chan!" Naruto grinned when he caught sight of the pink-haired girl. He chose to ignore the dark-haired Uchiha she was currently attached to.

Sakura didn't look at him, her gaze remained fixed on Sasuke. "Oh...hello Naruto," she greeted distractedly.

"I was wondering if you wanted to go and-"

"No."

"-eat somewhere with me." Naruto's voice trailed off and his cheeks burned red.

She'd never flat-out rejected him before, usually she just made excuses and left. He didn't know what had embarrassed him the most, the fact she'd turned him down or the fact Sasuke was there to witness the entire thing.

"I'm sorry, Naruto, but me and Sasuke are going to eat together today," Sakura apologised. She didn't bother to hide the glee from her voice, she was practically going on a date with Uchiha Sasuke!

Naruto blinked. He could still hear Sakura rambling on about where they were going but her words sounded far away and muffled. It was like he was listening from underwater. Oh Kami he'd never live it down if he fainted infront of his rival. "That sounds great, Sakura," he forgot the honorific, "I really need to go now and...walk Kiba's dog..."

"OK, bye Naruto!" Sakura said happily, too excited about her date to care about Naruto's strange behaviour.

Naruto gave a forced smile. "Bye Sakura," his cerulean gaze shifted to Sasuke, "Bye Sasuke-teme!" He walked quickly away, miserable and humiliated

He managed to get a good distance away before someone grabbed his arm, forcing him to stop. He turned his head to glare but paused when his eyes met onyx. "Sasuke," he breathed. His cheeks tinted pink when he realised how feminine he'd just sounded, saying the bastard's name like that. What on earth was wrong with him?

"You were jealous," Sasuke smirked triumphantly. He pushed the blond boy up against the wall.

Naruto swallowed, blue eyes looking at anything but Sasuke. "Sakura can date whoever she wants. You don't have to rub it in my face that she chose you."

Sasuke leant forward until his breath tickled against the skin of Naruto's neck. The blond shivered despite himself. "You were jealous of Sakura..."

"Shut up, teme!" Naruto snarled, not wanting to hear it.

Sasuke ignored Naruto's warning and continued, "...Because you want me."

Naruto turned his head to the side and didn't answer. He didn't know what to say or do. There was no point in denying it.

"I bet it hurts terribly, longing for something you'll never have." He brushed the tips of his fingers gently against Naruto's bronze skin and watched, fascinated, as he trembled under his touch.

Naruto hung his head, blond bangs covering his face. "You don't know anything."

"As enlightening as this conversation was, I have a date to get ready for." Sasuke turned to walk away. "Have fun walking Kiba's dog, dobe."

Naruto watched as he walked away. "You know what I think, teme?" He yelled after him. "I think you want me too!"

Sasuke looked back at the blond over his shoulder and smirked. He didn't confirm it or deny it.
