(Sasu pov)
My friends seemed to have made themselves right at home. I hear my phone ringing, noticing the ringer I almost hesitated in picking up. I was scared to talk to him. Especially since I was about ready to drink myself into a coma over this guy.
"Hello?" was how Gaara answered the phone in only the way he could... very dryly.
He was silent for a moment and locked eyes with me. I don't know why I was so surprised, after all gaara was talking on my phone to Naruto. After a moment gaara responded again, "Let me see if he wants to talk to you?" I wasn't ready yet. I hadn't been able to face him let alone even pick up the phone and message him. I was still so lost and confused. "he's busy can u talk to him later?"
I went to sit on my couch and began to open the bottle. Neji had already grabbed glasses. I noticed Gaara staring at the phone coldly and slightly confused. I rose an eyebrow at him. "He said he would see you soon."
I truly doubted I was ready for that. At least not quite yet.
Suddenly my doorbell rang. Was this soon? I walk over to the the door quickly running my hands through my inky hair, Hoping I didn't look as bad as I feel.
Swinging the door open to reveal that golden haired, blue eyed bronze god at my door way. I instantly regretted not checking the window or something first. I was in shock. I guess he really meant soon. "Hey beautiful."
I lowered my eyes from his and onto the ground. I closed the door alittle hoping he wouldn't notice I had company. "W-what are you doing here?" on habit I bit my lip
"Didn't gaara tell you, that I would be seeing you soon?" I could hear his smirk through his words. I wish I had enough courage to actually look at it.
"Yes but I-umm I thought that would be like tonight at the christmas party.." I stated, suddenly finding the hem of my shirt more fun to look at than trying to face him.
"I've missed you Sasuke. Can we talk?" My eyes widened alittle as he said this. He missed me?! He held up a six pack and a box of pizza.
"G-gaara and Neji are here, I-i cant k-kick 'em out." I stuttered out. Did I seriously just stutter! What has this man done to me, I'm more of an uke than ever now! (FML). I moved to the side allowing him into my house.
"Mind if I steal your friend?" He asked boldly to both Garra and Neji.
Neji reaches over and grabs a beer off the table. "It's up to Sasuke." I nodded quickly. "We're right here if you need us Sasuke."
I knew it was a bad idea but I dragged him into my room. We hadn't been here since the first time we were intimate. So to be back here with him is a nightmare. I have already been sleeping in my guest room or the couch. Because staring at the bed and remember all the emotions and memories this man in front of me brought out is beyond overwhelming.
I closed the door. Ready to yell at him. I summoned all my Uchiha Confidence.
"Now what exactly do you want?" I ask sternly looking into those beautiful blue eyes. He looked away. I noticed a color developing over his cheeks.
"Honestly... I want you back in my life." He whispers quietly."Please let me explain what happened." He sat down on the bed and patted the spot next to him.
If his idea of getting me back, was putting work in between the sheets, he had another thing coming! I refused to sit.
"Do you truly think so little of me already Teme?" The nickname sparked something in my heart. "i guess I really cant blame you, For months I toyed with your heart. Telling you I loved you but refusing to break up with Hinata." It hurt hearing that finally said out loud and not just in my head. "You know I did mean everything I said to you." He paused for a moment and stood. "I truly care for you Uchiha Sasuke. I may even like you more than you like me at the moment. But than again I don't blame you..."
"You used me!" I gritted out through clenched teeth. "You made me feel like nothing more than an experiment to figure out your orientation. For months, Naruto I gave you everything. I gave you my mind! I gave you my unlimited time! I even gave you my body!... All of which I was ok with, but the one thing I gave you... That I have never given any other man or woman... was my heart. And that scared the hell out of me. You are the first person I have ever been in love with! And the fact that, Even though I walked into this willingly. And fell completely I didn't expect to hit the ground so hard! I don't think you realize what I went throughout all of this. I ended up hating myself. I couldn't even look Hinata in the eyes anymore, Let alone myself. Cause I was living a lie... And for what?! A guy. To put the icing on the cake it was all for my best friend's boyfriend!" At this point I was screaming, Tears were running down my face. I didn't care what I looked like to this man. This speech also made me realize I am still deeply in love with him. My body finally gave out on me and I fell to my knees in front of him.
He knelled besides me and wrapped his arms around me, pressing my face into his chest. One of his hands intertwining in my hair and the other rubbing circles into my back. I just sat there and cried. I have no idea where this had all come from. And had I known this was in me, never in a million years would I have thought that I would have the courage to tell Naruto all of this.
"I sometimes forget you're a human with real emotions underneath that beautiful mask of yours. You are so perfect at hiding your feelings. And i'm sorry for forgetting that underneath all the perfection there is still a scared child in you. In all of us actually. Maybe my inner child was scared of being alone, So in a very selfish manner I tried to keep both you and Hinata. And I know that isn't right and i'm so sorry for hurting you and her, and for damaging any bit of your friendship. All I can ask you is to forgive me for my human faults. I'm not saying you have to, i'm begging you to. Because this last month has been the worst month of my life without you in it. I had wanted more than anything... And you wouldn't believe this, I wanted more than anything to hear you call me a 'Dobe' Even if it was screaming and full of anger. I wanted nothing more than to hold your hand again, Like we did when we first met." Naruto ended his speech by kissing the top of my head.
"Hn, Dobe" I whispered before hugging him "Youre so cheesy." I cooed
"Let's start over!" he exclaimed excitedly.
"What?" I pull away from his chest extremely confused. "After that huge speech. You just want to start over?" I asked curiously.
"Yes. Exactly! Stand up!" I do as he says and we both are to our feet. "Hi my name is Uzumaki Naruto." He held out his hand with a huge smile on his face. I could sill see the wet streaks from his tears. It was symbolic to me it was almost as if it was his war paint. Or is mask breaking cause he always hides behind that smile and blond mentality. "What's your name?"
"It's Uchiha... Uchiha Sasuke." I take his hand in mine and smile softly.
"You know Sasuke... I think we will make great friends!" He says with a smirk. Suddenly I am in his arms tightly. "Maybe, Something more.. One day." he whispers huskily in my ear, before kissing my cheek and releasing me.
"Dobe" I laugh before hugging him again. "Lets go get some food. I'm starving." I lean in as if i'm going to kiss him, but instead i push him onto the bed and run downstairs, to ensure I was in the lead.
"Get back here teme!" I smile as I hear him yelling this as I hop into my chair. I received weird looks from both Gaara and Neji that had been currently making out on my couch. I just shrugged and bit into my pizza.
This would be the end of my story of my best friend's boyfriend. And hopefully the beginning of something so much more.
I look at the staircase to be greeted by that fox like grin of Naruto's. Yes! This is definitely the start of something new and better!
