[Sasuke's POV]
Did I ever expect the Hokage to listen to me? No. Not in a million years. Yet, here he was, standing in front of me. "Well, well. So the old lady actually listens. What's up... Naruto?"
The look on his face made me smirk. He was surprised to see me, surprised that I was there. And that, gave me hope.
"Why?" He whispered, "Why now? Why did you come back now?!?" He yelled, tears falling off of his cheeks. Naruto was pale, paler than the last time I seen him. It kinda scared me. But it was great to see him again.
"I needed to see you again." I started to confess, "I needed to tell you. Tell you everything…" Then, I trailed off as I started to talk quieter.
"Well? Tell me now.!" Naruto yelled. He was still crying but he was angry, I could tell.
Just then, Kakashi wispered into Naruto's ear, then left. I was finally alone with him. It was time. Time to tell Naruto how I truely feel.
"Truth is Naruto… You're more than a friend to me, more than a brother even…" I stated to say but couldn't.
"What do you mean, 'more than a friend'?"
"Naruto… I came back because so needed to tell you how I truly feel. How I feel for you."
There was a long pause. A pause so thick that you could cut it with a knife.
"You mean to tell me that the whole time you were gone, I fought long and hard for you to come back home…yet, you came back because…"
"I like you Naruto. I always have. I was just to stupid to realize it. And I am so sorry." I interrupted. Forcing myself to spill out all the tiny details.
And then, he sighed. It was long and hard, "So… you mean to say that you have… f-feelings? For me?"
Then, I sighed, "Your so naive. Yes, Naruto. I have fallen for you. And it's not like I wanted to either. It just… happened."
Without another word, Naruto used his Shadow Clone Jutsu, his clone went off somewhere while he stayed with me. This made me confused, why would he use his jutsu for something so silly?
[Naruto's POV]
When Sasuke told me that he felt something for me my heart nearly jumped out of my chest. I wondered how long he kept this from me; but most importantly, since when did he fall for me?
So, before I left, I sent one of my shadow clones to get a guard or at least the key to his cell. I needed to tell him how I feel face-to-face not behind bars. Not like he did, I can't do it that way.
It's not like I don't feel the same. The only thing that's different is that I had something for Sasuke since the first time I met him. It was back when I was alone the most. Back when we were still young, young enough to know how we felt. He was sitting on a pier facing the water. I was walking through the village when I saw him. I remember stopping and talking with him from the street, then smiling and walking off. Only to find out that he had smiled back at me.
By the time my clone came back to me, they brought me just the key, no guard, "They didn't want to intrude so they gave me the key. Remember what the Hokage said though." Said the clone, "Of course." I responded, making the clone disappear into thin air.
I took the key, unlocked the cell door, and stepped inside locking the door again behind me. When I reached two steps in front of him, I stoped.
"I'll tell you the truth if you promise to stay were you are."
