Because I care // SasuNaru

3. Sleepless

Sasuke p.o.v

"You sleep on the floor!!" Naruto instantly shouted, making Sasuke flinch. He hadn't even had time to take a good look at the room and realize that in fact, if one of them didn't sleep on the floor, they'd have to share a bed!

"That's not fair! I want the bed too"

"Well you're not going to get it!" He sulked back.

How was that fair? Naruto surely didn't deserve it more than he did.

"What if we both sleep on the ground, like that we'll be even more far apart" Sasuke suggested, thinking about sneaking into the bed once Naruto fell asleep

"Sure. That seems fair" Naruto replied, mischievousness evident in his voice.

"ok" Sasuke sighed, more to himself then to the other boy. ok. He knelt down on the floor, slowly like Naruto was a bomb that could go off at any moment. He didn't take his eyes off him, he felt that if he did, Naruto would jump to the bed the moment he had a chance.

Naruto mirrored his movements, and soon they couldn't see each other. when was the right moment for Sasuke to take his place in the soft cushions for his peaceful sleep?

"should we turn off the lights?" Naruto interrupted his thoughts.

He was right, the room was too illuminated to sleep. Maybe that was the trick; having the room be dark enough that Sasuke wouldn't even see him climbing on to the bed. But he could use the darkness to his advantage too. He got up and turned the switch off, proceeding to close the curtains.

"Why the curtains?" Naruto asked. Why didn't he just shut up?

"I sleep better in the dark" Throwing a hastily reply would only make him loose sleeping time.

Naruto didn't answer. Sasuke laid down once more on the ground. He'd have to wait until he heard Naruto's breathing slow down.

Soon enough it did, and Sasuke got up without a single sound and got inside the bed. He didn't feel any remorse for Naruto. They couldn't just share the bed, and Sasuke needed his rest to be his most efficient self.

He slid inside the the covers, looking at the window that was on his side of the room. He turned his head to Naruto's side snuggling in his pillow and throwing his hand over the other pillow. Fully taking profit of the spacious bed, he finally let himself fall asleep.

Naruto p.o.v

Somewhere in the middle of the night Naruto lost control of his chakra. He was too deep asleep to notice that the form he had taken as a pillow was no longer in place.

He suddenly awoke with a jolt when he felt a hand on his hip. He was absolutely shocked to open his eyes to Sasuke, venerable and relaxed in his sleep. He put his hand over his mouth, not wanting to wake him up. He had to get out of there now. If Sasuke were to wake up now he'd never believe that Naruto had transformed himself into a pillow! What shame would come! What shame!

As to Sasuke's hand on his hip, Naruto wasn't going to give it much thought. It was surely an accident, and he would never know. Maybe he was an unintentional pervert. Too bad Naruto would never be able to shout at him about it, if he did everyone would end up thinking HE was the perverted one!

How would he do it? He gently tried to grab sasuke's hand and lift it up, but his grip was as tight in his sleep as it was during the day.

Naruto tried to shift himself then, but with a strong pull, Sasuke dragged him to himself. Ok now they were way too close. Naruto couldn't help but blush at the contact, their noses were almost touching for god's sake.

Now their noses were touching and Naruto couldn't help but furiously blush.

Too close, too close

How was it not having any effect on him? Naruto thought while the other boy nested his face further into the pillow with a sleepy sigh. His hand was now flat against Naruto's back and there didn't seem to be a way out.

He wouldn't be able to sleep for sure either; not with Sasuke's face so near his, god they were so close to-

No, he wouldn't think about that. He couldn't let images of such a thing through his mind.

Another thing he couldn't ignore was Sasuke's heartbeat, running at half the speed of his own. He'd have to slow it down, it was too loud and it was almost deafening with the silence surrounding them.

Maybe I should try to sleep, he thought taking his hand to his own heart, feeling the blood rushing trough his body like he was running a marathon. He'd try to sleep then! He'd fall asleep and by the time he woke up he'd either find out it was all a weird dream or Sasuke would have turned around to the window and take his arm with him.
