My Song to You

14

The sun had made it halfway through setting. The sky changing to much darker colors slowly. The wind outside carried silent messages from nature. The small songbirds out in the trees were settling in. The neighborhood had also begun to settle in for the night to come. In the darkest house on the block was the Uchiha household. Inside on the second floor in a room with the door ajar just a bit sat two teens. One with ebony locks of hair and skin as white as a pearl. The coal eyes of this brunette stared at shocked azure ones. The dark-haired boy cleared his throat and looked away quickly to avoid confronting what just happened.

The blonde sitting on the bed of the young Uchiha had stopped in the middle of a sentence leaving his mouth open. His eyes were filled with shock as he looked at the boy across from him. The brunette had just called him, a boy, beautiful. The lithe's lively hands had fallen to his lap and his face began to burn. Closing his mouth, the boy swallowed hard and looked in the opposite direction the other was looking.

The room stayed quiet as the two tried to get over the awkwardness that just happened. The first to move was the brunette as he shut his laptop and rolled himself back to his desk across the room. The blonde looked at his hands and began twiddling with his fingers. The air was thick with tension as they tried to come up with something to say in their minds.

"Um, I think I should..." Naruto began but whispered the end.

"No," Sasuke exclaimed turning around, "I actually have something to say to you." he continued.

Naruto stood there with his empty notebook and pen. Sasuke got off his chair and made his way to the door and shut it the rest of the way. Naruto began to get nervous as Sasuke now stood in front of him. The height difference wasn't all that much, but it still intimidated the boy. Sasuke took hold of Naruto's hands and stared into his eyes. The two stared at each other, Naruto feeling trapped and Sasuke fighting himself. 

"Naruto, I... I think I...do you think. Actually, never mind. I'll just send text you everything you need know for the project. Here's my number XXX-XXX-XXXX." Sasuke said writing it on Naruto's notebook. 

Creeped out and having his heart racing Naruto slowly made his way to the door before leaving. He made his way down the stairs and out the front door without telling the older Uchiha. Up in his room Sasuke clenched his fists and sighed. He couldn't admit something he didn't believe understand very well. He couldn't just tell the blonde that he liked him as easily as it was for him in the past. Growing angry with himself Sasuke stormed out his room and down the hall. He burst through the door of the fifth door in the hall and slammed it shut. Inside the room was a decked-out studio and recording system, that he asked for on his thirteenth birthday. Turning everything on Sasuke locked himself inside and began singing his heart out.

Naruto had walked out the house still shocked about what Sasuke had called him. His face burned every time he thought of it. He didn't know how to take it. He's never been called beautiful before. He made it up the small steps in front of his house and pushed aside the fake plant and grabbed the key off the floor. He fumbled a bit with it.

"Get it together." Naruto whispered to himself.

He unlocked the door and shut it just as quickly. He rested against it and sighed. He felt as if he had just been to war. His heart was racing, ears ringing, and he had some serious memory replaying in his mind. Naruto pushed off the door after locking it and ran up to the spare room he'd never use and was used for storage and locked himself inside. He needed to get things straight. He tripped up a few steps before finally making it. He walked to the room and shut the door. He looked around the messy room for something to give him some type of noise. His eyes landed on the piano toy Kakashi had gotten him years back.

"Perfect!" Naruto smiled and grabbed it from the shelf in the closet.

He made his way around the room with his empty notebook and pen. He took his headphones off his phone that was in his back pocket. Naruto plugged his headphones into the piano and started thinking up of a beat for the way he was feeling.

As the two teens sang their hearts out neither knew that the other was singing about them.
