Slow Love (A Sasunaru Fanfic)

Chapter 2 : Time Flies

After their first conversation in that empty classroom, they'd rushed out to have lunch before the break ended. This made them decide to have lunch together from then on.

Their now mutual friends had joined them after a week or so, unable to tolerate being ditched by the boys for a whole week.

Sasuke's friends, Hyuga Neji and Yamanaka Ino, immediately hit it off with Naruto and his friends, Inuzuka Kiba, Nara Shikamaru and Haruno Sakura.

When Naruto and Sasuke started off as friends, they were so polite with each other. But now after months of being together - nearly 2 years, said politeness was thrown right out the window, as if didn't exist to begin with.

Sasuke was so timid and cheesy at first -well he's still a little cheesy even now- but now that they were closer all he did was tease the heck out of Naruto every chance he got. His loving care was the same as ever though. If anything, Sasuke was sure he was even more in love with him now.

Naruto was always super considerate towards Sasuke and that hasn't changed even now. How could he not be when the raven loves him that much? The least he could do is be a little more careful so he doesn't end up hurting him. After all, they were best of friends before anything else. He'd be damned if he hurt his best friend with his own words or actions.

They were in their 3rd year of high school now, and busy with their studies. Sasuke was helping Naruto with his studies since the beginning of their 3rd year.

Sasuke was spartan when he tutored so their other friends always ditched them. Leading to just the two of them to have study nights almost every day. Sometimes Sasuke stayed over at Naruto's and other times Naruto did.

Since their 2nd year, they'd been staying over at each other's for projects or just gaming. Sometimes for no reason too. So, they were used to it by now.

Though at first Sasuke was super nervous, now it was like a second home for him. It was the same for Naruto as well.

Sasuke never asked Naruto what he felt for him, not even once. He just waited like that the blonde wanted him to. It wasn't difficult at all though, Naruto always treated him more special than others, saying they were best friends. That in itself was enough to make Sasuke feel like he'd reached heaven.

Naruto was scared of starting something with Sasuke. They were already so close, he'd be damned if they started dating only for it not work out and they end up drifting apart. But it's not like he hates the idea of dating him. He liked it even. Sasuke was so loving, and made his heart thump loudly more times than he could count already. So he couldn't bring himself to reject him either. He knew he was being cruel to him by doing this  but he was just scared to start something that could break them apart. He wanted to be with Sasuke for as long as they lived. He didn't want to lose his best friend..

-Thud- A loud sound resonated in Naruto's room, he could feel the top of his head throb after coming into contact with a fatass book.

Sasuke hit him on the head with a math workbook.

"Ouch! What the heck, teme?!", he loudly retaliated.

Sasuke put the book down and pinched the blonde's cheek, narrowing his eyes, "Don't "what the heck" me and concentrate, dumbass. Who do you think I'm doing this for?", he said sternly.

"Shorry..", Naruto mumbled guiltily for getting distracted while they were studying. But still getting pinched he groaned and slaped his hand away, "That hurts!", he exclaimed, pouting.

"Hn..", Sasuke went back to teaching him and asked him to solve it himself after he was done explaining it.

Naruto scrunched up his face, trying to solve it. Scratching the back of his head, he sighed.
