New Year, New Love SasuNaru

Chapter 39: The Truth Pt1

Naruto Pov

Sasuke started making his way back to us. I felt my heart beating even faster. He looks amazing. I never thought I would see his hair up. Him looking all handsome and junk is not good for my heart. I grabbed the end of my sleeve and took a deep breath. I felt Kiba put his hand on my back and whispered in my ear. "Remember, everything will be fine. Take some deep breaths." I nodded and did what he said. Kiba is really a great friend, I'm so lucky to have him as one.

Sasuke came up to us and stood there with his hands in his pockets with a blank expression. I took another deep breath. "Hey Sasuke. You look really nice- no handsome- wait no! Great! Ugghh you look great." He looked over at me, gave me a small nod with a smile and said: "Thanks, you look handsome too Naruto. I see that you put it down." I blushed and touched my hair. "Thank you and yeah, I like wearing it down now. I love your hair by the way. I never thought I would see it up." Good so far. Just having a normal conversation like we usually do. I looked into his eyes and was about to speak but was cut off. "Hey Naruto, where's Sai? I thought you two would come together." I turned around to Shikamaru and shook my head. "He had something to do in town, but I think he'll be here in a bit." He nods and starts talking to Choji.

I turned back around and saw Sasuke and Kiba talking. I tapped Sasuke's shoulder to get his attention for a sec. He turned around and looked at me. "Umm... I'm going to call Sai real fast...when I get back do you think we can talk for a bit? I would really like too and tell you something.." He gave me a soft smile and tugged some hair behind my ear then caressed my face. I blushed. "Of course Naruto, I have something to tell you as well." My heart skipped a beat. Not now heart. Stay clam! I nodded and made my way to the bathroom to get away from the noise. Once I got in the bathroom, I took my phone out my pocket and speed dialed Sai's number. After a couple of rings it picked up.

Sai: (Out of breath) Hello?

Naruto: Hey Sai, everything okay? Why are you out of breath?

Sai: Oh hey, yeah I'm okay. Just got home not that long ago so I'm running up and down while getting ready. I'm almost done so I should be there in about 10 minutes okay?

Naruto: Okay! I'll see you when you get here then. Love you.

Sai: Love you too. See you soon.

I hung up and put my phone back in my pocket. Okay so Sai is on his way soon so before he comes I can talk with Sasuke. I take a quick look in the mirror before leaving, Still looking good. I walked out the bathroom and looked around for Sasuke. I saw him sitting at a table still talking with Kiba. I wonder what their talking about.

I walked over to them and sat at the table quietly until they noticed me. "Then I said to her 'Bros Before Hoes'" What?... "....You got slapped after you said that to her, didnt you?" "Yes I did. But it was worth it." I shook my head. "Really Kiba, you actually said that to a girl?" Sasuke and Kiba both turned their heads at the same time and looked at me. He rubbed the back of his neck and try to find something to say, but couldn't. I rolled my eyes and looked back at him. "Do you mind if Sasuke and I have this table for a bit? I need to talk to him." He raised his hands up and got up from his chair. "Say no more, I'll be on my way. See you guys in a bit." With that he left us alone at the table.

I moved my chair a little closer to him just in case I cant hear him. He glanced at me and smiled. That perfect smile of his that I could never get enough. I took a breath and spoke. "I'm sorry about what happened before. I shouldn't have yelled at you like that..." "Naruto you dont need to apologize. I'm the one who should apologize to you. I over-stepped my boundaries and I shouldn't have. I just wanted you to know the truth. I thought I was looking after you...but in the end I wasn't." "Sasuke... I always appreciate you trying to help me in anyway that you can... but somethings I have to do and find out on my own." He slowly nods and looks at the table. I got closer and put a finger under his chin to lift his head a little. We looked each other in the eyes. "Thank you for always looking after me Sasuke. You are the greatest person anyone could ask for and would be lucky to have you."
