double date:

it was a double date.

sasuke had originally planned it for just him and naruto, he would take him wherever the blond wanted to go. then at the end of the night, when he would drop naruto off at his apartment, he planned to ask him to officially be his boyfriend.

but, when he opened the door, there stood sakura and ino, a guilty looking naruto behind them. he scratched his cheek, a blush coating his tanned face.

"sorry, sasuke," he began to apologize, "they wouldn't leave."

sasuke put on a smile for the blond, stepping out of the way as the two girls giggled and began to walk in front of them. he closed the door behind naruto, he patiently waited for naruto to lock his door before grabbing his hand and intertwining their fingers.

the two girls in front had their arms linked, faces close as they laughed at whatever they were talking about.

sasuke looked at naruto, his eyes going up and down. he was wearing a pair of sasuke's purple cargo pants. he blushed that the blond liked wearing his clothes, he would happily give him more. naruto wore one of his white shirts and the nine tailed fox necklace over the shirt for everyone to see. sasuke squeezed his hand and pulled naruto closer, both giving shy smiles to one another.

sasuke wore his purple ripped jeans along with a white shirt too. and both were wearing matching evo t200 shoes that sasuke had bought both them.

they planned their outfit for today, naruto really wanted to match with sasuke and the male had no disagreements or complaints. if naruto wanted it, he got it.

they've been on a few more dates, they've hugged and held hands and even cuddled. but they never kissed on the lips. they would kiss each other's cheek or forehead or the back of their hands/wrist, anywhere but the lips. the two realized it wasn't the right moment.

they stopped in front of the outlet mall, sasuke let a small smile show as he felt naruto's energy radiate around him.

he was brighter than the sun. and sasuke basked in his warmth.

the two girls immediately separated, leaving the two boys. sasuke was confused, he thought it was a double date.

"c'mon sasuke, teme, hurry before they realize we aren't following them."

sasuke chuckled, letting naruto drag him to whatever store he wanted. he felt a very strong feeling towards naruto and he couldn't wait to be able to verbally express it. he couldn't wait to put a word to that feeling.

"ooh- let's go in here!" naruto pulled him into the store so fast he didn't even get to read what the store was named.

sasuke sighed through his nose, content washing over him. he kept his eyes on naruto as the male ignored every look and he ignored every whisper.

"can you try this on?" naruto held up a pink shirt to sasuke's chest and torso, pursing his lips. "yeah, this seems your size."

sasuke grimaced, "is this a joke?"

naruto gave him a teasing smile, "depends on how the color looks on you."

sasuke sighed, unlatching his fingers from naruto's fingers and grabbing the pink shirt. "there's no way pink will look good against my skin tone." he mumbled.

he went to the dressing room, holding the shirt to his chest in front of the mirror. this had to be some sick joke naruto was playing on him.

he took off his white shirt and put the pink shirt on, turning slightly to see that it looked even brighter than it did on the back.
