Homophobe X Heterophobe -A SasuNaru Fanfic-

Chapter 6

"Sasukeee, Temeee, to think you were my friend on AL for three years now!", Naruto greeted him with a slap to the back of his shoulder.

Sasuke narrowed his eyes at him, "Ouch, dobe, that hurts... And try to log in early today, I wanna go on more raids since we couldn't yesterday", Sasuke stated casually.

"Gotcha, I'll log in right after going back then", Naruto said cheerfully.

"Hn... Actually, wanna come over and log in at my place instead..? I've never had any real life gamer friends before so...", Sasuke admitted, awkwardly scratching his cheek.

"Hmm. I'd honestly love to, but are you sure..? Won't you be uncomfortable since I swing that way..?", Naruto had never visited another guy's house before, so honestly this was a little nerve-wracking for him too. But he didn't want to make it obvious yet so he tried to hide it. (He was close to his middle school gamer friends but he never went over to hang out at their house, they usually hung out at game centers or internet cafés, or just logged in from their own houses)

"Not really, since it's you", Sasuke said confidently.

Naruto sweatdroped with a smile. He couldn't help but think that Sasuke was trusting him too carelessly. But it made him really happy. He wanted to do everything to see through he doesn't break that trust.

"Then, I'll be in your care", he said politely and grinned.

"Hn, likewise", Sasuke smiled lightly, looking away.

Right after school ended. Naruto walked back home with Sasuke for the first time - not to mention to Sasuke's home.

He was nervous to say the least.

"What are you so nervous about..?", Sasuke questioned confusedly, noticing it right away.

Naruro sweatdroped at being caught right off the bat. But tried to explain himself as honestly as possible, "Well, how should I put this-? It's actually my first time going over to another guy's house so... Sorry for being uselessly nervous", Naruto admitted rather shyly.

"For real, I'm sure you introduced me to some guys on AL, saying they were your friends IRL..? I thought for sure you were close with them", Sasuke said in surprise.

"Hm, we're close, but... They're straight you know, and I'm heterophobic. They're really nice but, I just didn't feel comfortable enough with them I guess, So when they asked to hang out at their place sometimes I always refused. They eventually just understood I wasn't comfy with it so we only ever hung out at other places outside", Naruto admitted sheepishly, sounding a little guilty.

"Eh? Then are you sure you're really fine coming over to my place?!", Sasuke asked worriedly.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, just a little nervous is all", Naruto said as he chuckled lightly.

"I.. I definitely won't do anything that will make you uncomfortable! But tell me honestly if you're not okay, alright? ", Sasuke said seriously.

Naruto blushed a little, looking away. It bothered him a bit that his heart ended up skiping a beat for Sasuke again but he tried to ignore it, "...Thanks", he muttered in a whisper.

"Hn, it's fine", Sasuke muttered right back, feeling a little shy himself after seeing Naruto's reaction.

They walked the rest of the way to Sasuke's house in an unusually comfortable silence - even though they were always so talkative with each other.

After reaching, Sasuke mentioned that both his parents and his elder brother were working so they're usually back home late. And Naruto felt just a bit more nervous knowing this but still casually tried to comment about how it's surprising that Sasuke was someone's younger brother.
