The Special Bond They Shared ~A SasuNaru Love Story~

Chapter 3

"Even though we've been dating for three months already, he hasn't so much as held my hand yet", a random female classmate complained to her female friend.

Since they were seated not that far away from where Naruto was sitting, he unintentionally ended up eavesdropping.

"he's probably just shy right?", the friend seemed to counter.

"but he avoids me everytime I try to get close to him! I at least want to kiss him damnit!!", she exclaimed a little too loudly.

"Girl! Shush shush! Keep your voice down! What are you exclaiming so loudly for", the friend sounded panicked.

"But...", before he could hear the rest, he felt a pat on his shoulder and looked up to find Sasuke standing beside him.

"let's go have our lunch..?", Sasuke said in a questioning tone, tilting his head to the side.

Naruto smiled and nodded. They walked out of their classroom and onto the corridors when he suddenly added, "I wanna use the washroom too now so let's head there first please"

"Geez, that's why I asked you to come with me before", Sasuke shook his head, "It can't be helped, let's go to the one on the ground floor then, it's closer to the cafeteria", he thoughtfully suggested.

"Thanks, Sasuke~ I didn't feel like going when you asked. But now I suddenly got the urge to pee", Naruto said in the most casual of ways.

Sasuke laughed, hitting his shoulder with the back of his hand, "Don't say that so loudly"

Naruto chuckled. And off handedly thought about what those girls were talking about before as they walked down the stairs.

"Say, Sasuke, what do you think about kissing and stuff..?", He asked quite randomly.

"What's this about all of a sudden..?", Sasuke asked, a little taken aback, then gave it a serious thought, wanting to answer him honestly, "...I don't know, but I don't think I ever liked that kinda stuff. Ah, it's not that I think people who do it are gross. It's just that I myself don't want to do it cause It's not that comfortable for me, do I even make sense..? ", he tried to explain himself as best as he could.

"You're not comfortable with kissing..? Does it gross you out to think about kissing someone..?", somehow he could relate a little.

"No offense, and it's not like I'm a clean freak either, but the thought of someone else's saliva directly entering my mouth is just too disgusting", Sasuke cringed, confessing his thoughts as honestly as possible.

"Ohmagosh me too..! I always thought I was the weird one for thinking like this! I'm so glad there's someone I can relate to! We really are too alike Sasuke..!", he said, dramaticly hugging Sasuke's arm and leaning on his shoulder, snuggling into him and giggling.

Sasuke chuckled, "I kinda got the feeling that might be the case, when you asked me if I find it gross, I'm glad I was honest with you. I've never told this to anyone before", he smiled at him fondly.

"Me neither. Everyone else thinks kissing is a very sweet and loving action and always want to do it with someone they love but, it's not the same for me, so I just- I could never bring myself to say otherwise, honestly", he admitted, hugging Sasuke's arm tighter.

"I get it. Everyone around me always thought of it in a good light too. Even my own parents do it so openly- they're so freaking cringy- though I'm glad that they're  getting along so well", Sasuke said with a complicated expression.

"Sameee..! Gosh, that's exactly what I feel too! And I really thought I'd never be able to find anyone to share this with... Even though I know it's an act of love, I still end up feeling disgusted. I always thought there was something wrong with me for feeling like this...", he softly voiced out his insecurities, meeker than usual.

"Do you think it's wrong of me to feel uncomfortable too then..?", Sasuke questioned him.

"I don't! I don't think that at all! Everyone has their own likes and dislikes so it's okay to feel uncomfortable about something you don't like..!", he exclaimed then realized that it applies to himself too.

Sasuke smiled fondly, "You already know that it's fine, so don't feel that you're doing something wrong anymore. I won't either, since I know that I'm not alone. I'm really glad that you are the first person I got to share this with... I love you, Naruto"

"I love you too Sasuke. More than anyone or anything in my whole life", Naruto smiled right back just as fondly.

"I definitely love you way more than as a friend but I don't ever want to do something like kissing or beyond that, so I could never honestly tell you, just how much I really love you", Sasuke's sudden confession made Naruto blush for just a moment before he grinned happily and confessed right back -

"Me too..! I thought being lovers would be impossible since I don't like doing that stuff but-! If Sasuke doesn't like it either, and still loves me then- then is it okay to be lovers after all..? I want to be more special to Sasuke. Ah- I know I'm already very special to you but-", Sasuke pulled him into a hug, cutting him off mid sentence.

"I know, I know what you mean. Let's be lovers. Calling you a friend or even a best friend, won't ever be able to express how much I love you after all, you're just so precious to me, I want to let everyone know that you're only mine. Please don't let anyone else hold you like I do", Sasuke expressed not only his overflowing love but also his endless possessiveness.

Naruto laughed happily, hugging him tighter and nodding as he shed a couple of tears that flowed down his redish cheeks, "You're the only one that's allowed to hold me so rest assured, I'm all yours"

"I love you so much, Naruto. I'm only yours too", Sasuke ruffled his hair, holding him preciously. Naruto grinned happily, even his relieved tears having stopped already. They were just purely happy, and felt so complete, just as they've always felt but more.

"Ah- I forgot that I had to go pee", Naruto randomly added after a short while, completely changing the mood.

Sasuke laughed heartily. They were standing around beside the stairs, hugging as if they were home alone, even though they were still in public - P.S. some other students seem to have avoided taking the stairs after noticing them.

"Geez, do you gotta laugh that much?", Naruto pouted, then took Sasuke's hand into his own, "come on, hurry up! I really gotta go", he whined.

Sasuke let Naruto pull him down the rest of the stairs and onto the corridors, chuckling as he followed after him.

After reaching, he obediently waited outside for his lover. Then soon after, Naruto came out and they moved on to rush over to have their first lunch together as lovers - even though it was just at a school cafeteria it still felt extremely special. They couldn't have been happier to have finally accepted each other as lovers.

They always knew they loved each other way more than friends but it always felt a little less than 'real lovers' since they never felt sexual attraction for each other. But just knowing that it was okay to not feel it, and to know their partner feels the exact same way, was enough to make them realize, their love was nothing less than true love. The only thing they lacked was a way to properly express their overflowing love for each other. After all, they could only use their limited vocabulary and a few comforting hugs - that could barely express a mere percent of their love.

So I too am unable to find words capable of telling you all, just how much they love each other. But the one thing I can say for sure is that, they'll of course spend the rest of their lives together, Happily Ever After.
