Opposites Attract [sasunaru]

Something Special

A couple days passed of the two training their ass of as they laid panting under a tree due to chakra exhaustion. The two have spent days trying to climb higher and higher up the tree, with much failure, but they were determined to get all the way to the top.

Sakura, who completed hers a couple days ago, was inside with Tsumani helping with dinner while Sasuke and Naruto continued to work. The dark sky was making it hard for either of the exhausted ninja to see their progress as the two looked at each other. Naruto smirked as he laid next to the tired raven.

"I'll get to the top first, teme," Naruto said as he struggled to stand.

Sasuke scoffed at his comment and replied, "you wish, dobe."

Naruto felt a little lightheaded due to exhaustion, but he didn't care. He took a couple steps back and focused his chakra as Sasuke watched. Naruto dashed up the tree, making it higher then he has ever climbed before and marked the tree. But since Naruto was close to chakra exhaustion, he lost his balance and and fell, plummeting down from the tree.

Naruto let out a scream as he fell from the top of the tree, gathering Sasuke's attention. Sasuke looked up at the blonde to see him falling as his eyes widened.

"Fuck," he cursed quietly and ran under Naruto with his arms out, preparing to catch the falling idiot. Naruto squeezed his eyes shut as he prepared himself for the rough impact of the ground, but he never felt it. Sasuke, on the other hand, grunted as Naruto landed in his arms from falling off the tree. Naruto slowly opened his eyes when he didn't feel the pain of hitting the floor and looked up at Sasuke.

"Jeez dobe... you over worked yourself. Though, i'm not too surprised since your are an idiot..." Sasuke grumbled as he held Naruto close to his chest protectively. Naruto looked up at him as a familiar memory appeared in his mind.

Naruto remembered when the two first graduated from the academy and they went out for ice cream at the park. And Naruto, stupidly enough, chased a squirrel up a tree, only to fall down moments later into Sasukes arms. Naruto blushed at the memory and got out of Sasuke's arms.

"Thanks teme," he mumbled embarrassingly. Sasuke just crossed his arms and scolded him more as Naruto rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly as he listened to the raven's scolding.

"SASUKE! NARUTO! COME EAT BEFORE I BEAT YOUR ASS!" Sakura yelled from the doorway of Tazuna's home, getting the two's attention. Naruto, not wanting to face Sakura's wrath, ran inside with an annoyed raven behind him. The two sat down and thanked Tazuna and Tsunami for the food before scarfing it down.

Seconds later, the two raised their bowls at the same time and yelled, "we would like seconds!"

Sakura glared at the two as Kakashi just ate like it was normal... which it was. Naruto suddenly put his bowl down and leaned over to the side and held his stomach.

"I think I'm going to..." Naruto suddenly threw up, cutting himself off. Sasuke felt himself also get sick and threw up as well.

"Don't eat so fast if you're just going to throw it all up!" Sakura yelled at the two as he clenched her fists. Naruto and Sasuke apologized before eating again more slowly for the rest of dinner.

——————

After dinner, the blond and the raven were too exhausted to stay up longer with the rest and went to bed. Naruto practically collapsed onto the bed due to exhausting as Sasuke chuckled at his actions. Sasuke climbed into bed next to him and watched him peacefully sleep.

The moonlight from the widow casted a glow onto his face, making his features pop in the cold night. His sun kissed tan skin glowed in the moonlight, his blond spikey hair flowing softly in the chilly wind, his ocean blue eyes covered by his delicate eyelids, and his three signature whisker marks on either side of his face.

Sasuke felt his face heat up as he admired the sleeping boy's facial features. His heart began to thump loudly in his chest as he continued to stare at the beautiful boy.

Sasuke's heart was thumping super fast and loud as he got up from bed and dashed out the room. He ran into Sakura's bedroom and opened the door with a flushed face and ran to her side.

"Sakura wake up!" He asked in a loud whisper. She grumbled but slowly opened her eyes. When she noticed Sasuke and his flushed face, she pouted.

"What the hell do you want right now..." she grumbled and sat up slowly, looking like she woke up from hibernation. Sasuke took a deep breath to try and calm himself down.

"I'm getting these strange feelings for Naruto again..." Sasuke mumbled embarrassingly. Sakura sighed and rubbed her eyes.

"Ok... tell me about it," she offered as she yawned tiredly. Sasuke blushed and sat down next to her in bed.

"Well, Naruto was tired so he fell asleep relatively fast and I stayed awake... but as I watched him... I guess I just admired his featured more and I got this really weird feeling and ran here for help," Sasuke explained with little detail. Coming to Sakura for help was embarrassing enough. Sakura raised an eyebrow at his words, "kami, Kakashi is rubbing off on you, pervert. Why the hell were you watching him sleep?"

Sasuke blushed embarrassingly at her words and replied, "You know what I meant! Now help me with these odd feelings before punch you..."

Sakura smiled sheepishly before hesitating for a minute as she thought of a way to help Sasuke realize his feelings...
"Why do you think you feel this way?" She asked and stared at him.

Sasuke paused for a moment as he thought. 'Why do I feel this way?... he just makes me feel so warm and calm. How would someone describe that...? Is it friendship? No. It's more then that...' Sasuke thought. Sakura watched the internal struggle in his mind quietly and patiently as she waited for his answer.

"I think it's because... because I l-like him..." Sasuke admitted quietly. Sakura's eyebrows raised in shock as she heard him finally own up to his feelings.

"So.. you're finally admitting to liking him, eh?" She asked with a tiny smirk.

"Shut up and just help me out will you?" He grumbled with an embarrassed blush on his cheeks.

She rolled her eyes and replied, "fine fine... so you want my help asking him out?" She asked and crossed her arms as she sat up in her dark room. He nodded once while averting her gaze.

"Well... I can't help you out. Sorry," she said simply. Sasuke's eyes widened in annoyance and shock.

"Why the hell not?" He asked and crossed his arms as well.

"Asking Naruto out isn't something someone else can do for you nor help you with. These are your feelings. You need to find the perfect place and the perfect time to do it. What you and Naruto have is something special... so don't loose it, ok?" She asked with a smile. Sasuke paused at her words and thought. 'Something special huh?' Sasuke smiled, a rare thing to see on the emotionless raven, and thanked her.

"Thanks Sakura. You really helped me," he replied and stood up before walking out of the room. Sakura smiled to herself as she watched the raven walk out. He was finally accepting his feelings... Sakura has seen how much the blond changed him for the better and was so happy for the two. 'Those two are idiots for not seeing how much they love each other. Though, it is odd for them to fall in love because of how different they are... but you know what they say, opposites do attract...' She smiled wider at her thoughts before laying back down and falling back into a deep sleep...
