It was a week after the incident. Both of the boys were very close, as close as lovers.
Sunlight peeked through the sheer curtains, wind blowing softly and the birds chirped in unison.
"Sasukeeee!" Naruto jumped up on the bed.
"Ugh..What." the other groaned in reply as he turned and put a pillow over his head.
Naruto jumped again and landed on him. His face on the pillow with Sasuke's head under.
"Its prom tonight!"
"Yeah, TONIGHT. Don't wake me up so early." He flipped to his other side, making the other fall onto the bed.
But Naruto was not giving up. Even though they chosen the suits, they don't need make up, they don't need their hair done, Naruto still wanted to be early. Very early. It's 10am!
Naruto hooked on to his arms, attempting to drag him out of bed. But Sasuke resisted and did not move an inch. The blonde blew his fringe up in defeat, it was more difficult than he thought.
He pouted, sitting on Sasuke's stomach, he put his hands on his hips.
As he loudly threaten, "Well, looks like he's staying in bed today.. I might as well go to prom with Kiiiiibaaa." He made sure to say Kiba's name loud and clear.
Another loud groan was heard under the pillow, he sat upright so suddenly, Naruto lost balance and fell backwards. Before his lower body could leave the bed, the raven grabbed his wrist, catching him right before his head touched the floor.
Naruto sighed in relief.
"I'm up."
Stated the hero.
"uh-huh, let's go eat breakfast!"
The hero groaned yet again..
During breakfast, the almost-lovers were carrying on a conversation.
"Hmm.." The blonde played with his ramen.
"Do you think tonight I'll look okay?"
"No. You'll look even better than okay."
"Do you think people will judge me then? I mean.. I'm a loser. And suddenly I'm going to prom with the school's most popular boy."
"No. You're not a loser. No one will judge you. If they do, let them be. As long as you're happy, that's all it matters."
"Will I be happy?" the blonde sounded more and more unsure. He started to feel nervous instead of excited.
"You definitely will." The coal eyes locked in with the blue sky as he smiled assuringly.
"I'll make you happy." He stretched his hand out to pat his love on his head.
Naruto smiled genuinely, looking at the hands that carry him above the world. Sasuke was his happiness, his protector. He was like a wall between him and the cruel society, the wall would block out and defend him from anyone who tried to hurt him. And there were many who tried. Naruto was so broken before him. He was indeed his hero, his savior.
"I love you so much.." Naruto mumbled while smiling at the thought of it. Not knowing he said it out loud.
"What?"
"huh? No-nothing!" Naruto blushed in embarrassment, even though they were close, none of them confronted the fact they love each other and should be lovers. And obviously, Naruto doesn't want to be the first one to admit it.
"I love you too."
'Ah shit! He heard me.' Naruto thought to himself embarrassingly, as he mentally facepalmed.
Naruto collected the plates, bowls and utensils and quickly dashed to the sink where he could be alone. Then, he facepalmed physically.
Arms wrapped from behind around Naruto, this caught him off guard and almost caused him to jump.
"Sorry you beat me to it. Next time I'll say it." he then placed a small peck on Naruto's neck as the blonde stoned.
"Thanks for washing the dishes." Sasuke walked off with a small evil laugh, he escaped washing his own dish!
Naruto was sent back to reality. That damn Sasuke!
Time was running out, they have to leave at 5. Naruto pictured the prom, with people laughing at him for clinging onto Sasuke. He squeezed the plate tightly, his palms began to sweat and knees began to weaken.
"Naruto?" Someone tapped him and this time he jumped and he lost grip of the plate. It dropped to the floor and smashed into pieces with a loud noise.
"I'm sorry!"
He quickly squatted and pick up the pieces.
"Don't," the taller male squatted as well beside him, holding his hand.
"I'll do it."
Naruto looked into his eyes. He never seen anyone looking at him with that much concern and love before. It made his heart hurt.
"I'll do the dishes."
Naruto nodded slowly, walking off to the bed, he landed softly. Was he just thinking too much?
Sasuke picked up the pieces carefully. "Ah,damn. To think today was a good day for me considering I didn't have to do the dishes."
He smirked to himself, throwing away the broken pieces.
After washing the dishes, he walked towards his lover while drying his hands on his black skinny jeans.
"Are you ok? What happened?"
"Nothing." the blonde was wrapped under the sheets, feeling safe from the world.
"Are you still worried?"
Naruto bit his lip and nodded slowly.
Sasuke kissed him on his forehead, "I was a loser once,"
Naruto looked at him with a surprised expression. "You? Don't lie to comfort me."
"When I was in first year, I used to cut. People noticed and made fun of me," he exhaled, grabbed the hands of his significant other.
"During second year, I realized many girls found me attractive. But then I saw you. And I found You attractive. You were my motivation and my only reason to stop cutting."
"But I didn't do anything. I didn't even know you noticed me."
"You were so happy, like the sun. You made me so happy. I've never seen anyone so genuinely happy like you, yet like me, deep under those smiles you bear the same scars I have on me." he kissed his hand.
"You were so broken, like me."
Naruto's eyes watered. Someone realized? Someone actually saw through his smiles and saw the scars he never wore? Someone actually realized he was hurt so badly inside?
Naruto dragged Sasuke under the sheets before they shared a warm hug.
Sasuke kissed him with passion.
"We as broken pieces complete one another."
