Sasuke's Point of View

I can tell that he does not believe me, but that is to be expected. I will just prove him wrong. I pull him into my lap and wrap my arms around him. He tenses for a second before relaxing into my grip. Kurama tells us that I should activate my sharingan and look into Naruto's eyes again. When I do I am instantly transported into darkness. I look around and see that Naruto is with me as well. Kurama is gone. I stand and pull him with me. I can see that he is nervous. I grab his hand and squeeze it reassuringly. His face gives off no emotions, but his eyes are grateful.

All of a sudden it brightens a little. Like we are in a tunnel. The brightness changes and the first memory appears. We walk closer until we can see what is going on clearly.

A little boy with bright blonde spiky hair can be seen slowly waking up. His bright blue eyes hold some excitement. He jumps out of bed and grabs a hold of a teddy bear. "Mr. Teddy! It is my birthday! Five years old today. I never celebrated my birthday at the orphanage. Maybe Jiji will come by." He hugs his teddy bear to him.

"Oh you were so adorable." I tell Naruto with no fucks given. Might as well embrace this new side of me. He shakes his head at me trying not to smile.

Naruto runs to his window and opens it wide. He spots a little boy with dark raven colored hair throwing shuriken at a tree.

My eyes widden in surprise. That is me.

"Look Teddy! Jiji said that is Sasuke Uchiha. He said he is talented for his age. I want to be his friend! Do you think he would be my friend?" Naruto asks the teddy bear. "What should I say? I don't want him to laugh at me.. hmm.. I know!" He yells as an idea comes to him.

"I'll say, I Naruto Uzumaki hereby request that Sasuke Uchiha become my friend!" He giggled. "That should work." He says with a smile.

"What was that?" I asked with a snort. Naruto glares at me. "I had watched a play with the Hokage and that is how they talked." He said with a pout. I leaned over and kissed that cute pout before pulling away. He was blushing but it was a success because the pout was gone.

Naruto stares at the teddy bear with determination. He changes his clothes, puts teddy in his jacket and runs out the apartment and down the stairs. He raises his hand in a greeting and opens his mouth to say something. Uncertainty is in his eyes. A look of sadness crosses his face and he lowers his hand.

"Teddy what if he doesn't want to be my friend. Everyone hates me. He will too." He sighs and heads off in a different direction.

I tighten my hold on Naruto's hand. I look him in the eyes. "I would have loved to have been your friend Naruto." I say gently. He smiles slightly and kisses my cheek. I had to force away a blush.

Naruto made his way to the park. A bunch of kids could be seen playing with each other. When Naruto asked if he could play with them they all turned hateful eyes to him.

"Why would we let a kid like you play with us?"

"My mom said he was evil."

"My dad said he was a monster and not to play with him."
