Sasunaru: All because of you

chapter 3: Realization

                                 Naruto's pov
It's been 5 days since Sasuke visited. He had ask me if he could come over again and I said today. It's a little awkward. I don't even go in my room. I constantly get reminded of what happened. I'm so confused. Do I like him? Do I love him? Or are we nothing more but friends? I can't decide. I need more time to think.
" Hey, Naruto. Should we walk home together? " I hear a monotone voice ask. Without looking I nodded. " Ok, it's a few minutes till 2:40, so you should start getting ready." Sasuke added. I picked all my shurikens and put them in the little pouch I had. I stand up and face Sasuke. It was obvious my cheeks were a little red.
  " Let's g- " I was getting ready to say before some pink haired girl grabbed me.
" Naruto! Can I come too? " Sakura asked me. I glanced at Sasuke and saw how miserable he looked. But, then I thought about what had happened a couple days ago. I felt it would be awkward with only the two of us and so I told Sakura she could come.
  The whole time we were walking there Sakura was either whispering in my ear about random stuff or trying to hold Sasuke's hand. She's been acting more weird...Around me. More excited to see me.
  We finally reached my apartment and entered. I threw my shoes where ever and saw how Sakura has looked at me funny so I picked them up at put them in the middle of Sasuke's and Sakura's shoes.
  " Want to head to my room? We can play gold fish or B.S." I say. They nod and follow me to my room. (Only time I will bother you but B.S stands for bull sh!t. It's a real game.) I noticed when Sakura sat a little close to me Sasuke moved until our shoulders and knees were touching. Sakura noticed to and decided to say something about it.
" You're too close to Naruto! Move away!"
" Don't tell me what to do, big head." Sasuke replied. He moved even closer. Which you would think wasn't possible but it was. Our faces were 3 inches apart. Luckily we were on my bed looking straight ahead to play on my coffee table. We played 20 rounds in about 4 hours and this is our score;
  Sasuke.                    Naruto.                         Sakura.
  8 rounds.                  8 rounds.                      4 rounds.    

 
" Aww~! Sasuke cheated!" Sakura whined. I laughed and gave her a soft smile.
  " I'm sure you'll do better next time." I assure Sakura. She blushed slightly and smiles back. I look at Sasuke and see he's mad. When he notices I'm looking at him he gets up and walks away. " I'll be back" I tell Sakura. Why is everyone always leaving me in an awkward situation?!
" You ok, Sasuke?" I ask when I go to him. He looks a little disappointed but still gives me a smile.
" Are you and...Sakura....A thing?" I'm a little shocked Sasuke asked that but a part of me feels happy that he cares.
" No. She has been acting a little weird around me since that day..." Although it had been 5 days ago it fell as of it was years ago.
" Oh. Sorry, I asked. It's non of my business anyways." Sasuke replies. I could tell he feels relieved. I wonder why.
  " Don't tell Sakura...But, I kinda have a crush on someone else." I don't why I say it. I just felt like giving a hint I guess. For some reason I feel he should know. But, of course I'd never tell him. I've realized I...I love Sasuke. So much for not liking boys.
  A little while later Sakura comes out saying she has to leave. Sasuke says so too. I decide to walk them home. Sakura's house was closer so it was just me and Sasuke after a few minutes. We didn't reach his house but he told me this is where he heads off. Before he could leave though I hug him.
" N-Naruto?" He asks shocked. I take a moment to respond. I go to his ear and whisper;
  " I think you're cute, too. See ya tomorrow" I break the hug and I could see his red face. " I got you this time" I say winking at Sasuke.
" Oh. OH! THATS MEST UP NARUTO! " Sasuke yells after processing what I had said.
" Bye, Sasuke~!" I say. He says good bye and walks away.  I hope he knows I meant what I said. I think out loud.
When i finally go to my house again, it feels empty. Without Sasuke or Sakura, it feels broken. Like it had felt without parents to love me. I never knew what it was like to have a mom or dad. Even though I'm used to it seeing other kids kiss and hug their parenting kinda makes me jealous. And then I think about Sasuke. He knew what it was like to have parents...Yet, they died. That must have been worse. I never had anyone to love me or I never lost anyone. I wonder how it must have felt. Sasuke.
   I lie on my bed for a few minutes, before, I decide there's something I need to do. I need to confess. I want to give Sasuke the love he deserves. And I can't do that unless he knows how I feel about him. I might not know what he will say or if he will reject me. But, I want to be there for him. I want to be that person who gets to hug and kiss him. Morning and night. I want to be the one who comforts him and and hugs him when he's down. He deserves to know. And he will. And of course that will be next week. I need to thing of what to say and what to do and where and when.
    I'm going crazy over a boy! What has Sasuke done to me?

This is all because of you, Sasuke!
