Messy without a Doubt

Not again

Naruto walked behind Sakura and Sasuke he was watching them smile and bump shoulders together it was torture. Every step Naruto took he was so much closer to kicking Sasukes legs out from under him and watching him fall. He would laugh, he would be so satisfied if Sasuke fell.

Naruto was done, really he was tired of playing these stupid games Naruto could go out right now find a guy and laugh with him just to make Sasuke jealous but he doesn't want to. Does Sasuke not understand what he went through? Having to look at them is hard. Naruto clearly made his feelings known. Now Sasuke was walking all over them.

"Sasuke" Naruto hissed the closer they got to the one spot Sasuke went to after school some days. Naruto hasn't been to the cemetery in 5 months at least, maybe more he's not ready to face his mom and dad.

Sasuke stopped dead in his tracks and turned around, Narutos face was red, he was a pinch away from bursting into tears and punching Sasuke in the face.

"You still haven't been?" Sasuke asked a little emotion poured into his dull voice. Naruto was furious, this is whole day was absolute bullshit, just like Sasuke. Naruto wondered just what else he was going to try and make him do today.

There are still things Naruto isn't comfortable doing and he's tired of Sasuke trying to get him to go and do things. Maybe he just wants to sit home!

"Sasuke" Naruto fumed his hands curling into a fist. "Can I talk to you? I mean really talk to you." Sasuke slowly nodded his head and followed Naruto not giving a single soul another glance, he was worried.

Naruto and Sasuke for a bit until they were down the side walk far from the others. Naruto crossed his arms and tapped his foot, "What is your problem?" Naruto demanded.

Sasuke looked around and then at Naruto a worried look danced across his face until it was shadowed with a glare. "Whats your problem? Inviting your friends like that, you couldn't have just said no?"

"I didn't want to seem rude! You don't know what they've been doing for me. Why did you invite her?" Naruto hissed and angrily pointed at the pink hair girl.

Sasuke shrugged his shoulders, "I wanted to"

"Sasuke, I'm not playing this game. I'm not chasing after you anymore. I already did and I didn't like it. If you want to be with her fine but tell me. Now"

Sasuke looked at Naruto a repulsive look making its way he shook his head "Why would I want to be with Sakura?"

"The way you look at her says one thing and you're always touching her. You already know how I feel about you, why can't you just tell me. Tell me" Naruto insisted.

Sasuke walked closer and closer until the two were nose to nose.
"Naruto, I don't want to be with anyone else, I thought I was clear earlier" Naruto almost laughed, clear? No.

"How come you don't say anything then? You don't even touch me" Naruto whispered his voice cracking in various spots. When did he make himself clear? He didn't!

Sasuke put his hand softly on Narutos chin, his thumb gliding over his birth marks ever so softly "I didn't know you wanted me to, you never touch me either. Not even in a annoying way" Sasuke smirked when Naruto rolled his eyes and smiled slightly.

"I guess, that's what people call, miscommunication" Naruto whispered. Still he was trying to think of any sign Sasuke had given him, there wasn't one. But in the moment, he didn't want to question anything because he just wanted Sasuke.

Sasuke nodded and brought his face down closer and closer capturing Narutos soft lips. Naruto put his hands on Sasukes chest and grabbed his shirt, he missed Sasuke so much.
Sasuke worked his hands down to Narutos waist and squeezed his sides Naruto gasped and pulled away.

"That tickles" Naruto whimpered, he let go of Sasukes T-shirt he felt bad it was all wrinkled. Naruto rested his head against Sasukes chest and smelled him, Sasuke smelt so good, his warmth was something Naruto missed.

"You should have told me!" Narutos grin faded quickly and he hit Sasuke in the stomach with his hand.

Sasuke grabbed Narutos hand and held it, "I told you at the hospital that day" Sasuke muttered.

Naruto shook his head "You said you needed time, you said you liked me but you don't want a relationship"

Sasuke sighed he did say that but that was a while ago they've gotten closer and closer how could Naruto not see it? "I'm sorry, I guess we should've talked more" Sasuke ran his hand through Narutos blonde hair.

"You should've talked more. No. You need to talk to me more" Naruto wasn't joking in a good relationship you talk and listen and understand. That's what they do. They understand. They listen and talk, that's what Naruto thinks anyway. He's never loved anyone like Sasuke.

"We need to talk more it's my fault too" Naruto pouted. This is a relationship with two people Naruto knows its not just Sasukes fault. He's a big problem too.

Sasuke doesn't always talk, but Naruto doesn't always listen either.

"I will. I promise" Sasuke leaned down and kissed Naruto quickly once more and smiled at Naruto when he pulled away. Together again, this time it will be different. This time it will last.

"Different" Naruto whispered, "I like when you kiss me, and I like when you let me hold your hand and poke your cheeks" Naruto rambled.

Sasuke blushed and looked away this is embarrassing, Naruto laughed "I love when you blush, I love your hair too" Naruto put his hand in Sasukes hair and patted it down only for it to pop back up seconds later.

Sasuke pulled Naruto into a hug partly to shut him up, another part is he just wanted to hold the small boy. It's been a while.

Naruto was truly happy, and that happiness scared him. But it made him want to live that feeling was something special, Sasuke was something special.

"Where were you really going to bring me?" Naruto asked his face smashed into Sasukes chest.

"I was going to bring you to the cliff you like so much, and I was going to kiss you" Sasuke replied wrapping his hands around Narutos small frame tighter.

"We could've watched the stars"

"We still can"

Naruto pulled away from Sasuke and peaked around him, everyone was watching them he couldn't see their faces but he could tell they saw them kiss.

"No, we can't" Naruto sighed and looked at Sasuke. "Next week?" Sasuke smiled and nodded.

"Come on lets go back" Naruto pulled Sasuke back to their friends, the two walked in the front shoulder to shoulder not hand in hand, not in public. Sasukes dad is a big deal people talk, and Naruto is still scared, people are mean.

"You two?" Kiba questioned. Naruto laughed so loud it's been a while since he's laughed so loud and so proud.

"Yeah" He cheered his smile still sitting on his face.

"How could I not see it?" Kiba muttered, Shikamaru nodding in agreement.

"I guess we're good at hiding it" Naruto walked closer to Sasuke and smiled up at him, Sasuke just looked away a smile wide and clear.

"And Sasukes smiling? Whats going on?" Kiba exclaimed.

The group walked quite a ways until they all decided bowling couldn't be that bad. Naruto was excited he hasn't bowled in forever he was good at it. He always beat Gaara whenever they went. Naruto sighed at the thought, it's been a while since he's seen or heard from Gaara.
