Not So Typical (under revision)

Chapter Six: Answers

Sasuke was the first to wake the next morning. The sunlight falling through the gap in the dark blue curtains to rest in a golden glow on Naruto. It caused the hair of the younger one to shine a little brighter and seem more...peaceful. Sasuke watched the sleeping male next to him, almost completely transfixed with the current appearance. Naruto seemed so innocent laying there in his realm of dreams. It made Sasuke wonder what kind of things went on in the blondes dreams. As if being thought about had stopped his dreaming, Naruto opened his baby blue eyes to look up into Sasuke's obsidian ones. The raven quickly averted his eyes, feeling weird that he had been caught staring at his friend.

"Morning." Naruto muttered sleepily, his face half in the pillow and a smile gracing his lips. Sasuke nodded and shifted to get up. A tightening feeling in his stomach and a mental want to never move from that spot almost made him stay. Almost made him keep Naruto home and not make them go to school today...

"We should get going. We have to get to school soon."

Naruto groaned but got up as he was told. Sasuke marched to his closet and threw a set of clothes at Naruto who looked at him confused.

Sasuke rolled his eyes, "or you can wear what you did yesterday?"

Naruto shook his head wildly and quickly changed, causing Sasuke to whip around facing the opposite way with a blush on his face so prominent that he almost appeared a tomato. The dark colors looked strangely appealing on the blonde. The dark blue shirt making his sun kissed skin look a little tanner, and his blue eyes a little brighter. The sleeves stopped mid-arm, three-quarter sleeves. The black jeans hugged him in all the right places too. Sasuke almost wished he hadn't turned to look. It was extremely attractive. Naruto was fiddling with the sleeves and looked up at Sasuke who had changed into an all black outfit as he always did.

"I feel weird..." Naruto muttered grabbing his bag and walking out. The bluntness of the statement startled Sasuke into a laugh before he followed after. The two boys made their way downstairs where they both scarfed down a bowl of cereal, seeing as they were going to be late.

----------------------

Whispers followed Naruto the rest of the day. Wherever he went. The sleeves made him feel exposed, old scars making their appearance and seeing light for the first time in three years.

It wasn't just that though. The talk was mainly about Sasuke. How the raven had taken Naruto in and Naruto was wearing his clothes. Naruto just ignored it and continued with his life, ducking to hide his face under his blonde bangs. Sasuke bumped into him then. He could tell by the scent that seemed to swarm Sasuke wherever the raven went. That and Naruto saw his shoes.

"Dobe, careful." Sasuke said resting a hand on Naruto's shoulder to keep the blonde from falling backwards. The words that came out of Sasuke's mouth weren't insulting sounding, more like a simple nickname he thought nothing of no matter what it meant.

"Teme..." Naruto muttered righting himself and looking up at Sasuke's face.

"You doing okay?" Sasuke asked walking with Naruto to the class they both shared together. Naruto nodded, "No death threats yet. So yeah pretty good actually."

Sasuke smiled to himself, he wasn't sure if it was even voluntary at this point.

"Good. I was wondering... Wanna hang out again after school? Get something to eat?"

Naruto nodded, "Sure, but can we leave at lunch. When I'm not fearing for my life...school is pretty boring."

A small snort left Sasuke lips and he nodded. Naruto smiled. Happy he had amused Sasuke.

"Alright. It's Friday after all so I don't see why not..."

Naruto jumped up in the air a little and gave a small cheer, "Thanks Sasuke! You're the best!!"

Without thinking Naruto slipped closer to the raven and stood tall enough to kiss the pale cheek of the other male. Naruto quickly scampered into the classroom and took a seat on his desk leaving Sasuke in the hall. The Uchiha was locked in a daze, his smooth pale cheeks dusted with pink and tingling slightly where Naruto's lips had been a second ago, as if his nerves had saved the memory of the feeling. It only took the harsh glare of the bell to bring Sasuke to his senses enough to slip into he classroom before he could get into trouble.

-------------------------

Sasuke took Naruto to his Favorite place at lunch. Ichiraku ramen. Of course this scored him major points with the younger blonde. After finishing their meal the two had gone to the park to hang around under the shade of the tall trees. Before long hours had gone by and it was getting dark quickly. Uchiha walked Uzumaki home and he lingered on the doorstep while Naruto opened the door.

"Hey Naruto? C-Can I try something?" Sasuke asked his stomach twisting in bundles and making him feel like maybe this wasn't a good idea after all?

"Sure?" Naruto responded feeling uneasy himself at the tone in Sasuke's voice as the raven took a few steps closer. Both boys had a blush on their cheeks at their closeness but neither took any action to increase the distance. Sasuke's face hung slightly above Naruto's making the blonde have to look up at him slightly.

Taking a deep breath, Sasuke leaned forward a little more and rested his left hand on the back of Naruto's head and the other on his waist. Naruto's blush deepened and he found himself leaning into Sasuke.

Both hesitated for a moment, and then it happened all at once. Naruto stepped up on his tiptoes and smashed his lips against Sasuke's. Gripping the taller one's shoulder to keep his balance. Sasuke closed his eyes and kissed back. The two stayed like this for a long time, well until air became a problem.

Panting lightly Naruto looked up at Sasuke, "I can answer your question now...We are much more than friends."

"You heard me?" Sasuke asked surprised. Naruto nodded and hugged Sasuke. Tucking his head under the taller one's chin.
