STARS

Tell me the truth...

The impact of the kiss was rough and harsh,Something that startled the blond and made him struggle.
Tanned hands pushing against the cloth of the others clothes got their strength to cut the contact of the embrace. Ending the passionate kiss with a hard slap to the uchiha's face.

"Na-ruto...."

Sasuke's eye's where wide as he could only stand and stare,a hand coming up to rub the now stinging red hand mark on his cheek. Naruto however,held his shaking hand as tears streamed from his eyes. Anger,Confusion,Sorrow and many other emotions mixing in the salted water that fell from his eyes and unto the floor below.

"Naruto.....I..."

Sasuke started but was cut short as the uzumaki screamed.

"Shut up!!"

Naruto's hand balled into an angry fist as he took a step back,away from the uchiha and out of his reach.

"What the hell is wrong with you sasuke!? Please tell me this is just your medicine!"

Disbelief filled cerulean eyes as the uchiha shook his head. Watching him sit down,Naruto stood his place and moved only to relax his fist. the shaking ceasing for now as his rage subsided and a mixture of worry and confusion took it's place. Why was sasuke acting like this? one moment he's normal,the next he's someone else. Taking a breath,naruto walked back to his seat and sat down,watching the uchiha who had now placed his head in his hands.

"Sasuke... Why are you acting like this?"

"Am i not aloud to act like this?"

Naruto asked only to get the sharp reply. Followed by a quiet and soft apology.

"Well... no,you can... but,it's just not like you. It's not how i remember you."

"People change don't they? Last you saw me was three years ago naruto.... I've changed... A lot... But i just don't know if it's for the better."

Pushing his hair back and running his fingers through the black locks as a gentle sigh left pale lips.
"Naruto,I'm just as confused as you are. I want to get out of here,this house,the village,The land. Though,I also want to be here... With you. I wasn't lying when i said i came back for you naruto. When i said i wanted to be with you."
Pain struck the uchiha's emotions,It wasn't a physical pain,but it hurt him none the less. What was hurting however,was his head; and his heart.
"I.....I'm sorry i kissed you, I shouldn't have done that; But i just don't know how else to show you... How i feel. About you."

Looking up to the other,charcoal locked with cerulean and the uchiha could only lift his head in surprise to the reaction of the blond. Tanned lips where stretched into a kind smile as naruto looked at him,making the uchiha blush only to realize that he had spilled his feelings out front to the uzumaki,something he never believed he would ever do. As charcoal eyes widened,naruto couldn't help but laugh gently before finally speaking and asking.

"Is that really the truth?"

"Yes..."
Sasuke responded with out hesitation. He hated to admit it but he knew he couldn't lie any longer.

"..."

Naruto looked down to the table and scratched his head,This was all just so confusing. One minute sasuke's an ass as usual,then the next he's spilling his every secret. Or,at least he was spilling every secret he could tell naruto and keeping the darker ones to himself.

"I don't know what to say."

The uzumaki replied at last when he had thought things over,He was still so confused. He wanted to punch the uchiha for kissing him,but he had also wanted that moment to last longer then he had aloud it. ' Great.... Now i want to kiss him.... And scream.' The thought left the blond with a pink rosy blush that he quickly hid as the other began talking once more.

"You don't need to say anything. Really. I just wanted to get that all off my chest."

"I know... But i guess it's ok. The whole 'i like you' thing... It's just kinda awkward. I mean i still see you as that dickhead you used to be,Always showing off how better you where at everything and always being the eye-candy of all the girls.." Naruto chuckled,looking past the uchiha to the window behind him,Memories of their rivalry flooding his mind,All the good days he liked to remember before the uchiha had left. The memories that soothed him when he cried at night and got him through hard times.

"You know... I really missed you sasuke."

Sasuke looked down from the blond,he felt a wave of shame washing over him. He knew he had caused so much pain to his teammates.

"I...."

"You don't have to say it teme... You dont have to say anything."

"I know."

Sasuke sighed,Unsure of how to proceed. He came to the village with the intentions of escaping with the blond under his arm. Now he wanted to stay. He actually wanted to stay,not only in the village,but with naruto. Sure the crush had started small when they where younger,but now his heart ached and yearned for the uzumaki. Though it made sense,Naruto was the only person who made the pain and rage that clouded his mind,the memories that filled his nightmares and the hate he had for himself melt away. The blond was his remedy. His everything.

"Naruto...."

"Yes?"

"I want to ask you something...."
