*Third person P.O.V*

"I understand, Naru. Here how about we take the long way back to the apartment, okay?" Sasuke asked, now holding Naruto's hand. Clearing his throat, Naruto smiled an ear to ear grin and nodded. "Good.. Now lets go," Sasuke smiled, as he got himself and Naruto off of the bench that they were sitting on and started to walk down the street.

Neither one of the boys said a word until about half-way to the apartment when Naruto finally spoke up, "U-um, Sasuke??" Naruto asked quietly, studying the ground.

Sasuke stopped at looked at Naruto.

"Yes??" Sasuke asked

"When, umm... I-I... actually you know what... never mind." Naruto stammered as he quickly turned around and headed toward the apartment again.. Sasuke grunted and reached for Naruto's arm. Sasuke then grabbed Naruto's arm and pulled him back.

"No. Naruto, tell me. What's wrong?? What did you want to ask???" Sasuke asked worriedly, stepping in front of Naruto and looking into his eyes.

"Its nothing... I promise, lets just go." Naruto said, again trying to brush past Sasuke, but not succeeding and running into Sasuke's chest.

"Please just tell me, Naru." Sasuke pouted. Naruto sighed

"I was just wondering what was going on with you and Sakura at the hospital, from before..." Naruto asked, twirling his thumbs around one another.

"Oh, umm... How about I tell you back in the apartment... Okay??" Sasuke asked lifting Naruto's head so that their eyes met.

Sasuke's deep pools of onyx black were boring into Naruto's shimmering ocean blue ones. Despite the uncomfortable aura growing around Naruto, he didn't take his eyes off of Sasuke's eyes, which were filled with love, compassion and caring. Feelings that made Naruto's insides feels fuzzy and his stomach full of butterflies.

After awhile Naruto finally nodded the reached down and started to hold Sasuke's hand again, walking down the street.

(I am a yaoi page break... YAOI!)

Hand in hand the two boys finally reached there destination, Sasuke and Naruto's apartment building. Naruto sighed with relief when he realized that his father really wasn't there.

Happily the new couple walked up the stairs to the second floor and to the last door on the right, Sasuke's apartment. Naruto walked awkwardly down the hallway and as soon as they walked past Naruto's old apartment, Naruto suddenly remembered a memory with his dad.

~Flashback~

~Naruto's POV~

"Naruto!!!" Minato yelled from the kitchen downstairs, to the shivering five-year-old blonde upstairs on his bed. The said shivering blonde got up from his bed and ran down the stairs to his fuming father.

"Y-Yes, father?" I stammered, not daring to look at my angry father in the eye.

"Where the hell were you!? I was calling you!" Minato growled as he picked me up by the back of my shirt and walking to the front door. "Well?! You little brat?" Minato asked, but I was too confused as to why Minato was going outside while it was raining. "Too late.. You shouldv'e answered me, brat." Minato said as he yanked open the door and threw me outside into the rain.

For hours, I sat out there in the down pour crying to the deaf ears of my uncaring father. It broke my heart. At the age of 5 I already figured out that my father didn't love me.

~End of flashback~

"Naruto!?" Sasuke yelled in my face as he shook my shoulders. I shook my head, then looked around me. We were still in the hallway right in front of mine and my fathers apartment. I finally looked at Sasuke, his eyes full of worry and sadness. A soft smile played my face, hopefully real enough so Sasuke doesn't ask any questions. "Naruto... Don't smile when your sad, especially to me," Sasuke said softly as he brushed my unrealized tears off my face.

"I-I have to go..." I said as I turned away from Sasuke and headed back downstairs. Once I was downstairs I ran. I ran to no where inparticular, I just ran. Away from my memories, that apartment, my father, everything. I just wanted to get away from there. l couldn't take it anymore. I have lived, died, had my heartbroken, and toward out.

After some time, I realized that i had been sobbing. Realizing this I had stummbled over my feet and fell down on the ground. And instead of getting up i just layed there and uncontrollably sobbed. A couple minutes later my sobbing calmed down and I finally looked at my surroundings... I was in a park I had never seen before. It was completely empty, the wind pushing the swings making the park more eerie than it already was. I slowly got up, still looking at the park. There was something about this park that seemed familiar... Not too familiar, but like I have heard about it.

Then, I suddenly remembered.
