Sasuke POV

I'm so happy that Kankuro decided that me and Naruto where going to share a room, I know it's so we're be able to protect Gaara but I want to talk to him and this is the best way, when I think back to when we where kids he was always smiling and acting like he was happy now I've come to the conclusion that he was faking all this time, when I look at him now he's so much calmer, I thought back to what he said after he found out who had poisoned Gaara "why would I go back to a place where I was unhappy" and it was because of this that maybe I don't have the right to change his mind, I walked into the room because Temari and Kankuro has wanted to talk to Naruto outside, it's nearly 10 minutes later when he finally comes in, I didn't want to go asleep just yet without at least trying to talk to him so I walked towards the window and stare out into the desert "I'm going to get a shower then I'm going to bed" Naruto muttered quietly before disappearing into the bathroom, I sat on the bed thinking how I can talk to him, the moment he said that we don't mean anything to him hurt....I never thought anything the dobe said could hurt me but hearing him say we were nothing to him, made me think have we already lost him

I was lying on my bed staring at the ceiling when he came out in only a towel I felt my mouth go dry, I pretended I was asleep so he wouldn't see me staring at his well toned body that was still wet from his shower, I followed as each water droplets ran down his well formed chest before disappearing into the towel "instead of staring at me Sasuke why don't you go asleep" he said bringing me out of my not so innocent thoughts, I looked at his face and found he staring at me with a raised eyebrow {damn he caught me staring at him} I thought trying to think of something to say "I wasn't staring don't be stupid dobe" I scoffed turning around so my back was to him hoping he didn't see the blush on my face, I heard him chuckle so I knew he had seen my face but I didn't speak after that

I heard him getting into bed and I waited for a few minutes before turning around again, I can't believe how much he's changed his body is perfect, it's hard being this close and not been able to talk to him about old times because he seems to just push them away, I know we hurt him but I wanted to make up for that, if only he would let me in. I don't know how long I was staring at him before I got up and just looked out the window, after I came back I knew it wouldn't be the same but then suddenly Naruto started to keep his distance from everyone even though he earned their respect, there where still a few people who couldn't forget that he had the nine tailed beast sealed inside of him, it was also funny how that was around the same time Sakura stopped trying to get my attention and left me alone, for the last three years all I've done is train to make sure I could protect Naruto even though I knew he would also keep on training wherever he was, I think I needed to do something with my time before I became obsessed with trying to find him but now he won't even let me get close to him at all I sighed slightly before going back to bed.

Naruto POV

I woke up just before the sun and found out that Sasuke was still asleep and I'd admit it to no one but I did watch him sleep for a few minutes as flashes of our childhood went through my head, I sighed to myself before quietly slipping out of bed and going into the bathroom to freshen up, it was only early so I decided to walk around the village for a bit "is there something bothering you kit" Kurama asked quietly "seeing them again is making me think about the past and the village, is it stupid to say that I miss them" I answered while saying hello to the guards on duty "no, it's not kit" I heard Kurama whisper softly, living on my own in the mountains is very peaceful plus I'm not hurting anyone, but then again people don't even know I'm there, I accepted it a long time ago that I would probably be on my own for the rest of my life and until I saw them again that's what I thought but now I'm not so sure
