Being Right

Sasuke couldn't sleep. He'd been tucked away, under his sheets, staring at the front entrance of the house for hours it seemed. Only about ten minutes ago, did he feel the rush emotions of him and Naruto's heated exchange before settling down. But it'd been hours... He was sure the sun would rise within the next one. He didn't want to concern or worry himself about Naruto. He was old enough to make his own decisions or walk his own path. So what if he'd not come back to the house after Sasuke walked away from him.

A sharp pain shoots through his chest, causing him to wince in pain. That was the fourth time in the last few hours that that had happened. It was no coincidence anymore. Every time he thought about him walking away from Naruto, his heart shot a pain through his entire being. It felt like his heart had given up the will to keep beating. He'd felt a similar pain before... Like the first time he walked away from Naruto... The last time he'd tried to kill him. His eyes blurred with the pain, but he tried to keep focused on the door in front of him. He didn't know what he would do once Naruto decided to walk in... It was a mixture of wanting to punch the living daylights out of him, but also hold him so close, feeling every inch and curvature on his body. His complicated range of emotions was no help in this moment. He still didn't know where Naruto was... Maybe he was too ashamed to come back to the house. Maybe he found shelter somewhere else, so as not to burden Sasuke with his presence. Maybe he was just an idiot and needed Sasuke to welcome him inside. Sasuke groaned. It was so frustrating having his mind overthink the situation. What he should do is just go to sleep and let Naruto be Naruto...

Sasuke rolled over, his face now looking away from the door and into the darkness of the abandoned house they found shelter within. He tried to shut his eyes, but every time his eye lids closed he could feel Naruto on top of him again. His lack of sleep mixed with his unstable feelings for Naruto, made him erratic. He tried closing his eyes again, except this time he could feel Naruto's breath warm his face, down his neck. His eyes shot open. It was pointless... Now, he was dealing with the numbing sensation coursing through his veins. He shifted again, this time, he was on his back, his eyes staring at the ceiling. His lustful thoughts towards Naruto were still on his mind enough to suppress the anger he felt with his answers after.

Naruto...

Sasuke grimaced at himself. He was such an idiot sometimes, but, then again, Sasuke was too. Of course Naruto cared for others... He'd wanted love and attention his whole life and he'd grown into getting it from everyone. Sasuke shouldn't have over reacted... Yet, at the same time, the thought that Naruto might forever suppress his feelings for Sasuke simply due to the already in place obligations the two of them had with others... It didn't make sense. Why would you make yourself suffer like that? Or... Maybe Naruto wanted to clear the air with Hinata before fully indulging in Sasuke's body... Sasuke sighed, closing his eyes. He needed to sleep. He felt his heart beat thump loudly as the blood moved down to his lower half, making him uncomfortable.

Sasuke opened his eyes. It was no use. He was still riding the feeling of his brief intimacy with Naruto... He didn't know how to move on from it. So, he turned to the side again, looking at the door of the house and just waited.

Another hour passed and still nothing. Finally, Sasuke was feeling a bit tired, his eyes drooping lower and lower each passing minute. He felt like the sky outside was brightening a bit, so he wouldn't have much rest, but any would be better than none. Hopeful, he let his eyes close and exhaled deeply...

"Sasuke..." Sasuke heard his name echo through his head, infiltrating his dream state. "Sasuke..." He heard it again, clearer this time. The feeling in his body came back and his eyes slowly opened, allowing the morning daylight to wake him up. Beside him, Naruto was sitting, one of his hands on his shoulder. Unlike how Sasuke felt, Naruto looked as though he'd gotten a full nights sleep. It ticked Sasuke off.
