Ok, so Im not a die hard fan. Im still a fan. Just equal opportunity. XD. Anyway. I enjoyed it. Its more realistic in some ways than many of the fics out there. As much as everyone needs or wants a little fluff every now and again, I dont think these two would be able to do that. Same with the rape situation that seems to run rampant. Sasuke's a bastard, but I doubt he would pull something like that. Just like I highly doubt the validity of the sex-kitten Naruto. Blah. Not to say that these fics are bad, they arnt, Hell, I enjoy them, but nonetheless. This was something I saw as being more feasable. Great job. Keep up the great work.

Much luv,
Nata

I'm a die-hard Sasunaru fan, but I can see your point. Liked it.

Well, admittedly it's not one of my favourite fics, mainly because I prefer fluff - or at least more light-hearted fics - to angst. And I'm also one of those fans who like the romance/relationship/whatever-you-want-to-call-it between Sasuke and Naruto to be... well, mutual. ^^; In this fic, even though Naruto has consented to a sexual relationship with Sasuke, he doesn't want it. Even though I think it's kind of sweet to think he would put aside his own needs just to make Sasuke happy, I don't like it. I want everyone to be happy. ^^; But I'm not going to say it's a bad fic or anything, because it wasn't. Just not really my type of fic. (Big difference.)

And so far as the sexual orientations of Sasuke and Naruto... I think most fans, particularly those with a taste for shounen-ai/yaoi, can easily picture Sasuke being gay since he never shows interest in girls. He could have practically any girl he wants, and yet he doesn't even spare any of them so much as a second glance. A bit strange for a boy in puberty, but you know... Sasuke's a strange kid. Naruto, on the otherhand, very obviously has interest in the opposite sex. His crush on Sakura, in particular. However, I could see him being bisexual. There is at least one male in the series that he was attracted to, for certain, and he considers him even more attracive than Sakura. ^~ (Okay, yeah... he thought he was a girl... but he made that comment to himself after he had already discovered he was a male.) And then his strange relationship with Sasuke... I would never go as far to imply a canon romantic or sexual relationship between them, but they obviously do care about each other very much and have a very intense bond. It's not a yaoi or shounen-ai series, so it's never going to take that route. But if it were, they do have the chemistry. They have much better chemistry, I think, than even most of the canon yaoi couples that I have seen. So, I guess the main reason I could see Naruto as bisexual is because of the intensity of his feelings torwards Sasuke. As far as I'm concerned, there almost as close to "gay" as they can get without actually being gay. ^^;
