~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Another day ended and Naruto was on his way to the hotsprings. Today was normal.
Tons and tons of fighting between the three teammates. Well, most of it was directed
towards Naruto. As always. Because Sakura hated Naruto and Sasuke hated Naruto. Naruto
hated them both, but mostly showed his hate towards Sakura. This was true hate. The hate
he showed for Sasuke had changed. Over time it became something he still can't really explain.
Everytime Sasuke looked at him or if they were near eachother, he felt like moving away
or avoiding his gaze. But, he also felt like he was happy. Happy that Sasuke noticed him
or looked at him. Happy that they were near eachother. It was bitter-sweet. Both made his
heart pound. He sighed.

"Why me? I don't know what to do... I mean, Is Sasuke even like that?"

He stuffed his hands into his pockets and closed his eyes like he always seems to do, looking
like a fox. His head was filled with thousands and thousands of thoughts. Some he understood,
some he didn't. Questions, his own answers, and more. One thought that got him to open his
eyes was that maybe when he steps into the hotsprings, he'll feel better and all these
confusing thoughts will just go away. At least for the night.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sasuke leaned against the edge of the springs, looking up at the moon. He hadn't even noticed
he was here for so long. When he got there, it was late, but it was still light out. The day
was tiring. Sakura was the usual: clingy and annoying. Naruto was also the same: loud and,
like Sakura, annoying. Because of all this, he was left with a migrane. His head was still
in pain and he blinked up at the moon.

"What're you looking at?"

He looked down into the water, a slight blush on his face due to the heat. Naruto. That was
a name that seemed to have changed over time. In the past, when he thought of the name
"Naruto," the words that came to mind were annoying, loud, idiot, hyperactive, and childish.
Now, the words were things that sent a whirlwind of emotions into his stomach. Emotions he
had never felt before. Emotions that stressed him out to no end. He sighed and sunk lower
into the water. He was nuts. Even if, IF, he liked Naruto like that, IF!...Naruto probably
didnt like him like that. All this time he had been crushing over Sakura. But, that had seem
to pass. Now, Naruto didn't seem too fond of her, anymore. Besides, Naruto didn't like
Sasuke. There was no way on earth he did. They were rivals and friends, even though the word
"friends" never used to come to mind. It didn't seem to come to mind, now, either. Maybe he
wanted more than friendship, though. Maybe that's why "friends" doesn't fit in his mind.
He wasn't sure.

"Oh, yeah. Soon, I'll be in the water and everything will become clear. I can feel it."
He nodded, eyes still closed. He got a towel and pushed past the doors. He opened his eyes and
what he saw turned his face completely red. 'Sasuke...'Sasuke, indeed. Sasuke naked. IN the
hotsprings. RIGHT in front of him. Sasuke was only looking back with a mixed look. A look that
was surprised and... happy? Naruto blinked and soon Sasuke had his normal face back on. The face
that was emotionless and uncaring. The "blank face" that Naruto was accustomed to. The face that
so many girls squeal at. The face he had fallen for. Naruto closed his eyes and cleared his
throat. "Why are you here, teme?"
"Same reason you're here, dobe. To relax."
"Humph!"
Naruto was still just standing there. He didn't know if he should get in or leave. 'No way!
I'm not gonna let this jerk scare me off. I NEED this. I need to relax.' Most of that was said
because he didn't want leave because Sasuke was there, but he saved that bit for the denial
box. He closed the doors behind him and put his hands on his sides. "Close your eyes." Sasuke
only blinked. 'What?"
"I said close. Your. Eyes!"
"You've got nothing I don't have."
"Still! Naked is naked! Close your damn eyes, teme!"
Sasuke growled slightly and losed his eyes and tilted his head down, feeling that migrane
knocking on his door again. Naruto began undressing. As soon as he was done, he stepped in the
water. Sasuke, hearing the water, opened his eyes and looked up to Naruto. Naruto was looking
at him, too. Luckily for Naruto, the steam from the hotsprings covered up his blush. He wasn't
sure how he was supposed to think straight or relax with Sasuke right there. Looking at him.
Naked. "Wha-what?" he asked, wishing he hadn't stuttered when he said that. Sasuke arched
a brow. Naruto blinked, then just closed his eyes and leaned back. Perfect.
