Philosophy of Love

This was by far the best day Sasuke has had since...he couldn't even remember. Sky's head was on his shoulder, their fingers intertwined. Sky had long ago fallen asleep though but Sasuke didnt mind. He knew the boy wouldnt find plays all that interesting he was, although, glad he tried to stay up for as long as he did.

The final line was said and the curtain drew and the cast took a bow. Sasuke nudged the boy to his left. Sky woke up with a jolt. “I wasnt asleep...” He rubbed his eyes and stretched. Sasuke chuckled and stood up.

“Sure you weren't.” Sky flipped him off as a reply.

“What time is it?” He asked as he stood up as well, following Sasuke to the exit while moving around the crowds of people.

“It's nearly mid-night.”

“Shit...”

“What?”

“I...kinda have a curfew...”

“Aren't you nineteen?”

“Yeah....but my dads crazy overprotective of me...I'm surprised he hasn't called me yet...”

“Thats too bad...I was going to ask if you wanted to stay at my place tonight since your house is kind of far from the theater...” Sky froze for a few seconds.

“S-stay at your place? Like for the night?”

“Yeah.” Sasuke looked bad at him over his shoulder. “I'd take you home in the morning. But since you can't...”

“Hold on!” Sky interrupted. He started dialing a number as they both exited the large doors and made there way to the car. “Dad? Dad! Yeah. No I'm okay. I was...at a play. No Im not joking! I know I'm late. Say dad...can I stay at a friends house? Sasuke...You have met him. You ran into him earlier. Yeah him! No! He's like...twenty two? I do know! I just cant think of it right now! Please dad! Because your smothering me and I've never even spent the night at anyones house!”Sasuke stood a couple feel away and observed the conversation. Sky's arms flailing, slightly pouty face. “I'll be back in the morning. Yeah I promise! Okay bye”

“You can go?”

“Uh huh!” He grinned at the raven.

“Lets go then.” He grabbed Sky's hand and lead him to the car.

Naruto sat on the couch alone in the dark watching scrubs, a tub of ice cream in hand along with a dazed look on his face. The door swung open and Naruto perked up. 'Sasuke's home!'

He was about to get up and welcome the raven but noticed he wasn't alone. Thin arms were wrapped around the ravens waist and they were both laughing and stumbling. The blond quickly shrunk back into himself and pretended to be invisible.

“Your place is so nice!” Sky said as he looked around, arms still around Sasuke waist.

“Thanks.” The raven said slowly as his eyes darted over to Naruto who was trying his hardest not to look over at the two. “Say, why don't you wait in my room for me. I need to talk to Naruto.”

“Oh sure...” Sky looked over at the blond, feeling guilty for not noticing him till now. “Should I say hi?” He asked quietly.

“I don't think so....Just wait for me okay?” Sasuke pulled the shorter male closer and kissed him on the forehead causing Sky to blush. “Down the hall to the right.”

“Okay.” With that he disappeared down the hall. Sasuke flopped down on the couch next to Naruto who had yet to acknowledged him.

“You okay, Naruto?” Sasuke looked at the blond who spooned more ice cream into his mouth.

“I'm better.” He stated with no real feeling.

“If you need someone to...” Sasuke put his hand on the blonds shoulder

“I'm fine. Go attend to your guest.” He shrugged the hand off and ate more the the ice cream.

“It's not good to keep it bottled up inside...”

“You more then anyone else has no right to tell me to let it out Sasuke!” Naruto glared att he raven before getting up and taking his ice cream to his room which was next to the kitchen.

Seeing that he wasn't going to be able to get through to the blond that night Sasuke sighed and got up off the couch giving his roommate one last look before going to his room.

'He's mad at me...why the fuck is he mad at me!? I haven't done anything...' The ravens brow creased as he opened his door and was greeted with Sky laying on his stomach in his underwear, briefs-Sasuke noted, messing around on his laptop he had left on the bed. Sasuke's slight annoyance with Naruto seemed to fizzle out at the sight.

Realizing the younger male had yet to realize he had come through the door Sasuke closed the door behind him making sure to make no noise and moved over to the bed and peered over Skys shoulder to see what had captivated him so much. 'Of course....That stupid ninja game...'

“Ready for bed I see?” He whispered into his ear causing Sky to jump.

“Huh?”

“Briefs?” He smirked causing Sky to blush again trying to cover himself up, forgetting the laptop.

“S-sorry! Its kind of a habit.”

“You sit around in your underwear at home?”

“Yeah, kinda.” He flipped himself onto his back and sat up, pulling his legs up to his chest revealing smooth thighs to the older male. Sasuke gulped, his throat feeling tight, he forced himself to look away from the very tempting sight.

“Well it is late, w should go to bed.” He could feel his blood rushing south. Hurrying over to his drawer he pulled out his pajama bottoms.

“You wear pajamas?” Sky said with amusement.

“Not normally...”

“Then?” Sky closed the laptop, setting it aside before pulling the blanket off the mattress and getting under the covers. “You don't have to if...” He chewed on his bottom lip.

“Well...If your sure...” Sasuke put the clothing back and closed the drawer before starting to unbutton his shirt and discarding it in the dirty clothes hamper. Next he unbuckled his belt and undid his pants letting them fall to the floor revealing his black silk boxers.

“Wow...” Sky said under his breath as he took in the sight of a topless Sasuke who was slowly heading to the bed. The younger male pulled the covers up to his nose suddenly feeling very nervous. Slipping under the covers he reacher over sky and turned off the light on the nightstand.

“We're going right to sleep?” Sky said a bit disappointed.

“You had something else in mind?” Sasuke turned on his side and looked at the younger male.

“No...not really.” He said mentally thanking the darkness so Sasuke couldnt see him pouting.

“Good Night.”

“Night...” Both males soon found themselves in asleep.

He hadn't got much sleep. Naruto stared at his ceiling, light fluttering through the blinds signaling that is was morning...at least seven am. He had been up for almost twenty-four hours and it showed. The heavy bags under his bloodshot eyes and his hair a mess...more then usual. Feeling as though he had been in the same position for too long he rolled out of bed and winced as his muscles and joints disagreed with the sudden movement.

Walking over to his door he peered out into the living room finding Sasuke absent which was odd since He was always up first on weekends. Feeling curious he walked silently down the hall to his room and cracked the door open. He almost gasped when he saw Sasuke laying on his back with Sky cuddling him. There was a sudden pang of jealousy and anger. He remembered when they had first moved here and Naruto couldn't sleep at all in such an unfamiliar place in an unfamiliar city so every night he would sneak into Sasuke's room where he could fall asleep, Sasuke didnt seem to mind. Every morning they would wake up like that. Naruto cuddling Sasuke. Naruto grip on the door knob loosened when he noticed Sasuke's eyes starting to open. The blond frowned and eased himself out of the room, closing the door softly.

Naruto soon found himself in the kitchen pouring himself some cereal when Sasuke walked out of the hall way wearing a black wife-beater and black basketball shorts. The raven walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator pulling out a carton of yogurt. He looked over to the blond who was staring at his bowl on the counter. Sighing mentally Sasuke grabbed the milk out of the refrigerator and set it by Naruto's bowl before pulling a spoon out of the drawer and heading into the living room.

Naruto was about to speak when there was a knock at the door. Quickly walking from the kitchen he opened the door, curious to see who was here so early. He was mildly surprised to see that it was Ino and her Boyfriend Shikamaru.

“Oh, its you guys...Some in.” Sasuke looked up from his yogurt and acknowledged his guests by looking at them in the eye.

“Morning to you too, Sasuke.” Shikamaru greeted dully before plopping on the couch beside him while Ino and Naruto took the seat across from them.

“What brings you two here so early?” Sasuke asked finishing his breakfast

“Well I got a call from Sky's dad and he asked me to pick him up. Something about an optometrist appointment...”

“Hey Sasuke do you have any extra--” All eyes looked towards the hallway spotting the subject of their conversation still only in his briefs trying to rub the sleep out of his eyes. Sky blushed profusely before ducking back in the hallway when he realized there were more people in the living room besides Sasuke. Shikamaru quirked an eyebrow Ino's eyes popped out before she jolted up.

“Sasuke Uchiha I told you I wanted my cousin to stay a virgin!” She pointed at him accusingly before dashing into the hallway to follow her cousin. Naruto frowned and rolled his eyes at the overreaction but was then surprised when he noticed that Sasuke was trying to hold in his laughter until he couldnt take it anymore. They burst out and Naruto heard something he hadn't heard in a very long time, Sasuke laughing. He should have been happy, he should have reveled in the sound but he didnt. He was grinding his teeth and he was frowning, eyes trained on the wall next to the hallway. Shikamaru's ever vigilant eyes took in the scene and soon thought it all the be troublesome as Ino had said on the way here.
