Chapter 15 - Lulls
*
The morning of the last day was filled with group activities and silent contemplation. Last minute pictures were taken along with short walks of solitude.
Just as they were about to leave, their counselor pulled out several small pieces of canvas and then asked the group to dip their hands in colorful paints to impress their handprints onto the white sheets. They were told the sheets were for them to keep.
"It's a reminder," she explained. "This is evidence of your existence. You exist, therefore you matter. At the risk of sounding cliché... I hope you find peace, love and happiness."
The bus ride home seemed shorter than the one on the way to the center. Harsh afternoon sunlight conspiring with the smooth flow of traffic had rendered most of the students asleep. Naruto sat quietly alone while Sasuke was asked to sit beside Shino to review a few details concerning the trip.
He had tried twice to fall asleep to no avail. Even the soothing roll of the wheels of the bus on paved ground was not enough to inspire sleep. He spent the ride gazing listlessly at the passing scenery. The bright sunlight stung his eyes.
He jumped when Sasuke sat beside him, surprising him out of his semi-daze. A concerned look passed over the boy's face as he slid closer to him.
"I thought you'd be asleep by now."
Naruto returned his gaze outside the window. He felt the boy's body heat against his skin and his body suddenly relaxed. He was surprised to realize he had been tense prior the boy's arrival. "I couldn't sleep," he answered belatedly.
"We've only gotten three hours of sleep," Sasuke reminded him.
No, you've gotten only three hours of sleep, Naruto thought. I haven't slept at all.
He had lain with Sasuke spooned against his back with the boy's arm around his waist as he listened to the living breath and heartbeat of the other boy. Sleep never came. Even if it had, he wasn't sure he would have welcomed it.
He shrugged without looking away from the passing scenery, meaning nothing by the gesture.
"Naruto."
His breath caught at the sound of his name. Blinking in astonishment, he turned to meet the other boy's soft gaze.
"Thank you for telling me," Sasuke whispered.
A tiny flutter tickled his insides. He leaned his head on the soft surface of the seat's cushioned back. Sasuke had done the same and they stared at each other in stilled silence until a delighted smile tugged on Naruto's lips before it reachis eis eyes. He exhaled slowly, tension and melancholy draining away completely.
"Thank you for listening."
"Anytime," Sasuke returned with a small smile of his own.
"Hmmm... You guys sure are friendly back here..."
Both boys jumped at the voice. Naruto looked up just as Sasuke turned to greet the new arrivals. Kiba leaned into the space of their seat and gave each of them a measuring look.
"You sounded pretty friendly last nice, too.”
Their eyes widened a fraction at the subtle teasing. Naruto saw Sasuke's jaw clench and his eyes narrow as he himself prepared to challenge Kiba's claim.
Just before he could voice his retort, Shino walked up behind the grinning boy. He rested a hand on Kiba's shoulder and then slid it to the back of the boy's neck. It was an affectionate gesture, Naruto noted.
"Please d sta stand while the bus is moving Kiba," Shino requested.
"Yeah, Yeah. I gotcha. See ya kids later." He winked. His voice growing louder from the quiet tone he had used to tease them with.
They watched as the pair walked away. Shino's hand remained on the scruff of other boy's neck and then gradually slid down his back until he removed it completely.
Sasuke turned to him; the surprised and amused expression on the handsome face mirrored his own.
"Kiba and Shino?" Naruto asked, disbelief lacing his voice.
Sasuke smirked. "It looks like it."
They chuckled together and spent the rest of the bus ride pointing out certain hints they had noticed that indicated the pair was together.
In the middle of their discussion, a stray thought prompted Naruto to pause in contemplation. He hummed as he pieced his thoughts together.
"Naruto, what is it?"
The sound of his name coming from Sasuke's lips still surprised him. Before he could get distracted, he shook his head to clear the curious fuzzy feeling away and shared his thoughts with Sasuke. "So, if we can see all these hints… Does that mean people can see those same hints when they look at us?"
Sasuke sat back, a pensive expression on his face. After a moment of thought, the other teen smirked. He lifted his hand, the index finger tracing Naruto's cheekbones affectionately. "If they knew what to look for, I guess so."
A sudden rush of warmth curled in the pit of his stomach. Naruto held the feeling down. It threatened to rise as Sasuke's finger moved to run across his bottom lip, pausing to press softly on its middle. The boy's eyes held his own in a heated gaze, licking his lips unconsciously.
"Yeah..." he agreed absently.
He saw Sasuke's face closing in as his own began to lean forward. He felt heady, completely out of his mind. He could already taste the boy's lips on his tongue. His heart put pulsed loudly in his ears as a scant centimeter separated their lips. He tilted his head to the side, feeling their breaths mingling. Just a little bit closer, his mind whispered.
Ino's voice came from so far away. "Hey, we're almost home! It's my flower shop!" Excitement and awakening rustles followed her giddy exclamation.
He saw Sasuke moving away, but didn't allow the boy to move further. He leaned forward and quickly captured the retreating lips with his. Sasuke gave a surprised gasp but pressed forward to return the kiss. They separated and sat back, pleased smiles painting their lips.
"Geez we're like a pair of puppies in..." Love, his mind supplied. Naruto coughed distractedly and cleared his throat. He turned back to the window and left the sentence unfinished.
The weight of Sasuke's curious stare was heavy on the back of his neck, but Naruto continued to watch the traffic outside. Before he knew it, the school bus had pulled in front of their school and the excited voices broke past his hazy thoughts.
The group exited the bus in an orderly manner and eventually broke apart to begin their awaited trek home. A few parents and friends were waiting for some of his classmates and a few students gathered together to walk home.
"I'll walk you to your place," he offered suddenly, breaking the silence that had fallen between them. Sasuke quirked an eyebrow at him in question.
The ground suddenly looked very appealing to him as he looked down and kicked at some dirt.
"Umm... Never mind. I don't where that came from. I guess I'll see you tomorrow..." His eyes shifted from side to side underneath his blond eyelashes and saw almost everyone was gone.
"Sure. I'd like that."
He lifted his head at the understanding tone in Sasuke's voice.
"I don't want to say 'goodbye' yet either."
Naruto cleared his throat and looked away into the distance, puzzled at the strange feelings running through him. He felt reluctant to parts. s. As they began walking in the direction of Sasuke's home, he sifted through the odd feelings.
It has been a while since he had spent quite a long time with anyone. Sasuke and he were rarely separated during the trip. He always found himself gravitating toward the boy and Sasuke would often show up after being away from him for a short duration of time.
"It's funny isn't it?" Sasuke pondered out loud. "It's as if, I don't want to part just yet."
"Yeah," Naruto agreed, seeing the mutual thoughts swimming in the boy's gaze.
Silence settled between them during the bus and train ride and the rest of the walk to Sasuke’s home.
All too soon, they stopped in front of tall intricately welded gates and Naruto realized they were in front of Sasuke's house. The mansion loomed in a short distance; he almost expected for suspicious clouds to hover over it.
Sasuke pushed open the side gates. The hinges screeched and echoed across the empty front yard.
"Are you walking me to the door too?" Sasuke teased.
"Yup!" Naruto cheered, grinning as he pulled the boy through the gates.
When they neared the house, he saw a brief flutter of curtains in one of the front windows. He was almost certain there was someone watching. A lazy wind blew past, stirring the metallic tails of the wind chimes. The sound seemed melancholy to his ears. Even the windows of the large house appeared downcast, like it held a heavy burden.
He walked Sasuke to the door as promised. They stood in front of each other on the front steps, his voice suddenly deserting him.
"Do you want to come in?" Sasuke ventured.
Naruto shook his head regretfully, smiling to soften his decline of the offer. "I'm kind of tired actually."
"Alright." Sasuke conceded. "I'll see you tomorrow then."
"Yeah."
"Rest well."
Silence descended once more, only interrupted by the distant traffic and giggling wind chimes. Naruto adjusted the overnight bag on his shoulders, clueless as to how to end their eventful week.
"This is kind of awkward."
"This is kinda funny."
They spoke at the same time and laughed at themselves.
"I'll see you tomorrow."
"Yeah."
They waved their farewells. It was easier the second time.

The grocery store's glass doors automatically slid open when he stepped in front of them. A variety of smells assaulted his nose immediately as he perused down the aisles of the produce section. He bagged a few fruits and some vegetables and moved on to grab some juice as well.
Naruto found himself relaxing in the busy environment. He watched the shoppers as they flitted from place to place, checking invisible shopping lists in their minds’ eyes. Hard working parents stopped by to pick up that night's dinner. Kids his age carried their own baskets, looking around moodily. He assumed they were sent out to run an errand before they can come home from school. There were people dressed in business suits and women with painted faces and dangling jewelry. There were also those donned in worn away clothes usually the most comfortable to wear at home.
He didn't have to shop for groceries, his aunt did it for him, but when he came home from his trip, he found his cupboards and fridge bare. He actually enjoyed doing this for himself. He didn't quite understand why she still continued to do such things for him. She no longer had to. He was old enough to do it on his own.
"...Because of obligations, I guess," he thought out loud as he read the contents of a jar's label.
He grabbed a few cup ramen, a few other necessary food items and then headed for the check out lane.
As he passed by, he noticed how the light in the pharmacy section was so much brighter than in the produce section. A sign at the end of the aisle caught his attention. He looked from left then right as he weighed his options. Coming to a decision, he walked down the aisle and looked at the selection before choosing one of the items.
The short repetitive beeps sounded as each of his items was scanned. He could feel a slight flush covering his cheeks as the last item went into the bag. He paid for his purchases and stifled the urge to run from the place, feeling imaginary eyes on him.
*
"I'm home!" Naruto announced to the empty apartment as he closed the door after him. He kicked off his shoes and went to the kitchen with his bags of groceries. He grabbed a cup ramen and filled the kettle with water to heat. As the water took its time to boie pue put away the contents of his grocery bags.
Having put away the food, he stared at the remaining item in the bag. Just as he moved to reach for it, the demanding whistle of the kettle drew his attention away. He quickly poured the boiling water into the cup and frowned at the three minute waiting time. He hated the necessary three minute wait.
Naruto went back to the counter and grabbed the box out of the shopping bag. He tore thedboadboard flap open and examined the tube inside. Without anyone around, he didn't mind the blush that covered his cheeks.
He set the tube down on the table as he retrieved his ramen and mixed it with his chopsticks. As he ate, he stared at the item intently as if it would bite him if he dared to look away.
"It's not like I'm a damn innocent or anything," he reasoned to the silent table and plastic spatula on top of said quiet table.
"I've done some things I never thought I would." Several encounters with a certain dark-haired boy danced around his mind.
"It's a necessity," he concluded even as he wondered who exactly he was trying to convince.
He grew silent and groaned as his cheeks burned.
"Man, it's just lube!!!"
His blush intensified.
"Why am I stressing over this?"
Releasing a frustrated sigh he grabbed the tube and squeezed some out onto his finger. He smeared the clear gel on his fingertips and groaned at the sudden strong desire to use it.
Naruto gulped and stared down at his crotch. Shaking his head to clear away the distraction he placed the tube back on the table and finished his dinner.
