"Sasuke" Naruto whispered.

Sasuke smirked as Naruto nodded, walking closer to him and shielding him from the pouring rain with his large black umbrella. Naruto wanted to go ahead and think that it was too late for that. His shirt, pants, boxers, books, everything, was soaked. But he didn't care, because if he said that, Sasuke would move further away from him and he didn't want that.

They stood there looking at each other in silence before someone spoke.

"Where's your umbrella?" Sasuke asked and Naruto was speechless.

All he could do was stare at those pale pink lips moving. "You could get sick." Sasuke said, with concern in his voice, sounding just like his mother had when he used to be out in the rain with his father.

Naruto nodded, keeping his eyes glued on the moving lips….that stopped. Naruto shook his head.

"What?"

Sasuke pursed his lips.

"I said: Where do you live now?....I remember you telling me you were going to move some time soon." Sasuke repeated.

Naruto began to panic. There's no WAY he could let Sasuke see what kind of condition he was living in right now. Compared to that fucking….fucking mansion Sasuke lived in, his apartment would seem like a closet with a toilet to the raven boy.

"Umm don't worry about it Uchiha-san, I'll walk by myself." Naruto said, with a faltering smile, starting to walk from beneath the umbrella. "Thanks anyways."

Sasuke shot his free hand out to keep the blond in place.

"What? Well…you're-wet and I don't want you to get sick." Sasuke reasoned, hopefully. "You know my house isn't far from here." Sasuke offered, letting go of Naruto and pointing with his now free hand in the direction of his mansion.

Naruto was so shocked he couldn't move, even after Sasuke let him go. As soon As Sasuke's skin came in contact with his arm, all else was lost. What a girl. Once again, all he could do was nod. So Sasuke wrapped his arm around Naruto to keep it from being pinned between them and to pull the blond fully beneath the umbrella.

Naruto felt his knees buckle from the arm around his shoulders, as they began walking again. He finally caught his bearings when it was too late and noticed that they weren't walking in the direction of his apartment.

'What the-' Naruto thought.

Soon they were face-to….wood, with an enormous dark oak door Sasuke was beginning to unlock. The large door creaked opened and Naruto absently wondered where his mind was the whole time they were walking there. He barely remembered which path they took.

Sasuke walked in, motioning Naruto to do the same and locked the door behind them, then headed for the elaborate staircase leading to his room.

"Wow. This is incredible." Naruto said.

"Too bad I don't have anyone to share it with." Sasuke said under his breath, but Naruto's sharp ears picked up the faint mumble.

"YOU LIVE HERE ALONE?!!" Naruto exclaimed, as he trailed behind the wincing Uchiha into his room, his tail flailing excitedly. "No butlers or anything?!"

Sasuke switched on the light and lifted the strap to his messenger bag over his head and dropped it on the floor by the door.

"Yeah....There are maids....but only when I call for them....I clean to pass the time, so I never need them, plus I can manage on my own." Sasuke said, gloomily.

Naruto dropped his wet books on the floor and took a seat beside them. Sasuke slid off his school uniform's blazer, looking over his shoulder back at Naruto.

Sasuke looked amused.

"Why are you sitting on the floor?" Sasuke said, without turning around.

Naruto looked around, and then down at his wet clothing, shivering at the coldness of the air conditioner in the house meeting with his drenched uniform.

"Because I'm wet." Naruto answered.

Sasuke shrugged his shoulders, stepping into his walk-in closet.

Naruto sat for a while not knowing if Sasuke wanted him to wait for him to come out, or follow him in. Naruto stood slowly, opting for the latter.

Naruto walked to the threshold of the door and stared. Sasuke stood, unbuttoning his white shirt, with no pants on. After he had fully unbuttoned it, he shrugged it off and turned to put it in the dirty clothes hamper, looking up and meeting the frozen gaze of his guest.

Naruto tensed on the spot, not being able to tear his eyes away from the flawless pale body in front of him. The blond hadn’t noticed when he had stopped breathing all together. Sasuke stared at the now blue-faced Naruto, speachless.

A visible dark red blush formed on Sasuke’s porcelain face. His dark, thinner tail immediately went to cover his genitals, not like he didn’t have boxers on. The raven pushed the now purple Naruto out of the door and slammed it in the blonde’s face. He quickly walked back over to the pants he pulled out and threw the dark green cargo pants on, along with a white t-shirt with the Uchiha crest on the back, like Naruto was still watching him.


Realizing that Sasuke had just slammed the door in his face, Naruto moped over to his belongings on the floor. He had completely forgotten about his being wet, until he sat down and felt the cool of the floor press his cold wet clothes to his dampened skin. The coolness of the water sent a shiver down his spine.

Naruto sighed.

‘ ……What the hell just happened?!’ Naruto thought frantically. ‘ Okay, I went to see if Sasuke wanted me to follow him, then I was faced with…WAIT A FREAKING MINUTE!!’ “WHAT GIVES THAT BASTASRD THE RIGHT TO SLAM DOORS IN MY FACE!” Naruto yelled jumping up.

“You’re in my room......dobe.” Sasuke said startling Naruto, who slightly jumped at the alluring voice.

Naruto made an appalled face and put his right hand on his hip, attempting at being indignant.

Sasuke chuckled at Naruto's cuteness.

Naruto was about to open his mouth and say something, when that soft rumble in Sasuke's chest vocalized itself storing itself in Naruto's memory banks, as he turned to do something on at the dresser.

He had chuckled again.

Naruto let out a high-pitched whimper and a heavy silent breath, shutting his eyes tightly and biting his bottom lip. The hand that was on his hip slowly snaked around to his lower abdomen and sank lower. Right before he got out of hand….or more into hand, he quickly opened his eyes to see if Sasuke had noticed his unusual behavior. Naruto was frightened. What the hell was going on with him? For that little bit of time he was lost, he didn't know where his mind had gone…..'What the hell was that?' Naruto asked himself.

Luckily Sasuke hadn't noticed the odd reaction Naruto was giving his chuckle, and had turned away, lost in his own thoughts. He came to the conclusion that that was the stupidest reason for someone to slam a door in their guest's face, and found it to be extremely childish, but used it anyway to cover up the fact that he was embarrassed and also slightly 'excited'.

Naruto blushed at his actions and covered it up by acting upset.

“Well if you would have closed the door, teme, then maybe I wouldn’t have seen you almost naked.” Naruto said, matter-of-factly. His ears flattened against his head and his tail swished from side to side in absolute chagrin.

‘He looks so cute when he’s mad.’ Sasuke smirked at the pouting blond on the other side of the bed. He just wanted to hop over it and hug him breathless…... ‘Hug him bre-…Snap out of it Uchiha!’ Sasuke scolded himself for allowing his affectionate side overpower him.

“Here, put these on before you catch a cold." Sasuke tossed the outfit to Naruto coldly, who caught them deftly. "Hope they fit.” Sasuke said, walking to his dresser to find his reading glasses.

"Yeah, I mean god damn, you keep this fucking house at negative zero degrees." Naruto told Sasuke, who smirked. "Fuck a cold, I'll get pneumonia up in here." Naruto said under his breath, walking over to where Sasuke was, placing his reading glasses on his delicate pale face in the mirror. Naruto and Sasuke stood in front of the reflective glass, staring at themselves, noting how everything about them, was the exact opposite of the other, down to their very tails. Naruto's skin was tanned and Sasuke's was pale. Naruto's ears were rounded and Sasuke's were pointy. Naruto's tail was thick and bushy, Sasuke's was thin and sleek. Naruto's eyes were blue and Sasuke's were of the darkest purple, black almost. Several minutes passed with the both of them staring at each other's differences, not even acknowledging time. Or the fact that they were staring at one another.

Naruto's mind started to wander and he offhandedly wondered where Sasuke's family was.

“Umm…Uchiha-san…where-” Naruto began, but Sasuke seemed to know where Naruto's sentence was going and cut him off.

“-Aren’t you going to change?” Sasuke questioned.

Naruto didn't seem phased by the hasty interruption and felt his face heat up at the thought of undressing before the raven-banged teen.

“Does the word 'privacy' mean anything to you?” Naruto retorted. "I mean, you invite someone you haven't talked to in AGES over your house and leave doors open for me to watch you undress and now you want me to sit here and do the same! I don-"

“The bathroom is down the hall, second door to your left.” Sasuke deadpanned, turning on his heel and heading back to his king-sized bed, seating himself at the top center and leaning against the head board. He grabbed his book from the nightstand by is bed and opened it, sending a confused gaze in Naruto's direction, wondering why he hadn't left. Naruto blushed and speedily made his way out the door. Sasuke shook his head at the confusing boy and found himself thinking about how much he had missed the other's company. He didn't know why it had been such a long time since he and Naruto spent any time together.

'I guess I could call him my best friend……he's my only friend.' Sasuke thought.

Sasuke smirked when he saw the faint pink tint that graced Naruto’s whiskered cheeks.

‘ Cute…’ Sasuke thought.
