Naruto rolled over and yelled when his body met the floor "kuso! That's the 20,000th time this week! I'm getting too big for this damn bed!"

"We can just join our bunk beds together to form a big one you know" Sasuke's voice came from the door, he was holding a small cake topped with a candle.

Naruto's mood lightened and he smiled at his best friend.

"Happy 17th Birthday dobe."

"Thank you…Sasuke." (In Naruto's cute accent.)

Sasuke always managed to make sure he was the first one to tell Naruto "happy birthday", he usually woke his ass up at midnight, although most of the time they were already awake. Naruto always loved that about his birthdays.

Sasuke starred down at the blond, his shoulders looked a lot broader and his face structure was much more mature. His gold locks were longer and worked nicely with his face, and his voice had grown much more deeper than his.

"So is Tsunade throwing me another surprise party…like she does every year? Why am I even asking, right? I don't even know how that lady pulls off anything like that, she probably makes the perv pay for everything."

"Hn.." Sasuke nodded. Recently he found himself thinking of the dobe far more than usual.

"Where did you even get the money to buy this?" Naruto blew the candle and inhaled the cake.

"You'll get mad if I tell you."

"You stole it?" Naruto guessed.

"Not really.."

"Well?"

"I kind of asked Sakura for money and she was more than willing to give it to me."

Saskuke blinked when he got an unexpected reaction.

"Baka!" the blond bursted into laughter.

Sasuke laughed a little wiping off chocolate from Naruto's face. The blond squinted skeptically at him but let the raven.

It was October 10th, the day was happy like every year. The girls were helping out Tsunade make the small apartment look less unfortunate.

A few hours later everyone found themselves hiding under the darkness and waiting for the birthday boy to come through the door.

"Just act surprised Naruto" both boys were in the hallway walking towards the apartment.

"Hai hai" his lids almost closed.

"SURPISE!"

And there you had it, the stupidest and most sarcastic face the blond could cook up last minute.

"Hn.." Sasuke looked at his friend, he had to admit Naruto looked funny so he walked away from the spotlight to laugh.

"Wow! Guys thanks! I had no idea!"

"Baka.." Kiba sighed.

Naruto looked around the room, it seemed everyone they had ever known was filling up the small apartment, that was a surprise to the blond, usually his parties only consisted of the eleven of them and Jiraiya.

Tsunade stampede through the crowd and wrapped Naruto in a big bear hug. "Baa-chan" Naruto squeezed out trying to ignore her breasts choking him.

"Naruto!" the man the blond called perv appeared. He was Tsunade's boyfriend and had been for a long time, him and Naruto were always grabbing each other by the hair but Naruto did like him a lot. He looked up to him, something like a father.

"So who's gonna spank Naruto 17 times" someone shouted, most likely Kiba.

Sasuke's didn't appreciate that joke, no it wasn't because he didn't want anyone to spank his friend, no no no, just because it was ...stupid. Yeah.

"Sasuke-kun?"

"Huh?" the raven turned to find Sakura.

"Did you get Naruto something nice for his birthday?" the girl knew where the money she gave him was going to.

"How did you know?"

"I'm not dumb Sasuke-kun."

"Hn" Sasuke begged to differ.

"You guys really can't stand being apart, can you?" her voice turned soft.

"Hn" Sasuke's eyes kept with the blond. He saw how everyone hugged him and kissed him. Some even fed with him.

"TIME FOR CAKE!"

And Akamaru, Chouji, and Naruto bolted towards the table.

"If one of you bastards touch the cake before I get a picture, I'm going to kill you" Tsunade warned.

They all slouched knowing this would take forever and a day.

"Ok, first all us with Naru-chan" all ten of them surrounded the sitting blond.

Naruto was with his arms crossed mimicking Sasuke, which surprisingly enough was posing that way. Kiba putting "bunny ears" on both Shikamaru and Naruto. Akamaru licking Chouji's ice-cream while Chouji had no idea. Sakura smiling on Sasuke's side while Ino was fuming that she took "her" place. Ten-ten having her arm around Sai's neck and smiling cheekily. Temari, with her arms crossed and smirking. Tsunade crying in the corner yet trying her hardest to smile.

The next one only consisted of Tsunade choking Naruto in another hug, yet his smile was genuine this time. "I love you baa-chan!" Naruto yelled making Tsunade cry right when the picture was taken.

"Last one, the boyfriends!" the photographer teased, or Jiraiya if you must.

Naruto chuckled and turned over to Sasuke, everyone loved to tease them that way but it didn't really bother him. Sasuke smirked and stood stiffly next to Naruto, until the blond impulsively wrapped his arm around Sasuke's neck and the raven did the same to Naruto. They both looked up with sincere smiles in perfect timing with the camera.

"Ok, make a wish Naru-chan!" they chanted before he blew the candles.

The blond closed his eyes and smiled, repeating in his head the desire in his heart, and with that the light the candles emitted vanished.

After the cake was completely massacred and gone, it was time for the fun stuff. They played a lot of different games, the last one being musical chairs which got out of hand, people kept sitting on others and the daredevils Kiba and Naruto kept moving chairs right when someone was going to sit on them to take it for themselves. Sasuke kept punching people…it was just getting out of hand, so the games came to an end for a while, leaving music for the guests to enjoy.

Sasuke was about to go stand with his friend when a girl went up to him and began to chat.

That annoying girl from the arcade.

Sasuke starred as she kept caressing his arm,

get your hands off him,

and making him laugh nervously.

"Tsk.." he hissed and went outside.

Sakura who was being hit on by the funny bushy brow guy from the public gym the girls would go to, noticed.

Sasuke walked out to a nearby bridge appreciating the tranquility of the night. He rested his arms on bridge and starred out at nothing. Why was he even in a bad mood?

After who knows how long he had been there, he finally felt footsteps approaching.

"Teme. Where have you been? I've been looking for you. You should have seen what the guys got me, Tsunade's killing them right now" Naruto laughed at the thought.

"Why did you come look for me?"

"What? Why did you come over here all by yourself you idiot?"

"Naruto"

"Huh?"

"About your gift.."

"It tasted great, thanks!"

"No, you moron"

"There's another?"

"Hn." Sasuke knew the only gifts Naruto really enjoyed consisted of food.

"Oh! You spoil me Sasuke" Naruto teased.

"I was going to take you to eat Ramen…but if you want I can give you the money and you can take the arcade girl."

Naruto blinked "Why would I do that?"

"I don't know you seem to really like her."

Naruto turned and starred at the body of water "uh, I don't know about that but I want to go with you-"

Naruto's sentence was cut by his best friends lips. At first his lids shot open but eased when it felt nice….right…

Sasuke pulled back and turned away before blushing. Naruto said nothing, only turned the raven's face to finish what he started.

This was their first real kiss and who knows if they were doing it perfect and awkward free but right now it felt like the hottest thing they had done in their entire life.

Naruto who had now surpassed Sasuke's height looked down at Sasuke who seemed to be hiding his smiling face. The raven hugged Naruto and murmured a "happy birthday" to get rid of his embarrassment. He eased when he felt Naruto's heart beat going just as fast as his.

"I got to say..you've been giving me the best birthday gifts."

"Shut up dobe."

"You know… I don't even believe in the "wish" crap."

"What do you mean?"

"Well I asked for my first kiss. I know it's kind of stupid but all the guys but me and you have been kissed, and I wanted to be a little dick and get kissed before you."

Sasuke didn't know whether to laugh or get mad but he surrounded the serene night with his laughter. "You're such a moron, Naruto."

Naruto pulled Sasuke's arm and they returned to the party, when it was all finally over Naruto lay on Sasuke's bed reading anxiously over all the manga the arcade girl had given him. Sasuke stood over his keyboard player pacing himself. In about a decade or so he finally offered to play something for the blond.

About a year ago everyone had literally worked their asses off to buy Sasuke a piano keyboard for his birthday. Ever since Sasuke had seen some guy playing it on TV, he obsessed over it. Naruto thought it was cute and decided to drag everyone down with him and made them help him buy Sasuke one.

After he did the hardest thing in his life and tried to suppress his tears when he received the gift from a whole bunch of smiling faces, Sasuke began teaching himself how to play it and now there he was offering Naruto to listen to one of his first pieces.

"Sasuke…" Naruto's heart fuzzed.

"I plan to be a famous piano player one day and I want you to be the first one to ever listen to me play."

Naruto remained wordless.

"Well, I kind of wanted to have it ready by your birthday and I think I finally got it perfect. It's 11:52, so I still have time."

Naruto half smiled at him, a little overwhelmed.

The tune started, it was gentle…

Naruto starred at Sasuke's concentrated face, he had never felt so at ease. He could literally feel the music soothing his soul, it felt joyous yet sad. The tune was expressing Sasuke's feelings, what was inside his heart. Naruto had never heard anything more beautiful.

It soon came to an end and Sasuke smiled, proud of himself, he turned to the blond expecting feedback.

"Wow…Sasuke…" Naruto's husky voice made Sasuke look down and smile.

"Well…it's kind of for you."

"The song?"

Sasuke's eyes remained away from Naruto and he nodded.

Naruto was leaning towards his friend with full intent to kiss him.

"I heard your girly shit!" Kiba barged in "let's go celebrate Naruto's birthday our way!" Kiba ran out the window followed by the group of boys. Naruto looked down and smirked. He stood up behind Sasuke kissing his cheek so hard it made Sasuke shift right. The raven beamed.

"Thank you…Sasuke."

He grabbed his hand and they launched outside the window.

"Kiba, how did you even get these, you jackass?"

"Don't underestimate me and Akamaru (cue Akamaru's bark)"

"Alright for your 17th birthday, we're getting you drunk out of your mind."
