Philosophy of Love

Walking to the bathroom Naruto did his morning routine; Washed his face, brushed his teeth and took a quick shower followed by getting dressed. The blond checked himself out in the mirror he smiled at himself. He was wearing the outfit Sasuke had gotten him for his birthday last year. Black pants with red stitching, A black over shirt with a red fox on the back along with a red under shirt. Sasuke said “No more orange.” when he gave it to him.

Heading out the door Naruto trotted to the parking garage and hopped in his car and started for Kohl's place. It was a fairly quickly drive since Kohl lived in their neighborhood. Stopping in front of a dull brown apartment complex Naruto got out and headed to the front gate. Remembering the code Kohl had given him a couple weeks prior he punched it in and headed to the 4th floor.

Naruto hummed a tune as he neared the door and was about to knock when the door opened and a red head was standing in front of him. The red head stopped in his tracks when he spotted Naruto standing in his way.

“Dylan, wait!” came up from behind the red head and stopped too when he saw Naruto. Snapping out of his momentary shock the red head shook his head and pushed his way past Naruto.

“I don't want to hear it Kohl!” Dylan yelled as he stomped down the hall. Kohl sighed before he turned back to Naruto.

“Sorry about that.”

“No problem....what was that about?”

“That was my...friend. He's kind of mad at me right now...” He frowned causing Naruto to do the same.

“Uh what happened?” Naruto tilted his head a bit.

“I don't want to worry you. Its fine. We'll be fine, don't worry your pretty little head.” Kohl smiled and Naruto frowned. He hated being talked down to like that.

“So what are we going to be doing today?”

“How about the Sea Park? You said you've never been there right?” Naruto's eyes lit up.

“Yeah! I haven been there before. I wanted to go with Sasuke but he keeps saying no. I think he's afraid of the water...” Naruto's thoughts wandered to the raven haired boy.

“So how about it?”

“Lets go!” He grabbed the older boys hand but was stopped.

“Hold on there, let me grab my keys.” He chuckled before kissing the blond on the temple before he rushed back in the house and grabbed his keys off the table.

-----------------------------------------------------

“So have you ever been there before?” Naruto asked breaking the silence in the car. Kohl had been staring at the road in a daze. Naruto hated silence.

“Where?” Kohl snapped out of his daze and glanced at the blond. Naruto frowned.

“The Sea Park” Naruto stated.

“Oh, yeah. I've taken Dylan there all the time. He loves the dolphins...” Kohl said a little distracted. Naruto looked out the window already seeing he wasn't going to get much out of his boyfriend.

They pulled into the parking lot about ten minutes later and found a space near the front. Being a little giddy Naruto rushed to the ticket stand and waited for his boyfriend who was walking unusually slow. When he got there he ordered the tickets, the woman working the stand looked at Kohl strangely. “Who's your friend? Not used to seeing you without your shadow.” She smiled. Kohl tensed.

“This is my friend Naruto.” He said.

'Friend?' Naruto thought. 'What Shadow...'

“We'll be going in now, we don't have a whole bunch of time.” He smiled at her and grabbed Naruto's wrist, half dragging him in the park. “Sorry about that.” Kohl said when they got out of earshot. “She can be a real chatter box.” He chuckled.

“Oh...”

“What do you want to see first?”

“I've always wanted to see Whales!” Naruto said excitedly.

“Okay, lets go.” Kohl smiled and walked in the direction of the huge whale tanks. Naruto's eyes wandered all over the place. From the people to the tanks holding aquatic life and more. He had never seen so many sea creatures in the flesh. The his eyes stopped on his boyfriend who was looking at his own shoes.

'What the hell is his problem...He's been distracted and gloomy all this time...Maybe this wasn't a good idea...' Naruto looked up at the signs. “The whale tanks are this way!” He grabbed his boyfriends wrist and pulled him in the right direction. They went through a tunnel opening up into a huge stadium with a large tank at the bottom. The stadium was mostly empty except for two people who were standing next to the tank. Naruto looked closer and noticed it was the red head from earlier. Dylan, Kohl's roommate. He was standing there with another guy and they seemed to be arguing. The read heads face was flushed and his arms were waving as he talked.

“Hey isn't that your roommate?” Naruto asked. He waited for a few seconds before looking at Kohl who hadn't responded. Kohl was watching them intently. Watching the red head, analyzing. It was creepy because he had seen that look on Sasuke's face a lot when he was with one of his ex's....

Naruto frowned. “Kohl?” He turned to his boyfriend and still he didnt get an answer. He noticed movement back down by the tank. The other guy had stormed off leaving the red head by himself. Dylan wrapped his arms around himself. He looked out of it. Naruto knew that look, he had that same look many times before.

“Naruto...” Naruto snapped back to his boyfriend.

“I have to go talk to him...looks bad this time.” Naruto frowned and nodded. He knew that he had just whitnessed a break up and he knew he would want his best friends there for him...suddenly Sasuke flashed through his mind. Dylan rushed out of the stadium through the second exit near the bottom and Kohl rushed after him. Sighing Naruto took a seat and watched the black and white whale swim around in its tank.

“I guess I'll wait till the next show.” Naruto said to himself. Naruto waited about ten minutes before he noticed more and more people started filling the stadium and before he knew it the show had started. It was an amazing show. He never knew whales could jump so high from the water. The preformers where just as good. And as fast as it came it was over and he had still not heard from or seen Kohl at all. By Naruto's estimate it had been an hour since he had gone off. Frowning he got up from his seat and wandered around the park expecting to see his boyfriend somewhere.

He wandered through the sting ray pools, even petted a few of them. Traveled through the hall of jellyfish which amazed him. All the colors and shapes. Then through the fish aquarium which had a moving floor so you didnt have to walk though it.

It was now three o' clock in the afternoon. He had been wandering the park by himself for about two hours. Frowning and sighing heavily he pulled out his cell phone and hist speed dial three which called Kohl and not to Naruto's surprise he didn't answer. Shoving the phone back into the pocket. He could feel his anger rising.

'He's supposed to be here with me..' Naruto sat himself down on a bench and let his mind wander off and his eyes shifted around like when he had first arrived at the park. It was then he spotted red hair. Quickly he recognized Dylan...with Kohls arm wrapped around his waist. Naruto's breath started getting shallow. Slowly Dylan rested his head on the taller boys shoulder, Kohl rested his chin on his head. Naruto 's heart started racing as he watched the interraction. Naruto remained silent as the the two kissed lightly and walked off, towards the exit. Naruto's eyes dropped and he could feel the sting of hot tears building up. He shut his eyes tight and shook off the feeling and dug in his pocket for his phone. He hit speed dial two. Sasuke.

The phone rang twice before the raven picked. “Hello?” He heard.

“S-sasuke?”

“Naruto?”

What are you doing right now?” He said, voice quivering.

“I'm out with Sky...Naruto Whats wrong? Its sounds like your about to cry...”

“Yeah..I was out with Kohl and...I think he just left me.”

“He what?”

“I saw his with someone else just now...”

“Are you sure?” Sasuke asked, he couldnt believe it. He knew Kohl was going to do it sometime or another but...

“Yeah, I just need to get out of here.”

“Where are you? Do you want me to come get you?”

“No, your busy. I'll call Ino, she'll come get me dont worry.”

“Its not a problem...”

“No, I dont want to ruin your day too...”

“...Okay...” Sasuke sounded out of it. He knew he wanted to help but he had to let Sasuke live his life and not worry about him all the time... “I'll meet you back at the apartment later then.”

“Yeah...we'll go out for ice cream!” Naruto tried to sound happy but Sasuke could see right through it. Naruto hung up the phone when he saw he wasnt going to get a response out of him.


Uhh....there you have it. Naruto's day. I had though about it a while ago and kind of forgot the original plan, it was better then this but I think you guys deserve something. I am sorry about the lack of updating though. A lot has happened in the past couple of months....*sigh*
