Super Boy

Oo2: A Boy

Sasuke likes the darkness. It lets him forget all the memories with his parents. The way his mom used to play toys with him, and still found time to nag him to do housework. The way his dad always looked at him sternly, only to be nice to him secretly. And they way they died. And as for Itachi…he'd long since erased every last bit of him from his memory.

The door to his room opens suddenly, and he can vaguely see Naruto standing in the doorway. Naruto's face is pale, small beads of sweat had formed around his neck. Sasuke rubs his eyes. He is annoyed. "What do you want, Dobe?"

Naruto takes a long time to answer. When the frantic look in his eyes disappear, he says, "I had a bad dream; I'm scared of the dark."

Sasuke doesn't know how to respond. He can't just tell him to leave. It would be too rude and pointless since he probably wouldn't even obey. Sasuke frowns a bit, then says the only answer he can think to say, "You can sleep with me." He moves so that there is an empty space for Naruto.

Naruto walks over to him and climbs up on the king-sized mattress. "Thank you," he whispers quietly, not like his usual self, and Sasuke realizes that Naruto must truly be afraid of the very thing he embraces.

"Hn." He places the duvet over them both. Sasuke turns around, facing away from him. Hopefully, he'd forget this by tomorrow.

"Sasuke-kun! You're going to be late!" Sakura wails as she pounds on his door.

Sakura always wakes him up the same way; You're so lame, Sakura, Sasuke thinks, awake but with his eyes closed. Sasuke feels something soft against his neck, and he turns around, accidentally touching Naruto's hand and comes face to his sleeping form. He looks like an angel, Sasuke thinks quietly. His hands are soft and smaller than Sasuke's, so he finds it amusing to play with his fingers. He's too into it, that he doesn't notice Sakura, who has entered his room. In fact, he doesn't notice her until she lets out an audible gasp.

"…Is that a girl with you?" Sakura asks, only two inches away from.

Sasuke can tell she's not mad. Only shocked…and maybe hurt.

"No," Sasuke says quickly, pulling his hands away from Naruto's.

"Oh," Sakura raises an eyebrow, "so it's a boy?"

Sasuke can't even think of an answer because Naruto stirs from his sleep, and mutters, "Tell her to shut up…"

Sakura lets out a weird noise; sort of like a mix between a growl and yell, and Sasuke knows she wants to kill Naruto right then and there.

"Let's do this rationally, Sakura," she mumbles to herself, patting her shoulder length pink hair into place.

When Naruto sits up, rubbing his eyes, he's surprised to find Sakura there.

"Hi, I'm Sakura Haruno, Sasuke's girlfriend," she adds, throwing a meaningful look at Sasuke.

"Oh!" Naruto's eyes immediately brighten. "You're very pretty!" He gets up and bows to her deeply. "I'm Uzumaki Naruto!"

Sakura takes a step back. Jeez, now I feel bad…, she scolds herself. "Pleased to meet you, Naruto-chan," Sakura finally says, smiling.

"Awww, why Naruto-chan?" Naruto asks, rubbing his head, annoyed.

"Because," Sakura says, as if it's a known law, "you're very cute."

Naruto blushes. "Uhh…I don't think girls are supposed to say that to boys…"

"Dobe, you could wear a wig and pass off for a girl," Sasuke finally says. And before Naruto can protest, he asks, "Why are you here Sakura? There's no school today; it's Saturday."

"I know." Sakura giggles. "I get used to waking you up this way. He NEVER wants to wake up in the mornings," she whispers to Naruto.

"Neither do I," Naruto says back, looking dead serious.

"Well, you are boys," Sakura says, shrugging and rolls her eyes. "Anyway, Sasuke-kun, look what I drew!" She grabs a medium sized paper from her panda bag and hands it to Sasuke.

Sasuke takes the paper and studies it. He's in it, the picture. He's walking on the snow covered sidewalk, obviously going back home from school, and beside him is Naruto. That makes his blood stop circulating for a brief moment. So she had seen him. Even though he worked so hard to keep him a secret.

"Hey, I'm in it!" Naruto says cheerfully. "Wow, you're an awesome drawer, Sakura-chan!"

"Thanks," Sakura says humbly, "but I prefer to be called an artist, not a drawer. That's all I came for." Sakura takes the paper from Sasuke.

A smile appears on Sasuke's face. Of course; she would've probably came over just to tell him something about the sky if she felt like it.

"Bye bye," Sakura says to the both of them, and leaves, skipping out of the room.

"She's very nice," Naruto says out loud. "And pretty."

"Hn. Let's go."

Naruto's blue eyes crease in surprise. "Huh? Go where?"

"To the mall, to buy you clothes and stuff," Sasuke answers, waving his hand carelessly.

—

At the mall, Sasuke buys Naruto lots of clothes. Mostly Naruto wants skinny jeans and brightly colored shirts.

"What are you, an emo?" Sasuke asks, half joking.

"I'm not emo; I'm scene," Naruto says, almost prideful, and points to the red streaks in his blonde hair.

Sasuke smiles, cause that's really all he can do.

***

Sasuke doesn't like starting conversations, and he's not really good at it either. So he randomly asks Naruto, "You're afraid of the dark?"

Naruto nods. "Yup! It's so creepy!" Naruto drinks from his strawberry milkshake, stopping when he notices that Sasuke is staring at him. He waves his hand around Sasuke's face, who leans back and glares at him. "Stop staring at me like that," Naruto says quietly, blushing pink.

Sasuke smirks. So this is the effect I have on him, he notes. "Naruto, you're gay right." It's not a question, but Naruto still nods, uncertain of his intentions. "Kiss me."

Naruto chokes on his milkshake. "What the fudge, Sasuke?" he asks, still coughing.

"Kiss me," Sasuke repeats. "You're gay."

"Are you making fun of me?" Naruto asks, squinting his eyes up at Sasuke.

"No."

"Sasuke. We're at a mall."

"So?"

Naruto suddenly feels hyper. He leans into the small round table that separates them. "Are you sure?" he wants asks, but it's too late, for Sasuke slams his lips against his, and grabs his shoulders so he doesn't fall back.

His lips are soft, Naruto notes. Sasuke can't think, he just knows that he needs to feel Naruto's lips on his. When Sasuke finally lets go of him, Naruto says breathlessly, "What was that all about?"

"Something new," Sasuke answers, staring straight at him, not sounding like someone who'd just been kissing another person.

***

"Hey, stop staring at me like that," Naruto says.

Sasuke loses his dazed look and forget about the momentary daydream. "Let's go," he says, getting up.

"I'm not done with my milkshake!"

Sasuke ignores his statement and starts walking away.

"Teme…" Naruto growls, and reluctantly gets up, running after him.

—

"Why are we at the park?" Naruto asks, sitting on a swing.

"Sakura likes the park. And you seem to like it too," Sasuke answers, his hand on the chain of the swing.

"Whatever." Naruto walks backward, keeping the seat of the swing on his backside, and swings himself quietly.

Sasuke watches him trying swing himself, but Sasuke also is amused because two are needed to play on swings. So Sasuke lightly pushes Naruto's back when the swing moves backward.

Naruto looks behind, smiling a thanks to him. Sasuke smiles back faintly, but he reminds himself that he's not going to like this guy.

***

"Hey Sasuke," Naruto calls from his sitting position on Sasuke's bed.

"Hn?"

"Do you like the dark?"

The question startles Sasuke, and he pauses from brushing his teeth. "…Yes," he finally answers after a minute. "Why?"

Naruto shrugs. "I kinda figured you did, but I just wanted to make sure."

"Do you think I'm weird?" Sasuke goes to the bathroom to avoid hearing Naruto's answer. I'm a coward, he repeats over and over again in his mind.

"I don't think you're weird," Naruto says when Sasuke lays down beside him. "You just like the dark. That's ok."

Sasuke ignores him, and squeezes his eyes shut.

"I mean it," Naruto says, and takes Sasuke's hand in his.

Dammit, Sasuke thinks, turning pink.

A/N: wow, that was short -_-

I'll either update in a few days or on NaruSasu day ^^;
