Sasuke walked into Naruto's dark apartment, confident that the dobe would follow close behind him but when he turned to finally confront his emotional friend he found him to still be standing outside his own door, nervously shuffling from foot to foot in the small puddle that his dripping clothes had made out in the hallway.
The Uchiha arched one perfectly manicured eyebrow, "Is there something wrong Naruto?"
Naruto didn't say anything but instead walked silently into the apartment and closed the door behind him before heading in the direction of the kitchen. "Do you want anything?" He asked his guest as he opened the refrigerator, hoping that the magical food fairies had decided to pay him a visit.
Sasuke had to smile at the blonde's back then. He knew how sparsely Naruto lived but he found it endearing that the shinobi still had the manners to offer a guest refreshments, "No I’m fine I had dinner with Sakura after training. We invited you and you turned us down, remember?"
Naruto closed the fridge with a defeated sigh, "yeah sorry about that but i had to go see someone about some things. Maybe next time yeah?"
Sasuke tried to keep the frown off his face at Naruto's vagueness and was about to push the subject when a loud crack of thunder made him jump and lightening momentarily brightened the apartment. That moment however, was all Sasuke needed to register the look in Naruto's eyes. Clearly the person he had gone to see and the things that they had talked about where what was making the dobe so upset recently. This fact calmed Sasuke. It was so much easier to deal with the dobe’s problems when it was another person causing them and not some internal struggle that he was having with either himself or with Kyuubi. "So," he began quietly, "are you going to tell me what’s going on with you or are we going to keep standing here in the dark?"
"Sorry about the lights," Naruto said quietly as he moved around is apartment in the dark without hitting a thing, "it’s just its easier to forget when light isn't being shed on everything."
Sasuke heard rather than saw Naruto plop onto his couch and went to join him, having spent enough time in the apartment to know his way around it in the dark as well, and settled himself beside his blond friend with care. Naruto was beginning to open up on his own and Sasuke didn't want to push him, knowing that if he attempted to get more information before the blonde was ready to tell him that he would probably be shut out, not to mention probably thrown out as well. That was something the Uchiha desperately wanted to avoid. However what Naruto had said about the lights only made him more worried and anxious about his friend’s circumstances.
It was true that though Naruto often had moments when his smiles weren’t real and his eyes were filled with pain most of the time the teen was far to exuberant for one person to handle for very long. For Naruto to reject light when he was like the sun, a spontaneous ball of untameable energy with a gravitational pull of total and shear awesomeness, was truly concerning. To put it simply at that moment Sasuke Uchiha was completely baffled by his blonde friend.
What has happened to you dobe, he thought to himself as he patiently sat bedside Naruto and waited for him to continue, where is that annoying ball of sunshine that never leaves me alone. I miss him. Wait what????
The Uchiha sat bolt upright suddenly and Naruto looked at him a little startled. The quiet had been so nice and he was beginning to forget that Sasuke was even there, pushing him for information, making him relive not only the horrors of his afternoon but of every other day before that as well.
“A-are you okay Sasuke?” He asked his friend tentatively, realising that even in the dark Sasuke was looking paler that usual. Was he sick or something?
“I’m fine Naruto,” the Uchiha ground out, “we’re talking about you aren’t we?”
Naruto sighed quietly and put his head in his hands,” I guess you already figured out it’s a person that’s making me upset right?” He peeked out from between his fingers to see Sasuke’s reaction. The raven nodded silently and settled from his rigid position. Naruto relaxed a little at seeing this, as he had quickly jumped to the conclusion that Sasuke’s sudden discomfort had somehow been his fault. “Well I’m not going to tell you names or anything. I don’t want you doing anything stupid and getting into trouble on my behalf okay?”
“Okay,” the raven agreed, “so what’s up?”
“Well recently I’ve been seeing someone,” the blonde mumbled, “but-but the person I’m seeing, well he’s kinda seeing someone else as well.”
The pair sat in the dark silently as the Uchiha thought about what Naruto had just told him. Naruto was seeing someone, okay sure that wasn’t a problem if anything he was happy that his friend had found someone that he could trust enough to be intimate with but to be seeing someone who was already in a relationship? Sasuke had never pegged his friend as a home wrecker.
“Naruto I’m going to be honest with you here okay. If this person your seeing is already in a relationship it would mean that you’re the antagonist of this situation and that the best possible thing for you to do would be to get out of the relationship and leave the other two in peace,” Sasuke looked at Naruto and was shocked to see the expression on the blondes face.
“S-so what your saying is that this whole thing is my fault,” the raven wasn’t sure but he thought he saw tears beginning to form in the blonde’s eyes as he became more and more distressed over Sasuke’s words. “But that- that can’t be right,” he sobbed, “no Sasuke your wrong. He- he said he loves me that if I just wait he’ll leave his boyfriend and be with me, he promised me. He told me that eventually when the time is right we won’t have to hide it anymore, he said he’d be proud to walk through the village holding my hand and I believe him Sasuke.”
The fox’s eyes shone with such belief in what he was saying that the Uchiha changed his previous statement. Of course Naruto wasn’t a home wrecker; he should be murdered for even thinking such a thing. It was clear to him now that whoever this other person was, was just using him and his friend. His friend who had been denied the affections of others for such a long time and was willing to believe anything the other party said, was willing to do anything in order to keep the love he had finally found after searching for so long, even ignore his own better judgement and instincts to wait for a promise to be fulfilled that deep down Sasuke was sure he knew never would be.
“How long?”
Naruto looked at Sasuke with a confused expression, “what do you mean?”
“How long has this been going on for,” Sasuke elaborated, “and how long has the guy you’re seeing been telling you he’s going to leave his boyfriend for.”
Naruto’s eyes narrowed into slits and he pushed himself up from the couch. Sasuke didn’t need lights to see that Naruto was angry; he could feel the hostility rolling off the Jinchuuriki as he began to pace the apartment, “I know what you think Sasuke. You think that he’s just using me. You think that just because I’ve got this demon inside me that no one in this village would even take a second glance at me!!”
Tears were falling freely down Naruto’s face now and he wasn’t even bothering to keep some semblance of his mask in place, showing Sasuke just how badly broken he was by this experience. He wanted so badly to be loved without any strings or motives attached, he just wanted someone to want him for who he was, Kyuubi and all. Secretly that was one of the reasons he became a ninja in the first place, so people would need him. It was twisted but somehow putting his life on the line for others made the blonde feel like he was important like the lives of those around him would shatter or be incomplete if he wasn’t there(which was true because if he wasn’t they’d be dead.)
Naruto expected Sasuke to yell at him, belittle him and put him down like normal but what he didn’t expect was the stoic raven haired shinobi to get up and pull him into a hug.
Naruto tensed and Sasuke wondered if what he had just done was the right course of action but he couldn’t pull away now. If he did Naruto would surly see it as a sign of rejection and then there would be absolutely no getting him back to his normal jovial self. The raven tightened his arms around the blonde’s shoulders as a loud sob escaped Naruto that was part Sasuke’s name and part an apology, “you have nothing to apologise for.”
“Yes I do,” Naruto protested, “I know how much you hate getting wet and now that you’ve hugged me your wet too,” Naruto sniffled relaxed against his friend, losing his tenseness and plopping his head onto Sasuke’s shoulder with a yawn. Despite his words he didn’t want Sasuke to let him go, didn’t want the other teen to choose his irrational hate of getting wet over his friend.
Sasuke chuckled and moved the blonde to the couch so they could sit again,” It doesn’t matter,” he said as he pulled Naruto into his side, cringing a little as his bare arm made contact with the wet orange fabric of Naruto’s jumper.
They sat there quietly for some time and listened to the rain pound on the roof and as Naruto began to snore quietly Sasuke finally let himself relax, his own eyelids getting heavier as he watched the rain in its endless trail down the window pane. The crisis that this confrontation had threatened to turn into had been averted and he had even managed to get some information out of the dobe, even if it was vague at best. Hey, at least he had a place to start now.
Noticing that sleep really was threatening Sasuke settled himself and Naruto down onto the couch. It was a tight fit but with Naruto pressed tightly against him the Uchiha managed to make it work, drifting off to sleep with Naruto’s soft snores reverberating through his chest.

There another chapter complete. This was rushed because I got all excited when I got your reviews so sorry if it sucks. Who can guess who Naruto is in a relationship with, special prize if you get it right. Also if I write about anything that isn’t in the description I’m sorry but I kinda just guessed about that stuff.
