“Yes, you’re a better friend than all of us!” Sakura snapped at Gaara. She was growing irritable with his smugness, and wondering if he and Sasuke had more in common than he thought. The smirk vanished from Gaara’s face and he glared at her, but kept his mouth closed.
Naruto looked around at his friends faces. “There’s not really much to tell...” at least there wasn’t much he was going to tell right now. Not even Gaara knew the whole story. There were things that had happened between Naruto and Sasuke during their journey to become friends again, that Naruto preferred to keep between the two of them, though it wouldnt surprise him if Gaara had already guessed the things he had chosen to exclude. “He left, like he did. Superiority complex and all, and I gave him a few months and tracked him down. We fought for a few years, and left a number of scars on each other,“ he waved his hand absently, “and we became friends again the summer we turned 17. And after the first couple years of college we were both looking for roommates.” He shrugged as he finished his abridged version of the story.
“Five years!?” Sakura’s eyes were wide in astonishment, her mouth slightly open. “You’ve been friends with him for five years and never said anything?!”
“I’m sorry!” Naruto held his hands up in defense. “I... didn’t realize that it had really been that long...” he put one hand down and moved the other to scratch the back of his head in nervousness. “Honestly, it never really came up. No one else had gone after him, no one ever mentioned him. No one asked where I went, or who I hung out with when I wasn’t around. I didn’t think it mattered.” This was a lie. He knew it would have mattered to Sakura, that she and missed him and had wanted to see him for so long. It had been cruel of him to not tell her over the years. But he had his reasons, and one of them had been that it wasn’t just his story to tell, and Sasuke had asked him not to, unless it was necessary.
Sakura opened her mouth to argue again, anger and hurt in her eyes, but Shikamaru spoke for the first time since he had arrived, and silenced her. “As fascinating as Naruto’s personal life is, that’s not why we’re here. We do have a test to study for.”

They worked together for the next half an hour, discussing different topics, quizzing each other, and debating proper methods of doing things. By the time Sasuke had returned to the kitchen, Hair still wet from the shower, the mood in the apartment had lightened considerably. He had changed into a black tank top and black shorts. His injuries where clearly visible. Bloody scratches and cuts covered his left arm and leg, and now that his hair was pushed away from his face, the scrape to his forehead and bruising to his face were also visible. The car that hit him had run a red light and t-boned Sasuke’s car as he was going through an intersection, hitting behind the drivers seat. Had it hit him a split second sooner, he might not have survived.
Sasuke was holding a box in his his hands that he handed to Naruto as he sank into the vacant seat to the blonds left. The blinds were open to his right and the sunlight poured in. He groaned and winced as he sat. His entire body still ached considerably. The walk had been refreshing, but I hadn’t done his body any favors. He Rested his elbow on the table, but then thought better of it. Naruto would yell at him if he got blood on the clean table. Sasuke glanced around. Sakura was still as beautiful as he remembered. Their eyes met, and she gave him a soft smile to which he nodded before she returned to her work. He felt a pang of guilt for the way he had treated her, and knew he owed her an apology... and a proper explanation. He knew Naruto would have been true to his word and not divulged more than was necessary. His gaze fell of Kiba next. His head was down and he was writing notes on more flash cards. Sasuke wondered if he was ignoring him, or didn’t realize he had returned. Shikamaru was watching him, his face expressionless. His books were unopened. Feeling as though there was some form of judgment being passed over him, Sasuke turned to watch Naruto pull bandages and dressings out of the box he had been handed. Placing the box on the table seemed to pull Kiba out of his reverie, and he looked up. Sakura also looked up. “Damn! That looks brutal.” Kiba stared at the wound on his arm. The cuts had been deep. Several had required stitches. He knew they would scar, and he wasn’t terribly concerned about it.
“I was nearly a lot worse.” Said Naruto flatly. Sasuke turned to look at him. He hadn’t looked up, but there was a deep frown on his face. Sasuke also frowned, remembering the look of panic on Naruto’s face at the hospital. He could still hear his friend’s anguished voice calling his name as he had lost consciousness from blood loss. Though it hadn’t been through any fault of his own, he felt guilty for having made Naruto that upset. To top off his guilt, they had fought that night before he left. What if his last words to his best friend had been those of anger? It was a stupid fight. He had taken his frustration at his family out on the blond who had done nothing but be there for him for so many years, through so much pain and confusion and sadness. Had kept his secrets, had never given up on him. The only person that had always been there for him. Yes, it was nearly much worse.

Having pulled out all the supplies he needed, Naruto looked up at him, his expression was softer. He had planned to apologize to Naruto last night after he got home from his friends, but exhaustion had taken him, and he’d lost courage again this morning. Naruto held out his hand for Sasuke’s injured one. Naruto would be gentle, but it would still hurt. Naruto took his hand gently and pulled it closer.
“You guys have a beautiful view of the city.” Sakura said, looking out the window behind Sasuke.
“Hmmmm,” Sasuke responded turning away from Naruto and following her gaze out the window, “it’s worth being in the top floor.”
“After helping you move, I strongly disagree.” Gaara replied. Kiba laughed and Sasuke smiled, but it quickly disappeared as Naruto, who was ignoring them in concentration, placed the first gauze pad on the deepest of Sasukes wounds. He flinched, but Naruto held his hand firmly.
“So how did you two become friends again,” Sakura seemed to be both seizing the opportunity to get her questions answered as well as distracting Sasuke from from what Naruto was doing to him. Sasuke was both grateful and annoyed, but gratitude won out in the end, “We beat the shit out of each other as usual,” he answered at last.
“Because that is perfectly normal.” Kiba replied sarcastically.
“For is it is.” Naruto paused in placing the bandages making sure he hadn’t missed anything, carefully turning sasuke’s arm this way and that. He was still holding Sasuke’s left hand in his own, while the right hand reached for the wrap he would use to hold the gauze in place. “I won, as usual.” He smirked at Sasuke.
The combination of the smirk, how it lit up Naruto’s eyes and face, and the realization that Naruto was still holding his hand, brought a rueful pink hue to Sasuke’s cheeks. He nodded in agreement as his voice had caught in his throat. Then, in an attempt to save himself from more embarrassment of nodding stupidly, shrugged as uncaringly as he could manage and turned to look out the window. Naruto wrapped his arm fairly quickly and set it down on the table, finally releasing his hand. The absence of his warm touch was felt by Sasuke, and he blushed again. Naruto moved his chair back and looked at Sasuke questioningly, “Leg?” He asked. Sasuke nodded and thanked him. With great effort, he lifted his left leg and placed it across Naruto’s lap, ankle resting on Naruto’s right thigh. And Naruto began the same ministrations he’d done to his arm. As Naruto started at his ankle he continued to stare pointedly out the window until Naruto reached his thigh. At that point it became to much, and he turned back to Sakura for distraction. “How have you been?” He asked. Naruto’s left hand pressed against his inner thigh, while his right worked on the outer, was causing his body to want to react, and it was taking all his will power to keep that from happening. Perhaps he should have waited until Naruto’s friends had left before asking him for help. But he didn’t know when that would be, and he wanted to sit on the couch and play video games without having to worry about his wounds. Naruto didn’t notice what was happening, just like the blushing. It would appear to the other boy as if he was embarrassed, or in pain. The same went for his friends. Well, except for Gaara, who had already figured out Sasuke’s biggest secret. Oblivious idiot, Sasuke thought glancing at his best friend. He would never have any idea what kind effect he had on Sasuke.
Polite conversation continued as Naruto finished tending to his roommate. When the task was complete, he set Sasuke’s foot softly on the ground. And informed him that it would be best to ice his knee and put his foot as the knee appeared swollen to him. Being dismissed, Sasuke stood quietly and left, grabbing and ice pack from the freezer on the way out. From where he was sitting, he could see Sasuke situate himself in front of the TV in the living room.

Naruto pulled his phone out of his bag and and brought up Sakura’s message thread.
“I promise, once this stupid test is over with, I will give you a proper explanation. Sasuke will too.” Send. It was a moment before she looked at her phone. And when their eyes met again, she gave him a nod of agreement and understanding.

The rest of session went uneventfully. Naruto was beginning to feel like he might actually pass this test. They continued until afternoon when Kiba cried out that he was mentally spent and required food and a nap, that the dissolved for the day, agreeing to meet at Naruto’s again the next morning. He walked his friends to the door, hugging Sakura goodbye. Sasuke also limped over to bid them a courteous farewell, standing beside Naruto. Gaara ignored him. Naruto watched them move towards the elevator for a moment before closing the door. He had only moved a few paces back into the apartment, stretching his arms over his head to release his sore muscles, before Sasuke grabbed him from behind. Arms wrapped tightly around his torso, startling him to exclamation. “Ahh! What are you doing!” But it was a moment before Sasuke answered.
His face was buried in the back of his right shoulder, and when spoke, his voice was muffled with cloth and tears, “I’m sorry!” He cried, and pulled Naruto closer.
Naruto sighed and reached his hand back to thread his fingers into raven locks, leaning his head back to rest agains his. “Heh, what are you sorry for.” Naruto was genuinely confused at Sasuke’s current behavior.
“What said... before the accident. I’m sorry. I was angry, I didn’t mean it. I’m sorry.”
Oh... thought Naruto. He had forgotten about their argument after everything that had happened afterwards. A weight now settled in his chest. He straightened up and pulled Sasukes arms from around his waist. Sasuke gasped in pain and Naruto released his left arm, turning to face him. Sasuke stood only an inch or so shorter than himself, and was of a slightly lighter build, like a runner, where Naruto had thicker muscle from days spent at the apartment complexes gym.
Sasuke’s tear streaked face stared back at him, guilty and fearful. “Don’t,” Naruto told him softly, lifting his hands to brush away tears. “don’t worry about that right now. We can talk about it later, ok?” His hands moved to Sasuke’s waist, and pulled him close again, crushing his own lips against his lover’s in a heated kiss. Sasuke returned it eagerly.
