Summary: What happens when Naruto finally snaps? When he can't take anymore of the name calling and whispers? . . . And who will come to his rescue in his time of need? Yaoi- NaruxSasu

Sasuke limped his way across the short distance to Narutos door and stood there as he worked out the kinks in his body. Tilting his head from side to side, his neck cracked and he slowly but surely got the rest of his body out of its sudden poor condition. When he reached out to open Narutos door though he realized the boy had remembered to lock it this time so instead of forcing it open like he normally would have, he decided to actually knock for the first time since he had gotten there.

The sound rang throughout the apartment but Naruto chose to ignore it as he made his way to the bathroom. The blonde haired boy began going through his medicine cabinet looking for some bandages for his self inflicted wound. When he found them he unwrapped the towel from his lower half and began bandaging it up. This was an uncommon thing for Naruto to do, usually he wiped the blood away and let the cut be free, but now that Sasuke might know about his small problem he thought it better to wrap it up in the slight chance it would heal faster than if he just let it be.

“Oi! Open up!!” Sasuke started as he banged roughly on the door. I guess it’s a good thing there was no one else on Narutos floor or else he would probably just get his ass kicked again. When Naruto wouldn’t answer though he let out a long sigh then tried talking to him, whether he was listening or not “Look . . . I’m not leaving until you let me in, this may seem weird and sudden but come on, I’m just trying to help . . .” The Uchiha was telling the truth, deep down it felt as if his chest was collapsing. He would never admit it but . . . He always had this strange feeling towards the Kyuubi boy, like he wanted to be more than just friends . . . “Please, I promise none of what happens tonight will leave this place . . . You can trust me”

Sasuke didn’t know but just as he started speaking Naruto emerged from the bathroom, now clad in only a pair of boxers, and he heard what the boy had to say. The blonde now had his ear rested against the door, an arm on either side of his head, but it wasn’t a smile that adorned his face, a mixture of anger and grief had spread across his complexion. Why was he saying such things now when earlier he seemed very willing to agree with Sakura on wanting him out of the village? Why was he all of a sudden acting concerned? Naruto thought of Sasuke as a true friend, believe it or not after he returned from being with Orochimaru the two had become much closer. They talked to each other more, they hung out with each other more, they even had a lot of things in common once they both realized it . . . and Naruto thought maybe, just maybe, they’d love each other the same. His fists were now tightly curled into a ball of frustration as he clenched his eyes shut tight, tears spilling out for the second time that night.

I'm bearing his cross,
He's turned into my curse.

Sasuke waited a few moments, but when Naruto said nothing he turned around and sunk back to the floor, obviously admitting his defeat for the moment. The raven haired boy wouldn’t give up that quickly but he decided on giving the blonde a little longer to cool down, then he’d try again. As he sat there in thought of the day’s events he tried to figure out what could possibly be bothering Naruto SO much. Let’s see . . .All I did was say hi to him at the Ramen shop, then he bit my head off like I just came over and told him all the Ramen was gone. Then, then what? Then I chased him home and found him in the shower with the red tinted water . . . but he seemed fine when he got out, yea . . .he was definitely fine. Sasuke closed his eyes and leaned his head back as the thought of Naruto getting out of the shower returned to him and a smirk crossed his face. The water running down his toned body in little droplets across his tanned skin. Sometimes being a ninja paid off greatly. Without his knowing Sasukes cheeks were a glowing shade of red and down below stirred a problem that was only growing bigger until something snapped the Uchiha from his wonderful daydream.

Naruto had remained quiet for a moment until he could not take anymore, the tears and the pain had become too much and he sunk down to his knees, reaching up weakly to unlock and open the door. To his surprise Sasuke had been on the ground, leaning against his door and when this door was opened the raven haired boy lost his support and fell back into the lap of one very distraught Naruto. He noticed the dumb look on his comrades face and pushed the Uchiha from his lap only to stand back up and pull the confused boy back inside.

Sasuke looked up into those beautiful azure eyes, which were upside down of course, and smiled, wanting to cuddle into his lap and never get up again. But before this plan could be put into action he was pushed rather hard then dragged back inside Naruto’s apartment. He clumsily stood back up on his own and looked over to the blonde who was seething before him. He blinked and it was too late.

Once Sasuke was standing on his own Naruto grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him close, holding up his fist at the same time and thrusting it towards the boy’s face. When Naruto forced Sasuke to the floor once again with his punch he got down and straddled the boy before he could move again, pinning his wrists down onto the hard, wooden floor. He narrowed his eyes as Sasuke looked angrily up at him.

Sasuke didn’t think he deserved any of this and tried to push back on the boy but at the moment that was proved impossible. I guess people really are stronger when there fighting for a purpose . . . But what was Narutos? Sasuke opened his mouth to speak

The blonde gave him no time to get out what he was going to say before he just started going off on his own tangent “What do you want?! Why are you all of a sudden caring about me?! Why won’t you just leave me alone, huh?! I said I was fine! I don’t need your help!” As he screamed this at the very flustered boy below him he was trying to fight back tears but the moment he was silent for just a second it all came out and his grip loosened ever so slightly around the Uchihas wrists “Why would you do that to me? . . .Why would you say such things? . . .I-I thought we were friends . . .” Naruto then collapsed onto the boy in tears, not knowing what else to say, or even if he could speak anymore without it being incomprehensible through all the sobs.

When Naruto was saying all this, Sasuke was lying below him listening intently. He had no idea that the boy was hurting so much . . .Sasuke thought it was just some stupid reason but apparently it was he himself who caused Naruto all this damage. Without thinking he let a few tears fall as he sat up a bit and took the smaller Kyuubi boy in his arms, wrapping them around him tightly. He would try talking to him again when he calmed down, and he doubted that the boy would be able to get anything out at the moment anyway. This left Sasuke with so many questions and yet . . . he waited.

Naruto sobbed out all the pain and suffering he had held in for so many years onto Sasuke’s shoulder, the very one who had caused him all the trouble that day, but he couldn’t help it . . .His feelings for Sasuke were too strong even if the boy didn’t feel the same way about him. He grasped onto the boy’s shoulders and buried his head into the nape of the Uchihas neck, no doubt soaking that part of his shirt. But one thought did cross his mind. If Sasuke truly wanted him gone . . . Would he really be going through all this, for him?

Break this bittersweet spell on me,
Lost in the arms of destiny.
