he doorbell rang and through the process of elimination I could already figure out who it was standing outside my front porch. It couldn't be Sakura because she was still sick, and it couldn't be Naruto becauseNo! Don't think about him, my heart began to ache at the thought of the blue eyed boy. Sighing heavily I forced myself out of the bed that I had been rotting in for the past three days. After pulling on a shirt and some shorts, I walked downstairs and opened the front door.

 

"Hello, Kakashi." I said; not really surprised that the Jounin was standing at my front door, my attention however was drawn to the person standing beside him.

 

"Hello Sasuke, I noticed that you've been missing in action lately..." Kakashi said with a cheerful disposition; making me envy him somewhat, "...So I came here to talk to you, I hope you don't mind that I brought Iruka with me as well."

 

"Whatever.", I didn't really care what the silver headed man wanted to do at this point. I stepped aside as both of the older males walked into my house. I couldn't help but notice how Iruka eyes were desperately looking at anything but me. Though I thought the action was weird, I didn't say anything to the Chunin.

 

Kakashi went into the living room, followed shortly by Iruka and myself. It wasn't until we all took are seats that the copy ninja began to speak.

 

"I'll assume by your appearance and the recent missions that you missed that all didn't go well with Naruto." I immediately wanted to answer Kakashi, but didn't, the fear that Iruka would react to anything that I had to say was too much to bear. I wasn't a fool. In my past attempts to get to Naruto's heart I noticed that Iruka seemed oddly close to the blonde. There weren't any doubts in my mind that the Chunin saw the dope as an adopted son. I looked toward Iruka, but saw no hint of objection coming from him.

 

"I ruined everything." I finally stated in a morose tone. "I thought that Naruto had finally returned my feelings and in thinking so I kissed him...well actually... I did a bit more than that, but we can save that discussion for another time." I noticed Iruka twitched a bit in his seat, but I ignored it.

 

"Well obliviously it seems that your actions shocked the boy." Kakashi added

 

"You think?" I said sarcastically while sliding down in my seat. "What am I suppose to do?"

 

"Talk to him." I lifted my head and looked towards the Chunin who was now looking at me for the first time since he had entered my house.

 

"What did you say?"

 

"I'm sure that Naruto was just surprised when he suddenly realized that you were in love with him. If you explain to him how you truly feel I'm sure he'll understand."

 

I looked at the older tan male in amazement. Was Iruka actually trying to help? And if so, why? The older male must have seen the confusion in my eyes and spoke again.

 

"I'll admit that it's hard from me to like you Sasuke." he mumbled

 

“Your distance. Your inability to talk to people, to open up. But most of all, the fact that most of the words you say are cruel and harsh... basically I think that your a...a..."

 

"A bastard.", the words burst from my mouth without hesitation

 

"Uh...yeah. And since I thought this, of course I didn't want you to hang around Naruto. I was afraid that your rough attitude would crush what little self-esteem the boy had, and when I saw you two at the carnival my fears only got worse. But after seeing you and hearing what you had to say I now realize that you must truly be in love with the boy."

 

I allowed a rare smile to appear on my face. I could see why Naruto loved Iruka so much. The Chunin only wanted what was best for the him and would try to protect him no matter what the cost. It didn't take long for me to see why Kakashi had brought Iruka with him. But there was still something lingering in my mind.

 

"Do you think he will love me back?" I asked.

 

"I'm not sure, but you can hope."
