Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Kesenai Ai no Memories ❯ Realize ( Chapter 7 )

Chapter Seven “ Realize “

 

After telling the moments Naruto had with Okami, both of them resumed on doing their work. One night, Tsunade-sama ordered the Rokudaime to accomplished some paper works before tomorrow, making Naruto continuous on grousing about it… or maybe he's just irked because he needed to have overtime just to finish the task and luckily, Sasuke chose to stay in the office until the work was done.

 

 

“ Do you want me to help you there? I'm done here… “, Sasuke asked to the blonde whom that time was very annoyed on doing such paper works and still, blabbering about it.

 

“Uhm, yea… can you help me with this one? This really drives me nuts! “, Naruto annoyingly said.

 

“ Why you should need to finish that thing this day? We can have it tomorrow… “, Sasuke remarked whilst walking towards the Hokage.

 

“ Argh! That granny orders me to finish this before tomorrow comes… If I know, she just pass this insane task to me and instead of doing this, she just having a good time in casino… “, The blonde grumbled and the Uchiha was now beside him.

 

“ Okay, calm down… “, While being said Sasuke turned the swivel chair in front of him with his left hand and the blonde began to doubt on his action. He was astounded as the Uchiha lowered his head and gave him a simple smooch on his lips.

 

“ Everything is gonna be fine… Now, let's see what can I do with this stuff… “, Sasuke had just uttered putting his sight towards the said paper and placed his right hand over Naru's right which that time was still holding a pen.

 

 

The Rokudaime blushed furiously as he noticed that Sasuke's smooth face was almost close to him… an inch close…and he was still shock to what Sasuke did to him.

 

 

“ He…he kissed me… this time, I realize that they have the same behavior… “, He thought and remembered the times when Okami was still with him whenever he felt unwillingness towards his work.

 

“ Whenever I have this kind of day, Okami would always remind me that everything will be fine and then, he would kiss me on my cheek… How come Sasuke… No… maybe it's only coincidence… or maybe… he intently did it… “, Naruto concluded and looked the Uchiha with a wry.

 

” I won't let you get away with this…you bastard… Grrr… “, The blonde angrily thought and still, never giving up on looking the Uchiha. Sasuke noticed that the Rokudaime wasn't paying attention.

 

“ Oi! Are you paying attention to what I'm saying? “, Sasuke annoyingly asked seeing that the blonde was scowling at him.

 

“ Hell NO! “, Naruto said almost shouting.

 

“ What?! “, he retorted.

 

“ What comes to your mind to do that to me you bastard?! “, Naruto angrily asked but still he was blushing making the Uchiha smirked.

 

“ Ah, that really bothers you… I've kissed you so you can quit on grousing around… that kind of attitude really irritates me… and if I don't stop you… maybe one of these days, I'm going to have an ear problem… “, Sasuke bantered.

 

“ Why you!!! “, Naruto yelled and talked to himself, “ I thought that they're the same but I'm wrong! Okami is way better than Sasuke… No! Okami isn't like this at all! Hmp! “.

 

“ Don't get mad… instead of fooling around why not check and read this… that's the only solution I've created… “, Sasuke seriously suggested and resumed on his task.

 

“ Ah, domo… “, Naruto softly said and looked the Uchiha putting his eyeglass and started reading other reports, again. “ Wow! He really looks so handsome every time he wears a reading eyeglass… I wonder when he started using it… “, he blushingly thought but after reminiscing what the dansei did to him a while ago… his thought suddenly changed.

 

“ Wait a minute! Why should I praise him? He's a silly! Hmp! I just don't think like that… Shut up stupid brain! Argh! “, He annoyingly told to himself .

 

“ If you have a problem just ask me… “, Sasuke reminded and smirked.

 

“ Yes, bastard! Bleh! “, Naruto said and childishly tongued out

 

 

Hours passed and finally, the Rokudaime finished the paper works exactly 11 `o clock and that moment, Sasuke unintentionally fell asleep.

 

 

“ Yay! I'm done! That granny will just pick this thing and we don't need to be here so early tomorrow, am I right… Sasuke? “, Naruto happily asked but as he heard no response, he turned his sight to Sasuke and noticed that his best friend was already fell asleep.

 

“ Oh, boy… I bet he's very weary… I better wake him up… It isn't good if he sleeps here… “, He smilingly thought and shook gently Sasuke.

 

“ Sasuke, I'm done we can go home now… wake up… “, He softly uttered. Sasuke gently opened his eyes and saw Naruto looking at him. He realized that he was asleep for hours.

 

“ Uhm… gomen nasai… I've fell asleep here… “, Sasuke sleepily apologized and yawned. Naruto guided him to stand and they started to get out in the office.

 

 

While walking in the street, Naruto was still supporting Sasuke to walk and as he noticed that they were three houses away from his residence and it wasn't good if Sasuke would continue walk home… he was still sleepy and if he let him he might pass out on the streets.

 

 

“ Sasuke, I don't mind if you'll sleep in my house it's not good for you to walk home ”, Naruto offered.

 

“ But… ”, Sasuke reluctantly uttered but the blonde never letting him go and still held him tight.

 

“ Come on, this is the only way to thank you for helping me… okay?… “, Naruto smilingly expressed and the Uchiha just took the offer.

 

 

No choice… even he wanted to continue walk home Naruto wouldn't let him… and to avoid any verbal fight… he just accepted it even though he knew how immodest his best friend when it sleeps. As they arrive on the blonde 's house, they definitely changed clothes first before going to bed.

 

 

“ Here… wear this kimono for a mean time… and don't worry, we don't need to go in the mansion early… I know that granny will understand that we're both weary from her insane task “, Naruto explained while giving the garment to the Uchiha.

 

“ Arigato… It's all right for me if I'll sleep in the couch… “, Sasuke just uttered and donned the kimono.

 

“ Uhm, this time we need to sleep in one bed… I don't mind at all… You can't rest well there… “, Naruto said and of course, he couldn't help himself not to blush a little.

 

“ It's a bit vile if I let him sleep there… I'm the one who invite him here… Anyway, I can't rest well either if I'll chose to sleep in the couch or in the floor… “, He said within himself.

 

“ Ayotto… Aren't you going to sleep yet? “, Sasuke shyly asked seeing Naruto was still standing near the closet.

 

“ I need to go to the bathroom first before I go to bed… Don't be shy… just imagine that this is your house, too… Oyasumi nasai, Sasuke… “, Naruto expressed and then, he went inside the bathroom. Sasuke went on bed first and fell asleep.

 

 

As soon as he got out from the bathroom, Naruto silently and carefully got himself in bed… trying not to disturb Sasuke from his sleep. But before he decided to sleep, he took one last glance on the sleeping Uchiha. Naruto gently position himself to see the Uchiha 's face clearly `coz Sasuke turned his back when he sleeps… or maybe he intently did it `coz he couldn't resist if he woke up seeing the cute face of his secret love…inch closer to him… and that really made him came up to stupid action like kissing Naruto or any possible actions that might come out in his head.

 

 

 

“ Even in your sleep… you really look handsome… Sasuke… “, Naruto smilingly mumbled whilst gingerly touched Sasuke's face with his fingers. He concluded that Sasuke wouldn't hear whatever he said `coz he's already asleep but little does he know that the dansei was listening.

 

“ You know what, as the days passed by… I've realized that I haven't completely erased those memories we had… and for me, it's a bit aggravating… even how long we had secluded and even I've fell in love to someone… I'm still in a cage of our past… I really don't understand why… “, The blonde still mumbled. His fingers were now on the Uchiha 's soft lips and Naruto `s smile disappeared gradually.

 

“ Maybe that's the reason why Okami had left… maybe he wants me to see the reality…about our severed bonds but… I'm still… I'm still afraid to try… that maybe one day… you will leave me again… and if that will happen again… I don't know… what to do… I hope you understand…there is still hesitation inside of me “, Naruto softly uttered but with pain in his voice and this time, his tears fell on Sasuke's cheek.

 

“ Good night, Sasuke… “

 

 

After that, Naruto decided to sleep and he embraced Sasuke even if only in Sasuke's back. On the other hand, Sasuke wanted to turn around, meet Naru's eyes and reveal his real emotion towards the blonde while Naruto was saying those words to him but he insisted himself not to do so. It wasn't the proper time. As he felt, that Naruto was completely asleep, he gently averted himself and drew Naruto much closer to him.

 

 

“ I understand and I'm always ready to wait until you finally accept me again… without any doubt… Naru… Oyasumi nasai koibito… “, He softly muttered and kissed the blonde `s forehead.

 

 

He tightly held the blonde `coz it was only his chance to be close like that and it wouldn't happen again. He didn't how long will he wait to have Naruto again… as his iinazuke.
