Title: Tilt

Disclaimer: Naruto and Co. belongs to Masashi Kishimoto, not me, and I am not getting paid to write little dribs and drabs like this. I merely like to show off my creativity. *grins*

Summary: When you realize that everything happens for a reason. [SasuNaru]

A/N: This idea came from thinking about random, fluffy SasuNaru moments. Ah ha ha…I don’t know how fluffy this will be, so tell me later.

Oo Oo Oo Oo Oo



The grass was cool against his skin but it stuck to the back of his legs. The shade of the trees kept the sun from burning his sensitive skin. It was a hot summer afternoon, but from where he lay, he could feel a cool breeze coming from the lake. He felt isolated from the rest of the world and would’ve liked it to stay that way, except there was a certain blond-haired nin trying poorly to mask his chakra.

“I know you’re there, dobe.” Sasuke grunted, not bothering to open his eyes. The Genin was loud enough for the Uchiha to know that he had jumped down from where he was hiding. The dark-haired teen was more amused than angry that his teammate had been able to hide for so long.

“How’d you know I was there, teme?” Naruto asked loudly, dropping down next to his more stoic rival. He lay back on the cool grass, half underneath the shade, and propped his arms behind his head.

“You’re too obvious in that orange jumpsuit, usuratonkachi.”

“You had your eyes closed!”

“That doesn’t make a difference. It speaks loud enough.” Sasuke snorted. He wanted so badly to reach over and smack the blond a good one, but he was just too content to move. The world around him was stifling hot and here, in the little world Naruto had just invaded, it was Heaven.

“So…why are you all the way out here?” Naruto asked casually, purposefully ignoring Sasuke’s remark about his choice of clothing and settled himself further into the grass. It was so cool against his skin…and his jacket really had to come off.

“The shade is cool.” Sasuke’s ears perked at the soft sound of Naruto unzipping his jacket and had to fight to keep his eyes closed. It was bad enough it was above 90 degrees. Now he had to erase the mental image of a naked Naruto from his mind? Life was unfair.

“You don’t have to train with Kakashi-sensei today?” The blond asked obliviously.

“I’m here, aren’t I?”

“…Oh.”

“Oh.” Sasuke teased. The sun stung his eyes as he tried to open them, tried to see the expression on his teammate’s face. His vision was hazy and unfocused for the better part of three minutes and by then Naruto was grinning again. “What are you grinning at, dobe?”

“You’re face is all scrunched up. It’s, uh, I don’t know.” The blond stopped himself quickly, his cheeks coloring. Sasuke raised an eyebrow at him, his eyes completely adjusted to the bright light. Naruto was blushing like there was no tomorrow. Holy…

“It’s what, Naruto?” Sasuke pressed, the corners of his lips quirked. The dark-haired teen found the energy to reach over and nudge his friend’s arm. He found this situation to absolutely hilarious. He had Konoha’s second loudest ninja (Konohamaru had usurped the first spot) sputtering and blushing. He wished he had a camera stashed somewhere close by so he could catch this moment. “It’s what, dobe?” The Uchiha snickered.

Sasuke barely had time to register the soft ‘humph’ Naruto made before the blond sat up and leaned over him, a pink tongue wetting equally pink lips. Said pink lips came crashing down on the Uchiha’s own, making his breath catch in his throat. Why the hell was Uzumaki Naruto kissing him? Why did the world feel like it tilted every time that pink tongue drew lazy patterns on his lips? And why the hell was he kissing back?!

Naruto pulled back abruptly, blushing hotly, short of breath. Sasuke watched through half-lidded eyes as the blond nin sat back on his heels and said shyly, completely unlike himself, “It’s cute, teme.”
