Okay so I feel horrible. I haven't updated in months and I am so sorry for that, well here's a little chapter to tide you over for a few days, I'll have a longer chapter soon. I promise! :D

Laughter filled Naruto's head. The laughter of the men, their faces screwed up into ones of monsters. Pain filled Naruto, his sobs and screams going unheard. Soon the voices of the men drifted into his mind.

"My little uke,"

"Pretty little bitch"

Soon the voices of his friends filled his head.

"He's disgusting, allowing a thing like that to happen to him! I'm embarrassed to know him, let alone be his girlfriend," Sakura?

Naruto drifted in and out hearing pieces of the conversation.

"A cold-hearted bitch, you use Naruto, break his heart and then you treat what happened as if it was his fault, but I've got a news flash for you. It's yours…!" Why was Sasuke yelling?

"…only had to use him b-because you are too dense to see how much you love me. I am positive if you allowed yourself to feel you would realize how much you really love me…"

Sakura, she, she was using me. I should of known.

"And as for who I love…I do have someone I love and it sure isn't you. This person as a heart of pure gold, and would never say a bad thing about anyone, he is beautiful inside and out, unlike you, you old hag." Oh, Sasuke loves someone? I wonder who. Wait, is Sakura crying? I guess she's leaving.

Oh, Sasuke's speaking again. "You have a problem with my feelings for Naruto?" For…me? Sasuke has feelings for me?

"Good, because my feelings for him aren't going anywhere." Sasuke, he's really saying this? I can't believe it! He loves me!

Naruto blinked slowly waking up. Had he really just heard that? It had to be a dream no way would Sakura would say all those terrible things about him, right? They may not be in love but for her to stomp all over their friendship like that? No way, that was all a dream, especially what Sasuke said.

'Sasuke doesn't love me. It wasn't real; don't get your hopes up like that, Naruto." Naruto thought to himself. He had been semi-conscious for the last five minutes listening to the exchange between Sakura, Sasuke and Kiba. Naruto looked to the side and saw his two closest friends, Sasuke and Kiba laughing. Naruto smiled a small genuine smile, glad that Sasuke and Kiba were getting along. Sasuke looked back at Naruto suddenly noticing that he was awake.

"Naruto, you woke up!" Kiba cried also noticing.

"Yeah…" Naruto croaked. "Was…was Sakura just here? I thought I heard her voice."

Kiba and Sasuke exchanged glances unsure of what Naruto had heard. "Well, um, yeah. She just dropped by to say-!"

Kiba was cut off by Naruto sighing. "Don't bother trying to cover for her, I'm sure whatever she had to say was mean and bitchy. I already know she was just using me."

"Oh." Sasuke and Kiba said together. Well, so much for Naruto being an oblivious fool.

"Anyway, I'm hungry. Is there a chance of me getting some Ramen?" Naruto asked a ghost of his former smile appearing on his face. It looked like he wasn't as depressed as before.

"No problem buddy, I'll be back in five," Kiba cried out standing up to rush out of the room in search of Ramen. Naruto smiled slightly laying back down to wait. He looked out of the corner of his eyes to see Sasuke staring at him intently.

"What, Teme?" he said narrowing his eyes in suspicion.

"You look good today," Sasuke said smirking, causing Naruto to blush. "Have I ever told you how cute you are when you blush?"

Naruto's heart pounded in his ears as Sasuke reached over and brushed some of Naruto's overgrown hair out of his eyes. "W-w-what…?"

Sasuke smirked and leaned forward slightly, his torso now fully resting on Naruto's bed. "I said I think you're cute," Sasuke said confidently. Naruto gasped as Sasuke closed in more distance until there foreheads were touching forcing him to stand up. "Naruto, I don't now if this is the right time to tell you or not, but I have feelings for you. Even if you don't return them, I'll wait until you can, okay? I'll be here for you."

Naruto let out the breath he had been holding, letting it mingle with Sasuke's. 'Is this a dream? Sasuke's confession came out of nowhere. Had he been waiting this whole time to tell me? Does he mean it?'

Sasuke leaned in closer and brushed his lips against Naruto's. "Let me know when you're ready," he said pulling back with a smile.

Naruto was shocked to say the least. Before he could reply Kiba walked in smiling and carrying takeout boxes. "Hey, guess who I found waiting outside the door," he said pulling a reluctant Gaara into the room by the arm.

"Kiba," Gaara said glaring at the dog lover, "I think Naruto and Sasuke were busy, maybe we should come back."

Sasuke waved Gaara's concerns off easily enough. "Nope, it's fine. You're welcome to visit Naruto anytime."

"Uchiha, you seem to be in a good mood. What happened when I was gone?" Kiba said confused at why the Uchiha seemed so calm when just hours ago he was fidgeting over Naruto's bedside and anxious for something.

Sasuke merely smiled pleasantly, well as close to pleasant as someone you never smiled could get. "I just finally got a chance to say something that has been bugging me for years."

"You are weird, Sasuke." Everyone laughed including Gaara, Naruto long forgetting all about Sakura and choosing to deal with Sasuke later. For now he'll just enjoy the peace for a little while, at least.
