Ever since he was little, Sasuke has alwasys had one wish whenever he blew out the candles on his birthday cake.

I wish I could be Naruto's friend.

Though the wording varried from year to year, his wish did not.

I wish Naruto and I were friends

Even the year Itachi killed their entire clan, he knew, even as a child, nothing could be done to bring anyone back and make his life the same it had always been, convincing himself everything would be fine if only he could have the blonde by his side. Though that was the first year he ever fauletered when he took a bite of his self made cake.

Dang...I wish I could make a better cake...No!! That's not my wish! I wish I was Naruto's friend!!

After that, his culinary skills improved, and he didn't slip up again. It wasn't until he hit puberty that his wish changed, after months of balttling internally with himself, and finallycoming to terms with himself when he and Naruto kissed and he couldn't helphis hear fluttering as his lips were crushed against the younger boy's and the unmistakeable urge to remain like that for a while.

I wish Naruto was my boy friend.

Needless to say, he was estatic, though he never showed it, now that Naruto and him were teammates, even though hi sstoic attitude towards the blonde never changed, and their relationship never improved in the way he'd like.

I wish I was Naruto's boyfriend.

Years kater, with his hormones raging, he realized something else and his wish changed again, not that he'd ever admit what it was.

I wish me and that sexy dobe, Naruto, were lovers.

Finally fed up wiht their unchanging relationship and a life time of ungranted wishes, he decided to take matters into his own hands. After he finally gathered up enough courage, he approached the blonde one day while he was all alone. He quickly admitted his feelings for the boy and swooped in to kiss the speechless, shocked boy, surprised when Naruto returned the kiss with just as much passion.

Turns out, Naruto had been wishing the same thing all these years too.
