Naruto and Sasuke were known by everyone that they are the best of friends. One boy wouldn't be seen without the other. And everyone got suspicious of that, so the usual crowd of friends cornered the Uchiha when he was leaving Naruto's apartment to head back home.

"Hey Sasuke!" Kiba shouted, catching the young Uchiha's attention.

"Hn." Sasuke replied as he walked towards the crowd.

He raised a brow at his friends, everyone was there. Neji, shikamaru, Tenten, Shino, Hinata, Ino, Sakura, Choji, Kiba and his dog Akamaru, and Rock Lee. What do they want? They've been very sneaky around him and Naruto.

"What's up with you and Naruto?" Choji said clearing the majority of their questions and getting straight to the point.

"What?" Sasuke said tilting his head.

"What's your relationship." Shikamaru rephrased.

"We're best friends." Sasuke stated as if it were obvious.

"Well duh, we know that, we wanted to know if you guys have feelings for each other." Ino urged on, as the rest nodded, leaning forward to get a better hearing, as if missing this question will end their lives in a second.

"Feelings for each other?" Sasuke repeated as he was in deep though. "I don't know about Naruto, but I love him more than a best friend should."

He confessed, finally, but what they really needed is for Naruto to hear it as well.

"Did you tell him how you feel?" Sakura said as she leaned forward.

"No, it's too much work, plus I have better things to do that confessed my undying love for him." Sasuke said as he shoved his hands into his pockets and left home, thinking about his blonde angel.

"What an idiot." Choji grumbled out through half chewed potatoes chips while the rest simply nodded.

"We need to help them out, well at least make Sasuke confess to Naruto!" Rock Lee shouted with a determined face. "Or their youthfulness won't last!"

"It's too troublesome." Shikamaru said with a sigh.

"Everything is too troublesome for you!" Ino yelled as she hit his team mate on the head full force. "Now think up of a strategy to force Sasuke to confess."

"Make him jealous." Shikamaru said as he left to take a nap, leaving the others to ponder at the sentence.

"Genius!" Sakura shouted with a fist in the air. "All right, everyone needs to pitch in tomorrow, I'll set up everything."

"Why do you get to do everything?" Ino glared at the pink haired girl.

"Because I can!"

"I want to help too!"

"You are!"

"No, I want to help set the plan!"

The two were arguing back and forth as the rest of the friends sighed and left to the meet up, which was of course at Shikamaru's house.

The following day the sun was raising to its peak while the rest of the village watered their lawns or set up their stores to sell their products. Sasuke as usual walked up to his best friends apartment and knocked onto the door. He heard shuffling from inside and soon enough the door swung open to reveal a half asleep Naruto with no shirt on and falling pajama pants. Subconsciously licking his lips he looked into Naruto's blue eyes with his own black eyes and scowled at him for torturing him.

"Naruto, it's the afternoon already and our last day off before we start missions." Sasuke informed the blonde. "Shower and get dressed, I'll meet at our usual place."

He turned to leave as he heard Naruto mumble something about being ready in thirty minutes. Sighing Sasuke settled with a slow walk down the gravel road and headed to the ramen shop. His heart finally settling after the mouth watering sight.

As he was arriving he saw many people in the restaurant, and not just any random people, he recognized their outfits to be his other friends. He sighed and walked forwards to the restaurant.

"Oi, what are you idiots doing here?" Sasuke said annoyed. "Beat it."

"Oh hey there Sasuke, I didn't know you came here." Rock Lee said, sounding very suspicious and strange.

"What are you guys up to?" Sasuke said, narrowing his black eyes as he looked at his friends.

"Oh look there's Naruto." Choji said in a somewhat rehearsed voice.

"Hey Naruto!" Ino said as she hugged him and pressed her chest onto the Blondie's arm, which didn't phase Naruto one bit, unlike the Uchiha who was glaring daggers at Ino.

"Hey guys, what up with everybody?" Naruto grinned as Ino slipped away and Lee went up, wrapping a hand around the blonde's shoulder and pulling him close.

"Nothing, we wanted to hang out with everyone on our last day without a mission." Lee said with a grin.

"That a great idea, I feel like I haven't spent time with any of you guys." Naruto laughed as they smiled at each other mischievously.

"Naruto you have something on your cheek." Shikamaru said as he saw Sasuke looking at his direction with an angered look, only to make him glare daggers at what he did neck.

He caressed the side of Naruto cheek and lingered there for a while longer than intended.

"Thank Shikamaru, but I could have cleaned my cheek on my own." Naruto said oblivious at what was happening.

"True, but I do as I please." Kiba said as Akamaru barked in agreement.

"Hey Naruto, do you want to hang out later today alone?" Choji spoke up, setting his chips down and very put of character as he grabbed Naruto's sleeve and held onto it for a while.

"I'd really-" Before Naruto had the change to say something else Sasuke cut it.

"Don't you guys think you're all being a bit touchy with Naruto?" Sasuke said, his glare long gone.

More than anything he was beyond mad, to the point were glaring wasn't fierce enough. His face was calm and plain as he gave a certain look to all of them that they were sure they would have nightmares if they weren't going to stop with their plan. But that only made them even more riled up.

Sakura stepped up with an innocent sweet smile as she wrapped her arms around Naruto's neck.

"Wow Naruto, you're eyes are so pretty, I've never noticed how bright they were." She said as she leaned forward to get a better look. Their lips getting closer and closer by the second.

Suddenly, Sakura went hurling through the air and slammed into the ground, her left cheek bruised and her bottom lip busted by the fist that was connected to her face just a millisecond ago.

Everyone stayed quiet, their eyes widened as they processed what had just happened. Their eyes ripped away from the passed out Sakura as they looked over at a seething and panicking Sasuke, his arm still outstretched while his fist was trembling.

In a quick and smooth move he had Naruto in his arm, he gripped his love tightly as he began talking hysterical. "He's MINE, MINE, MINE! And nobody else's." He began, as Naruto tried prying Sasuke's arms away from his neck, which were cutting off his air supply.

Soon his arms became weak as they dangled unable to do anything anymore as he spoke in a strained voice. "I... Can't...Bre... Breath." He weeped.

"Ah, sorry." Sasuke said noticing Naruto struggling as his demeanor became calm and stoic letting Naruto stand straight.

"Wow, didn't see that coming." Shikamaru said from the side lines as he looked at the scene amused.

"So Naruto, what do you think about Sasuke's confession?" Ino said as she looked at Naruto.

"Confession?" Naruto said confused as he finally regained some lost oxygen. "I've always known Sasuke liked me. I just wanted to see how and when he was finally going to tell me."

"So you know he likes you?" Tenten said surprised.

"Yes."

"Did you know about this?" Choji directed his question to a bored looking Sasuke.

"Hn." He agreed.

"Why didn't you say anything?" Choji said with a grumble.

"You never asked, you just said if I like him more than a friend, and if I had confessed." Sasuke argued.

"So what's your answer Naruto?" Kiba popped in.

"It wasn't much of a confession, but he never really asked how I felt for him, so I just let him be." Naruto answered.

"How did you find out he liked you more than a friend?" Rock Lee asked.

"It's really obvious, especially when he become slightly red when I change, and the way he licks his lips like a pervert when he sees any kind of body skin."

"Wow, I didn't know, Sasuke acted like an old man." Ino snickered.

"Hn." Sasuke disagreed with a small glare towards the blonde.

"You didn't answer my question." Kiba wined.

"I've always liked Sasuke more than a friend since the moment I laid my eyes on him." Naruto said with an innocent smile.

Everyone awed and nodded in approval, they were about to ask another question when suddenly Sasuke had attacked Naruto, his lips connecting with Naruto's. With everyone's squealing they left the two in their bliss.

"Are you going to order anything?" Ichiraku said from inside the stand.

"Help." Sakura said half dead on the floor as she tried to regain her strength. No one pain mind to the two and Naruto and Sasuke continued their action and left towards the blondes apartment.
