Third Person Pov

Waking up early, Sasuke found himself sleeping beside Roman, his arms were wrapped around him and Roman was snuggled in his chest. Sasuke sighed, remembering the events of last night. It reminded him of himself...

He didn't really expect either one of each other to be so straightforward but something about Roman made Sasuke want to stay be by his side forever. He didn't want to leave him.

Sasuke sighed again, he barely met Roman and yet, he wanted him to stay with by his side. He turned to the smaller boy, studying his peaceful face. He had long white eyelashes and a small button nose. His cheeks were freckled and colored with a light pink hue. He looked so calm and innocent, it made Sasuke want to reach out and caress his face. He never felt this way before. Sasuke jumped at the sound of his heart, it was pounding in his chest. He fell off the couch, landing with a soft thud, and groaning in pain.

His face was tinted red, and his chest felt warm. It heaved with a slow rhythm. 'What is this feeling?' He thought worriedly. He never felt this way before about anything or anyone. It was all new to him. It was strange and frightening, yet it felt warm and comforting. He kind of like the feeling. Minutes passed by and the feeling faded away as he thought less about it, sweat strolled down his face.

'Its probably nothing.' He assured himself getting of the floor. But he knew his asserment was a lie. We all know he was lying to himself. Don't we.

He checked the time. It was 4:00 a.m., the normal time he would regularly wake up and begin his day. He yawned giving a large stretch and looked at the sensitive boy once more. He really couldn't help himself. 'He looks like an angel...' Sasuke exhaled, blushing softly. He flinched, jumping almost, slapping himself right across the face. It stung and it irritated the smooth skin on his face.

The loud slap woke Roman, making his eyelashes flutter open. "W-wha- S-Sasuke?" He mumbled, gazing up and stretching his arms out to clutch his shirt. He focused his eyes on Sasuke's face, spotting the red mark he made on his own face. Roman gasped, scrambling off the couch. "S-Sasuke are y-you o-okay?!" He said, grabbing his face worriedly. His small face held a panicked look, it made Sasuke's heart throb. He let go of his face hurriedly and searched around the apartment. "D-do you h-have an e-emergency k-kit?!"

He continued to shuffle around the apartment frantically until he found the emergency kit underneath the bathroom sink. He hurried back to the taller boy, sitting him down on the gray couch and opening the kit hastily. His hands trembled slighty as he uncapped an ointment and rubbed it on Sasuke's cheek precariously.

Sasuke could only sit on the couch dumbly, allowing the small boy to take care of him. He was fighting the blush that was attempting to spread to his cheeks and his brain stopped working for minutes. Roman pulled out a patch, carefully putting it over the red mark. "T-there!" Roman cheered, giving Sasuke a delicate smile. Sasuke felt himself melt, he felt the 'feeling' come back to him again.

Roman blinked, looking at Sasuke's red and zoned out face. He was staring plainly at the wall besides him. It was a bit scary. It kind of freaked him out a bit. Roman poked Sasuke's nose softly, avering him from his ten thousand stare. He blinked, turning his attention back to the soft little angel. 'Is this adoration?'

Roman ducked his head in embarrassment, his freckled cheeks colored... maybe he overeacted. Maybe Sasuke was just think about something. "S-sorry I-I should h-have asked f-first... T-to-uh." He muttered, shuffling his feet. Sasuke sat there, staring at the timid boy. He was so humble and kind. It made him want to give him a bunch of gifts and repay him for the small acts of kindness he gave to him.

Sasuke gave him a small smile, patting his head softly. "Thank you, Roman." He said, touching the new patch on his face. Roman nodded his head bashfully, fiddling with the rim of his sweater. He turned his head sheepishly, spotting the clock and jumped at what time it was. "I-I t-think w-we're g-going to b-be l-late." He mumbled, pointing at the clock.

"Your-ah- your right!" He coughed, stumbling over his words, jumping to his feet. "We- uh-we should get going..." He grabbed Roman's sleeve pulling him to his room. "W-what a-are w-we g-going t-to d-do?" He stuttered, obliging to the room Sasuke was pulling him to.

"We are going to get you some clothes for today." Sasuke said, opening his closet and throwing out sweatshirts and shorts that he didn't always wear. He put the stack in the small boys arms making him stumble around. He pulled him out the room and into the bathroom. "I have extra toothbrushes on the left cabinet and bandages are above that cabinet." He tried saying as casually as he could, pulling out more pairs of socks and boxers out. "Pick out anything you want out of this pile, it'll be all yours." He said, hurrying along. "You get prepared while I make breakfast."

Roman sputtered as Sasuke closed the door. "W-wait!" The door clicked and Roman sat in a pile of clothes. He bit his lip softly feeling the fabric around him. There were some many things Sasuke had offered him. He was so nice and thoughtful. He sighed. There was no way he could ever repay him.

Meanwhile, Sasuke cooked furiuosly, loathing himself for acting so dumb. He face was still red from earlier. 'Why am I acting like this!' He screeched internally, he really wanted to slam his face into the wall ten thousand times.

He plated the omelets he made, decorating the top with ketchup. He scurried around to get utensils and cups, he felt so rushed and faint. Was Roman going to be okay with him? Did he feel uncomfortable with him?
The more he thought about it the more he began to worry about the rest of the afternoon. Sasuke gritted his teeth. 'Its going to be okay.' He assured himself,  'Hes going to be okay, too...'

His thoughts were interrupted by the clicking of the door. Roman hid behind the open door, struggling to get words out. "I-uh,um-" He sputtered, gulping harshly. He let go of the door, shuffling closer to him. Sasuke's eyes widened. He looked good in the clothes he gave him.

He was wearing the navy blue sweatshirt, and white shorts he had giving him and it fit him perfectly. He kept the bandages in the same place that they were before and he wore his white shoes. He was fiddling with his fingers, mumbling something underneath his breath. He felt kind of embarassed wearing Sasuke's clothes. It made him feel like a good-for-nothing mooching of him.

"Come." Sasuke commanded as nicely as he could, pointing at the table. "Go ahead.. Sit down."

Roman obeyed, sitting at the seat across from Sasuke. He quietly began to eat the steaming omelet he gave him, his cheeks blooming with a red tint as he savored the omelet. It was a simple food yet it taste outrageously good.

Sasuke interrupted his thoughts and blurted out, "Does it taste good?" His cheeks colored and his ears began to burn bright. It was a good thing his hair mostly hid it. Roman ducked his head in embarrassment, startled by the sudden attention Sasuke gave him. He nodded his head, trying to find the right words to say. "I-its v-very g-good!-" He stuttered, his ears and cheeks heated even more.

When they finished, Sasuke took the plates and began to wash them. Roman shook his head, stopping him before he could reach the sponge and soap. "A-ah- S-sasuke allow m-me t-to w-wash t-them." He sputtered, extending his hands out to him. "A-all y-you've d-done is b-been k-kind and p-providing to m-me..." He muttered, shuffling his foot. "T-this is t-the l-least I c-could d-do..."

Sasuke's lips pressed into a thin line, he saw his face twist with distress. "Okay..." He said, offering his a small smile. He ruffled his hair, making him squeaked in surprise, almost dropping the plates in the process.

He finished shortly, drying them and putting them on the rack. "Thank you, Roman." Sasuke said, patting his head, pulling him to the door. "Now its time to go to the Academy." He said locking his apartment and pulling Roman out with him.

Sasuke had a hold of Roman arm, he linked it with his own, pulling him along, hoping that Roman didn't mind. He didn't want him to get lost. Roman's face colored an even brighter red. Sasuke held his hand like it was nothing but to the poor timid boy he could barely handle any physical interactions much less any at all.

Around them, people whispered, and girls giggled. They had never seen the boy with anyone, much less someone new. It made them wonder how they had bonded together enough for Sasuke Uchiha to hold his hand. Sasuke payed no attention to them but Roman couldn't help but notice everyone stare at them. A day ago, they didn't seem to pay much attention to the boy but now he was surrounded by staring people. It made his knees feel like jelly, and his cheeks flare.

Sasuke noticed this and shot glares at anyone staring at Roman, making them pale and turn. He pressed closer to Roman, a scowl about his face. Together they reached the entrance, hardly anyone stared with the look the Uchiha gave them.

He pushed the door open, a few people were there, sitting quietly or chatting with each other. They turned to look as both of them walked down together. Instead of chattering, the few people broke out in whispers, making Sasuke roll his eyes.

They sat at the far end, with Sasuke in the corner so that only Roman could sit next to him. He saw Roman trembling uncontrollably and patted his head. "Its okay..." He whispered. "Just ignore them."

Roman nodded, scooting closer to him, but continued to shake. Sasuke sighed, unsure of what to do. He wasn't the best comforter, but an idea popped into his head. "Roman..." He started slowly. "You can lean on me while the lesson continues and after we can go to your old home to get your things..." He said, caressing his cheek. "Do you want to do that?" He asked, looking straight into his eyes.

Roman perked up, brightening with excitement. "Really?" He asked hopefully, a hesitant smile made its way in his face.

Sasuke nodded his head, confirming his answer. "Of course." Roman bounced, leaning on him slowly, making him forget about everything else. "Thank you, Sasuke!" He mumbled, cuddling into his chest, his heart beating a million mile per hour.

Sasuke smiled softly, a content sigh left his mouth.
