a cup of hot chocolate; part one:

Sasuke.

I guess he’s cool.

He has his own fan club.

But, personally, I can’t stand him.

He’s always hanging out with Naruto, but that’s a given because they’ve been best friends since as long as anyone can remember. I don’t really care that he’s friends with Naruto, but because he’s always around him, I can’t talk to Naruto. If only Sasuke’d leave Naruto alone, for just a few minutes, I could ask Naruto out. But no. they’re always together, before school, during school, after school. They’re always going over each others houses. It’s so annoying! Every day, Sasuke walks Naruto to and from school. He’s completely unapproachable.

No one can even get close to Naruto. Sasuke won’t let them. But Naruto doesn’t seem to mind. No. He’s perfectly happy to just be with Sasuke. It’s so annoying!

The moment Sasuke leaves Naruto alone, I’m going to approach him. He knows that. He knows I like Naruto. That’s why he doesn’t leave him alone. He doesn’t want Naruto to be with anybody but him. Stupid greedy Sasuke. I don’t know how he keeps Naruto blind to the fact that he likes him. I mean, c’mon. It’s so obvious it’s not even funny.

Stupid Sasuke. I will get Naruto from you. You just watch.


Sasukes’ POV


I met Naruto at his house, like I do every school day. I walked up to his house to find him sitting on his front steps, waiting for me. “Sorry to keep you waiting.” I apologized as I approached him.

“Don’t be. I didn’t.” he said with a big smile on his face.

He was always so happy to see me, and I loved being with him too. We talked as we walked to school, and I wondered if I should tell him how I feel. I decided against it, but know that I should. He’s my best friend. He deserves to know.

I’m afraid to tell him, though. I think it might ruin our relationship. I know other people are starting to get suspicious of me. If I just told him, maybe they would leave us alone. Until then, I’m going to keep him to myself. If I don’t someone else might take him. Like Gaara.

I know he likes Naruto. I’ve known he likes Naruto. Probably even before he knew himself. He used to be our friend, back in elementary school. When I realized he liked Naruto, near the end of sixth grade, I told him he couldn’t be our friend anymore. When he asked why, I told him ‘Because Naruto’s mine.’ if he hadn’t liked Naruto, he’d probably still hang out with us.

I know he still likes Naruto, as do I. That’s why I don’t let anyone near him. I don’t want anyone else to her close to him. I don’t wasn’t anyone else to like him. It’s selfish, I know, but he doesn’t seem to mind. When I told him Gaara wasn’t going to play with us anymore, he didn’t question me, Naruto is mine and mine only. No one else can have him. That’s just the way it is. No questions asked.


Gaaras’ POV


I saw Naruto walking up to the school with Sasuke at his side. I cringed as they walked past me together. I tried to catch Naruto’s eye, but he ignored me and continued to focus on Sasuke.

I wished I could be the one Naruto was talking to. I hate Sasuke. How come he gets to be the only one to be with Naruto? I’d give anything to be in his place.

I walked a few feet behind them, fallowing them down the hall to our class, glaring at the back of Sasuke’s head. I watched Naruto and pretended he was walking with me, smiling and talking with me, holding my hand…

What?

Since when did they hold hands?

I could see Naruto was blushing slightly as they continued to head towards the class room. He looked even cuter with the light blush gracing his features (A/N: hope I said that right). Darn that Sasuke. I’d had it with him! That’s it. I had made up my mind. ‘After class, I’m going to approach him.’ I decided, ‘I’ll tell him how I feel and deal with the consequences.’ Naruto would have to decide between me and Sasuke. His old best friend and his new best friend.

“My heart is in your hands, Naruto.” I whispered to myself, “What you do with it is up to you.”


Sasukes’ POV


As Naruto and I approached the school I saw Gaara, standing there at the front of the school. He tried to catch Naruto’s eye, but Naruto didn’t even notice him. As we walked down the hall I felt him glaring at the back of my head. “Sasuke?” Naruto asked.

“Hmmm?” I looked at him. He has such beautiful eyes.

“Are you ok? You’ve been spacing out since we got here.”

I blushed and looked away. I decided now was as good a time as any to tell him. “Naruto…” I started to say.

“What? What is it?” he asked, concerned now.

“I…There’s something I have to tell you…”

“What?” he asked.

“I…I love you.” I said, turning away so he wouldn’t see how red I was.

He continued to walk, unfazed.

He reached out and held my hand and whispered “Thank you.” He blushed.

I looked at him. He looked then times cuter than he normally did.

I held my head up high, as I walked hand in hand with him, down the hall.
