Allegro by MelodicWriter, E, 187k.

Naruto likes ballet. Sasuke is a male ballet dancer.

do you know what love is? by starlitdagger, G, 8k.

"But what's with the question? Is there something you need to tell me? That they need to tell me?" Fugaku asked.

Mikoto shook her head. "I don't know yet." she felt Fugaku tilt his head behind her. "I trust him. You need to trust him in this too."

"Trust him?"

"That he'll tell us when he's ready."

Enter Naruto by KinomiAkai, E, 112k.

Sasuke's a writer whose been writing the same words for years. He's tired, he's annoyed, and his money situation is...pretty messed up, even by student standards.

Enter Naruto.

Modern AU (College/University), Sasunaru/Narusasu. Complete! Not a birthday fic, but posted for Sasuke's birthday!

kiss me, we're on fire, babe by sanguinedawns, E, 31k.

Before leaving, he dims the light, glancing over his shoulder at the sight of Sarada and Naruto. The idiot pricks at his skin, eliciting a budding feeling he’d long forgotten could be felt—ignoring the warmth spreading through his chest he exits the room. Funny thing is if you don’t nip the bud before full bloom they keep growing, vines and petals thriving under the sun. Sasuke’s not bothered to pluck it just yet.

or; sasuke's a single-dad sous chef and naruto's an elementary school teacher.

simmer by moonwatcher, E, 73k.

Naruto scrubs at his cheek with the palm of his hand, feeling his face flush with the remnants of anger from the day. “He’s not easy to please. Always has to have the last word. Tries to one up me in the subtlest ways, the bastard.”

“Oh?” his mother sounds more curious now and Naruto starts to pout.

“What are you thinking?”

“Just that he sounds a little familiar is all.”

Something Good by KinomiAkai, E, 93k.

Some people are assholes. Some people are kind. It's when those are the same person that things get real confusing.

"I know your heart, and you, mine."

This scene in the war arc is underrated and important because Naruto is letting Sasuke know that he's been noticing, and is aware of, Sasuke's protectiveness over him throughout the entire war. Naruto says "just like that time on the bridge.... you said your body just moved on it's own." And Sasuke is silent because he is being called out on his weak spot for Naruto by Naruto himself:

Then Naruto de-codes Sasuke's silence as confirmation that Sasuke is self-aware about his protective actions. He then lets Sasuke know that he understands Sasuke's awareness by straight-up outing it, basically saying "well... anyway, I'm sure you you know what I mean, Sasuke."

Notice how many times in the manga, Naruto does all of the verbal labor for Sasuke, yet still conveys to the reader exactly what Sasuke is feeling and thinking? It happens at their reunion at Orochimaru's hideout, when they meet after Sasuke kills Danzo (Naruto's confession) and all throughout the 4th war, vote1 and vote2. So basically it happens every interaction they have once Sasuke starts trying to push Naruto away.

It really shows just how well Naruto understands Sasuke fundamentally, and is trying to understand him further. He is confident in his beliefs about Sasuke as a person, and Sasuke always ends up reaffirming those beliefs with silence or frustrated anger. Like when he grits his teeth and yells after listening to Naruto tell him he'll die with him, or when Naruto asks "why didn't you kill me back then?" and Sasuke responds with a heavy silence and then a white lie. Sasuke is silent or angry with Naruto when he knows Naruto is right about him. Because he knows there's nothing he can say because it's true, or it's a valid point. Usually something Sasuke is trying to forget or deny but struggles to. (His feelings for Naruto.)

Sasuke and Naruto are both hyper aware of how well they know eachother and what they feel for eachother. That's why Sasuke has a hard time letting Naruto go, or ignoring his presence. When he's met with Naruto's presence it almost seems like he HAS to stop and let Naruto explain or talk. In general, almost everyone will feel comfort and hope in someone that knows them so well. Because only someone who desires to know you, or knows you well already, can truly know what you want and need. Sasuke is always giving in to his urge to pause and seek out what Naruto thinks, Naruto's opinion (both during battle and during interpersonal communication.) It's just exceptional for Naruto and Sasuke's case because Naruto is successfully able to shamelessly verbalize what he knows Sasuke needs to hear. He becomes able to do this effortlessly and speak very intimate thoughts, even in front of other people, because of his intense desire to show Sasuke love and take action for Sasuke. Basically "Sasuke first, everything else second." That's why Naruto says "I'll know what to say when I see him again. I just have to meet with him again, then I'll know what to say to him." He can assess the mood, mental state, and physical state of Sasuke in the moment and know what to say to him. He is 100% certain of what Sasuke would need him to do, or be, depending on circumstance. That's how you truly know someone loves you and knows you. When they know what to say in your lowest and your highest moments. Or in any situation when put on the spot. No thinking, it's automatic.

This happens in real life too. "Knowing glances." "Speaking through looks alone." "She acts upset but she's actually happy." "I'm sure you know what I mean." Etc. All these types of communication require accurate prediction of the other person's thoughts. And accurate prediction requires knowledge of the other person on a deep emotional and/or moral level. These types of communication are important in knowing a close relationship from a distant one. It's a very specific and fragile way of communication that only works if you really know and understand another person, and that person understands you too.
