Dinner Date
Naruto's eyes widened in surprise at the fact of Sasuke being so close to him at this moment. Damn. How had the shinobi find out? It was only a few tears. There was no point in lying to the Uchiha. Naruto really rather not have Sasuke think that those tears were his fault. They weren't in any way. Naruto just sometimes.. had to let his guard slip. He wasn't one to cry while on a date. Who was he kidding? He's never been on a date before. Not until tonight.
Naruto leaned back out of reflex, but found there wasn't much to lean. His blue eyes held Sasuke's onyx ones. This..comfort. It was rare from the Uchiha, but well needed. Naruto tried laughing it off and scratching the back of his head.
"It's nothing, Sasuke-kun. Don't worry about me, 'ttebayo."
Even as Sasuke stayed silent and looked very serious, as if Naruto couldn't fool him or say that 'it's nothing', Naruto kept a fake smile on his face. It was scary to think that it looked so geniune and real.. How many of Naruto's smiles has been fake before? How many times has he had to pull through his tears and pain with a smile to reassure everyone that he will be alright, then break down behind closed doors? Who knew.
