Sky Flowers Chapter III.

"What the heck happened to you?"

Sai blinked at Naruto with a small smile. The blonde wobbled towards the stand with a small purple bruise on his cheek and teary eyes. Naruto rubbed his face spastically.

"I saw Sasuke."

"And?"

"Yeah. He hates me."

Sai's senior class was hacking away ay the rice ball stand out in the large school courtyard. Most of the main events and activities were held outside along with food and fireworks. Somehow they even had a small carnival ready to be set up the next day. Konoha High had a very impressive size yard for a high school. Naruto ignored the screams in the background as someone had just dropped a plank on their foot.

Sai sighed and ran his fingers through his hair with an amused look. He was trying to be serious, but this was just too much. "C'mon. Let's go take a rest. You look bad." Sai grabbed Naruto's hand and dragged him to the favorite oak tree on the far side of the courtyard.

The tree was huge, the biggest tree in the outer field and beautiful with ample branches, a think moss covered trunk and lush green leaves that quivered at the slightest bit of wind. The oak held many good memories for Naruto and his friends, including when they commandeered the spot from a few school assholes who owned it before.

A long story involving whipped cream, water balloons and Tsunade.

Long story.

Under the tree was always cool even in the blistering summer heat, and somehow warm in winter guarding the kids from the bitter wind with its long picturesque branches.

Sai sat Naruto down at the trunk and patted his head. "So what happened?"

"Nothing. But I always seem to fall on him. It sucks." Naruto plucked a few blades of grass from the ground and flicked them randomly into the breeze. "I'm always the one who looks like the dork."

"You are a dork." Sai ruffled his hair and sat down next to the blonde. He reached into his bag and pulled out a rice ball. "The girls just made these as samples for the festival. Try one."

Naruto quickly grabbed the food, stuffing it whole into his mouth. If anything made him feel better it was food. Well, good food anyways.

Naruto coughed and forced himself to swallow the disgusting rice ball. "Ugh! It tastes like shit! You guys suck!! I'm not eating at your place…"

Sai laughed. "I know, they're shit but I couldn't tell the girls. I just smiled and nodded yes. Work for anything and everything. Just nod and say yes."

Naruto and Sai leaned their heads against the trunk, enjoying the cool breeze and the sound of the rustling leaves.

"Why don't you just tell him you love him?" Sai asked gently, his voice floating lightly over the sound of leaves.

"Sai, seriously. And who ever said I was in love!?"

"It's obvious."

"….."

"Look, you never know until you try. And what are you going to lose if he rejects you, if he gets grossed out and calls you something or whatever? Friendship? You guys aren't exactly peas and carrots anyways."

Naruto closed his eyes, seeing flashbacks of those dark eyes starring back at him. "Maybe." He spoke. "I guess we'll just see."

Sai grinned and patted him on the head. "Don't stress. It doesn't suit you at all you baka. Oh and you get a free blowjob with that rice ball remember? Just kidding."

Naruto completely forgot his little issues as the day continued, what with building the rest of the haunted house and helping everyone pick out the costumes they were going to wear the following day. The house was coming out extremely well; the little class room was now a maze of horror complete with a fog machine and a chandelier. Naruto only vaguely wondered where the chandelier had come from.

The walls of the maze had been covered with long black drapes that swathed down in long velvet dangles onto the fake blood splattered floor. Naruto hung severed limbs and various organs on the maze walls and Hinata helped him arrange a bouquet of black roses on a cast iron mantle piece. It actually looked beautiful and Naruto thought it didn't fit the horror theme, but Hinata insisted her face beet red the whole time.

Shikamaru had a clever little idea and concocted a nifty little scare trap out of a few pieces of rope and some hooks. Whenever someone stepped on a trip wire, the ghost Kiba had brought swooped down to scare the unsuspecting little idiots that were sure to set the trap off. Lave it to Shikamaru to come up with something so brilliant yet so simple. Naruto's brilliant consisted of him placing a few whoopee cushions in the darker parts of the room.

"What? It'll scare people when they step on them" He explained to Sakura who was giving him death glares.

The science teacher Jiraiya lent Iruka-sensei some of his pet frogs to put in large jars around the place. Jiraiya had enough to spare since he had at least thirty frogs all over his class room from a little episode that resembled the scene from E.T.

The school curriculum called for frog dissecting and Jiraiya instead let the little slimy creatures free, screaming for them to live. It resulting in mass panic and the school being evacuated. Naruto and his friends helped him gather up the froggys which he decided to keep as pets.

The man loved frogs.

When school was finally dismissed at the usual time, Iruka reminded everyone to bring costumes for the final day of preparation before the festival started. Naruto had his mind set on his Dante cosplay outfit or maybe even the Pyramid Head mask he had made out of a cardboard box.

No one is scarier than Pyramid Head.

"Oh yeah, and no cosplay costumes please." Iruka yelled at the last minute as the class emptied.

Ah damn.

"Itachi?"

Sasuke knocked on his big brothers door loudly trying to be as annoying as possible.

"ITACHI!?"

"Oh my fucking god!! Hold on!!"

Sasuke heard rummaging and things falling over before the door slide open. Itachi looked at Sasuke with inequity through his messy bangs. The eldest Uchiha was a compulsive sleeper and Sasuke had just woken him up.

Sasuke invited himself into his brother's room and flicked on the lights. Itachi groaned. The room was mostly clean except for multiple large stacks of books and clothes basically pouring out of the opened drawers and his closet.

"What do you want baka?"

"I need to borrow something for the festival. A haunted house. And since you dress like its Halloween everyday…"

"Just find something." Itachi said lazily with a yawn and hoped back onto his springy bed. "You could wear one of the Lolita dresses."

Sasuke cringed at the thought of him having to wear a frilly dress. "I think I'll stay away from the Lolita." He muttered spotting a black dress with hot pink frill around a swirly corset.

Marie Antoinette on crack.

"I can't believe you actually wear this shit." Sasuke said holding the dress out in front of him like it was contaminated. Itachi shrugged.

"Only if Kisame wants me to wear it."

Sasuke immediately dropped the dress.

Kisame and Itachi were friends with benefits. A little tidbit.

"Ugh. Okay do you have anything for a guy that I can wear?"

"Look in the closet."

"Thanks…"

Sasuke spooned through a few weird looking gothic costumes all of which would have been perfect for the haunted house….or an S&M club. Either way.

"Hey, hey, not too far in there." Itachi called as Sasuke started to pull out a large black box. He got the hint and pushed it gingerly back in with a disgusted look. Itachi chuckled. "You act like it's so wrong."

"Isn't it?" Sasuke mumbled in annoyance.

"You're the one who's in love with Naruto-chan." Itachi's face melted into a wicked little smirk. Time for his favorite hobby; picking on Sasuke...

Sasuke blushed and threw a leather belt at his brother. Itachi gracefully dodged it. "Now now little brother. Temper." He shook a finger in amusement, clearly enjoying himself. "You told us everything in a drunken stupor last night so I suggest you watch what you say. Ever heard of blackmail?"

"I hate you." Sasuke blushed, aimlessly searching through the growing pile of clothing. He was never going to drink again as long as he lived and that was a pledge.

Itachi flopped himself onto his tummy and rested his chin in his palm. "Sasu-chaaan." He said in a sing song voice making Sasuke's face heat up. "Tell you're Nii-san everything about you're little unrequited love. Although it's not like I don't know." He smirked and Sasuke ignored him. "You're an idiot and I'm telling you this because I want you to realize how utterly clueless you really are." He rambled on. "If you would just tell Naru-chan you loved him I'm sure everything would work itself out."

"God, Itachi you don't know anything do you?" Sasuke snapped. "I can't tell him because it's fucking weird! We're both guys!! Naruto isn't like that and I sure hope I'm not either!"

"You're so immature." Itachi sighed. "And wear that one." He pointed to the clothes Sasuke had just pulled randomly out of the closet.

"Fine." Sasuke said huffily and stood up. He ignored Itachi's smug face and walked back into his room across the hall. He slammed the door and threw himself onto the bed.

"Tell him, huh?" He mumbled to himself. He could see Naruto's face clearly in his mind. The look he had given him that day. What exactly did it mean? "Maybe I'm reading too much into this." He closed his eyes and fell into an uneasy sleep.

Friday morning.

The last day of prep, and the festival began that night at exactly seven o clock. The student put the remaining props and faker spider webs around the maze for a nice daunting effect, and Akamaru was all ready to pop out of a treasure box in his corner to bark at passersby's. He was a mummy pooch, bandages wrapped around his little furry body, and synthetic blood splattered all over his once white hide. Kiba found this adorable and took to showing him to anyone and everyone who looked their way. "His fur is red! Now he's really Akamaru! You know, Aka, red? Get it get it?"

Nobody laughed.

Sakura and Ino added a nice but severely disturbing touch to the haunted house in the form of an old mall mannequin. Sakura designed her own Bride of Frankenstein outfit for it complete with the skunk patterned black and white crazy beehive. Naruto and Kiba had fun stuffing water balloons into its chest and referred to it the rest of the day as Tsunade.

The last bit of prepping was the lighting. Shikamaru brought red Christmas tree lights and Naruto helped him string them up along the classroom ceiling. When they turned off the lights to witness the fruits of their brilliant efforts, each corner of the maze was enveloped in an eerie red glow transforming the lame 1980's horror movie props everyone brought look ghastly and truly menacing. Even Tsunade Frankenstein looked creepy.

Finished.

"Amazing." Iruka-sensei said beaming proudly over their brilliantly morbid work of art. "It's perfect." Everyone grinned around dorkily, nodding their heads, the smugness thick in the air.

Naruto looked around his peers for one specific person in the crowd. He didn't see him.

"So, I guess free day." The class cheered. "Hush, hush. But that doesn't mean you can sit around all day. Go see if any of the other classes need help. Iruka pointed out the door and everyone slumped out, shuffling into each other to the hallway ready to get to work on the exact opposite of what they were just told to do.

"Oak tree?"

"Yuuup."

7:00 pm

Thousands of excited visitors and students flocked into Konoha High's courtyard in groups of five and more in anticipation for the evening's fun and games... The courtyard had totally been transformed. Games, foods stalls, presentations, dances, the entire yard was crowded with people laughing and chatting merrily.

People were at ease and carefree as they fished for apples, fished for fish, and ate rice balls and dango while dancing to the music the weird DJ Kimimaru blasted over the speaker system. The music rang across the entire festival ground, and weather it was their type of music or not, people couldn't help but get down. The dance floor was especially crowded and even grandma's were telling grandsons to hold their canes then getting out on the dance floor and shakin that thang as the teenagers say….

The large double doors to the main school building were nearly barricaded by a huge crudely drawn banner reading "Haunted House 2nd Floor." Interested visitors piled through the doors, fangirls giggling and gossiping about the cute guys in costume upstairs.

Naruto had come to the class at 6 with the intention of being a kick ass Kung Fu Zombie, but his awesome plan was quickly flung violently aside by a haughty Ino and smirking Sakura. Even Hinata looked suspicious.

"Naruto-kun, your costume has been rejected by the fashion committee." She made thumbs down. "You will now be wearing, this." She flung a plastic bag at him. Naruto shook it with a skeptical look plastered on his already irritated face. He was just about to put on blood stains and stunna shades too.

Naruto noticed Sakura was wearing a dark Fairy out fit with black and white stripped stockings, stilettos, and a lacy corset.

"What about you're costume? We're supposed to scare these assholes, not give them boners."

Sakura jabbed him in the head with her Skull wand, but she looked quite satisfied with the remark.

Ino scoffed in her Red Hot Devil costume.

So here was Naruto, his hopes and dreams to be a gangster Zombie (he already forgot what he originally said) had been ripped to shreds along with his dignity and pride…and his lunch. Oh how the dark flames of woe hurt! How they impaired the heart and

Stung the soul!! The fulminate, vexatious pain!

Okay he was being over dramatic, but still. No man should be reduced to this.

Instead of being a flesh eating walking undead, he was wearing a one pieced Fox outfit complete with a bushy tail and long ears. Even his hands and feet were now paws.

Oooh scary.

He tried to hit Shikamaru for teasing him but it was more of a friendly hug since the paws were so overly padded.

Shikamaru was some kind of demon, wearing a black cloak and a scary bat like mask. Choji was an evil priest, and Kiba was taking his role of werewolf way too seriously. He wouldn't talk; only howl bark and snarl, Akamaru yipping at his heels. They were successful in scaring all the female victims, even a few guys, but when the people saw Naruto they just laughed, giggled or ignored him.

"Awwww! Kawaiii!"

"Bite me."

But the unwanted and annoying attention he received in his getup was nothing but a speck on the beach compared to the Vampire Uchiha.

Sasuke had caused a fandango, the line to haunted house stretching around the corner and back filled with giggling girls armed with cameras, and curious and jealous guys. But no one could blame them.

Sasuke looked inhuman in his brother's Victorian style vampire lord outfit with frilly lace around the sleeves and collar and a burgundy vest with swirls and jagged patters. He wore black skinny jeans decorated with long thin red lines running up the legs and chains and safety pins adorning a lace sash. His black velvet cape swept impressively around his body and dragged on the floor behind him. A large red and gold pendant hung on a large chain around his neck, his hair elegantly disheveled.

Naruto averted his eyes and secretly could not blame the girls for drooling all over the maze floor. Visual Kei Sasuke was perfect. However his attitude was anything but glamorous. He sulked and scowled around the maze not giving any hint of effort to scare anyone. Girls were even starting to take pictures of him with their camera phones, the flashes illuminating his annoyed face in the dark.

"Sasuke's getting all the attention." Shikamaru whined, eying Temari inconspicuously. Even she was ogling Sasuke, and Shikamaru was fidgeting uncomfortably on top of the plastic coffin.

Naruto was sharing some rice balls with Kiba, Choji, and Akamaru. Hinata had delivered them, courtesy of Sai from the rice ball stand in the courtyard.

Hinata had blushed frenziedly in her kitty costume when Naruto offered her his share of the food. He was more interested in the note that Sai had taped onto the side of the red bento box.

It simply read "Sky Flowers".

Staurday sucked, as Naruto was forced to spend it at school in a fuzzy fox outfit and suffer the sling and arrows of 'fangirlism'. His retinas were bleeding from the thousands of camera phone flashes he was cursed to endure with gritted teeth and a fake smile.

The weekend dragged on ever so slowly, the once dazzling and morbidly beautiful haunted house he had helped create was now just annoying and drab. He wanted nothing more than to go home and sink into his bed with a Monster energy drink.

So Sunday was a welcome to Naruto, for once he wanted the weekend to end. It was 6:30, Sunday, the last day of the festival. He squeezed into the gay kitsune outfit and wondered around the empty school to the roof.

He was early so the courtyard below was more or deserted except for a few loiterers and a few students picking at the leftover soba stands and taking forgotten prizes. Naruto leaned back against the wall and sighed in anything but contentment, watching the copper tinted sky morph from gold to indigo blue with the setting sun.

The dusk sun was incalescent, warm against his tender flesh, the florescent rays dissolving into the breeze. The feeling was euthermic and the blonde felt like he was melting with the day into night. The sun still peeked over the buildings on the horizon, Tokyo tower a silhouette against a backsplash of gold and blue.

"Let my happiness and sadness be swept away with the setting sun…" Naruto mumbled, his eyes closing.

"Isn't that a little too poetic for you?"

"Holy shit!! Why do you do that?! You always do that!!" Naruto clutched his pounding chest with a jolt as Sai smiled pleasantly over him.

"Do what?"

"Sneak up on me like that!"

"Stop being a drama queen." Sai laughed and stuck a red lollipop into his mouth Naruto rolled his eyes, returning his gaze back to the show the sun was putting on for them. "You're watching the sun set?" Sai asked, sitting down next to Naruto. He bit the lollipop and it crunched loudly under his teeth. Naruto nodded. "I just felt like taking a break."

They sat in silence for several minutes, unmoving, an unspoken harmony between the two boys. When the orange peeked over the buildings and the sky was a deep dark blue, Sai stood up and dusted himself off.

"We should get going." He helped Naruto stand. "You have to go scare the shit of out people and I have to go sell rice balls for people shit later."

Naruto raised an eyebrow. "You have a mouth on you, Sai."

Sai simpered. "And you love me for it. Now get you're ass up before we get yelled at." He yanked Naruto by the arm and pushed him out the door, back down the metal steps that clanked loudly with the slightest touch.

"Oh wait, Sai?"

"Hm?"

"What's Sky Flowers?"

Sai smiled at the foot of the stairs and flicked Naruto's forehead with a wink. "That, my dear Kitsune-chan, is one of those things you have you figure out yourself. And since you happen to be a total idiot, it might take a while. Better start now." He blew Naruto a kiss before he could smack him and ran off in the opposite direction. Naruto stared after him, rubbing his forehead with a grimace.

"What a fucking weirdo…"

The festival lights turned on at 7:00, glowing in colorful orbs like pixies. It was the final day. The final day was always the favorite. The visitors chattered away about the events that night, a concert by Konoha's very own up and coming band Sound Ninja who were opening for the much more popular L'Arc-en-Ciel.

It was amazing in itself that such a popular band would perform at a lowly high school cultural festival, but as rumored Principle Tsunade was a powerful woman with enough connections to get her lunch at Chuck E. Cheese's with the President of the United States.

Highlighting the concerts was the Firework Show. Girls all over the school giggled and blushed, discussing who they would want to kiss while the fireworks exploded behind their gooey love dovey romantic kiss with their boyfriends who couldn't care less about romance or sky flowers as long as they got some ass afterwards and were able to brag about it the next day to their homies.

How's that for a reality check?

"Are you going to kiss you're boyfriend during the fireworks?"

"Oooh I don't know, it's kinda like getting married isn't it?"

"Aaah! Don't say that! You're making me blush Maiko!"

Shikamaru and Naruto rolled their eyes as the group of girls walked past the in the hall outside the haunted house.

"Girls are so troublesome." He mumbled. But he had a smile on his face, and his cheeks had a tint of pink in them.

Naruto had heard from the gossip reporters Sakura and Ino, Shikmaru had teased Temari too far making her cry and smack him like something from a lame romantic comedy starring Cameron Diaz and Hugh Grant. He tried to apologize to her and she slapped him before jumping, landing on the table behind them where they preceded to make out in the library.

So Temari and Shika were seeing each other. Finally. Naruto felt happy for his friend, but at the same time really, really…irked.

He sat chewing on the tip of a plastic severed finger in a corner of the maze ignoring the girls who squealed and took pictures of him when they passed by. He felt lonely and annoyed and hungry there in the haunted house in his faggy costume and distraught with the fact he had a lump in his throat for the last past hour. Every time he swallowed he felt like tears would come pouring out of his eyes like Niagara Falls.

If it wasn't for the swarms of people and his macho exterior that didn't really exist, he would run to the bathroom, slam down the toilet seat and sit there and weep and bawl his blue eyes out until the were white.

Pathetic.

He chewed vigorously on the finger, spiting out chunks of plastic onto the floor. He watched irritably as Sasuke tried to navigate his way through his fan club consisting of hungry fangirls with starved eyes. Women were so corrupt nowadays.

Evil laughter boomed out of the speaker near Naruto's ear.

He cussed and pushed the speaker away as more Silent Hill music played.

At eight o clock Naruto's chew toy was reduced to a pile of wet fleshy chunks by his leg.

Add ink poisoning and stomach ache to his list of pity party favors.

People were leaving the haunted house and the other presentations and game in the buildings, making their way out to the courtyard for the concert.

The courtyard was already filled of screaming fans hoping to tear a piece of Hyde's clothes as he walked by or in more extreme cases, hog tie him and drag him home.

Even Choji and Kiba ditched Naruto to watch, and Shikamaru was no where to be found. Gaara and Kankuro had also come by a few times looking for Temari.

Naruto gagged.

Tired of the giggling girls, fireworks talk, flashing lights, and they bullfrog sized lump in his throat, the melancholy Kitsune stood and staggered out of the deserted maze, Pyramid Head's theme song still playing on the speakers in his class.

The hallways were obviously empty, the unflattering florescent lights were brighter at night making Naruto feel like a hamburger under the heat lamps at a fast food joint.

He could hear the 'Sound Ninja' take the stage and the screams of fans. A guitar drift echoed through the empty halls eerily.

Balloons fell limply onto the tile, their helium gone. Naruto kicked one aside moodily.

He was walking to the storage room by the science class. It was his secret place, and there was even a futon in there which he used to take cat naps on while ditching math class. He had to cover it with a sheet from home though since he couldn't bring himself to lie on the dark orange stain shaped like Texas right in the middle of it.

Making sure no one was around; he forced open the rusty door and closed it behind him.

It was basically a room where students could easily stash things they would get in trouble for getting caught with at school. Rather than NOT bring them, they stored said illegal items in the storage room and came to pick them up later when they can show them off to admiring friends.

Firecrackers, knives, needles, condom packages, porno mags. Naruto once had a blast going through the piles of crap stored away, but quickly lost interest in snooping a few months ago after finding a pair of soaking wet panties.

Better respect other people's privacy…

Naruto sighed and turned on the dangling light switch hanging from the ceiling.

Besides the blow up doll in the corner, Naruto was not alone.

He yelped seeing another human sitting on the edge of his futon.

"S-s-sasuke?!"

"Naruto?"

They paused, starring at each other in surprise.

Naruto's body wouldn't budge.

He wanted to move, to run and open the door behind him. To slam it shut and run as far as he could. To lose himself in the crowds of screaming people. His joints locked, his body froze.

Sasuke stood and brushed past him, the door knob rattling loosely when he touched it.

Before he could stop himself, Naruto's voice flooded back into his body with one big burst.

"WAIT!"

Sasuke paused and Naruto turned to look at him.

He watched him with dark black eyes, unchanging in such a delicate moment. That pissed Naruto off…that really pissed him off.

"YOU FUCKER!" he screamed, throwing whatever he could reach at the boy in front of him. It happened to be a Hustler magazine.

The mag and the words hit Sasuke like sack of bricks. He stumbled backwards in bewilderment at the sudden outburst.

"W-what?"

"You heard me!!" Naruto yelled. Tears leaked involuntarily out of the corners of his eyes and he wiped them away forcibly. "Shit! Why am I crying! This is all you're fault Sasuke-teme!!"

Sasuke watched him in an utter stupor, his face identical to the blow up doll, his mouth in a perfect "O".

"Do you really hate me that much, Sasuke!?" Naruto yelled his hands balled up into fists. "You know how I feel about you and I disgust you?! Is that it? I hate myself over it too!!"

"N-naruto, what are you talking ab-"

"SHUT UP! I don't care if you hate me!! I don't…" He looked down and sniffled, various fluids leaking out of his face. He was a train wreck and it was all Sasuke's fault." SHIT!! I love you!!" He screamed. "I love you, I love you, I love you!! Damnit!! I love you!!"

The light bulb above their heads swung back and forth casting deformed shadows the bounce on the walls of the room. The silence pounded in their ears, and the beating sound of Naruto's heart.

Naruto's spastic hiccups and sniffling echoed in Sasuke's mind, yet he was unable to speak.

Naruto gasped and covered his mouth as if he had just realized what he said, or rather screamed.

In a split second, Naruto cast Sasuke a pained look and flashed past him in a blur of yellow and orange, his tail whipping around the door frame in the blink of an eye.

The lights in Sasuke's head flicked back on and he jumped back onto his feet.

"Naruto!!"

His cape snagged on a nail jutting out of the door frame as he turned, and he ripped through it without a second thought, and he found himself dashing after the kitsune, the scenery of each corridor blurring past him dizzyingly. L' Arc en Ciel's music echoed through the empty halls like a dirge in melody to their footsteps.

This sun. I feel it's warmth through the clouds. Even in the face of doubt.

I feel it

Because of this my dreams have been born

My heart draws a dream

"Naruto!!" Sasuke yelled as the blonde zipped around another corner speedily. Sasuke panted and ran after him, untying the cape and letting it fall in a velvet heap behind him. He fought against his aching legs and ran, ran, ran, as fast as he could faster and faster, his hand outstretched.

He turned the corner but naruto was gone. Instead was Sai pleasantly smiling, a rice ball in his hand.

Sasuke opened his mouth to ask, but Sai wordlessly pointed to their right up the metal stairs leading to the roof.

Sasuke gave Sai a nod of appreciation and dashed up the steps, each time a loud clank echoed over the music playing from the courtyard.

Sai nodded and laughed, running his fingers through his hair as Sasuke opened the large metal door up ahead.

"What a pair of hopeless idiots."

He smiled, walking down the hall opening the rice ball as he did.

Sasuke's breath was jagged and his panted as he unbuttoned the top of his shirt with one hand. He kicked open the metal door leaving a new dent in the sheet.

The roof was cold.

It over looked the courtyard where students and visitors held up opened cell phones and lighters, cheering and singing along to Hyde's dazzling voice. It rang through every part of the school.

The lights reflected off the water of the pool in the middle of roof. It was so still it looked like an ice mirror, unmoving and placid even amongst the slight gust of shivery wind that blew over it.

Naruto stood panting in front of it, his breath a thing fog from his lips. The orange of his outfit reflected brightly in the water.

Sasuke took a step closer to him.

"Stay away from me!" Naruto snapped, although he sniffled and rubbed his face. Sasuke couldn't help but smile tenderly.

Take those outstretched hands

And let it all go

You're heart…

Shall no longer be blinded

As you're eyes are drawn to the light

Even if the world is at it's darkest.

"You're such an idiot." Sasuke breathed softly, but Naruto heard him. He gazed at him cautiously. "I don't hate you." He continued, taking a few more steps towards his kitsune.

Sasuke smiled reassuringly as Naruto tensed up when he drew nearer. "This is so ridiculous." He shook his head. "All of this. It's really just too cliché isn't it?"

"They why?" Naruto asked, more tears spilling out of his eyes." "Why did you ignore me, why-"

"Hush, usurakontachi." Sasuke smiled. "Why else baka? I'm in love with you."

It's alright

Everyone sing

Our dreams have been born

Our Hearts draw a Dream

Our Hearts draw a Dream

A cool breeze fluttered lightly over the roof. Naruto's yellow locks waving with it. Sasuke's lips were soft against his, his taste soft like Cola and lemons, his arms warm and strong around his lithe waist.

Naruto leaned into the kiss, deepening it, his arms snaking around Sasuke's neck, his fingers tangling in his raven hair.

I hope too see you're smile in the end.

Something whistled in the distance, and a second later blaring white eruption of white and red sparkles burst across the sky, cheers and playful screams just barely heard over the behemoth flowers blooming in the black endless sky.

Each firework illuminated everything the light touched. Naruto slipped in a jolt at the thunderous sound, and plummeted down into the icy water with a splash.

Sasuke fell with him.

Their lips never left one another, their heartbeats one.

The sky lit up again and again red, blue, white, green over and over emblazing everything the dazzling lights touched, bathing the two in an ethereal luminous dream.

The noise rang in Naruto's ears and boomed and vibrated in his chest along with the fluttering beat of his heart against Sasuke's chest. The water sloshed around their bodies washing away what once was.

The sky exploded once more time in the grade finale before the splint second of silence that came after it. The crowd broke into more cheers and happy screams of joy just as L' Arc-en-Ceil started "Lost Heaven."

Sasuke broke the kiss, both panting for air.

Naruto snorted and laughed, splashing water around hysterically. Sasuke smiled and joined in, laughing. They laughed and laughed until their eyes watered and they clutched their sides and gasped for air. They laughed more and more until it hurt so bad they cried and had to stop before they suffocated.

"Let's get out of these lame ass outfits." Sasuke said with a grin, wiping his red eyes. Naruto smiled and laughed, hiccupping in a half laugh half cry. "Y-yeah. Good idea."

They walked back down the stairs still laughing, but this time about how Itachi was going to murder them when he saw what they did to his clothes.

Time goes so fast, heaven is lost.
