So actually the idea never really came to me. I just sat in front of my PC and just wrote. That's what came out of it. I hope you enjoy it at least a little.

---------------------------------------

Cold. I stood in front of my window and watched the drops of water run down the window. It was wet and cold outside. I liked this weather. It reflected my feelings. I used to be a happy child, today I was cold. I almost never showed any emotion. Only one could coax it out. When I thought of him I got angry. I usually only felt anger when I thought of my brother, otherwise I didn't really care. Even that little pink chewing gum didn't bother me. If you faded out the voice, you could even relax well. Just that person. Anger boiled up in me again. He took it out of himself to insult me, an Uchiha. And it was his always happy manner that got on my nerves. But what annoyed me even more was that it robbed me of sleep. I kept thinking about him. He just couldn't get out of my mind. When I realized that I was wasting my precious thoughts on this person again, I felt sick. I turned and walked out of my room. I was so annoyed with myself. If only I had never returned to Konoha. In Oto-Gakure, my life consisted only of exercising and resting. Nobody really annoyed me there. Maybe Kabuto, but I always skilfully ignored him.

I went into the bathroom and slowly undressed. I was only back in Konoha because I allowed feelings into it. I admitted to myself that I missed my team. That pink something, that weird gray-haired sensei and that blond useless thing that didn't let me fall asleep at night. I got into the shower and let the warm water cleanse my body. Hopefully it cleared my mind too.How I would love to be able to sleep again. During training, I always seemed totally overtired and I kept embarrassing myself by losing to Naruto. When I fought against him, I couldn't concentrate. It was bewitched. What was this guy doing to me? Absently I washed myself. I thought of his blue eyes. If I let it and got lost in them, my heart stopped for a moment. It was maddening. Apparently I wasn't really lucky. I would like to cry, even if it violated the Uchiha Code.
Chapter 1, paragraph 3, line 5: "An Uchiha does not cry."
My brother used to say that when I hit my toe while playing as a child and howled as if I'd been hit by a truck. He didn't mean it, of course, but it was burned into my brain and I kept it. It was better for me too. If I didn't show any feelings and didn't allow them, I couldn't be hurt. Anyway, it had worked all these years. Except for the one time when I let Naruto talk me into coming to Konoha with me. I regretted it so much. Actually, I didn't always regret it. Only now and then.


I turned off the water and got out of the shower. I took a towel and dried my body. Naruto's smile appeared in my mind's eye when I consented. It was like seeing someone smile properly for the first time. It wasn't like before. It looked really serious too. He had really pleased her. I got warm. I swallowed the emotion and concentrated on my left leg. I tied the scarf around my waist and went out into the hall. I went to my room and put on a dark blue t-shirt and black pants. After that I went down.


I decided to go for a walk. It was still raining, but I needed some fresh air. Maybe that helped.I grabbed my jacket, put on my shoes, and grabbed an umbrella. I stepped out. Cold wind swept my face. Splendid. In such weather at least you weren't disturbed. I decided to go towards the training ground. That was where I could think best. I usually only did this when it was dry, but what difference did the rain make? The streets of Konoha were deserted. Every now and then I met someone who had done some shopping. They all gave me funny looks. It wasn't surprising either, after all, I didn't look like I had any special errands to do. There was light in many houses. I even passed Sakura's house. I saw through a window that she was cooking with her mother. She noticed me, smiled warmly, and waved to me. Suddenly her face was horrified. She ran out of the kitchen. I stopped. What did she want? She came out with an umbrella in hand. She stopped in front of me. She looked at me lovingly.
"What are you doing outside in such weather?" She wanted to know. I should have guessed that too.
"I just had to think about it. I just can't have a clear thought at the moment." I said. Why did I tell her? Was it anything to do with her? She was just my best friend, even if I kept insulting her in my mind.
"What exactly is going on Sasuke-kun? Do you want to come in? You are welcome to eat with us.", She said and beamed at me.
"No, maybe another time. Thank you for worrying about me." I was really grateful to her. I should finally respect her. She was actually very nice.
"We're friends, what did you expect?" She asked and giggled softly. She had a nice laugh. I was no more to her than a friend. Actually, it was clear to me from the start. She always looked very closely at Naruto.At that time she had looked at me that way too. However, she didn't annoy him as much as she annoyed me. She behaved towards him as always, or at least that was the opinion of Naruto.
“See you Sakura.” I turned and held up my hand as I continued towards the training ground.
"Don't stay outside too long! Otherwise you'll catch a cold!" She called out to me.


A short time later I heard a thud. She was back in the house. I decided to visit Sakura soon. Maybe she could help me with my problem, Naruto. She was a girl and knew for sure what was wrong with me.
I wasn't far from the square when I heard the clink of metal. So there was someone there. At first I thought about going again. I quickly buried this thought and went on. The noise got louder and louder. Who was it? Maybe it was Naruto. Again I felt the warmth in my body. I let them have their way. Maybe I should allow feelings again. For Naruto it was really just brotherly feelings. Exactly, that was it. He was like a brother to me. He was annoying and driving me crazy, but actually he was really nice. Sometimes. I stopped. What would I do if it was Naruto. We had only argued again this morning. I didn't know why myself anymore, but we were mad at each other. I entered the place. There Naruto fought against Shikamaru. I wondered why Shika hadn't won yet. He was way superior to Naruto. Maybe he wasn't stronger, but he was smarter. The two stood facing each other and wondered what to do next. I assumed so. The two were breathing heavily and sweating. Or was it rain? Should i say something? My eyes fell on Naruto's hair. They were stuck to his face. He wore them a little longer now. He had taken off his jacket. Water pearled from his torso.He was well built. He had a lot of muscles, but they were only slightly visible. He was no longer as small and petite as he used to be. His features had become more manly. His eyes shone in their wonderful blue. He looked strained. Surely he was thinking. His pants were clinging to his legs. He had strong legs. Naruto ran towards Shikamaru. Two shadow doubles appeared next to him. He cleverly dodged Shikamaru's shadow and hit him with 6 fists. Shikamaru hadn't been able to save himself that quickly.


When Naruto let go of him he was lying completely exhausted in the wet grass. The blonde helped him up.
"Well done. You won.", Shikamaru said and smiled at him.
"Yes, with just one hit. Before that you could always dodge." Naruto smiled too.
"Well done, Baka," I said approvingly. Was I now abandoned by all good spirits? Why did I get involved? I hit my forehead. Both turned to me. Naruto grinned and Shikamaru whispered something to him.
"Bye Shikamaru. Thanks for training with me."
"No problem.", Said the brown-haired one and then walked away.
Naruto came up to me. His walk looked very elegant. I never noticed it was going like this. He used to run like a trample through the world. Everything within a radius of 2 meters broke. Now he ran like a god. Yes, that described his appearance very well. God? Am I completely crazy now? I pushed the thought away. What was the matter with me?
"What are you doing here, Teme?" He wanted to know when he was standing in front of me. He was only a few inches shorter than me.
"I went for a walk," I replied. Actually it was also true. That he was the reason for it, I rather kept quiet.
“In this weather.” He looked critically at the sky. He was the one who trained in the pouring rain in the evening.
"But training in this weather is totally normal," I replied sarcastically.He eyed me curiously. Did I have a huge booger hanging in my nose or what?
"And then half-naked," I added. He turned red around the nose. I spotted his jacket under a nearby tree. Of course, the rain pelted them down. It was clearly more than wet. I took off my jacket. It wasn't completely dry either, but it would certainly keep him warm. His own was no longer usable.
"What are you doing there?" He asked surprised.
"Take off my jacket and give it to you so you don't get sick," I told him. I held my jacket in front of his nose. He hesitated a moment, but then accepted it. With my umbrella in hand, I went to the tree, picked up his jacket, and put it over my shoulder. Naruto was rooted to the square. In the meantime he had put on my jacket. I went up to him and took his hand. I pulled him under the umbrella and walked with him towards the Uchiha estate. I wouldn't let go of his hand. It burned. His hand left burning marks on my hand. I tried to hide it.
"Where are we going?" He asked me.
"We're going to me. By the time you're with you, you've already gotten sick three times."
