The rain pelted the umbrella and the street. We were there soon. Luckily. It wasn't exactly pleasant without a jacket. It was all the more pleasant to hold Naruto's hand. What was I thinking again? I sure got sick. In this weather it was no wonder. I carefully looked down at the smaller one next to me. His gaze was fixed on the floor. His blonde hair was still wet. How I would have loved to touch her. Have I already got a fever? An annoyed hum escaped my throat.
"Are you okay, Sasuke?" Asked Naruto. He looked at me worried. I didn't want him to look at me like that.
“Yes, everything is great.” My voice sounded a little too irritated. He didn't ask any further questions, but still looked at me like that. I just looked away. How much I liked cucumbers. They were so nice and green and juicy. Cucumber. Yes, I should eat them again. I hadn't eaten in a long time.
"Do you like cucumbers too, Naruto?" I wanted to know. Ok, I was clearly out of my mind. It was bad enough thinking about pickles, but why did I have to ask him.
"Sure. Who doesn't like them?", Naruto came suspiciously. He must also think that I was completely insane. I also liked tomatoes. They were so nice red and juicy. And the skin of the tomatoes was so nice and soft. Was Naruto's skin that soft too?
I stopped. Naruto kept walking. However, I didn't let go of his hand and he was pulled back. He would have fallen if I hadn't reacted so quickly. I dropped the umbrella and caught it. He looked at me with wide eyes.
"Do you still have them all?" He asked when he had recovered.
“I'm sorry, Naruto.” Somehow I found Naruto's voice awesome. It sounded so heavenly. I dropped it and ran a hand through my hair. What was I thinking then. When Naruto angrily threw insults for me, it was only when I realized what I had just done."I'm sorry, Naruto," I said again and helped him up. He was angry. That was understandable. I just acted like an idiot.
"Is your name Lee or what ?!" he said angrily. So back to the tomatoes.

After a few more minutes we finally got to my place. Naruto marveled at the property. Had he never been here before? True, he never came to see me here. Why did I never invite him? I think I was always afraid that he would destroy everything in the apartment. I unlocked the door. Naruto followed me into the hallway in silence. We took off our shoes.
"Do you want to take a shower or something?" I asked. My voice sounded dismissive as always.
"Yes, I would love to. Thank you for letting me stay here.", He said and bowed. Did he now have a screw loose too? Why did he bow to me? We were friends after all.
“I'll show you everything then.” I grabbed his hand and pulled him upstairs with me. I faded out the stinging on my skin again. It was so easy. I took him to my room.
"Take off your things first," I said. He stood in a corner. I was a guy too, why was he hiding from me? I went close to him and undressed too. I felt his gaze on my neck. I didn't let that bother me and continued to undress until I was completely naked in front of him. I walked past him to my closet and got some fresh things. I turned to Naruto. He was only wearing his underwear.
"Then let's go to the bathroom." I announced and pulled him behind me again. I didn't want to look at him. I was very warm. No, I was hot. We entered the bathroom.
"Are you hungry?" I asked, "As I know you, you haven't eaten anything yet."
He just nodded.
"What do you want to eat?" I wanted to know.
"Ramen?" He asked carefully. He ought to know that I didn't have anything like that in the house.I sighed.
"I still have curry from tonight. I'll warm it up. When you have finished showering, find something out of my closet." I said and then left the bathroom.

I was standing in the kitchen when Naruto finally came. He had put on a black T-shirt and black pants.
“You only have black things too, don't you?” It was more of a statement than a question.
“I just don't like orange that much.” He looked at me angrily. That's what he got out of it. Nobody insulted my clothes. I pointed to a chair and he sits down. I turned back to the stove. The rice and curry were finally ready. I put some of it on a plate and put it in front of Naruto's face. I sit down across from him and watch him. He smelled suspiciously of the food.
“I didn't poison it.” Annoyed, I closed my eyes.
"Tastes good," he said after a while. I opened my eyes again. He actually ate it. I noticed that he wasn't stuffing anything in his mouth anymore. He had changed a lot. He had finally grown up. I smiled. I did what I never did. That was against my nature. What was this guy doing to me? I never felt much. Why did it all come so suddenly. I would have loved to kick Naruto out. I looked to the window. It was still raining. I looked at the clock. It was one o'clock in the morning. Fortunately we didn't have training until noon tomorrow. I heard the chair scratch the floor. I looked at Naruto. He got up, took the plate and ran to the sink. I followed him and picked up the plate. Our fingers touched. Burn this again. But then I got a little electric shock. Naruto looked me in the eye and I looked him. Our faces came closer. Dangerously close, I thought. When I realized what I was doing, I jerked my head up again.
"Did you feel that too?" Naruto wanted to know.
“What are you talking about?” I turned on the water and washed the plate.Naruto stood next to me. He leaned against the counter. I looked over at him for a moment. He looked like a cross between a god and an angel. I wanted to touch him. I wanted to hear him groan. I wanted to kiss him. I quickly looked away again. I also liked mushrooms.

I ran down the long hallway on the first floor. I looked for a suitable room while Naruto lay downstairs on the couch and marveled at the living room. I've been pacing up and down for a while. I couldn't make up my mind. I took a room away from mine, or the one right next to me. I was afraid that I would visit him while he was sleeping. What bullshit. I went into the room next to mine. I made the bed and dusted everything off. Then I went back down.
"I'm done," I said. Naruto startled. He got up quickly and walked past me towards the stairs. I followed him in silence. He hadn't said a word since the incident in the kitchen. Did that hurt him? No certainly not. When he reached the top he stopped at a loss. I walked past him and touched his hip as I did so. He started with a start. I said nothing. I went into the room. He followed me. He undressed. I waited. Exhausted, he collapsed on the bed.
“Good night, Naruto.” I went out, but first turned off the light in Naruto's room.

I lay awake on my bed for a very long time. I stared at the ceiling. What was wrong with me Did I really try to kiss him? Why did I want him so much? Question after question. I couldn't answer any of them. Did Naruto sleep? I would love to sleep with him. I would like what? I pushed that thought away. These feelings were uncomfortable. I didn't mean to feel that way. But what did I actually feel? What was that? I had felt this before, but when? I got dizzy. The ceiling blurred before my eyes. It was just maddening.If I haven't already been. I think that's most likely to hit it. I was crazy There was no other explanation. I closed my eyes. I finally wanted to sleep. I just needed sleep. Maybe that would help me. I was just tired. It was clear that that was why I was in a bad mood. The tiredness would also explain the indefinable feelings for Naruto. I tried not to think of anything. I turned off my brain. I was finally able to sleep.

A few hours later my alarm went off. When did I fall asleep? I tried to remember. It must have been eight o'clock. I opened my eyes. Fortunately, I wasn't a morning grouch. I wasn't well rested. But I wasn't as tired as I was a few days ago. I looked at the alarm clock. It was eleven o'clock. I threw back the covers and went to my closet. I put on a black shirt. I didn't button it up. I went downstairs in boxers and a shirt. I made coffee and set the table. I liked to have breakfast in peace in the morning. I didn't like being hectic. Especially not in the morning. I thawed buns and then went upstairs. I wanted to wake Naruto. He should have breakfast with me. I went to his room and approached the bed. I shook it gently. He just hummed softly.
"Wake up. Or do I have to kiss you awake?" I liked the thought. Should i do it? Before I could go ahead with my plan, Naruto's eyes widened.
"No!" He yelled and threw his pillow in my face.
"If you don't get up you have to go to training on an empty stomach," I threatened. It worked wonders. He stood up. I went out of the room and left him alone. He sure wanted to change.

After a few minutes, Naruto came into the kitchen. He was wearing his clothes. I washed them last night. I couldn't sleep.
"Thanks.", He said embarrassed and pointed to his clothes.
"You certainly don't want to take to the streets in my clothes."“You sure don't want to train in these things, do you?” He pointed to my upper body.
"Of course not. I'm still changing. I just didn't want to go downstairs completely naked." I put the cup to my lips and took a sip of coffee. Without this concoction, I would have been in the hospital long ago because I would have collapsed from being tired. Naruto sat in the empty space, grabbed a bun and spread jam on it. He bit off with relish.
"Do you actually like coffee?" I asked. After all, I didn't mean to come across as impolite.
"Not really," came the reply from Naruto. I sighed.
"What do you want to drink?"
"Juice?" He asked, as he had asked about ramen yesterday.
"Which one?" I wanted to know.
"Orange juice?"
It was possible. I got up and went into the basement. I had bought some recently. After all, I couldn't just have coffee. I found the pack and went back up. Naruto had his bun on. I took the cup
