Chapter 1 - All I Need Is Love

Love Is All I Need

This is a fanfic that contains a whole lot of SasuNaru. I love this coupling. They're in the forest where they learn to
control their chakra, but Kakashi and Sakura aren't there. Now, let the yaoi begin!

Sasuke and Naruto were training in the forest. They were learning how to control their chakra. Kakashi and Sakura had
left already and were already probably in Tazuna's house. But the two young Genin refused to give up. "Once more?"
asked the young Uchiha. "Why not?" replied Naruto. Once more they climbed the trees, and this time they made it all the
way to the top. They sat up there, staring at each other in the light of the full moon. "Ready to go back?" asked Sasuke.
"OK!" said Naruto. The two Genin climbed down from their high perch and left for Tazuna the bridge builder's house,
with Sasuke supporting Naruto. They passed through a clearing where the moon shone down brightly through all the
trees, and all of a sudden Naruto felt something wet spread through his jacket shoulder. He looked up at Sasuke and
saw, in the moonlight, tears coming out of Sasuke's eyes. The great spiteful Uchiha Sasuke, was crying? At first, Naruto
thought it was just from tiredness, but noooo, he was wrong. In the meantime...

"Where are they?" Sakura asked Kakashi-sensei. "They should've been back by now!!!"
"I know, Sakura. They probably just got lost on the way, or they're still training."
"If they're lost, won't they get killed?!!!"
"Sakura, stop worrying so much. They're both strong boys. They can protect themselves from any kind of danger. They'll
be back in the morning."
"Are you sure, Kakashi-sensei?"
"Positive, Sakura. Now get a good night's sleep. You'll need it for tomorrow."
"What's going on tomorrow, Master Kakashi?"
"You'll find out. Good night, Sakura."
"Night, Master Kakashi."

Sasuke collapsed onto the ground in the moonlit clearing, dragging Naruto along with him. Naruto landed next to Sasuke,
close enough to see Sasuke's tears. With each silent sob that racketed Sasuke's body, Naruto felt another wave of pain
sweep through him. Sasuke's tears were making little puddles on the ground. Naruto said, "Sasuke, why? Why are you
crying?" Sasuke pulled his hands away from his face and looked at Naruto with tearstained cheeks and watery eyes, and
said, in a choked voice, "N....Naruto, you ask me why?"
"Yes, I do, Sasuke. You're not usually like this."
"Naruto, but you understand my pain the most."(A/N: Have you guessed Sasuke's pain yet? I'm surprised if you haven't.)
"Huh? Whaddaya mean by that?"
"H....Have you ever felt love, emotion, affection given to you?"
"Yeah, why do you ask?"
At this, Sasuke just burst into more tears and more sobs. Sasuke tried to stand, but because he had expended all his
chakra, he just tripped over backward. Naruto, still having a bit more chakra in him, caught Sasuke before he hit the
ground. Sasuke opened his watery eyes and stared at Naruto, who felt that the icy cold look Sasuke was giving him, was
punctured by much pain and sorrow. Sasuke burrowed his face into Naruto's orange sleeve to hide his tears. But that
wouldn't work. In a few minutes, Naruto could feel his sleeve getting wet. "Sasuke, just tell me, what's wrong?"
"I......I don't want to be alone any more, Naruto."
"Eh? Alone? But, but I'm alone too Sasuke."
"But you've felt love, Naruto. That's more than I could ever have."
And then a light bulb went off in Naruto's head. Sasuke needed love, not attention, just love. And Naruto knew, from
past experience that love was something that couldn't be forced. He felt another small sob shake Sasuke's body and he
saw more tears pour out of those cold black eyes, those black eyes that had always taunted and teased him, those eyes
which showed no emotion what so ever. And those same eyes were looking at him, giving him a pleading look, asking for
a ray of comfort, asking for just one night to feel love. That was all Sasuke was asking of him. Just one night of love.
Nothing more, nothing less. Naruto could spare that, couldn't he? He certainly could, and he would. Naruto decided right
then and there that him and Sasuke were teammates. They were always there for each other. And he knew that Sasuke
would always be there for him. So he made it a point for him to be there for his teammate. Naruto knew nothing at all
about Sasuke's past, but he was sure that it had probably been a lot worse than his. Naruto gently hugged his teammate
close to him, and the tears stopped, as did the sobs. Sasuke hugged back weakly, and said in a soft voice, "Thanks,
Naruto. You were the only person who ever knew. I know that much now." And Sasuke's arms dropped back down on
the same level as his body, as his breathing became slow and even. Naruto gently kissed Sasuke's cheek one last time
before he keeled over onto the ground asleep, still holding Sasuke in his arms.
