SasuNaru- Thunder Ch.4

"Well..." Sasuke thought about it for a few seconds before continuing. "Are we...a couple?" Sasuke's blush had gone away and was replaced by a small smile, not a smirk, but a real smile.

"Sure, if you want us to be." Naruto smiled back at Sasuke who just nodded.
--------------------------------------
"Come on Sasuke! I'm hungry! Lets go get Ramen!" Naruto pulled Sasuke through the streets, towards the smell of ramen. People where staring at them, but Sasuke didn't care. It was only two days ago that he confessed his love to Naruto, and to his surprise Naruto had returned the feelings, which made Sasuke almost giddy. That was also the day which they shared thier first kiss together.

"Slow down. It's only 11am. We can walk." Sasuke pulled at Naruto and he stopped running. Now they where walking at a normal pace, making it even more obvious that they where together. Sasuke just glared at the people who stared, making them turn. As they made their way throught the streets, Sasuke saw Sakura running towards them.

"Hey, guys! How are you-" Sakura's eyes widened at the sight of them holding hands. Her mouth dropped slightly as she thought of the words to say. "Um, you do know that Naruto has your hand, right? Why haven't you hit him yet? Is he forcing you to go somewhere?!" Sakura glared at Naruto, who retreated behind Sasuke, in fear of Sakura's wrath. Sasuke just shook his head and stuck out his lip in a pout.

"But I don't wanna hit my boyfriend!" He whined, playfully. Sakura's eyes widened to there fullest before dropping her jaw again. Her face turned red in anger and she clenched her fists. Then she lunged herself at Naruto.

"Naruto! What have you done to Sasuke!? SASUKE IS NOT GAY!" She was about to punch Naruto strait in the nose when she suddenly felt a hand pull her up violently and slap her across the face.

"Don't you ever hurt Naruto, or you'll get more than a slap! You stay away from him! Got it?!" He cakmed down a bit. "Besides, I confessed to him." Naruto blushed as Sakura looked up at Sasuke in horror. "Now, you go tell every Fan Girl that you know of and tell them to leave me the hell alone!" Sasuke looked down at Sakura who now had a red mark on her face where his hand had slapped her. People who where passing by just stared. Sakura stood up and ran past them, tears running down her face. At that Sasuke grabbed Naruto's hand and started walking again.

"Sasuke? Why did you slap Sakura? You didn't have to, I'm used to people hitting me." Naruto sighed. Sasuke stopped dead in his tracks and turned to face Naruto.

"I'll never let anyone hurt you again. Not when I care for you like I do now." Sasuke's eyes were caring and calming. Naruto started to tear up and ran into Sasuke, wrapping his arms around his torso. Sasuke could feel tears soaking his shirt. "Naruto, whats wrong? Was it something I said? Are you ok?!" Naruto looked up into Sasuke's eyes with a tear stained face. A smile crept across his face.

"I'm fine, better than fine. I've never had someone stand up for me before! Thank you." Naruto kissed Sasuke lightly on the cheek. He sniffled a few times and Sasuke wiped away a stray tear from Naruto's face. Sasuke started walking again with a tight grip on Naruto hand.

When the got to the ramen shop they sat down and ordered. They started talking about different things but stopped when Iruka and Kakashi walked up to them. They, too, where holding hands. Kakashigleefully walked over to Sasuke and looked down at his hand, his fingers weaved with Naruto's.

"Now, what do we have here? A fellow couple?" Kakashi asked as his one visible eye arched happily. Sasuke blushed and nodded. Iruka did the same thing as Kakashi lifted his own hand to show that his fingers were intertwined with Irkua's. Naruto just grinned, somewhat like Kakashi.

"Iruka-sensai! Come eat with us!" Naruto said as Sasuke nodded in agreement. Kakashi just shrugged and sat down with Iruka.

"So, uh, what brings you guys here?" Sasuke asked as their food came.

"Well, accually we where hoping Naruto was here. We heard that he was attacked by Sakura. But when Sakura ran past us with a red mark on her face, crying, we wanted to know what happened!" Kakashi answered, his eye still arched. Naruto blushed and told the story of how Sasuke had stood up for him and slapped Sakura. Iruka chuckled.

"Well, that's a story to remember. I think she's gonna leave you guys alone from now on." Kakashi stated as he ordered ramen for Iruka and himself. "We should do that some time, too. She wont leave us alone...she seems to be a bit of a Yaoi fan." They continued talking and were about to pay when suddenly the doors to the ramen shop flew open and Itachi came running in.

"Saaaasssssssssssuuuuuuukkkeeeeeeeeeee!" Itachi hollered. Sasuke eyes widened and he screamed, quite high for a guy. "There you are! I just got the news! I ran all the way here! I can't wait to tell Kisame that you're not single any more! Eep! I'm so happy!" Itachi ran over to Sasuke and squeezed him, hard. Sasuke gasped for air and Itachi let go. He looked over to see Naruto, Kakashi and Iruka wide-eyed, staring at him, Kakashi holding Iruka's hand as if he didn't, Iruka might be killed by the overly happy Itachi.

"Oo! Is that your boyfriend? Wow! You got a good one! And to think I chose Kisame..." Itachi ran over to Naruto and gave him a huge hug. Naruto squeakedm from lack of air.

"Itachi?! What are you doing here?!" Sasuke hollered, causing Itachi to let go of Naruto. He cupped his hands and stated, "Well...I just have to throw a 'Congradulations' party for my little brother and his new boyfriend! I can dress you guys up and everything!" He pulled out a purpley-pink silk outfit, trimmed with ribbon and showed it to Sasuke and Naruto. "Hm, I think this might fit Naruto better than you, little brother. I'll buy you one later!" He grabbed Sasuke and Naruto and ran out of the ramen shop with them. He stopped outside and ran back in for Kakshi and Iruka. Pulling out a long piece of paper, he began writing down the names of their classmates.

"Well, I need my brother's friends there, too, right? Lets go to the school and get them!"
