It will be Naruto's birthday his 16th on Saturday, which is tomorrow. The rest of the rookie nine were all planning to have a surprise party. This wasn't due to start until around 6pm tomorrow night.

So naturally, Sasuke was planning. See, he has been trying to fine the best opportunity to tell the blond how he feels about him, that he has wanted him for two years now. Sasuke has been admiring Naruto from a safe distance.

He closed his eyes taking a moment to remember the day he realised he wanted the dobe.

It was the mission they became glued at the hands. He remembers every detail of that day particularly how Naruto smelt. Of course at first he had been annoyed that they then had to spend a whole day (and night) glued together at the hand until Kakashi-sensei had unstuck them the following morning. But throughout the course of the day, having been stuck at Naruto's side, literally, he started to see Naruto differently.

He notice the way he twitched his nose when he was annoyed at something, which Sasuke now realised he did a lot around Sakura. The way his blue eyes would brighten to a lighter blue when he was really happy or darken slightly when he was sleepy.

Not to mention the kiss, however accidental, that they shared. Then the awkward shower they had and falling asleep together in Naruto's bed.

More recently he had started to notice things, small differences that one wouldn't be able to find unless you were realty watching, which Sasuke had been, as it was his new favourite thing to do. Watch Naruto.

He would notice that even though Naruto would still be overly nice towards Sakura it was no longer to try and win her over but more friendly banter, no one else seemed to notice though, least of all Sakura herself. Then there was that time he seen Naruto giving tips to lee to try get Sakura to like him. No way would Naruto do that unless he didn't really like the girl.

This had lead Sasuke to believe he had a chance at winning Naruto for his own. This brings us to the present. The plan- Seduce Naruto- phase one!

Sasuke was currently on his way to Naruto's house to begin phase one, which would be taking the dobe out to a ramen dinner. He looked through the window to see that Naruto was laying in his bed spread across it. He chuckled to himself walking around to the front door. Reaching underneath the small potted plant where he knew the spare key to be (Naruto trust him with its location 1 year ago) and let himself in.

He looking at Naruto, drool was pooling at the boys chin, he was smiling in his sleep, probably dreaming of the noodles he was about to be asked to go eat, Sasuke smiled at this. He reach down and pulled away they blanket covering the blondes form. Only to realise this may not have been a great idea as Naruto was only wear boxers and was not giving Sasuke an eye full of dobe. This caused a small blush over the Uchiha's cheeks. Coughing it away he poked Naruto in the ribs.

"Oi Dobe, wake up." He prodded Naruto a few more times earning a grunt of disapproval from the waking blonde.

"Eh, Sasuke. What are you doing in my house?" Naruto wearily looked around, his gaze landing on the aforementioned Uchiha. Who was now smirking at the dishevelled blonde.

"Get up and dressed dobe, we are going to get some ramen for lunch." Sasuke then turns away and went into the lounge area, which was really a couple of metres away.

"What Sasuke-Teme is taking me to ramen?!" Naruto screamed as he jumped out of bed and started running around like a madman finding clothes to change into. This only took 1 minute as he was very excited, after he dressed, he jump on top of Sasuke who gasped at the sudden weight on his lap from his position on the couch. Naruto had his hands on Sasuke's shoulders their faces only inches apart.

"Thank you Sasuke-Teme!" Naruto grinned at Sasuke; He was so close Sasuke could smell the scent he had been associating with the blonde for years. Fresh grass, sunshine and ramen.

He looked up directly into Naruto's eyes. "Yes dobe, I'm treating you to ramen for lunch." Sasuke smiled a fraction as Naruto's eyes if possible widened even more at the mention of his favourite food. He then proceeded to hug the raven who to say the least almost died then of happiness.

This brief hug only lasted a second or two but for the raven that didn't matter. He smirked at Naruto's reaction.

"Let's go dobe." They then started walking out of the house and towards Ichiraku's; well in Naruto's case it was more of a bounce step bounce leap.

Sasuke could tell phase one of the plans he devised was going perfectly. He couldn't wait till phase two. Smirking he continued to follow Naruto.
