[ Okay that is the hardest thing to do ever but Naruto does his best as he's listening to Sasuke, convinced something awful is about to come out of his mouth.
And yet. What he does say throws him through a loop, blinking dumbly as he stares at him still. ]

[This is going to be so hard holy shit. Sasuke is trying to do something he thought he'd never had to do.
He's going to confess.]
You know, you're a pain in my ass most of the time.
[Great start.]
no subject
?!?!?!
[ Confusion is utterly clear and loud on Naruto’s face and it’s practically a yell. ]
You dragged me out here for that?!
no subject
[you're his favourite ass pain ok!]
Naruto...
[If he had two hands he'd be playing with his thumbs, but instead, he's holding onto his pants with his right hand.]
Why is this so hard?!
[He groans, and puts his head on his hand.]
no subject
[ Naruto is utterly oblivious to what’s going on. Sasuke’s definitely acting weird in unprecedented ways… ]
Did something happen again?
[ Like evil older brother clones or something. ]
no subject
[Just Sasuke having a breakdown over liking his best friend in that way.]
I have to tell you something, but I don't know how.
no subject
Open your mouth… and talk?
[ easy right? ]
no subject
[Naruto is so dumb but Sasuke loves him.]
It's a hard thing to talk about, give me a moment.
no subject
[ Naruto lets out a huff but… he does shut up, at least he will for a few minutes. He is concerned though. Is Sasuke really okay? ]
no subject
[Sasuke takes a deep breath, and nods to the air.]
I've been thinking, for a bit now-- actually, a while, that you're special to me. But I didn't realize until recently how special.
[He sighs, and looks at Naruto out of the corner of his eye.]
I like you.

And yet. What he does say throws him through a loop, blinking dumbly as he stares at him still. ]
Like.... like like me?
no subject
[How else can he like someone? Is there other ways?]
no subject
[ is this real? ]
no subject
[He is NOT telling him that.]
no subject
[ he's going to keep insisting no matter what. ]
no subject
[Sasuke is now blushing, something he had avoided the whole talk.]
no subject
How long, come on, you can't expect me to stop asking! Was it when we kissed in school?
no subject
[Sasuke sighs and stands up.]
It's been a while, but now I'm exhausted so I'm going to sleep.
no subject
You can’t just tell me something like that and leave, Sasuke.
[ Naruto grabs his hand, holding on tightly. ]
no subject
[Why not?
Sasuke pouts and turns around, looking at Naruto and huffing.]
no subject
No way. It’s important to me…
[ Ugh, the pouting is too cute. Naruto squeezes his hand again and wishes he had a second hand to touch his face without letting go of his hand. ]
