Summary: There's some sort of pre-Yule celebration at the Academy and Sasuke is nowhere to be found. Naruto is given the task to find him and bring him over to join the rest of their classmates.
A/N:
- Title comes from the lyrics of 'Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas'
- I had no idea how to insert Naruto and Sasuke's age in the story, but they're both 11 years old here.
Naruto doesn't know why he's even trying. It's obvious Sasuke is too stuck-up to consider Naruto as a friend. Besides, that guy seems to live in his own world, often brooding on his own. So why does Naruto even bother to try and approach him? Because he's the only one in Naruto's class with whom Naruto can relate. They're both alone now.
"Hey. Teme," he says without the acrimony he knows should be in his tone. He's supposed to hate Sasuke, supposed to despise him, supposed to insult him at any given chance because that should make Naruto feel smug or something. But in all honesty, he doesn’t' feel any of those, just the burning need to be close to the dark-haired boy. "What are you doing here? The old man's throwing some sort of a party at the Academy. He has sent food and drinks and all that."
Sasuke glares at him like his eyes are meant to stab Naruto through his skull then he scoffs and says, "Beat it, usuratonkachi."
The sun casts its radiance over the surface of the river. A luminous ray bounces over to Sasuke's face, giving his dark look a softer hue. There's a tranquil quality in this place. Maybe that's the reason why Sasuke comes here so often, just sits on the bank for hours looking lost in his own thoughts.
Naruto sighs and sinks down beside his classmate. "The Hokage actually sent me to get you. He wants all of us there."
"Whatever the hell for?" Sasuke keeps his eyes to the water but somehow Naruto feels the touch of his gaze.
"I don't know," Naruto says with a shrug. "Iruka sensei says the old man wants to start a tradition. You know, since Yule's coming and maybe he wants to throw us a party before we go off on our holiday break."
"I'm in no mood for such things."
"Oh come on." Naruto bumps his shoulder against Sasuke's and the other boy seems to stiffen but Naruto ignores the bizarre reaction. "That's better than sulking here." When Sasuke doesn't show any signs of budging, Naruto offers, "Tell you what. If you come now, I won't talk to you for two days."
That got the Uchiha's attention. His eyes meet Naruto's, his face void of any expression. "How 'bout a week?"
"No way! That will be torture!" spills out of Naruto's mouth before he can stop the words.
One corner of Sasuke's mouth curls up, making him look a lot more pompous than he naturally does. "How is that torture?"
Heat spread all over Naruto's face, prompting him to tear his eyes away from Sasuke's dark orbs. "I mean.. I uh…." Shit, am I blushing? And why the heck am I stammering? "Never mind that. Are you coming or not? It's not important if you don't anyway."
Naruto pushes himself up and moves to leave but Sasuke's voice stops him.
"Hold on, dobe. Let's walk back together."
Strange feelings come swirling in Naruto's chest, his heart beating rapidly. "Hurry up then. I don't have all day, y'know." He marches up the path leading back to the Academy with Sasuke at his side.
Naruto has never made any wish during Yule season but if he's asked to make one this year, it's to have Sasuke as his friend and he hopes that they will be together 'til the end.
