Summery: Naruto compares the stars to his friends and contemplates
the importance of the North Star. Sorry so short!

`The stars are so very beautiful.' Thought Naruto.

He was finally home from his mission and had chosen to lie on his roof rather than in the stuffy heat of his apartment. The cool breeze lifted his blond bangs from his sweaty forehead. Appreciatively, Naruto tilted his face onto the wind.

He had been on a very long mission this time and was very glad to be home again. Eight years had passed since Iruka had given him his forehead protector. In that eight years, Naruto had forged such strong bonds within the village that being away from his home left him horribly homesick.

Tsunade was grooming him to take over her job and so was forced to send him on long diplomatic missions. She always sent one person with him but could spare no more. His image as a strong shinobi who needed no protection had to be fortified long before he could take on the
position of Hokage.

Naruto understood this but did not have to like it at all. His friends were like the stars to him. He needed their guidance and light in dark times to see him through the night.

Once, a long time ago, on his first mission to wave country, Naruto had thought to take comfort in the solitude of the moon. Over the years, he learned that the warmth of the stars was far superior to the coldness of the moon. The stars lead you with their light and comforted you with their stories. They were most beautiful when grouped together and yet they all maintained their differences.

Most important of all was the North Star. The one star that always outshone the rest and acted as a compass to guide him. His North Star kept him on track and looked down over him faithfully.

Kakashi was his North Star in every way. Naruto had learned a lot from the tales his star had to tell him. He had been warmed on his darkest nights by the light in Kakashi's eyes. He had been led through the roughest roads in his life by the guidance of Northern Star Kakashi.

Naruto hated to be parted from his lover for these tedious missions but had no choice.

When he had arrived at home tonight, it was to an empty home. Naruto had no idea when Kakashi had left for his mission nor when he would return.

The loneliness on nights like this always ate away at the poor blond boy. His only comfort was to stare at the night's sky. The North Star was always waiting there to help him through.

"Why do I always find you looking at the sky at night?" Naruto whipped his head around to find his silver haired lover perched on the edge of the roof. "You are almost worse than Shikamaru and his clouds." The older man teased.

"I was just counting stars." Naruto answered.

He fell back against the tiled roof and waited for Kakashi to join him.

"How many are you up to?" Kakashi whispered into the tanned ear. He began to nuzzle the soft skin of Naruto's neck with chapped lips.

"One," was the breathless answer.

This enigmatic response was enough to give Kakashi pause, "One?"

Naruto smiled and lovingly kissed the mask free lips above him. "Only one star is important enough to count, so I count it over and over again."

Kakashi furrowed his brow in confusion and attempted to quiz his boyfriend but forgot his questions as the boy beneath him showed Kakashi just how much he had been missed.

`Oh well, if it was that important, Naruto will tell me later,' where the last coherent thoughts of the jounin for a long time to come.

THE END!
