[ It's enough, for now. When Naruto meets his eyes Sasuke is in some small way satisfied. He doesn't need Naruto to talk to him, they've never been those kinds of friends. All Naruto needs to do is be present in some way.
He leaves Naruto to his task to complete his own with military efficiency. He folds his clothes neatly and leaves them in their assigned places, and picks up the familiar small towel to take to the bath. He doesn't leave Naruto behind, instead waiting for the younger ninja to finish.
Sasuke holds out another towel for him, and when Naruto takes it from him, he leads Naruto out to the water. It glows dimly, shimmering like a thousand stars are trapped beneath the surface. It gives Sasuke pause, because whatever he'd been expecting it hadn't been this. He doesn't consider himself especially artistic, but even Sasuke can appreciate the beauty of something.
When he glances across at Naruto, he can see the light cling to his bare skin and his hair. ]
