Actually, that's one of my first headcanonthings ever. Naruto will get through to him in the end. XD
*Sasuke could very easily be gay for Naruto, but you know, he's scared to death of letting himself get attached again, so he's trying to push him away as hard as he can. It's not happening, though.
*The reason he CAN let himself love Naruto is that subconsciously he feels Naruto is the person least likely to die on him.
*Sasuke insults Naruto a lot, but he doesn't underestimate or despise him -- he just pretends he does to spare his own battered self-image and/or to piss Naruto off. He knows exactly how Naruto always comes bouncing back with some surprisingly sneaky scheme, so no "oh he's too stupid and weak to amount to anything". It's just that he can't allow himself to accept that he has an equal, because that's only one step away from having a better and that's just not acceptable.
*Naruto is mostly straight, but also, if his switch is flipped that way, mostly Sasusexual. Sasuke could be a trigendered tentacle monster, he'd be fine with it. Well, no, he'd rant and pace and tear off his hair when he realizes the attraction because waugh! no breasts! but in the end he'd accept it. He loves Sasuke any way he can get him -- friend, rival, brother, lover, he doesn't think it matters very much, so long as there's that bond. By contrast Sasuke tries to refuse the bond, but he's the most likely one to see it in terms of physical attraction/sexuality/"romance".
*Sasuke doesn't want to name their bond or fall into couple-y things, because he "knows" it's not going anywhere re: marriage and children and while fuckbuddies can be fine, the thought of romantic *commitment* might make Naruto want to break it all off and distance himself. (it's mostly his own insecurities talking there, but also the fact that Naruto often protests that zomg he is SO straight, Sasuke is just the exception to the rule) Naruto is the first one to bring up the topic of dates, and also the one who just one day decides to move in with Sasuke.
*Sasuke is a jealous bastard. Doesn't help that Naruto is friendly and changes so many people's worldviews -- he never deliberately does something to make sasuke jealous, always notices after Sasuke explodes at him.
*If they're not fighting at least once a month, it's because one of them is out of the village at the time. Not even being in the hospital stops them from going into another row.
