Before you ask, no I haven't forgotten about Catatonic Love, I'm just dry on ideas for it right now.


My name is Uzumaki Naruto and I am cursed. No really, I am!
...okay, so maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but I sure feel cursed. All my life everything's been thrown for a loop. I was born an orphan and my foster father, Hatake Kakashi, knew my parents. In fact, everyone at my current high school knew my parents. It's crazy! You see, Kakashi is a teacher at my high school, along with his lover, Umino Iruka. On top of being monitored by my parental figures, I've got a hot-headed principal breathing down by back in case I do something stupid; and if that wasn't enough, I'm also going blind.
Yeah. You heard me.
I am going blind. I was diagnosed with irreversible glaucoma due to the late stage they found it in, so I constantly have to go in and get new corrective lenses; each one stronger than before. It sucks because I hate wearing glasses, but I hate putting things in my eyes even more so contacts are a definite "no".
I used to be happy-go-lucky, but these days I'm more of a... how do you say... "NEET". I rarely go to school and when I do, I cloak myself in all-black and hide in the back seat. NEET is literally an acronym for a specific type of shut-in that has No Employment, Education, or Training. That describes me to a T.
I wear thick-rimmed glasses, and tend to dress myself in black garb. I've been called "Emo" and "hipster", but really, I just don't wanna stand out. Bright colors make you stand out. That's why I threw away all my neon clothing (most of it being orange, my favorite color).
I stand a towering 6'0" and I'm lean. I have a fast metabolism, and despite my constant outward idiocy, I have an IQ of 165... meaning my social awkwardness is paramount. I have shaggy blonde hair (natural mind you), dulling blue eyes, and skin paler than the fucking moon.
How I used to look? I was a 4 foot tall munchkin with baby fat still and a high metabolism; I wore orange up the wazoo and was pretty fucking stupid. I wasn't socially awkward at all and made friends easily. My blonde hair was always spiky, my blue eyes shone like an ocean, and my skin was rather than... oh and when I was a kid, I didn't have these whisker like scars that I now have.
How did I get said scars? Let's just say, I had a mental breakdown when my nails were a bit too long and sharp... I'm sure you can fill in the rest.
So yeah. I'm pretty ordinary and boring. So why do I have a story to tell? Because of a not-so-ordinary raven-haired boy... who swept me along in his typhoon of unorthodox methods.

I laid on the couch, lazily reading an American novel entitled "Morpheus Road: The Light" by DJ MacHale. He was a fairly decent writer; it was actually his "Pendragon" series that enticed me to look into his other series.
I heard a shuffle at the door and looked up to see my guardian, Kakashi, enter the home... with a strange male tagging after him. I raised a brow and the male stopped and looked at me. He seemed insulted... or jealous. Not sure which. But I instantly scanned him. He was about my height, pale, raven hair, onyx eyes, and toned; I was scrawny. He could be a potential threat to me, seeing as I'm weak and unprepared for fighting. I tensed up as he just intently stared at me. Kakashi had snuck off toward the kitchen.
"Who are you?"
How rude.
"Well nice to meet you too." I can be quite the sarcastic asshole from time to time.
"What are you doing in Kakashi-sensei's home? You go to our school right?"
"Well excuse me for chilling on a couch in my own home. Am I not allowed to live in my own house?"
His eyes widened. "You LIVE with Kakashi-sensei? Are you his son?"
I had to laugh at his sheer stupidity. "Do I look a damn thing like that pervert? You're an idiot if you think I'm his son."
He frowned and stepped toward me. "Are you his lover? I know he has one."
Again I laughed. "Wow. Hey, Kakashi. You brought home a moron! He thinks you're a pedophile." I snickered as the other male snarled. "Sorry, toots, but I'm not on board the gay train and he tries to stay away from Pedophiliopolis."
"Do you know who is lover IS?" He demanded of me, towering over me. I frowned and stood up, facing him face-to-face.
"Even if I did, I wouldn't tell someone who rudely barged into my home demanding who I was and why I was here. I have the right to call the police on you as you ARE in MY home. You can escort yourself out, or I can have the police do that," I stared at him apathetically. Amusement gone. I don't like being bullied into shit.
His eyes flared and he left in a storm of chaos.
I shook my head. "Man, what a dumbass." Shikamaru would love to hear this story.
Shikamaru's one of my best friends, along with Chouji and Ino. We've been friends for a long time. Shikamaru befriended me first and soon I had three friends. They've noticed how much I've changed... and I think it kinda worries them (more particularly worries Ino). I have friends outside our school, like Gaara and his siblings; we met at one of those geeky conventions... As a NEET, I watch anime, read manga, and play games. It's kind of a status quo for NEETs. But he, his siblings, and I plan out our cosplays for every convention so we can go as a group of matching cosplays.
This year we're doing Kagerou Project with me as Shintaro Kisaragi. I thought it was fitting that I'd be Shintaro. Temari's going as Kido, Kankuro as Seto, and Gaara as Konoha (with an interchangable Kuroha cosplay). It's going to be fun. Don't get us wrong, we have two other cosplay groups (from previous years) that we're gonna do, Magi and Fairy Tail. For Magi, I'm going as Jafar, Gaara as Masrur (I swear they're the exact same person), Temari as Morgianna, and Kankuro as Hakuryuu. For Fairy Tail, I'm going as Gahjeel, Gaara's going as Gray, Temari's going as Erza, and Kankuro's going as Natsu.
I can talk about Cosplays and anime and mangas and games all day. I'm just that much of a dork.
But, then my story wouldn't have a plot.
Anyways, that was mine and later-to-be-known-as-Sasuke's first meeting. He didn't come back for a week.


So this is a redo of my old series "Crazy Love" and since I now have too many stories (involving Sasuke and Naruto) with "(fill in the blank) Love", I retitled it "This is Insane!"
At some point in this series, that title will be used as a line!
But I've been wanting to redo this series for some time.
Besides, it's a more lighthearted and funny series than "Sadistic Love" and "Catatonic Love" and to be honest, I could use a break from the dreariness of the two series.
