I've started... three or four chaptered stories and I'm still dragging them out. I'm sorry. So what do I do? I start another one. Cheers!
Sky.Bloo.Pink! This is your request! With a LotusAia twist, I'm sure. XP Enjoy! (pssst... hey... I take requests if you didn't know...)
The Party
Sasuke Uchiha was not a normal teenager. Everyone agreed to that, but felt this irresistible pull to have him included in their teenage lives. The cool Uchiha was just that; so cool. He was brooding, beautiful, dark, mysterious, and appealing. A fangirl club of Sasuke worshipers watched his every move, noted every glance, and documented anything even slightly from his normal routine. And they lived for this. Boys wanted to be his friends, or closer, just because he was the talk of the generation. He was what everyone wanted, or wanted to be.
And the hell that the Uchiha brat didn't know that.
He smirked at the waves he could make by simply saying something out of the ordinary, such as, "What a pretty sky today." There would be throngs of people gathered around discussing his state of mind, if he'd gone mad, if the boy was possibly sick.
Not only did Sasuke enjoy his power, he used it to his advantage. He couldn't even remember the last time he'd had to train alone. Whenever he needed an ass to kick, there was always an ass-kisser with a waiting booty to be pounded into the dirt.
Of course, he had his few reliable friends. Those that didn't care for his popularity among the girls or the lower ranks, and more of ignored his bitchy attitude more than anything.
Kiba was obnoxious, but he could stand the dog lover. Shino and Shikamaru were probably his favorite hang out friends (if Sasuke ever in his life chose to hang out with someone, which he didn't). The two were quiet and didn't bother him, therefore the Uchiha liked them. Chouji ate too much and trained too little, but he was amusing to watch. Then there was Naruto.
That blonde, obnoxious, Ramen eating, obnoxious, loud, obnoxious, moronic team mate of his. Naruto had to be the most flaring and attention-grabbing person that ever walked the face of any village. If the Dobe even knew there was a bridge named after him, he probably couldn't get any louder about all the other feats he'd done in his life. And more so that pissed Sasuke off, was that Naruto was the only one who openly made fun of him.
No one made fun of an Uchiha. It was just unheard of. The brazen challenges and the barefaced taunts were at first shocking. Sasuke had never met anyone so stupid as to make fun of him. The unashamed orphan was indeed a black sheep. No, not a sheep. Sasuke mulled to himself. Naruto did not follow the flock. He didn't go with the flow and listen to the shepard. Instead, Naruto was a fox. Minus the sly and cunning. Courageous, but no where near sly, and far from cunning. But a fox indeed.
And that is why Sasuke obsessed over him. He watched the blonde, he analyzed every motion, even smile. He'd even categorized Naruto's moods, when the best time to approach him was, when he was less likely to demand a fight and ask for Ramen instead. Sasuke, through all the snide remarks and smirking scoffs always bought Naruto ramen when he asked. The blonde was crazy. Sasuke liked crazy. Sasuke loved crazy.

"Sasuke!"
He winced. Fangirl, 11 o'clock.
He tried to avoid the run in by dodging into Ichiraku with some type of purposeful look. He plopped down in the far corner and tried to meld to the shadows.
"Oi! Teme! I was sitting there!" A certain Uzumaki pointed angrily at his jacket that was draped over the chair. "A guy can't go to the bathroom without having his seat stolen!" he bemoaned so loudly that the entire shop turned to stare.
Sasuke had turned red and was glaring with all his might, though every glare he'd ever sent the boy was rejected by stupidity. "Shhhh! Naruto you're so frickin' loud, would you stop-?"
"Sasuke! There you are! And Naruto, you need to stop calling him that! It's so rude!" Ino landed a well placed punch across the back of Naruto's head, sending him over a bar stool to the ground.
Sasuke winced, watching the blonde gripe and whine at her. She ignored him completely though, instead her eyes lighting up with love and passion as she leaned forward towards Sasuke, "Heeeey, Sasuke, listen. I know you don't really do the party scene or anything, but we're throwing a 'thank god we're all alive' party and well… we wanted you to come, too!" She beamed brightly and held out an invitation.
He stared at the extended paper. "I haven't gone to the last seven. So save the paper and give it to someone else. Maybe Naruto would enjoy something loud and obnoxious."
Naruto, having picked himself up off the floor and snatched his bowl of ramen from Sasuke's vicinity, glared at the blunt boy beside him. "I'm helping to put it on, asshole. So shut up a stop being such a cry baby. We all know that you're not going because you can't handle your stupid claustrophobia." he grinned ruthlessly.
After having just lost the color in his cheeks, it didn't take long for the Sasuke to regain the tint. "I am not claustrophobic." he snarled. "And don't-!"
"Then why were you clinging to me on our last mission in the tunnels, eh? You were all sweaty and gross and clingy!" The kitsune's face screwed up in a defying contortion.
Scowling, the brooding boy let fly a thump to the already existing lump on Naruto's head. "Dobe." he muttered, standing up and glaring. "I don't like parties."
This time Naruto hit back, "You're just a loser, that's why! Can't stand the thought of people possible touching your pretty boy clothing? Or will all the dancing and decibels mess up your perfect hair-do?" he taunted, all the while inhaling the rest of his ramen.
Sasuke slammed the invitation down on the table beside Naruto's bowl, broth sloshing across the paper. "I'll come to your stupid party, and I'll ruin your good time just so I can see the look on your face." he sneered, the spite dripping through the grin as he sauntered out of Ichiraku's.
Ino watched him go, Naruto silently smirking in victory. He just loved getting under the Uchiha's skin.
"Now look what you've done!" Ino issued another punishing blow. "You've pissed him off! I HATE you Naruto!" she stormed out, clutching her invitations unintentionally hard.
Naruto only rubbed the back of his head and turned back to what was once a peaceful lunch. He sighed and leaned over the bowl, "Maybe Shikamaru will be in a less violent and quieter mood." he mused, head dipping forward to suck up another full-sized bite.
Bite me! I need inspiration to finish what I start! I'm such a loser.
