My first published SasukexNaruto fan fiction. Sweet. I'll try to keep this PG, but if I can't think of any soft ideas, I might just end this suddenly. Okay?
The trees were adorned with red and gold, and the south courtyard of Konoha High was filled with life. It was the last week of the school year and all the seniors were letting loose. Even though the majority of the students were now young adults, immature behaviour was a regular at Konoha High.
"Hey, give that back!" Yelled one of the younger seniors as another ran away with what appeared to be a cup of instant ramen. A bunch of the more popular kids just sniggered as the younger, blonde boy, stumbled and chased after the boy who took his lunch.
"Ya gotta catch me if ya want it, fox boy." The ramen thief laughed.
"Don't call me that!" The blonde said, feeling a burst of energy. He was just about to get his lunch back, when he tripped, falling into one of the most mysterious guys in school, who he was sure that he hated him.
The most of the other students, including the boy who took the ramen, burst into hysterics.
"S-Sasuke… I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean t-"
Sasuke wiped his long, black, bangs out of his sharp, serious black eyes and looked down on the fallen boy. His face expressionless. "You've got to watch were you're going, Naruto, fox boy." He held his hand out to the blondie, Naruto, offering to help him up. Naruto hesitated for a moment, wondering why Sasuke Uchiha, of all people, is offering to help.
"I-I can stand up by myself, thank you very much." Naruto said, trying to be polite, but his words still came out in a rude tone. He quickly took a look around the courtyard to find the guy who took his lunch, but he'd left. "Dammit. I needed that ramen, I haven't eaten all day." He said quietly, clenching his stomach.
Sasuke sighed. "Since it was partially my fault that I got in your way, and made you lose track of your lunch, I could get you something."
"Why would someone like you, the guy all the girls have a crush on, want to do something for me?"
Sasuke just glared, signalling for Naruto to shut up and just accept the lunch. He walked off to the cafeteria and Naruto followed.
At the cafeteria, Sasuke ordered some dango for Naruto and the pair took a seat, getting a few odd looks from other students. The dark, mysterious Uchiha hanging out with the loser foxy boy, Naruto, could be some big gossip among certain groups.
"You know, if you didn't have those weird whiskers drawn on your face, people wouldn't tease you as much." Sasuke said, surprisingly casually pointing at the marks on Naruto's face.
Naruto, who had been trying to avoid conversation, blushed a little bit as he finished his dango. "It's not like I choose to have these on my face or anything…"
Naruto was just about to open his mouth to thank Sasuke for the meal, but then the loud, obnoxious buzzing noise, also known as the 'bell' signalled for the end of lunch break and the beginning of the last lesson of the day. Sasuke stood up and left before Naruto even realized it.
Throughout the whole lesson, Naruto couldn't stop thinking about Sasuke, and why he was being so nice to him.
'Dammit, why can't that guy get out of my head?' Naruto slapped himself to make sure he wouldn't start having any odd thoughts.
"Is everything alright back there, Naruto? People don't usually just slap themselves in the middle of class." His teacher, Iruka, asked.
"Uh, yeah. Just waking myself up so I can listen to you amazing lesson." He fibbed. "Dammit, Sasuke, why can't I stop thinking about you?" He added extremely quietly.
"Oh, what's this about Sasuke, I hear?" Kiba, another one of the screw-balls in the class, who also had excellent hearing, leaned over. "Y'hear that? Naruto love Sawsgay!" He laughed.
"I do not. Stop telling lies, Kiba." Naruto said, keeping his cool.
"Naruto and Sasuke, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes…" The whole class chanted before Iruka instructed them to be quiet, or he'd give them a test, even though it's the last week of school. 'Thank God Sasuke's not in this class…'
Once the final bell sounded, all the hallways flooded with teenagers, eager to get out of school to see their friends and family. Naruto just took his time, after all, he had no one to welcome him home or hang out with. He was just about to leave the school gates when he caught a glimpse of Sasuke out of his peripheral. Naruto started walking towards him to thank him for the lunch, as he hadn't been able to do it previously.
As if he could sense Naruto approaching behind him, Sasuke spun around and hugged him pulling him close to his chest.
Naruto's eyes grew wide with confusion and he pushed Sasuke away from him, hiding his blush.
"What the hell? Why'd you do that?"
"I'm sorry, little fox, I had no idea what came over me." Sasuke apologized bluntly.
"Okay, well," Naruto started. "I just came to thank you for lunch, it was very, uh, kind of you."
"No problem. I'll make sure no one takes you lunch again or even pick on you."
"You do know that it's the last week of school? Saying all this now doesn't really mean anything." Naruto stated. "Anyway, why are you acting all nice to me all of a sudden?"
"I've always found you interesting, Naruto." Sasuke said calmly, allowing the smallest smile to cross his face.
"Then why didn't you try talking to me sooner? Now you're just acting all creepy!" He raised his voice. "If I knew you didn't hate me, I would've tried to become your friend! You always seemed alone, too, even though everyone supposedly loves you!"
Sasuke was in slight shock from Naruto's rage. He thought that he needed to calm him down, or at least take his mind off of things.
Sasuke pulled Naruto's face towards his, and gently placed his lips on Naruto's. Naruto didn't have enough time to process what was going on, so he didn't pull away straight away. Only did he realize what was going on when he heard a bunch of girls, who he assumed had a crush on Sasuke, squeal. As soon as he realized what was going on, he pulled away and landed a punch on Sasuke's face, leaving his perfect pale skin bruised.
Naruto gave the boy that just kissed him and odd glare, then turned and hastily walked the opposite direction, towards his home.
Sasuke hung his head in shame as he walked home. He didn't mean to pash Naruto, after all, the two had only just technically met, even though Sasuke had been keeping an eye on Naruto since 7th grade. He needs to learn more self-control.
And after all that, he never did get to ask Naruto what he planned to ask… But he could worry about that tomorrow.
At the Uzumaki home or more simply known as Naruto's place, Naruto crashed on his bed. He turned to view his calendar, only to be reminded about the graduation dinner on the last day of school. He didn't have anyone to go with, his family couldn't take him, he had no girlfriend to go with, because the girl he liked, Sakura, had too much pride to go out with someone like him, and none of his supposed friends really wanted to go with him either.
At the Uchiha residents, Sasuke sat under the kotatsu to warm up from the autumn weather. He clutched a photo frame which held an image, taken when Sasuke was around five years old, of his family.
"Sorry, mother and father, I failed to make a friend again. I guess I'll have to either attend graduation alone or not go at all."
