A/N: This is probably only going to range 5 - 10 chapters, possibly not even that. It's going to be really short. This is my very first Sasunaru story, so it might not be that good. I haven't watched the show in awhile, so they may be out of character every now and then. I apologize for that. xD Other than that, I hope you enjoy reading the first chapter!!
DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything.
Note: the title may change...:) And after I post all the chapters, I'll go through and proofread, so if you find any mistakes, please tell me. xD
Ok, so today isn't really my day, but when is any day? Sakura and Naruto fight. There are a few punches and kicks. I ignore them. They get over it. Then it repeats. The only thing is, they've been fighting non-stop today, and it's getting on my nerves more than usual.
"Could you two just be quiet for two seconds?" I glared.
They stopped for awhile, but eventually, a few punches and kicks, then the screaming, resumed. I couldn't take it. I growled, walking a few paces faster and getting in front of them. Kakashi was a bit ahead of us, so I just stood next to him. I didn't say anything, though.
Stupid comrades. Stupid Senseis. Stupid everything. I hate people.
"Sasuke?" Naruto approached me, "What's up?"
I didn't reply as I hid my face from his. I couldn't stare at him right now or I'd rip his head off. He's too annoying for me to handle.
"Sasuke?" I felt him poke my arm.
"Loser," I glared.
I saw him shrink back, and I glared at him and Sakura behind me. They better not mess with me today or I'll take their heads and smash them together…or something worse.
The next day rolled around, and we returned to Konoha. I went to the training grounds to train for awhile to vent – nothing new.
I couldn't stand all these random emotions that have been popping up lately. I'm the Sasuke that doesn't feel, and I've always been good at hiding those things anyway.
This was a different emotion. I had never felt it before. For some reason, it only appeared when Naruto was around. I hated it.
"Sasuke!" speak of the devil, and he arrives, "Want to go eat some Ramen with me and Choji?"
I stopped punching and looked over towards the little bastard. I just stared and didn't say anything.
"So you want to?" he smiled, showing his cute dimples.
Wait, cute? Snap out of it, Sasuke!
"No," I replied, hiding my blush as I turned to continue my punching.
"Ah, come on! It'll be fun," Naruto pleaded.
"…No," I responded, punching harder and harder as his hot voice sent shivers down my spine.
"Please?" he begged.
Oh, will he never shut up and leave?!
"I said no," I growled.
"Fine," he pouted and walked off with Choji.
"Hey, Sasuke, want to get something to eat?" Sakura smiled, causing my stomach to churn unhappily. I wanted to vomit.
"No," I replied calmly.
"Ah, come on, you must be hungry. You didn't have lunch," she giggled.
God, make this torturing stop…
"No," I responded dangerously and stood up to leave.
"Fine," she frowned and watched me walk off.
What's with people and food anyway? I sighed in aggravation.
"Sasuke!"
I turned around swiftly to see the little bastard running excitedly towards me with something in his hands.
"Sasuke, guess what!" he smiled.
"What?" I asked.
"I got some money from the pervy sage!" he exclaimed.
"So?" I sighed, waiting for some offer of food again.
"Want to go buy something with me?!" he asked.
Buy something? I thought strangely.
"Buy what?" I questioned.
"Anything, really. I just want to spend it," he stated, grabbing my wrist and pulling me down the street.
His hands feel really soft…I thought as a blush crept up my cheeks.
"Come on!" he smiled back at me, causing my blush to grow deeper.
Uchiha's don't blush! I closed my eyes in anger – not at Naruto, though. I was mad at myself.
"Why do I like that brat?" I thought aloud in disgust. Ever since that day, his voice, his smile, his touch, his laugh – none of it leaves my thoughts!
"I can't let this happen to me," I sighed, twirling the bracelet that he bought me in my fingers. I haven't worn it around him or anyone besides myself.
I wonder if I should tell him about the emotions I've been feeling. No, that'd be awkward, but then again, maybe these feelings aren't what I think they are. It could be jealousy or infatuation. Am I jealous of how good he is compared to me?
"Maybe I should consult Sakura about it…" I sat the bracelet down and stood up to go out for a bit. Training always cools me down.
"Then again, she'd laugh and tell everyone," I shook my head, "Maybe the Hokage knows something about these things."
God, I hate my life. What ever I could have done in a past life – I swear whoever I was I will kill them.
I walked out to the training grounds, throwing a few punches, kicks, and doing a few shadow clones and stuff at random for warm-up.
"Mind if I join?"
I turned my head quickly to see Naruto, all dressed and sexy like normal. Wait, sexy…?
I mentally stabbed myself a few times, refusing myself to speak that way.
"I don't care," I stated.
"Want to spar?" he smiled mischievously.
"…Sure," I blushed slightly.
And so we spared. I noticed how weak I was being as we spared. I just couldn't bring myself to hurt the little brat. He was just so damn cute! God, why do I always say that?
"Hey, Sasuke, can I ask a question?" Naruto asked. We had decided to take a break.
I didn't respond.
"How come you've been acting different lately?" he continued.
I froze. Had I really been that readable?
"Everyone's been worried. You've been acting a bit different – like tense and worried," Naruto explained, "What's been bugging you?"
"…" I couldn't respond.
"I thought you wouldn't answer," Naruto sighed, "Well, listen. If you ever need anyone to talk to, you can talk to me."
I looked over at him. I would talk to him about it, but it'd been way too awkward. How can I say 'I think I'm in love with you' randomly?
"I promise I won't tell anyone," he smiled reassuringly, giving me a pat on the back.
"Naruto," I started, taking a deep breath to calm my nerves.
"What?" he questioned, giving me a strange look.
"Never mind," I shook my head, standing up, "I'm going to head back to my place. Later, Brat."
"Wait, Sasuke!" Naruto ran up beside me, "Weren't you going to say something?"
"No," I lied.
"But you never call me 'Naruto' without saying something…" he trailed off.
"Just don't worry about it, ok? You'll hurt your head too much," I smirked.
"…" he looked upset; it made me want to take my heart and yank it out of my chest, throw it on the ground, and stomp on it.
"Listen, I normally wouldn't do this," I started, "but…It's just complicated. Never mind," I turned away, dashing back to my house.
"WAIT, SASUKE!" I felt Naruto running after me.
Damnit, why'd I have to be so translucent?! I thought I was hiding my expressions well…
I ran inside my house and shut the door, locked it, and sat down on the couch.
"…Sasuke?" I heard a knock on my door.
I didn't respond.
"Will you please just talk about it?" he said, "You would feel better if you talked about it."
I still didn't reply. I couldn't. It was too hard. My shell is nice and safe. Out there is terrible and childish.
"Sasuke, will you just take your big ego out of your ass and talk about things?!" Naruto shouted, causing my eyes to widen.
Did he seriously just shout? He sounds so hot when he's mad…Wait, that's not the point here! He's really worried. Stupid blond.
I got up off of the couch and opened the front door.
"Why are you so worried?" I questioned.
"Because you're my friend," the way he said friend made my heart want to crack slightly.
"I don't want to talk about it," I stated.
"Why not?" he pleaded, "You'll feel better. I can tell something is seriously bothering you, Sasuke! You can't hide it."
I scowled.
"Just, please..." he stated, "I want to help."
I sighed, my heart pounding. I couldn't tell him what was seriously bugging me.
"You can come in, I guess, but don't get your hopes up. I just don't want anyone seeing us argue," I glared.
Naruto walked inside, and I shut the door behind me. I locked the door to be on the safe side.
"Hey," Naruto stated.
"What?" I sighed in annoyance.
"Why won't you tell anyone what's bugging you?" Naruto tried to find the right words, "Well, more or so, why don't you ever ask anyone for help?"
"Because I don't need it," I replied.
"You can't always do everything on your own," Naruto pointed out.
I didn't respond.
"Asking for help once in awhile isn't a crime," he added.
"It's not that I don't need help. It's that I don't want help," I explained.
"Why?" Naruto asked, showing his cute, upset, worried face. Even though it was cute, it was still heartbreaking.
"If I told you what was on my mind right now," I said, "your big head would explode."
"Try me," Naruto stated stubbornly.
"…" I didn't want to say anything, and he just stood there stubbornly.
Naruto took a seat on the couch, showing that he wasn't going to leave any time soon. I stood there in frustration. Why did he have to butt into my business anyway? I still denied I liked him more than a comrade. There's no way I could like someone in that sort of way.
"I don't want to," I finally said.
It was the truth. I seriously didn't want to ruin my reputation, even though it would be nice to get rid of those annoying fan girls. I seriously didn't want fan boys, though, and there was always that sad possibility.
"You know, Sasuke," Naruto stared at me dangerously; it turned me on so bad, "There's one thing that seriously bugs me sometimes – and that's your egotistical attitude."
I was slightly shocked, but I didn't show it. Naruto rarely got mad, and when he did, he was always serious.
I stared at him and didn't say anything.
"Talking to people once in awhile seriously won't kill you. You may find happiness in it," Naruto stated, "Something you obviously have never shown."
I was starting to get slightly pissed. I've been happy before, I think, but like he said, I guess I've never shown it. I hated it when he pointed out things like that.
The only weird thing is, this whole thing was slightly turning me on. It drove me mad. He looked so fucking hot when he was angry and serious like that. His lips were so tempting.
Woah, Sasuke. Don't think like that. That's not like you. Naruto is a comrade and nothing else. He's just a stupid blond in your house, getting pissed at you because you won't speak – like usual.
"Naruto," I glared back at him.
He returned my glare, but no one can out glare me. Mine was still more intense.
"I think I'm starting to feel things," I couldn't believe what I was saying, "That I shouldn't be feeling."
"So that's what's been bothering you?" his look kind of softened, "What kind of things have you been feeling?"
"I don't know," I can't tell him.
"Well, when do you feel them?" he tried to converse.
"…" I blushed slightly, but I tried to hide it.
"Are you all right?" Naruto walked over to me, "It looks like you're…blushing!"
Naruto's eyes widened and I turned around to try and walk away. Too late, though. He grabbed my wrist.
"Do you like someone?!" he exclaimed.
"…No…" I can't like Naruto, but that doesn't mean I don't.
"Liar," he stated, "Who do you like?"
"I can't say," I said.
"So you do like someone?" I could hear Naruto's huge smile in his voice, "I never thought I would see this day – you liking someone."
I glared at him even though he couldn't see it. Just because I'm a Uchiha and an ass sometimes doesn't mean I don't like people.
"How come you can't say?" Naruto asked softly.
"…" I didn't respond.
"Please?" he pleaded again with that voice that sent shivers down my spine.
"It's…" I tried to say it, but a sudden lump in throat wouldn't allow me to speak.
"It's who?" he urged.
"…you…" I whispered, barely audible.
"Inu?" he asked, trying to figure it out.
I shook my head, "No, I don't like the pig. It's you."
"M-M-Me..?!" his eyes grew wide, and he released my wrist.
"…Leave," I stated while I continued my way down the hall in my house to my room. I couldn't believe I just confessed to that stupid blond.
