Author's Note: Hello. Welcome to my version of Seven Days. Seven Days is an actual BL Manga so if you have not read it then I suggest you do since it's amazing. If you have read it then you'll notice my version will be a bit different from that. The reason being simple: I don't want to make an exact copy of it. I'm going to change a few things and stick to the characters actual personality and age as much as I possibly can. I hope you'll like the changes.

Enjoy.

Also, thank you to The Mummy who went through my chapters.

Monday

A teenage boy sat by his desk looking out the window. His blue eyes were gazing up at the sky as he thought about his failed relationship. He wasn't particularly sad it ended. He had expected this. Girls would often confess to him that after getting to know each other they dumped him only because he couldn't meet their expectations. It was stupid really. The many girls he'd gone through were all the same. They thought because he looked handsome he should have a great personality to go with his looks. It was ignorant to think like that. He ran his hands through his blond locks while he yawned tiredly.

A sudden sharp pain struck the boy, surprising him greatly. A yelp escaped his lips before he turned to his right where a girl with pink hair stood.

"Sakura-chan?" He wasn't that surprised to see her standing there looking at him with a pointed look. "Why'd you hit me?" he asked with a frown as he rubbed the sore spot on the back of his head.

"Naruto, it's because you do such things like yawning out loud that the girls you're always with dump you in a flash, despite that good-looking face of yours, you know?" she said in her usual smart ass tone. "It's about time you got aware of things like that and did something about them."

"Yeah, yeah. I get it." The blond waved his hand as if to brush off the girl's words. He liked Sakura but she could be kind of a nuisance at times. This being one of those times.

The pinkette sighed with a roll of her eyes. "You never listen to advice when it's given to you," she said and crossed her arms over her chest. "If you go on like that, your girlfriend's going to fall out of love with you pretty soon." Her words sounded more like a warning than actual advice now.

"I'm thankful for your concern Sakura-chan, but I already got dumped."

That earned him a surprised look. "When?"

"Yesterday."

The two lapsed into silence. Naruto turned to write down something in his textbook. A sudden thought struck him in the middle of writing and he turned back to Sakura.

"She told me that I wasn't the person she thought I was."

"There, didn't I tell you?" She sounded a bit smug even though her face was sympathetic.

The blond sighed as he turned back to writing. "It's her own fault for assuming. They're always the ones to confess their love to me to begin with and then they get disappointed when I'm not what they expect me to be."

"Well, you can't really blame them. After all, there's a huge gap between your personality and your appearance."

The blond rolled his eyes at the pinkette. It wasn't his fault they didn't like the person he really was.

"Putting your personality aside I have to say you look beautiful when you're drawing your bow. There's like this very stoic air around you." She smiled at him. "And then there's that face of yours, which makes you seem just like the prince these naive girls have been fantasizing about. So it's not that hard to understand why they would assume."

Naruto rubbed the back of his neck as another sigh escaped him. "I guess this image won't disappear until I leave the club..."

"Stop sighing. You look pathetic."

He simply raised an eyebrow at the pinkette. "Do I look like I care?"

"Honestly? No, and that's kind of sad. You should be more careful about showing your true self."

That earned her a snort. "I think it's a bit too late for that."

"Whatever. Don't come crying to me when another one dumps you."

"Believe me, I won't." He paused and began to stare at nothing in particular. "Anyway," he began to catch the other's attention. "The girls should get into their heads that perfect guys from a book or TV drama don't exist." A sudden thought crossed his mind and he looked up at Sakura. "I'd consider myself lucky if I could get someone as realistic as you, Sakura-chan."

"Oh?" The pinkette looked at him with interest. "How about it then? Do you want to try going out with me?"

"Sure, why not?" he answered immediately.

Sakura looked at him as if she'd never seen him before. "No way... Agreeing to it so lightly…"

"So you were just kidding?"

"Of course I was!"

He shrugged. "Okay. I had a feeling you didn't really mean it. Stuff like falling in love..." he trailed off and thought about it for a moment. "You never know when it's going to happen to you."

The pinkette looked at him in silence. She was about to say something else when a voice from behind interrupted her.

"Hey!" The two students turned their heads to the voice to see a boy with mussed brown hair. "Do you guys want to order some pizza?"

Naruto's eyes lit up like a kid's on Christmas Day. "Yeah!"

A few minutes passed as the three discussed on what to order. Suddenly a pair of girls caught the blonde's attention and he couldn't help but listen into what they were saying.

"Sasuke-kun is not here yet," said one of the girls.

"I guess he's not coming to school today," said the other one.

"I wonder if he's sick."

"Yeah, I'm worried too."

"Seems like Uchiha hasn't shown up today."

The blond turned back to the brunet who'd spoken. He couldn't help but roll his eyes. "I kind of noticed that Kiba."

"Oh yeah! Isn't Uchiha in archery?" He received a nod. "You're in the same year so you must be close, huh?"

The blond shook his head. "Not at all. We're just acquaintances. He rarely comes to practice so I don't see him that often." He looked back at the pair of girls and noticed they had a certain look in their eyes. A sudden thought crossed his mind. "Is it Monday today?"

"Yeah," said the brunet as he looked at the girls as well. "The day he'll definitely say 'yes'."

"And at the end of the week he'll tell his partner exactly this: "I couldn't fall in love with you. Let's break up.""

The two boys turned towards Sakura that had spoken.

"Ah... That reminds me... Sakura-"

"That's right! I went out with him for exactly one week in May," she said proudly with a big smile.

Naruto raised an eyebrow at her. "Why are you so proud of that?"

"Because it felt like I had hit jackpot when it happened." She looked out in the distance with a wistful smile plastered on her face. "It was like a beautiful dream."

The blond frowned a little. "Hey, isn't that a contradiction to what you were telling me earlier?"

The pinkette looked surprised. "Wow, I didn't know you knew such a difficult word like contradiction."

The other scowled feeling offended. "Shut up..."

"Anyway," said the brunet before the two started arguing. "Normal guys like me will never understand people who are that popular. Exactly what kind of person is Uchiha Sasuke anyway?"

"Well," began the blond as he stood up from his desk while thinking about the guy. "He's handsome."

"I really didn't need you to tell me that. I can tell by just looking at him." The brunet looked at the blond who began to walk towards the door. "Hey!" he called out to stop him. "Where are you going?"

"Someone's gotta get those pizzas, right? You know my order. Just call and tell the delivery man there will be someone picking them up at the gates." He was on his way out when a thought occurred to him. "Oh, and you two can help me finish my assignment in return. See ya!"

…

Naruto sat by the school gates looking up to the sky. It was clear with the exception of a few fluffy white clouds. He was currently thinking about what Kiba and Sakura had said regarding one Uchiha Sasuke. It was strange. He'd never found an interest in the guy. Now though, he was curious about what kind of a person he was. Well, he couldn't be any worse than he was for sure.

A sudden noise of a vehicle passing by snapped him out of his thoughts and he looked towards said transport. Is that the pizza man? He wondered for a moment as the car stopped a few feet away from him. It was confirmed that it wasn't when he could see and recognize one of the people. He continued watching the scene before him as the boy with raven hair spoke to the woman sitting behind the wheel. Black eyes suddenly glanced up and their eyes locked for a second.

The eyes turned away from him and back to the woman. Their conversation seemed to have ended as the raven took a step back and the woman drove off. Both of their eyes watched as the car disappeared from view.

"Morning."

Naruto turned back to the front where the one and only Uchiha Sasuke was standing. He smiled kindly. "Long time no see, Uchiha." He studied the other's face and could definitely see why girls fawn over him. Handsome didn't quite cut it. His looks were a bit beyond that. "Was that your girlfriend for the week?" he asked suddenly. "She looks older than twenty."

"You're not very observant, N- Namikaze. You're wrong on both accounts."

That was another thing. Every time the raven would say his last name he would stumble on it. It was as if he had difficulty saying it. It was strange but he'd never been so curious to ask since he rarely saw him.

"Anyway, what are you doing here in the first place?" asked the raven. "Don't you have class right now? It would be bad if you missed anything important."

"I'm waiting for pizza," said the blond casually. "We have a self-study period right now."

"I see."

The two lapsed into silence that wasn't entirely too uncomfortable. Naruto kept on staring at Sasuke while the other was looking at the sky. He kept on thinking about what Sakura had said. About that one week being like a dream.

"Say, has anyone yet confessed their love for you today?" he asked suddenly.

The raven looked at him in slight surprise but he shook his head eventually. "Not yet."

"So it's going to start from now, huh..."

"Well, we'll have to see about that." The raven was a bit confused why the blond seemed so interested about his life all of a sudden, but didn't show it.

Said blond was actually wondering what he was thinking but he couldn't seem to stop himself. "Then," he began to catch the other's attention as those black eyes locked with his. "Are you really fine with anyone as long as they ask you first? Even if they're not your type?"

Sasuke looked amused. "My type? Sorry to disappoint you, but I don't really have one."

Naruto looked at the other in surprise. "Really? That can't be."

"And how is that?" he asked with a smirk.

"There has to be something. Isn't there a type of face, or body that you like? Hair color, or eye color? Complexion? Do you like them tall, or short? Curvy, or skinny?"

The raven looked away from the other as he thought about that for a moment before reaching a conclusion. "Well, I kind of like your face." He looked at the blond who was staring at him. "I guess that's what you meant by 'type'." He smirked.

Naruto didn't know why he said the next set of words. It could be because of the compliment, or that the other just looked so damn gorgeous at that moment. Before he knew it the words were out, ones he couldn't take back.

"How about going out with me then?"

The blond received a look of pure surprise. He didn't get to hear what the other's answer was as a noise interrupted them. A man on a scooter drove up to them that seemed to definitely be the pizza delivery man the blond had been waiting for. He stood up and dusted off his pants before walking up to the man.

"Are you Namikaze?" he asked the blond.

"Yes." He reached over to take out his wallet from his back pocket when he noticed something was amiss. He felt around every pant and coat pocket only to realize he'd forgotten it in his bag that was still lying by his desk. He was about to open his mouth to apologize and tell the man he'd left it only to find the pizza delivery man no longer there. Instead, Sasuke stood there with the pizza box in his hands. It didn't take a genius to figure out what had just happened. He smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry, I left my wallet in class. Tell me how much I owe you and I'll pay you back later."

"It's fine," said the raven before thrusting the pizza box at the blond who accepted it. "You should go now before the pizza gets cold." And with that he turned to leave.

Naruto was too stunned to really register what had just happened but eventually began to make his way back to the classroom.

…

"Hey Naruto, do you want to drop by the cinema to see if they got any cool movies?" asked Kiba the minute he and Naruto were preparing to leave the classroom.

"Yeah, sure," said Naruto a bit distracted.

"Are you okay?" asked the brunet. "You've been sort of out of it."

"I just..." the blond began but couldn't really finish the sentence as he sighed.

"Come on," said the brunet and patted the other's shoulder. "If something's eating you don't keep it in. I'm here, you know."

The blond smiled, feeling grateful to have such a good friend.

"N- Namikaze."

Naruto turned around at the new voice and saw Sasuke standing by the door frame. "Oh." He suddenly remembered what had happened just a few hours ago. He quickly dug up his wallet from his bag and opened it. "I almost forgot to pay you. How much do I owe you?"

"Nothing."

"Huh?" he looked up in complete surprise.

"You owe me nothing."

The blond raised an eyebrow at that. "Don't be ridiculous."

"I'm not."

The blond wanted to keep going but felt that no words could change the other's mind. He's more stubborn than me.

"I was wondering if we could go home together."

Now that was really surprising. "Huh?"

"Ah. Maybe you have something on?"

"Well... Kind of..."

"I see." The raven seemed completely unconcerned as he suddenly fished out his phone. "Do you have a cellphone?"

This was just getting more and more confusing. "Yes, what of it?"

"That's good. I was thinking we should exchange numbers and e-mail addresses."

For some reason Naruto couldn't say no as he just went with it. He figured that perhaps Sasuke wanted to be friends with him and this was his odd little way of doing so.

"Is it alright if I call you Naruto?"

That was another surprise. "Sure, but why?" This was the perfect time to ask why he had so difficulty in pronouncing his last name.

"N- Namikaze is a name that's a bit difficult for me to say."

No shit, you just proved that by stumbling on it again. "I don't mean to pry, but why is that?"

"Honestly? I was dumped by a woman whose first name just happens to be Nami."

That was understandable. "Alright. You can call me Naruto, but only if I can call you Sasuke."

"Of course."

The two shortly parted ways after that. As Naruto was walking on his way home he wondered why Sasuke had behaved in such a manner. He could understand paying for the pizza since he couldn't at the time. He had been generous. But the other things made no sense. Not accepting the money he owed, exchanging contact information, and being asked to be called by his given name. It was all moving a bit too fast in his opinion. He wondered why the other had suddenly began to do all of this.

"How about going out with me then?"

He stopped dead in his tracks. The blond turned around in the direction he'd come from. He wondered for a brief moment if the raven had taken his words seriously.
