As I got in the shower after cross-country practice I could feel thirty eyes on me. The thirty eyes of the boy's cross-country team. I would have felt uncomfortable if I wasn't used to it.
I walked into the classroom and about fifty eyes went straight to me. I could feel them looking all over me waiting for me to talk. I chose to pay attention to the pair of eyes coming from the adult standing at the front of the classroom. I walked up to him and handed him my slip of paper. He took it and looked at me strangely. He then shrugged and turned back to the class.
"This is a foreign exchange student from… hell, I don't know. His name is Nar-rut-toe? I'm not even going to try the last name," the teacher announced to the class earning giggles from most of the class.
"Na-root-toe Oo-zoo-mah-key," Naruto corrected. The class stared at him again when he spoke like he had grown a second head. He ignored the stares and waited for the teacher to say something.
"Okay…um… you can sit there in the back, unless you would like to sit in front?" the teacher said looking at his seating chart and adding him to his roster.
"No, the back is fine. I wouldn't want to inconvenience anyone by making them move," Naruto replied politely. Everyone looked at him again even those who had begun to lose interest.
"Okay… then sit and we can begin again…" the teacher droned on while Naruto moved to the back of the classroom to sit by the window with still all forty-eight eyes locked onto his figure. 'Great, this is going to be an interesting year…' he thought to himself.
Blinking back into reality he realized how different it had been after that. Still everybody stares at him everywhere he goes but now it was a different stare. At first he was like an animal at a zoo but now it was people wishing he would look at them and others with lust or just pure interest. He walked around the school now with his head held high and waving to the people he knew, occasionally having a conversation, and glancing at a few others who blushed and looked away.
'Yes, it has been different,' he thought while washing himself quickly to get rid of the sweat and grime he was covered in. After he was finished he turned off the shower and got out of the locker room showers with a towel around himself. As he dried off with another towel he went to his locker nodding and having conversations with a few of his teammates, all who were trying not to blush, but failing.
When he got to his locker he rubbed the towel through his blond hair vigorously getting out as much water as possible before putting on his boxers and black pants. He took out a comb and ran it through his hair before running his fingers through it to get the style that he liked. The people here called it a skater cut, whatever that meant.
His muscles were starting to get a little tense so he stretched his arms real quick to get rid of a knot in his shoulder earning more eyes looking at him. They watched intently as his muscles rippled under his tan skin. 'Its fun sometimes to put on a little show,' he thought to himself smiling a little. When he decided it was enough attention he grabbed his white muscle tee and put it on, then slipped on a grey overshirt unbuttoned. He put all of his stuff in his locker and bag and shut his locker with a slam.
"Bye guys!" he called out to nobody in particular but got many responses of farewells from throughout the locker room. A few people walked up to him and gave him a half hug and a farewell and compliments on his speed.
"Thanks, see you Monday," Naruto replied to one of his friends, Jason, as he went out the door. He sighed and went out of the school to the parking lot where his motorcycle was.
"What's a motorcycle?" Naruto asked when Kakashi finished his story of how he had learned to drive when he visited America.
"It has two wheels like a bicycle but it has a motor. You don't have to peddle, it moves on its own. And it goes faster than anyone can run, even us shinobi." Sakura answered because she had read it in a book at the library that someone had brought back with them.
"Wow! I want one!" Naruto exclaimed running off to go tell Iruka about motorcycles.
'I can't believe he listened to me go on and on for two hours over ramen about that,' Naruto thought shaking his head while he put his helmet on and started the bike. 'I guess I can't believe I actually have one either. I got it the first day I came here along with my license. How I got my license without a permit is a mystery to me.' She thought zooming out of the parking lot and down the street taking a left at the corner to go to his apartment. 'At least it scared the shit out of Sasuke.' He smirked at memory of him jumping when he started it.
Naruto took off his helmet and ran his fingers through it to fix it took off his gloves and put his key in the lock of the door and unlocked it. He turned the knob and was pulled in by someone opening the door and grabbing his shirt pulling him into a hard body and warm, soft lips. He was shoved into the now closed door dropping all of his stuff and kissing back with just as much fervor. He put his hands in the dark hair of the boy kissing him and moaned in pleasure. The boy pulled back and opened his dark eyes and smiled.
"Welcome home," Sasuke said before kissing him again lightly and smiling and going farther into the apartment.
"Thanks," Naruto smiled back and pulled away to pull off his shoes and pick up the things he dropped and placing them on the table by the door and following his partner.
"So how was practice?" Sasuke asked pulling a cup down from the cabinet and filling it with tea from on top of the stove.
"It was good. So far I've broke my own record twice not to mention the school record. The coach thinks we are going to win the meet on Monday. He says I'm the best runner he's ever met." Naruto said smiling cheekily sitting down at the small table.
"That's just because you're shinobi. Of course you're better than everyone who's normal. We've trained ourselves to be better," Sasuke said calmly handing him the cup and sitting down at his place where his cup already was.
"Yah, I know, but it's nice to be the best for once. To be liked by everybody…" Naruto trailed off staring at his cup.
"Naruto, I love you but if you're going to do this every time we have a conversation…" Sasuke didn't even want to think the rest.
"I know and I'm sorry I was just thinking about how differently I'm treated at school then back at home. I love you too and I never want to be without you, whether your better than me or not," Naruto replied taking a drink of his tea and smiling lovingly at Sasuke.
"I never want to be without you either. I don't think I could bear it." Sasuke got up and walked over to him and gave him a hug from behind. Naruto turned around to hug him back and breathe in the musky scent that he knew so well that was Sasuke. That smell reminded him of thousands of kisses and a million touches and the warmth he felt in his heart of being held every night in his arms.
"You should come to school with me once. I think the girls would go crazy." Naruto said as Sasuke nuzzled his neck and started to kiss his neck tenderly while taking Naruto's seat and pulling him on top of him.
"I think they would freak out when I kissed you. They'd hate me at least. I heard you had your own fan club." Sasuke replied starting to nibble at his neck and suck on it leaving a hickey.
"How did you find that out? But yah probably…" Naruto leaned down and kissed Sasuke because he didn't want a mark on his neck. Sasuke pushed off Naruto's outer shirt and started pushing his undershirt off while Naruto kissed him passionately. Naruto pulled back and Sasuke pulled his shirt off and then nuzzled his neck again kissing it and biting softly. The doorbell rang and Naruto moaned at the same time before they froze and groaned.
"This is so unfair…why now?" Naruto asked getting a shrug from Sasuke as the blond got up to answer the door. He opened it and was surprised who was there.
"Sakura?"
