Notes: This will basically just be chapters that give a small window into the day to day of Sasuke's life. I plan to make this a series, not sure if people will like this, but it helps pass the time when I'm bored so I'll continue with it.

Sasuke's in the village, the when, how and why's are irrelevant.

Warnings: Everyone is out of character. This is deliberate, I want everyone to behave like normal teenagers. Sue me. Just to put it out there, I don't hate Sai, I think as far as characters go, he's very interesting. Also, there might be mentions of homosexual relationships here and there. Nothing in too much detail. if you're not keen, best not take a peek at this, wouldn't want to upset anyone. Heh.

Sai I

Sai looks like the kind of guy that would suck dick for bus money and then walk home when he's done. There's something about him that always makes the Uchiha think that if he ever saw the other teen in a porno, he wouldn't be surprised. The guy spends way too much of his time reading books about socialising for that to be normal. Add to that his weird relationship with Naruto, then you have a recipe for disaster. Guys who comment on other guys' penises are to be avoided.

Whenever he runs into the pale Shinobi anywhere, he always ensures to make rude comments that will make others uncomfortable around him. He doesn't know why but it has become a habit. So, when he runs into Sai at the flower shop, he doesn't see why he needs to break a long running habit.

"Watch out for this guy, he steals stuff." He says to the blond girl at the till, gesturing toward Sai. The other smiles that odd smile of his, merely ignoring him, as if this has become their way of bonding. Perhaps it has because Sasuke can't help smiling good-naturedly, walking out of the flower shop.

He's not sure why, but Sai irritates him. There's something about a guy who's willing to show off his midriff that unsettles Sasuke. He is firmly of the belief that if guys are going to show off their stomachs, then they should show their chests too. Purely out of principle. There's something fundamentally wrong with showing your stomach if you're male. It's not a rule that anybody else agrees with but he's willing to bribe people into agreeing with him if necessary.

There's something about Sai that strikes him as being innately inane. Perhaps it's the fact that the dobe was better than him, or the fact that, in his opinion, he would never be able to surpass Sakura's intellect but he finds his presence annoying. However, he's mature enough to admit that he judges the other teen harshly because no matter what anybody else says, the teen had been appointed to take his place. And he finds him lacking. Or perhaps he's just jealous because while Sai has no social skills, he has an odd ability to connect with others. While he's not willing to advertise the fact, a part of him envies that.

Review if you like. Don't if you can't be bothered. Do what you want!

By the way, I wrote this rather haphazardly, and didn't edit because I didn't have time so there are undoubtedly a ton of mistakes which should please be ignored.
