Part 1. Bravery.

"…And that is why every single one of you has to give it your all to do excellent this year, even you, Chouji." The whole class started to laugh.

Yes, even the teachers mocked Chouji for being stupid and funny looking. Sasuke had to agree that Chouji was stupid, but well, funny looking? He would preferably say disgusting. He was so fat, that you could not see his eyes too well.

But this was okay, Sasuke thought to himself, there is no reason to make a fuss over such trivial things. He has other things to think about. This would be the third year the blonde was in his class, and this time, his sky-eyed boy sat right in front of him.

How lucky, he tried to think, even though he had really hoped that Naruto would sit next to him this year.

Oh well, it didn't matter, Sasuke decided, he would just tease goldilocks or a bit. Not that it would satisfy him, but it was definitely fun to see Naruto's somewhat panicked face when Sasuke stroke the blonde's neck with his pen slightly…

"Will you stop it..!" Naruto turned around to show how serious he was.
Sasuke smirked, he knew himself that he was enjoying this way too much, but he could help it. The face Naruto was making was just so satisfying.

The blonde twitched, he was probably startled by Sasuke's look, and turned away quickly, pretending nothing ever happened.

Since Sasuke had very high grades in school, he didn't really have to pay attention in class. So, to not be too bored, he had his plan to tease Naruto. He thought that he would not constantly tease him, but after every, 5, 10, 15, 5 and then 10 again to leave a gap between the last time he used his pen and the time their class would be over. And he would only do that one class a day, choosing which one at random.

It was Friday now, and the teacher thought it was time for some good lecturing.
"I know that your holidays just ended, but this doesn't mean you can slack off. You need to…"
How boring, Sasuke thought, and he wasn't the only one thinking so. The black haired boy could see Shikamaru's typical "How troublesome"-face. He was a smart one, and didn't seem to be bored, like Sasuke, but troubled. Shika didn't like to feel responsible, he just loved freedom about as much as Chouji loved food. Chouji was a fat boy, he was always eating. Even though Shika was his best friend, he would tell Chouji to stop eating his crisps.

The only one telling him to stop was Kiba. His appearance would make anyone think of a wild dog. He thought that speed and fitness were very important and that Chouji should try it too.

Gaara, on the other hand, didn't even bother to pay attention to such nonsense. He was a silent and intimidating boy. He had hair as red as fire and eyes cold as ice. It would even make Sasuke feel uncomfortable once in a while-

The bell rang. It was time for a break.

The boys gathered, like they would always do during breaks.

"That girl in front of me is such a beautiful creature~!" Chouji said happily, his eyes were sparkling.

"Chouji, you know, that girl is only looking at Sasuke. Just like all the other girls…" Kiba said. He sounded slightly jealous of the black haired boy.

"Don't compare her to the others! She is special, I just know it!" Chouji responded. His emotions were unbreakable, just as his body.

"Hey, guys!" Naruto ran to the group. "Have you guys heard of that movie, where that guy fights a tiger in the rain forest?"

The boys looked at Naruto. Naruto looked at the boys with an expression that looked like chouji's when he was talking about girls.

"You really like that kind of movies?" ,Gaara said in a somewhat careless way.

"Yeah, I do. Those are really good! You don't know what you're missing!" The boy defended his taste in films. "But anyway, I was wondering if one of you guys have it on DVD so I can watch it. I really don't have to money to buy it…"

"There is no WAY we could POSSIBLY have it!" Shikamaru shouted mockingly. The group was making sounds of agreement by laughing out loud.

"You guys….", Naruto blushed. He felt insulted, Sasuke could tell. But he didn't have the DVD either. Yet. He suddenly felt like buying a film.

They talked a bit longer, then the bell rung and the break was over.

After school, Sasuke didn't go straight home. He decided to go to the movie store and buy the DVD. Sasuke had a lot of money. This was the first time Sasuke was happy to have money instead of parents.

He went in and realized he didn't know which movie Naruto was talking about. He did mention something about a man fighting a tiger in a rain forest…

Sasuke had been looking for it for over half an hour now, the shop was about to close.

"Can I help you?" An irritated voice jarred from behind.

Sasuke turned around.

"Maybe, I don't know…"

"Just tell me what you're looking for, we're about to close." The voice sounded irritated.

"Hm, I was looking for a movie where a man beats up a tiger in the rain forest." Sasuke said, somewhat nervous. He hoped so badly that the irritated man knew what he was talking about. The black haired didn't even know himself.

"Oh, you mean that new crappy movie? Yeah, we have that one… It's quite expensive since the film is still new… Oh well." He walked to the counter and gave the movie to Sasuke.

"That'll be 20 bucks, please."

Sasuke came home. He just couldn't wait to watch the movie with Naruto.
Naruto would be concentrated on the movie, so that he wouldn't notice that Sasuke was looking at him all the time. And maybe, maybe he could even do something less… subtle…

The boy slapped his face. He wouldn't allow himself to think of perverted things. Besides, he still had to invite Goldilocks over to watch the movie…

Sasuke was nervous, but he really wanted Naruto to come over.

He decided to write a text:

"Hey,

Remember the retard movie you were talking about? I got it.

Sasuke."

Sasuke deleted it. What was he thinking? He was being WAY to honest. It would make Naruto suspicious of Sasuke. The blonde would think that he didn't even like the movie.

He started over

"The movie you were talking about today. I seem to have it.

Sasuke"

It wasn't perfect, but it would do. Sasuke sent it.
Now he was even more nervous than before. The black haired waited for an answer, a response.
He looked at the cover of the DVD. It really did look crappy.

Sasuke got up and inserted the disc into his dvd-player.

Then the phone rang. "O", Sasuke thought, "It's not a text…"
Disappointed, he walked to the phone and answered it.

"Sasuke here, who-"

"YOU REALLY HAVE IT?"

It was Naruto, for sure. Sasuke's heart started to race. He didn't expect Naruto to actually call.

"Yeah, I do, so if you want, you can have it."

Shit, why did Sasuke say he could have it? He wanted watch it together with Naruto, not just give it away in a flash. Damn it.

"Really? I mean, no, I can't just accept it…"

"Well, you could just watch it at my place then."

"Great! Could I come tomorrow? Or is that too sudden? Where do you live? Do I have to bring something?" Naruto sounded enthusiastic.

Naruto could never come too soon or sudden.

"Well, alright then. Tomorrow it is. You don't have to bring anything."

Nice recovery, Sasuke thought to himself. "By the way, I live in an apartment near the station. Railroad 44-A. You can come at noon."

"Okay, then..! See you tomorrow!" Naruto hung up.

Sasuke didn't know how to express this feeling of joy. He couldn't wait for Naruto to come to his place tomorrow.

He lay down and closed his eyes. The sooner he would sleep, the sooner tomorrow would come. Beautiful blonde hair… Eyes as blue as the sky…It was all he could think about until his mind drifted away as he fell to sleep.
