A/N: I think this is the first chapter of a story completely centered on Random pairings.
I will update at least two of my other stories on Saturday, as soon as I find my composition Notebook...
First pairing: Sasunaru. Sorry, couldn't get this pairing out of my head...\
Naruto sat on the little bridge over looking the river. He was seven years old.
Why do they hate me so much? he asked himself. Everywhere I go the adults look at me, no, they GLARE at me, as if I am something filthy. Something that shouldn't be let anywhere NEAR their precious children. What did I ever do wrong.
He bounced the ball he had found in the street with one hand while resting his head on the other. The ball hit a little bump in the bridge and went bouncing into the river, going slowly past. Unfortunately Naruto did not know how to swim.
Oh well, looks like he'd have to wait until some other idiot left their ball lying abandoned in the middle of the street.
Down River
Uchiha Sasuke was sitting on the dock, the same place his father had "taught" him how to use the Great Fireball Jutsu, when an old red ball came floating into the lake. Most people didn't know it, but everything that was dropped in the little river flowed into the Uchiha lake. Sasuke had a LOT of stuff that he didn't know who it belonged to.
He picked up the ball and examined it. It was too old for his liking, in fact it looked like the ball that idiot Naruto had found in the street the other day.
I wonder if it is the ball the baka found, he thought. Only one way to find out: check out the bridges.
He walked off the dock, the ball under his arm, and out of the haunted, old buildings of his clan.
When he got outside, he began walking to the river and down the little road, looking past every bridge as he went by. Naruto would have to be on one of them. He kept walking, and, eventually, he DID find Naruto on a bridge. He was just staring at the water with both elbows on the bar and his head in his hands. Sasuke would never admit it to anyone, but at that moment, he felt pity for Naruto. He just looked so...lost.
He began walking towards the other boy.
"Hey, dobe, is this your ball?" he asked.
Naruto turned around, shocked. Those were the first words he'd heard out of the Uchiha since the massacre.
"Y-Yeah." he said, still a bit shocked.
Sasuke tossed the ball at him.
"Next time don't lose it." Sasuke said, starting to walk back to the dock.
Naruto looked at the ball, then looked at Sasuke.
"Hey, Teme, do you wanna play with me?" he asked.
Sasuke turned around. He looked at the ball, then at Naruto. That was the first time someone had actually offered to play with him. Before the massacre it was always, "Sasuke-kun's too cute to want to play with us" or "He's probably too rich to want to play with us."
Naruto, of course, just thought that the boy could use a little fun. He was an orphan, he never really had parents, and while it still hurt, it probably didn't hurt as much as having parents, no, an entire clan and then losing them.
"Hn." Sasuke said, walking back to play with Naruto.
The boys spent the rest of the afternoon playing with the ball. Naruto loud and odd as ever, and Sasuke being quiet but smiling.
Nine years later
Sasuke sat in his room at the Oto base. He smiled. That was the first day he realized he loved Naruto.
Sure, he still called him a dobe or a baka, but he still loved him.
They always said a guy never knew when he was in love, and that you couldn't fall in love at such a young age, but Sasuke did.
He didn't really care that Naruto was a guy. It didn't matter.
He said he was going to see his clan rebuilt, he didn't say that he was going to be the one that did it.
Besides, with that demon inside Naruto, who knew? He might actually have kids one day.
A/N: for any of my usual readers, if you can't read it, sorry. But I think it's best to keep an open mind. There's nothing WRONG with it!
Don't worry, there will be some straight pairings and more yaoi to come. Whenever my brain decides to function again.
