An "F" in Love
Naruto was daydreaming again. He couldn't wait until he graduated. The day his life truly began. The day he would confess to the teme he adored so much. He would prove that he wasn't a dobe. The bell rang, jolting Naruto from his daze. "Kuso!" he cursed quietly. His test sat in front of him with only 2 of the 50 questions answered. His sensei took it despite all of his protests. Naruto skulked out of the classroom. As much as he liked that damn raven haired boy he utterly hated him for constantly being in his head. And unbeknownst to the blond, said raven was having similar problems.
Sasuke went into the cafeteria in one of his 'moods'. "Hiya Sasuke!" The one voice he could not stand to hear at that moment rang shrilly in his ears. He glared at the blond on the other side of the counter. It didn't seem to faze the grinning boy in the least. "So what will you have today?" Sasuke rolled his eyes. "My usual dobe" Naruto made a pouty face. "Don't you know eating just salad isn't good for you? Get some meat in your system!" If possible, Sasuke's glare deepened. This time, Naruto actually got the hint. He gave an exasperated sigh before handing Sasuke his salad. Sasuke took it and went to pay for it. He then went and sat at a secluded table near the back of the cafeteria that had a convenient view of the serving counter.
As he ate, Sasuke focused on one spot, or rather one person, at the serving counter. The blond smiled at the people he handed food to and Sasuke couldn't help but glare at it. He wished that that smile was directed at him and only him. He didn't have much time left before they graduated. One month to be exact. Sasuke wanted to tell him how he felt but he just didn't know how. No one had ever made him feel the way he felt. It almost scared him but it also fascinated him. How could such a goofy blond guy possibly make him nervous and giddy at the same time? True, he never showed but it was almost overwhelming to keep it bottled up whenever he was near the guy! The bell signaling the end of lunch rang and Sasuke dumped his half eaten salad in the trash.
The next class he had was the 1st of 2 classes that he had with the blond. P.E. and English. Sasuke headed for the boys' locker room. As per usual, Naruto caught up to him as he walked through the halls. "What's up Ice Prince?" Sasuke scowled at the nickname. "I told you not to call me that," Sasuke said coldly. Naruto just laughed. "But it suits you! You always act so cold but you look so cool. It's a fitting name." Sasuke blinked. Naruto thought he looked cool? Well, it isn't anything to get all excited over. He probably just admired him as a model student or something. "Whatever" he grumbled as they entered the changing room. They went to their lockers, which happen to be right neighbors, and proceeded to change. Unbeknownst to each other, they took furtive side glances at the other when they thought he wasn't looking. They had no idea that they shared the same feelings and also feared rejection. Even so they entered the gym without a hitch. It was basketball Friday and it was shirts against skins. Sasuke was a skin and Naruto a shirt.
Naruto's team lost. Normally, Naruto was a great player but today he was a bit distracted. He couldn't help ogling, but discretely, at the body of his crush. If he believed in perfection he knew that Sasuke must be somewhere in the category. He was thin but had smooth muscles accenting his torso beautifully. Naruto barely suppressed a moan of desire when Sasuke removed his shirt. It wasn't that he hadn't seen it before; just not out in the open or in this much light. He felt he was in the presence of an angel. A very forbidden, sexy angel. So his team lost because of that damn teme! He felt so frustrated yet strangely sated.
English was the last period of the day and so naturally anyone would just want to relax. Unfortunately, Sasuke and Naruto's English sensei was a no-nonsense type of sensei. Ms. Tsunade wrote their assignment on the board. "Now, this essay should be typed and ready to be turned in on Monday. No exceptions!" Naruto groaned. Great. A 5-paged essay on a book that he didn't even read. Hopefully it had a movie so he could just watch it instead. Sasuke took a chanced glance at Naruto. He smirked as he saw the almost distressed look on the blonde's face as he read the assignment. Sasuke was sure that the dobe didn't read the book. Tsunade started up her lecture for the day. Sasuke only paid half a mind as he began to do an outline for his essay. Naruto hid slightly behind the person in front of him with the assigned book opened so that he could at least read the first chapter before the end of class.
Finally, the bell rang. Naruto all but jumped out of his seat and dashed from the room. Sasuke couldn't blame him. Tsunade's lectures were absolute torture! Sasuke gathered his things and left the classroom. It was getting warmer outside as June rolled near. Graduation loomed ever closer. Naruto stood waiting for his friend outside of the door. "Man, can that old hag talk or what!" Naruto stated as he fell into step beside Sasuke. "Hn," came the reply. "Hey, Sasuke, wanna come over to my house? My mom's visiting a sick aunt and my dad's at the office 'til late. We'll have the whole house to ourselves." Sasuke's perfect mask almost shattered as thoughts of what could possibly happen between him and Naruto in a house all alone flooded his mind. He quickly regained all composure and simply shrugged his shoulders. "Sure, why not? We can get started on our essays as well." Homework was the farthest thing on Naruto's mind as he smiled happily and he and Sasuke made their way to his house.
*Oh, what could possibly happen here? I actually started this story on my phone. XD I sent message from my phone to my e-mail because I was bored and this is what I came up with. Tell me what you think! ^_^*
