Okay, so I am currently having a really fkd up day/week/month- time, whatever. My writing is being stifled and I'm so stressed out, I feel like I'm gonna explode. So I'm taking steps to ensure I don't go insane from all that by writing a fluffy story. That's right people. When I'm sangry (sad\angry), I write fluff, not angst. Although...who knows if that'll work its way into this fic. Hopefully not.

Warnings: This is Yaoi. MxM. BoyxBoy. SasuNaruSasu. I don't have a preset seme. If you're one of those people who thinks only one of them should be top, then this fic isn't for you. If you're one of those who thinks they should constantly take turns being top, then this isn't for you. Because I have no idea how this is going to turn out...

Cupid Must Be Blind

Chapter o1:

Love Triangle! Wait...this isn't how it goes!

The blossom haired girl was seated sideways in her chair, affording her a better view of the student behind her. She was the student council president of Konoha High School. With long, beautiful hair, sea foam green eyes, pale skin and brains that may even exceed his own, Sakura Haruno was the perfect girlfriend; she was the pride of the school and the envy of most of the girls. More than half of the boys at the school would agree, if their gazes as they walked down the hall together were any indication.

The classroom was empty, save the two of them; a homemade bento lunch sat between them. It was filled with rice, vegetables, and more than a normal amount of tomato cherries. He didn't know how she found out he loved tomatoes, only that she was astute enough to figure it out and pack extra in the lunches she made for him.

The lilt of her small laugh filled the room, melding with the constant ticking of the clock and the occasional sounds of giggling girls and roughhousing boys that passed by outside in the hallway. It all seemed like background noise to him, though. Even the sound of Sakura's cheery voice was slightly muted in his head.

A breeze snuck past the open window, flirting playfully with Sakura's hair. She mindlessly reached up to tug the flickering strands out of her face, not once pausing in her one-sided conversation with him. But Sasuke's attention was out the window, where the wind was carrying the petals of cherry blossoms and swaying the skirts of a few of the girls outside.

His dark gaze was drawn to a group of students in the middle of the courtyard, easily recognizing the two girls Sakura considered her friends. Ino Yamanaka was the blonde and Hinata Hyuuga was the mousy little brunette who was blushing and hiding behind her.

Ino was yelling at a brown haired boy who looked like some kindergartener had finger painted triangles on his face. He began barking something, his face turning red as a blond began laughing at him. A brunet, hair strung into a ponytail, was shaking his head at the commotion they were causing.

His gaze traveled over the entire group (who were given a wide berth by the other students) before falling back onto the blond haired boy who was now jumping on top of the triangle faced guy; he laughed even as he was roughly shoved off.

"Sasuke?"

Sakura's voice dispelled whatever it was that had him focused on the students outside and a small sigh slipped passed his lips. It was stifling in here. Pushing back his chair, he stood up, slipping his hands into his pocket, and began walking out of the classroom. Behind him, he heard Sakura make a surprised sound and glanced over his shoulder. "I need some fresh air."

Sakura gaped at Sasuke as he walked out. She wasn't sure what was wrong with Sasuke, but she couldn't help but feel as though she might have annoyed him somehow. Especially as of late.

"Man, that announcement took for ever!" Kiba, the brown haired boy who'd gotten hell for the awesome new tattoos on his face, complained. Rubbing the back of his stiff neck, he walked down the hall besides his blond best friend and the rest of the student body who'd been stuck back in that auditorium. "That student council president sure can talk."

"Yeah, but she looked hot today!" Naruto, the aforementioned blond best friend, drooled, recalling the lovely Sakura Haruno; her pretty pink hair, her sea green eyes that were made sultry behind her sexy glasses, and her creamy, white skin and pink, luscious lips. Gah, he couldn't help but stare as she spoke! Watching the way her lower lip would pout and how every few minutes, her tongue would gloss across her lower lip in a way that made him-

"Naruto!" Kiba stopped and gave his friend a look, those shaggy eyebrows furrowed suspiciously for a second. "You're thinking of something dirty, aren't you?"

"What? No! I-"

"Naruto!"

The red faced blond turned away, mentally sending up a quick thank you prayer for the interruption. One of the their friends, Shikamaru, was staring at him with that lazy look on his face while he sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. Naruto was sure that it was sore thanks to the way he'd fallen asleep on the uncomfortable chair he was sitting in. "Hey, Shikamaru. What's up?"

Shikamaru barely had the time to open his mouth before he was practically shoved aside by an angry blond who was glaring right at Naruto. She jabbed an angry (and very pointy) finger into his chest, making him cringe as he backed up. Angry girls were scary. It didn't really matter why they were angry because they got angry over everything and if you pointed it out, well, you could just kiss your life good bye. Therefore, he needed to tread carefully. "I-Ino! What's up?"

Ino flipped her long hair over her shoulder and glared behind her pretty (angry) blue eyes. "You." She stabbed him with her nail. "Need to stop-" stab, stab "-being an idiot!"

Naruto blinked as he nursed his chest, rubbing at the stinging sensation left behind by the demon's claws. "What'd I do?"

"What did you do?"

Naruto frowned. Why do girls repeat what their told? He glanced to his friends for help, but Kiba was just grinning at his predicament and Shikamaru was innocently staring out the window. Ino jabbed him again and he yelped. "You fell asleep during the assembly! Your snoring was louder than Shikamaru's! And not only that, you actually have the nerve to whistle at Sakura while she's making a serious speech!"

Naruto smiled sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head. He was guilty on both accounts. "She didn't notice it was-"

"It doesn't matter," she interrupted him. "I know- half the school knows! Kami, even Sasuke knows it was you!"

That took Naruto by surprise. Sasuke Uchiha was the vice president of the student council and the lucky bastard who was dating Sakura-chan. The girl Naruto was in love with since birth! Well, not since birth, but since the moment he'd gotten dirt all over her pretty little dress and she proceeded to get mud all over his pretty little face. Anyway, yeah, Uchiha, he was a dick. Everyone thought so.

"You're so lucky Sasuke's so nice, otherwise he would have pounded your face in!"

Okay, so maybe not everyone.

Naruto pouted and crossed his arms, turning away from her. "I don't get why she's with that nerd anyway. He doesn't even talk much. Is he mute or something?" Naruto cried out as Ino smacked him hard behind his head. The students around them laughed at him.

"He was talking during the assembly," Shikamaru pointed out, stifling a yawn and waving to a student across the hall.

"What, when?!"

"While you were drooling down to your neck in your sleep," Kiba laughed, reaching out to pull the collar of Naruto's blue uniform down. "See! It's all wet here!"

"Eww!" Ino gave them disgusted looks while Naruto shoved Kiba away and growled at him. Ino shook her head and sighed. "Why the hell do I even bother talking to you idiots?"

Sakura stood at the school's front gate. She was waiting patiently for Sasuke so that they could go on their date today. It wasn't often that they had time for things like this since they were so busy, so Sakura always treasured these moments the most. Both she and Sasuke had been dating since the start of junior high. They rarely had any problems, even if Sasuke had been a bit distracted recently. They were really meant for each other.

The thought made a fond smile tug at her lips as a breeze brushed her hair into her face. As soft fingers reached up to keep strands from her eyes, Sakura heard someone calling out to her. She lifted her gaze to see the boy who was currently racing towards her. With his arms flailing this way and that, the boy looked less like a human and more like some freaky hybrid that was preparing to take flight.

The tender smile turned into a grimace. For as long as Sakura had known him, Naruto Uzumaki had always been diligently chasing after her. The guy didn't understand the word 'no' very well. It wasn't that she didn't like him, but, well, she didn't...like him. Not that way. He wasn't ugly or anything like that, but his personality was too brash for her liking.

"Naruto...hi."

He came to a noisy stop in front of her, his big blue eyes wide and excited as he scratched the back of his head. It seemed to be a serious habit of his. That, or dandruff. Worse yet, it might be lice. She stepped back. "Hey, Sakura-chan!"

"What are you doing here so late?" Sakura asked, trying to keep a smile on her face.

"Oh," Naruto's grin turned sheepish. "I sorta had detention...um...Hey, Sakura-chan, were you going home? We can walk together!"

"Actually, Naruto, I-" Sakura jumped as she saw Sasuke approaching and beamed, patting Naruto on the shoulder. She tried to ignore that she almost touched the small, wet stain on his shoulder that she suspected was proof that Naruto spent detention catching up on his sleep. "Sorry, Naruto, I'm not going home. Maybe next time?"

Naruto watched her go with a defeated frown. Despite what his grades said, he wasn't stupid. He knew what 'next time' meant; it meant never. If only Sakura would give him a chance, Naruto was sure he could make her fall for him. He watched as she ran up to the Uchiha, smiling prettily for him while that bastard barely cracked a smile on that cold, ugly, stupid face of his. Naruto mentally imagined walking up to Sasuke, pulling Sakura behind him, and then punching that icy bastard in the face just for thinking he was better than everyone.

And then those dark eyes glanced up and locked onto his.

Naruto tensed, wondering for a second if there was some sort of cloud shaped flat screen floating above his head that was broadcasting Naruto's feelings to the other. When the Uchiha glanced away, however, Naruto realized the guy didn't seemed to want to beat the crap out of him. Just to be sure, though, Naruto glanced above his head...thankfully, he was greeted by the clear blue sky.

The fire detector was going off when the front door opened. There was a loud crash in the kitchen as smoke billowed out into the living room. His sister must be trying to cook again, he realized with a groan. He made a beeline for the stairs. If he was lucky, he could avoid that catastrophe.

When he reached his room, he dropped his bag on the floor and flopped onto his bed with a sigh. Thoughts of Sakura floated into his head and he closed his eyes to better see her face. One day she would be his and Naruto would make her the happiest person alive, he just knew it. Then, that stupid snob-looking Uchiha would have to admit that Naruto was better for Sakura. With a stupid grin on his face, Naruto felt himself dropping off to sleep.

The station was pretty packed with people running this way and that to get to school or work. Sitting on his haunches and waiting for his best friend, Kiba rubbed his eyes and fought off the need for a nap. Because he lived closer than Naruto, Kiba always arrived at the station before him. He kept an eye open for his friend to stumble out of the crowds and allowed himself to be distracted every now and then by the lovely thighs of the female population.

When a couple of nicely shaped legs passed by, he happened to pick up streams of gossip and giggles. The girls apparently went to his school. He realized this, not because of their uniforms, but because of the couple that he- and all of Konoha High School- knew very well.

"Hey," he called out as he stood up. "Can you repeat what you just said?"

Naruto staggered his way out of the train like a corpse, bumping shoulders with others who were walking way too damn close. He didn't even bother to open his eyes fully as he moved to the usual spot where Kiba always waited for him.

Kiba, who was ways too damn loud in the mornings, greeted Naruto with a shit eating grin. "Naruto, did you hear?"

Naruto would have glared at him (he hated riddles in the morning), but he was still half asleep. Clearly, Naruto was not a morning person. So, even if Kiba had just discovered the island where all those dinosaurs chased you around in some camouflage painted car, nothing he said could get Naruto to react.

"Sasuke and Sakura broke up."

Kiba grunted as he was suddenly tugged forward by his shirt, the now fully awake blond was alive and bustling with energy as he practically screamed into Kiba's face. "No way! You mean Sakura's finally single again?!"

Before Kiba even had the chance to regain his breath, Naruto was running off to school. "Hey, wait up!" Kiba yelled, annoyed at being ditched after he had bothered to wait for him. "Damn idiot, he's just going to get shot down again."

"Sakura-chan! Sakura-chan!"

Sakura jumped when the door flew open in the student council room. She turned with wide eyes to face the intruder. "Naruto..." She smiled a bit sadly, a little surprised at how fast the news had spread. "I know what you're planning to ask and the answer is-" like it had always been- "no."

The hopeful smile that had been on his face vanished. "But why?"

Sakura seemed hesitant, eyes darting away from him as her lips parted, but no words came out. Then she grinned and shrugged, eyes dimmed, but back on him."I don't date someone who sleeps in class."

"Uh..." Sakura turned her back to him and Naruto watched as she picked up a stack of papers and began walking towards the other exit in the room. "If you don't like it, then I can change, Sakura-chan. Just give me a chance!"

Sakura smiled and from the distance he could see the tears in her eyes as she shook her head. "I'm sorry Naruto."

"Wait, Sakura!" Naruto ran back out into the hallway towards Sakura, but before he could reach her, he was stopped by a voice he didn't quite recognize.

"Uzumaki."

Ignoring the way he'd practically jumped out of his skin, Naruto slowly turned back to glance at...Oh crap! Had this been a joke? Were Sakura and Sasuke still together?! Would Kiba be that heartless? Sasuke Uchiha sure didn't look too pleased to see him. Damn it, maybe he'd had enough of letting Naruto hit on his girlfriend? Naruto forced himself to laugh, to play it off, but the laugh was strained and sounded awkward as hell. So he tried talking instead.

"H-hey, Uchiha. What's up?"

It seemed to work, the guy turned away!

"I want to talk to you."

Never mind.

They were on the roof.

For some reason, that kept repeating itself inside Naruto's head. They were on the roof. (The most isolated place in school.) They were on the roof. (No one would hear him scream.) They were on the roof. (The bastard was going to push him down because they were on. the freaking. ROOF!)

"Let's go out."

"Eh..." Naruto shuffled his feet, scratching his cheek as he forced his gaze away from the edge of the roof top and back to his soon to be murderer. "What...do you mean? We are out." Was he blind?

Naruto watched as the dark eyes on the solemn face narrowed a little. He didn't look like he was pissed though, and, also...there was a strange tint on his face...like he was...sick?

"No," Sasuke clarified, clearing his throat a little. He was looking at Naruto anymore. "I mean, let's go out on a date."

Naruto blinked. "….like a group date?" He'd never been to one of those before...

Sasuke's eyebrow twitched and he glared a little at the blond who was looking at him with so much confusion, you'd think someone was trying to explain quantum physics to him. Or algebra. Or how to tie his shoes. "Are you an idiot?"

"Wait, you mean you..." Naruto pointed at the raven, then to himself. "And...me...?!" Naruto didn't shriek like some girl. He'd kill anyone if they said he had, but he did let out a startled, very manly yelp as comprehension finally dawned on him.

"Exactly."

Sasuke Uchiha didn't look to be joking and Naruto found himself thinking that maybe he was better off with the idea that the Uchiha brought him up here to just throw him off the roof.

"Well? What's your answer?" Sasuke prompted him, his face a soft shade of red.

Maybe Naruto should save Sasuke the trouble and jump off the roof himself...

please don't hate me for posting a new story... =)
