So, I feel a little bad that it's been two weeks and I haven't updated my multi-chaptered story but I'm going through a busy time and suffering from a little writer's block. So I decided to put up this short thing to kinda sorta make up for it. It's not the same, but, it's still a story from me and hopefully I'll get back to writing the other fic soon.
For those of you that don't know what I'm talking about, great. You can just read this and be happy.
I don't own Naruto. Or the title. And yes, I do know that The Lying Game is a tv show. I've never seen it. So don't sue me for using the title.
The Lying Game
I grin and punch Kiba playfully on the arm. "That was great! Did you see his face?"
~You don't know me~
"It was priceless!" He pauses to eye a girl in a short skirt walking by, whistling in approval. She flips him the bird and he shakes his head, turning back to me with a grin of his own.
~You don't know me at all~
"Did you hear about the party tonight?"
~You only see my mask~
"It's at Neji's, right?"
~You only know what the lies tell you~
"Yeah. It's going to be awesome! Think of all the chicks!" He puts an arm around my shoulder. "That cousin of his is cute."
~You'll only hear what you want to hear~
I shrug. "She's cute, but that's not my type."
~You'll never believe who I really am~
He nudges me with his elbow as Sakura walks by, shorts short and heels clacking on the ground. "What about that type?"
~You'll think I'm lying~
"Hell yeah," are the words out of my mouth. "Hey Sakura, you going to the party?"
~But I'm lying to you now~
"Not with you," she answers, flipping her hair and strutting off.
~All I do is lie~
We're sitting in the cafeteria with Gaara and Shikamaru and somehow we get to playing, "Who Would You Rather Do?"
~I am composed of lies~
"Sakura or Ino, Gaara?"
~But there was one time…~
"Sakura." But Gaara hates them both.
~One time…~
"Naruto! Sakura or Sasuke?"
~The truth~
I'm distracted, lost in thought, and what spills from my lips is, "Sasuke."
~The truth is…~
"Dude, what?"
~I'm gay~
I blink, confused, and turn to face Kiba. "Sakura."
~And breaking inside~
"Dude, it sounded like you said Sasuke!" He laughs but it isn't funny. Not to anyone.
~I'm built on my lies~
"Why would I say Sasuke? In case you haven't noticed, Sasuke is a male. And I'm not gay."
~And they're eating away at me~
"Dude, don't ask me why you'd say his name. I suppose he's cute but," Kiba shrugs, "he's not my type."
~It's like suffocating~
"I thought your type was anything that moved." That remark comes from Shikamaru, who has his head down on the table.
~You know you're dying but you're too weak to save yourself~
"Ha ha. Very funny." Kiba shoves Shikamaru out of his seat just as Sasuke walks in.
~Time slows as you try to cling to life~
"It's your boyfriend," Kiba jokes, grinning. He'll never let this go. Never.
~Everything around you disappears~
Sasuke walks right on by, but I know he hears. Kiba's loud.
~All you see is the person strangling you~
Kiba laughs as I bury my face in my hands.
~And you hope it isn't someone you love~
The bathroom is quiet and lonely. That's why I go there. No one will bother me.
~If it is…~
I stare at myself in the mirror and wonder what people see when they look at me. What do my lies look like?
~All you feel is hurt~
The door opens and there he is, smirking.
~And betrayal~
"So I'm your boyfriend now, am I?" He moves towards me, towers over me as my back hits the wall.
~Your heart breaks~
"No," I say, louder than I meant to. I'm nervous, scared, and this can't be happening. "You're not my anything."
~But the really bad thing about lies~
He leans down, breath warm on my face. "Don't be like this."
~Is that you'll always go back to them~
"Don't tell me how to be!" I raise a hand to push him away and he grabs it, intertwining our fingers.
~Because you can't escape~
His other hand moves to touch my cheek and then he's kissing me, tongue sliding into my mouth.
~Even if the door is right in front of you~
I push him away. "What the hell, Sasuke?"
~And you die a little more inside~
"Naruto," he murmurs, "you can't hide from me."
~Until there's nothing living left~
"You don't know me!" I yell. "You don't know me!"
~And then you're…~
He gives me a pitying look and then leaves. The sound of the door closing echoes.
~s h a t t e r e d~
I bury my face in my hands.
