Summary: In high school there is one thing that saves you from the homework, the teachers, the parents, and most importantly the potential and current heartbreak. And that is – your friends. So, what happens when all of you start to like each other?
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Naruto entered the classroom and walked to his seat. He sat down, looking at Gaara who sat next to him. Gaara stared at him a moment, before looking ahead.
"You're on time." he commented. Naruto laughed, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.
"Yup! Iruka-sensei woke me up early.. I had nothing else to do but to come to school. "Naruto replied, making Gaara grunt. Naruto grinned shyly at him and then leaned back in the chair.
"And I'm actually early." Naruto added proudly.
"You're so amazingly talented." Gaara said boredly as he started to take out his books.
"I am!" Naruto grinned, then suddenly frowned. "Where's my stuff? CRAP! I left my bag at home!" he groaned, slamming his head down onto the desk. Gaara rolled his eyes while the boy sitting behind Naruto snickered.
"Of course, only you could do that.. dobe." Sasuke smirked, his head tilted down towards the papers in front of him, but his eyes were watching Naruto. Naruto immediately lifted his head and turned in his seat to glare at Sasuke.
"Whatever, Sasuke-teme! Can't you go one day without making fun of me?" Naruto growled out. One hand gripped his own desk and the other gripped the back of his chair tightly. A voice interrupted them.
"You're on time, Naruto?" the beautiful boy in the doorway asked, a faint surprised look on his face; the best you could get out of the boy. He flipped some of his long brown hair behind his shoulder as he walked forward to sit in his seat behind Gaara and beside Sasuke. "I'm surprised, and pleased." This made the blonde-headed boy grin.
"Yeah, Iru-!"
"He forgot his bag at home." Gaara told Neji dully, having watched the other boy walk in. Naruto scowled, before he pouted.
"He was pleased with me, Gaara! Why'd you have to ruin that?" Naruto whined, which made Gaara just snort.
"Naruto... you get here early, and yet you leave all of your necessary things at home." Neji shook his head and gave a long sigh.
"Guess we'll just have to work on you a bit slower than normal people, since you have such a small mind." Sasuke teased, his gaze going back to the paper he was working on. Neji ignored the mean comment, when normal he would say something about Sasuke's rudeness. He looked at Sasuke curiously.
"What are you working on?" he asked him. Sasuke's head shot up and he covered the papers.
"Nothing!" he smiled a little too innocently at him. Naruto blinked at this and tugged the papers out from under the clothed arms that covered it. He was immediately attacked by Sasuke, who desperately reached for the papers.
"GIVE THEM BACK, NARUTO!" he yelled, looking furious and at the same time... afraid?
Naruto pushed him away and ran off with the papers, grinning wildly as he looked at the picture that was certainly well drawn neatly onto the paper. Beautiful blue eyes. Spiky blonde hair. It was him. He lay sprawled across a proud Neji's lap who sat on a park bench, his lower body and legs resting easily on Sasuke's lap, who also sat on the bench. This Sasuke looked annoyed, but mostly happy as he watched the laughing Naruto. Gaara sat in front of them, emotionless besides a small smile on his face and a book in his hands as he leaned against the bench, between Neji and Sasuke's legs. Neji sat with an arm across of the back of the bench and behind Sasuke, watching the sky as a bird flew overhead. There was a sunset in the background, the four of them sitting under a tree that gave off cherry blossom petals because of the season.
"Wow.." Naruto mumbled, completely stopping where he was. Sasuke took this chance to quickly grab the picture from him and put it in his bag so the others two couldn't see.
"Stupid Naruto." he growled, plopping back into his seat.
"Sasuke!" Naruto didn't seem to have heard that. "That was an amazing picture! I didn't know you could draw!" he ran over to Sasuke's desk again, grinning madly. Neji blinked and Gaara looked at Sasuke emotionlessly.
"I've seen him drawing before, but he'll never let me see." Gaara commented easily.
"Really? Why won't you show us, Sasuke?" Neji asked politely.
"Because, now shove off!" Sasuke crossed his arms, glaring at the desk.
"But Sasu-" The bell rang, making Naruto jump and sit in his seat.
Neji continued to watch Sasuke as students started to file in to the classroom. He looked down at the other boy's backpack, frowning at his own interest in what was on that paper. He looked away silently and started to look over his papers.
"Sakura didn't come to the council meeting this morning.. Have you three seen her?" he asked them, a bit randomly. He seemed to be annoyed that Sakura had not been there, but no one could blame him. She had missed 2 meetings and she was the vice-president. They needed her and every meeting was important, since they only got to meet a couple of times a month.
"Nope, not at all. Sorry Neji." Naruto replied, looking back at him, since he sat in the seat diagonal from himself.
"I saw her with Ino in the bathroom earlier." Gaara said monotonously. Everyone took a bit to register that.
"How did YOU.. see them in the bathroom?" Naruto asked, giving the boy next to him an extremely confused look. Sasuke snorted when Gaara shrugged, not looking at them.
"We all know that Gaara has his weird ways." Sasuke said.
Gaara directed a death glare at Sasuke. "You know from experience, don't you… Sa-su-chan?" he said Sasuke's name in different syllables, though his voice still emotionless.
Sasuke blushed deeply. "You said you'd never tell!"
"And I haven't." Gaara replied easily, looking back at the front. Neji and Naruto both stared at Sasuke, almost looking horrified.
"Eh… Sasu-chan?" Naruto asked him, raising an eyebrow. Gaara got a small smug smirk on his face as he watched Sasuke sink into his seat from the corner of his eye.
"What do your weird ways have to do with the name Sasu-chan, Gaara?" Neji asked calmly, sitting straight in his chair.
"Ask Sasu-chan." Gaara replied simply.
"Stop saying that!" Sasuke yelled, pulling his hood up over his head to shadow his blushing face better. Naruto suddenly smirked.
"Sasu-chan." He said mockingly. Sasuke made a loud groaning noise as he banged his head against his desk. Neji chuckled lightly, covering his mouth with his hand to stifle it. All this made Gaara's smirk grow ever bigger.
None of them really noticed that everyone was watching them. They didn't notice the principal come in because the teacher was sick. They didn't notice her smiling as she watched them, until she called the class to attention.
Neji sighed, listening to the teacher drone on about the 'baby' project. They were to take a baby home, but only for the weekend, and take care of it. He hadn't really wanted to take this class, but it was an easy A, except for this new project. It was worth 200 points, which was a lot of your grade; since the most points an assignment had been so far was 30 in all. And that happened to be a test.
But, Neji would do this project and he would do it very well. It may be boring, but hopefully not extremely hard, because he had not chosen to work with a partner like everyone else in the class. For one, there was an uneven number, and another reason was because he had no friends he would like to work with. Yes, no friends whatsoever… this made the class incredibly boring, especially since he had Naruto in every single one of his other classes. Imagine the change.
He prided himself on his grades in school, which were all A's and made him have a perfect 4.0 GPA. But, he had no pride in his… parenting skills. He personally hated kids. Good thing Hinata (his younger cousin) was the one who pretty much had to raise Hinabi (his youngest cousin), because he sure as hell couldn't have.
The teacher went about passing out babies to the kids, all in partners, so she waited until last to call Neji's name.
"Don't worry Neji, it won't be hard for you... with the grades you get, there's no way!" she tried making a sad joke.
"Of course, Ma'am." Neji responded in a monotone, taking his baby from her. He stared at it wearily as he walked back to his desk. Don't worry. Indeed.
Naruto's stomach growled loudly, making him blush lightly. Sasuke glared at him, before looking back at the papers in his lap. Naruto pouted, frowning as he leaned on Sasuke's shoulder.
"Not my fault I'm hungry...," he whispered. He flipped his shoes off and pulled his legs onto the couch beside him.
"You're always hungry, dobe." Sasuke whispered back. Naruto just stuck his tongue out at the other boy, sighing loudly. Sasuke smiled to himself, glancing at the Biology book on the other side of him and filling out the paper. They sat in their Seminar, Sasuke actually working on homework and Naruto bothering Sasuke quietly.
"And you wonder why you have such bad grades and the teachers hate you." Sasuke sighed, putting the finished paper in his Biology notebook. Naruto gasped.
"I'm insulted! At least I HAVE a life and don't spend every moment doing homework and every moment not spent on homework, doing extra credit for classes I have a 98 in." Naruto mocked.
"It keeps my grades up! What if I got a bad score all of a sudden? And honestly… if you have an A, then you don't have to worry about Finals at the end of the semester. I think that's something I want to work for."
Naruto blinked and sat staring at him. "Really? I didn't know that!" Naruto exclaimed. This made Sasuke roll his eyes.
"Every single one of the teachers told us that on the first day. Couldn't pay attention to just one of them?"
"…Hmmmm… nope." Naruto grinned.
Sasuke sighed, shaking his head. He flipped the page of his book and wrote some information down on paper. Naruto sat just observing him for once.
"Sasuke… could you tutor me?" Naruto mumbled. Sasuke's head whipped around to look at him. "What?"
"Could you tutor me?" Naruto repeated shyly. Sasuke stared at him in astonishment. Naruto actually wanted to do well in school? Enough to be tutored by Sasuke (the person who supposedly hated him the most)?
"Yeah... yeah, I guess so." Sasuke responded, looking down at his book with a confused expression.
"Thank you SO much, Sasu-chan!" Naruto grinned happily.
"I won't if you call me that!" Sasuke yelled angrily at him. Naruto giggled as everyone in the classroom shushed him loudly. Sasuke sunk into the couch, blushing darkly. Naruto just happily laid his head back on Sasuke's shoulder, his stomach making a faint groaning noise.
Everyone turned their head to a faint sound that came from the bench the famous four always sat at. What was it? Probably Naruto doing something weird again, each of them thought. But that is when the noise got louder and they all realized it was the crying of a baby.
Neji glared at the fake baby with pure hatred in his eyes. He had tried everything, from rocking him to burping him, even changing the thing's diaper! He just kept crying and crying…. And it was only the first day!
Gaara raised an eyebrow at Neji as he came and sat next to him, wincing at the cries from the baby.
"It won't stop!" Neji sighed loudly, a hint of desperation in his voice.
"What is that horrible noise?" Naruto came running up to them, Sasuke walking behind him at his own leisurely pace with his hands stuffed into his pockets. Naruto stopped short, staring apprehensively at the baby. "What is it?"
"It's my project for my Parenting class. It won't stop… I don't know what to do, nothing that we studied before is working!" Neji explained, exasperated.
"It can't be that hard, let me see it!" Naruto picked the baby up, grinning at it. "Hey you!" he set it on his hip, lightly bouncing him. Soon the crying stopped and giggling came from it.
"I have to say, it's a creepy looking baby, but it looks kind of real. It's a him right… or can you tell?" Naruto asked, looking at Neji.
"Yeah… look in the diaper. It's quite obvious." Neji mumbled, watching Naruto with his baby. Sasuke had sat down beside Gaara and watched Naruto, just as Gaara was too.
Naruto twirled the baby gently in the air, talking baby talk with it.
"Naruto can even make a fake baby happy." Gaara said, shaking his head.
"Yeah, he's a natural mother." Sasuke said loudly so Naruto could hear, a smirk on his face. Naruto stopped abruptly, glaring at Sasuke.
"Hey asshole! That is NOT funny!" Naruto yelled.
"Would Neji be the dad then?" Gaara asked inconspicuously. Neji quickly turned to Gaara and glared at him darkly.
"What?" he stressed. Sasuke felt a surge of jealousy run through him and he didn't even laugh at the comment. He sunk into the bench, frowning to himself. As he watched Neji bicker about never being a father and Naruto at least being the father of the baby, he wondering which one he was jealous of.
A/N: Awwwww, Gaara's all alone! Don't worry, he'll find his way in some more later.
