Beautiful Music

Sasuke walked down the hall heading towards the music room, a place that he could be alone and play his cello. Yes, you read correctly, Sasuke is a cellist, and an extremely talented cellist at that. But of course he was the only one who knew of his extraordinary talent. If anyone was to find out… he'd never be left alone. And this may come as a shock to you but Sasuke likes his alone time."NEVER. EVER. ALONE" was all he thought before he turned to his cello to drown his sorrows.

He was always afraid of being caught playing so he hadn't played in days. Three to be exact, and might I add that was much too long for Sasuke to be away from his cello. He knew he would be alone today because the Konoha School of Arts (K.S.A) orchestra was performing and the rest of the school was watching the performance, leaving the music room open for him and his cello.

Sasuke neared the music room and realized that he wasn't the only talented musician who had ditched the assembly to be alone and play. He heard a piece that he recognized, not for cello but piano. It was played so magnificently. It was Pachelbel's Canon. He'd never noticed before but the piece sounded like lovers speaking to one another, confessing their undying love to each other. As he approached the glass door he looked in to see a blonde none other than our very own Uzumaki Naruto. Sasuke's first and only thought was: The dobe can play the piano?! Sasuke reached for the handle but his hand froze mere millimeters from the handle, and he decided to just sit in the hall and listen to the blonde play.

The blonde, still playing Canon in D, had closed his eyes and let his hands see the music and let his ears guide his hands fluidly over the keys. Every thirty seconds Sasuke caught himself looking through the glass at the blonde. When this happened, he shook himself and turned away. After hearing the blonde's variations of Canon in D, Waltzing Matilda, Ode to Joy, Beethoven's Ninth, and a few other pieces that he didn't recognize, Sasuke realized he had fallen in love…with the piano not the dobe! Ew. How could you even think that?! Sasuke sat in a daze, not even realizing that the music had stopped and by the sound of things papers were being stuffed into a book bag. Steps were taken toward the door, the handle was turned. Sasuke and Naruto both jumped at the sight of each other but Sasuke quickly returned to his emotionless cover that would suit only an Uchiha.

"Shit! Sasuke! How long have you been here?!"

"Long enough to know that you're an amazing piano player," Sasuke said coolly in reply.

"Shut up you, ketsunoana!" Naruto yelled, as he ran out the nearest school exit.

Sasuke thought, What the hell was that about?! I compliment him… and he insults me. I am confused. Sasuke looked at his watch. Shit, I am so screwed! I was supposed to be home an hour ago!
