The "Cree" sound from the cicadas was the only thing that could be heard in the village of Konaha since most of the village's occupants were either inside their homes trying to hide from the heat or were in school. It was ungodly hot for October, but it wasn't something the members of the leaf village couldn't get used to. Naruto was sitting in his class groaning quietly to himself dreading the heat. Why did it have to be so damn hot that day he thought along with the rest of his class. Their teacher, Umino Iruka, was just as sluggish as the rest of them knowing most of them would rather be asleep instead of in their class.
Shutting his book he looked to his class and smiled to them. Most of them were concerned their teacher lost it until he opened his mouth to tell them that for the rest of his class, they could sit and chat quietly so they weren't too bored. It would be easier teaching them something if they paid attention rather than if they didn't pay any attention to him.
Naruto nearly fell out of his seat he was so happy. Looking back to his friends he started to talk to them and they all laughed at jokes the others made. Occasionally the blonde would look over to a raven haired male that sat about three seats away from him. The boy was Sasuke Uchiha, the heart throb of the school. Sadly he was a real player and would flirt with any of the girls no matter who it was.
Unknowing to the Uchiha, Naruto had a major crush on him and he was dying to tell him. But he knew that either he would reject him completely, or he would play with his feelings. Shaking his head he went back to talking with his group and laughed with them.
After Iruka Sensei's class, school ended for the students. Naruto waved to his friends before turning away from them to run home, excited because his parents were home from their business meeting in Sunagakure. Running into his home he smiled seeing his mom coming out of her room while taking her hair down from the pony tail it was in and she smiled to her son.
"Naruto, how have you been sweetie? Have you been eating properly?" The woman asked before walking over to him to kiss the seventeen year olds forehead. He laughed and nodded looking to her before looking around her to see if he could find his father. Frowning at the fact that he hadn't seen his dad, he looked to his mother.
"Where's dad?" he asked quizzically hoping the woman would have the answer.
"He's taking a shower, our hotel only had enough water for one shower a day and since I take longer he allowed me to shower most of the time we were there." She said giggling before leading her son into the living room.
"So how has school been?" she asked, getting some drinks and snacks for her husband and her son.
"It's been good, was pretty boring today, not to mention ungodly hot." He admitted reaching for the glass of lemonade that his mother had set on the table. Taking a sip of the tangy drink he purred at the sweet after taste for the drink and took another sip.
"So how are things doing with you and Hinata-chan?" his mother asked looking to him smiling. He looked to her and smiled slightly.
"Things are… doing well. We've both been busy with practice and such so we don't see each other very often." He admitted hoping his mother wouldn't question things between him and the girl even more. It was awkward that every time they did hang out that her over protective cousin was always there. What made it worse what that her cousin, Neji Huyuuga, was very openly gay and would flirt with him whenever Hinata wasn't around.
After about an hour or so his dad finally came out of his room and looked to Naruto and smiled brightly. Minato was always very proud of his son, no matter what it was he did. But recently it was for his great grades and him doing so well in soccer. Walking over to the boy he covered the beautiful blue orbs with his hands and chuckled.
"Guess who~" he said in a sing song voice before pulling his hands away to put a gift in front of the boy who was currently working on his homework. Naruto looked to the gift then back to his dad curiously; he still had a week until his birthday, why was he getting things now?
"It's from Gaara, the owner of Suna Corps' son. He wanted to make sure his gift got to you before your birthday. Go on open it." He said smiling looking to his son with endearing eyes. Nodding slowly Naruto opened the package and was slightly shocked to see a new pair of soccer shoes and he smiled brightly pulling them out. They were a high quality pair of shoe and they were very expensive. Looking to his parents he showed them and they were partially shocked but they were happy for him none the less.
After they all had dinner and Naruto had a bath, they all retired to their own rooms and got ready for bed. Naruto wasn't about to go to bed yet however. He wanted to make Gaara a thank you card, one that was special and sincere. He couldn't think of what to write though and he started to pace back and forth in his room trying hard to think what would be appropriate. After giving up the blond yawned and turned his lights off and laid down on his bed. Getting comfortable he smiled and slowly drifted off into a peaceful slumber. Awaiting his dreams he kept a smile on his face until he finally went to sleep and was off to dream land.
