Naruto: A 100 Theme Challenge Love Story

Summary: 100 short-to-medium sized stories/drabbles centered around my favorite pairing, SasuNaru, and – possibly – other Naruto yaoi pairings. From Caenai-Gyoesari's Writers 100 Theme Challenge on deviantART.

A/N: Okay, so, I was totally inspired by Sakana-san (you are AWESOME, Sa-chan!) to do this challenge, because she's doing the challenge on Bard and Finny from Kuroshitsuji. She's the one who told me about the challenge and at first I thought, "There's no way I could ever do that!" But after browsing dA for the challenge, I decided to do it. I found a few of them, and I'm thinking about doing them all, but on different pairings. But, that might take a while. So, for now, I'll do it on Sasuke and Naruto from, obviously, Naruto. And thank you so much, Sa-chan – if you don't mind me calling you that – for inspiring me, even if you don't read this! :D

And another thanks to my very good friend, ItachiFanGirl24, aka Wina, because if I don't mention her in here, she'll be mad. xD I'm kidding, Wina. I love you. :3

These themes come from Caenai-Gyoesari's Writers 100 Theme Challenge on deviantART. I might use 's 'random generator' to get different challenges every time, instead of going in order.

Warning: For now, there is no warning... For now.

Disclaimer: I do not, in any way, own Naruto. Kishi does, and, for that, I envy him.

1.) Introduction

I'll never forget the first time I saw him. The first time I saw his smile.

We were in a small gourmet coffee shop that I came to every once in a while. I remember thinking about how it must have been fate that put me in the coffee shop that day. Instead of ordering my usual vanilla bean frappuccino like I had intended to, I sat down at the nearest, unoccupied table and watched him.

He was reading a book. I couldn't read the title of it from where I was sitting, but the colors on the cover looked familiar. He, also, had a drink in front of him. It was in a plastic to-go cup, but all I could see was that the drink was white. I sat there, watching him, for a few minutes. I wanted to see if he was with someone, or if he was meeting someone, but after a few more minutes, he was still alone.

When he put down his book and grabbed his cellphone out from his pocket, I looked away, afraid that he would notice me staring at him. Then, I heard a soft sigh and the sound of his phone closing. I looked back at him, watching him take swig of his drink from its straw. He grabbed his book and marked his place with a napkin. He stretched out his arms. He was leaving.

That's when I quickly got up – almost tripping in the process – and calmly walked over to him. He was just about to get up from his seat when he saw me coming towards him. He stopped, still seated in his chair.

I stuck my hand out and I introduced myself. "I'm Sasuke. Uchiha Sasuke."

He looked confused, his bright, blue eyes blinking at my hand. Then, he realized what I was doing. He smiled – oh, god, I loved his smile – and shook my hand. "Uzumaki Naruto."

I studied his facial features, taking in as much as I could without staring too long. He had golden blond hair, which was spiked up naturally. His tanned skin was smooth and flawless, aside from the three scratch marks he bore on both of his cheeks, causing him to resemble a cat. His eyes – so beautifully blue that they could put the sky to shame – looked into mine, as if they were searching deep into my soul. And his smile. That was what caught my attention instantly. His smile was beautiful. Never, had I ever, seen a smile that breath-taking.

I hadn't realized I was still holding Naruto's hand until he gave it a gently squeeze. I saw a faint blush appear on his face. I glanced down at his table, seeing that he was reading James Patterson's, 'Step on a Crack', one of my personal favorites. Inside his white drink, I spotted small black dots, meaning had been drinking a vanilla bean frappuccino. I grinned inwardly, feeling almost giddy with unknown excitement.

Did I want to let go of his hand? No.

But did I want to stand there, holding his hand, stuck with only an introduction? Definitely not.

No. I wanted more.

I wanted so much more...

Okay. That's it for the first challenge, Introduction. It's not much, and I'm not quite satisfied with it, but it's 3:40am, and I wanna go to bed after I post this. I'm sorry, Sa-chan, if this doesn't meet your expectations. I'm horrible, I know. selected challenge number five, which is Light. Let's see if I can get it up tomorrow or sometime this week. :)
