(Note from the Author: Here it is! The Halloween special I've decided to write as a thank you for the 1000 views that my story Happy got! (Which made me so happy! Haha, Happy made me happy.) This story is super late. That's all I'll say about that, and in the middle of writing this I decided to break it up into chapters. Duno how many, just chapters. If it doesn't make sense.. uhhh oops. Aaaanyways, thank you so so much everyone! Hey, maybe I should change my name to 'SasuNarulover3572' because I seriously write and get so many ideas and inspiration for this ship, actually it sucks because I pay no attention to other ships (sorry Shizaya, KanaZero, ShikiTaku I love you.. but SasuNaru though. *insert lovestruck face here*) I feel like I dragged this story on waayyyy to long, so I might redo it in the future, but tell me what you guys think!)

WARNING: THIS STORY CONTAINS SMUT BETWEEN TWO MALES, IT IS AU, AND IT CONTAINS TYPICAL SASUKE ASSHOLERY. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

A Scary Love

Naruto Uzumaki couldn't help but glare at the male across the detention room, he mouthed the words "You asshole," to the victim of the cunning words, Sasuke Uchiha - his lifetime enemy and rival in everything from tests to love, to just height!

Sasuke wanted to ignore the boy, but he couldn't help giving him a monotone look he knew would piss him off, and then sticking up his middle finger. A bewildered expression flew onto the new victim's face; "Why you.." it began in a whisper, "ASSHOLE!" he suddenly burst out. "You want to fight me or something?! Huh, teme?!"

"Naruto!" Their detention teacher shouted, "Watch your mouth, 2 more hours for you! And you write lines! How dare you say such things to Sasuke!"

"But Sensei, he gave me the fing-" Naruto tried to defend himself.

"He did no such thing! Sasuke is not that type of boy!" Naruto shrunk back at the interuption, he couldn't argue with someone who wouldn't listen. He shot Sasuke a glare, but only received a 'just stop trying, loser' smirk that fueled Naruto's anger. Between the biased teacher, the asshole, and the detention, Naruto was about to explode - today was the worst. Day. Ever.

"Sasuke-kun, you may leave. I now realize it was a mistake to include you in this detention when clearly Naruto is the wrong-doer; you may leave." Surprise flashed in the mentioned's eyes but for only a second before he glanced at Naruto. He was sulking, seething, and had no feeling in his eyes all at the same time. The Uchiha grabbed his bag, said his thanks, gave Naruto one last look of.. was it pity? No, couldn't be. He then left.

xXx

2 more hours of detention made him late to going home, not that anyone was waiting for him; the norm for Naruto at this point in his life.

It was now 8 o'clock, Naruto was tired and he had a headache from that stupid love-sick teacher (which was insanely creepy considering it was a student she wanted) barking his head off about how "You need to show more respect to such a high-class man, you, on the lower class of society do not have any right whatsoever to say such terrible things to him!" Was that even legal to say to a student?

It didn't matter, however, because Naruto had heard it all before. Was that teacher new to the school? Naruto knew everything she had stated from his dirty being to the part about being lower-class.

Even though he worked day in and day out to try and get some approval from anyone, it never worked. He was an orphan, unneeded and unwanted by everyone. Not even an animal would want him, apparently. If dead people didn't, why would some dog want him?

So many unanswered questions that only the darkness of his lonely apartment could answer in silence.

"Why had I been born, just to be abandoned? Just to be left all alone, and bullied?"

"Why had I been born, just to be abandoned? Just to be left all alone?"

"Why had I been born, just to be abandoned?"

"..Why had I been born?" he suddenly spoke out to no one.

His parents had died the day he was born; he'd been alone ever since, well, minus his old uncle-man Jiraiya who had taken care of him up until his own death, but it was just to pay for the apartment and make sure he ate.

But now the old man was dead, leaving Naruto truly alone; sure, he was 17 and could pay for the small abode, and he could buy food any time it was needed but the feeling of solitude.. hurt him more than anything.

The night sky had no answer to such futile question, he knew that.

There was no light in his life, but he kept it, or at least tried to keep it in his eyes. He wouldn't let anyone worry or fuss over him. Not that they ever would, but still the thought lingered that one day someone might - but he wouldn't let them.

Everything was terrible - especially Sasuke Uchiha. The name was like venom. Ever since he met that guy, his life took a turn for the worst! He had zero friends to begin with, but now bullying? And all because of that one.. shit-hole day..

xXx

It was the first day of highschool- everyone was gathered in the front, students and teachers alike trying to figure out where to go and what to do. Some were making friends, others ignoring the friendly eye contact being sent their direction. A lone blond boy sat at one of the benches, watching everyone mingle.

Soon enough the bell rang, and everyone filed into the school towards their classes and homerooms.

All except him and another boy, a raven.

Naruto, the blond, had a sad expression plastered onto his face.

Only a few days ago had to be the day that his only family died and left him.

And now he did want to be alone, from everyone just for now.

That also applied to the other boy, so of course Naruto didn't want to speak nor make 'friendly contact' with the boy a few feet away, because he looked so much better than himself, he also wore a calm face while his was marred with liquid from his many tears. So instead he gathered his strength and proceeded to walk up to class, just when the other male got up as well.

"Hey, dobe." Was this directed at the blond?

He immediately bit back "Who're you talking to, teme?" whipping his head to the side only to be met with onyx eyes.

"You, obviously. So you do speak? You've been silent all day." the raven spoke in a 'i'm better than you tone' with every word.

"No shit I speak!" What was this guy's problem? "Leave me alone." Naruto suddenly calmed, finding it unneeded to start a fight today.

"Hn. I'm Sasuke. Sasuke Uchiha, and you are?"

Naruto grumbled. What did he want? "Naruto. Naruto Uzumaki. I didn't ask for your name, just so you know."

"Yeah, I know. I just wanted to talk, yeah? You seemed.. pretty lone-"

"Why are you talking to me? Do you want something, is that it?" Everyone who talked to him always wanted something; money, food, sex.

Sasuke blinked, confused. "Of course not, like I said. I just wanted to talk." They were now walking down the hallway, near the stairs, when Naruto felt a dizzy spell washing over him. When was the last time he had eaten? "Are you okay?" said the taller male.

"I..I'm fine. Just tired." the next second was all a blur. He accidentyally placed his hand on Sasuke's arm and pushed.

And he fell. Right down the stairs.

"Sasuke! I'm so.." at that second everyone had come out of the room hearing a yelp from the halls.

He learned Sasuke was popular.

Just his luck.

xXx

Sasuke was never the one to bully him, but Naruto assumed since that day he'd been angry and sent anyone from fangirls to jocks to harrass him to no end. Sasuke had also stolen the one girl he'd ever felt something for.

And he called him that damn nickname which added fuel to his fire. 'Dobe.' He winced.

"Naruto?" a voice called, an annoyingly familiar voice.

"...Sasuke? What do you want now?" Naruto didn't realize there were tears in his eyes.

"I saw you crying. So I came over here, are you okay?"

'Tears?' Naruto wiped at his eyes, Sasuke would take advantage of this if he got the chance. "I wasn't crying. Its the dirt here, it got in my eye."

A snicker sounded from behind him, and then from the left of him - Sasuke had laughed and was now unwanted company. Where were the charges?

"So you're a bad liar and a dobe? I see." Light laughter came from Sasuke's voice, which pissed Naruto off but also.. relaxed him?

The blond sighed, he was thinking of socking the man beside him, but decided against it; if anyone saw he could be arrested which was the last thing he needed on his list of utter bullshit.

"What do you even want..?" he couldn't help the depression lacing his voice.

Sasuke sat there, staring at him intently. "I'm obviously here to comfort you." Surprise was etched into the blond's face - comfort? From Sasuke? From Sasuke Uchiha?

"B..but.. you! You're partially the reason I'm like this!"

"How so? I don't remember doing anything bad to you, it's always been you coming after me."

Naruto looked flustered and shouted- trying to hold it back; "You're the one who sends your goonies after me! Here I am trying to stick up for myself and get my shit straight but noooo, you've gotta get in the way?"

'Goonies?' Sasuke wondered. "I haven't sent any.. goonies after you, Naruto. Never."

Naruto hesitated, should he trust the words said by his 3 year rival? "Than how do you explain me getting beaten up every other day at lunch? After school? Everytime them saying 'This is for Sasuke!' when all I did was push you, it was an accident! I swear it was!" Tears were now spilling down Naruto's face - he couldn't hold it in anymore.

"I.. never knew." Sasuke had a stern look on his face before getting up and extending his hand. "C'mon, let's go.."

Why was Sasuke being so nice to him? Didn't he hate him? "I don't understand."

Sasuke closed his eyes, "Do you not understand English? I'm saying I'll take you home."

'W..wh.. ' "Why! You hate me!" Sasuke lightly shook before whipping around to glare at Naruto, stomping his foot in anger and clenching his right fist, he grabbed the boy's hand with his left and pulled him up to him just close enough that Sasuke's nose could've touched the clearly shorter boy's forehead.

"I do not hate you! I.. I.." he couldn't say it, so he made an excuse; "I've wanted to be your friend." Sasuke lifted his hand to Naruto's face, whiping the tears from the boys eyes. Both were slightly flushed at the gesture but Sasuke didn't stop. Trying to comfort the blond, he pulled him into a tight embrace. 'I could never hate you..' his heart thought, and so did his mind and every other part of him that wanted to get it out- aside from his mouth.

Sasuke caressed Naruto's back as gently as he could, murmuring cliché lines every now and then, "It'll be okay," or "I'm here." in a lame attempt to calm the shaking male down. The lines sucked, but he meant them wholeheartedly. He'd make it okay, and he was there.

A hiccup sounded from Naruto, telling him he was still crying, but had slowed down gradually. "Sa...Saa-Sas'keeee." The blondie cried and gripped Sasuke's shirt, blowing his nose into it and yet Sasuke couldn't bring himself to mind the mess of snot now residing on his school shirt.

A light, unamused but comforting laugh sounded from Sasuke as he stepped out of the embrace and wrapped his arm around Naruto's shoulder for support.

"What are the directions?" They walked on in the shadow's as Naruto instructed so that no one would see them.

The last thing he wanted to do was embarrass his new, no.. three year friend.

'Thank you'.
