I intend for this fanfic to be rated mature, however inappropriate scenes will be relocated and I will give the location at the end of the chapter. If you are currently watching Naruto, I'm happy to inform you, this fanfic doesn't require that you've watched the whole thing, therefore to be clear, NO SPOILERS. This is also SasuNaru- Meaning, a story shipping the relationship between Sasuke and Naruto as more than just friends. If you don't like it, then don't read it. On a final note, this story is based on one I read from 2009 that started out great and then seemed to go downhill due to the author rushing to finish it; I thought the story had great potential, so here I am today rewriting it to make it better. Let me know what your thoughts are and how I could make it better. I'll be posting a new chapter every Monday.Happy reading.

Chapter one: He Never Gives Up

Naruto's POV: Damn it, I did it again. I make challenges that are impossible to win, but I'm just so tired of being called a monster and being made fun of all the time. I need to learn how to keep my mouth shut.

Sasuke's POV: Why can't that idiot just give it a rest. I know Kiba was giving him his daily dose of shit today, but still, don't make a challenge you know you can't win. Now I'm gonna have to hear Kiba brag for the next week.

Kiba is the leading quarterback at our school while Naruto is seen as an outsider who acts like a punk all the time. The routine usually goes like this, Kiba gives Naruto shit for just about everything he does and then Naruto makes challenges we know he can't win. Today, Naruto got the insane notion to challenge Kiba at football; whoever ran, grabbed the ball, and scored first won the challenge. Do you see my drift, Naruto makes this challenge even though he's never played football in his life. I'll give him one thing, he loses all these challenges, but he never gives up. After school Naruto and Kiba met on the football field along with the majority of the school. The challenge was started and quickly finished as another win by Kiba. Oh boy here comes the gloating... again.

"You didn't have a chance anyway, Uzumaki, you could't catch me in a wheelchair."

"What was that, Kiba!"

He's gonna get his ass kicked.

"Go fuck yourself Kiba"

Oh boy here it goes.

"Really Uzumaki, you want to lose another fight today, start it and I'll finish it you fuckin freak."

"You Bastard!"

Here we go.

"Break it up Kiba," A girl with dyed pink hair runs up to him. "You won already, just stop before this gets ugly, It's unnecessary"

Although Sakura annoys me, I'm glad she broke up that fight.

"If he wants to fight, I'm going to fight him Sakura."

"If you throw so much as one punch, I'm not going to your party tonight"

"Come on babe, it would've been funny just to see him get all psycho on me, it would've been funny as hell."

He looks at her for a moment and notes her scowling face.

"Fine, I'll stop, but only for you."

"That's what I thought."

"Fine, whatever." Naruto glances at Sakura then walks off.

Kiba snorts, "It's funny to see him look at something he can't have."

"Oh come on let's go Kiba"

Naruto returns to the bleachers to get his backpack, as some of the school continues giving him shit.

"Did you actually think you could win?"

"Your a monster, why didn't you go psycho and beat him?"

"You're a tough guy now huh?"

I see Naruto ignore them and just walk away. If he wasn't so cocky, he wouldn't get so much crap.

Sasuke's POV Cont.: Naruto always seems to be the go to guy when it comes to giving someone shit. If Kiba's bored, he entertains himself by talking to Naruto and this isn't just Kiba;the majority of the school seems to do this. One thing Kiba and Sakura know as well, is Naruto seems to have a crush on Sakura. Whether that's true or not, I'm not sure, but I do see him looking at her when she's around. They mock his crush for Sakura all the time and it's annoying. What's more annoying is Sakura hangs around Kiba, but then she always flashes me a good view of her panties and tries to strike up conversation with me time and time again. Sakura used to be okay when we were freshman; she was nice, but then she started hanging around Ino just to step up the social ladder and now she probably thinks she has the world at her feet, but man I always feel like bringing her back down to reality would do her some good. I can't deal with her anymore.

I wonder what's for lunch today; sweet, tuna fish sandwiches, I never tire of those.

As I'm looking to see where my table is sitting, I spot Naruto heading down the hallway. I know I've never had much interest in Naruto, because my group always hated him ever since I transferred to this school, I just kind of played along. We're all seniors now and I'm tired of doing the same old shit at lunch, so sometimes I just walk around. Lately I haven't seen Naruto in the lunch room at all; I know because Kiba always comments. Am I gonna be a nosy little shit right now? Yea i think I will. I payed for my sandwich and from there I stealthily followed Naruto to see where he goes now. I might tell Kiba, I might not, I don't really give a shit. Everyone uses Naruto as a stepping stone it seems like, either way, I don't need to step up any more stones.

Sasuke's POV Cont.: Naruto's trail led to the gym, and after he ate his sandwich, he started running laps around the gym, how boring. As he's running I see his glasses look like they're about to fly off; that would make me dizzy. I should just leave now before he notices me watching him, but I have nothing else better to do. As my eyes return to him, his eyes meet mine.

CRAP.

"HEY!You! What're you doing here?" Naruto walks towards me.

Fuck what do I say... "I'm just looking for the gym teachers, but I saw you running and didn't want to interrupt"

"Whatever," he colors and turns away, "Could you do me a favor and not tell anyone about this?"

"About what?" I ask, playing dumb.

"You know" he mumbles, "Me training here."

"Well maybe, but tell me why you've been in here for the past week."

His eyes widen, "How did you know?"

"And why do you care"

"I'm often bored nowadays, so I just wanted to know. And it's not rocket science, Kiba hasn't seen you in the lunch room and neither have I so I just put two and two together."

Naruto gives me a strange look."You've noticed I was gone? I didn't think anyone would."

"Look if you don't tell me why, I'll take it this is to re-challenge Kiba and I'll let him know."

"Fine" He tousles his blonde hair "But don't tell anyone... I just wanted to try and join the football team."

"Why, are you trying to impress Sakura or something?"

"Hell no, I stopped liking her after she started hanging around Ino."

"Then why challenge Kiba?"

"I just want to beat him at his own game"

Im surprised. Naruto having ulterior motives.

"Hey aren't you good at running?"Naruto asks.

"I guess you could say that, why Uzumaki?"

He looks away, "Could you help me?"

Fuck, now he wants to be my friend. Not happening.

"Come on Naruto, you know I won't do that"

Naruto looked me in the eyes now, "Look I'm not asking you to be my friend, I just want to be better."

Usually, I just let the group mock him, but now I kinda felt like I might have to do it myself to get out of here.

"Seriously, I'll act like I don't know you, if you just help me."

"If I still say no?"

He pauses for a moment, "Both of us know by now, I'm a loser in this school, so I have no shame. I'll act like you're my lover and attempt to jump you in the halls, and-"

Fuck...

"In class and-"

come on why does this have to happen to me?

"In the locker room."

"You wouldn't"

"I'll do it if I have to Sasuke"

"Fine but we don't know eachother, got it?!"

"Crystal clear, Thank you, and meet me in here during lunch and You're not off the hook until I make the team."

"That's so long though!" I complain.

"I'll grow on you like a tumor" he laughs.

I'm starting to think I have the worst luck ever.
