City Boy:

Summary:

Sasuke, who was brought up in the city, is forced to move into a farm of his guardian's boyfriend for the summer holidays, effectively ruining his mood. That is until he meets a blue-eyed blond helper at the ranch, and suddenly, the countryside might not be that boring after all…

Pairings:

SasuNaru, KakaIru, AU

I stared out the tinted windows of the car; all I could see was endless fields of green, occasionally a number of cows grazing or a baby sheep led by a random boy could be seen, there was horses too and run down huts here there. The sun was blazing but the air felt clear, though it did not lighten my mood at all.

I sullened with each passing moment, just thinking of myself living in that kind of housing for more than two months, my head grew heavy, and to think the air conditioning in the car broke just as we were setting off, my head grew heavier.

I sighed for the one hundred and ninty-two times for that day, my biggest recent record. Kakashi, who was in the driver's seat was completely ignoring my utter misery, he was whistling and smiling to himself while reading some stupid book and thinking of Iruka probably.

"For god's sake, the world's not gonna end Sasuke. I don't care what you do or how you feel about it young man, but when you need to smile, you'll smile, just so Iruka is pleased with you."

"Hn…" I snorted and sighed again.

Kakashi could be so selfish sometimes, apart from Iruka, all the men there would be big and strong, so not my type. And all the only females there would all be the obaa-sans. So how am I, a horny seventeen-year-old male going to survive there? They don't even have electricity there, which means no television, meaning no labtop, no fan and lights, no nothing! Its like going back to the stone age for fucks sake!

I sunk back into another state of depression, crossing my arms and closing my eyes. Hot, stuffy and gloomy, I was lulled into an uncomfortable sleep by an uninviting headache and the ravens circling up in the sky.

It was like a premonition.

And then there was darkness, the black a same shade as the ravens, the same shade as my eyes.

It was an omen.

Abruptly, the car stopped. My slumber ended as well, seeing Kakashi getting out, I did the same. Stepping out groggily, I greeted Iruka with a 'Hn…" before focusing all my attention on the barn.

At first glance, it didn't look all that bad. I guess it was somewhat western with its red and white painted boards, like a farm from a children's book. There were two main buildings, one for us and the other for the animals.

Then again, appearance could be deceiving. I entered for a closer look, leaving the two love birds behind.

Opening the creaky wooden door of my home for more-than-two months, I was greeted with a rather clean, if not spacious, living-room. Miraculously, there was a TV set, but it was one of those really old ones with the two antennas still stuck behind.

Duh, what was I expecting? A 50-inch flat screen plasma TV? Tch.

There was a fire place, a comfy-looking beige-coloured sofa with cushions, a classy coffee table and smooth wooden flooring. Immediately, I relaxed. The surroundings were calming and warm; even I had to admit that it was a positive change from the city.

There was a spiral staircase heading up to the second level which leads to the other rooms, as much as I wanted to see what kind of pigsty I would be living in, exploring the entire first floor before advancing to the second floor would save me having to walk up again.

I decided not to bother with the other building, its not like I was going to do any chores anyhow, Kakashi brought me here on vacation not an excavation for cow dung.

Walking some more, I reached the kitchen. Like the rest of the house, it was like the kitchen from a fairytale, an oven and the sink by the side, the dining table alongside the sandy brown wall, two windows with translucent curtains, and flowerpots at the railing. Connecting to it was the toilet, which I hoped, had a proper drainage system.

I walked back into the living room and climbed up the stairs, creaking the life out of the wooden planks. The first door I saw on the right had a door sign hanging on the middle top. It was made of wood and had Iruka's name on it and a dolphin drawn beside the Japanese characters, all done in chalk.

Opposite was the same, but the door sign had Kakashi's name on it and a scarecrow drawn beside it. I saw another door beiside Iruka's but I didn't bother to acknowledge it and stood in front of my room, which was right beside Kakashi's, not like he needed a room.

He'll be spending most of his sleep time awake with Iruka, while I'll have to do it myself from all the sex deprivation.

The door sign, obviously, had my name on it with a duck drawn beside it; I twitched slightly, making up my mind to change it later. I heaved a sigh and turned the door-knob.

Amazing, my room wasn't a pigsty. Yes, I know its the second miracle.

It was somewhat plain and it wasn't that clean but at least it was neat. There was a bed by the side of the white wall, a closet, a cupboard and the same type of window I saw downstairs with the same kind of curtains.

My room was facing somewhere in the east appearantly, seeing that it was evening now and the sun was nowhere in sight. I walked towards the window and rested my arms on the railing, I turned my head to the left and was surprised that I hadn't noticed, until now, that the back of the house was full of sunflowers.

I shrugged, as long as I wasn't involved with the stem-cutting or the seedig or the whatever, sunflowers were fine with me. Though it was rare to see so many in one place all at once and quite nice actually, my eyes were so unused to the brightness of this place. It all seemed so innocent and pure, unlike Tokyo where everything was dark and bleak, where I was the top fighter in the district…

I sighed and continued with my journeying, walking to the end of the corridor, I found my last destination—the bathroom. Like all the other doors, there was a sign that said 'bathroom' on it with a few bubbles drawn at the side, I twitched again.

I opened the door and saw—

Jessie McCartney naked! Nah, better than that!

I saw—

…

Beautiful blue eyes,

…

Sexy, blond hair,

…

And lithe naked body all in one!

…

On that faithful day, there was not a scream that could be heard louder in the entire history of Konoha Farm.
