To all of my fellow readers, I DO NOT own Naruto
Sasuke gently brushed his shoulder against Naruto's. The blonde looked like he wanted to kill him, and Sasuke looked very annoyed. The raven couldn't take it anymore. The blonde stalked him, and he knew it! Naruto had followed him since the beginning of the school year. Now was the time to get him away. The raven swerved around and pushed the other violently to the pavement at the front of the school.
"What the heck!" Naruto yelled, "What's wrong with you!?"
Sasuke stomped over to the cringing Naruto, and punched his face, "Why do you stalk me you idiot?"
Naruto looked confused, "Why the hell do you think that?"
"Whenever I go anywhere, I find you there too."
"How do you know it's me bastard?"
Sasuke's face darkened, "You're such an idiot! You follow others so you can be acknowledged! Why are you such a stupid baka?! Nobody wants to hang out with you, and they never will!"
The poor blonde had tears leave the corners of his eyes, but didn't close them. He couldn't be intimidated by this raven. Not today, not ever again. "I'm the idiot?" he protested, "You're picking on people smaller than you so you can seem tough! Why is that Uchiha?!"
Sasuke sighed, "It's none of your business dobe. Just go away… and stop following me!"
He stalked off, leaving a bewildered Naruto. God, what was he thinking? Naruto didn't understand how he got through people. Sasuke had never felt the least bit of kindness, and was always abused as a child. This is the nicest he's ever been. Usually, he would beat his stalkers to a pulp, but something about this stupid blonde made him hesitate. What was it? Maybe Naruto was different. Just maybe, he might not be worth hitting anymore. No, don't think that Sasuke! He's your number one stalker in the Sasuke stalker book. But still, what made him stop? His head and heart ached just thinking about it, and he turned back to glance behind him. Sure enough, Naruto was behind him as always. He looked like he was talking to somebody on his phone, and Sasuke decided to listen in.
"Sure thing Kiba," he said grinning, "I'll give you the info tomorrow."
"…"
"Heh! No way is that ever going to happen."
"…wait…"
Naruto got flustered, "Kiba shut up! It's not like that at all!"
"… You have such a dirty mind."
Sasuke had no idea what they were talking about, but it seemed interesting enough to hear. He could hear a loud voice from the other end of the phone, but couldn't hear what it was saying. Whatever it was though, Naruto's blush deepened. "Kiba shut up!"
The raven chanced a glance and saw a red faced Naruto. The guy on the other line must be saying really personal things. As far as Sasuke knew, the blonde wasn't a pervert, so it shouldn't be anything inappropriate. Sasuke's own phone started buzzing in his pocket, and he saw his ex calling him. Oh great, what does she want? They broke up last year after their fourth day anniversary. Apparently, he turned out to be too boring for her, so she decided to cheat on him and go out with another guy. It's not like they were madly in love or anything like that, so he didn't give a crap at all. He just wasn't expecting her to be the one rejecting him. Her name was Sakura Haruno, the schools bitch. Well, second bitch anyway. Ino was the first.
"SASUKE!" she screeched, "You still didn't pick up your sweater!"
"I told you to keep it," he said sternly.
"No you didn't! You specifically told me you would come over to get it today."
"Well, now I'm telling you to get off of my case and keep it."
He heard a sigh on the other line, "You're a bastard, you know that?"
She hung up after that, and Sasuke was glad that she finally shut up. He had no idea how he lasted for four days, but he must have had a good reason. He looked back behind his shoulder and saw that Naruto had stopped walking behind him. Finally! Wait, Naruto looked like he was on the verge of tears. Sasuke didn't know why, but Naruto was yelling at that guy still on the other line. Since the raven had really good hearing skills, he decided to act stalkerish again and listen in.
"No Kiba! I don't care how you think of him!" Naruto yelled, "I don't know why I feel like this!"
"… Yeah…"
"I'm not a stalker!"
"…Well that's different."
Naruto gasped.
"SHUT UP! STOP BEING PERVERTED!"
What the heck is he yelling about? The Uchiha thought.
The next scene made Sasuke gasp quietly.
Naruto was crying in the middle of the sidewalk and yelled, "ME BEING GAY SHOULDN'T MATTER TO YOU!"
The raven had no clue. Wasn't it supposed to be noticeable when somebody is gay? One time, his brother Itachi brought a guy over to the house, and introduced him as his boyfriend. The guy not only sounded and acted like a girl, he looked like one too! He wasn't bad, but Sasuke thought he was just too girly. That was before his brother was a juvenile delinquent. The infamous Itachi Uchiha had killed their parents, and Sasuke wasn't sure he knew him when he did that. His brother is now in custody at the local prison. Sasuke was so disgusted with his brother, he never bothered to visit. How could he possibly visit somebody who killed his over protective father and gentle loving mother?
The lonely boy thought about turning back to the blonde, but that would look strange since he just bullied him not too long ago. Now he regrets doing that, no matter how much he doesn't want to admit it. The Uchiha boy sighed as he kept walking. He hated seeing people cry, unless it's a fangirl. They should see it coming when he would reject them. Sasuke couldn't help but hear the last of Naruto's conversation.
"I DON'T CARE WHAT HE DOES TO ME! MY FEELINGS WILL NEVER CHANGE!"
Naruto hung up the phone and ran back home. How could Kiba insult him like that? The blonde knew Sasuke was listening to him the whole time! That was so embarrassing! Showing his tears out there like that made him seem weak. Not only that, but he just screamed out that he was gay. Stupid Naruto! You don't scream that in the middle of the street in front of an Uchiha who is always surrounded by stupid fangirls.
"Ugh, I'm gonna get it in the morning," Naruto grumbled.
When he got to his lonesome apartment, he was met by a girl with black hair. The light shining from the ceiling made the silky blackness have a tint of navy blue. Her lavender eyes met his bright blue ones when he entered through the door. She smiled her usual small smile. "Hello N-Naruto-kun!" she stuttered.
"Hey Hinata, how was your day?" Naruto asked.
"It c-could have b-been better, but I'm fine n-now that you're here!"
Naruto sighed. Hinata Hyuga was his only friend other than the perverted Kiba Inuzuka. Everybody else ignored him or bullied him. After school, Hinata would go to Naruto's house and stay a few hours and help him out around the house. The blonde told her she didn't have to, but she insisted in being a good friend, which she already was in Naruto's opinion. Hinata used to blush all the time, but now she's gotten better. The blonde always thought she was sick, but later on, she told him she used to have a crush on him. He wasn't expecting that at all! This was before he changed his sex life to men, so he was actually wishing she had confessed earlier.
"The m-mail c-came today. There i-is a letter from your i-insurance company and a letter from U-Uchiha F-Fugaku."
"Isn't he dead?" Naruto asked.
"M-Maybe it's his will."
Hinata handed him the letter as she watched him open it. Naruto read a few sentences, then his eyes grew wide. Naruto read what it said:
Uzumaki Naruto,
We have written this letter before our death. We decided to have Itachi send it to you on this specific date for a reason that we must not say. Help Sasuke become a greater man than he already is. He has said so many things about you, and we know you can help him become stronger. All you have to do is help him achieve his goals and give him the support he needs. So, we are asking you to have him stay with you.
You are very important to him, even though he doesn't admit it. Once, he cheered about you talking to him, but this was when he was seven. He probably wouldn't do that anymore. We wish you luck and hope you get closer to our dear Sasuke.
Love, Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha
P.S. Sasuke is gay, and we give you our blessing if you think about going further than friends
As Naruto read the last part, his eyes grew wide, and his cheeks flushed a bright red. Hinata read it behind his shoulder and giggled. Apparently, Sasuke's parents approved without him or Sasuke. He had to admit though; he enjoyed hearing about Sasuke liking him like that. It was kind of cute.
Sasuke had been on Facebook checking his wall. Nothing good was really happening over the internet. He decided to also check Naruto's page, just for kicks. Apparently, the blonde had posted something saying he was fed up with people calling him a stalker. One of his stupid annoying friends, Kiba Inuzuka, posted something saying he was one. What an idiot! Sasuke decided to cheer the blonde up a little, even though that is not in his nature.
I don't really think you're a stalker. I just like picking on you sometimes.
He didn't realize Naruto was actually on and saw the message, so he was surprised he got a reply back so quickly.
Whatever Sasuke! I don't believe that for one second
The Uchiha smirked and replied, I'm serious Naruto.
Really, I thought you always hated me. Are you getting soft?
Sasuke could hear Naruto's laughter in his head.
Heh! Whatever! So, did anything happen after school?
It seemed like Naruto was thinking on the other side, because he had to wait for a while. Sasuke started to get anxious, and was twiddling his thumbs. What was taking so long?
Yes, and it involves you. We need to meet up somewhere. I got a letter in the mail.
Ok. Which house do you want to meet at?
Can you come over to mine?
Ok. I'll be there in a sec.
Sasuke shut down his laptop and changed out of his school uniform. He put on a white button up shirt with a black hooded jacket, and black dress pants. He put on a pair of black sneakers, fixed his hair to make it look a little neater, and headed out the door. He's known Naruto for a long time, and his parents would go over to his house once in a while for reasons nobody knows. Maybe the blonde will tell him, and that's what is so important now. As he entered Naruto's street, he noticed an orange cat was following him. Sasuke ignored it and kept on walking. Naruto's apartment building came into view, and Sasuke entered. The apartment was on the top floor, but Sasuke only had to walk up one flight of stairs. He found Naruto's small apartment and knocked on the door. The said boy opened it with a serious face. That's not usually like him. In his hand, he held an envelope. Naruto let the raven in and shut the door behind him. Sasuke sat on the bright orange couch, and watched the blonde walk up to him. He studied his face, and saw the small hint of worry in his eyes. What could possibly worry this overly energetic blonde?
"Have you seen this letter before?" Naruto asked.
"No," Sasuke simply said back.
"It was in the mail when I got here. It was addressed to me by your parents. Since you were mentioned a few times, I thought you would want to at least look at it."
The Uchiha's eyes widened. His parents were long gone, so why was there a letter from them, and why was it to Naruto? The said blonde gave the envelope to the shocked boy who took it slowly. As Sasuke skimmed over the letter, his eyes got really wide and blushed as he reached the middle. That blush darkened as he read the end. The thought of Naruto actually reading it made him slightly nervous. "You read all of this?" he asked.
"Yes."
Oh what is he going to do now? Sasuke was embarrassed by his dead parents. They just had to incorporate his feelings into a letter. How embarrassing! He didn't think they even knew! As he stared at the floorboards, Sasuke felt Naruto's gaze on him. The silence was eating at Sasuke, but what was he supposed to say after that? It's not like he could say "let's just leave it be and move on." This was a serious letter by his dead parents who, he assumed, had been planning this for a long time. "Is everything they said… true?" Naruto asked.
The raven couldn't speak, so he simply nodded his head.
"Do you hate me more now? I mean, after you read that?"
Sasuke stared at Naruto. What kind of question is that? Why would he hate Naruto? Shouldn't it be the other way around? Shouldn't Naruto get mad at him for having such feelings? "Dobe, what are you talking about? Why would I hate you?"
"Well, because it was sent to me, and I didn't think…"
Naruto trailed off and sighed. The raven stood up and said, "Listen Naruto, this decision is up to you. I don't care what you decide. Sure my parents were complete lunatics when it comes to protecting their 'little boys', but you don't have to do this if you don't want to. I'm not going to hold you back either."
The blonde searched into his dark eyes, and couldn't see any regret from what he just said, so the blonde nodded his head. "I'll do it!"
"Are you sure you want to keep the person bullying you in your constant care?"
Naruto glared at him and smirked, "You said you wouldn't go against my decision."
"I'm not. I just want to make sure that's what you want. If so, I'll start bringing some stuff over."
The blonde walked over to the Uchiha in two long strides. Sasuke noticed he was only a tad smaller than Naruto. They were almost the same height. Naruto pulled him into a gentle embrace and whispered in his ear, "I'm not going to change my mind. I said I would do it, didn't I?"
Sasuke shivered at the feeling of Naruto's warm breath against his ear. He suddenly felt warmer with Naruto's body heat against his clothed skin. The blonde's grip lessened. Sasuke didn't want the blonde to leave so early, so he quickly wrapped his arms around him. Both figures didn't expect this. The raven held him tightly, preventing the other to move.
"S-Sasuke?"
The raven looked in Naruto's eyes and said, "We don't have to leave right now."
"W-What do y-you mean?"
Sasuke stayed like that for a while, and then realized what he was doing. He quickly let go, hating the cold that came afterwards, and hid his face in his hands. His cheeks flushed red with embarrassment. He thanked Naruto in his head for putting the scene behind him. Naruto walked to the door with red cheeks. As he opened the door he said, "Come on Sasuke. We don't have all day. We sadly have school tomorrow."
The Uchiha's house wasn't too far away. It was six houses down the road from the apartment. Sasuke unlocked the house and entered with Naruto behind him. They went up to Sasuke's room and packed his things in his bag. He decided to bring his clothes, toothbrush, hairbrush, hair gel, laptop, iPod, and cellphone. He got all of his electronic chargers, packed them in his navy blue bag, and left the house he once called home.
Naruto opened the door for Sasuke as they entered. The raven put his bag in Naruto's room, walked back to the living room, and sat on the couch. The blonde sat down next to the raven shortly after. "Sasuke?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah?"
"I'm confused about something."
Naruto's gaze stayed on Sasuke's coal black eyes. They were gazing back at him without emotion. Typical Sasuke, always hiding his inner self.
"We've always fought, but you're willing enough to stay here with me. I've also noticed you've changed your personality completely once we started talking on Facebook. Is something wrong?"
The Uchiha chuckled, "No Naruto. My personality never changed. I was just trying to act like I've always acted towards others so nobody would suspect anything. If people found out, I'd…"
Sasuke looked at the floor again and Naruto could see a very faint blush form across his pale skin. The blonde held back a chuckle and said, "So you're just hiding your true feelings so you could keep your precious reputation. You shouldn't do that Sasuke. It's very unhealthy."
"You're not my mother."
"But I'm your new guardian!"
Naruto showed a cheeky grin and Sasuke scowled. "Whatever dobe!"
"Hey! I was only messing with you! I don't want to seem like a guardian anyway. I want to be more of a friend giving you a new place to live in."
Sasuke smirked, "Who said we were friends?"
"Technically, your parents did."
The raven lowered his head again, and Naruto knew he said something wrong. Man, they were having the smoothest conversation they've had too! Why did he have to ruin it? Naruto felt bad, so he wrapped his arm around the other's shoulders and said softly, "I'm sorry! I shouldn't have-"
"Stop it!" Sasuke interrupted, "You shouldn't say you're apology unless you are the person who did it. I should have been over this."
"But Sasuke! I had no right in saying that and making you upset. Now I feel bad."
Small tears were making their way down Naruto's scarred cheeks. Sasuke wiped them away with his hand gently, making Naruto smile a little. The small act of kindness showed how much the raven actually did care. His warm hand against the other's cheek made Naruto's face blush. The blonde desperately wanted to hug and kiss the man in front of him, but the later would probably react badly to such sudden actions. Naruto used all of his will power on holding himself back. In order to do that, he had to stop looking at the raven. So he looked at his feet on the floor. There was .movement next to him, but he didn't look. Two fingers found their way under Naruto's chin, making him look at the other beside him. They both had blushes, and Naruto's was spreading faster than chicken pox! Naruto closed his eyes to not look at his face.
"Naruto, I want to see your eyes," Sasuke whispered.
The blonde did as he was told and reopened them. He realized how close their faces were, which is about two inches apart. Neither of them looked away from their gazes. "You don't have to apologize. It's not your fault," Sasuke whispered.
"Yes it is," Naruto whispered back.
Sasuke leaned in closer, placing his pale lips gently on Naruto's. The blonde was surprised that he was the one who didn't move, but he was happy either way. The blonde kissed back with as much emotion as he could muster. This made Sasuke moan, which deepened the kiss even more. Yes, this is what Naruto wanted. He wanted to be happy with Sasuke in his arms, both of them not letting go. The stray tears from earlier fell into the kiss, making it sweet with a tiny bit of a salty taste. This was their third time kissing each other. The other two times were by accident of course, but they're still considered kisses.
"Sasuke," Naruto whispered after catching most of his breath, "What has gotten into you all of a sudden?"
The said raven kept the blonde in his arms, and just stared. The blonde couldn't tell, but he was thinking Sasuke was starting to regret what he did. You could tell if the infamous Sasuke Uchiha regretted something, because he usually never did. A frown formed on his face, and that's when Naruto was sure of his hypothesis.
"I shouldn't have done that," Sasuke mumbled, face palming and turned away from Naruto, "What was I thinking?"
The raven got up from the couch and walked into the bathroom, locking the door. The blonde quickly got up and rapped on the door, calling Sasuke's name numerous times. Naruto couldn't help but feel bad about this. He was sure his tone of voice wasn't rude. He was definitely positive he didn't do anything wrong after the kiss. Did he offend Sasuke somehow? The thought made him a little teary eyed. He didn't want to hurt Sasuke's feelings! Never would he ever want to do such a terrible thing! The tears started appearing on his cheeks as he continued his negative thoughts. Maybe he shouldn't have said it was his fault. Maybe he should have agreed with the Uchiha, and he wouldn't have been so hurt.
"I'm sorry Sasuke!" Naruto cried.
"You didn't do anything wrong!" a muffled voice yelled from behind the door the blonde was leaning on.
"But…. But if I-I agree-ed to you, y-you wouldn't b-be so hur-rt!"
The door opened suddenly, making Naruto jump back in surprise. The young Uchiha had red, puffy eyes. He had been crying, and Uchiha's don't cry. Now Naruto felt like hurting himself even more. He had never heard of an Uchiha crying, and making Sasuke cry was unheard of. More fresh tears escaped the swollen blue eyes. "You didn't hurt me," Sasuke said, placing a hand on Naruto's shoulder.
"It sure looks like that!" Naruto yelled, "Who-o ever h-heard of an Uch-chiha cryi-ing? And I was the culprit!"
The blonde felt ashamed for crying in front of the raven, but he couldn't help his teenage hormones. Everybody had them, but Sasuke was really good at hiding them, unlike the broken blonde. The said raven stepped in front of Naruto, and wrapped his arms around him. "How many times do I have to tell you it wasn't your fault? I just feel so stupid for just kissing you like that."
Naruto clung onto Sasuke's back for dear life. If he didn't do this, he could possibly lose consciousness. Making Sasuke upset hurt him more than finding out about his family's slaughter, which had hit him pretty hard. Sasuke's scent traveled through his nose. Naruto smiled, knowing now that Sasuke wouldn't let go. When the blonde didn't feel faint and was having regular breathing patterns, they parted. Naruto felt vulnerable in the state he was in. tear stained cheeks, soft red eyes, and a pout on his lips. If Sasuke wasn't looking at him right then and there, he would have fallen against the cold wall behind him.
"Would it be weird," Naruto mumbled, "if I told you I liked it?"
Omg! I am SO SORRY for not posting any new stories lately! Ok, so I was planning on making this a one shot, but now I change my mind. I am really happy about moving in the next two weeks, and I will have INTERNET! So now, I can post more fanfics! How did I do? Did I do ok? Let me know below! =^_^=
