Chapter 1: Sasuke.

- - -

It would have been an understatement to say that Sasuke was not in a state of shock. He was speechless.

He watched his fathers back as he walked out of the room. Fugaku knew that he didn't need to explain, Sasuke would understand. And Sasuke understood.

Every summer a boy named Naruto would come and live with Sasuke and his family. Sasuke didn't ever really care about Naruto, he never did. Sasuke saw Naruto as a pretty uninteresting, boring, stupid and annoying boy. He even looked stupid. After all those years that Naruto had visited, Sasuke never paid any attention to him. His computer and his guitar was always more interesting and more worthy of his time. Sometimes Naruto would've been in the room at the same time, writing or painting on his papers.

Sasuke looked to his turned off computer screen and realized that he didn't know Naruto. The boy he was going to marry. The boy his father had told him that he was going to spend the rest of his life with. His father had just returned from the airport where he had sent Naruto home. But it didn't matter, he would probably start in Sasuke's boarding school.

Still he didn't get why. Itachi had already been married off to a cute, quiet girl and together they had had two cute, quiet children. Boys. Wasn't that what his father really wanted? To marry off one of the Uchiha brothers to a wealthy girl with high influence. Itachi did that and also got two boys to continue the Uchiha name.
Sasuke was going to marry a stupid blonde boy. He couldn't have any children with a boy! And... Naruto wasn't that rich was he? Perhaps his parents had been something of influence when they where alive...

Sasuke twirled around in his chair and turned the computer on. He waited for the internet connection to be green before he logged online. He did not like to admit it at all, but he really needed to talk to his brother. Unfortunately he was not online.

But that didn't matter because Sasuke did not need anyone. Of course he didn't. And he did not need a loud boy following him around like he was a little boy. Especially during the last year at school...of course not.

Sasuke looked at the very well sorted playlists he had in itunes. He decided that The Beatles would do and pressed play. He then lay down on his bed to allow John Lennon's voice to take him away. John Lennon was a smart man who smoked. John also did drugs and marry a Japanese woman, but no, Sasuke wouldn't...well smoke yes, the rest no.

Sasuke discovered very soon the pleasure of smoking in his bed and feeling the nicotine take over his head. He wasn't addicted to the cancerstick, but he didn't plan on stopping anytime soon. He would need it, he would need it a lot. Just as he was about to reach out to take a cigarette from the top of his drawer his computer signaled that someone wanted to speak to him. He took a cigarette and lighter, went to see who wanted him something and changed the music to Bright Eyes.

Apparently Neji found out about the engagement and wanted to know more. And he also wanted Sasuke to send some Beatles to him. Sasuke told Neji to fuck off and buy his own records.

Neji and Sasuke were not friends. They were roommates, but not friends. They did not care about each other, they didn't say goodbye when they left the room. But they helped each other out, sometimes. Mostly they just waited until one of them fucked up.

Sasuke did not want to talk to Neji or listen to music anymore. He finished smoking and lay down on his bed once again. This time no distractions other then the need to smoke again could happened.

The school he went to was a very serious school, almost too serious. He had jumped straight into first grade even through he was one year younger. The teacher considered Sasuke smart. Sasuke had proven him right and continued being one year younger then his classmates.

Now he was in economics with Neji. His guess would be that Naruto would be a social studies student, he mentioned it once. That would mean that they would graduate together, since economics students studied a year longer then social studies students.

That would mean that he and Naruto would probably only have lunch together sometimes and nearly no breaks together at all. Meaning that Sasuke could use these breaks to study. Hopefully the dobe would get some friends to bother and leave him alone.

As Sasuke lit another cigarette he wondered what would happened if someone would walk in and see him. He had already smoked for two and a half years and no one noticed.

Not even Naruto but Naruto was probably too afraid to mention it. Sasuke knew that there had been times that Naruto could have smelled the smoke.

Naruto was not his type. He liked the quite ones. Naruto was not quiet. He was the opposite of everything that Sasuke was.

Sasuke did not like Naruto...

but somehow he could not but help a small smile form on his face as he imagined a school year with Naruto.
