Touch Me Not

Prologue

Konoha high school institute a co-ed dormitory school located far from the city inside the mountains. It was established in the beginning of the Kyuubi era. Although only students from rich families could attend in the past, now, even students from normal families can attend.

I, Uzumaki Naruto, am one of them. I'm entering my 2nd year this year. However, I have a problem which is even diagnosed by the doctors. Unlike the other students, I escaped to this school. During my 1st year, I was called a heartless, uncaring, emotionless, stoic, anti-social, neat freak. I was an outcast who won't or refused to fight back no matter how I was being picked on.

But there was only one person who didn't take me as a 'weird guy'; instead, he said I'm just 'bad at expressing myself'. Uchiha Sasuke, heir to the Uchiha Group: Uchiha Bank, Uchiha Real Estate, Uchiha Trading, Uchiha Security and other things ranging from ship building to electrical appliances. There isn't anything which is cannot be made under the Uchiha name.

Sasuke is a returnee who was born in America. He's always the topic to every student in school even the teachers talk about him. I thought he and I were living in totally different worlds. But after entering 2nd year, somehow we've became roommates. And everything began on the welcome ceremony of our 2nd year. My carefree student life with my ex-roommate, Nara Shikamaru (who was the one who truly understood me) changed rapidly.

First is Yamanaka Ino she's said to be the most BEAUTIFUL princess in our grade. She, who is in love with Sasuke, starts picking on me all of a sudden. And then, Sasuke's close friend Hyuga Neji appeared. The evil discipline committee chairman. There's Sai, President of the Art Club with a horribly weird personality (twisted much). And Haruno Sakura, Ino's roommate, head of the student health committee (which I am an admirer of hers by the way) not because she's smart, she's also pretty and caring despite her monstrous strength.

And then, the incidents, Sasuke protected me and got splashed by the paint Sai threw. And because of that Ino got jealous and like how they appear in dramas, I got hit by Yamanaka's bodyguards and fainted. When I regain consciousness, for some unknown reason I was with Sasuke and found myself locked in an old storage room with him. After getting reacquainted and some casual talking, the unthinkable happen, Sasuke confessed to me. He held me in his warm embrace and confessed his love to me. I, on the other hand was really confused and really scared. I felt disgusted, I wanted to push him away but the warmth from his touch was like a spell for breaking the curse in my body. It easily broke the wall which I carefully build to keep my sanity intact. It melted my once iced heart.

In the end, seems like Ino realized Akimichi Choji's (Nara Shikamaru's best friend) kindness after the big commotion. And Shikamaru (even though he doesn't show it very often) shows his concern about me and my new dorm life.

I have an illness which Sasuke likes to call it 'touch-me-not syndrome' but other than that I have a secret which I've not told anyone and am not planning to tell anyone especially 'him' in particular. Even though we've become lovers I have no idea what the futures holds.

"Naruto!" the golden haired boy averted his clear cerulean eyes to the one who was calling him. He smiled, closing the book that he was reading then stood and walked towards the boy with onyx hair and eyes smiling and waiting patiently for him.

However, something is definitely changing within this new spring breeze.
