Cuts and Bruises
Chapter one: Cuts and bruises
(Shikamaru POV)
It's been two months since Naruto dragged Sasuke back to Konoha. Now you can see the fear in the villagers' eyes when Sasuke walks by. Everthing has changed. But not in Naruto's eyes. Naruto thinks that everything is back to normal. But he's just dreaming.
The first time I realized my unusually enormous admiration for Naruto was when I was depressed after Asumas's death. I guess you could say I went suicidal, but Naruto always stopped me and told me…
" You think your hurting yourself, but your only giving the people you care about cuts and bruises. "
I've been in love with him ever since. But now he spends all his free time with Sasuke (yeah that's right, the same guy who wanted to kill him).I must admit I'm a bit jealous. Who would want to hang out with his emo ass anyway. Sakura and Ino still fight over him. Girls, there so troublesome. Why do chicks go after guys who don't give a shit? I don't know. And I don't care. But Sasuke is growing feelings towards Naruto.
*Flashback*
Naruto decided to hold a party in the meadow for all the teams for becoming jonin. Sasuke never came to parties so I figured I could hang with Naruto. The drag is that I was wrong. Which almost never happens. Sasuke actually showed up. I tried my best to keep Naruto from noticing him but Sakura and Ino got in an argument. And get this, they were pushing and tugging each other's hair fighting over who was going to dance with Sasuke. It was a complete waste of time seeing that Sasuke wouldn't dance with either one of 'em. Naruto shot up from his seat, grabbed Sasuke's arm, and dashed away with him. Sasuke was just as red as my fruit punch.
