Another one, from Sasuke's point of view….kinda haha.
Hints of naru/saku ::: one-sided sasu/naru

You're nervous.
It can be easily read on your features, you know. You can be like a book sometimes, so open and vulnerable it makes me almost sick. Mostly, it's your eyes. They're the most expressive part about you, believe it or not.
For each of your emotions, the movements of your eyes differ. The color too, sometimes. Maybe I'm the only person who notices. Maybe I'm not. That Hyuuga must not have noticed--and maybe that's the reason you two didn't last.
But it doesn't mean anything. I've been told I'm a very good at observing little things. In fact, I've been praised about it by my family and the colleges I have applied to. So maybe it's just my nature.
When you're angry, your eyes are like fire--blazing and hot with wild determination crackling in them. Your gaze doesn't waver--it is completely steady and maybe a little threatening. Not to me, of course. I can match that gaze. But maybe to them.
If in pain, emotional or physical, you try to hide it. They stay glued to the ground, half lidded so that you are shielding yourself from other people. You usually smile, but maybe its just a little too strained. For one reason or another, you don't like people worrying about you, but you constantly worry about them.
Those days, I come over and stay an extra hour. To make sure you've eaten, and maybe to pester you about the CD you never returned to me. Maybe it's a lie, but you seem to believe it every time.
When you're happy, it is like there's a giant magnet inside of you, pulling everyone close by to your side. Your smile is genuine, if large, but it mostly shows in your eyes. They glimmer and sparkle, not so much like the sky other than color because such a thing cannot hold as much life as your eyes.
These days, I maybe smile with you. Maybe not as large. Though.
But right now, you're nervous and maybe a little afraid. The smile isn't there, replaced by a frown that makes you look quite odd. Your eyes aren't steady, flickering left, right, up to me, and then bouncing left again.
"Spit it out." I say, maybe a little harsher than necessary, to hide my curiosity. I smirk hen anger flashes in your eyes, like wild blue fire, but it fades with my smirk. You're back to nervous, twitching and tapping and so many other annoying habits that make my skin itch.
"Bastard." You mutter, eyes on the ground again. "I just…wanted to know….if you wanna' double up with Sakura and me? We're going to the movies later and…she has a friend.." He sounded hopeful.
Maybe I was glaring a little too hard, and that's why your eyes squinted in a wince. I schooled myself, bringing my shoulders up and back so that my back was ramrod straight, and looking at you with what I knew
hoped
was cool indifference.
"No." I say, and maybe my voice is a little too icy. "I don't care for such frivolous events."
Even though I had gone with you not even two days ago. Your eyes begin to narrow, and I feel almost relieved. If we fought, things would be just that much more okay. Fighting was familiar grounds and we were always calm after.
But then you sigh, searching my eyes for a moment more, though I don't know what you're trying for. I know my eyes are hard and don't portray the storm brewing inside of me.
Your shoulders slump, you turn, and go back into the cafeteria.
To your friends.
To your girlfriend.
And maybe I feel just a little too disappointed.

I love it when I get bored it my classes--it inspires me to write :]
Also, yes, I know there is a lot of 'maybe's' hence, the title.
