Hello
So, I am a big fan of bikes, and while I roll around the city in my bike I have a lot of crazy ideas for many stories. I really wanted to write a story that have bicycles in it, I had different plots but I was doubtful of which one was better, so I decided to write a compilation of 3 one-shots with the bicycles as an excuse to use romantic cliches between these two. Enjoy :)

Coincidental Obsession
Naruto was getting ready for the upcoming Sunday main event. The long sleeved sport shirt wrapping nicely around his torso and the tight black shorts that adjust from his defined abdomen to the powerful knees.
It was saturday and he was one month away of the city big cycling competition. He had been training by himself for about three months now, it wasn't a professional competition but as the city marathon and other events organized by the city it was a big date for the sport enthusiast people like him.
With his sunglasses firmly in place and his earbuds now filling his ears with electronic music, he took out his bike, a beautiful black and green fixie, very light, perfect for cities.
The street was busy, it was after all a saturday in the morning and there would be people running in the near park or strolling around with their dogs. It was a calm morning, with the vibrant sun starting to heat and the air, in spite of being a city, was fresh and almost clean.
In position, the blonde checked he had everything he need, his house keys in the secret pouch hidden in the side of the left arm of the sport shirt, as well as his phone in the same pouch, sending the music to the wireless earbuds.
He try the first movements to the pedals, making the bicycle walk a little. This was his favorite part of cycling, feeling his muscles slowly giving power to the wheels and the chain, watching the road below starting to move.
He was completely in love with his bike, he use it every day to go to work, to go for groceries, to take a break in the saturdays like this, when he had to go downtown to a friend reunion, and all sort of movements. It was very rare that he use the bus or the train, he was not a fan of those small and crowded, always stopping in every corner, and wasting a lot of time. He loved the fact that in a bike he could control his time, how fast to go or if he needed to change the route, it was the best invention of history.
The route he always took was from the beginning of the big park in the city downtown, there was a bicycle lane that surrounded the hole green area, and was as big as three stadiums, so there was a big distance to cover, perfect for a high speed training.
After his very well deserved two hours training, he chill in a coffee near the south entrance of the park, where he chose an outside table for him and his friend sakura who was an avid runner and he usually met her every saturday. They work on the same advertising company in a big office in the upper part of the city, so the talk during the saturday breakfast was very pleasant and active. Since they have all sorts of topics in common to talk. luckily they talk about everything but work. This weekend Naruto was very chatty about a guy he saw that took his breath away.
-...I swear Sakura, he was the most astonishing human being I have ever seen- Said Naruto while taking his orange juice, emptying the glass in one go.
-Come on Naruto… you just see him in your way to work, and is just a glimpse, you could not have fallen for him already- She reply giggling.
-That is not true, I have also see his face in other parts of the city, is like the guy is all over this big place- he motion with his arms a big circle in the air. - And also I am very sure you have seen him too.- he close his eyes slightly in suspicion.
-Alright maybe I have, but I have never pay too much attention, I am always running late from work, and since I need my esential morning coffee I never stop to watch the corner where you always stay like an idiot for like five minutes, staring at him.- she finished displeased.
-There are not five minutes! Is just when I wait the red light to turn green, and since is in the corner of the street where the office is, I don't see the problem on staring at his handsome face meanwhile-
-Gosh, You are crazy!- She laugh light hearted.
Sakura would never knew this, but on working days, Naruto would leave his apartment earlier, so he could stop at the Starbucks in the mentioned corner and see that man, that was slowly invading his thoughts and dreams. It was creepy how he would just stare at him when he arrived to that corner, watching his black brilliant eyes, his black hair, perfectly styled and his clothes, fitting perfectly to his well built body, the black shirt contrasting incredibly with his white skin, he was up in a bike, very modern and probably very expensive,. Sometimes Naruto would find Sakura at the coffee and she would star nagging, telling him he was sick and was a pervert and obsessed.
Every day, when he would roll in front of that corner he would find that beautiful face, looking to the front, it was as if he see him, maybe he was seeing him.
There were some days, while training , that his mind would drift to that corner, or the weird occasions where he use the train, one or to times every month and was strictly necessary. Those times he had seen him outside the station, handsome as always, and some other times he had catch a glimpse of him in some other points of the city, is not as if he was searching him, it was life, making their paths cross counted times, when he just go for a roll without thinking the destiny, always in his trustable fixie.
Gosh!, Naruto thought, How good would be to know his name. So he could have a name to call him in his dreams.
But the real surprise came when one afternoon a very disheveled Sakura came running all the way from across the parking lot, where Naruto was unchaining his bike, ready to go home, tired and fed up by the clients tantrums and his team lack of ideas, he wanted to rest all he could since this weekend was the date he have been training for.
-Naruto! Naruto!, you won't believe it!, - she stop the race when she arrived just in front of him.
-What!? now what!?- The blond answered fearing the worst, already fearing the order of his boss to return to the office because some sort of stupid excuse, he would not be surprised.
-I know the name of your beloved man!, Kiba just told me!-
-What! - the headache was gone, finally the name!- How?! Where he know him?, How is his voice? Is sexy? I bet is super sexy!- Naruto couldn't stop to ask all sort of things he have been wondering for almost two months now.
-Jezz! calm down!, ok , so Kiba and I went to the coffee shop for a late night espresso, cause you know we still have to work a few hours, and when we exited the place I remember you and your obsesion, and I mean, he was just there in the bus stop, so I told Kiba your insane habit of staring at that guy-
-Sakura! You just say it like that?!, That is embarrassing, Kiba would think I am a weirdo-
-Don't worry, he knows you are a weirdo for many reasons apart from that, so long story short, his name is Sasuke, Kiba is in a project with him for this Sunday Cycling Marathon, maybe he could introduce you to him this sunday, he's working with this year sponsor- With a kiss on the cheek she said goodbye leaving Naruto with a very complicated decision in his mind. Running back to the office and beg Kiba to include him in the sunday project and of course losing the competition, or compete like a crazy and end the race in the first 20 places so he could have access to the sponsor's winners tent.
The second it was! we would win, and then he would meet his beloved man!
The day came, and since Naruto was so nervous to meet Sasuke he forgot to make the final adjustments to his bike, running late to the race and leaving important things behind, like his registration number.
By the time he arrived to the race it was too late, the participants had already started ten minutes ago, and the winning chances were gone.
Frustrated he walked away from the starting line, arriving to the resting point where a lot of people were starting to fill the laterals of the street to wait and see who was the first person to cross the finish line, since it was a circular circuit.
Leaving his bike in one of the thousands bike parking lots, he walked with his head down, and furious to the sponsors tent, hopping to find Kiba, at least.
But the tent was still closed. so he would have to wait, surrounded by people rushing here and there to have the water and the clean towels with the sponsor's name on it ready for the competitors.
-So I heard you fell in love with my photo?- a voice came suddenly, taking Naruto out of his head.
And it was him, the man that has been in his head all this time, looking at him with those black big eyes. He was taller than he imagined, since he was always on a bike when he saw it, and have the sexiest voice he have ever heard.
He was so good looking, and had the same beautiful serious face that he have been fantasizing for months since the first time that advertising hoarding was changed with Sasuke's promotional photo two months ago. Every morning he reach the corner that leads to his office, he saw the advertise billboard in the bus stop, displaying a photo of Sasuke in his expensive bicycle, with the new line of casual sports wear t-shirts, wich were for daily use and for sport lovers.
But the real Sasuke was better, and seemed stronger, he was wearing the same outfit Naruto saw in all the ads in the city, the bluish tight jeans and that fitting black t-shirt, with the logo print on the left side.
-I… um… Well may be someone talk to much…- said Naruto searching Kiba with killer eyes.
-I think is cute, how he told me about your obsession with my poster all over the city- said Sasuke, amused by Naruto's tomato red face.
-I have to go….- finished Naruto, turning around searching the keys of his bike lock.
-Wait, I'm sorry… I was just messing around- he put his hand on Naruto's shoulder spinning him around.- Sasuke Uchiha… model- he flashed a small smile while extending his hand.
Naruto saw the action and didn't hesitate in returning the smile, stretching the hand with his own. - Naruto, advertiser and future murderer of Kiba Inuzuka.-
Sasuke laugh- He is a good guy, very smart by the way- he defend his project manager
- But he also told me so many good things about you, that I was so impatient to meet you- He finished with a smirk, then making Naruto a sign to follow him to the back door of the sponsor's tent.
where Sasuke was getting ready for the activation they have to make, standing like human mannequins, displaying the outfits they were wearing for a press photoshoot. He just had to walk around for a little and then he was finished.
-Soo.. what exactly does Kiba told you about me?- Naruto inquired, eyeing the tattoo of a bike that Sasuke was displaying in his forearm. In record time he reached the conclusion he really really really liked Sasuke, and he was going to seduce him slowly, and may be at some point ask him out.
-Well… a lot of things, but the essential is that I would be an idiot if I don't have a date with you.- Naruto stood there, while Sasuke took some water, watching him.
I'm really going to kill kiba, Naruto's thoughts were screaming inside his head.
-Na...Ru...To? you have something to do after the race?- Sasuke was near his body now, with a smug face, talking in a low tone.
What Naruto didn't know was that Sasuke had had a very hard crush on him, almost a year ago, when he worked in a campaign for a soda. Sasuke was one of the extras, and saw the blue eyed art director, giving indications here and there, smiling warmly to the little boys that were running with the false soda cans for the commercial. He knew he had only one shot to talk to him, since the filming was short and only last for a few hours, but he never had the chance to approach him,since there were almost fifty people on the set, and they were all extras, it was pretty messy.
A year later, the same advertising company call him to offer a photo session for the sport mark, at hearing the name of the company he didn't thought twice, hell, he didn't even knew what the fuck did that mark sold, he was in, but unfortunately, the project manager was not the attractive blond he thought, until Kiba told him about his friend crush with him, and it wasn't until Kiba point him the blond head, walking around the race venue, that he knew he couldn't waste this opportunity.
The blonde smiled seductively - Well, I am an incredible chef, may be something to eat? my place?
Sasuke felt butterflies in his stomach, but keep his face composed- Of course- he said approaching a little more to the blond,
-I like your tattoo by the way- said Naruto taking Sasuke's fore arm and pulling him closer. Impossibly closer.
-Well I like bikes, they are my passion- Sasuke answered simply, looking into blue eyes.
-Hmm, we may have a lot in common, Sasuke- Said Naruto, leaving the other's body closeness and out of words.
-Work fast, I'll wait you outside- the blond winked an eye to the model, trying to hide the trembling of his hands
Sasuke smiled, he would run around the place and then disappeared with the blonde
