Warning : Shounen Ai love NarutoxSasuke And sadly not much humor as i hoped.
Sasuke Uchiha is a 16-year-old boy attending his local public high school. He's the top ninja at his age, you know the usually silent yet most skillful person in the classroom. He gets outstanding grades, has a lot of friends, and is the president of the blade society. Watched his mother and father being killed by his only sibling Itachi when he was 10. After awhile the 2 brothers began to forgive. And become close. Thought that haunting memory made him seem always an angry, bitter sort of person, but he was never as bitter as in his sophomore year. He began to be unable to control his growing attraction to his own gender. This upseted him. He was already different from everyone, he often thought. Why did he need another reason for people to alienate him? None of his friends knew...He coudldn't tell them. Was there no one who would see through his mask and accept him? Was there no one who would attempt to comfort him and bring him to terms with himself?
Naruto Uzumaki is quite the opposite, and in a sense, the very same as our friend Sasuke. Naruto is a freshman in the same high school as Sasuke. He trains as much with his kunais as he can. He is an intelligent (but acts like an idiot), cheerful, and a physically healthy teenager. Being a bit naive, rarely anything can upset him. Not even the disgusted looks he gets from the villagers. The fact that he continually notices himself looking over the bodies of his male classmates only confuses him slightly. It hasn't yet occurred to him that he might just be attracted to boys. Eventually he'll have to realize it, right?
This is the story of how these two teenagers circumstances brought them together. This is the story of each boy helping the other to acceptance and to comfort.
"Damn..." Sasuke silently swore to himself as he snapped his head forward.
He had been unintentionally staring at one of his teammate's chests. He blushed lightly and frowned. He then sighed. Was there really any point stopping it? No matter how willful he was to be straight and to ogle girls like all his male friends, he just couldn't. He liked guys.
Sasuke lifted himself up after failing an exercise. He grabbed a towel and dried himself off from his sweat, mentally cursing himself.
"Hey, Sasuke!" a cheerful voice called.
"Oh great..." Sasuke whispered to himself as he recognized the voice to be that of his only obsessivly obsessed friend Sakura. It wasn't that Sasuke disliked Sakura... he just really disliked how she has an uncontrollabe annoyance to him. He knew he wasn't attracted to her or any girl for that matter, and he was afraid of hurting her (emotionally). It was already bad enough that he thought she would judge him simply for being gay. Now he had to break her heart, too?
"That was a great flip.." Sakura said when she had arrived at Sasuke's side.
"Thanks..." Sasuke said, a note of nonchalance in his voice.
"I was thinking of trying out for the blade society, think i have a shot??"
"Sure. Youve got the arms for it."
Lovely, now he was flattering her. He didnit want to make her think he liked her...It would make the blow that much harder. However, he also didnit want to seem uninterested in what she had to say. She was the only person close enough to understand...
"Really?" She answered, excitedly, "Thanks! I hope I can make it. I'll probably come here and practice during the off-season so I can be ready."
"That's a good idea. Go for it."
"And..."
Uh oh. She looked a little nervous...
"Do you think maybe you could come with me sometimes? And show me some things? It could be fun...Just the two of us." Sakura innocently smiled at him. Then, seeing that she made Sasuke uncomfortable, she quickly added,
"Well, if you want, you could bring some of your teammates...I mean, the more the merrier, right? And getting tips from two people is better than getting tips from one...I guess..."
"Umm...it'd be cool. We could get together." Sasuke calmly added, a little ashamed of himself for leading her on this way.
"Great!"
Leading or not, Sakura was happy. She hugged him tightly around the neck quickly and then let him go.
"Well..." she began, "I guess I'll go. See you tomorrow!"
"Bye."
With that, Sakura was off on her way again, walking home from school. Sasuke pulled a shirt over his head and decided to take walk home ninja style.
The next morning, Naruto was running late from Strategic class. He had stayed to talk with the teacher about a grade. It wasn't a big deal as the teacher had given him a late pass, but he didn't want to be too late for his next class: gym. It was his favorite class of the day, especially when they had kunai practice. NAruto ran blindly down the hallway, his mind tunnel-visioned on the thrill of the game that he loved so much. He sharply turned a corner...
WHAM.
Naruto flew backwards and Sasuke cried out, surprised.
"Ahh!! Oww..." Naruto sat up and rubbed his forehead where it had hit the taller boy's chin.
"WOAH you alright?!" Sasuke stumbled over to him, blushing a little, and helped him stand.
"I...I'm fine! Thanks...umm...Sorry I wasn't watching where I was going!" The Blonde apologized, still rubbing his forehead.
Sasuke mentally cursed himself as he never had before. He thought Naruto was cute. No. Downright adorable. Irresistable. His face was cheerful and carefree, his chest was slightly muscled, he was thin, his, Oh no. Sasuke moved the history book he was carrying inconspicuously in front of the bulge in his shorts. He was furiously red in the face.
Naruto stared innocently at him, no idea what had just gone on. But he felt a twinge of admiration for the taller boy in front of him. He wasn't sure why, but he liked it. Kunai practice left his mind for a moment.
"My name's Naruto." He said happily.
"Uh...umm...S-Sasuke." Sasuke stumbled out uncomfortably, hoping to God the young one hadn't noticed his situation.
"Umm...are you hurt?" the blonde asked, his voice concerned.
"Uh...n-no. Don't worry about it..." "But...you look flustered. Are you sure I didn't hurt you?"
Sasuke sort of laughed at the thought that the petit Naruto could have hurt his taller, stronger, and tougher body. He shook the thought out of his head, deciding to make a break for it.
"You didn't...don't worry. Umm...you can...go ahead to class. You're already late..." Sasuke said, avoiding eye contact.
"Oh, it's ok!" Naruto said, happily flashing his pass, "I've got a late pass. Although...I like gym a lot. We're having kunai practice! I'm on the team (yes there's a team.. a kunai throwing team.. lol..) , so I like it a lot."
"Oh, go ahead to practice." Sasuke smiled the best he could, which wasn't very good. Uchihas don't smile much. Is it a trait?! Damn you ancestors!
But Naruto appreciated it all the same. A light fluster crossed his face as he smiled back. "Ok...bye bye!"
They both continued on their separate ways, Naruto to practice and Sasuke to history. Sasuke took the history book away. He was calmer now, thank God. No need to hide anymore..."Was he blushing...?" he thought, rather hopefully.
Upon arriving to kunai practice, Naruto eagerly got changed into his orange jump suit and successfully joined the group, the thought of his new sophomore friend still lingering in his mind. He hoped he'd get to see him again.
Sasuke sat down in his history class, apologizing somewhat angrily for being late and trying to explain why, making some things up as he went along. When the teacher had finally left him alone, he resumed taking notes. These notes became rather bland, so he spiced them up by doodling Naruto's name a few times...He had given up cursing himself by now. It was no use. After laying eyes on the blonde, all hope of being a girl-ogling heterosexual was lost in the mists.
