Disclaimer: I (sadly) don't own Naruto.
Naruto breathed slowly in and out as if to savor the feeling. He watched as if mesmerized by the crimson beginning to slowly flow down into the palm of his outstretched hand.
The silence of the room came as haunting reminders of just how alone he felt every day.
Suddenly their was a ear piercing noise "shit" he said. Placing the knife on his bed before running to the source of the offending noise witch was currently his alarm clock. turning it off he sighed relief only to open his eyes and see his blood now dripping onto the floor "shit again" he thought trying to remember how to remove blood from his carpet and failing miserably.
"damn I guess ill have to ask Garra when I get to school" now remembering a still bleeding cut he sighed again feeling again that he was going to be doing so a lot more today.
Within 14 minutes his cut was cleaned and bandaged to his satisfaction. In another 5 min he was dressed. He ran out the door grabbing a cherry pop tart on the way.
Today (he was amazed to discover) he made it to the bus on time (witch wasn't normal for him at all). Naruto was never able to catch the bus before. He always ended up walking but was rarely ever late to class.
He smiled now thinking that today might actually go his way. Well other then the alarm clock interruption. He slowly climbed the steps of the bus wondering if his bandage was visible but continued to walk. Spotting Garra completely alone in his seat he smiled again and sat down. Garra being Garra smiled and they shared a glance that they both knew well, they deemed it the "lets see what their whispering about so we can blackmail them later glance".
Both people in the seat sat quietly listening to the whispers around them. They hear several people say "wow who's that". Some females say "he's really sexy". Just as he thinks "well girls I'm" when somebody interrupts them by saying "he looks like a fag".
Naruto glares and thinks "no" but then the person adds "maybe he's bi at least" and Naruto thinks "now ya got it" with a smile.
Garra seeing his reaction smiles knowingly. Then from the front of the bus they hear "do you think their going out" "what" "Garra and the new guy"
they both froze and Naruto turns to Garra and almost laughs at his now gagging comrade. "Hay Garra" Naruto says "yes" Garra replies as he sees the two motives in his eyes seeing that Garra under stands he says "hey Garra are there always such attractive people on this bus" giving a group of girls and one boy a wink.
Garra then says "thanks" Naruto punches him in the arm before saying "not you, ya ugly son of a bitch" "hey leave my dead mom out of this" he said pretending to be angry
"sadly I miss the bus and have to walk I'm always so tired at school" he said giving a what the girls deemed a sexy stretch.
Almost instantly they heard several girls and a couple of guys say loudly "hey if you need a ride to school I can drive you" and other such things.
Garra smirks knowing Naruto had met his goal on both counts: finding a ride and getting them to not think they were together "damn you're good at that" Naruto replies with a fake smile and a small bow.
He felt a tap on the shoulder and turned to see a girl in the seat behind him in a vary quit gentile voice she seed "um … if … y-you … n-n-need a r-ride I can d-drive you to school … if you want."
He couldn't tell if she was embarrassed or trying to get the girls in front of his seat to stop arguing (he thought their names where Sakura and Ino) or if she was on the verge of a nose bleed so he decided to take pity on her after all she is kind of quit.
He easily said "yes. Id love to. Thank you so much … ill see you later then?" the girls in front immediately stopped in the realization that their chance had been taken.
Naruto smiled at their childishness before turning back to see she had passed out "umm … is she ok" "ya" said the boy next to her "she fainted, my guess from embarrassment and internal nose bleed" "Kay" was all that was said before the bus stopped and started off.
