WHAM.
"Naruto!!" Sasuke yelled, running over to the beautiful boy he had once again knocked over unintentionally.
"Owwwiiie..." The blonde said, gladly taking the hand that Sasuke had shyly offered him. "Sasuke?"
"Yeah...you ok?" Sasuke asked, genuinely concerned, while helping Naruto stand.
"Uh huh." Naruto said, smiling as he regained composure. "Wow, we keep running into each other. First I hit you, and then you hit me...I guess we're even!"
"Heh...oh, yeah..."
"I didn't get a chance to ask you before because we were late for class, but...could I have your phone number?"
The Uchiha blinked, unsure whether he was actually living this moment or whether he was already sitting on his bus, daydreaming... "You want my phone number?"
The blonde blushed a little. "Well...I don't know why, really. I just have this feeling...ummm...It's tough to explain. You know? Sometimes when you just...have a feeling? Well, I have a feeling. Like I might need to talk to you sometime. Or maybe I just might want to for fun. Or...something. Am I making sense?" Naruto blushed deeper, finally looking up at Sasuke's face.
Sasuke laughed a little. "No...but...here..." Sasuke blushed deeply as he reached into Naruto's right pants pocket and pulled out the cell phone that was partially sticking out of it. He programmed his number into it."There...now...call me whenever you feel like it, ok?" His heart leapt, hoping Naruto would call him forever.
Naruto smiled, taking his cell phone back. /;Thanks! I will!/; Naruto's heart also leapt. What was this? It wasn;t quite the same feeling as making a new friend that you really enjoy being around. It was kind of like the feeling some people got when the girl they thought was pretty smiled at them or waved to them. Except Sasuke was a boy...
"Well, my brother is waiting for me." Sasuke bolted out the building, trying to hide the fact that he was letting so much emotion show through. Blushing! What kind of guy blushes? ...The kind of guy who is just starting to like being attracted to boys. Boys like Naruto.
"Bye!!" Naruto waved furiously and also ran home
Sasuke lay awake in his bed. He wasn't tired...in fact, he was still feeling the happiness that had flooded him when Naruto had gotten his phone number. He rarely ever felt this happy, especially when it came from liking a boy. Was he actually beginning to accept it? It was becoming a part of his lifestyle now. There was no way out...
Suddenly, a beeping melody sounded from Sasuke's cell phone on his nightstand. His heart jolted excitedly as he picked it up.
"Hello?" Sasuke answered, trying not to sound too happy.
"Hey, Sasuke! Are you at home? Should I call your home phone?"
It was Sakura. Sasuke's heart sank. He felt guilty feeling disappointed, but...he could talk to Sakura anytime. But he felt like if Naruto didn't call soon, Naruto would disappear forever. Sasuke wished he'd gotten Naruto's number, too...
"Uhh...nah, it's ok. I can talk on my cell." Sasuke answered, trying this time not to sound disappointed.
"Ok. Umm...well, I was wondering if you could bring your jutsu scrolls tomorrow. Remember that day I was absent and you learned about fire and elements? I still don't get it..."
Sasuke was relieved she hadn't wanted to ask him something romantic. He didn't feel like breaking her heart right now. Or telling anyone that he was obsessed with Naruto. "Alright. I'll come to your homeroom before the bell rings tomorrow morning and give them to you."
"Ok...thanks a bunch! I'll see you tomorrow!"
"'kay"
"By--"
He hung up his cell phone in such a rush, Sakura ignored the sign. It was 9:30. Naruto probably wasn't going to call him...He had said that he wanted Sasuke's phone number incase he ever needed or wanted to talk to him, right? So the fact that he wasn't calling could mean that Naruto was happy with things and had no scruples to be worked out. That was a good thing, Naruto being happy. Sasuke decided it was time to stop waiting and get some sleep. If he missed the bus the next morning, he wouldn't be able to give Sakura his scrolls. He rolled over on his side and slept.
