WARNING!!!!!!!!: STOP READING HERE IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST YAOI AT AL…of course this chapter doesn't actually have a whole lot of boy/boy action…at all…
Oh well.
Gaa-kun: Whatever, let's just start.
Naruto un-crumpled the letter once more before quickly scanning it and stuffing it back into his coat pocket. The last period had just ended and the halls that had been empty only seconds before were filled with loud, rambunctious high school kids happy to be finally going home. Normally Naruto would be joining them in the homeward bound mob but today was different.
Ever since his first class the blond boy had found his mind constantly wandering. That is not something that was uncommon for Naruto but the object of his thoughts was different from usual. All day all Naruto could think about was Sasuke and his note. He had been pulling his hair out since science trying to figure out the note's meaning. Sasuke didn't hate him? How? Why?
'This is just too confusing,' Naruto thought, inwardly sighing.
Naruto shoved all the books he need into his backpack before heading towards the curb on autopilot. He needed to talk to someone about this but he had no real friends that were close enough. His guardian, Iruka, would be more than happy to help Naruto but the boy knew he could not talk to his father figure about this.
'That's it. I know what I'm going to do.' Naruto set off it a purposeful walk toward the tan jaguar that he knew belonged to his science teacher, Kakashi. He always rode home with Kakashi because his guardian and history teacher always stayed later to work. Kakashi didn't stay after because, he claimed, he "did all the work at home."
'Yeah right. How does Kakashi stay employed? More importantly, how can Iruka still be dating him? '
Naruto put his backpack in the trunk before climbing in beside the silver haired man. On the ride home they said nothing. There was nothing that needed to be said. As they pulled up in the driveway of Naruto's small but cozy home, Naruto hopped out of the still moving car (A/N Don't worry, Kakashi had already slowed down to very close to a halt.) and with a final wave pulled his back pack out and headed towards the front door. He took out a small silver key from his pocket and unlocked the door. Naruto smiled as he saw the familiar splotches or orange on the door. It was left over from when Naruto had tried to paint the entranceway his favorite color one night when he was alone in the house. When Iruka saw it he was furious and made him clean it all off. Now all that was left of it was the places were the paint just refused to come up.
Naruto pushed open the door and walked into his house. Leaving his stuff on the couch the blond trudged up the stairs and went into his bedroom. To anyone else the abusive amount of orange in such a small space would be almost sickening but to Naruto it was perfect. He sat down on his bed (A/N Orange, by the way.), pulled a pen and an already crumpled piece of paper out of a nearby drawer, and got to work.
The next day Naruto stuck a small piece of crumpled parchment into Sasuke's locker before heading to his first class.
Sasuke opened his locker to find a small note stuck between his history book and English binder. His first reaction to it was to ignore it as a stupid love note from one of his pathetic stalkers but as it was not pink and scented like usual he picked it up and unfolded it. He read it over once, twice, three times. Contrary to what he had originally thought it wasn't from some hideously bubbly fan girl. It was a note from none other than the dobe himself.
Teme,
I never knew you were one to be that soft. :P
Uchiha, I can't get myself to stop thinking of that note you gave me. I know that it's just a failed attempt at a prank and if it is, Uchiha, I want to tell you one thing. You messed with the wrong guy. But if it is really true and you want to be my friend, I need to know.
Geez. This is so not like me. Look what you did to me Sasuke. Maybe your prank wasn't as un-affective as I thought. I mean look at what I've resorted to. Naruto Uzumaki is not one to write sappy notes like this to anyone. Especially you. You are my rival, Sasuke, and no matter what that is what you will always be. I wish that wasn't the case but it is.
Please write me back. I want the truth. No, I need the truth.
-You know who I am
Me: Review! Don't forget to join me next chaptie:D
Gaa-kun: The end peoples.
