Chapter Two
Sasuke's house.
*beep* *beep* *beep*
The sleepy Uchiha slowly opened his onyx eyes.
"Fuck."
Getting out of bed was the last thing he wanted to do. It was just too easy to stay in the warmth of the covers and dose off. If only, he thought, if only.
"Damned alarm. Shut up already."
He lazily stretched an arm out from under the blankets searching for the thing, only to beat it half to a pulp to get it shut the hell up.
After laying there for a few moments and sulking, he finally forced himself out of bed and to the bathroom for his shower.
Different day, same old grind.
He ate his breakfast, saw his mother off, and bolted out the door. Except today, instead of being a loner, he was going to see that Uzumaki kid again. 'Damn, that boy is attractive,' he was thinking this to himself and grinned devilishly.
First period.
Once he got inside the classroom, Naruto was already there, sitting at the same desk as yesterday.
"Yo, there, Naruto."
The blonde looked up and smiled. "Hi."
"I'm beat, man. Fuck school." Sasuke continued to take his seat, throwing his bag to ground and turning towards Naruto.
The Uzumaki laughed at him and said, "That's why I go to bed early."
"Yeah, but I can't. Even if I try, I can't. I just end up laying there and day dreaming."
"You do that in class, too, ya know."
"No I don't."
"I saw you yesterday and were totally day dreaming."
"Okay, so what if I was?"
"Nothing." He answered with a smile.
"Yeah, that's what I thought." Sasuke said this with attitude and yawned.
A few minutes later the bell rang as class begun. They didn't speak during the entire period, rather sat and tried to soak in whatever the hell the teacher was talking about. Sasuke never really payed attention in class but he somehow managed to get away with good grades. How was beyond him.
When the class finally ended the two boys stood up and gathered their things.
"Here, let me walk with you again." Sasuke said.
"You don't have to, I remember where the room is."
"Yeah, but I want to."
This made him smile and Sasuke drooled on the inside from that. He was in love with that Uzumaki's bright smile. As they were walking down the hall, it was then when Sasuke realized just how different he acted around this boy. Usually, he was gruff and stoic, careful not to show his emotions. But around this kid, he just couldn't help it. He grinned so much it almost made him sick. 'God damn,' he thought, 'I don't think I've ever been so nice to someone my entire life. And shit, it's only the second day I've met him!'
During lunch, the two were sitting together again, eating their shitty school meals.
"I can't believe they feed us this crap." Sasuke started.
Naruto shrugged. "You are eating it though, so it can't be that bad."
"No way, this is just 'cause I'm hungry. If I wasn't, I wouldn't eat it. It tastes disgusting." He pried at the wrapper along his water bottle and ripped it off, balling it up and tossing it at Naruto's face.
"Yes, Goal!" He shouted and laughed at him.
"Very funny, jerk."
The two of them laughed together and soon enough, the dismissal bell rang.
Sasuke had a pouty look on his face. "Nh. I really don't wanna go to my next class."
He glanced at Naruto and immediately thought of an idea.
"Hey, Naruto. What do you say we blow off the rest of the day?"
The Uzumaki looked up at him a little concerned. "But... I've never done that before."
"Heh, there's a first time for everything."
Somewhat against his will, Naruto went along with Sasuke. They were careful not to be seen as they sneaked away.
"Where are we going?" Naruto asked.
"You'll see."
Sasuke led him a block or two past the school and behind someone's house, proceeding through the back of their yard and to the mild forest behind it.
"Back here? But-"
"You'll see." Sasuke interrupted.
The wound up deep in the forest territory, coming face with a wide creek. On the cross side of it there was a makeshift bench. They stopped here and Sasuke turned towards the boy.
"Well?" He asked.
"It is... Beautiful down here."
Sasuke walked down towards the creek and jumped stones to the other side. "I know."
Naruto followed suit after him. "How did you find this place?"
"Back in Freshman year, when I would cut class I went exploring for a place to go to. And I found this."
"It's so peaceful."
"Yeah, and especially during this time of year, when the leaves are falling in reds and yellows."
Sasuke took a seat on the makeshift bench and motioned Naruto to join him.
"So what do you do when you come here?"
"Well, nothing, I guess. Just sit back and watch. It's like an escape for me, you could say."
He was surprised at how open he was being. He was never like this. Not in a million years. Why was being around this boy any different?
Naruto took a seat next to Sasuke and smiled. "That's good." He replied.
Something about this boy just made him feel at ease, like he could trust him, even after only two days. He looked over at Naruto who was staring up into the trees, watching the leaves dance in the breeze. He looked so content. That messy blonde hair, those round azure eyes, his golden skin. He felt like he was looking at a god.
"Oi, you're staring again. Or was that day dreaming. One of those?" The Uzumaki asked this question with humor in his tone.
"Tch. I told you, I do not do that, you dobe!"
The blonde tilted his head at this and smirked. "You terrible liar."
The Uchiha pouted to the words.
"What is it you were dreaming about today?" He continued.
Sasuke pondered on these words for a minute, disputing how to answer. He sighed and said, "You want to know what I was thinking, huh?"
The boy shook his head in agreement.
"Ok," he shrugged his shoulders, "I will tell you."
Was he really going to do this? Sasuke Uchiha?! He was, right here and now and he didn't care.
Sasuke lifted his hand towards the boys face and gently grabbed his chin.
"What are you...-"
He was cut off in shock as the Uchiha bent his head down to Naruto's. He looked him in they eyes for just a moment and leaned in to carefully place his lips on the other boys. He pressed against his warm lips and they tasted sweet. Naruto did not resist but he hadn't kissed him back either so the Uchiha broke free to see a baffled Naruto.
"Sorry," he muttered, turning a light shade of red.
Naruto was still looking at him without saying a word.
"Stop giving me that look, I said I was sorry. I didn't mean to but you said you wanted to know so-"
He was interrupted by Naruto's laughter.
"Forget it." He mumbled angrily and went to stand up but a hand stopped him from going any further.
It was Naruto and he had a serious look on his face and said, "Don't go."
"Why the hell shouldn't I?" The Uchiha snapped back.
"Cause I don't want you to."
Sasuke stood there staring at him with a mixture of confusion and anger. He tried to pull away once again but the boy didn't loosen his grip. Instead, he stood up in front of Sasuke and looked up at him.
The Uchiha's brow furrowed at this as he cocked his head a little. 'What is he..?'
Naruto then wrapped his arms around the back of Sasuke and leaned his head against his chest. Sasuke stood totally shocked at first, and then slowly pulled the boy closer to him.
"Don't go." Naruto said. "Stay."
'What is going on?' The Uchiha thought. The expression on his face was mixed. And then, relief. 'Shit.'
The Uzumaki pulled back and his face was bright red. "Don't be mad." He said pleadingly.
"Mad? At what?"
He shook his head and sat back down on the bench, fidgeting with his hands.
Sasuke took a seat next to him and waited for an answer. "Tell me?"
"It's just that... Well I've never really had a friend before, let alone someone do that to me... And I'm just... Scared."
"Hn." Sasuke thought a moment before he answered. He looked at the boy and let a tiny grin. "Don't be scared, you dobe."
He pouted at this. "Don't call me that."
Sasuke shrugged with a smirk on his face.
"Why did you.. do that?"
Sasuke pondered this 'Hmm. This kid is so clueless. He's quirky but he's cute as shit.'
"Well, because." He started as he crossed his arm behind his head. "I like you, of course." He didn't want to go into detail because hell, he barely knew the guy. He didn't understand it either but there was something about that Uzumaki...
"Oh, okay." He shook his head in thought, "but I haven't decided if I like you yet."
Sasuke's jaw dropped at the words. He would have been pissed if it weren't for the fact that in a weird way, it almost turned him on.
"What the hell?! What do you mean you 'haven't decided' yet?!" Sasuke shoved the boy hard in the arm.
"Ow.." He puffed his cheeks and rubbed his arm.
The Uchiha watched him do this and couldn't help but to grin at him devilishly. 'That cute face...' He then grabbed the boys hand gingerly.
"Sorry, dobe." He laughed.
The Uzumaki's face turned red. "I said don't call me that, you teme!"
Sasuke wasn't even mad. Every word that came out of those damned sweet lips he found pleasure in.
"Naruto," he started "you're something else that's for sure." He had a smug look on his face. He then stood up and stretched. "Well, see you later. I'm gonna go home and pass the fuck out."
"Already?" The look on his face was panicked. "What am I suppose to do alone here, school is still in, I can't go home!"
Sasuke yawned. "Then don't."
"But I have no where else to go.."
"Anywhere, dork. Go do whatever you want, have some fun."
With that, the Uchiha winked at him and walked off, leaving a confused and nervous Naruto. 'Dobe.'
Later that night, the Uchiha was sitting in front of a plate full of food at the dinner table. He was poking at the food and moving it around, looking out of it.
"Sasuke, why aren't you eating?" His mother asked.
He shrugged, "Not hungry."
His mother and father looked at each other and sighed simultaneously. "Is everything okay, sweetie?"
Sasuke growled. He hated being called that. He wasn't a child anymore, whether they were willing to accept that or not. "I'm just not hungry, okay. I've got a lot on my mind."
His mother blushed and giggled at him, "Oh, sweetie, is it a girl? Do you have a crush on someone?"
"Mom! No!" He turned red and mumbled something unintelligible.
"It is! My boy, he finally has a little crush!"
Sasuke shot her an evil glare. "Mom. Shut up."
His mother rolled her eyes at this and continued eating with awe.
After dinner, Sasuke was up late at his desk working on some school work. 'This shit is so useless' he thought. He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. 'I wonder what he did once I left. I hope he didn't go do something stupid. That kid is such a dope.' He grinned at his thoughts and sighed. 'I've got to find a way to make him mine.'
The next morning, a Friday, he woke up late and had to skip his shower. He hated nothing more than to skip a hot shower. Being dirty made him cringe and put him in a pissy mood (more than his usually pissyness, anyways).
Once at school he took his seat and slumped down into it hard, laying his head on the desk.
"Are you alright, Sasuke?" The pink haired girl was at it again.
"No. Get away from me."
"But..."
He looked up at her and raised an eyebrow, agitated. "Well, what is it?" He asked. The Uzumaki was sitting next to him, watching the whole ordeal.
"I was just worried about you." She said this nervously with her hands tied behind her back.
"You don't even know me. So stop saying shit like that. Please, go I want to talk to this dobe over here." He motioned his finger towards the blonde one.
The girl stood for a moment red in the face and looking confused. "Why would you want to talk to that guy. He's a complete loser, unlike you, Sasuke, you're so cool!" She was giddy and losing herself in her thoughts about the Uchiha.
The words were enough to set him off. "Who the hell do you think you are? Don't fucking call him that! If anyone is a loser, it's you! You're pathetic, you try to seduce me damn near every day. I don't fucking like you. Get it through your damn head."
'Holy shit...' That's what everyone's face was looking like. The whole class heard what just happened. They were all staring at him, including Naruto. Sakura had a tear well in her eye and she ran away, out of the class door.
"Damn!" "Oh!" His classmates were yelling various pumps in excitement. "He told that bitch!"
Sasuke wasn't paying any attention, instead he was staring down at his desk with an indifferent look on his face. His mind was blank.
"Sasuke..?" He looked to see a mortified Naruto's face.
'Fuck. Now he's probably scared of me. Way to go, Sasuke.' He thought.
Thank god the teacher was not around to hear what had just happened. Sasuke never answered him throughout the length of the class. He didn't know what to say. He was pissed at that stupid girl and himself, as well.
Once class ended, Naruto went to leave but the Uchiha stopped him.
"I'm sorry.. For what I said earlier."
The blonde shook his head "It's none of my business. Don't apologize."
Sasuke looked at him with his onyx eyes in a very pleading way. "Don't be scared of me." He sighed. "I just lost it when she called you that. No way I was going to let her just stand there and say about you."
Naruto's eyes widened at the words. "Because of.. Me?"
Sasuke nodded. "I told you. Don't take that bullshit from anyone. I won't let you be pushed around like that."
"I.." The Uzumaki had no idea how to response. He had never had someone stand up for him in his entire life. He smiled in response and Sasuke almost felt his heart stop. The two then split paths and walked off to their own classes. The entire time, he could not get the smile of that Uzumaki off his mind. He tried but there was no stopping it.
Lunch.
Sasuke was sitting alone at the table. The blonde one hadn't come yet. He was eating the shit food when suddenly someone sat down right next to him.
"Oi. I saw how you yelled at that girl earlier. Totally bad ass!" Suigetsu Hozuki. He slowly looked up at him with squinted eyes. He had white hair and a long face, with sharp eyes to match. He was slender and had an athletic build. Every now and then the guy would come up and talk to Sasuke. He didn't mind it as much. He actually took strange pleasure in the fact that he knew this guy liked him. And sometimes, he even entertained the idea.
"Go away, Suigetsu."
"Aw, come on. That was badass and you know it." The white haired boy was eyeing Sasuke from head to toe.
"I didn't do it for your pleasure. Now go away, I'm eating."
The boy had a sly look about him. "I can help you with that."
Sasuke punched him in the groin at the words. "Don't say shit like that to me."
"That hurt, you know." He replied in a strained voice. "Don't be so difficult, I know you like it."
Sasuke sighed an continued eating, ignoring the boys advances. Then, Naruto came from behind and took a seat across from them. "Hey!" He said excitedly with a smile across his face.
Again, the smile nearly stopped his heart and Sasuke choked on his food.
"Are you okay?" The blonde one asked him with the tilt of his head.
'Smooth one.' He thought. "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." He wiped his mouth off and continued, "How is your day going, dobe?" He said this as he realized he forgot completely about the other one sitting next to him.
"Ahem." Suigetsu cleared his throat. "Who is this?" He asked, snobbish and defensive.
The Uzumaki turned red. "This is Naruto." Sasuke introduced him with pride.
Naruto grinned nervously at Suigetsu, who proceeded to give him a dirty look. Naruto quickly looked downward in response.
"I see." Suigetsu turned back towards Sasuke and whispered to him, "Sasuke, what do you say we forget this queer and go have lunch alone together, eh?"
Sasuke pulled back from him, forming a fist and forcing himself not to kill the guy right then and there. He breathed in deeply and exhaled. "No thank you." He replied with a smile. "I'd rather have lunch with this blondie right here." His eyes motioned towards Naruto, who was turning red.
Suigetsu was pissed and you could see it all over his face. He wanted the Uchiha alone for himself and felt threatened by this new boy. He gritted his teeth and shot the Uzumaki another shitty look before getting up and leaving in a fit.
Sasuke laughed quietly at that. "Don't worry about him. He's just jealous."
"Why would he be jealous?" Naruto was totally confused.
"Because." The Uchiha took another bite of his food. "He likes me and I could less. He's jealous because I'm with you and not him."
Naruto turned red at the checks. "Oh." He swallowed hard.
Sasuke looked at him and grinned, before nudging the blonde in the shoulder with his fist. Naruto looked up at him and laughed nervously.
"My day has been a good one, so far. Teme."
The Uchiha was a little shocked at his words, but careful not to show it. "Good."
They finished off the rest of their lunch with casual conversation until the bell rang. "Naruto. Come here." Sasuke motioned for him with his hand.
"Yeah?"
"Give me your arm."
Naruto furrowed his brow. "What? Why?"
Sasuke sighed. "Just give it here."
Naruto moved his arm towards Sasuke, who grabbed it and pulled a pen out of his back pocket. He then proceeded to write a number across the boys forearm. His golden skin was smooth to the touch.
"There." Sasuke said satisfied.
"What is it?"
"You dobe! It's my cell phone number. Text me later so we can hangout tomorrow."
The Uzumaki opened his eyes wide. "We're going.. to hangout?"
Sasuke nodded with a smirk. "See you, Naruto." He waved and walked away from the Uzumaki feeling confident.
At home, Naruto had just got back from school. He dragged himself up the stairs and to his room where he fell on the bed. He looked at his arm and traced his fingers over the numbers etched in his skin. He smiled.
'Okay, I'm going to text him.'
He then pulled his phone out of his pocket and entered in the number. He stared at his phone before entering anything.
'Oh, I don't know what to say.' He thought with a finger against his lip. 'Why is it making me so nervous? I've never felt like this before...'
*zzzt*
Sasuke felt a vibration coming from his pocket. He pulled his phone out and had a new message.
'I hope it's him.'
Sure enough, he checked the message and it read:
Oi, Sasuke =^.^=
'Did he really just send me that stupid face?' Sasuke laughed and replied:
Dobe, you are weird.
The conversation continues...
So are you, teme (,_,)"
Do you always send stupid faces?
Hmm, not always ;-3
'Is that... A winky face?!' Sasuke thought and grinned before replying.
Let's do something tomorrow.
Like what?
You decide.
He didn't get a reply for a few minutes.
We can go to the park.
Ew, the park.
We don't have to (T - T)
Sasuke rolled his eyes at the text. 'Tears? Seriously?'
I'll be there.
Really?
Yes, meet me at 2.
Ok! :-D
Until then, dobe.
Sasuke put his phone back in his pocket and sighed. 'What an airhead. The park it is.' At that thought he then prepared for bed, and surprising, he fell asleep almost instantly.
