The door opened behind him and Naruto heard a small gasp. While still holding the panties he turned around to see a skinny guy standing in the doorway of the bathroom. He had ripped black jeans and a black lucky cat t-shirt. His wet black hair was cut in an edgy style and was wet from being washed.
"Naruto?" The guy asked. Naruto was trying to recall if he had met this person before. "Why are you in my underwear drawer?" The guy had a small blush on his face after asking.
"Oh!" Naruto screamed as he threw the underwear back in the drawer. "I-I am so sorry! You see I was trying to figure out if I had the right room and-" Naruto didn't get to finish.
"Wait, right room? Don't tell me you are my roommate?!" The guy screamed not moving from the bathroom doorway.
"I'm sorry," Naruto said as he stood up. "Do I know you?" He was generally confused.
"Of course you know me! You made my life hell for me in high school! You and all your jock friends!" Sasuke screamed. He was trying his best not to burst into tears. Why out of everyone in the universe did it have to be one of the people that tormented him during high school?
"I what? I never-" Naruto cut himself off. "Wait, are you that gay kid from Kingston High?"
Sasuke was fuming. "How dare you!"
"I am sorry but I never learned your name! I didn't mean for it to come out like that!" Naruto moved to his side of the room while trying to defend himself.
"Yes that was me. Sasuke Uchiha. And now you have come to make my life hell for me in college too right. Was high school not enough?!" Sasuke couldn't help it. He was crying now. He cried so damn easily all the time. The thought of his adventure being ruined because of his sexuality was tearing him apart.
"No please. Sasuke, I am sorry! I don't think I ever actually bullied you but-"
"But you never stopped it! I remember you used to just watch them make fun of me and watch them push me around." Sasuke ran over to his desk, grabbed his room key, phone, and wallet and made his way to the door.
"No please Sasuke, I promise I am not like that I-" but he was cut off as Sasuke left.
Naruto breathed out as he sat on his empty bed. This was all too much. Sure he never bullied Sasuke, but Sasuke was right. Naruto did nothing to stop his friends from picking on Sasuke. This was going to be a long year if things weren't patched up fast. He continue to sit on his bed and stare out the window, trying to think of a solution to all of this.
Sasuke kept crying as he made his way down the stairwell. He probably looked ridiculous to all the parents that were still moving their children into the dorms. He made his way outside to an area that had a couple of benches tucked away behind bushes.
This was not what he wanted. This was supposed to be his fresh start. It was his chance to move on from high school.
I need to calm down. He contemplated calling Kakashi, but it had only been an hour and he didn't want to make the man worry about him more than he already was. He needed to prove that he can handle this.
It is going to be ok. He was not one of the ones that hurt you. Sasuke thought to himself as he tucked his knees to his chest and wrapped his arms around them. The weather was perfect outside. There wasn't a cloud in the sky and it was sunny and warm. The subtle breeze soothed him as he tried to get his nerves together.
Maybe it isn't going to be so bad. I didn't really give him a chance to say anything. Sasuke thought. Out of all the people that bullied him in high school Naruto had to be the best option. I don't think I never really had a conversation with him. Not that I ever got the chance to while I was getting the crap beaten out of me by the other guys. Sasuke sighed.
He didn't like it but he had to give Naruto a chance to make this rooming situation less awkward. Maybe it will eventually work out.
Hey all, I know that this was a really short update. I am so not used to writing short chapters but I feel like it would be easier for me when I start to illustrate this as a web comic. If you have seen my other stories, you could see that I usually write longer updates. I plan to update this twice a week so I can get the plot moving along with small updates. I ask that you please take the time to leave me a review. It really does motivate me and make me a better writer. Please subscribe! Thanks!
