I'm a little excited about the story, so I decided to jump on the next chapter. So, far I've gotten positive reviews from people. But, I still want to hear all the comments, suggestions and ideas for the story. Remember, this is yaoi between Naruto and Konohamaru. So don't read if you don't want to read about boy on boy.
Once again, there isn't a lot of yaoi, and it's pretty safe for everyone. It is coming though I promise. You will see how one side starts to notice the other in a surprising way though. Enjoy.
Chapter 2: Can't keep my eye off you
Naruto walked into senior English class with one minute to spare. He made his way through the classroom as he spotted an empty desk at the back of the room between Kiba and Shikamaru. Several hellos and variations of the like we called out to him as he walked past some of his friends, the first being from Sakura who was promptly seated at the front of the class.
He pulled of his bag and dropped it beside his desk just slouching down into the desk as the bell rang. Naruto instantly noticed that their teacher was still surprising absent from the room, so he decided to greet his friends on either side. "Hey Shikamaru, how's it going?" he asked the friend to his right.
"I'd rather just be in bed if it were my choice," the lazy boy said as he sat leaned over his desk. "I'm not one who's made to sit around in school all day."
Naruto giggled at his friends comment. "Really, I thought that sitting around all day is exactly what you were about," he said. "Well, when you weren't skateboarding at least."
Shikamaru was probably the laziest guy he knew, and the only thing really physical that he had seen the lanky boy out doing was skateboarding. He was probably the best one in the school too.
Naruto then turned his attention to the other brunette boy on his opposite side. "What about you Kiba? You ready for practice this afternoon?" he asked. Naruto had already seen Kiba quite a bit. They had seen each other at football practice during the summer. Kiba was the best athlete in the school, staring quarterback and basketball captain. The Uzumaki however was second string on both of them. Probably because he shared a laziness trait with Shikamaru.
The other boy didn't get a chance to answer though before the teacher walked in. "Sorry everyone," Mr. Kakashi Hatake said as he walked into the middle of the room. "It seems my car had a little trouble getting started this morning."
Naruto already knew that was a lie. He began to drift off into his sleepy mind as he thought about his morning. He wondered how his young friend was fairing in his first class. He knew it wasn't easy the first day, but he hoped the other would be ok. He had taken him all the way to the boy's first class, but he still hoped he would be alright in finding his next one alone, since the blonde wouldn't be able to meet up with him.
Konohamaru sat in his very first class of high school, history. Mr. Ebisu was standing at the front of the room talking about how important history and a good education would be to their futures, but the young brunette wasn't paying attention a word. His mind was currently occupied by thoughts of his blond savior.
He wondered just how strong the older boy was. He remembered that the boy had seemed so strong as a kid, and now he could only be greater. He had shown that too. The bully had been so much bigger than Naruto, but the boy didn't get fazed at all. He had laid the bigger man out cold with a few blows. His mind seemed to drift off as he thought about the boy's strength. He could only image what the boy's body looked like underneath the baggy clothes he had been wearing. His mind drew an image of the Uzumaki; the boy standing in front of him without a shirt. He body would be firm, toned and tanned.
"What did he just say?" a voice said. The freshman nearly jumped out of his skin. He was thankful he didn't shout out as he jerked his head to the side to see that Moegi had been the source of his scare. "Wh-what did you say?" the brunette whispered back the girl.
The red-haired girl leaned back once again and repeated the question. The boy simply shrugged. He didn't have a clue; he had been off in his own world. The girl frowned at the response, but simply leaned over to her other side to ask Udon.
The boy sat silently as he tried to calm himself from the startle. He looked down at his new school notebook. He hadn't taken any notes about what his teacher had said. But, he hadn't written something. The name, "Naruto," had been written there and by his hand. He quickly slipped his hand over the name and glanced around nervously. He flipped his pencil over and erased the name.
He had just finished erasing the name when the bell rang. He started to stand up, but then quickly sat back down. He had a problem. The front of his pants were tenting. His face instantly flushed red in embarrassment. He couldn't believe that he had gotten a hard on when thinking about the older blonde. He tried to kill some time as he put away all his supplies carefully and doing it as slowly as he could without looking suspicious.
Luckily, by the time he had finished. They had gone down enough to not to be obvious. He quickly hurried out of the room and into the crowded hallways as he pulled his bag onto his shoulders.
"Wait up Konohamaru," he heard Moegi call out to him. The Sarutobi didn't respond though, but kept walking. He was just too embarrassed over the situation. If someone asked, he couldn't tell him whom he had really been thinking about; he would never live it down. It would make high school hell for him. The brunette's two friends quickly caught up to him though, and the trio walked together to their next classes.
The rest of the morning was mostly uneventful for the both of them. The Uzumaki continued to greet and catch up with his friends as he passed from class to class like any normal, boring day of school. And the Sarutobi seemed to get his attention back during the rest of his classes, which quickly came after getting glared at by his second period instructor when he started to space off again. And the two had failed to see each other until lunch.
Even then, it was only a quick conversation in passing. The older boy made sure that no one had again tried to mess with his friend, followed by questions of the young boy's day, and any questions about getting around. That was all questions the blonde could as before Kiba came and pulled him away to sit with him and the other football jocks.
The poor brunette was left standing in the cafeteria with a tray full of tasteless chicken for a moment before Moegi and Udon came along and pulled him over to sit with them. That didn't take the young boy's mind off the senior though. He tried not to, but he would occasional catch himself looking up and over at the older boy. The blonde didn't notice the stares though. He was too occupied at the moment talking with Kiba and Shikamaru, who had decided to join the table and despite it being mostly filled with football players.
"Konohamaru?" Moegi said. This shook the brunette out of another one of his across-the-lunchroom stares at the blonde.
"Yeah, what is it?" the brunette asked as he quickly turned his head to look at the girl beside him.
"I was just wondering what you were staring at," she said as she tried to meet where he gaze went, and then guessed. "Naruto Uzumaki?"
The boy almost immediately turned a bit pink. "ummm… yeah," he said. His brain feverously tried to think of a creditable reason. "It's just… he saved me from this bully this morning. And he's just a really impressive fighter is all, and I just never knew. So, I guess I was just in awe."
The girl sat there staring at him for a moment as she thought over his words. "Oh," she simply said before returning to her lunch.
Konohamaru let out a very soft sigh that she had bought his reason. He started to pick up his fork again when he suddenly realized something that confused even him. He wondered, "Why was I really staring at Naruto?"
The boy's didn't meet up until the last period of the day. Konohamaru was heading for his last class alone since his two friends didn't share the same schedule exactly. His last class was physical education, so he was heading for the gym. As he walked toward the hall where he was too go, he noticed the blonde walking ahead of him and hurried to catch up.
"Naruto!" he excitedly shouted out as he came up beside the boy. Naruto looked back over his shoulder and smiled as he saw his young friend coming towards him.
"Hey Konohamaru. How you doing so far? Everything going alright?" the older boy asked.
The freshman gave a nod. "Yeah, I'm just going to my last class now. I got phys. ed. Where you going, boss?" he asked.
"I'm going that way too," Naruto answered. Konohamaru suddenly had a thought as he heard the answer. He might be in the same locker room as the older boy. That idea both excited and terrified him. The idea of seeing the older boy while he undressed seemed to make him excited for some reason that he didn't know. But, the reverse could be said as well. He was nervous about the older boy seeing him change. He was only a freshman had not had a chance to develop much at all since entering puberty. He wasn't sure want to do. However, those thoughts were take away by the older boy's continued statements.
"I got to head that way and get ready for football practice," Naruto said. "So, I'm going actually over to the football area, so I won't see you again today. But, it will be by where your class will be."
That took a little relief off the boy, but saddened him a bit too. "So, you're not going to the same locker room, boss?" he asked to double check.
"No, I'm going to the football team's one," he said. "I don't actually have class this period. But, I figured I would just use it to prepare and lay around before practice."
Naruto suddenly thought back to his freshman days, and why the other might ask. He looked down at the other and gave him a friendly smile. "Don't worry if you are nervous about changing in front of everyone else in there," he said. "It's really not as bad as it seems. The worst will be the first time, but after that don't worry. My advice is be the first to get undressed completely, then you will be the one who sets the standard for everyone else. And if you happen to get hard and people tease you, don't worry because it will probably happen to them too at some point."
Naruto's hand quickly rustled through the boy's brown locks as he smiled. The brunette didn't resist the touch of the other. He was actually enjoyed it and was too intrigued by the idea of the blonde having been in that same situation before.
"Ok, I will," he told the older boy as he stared into the boy's blue orbs. "I will do as you said, boss."
The two had arrived at the locker room for the freshman, so the older one continued on without him, waving over his shoulder as he walked on. The brunette continued to stand there for a moment as he watched the other's ass as the boy walked away before finally going into his locker room.
Naruto reached up to scratch his nose when a light fragrance crossed his nose. He took a deeper whiff. It was a really delightful smile. He then realized it was his own hand. It was the same hand he had messed up the other boy's hair with. He once again took a deep inhale of the faint smell on his hand. It had already mostly faded, but the smell of the other boy's hair was almost intoxicating in even the light odor.
The sound of footsteps from ahead in the hall knocked him out of his state. Kiba was walking towards him with an odd look on his face as he had seen his friend smelling his own hand. Naruto simply laughed and pretended it was nothing.
"Got a weird smell on my hand. Want a whiff?" Naruto said laughing at his own joke.
Kiba came to the locker room door first and held it open to allow the blonde in. "No, thanks," he said. "I don't really want to smell anything of yours. Especially not your body."
"Oh come on Kiba, just a quick whiff," Naruto said as he playfully pushed his hand into the boy's face, forcing his head back a bit before running ahead into the locker room as Kiba quickly gave chase.
