{Ok... so I was a little disappointed about the turn out of readers for the prologue but I guess that's to be expected considering I haven't posted anything since December. So for those of you that did read it and liked it enough to come back for more... here ya go! Hope you like it}
Naruto walked into school just as the warning bell rang. He sighed. He was going to be late. Again. He hurried to the second floor where his locker was. After several minutes of helplessly struggling with his lock he heard a chuckle behind him. He sucked in a deep breath, only one person had a chuckle that could sound amused and arrogant like that all at one. Mentally preparing himself, Naruto half turned to throw an irritated look over his shoulder at the raven standing behind him.
"What Uchiha? Shouldn't you be in class?" Naruto growled as he continued to pull at the lock hopelessly. He heard Sasuke emit an annoyed sigh before he felt a shoulder shove him over.
"Hey! What the hell?" He yelled angrily until he saw the boy give a small pull to the lock and turn to smirk at him as it fell open. The blonde's mouth dropped open as he once again realized how incredibly unfair life was.
"Dobe." Sasuke mumbled before turning to leave. A hand on his shoulder stopped him from walking more then three steps. He looked over his shoulder at an upset tan face.
"Don't. Call. Me. That." The blonde whispered menacingly before giving Sasuke a rough push that sent him stumbling forward. Sasuke gave him another superior glare before hoisting his bag back onto his shoulder and striding imperiously down the nearly empty hallway.
Naruto stood at his locker, breathing heavily as he tried to collect his thoughts. His heart beat unevenly against his chest. Emotions raced through his body: anger, annoyance, lust, need… The last two were the hardest to overcome. He stood there for another minute or so until his breathing slowed and his heart rate slowed. Then he reached into his locker and quickly pulled out his books for first period Calculus. Just as he was slamming his locker shut, the final bell rang, signaling the beginning of homeroom and another hour after school for Naruto.
"Shit." He sighed as he walked down the hallway leisurely since he was already late. Miss Shizune's gonna kill me. He sighed as he reached the door at the end of the hallway. He squared his shoulders and swung the door open, only to immediately flinch back again.
"This is the third day in a row Naruto!" Miss Shizune yelled, hands her hips. Naruto smiled sheepishly, stretching his hand back behind his neck and scratching it idiotically. He quickly pulled his arm back down and shifted his weight from foot to foot. I seriously need to kick that habit.
"Ne, Shizune-sama. My locker wouldn't open." He whined as he crossed his fingers behind his back, hoping she would accept the excuse… again.
"Naruto, you use that excuse every time you're late." Naruto hung his head and shuffled his feet. He hated the way the whole class was snickering and whispering behind their hands, as if they were trying to make it seem like they cared if he overheard. Shizune looked out to the class, not quite glaring, but her gaze was not kind. She looked back at Naruto with softer eyes before clicking her tongue.
"I'll let you go this time. Go sit down." Naruto's head flew up, blonde waves flying, as his face broke out into a large smile that made Shizune's gaze soften even more. She threw her head to the side slightly, signaling for him to sit down and he laughed lightly before jogging back to his seat, located behind Sasuke's. When he reached it he plopped down heavily, letting out a puff of air and aloud his messenger bag to fall to the ground with a loud thump. He looked forward, his eyes meeting a pair of obsidian ones, causing his mind to fill with the images from his dream the night before. He blushed slightly as he tried to push the images away long enough to focus on Sasuke's moving lips.
Bad idea. Naruto thought as he imagined those lips doing incredibly sinful things to his body. Bad bad! Naruto scolded his mind as he bit his lower lip, only slightly aware of the smirk making itself at home on Sasuke's pale face.
"Oi, dobe." Sasuke's low voice broke through Naruto's many layers of lust as he lifted his head up to look at his best friend. Instead of looking right into his eyes though, since that had already proved itself dangerous, his electric eyes strayed to the glossy raven bangs hanging down around the pale face.
"Don't call me that, teme!" He said trying to make his voice sound intimidating but it didn't work as well as he would've liked it to, which made Sasuke's smirk grow even wider.
"Something bothering you… dobe?" Sasuke chuckled lightly as he watched Naruto's eyes slip into a glare.
"I hate you teme." Naruto said in an acid tone that would've made anyone else flinch. Sasuke, however, just shook his head before turning around and facing the front of the room as their teacher began to take attendance. Naruto continued to glare at his back but as Sasuke's hand swept back, running through his hair, Naruto sighed and leaned forward on his hand. It's impossible to stay mad at him. He thought as he let another sigh out before smiling at the teacher when she called his name. She rolled her eyes and Naruto chuckled before resting his head down on the desk, waiting for the bell for the end of homeroom.
Sasuke sighed as he slammed his locker shut, trying to keep his emotions in check. Before turning around, he arranged his face so it was in its normal emotionless mask. When he turned his head slammed into something hard and a resounding hollow sound echoed through the nearly empty hallway.
"Fuck! What the hell teme?!" Naruto loud voice broke through Sasuke's pain. Sasuke raised his head and looked at him. He had to keep himself from laughing as he watched the blonde rub furiously at a growing bump on his forehead.
"I wouldn't have run into you if you hadn't been standing so fucking close! Why the hell didn't you say anything?" Sasuke watched as a small blush lit up Naruto's face as he backed up a few steps. Hmmm. Now that's interesting. Why are you blushing Naruto? Sasuke took two steps forward, bringing himself almost groin to groin with Naruto. He smirked as the light blush spread on the blonde's face and his electric blues widened and stared up at the raven in front of him. That is so much fun. Sasuke chuckled to himself as he winked at Naruto, watched him nearly have a heart attack, and walked off towards the cafeteria for lunch.
"W-Wait up Sasuke!" Naruto yelled down the hall, stumbling slightly as he tried to catch up. Poor Naruto.Sasuke said as a small smile, a real smile, turned the corner off his perfect lips up. When Naruto reached his side, the smile was safely tucked away and his usual scowl was back.
"Ya know Sasuke, if you continue to scowl all the time your face is gonna be stuck like that. That's what Jaraiya told me because he thinks I smile too much." Sasuke couldn't help but chuckle at that. Of course Jaraiya would say that. Naruto perverted guardian enjoyed messing with Naruto almost as much as Sasuke did. And it was no wonder why, with an adoptive son as gullible as Naruto, it was hard to refrain from.
"You're so gullible dobe." Sasuke mumbled, still attempting to keep the smile off his face and out of his voice. Naruto looked up at him, eyebrows pulling together cutely as he seemed to contemplate what had been said. Obviously he didn't come up with anything that offered proof otherwise.
"Teme." He whispered as he stuck his tongue out cutely, dragging a chuckle out of the raven for what seemed like the millionth time that day.
"Real mature Naruto." Just then the pair reached the cafeteria doors and simultaneously sighed before walking into the large room filled with hundreds of conversations. For a private school, their school had a significant amount of students. Their numbers totaled almost a thousand including the sixty or so staff members. The school was extremely lenient on the dress code. Boys had khaki pants and as long as they wore some kind of button up shirt and tie it didn't matter what they did to the uniform. Girls had a green and navy blue plaid, multi-pleated skirt and everything else they could change to their liking.
Upon entering the over crowded room, the two immediately spotted their friends as Naruto laughed warmly at Kiba standing on their table, waving his hands like an idiot. Sasuke rolled his eyes and followed the blonde's receding back. As he followed the ball of sunshine, he admired the blonde locks that frolicked upon the bobbing head and brushed almost lovingly against the sun kissed forehead. Strong shoulder moved to and fro as toned arms swung back and forth, fingertips brushing against strong thighs. Hips rolled gently as one foot was placed in front of the other. Sasuke almost moaned as he watched Naruto's very sexy ass move to the rhythm of his hips.
Breaking from his trance, the raven picked up his pace and joined the boisterous blonde at the table of their friends. Shikamaru and Neji greeted him with a stoic nod, followed by a slap on the back from Kiba and a smile and "hello my youthful friend" from Lee. Sakura and Ino stopped their gossiping for a few seconds to give Sasuke a wave before turning to stare at someone at another table. Sasuke was still thankful for their switches in interest. It was common knowledge now that Sakura had given up her long time crush on Sasuke and was now interested in none other then Mr. Unpredictable himself. Although it surprised Sasuke that Naruto was not more excited by the fact that the pink haired girl practically fawned over him.
Sasuke rolled his eyes as he watched Kiba whisper something into Hinata's ear, causing her to blush and gasp, whispering, "Kiba-kun, someone might hear." When Hinata looked up, her eyes met Sasuke's and he gave her a knowing glance, causing her to blush all over again and go back to eating her miso soup. Hinata had also had a switch interest, giving up on her endless crush on Naruto when Kiba asked her out and they had been together ever since.
As Sasuke chewed thoughtfully he watched his favorite blonde scratch the back of his neck as he chuckled nervously, obviously saying something to upset the ever serious Gaara. The raven watched as he quickly lowered his arm and a smile tugged at his lips. Naruto had admitted that he was trying to kick his childhood habit but it didn't seem that it was working out so well for him. Looking out from raven bangs, Sasuke watched Naruto scowl lightly at his arm, as if he was blaming it for moving in the first place. This time Sasuke hid his laugh by taking a large drink from his water bottle. When his eyes shifted to the right he caught the proud eye of Hinata, as her eyes praised his face. She leaned forward and Sasuke moved to meet her in the middle.
"You should smile more often, Sasuke-san." The quiet girl giggled quietly as Sasuke scowled at being caught.
"Hn." He replied as he took another bite of his lunch. His eyes shifted over to Naruto again as he heard his booming laugh echo through the room. He heard Hinata giggle again and turned to see her watching him knowingly.
"I know how hard it is not to smile while watching him." She whispered so quietly he almost didn't hear her. He blushed slightly which only made her giggle again.
"Yo Uchiha! What's with the blush man? Hitting on my girlfriend?" Kiba's voice cut in roughly as obsidian turned to meet hostile brown.
"Well?!" Kiba asked, wrapping a protective arm around the blushing, pale eyed girl and stared at Sasuke. The raven gave him a look as if to let him know to fuck off before turning to give Hinata an apologetic look. He didn't know what exactly he was apologizing for but he felt she deserved an apology for having to deal with the boy currently wrapped around her.
"Dude. You can stop looking at her now. She's mine, not yours." Sasuke flashed his eyes up to glare at Kiba again, his eyes flashing red in his rush of anger.
"Hey dog-breath. Don't talk about my cousin like she's an object." Neji said menacingly as he glared at Kiba's arm wrapped tightly around his favorite cousin's neck. Everyone knew never to disrespect Hinata because if Neji found out then all hell broke loose. Neji had lived with Hinata since he was a boy and his father was murdered. His father's twin brother, Hinata's father, then brought him into his own home and ever since Neji treated Hinata and her little sister as if they were actually siblings. And Neji was a very over protective brother.
"Uh, Neji-san it's fine. Please." Hinata slightly whimpered as she stared pleadingly at her 'brother'. Neji glared at Kiba for another moment before nodding and turning back to his discussion with Shikamaru. Hinata very visibly let out a deep breath as her shoulders sagged and Kiba leaned in to give her a loving kiss on the cheek. What Sasuke would do to be able to do that to his blonde.
At that thought his dark eyes turned to rest again on the bouncing ball of light. His mind traveled back to his dream that had caused him to leave the warm comfort of his bed the night before and he sighed as he felt a pang of longing in his stomach and possibly even lower. Images of tanned legs and a strong neck bending back as a quiet gasp is whispered into a pale ear as strong fingers grip tightly at dark locks.
Not here. Not now! Sasuke thought to himself as he attempted to push off the sudden wave of lust that had rushed through his body at the thoughts of the many erotic things he wished the blonde would do to him and the many things he would do in return. Stupid fucking teenage hormones! Sasuke shouted in his head as his hand tightened around his water bottle, causing water to spill over the edge.
"Sasuke!" Sasuke's head shot up as the blonde screamed his name. Oh how he loved it when he screamed his name. "Sasuke what the fuck is wrong with you!?" The blonde screamed, this time the raven tried to focus and he saw a puddle of water over some of Naruto's books and water dripping down his hand from the mouth of the water bottle. Oh how I wish that was something completely different. Sasuke thought as his over imaginative mind over flowed with smut filled thoughts as he attempted to help Kiba and Naruto mop up the mess he had made. When will this day end? Sasuke thought as he begrudgingly settled back into his seat to continue his staring.
Naruto sighed contently as he heard his locker slam shut behind him, followed by the final bell, signaling the end of the day. He walked to the end of the hall to the second water fountain on the right and leaned against the wall. Stupid teme's always late. Naruto thought as he tapped his foot noisily against the carpeted floor.
"Hey Naruto!" Naruto turned to look at a beaming pink haired girl and his responding smile doubled hers.
"Sakura-chan! Hey! How was your day?" Naruto shoved off the wall and took a step closer to the girl standing in front of him. He remembered when she used to rub it in his face that she was taller then him. Now, however, he stood six inches taller then her, something that never made her happy to have pointed out.
"It was ok. Listen, I was wondering if you maybe wanted to go to a movie tonight with me?" Naruto watched almost amusedly as Sakura dug her toe into the carpeting and dug it in. I remember when this used to be me.Naruto thought with a smirk. But he snapped out of his thoughts when he saw Sakura look up at him expectedly. Right… tonight. Today's Friday isn't it? The… 22nd? Crap! Tonight's the night Sasuke's band is playing at the Club 21. Shit! No one else is even supposed to know about his band! Crap crap. I need a lie…. Damn. Sasuke's right. I really need to start working on my lying skills.
"I'd love to Sakura-chan but I have plans already tonight. Maybe some other time." His hand twitched, ready to go to the back of his neck, but he fought his instincts and kept it by his side.
"Oh. Alright then." Sakura said, her smile slipping slightly, causing a pang of guilt to shoot through the blonde. A scowl took over his face and he started thinking again. But his next words were interrupted.
"You ready to go Dobe?" He heard a familiar voice say from the door behind him. He turned and met Sasuke's words with a glare.
"Don't call me that, teme!" He mumbled as he turned back to Sakura. "I'll see you on Monday, Sakura!" He gave her a wide smile and jerky wave before falling after the receding footsteps of his best friend.
Naruto finally caught up to Sasuke at his car. His stop to catch his breath before climbing into the passenger seat of his friend's brand new Ford Mustang. Even though he had his own car and he could drive, Naruto hated to drive to school. So Jaraiya dropped him off on his way to work and Sasuke drove him home. After all, they only lived three houses… well mansions… apart.
"So are you ready for your gig tonight?" Naruto asked, trying to get the raven to admit to some kind of emotion other then anger and annoyance.
"Of course." The raven answered in a tone that suggested that it was the most obvious answer in the world. Naruto rolled his eyes. Of course he was ready. The blonde was beginning to wonder if the raven actually didn't know how to feel more then three emotions. He chuckled at the thought and smiled when Sasuke turned to look at him, unintentionally adding to the fantasies running through Sasuke's mind.
"I'll pick you up at five. You better be ready." The blonde nodded, already knowing the plan. Sasuke would pick him up at five and they would meet the band at the local diner where they would eat a light dinner and then all head to the club in the band's van. Naruto rolled his eyes at the raven even though he wasn't watching.
"I know Sasuke. That's how we've always done it." Of course this was meant to show the raven that he wasn't as immature and forgetful as he seemed to think. Unfortunately it backfired.
"Yes I know. But we can never get out of your house until 5:25 the earliest." Naruto winced. Okay so it wasn't how they always did it. Sasuke tried to make it happen but by now he had learned it just wasn't going to happen. It's not that Naruto wasn't ready by five because he always was. But when Sasuke rang the door bell he was either in the middle of something, about to do something, or had been meaning to do something that he though couldn't wait until after they got home.
Naruto gave a light laugh as he remembered the last gig he had accompanied Sasuke's band to. Let's just say it end with three shows being thrown and a very whiny blonde. Naruto slid his eyes over to his best friend and sighed. Why did he have to be so… hot?
Two months ago Naruto wouldn't have been caught dead thinking Sasuke was hot. But after two months of continuous wet dreams he just couldn't deny it. Uchiha Sasuke was extremely hot. And it was completely unfair. Although Naruto had to admit, he'd rather have such vivid dreams about the Uchiha instead of his other best friend. The blonde shivered. How did Hinata do it? This thought caused another chuckle to emit from his throat.
This time when he turned to look at Sasuke he let his eyes linger, running down the lean body and slowly coming back up as he admired the pale boy beside him. He watched strong muscular arms become taught as long, thin fingers gripped the leather steering wheel. His eyes traveled up to broad shoulders that stressed lightly in places as pale arms continued to move the wheel. Electric blue traveled down the pale yellow button up that hid a taught chest and chiseled stomach with a thin line of soft black hair that disappeared into loose khaki pants, held up by a studded belt. Naruto watched Sasuke leg stretch as he pushed down on the brake, pulling the car to a halt. The clearing of a throat dragged Naruto from his ogling as he snapped his sun kissed face up to meet Sasuke's eyes.
"Something wrong Naruto?" The raven asked as he smirked and his dark eyes laughed at him. Naruto slid down in his seat, crossing his arms and scowling.
"No." He said briskly, looking out the dashboard. He heard a light chuckle beside him but ignored it. Fuck.He thought as he shifted his messenger bag over his lap more, covering his growing arousal. I hate being a teenager.
