Au (author's note) 3
Hello everyone, and here I am with chapter two. I tried to make Kiba and Naruto sound like suburb dwellers with their accents and stuff, but I speak properly so it's hard for me to do that. And that photographer thing?! I JUST ADDED IT IN OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE I'M TRYING TO THINK OF A PROPER PROFESSION FOR NARUTO. Anyways, enjoy, or don't.
The next day went by smoothly;
Minus the fact that Naruto kept texting Sasuke all day while he was at work.
Sasuke was busily printing, proofreading and helping others with their own projects. No wonder he's employee of the month so often. But the downside was that Naruto kept texting him which felt like every millisecond. Sasuke growled to himself in frustration and put his phone on silent.
Naruto whined. Kiba, his best friend had recognized that factor.
They were currently in the living room of Naruto's home, and Kiba was playing GTAV on Naruto's PS4.
"Oi, Naruto," Kiba said, his concentration being broken from Naruto's complaining. "Stop whining."
"Sasuke is ignoring me again," He mumbled while turning on his phone and looking at the notification bar.
Kiba his head, honestly perceiving the fact that this man was only 22, and he was acting like a spoiled brat that couldn't get their favorite toy after their mother had said no. He then put down the controller and turned towards Naruto who was lying on the leather couch in the living room.
Kiba and Naruto had been friends for as long as Naruto could remember. For as long as Naruto could tie his shoe, that is. Naruto had recently moved from Chicago. Kiba had to stay and Naruto was a crying mess. Even though he'd chosen to follow after his father, Naruto was the type to cling to anyone he loved dearly. His father was one of them.
Even though Minato, his father, and Naruto argued relentlessly when Naruto was only a teenager, he still loved him dearly and grew out of the rebellious attitude that he had. He clings to his brother as well as his friends as well.
"So, Kiba," Naruto began. "I think that I might really like Sasuke," Naruto said sounding like an elementary student.
Kiba just let out a loud "ha". "Who would've missed it? You've been texting the poor guy nonstop all day today and complaining when he hasn't responded in less than 2 minutes. I'm surprised he hasn't blocked you yet." Kiba said as he picked the controller back up and controlled his online character into getting inside of its car.
Naruto pouted. "It's not like he probably doesn't like me, or else he'd wouldn't have taken my number."
Kiba just sucked his teeth when another online player killed him. "Well, you'd better stop before he starts to NOT like you," Kiba said.
Naruto began to protest, but Kiba dismissed him with, "Don't think about it too much, blonde. Then Naruto went silent for a minute which was very unusual for this loudmouth. Then he just sat upright on the sofa and snatched the controller out of Kiba's hand. After a few threats of "I'm going to kill you if you use my ammo" from Kiba, Naruto got up to go retrieve a beer for Kiba so he could shut up. Unfortunately, Naruto couldn't drink one himself. He had work later today. Kiba had just got off of an all-night shift, but the fool isn't even close to tired. Somehow, he works as a veterinarian from the vet not too far from here. And Naruto worked as a photographer. He loved taking photos of people and things for businesses or his own.
For Naruto to be as dumb as he is, he was ultimately successful. And his family was proud of him for that. He was too.
Naruto was about to enter the living room when he saw his brother, Nagato walk into the house and close the door behind him. He looked exhausted. He works as a surgeon.
"Ah, Naruto." He said smiling walking over to his younger brother to hug him.
Naruto hugged him back. "Welcome home, Nagato."
Nagato looked in the living room and saw Kiba on the sofa, still playing the same game. "Hello, Kiba."
Kiba looked at him and waved. "Wassup."
Nagato sighed and sat down in the chair in the kitchen at the island.
Naruto sat down with him, and they began talking. Naruto hadn't seen Nagato in the longest; he's always working. Nagato didn't really show anything different from when his mother died, unlike Naruto who became a rebellious child, and Minato, their father who became depressed. Nagato was a little unlike himself for a while. But he recovered almost fully after a year. He got into the acceptance stage pretty quickly. After that, he worked on cheering up everyone else up, helping them reach their acceptance stages relatively fast.
Kiba joined in on the conversation too. They didn't really talk about much. Naruto had stepped out of the conversation moments later so that he could use the bathroom. He did his business in the toilet and his mind was swirling with thoughts of what he should tell his brother on Sasuke. His brother knew that he was bisexual, but he didn't really feel as if it were time to tell his older brother about Sasuke, as it may cause his brother to get worrisome. Naruto sighed and flushed the toilet, then washed his hands before exiting the bathroom.
Sasuke flopped down in his chair at his house. He was so glad that he was able to relax after such a long day. He threw his head back on the love chair and closed his eyes. Sasuke stared at the ceiling and heaved a sigh. His cat came racing towards him as if she were there for him when he was in distress. Asuka jumped on his lap, and he smoothed out her hair. Then a thought came to his mind.
He had forgotten to text back Naruto.
Sasuke quickly grabbed his phone and scrolled through all of the messages that Naruto had sent. Jeez. This guy was so determined…
He stopped when he had seen a bunch of messages of him apologizing to him for being annoying. What? When did he ever proclaim him as "annoying"?
Without thinking Sasuke dialed his number on his phone He didn't know why, but he wanted to clarify that he didn't have anything against this guy. Moments later, Sasuke heard a click then Naruto's voice.
"Hello?" Naruto answered. Sasuke heard other voices in the background. Wondering who they were, he started to strike up a conversation with that general topic.
"Are you with someone? Who is it?" Sasuke asked, petting his cat.
"Ah, yeah. I'm with my brother and my friend Kiba," Naruto said, shooing away Kiba when he came closer towards him.
"I see. Am I bothering you?"
Naruto laughed. "Not at all-" was all Naruto could say before there were this random muffled noise and a bunch of voices.
Sasuke looked puzzled. What the hell was going on there? "Naruto?" Sasuke asked.
"Oh shut up Naruto! Stop being a pussy!" Sasuke heard.
Sasuke looked worried. What the fuck?
"'Ello. I'm Kiba, Naruto's wingman, and-" Kiba managed.
"Kiba give me my damn phone before you lose your ability to masturbate!" Naruto screeched.
Sasuke was lost for words. There is way too much going on with these people. Are the Uzumakis' usually like this?
Sasuke groaned in frustration. This was such a bad idea. "Excuse me, you're Kiba, right? Would you mind passing the phone to Naruto?" Sasuke said in a steady tone, trying to tune out his impatience.
Kiba gasped over the phone. "Well, well! Naruto didn't tell me you were this polite!"
Sasuke was slightly surprised by this. A day after meeting and Naruto was already talking about him?
Before Sasuke could say anything, there were noises of what seemed to be Naruto yelling at Kiba things like "I'm gonna fucking kill you" and Kiba laughing really hard while saying, "Nagato your brother has lost it".
When all calmed down, Naruto heaved a heavy sigh and spoke into the phone with a smile. "Sorry about that," he said.
Sasuke snapped himself back to reality. "So Kiba had mentioned that you were talking about me," Sasuke started.
Lie. Kiba hadn't really mentioned anything; just the fact that Sasuke was polite.
Naruto sounded flustered. It was kinda cute. For him. "Oh! I was just mentioning it to him and stuff because I felt as if he should know."
Sasuke picked up his cat with one arm and placed her back on the chair which he'd got up from.
"Really? I hope there isn't an exception for me because I'm an Uchiha?" Sasuke said, his snarkiness sort of and not intended.
"Hmm? How does one be as sarcastic and as polite as you at the same time?"
"What do you mean?" Sasuke asked innocently. "I'm afraid I am not following where you are coming from."
"Sarcastic and polite? I'm intrigued." Naruto said.
Sasuke scoffed and smirked. "Sure."
Sasuke had almost forgotten why he'd called Naruto. "Naruto," He began. "I have a question."
"Yeah?" Naruto answered, anxiously and impatiently.
Sasuke heistated for a moment there. Then after he inhaled a breath and opened his mouth to speak, Naruto spoke up.
"What're you doing this weekend?" Naruto blurted out.
Sasuke searched through the fridge, wondering what he should make himself for dinner. "I don't know yet...most likely nothing."
Naruto nodded slightly in an understanding tone. "Well if you wanna, we should-"
"Sure," Sasuke said agreeing on the idea immediately, without letting him finish.
Naruto chuckled on the other end of the line. Sasuke felt his heart flutter. He squeezed onto his phone.
"Alright, so do you wanna talk more, or what?" Naruto asked as he shoved one hand into his pocket.
Say yes, say yes, say yes! Sasuke mentally shouted to himself like an idiotic fangirl. He was gay, not boy obsessed. Then he inhaled sharply. "No, that's all."
"Ah, okay," Naruto said as something came back to his mind. "By the way, didn't you wanna tell me something?"
Sasuke quickly answered. "No, it's fine. I'll talk to you tomorrow or something."
Naruto scoffed. "I wouldn't bet on it. Talk to you later." Naruto said before hanging up.
"You too," Sasuke mumbled to himself quietly.
Sasuke started to grab bell peppers out of the refrigerator and white rice out of the pantry, his phone went off for his text message notification. He went to check his phone to see who it was and saw that it was a text message from that doofus Naruto:
"Miss me already, huh?"
Sasuke gritted his teeth in frustration. He'd wish that Naruto would stop with the mixed signals! It's grating out of all sheer honesty.
Sasuke slammed his phone a little too hard on the island in the kitchen. He felt his body temperature rise up slightly. A little too slightly. He then went into the bathroom and looked to see his pearly paled and untouched skin was reddened on his cheeks. Him? Blushing?
Sasuke relaxed his face trying to calm himself down as he hasn't blushed for the longest. Cliche, I know. But Naruto was the unpredictable type and these mixed signals that he was spewing oh so recklessly wasn't helping either.
That idiot, Sasuke thought to himself as he pressed a cool and wet towel on his face.
