Well, well, well… Once again I am back to conquer the world… Well, right now the task is conquering this site but I'm working my way up. I'd like to thank DizziKatz for being ǘberly awesome-licious. As always. She actually got a shout out when I first posted this on the other site. I'm rambling, so onward!
Today was the first day of classes (inward sigh). It was Friday (which is a weird day to start school). Naruto and Sasuke hadn't spoken in 3 days. I'm not going to break... Not this time. I'm right. We both know I'm right... That's why he isn't talking to me, he can't accept the fact that he's wrong. "Naruto," a voice called from behind him and he quickly turned around, removing his headphones.
"Oh, hey Neji. What's good?" the blond asked with that classic foxy grin.
"Nothing really..." He sighed. "How are you feeling?"
"Great! Why?" Naruto asked, perplexed by his random question.
"Come on, Naruto. We all know what happened" He said, rolling his lavender eyes.
"Oh... well I feel great! Never better in my life!" Naruto lied. He did feel fine, drug wise anyway.
Pale eyes narrowed into a more serious and concerned look. "And about Sasuke?"
Naruto was taken aback by his question. How would Neji know that he and Sasuke weren't speaking?
The blond glared heavily at him. "Whatever, dude. That pompous idiot needed a strong dose of reality. Why did you feel the need to bring up his royal bitch-ness?"
His stern gaze bored into azure eyes. "Because we all know how you feel about him and know the effect it's going to have on you." He sighed again. "I just don't want to see you hurt yourself again" he said, slightly shaking his head. "You really should go talk to him, you know." He said softly.
"No. Not this time. I'm not breaking on this one. He needed to hear it and now he has to deal with the truth" Naruto growled through clenched teeth.
"Naruto, don't you see what this is doing to you already? Face it, you've never gone longer than this without speaking to him, and that's only because you had just figured out that you were..."
"...Gay? Jeez Neji! You'd think that after 5 years you'd be able to say it... He's the only one who doesn't know." Now, Naruto sighed. "He's so oblivious... And anyway, everyday over the summer HE called ME. I didn't feel the need to call him up did I? No, I sure as hell didn't!"
"Because you didn't have to... You knew he'd call. But honestly, Naruto, don't you see what's happening to you? Look how angry you are! You aren't sleeping or eating... You can't go on like this!"
The blond, again, sighed. "Damnit, Neji... If you weren't so damn hot I'd punch you" he muttered, still kind of angry.
Neji chuckled a bit. "Well then, I'm thankful for my good looks".
Naruto couldn't help but smile. After all, he was right. Naruto knew he couldn't last much longer like this, but he was determined. Naruto wouldn't give in on this one. Sasuke had to deal with the truth and the blond knew it was going to take time. It's never taken him this long to get over something I've said though... I must have really hurt him. He sighed. "You're totally right, Neji. I'm going to talk to him tonight in the dorm... You know, to keep things personal and private and shit" he chuckled.
"Whatever you say, Naruto."
Naruto glared at him playfully and shoved his shoulder. "Don't be such an ass, Neji"
- Dorm -
Naruto layed on his bed, listening to his i-Pod. The playlist was called "Sasuke" because it consisted of the most emo songs ever. It had Simple Plan, Taking Back Sunday, My Chemical Romance, Adam's Song (Blink 182), some Linkin Park, some Nickelback, Mad World (???), and some All American Rejects. He was listening to "Mad World", being all emo-esque, trying to figure out what he was going to say to Sasuke. Of course, he wasn't going to apologize, there was no chance in hell that that was going to happen.
Naruto rubbed his head, mumbling that his brain started to hurt. Thinking is HARD! The song changed and "It Ends Tonight" began to play. Simultaneously, Sasuke walked into the room. Blue eyes followed him. He came over and sat by tan feet on the edge of Naruto's bed, his legs hanging off the foot of his mattress. Naruto slowly sat up after a short while, realizing Sasuke wasn't moving anytime soon. The blond cautiously removed one of his headphones, looking at the raven, waiting for him to do something. The two sat in silence for what felt like an eternity. Naruto took a deep breath, about to say something, but Sasuke beat him to it. "Naruto, I'm sorry" he said in a soft yet emotionless voice.
"Whatever, Sasuke. It's fine. It's not like you did anything-"
"-No, it's what I didn't do, and I'm sorry. I haven't been a good friend to you." Naruto looked at him. He was staring at his hands, which were folded neatly in his lap.
"That's not true-"
"Yes, it is. I've never been there for you like you've been there for me. I'm never nice to you and I'm never appreciative. I'm sorry; you deserve to be treated better than that"
The blond smiled and shook his head. Where did the Sasuke I used to know go?
"Whatever, dude. It's all good" Sasuke looked up for the first time, his face serious and his eyes flashed with an emotion Naruto couldn't place.
"You're not mad?"
Naruto shrugged.
Sasuke suddenly got very angry.
The raven was so angry at the blonde he couldn't contain it. "Why the hell not, damnit? How is it that you aren't bothered by the way I treat you?" he demanded.
Naruto shrugged again. "It does bother me... But that's just you... It's who you are... Life's too short" he said, smiling.
Sasuke wanted to beat him over the head. Damnit Naruto! Don't you know you deserve better?
"Dude, let's go. There's an insane party at H2O tonight and I NEED a drink!"
Sasuke groaned. "This is going to be so troublesome"
The blond laughed as he went to the closet, his i-Pod sitting on his bedside table. "You sound like Shikamaru, dude" He said chuckling. He pulled his shirt over his head. His back was to the raven so he didn't see the expression on the pale man's face.
Obsidian eyes were glued to a tan, toned, muscular back, now absorbing the image of his muscles contracting as he moved. White cheeks burned. The blond then removed his pants so he stood only in his boxers. Sasuke's mind raced with dirty thoughts regarding what he wanted to do to that boy. If he hadn't mastered the art of self- control (which he now chanted in his head) he would have pounced on the unsuspecting blonde. His thoughts became less and less innocent with every second. The raven found himself biting his lip, hard, his entire body tingling with desire. "Sasuke!" The raven blinked, having spaced, getting lost in his dirty thoughts. He was brought back to reality by the voice of the boy he had been fantasizing about and found that his heart was racing, pounding in his ears. "Jeez, space much?" Sasuke merely glared. The blond shot him a typical grin. "So, how do I look?" He had put on a tight black t, his muscular torso clearly visible beneath the material, and tight faded blue jeans.
"Hn, as long as the girls like it, right?" Sasuke stated indifferently.
Blue eyes rolled and the blond turned to stare at himself in the mirror. His hair hung loosely on his head, as opposed to its usual spiky mess. Who was Sasuke kidding? They both knew he looked hot.
"Aren't you going to change before we leave?" He asked. Sasuke gave him a look. "What? The girls at this club are awesome. They're really cute, I'm sure there's bound to be someone there that's going to catch your eye!" he encouraged. Yeah... I know there's going to be someone that catches my eye.
Naruto had talked Sasuke into submission, making him change clothes before everybody left for the club. He had been forced into wearing black sweat pants and a white baggy t- shirt with his hair in its usual manner. "Naruto I look stupid" Sasuke said as he examined himself in the mirror.
Naruto crossed his arms. "It's either the sweat pants or the skinny jeans"
"This is fine" The raven grumbled, following Naruto through the door into the hallway where everyone was waiting in their club outfits. Sasuke was immediately glomped by Saukra, who looked like a cheap prostitute (1).
"Sasuke-Kun! You look SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAWT! Not that you don't normally but OH-EM-GEE! you look, like, soooo sexy right now!" Sasuke shoved her off.
"Fuck off, Pinky" the raven growled as she sulked away. Everyone sniggered under their breath, except Naruto, who was giving Sasuke a reprimanding look. "What?"
"Dude, that was harsh. I mean I hate Sakura as much as anybody else but you're always so mean to her. Just chill a little bit huh? You may end up having a good time"
Sasuke scoffed. "Whatever, let's just go"
---- THE CLUB----
Loud music blared and flashing lights hit every corner of the room. Ino dragged Kiba to the dance floor, Shikamaru and Temari sat at a table, Lee went on a girl hunt and Sakura tried to catch Sasuke's attention by dancing like a whore. Sasuke and Naruto went over to the bar, being stopped by every girl in the place. "Hey Naruto! Dance with me tonight, Kay?", "Naruto! Save a dance for me!", "OH MY GOD NARUTO! You HAVE to dance with me!" He smiled at each and agreed.
"Well you seem to be popular here" Sasuke said.
The blond shook his head. "They're just my friends. I usually hit this club a couple of times a week. They just keep inviting me"
"They practically worship you. How come you're not dating any of them?"
He laughed at the question. "I guess they're just not my type... TONY! How's it, Homes? This is my boy Sasuke. I finally dragged him to the club and we're totally getting trashed. I want shots and lots of 'em! If I find myself with an empty glass you're in trouble"
"BLONDIE! 'Ey, no worries, it's on the house! Enjoy, my friends! Tony'll take care of everything!"
"Tony, man, I love ya!" Sasuke watched the blonde down shot after shot. He reached 3 and turned to the raven. "Dude, no one likes to drink alone." Sasuke shrugged and downed a shot. Naruto did 3 more.
"Hey Naruto!" A cute brunette came over and wrapped her arms around him.
"Hey Sandra, how's it?" He asked.
"Not good! I haven't seen you in so long! AND you aren't dancing with me!" She pouted. Sasuke rolled his eyes. She glanced over. "Who's your friend?"
"That's Sasuke... he's boring." Sasuke glared at him.
"Then come on, I'll entertain you for a bit" She grabbed his hand. He shrugged and did another shot. She dragged him to the floor.
"Later dude!" He called back.
Sasuke did a shot.
Black eyes took in all the people dancing and found Naruto and Sandra. His hands were on her hips and she was grinding on him hard. She was saying something to him but the raven couldn't read her lips. He turned bright red. What did she say to him?... Fucking whore. Look at her, throwing herself at him. He thought angrily. Sakura appeared next to him. Sasuke did 3 shots and grabbed her hand, dragging her to the dance floor. "Come on, we're dancing". She immediately began dancing on him, trying to get him hot. Stupid bitch. He thought, but he went along with it. Naruto and Sandra were now at the bar and had a clear view of Sakura and Sasuke. Sasuke felt his lips pulling into a smirk. He saw Naruto do 2 more shots and Sandra hugged him and left. Naruto started talking to Tony, looking pretty pissed off. Tony handed him a bottle of Georgi with a big smile. Naruto smiled back, thanking him. He took a big swig of it and turned his gaze back to Sakura and Sasuke. Good. "Hey Sakura" Sasuke mumbled into her ear. She looked up, only to have her lips meet Sasuke. She fainted (2). Sasuke rolled his eyes and dragged her back to the bar, but Naruto wasn't there. "Tony"
"'Ey! Sasuke, my man! WOAH! What da fuck? You lady killer you! Props man, props! Have a drink Meng!" He handed Sasuke a shot.
"Where's Naruto" he demanded.
"Oh, Blondie, yeah, he just left... Took the bottle with him too. It was nearly empty though... That boy can DRINK!" The raven quickly downed the shot.
"Thanks, take care of this for me?" He asked, pointing to the unconscious pink thing at his feet.
"Yeah, yeah. No problem man! Go have fun!" With that, Sasuke departed.
(1) Also known as Prosti-dude. So declared by us. Don't ask who "us" is. Just accept it.
(2) XD Sasuke, the lady killer. Sorry, it was just really funny.
