DISCLAIMER: I don't own Naruto, or any one else...as much as I wish it wasn't true... I know that I would definitely wish to own Kiba XD
A/N: Ugh...I hate how my chapters all end up being ALL dialogue I feel that if they are like that there is no...substance to the story DX...oh well, no point freaking out about it since it isn't going to change that is how I feel comfortable writing. Well, I updated this fast just to make up for like the 2 months that I didn't even think about this story...I had put my first priority to my other story and left this one alone...so here is chapter 3. I dedicate to all the people who took there time to read all the way to chapter 3 and not just skip to it XD...ENJOY!
Chapter 3: Conditions
"So...what did Sasuke want with you yesterday?" Kiba asked casually, but there was evident curiosity leaking into his voice, as they sat onto their customary lunch table.
Shika had gotten there early by ditching P.E. class with one of his legendary forged doctors notes. Shika was the king when it came to making plans to get out of work, or getting anything that he wanted really. And, as always, he was already sleeping with his back on the bench, and his hands tucked beneath his head as a makeshift pillow. He had probably been gazing at the clouds before he fell asleep, it was almost a routine of his. As shocking as it may be, this lazy-assed, spiky-haired teen had an IQ that put Stephen Hawking to shame.
"Why do you want to know? It's not like you are my friend or anything. Since you didn't help me whatsoever, when Sasuke, basically, kidnapped me! Like good friend would!" Naruto accused, loudly. Even though Kiba was sitting right next to him, because Shika took up one whole side of the bench. There was no point in yelling. But amazingly enough, he managed to yell at Kiba and stuff ramen in his mouth at the same time.
There was nothing Naruto Uzumaki couldn't do when eating ramen was involved.
"But...but...what the hell was I supposed to do? He's Sasuke Uchiha...I want to live a full, happy life, thank you, very much." Kiba reasoned...rather pathetically.
Kiba knew that Naruto was going to make him feel bad a bit longer before he gave in and told him, so he took that opportunity to start attacking his sandwich, with so much vigor, you would think that it was going to run away from him, or something.
"I don't know...something, or anything at all, would have been nice!" Rather than just siting there and enjoying the show...
"Sorry...please forgive me...and tell me what the freak is going on between you two! 'Cause. I. Need. To. Know. It's killing me!" Kiba, all but, howled, at the blonde. Though it was slightly muffled from his mouth being occupied by his half-chewed sandwich bite.
"Hmm...let me think about it...umm...No!"
"Ah, come on, I'm your best friend..." Kiba said in sort of a sing-song kinda voice.
Oh, so he decided to pull the 'I-am-your-best-friend' did he?...I was wondering when he would do that. Naruto thought, amused at how Kiba was overracting.
"Well...in that case...still no!"
"Please!" Kiba begged. "I will do anything! I just want to know!"
"Ok, ok...on two conditions..."
"Yeah?"
"One you can't tell anyone..."
"Yea, yea, I wouldn't have done that, anyways."
"And two, you have to do all my Physics homework for this week."
"But that is not fair!"
"Hey, hasn't anyone ever told you: life's not fair...if you want to know what happened then you have to do what I say." Naruto rejoiced. First, Sasuke, now Kiba, this is a good week, screw those perverts and bullies, this maybe the most fun I have had in my life.
"Ugh...ffffffine." Kiba said resentfully. "So, tell me already!"
"Ok, so, Sasuke asked me to go out with him yesterday, bec -"
"What the fuck!?"
"That is exactly what I said, literally."
"But, dude, you are a dude!"
"Yes, thank you, Captain Obvious."
"But then everyone will think he is gay..."
"I know."
"Why would he let everyone think he is gay?"
"..."
"Is he gay! ?" Kiba exclaimed, finally putting two and two together.
...And this is why Naruto and Kiba became friends: they are two peas in a pod.
"Hn." Naruto grunted, in a bad impression of Sasuke. You knew it was a horrible imitation of Sasuke because Naruto was smiling as he did it.
"Why you, though! ? He could have picked anyone! I mean, come on, everyone, but you, would happily volunteer to be his puppet!"
"As they say 'great minds think alike'...Yeah, I asked him that exact same question, but he wouldn't answer me. After teasing him so much, I decided to drop it when he asked, if I pestered him any longer he would have gone over the edge, for sure...I doubt I would be here right now in one piece."
"So...umm...why did he ask you out?...Is he in...uhh...love...with...you?" Kiba asked, hesitantly.
"HAAHAAHAA...no no no...pfft...HAHAHA...no!" Naruto choked out, in between his fits of laughter.
"Then, why?...huh...what other reason could he possibly have?" Kiba challenged, feeling indignant from Naruto's insulting reaction. He didn't take it personally, though. It was rather far-fetched to think that Sasuke could have a feeling called love, or any feelings at all.
"He needs me to break up this engagement thing his father is forcing him to for some reason that he explained, but I wasn't really listening. I was kinda occupied with thoughts of how my ramen would get cold if that conversation lasted any longer..." Naruto admitted sheepishly.
"You agreed!" Kiba said in his 'freaking out' voice. His pitch was so high that Naruto was pretty sure that there were dogs whining in the distance.
"Yea," Naruto shrugged.
"Why the hell would you do that!?"
Naruto only needed to say one word to explain.
"Ramen."
"Oh," Kiba completely excepted that answer with no surprise. "How much?"
"A year's worth." Naruto stated.
"Hey, you can finally get that used car you have had your eyes on for the past year..."
"I know!" Naruto exclaimed, jubilated.
"You guys never cease to amaze me..." Shika mumbled under his breath.
"Rise and shine, Sleeping Beauty." Kiba joked.
"Don't make me put a muzzle on you. I am seriously debating whether not to, so don't push your luck." Shika threatened in a low voice, still annoyed that Kiba had yelled all throughout lunch again, waking him up several times. Especially when he was having nostalgic dreams about his memories of repeatedly beating his uncle, Asuma, at shogi.
"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bench this afternoon." Naruto snickered.
Right as he said that the bell rang to signal the end of lunch.
"Aw!...I didn't even get to finish my sandwich!" Kiba whined.
"Leave it. We have to go to Physics, and we all know how much you like our recent physics' lessons...At least I hope you do, for your sake." Naruto winked.
Naruto was grateful that it was Friday, he had it up til here with all the freaks that he had encountered that day, and that week for that matter. The bell for the last periods finish had rung, and he was now leisurely walking towards his locker. As he gathered the necessary books for this weekend's homework, he noticed that Sasuke was at his locker, which, apparently, was only three lockers down from his.
Makes sense, his last name does start with a U, too, after all. Funny, I haven't noticed that before now...I know that I have always hated that stuck-up, spoiled brat. You would think I would notice him if he was in such a close proximity to me, daily...or not. Naruto thought idly.
Naruto, also, noticed now how good-looking the young Uchiha was.
Sasuke didn't look in his direction.
He took this chance to give the raven an appreciative once-over glance out of the corner of his eyes.
Sasuke was wearing a well-fitted, navy blue, long sleeved sweater today, which clung to his lean frame. This was complimented by a pair of well worn black skinny jeans that were snug in all the right places, and to finished the look he wore his slip-on black and white checkered Vans. All the dark colors he wore really emphasized his beautiful milky complexion that could make any girl jealous.
His hair, also, stood out to in contrast to his pale skin, it was a blackish blue, it was hard to explain exactly what color it was, it had a sheen to it that made it other worldly. His hairstyle was questionable, it resembled a cockatoo, because of the way it stuck out in the back, but he managed to pulled it off; with bangs that framed either side of his angular face.
And while we are on the subject of his angular face, Naruto couldn't help be mesmerized in Sasuke's dark, brooding onyx eyes, that tapered towards the end into the perfect almond shape, hinting at his Japanese ancestry. Sasuke wasn't even looking directly at Naruto, but they were still captivating. Naruto gaze lingered seconds longer on Sasuke's angel-carved, small cherry red mouth.
He noticed all of this within the four seconds that he let his eyes rest on the teme.
What the fuck...I am not even gay. Why the hell am I checking out Sasuke?...not that he isn't bad looking, actually he is the exact opposite, he is fucking ho-, wait no. I. Am. Not. Gay. End of discussion. Naruto rebuked himself. Stupid Teme, this is all his fault, he is making me pretend to be gay, and now I actually acting like one, too.
While Naruto was having a full on discussion with himself; Sasuke was taking in the golden haired, tanned boy.
Dobe's locker is this close to mine?...hmm...it definately gives me a good view of him...that is for sure...Sasuke thought to himself.
Sasuke permitted himself a quick glance at the blonde; in that second, his mind went into overdrive as it tried to picked up all of the little details that made Naruto...Naruto.
Naruto was clad in his traditional plain, over-sized looking orange, V-neck, but then again everything looked rather baggy on Naruto's lithe, short statured body. On top of his baggy T, was an unbuttoned, pinstriped black vest. These were his two signature colors: orange and black.
Sasuke noticed how Naruto's Ipod earbuds snaked from under his shirt and back out through his V-neck, where they rested on the front of his chest. Naruto, like Sasuke, was wearing skinny jeans, but his were a dark blue wash. They also hugged and accentuated his relatively long, slim legs. Oh, and the blonde was wearing his favorite well-worn, beat up, high-topped, orange Converse, that had faded to a point that it, hardly, had any of its original color left in it.
His hair was flawlessly tousled into a mass of brilliant disheveled gold spikes. Which, in the front, dangled alluringly over his eyes. The color of his hair set off his expressive, cerulean blue eyes, in a way that was hard to describe in words. They sparkled like gems on his face. Below the eyes was a well sculpted nose, and under that was a heart-shaped, carnation pink, mouth.
There were three mysterious scars on each of his cheeks that resembled whiskers, almost. Sasuke didn't know where they were from, but felt unexplainable pain at the thought of the blonde had suffering in the past. The origin of the scars tortured him to imagine. There was another mysterious thing about Naruto: his year round tan. Sasuke appreciated Naruto's head-to-toe, ever-present golden tan.
It made all the colors on him, all the more, vibrant.
Naruto was still looking at the contents inside of his locker, as his mind raced with thoughts of the Uchiha; even though, he had already finished rounding up all that he needed for the weekend homework that had been assigned, minus Physics, of course, Kiba was going to take care of that one this one. Naruto figured that he had spent was too much time in front of his locker, without doing anything, and Sasuke was bound to notice him staring aimlessly at the inside of his stark locker for a prolonged amount of time.
He looked back in Sasuke's direction, only to be disappointed by an empty space.
As Naruto shut his locker door, he was startled to find Sasuke, casually leaning against the locker, right behind his, with an arrogant smirk on his face. But, then again, when was that smirk not on his face?
"What now, Teme? Naruto said, exasperated. This is becoming a daily thing now...hmm though I don't think I mind talking to him that much...or at all really...
"Nothing much, Dobe...I just wanted you to come over to my house, now, so we could go over what you have to do, say, and generally how you have to act at the party. I don't want you to embarrass me." Sasuke stated in a no nonsense tone.
This set Naruto off.
"Fuck no!...Why the hell, did you pick me if I was only going to 'embarrass' you?!" Naruto yelled, enraged. He didn't like it when people underestimated him. He knew what he was worth and didn't like taking shit like this from people like Sasuke. He knew Sasuke's kind, rich, snobby, and condescending, to all people that were not them.
Can't believe I was thinking about how he looks amazing...if he only had a thing called inner beauty...Naruto thought sarcastically. Teme thinks that I will just embarrass him if I act like I do now...jackass...
Sasuke's eyes grew wide by the shock he felt at the blonde's explosive response to his seemingly innocent request.
"Naruto, I am not trying to insult you or how you are...it is just people who come to parties like these are a bunch prissy rich people with ludicrously pointless expectations. You will stick out like a sore thumb, and in the end I still need father 'approval' of you. He might just force me to marry that girl because he thinks you are a miscreant that wants money, or something that includes an ulterior motive." Sasuke reasoned.
"I don't need to impress people that have a stick up there ass and look like they have smelled something bad...all the time!" Naruto said furiously.
"I know...that is how I feel all the time..."
"Really?" Naruto said, completely caught off guard. To think that 'Mr. Perfect' Sasuke had expectations that he had to put in efforts to fill.
"Hn." Sasuke grunted, indifferently, but he was secretly happy that Naruto had calmed down.
"Hmm...fine, I will come over...but on one condition..."
"Yes, Dobe?" He was ready to give him anything as long as he came quietly without another episode.
"Buy me some ramen on the way."
"Why does everything boil down to ramen with you?" Sasuke asked, but he didn't expect an answer or need an answer. This was a quirk made Naruto who he was.
"Follow me." Sasuke told the blonde.
"Ok," Naruto said, surprisingly obedient.
Finally, no arguing back, with random uncalled for, angry, outbursts. Sasuke thought, thoroughly relieved.
I think he might suffer from a severe case of bipolar disorder, though.
The school was deserted by this time. They had spent so much time talking to each other, without realizing it, it had been more than an hour since school had let out. Naruto had called his guardian, Iruka, to tell him that he would come home late because he was spending the day at his 'friends' house for a school project. Luckily, Iruka didn't ask as to who's house he was going to because that would have lead to a way longer phone call.
Since everyone had left for home long ago, Naruto easily spotted what had to be Sasuke's car, it was the only car in the lot after all.
There was a I-can-see-my-reflection shiny, top-of-the-line, dark blue, Lamborghini Murcielago sitting dead center, in the middle of the deserted parking lot.
Naruto started to drool at the sight of the gorgeous car. It shouldn't even be considered a 'car', to call it a car was an insult, it grouped this work of art with all the other cars out there. This beauty was of a class all on its own, car was too plain of a word to describe this exquisite masterpiece of a vehicle.
"It's beautiful..." Naruto whispered, in awe, to Sasuke.
"You think?" Sasuke said, with an amused smirk. "It was my 16th birthday present."
The raven pressed a button on the keys, which made soft beep, and then, simultaneously, both doors on either side of the vehicle opened upwards, automatically.
"Wow..." Naruto murmured, softly, still starry-eyed.
"Hop in."
Naruto eagerly obeyed the request. He climbed into the passenger side of the car, watching Sasuke as he sauntered towards the driver's, and in one fluid motion jumped into the Lambo.
Sasuke revved the engine loudly, before speeding off in the direction of the Uchiha Mansion.
Thanks for reading!...did you like my description of Sasuke and Naruto? :P Haha, it is so funny I was like writing this chapter worrying that I wouldn't have enough to write about and it ends up being my longest chapter for this story XD...I hope you didn't get bored, nothing really special actually happened in this chapter XP
