CHAPTER 3: Planning Parties and Fall Out Boy Concerts
"It's Sasuke-bastard's birthday this Saturday?" I banged my head on the table when Ino told me about Sasuke's birthday. I didn't even know about it, yet I claim to be his best friend? And I should know that already since I'm a messenger. I have his files for pete's sake. This is a proof of my negligence on my mission. I need to do anything for Sasuke and to be able to complete this mission. Maybe on the day of his birthday he'll wish something from his heart. But that would mean that I'll be leaving earlier.
Damn, but I shouldn't dwell on it too much; my unneeded feelings are nagging me again. I need to figure out first on how to deal with this. I want to make Sasuke happy. And since I figured that he hasn't experienced a surprise birthday party prepared by his friends yet, why not do it for him? But that would be the hard part. Since Sasuke doesn't like socializing that much, maybe he wouldn't like it?
"Naruto, my baby brother, If you have any questions or anything about how to proceed with this information, I suggest you open your mouth and ask us a question." Ino patted my head and smiled widely when I looked at her, the left side of my face still planted on the table.
"Really, you'll help me?" I mumbled. My eyes automatically switched to a puppy-dog eye. That's what the girls called it. I didn't even know that such look existed. Humans really are weird.
"Of course, baby. I know how much you care for our little raven, Right guys?" I looked at her questioningly.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that we'll help you plan." She answered. Okay, so not the explanation I wanted to get but at least I have someone who will help me with the preparation.
Speaking of preparation, I don't even know how to prepare one. I've seen a lot of birthday parties from my previous missions but it varies on different places, culture and of course, the year. The last time I attended a birthday party was year 1989 and I know that the party then will not be suitable for a party now.
"Sasuke isn't a type to go to a big party, so I'm assuming you're gonna go with a smaller and intimate party. Just his close friends and family." Shikamaru mumbled sleepily on the couch. It's a good thing Shikamaru's here with us or else… I don't really know what will happen. Ino would've probably prepared a big party but since her boyfriend said differently…
"Fine." Ino huffed at how her boyfriend was able to read her easily.
It's one of the things I noticed between these two. How they easily read one another without even uttering a single word. This is what Sasuke probably meant the last time we talked about his grunting. I still sometimes get a little irritated whenever the Uchiha would answer me with a grunt or a blank look on his face but now, I feel like I'm finally getting the hang of understanding the secret language of one Uchiha Sasuke.
"Good thing Sasuke isn't here right now." I groaned again. Thankful for Kiba's incessant pulling for Sasuke to come with him to the convenience store to buy some food for our still growing bodies.
We talked about planning the surprise party and who will be invited. Of course, the seven of us are included and Sasuke's family. Fortunately, Sakura is close to Sasuke's older brother Itachi and so we're able to tell him about our plan. Since its Sasuke's party, it will be held at their house. I've never been to their house before, mainly because when we hang out, we always chose to go to Shikamaru's place because it'll be too 'troublesome' for him to walk back and forth when his house is just closer in our school than any of us. Made sense really.
"Sakura, how come you're acquainted with Uchiha's brother?" Neji asked and all of our eyes focused on her. She started to fidget nervously and looked away when Ino looked at her evilly.
"Oh my God! He's the one you said who took your virginity!" Ino hollered and pointed a finger at Sakura. If it was possible, Sakura's face became the same or even darker shade of her hair.
"INO!" Neji raised an eyebrow and Shikamaru just snorted at Sakura's high pitched shriek. Hinata was so red in the face; you would think she's the one who's embarrassed. I just kept on laughing at how hard Sakura was trying to come up with an explanation.
Which was none.
"Oh my god, I didn't know that the guy you lost your virginity to was that hot." Ino exclaimed again, fanning herself like the temperature suddenly became hot.
"Ino, you have a boyfriend already." Hinata scolded but her stern look wasn't that much effective with the way her face was still red from earlier.
"It doesn't change the fact that Sakura got shagged by a hot older Uchiha." Sakura slapped Ino on her thigh then run to the kitchen to avoid the oncoming questions for her.
"Ino…" Shikamaru warned, obviously not amused anymore.
"But my boyfriend's hotter." Ino answered hurriedly then kissed Shikamaru on the lips, erasing the scowl on his face.
"Ugh, get a room." Neji threw a pillow at the two making-out couples. I couldn't help but to blush at how open Ino and Shikamaru with their relationship. It must be nice to have someone to kiss just for the heck of it.
And speaking of kiss…Sasuke and I…
"Maybe we will. Come on, Shika. Because you're so fucking hot when you're being jealous maybe I'll give you a treat." Ino said excitedly, dragging the now eager-looking Nara in his room.
"Oh, fuck. Really?" Neji exclaimed again exasperated and disgusted at the two. "I THOUGHT YOU'RE BETTER THAN THAT SHIKA!"
"Apparently not." I mumbled silently and chuckled when Neji just stomped off on the other side of the house away from the Nara's room which was the kitchen, where Sakura was still probably thinking of ways to make us forget about what we found out. Hinata followed her cousin saying that she's just going to prepare tea and juice before Kiba and Sasuke comes back. I nodded at her then lay my head on the center table again.
This is the first time that I remembered the accidental kiss that happened between me and Sasuke on the first day of our class. It didn't even cross my mind one bit, too focused on my mission. But why would I be? It was just accidental, unlike what Ino and Shikamaru was doing and it only makes sense since they're in a relationship. Sasuke and I are just best friend so kissing wouldn't be necessary.
But how come I suddenly had an urge to do just that?
"Crap. Uzumaki, think straight." I sat up straight and slapped my cheeks three times before standing up and followed the other in the kitchen.
The sounds of moaning and groaning are ten more times unpleasant to hear knowing that they're coming from your friends. When I came inside the kitchen, they all turned to me like they're going to ask something. I just shook my head and sat beside Hinata. "You wouldn't want to know."
"Even if we don't, we have no choice but to know since they're practically letting us hear all those sounds. Disgusting." Neji massaged his forehead with his middle and ring finger.
"So Naruto-kun, what are you planning to give Sasuke for his birthday?" Hinata turned to look at me. I'm thankful for her change of subject but then my mind panicked again since I don't have any idea what to give Sasuke for his birthday.
"Ah, Shit! I still don't know." I felt so stressed out suddenly. Just thinking about the party made my head hurt and now the present. I massaged my forehead in frustration just like what Neji was doing awhile ago.
"It's okay. You still have a lot of time. And don't be too pressured about the party, Ino and I can handle it. And I think Itachi's willing to help." Sakura reassured me and I smiled at her.
"Of course, Itachi is willing to help, after all – " Neji stopped mid-sentence wide eyed when a knife suddenly appeared near his drumming fingers on the kitchen counter.
"What were you saying Hyuuga?" Sakura growled. Her loving smile earlier was replaced with a sneer. Fortunately for him, that was the moment Kiba and Sasuke chose to come inside the house.
"Where the hell are the people around here?" Kiba shouted and was answered by a loud and long moan from a very turned on Ino. "FUCK MOTHER FUCKER!" we heard more shuffling from the living room then the kitchen door opened with a traumatized Kiba and a disgusted Sasuke.
"Seriously? I thought Shikamaru was better than that!" Kiba breathed a sigh of relief and placed the bags of groceries on the counter.
"You and me both, Dog boy, you and me both." Neji muttered slowly then drank from his cup of tea. Instead of getting offended for being called dog boy by Neji, Kiba grinned widely then gave thumbs up on our direction.
"He probably thinks he's one step closer towards his dream of approval from Neji. The poor boy doesn't know it only meant more hatred on Neji's part because of how much he detests it whenever they have something to agree with." Sakura whispered to me while we watch Kiba arrange our foods, whistling happily. "Poor boy." We both shook our heads sadly at the naïve little boy called Inuzuka Kiba.
We continued on watching Kiba and Hinata play house in front of us when I felt Sasuke moved closer beside me. I looked at him from the corner of my eyes and saw that he was holding his IPod player. I peeked at his IPod to see what he was listening but instead I was faced with a hand holding out an ear piece to me. I snatched it from his hands and placed it on my ears. I chuckled at how typical for a guy like Sasuke to listen to this kind of song. Fall out boy's 7 minutes in Heaven Atavan Halen is flowing out of the ear buds and I felt my head move to the beat of the song.
Sasuke isn't the emo type – though he loves being alone – but there's just something about him that makes you think that this kind of band just fit him. How do I know about fall out boy? Well, let's just say one of my previous confirming missions is a huge fan of fall out boy. I wasn't much of a fan back then, but now because of the guy who's sitting beside me, I got so hooked on it, I even ordered 3 of their albums. From under the cork tree, Infinity on High and Folie a deux. Before Sasuke, whenever I have a mission, I wouldn't let anyone affect me in any way possible. I don't care about what music they like or if they have their favorite food and whatnot. Hell, I don't even get stressed over a birthday party. But now, Sasuke affects me in so many ways. Like right now, what songs should I listen to, what food should I eat, is he happy with my company? I felt my breath hitched when I realized all of this.
Nope, this is only because this is my very first mission as a Wishing Messenger. Yup. That's it.
"Idiot, There's a Fall Out Boy concert next week. Want to come with me?"
Thump.
"Uh…ye-yeah, sure."
This isn't good.
"I'm sleeping my way out of this one
With anyone who will lie down
I'll be stuck fixated on one star
When the world is crushing down…"
Hope you liked it. Review? Favorite? Follow? ... yeah. I need those. :''
