Bre - Here's chapter four, I've been stressed lately, and haven't had time to write, but this is what I've pulled together. I'm sorry if it's not as long as you'd like... and I need a beta... --pokes Stakeh-- please?
((Disclaimer: I tried blackmailing Kishimoto-sensei, but I still don't own Naruto T.T))
(((warnings: NaruHina goodness, and Naruto being hyper on candy))
Chapter four: Too Close For Comfort
"Okay, I'm still confused. What exactly is a dance?" Naruto whined, poking Sasuke repeatedly. They were headed from school on Friday afternoon, at around three. Sasuke sighed and swatted his hand away- " It's... well, you sure you don't know?"
Sasuke looked at him. "Do I want to know?" Naruto grinned, and Sasuke chuckled lightly, " I'm not sure. You have to decide that. A dance is a get-together type... thing. There's music, and snacks.. for a Halloween dance, you dress up in a costume and get free candy--"
He could barely finish his sentence because Naruto had run into him and knocked him over. "FREE CANDY!" He bagan to jump up and down and run in circles. "Free candy free candy free candy!" He yelled.
Sasuke sat up and massaged his temples, 'too loud...' "Hey, dobe." Naruto stopped immediately, and stood in mid-step glaring at Sasuke, " You have to find a costume first, idiot." "Well, where cna I find one of these 'cosumes'? Can't I dress as... me?"
"No, that's the point. To be something other than you. I'll take you to buy one later."
And so it became later
"Whoah..." Naruto said as they entered the Super-Fabulous-Costume-Store-Place. "Pick one and don't embarass me." Sasuke yelled to Naruto, noticing that Naruto was already heading to start looking in the back of the shop.He muttered under his breath, " Dobe."
About an hour later, they both had their costumes and headed to the cash register.
"Yay!" Naruto squealed as he set the costume on the counter, jumping with joy. "Free Candy! Free--" Sasuke slammed his hand over the hyper blonde's mouth. " You're giving me a headache. Wer'e in Public, don't draw attention to us, there might be... fangirls... around." He said 'fangirls' in the most hateful tone he could muster.
They, err, Sasuke paid and they headed out the door, costumes in hand. Naruto held his up and examined it, over and over. " Foxes are sooo cute!" He squealed, and hugged his costume close. He looked over to Sasuke, " Why'd you pick a pirate, Sasuke? Foxes are better." Sasuke shrugged.
" Nothing else would've worked well with my beautiful hairstyle, I'll lose the hat so my hair's perfect." ((no, he didn't say that.))
((What he really said)) " Don't ask stupid questions, dobe. I just couldn't decide."
Naruto sighed at Sasuke's stubbornness as they opened the door and walked inside.
I say, it's right before the dance
Naruto tugged at the hem of his costume top nervously. All that confidence. It must've gone flying out the window. He realized he had a crush on Hinata and wanted to tell her. He stayed up all night writing and saying his lines to her, what he'd say, but now he seemed to have forget them.
'Who needs lines, anyways...?' he thought. He looked at Sasuke, who he thought looked hot in his pirate costume, but not in the gay way, in the 'he's-my-friend-ain't-he-cute?' way.
They were within walking distance of the school, henceforth, they walked. "Do you... have a date, Sasuke?" Sasuke looked over at him, ignoring the blushing, "What do you think. No." He shrugged, and walked faster.
"Why not?"
"Because... well, so many girls asked me, I just got fed up with it and said 'no' to them all. I should just put a sign around my neck that says, 'I'm gay, leave me alone'. I'm not, but it'd keep some girls away. I normally wouldn't come, but I thought I should come with you so you're not alone."
Naruto nodded and they came into view of the cafeteria, where the dance was being held ((anlike in my school)), Sasuke took a deep breath and opened the door. Instantly, Sasuke was knocked to the ground by a horde of girls complimenting him and asking to dance.
This group of girls included Ino and Sakura, in matching Cheerleading costumes, trying to pry the other girls off of Sasuke. Obviously, they don't want to share.
Naruto rolled his eyes at the girls and walked off, looking around. 'Like himping him will make him like you... whores...' Naruto thought.
Naruto's PoV
I looked around and saw a few poeple I knew, but not the one I was looking for. Kiba dressed as a dog- chasing Kankuro who's dressed as a cat. Gaara as a devil, and Temari as a geisha, wathing and not caring. Tenten, dressed as a ninja, (oh, the irony). She got it all wrong.
Anyways, I saw a flash of white go by, and turned to see who it had been. Bingo, target sighted. Hinata was sprinting over to the snack bar, wearing a white robe with feathered wings in the back. An angel, it suits her well. It's very... modest... compared to Ino and Sakura.
I walked up to her and wraped my arm securely around her waist- " Hi, Hinata." She jumped, probably not expecting me to just walk up to her and, you know. " love your costume." I smiled, and she turned a lucious shade of pink. "T-thanks... I l-like yours t-too..." She stuttered, and I puller her closer. I just LOVE it when she blushes like that. I must admit, I have a huge crush on her. Actually, it could be more than that. Ew, I'm being all mushy.
"Hinata", I looked at her and grinned, "Let's dance, it's a slow song." I pulled her out to the center of the dance floor. I was desprate. "I-I c-can't dance..." She whispered to me.
It's easy! I pulled her closer, if possible, and placed her bands on my shoulders, mine planted firmly on her hips. "Follow my lead" I whispered in her ear, and she nodded. We danced through two more songs, I saw Sasuke and gave him a thumbs-up, which he returned.
The crowd of people began to cheer and form a circle to the side to us, we moved over to see what happened. Lee was berakdancing, you know. The Caterpillar, the 'spin-on-your-head' thing. The Dj put on some rap misic and Lee continued to breakdance, clad in a monkey costume. ((an on impulse!))
Guy sensei apeared as if from nowhere and joined Lee, they had matching costumes. Ew. They were breakdancing for at least five munutes, with the both of them yelling some thing about 'Youth' and 'Bursting', it's hard to tell with the music turned up so loud.
Hinata began to walk away, I pulled her out the side door away from the excitement and looked her in the eyes. Her beautiful, ivory eyes... "Hinata..." I said to her, " I need to tell you something...
