Chapter 3.

Mask of Indifference.

No one had ever been this…kind to him.

A thing as simple as holding an umbrella over his head and yet it made his heart beat so much faster that it hurt. Ha wanted to smile, laugh and thank him with everything he had. He wanted to forget, give up on the mask he held so tightly over his face and shout out freely, not bound by his pride and fear.

But he remained immobile, the words caught in his throat.

Due to the obvious lack of reaction on Sasuke's behalf the blonds face was consumed by a sheepish smile as a blush crept across his cheeks. He gulped and produced an 'Um' sound, his eyes fleeting to his feet.

A few minutes passed before Sasuke made the initiative to speak.

'So what's your name boy getting drenched while holding your umbrella over me?'

'Naruto Uzumaki.'

There was a pregnant pause as Sasuke stared at him, wondering if he should tackle Naruto. In the end he decided to step closer for intimidation but today wasn't his day either so he tripped.

And fell.

Into Naruto's arms.

To catch Sasuke, Naruto had released the umbrella which now lay discarded, their body heat being all that they needed.

Now Sasuke too was blushing, unable to move, he tried to glare up at Naruto. Useless. The guy wasn't even looking at him, his head was tilted up to the sky, water rolling down his neck and oozing into the fabric of the orange shirt.

'I h-have a bike, I can give you a r-ride home.'-finally said the blond.

Sasuke shivered from disgust.

'I'm not bum-ridding you!'-he shouted, suddenly finding the strength to push himself off and away from Naruto. The later looked absolutely scandalized at the statement.

'I'm not asking you to fuck me!'-he screamed back. By now they had quite an audience, the patients and a couple of the nurses stood behind the glass doors.

They stood still for a few more seconds, glaring at each other then Naruto gave up on reason and grabbed Sasuke, slinging him over his shoulder.

'I don't care what reputation you have as Sharingan but you'll have to settle for me and my ride.'-came his voice, surprisingly relaxed despite Sasuke's momentary insanity as he started screaming things like 'Rape!' and 'Racism!'

For the duration of the ride Sasuke occupied his mind with the madness of the whole situation. How the hell had this guy even found him?

He still didn't know who to thanks, Neji or Sai for rescuing him and there was Itachi…

Now, he knew that his brother was far from sane…

But to leave his brother stranded like that? Unless this was all a plot made by Kakashi to film the leader of RunAway hugging another guy…

The wind rushed through his hair and soaking wet clothes which probably weren't wet anymore but the effect was the same; freezing. He tried to concentrate on the road, wondering whether or not Naruto knew the way to the mansion but found this too hard as dizziness overtook him and it was suddenly too hot to think.


He woke up in a room with a foreign smell and was greeted by beige walls and deep red sheets that covered him.

He was naked.

This wasn't the hospital; he figured that much out without any outside help but the next part was harder.

No clothes.

He really was obsessing over the lack of clothing…

Deciding that it was the least of his worries…alright, he had to convince himself that it was the least of his worries for about ten minutes, he pushed aside the blanket and stood up, pulling back the yellow curtain that hung over the window.

'Yo, Sasuke.'-was the greeting he received as he came face to face with Kakashi.

Silence.

He really did try to process this through his brain.

It's short, nothing new there.

Ok, thanks for reviewing…which means like 3 people…

This story is getting too weird…haha, I want to make it a little more serious because lately I've been feeling really down but it's supposed to be humorous and fun to read…which it obviously isn't since no one seems to review…really, it only takes like a minute of your life…

Well, it IS your life so I suppose…

Anyway! Thanks for reading, currently on 1148 hits so yay...
