1+1=My Something More...

The first feeling Sasuke woke with was dread; he wasn't sure what this day was going to be like and that by itself scared him. He had to face Naruto today, and he had to face whether or not Naruto had said something to someone. The thought of getting in trouble for this set the raven on edge; everything was still up in the air at this point.

Sighing Sasuke pulled himself from the bed, giving himself a minute to adjust to the feeling of being awake. His body was still very sore, and using the bathroom was somewhat of a hassle. But considering everything, Sasuke was happy with the way things turned out. Finally having risen from the bed, Sasuke went though his routine, taking a quick shower and brushing his teeth. Sasuke felt himself moving slower than normal, not wanting to face his brother this morning. But he knew avoiding Itachi would change nothing and he would rather put this behind him.

Making his way to the kitchen Sasuke looked around, surprised that his brother was nowhere in sight. Looking over at the table Sasuke saw that there was a plate covered by a napkin. Thanking his brother silently Sasuke sat at the table and started eating his breakfast. Just as he was finishing his bacon Itachi finally made an appearance.

"Morning," Sasuke whispered, testing the waters. He wasn't sure as to what his brother's mood was and he didn't want to make things worse, if it turned out Itachi was in one of his foul moods.

"Good morning." It wasn't ideal but it was something and something was better than nothing.

Seeing that Itachi was ready to leave, Sasuke picked up his plate and placed it in the sink. He didn't want to make it more awkward then it already was. Picking up everything he needed on his way out of the house, Sasuke was the first to get into the car.

Itachi drove in silence, only looking over once in awhile. Sasuke was sure sooner or later Itachi would get over this; he would just have to wait.

After Itachi finally pulled up to the school, Sasuke couldn't help but be paranoid as he stepped out the car. What if Naruto did tell, and he and his parents are waiting at the school? Sasuke's stomach rolled at that thought, and a big part of him just wanted to turn around and beg Itachi to let him stay home.

Taking a deep breath Sasuke continued on, bypassing his locker and going straight to his first class. The raven-haired male couldn't help but look around for any sign that he was in some big trouble. There was nothing: no cop waiting when he entered the classroom and no announcement to go to the office. Just nothing-everything was perfectly normal. Thanking whatever god was out there Sasuke made his way around the class, spotting Naruto sitting at the back of the room copying something from the book in front of him. The older teen didn't notice Sasuke walking over.

Taken his seat next to the blond, Sasuke waited for Naruto to notice him. Sasuke didn't have to wait long.

"Morn-ing S-s-sasuke." Sasuke could see Naruto was actually trying to do the greeting without the stuttering.

"Morning," Sasuke mumbled back, only glancing at Naruto. Everything seemed to be in order. Naruto was no longer wearing his orange clothes from yesterday; they were now replaced with the official school uniform. Sasuke had to admit it looked good on him, the dark blue color bringing out the blond hair.

"Did you say anything about our game to anyone?"

"No."

Sasuke sighed as he fully turned to look at the other male. Naruto couldn't be a person that would be good at lying so maybe he didn't have anything to worry about after all. Turning back around, Sasuke pulled out his books and got ready for class to start.

Once the class was finished, Sasuke took it upon himself to walk Naruto to his special class. The raven didn't know Naruto had special classes until their homeroom teacher asked if Naruto needed someone to walk him there.

The class was on the top floor with the high schoolers. Sasuke had only been up there a handful of times doing errands for different teachers. While the middle school had purple walls the high school had blue. Getting to the class was as easy as asking one of the passing students where they could find room 307.

Naruto looked a bit twitchy as he walked alongside Sasuke, never moving too far out of reach of the other male. Sasuke's calming presence put Naruto at ease. Being around so many people in such a loud environment usually left Naruto a twitching and stuttering mess.

The room was one of the last on the long stretch of hallway. Sasuke walked Naruto into the classroom and made sure there was someone inside to meet them.

"S-sasuke...are you c-c-coming back?" Naruto asked looking away from the waiting teacher.

"Ah, sure." Having taken Naruto off Inuzuka's hands yesterday made it his job to look after the other male.

Waving a hand Sasuke exited the class room. He had six more classes before he would be home free. Finally having time for himself and no longer worrying about Naruto saying something, the thought of doing it again was on Sasuke's mind.

At the moment doing it wouldn't be a good idea. Hell, doing it the last time hadn't been a good idea and Itachi had found him red-handed. There were many ways it could have gone bad, and despite that he had gotten off easy. Should he really test his luck again?

Shaking his head to get rid of those thoughts, Sasuke made his way to his next class. And to his surprise he missed having Naruto sitting next to him. In almost every class they had together, Naruto had sat next to him going about his own work all the while giving Sasuke something to look at-like the way Naruto would write with his hand a certain way or how Naruto would become lost in thought. Sasuke could always tell by the way the blond's eyes would close just a bit as his head would move a bit to the side.

Naruto was a good distraction from his daily routine. But having nothing to do about it Sasuke pushed it out of his mind in favor of just getting though the day.

Being the first to finish his work...check.

Going to sleep once that was done...check.

Avoiding Sakura and Ino…double check. Not even if his life depended on it, and sometimes he felt like it did.

He had to wait until lunch before he would be able to see Naruto again. They now only had four classes together. Taking the same way he did before, Sasuke went back up to the third floor, but this time it took longer because the high school students were also going to their lunch break.

As Sasuke was about to round the corner an arm wrapped around him. Startled, Sasuke swung around ready to fight. Finally turning enough to see who was touching him Sasuke sighed out in relief.

"Sasukeeee, what's with all the hostility man?" The unnaturally whitish purple hair gave the other male away within seconds.

"What do you want, Suigetsu?" Looking around Sasuke saw the two other teens behind him.

"Come on man we haven't hung out in forever, plus I got something you gonna like." Sasuke watched the older male pull out a small bottle of clear liquid from his pocket. The good stuff it was indeed. The boy named Suigetsu pulled Sasuke along back down the hallway.

Naruto forgotten...
