Yaaay! Next chaaapter!! I'm sorry for taking so long to write it, but there's been a power outage for TWO. WHOLE. WEEKS. And therefore, I haven't been on the computer. (I know, right? I couldn't read/watch any yaoi for two weeks!! Aaaah! The first thing I did when I got back on was go on youtube and search –hard yaoi manga- xD)
PLEASE READ: This chapter begins with some SasuNaruness. FYI, for those of you who don't know: Sasuke has jet black hair and pale skin… and is really smart and everyone says he's emo even though he's not. Naruto is a strange character with too much energy and yellow hair with spikeys. And catlike whisker scars.
…And so we go…

In case you don't remember what happened in the last chapter:
Satoshi goes to lunch with Naruto, then spaces out because he doesn't want to have to deal with the lively chitchat. He 'wakes up' three hours later in the library. Daisuke comes up to him and starts talking, but Satoshi, not quite knowing why, starts yelling at him. Daisuke goes away, sad.
Then later, Satoshi goes to Dai's room to apologize. He walks in on Daisuke and Dark making out, (well actually, Dark opens the door, but it's pretty obvious what's been going on) and he says that he'll come back at another time. This is about when he starts to zone out again. Then Dark pulls him in the room and starts a major three-way between himself, Satoshi and Daisuke. When it's all over, Satoshi wakes up, and starts freaking out because Dark is saying that he gave Dai a blowjob. And… then the chapter ended. xD

(Sasuke's POV)
"Naruto?" I whispered, quietly tiptoeing up to the back of his chair. It looked like he was crying, his head lying on the desk and his arms wrapped protectively around it, but I couldn't be sure. "Are you okay?"
He looked up. Naruto's eyes were red from the tears, though they were long ago cried. His usually-talkative lips were somewhat parted.
"S-Sasuke…" Naruto whispered in return, quivering. "I… I'm sorry…" He stood up, attempting to walk past me, but I blocked him, first grabbing his shoulder, then running one finger down his damp cheek. I felt the catlike scars that had adorned his face since I knew him… but there was something else there now, as well. I suppose I hadn't seen it in the darkness, but a long wet streak traced his jawline. As I looked at my finger, I noticed that it was red with his blood.
"What happened?" I whispered, my voice heavy with worry.
Naruto stared at the ground, no longer attempting to escape. I knew that he would open up to me eventually… he always did.
"Have you met… Satoshi Hiwatari?"
I frowned. This conversation was taking an oddly unexpected twist. What did Hiwatari have to do with anything?
"Yes, I have. That new… erm… kind of easygoing… blue-haired kid?"
Naruto's eyes widened, filling once again with tears.
"Naruto?" His sobs echoed throughout the room I wrapped my arms around him, resting my cheek on top of his head. "When you're ready, why don't we talk about what happened?"
After a few minutes of tears, Naruto spoke. "I… I wanted to get to know Satoshi a little better, you know? He seemed like such a nice kid… like you said, really easygoing, but… well… we got to the lunchroom… and sat down at the usual table… and he just got really cruel. He said that we were all useless freaks of nature that had no past and no future, and that we shouldn't even exist… and all this other stuff... I tried to stand up for us… you know… I don't really remember what I said, but anyway, Sasuke turned to look at me… his eyes somehow colder than ice… and his expression murderous. And he said… 'You think you're so great, Naruto? That you can wound my ego with your words alone? You're pathetic. The fact that what I'm saying makes you get on the defensive proves that you're a weakling. I'll bet that Sasuke's only stayed with you for this long because he doesn't want to hurt your feelings.'
"Kisho glared at Satoshi… and said… that if I was really that much of a burden, I'd have to be a really great fuck. But then he said that I probably was… so Satoshi's idea was somewhat plausible… Satoshi smirked, turning back to me. He put his hand on my chin, tracing it with one fingernail, drawing blood. I don't know why I didn't run… I guess I was in too much shock, and I was debating over weather their theory could be correct.
"'Well, Naruto-kun?' Satoshi whispered. 'Maybe you should just leave Sasuke alone. I'd bet he'd like some time to be with other people. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if he was fucking other people behind your back. Right?'
"So I ran away. I vaguely remember Daisuke trying to get me to stay, I don't think he wanted to be alone with this new Satoshi, Kisho, and Krad, but I left anyway. I knocked Dark over somewhere on the courtyard, and ended up telling him the story…"
I felt tears budding in my own eyes as Naruto relayed his story to me. I held him even tighter, as though I could keep anyone else from harming him.
"Naruto…" I whispered into the darkness. "Do you seriously believe… do you actually think… that I would be with you… just because you're a good fuck? I… I…" I debated in my mind weather or not to say those words… say them for the first time in my life… those that could either start or end it all.
Naruto sniffed. "But… why else, then…?"
"I love you, Naruto. That's why. I don't think I could live without you."
It was silent for a moment. All to be heard was the steady sound of our breathing.
"Sasuke?"
"Yeah?"
Naruto looked up into my eyes, pleading. "…Make me forget…," he whispered as he captured my lips with his own.
