Chapter 4
Naruto
I started at him. What did this man know? Who was he to tell me what I was feeling? The one question that I kept asking myself was, how did he know? My smile had disappeared from my face. The last person to tell me they loved me was my father before he took a turn for the worse. I didn't know whether I should take him seriously or not. What did it matter anyways? I'd be gone soon enough.
"Prove it" I said. What else was I supposed to say?
Sasuke stared at me. You'd think he'd be a little more bashful.
"Come on, prove it." I stomped my foot. He grabbed my hand to pull me forward. He breathed heavily on my face. Both of his hands placed on my cheeks and traveled to my ears where they tucked my hair behind my ears and stayed on my jaw line. His look scared me, he looked so serious. I could feel the warmth radiating from his open mouth as it closed around mine.
My eyes started to close and I felt my anger subside, at him, the world, and myself… I felt his tongue tease the line of my lips. I gasped, his tongue dragged along my cheek to my ear. I shivered at the strange sensation. He whispered, "Naruto, I'd never hurt you. Why can't-" right before he was able to finish his sentence there was a banging on the bathroom door.
"I need to PEE! Hurry up!" Someone yelled outside. I snapped back to reality and shoved Sasuke back, trying to regain my anger. I wiped my lips on my sleeve and stalked out of the bathroom, carefully watching Sasuke. What the fuck was he thinking?
I tried to get pissed at the man but I didn't have the energy.
SASUKE
I stood there, imagining the boy that was just in front of me. Why couldn't he see it? The boy who had been pounding on the door scurried in and my hand flew at him. I held him by his neck.
"Idiot!" I said harshly before letting the freshmen go. He no longer had to use the bathroom.
NARUTO
Fucking Sasuke, because of him I couldn't think or focus. The rest of the day was out of focus. I couldn't smile as much seeing as my mind was on other things. Was he making fun of me? Oh my gosh, that was it, wasn't it?
The next day I found a note and flower in my locker from Sasuke. This didn't scare me as much as the fact that he knew my locker combination and what locker was mine. I turned my head from side to side; no one else was in the hall. I opened the note
Dear Naruto,
I am not giving up on you. So, smile for real today.
Sasuke
I couldn't help but let out a smile. He was actually trying. I hadn't really expected that.
At lunch I found another note as I collected my books. This one was similar as the one before, it was dark blue.
Naruto,
Let's hang out today
Sasuke
I grinned again.
"So, I'll take that as a yes?" Someone said softly, leaning against the lockers by mine.
"When did you get here Sasuke?" I said folding the note and putting it in my pocket. I didn't know if he was trying to make a fool of me or was serious so I tried not to make any facial expressions.
"I've been watching you for awhile" He said looking at the ceiling. I shivered.
"Fine, seeing as I have nothing else to do I'll hang out with you today." I slammed my locker. I swear I almost saw a smile on Sasuke's face.
"Cool, I'll meet you in front of the school" Sasuke said leaving me to carry my backpack. Asshole didn't even carry my bag for me.
AFTER SCHOOL-Naruto
I waited for Sasuke in front of the stairs. My mind kept wondering if this was a date or not. I sat down in the grass and waited for him. I was sun bathing by the time Sasuke cam with his car; "about time" I said entering the car.
"So, where are we off to?" I said flipping through his radio station.
"Surprise"
I gave him a 'really' look. It was funny how a few days ago I was yelling at him and today I was joking with him. "Well, it better be good. You made me wait long enough."
He gave me a shit eating grin.
One hour later
"We've been driving for hours! When are we going to get there?" I whined with my head against the window.
"It's only been an hour, relax."
"You are driving me to the middle of nowhere to kill me, huh?"
"You watch too much TV"
"I don't have one" silence. Great, I just ended an ACTUAL conversation.
Finally the car stopped, I looked at my surroundings, I had no idea where we were. All I knew was that we passed a mountain area. Yep, I was going o be killed by Sasuke.
"Wait here. I'll be back soon" Sasuke said before heading north. About fifteen minutes later Sasuke returned to the car. "Alright, let's go." Sasuke said.
"Can I at least say a few hail Mary's or something first?" I asked. Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"I'm not going to commit homicide"
"That's what they all say" I said to the wind. Sasuke grabbed my hand and pulled me off in the direction he had come from. "Come on." I blushed, glad he wasn't facing me. I studied the back of Sasuke's head as we walked. His hand was warm and mine sweaty. You'd think I'd pull my hand away but I didn't.
"We're here" Sasuke said pulling me forward to stand next to him. I was actually pretty impressed. A small clearing contained a large blanket and a picnic basket. Two handles were lite to keep away mosquitoes.
And the scenery…it blew me away. You could see our town that we went to school and the mountains that surrounded it.
Sasuke still held my hand. He walked closer to me and rested his hand on my shoulder.
"Have I convinced you yet?" He said. I continued looking at the sccenary, no one had ever done something so-so beautiful.
I nodded, "Yes"
Author's Note: Okay, it may seem confusing that Naruto was angsty and is now not as angsty... but it should make sense later (I hope). Please Review, I'd like to know if people like the way this story is going.
