Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto…..goddamnit…..
Enjoy~!
Shikamaru walked out the front of the apartment building, and glanced across the street. 'Damn, that old man is on his porch again.' he internally cringed. 'Here goes nothing!' He boldly crossed the street and made it to the sidewalk outside the house. He took a deep breath and took his first step onto the walkway the led up to the house.
"GET OFF MY GODDAMN PROPERTY!" screamed the grumpy old man.
Shikamaru cringed and looked up attempting to defend himself when he froze, spotting a young blonde man walking out of the house. He was the most beautiful thing Shikamaru had ever seen. He had sun-kissed tan skin, and spiky blonde hair. There were three whisker like scars across each cheek under the most magnificent blue eyes. They were the kind of eyes that would make even Shikamaru want to do anything for the young man. "You must be Shikamaru." the angel spoke to him. 'Wait, is this Naruto? God, he's beautiful!'
"I don't care who you are, you need to get the hell off my property." Jiraiya gumbled.
"Hush Gramps, he's going to be my math tutor!" the angel said, slapping the old man on the shoulder.
"Two days into school and you already need a tutor?" the old man laughed.
"Shut up!" An adorable pout came over the angel's face. His face when back to normal as his grandfather laughed. He made is way over to Shikamaru, shoving his hand out. "Hi, I'm Naruto! And that old grump over there is my grandfather, Jiraiya."
Shikamaru took Naruto's hand, "It's nice to meet you both." He found himself not able to look away from Naruto's eyes. Naruto dragged Shikamaru into the house, not letting go of his hand, and let him up the stairs. "This is where I stay." He pointed to a door, "That's my room." He pointed at another door next to his bedroom. "And that used to be a spare bedroom, but I converted it into a TV/Study/Game room. Will that be ok for tutoring?" he asked, turning back to Shikamaru and cocking his head to the side.
"Yeah, that will be perfect." Shikamaru said. Naruto led him into the study and they sat at a huge desk in the back of the room. Shikamaru opened his backpack and took out a couple pieces of paper. "Ok, like I said on the phone," his voice much less distracted now that he wasn't looking at Naruto, "I want to give you a pretest to see what areas you will need help on." He handed over the papers.
Naruto took them and began looking them over. He pulled out a calculator and a pencil and got to work. Shikamaru waited patiently and took a look around the large room. There was a large TV and state-of-the-art gaming systems. A very nice laptop sat on the floor next to a very comfortable looking chair, and a plushy couch sat along the wall. All in all, a very nice room, except that the walls were painted the most ridiculous shade of orange.
"I'm done!" Naruto said, not even 5 minutes later.
"Wow, really? That was fast." Shikamaru said, very surprised.
"Yeah, I'm really not that bad at math, I just don't like it!" he replied, rubbing the back of his head nervously.
"Geez, then why does it say you already have a D-?" he asked.
"Well, you see, my best friend Kiba and I got the start days wrong and missed the first day of school, so I wasn't there to get the participation points from the pre-test!" Naruto explained. A beep came from Naruto's phone signaling a text message.
From: Kiba
Dude, got tickets to a My Chemical Romance concert in town! Got 3 extras, anyone you want to invite?
Naruto looked up from his phone, "Hey, Shika, do you like My Chemical Romance?"
'Shika?' Shikamaru thought, "Uh, yeah, they're ok, why?"
"We got tickets to their concert in town tomorrow, do you want to go?"
"Eh, why not? Sounds like fun!"
"Awesome! I have you're number, I'll text you the details later!"
"Sounds good Naruto. I'm going to go home and grade this pre-test. Talk to you later!" He said as he made his way down the stairs and out the front door.
Naruto watched him leave as he opened his contacts to invite a couple more people, then finally tapping out a response to Kiba with the three names.
Shikamaru crossed the street, made his way into the building, and got to his apartment. He slammed the door and sunk to the floor, sighing.
"Sounds like tutoring was rough." Shikamaru hadn't even noticed Choji was home.
Shikamaru picked himself up and made his way to the table where he pulled out Naruto's pre-test and began to grade it. "Wow, he only missed two!"
"Looks like your service hours are going to be really easy!" Choji laughed.
"Eh, I don't know about that!" Shikamaru said, as Naruto's beautiful face came back into his mind. Shikamaru had never thought of himself as gay, he just knew that girls were too troublesome for the effort they brought. But now, he was almost certain. He looked up at Choji's confused face. "Hey Cho, I think I might be gay."
Choji stared at his best friend, "I know."
Shikamaru snapped his head back up. "What?"
"Well, you've never liked girls. Even when they throw themselves at you! I guess I just assumed." Choji said.
"I guess I just never thought about it." Shikamaru laughed in response. "He invited me to a concert tomorrow."
Choji smirked, "You like this kid, don't you."
"I don't really know Choji, I just don't know." Shikamaru shook his head.
"So, are you going? I know you usually say concerts are too troublesome."
"Normally, yes they are, but I'm going."
Choji smirked again. 'This is going to be fun!'
Hooray! Another chapter down! But who knows how many lie ahead? (besides the plot bunnies of course)
