Sakura and Ino walked sluggishly. "I can't believe it." They both shook from anger. "How can Naruto be so dense?" Sakura complained.
"Not only that, it's been three weeks and nothing." Ino said exhausted. "Not to mention that he changed his hair to red for some reason.
"Maybe we should…."
"Sasuke." Ino greeted with shining bright eyes.
"Sasuke." Sakura smiled from the bottom of her heart, Sasuke nodded his head as the girls latched into his arms.
"Good morning Sasuke." They both said cheeringly.
"Morning." Sasuke replied as the girls continued their conversation, "But poor Hinata even now she followed him with Menma into the nurse's office only to have the door locked on her face." Sakura said lamenting her shy friend.
"By the way Naruto has been in there for quite a while I hope he's okay." Ino remarked as soon as Sasuke heard Ino's comment Sasuke abruptly stopped walking.
"I want to walk alone." Sasuke said in a menacing voice that made the two girls immediately let go of his arm.
"But, Sasuke we have to go to class soon." Sakura said in a disappointed voice but not even that could stop Sasuke as he left the two girls alone.
Sasuke paced himself to the nurses' office and once he got there he waited for a bit before his imaginations got the better of him and forced him to open the door. There he found Naruto on the bed, his belly facing the ceiling and nurse Haruna hovering over him seductively: Naruto's shirt was opened while inside his shirt Haruna's hand touched his exposed chest. Her legs tentatively opened to Naruto's legs as her face was closed into his. Feeling betrayed Sasuke spoke bitterly, "sorry for interrupting." And closed the door.
"Is it okay to let him leave like that Naruto?" Haruna asked as she got off of him.
"How did you know?" Naruto asked shocked by the events.
'That's. A. Secret." Haruna put her hand to her lips to emphasize her words. "By the way Sasuke is getting away if you leave him like this you will probably regret it." Haruna said with some concern which convinced Naruto enough to chase after Sasuke.
"Sasuke! Sasuke, wait!" Naruto shouted as he got closer to Sasuke.
"Took you long enough." Sasuke murmured, which was unheard by Naruto who was trying to catch his breath.
"Sasuke it's not what it looked like, I promise so please don't be mad at me." Naruto said with and apologetic look making Sasuke blush.
"Then, what did happen?" Sasuke asked.
"You see I was trying to…" Naruto stopped abruptly and started to sweat profoundly.
"You see…" Naruto tried to explain but didn't know how, suspicious now Sasuke raised his eyebrow.
"Well?" Sasuke asked again but now with an impatient voice.
…
"If you don't say anything, I'm going to think you're cheating one me Naruto." Sasuke said with anger.
"I'm not, it's just too difficult to explain." Naruto looked down and started to play with his fingers out of nervousness.
"Simplify it." Sasuke growled.
…
"Naruto!" Sasuke yelled.
"I can't." Naruto whispered.
"So that's it," Sasuke said noticeably upset. "You can't trust me, is that it?"
…
"Forget it, it's none of my business anyway." Sasuke hissed as he left, making Naruto wince as he remembered how he had said those exact same words to Sasuke before.
"Sasuke! If you want to know the truth you have to ask Kurama nii-san!" Naruto shouted hoping Sasuke was not too angry to ignore his words.
The whole day Naruto was noticeably sad throughout his classes. His friend Gaara took him to the side as he was about to make his way to the cafeteria.
"Naruto are you okay?" Gaara asked in concern.
"Yeah." Naruto gave him a fake smile that easily crumbled.
"You're not a very good liar Naruto, this is just like before when Sasuke and you weren't talking to each other, remember?"
Uhm Naruto nodded his head, tears threatened to fall from his eyes. Gaara seeing his friend so vulnerable decided enough was enough. "Naruto please go out with me."
"Where?" Naruto asked a bit confused.
"I mean I want to be your boyfriend, your lover, the one who comforts you when you're like this." Gaara said softly but firmly.
"G-G-Gaaara. What, what are you talking about?" Naruto became even more confused by his friend's proposal.
"I'm tired of seeing you this way because of Sasuke, I promise to never make you unhappy so please think about it Naruto." Gaara saw Naruto blush and using how shocked Naruto was over his confession, he grabbed Naruto by the chin and pecked his friend's lips.
Naruto did not know what to do so he pushed Gaara away and left, rubbing his lips hard against his arm to erase any trace off the kiss. Naruto did not know where he was going all he knew was that he wanted Sasuke to kiss him, he wanted Sasuke to be with him at that moment but he wasn't. In the end Naruto couldn't find him.
