CHAPTER 7: Lesson Five: Am I ready?
The day had started out beautiful. The sun was up and there wasn't a single cloud in the sky. Why it ended up into a nasty storm, Sasuke did not know. He was running for home as fast as his short legs could take him. His knuckles were turning white from holding on his bag so tightly.
'Otousan will finally recognize me.' With that in mind, Sasuke ran even faster.
He was drenched from head to toe. His hair clung to his face, no longer in its usual spiky form. His school uniform was now soaking and hugged his small frame. He was getting tired now… He really wasn't supposed to be over exerting himself, at least that's what they all told him. But he didn't care. What mattered was what his father would say in acknowledgement. The same acknowledgement he had been working so hard to achieve for the past couple years.
Today, his hard work would be rewarded. His straight A's would finally bring happiness to his father. Those disapproving eyes would no longer be directed over to him.
A huge smile made its way to his pale face.
As Sasuke turned the block that led to his home, his pace slowed down. He stopped dead on his tracks.
Who were these people? Why were they all here?
"That's their youngest right?"
"Poor boy."
"They were such great people too."
"Such a noble family"
"Was it confirmed?"
"Hai. They've informed the eldest already."
Sasuke ignored all the stares, all the whispers. He pushed past the crowd and all the nosy people. What were they thinking just standing around his home? Did they have nothing better do?
Sasuke was annoyed. He was curios. But most of all, he was scared. Why did their eyes hold nothing but pity? Why were they directed over to him? His stomach churned. He knew something bad must've happened, but he refused to believe so.
As he made his way out of the crowd, a gentle hand was placed on his shoulder.
"Niisan?" Relief made its way to Sasuke's body, but instantly found its way out.
His brother… His perfect brother didn't look so perfect anymore. He looked shaken. Those eyes that were usually warm were filled with uncertainty and sadness. And… Were those tears?
"Niisan? What's wrong?"
Warmth enveloped him as his brother hugged him tightly. "Where are they Niisan?" Sasuke wasn't naïve. Even if he chose to believe otherwise, he wanted to know. He wanted to know what happened.
Itachi had understood who Sasuke was referring to. His brother was no fool. And that's what Itachi hated the most at the moment. He couldn't hide anything from his brother. Even if he chose to, Sasuke would find out for himself. He chose to remain silent.
"Did they return home yet, Niisan?"
"Sasuke…" Itachi looked hesitant as he stared at his younger brother. Kneeling down to face his little brother, Itachi sighed. He didn't know how Sasuke would handle this, or if Sasuke could handle at all.
'Be strong little brother'
Peering into his brothers innocent eyes, he felt his heart shatter.
'Let me introduce you to loneliness.'
It had to be done.
"They aren't coming back."
-------------------------------------------------
Sasuke woke from his dream. 'Kuso…' These dreams were persistent. They've been following him around for the past eight years. Things he chose to forget always made its way back to his mind. Things never seem to go his way. 'Life sucks.' He thought to himself silently.
With that, he got up and made his way to the bathroom.
Yet another day in school. 'Ugh.'
-------------------------------------------------
"You look like shit." Was the first thing Kiba said as he entered the classroom.
"Good morning to you too…" Naruto said, tone bland and tired.
"Did someone get lucky last night?" Kiba asked teasingly, his eyebrows bobbing up and down.
"Pervert."
Naruto had dark bags around his eyes. His hair was messier than usual. His head rested on his arms that were resting on the table. Sleep seemed like the greatest thing the earth had to offer. Unfortunately for him, he had friends. –He had 'A' friend in particular. He had a really evil sadistic friend. Said friend had pulled at Naruto's chair resulting to a blond mess on the floor.
Blond mess landed with a loud 'THUMP'.
"WHAT THE HELL KIBA!" That sure woke him up. Rubbing his abused bottom that had oh so conveniently cushioned his fall, Naruto got up, kicked Kiba in the shins, grabbed his chair, and went back to his sleep. Or at least tried to go back to sleep.
Kiba's hollers were loud enough to keep the dying alive. Naruto couldn't help but be amused at the amount of colorful words that were spilling out of Kiba's mouth. Some, he didn't even know existed.
"Damn it Naruto… I do have plans on reproducing one day!" Kiba said as he sat back down his chair.
Naruto snickered halfheartedly as sleep was starting to engulf him.
"Why are you even tired anyways? I doubt you'd be up doing anything school related…"
"Couldn't sleep." It was true actually. Naruto had been up till sunrise worrying and anticipating. Today was the day. Today was the distribution of the results, and damn was he anxious. He'd been up all night wondering what grade he got and more importantly what Sasuke would give him. 'Damn that bastard…' Naruto thought as sleep overtook him.
-------------------------------------------------
"SASUKE!" Naruto was running. Running really fast. He didn't care that his legs were burning up. He didn't care that he felt like collapsing from exhaustion. All he knew was that he needed to see Sasuke… and NOW!
Upon reaching the Uchiha mansion, Naruto didn't bother knocking. The doors were always open anyways. He rushed up to Sasuke's room, turned the door knob and opened the door. Instantly his eyes landed on the figure on the bed. He dropped the paper he was holding onto a while ago, jaws dropping along with it.
"Sa-Sasuke?" Said boy was on the bed. Said boy was on the bed topless. Said boy was on the bed topless with only his boxers on.
"Hello Naru-chan." Sasuke purred from behind Naruto.
"What the-" Naruto was shocked at the dark haired teens sudden closeness. How Sasuke managed to creep up on him, Naruto did not know.
"How did my Naru-chaaan do on his test?" Naruto felt Sasuke hug him from behind, his back resting on Sasuke's chest. The dark haired teen's chin lay on Naruto's shoulder while his hands locked onto Naruto's thin waist.
"I- I did well. I p-passed." He could feel Sasuke's warm breathing on his neck giving him goose bumps all over.
"Wonderful" Sasuke detached himself from Naruto's body. Now facing Naruto, he slowly undid Naruto's jacket, tugging on the zipper ever so slowly. He stopped as the jacket opened, hands roaming upward to the blonds neck. He traced Naruto's lips with his thumb, receiving a satisfied moan from the blond. The hand left his lips and proceeded upward, towards his nose.
"Naruto."
"Sasuke."
"Naruto!" Those fingers started pinching on his nose. At first they were light, now they were just painful.
"Sasuke? What?" A whack on his head instantly snapped Naruto out of his dream.
"KIBA!"
"NA- HAHA- RU – HAHAHAHA – TO!" Kiba was now on the floor, tears welling up his eyes from laughing so hard. "You were – HAHAHA- you were all – HAHAHAHAH – oh Sasuke!"
Naruto turned red from embarrassment. So it had all been a dream? 'SHIT!' he thought looking over at Kiba who was now turning purple due to lack of oxygen. 'I knew it was too good to be true.' He thought with a grunt.
Shikamaru and Chouji, upon seeing Kiba on the floor, literally dieing from laughter, tried calming Kiba down. After a few minutes of desperate attempts of calming the boy down, Kiba finally welcomed oxygen back to his body. After everyone had settled, Kiba took his seat next to Naruto who refused eye contact with him.
"So…"
"SHADAP." Naruto snapped knowing full well what Kiba was about to ask.
Kiba snickered at Naruto's obvious irritation. His blond friend could be so moody sometimes.
"Interesting dream-"
"I said SHADAP!"
"Care to expou-"
"EHP!"
"AWW common-"
"BAH BAH!"
"Na-"
"BOOBER HEIMEN!"
"That's not even-"
"Mary had."
"What the hell? Naruto! You're gonna have to tell-"
"A little lamb."
"Oi! Stop trying to-"
"Little lamb."
"FINE!" Kiba shut up. He turned the opposite direction and crossed his harms. He stuck his chin up in the air and pouted.
Obviously this was something Naruto wasn't willing to talk about. If Naruto would rather sing Nursery rhymes rather than tell one of his best buds about that interesting dream he seemed to be having, than so be it! He didn't want to hear about it anyway! Who cares about what Naruto fantasized about! Who cared that it involved Uchiha Sasuke- another guy! Who cared that the blond idiot was making so many suggestive sounds… Right?
"Hmph." Was all Kiba could manage to say.
-------------------------------------------------
His feet were trembling from underneath the desk making small "thumping" sounds. He was gnawing on his fingernails furiously. His heart was pounding on his ribcage like a drummer does to his instrument. The suspense was slowly eating him alive. 'Damn, two more' Naruto thought glaring at the pile of papers Iruka was holding in his hands.
"Toki, Kai." Said boy stood up from his chair and made his way over to Iruka. Grabbing his paper, he went back to his seat.
'One more…'
"Ukawara, Hikaru." A girl from behind stood, doing exactly what the previous boy did.
"Uzumaki, Naruto." Naruto stood up. He took cautious steps towards his teacher as if it were a scene of prey and predator.
As the blond teen finally reached Iruka, Iruka gazed down at Naruto face emotionless and stony.
'Shit' Naruto thought miserably. Shoulders slumping, he hesitantly grabbed hold of his paper, eyes downcast. By the stony expression on Iruka's face, Naruto already knew he failed. Without even glancing at his score, he sighed and turned to go back to his seat.
A chuckle good be heard from behind him. Naruto turned around confusion etched on his face. "What -"
"Congratulations Naruto." Iruka bent forward a little and smiled at his student, giving him an affectionate pat on the head.
"Eh?" Finally peering at the paper before him, Naruto almost gasped as he saw the score written in blobby red ink.
"84. it's a big improvement ne?" Naruto didn't miss the hint of pride in Iruka's eyes. Those proud eyes were directed towards him. He couldn't help but smile.
"YOSH!" Naruto made his way to his seat, a huge grin permanently plastered on his face.
Upon reaching his seat, Kiba's shocked expression greeted him.
"That's… IMPOSSIBLE! You… you passed! Bottom-of-the-class Naruto Uzumaki PASSED! "
"Is this- Is this some sort of parallel world I'm trapped in?"
"These chips are good."
Three heads turned to Chouji who was happily munching on his potato chips.
"Whaaat? They're yummy!" he whined.
"You think everything is good dumbass."
"You two are so troublesome!"
"HEEYYY! You ruined MY MOMENT CHOUJI!" Naruto pointed an accusing finger at his plump friend.
Flapping his hands up and down in embarrassment, Chouji grinned sheepishly. "Ahh… heh… resume, resume."
-------------------------------------------------
Naruto was excited. Maybe his dream was supposed to be some sort of sign. Maybe his dream was actually a future glimpse of his prize? Inspired by this conclusion, Naruto dashed over to Sasuke's house.
His pace slowed down as thoughts entered his head.
"What if- What if we actually do that!" He stopped walking.
'Shit! Am I even ready for that kinda stuff. I mean, he's like eighteen already… I'm two years younger… two years from being legal!' He rested a finger on his chin.
'Am I ready to be de-virgin-ized by Uchiha Sasuke!'
'EH! What if I get PREGNANT!' cocking his head to the side he slapped his hand on his forehead. 'Boys don't get pregnant baka!'
Naruto sat on the ledge of the sidewalk still in deep thought, head resting on his hands.
'Let's see… what to do. What to do.'
"Ahh! I truly am a genius! I'll way the pros and cons!" He shouted at no one in particular.
'I'll start with cons… Hmmm…. Let's see. It might hurt, that's one. Uhh…' His thoughts drifted off.
'Hmm… I'll go back to that later. Pros! It's Sasuke. That's one.' He snickered to himself.
'Sasuke's hot! That's two' He grinned.
'I like him.' Even in his head, this was said with a whisper. He blushed at the thought.
'Sasuke's sexxxy!' He almost "rawred" at that.
"It's UCHIHA SASUKE!" He squealed loudly! Anyone who might've past the squealing blond would have turned deaf in an instant.
-------------------------------------------------
"Sasuke?" Naruto peered into the room, his head sticking out from the door. It was dark. There was a figure on the bed, though it was to dark to decipher whether it was Sasuke or not.
"How'd you do?" The monotonous tenor voice sliced through the silence.
'Yup, definitely Sasuke.'
"I passed." Naruto entered the room fully and closed the door behind him.
"Wonderful." Naruto gulped.
His inner self said something like this. 'OHMIGAD! He said that in my dream! It's gonna happen! It's gonna happen!' Naruto could almost feel his brain hyperventilating at the thought.
Sasuke moved from the bed and came face to face with Naruto. To his dismay, Sasuke wasn't topless with only his boxers on. Still, the blond could feel his face heating up from the closeness.
"I made sure you'd enjoy this." Sasuke cupped Naruto's cheek as their faces drew closer and closer together. Closing his eyes, Naruto expected his first kiss here and now.
'His lips are probably soft.'
'Will he be gentle or rough?'
'Does he feel the same way about me?'
Naruto's train of thoughts came crashing down as something small, cold and rough was placed on his lips. Flapping his eyes open, Naruto came face to face with a lollipop.
"EH!" Naruto was confused. Was this a Sasuke fetish or something?
"What? Do you not know what a lollipop is?"
"BASTARD! Of course I do! But, what's it for?"
"It's your prize, Dobe!"
"MY WHAT!" Naruto glared at the small ball on a stick.
'That damned lollipop ruined everything! Curse you sugary goodness!' His glare deepened, willing it to burst into flames.
'My chances of losing my virginity to Uchiha Sasuke, stolen by candy." He sighed. The god's above must really hate him. Taking his gaze away from the offending candy, he glared daggers at Sasuke.
'Why must you torment me so!'
