By Tuesday it was even worst. Sasuke was so distracted in his classes that at some point he even forgot to take notes. Later, at lunch break, they were sitting in the cafeteria and Suigetsu was copying his notes, as usual.
"Man, this doesn't make any sense" Suigetsu said, looking at the notebook, confused.
"What?" Sasuke asked.
Karin, who was sitting beside Suigetsu, looked over at Sasuke's notes.
"Sasuke, you're missing like, a whole page of notes." She took her notebook out of her bag and handed it to Sasuke "here take mine, you can copy them tonight and give it back tomorrow!"
"Thanks" Sasuke said.
"Hey why him?" Suigetsu whined "I need them too!"
"You don't even make the effort of taking notes yourself during class. You moron..."
"Well... what about him?" Suigetsu pointed Sasuke "he didn't take them either."
"It's different" Karin said with a smile "poor baby was distracted thinking about his cute boyfriend."
Sasuke didn't know if he should thank her or tell her to shut the hell up at this point. He opted for his trademarked 'I don't care about anything' attitude.
After classes, Karin and Jugo left first and Sasuke and Suigetsu were walking to their cars quietly. Suigetsu's cellphone suddenly started ringing with the latest hot popular song. He answered it and Sasuke listened, curious.
"Hello? ... Oh hey sexy! What's up?... Yeah I'd like that! ..." Suigetsu turned to look at Sasuke with a smirk while he was listening.
Sasuke raised a brow, suspicious.
"Yeah he'd love it! Of course he'll be there." Suigetsu said on the phone. "Can't wait to see you!... Okay, bye!"
He closed his phone and smiled at Sasuke.
"What the hell was that all about?"
"We're going to the movies! Come on get in the car!"
"What? I don't want to go to the movies with you and your girlfriend..." Sasuke protested.
"Naruto will be there."
"Oh" was all Sasuke said.
Suigetsu laughed "I knew that would make you change your mind."
"Hn... what movie?"
Suigetsu rolled his eyes "who cares! Now get in the car. We need to go pick them up. Ladies first!" he said opening the passenger's door for him.
Sasuke punched him on the shoulder, just enough to hurt him a little.
"Ow! You're not a lady, you're a bitch."
"You're an idiot" Sasuke replied.
"Just get in the fucking car."
"Suigetsu"
"What?"
"We're wearing uniforms."
"Ah... good point. That's why I like having a gay friend around to remind me of such things..." Suigetsu smiled "but, I always have spare clothes in the trunk of my car."
He opened the case and fumbled through the mess. Sasuke was suspicious when Suigetsu found his bag of clothes.
"Are these clean?"
Suigetsu looked offended "of course they are! Just choose something. We're pretty much the same size anyway."
Sasuke looked at the clothes, and he was unfortunately not surprised to see that almost everything was violet... He chose a pair of black jeans and a black long sleeve shirt with violet and dark blue patterns on it. Suigetsu took some dark grey jeans, a white v neck t-shirt and a dark purple jacket. They went in the school bathroom to get changed. They hurried back to the car afterwards, because Suigetsu didn't want to be late.
"Why do we need to pick them up anyway? Naruto has a car." Sasuke asked while Suigetsu was driving.
"Ino thought it would be more fun to go all together." Suigetsu shrugged. "So she wants me to drive."
Sasuke laughed "Man, she's already ordering you around, isn't she?"
"She's hot" Suigetsu replied as if that explained everything.
Sasuke looked out the window for a few moments, and noticed they had passed the public school already.
"We're not going at the school" Suigetsu said, reading his thoughts. "They're at Ino's place. They skipped their last class, I think."
Sasuke smiled "We're dating rebellious teenagers! What would our parents say?"
"I know!" Suigetsu laughed.
After a few more minutes, he parked his car in front of Ino's house. Sasuke recognized Naruto's black and orange car in the parking. Suigetsu got out, but Sasuke didn't follow him, so he opened the passenger's door.
"Come on let's go!" Suigetsu said impatiently.
But Sasuke didn't move an inch "why can't we wait for them here?"
Suigetsu rolled his eyes "don't you know anything at all about girls? You always have to go inside and wait for them."
"Naruto's not a girl."
"He's gay, it's the same."
Sasuke looked up at him "In case you still didn't know, I'm gay too..."
Suigetsu was getting really impatient "Yeah well do you want to be the man in your relationship or what? Come on!"
That last argument made it and Sasuke finally got out of the car and followed his friend to the door. Suigetsu knocked and Ino's father opened the door.
"Oh hey Yamanaka-san! What's up?"
"Hey Suigetsu! Come in!" the tall blond man said with a smile.
Ino suddenly appeared behind him.
"Suigetsu!" she screamed excitedly.
She was wearing dark purple skinny jeans with a white tank top and a black jacket. Sasuke couldn't help but think they were a quite a match. She threw herself in his arms and he hugged her back more than willingly.
"I missed you!" she whispered in his ear although everyone heard it.
Sasuke rolled his eyes; they hadn't seen each other for what, two days? Although he would be lying to himself to think that he didn't miss Naruto at all... Speaking of which, where was he anyway?
Ino's father cleared his throat "I'll leave you guys alone"
He went back to the kitchen. Sasuke looked around, it was a small house, but it seemed very comfortable and nice. There was a second floor where he guessed the bedrooms were.
Suigetsu and Ino finally parted.
"So I guess you already know, but Ino, this is Sasuke; Sasuke, Ino" Suigetsu introduced them lamely.
Ino eyed him appreciatively "I knew Naruto had good taste in men, but this time I am really impressed!"
Sasuke tried not to look annoyed "is he here?"
"Who?" she asked innocently.
Sasuke sighed "Naruto..." who else?
Ino frowned, looking at Suigetsu "It was supposed to be a surprise!"
"Sorry..." Suigetsu apologized "I know Sasuke, and being the antisocial bastard that he is, he would never have agreed to come if I hadn't told him."
She sighed "Naruto's been pretty hard to convince too. He wanted to go home before you arrived, but I forced him to stay! And, he doesn't know you're here!" Ino told Sasuke with a mischievous smile on her lips. "He's hiding in my room." She added.
She went to stand down the stairs "Naruto! Get your ass down here!" she screamed.
A shy Naruto walked down the stairs. Sasuke liked his outfit; he was sexy in pale grey skinny jeans, a dark blue v-neck t-shirt and a black leather jacket. When he looked up their eyes met and Naruto stopped. He still had two steps to walk down, but he was like frozen right there.
It was only a few seconds, but it seemed like forever. Naruto's blue eyes were wide and he was blushing. Sasuke was smirking, hiding the fact that his heartbeat was suddenly faster. Ino and Suigetsu exchanged a knowing glance.
Suddenly Naruto looked at Ino and burst out "you didn't tell me he would be there!"
Ino laughed "It's a surprise!"
Naruto looked at Sasuke again, his eyes asking 'did you know about this?' Sasuke shook his head slightly and shrugged, telling him it wasn't his fault.
Naruto made an effort to push his nervousness away, replacing it with a smile. Ino made the introductions for Naruto and Suigetsu, and then they were ready to leave.
Sasuke, who had stayed silent the whole time, felt like he should say something to Naruto. But all he could think of was teasing him.
"So, skipping class, huh?" It was lame, but at least he had engaged conversation.
Suigetsu laughed, but Ino and Naruto looked at him with alarmed expressions. Ino's father threw them a suspicious look from the other room. 'Fuck' Sasuke mentally cursed.
"Ino, I thought you told me your last period was cancelled today!"
"It was!" Ino replied.
"Yeah" Naruto came to her help "they wouldn't know anyway, since they're not going at our school, Sasuke teme here was just trying to make fun of me."
Mr. Yamanaka still looked suspicious, but he seemed to accept Naruto's explanation.
They told him good evening and left, going in Suigetsu's car. Ino sat at the front and Naruto and Sasuke in the back seat.
"Sasuke teme" Suigetsu laughed, looking at his best friend in the mirror "I like it, it suits you."
Naruto laughed and Sasuke rolled his eyes. But still, he wanted to apologize.
"Look, Ino, sorry about that... I didn't realize."
She seemed to melt at his words "Oh, it's okay, don't worry about it."
"Was your class really cancelled though?" Sasuke asked, curious.
"Of course not!" Naruto laughed "we just skipped; maths is such a pain in the ass..."
"Yeah" Ino agreed. "What about you, what classes do you like, Suigetsu?"
Ino and Suigetsu started talking about everything and nothing, and Sasuke soon lost track of their conversation. Instead he glanced at Naruto, who was looking outside the window, apparently lost in his thoughts. The buzzing of his cell phone interrupted his staring. He checked; it was a message from Itachi 'where are you?' He answered 'Out' and sent it just before Naruto took his phone from his hands. What was it with people stealing his phone, really? Sasuke hadn't even realized Naruto had been watching him.
"Your phone is so cool!" he exclaimed, admiring the latest technology in cell phones that his parents had bought him.
He stayed silent, watching as Naruto pressed on the touch screen, apparently fascinated by it.
"Your brother asked where you were and you answered 'out'?" Naruto laughed.
"Yeah, he's probably gonna send me something like 'smart ass'..."
The cell buzzed in Naruto's hands and he checked the message, before laughing even more. He showed it to Sasuke; and sure enough, 'smart ass' was Itachi's reply.
Sasuke smiled "we know each other pretty well."
"Must be nice having a brother" Naruto whispered more to himself, while checking some other stuff on Sasuke's phone.
"He can be a pain in the ass, but yeah it's nice... What's wrong?" Sasuke asked.
Naruto was blushing madly and looking at the cell with wide eyes. He just handed the phone back without a word. Sasuke took it and looked at the screen; it was his contact list, directly on the name 'Sexy Naru'... Sasuke blushed and was embarrassed as he remembered Suigetsu entering Naruto's number. He made a note to himself never to let Suigetsu use his phone again.
"Suigetsu you idiot!" he said tapping his friend on the head.
"Ow, what was that for?"
"For being an idiot." Sasuke repeated.
When he looked at Naruto again, he was smiling.
"It's okay, I know what it's like to have crazy friends too, believe me."
Sasuke smiled back and looked outside; they were almost there. He liked the idea of being in the dark of the movie room; sitting just beside Naruto... he couldn't wait to be there.
