Author's note: Sorry this is shorter and it took me a while. Computer crashed, had to buy a new one and also college exams and moving took a lot out of me. :)
Chapter 7 recap:
"And what if I say no?"
"Well, dad is twenty feet away. I am sure I can break the news that his younger son prefers dicks over chicks."
"Itachi!"
"Deal?"
"Dammit, why do you always show up at the wrong time? This is blackmail."
"Hey Father?" Itachi called out, looking down the hall.
"Shit! Shit! Fine! I'll watch her!"
Itachi smiled, knowing he won, even though it was a cruel way to get Sasuke to babysit. What other option was there that was as entertaining as this one?
"She's downstairs. I will send her up when I leave. Thank you Sasuke."
The older brother left the room, closing the door while Sasuke was too busy glaring.
"Your…brother seems nice."
Chapter 8:
If any morning was as long as this one, Sasuke was sure he was going to go insane and never return to school. Monday mornings were always the worst, even for a guy like Sasuke. He dreaded Mondays and what did he have first thing in the morning? AP Chemistry, It wasn't the class material that was torturing Sasuke to the point he wanted to jab his eyes with his pencil or dump flammable liquids down the drain and catch it on fire. He was sitting in the chemistry lab, white gown, goggles and a lab partner who knew nothing about what they were learning. First thing on a Monday morning; if he hadn't stopped his partner from pouring the wrong liquid into the beaker, half the class would be up in flames by now and Sasuke was sure he would have third degree burns, no hair and revenge. The sound of angels singing "alleluia" arrived when class ended and the sound of the class period bell rang. Naruto arrived before Sasuke at their lockers and by the smirk on Naruto's face, Sasuke was sure Naruto was up to no good.
"So Sasuke. Have plans tonight?"
Scrolling his combination into his locker, he traced his memory for any activities he had on Monday nights or if there was anything his parents may have told him. He couldn't think of anything special going on.
"No. Why?"
If Naruto's grin became wider, he would look like the Disney's version of the Cheshire cat, and that cat always scared Sasuke since he was little.
"Well, Kiba, Gaara and I were planning on going to the movies tonight and maybe go get dinner afterwards."
"Since when did you have money to go out?" Sasuke questioned, grabbing his books from his locker before closing it.
"Hehe! Well, Kiba is paying for me."
"No. He is not." Sasuke exclaimed. Naruto froze after hearing that serious tome come from the Uchiha.
"Sasuke. You know I don't have the money to pay for all of this. Kiba said his mom will give him a few dollars extra Whats wrong with that?"
Sasuke couldn't help smirking. "Well dobe, lets just call this our first official date as a couple and I will pay for the both of us." He said smoothly, leaning in closer to the blonde until their noses were almost touching. "After all, you and I have not had an official date and I do not consider you coming over to my house to work on a project as a date. Not to mention babysitting."
The space between them grew as the five minute bell rang and students were on their way to class.
"How about we finish this conversation at lunch Teme? It will give me more time to think about it."
Before the bell rang, Naruto was running down the hall to his class as Sasuke turned to walk into his just across form where his locker was. Tonight was going to be fun.
-5pm-
Naruto had agreed to accept Sasuke's first date offer and agreed to let Sasuke pick him up at five in the afternoon at his apartment. They were to meet up with Gaara, Kiba, Hinata and Neji at the Ramen Restaurant on front street, less than a mile from the movie theater. When they arrived, they saw their group already seated at a corer booth with their drinks.
"Hey guys!" Naruto yelled as he slid into the seat next to Kiba and Sasuke slid next to Naruto. They all looked more dressed up than normal but not too fancy either. A waitress walked by and took the Blondes and the Ravens drink orders and left only to return a few minutes later with their drinks.
"Naruto? Why did you order hot chocolate?" Neji asked, watching the Blonde use his spoon to eat the whip cream on top.
"Because I felt like drinking something hot. Plus I like this white stuff they serve it with." He answered, taking in a mouthful of whip cream.
"I am sure Sasuke serves hot stuff that's white as well." Kiba added, only to get hit across the back of his head by Hinata and Sasuke leaned over Naruto to add another smack to the back of the brunettes head.
"God dammit! I was just saying! It was a joke! A joke!"
"We don't want to hear perverted jokes from a pervert while we are about to eat dinner." Gaara added. "It might give us bad images."
Kiba took time to think about what Gaara had just said. "God no! The image! Get it out!" He yelled as he held his head and smacked it on the table.
"Hey watch it! You almost spilled by drink!" Naruto exclaimed, holding the mug close to his chest.
"Why is going out in public always so humiliating when we have Kiba and Naruto along?" Neji sighed.
The group arrived fifteen minutes before the movie was suppose to start and headed in the theater. They always liked getting there early to get the best seats and made their way to take up the middle section in a row and silently chatted.
"Hey Sasuke?" Naruto leaned closer to whisper to him.
"Hmm?"
"Thanks."
"For?"
The Blonde was hesitant to answer and thought about letting Sasuke figure it out on his own, but he wasn't cruel and he didn't want Sasuke thinking about why he was thankful when they were suppose to just relax and enjoy the movie with each other.
"Well. For dinner and this movie."
Sasuke smirked, leaning in closer until his breath was felt on Naruto's cheek.
"My pleasure, dobe." He whispered and added a small kiss on his cheek.
"That movie was awesome" Kiba yelled, throwing his hands up in the air as the group walked out of the theater to their separate cars. "I mean, damn! The graphics were top notch! No wonder it was crowded! I could watch that movie a hundred more times and it would still be awesome!"
"Kiba calm down." Hinata added, trying to place her hands on his shoulders to help, which didn't.
"I know! I mean fuck! Who knew that one of the main characters would go evil like that and his best friend would have to fight him later on! Damn, I wish I was awesome like that and can do the moves they could!" Naruto jumped up onto Kiba's back, pushing Hinata aside and Kiba took off jogging in front of them towards their cars.
"Shit. We just get out of a theater and already they are being dumbasses." Neji exclaimed, watching Kiba throw Naruto off his back onto his car and started a small wrestling fight which ended up with both falling off the hood of the car into the pavement.
"Oi! Dobe! Don't get your nice shirt dirty."
Naruto loosened his grip on Kiba's neck and looked at the four watching them. "Why? It's my shirt anyways."
"Yeah, and you will have to clean it later. Get off the damn ground." And before Naruto knew it, Sasuke grabbed his arm and primed him from Kiba's grasp.
"Haha! Whoa! Calm down Sasuke!"
"I am calm you dick!" Sasuke hissed, checking Naruto's appearance. "Damn it Naruto! You ripped a hole in your pants!"
"Wow Sasuke, your such a mother." Kiba mumbled.
"Fuck, I bought these pants for him. I have the right to."
The entire group shot a look at Sasuke and Naruto. The blonde was blushing rather heavily and avoided eye contact.
"You bought him clothes Sasuke?" Kiba asked, getting off the ground as well and wiping his pants and shirt off.
"He needed some. I wasn't going to let him carry on with the clothes he did have."
"Why would you go so far?" Neji asked, crossing his arms. "It's not like you to be charitable or even care so much."
Sasuke nor the group knew how to respond to that. It was more of a rhetorical question nonetheless. They all knew it was because Naruto always got reactions out of Sasuke and even made him change his personality. Neji just wanted to see Sasukes reaction and see if he would admit anything they all knew. At that thought, Sasuke turned and started to walk towards his own car, ignoring what the other's were saying as Naruto watched his receding back.
"Naruto?" Gaara asked.
"Yeah?" he turned towards the rest of the group.
"You have a strange power over Sasuke."
"Naww." Naruto giggled as he went to scratch the back of his head. "He just only lets a few people get to know him."
"You mean one?" Neji corrected. "He only acts this way when your around. Don't get me wrong, I like it, I just wish Sasuke was like this more with other people besides his mom, his brother and you. Your the only one outside his family that he gets protective around."
"Yeah, and even I could tell he was jealous." Kiba snorted and grinned as he placed his hand behind Hinata, resting it on her hip.
"Jealous? Of what? What did I do to make him jealous?"
"You were having physical contact with Kiba. As soon as he saw that, he went protective and when you didn't listen, he snapped. You think he is going to let you be touched by other people?" Neji explained, watching the Blonde think about what he said. They were interrupted when the horn to Sasuke's car sounded and echoed in the parking lot.
"But Kiba and I were just playing." Naruto added, feeling a little bit guilty that Sasuke would feel jealous of him and Kiba fighting.
"He's just afraid to loose you that's all."
"Loose me? We just started dating! I mean before that, we acted like enemies and hated each other. He even ignored me like my life wasn't worth a dime on the street. I mean, I still don't even know if he truly likes me since our dating situation started while we were drunk."
The group felt a bit convicted, leaving them in the prank's lie that everyone else knew except them. But Gaara and Neji both knew about their attraction Naruto and Sasuke had for one another and knew neither of them were going to make the first move, so they did.
"Well, I got to get going. Sasuke's probably thinking of a way to kill Kiba in his sleep." He joked and turned to head towards Sasuke's red car.
"So when do we tell them?" Kiba asked. Neji and Gaara looked right at the burnette, knowing he didn't know that Sasuke's and Naruto's relationship started way their freshman year of high school, they just never knew it or made it official.
"Kiba, your in idiot." Gaara added before turning to Neji's car and got in his passenger's side.
"Wait…what? How am I an idiot! It was a fair question!" The group just shook their head, leaving Kiba out in the dust to wonder what made him an idiot. Ignorance sure is blissful.
