Uzumaki Naruto, the most mischievous child of the country had come to Konoha High on a bright morning, with cherry blossoms paving his walk to school. His tutor had pulled some strings and managed to enroll him in the most prestigious school of the district because, well, he had gotten expelled from the last two high schools for being such a trouble maker. The blonde troublemaker had been warned, any trouble and the old pervert of his tutor would stop trying to educate him and would send him to military school, so he adorned his face with the most angelic smile he could muster and entered the principal's school.
"Uzumaki san, welcome to Konoha High" – the old man greeted him with a smile and signaled a chair in front of his desk.
"Thank you sir, I am honored to be part of this prestigious school, I have heard so much of the high quality education you have that I just couldn't bare not being part of your student population" – The blond gaged in his mind, but the principal had blushed and puffed his chest out so he thought he had done his job perfectly. The old man coughed and regained his composure when he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in" – he called, the door opened and a brunette boy bowed down in greeting, he closed the door quietly behind him and stared at the blond teen. "Uchiha Sasuke is the president of the student council; he will show you around and don't hesitate to ask him for help. I hope you have a great start of a year Uzumaki san" – Naruto bowed as he was dismissed.
Uchiha Sasuke was all the things he had read in magazines and the newspaper; handsome, elegant and polite, Naruto thought as he followed the other boy around. The boy had greeted all the teachers and had thrown a smile to the swooning girls, he had been perfection personified. That was, until they reached a rather deserted part of school.
"So? How did an orphan boy like you end up in Konoha High?" – He asked with disdain, Naruto blinked and pursed his lips; he wanted to process what he had heard out of the Uchiha's mouth.
"What do you mean?" – He asked. He was going to play dumb; the old perv had asked him to behave after all.
"I mean, you have no parents so no connections at all, and based on you disgusting use of the uniform I supposed you have no money either. I see how low the standard for this school has fallen" – Sasuke turned around with a sneer.
*Ok, that's it, sorry perv* - Naruto thought, he didn't even have time to register any more thoughts when his fist connected to the brunet's cheek. "You deserved that one, why are you such an ass?" – Naruto warned.
"Orphan, poor and you hit like a girl" – The other teased. Naruto breathed and threw himself at the other guy and soon enough he saw nothing but fists and kicks.

"Unbelievable Naruto, this is a new record for you. Expelled on your first day of school" – the old man was screeching on the other side of the phone.
"I told you, he started it"
"I don't care who started it Naruto, you can only thank the gods Sarutobi is my best friend, I had to begged him to re think his decision of throwing you out, and to put the cherry on the top you had to go and fight the son of the freaking owner of the whole world"
"He's an asshole"
"I don't think I can get through that thick skull of yours kid. Just don't do it again, ok?" – Naruto grunted, hoping that was enough of an answer to the old man. But Jiraiya knew that would only be the start of the blond's adventures, and so all his predictions had come to life.
Naruto had come to Konoha High with the force of a hurricane; he had marked top scores (much to everyone's surprise) in almost everything except math and physics and had given Sasuke a rival to beat in every sport. No more punches and kicks were given, for the sake of the old man's heart, but they had started to compete in every way possible. Their eyes met every time they crossed each other and every once in a while the blonde was sure to make him trip but also the brunet had slapped his notebooks out of his hands. Everything had settled down in this "normal" rivalry. Soon enough, as days bled into months everyone at school knew the two boys had this weird bond between them, they were so different but at the same time they seemed to find a way to be together for every single thing, being competing to be number one in class, to just stupidly bickering about a song, or a movie or even a book they liked.

Naruto might have been known as number one prankster in all school, but he was also known by some for his kind and pure heart. The blond had never turned a blind eye to someone in need. He had been walking to his third class when out of the corner of his eyes he saw a scrawny kid being pushed to the locker, three guys were laughing around, throwing the boys backpack to the floor and kicking it away.
"Little queer, defend yourself, be a man" – the tallest of the guys screamed while pushing the boy against the hard metal.
Naruto made his way casually to the group, a huge smile adorning his boyish features. "Seems to be rather unfair, three against one?" – He said.
"None of your business Uzumaki, get lost"
"I don't know, I just wanted to join in, mind if I do?" – One of the boys snorted
"Kick the queer then Uzumaki, all yours" – The boy looked up, he was shaking like a leaf and his bruised face was washed out in tears.
"Oh boy, you are more stupid than I thought" – he cracked his knuckles and punched one the guys in the face. "Run" – he warned the smallest boy, he pushed him away and licked his lips. "Come at me, I was starting to get bored in here"
A circle had formed around the four guys and the blond was proud to say he had knocked out one of the bullies, but he had been overconfident as he found himself slammed into the hard metal of a door, he had hit so hard he had lost focus for just a second and that had been his doom.
"You sure know how to cause trouble Uzumaki" – The blond opened his right eye and snorted. "Can you stand?" – Sasuke offered him his hand.
"I don't need your help" – The blond slapped his hand away and stood up, he staggered and lost his balance but the brunet held him by the waist, all the weight of the blond boy against his side.
Sasuke took the blonde to the infirmary and sat him down in one of the beds. "The nurse is out, I suppose I can take care of an idiot like you" – Naruto snorted once again, as he patiently waited for the boy. "You did well" – Sasuke gently cleaned his face and said nothing when the other boy hissed in pain. "Those guys will be expelled for what they did"
"I'm glad" – Naruto looked into the depths of the black eyes, he saw the small proud smile play in the lips of the Uchiha and suddenly he felt his heart skip a single beat. His rival had never been this gentle and caring before, in his life no one had cared for him like this. "I couldn't leave him get hit… I am gay too you know, I just can't…" – Sasuke laughed out loud.
"I know you are idiot"
"Wait, what?" – Naruto was taken back.
"C'mon Naruto, it's more than obvious really, you are such an idiot" – The blond had blushed so hard he knew his ears and neck were crimson red. Sasuke laughed again, it was the first time he had heard the Uchiha laugh and it was such a beautiful laugh. He had realized just now, after all this months. Sasuke wasn't only his rival, no, he was something else. And so with that thought in mind he closed his eyes and reached, for those pale lips, and when he found the response he was looking for, his heart melted.
