Sorry it took me so long to get this chapter out! I suffered from writers block, plus I had so much shit to do this past week. BUT I've got it up now! So, you better be happy! Hahah
This chapter is a little different than the other because it's in Sasuke POV! Woo! Into the mind of the Uchiha. There's a lot of romance and gushy stuff, because that's just how Sasuke is in this story. He's a big cheese ball.
Thank you once again to skittleheart. It was easy to understand your half asleep typing, because my friend's type was worse Hahah
Anyways, read on!
Chapter Nine
I woke up before the sun had time to rise, like I usually did, though something I usually didn't do was wake up to the person that meant the most to me. When I peeled open my eyes and saw Naruto's angelic face lying so close to mine, my heart swelled with all the memories of last night.
Well, not like that.
I wish I could of taken a picture of him. He looked so…I don't know. Just something. Usually his face was scrunched up with some raw emotion. No matter how hard he tried to hide his emotions, he was never good at it. But while he slept he was so relaxed, his blonde bangs brushing his forehead and his lips parted slightly, showing his straight white teeth. His nose twitched in his sleep and for a second, his eyes squeezed, but then he sighed and closed his mouth, smiling. I held back a chuckle, reaching my hand over and tracing the whisker like markings on his left cheek.
I love him so much it hurt.
Deciding to be a good…boyfriend? I wondered if we were dating now? Hm. Probably, with the way he threw himself at me last night was a sort of indicator that we just might be dating. But anyway, I slowly crawled out his bed and walked across the room to our phones that were charging. I turned my phone off and his as well. Screw school. I just wanted to make him breakfast, wake him up and spend the day cuddled up on the couch watching Young and Restless-
Not that I watched that.
I meant Shark Week.
I quietly snuck out the room, though I could probably stomp out the room and Naruto still wouldn't wake up, then trotted down the stairs, scratching the back of my head as I walked into the kitchen. What to make, what to make. I opened the fridge, stared in it without seeing and thought to myself. Naruto was a big eater. He liked his food and he liked it good. Yes, he was a Track Star, but he ate like an obese child. High metabolism. Lucky bastard.
But the point was bacon, eggs and some toast was not going to satisfy him. I tapped my foot as I tossed around breakfast foods in my head. I could always make Egg Benedict, but that would take too long and Naruto might not eat it. Hm…simple, gotta think simple and filling… My eyes landed on the bacon, a bag of ham and turkey, cheese, eggs and some sausage. Slowly, the thought came to my mind before I even recognized it as a thought.
Omelet.
Thirty minutes later, I was carrying two plates on top of two cups up to Naruto's room. I made each of us an omelet. His was huge, filled with all the good ingredients I could find in his fridge and around the pantry. Mine was just a bit tinier, I couldn't burn this off as fast as he could and since I wasn't going to work out today, I needed to eat healthy at least. I only had ham, egg and cheese. Small, but enough to make me happy.
I pushed Naruto's room door open with my foot and walked across the room, setting the cups down on the end table, then grabbing the plates off of the top of them. I set the plates next to the cups and leaned over Naruto, putting my mouth by his ear.
"Naruto." I whispered, kissing his temple gently and he twitched. "Wake up." Using my hand, I shook him a bit, keeping my face close. He took in a long breathe through his nose, his chest and chin touching as his face scrunched up tiredly. I smiled and cupped his cheeks in my hands. His eyes parted slightly, but snapped back shut when I gingerly kissed him. I swear every time we kissed, my heart had a conniption. Just for a second, I would get so nervous that I forgot how to kiss, then all my senses came slamming back into me and I felt everything like I had hyper awareness. His hair was always ten times softer, his skin cooler, his body, which I could feel shaking beneath me, pressing against mine. He was so intoxicating. I ached for him. I love him.
"Mm, Sasuke." Naruto mumbled through the kiss and I leaned back, looking down at his sleepy face. His blue eyes were shining and that made me smile. "What's that smell?" He asked almost making me laugh. I pulled back all the way and grabbed his plate, holding it up.
"I made breakfast." His face filled with wonder and excitement.
"I love you." He said, sitting up quickly as though he hadn't just been sleeping. I chuckled this time, handing him the plate and grabbing mine. I positioned myself next to him, leaning against the headboard and began eating my omelet, watching him out the corner of my eye. He used his fork to expertly cut his entire omelet up into bite sized pieces. That was something I noticed recently about him. He liked eating his food like that, which is why, I suspected, he liked chicken nuggets. I use to eat like that. Perfectly ripping my food apart to a certain size, but then I realized how weird that was and I fought that urge. I remember one time when I was sitting with Neji and had started tearing apart my pepperoni roll and he started making fun of me. Back then, I was embarrassed, because I was just trying to fit in, but now. I kind of wish I would of hit him. Many times.
"This is delicious." Naruto moaned, snapping me out my daze and I looked back over at him, blinking slowly. He was chewing on a piece of the omelet, looking like he was in heaven. He should of remembered how good of a cook I was. Back in our Freshman year, he would come over every once in a while and I'd make him food. It was only two years ago, though it felt like forever.
"I tried." I chuckled and he looked at me, his blue eyes shining.
"No you didn't." He said. "If you would of actually tried, I would probably die when I took my first bite." Rolling my eyes, I smirked shortly. Maybe my lips fell too quick or my face looked the wrong way, but the shine in Naruto's eyes faded and he gave me a concerned look. "What's wrong?" He asked, dropping his hand so his fork clattered on his plate. I raised an eyebrow at him.
"Nothing." I shook my head. Okay maybe I was feeling a bit nostalgic about the past and my mind started wandering to all the mistakes I made, but I didn't think my face was showing it. Naruto stared at me for a long time and I really wished I could read his mind. What was going on in there? Was it as messy as mine? Or was his organized? Easy to maneuver and think about things? I highly doubted it though. The way Naruto would always paused for the longest times or muscles on his face would twitch, showed that he had a hard time thinking as well. Though his face was completely still now and his eyes were cold and hard, feeling as though they were staring straight through me. Maybe he was reading my mind?
Suddenly, his eyes widened and he jumped up, holding onto the plate. Of course he wouldn't let his omelet fall. I flinched and clutched my own plate, staring up at him as he stood on the bed with a frantic look about him.
"School!" He screamed, jumping off the bed and running towards his dresser. "We're late!" He carefully set his plate down, then snatched his phone up, pressing the power button, but of course the screen didn't light up. Well, it was only obvious to me. "My phone's broken!" Naruto cried out, dropping to his knees and shaking his cell. I let out loud laughter, clutching my stomach and throwing my head back. Man, he was such a catch. I wiped a tear from my eye and looked back to him. He was looking over his shoulder at me, breathing hard with a red face. His lips were white and drawn in a straight line and his eyes were squinted at me.
"Naruto, I turned your phone off. I thought we'd ditch school today." I told him and he looked down at his phone, holding in his power button. It turned on and he sighed, falling onto his butt. He looked back at me.
"Oooh the Quarterback cutting school," Naruto said in a teasing voice. "And the gay kid he's living with isn't there either. That's gonna cause a disturbance among the force." I chuckled lightly, giving him a soft look.
"I don't care what anyone says." I said. "Today, tomorrow or the next day. As long as I don't lose you Naruto, I don't care if everyone ignores me." I saw Naruto's cheeks turned a faint pink, before he looked away, turning his back on me. I smiled.
"You're so cheesy." He grumbled, playing with his phone. I set my plate on the end table and stood up, walking over to him. I sat down behind him and wrapped my arms around his shoulders, nuzzling my nose into his neck. He smelled like…him. He always had a really good natural smell. I closed my eyes and sighed, feeling him shiver. "So what are we going to do all day?" Naruto asked me and I shrugged softly.
"Whatever you want to." I mumbled against his neck.
"Can we go out to a fancy restaurant, walk in the park and cuddle up on the couch at midnight and watch bad movies until we fall asleep?" Naruto asked, taking large breath when he finished. I lifted my head some, knitting my eyebrows.
"And you call me cheesy." I said and he laughed quietly, leaning back against me. "Do you want to go out to eat?" I asked him, lifting my hand up and stroking his hair. It was so soft. Always so incredibly soft.
"Later." Naruto said, twisting his body some and looking at me, his cheeks slightly red. "I'm still sleepy." I smiled.
"Go to sleep then." I told him, falling onto my back and holding him against me still. He let out what only I can call a giggle, then dropped his head on my chest and closed his eyes. A long breath followed his silence and I closed my own eyes. I had never felt so much bigger than anyone, except when it came to Naruto. He was such a little thing. I broke six foot and he still hadn't reached my shoulder, plus he was half my torso size. Sometimes, I felt like I would touch him too hard and he would break, but I always wanted to squeeze him so tight.
Suddenly, I felt lips press against mine and I instantly responded. I had noticed him moving around, but I didn't think he was going to kiss me. Not that I minded. No, I didn't mind at all. I laid my hands on his back, holding him close and he pressed against me, straddling my hips. His fingers found their way into my hair, tugging at random strands and I squeezed his sides, sitting up and kissing him harder. He sighed into the kiss and I broke it after, pressing my lips against his jaw and slowly down his neck, sucking on his collarbone and he groaned quietly, making me smile. I pushed him down on his back, sliding my hands up under his shirt, gently running my fingers up and down his sides. I bit down on the side of his neck, making him buck his hips. Wanting to see his reaction, I stuck my tongue out and licked up the length of his neck to his ear, gently sucking on the side of it. Naruto moaned, then pushed me back some. I looked down at him. His face was red and his eyes were darker, but not in a bad way.
"What?" I asked, smirking playfully and he pouted at me.
"Stop teasing me." He was so cute. I chuckled softly and leaned down, kissing him gently. I was about to say something, but his phone started going off. We both paused, before I reached over and grabbed it, looking at the caller id.
"Your mom." I told him and he shrugged.
"Answer it." I nodded. His mom loved me, she thought I was the sweetest and most kindest boy she had ever met. What can I say?
"Hello?" I answered.
"Sasuke?" Naruto's mom's voice came across, confused.
"Yes, ma'am."
"Oh good, I was calling to talk to you anyways." She said, making me raise an eyebrow and sit up.
"You were?" I suddenly felt like something was seriously about to go wrong. I was trying not to freak out so Naruto didn't get worried, but he could already tell something was wrong.
"Yeah, Ino's been driving me mad over here, because she can't get a hold of you. She says your phone's not working?" She pointed out and I swallowed hard, standing up. Naruto grabbed my ankle as I started towards the door, but I just held up a finger and walked out his room.
"Uh yeah, I broke it, but I got a new one. I just haven't gotten time to give her the new number." I lied, biting my lip softly.
"Well, she already went to sleep, but I can have her call you when she wakes up. I know you probably miss her." She told me and I cringed. Damn. Damn. Damn. Damn. Everything was going down hill. I knew I would have to tell Ino about Naruto and how I felt, but I was afraid of what would happen after that. "I have a pen and paper, you can give me your new number." Naruto's mom said and I suddenly felt resentful towards her. Stupid, caring mother. I told her my number. "Alright, well, I talk to you later, Sasuke. Tell Naruto I love him. Bye, bye."
"Bye." I pinched the bridge of my nose, hanging up the phone and sighing heavily.
"So, what was that about?" I heard Naruto's voice behind me and I closed my eyes, praying that I could get this out the right way. In fact, I didn't even know what I was going to say.
"I still haven't told Ino." I said and he was quiet.
"Okay?" Naruto urged me to go on.
"I don't know if I can." I revealed. I honestly didn't care about what anyone thought about me and Naruto dating or doing whatever we were doing, but I did care about what his parents thought. If I broke up with Ino for her brother, would his parents hate me automatically? Because I know Ino would and if Ino hated me, I would barley be allowed over to see Naruto and that would be frustrating. Naruto's parents took family serious and I don't know how this would go over with them.
"Okay." I couldn't place the emotion in Naruto's voice, so I turned around and looked at him. His eyes were downcast as he stood in his doorway, hand on the frame. I saw that he was upset. I wonder if he thought I was saying I didn't want to be with him, because that wasn't what I was saying. Not at all. Not in a million years. "I think…we should just…not do this." I felt panic stir deep in my chest and there was a long, stretched out silence between him and I as his words sat in the air. I kind of wanted to hit him.
"What?" I asked incredulously and Naruto looked at me, fierceness and anger in his eyes.
"Don't what me." He snapped. "If you can't tell Ino, then you can't have me. I'm not going to sit here and wait for you like some obedient puppy." He lifted his hand, then let out a strangled scream. "And if I had a door, I would slam it!" It took a lot of self control not to laugh at him.
"Listen, I'm not choosing Ino over you if that's what you're thinking. I'm just thinking ahead of time. If you had to act like my best friend so Ino could have me over more often and hang out with me a lot, then what do you think your parents are going to do if I break Ino's heart to be with her brother? She'll hate me, which means your parents will hate me and then that means no more Naruto and Sasuke hanging out." I explained, trying to stay calm and he crossed his arms tightly, tapping his foot. He looked away from me and stared hard at his door frame. I smiled gently and walked over to him, cupping his face and turning it so he looked at me. He had tears in his eyes, from anger or sadness, I couldn't tell. I leaned down and kissed him softly. "You know I love you." I told him.
"You promise you'll never choose Ino over me?" Naruto asked in a small voice and I couldn't help but to chuckle.
"Promise." I nodded and he wrapped his arms around my torso, leaning his head on my chest. I put my hands on his back, kissing the top of his head. I wonder if he could tell I was shaking.
"So, I was thinking…" Naruto mumbled to me as we sat on the couch downstairs, watching T.V. Okay, yes, I'll admit it. I watch too much television for my own good.
"You shouldn't do that. I don't want you to hurt yourself." I teased him, holding him tightly and he elbowed me gently, laughing. I was lying against the arm rest and he was laid out on top of me, his back on my chest. But he suddenly spun around and leaned over me, looking serious.
"I think we should tell Neji and Kiba before the whole school finds out." He suggested and I tilted my head some. That wasn't such a bad idea, but then again, Neji's reaction was the second most thing I was fearing the most. No matter how much Neji pissed me off, he was still my best friend. Well, as much of best friends we could get. We were weird friends. Kiba…well he was usually just a tag along. Wherever Neji was, you could pretty much find Kiba. I never pegged them as friends, but they sure were close. Maybe Neji's best friend was Kiba and not me. Or maybe we were all best friends. Though me and Kiba never really talked much. Hell, I don't know. That's girl shit. "What do you think? We could invite them over now. It's five, school's out and I highly doubt their doing anything important." Eh, he could be right.
"How are we gonna tell them?" I asked and he raised an eyebrow.
"Just tell them." He sat up between my legs. "Hey Kiba, Neji, what's up? Did you see that new movie? Me and Sasuke are gay together. Want something to eat?" He said and I laughed loudly, shaking my head. He was something else. "It'll be easy." Naruto pressed his hands against my chest.
"What if they don't take it good? What if they hate us?" I asked, watching whatever he was doing. He shrugged.
"Weren't you the one saying that you didn't care as long as you had me?" He grumbled and I smiled, running a hand through his hair.
"I meant that." I replied. "Let's call them over." I reached to the coffee table and grabbed my cell phone, turning it on. All my contacts were able to be transferred to my phone, so I easily found Neji's number and pressed call. It rang about three times before he answered.
"Yeah?" I heard someone talking loudly in the background.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Hanging with Kiba at my house." He answered.
"Wanna come over to Naruto's? I have something to tell you guys." I said, trying not to chew my lip. If I said I wasn't nervous, I would be lying. Neji was a close friend and I had a feeling he wouldn't be okay with this. Like at all.
"Sure. Be there in ten."
"Alright." We ended the line, no use for goodbyes or anything. Naruto stared down at me and I felt like he knew I was nervous. Maybe with his hands on my chest, he could feel my quickened heartbeat. "This is gonna be fun." I sat up, wrapped my arms around his waist and pulled him down to me, pushing my face into his neck. Every time I was around him, I felt this overwhelming sense of emotion. Love, happiness, excitement, content. It was always like this and I liked it.
"Should we get out some snacks or something. The way to a man's heart is through their stomach." Naruto pointed out.
"Maybe to yours and Kiba's, but Neji's a little different then most men." I told him and he shrugged, sitting up again, but not too far away.
"True, maybe we should bring him some puppies to kick." Naruto teased, but then again…I don't know if he was really teasing. Neji did kind of give off the effect of a puppy kicker. I chuckled and pulled Naruto down for a short kiss. "Shouldn't we call Kiba?" Naruto asked.
"He's with Neji." I said and he ohed. "And what about your friends? Shouldn't we tell them?"
"Well, Sakura already knows, doesn't she?" He narrowed his eyes at me for a second. "And Shikamaru already knows I'm gay and he wouldn't care if I had a boyfriend or not. Unlike your friends who don't know you're gay."
"Did you just call me your boyfriend?" A sly smile crossed my lips and Naruto's cheeks turned red. He moved away from me, rolling his eyes.
"There's nothing else I could really call you." He cleared his throat. I laughed and reached over, grabbing his hand and intertwining our fingers. His cheeks got darker, but he looked at me.
"That's all I want to be called." I gave him what I hoped was a heartwarming smile, which I think it was because Naruto gave me a perfect one back and gripped my hand tightly. If an Angel existed in my life, he would be the one.
A knock on the door startled us out of our romantic stare down and I blinked slowly. Damn, they were here already? They must of ran over here. I mean, Neji didn't live that far away, but I figured he'd actually take ten minutes since he said ten minutes.
"That was fast." Naruto grumbled, standing from his couch and I tried to follow him, but I couldn't move. I was literally frozen with fear and it took my brain a second to feel it creep up like an icy chill. If there was someone I was completely terrified of telling, it was Neji. And Naruto's parents, but this was closer then them finding out. I knew Neji wasn't going to take this good. I wondered how bad he would take it? I honestly and truly cared about what Neji thought, not exactly about me, but…okay, yes, about me. "Are you coming?" Naruto snapped me out of my daze and I slowly looked up at him, realizing something.
I could make it. Even if Neji completely banished me from his life and made fun of me for the rest of my life. I knew I could do anything, because I had Naruto. The boy I wanted ever since I met in Ninth grade. He was always so full of life and his smile just melted me. I loved him. Always have, always will. And if Neji can't accept that, then that's okay, because I know Naruto's going to accept me no matter what kind of person I am and that's all that matters.
"Yeah." I nodded and stood off the couch with him, both of us heading to the front door. Someone knocked again and Naruto opened the door in the middle of it. Neji and Kiba stood at the doorstep, looking curious.
"Sup nerd." Neji smirked at Naruto, walking passed him into the house. He ruffled Naruto's hair and Naruto blushed, fixing his locks once Neji's hand moved.
"I'm not a nerd." He grumbled.
"Hey." Kiba greeted in a friendly way, closing the door behind himself and kicking off his shoes. Neji did the same, but in a neater manner.
"What'd you want to talk about?" Neji asked, putting his hands into his shorts pockets and looking directly at me. I almost said 'You better hold onto your socks, because I'm about to knock them off', but I held it back. Sometimes, I don't know what the hell my mind's doing up there.
"You might want to sit down." Naruto said for me, heading towards the Living Room and Kiba's eyes widened some.
"Oh God, did someone die?" He asked and I snickered.
"No." I shook my head and followed Naruto, which in turn, made Neji follow me and Kiba him. We all walked into the Living Room, me and Naruto sitting on the couch and Kiba and Neji sitting on the loveseat. I think it might of just been me, but they were sitting awfully close together…
Oh. My. Fucking. God.
Suddenly, thousands of memories of being around Kiba and Neji rushed through my head so fast I could barely think straight. What if….what if?! I wanted to vomit, throw up everywhere, but I couldn't move. I don't even think I was breathing. This entire time…!
"Sasuke?" Naruto tapped my shoulder, but I could only stare at Kiba and Neji. "Hm…I guess I'll have to say it." I heard him mumbled, then he took a large breath, straightened up and gave the boys across from us a leveled look. "Sasuke's gay and we're together now." He said blandly. Before, I could picture Neji and Kiba's reactions being them standing up in anger and confusion, being completely thrown off guard and stomping out the house. But instead, they stared at Naruto and me for a second, looked at each other, then busted out laughing. Yes, Neji. Laughing. Full on laughter. He was clutching his stomach and shaking his head, his hair falling around his face. Kiba stamped his foot, gripping the couch for support as he laughed. I started to feel heat rise in my cheeks. They thought we were joking. Damn.
"That's so ironic!" Kiba sputtered out through his fits of hysterics.
"I know, I know." Neji tried to breathe, holding his stomach so tight, his shirt was taunt. His laughter subsided a lot faster than Kiba's, but the act had left him breathless. He leaned against the back of the couch, taking long breaths.
"I'm confused." Naruto whined, narrowing his eyes at Neji and Kiba. Finally, Kiba stopped laughing slowly, wiping wetness from his eyes and looking at Naruto.
"You might not believe this, but…." He looked at Neji, who nodded, still smirking, then looked back at us. "Me and Neji are gay too." I could tell from Naruto's face that he thought they were joking, but from their serious looks all of sudden, I saw that thought ebb from his eyes. Naruto jumped up from the couch, pointing at Neji and Kiba, opening and closing his mouth, but he apparently couldn't get any words out. I, being the smarty I am, had figured it out five seconds earlier than him. Though I couldn't believe I hadn't noticed it before. Neji and Kiba were always together, Neji only ever listened to Kiba, just anything. It was so obvious.
"You!" Naruto screamed, literally jumping on Neji and grabbing the front of his shirt. Me and Kiba just watched him. "You always made fun of me, because I was gay, but you-! You're-! YOU'RE GAY!" He shook him roughly and Neji grabbed his hands, stopping himself from being shaken.
"I just didn't want anyone to find out, because you went through a lot and I didn't want to put Kiba through something like that." Neji said and even I had to admit that was really cute. "If I was even a little nice to you, then everyone would start making fun of me and knowing Kiba, he'd try to stand up for me…and that's how rumors start." He explained. Naruto slowly let go of his shirt and got off of him, standing up straight.
"I always told him to tone it down a bit." Kiba pointed out and Neji shrugged.
"I never really liked you anyways, so making fun of you was easy." He said and Naruto crossed his arms, pouting.
"How long has this been going on?" I piped up for the first time since we all sat down. Kiba looked up at the ceiling, tapping his chin in thought.
"Uhh…right after tenth grade ended soo…"
"A little longer than seven months." Neji answered and Naruto's jaw dropped. Seven mother fucking months?! Damn! They have been doing a great job of no one finding out about them.
"Holy shit." Naruto whispered. Holy shit was correct.
"So what are you guys going to do about it?" Kiba asked, situating himself so he sat Indian style on the couch. Naruto seemed confused, but I knew what he meant. Were we gonna keep it a secret or were we gonna tell everyone? I wasn't going to go around telling people, but I wasn't going to keep it a secret either. Besides, once I broke up with Ino and she figured out the reason, she was going to do her own talking. Just like she did when she found out about Naruto. I looked at the blonde, thinking back to the day everyone had found out about him and what had happened. My stomach twisted. If there was one thing in life I was glad I never did, it was that. I wonder if Kiba didn't let Neji go, because neither of them were there.
"Nothing really," I answered, shrugging. "If people find out, oh well." Naruto nodded vigorously next to me.
"Yeah, what he said." He said and Neji smirked, shaking his head.
"Neji says no one can find out about us, because he doesn't think I'm 'strong' enough to handle being bullied." Kiba gave Neji a look that said they had argued and spoken about this a million times, but he still didn't agree with it. Neji looked at his…boyfriend?…shaking his head.
"Do you honestly think you could handle being in Naruto's position, I'm sure he can tell you about all the horrible things that have happened." He said, gesturing towards Naruto, who's face took on a solemn look.
"Yeah, it sucks." He said softly. I stared at him, wondering what was going through his head. And how much of it was about me. My stomach twisted again, thinking back to all the horrible things I had said or done to him. I promised myself I wouldn't bully him once his parents left, but I had fallen so deep into the routine, that that was the only way I knew how to act around him. After the basement incident, something had finally hit me. The fact that I didn't need to be an asshole to get close to him, if I just acted nice, genuinely nice, then it would all work out. But then of course I got drunk and spilled the beans. Don't drink, kids.
"See." Neji gave Naruto a lingering look, as though maybe he was regretting bullying Naruto too, before he looked back at Kiba who crossed his arms.
"See nothing. I can handle myself." He grumbled stubbornly. I almost laughed. He sounded a lot like Naruto.
"I'm not going to argue about this." Neji said and Kiba glared at him.
"Who said I was arguing?" He asked sharply and this time, I chuckled quietly. Oh yeah, he definitely sounded like Naruto. Kiba and Neji stared each other down, quite different from me and Naruto's short stare down before they came. I cleared my throat to get rid of the awkward tension and slowly, they looked over at us.
"You guys hungry?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes." Naruto nodded, his eyes wide. He was always hungry.
"Yeah, I guess." Neji shrugged and Kiba nodded as well, looking as crazy as Naruto. I stood up from the couch, stretching my hands above my head and hearing a few cracks from my back in return. Aah.
"I'll go whip something up then." I said and Naruto shot up from the couch as well.
"I'll go with you." He told me, skipping towards the kitchen. Me, Neji and Kiba all exchanged weird looks, but I followed Naruto into the kitchen. "You can't leave me in there with those crazy people." He said once we were out of earshot of the couple in the Living Room. I raised an eyebrow.
"Crazy people?" I asked.
"Or maybe we're the crazy ones since we didn't notice that they've been dating for seven months!" He tried to keep his voice low. "That doesn't even make sense." I walked over to the pantry, looking around, but keeping my attention on him.
"What doesn't make sense, the fact that they're gay or that they're a couple?" I questioned him.
"Both." He hissed. I snickered slightly, he was being so overdramatic. "That's almost as bad as you saying you're gay and like me after bullying me for so long. It just doesn't make sense." Finding nothing that suited me in the pantry, I decided to just grab a frozen pizza out the freezer.
"Hey, Kiba never bullied you, so you can't say anything about him. And you do know Neji never really liked you. Had something to do with Track…" I said, setting the box on the island and ripping it open.
"I never liked him either." Naruto grumbled.
"So, it isn't as crazy as you're making it out to be." I said.
"It's fucking insane. Neji Hyuga and Kiba Inuzuka being gay together defies all rules of the world. It doesn't fit normally in a sentence. It doesn't make fucking sense. Like am I the only one that's going crazy over this?" He asked incredulously.
"Yes. Yes, you are." I pre heated the oven, then grabbed his shoulders. "If Neji and Kiba are gay, then oh well. You're border line not accepting them and how would you feel if they hadn't accepted us?" I asked.
"I wouldn't of cared!" Naruto smacked my arms away. "You're the only one that would care because you crave Neji's approval on everything." My eye twitched and I glared at Naruto. He seemed to notice what he said, because his face went from slightly angry to apologetic.
"I-" My mouth couldn't form words, so I turned my back on him. I wasn't going to argue with him about this today or any other day. Yes, okay, maybe I did value Neji's opinion more than I should, but I'm sure he was the same with Sakura! In fact, I was positive that if Sakura wouldn't of accepted us, then he would have had second thoughts about it. Stupid, hypocritical- I bit down on my mind's tongue, trying to calm myself. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. "Alright, fine. Say what you want, but I don't care about them being gay and you shouldn't either." I finally managed to say and Naruto huffed loudly.
"Okay." He sounded like a child who hadn't gotten his way. He turned around and headed back into the Living Room. Then came back five seconds later, looking white.
"What?" I asked, feeling slightly concern.
"They have to go." He said and I raised both my eyebrows.
"Why?"
"They're making out on my couch, Sasuke. My. Couch." I stared at Naruto for a long time, before breaking out into laughter, holding my stomach. He bounced around me, trying to get me to get them out of his house, but I couldn't stop laughing. No matter what Naruto did or said to me, whether it made me sad or angry, I could never be on a bad side with him. With his mood swinging abilities, I highly doubt anyone could stay permanently mad at him. And again, I was confronted with my fears of everyone finding out, but then I heard Naruto's frantic voce about Neji and Kiba and I just knew. As long as he was with me, I could face the world.
Was that surprising or what?! I literally came up with that on the spot. I was just like…what if Neji and Kiba are gay? There's barley any hinting in earlier chapters, but the whole thing with Kiba being the only one Neji listened to gave me the idea, so I went with it! I hope you liked it! .
Review and tell me what you think!
