AN: Okay. To answer ArturoJ50. Speculations were that Naruto and Sasuke are either 12 or 13 in the first series. I thought that it would be more appropriate that they graduate at 13 and then in the Mistletoe chapter, they were 12. As for Tenten's situation, I'm gonna have to apologize for that since I forget such small details. So, so, sorry. Maybe I'm gonna edit Chapter 6 sooner or later. But right now, I'm acknowledging my mistake.
As for the too-young-to-think-rationally, isn't Naruto supposed to be perverted in the canon? I mean, I rewatched episode 3 so I could clarify myself because this chapter occurs in that episode. I noticed that Naruto's calendar is a bit . . . you know. (I know. I rememeber that detail, yet I don't know that Tenten & Co. are not in the same class as Naruto? Jeez, I'm such a loser.) And Naruto does attempt to peep in women's baths, so . . .
And I mean Sasuke has been keeping his crush on Naruto for years in this one. He probably wouldn't pass up the chance to violate Naruto.
As for Naruto's mood swings . . . eh . . . sorry.
Thank you so much for the criticism! I'll try not to make mistakes in the future.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter! Please R&R! I'm officially gonna change the rating after I post this chapter! Whoopee!
Sasuke clutched his aching head as he heard the two rivals bickering with each other about "who was first to get to the door." What a useless thing to argue about. He curled his lip as he felt a migraine coming.
"Please, Sasuke." Naruto patted Sasuke's back, where the Uchiha emblem was embroidered. "Just don't mind them if you're getting a headache."
"How can I ignore them if they're all I hear?" Naruto just kept on comforting Sasuke.
Sakura devised a plan to at least have Sasuke know the she had an interest in him. She knew she can't get into Sasuke's personal space without getting to know his brother. She left Ino and calmly walked to Naruto. She thought that if she took an interest in his adopted brother, then maybe Sasuke would notice him! Genius! She could even confuse Ino in thinking she had a crush on Naruto!
Meanwhile, Naruto glared at Sakura with a tired look.
What is she up to now?
"Good morning, Naruto-kun!"
Not really what Naruto had expected.
"Uh . . . good morning, Sakura-chan."
Sakura giggled with delight and put her hands behind her waist.
"I was just wondering if you're free for ramen later!"
That caught Sasuke's attention. He wondered where he put his last paper bomb . . . Was it under their bed? No. Oh, he hid it beneath his forehead protector! He could just stick it on Sakura's back and watch her go kaplow! Oh right, murder was a crime.
He kept a close eye on Sakura to be more aware of her actions. Sakura took this differently than what it was meant.
Shannaro, I got Sasuke-kun to look at me! Eat that, boar!
"Uh . . ." Naruto glanced at Sasuke. When Sasuke was angry, he could feel his anger heat up like a thousand ovens. Sasuke was the selfish and protective type and nothing else. "I can't today. Maybe next time?"
"Oh . . ." Sakura pretended to look disappointed. "Okay. Do you mind if I sit beside you?"
Sasuke could feel his chakra surging. He waited for Naruto's response.
"Sure, why not?"
As soon as Sakura flattened the bottom of her dress to sit, Sasuke swiftly, like a house fly, switched places with Naruto. Sakura almost fainted.
He's so jealous that I'm noticing his stupid brother instead of him!
"Look . . ."
And he's gonna talk to me! Oh my goodness! Sakura felt the metallic blue eyes of Ino behind her.
"No-one—"
Ah! His voice is so sexy!
"—should take Naruto out for ramen. No-one should sit beside Naruto. No-one should talk with Naruto. Hell, no-one should even think of Naruto. You can't do all of these. Without. My. Permission. He's Sasuke Uchiha's dobe and don't even think about doing anything involving my belongings. Got that, Haruno?"
That plan backfired. Sakura was overwhelmed by Sasuke's chastisement. She knew Sasuke was protective over Naruto, but not that protective. Ino almost jumped out of her seat. She didn't even have the need to poison enemy waters by herself! Sakura poisoned her own waters by a simple move! Shikamaru almost laughed at how selfish Sasuke was about Naruto.
"Y-yes, Sasuke-kun. I understand."
Damn it! He's making it harder for me to get closer to him. I'll just have to try better next time.
As they waited for their sensei, Sasuke pulled out some Pocky and chewed on the part without chocolate. He always liked the plain part better.
Naruto called, "Aniki . . ."
As soon as Sasuke faced Naruto, the blonde sipped on the chocolate part and nibbled in tiny bits. Sasuke watched intently that he forgot that he was eating. Sakura, Ino, and all the other kunoichi genin were dumbfounded by the unfolding scene.
Before Sakura could even act, Naruto already finished the last visible piece of Pocky. And he was kissing Sasuke. In front of all these jealous girls.
Shannaro! I was supposed to steal Sasuke's first kiss! But then again, they've been living together, so I think it's cool between them to kiss. BUT THAT MEANS THEY'VE POSSIBLY KISSED LIPS-TO-LIPS BEFORE SEVERAL TIMES!
Sasuke realized what Naruto was doing and rapidly pulled away. He acted like he was disgusted by the kiss—which he wished had lasted longer. He coughed and wiped his mouth on his collar. He stared at Naruto to follow his lead . . . but he didn't quite catch up.
"You dobe, why'd you kiss me? Ugh, your mouth stinks. When was the last time you brushed your teeth?"
"Sasuke?" Naruto was misled and hurt by Sasuke's harsh words. Tears were leaking from the sides of his eyes and he was turning into a hot mess. He wiped his eyes and nose with his orange jacket and buried his head in his arm and wept silently.
Exceptional acting, Naruto! It's almost real!
Most of the class started snickering at Naruto. Murmurs started spreading across the room. Sasuke balled his fists and smashed it on the table. He glared at all the people who were making fun of Naruto.
"If I hear another laugh from all of you, I swear I'll beat you up! Don't make fun of Naruto, you one-track minded bastards!"
He nuzzled Naruto's red ear and gave him the most welcoming hug he can cough up. However, Naruto still kept crying. He figured that Naruto was just acting and gave the crowd a death glare. All of them stopped talking and minded their own business.
Sakura was amazed at Sasuke's dedication to Naruto. He was overprotective to the point of being selfish, but he made it look like it was he and Naruto against the whole world. So she thought that if she could break down even just a bit of his shield on Naruto, maybe she could show Sasuke that she cared about Naruto and he'd get attracted to her.
Except that he was already attracted to Naruto—which she didn't know.
Once Iruka walked in to announce the room, his eyes went straight to Naruto, who was sniffing his nose. He was stunned. No-one had ever made Naruto cry.
"Alright, who made Naruto cry?"
All fingers pointed to Sasuke. He didn't look like he cared about anything else. He admitted that he was the one who made Naruto cry. Iruka sighed and scratched his head.
So this is one of those so-called Lovers' Quarrel?
"Sasuke, apologize to Naruto."
Sasuke obliged and shook Naruto.
"Oi, dobe." Naruto's steely blue eye gave Sasuke chills. They were both glamorous and cold at the same time. "Sorry for making you cry."
Naruto groaned and ignored Sasuke. He was keeping his act for too long. Sasuke sat back down, watching Naruto.
Have I . . . actually hurt him?
"H-Hey, Naruto!" Sasuke kept on shaking Naruto back and forth. "You know I didn't actually mean that, right? You're not disgusting! Please forgive me!"
"You're mean. Screw off, Sasuke."
That shut Sasuke's trap. His eyebrow twitched as he sat back down. Naruto scooted a few inches away. Iruka sighed. He never understood relationships. He just proceeded to announce the teams. Shikamaru shook his head in disappointment. He didn't understand how love was that much back then, but he knew that Sasuke was in deep shit for insulting Naruto.
Iruka announced, "For Team 7, we have Naruto Uzumaki-Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, and Sasuke Uchiha."
Naruto would've celebrated like he was finally elected as Hokage, but Sasuke's insult about his hygiene really pissed him off. Sakura didn't want her joy to be obvious, so she just stuck her tongue out to her rival. Ino rolled her eyes. Sasuke didn't care. He just kept on keeping watch on Naruto.
Boy, what a mess he made.
Once the orientation was done and they were on a lunch break, Naruto sped off and exited the room. Sasuke followed suit, pushing everyone out of the way. Naruto was several feet away from Sasuke, but he tripped and hit the ground.
"Naruto!"
Sasuke caught up to the fallen Naruto, but the angry brother didn't accept Sasuke's hand to get up. Naruto glared at him with eyes with the stare that could drill a hole. Once Sasuke grabbed his wrist, he smiled the kindest smile he could do.
"I'm very sorry, Naruto. You know I didn't mean that. That was just to tell people that your kiss wasn't . . . you know: Not for the dating stuff." Naruto still didn't buy it.
"Sasuke, I'm just a clone. Let me go." The clone struggled in Sasuke's clutches, but the Sharingan-wielder held on.
"I don't care. Shadow clones can transfer their memories to the original, right?" The clone nodded. "I just need to tell you something."
Sasuke exhaled and used the dignity he had left. He had to do this. "Tonight, maybe . . . I'd cut the torture out first and let you do it. How about that?"
That got Naruto's spirits up. He gave the usual evil-Sasuke-smile, whenever Sasuke was coming up with new methods to show his passion to Naruto, or whenever Naruto was hanging out with someone else without Sasuke. He poked Sasuke's forehead and disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
"Hey, Sasuke-kun," Sakura called behind Sasuke. He bit his lip in annoyance, but still turned around to face her. She was holding two boxes of food. Sasuke could smell the rice balls from there. Her cheeks had a shade of pink.
"Do you mind if we eat lunch together? I prepared a box for you . . ."
Sasuke shrugged. He personally didn't care who he had lunch with. "Why not?"
Sakura almost burst like a cheerleader.
Sasuke-kun is going to eat the lunch I prepared for him! Am I in a dream?
They exited the Academy and sat on a nearby bench. Sakura handed Sasuke the box. He opened it to see four midget rice balls, tempura, tonkatsu, and oyster sauce. The smell made his mouth water.
As he ate the rice ball, he thought about Naruto.
"I wonder what Naruto is eating right now . . ." he mumbled.
"Oh! I bumped on him in the hallway. Good for him, we were in front of the cafeteria. I thought that I should get him some food, wherever he was going, so I bought him two regular-sized rice balls. Then he just ran off."
Sasuke faced Sakura first with a shocked look, then with a smile. That was one of the rare moments Sasuke witnessed that someone was being nice to Naruto. Sakura could've melted at the moment.
"Really?"
"Yep!"
"I can't believe I'm saying this—but thank you."
Then Sasuke leaned in closer to Sakura and held her hair. And then as they leaned in closer and closer to each other's lips, Sakura closed her eyes and prepared for the kiss.
"I love you, Sasuke."
"You too."
And they made out and decided that they should have a life together, waited for a couple of years, got married, punched out a girl named Sarada, then lived old enough to see her grow and become Hokage, then died together as their old hearts stopped beating.
Of course that was all in Sakura's imagination.
She snapped back to reality when she heard Sasuke's constant foot-tapping. She remembered the reason she invited Sasuke for lunch.
"Sasuke, speaking of Naruto: I know this is a bit personal, but what do you think about him?"
"Why the sudden interest on my dobe?"
"Nothing. I mean since we're on the same team, might as well get to know him. And who knows him better than everybody other than you?"
Sasuke decided to trust Sakura. She did help his little brother with lunch.
"What I think about Naruto . . . he's a big pain in the ass. Annoying. Loud. Sometimes when we're home, he just busts out singing in the shower like there's some karaoke or something. He purposely gets himself in trouble for attention—that's why I'm always there to stop him. In written tests, I always help him."
"Oh . . ." Sakura tapped her lunch box. "So that's why he gets straight A's in those."
"Yeah. But no matter how much I help him with his jutsus, he screws up badly. That's why he has bad grades in performance tests. But damn . . . he's so persevering that he stays up all night to get one positive outcome with a jutsu. His efforts are over-the-top."
"I see . . . but why is he . . . how do I put this without offending you . . ."
"Why he is such an annoying brat?" Sakura nodded her head. "He's naturally a carefree spirit. Happy-go-lucky."
"Yeah, but other than that. You two were raised by the same clan. He should be more disciplined by now, right?"
"As I said, he's a natural carefree spirit. I remember when we were living in the Uchiha household. He always followed orders and only spoke to me all the time. He was shy around everyone else. They taught him the do's and don'ts and he followed accordingly. When we had to leave for . . . obvious reasons, I thought that he would keep whatever the clan taught him. Apparently, he didn't."
"But other than that—" Sasuke smiled at the sky and reached in to what he felt for Naruto. "He's the sweetest, most precious thing in the world to me. He always makes me smile when I'm having a bad day, encourages me when the class has sparring sessions, and takes me out for ramen occasionally. He's so thoughtful and considerate." Sasuke laughed as he reminisced every time Naruto was there for him, which was all the time.
"He's always there to keep me company. When we were kids, he always picked on fights whenever bullies said that I was a privileged, lonely son of a bitch. And then we'd come home. He has a bruise, while I'm unscathed. He said that he always puts his comrades first, especially when his comrade is someone like me. I said that he had camaraderie. Then, being Naruto, he asked what camaraderie is. He's so stupid, yet he has a good heart."
Sakura gasped at Sasuke's words. She's never heard Sasuke say something so full of emotion before.
"So that's why you're so protective of him."
"Yeah. It's only fair. He protects me with all his life, so it's best to do the same."
Sakura had never seen this warm side of Sasuke. All she knew was that Sasuke was cool, contained, and quiet. But she never knew that he could turn into something as soft as a marshmallow when it came to Naruto. Then Naruto was her road to Sasuke.
"Speak of the devil," Sasuke mumbled.
Sakura looked at Naruto who was walking towards them. He was rubbing his arm, as if he felt guilty, and he was having an interest on the yellow ground. He stood in front of Sasuke. The raven faced Naruto. Sasuke put his hand on his waist, waiting for Naruto.
"Well? You know I don't like it—" Naruto didn't let Sasuke continue and wrapped his arms on Sasuke's neck. Sasuke constantly rubbed Naruto's back.
"Sorry for running away like that."
Sasuke chuckled. "Sorry for embarrassing you in front of everyone in the class, dobe. Are we alright now?"
"Yeah, but one more thing."
"What is it?"
Naruto whispered in a voice that could make an emotionless person fearful, "My only advice for you tonight: Hang in there."
Sasuke was impatiently walking back and forth, waiting for Naruto to unlock the door. Naruto kicked him out to prepare himself. He recommended that Sasuke prepared himself too.
"Naruto, how long are you're done?!" Sasuke shouted.
"Just need to—and . . . there! Put your forehead protector over your eyes!" Sasuke rolled his eyes and obliged. Naruto unlocked the door and allowed Sasuke in. He guided Sasuke where he wanted to be. "Are you ready?"
"Ready as I'll ever be."
"Good."
Then Sasuke felt his feet slip and a blast of air, as if he were in a rollercoaster. Blood rushed up to his head and he felt nauseated due to vertigo. He untied his headband and threw it at Naruto.
"Why the hell did you hang me upside-down? God, I feel like throwing up."
"Lower him!" Naruto commanded to his clones. He sat Indian-style and waited until Sasuke's lips were aligned with his. "Don't throw up yet, Sasuke. I don't want to kiss you when your mouth is disgusting. Just try not to move so you won't get dizzy."
"Fuck you!"
"Yeah, fuck me. Well, we're genin already, so . . ."
"Didn't you promise that we'd start to touch each other when we're genin?" Sasuke's mouth started to water. He'd been waiting for this day to come.
"Guess what?"
"What?" Sasuke started reaching for Naruto. He kept Sasuke in place.
"This is gonna be your birthday gift to me."
Sasuke took a few seconds to process everything, which enraged Naruto and made him punch Sasuke in the forehead.
"It was my birthday five days ago!"
"Oh . . . right. Wait, what?!"
"YOU FORGOT?! I WAS EXPECTING THAT YOU WERE ACTING THAT YOU FORGOT THAT IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY AND WAS SECRETLY PLANNING SOMETHING SPECIAL, BUT YOU ACTUALLY FORGOT?!" Naruto held himself back from punching Sasuke one more time. "You, sir, are in big trouble."
Sasuke sighed. How stupid of him. He lost track of time because he was looking forward to graduate. He had been constantly training that he forgot. "And what's my punishment?"
"For that mistake of yours . . ." Naruto removed his jacket and pants until boxers were left. Sasuke couldn't contain himself any longer. He seriously was hungry for Naruto that he felt his erection fighting through his shorts. The clone that managed the rope to tie Sasuke wrapped it on the bedpost approached them and removed his clothes too.
"It's gonna be a threesome."
AN: Yes, there will be full lemon next chapter. As for the question of guest on who's dominant and who's submissive: I plan on having them switching roles in their relationship. But about that innocent part about Naruto. That's just how he is when it's not lemon. I plan on having Naruto being the mushy type while Sasuke can be the jealous type. I mean, in hetero relationships, boys can be soft and girls can be the hard ones, vice-versa. And that's just how I like it. It's NaruSasu when it's lemon and SasuNaru when it's not.
