After class, I quickly left to the music room again, not particularly wanting to talk to anyone. Sitting down on the stool in front of it, I calmed myself down and set my fingers dance across the keys. I wasn't playing a specific melody, just short bursts of random notes that sounded right. Music that flowed with my own emotions. It was around five minutes later that the door opened. Thinking it was Sasuke, I didn't do anything, just continued playing the short bursts of music. However, when they didn't say anything, just sat down in a chair nearby, I turned and went to ask what they wanted.
I stopped when I saw Gaara calmly sitting there, watching me. I give him a small smile this time, which he gave a small blink of his eyes in return. I turned back around to the piano and altered what I was playing, smoothly moving into Beethoven's Fur Elise. This song was also a decent representation of how my emotions were flowing, but I hoped that Gaara didn't notice.
When I was nearing the end of the song, he stood up and headed to the door. I stopped playing, noticing he had stopped halfway to the door and turned back towards me.
"Lunch is almost over." was all he said before continuing out the door. I let my face break out in a wide grin, and seeing Sasuke walk in with a confused look, I jumped up and clasped his shoulders and slightly shook him.
"Oh my god he talked to me! Sasuke-teme, he talked to me!" I began to laugh, not hearing Sasuke's fond sigh before he lead me out of the room and to our next class.
Gaara POV
I wasn't sure why Naruto was late, just that he hasn't been late before. He rarely misses school, unless he's too sick to come in. When I heard him dash into the room, out of breath, I wanted to breath out my own sigh of relief. But then I realized something was wrong. He wouldn't even tell his own best friends. I want to help. But how could I possibly help him when he won't confide in his actual friends? I listened into their conversation, trying to see if anything will jump out at me. Nothing really does, so I decide I should just visit him in the music room again.
Even his music is...distracted. Not upbeat and happy. Well, neither was the song he played the last time I was in here, but he was smiling then. He isn't smiling now. What's wrong Naruto? I want to know so I can help.
I sit down on a nearby chair and it takes another minute before he actually turns around. He seemed to be about to say something, before shutting his mouth at seeing me. He might have thought I was one of his friends. But why not yell at me as well, for disturbing him? The small smile he gave me instead was a little startling. Maybe he just doesn't want to take out his irritation or anger on someone not directly involved? Possible. I just blink at him, not really sure what to say back. What if I say something wrong and he ends up hating me for the rest of our lives? Okay, I wouldn't be that drastic, but still. I don't want to make him mad at me next.
I notice the time and stand up to leave. Pausing on the way to the door I realize Uchiha might not even come to tell Naruto that class is almost over. Letting out a soft sigh, I turn, only to be met with blue eyes gazing at me.
"Lunch is almost over." I turn again and head out the door. I see Uchiha headed to the music room, and I have to suppress a smile. Even though Naruto is lying to him about what's wrong and he's mad about that, Uchiha still comes to tell Naruto that class is ending. I glance at him and give a small nod, receiving a confused look back.
