Chapter 10 - Let's Go
After I finish changing baa-chan's waiting for me. "I'm sorry baa-chan..." I say, she shakes her head.
"don't be, I understand Naruto, your not in trouble."
"But I keep causing you so much trouble." I say just above a whisper. She walks over to me.
"Naruto, your never too much trouble, I'd do anything for you..." she said. I choke.
"don't!... Don't... Say that..." I say, she looks frozen. I keep doing this, hurting people, causing trouble... Mum, dad and uncle Kyu all died because 'they'd do anything for me' look where it got them... I felt tears in my eyes. I walk out before baa-chan could see or they could fall, I wouldn't let them. Kyuubi told me never to cry. I won't. I force them back and went to history, when I got there I sat next to Sasuke without a word, he could probably tell I was upset and didn't say anything. I'm glad. Through-out the lesson either one of us said anything, but it felt nice and comforting just knowing he was there.
After class we walked out together. "hey Naruto..." he said, I look at him. "you wanna go somewhere after school?" He asks, I'm a little shocked to be honest. Why isn't he asking about the changing rooms thing? Why isn't he asking about the silent class thing? Maybe he just... Gets it. "y-you don't have too, I was just think it'd be-"
"I can't wait" I say, he looks at me. I smile and he smiles back. I find myself forgetting about everything that happen today. Me and Sasuke talk about what were gonna do after school, we plan on going to the arcade, restraints, parks and just about anything.
After school finishes I find baa-chan. She's in her office her head in her hands. I knock gently. "WHAT!?" she yelled, she looked up and saw me. "oh... Naruto..." she said. I walked over and stood in front of her desk.
"I'm sorry baa-chan... I didn't mean to... Um, it's just... Sorry" I say.
"no, I shouldn't have said anything." she's says standing up.
"no, it's not that, it's just, you've done so much for me... It feels like I just running everything you've done here" I say, keeping my head down and the grip on my books tight.
"Naruto..." she says quickly, I look up, she has tears in her eyes. "... I wouldn't have done any of this without you, when I found out about you, I stopped gambling, and I well, I reduced my drinking, and got my life together, when I found out you were still alive was the happiest day of my life Naruto..." I hug her, she wraps her arms around me too.
"thanks you baa-chan... I er, well is it okay if I go out with a friend tonight?" I ask quietly pulling away from the hug. She nods.
"who... Wait, is it Uchiha?" a devilish smirk finds it way on her face. And I feel my face heat up.
"S-Shut up! And don't think I don't know about Jiraiya's 'books' baa-chan!" I say. Her face turns pink.
"whatever brat, just go to your little 'friend'" she smirks, I leave quickly. I walk out to the parking lot and find Sasuke there in a black Mercedes. My jaw droops.
"get in then" he says. I look at him he's smirking, what is it with people smirking today? I climb in and look at the leather interior. It's amazing.
"wow Sasuke. Your cars... Amazing." I say quietly looking at every inch of the car.
"Thanks, do you want to eat first?" he asks, I nod. School food isn't totally appealing. So we head off in the direction of a popular, cozy looking restraint.
When we get inside there some stuck-up looking man, he sees Sasuke and immediately walks over. "hello, we've been waiting Mr. Uchiha" he says I walk slowly behind. "Can I help you..?" he asks me, he's starring at me like something on the bottom of his shoe.
"He's with me." Sasuke says. I catch up with Sasuke and use his body as a shield from the creepy man, he's still starring at me and my hand reaches out and grab Sasuke's jacket arm. He sees and puts an arms on my back. "You can leave now" he says to the man.
We sit down and one of my hands is still clutching tightly on his jacket. "Naruto, are you alright?" he asks. His voice snaps me out of my thoughts and I let go of his jacket. I nod.
"sorry..." I say. I look around and see we in a booth, I can't really see many other people, but I can't faintly hear them.
"Don't be, that guys a jerk, and a creep." he says I smile and laugh slightly. When our food arrive I got stuck in, it was spaghetti. I see Sasuke starring at me and look at him.
"wha?" I say, and swallow the spaghetti in my mouth. He smiled.
"you have sauce on your face" he said. I wipe my face quickly, and he laughs "come here" I lean over, and his face gets closer and closer he wipes what I assume is the sauce off and cups my cheek, he looking at my face, then he meets my eyes.
I swallow again. My heart is getting faster and faster all the while he's looking at me, his beautiful eyes starring at me, his face getting ever so slowly closer. My skin begins to burn and I know my face must be bright red. But I don't want him to stop, I'm paralysed all the while, skin burning to be touched, hot breathe over my lips and a gentle hand on my cheek.
He licks his lip and I follow, my arms are tingling to tangle themselves around him. His eyes look to my lips and back to my eyes, both our eyes are half lidded. He looks in my eyes for any sigh of hesitation. Before he closes the distance between us.
