Naruto could never explain it. He never knew why he felt those awkward feelings towards the last Uchiha, he just knew that they felt right, for some reason. Even if they didn't feel all together good.

There he was, the last of his clan, a lonely orphan just like Naruto, with no one to call a friend or family. However, unlike Naruto, the uppity asshole had the option to call people his friends and family.

Sasuke Uchiha had tens upon hundreds upon thousands - well, probably thousands. Really, Naruto never liked to count higher than was absolutely necessary and counting into the thousands was rarely ever necessary, especially when it concerned the teme - of all kinds of people from all areas of the world - some he couldn't even pronounce, let alone spell! - all vying for his affection, some even sincerely so.

But did Sasuke ever give them the time of day?

Hell no!

Stupid bastard.

It annoyed Naruto to constantly see Sasuke ignore the many people who wanted to know him, wanted to play with him, wanted to train with him, wanted to sit next to him, wanted to just say "hello" to him, wanted him to look somewhere in the vicinity of where they were standing or possible were standing mere moments ago, because OHMYGOSH! That would be the best thing ever!

Really, the entire way people seemed to worship the teme made him sick.

And sad, if Naruto was to ever give these feelings more thought - not as much as the blonde put into his pranks or the new flavour of ramen, but some.

Naruto was an orphan, a lonely one at that, with no one to speak of as friend nor family. He never had anyone who wanted to know him, wanted to sit next to him, wanted to play or train or even just look in his direction! Sure, some people looked in his direction, but soon after also looked like they had just drank an entire carton of spoiled milk.

The teme had hundreds, possibly thousands, of people who wanted to be his friend, who wanted to spend time with him, who wanted to talk to him. Naruto could name the amount of people who didn't sneer at him on one hand, let alone those who might have no problem with living in the same village as him, while Sasuke probably couldn't even count as high for the same.

And it made him sick.

Sick to think about. Sick to see. Sick to--

"Sasuke-kun! Here!",a girl from one of the lower classes called out in a rather obnoxious tone. She was standing in front of Sasuke's seat, thrusting something in front of him that looked suspiciously like a boxed lunch.

Another girl soon appeared at Sasuke's side holding a boxed lunch of her own. "Here, Sasuke! Take mine!",she too squealed, her voice, if possible, even more loud and annoying.

Sasuke looked somewhat alarmed at the growing rate of girls surrounding him with seemingly no way out.

"Sasuke-kun!"

"Sasuke!"

"Here Sasuke!"

"I love you, Sasuke!"

"Sasuke-kun, I made your favourite!"

"Sasukeeee!"

As the Uchiha heir continued to be swarmed by squealing fangirls from all classes - was that one even a student here? Didn't the blonde graduate already? -, Naruto couldn't help but grin and feel that maybe, just maybe, he wasn't completely jealous of the teme after all.

Academy!Naruto is a riot. I could never understand how...vicious, some fans get. Was at my old job the other day for a goodbye party and several girls came in and acted, well, rabid in a realllly scary sense. I thought my old AM was going to beat them out of the store with a stick or something.

Anyways, thanks for reading and feel free to review!
