Naruto, grunted sourly as his cold, frost-nipped fingers worked at lacing up black hockey and blue skates. Despite their cheep craftsmanship and overbearingly large size, the blond was more then elated when he got a hold of them. The boy, never having been on ice before, didn't have a pair of his own, so one can imagine his expression when Neji gave them too him.
His mood was diminished though, after the much to large ice-skate hung on his foot. Naruto pulled tightly, trying in desperation to actually tie the bladed shoes.
The string won't go tighter! He thought to himself, getting more aggravated by the second.
His attempts where interrupted though, as a low voice broke his suffering.
"Um," Naruto's blue eyes darted up to meet none-other then his frie-Sasuke.
"Do you need help?" He asked, both dark grey eye's casted to the ground. His usually baggy sweatshirt and hoodie apparel now flourishing with hockey gear.
Naruto growled inwardly as he noted the nicely fitting black and green skates on his feet, both tied up real pretty.
"Why would I need your help?" He muttered, fixing himself on the yellow ice rink bench he was sitting on. His scared cheeks lightly pink with coldness.
"Well, your skate is on the wrong foot for starters…" The Uchiha said, a bit of light returning to his voice and that familiar smirk dancing cross his pale lips.
The attitude immediately receded as two icy blue orbs glared at him.
"Sorry" he whispered quietly.
Naruto choked at the utterance of those quick words. His eye's shot up, just catching the gaze of his bunkmate before the raven looked away awkwardly.
"What is it that your sorry for?" The blond asked, hope rising in his voice.
Sasuke pursed his lips together, his dim eyes scanning the gray rubber ground. His hands awkwardly pulled at his sides as he tilted his head slightly to the left, letting his ash-cloaked hair conceal a piece of ivory skin.
"Nothing." He whispered, quietly walking off, leaving the defeated blond alone on the yellow plastic bench.
-小春日和-
"Alright kids," A misery filled voice coughed from the center of the ice rink. The air was sleek against the children's face; each caked with padding of all different kinds.
"So, welcome to hockey, or whatever you wanna call a bunch of you rolling around on the ice," The man grunted, pointing his tired gaze at two girls giggling from ground. They shot up instantly… well after they got help of getting of there ankles of course.
"So every week the blue group is gonna be meeting here-"
"Then why didn't we meet last week?" Some kid in the back interrupted.
"Because we had the a meeting last week, so-"
"But I thought you said every week."
"Every week is right! But there are obviously going to be exceptions."
"Well then you should have been more clear and said that in the beginning Hayate, sir."
"You know what kid? I might just come after you, so now you better shut the hell up you faggot, and speak only when spoken to."
Hayate, the hockey instructor having realized his sudden outburst quickly coughed into his arm before starting again.
"Now, will there be any questions?" The man asked, pulling his green skier hat down to his eyebrows.
A small hand was raised from the ground, and the advisor (plus a certain raven) directed their attention to him.
"Yeah? What the hell do you have a question about? I think I was pretty clear…" The sickly man asked, coughing yet again.
The blond blob, sitting awkwardly on the ice, with every piece of equipment on him about three sizes too large, looked at the smooth ice below him.
"Do I have to take this activity?" He finally breathed, shifting his oversized gloved hands around his knees before pulling them close.
Hayate gave the boy a distasteful look, strongly implying how much of an idiot the blond was before answering.
"Hell yes you do! What, can you not skate? You're fucking pathetic. Sasuke!" This name caught all the campers' attention of course, and all eyes locked in with the dark haired boy as he rink fell silent.
"Your gonna teach this kid, alright?" The councilor directed pulling up his jeans revealing his own pair of ice-skates before swiveling up to the younger boy.
The crowed eagerly awaiting many of their idol's reaction to teaching the most hated camper.
Sasuke glanced over to Naruto, his hockey helmet slightly off center and blond spikes messily sprawled across his forehead. The blond still didn't dare to make eye contact as he stared innocently at his much too big skates, a splash of red tinting his peach colored face due to the bone-chilling cold.
"Sure…" He said slowly not taking his view away from the disheveled blond.
Hayate grunted in approval before yelling new instructions to the gossiping teenagers.
"Everyone take a puck, if you can, and shoot to warm up you and the goalie. Sasuke and uh…Naruto, do a lap or two around the rink."
-小春日和-
Naruto shuttered as the sounds of quick blades tore across the ice around him. Quickly crushing his eyelids down as a particularly tough looking guy, brush past him, a little less then gently.
The blond held his breath as he slowly heard the rough cutting diminish. A splinter of pain trickled thru his shoulder, the place when one of the campers thrashed their fist against, while skating by.
Slowly he opened his azure eyes, fixating on the numbing cold metal-cage that seemed to swallow his face. The blond almost felt on his own until a quiet gasp of air sound behind him, stirring his peace of mind.
As quickly as one with an oversized hockey helmet could, he faced the noise.
His eyes widened as he came in contact with an outreached hand. Looking up he realized it was Sasuke Uchiha. The same bastard who has been parading his head, leaving him with a bundle of insecurities.
"Here," He said quietly, signaling to his out stretched hand. Naruto wanted nothing more then to grasp that hand, hold onto it for dear life, but he had to rethink that. Because he was positive this hand would be like all other hands, it would let him go. He was sure.
"I'm fine." The blond muttered back callously. The boy fumbled around, finding his way to hid knees. Slowly he pushed of the ground, shakily rising off the ice. A method no skater would ever recommend. Naruto soon figured this out as he tottered backwards, falling bottom first towards the ground.
His breath faltered once a firm arm interrupted his crash. Naruto looked up into the twilight orbs of his bunkmate. Sasuke smiled slightly before propping the boy up on his skates.
What a sad face. Naruto thought as he whispered a quick 'thanks'.
Sasuke nodded in response, slowly walking to the boards in a march like manner.
He glanced over his shoulder to see if the blond had gotten what he was doing and it seemed the blue-eyed boy had very few problems marching.
He grabbed onto the sturdy hockey board, waiting patiently for Naruto to follow this action.
He gave him an approving look as the blond clashed a little too roughly onto the short wall.
"Good job, you can do that for now if you want, that's how I learned at first." Sasuke said, feeling slightly awkward with staring at Naruto, so he settled with his fingers, loosely grabbing the rink wall.
"You teach me a lot, huh?" Naruto barely whispered, as the due-o was half way around ice.
Sasuke brightened as he heard the voice that was becoming nearly foreign to him.
"Huh? Oh yeah I guess…"
"I mean your teaching me to swim every Tuesday, and now skate… geez I guess I owe you…" Naruto sighed, moving just a bit faster.
"Yeah, they seem to always pair us together- hey! Watch out!" The raven yelled grabbing the blond's wrist just as he tripped over his right blade.
"T-thanks… I…" Sasuke watched eagerly as the blond's cheeks redden, and voice stuttered.
"Alright enough of this gay marching shit," The conversation was interrupted by the loud scraping sound as the walking dead snowplowed in front of them. Sasuke swore he would scream.
"You can practice that in a gay pride parade but this is hockey. I don't expect much form Naruto over here, but Sasuke, come on man! You're the best one here at least practice a little! Bring blonde around the rink alright?" Hayate called, dashing away to help yet enough failure.
Naruto growled something dark under his breath before turning to look at the boy next to him. Anger flashed across Sasuke's eyes as his dark orbs followed the ill man.
"Sasuke! The hell!" The blond hollered, catching the raven's attention instantly.
"What?"
"Your actually good? That makes it even worse that you're having to teach me! Go skate you bastard!" Naruto scolded pouting up at the 'bastard'.
Sasuke smirked a very Uchiha like smirk before laughing to himself. One of the most wonderful things Naruto ever heard and couldn't help but smile as he witnessed the rare event.
"I'm honestly not that good, besides doing that," he raised his arm signaling to what appeared to be a bunch of campers sliding into the goal, their pucks missing completely.
"Will help me." He concluded, smiling yet again at the blond.
"Then show me how fast you can go."
Sasuke looked at the blond in surprise.
"What!" He laughed shocked at the boy's newly acquired enthusiasm.
"You heard me," Naruto chuckled back, wearing a slight grin of his own "Show me your stuff Sasuke Uchiha."
Sasuke beamed somewhat darkly, before reaching his hand out for the second time today.
"Whatever you say Naruto Uzumaki." But this time the blue-eyed boy had no problem clinging to the raven's hand. Because he had a feeling, when Sasuke reassured him he would not let go, he was telling the truth.
-小春日和-
The blond squinted his cerulean eyes as the raven took off, he felt the chilling air slap against his face as he flew like a bullet down the rink.
He couldn't help but yelp as the two got just a bit to close to the wall.
Just as Naruto shut his eyes tightly waiting for impact he was swept of the ground, twirled in a very figure skater like manner to the side.
"He, he, just kidding." Sasuke chortled as he did an easy crossover.
"Not funny Sasuke bastard!" Naruto feeling the need raise his voice due to the high speed, yelled.
"Hey," The raven inquired looking happily at the blond on his side, "You're actually doing not as bad as I thought!"
Naruto rolled his eyes at the comment "You do understand you're dragging me, right?" He answered back loudly, looking down at his sideways skates.
"Still, better then I thought." Sasuke grinned winking sarcastically.
"Sasuke Uchiha, bastard on land as well as ice! Now that, is something really rare on in a person! You should join Disney!" The blond grinned back his own sardonic tone causing his bunkmate to snicker.
A moment later, Sasuke's face twisted as misery struck his eyes. His lips dipped down in darkness and his jaw clenched.
Naruto watched in anxiety as the sudden metamorphosis occurred in right before his eyes.
"Hey Sasuke, are you alright I was just kidding… well sorta kidding."
"Yeah I'm fine." He answered back harshly. Naruto's eyes grew in revelation.
"Man, what the fuck is wrong with you? Are you like, bipolar or something?" The blond shouted, pushing the now much too close teenager away from him.
The out of the blue action mentally woke Sasuke as he skidded to a stop.
"Shit, I'm sorry, no, it's just-"
"It's just what Sasuke? That you temporarily forgot who I was and now you just remembered? Is that it? Because then I don't blame you!" The raven gaped at the sudden out burst, but couldn't help but feel his eye twitch at the misconception.
"It that really what you think this is about?" He snarled, grabbing the smaller boy by the large shoulder pads hanging down his arms, his blond hair draped over his eyes concealing any emotion from pouring thru.
"D-Don't touch me, I-I-" Sasuke face dropped as the blond began shaking in his grasp.
Before the raven could utter another word, his voice fell silent as a stifled whimper hit his ears.
"H-Hey you can't- fuck- don't cry on the rink. Uh, It's like two degrease in here so," Not being able to find the right words the panicking Uchiha began pulling Naruto towards the door.
The blond swat his hands away the second they began to move around his waist, "I'm not gonna cry! Just leave me alone!" He screamed looking up to glare the raven in the eyes.
At this moment Sasuke trained on the blond's momentarily displayed face, and nearly died. His cheeks where brightly inflamed and white teeth gritted together painfully, his crystal blue eyes, filled to the brim with devastation.
That's when Sasuke knew the world was over.
"Dammit! Can you gay-wads please, shit the fuck up?" Hayate belted behind them. It seemed their little world was broken as the many faces of the group turned to stare at the two on the far edge of the rink.
Immediate Naruto ducked his head, one of his worst fears coming to revelation as the teenagers began filing glares at him.
Sasuke watched grimly as the campers began whispering about the blond, rolling their eyes at him without second-thought.
"Hayate! I think I brought some extra skates! I'm going to go give them to Naruto because it's impossible to do anything on these! You just keep teaching, you fucking homo!" Sasuke answered in response, this time not letting the blond choose if he wanted to move or not.
The raven nearly lifted him to the edge of the rink, where he motioned for the blue-eyed boy to leave after their councilor said it was fine.
Naruto was about to fall into the yellow bench right in front of the rink, the place he was located before but Sasuke objected. This was made clear as he pulled Naruto up and pushed him into out the ice rink's door.
-小春日和-
The heat was intense as the sun clashed with their warm bulky outfits, but Sasuke made no work continuing to haul the blond forward.
Naruto, still locked on his feet, was surprised when the large green door of their bunkhouse appeared in his face.
"Come on-"
"Sasuke, where missing class-"
"Did you hear me?" The raven growled, grabbing the metal cage around the boy's face.
"Get in." He snapped pulling the blond head first thru the door. He pushed him on his own bed, the one closest to the door and sighed.
All Sasuke did was stare at the boy, analyzing his expressions. Naruto sniffed, tilting his head even more downwards feeling the piercing onyx eyes examine him.
"Hey!" The silence was broken as Sasuke snapped, gaining Naruto's attention.
"Why do you keep looking down? Aren't you suppos't to be one of those never give up types?" He asked his eye squinting quizzically.
"Well it looks like where not going to be playing anymore hockey today…"
"Answer the question. Do you give up Naruto Uzumaki"
"I don't give up bastard, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna try to fight the person that basically kidnapped me!" Naruto bit back, his voice a bit muffled from his, previously, runny nose.
"Well, I certainly wasn't kidnapping you in the rink, so why look down then? The others weren't kidnapping you either so why? Are you just a fake with all that?" Sasuke said quickly, surprisingly enough no anger reeked thru his voice, instead it sounded like he actually was trying to find answers.
"Well Sasuke, who knows maybe I had a feeling they just might, I mean I certainly do know a lot about that topic," Sadly you couldn't say the same for the smaller blond. His fist flared as he rose offensively against the raven.
"Don't you dare bring that up," Sasuke growled thru his teeth glaring at the boy kneeling atop the bed, grabbing his fist just before it collided with his neck.
"Your past has nothing to do with this-"
"I mean I was right after all, you did force me here." The irony overpowering each word Naruto's clenched teeth sputtered.
"Too bad I didn't have that great skill when I was little huh? Maybe you would have liked me better then!"
That was it, both pairs of desperate eyes lit with rage, as Sasuke pounced on the boy. Naruto's knuckles pounded right against his chin.
Sasuke grabbed the boy's golden locks with one hand, the other trashing to get his glove off. Naruto having already easily succeeded with getting both huge hand protectors of, swung harshly at the raven's chest and arm.
The dark-haired teenager grunted as the fierce blow sunk in.
Once both gloves fell to the ground below them, Sasuke punched deep on the blond's stomach, causing him to flinch upward at loss of breath.
Stopping momentary noting the pain he caused, Naruto found his chance and mercilessly elbowed Sasuke in the neck, the one place where padding did not exist.
Sasuke fell forward, the wind knocked out of him instantly as a sharp throbbing sensation filled his senses. He grunted a few curse words but was silenced as Naruto flew a rough knee to his ribs, lifting him off the blond's armored body.
Naruto gritted his teeth as, whom he presumed defeated, arose from the bed. In a flash he was on top of him again, banging his fist back and forth, pulling and grabbing anything he could get his hands on.
None of the blows particularly hurt due to the heavy padding and Naruto was successful at landing a few of his own but what made the blond scream in pain was the sharp blade of a skate sliding across his abdomen another unprotected area.
Naruto winced as the slash burned his bare skin. The naked patch was due to the fact that Sasuke had unconsciously pulled Naruto further down the bed, making Naruto's clothing bunch up.
Sasuke froze, realizing what he had done. He leapt of the blond, staring wide-eyed at his pained expression.
"Shit, Naruto, I-I'm so-"
The blond threw his head down, cradling himself tightly as the blistering throbbing ached his body.
Sasuke's jaw trembled as he watched the boy whimper and whine in nearly whispers.
His words where cut of as the boy hopped up from the bed, a smile painted on his face just few moments later.
"Oh I'm fine Sasuke, come on! Free period is staring soon!" He cheered, not able to hide his stagger to the door.
The raven stared as Naruto waved for him to hurry up. Sasuke was absolutely sick to his stomach.
"Naruto," Sasuke shook his head slowly as he watched the blond's face break down.
"You're a pretty bad liar."
-小春日和-
Naruto gritted his teeth together tightly, not yet willing to cave from his smile.
"What are you talking about?" He asked feeling his words slip into the deep end, drowning.
"That hurts a lot huh?" Sasuke asked a sad smile on his own misery filled expression.
Naruto felt his lips twitch, his eyes fill and legs creak.
"Your crazy Sasuke-bastard."
"No, I don't think so. I think that you're really hurting a lot. You are, aren't you?" The raven asked tilting his head questionably.
The blond felt his lungs bang against his chest.
"How would you know, crazy?" Naruto said lifelessly, the smile slowly breaking against his white teeth.
Sasuke looked at him, his eyes foggy and deserted.
"Because I'm hurting too."
Naruto Uzumaki broke.
Much like a small wind up toy, the blond teenager fell apart. Of course his fighter personality held back his tears, screams, and wails. But he did, crash to the floor. Curled into a ball. Even his hockey pads refused to protect him this time.
This had happened before, but Naruto had been alone when it does. Always alone, never has he been with anyone other then himself when he goes thru these traumatizing experience.
Not even when he was little and his 'dad' would cry himself to sleep next to him, holding him too tightly.
This time was different.
Sasuke Uchiha was there too. Sasuke Uchiha has his own problems one could say. He was afraid of people. Traumatized of emotion and mentally unstable when if came to thoughts of relationships.
The two could relate very well.
-小春日和-
"Can't you role over at least moron?" Sasuke whispered quietly, a boll of water next to his knees bent.
"I'm not a moron, bastard." Naruto sniffed, turning slightly. The boy was currently curled up on the raven's bed, his own being to messy to lie on. He winced as the hot towel in Sasuke hands pressed lightly against his wound.
"Shh, almost done." The raven soothed dabbing the cut delicately. Luckily the cut was only minor and just a small amount of blood seeped from the shallow slash. That didn't mean leave the raven feeling any less guilty. The sorrow was eating him alive.
"Sorry" Naruto said softly.
Remorse.
"What are you sorry for?" Sasuke asked, still treating the wound softly.
"For making you do this."
Repent.
"It's nothing. Not like you tried to do this to yourself." I did.
"But most people would have just left me. Thank you for not.
Regret.
Sasuke swallowed the dry lump in his throat as he cleaned the cut. Naruto was stripped clean of all his hockey garments, each object sprawled across the floor messily. His own varied from either by the blond's bed, or still clinging to his skin.
"Hey, I'm just gonna take these off, alright?" Sasuke stated, feeling rather hot. He pulled off his mask, which may have not been the brightest thing to do if he was trying to avoid heat.
Naruto's small skinny belly rested flat against the mattress he was laying one where is gray hoodie was pulled up to get a full view of the damage.
Sweat stuck his blond spiky hair to his peach colored face. Innocent as ever. Sasuke thought to himself, inwardly guffawing at how sinister the blond looked when he went insane with rage.
"Hn." The raven nodded looking over his masterpiece nearly seven minutes later.
"What?" Naruto asked sitting up to see what it was that disserved such a wordy statement.
"Well, I think I can put the bandage on now, Hello Kitty or Care Bears?" Sasuke asked wisely, pulling out too boxes of children bandages.
"Well," Naruto began, looking over the options, deeply contemplating the choice.
"Both," he said simply falling back down on his pillow. Sasuke shrugged, putting two brightly colored bandages over the cut.
"Look it's done see," Sasuke said grabbing his bunkmate's hand lightly, and guiding it over the newly fixed wound.
But the guiding hand froze as Sasuke's eyes skimmed over one particular bruise.
"I-I did that too?" He choked out, the memory coming to him clearly.
Naruto said nothing, just looked at the raven with glazed eyes, wondering just what he would do.
"I-I-" His voice became raspy as he rubbed his other hand lightly over the mark.
The blond winced as the boy's fingertips brushed against the area, making Sasuke feel even more awful with himself.
Sasuke's midnight eyes looked Naruto up and down, and couldn't help but adore the teenager. He wanted nothing more then to be liked by him. And for him to feel better, much better.
"I'm so sorry Naruto." Sasuke whimpered curling his arms around the boy's waist slowly.
The blond was more then stunned at the very unexpected reaction from the Uchiha.
"I'm sorry for everything please, please forgive me. I never meant to hurt you. Please don't be hurt." The boy pleaded, his personality altering from the normal, cold, arrogant heartless bastard he is normally.
And Naruto didn't mined at all. He knew how Sasuke was, it was just him. Actually, him not being so warm normally made Naruto even happier. It meant he actually cared. So he hugged back, sitting up to embrace his friend. Yes his friend, it was undeniable now.
Naruto smiled, unlocked their arms then pulling his sweatshirt over the wound his stomach.
"Thanks Sasuke bastard!" He grinned,
"You know maybe you're not half bad!" Sasuke smiled back just as the door flew open. The smile disappeared once he saw who was behind it.
"Hey bitches!" A familiar voice hollered, rampaging thru the entrance.
Kiba pounced for his bed, grabbing his shady magazines and rushing into the bathroom. The sinful teenager.
"Hey Shikamaru!" Naruto greeted smiling at his friend.
"Sup." Was all the lazy teenager said after glaring at the distance between Sasuke and Naruto.
And the raven couldn't hold back a snicker, missing the horrified expression the lazy boy wore as his eyes took in a hockey skate on the ground, the blade wearing deep red.
"Damn it! I don't wanna go to drama!" Naruto whined loudly.
"Me- e-either!"
"Eww! Kiba! Shut up your voice is grossing me out!"
"I'm trying to sleep here, so let's all quiet down."
"Hn."
Naruto smiled. He loved his little life style. He loved his friends and he loved being right. His eyes glanced upon his hand, still being wrapped by another. He had a feeling they would not be letting go anytime soon.
