Lonely In Gorgeous
Disclaimer: I don't own the show…now Naruto do that thing that I taught you.
Naruto: -crosses arm across his chest, eyes narrow- Hn…
Sera: -claps- GREAT SASUKE IMPRESSION!
Naruto: -bows- Thank you…thank you…I'd just like to thank the academy.
Sasuke: Idiot…
(Alternate universe thingy…they are in HIGH SCHOOL)
Naruto looked at the ceiling of his new bedroom. His blue eyes clouded then shut.
'Sasuke's mom is really nice.' He thought as he caught a whiff of cookies that she had set on the nightstand when he was 'asleep', before kissing his forehead and leaving the room.
He had never had a family, well Hinata had been family but he'd screwed it up. He hated to think of her, Gaara and the inevitable triangle that would soon become a square or perhaps a plethora of shapes he didn't know the names of. How is it that she got lovelier now that she was no longer his?
"Damn it all…" He said to himself as he remembered the notable bounce in Itachi's step when he announced, more for Sasuke then anything else, that he and Hinata had a date Saturday. Naruto was a bit upset, after all she was his ex girlfriend but the anger subsided into amusement as soon as he saw Sasuke's face. The young boy scowled at his older brother, cursed, then yelled his entire name loud enough so that the neighborhood could hear. He'd have laughed at the name Muriel but Itachi was a pretty big guy and Naruto wasn't that stupid.
"Hey dumb ass can I come in?"
Naruto sat up, leaning on his elbows on the bed.
"Whatever."
Sasuke stepped into the room shutting it lightly before making his way to the bed. He stood for a moment, thinking hard before taking a seat beside the blonde.
"Can I ask you something?"
Naruto nodded.
"Sure."
"How was it like with her?"
Naruto lifted a blonde brow.
"What?"
"With Hinata," Sasuke said slowly. "how was it like to be with her?"
Naruto laid back down and sighed.
"It was like Christmas and Valentines rolled into one. We never did go far but," Naruto's eyes misted. "whenever she had stayed over, just to sleep, and when I'd wake up before she did, it was like Christmas morning and I was five again…presents and cookies and laughing and warmth…that's how she's like."
Sasuke listened intently then he laid back next to the boy.
"Then why Sakura?" He suddenly asked. "Why leave someone so great for Sakura?"
"Sometimes Christmas isn't enough, sometimes you want to feel…I knew she cherished me and cared but that wasn't enough." Naruto admitted. "After a while I noticed that it was the same, a kiss here and hug there, but it never escalated into anything and slowly I just stopped."
"Stopped?"
"I stopped pretending that she loved me when really we'd just fallen into routine. It's sick to say but I kinda pushed myself on her you know."
Sasuke nodded.
"I know that it was wrong, and all I did was beg but it was just to feel something. Calling her a cold and distant bitch is wrong but at the time I thought that of her. She started to lean on Kiba and Shino more and her secrets weren't ours but hers and Ino's. I was jealous and Sakura was there…and I fell in love."
They didn't speak. Though Sasuke was a bit pissed about the cold distant bitch phrase he wouldn't allow himself to yell at Naruto. After all he had said what he had felt at that time, Sasuke would merely be an idiot for getting angry when he asked for the truth.
It made sense. Naruto loved her, she didn't love him. He wanted to be close to her and thought sex was the answer, she pushed him away.
"I see."
Naruto looked over at his dark haired friend and sighed.
"Don't think different about her. It's different for everyone." He smiled. "And if you intend to get the girl I suggest you go for it now…I here there's another guy after her and I aint talkin' about Itachi."
"Who?"
Naruto sat up and with seriousness in his face uttered a name he hated.
"Sai."
-
Sai made his way to the food court of Konoha Mall with a swagger in his step. His dark eyes seemed to scan the faces of the teenagers before falling on the once face he'd been looking for. He made his was to the teenage boy.
"Hyuuga, can I have a moment with you?"
Neji stiffened, recognizing the voice immediately as Sai, Hinata's first love. (I know I know but bear with me…) Sai and Hinata knew one another in junior high, they were close friends but when Sai had moved to Sound they had said goodbye. Unfortunately Sai had moved back and at the worst possible time…to confess his love for her. Whether of not she'd gotten over him was a mystery to Neji.
"Sai, it's been a long time. How have you been?"
Sai grinned.
"Just fine. How's that friend of yours?"
"Lee's doing well…so what brings you to me? I doubt it's for the scintillating conversation."
Sai smiled and nodded.
"You know me too well Hyuuga…too well." His smiled was replaced by a smirk. "How is Hina?"
"Fine."
"Any boyfriends."
Neji nodded.
"She'd dated Naruto Uzumaki for about a year."
"The dick-less wonder? I thought she had better taste then that."
Neji continued with a smirk, determined to get Sai to stay away from Hinata. They'd never really gotten along and after the boy left Hinata had cried for days…even when he had been around, his dating and stringing her around caused to many tears for his liking.
"Now she is dating the Uchiha brothers."
"Both?"
Neji nodded.
Sai though seemed unaffected and smiled.
"Good. I so like a challenge." And with that he turned the other way and left. Neji was fuming but slightly amused.
'This ought to be a good show.'
