Hey everyone! So, since Muted Love is being put on a temporary hiatus, there's going to be a new story in its place and this is it! I hope you guys like this story!
Without further ado, here's the first chapter of If You'll Have Me!
Naruto Uzumaki sat in one of the high, plastic chairs in the lobby of Konoha High School, a small grey and black picture in his hand. He let out a nervous sigh as he waited for the bell to signal the end of the school day.
Naruto was a freshman along with his boyfriend, Sasuke Uchiha. The two have been going out since the last month of eighth grade which was about eight months ago.
The two of them have been best friends since they started school. During their 9 year friendship, the two of them developed feelings for each other. It wasn't until Sasuke mustered up the courage to ask the blonde out that the two were finally able to admit their feelings.
The two spent their summer vacation as boyfriends instead of best friends, getting to know each other intimately.
But after summer vacation, when their first year of high school began, the two went through changes.
Naruto was never a popular kid, always deemed the class clown and troublemaker. But the kids decided that ignoring him wasn't enough this year. It started off with verbal insults but after a month or so, it became physical.
While being bullied was the fate of Naruto, Sasuke was soon learning the perks of popularity. Girls would throw themselves at him, and guys would become friends with him to get near the girls. Sasuke tried to ignore the popularity, sticking with Naruto. The brunette tried to stop the bullying, but Naruto's large heart didn't want Sasuke to have to deal with it. He encouraged his boyfriend to soak it in.
And soon, Sasuke was soaking it up. Consumed by the attention, the gifts, and pretty much anything else he wanted, he began to ignore Naruto, at first only at school, but lately it's even been after school.
It wasn't until the day before Valentine's Day, about a month ago, that Naruto said something to Sasuke, threatening the end of their relationship. The brunette pleaded with him and Naruto easily forgave him. The two spent Valentine's Day in Sasuke's room where they lost their virginity to each other, which put Naruto in his current dilemma.
Staring at his ultrasound picture of their 5 week old fetus. He grimly smiled down at it.
"Naruto." He looked up to lock eyes with Gaara, one of the only people to talk to him in the whole school. "How'd it go?" He sat at the table across from Naruto.
Naruto held up the picture, his lips pursed.
Gaara's eyes widened and he took it from Naruto. "No shit." He looked it over and with a small shake of his head he handed it back to Naruto. "So you really are preggers?"
Naruto let out a groan and pulled his hair in frustration. "What am I going to do? My grandparents are going to kill me. It's like they're living this nightmare all over again."
Naruto lived with his grandparents, Jiraiya and Tsunade Uzumaki. Their daughter Kushina, became pregnant in high school by Naruto's father, Minato Namikaze. After she gave birth, the two of them stayed in Naruto's life for about five years before abandoning Naruto with his grandparents and running away together, to where no one really knows.
Gaara looked at him with sympathy. "You can always get an abortion."
Naruto gave him a glare. "Over my dead body."
Gaara shrugged. "Just an option."
"That's why I'm waiting for Sasuke. We'll figure out what to do, together." He smiled sadly down at the ultrasound.
Gaara gave him a skeptical look. "Is he acting like an asshole again?"
Naruto looked up at Gaara a large smile on his face. "N-no! Of course not!" Gaara narrowed his eyes, seeing through Naruto's lie. He opened his mouth to say something, when the final bell rang.
He hopped down from the chair, clenching the ultrasound tightly. "Wish me luck." He threw a nervous smile to Gaara and started to head down the hallway and towards the Uchiha's last class which was a free period.
Once he turned the corner, he saw Sasuke walk out of the room with two of the most popular girls in school, Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka. They currently had their arms laced through each of the Uchiha's arms and laughing loudly at him.
Naruto frowned at the behavior, but quickly shook his head, and took a deep breath. "Sasuke!" He called out and was about to continue forward but stopped in his tracks at the sight he saw.
Ino let go of Sasuke's arm and in one quick movement, Sasuke grabbed Sakura's waist and kissed her passionately. He pulled away and gave her a smirk.
"That fucking ass." Naruto turned his head at the voice, only to see Gaara standing next to him, eyes set glaring at Sasuke. Naruto turned to face Sasuke once again, still in disbelief. "I'll kill him."
When Sasuke stepped away from Sakura, he turned and saw Naruto and Gaara in the hallway. His eyes widened in surprise before he looked away from them, stricken with guilt.
Before he knew what he was doing, Naruto ran. He ran out of the building and ran onto the bus. He sat down in the first open seat, breathing heavily. He closed his eyes and leaned his head forward and rested it onto the seat.
"Naruto." Naruto sat up in surprise and turned to see Itachi Uchiha, Sasuke's older brother, a junior in high school, looking at him, an eyebrow raised. "What's wrong?"
Naruto blinked owlishly at him, before he felt himself crying. "I-I think Sasuke's cheating on me." He shook his head and then looked down at his lap. "I know he's cheating on me."
Sasuke walked up to where Naruto was, bending down to pick up what his boyfriend dropped.
Gaara glared at him. "I hope you're happy with yourself, Uchiha. I should beat the shit out of you right now." He shook his head and walked away.
Sasuke watched Gaara's retreating figure before looking down at what was in his hand and frowned. 'An ultrasound?' He looked it over before noticing the name in the top corner, recognizing it as Naruto's. 'He's pregnant?'
"What's that?" Sakura asked, coming up behind him.
Sasuke quickly stuffed the ultrasound in his pocket. "Nothing. Just a love note from Naruto."
Sakura snorted. "What a loser. You should just dump his stupid ass. I'll lovingly take you in." She lightly ran his fingers down his arm and gave him a smirk.
Sasuke stayed silent, his mind in a state of turmoil. He slowly trailed behind Sakura and Ino as they walked out of the school.
"You coming with us, Sasuke?" Ino asked as the trio reached the end of the walkway.
Sasuke looked at them and then back at the buses that were lined in front of the school. "No. I gotta do some stuff today."
Sakura humphed as she flipped her shoulder length pink hair. "Whatever you say. See you tomorrow." She gave him a dismissive wave as her and Ino walked towards the main road.
With a sigh and a hand through his hair, he headed towards the school bus. He climbed on and began to look for his blonde haired boyfriend. He walked down the narrow aisle only to stop and glare as he saw Naruto leaning his head on his brother's shoulder.
"What are you doing?" Sasuke marched up to the pair.
Itachi looked up at him, a bored expression on his face. "Comforting your boyfriend. Since apparently you wanna be lip locking with someone else."
Sasuke flinched at Itachi's words. He looked down only to look at Naruto, who was staring straight ahead. "Naruto, I-"
"Just leave me alone, Sasuke." He cut the raven off, his voice rough from his crying earlier.
"But-"
"Go." Itachi bit out, his eyes narrowing in a glare at his younger brother.
Sasuke took a step back before moving towards the back of the bus, trying to find another seat. He sat down in an empty seat with a defeated placed his headphones in his ears and waited for the ride home to begin.
So how do you guys like it so far? It kinda just jumps right into it, but things will come together as the story goes on.
