A Raven's Guide to Seducing a Blonde
Naruto stood there looking at the space which Sora was standing at. There was no way Sasuke would give him 5 grand and there was no way he could afford to have those photo's all over school. Saying that… would it honestly be that big of a deal? He already came out to Shikamaru and to Sasuke and he honestly would rather be able to kiss and fuck whoever he damn wanted to but… did he really want his reputation to be like this? What should I do?
Chapter 9: Don't Make Me Regret This, Teme
"Kiba are you really that mad at Naruto you would go so far as to help a guy like Sora?" Sasuke asked confused as to why someone so close to the blonde could be so reckless towards him.
"I didn't think Sora would actually do anything. I honestly thought he would just taunt with him a bit, fight it out and that be the end of it" Kiba felt guilty as he knew he had gone too far. As much as it hurt him for Naruto not telling him the truth, he really didn't want anything bad to happen to his friend.
"It was a stupid thing to do regardless"
"Yeah, I know…"
Naruto re-entered the cafeteria and approached Kiba. He grabbed him by the ear and dragged him into the corridor with Sasuke following.
"What's the big idea, that fucking hurt!"
"Shut up. How many copies does Sora have?"
"I have no idea Naruto…-"
The blonde pushed Kiba hard into the locker. He was so frustrated with everything and everyone right now he didn't know how to handle the situation.
"Bullshit. Fucking tell me… please Kiba. He's going to post them around school if I don't give him five fucking grand" Naruto at this point sounded like he was pleading and sad rather than angry. Sasuke didn't understand much about the reputation of this school but he hated how it made people like himself and Naruto feel like they can't be honest with themselves and be proud of who they are. It made him resent his father even more. Seeing the blonde plead like this over something which shouldn't be this much of a big deal was heart breaking, especially because he had seriously strong feelings for this guy. He reached out and pulled Naruto from Kiba, surprised that he didn't really have much of a grip on him.
"Calm down Naruto, it'll be alright"
Kiba looked at his friend's sad expression and felt so much guilt. If he wasn't such an asshole then perhaps Naruto would've been able to talk to him.
"Naruto, you won't be giving this guy anything you understand? We'll find a way to sort this out I promise…" Kiba said pleading for his friend's forgiveness.
"I hate fighting like this…" the blonde added.
"I do too moron" Kiba smiled walking towards him. "Perhaps we should, um… I don't know talk or something"
Naruto laughed. It was weird seeing Kiba trying to be sensitive, it just didn't suit the guy. "Careful, you'll ruin your reputation acting like that"
"I miss having you around"
"Shut the fuck up Kiba, don't get all sentimental on me" He laughed walking away.
"See you tonight then?" Kiba said loudly so he could hear from down the hall.
Naruto never answered and just threw a salute like wave.
"You're welcome too, Sasuke"
"Thanks…"
"So are you two like… dating or something?"
"No we aren't together. At least I don't think we are"
Sasuke wasn't sure how to answer a question like that. Every time they got together they kissed and did things which people do when they're dating. He wasn't sure if Naruto only wanted to keep it casual. Sasuke didn't know if Naruto had seen anyone else during the time he went AWOL and to be honest he really didn't want him to. He actually wanted to date him. But he didn't know if he could handle having a secret relationship with someone. Being all loved up when they're together, and acting casual in the hallways is not something Sasuke could see himself doing.
He always imagined himself being in a type of relationship where they would do everything together. He liked public affection; the whole holding hands kind of thing, kissing in the hallway making eyes stare and just being themselves around each other. But he knew Naruto was the total opposite to that. He wasn't going to give up though. He wanted everyone to see the kind and loving person Sasuke had gotten to know. Not the bad-boy persona everyone has branded him with. He was responsible for his own reputation but, he also has the power to change that. He just wishes he could get through to him.
"Is everything alright Sasuke?" Kiba asked as he watched Sasuke be emitted in deep thought.
"Huh?"
"You spaced out for a minute there!"
"Oh, sorry I was just… thinking…"
"Look Sasuke, I'll be honest with you. I was a bit confused and wary about how you clung around Naruto the first couple weeks you got here. I never really understood it because Naruto never likes to make new friends in school because they are too much of a hassle. But I was wrong about you"
"You were?"
"Yeah, you seem like a decent enough guy. I mean, despite everything that seems to be going on with Naruto at the moment, I've honestly not seen him happier whenever he is around you"
"He's… happier around me?"
"Totally, man. I mean I can see the way he looks at you. At first I just saw the way you looked at Naruto and didn't take much notice of it from his end"
"I made it that obvious huh?"
"Just a bit! But I can see how much it means to him having you around"
Sasuke smiled. He was glad he could have that much of an impact on someone. It made him feel a little bit more hopeful.
Kiba left to go to his locker whilst Sasuke exited the school to find Naruto. He saw him sitting on the steps near the parking lot.
"You okay?" he asked as he sat down beside him.
"You wanna ditch with me?"
"Always"
They decided not to attend the last couple of classes after lunch. Naruto really didn't care much about making an effort anymore. He felt bad in a way because of the school's efforts to give him a second chance, but there was no way he was going to get through senior year now. Not with the way things were.
Naruto and Sasuke were walking along the docks where a good few boats were situated. It was peaceful and not many people were around. Naruto loved places where it was quiet. After living in such chaos his whole life, he really appreciated it when he could get a moments peace.
"He wants the money within a week"
"What a fucking asshole, who does he even think he is blackmailing you like that. What is his deal?"
Naruto stopped and watched as a man was working on his boat.
"Apparently I snubbed him though high school. He tried to be my friend and I rejected him"
"Did you?"
"Not intentionally. The guy never used to speak until now. I never took notice of anyone really except the people who were my friends. I don't trust too easily"
"Can I ask…"
"Hm?"
"If that's true then… why was it different with me? You let me into your friend's group without any hesitation"
"I honestly don't know the reason why Sasuke it just felt like it was, right? I'm not too sure what to say without it sounding real cheesy" Naruto laughed nervously. Sasuke stepped closer so that their shoulders were touching lightly.
"Well I happen to like cheesy" he said with a cheeky grin on his face.
"Agh, what do you do to me teme" the blonde said blushing continuing to walk along the pier with Sasuke following. "What do you think I should do?"
"Well you haven't got 5 grand have you?"
"No I do not have 5 grand, Sasuke" he snapped.
Sasuke stopped Naruto who had started to walk at a faster pace.
"Listen to me. You are worth so much more than 5 grand dobe"
"So you think I need to give him more?"
"No you idiot that's not what I meant" He pulled him into a hug and whispered into his ear. "All the money in the world couldn't compensate for how much your existence and happiness is worth" he pulled back and looked Naruto straight in the eye. "You're never going to see these people again once high school is over. Don't let people walk all over you like this"
"I'm not sure if it's a good idea…"
"Call his bluff, see what happens. If it all blows up, I'll be there with you. So will Shikamaru and Kiba and all your other friends"
Naruto smiled. For some reason Sasuke always made him feel better about every situation. He felt his phone buzz in his pocket.
"Oh it's Shikamaru"
"Answer it then dobe"
"Oh, right… Hello?"
"Naruto where are you?" Shikamaru asked sounding slightly panicked.
"I'm at the docks with Sasuke. Why? Is Iruka asking for me or something-"
"-No Naruto, its Sora"
"Sora? What about him...?"
Sasuke looked towards Naruto at the sound of Sora's name. What has he been up to this time?
"There are pictures of you and… Sasuke up around every locker in school"
"THERE'S WHAT?! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!"
"I've taken most of them down alright but, a lot of people have already seen them, I'm sorry. Tell me what I can do"
"Don't do anything Shikamaru, I don't want anyone to hurt you"
"I don't care about that anymore Naruto, just name it I'll do it"
"Just hang tight, I'll be right there" he said as he hung up.
"What's wrong?"
"We're going back to school, come on" Naruto said angrily.
"Naruto slow down! What the matter"
"Will you just hurry and drive us back please?"
"Not before you tell me what's wrong"
"He fucking posted them!"
"What?"
"The pictures are all over school!"
"But I thought he said he wanted money?"
"I don't fucking know Sasuke, all I know is the crazy bastard has just outed me to the entire school!" Naruto shouted almost in tears.
"Hey.. Come here it's alright"
Naruto hesitated at the contact.
"Don't do that to me Naruto…"
"I'll just fucking walk alright you can stay here" Naruto said whilst storming off onto the road.
"Jesus Christ, Naruto come back, ill drive you just, stop for a second" he chased him up the road not being able to slow him down.
"Naruto! Stop!"
"Sasuke just… leave me alone!"
"Not when you're like this, no. Come on ill drive you"
"Forget it, it's a bad idea to turn up to the school with you after bunking off. Imagine the things they think we were up to"
"Naruto…"
"I'm sorry… god I'm sorry I just…-"
"Hey it's alright" Sasuke said smiling at him.
"It's not… you've done so much for me and all I'm doing to you is treating you like shit"
"Come on… stop running and face it. I promise you, if you want… I'll run away with you if it backfires"
Naruto laughed. Sasuke was just too adorable.
"I'm… going to hold you to that, teme" he said walking back to Sasuke's car.
"I should hope so" Sasuke said quietly without Naruto hearing.
They pulled up the school and Naruto hesitated before getting out of the car. Something in the back of his mind was screaming fuck it and another voice was screaming get the hell out of here. He thought to himself that it might be easier to do both. Let the jocks beat him up and be humiliated in front of the whole school, and then disappear.
"Naruto… are you alright?" Sasuke asked, noticing the blonde having an inner battle with himself.
"Sasuke…"
"Hm?"
"Name 3 options I have right now"
Sasuke looked at him with a concerned look. "Dobe, what are you talking about-"
"-Sasuke…" he cut him off, "if I go in there now I'm gonna lose it… tell me what to do" he said looking at him with a serious face.
"Alright. Option 1"
Naruto turned to face Sasuke. He knew if he went in there without his head straight he would end up humiliating himself even more, have an episode of rage or just go completely mental with the first person who looked at him wrong. He was on thin ice as it is, and he wanted to be the bigger person.
Sasuke continued. "You walk in there, like nothing has happened. People laugh, shrug it off. People comment, shrug it off. People tease? Shrug it off. Look at that picture and say, so what? I look fucking hot"
"Just like that?"
"Just like that."
Naruto was confused as to why it seemed so simple to Sasuke. Didn't he understand how bad it was going to be?
"You have a lot of influence in there, and where people might be afraid of you, you never know if anyone actually looks up to you, did you ever think of that?"
"I honestly have no idea where you're going with this"
Sasuke thought for someone so smart and streetwise, he could be pretty dense sometimes.
"From my observations, during situations you tend to be a little melodramatic. You always think about the worst case scenarios and make up scenes in your head that only play out in movies"
Naruto couldn't help but agree with him on that one.
Sasuke continued again, "Think of it as a movie. You know those types where there's a popular group who aren't very nice to the rest of the school, and even though they're like that people seem to follow what they do and look up to them"
"You think I'm like that?"
The raven shook his head in annoyance. "No idiot. My point being even if people expect you to react in a certain way, you can have a positive influence if you don't"
"So you're saying what exactly?"
"I'm saying people are going to be expecting you to react in the normal way that you do. How about you change that? I can promise you this; you are not going to be the only male or female to be struggling with your sexuality. It sometimes takes someone with more popularity, more influence to stand up for what is right, so people that aren't confident enough with a voice feel safe to follow that. Because right now, they are doing the safe thing and following the crowd, as in, the jock's views"
Everything of what Sasuke made sense. It would be nice to be able to change things like that but it still seemed like too much of a risk to him.
"Listen, if all else fails I promise to blow the school up with you how about that?"
Naruto chuckled at the raven and then stopping as he thought that would be something he would actually do.
"Or we could wait until homecoming and pull a Carrie White"
"I love that movie"
"Then it's settled" he said winking at the blonde making him feel more at ease.
They walked towards the entrance of the school. It was halfway through the 2nd last period so the hallways where empty. The only noise was coming from the outside courtyards with people in gym class and the mumbling of people in the classrooms. Sasuke always wondered why it was so easy for people to just come and go from this place without anyone batting an eyelid. He guessed he was just used to private school life.
Naruto walked up to one of the lockers which had one of the photos stuck to it. He pulled it off in an angry motion and stared at it. He had to admit, it did look hot. But anger and embarrassment flushed onto his face as he started to clench and crumple the paper.
Sasuke put his hand on his shoulder. "Remember what I said, shrug it off" the raven smiled at him, taking the photo and throwing it in the trash.
They waited by Naruto's locker listening out for the bell to chime. It was the longest 10 minutes of his life. He felt anxiety build up in the pit of his stomach.
Sora sat staring at the clock. Kiba had told him to expect Naruto to return to school. He had told him to prepare himself the ass kicking of his life and he was honestly shitting himself. He didn't regret what he did though. He was so done with people like Naruto. He felt he deserved everything he got, the bad tempered little brat. It was almost time and people were about to flood the hallways and see the photo's properly. He had showed the pictures to the jocks prior to the class, just in case he needed extra backup.
The bell chimed and Naruto stood up straight from leaning against the locker. He had no idea what to do with himself but he knew he didn't want to awkwardly stand there waiting for someone to comment. Sasuke looked at him and back at the people flocking from classrooms. Some students had a piece of paper already in hand and were whispering. Girls were giggling and gossiping, whilst some guys where shrugging and throwing it away. Sasuke thought to himself that it wasn't that bad. Naruto should be strong enough to handle a little light teasing from gossiping high school girls.
More gasps, laughs and oh my god's where filling the hallways and sharp uneasy glances were shooting messily towards Naruto, as if waiting for him to snap. Even though people where reacting and laughing at the exposure, when the blonde made eye contact with them they immediately stopped. Where they actually afraid of him? He never stopped to observe people's behaviour in situations so to him. Without thinking he grabbed Sasuke's hand.
The sudden public gesture shocked Sasuke. He honestly did not expect Naruto to hold his hand during this situation; in fact he half expected to be shooed away.
"Don't make me regret this, teme" Naruto said in a shaky voice as he started walking through the crowd, still holding the raven's hand.
Shikamaru stood at the end of the hallway after frantically looking for Naruto.
"Is he here yet?" Kiba said worried.
Shikamaru smiled. The biggest smile he had ever pulled. He pointed in the direction of Naruto and Sasuke.
"Huh?" Kiba said confused as he locked eyes with the blonde. "Oh!"
"Well that was unexpected" Shikamaru said, still smiling.
To be continued.
