A Raven's Guide to Seducing a Blonde

Chapter 12: How to Kill a Raven with One Word

It had been 7 months since Naruto had been sentenced and Sasuke hadn't seen or heard from him. He refused to let anyone visit especially Sasuke. He felt so lost and so alone without him. His heart ached at how much he fucking missed that dobe. The first bond he had ever had and it got taken away from him before it barely became anything. It hurt him to learn that Naruto no longer wanted anything to do with Sasuke but the raven was smart enough to know that the only reason he was saying that was because he went to prison. Sasuke understood his decisions and his reasoning behind it but… he didn't want it to be this way. Shikamaru and Kiba had been looking out for him since he was gone because Shika made a promise to the blonde before he went to court.

7 months ago before the trial

Naruto had texted Shikamaru to come over to his house. He had just come home from the courts with a date for his hearing. When he arrived he sat in his room with a serious look on his face.

"How did it go?" Shikamaru asked him, feeling concerned for his best friend.

"Not so good. It's honestly… not looking good at all"

"I'm sorry… I really feel party to blame here" Shikamaru felt guilty know that part of the reason why he attacked the jock was because of all the anger he had towards them after how they treat Shikamaru.

"Don't blame yourself Shika, please"

"What did you want to talk about anyways?"

"My court date is tomorrow, and like I said it isn't looking good. I'll most probably serve time for the charges and breaking the terms of my probation so… I need to ask a favour"

"Anything, Naruto"

"Please look after Sasuke" Naruto looked down at his hands. He missed the touch of that man and the presence of him but… he had to make the decision to let him go so that he wouldn't hurt him anymore. "I told him he had to stay away. I can't drag him down with me, especially since we were starting to get… attached"

"Are you sure this is the right thing to do?"

"I can't do it to him Shika. I can't look the man in the eye and break his heart every day"

"You know he'd do anything for you right?"

"That's the problem. He needs to get used to me not being around anymore, its better this way"

"Naruto…"

"Please Shika. This is for the best. I just ask that you keep him in the group, treat him kindly and… don't let him be alone. He… needs friends like you. He needs to still have people in his life. I don't want him to be alone or to feel like he has no one. Just look after him and look out for him. Also… don't let him come to the trial tomorrow, it'll be too much for me"

"I understand"

"Thank you, Shika"

After he had left, he looked at his phone and noticed Sasuke had not stopped texting him even though he hadn't replied. He felt he owed it to Sasuke to at least give him some closure so he called him.

Sasuke sat at his desk feeling defeated when his phone suddenly rang. It was Naruto.

"Hello?"

"Sasuke…"

"So you finally called me huh? Do you know how fucking worried I have been!"

"I know… I'm sorry I just, didn't know what to say to you"

"How did it go at the court? Do you have a hearing date yet?"

"Yes. It's tomorrow"

"What time? I'll be there-"

"-NO, Sasuke I don't want you to come, it's… just please"

"Are you serious?"

"Listen Sasuke. I am so happy I got to meet you and so lucky that I got the chance to spend the time I did with you. I don't regret a single moment, a single kiss, and a single… intimate moment with you. It was all real to me, you helped me come out and be who I really am and I really grateful for that because I couldn't have done it without you, none of it…

"Naruto…"

"…I really fucking think I love you"

"Y-you…"

"I needed you to know that, Sasuke. But this can't work. Please, don't come to the trial tomorrow. Stay in school, and ignore your asshole of a father. Look after yourself and don't be reckless okay?"

"What are you saying…"

"This is the last time I'll call, it's highly likely I will be sent down tomorrow and I don't want you to visit me, or wait for me or anything like that because I'm not worth it…"

"You are though, Naruto I fucking-"

"-SASUKE! Please… it's for the best. I'm sorry, alright? I will always cherish our bond and I hate to do this as I never wanted to fucking leave your side but I really have no choice. Please take care of yourself…"

"ButI love you too Naruto"

Sasuke wasn't quite sure but he could've sworn he heard the blonde smiling over the phone after he had said that as Naruto hung up. His heart, was breaking.

Present Day

Even though Shikamaru had told Sasuke not to attend Naruto's hearing, he had gone anyways because he wouldn't be able to forgive himself if he didn't. When the judge had sentenced him for 3 years his heart had stopped in that moment. The realisation that it could possibly be a hell of a long time before he was able to see him again. And the fact he has to spend the rest of this school year without him. When the trial ended he made serious eye contact with the blonde before he was taken away. Naruto had smiled at him which made him feel like that was his way of telling him that he forgave Sasuke, for going against his wishes. And he was right. Naruto was happy that he got to see Sasuke before he left, even though it was in the most unfortunate circumstances.

The end of the senior year was approaching fast and despite being depressed and heartbroken Sasuke couldn't take anymore agro or disappointment so instead of making things worse for his parents he did his best to keep his grades up enough to graduate. He barely spoke a word to anyone throughout this time and even through many attempts by Kiba and Shikamaru, Sasuke found himself unable to enjoy any moment. Now that the whole school was fully aware of Naruto's sexuality, the raven had noticed an exceptional increase of homosexual couples around school. This is one thing that made Sasuke smile. The fact that through all of this Naruto had actually left a positive and lasting impression on people. Prom was coming up and the last thing Sasuke wanted to think about was dealing with a place where everyone was getting all loved up. He really craved the blonde and it ached when he thought of the last time they kissed.

Throughout the day there had been many people who had asked Sasuke to go to the prom with them but he just shook his head and walked away. It was so troublesome. He didn't want anyone mooning after him, he didn't want anyone else but Naruto. It was lunch time and when the weather was nice, Sasuke had taken vacancy in Naruto's favourite lunch spot on the stairs at the back of the basketball courts. Ironically this was the place that landed the blonde in so much trouble but this is also where they had their last kiss. So Sasuke felt close to him here. He ate alone every day despite Shikamaru's efforts to join them. Just as he finished eating he saw Shikamaru approaching him.

"Thought I'd find you here, can I sit?" Shika asked carefully not wanting to intrude.

"Sure" he said, bluntly.

"I wondered if you wanted to go to the prom next Monday."

"Wait what? Are you…"

"Oh! Shit… no I'm sorry that totally sounded like I was asking you out. Naruto would kill me!" Shikamaru teased.

Sasuke laughed. To be honest he smiled whenever anyone mentioned the blonde's name.

"What I meant was, me and Kiba and some of the guys were just going to go as a group. Thought you might want to come with us since you seemed to turn down half the school's request for a date"

"Yeah, I don't think the girls here get the meaning of the words, I'm gay"

"You know what they are like, they see a handsome guy and they skip important details like that! I mean, you became quite popular ever since you were known as Naruto's boyfriend"

"Do people really say that? It wasn't as if we were exclusive. Shit we weren't even dating…"

"How are you holding up? It's been a while since the sentencing huh" Shikamaru asked carefully, hoping that it wasn't too much of a sore subject to bring up.

"I'm alright. I really do miss him though. He was the first… um… friend I've really ever had, apart from you guys but… it was different with him"

"Yeah, you mean a lot to him"

"If that's true then why doesn't he let me visit him?"

"Shame? Pride? I don't know Sasuke, the list goes on with that guy but I can tell you for certain that any decisions he made wasn't because you didn't mean anything to him"

"I guess…"

"So how about it, prom?"

"I don't know… it sounds kind of lame"

"It is. But Kiba is having a party as soon as his parents head off to work. We plan to hang around for a bit, spike the punch and then hang out at Kiba's for the night. Might help you take your mind off things?"

"Sure, why not"

Final exams were over and everyone felt as though they could relax. When Shikamaru got home he noticed an unusual letter in his mailbox. When he opened it he couldn't believe what he was reading, after all this time Naruto had requested him to visit. A couple of days later after accepting the visiting order Shikamaru made his way to the prison. He was a little nervous to see him in such an environment and he was hoping that the blonde was coping in prison. When he was at the detention centre, it was most probably a lot more different than being sentenced as an adult, which made him worry even more for Naruto. He wondered why now after all these months he wanted him to visit him.

When he entered the prison he issued the guard with his details and his visiting order, and was led into the visiting room where there was a few prisoners already talking with visitors. He sat patiently and anxiously when he saw Naruto being brought in by one of the prison guards. Naruto immediately smiled at the sight of his friend, happy that he had accepted him to visit. He sat down, Naruto feeling a little nervous too.

"Wow you look… better than I expected" Shikamaru stated, surprised at how well he looked.

"What were you expecting? Me to be all bloody and beaten up with tattoos all over my face?" he joked.

"No… not at all" he laughed back. " How are you doing?"

"I'm alright, it's not so bad. Time goes by so slow here, though. Not much to do"

"And no one is giving you any trouble?" he asked, worryingly.

"Why would they give me any trouble?"

"Well you're a hot blonde with blue eyes, if the stories I hear are true I imagine you'd be someone's bitch by now!" Shika teased, happy to see his best friend again.

"What makes you think I'm not the one who hasn't made someone else my bitch huh?" he teased back.

"Eh, I can see that actually. So um… can I ask?"

"Ask away"

"Why now? After refusing to let anyone at all visit you, why ask me to come now? Are you in trouble?"

"No… actually… um, they're letting me out next week"

"What?!"

"Yeah. Even though I've only served 7 months out of my 3 year sentence, I appealed and due to good behaviour and good recommendations from my doctors they approved"

"Your doctors?"

"Yeah, I was diagnosed with IED"

"What does that stand for?"

"Intermittent Explosive Disorder. Someone who experiences outburst of episodes with failure to resist aggressive impulses triggered by stressful aggressive and um… triggering situations"

"Yeah… that sounds like you"

"Hey!" he laughed. "But yeah, they've got me on medication which has mellowed me out"

"I'm really happy you're getting the help you need Naruto"

"Yeah…"

"So good behaviour huh?" Shikamaru felt proud that the blonde had managed to stay out of trouble and keep his head down. He was afraid that the stress and all of his pent up anger was eventually going to kill him.

"Yeah! Not a spot of trouble" he said proudly "I even finished my diploma"

"They let you continue your qualifications?"

"Yeah, after much appealing from Iruka Sensei… I feel bad for how much of a hard time I gave him in the past. I wasn't able to take exams from my major but they were able to grant me the option to do my core subjects such as mathematics and English"

"That's great Naruto, I'm really happy for you"

"Thanks…"

The prison bell rang the 5 minute warning sound to let the visitors know that their time was almost up.

"We only have a couple of minutes left so I need to ask you something before you go… how is he?"

"He's okay, although he's a mess without you"

"I see…"

"Have you had a change of heart?"

"Yeah… I kind of regret the things I said to him. I wasn't very nice over text I don't think…"

"What did you say?"

"Something along the lines of we can't be um… be together, I didn't want him to come to the trial or visit me if I got sent down…"

"Wow kill the man slowly why don't you"

"Yeah… I did worse though"

"What did you do you idiot?"

"I told him I loved him"

"What? Oh Jeeze Naruto no wonder the fucking guy is a mess. Why would you do that to someone you're telling not to have anything to do with anymore?"

"I was all over the place Shika! I just… I thought I was doing the right thing. I've had a lot of time to think though… Shika I really fucking love the bastard"

Shikamaru smiled. At least time in this place has given him the chance to be less of an idiot.

"Hey, what day do you get out?"

"Sunday, why?"

"Perfect. Because I think I might have an idea"

"An idea?" Naruto asked, seeing that cunning look on Shikamaru's face.

"You want to go to prom?"

To be continued.
