A/N: ...isn't it OBVIOUS that I don't own Naruto?!?!?!?
Summary of last time: Naruto has run into some boy with odd red marks on his face.
The Most Beautiful Smile By Pinky-Cat
Chapter 2: Waiting for my bowl of Ramen
'What should I do?'
Asked a very beaten and hurt Naruto. He was looking at himself in the Mirror of the boy's restroom.
He looked over to an also beaten Sasuke. He seemed to be smiling, but his eyes are probably just playing tricks on him because of that BIG bruise that had formed over one of them. He looked back in the Mirror and began to recall what happened just a few minutes ago......
Naruto was sitting on the floor trembling with fear. He was just about to be hit by that guy, when Sasuke quickly jumped in front of him and got punched in his guts. Sasuke took in a sharp breath and stumbled back a few steps but caught himself again and went in fighting stance.
Naruto began to get angry, "Sasuke-no yearo always trying to make me look bad!!" With that he stood up and ran into their direction.
"No Naruto!! Stay where you are!!"
.....but Sasuke's voice didn't reach him anymore....... Naruto could already imagine how his fist would feel against the ugly red marks on the cheeks of that boy.....
... Well okay, they were beaten........ And they ran away...........
But that wasn't his biggest problem right now......IT WAS HIS FACE!!!! How should he win 'the most beautiful smile' with THAT kind of face?!?!?
Naruto turned his head halfway to Sasuke.
'I have to thank Sasuke for helping me..... Well I mean he tried.....' Naruto thought
'But....I can't get it out of my mouth!!'
'Ok I will say it in 3 Seconds....'
3....
2....
1....
0....
....
'You actually MISSED it you IDIOT!!!!' Naruto insulted himself.
Sasuke looked over to Naruto, who was looking at the ground and seemed to be struggling over something
"Naruto, are you ok?"
Naruto looked up to Sasuke and started scratching his chin.
"Well you see.... I wanted to thank you...."
....Naruto began to smile..........
"For being at my site... when they attacked me"
In Sasuke's eyes, the smiling Naruto was looking just like an Angel......
...But maybe it was only because of the sunrays which were shining through the little Window on the top of the wall behind him.....
The Smile of Naruto was one of the smiles Sasuke had seen him giving his close friends....... He was coming closer and closer so fast!!
Sasuke turned his head away, it was the perfect chance to, but it was still too early to confess...........
He took Naruto's wrist and started dragging him to the classroom saying something about 'we have to hurry'
Sasuke pulled Naruto's hand all the way down the hall, after a while he noticed Naruto's hand loosening itself. Disappointed, that Naruto seemingly didn't want to hold his hand he lowered his head slightly.
He felt Naruto tightening his hand again when he suddenly felt being dragged be Naruto. Naruto ran as fast as he could, trailing Sasuke behind him.
When they were right in front of the classroom, Sasuke stepped aside so Naruto could enter first; after all he still had to lose that bet!!
Naruto instantly pulled the door open and jumped inside the room, there were already some students but the Teacher still wasn't there
"HEHEHE Sasuke, you forgot about our bet!!!! You have to pay lunch today!!!"
Sasuke slapped his forehead in fake-disappointment
and said "I guess I have to...."
A coughing of Iruka-sensei got their attention. He was standing at the door, waiting for the two boys to step aside.
The boys stepped aside and went to the back of the classroom and took seats beside each other.
But then... The Earth started shaking and Naruto and Sasuke began to panic. Both looked at the same time in the same direction. They knew what was coming had to come. "Sasuke-kun what happened to your face?"
"Yeah, what happened to your face???"
"Has it got something to do with Naruto??"
"Can I sit next to you Sasuke-kun?"
"Don't change the subject, besides I'M sitting next to Sasuke-kun!"
"HAAA???? I'M sitting next to him!!!!"
The entire class started a big, big argument.
Sasuke stood up and pointed to Naruto "HE's sitting next to me"
.And everything got quiet..
Iruka-sensei told everyone to sit down and soon after Sasuke passed a letter to Naruto.
'So, where do you want to go? '
Naruto read it and pondered whether to answer or not to
'To ichiraku's'
Naruto passed the letter back to Sasuke
....and after a short while Sasuke passed it back
'Sounds great!'
Naruto's eyes widened and began to think about something
'Was Sasuke always that nice?? Could it be that I was too stubborn to see it? But why wasn't he ever mad at-'
Naruto's thoughts were interrupted by Sasuke, who had poked him to come out of that 'trance' and started talking to him
"We're taking photo's now, are you coming?"
Naruto looked around class, and indeed, everyone was going out the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Naruto nervously fidgeted. His photo was about to be taken. He smiled a very wide smile..................
... He cursed under his breath... But his bruised eye wouldn't open........... *FLASH* But, well it's too late now. The photo was taken....
He blinked one time...two times.......
"Hey, Uzumaki move your lazy ass from there!!"
Naruto threw a quick dirty glare to the guy who had talked to him like that. He was one of the Teachers at their school.
"Yeah, yeah.."
He stood up as slowly as possible to unnerve the guy even more. He started walking towards the door and by passing a table he saw a sheet of papers, seemingly registrations to something. He took one; they were the applications for the 'most beautiful smile'. He took another one for Sasuke.
Slowly, he made his way outside the room. Those who were already finished taking photos were allowed to go home.
He was 'U' (Uzumaki) so he was one of the last.
He closed the door behind him 'I wonder if Sasuke has just went home'
A cool blow blew through his hair and shivered.
He saw a boy at the end of the hall shivering, too
Actually the boy looked pretty handsome, leaning on a wall like this, his black bangs flowing with the wind, a black cloth holding them up.
It was..
(A/N: as if you didn't know)
Sasuke
"NARUTO!!!!" .wait.. That wasn't Sasuke's voice. He looked back to see a very enraged Iruka-sensei
"What is it Iruka-sensei?" he asked innocently turning fully to him
"I heard that you were mixed up in a brawl." he said, sounding really scary
"B-but Iruka-sensei!!! THEY knocked US around!!!!"
"Well, 5 People said the opposite so you get 2+1 hours in detention"
".And why do I get the extra 1 hour??" Naruto was having problems controlling himself
"For answering back, now follow me" Iruka turned his back to him and started walking away
Naruto looked back to Sasuke,
He was waving his hand in a manner of 'go already' Naruto gave him a disappointed-puppy look and followed the teacher
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3 hours of maths... And it was already dark outside..
Naruto couldn't even see properly anymore, everything was looking like numbers.
There was a guy to his right, who looked like many 1's and 7's, maybe even some 3's
He looked closer..
"What are you doing, usuratonkachi?!"
'HOW DARE HE.. Wait, usuratonkachi?
Sasuke waited for me!!!!!'
Naruto was starting his self invented 'Ramen-Ramen' dance, when Sasuke sighed and pulled him at his wrist out of the school entrance.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Naruto and Sasuke were walking side by side through the dark, cold roads of Konohagakure.
Dark and cold, Sasuke loved this Season.
Suddenly, Naruto ran a few steps in anticipation and started babbling something
"There, at the end of the road!! Can you see it??"
Sasuke breathed out. If it was summer, you would be thinking he was smoking. He liked it when it looked like this.
He gave a quick nod to the twittering Blonde as he looked at the stall he was talking about.
Naruto didn't want to wait any longer for his Ramen, so he took Sasuke's hand and ran to the stall trailing Sasuke behind him.
In a blink of an eye Naruto was already sitting in one of the big stools and talking to the man at the stall.
Sasuke sighed and sat down beside him. He was sighing a lot lately. He looked at all the sorts and prices of Ramen at the Poster that was attached to the wall behind the man.
"Hey, Naruto did you finally get a good friend?"
"Yes, I think so. He treats me to Ramen tonight"
Sasuke managed to hear. A little smile crept to his face but he pretended he didn't listen.
He turned to Naruto and saw how Naruto was smiling back to him. For one moment Sasuke was in pure bliss before talking to the man,
"I'll have the chicken flavoured," He turned his head to Naruto again "Which one do you want?"
Naruto scratched his chin for a moment before answering
"I think I'm gonna go veggie tonight, I'll take the Miso Ramen!" "Coming" . . . "Why did you wait?"
Naruto blurted out. He was staring straight into the air, his eyes slightly narrowed seemingly deep in thought
Sasuke said the only thing that came to his mind that moment
"Huh?"
"Aren't your Parents worried for coming home this late?"
Sasuke hesitated a moment before answering him bitterly "Nope, I don't have any parents"
Naruto's eyes widened but he kept his head in place. 'How can he say that this easily?'
Sasuke blinked a few times to prevent himself from crying from the memory of his parents before turning his head to Naruto and asking
"What about you? Aren't your parents worried?"
At last Naruto too turned his head to Sasuke, Sorrow and Understanding clearly written down his face. 'He's the same as me so it would be no problem telling him.'
"You may not believe it, but I don't have any Parents either, but every now and then Iruka-sensei takes me out to Ramen but other than that.."
"Iruka-sensei?!?!? You don't by any chance mean Umino Iruka-sensei, do you?!?!?" Sasuke leaned forward, looking interested
"Yes, the one and only" Naruto replied slightly proud
The Oji-san of the Ramen stall had finished making the Ramen and placed two big bowls of it in front of them
"Chicken and Miso, right?"
The two boys nodded and started eating their Ramen.
No one uttered a word. Only the loud slurping of Naruto was heard.
But what was odd was that... It didn't feel uncomfortable; it felt like they saw each other from a completely different angle. It felt like they had finally found someone who understood them.
After finishing the Ramen, Naruto looked over to Sasuke as if saying 'What's-next?'
Sasuke inwardly smiled and after paying, he told him "I'll take you home"
Again, they walked through the cold roads of Konoha. When they reached Naruto's house, he pulled out his key and opened the door. Turning to Sasuke he asked "Wanna come in?"
Sasuke slowly shook his head and answered "No, thanks"
Naruto stared blankly ahead at which happened to be Sasuke's chest.
He whispered a quick "thank you, Sasuke" before hugging him tightly. "I never thought you'd really wait for me" He said still hugging him
Everything happened so quickly, one moment Naruto was in Sasuke's arms, the other he was already inside his house waving Sasuke a sad Goodbye before closing the door slowly, careful not to wake the neighbor's.
Sasuke blinked a few times before turning away and start walking into a different direction.
He stopped for a short term to look at the sky
'Let's call it a day'
