Hey, everyone! Thanx again for the reviews! I wasn't able to update before I left on vacation, because I left earlier than I thought I was gonna :p. But I'm updating now! I really should be studying some more for my history test though... but I know the material! Really! I listen in class! Lol. I've already studied for the better part of an hour, so I'm gonna take a break and write this! Ok, now on with the story!
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto! But if I did... grins evilly
Demon Child
He was warm. He felt so safe and warm.... He tried to open his eyes, but it was too bright, so he shut them again. Naruto didn't want to get up any way. He just wanted to stay in this nice warm bed... BEEP BEEP BEEP! What the hell was that?! Oh, it must be the alarm clock. 'Stupid alarm clock. It never shuts up and lets me sleep...' Apparently someone else had the same idea, because the warmth surrounding him shifted, and he heard a crash. The beeping then stopped, and the warmth one again encircled him. 'Ah, that's better...' Wait. The warmth was moving?
Naruto slowly turned around. Who was in his bed?! Why were they there?! 'Oh, it's just Sasuke.' He had fallen back to sleep after he stopped the alarm clock. 'Wait. SASUKE?!' Naruto was about to start ranting and telling Sasuke he was a pervert, when Sasuke pulled him closer with his arms around Naruto's waist and snuggled his face into Naruto's neck. It was just so... cute.
'Cute? Well, I suppose he is. He's so much different when he sleeps. He looks so peaceful and at ease.' Naruto had finally surrendered to his feelings. He just couldn't stop himself from liking Sasuke. Great. Now if anyone found out that he was gay, the whole town would know, and they would have yet another reason for hating him. But right now, being there with Sasuke, he didn't care. Not one bit.
Suddenly, Naruto was snapped out of his thoughts when he felt Sasuke's lips lightly brush his neck. He pulled Naruto impossibly closer, so that their bodies were aligned, and buried his face into Naruto's neck. Naruto's face immediately turned red, and the worse part was, he was getting turned on. 'SHIT! This isn't good!' Sasuke's lips once again brushed Naruto's neck, and Naruto squeaked.
Suddenly, Sasuke's eyes fluttered open. He shifted his head so that he was staring into the sky blue eyes of Naruto. He looked confused for a moment, and then comprehension dawned on him. Finally, he noticed the position they were in, and a slight blush crept onto his cheeks. He murmured something and got out of bed. He was so cute when he was flustered. Good thing he hadn't noticed Naruto's little problem, other wise Naruto would have a lot of explaining to do. Unknown to Naruto, though, Sasuke was now having the same problem.
"I'm going to make breakfast, dobe. You can go watch TV or something until it's ready," said Sasuke, who was already at the door. Then he left and headed for the kitchen. Naruto lay there until he heard Sasuke in the kitchen. He was getting up and moving towards the door, when his stomach growled loudly. He hadn't realized how hungry he was until just now. He hoped that Sasuke would hurry up and finish making breakfast.
He got to the living room and plopped down onto the couch. He grabbed the remote, switched on the TV and started looking for something to watch. He sighed. There was never anything good on in the morning. Finally, about a half an hour later, Sasuke called him and told him to come eat.
On the table Naruto saw there was an actually breakfast. He normally just made himself some ramen, but this meal consisted of pancakes, bacon, toast, waffles, and a few fruits. It looked SO good.
Naruto sat down along with Sasuke and dug in.
"Hey, Sasuke, you're a real good cook! This stuff tastes great!" said Naruto, through mouthfuls of food.
Surprisingly, Sasuke gave Naruto a small smile in response. Naruto saw this, and he felt a warm tingle spread through his body.
They finished the rest of the meal in silence, except for Naruto's noisy eating habits. When they were finished, Naruto helped clear the table, miraculously not breaking anything.
They then got dressed for school, after they decided they would leave early and stop at Naruto's house to pick him up some new clothes. They left Sasuke's house for Naruto's.
The walk didn't take long, only about 20 minutes. Not many people were out at that early hour, so it was quite uneventful.
They finally made it to Naruto's driveway, where the forest started. It was very long. He really wished it were shorter. When they emerged into the clearing that Naruto's house was in, Sasuke was momentarily stunned, but masked it quickly. It was large house, and looked quite old. Something about it, though, made a shiver run up Sasuke's spine.
Naruto just walked up to the house and went inside after unlocking it, Sasuke following a little behind.
When Sasuke stepped inside, he noticed that it wasn't welcoming at all. It wasn't decorative, there was no welcoming atmosphere, and everything was dark. Naruto went up the spiraling stairs and along the hallway to his room. Sasuke followed closer this time. They entered Naruto's room, which seemed quite bare and depressing. The walls were black, the paint slightly chipping, and there was almost no furniture except for the bed and the dresser. How could Naruto stand living in a place like this?
Naruto left Sasuke staring around his room and went to the dresser. He knew that his lifestyle was far from glamorous, but he really didn't care. It suited his mood most of the time, even though it just severed to make his mood worse. He opened it up and pulled out a new outfit. He went into the bathroom next door and changed into it, then came back out.
Sasuke looked over at him from his place on Naruto's bed. "Hey dobe, make sure you pack a spare outfit. We're gonna work on the project at my house again after school, and you can just stay the night again." Truthfully, Sasuke just didn't want Naruto to stay here. It was so depressing and, even though he didn't want to admit it, slightly scary with its dark and foreboding atmosphere.
'Wait, he's saying that he wants me to sleep over his house again?' Naruto broke out into a big smile. "Okay, sure!" He rushed back to his dresser, energy and hyper attitude restored, and pulled out more clothes. Sasuke actually wanted to spend more time with him! Even if it was only for a school project. This was great! This was the first time someone had wanted to hang out with him voluntarily, other than Iruka and Kakashi- sensei. Not to mention the fact that he had a crush on Sasuke.
'It's just, whenever I'm with him, I always feel so safe. It's the first time in years since I've felt that comfortable around some one, other than Iruka and Kakashi-sensei that is.'
As they walked out of the house, Naruto was beaming. To Sasuke, his smile light up the depressing house. He was so cute when he was like that. As they got closer and closer to school, Naruto's mood dampened. School always did this to him. He practically no happy memories here. Plus, he hated how people would always look at him like he was dirt.
Sasuke sensed Naruto's change in mood as they walked into the building. He then noticed the glares that Naruto was getting. He then got angry, and sent them all one of his coldest glares. Once they got sight of this, they immediately returned to gossiping and walking to their classes. After they went to their lockers (they were close to each other), and were about to walk to their homeroom, when Sasuke was suddenly swarmed upon by all of the girls in their grade, even some girls in younger grades. They were all trying to catch his attention and talk to him, some were even trying to give him presets that they either made themselves or bought.
Naruto felt a wave of jealousy and anger hit him. It was quite obvious that Sasuke didn't want their attention. Besides, Sasuke was his. Well, he wished he were.
He was about to yell at the stupid girls, when Sasuke rushed past him, grabbing his arm in the process, and pulled Naruto with him. Naruto almost tried to stop Sasuke, when he saw the mob of girls rushing at them, and in the lead was Sakura.
Naruto yelped and started running with Sasuke. They just made it inside their homeroom and closed the door before the wave of girls caught up to them. They were both panting, and walked unsteadily to their desks. That's when they both realized they were still holding hands. They both let got and Naruto blushed, while Sasuke just stared at the teacher coming in. Neither had yet forgotten about this morning's incident, and were unlikely to for a while.
The day progressed uneventfully, aside the occasional girl attack where they would ask Sasuke out or just outright pounced on him.
It appeared that Haru was not in school today, and for that Naruto was grateful. He didn't feel like having to face him, even though Sasuke was there with him.
Sasuke didn't leave his side once that day. It was new to Naruto, having someone to talk to during the day that didn't hate him. He just liked being with Sasuke.
It was the end of the day, everyone was getting ready to leave, and Naruto and Sasuke were walking down the hallway, when Naruto heard someone call him.
"Hey! Naruto! Hold on a minute!" It was Iruka-sensei, and he was hurrying toward them. Naruto and Sasuke both stopped and waited for the man to get to them.
"I was going to ask you if you wanted to get some ramen with Kakashi and me for supper. And if Sasuke wants, he can come as well!" Iruka said.
"RAMEN!? OF COURSE!" Naruto then looked over to Sasuke, giving him his cutest pout and puppy dog eyes. "Pwease, can we go, Sasuke?" Naruto said, tugging on the sleeve of his shirt.
Sasuke couldn't resist. It was just too cute. So he sighed and nodded his head.
"YES! THANK YOU, SASUKE!" said Naruto, who gave Sasuke a hug that squeezed out all his air on impulse. Sasuke felt happy that he had made Naruto happy, even though he had wanted to be alone with the blonde.
Iruka just smiled at the antics of the hyper and excited blonde. "Ok, just give me a few minutes, I have to get ready and tell Kakashi."
Naruto felt great. For the first time in a while, things seemed to be going his way.
Well, hoped you all liked it! I just couldn't help myself when it came to them waking up! They're just SO cute! And the situation they were in made it even better! Hee hee hee . Oh, and sorry if this chapter is a little shorter than some others are. I'm just really tired and need to get some sleep! I think I only got about five or six hours of sleep last night :p! So much to do (school, sports, dance etc.)! The next one will be longer, though! Ok, time for bed o yawns! Ja ne!
