Right Kind of Wrong
By: Chibi Shi-Chan
Author's Comments: Thank you everyone who sent me such nice reviews and emails about my situation and the whole having to start over thing. I didn't really think the fic disappearing would effect so many people but... I guess it did. Well, here I am, with another chapter. I'll get to where I left off eventually.
When it gets too bad though everyone will have to read it at the site that's on my profile, because I won't post anything that's close to a lemon here anymore.
For anyone who has, or hasn't read this story before, I have to give a warning for this chapter. As much as I love Sasuke and Naruto, this part has... Sasuke and Sakura... but but but but but! Don't worry! I would never have my Naruto be without his Sasuke for long, it's just to work with the song I swear! Please don't kill me...
Sasuke is sort of a bastard in this chapter too... also, other couples are hinted at, um, o.k. I'm just going to be quiet and write the fic. Also, if I haven't done so before (I can't remember) then I have to give credit to LeAnn Rimes (is that how her name is spelled?) for the song, because this is where the song starts. Hope everyone enjoys this next part... or... enjoys it all over again.
/song lyrics/
Beginning Words:
Sasuke, Naruto had to admit, was a pretty interesting person. It had been weeks since he had moved in with the other boy, and he had to say that Uchiha Sasuke was very... intriguing. He was a couple of months older then Naruto, having already turned 18 a couple of weeks ago while Naruto had to wait a few more months. He seemed to love black, a lot. Most, if not all, of his clothes were black with the occasional hint of something blue. He seemed to have a thing for shopping at Hot Topic, because Naruto could swear he had seen all of Sasuke's clothes in that store.
He was constantly listening to Linkin Park, the loud angry songs and sometimes the soft, angsty songs. He seemed like that kid next door who hated their parents and life in general, but he never said anything about it, he just blasted his music to let the rock bands say it. His entire side of the room was dark, even with the lights on, filled with melodramatic posters about one thing or the other.
All and all, Naruto thought that Sasuke was pretty cool. He didn't say anything about his side of the room being decorated with various anime characters, most from the fighting variety. He didn't seem to care about the amount of books Naruto had, in fact he swore that Sasuke would pick up a stray manga or fantasy novel and just start reading it without saying a word. He didn't mind Naruto's method of stress relief, pounding the shit out of Inferno, Cervantes, or any other characters he hated from Soul Caliber 2, or shooting up zombies in Resident Evil. At times Sasuke would just watch him play, but he never played himself even if Naruto asked him.
They seemed to have a silent system going with their room, you mess it up you clean it up. They actually split the bill on groceries, which usually just consisted of the college student diet of ramen and easy mac. Naruto was the one who drank all the caffeine, Sasuke usually drank water or juice. They didn't have two of everything, Sasuke already had a refrigerator and microwave in the room and told Naruto's parents when they brought his in to take it back, because it would only take up space. Naruto spent the most money on food because he always needed something sweet, like pocky or ice cream, anything that had sugar in it. Sasuke had called it a waste of time... but every now and then he'd ask the other boy for a stick of pocky.
At times, they'd watch movies together when they could agree on something. And sometimes Sasuke would be nice and watch an anime or two with Naruto, which usually took place at Naruto's computer since he got the series that came fresh from Japan. He was still waiting on episode 80 of one series. Thankfully, Sasuke was an art major, another 'creative body' as Iruka had put it all those weeks ago before Naruto left. They both would just listen to music, usually Sasuke's selection, and one would draw and the other would write. It was again, a silent rule they had established, the times they would study and tune out the rest of the world. Neither really cared about their other classes, but both did fairly well in them. It was in Sasuke's nature to be good at everything, and Naruto just had something to prove.
All and all it was a good relationship, and Naruto even dared to call Sasuke a friend. It was the first one he ever had so he was pretty happy about it. Actually, according to Sakura, she was Naruto's friend too. That meant she could come over and 'visit' him, which consisted of her watching Sasuke.
It was on one night when Sakura was over that really started everything.
Sasuke was lying in his bed, sketching like he usually did, but to his surprise Naruto was lying in his own bed sketching too. He had heard the boy say he was taking an art class, but he didn't seem to be doing too much work in it. It was probably one of the lower level classes, not the one Sasuke was taking that was specifically for art majors. Sakura was sitting on the floor, working on some kind of math that the other two boys had, but she was doing it for a major and they were doing it for a requirement from the school.
Sasuke looked over and watched Naruto sketch, and curiosity had got the better of him.
"Naruto?" Naruto looked over at him in question. "What are you sketching?"
"Huh? Oh... some random thing, I don't know..."
"But it would never be as good as yours, Sasuke." Sakura had popped her head in the conversation, hearts dancing in her eyes from looking at Sasuke. Naruto just rolled his eyes a bit, this was the only consequence of having Sasuke for a roommate. He didn't mind Sakura over, since he guessed he still sort of liked her, but all of her attention was on Sasuke. For a girl he was sort of supposed to like, that part didn't bug him as much.
The fact that someone was looking at Sasuke...
"Can I see it, Naruto?"
"Oh... o.k...." Naruto moved out of his bed and over to Sasuke's, handing him his sketchpad. "It's really crappy, like Sakura said..." Naruto's voice trailed off as he watched Sasuke look at his picture, then he flipped back and began to look at all the pictures. "Sasuke?"
"These are pretty good." Sasuke stopped at one picture then looked up at Naruto. Before Naruto could figure out what was going on Sasuke was trailing one of his fingers over the self-drawn whiskers. "This character you drew, that's where the whiskers come from right?"
"Oh! Um..." Naruto fought the urge to blush. "... ye-yeah... I had read about him... so I drew what I thought he looked like..."
"Everyone has something inside of them, they just don't know it yet." Sasuke read out loud the writing that was on the picture. Behind them, Sakura laughed a bit, she remembered Naruto saying that in class. What a stupid... "That's kind of cool." ... Sakura's laughter died down right away.
"You... think so?" That was the first time someone else besides Iruka had said that.
"Yeah."
"I always thought so too. When I saw the whiskers on his face I knew it went along with that picture." Sakura scooted closer to them, rather, closer to Sasuke so she could look at the picture. "Wow, it really is pretty good... I still like your art better, Sasuke."
"Thank you." Sasuke looked up at Naruto again, handing him back his sketchpad as his mind decided to ignore Sakura. "You should join my class, your work is good."
"Join? But... I thought it was for art majors..."
"Don't worry about it. If you come with me tomorrow I can get you in. Even if writing is your thing this shouldn't go to waste." Naruto did blush this time, Sasuke was actually complimenting him and it was making his heart do somersaults.
"Th-thank you... Sasuke..." Sasuke simply nodded and went back to sketching in his own sketchbook. "Um... can I see what you're drawing?"
"No." Naruto winced. That hardly seemed fair but... he didn't expect Sasuke to actually say yes. "It's... not finished yet. When it's finished then you can see it."
"Oh." Naruto smiled, clutching onto his own sketchpad tightly. "O.K." And with that he went back to his side of the room to continue his drawing.
Then, the song began.
/know all about
about your reputation/
Walking to class with Sasuke was a new experience for him. They never got to do it since their schedules were so different. They had no classes together, even if they were taking the same required for graduation classes they both had different sections. This was usually a free period for Naruto, but, he had to admit that he'd sacrifice the free time to walk with Sasuke.
He had admitted, that first time he had saw Sasuke at the door, that his roommate was pretty hot. But, he still liked Sakura... at least he thought he did.
The two walked together, and Naruto could hear the mutterings of the students. Even if only weeks had gone by Sasuke seemed to have quite the reputation. Quiet, dark, mysterious, he scared half the campus and turned on the other half. He felt like an idiot walking with Sasuke. They were probably wondering what an idiot like him was doing walking with perfect boy Sasuke.
Sasuke might've looked like a punk rocker, but his grades were always on top. Naruto did well enough, but Sasuke excelled at everything and wore the 'Oh wow I got an A who gives a shit' look, which made him even cooler to the half of students who weren't scared of him. It didn't help that Sasuke was basically the poster boy of sex and Hot Topic, today even going so far as to wear a spiked collar. Naruto still looked like the kid who sat in the back of the class with a hooded shirt that matched his eyes in color which was littered with airbrushed anime characters and dark jeans.
They couldn't have gotten to the classroom fast enough. He thought it was bad in high school with the whispers, but having a cool friend in college just made him look ever more pathetic. Sasuke walked in first, going to the very back. Naruto just stood at the door, looking around at all the students in the class. There weren't very many, but there were enough to make him feel a bit uncomfortable. They were all sitting at stools and Naruto was kind of surprised to see the big sketchpads that were set up by their stools. Sasuke was pulling his out, obviously ready to start drawing. Naruto looked more then a little embarrassed, and here he was with this tiny, tiny sketchpad that was less than half the size of all of theirs. Well, it was a class for art majors...
"May I help you?" Naruto jumped a bit when he heard the professor's voice.
"Um... n-no... I... I think I have the wrong class..."
"He's with me, Kakashi." Everyone turned to look at Sasuke, then back up at Naruto. "I asked him to come. Just look at his sketchpad and you'll see why."
"Really?" Kakashi... Sasuke had called him Kakashi... no professor title? He did hear that in college some professors let you call them by their name. His English professor sure didn't do that. "Well, let me see it... what is your name?"
"Oh... um... Naruto." Naruto handed him the sketchpad. "They aren't very good..."
"Well if it's like the art on your shirt, then I'd have to call you a liar." Kakashi flipped through the sketchpad, and Naruto could feel everyone watching him.
They were muttering again.
"Hm, well Naruto, are you an art major?"
"No... I-I'm an English major. I want to be a writer..."
"Is that so?" Kakashi looked through more of the pictures. "I can see why, your pictures seem to tell a story." He looked up at Naruto, his eyes, or rather, his one eye took in the whiskers on his face. Naruto wasn't going to ask him why he had something covering his other eye... "Whiskers?"
"Um... it... it's just something silly I did..."
"... by silly you mean creative?" Naruto looked a bit surprised. Someone actually thought they were creative? "You know, I think we have room for one more person here. But you seriously might want to consider doing art as a minor, or double major. Your drawing isn't perfect, but it's the best 'hobby' I've seen someone have in a long time." Naruto gave an embarrassed smile and nodded. "I'll even give you a sketchpad."
"Give? No... I couldn't..."
"I have extra, it's o.k. It's just something to get you started but you'll probably run out of paper fast since it isn't as big as the other students. You can sit in the back with Sasuke."
"Thank you very much." Naruto took the sketchpad along with his old one and went to sit down with Sasuke, who was only giving him a knowing look. Something along the lines of 'I told you so.' Sasuke actually wore that look a lot.
After that Kakashi began teaching, which didn't really feel like teaching. How could it be teaching when he said things like, "Draw whatever your heart tells you to." Naruto looked all around to see the students already sketching, Kakashi looking at all of their pictures and making comments. He noticed that this sketchpad Sasuke used was different from the one he used back in the dorm The one there was much smaller, and he remembered Sasuke saying something about it being a practice pad. Naruto watched Sasuke draw, seeming to get absorbed into it. Sasuke's drawings seemed to be perfect, they all looked so real.
"You might want to draw something too." Sasuke pointed out, not even looking up at Naruto. Naruto quickly nodded and began drawing. He didn't really know what he was drawing, he just sort of let the pencil move on it's own accord.
Draw whatever your heart tells you.
"Interesting." Naruto jumped in surprise. He was so wrapped up in his drawing that he hadn't noticed how much time had gone by. Kakashi had already gone through all the other students, now it was Naruto's turn. "So, the flames are coming out and surrounding him?"
"Huh?" Naruto hadn't even realized what he drew. It was almost as if he had zoned out.
"That's what it looks like to me." Sasuke looked over at Naruto's picture, smirking a bit. Naruto looked back at Sasuke, then at the picture, then his entire face turned red.
He had drawn Sasuke!
Sasuke was staring right back at him through the picture, with those intense eyes of his. He was wearing the exact outfit he had met him in, he was able to draw it from memory alone. And those flames... the tattoo had always mesmerized him... only now he had the tattoo come to life in the picture. The flames were coming off of his arm and surrounding him, as if he controlled him. Where the hell did that idea come from?
"Very impressive for a first try, you did that all from memory too. Just a few mistakes."
"Yeah... I suck at hands and feet..."
"Trust me, everyone does." Kakashi glanced over at Sasuke. "You mind helping him?"
"Not at all." Kakashi nodded and went back to his desk, leaving the two of them alone. Sasuke slid off of his stool, standing behind Naruto and looking at the picture over his shoulder. Naruto just sat perfectly still, not even daring to make a move. Here he was, the first day in a new class and he draws a picture of his roommate of all people. Couldn't he had been normal and drawn an apple or something? Even if Kakashi had said to draw what his heart told him didn't mean he had to go and do it!
But shouldn't he had drawn Sakura if that were the case?
"Here." Sasuke reached around Naruto and grabbed his hand, moving it over to the drawing. "Hands and feet do suck to draw, but, once you get the hang of it it's not that bad." Naruto watched Sasuke move his hand for him, teaching him how to draw it the right way. He wondered how long Sasuke had been practicing, it had to be a long time if Kakashi trusted him to show Naruto what to do. "But you seem to have everything else done well. You even got my hair right, and I know hair like that has to be a bitch to draw."
"Um... well not really..." Sasuke was awfully close to him, and it was getting harder to breathe. Just teaching, Naruto, that's all he was doing. "I mean... I-I usually draw anime characters and they have interesting hairstyles so..."
"So, are you going to write a little story to this picture?" Was he whispering in his ear? He could feel his breath against his ear, and he could swear he felt... lips...
"I-I don't know... if... if I think of something..." Naruto decided to look away from the picture, to have Sasuke staring at him from the picture then to feel his hand around his in real life...
... but when he looked away from the picture his eyes met with a pair of almost glaring green eyes. Naruto jumped a bit in surprise. Sitting a couple of seats ahead of them was a young man with shaggy, short red hair. It looked like he had mascara around his eyes, and he seemed to have the same taste in clothes that Sasuke did only he seemed to like fishnet style shirts. He seemed to have something written above his eye, on his forehead, but Naruto couldn't make out what it was. And for some reason he was glaring at them. Sasuke caught sight of the person and just grinned, wrapping his free arm around Naruto's waist and pulling him closer.
Naruto blushed harder, and the mysterious boy actually seemed to growl angrily. Who was he?
"We use to date, in high school." Sasuke whispered in Naruto's ear. "It didn't work out very well."
"We-well... he... still seems to like you..." He was glaring at them hard enough for their skin to be burned alive.
"Does he?" Sasuke grinned at the boy ahead of them and moved his hand, very slowly slipping it inside of Naruto's shirt. Naruto squeaked in surprise, his eyes shooting up to the teacher. Why wasn't he stopping...
... what the hell kind of book was he reading!
"Gaara is very... complicated..."
"Sasuke... yo-your hand..."
"Yes?" Sasuke's fingers trailed down Naruto's chest and to his stomach, one of them lightly circling around his bellybutton. "Calm down, I'm just having fun with him."
"Th-that's fine and all, but..." Just having fun? Didn't he know that he was driving Naruto crazy! His roommate was sadistic!
"Now, now boys, play nice." Kakashi had finally stepped in, only, he was still sitting at his desk reading his book. Gaara fixed the two of them with one more glare before he began sketching again.
And Sasuke pulled back and sat down in his own seat, sketching as if he did nothing at all. Naruto just sat there, trying to calm down after...
"Stay away from him." For the millionth time in that classroom Naruto felt his heart stop. He turned to see, Sasuke had said his name was Gaara, standing next to him. When did he...
"Gaara, nice to see you again." Sasuke's voice was dripping with sarcasm.
"Same to you." Gaara fixed his gaze on Naruto. "Stay away from him, for your own good." Huh? Didn't Sasuke just say that Gaara was the bad one? No... he had said complicated... but didn't that mean Gaara was the one who...
"Gaara, don't scare the new kid, leave him alone." Kakashi's focus was still on that damn book! What kind of class had he stepped into? The teacher was reading porn, his roommate had just dragged him into some sort of lover's quarrel... at least Gaara had returned to his seat, but his eyes were still trained on Naruto.
Stay away... Naruto looked at his picture again, frowning a bit. How could he stay away now, when he was already in too deep?
/and how it's bound to be a heartbreak situation/
Despite the drama, Naruto decided to add the class. He wasn't sure if he'd make art a minor or another major, but he knew that he did enjoy drawing. And Kakashi had said his pictures seemed to tell a story, and since he wanted to be a writer that was the ultimate compliment. Him and Sasuke had to split up after class was done, which was too bad because he had wanted to try and talk to him more. As roommates they talked, but it was basic roommate conversations. How was class? What are you doing tonight? What do you want to eat? Things like that. But this art class... it seemed to be getting them a bit closer. Sasuke had told him something personal about himself. He had a boyfriend in high school.
That meant he liked guys! Not that... Naruto cared or... anything...
All he knew about Sasuke up to today was that he had an older brother, who he didn't seem to like to talk about.
Using the art class to be around Sasuke more was kind of stupid, but, at the same time he was using it for himself. Why not get a grade for something he liked?
And... it got him around Sasuke more... and it let him see him as something more than a roommate. Not that... he liked Sasuke or any... thing...
Oh who was he kidding!
Naruto was practically beaming by now. He couldn't wait to go back to his room and tell Sasuke the good news about getting into the class. The rest of his classes dragged on, being much longer then humanly possible. And today was his late class day, the day where he didn't get back to his room until dark. Damn English class being offered only at night. While he had no problem with staying in class all night writing, tonight he just wanted to go back home and tell Sasuke that he would be in his class officially.
An eternity later, he was finally free. Naruto all but ran back to his room. The distance between class and home seemed ten million times longer, but somehow he made it back. Fumbling with his keys Naruto unlocked the door and somehow refrained himself from throwing it open. He wanted to show some sort of control.
The first thing Naruto noticed was how dark the room was. The lights were off, and the only thing he could see was the red letters of the digital clock. It wasn't that late at night, did Sasuke have an early class tomorrow? Even so, nine-thirty was still an early time to go to bed.
"Sasuke..." Naruto's eyes widened. That was... Sakura's voice... "Oh gods, Sasuke..." Naruto took a step back, hitting the wall but he didn't seem to notice. All he could do was stare at Sasuke's bed. His eyes had finally adjusted to the darkness enough to make out the movement going on underneath Sasuke's covers.
Sasuke and... Sakura? But he always ignored her, why would he...
Naruto shook his head, he didn't want to believe it. But... he could hear it, hear it all. Hear her cries, hear pleas for more, and the occasional grunts of pleasure from Sasuke.
Stay away from him. Gaara's words came back to him full force. Stay away...
Naruto made his way over to his own bed and curled up in it, facing the wall and not Sasuke's bed like he usually would. He'd watch him sleeping sometimes, listen to the light snores...
... he curled up more when he heard a particularly loud cry from Sakura. Sakura... it was her he had the crush on, right? What a joke, it wasn't her he had the crush on. He knew now, from the way his heart ached from the sounds she made. It wasn't because he wanted to cause those sounds...
... it was because he wanted to be making those sounds, because of Sasuke. It should've been him... at least Sasuke paid some attention to him...
Stay away... Gaara had been right. He should've known that from the way Sasuke was acting. Just messing with Gaara at Naruto's expense. Didn't he know what that had done to him? Didn't he know how much he liked him? How much he wanted to be the one he was kissing, he was touching, he was making love to? Naruto curled up under the covers, tuning out the two of them. He couldn't let this get to him. He had better things to worry over, not some stupid roommate having sex with a girl from his high school who he use to like. He needed to devote his time to school, to prove everyone back at home wrong. That was why he was here right? He wasn't here to fall for some stupid boy he was going to be living with for months.
"How long have you been in here?" Naruto winced when he heard that voice. How much time had passed? Naruto sat up from under the covers and looked up to see Sakura slipping on her bra and panties, a dreamy look on her face. Naruto looked away, even if Sasuke didn't seem to care that he was in the room.
"Gods, what a pervert." Sakura was buttoning up her shirt, her jeans having already been slipped on. "He was probably listening to us."
"It's my room, you know, I don't have anywhere else to go this late at night." But Naruto had been listening for a while, until it became too much for him. He didn't want to know anymore, about what Sasuke had been doing with her.
"Well, whatever." Sakura draped her arms around Sasuke, positively glowing. "See you tomorrow, Sasuke." She kissed his lips, so wrapped up in the kiss that she didn't even see the bored look on Sasuke's face.
But Naruto did.
Sakura left their room, and as soon as they did Sasuke gave a long sigh and plopped down in his bed.
"That's the end of that."
"What?" What was he talking about?
"I gave her what she wanted, now maybe she'll leave me alone."
"What!" Naruto looked absolutely horrified. Is that why he did that? Was it that easy for him to... do something like that? "But... Sakura likes you..."
"No, she thinks she likes me. She doesn't know anything about me, she just knows that she likes what she sees and she wouldn't leave me alone until she got it."
"How could you say something like that?"
"Why do you care? You should be happy."
"Happy?" Why would he be happy? He had hurt Sakura, or rather, he was going to hurt her by blowing her off later when she came back. She might not have been very nice to him, but he would never be happy about her being hurt. That was just cruel!
"Yes, happy. Because now she'll leave me alone, and now I'm all yours." Sasuke smirked at him, and Naruto found himself blushing. "I mean, you want me right?"
"Ye-yes... I mean no, no! Not like that, not just for that but... but I want to get to know you..."
"Oh please." Sasuke stood up, approaching Naruto wearing the same smirk. Naruto backed away from him, his back hitting the door when he backed up too far. Sasuke seemed to smirk more, placing his hands on both sides of Naruto's head, trapping him there. "I know you want me, I can see it in the way you look at me." Sasuke's eyes roamed over Naruto's body, causing Naruto to shiver from just the look in his eyes. "You always hide in these baggy clothes, you shouldn't." Sasuke moved one hand down, very slowly lifting up the hooded sweatshirt Naruto wore. Naruto's eyes widened as inch after inch of his body was revealed to Sasuke. "Mmmm, very nice, has anyone ever told you that before?"
"N-no..." Naruto gasped softly when he felt fingers playing around his bellybutton again, like earlier in the classroom.
"Really? You've never been touched, have you? You're a virgin, aren't you?" Naruto only blushed even more, trying not to respond but Sasuke had started moving his fingers over the obvious bulge in his pants. "That makes it even better."
He didn't want this, not this way. He wasn't lying when he said that he wanted to get to know Sasuke better. He didn't want what Sasuke said Sakura wanted, he wanted more than that. But Sasuke didn't seem to want to give that...
... maybe that's why... him and Gaara broke up... but Gaara didn't seem like the type to want love either. It was just the look in his eyes...
But Naruto wanted more, no matter how excited his body was he wanted something deeper then that. No one had cared about him before, even if he was use to it didn't mean he wanted it. He wanted someone to care...
"Sasuke... stop..."
"Stop?" Sasuke sounded amused. "You mean you don't want this?" Sasuke moved his hand back, his hand passing over Naruto's ass, a finger circling around his jean covered entrance. Naruto made a soft sound that was between protest and pleasure, causing Sasuke to smirk again. "I promise to make it feel good, Naruto."
"N-no... I don't... I don't want..." He didn't want it to happen and then for Sasuke to push him away like he did with Sakura. He didn't want to be pushed away, he'd been pushed away all his life he didn't want that. Not again.
"Shhhh..." Sasuke brought his lips close, close enough to kiss. "Just let me kiss you, and I promise you won't be protesting anymore."
"No!" Naruto pushed him away, hard, causing Sasuke to stumble back. Naruto had tears in his eyes, but he refused to let them fall. "I don't want to do that with you! Not if you're just going to push me away like I mean nothing. I already mean nothing to everyone else, I won't mean nothing to you too!" And with those words, Naruto left the room. He wasn't sure where he was going to go, but he knew that it would be away from Sasuke.
He didn't get to see the surprised look on Sasuke's face, and mixed in with that surprise was actually another look.
A look of regret.
But the song continues on.

Author's Comments (long rant, sorry in advance): Sasuke and Gaara, um, yeah that relationship will be explained later. Not sure when, but I promise it will be. Sasuke and Sakura, yep, just a one time thing. And yeah I know Sasuke is kind of cold in this chapter but it will be fixed, this is a Sasuke and Naruto fic after all so they have to get together sometime, because I said so. Also, other characters will be in this story, it mentioned that Sasuke has a brother so you guessed it, Itachi will be making an appearance. Not revealing anyone else, gotta keep some secrets Like I said, I haven't seen much of the series but I know the characters, not all of them but I know quite a few.
I do hope my characters are still in character, I know Naruto is basically... um... I don't want to say stupid but from what I've seen and heard he's like Yusuke from Yu Yu Hakusho only worse. But I have seen him with a serious side, and I have seen him emotional so those qualities are in this fic, probably more then the whole stupid Naruto one is. But, it'll still be around Sasuke, from what I've seen and heard, is kind of an asshole sometimes. He's consumed with one thought only, so in this fic, especially this chapter, he's an asshole. But don't worry, I love Sasuke, so he'll learn. And Sakura, yeah I know she's kind of a bitch but I know for a fact that in the episodes I've seen and manga I've read she didn't like Naruto too much at all, if at all, and is constantly seeking Sasuke's approval. I know later she probably does get better so, she might grow in the fic.
As for their classes and such, that is totally a college girl author talking. Naruto has the same major as me, but even so there are a certain amount of credits you need in other classes like math and science and such, so the required classes I keep talking about are those. As for the art class, I'd love to take one but the cool ones are usually for the majors or are closed already, so I gave Naruto a break and let it slide. I gave Naruto another break, because at my school the writing classes are rarely open to freshmen, I took the required English class and couldn't even take the writing class I wanted the next semester because it was for sophomores and higher. That seems to be the case in a lot of classes I think so I guess I gave Sasuke a break too.
And Kakashi, yeah I've found that in a lot of my classes, being an English major, we rarely call our teachers professor such and such, we just use their names. And yes, Kakashi still has his eye covered and the book, because he wouldn't be Kakashi without the damn book
Hope you all enjoyed this chapter, even if it was pretty angsty. Sorry for the long rambling at the end, I will try not to do it again.

For anyone who has, or hasn't read this story before, I have to give a warning for this chapter. As much as I love Sasuke and Naruto, this part has... Sasuke and Sakura... but but but but but! Don't worry! I would never have my Naruto be without his Sasuke for long, it's just to work with the song I swear! Please don't kill me...
Sasuke is sort of a bastard in this chapter too... also, other couples are hinted at, um, o.k. I'm just going to be quiet and write the fic. Also, if I haven't done so before (I can't remember) then I have to give credit to LeAnn Rimes (is that how her name is spelled?) for the song, because this is where the song starts. Hope everyone enjoys this next part... or... enjoys it all over again.

Beginning Words:
Sasuke, Naruto had to admit, was a pretty interesting person. It had been weeks since he had moved in with the other boy, and he had to say that Uchiha Sasuke was very... intriguing. He was a couple of months older then Naruto, having already turned 18 a couple of weeks ago while Naruto had to wait a few more months. He seemed to love black, a lot. Most, if not all, of his clothes were black with the occasional hint of something blue. He seemed to have a thing for shopping at Hot Topic, because Naruto could swear he had seen all of Sasuke's clothes in that store.
He was constantly listening to Linkin Park, the loud angry songs and sometimes the soft, angsty songs. He seemed like that kid next door who hated their parents and life in general, but he never said anything about it, he just blasted his music to let the rock bands say it. His entire side of the room was dark, even with the lights on, filled with melodramatic posters about one thing or the other.
All and all, Naruto thought that Sasuke was pretty cool. He didn't say anything about his side of the room being decorated with various anime characters, most from the fighting variety. He didn't seem to care about the amount of books Naruto had, in fact he swore that Sasuke would pick up a stray manga or fantasy novel and just start reading it without saying a word. He didn't mind Naruto's method of stress relief, pounding the shit out of Inferno, Cervantes, or any other characters he hated from Soul Caliber 2, or shooting up zombies in Resident Evil. At times Sasuke would just watch him play, but he never played himself even if Naruto asked him.
They seemed to have a silent system going with their room, you mess it up you clean it up. They actually split the bill on groceries, which usually just consisted of the college student diet of ramen and easy mac. Naruto was the one who drank all the caffeine, Sasuke usually drank water or juice. They didn't have two of everything, Sasuke already had a refrigerator and microwave in the room and told Naruto's parents when they brought his in to take it back, because it would only take up space. Naruto spent the most money on food because he always needed something sweet, like pocky or ice cream, anything that had sugar in it. Sasuke had called it a waste of time... but every now and then he'd ask the other boy for a stick of pocky.
At times, they'd watch movies together when they could agree on something. And sometimes Sasuke would be nice and watch an anime or two with Naruto, which usually took place at Naruto's computer since he got the series that came fresh from Japan. He was still waiting on episode 80 of one series. Thankfully, Sasuke was an art major, another 'creative body' as Iruka had put it all those weeks ago before Naruto left. They both would just listen to music, usually Sasuke's selection, and one would draw and the other would write. It was again, a silent rule they had established, the times they would study and tune out the rest of the world. Neither really cared about their other classes, but both did fairly well in them. It was in Sasuke's nature to be good at everything, and Naruto just had something to prove.
All and all it was a good relationship, and Naruto even dared to call Sasuke a friend. It was the first one he ever had so he was pretty happy about it. Actually, according to Sakura, she was Naruto's friend too. That meant she could come over and 'visit' him, which consisted of her watching Sasuke.
It was on one night when Sakura was over that really started everything.
Sasuke was lying in his bed, sketching like he usually did, but to his surprise Naruto was lying in his own bed sketching too. He had heard the boy say he was taking an art class, but he didn't seem to be doing too much work in it. It was probably one of the lower level classes, not the one Sasuke was taking that was specifically for art majors. Sakura was sitting on the floor, working on some kind of math that the other two boys had, but she was doing it for a major and they were doing it for a requirement from the school.
Sasuke looked over and watched Naruto sketch, and curiosity had got the better of him.
"Naruto?" Naruto looked over at him in question. "What are you sketching?"
"Huh? Oh... some random thing, I don't know..."
"But it would never be as good as yours, Sasuke." Sakura had popped her head in the conversation, hearts dancing in her eyes from looking at Sasuke. Naruto just rolled his eyes a bit, this was the only consequence of having Sasuke for a roommate. He didn't mind Sakura over, since he guessed he still sort of liked her, but all of her attention was on Sasuke. For a girl he was sort of supposed to like, that part didn't bug him as much.
The fact that someone was looking at Sasuke...
"Can I see it, Naruto?"
"Oh... o.k...." Naruto moved out of his bed and over to Sasuke's, handing him his sketchpad. "It's really crappy, like Sakura said..." Naruto's voice trailed off as he watched Sasuke look at his picture, then he flipped back and began to look at all the pictures. "Sasuke?"
"These are pretty good." Sasuke stopped at one picture then looked up at Naruto. Before Naruto could figure out what was going on Sasuke was trailing one of his fingers over the self-drawn whiskers. "This character you drew, that's where the whiskers come from right?"
"Oh! Um..." Naruto fought the urge to blush. "... ye-yeah... I had read about him... so I drew what I thought he looked like..."
"Everyone has something inside of them, they just don't know it yet." Sasuke read out loud the writing that was on the picture. Behind them, Sakura laughed a bit, she remembered Naruto saying that in class. What a stupid... "That's kind of cool." ... Sakura's laughter died down right away.
"You... think so?" That was the first time someone else besides Iruka had said that.
"Yeah."
"I always thought so too. When I saw the whiskers on his face I knew it went along with that picture." Sakura scooted closer to them, rather, closer to Sasuke so she could look at the picture. "Wow, it really is pretty good... I still like your art better, Sasuke."
"Thank you." Sasuke looked up at Naruto again, handing him back his sketchpad as his mind decided to ignore Sakura. "You should join my class, your work is good."
"Join? But... I thought it was for art majors..."
"Don't worry about it. If you come with me tomorrow I can get you in. Even if writing is your thing this shouldn't go to waste." Naruto did blush this time, Sasuke was actually complimenting him and it was making his heart do somersaults.
"Th-thank you... Sasuke..." Sasuke simply nodded and went back to sketching in his own sketchbook. "Um... can I see what you're drawing?"
"No." Naruto winced. That hardly seemed fair but... he didn't expect Sasuke to actually say yes. "It's... not finished yet. When it's finished then you can see it."
"Oh." Naruto smiled, clutching onto his own sketchpad tightly. "O.K." And with that he went back to his side of the room to continue his drawing.
Then, the song began.
/know all about
about your reputation/
Walking to class with Sasuke was a new experience for him. They never got to do it since their schedules were so different. They had no classes together, even if they were taking the same required for graduation classes they both had different sections. This was usually a free period for Naruto, but, he had to admit that he'd sacrifice the free time to walk with Sasuke.
He had admitted, that first time he had saw Sasuke at the door, that his roommate was pretty hot. But, he still liked Sakura... at least he thought he did.
The two walked together, and Naruto could hear the mutterings of the students. Even if only weeks had gone by Sasuke seemed to have quite the reputation. Quiet, dark, mysterious, he scared half the campus and turned on the other half. He felt like an idiot walking with Sasuke. They were probably wondering what an idiot like him was doing walking with perfect boy Sasuke.
Sasuke might've looked like a punk rocker, but his grades were always on top. Naruto did well enough, but Sasuke excelled at everything and wore the 'Oh wow I got an A who gives a shit' look, which made him even cooler to the half of students who weren't scared of him. It didn't help that Sasuke was basically the poster boy of sex and Hot Topic, today even going so far as to wear a spiked collar. Naruto still looked like the kid who sat in the back of the class with a hooded shirt that matched his eyes in color which was littered with airbrushed anime characters and dark jeans.
They couldn't have gotten to the classroom fast enough. He thought it was bad in high school with the whispers, but having a cool friend in college just made him look ever more pathetic. Sasuke walked in first, going to the very back. Naruto just stood at the door, looking around at all the students in the class. There weren't very many, but there were enough to make him feel a bit uncomfortable. They were all sitting at stools and Naruto was kind of surprised to see the big sketchpads that were set up by their stools. Sasuke was pulling his out, obviously ready to start drawing. Naruto looked more then a little embarrassed, and here he was with this tiny, tiny sketchpad that was less than half the size of all of theirs. Well, it was a class for art majors...
"May I help you?" Naruto jumped a bit when he heard the professor's voice.
"Um... n-no... I... I think I have the wrong class..."
"He's with me, Kakashi." Everyone turned to look at Sasuke, then back up at Naruto. "I asked him to come. Just look at his sketchpad and you'll see why."
"Really?" Kakashi... Sasuke had called him Kakashi... no professor title? He did hear that in college some professors let you call them by their name. His English professor sure didn't do that. "Well, let me see it... what is your name?"
"Oh... um... Naruto." Naruto handed him the sketchpad. "They aren't very good..."
"Well if it's like the art on your shirt, then I'd have to call you a liar." Kakashi flipped through the sketchpad, and Naruto could feel everyone watching him.
They were muttering again.
"Hm, well Naruto, are you an art major?"
"No... I-I'm an English major. I want to be a writer..."
"Is that so?" Kakashi looked through more of the pictures. "I can see why, your pictures seem to tell a story." He looked up at Naruto, his eyes, or rather, his one eye took in the whiskers on his face. Naruto wasn't going to ask him why he had something covering his other eye... "Whiskers?"
"Um... it... it's just something silly I did..."
"... by silly you mean creative?" Naruto looked a bit surprised. Someone actually thought they were creative? "You know, I think we have room for one more person here. But you seriously might want to consider doing art as a minor, or double major. Your drawing isn't perfect, but it's the best 'hobby' I've seen someone have in a long time." Naruto gave an embarrassed smile and nodded. "I'll even give you a sketchpad."
"Give? No... I couldn't..."
"I have extra, it's o.k. It's just something to get you started but you'll probably run out of paper fast since it isn't as big as the other students. You can sit in the back with Sasuke."
"Thank you very much." Naruto took the sketchpad along with his old one and went to sit down with Sasuke, who was only giving him a knowing look. Something along the lines of 'I told you so.' Sasuke actually wore that look a lot.
After that Kakashi began teaching, which didn't really feel like teaching. How could it be teaching when he said things like, "Draw whatever your heart tells you to." Naruto looked all around to see the students already sketching, Kakashi looking at all of their pictures and making comments. He noticed that this sketchpad Sasuke used was different from the one he used back in the dorm The one there was much smaller, and he remembered Sasuke saying something about it being a practice pad. Naruto watched Sasuke draw, seeming to get absorbed into it. Sasuke's drawings seemed to be perfect, they all looked so real.
"You might want to draw something too." Sasuke pointed out, not even looking up at Naruto. Naruto quickly nodded and began drawing. He didn't really know what he was drawing, he just sort of let the pencil move on it's own accord.
Draw whatever your heart tells you.
"Interesting." Naruto jumped in surprise. He was so wrapped up in his drawing that he hadn't noticed how much time had gone by. Kakashi had already gone through all the other students, now it was Naruto's turn. "So, the flames are coming out and surrounding him?"
"Huh?" Naruto hadn't even realized what he drew. It was almost as if he had zoned out.
"That's what it looks like to me." Sasuke looked over at Naruto's picture, smirking a bit. Naruto looked back at Sasuke, then at the picture, then his entire face turned red.
He had drawn Sasuke!
Sasuke was staring right back at him through the picture, with those intense eyes of his. He was wearing the exact outfit he had met him in, he was able to draw it from memory alone. And those flames... the tattoo had always mesmerized him... only now he had the tattoo come to life in the picture. The flames were coming off of his arm and surrounding him, as if he controlled him. Where the hell did that idea come from?
"Very impressive for a first try, you did that all from memory too. Just a few mistakes."
"Yeah... I suck at hands and feet..."
"Trust me, everyone does." Kakashi glanced over at Sasuke. "You mind helping him?"
"Not at all." Kakashi nodded and went back to his desk, leaving the two of them alone. Sasuke slid off of his stool, standing behind Naruto and looking at the picture over his shoulder. Naruto just sat perfectly still, not even daring to make a move. Here he was, the first day in a new class and he draws a picture of his roommate of all people. Couldn't he had been normal and drawn an apple or something? Even if Kakashi had said to draw what his heart told him didn't mean he had to go and do it!
But shouldn't he had drawn Sakura if that were the case?
"Here." Sasuke reached around Naruto and grabbed his hand, moving it over to the drawing. "Hands and feet do suck to draw, but, once you get the hang of it it's not that bad." Naruto watched Sasuke move his hand for him, teaching him how to draw it the right way. He wondered how long Sasuke had been practicing, it had to be a long time if Kakashi trusted him to show Naruto what to do. "But you seem to have everything else done well. You even got my hair right, and I know hair like that has to be a bitch to draw."
"Um... well not really..." Sasuke was awfully close to him, and it was getting harder to breathe. Just teaching, Naruto, that's all he was doing. "I mean... I-I usually draw anime characters and they have interesting hairstyles so..."
"So, are you going to write a little story to this picture?" Was he whispering in his ear? He could feel his breath against his ear, and he could swear he felt... lips...
"I-I don't know... if... if I think of something..." Naruto decided to look away from the picture, to have Sasuke staring at him from the picture then to feel his hand around his in real life...
... but when he looked away from the picture his eyes met with a pair of almost glaring green eyes. Naruto jumped a bit in surprise. Sitting a couple of seats ahead of them was a young man with shaggy, short red hair. It looked like he had mascara around his eyes, and he seemed to have the same taste in clothes that Sasuke did only he seemed to like fishnet style shirts. He seemed to have something written above his eye, on his forehead, but Naruto couldn't make out what it was. And for some reason he was glaring at them. Sasuke caught sight of the person and just grinned, wrapping his free arm around Naruto's waist and pulling him closer.
Naruto blushed harder, and the mysterious boy actually seemed to growl angrily. Who was he?
"We use to date, in high school." Sasuke whispered in Naruto's ear. "It didn't work out very well."
"We-well... he... still seems to like you..." He was glaring at them hard enough for their skin to be burned alive.
"Does he?" Sasuke grinned at the boy ahead of them and moved his hand, very slowly slipping it inside of Naruto's shirt. Naruto squeaked in surprise, his eyes shooting up to the teacher. Why wasn't he stopping...
... what the hell kind of book was he reading!
"Gaara is very... complicated..."
"Sasuke... yo-your hand..."
"Yes?" Sasuke's fingers trailed down Naruto's chest and to his stomach, one of them lightly circling around his bellybutton. "Calm down, I'm just having fun with him."
"Th-that's fine and all, but..." Just having fun? Didn't he know that he was driving Naruto crazy! His roommate was sadistic!
"Now, now boys, play nice." Kakashi had finally stepped in, only, he was still sitting at his desk reading his book. Gaara fixed the two of them with one more glare before he began sketching again.
And Sasuke pulled back and sat down in his own seat, sketching as if he did nothing at all. Naruto just sat there, trying to calm down after...
"Stay away from him." For the millionth time in that classroom Naruto felt his heart stop. He turned to see, Sasuke had said his name was Gaara, standing next to him. When did he...
"Gaara, nice to see you again." Sasuke's voice was dripping with sarcasm.
"Same to you." Gaara fixed his gaze on Naruto. "Stay away from him, for your own good." Huh? Didn't Sasuke just say that Gaara was the bad one? No... he had said complicated... but didn't that mean Gaara was the one who...
"Gaara, don't scare the new kid, leave him alone." Kakashi's focus was still on that damn book! What kind of class had he stepped into? The teacher was reading porn, his roommate had just dragged him into some sort of lover's quarrel... at least Gaara had returned to his seat, but his eyes were still trained on Naruto.
Stay away... Naruto looked at his picture again, frowning a bit. How could he stay away now, when he was already in too deep?
/and how it's bound to be a heartbreak situation/
Despite the drama, Naruto decided to add the class. He wasn't sure if he'd make art a minor or another major, but he knew that he did enjoy drawing. And Kakashi had said his pictures seemed to tell a story, and since he wanted to be a writer that was the ultimate compliment. Him and Sasuke had to split up after class was done, which was too bad because he had wanted to try and talk to him more. As roommates they talked, but it was basic roommate conversations. How was class? What are you doing tonight? What do you want to eat? Things like that. But this art class... it seemed to be getting them a bit closer. Sasuke had told him something personal about himself. He had a boyfriend in high school.
That meant he liked guys! Not that... Naruto cared or... anything...
All he knew about Sasuke up to today was that he had an older brother, who he didn't seem to like to talk about.
Using the art class to be around Sasuke more was kind of stupid, but, at the same time he was using it for himself. Why not get a grade for something he liked?
And... it got him around Sasuke more... and it let him see him as something more than a roommate. Not that... he liked Sasuke or any... thing...
Oh who was he kidding!
Naruto was practically beaming by now. He couldn't wait to go back to his room and tell Sasuke the good news about getting into the class. The rest of his classes dragged on, being much longer then humanly possible. And today was his late class day, the day where he didn't get back to his room until dark. Damn English class being offered only at night. While he had no problem with staying in class all night writing, tonight he just wanted to go back home and tell Sasuke that he would be in his class officially.
An eternity later, he was finally free. Naruto all but ran back to his room. The distance between class and home seemed ten million times longer, but somehow he made it back. Fumbling with his keys Naruto unlocked the door and somehow refrained himself from throwing it open. He wanted to show some sort of control.
The first thing Naruto noticed was how dark the room was. The lights were off, and the only thing he could see was the red letters of the digital clock. It wasn't that late at night, did Sasuke have an early class tomorrow? Even so, nine-thirty was still an early time to go to bed.
"Sasuke..." Naruto's eyes widened. That was... Sakura's voice... "Oh gods, Sasuke..." Naruto took a step back, hitting the wall but he didn't seem to notice. All he could do was stare at Sasuke's bed. His eyes had finally adjusted to the darkness enough to make out the movement going on underneath Sasuke's covers.
Sasuke and... Sakura? But he always ignored her, why would he...
Naruto shook his head, he didn't want to believe it. But... he could hear it, hear it all. Hear her cries, hear pleas for more, and the occasional grunts of pleasure from Sasuke.
Stay away from him. Gaara's words came back to him full force. Stay away...
Naruto made his way over to his own bed and curled up in it, facing the wall and not Sasuke's bed like he usually would. He'd watch him sleeping sometimes, listen to the light snores...
... he curled up more when he heard a particularly loud cry from Sakura. Sakura... it was her he had the crush on, right? What a joke, it wasn't her he had the crush on. He knew now, from the way his heart ached from the sounds she made. It wasn't because he wanted to cause those sounds...
... it was because he wanted to be making those sounds, because of Sasuke. It should've been him... at least Sasuke paid some attention to him...
Stay away... Gaara had been right. He should've known that from the way Sasuke was acting. Just messing with Gaara at Naruto's expense. Didn't he know what that had done to him? Didn't he know how much he liked him? How much he wanted to be the one he was kissing, he was touching, he was making love to? Naruto curled up under the covers, tuning out the two of them. He couldn't let this get to him. He had better things to worry over, not some stupid roommate having sex with a girl from his high school who he use to like. He needed to devote his time to school, to prove everyone back at home wrong. That was why he was here right? He wasn't here to fall for some stupid boy he was going to be living with for months.
"How long have you been in here?" Naruto winced when he heard that voice. How much time had passed? Naruto sat up from under the covers and looked up to see Sakura slipping on her bra and panties, a dreamy look on her face. Naruto looked away, even if Sasuke didn't seem to care that he was in the room.
"Gods, what a pervert." Sakura was buttoning up her shirt, her jeans having already been slipped on. "He was probably listening to us."
"It's my room, you know, I don't have anywhere else to go this late at night." But Naruto had been listening for a while, until it became too much for him. He didn't want to know anymore, about what Sasuke had been doing with her.
"Well, whatever." Sakura draped her arms around Sasuke, positively glowing. "See you tomorrow, Sasuke." She kissed his lips, so wrapped up in the kiss that she didn't even see the bored look on Sasuke's face.
But Naruto did.
Sakura left their room, and as soon as they did Sasuke gave a long sigh and plopped down in his bed.
"That's the end of that."
"What?" What was he talking about?
"I gave her what she wanted, now maybe she'll leave me alone."
"What!" Naruto looked absolutely horrified. Is that why he did that? Was it that easy for him to... do something like that? "But... Sakura likes you..."
"No, she thinks she likes me. She doesn't know anything about me, she just knows that she likes what she sees and she wouldn't leave me alone until she got it."
"How could you say something like that?"
"Why do you care? You should be happy."
"Happy?" Why would he be happy? He had hurt Sakura, or rather, he was going to hurt her by blowing her off later when she came back. She might not have been very nice to him, but he would never be happy about her being hurt. That was just cruel!
"Yes, happy. Because now she'll leave me alone, and now I'm all yours." Sasuke smirked at him, and Naruto found himself blushing. "I mean, you want me right?"
"Ye-yes... I mean no, no! Not like that, not just for that but... but I want to get to know you..."
"Oh please." Sasuke stood up, approaching Naruto wearing the same smirk. Naruto backed away from him, his back hitting the door when he backed up too far. Sasuke seemed to smirk more, placing his hands on both sides of Naruto's head, trapping him there. "I know you want me, I can see it in the way you look at me." Sasuke's eyes roamed over Naruto's body, causing Naruto to shiver from just the look in his eyes. "You always hide in these baggy clothes, you shouldn't." Sasuke moved one hand down, very slowly lifting up the hooded sweatshirt Naruto wore. Naruto's eyes widened as inch after inch of his body was revealed to Sasuke. "Mmmm, very nice, has anyone ever told you that before?"
"N-no..." Naruto gasped softly when he felt fingers playing around his bellybutton again, like earlier in the classroom.
"Really? You've never been touched, have you? You're a virgin, aren't you?" Naruto only blushed even more, trying not to respond but Sasuke had started moving his fingers over the obvious bulge in his pants. "That makes it even better."
He didn't want this, not this way. He wasn't lying when he said that he wanted to get to know Sasuke better. He didn't want what Sasuke said Sakura wanted, he wanted more than that. But Sasuke didn't seem to want to give that...
... maybe that's why... him and Gaara broke up... but Gaara didn't seem like the type to want love either. It was just the look in his eyes...
But Naruto wanted more, no matter how excited his body was he wanted something deeper then that. No one had cared about him before, even if he was use to it didn't mean he wanted it. He wanted someone to care...
"Sasuke... stop..."
"Stop?" Sasuke sounded amused. "You mean you don't want this?" Sasuke moved his hand back, his hand passing over Naruto's ass, a finger circling around his jean covered entrance. Naruto made a soft sound that was between protest and pleasure, causing Sasuke to smirk again. "I promise to make it feel good, Naruto."
"N-no... I don't... I don't want..." He didn't want it to happen and then for Sasuke to push him away like he did with Sakura. He didn't want to be pushed away, he'd been pushed away all his life he didn't want that. Not again.
"Shhhh..." Sasuke brought his lips close, close enough to kiss. "Just let me kiss you, and I promise you won't be protesting anymore."
"No!" Naruto pushed him away, hard, causing Sasuke to stumble back. Naruto had tears in his eyes, but he refused to let them fall. "I don't want to do that with you! Not if you're just going to push me away like I mean nothing. I already mean nothing to everyone else, I won't mean nothing to you too!" And with those words, Naruto left the room. He wasn't sure where he was going to go, but he knew that it would be away from Sasuke.
He didn't get to see the surprised look on Sasuke's face, and mixed in with that surprise was actually another look.
A look of regret.
But the song continues on.
TBC
Author's Comments (long rant, sorry in advance): Sasuke and Gaara, um, yeah that relationship will be explained later. Not sure when, but I promise it will be. Sasuke and Sakura, yep, just a one time thing. And yeah I know Sasuke is kind of cold in this chapter but it will be fixed, this is a Sasuke and Naruto fic after all so they have to get together sometime, because I said so. Also, other characters will be in this story, it mentioned that Sasuke has a brother so you guessed it, Itachi will be making an appearance. Not revealing anyone else, gotta keep some secrets Like I said, I haven't seen much of the series but I know the characters, not all of them but I know quite a few.
I do hope my characters are still in character, I know Naruto is basically... um... I don't want to say stupid but from what I've seen and heard he's like Yusuke from Yu Yu Hakusho only worse. But I have seen him with a serious side, and I have seen him emotional so those qualities are in this fic, probably more then the whole stupid Naruto one is. But, it'll still be around Sasuke, from what I've seen and heard, is kind of an asshole sometimes. He's consumed with one thought only, so in this fic, especially this chapter, he's an asshole. But don't worry, I love Sasuke, so he'll learn. And Sakura, yeah I know she's kind of a bitch but I know for a fact that in the episodes I've seen and manga I've read she didn't like Naruto too much at all, if at all, and is constantly seeking Sasuke's approval. I know later she probably does get better so, she might grow in the fic.
As for their classes and such, that is totally a college girl author talking. Naruto has the same major as me, but even so there are a certain amount of credits you need in other classes like math and science and such, so the required classes I keep talking about are those. As for the art class, I'd love to take one but the cool ones are usually for the majors or are closed already, so I gave Naruto a break and let it slide. I gave Naruto another break, because at my school the writing classes are rarely open to freshmen, I took the required English class and couldn't even take the writing class I wanted the next semester because it was for sophomores and higher. That seems to be the case in a lot of classes I think so I guess I gave Sasuke a break too.
And Kakashi, yeah I've found that in a lot of my classes, being an English major, we rarely call our teachers professor such and such, we just use their names. And yes, Kakashi still has his eye covered and the book, because he wouldn't be Kakashi without the damn book
Hope you all enjoyed this chapter, even if it was pretty angsty. Sorry for the long rambling at the end, I will try not to do it again.
