A/N- This story was purely written for lunabasketcase because she is special like that. And she was getting tired of me making angst.
Disclaimer: I own a lot of things, but not Naruto.
Warnings: Shonen-ai and fluff.
Summary: It was a pretty silver ring. On the wrong person's finger. A sweet shonen-ai oneshot with XXXxNaru.
It was a pretty little silver ring. Nothing special, but it was very high quality and very, very pretty. Also, it was on Uzumaki Naruto's ring finger.
The boy had rushed into school five minutes late, his face fading from pink, his uniform hastily buttoned and his silky blond hair flying behind him. After giving a quick apology and excuse to the class, he went to his seat, a tender smile on his face.
Twenty minutes into the day, Naruto had let out a short yelp as a metallic clatter was heard. He dove under his next and sheepishly smiled as the Irish-exchange student who's father had been born in Japan, Haruno Sakura, sitting in front of him smiled and opened her hand to give him the silver ring.
Then she paused as she saw the ring. She raised an incredoulous eyebrow and pointed to the design on the ring. "Naruto-kun, you have a Clatter (sp?) ring?" The blond boy gave a manic grin and nodded.
Their teacher, Hatake Kakashi, always looking for an excuse to stall learning time asked in his drawling voice what exactly was a Clatter ring. Sakura passed around her own gold ring and pointed to the design. She explained if the hands holding the heart with the crown on it was facing you, it meant you were single.
However, if the heart was facing the world, it meant you were taken. Sakura giggled and stole a look towards Uchiha Sasuke and the stoic boy edged closer to his girlfriend, Hyuuga Hinata.
The class asked Naruto how he wore his ring, each expecting a blush and a stammer that is was facing towards him. However, the boy wasn't known for surprising people because of things he didn't do.
"Facing the world, of course!" Naruto had let out a giggle and his ears tinged pink. His peers instantly started laughing.
Instead of getting upset, Naruto had let out a secretive smile, and the class had gasped and started asking Naruto who his love was. Various names were tossed in and out, and Naruto just kept shaking his head, not saying a word until school let out.
Instead of heading towards the poor, run-down district he was from, Naruto headed towards a far more affluent district, with the homes of the Sabaku, the Hyuuga, the Uchiha, and various other old, rich families.
Leaning against a large mansion's gate wall was a handsome young man. Naruto rushed to his lover and got lazily embraced. Naruto stood on his toes to give his lover a peck on the cheek and blushed as his lover dragged him into his room.
Naruto let his hands run through his lover's hair and moans escaped him as he was brought into heaven. It wasn't the fact he felt this way, it was the fact someone like his lover was doing it to him.
Hours later, spent and tired Naruto caressed his lover's face as his lover lazily twisted the ring on his finger around. As his lover pulled Naruto into a tender, demanding, gently, harsh kiss, ignoring the tangle of sheets they were both in, Naruto let a name escape him like a prayer to some ancient god.
"Itachi..."
