[[Sasuke's POV]]
No matter how hard I tried not to think about what happened that morning I couldn't control my own brain. It took longer than usual to ditch Sakura, maybe she was trying to sate her curiosity about the tension at practice. In the end, I won, losing her in the outskirts of town.
"What the hell even happened today." I kicked a large rock to try and let out my frustration. That idiot Naruto has gone insane. That's the only explanation for that thing that happened. What was even more frustrating is that I didn't hate it. Did I like it? No. How could I like that kind of thing from Naruto of all people? But then why did I not want to rip his head off, why wasn't I angry.
I walked for hours, swapping between confusion and irritation.
"I bet that asshole is laughing about this to himself,, " I said trying to pinpoint the motive behind Naruto's actions. With that idea in my mind, I decided to head to his house and confront him. Maybe knock some damn sense into the empty cavity in his head.
Arriving at his front door I knocked twice and waited impatiently. I heard shuffling, and slowly the dragging feet stopped. When the door opened Naruto's eyes narrowed at me and he immediately shut me out.
"Hey, open up," I called
"Go away." Was the pitiful reply I received in return.
"Open this door or I'll kick it down."
"Go away" There it was again. My temper was rising, I rubbed my eyes before I asked again.
"Don't you think there's something you need to say to me before I come in there and beat it out of you?" I asked, hinting at wanting an apology. The door opened again and Naruto was still wearing a sour expression.
"Stop yelling at my door you jerk." I grabbed his neck and pushed him back into his house closing the door behind me.
"I'm the jerk, what? Are you so dumb that you've forgotten what you did?" Naruto hit my hand away and rubbed where my fingers had been imprinted on his skin. I continued,
"Don't think I don't know what you're doing. You're just trying to make me mad to make me fight you again. I bet you're laughing it up in here watching me. If you want to go again fine, let's go right now."
Naruto looked at me, his face changing from its previous disgust to slight amusement.
"Considering how much you call me dumb Sasuke, you're the one being stupid."
[[Naruto's POV]]
I didn't want to open the door, but I figured I should try to explain or lie. Lying sounds good; though my mind kept triggering the memory of what Kakashi-Sensei had said. As soon as I opened the door Sasuke's hand was around my throat. It was difficult to breathe so I ripped his hand away. This bastard, why did it have to be him?
He accused me of planning it all from the start, I wish I had, I wish there was nothing behind it. I wish it wasn't you and I wish it never happened.
"If you want to go again fine, let's go right now." He demanded. I had heard enough, I wanted to just tell him it was a joke and to get over it but he made my emotions fire up. Is he blind to me? My confidence spewed out of my mouth before my brain could process and assess what I was going to say.
"Considering how much you call me dumb Sasuke, you're the one being stupid."
"What?" He spat at me. I smirked at him and took a step closer.
"You got kissed by a guy, then you come to his house after he had been trying not to see you" I took another step towards Sasuke,
"Then you tell him that you're all worked up over it. What are you really hoping for?" We were almost nose to nose. I felt like I wasn't in control of my own emotions. This is what my gut was telling me to do, so I was doing it.
"I was avoiding you because I didn't know what I was doing. It's your fault that I've been so frustrated lately." My voice lowered as I looked him in the eyes.
"How is anything my fault, I haven't done anything to you." he retorted,
"That's the problem. I want you to." Before he could reply to me I grabbed his hands and pushed his back into the door, hands held above his head. "Or is it that I want to do things to you?" I whispered into his ear.
Sasuke sharply brought his knee up to stomach and I arched over from the sudden impact.
"You're sick." Sasuke hissed at me, though the slight twinge of pink starting to develop on his cheeks gave him away. As soon as the pink came it faded into anger. He hit me in the face while I was still hunched over causing me to fall to the floor. I stayed there so he turned to leave. Outside of the door was Sakura, who stopped Sasuke in his tracks. She was about to knock on the door that had just opened.
"Sasuke, what are you doing here?" She asked before seeing me sprawled on the floor. I was looking at the ceiling now, silently wishing Sakura would leave. Regardless of the situation, I laughed. Was I relieved that I had actually said that weird stuff? I turned my head to see Sasuke push Sakura out of the way and stormed out.
"Naruto what did you do to Sasuke?
"I think Sasuke's the one that done something to me if you haven't noticed"
"You provoked him no doubt. Sasuke wouldn't just attack you." I mumbled my agreement while she fixed up the blood running from my nose.
"Sakura, why do you like Sasuke?" My question caught her off guard but she seemed to think for a minute before replying.
"Well he's so talented, and he's cool, handsome and I bet when you get to know his he's probably really sweet.." She trailed off into her own fantasy while I sat up.
"At least you have a reason." I thought.
