sorry, i forgot to update on friday...again...

:The Pianists:

-Chap. Four

Naruto was the first to break the staring contest and spoke up, "well, why don't we have a look at the pieces and decide who does what" he suggested.

"whatever"

They both approached the piano and sat on the seat bunching up close because of the size; Naruto at the top half and Sasuke at the bottom. They both looked down at the piano keys awkwardly and both ran their fingers over their end gently, playing out whatever piece would be the first thing they would have chosen to play if they were on their own.

As Naruto's hand went to reach for the lower keys and Sasuke's hand went to touch the higher keys, their fingers brushed and they both turned to look at their hands touching each other. They both blushed slightly and drew their hands away from each other. Naruto reached up for the book that lay on top of the piano and started flicking through the pages looking for one of the duets.

"so… ano… you're doing GCSE's next year, right? What are your choices?" Naruto asked as he continued to look for a good starting song.

"music, product design, art and ceramics"

"arty subjects then" Naruto smiled at him, "I wouldn't be able to do those kinds of subjects…"

"I'm good with my hands" he let a small smile escape before realising he slipped and returning to his straight face "oh, what about you?"

"me? ano… economics, business studies, ICT and… oh yea, music. They're not the most exciting subjects in the world. But they should be able to help me get a decent paying job for when I leave." He looked out into an empty space not really looking at anything in his own world. Sasuke looked at him with a sense of wonder and wasn't really able to understand why he would choose such boring subjects. He made his choices based on what he enjoyed and what he was best at. He had discovered long ago that he was very talented with his hands. He was as steady as a rock, was able to add immense detail to fine drawings and create many sculptures and pottery of the kind. No one knew about this though. And no one would. He had a reputation to keep.

He waved his hand in front of Naruto's face a couple times and clicked his fingers before he snapped out of his gaze, "what's this piece sound like then?" he said as he turned to look at the music.

"huh?... oh.. OH! Yea. The music… right. Erm.. well, the higher part goes something like this."

Naruto ran his fingers over the keys a few times and positioned his hands before pressing the keys and playing the music. "it sounds kind of weird at the moment because its only one part of it. But as soon as you add the lower part, then it really sounds complete. Oh! Erm, which parts of the piece do you want to play? I learnt both so that you could play whichever part you want to. I think that the-"

"the bottom part is fine." Sasuke took a look at the piece in front of him before placing his hands in position straight away and proceeding to play the piece with a few mistakes. Naruto chose not to say anything to Sasuke as he watched Sasuke wince himself as he made mistakes with the piece.

"hey, don't worry about it if you get some of it wrong. It's the first time you're seeing this right? I have to go through a piece about 50 times before I can –"

"you talk a lot don't you"

"ah… sorry." Naruto looked down as he flushed in embarrassment. Sasuke gave a small chuckle.

"don't worry about it."

"Weeeeeeeell! Nice to see you too getting along!" Tsunade had just been standing outside the door while the two played the piece for the first time. She couldn't hear anything other than the music being played but if they were shouting then she would have heard it.

Sasuke's smile wiped off his face as he turned away with a scowl on his face, "I don't know what you're talking about. He's a complete idiot"

"HEH?! What was that TEME?!" that annoying voice of his was back. How did things change so suddenly as soon as someone entered the room?
