Chapter 2: Friends, for real??
Naruto was waiting in the bathroom defiantly curious to hear what Sasuke had to say. Considering that the Uchiha was the most popular guy in school and had quite the rep. He now understood why he wouldn't want anyone to know. He leaned against the wall next to the sink waiting for his new friend, Sasuke was his friend right?
Sasuke walked into the bathroom and closed the door pushing a garbage can in front of the door to jam it.
"If you tell anyone, I swear to God, I'll kill you," Sasuke seethed balling his hands into fists. Naruto decided that answered his question maybe they weren't friends after all.
"I'm not gonna tell anyone, who would I tell?" Naruto spat, offended by Sasuke questioning his trustworthiness, "I don't have any friends, you should know that…" Naruto muttered standing up straight.
"I--" Sasuke paused for a moment he honestly didn't know what to say, he knew everything about Naruto even if he never knew he was the same blonde idiot he went to school with. Even before he told him his secret they had been pretty good friends. "I know it's just if that got out…" Sasuke cringed rubbing his arm.
"Hey, I know, I know how awful it would be, and I wouldn't do that to you even if you deserve it…" Naruto muttered getting ready to leave. "Do you have any idea how bad I wish I could ruin your life asshole?" Naruto asked stopping at the door. It was true, online they were the best of friends, but in real life Sasuke had been a huge prick to him since like 3rd grade when he and his friends used to bully him.
"Uzumaki, if you even think about…"
"I already told you I'm not gonna tell anyone, but honestly I think I should be the one the making the demands right now, not you. I could blackmail you so easily. I could ruin your life," Naruto snapped, "Like that, but unlike you I'm not a sadistic prick. I don't get off on seeing other people miserable thanks," Naruto just shook his head as he went to move the trash can.
"Naruto," Sasuke frowned looking over at the blonde.
"What, I need to get to class. If I'm late again Iruka's gonna give me detention for a week." Naruto smiled reassuringly at Sasuke. He honestly felt bad about what happened to him, even if he was his arch nemesis he wouldn't wish that on anyone.
"I'm sorry, for all the shit I put you through okay, truce?" Sasuke asked walking over to follow the blonde out the door.
"Yeah, sure truce. Does this mean we're friends now?" Naruto asked sounding almost hopeful. Sasuke smirked a little before nodding.
"Sure," he shrugged as he started to walk off towards his next class.
"That easily? What will your friends say?" Naruto asked following after Sasuke since their classes were in the same direction.
"It doesn't matter, they're not good friends anyways," Sasuke shrugged before they went their separate ways into their class rooms.
The rest of the morning was pretty uneventful, except for a few random text messages from Sasuke. Naruto was even more excited now that he knew who he was. Of course it was a little disappointing, but at least he had a real friend now. He was going through the text messages from first period reading them all that's when it occurred to him that Sasuke had said he already had a crush on him. How could that even be possible the way he treated him for so many years.
U had a crush on me?
Naruto texted freaked out by that revelation. He never once thought about the Uchiha like that, sure he was the only person at school who could get him so worked up over every little thing, and sure he had noticed how hot he was, but he was so cruel most of the time. Naruto sighed putting his phone back in his pocket after he didn't get a response for awhile. He started to work on his math worksheet annoyed with how he didn't understand a single problem. That is until his phone vibrated. He pulled it out of his pocket excited but nervous to see Sasuke's reply.
No I have a crush on u…
Sasuke took forever to send that text because he wasn't sure if he really felt comfortable admitting that. Sure he'd been having weird feelings for the blonde for awhile and had an unhealthy obsession with pissing him off and the way eye brows would twitch when he got really pissed. He loved being close to Naruto when he was screaming his face, but now that would be weird to admit.
They were friends now so if he played his cards right he could have the blonde in his face without almost getting punched. The only thing was he was really afraid of that sort of thing. He had girls and guys for that matter fawning on him all the time, but he'd never felt comfortable with hugging or kissing it was just easier to yell. His parents were not the kind of people to hug and kiss their sun or tuck him into bed. They were never home to do that. In fact Itachi was the only person who had ever kissed him. He used to see it more as innocent brotherly love when they would kiss good night or spend the night curled up together, but then one day Itachi took it to far. That was awhile ago though, sure he would kiss him and try and slip him some tongue or try and get him to watch him jerk himself off, but up until yesterday he had never taken it that far. Honestly Sasuke didn't think he ever would. Sasuke was wrapped up in his thoughts and only snapped out of them when Gaara tapped his shoulder.
"You alright, you seem weird today…" the red head noted even though they weren't the kind of friends who discussed their feelings. Gaara was very susceptible to people's feelings and it was driving him nuts to see Sasuke so weird, not that you could tell by the blank unconcerned expression on his face.
"I'm fine; hey can I copy your map? I just don't feel like doing it today?" Sasuke asked. Sasuke never asked to copy anyone's work he was always a perfectionist. Gaara knew there was defiantly something wrong with Sasuke and it pissed him off to no end that he wouldn't admit it. Of course Gaara would never admit that he knew Sasuke was lying to him either. Sasuke pulled out his phone and read the text message not knowing what to expect since Naruto took so long to reply. He laughed out loud at the text he received, which only made Gaara even more suspicious.
I have a crush on u not the bastard Uchiha Sasuke TT
Naruto smirked, very pleased with his text since he honestly did. He was flattered that the hottest guy in school had a crush on him, but he honestly had never thought about the jerk like that. At least not until he found out he was his best friend who played dumb online RPG games and wrote stupid stories about ninjas just like he did. It amused him to no end that behind the money and the good looks Sasuke was a depressed nerd just like him. It was almost lunch time and he didn't know what to do, would Sasuke want to eat lunch with him or would he pretend they were still enemies in front of his friend.
Maybe I can change that, meet me in the courtyard by the fountain at lunch maybe u'll see that that bastard isn't so bad UU
Naruto blushed a bit at the text he got Sasuke was actually pretty sweet when he wanted to be, not that he would put it past the Uchiha bastard to be quite the charmer, why else would everyone be in love with him? He sighed he was really going to have to remember Sasuke wasn't such a prick, but he couldn't help it. It was so hard to see him for anything but the ass hole he had been for so many years.
I'll be there! But if Mr. Popular really wanted to impress me he should prolly bring me some lunch!
Sasuke just laughed he got the text right as the bell rang for them to head to lunch. His friends were all sure he had finally lost his mind with how much he was laughing and how distracted he seemed. He went to the student commons and bought a cup of noodle and a coke for the blonde. He knew for a fact that Naruto loved ramen and even online the blonde always talked about how much he needed a coke or some top ramen. With the food in hand he walked out to the courtyard where Naruto was already sitting on the edge of the fountain waiting for him.
"I didn't think you would really bring me food!" Naruto beamed as Sasuke sat down.
"I didn't, "Sasuke smirked looking at the blonde like he was crazy. "This is my lunch…" he muttered.
"What?! No fair!" Naruto spat frowning "I thought we were friends!" he whined.
"I'm kidding, here," Sasuke smiled as he handed the food to Naruto; he actually smiled.
"Thank you!" Naruto chimed blushing a bit embarrassed he was fooled so easily.
Sasuke took a drink of his sprite he really kind of hated coke and ramen, but if that was what the blonde liked he was glad he could make him happy.
To his friends Gaara and Neji who were watching the scene unfold that was beyond creepy. Sasuke must be planning something really cruel for the blonde if he was giving him food. He probably put a laxative in the cup of noodles or something the figured. They couldn't hear what the others were saying from where they were sitting, but Sasuke honestly looked happy.
"Whatcha guys doin'?" Kiba asked sitting down at the picnic table across from the two next to Kankuro and Shino. "Is Sasuke fighting with Naruto again?" he asked turning to look.
"I don't know," Neji muttered, "they look like they're being civil."
"Did hell freeze over?" Kankuro scoffed bitterly.
"I doubt that…" Gaara said looking up at his brother blankly.
"Then I doubt that Sasuke and the moron are getting along. Sasuke hates him, he must be plotting something." Kankuro reasoned before slapping Kiba's hand away from his food since he was already picking at his lunch.
"Why don't you go ask him about it Kiba?" Shino asked knowing that he or Kankuro were the only ones who would and there was no way Kankuro would leave his food alone with Kiba.
"Huh? Okay, but what if he is plotting something won't I ruin it and piss him off?" he asked as Shikamaru sat down putting his head down on the table.
"Maybe, but inquiring minds need to know!" Kankuro said waving him along.
"Fine, whatever, but you guys owe me…" Kiba muttered as he walked over to the two.
"Sasuke, what are you doing over here?" he asked with a hand on his hip as he gave the blonde a look that obviously said he thought he was better than him. Naruto ignored it and went back to eating half expecting Sasuke to start insulting him.
"I finally decided to make friends with this idiot. Do you have any idea how much time we waist hassling him? I decided that time could be spent more productively on other things." Sasuke muttered sounding like he'd really thought it through.
"Oh," Kiba blinked a few times, that was defiantly not the reply he was expecting. "In that case shouldn't we all try since I'm sure no one else would care if Naruto sat with us at lunch? I mean you don't have to hide over here…" he offered getting ready to walk away.
"Do you want to Naruto? I mean I know we've all been pricks to you. I understand if you're not ready to try hanging with us all at once…"
"Hmmm, I don't care I can eat over there if you want to. It doesn't matter to me, you bought me lunch. I guess if you want me to eat it with your friends it's the least I can do…" Naruto shrugged honestly sounding indifferent to the whole idea since there was no one over there he hated more than Sasuke and since they were getting along it probably wouldn't matter.
Kiba watched the two of tem still blinking more than he probably should be; he couldn't believe this was really happening sure Naruto didn't seem so bad, but he never thought Sasuke would give up his relentless harassing of the blonde.
"Okay we'll be over in a minute, alright?" Sasuke asked obviously hinting for Kiba to go. Kiba just nodded and walked back over to their friends to give them the unbelievable news. Naruto stood up still eating as he walked. He threw away the empty container on the way over then and Sasuke stopped at the trash can with him.
"Is this okay, you really don't mind?" Sasuke asked feeling bad asking Naruto to live with all the guys who made his life a living hell all through school.
"As long as this isn't some really fucked up joke where you're trying to make think you're my friend and your friends don't hate me I don't mind. I always wanted someone to sit with me at lunch…" Naruto admitted rubbing the back of his neck kind of embarrassed. He honestly had no friends what so ever at school. Some of the girls were nice to him, and Rock Lee usually took pity on him and would be his partner, but that in itself was pathetic considering he too was a huge nerd and everyone was convinced he was sleeping with one of the teachers.
"I'm sorry…" Sasuke muttered feeling like a complete asshole.
"Why is this a joke?!" Naruto spat about ready to punch Sasuke square in the face.
"No!" Sasuke laughed, "Just I'm sorry you never had anyone to sit with, if I wasn't such a prick I would of sat with you, I've never really hated you…"
"Coulda fooled me!" Naruto beamed shrugging. "No worries though I forgive you; just please don't ever make me sit alone again…" Naruto asked as they started walking again.
"I swear you can punch me in my face if I do…" Sasuke smirked.
"I'm gonna hold you to that…" Naruto muttered before falling completely silent as the approached the table.
"Hey, no hard feelings man?" Kiba asked holding his hand out to 'pound it' with Naruto.
"Yeah sure, no hard feelings!" Naruto beamed as he bumped fists with Kiba and then Kankuro. Sasuke and Naruto sat down next to Gaara across from Kankuro and Kiba. Kiba started joking around about something and Naruto joined in making them all laugh.
"Why didn't we do this sooner, Sasuke? Naruto isn't such a bad guy after all…" Kankuro muttered to the Uchiha as Naruto and Kiba continued to laugh and joke around about girls. Kiba never really had someone to joke around with. Sure, Kankuro could take a joke, but Naruto reminded Kiba more of the friends he had online. The ones who actually joked back with him.
After lunch Sasuke walked Naruto to his next class.
"Thank you!" Naruto muttered watching as he rubbed the toe of his shoe into the ground.
"For what?" Sasuke asked confused.
"For lunch, for being my friend, for introducing me to your friends, thanks for everything!" Naruto chimed, he wanted to hug Sasuke but he didn't know if that would be okay so he just blushed and laughed nervously.
"No thank you, for giving me a chance, and for not being a dick to me even though I know you could." Sasuke smirked before patting Naruto on the shoulder. He wanted to hug him too, but he wasn't the kind of guy to just randomly guy another guy for no reason, or even to say good bye.
"I better get into class," Naruto chimed rubbing his head. "I'll text you!" he added waving as he walked in the door obviously disappointed he didn't get that hug. It wasn't very long into class that he got a text from Sasuke. He had been trying to finish his work before he texted Sasuke, but oh well.
Do you have aim on ur phone?
Naruto read the text instead of his Chemistry book.
Ya I'll sign in!
Naruto did just that and looked over his mobile buddy list. Briefly he wondered why he hadn't thought to use his aim before most all his friends were on.
RedEyes9696- Hey

The phone started flashing: New IM from: DoggyStyle1344
DoggyStyle1344- I'm bored

FoxyDemon420- I'm talkin to a really bomb guy!

FoxyDemon420- No xD lol ur bomb 2 though
DoggyStyle1344- Oh no, Blondie! You found a new man? I'm hurt
FoxyDemon420- lol shut up!
RedEyes9696 started flashing on the side of the screen.
RedEyes9696- today?
Naruto wondered why there was such a long pause before Sasuke asked him that and had to shove his phone in his pocket as his teacher came over to check his work. He got yelled at for not doing his work, luckily the teacher hadn't seen his phone though. For the rest of the period Tsunada sat next to him making sure he finished his work. Naruto felt bad he couldn't answer the IMs and packed up his bag complaining about his teacher being an old hag. When he pulled out the phone there was a long line of messages from Sasuke obviously he was worried.
Sasuke thought he was being to forward or something and upset Naruto by asking about coming over, why else wouldn't he answer.
RedEyes9696- or tomorrow?
RedEyes9696- or we could meet and get food while we study if u don't want me 2 come over
RedEyes9696- I don't want to seem pushy or anything
RedEyes9696- R U mad?
RedEyes9696- I was just trying to help OO;
RedEyes9696- Sorry?
RedEyes9696- Naruto I wasn't gonna try anything…
RedEyes9696- I swear… I wouldn't ever do anything u didn't want me 2!
Sasuke was walking to his car still sending messages trying to get Naruto to reply, school was almost over and honestly he didn't want to go home any more than he wanted Naruto to be mad at him. He frowned hard when he saw Naruto actually sign off aim.
Naruto read the messages and felt pretty awful. He knew Sasuke didn't mean anything by that. He sign off aim and flipped through his received calls before dialing Sasuke's number.
Sasuke was more than relieved to see Naruto calling and answered it his voice still kind of frantic.
"Hey, so--"
"Don't be sorry, that old hag Tsunada was breathing down my neck making do my work. I didn't get a chance to reply! Just forget it. You still want to come over?" Naruto interrupted Sasuke explaining everything before he could worry more.
"Yeah if you want,"
"I do want your help, not that I'd be opposed to letting you buy me food while we study!" Naruto beamed trying to let him know he read all the messages.
"I'll order pizza if you want?"
"Okay, that'd be awesome. Well I'm gonna pull out, you gonna follow me?" Naruto asked starting his car.
"Yeah I'll see you at your place," Sasuke muttered as he hung up the phone.
Naruto hung up his phone whining about how people never say goodbye anymore and pulled out letting Sasuke follow him.
