Chapter 5 : The Things to Forget

If he weren't Uchiha Sasuke, they would say he was beaming. But he was Uchiha Sasuke, so it's not possible. But he was beaming. Because Naruto had decided to accept his deal. This, he had to thank his fangirls. He had proposed the deal a week ago. After that, Naruto refused to see Sasuke anywhere. Sasuke tried to talk to him but Naruto couldn't be found anywhere.

Unfortunately for Naruto and Rock Lee of course, Lee broke his arm in his training. Lee was good with paintings which was the reason Gai picked him to make a painting for the school festival. He also liked martial arts. And that's the cause of the problem. In one of his training, he broke his arm. This meant no painting.

There's someone who could paint really good, and that someone was Naruto. Lee had said that he painted better than Lee himself but Naruto denied it. Now, with Lee injured, Gai-sensei needed someone else to make a painting and that would be Naruto. The problem was the fangirls were getting aggressive day by day and though he refused to admit it, he needed Sasuke's help. And that's the reason of the smile on the Uchiha's face that day.

"Can you walk a bit faster, Sasuke-teme!"

Sasuke smirked. "You have to walk with me. Don't complain, dobe, or I'll leave you here."

"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!"

"Hn, baka."

And that's all they say along the way to the class. Sasuke would take Naruto to his class and make sure to glare at the girls, especially Sakura, before he left for his own class. But did that affect the way they treated Naruto? Hardly. Fangirls were scary, that Sasuke and Naruto concluded.

This had happen for days and everyday the smile on the Uchiha's face got wider and wider. Why was that? No one knew. But the happier Sasuke looked, the more sullen Naruto became. Because even Naruto couldn't deny that Sasuke was gorgeous and the fact that his smile attracted more fangirls made him feel threaten. More fangirls, more danger of being attacked. That equaled to have to stay with Sasuke. And that's unbearable for Naruto.

Kakashi could only shake his head when he saw the glares those fangirls directed at Naruto from behind his back. "So peaceful. I wonder when the storm will come."

Uchiha Fugaku was a tall and handsome man. Everyone who saw him would say that he got a perfect life. He had a very beautiful wife, two sons who excelled in many things, and a very successful career. It's a pity that he didn't think that way.

The only thing that was successful in his life was his career. His wife had changed. Itachi … he seemed distant. He knew very well that the only reason Itachi still stayed in the mansion because he wanted to make sure Sasuke was okay. And Sasuke … the boy had changed so much that it had become difficult to look for the Sasuke whom he used to play with. Then again, at that time they hadn't been rich.

And now, the marriage … he had to keep his promise. Sasuke had to marry, he had to marry. A promise was a promise. Even when the person whom he had promised to couldn't see it happened.…

"Uchiha-sama."

The voice of his secretary brought him back from his daydreaming. Fugaku opened his eyes. "Yes?"

"Orochimaru-sama is here."

"Send him in."

Gritting his teeth, he stood up to greet the extremely pale man. One of the things he hated was to be able to maintain his calm in front of people like Orochimaru. He always played dirty in business and he didn't hesitate to resort to murder. Orochimaru was a very dangerous man, but even the most dangerous and heartless men had their own weaknesses. And Fugaku didn't want to waste any time in finding Orochimaru's.

Iruka leant back on the cushion and started dozing off. Usually he wouldn't take a nap but this was a special case. Everytime he saw Kakashi, this always happened. No sleep at night. Every time …

Wasn't he good enough? Wasn't he good enough for him? Apparently not, because if he had been enough, Kakashi wouldn't have cheated on him. With a nameless stranger nonetheless. Why!

Iruka had asked himself so many times yet he couldn't find the answer. He had tried to make it work, but it's so exhausting when you're the only one who tried. Kakashi wasn't helping him and it finally crumbled. It had been … five years? Six? He didn't know. He wanted to forget. He had to forget the white haired man soon or he'd never be able to move on with his life. Ever.

Iruka closed his eyes once more, before he drifted into deep sleep.

"Temeeeeeee…"

"What?"

"I'm starving …"

Sasuke only glanced up from his book for a while before he resumed to his reading. They were in the 'Sasuke's Sacred Room', as Shikamaru called it, when Naruto started to whine.

"Sasukeeeeeee …"

"You've just eaten twenty minutes ago."

"But, but, it's only one bowl and a half. It's not enough." An adorable pout made an appearance.

Twitch.

"Pleaseeeeeee?"

Sasuke had two choices in his hand. First was to give him what he wanted and second was to jump him on the spot. Being too cute had to be a crime, he decided. And spending more and more time with Naruto made him realize that the boy was completely oblivious to the charm he had. If there's anything that Sasuke wasn't immune of, it'd be Naruto.

"Fine. I'll come with you to the cafeteria. I don't think they have much ramen left though."

"Yay! Thank you, Sa-"

"On one condition."

"What condition?"

The smirk was back in full force. "I won't tell you now, dobe. Let's go."

Naruto should've been suspicious but Naruto was Naruto and when it came to ramen … let's just say that he'd regret it soon.

The cafeteria was full when they entered. Sasuke took his usual seat with Naruto in front of him. "What do you want to eat?"

"Miso ramen!"

"Two miso ramen." Sasuke said to the girl behind the counter from his seat.

"You can do that? I thought it's supposed to be self service." He whispered to Sasuke when he saw the girl nodded and started making his order.

"The rule only applies to mere people."

"I hate you sometimes." Naruto leant back against his chair.

After waiting in silence, the order came. And came also the time which Sasuke liked the most. The way Naruto's eyes would light up by the sight of the steaming bowl of ramen in front of him was so cute. Getting out of his den to see that sight was enough to make him not regretting his decision. Even with those fangirls fawning him, this sight was worth it.

"Do you want some, Sasuke?"

"Hn. Finish your meal, dobe."

Naruto was about to yell but decided against it. He knew Sasuke hated the cafeteria so for him to agree to come with him there was at least the thing he owed him. So he kept silent.

"Are you done yet, dobe?"

"Yeah, I'm done."

"Good. Now it's my time to collect the prize."

"Eh?" was all Naruto could say as Sasuke pulled him up and kissed him fully on the lips. In the cafeteria. In front of the whole cafeteria. Sasuke kissed him in front of the whole cafeteria!

Sasuke pulled away, then he looked into the confused cerulean eyes. "Let's go."

"Huh?"

Smirking, he pulled Naruto along behind him.

"WHAT DID YOU DO, TEMEEEEEEEEE!"

"Shut up, dobe."

"LET ME GO!"

"No."

Back inside the room, Naruto started freaking out while Sasuke watched in total amusement. The Uchiha was evil, evil!

"Now they all will think that I'm really your boyfriend and-"

"So?"

"Eh?" the cold tone that Sasuke used stopped him mid-sentence. "Don't you feel bothered by this?"

"Why should I? The more we show them the proof that we're together, the more they'll stop annoying me."

"Yeah, and then they'll start hunting me."

Sasuke shrugged. "That's your problem."

"YOU ARE MY PROBLEM, UCHIHA!"

"Whatever."

"Sasuke …"

"Yeah?"

"The lunch break is over. I have to go back to class."

"So?"

Naruto gritted his teeth. Sasuke was always like that. It seemed that he enjoyed seeing Naruto mad. This game had to end soon.

"I need you to go with me to my class, okay?"

"And why should I?"

"Because that's the least you could do after making me the target of your fangirls wrath!" finally he snapped.

"… Okay." Sasuke nodded. Naruto couldn't see the gear that turned inside his head yet seeing the look Sasuke gave him made him took a step back. Maybe accepting the deal was not such a good idea after all.

A/N : Orochimaru is here! Well, I can't find anyone to play the bad guy role better than him, so there he is. I love seeing Sasuke makes Naruto angry. It's so cute!
