"You've gotta be joshing me, Iruka-sensai!" the blonde boy trashed his arms about, glancing back and forth towards his soothing teacher, and Mr. Sexy Uchiha beside him. This had to be a dream! No guy could be Juliet... He doesn't have boobs!
...Not to mention he doesn't LOOK like a girl at all! Last time he checked, he had a dick.
And it was manly and big (In his personal opinion)!
Kiba slapped his back and gave a grinning, "Congrats, Uzumaki! I knew you had it in ya!"
Naruto glared and turned towards his 'supporting' friend. "Shut the hell up, you ass!"
Iruka, once again, gave a unwanted sigh to fill the gap.
"Language, Naruto."
"But this is so-- UWAH!" Before the enraged Uzumaki boy could finish, he was suddenly pushed aside, which he fell because of his loose clumsiness, tumbled, and smacked dead-right into a nearby wall. And that moment, the blonde knew...
God was definitely NOT on his side today.
An average-height girl clutched a hand to her chest in an innocent manner, "This is not acceptable, sensai! Naruto is a BOY! What would the audience think in this state of performance?!" she tried to reason. Other fellow followers nodded in agreement.
"Now, now Ms. Haruno. There is hope! That's what make-up and costumes were invented for! The way Naruto's voice sounded, it was so angelic! The type of voice Juliet SHOULD have!" he explained, pointing a finger towards the ceiling; deep in his own little perfect imagination.
Kiba raised a brow. "Sounded like a desperate chick to me."
Iruka snapped away from his thoughts and turned to Kiba. "Oh, be quiet, you!"
"AHEM!"
All eyes turned to a certain blond boy (who really got stared at a lot) who gave a small glare towards everyone.
"Look, Iruka-sensai..." he began, "It's flattering that you choosed me to be Juliet and all, because of my good looks and all, but..."
"But...?"
The whiskered boy pointed a heated, tan finger towards an expressionless Uchiha, who had been standing on the same spot this whole time in silence.
..."No way! There's no chance in hell that I would be Juliet in your stupid play with... with HIM!"
"Hn."
"I mean, look at him! He's so lanky and pale! Like an uncooked chicken! Seriously, I don't know why you girls, especially someone so smart and sexy like you Sakura-chan, would even try to attach themselves to him! If anyone you should be fighting for, it should me! Naruto Uzumaki! Sexiest boy in Konoha High-- ARGH!"
"Woah, Uzumaki! Those girls are REEAALLY going at you! Nice punch, Ino!" Kiba called out.
As all the boys gathered around and watched Naruto get the living crap smacked out of him, Iruka called the awaiting Sasuke over.
"Uchiha-kun..." he smiled, "I know this may be kinda... difficult for you and Naruto, but I'm really counting on you both. This play means a lot to me, and I know Naruto may be a screw-up... and I know he can be a troublemaker... but I want you both to arrange study sessions on your lines every Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Am I clear?"
"Perfectly." the raven haired boy still gave no expression.
"Ah, good!" he connected his hands together in grace. "Oh, and about the kissing scene... Hm. We'll talk matters about that later." a light blush fount it's way on the adult's face. Sasuke gave a slight nod.
"Now, after I dismiss all the students, I'll talk to Naruto about meeting up with you tomorrow after school."
"Right."
Iruka slumped. "Lord, give me strength..." he looked up towards the ceiling and, for the hundredth time, gave an uneasy sigh.
--------------------
"I hate you." A glare.
"I'm hurt." A sarcastic smirk.
It wasn't that Naruto WANTED to be in the garden with a sadist bastard like the Uchiha, but he was FORCED to! Iruka was the reason the blonde boy got scot-free from all of his detentions, and the brown-haired man demanded Naruto to come here, otherwise he'd have to make them all up! And not even God could keep up on how long Naruto would be in that kind of tourture! And now... THIS! What did he do?! Was it because he cheated on the last math test, and he was being punished?
"Teme."
"Dobe."
"Don't call me that!"
"How about usuratonkashi?"
"Gyah!" The blonde began biting the fabric of his shirt to ease him down. The smirking Uchiha flipped through his script, not even once glancing at the teething blonde boy.
"I.Hate.You.So.Fucking.Much!" he gritted, slumping his back against the tree behind him. He wanted to go home, get some ramen in his stomach, and go to bed.
Sasuke finally looked at the idiot in front of him. "Look," he gave a cold stare, "It's not like I want to waste my time on an uncaring, idiotic loser, but I gave Iruka my word-"
He was cut off as the blonde boy pulled himself quickly up on his knees.
"Why did you agree?! This is all YOUR fault, then! We're here because of YOU!" the blonde pointed out the obvious.
The raven-haired boy rolled his oval eyes in annoyance.
"Must you be so loud and obnoxious?"
"Must you be stuck-up right bastard?!"
Naruto continued glaring at the pale boy, who was soothingly rubbing his temples. After Sasuke let out a groan, the whiskered faced boy turned away and looked down at his script. He felt himself become still... and he hated it. Just even thinking about Sasuke made him sick to his stomach.
"You ruined everything..." he whispered.
Sasuke gave a startled look (though he hid it well).
"What?"
Naruto balled up his hands into tight fists and leaned face-to-face towards the taller boy.
"I said you ruined EVERYTHING!" he screeched in hatred. Pure and total hatred. "You're the reason I didn't become Romeo! You're the one who ruined my only chance to get my kiss with Sakura! You're the one who ruined my life! With how Mr. Perfect you are! You get everything! And yet you're still not happy! You take your misery out on other people! Especially me! One day I'll get stronger than you, and I'll kick your ass! I'll finally prove I'm better than you! I'll prove-"
"You're wrong."
"Wha...?" Naruto began to freak. Never before had he seen the Uchiha look so stiff... so calm...
"You're wrong..." Sasuke repeated, looking down. "I don't get everything I want. The one, most precious thing I wanted in the world... I could never get."
The blonde gave a confused look as he felt two hands on his shoulders, and he finally saw the elder boy's face. His blue eyes widdened as he saw the raven-haired boy glare harshly.
"Why do you like her?!" Sasuke asked in a dangerously low tone.
"Ngh!" Naruto winced as he felt the fingers around his shoulders tightened. 'S-Sasuke! What the hell!? Get off, you're hurting me, bastard!"
"Why?!"
"Why what?!"
Sasuke gripped even tighter. "What the hell do you like Haruno?!"
"S-Sakura?" Naruto asked, pushing the taller boy away and standing up. "You have serious issues, man! Guys like girls! That girl I happen to like is just Sakura! What the hell does that have to do with anything?!"
"She doesn't like you."
Naruto huffed. "And she likes you, but you obviously don't like her back! But she still hasn't given up on you. She still tries so hard to get your affections. And I've learned from being alone all my life is that if you want something so bad, then go for it. And that's just what I'm doing!"
As the two glared eachother down, Sasuke was the first to retreat; smirking as he leaned against a nearby tree.
"Hn."
Naruto felt his small brow twitch.
"Go for it..." the Uchiha whispered to himself. He looked up back at Naruto and rolled his eyes.
"You really are a dobe."
Naruto felt himself flush. "I HATE YOU!"
"Stop whining and sit. We have work to do."
And after much complaining and arguing, Naruto finally gave in and sat down, looking through his script and trying to remember his lines, no matter how uncomfortable it was going into a girly voice. But (surprisingly) soon after precious time, the blonde boy began to feel rather comfortable and reasonable with it, and began to tease the now angered Uchiha. After for what seemed like several hours later, Sasuke looked up.
"It's getting late."
Naruto batted his eyelashes. "Isn't it romantic watching the sunset together, darling sugar plump?" he asked sweetly. He laughed at his victory when Sasuke growled and threw a stick at him.
"Stop it." Sasuke demanded. Naruto glared.
"Oi, you stupid teme! You can't tell me what to do! Besides, who the hell would want to watch the sunset with you? You'd probably turn into a blood sucking vampire or something!" the blonde made a dramatic 'eek' sound as seen in the movies. He glared harder as he felt the Uchiha give another 'I'll kill you' look.
"Alright, alright. We're almost done with Act One... Damn. Why are these lines so hard to memorize? Oh..Wait... Because I was so certain I would be Romeo that I studied most of HIS part's!" Naruto rocked his head back and forth. "Poor, helpless me!"
Sasuke crossed his arms, giving a casual and familiar smirk.
"Iruka did say I have natural talent to play Romeo's part."
Naruto cocked his head. "Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Fuck you, Uchiha."
Sasuke's face gave a husky look. "No. Fuck you, Uzumaki." he murmured.
The blonde stood up and stretched, ignoring the last comment the raven haired boy directed back at him. "Mmn... Well, better guess I should head home. The old hag will break me in half if I'm late for dinner again." he was saying this to himself.
The raven-haired boy pulled himself to his feet, grabbing his textbooks and neatly placing them inside his school bag.
Remembering and giving a sudden 'Oh yeah!' Naruto leaned down and cramped and stuff his belonging's inside his own bag. Sasuke rolled his eyes before slanting his schoolbag onto his shoulder. Naruto just dragged his against the ground.
"Well, hopefully Wednesday doesn't come TOO soon. Being with you... Well, let's just say I'd rather kill myself or marry a goat instead."
Sasuke frowned. "Same here, dobe."
The blonde narrowed his eyes towards the graceful Uchiha. "I told you to STOP calling me that, bastard!" he snapped.
"A dobe is a dobe." the raven-haired smirk.
--------------------
"And then he was like... a dobe is a dobe! GOD! I want to smash his face into a PULP!"
Kiba grinned to himself as he looked at his blonde friend, who seemed more aggrivated by the sexy Uchiha than usual.
"So... I take it the study date went well?"
The tattooed boy got a harsh and deadly glare in reply.
As Naruto finished throwing his bag into the locker, he locked it tight and threw his shirt on. After feeling his shirt cling to his skin, he walked with Kiba out of the lockers and towards their Theatre class, which, of course, was now the blonde's most hated of all classes.
"Hm. I wonder."
"Hunh?" the whiskered boy turned towards his companion walking beside him. "Wonder what?" he questioned.
Kiiba looked Naruto in the eyes. "Why do you and Uchiha hate eachother so much? You both used to be best friends when we were in elementary. I remembered he was the only one who would play with you during recess."
Naruto turned away in an instant. Of course he remembered, but he didn't like bringing it up.
"H-How the hell should I know? What's in the past is in the past, Dog-Breath. Let it go." he said.
However, Kiba didn't give up. He was so curious about this now, after all.
"But, think about it. You have to remember. You two were inseperatable then, and now... I mean, I just started hanging out with you during the beginning of middle school, along with Shikamaru, Choji, and Lee. I never seen you with Uchiha when we started hanging out."
Naruto gritted his teeth. "I said drop it, Kiba."
"But-"
"Fucking God, just DROP IT!"
Naruto froozed as he realized where they were. In Theatre class... were everyone was now staring at him... He gave a nervous laugh and he tried explaining to everyone (who still thought he was weird) that he cheated on a game and Kiba was trying to make him admit it. Soon enough, everyone around shrugged their shoulder's in an uncaring manner and turned back to what they were assigned to do.
The first person he noticed, though, was a certain pink haired girl.
"Sakura-chan!"
Kiba sighed as he watched his idiotic friend prance towards the green-eyed girl, who was helping Ino with the curtains.
"Sakura-chan! Sakura-chan!" the blonde chanted to himself, forgetting how embarassed he just was a few seconds ago. Seriously, the pink-headed girl was a tension-relief towards the whiskered faced boy.
"Good morning, Sakura-chan. You look incredibly pretty this fine day." he flirted, snaking an around around the taller girl's neck. He grinned.
Sakura glared suddenly and quickly pushed the boy off. "Don't touch me." she threatened.
Naruto blinked. "Umm... Sorry?"
"It's your fault I didn't get the part for Juliet. I could've been with my Prince Charming, finally!" she gloated towards herself, imagining what life could be like from now on with her and her 'Prince Charming'.
The blue-eyed boy scratched his head in complete confusion. She was talking about him, right?
Well... So he thought...
The the bonde glared as his tiny brain finally realized who exactly she was talking about.
"Sasuke?!"
"Of course." Sakura licked her bottom lip.
"Why would you want Sasuke to be your Prince Charming?! He's a total bastard! I could be your Prince Charming, Sakura-chan! I could sweep you off your feet! I could give you the world!" he promised. Sakura stared at him wide-eyed. And she frowned, before letting a small gust of air escape her throat.
"Listen, Naruto..."
Before Sakura could explain, a high voice interrupted their conversation.
"Sakura! I need help over here!" Ino called.
"Coming!" Sakura said, and she gave Naruto one last look before scurrying towards her friend.
The now isolated blonde slumped his head as he turned back and walked towards his friend's, who greeted him when he sat.
"How'd it go?" Kiba asked eagerly.
"Do I need to say?" Naruto groaned, letting his chin rest against the palm of his tanned hand. "She's still into Sasuke bastard."
"Troublesome." Shikamaru comforted.
"Do you want some chips, Naruto?" Choji held out his bag, but the blonde shook his head.
"No, he wants to smack the crap out of Uchiha, because he misses their friendship!" Kiba lied.
Naruto grabbed Kiba by the head and started shaking him.
"I DO NOT!"
And it was... absolutely true.
--------------------
"Cocky ass!"
"Again with the name calling?"
"It makes me feel better, and it's fun. Not that a stupid bastard like you would understand what fun is."
"Moron..."
Wednesday came too early for the uncompassionate blonde boy, though it was only two days away from their last encounter. And whenever he was with the raven-haired boy, he was always in an agressive and terrible mood. And the last scene with the strawberry haired girl he'd been crushing on was not making his presence with the Uchiha any better than last time.
Naruto huffed. "Let's just get to work, okay? The sooner we memorize our lines, the faster I don't have to see your pretty boy face anymore!"
Surprised by the sudden comment, Sasuke lifted his head up; his dark bangs sleeping against his face.
"You think I'm pretty?"
Naruto rolled his azural eyes. "Psh, everyone knows you're pretty, Sasuke. What's the big deal if I call you it? You hear it every second of your life. Hell, even in yoru dreams! What difference does it make if I call you it?"
A smirk made it's way up the Uchiha's lips. "Nothing. I just thought... You of all people, dobe."
As both boys stared at eachother in moral silence, the blonde boy felt his cheeks begin to heat up. And he hated that.
"Whatever, stupid teme." he grumbled.
"You don't have to be so modest about it." the other cooled in a teasing matter, which just pissed off the already mad blonde more.
Naruto ignored his arch rival and turned the page on the script, "Hmm..."
"O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied?"
Naruto looked towards the person who said those lines, and he lowered his head head towads the script.
"What satisfaction canst thou have tonight?"
"The exchange for thy love's faithful vow for mine."
For some reason this time, Naruto let his voice fall down to how he really sounded, instead of his disguise that led him to have the part of Juliet.
"I gave thee mine before thou didst request it..."
And, once again, silence fell all around them as they glanced up at eachother. Naruto wanted to know what the hell was wrong with him. Why did his voice just do that, and why did he sound so... so...
...Sad?
All of a sudden, Naruto felt sick.
The blonde stood up. "H-Hey. I know it's early and everything, but I'm going to head home. I have... stuff to do." he gave a nervous smile; hoping the other boy would buy his false lie.
But...as everyone knows...
Sasuke wasn't stupid. He knew Naruto remembered when he read those lines... when THEY read those lines together. And it was breaking through to them.
"Alright, dobe."
Naruto nodded. "Alright, then... Um, bye?"
As he watched the scattered boy walk away, Sasuke couldn't help but give a smirk.
"Dobe, that voice really does make you sound like a desperate woman."
"WHAAAT?!"
Sasuke leaned against his usual tree and smiled.
Yup. That's better.
