uChapter: 6 Rumours/b
bNaruto's point of view/b
Sunday morning 8am. I refused to sleep anymore, not that I had slept at all. Aian had been worried about me all night since I didn't tell him why I sent all home. If I knew Aian right he was probably sleeping on the floor outside my room, or on the couch.
I didn't want to go out of bed, I just wanted to lay here… thinking… NO, I wouldn't lay here thinking about Sasuke and feel bad. No, I shouldn't feel bad at all… Sasuke had been avoiding me now, he hadn't even called me! There are more than one person in a relationship.
Quick as the wind I jumped out of the bed and onto the floor, I locked up my door and went out into the living room, as I'd thought. Aian was soundly asleep on the green couch.
I went into the bathroom and took a shower. I would NOT sit inside being sad and heartbroken. I regretted calling of the party last night so now I'd go out and hang out with friends, something I'd not have the chance to when I was with Sasuke.
When I came into the living room again, Aian was sitting on the couch, looking at me like he hadn't slept in years.
"Sorry, did I wake you up?" I asked as I threw the blue towel on a chair.
"No, I just woke up," Aian blinked several times before rubbing his eyes and yawned. I looked around, well the house needed cleaning, that was a fact.
"Why don't you go sleep in my room and I'll clean up this mess?" I requested for Aian. He yawned again.
"I don't want to be in the way, I can help," He said and got up on his two feet, but he had consumed alcohol so he wasn't actually steady, and I think he would be more of a help if he was sleeping in my room.
"Go sleep Aian," I commanded him and pointed towards my room. "I hope you don't mind sleeping in my sheets," I said but he only waved his hand as iit's okay/i or iI don't mind/i and left me.
I looked at the floor, everything was quite messy and suddenly I regretted having the party at all.
--
I spent 3 hours cleaning and taking out the trash, not that I rushed, In the middle of it all I'd eaten breakfast, watched some TV, gotten dressed and checked on Aian every now and then.
When I finally had finished cleaning it was time for lunch, and I probably should get something for Aian too. I went out and bought some take-away-ramen.

I'd spent time with Aian all Sunday, not caring about anything. Monday morning I went to school, meeting Sasuke…
I opened the classroom door, Sasuke wasn't in his seat. My seat was of course, right beside Sasuke's. I sighed as I sat down rolling my eyes over the classroom. Ino was looking at me, I wondered why. But then she suddenly turned away when the door opened again, this time it was the raven haired boy I'd loved. The one who'd broken my heart. Sasuke Uchiha. He looked at me and froze for a bare second, then he moved again and sat down at the desk beside me. Of course I'd liked it if he got up and sat as far away from me that he could, I wouldn't do it, I got my pride.
I felt eyes on me all day. I caught Sakura staring at me like I was some sort of creep.
I dragged myself through 2 hours. When Iruka-sensei came in for the 3rd class I raised my hand and excused myself, I couldn't take the stares anymore… When I was out of the school I ran as fast as I could to Aian.
When Aian saw me his eyes widened. I rolled my eyes.
"What's wrong with me Aian? Why do you keep staring at me?" I growled.
"Sorry, but it looks like you haven't slept in months," He bit his lip.
"Oh that explains it," I sighed, "everyone glared at me in school today, I was about to turn mad!" I laughed.
"Why don't you go home to sleep Naruto?" he said and smiled caring at me.
"No… It's not possible," I said carefully.
"It's because of Sasuke right?" Aian said, I felt my ears heat up.
"How dare you even say that name, IT'S NOT because of Sasuke, not at ALL!" I shouted. A customer who sat beside me moved several feet away.
"Please don't frighten our customers Naruto…" Aian sweat dropped while whispering.
"Sorry, but I get furious when I hear that jerk's name, Sasuke Uchiha…" I growled.
Tuesday I skipped school. I didn't want to face the Uchiha or the stares of my classmates. Of course there may be some rumours about me and Aian, going out behind Sasuke's back, and him finding out and dumping me. There where several rumours but I think that rumour was the most exact one.
I knew I really had no reason to be mad at Sasuke, but I just had to express what I was feeling in some way. I had no idea how to express this… guilt.
Tuesday night, Aian and I was home at my place, just hanging out. It was my birthday, but I couldn't careless about it.
"Happy birthday Naruto," Aian said as he pulled out a bottle of Sake for his little bag.
"How funny, getting Sake at my 17th birthday," I laughed, "Shall I get some glasses?" I asked him.
"If you really want to spill this good bottle on me," He chuckled and but the bottle on the table.
"Who else, you think I shall call Sakura and the girls gang?" I joked.
"Nooo, drunk girls are just pathetic," Aian booed.
"HAH!" I sorted.
I put the glasses on the table and let Aian pour sake into them.
"Let's cheer for you Naruto," Aian raised his glass high.
"For me, no… what about our friendship?" I said.
"For this great bottle of Sake then?" Aian snorted.
"Sure," I agreed and clinked the glass into his.
There were many cups, and the conversation only got more and more interesting for every cup. But I had no alcohol tolerance at all. I'd stayed away from alcohol 'till the late days of mine and Sasuke's relationship.
"And that was how I and my grandmother changed socks on the goat!" Aian ended a long story about him and his beloved granny.
"Why would a goat need socks?" I wondered.
"Well, it's cold in the winter, and if we don't change them he may get sick," Aian giggled.
"Oh?" I hiccupped.
"Yeah," Aian grinned a charming smile.
For a moment, Aian seemed like the thing I needed right now. A supporting friend! I placed a hand on his cheek and moved towards him carefully, there was something flickering in his eye. And before I knew it we were making out. I had my arms around his neck, pulling him close to me. He was holding around my waist burying his fingers into my shirt.
Right now Aian was my support, he was the one making me feel like I was loved.
I started to fumble with Aian's shirt, un-buttoning it button after button, but when I'd just finished the last button… he made a hard grip onto my shoulder and pushed me off the couch. I went backwards onto my head on the hard floor.
"What the hell?" I growled, looking up at Aian who was looking at me seriously.
"No Naruto, I am not going to do this with you," he said serious as the grave.
"Why not?" I was frustrated.
"Because, you just broke up with your boyfriend, and I, I already have someone I love," Aian buttoned his shirt. What Aian had a lover?
"What? And you didn't tell me?" I felt a bit out, not knowing about this.
"Yes, in the matter of fact… I am going to marry that person," Aian was still serious. Cold went down my back, this… my bestfriend hadn't told me?
