A.N. PLEASE DON"T SHOOT. I am so SORRY that this took forever. There is no excuse (except maybe my new pool) for it being this late. Ya'll can thank Ace (solitare1) and Chicharo for this new chappie. BTW, i no own NAruto or anything associated except these words below this sentence.

I could've swore I had just fallen asleep when I heard the alarm go off. Getting up I moaned looking at the clock, it was time to get ready for school. I was tired because I had been up all night thinking about dobe's blue eyes. I was starting to think I had some major mental problems. Shaking my head, I went to get in the shower and get ready for school. I was not going to be late.

I took the long way to school, because in my rush getting ready, I had been left with extra time before school, but when I got there the school grounds was still practically empty except for the occasional teacher. Having nothing better to do, I sat down against a tree in the schoolyard and pulled out a book. I read until I felt someone sit down next to me. Looking over, I saw a kid I didn't really recognize. He was pale, with shaggy ink black hair, wearing a shirt that came to his midriff.

"Hey, I'm Sai." He smiled a big cheezy smile that looked totally fake. I nodded but he continued before I could say anything, "You're Sasuke right?"

"Yeah," I said confused, "I guess everyone knows my name because I'm new here." He shook his head.

"Maybe, but I learned your name from Naruto." I jerked up at the name, but since Sai smirked at me I looked back down and shrugged.

"That's nice." I said nonchalantly. He laughed softly.

"I knew it, you do like him." Looking up at him, I was startled.

"How did you know?" I freaked, I hadn't told anybody and I didn't even like to admit it to myself. He laughed outright,

"I didn't know, but thanks for telling me." I glared realizing what I had fallen for, but he shrugged and stood up,"Don't worry, your secrets safe with me. Anyways, you better get to class, the bell's about to ring." He started walking away. I got up quickly and rushed to be next to him.

"Why you? Why would you even ask that?" I found myself stumbling over my words, which is a rare thing for an Uchiha. He shrugged.

"Naruto talked about you in art class, told me everything, even about you watching him. He swears it's a city kid thing, but I'm originally from the city too, and I know it's not that." Sai turned to me smiling that cheezy grin. "Oh, and just in case you were wondering, he is gay." I swear I must've turned red, but I quickly regained my composure. I wanted to question Sai somemore, but suddenly the bell rang and kids, who I hadn't noticed before, started scrambling for classrooms. Sai smiled at me before heading off to a classroom on the left. I hurried to my homeroom.

Stepping in, I quickly scanned the room for a seat. One was next to Naruto, the other next to the kid who slept all the time, Shikamaru. Because of my encounter with Sai, I decided to sit next to the sleeping kid instead of Naruto. As I sat down, Naruto looked over at me, blue eyes confused. After 2 weeks of trying to be near him every chance possible, it might have been weird when I sat farther away. I smirked at his look, which instantly changed into an attempted glare, which wasn't bad when you're used to Uchiha glares. Kakashi started taking attendance, and the whole time he was calling out names, I swear I could feel Naruto's gaze on me, but everytime I looked at him, he seemed to be looking the other way. When Kakashi began teaching though, he layed his head on his desk, his eyes closed.

Shikamaru had woken up, and seen everything. He glanced lazily at Naruto, then at me. His eyes held a quisitive look, but I shrugged and began taking notes. Shikamaru followed suit, too lazy to really care about me and Naruto's situation.

"Ugh." I moaned banging my head against the locker. Ino walked over to me, her locker actually really close to mine.

"Whats wrong with you?" she asked flipping her hair.

"I don't know" I replied and continued banging. Actually, I knew what it was, it was Sasuke. For some reason, he hadn't sitten next to me when the oppurtunity presented itself. He's usually on me like white on rice, like mold on cheese, like an apple on a tree, like stink on a elephant. Ok scratch that last one. Ino giggled, then started talking.

"You've got a crush on someone don't you?" She asked. Just so happens that when she said that, Sasuke came up next to me to get in his locker. I didn't respond to Ino's question, instead resuming the headbanging. She must have taken that as a yes, because she then asked, "Who is it?!?!"

Sasuke glared at her, then looked at me, who was still ingnoring Ino and her questions. "Dobe, you're going to give yourself a headache." He stated before turning back to his locker.

"I know that Teme, maybe thats my plan." I growled at him. Suddenly Ino started giggling, whenever that happens I cringe. The blonde girl turned to me,

"Alright 'ruto-chan, I'll see ya later. Stop by the shop sometime." With that she ran off in the direction of the art room, probably hoping to see Sai. Sasuke glared at her back, as she ran down the hall, then shut his locker. Leaning up against it, he looked at me.

" 'ruto-chan? Do I even want to know?" I paused from the headbanging to shake my head. I didn't feel like talking, wanting the conversation to end. My attempt to continue the banging was stopped by a hand placed between my head and the locker. I glared at the hands owner.

"Sasuke-teme." I muttered pushing his hand away. He smirked at my words.

"Seriously though, you don't want a concussion." With that he walked off towards our next class, the bell ringing as he left. I stared at him, thinking about what had happened. Turning back to my locker, I fumbled with my lock for some time before opening my locker and digging out my books. I rushed towards class, hoping I wasn't late. I was late, I soon learned as I walked in the classrom to find most of the class staring at me. Genma sighed looking at me.

"Sit down Naruto........" He said. Nodding, I looked down, feeling the stares of my friends. I sat down next to Sasuke and placing my book on the table, I layed my head down on the table. Sasuke poked me gently in the shoulder. I would have minded more, but my head hurt. In response to his poking I opened my eyes and looked at him. Sasuke subtly took my hand under the table, I almost freaked before I realized he stuck something in my hand. Sasuke removed his hand and and began taking notes on Genma-sensei's lecture. I lifted my head up and looked in my hand to see what he put. It was two little red pills and a note. The note said,

"These are for the headache I know you have.

-Teme

PS. Good luck with detention."

Sighing, I subtly took the pills, before writing on the other side of the note. I stuck it in his backpack while he was distracted taking notes. The medicine he gave me did help with the headache. After class, I didn't even bother getting up because I knew Genma was going to make me stay anyways. After everyone flooded out, Sensei walked up to the desk I was at.

"Naruto, please tell me you have a good excuse for being late." Feeling better than before, having the headache gone, I said.

"Sorry Sensei, I forgot my locker code." I grinned at him. The stern look softened as Genma grinned.

"Alright Naruto. I won't give you dentention this time, you were only two minutes late." I nodded jumping up.

"Thanks Sensei." I waved as I left, leaving the classroom.

I went straight home after school, not sticking around to talk to anyone. When I got to the house, I unlocked the door and went inside. To my surprise, Itachi and Kisame where making out on the couch. They popped up as soon as I slammed the door shut. Itachi looked slightly embarrased, while Kisame looked quite pleased with himself. I chuckled on the inside, but on the outside kept my usual poker face.

"Hey Itachi, hey Kisame." I walked by them to the kitchen trying my hardest not to laugh. Throwing my backpack on the table, I opened the fridge and pulled out a pop. After I shut the fridge door, I picked my backpack up and started for my room.

Kisame was sitting on the couch, chuckling when I walked in, and Itachi was pacing in front of him. I continued towards my bedroom, Itachi followed me closing my door after he entered. He stood with his back slouched against the door, quietly waiting as I put my backpack on my desk and turned to him.

"Sasuke...." Itachi began, but I cut him

"Aniki, I'm not mad at at you. Heck, how can I be? The person I like is a guy too." I paused, chuckling audibly. "I just didn't think you would be uke." Itachi went three shades of red, before regaining his composure and glaring at me. Then something clicked.

"Wait, you're gay?" I nodded nonchantly, and unlike him, I kept my cool.

"At least you know, so you won't be surprised if you walk in on me and Nar.....some guy." Then I blushed realizing my slip. Why his name was there I didn't know. I think, no I know Itachi caught that, but luckily he let it go. There was an awkward silence before I tried to change the subject, rather unsubtly. "So, you and Kisame, huh?" Itachi nodded before smiling slightly. Then he smirked.

"Dad would've had a cow if he had known that both his sons were gay." I laughed, nodding, then slightly sobered up.

"Mom would have been fine with it, even tho she always wanted grandkids..." Itachi nodded in agreement.

"Yea, I think she would have been happy with Kisame too." Itachi said this smiling slightly.

"Kisame, I should've known, he's been around for a long time hasn't he?" I asked. I remember Kisame back before my parents died.

"He was my friend all thru middle school, high school, college, and now we work together. Yea, He's known us since you were little." Itachi answered. "All right, do your homework, we'll order something for dinner later." He added before leaving my room.

After he left, I turned to my desk, and sitting on the chair I opened my pop and started taking out my books. In the bottom of my bag, I noticed a small pice of paper. I pulled it out and read it,

Teme,

Thanks for the meds. They helped.

For your info I will not get detention

because the teacher happens to be friends

with my guardian. Anyways, I guess

I owe you ramen.

-Naruto

Smiling, I placed the note carefully in my desk, and began working on my homework.
