Chapter 7: Learning
Ding.
Dong.
"Sasuke, could you get that. I'm still showering."
Sasuke grunted putting his newspaper down on the coffee table and proceeded to open the door to welcome the unwanted guest. He was not surprised when he found a impassive Shikamaru at the door.
"Come in. Naruto is still showering."
Shikamaru followed a still mumbling raven inside the cozy condo and made himself comfortable in a leather couch opposite the Uchiha. He was glad that Naruto was no where the hearing range since he has an agenda that he wanted to clear once and for all at the glowering raven.
"I went to Ino yesterday."
"…"
"You might not remember her, but she's one of your fangirls."
Shikamaru watched any tale-tale sign of any form of shock from his silent companion. If there is any the raven sure did a good job hiding it. His face was still impassive and detach. Was he wrong in his assumption about the true character of the person in front of him? Can't be. He was 96 sure that the person in front of him was the same person he just saw in a photo when he visited Ino.
"Quit the act Uchiha. I know you're the real deal. I saw a photo of your elementary days yesterday. You didn't even change the slightest bit. Though I wonder how the hell Naruto didn't recognize you when you were his be…" Shikamaru sighed and shook his head as a sudden realization hit him. "…well Naruto is really an idiot and dense sometimes."
"…"
"Still not talking. I gave it to you Uchiha to have such balls to still look unaffected…"
"What do you want to do now?"
That ticked Shikamaru a bit but he was a patient man, well okay he was really lazy to brawl. "Why are you here? Why didn't you tell Naruto you are 'him'?"
"I'm here to help in a prank. Am I not?"
"That's not what I was saying Uchiha. Why the pretense?"
"I'm going to tell him…but not now. It's too early for that…I…we, still need to sort things."
Shikamaru eyed Sasuke warily, he didn't know why but the raven's words or maybe it was his tone pacified any doubts in him. He just wish that Naruto wouldn't be hurt in the end. "Just don't hurt him." 'Again.'
"Hey, Shika! You're early." Naruto brushed his still damp hair with his fingers at his directing his grin to his newly arrived visitor.
"Che how troublesome. Here." A bag was thrown towards the still grinning blond who caught with perfect accuracy. "What's this?"
"I can't find a girl for Sasuke to practice to. Rumor might spread before we even begin our plan, so you have to do for the mean time. Gambatte."
"What do you m…?" Naruto hurriedly fished for the content of the bag and was horrified to pulled a pair of blouse and skirt. "Oh, hell no!!"
"Ja ne."
"Bastard, get back here." Naruto wave both his hands in agitation as he ran towards a sprinting Shikamaru but the bastard was already outside the door after a loud click of the door.
Sasuke who was still baffled at their previous conversation sighed loudly when the irritated blond begun shouting all profanities at the top of his voice shaming even the people of hell. "I knew this wasn't going to work."
Naruto spun hurriedly towards the sighing raven and put his death glare into maximum power. "What the hell did you say bastard?"
"I said this wasn't going to work." Sasuke shook his head dismally and sighed again. "You won't even look like a girl even if you wear girls clothes."
"WHAT THE HELL BASTARD?!"
"You will look like a laughing stock."
Naruto cocked his fist in anger but refrain himself for inflicting a serious damage to the raven's face. Yes, he was really on the verge of doing a homicide this very moment but he still had his pride. "You're on bastard. Be ready to ogle me."
With that, Naruto sped towards their room carrying Shikamaru's goodies and hurriedly change. Curses were then heard inside the room as the blond badmouthed the poor designer of the skirt for making it too short for his liking. He glanced over his shoulder to look at his back. Well at least his back looks nice. He smirked at that. He wasn't teased and molested like hell in college for having a cute butt for nothing. Now for the blouse and…
"Damn, how do you put this fucking hair clip?"
Sasuke waited for the blond to emerged and was concocting different kind of insult he would throw to the blond when the blond showed himself. He was grinning ear to ear as he perfected his insulting monologue for the blond. He was eager to see the blond fuming face but to his shock, his happiness was short lived when the blond finally showed up in drag.
"So what do you have to say now bastard? Whahahaha." Naruto posed like a superhero as he pointed a finger at the raven. He was actually readying himself for the swarm of insult to be thrown at him by the raven but the insults never came. The raven was only staring back at him in shock.
"…"
"…"
"…"
"Oi, oi bastard say something." He was slightly blushing now at the heavy scrutiny Sasuke was giving him. Well, at least the raven wasn't throwing up or something, just in mental break down. "Oi. Oi."
Naruto move towards the raven, cursing the skirt for bouncing slightly with each step he took. He also really felt cool down there too which irk him the most. He wondered how girls move in this short skirt without showing the world their whole self. He now felt a sudden surge of respect to all the girls.
"Oi bastard. Say something."
Sasuke was in the verge of mental melt down as the blond sauntered towards him. What the blond haven't realize that he was walking in cat like manner as he tried hard to keep the skirt from rising up making a tinge of pink show on Sasuke's cheek as he painfully watched all of those things happening in front of him.
"Oi…"
"Your cute."
Naruto stopped on his track and his jaw dropped at the raven sudden confession. He was not prepared at that statement of praise especially coming from the most bastard person ever walked on earth. What would he say to that? Thank you, I do try to make myself pretty for you.
Inside, Naruto was panicking. His tiny brain was now working in full force. Sasuke on the other hand has now recovered from his fatal mistake and was now conditioning his old self not to blush and ogle.
"Dobe, are we going to continue or what?"
Naruto brain stopped panicking to process Sasuke's words. "Oh, you were just practicing."
"Surely dobe. What? You think I'd compliment you? You want me to say you're beautiful for real."
"What? No, of course not. This is… this is just practice. Ne?" Naruto still feeling jittery from Sasuke 'fake' compliment sat himself near the raven. "Well, do you really think I'm pretty Sasuke?"
Sasuke almost blush when Naruto winked at him seductively. The blond is sure is going in character now, well two could play that game. "Yes, you are very pretty Naruto." He touched Naruto's cheek soothingly with his fingers.
Naruto felt shivers run down his spine when Sasuke touched him. He prayed hard to god that he wasn't blushing.
A soft smile broke on Sasuke face. "Dobe, don't fall for me yet. We're just practicing." His smile turned to leer.
Inside, Naruto whack himself on the head for not listening to the warning bells. He can't believe he fell for that. Sasuke was the devil, why can't he remember that? He was here to make him suffer for the next thirty years.
"Bastard. Don't say hurtful things like that to little 'ol me." He leaned towards the raven and flutter his lashes at him which made the raven gulped for air. Yes, a win for him. Take that bastard.
"Oh, I'm sorry. It's very rude of me. Please accept my apology." Sasuke smirked and clutched Naruto's hand and raised it to his lips. Naruto's eyes widen as Sasuke kissed his hand.
'Oh, your going down teme.' Naruto laughed maniacally inside as he leaned towards Sasuke as he touched his chest with other hand. "I'll only accept your apology if you give me something in return."
Sasuke was grinning from ear to ear. He knew what Naruto was planning and he will not lose to the idiot, pride be damn. "Anything." He brushed his hand through Naruto's blond hair and felt the blond shivers from his touch. Yes, his point. See if the blond can win that.
Naruto gritted his teeth at the grin Sasuke was giving him. The bastard knew he was winning, but Naruto was a steadfast opponent. He'll win no matter what. He leaned on the raven's right ear and whispered huskily "Kiss me." 'take that you bastard.'
Naruto was doing a victory dance inside. It's only be a second till Sasuke freak out. What he didn't realize that a smirk was forming on Sasuke's lips as he was pulling away. He was preoccupied that he didn't realize that the raven leaned towards him too. Their noses merely touching. "You really want me to kiss you?"
Naruto felt Sasuke's breath mixing with his as he hyperventilates. Their lips nearly touching and it seems like Sasuke would not back down even if it means kissing him for real. Shit!
"…"
"…"
A loud cracking was heard signaling Naruto's resolve cracking. His mind was melting rapidly. A white flag was then raise to admit defeat.
"W-wha…whattt…n-no. BASTARD."
Sasuke smirked as Naruto pushed him off and run off towards the door while mumbling 'ineedtoseeShikamaru' over and over not realizing he was still running with a skirt and blouse.
Sasuke: one point. Naruto: zero.
