Hello! Here is the next chapter! I apologize if it's a little long! Please, leave a review and tell me what you think!
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto and some gay stuff is gonna happen, alright.
Smack.
The punch made a sickening, solid sound that echoed throughout the classroom, silencing everyone in it. Naruto gritted his teeth as the humanoid dropped him in his surprise, hissing in pain as his bruised back hit the floor. Quickly, he rolled over and up into a kneeling position, unable to stand fully with his throbbing back. Looking up at the humanoid, Naruto's head swam and his voice came out breathy,
"And that was the feeling of my fist. And you want to remember the feeling, because if you ever get the urge to try that shit again, you'll be feeling it."
Sasuke stared down at him, left hand clutching his jaw thoughtfully. Naruto's eyes narrowed furiously, his right hand felt like it was broken and the bastard didn't even look perturbed. The humanoid nodded his head slightly, like he was thinking,
"So…that approach didn't work."
Rage swelled in his chest, lifting him up into a standing position. His head swam, dots filling his vision. Naruto blinked them away, licking his lips,
"Any approach won't work. And you try anything else, and it'll be the last thing that you do."
"Naruto!" Sakura gently scolded her hand still on Kiba's mouth.
"No, I mean it Sakura." Naruto snapped, looking at her furiously, "I'm not in the mood for this shit."
Sakura gasped, jade eyes widening in shock and concern. Naruto clenched his jaw, realizing his mistake. He looked away quickly and reached down, snatching his book sack up off the ground.
"Whatever." He muttered, walking towards his desk.
As he passed, Sasuke's hand shot out, grabbing his arm. Snarling, Naruto flung down his book sack and spun around, throwing a punch. Sasuke caught it with his free hand.
"What the fuck did I just say?" Naruto growled, trying to jerk his hand out of Sasuke's grip.
"Shut up." Sasuke ordered his voice dangerously quiet.
Naruto's outraged retort caught in his throat at the look on Sasuke's face. Letting go of Naruto's hand, Sasuke cupped Naruto's face with a gentleness that surprised the blonde. Sasuke swallowed, face the picture of concentration, and softly, he brushed one thumb across Naruto's cheek, crossing the border where tan skin turned to purple. The other thumb ghosted over Naruto's lower lip, where pink turned into blood red.
"What happened?" Sasuke demanded, not taking his eyes away from Naruto's bruised face.
Shame squeezed Naruto's heart and the words came shooting out before he realized what was happening.
"I got in a fight, Bastard, alright?" He said, trying to make his voice angry. For some reason, the thought of letting Sasuke know that his boyfriend had given him these bruises filled Naruto with shame.
Reaching up, he grabbed Sasuke's wrists and gently pushed them away from his face. Stepping out of Sasuke's reach, he once again picked up his discarded book sack,
"I'm sorry you waited all this time to see me, but I'm saying no. No to whatever you were hoping to get out of this, no to any kind of relationship." Naruto said quietly, before turning around and walking to his seat. Slinging his book sack over the chair, Naruto sat down heavily and laid his head down on the table.
"Naruto!" Sakura started once again, but Kiba silenced her with a soft smack on the thigh.
"Leave him alone for the rest of the day." Kiba said, after gently peeling Sakura's hand from over his mouth. "And that goes for everybody, got it lover-boy?"
Sasuke, who hadn't moved, glared over at Kiba and then looked towards the blonde, who lay there, completely still and ignoring them; shooting Kiba another glare, he nodded begrudgingly.
Naruto listened to all this, smiling to himself. He could always count on Kiba. Then the door opened, and the class erupted into the squeaking and squealing of chairs as they were pulled out and sat on. The deep voice of Mr. Asuma rang out into the classroom,
"Ms. Haruno, who is this?"
"This is Sasuke Uchiha, sir. He's shadowing me for the day."
Mr. Asuma gave a noise of understanding and then dove right into their lesson. Naruto's smiled faded and he nuzzled his head deeper into his arms, trying to ignore his throbbing hand and back.
"So that went horribly." Kiba said, breaking the group's silence.
It was lunch time and Naruto was nowhere to be found. The group dejectedly nodded their heads in agreement.
"What happened, exactly?" Neji asked, unwrapping a sandwich very carefully.
"Lover-boy over there-," Kiba gestured to Sasuke who glowered at him, "dips Naruto, tells him to remember his name cause Naruto was going to be screaming it later, earns himself a punch to the jaw-How is that by the way?"
Kiba broke off his narrative to ask. Sasuke merely glared and Kiba grinned at him, dipping a spoon into his tupperware of potato salad,
"Hurts don't it? Bet that shocked the hell out of you, he's strong…." Kiba mused.
"Kiba!" Ino whined, reaching across the table, slapping his hand, "continue!"
Kiba grinned at her, taking another bite of salad before continuing,
"Then Naruto said no to any type of relationship and laid his head on his desk for the rest of class."
The group sat in silence, mulling over this information for a few seconds before Shikamaru spoke up,
"So, what are you going to do now? Stay in Konoha or move or…?"
Neji cleared his throat, wiping his mouth with a napkin, "There's a problem about that. You see, Sasuke's saying that he's going to-"
"-move." Sasuke cut Neji off without looking at him.
Shikamaru furrowed his eyebrows wearily, "move where?"
"Naruto's apartment." Neji stated, giving his friends a pointed, "help me" look.
"What?!" Sakura and Ino screeched together, drawing glares to their table.
Kiba jerked a thumb at them, "what they said! Didn't you hear Naruto this morning?"
Sasuke scoffed, taking a sip of Coke, "Don't worry, I know his type."
It was Kiba's turn to scoff, ""his type?" You've been alive for what, four days now? How could you know anything about types?"
If looks could kill, Kiba would've been six feet under.
"For your information, you imbecile, when people kiss me, I instantly get information about their "type". Sakura, for instance, likes bad boys. Ino likes smart boys but pretends to like bad boys. Neji likes it rough and you…you act like you're a top, but in fact, you're a bottom. You want to be dominated."
Kiba's cheeks flamed as the table erupted into laughter. Standing up, pushing up his sleeves, Kiba growled,
"Listen, you-"
"Sit down." Shikamaru ordered, trying to hide his grin, "we've got bigger problems than if you're a top or not."
Kiba sat down, grumbling the entire time. Tremors of laughter running through him, Shikamaru turned back to Neji and Sasuke.
"What is Naruto's type?"
Sasuke's eyes narrowed, "why do you need to know?"
Shikamaru raised his hands in surrender, "hey, hey, I don't want him."
"Then you don't need to know." Was Sasuke's curt reply.
Shrugging, Shikamaru turned to Neji, "How are you going to get him to agree?"
"Wait, wait, wait." Kiba interrupted, waving his hand, "you support this?! Naruto fucking hates the dude!"
"I believe that for every single person in this group with the exception of Sakura, Naruto claimed to hate us when he first met us." Neji pointed out calmly.
Kiba opened his mouth to contradict Neji, and then wilted as he remembered his first time meeting Naruto. Naruto had called him "dumb-butt" and then tried to smother him by sitting on his head until their parents came to get them. Kiba sourly eyed the humanoid as he sipped his coke, calmly looking out into the lunch room and ignoring the stares and whispers. He wanted desperately to hate him, but he couldn't get over the feeling that maybe…Sasuke would actually be good for Naruto.
He huffed, crossing his arms, looking pointedly away from the group.
"…so...are you in?" Ino asked.
"In what?" Kiba narrowed his eyes, "we're not some fucking gay match-making club now."
Ino just stared at him, her expression not changing from the hopeful little smile and Kiba growled, rubbing his face.
"Why do I feel like I'm going to regret this? Fine, I'm in."
"Are you shitting me? No fucking way!" Naruto screeched incredulously, staring at the trio of boys. They had managed to corner Naruto by the school gates on his way out. He was not taking the news well.
"I thought he was staying with you?" Naruto turned accusingly to Neji.
Kiba watched Neji nervously, Neji was useless at lying. Wringing his hands, Neji swallowed hard,
"He can't anymore."
"Why the hell not?" Naruto growled out, crossing his arms.
There was a moment of panic as Neji floundered for an excuse. Then Kiba got an evil idea.
"Because Sasuke cried at night." Kiba said, shooting Sasuke a grin as the raven glared at him from the corner of his eye.
"What?" Naruto deadpanned, staring at Kiba, anger temporarily forgotten.
"He cried because he wanted to meet you so badly."
Naruto shot Sasuke an appalled look, inching away from the raven,
"Oh, well if that just doesn't make me want to get the fuck away from him."
"Please, Naruto." Neji said, trembling with the effort of holding in his laughter, "we can't sleep at night with the sound of his crying. And father has important guests coming to stay. After they leave, he can come back with us."
Kiba snuck a glance at Sasuke and had to bite the inside of his cheek to keep from laughing. The raven was no longer looking at them, only staring into the distance, his cheeks dusted with a blush.
"And he can't…?" Naruto turned pleading eyes towards Kiba.
"No, dude, mom would kill me. And he can't stay with the girls." Kiba lied smoothly, feeling terrible for lying and taking advantage of Naruto's kind nature. Three, two, one.
"Fine!" Naruto burst out, lunging forward and grabbing Sasuke by the collar, "but if you try any funny shit, I'm kicking your ass. Got it?"
Sasuke stared down at Naruto, amusement in his black eyes, "hn."
Naruto's eyes narrowed, "what the fuck does that even-…" Naruto released Sasuke, holding up a hand as he closed his eyes and breathed deeply.
Opening his eyes, he pointed at Sasuke, "I hate you." Then he rounded on Kiba and Neji, "and both of you owe me big time."
And without waiting for Sasuke, he turned on his heel and stormed off. Sasuke hung behind for a few seconds, watching Naruto walk, before smirking and following after.
"Listen, can you not walk behind me?" Naruto whipped around, exasperated. They had been walking on the sidewalk for ten minutes now in complete silence and it was creeping him out. He felt like he could just feel the raven's eyes on him.
Sasuke looked at him coolly, "why?"
Naruto scowled, "I feel like you're staring at my ass or something."
Sasuke raised his eyebrows, smirking, "getting a little full of yourself, aren't you."
Naruto bristled as Sasuke walked past him, sticking his hands in his pockets,
"Yes, how preposterous for me to think that, considering that it was only this morning that you told me I'd be screaming your name." He yelled after him.
Sasuke shrugged, smirk growing, "that doesn't mean I'm looking at your ass." he called back over his shoulder.
"Oh fuck you." Naruto seethed, stomping to catch up with the raven.
"No, I believe its fuck you."
Anticipating the punch, Sasuke side-stepped Naruto's fist, huffing out a breathe of laughter at Naruto's howl of frustration.
They walked in silence the rest of the way, side by side. When they reached the apartment complex, Naruto made Sasuke walk up the stairs first. Then, when they reached his door at the very end of the hallway on the third floor, he unlocked it. Stepping in, he undid his tie, taking off the school's blazer. Slipping out off his shoes, Naruto waited until Sasuke had done the same before begrudgingly taking him on a tour.
"This is my apartment, yes I live alone, no you can't ask why." Leading Sasuke through the hallway, they took a left into another hallway, this one containing the bedrooms and bathroom. "This is the guest bedroom, or your room, and this is my bedroom."
Naruto motioned to the orange door that he stood in front of, arms crossed defensively over his chest, like he expected Sasuke to attack him at any minute.
"Now just…go into your room and stay there."
Sasuke cocked an eyebrow, "What are you, my dad? That's pretty kinky, Naruto."
A chill ran up Naruto's spine at the sudden huskiness of Sasuke's voice. Glaring at him, arms tightening around his torso, Naruto spat,
"Jesus, don't you have an off button?"
Sasuke crossed his arms, leaning against his bedroom door, and gave Naruto a pointed once over.
"You trying to turn me off? I don't think that's possib-"
The next punch, Sasuke hadn't seen coming.
