Chapter 2: Flashback
Flashback
A couple months after Neji had left, Sasuke had been somewhat depressed. But he was getting over it faster then he had expected. Itachi kept him busy a lot and he had already been on dates with other guys, just to get past it. But today..today would be different. Today would change a lot. The doorbell rang and Sasuke opened the door for a girl. A girl with long, black hair. She was really pretty, Sasuke noticed. "Hello." He said. "What can I do for you?" Something about this girl interested him.
"Hey." She said. With a strangely low voice. For a girl. "Can I perhaps use your phone?"
"Oh err...yeah? For what?" Sasuke asked. Huh? How come she talked so low? And what did she need a phone for?
"One of the tires of my car is flat." The girl said. "So I need to call some people who can get my car out of here and repair it."
"Oh. Well you know what, I can do that for you. I've worked at a car repair, so I know what to do. Walk with me." Sasuke said and walked outside with his keys. He was interested in this girl..but he was still gay. Right? This was weird.
"Really?" The girl asked. "Thanks. I'm Haku by the way." She followed Sasuke.
"I'm Sasuke. Nice to meet you." Sasuke said and smiled at her. Wait, where were her boobs? No boobs either? And a low voice? Sasuke studied the girl some more. She did have a feminine body..so it must be a girl. Or...wait hold up...what was that in her pants? A bulge? Was she a...he?
Haku caught Sasuke looking and cleared 'her' throat.
"I'm a boy yes." He said.
Sasuke looked at him and then started blushing. "Oh hehe, well err...yeah..I can see that." He said and started to laugh nervously. Holy fuck, that must be the prettiest boy Sasuke had ever seen. If you liked the feminine type. And Sasuke did. Especially the ones with long hair. Loooong pretty hair...'Stop now before you drool.' Sasuke thought to himself and then coughed a little before he started walking to the garage again.
Haku giggled a bit.
"You liar." He said, obviously being interested in Sasuke too.
"Just...tell me which tire it is." Sasuke said, still red. This was embarrassing. And what was with that adorable giggle? He was not just gonna let this guy drive off.
"The right from the front." Haku said. "You look good when you're blushing. You don't have to, you know. Most people think that I'm a girl."
"Oh. Thanks. And well..yeah, you look like a girl. But I think that's good." Sasuke said and gave Haku a smirk, before hyped up the car. He then grabbed his tools and started working.
"Oh dear, are we having a seme here?" Haku said, giggling again.
"That should be just right for you now wouldn't it?" Sasuke said and smirked again. God, that giggly was amazingly cute.
"Sure it would." Haku said. "So what do you want back for this?"
"A date?" Sasuke asked. Now 'this' could work out. Haku was adorable and obviously gay. This might turn out well. Sasuke pulled off the tire now.
"I'd love to." Haku said, smiling at Sasuke.
"Good. Tell me when's the right time for you." Sasuke said as he opened Haku's car to get the spare tire and pulled it out.
"Tonight?" Haku asked with a smile, while he leaned against a wall.
"Tonight sounds good." Sasuke said and started putting the tire on the car. "What time? And I take it you can drive here, since you already know where I live." Sasuke smirked.
"Sure I can." Haku said, while looking at what Sasuke was doing. "Around eight?"
"Sure, sounds good. There. It's done." Sasuke said and stood up. He wiped his hands across his cheek, now having a black streak over it. "It's good to go." Sasuke picked up his tools and smiled at Haku.
Haku smiled back, while he wiped away the black streak on Sasuke's cheek.
"Thanks." He said.
Sasuke stared at Haku for a while and then smiled again. "No. Thank you." He said and then started smirking. "So eight it is." Damn, Haku looked frigging good. And he didn't mind that soft hand on his cheek either.
Haku nodded.
"Don't you have a boyfriend?" He asked all of sudden.
Sasuke looked at Haku surprised. What kind of question was that? He wouldn't ask Haku out if he had one. "No. Not anymore. Would I ask you out if I had a boyfriend?" Sasuke asked..
"I was just surprised about it." Haku said, shrugging. "It seems impossible to me that someone like you is alone." He giggled again, blushing a bit.
Sasuke smiled. GOD! Haku was the cutest boy he had ever seen. "Well thanks, but I am. And I could say the same thing from you." Sasuke said and smirked as he brought Haku's face closer by holding his chin.
"Thanks." Haku said, blushing even more. "But I have to say no to that kiss, I'm not really fast with giving things away." Haku stroke some of his own hair out of his face, while smiling at Sasuke.
Sasuke laughed. "That's nice. Make me crave for it hm." He said and let Haku go with a smirk. "I like that."
"I'll let you work for it." Haku said, smiling. "So I'm curious how you're going to do it, but I'll see it tonight right?" He winked now, while he got his keys, from where he had put them into his pockets.
Sasuke smirked even more. "Oh you'll see." He said and then crossed his arms. "See you. Tonight."
Haku smiled while he stepped into his car.
"See you tonight." He said, smiling once more and then he closed the door. He waved to Sasuke and then drove backwards, so he could drive away.
Sasuke waved a little too before returning to the house with a smile. Tonight would be fun. And he was sure Haku would not just be a date. At all.
Sasuke was sitting on the couch. He had been busy all evening with looking his best. Haku was coming over. At eight. And it was now...almost eight. So it could be any time now. He hoped he could impress Haku enough. Haku was probably exactly what he needed. What he wanted too. At that moment the doorbell rang and Sasuke jumped up. He walked to the door and opened it. Haku was looking at him with his pretty eyes and pretty smile. Sasuke smiled back. "Hey. Come in. " He said.
Haku smiled and did as Sasuke told him to do, walking in. He put off his coat now.
"Hey." He said. "How have you been?" He was wearing simple jeans and sneakers, and a white top with.. a teddybear on it? He was also wearing a black choker around his neck, a simple one, without decoration.
"I've been good. And you? Did your car worked all the way?" Sasuke asked and smiled. A frigging teddybear. How cute. Haku was definitely the type he liked.
"Yeah it did, thanks to you." Haku said, letting out a small giggle again. "I'm fine."
"Good. Well err, do you want something to drink or eat?" Sasuke asked as he led Haku into the livingroom.
"Gladly." Haku said. "Can I have some juice?"
Juice. Of course. He should've known. "Sure." Sasuke said and smiled. He got into the kitchen and got some juice for Haku, some milk for himself. He then walked back and handed the glass to Haku. "So hey, where are you from anyhow?" Sasuke asked as he signed for Haku to sit down on the couch with him.
"Thanks." Haku said as he sat down. "Um, from this city?" He looked a bit confused. Where else from?
"Yeah but where? Since I never saw you. And I'm sure I would've noticed a pretty face like yours." Sasuke said and smirked again.
Haku blushed now, letting a hand go through his long hair.
"I'm living at the east of Konoha." He said. "I'm living with Zabuza, my adoption father."
"Ah." What was up with him? Did he have a thing for adopted kids or something? "Well that explains why I never saw you." Sasuke said and took a sip from his milk. His eyes though, stayed on Haku. He liked making boys like him nervous.
Haku blushed once more.
"Yeah, I never saw you too." He said. Then he looked around for a bit. "You have a nice house. Do you live alone?"
"No with my brother. But I scared him away so I could be alone with you." Sasuke said and gave Haku a seductive grin. God that blush was adorable.
"Are you letting me blush on purpose?" Haku asked, while trying to hide his red face.
Sasuke laughed a little. "Yes. You look adorable doing so." He answered and then stroke some of Haku's hair out of his face.
"That's mean." Haku said and giggled again. "So do you go to a school or are you working?"
"I go to school of course. I have worked part time, but I got sick of it. What about you? Oh no, never mind. You go to school of course." Sasuke said. There was no way in hell Haku was old enough to quit school and work.
"I'm studying at the moment." Haku said, smiling.
"Studying? Aren't you a little young for that?" Sasuke asked confused. How old was Haku? Fifteen? Maybe sixteen? How could he be studying already?
"How old are you?" Haku asked, giggling. "And you can guess my age, it's always fun."
"You're fifteen." Sasuke said and pointed at Haku. "Since I'm sixteen and you can't....wait? When did fifteen year olds start driving?!" Sasuke asked, surprised by his own found. What the hell?
Haku snorted. "I'm older." He said.
"How old?" Sasuke asked, prett much shocked. Haku was at least eightteen then, since he was driving. But what he hell, that just was not possible.
"I'm nineteen." Haku said, knowing that this would be quit a shock to Sasuke.
"No way!" Sasuke said. Nineteen! The boy was frigging nineteen! As in, three years older then Sasuke himself. That could not be right. "Are you sure?" Sasuke asked, looking at Haku confused.
Haku smiled as he handed Sasuke his identification card. It was funny to see those reactions.
Sasuke looked at it. There it was. Haku really was nineteen. And Sasuke still could not believe it. "You're so not nineteen! Wtf! If I saw you walking on the streets, I swear I would think you were a fifteen year old frigging girl." Sasuke said.
Haku looked at him and then looked away with a frown. Why did he had to be remembered about this every time? He knew he looked like a girl. But like a fifteen old 'frigging' girl? It didn't sounded like a compliment. More like Sasuke was offending him.
"Oh..shit...I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that...I mean..dammit.." Sasuke said. He and his big mouth. Haku was perfect for him and he offended him like it was nothing. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
"..I'm sorry." Haku said now and stood from the couch, walking towards the hallway again, to get his coat. If it was already starting like this, it wouldn't become something. Sasuke obviously didn't liked the fact that he was a nineteen year old guy who looked like a fifteen year old girl. He'd better leave.
Sasuke quickly stood up and walked after Haku. "I'm sorry. Please don't leave. I didn't mean it like something bad." Sasuke said and grabbed Haku's arms as he turned him around. Why was he always so forward?
"..Why does everyone hate my appearances so much?" Haku asked, with tears in his eyes. He hated it how he looked. He really did.
"I don't hate your appearances at all. I like them. A lot." Sasuke said and held Haku's face softly so he would look at him.
Haku looked back while a few tears left his eyes.
"..Then why did you say it like that?" He asked. "Y-you didn't react happy.. perhaps t-the age difference is too much.."
"No, it's not. You just don't look your age, but it's not like I care. You're still cute and pretty. And nice and adorable." Sasuke answered as he stroke Haku's tears away.
Haku bit his lip as more tears came out. It was obvious that he didn't believe Sasuke.
"Haku...Would I have asked you out if I didn't think that? I mean, if I hated your appearance, I would've never asked." Sasuke said as he he kept holding onto Haku's face. Dammit, he should've just kept his big mouth shut.
"..A l-lot of guys just want s-sex.." Haku muttered, while wiping away his tears.
"Well I don't. I asked you out because you seemed interesting and because you're cute. I don't care what you look like, frankly, I like your looks a lot." Sasuke said.
"..Then why d-did you say it like that?" Haku asked, sniffing.
"It just came out like that because I was a little overwhelmed. You just don't look nineteen, but it's not a bad thing." Sasuke answered and smiled at Haku. "I really like you."
"..Now a-already..?" Haku asked, surprised.
"Well, not as in I'm in love, but you're really nice. And cute. And exactly what I've been looking for. And I'm sure I could like you like that." Sasuke answered.
"...You s-sure..?" Haku asked, looking at Sasuke.
"Yes I'm sure. Look Haku, would I ask you to stay if I cared about your age?" Sasuke asked.
"..I g-guess not.." Haku said.
"Well trust me, I wouldn't. So just come back in and wipe those tears of your pretty face OK?" Sasuke said as he himself wiped some more tears away.
Haku nodded now, while he wiped the rest of his tears off his face. He walked back into the room, sighing. Why did he always overreacted?
Sasuke followed Haku and sat back onto the couch. "Now let's get on with our conversation." Sasuke said. He was thankful that Haku had stayed.
Haku smiled and then he sighed, leaning against Sasuke. Damn.
Sasuke smiled a little surprised. He put an arm around Haku. "Anything else I should know of?" Sasuke asked and laughed a little. Nothing could possible shock him more. But nothing would matter enough for Sasuke to just let Haku walk away either.
"..Nothing that I'm aware of." Haku said.
"Ah. Well I think I don't care anyhow. Why don't you just tell me about you?" Sasuke asked as he stroke through Haku's long, soft hair.
"..Well, my hobbies are dancing and swimming.." Haku said. "I've been adopted by Zabuza, a really nice man.. I'm studying administrations and well.. that was it I guess. What about you? You said that you didn't have a boyfriend anymore?"
"Yeah, I broke up with him a few months ago. He went to America after that. But that's not the point here. No wonder you have a nice body with dancing and swimming as your hobbies." Sasuke said and smiled at Haku.
"Thanks." Haku said, smiling. "And alright.. What are your hobbies?"
"Well err..I play guitar a little and I go out sometimes. But I mostly spend time with my homework or helping around the house." Sasuke said, thinking. He didn't have that many hobbies.
"Hmm alright." Haku said, smiling.
Sasuke smiled back and looked at Haku. He then bit his lip for a while. Neji used to hmm a lot. It always reminded him of Neji. And Haku reminded him of Neji too...a little. Just because he had that long hair too and those pretty pink lips. He wondered how Neji was doing. And he wondered if he would ever get over him.
"Is something wrong?" Haku asked, looking at Sasuke.
"Huh?" Sasuke looked at Haku. "Oh..No. I was just thinking of something to do." Sasuke lied and smiled at Haku.
"I saw that." Haku said. "Where were you thinking of?"
"Oh just about what we could do later tonight." Sasuke said and stroke Haku's cheek. Damn, could he have any softer skin than this?
"And did you find a solution?" Haku asked.
"Oh did I. But you said you wanted to go slow, so I guess I'll have to wait hm." Sasuke said and smirked at Haku.
Haku giggled again now, while putting one leg over the other.
"I guess." He said.
"That's so mean." Sasuke said and then put one of his hands on Haku's legs. That usually worked.
"What's mean?" The now red Haku asked.
"Making me wait for a kiss of your pretty pink lips." Sasuke said at a seductive tone and softly stroked Haku's leg.
Haku smiled.
"I've never kissed on the first date." He said.
"Well technically this could be seen as a second date, since we already met this afternoon." Sasuke said and smirked at Haku.
"Yes but the other was not a date." Haku said.
"Ah, I can't convince you now can I?" Sasuke asked as his hand kept traveling over Haku's leg. He was now doing it unconsciously though.
"I don't think so." Haku said as he gave Sasuke his sweetest smile.
Sasuke shook his head. "Could you smile any cuter?" He said and smiled back at Haku.
"Who knows?" Haku asked. Why couldn't he stop flirting?
"You're just teasing me." Sasuke said smirking. Haku was mean, but he liked it. Unlike Neji, Haku was making him wait for what he wanted.
"I know." Haku said, giggling.
"Yeah you make me crave for it." Sasuke laughed. Haku was great. Really great. And exactly what Sasuke needed.
Haku laughed softly.
"So you're living together with your brother?" He asked, starting the conversation again.
"Yeah. His name's Itachi." Sasuke answered and smiled softly. Haku wouldn't leave the conversation to Sasuke, like Neji would sometimes.
"Ah alright." Haku said. "Can you get along with him?"
"Yeah I can very well. He's really nice, even if he looks a little scary sometimes." Sasuke said. "He's really protective over me."
"And that's scary?" Haku asked, looking surprised.
"Sometimes. For others, not for me of course. Although he gets mad at me too sometimes." Sasuke answered.
"What happens when he gets angry then?" Haku asked. "Why is that scary?"
"He growls." Sasuke said, making his voice sound spooky and then started laughing. "No seriously, he does that."
"Like that?" Haku asked, with both eyebrows pulled up. Holy shit.
"No scarier. Everyone practically runs away when he starts it." Sasuke said.
Haku started laughing now.
"At least you're safe if someone threatens you." Haku said.
"Yeah. Saves me a lot of trouble. He already saved me a lot." Sasuke said.
"He did?" Haku asked, looking at Sasuke interested.
"Yeah. Like a few months ago, I almost got beaten up by this ex of my ex, that sounds vague. Anyhow, Itachi came along and helped me out." Sasuke answered.
"That's great." Haku said, nodding. "Why did that guy wanted to beat you up then?"
"Because he knew I knew where his ex, Neji was. So he figured he would get it out of me when he would beat me up." Sasuke said.
"Why was he searching him then?" Haku asked with a frown.
"Because he's insane and he wanted to hurt Neji. So..yeah." Sasuke said and shrugged.
"...What happened with the two of you?" Haku asked, sensing that something was wrong.
"What do you mean?" Sasuke asked a little confused.
"Well, it's clear that the two of you went through a hard time." Haku said. "If you don't want to talk about it it's fine."
"Oh...well I didn't really go through a hard time..But Neji got raped.." Sasuke said and stared at the ceiling.
"...I'm sorry for you Sasuke.. that must have been terrible." Haku said, shocked.
"Well yeah..well it wasn't really happening to me, but to Neji." Sasuke said.
"Yes but you had to see your boyfriend going through pain, so.." Haku said, looking at Sasuke. "Did you love him?"
Sasuke looked at the couch. Did he love Neji. Of course he did, that wasn't the question. The question was...would he ever stop. But he wouldn't tell Haku that. "Yes." He said.
Haku nodded, looking at Sasuke.
"You still love him, don't you?" He asked, smiling softly.
"...Maybe a little." Sasuke said and looked at Haku. Was he so obvious?
"Then it's only better that we are dating now.. so you can try to put him out of your head." Haku said. "Losing someone you love is always hard."
Sasuke looked at Haku and then smiled. "Could you get any better?" Sasuke asked.
"Thanks for the compliment." Haku said, smiling softly. "..If you want, you may kiss me."
Sasuke smiled at Haku and then softly grabbed Haku's face and planted a kiss on his lips. His soft pink lips. He had wanted to do that all evening.
Haku closed his eyes while he laid his arms around Sasuke's neck. He deepened the kiss, still kissing softly.
Sasuke placed his arms around Haku and pulled him closer. Haku kissed so well. So great. So soft. Sasuke really liked it. A lot. He closed his eyes now and intertwined his hand into Haku's hair.
Haku smiled while they kissed like this for a little longer. This was great. For the both of them. This was a new start. A new beginning. The beginning of a strong, new relationship.
After a few more dates they got together and their bond grew stronger every day. Haku came to love Sasuke and Sasuke came to love Haku. But for Sasuke, something was still missing.. there was still something that he needed. Or someone. Like Hyuuga Neji.
