A/N: Hey I'm Back with a new chapter and I know it's been so fucking long but I promise, I'll end this. maybe two more chapters to go cause I don't like seeing Sasuke suffer some more, it's enough already *sniffles* anyway, I'm really sorry for being so incompetent. i swear I'll change and with that here is chapter 4.
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing. I wish I own Jim Parsons though.
Chapter 4: I don't have to miss no TV show
3 months ago…
"So what you think?"
"It was good."
"That's it? Good?"
"I enjoyed it but when you told me that I was going to be losing my virginity I didn't think you meant showing the raiders of the lost ark the first time."
"My apologies, I chose my words poorly. I should have said you were about to have your world rocked on my couch."
I tried so hard not to hit Naruto in the head when he started bursting out laughing at the beginning of his favorite show. What was so funny about what that praying mantis-looking guy?
"Oh, god Sheldon Cooper is just so fucking hilarious." Naruto laughed some more when the guy's jaw dropped at what his supposed girlfriend just said.
"Seriously Naruto, what's so amusing with this show?" I asked him, my urge to hit him getting stronger the minute. Naruto stopped laughing when the opening credits came then looked at me.
"Big Bang Theory is not amusing. It is hilarious and it can also teach you things about science and stuff so it's both educational and entertaining. Aren't you proud of me? I actually learn a lot of words from this show. Add to that, Jim Parsons is one hell of a good actor." Naruto explained.
Like I give a damn about it. I already know a lot about science and I don't need to learn more, I'm a business man for fuck's sake.
"Can't we just go out right now? The weather looks good." I offered. Naruto looked at me suspiciously.
Like I'm going to lie about the weather, he can already see that it looks good.
"Sasuke, did you hear what you just said? You actually want to go out and mingle with people, strangers and the like? You? Uchiha Sasuke? To actually go out?"
"You're an asshole."
"Hey, I'm just making sure you're not some alien from outer space who kidnaps handsome Uchihas then copy their faces."
"If you don't want to go out then change the channel, CSI is probably on right now."
"Don't wanna! That crap is too boring."
"I thought you like crime scenes and solving mysteries?"
"Well, not right now, no."
Then he went back to watching like nothing happened. CSI became my favorite show because Naruto loves watching them. Before we started dating, I'm more of a documentary kind of guy but because of him, it also became my favorite. And now, does he expect me to watch Big Bang theory too?
No, Hell no. I'm fucking changing the channel.

9 days ago…
I was busy typing on my laptop when I heard a roaring laughter from our living room. I know it was Naruto watching Big Bang theory again. I really need him to stop laughing so damn loud because one, it's already 10 in the evening and two, I still need to finish my presentation for the next day but because of his noise I can't concentrate properly.
"Dobe, shut your mouth." I shouted at him from my office.
"Hey, why don't you watch here with me, it'll ease your mind and maybe relax a bit? I know that you'll do well on your presentation so no need to feel pressured."
"The only way for me to relax is for you to shut up."
"Okay, Sorry." He called back, but was still chuckling under his breath. I rolled my eyes then continued on doing my work. After a minute or so, I heard the TV volume got louder and was able to hear not only Naruto's laugh but also the voices from the show.
"Awkward Silence, Sheldon on his phone, no touching, somebody's having date night!"
"It's actually steamier than it looks. Sheldon's looking up the phallic symbolism of root vegetables and renaissance paintings."
"Oh no, I got bored with that. I'm just browsing cuticle scissors on Amazon."
"How do you not tear off his clothes and take him right here on this table?"
"If you do that, I'll scream."
I almost laughed at that last part but then I realized that it's a new episode that Naruto is watching. Oh hell, how many more episodes are they going to air tonight?
"Oh motherfucking Sheldon, he is so hilarious." Naruto's booming laugh got me so irritated. I stood up and went outside the living room.
"Naruto, is it too much to for me to ask of you to shut the fuck up just for tonight?" I snapped at him.
"Huh? Oh, sorry again. Sheldon's being an ass to Amy again and although it's adorable I don't think –"
"I don't care about them being adorable or being stupid! I care about my presentation for tomorrow morning." I hissed at him, massaging my forehead. I can feel an oncoming head ache. Shit.
"Oh. Hey, hey, I'm sorry okay, Fine. I'll turn it off, there's a replay in the afternoon anyway, so I'll just watch it tomorrow. Why don't you go back to your office and I'll massage your head while you work." Naruto offered. I really wanted to say yes but I can't afford any distractions right now. I just shook my head no then returned to the office.
"Then, Goodnight Sasuke." Naruto said. I can hear sadness and disappointment on his voice but I don't need more of his whining right now. My presentation needs to be perfect and flawless because I know how much of s perfectionist Itachi is. Work first before him and I have to impress my brother and the share holders.
Naruto obviously can't understand how I'm feeling about all of this. He just can't.
- It all started with a big bang, BANG –
Present Day: Monday, 9:45 PM
I just finished eating dinner when I remembered that there's a new episode of Big Bang Theory that will air tonight so without changing my clothes, I opened the TV and positioned myself on the couch. I switch the channel to Jack TV and saw that it was about to start. I really did enjoy watching this show despite how much I criticize it in front of Naruto. I really thought that I won't manage watching it because of how much I really wanted to watch CSI that time, but because of Naruto, I still watched it. And it became a ritual to us every Monday and Tuesday night to watch Big Bang Theory. Although when I first watched it, it was an afternoon and a weekend so I assume it was a replay.
At least even for awhile, I can forget about everything and just laugh about Sheldon's inability to socialize still, Penny's lack of knowledge with science and Leonard's love issue with penny. I haven't smiled ever since Naruto left me, but who would? He's my everything, I know that now. I don't care whether I mess up at my work, as long as Naruto is with me.
But what I messed up was my relationship with Naruto, and my work is still as flawless as ever.
"The math is all there, it's not real." Leonard informed penny after solving an equation in their white board.
"Yes it is." Penny argued back.
"Well, look! It is scientifically impossible for a person to tip a cow." Sheldon butted in, showing their computations to penny. Penny just shook her head but Sheldon continued. "Even you with your stocky build and lumberjack shoulders, you couldn't do it."
"It's horrible, why would you push your cow over? They're sacred." Raj muttered, disappointed at Penny.
"Oh stop it. I've seen you eat like a million hamburgers." Penny defended back.
"Hey, an animal can be both sacred and delicious." Raj answered confidently.
I seriously burst out laughing at that since Raj is probably right. I wiped my eyes and was about to look beside me when I remembered that Naruto isn't here with me, beside me.
I should probably go back to watching.
"Look I'm telling you, I've done it, okay. I clearly remember, the cow was standing up and then the cow on its side." Penny argued again.
"What are you drunk?" Leonard guessed which was probably right.
"I was 16 in Nebraska, what do you think?" Penny admittedly answered.
"I think you're the one who fell over." Leonard concluded.
"That would explain why the sky was also on its side."
I laughed so hard again I think my insides are going to come out. I don't even know if I'm really laughing at the show or the fact that I look pathetic right now. Here I am, a rich attractive single guy and the only thing I'm doing right now are watching a sitcom trying so hard to forget about my stupidity. I laughed again and again until tears came out like a river.
I'm such a fool, I want Naruto back but I can't do anything since I don't know where he is. I tried calling him, going back and forth to Sakura's place and asking all of our friends if Naruto's with them but I got none. The only thing I can do right now is cry and laugh in front of a TV with a sitcom on while drowning in sorrow and regret. I don't think that I can finish this show because it reminds me so much of my time watching it with my dobe but then what if he came back and he wasn't able to watch the previous episodes?
"I need to finish this so that I can tell Naruto about what happened because he's coming back. No matter what happened, I'm sure of it." I breathed deeply and continued on watching, not minding the tears that kept on pouring from my eyes.
I'm sorry I made Sasuke cry so much here and although you may think he's a bit OOC, think again. Sasuke, on the Canon Naruto would always become emotional when it comes to someone he cares about, like his brother so I just incorporated that personality of Canon!Sasuke here in this fic. maybe not too similar, but still. *Smiles sheepishly*
