Review Answers at the bottom!
The moment our hands touched, our eyes met and hearts connected.
It was magical, at least in my head.
I know it sounds cliché, but I finally understood the phrase 'love at first sight'.
Am I in love? Quite possibly…
Also, guys, if some of you are from Tokyo, message me! I would truly like to see more of this stunning city and I bet you know all the good places to eat. Until next time!
My fingers shook with anticipation remembering the day as it went. A smile took over my once expresionless face as I found my lips formed in a forgotten way. Reality in which I am right now was some time ago my biggest dream. My biggest dream; coming face to face with the Japanese legend.
Naruto Uzumaki.
A person seeking as much friends and fun one can have or even desire. Total opposite of me for that matter. He's noisy, sociable and amusing to be around whereas I'm calm, socially awkward and a bore.
I remember we were staring at each other intensely, for a long time until he broke our locked gaze with a beautiful smile. The kind of smile that would light up rainy days- the one that fills your heart with joy. Even though I was pretending to be emotionless and cold, a slightly, almost unnoticeable smile formed on my lips. Kakashi noticed that and from the corner of my eye, I could see him openly smirk.
The football legend raised his arm to the height of his waist, signaling for me to shake it. Without a second thought, I squeezed his huge, compared to mine, hand. After that the silence and staring continued, but this time we were smiling. His hand felt warm and soft, I briefly wondered what it would be like if he held me tightly in both of them.
It was an honor getting a possibility to shake your hero's hand.
Hero? I scowled at the thought, as I once again reminded myself that he was much more; an idol, an inspiration, a celebrity crush… Two years ago, when he won the state champion game, Orochimaru assigned me to write an article about the megastar. It was a poorly written paragraph for I couldn't concentrate due to the shirtless pictures I had to include.
Keeping in mind that Naruto is a busy person, I think he surely didn't read that article, or so I silently hope. In one particular interview Naruto stated that he doesn't read articles about himself. That's one of the many reasons I admire him- he's not self-centered like a person with his career would be.
''You guys should practice your lines while you're together. Tomorrow's the audition.'' I remember Kakashi saying before giving me the sheets. Apparently I haven't got the part, I'm just trying out which partly explains Sakura's rude behavior to me earlier this day.
I tried talking to her afterwards, but she had no desire to even look at my direction. Sadly, I understood her feelings, we're friends and I'm stealing her role. Even though I felt betrayed when she ignored me; she was the one that was betrayed from the start.
That made me question if this really is my yearning. There's no harm in trying, that's true but I'm trying out her dream, her only desire. Along with Itachi, she is the only one that supported me from the very beginning when I had two followers and I'm sure she supports me now, even though she clearly can't stand me at the moment.
However, I became even more confused when Naruto asked me out to eat and talk about the commercial. I was puzzled but also incredibly happy when I heard those words of his, directed at me.
We spent hours talking about anything but our current jobs. It burned my throat when he asked me about my family, but I willingly told him the whole thing. It wasn't a big secret in the family that father didn't like his younger son aka the failure that couldn't fulfill his dream of become the CEO of Uchiha family Bossiness. It also wasn't a big secret that I disagreed with his close-minded view of the world.
Naruto listened to every word with concentration and admiration, now and then nodding when I'd stop. After I asked him about his family, he was candidly troubled with sharing those details. But in the end, he told me a lot.
His mother, Kushina Uzumaki, is a small town journalist who has a small salary. Naruto decided not to name his dad, but said that he's a hard working man that tends to forget about his family at times. I realized that when he's not surrounded by people, his eyes become empty and in those eyes I could clrearly see(ovde moze prezent) a very lonely child.
Somewhere along those lines, I recognized myself.
While he was looking down with those emotioneless(ako si to htela reci) eyes, I unthinkingly blurred out ''you know, there is a difference in being alone and being lonely.'' A low whisper, barely heard in the loud room assured me that he knew all to well.
Luckily he changed the topic quickly, asking me what my favorite book is. The question surprised me of course; athletic-person and books don't go together. My answer was the book I was currently reading, 'Year of Wonders'. Yet again, he surprised me by answering 'Memoirs of a Geisha' which is a historical fiction, much similar to my favorite.
He saw the shock all over my features, causing him to express amusement by laughing. It was an average, noisy laugh that I heard hundred of times in my office, on the streets, in the coffee… except there was something in his average laugh that made my heart beat faster.
Looking back at the moment, a smile overtook my mouth. I was so oblivious to the fact that I was staring at him while he was laughing. After the gloriy noise was over he explained that books are his escape from reality, just like football.
That opened a new door to more subjects we discussed. The discussions lasted till late hours, where both of us were exhausted and tired. Next came a peaceful walk(as peaceful as it can get in Tokyo) to the hotel.
Afterwards, I realized that I still hadn't memorized my words, or decided if I really wanted to do this. I rocked my head with those two questions until I picked up to write instead. Now that I've finished my update, finished a new page to my short-length story and replayed the whole day, I still don't know what to do.
A well-known song filled the area, making me close my lap-top and grab the cell phone pulling it towards my ear.
''Yes?'' Silence greeted me on the other line. It felt like eternity has passed until the person answered. But when I did hear the said person's voice, I nearly fainted.
''Sasu?''
''It's me.'' It came out as a murmur.
''Good. I just want to hear your voice.''
A chuckle escaped my mouth. ''You miss me that much already?'' Checking the time, it was two hours since we last saw each other. The information made me feel strangely overwhelming, even though he could just walk up to my room and chat.
''You could say that… Your voice is ecstatic, liberate, vivacious…'' I could just portrait his face, making different kind of expressions finding words that fit me.
''Using big words to impress me, eh?'' During our many topics, I told him I write in my free time. Though, I didn't mention my goals and accomplishments during the years. Bragging about my job looked like a turn-off for Naruto, so I kept it simple as possible.
Aroma. Lee : Thank you!
