Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of it's characters.
AN: Chapter two! W00t!!!!! …I have ideas, but I really don't know how this chapter will turn out, so let's goooooo Oh, and beware, OOCness ensues
Chapter 2: Discovered
Naruto took a long, heavy sigh. Today would surely be an adventure. He put his uniform and got ready as he would any normal day. But today was not normal. Oooh, no. Today was very different. Today was the first day as Sasuke's boyfriend.
Yup. Boyfriend.
What would the girls say… I can't even imagine… they'll kill me, skin me alive, and take me to a guillotine… he thought.
Naruto finally made his way to the door and locked it on his way out. Sasuke was waiting outside his house. "WH-WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, TEME?!"
"We're going out, remember? When people are, they usually go to school together."
Naruto blushed and lowered his head. "O-oh yeah…"
They walked side-by-side in silence most of the way to school when Sasuke suddenly grabbed Naruto's hand in his own. Naruto opened his mouth to question, but Sasuke knew what he was going to say.
"Is it wrong to hold my boyfriend's hand? It's the first step to you trusting me," Sasuke said, tightening his grip so that it was protective, but not painful.
It was then Naruto realized that Sasuke was really serious about this. He really wanted a strong relationship with him. Naruto had never had someone want that from him before, and he admired Sasuke for trying. Slowly and hesitantly, Naruto grabbed Sasuke's hand back. Sasuke smiled at the simple, yet meaningful gesture. First step to trust, he repeated to himself. (You: OMG SASUKE SMILED?! AND IS SENSITIVE?! Me: Okay, it's a little OOC…)
They arrived and school and Sakura and her friends practically jumped over to the couple. Naruto's eyebrow twitched. How the hell did she find out?! It hasn't even been 24 hours! The squeeling and fangirling started right away. The details… maybe you shouldn't know.
The boys barely made it to their class alive. Which wasn't much help because there were just as many girls there as there were outside.
"IS THERE ANY WAY TO ESCAPE?!" Naruto suddenly shouted. The girls? Didn't care.
The day seemed to already be thirty hours long by lunch. Naruto insisted that they sit with his friends, and even though Sasuke knew what would happen.
"I-Ino-pig… h-he's…"
"…s-sitting with… with…"
Ino and Sakura looked at each other and squealed their annoying fangirly squeals. Naruto blushed and coughed, causing the girls to sit upright and stop right away.
"Please tell me you two are just in a phase right now?" Naruto asked.
The two giggled. "No. Anyway, Naruto, Sasuke-kun, tell us how you got together!!"
"It was nothing special… I was forced…" Naruto started, but was cut off by Sasuke.
"I'll tell you what you want to hear," Sasuke told the two girls, "Naruto stayed after school, and I stayed after to see him. Then I seduced him until he could barely function and asked him out. He had no choice but to say yes and fall into my arms."
Naruto learned over and whispered in his partner's ear, "That was the lamest and cheesiest thing I've heard in my life."
Sasuke smirked and the girls continued to squeal themselves mute.
"Have you two had your first kiss?" Temari suddenly asked.
Naruto crossed his arms over his chest. "No," he said stiffly.
Temari raised her eyebrow. "Why not?"
Sasuke glanced at Naruto and then back at the girl. "We haven't even been together a day, neither of us are ready for that yet," Sasuke explained.
"I never will be," Naruto mumbled inaudibly, arms still crossed.
"Are you at least holding hands? That's the first step: holding hands, then silly pet names and calling each other all the time to find things out, then kissing, and mouth hockey, then… well, other, bigger, better things," Tenten said.
Sasuke looked at Naruto, who had found himself glaring at the world, and grabbed his hand. He lifted their interlocked hands to show the entire table. Naruto's other arm slinked down. Why is Sasuke showing everyone? he asked himself.
"Sasuke. Bathroom. Now," Naruto demanded.
"Ooh, I wonder what naughty things you two will do!" Temari snickered.
Naruto gave her a nice, long, hateful glare before dragging Sasuke away. Once they were in the bathroom, he let go of Sasuke's hand and also have him a long, hard glare.
"What?" Sasuke finally asked.
"Don't go flaunting our relationship around like that!" Naruto shouted.
"Do you have a better way to shut them up? It's simple, give them what they want, and they'll stop asking for it," Sasuke explained in a monotonous manner.
Naruto growled at him. "I don't care! I don't want the entire fucking planet to know we're going out!"
"Why not?" Sasuke asked, a tad irritated.
"Because… because! I don't like you! At all! I was guilted into this!" Naruto shouted, and immediately regretted it. He could see the hurt in Sasuke's eyes. "Sasuke, I… I didn't mean…"
Sasuke casually put his hands in his pockets and scrutinized a small black speck on the tiling below them. "It's okay, Naruto. I know." Sasuke paused for a while, and then spoke again, "I know you don't like me. I just… I liked you so much that I thought maybe if we went out you'd eventually learn to like me."
"I… I will… it's only been a day… Sasuke, I'm really… really sorry."
"Don't be. You were right. I shouldn't have guilted you into this relationship. Can you just forget this past few days ever happened?" he asked, not waiting for a reply before walking out the door.
Naruto stood in the bathroom, dumbfounded. Man, I was just a total asshole, he thought. Oddly enough, he replied to himself. Then go fix it, dumbass. Naruto nodded and walked out the door. Sasuke was walking towards his locker.
Naruto took a deep breath. Okay, self, let's do this. Another deep breath. "Sasuke, wait."
Sasuke stopped, but didn't turn around.
"I was a jerk in there. You don't deserve to be treated like that. And… I'm willing to try if you are."
"Try what?" Sasuke asked, his back still facing the blonde.
Naruto sighed. "A… uhm… us."
"Us?"
Now he turned around, incredulous black and red eyes staring at Naruto. He gulped hard. "I… still want to go out with you, Sasuke. I'm sorry for treating you like that."
Sasuke walked towards Naruto. Sure, he knew Naruto was doing it this time out of guilt as well, but, hey, as long as he was with the person he liked. He walked until he was right in front of Naruto. "Thanks," Sasuke said, conviently just as the bell rang.
XxXxXOver the next week, nothing too exciting happened. Naruto felt so guilty after that one day that he even let Sasuke hold his hand in public, which he very reluctantly held back. But it was guilt! Only guilt! …at least that's what his mind said.
What does my heart say? Naruto asked himself during class on Saturday. Sasuke was sick, so he wasn't at school. Naruto figured he would go say hi after classes ended. Naruto went outside during lunch and climbed the huge tree in the school's courtyard. He needed to talk to himself. (XDD)
"Do I like Sasuke? No! I'm NOT gay! You're right. But… then why do I feel so bad whenever I do something mean to him? Like I need to make it up to him? That's… uh…well. I'm a nice person. Yeah, that's it. I'm just nice. Very nice. And when you love someone, you get butterflies in your stomach when they touch you, or so Sakura's told me. And I deffinitely haven't felt that. So that must be it. I'm just nice. Very nice. Yes, very nice," Naruto concluded. Sometimes it feels really good to talk to yourself and clear things up. No matter how weird people look at you.
XxXxX
Naruto decided to get Sasuke some ramen to cheer him up in his illness. After all, what sane human doesn't like ramen? I mean, come on. It's pure sodium goodness!
Knock knock.
No answer. "Hey, Sasuke? You in there? I brought you soul food in your time of need!" Naruto called. (By the way, how did he even get Sasuke's address??)
Sasuke opened the door. He looked perfectly normal.
"Man, you look fine. What's wrong with you? Cold?" Naruto asked.
Sasuke shook his head and stuck his hands im his pockets like usual. "No, I just chose not to go to school today. I have good enough grades to do that."
"WH-WHAT?!" Naruto yelled. "YOU JUST SKIPPED?!"
"No, I excused myself. Since I have no legal gaurdian, I just call in when I'm sick. I guess you could, too," explained Sasuke. Naruto glared at him. "Want to come in?" he finally asked.
Naruto angrily walked in, and shoved the cup of ramen in Sasuke's hands. "I brought it because I actually thought you were sick."
"What is this crap?"
…
…
"Are you KIDDING me?!" shouted Naruto. "YOU'VE NEVER HAD RAMEN?!"
Sasuke was scrutinizing the nutrition label. "Man, this is so unhealthy. How the heck do you have such a nice body when you eat this all the time?"
"Excuse me?" an irritated Naruto asked.
Sasuke mumbled something inaudibly and looked away, setting the ramen on the counter. "So do you want to stay over for a little while?"
Naruto eyes the boy suspiciously. "How do I know you won't molest me?"
"Because," Sasuke answered, "I treasure this relationship too much to risk you getting mad at me for that."
Naruto appreciated that, too.
This little after school thing quickly became a habit, and they ended up spending a ton of time together. Some days they would watch movies (usually a comedy, Naruto was too much of a pussy for anything else) (AN: WE LOVE YOU UKE-NARU 3), some days they would just sit in silence for a few hours. But a lot of days they talked for a long time, learning every single detail, pinnacle, and flaw of each other. They learned each other's favorite and least favorite thing, what their hobbies were, what their hidden talents were, and more pointless nonsense.
But all that made Sasuke happy because every thing he learned about Naruto, and what Naruto learned about him, brought them closer, and one step up on their relationship.
I liked that chapter. 3 Cheesy ending, but still. BEWARE: THE NEXT CHAPTER IS SUBJECT TO HAVE LIGHT YAOI SCENES. I SUGGEST IF YOU DON'T LIKE THAT, THAT YOU STOP READING THIS NOW.

Naruto slowly brought his face to Sasuke's, their lips dangerously close.
"I'm… not going to force you to do anything…" Sasuke whispered, his breath tickling Naruto's lips.
"You're not," he answered, closing the space between them. The way they were positioned made it almost seem like Naruto needed Sasuke.
