Andrea: Sorry for the wait! Here's chapter two :)
Pairing; SasuNaru
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Warnings: Nothing yet, just some major OOC and language. LOTS of clichèness! Unbeta'd. FLUFF.
Yeah. I said it. I'm in love with my fucking best friend, who is without a doubt straight. I have no clue when it started, I didn't even notice for a while that I kept stealing glances at him all the time. When I did finally notice in 7th grade, I tried to just brush it off, but that wasn't happening any time soon. I noticed it when he was over at my movie, and about halfway in, I realized that I was paying more attention to him than the movie.
Embarrassed, I looked away. I tried to keep my interest on the movie, but the more I attempted not to look over at Naruto, the more tempted I was to. I wanted to look at his beautifully tanned skin, his golden hair. Not to mention, every time he smiled or laughed I couldn't tear my gaze away from his eyes. Had they always been that blue? I couldn't stop my face from feeling a little too warm, I couldn't stop from walking a little closer him, or stop myself from acting a little more...cautious? It was like I wanted to leave a good impression, despite us being best friends already.
For days, I was ripping out my hair. What was wrong with me? The more I thought about it, the more I realized that I had been doing the same things subconsciously. I didn't even notice! What the fuck!? I wasn't like the dobe, I noticed things I did. So why couldn't I acknowledge all the little things that kept me pulled to the blonde? I'm not an idiot, the signs all led to the fact that I was somehow…attracted to him. But no way, that was not happening to me. I was not attracted to my best friend. My best guy friend. Because that didn't happen to normal people.
So for about another week, my thoughts were pretty mixed up as I tried to figure out if I…liked Naruto. I probably would have remained undecided for a few months if it weren't for Kiba, the idiot. We were in English class, and I was sitting down while Naruto was leaning over my desk from his position in front of it, begging me for the answers to the homework, since he had forgotten to do it last night.
I relented after looking at his clear azure eyes too closely (damn) and was about to pull it out to give to him when dog-boy started guffawing at some joke Ino made. So, he started leaning back, and guess what? Yeah, he happened to ram into Naruto, sending him right into me. Our lips met, and we both froze. We quickly got over it, and broke apart, blushing like crazy. He stammered an apology before yelling at Kiba, and dragging him out of the room.
Meanwhile, I was still sitting there like an idiot, memorizing the feel of his soft lips on mine. They were so smooth, and I wanted to feel them again. I wanted to explore what was beyond those lips. It wasn't until I was pulled out of my daze by the screams made by furious girls that I realized I was thinking about it. I guess that was when I realized I liked Naruto. I couldn't stop thinking about the kiss and I couldn't stop myself from wanting more. Admitting it to myself was probably the hardest part, because it's kind of a shock to find out you like your best friend. But after that, I guess it gets easier to accept.
The kiss was never really mentioned between us again, since every time it was brought up, Naruto turned into and imitation of a tomato, and I turned pretty red myself. It was kind of awkward the day of the kiss, but Naruto ended up saying that it was an accident and it didn't mean anything, so it was all okay. Great.
My affections for Naruto just kept getting stronger as time went on, and I found myself falling in love. I loved just everything he did, and I wanted to be the only one in his life to make him blush, to kiss him, to love him. I sound like a sap, but I'd do pretty much anything to see that smile of his.
Too bad he was the densest person I've ever met. He's just completely blind about things concerning romance, especially towards him. So despite hints I've dropped on him, he's never been aware of my feelings for him. Plus, to him I'm just his best friend. But I guess that's better than nothing…At least I'm a big part of his life, you know?
"SASUKE!" Woah, didn't see that coming. I blinked.
"What was that for?" Naruto rolled his eyes.
"What was that for? I was trying to tell you that my dad said it was fine that I could stay over, but you had this weird-ass look on your face and you were all distant and wouldn't respond and you were just being a bastard!" He pouted.
"How could I have been a bastard if I was spacing out?"
"You were a bastard because you were spacing out!" he exclaimed happily. Only he could tell someone they were a bastard with that huge grin on his face.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'll never space out again in your presence again! Wouldn't want to make myself seem like a bastard, would I?" I mocked.
"Exactly! Glad you understand! Now, to redeem yourself come back here so I can kick your sorry ass!" he shouted, laughing as he started chasing me all the way to my house.
"Ah, home sweet home," sighed Naruto as he plopped down on my couch, exhausted from the chase he has ensued. My parents weren't home yet, since they were still at work. And my brother had texted me saying that he was going to hang out at his boyfriend, Deidara's, house. A.k.a., he was going to screw him into the mattress. Oh well, saved me the trouble of having to bribe him to not embarrass me.
"Nice to know you haven't forgotten that it's my house," I scoffed, unsuccessfully trying to hold down a grin while landing down next to him. It's hard not to smile when Naruto looks so adorable like that, with his beautiful plump lips gasping for air, his eyes smoldering, and his hair messier than usual.
"Pfft, details," he said, laughing. It was infectious, and I had joined in with his tinkering laugh. "Do we need to set anything up for the party?" he asked once we had calmed down.
"Doubt it, we're probably just going to watch some movies and play that stupid game Ino wanted to play," I answered, getting up to look for a movie to watch before they came. "What movie do you want to watch right now?" He bit his lip and thought about it for a moment before he shrugged.
"I dunno, choose something for me. I trust that you won't show me anything too horrifying that will scar me for the rest of my life," he grinned.
"Oh I see, so you won't mind watching a horror movie?" I smirked, challenging him to disagree with my eyes. He hated horror movies, and he was such a baby about it. Not like I'm complaining though, because usually he'll clutch at me and dig his head into my chest at the "scary" parts.
"You jerkface!" he pouted, "You know that I'm—"
"It's okay if you're scared, I mean I totally understand and I wouldn't want to put you through anything you aren't willing to go through if it's too much for you to handle."
"—Totally okay with it! I was just worried that you might chicken out before the movie ends!" he finished hurriedly, forcing a sheepish grin. I smirked. Worked every time.
"Haha, right. Because I'm the one that needed me to sleep with them that night because they were too scared of a murderer hiding in the bathroom," I mocked. Ah, good memories.
"Whatever, and I'll let you know that my reasons for that were perfectly justified," he huffed, turning away from me. I laughed and rolled my eyes before I took a movie out of the shelf and put the DVD into the player. I decided on a comedy movie instead, to spare Naruto. I saw him visibly relax as he saw my movie choice. Typical Naruto. We could always watch the horror movie later.
…I could always tell him about that later too.
I grabbed the remote and waited for the movie to go to the menu and pressed play before walking back to the couch and laying down on it with my head in Naruto's lap.
"Bastard, get off," he said half-heartedly as he pouted, looking down at me with those clear blue orbs.
"No, I'm comfortable, and you know you like touching my hair," I said, grinning at him in triumph. It was true, he really liked to comb through my hair with his fingers. He said it was really soft and he liked the color. I normally don't like it when people touch my hair, but Naruto was definitely an exception. It was seriously relaxing.
"Stupid know-it-all prick," he muttered under his breath, before he smiled softly (sending my heart fluttering) and threaded his hands through my hair. "Your hair is so soft…" Told you.
"Then I guess it's too bad you're the only one that's gonna know about it," I said, closing my eyes in relaxation.
"Huh?" I could practically see his crystal azure eyes swimming with confusion as his eyebrows lightly furrowed and a small frown adorned his face.
I opened my eyes, smirking lightly. "Because no one else can touch my hair…Only you." He blinked rapidly a few times, red spreading across his face before he averted his gaze.
"S-stop saying stupid things, teme," he muttered, stroking my hair once more. It's because of the fact that he was looking away from me that he missed the small, slightly sad smile that crossed my face.
"Whatever you say, moron. Now shut up, the movie's starting."
Ding Dong.
The doorbell was barely heard through the laughs that me and Naruto were giving. Holy shit, that movie was hilarious. I mean, I'm actually crying of laughter.
"HAHAHAHAHA CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT RETARD?" Naruto cried, still clutching his stomach in an attempt to stop laughing. "The guy was like "Go fuck yourself," and he was all "Okay!". I know it was just a screw-up, but what kind of a retard does that?! Hahahaha! Okay, I think I'll just find a lovely hole to go fuck myself in, since you told me I should!" That sent me into another fit of laughter.
Ding Dong. Ding Dong. Ding Dong. Ding Dong. Ding Dong.
"How much you wanna bet that's Kiba?" I choked through my laughter, tears streaming down my face.
"My whole life's savings, man," he snickered, gasping in an attempt to stop laughing. I closed my eyes and plugged my ears, taking deep breaths until my laughs died down. I heard Naruto's breathing become more even as well and I opened my eyes, staring into clear blue orbs.
We stared.
…
Then burst into laugher all over again.
Ding Dong. Ding Dong. Ding Dong. Ding Dong. Ding Dong. Ding Dong. Ding Dong.
Still laughing our asses off, we scrambled to the door clumsily, stumbling over furniture before grabbing it for balance. We finally got to the door, I unlocked it, and opened it to reveal a grinning Ino and Sakura, smiling Lee, blushing Hinata, munching Chouji, emotionless Shikamaru, Neji, and Gaara, and a very pissed off and irritated Kiba.
"DUDE! YOU GUYS TOOK FOREVER! GEEZ KEEP YOUR LIBIDO IN CHECK!" he whined childishly. Immediately, me and Naruto ceased laughing. Damn dog-boy.
"W-what the hell?! Shut up! That's not what we were doing!" yelled Naruto, his face beet-red. I was trying to hold down a blush too, so I looked away, only to see a knowing smirk on Sakura's face. Oh right, I kind of let it slip to her that I liked Naruto one day. She asked me who I liked one day, so that she could "hook me up" and pissed me off until I yelled at her that Naruto wouldn't like me anyways. One of the worst mistakes of my life, since she will not stop bugging me about how I need to get off my ass and do something about it all the time.
…But that's not the point. Right now I was thinking of ways to murder Kiba in the cruelest and most unusual ways possible.
"Yeah, yeah, spare me. What else would you both have been doing, since you both look like you just had a make out session?" he scoffed, indicating our messed up hair and wrinkled clothing.
"You loser! We weren't making out! We were laughing from a movie we watched!" Naruto protested, turning even redder than before. I really wanted to kiss him right now, and see that beautiful blush of his go deeper, but that wouldn't really help our argument right now.
"Right, so did this movie happen to involve sex?" teased Kiba, waggling his eyebrows suggestively.
"You know what, I don't even know you anymore," huffed Naruto as everyone laughed.
"Okay, I've had enough of standing outside listening to Kiba talk about Naruto's sex life! Let's go inside!" announced Ino, marching inside briskly before Naruto could respond. Naruto turned to me with an expression that questioned the sanity of our friends. I shrugged, and walked inside after Ino, everyone trailing after us.
"Okay, I've got the bottle right here, let's hurry up and play spin the bottle already! I wanna see some smooching!" squealed Ino, practically bounding up and down as she sat on the couch and pulled a glass bottle out of her messenger bag.
"Che, right now? Troublesome," yawned Shikamaru, sitting down on the ground and crossing his legs.
"I'm not playing this game," stated Gaara blankly, sitting down slightly farther away than the circle that everyone was sitting in. Neji nodded in agreement.
"Me either."
"Oh yes you are!" screeched Sakura and Ino at once, shooting up in unison to drag them both inside the circle.
"Sasuke, do you have any chips?" asked Chouji, not paying attention to anything as he glanced mournfully at his empty bag.
"Umm, I think there are some in the cupboard over there," I answered, pointing to the cupboard. Hey, might as well indulge him. I'm a nice person.
…
Occasionally.
"Thanks man!" he cheered, sprinting over to the cupboard, grabbing the chips, and plopping back down in record time. Geez, if he ran like that in gym, we'd all be screwed big time.
"Okay, enough! Are we actually going to start or sit here munching on chips and chatting like old ladies?" asked an irritated Ino.
"I'm all for chatting like old ladies," Shikamaru drawled.
"Too bad, we're starting and I'm going first! If you get a same-sex result, I really don't give a shit," she glared, before brightening up visibly and spinning the bottle. It spun around harshly, before it started to stop spinning. I held my breath, hoping that it wouldn't point to me. If it did, I'd just switch places with Lee.
…I'm sure Lee wouldn't mind.
"Hell no," seethed Gaara, shooting a glare that promised death.
The bottle had stopped in front of him.
"…Didn't see that happening," muttered a wide-eyed Naruto, breaking the awkward silence that had followed.
"Oh, whatever!" scoffed Ino, "What are you all? Five?" With that, she stood up, leaned over Gaara and pecked him briefly before hurrying back to her spot.
"I see who wears the pants in this relationship," whistled Kiba, grinning impishly. Naruto was set up into a round of laughter, causing him to lean on me in an attempt to not fall over. I guess dog-boy has his uses.
"I see who doesn't," Gaara glared at Kiba pointedly, eyeing him up and down.
"That was a low blow," gasped Kiba dramatically, pretending to swoon. Okay, even I had to laugh at that. At least I wasn't alone, because the others started laughing as well.
"Can't say it wasn't true though," snickered Naruto.
"Exactly," nodded Ino before Kiba could reply, "Now Gaara spin the bottle!" Kiba muttered about a conspiracy under his breath.
"Not happening."
"Come on, Gaara just spin it! Pleeeeassseeee?" whined Naruto, giving him the puppy dog face. A tinge of pink barely touched his face, and he nodded stiffly before grasping the bottle. Bastard. It's pretty obvious that he likes Naruto too, judging by the way he only really opens up in front of him. I guess it started when Naruto saw him sitting alone and insisted that we sit with him. Ugh. If this spin landed on Naruto, I'm blowing up Alaska.
"HOW YOUTHFUL!" sang Lee, as the bottle slowed down to stop in front of him. I think this game could grow on me. Gaara looked absolutely horrified. I tried to repress a smirk, and failed pretty badly. I snuck a look over at Naruto and saw a grin on his face that would probably take some effort to pull down.
"Get it over with," snapped Gaara. Lee nodded vigorously and hopped over to Gaara before throwing his arms around his neck and engaging him in a passionate kiss. In which Gaara shoved away hastily. "What the hell was that?!" He glared at Lee.
"Why, I was committing that of which this wonderful game has instructed me to do, my friend!" smiled Lee, completely oblivious to the glare Gaara shot at him.
"Oh god, I have to go to the bathroom," groaned Gaara, looking like he was going to be sick before he stood up and walked to the bathroom.
"HAHAHAHAHA POOR GAARA,!" burst out Naruto, who could not hold in his laughter any longer.
"I second that," Kiba blanched, looking positively serious.
"Who wouldn't?" I added, smirking. Sakura huffed before glaring at us. Oops, I forgot they were dating.
"What is the subject of this conversation I am hearing about?" wondered Lee, eye shining excitedly at us. I almost felt bad for him.
Almost. Because Uchiha Sasuke does not feel bad for anyone.
Really.
"Nothing," answered Naruto, smiling innocently while his eye glistened mischievously at me. He's too cute for his own good, I swear. "Hurry up and spin the bottle!"
"Of course!" cheered Lee, grasping the bottle and he was about to spin it when Hinata spoke up. Huh. Forgot she was there for a second.
"S-shouldn't we wait for Gaara-kun to come back first?" she said in a low voice, blushing as all attention was directed to her.
"Nah, he'll be okay," I decided. Naruto shrugged in agreement.
"O-okay then," Hinata said, covering her face with her bangs in embarrassment. Lee shot her a thumbs-up before spinning the bottle vigorously. If the bottle lands on me, I'm blowing up Alaska and the continent.
"Uhhhh," muttered a shocked and pale Ino. Just her luck, it landed on her. Okay, maybe Uchiha Sasuke feels bad for people at certain times.
"This is wonderful! My lotus blossom's best friend and I shall be engaging in a wondrous act of passion!" cheered Lee, springing up and advancing to a frozen Sakura.
"That's right, pucker up, Ino-pig," sneered Sakura triumphantly at the misfortune of her long-time rival. I guess she was okay with her kissing her boyfriend if it meant a little revenge. It didn't mean anything anyways. Ino didn't get the chance to respond, as Lee placed his lips on hers at that very moment.
"Mmmph!" Ino pushed Lee away just after Gaara came back into the room.
"See if you laugh now," he muttered.
"Haha, funny. I can't believe I've gone twice already," shot back Ino, spinning the bottle again. It spun, spun, spun…and landed on…
Naruto.
…Oh hell no.
"Well, this isn't that bad," said Ino thoughtfully as she stood up. Maybe not that bad for you, blondie.
"Hey! What do you mean not that bad?!" huffed Naruto, "And whats with the moodiness, bastard?" It showed?
"…Nothing," I grumbled, looking away from the captivating gaze of his cerulean eyes and the complexion of his perfect face, which included those plump pink lips. Those lips that someone else besides me would be kissing any second now.
"Yeah right," he said, rolling his eyes, "Seriously, what is it?" Everyone's eyes slid towards me.
"Dobe, just get on with your make out session with Ino," I gritted out disdainfully. The sooner it's over the better. Naruto gave me a look that plainly said he didn't buy it, but he'd let it go this time. Stupid…
It's your own fault you made me fall for you so fucking hard.
"O-okay, can we do this now please?" stuttered Hinata, sensing the tense atmosphere and attempting to break it. She did a good job.
"Oh, yeah!" said Ino, smiling as she neared Naruto's face. At that moment, I could have sworn that I was seeing red. That bitch better not kiss him for too long, or she's going to be well acquainted with the hospital.
Ino leaned in, closing the distance between her lips and Naruto's. She pressed onto him for a few seconds, before straightening up and walking back to her place in the circle. Yeah, you better run before I punch your face in for touching my dobe.
"Sasuke…" I heard Naruto say from beside me. I turned towards him to meet his gaze.
"What?"
"Are you okay…?" he asked tentatively, looking at me (adorably) with concern shining in his eyes. Okay, with that look of complete anxiety for me had me smiling, I admit. He cared. He actually cared. A lot. And that meant more to mean than he'd ever know.
How does he always know exactly what to do to cheer me up?
"Don't over think it, we wouldn't want you getting hurt," I teased, wrapping my arms around him and bringing him to my chest as I nuzzled his golden locks, "I'm fine." He smiled up at me.
"Good." A loud and obviously fake cough snapped us out of our revere.
"What is this, a sappy romance movie?" gagged Kiba, rolling his eyes at us. Naruto turned red, and scoffed.
"Shut up and go back to eating your kibble," he shot back, glaring as he shifted out of our embrace.
"Haha, funny. Spin the bottle, blondie!" smirked Kiba, sliding the bottle over to Naruto, who stuck his tongue out at him before grasping the bottle and giving it a spin. Oh god, I don't think I can bear to watch this.
"Umm…Sasuke…?"
Holy shit.
So maybe I could.
…It had skittered to a stop right in front of me.
A/N - I hope you enjoyed. x) I love fluff, so obviously there's going to be a lot in this story!
