Andrea: Thanks for the reviews, you guys! :)
Disclaimer: Do not own.
Warnings: SAPPYSAPPYSAPPYSAPPY CHAPPY. Some chatspeak from an online chat, but it shouldn't be too bad. A little angst followed by extreme corniness. T_T What can I say? I'm a huge sap. Kiss between Sasuke and Naru-chan, but no tongue. Sorry! So no action yet because even though I couldn't resist being the clichè and unoriginal person that I am and making them kiss, I want to actually build their relationship and Naruto's feelings for Sasuke.
"T-this is just a mistake," Ino giggled shakily, "I'm sure of it! Naruto, go ahead and spin again!" Oh no, bitch. You're not messing this up for me too.
"Hold it, pig," interrupted Sakura, "I thought you didn't give a shit if there was a same-sex result." Good job, Sakura. Since, you know, it'd be kind of weird if I demanded that Naruto kiss me.
"We-Well I didn't think it would involve Sasuke-kun!" she defended indignantly. "Don't tell me you're not bothered by it!" …I hope she isn't.
"In case you've forgotten, I'm dating Lee now," Sakura shot back.
"I really don't care! Naruto cannot be allowed to kiss Sasuke-kun! It's not right!" groaned Ino, shoving her hands in her hair and smoothing it down. Sakura scowled angrily and was about to respond when…
"You guys…It's really fine," sighed a slightly annoyed Naruto, "My lips touch his, his lips touch mine, we break the kiss. End of story." Right…End of story.
"C'mon, Ino, don't you wanna see some tongue action? 'Cause you know there's gonna be some with these two," grinned Kiba, gesturing in our direction.
"No, in fact I do not!" shouted Ino, "Ugh, just get it over with." Naruto laughed at her antics, before he turned to me and started leaning up.
He came closer…
Closer…
Fuck, just kiss me already!
His lips crashed on mine. Oh god, it was absolutely perfect. His lips molded with mine perfectly as his hands threaded lightly through my hair. I held back a moan as I pressed back against the moistness, wanting more of those soft lips. Said lips froze momentarily, before pressing back again tentatively. The ecstasy I felt was short-lived, however. Naruto broke the kiss, panting lightly as he stared into my eyes briefly with glazed eyes, our foreheads touching, before he leaned away hastily, beet red. I was pretty red too.
Damnit, come back here and kiss me again!
"…What was that?" Neji muttered, breaking the awkward silence that had followed our kiss. Naruto's blush deepened, and no reply came from anyone. Then dog-boy catcalled.
"Woah man, you guys got waaaay too carried away there!" he cheered. Laughter from everyone but Ino, who looked horrified and embarrassed, Gaara, who was glaring at me with vigor (Ha! Me: 1 Racoon-face: 0), and Neji who was just looking unimpressed. Pfft, you try kissing Naruto and look stoic. Not that I would let him kiss Naruto.
"NARUTO!" whined Ino, grabbing onto Naruto's shoulders and shaking him wildly, "How could you do this to me?!"
"I-ino, it's just a kissing game!" he stammered, trying to wriggle out of her vice grip on him.
"B-but you guys looked like a couple!" she wailed childishly. Did we?
"Well, we're not, okay?! We're just friends, so please stop shaking me before I hurl!" he yelled, pushing her away from him as her grip loosened.
Right. Just friends. It's all we'd ever be. I held back a wince as I forced a smirk on. I guess I should be used to this now; I'd come to terms with it a long time ago. But even so, the searing pain that struck my heart every time I was reminded that we'd never be anything more than best friends wasn't great.
"Oh, sorry Naruto…I kinda left a mark," noted Ino sheepishly, indicating the marks on his arm that she had left from gripping him so hard. Ugh, she gets to kiss him first, and mark him first? Since when was this fair?
Tch.
"It's okay," he waved off. Oh right, he's a fast healer. And I mean fast. One time, he tripped when he was playing me at basketball, and got this fucking nasty cut on his knee. By the next day, it was almost completely healed.
"Should…shouldn't Sasuke-kun spin n-now?" asked Hinata timidly.
Fuck.
"Oh, yeah," remarked Naruto, grinning at me as he pushed the bottle towards me, "Good luck, bastard."
"I'm not spinning that thing," I spat, refusing to touch it. There's no way in hell I'm kissing anyone besides Naruto. Gross.
"Come on, asshole! Everyone else has to do it too!" he prodded, poking me with the bottle.
"No."
"Saaaaasssuuuukeee…" he whined. Now it was my turn to receive the puppy dog look.
I need to get more backbone.
"Okay, okay! Stop it with that look!" I groaned, "That's not fair, you know I can't resist it." He grinned at me.
"I know." He calls me a bastard, but sometimes he can be a bigger one.
And that's hot.
"Thanks," I said sarcastically as I grudgingly picked up the bottle and spun it.
…
Oh shit.
"CHOUJI?!" screeched Ino, shooting up at the same moment that Kiba and Naruto burst into twin fits of laughter. Oh, thanks. I'm gonna smack both of you as soon as my jaw reconnects with the rest of my face.
"Wha—?" tuned in Chouji. See, he pretty much hadn't been paying attention this whole time since he was eating his chips. Guess he didn't really care.
"You are not kissing Sasuke-kun! Spin again!" she wailed to no avail.
"HAHAHA! Have fun Sasuke-kun," chortled Naruto, falling back on the wood floor with laughter. I flipped him off.
Okay, what the fuck do I do?
…
Uchiha Sasuke, you are a genius.
I stood up without a word, pausing only to shoot Kiba a glare, and walked towards Chouji. Naruto and Kiba wolf whistled as Ino looked like she was about to cry. Sakura looked over at me with a raised eyebrow. Don't worry Sakura, you'll see.
I grabbed a chip from his bag, bit off half of it, and shoved the rest into Chouji's mouth before walking back to my place next to Naruto.
Yup. Genius.
"WHAT?!" burst Naruto, narrowing his eyes at me, "That was not a kiss!"
"REDO IT!" added in Kiba.
"Why? My spit was on that chip, so therefore my spit is in his mouth. It counts as an indirect kiss," I smirked. Kiba and Naruto gaped as Ino nodded vigorously in agreement.
"Yeah, yeah! It counts!" Shikamaru rolled his eyes.
"So we can all do that now?"
"NO!"
"Pfft, well I think we can all tell there are no favorites being played here," said Kiba as he rolled his eyes.
"Fine, from here on out no one else can do that indirect kiss thingy! Not even Sasuke-kun!" she gritted out, glaring at Kiba and Shikamaru.
Well this is wonderful.
"Just in case you've forgotten, I'm still here," I reminded, rolling my eyes.
"Who would forget? You just have this air of bastardy-ness around you that you just can't ignore," mocked Naruto, sticking his nose up in the air in what was probably an imitation of me.
"I'm sure I do," I retorted, sticking my tongue out at him. Who says Uchihas had to be proper all the time?
"Can I spin now?" interrupted Chouji, eyeing the bottle.
"Yeah, go ahead Chouji," prodded Ino, smiling excitedly, forgetting all about her previous irritation with Kiba. Geez, what's wrong with girls? It's just one more reason why I'm gay.
"Okay, here I go!" he called out as he grasped the bottle and twirled it viciously. It spun and spun until it clattered to a stop in front of…
Kiba.
Oh, this is going to be interesting.
"Uhh, so I kinda take back what I said before about the indirect kiss thing," he stammered, smiling shakily.
"HAHAHA! Oh no, dog-breath. You are doing this dare or I'm going to fucking castrate you," cheered Naruto as everyone burst into peals of laughter.
Kiba is never going to live this down.
"Oh god," he muttered as Chouji pushed himself off of the ground and walked towards Kiba. I saw Kiba glance nervously towards Hinata's general direction, who, by the way, was blushing like crazy. Nothing too different. I might have felt bad for Kiba, since I know what it's like to want to look good in front of someone you love, if he wasn't…well…Kiba.
"Sorry," mumbled Chouji as he smashed his lips against Kiba's momentarily and then pulled apart from a pale dog-boy.
"Excuse me for a moment," he squeaked, his voice cracking at the end. Okay, I couldn't stop laughing at that. And just when I thought my laughter was dying down too. I glanced over at Naruto who was trying his best to hold in his giggles as he bit on his lip. My laughter came to an abrupt stop as I focused on those lips.
That's when it really hit home. I had kissed Naruto. Those gorgeous lips had been on mine, ravished by mine; I had pressed harshly against that bottom plump piece of flesh as he pushed back. His saliva had been in my mouth, and mine in his. We had done what I had been longing for so badly, what I needed so badly.
And I wanted more.
I wanted his lips for myself, I wanted no one else to even think about touching him, and I wanted them to know that he was taken by me. I wanted to taste more of him, touch more of him, make him smile for me, laugh for me, and do things to him that no one else had ever done before. I wanted for him to satiate this mind-gripping addiction to him that he had awakened in me as he told me he loved me, and only me. And I wanted this fucking pain to stop.
Because I know those lips will never be mine. I know that eventually they would be claimed by someone else. I know that I would find out someday that he was taken by some other person. I know that he'll find someone who had tasted him, touched him, made love to him, taken his virginity, and his love.
I know that he'll find someone that would take everything I ever wanted.
And it would fucking rip my heart out.
"Sasuke…" I heard his voice. The voice that had been haunting my mind, my dreams, my world for so long.
"Oh, sorry Naruto, I kinda zoned out there," I apologized, trying to force a smile on my face. Why couldn't I smile?
…Damn it, muscles, move! When they finally did, I knew that no one bought it.
"Yeah, right. You've been acting weird this whole time. What's going on?" he asked, narrowing his eyes in worry.
"Nothing. Sorry Naruto, seriously, don't worry about it," I forced out. I didn't look him in the eye; I couldn't. Not now. Shit, I thought I was stronger than that! I thought I had fucking faced the facts that Naruto would never love me. I had forced up walls that had made it bearable to be just his best friend. If I couldn't be his lover, at least I'd be his best friend, at least he cared about me, at least I was on his mind, and at least I had a place in his heart.
And all that reasoning was shattered because of one little kiss.
"Nothing?! One moment you were laughing and then suddenly you just blanked. And then you got this horrible look on your face. You looked like you were about to cry. What the hell brought that on?! You never cry! Listen, bastard, I never wanna see that look on your face again, got it?!" He paused in his rant to glare at me, "If I ever see it again, I'm going to beat some sense into you. I swear I will. You're not allowed to be sad, damn it! Not you."
I couldn't help it…I smiled.
Hearing all that reminded me; it reminded me of exactly why I fell in love with him. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. He knows exactly what to say all the time. He was never one to shoot you a sorrow look and tell you that he was sorry and that it'd all be okay. No, he'd force you back on your feet, tell you there was no reason to be sad, and beat the happy into you if needed.
He understood me completely.
The smile grew into a happy half-smirk, half-grin. "Who's sad?" Naruto blinked, scanning my face for a moment, before he broke into a beaming grin.
"Oh, well there was this weird bastard that was all depressed and completely unlike himself, but I guess he left. Except he left this weirder bastard in his place," he smirked.
"You're funny," I retorted sarcastically. He glared playfully at me and was about to respond when he was interrupted.
"Oh my gosh, you guys. You know how tense that whole ordeal was?" It was Sakura, who was staring at us with wide eyes. I glanced around to see that everyone was wearing a similar expression.
"Yeah, man…" agreed Kiba. Huh, I never even noticed he had come back. "Naruto was right, seeing you so gloomy was downright freaky. And then Naruto started on that whole tirade and…geez…"
"It was scary!" added Ino, shifting her gaze between us.
"Sorry guys," laughed Naruto sheepishly. I flicked his arm lightly.
"Yeah, I'm sorry too," I nodded, before lowering my voice so that only Naruto could hear, "Hey, usuratonkachi." He glared. "I can't tell you what was wrong right now, but…one day I will. I promise."
"Heh, I guess that's a fair deal," he decided, "But that 'one day' better not be like fifty years from now, okay?"
"Haha, okay," I agreed, smiling softly.
"Hey, you two, yeah you two whispering to each other secretively right over there!" called out Kiba, rolling his eyes at us.
"Can I help you?" Naruto replied, mockingly straightening up.
"Why, yes you can! It would be very much appreciated if you would save the lovey-dovey whispering for your alone time."
"Screw you."
"Sorry, I don't think Sasuke would appreciate that very much."
"KIBA!" I laughed as I had to hold Naruto back from launching at Kiba, who was snickering madly.
Despite all the pain of being in love…
Naruto is worth all that.
And I keep falling for him harder every day.
"Bye, teme! See you at school tomorrow! But go online like right now! Sakura-chan said that she wanted to group chat and for me to tell you, and I'll be on as soon as I get home!" yelled Naruto as he rushed out the front door. I rolled my eyes and started upstairs to my room.
So it was 8 o'clock, and everyone had finally left. Luckily, the house wasn't a mess so I wouldn't have to clean it up before my parents come home, which would be just about any minute now.
Click!
"Sasuke! We're home!" That would be my mother, Mikoto Uchiha. I would say that I looked more like her, which would be our hair color and face shape, but I guess I have some of my father's complexion as well. My mother has long ebony hair that fell down her back and delicate heart-shaped face, while my father has shaggy black hair and a broader, stiffer face shape.
"Okay!" I called back from my room, which I was obviously in. My room was probably the most colorful in the house.
And it was not very colorful. The walls were dark blue, with the Uchiha fan imprinted on the ceiling. Pictures of me, Naruto, my friends, and my family were hung up on the wall. I was currently at a wooden desk with a computer atop it, and waiting for the computer to load.
"Sasuke, be absolutely sure that you have finished your homework. Do not disappoint me with unacceptable grades that would put shame to our name," I heard father say. Father and I are not on very good terms. It's not that he's a horrible father or anything, but he puts too much emphasis on the Uchiha name. Needless to say, he was extremely disappointed when he found out that Itachi and I were both gay.
Luckily, while he was very strict, he also had nothing against homosexuals since a good friend of his, and Naruto's father, Minato Namikaze, was bisexual. He was still incredibly angry, though. I don't think I've ever heard so many cuss words in one sentence before. Well done, father. But anyways, ever since that, he decided to put the emphasis on academics.
"Yes, father…I have," I answered back obediently. I barely heard him grunt in approval as my computer finally turned on. I clicked on the icon that would open AIM, typed in my username and password, and waited for it to load. When it did, I looked over the chat names to see who was online.
Ino…
Sakura…
Shikamaru…
Neji…
Gaara…
Lee…
Kiba…
Hinata…
Chouji...
Damn, looks like everyone is on right now but Naruto. Before I could get too annoyed, a light beep and a window popping up on my screen told me that Sakura had started a chat with me.
PiNKflowur352 says: SASUKE!!!!!!!!
UchihaFan says: Yes?
PiNKflowur352 says: Geez, you took forEVER to get online!! :(
UchihaFan says: Pfft, sorry. Naruto stayed over a little longer when you guys all left because he wanted to eat ramen. Then he told me when he ran out the door.
PiNKflowur352 says: lolol relaxxx. I was jk! :] it's totally cute that you and Naruto spent some extra time together!! 33
UchihaFan says: …Shut up. It'd have been better if we were actually together.
Despite Sakura being annoying, she's the only one who I can talk to about Naruto, since she's the only one that knew besides my brother, who blackmailed me with my baby pictures to tell him who I liked. I planned to keep it that way. Sakura is actually pretty good at giving advice, even if she's a little pushy about me confessing. The only thing I really have against her is that Naruto had a huge crush on her before, but it's not that bad anymore since he got over her.
PiNKflowur352 says: Awww, im sorry! :( you know, you could be so much happier if you just told him about it!!
UchihaFan says: Aughh, we've been over this before! Even if I did tell him, he wouldn't like me anyways.
PiNKflowur352 says: youre such a retard! maybe he hasn't realized it, but he totally has the hots for you!
UchihaFan says: Even if that was true, if he hadn't realized it, wouldn't that kinda defeat the purpose?
PiNKflowur352 says: yeah, yeah, but if you'd just tell them then BAM! he'll suddenly have this realization that he's always loved you but was too much of an idiot to realize it!
UchihaFan says: Read any sappy romance books recently?
PiNKflowur352 says: oh, shut up!!! we all know youre really a big softie at heart.
UchihaFan says: Definitely, I just hide it from all of you when I really giggle inside every time a new couple gets together.
PiNKflowur352 says: i'll bet you were giggling inside when you and Naruto had that totally hot kiss!
UchihaFan says: Okayyy, end of conversation!
PiNKflowur352 says: ohh, no. you are going to tell me every little bitty detail! :D
UchihaFan says: No.
PiNKflowur352 says: yes!!
UchihaFan says: What happened to that group chat of yours?
PiNKflowur352 says: dont change the subject!!
UchihaFan says: Well?
PiNKflowur352 says: ughh, you are so stubborn! i kinda wanted to get the juicy details before i added you to it, but i guess it cant be helped. stupid uchihas :(
UchihaFan says: Haha, sucks.
PiNKflowur352 says: thanks for the sympathy. i'm adding you now.
The words "PiNKflowur352 has invited you to a group chat! Accept or decline?" flashed on my screen, and I immediately clicked the 'Accept' option. Another window popped up, containing the group chat.
k9dude says: oh grosssss its da asshle
UchihaFan says: Oh grosssss, it's your spelling.
k9dude says: touche (1)
BlondeMissy says: hiiii, Sasuke-kun! :)
UchihaFan says: Hi…
Almost right after I sent my message to the chat, a beep sounded out of my speakers. I opened up the chat list to find that it was Naruto. Finally! I was gonna invite him, but Sakura beat me to the punch.
PiNKflowur352 says: oh! you guys, naruto is on now!!! im inviting him as we speak.
BlondeMissy says: it's as we type, fatso.
PiNKflowur352 says: stfu.
RamenizForever3 has joined this conversation.
RamenizForever3 says: heyyyy u guys! :P
UchihaFan says: Gosh, took you long enough.
RamenizForever3 says: srry, bastard. when youre me, u havta look good even when u go online. but u wouldn't know. lol
UchihaFan says: That's because I always look good, so I don't need time to prepare myself.
RamenizForever3 says: riiite.
Relaxingisfun856 says: I see you two are still bickering on the internet too, as usual.
k9dude says: -rolls eyes- (2) wuldnt have it any other way…
Outside of the chat, a smirk found its way on my face. Despite his sarcastic tone, I felt truth behind his words. The light quarrels between me and Naruto…
I wouldn't have it any other way.
A/N-
(1) - Instead of it having the accent on it, like touchè, it's just touche because Kiba doesn't know how to do the accented 'e'.
(2) - It's just like when you chat with your friends (and I know you do this) and you indicate an action like that or with asterisks or whatever you use. He is NOT doing it in real life. :P
WAS THAT THE CORNIEST THING YOU'VE EVER READ OR WHAT? ;_; I apologize.
Wow, the mood really changed in this chapter a lot. T_T Sorry! And in case you thought that the whole group chat thing on AIM was completely pointless, it was basically there to get more into the relationship between Sasuke and Sakura, and how Sakura wants to help and stuff. I needed to somehow introduce that. ;)
Also, yes, Ino is a Sasuke fan-girl and will flirt with him constantly, but I don't want to make her a total whore and bitch. Why? Because while she likes Sasuke a WHOOOOLE lot, Naruto is still her friend and everything, so yeah. But mostly because I'm afraid I'm going to get a little too carried away with that. e_e Eheh.
'Till the next chapter!
REVIEW!!!
