My Only One

The beeping sound woke him up yet again making him want to smash in the clock beside his head. But he controlled his urges as best he could. Although the blonde haired blue eyed boy was never very good at controlling his anger. But it was an inanimate object that was only doing it's job.

Naruto opened his eyes and pressed the button that would make the screeching/beeping noise stop for the day.

"You had better get up and dressed in 5 minutes or you'll miss the bus." His mother's voice called through his door making him hop out of the bed. He so could not afford to miss the bus again.

-XxX-

Naruto walked into homeroom glad he was on time for once and taking his seat at one of the many art tables he'd have to return to by 6th hour. And he hated having just plain art class on a normal day.

"Wooh, that's a sight I've never seen." Sakura commented taking her seat next to the blonde at the table. "Aren't I supposed to be here before you?"

"Funny." He replied giving her a crocked smile. "But I actually woke up on time this morning."

"No way. It's a sign of the apocalypse!" She joked rather melodramatically.

"I'd say get a room, but Naruto's gay." Ino commented sitting across from the two even though that wasn't her assigned seat. Most people either didn't listen or care when it came to assigned seats in an art class.

"Thanks for announcing it to the whole world." Naruto commented sarcastically.

"Naruto, no one else is in the room but us, and we already know." Ino replied.

Naruto looked around and realized she was right before giving the blonde apologetic look.

"You better be sorry." She joked as a few students walked into the classroom finally.

Naruto was slightly self-conscious about his sexuality. The only people who knew about him being gay were his female friends and his Mom. No one else had a clue about it at all. And that was how he wanted it. A secret.

The bell rang and Naruto looked around the room noticing the empty table where someone who usually sat all by himself. But he wasn't here today. Maybe he was sick or something…

He barely had time to think that when he walked in the door. He glanced at no one not even the teacher. All he did was watch his own feet as he tried not to trip on his way to his lonely seat. He chose to sit by himself, although Naruto could never fathom why. His real assigned seat had been at the same table as Ino, but he never sat there, and Ino decided to move and sit with Naruto and Sakura soon after.

Being gay he was justified in saying that the boy was gorgeous. And Ino and Sakura would always agree. He could be the most popular kid in school if only he would talk to someone once in awhile. But he kept to himself and only spoke to the teachers and that was only when they asked him a direct question. But he really was gorgeous. Black hair and dark onyx eyes that rarely looked at you if even at all. His skin was pale but he seemed stronger then most people although the way he kept to himself made him an easy target for people to pick on.

He was smart but he rarely got his homework done on time. He'd turn it in, but it was always a couple days late, sometimes even later then that. To be perfectly honest, he was weird. But still completely gorgeous.

"Good morning, Sasuke-kun!" One of the girls greeted the lonely boy in an attempt to get his attention. "Did you have a nice weekend?" She asked.

He glanced up from his seat at her and grunted but that was all.

"Kimi, you're clearly annoying him!" One of the other girls commented. "Oh, Sasuke-kun…what happened to your wrist?" She asked.

Sasuke's emotionless eyes traveled to this bandaged up wrist before he just looked away from everyone all together. He never spoke and yet everyone was intrigued by him. Including Naruto who was staring at his wrist with growing curiosity.

"Do you think he got into a fight?" A girl at the table next to Naruto's whispered but loud enough for most people to hear.

"Ha. I'd like to see the Uchiha get his ass kicked." One of the guys replied rather loudly. Loud enough for Sasuke to hear because the raven haired boy looked up from his seat towards the guy. "It's what he gets for acting so high and mighty towards everyone all the time."

"That's kinda mean." One of the girls commented with a laugh.

"Hey it's true. I'd pay to thank the guy who kicked the Uchiha's ass…"

"Why don't you shut up before you get all the facts about a situation?" Naruto suggested turning around as he felt the need to defend the lonely boy. "Or you can continue to gossip about shit you don't know a damn thing about."

"Really Uzumaki? You wanna start something?" The guy asked.

"No, but you do." Naruto replied getting ready to defend himself if it became necessary.

"Alright everyone in your seats I'm about to take attendance." Kakashi-sensei announced unaware of the fight that almost broke out but making good time in stopping it because both boys turned around ignored each other the rest of the hour.

-XxX-

"Did you hear the good news buddy?" Kiba asked walking up to Naruto's locker.

The blonde shook his head and gave him a confussed look.

"Apparently you and the Uchiha are an item." Kiba informed him of the new gossip going around. "And that the two of you got into a fight and you broke his wrist. Did you hear about this?"

"No I did not." Naruto answered shaking his head. "Thank you for letting me know though. I'll be sure to patch things up with Sasuke later." He joked.

There was the price he'd be paying for defending the guy. People would now find someway to throw Naruto into the gossip. Never intervene in a gossip story. It will always turn around and bite you in the ass.

"So do you think the Uchiha knows about your relationship with him?" Kiba asked.

"Y'know what. I have no idea." Naruto replied pulling out one book, this way he won't need to return to his locker until after 5th hour, which was still lunch and a class period away. But he had PE, so he wouldn't have time to run to his locker after he finished changing.

Thinking about it the bandage on Sasuke's wrist didn't look like a cast for a broken arm. More like gauze wrapped around a sprained or maybe fractured wrist. Naruto had played enough sports and gotten into enough fights to be able to catch onto the differences.

But Sasuke didn't play any sports; he didn't do anything extra with the school. As far as Naruto could tell the guy didn't have much of life outside school. Not that he ever had much of one while in school.

Naruto had him in PE to and his performance was always up or down. One day Sasuke'll be the best player. The nest he'll perform like he could barely keep himself from passing out on you. Just like some days on a rare occasion he'll get his homework turned in on time. While on others nothing got done. Sasuke Uchiha was a mess of ups and downs.

Naruto had to wander how his parents let him get away with that. Naruto only had his mother for as long as he can remember, but his Mom would kill him if he did that. Sasuke was a complete mystery. A puzzle Naruto could probably never be able to fully understand.

-XxX-

Lunch was hell today. With those stupid rumors going around Naruto didn't feel like hanging out with any of his guy friends. He still couldn't bring himself to tell any of them that he was gay. It would probably just make things too awkward. So instead of dealing with it, Naruto grabbed his sack lunch that he had thrown together this morning and hid in the locker room.

He had PE this hour and so if he just stayed back here, he could just throw his stuff away and change quickly into his shorts and T-shirt and be out before most people showed up. He was sure that someone was going to give either him or Sasuke crap about those rumors.

It's was almost funny really. Even though Naruto was gay, there was no proof that Sasuke was as well. And not to mention that Naruto had never spoken to the guy before let alone became an "item" with him.

After a couple minutes of Naruto silently eating in a room that smelt as bad as it looked ugly he realized that he had to pee. Badly. So he stood up, left most of his uneaten lunch, and began to walk back to the area that held the urinals when a small sight caught his eye. In the area where the showers were was a small dark brown bench you usually sat on while waiting to put the showers to use.

Sitting there with his head in his unwrapped hand as if he had a headache was none other then the Uchiha himself. His bandaged hand at his side looking useless laying there with nothing to do. Maybe the rumors were getting to him more then they were bothering Naruto. But he didn't have a lunch either and just sat there looking almost upset unaware of the eyes of a certain blonde on him.

Naruto looked over at the clock and wandered why he didn't have a lunch. He should be hungry. He'd forgotten about having to go to the bathroom and a whole lot of other things as he turned around grabbed the remnants of his lunch and headed back over to the black haired boy and sat down beside him without bothering to ask for permission.

"Yo, you must be hungry." Naruto noted getting his attention.

Sasuke looked at him shocked for a moment that he hadn't noticed him approach or anything but he didn't say anything.

"What? Are you just going to stare of into space?" The blonde asked after that was all the Uchiha seemed to do.

"No offense…" Sasuke began speaking for the first time ever to Naruto. "But I don't see how anyone can eat in here when it smells so bad."

"So why are you hiding in here?" Naruto asked feeling happy just having the black eyed puzzle speak to him.

"Because the rumors aren't in here." Sasuke replied simply shaking his head as if to say no thank you to the lunch Naruto was offering him.

"Yea? That's why I came in here too. Seems like we think alike." Naruto answered.

"They're spreading rumors about you too?" Sasuke asked apparently he hadn't heard about the newest one, the one about how him and Naruto being an "item."

"Uh…well…" Naruto thought. "Yea, don't worry; I'm sure you'll hear about it by the end of the day."

Sasuke tilted his head but turned away. No emotion on his face.

"So are you shy, or do you generally not like people?" Naruto asked.

"I don't think that's any of your business." Sasuke replied suddenly deciding to dismiss the blonde.

"Wow, you're harsh." Naruto commented. "And after I defended you to."

"Nobody asked you to." Sasuke replied harshly turning back around to look at the blonde. "Nobody, certainly not myself, asked you to stand up for me. I can handle it myself."

"Jeez, stubborn much." Naruto retorted. "But you don't seem that strong." He added with a sigh. "You don't seem like you can handle it, if you end up getting mad at me. And if you haven't noticed, I seem to be the only one besides a group of fangirls that cares to even try and talk to you."

Sasuke stared at him with an unchanging expression. "I don't need someone to make an attempt to talk to me." He said masking his sadness as he would in front of his social worker. "I just want to be left alone."

"You don't mean that." Naruto replied. "Nobody wants to be alone."

"Shut up! You don't know me you can't read my mind!" Sasuke exclaimed getting angry.

"See, you can handle yourself!" Naruto suddenly replied a smile on his face as he laughed a little.

Sasuke was confussed, actually he was more then confussed by the blonde's sudden announcement. "What?" Sasuke asked abandoning his mask as confusion seeped through plain and clear.

"It didn't seem like you believed yourself when you said you could handle yourself." Naruto pointed out. "But when you got angry just then, you were defending yourself. So you see?"

Sasuke just stared at him his confusion not lighting up one bit.

"If you can defend yourself, then you can handle yourself." Naruto explained. "You've never defended yourself before, but you can now!"

"Why's that?" Sasuke asked.

"Because I've trained you! I'm your senpai!" Naruto announced excitedly.

Sasuke looked away finally. "I don't defend myself out of habit, not because I can't." He admitted.

Before Naruto could ask what he meant voices rang through the locker room. Lunch must be over. Sasuke stood up his emotionless mask back in place as he walked away.

The blonde sat there for a moment before a realization hit him.

He'd forgotten to pee. He made a face and rushed over to the urinals before he had an accident.

Here I go

Scream my lungs out and try to get to you

You are my only one

I let go

Cause there's just no one who gets me like you do

You are my only

My only one
