AN : I have changed the title. "It's Love" seemed too cliché to me so I have to change it, but then I couldn't get the closest one for Naruto's side story other than "Your First Man". I don't know. For me though, writing the plot and outlines of a story is way easier than deciding the title and it's driving me insane, sigh.
This will take random POV, not only Naruto. You can say that this is Naruto's side story (as mentioned above). I am thinking of doing Sasuke's side story as well and the original title of "It's Love" is more suitable for him, or "Don't Worry, It's Love" sounds better, but not now.
Warning has taken place in the first chapter so I will no longer use it on this chapter.

"Your First Man"
A SasuNaru Story
Chapter 002
It had been four years after what had happened between him and his oh-so-called best friend, a certain Uchiha. Naruto had moved on by dating several girls but why-oh-why it always ended up bad. The principle of "have sex after marriage" was long gone from his life. He had stopped going to the church, let alone pray. Because he thought, no matter how many times he prayed or go to the church, he would never feel like he was before. He had fallen in the lake, might as well swim even further. He didn't think that he could get out again after the sin his ex best friend had pulled them both in.
Homosexual is just so wrong, that's what he believed. The Lord created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.
Naruto found himself in front of the store that night. With groceries in both hands, he was ready to go to visit his girlfriend's apartment. That day was also his graduation day but his girlfriend said that he couldn't come because she said that she didn't feel good. She had sudden fever and couldn't accompany him. So here he was, grinning from ear to ear from the idea to surprise his girlfriend. Maybe he could cook her something?
When he arrived at his destination, he was in dilemma whether to press the bell but then it wouldn't be a surprise now would it? So with a smile on his face, he dropped his groceries and went to fish the spare key and twisted it when he placed it inside the keyhole. Slowly he sneaked inside without making any noise. He put the groceries on the kitchen table and left to see what his girlfriend was up to.
Toward reaching her room, he soundlessly opened the door just to find his eyes widened at the scene before front of him. He gasped which earned his girlfriend's attention, who, was being driven by another guy.
Why oh why he had this kind of fuckup life?
First, he had no parents and was living his childhood in an orphanage for five years. Then his best friend raped him and said nonsense that he loved him when they were seventeen for fuck sake. What did they knew about love at such age, anyway? Then he tried to move on by having girlfriends and all of them… All of his five girlfriends, cheated on him with another guy. The only reason he got was the same, he couldn't satisfy them. And the only person he could put the blame for ruining his life was the one and only, Sasuke Uchiha.
If it was not because of him, he would have a normal life. Graduate from university, get a job, get a wife, have kids, and live together happily until death.
…but no… Sasuke Uchiha took it from him and ruined it all!
He had attempted sex with his exes. Just when they were only on foreplay, he had to stop with lame reasons so he could get away from it because he was ashamed. He couldn't get it up. Even he had tried to go with it but when he put the condom, it wouldn't fit because he didn't erect. And during that, Sasuke's face would always cross his mind and instantly he felt guilty.
No, he couldn't be gay. Gay people could just go to hell! Homosexual is just so wrong! It was sin!
Right?
Shikamaru put his cigarette down on the ashtray when his cell phone vibrated.
"Hey."
"…"
"Oh yeah…" Shikamaru paused and eyed his roommate's closed room. "He is sulking ever since he got home few hours ago."
"…"
Shikamaru nodded. "I guess it's another break up." a paused. "He is just in denial. We all know that he loves you. It's just he needs someone to open his eyes."
"…"
"I will…" a nodded. "I will talk to him." a paused. "He will come out if he is hungry, don't worry."
"…"
"We have to end this."
"…"
"I'm sure if he loves you, he would come." a smirked. "I have a plan." a paused. "Good. I will call you again. Bye."
It was nine in the morning and Naruto hadn't come out yet and Shikamaru had had enough this time. So with an indifferent look, Shikamaru lifted his right hand and knocked. "Naruto, wake up."
No answer. "This is too troublesome." Shikamaru sighed and went to his room to retrieve his spare keys of the whole house. When he stood in front of Naruto's room again, he put a key inside the keyhole and twisted it before the room opened to reveal a sleeping Naruto.
Shikamaru sighed. The guy was sleeping like usual, like there was nothing bad had happened… like there was no break up the other day… like it was a usual sunny day like any other day. Shikamaru had begun to wonder if Naruto was serious with the relationship. It made sense if the girls ended up cheated on him. All of the break ups was like a one night thing. Sure Naruto would sulk for the night but then the next day he would be his usual self.
"Naruto." Shikamaru made himself to sit down on the bed and shook the sleeping boy's body but nothing happen other than a groaned.
Shikamaru sighed.
Shikamaru shook his head and sighed when he watched Naruto, still with eyes closed, slurping his cup of ramen happily.
"Hmm Shikamaru you are the best!" Naruto chirped and continued to finish the cup.
He had to know by living together with Naruto for almost four years how to wake him up, a cup of steamed ramen.
"You would never change, would you?" Despite of what had happened between Sasuke and Naruto few years ago, Naruto was pretty the same. Nothing like trauma or something happened to the guy, other than the stubbornness of his denial of him being gay. Naruto should have known why his past relationships never worked out. But then again, the guy was too stubborn to admit his true feeling.
Like he thought, Naruto's despair was like one night thing. Shikamaru couldn't tell, though, what was in Naruto's mind, but judging by the outside, Shikamaru could tell that Naruto was just too naïve with his own knowledge about love. He should have known a guy like Sasuke, which was a genius and always think before doing something, to have taken drastic measure by raping him. But then again, Naruto was too stubborn to understand.
Shikamaru sighed. This had to end. The two loved each other and Shikamaru couldn't help but helping the two, although the idea alone was too troublesome.
"Naruto." Shikamaru eyed the now three empty cups of ramen upside the dining table. He wanted to judge Naruto's hellhole he called stomach but it was too troublesome.
"Yes?" Naruto said after he downed his mineral water, grinning happily.
"What was up?"
Naruto's eyebrows joined together. "…was?" he asked confusedly.
"Yes. Last night. What happened?"
"Ah…" Naruto shrugged. "Another break up."
"As I thought…" Shikamaru whispered. "Cheating?"
Naruto nodded and eyed the empty cups absent-mindedly. "She said that I couldn't satisfy her."
"Always the same reasons…"
Naruto sighed.
"Have you thought about that? Why you couldn't satisfy your girls, I mean…"
Naruto averted his eyes somewhere. "I don't know…" he whispered.
Shikamaru sighed. "You might be gay, you know…"
Naruto instantly looked up at Shikamaru, curtained. "No." he said and took his glass of water and drank them. Suddenly his throat felt too dry to his liking.
Shikamaru shook his head. He should start now. "Sasuke is going to get married next month."
Shikamaru watched as Naruto choked on his own water. "Hey."
Naruto waited until he finished before he stared at Shikamaru in disbelief. "What?"
"You heard me. And by the way, we are invited."
And Naruto left.
Shikamaru sighed. He chose to not follow Naruto this time. He would let Naruto think about the failed relationships and being gay. If Naruto loves him, he would come to Sasuke at anytime and do what's right. The reaction Naruto gave when he said Sasuke was going to get married was enough of proof that he had feelings for Sasuke. Well, that's obvious.
Shikamaru fished his cell phone inside his pocket and speed-dial number three before he put it against his ear. There were three beeps before the other line picked up.
"Yes?"
"I've put the plan into action. Get ready. He could come at anytime."
And the line went dead.
Shikamaru sighed. This better worked because it's too troublesome if it wasn't.
AN : A mysterious conversation between Shikamaru and someone.
Shikamaru, the genius, helped. What is Naruto gonna do next?
I hope that I fulfilled your expectation. No hate to homosexual, okay? All in all, it's just a part of the plot.
This will be three shots. Next will be the last chapter.
So tell me what you think? Until next time, jaa~
