Chapter Four: Shino's Bugs
(Sasuke's POV)
"Sex Ed. Today, we will go over how to put a condom on, and safe sex. Any questions?" Yamato-sensei announce from the front of the class.
I looked around the class with a bored expression. I raised an eyebrow when Naruto raised his hand.
"Yes Naruto."
"I already know all of this, so can I just take a nap?" The class grew loud with laughter and Naruto kept a serious expression before cracking a small smile. I rolled my eyes and sighed.
"If you can dobe, show us." I replied quickly. No, I didn't raise the challenge to know his sex skills. Nope, of course not.
Naruto growled at me and snatched up a condom and at me the whole time, he rips the packet open with his teeth and finger and I watch as he pinches the top and slowly rolls the condom on.
Because Naruto was staring at me, he wasn't paying attention to the condom. I smirked as I notice the condom catch onto the tip of the banana and Naruto tug it down. The rubber springs from his hand and flings off the banana and hits him on the nose.
"Well then dobe, no nap for you then." I smirk as his face flushes an angry red. He settles in his seat and uses a book to cover his face.
"Okay, Yamato-sensei, can we get on with the lesson?" Sakura asked, inspecting her nails.
Yamato laughs at Naruto's demonstration before showing us the correct way of putting a condom on and then starting a video about safe sex. I glanced over at Naruto, who watched the correct way of putting on a condom before dozing off during the video.
The class ended soon and I watch Sai slap Naruto on the head, waking him up. He jumps up
and falls out of the desk. "The fu-" He starts.
"Naruto, don't finish that word." Yamato butts in. I smirk and walk to my locker.
I was shoving books into a neat order and taking out the ones I needed when an arm bumped into mine.
"Hn,"I hiss and throw a sideways glance at the culprit. Blonde hair.
Another arm bumps into me, this time harder. That's it!
I slam my locker shut and I turn around in time to get a face full of blonde hair and to catch a falling body.
I shove the blonde behind me and glare at the person. I back up in surprise to see Naruto staring at me with a look of hurt in his eyes. That's when I hear a snicker come from behind me.
I spin around, I might be a bit dizzy, but I steady and my vision clears. Mizuki. (I know I spelled it wrong before. Sorry)
"What happened Naruto? You're not going to be a pussy about this, are you?" Another snicker.
"A pussy cat, that is."
I see Naruto flinch slightly before throwing Mizuki a dirty glare. He opens his mouth but I cut in.
"Look dick breath, leave before I beat the shit out of you, again, and then let you watch as I cut your pinky sized dick off and shove it up your ass." I add a dark glare and tighten my fist. He slinks back a bit and turns away. "And take your sissy followers with you."
I motion at the group standing behind him, and they turn tail and catch up with their lame leader. I moan in irritation, and rub my temples.., a headache forming. I turn back to Naruto, but his back is turned to me and he walks to Iruka-sensei's class. Did I do something wrong?
Shrugging, I tuck my books under my arm and follow behind Naruto. Finally, the last period of the day, and then I'm off to make dinner before Itachi can give me food poisoning.
The bell rang as I sat down. I throw a quick glance at Naruto, but he's looking away with his head in his arms on the desk. I frown and open my book, but I don't read a single word.
Iruka-sensei walks out of his office and began writing something on his whiteboard. I notice how he looks over at Naruto and gives a small smile at the sleeping form, but upon further inspection, his smiles turns into a frown and I see him sit down quickly.
"Today, we're starting poetry, and I have a fun project to do." Half the class cheers, while the other complains. "Wait children, it acquires a partner. You may choose if you want, but the project is due tomorrow at the beginning of class." A few more people cheered.
"Directions are on the board and begin, try to keep the talking to a min, please." I notice that after he directs us to the board, he pulls out his phone and begins to tap furiously. After a few minutes, someone's phone buzzes and in the corner of my eye, Naruto shifts in his seat.
I was about to ask Naruto to be my partner, when a pink blob blocks my vision. "Hey Sasuke, wanna partner up?" Sakura asks while trying to puff out her barely there chest.
I frown. "No thank you." I push her out of the way and take a few more steps towards Naruto.
Then Ino stops me. Again, I refuse her offer. I only have one person in mind.
Upon reaching Naruto, Kiba barks. "Naruto bro, partners?"
"Nope, I want an A, not a F, now go away dog breath." Naruto completely hides his face and nuzzled deeper into his folded arms.
I frown, and eyed him cautiously. "Alright, when you get that stick out of your ass, talk to me," Kiba turns away and waves at Shino. "Hey Shino, partners?" Shino barely nods and they push their desk together.
I walk around Naruto's desk and sit in the empty desk in front of him. Straddling the chair, I fold my arms over the back and rest my chin on my arms.I can do this.
"Hey dobe. I need a partner, you need a partner. How 'bout it?" I ask casually, or at I hope I sounded cool and calm.
He mumbles something, but it's muffled and I couldn't make it out. Irritation sparks.
"Dobe, why don't you lift up your head, so I can understand you." I hope that my annoyance was laced in my voice.
Naruto's head shots up, and I guess it was. "Teme, go away." He glares at me. I simply smirk and pocket my hands.
"No dobe, now what kind of poem do you want to do?" I ask, letting a small smile settle on my lips. His eyes widen in complete shock. He sits up properly and his eyes narrow in suspicion
"Sasuke-bastard, what are you doing?" He asks as I take out some paper and label it Poetry Project, write both our names (struggled not to encase them in a heart), and date it.
"I'm setting up our project. Now dobe, what kind of poem do you want to write?" I ask again. No annoyance, and no irritation. Just patience.
"No, I mean why are acting like this? First, your rude, then you defend me, which I could have taken care of myself, but thank you anyways, and now you want to be my partner. You sure you didn't hit your head this morning?" He looked annoyed but a look of need was evident in his blue eyes.
I feel my own eyes widen and I clear my throat. "No, I didn't hit my head, and no matter what you think about me, bullying is wrong. And honestly, I rather work with you than anyone else in this room." I chuckle softly at my last sentence and watch relief fill his eyes and see a huge grin plastered on his face.
"Teme! We should write about ramen. Because it's the best food there is, obviously." Naruto took out his own sheet of paper and started jotting down ideas. I got up and rearranged the desk to sit next to Naruto.
I don't know if it's a trick of the light, but a light blush covers his cheeks. Yeah, it's the light. Right?"It should be about death." I just want to see his reaction. I hide my smirk by tapping my pencil on my lips.
"WHAT?! We are not writing a poem about death! IT will be full of happiness and ramen!" Naruto waves his pencil in my face and pokes my nose. I sneeze softly and both Naruto and I freeze.
I stare at him with pleading eyes. "Don't say any-"
"Oh, my gosh. That had to be the cutest man sneeze ever." Naruto replied softly, as if not believing what he heard.
A light blush settles on my face, and I look away. "S-shut up, and we are not writing about ramen, so find something else." Naruto grins and his eyes gleam over with something I couldn't make out.
"Whatever bastard. Bless you, by the way." Naruto turns back to his paper and taps his eraser on the desk.
"Oh, how about, we write about something that we don't know about each other. I will write one half, and you write the other. It can be anything, no matter how silly, as long as the other doesn't know about it. How does that sound?" Naruto lights up and looks at me with huge begging blue eyes. I feel my stomach turn into knots as I look into those eyes.
"Hn," I couldn't form words. Were his emotions always so visible in his eyes? And Jesus, his eyes are gorgeous. Ah, focus, write, what doesn't he know about me. Think.
Got it!
I begin scribbling down ideas and things Naruto wouldn't know about me.Itachi, I'm gay, my parents, tomatoes, my crush, and... I can't think of anything else. Whatever.
Parents and Itachi. I look at the board. Don't have to share, just completed with 20 lines or more.
Deciding on my family, I begin to form ideas. As I press down on my pencil, the lead breaks. I curse loudly and stand up. As I walk away to the sharpener. Shino stands up too and bumps into Naruto. He quickly apologizes and waits for me to finish.
I slowly walk back, watching a gigantic spider crawl around on Naruto's shoulder. And a complete oblivious Naruto, who's happily writing away.
"Um, Naruto, don't look, but there's a spider on you." I point out standing a few steps away from
him. Naruto looks up in confusion and then glances at his shoulder. He screams and his eyes widen to the size of two oceans. I watch in a panic as he jumps up and begins to shake violently.
He slaps the spider off his shoulder and doesn't stop there. He pats his whole body down in a frantic search and spins widely. Not noticing that he's spinning towards me, he trips over his own foot, and crashes into me.
It happened in a flash. There was a panicking Naruto and then pain in my head, chest and ass.
I wince and open my eyes. When did they close?I look and access the position I'm in and froze.
I was laying on my ass, propped on one elbow. My other hand resting on Naruto's hip. My right knee was bent up and the other was trapped in between Naruto's thighs. Said person was sprawled out on top of me. Arms splayed on my chest, hips pressed against mine. Knee resting on my dick.
Naruto moaned out in pain and moved around. His knee rubbed my cock and it took every
ounce of willpower to hold in my moan. Naruto kept moving around until he was now straddling my waist.
"Naruto, don't move." Shino stated calmly. He picked the spider off of Naruto (when did it crawl back on?)and Naruto began panicking again. In his panic, Naruto grinded his cock into mine and I had to forcefully grab his hips and shake him. His felt limp and his lips crashed into mine. Both our eyes were wide and reflected in the others.
At least he stopped moving, but now we're kissing. His lips are definitely own mine. Wait, I just have to make sure.I grip his hips and push his lips apart and explore his wet cavern with my tongue. I can't help the soft moan that escaped me. My eyes close and I bask in the warmth that's Naruto.
A snap of a few pictures and my eyes snap open. Naruto stares at me with bug eyes and jumps off of me. I whine at the lost of contact but I slow my heavy breathing and think about Itachi and Deidara, and what they do at night.
Sadly, my cock goes limp and I sit up. Rubbing my head, I dust off my clothes and stand up. I see Kiba laughing his ass off, if Shino is showing any emotion, it was hidden behind his hood, and the rest of the class was staring at the both of us in complete shock.
I looked back at Naruto. His whole face and neck were colored red and he was rubbing his elbow shyly. I opened my mouth and closed it. It was completely silent in the class.
After a few awkward seconds, Iruka-sensei clears his throat. "Alright class, back to work. Thank you Shino for taking care of the spider. Naruto, Sasuke, you two okay?"
I nodded and Naruto looked up. "Yeah dad, I'm fine." And with that everyone went back to work. Naruto and I sat back down, but there was more distance between us, and people would occasionally throw a glance at us.
"So dobe, since we were held back for some reason, why don't you come over and we can finish the poem at my place?" He looks up at me suddenly. "Or your place if you want?" I could hear my heart beat faster but I take slow steady breaths and relax. But all I can think about is his lips on mine.
My shaft was slowly coming back to life and I had to shake away the dirty thoughts from my head. No, I will not fuck him on the desk. No, I'm not thinking about shoving my cock up his ass. Nope, not thinking about him at all.
I squirm as I wait for his reply. "Um, sure. Let me tell Iruka. Just stay after class and Kakashi can drive us home." He smiled and it with to my groin. Jeez, I need to relieve this as soon as I can.I raised my hand and asked to use the bathroom.
{::}
The bell rang loud and clear and I sighed in relief as the class moved the desk back in place and left. I leaned back in my desk as I waited for Iruka to come back from his teachers meeting. Naruto was sitting in Iruka's chair behind his desk. He leaned back and crossed his legs on the desk.
Naruto is leaning over Iruka's desk. We are alone in the room and we have 30 minutes to ourselves. Naruto props himself on his elbows and wiggles his ass around absentmindedly. Feeling a surge of courage I stand up and walk behind him. I cup and squeeze his ass and Naruto moans. Arching his back and pressing into me, he whines.
"Sasu-.. nghhh" I thrust my erection into him. "Please" I rock my hips into him and roam my hands to the bulge in his pants. I palm his clothed erection and I smirk as he struggles with either grinding into my erection or into my hand.
"Sasuke.. please..." I remove my other hand from his ass and move it up under his shirt. Gliding my fingers up through his delicious abs and over a perk nub. I pinch a nipple and Naruto squirms and moans loudly.
"Sasuke." He replied breathlessly.
"Sasuke?" This time he sounded normal. Like nothing was happening.
"Sasuke? Earth to Sasuke. Kakashi is here now." Huh? That shouldn't be in my day dream.
My eyes snap open and a person I guess is Kakashi has a sly look in his eye, and Naruto is staring at me confused and concerned.
"Hn, I'm fine dobe. Let's go." I said cooly and stood up. Throwing my bag over my shoulder, we stop by our lockers. The whole time I can feel a pair of eyes watching me and my movements.
I throw in some textbooks and notebooks I don't need and only take the one I need for homework. Slamming my locker shut, I stare back at this Kakashi guy. I never officially met the guy, but I know him. He's Iruka-sensei's boyfriend and he's always volunteering at the school and sometimes attends Iruka's class. With that said, Naruto introduces us.
That sly smile is still on his face, and it's starting to rile up my nerves. I leave my face emotionless as Naruto shuts his locker and we make our way to Kakashi's car.
As I was opening the back door, Kakashi's voice stops my movements. "Naruto, why don't you let our guess ride in the front?"
"But why? It's just Sasuke." He jabs a finger at me and I smirk. Kakashi does too and continues on.
"Yeah, but he's still a guess, since he's never been invited over before. Be nice for once. Don't make me tell Iruka you're being rude. That's a lecture neither of us want to hear when he get's home." I watch as Naruto's face pale and immediately opens the door for me and then gets in the back seat.
I smirk at how obedient he is. Guess I know who's going to bottom now.With that in mind, I thank Kakashi and get in. Buckling my seatbelt, I notice a strange look Kakashi has on. It bothers me bit but I leave it alone.
The whole car ride was Naruto and Kakashi bickering back and front. Every now and then I would throw in a 'hn' and maybe an insult at Naruto, causing Kakashi to laugh and Naruto to throw one back. This is what caused the argument we are having now.
"Damn Uchiha thinks he knows everything." Naruto bit out more to himself, but nonetheless I heard him and I smirked in response.
"At least I can put a condom on properly. Wish I could say the same for you." I wave over my shoulder as I follow Kakashi into their apartment. Naruto following behind me.
Kakashi looked back at us with an amused gleam in his eye. "Now, that's a story I have to hear. How about story telling over snacks?" He asked as Naruto closes the front door. I take off my shoes and place them neatly by the door. Naruto kicks his off and leaves them.I smile at how different we are. Little did I know, Kakashi saw that smile, and smiled as well.
Kakashi takes out a ramen cup and throws it at Naruto, who catches it and begins drooling. That shit is gross. And unhealthy.
"What would you like Sasuke?" Naruto turns his attention to e as he waits for his ramen to cook.
"Anything that's actually good for me will work." I smirk at Naruto's expression. He's offended, shocked, and pissed all at the same time. I take the time to appreciate how expressive his eyes are. I swear I could look into them all day. Aw jeez, corny much. Itachi is rubbing off on me.I rub my eyes at the thought.
Kakashi grins again and searches through the fridge. He mumbles to himself about cleaning it out and about how poor their eating habits are. Abruptly, he stands up with a big red tomato. I feel my mouth water. I haven't had a tomato in a while. Itachi stopped buying them because their wouldn't be any left by the time he needed them for dinner. Guilty as charged.I smile as I listened to Naruto tell Kakashi about the condom and Kakashi shrugging.
"You don't need the damn class, when I'm standing right here. I knew where to get the good shit." Kakashi stated proudly. I snort and quickly cover it with a cough.
A few minutes passed and we all made small talk.
"Do you like tomatoes? Iruka really needs to buy more vegetables." Kakashi asked sheepishly.
He turns the tomato in his hand and rinses it in water and dries the tomato off. He hands it to me and I practically snatch it up and take a huge bite out of it.
The tomato bursts with flavor and I chew happily. Naruto and Kakashi look at me with bewilderment and I just shrug. I chew and swallow.
"Hn, I just like tomatoes." I said curtly and take another big bite, savoring the taste. I close my eyes and sigh in contentment.
"More like really like tomatoes. You're practically drooling over it." Naruto laughs and the microwave beeps. He takes out his ramen and blows on it.
"Just like how you drool over ramen?" I ask, swallowing. He scowls over his ramen cup and slurps up some noodle. A dribble of juice runs down his chin and I find myself leaning closer to lick it up.
"Would you like a napkin, Sasuke?" Kakashi asked. I stop my movements and finish eating my tomato. I notice that I too made a mess, and tomato juice was running down my wrist and the corner of my mouth. I wonder if Naruto wanted to do the same thing.
Then I notice the way Kakashi said my name. Like he was implying that he knew what I wanted to do. I took the napkin he held out for me and thanked him. I glare at him for a second and get an amused smirk in reply. Of course he would know. He's not as dense as Naruto and he has been eyeing me the whole time.
I wipe my mouth and throw the paper towel away and clear my throat. "C'mon Naruto, we have a poem to write and I have to be home before Itachi. Lord only knows what he will put in my dinner." I shiver at the thought and look Naruto in the eye.
"Oh, right. Poem." He quickly finishes his ramen and throws his cup away. "Bedroom is this way." He began leading me to his room. I felt my heartbeat race and sweat begin to form in my palms. Taking a deep breath I follow him.
I didn't even take five steps before I heard Kakashi speak up. "Bedroom Naruto? Don't you mean the kitchen table?"
I blink a few times in confusion and I see Naruto tense up. He turns around and shakes a fist at Kakashi. "NO! I refuse to do homework at the table. I'm 18 I can do my damn work in my room." He bellows at the silver hair man. Then in a softer tone. "Just tell me when Irka gets home. Can't
piss mom off."
Kakashi smirks and laughs again. "You're lucky your mom isn't here to hear you call him that."
"Well, he acts like one. No wonder you top." Naruto smirks devilishly and my heart stops. Now I'm not too sure who's going to top anymore. That look screams dominance. I chance a glance at Kakashi. He turns his amused look onto me and winks.
My heart begins to beat again and realization dawns on me. Damn prick did this on purpose.
I growl lowly and and follow Naruto to the table and sit down across from him. I unpack my bag and get the paper I used in class out.
Poetry Project Naruto Uzumaki & Sasuke Uchiha October 1st
Parents. Their death. How I handled it.
And that's all I got. I know it's personal, but I want Naruto to know about it, and this is how I can do it.
Naruto does the same thing and takes his paper. There looks like there's more on it than mine. Kakashi sits at the head of the table with a video camera in hand. He has a few tools around him and he begins taking it apart.
"So ten lines, about something your partner doesn't know about you, and due tomorrow." I heard Naruto say out loud.
"Hn," It was a hn yes. Naruto smiled and began writing.
"So what are you writing about?" He asked while I was thinking about how to write this poem.
"You'll see when I finish it." I answer and begin to write a few lines.
"And why can't you just tell me?" He replies a bit annoyed. I shrug and then remember he can't see me.
I glance over at Kakashi. Though he's fixing his camera, I can tell he's listening to our conversation. "Dobe, like I said, you'll see when I'm done." I replied softly.
Naruto stopped writing and looked into my eyes. His eyes that showed annoyance transformed into a knowing look and he nodded. What did he see in my eyes?"Alright, just make sure it's ten lines."
Kakashi choked on some air and looked between the two of us. I looked at him and blinked in confusion. Naruto didn't argue back. That's rare. Kakashi looked surprise and raised his eyebrow at me. I shrugged and read through what I wrote. I nodded, pleased. Sounds good so
far.
I was writing my 7th line when a felt a foot kick mine. My grip on my pencil tighten and I looked up at Naruto, who looks pleased. I kick back and he winces a bit. I smirk, and he glares. I felt his big toe ram into my shin. I bit my tongue to stop myself from crying out.
I aim for his calf and he jumps up a bit. I look at Kakashi. He's engrossed with his camera.
"What are you doing?" I hissed softly.
"Trying to have some fun, now shut up teme." He whispered back. he smiles playfully and I feel my Sasuke Jr. jump up. Shit.
Naruto's foot nuzzles mine and pokes my leg. I return the favor and freeze when his foot trails up my leg. I kick his leg again, a little harder than before. I will not let him turn me on here. He glared at me and mouths 'ouch'. I smirk and shrug.
He trails his foot again and I glare at him. Alright, two can play this game. I run the front of my foot up the side of his leg. I hook my foot under his knee and pull his leg closer to me, spreading his legs further apart.
I look up at him. His eyes are an icy blue, but as I rub my leg into his jean clad thighs, they fill with lust. Right now, I thank god for having long legs. I continue my journey up until I stretched my leg as far as I can. Naruto's breath hitches and I pull my leg back and smirk.
"If you too are done playing, you have homework to finish." Kakashi announced in a playful tone. I smirk as Naruto's face turns to a lovely shade of red.
"Whatcha working on Kakashi?" Naruto shakes his head and looks over at Kakashi.
"Noting the subject change." He smirks. "I'm fixing this camera, along with a few Point of View camera's and connecting them the recorder. You see that?" Kakashi points to the laptop across the room. "Well, when I turn on the POV camera's and the recorder, I can watch what happens on this," He lifts up the recorder. "On the laptop. These." He holds up with look like small spy camera's. "These are either tied onto someone or placed somewhere in a room. they video tap what happens and the recorder tapes it. Then I can transform the video onto my laptop and edit the video there."
I blink in surprise. I never thought that he would be able to do that kind of stuff. I look at Naruto and see he' grinning devilishly again and so is Kakashi. Now I feel left out.
"So that's what you do at work, right?" Naruto asked nodding toward the equipment.
Kakashi nods. "I did tell you and Iruka that I was bringing home some stuff that broke down. I still have that special gift for you Naruto, just don't tell Iruka." Naruto jumped up at that part, a small blush settling on his cheeks. My curiosity pikes up.
"What kind of work do you do?" I asked, setting my pencil down. The both of them smirk at me and I blink a few times.
"Well, you can say I'm some sort of photographer." Kakashi replies, and Naruto snorts. I frown.
"And this special item?" I'm sure pure curiosity is evident in my voice because I can hear it myself.
"That's a secret. Can't tell you." Kakashi replies quickly. I feel my eyes widen and nod.
"Okay.. secret." I look over at Naruto who's blush deepened. "Hn," I shake my head and finish my part if the poem. I slide it over to Naruto. Kakashi laughs at my confused face and settle back into fixing his camera's.
"What's this?" Naruto eyes the paper.
"It's my poem dobe. what else would it be?"
"Teme," Naruto begins reading. I lean back and watch as his narrow eyes slowly widen. His eyes move from left to right and down the paper. A tear forms at his eye and he quickly wipes it away. I feel my heart somersault into my throat as I watch the emotions flash in his eyes.
"Naruto? You okay?" Kakashi asked, he actually sounds pretty worried. I gulp. Naruto nods and wipes away another tear. My insides tighten and I frown.
"Sorry, if it's bad. I don't write a lot." I admitted. Naruto looks up at me with huge sad eyes. His tears giving them a glassy look and I feel my blood heat up under his glare.
"This isn't bad at all. Sorry for crying like a baby." He chuckled and handed the paper back to me. I frown at it and he wipes away the rest of his offending tears. "It just reminded me of some things." He said softly. He meant for himself only to hear it, but I did. I look at Kakashi, and knew he heard it too.
I heard the front door open and Iruka announce that he's home. Naruto's sad face lit up and he jumped out of his chair. He ran into Iruka's arms and hugged him tightly.
Kakashi smiles and stands up too. I frown and he sends me a questioning look. In a quiet voice I answer he silent question. "Never trust a hug, it just hides a person's face."
Kakashi stared at me with a wide eye and then understanding crept in. His face softened and he nodded. He ruffled my hair in a loving manner and the act took me by surprise.
He kissed Iruka and they began making dinner in the kitchen. Naruto walked back to the table and looked at me. His movements froze and he stared at me with bug eyes. "Sasuke! What's wrong?"
His question took me by surprise. "Dobe, what are you talking about?"
"Teme, you're crying." His voice and face soften as he stepped closer to me. His hand brushed along my cheek and wiped away a tear.
"I didn't even realize that I was." I said breathlessly. Only y mom and dad ruffled my hair in a loving way. I guess the act took me be surprise.
"What's wrong? Was it your poem? I didn't mean to cry." Naruto started.
"No it wasn't that. Anyways, I should be going." I felt another tear leak from my eyes, and Naruto moved his thumb across my cheek. I closed my eyes and leaned into his touch. I let go of the breath I didn't realize I was holding.
With that, I packed my bag and headed for the door. I thanked Naruto and Iruka. They suggested I stay for dinner. I laughed and said that no one would be there to cook for Itachi and Kakashi offered to take me home. I took his offer.
At first the car ride was silent, besides me giving Kakashi directions. I still couldn't believe that I cried in front of Naruto, and better yet he wiped my tears away. I just noticed that I didn't get to read his half of the poem.
"Why were you crying? If you don't mind me asking." Kakashi asked signaling a left and turning.
I sink into the seat and stare out the window. "My parents were the only ones who ever messed up my hair like that. And well, when you did, it took me by surprise. I didn't even realize that I was crying until Naruto said something." Might as well tell him the truth.
"I didn't know. Sorry." Kakashi said cutting off the garbage truck in front of us.
"Don't be, like you said you didn't know." I replied dryly.
"Will you read me your poem?" He asked. He slowed to a stop at a red light. I could feel his eye on me but I continued looking out the window. I didn't move until the light turned green.
Deciding just to do it, I reach for my bag and pull the paper out of my folder. And I read out loud.
"It started with another normal lovely dinner.
Then there was a call, and they had to leave.
There was kid, and he didn't know what was happening,
At first he was excited, then time passed and he was scared.
Hours upon hours, and they never showed up. Then another call to announce their bad news.
This scared little kid cried rivers and never understood why him, and why them.
He put on a mask of indifference and fell into a dark hole.
It wasn't until he stumbled upon another lonely boy,
That he had someone to understand him and someone to love.
Years and years later, he learned that this boy was the ray of light that showed him the way out of the dark.
The boy finally grew up to learn that his parents left protecting this ray of sunlight.
And the boy smiled for the first time in a while."
A comfortable silence settled in the car.
I decided to break it. "I know it's more than ten lines but I'm sure Iruka won't mind." I shrugged as I pointed to which house was mine. Itachi and I inherited our old house. Itachi is 23 and took over the bills and I live with him.
"Naruto is the light, isn't he?" Kakashi asked putting the car in park. I unbuckled my seatbelt and put the sheet of paper back into the folder and zipped my bag up.
"Yes," I didn't even hesitate.
"It's a lovely poem. If you don't mind, I would like to hear what happened." Kakashi spoke kindly.
Damn, there's something that just gives him a fatherly figure. I shifted in my seat.
"When I was around five or six, my parents got called into work during dinner. My father was the Sheriff of the Police Force. My mom was his deputy. They had been working on a case of a group of murders called the Akatsuki. Story is, they showed up in time to save the child but both parents died. My father died catching a bullet for my mother, who in turn took out the guy. While waiting for backup she found the child. She was trying to unlock the cage they had the kid in when they partner in crime shot my mother. Backup showed up to catch him, but all four parents died that night. And the child in the cage lived. After that Itachi looked after me, and we lived with our grandparents until he was 18 and took custody of me and inherited this house right here." I started to cry softly. I wiped my nose and took a few deep breaths.
"I was depressed. I never ate, missed three months of school, and was forced into therapy after being declared suicidal. My brother tried so hard to cheer me up, but I couldn't stop the hatred from taking over. That kid was Naruto. I was there when Naruto was getting beat up in our freshman year. When Naruto was getting beat up that one day, I overheard him telling the kids that his parents were killed in front of him and he was locked in a cage. It was that moment that I realized that my parents died for Naruto, and though I miss my parents, I'm glad that Naruto lived because like the poem says. He brought me out of the darkness."
I jumped when Kakashi laid a hand on my shoulder. I looked at him and he handed me a tissue.
I wiped away the tears before they could fall onto my lap and join the others that have.
"Everyone has to deal with pain, and suffering. Even if it is for the smallest thing. And everyone deals with pain and the truth differently. I too deal with troubles from my pass, and I still do to this day. It left a hole in my heart that I never thought could be filled, but then I met Iruka and Naruto. And we have to be happy to have friends that fill the void in our hearts. Do you get it?" Kakashi explained in a hushed voice, like he didn't want to hurt a kicked puppy. It irked me, but
in a good way.
"Yeah I get it, but I don't have friends to fill that void, it's still there haunting me. Itachi is the only family I have. And well maybe Deidara. But not really." I said in a stubborn voice.
"Sasuke." Kakashi starts in a stern voice. Did I say something wrong? "I'm telling you this because you don't get it. You think you get it. Which is not the same as actually getting it. Get it?" I stare at him and nod. When did he get so fatherly.
Kakashi continues. "You have family and friends to fill the void. Naruto, Iruka and I are now your family. The second you stepped into my car and into our apartment made you a part of our small, dorky family. Naruto never allows people over, I was quite shocked when he told me we were taking you with us. And I know what your thinking. I've always been this fatherly after spending time with Naruto. I can't help it now." He smiles shyly, and I smile sadly.
"Thanks, you have no idea how much that means to me." I open the car door and swing one leg out of the car.
"Oh and Sasuke." I look back at Sasuke. "The special item I gave Naruto was a dildo. I video tape porn as a living, and I'm planning on putting those spy cams in Iruka's bathroom." He held a finger to his clothed lips and then zipped them. I smirked and nodded.
"I wish you luck and enjoyment. And why would you give Naruto a dildo?" I say swinging my other leg out of his silver Porsche. God he must make a ton of money. I shut the door and Kakashi rolls the window down. I poke my head through it.
He smiled and gave me a two finger salute. Putting his car in reverse, he looked back at me.
"Why? For you of course." And with that said he sped out of my driveway and back towards his place. I blinked a few times, and the words through my head again and again, and again.
For me. Me. Why me? Kakashi giving him a dildo. For me. For Naruto to practice. For me. ... THAT PRICK!

I made spaghetti for dinner and finished all my homework. Itachi was running a little late but I'm sure it was due to work. And then Deidara walked in and it explained everything. thank god I made enough for the three of us. Itachi and Deidara did the dishes and I sat down and re-watched Frozen. Elsa and Anna lost their parents, and they found love warm enough to melt a frozen heart.
Itachi was partially right when he said I liked Frozen because of Elsa. But I like Frozen because it reminds me of Itachi and myself.
Itachi loved me no matter what I did or decided to do. And it was him and a little ray of light, that melted my frozen heart.
I look over at Deidara feeding Itachi a strawberry that I'm guessing he bought at the store today. I saw the love for each other shine in both their eyes. Deidara looks at me and smiles playfully.
He throws a strawberry in my direction and I eat it in one bite. I flick my hand in a lazy salute as a thank you and Deidara smiles in triumph. Okay maybe Deidara is part of this silly family.
Then Itachi looks at me and the love in his eyes intensifies and softens. I return his look and smile a genuine smile. His eyes flicker with shock and then he chuckles softly. Turning back to the T.V, a single thought crossed my mind as I hummed along with 'Let It Go'.
I wonder if he got any tomatoes.
