X-X-X Rules of the Bathroom X-X-X
Chapter 6
Iruka sat silently as Naruto sat on the other side of the couch, looking his dad right in the eye, he took a deep breath. Rubbing the back of his neck, he searched for the way to break it to his dad gently. He decided to just be straightforward.
"Dad, I'm gay."
Iruka's eyes widened but he didn't say anything as Naruto continued.
"I got together with someone at school and now…" Naruto stood and started pacing, arms waving as he tried to convey his emotions. "Now whenever I see him, I feel like shit. He acts like nothing happened and I Know I agreed to it but… I just can't do it anymore. Does that make any sense?" He looked at Iruka with tears glistening in his eyes.
Iruka nodded, "Sure Naruto but…"
Naruto returned to the couch, looking his dad straight in the eyes, "I want to transfer to a new school."
"Now?" Iruka's voice squeaked a little, "It's the middle of your senior year… Have you thought this plan through? I mean your credits might not transfer, and then you have all your college applications to consider. It'll be a big mess."
"You can help me with that right?"
Naruto's voice was hopeful but determined, Iruka wanted to reassure him but felt the need to teach him some responsibility. "Yes, but Naruto, I don't think this is a good idea, you can't just run away from your problems."
"Just this once, please?"
"You say 'just this once', but then you'll make a habit of it… can't you hold out for a little longer? Graduation is only a few months away; you'll never have to see this guy again if you don't want to."
"I Can't. When I see him I can't breathe, you probably think I'm just being overly dramatic, but I know I'm not. A part of me wants to be with him even though whenever he walks by me like I'm not there I want to die." Naruto's bright blue eyes locked with Iruka's as he delivered the final blow, "Please… I'm afraid of what I might do."
Iruka gasped, "Okay, I'll take care of it, You can start at your new school on Monday."

Naruto held his breath as he peeked around the corner of the drama wing at the angry guy that he'd narrowly avoided being cornered by a few seconds ago. He watched as Sasuke stalked off in the direction of the cafeteria with his fists clenched at his sides.
Naruto had been successfully ducking Sasuke for the past three days and he was looking pretty pissed off about it. Today was the last day he'd have to worry about it though, since it was Friday. It was already half over too, so he had been really lucky so far. His next class was History, one of the two classes he shared with Sasuke, so he figured his luck had run out.
His only hope for peace was Sasuke's respect for the educational system.
'Doomed… Fuck, I am so doomed.' Naruto thought, 'Sasuke has some respect for the educational system but not That much." Naruto could just imagine the fight now, the yelling and the excuses, mostly on his part. He so didn't want to deal with that, but he had no choice, he'd skipped History the last two days but Iruka's lecture the previous night put an end to that.
The blond spent the next twenty minutes sitting in the auditorium, not feeling like lunch, too worried to feel in the least bit hungry. He finally made his way to class, sat in his usual seat and waited for the blow-up. He had thought telling Gaara that he was leaving had been difficult, but this made that conversation seem like a walk in the park. Students started filing in, their voices accumulating, but to Naruto they were white noise.
He didn't see Sasuke.
Fifteen minutes passed and Kakashi arrived and sat at his seat but still, no Sasuke. 'Where did he go?' Naruto thought, even though he knew they'd just get into a big fight he couldn't stop the excitement building inside him. The PA system kicked on and everyone stopped talking and listened… to Sasuke's voice over the intercom.
"Since a certain dobe can't get it through his head that it's not just about sex and that I love him, I thought this might get the message across."
A song began to play;
What I leave,
And when you go,
What I see,
And what you show,
And what I guess,
And when I don't,
It's something you already, already know,
'Staind… All I Want… Sasuke is playing this for me?' Naruto couldn't believe it; didn't Sasuke say that he didn't listen to sappy crap…? The blond's mind was reeling… Had he been wrong the whole time? Did the bastard care about him and just has a strange way of showing it?
Some of the students gasped and the surrounding din escalated greatly but Naruto still didn't really notice. He got up with a big grin on his face and ran for the door, mentioning to Kakashi on the way that he had to go to the bathroom, he was sure the teacher didn't believe him in the slightest but waved his hand to let him go anyway.
The blond's rapid steps echoed in the empty hallway as Naruto hightailed it to the office.
I can't live without,
All I think about,
All I want is you,
You're all I dream about,
I can't live without,
All I want is you,
During the instrument break, just as he was rounding the corner of the second floor hallway, Naruto heard, "Just to clear up any confusion, yes, I'm talking to you Naruto, you blond idiot."
"Still a jerk, even when he's confessing," Naruto mumbled to himself.
Is You…
Arriving at the office as the last chords of the song faded away, Naruto noticed it was completely deserted…Weird. He opened the inner door to the intercom room and saw Sasuke leaning against the wall, waiting patiently. The blond closed the door behind him and crossed his arms over his chest, his heart pounded, a big relieved grin stretched across his face.
"You couldn't have just told me sooner?" He couldn't help teasing Sasuke, he then noticed Sasuke's black eye, "What happened to your face?"
"Gaara. I talked to him during lunch to ask him what your problem was and he punched me." Sasuke tried to glare and winced, "He said you were leaving because of me and if I didn't fix it he would murder me and dance on my grave, and Lee said he would help dispose of the body. And what, you can't figure things out without being told?"
"You're confusing bastard! You can't communicate for shit."
"Don't even talk to me about communicating, you weren't even going to tell me you were leaving, you were just going to take off."
Naruto looked at the floor, shame at his own cowardice coloring his cheeks red; he scuffed his sneaker lightly on the carpet. "I was going to call you." He looked back up at Sasuke trying to read his expression, afraid he'd blown his chance entirely. "But it's really true? You love me?"
"Yes dobe," Sasuke smirked then sighed in exasperation, "As I've been trying to Show you for the past week, do you think I make a habit of fucking people I don't care about?"
"But… You said you wanted to be fuck buddies! You suggested it!"
"I was just throwing out ideas, I wasn't being serious. And anyway You were the one who freaked out when we were found out."
"That's cus I thought you'd be upset."
"I wasn't, until you freaked over Gaara finding out, I thought you were in love with him… You're not, right?"
"Of course not! But… in the mall! You said you wanted to continue being secret fuck buddies until we 'got bored and found something else to do' what else was that supposed to mean?"
"I was trying to make you think you had an easy out clause while I got you addicted to sex. And You suggested we remain secret, I was doing what you wanted."
Sasuke's previous actions began to take on a whole new meaning, he was still a jerk but he was a jerk that cared about him. "So when people asked about the scratches on your back you didn't tell them because you thought I didn't want anyone to know?"
"Yes, and since you haven't noticed dobe, I'm a very private person. Exactly as I said, I didn't think it was any of their business."
Over the course of their discussion they'd gotten closer until they were nose to nose. Sasuke reached out and cupped the back of Naruto's neck with a pale hand, pulling him slowly forward. He claimed the blond's lips, not pulling away until they were both breathless. "Next time I'll be sure to tell the guys in the locker room how much of an excellent fuck you are, but if they touch you I'll kill them… Okay?" His hand settled on Naruto's ass.
"Now you're just being a dick."
Sasuke shrugged, looking at his watch he said, "You should get back to class, I doubt if Gaara's distraction will last much longer."
Naruto looked at him in confusion.
"Did you see how everyone in the office is conspicuously absent?" Naruto nodded, "It was Gaara's idea to duct tape Lee to the wall in the Gym, Lee started screaming and then when they went to investigate he locked them in there for a bit."
Naruto moaned and bucked against Sasuke as the brunet started to rub his backside. "You should go or I will not be responsible for any upcoming perversity."
"Wanna go find a bathroom?" Naruto suggested with a wicked gleam in his eye.
Fin
Wow, (wipes forehead) finally finished!
It's kind of a cute ending.
Sorry if anybody's disappointed, it's shorter than the other chapters and I'm really sorry it took me forever! I mean for-goddamn-ever, feel free to complain about it. I really have no excuse, (tear) my inspiration kinda died and everything I wrote was crap, and I feel like you guys deserve the best.
Also feel free to tell me I'm awesome, I have a very large ego and it likes to be stroked often. .
