So, this chappy is mostly about Sasuke, kind of. Maybe now you guys won't hate him so much, eh?

Sasuke decided to skip school the rest of they day, he could practically do whatever he wanted since not only was he an Uchiha but the student council president as well as the student with the number one grades in school. He sighed as he returned to the room to pick up his bag, finding that Kakashi had still not arrived. Sasuke turned to a nearby student, "If he ever arrives tell him I'm sick and going home." He received a quick, "Yes sir," before he exited the room. Naruto would probably say he was a coward since he was kind of running away, but he wasn't he was retreating to form a strategy. Sasuke sighed and realized he still had the same feelings for the blond as he had when he was a kid. He was just the immature type person who bullied the person they liked. It was kind of cute to see the blond get riled up every time he even saw his face.

Sasuke remembered the time where they used to actually be what was considered friends before Naruto, left him behind. He frowned he seem to just be fucking everything up lately, but the stupid dobe just had that kind of effect on him. It was all because of Orochimaru, the name was like acid. Somewhere out there, the man who had kidnapped Sasuke and Naruto was still alive and able to torture other poor unsuspecting kids. His hand curled into a fist while the other went to the mark on his neck that bastard had tattooed onto him before they had escaped, claiming it would be the way he could find him again. Sasuke didn't even want to think about the possibility of that happening. The fact he was even standing where he was and free had all been a fluke, and they were extremely lucky that they even managed to escape alive through the vents.

Sasuke and Naruto had ran to his parents house, well at least the best they could in a secluded forest. They had only been able to find a road with a taxi returning from a forest cabin, that taxi was a godsend if he ever knew one. At first the driver hadn't wanted to let two dirty and beaten kids into the car but once he found the Uchiha symbol on Sasuke's back he had accepted all to eagerly. The next day he had come home to his parents murdered in their own bed. He didn't know who did it but he had a suspicion and the fact his own brother had some dangerous connections only helped to aid those suspicions. Itachi had distanced himself from Sasuke ever since their parents deaths, imagine living in the same house and not seeing each other for a year, that happened once.

Naruto had only helped add to the emotional train wreck Sasuke had been at the time when he had forgotten his entire existence. He had come back to school and had wanted to talk with his best friend and when he had, Naruto had called him a 'weird perverted creeper stranger' and harshly told him to go away. Meanwhile, Kiba took the position he once had and Naruto shunned him completely. Sasuke took all of his anger out on the blond and had seemingly made his life hell. It hadn't been him personally to beat the blond up but he had been the main cause of it and hadn't once tried to stop it. He did occasionally leave bandages on the blonds desk but Naruto never figured out it was him. Sasuke scowled, Naruto had actually bragged that there was some cute girl out there who secretly helped him. That comment had earned him a beating from Sakura herself, who quickly told him there was no way anyone would ever like the dorky looking blond, who had glasses and the unusual scars he had before he even met Sasuke. Oh how wrong Sakura had been about that. Sasuke had had a major crush on the boy since the day he met him.

Sasuke recalled the crying boy who had been sitting on the bridge behind Uchiha manor, at the time Naruto had lived alone in a rundown shack at the very edge of where the Uchiha boundaries were. He fondly remembered those dazzling blue eyes who had instantly brightened every time they saw the raven. They met at that bridge everyday after that and eventually Sasuke transferred to public school to be with the blond. He had begged his parents who were sending him to a public school to let him go to the one Naruto was at. Itachi teased Sasuke for a week after that, but he could be with Naruto so he hadn't really cared. After a year Sasuke realized just how much he actually cared for the adorkable blond and then they were kidnapped, the day Sasuke had been planning to tell Naruto.

Now Naruto hated him and it was entirely his fault. Sasuke had to figure out a way on how to basically not be such an 'egotistical bastard' so maybe he could rebuild what they once had. Sasuke knew about Naruto's uncanny ability to forgive, hell, the blond had even forgiven the foster parents who had beaten him half to death and abandoned him in the shack. Without Sasuke, Naruto probably would have starved to death all on his own and it wasn't until Sasuke had 'accidentally' left his old backpack with all of the required books and school supplies next to Naruto's shack that Naruto could attend school. The blond was stubborn and wouldn't accept help unless it was in a roundabout way or he couldn't help it.

Sasuke had helped and cared for the blond the best an eight and a half year old boy could for another person. Now, if he were to go back in time he would do it all differently and maybe not fuck things up so badly. The problem was Naruto was now effectively trying to distance himself from the raven. He had really messed things up when he had kissed the blond, and then he panicked and called it a reward for beating him. Like seriously how much more of an asshole could he possibly be and he hated himself for it. Kindness nowadays didn't come easily after all of the broken promises, but that was no reason for him to be who he was.

Sasuke and Naruto had often bickered even as kids, that part was normal. Bastard, was kind of like an affectionate nickname as well as dobe. They even fought each other several times they would just always make up. The difference now was that there was no making up after the fights. Sasuke walking and hastily threw his crap into his car, he wasn't going to run away, hell he was Sasuke Uchiha.

The raven pulled out his phone, hoping Naruto would get his message.

Meet me on the roof, S.

Sauke's heart nearly leaped out of his chest and committed suicide on the ground when it buzzed in his pocket.

I'm in the middle of class, bastard. He sighed and hastily typed in the response as he walked back into the school and climbed up the steps.

Come anyways, dobe. Sasuke nodded to himself, he was determined to fix this somehow. He opened the door that was supposed to be locked and prepared himself to wait. Naruto was stubborn but class would end in ten minutes and he could wait. This gave him time to plan what he was going to say and exactly how he could fix the mess he made. He mind went back to earlier and he nodded to himself. Sasuke would have to make a proposition to Naruto the blond would definitely take to hit his childhood friend/tormentor. Well, he supposed he could tell the blond about the condition and tell him what it was afterwords. Sasuke looked up when the blond burst through the door, his bag on his back and phone clutched in his hand.

"What do you want now, Sasuke? I already told you I would stay away." Naruto scratched his head and looked down at his feet rather than look into the fiery gaze Sasuke was giving. 'What did I do now?' Sasuke stood up and walked to stand in front of the blond who was battling inside himself on whether or not to look at him.

"I'll give you permission to punch me, but I have a condition." Naruto was speechless, that was certainly not what he had be expecting and managed a ,"Huh?" Sasuke chuckled and actually smiled slightly and Naruto was speechless again. Naruto cleared his throat and just like that the small smile that was simply a slight quirk of lips had disappeared.

"Who are you and what have you done with Sasuke Uchiha?" Sasuke's eyes narrowed, "I"m being serious here, dobe!"

"So am I!" The raven frowned and shrugged, "Do you want to or not?" Naruto nodded, "Yeah but," he trailed off.

"But what?"

"Nothing." Suddenly, the thought of hitting the raven's perfect face didn't seem all that great but well he would never get the chance to again, probably. Sasuke smirked and put his hands in his pockets before closing his eyes. Naruto raised his left hand and curled it into a fist, he still had to pay back Sasuke for stealing a kiss. He bit his lip he hated to admit that he had actually enjoyed it while it lasted, "Fuck," he muttered to himself. Naruto Uzumaki was not gay, with the exception of a single bastard who had him on a roller-coaster of emotions that confused him to no end. He swung and the fist connected with hardly any force. Sasuke peeked an eye open, the punch was a surprise, for some reason the blond hadn't punched with all of his might.

Sasuke had half been expecting having to pay for a new tooth but he wasn't complaining about getting away with a mildly sore cheek. Naruto stared at his hand for a second before it fell to his side and he looked into Sasuke's onyx eyes.

"I don't understand you."

"Hn." Naruto glared at him, "I hate when you do that." Sasuke smirked, "Hn."

"Bastard. What was your condition?" Sasuke rubbed his cheek, "I almost forgot the most important part." Naruto's eyebrows furrowed and his expression was serious for the hyperactive knucklehead he was.

"I want you to forgive me."
