Chapter 8: Confession

Naruto's P.O.V.

After I got angry with Sasuke I went back to my room.

"Damn him! Just how many times do I have to tell him already!? I mean this is the most ironic thing in the entire world! The person I'm in love with thinks that I'm in a relationship with my best friend! Arghh! I'm so frustrated!" I kept on mumbling while I was kicking and punching the air. In the end I just fell onto the bed and sighed. I guess I ended up being rude to Pain as well... But seriously why doesn't he get it? According to everyone, it's more than obvious that I like him...

"I'll just play some games on the computer..." I finally decided.

A few minutes later the door suddenly swung open and a very angry Sasuke got inside. What the... He just got in and fell on my bed. Umm...

"Come here!" he ordered me.

"Huh?" was all I said.

"I said come here!" he repeated and started looking impatient.

"Why?" I asked him. His eyebrow twiched.

"Because I said so!" he shouted which made me jump a bit. What the hell?!

"I don't want to." I told him stubbornly. He sat up and glared at me.

"What do you mean you don't want to?" he growled.

"You know, you have no right to talk to me like that! I'm seriously angry with you!" I yelled at him.

"I don't care, angry or not you became my body pillow, so come here immediately!" he told me. Huuh?

"Are you serious?" I asked him in disbelief. He just stared at me. I sighed.

"I don't believe you..." I muttered and returned to my game.

"Hmph!" I heard him exclaiming and when I turned to look at him he had buried his face in my pillows. This is unbelievable... I saw him fidget a bit and then he mumbled something.

"What? I didn't hear you." I told him. He looked at me with the corner of his eye.

"I said I'm sorry... For making you angry..." he told me.

"Eh?" I said.

"I'm sorry, so... Come here..." he said looking down. At first I didn't know what to do, but in the end I sat up and approached him. He pulled me in his arms and buried my face in his chest.

"Much better..." he muttered. To be honest, I really didn't know what was going on.

"Umm... Sasuke? Why did you want to do that?" I asked him.

"Shut up. Body pillows don't talk." he told me coldly.

"What the-!"

"I said shut up." he said again even more coldly. At this rate he will kick me out. Just what the hell is going on in his mind!? In the end I just stayed there without talking or moving at all, which was really uncomfortable, but somehow, I could sense that Sasuke was happy.

After some time passed Sasuke finally decided to let me go.

"I have to go for practice." he said and was about to leave.

"Wait! Why did you suddenly do that?" I asked him again. You better not avoid it again, bastard.

"Because you are my body pillow." he simply said.

"Since when?" I asked him.

"Since yesterday." he said again with the same tone as before. I was so confused.

"So... I'm just a body pillow?" I asked trying to comprehend what was going on. He nodded.

"Nothing else?" I asked one more time. He smirked mischievously.

"What else did you expect?" he asked sarcastically and left. You... You...

"YOU DAMN BASTARD!" I yelled as loud as I could. Why the hell did I fall in love with such an asshole!? Damn me!

"Are you serious!?" Sakura said through the phone.

"Totally! Can you believe this guy?!" I told her. Sakura could always understand this kind of things.

"No way! If I were you I would be chasing him with a knife right now!" she told my angrily.

"I really wanted to do that, but a voice deep in my head told me not too. I had to try hard to listen to it." I told her. Sakura laughed.

"Yeah, if you had killed him or even dared to harm him all of his fangirls would try to sacrifice you." she joked. I laughed.

"I know, right? Oh, it's already this late. We should go to bed. See you tomorrow at school." I told her.

"Ok, see ya. Good night!" she said cheerfully.

"Good night." I told her as well and we hung up. I stood up from my bed and went to the bathroom to prepare to go to bed. Once I got out I saw something unexpected.

"Umm... What the hell are you doing in my bed, bastard?" I asked Sasuke when I saw him lied on my bed.

"Waiting for my body pillow to come out of the bathroom to go to sleep." he told me indifferently. My eyebrow twiched.

"You are kidding me, right? For how long are you going to keep this up!?" I kind of shouted at him.

"Stop yelling and come to bed, you brat!" he told me strictly. I want to kill him. I slowly went to bed and lied beside him, but when he was about to put his hands around me I pushed him away.

"Keep your hands to yourself." I told him coldly and turned my back to his face.

"What the hell..." I heard him muttering, but he didn't do anything else. So we just kind of fell asleep like that.

The next morning there was something heavy on top of me. Oh, of course... Sasuke's body.

"WAKE UP, BASTARD!" I yelled loudly, which resulted in Sasuke's epic fall from the bed.

"What the hell are you doing first thing in the morning?!" he shouted at me, scared to death.

"Good morning~!" I told him sweetly and stood up to go to the bathroom. On my way there I had many curses follow me, but I was too satisfied to mind them.

While we were having breakfast no one was talking.

"Umm... Exactly what happened between you two?" Karin finally asked.

"Nothing~" I said carefreely. Sasuke shot me a glare and returned to his meal. The other three stared at us.

"Ok, there's definitely something going on." Suigetsu said.

"Yeah, this brat threw me out of the bed today." Sasuke said annoyed.

"Practically you fell on your own." I pointed out.

"Why did I miss that?" Karin whispered.

"Yeah, me too." Suigetsu agreed. Sasuke was about to kill them. Of course, I would be killed as well, since I was the reason for all of this.

"Anyway, it's time to go to school. See ya." I said and was about to leave.

"Oh, Naruto, today we are having a recording. Be prepared." Jugo told me. I nodded and left.

Once I was out of the building I saw Kakashi in his car.

"Morning, Kakashi!" I told him through the open window.

"Oh, morning, Naruto. Want me to take you to school?" he asked me excited.

"Let me guess... To see Iruka?" I told him with an arched eyebrow. He laughed nervously.

"Well, you know... It's love." he said happilly. I sighed and got in.

"Let's go, I'll be late!" I told him and he immediately started the car.

We reached the school and got out of the car. Many students stared at us.

"This is getting uncomfortable." I muttered.

"If you want we can hire a personal tutor to teach you, so you'll only have to come here for the exams." Kakashi told me.

"No, thanks. It's the only way to see my friends. If things get out of hand I'll let you know." I told him smiling.

"Ka-Kakashi!?" we heard a surprised voice from behind. And that was Iruka.

"Well, see ya later." I told them and went to class. When I got in I went to where Gaara and Sakura were.

"Good morning, guys!" I told them with a smile.

"Good morning, Naruto!" Sakura told me with a smile as well. Gaara just glared at me.

"W-what is it?" I asked him nervously.

"Why didn't you tell me this asshole was giving you trouble?" he asked me angrily.

"Umm... It's not really trouble. He's just teasing me again, so I thought I shouldn't worry you again." I told him fidgeting.

"Hmph!" he exclaimed and looked the other way. Uhh...

"By the way, Gaara, where were you after I went to my room? I was sure you would follow me." I asked him all of a sudden. Now it was his turn to fidget.

"I... uhh... I was talking with Pain... And Suigetsu." he said looking everywhere except from my eyes.

"That sounds suspicious." I told him. He sighed.

"Well, I hate myself for ignoring you! But... Pain's company isn't something I can have everyday." he said shyly. I chuckled.

"I guess it can't be helped then." I told him and sat beside him. At that moment Iruka got in so we all had to take our seats.

"Are you ok, Mr. Iruka? Your face is red." a student told him. Me, Gaara and Sakura tried hard to hide our laughter.

"I-it's nothing... Naruto, Gaara and Sakura will have extra homework for tomorrow. Especially Naruto." he said glaring at us.

"What?!" we all exclaimed at once.

"And, wait, why even more for me!?" I asked him.

"You know very well why." he said with annoyance. Kakashi will have to pay for that later.

When I returned to the dorms from school I went immediately to Kakashi's room.

"Kakashi! What did you do to Iruka today?!" I asked him very angrily.

"You are too young to know." he said in a happy tone. God, please let me kill him.

"Because of you I have extra homework today!" I told him.

"Ehh? Is that it? I'll talk to Iruka about it later. No need to worry." he said in the same tone and kept on reading his book. I sighed and went out of his room. I went to my room and called my dad.

"Naruto~! I've missed you soooo much!" I heard him saying as soon as he picked up the phone.

"Same here, dad. It's been too long since we last saw each other." I told him.

"Yeah, I couldn't even be there on your debut day... I'm an awful father." he said depressed.

"Don't say that! You had to go to work, it can't be helped. Hey, I was thinking... Could I come over once the recordings are over?" I asked him.

"Why are you even asking me?! This is your home, Naru! Oh, I'll make you ramen as well! Hurry up and finish, ok?!" he said full of excitment.

"Haha, ok. Well, I have to go now. See you then!" I told him.

"Yeah, bye bye~" he told me as well and we hung up. I didn't even realise how much I had missed my dad. Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Naruto, it's time for work." Karin said through the door.

"Coming." I said and got my papers with my songs. I went to the studio and saw Pain there as well.

"Eh? Pain, why are you here?" I asked him confused. He smiled at me.

"Well, today we will be recording together! Let's work hard!" he said happily.

"Oh, right. Suigetsu also told me that we will be coworking sometimes." I said mostly to myself.

"Yup! Oh, by the way... Did that cute friend of yours come here today as well?" he asked me.

"No, not today. Why?" I asked him. He grinned.

"He's just so cute I want to see him everyday~!" he said like a school girl in love.

"Ok, shut up now. It's time for work." Sasuke suddenly told him.

"Fine, fine..." he grumbled and we finally started.

When we finished it was already pretty late at night.

"Uhh... I'm not going to school tomorrow." I mumbled as I was going to the kitchen to drink some water.

"Naruto, don't be late." Sasuke told me and turned to go back upstairs.

"About what?" I asked him, since I was too tired to think clearly.

"About coming back to the room, idiot!" he said and left. Wait, does this mean we are sleeping together today as well?

"Uhh... He's such a pushy..." I grumbled and went to the kitchen. When I got inside I found Pain grinning over his phone.

"Aren't you tired to be that happy?" I asked as I was getting a glass.

"You are too weak, Naruto. Anyway, I'll be staying here today. Good night!" he said and left the kitchen. I put some water in my glass, I drank it and went back to my room. I got inside and as I was about to fell on the bed I remembered that Sasuke was waiting for me. I sighed, put on my pajamas and went to his room. I knocked his door and got in when I got permission.

"You are late!" he told me. I stared at him.

"Shut up." I told him in the end and lied on his bed.

"What did you say to me?" he asked me annoyed.

"Uhh... Just go to sleep already!" I said with my eyes already closed.

"Don't get so full of yourself..." he muttered and embraced me from behind. I sighed and fell asleep. I was too tired to put on a fight anyway.

The next day I woke up feeling great.

"Hmm... I slept so peacefully..." I muttered and stood up. Sasuke had already left. Since I was too bored to go to my room's bathroom I went to Sasuke's. When I got inside, though, I bumped into a chest. Deja vu...

"What the... Ah." I said when I saw Sasuke looking down at me.

"How about knocking the door first?" he said stictly with his arms crossed.

"Umm... Yeah, sorry... Could you... umm... Put some clothes on?" I managed to ask him while trying not to stare at his body.

"Hm. Like what you see?" he asked me with a smirk. I blushed and glared at him.

"Put some clothes on!" I said loudly and stood up to leave, but he grabbed me and embraced me from behind. I freezed.

"I-is that a n-new hobby of yours?" I asked him. He took a deep breath.

"Only with you..." he said with a low voice.

"H-how come?" I asked him again, trying to ignore the feeling of his breath on my neck.

"I don't know... I just want to hug you when I look at you..." he said even more seductively. A chill run down my spine. If he kept this up it would be bad...

"Oh... Is that so..." I muttered in a daze. He chuckled.

"Uh-huh... That's why I made you my personal body pillow after all." he said normaly while letting go of me. Eh? I stayed stunned and watched him getting in his closet then coming out dressed.

"Don't be late for breakfast." he said with a victorious smirk and got out.

"I'll kill him..." I muttered and fell on my knees.

After that incident I went to my room, got dressed and left for school. I had missed the first period, but I could still go. I didn't want to stay in the same place as this bastard. When I reached the school I tried to find my friends.

"Second period is P.E. So... They're probably outside." I muttered to myself and went to the backyard, where we have P.E. classes whenever the weather was good.

"Oh, Gaara!" I said loudly when I saw him. He turned around surprised and came towards me.

"Hey... I thought you wouldn't come today." he said when he got close.

"Yeah, a lot happened..." I said while scratching my head. He looked at me confused.

"What could possibly happen so early in the morning?" he asked. I sighed.

"Sasuke." was all I said and he understood.

"This is starting to get annoying." he said and I nodded in agreement.

"What should I do, Gaara?" I whined and rested my head on his shoulder. He patted my back and sighed.

"How about you tell him that you are serious and you don't like it when he teases you?" he told me. I thought about it.

"No. He will dump me and I'll be crying for weeks." I said.

"It might be for the best, you know..." he told me. I stepped back and looked at him.

"How so?" I asked him.

"Well, if he dumps you at least you will be able to get over him and move on with your life." he told me. He had a point...

"Yeah, but... How will I get over him if I see him everyday?" I said. He thought about it.

"You are right... But what else can you do? If this goes on, it will only hurt you more." he said looking worried. I sighed.

"I know... I'm sorry I worry you so much." I told him. He smiled at me and patted my head.

"What kind of best friend would I be if I didn't worry about you? Don't worry, if this asshole hurts you, I'll be here to comfort you." he told me. I grinned at him and hugged him.

"It would be so much better if I was in love with you." I told him and let go of him. He had a surprised look on his face.

"Yeah... I guess..." he said, looking away. Then the teacher called us, so we all gathered together. While we were doing the exercises I was thinking about what Gaara told me... Should I really tell him? I finally decided to discuss it with Karin and Suigetsu as well. Since they knew Sasuke better, they should know what would be the right thing to do.

Later that day, when I returned to the dorms I went to find them. As most of the times they were arguing about something.

"Umm... Guys, can I talk to you for a minute?" I told them, which made them stop arguing.

"What's wrong, Naru?" Suigetsu asked me. I scratched my head. They looked at each other and sat down. I sat as well and sighed.

"Well... The thing is..." I started and I explained them what had happened and what Gaara told me to do.

"It wouldn't be a bad idea... But since Sasuke is a bit of a sadist it might make things worse..." Suigetsu told me.

"But he's also kind of sensitive, even if he doesn't show it, so he could understand as well..." Karin said. This was confusing.

"So, what should I do?" I asked them.

"For now just show him your feelings. Show him that you like him and that you don't like it when he teases you. Then, judging from his behavior decide whether to tell him or not." Karin told me. I nodded.

"Ok. That sounds good... Thanks guys!" I told them smiling. They smiled back and then each went to his business.

Later in the afternoon I got a call from Gaara.

"Hey, Naruto... Could I come over today?" he asked me hesitantly.

"Of course. Since it's Saturday tomorrow will you also be staying here?" I asked him.

"Hmm... I don't know. Probably not." he said.

"Ok, I'll let the guards know." I told him.

"Ok, then, see you later." he said and hung up. I went to the guards and told them that my friend would come, then went back inside.

"Oh, where were you?" Suigetsu asked me when he saw me in the living room.

"Gaara is coming over for a while, so I went to let the guards know." I told him.

"Oh, ok... " he said. Suddenly, Pain's head appeared from the door.

"Did I hear right?" he asked me.

"Uhh... Yeah. But, why are you still here?" I asked him.

"I was too bored to leave. Guess it was a good decision to stay!" he said grinning and went back to wherever he came from. I sighed and sat on the couch.

Half an hour later Gaara came in.

"Hey." he said.

"Hey! You are lucky today. Pain's here." I told him. His eyes glittered.

"Really?" he asked excited. I laughed.

"Don't look so happy." I told him and he blushed.

"Gaara, you're here." Pain suddenly said from behind us. He approached Gaara and rested his hand on his shoulder.

"It's been so lonely over here without you. You should come more often." he told him with a seductive voice. Gaara fidgeted.

"That asshole, Sasuke, will start saying weird things again." he said averting his eyes.

"I can handle that. So, no need to worry." he told him with a smile. Gaara looked at him and blushed, then looked down again.

"Umm..." I muttered and Pain let go of Gaara.

"So, how have you been?" he asked him normaly. Gaara was still fidgeting.

"F-fine..." he muttered.

"Oh, come on. There has to be more. Come on, sit here." he told him and he slowly went and sat beside him. I was just looking at them with a poker face.

"I'll bring something to drink..." I said and went to the kitchen.

When I got there I saw Sasuke sitting on the table with a very annoyed look on his face.

"Uhh... Sasuke?" I told him. He shot me a glare.

"Why is he here?" he asked me angrily.

"Who? Oh, you mean Gaara? He said he wanted to come..." I told him. His glare got worse.

"I told you not to make it a habbit bringing your boyfriend over here." he told me. Now it was my turn to glare at him.

"And I told you that he is not my boyfriend. There's someone else I like, so get over it!" I told him annoyed. His eyes widened.

"What do you mean there's someone else you like? Who?" he asked with a terrified look. I looked away.

"Why should I tell you? You don't even care about me..." I muttered. He got up.

"Don't fuck with me!" he yelled at me and grabbed my shoulders.

"You are hurting me!" I told him and tried to get away, but his grip was too strong.

"Tell me!" he yelled again. Tears started falling from my eyes. When he realized it he let go of me and stepped back a bit. He had a look on his face as if he hadn't realized how or why he did that. He looked away with a regretful face.

"Sorry..." he muttered. I looked down and kept on crying.

"Sorry won't cut it..." I mumbled. He looked at me with a sad face.

"I don't like it..." he said. I lifted my head and looked at him, but when our eyes met he looked down.

"I don't like it when you say you like someone else..." he muttered. I was about to cry even more.

"Are you an idiot?" I asked him. He looked at me surprised. I rolled my eyes.

"I can't believe you... Haven't you already realized that it's you the one I like!?" I yelled at him. His eyes widened. I wiped my tears and left the kitchen. I went up in my room and locked the door.

"Idiot..." I muttered and started crying again. He would probably dump me now... I guess Gaara will have to stay awake for many nights...

Pain's P.O.V.

I was talking with Gaara when we suddenly heard shouts from the kitchen.

"What's going on over there?" I asked, but Gaara was already on his way there. Ok, that was fast. I followed him, but he stopped midway.

"Why did you stop?" I asked him, but he told me to be quiet. I tried to listen to what they were saying, but instead I saw Naruto getting out with tears on his face and going upstairs.

"What the..." I muttered. I looked at Gaara and he looked really sad.

"You ok?" I asked him. He looked at me and nodded.

"I'm fine, but... I can't say the same for him..." he said and looked down.

"You mean, for them." I corrected him. He looked at me confused and then looked back towards the kitchen. Sasuke stood there with an even more pale face than usually. Gaara looked confused. I chuckled.

"Don't worry, they'll be fine." I told him and grabbed his hand. I started pulling him and we got out of the building.

"Where are we going?" he asked me.

"We better leave for today. I'll take you home." I told him. I could feel he was nervous. Heh, that was so cute.

"You don't have to be so nervous, you know..." I told him with a smirk.

"It's not that simple when I'm alone with the person I've been admiring for so long..." he muttered while looking down. I laughed and hugged him.

"You are so cute!" I said and squeezed him. He stayed quiet.

"You don't make me feel relaxed at all when you do that..." he said. I laughed.

"I know." I told him and smiled. He stared at me and then looked down. Hm, it's gonna be easier to seduce him than I thought...
