Naomi: Okay, whose ready for some drama!?

Naru & Sasu: Not us...

Sasu: It's gonna be that kinda drama where Naruto denies his love for me or some other angsty crap like that, huh? Admit it, you want him for yourself!!

Naru: That is what's most likely to happen Sasuke. I mean, you're not the last person on the face of the planet.

Sasu: I knew it!! You're cheating on me!!

Naru: I didn't say that. I love you, just not while we're in the story.

Nao: Okay, then what kind of drama is there gonna be!! Huh!? I could just kill Naruto in a school shooting or something like that!! End the entire thing!!

Naru & Sasu: NOOOOOO!!


Ah, I love the smell of Saturday in the morning(well, technically it was two in the afternoon, but whose counting). And do you know what that smell is? Its ramen(among other things)!! I can't think of anything better smelling than ramen. It is orgasmicly delicious!!

"Naruto," Mom called, "you up yet, honey?"

"I'm coming, Mom."

I hopped out of bed, stripped and was about to head for the bathroom when an unexpected visitor dropped in(guess who?).

"Hey Naruto, I need to ta-."

Okay, I know it was mostly my fault seeing as I have a habit of undressing in my room before a shower, but come on!! Don't anybody knock anymore!!

"I'M SO SORRY!!" Sasuke shrieked and slammed the door.

Why? Why was my life so humiliating(oh well, whats done is done)? I wrapped a towel around my waist(which means Sasuke got a sneak peek of my 'goods') and walked to the bathroom nonchalantly, as if it never happened. I took a quick shower and got dressed. Downstairs, Sasuke was helping Mom with lunch(or breakfast).

As soon as Sasuke notice me, he spouted every apology possible and then some(it was so cute). His face was as red as ripe strawberries(because I hate tomatoes) and his hands were shaking.

"Hey, its fine. We're both guys, so its not like you saw something you don't see everyday."

"Y-yeah, b-but...I SAW YOUR JUNK!! Aren't you the least bit...worried!?"

"About what?" I said through a mouth full of sandwich.

"Young man, don't talk with your mouth full."

"Sorry, Mom. Anyways, what is it you needed to talk to me about."

Sasuke was silent for a moment. Not looking me in the eye.

"I was wondering if you wanted to hang out. Shikamaru called and they're all going to the mall."

"Yeah, cool. I'll be ready in a second."


We met up with the others at the mall. Man, was it crowded. Christmas was in a week or so and everyone was making lists and checking them twice(gonna find out whose naughty or nice). The mall was all dressed up in silver, gold, and other festive colors. Even the security guards were dressed in red and green suits.

"Oh, wow. The mall is beautiful this year," the girls(including Sasuke) admired.

"Hey, here's a thought. Why don't we help each other buy presents!!" Sakura said with sparkly eyes.

"Alright, we'll split into two groups, girls and guys, and meet by Coldstone in an a couple hours."

We didn't get far before Ino chased us and grabbed Sasuke.

"Oh no, you don't. You're shopping with us."

"Huh? Wah!? Hey, let me go!!"

Sasuke struggled against her vice grip(she's had a lot of practice with Shikamaru), but was dragged away anyways.

"You, bastards!! Save me!!"

"Bye, Sasuke!!" we waved.

"I'm gonna kill all of you!!"

We laughed and waved as the girls had their way with him(not in a dirty way, losers).


"Okay, I need presents for Hinata, Mom, Dad; I'll get your presents later, and Ms. Kurenai."

"Kiba, do you even have enough money for that many presents?" I pulled my friend back to reality.

"No, but I have my ways," he said.

"Speaking of presents, what are you getting Sasuke?" Shikamaru smirked and jabbed my side playfully.

"What the hell is with that tone of voice!?"

"On, Naru-chan," Sai teased, "we know all about you and Sasuke."

I was totally lost. What the hell were they talking about!? Sasuke and I weren't dating(much to my disappointment) and we had just met!!

"Fine, deny it all you want. But if you were dating, what would you get Sasuke or any girl?"

"Yeah, your like an expert on relationships," Suigetsu pointed out.

They were right to a certain extent. He had been in twelve relationships, each ranging from a month to and entire year(with both male and female partners). My mom tells me its 'cause I'm a gentleman. Dad thinks I'm just a natural born lady killer(I agree with my dad), but whatever it was, people were just attracted to me.

"Well, I guess I would get Sasuke a...um...I-I don't know. I have no idea what I would get him."

"Then we have a problem. If even you can't figure out what to get your almost lover, what about us average men with actual lovers!!" Kiba panicked.

We discussed the ever elusive perfect gift for the better part of this shopping fiasco as we ourselves tried to find it. We searched store after store and found nothing(stupid Christmas shopping). I was about to throw my soda at an annoying little kid with a cape running around the food court(we gave up and came early) when the girls(and Sasuke) came into view giggling and holding a billion different bags. Ah, fuck.

Sasuke looked like he was having the time of his life. As he sat down I had to ask.

"I thought you said you weren't gay." It was more of a statement.

"No, I never said that."

"And I quote, 'You are not my preferred gender', unquote."

Sasuke fanned his feminine lashes at me. Smiling like he had a secret I didn't know I knew.

"Well maybe," he whispered, "I changed my mind."


Naomi: Yeah!! Finally done!! Yeah!!

Naruto: Sasuke seemed off today.

Sasuke: My acting is just fine.

Naru: Who said it was about your acting!!?
