~Pick a love~
"Well Naruto you seem fine to me, don't you have gym next hour? What did you just want to skip?" Asked Tsunade with a twinge of disapproval in her voice.
"Oh please Tsunade! No I did not want to skip, someone...just...they said that I should get checked out.." Said Naruto, thinking back to the dark haired raven.
"God I sound so stupid." Thought Naruto, mentally smacking him self.
"Well it takes a lot for you to listen to someone, and I know it wasn't Sakura, she could have just checked you out right then and there. So who is this person that you are now listening too?" Asked Tsunade, walking over to her desk, and sitting down.
Tsunade was not stupid; she knew when Naruto was not him-self. She knew it had to be someone else that told him to come to the nurse, someone other than Sakura.
Sakura was training to become a Medical ninja; she had special healing ability's, which made her an asset on the battle field. As soon as Tsunade saw these skills, Sakura was put into training quickly.
For Naruto to actually listen to someone means he has a lot of respect for whoever this person was. Naruto was always a quick healer, and it would only be under a lot of stress if he had ever gotten sick. So he was never one to get up and go to receive treatment, no matter how big or small the problem.
A slight blush formed on the blonde's cheeks; thinking about Sasuke this much was really starting to get to him.
"What! w-What are you talking about? It's no one, just some stupid teme." Said Naruto, blushing a little harder, now thinking about him. Naruto looked away to hide the blush that was very visible on his face.
Tsunade then flashed a smile at the blond boy; it was very easy for Naruto to have talks like this with Tsunade because, well, she is his grandmother. "Sure it's no one. Well you can tell that no one person, that you are just fine and not to worry so much." Said Tsunade with a happy smile.
"Well still, thank you for checking him out for me." Said Sasuke with a smirk, closing the door behind him. Naruto stared in shock as Sasuke came in the door.
Tsunade turned to the dark haired boy in the door, "Oh so Sasuke Uchiha? You're the one who got him to come all the way down here? Well now, aren't you supposed to be in class?"
"Yes, I am supposed to, but the teacher asked me to come down here. It seems that Naruto and I have the same gym hour together." said Sasuke in a bored voice, looking out the window.
Sasuke turned his head to the blonde in question, giving him what may look like a glare to others, but Naruto could see that Sasuke was just happy that he was alright. Forgetting that Tsunade was in the room, Naruto quickly jumped up and grabbed his jacket. He then ran over to Sasuke and grabbed his hand, trying to get him out of the room.
"Well I am fine, so let's get going Sasuke before we get in trouble." said Naruto with a slight blush on his face.
"Very well, have a good day lady Tsunade" said Sasuke in a respectful voice.
"Bye grandma!" yelled Naruto with a smile and a glint in his eye before running out of the room.
"I told you to stop calling me that you brat!" Tsunade yelled, clenching her fist so she wouldn't kill the blonde boy.
Tsunade may sound like she hates Naruto, but she really cares for him a lot. Tsunade has been looking after Naruto since his parents died. Tsunade will never forget the sad and unwanted look in her grandson's eyes the day she came to pick him up. She swore to herself, that no matter what, she would do anything to make sure she never saw that look in Naruto's eyes ever again. No matter the cost.
Tsunade opened one of the cabinets in her desk and pulled out a picture of Naruto when he was just born. In the picture were Naruto's mother and father smiling down at their baby boy. Tsunade let a small smile leak across her face, not caring that she let a single tear drop down her face from seeing her son with a proud and loving look in his eyes.
"Don't worry kids; I've got my eye on Naruto." Tsunade thought before putting the picture back in her desk.
In the hall way, Naruto noticed no one was there.
"Hey Teme, where is every one?" Naruto asked. Not getting a fast enough response from the other boy, he turned to look at Sasuke.
"In class, dope." said Sasuke in a know it all voice, the smirk still present on his face.
"Even though he sounds like a jerk, and is way too cocky for his own good, I still think he's handsome." Naruto thought, with a roll of his eyes. Naruto turned, looking away from Sasuke, continuing his walk to the gym.
"Sasuke... can I ask you something?"
"Is it going to annoy me?" Sasuke asked looking at Naruto. Naruto turned to look in to Sasuke eyes, pleading with Sasuke to work with him. Seeing this look, Sasuke sighed once more before looking at Naruto seriously.
"Alright, what do you want?"
Naruto had no idea what to ask or say, he just didn't want to have this awkward silence going on between them.
"What do I say, what do I say?" Naruto asked himself, trying not to seem like an idiot for just standing around.
"Umm...umm, well I was… umm" stuttered Naruto, looking around randomly.
Sasuke, seeing the boy freaking out, decided to do the only thing that could possibly calm Naruto down.
"Dope, would you calm down." Sasuke said, quieting the other boy.
Just then Naruto felt smooth fingers intertwine with his.
Naruto looked up in a heated blush before slowly down casting his eyes to their paired hands.
"Naruto, if you want to ask about me, how about we hang out after school today, you know, if you don't have any plans." asked Sasuke, pulling Naruto along to the Gym.
"Great! I- I mean, no I don't have plans. Someone needs to show you around town, right?" Said Naruto, trying to get the words out right, and not come off as if anything was weird.
Naruto looked into Sasuke eyes, wondering if the raven was serious. When Naruto looked into Sasuke's eyes though, Sasuke didn't look back.
"Why is he being so nice, I mean we just met? He goes and says he wants to hang out with me and it's his first day? Maybe he is like the others; the people who think I'm stupid and don't know anything. Is he just dragging me along for the fun of it? Why can't people just be honest with me? Why can't they just say what is truly on their mind! If you truly hate me than just say so! Stop hiding! Don't hate me!"
Not knowing what to do, Naruto grabbed Sasuke by his wrists and pinned him to the wall.
"Naruto what are you doing?" said Sasuke in a bored voice. Sasuke looked down, seeing only blonde hair, Naruto's head resting on his chest. Sasuke's eyes became wide, finally hearing the small sobs of the blonde beneath him, as well as feeling the blonde's tears soaking through his shirt.
"Naru-"
"What are you playing at?" Naruto asked showing his face to a shocked Sasuke before he continued.
"Why are your eyes so distant? Am I that annoying?" Naruto said wiping the tears from his eyes.
"Do I look that foolish to you? People don't just become friendly with each other all the sudden!" yelled Naruto with a hard look.
"I thought you really wanted to be friends, but it was stupid for me to believe that people can become friends so quickly." Whispered Naruto, finally having enough, Naruto dropped his hold on Sasuke.
As Naruto began turning around, he failed to notice the strong arms that wrapped around his waist. Stunned, Naruto stopped and looked up to see Sasuke with a sad and questioning look in his eyes.
"Naruto, are you saying you don't want to be friends? Even though we just met each other, we can't be friends? Because I don't know about you, but I was being completely serious about our… friendship." finished Sasuke in a calming whisper.
"Naruto I don't know what just happened, but what I do know is that if I could, I would still very much like to get to know you more," Said Sasuke wiping the tears that began to form in the blonde's eyes once more, "Please don't leave me." Whispered Sasuke.
Naruto, seeing the truth in his words, gave a nod. Nether boy realizing how close their faces were to each other began to smile softly.
"I'm sorry I miss judged you Sasuke, it's just I've never had anyone want to become friends with me so fast." Naruto whispered, looking away from Sasuke.
"Then how about this, I will make a promise to you, that for as long as you want us to be friends, we will be. But know this, I'm not an easy person to get rid of." said Sasuke with a real smile on his face.
"Sasuke's smiling again, he really does look a lot better with a smile on his face." Thought Naruto happily.
"Deal?" asked Sasuke with a tilt of his head.
"Deal." Naruto nodded in agreement.
Sasuke, still with that smile on his face, leaned down and held him close. Naruto, with a slight blush, embraced him back.
"So you said we have gym now right?" asked Sasuke, letting the blonde go.
"Yep!" Naruto responded joyfully.
As they got to the gym they noticed everyone had on their regular clothes and not their uniforms. Naruto ran up to Hinata, with Sasuke close behind, asking why everyone was still in their clothes.
Hinata said, "Oh well you missed the whole class we got like 60 seconds to the bell."
"Wow really?" asked Naruto in shock.
"Yep, but you really didn't miss much, the teacher said tomorrow we are going to be battling with each other."
Hearing that they might have to fight each other tomorrow, Naruto and Sasuke looked at one another.
"You know that if I have to fight you I'm taking you down, right?" Naruto taunted with a smile.
"Please dope, you couldn't even lay a finger on me." Retorted Sasuke with a smirk.
"Oh yeah? Well we will just see tomorrow then wont we!" yelled Naruto, getting in Sasuke's face.
"Good Kami! Would you pipe down I can't even hear myself think!" Sasuke yelled back, smirk still present on his face.
After their agreement to fight each other tomorrow, the bell finally rang, signaling the end of the gym hour. Later on that day they found each other, and exchanged phone numbers, so they could set a time to hang out.
~after school~
Sasuke made it home after school. After taking off his shoes, he was suddenly smothered by his older brother.
"Itachi! I thought you weren't going to be home!" gasped Sasuke, trying to get air back into his lungs.
"Well it turns out I didn't have that much to do, so I came racing home so I could see how your first day went!" Said Itachi cheerfully.
"So how was school? Did you met any new people? Did you make any new friends?" asked Itachi with a questioning gaze.
"Hn" was all Sasuke said as he proceeded to his room. Without turning around Sasuke could feel the glare he was receiving from the older Uchiha, but Sasuke was too happy about meeting Naruto, to even care about Itachi, and his older brother's bipolarness today.
Sasuke stepped into his room, just to hear his phone go off. He pulled the phone out of his pocket, seeing the screen flash Naruto's name.
"Naruto is texting me already." this made Sasuke even more happy, now they could talk to each other whenever they wanted.
For the next hour, they texted each other back and forth on the phone, finding out what they were going to do for the night. Mid text, Sasuke heard something coming from Itachi's room, quickly deciding to ignore it.
Sasuke knew from past experiences that it was never a good idea to go in Itachi's room, EVER! Especially when you could hear noises coming out of said room.
Sasuke decided that it would probably be a bad idea for Naruto to come over to the house, with Itachi...well, being Itachi.
So Sasuke told Naruto that he would come pick him up at Naruto's own house.
Naruto said it was fine, and to come over at 6:00.
Sasuke looked at his clock, to see what time it is, reading 4:30, he had time to get ready. Just as he was getting ready to go and shower, Sasuke saw Deidara, Itachi's cross dressing boyfriend, come out of Itachi's room with a smile on his face.
"Well, glad someone's happy." Sasuke thought to himself with a smile, continuing on to the bathroom to shower.
After Sasuke was done with his shower, and done getting ready, he jumped in his car, and headed to Naruto's house.
Done! Well I hope this chapter was alright, the next one is where the fun really begins! See you soon!
