Yay! Some people favorited and added it to their Story Alerts. I'm so happy some of you guys liked it ^_^ Anyway, I decided to upload this second chapter early as a thank you. I was originally going to wait a week but what the heck? Might as well. Writing it seemed to take a long time but now it seems so short and like nothing happened. =( To apologize for that, I'll upload another chapter during the weekend. Still looking for central plot ideas if anybody has them!

*The series Naruto and its associated characters do not belong to me!*

Feel free to comment =) Enjoy!

All through the day he wondered about Sasuke. What he had said, the kiss, those soft lips, that dark hair… Damn it! What was wrong with him? Did he just use that bastard's first name? He had never thought of Uchiha as anything but his rival, his hated enemy, now he was in his thoughts practically all the time as someone who made him- and he loathed to admit this - made him blush.

He was in P.E. class now, the last class of the day. The clouds looked heavy and black, a sure sign of a nasty rainstorm. Only a few more minutes, he thought to himself, as this was his one class he and Uchiha were in together. They were playing soccer today, he and Uchiha the team captains. On his team were Sakura, Shikamaru, Lee, and Tenten. On the other's, Ino, Choji, Neji, Shino, and Kiba. It was down to the last play. Both teams had 7 goals each and only one was needed to win the game. Naruto had to concentrate; he had to forget all about what happened this morning as Uchiha came towards their goal, the soccer ball spinning under his feet. He passed it left to Kiba, then behind to Neji.

"Steal it!" Naruto yelled to his teammates. Lee made a run for the ball but Neji easily evaded him. As Shikamaru neared Neji and threatened to take it, he passed it sideways back up to Uchiha. This time, Naruto made a run for it himself. He had to win, he just had to show that bastard. But as he got close, the guy did something. With his right foot he, passed it around Naruto and caught it with his left, then kicked it up, and head butted it towards the goal, over Tenten's head and right past Sakura's into the goal.

Uchiha's team instantly erupted into triumphant cheer, all gathering around him and complimenting him on his complicated and winning move made right at the end.

"That was amazing, Sasuke!" Ino yelled as she draped her arm around his head and clung to him.

Behind him, Naruto heard Sakura grunt, "Hmph, Ino's such a pig."

Naruto couldn't respond, he could only stand there, mouth ajar with shock. He couldn't believe he lost! He let his team down, he disappointed himself, but worst of all was that he just didn't lose to anyone; he lost to that bastard Uchiha. He would hear of it for weeks from him!

His team stood behind him, arms crossed over their chests watching jealously at the other team's victory while light rain started to fall.

"Nice job, Captain!" Choji yelled, slapping him lightly in the back.

Uchiha only gave a modest smile and upon seeing Naruto's glare directed towards him, his face took his usual calmness that Naruto hated so much.

"Nicely played, Captain," he said coming towards him.

"Yeah well, nice move." Naruto grudgingly responded.

"Maybe next time you'll actually get me."

"At least I won our little game this morning," Naruto boldly said with a forced grin.

Uciha frowned with that remark while in the background Sakura exclaimed, "No wonder you guys are so good! You guys must practice together often!"

Both boys felt their faces grow hot, both thankful that no one really knew what they were talking about.

Sasuke turned away, marching towards the gym building with hands in tight fists, while behind him he heard Naruto burst out laughing.

"Hit the showers!" the P.E. teacher, Guy Sensei shouted.

The showers running made the locker room humid and stuffy. Naruto thoroughly washed himself clean, wanting all day to get rid of Uchiha's stench and touch from this morning. He gave himself a small chuckle at getting the last laugh after the soccer game-that at least somewhat made up for losing the game. But then he remembered he had to walk home with the guy and his smile quickly faded into a frown.

Out in the locker room he sneaked a look at Sasuke. This disgusted himself but he couldn't help it. Something was attracting him to the guy. Sasuke had only briefs on and he couldn't help but stare at the flawless, slightly pale body and long legs as they bent into tight pants, followed by arms raised, exposing a muscular chest, as a simple dark purple shirt and black leather jacket was slipped on. Closing his locker he paused, sensing someone watching him. Naruto realized this and left quickly, ducking to his own locker to get dressed before Sasuke could spot him.

"Why did I just do that?" he asked himself. There was no way he could become attracted to Uchiha. "He's my rival!" He only did the things he did this morning to piss off Uchiha, and very apparently he did. He even got a death threat, he laughed a little forcibly, uneasy with himself and his racing emotions throughout the day. He decided he should hurry up so that he can start and get ahead of Uchiha, so that he wouldn't have to walk with him.
