XD Oh well, here's the seventeenth chappy - and believe it or not, I'm writing this without even looking at the keyboard! Muahaha! I managed to do such a thing! I'm so proud of myself! (laughs) Anyways, here's the eighteenth chappy! Woot!
Yori: (crying) Please don't leave now, Tamabi-chan!
Tamabi: Gomen, Yori-chan, but I've got to go to other places as well, you know...
Koneko: Geh, just leave her be. It's not like she'd be gone forever... (places a hand around Yori's shoulder and glares at Tamabi)
Tamabi: (smirks) Looks like someone's being jealous... Anyways, I'll be going now, okay, Yori-chan?
Gaara: ... 'Why am I even here?' (sweatdrop)
Because I told you so... Geh, I'm in a quite bad mood now... Anyways, here's the eighteenth chappy of this story! This time, it's...uh...Sasuke's POV, I guess... (sweatdrop) Lol, woot!
Chapter Eighteen: Confessions?
I only watched as Naruto fidgeted and gasped every now and again, squeezing my hand tightly as he shut his eyes in horror. I could not help but to furrow my brows and roll my eyes in annoyance, but I could also not help but to flash a small smile as I thought he looked really cute when he was scared. By the way, we were watching a scary movie, so it made sense that the dobe was scared to hell - even though I thought it was just a piece of crap.
"Aaaaah...!"
Naruto suddenly screamed and literally jumped off the seat - and onto my lap. I widened my eyes in surprise and blushed immediately. Lucky for me the cinema was dark, or else he could clearly see the pinkish-red hue on my face right now. I did not make any move, just watched as he grasped my shoulders tightly, his head on my right shoulder blade as he shuddered, probably because the ghost in the story had just appeared. I would have snorted, if it was not for the cute blond that was so sexy, luscious, fuckable and...okay, let's stop that to that.
"...hey, it's already over," I said to him once the terrifying scene ended. "You can go back to your seat now..."
Okay, I sounded like a teacher just now... Back to the story, I could see him blushing slightly as he mumbled a soft apology and climbed off my lap. For once, I felt a tinge of uneasiness inside my heart as the gentle warmth went away from my lap. I immediately forgot about the movie and just stared...gazed at him from the corner of my eyes. He looked so cute, but at the same time there was a sad expression on his face. I wondered why...
"Oi, dobe," I called him, muting my voice as much as possible.
"...hm?" he turned to me and had an innocent face one, I could not help but to blush again. "...what's wrong, Sasuke? Your face's red...are you having a fever or something?"
When he reached out to feel my temperature, I grabbed his wrist gently. "...Naruto...you know...the reason why...I kissed you earlier?"
I could sense the heat that came off his flushed face, meaning he was embarrassed. I furrowed my brows and out of the blue, I leaned over and captured his lips, bringing us into an unexpected kiss. Indeed, I did not plan to kiss him, twice to be exact - the first one did not count, it was just a peck - at least not until the end of this date. My thoughts were suddenly broken when I heard him letting out a muffled, probably uncomfortable moan as he tried to push me away.
"...gomen...it won't happen again..." I apologised, and turned back to the front, trying to focus on the movie.
After that, the both of us were just silent. No talking, no holding hands, no nothing. I was getting annoyed - and hurt too. Earlier, we were also quiet after our kiss, but I felt happy. I could feel the special connection between the two of us as our fingers entwined with each other. But right now, all that I felt was nothing but emptiness. There was no warmth of his hand, there was no smile on his blank face - it was like I had done something so wrong, he would never forgive me.
As soon as the movie ended - which was much later, and almost brought me to a breakdown where I almost felt like yelling at him and raping him in instant - we both went out of the dark area, still not talking to one another. I was reaching my peak, I knew it. I was getting angrier every step I made, every second that ticked, every time I glanced at him! I growled and immediately grabbed his wrist.
"H-hey! L-let go of me!" he frowned instantly, his face all flushed.
I shot a furious glare at him. He quieted down and just followed me mutely as I dragged him towards my motorcycle. I had no idea what he gotten into me, but I was freaking mad and I just needed to release it somehow - in a bad way. I did not really care about the fact that Naruto was scared, and he was about to cry too. I just ordered him to hop on the bike as I started the engine.
He was crying, I knew it. He was crying all the way to my house. Kuso, he was crying and it was all because of me! ...like heel I would care about that. My head was getting dizzy, and I had to arrive at my house as soon as possible, or I might risk us both to accident. It was painful. My chest felt like exploding as I heard him sobbing silently. Fuck, I hated this. If I knew this was going to happen, I would not even bother to take him out in the first place.
When we reached our house, I noticed that he had stopped crying and was currently staring at the ground underneath him. "Come on, dobe..."
He did not move though. I frowned. "I said, come on... Go inside, damn it!"
I immediately grabbed his wrist and pulled him into the house, letting go of his arm as soon as I was sure he was inside. He fell onto the floor, but I ignored his cry of pain as I closed the door and locked it. Kuso, my mother was so going to get mad at me right now. I dragged Naruto upstairs and into my room, then I threw him onto the bed and immediately locked my door.
"...S-Sasuke," I heard him calling me, and I could not help but to feel a sudden tinge of guilt inside my heart. "Sasuke...w-what do you think...you're doing? W-why are you doing this? S-Sasuke...onegai...answer me..."
"...you wanna know why I'm doing this, Naruto?" I asked, my voice low and dangerous.
He nodded vaguely; scared yet curious as a kitten. I felt guilty, both towards him...and myself. But what should I do? I knew I could not stop myself anymore. I could not hold myself from doing this, from tormenting him...from hiding my feelings. I knew things were going to change between the two of us. Hell, he would probably hate me after this. I would not be seeing him again...Kami-sama...
"S-Sasuke? Y-you're crying?"
I jerked back slightly and realised that tears were indeed trickling down my porcelain cheek. I immediately went to wipe them away, but Naruto was faster than me - for unknown reasons, that is. In a matter of seconds, he was right in front of me, sitting on his legs - I had no idea how I got into my own sitting position in the first place - and he was stopping me from wiping my tears. I furrowed my brows and tried to kick him off.
"Naruto..." I warned him, growling a little. "What are you doing? Lemme go..."
"...iie... Sasuke...what's wrong?" he asked, his voice concerned.
"Lemme go..."
He just stayed quiet as he reached forward and wrapped his arms protectively around my neck. I could not help but to cry some more, but I did not know why I did so. I was so angry and humiliated, yet I just wanted to hold him close to me. I started sobbing, wetting Naruto's shirt in the process. He was soothing me down, whispering gentle words in intend to calm me down.
"Sh...daijoubu...daijoubu..."
As my tears streamed down my face, I sobbed and held him close to me. I wondered why I was being like this. Then, he slowly and affectionately placed a kiss on my forehead, much to my surprise. He then gently kissed both my eyes, licking away all the tears. My heart thumped nervously, and I held my breath. His eyes were closed as he licked the trail of my tears, cleaning my face in the process. He also kissed my nose lovingly before placing his lips upon mine.
Instantly, I pushed him away. "W-what are you doing?"
"Sasuke...we both can't hide it anymore..." he said, a sad smile formed on his face. "I...I'm sorry for being weird just now... You must be mad at me, aren't you?"
He chuckled, and I could not suppress my blush. He then rested his forehead against mine, smiled and nuzzled his nose with my own. I furrowed my brows in confusion, but let him kiss me nevertheless. The feeling was indescribable, but it made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. The feel of his soft lips against mine, his warm breath on my skin, his loving hands around my neck.
"Naruto..."
He smiled and pecked my lips. "Let's just keep it to this today, okay?"
"...yeah..."
He then helped me to get on my feet. I licked my lips nervously and flashed a smile at him before I brought him out of the room. I guessed Itachi saw us as I led Naruto out of the house, but I did not really care though. I felt it was best if I just bring Naruto home and try to confess my feelings to him later on. But then again, he did say about us not hiding 'it' anymore. I wondered what 'it' stood for really...
Once the both of us had reached his house - it was half past ten by then - he hopped off my bike and planted a small kiss on my cheek, again, much to my surprise. I could not help but to blush and smile back at him. He then bid goodbye at me and I drove off into the darkness of the night, happy, confused and surprised...
Okay, just one thing to tell everyone, my style of writing has changed since I've grown mature - don't ask me why - but this is my current writing style. There's no more giggly chappies, no fun-loving characters, everyone is going to be much more matured and serious. I hope you guys would understand. And I hope everyone enjoyed this chappy! It was crappy, I know, but I was trying my hardest - after forgetting the storyline... (sweatdrop) Anyways, woot! Ja ne, minna-san!
