Naruto tapped the pencil faster against the desk, fighting down his annoyance. The humming hadn't started out too bad, incredibly quiet, but now it was steadily getting louder. Glancing involuntarily at Sasuke, he ripped his gaze away and focused on the problems sitting in front of him.
8y+y18 + 15
Gritting his teeth in frustration and envy (Sasuke was a real math whiz and was telling him to solve one problem of the 30 they'd been assigned correctly and he could get the rest of the answers. Taking a deep, calming breath, Naruto leaned back, Sasuke in his peripheral vision. Sasuke was mouthing the words to some song on his iPod and at Naruto's inquiring look, he held up the music player and lit up the screen, showing the title This is Halloween.
Naruto rolled his eyes. He loved that movie, but Sasuke couldn't hum for anything, despite his aptitude for music. Sasuke smirked, almost reading his thoughts. Naruto glared at him and forced himself to look at the problem again. It was another fifteen minutes when the humming got on his nerves once again and Naruto turned and swiftly pressed his lips against Sasuke, effectively stilling the humming vocal cords.
Sasuke pulled away slightly, smirk widening, and said, 'If you'd rather do that in math rather than the work, you should have said something."
"Detention?"
Not that they really had a choice with their math teacher looming over them, but they had the dignity and good grace to act like they were ashamed.
-?-?-?-?
Naruto cocked his head in the direction of the screams. "The haunted house started up."
"I heard it was real scary." Sasuke remarked from his place at the window. He didn't need to turn to his boyfriend to know the mischievous grin was there.
"I know the back way in. We could go in and spook some people."
Sasuke turned and stood to face the blonde. "That's insane."
Naruto shrugged and casually got up. "Ah, well. I thought you'd like the opportunity to scare the fangirls."
"I'll get raped!" Sasuke protested, trying to tell himself he wasn't interested.
"Not if we disguise you."
-?-?-?-?
"This is ridiculous." Sasuke told him.
Naruto laughed quietly. "Relax. You hardly look like you. If anything, I think you could pass for the girl from the ring."
Sasuke half-glared at him. He'd allowed Naruto to play with the spare make-up and supplies. The blonde had cleaned Sasuke's hair of gel, letting it fall to his chin and applied black make-up just underneath his eyes, creating a hollow effect. He'd added a little white make-up to make Sasuke's face just a little paler, a little scarier. There'd been spare clothes and they were both in hospital clothes.
Sasuke had gotten to use whatever was left and had darkened Naruto's hair to a muddier color, streaking blood red into it. He added red to appear as if blood was dripping from the scars on his cheeks and had done something similar to Naruto's face, although it took a lot more to make it white.
Naruto grinned foxily at him before settling his face into a perfectly bland mask and walking through the door into the waiting room. The grin widened mentally as he saw Sakura, Ino and a new girl named Karin sitting on the couches. Sasuke came behind him and they both, at the same time with a deadpan voice said, "The doctor will see you now."
Temari was the doctor, nearly completely unrecognizable with her hair pulled pack into a loose ponytail, face painted like theirs and the stark white hospital clothes. At the sight of them, she'd given them a quick questioning look before leading them all into the haunted hospital. White screens set up barriers a little away from the walls. Silhouettes were seen of people getting strangled and stabbed, of someone dying of a seizure. A door that Naruto and Sasuke both knew was a janitor's closet had a DO NOT ENTER sign on it and rattling came from inside. Naruto smirked inwardly, knowing that they'd had to lock Kankurou in there for him to do it.
Tenten sat on the floor, hair loose around her face, and looked up with staring eyes. In front of her and all on the walls were drawings depicting death. "Do you like my pictures?" She asked, her voice hoarse and high.
The boys had the distinct pleasure of watching the girls shudder and press against each other, eyes wide with fear. They shot each other a quick smirk before Naruto came up, perfectly silent, and grabbed Sakura's arm, making her jump and scream.
Naruto smiled creepily, showing all of his slightly larger canines, where Sasuke had also stuck some fake blood. "I like you." He made his own voice a little higher, a little silkier to go with the facade. "Come with me."
Naruto led them to the Psych Ward and there was Gaara, who really didn't need to do much. He stood there, leaning against the wall, a jacket hood pulled up over his blood-red hair. His naturally shadowed eyes followed the girls' movements slowly. Naruto remembered having to beg him to do it, even having to pull out the ever so deadly Bambi eyes.
Iruka, who'd paled his face and let "blood" drip from his scar, and had pulled on a "bloody" hospital gown and was laid out on a cot, eyes closed. They passed and he didn't move. Naruto and Sasuke crowded the girls into another room, one where Lee, Gai and their Foreign Cultures teacher Genma crawled out, smiles wide and unmoving. The girls screamed and ran out, and this time that they passed Iruka, he shot up, grabbing Ino's wrist. Kakashi, creepy even without the atmosphere, shot a spray of ait into Karin's face and they all sprinted out shrieking.
-?-?-?-?
Naruto scrubbed at the stubborn red in his hair. Sasuke did too good a job. He was afraid it was in there permanently. Sasuke was gently washing the make-up from both their faces and after he was done, reached up and helped.
"This is all your fault, teme."
Sasuke kissed him lightly. "No it's not. You suggested it."
"It was your infernal humming."
Sasuke chuckled a little and kissed him harder.
