Naruto: Ballad

A/N: Thank you for waiting! Please continue your patronage. I have a hard time typing because I used a laptop this time, the laptop (that I borrowed from my brother that is) have a lot of hard keys to press thus the story is shorter.

Chapter 3:

At Kiba's house…

Naruto eyed his companions crowding the television. 'So this is what you planned to do, huh…' He sat from a distance near the table where notebooks and books are scattered. He tried to keep his temper in check. He didn't want to lash out on his friends, but seeing them enjoys themselves while he study alone made him frustrated. He stood up in frustration behind the other guys watching happily the uncensored porn movie that one of the guys brought. 'I will leave now!' he said in an uncaring tone.

Kiba stood up; he tried to stop Naruto from leaving. 'Come on… Just a little fun won't hurt!' He kept on tugging on Naruto's sleeve with a forced smile.

'You asked me to help you study as well but now you are doing something irrelevant!' Naruto spoke in a matter of fact manner. He could tell that Kiba is feeling a bit guilty about the situation, though he has no room for it at the moment. Studying is everything to him with a big goal he needs to accomplish with his own strength.

The others tried to stop Naruto. They tried to reason with the blond that they have the very intention of studying, just that they needed a little motivation for it, and that the best thing for it is watching porn to relieve stress at the same time.

'Stay for a bit?' Kiba asked with a smile. He could tell that Naruto is close to saying yes; in time he had learned to manipulate Naruto enough to help him to do a few things over the time.

Naruto gave in. He decided to stay at Kiba's request. He finished his part easily and perfectly while the others watched. He observes everyone while doing his work efficiently, quietly on the round low table all alone. He can tell that he can't expect them to stop anytime soon and study as they planned to do; seeing how glued they are to the television. Annoyed, he gave up dropping whatever he is working on, turned his back against the others crowding near the television, took all his stuff back into his bag.

Kiba noticed Naruto upon hearing the zipper zip close, he tried to stop Naruto with reasons that even he could not understand only to increase the blond's frustration. He could tell that his charm is no longer working and that Naruto is truly angry, there is nothing scarier than a timid and quiet guy being angry. He didn't want to complicate things so he let Naruto leave, stopping everyone who planned from keeping the blond leaving; in the room only he had seen the true angry side of Naruto that gave him quite a scare in the past - something he didn't want to re-live that moment. He followed Naruto to the door as if to show the way out as a polite gesture; convinced that stopping or saying "don't go" or "stay" the blond would not stop from leaving and would only add oil. 'A normal thing for a guy besides, do you seriously think that we need to study? You know how our grades aren't that bad. You must have once wanted to wank yourself over studying; your brother teaching you and all.' The way he spoke sounded like it is a normal talk though he doesn't normally discuss or talk about such thing with Naruto.

Naruto hearing Kiba's words felt insulted that he couldn't help shiver, glares at Kiba then spoke in a cold tone, 'I have never - done such a thing!' He manage to get the gist of what Kiba is trying to say though refuses to partake to the action that he viewed too perverse or too obscene.

Kiba looked surprised to hear Naruto's confession that the blond have never thought of such a thing as wanking. He stared at the expression that the blond has, he could tell that Naruto wasn't lying to him; he watched Naruto walk away thinking how pure the blond is. I highly doubt that he is that innocent, deciding to keep to himself his thoughts as he watched Naruto's back. But he is Naruto so it would be impossible that things around him are that slow.

Naruto returned home agitated that his so called group study session had failed, not that one of his companions has listened, even Kiba his childhood friend listened more to the others than pay attention to him. He pouts while thinking that it is better for him not to see or speak with Kiba for a while after that little incident. His thought of watching something like porn is not yet suitable for someone his age, his thoughts of the matter is very dirty that is not needed until he reach the proper age (something that the proper age is 18 and above).

'Huh?' Sasuke looked surprised to see Naruto home early lying on the sofa bed. 'I thought that you'd be late… … What are you doing here? What happened to the study group at Kiba's place?' He just arrived from work thinking that Naruto would spend the night at Kiba's after all the persuasion the blond did.

'Don't mention that name in front of me!' Naruto raised his voice in a monotonous angry tone as he sat up the sofa; Sasuke deduced that something might have happened - something serious and enough for the blond to be angry and raise voice.

Sasuke figured he needed to calm Naruto down for them to talk peacefully. He sat down beside the blond. 'I'm listening.' He even prepared a drink for the two of them to suit the situation. He always listened to Naruto's complains, not that it often comes. 'What happened?' He faced the blond with a smile as he held a cup of warm drink.

Naruto faced his elder brother with an awkward expression realizing that he almost vent his anger to Sasuke; he stares at the dark haired male thinking and considering whether he should tell what is his concern at the moment, the image of the women in the video that Kiba and the others are watching flashed inside his head like a replay - it wasn't that he wanted to recall it, he just did; he felt his body temperature increase by just thinking about it which he did not fully understand why it would have such an effect now. He lowered his head; face flushed feeling the slow increase of temperature in his body. He knew well that it isn't a fever but too embarrassed to speak up realizing that it has something to do with the image that he recalled. 'Damn it…'

'Naruto?' Sasuke called wondering why the blond suddenly became silent. He observed Naruto fidgeting on the sofa. He saw how the blond covered the crotch. 'Are you hard?' His question sounds rude but wasn't enough to make the blond angry at him.

Naruto flinched. He couldn't deny nor admit to it, feeling embarrassed that he got an arousal after telling off Kiba and the others.

'Shall I help you?' Sasuke offers with a smile in a soft voice as he rest his arm behind where Naruto sat.

Naruto faced Sasuke thinking if he should; even he knows the limit to what he should ask or not to Sasuke. He is neither a child nor an adult. 'I… I'll take care of this on my own.' He mutters after thinking for so long.

Sasuke stares at Naruto. He looked a bit disappointed to miss the chance to play and tease Naruto. He suddenly came up with something which he doesn't even do himself. 'Let me watch!' he said with a straight face. 'I want to know if you are doing the correct way - I mean to masturbate.'

Naruto's face turned bright red. He pushed Sasuke but not strong enough to drive away. 'Let me be!' he grumbles as a mix feeling of embarrassment and anger surface.

Sasuke smiled at how the blond reacted, so child-like. 'Okay I'll leave. But better take care of that quick in the bathroom.' He spoke in a playful tone.

Naruto threw away the pillow on the couch which is within his grasp towards Sasuke walking out of the room. The moment he knew that he is alone, he rushed to the toilet on the second floor at the end of the hallway. He immediately locked himself and there, he jerked off – not enough to satisfy him though but enough to relieve some of the bottled up stress. He sat inside the bathtub, tired; tissues around him. He couldn't believe what he just did, he felt dirty. If he could, he wished that he could dig a hole and hide in it. He started to loathe himself.

Meanwhile, Sasuke sat alone inside his room, locked himself for saying something outrageous. He couldn't believe that he would ask Naruto something that he doesn't even do to his friends. It made him feel terrible. He wasn't aware that it is just the prelude to what he will make the blond experience.
