-Chapter 4 Social-
Naruto woke up for another day seeing the room flash a bright color; he was to resume classes today. He didn't mind being with Sasuke around him due to the influence his aunt placed on Sasuke and he was able to speak a little bit more. Sasuke was up and ready for classes putting on his rubber shoes while Naruto had a shower. Naruto puts on a new set of clothes fixing his bed and going out picking some food he could carry with him to class. Sasuke puts on his hoodie and looked at Naruto getting closer while Naruto whimpered.
"I am just going to check if you have a fever." He puts his hand over Naruto's forehead seeing that he had no fever that morning.
"I-I'm alright." Naruto assured and he looked at Sasuke grasping the hand upon his forehead.
"What?" Naruto grabbed the sleeve tugging it slightly.
"Can you hang out with me this w-weekend?" He muttered and Sasuke turned away shrugging.
"Fine…" Naruto gave a nod leaving the room.
"Want to hang out with your class today?" Sasuke asked and Naruto gave a sharp nod going to his history class.
Opening the door he saw Jiriya pointing out historical events and the entire class looked at him making him feel uncomfortable. Naruto walked down to his seat and placed his bag down taking out a notebook writing his notes. Jiriya walked over and looked at Naruto with question seeing he was alright before going back up to the class and continuing the lesson. Sakura scooted her desk over wearing a worried face writing down one a piece of paper handing it to Naruto.
'What happened to you yesterday? Also do you have time to hang out later?'
Naruto read over the sheet jotting down a small answer making Sakura looked at the paper with a small headache forming. 'How does he get through the day with such vague answers?' Her mind ranted and she pushed it aside giving away a smile. Jiriya told them that they had a free time and they all worked on all other college homework they were given.
'Sick. Yes.'
"Naruto come with me." Jiriya called and Naruto walked out of the classroom as people chatted.
"What are we doing later?" Ino asked and Sakura thought it over.
"How about going to the mall everyone?" All the male friends groaned.
"Come on we might know more about him than playing in the arcade Kiba." Sakura reasoned and Kiba huffed.
"It's a guy thing alright." He reported and Sakura shook her head.
"What time do all your classes end?" Everyone looked at their individual schedules putting them away right away.
"At 3 o'clock miss bossy." Kiba told before he got smacked on the head.
"Four for me based on the schedule" Ino replied.
"Around 1" Ten-Ten shrugged.
"At exactly 2" Neji and Hinata answered.
"I think Naruto's is around 3." Sakura looked over Naruto's neat table before she saw his schedule sticking out of his folder.
"I wonder who Sasuke is." Sakura picked up the yellow sheet showing it to them.
"I guess Naruto's roommate." Lee told and told that his time to get out was around 2 as well.
"My classes are not much. This is my last class for today." Sakura said when the door was opened and Naruto stepped in the class with Sakura putting back the paper in the same spot she found it in.
"…"
Naruto sat down and worked over the work he had just missed due to his sickness. He saw that his paper works was shuffled around and that Sakura's friends were all over him invading his territory. He felt uncomfortable with this especially after being done from an attack he had since he was little.
"Guys let him have some air for God's sake!" Ino yelled and they went to other seats as Naruto relaxed.
"How does hanging out at the mall sound to you?" Sakura asked and Naruto gave a small nod.
"S-sounds alright to me" He replied to her.
"That's great!" She chirped and clapped her hands excitedly.
"Can you meet us in the cafeteria after your classes are over?" Naruto gave another nod when the door was opened showing the principal and her assistant.
"Naruto, we want to talk with you." They called and Naruto stood up.
"How are you feeling and did Sasuke do anything to you?" Naruto gave a shook of his head.
"Good and are you doing well? No recent attack or fever." Naruto gave another shook.
"Just make sure you stay out of the sun for too long okay. You might get a heat stroke and your condition is not fairly well at the moment." Naruto gave no answer.
"Naruto are you going out later?" Naruto shook his head.
"With who…?" Shizune asked curious that Naruto was able to be more socialite than before.
Naruto pointed at the small group who were wondering what they were talking about. They all had curious looks pointed to them and Naruto faced them turning away.
"Who else Naruto…?" Tsunade taunted and Naruto moved his lips.
"S-Sasuke"
"Wow you guys are that close?" Tsunade joked only for Naruto not to answer.
"Go back to class now and see you next time." Naruto left going back to his seat among the small group of friends who once again surrounded him while the older women walked down the hall.
"You seem to be thinking of something Tsunade-sama."
"You think Sasuke is good enough for Naruto?"
"What do you mean?"
"Naruto has been through a lot and I have a feeling Sasuke does too." Tsunade told of her speculations.
"I guess so." Shizune held the small pig.
"They are good for each other, don't you think?" Tsunade asked Shizune.
"I think so… No, wait they are good for each other." Shizune said and Tsunade agreed.
"They will help each other out a lot better than we can. Naruto seems to be more hyped up and more social with Sasuke than any of us." Tsunade tapped her chin.
"Yup that boy is surely great for Naruto to be with." They left to go back to their duties.
After school came to pass and Naruto looked at the clock with Sasuke being in the same class. The teacher told them of the lesson with the homework that was soon to be due at the next time of class and Naruto began to pack his stuff away as did Sasuke with them leaving the class.
"Are you going anywhere with your new comrades?" Sasuke asked and Naruto nodded.
"Where too…?" Naruto once again did the same thing.
Not replying before Sasuke got the answer out of him.
"Mall…" He replied and they met up with the others.
Everyone introduced themselves with Sasuke and they all walked down to the mall which was only a few blocks down. By passing street lights they arrived finally shopping and having time together eating food while looking at the new up to date fashion styles. Naruto tend to cling onto Sasuke most of the time by just standing really close to the raven unless something interested him. Sasuke waited for the others to be done so that he might be able to sleep good that night. Sipping another bottle of soda he waited and everyone came out holding large bags. Naruto carried a large bag and felt tired since his body was not use to going out. Sasuke treated him to a cold drink and checked his mental health seeing Naruto getting exhausted from being outside for too long. Maybe he did care for the boy. He thought and moved down back to the group.
"Awesome! This is the best time I ever had!" Kiba told and jumped up with excitement.
"Naruto did you have fun?" Sakura asked and Naruto gave no answer.
"Naruto, are you doing alright?" Naruto faced her and answered.
"Noisy." He whispered and Sakura might have guessed it was due to what happened in the past.
She was not known to be dumb; after all she had the most advanced classes out of the group. She was able to pick up things in a faster pace than others. She was known to be the oldest female in the group. Naruto held the bags only to drop them tiredly when his arms gave up on him. Sasuke picked them up without saying a word as they moved on when Naruto recognized the alley he was tortured in. He had sudden flashbacks covering his head.
"Naruto is there anything wrong?" Sasuke saw the change of emotion on the blonde's face.
"I'm f-fine." Naruto replied and they moved to the college arriving in record time before the sun was about to set.
"I'll see you tomorrow then!" Sakura wave to the group leaving with the girls to their dorms and everyone began to disperse their way to their dorms.
Naruto and Sasuke walked to the Pine Dorms and went inside the elevator with Sasuke still carrying Naruto's bought items. Naruto faced the door in a daze shaking it off when the bell dinged.
"Naruto you want anything to eat?" He heard no answer and saw Naruto on the ground.
"Holy mother fucking shit!" He yelled opening the door once he carried Naruto to their dorm and bringing him to a cooler part of the area.
"Hey Naruto…!" He yelled and suddenly tripped over smacking his lips on Naruto's when he tripped from the large bag of Naruto's newly bought clothes.
Sasuke placed Naruto on the couch in shock falling to his knees. Brushing his fingers over his lips, he looked over at Naruto's condition to see he had a slight fever and that he was exhausted. Who wouldn't when a pile of girls would just tell him to buy something? Rubbing his lips one more time a weird mix of feelings entered his stomach making him slightly dizzy. His last thoughts before tending to Naruto was.
His lips were soft.
