I wanted to post this sooner but a lot of people wanted more Yukio and I didn't like the transition between the next chapter and the previous so I added a chapter...

As always, I own nothing, enjoy and please review

Inspired by the Bedlight for Blue Eyes song

Chapter 13: Too Late For Us

Yukio sat on a ledge by a set of stairs leading up to one of the classroom buildings. He wasn't sitting there to wait for his next class, but rather he sat to watch Sasuke. Part of him was starting to feel like a stalker, but the other part didn't care. He wanted Sasuke back and he was going to get him back. He was sure that Sasuke didn't notice him at that point because if he did then he would have left.

He watched as Sasuke studied, or tried to at least. His blond roommate didn't seem to be letting him, which annoyed Yukio. Every now and then he'd see Sasuke let out a small chuckle and it made him want to punch the other blond. He felt that the other man was getting in his way and something needed to be done about it. 'What can I do to insure that he won't be a problem?' he asked himself. Yukio smirked when he realized that all he needed to do was make him break Sasuke's trust and then he could sweep in and pick up the pieces.

"Come on, you know that you want to," Naruto smiled. Sasuke loved his smile, not that he'd tell him that. It was something that scared him about Naruto; he had the same kind of smile as Yukio. "It's just one day, I promise it'll be fun," he said excitedly. He wanted to get the other man out of his comfort zone, to loosen him up a little.

"Will it shut you up?" Sasuke asked, knowing the answer to that question. The blond had been bugging him to go to a near by amusement park. Once he had heard that Sasuke had never been to one he had started to try to get him to go.

"I can't promise that, but you should know that by now," he replied as he continued to smile. He could sense that Sasuke was getting ready to cave in, which made him even more persistent. "But I will let you study right now," he promised.

Sasuke looked at him and sighed, "Fine, just shut up." He had been feeling eyes on him all day and he was sure that he knew who it was. Sasuke looked over his shoulder and saw Yukio staring at him. He had a mischievous glint in his eyes that told him that he was up to no good. He looked back toward Naruto and felt even more uncomfortable. The blond was looking at him and he was obviously worried.

"Ignore him," Naruto said. He could see that Sasuke was tense and he knew why. It was the third time that week that the man had been staring at them and he knew that it was making Sasuke feel uncomfortable.

"I thought you were leaving so that I could study," Sasuke replied. It was a defense mechanism; he never seemed to talk about things that made him uncomfortable, or more that dealt with emotions.

"I just want to make sure you're okay," Naruto told him. He had a look of seriousness that was unusual for the blond. He was genuinely concerned about Sasuke and wished that he'd talk to him.

"Don't worry about me," Sasuke demanded. "I'm fine, I've dealt with worse," he assured him, though the words weren't truly assuring. It just made him feel worse to be reminded about how horrible Sasuke's childhood had been.

Naruto knew not to push Sasuke, but rather just let the subject go. "Alright, I'm leaving," Naruto smiled as he got up from the table, wishing that Sasuke would smile back. "I should get to class anyway," he added, dreading that he'd have to walk past Yukio in order to get to his class. "I'll see you later," he called back to him as he walked away from the dark haired man.

As he walked toward the building that his class was in, he tried to ignore Yukio. He didn't look at him, hoping not to start a fight with him. He knew that if Yukio said anything stupid to him then he might not be able to resist the urge to punch the man. However, Yukio had other plans. "Hey," he called as Naruto walked past him. When he didn't stop, Yukio pulled his arm to make him.

"What do you want?" he asked, glaring at the other blond. He could tell that he was up to something and he was sure that it involved Sasuke. Naruto knew that Yukio wanted Sasuke back; he just wasn't sure to what extent he'd go to in order to get what he wanted.

"Here," he said, handing him a piece of paper. When Naruto looked at him confused, he said, "It's the location of the prison that Sasuke's brother is in, maybe he'll give you some answers." He was sure that Naruto didn't know everything. Sasuke hadn't told him everything when they were dating, so he was sure that the other blond probably knew nothing.

Naruto gave the paper back to him, "No thanks." He knew that Yukio was trying to get him to do something stupid and he wasn't falling for it. "I'm sure Sasuke will tell me when he's ready," he told him, not wanting to break Sasuke's trust. "You may think that I'm stupid, but I can assure you that I'm not," he informed him. He was ready to walk away, but Yukio continued.

"I don't think that you're stupid. I know that you're stupid," he taunted him. He wanted to provoke a reaction out of the other man and by the look on his face he knew that he was going to. He figured that he'd yell at him, but he was wrong. Before he even realized what was happening, Naruto punched him in the face. He was on the ground, his hand over his left eye, where he was sure that a bruise was already forming. "You're in for it now," he told him as he got up and lunged toward him.

Naruto was smarter than him and quickly moved out of the way, causing Yukio to fall to the ground. A group had formed around them and Naruto said, "You might as well stop, you're making a fool out of yourself." However Yukio didn't stop, which caused Naruto to land another punch.

Soon Sasuke had come over and saw what was going on. "You've got to be kidding me," he said under his breath as two guys had pulled them apart. Once the two saw Sasuke glaring at them, they knew that both of them were on the shit list. "Come on," he growled as he pulled Naruto out of the group of people. The group just watched, but didn't follow. While they all wanted to know what was going on, they weren't stupid. Everyone knew not to mess with an angry Uchiha.

Naruto was slightly scared when Sasuke pulled him off toward a secluded place, "I have to get to class you know." He didn't want to have the conversation he thought was coming. He was sure that Sasuke was going to be angry with him, after all Sasuke felt that he could fight his own battles.

"You had enough time to fight with him, I'm sure you can talk to me," he growled. Naruto knew at that point that he shouldn't argue. When the stopped walking, Sasuke took a minute to talk, which made the blond worry more. "What the hell were you thinking?" he asked, though he figured the problem was that Naruto wasn't thinking.

"He was being an asshole," Naruto replied. "How am I the bad guy? He's the jerk, not me," he said defensively. He didn't want Sasuke to be mad at him, but he had to stand up for himself.

"I know, but I don't need you to fight my battles," he replied. "I have enough people wanting to fight my battles and if I let them then Yukio would probably dead right now," he informed him. Naruto could see that Sasuke was sick of people feeling like he needed to be protected. While Sasuke was somewhat yelling at him, he skill couldn't help but be a little happy that Naruto punched him.

"Okay, I'm sorry," the blond replied. "Just keep me away from him and it won't happen again," he promised, causing Sasuke to give him to glare at him again. "I'm kidding, it won't happen again," he laughed, to which Sasuke just shook his head.

"Just go to class moron," Sasuke told him, though they both knew there was a small smile on his face. Naruto just smiled back at him before walking back toward his class. Sasuke took a deep breath as he wondered, 'What the hell is wrong with me?'

"Hey, I heard what happened," Suigetsu said immediately after walking up to Sasuke. Apparently the fight had been the talk of the school all day, which didn't amuse Sasuke. There had been plenty of rumors, varying from him dating Yukio again to him and Naruto becoming an item. "Any of those rumors true?" he asked with a grin, which told him that he was asking if he's dating Naruto.

"No," Sasuke assured him. "They were just being idiots," he said. When Suigetsu gave him a look of skepticism, he said, "I'm serious, nothing happened." He was getting annoyed with his best friend and ready to walk away if he didn't drop the subject.

"What was the fight even about?' he asked. He wanted to ask about what he and Naruto had done when he pulled him away from the crowd.

"Them acting like children," Sasuke replied. He didn't know how else to answer the question; he wasn't there when the fight started. "I don't know," he admitted. "I wasn't there to see the actual fight," Sasuke told him.

"So, is Yukio stalking you?" he asked, realizing that he'd seen the man a lot when he hung out with Sasuke. He saw the look on Sasuke's face and he knew the answer wasn't a good one. He had a feeling that the answer was going to be yes, which made him worried about Sasuke.

"I'm starting to think so," the Uchiha replied. He frowned when he thought about how many times he'd seen Yukio in that week alone. "I'm starting to think that it isn't just a coincidence that I ran into him," he dark haired man told him. Suigetsu could hear the uncertainty in his voice and he knew that Sasuke was once again feeling insecure. Sasuke wished that Yukio would just leave him alone, but Suigetsu had a feeling that it wasn't going to happen that easily.

"It is weird that right after I tell you about him he suddenly shows up," Suigetsu agreed. He hadn't really thought much of it at the time, but he realized that Yukio seemed like he wanted to be seen by him. He had smirked when he knew that Suigetsu had seen him, as if he knew that he'd run to tell Sasuke immediately. "The guy is a creep," he told him, understanding why Sasuke would feel insecure when Yukio was around.

"Don't you have class?" Sasuke asked realizing what day and time it was. He knew that Suigetsu usually hurried to that class because he shared it with his girlfriend.

"Yeah, I should get going," he sighed. "I've been kind of avoiding Karin," he admitted with a frown. He ran a hand through his hair, trying to know how to explain it. "She's just been acting weird and I have no idea what I did," he told him. "I'm just hoping that it passes," he said with an unsure smile.

"Good luck with that," Sasuke chuckled, knowing how Karin was when she got mad. Suigetsu didn't seem happy with his response, but didn't say anything. He walked away, giving one last gesture as he gave him the finger. "Don't be mad at me because you did something to piss her off," Sasuke said to him with a small laugh.

Sasuke was walking back to his dorm when Yukio walked up to him. He was really starting to annoy the young Uchiha. "What do you want?" he asked, his tone was somewhat angry, mixed with annoyance. "I thought I told you to leave me alone," he said.

"I just wanted to say that I'm sorry about that fight," he said, trying to make Sasuke let his guard down. "It was stupid," he told him, taking a step closer to him. "You know like a lot of things I've done," they both knew he was talking about how he broke Sasuke's heart.

Sasuke stepped back away from him, not falling for his tricks again. "Leave me alone," he told him. "And while you're at it, leave Naruto alone too," he added, not sure why he was protecting him. "You're starting to creep me out, you're acting like a stalker," he pointed out, wishing that the man would just leave him alone.

"I just want to be by you again," he said, again taking a step closer. "I miss you," he said gently, smiling at him as if it'd make it all better. "Just give me a chance," he pleaded as he went to put a hand on Sasuke's cheek.

Sasuke pushed him away, "Don't touch me." He backed away again, not feeling comfortable being so close to the other man. "Just accept the fact that we're over and we have been since you broke up with me in high school," he said angrily. He hated that the man thought that he could just walk back into his life and everything would be okay. "Just leave me and my friends alone," he demanded, not even realizing that he was including Naruto as one of his friends.

"Why can't I just be one of those friends?" he asked, he always tried to talk himself out of trouble. He didn't try to move closer again, he had a feeling he may be punched again if he did. "Give me a chance to show that I really have changed," he begged. Though if he was being honest with himself, he knew that he wasn't all that different from high school. He wasn't going to let Sasuke know how many hearts he'd broken since they'd broken up, he wanted Sasuke back not for him to push him further away.

"I'm not stupid," he told him. "I'm not the kid I use to be," he added, letting him know that he wasn't going to fall for it again. "I'm only going to say this one more time," he started, part of him wishing that Naruto was there. He had a feeling that the other blond could intimidate Yukio. "Leave me alone," he demanded. "Unless you want me to let Naruto or Juugo to rip your head off," he said casually. "Really you're just lucky that my brother's already in jail or you'd probably be dead already," he informed him, wanting him to leave and having a feeling that bringing up his "murder" brother might to the trick.

Yukio didn't respond so Sasuke said, "That's what I thought." He walked past him and didn't look back. He was over Yukio; it was too late for them to ever have any kind of relationship again. As the saying goes "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." He refused to get fooled again.
