"You are not alone. You are instead lonely.
There is loneliness as can exist only in the midst of numbers
and numbers of people who don't know you,
who don't care about you,
who won't let you care about them."
— James Simon Kunen, The Strawberry Statement

"What?"
"What, what?"
A young blonde boy scowled. "You are staring at me, Uchiha Sasuke. What is it?"
Sasuke smirked as he continued his blatant staring, "Are you conscious of my presence, Naruto?"
The blond boy just rolled his eyes and turned his back on him.
Sasuke gently grabbed Naruto's chin. "Hey, I was asking you, usaronkontachi." He grinned when the blonde's cheeks flushed a little.
Deep blue eyes – the color of the sky – stared at him for a moment before a loud and heartfelt laugh echoed in garden. A few students turned their heads on the two of them, idly wondering about the laugh just now. But when they saw Sasuke staring at them rather crudely, they immediately cut their prying, afraid of taking the wrath of the infamous Uchiha.
It was now Sasuke's turn to scowl.
"What are you laughing at, usaronkontachi?"
Naruto wiped the tears in his eyes and stared at Sasuke again, his mouth was twitching.
"You are the one who ate my rice ball, teme, aren't you?"
Naruto was curiously jovial.
He was just so furious about the stolen lunch an hour ago.
Sasuke's eyebrows arched. "And so?" he said defiant.
Naruto looked like he was ready to burst from laughing again.
This made Sasuke growled in irritation.
What the hell was happening?
Naruto was supposed to be pissed at him, and not the other way around. The young blonde teenager seemed delighted and thrilled at the situation.
Why you asked?
"You had nori stuck between your teeth, Sasuke!"
..
Grunts, gasps, and moans were circling above the huge bed in the middle of the room where two naked bodies were intertwined to each other.
Sasuke propelled again, eliciting a long groan from the man beneath him.
But the sexual elation he was feeling right now was not enough to cover his deep pit of longing for a certain someone.
After his release, he immediately stood and walked away from the bed, leaving the tan and blonde young man still incoherently shuddering from aftermath of the gravity-defying sex.
Sasuke immediately closed the bathroom door.
He looked below and sighed at his problem.
"You fucking piece of shit," he muttered to himself as he slumped on the cold, bathroom floor.
He was still fucking hard.
But he didn't want to do it again with that man. Seeing his blond hair and tanned skin was just making him remembered some unwanted memories of his past.
He knew that Neji and Sakura were doing their best to look for someone who closely resembled him. Heck, it was not easy, for sure. But all these pathetic attempts were just making him seriously ill. He didn't want them but he needed them.
It was annoyingly complicated.
He needed them because of the sex.
And he didn't want them because they weren't really Naruto even if some of them really did resemble the blonde.
There was just something so gravely wrong with them.
The eyes, for example.
Naruto had a set of deep, sky blue eyes. They were like the color of the ocean, mirroring the sky above.
Sasuke cupped his face and closed his eyes as he let his mind wander. He started pumping himself.
Naruto.
In his mind, he saw a young Naruto animatedly talking to him about the ramen he just tasted yesterday. He was smiling so wide and his eyes were staring directly to his.
He knew now that those eyes never lied to him.
Not even once.
Sasuke's grip tightened on his shaft.
The image of Naruto laughing was slowly being engraved to his mind.
He was talking about the ocean now, and how he loved to go there in summer. He was smiling.
And that face... that face where those whiskered-like birthmarks were lying.
His hands pumped more rapidly. Sasuke could almost feel the pleasing feeling in his gut, ready to explode.
But it was not enough.
"Naruto..."
He heard a faint knocking on the door.
"Leave," he said loud enough to be heard outside. He glared at it; his hand was still stiff on his organ. Masturbating wasn't so bad, but sometimes, he found it hard to cum by just rubbing it using his hands.
It was fucking pathetic.
He looked pathetic.
Sasuke growled when he heard another knock again.
He bit his lower lip in frustration.
He had not come yet, for fuck's sake!
Sasuke didn't even try to cover his body and opened the bathroom door like a God from Mount Olympus, his cock was stiff and long for the while world to see.
"I SAID LEAVE, YOU FUCKING –" Sasuke's glower turned into an annoyed look as he gazed at his friend.
It was Hyuuga.
"Neji? What the fuck are you doing here?" he said as he cross his arm as if he wasn't naked as a newborn baby.
Sasuke had no qualms in showing his body to other people.
He warily stole a glance on the bed and he almost jumped in joy when he saw no one there.
He sent his thanks to heavens and whoever was listening there.
Neji pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. "Will you please cover that mighty shaft of yours? I so don't need to see that."
Sasuke just grunted and closed the door again. Thanks to Neji's unsolicited help, his long, hard rod softened like it would never be hard again.
Neji sighed again as he sat on a neay sofa bed. "It stinks here," he commented, scrunching his nose. "What kind of perfume was that?"
"I don't know and I don't care," he deadpanned. Sasuke thought for a while and smirked. "Or maybe it was his perfume."
"I can also smell something different. What was that?"
Neji blinked as he realized his mistake.
He knew he should have not asked.
Oh god.
Sasuke smirked. "It was the smell of semen, my good, good friend," he teased. "I just came a while ago, you know."
Neji looked like he was going to threw up.
Sasuke was his friend. But sometimes, this crude attitude of his was the exact reason why his better off alone most of the time.
The bastard knew his nose was kind of sensitive.
Neji was an incense master and he mastered the Kodo, the art of Japanese incense ceremony, at the age of 25 (Neji started when he was 10 years old) that would normally take 30 years.
"Thank for that artless information, Sasuke," The white-haired man said as he covered his nose with his hands.
Sasuke bowed, "Why, thank you, your highness," he said and smirked.
Neji just closed his eyes in disgust.
"What's with this superfluous visit, hn?" Sasuke asked as he rubbed his hair with a white towel. "Sakura called me two hours ago and said she wanted to talk to me first thing in the morning. Was that call and this visit related to each other?"
Neji straightened his back, forgetting the foul odor of the door, and nodded.
Sasuke suddenly became serious. "What is it?"
Neji sighed as he scratched his head. He looked as if he was weighing if he should answer that or not.
"Spill it already, Neji," Sasuke grunted, not liking the way Neji was looking at him.
When his friend finally broke the news to him, Sasuke's eyes widened in astonishment.
"I think we finally know Naruto Uzumaki's exact whereabouts."
