Chapter 5: Love Game

It was Monday morning, the day when Naruto would show up with a very famous ex-actor at his side. A very famous asshole of an ex-actor, one whose hate was mutually felt. Naruto wasn't really nervous, but he was definitely something. Just wound up, perhaps. They'll probably get in some kind of fight and end up brawling on the floor in the middle of the cafeteria after Naruto throws a tater tot or some shit at the bastard. Then a bunch of girls will cry. Naruto sighed; he could see it all already.

He grabbed his backpack and exited the apartment, being sure it was locked, and headed outside to meet the bastard at his house, which was oh-so-conveniently next door. He knocked on the door, getting his hopes up that Itachi would answer and say, "Oh Naruto! I decided that Sasuke was great at being an actor so we're moving back." No such luck, the bastard opened the door.

"I'll be right out in a few minutes. Wait by my car." Then the door was shut in his face. Naruto glared at the door; would a little hospitality hurt him? Apparently so.

He turned around to look at the car parked in the driveway, which he assumed was Sasuke's. He had no clue what kind of car it was, but it looked shiny and expensive and new and sporty as hell. Naruto was jealous. He considered keying the car out of spite, but he didn't.

After a while, the door to bastard's house slammed shut and was locked as Sasuke stepped outside. He pressed something on his keychain, and the car Naruto was drooling over beeped and the doors opened vertically. Sasuke glanced over at Naruto and smirked, and Naruto had to be sure to wipe any expression of envy off his face. He threw his backpack in the car and sat down like he did this every day.

The doors closed and Sasuke started the car up, when suddenly: 'Let's have some fun this beat is sick, I wanna take a ride on your disco stick. Don't think too much just bust that kick, I wanna take a ride on your disco stick' started blasting through the speakers. Naruto felt his eyes grow wide in surprise as Sasuke jumped and quickly reached over to eject a CD, swearing up a storm about Itachi.

"You!" he pointed at Naruto, lowering the driver's window to toss the CD out. "You won't say anything!"

The blond felt his mouth straining to twitch, laughter trying to escape, which came out as a strangled snort. "You like disco sticks, Sasuke?" He couldn't help it after that and started laughing so hard he teared up.

The raven was glaring so hard he half-expected the car to explode from the heat of it. Sasuke said nothing else and backed out of the driveway and started the ten minute drive to school. Naruto's amusement subsided quickly after that and he felt his eyelids growing heavy. He leaned on the door and decided to rest his eyes.

Next thing he knew, he was sprawled on the pavement with a smirking bastard standing over him. Naruto groaned and sat up, reaching inside the car to grab his backpack before standing up. "What the hell was that for?"

Uchiha didn't feel like responding and just pressed the button to close and lock his car doors before whirling around to head inside. Naruto stretched out his arms and back before following. The parking lot was strangely empty; he expected a pack of girls would be waiting for Sasuke's arrival. He guessed Tsunade was cracking down on that so that Naruto could have the extra time to introduce the areas of the school.

Naruto took the lead once they were inside and headed for the main offices. He smirked to himself and started humming the Lady Gaga song, which earned him a rough shove from behind. He merely glanced behind him and grinned innocently. "Something wrong?"

"Hn." Bastard tried to look completely blasé as he stuffed his hands in his pockets and looked over Naruto's shoulder, refusing to make eye contact. Naruto smirked to himself and opened up the door to the main office.

"Hi Naruto!" Shizune greeted. "And welcome to Konoha High, Mr. Uchiha!" She stood up to shake the raven's hand, which he did so after a moment of studying said hand.

"Thanks."

"Where's granny?" Naruto asked, and while Shizune didn't bat an eye at his nickname for the principal, Sasuke gave him an odd look.

"In her office waiting for you two. You can go right in."

The two boys slipped inside her office, closing the door quietly after them, to find a sleeping Tsunade crashed out on her desk. Naruto rolled his eyes and walked up to the desk, slapping her across the head. She jumped up and shock, fully awake, and sighed when she saw the two. "You'll be the death of me, brat."

"And you'd deserve it, after making me be around this bastard so much."

Tsunade looked up to see Sasuke still standing by the door, his face perfectly blank. "Sasuke Uchiha, it's a pleasure to meet you and have you at our school. My name is Tsunade Sannin and you don't have to let Naruto talk about like that."

It was barely noticeable, but the edge of the raven's mouth turned up into a small smirk. "The words that come from a dumbass don't bother me."

The principal grinned, looking between the two boys, either ignoring or just completely unaware of the hostility between them. "Good, you bite back. Don't let Naruto jerk you around, he'll get over your presence soon."

"Doubt it," Naruto muttered, which went ignored.

"Now that you two are acquainted enough, Naruto, you may leave to show Sasuke the school grounds. And don't forget that you'll be cutting each class a few minutes short to meet up with Sasuke at his to show him his next one. And also, keep in mind that a large portion of the student body may be... enthusiastic about his presence. We're not allowing anyone to get into school this early right now, but when school starts, it'll be more of a problem until they're used to Sasuke being here."

"Yeah yeah I got it," Naruto sighed, already shoving past Sasuke to open the door. "You'll make this up to me."

She snorted. "Go already before I hit you, brat."

They left, and wandered the halls in silence. Heaving a sigh, Naruto got out Sasuke's schedule and looked it over. "We have the first period together, and you have second period free. You can't leave campus during that time unless the free period is last in the day. I'll just meet you in the cafeteria before third period so I can take you to Art."

The bastard rolled his eyes. "Great plan. Now show me where the cafeteria is, idiot."

"I was getting to that, bastard!" They walked through the halls, Naruto noticing how odd it was that the school was so quiet and empty. He lead the raven around to the cafeteria, to the courtyard, library, nurse's office, his new locker, gymnasium. Near the end, he was seeing other students trickling through the halls, who stopped and gawked at the celebrity, so Naruto dragged the bastard to their first class and had him sit in the corner. Naruto sat on his left, and hoped one of his friends got here soon to sit in front of the raven.

Sakura was the first through the door, and when she saw Sasuke her eyes lit up like it was Christmas. Naruto felt himself blush at the sight of his crush, and jealousy that her attention was elsewhere, and Sasuke noticed and gave him that god awful smirk. So Naruto was surprised when Sakura saw him, looked confused, and proceeded to sit on the blond's left instead of the desk right in front of Sasuke.

"Good morning, Naruto," she said, sounding slightly breathless, as if she ran to class. "Can I ask why you're sitting next to the guy that you swore up and down that you hated? I just find it weird."

Naruto gave her a cheery smile. "Tsunade assigned me to show him around for a while. Just my luck, right?" He idly wondered if he let it slip that he was also his neighbor, if that would get her to come over.

She laughed, the sound music to his ears, and he found himself laughing with her and smiling like an idiot. "That is just your luck. I guess it's better than having a fanboy or fangirl do it, though. I imagine he gets tired of it."

Naruto shrugged. "I'm sure he loves the attention." He glanced at the raven and sent him a glare, who stared straight ahead and acted like the two weren't even there.

Before Sakura could respond, Kiba was next through the door, and Naruto shot up from his seat. "KIBA!"

"OH MY GOD NARUTO I MISSED YOU SO MUCH." The dog lover ran between the desks and threw his arms around the best friend he just saw the day before, while Sakura rolled her eyes good-naturedly.

He took the seat in front of Sasuke and gave the actor a curious look. Finally, he offered his hand and grinned. "Kiba Inuzuka."

"Hn."

Naruto rolled his eyes. "I told you he's an asshole, didn't I, Kiba? Don't even try. This morning I fell asleep on the way over here and he opened the car door and dumped me out in the school parking lot."

His best friend gave the bastard an icy look, which was met by a very amused smirk. "Should have gotten a ride with me."

"Don't worry, I learned that lesson. Thanks man."

Sakura was glancing at the three boys, growing more and more curious. "Wait," she said, "why were you riding with Sasuke anyway?"

"I live next to him. I met his brother and he set that up. And for the record, Sasuke," midnight eyes met blue ones, "your brother is actually decent. You should be more like him."

Sasuke scoffed. "My brother is evil incarnate, dumbass. Like with that CD this morning."

"No one's going to judge you too harshly about liking Lady Gaga and disco sticks, stop blaming Itachi for—" Naruto went crashing against the floor with his desk, failing to notice Sasuke reaching his foot over to tug at the desk leg. Kiba's eyes were round in surprise, and Sakura had a hand over her mouth, not sure whether to laugh or ask if her friend was okay.

Before either of his two friends could do anything, Naruto was reaching up to haul the raven out of his desk and to the floor, flipping them over so that he was straddling the bastard. He threw a punch at his nose but his wrist was grabbed by Sasuke, who then grabbed the blond around the throat and used the shock to flip positions. He held both of the blond's wrists in one hand and was about to punch him when new arrivals broke up the fight and shoved the two back in their desks.

Gaara and Sai stood there. Gaara was glaring, Sai looked entertained—no surprise there— while Sakura was looking shocked and Kiba was laughing his ass off. Before anything else was said or done, the rest of the class was entering the room, which started to fill with squeals and whispers.

Ino had run right up to Sasuke and tried tugging Naruto out of his desk so she could sit there. "Hey bitch back off!" Sakura had snapped, and Ino had stopped only to lean on Sasuke's desk, making sure to squeeze her assets together with her arms. The fact that Sasuke pretended she wasn't even there didn't stop her at all from blabbering on about herself and asking him questions.

For once, Kakashi was right on time, adult book written by Naruto's guardian in hand. "Class, shut up. Ino, sit down. Far away from Sasuke and in a desk," he added, as she actually attempted to sit on the floor between Naruto and Sasuke's desks. She pouted and moved. He began teaching, and the rest of the hour was normal after that.

Math passed without much excitement. Naruto just talked to Sai, who showed him some of his own art, which was actually pretty damn good. Before he knew he was leaving Math early, meeting Sasuke in the cafeteria, and dragging him to Art without a word passing between the two.

After shoving off some of the girls that left the Art class as they were trying to get in, he and Sasuke finally managed to seat themselves at a table in the back. "Who teaches this class?" Sasuke asked, his words muffled from the linked fingers he had in front of his mouth, his elbows propped up on the table.

"Genma and Raidou."

He felt the bastard's eyes on him now, probably curious. "Why two teachers?"

"One keeps the other in line." Sasuke rolled his eyes and scoffed, and Naruto almost grinned, sure his explanation wasn't taken seriously. He'll find out soon enough.

The rest of the class was now entering, and Naruto noticed Sasuke jump in surprise. The blond looked over to see a man standing behind Sasuke, complete creeper face on, breathing down the boy's neck.

Sasuke settled down and looked at the man coolly. "Can I help you?"

"You are a delicious looking thing, aren't you? Two yummy boys at one table, be still my heart!" The man placed a hand over his heart and pretended to swoon. Naruto and the rest of the class were quickly becoming amused, while Sasuke continued to give him an icy look.

Another man had come in and dragged the first away by the collar, before turning back to Sasuke. "Excuse my colleague, Sasuke, he has a few issues up here." He tapped his head. "I'm Raidou, my fellow teacher here—"

"And boyfriend," Genma squealed.

"—is Genma." Naruto smirked over at Sasuke, who gave him a disbelieving 'You weren't kidding' face, much to the blond's satisfaction.

The rest of the class passed relatively normal (if you ignore the bedroom eyes Genma kept giving Naruto and Sasuke) up until the end. Raidou had to take a personal call outside the classroom, and the moment he was gone Genma was turning was turning on the screen that linked to the computer and started showing the class pictures of himself and Raidou cuddling after sex. Naruto heard a sigh beside him, and laughed.

History and the first half of Health and lunch passed without much excitement. Naruto mostly talked to Kiba and Shikamaru while completely ignoring Sasuke, who also sat with them at lunch and was ignored after the initial attempt by Naruto's friends to befriend the raven. Somehow they still ended up grasping each other on the lunch room floor and passed it off as playing around when Tsunade saw them, after which they just glared at each other and went back to class.

Naruto was back in Health with his friends, who were watching him poke and rub some cuts and bruises. "Girls can be scary," Kiba whispered.

The blond winced. "This is your fault. Why should I have to keep the crazies off of you?"

"Hn." Just that simple non-word was enough to make Naruto's temper rocket up, every time.

Fuming, he turned away from his neighbor as Jiraiya walked back into the class. He eyed every student and grinned, and Naruto didn't like the look on his face. His worries were confirmed a minute later. "We're starting a little group project. You're all seniors; last year of High School, so let's take one more opportunity to get to know each other."

Shikamaru sighed, slouching more in his chair. "What does this have to do with Health?"

His question went ignored. "Pair up." The class started moving around, and Naruto stayed next to Kiba and grinned as he saw Ino bearing down on Sasuke. He was even more amused when Sasuke darted over to the quiet girl that was Hinata, who immediately started stuttering and blushing, and Ino stormed off.

After the class was settled in their pairs, Jiraiya eyed them all. He quirked an eyebrow at Sasuke and Hinata, and settled on Kiba and Naruto. "Naruto, don't you think you know Kiba well enough by now?"

"Not really, no. He holds many secrets in his heart, my Kiba."

The pervert grinned in amusement, but wasn't amused enough to not interfere with the pairings. "Naruto, Hinata, switch seats." Naruto noticed Kiba didn't look upset at all. 'Traitor!' he thought, sighing as he sat down next to Sasuke.

"Now," Jiraiya continued. "I'll give you the first part now. It's just a bunch of questions you'll be answering about your partner. Spend time together during a free period, or outside school, call each other up, whatever. Just get to know them, make new bonds before the year is up. Don't make shit up, I'll know. This is due this Friday, so carry on." He sat down and started typing something on his computer, which was more than likely a draft of his next adult novel.

With five minutes left in class, no one really bothered attempting to start the assignment now. Naruto looked at Sasuke from the corner of his eye. "When do you want to meet up to do this?"

"Hn."

The blond grit his teeth, and he saw the raven looking smug at his reaction. He breathed in deeply, and let it all out after a second or two. "Tomorrow, then, asshole. After school."

"Whatever, loser." The bell rang, and Naruto tore from his seat to go to Gym, with Sasuke keeping up easily.

Gym was another headache-inducing affair with Gai as the coach, yelling at them about youth and energy and spirit as they played a hard game of basketball. The only good thing about it was Naruto got to 'accidentally' slam into Sasuke, sending the bastard sprawling on the floor and glaring at Naruto with eyes that promised revenge. If Naruto was perfectly honest, that part scared him a bit, but no one needed to know.

The class filed into the shower room to wash off. Naruto rinsed the sweat off quickly and wrapped a towel around himself as he dried himself off outside his stall, zoning out. Sai was watching him curiously as he dried his short black hair.

The pale boy walked up to Naruto, so close that his mouth was next to the blond's ear. "You're bisexual, Naruto?"

Naruto shivered at Sai's breath on his ear and looked at his friend warily. "Just straight. Why?"

Sai laughed, and didn't move from his spot, leaving Naruto to squirm at the hot puffs of breath on his ear and neck. "You're a bit too... watchful in the men's shower room for someone who is completely straight, which is why I ask."

Heat creeped up Naruto's face. "I don't watch anyone in here." He was pretty sure he didn't, anyway. Why was he so nervous now, and embarrassed?

"I'm gay, so I won't be judging you. I just wanted to point it out, maybe you yourself haven't even noticed." He pulled away from his friend, smirked, and placed a hand on the blond's bare chest. "Do some experimenting, see for yourself." And he was gone, leaving Naruto feeling embarrassed and the spot on his chest where Sai had his hand feeling hot.

He looked around to see if anyone had noticed the exchange and his eyes met Sasuke's. He gave the bastard a warning look, but all he received was a blank one in return. They finished toweling off and getting dressed, and Naruto showed Sasuke where Science was and left to go meet Kiba out in the parking lot.

Sasuke was in the school parking lot, sitting in the driver's seat in his car waiting for Naruto to show up. He was feeling annoyed and angry, though he couldn't pinpoint why other than the emotions grew when he thought about Naruto. He usually didn't get so easily pissed off or amused, but with Naruto he felt those feelings frequently and in large amounts, which annoyed and pissed him off to know.

He drummed his fingers on his steering wheel, getting impatient. If the blond wasn't going to show up soon, he was out of here. He saw a head of pink hair the next car over and he opened his door and climbed out of his car.

"Sakura," he called, and he saw the girl still and look at him in shock. Then a blush took over her face, and he internally sighed. At least she didn't try groping him or start word vomiting like Ino. But she was the blond's friend, so maybe she would know where he was. "Where's Naruto?"

"Naruto?" She looked confused for whatever reason. "He and Kiba have the last hour free, so they leave after Gym. He didn't mention it to you?"

"Hn," he responded and climbed back in his car, stabbing the keys into the ignition and peeled out of the parking space and away from the school. Once again, he felt really angry at the blond, and he didn't stop to question it.
