Faithful Encounters 3
"Fuck you teme... Fuck you...".
Sasuke smirked. "Watch your language dobe...it's not befitting for a young lady as yourself to say such vulgar words".
"Ugghhh! To hell with this!". Naruto threw all the books and paper he was carrying, which felt more like 20 ton barbels flying across the hallway. He was huffing in a (baggy) maids dress that Sasuke not so unintentionally asked (demanded) the dobe to wear.
"...dobe why did you do that?" .
"WHY THE HELL AM I IN A FUCKING MAID'S DRESS!".
"...what are you complaining about? You're the one who chose to wear that".
"Because! The first maid outfit you made me wear is fucking frilly! And not to mention, SKIN TIGHT!".
"Hn...".
"WHY THE HELL AM I DOING THIS THING ANYWAY!", Naruto bawled, flailing his arms like he was attempting to actually fly away, to which, he really wanted to do.
Sasuke turned his gaze to the flailing blonde, arching up one brow and gave an unbelieving look to the dobe."Seriously, dobe? Are you really that forgetful or are you just turning senile?". Sasuke asked, face dead serious with the question, but when he noticed the blonde's face growing purple with anger, Sasuke merely sighed while pinching the bride of his nose and furrowing his brows. He then turned to the blonde and smirked. "You lost the bet, remember...".
Naruto let down the arm he was just about to hull towards Sasuke, his face contorting into a blank, then going all pale.
Sasukes' smirk grew wider. It was seriously amusing watching the blonde's face contort in so many different expressions by the second. Sasuke stiffened a giggle. He could really read Naruto like a book.
-Flashback, 1 week ago-
"YOU'RE SERIOUSLY GOING TO DO ALL THAT?".
It was after school, and the two friends were the only ones left in school. The sun was setting, just like the time they first met in the rooftop. It held a bright orange pink hue, and the color flooded the Student Council's room, where the two boys sat in front of the other.
Sasuke just dumped 10 stacks of paper, making the blonde's eyes bulge. He truly did want to help the teme with his work since he asked so sincerely and all, but this was all just ridiculous. He wasn't the type to go back on his word, but with this workload, he might give something away...
"What are you talking about dobe? WE'RE gonna do all this by OURSELVES! You're gonna help me with it...".
Then Naruto had an idea! He inwardly smiled devilishly."Hmmm...Oh, I see...little Sasuke is soooo desperate for my help, I bet you couldn't last a day without MY help!", Naruto said smugly.
Sasuke grimaced at this. It kinda hurt him - and his pride - that the dobe said that; Naruto was definitely underestimating him! He just wanted to lessen the workload! He could definitely do it all by himself! And if the dobe kept on... then that's when Sasuke realized it. He narrowed his eyes dangerously at the blonde. "Nice try, dobe, but I'm not letting you off the hook so easily...". Sasuke really won't let the blonde off the hook easily! (Though its currently making him swallow the pride, and holding back the urge to punch the blonde in the face, and prove him wrong...) The whole purpose of this was to get to know the blonde more. Naruto was just too much of a mystery, and Sasuke was just itching to find out who the blonde actually is. He wouldn't let this chance slip, since this might be the only chance he got!
He divided a stack of papers, and gave the other half to Naruto."This is the accumulated paper work of f the school for this month. Basically, it's a detailed compilation of what happened over the school that concerns the Student Council, a few solution programs and future plans etc. Basically, you just have to read and review this, and summarize it in the shortest way possible...".
"WAIT! I thought I was here for the festival? Why the hell am I doing this?".
Sasuke sighed. "This is just a little work to get things on the flow for the festival's preparations...you won't be able to carefully plan if you don't know the components you'll be having to deal with...well its either this, or you could go help the other committee members doing physical preparations with a lot of different PEOPLE...". Sasuke smirked when he saw the blonde stiffen. The whole ordeal was really ticking Naruto off, and Sasuke could tell. He really didn't know why the blonde was so against socializing...Heck! Sasuke wasn't technically a social butterfly in any means, but the blonde just simply refuses to stand out...well it wasn't like it was causing Sasuke any trouble..to tell the truth, he actually WANTED the blonde the way he was...this way, Naruto would only look at him and him ONLY... wait...
WHAT?
"B-but the festival isn't for another 2 months!".
"Hn, so get ready for paperwork every week dobe...".
Naruto's eyes widened and he slumped in his seat, muttering - not so softly -curses, and shifting his gaze to the window, and resting his chin on one hand. He sighed and turned to Sasuke. "I'm not really cut out for this teme...maybe you should have asked another...".
"You already said yes, dobe...", Sasuke hissed, "don't wuss out now...unless you seriously don't have the balls to face a little paperwork...and besides, I believe that even 'you' are capable of summarizing these...after all, you did get in Fire University".
Naruto's faced flushed a little at this. "I - I don't know how to take that...", he said turning away a little.
Sasuke lifted his eyes, a little from his paperwork. He smirked at the blonde. "Hn, it's a compliment, dobe, don't rub it in...".
Now, Naruto's face was obviously turning into a blush... But damn, he would be in BIG trouble if THEY found out what he's doing... They said to stay low, and now he was practically being schmoozed by the Student Council President into doing something that may blow his cover...so he needed a way out of this. And fast.
Sasuke couldn't stand the silence. It was driving him nuts! A little while ago, the dobe stopped his musings and actually did the work!
Sasuke had to peal his eyes away from the blonde. Even with those insanely huge glasses, he just found the blonde breathtaking. The orange sky complimented his sun-kissed skin and the light shown through the lenses, and Sasuke could clearly see the radiant sky blue eyes, his hair slightly aglow which radiated a bright rusty gold...
Then Sasuke shook his own head to snap him out of his stupor; the blonde had caught him staring, and Sasuke could definitely FEEL the smirk on the dobe's face. "So, dobe...", Sasuke stated first, completely cutting through the silence, "Why did you come here in Fire University?".
Naruto arched his eyebrows in surprise. He definitely didn't expect Sasuke to actually start a conversation...let alone a conversation about himself! He watched in bewilderment as the raven was completely focused on him, then he grinned mischievously at the raven, making the darker haired male visibly flinch and furrow his brows. "Hmmm...curious are we? Then do I have a bet/proposition for you, teme!". Naruto wriggled his brows suggestively.
Sasuke had to fight the urge to roll his eyes and laugh his guts out at the dobe, but then he just settled for a glare. "Shut up dobe, I'm not falling for your tricks...". And with a humph, Sasuke bent his head back to work.
Naruto shrugged and did the same. After a long while, Naruto could deliberately notice the raven twitching. He smirked to himself. Sasuke was just too easy sometimes.
"where did you come from?", Sasuke finally spoke in a murmur.
Naruto didn't even turn his head, but hid his face along with the growing smirk down, pretending to focus on the paper work. "The depths of planet Gli-glocs".
Sasuke twitched. "Where did you spend your childhood?".
Naruto had to hold in a snicker. The raven was incredibly curious! It was almost comical how he suppressed his urges to punch him.
In the balls...
But heck! Naruto loved playing with Sasuke! Who was he kidding? And besides with this, his plan would definitely succeed.
"In Frog Wonderland with my Godfather, the King Toad".
Sasuke could deliberately see what the dobe's doing, but he wouldn't succumb to it!"Wh- what do you want to be when you graduate?".
"I want to be a top class ninja...".
"When's your birthday?".
"February 52".
A vein visibly popped from the raven's head, and he launched his fist, directed in between the blonde's glasses, but was stopped midway by the blonde. "Woah! That was close!". He turned and smirked at the raven. "What? I thought you wanted to know about me...rrrrrriiiiiight?", Naruto purred, making Sasukes' face turn bright purple, and looked like an over sized balloon about to pop, releasing all his frustration into a deep exasperated sigh. "Fine dobe...what's your 'proposition'?". " Damn it! Sasuke couldn't believe himself.
Naruto just grinned at him, flashing, yet again, the full set of orange braces to Sasuke. "I knew you'd come around!". Sasuke rolled his eyes. "But it isn't more of a proposition...as it is...a deal...well technically, it's a bet".
Sasuke raised both his eyebrows in suspicion.
Naruto shrugged. "Look, I'm not that bad of a guy, Sasuke-teme...I plan on keeping my word, and my word is to help you. And I'm pretty sure I'm more than capable enough to finish whatever it is you throw at me...".
Sasuke raised his eyebrows even higher. Okay, maybe the compliment he gave the blonde just rushed to his head or something...
"...but YOU my dear Sasuke-kun, I'm not so sure off...". Naruto smirked as Sasuke narrowed his eyes dangerously as if daring the blonde to say 1 more word to insult his capabilities. "So here's the deal...you take this month's workload, and finish it if you seem sooooo capable enough to do it...", Naruto said sarcastically. Then he saw Sasukes' eyes widened a little, and gave a content smirk. "And if you don't finish it by then, then I guess I'd still be doing SOME work...after all, I am a nice guy...ummm maybe about...10 percent of it?".
Sasukes' eyes widened."ARE YOU KIDDING ME?",Sasuke bawled at the blond, but Naruto just shook his finger at the raven.
"Tsk, tsk,tsk...impatient are we? Don't worry, I'll sweeten the deal for you...because if YOU win", Naruto contemplated a little,then he raised a confident finger, "We'll split the work 50/50, and you won't even hear a complaint from me...".
Sasuke was about to open his mouth in protest. THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL DEAL FROM THE START? But was stopped once again by Naruto's finger, "AAAAAAAND...I'll answer or DO anything you ask of me, no questions asked!". Naruto leaned in his chair and gave a content smirk, fully confident that he would win the bet.
Sasuke mimicked the blonde's movements, and held a pen to his smirking lip. "Hn, you're on, dobe...". And they both stared each other down for most of the remaining time...
Well to say the least, Sasuke won. After three days, the bastard presented a full out written report on the whole month's review, and he even fucking gained an award!
Naruto scowled as the teme leered on him. Oh- FUCK!
Sasuke was evil. That's a proven fact, yes, but he isn't heartless. When he handed the papers in that day, he saw the anxiety of the blonde. Hell! Sasuke could practically hear the blonde's inner mantra of curses. He gave a sigh. Like what said earlier, Sasuke Uchiha wasn't really all that heartless, and he never would want to force the blond - as hard as it may be to believe - into anything the blonde didn't want to do, especially since if what Sasuke wanted to know is of the blonde's personal life. Sasuke could very well comprehend that everyone had their secrets...right? And besides, he would make sure the dobe would tell him about himself...even if he had to follow the blonde to hell, he'd get to know the blonde's secrets...
But for now, Sasuke smirked, looking down on the blonde. He hell as sure proven the blonde wrong, and with all that, he even thought up another punishment. He hovered over the trembling blond. "Naruto...".
Said boy flinched. "Y-yes, S-Sasuke?".
Sasuke grinned evilly, making the blonde shrink...and he held up...
A...
MAID OUTFIT!
(dun dun duuuuunnnn!)
Okay, so this brings us to the current day. With Naruto in a maid's dress, and Sasuke smirking beside the blond they, yet again made their way to the Student Council Office...
The school was already in a hew-bub since the festival was coming up in just two weeks! It was just after school, but the various different students of different clubs already scattered to mail their own preparations, and so did Sasuke and Naruto.
When they came to the Student Council Office, Naruto slammed the papers down on the desk, glaring at the raven."And how do you plan on finishing ALL of these in 2 weeks, teme?". Naruto said, placing his hands on his hips, and still glaring down on the now seated teme.
"Hn, were gonna pull out an all nighter dobe...".
"WH-WHAT?", Naruto said, eyes beginning to widen and face beginning to blush.
Sasuke glared at him, seeming to know what the blonde was thinking of. "I'm not some kinda kinky pervert dobe...and that kiss was nothing but a fluke...just forget about it...".
Naruto's face lost the blush, but hid his face from the raven when he noticed his face sagging. He was really disappointed... That was his first kiss, and the raven made it into nothing but a simple fluke... Then he furrowed his brows and got to work.
Sasuke was surprised. He didn't expect the blonde to be so cooperative. After what he said, Naruto just sat down and worked quietly the whole night. It was an understatement if Sasuke was to say that he was uncomfortable...because he was EXTREMELY uncomfortable... The whole freaking world seemed to go silent! Was it something he said?
After a few more hours of intense silence..."Damn it...". Sasuke was already scribbling nonsense in the paperwork. He seriously can't concentrate anymore, and his eyes were already blurring... A few more minutes, and Sasuke fell to sleep.
Naruto was just soooo pissed off, and he didn't know why! He was beginning to think that the kiss didn't really count since Sasuke was a GUY, but it was still a kiss...NO! He will not succumb to this! But still...he was never able to open his mouth, nor lift his head to face the raven...all he could do was work...and work is all he did.
It was close to midnight, and Naruto was still at it, refusing to even give Sasuke a sidewards glance despite the oozing anxiety that was dripping off the raven. He shifted a little in his seat. Damn...this thing's getting a little uncomfortable now... Yes, Naruto was still in the maid's outfit that time. His pride didn't allow him to talk to the raven, since he himself was a little confused...well a lot actually...Damn pride!
He slowly turned to the raven. "Y-you know, Sasuke-". He lifted his gaze. Sasuke was leaning in on the table, supporting himself upward by leaning half of his arm on the wall. Naruto arched an eyebrow. He stood from his seat and walked over to the raven, arching up a blond brow. "Hey Sasuke...". No response. The blond puffed his cheeks and started to shake the raven. "Oi...Sasukeee! I want out of this dress...it's getting late and-", he stated a little louder. He jumped of his skin when the raven suddenly plummeted to his desk.
Naruto blinked. Sasuke's asleep?
Oh...Sasuke's asleep...wait! What?
Sasuke's ASLEEP?
SASUKES ASLEEP!, Naruto repeated to himself in his head, fuming inwardly. He lifted his arm. H- how dare this little... He was about to land the punch when Sasuke suddenly steered in his sleep, shocking the blonde. Naruto sighed and looked down upon the sleeping raven...
He sighed again and dropped his hand, then squatted over the table and folded both his arms in the table and rested his head at the edge. He looked at Sasuke's sleeping face, and flushed a little. He poked the little white flesh that peeked out shyly from the raven's face. "...a fluke huh...", he muttered. He observed the raven's face - it was a little paler than the usual, and it seemed like Sasuke acquired an unhealthy amount of bags... No wonder he was now dead asleep. Naruto was a hundred percent sure Sasuke pulled out all nighters to finish their bet. Naruto scoffed. Persistent bastard...
Naruto just felt so annoyed. Why did the raven go through such lengths? Well he did prove himself...and honestly, even Naruto was amazed at the raven - though he'll never admit that out loud. Naruto flushed again. He couldn't believe Sasuke went all through that trouble... But he still didn't make him answer any of the raven's questions...instead, he made me wear a ridiculous maid's outfit! But still... Naruto smiled lightly. He was glad...that he at least knew he could trust Sasuke...and it seems like Sasuke trusted him as well...! But...he want through all the trouble and yet... Naruto puffed his cheeks a little, feeling guilt run over him. He was the one who made the bet, and yet Sasuke still spared him... Ughhh! Naruto didn't know what to feel anymore! He was just so confused! But then he decided.
With a powerful fist pump, and fire starting to burn in his eyes, he turned to the paper work on Sasukes' desk. He want back to his seat, and started to scribble down furiously.
He didn't notice a pair of brown eyes staring at them for the whole time. Iruka pulled out his cellphone and pushed some buttons which set the phone automatically on speed dial.
"Hello, yes, Fire University at Konohagakure...". Iruka sighed. "Yeah, it's about Naruto...".
The next day, Sasuke woke up with a thumping back ache. Okay, sleeping in a chair was not good for him. He stretched and stretched the back of his head, his vision still a little hazy from sleep. He stared down at the paper in front of him. SHIT! I fell asleep! Sasuke frantically tried to work again, but when he looked down at the stacks of paper...they were all finished. Utterly confused, he furrowed his brows.
"If you're gonna do some of your 'business', the bathroom's just at the end of the hall...". Sasuke snapped his head at the source of the voice. There, in the doorway, stood the blonde, already out of the maid's outfit, and now wearing a baggy oversize shirt, and baggy over sized pants. Seriously, where did the dobe get his clothes? At the ultimate shop for the obese?
Sasuke craned his neck back to the papers at question. What happened last night? Surely the blonde didn't... Sasuke froze. No, the blonde couldn't...have... The chances of the tooth fairy coming in last night and doing me this favor had a bigger chance of happening... Or better yet, Santa is sending me an omen that this would be an advanced gift for Christmas and I won't get any more this coming end of the year!
Naruto snorted. The raven stared at those papers like it had a head or something...no like it had two heads! Naruto sighed.
"Stop it teme...I don't want you to be shitting here in front of me...cuz' you kinda look like you're constipated...and I can tell by the looks of it, that it's a big one...". Naruto opened a can of coke, and chugged it down as the raven glared at him.
"dobe...you're the idiot who couldn't tell the difference between a book that has the title "Mass Murder" from "Unicorn Palace"...but DID you do all these?".
Naruto scowled, completely offended. "God no! It was Charlie Chaplin! He came by last night and did it all! Oh, and he asked me to tell you that he wants his chain back...I think he said something about you shoving it up your ass", he said sarcastically.
Sasuke blinked and Naruto smirked in triumph. "Why did you do it...?".
Naruto jolted at that one blunt question. "H-huh?".
"You heard me, dobe...why did you do it?".
Okay, Naruto didn't expect that; normally, people would ask HOW they managed to do a whole month report in one night, the first they see it...not WHY! Naruto gulped down a lump in his throat, hoping that it could also clear out his mind or something. "B-because...", 'Shit! I couldn't tell teme that it was because I felt guilty about the bet!' "B- because I'm not an ass like you!". Shit! That didn't come out right... Sasuke raised an eyebrow in question, funnily not comprehending the blonde's words.
"C-cuz...I DON'T DO STUFF THAT ARE FLUKEY!". Fuck! What am I saying? That didn't even make sense! And what the hell's 'FLUKEY'? That's not even a word...god damn it!
Sasuke stared at the blonde like he was speaking another language... and then the obsidian eyes widened a fraction. "Hn, what are you getting so mad about, dobe...", Sasuke paused for a second, eyes widening in question, "W-wait! Is...is this about the kiss?".
Naruto turned beet red. Crap...what now? His eyes fidgeted until it landed on the door. 'Run!' And with that thought, he dashed for the door, completely leaving the dumbfounded Uchiha hanging.
The past 2 weeks, Naruto avoided Sasuke like a plague. Constantly hiding from the raven...he didn't even know why! He could just have said no to the raven when he asked if it was about the kiss... And with that thought, Naruto turned beet red again. He didn't even understand himself this past few days... Why was he acting like some insecure little girl? Damn that teme! Damn that teme to hell!
Naruto continued his soul searching, until the day of the festival came. Naruto decided to confront the raven himself and get things straight! He was dead on determined to do just that, but when he saw the raven, he bolted on reflex. And for most of the festival, this is what he did..
...until a certain trio came to town...
"Huff, huff!".
It was precisely the last day of the festival, and Naruto had been running non stop for the whole day! The last day of the festival was the only time Sasuke had a time off his duties to enjoy the festival...and he's been spending almost all of his time finding him! And how did he know this you ask? Well, it's because it turns out that Sasuke was a pretty good tracker, and wherever he might try to hide, Sasuke quickly follows suit; it was honestly mind-bugling how the Uchiha heir could ever do that, but who cares! Naruto was dead tired of running away!
When he caught his breath, he stepped out of the supply closet he was currently hiding in, only to be stopped by hitting something hard. He fell to the ground, butt first. 'Owww...who put that wall there?' He slowly lifted his gaze, to find a mask clad, silver haired man. Oh crap...!
"My, my Naruto, what ever could you be doing down there?". The silver haired man was smiling..well at least Naruto thought he was, since his 1 visible eye turned into an upside down 'U'.
"ERR...hiya Kakashi...". Naruto shifted his gaze, and there he found Kakashis' two companions - a brown haired girl who was smiling sympathetically at him, and a fuming raven haired male that had swimming goggles on, glaring at him... And if you thought that raven haired dude was upset, you can just taste the venom in Kakashis' voice when he greeted Naruto, totally contradicting his facial expression.
Naruto gulped a big lump in his throat, and started ti sweat.
Oh no...but how could they have found out where I was...IRUKA! Damn him! Now his school life was OVER! And just when he was about to make a mad dash for it in a futile attempt of freedom, he yet again smashed into something hard. Damn these moving walls! Again on the ground, he stared up until the person he bumped into, only to face an also incredibly pissed off raven.
Naruto jumped up to his feet. "Sasuke! No time to explain!". He grabbed the raven's shoulders and was about to run for it again, until he was stopped when the raven froze.
"S-sasuke?".
"U-uncle Obito? Aunt Rin?".
Everyone stood in silence...
"WHAAAAAAAT?".
