Sasuke walked to school tried. Usually it was because he stayed up all night gamming. But nooo, Itachi had taken away his computer privileges! Now he was staying up BECAUSE he had no gamming. How unfair was that?
When he got to class he noticed right away he wasn't the only miserable human being on the planet.
"Um, should I ask?"
Naruto slammed his books on Sasuke's desk along with some papers.
"I normally have better things to do then homework so I don't bother since I'm failing anyways." He then glared at the books. "But now I can't do said things, I have nothing better to do BUT work."
Sasuke looked over the papers and his eyes widened. Naruto had actually started a rough draft.
"Wow you sure know a lot on these old gamming systems."
"Well, yeah, I grew up with them." He then flopped a seat next to him leaning back and resting his feet on the desk. "But times have changed and now every god damn thing is expensive."
"Hm." He looked at the paper again. It wasn't actually all that bad. There was some good facts and strong points…but his grammar was atrocious.
"Not a bad start really."
Naruto rolled his eyes and Sasuke twitched.
"Hey, baka, I was giving you a complement."
Naruto gave a fake gasp.
"Oh your right!" he rested his hand on his forehead giving a swooning like effect to accent his acting. "I should feel so HONORED to receive such a gift! I should gravel on the ground and kiss your feet!"
Sasuke smirked.
"That's better."
"…Bastard."
The teacher finally came in, late as usual and explained that today they were going to the library to continue research until the end of the week. Sasuke groaned. What a complete waste of time. The class left and Sasuke ended up following Naruto to the computers to the far back. Sasuke was typing away on his computer hard at work, until he heard Naruto make a grunting sound. Sasuke then glanced over and noticed right away Naruto was far from actually doing research.
"I'm sure this game is the key to the report." Sasuke spewed with sarcasm.
"Why, it very well could."
His Mario got hit with a barrel and the screen showed a game over. Naruto pouted in his seat.
"Damn impossible level."
"I doubt it's impossible."
"No, it literally is." Naruto then pulled up another page about the game. "It's pretty famous. It's said that no one can actually beat it."
Sasuke scrolled down the webpage. It really was some famous game. But it originated in an arcade game, not a hand held device.
"Nice try, but we need to focus on the subject at hand."
Naruto then smirked.
"So if I played a game that came from a hand held device, you'd be okay if I played it during our 'study time'."
"Dope that was not what I was implying at all. Sides, you can't do that. Only hand held games can play hand held games."
Naruto's smirk grew even wider.
"Challenge excepted."
"…Sasuke, Naruto? What are you doing?"
They both looked up to see Kakashi looming over them. Naruto smiled.
"Research!"
He looked at them dully.
"Oh really?"
"Yep! We're doing a paper on games!"
"…" Kakashi smacked himself on the head. Well, he did say on ANY topic… "Just get back to work."
"Yes sir!" Naruto saluted before immediately going back to playing the game. Kakashi sighed. Way to leave it to Naruto to completely take away the point of a project…he then walked off to check up on the other students.
"I can't believe that's all he did." Sasuke was a bit surprised.
"You kidding? I'm surprised he put so much effort." Naruto commented. He then scooted the keyboard to Sasuke who was actually really close to him due to the fact that he had been watching Naruto inventively play games.
"Why don't you give it a shot, Mr. Popular."
"Are you EVER gonna stop calling me that?"
"Well, I guess I could always call you Teme."
How weird would it sound if he told the dope that he would actually prefer Teme?
"Whatever." He then took the controls. "Lets see what I've got."
"…"
"What?"
"Are you like a natural gammer our have you just not come out of the closet?"
Sasuke gulped but not in a very noticeable way.
"You make me sound like I'm a gay person when you put it like that."
"Hm, that too then I guess."
Sasuke twitched.
"Dope, do I look gay?"
"…"
"Dope."
"You don't want me to answer that…"
"Why you-!"
He then began choking him but Naruto was laughing his ass off. Even if this was violent, he sort of…liked this. Was he a machinist? Naruto decide to shrug the thought aside and bask in the joy of seeing the angry teme before him. Yeah, Teme…that really did seem to suit him better than ' '.
