Blind Sighted

Chapter 1: Light and Death

"Our dreams burst forth in light and death. Hold me and tell me we'll burn like stars. We'll burn as we fall."

- AFI, Kiss and Control

--

Sasuke remembered the boy with brilliant blues and that tangled blonde mess of hair. In fact, he thought about him often. In middle school Naruto Uzumaki was loud and vibrant- everything Sasuke wasn't. He annoyed him, he intrigued him, but Sasuke never let himself get too close.

And he regretted it.

Not at first. His parents' divorce had distracted him for quite some time, and learning about his secondary gender followed soon after that. Strangely enough, it was his mother passing away that had brought Naruto back to the forefront of his mind. Maybe it was because his dazzling smile reminded him of her kindness. Maybe it was the things she had taught him in her final days..

Whatever it was, Naruto had unknowingly pulled him back in.

As soon as he moved back in with his father, Sasuke used every resource he could to find him. He would make sure the blonde chalked up their sudden reunion to a mere coincidence, but it was definitely anything but. Sasuke flat out refused to be transferred to any other high school aside from the one Naruto was enrolled in, and he did everything in his power to ensure it. Luckily, the one Naruto was going to catered to many of the elite in Konoha so his father didn't oppose it. Based off of the limited information the school records had on Naruto, he wasn't one of them. Some sort of reach-out program brought in a handful of kids from less than reputable neighborhoods, and apparently he had been one of the lucky ones.

Sasuke doubted that Naruto felt the same way. His last school had something like that, and those students were never treated kindly.

Though, the Naruto he remembered wasn't one to let something like that get to him. He was boisterous, his smile was charming, and his cheshire antics made him difficult to ignore. It wouldn't surprise Sasuke in the least to find the entire school flocking to him, eager to be a part of something so light and pure.

After all, he was here for the very same thing.

Sasuke knew it was him the moment he stepped in the classroom. His mop of honey locks and small tan frame was a dead giveaway. He would've liked to see more, but he kept his face buried in the crook of his arm- shielding everything else that was Naruto.

He was tempted to call his name. To watch the entire class stare at him in surprise as the one set of eyes he actually wanted to see looked up. But Sasuke Uchiha had never played the part of the fool before- he wasn't sure he could do it now.

Besides, it wasn't like he wanted the blonde. He was just curious about him. Naruto was different, and Sasuke was drawn to that. And he needed something different in his life, something to thaw the chunk of ice his chest had become. He had always been a bit of a lone wolf, even as a kid, but he felt so lost since his mother died. He wasn't reserved, he was empty. He wasn't broody and dark, he was trapped in a fucking void- drowning in an abyss he couldn't find his way out of on his own.

Naruto was the only person he could think of to help him. The only one bright enough to cut through his shadowy mind. The one who could show him how to crawl out of the hole he had managed to bury himself in.

He needed the boy he remembered.

It's been two years though, he reasoned with himself. People change.

Maybe Naruto too did.

It was definitely possible. Sasuke knew Naruto in middle school- a time of gangly growth spurts, unpredictable hormones, and creaky voices. Change really was the only constant in middle school. Except when it came to Naruto. He never seemed to get any taller, his voice never shattered, and he was just as silly and warm in eighth grade as he was in sixth.

He knew it was not very likely that he was the same in tenth grade too, but it didn't stop him from getting his hopes up.

Sasuke walked over to the person standing at the front of the room, forcing himself to look at the teacher instead of the blonde. The man had a relatively small stature. His long chestnut hair was tied back, and there was a prominent scar across the bridge of his nose among a handful of freckles. He had kind eyes, and a soft voice as he addressed him. An omega, through and through.

"Welcome, Sasuke. My name is Iruka-sensei."

Sasuke muttered a hello far from the friendly one he had been given, but Iruka didn't seem to mind. He turned his attention back to the class and introduced their newest student with a smile. Sasuke briefly looked at the hoard of students, noting the awed faces and pouty lipped Omegas already hoping to snag his attention. He gave them a cold apathetic look before turning his eyes back to the only head still down on his desk. Naruto either didn't hear Iruka or was choosing to feign disinterest. Sasuke wondered which one he'd find when he finally got the chance to approach him.

He didn't have to wait long.

"Alright, Sasuke, let's have you sit in the back by Naruto." His walnut gaze slipped to the seemingly incapacitated blonde. "Oi! Naruto!"

Unresponsive.

The weary teacher gave an exasperated sigh, probably one of many, and sent Sasuke off.

He wasn't surprised that they were paired together. Uchiha, Uzumaki- there usually weren't a ton of last names that started with a 'U'. He was grateful that there's did.

Sasuke dropped his bag by his new desk, ignored the hawk-eyed omegas who had yet to take the hint, and did his best to casually look down at his desk mate. Unfortunately his face was turned away from him, leaving nothing but a pile of blonde hair to look at.

It looks soft, he thought to himself. The thought surprised him, and he quickly cleared his mind to cancel out the others that might follow.

A breeze shoved through the open window and teased Naruto's mane, just enough to tickle his nose and piss him off. He grumbled in his sleep and turned his face away from it, completely unaware of the pleased raven beside him. His face was still mostly obscured by his hair, but Sasuke could now make out the tip of his nose, faint scars on his cheek that he briefly wondered over, and his mouth. His lips were full, pouty in a natural way, and Sasuke found himself momentarily entranced by them.

He could faintly hear their teacher telling them to work on an assignment with their desk partners as he reached towards his own. He gently pushed back Naruto's hair to see his face when alarmed blue eyes suddenly shot open. Naruto grabbed his wrist and roughly pulled it back as he sat up fast.

Those cerulean eyes narrowed on Sasuke, and he found himself captivated all over again. He opened his mouth to speak, to say something to his startled desk mate, but was interrupted before he could. A guy with a shock of autumn hair, and nose piercings that the school would usually be reluctant to condone, dropped an arm over his shoulder. A friendly, unwelcome gesture. He shoved a false smile in Sasuke's face, the malice barely contained behind his teeth.

An alpha, Sasuke thought. One who isn't used to competition.

Naruto noticeably stiffened and Sasuke narrowed his eyes, wondering over it. He slid his attention back to their unwanted guest and found a few eager omegas already joining them.

Great..

A girl with Pepto Bismol hair gave him a smile as she tucked a strand behind her ear. "Hey, your name is Sasuke right? That's such a good-"

Naruto jerked his head over to the raven. "Sasuke" he repeated. "Sasuke Uchiha?"

He met the blonde's surprised gaze, curious over his reaction. "You remember me, then."

Naruto seemed surprised that he was remembered as well.

The auburn-haired alpha gave Sasuke a knowing smirk. "Ahhh, so you already know each other. You hear that, guys?"

He turned his grin to the blonde. "Guess you know how to be a good little omega after all."

Naruto shot to his feet, eyes blazing with rage. "I'm not a fucking omega!"

The grin tightened. "Then why are you so tight with a dominant alpha?"

Naruto froze. Those huge blues darted over to Sasuke, who had been watching him carefully this entire time. The look felt more threatening now that he knew what he was. More.. predatory.

"You're a dominant..?" he breathed.

Sasuke noticed the fear and was surprised by it. "Does that bother you?"

Naruto took a staggering step back, hit the wall, and panicked. He tried to break away from the group but Sasuke threw his arm out, barring his escape route.

"Naruto-"

The blonde flinched.

More alphas were starting to notice, and their teacher was nowhere to be found. He didn't need this kind of attention from any of them, but especially not from a dominant. It didn't matter that he knew him, had known him. All that mattered was what he was.

Naruto couldn't let an alpha get close to him.

Not again.

"Stay away from me" he ground out.

Then he shoved past him and ran from the room, ignoring the taunting from the amused alphas and the jealous glares from the omegas. He raced through the halls desperate to get away from everything- is anger, his fear.. and from dark eyes that looked far sadder than he remembered.
