I lifted my head and I saw those incredibly beautiful, blue eyes.
The light coming from the street lamp on the left side was lightning his face. I just noticed the slightly visible scars that he had on his cheeks.
I mean - I did see "something" on his face at school, but I thought that it was some dirt or a make-up made for "fun".
I have to admit that those scars...only made him more appealing.
-What? - I growled at him when I stopped checking him out and came to my senses.
Naruto put his hands behind his head, he straighten his back and smiled widely, he tried to hide the awkwardness that he felt from the current situation.
-Nothing, I just came to greet you and ask "how are you?".- he said with a smile.
-How am I? Same as this morning at school.- I said as if it didn't matter.
-Well...you could be right...but at school you weren't too talk active...- he said and lowered his head, he felt sad.
-And I don't think I ever will be.
The boy looked at me.
How's your arm?- he asked.
He surprised me.
Does he care about me?
-Fine,thanks.- I said while turning my head in opposite direction, in order to avoid eye contact.
We stood like this without saying anything for a bit.
Suddenly I felt his body getting closer to mine.
-How about your thigh...? He whispered to my ear, it's as if he felt that I don't want anyone to hear about it.
I wanted to say something like "move away from me" or "get lost" , but suddenly I felt him touch my thigh with his fingertips. My body stiffened.
Under the impulse <surely caused by his touch..> I turned my head in his direction, and our faces were only few inches apart.
I could feel his breath on my lips, and his fingertips moving around on my thigh.
It made me go crazy and I couldn't focus on anything.
I tried to act normal but I couldn't stop my body from trembling.
Naruto noticed that, and he put his hand away. He took few steps backwards.
-I'm sorry, I didn't want to hurt you...
I felt relieved.
Luckily he haven't noticed anything...
-Ok- I said, and went back to my "poker face", taking back full control of my body, what was fucking hard around him.
***
Narration : Naruto
I sat with Akinori and Hikaru on the bench by the swings.
I was bored at home, and sms from Hikaru telling me to come in front of my house, was like like a blessing to me.
We talked about football match - Japan VS Germany - When we suddenly heard Kiba's voice.
I looked in his direction and I noticed that he wasn't alone, Sasuke was with him...
I immediately recalled the situation at school.
Why did he treat me like that?
I don't remember ever insulting him...
I saw him at the park for the first time, then here..then at school.
What did I do wrong?
When I met him for the first time, he was already behaving like that.
Did I hurt him somehow?
But how?
Maybe because, at the park I didn't say anything to him?
Or maybe the fact that during first day at school, I didn't even say "hi"?
I saw Kiba going somewhere and leaving Sasuke alone.
This is my chance! I will ask him what's the matter.
-Sorry, I will be back soon.- I said that to the guys and they nodded. I got off the bench and I headed in his direction.
I have to admit that the closer I was the more doubts I had, and I wanted to run away since he haven't noticed me yet but I pulled myself together.
When I was in front of him my throat felt dry.
-Sasuke...- I managed to say his name.
The boy lifted his head and we looked each other in the eyes.
I have to admit that Sasuke was...hot.
His beautiful onyx eyes highlighted his long and thick eyelashes, and the strands of his hair were creating a perfect contrast with his pale skin.
I never saw such a guy before. It's as if someone drew him - perfect in every way.
-What?- he suddenly growled at me.
When I heard that all determination left me, it just evaporated and I didn't know what to say. This situation was very embarrassing...
-Nothing, I just came to greet you and ask "how are you"? - I said troubled, while putting my hands behind my head, and widely smiling.
...Like an idiot.
-How am I? Same as at school.- he said bluntly
Damn I totally failed...
-You could be right...but at school you weren't too talk active...- I said while lowering my head.
-And I don't I ever will ever be.- he said.
I was wondering what to say, when I suddenly remembered about his wound on his arm.
-How's your arm? - I asked. Sasuke looked at me surprised.
-Fine,thanks...-he replied with a calmer tone and he turned his head around.
I couldn't drag this topic much longer, but there was one more thing that concerned me.
I got closer to him, so that no one would hear me, and I touched his thigh.
-What about the thigh?- I whispered to his ear.
For a moment I had a feeling that he will punch me right in the face, but he looked at me with a strange expression and his body began to tremble. I just realised that I was still touching his thigh, and his wound probably haven't healed up yet.
-I'm sorry I didn't want to cause you pain...- I said and I moved my hand away, and I took few steps back.
-It's ok.- he said and his face went back to "normal".
-What happened to you anyway? - I asked.
-Does it matter?- he whispered, and he went back to rolling the stones with his foot.
-It matters to me.- I said with confident voice and he looked at me with confused face.
I just realised how it must had sounded.
-I mean...you know,ermm..I... I'm asking from...curiosity.- I said troubled.
-Curiosity is the first step to hell.- he said and his face was close to mine. I saw a huge confidence in him.
It wasn't the same Sasuke any more, who I saw in the park for the first time.
He kept getting closer to me, and I kept backing off. I took step back, and he took step forward.
I don't know why, but I was mainly focused on his lips.
Sasuke took control over the situation.
And this time I was trembling.
-Are you afraid of me...?- he said quietly, I felt his warm breath on my lips, he twisted his head a bit as if he wanted to kiss me.
Our faces were separated by like 3 centimetres.
I felt a shiver on my spine. My arms trembled.
Sasuke smiled with satisfaction.
-So you're afraid after all.- he laughed, he took few steps backward, turned around and he went back to the tree.
I stood without moving an inch, because I didn't quite understand what had just happened.
-Why are you still standing there? Go away.- he said.
I looked at him angrily.
-Aren't you going overboard? I'm in front of my HOME and I can do here whatever I want.
-Sorry then, I will go elsewhere, I won't stand in front of your HOME.- he said and he began to leave, I felt an impulse to grab his hand to stop him from leaving.
-Wait.
Sasuke looked over his arm.
-What for? - he asked.
***
Narration: Sasuke
I was about to leave, when suddenly Naruto grabbed my hand.
-Wait.- he said calmly and I felt shivers coming through my spine caused by his touch.
-What for?- I responded fast.
Naruto looked at me, and pulled me towards him. I ended up in his arms, with one hand on his chest, and another hand was grabbing his.
I didn't expect things to go this way.
-Take care.- he said and he used his other hand to touch my cheek.
When I heard that, my eyes opened wider.
I slightly opened my mouth.
My heart was beating like crazy. I felt like my heart will jump out of my chest.
I knew that Naruto wanted to say something, but we heard Kiba's voice.
-Hey, faggots stop being dirty in the middle of the street.- he said with serious face.
We jumped away from each other straight away.
-Stop saying bullshit.- I said coldly, and he laughed.
- I'm just joking, jeez, relax guys.- he said and gave me the coke.- and by the way hi Naru.- he said and as a greeting they fist bumped - who are you sitting with? - he asked and took a sip of coke.
-With Akinori and Hiharu. We were talking about the yesterday's match...-said Naruto, and even when he spoke to Kiba he kept looking at me.
- "Match"? It was pathetic! Passings were horrible, I don't know what they are doing during their training. I fell asleep in the middle! - he shared his opinion. -Hey Sasu, come on, let's talk to them. I don't think you know Hikaru, right? - he suggested, while walking away with Naruto.
-Sorry, but I have to go.- I said.
-Why? - asked Kiba.
-You know...when you were in a shop I got a message from my father, he told me to go back.- I told a first lie that came to my head.
-Ahhh,OK. Will you come to school with me tomorrow?
-I will. Cya. - I said while turning around and rushing towards my home.
-Bye...- I heard surprised voice of Kiba behind my back.
As I walked away I felt that Naruto was looking at me.
***
-I'm back! - I said, while coming inside.
-Welcome home, son! - I heard my mom's voice. - Where have you been for so long? - she asked while hugging me with concern.
-Around the area.- I said.
-Alone? In the dark? - she asked surprised.
-No, not alone. With friends. Anyway I'm not a little child, mom.
-Oh I'm sorry, my big man,- she said while smiling and she patted my head.- Sit down and tell me about your school and your friends.-she said while walking to the living room. I fallowed her and we sat down. Mom gave me some tea.
-In school everything is fine. And my classmates live close by. And where's father and Itachi?- I asked.
-They went out not long ago to the shop, they should be back soon. How are your friends called?
-Kiba, Shino, Choji, Naruto...- I almost whispered the last name.
-Have you got pretty girls in your class?- asked mom and I choked on my tea.
-Mom...- I got red and lowered my head.
-Don't be embarrased! Mother should know such things.- she said while giggling.- Ah by the way, a very beautiful girl was looking for you.
-Me? What girl? - I was surprised.
-Hinata-chan.
-Ahhh...did she say something?- I asked while taking a sip of tea.
-Do you like her?
-I do. She's kind. She helped me to buy stuff for school and she's in my class.
-That's good. She only told me to tell you, that she came. She said and I nodded. - I'm glad that you found friends so fast.- she said with a smile.- what about the teachers?
-Tutor is fine. The rest of the teachers too.
In that moment we heard the doors open.
-We're back!- I heard Itachi's cheerful voice.
-Welcome home guys.- my mom said with a smile.
-Brother!- he shouted and he threw himself on my neck.- how was the school? Have you got nice girls?- he asked while laughing.
I looked at his fake smile.
-Yes...there are.- I said with a poker face.
I didn't feel good in his arms...not any more...
-That's awesome then.- he said with a smile.
He kissed my cheek, while smiling to my mom, and she smiled back to him.
Master of fake smile...
Itachi went to this father, and helped him to unpack the groceries.
-I'm going upstairs.- I said
-You're not hungry? I bought your favourite dango.-asked Itachi while standing in the kitchen.
-I'm not hungry. - I said while going upstairs.
***
I took quick shower, I got everything ready for school tomorrow and I decided to ask Hinata why she came over before.
I wrote a message to her.
S: "You came over today to my house...Did something happen?"
H: "No, no. I only wanted to ask how was your day at school, since we haven't had a chance to talk properly."
That's true. Hinata spent every break on school council meetings.
S: "Ah OK, thanks. Won't they tire you with all those meetings?"
H: "I hope not...and where have you been for the entire day anyway?"
S : "Haha, my supervisor. With Kiba and the boys, mummy"
H : "Very funny. Hey, is that true that you fought with Naru??"
S : "I did what? Sorry, but I haven't even properly talked to him."
H : "Yea I heard that...so?"
S : "Sorry but I haven't got much money left on my phone...let's talk tomorrow at school. Bye"
H : "Oh ok Sasuke...bye bye"
I lied.
I just didn't feel like talking about it today.
I stretched and I lay on bed comfortably, listening to the silence in my room.
Suddenly I recalled Naruto, who wrote his number in my phone.
I knew that he didn't know my number.
I grabbed my phone and I looked through the contact list.
I will give him a ring.
I kept looking till I saw...
" Naru ;* " . . .
I don't know why , but I smiled to myself.
I pressed the green icon and I put the phone to my ear.
Beep...beep...
I dropped the call. The reply was instant.
N : "Who's that?? :)"
S : "Santa Clause. You will get a bike and chocolate under your Christmas tree."
N : "Sasuke, since when are you a Santa Clause?? ^^ "
S : "Damn. You figured out fast. Interesting...In real like you don't look so intelligent"
N : "Sasuke-caustic like always ;* "
S : "How do you know how I behave "always" ? "
N : "If you will let me, then I will gladly discover what kind of person you are ;* "
S : "I will think about it. Anyway why do you keep using the kissing emoticon ?
N : "I like it. Don't you??"
S : "I don't think I do. And the way you saved your number on my phone...If someone saw that they would think we are going out."
N : " :D "
Yeaaa, very intelligent.
I put the phone away next to my bed on the cabinet. I walked up to the window.
I opened it. I took the pillow and I comfortably sat on the windowsill.
In the houses in front of me, the lights were still on in some rooms.
All the street lamps were on.
I looked in front of me.
In the distance I could see high buildings in the centre of Tokyo.
It must be lively there, till a very late hour. Here at night only sometimes a car would pass by, or a dog would bark.
And that was beautiful...
***
I sat for about 2 hours, while smoking the cigarette, and thinking about what has happened today.
How almost a car hit me, how I met Shino, Choji, Neji, Ino, Sai, twins T&T <Tayuya and Temari>, how we made plans for Saturday. The time with the guys and the strawberry milk, getting to know about the school elite, meeting Naruto...
Yes, I can count this day as one of the better ones.
But only one thing bothers me...
I'm sorry Kiba, but I can't tell you the truth.
I can't tell you that I treated Naruto that way because...I couldn't otherwise.
I can't tell you that I was wearing my poker face mask when mistreating Naruto which I worked hard to master.
I can't tell you that I hurt Naruto on purpose, to make him avoid me.
I wanted to make him hate me, as much as possible, because I wouldn't be able to keep contact with him.
I'm sorry Kiba, I can't tell you that I have feelings towards that boy...
