How Orphan Boys Play

Chapter 11

The bang and clang of
the old bell signalled the end of the day for Konoha Junior High. A
good few hundred, hyped up teens ploughed their way through the halls
and left scattered bits of paper and trash as the escaped through the
only main door in the entire building. On days when Sai had classes
that weren't shared with Naruto and Gaara, he'd wait until the hustle
subsided before even leaving the classroom. He'd spend those mad
minutes that made up the end of the day clearing things way, take his
time to his books away or sometimes just sit and wait until things
got quiet.

It’s
not like anyone noticed anyway. Even the teachers would dash out the
class and Sai was in no rush to meet anyone or do anything that
quickly. Both Naruto and Gaara had clubs; the blonde was kept busy
with sports and the occasional detention duties while Gaara had a
book swap group. There weren’t any art clubs. There was only
one art teacher who, despite being fully dedicated to his job, was
too over worked to put in the extra unpaid hours for a club. Most
days out of the week, Sai walked home alone.

The
hallways were eerie but peaceful when no one was around. No squealing
girls. No moany attention seekers clinging to arms of idiots who kept
giving them the attention they wanted. No burly brutes throwing their
weight around to compensate for their lack of wit in their tongue.
So, when Sai hear stomping steps coming toward him, the noise boomed
from wall to wall as if warning the little ebony of an imminent
danger. Sai had almost sussed where it was coming from when he was
grabbed from behind by the shoulders, flipped around and slammed into
his locker. His ebony head left a ricochet bump but the loud bang of
metal being crushed under a punch made him freeze instantly.

“Look,
don’t freak out okay?”

“You
don’t make that easy, Sasuke”

“Just
shut up and listen” Sai didn’t have much choice. He was
pretty sure that locker was stronger than him and you could
practically see the shape of the Uchiha’s fist in it now.
Naruto had always taught Sai how to stick up for himself and it had a
handful of times when they were smaller but, this guy.....that look
in Sasuke’s eyes never failed to make Sasuke’s legs
shake. However, something about the way Sasuke was standing looked
oddly withdrawn; while one hand was still set against the locker next
to Sai’s head, doing its best to shake Sai up, the other was
tucked away into a deep pocket. The taller ebony was hunched over
slightly, his head turned away to stare down an empty hallway. “I’m
sorry alright. I was talking to by Brother and even though he talks
bullshit most of the time.....fucking smart-ass. I’m just sorry
okay? I shouldn’t have hit you. You didn’t even do
anything wrong. I fucked up” That probably had to be the most
Sai had ever heard Sasuke speak in one go. If Gaara could hear how
much this guy swore, the red head would have a heart attack. Sasuke
leaned back, hiding both hands in his pockets and half his face
beneath the collar oh his shirt. Sai was only just noticing that
Sasuke’s clothes looked a little big for the young Uchiha.

“You’re
not used to apologising are you?” At least, that was the
impression Sai got. The smaller ebony could relate; before and even
after he became friends with Naruto and Gaara, Sai was never very
good around people. He used to have a bad habit of saying weird or
rude things to people. He didn’t really care if it made them
mad. Idiots should be pointed out for the idiotic things they say and
do. In his view he was being honest but it left him with few bruises
from bigger kids. As a result, Sai learned from a very young age that
it was better to keep your mouth shut. Sasuke seemed to bring out the
inner voice in Sai though.

“Never
really had to. Not even to my old man. Look can we.....keep hanging
out?” This time, Sasuke was the one to look up and half
flinched at the dead-like stare looking back. It was like Sai had
slipped on some kind of cold mask. For a second Sasuke thought Sai
was going to spit on him or something.

“Sure.
I’ve got nothing better to do”

It was
almost like nothing had ever happened. The dark haired pair were
perched on their branch, silent as ever with nothing out of the
ordinary. Except for one odd thing; Sasuke was sitting particularly
close to Sai for some reason, enough to look over the smaller ebony’s
shoulder and clearly see what he was sketching. Neither of them said
anything about the change. Sasuke had most likely said everything he
wanted to for the next month anyway.

"I
saw you kissing that blonde kid from our home-room class” The
pencil in Sai’s hand snapped in half and his eyes twitched
erratically. The Uchiha hadn’t taken his own eyes off the
sketching paper that now had a huge black line across the drawing
that Sai had been working on. Sai tried to say something but forgot
how to move his mouth, let alone form words with it. “You hear
me”. Sasuke was oddly calm. How was he to freak out so easily
over the small stuff but this he keeps a cool face? Uchiha’s
are weird. “You’ve ruined your drawing” Sai
suddenly felt shaky. Sasuke had seen him kiss Naruto, a boy! The
smaller ebony wasn’t sure if his friends were aware but, Sai
knew full well that boys kissing is a BIG no no. If it was then his
male class mates would be talking about it like all the girls do.
They were always giggling over boys the liked and there were whispers
about girls who liked girls but no-one mentioned boys who
liked boys.

“I
won’t tell anyone” Oh? Well, that’s slightly
reliving in a way. Right? “Oh, on one condition though”.
Oh no. What did that mean? It’s going to be something like
stealing or punching Sasuke’s short but really strong looking
older Brother. No way! Sasuke’s imagination was far more
wicked than that but then, that could just be leftovers from Sai’s
imagination. “I wanna sit with you guys at lunch tomorrow”

Say
what?

“That’s
it?” Sai croaked. He knew he shouldn’t have asked
but-“Why?”

“My
Pain-in-the-ass Brother seems to thing I don’t have enough
friends. So, I might as well get to know whoever a friend with you
is. Deal?” Sai nodded so much his neck could have snapped off.
With all that said and done, the pair clicked back into place. Sasuke
even took up his classic cool-pose against the tree, leaving Sai to
doodle away in quiet anticipation.

Lee
was on his fiftieth hand-stand-push-up when Gaara staggered through
the door, dragged himself the living room and slumped heavily into
the thick, green cushions of the family couch. After ten more
push-ups, Lee switched arms.

“A
long day?” The bowl cut asked.

“A
Long week”

“Let
me finish this off and I’ll get the munchies”. It was a
little ritual the Brothers managed to perform at some point or
another without really noticing at first. The often found themselves
nibbling on stuff they could find in the cupboards whenever they had
to talk about stuff. Not every day stuff, otherwise Lee would be
working off a sugar gut. Instead, it was the annoying crap you just
need to get off your chest every now and then. Two weeks ago, Gaara
was Lee’s sentimental shoulder to cry on when the older Brother
had asked someone he liked out and got rejected. The green athlete
didn’t mention who but, Gaara was too clever to fool and Lee
was too simple to hide anything in a clever manner. Still, even Gaara
was surprised to hear Lee about trying to ask that pink haired girl
from his math class out. Although, Gaara had the slight feeling his
Brother didn’t ask in the traditional way most people ask a
person to go out with them.

Big
Gai wouldn’t be home until late tonight, he has a meeting to
attend to again, so the boys were free to talk as long as the needed.
They deeply care for the green giant but........he tends to over
exaggerate any situation even made Lee groan. Sometimes you just want
to moan for the sake of moaning.

“So
what’s up, Gaara?” Lee ripped open a pack of Oreos. “Did
something happen with Sai again? I thought you guys all made up?”
The red head took a handful of the black and white biscuits and
popped a whole one into his mouth before saying anything. There’s
nothing like good comfort food that’s bad for you.

“We did. We even found out why he was avoiding us. Plus, that
Sasuke Uchiha really knows how to stir things up”

“Woah!
Sasuke’s part of your little orgy now too?”

“I
don’t know what that means and I’m not asking.” Lee
just chuckled to himself and tussled his little Brother’s hair
up.

“I’m
sorry”, he laughed. “So, you found out why he was
avoiding you guys right?” Gaara took a little while to answer,
letting an Oreo just sit half way in/out of his mouth like he forgot
it was there.

“He
saw me and Naruto kissing and he got the idea in his head that we
were going to leave him out”.

“Then
what happened?”

“We
finally found him and I smacked the idiot out of him. But, it turns
out he made a new friend in our absence and you won’t believe
half of what happened this week.” Lee handed over the
remaining half packet, indicating that they had all night and he was
here to hear it all. Gaara still couldn’t believe most of what
went on. Most of it he was sure no one else knew was aware. I was
enough of a surprise to see that Sasuke guy looking though the
green-house. An even bigger surprise was to find Sai inviting Sasuke
over to their lunch table. It was weird to say the least; Sasuke was
the most popular kid in the whole school, despite his antisocial
attitude towards other people. So why was he sitting with the Weirdo
Trio? Needless to say it attracted a lot of attention from curious
eyes all over the cafeteria but Sasuke gave them all some kind of
look that Gaara couldn't see that made them all mind their own
business. Not a word passed between them. Even Naruto just chewed
away at his lunch. All the while though, both Sasuke and Naruto
never looked away from each other.

They each stared at one another
intently and Gaara was half convinced there sending each other death
threats telepathically. Out of the blue, a voice called out to Sai
from across the lunch hall. It was the art teacher, Mr Ibiki. He was
really big and had plenty of deep scars to show off but, once had a
paint brush In his hand, he was as soft as clay. As Sai stood up and
walked over, Gaara suddenly had a heavy, sinking feeling in gut, like
a tornado was about to hit and his body was trying to weigh itself
down. Naruto made the first move.

“What you up to,
Uchiha?”

“None of your
fucking business, Loser. Can't a guy sit where he wants for lunch in
your world?”

“Bull shit and
you know it”. Gaara attempted calling out to Sai using to his
own thoughts but didn't have much luck.

“Not as dumb as
he looks. Fine. I'll lay it out for ya then. You're gonna fuck it up
with him sooner or later and when that happens, his ass is mine.”
There was a savage look in Sasuke's eyes that really creeped Gaara
out but, it was Naruto's eyes that scared him more. He knew where
that look could lead. “He's happier being with me anyway. Even
a loser like you can see that” Gaara clutched Naruto's arm
desperately but it went unnoticed. “Like you
could make anyone happy”

Oh-no.
Naruto don't. Please calm down. He doesn't know what we all went
through. He's trying to get you mad on purpose. Please don't fall for
this!

“What
the fuck do you know?” Naruto growled. His whisker marks curled
as he snarled and Gaara could swear he saw the blonde's hair flare of
it's own accord.

“I
know he'll never let you get as close to him as I already have. Just
face it”, Sasuke pushed his arms against the table to lean a
little closer. A long sneer spread across the Uchiha's face. “He
loves me”

Lee
stayed very quite. He'd seen his little Brother stressed out before
and this wasn't the worst level it could reach but, he could see the
hurt in Gaara's eyes.

“If
Sasuke had said 'like' or 'he wants to be my friend' or something
like that, Naruto might not have flipped out so bad. I haven't seen
him that angry since....the bad days”. Gaara had mentioned
these 'bad days' before but the red head never went into further
detail.

“What
happened?” Lee asked cautiously.

“He....
let it out. He jumped right over the table and just...grabbed Sasuke
by the neck” It had been viscous and relentless. Sasuke had
probably seen it coming because he grabbed Naruto's wrist half way
down the fall and tossed the blonde right over his head and threw
Naruto over an adjacent table. Before chatter and curiosity could
even spread through the cafeteria, Naruto leapt back after wiping
food from his eyes and was on Sasuke in second. Uproar began. Swipe
after strike. Blow after kick. Some were cheering and goading the
pair on as they beat each other senseless. Two, looked on helplessly.

“Gaara,”
Lee spoke softly as he placed a hand on his little Brother's
shoulder, “you okay?” Lee wasn't sure if Gaara was aware
he was hugging his own knees. Lee had only seen Gaara do that after a
bad nightmare.

“That...that
son of a bitch planned the whole thing” Woah. This is really
bad.

The
pair of fighters had to be pried apart by teachers and didn't come
out of Head Master Sarutobi's office for a really long time. Gaara
doubted either Naruto or Sasuke said anything about why they were
fighting. When they were led out of the office door, the little red
head kept himself hidden around the corner. Sai appeared from down
the hall, he must have skipped class. Before Sai even reached the
pair, Sasuke was walking off; his hands in his pockets and face
unfazed by anything around him. However, Gaara was the only one to
notice that Sasuke didn't leave, he just hid himself near set a of
large lockers.

“He
couldn't see me, but I saw him and that fucking smile of his. He was
lovin' it, Lee. He knew Naruto would say something to hurt Sai. He
knew exactly how to fuck with their heads”

Gaara
prayed from his little hiding spot that Sasuke's plan wouldn't work
but he could already see the massive collision about to happen.

“Sai.....”,
Naruto huffed like was desperately trying to hold something back.
They were eye to eye with barely a blink between them. “Tell me
now. Who do you care about more, him or us?” No, Naruto don't.
Please. We nearly lost Sai already. Keep your cool.

“Why....why
would you think-?” Sai's brow quickly furrowed and he levelled
up against Naruto. “Fine” Oh-no. “That's how you
want to think, then fine”. Sai turned on his heel and bolted
straight out the swing doors. As the sound of the door frame
screeched against the floor, down the hall Little Gaara watched as
his beloved blonde friend broke down. He watched as Naruto bloodied
his knuckles by bashing them them into the stone floor and how
that......monster was holding his stomach as he held in the laugh.

“I
didn't know what to do, Lee. I know I should have told Sai what was
going on but we early lost his once already. He would have thought I
was spying on him, like I no longer trusted him.

“Gaara....”,
Lee sighed as he wrapped an arm around his little Brother and let
Gaara rest his head against Lee's shoulder.

“I
was really glad he made a new friend though”, Gaara mumbled.
“None of us could do that before. That's how we managed to
become friends because no-one else liked us. He made a real
friend”

But you did make real friends, Gaara. You love them and they love
you

“He's not talking to us again and, this time, it was out fault.
Sasuke took him from us because we let him”

“What's stopping you from getting him back then?” Gaara
suddenly looked up with bewildered and slightly watery eyes. Lee
briefly wandered if the dark rims around Gaara's eyes might smudge if
the red head started sobbing. “You heard me. Since when did you
and Naruto take a slap on the hand and sit in the corner?” Lee
stood up in one quick motion. His arms were folded across his chest
and he was facing away from Gaara slightly, as if looking into the
beyond.

“You've got passion got passion, Gaara. Every day since I met
I've seen you push yourself, as well as your friends, forward. Yet,
sometimes when you see someone who doesn't want to move ahead, you
force yourself to stay with them”. The elder Brother looked
over his shoulder, a conclusive look in his fish-like eyes. “You've
got to eb the one who keeps everyone on track, Gaara. There's a lot
of people who rely on someone like you. They need you love for them
to keep them going”

“My....love?”

“YES!” Lee declared as he struck the air with his fist.
In a second he clutched his little Brother's hand, yanked the red
head up from the floor and added a spin for good measure. “ We
love those who are most precious to us, even if we're not the most
important person to them. But you do have someone who loves you
dearly and really needs you now. Will you be there for them?”

“I'll always be there for them!” Gaara exclaimed before
even thinking. He even looked angered by the question.

“Even if you're no longer precious to them as much as you want
to be?” That, caught Gaara off guard but only for a second. He
took a step back, his invisible eyebrows met. Lee stepped aside and
watched a blur of red hair rush by him and out the door.

“I'm a little worried, “ Lee said to himself. “If
he ends up having sex before I do”.

Pythagoras can go to hell! Logic and mathematics never equate well
with arty kids and Sai's inky little world was struggling to fight
off the onslaught of calculations. All Sai's maths book had scribbled
on it were a few triangles, some badly attempted formulas and
probably ten doodles for each answer he scored out. Yamato was
useless at this stuff too. You'd think a guy who measures and
calculates on a regular basis would know something about this. The
plant man was baffled at the notion of mathematics using letter as
well as numbers. A few bangs of the head to the desk later and still
no answers.

“That's some study tactic you've go there”. Sai jerker
up. His open window, that looked over his desk had a guest leaning on
it's edge. Sai had a momentary image of a mortified Yamato if the man
could see Sasuke climbing up his prize wining wall roses.

“Why can't maths be easier?”

“Same reason why not everyone can draw”

“That's not the same thing, Now help me”, Sai growled as
he tossed a pencil at Sasuke, missed and it fell it out the window.

“What makes you think I'm any good?” Sai looked up from
his torn/doodled/crumpled homework sheet with an odd look on his
face. The Uchiha knew fine well what the little ebony meant. Sasuke
may not be the pride and joy of the family but, he was too far off
from a perfect academic record. However, that didn't exactly mean he
was any good at teaching. It'd be like trying to teach a frog how to
purr.

“Why are you climbing up the side of my house anyway?”
If Sai wasn't going to get any help with his homework, he might as
well talk about something more interesting. Sasuke looked over his
shoulder, his impassive face gazing across the wide yard that made up
Yamato colourful garden. He slowly looked back at Sai with a light
curl in his lips.

“I thought I'd try my hand at being romantic”. That curl
became a grin at the sight of a blush blooming over Sai's cheeks. The
Uchiha made a gesture, asking Sai to come closer. Those damn eyes.
They weren't the same from Sai's dream but, something about them were
just so alluring to the little ebony. Sai popped his head out of the
window, almost face to face with Sasuke when he realised the young
Uchiha's expression changed the closer the little ebony moved. There
was this quick flicker of nervousness and quivering gap between
Sasuke's lips. Sai just held his place, bent over on all fours on his
wooden desk. He wasn't going to do anything that Sasuke didn't want
him to do; not unless the little ebony wanted to be thrown out of a
window. A pale hand, that could probably knock Sai out in one blow
and hold him down like a weak kitten, reached out almost fearfully.
Another steadily followed until the Sai could feel his face being
held by sweaty palms. Maybe if Sai closed his eyes it would make this
easier for Sasuke. This wasn't like the dream at all. Sasuke seemed
more like...well Sasuke in Sai's dreams compared to now. The young
Uchiha reminded the little ebony of that really shy girl with the
blue hair from their English class.

Eventually, Sai could feel faint but rapid breaths near his lips. He
took a peek and saw Sasuke's eye were shut tight, his brow twitching
with trickles of sweat ready to run down his nose. Just before Sai
could relive the his dream induced fantasy, he woke Sasuke up. Sai
brought up his hand and covered Sasuke's mouth. The Uchiha hadn't let
go but his eyes widened dramatically. Despite the barrier over his
mouth, Sasuke jerked forward a fraction like he was about to protest
but faltered and turned away. Sai couldn't tell if Sasuke looked more
ashamed than embarrassed.

“But....”, Sasuke down at his knees, he seemed to be
searching for something. “Please. Just one, Sai. I need to know
if-”

“You're not gay” Sasuke visibly flinched at the last
word. It could have been a moment of instinctive rage but the Uchiha
raised his fist. However, Sai was quicker and caught Sasuke by the
nose, bringing him to eye level. “You're not gay”

“How do you know that?” Sasuke's voice came out in
humorous, nasal tone but Sai was in no mood to find it funny.

“Do you think about my penis?” The Uchiha nearly choked
and squirmed when he tried to pull away with his nose still trapped.
“Would you milk yourself with thoughts of me in your head? If I
took your shirt off and started licking you, would you like it?”
Sai could feel the volcanic heat radiating from Sasuke's reddening
face. The poor Uchiha never looked so helpless and probably felt
enough humiliation to last him ten life times. Sai let go and was
surprised to see Sasuke hadn't decided to jump right out the window
and run for dear life.

“You don't have to be gay to be my friend”

“.......but, that Naruto guy?” Sauke was cut short by a
peculiar look on Sai's face. He was smiling but it looked so out of
place as if it was a rare facial expression the smaller ebony was
quite sure how to use yet.

“We've loved each other for a long time”

“Oh. So, I really don't have to, you know, kiss you and-”,
the Uchiha grimaced as Sai's previous and graphic terms came back to
haunt him. “-stuff?” Sai shook his head, still smiling.

“Nope. But-”, Sai moved like a dart and landed a peck on
Sasuke's still crimson cheek. “I get to kiss you whenever I
want” Sasuke wiped at face viciously.

“Eeeeewwwwww, Gay germs!” Sai then slid back across his
desk and sat in his chair.

“Now, if you're not going to help me with this then go and ask
that girl you've been eyeing up since the start of the year.”
Sasuke didn't even bother to the let the embarrassment hit him
because he was happy enough to have an excuse to go but, he did leave
with a casual wave as he hurriedly climbed back down the wall roses.
Sai heard his friend land and waited a few minutes until he was sure
Sasuke had left. He then ripped a sheet of square-paper from his
maths notebook, scribbled something in it, folded it into a basic
paper-plane and aimed out the window into the garden where, he was
sure Gaara was hiding. Sasuke may have had too much on his mind to
notice but Sai could spot that red mop-head a mile away without even
trying.

It took longer than Sai would have liked but, eventually, Gaara
started climbing up the wall. Did none of his friends know how to use
a door? Gaara used to be really good at keeping a blank face just
like Sai but lately he'd lost his natural touch for the skill. Sai
took no notice of Gaara's shame and just help up his homework
assignment.

A couple of hours passed by with only Gaara speaking. Sai would just
nod whenever the Gaara asked if he understood the equation. Sai was
left handed and Gaara was right handed. Their free hands sat on the
edges of their own chairs with just a short space between each other.
The ebony closed his note book when the final problem was solved and
turned his head to Gaara with an unblinking stare. The little red
head tired to keep his cool but bit his lip out a nervous habit he'd
picked up somewhere. Sai quickly reached into his pocket, pulled out
his reliable black marker, clutched Gaara by the chin and pushed the
nib against his red headed friend's forehead. When Sai let go, Gaara
presses a palm to whatever mark the ebony left there. The ink residue
on his small hand was the outline of a heart.

“Thanks for looking out for me, Gaara”

“Su-Sure. That's okay”

“Kiss on it?” The red head couldn't help but burst into
giggles and felt bubbles of happiness in his tummy when Sai pulled
him in for a bunch of fun kisses all over his face.

Wow. These last two chapters took so long to get through. I'm trying
to get out of this bad habit of writing everything down by hand and
then typing it out cause it just takes so god damn long. Right, now
for the main point, I will be editing previous chapters to this
story. I feel like I've gotten better at some of my writing skills
through this story and, thanks to my good friend Zimm, I've had some
great inspiration for new ideas for this sotry as well as others.
I've still got a pocket full of ideas for Orphan Boys but, for now, I
wanna focus on making what I already have better. Hope you all enjoy.
R&R. Thanksfolks. Also, there may be a few mistakes in this
chapter and the previous because they were very long and tiresome to
write at points but hopefully I found them all ^_^ bye!
