A/N: Did I say three chapters? I lied. And I’m not even sorry. There will be four.
Beware of some drama at the beginning. But everything will be just fine by the end of the chapter. This is still mostly romance and some slight humor – if you like my weird sense of it.
Now enjoy!
Chapter 2 – Watch Me... Stalk Me!
Boarding school AU. How long does it take to build a crush? To fall in love? Some of us need days, weeks or perhaps months. Whereas for others, it’s just a matter of a look.
…
They just stood, dumbfounded and staring at each other.
Even though it took only a few seconds, Naruto would swear that they were the longest ones in his life. Sasuke’s body came to life first, his eyes to be precise. He strolled his gaze down Naruto’s form and the blond immediately covered his crotch, guild radiating from every fiber of his skin. Sasuke wouldn’t have even noticed the ebbing erection if Naruto wouldn’t have given himself away so stupidly.
Their looks met again. Naruto witnessed Sasuke’s eyes widening in realization and cheeks flushing in anger and embarrassment.
He was doomed. So fucking doomed.
“S-Sasuke… I-I…” Naruto began to stutter, but he didn’t even start the sentence properly and his voice failed him. His feet automatically moved backwards, avoiding the piercing black stare of the boy who made a step towards him.
Sasuke entered the room, threw away his towel, a bottle of shampoo and then smashed the door behind them – all in one fluid motion. Naruto breathed in again, wanting to start apologizing anew, but his breath was slammed out of him when his back hit the wall. Sasuke clutched his shirt, his face dangerously close to Naruto’s.
“You fucking psycho!” Sasuke yelled and then let go of him as if he was dropping something rotten. He inhaled deeply, apparently trying to control the wave of rage, which was quickly replaced by a mixture of other ugly emotions. Naruto would swear he caught a glimpse of disgust and regret.
Naruto’s defense mechanism kicked in. His brain unable to evaluate whether it was a good option at this point. “Who’re you calling a psycho, you perv!?”
Sasuke blinked at him, his angry blush growing. Somewhere in the back of Naruto’s mind a tiny voice thought that the Uchiha looked quite adorable. Naruto shut that voice up quickly. For now at least. If he had a teensy-weensy chance to convince Sasuke that it was all a mistake and that he had only just entered his room, it vanished right at that second.
Sasuke’s features twitched painfully. “Get out,” he all but gritted out, his tone strained with fury.
Never in his life had Naruto seen anyone as mad as Sasuke was right now. He crouched under that murderous stare, his hands flaring in front of him in the famous I-give-up gesture. Didn’t seem to help though.
“I-I… just… I’m s-sorry…” Naruto babbled.
Sasuke’s hands balled into fists. “Get the fuck out!” he barked.
“B-but…” Naruto began, not moving from his spot as if his legs turned into stone. “But you like me,” he blurted out, immediately realizing his mistake when he was grabbed by his wrist and hauled towards the exit.
Sasuke opened the door so aggressively he almost ripped them out of the wall. “Who gave you the fucking right?!” he screamed and pushed Naruto out of him room.
Only by a stroke of luck Naruto managed to withstand the force with which his body was being pulled around. He looked up to see Sasuke and instantly wished he would keep his dumb stare locked to the floor. That small hint of hurt and disbelief in Sasuke’s eyes before he slammed the door shattered Naruto’s heart to pieces.
He felt like shit. He was the scum of the earth. He couldn’t even imagine how embarrassed he would feel if something like this would have happened to him. Such humiliation.
Naruto was just about to bang at the door and beg for forgiveness when breathless Kiba appeared next to him. “What’s going on? Did you-“
The look Naruto gave him managed to shut Kiba up efficiently. At least for a few seconds. “Wow, what happened? What did you find out? What did you see?” he eagerly flooded Naruto with questions.
The blond frowned. “Nothing,” he whispered, voice heavy with guilt and sorrow, “forget it.”
Naruto left his confused friend Kiba standing by Sasuke’s door and half marched – half ran back into his own room. Heavy feeling descended into his stomach, the weight of blame and remorse. They were the worst, even more hurtful when he knew that it was all his fault.
…
Dreading Sasuke’s tomorrow reaction, Naruto almost wasn’t able to sleep. He just lied in his bed, staring at the ceiling and trying to come up with a way how to atone for his sins. It was an early morning when his brain shut down from exhaustion for a few hours of restless slumber. He thought that the emotions swirling inside of him were the worst possible combination. The guilt squeezing his belly couldn’t possibly get any worse.
He was wrong.
The second he saw Sasuke the next day Naruto realized that he wasn’t the only one who had a sleepless night behind him. And his heart sank down like a ship. It was usual for Sasuke to avoid people, or even eye contact, Naruto knew that. It was just the way Sasuke carried himself that morning. His back crouched as if he wanted to hide, eyes tired and – what broke Naruto’s heart the most – sad.
Naruto’s guts twisted painfully when Sasuke threw a glance in his direction. Their looks met. A tiny moment of shock followed, as if Sasuke wouldn’t expect Naruto to be there. Then his onyx orbs frantically scanned Naruto’s group of friends, seemingly searching for something. Naruto had no idea what it was. But since that moment, Sasuke began to ignore him. And it wasn’t the usual get-out-of-my-way-idiot disregard. It was something much stronger and tangible.
The feeling that Sasuke didn’t want to spend a second sharing a class with Naruto lingered over them. Like a heavy cloud shadowing their heads and thoughts. At first Naruto thought that he and Sasuke were the only ones who could sense this tension. But when Kiba turned to him with a questioning expression, Naruto winced and shook his head. He silently hoped that Kiba wouldn’t ask any stupid questions. Not now at least.
Naruto knew that his friend was about to interrogate him about what he had witnessed in Sasuke’s room. That was inevitably coming. But he had no intention to share a thing with Kiba. No matter how intensely Kiba was going to demand the ‘hilarious’ story, he wasn’t getting one. Not because there was nothing even remotely funny about what had happened. Or because Naruto would want to protect himself from Kiba’s comments on his shameful hard-on. The blond could always skip that part and share only the ‘important’ bits. But he would never do that. Not to Sasuke and not to anyone else. No-one deserved such humiliation. Naruto’s lips were sealed.
All he had to do now was convince Sasuke the same and apologize properly. What Naruto didn’t anticipate, however, was how difficult of a task such an apology could prove to be.
…
If Sasuke exceled at something besides school, it was the art of successfully avoiding someone. The fact that Naruto constantly had Kiba, Rock Lee or some other friend clinging to his ass was another problem. He could always try to excuse himself and get rid of them. But they were so loud, announcing his presence everywhere. Not like Naruto would want to sneak up on Sasuke, but with the manner in which Sasuke kept escaping him, he didn’t think of a better option. This was the day Naruto realized that being so popular wasn’t always a good thing. He couldn’t get a second for himself and chase after Sasuke who kept disappearing in the crowd or behind corners.
Naruto tried a different approach and spammed Sasuke’s phone with text messages. Don’t even ask how he got his number!
Alright. It was Sakura. Sakura! Of all people who had Sasuke’s phone number it must have been her. Oh the amounts of sweets he had to promise her if she would give it to him. And the weird look on her face when she finally did. If she really had been the one spreading a rumor of Naruto being a total wacko, now it would get ten times worse. How long can a woman hold a grudge? Naruto didn’t want to know.
To Naruto’s enormous disappointment, it soon became very clear that Sasuke never read a single one of his self-shaming and forgiveness begging texts. He instantly deleted them. Naruto’s heart crumbled every time he saw Sasuke take out his phone and then squeeze it, unapproachable expression on his face. Why wouldn’t he come to him and hit him, scream at him! Just do something! Ignoring Naruto like this was the worst punishment the blond could get. Maybe Sasuke knew it, or maybe he was simply afraid to look into Naruto’s eyes. Naruto didn’t blame him.
But hey! We all do silly stuff! So what that Sasuke was thinking of him? Naruto was willing to let that slide and never think about it again if that’s what Sasuke wanted. He only wanted to make clear that he wasn’t spreading any gossips about Sasuke. He wanted to explain that it was all a stupid idea and say sorry! Proper sorry with Sasuke standing there and fucking listening!
Naruto was, of course, still immensely curious about why Sasuke was moaning his name. Who wouldn’t be? He had already come up with several theories. It started with eternal love and ended in Naruto mishearing. The blond got ridiculously turned on that day after all, so it would be no surprise if he had imagined it all. Right?
No. Although partly he wished he did, Naruto knew very well that he didn’t imagine or mishear Sasuke. Which made the situation even worse. Because if – and only if – Sasuke genuinely liked Naruto, then it also meant that he got hurt and humiliated by him. Naruto knew that getting hurt or pushed around by the person we care about is always the most painful. And he hated being the bad one in a situation like this even more than being the victim.
Or perhaps Sasuke was a pervert who was kind of into everyone and Naruto was just unlucky that day.
And maybe Sasuke knew that Naruto is hiding under his bed and decided to give him a lesson.
The options were numerous, but Naruto would never know which one of them was the right one. Since he never got the chance to talk about it with Sasuke.
No matter how many texts he sent him. How many internet messages he composed. How many times he knocked on Sasuke’s door, pleading to be let in. Sasuke ignored him – thoroughly, earnestly and completely. Naruto never felt as invisible as he did when Sasuke happened to walk past him. But he deserved it. Yes. He knew that he deserved it all.
But it also didn’t mean he would give up on trying to apologize. It could take days or weeks, but Naruto would keep chasing an opportunity to talk to the guy.
Just like he was doing today.
Several days had passed since the incident. Naruto could see that his constant and relentless pursuing was starting to get on Sasuke’s nerves. He was about to crack one of these days and let Naruto express himself. The blond was sure!
Naruto saw as Sasuke caught his pleading stare for the third time that day. He always tried to ignore it, glancing back into his book and reading. Naruto waited. He wasn’t about to move from his spot before he would get the chance to speak with Sasuke. He had done this before. He could pretend to be interested in the books that were displayed on the shelves around him. While Sasuke would pretend to be interested in the book in his hands. When in fact the only thing they both were actually paying attention to was the other. Naruto could feel that today was his lucky day.
Minutes passed and Naruto still stalled in the library aisle. A nervous tic bothered his eye and his hands were sweating. Then a rush of adrenaline washed over him. He saw Sasuke close the book rather angrily and march towards him. Naruto could see the fury and annoyance in Sasuke’s gaze, but he didn’t avert his eyes. He was prepared to hold the stare firmly, get all the hate he deserved.
Sasuke halted mere inches from him, probably forgetting to stop sooner in his aggravated state. “What the fuck is your problem? Stop stalking me!” he spat and narrowed his eyes.
The warmth of Sasuke’s body hit Naruto’s chest and he swallowed the lump in his throat before speaking. “I’m not stalking you. I just want to apologize,” he admitted, his voice much quieter than Sasuke’s was; bashful almost.
Two piercing onyx depths measured Naruto from head to toe, as if Sasuke couldn’t believe his own ears. “Tsch, whatever. Just fuck off,” he scoffed eventually.
And Naruto knew that he was about to turn around and walk away. He could sense it from the change of posture.
“Damn it, Sasuke!” he exclaimed, his voice tensed as he was desperately trying not to yell. He quickly blocked Sasuke’s way with his hand and grabbed the bookcase behind him, effectively closing the only way out of the aisle. “It was as embarrassing for me as it was for you,” Naruto said, a strain in his tone. He watched Sasuke glance at him shortly, irritated as ever, then he looked away.
The urge to be intimate with the Uchiha climbed to alarming heights. Naruto had never felt as drawn towards someone as he felt right now. He leaned a little closer, aiming for Sasuke’s ear as if he was about to whisper him a shameful secret, which was mostly the case anyway. “I got hard, remember? When I was lying there, listening to your…” Naruto cut himself off. His guts tightened when he saw Sasuke twitch. He suspected it was probably because Naruto’s breath fanned over the side of his face and neck. Or so Naruto thought.
A small shaky exhale slipped through Sasuke’s lips. “Shut up,” he whispered breathlessly.
“No! You shut up and listen,” Naruto gritted out, his spine tingling from their close proximity. He looked down – a big mistake.
Naruto felt hotness rushing into his cheeks at the sight of Sasuke’s creamy skin. His neck looked so soft that Naruto’s mouth became to salivate. But he had to say something, had to explain or reassure Sasuke. Damn it Naruto! Wake up! Focus!
He sealed his lids briefly. “I’m sorry about what happened. But it’s just between the two of us. I didn’t tell anyone and I never would,” Naruto said. The hand on the bookcase tightening its grip. He switched from ogling the tempting neck to look behind Sasuke instead.
From the corner of his eye Naruto saw how Sasuke shot him a fiery stare. “That’s ‘cause you’re trying to save your sorry ass, damn perv.”
“What? No!” Naruto blurted out, “Fuck no!” the blond cleared his throat and straightened. An attempt to calm his nerves before the library lady would come to scold them for being too loud. She had the hearing of a lynx, seriously.
Hesitantly, Naruto searched for Sasuke’s eyes, slowly strolling his gaze over his face and trying not to ogle Sasuke’s lips for too long. He eventually ended up sharing a direct stare with him. Sasuke was watching him with a frown, or maybe a pout. Naruto wasn’t sure, but he pushed down the instinct to kiss the expression off with another dry gulp. “Look, I’ll do whatever you want me to, okay? I’ll do anything to prove that I’m really sorry, just say the word and-“
“Anything?” Sasuke interrupted him.
Eyes shivering and helplessly holding onto Sasuke’s, Naruto nodded. “Y-yeah.”
“Fine. I’ll see you tomorrow after History,” Sasuke announced, too hurriedly for it to sound natural. Then with a single push into Naruto’s hand he freed himself and disappeared; leaving his unfinished book forgotten on the desk.
That was it. Naruto felt the tension leaving his shoulders like a boulder rolling off a cliff. An unsettling anticipation of what was about to happen tomorrow settled in his abdomen. Suddenly, he wasn’t sure that telling Sasuke that he would ‘do anything’ was such a good idea. He barely knew the guy, what if Sasuke would try to make him do something horrible. Something humiliating!
Naruto didn’t want to embarrass himself in front of Sasuke. He already felt embarrassed enough. So what that Sasuke was moaning his name the other day? And who cared whether the Uchiha had a crush on Naruto?
Naruto seriously didn’t care. All he could think about now was that – and damn him for this – he had hots for the guy! Huge, suffocating need to tackle Sasuke, hug him and never let go.
History was supposed to be the last lesson of the day. It was supposed to be the end of Naruto’s school duties. It was no surprise that Naruto had forgotten about the lecture. The extra one they were about to have. Partly Naruto was happy, because he would avoid whatever terrifying thing Sasuke had planned for him. And partly he was disappointed, because… well, he would avoid whatever Sasuke had planned for him. Weirdly enough, Naruto realized that this was going to be his first time spent with Sasuke. It could be their first date. If done right. Or simply a start of a friendship. An odd one, sure, but still a friendship.
Naruto had never felt such a mixture of emotions gyrate inside him. He was scared and anxious, but also excited and thrilled. Though most of all, Naruto was curious. He was always quite a nosy creature who liked to poke around and gather juicy gossips. He hoped Sasuke would at least share what he had planned for him. Now that they wouldn’t have the chance to execute it.
As it soon turned out, Naruto had underestimated Sasuke. The Uchiha remembered the extra lecture very well. It was precisely the reason why he had chosen this day, as he – oh so – generously explained. A thought that Sasuke had plotted this for a while crossed Naruto’s mind. He didn’t have the time to think about it though, because a small paper bag full of stuff was shoved into his hand. Sasuke instructed him to go inside a toilet cabin and open it there. And so Naruto did.
“What the hell?” a shocked scream resounded in the restroom and Naruto’s eyes grew wide.
It was – a butt plug. That weird shaped one. The one meant specifically for males. Naruto swallowed heavily. It wasn’t anything big or scary, quite normal compared to what Naruto had seen on the Internet. But it didn’t make the image of having something like that inside any less horrifying. Especially when he was about to be in a room full of people.
The other things were a tube with baby oil, disinfectant gel and wet wipes. Someone came prepared.
Sasuke’s voice coming from behind the door caught Naruto’s attention. “I didn’t use it before, it’s completely new. But clean it properly, it’ll be safer.”
That thought didn’t even occur to the blond, his mind busy with other things.
“…and don’t screw up the order,” Sasuke added when Naruto didn’t seem to find his lost voice.
Naruto’s lips parted a few times. He kept staring at the items, mildly traumatized. Then squeaked. “Are you serious?”
Sasuke chuckled at the funny tone of Naruto’s voice. “I knew you’d be too scared,” he hummed, amused.
It came so damn naturally to him. Naruto couldn’t believe it. He was still unable to count one and one together and accept the idea of putting ‘that thing’ in. While Sasuke was calmly giving him orders from the other side. Naruto measured it, pushing away the urge to sob pathetically.
“I’m not scared!” Naruto responded, too late for it to be convincing.
“Then get it in or get out, we don’t have time.”
Naruto sighed and hesitantly began to undo his pants. The sound of a zipper being pulled and belt buckle hitting the tiles was given as an answer to Sasuke. This was Naruto’s punishment then. So be it! Naruto would take it. It was the least he could do to prove that he was truly sorry. Maybe after this they could consider the score even, Naruto hoped.
The tiny idea that this was also kind of thrilling was pushed away. Naruto used all the given items in the order he found the most logical. First was the gel, then wet wipes and lastly a fair amount of baby oil. Naruto cleaned himself too and flushed the used tissues down the toilet before he carefully applied the sex toy.
A few minutes later he came out of the cabin, cheeks crimson and a paper back in his hand. He returned it to Sasuke who took it and put it into his backpack, then swung the backpack over his shoulder. Black eyes measured Naruto’s odd stance and ended up fixed on his awkward cringe and deep blush. Sasuke blinked at him as if he was waiting for something, expression void of emotions.
Naruto winced and looked at Sasuke. “Who’s gonna know I have this inside?” he asked, afraid of the answer.
Sasuke shrugged. “Just you and me.” A sly smirk flew across his lips. “If you try hard enough.”
A yelp and Naruto’s body jumped when the thing inside him began to vibrate. Then it stopped again. Naruto felt even more hotness filling his face and groaned; partly in embarrassment and partly with resignation. Not like he could take it out now. It would mean he would go back on his decision and that was something absolutely unacceptable. He avoided Sasuke’s studying gaze and rather looked down on the floor.
Casually, Sasuke made his way out of the restroom and Naruto trailed after him. But before exiting, the Uchiha stopped, his hand on the handle as he turned around to face Naruto.
“Keep walking like that and everyone’s gonna know,” he advised and only then opened the door.
Naruto grimaced and followed him. He was sure that the next hour and something was definitely going to be his purgatory.
