For the second time that day, Naruto came bounding down the stairs, only this time he was not met with an empty room.
Sakura, Ino, and Hinata sat on the couch watching some reality show. They talked amongst themselves arguing over who should win.
Shikamaru was sitting by the window looking out at the clouds. The guy had a really cloud fetish in Naruto’s opinion.
The only person missing from the room was Sasuke. For some reason it seemed like he had been avoiding Naruto since this morning. At first he though nothing of it until it became blatantly obvious.
Every time Naruto entered a room that Sasuke had been occupying, the raven haired boy would get up and leave.
This time though it was a little different. Sasuke strolled out of the kitchen just then, holding a Dr. Pepper in one hand and a thick novel in the other. He took a seat in an empty chair, taking no notice or interest in Naruto.
Deciding to ignore the other boy as well, Naruto turned to Sakura and Ino.
“Hey girls, I have a question.” The three girls looked up at Naruto, just now realizing that he had been there.
“Sure, what is it?” Sakura was the one to answer since it seemed he was speaking more to her than anyone else.
“I just got a call from my friend Kiba, he wants to know if he can come visit me since it’s the weekend and all.” Naruto had been so excited to see his mobile go off, flashing Kiba’s name on the little screen. He had begun to worry that the loud brunette had forgotten him since he had not heard from him all week. Normally he would have accepted Kiba’s proposal at once but he was unsure if he was allowed to have people come and visit him on school grounds. So after telling Kiba that he would call him back, he decided to consult Sakura and Ino about the matter since Sasuke was being a recluse.
Sakura took this news in for a moment, thinking it through before looking at Ino. “It should be fine, he would just need to check in at the front office.” Sakura was practically blinded by the brightness of the smile she received from Naruto.
“Yush!” Naruto exclaimed, causing everyone in the room to look at the blond. Even Sasuke looked up from his book with a frown. He wasn’t too sure if he liked the idea of one of Naruto’s friends coming over. He didn’t need any competition from people he didn’t know.
“I have to go call him back then.” Was all Naruto gave his audience before he bounded back up the stairs and back into his room. Picking up his cell phone, he hit his speed dial and called Kiba, telling him the good news.
“They said yes!” He practically screamed when he heard Kiba’s hello.
“Dammit Blondie, you’re going to kill my eardrums if you keep screeching like that.” Kiba smirked, knowing that Naruto was pouting on the other line.
“So you coming or what?” Was the reply he received.
“I guess I must. You won’t let me do otherwise will you now?”
“Damn straight.” Kiba chuckled at his friend’s enthusiasm. He had to say, he missed him quite a lot. It just wasn’t the same without the loud blond at school.
“Ok, well, I will see you in a bit then.”
“Yeah, I will meet ya at the front office so you can sign in. Give me a call when you get here.”
“Will do.” They said their good-byes and hung up, both excited to be seeing each other again after a long week apart.
The next hour was spent waiting anxiously in the living room. Naruto happily answered questions that were asked about his friend. He was happy to see that his new friends here seemed interested in getting to know Kiba. It made everything all the better.
Sasuke sat across the room, glaring at the page he was currently on. He was no longer reading, just staring blankly at the words presented to him. Jumbled curses ran through his mind as he thought of Naruto being close to someone other than himself.
It was true that it was something that couldn’t be helped, but it still did not help ease the raven’s foul mood.
When he and Naruto had been together they had been everything to each other, now, though, it was totally different. He only hoped that this Kiba guy was nothing special. After all it was hard to compete with an Uchiha. Sasuke settled down then, realizing he had nothing to worry about.
Or that was the frame of mind he kept before Naruto’s phone rang out into the small room. The blond quickly answered it, a huge smile plastered over his face.
“Sure, be there in a bit.” Was all Sasuke heard him say before he closed the phone and ran to the door. “Be back in a bit.” And then he was gone.
For the next ten minutes, Sasuke sat there contemplating on what to do when Naruto came back.
Should he be nice and welcome this guy in with open arms and a bright smile? No, certainly not. Maybe he could try to be nice and tolerate him? That wasn’t too hard. A pain, yes, but nothing too bad.
Or he could try his last option. Be the bastard that he was. It sounded good. Fairly simple and it was just so him.
‘Yup.’ Sasuke thought that would do nicely.
Upon coming to that decision, the door flung open to reveal Naruto dragging a boy in with messy brown locks and a nervous expression on his face.
Oh yes, this would be all too easy. This boy looked like a pansy to Sasuke. He had nothing to worry about at all.
Naruto walked into the main room, still pulling Kiba along. Sakura and Ino smiled at the timid boy.
The room was quiet as everyone waited for introductions to be made. So far it had grown quite uncomfortable in the silence, but Naruto would not allow that to go on for much longer.
After all, it wasn’t like Kiba to be so shy. Then again it might have had something to do with Kiba’s fears of getting jumped by rabid vampires wanting to suck him dry.
“Kiba, this is Sakura and Ino.” He pointed to the two girls who had been smiling at him. They both shook his hand, and Sakura gave him a quick hug. He tensed at the contact but relaxed when Sakura laughed.
“Loosen up. No one is going to attack you.” Sakura said, as if reading his mind.
“Heh...” Kiba laughed along with her, feeling embarrassed for thinking so.
Naruto smiled at the sight before diverting Kiba’s attention to the boy who was sitting by the window.
“That over there is Shikamaru.” Said boy raised his hand in greeting but otherwise said nothing. “He is the laziest person you will ever met. Finds everything too troublesome.” Naruto whispered.
“That’s because it is.” Came the reply for Shikamaru. Apparently his ears weren’t as lazy as the rest of him.
Last but not least, Naruto turned to Sasuke who was sitting in the chair, seeming to be still reading.
“And that bastard over there is Sasuke.” Naruto announced earning a scoff from the raven haired teen.
“At least I am not an idiot.” Was his retort.
Sasuke found pleasure in the way Naruto’s cheeks puffed out in irritation.
“Don’t call me that.” Naruto whined.
“Ah, but I only speak the truth.” Sasuke saw the blond begin to open his mouth to retort when his friend beat him to it.
“Well I guess it’s nice to see that there is someone out there that enjoys insulting you as much as I do.” Kiba laughed giving Sasuke a smile.
“Hey Kiba, that’s not fair. You’re supposed to be on my side.” He pouted to Kiba, trying to look hurt.
“Ah you’re used to it, and you know you love it.” Naruto said nothing but turned to Sasuke.
“Now that Dog Breath knows who everybody is.” He shot Kiba a glare. “What do you all want to do?”
Sakura sat down and thought for a moment. “I guess we could sit down and talk. I’m sure Kiba has a lot of questions for you, Naruto.” She said know how Kiba must feel.
He nodded, looking over towards Naruto. “Sounds good, I would also like to get to know you all better. I want to know that I am leaving my Naruto in good hands.”
Oh that got Sasuke’s attention all right. ‘My Naruto?’ What did he mean by that? The blond had said that they were only friends. Was he lying about that? Sasuke had to know.
The small group of teens came to sit around the table. The conversation started out with the basics of vampire 101, and soon branched out into more personal questions.
Naruto was happy to see that everyone was getting along so well, or everyone except Sasuke. The boy had been glaring at Kiba the entire time they had been talking. He had wanted to ask him what his problem was but thought better of it.
Sasuke had been acting weird all day so he decided not to worry about it too much. ‘Maybe it was PMS.’ He thought with a giggle.
“So Kiba, what did you and Naruto do before this whole mess started?” Ino asked swishing the cup in her hand. She loved the way it made Kiba go pale when she drank from it.
“Umm... we just sort of went out here and there. You know movies, played some sports together, that sort of stuff.” He answered, his eyes never leaving the glass.
“Is that so.” All eyes shot to Sasuke who had spoken for the first time since they had sat down.
Kiba nodded, but said nothing.
“So what is Naruto to you actually? A good friend... best friend even... or perhaps boyfriend, crush...” All eyes widened at Sasuke’s question. One would never expect the Uchiha to ask such a thing. He was usually the one who could care less about such things. (He is so tactless…)
Kiba looked at him with a raised eyebrow before bursting out in laughter.
“Oh man that’s a good one.” He slapped Sasuke hard on the back, earning himself another glare. “Who in there right mind would have a thing for this idiot.” He pointed at Naruto who looked offended.
“Hey.”
Kiba ignored him and went on. “No man, we’re just close buds. Besides I ain’t gay.” He laughed more to himself than anything else.
Sasuke visibly relaxed after that, knowing that Kiba was not a threat to him. The boy was annoying but he wasn’t going to be taking Naruto away.
The rest of the day went by slowly. After the talk that took up a good two hours, the group had decided to sit down and play a simple game of Pictionary. It soon turned into a blood bath as Ino and Sakura got into a fight with Sasuke and Naruto about what was fair. Kiba and Hinata, who had partnered up, just looked on, not wanting to get involved.
In the end Kiba and Hinata beat them all. This earned Kiba a hug from Hinata causing them both to blush.
After that, everyone insisted that Kiba stay the night since tomorrow was Sunday and no one had anything important going on.
It didn’t take much to convince the brunette and he was soon calling his mom to get her OK. Once it was all settled everyone moved into the living room and got comfortable.
They had agreed on some chick flick. Okay, agreed would be lying. It was more like they were all forced into it by a very intimidating Ino and Sakura.
Sasuke had to admit the movie wasn’t half bad, even if it had a rather sappy and cliché ending. But now it was over and late into the night. Everyone seemed to have fallen asleep at some point during the movie and were now sleeping in a disheveled mess all around the room.
Sakura and Ino were cuddled together on the love seat with a blanket covering them from the chill that had settled in the room.
Over by the window Sasuke could see Shikamaru sleeping soundly, not seeming to care about the awkward position he was laying in.
Naruto was on the couch taking up all the room. Sasuke had been sitting with him at some point in time but was soon forced to take a seat on the floor when the blond none too gently demanded more space for his feet.
His eyes racked over Naruto’s form as he slept. He looked like he had all those years ago. Like an angel sent to him from heaven.
The temptation swelled up in him again. Sasuke wanted to touch that boy so much, to feel the warm softness of his skin. He wanted to rake his hands through that coarse hair and kiss those full lips.
Not being able to resist, Sasuke let his knuckles glide carefully along the blonde’s face before allowing his hand to cup the cheek fully.
It was so warm, warm and softer than he had remembered. His thumb stroked the scars that marred Naruto’s beautiful face. They were something new to Sasuke. A part of Naruto that was unique to this time alone.
Sasuke briefly wonder how he had come to have them.
“They’re birth marks.” Sasuke jumped back in shock. He had not realized that someone was still awake.
Looking around in mild panic, he came face to face with Kiba.
“He was born with them. It’s funny how perfect they are. Kinda remind me of whiskers.” Sasuke just watched him, unsure of what to say.
“It seems like he is happy here. It was nice to see him smile so much. When I can admit I was afraid at what I might find. But it seems like he is doing fine.” Kiba looked up then and smiled at Sasuke. “I think I have you to thank for that. He always seems to smile more at you than anyone else.”
“I haven’t done anything.” Kiba dismissed the Uchiha’s words with a wave of his hand. He would not have any of Sasuke’s modesty.
“You have done a lot for him. You didn’t see how broken he was before he came here.” Sasuke saw the sadness in Kiba’s eyes and he knew that it must have been bad. Then again, he had seen how much this change had affected him, if their fight had been any indication.
“I can leave now know that I am leaving him in good hands. He cares for you Sasuke, and... I know you care for him as well. Don’t think I don’t see the way you look at him when you think no one is looking. I don’t know exactly what you feel for him, but I will say this. Naruto is not gay. If romance is what you are looking for than I am sad to say you will be disappointed. Naruto can be your best of friends. He will love you as a brother, but nothing more. Please take care of him, though , and if you dare hurt him on purpose you will have me to answer to.” Sasuke saw the threat in the brunette’s eyes but said nothing. What could he say, after what he had just been told.
‘So he says I have no chance.’ It hurt him to think that it was the truth. Deep down Sasuke knew that Naruto was no longer his. Yet that fact still did not tame the temptation that was swelling within him. He didn’t know how long he could keep himself away from Naruto. It was torture to be this close to the blond and not be able to have him fully. Only time would tell if Kiba’s words would come true.
Without a second glance, Sasuke left Kiba standing there. He had too much to think about and he needed some time alone. He made his way up to his room. He had another sleepless night ahead of him, that much was sure.
