Confusion
Saturday evening
Finally... Neji sighed. Saturday had finally come and he was anxiously sitting outside the blonde's house prepping to make a phone call. Just do it all ready. He urged mentally pinching his self. Neji bit down on his lip. He had no idea what to expect. He never specified the terms of their rendezvous today. He was very much attracted to Naruto but he wondered if the boy had felt the same way. Agreeing to go out with him kind of solidified the fact that he did. Then again, Neji didn't specifically ask Naruto on a date.
Placing his finger to the buttons of his mobile Neji pushed green and added the phone to his ear.
"Hello?" Chirped a cheery voice across the line.
"Hi, Naruto...it's, Neji." Said the nervous adolescent.
"Oh great, your outside?" The blond asked.
"Yes."
"Okay I'm just finishing up with Pervy...I'll be out in a couple minutes." Naruto said hanging up as Neji heard someone shouting in the back ground...something about 'brats these days'.
Just as he promised Naruto was out within minutes. Spotting the parked vehicle, he made his way over. Naruto stepped one foot in the car then the other and displayed a wide grin.
"Sup?" He asked looking into extremely light eyes.
Neji blushed momentarily and returned the gesture. His eyes glided over the boy next to him. He wore a fitted orange polo shirt and fitted jeans. Neji couldn't help but notice that since Naruto had been at the school (which was about 2 months now) he had steadily built up a pretty decent looking wardrobe (thanks to Pervy Sage of course!).
"So where we headed?" Naruto asked breaking the silence.
"Well, uh, I guess you can decide if you want." Neji said leaving the floor to Naruto. He figured that since he didn't know what type of situation this was, he'd be able to determine what was happening between them based on the blonde's response.
"Huhmmmm...how bout a movie?" Naruto suggested.
"A movie?" Neji asked thinking of being in tight dark close quarters with the blonde of his dreams. Ha! He must think of this as a date. Neji confidently tilted his head. "That sounds great." He said shifting the car into drive.
Walking up to the box office, Naruto and Neji chatted about which movie looked best.
"Awwww man...Alien vs Predator!" Naruto gushed.
"?" Neji's expression was priceless. "Really...What is that about then?" He asked as he felt his eyebrow twitch.
"It's only the best showdown ever! Well Freddy vs Jason was also epic!" Naruto seemed to be unable to contain himself.
Neji looked around the front of the theater. Chocolat was playing and he had read some good reviews about it.
"Yo we're next." Naruto said pulling Neji by the arm closer to the register.
Neji quickly felt a blush touch his pale features as the other boy tugged at his arm. Well if Alien vs Predator is what Naruto wants, then Alien vs Predator is what Naurto will get. "Two for Alien vs Predator please." Neji said taking out his wallet. He handed the girl his credit card.
"N-Neji…" Naruto said going into his pocket.
"No, Naruto. I've got this." Neji said receiving his card and tickets back.
Credit card? At 16? Naruto asked himself. Suddenly he remembered a conversation that he and Kiba had previously. 'Yo, Neji is like Sasuke man. They're both asses, but besides that, they're both freakin loaded.'
"No really you didn't have to." Naruto said as Neji handed him a ticket. He didn't want it to seem like he wanted to hang with Neji because of his money nor look like a charity case either.
"No, really it's nothing." The brunette said walking towards the popcorn stand.
"Well, I got the snacks then." Naruto said taking out his wallet as well. He didn't have credit but he did have some cash. "Get whatever you want."
"Are you sure?" Neji asked with folded arms placed across his chest.
"Yeah, go ahead." Naruto said hoping Neji was a light eater.
"I think I'll have a small popcorn and soda." Neji said to the boy behind the counter.
"And I'll have that too." Naruto added.
No sooner than the words came out of Naruto's mouth Neji looked at him and spoke. "You know, it'd make more sense to order a large combo instead of two smalls."
Naruto looked at him puzzled.
"It saves you five bucks and you essentially get more." Neji said not covering the fact that he wanted to share.
"Uhhhh okay, that does make sense then." Naruto said reaching into his wallet.
The boys took seats in the middle row of the theater. It was pretty lightly occupied since the movie had been out for about four weeks already. Naruto was so busy with his new friends that he had forgotten what his favorite past time used to be; going to the movies, alone. Back when he was going from home to home, since he didn't have friends or seem to get along with his caretakers, Naruto would often sneak into flicks by his self. He would stare at other kids, who were accompanied by family members or their friends, and he would make believe he was sitting with them. He would laugh when they laughed, he would chuckle when they whispered, but sadly he would leave alone when they left together. Naruto had grown accustomed to being alone. But it always hurt, just a little.
Neji looked out the corner of his eye at Naruto, who was looking out into space blankly. Neji, going unnoticed by a munching blonde, nuzzled down in his seat, getting closer to Naruto.
"Neji, you're not eating any popcorn?" Naruto asked sipping from the rather large cup of soda.
"Oh yea..." Neji reached his hand into the bag then to his mouth inwardly smiling the entire time.
Later
"DAMN, that was a good movie! I especially like the part when..." Naruto began on the way back to the car with Neji.
He sure is something. Neji thought to himself mentally blocking Naruto's words just making an 'uh huh' or 'yes' occasionally.
…
"I really had fun Neji. You're pretty awesome to chill with." Naruto said as Neji pulled to a slow stop in front of his house.
"I did enjoy our...time." Neji said having to readjust the word 'date'.
"Great, so let's do this again sometime buddy." Naruto said grinning widely at the lavender-eyed boy as he tapped his arm with a fist.
"Sure Naruto, that sounds great." Neji cooed.
"Well, I'll see you...Monday?" Naruto said opening the door.
"Yes. Good night." Neji agreed watching as the object of his increasing desire closed the door and walked up the drive way.
Monday
Today will be the day... Sasuke vowed silently while walking down the main hall at school. He ran slightly sweaty palms over his crisp black short sleeved shirt. He moved slowly while in deep thought. Maybe tonight... after the show...Sasuke gave a slight shove to the door and walked into the bathroom.
He had been thinking all weekend. About everything. Things that scared him a little. Mostly rejection. He wanted to say something to Naruto. He wanted to talk to the blonde but he didn't know how. His last attempt in the bathroom the week before was a miserable fail. He was so high at the time he couldn't even form a proper sentence. Just a random jumble of words danced around in his mind.
Sasuke knew he was attracted to the same sex; he always had been. His main problem though, was that he wasn't sure if Naruto was. He didn't want to get turned down. After he saw Naruto dance with Ino at Kiba's house, he was pissed. He was upset because that killed his hope. That all but told him Naruto was straight. Why else dance with that big mouth bitch? He thought that night. Ino only did that to make him mad. She knew good and well the raven wasn't interested in her nor her friends. But there had been one time when…for just a little while…he actually thought…maybe he did like girls…the Kunoichi's quickly ruined it for him though. And now, they purposely tried his patience time and time again.
He looked in the mirror. He didn't like what he saw. He rubbed a hand over his face and through his hair. He hadn't seen Orochimaru since Thursday. Which meant that Sasuke was out of coke and drug free for the past four days. The snake like man had been calling him nonstop since Friday night. He knew if he went to Orochimaru's he was certain to use. Sasuke wasn't sure if he could quit just like that but he had held out this long, just because he didn't want to deal with Orochimaru. The thought of being constantly violated by that man had Sasuke back to slicing his own arms again; when he was sober he was a cutter. He always needed something to numb his reality. Sasuke ran a finger over his bandaged skin before flipping open his cell.
It remained black. The phone had been powered down since the weekend. He didn't want to be bothered so he remained home all weekend. Alone. By segregating himself from civilization, he was trying to figure out when his life had become such a mess. Oh yeah... He thought bitterly remembering that day. Red eyes blazed through Sasuke's mind; unexpectedly he was startled out of his vision by the rattle of the bathroom door.
Fierce eyes averted to a gray haired senior, with a pony tail, as the boy strolled into the washroom. "Wow Sasuke, funny finding you here." Kabuto said.
Sasuke knew he was lying. Of course he came looking for him. The raven didn't speak.
"How's the band thing coming along?" Kabuto asked now standing alongside the raven watching his eyes in the mirror.
Sasuke didn't say anything still. He knew exactly why Kabuto was there. Kabuto was Orochimaru's flunky. He basically ran errands, picked up supplies and handled personal affairs of the snake bastard. When Sasuke arrived at Orochimaru's home, Kabuto was normally leaving. Sometimes he gave the raven a sickening smirk that made Sasuke want to punch his lights out on the spot. Yes, Kabuto knew all about the raven and the snake. In fact, when Sasuke first began his downward spiral freshman year, he used to hang out with Kabuto, Mizuki, Sasori and Zabuza; all of who were sophomores. Kabuto was the one to introduce the raven to Orochimaru. Sasuke could still hear the first words he ever heard Orochimaru speak.
"Good job Kabuto. He'ss perfect…you never fail me." The man hissed with a smirk.
At the time Sasuke didn't know what he meant with that comment, but he soon found out.
"I rang your door bell this weekend." Kabuto interrupted Sasuke's thought. "Like Sunday…about mid-afternoon…" Kabuto continued to speak in his even tone. Sasuke just glared. "How's your day so far?"
"What the hell do you want?" Sasuke spit at the boy knowing he was beating around the bush.
Kabuto smiled. It irked Sasuke. "You know, he was looking for you; all weekend."
"So?" Asked the raven coldly.
"You shut your phone off."
"That's none of your God damned business."
"Well, as a matter of fact…Orochimaru-sama is my business, Sasuke-kun."
"Don't call me that." Sasuke cautioned.
"Truth of the matter is, you're Orochimaru's business. And as you know, I handle his business from time to time." Sasuke began to boil. He didn't like confrontation. "So…what happened? Sasuke-kun…" Kabuto said adding fuel to the fire that was Sasuke.
Almost instantly Sasuke moved and had Kabuto pinned against the wall of the bathroom by his collar.
"Always resorting to violence aren't we?" Kabuto questioned while trying to catch his breath. He knew he was no match for the raven but he had a task at hand to fulfill.
Sasuke didn't say anything. The same red that flashed in eyes before Sasuke so long ago, flashed at that very moment to Kabuto.
Kabuto was fearsome but didn't let on; he knew how dangerous that red flare could be. Yes, he knew that color all too well. "What's changed? Is it someone else?" He pushed less aggressively.
Sasuke's mind suddenly stopped. He went blank for a second. He released his grip on the other boy. His eyes were endlessly black again. He knew there should be no other. Sasuke knew that Orochimaru was more than obsessive over him. If there was another person, there would be trouble. He walked towards the bathroom door. He hadn't really thought about that aspect yet. How can he have Naruto when he was already promised to someone?
"Nothing to say?" Kabuto probed as he altered his clothing.
"Hn…" Sasuke grumbled pushing at the door with force.
Kabuto stood thinking about how his question jarred the raven. So, there is someone else… He concluded.
Later that night
"Are you guys ready?" Suigetsu asked a rowdy crowd. He lived for Monday nights. He only wished he could do this every night. No matter how he tried to convince him, Sasuke just wouldn't agree to a professional career as a rock star. 'It's a stupid shallow idea for idiots.' The raven would say berating Suigetsu every time he mentioned the thought. 'What do you know? You have financial stability. It's not like you need the profit or anything.' Suigetsu would counter feeling like the stubborn Uchiha was being every bit of the selfish prick that he was said to be. Times like those Sasuke would storm out; he never talked about his money. Suigetsu, and the rest of the band, could definitely benefit from the security of lucrative money and the satisfaction of doing what they enjoyed so much. But without the Uchiha they'd do nothing. Even Suigetsu knew without the raven the group was mediocre at best.
"Alright guys, Hebi is officially back in the building..." He paused for applause. "It's my pleasure to introduce a new song at the end of tonight's set..." He paused again; the crowd was amped to have new music from the group. "You all know who we are so...please get ready to be amazed." Backing from the mic Suigetsu took his place to the far left of the raven and looked back at Jugo.
Jugo, on the drums, did a count. TAP TAP TAP...
Karin sang to the first song 'Lifeless state'. "...blazing hearts and dying rainbows...frowning faces telling me noooo...I'm living in a lifeless state...it's so hard to concentrate...darkened skies, world of lies...all I know is I, I'm living high...riding out to die, I'm living in a lifeless state...there is no time to concentrate..."
The band played on for a while, by the second verse, the entire pub was on their feet. This song, like most others, was written by Sasuke. Most of the music the band played was right out the pages of his life. Exactly what he felt on a daily basis. Karin, Jugo and Suigetsu sometimes, would come up with songs and music for the band to play as well, but when Sasuke wrote, he wrote a hit, he wrote high and he wrote real. His life was tragic. He had no family, he didn't know love, and he knew one emotion, hate. He hated everything. His life, his brother, Orochimaru, drugs, everything. He hated how he felt helpless and unable to control his own fate. The band, however, noticed this latest song was a little different. This one was a bit faster paced and less serious than the others. They also raised eyebrows to the title of the newest song, 'Kingdom of hope'.
As Karin began the last song, the newest song, everyone intently listened to her words. "They break me down...you wake me up...today I'm not gonna drown alone...my tortured soul...just to let you know...this is my kingdom of hope...shadows are rising up, from my past...straight from the dark, they're coming up fast...but a light for the future, it's so bright...it's coming up strong...it feels so right...this is my kingdom of hope..." Karin sang to the crowd what seemed to be an instant favorite. The crowd, feeling inspired by the lyrics and beat, went banana's for the groups final performance of the night.
"Yo, another round of shots." Kiba said to a waitress who briefed the table.
"Dude, you're gonna be the reason we don't show at school tomorrow." Shikamaru said shaking his head wearily in anticipation of more liquor.
"You gotta admit though, I know how to get a party started!" Kiba said enjoying the effects of the alcohol.
Naruto smiled and sipped his beer. "Don't worry I'll make sure dog face gets to class tomorrow." He patted his friend on the head.
"Ef you, Goldie locks!" Kiba said giving the blonde a middle finger as he downed the shot that was pointed in his direction.
"You're the one I want...you're the one I crave...the only one worth another day..." The words Karen sang caught Naruto's attention. He quickly moved eyes to the stage. The raven was beginning his solo. The last solo of the night. The crowd stood on tip toes trying to catch the attention of a stoic faced sex god.
Sasuke's eyes were averted to his guitar in hand. He wore a sleeveless shirt showing well defined arms. His dark hair, wildly, hung long covering what many believed to be perfect facial features. Sweat glistened off the bare parts of his pale skin causing girls in the front row to reach toward the stage all trying to get a taste of the raven's juices. Black fitted jeans were held to his waist with a bullet encrusted belt-
"Earth to Naruto! Are you going to drink that?" Kiba harassed the blonde by poking him in the ribs breaking his gaze on Uchiha.
"Nah, have it." Just as Naruto looked back the show was over.
"Whoooooa! YEAH!" Kiba shouted with the rest of the bar.
As always Sasuke was the first off stage. He stood in the back room, rubbing his hands together, thinking about earlier. How am I gonna do this? And sober? He thought to himself. He needed a hit. Just one. He reached up to the cross that hung from his neck. Then he stopped. NO...I need a drink. He said lighting a cigarette. Just then the band joined him.
"Come on, let's go get hammered Jugo. I need a couple shots." Suigetsu said laying down his base.
"Sure." Jugo said walking towards the door.
"And you owe me two from last week, Suigetsu." Karin added stepping behind Jugo.
"Tssskkkk...yea whatever bitch." Suigetsu said under his breath.
The now red haired girl turned and gave him a death glare. "You piece of- S-Sasuke?" She asked looking right over Suigetsu's shoulder.
The two guys turned and looked as well.
"What?" A semi-curious Sasuke said exhaling smoke.
"You're, you're coming with us?" Karin asked as her lips curled into a small smile.
"Oh, yea." Sasuke said hating to have attention placed on him at a time like this.
Filing out the back stage area, the band walked out to the population and tried feverishly to get to the bar. Breaking through fangirls and drunken lames, the crew took seats and finally managed to order drinks. Sasuke threw back shot after shot with his band mates. They talked and he listened occasionally grunting in cohesion. When he grew tired of being approached by the club goers, who really did nothing but enjoy his music (and lust after him), he got up and wandered near the table occupied by his classmates. He felt that urge again. He wanted a hit badly. The liquor was taking too long to kick in. Just as he made a b-line for the bathroom, he turned and clashed with blonde.
"Hey, Sasuke, you're still here?" Naruto asked quickly stammering at the random meeting.
"Naruto…" Sasuke mouthed.
"Good show. I especially liked the new song. Did you write that one too?" Naruto asked remembering that Kiba told him Sasuke wrote for the band.
"Yea, yeah I did actually." Sasuke said rubbing his palms against his jeans; they were sweaty again.
"Were you leaving?" Naruto asked noticing that Sasuke was headed in the direction opposite the groups table.
"Yeah, I was...but I guess I'll hang out a little longer." Sasuke said coolly not wanting to seem too anxious.
"Right on." Naruto said and led the way to the table with Sasuke close in tow.
The boys sat down at the table and were greeted by a drunken friend.
"Dude, fuckin AWESOME show tonight!" Kiba almost screamed while leaning in the wrong direction.
Shikamaru pushed him up straight and nodded at Sasuke. "Yeah it was good man." Shika added lazily.
Sasuke nodded back and ordered the table yet another round.
"You should order us some food too. I'm starving." Said Kiba rubbing his stomach.
"Finally!" Shouted Choji to second the opinion.
Sasuke glanced around. Naruto's smile caught his eye. "What do you guys want?" He asked really waiting for Naruto's response.
"Wings! And fries!" Choji said immediately.
"Sounds good." Naruto confirmed.
Sasuke called over the waitress. She smiled sweetly at the raven, yes she too was mesmerized with the boy. Moments later she brought over two large platters and the table chowed down. Sasuke looked over the food while sipping on a beer.
"Not gonna eat?" Naruto asked him.
"No." He stated calmly.
"Are you sure? All that playing must really work up an appetite." Naruto suggested whilst the others shoved chicken and fries in their mouths.
Sasuke wasn't used to people really caring about his welfare. He shook his head and the corner of his mouth turned upwards a little signifying a smile.
Way across the room
"So, that's the other person." Kabuto said to Sasori while cleaning the lens in his glasses. The pair sat in the back of the club, in the most unlit corner. They had came in sometime during Hebi's performance to observe the raven in his own space. "We can go now." He added seeing that the job was done. It was now time to deliver the information.
