Chapter 2: Shenanigans

 

 

Sasuke walked into Konoha University with a neutral expression on his face. His pace was cool and collected with a feel of superiority to it that made every girl glance his way and every lesser man move out of it. To any onlooker Sasuke looked like the definition of smooth, but inside he was a wreck! A month had passed since his break up with Sakura and today was the day for Naruto's plan to be put into action.

 

 

Over the past month the two had started to hang out with each other more. It had started with Naruto staying close to Sasuke, because of the break up. Sasuke being an Uchiha had had to live down the embarrassment of a girl dumping him and had to and was still listening about it from his parents. They had liked “that Haruno girl.” After about a week of pretending to feel bad, the two had moved on to the second week with Naruto taking Sasuke out so he could get his mind off of Sakura, who still hung out in the group much to Sasuke's annoyance, and possibly to “find him another girl to date.” After a couple of nights at the club the two's plan had really gone into action. Instead of Naruto offering to hang out with Sasuke, he would just voluntarily go with the blonde. He would go with him to his band practices and the two began to look inseparable. By the fourth week it looked like some of their friends had a suspicion like Ino and Tenten. Also by the fourth week Sakura had started to try and hang out with Naruto more letting the two know that she had had the same idea. However, with Sasuke always with the blonde or one of their other friends the blue eyed boy rarely had much alone time with her.

 

 

Now here Sasuke was and he had no idea what the plan was. He hadn't seen Naruto all weekend and was beginning to worry if the blonde had left him for new and better pranks. Trying not to think about it too much Sasuke quickly cleared his head as he walked into his economics class and took a seat.

 

 

Class had been boring. First Sasuke had had to wait for his professor, Kakashi Hatake, who was thirty minutes late; and then he had been forced to endure a lecture on what would happen if the demand for Icha Icha Paradise increased somehow causing the supplies for making computers decrease. The raven had contemplated committing seppuku with his fine point pen, but decided against it when he noticed that there was only ten minutes left of class. Plus he was pretty sure that his death would have only caused excitement to the other students in the classroom and who was he to let them have so much fun without him.

 

 

Taking his thoughts off of the Class from Hell Sasuke made his way to the Commons area of the campus thinking about what he wanted to eat for lunch. However, the closer he got to the eating area the more nervous he got.

 

 

`I still don't know what that dobe planned for today. What am I supposed to do when I see him? How am I supposed to act? Will he make the first move or will he make me?'

 

 

“Hey Sasuke!” Said boy quickly looked over to see that Ino was calling him over to a table that rested on a raised level of the eating area. Without saying a word he walked briskly to a sandwich line grabbed a turkey sandwich, a bag of chips, and a Pepsi then walked over to her and his group of friends.

 

 

As he got closer Sasuke could see that Ino had sat in the middle of a long table with Tenten on her right and Shikamaru, on her left. Beside the Nara sat Kiba who was happily eating a burger and fries. On the other side of the table, showing their backs to Sasuke's approaching form sat Neji, Tenten's boyfriend, Sakura, and Lee. Giving a nod to all of them Sasuke took the seat across from Kiba and sat down with his lunch.

 

 

“So how have you been today Sasuke-kun?” asked Ino in a sisterly way. When they had entered middle school together Ino had had a large crush on the dark haired boy, but over the years she had gotten over him and with Naruto's helped had come to realize that she had feelings for Shikamaru. She was currently in the process of wooing him, according to Naruto.

 

 

“I'm fine Ino”, replied Sasuke in a calm manner. With the hellos out of the way the group continued their conversations or in Kiba's case demolishing food. Seeing that everything seemed normal Sasuke unwrapped his sandwich and started to eat.

 

 

`Hm. Looks like nothing has changed so far.'

 

 

“So Sasuke-kun, have you seen Naruto today?” asked Ino with a devious grin.

 

 

`Guess I thought too soon.' Was all Sasuke could think before he glanced around to the others at the table to see that they were all giving him a suspicious look.

 

 

“No. I haven't seen him today.” Answered Sasuke calmly, hoping that that would satisfy his gossip hungry friends.

 

 

“But you two are always together. You should know where he is Sasuke. I mean you two are BEST FRIENDS right?” asked Tenten with a knowing look. Sasuke was about to reply, although he didn't know with what, when Sasuke felt a familiar presence behind him.

 

 

`Well speak of the devil.'

 

 

Sasuke turned around to see a head of blonde hair heading toward him. The blue eyed boy was wearing a pair of worn jeans that clung to his hips and buttocks and a form fitting black t-shirt that read “I'm blonde what's your excuse.” To complete the look Naruto had slung his black backpack over is right shoulder giving him a look of confidence and much to Sasuke's reluctance, sexual appeal. The raven then looked around to the other occupants in the room and noticed that he was not the only one that was thinking such thoughts by the way the girls flushed and smiled shyly when Naruto glanced their way and how as he passed some of the guys discreetly tried to look at the blonde's backside.

 

 

“Hey guys! What's up?” smiled the blonde looking at all of them in turn.

 

 

“Hey Naruto! We we're just beginning to wonder where you were. Sasuke-kun was getting worried.” Smiled Ino deviously.

 

 

“He was…” grinned Naruto as he turned towards the stunned raven haired boy.

 

 

Feeling the wait of Naruto's gaze, Sasuke looked up to see the boy smiling softly at him blonde locks falling into the boy's cerulean gaze, making it appear to be more of a lover's gaze than a friendly one. `Well this is different' thought Sasuke. The ebony eyed boy was so caught up in looking at Naruto though, that he didn't notice the others watching them with shocked and knowing looks. He also didn't notice how Sakura gave him a jealous glare. However, Sasuke did notice when someone coughed startling him from his, dare he say, private moment with Naruto.

 

 

Looking up Sasuke realized in horror that everyone, except for Sakura, who was frowning, was giving him and Naruto smiles and grins. `Great now what do I do. I hate this kind of attention.'

 

 

As if hearing Sasuke's plea Naruto turned to the rest of the group and smiled at them before taking a seat at the end of the table in-between Kiba and Sasuke. The blonde then turned to Kiba.

 

 

“Hey Kiba, we need to start practicing soon. That gig we have is next Saturday.” Naruto said with a serious look in his eyes. Kiba seeing the serious look nodded chewing his food carefully before responding to the large blonde next to him.

 

 

“Yeah, I know. Shikamaru was saying the same thing to me the other day. When do you feel like practicing? O and don't forget that your going to have to tell Gaara since you're the only one that has a class with him.”

 

 

“Yeah, I'll see him today in computer sciences.” Responded the blonde as he reached over and grabbed one of Sasuke's chips. Used to this Sasuke just moved his chip bag over so that it rest in between the two of them.

 

 

“Good,” said Shikamaru as he turned towards his band mates. “Have you decided which songs you want to sing for the show yet, Naruto?”

 

 

“I have a couple in mind, but I haven't narrowed it down yet. We can only sing two songs right?” asked the singer before reaching over across Sasuke to the raven's drink. The blonde then casually took a sip before, placing it in between the two of them, like Sasuke had done with the chips. Seeing this Kiba glanced curiously at Naruto before looking to Sasuke for his reaction.

 

 

What Kiba saw astonished him. Sasuke hadn't been fazed at all and was still eating as if nothing happened. The brunette then quickly glanced at the others to see if they had caught it too. `Well I guess they have' thought Kiba with a smirk. Ino sat with a wide grin on her face and Tenten next to her looked like she was going to burst out in a mixture of uncontrollable giggles and maniacal laughter. Neji looked to be in deep thought, while Lee seemed to have a happy-goofy smile on his face that promised talk of “young fruitful happy-happy joy-joy love later”. And Sakura, well Kiba wasn't sure on whether or not he wanted to laugh at her facial expression or hide under the table with his tail between his legs.

 

 

The pink haired girl had started out with a look of shock and disbelief on her face before it turned into a frown and then a glare, which were surprisingly directed at Sasuke. Looking at her more closely Kiba also noticed that she was gripping onto her diet protein bar very tightly. `Well this should be interesting.'

 

 

It was common knowledge to all those who knew Sasuke and Naruto that the two tended to invade each others personal space, well Naruto did at least. Sasuke usually put up with it, but one of the black haired boy's pet peeves was drinks and most of the time his food. Everyone knew that Sasuke had a thing about people wanting to share drinks and how he couldn't stand it; something about bad hygiene. Yet here Sasuke was sharing both his chips and his drink with the muscled blonde. Plus the only time Kiba had ever seen Naruto take another's food was when he was close to them and not in just a neighborly way. The blonde only pressed into another's space like that when he was dating them. If Kiba didn't know any better he would think that the two had become closer and possibly more than just best friends.

 

 

Looking at Ino and Tenten he would think that the two had come to the same conclusion as he did and by the looks of it Ino probably wanted to voice her opinion as well. But before the blonde girl could open her mouth, Naruto suddenly turned to Neji and asked what time it was.

 

 

“It's one o'clock.” Replied the long haired brunette with a contemplative look on his face.

 

 

“Ahh!' wailed the blonde before pushing back his chair grabbing his backpack, “I've got business management with Professor Tsunade in ten minutes. If I don't get there in time that old hag will have my head. Well see you later.” With that the blonde took off out of the Commons running to his next class.

 

 

Naruto walked down the halls with a scheming grin on his face. All was going according to plan, muahahahaha. `Wow I sound like an evil master mind' the blond thought absently as he trekked to his management class. When he had arrived in the Commons the blonde couldn't think of a better setting. Not only was Sasuke there, but Ino and Tenten were there as well. He was sure that the group would be suspicious now.

 

 

Naruto already had a feeling that the group thought they were more than friends if the questioning looks the group was giving Sasuke before he had arrived had any indication. Now all he needed to do was add a couple more brief touches, some linger looks and maybe take Sasuke out to lunch and the cat would be in the bag. Giving off another wide smile the blonde walked into his class ready to learn about the wonderful world of business. Riiight…

 

 

Sasuke walked out of his biology class with Neji and Ino exhausted. First off Professor Shizune had given the most boring lecture Sasuke had ever heard. That was two boring lectures in one day! It was an outrage! Then since class had been so boring it had given Ino time stare at him as if he was a new species. The aqua eyed girl was thinking so hard that Sasuke could almost see the cog wheels turning in her head. And Neji was no help at all, with his silence. Sasuke wouldn't put it past the Hyuuga that he may have actually been paying attention to the lecture. So there he was trying to take notes, while at the same time trying to pretend to be oblivious to Ino's glances and suspicious looks.

 

 

Sasuke was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't notice a certain blonde sneaking up on him until a muscled arm found its way around his shoulders, shocking the boy out of his thoughts.

 

 

“Hey Sasuke, what's with the look of death?” grinned Naruto as he fell in step with the shorter boy, ignoring the looks from Ino and Neji.

 

 

Sasuke quickly turned to look at Naruto focusing his Uchiha glare on the blonde, but before he could even put its full effect on the blonde Sasuke saw the grin and the look of mischief on the blonde's face and his glare melted away. Stunned for a second by the glint in Naruto's eyes Sasuke could only mutter a “dobe” before continuing down the hall with the blonde beside him.

 

 

When the four friends reached the parking lot Sasuke immediately noticed one of two things. One none of their other friends were there, so he assumed that they had all gone home, and two Sakura was standing by their usual spot waiting for them.

 

 

`Well isn't that great' thought Sasuke with a smirk as he saw the angry look that passed over the pink haired girl's face as she noticed Naruto's arm around Sasuke. Sakura was standing next to her hot pink VW Bug trying to look as, dare he say it, “sexy” as possible. The girl was wearing a dark pink top with a short denim skirt and pink sandals. As the four walked closer the girl shifted her weight to one side jutting her hip out in a “hot” pose.

 

 

Hearing a small chuckle from his partner Sasuke looked up to see a small smile that was threatening to break out into a grin appear on Naruto's face. Wanting to laugh himself Sasuke quickly looked away to calm himself before turning back around to face the pink menace before him. When they finally reached her Sasuke noticed that Naruto had let his arm linger on his shoulders before pulling away to stand next to him.

 

 

“Hey Sakura, what are you doing here?” asked Ino looking curious as to why the girl was waiting by herself.

 

 

“Well the others have already left and I decided to wait for you guys” replied Sakura all the while looking at Naruto. Noticing this Sasuke unconsciously took a step closer to Naruto not liking the look the girl was giving the blonde.

 

 

“O well, I was just getting ready to walk back to the house, since Tenten has already left for the day. Do you think you can give me a lift since you weren't doing anything in particular” asked Ino.

 

 

“Sure” replied the girl with a smile “Ino I don't understand why you always ask. We live together, why wouldn't I give you a ride home?”

 

 

“Habit I guess” The blonde girl then turned to the three boys. “So what do you three plan to do?”

 

 

“Well I have to go help my father at the office” replied Neji quickly “So I'll see you guys tomorrow.” With that the long haired teen walked off towards his black Mercedes. Ino then turned to Sasuke and Naruto giving them the same questioning look. Sasuke realizing that she wanted a quick answer like Neji was about to reply when Naruto cut in for him.

 

 

“Well I'm gonna go get something to eat. Sasuke if you want you can join me?” smiled the blonde. Sasuke noticed that Naruto paused for a second almost giving the question a dramatic effect before adding, “I mean I feel like I owe ya for eating your lunch today.”

 

 

Seeing where Naruto was going with this Sasuke nodded shyly or he hoped that he looked slightly shy and replied with a small “sure.” Turning back to the two other girls he quickly realized that he got his desired affect. Ino was smiling like an idiot on crack and if looks could kill Sasuke was sure that he would be a pile of Uchiha dust by the way Sakura was glaring at him. Thinking on it Sasuke realized that Naruto had held his tongue in hopes that he would be able to ditch the pink bitch, as Sasuke like to refer to her as at times. With Sakura already promising to give Ino a ride the two of them were free to leave without her following them around like she had been trying to do for the past month.

 

 

“Ok then” smiled Ino still looking slightly giggle happy “I guess we'll see you two later then.” And with that she left dragging Sakura behind her. However as he left Sasuke was almost sure that Ino had given the two of them a wink.

 

 

“Well then let's go bastard” said Naruto waking Sasuke out of his daze.

 

 

“Go where?” he replied dumbly.

 

 

“To get something to eat of course! I wasn't joking when I said I was hungry. In fact I'm starved.” The blonde emphasized this by patting his flat stomach with a pout on his face.

 

 

Nodding at the blonde and knowing of his infamous stomach Sasuke could only follow Naruto as the two made their way to Ichiraku's for lunch.
