The Nerd and the Jock pt 6

Naruto just stood there dumbfounded. Did he just hear Sakura correctly? Wait…then it dawned on him. He knew Sasuke's name sounded familiar! Sakura turned him down because of him! He smacked himself, how could he be so stupid?

Meanwhile Sasuke was having different thoughts. 'WHY THE FUCK IS SHE HERE!?!?' Sasuke was practically yelling inside his head. Sakura drove him nuts. Hell, he couldn't stand her.

"Well?" Sakura chimed. Sasuke shivered. Even her voice creeped him out.
"…I have more than plenty of people that I'm already helping."
"But Sasuke~Kun " she whined "I really need your help!" she then pulled out her wallet. "And I am more than welling to pay."
Sasuke groaned. This girl never knew when to quit. Naruto started turning around. He could not believe this was happening. But Shino pulled onto his arm to stop him.
"As Sasuke stated he has more than plenty of people he's tutoring. Me, Naruto…and Kiba, weren't you gonna join us?"
Kiba gulped. He didn't like the spot he was in at all.
"Well, uh, I-"
"Then why can't he tutor one more person?!" Sakura asked annoyed.
"Because that be one too many." Shino explained calmly.
Annoyed Sakura stormed off. Naruto stood there in silence.

"You shmuck!" Kiba yelled at Shino. "The hell man, the hell!"
"…well isn't this your fault in the first place? Why else would you be here?"
Kiba jerked. Yeah it kinda was his fault… and he did originally came to apologize to Naruto… but he sure as hell wasn't gonna admit that to THIS…uh, NERD.
"No! I…I came here to check out a book!"
Shino chuckled at Kiba's reaction. "…you read?"
"YES I READ!!" Kiba yelled.
"Ch, whatever." Sasuke started walking up to Naruto. "Let's start the tutoring."
But Naruto didn't move. This in turn made Sasuke worry. Naruto looked pissed.
"…what's up?"
Naruto clenched his fist.
"Are you two…going out?"
Sasuke just stood there speechless. Did Naruto actually think that he and Sakura-? Sasuke burst out laughing. Naruto jolted his head towards Sasuke.
"What's so funny!?"
"You're angry cause of that?! What are you jealous?"
Naruto blushed. Then Sasuke instantly stopped. That wasn't the reaction he wanted to see. "Your not…are you?"
Not responding Naruto bolted out of the library.
"Naruto!!" He was gonna go after him, but Shino held him back.
"If he wasn't gonna answer now what makes you think chasing him well? Sides-" He then turned towards Kiba. "We have all the answers right here.~"
"….I hate you."

Naruto ran all the way home. He was angry. He… didn't really get why. He knew he HAD liked Sakura but… didn't he already get over her? Was he really jealous? Just then his phone rang. He picked it up.
"…hello?"
"Hello Naruto."
Naruto was just about to drop his phone from shock.
"S-Sakura?"
She giggled. "Oh course. Who else would I be?"
"Kiba, Shika, Gaara…Ino."
There was silence before she coughed and changed the subject.
"Anyhow, I was wondering if you'd like to go out tomorrow."
Tommorow? Tommorow was a Friday so he didn't have tutoring…wait…
"Why?"
"Why not?"
"Uh, we're not even friends."
"What do you mean? How else would I've gotten your number if we weren't? You gave it to me, remember?"
"I also remember giving it to you hoping you'd call it to tell me if you wanted to go to prom with me, to not only get no reply but to also find out you went with someone else."
"…You still sore about that?"
"No, I'm mainly sore from the fact you never bothered to tell me that, that you told me you didn't wanna go out with me because of some person, who at the time, I thought you made up. Then the fact that you never talked to me since then. Hell, aside from today I haven't even SEEN you since then."
"Then all the more reason to go hang out. To catch up."
"Oh? Like how tutoring with me and Sasuke has been?"
Bingo. There was a long silence.
"Look, Sakura, I DID like you. Then you broke my heart…literally. So…I just don't want anything to do with you."
"…what?"
"Bey." And just like that he hung up and flopped onto his bed. Nope, he wasn't feeling jealousy. He was over Sakura. But…the idea of Sakura with Sasuke…made his blood boil. Why?

Sasuke was walking home in silence. Naruto liked Sakura. Sakura turned Naruto down to go after him. So what did Sasuke look like in Naruto's eyes? Probably a douche. Sasuke just felt miserable. He shouldn't of followed Naruto that day when he saw him running through those empty halls. He shouldn't of followed him through those doors and talked to him. Hell…he shouldn't of fallen for him. Naruto back then didn't even know who he was. But Sasuke knew him.

It started when he was walking home from middle school. It was a nice sunny day and he was just minding his own business, until he came across a few kids picking on a fox. It was a cub and was buried in the sand with only i's head sticking out. The kids were throwing rocks at it. Sasuke knew it was wrong but…those kids were huge… but then, he appeared. Naruto. Naruto had somehow managed to beat the ever living crap out of them, even though he was the same age and height as he was. He then digged the poor fox out and took it home while calming it. "There there, it's alright. Lets take you home and treat those wounds." Then Sasuke saw it. Naruto's famous smile. Whether it was the fact that he was strong or had a great smile Sasuke didn't know which made him fall hard for him at first sight, but as time went on, Sasuke started liking everything about him. Hell, he even choose to go to his high school and went to every game Naruto was in. Well, the football ones anyways, but if had known he played basket ball too he would of went. Sasuke had groaned. Why did the dope like someone like Sakura? Was it because…she was a girl?

"I'm home." Sasuke stated as he entered the house and took off his shoes.
"Wha-? Uh welcome home." His brother Itachi replied from the kitchen. "Don't you have something going on today…after school?"
"No."
Sasuke took a wiff and walked into the kitchen. Something smelt good.
"What yeah making?"
"Pasta."
Sasuke looked at him dully for a sec.
"…since when?"
Itachi sighed. "Since I have a date coming over."
"…SINCE WHEN!?!" Itachi was silent. That wasn't like him. "…who is she?"
"Well-"
"I'M HERE, UN!!" The door slamed open. "Are they gone?"
Itachi sighed. "Diedara come here."
Sasuke turned and made eye contact with a blond male which just shocked the hell out of him.
"Diedara this is my younger brother Sasuke…Sasuke this is Diedara…my boyfriend."
"Nice to meet yeah, un!"
Sasuke just blinked a couple of times, then turned to face Itachi.
"You're gay?"
Itachi gulped. He knew if his parents found out they flip and probably disown him. Hence why he waited tell he thought everyone would be gone to invite his 'date' over. But… he had no idea how Sasuke would react.
"…yes."
"…huh." Sasuke then went to the fridge and grabbed a soda then went to the living room. Now Itachi was blinking a couple of times. He didn't know what Sasuke's reaction was going to be but…he wasn't expecting that.

Itachi then walked into the living room.
"Are you…okay with that?"
"Do you need my permission?" Sasuke asked as he took a sip of his soda.
Itachi sighed in relief.
"Un! Dose Sasuke-chan have a boyfriend?" Diedara commented as he too walked into the room. Sasuke nearly choked on his soda.
"Deidara!" Itachi warned.
"What? I was just asking, un!"
Sasuke remained silent.
"…no."
"Oh? But from the sound of your voice…you like someone?"
Sasuke blushed and jerked his head in a different direction.
"None of your bees wax."
That however made Diedara as excited and cheery as a high school girl.
"Oh come on, come on! Un! What's he like? What's his name? Is he cute? Is he-"
"Oh dear god shut-up! I'll answer, I'll answer!"
Diedara sat down next to Itachi with a pillow clinched between his arms and chest.
"…His name is Naruto…he's…an idiot, but a nice idiot."
"Aaaw. Sounds so sweet and fluffy~"
"He's a jock."
"…Oh…jocks are so gay."
"Diedara, not helping."
Sasuke continued on "…and he likes girls…"
"…did he say that?"
"Well, uh, no. But…he did like Sakura."
"Ew, that pink haired check who stalked you all the way home that one time?"
"Yeah…and I think he still likes her."
"Aw, honey come here."
Sasuke walked over to Deidara and sat in between his legs. Diedara cuddled him.
"It's alright, there are other fish in the sea."
"But I don't want fish." Sasuke's eyes began to water "I…I wanted Naruto." Tears began to pour out of his eyes as Diedara began cooing him. Sasuke had never felt this hurt before in all his life.
