Day 5 - College AU

SasuHina Month 2020

*Medschool AU

----

“I think a relationship is nice,” Hinata voiced just above a whisper. Her words hung low in the air, waiting for any response or anything at all. He heard her just as clear and she knew it. Knowing he was just too occupied on taking notes and eyes focused on the screen too much that he squinted occasionally, she started again, facing him this time, “What do you think?”

Sasuke was sitting in one of the chairs of four, with laptop only forty centimeters away from his eyes atop the dining table. A notebook right beside the laptop as he occasionally took notes. Her question came too sudden, but he heard her the first time. He was just trying to understand why would a cyst form in the ovary and all the pathomechanisms saved in his head were popped disappearing like a bubble once she broke the silence. He turned his head to look at her—sitting with legs crossed atop the microfiber rug before the black wooden table as her back leaned on the beige colored couch. It was supposed to be their living room but they weren’t ones to watch television so there wasn’t any and only the tv stand adhered to the wall in front of her. As the most spacious room in the apartment, it became the best place for them to study together with as much space needed individually. The living room was continuous with the kitchen with granite counter and the dining table—of where he was sitting at the moment—separated them. Despite annoyed with the sudden invasion, he answered without any interest.

“You aren’t interested in relationship,” he stated and waited for her with hard stare. He hoped she take the cue and just answer immediately to let this odd conversation end. He needed to concentrate for the damn cyst. “Or at least you weren’t.”

“I know and I still am,” she answered immediately, noticing the urge in his eyes. He looked tired, with dark shadow under the eyes and coffee ever present—she could only assume it wasn’t the first three cups. She actually felt bad for bringing up this unnecessary topic in the middle of their studying session—exams are getting near and they needed to study real bad. But she was just as tired as him, it was a half past two in the morning, they have class at eight, shouldn’t they just sleep already?

“But, what if?”

“Then, it is you to decide,” he replied tersely, still, uninterested.

“I need your opinion, dear Sasuke, why would I ask otherwise?” She was desperate for a break and she wanted to take him with her.

“Hinata, stop,” he tried, tiredness lingered in his voice, “I need to focus.”

“Well, me too! But—”

“What is this all about anyway?”

“There.. there is this guy,” she started, averting her eyes to look at Sasuke’s laptop.

At a sudden, Sasuke was intrigued to ask more. They never talked about relationship before, not even once. Well, once in the first year of medical school after watching a friend of her cried because of a break up, Hinata stated she really didn’t know why would anyone started a relationship in the first place and he agreed and that is all. So this was new to him, and he was always up for something new of his “flat mate” he gradually discovered over the years of knowing her. He was tired and she was too, might as well finished his study, converse for five minutes and sleep. Noticeably sighing, he turned off and closed his laptop then looked at Hinata with full attention. “At our school?”

Her face started to color in embarrassment. “I’m not telling—are you done?”

“Tell me then let’s sleep.” She wouldn’t put the talk away if she didn’t end up telling him. Knowing her for such length, he wouldn’t dare to answer otherwise or the conversation would meet to no end.

She sighed. “I was.. I just wanted a break, I needed to finish this one.” Then closed her laptop despite herself. She stood and stretched her legs a bit before pulling a chair opposite of Sasuke and sit there herself. “You know the guy. It would be embarrassing.”

“You know I won’t make any sound of it.”

“I know,” she said with elaborate end. Then, as if fearing anyone would hear—despite only two of them in the space—she murmured, “you know Gaara, right?”

The gloomy red haired guy with pale green eyes, Sasuke thought in an instant. He didn’t seem like the guy to go out. “He asked you out?”

“No!” she was utterly embarrassed, palms directed at Sasuke to shield herself or to give him the proper gesture of denial. “He asked me to have lunch together.”

“We always have lunch together,” he stated like it was the most normal thing. It was normal, at least for them.

“It’s different,” she said it more calmly now, “we just occasionally meet when grouped together, we barely talk! Then suddenly he asked me to have lunch with him.”

Something in Sasuke’s eyes changed. It turned into half bewilderment half uninterested—still. Hinata noticed, so she elaborate. “I mean it would be different than you, because,” she trailed off, because? “you are.. you.”

It was amusing because he never really thought about it. About them. He had known Hinata since first grade in high school when he moved back to Konoha with his family. He was the new guy in their high school and on the first day of him going to school, he only knew two person. Naruto, his preschool to primary school friend—before moving due to his Father’s work and Hinata, his new neighbor and surprisingly classmate.

Having to only acquaintance with only two person—in which he didn’t intend to have any addition—they grew together as three best friends, somehow. Probably because Naruto was someone to rely to—despite their opposite personality and Hinata was someone he could tolerate to and she was his neighbor so it was all convenient. Turned out Hinata’d had a crush for Naruto since middle school and she cherished the moments they could spend together—at least with Naruto. This was how the three of them became best friends.

How the two of them became even closer as best friends, however, started when he finally decided—at second grade—to attend medical school after finishing high school, just like Hinata. As he announced—more like stated to the other two—about his desire to attend medical school, her eyes lighted up. At the start of their third grade, she proposed to have him as her study buddy—more like mentor. It was brave of her, despite her shy nature. It proved him just how much she wanted to be accepted in one and not just any medical school, but the one his cousin had attended to, Konoha Medical School. She was just willing to try anything. She was just that determined. Deeming it would advantage not only her but also himself, he agreed.

They would study after school hours and the weekends, either at Sasuke’s home or Hinata’s, they switched fairly. It was always better in Sasuke’s home, where his mother would prepare snacks for them and observe them with self joy. On the contrary, at Hinata’s, every time felt too quiet. Her father rarely at home—he always spent most of his hours in the hospital and would only be home late in the evening, and Hanabi was just a sister with the same quiet personality as Hinata, albeit more daring. One day, she exchanged his textbook with hers—middle school one—and he could only cursed mentally as guilt-ridden Hinata offered to share her book.

Having caught up in his own reverie made Hinata think he was already somnolent but just too polite—or too proud—to admit. She slumped her shoulders before she stood up, this conversation was useless, she should knew better. Walking pass him toward her room, she gently touched his tensed shoulder. She could feel a slight flinch from him. “Forget it, see you at breakfast.”

Then she proceeded to her room and closed the door behind.

Not bothering to clean his belongings on the dining table, he walked to his room himself.

----

The sound of alarm dragged him out of his pool of serene darkness. Abruptly opened his eyes in subconscious shock, his hand creeping to the nightstand on the right side of the bed. As panic rush disappeared quickly as it had appeared, he turned off the alarm and check his phone for the time. Fifteen minutes past seven. He almost overslept. Yet he felt the need to close his eyes for another five minutes.

If there was any drowsiness left, a knock on his door woke him up completely.

“Sasuke, I don’t want to be late,” said the girl outside.

Grunting a response, he sat upright reluctantly. He then quickly made his bed and rushed to prep himself for school.

----

The ride to their school usually took fifteen minutes with car, today was no different. As Sasuke parked his black 99’ Corolla Altis, Hinata’s phone showed they only had five minutes to run to their lecture hall. Despite stated it clearly she didn’t want to be late, just like any other time, Sasuke ended up finishing breakfast just barely past twenty five minutes to eight, just like any other time. The morning routine was always started with a knock to Sasuke’s door before Hinata prepare breakfast—simple scrambled egg and toast or heating last night leftover and only cereals on the exam days, then Sasuke would join breakfast as Hinata finishing hers, do their dishes individually, and drive to school with Sasuke’s car. Hinata had started a talk one day about his too “punctual” nature, said she needed those minutes before the professor arrive to arrange her mind for the upcoming lecture, which to that Sasuke gave him a look of “just-use-the-damn-public-transportation-then”. Hinata could only answered him with “but-I-always-prepare-breakfast” look. Sasuke could only shrugged and Hinata didn’t dwell on the matter afterwards, she could just make Sasuke explain to her the things she could hardly understand.  

Arriving inside the lecture hall just barely before the professor, Sasuke chose the only vacant row—the front one—and sat at the most peripheral, Hinata followed suit and sat beside him. A couple more students rushed inside the lecture hall and a pink haired girl she barely recognized sat beside her. “This seat isn’t taken, is it?”

Hinata shook her head invitingly and mouthed a no as the professor started his lecture about anatomical pathology of breast adenomas.

“As you never disappoint me,” the silver-haired professor started, “I believe you’ve studied about the histology so we might as well skip that part—”

“What’s wrong with a brief review?” Hinata turned to Sasuke.

Sasuke shrugged and proceeded to extract last night notebook from his denim backpack. “I present to you Professor Hatake,” he mumbled apathetically.

Recognition of the name hit her. Eyes widened, she pursued further, “Professor Hatake? Then he is the professor in charge for your minor thesis, no?”

“—Fibroadenoma mammae is frequently occurred to early reproductive age—”

Still taking notes, he glanced with the corner of his eye to Hinata’s desk, she too taking notes diligently. This was one amusing thing about her. She would pay attention to the lecture with dear life yet occasionally converse to him casually, like both task was possibly done with equal attention. She wasn’t one to chat frequently, neither did he, yet when she did, it was always amusing—because it was always an unprecedented topic and time for her timid self—and he didn’t mind participating. Contemplating a nod wouldn’t be useful, he grunted in response.

Wasn’t impressed with the professor introduction, Hinata questioned more, “how is it going with your minor thesis?” Evidently concern-filled.

Sasuke exhaled visibly. Unfortunately, minor thesis wasn’t one of those unexpected topic. Hinata, as good-natured as she was, concerned about their minor thesis from time to time and occasionally asked about it to him. How he’d prefer to evade the inquiry was absolute. For the past two years as medical student—and currently running the third year—never did he felt unpleasant but the mention of minor thesis. He enjoyed studying medicine so far, enjoy might underrate his truly attitude toward the field, as apparently, he found himself couldn’t possibly imagine himself enjoying another field as he did now. But minor thesis was definitely put him to start questioning himself.

“I haven’t scheduled to meet him again,” he said, eyeing his professor. “Since..” Weird, he couldn’t remember the last time he face the professor.

“—Can anyone tell me the meaning of secretory change in lactating adenoma?”

The lecture hall turned quiet as two or three hands raised. “You at the front.”

It was the girl beside Hinata. The girls stood up confidently. “Thank you, sir. I am Haruno Sakura from Group 7—”

Hinata recognized her name and she suddenly looked familiar too. Then it hit her. “Isn’t she in the same group as you?”

Contemplating whether his notes was adequate, he grunted in response. Not interested to hear her answer as he and Hinata had discussed this the night before.

“I know!” she said triumphantly. “That’s why she was so familiar.” Then she remembered the topic about minor thesis. As much as she knew just how bad he didn’t want to talk about it—in this they have the same attitude toward the task though Hinata had a way of not showing it to him—she knew if she didn’t trigger him or anything, he wouldn’t pursue to do the task further, and the fact that his professor was the one giving the lecture right now, well, her anxiety only grow. She really wanted them to graduate together and Sasuke only need a little push to actually do it—albeit not too eagerly. “Since?”

There she went again. “Since I don’t know.”

“Sasuke,” Hinata started calmly and he knew maybe she’d expected much how he would answer. “It only means one thing.”

“I’ll meet him after class, satisfied?” She wouldn’t stop pestering him now or later might as well he do it now. She was just too stubborn on ensuring them to graduate together. It is unquestionable that he felt the same, he maybe just needed the little push, or he just enjoyed her pestering protests about his lack of zeal. It could be multifactorial, he reasoned.

“Okay, class is dismissed.”

“Sasuke!” Hinata squealed in surprise, “you must be quick!”

“Shit.” Sasuke hastily put everything inside his backpack. While doing so, Hinata eyed him expectantly.

“See you at the library?”

He nodded in a hast as he walked pass Hinata to go after Professor Hatake. He didn’t spare any time to check either Hinata catch his response or not, she wouldn’t be going anywhere but the library anyway.

Chapter 4: Be Alright 

Two Months Later 

She watched him slowly emerge from the ER.  He had the look he always gets after losing someone.  The bags under his eyes were deeper than normal, his scowling was ever more presence.  Sakura had watched him in the operating room and knew the exact moment it went south.  She could see it on his face.  Sasuke tore off the operating coat, throwing the bloody garment in the waste bin.  Tearing at his gloves, taking in a deep sigh, he braced himself against the wall.  Sakura came to stand next to him, gripping his hand.  

“After you tell the family, I want take you somewhere.”  He blinked back tears.  It was always hard on him when he lost someone with so much more life to live.  

“Alright, just let me change before we go.”  She nodded.  Sakura gave his hand a gentle squeeze before she left him to finish his job.

Sasuke sat outside of the ice cream parlor, his eyes gazing around at all the smiling families.  Sakura came back with two bowls, placing a smaller one in front of him. 

“You know I don’t like sweets.”  

“Well that’s why I got you a bitter one.  Coffee ice cream.”  She puts a spoon into his, before digging into her own.  The mint chocolate chip was what she needed after a long day.  “It’s just a small one.  Try it.”  Sasuke takes a spoonful, not hatting it.  

“You still owe me dinner.”  He grumbled, taking another bite.  Sakura licked her spoon, staring at the green ice cream.  

“You know, my first was a young teen.  16 year-old that thought she was madly in love and he wasn’t.  It was only my third solo operation.  We had realized too late, her body wasn’t taking the labor. I performed a C-section, but then she hemorrhaged.”  Sakura wiped away a tear, before digging into her ice cream again.  “The Grandmother still sends me birthday cards and photos of the little girl.  She will be two next year.  Anyways, after it happened, Tsunade brought me here.  She told me that at the end of the day you need something to cheer you up.  Or ever time you lose someone will stay with you to the next patient.  The weight will make you want to quit, and you won’t safe the ones you were meant to safe in the future.”  Sasuke took another bite, looking at Sakura smile into her own treat.  

“Is that why you’re hair is pink? To Cheer you up?”  Sakura shakes her head.  

“It’s a rare genetic mutation in red hair.  I was born with it.  My mom refused to let me dye it to be like everyone else.”  Sasuke reached across the table, taking a few strands in his hand.  

“I like it.”  Sakura felt a blush rise.  She smacked his hand away laughing a little.  

“Alright, arlight, sad time over!”  She stretched her arms, a yawn coming out.  “You ready?”  She nodded to his cup.  Sasuke looked down, wondering when did he finish his ice cream.

Sakura pulled out her phone opening he uber app.  Sasuke quickly noticed taking it from her before she could hit find a ride.   

“Come on, my car is just over in the hospital parking lot.”  He nodded to the parking garage two blocks down.  

“But you live the opposite way.”  

“Can’t defy me when I have your phone.” He teased, holding it up and waving it at her.  Sakura jumped for it, but he kept it away from her.  After a few more jumps, he finally handed it back to her, a small smile on his lips.  “Come on, it’s been a long night.”  It was only another 15 minutes before they were on road.  Sakura leaned back into the seat, turning the warmer on.  They were 5 minutes away, when Naruto’s name flashed on the dash board. Before Sasuke could deny the call, Sakura presses accept.  

“Hey Sasuke!”  Naruto’s loud voice echoed through the stereos.  “You driving?  I hear an echo.”  

“If you weren’t so loud you wouldn’t hear it.”  He turns down the volume sighing at his friend.  

“Anway, how was your daily date with Sakura?”  Sakura raised her eyebrows looking over at the driver  

“They are not dates moron.”  He kept his eyes on the road, not trust himself to look at her.

“Oh come on.  Do you know how hard it is setting you up with a girl? God, I mean you even took her home the first night-”  

“Goodbye Naruto.”  Sakura spoke loudly.  

“Wait-Sakura!”  His voice got three octaves higher, before Sakura ended the call.  Turning her gaze forward, she felt that sinking feeling come into her stomach again.  Disappointment of a man not liking you back, was something she knew all too well.

“I’m sorry about him.  He knows nothing happened that night too.  Hes’ just-”  

“Being Naruto.  Don’t worry, Naruto has been trying to set me up with his friends since high school.  Once he met Hinata, he wanted to ‘make it up to’ or something.”  

“Idiot has weird ideas.”  Sasuke pulled up to her apartment complex.  Before he could say anything, Sakura was out of the car, saying goodbye quickly.  He watched her go inside before slamming his hand on the steering wheel.  The feeling of rejection creeping into his mind.  Sakura made it to the elevator before she felt the same feeling, wash over her.  She knew perfectly well that Sasuke would never want a girl like her.  Not in that way, not in the way she wants him.

My Roommate Is a Mad Scientist

A/N:  “Cleaning up my drive and I found this” Genre: Comedy, Romance Characters: Naruto Uzumaki (High-school English teacher-28-)Sasuke Uchiha (Mad Scientist -unknown-)

Chapter 1  “New Building”

“Yes, I’m there”

…

“No..No, I don’t know if he is a murderer. Why?! Well, because it is rude to assume that! Dattebayo!”

Blue eyes widened in surprise, hearing his best friend tell him her weird conspiracy theory. Spoiler alert, it always ended up with the pretty blond dying.

“Sakura!” He interrupted her.

Not sure if it was because he actually started to believe her or if it was getting too weird.

“It does seem like a sketchy neighbourhood, but...Like..How long can I crash on your couch?” He sighed deeply looking at the old apartment block. It had graffiti on the walls and the car parked nearby had no tires. A loud noise was heard from the dumpsters next to the building, causing the blond to go directly into defence mode.

Defence mode meaning he yelped and took a step back while holding his hands up as if he was a ninja.

“Naruto!” The woman on the other end of the line shouted.

“NOTHING! IT’S FINE! IT’S TOTALLY FINE HERE!” Naruto shouted at his smartphone.

He put his phone in his pocket and swallowed. Desperate people had to take desperate measures. He took a deep breath before walking towards the apartment block. He looked at the names and it seemed as if they were randomly picked from a phone book. He shook his head before ringing the number that was written on his hand, but before his finger even touched the bottom the door automatically opened.

“Holy moly” The blond looked to see if there were any cameras that could have perhaps seen him, but there were none he could see.

Maybe it was coincidence?

Naruto walked inside, seeing a “defect” sign written on the elevator.

“This is not my day...Week...Month..” The blond smacked his cheeks trying to get himself out of his trance.

“Yes, look at the bright side...Free cardio-workout!” Naruto smiled as he headed to the staircase. That smile soon disappeared when he reached the fifth floor. He was panting when he looked down the stairs.

“...Keep..Positive….” He panted. He opened the door and looked back at the elevator. Suddenly there was no sign there anymore? This floor seemed to only have one door.

He knocked, but didn’t get a response. Suddenly Sakura’s theory appeared back in the blond’s head. A slight panic arose...What if she was right? Damn he should have never looked for an apartment on the dark side of the web!

He started knocking louder.

“Hey! Mr. Tamihashi! It is Naruto! Uzumaki! I am hopefully your new roommate!”

No response..

“Uhm...It is fine...I will..Just...Keep looking-” The door got pulled open and the blond had to take a step back.

“Oh..Uhm...Hello?” Naruto waved awkwardly looking at the young man in front of him. His hair was messy, he had dark circles under his eyes and pale skin that it almost seemed he had died weeks ago. But above all that...He wore a lab coat.

“In” The man sounded grumpy.

“Uhm...Is it alright if I just...Text my friend real quick-”

“You texted your friend the address?! “ The guy seemed pissed. “That shit is confidential!” He threw his hands in the air before, grabbing Naruto by his arm and pulling him inside with one powerful jerk.

For a guy who seemed to be nothing but skin and bones..Naruto was impressed...and scared. He almost tripped over his own feet, but managed to regain his balance. He looked in front of him. The image caused his jaw to drop.

The outside did not match the inside at all. It was beautiful. He could see his reflection on the marble floor. The interior looked expensive and  Naruto was afraid to even put his cheap jeans on that white leather couch.

“Were you followed?” The guy was pressing some buttons on a security system.  

Naruto woke up from his thoughts. Nothing made sense to him. Why did the apartment block look like a dump. Why was the interior so expensive? Why was the rent so low? Why was this paranoid guy wearing a lab coat?

“Oh no...Are you going to human centipede me? ”  Naruto looked the man dead in the eye.

The raven’s expression didn’t change. Maybe he was always frowning.

“No” He answered.

“Are you going to kill me?” Naruto asked.

“No, but don’t be mistaken..I can kill you anytime I want” He looked at the watch, typing something...It was probably a smartwatch.

“I find digging graves to be very hard on my back” he added before looking at Naruto.  “Take your shoes off and take a seat”

“Oh uhm...Sure..”

Naruto untied his shoelaces and put them right next to the door. He sat down, taking a deep breath.

“So-”

“I am the one asking questions here” the man groaned.

Naruto nodded.

“But-”

“What about shutting up do you not get?”

Naruto pretended to zip his mouth closed.

“Name?”  The raven asked, grabbing a clipboard.

“Naruto...Uzumaki”

“I said name..Not surname” The man threw the clipboard on the table. “It is very simple. I ask. You answer. Nothing more.Nothing less. Got it?”

“Aaahh~is that a trick question, Mr. Tamihashi?”

“Who the fuck is Mr. Tamihashi?!” The guy was not shy showing his anger.

“Your...Name..You told me that was your name”  Naruto was confused. He saw the raven’s face turn from angry to just serious.

“Oh..Yeah...Right…” He cleared his throat.

“You used a fake name?” Naruto swallowed loudly.

“It is the fucking internet Naruto Uzumaki. No fucking idiot is going to use his real name on the fucking web!”

“But I...Facebooked you..I friended you”  Naruto looked legit offended. He put his hand on his heart.

“That is not even me, that just some software I made so all my fake profiles look like legit people with legit sofi numbers in the legal system so it won’t backtrack to me”

“Are you...Wanted?” Naruto asked carefully.

“Idiot, of course not. Those who are wanted were caught” The raven tapped his forehead.

“Ah...And..Uhm...What illegal activities are we talking abou-”

Naruto hissed in pain feeling the clipboard hit his head. He rubbed the sore spot, looking at the Raven.

“I. Ask. The. Fucking. Questions” the raven sat down on the armrest and folded his legs. “Age?”

“twenty-eight “  Naruto sat up straight and smiled kindly.

“Get that stupid smile off your face” Sasuke hissed, “What do you do for living”

“I am a teacher”  The blond looked proud.

The raven raised an eyebrow and leaned slightly in.

“What university?” He seemed so serious.

Naruto laughed, putting his hands up in an innocent way.

“No, no I  teach high school English. At Konoha High”

“Ewww”

It was hard not be get offended by that respond.

“Hnn..Why did you respond to the add? You must be in some pretty shitty situation” The guy sat straight up.

“Holy moly! Are you some sort of psychic, dattebayo!”

The frown was back on the guy’s face.

“Handsome blond responding to some creepy add on the web for some cheap ass apartment...That still hasn’t ran away. Behold my psychic powers”  

The guy didn’t seem to be able to tone down the sarcasm.

“Oh, you think I am handsome. How sweet of you” Naruto ran his hand down his hair,smiling kindly.

“How shitty are we talking?”  Now there was an amused look in the dark eyes. He must be a sadist.

“Oh...Where do I start” The blond rubbed the back of his neck.

“Well, I have been in a very serious relationship for almost eight years and...Well, one day I came back from work and she was….uhm….”

“Boning some other guy”

“Actually...It was a girl”  Naruto looked away.

“...And you didn’t join them?” This raven seems legit when he asked the question. He shook his head  “You have failed the porn-industry”

Naruto looked around the room. Not sure how to respond to that.

“Go on” The guy said impatiently.

“So...Things were tense and I went to my friend’s house for some...Space...This turned out not to be solved with...Space...Instead...She took all my money, sold all my stuff and...Moved away with her new..Wife..”

“So when did this all happen for you to be so open-”

“Three weeks ago” Naruto looked at the rug, soon the smile appeared back on his face as he looked back at the man.

“Well, we had some troubles. It is good she had the guts to end it. I did not. She deserved better. I am sure she had her reasons and...Maybe one day she has the courage to talk to me again. Say what are you writing down?” Naruto cocked his head slightly.

“Low self-esteem,no back-bone, idiot” The raven read out loud.

“That is ...Not nice” Naruto sighed. “Should I just go? Or are you going to take my kidneys first?”

“No”

“No to ‘I can go home’ or no to the ‘are you going to take my kidneys’ ?” Naruto looked scared.

“How good are you in the kitchen?” the raven asked.

“Uhm...Well..I used to cook every day. It is calming. I like baking-”

“How good are you at cleaning?”

“I don’t like it, but somebody has to do it” Naruto smiled, “the friend I am crashing at is pretty messy”

“Hnf” the raven stood up.

“You know why the rent is so low?” the man asked.

“Because you are a good person….” Naruto answered honestly.

The raven’s looked up and started laughing hysterically before his face turned emotionless.

“No” he responded cold

“Of course you don’t, you are an idiot” the raven said, “It is so low because you are working a part of the rent off. By cooking for me and cleaning this place. Just...Keep me fed and clean up when it is dusty. In return.. “ The man didn’t finish his sentence as he indicated to the penthouse.

“Are you serious?!” Naruto couldn’t believe what he heard.

“Yes, the building is partly yours as long as you keep your end-”

“building?!” Naruto asked shocked.

“Yes, but you only have to keep the penthouse clean though. That the part I live in”

“You own this entire building?!”

“yes…I hate neighbours” This guy was making no joke. “I will do everything to prevent the awkward eye-contact and fake greetings”  The guy stood up and grabbed a set of keys from his pocket.

“Love thy neighbour is pure bullshit” He threw the keys towards Naruto.

“Wait wait...What is your name?”

Naruto didn’t get an answer when the guy disappeared behind the door.

Alternative chapter 1

When we look back at our past, we believe the small things don’t matter. The results would have been the same either way. But it is the small choices we make in the heat of the moment that can set a chain of reaction of events that haunt us till this day.   On a certain Saturday night, a night that has become so unimportant in the history books of most people, even for those who were there that night played a key part in their lives, they can’t recall the exact date. But that doesn’t count for all people.   Naruto recalled that night, like it happened yesterday. How the police car appeared down the street, how one adolescent ran, warning the others down the street that the cops had arrived. How they all ran away. The blond could recall his every step that night, to the point an officer grabbed him from behind and pushed him against a wall. How he felt the panic rise and impulsively pushed his elbow in the old man’s ribs and turned around punching him right in the face. That punch has hurt his hand badly, but at that point the adrenaline was rushing through his veins and the only clear response coming from his brain was to run, and he did. He heard footsteps behind him. He ran inside an ally, but it was a dead end. The wall was tall and he already knew he couldn’t climb it. He turned his head around, the footsteps were getting closer and out of desperation, the blond just hid behind the dumpster. Everyone with a good set of eyes could have see him. He was done for...he knew. Not only was he a minor  in possession of drugs, he also punched an officer. His mind could already imagine his parents hearing the news. How disappointed they would be...his mother would cry and she had every right to. Naruto had supportive and kind parents and yet...he made all the bad choices. There was not even a reason the blond could hide behind, it was his fault, his stupidity...it would wind him in some youth prison. “Was it worth it?” Naruto kept wondering himself this question a lot of times, but that night, he had come to an answer. It wasn’t. He heard the officer enter the alley, he had a gun. He was aiming it right at the trashcan Naruto was hiding behind. The blond looked at him, right in his eyes. The officer was young...too young. He didn’t look much older than Naruto was. But there was a world of difference between them. The raven lowered his gun and then put it back in the holster. “Uchiha, did you find the suspect? Over” The sound came from the walkie talkie. The officer grabbed it, his eyes narrowed while they were still looking right in Naruto’s. “I lost him”  He responded, “Heading back, now, over” Naruto remembered seeing the officer walk out of the ally, hearing the walkie talkie say something about “Sasuke, losing your edge suddenly?” And some small laugher. He knew a few things about that man. One, his name is Sasuke. Two, his surname was Uchiha.  Three, he had given Naruto a chance. It was like he held a mirror in front of him. Of what he has become...of the mistakes he had made and...what he wasn’t. He woke Naruto up. The blond got up from behind the trashcan and stared at the spot the Uchiha stood ten minutes ago. He reached in his pocket and looked at the bag of weed. The blond shook his head and threw it in the trashcan. That night he came home to his distressed mother that had stayed up all night, worried about her son. She just looked up at the door while Naruto had his eyes fixated on the ground. He kicked his shoes off and looked up for a mere second. “Mommy-” His voice broke as he embraced her in a hug, bursting in tears. “I am so...so...sorry...Mommy…” He repeated that sentence several time. Naruto had came to remember the night he left his old troublesome self behind and promised to become a person worthy to face Uchiha Sasuke one day and thank him for what he had done that night. That day had come sooner than Naruto had anticipated. A year had passed and the Uzumaki was in highschool now. A couple of days had passed, the exact amount of time the blond couldn’t recall. But he remembered opening a door and it hit somebody that was passing by in the face. The guy fell and the back of his head hit the fire alarm. The siren was echoing loud through the halls. Naruto immediately checked on the man that was on the ground and the moment his eyes fell on said individual, his heart skipped a beat. “I am fine, I am fine!” The raven rubbed the back of his head with his hand and looked up, his eyes widened slightly and Naruto thought he might have recognised him, but...that wasn’t quite it. Suddenly, the sprinkles turned on and Naruto could hear the raven curse under his breath.The blond extended his hand to the guy. “I am so sorry…” He couldn’t find the words to say at that moment. How do you thank somebody for practically saving you? “Sasuke...Uchiha Sasuke”  It seemed the raven had believed the blond was waiting for him to fill the gap. “Naruto, Uzumaki Naruto, dattebayo!” Naruto scratched the back of his head. In between the time that had passed, the raven looked exactly the same as Naruto had remembered him...and yet...so...different. That Saturday night, the night that had changed Naruto, it was a night Sasuke had mostly forgotten. He only remembered making his way back to the car, but he heard a cry in the park. It sounded like somebody was getting beat up and being the good person he was. He headed towards it, witnessing three people beating a middle-aged man. Sasuke headed towards the scene, without back-up, he knocked two out and cuffed the third. He had helped the man up. He had grabbed the walkie-talkie asking for assistance. He kneeled in front of the injured man and remembered talking to him. However, he couldn’t recall the exact words. Some officers appeared in the park, one of them called out for Sasuke. Saying his full name, speaking of his father that was chief of police. All the information that same man the raven had saved, used it to stalk his saviour to the extend he was desperate enough to get his hands on his hero by murdering his father in cold blood in an attempt to grab Sasuke and have some happy ever after in his sick mind. That attack that had caused his mother to lose her mind and commit suicide. The night that lead his life to fall apart. All of that was the result of one blond, troubled, kid that had impulsively punched an officer  and ran away, instead of holding back and accepting the arrest. A lot of things would have had a different outcome if one small alteration happened. If Naruto hadn’t punched Fugaku almost four years ago... Oxoxoxxox Blue eyes looked outside of the window. The threes were moving at such a speed, the only thing Naruto could see was the green colour. He leaned his chin on his knee, reflecting on what happened and what was exactly going on. His mind seemed to miss the point every time he thought about it. He was on a bus, filled with all kinds of minors that had gotten caught for the...pff...Naruto had lost times of the nights he had spent in jail and was dragged to court. To be a 100% honest, he wasn’t sure what he had exactly done this time. He had shoplifted more often, he couldn’t remember a day he didn’t have drugs with him, alcohol or gotten himself in any other kind of trouble. He hadn’t changed a bit after that night, four years ago. When he we caught for possession of drugs, but lucky for him.At least he wasn’t charged with assaulting an officer even though the blond was very close to punching the officer and running for it. His eyes widened slightly seeing a police car pass the bus. Right, combine a stolen car and a credit card that clearly wasn’t his. Maybe there were more things that Naruto couldn’t recall, but he knew one thing. Besides the fine he had the pay, the community service he was required to do. They also send him to a ‘rehabilitation camp’  so he could ‘reflect’ upon the ‘path’ he was taken. When those words were spoken Naruto thought he was just going to visit some stupid prison where the inmates try to scare him...well, he had been there twice now and both times had been proven to be useless. However, this wasn’t some stupid youth program or visitation. He was send to this ‘military camp’, it had something to do with discipline, but the only thing Naruto thought was that it was a waste of tax money. Poor suckers. He looked around him, there were about 25 people. Some looked not a day over 15, others looked about 21. “Uzumaki, what is up with that look?” Naruto didn’t look at the guy in front right away. “Nothing, dattebayo”  He sighed as he leaned back and closed his eyes. “Man, you scared or something?” The guy chuckled, but shut right up when Naruto opened his eyes and looked at him with a look the guy got to know as the look you don’t want to get from the blond. He swallowed and looked away. “Sorry” He muttered under his breath. “I miss my gameboy, that is all” Naruto said. The bus took a turn and not even twenty minutes later, it stopped. Naruto shared a look with the guy in front of him. “It is like camp, really…” The guy said, it seemed he was trying to make himself feel better. “I didn’t go to no stupid camp, dattebayo” Naruto stood up and was the first to step out the bus. He examined the location before seeing a man stand there. Their eyes met immediately and it felt like karma finally caught up with the blond. Naruto had a cocky smile on his face as he looked at the man he knew to be the chief of police in Konoha. “If it ain’t chief Uchiha” Naruto looked behind him seeing the other people step out. Some of them he knew, other he didn’t. “You know him?” A young man asked. “Yeah, he arrested me like…I lost count, dattebayo” The words sounded almost proud. “How is the wife?” It seemed Naruto was just trying to get under the man’s skin, but it didn’t seem to work. The man looked at his phone before turning his head to his right. “Utakata, find out where he is right now, will ya?” He handed his phone to the man that was rather handsome. Utakata looked at Fugaku’s phone and nodded. “Yes, sir, leave it to me” The man jogged off, but Naruto managed to catch a glimpse of what appeared to be smirk. It was odd, what would he even be smirking about? But then again, it was a grown up man that apparently had nothing else to do but to supervise this stupid program. No surprise there. “Damn, that booty” A girl bit her bottom lip, looking at Utakata run. “Really? Appears kinda flat to me” Naruto ran a hand down his hair, “Girl, you need glasses” “Ooh, did I ask for the golden opinion of the white boy here?” The girl gave him an arrogant look before mocking. Naruto sniggered. “Oh, I am heart broken, I have been working on my tan, dattebayo” Naruto laughed, lowering his eyes to the girl’s butt before smirking slightly and walking on. “Now it is clear why she thought his flat ass was worth a one syllable ‘Damn’” The guy next to Naruto whispered, causing Naruto to chuckle. Fugaku was giving this big ass speech, but Naruto couldn’t focus on his words. He was too busy getting familiar with his new surroundings. It was all this new stuff that he just couldn’t let go. “You are already slacking, punk!” Naruto looked up at Fugaku, indicating for him to follow the group. He jogged after them until he caught up. It was a long walk towards the camp and everybody was already sweaty when they arrived. The high temperature and the burning sun was the worse enemy right now. The Utakata guy was standing there, holding a list with the bunk assignments. He whispered something to Fugaku before both nodded. “Listen up!” The guy shouted, followed by some bullshit talk about rules and bunk assignments. Naruto turned his head, seeing an army vehicle approach. He narrowed his eyes. He noticed that the man had stopped talking and everybody’s eyes were now on the vehicle. The driver hit the breaks and a young man stepped out. “Thanks, Kiro” He said to the driver, before slamming his hand on the bumper, “I didn’t know you guys even managed to get lightweight tactical all terrain vehicle here” “Chief has his ways” The driver answered. The young man turned around and this was the first time Naruto managed to get a good look at him. He was slim, but well trained. His abdomen was trained well. His skin was very pale and Naruto could see some strains from what appears to be sunscreen.   The young man took off his sunglasses. If the blond wasn’t sold by the black booty shorts and the dark green crop top, he was now by those almond shaped eyes with thick eyelashes. “Da-amn” The guy next to Naruto whispered. “Yeah...a two syllable damn indeed” Naruto examined the stranger, from the back boots to the milky legs, to those thighs- that the blond could only assumed had the potential to break his neck- all the way to his neck where a choker was wrapped around. Naruto bit down his lip, seeing how a drop of sweat made his way over the young man’s jaw line. How could he ever envy a sweat drop that badly? “He is hot” Naruto whispered. “Daddy~” Naruto smirked.   “Yeah, he can call me da-” He stopped muttering the moment his eyes witnessed the worst and most gruesome sight he had yet to see in his life. He saw the hottie walk towards Fugaku and hug him. “No…” Naruto looked shocked, “It can’t be” “Son-”  Whatever Fugaku said slipped passed Naruto. All he could hear was the confirmation that this sexy beast was indeed…Chief Uchiha’s son. “Bye, ye boner…” Naruto muttered, lowering his head. “Sasuke” Utakata smiled when saying the name. “Bubbles, it has been forever” Sasuke walked towards Utakata who almost too eagerly wrapped an arm around the youngster.   “Too long” Utakata said. Naruto could see the man’s hand slide down his waist. He couldn’t blame the guy, he would have done the same. “Are these the Konoha trouble makers?” Sasuke skimmed the group before his eyes got caught in Naruto’s. “This ought to be fun” He said, “And who are you?” One of the younger members asked. “It doesn’t matter who I am, to you, I am the devil-”  Sasuke stopped talking hearing Naruto chuckle. “Something on your mind, blondie?” “Owh...I just thought that...well...somebody who calls himself the devil wouldn’t have to apply sunscreen, it is ironic because...hell is a pit of fire and it seems, you can’t take the heat...and get burned, dattebayo” Sasuke opened his mouth to say something, but his eyes turned confused which then started looking moody. He shared a look with Utakata who remained quiet before looking back at Naruto. “You want my comeback?” It didn’t sound like a question. Sasuke walked towards Naruto and with one simple move threw his body in the grass. Naruto hissed, not realising what had happened. He felt a pain in his back followed by a pressure on his chest. He looked up seeing Sasuke’s foot on the spot. He was putting some weight on it, but not a lot. The raven looked down at the blond. “What's funny is how you’re about to get ROASTED!” He pushed his foot on his chest before hitting his stomach and then resting it on his crotch.  “You piece of scum, you are already on naughty list”    Naruto scoffed. “I don’t want to jinx stuff between us, but...I am enjoying the naughty list this far” Sasuke shook his head and it seemed he just couldn’t believe the blond. “I was gonna call you blondie, but I figure dumbass fits you better, you are idiotic to believe I would ever sink that low” “I see it now” Naruto had a cocky look on his face, while Sasuke seemed confused, “The family resemblance” “You...dumbass” Sasuke rolled his eyes and removed his foot from Naruto’s crotch. “Hey, I never caught your name” “Because I didn’t throw it at you” Sasuke said. “Puns? You truly are like your dad” Naruto got up from the ground, “Though, I am glad you take after your mother...obviously” “You talk too much, give me twenty-” “I can get you finished in two minutes” Naruto tried to lean slightly in, but Sasuke took a step aside and pushed his elbow in Naruto’s back, forcing the blond on the ground. “Push ups, give me twenty” Sasuke said.  Naruto frowned, looking from Sasuke to Utakata. “Okay, who are you again, dattebayo?!” “The devil, now stop being a fucking useless cunt and give me twenty! All of you for that matter! “ Sasuke shouted, looking around the group. All of them dropped on the ground right away, not willing to pick a fight with the Uchiha. “And you can thank this usuratonkachi for it” Sasuke said calmly before squadding down next to the blond. “Hell has begun and you are my bitch now” The Uchiha whispered. “With that choker on, you might want to take back who the bitch is”  Naruto smirked satisfied, seeing once again an expression of hatred in the Uchiha’s eyes. ==special thanks to @failureoftheyear for editing==

2 Sides- chapter 1

This is a story i posted on fanfiction a few days ago, thought i’ll share here too.

Every story has 2 sides.

XXXXX

Sasuke POV

Maybe he was right, maybe I was out of my mind, somewhere along those lines I realized it at that time too, that’s why I was so close to leaving, I got up but my eyes never moved from the back of your head. Suddenly you got up as well and decided it was time for you to go too. Even then I knew your name, I heard people saying it now and then but I didn’t know you, you didn’t know me. For some time then I was always trying my best, I was going out of my way to see you, of course never up close, not close enough to hear what you were saying but close enough to see your smile. Sometimes I could see you looking at me, at least it looked like that to me, our eyes would meet for a second and you’d smile, maybe that’s what got my attention in the first place. A drunken and genuine smile from a stranger, but I’ll tell you about that later. As I was saying you were onto your feet and walking towards me, well the door, with each step you took closer my mouth became drier and the urge to order another drink over came me, so instead of going out the door I walked in front. That’s when we passed by, so close, that was the closest I ever got to you, our shoulders did not touch but I saw you shaking, your smile was absent, I watched you from the corner of my eye and my eyes lingered on you a moment too long. I noticed the small frown, the way you bit your lip, the way your legs were slightly trembling, I wanted to take your hand and watch you closer I wanted to notice every single detail, of course I didn’t.

My first impression of you was that you were intimidating and radiant, but being so close to you made me see all the insecurities, the low self-esteem, you were so small and paranoid looking over your shoulder because you felt someone looking at you. Our eyes met for a second before you turned back and with slender hands opened the door.  I didn’t like that expression, you looked hurt.

xxxx

The café where all of this happened is ‘Café Noir’ (it means Black Café just in case you didn’t know that) it’s not very big, if you’re not looking for it you might miss it, the 2 buildings near it are tall and grey colored while the Café is small and on the outside the walls are a soft brown, the windows are big but on the outside they are mirrors while from inside you see everything that’s going on outside (I don’t really know how to describe it better but you’ve been there, you know it). I like to go here because it’s 15 minutes away from the park which is 5 minutes away from my apartment, also it’s on the way to the Campus so that’s a win-win. From the Café to the Campus where are most of the Universities in the city it takes around 12-16 minutes if you walk and 4-5 by car.

xxxx

After a few days when I was walking through the park I saw you running my way, actually jogging. You noticed me, I’m still not sure why you did what you did…was it the smirk on my lips that scared you? Did you find is strange how we met so often? Well, either way you took a sudden turn to the left and were gone. It was fun watching your ponytail swing from left to right, I liked the way your hips moved and you had a very nice ass in those leggings. We both know I stopped and started at you until you were very small into the distance.

xxxx

It didn’t take long for us to meet again, this time it was in front of the Art University, you didn’t seem to notice me, you were very focused on something in your notebook. I couldn’t pass you by without saying ‘Hi’. I stopped in my place a few steps in front of you and I was waiting for your respond that never came, you didn’t even looked up from your notebook but you smiled and that was enough for me so I started walking again, this time I made sure my shoulder brushed yours. From your back, my front someone came running, wind waving in her long hair, eyes pointed at the back of your head, smile cheerful, this young woman was fast indeed. I just blinked and she already passed me, I looked over my shoulder to see her jump on your back and both of you crumble to the ground, she laughed you looked at me and a slight blush covered your cheek before you looked down sheltering your face with your long straight bangs. Ino, I should thank her, later on she was a great help.

xxxx

As I said the Campus was a rather large part of the new town, most of the Universities were there, some small shops and of course the dorms, you lived in an apartment close by.  I will explain who goes to which University later, when more names come into the story.

xxxx

I’m not someone that liked to talk about my…feelings? But I did tell my friend, my brother, about you. Naruto, he was rather shocked and excited when I started talking about a girl that I had an interest in, well all of that changed when I told him your name. The spark that was forever present in his eyes died , he looked sad, at that time I didn’t understand but I didn’t bother to ask either, somehow I am grateful. Maybe if I knew the story from the beginning, before anything happened I would have given you up.

The mood changed rather fast and Naruto started blabbering about Gaara, another of our friends from a different city, one year younger, that would finally move in Konoha next year to start University here. Somehow the conversation turned to ramen and lunch, so we decided to go out and eat. In the middle of the park there are a few food stands, one of them is a ramen one, which Naruto loves and I don’t really mind. At the park, you were there, Naruto stiffened but I didn’t see it, I didn’t care at that moment I saw you and you alone, I find this strange now, you had my full attention without even trying. I walked up to you, you were on the swings.

Your beautiful lilac eyes started up at me for a moment before once again they fell to the ground and noticed the small movements of the grass. I just looked at the top of your head and smiled, if someone told me I’d be so close to you I would have smirked and walked away thinking to myself ‘freak’ but there I was. You seemed so out of reach yet you were so close. I wanted to say something but Naruto cut me off with one of his loud and careless shouts.

“Hinata!”

You looked up at him with fear and I just wanted to do something very childish, pull your hair, I couldn’t help but chuckle at my grade-school thoughts. But you didn’t look at me and that bothered me, of course I grabbed your hand and forced you to come near. But the swing came to me and then backed away, came to me and backed away. I just watched it for a few moments.

“Hi”

Your beautiful eyes were wide but you smiled at me I’m sure I grinned at you because your face turned red in matters of seconds, the swing was moving closer to me then further, you were again eyeing the ground…I wondered if there was something I was missing out, I meant to ask, to talk to you…a lot, but Naruto just came and started to drag me away while shouting an apology to you. I was confused, I was further away from you each moment.

I sighed in frustration, Naruto always was positive and let me do whatever I wanted, but this time he was a huge obstacle and I wanted to smash his head to the floor and go back to the blushing girl. You didn’t even know my name…

xxxx

For almost a week I didn’t see you, but when I did you were with him, a tall male, someone I vaguely knew, someone I didn’t like, someone who’s name I can’t remember. You were laughing at him, your hand on his arm he was looking at you. I know we weren’t even friends but just that gesture of you showing your perfect white teeth to another male made me feel so betrayed. This male was someone that didn’t fit in a picture with you. Shino! I think, I remember later on Kiba brought him to my house once, I don’t recall the reason…he’s not someone I’d usually see you with, you didn’t match, he was too…anyway you just looked off next to him. I was so annoyed I almost walked over to you and push his arm away, of course I didn’t, I would have scared you off. So I just watched you and him for a couple of minutes to see the way you interact with him. No matter what you were doing, how hard you smiled at him the two of you were different.

Your hair was long held in a high ponytail your bangs were framing your face, a loose purple shirt was shoved messily inside your shorts and looked way to big on you and dark purple sneakers while he had sun glasses on a hoodie and long jeans, different styles, different worlds, seasons, centuries, stories. He had nothing to do in your story, not from my point of view, I was getting madder by the moment and with each second your hand stayed on his I felt this great pain.

I was just about to leave when I heard a conversation between girl and her mother, both of them were  walking, strolling though the park. ‘Mommy, look look a couple!’ ���Misa! It’s not nice to point’ her mother blushed and started walking faster after she noticed me looking. Really I tried to leave, I did but I was glued to the ground. I sighed and sat on the bench my back at you. The laughing stopped and I looked over my shoulder, he was leaving while you were waving and going in the opposite direction, towards me.

Our eyes met and you seemed…annoyed ? Maybe I was wrong about you, maybe you weren’t small and paranoid, maybe my first impression of you was accurate.

“Hi”

You stopped in front of me hands on your hips looking natural, my eyes moved from your toes to your head a few times before I got up. Well you were quiet short your head reaching just my chest, you looked in my eyes for a second before turning your head to the left watching some kids play, it bought a smile on your face.

“Hi”

This time you seemed more confident and again your watchful eyes were on me.

“Sasuke”

I just whispered my name and waited for you to understand, of course you did. A hand traveled to your eyes and covered them, you looked tired, but the smile was still in place.

“Sasuke…We met awfully often lately”

“Aha” I just nodded and my phone rang, wonderful I wanted to crash it to pieces but decided to just let it ring. Your hand moved and you gave me a perplexed look and the same slim hand gesticulated to me to answer, I didn’t. A thin brow rose before you started giggling. Your head fell to the right giving me the opportunity to see your slender neck, my eyes traveled to your ear then eyes, nose, mouth, the corner of your lips twitched .

“You’re…staring”

“I am”

Once again your brow rose, we were awkward, but it felt nice, a sigh escaped my lips and my phone started to ring again. This time I looked at it and saw who was calling  ‘Sakura’. I noticed you were looking too and your eyes widened.

“You…know her?”

I just nodded and you seemed puzzled, confused, I still don’t know why. For a moment I thought you hated Sakura, or that you were some kind of ‘rivals’ but looking at her name the sad smile and the insecurities in your eyes returned.

“We have a lot of common…friends”

I just looked at you. You were so different a few seconds ago, you looked just like when you left the café, when you saw Naruto. I sighed and pressed ‘answer’

“Sasuke, finally”

I couldn’t talk to her not with you looking at me like this, so I didn’t say anything but we both know Sakura, she’s a talker so I’m pretty sure she didn’t notice.  Sakura, another person I’m supposed to say thanks to.

“—Naruto said that, but he’s Naruto so is it true ?”

Your eyes were watching me, my every move I could see your eye twitch when I moved the phone from an ear to the other, I could see the fear on your face when you heard her voice, I remember we met a few days after this, just the two of us and I meant to ask you about what you feel for Sakura, but I forgot…in time I understood what was there. Going back on track Sakura stopped talking waiting for my respond to whatever she asked…I still don’t know what she said, I was too focused on you to hear her. I just hung up, your mouth slight open in shock and once again you looked at the kids playing.

I didn’t know what to say, what to do…but you started to walk away, should I have ran after you ? Because I didn’t, I let you leave. In the next few days we met at least once a day but you never said anything and all I did was greet you, we were always around…’friends’. Spring was almost over and summer was coming fast, I had exams to focus on, you did too.

xxxx

It was Wednesday when I had my last exam and Naruto and Kiba told me to go out and drink the stress away that weekend. We used to go to this club, K-9, since the senior year of high school, it was fine.

As I promised, I guess now would be the perfect time to say who goes where. We were in our first year in college, I was at police academy with Kiba while Naruto was at law school, you were at both Art and Foreign languages, English to be exact. You never had time, always here or there yet everyday you’d walk to clear your head or run to keep in shape. You were busier then Ino and Sakura and they were at Medicine and I’m sure everyone heard rumors about how hard that is. There will be more people in the story but there’s no need to rush.

Anyway you were there at the club, you looked different from ‘the you’ I saw in the park and when I stalked you, it was just like in the café, you were so strange and I never tried to figure you out. I was just…attracted to you, I just wanted to watch you from afar, that was at the beginning, soon watching wasn’t enough, I wanted to talk to you, to touch you, make you laugh. Even so I’m pretty sure somewhere along my stalking routine I put a label on you, a big fat ‘MINE’.

You were just with Sakura, both of you wearing dresses, too short for my taste, too tight for it to be comfortable to breath, heels too high, I’m sure it hurts to walk on them. I saw the discomfort on your face, I watched you and I never saw you dressed like that…Sakura? Yes I expected that from her.

“Sakura-chan!”

Naruto’s voice rang in the room even above the ridiculous loud music, you stiffened just for a moment, I saw it. Your eyes met mine and once again you seemed annoyed, I smirked at you and you actually rolled your eyes.

“Oh right, Sasuke-kun, this is one of my friends Hi—“

“Hinata”

I finished it for her, Sakura’s eyes were wide open. But she didn’t look angry like she usually does when I talk with girls she was just surprised but her eyes softened and her question was pure curiosity.

“How did you know?”

Whatever Sakura felt for you, the petite girl from our group, was anything but bad, and Hinata, your eyes were on Sakura a lot, I saw you stare at her, checking her, almost like you were scared she might disappear and each time when you realized what you were doing your gaze would drop and you’d be looking at your feet like they were your worst enemy. It was funny.

“We’ve been bumping into each other a lot lately”

I finally answered Sakura’s question.

“That’s wonderful!”

Sakura said cheerful and took your hand and gave it a light squeeze. All of us sat at a table, Sakura introduced you to Kiba and the night started to go normal, Naruto and Kiba were fighting about something I didn’t care about, while Sakura was ordering some more drinks.

“Hi”

I said and you looked at me so…strange. Your eyes showed you were mad but you were smiling so beautiful I’m still not sure if you were annoyed with me or whatever.  Nothing special happened that night actually, that’s probably because Sakura was always talking to you and Naruto with Kiba were pulling me now and then in their fight, but it was relaxing.

Xxxx

As I said K-9 is a club we used to go to, the owner, Kakashi, is a rather strange person, he always has a mask covering his face (in high school whenever we played truth or dare the main dare was ‘Take Kakashi’s mask off’ none succeeded) also he was kind of lazy and most of the time reading porn. The club looks small from outside but when you come in it is large.

In the back there are sofas and a few tables, to the left the bar. In the middle there is a big open space for dancing, to the right are the bathrooms and a door that goes to a smaller dark alley. It is quite popular.

Hinata’s POV

For some time now I could see you looking at me…just looking, from time to time. Our eyes would meet and I’d smile, this person, you were such a mystery to me. I didn’t know your name, but I already felt like I knew you. Last time we met I caught you staring at me in the café. I saw you also when I was running, I panicked so I took another route. I felt your eyes on me, Sasuke…and I’m not going to lie… I loved it. Would you watch me run again…sometime? Maybe that’s not fair to ask, but things are always easier said on paper than face to face.

xxxx

Anyway…Next time we met it was in front of my Art Collage, I saw you from a few meters away…you didn’t see me so I acted like I was reading something and I was also praying hard for you not to notice the notebook was upside-down , we passed by and you stopped and said ‘Hi’ I smiled at you…not sure if you saw it or not, but the fact that you started to walk again told me you did. Our shoulders brushed and honestly I wanted to stop and talk to you. A few seconds later Ino came running to me, we both fell to the ground she was laughing but I noticed you were watching. God, I felt so embarrassed I wished the ground would suck me in.

Ino noticed my gaze and gasped. She knew you…didn’t she ? Ino never said it herself…I was just assuming. I found out from Ino that Gaara and his older sister Temari would be coming to Konoha in a bit, both of them were my friends since I lived in Suna for some time, I guess you could call them ‘childhood friends’ for a moment I felt hurt, Ino knew that they were coming yet neither of them said anything to me.

xxxx

Shino, my best friend and I were supposed to meet at the central park and go to watch a movie or something…he ditched me. This kept happening more often. I was sad…I missed spending time with him. The time when for the first time I saw you close at the café I was waiting for him as well…for 2 hours. It’s been 30 minutes now only. But it was Shino…he was never late. It’s either he’s on time or he’s not coming at all, still I waited. I closed my eyes and listened to people walking by, talking, kids playing. It was a lovely sound. To be honest I was cold…it was only the middle of spring and the wind was still strong. It was way too soon for a skirt.

But could you blame me? It looked…nice. I liked it. I opened my eyes and watched the clouds move in the sky, it was wonderful. Temari used to do this a lot, she told me the person she has a ‘thing’ for does it and she picked it up. I was on one of the swings, I was moving slowly. It was peaceful, for a moment I almost forgot about the fact that my best friend ditched me…again. I decided it was time to leave but something in me didn’t want to move. I was sure it was hope…that Shino might turn up, right now I’m not so sure, maybe it was fate. A few more minutes passes and suddenly someone was shadowing me, so I looked up…and met your eyes. I felt like smiling, a dumb smile so I averted my eyes and set them on the ground. I counted to ten, waiting for you to say something but the first to talk wasn’t you. It was Naruto, his friendly loud shout was disturbing to me, it didn’t fit the picture.

When I looked up he was there indeed, blue eyes, tan skin, blonde hair and a huge grin. He was smiling at me, I felt like crying. Naruto was a dear friend of mine…but being around him was awkward for almost 4 years then. I’m not sure what expression I had on but I bet it wasn’t nice, Naruto’s happy eyes drifted away.

Suddenly I felt your hand grab mine, the swing moved towards you, and then back, for a moment we just looked at each other. 1…2…3 ‘Hi’

“Hi”

The same exact time, you said it exactly when I thought you would, the exact same way. I bet I was blushing so I once again found the ground interesting. I was waiting for you to say something but the warmness on my arm disappeared…Naruto was dragging you away while screaming an apology. I opened my mouth a bit and whispered a small ‘hey’ before getting up and leaving, I had been waiting enough.

xxxx

Next time we met…I’m not sure you know we met. It was 2 days later. You were at the movies with this older male I didn’t know. He looked slightly like you. I can’t recall the movie…no, I wasn’t watching it. I was looking at you. I felt fascinated by just looking, and a part of me hoped you felt the same when you were watching me a few weeks back. Whenever the light of the movie changed your face looked different.

White: it made your pale skin look translucent…ghostly, the light was reflecting into your onyx eyes. Your hair was in a small knot, you looked like a samurai from old times. I was a few rows behind and to the left…I actually wanted to get up, bend and touch it, I didn’t, I’m clumsy you would have seen me.

Black: I couldn’t see you very well, just the outline of your nose and lips. Is this how you look with the lights off? In the dark…your eyes were actually looking grayer. Eyes darker than yours, older met mine and I’m sure I blushed. Thank god it was black. I found out moments later that it was Itachi, the man near you, your brother. Didn’t he tell you I was staring at you like a freak ?

Red: Your eyes…I was looking only at them, well as much as I could. Devil. That was the first thing I thought about, the red light made your hair look pure black, face reddish and your eyes, there was a fight, the outline was black then some red again black it looked fascinating, this time I didn’t even see your brother looking at me, I didn’t mind him.

The movie was soon over. I have no idea where you went off to but I bumped into Itachi. He looked down on me, he was taller then you by a few inches and my head reached only his chest. His eyes looked me over. He was similar to you, just the tanner skin, the 2 wrinkles near his nose and the longer hair in a pony…but similar. His smile was nice, not a grin like yours.

“Young miss”

He’s voice was deeper, well I only heard you whisper ‘hi’.

“Young sir”

He chuckled and rose a brow, maybe he wasn’t expecting me to answer? Who knows…Itachi was , is and will always be a question mark to me. Going back on track he just bowed his head before whispering ‘brother’ and leaving. I was hoping for a name…after all I didn’t even know your name yet.

He looked like you, acted similar…brothers. I smiled and moved on.  

xxxx

A few days later I met with Shino near the park, he didn’t ditch me this time…well not really. We were supposed to hang out, drink some coffee or something but after talking for half an hour he had to leave. I decided to walk in the opposite direction. That’s when I saw you, looking over your shoulder at me, all I could think was ‘Stalker much?’

I walked right to you. You looked so laid back, both arms on the backrest, head bend a little so you could look up at me, one eye closed and smirk on place.

“Hi”

That’s all you whispered before you got up. Damn you were so tall, I had to look away not to be intimidated by your height and I copied you with the small ‘hi’ then turned my eyes back to you, before long you whispered something else.

“Sasuke”

I don’t know if you saw it but I was happy, your name! Finally. I covered my eyes in an attempt to hide my joy even so I couldn’t help a smile.  

I said your name ‘Sasuke’ and I wanted to say something else but I stopped for a moment just to feel your name on my lips.

“We met awfully often lately”

You nodded and your phone started to ring…you didn’t answer. I send you more signals to answer but you just ignored it, I couldn’t help but giggle. That’s when you started to stare at me…my face.

“you’re…staring”

“I am”

Your answer was so short and fast, you were so confusing…but I enjoyed it. Your phone rang again and this time you looked at it…’Sakura’ my blood froze, you knew her and Naruto and Ino (I think…or did you meet her later?)

“You…know her?”

Those words escaped my mouth before I could even think.  You nodded and I smiled…a broken smile. I loved Sakura but…I really wished you wouldn’t have known her.

“We have a lot of common…friends”

I said this while you answered and placed the phone to your ear, I don’t know if you listened to her but you were staring at me again and I did as well. You moved the phone from an ear to the other and I could hear Sakura’s voice. She asked you something but you didn’t say anything actually you hung up. I was shocked and once again you intimidated me so I looked away.

Neither of us said or did anything so I started to walk away…I thought you’d follow me and we’d take a walk. You didn’t move…I was a little sad to be honest. I wanted to talk more, you were interesting.

xxxx

We didn’t meet for some time, it was the end of spring and the beginning of the summer and every student knows what that means…EXAMS! God I hate them. Anyway, I was attending 2 universities Art and English so I had more exams then any of you. Oh right the Universities are like this:  Ino and Sakura- Medicine, you and Kiba- police, Naruto and Shikamaru-law, Shino-science, Neji (my cousin who is also in his 2th year) and TenTen (his girlfriend)-martial arts (sport), Gaara-design (Gaara didn’t start yet but designer is what he was aiming for and of course he got in) and Temari- college for the firefighters (none saw this coming!) After my last exam Sakura invited me to go out with her. She also insisted to go to her house earlier and get ready together. Big mistake…Sakura is a dear and I love her but…her way of dressing is not really…comfortable.

She gave me a deep red leather dress, strapless, short and tight. It has a zipper in the front, just pull that and it’s no more. A pair of black 6 inch heels. Also my pink haired friend did my make-up, crimson eye shadow and lipstick and just the ‘right’ amount of eyeliner and mascara…She wasn’t dressed in something a lot different. Her dress was pale pink tight and cut on the sides, she was showing way too much cleavage…anyway, we got to the club and people were dancing, drinking and sweating. Thanks God we sat down because my feet were killing me, anyway all of a sudden 3 boys come in, I could see Naruto from miles away, blonde hair, blue eyes and neon orange t-shirt. You were right behind him.

I felt so…bad! I actually wanted to cry. YOU were there! Dressed like any normal person would and I was dressed in something less than a towel, actually I think I saw a hooker wearing something more decent. But you smirked and I could actually imagine all the jokes and images going in your brain…’Men’ I rolled my eyes.

Sakura wanted to introduce me but you said my name faster. Until then you never said it…I never told you it, I just assumed you knew. Sakura seemed surprised, I watched her and I actually wanted to move but damn those heels!

“We’ve been bumping into each other a lot lately”

“That’s wonderful!”

Sakura said cheerful and took my hand and have it a light squeeze. I felt bad…again.  The next few minutes were blurry, I was introduced to the third male as well, Kiba. I heard you whisper ‘Hi’ while Sakura was ordering something to drink.

Only when I heard your voice did I snap out of my ‘daydreaming’ do you know what I was thinking about, what I wanted? I was praying to be back in that park. You on the bench me looking at the kids playing and not a word being said. But we were here with loud music I never liked or bothered to listen, it was just background noise, it smelled of marijuana and I’m pretty sure somewhere in the corner someone was throwing up. K-9 was…a small(?) club where even high schoolers came, that’s when I realized that this world is so screwed, from the corner of my eye I could see a hooker flirting with a teenager, she was around 32 and he was 17. All of that was rather disturbing to me.

I looked back at you and smiled. Sakura started to talk to me, I didn’t listen I couldn’t. Not with you there looking at me, not with that smile on your face. I wanted to get away. Almost the whole night I found myself looking at Sakura from time to time wishing she would offer me an explanation to why you and the boys were there, but all I got from her were shallow words. I haven’t been in the same room as her and Naruto for a really long time and it was awkward. All of a sudden I hated that place, the dress felt tighter the heels more uncomfortable so I decided to drown in alcohol. With each glass I became dizzier but so did you. When we left…Naruto had to drag you out. If the circumstances were different I would have laughed but I felt sad.

‘They have made it through less than one week of living together and here's Tobio, standing in the doorway of their cramped bedroom, the question on his lips about going out to grab dinner dying a violent death as he catches sight of Hinata standing in the middle of the room and twisting his lower half in place to survey how he looks in a skirt.

A skirt. Hinata is wearing a skirt.'

Whatever Tobio thought he was signing himself up for, when he agreed to room with Hinata in college, it wasn't this.

"Kageyama is pretty. It’s just a fact, something Hinata has grown accustomed, like how Tsukishima is tall and Suga is nice and Tanaka is loud; Kageyama is pretty. He’s never really questioned it, either, because lots of things are pretty - flowers, and sunsets, and his mum when she wears her hair all sleek and straight and lines her lips in red and the point is, pretty isn’t weird at all.

But what is weird, very weird and very not normal and probably very not okay, is the fact that Kageyama is really, really pretty and it makes Hinata want to do things."

' “Starting tonight. You—” Daichi says, pointing at Kageyama, “—will be giving him—” he points at Hinata, “—racing lessons.”

Kageyama looks like he has swallowed ten lemons. Hinata, on the other hand, is just baffled.

“Wait a minute,” he asks. “Why is he giving me racing lessons?”

“Because I am absolutely, without a doubt, a hundred percent, better at racing than you are,” the mechanic replies bluntly. “And even if you race every day for the next decade, and I go blind, you still wouldn’t be a better driver than me.” '

All Hinata has wanted his entire life is a racetrack under the wheels of his car and a crew at his back. When he's offered a spot with the crew of Karasuno Auto Shop, he could have it all. There's only one thing blocking his path to the starting line: an absolute(ly smoking hot) asshole of an auto mechanic by the name of Kageyama Tobio.

(i’ve clearly spent to much time in the weird parts of the internet because i felt the urge to clarify that with the “car sex” tag, i meant that they have sex inside of a car, not with a car)

'Kageyama is relatively sure that the creature in his bed isn't human, but he doesn't know what it is, either. But this is not why he suspects he's dreaming.

He thinks he must be dreaming because the thing, whatever it is, is impossibly, breathtakingly beautiful. The little arched eyebrows and upturned nose and small, pouty smile on its face have his breath coming short; and the way it'slooking at him, like it's thinking about devouring him whole, makes him want to run and hide, or drift closer and let it happen, he isn't sure which.

Even without any previous experience, Kageyama knows what it wants. But no one has ever, ever wanted that from him before.'

--

A boy and a demon may know very little about each other, upon first meeting. But what they can't say in words, they make up for with sound and light and touch; and maybe, they learn by taking each other apart, before they piece one another back together again.

When Axton and Gaige bring a scarred, Eridium-addicted Timothy Lawrence back to Sanctuary, he agrees to tell his story, from the moment Athena left him in Jack's hands on Helios to the very last thing he remembered before waking up in the Crimson Raiders HQ. After that, it's a matter of healing and coming to terms with what happened to him at the hands of Hyperion, but that's a long, dangerous road to trek down, both mentally and physically. Friends new and old are there to help him, but they can't hold his hand forever. With the threat of a war looming on the horizon and Hyperion gaining wind of Timothy's location, it's only a matter of time before things take a turn for the worse.

legit one of the best fics i’ve ever had the pleasure of reading, i kid you not. it is long, plotty with beautiful characterisation and character growth. it deals with some seriously dark topics, but it focuses strongly on the healing aspect. also, one of the very few times flashbacks are handled so damn well you barely notice them.

Yuuri has been learning to reach out for what he wants.

(Yuuri is not used to having power, being strong. He’s used to feeling weak. He is used to being told what to do and doing it, and Victor has unlocked something vital and feral inside him; he’s made Yuuri into something new, or maybe Yuuri has created it himself with his inspiration. In any case, he’s not interested in unraveling now into the sweet, pliant thing Victor is used to, the shy doll, whimpering and soft, from their previous times together. Suddenly, Yuuri doesn’t want to be coached, doesn’t want to be patronized. He lets his body make a decision, for perhaps the first time in his life.)

“You seduced everyone out on the rink today,” Victor whispers, lips still brushing against the back of his hand. “Everyone was enthralled. You were amazing. Stunning.”

“And you?” Yuuri asks, not because he holds any kind of doubts about how Victor felt about his short program —he can still feel the searing heat of Victor’s lips on his, like a brand, invisible on him, burning in the best ways, reminding him of how Victor will always meet him where he stands, even if he has to run for it, work for it, grow for it— but because he loves knowing Victor is amazed by his skating, by him, and he’s greedy about the feeling he gets from that knowledge.

The problem is the amount of porn Bucky managed to write and draw about Captain America before finding out that he's less than one degree of separation away from Steve Rogers. 'Less than' as in he's sitting across the table from him.

Sometimes though, they forget that they're princes. They've always been taught how to act royal so they never embarrass Thorin too much or make it awkward for him politically... But they grew up as exiled princes, they grew up learning trades and working for money and rolling up their sleeves ect. Sometimes they forget that they're not in the little village they grew up in.

Primula was red-faced and exhausted by the end of the birth, and if she made a rude gesture at her husband and turned away sleepily, well, the midwife had seen worse.

So Drogo was left holding the baby in bemused confusion. As new parents are wont to do, he counted all the toes and fingers, marvelled at the child’s eyes, and then set out looking to see if there was yet a soul mark on his son’s skin.

There was.

The script was all long tails and swoops that ended in jagged flicks with characters that seemed more made of unpronounceable accents than actual letter, but the hand that wrote it was smooth and practised, almost mechanical in its precision.

"Curious," said Drogo, peering at the mark upon his thigh. "I've never seen anything like it."

The midwife seemed baffled by it, too, and when Primula woke he showed her and then they were three for three.

He’s really, truly glad no one in their class has a mind-reading quirk because from the minute his feet touched warm sand, his mind has been screaming in tune to the same famous classical overtures Tenya listens to when they study together.

Maybe it’s how unattainable he seems. Maybe it’s how fucking straight he seems, but after every mission he gives Keith this look, running his eyes up and down Keith’s body and giving him a tired, happy smile that makes Keith’s abdomen flip up and over inside.

It’s difficult to tell how long after, especially when there’s no clock and the only others who could really tell what time it is don’t use the same system, but days, cycles, hours, ticks, or whatever later, the dynamics between the paladins shift from communal to familial.

Or, the team has sleepovers and work through their issues together as a family.

http://archiveofourown.org/works/7811833    Last One Home by nawsies     6k, Lance-centric, minor keith/lance, isolation, 

After being flung through space Lance ends up alone at the far reaches of the galaxy waiting for a pick-up. It'll be a long time coming, but hey, at least the atmosphere wasn't 10% heroin.

"Sometimes Lance would sleep in Blue, her quiet whirring similar enough to the sound of the castle he could lie to himself, say he was back on board the ship and he’d wake up to Hunk’s cooking and Pidge’s latest invention...Lance enjoyed people, he enjoyed making other people happy and his own company was never as good as another person’s laugh at his joke, or even at his expense. The Paladins were the best people he’d ever met, family excluded, and he missed them more than he cared to admit. He’d been away from Earth for a long time now but it was only since landing on this planet that he really felt like he was away from home."

Being a paladin of Voltron is honestly the coolest thing that ever could've happened to Lance, but the people who should know probably never will. What could his family possibly think of him being gone for so long? But he can't think about them. He can't. He has to defend the universe and apologize to Keith for being a dick to him. Again. And, holy crow, is Keith checking him out? Please?

"He leans in to hook his arm around Keith’s shoulders in full. It’s right in Keith ear, when he speaks. “I have a crush on someone new, like, every week.”

“No—it's not someone.” Keith brings his head up, and it feels as heavy on his neck as if it were his center of gravity, and he meets Lance’s eyes with his own. Keith doesn’t mean to communicate something through their silence, he just kind of gets caught up in staring at Lance’s face, which tends to happen lately. Sharp features, cheekbones and chin. Impossible eyes and a loud mouth as expressive as his eyebrows. But Lance seems to come to some understanding on his own. He sits back in a rare, rare moment of speechlessness, that mouth of his slightly pursed and twitching in its search for words in what can only be, though Keith doesn’t know much about body language, immense confusion on the brink of realization."

Or: Keith acknowledges his feelings for Lance and promptly goes through the five stages of grief.

http://archiveofourown.org/works/8581786     you had me at merlot by DJalien    17k, AU, Keith/Lance, alcohol, 

“Oh my God,” Lance says as he covers his face. Keith’s tinny voice blares from his laptop speakers: “What do you call a fake noodle? An impasta.” See, this joke might have been funny if someone charismatic and charming had said it, but Keith’s flat voice and even flatter expression effectively kidnaps, tortures, and then decapitates any chance of it being remotely humorous.

--

Keith accidentally starts a YouTube channel. Lance, of course, refuses to be left out. It goes about as well as you'd expect. (Ft. copious amounts of wine and a truly shameless number of references to MyDrunkKitchen, DailyGrace, and general pop culture)

Lance loses his leg during a mission and it takes a toll on the team, especially Keith. Except Keith begins to develop feelings for Lance during his time alone thinking.

http://archiveofourown.org/works/8693962    Expecting the Unexpected by Anonymous    6k, Pidge-centric, oviposition, egg laying, pregnancy, giving birth, 

Team Voltron come across a peaceful, non-humanoid alien. Sadly, it's dying, and it has one last wish: it wants to lay its eggs in someone's uterus so its unborn children won't die with it. That's how they always reproduce, by laying their fertilized eggs in a willing host. Pidge agrees to go through with it.

http://archiveofourown.org/works/8384884    Crossing Lines by Methoxyethane    12k, Keith/Lance, a/b/o, omega!keith, beta!lance, UST, slowburn, 

Okay so in retrospect, sitting outside of Keith’s door while he was in heat was not Lance’s best and brightest idea ever. But Shiro was the damned alpha round here and if HE refused to do anything when Keith was suffering so much… Well Lance just couldn’t leave him alone. It wouldn't have been right.

hooooly fuck this is right up my alley and i am a dumpster. UST perfection.

http://archiveofourown.org/works/8262017    Magic Me Some Love by KaSaPe     143k, AU, Keith/Lance, galra!keith, panic attacks, violence, 

When Shiro's arm gets cut off while he is trying to protect Keith, Keith doesn't see any way to save his life but to break into the Galra's castle and steal some of their magical medicine. But nothing goes as planned and when he exits the castle empty handed he is cursed to look like a Galra until he accepts his halfbreed status. He is convinced that he has condemned Shiro to death - and then he learns of a magician that might be able to help just in time.

Meanwhile Lance didn't expect a Galra to turn up at his door, demanding him to save his half dead (human?!) friend. And he certainly didn't expect to fall in love with him either.

http://archiveofourown.org/works/8836030     of friendship & accidental dick pics by kagshina    6k, AU, Keith/Lance, high school, sexting, 

Lance shakes his head, “You send a guy one dick pic and suddenly you’re best friends,” he mutters.

(Or, to Lance’s misfortune, there’s not a guidebook on how to act around your new friend who used to be your rival and totally still is even though now you kind of definitely want to kiss him.)

Pain along his wrist fizzled into existence and then, like a switch, exploded. Saitama stumbled back, fighting the urge to shout, and waited for it to fade.

“What—sensei, are you all right?!” Genos was staring at him incredulously, his mouth agape.

“It’s like I said,” Saitama said, rubbing his wrist lightly. “Something’s happening to me."

http://archiveofourown.org/works/6492796     The Apron by Bloodsbane    18k, Genos/Saitama, pining, UST, clothing kink, domestic kink, 

Shit.

The word buzzed around Saitama’s skull like a mosquito, one he truly had no chance of squashing between his fingers.Shit, he thought, observing his disciple/roommate/best friend as he scrubbed furiously at a spot on the floor with a rag. He was on his knees, bent forward slightly, putting all his weight into removing an ugly soy sauce stain.

The straps of the apron fell as if to purposefully frame his ass.

Fucking shit.

Dragons have returned to Skyrim, but the hero of legend is nowhere to be found. There were stories, three years ago, of his emergence and incredible strength - until, one day, he disappeared. The dragons remain, and now there are only rumours - rumours that the Dragonborn hides from his destiny, that he became a nomad to live in peace and anonymity. There are also rumours of a traveller, a powerful fire mage and conjurer who came to Skyrim in search of revenge.

“Well— I just….” Another deep breath. “...I just can’t…do it.”

“Date a man?” Genos’s heart deflated at the prospect, hoping his sensei would make this rejection quick and painless. “…A cyborg, none the less?”

“Wha— NO! I mean…Oh fuck, listen, Genos. I’m just going to say this once. I like you— a lot actually…but I just.” His sensei took a last deep breath calming his nerves while Genos’s core stood still.

“I just can’t get it up, okay?”
