"GL,"
"Hn?"
"Dick or pussy?"
"What kind of question is that?"
"Dick or pussy?" Naruto emphasized again.
Hinata pumped her fist in the air and said, "Pussy for the win!"
And then it commenced. The circle of friends went around declaring which gender genitals they preferred. Majority chose the option that matched their own organ with the exception of the red-blonde who chose his and the female genital.
It was summarized that not one person in the group Sasuke was with was straight. He did not know if he should have been rejoicing or not. Quite frankly he himself had a feeling he was into guys so knowing that all his friends had the same issues made it easier for him to be comfortable. When it reached his turn he coughed harshly into his hand, averting his eyes while admitting he was gay. Sai patted his back and said that he expected for him to deny it. He wasn't wrong. Had everyone admitted to being heterosexual he would have dispersed his sexuality and told them he was like them. It would have been the same back while he was with his old trio Suigetsu, Karin, and Jugo. They were homophobic and it was painful being around them when they made their offensive jokes.
It was odd too considering Konoha High was open to the lgbt+ community. The students there were okay with literally everything but those three somehow were not part of the open minded student population. Sometimes Sasuke thought that maybe it was just Karin and Suigetsu who were the homophobes. Sasuke saw the way Jugo shifted every time the word gay was brought forth in any of their conversations. It wasn't only that but if he were to guess that Jugo was not fond of the duo like him, he would not be surprised. Jugo was a kind individual who just loved football. The couple did not deserve to have a friend with his demeanor. If Sasuke had decided, he would have ripped the tall orange haired quarterback away from those people, however, it was not his place to tell Jugo who he should be hanging with. Though Sasuke hoped that him departing would make something click within Jugo.
Sasuke stopped drowning in his thoughts when these words dripped from the Namikaze's mouth huskily, "Oi, Baby boy."
The raven's porcelain skin turned into a pink hue that was barely noticeable. He let his eyes wonder to the red-blonde in bewilderment.
"That took you long enough. Sheesh, what were you thinking so hard about that you did not answer to any of the nicknames I have given to you huh? And now that I called you baby boy you finally focus on me..." Naruto finished. He was seated Indian style, allowing his knee to bump against Sasuke's. They were under a large tree in the courtyard. The light seeping through the leaves hit the sun-kissed visage and because of this the three whisker marks that etched his face weren't as dark as before when it was plain shady.
Sasuke did not process what Naruto was saying and hummed in response as if he was.
"...baby boy," Naruto smirked when the tiny flush returned to the Uchiha's cheeks.
Once more it was hard to tell but Naruto could because he was just Naruto.
"Can you not call me that?" Sasuke huffed and turned his head away.
"Fam, I know you like that nickname. In fact, I ain't gonna call you GL no mo', baby boy is better a fit," Naruto stated as Sasuke faced him.
"Look Naruto every time you say it, it gets his attention!" Sai chimed in glee. He pointed at the raven and said, "Don't deny it, Uchiha."
"I'd rather be called Sasugay." Sasuke horribly lied and crosses his arms.
Hinata burst out in laughter, rolling on her sides. When she got a grip she laid on her stomach and swung her feet back and forth behind her.
She giggled. "To hell with your lies."
"Never knew you were the type to be kinky, Uchiha," Neji concluded making Sasuke gawk at him.
He tried to clarify that he was not into kinks but it was to no avail. Even Gaara mocked him about it which added to his misery.
He huffed and uncrossed his legs before hearing a sigh from Naruto owing to the fact that his cellphone went off.
Ooh, I know once you come to California
You will never look back
Ooh, just a little bit can make you wonder
You got-
The red-blonde stood up from his seated friends and the song was cut off. He tapped a feature on his device prior to bringing it to his ear.
Sasuke observed the flicker of emotions that crossed Naruto's face. It started with a friendly grin as he greeted the one on the other line to a whirl of worry.
Naruto ruffled his dyed hair and he took a shaky breath. "No, Rin why would I send her sick? If I would have known I wouldn't have brought her."
Sasuke wondered who this Rin person was and who this 'she' was.
"Her temperature is greater than 100 degrees Fahrenheit? That's a freakin' fever! Why didn't you call earlier?....Okay.....I'll pick her up," Naruto ended the call and slipped his device in the pocket of his ripped jeans.
Hinata sat up and looked at her best friend questionably.
"Something wrong with 'Kara?" She inquired with concern and everyone looked at Naruto.
He rested his weight on his right foot and said, "She is hella sick and I have to pick her up like right now,"
"Shit," Neji mumbled. He did not bring his car today, he rode with his cousin on her motorcycle. Gaara was dropped off by his older brother and Sai always walked to school. Who was suppose to get Naruto to pick up the sick child? Naruto could walk to the preschool yet walking Takara from there to home would make her sickness worse.
Hinata, Gaara, and Sai were thinking the exact same thing. If on cue, they all turned to Sasuke.
"Sasuke do you by any chance drive?" Sai finally asked.
The Uchiha explained that Itachi gave him the opportunity to take his car to school even though he was only seventeen and fortunately it was one of those days.
The red head bluntly demanded Sasuke to drive Naruto to where he needed to go and Naruto quickly declined.
"I don't want to force you Sasuke. It's okay I can walk to pick her up," Naruto announced seriously.
The raven sprung to his feet at the Namikaze's distress. He saw it linger in the sky blues.
Sasuke felt Gaara glare at him as if daring to let Naruto get to his destination on foot.
"You don't have to. I can take you to where you need to go, though I would like to know who 'Kara is," The raven suggested.
"It's his little sister!" The male Hyuga interjected hurriedly.
Naruto caught on and deceived, "Yeah..my sister,"
Sasuke hn'd and the gang followed him to his car. Excluding Gaara, who had claimed that he had a test for functions and applications halting him from going.
By the time Sasuke reached the road it had settled in that he was skipping.
Sasuke Uchiha had not once ditched a class in his life.
