Chapter 1:

Something heavy leant against the main gates of Konoha High School. Big drops of rainwater hit the person's golden hair as they fell from the growling, cloud-covered sky. The golden hair was matted down against his forehead as he allowed the storm's wind to toy with his wet locks. His body trembled against the cold, as he clutched the jumpsuit closer to him, squeezing his cerulean eyes shut in hope of blocking the morning's chill. It had yet to strike 7 in the morning thus indicating why the sky was so dark and gloomy despite the rain. But despite the situation, he stood by the gates, which offered no shelter, waiting. Waiting for him.

It was moments before 7 in morning, when a slender, imported, posh car pulled up at the gates. The unique car halted, its engine's hum soothing the young boy. The car glimmered against the rain and the street lights making it look classy as the car screamed out experience in the most obvious ways. The door opened with a crisp click, a buffed shoe stepped out before the whole body immerged. The boy was dressed in a crisp piece of school uniform, which looked as if it had never been touch before. The boy slung his school bag over his left shoulder before slamming the car door shut.

The new arrival's eye shot a piecing glance at the drenched boy though his charcoaled colored eyes. Such intense gaze, made the younger boy blush as he looked down to hide his tinted cheeks. The glance had made him uncomfortable. He looked so odd standing in front of the raven, as his hideous jumpsuit looked unworthy in front of the other's fresh uniform. Unconsciously, his hand slipped into the unruly mess of hair, trying to tame after comparing it with the raven's gelled and styled hair.

The rich boy did not give any further attention to the blonde boy as he headed into the school building, to prevent himself from getting wet. As soon as he stepped into the building, the blonde boy followed like a loyal dog. It had been like for this for a the past few months as the blonde boy would wait for the raven, once the raven arrives, the raven would walk into the school with the blonde following with a word and they would head to their area, where the raven would grab the boy's collar and slammed his lips against the other's.

And this was exactly what was taking place in their area. They were pressed up against each other, limbs entangled, lips connected. Their kisses would become deeper, more intoxicating and more exciting by the passing moment, until they had to break free to become acquaintances with oxygen again. They came up for air, their faces flushed and a hue of pink decorating their cheeks.

After their little act of affection and adoration, the raven placed his heat-radiating palm on the younger boy's cheeks gently, stroking it slowly while talking to him in a hushed voice.

"Why were you standing in the rain?" the raven questioned the blonde, who was now clad in his school uniform after throwing away his jumpsuit which he was wearing over his uniform.

The boy being questioned simply shrugged in reply and snuggled into the raven, absorbing the heat that the boy gave off, soaking it up greedily, in order to cover himself from the cold that the weather brought. The raven sighed, a warm smile spreading on his stoic face due to his young lover's antics.

"I have to go now, Sakura is waiting for me," the dark-haired boy explained, breaking their contact with each other. The light-haired boy whined in response but before he could protest the older one fixed him with a glare which said that he did not need that right now.

The raven exited, but reluctantly, without sparing the blonde another glance as he mixed into the crowd. The blonde followed the suit moments later, trying his best not to look suspicious. He also fell in the crowd of students that had arrived since they had been occupied. The blonde noticed from the corner as his lover exchanged words with his fellow friends as a pink haired girl latched on his lover, engaging his hand in a death grip. The blonde growled in his throat as he prevented the green monster of jealously coming out of its lair as he tried to focus on something else other than the fact that his boyfriend was holding hands with some girls.

Yes, it was true, the raven was the blonde's boyfriend but it was not a fact that everyone knew about. It was secret between the two lovers. His boyfriend was known as Uchiha Sasuke, studying in year 3, graduating in nine months, and a much respected student of the student population as the class president. If anyone was given a chance to be anyone they would want to be, Uchiha Sasuke would not fail to top the list as he had what every student would want. As a student, Sasuke excelled in every subject, getting distinctions in every topic, and as a sportsman, Sasuke worked hard until he managed to clinch the position of the school's soccer team's captain. Sasuke also came from a prestigious family, where he was raised in a nurturing environment. Wasn't he the dream guy of every girl, a role model for every boy? Apparently, quite not. The only thing that refrained him from being perfect was the fact that he was in love with a male drop out of the school.

The said drop out was none other than the boisterous Uzumaki Naruto, studying in year 1, graduating was far from his goals as he successfully managed to fail every subject available. Despite his lack of interest in studies, he wasn't much of a bad player when it came to soccer but he low grades and results prevent him from getting into the team. Naruto was also the one of average looks and had a hard time stealing hearts unlike his heart throb boyfriend, who broke and stole hearts with his little pinky. Naruto came along with his bubbly attitude but despite this benefit, he belonged to the outcast of the school due to his orphaned state. However this was not the only flaw that the blonde had but also the fact that he was in love with a popular guy who was 2 years older than him.

However, both had set aside all odds and brought up the guts to confess. After the successful confession, the boys secretly dated, not wanting anyone to be aware of this as they knew this relationship could cause a lot of damage, mostly to Sasuke, who had a reputation to manage and girlfriend to take of care and not only that, his parents would never allow such a thing. But despite the challenges the boys had made it this far before being caught and tried to remain that way.

The school bell rung, indicating homeroom period as students went in and out of hallways and corridors as Sasuke, brushed past Naruto, still connecting hands with the pinked haired girl who was giggling at something that Sasuke had said as Naruto leaned in to listen to their conversation as they walked by.

"Oh, that is so sweet, Sasuke-kun!" the girl cooed, snuggling into Sasuke.

"Whatever, you say, sweetie," Sasuke said, smiling down at the beautiful girl.

Naruto growled deep in throat, where he was hiding, as his balled his fist in rage, tears pricking the corner of his eyes. Sasuke never addressed him as "sweetie" or anything of that sort, so why her, when he didn't even like the girl. Sometimes, Naruto really doubted the love that Sasuke showed.

But before he could contemplate his thoughts further, a cold hand came in contact with his shoulder. Naruto turned around, shocked and hoping that the other had not realized that he was spying on Sasuke.

"Naruto, stop looking at Sakura. You know it very well that she is has a boyfriend and you stand no chance against him so why look at her?" Gaara spoke, despite his concern, his voice was icy cold but Naruto could even find warmth in his hollow words. Naruto simply shook his head and followed his friends to homeroom all the while thinking 'it is not Sakura I am in love with, it is the boyfriend of hers'
