Narufan4ev: Okay first things first… I flippin' LOVE you guys! Your reviews make this story so worth it!
Sasuke: So it was YOU prolonging my suffering! (jumps out at audience only to be hit over the head)
Naruto: Bad Sasuke! Did it not occur to you that they're the people rooting for our relationship to happen?! Fine! If you don't want to be with me just say it! (runs off with tears in his eyes)
Sasuke: No!! Naru-chan my love! (runs after Naruto)
Narufan4ev: (watches them go) Wow… and those two used to be ninja…? Oh well! Anyways thanks for all the wonderful reviews even though I don't get to answer many of them! Now on with the story!

It had been two entire weeks since the phone incident and neither of the two boys had gotten together to discuss their project. Naruto was busy 'courting' Tenten and Sasuke was way too busy talking to (and about, much to Naruto's annoyance) Milo to even realize the time moving by. However when it came to a week before the project was due it was Sasuke who miraculously remembered.
---
"S-Sasuke you're kidding right?!" Milo chuckled quietly trying not to disturb the quiet of the café they were currently lounging in. Sasuke just smirked in satisfaction.
"Nope, it really happened," he said victoriously.
"You mean to tell me that you're brother, who in you're words is the coolest guy in the whole world, insert fangirl sigh here (this earned him a smack to the head) oh, excuse me. I meant fanboy sigh (this earned him a harder smack to the head) whatever! You're saying for his 8th birthday your mom made him wear a dress?!" Milo finished in disbelief. "I don't buy it."
"You so underestimate my mother's persuasion skills…" Sasuke said with a smirk as he pulled out his wallet. "And plus… I've got pictures."
"Oh, no way-" before Milo could make a grab for the wallet their waitress came over to their table chirpily. Hey did her skirt look shorter then the last time they saw her?
"Can I get you anything boys?" she purred as she leaned over the table trying to show off her non-existent cleavage. She sent a not-so-conspicuous wink towards Sasuke and waiting patiently for his answer.
"No, I'm fine," Sasuke said ignoring the obvious flirting. That seemed to deflate her confidence if her sudden slouch was anything to go by.
"I'd like quite a few things but must of them I'm sure you don't sell here," Milo answered in his own flirtatious voice sending the girl a smirk. "But for now I think I'll take another latte and your number?"
"Right away honey," she said with a smile before she stood and blew a kiss over in Milo's direction.
"You actually found that charming?" Sasuke scoffed with a roll of his eyes.
"Well, unlike you I'm not asexual, and you gotta give her points for trying," Milo said with a smile. "How else is she gonna learn? In this world it's the man vs. man! It's all about survival of the fittest-!"
"Man, I'm getting sick of hearing that all the time in science-" and Sasuke's brain shut down as he put the pieces together. Science…
"You mean the class where the guy took away your phone-?" These words didn't reach Sasuke's ears however.
3-week project…
"Sasuke?"
Science 3-week project…
"Hey, Sasuke!"
It's been two weeks…
"Okay, you're really starting to freak me out now…"
3 – 2 = 1… one week left…
"Sasuke, snap out of it!"
One week left for entire project…
"Okay, I'm going to get help! Don't move-!"
"SHIT!" Sasuke abruptly shot up earning a shout from everyone in the vicinity. He immediately grabbed his stuff and headed towards the door. Milo stood from his seat to follow when the girl from before came back with his drink and a piece of paper clutched in her hands.
"Is something wrong?" she asked. Milo just pulled out some money and traded it for her number sending her a charming smile all the while.
"Consider the drink on me," he said before stuffing the paper in his pocket and hastily walking out the door. He didn't have to go far though, Sasuke had stopped right outside the door and was now pacing. "Dude, what's wrong?"
"Project due! One week from now!" Sasuke said pulling at his hair. "I haven't even looked at what it's on! And it's with Naruto! –wait why didn't he remind me ohmygod what if he's been doing it by myself and been calling me the bastard of all bastards behind my back!?"
"Sasuke!" Milo yelled promptly smacking Sasuke across the face. "Get a hold of yourself! First of all, if this Naruto is anything like you described him, he didn't remember either. And if you're any bit the perfectionist I know you are you will be a perfectionist at procrastinating!"
"Thanks… I needed that," Sasuke said breathing in and out trying to calm down as he rubbed his cheek. "I just need to call… Naruto and tell him we need to start today…"
"Good now I'll see you later and I might actually get to meet this infamous Naruto perhaps?" Milo teased while nudged Sasuke in the arm.
"Perhaps…"
"Good enough for me!" Milo yelled with a grin before giving Sasuke a pat on the back and turning away. "Now don't let me take up your quality time-I mean project time with Naruto! Go Sasuke, go and win your man- I mean grade- wait no, I meant man!"
"You are so weird," Sasuke said covering his blushing face as a mother with her child walked by giving them a funny look.
"Why thank you, now off you go!" Milo said with a shooing motion and Sasuke just decided to leave this embarrassing scene. As he walked he pulled out his cell phone and dialed Naruto's number (which he did NOT steal from Sakura).

"Naruto you really like ramen don't you?" Tenten joked as she raised her chopsticks full of noodles to her mouth. Naruto only snickered as he started on his third bowl.
"Well, Ichiraku Ramen is too good to pass up," Naruto said before slurping up some more ramen. Tenten just giggled along with him as they made idle chitchat. When Naruto finished his second bowl he silently placed down his chopsticks and sheepishly scratched the back of his head which caught Tenten's attention. "Hey, Tenten I've been wondering… well, we've been hanging out for 3 weeks now and I like you and… will you go to homecoming with me?"
"Oh, wow Naruto," she started quite awkwardly. "I don't know-"
You are my friend aa- ano hi no yume, ima demo mada wasuretenain deshou?-
"Wait a sec, Tenten," Naruto said pulling out his phone. Checking the number he had no idea who it was. He just shrugged and flipped it open. "Hello?"
"Idiot! We have a project due in one week!!"
"What the hell? Bastard, how did you get my cell number?" Naruto yelled indignantly into the phone. Tenten just gave him a weird look.
"… Never mind that! We have a project to do!"
"What do you mean project-" and then it clicked, "Oh my God we have a project to do! Why the hell didn't you remind me!?"
"I just did! Now we have to start today!"
"Fine meet me at my house in a half an hour," Naruto said before closing his phone with a sharp click and standing up. He sent an apologetic look over to Tenten before setting down money on the table. "I'm sorry but I have a project that's due at the end of the week and I totally forgot."
"Oh, it's fine. I understand," she said standing up and grabbing her jacket.
"I'll drop you off at home then," with that they left the restaurant.

Sasuke couldn't believe it… he had just been invited over to Naruto's house! This would've been a perfect time to do his happy dance, you know if he wasn't an Uchiha who didn't practice such frivolities… But no time to think about that right now he had to go Naruto's house! With that he continued on to his house to get ready. Sure it wasn't a date but he could at least pretend.
