Sensible Heart

One Dirty Dream Number One

"Naruto."

His voice was soft and held a seductive tone as he spoke. He drew closer to Naruto as he twirled a strand of Naruto's blonde hair between his fingers. Naruto pulled farther away from him, his heart was on a rampage of irregular beats as Sasuke closed his eyes.

"Sa…Sasuke," Naruto stuttered as he attempted to pull farther away from Sasuke.

"Naruto," Sasuke whispered as he placed his hand on Naruto's cheek. "This is right."

Naruto awoke to the irritating buzz of his alarm clock. He reached over to his night table and banged the off button for the alarm. He rubbed the blurriness from his eyes before rising from his bed.

"Stupid dream," he grunted. "That shit would never happen."

Naruto shivered from the thought of the dream, from the thought of even getting that close…physically, to Sasuke. He began to feel sick as he thought of the slightest possibility of the dream ever becoming a reality.

"Damn it!" He groaned after glancing at his clock. He hopped out of his bed and began pulling off his pajamas. "I'm going to be late!"

Naruto slammed his car door shut and began running towards the school. He looked around him and noticed that everyone was starting to walk inside the school. He sighed with relief and slowed down his pace.

"Naruto!" A blush tinted his cheeks when he heard the girl calling out his name. He turned around, and began waving at the girl who was running towards him.

"Sakura!" His grinned widened until he felt himself slam into the ground. He felt his face flush when he looked up and saw that it was Sasuke standing before him. Images of his dream began to invade his thoughts. He shook his head as an attempt to get rid of these thoughts. "Sa..Sasuke."

"You should watch where you're going, idiot," Naruto could feel his fury accumulate within him as he looked up at the dark haired boy glaring down at him.

"Excuse me?" Naruto growled after he hopped to his feet. He returned Sasuke's glare with an equally vicious one.

"That's better," He smirked.

"I swear, I bet you think your shit smells like flowers," Naruto grunted. "You act like you're king shit."

"And you act like-"

"Hi, Sasuke," Sakura grinned, her short pink hair danced with the wind as she stood before the two bickering boys. Naruto couldn't help but think how gorgeous she looked and blushed when her eyes fell on him and her smile widened. Even though Sasuke acted as if he were better than everyone else, Naruto knew he had won and would always be the winner. Previously, during their first year of high school, it was known that Sasuke and Sakura would eventually become an item but he left Konoha High for a year after unknown circumstances had befallen Sasuke's family and he had to transfer to another school for a year to be closer to his family. After that Naruto took that as his opportunity and built a stronger relationship with Sakura. Naruto and Sasuke had already barely gotten along from when they were kids but coming back to Konoha High and finding out the news only made Sasuke's aversion to Naruto stronger. That didn't matter to Naruto though, he had won the big prize and that was Sakura Haruno.

Naruto slithered his arm around Sakura's shoulder and grinned at Sasuke.

"You two should at least try getting along," Sakura sighed. "I mean it is our last year of high school and the two of you still can't get along. I mean this rivalry has been going on between you two since you were kids. Isn't it about time the two of you get along?"

"What rivalry?" Naruto snorted. "There's nothing for us to compete over. I just generally hate the guy."

"You know what, I think this is the first time me and you have agreed, Naruto," Sasuke rolled his eyes. "I don't have time to waste on you."

Sasuke turned his back and began to walk towards the school, without looking back at Naruto. In return, Naruto lifted his hand, holding up one finger.

"Big douche," Naruto groaned.

"Naruto," Sakura warned. "You should at least try."

"For you," Naruto kissed her cheek. "Anything."

"Let's just get to class you big idiot," Sakura giggled as the two began walking towards the school's entrance.

Naruto knew that he should ask Sakura to be his girlfriend soon. She had been hinting for a long time for him to ask her. He knew that Sakura assumed that he was just too stupid to catch the hints that she was laying out for him, especially when these hints became more obvious but there was something that was always holding him back from progressing any further with her. There was something that stopped him from making the commitment. Maybe he was just scared of commitment. Then again, it could be something else. He wasn't quite sure what it was. He hadn't even attempted to kiss her…out of shyness or a slight fear of rejection, he wasn't quite sure but he knew, eventually, he would be ready to make the plunge.

Naruto took his usual seat behind Ino while Hinata was to his left and Sakura to his right. He felt a chill run down his spine when he thought of Sasuke sitting behind him. He could also feel Sasuke's eyes boring into his back. He turned around, angrily glaring at Sasuke.

"What are you staring at Uchiha?" He groaned, as he unloaded his supplies from his backpack. He loosened the tie around his neck. He began to feel as if he were suffocating. Midterms were fast approaching and he knew that, at this time, he was failing miserably but he only shrugged it off and hoped that he would pull through with his "decent enough to get into college" grades that he received at the end of each semester but he was having a huge problem understanding the content of every single class this year. He was unsure that he would make it this year.

"Get over yourself," Sasuke turned his head to the side to signify that he was finished talking.

Naruto turned around in his seat again and groaned. How he got stuck sitting in front of Sasuke in Chemistry, he did not know. All he knew was he hated it, especially when he had to hear Sasuke answer every question correctly and obnoxiously.

"Good morning class," the teacher, Mr. Hatake, strolled into the classroom, although he preferred his students to call him by his first name, Kakashi, because he felt uncomfortable by the formality. Naruto also suspected that it made him feel old. Kakashi placed his bag on the table and pulled out his lesson plan from his bag.

"Is everyone ready to learn about the conservation of matter and stoichiometry?"

Naruto could feel his head begin to swim from the phrase alone, he raised his hand. When Kakashi had seen this he only sighed.

"Yes, Naruto?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Good question, although, not phrased very well. I'm sure quite a few of you are wondering what we're about to learn. Does anyone have any ideas about stoichiometry? Since you all should know about the conservation of mass already. If you don't, you need to consider a serious study session."

Right on cue, Sasuke spoke, "Well, the purpose of stoichiometry is to determine the mass relationships between two compounds involved in a chemical reaction."

"Correct!" Kakashi grinned while Naruto groaned at Sasuke's correct answer. He had to admit, it made him feel a tad inferior to Sasuke since he didn't even know what the answer meant. He was definitely not going to pass the year if he didn't seek help fast.

He felt Sasuke inch closer to him, sending an odd sensation to flow through Naruto's body that he couldn't quite understand. He immediately shook off this sensation.

"You may think you have won, but it's far from it," he could feel the smirk that Sasuke must have had plastered on his abnormally pale face.

"Shut it," Naruto groaned.

"Naruto," Kakashi stopped writing whatever gibberish he was writing on the board. "Pay attention. You definitely need to."

Naruto shrunk in his seat as people around him snickered. Everyone knew about Naruto's "slacker" reputation. Well, a few years in high school and eventually you would know. Teachers had faith in him, at first, seeing the potential he held, but due to his constant slacking teachers began to give up but were always surprised by the decent grades he could somehow muster before the semester ended. Although, Naruto felt that this year he may have a bit of trouble and would have to ask for some help. Sakura had already attempted to tutor him in the courses he was really having trouble in but she didn't have the patience or skill to deal with Naruto's slow tendencies. So she had suggested to him to ask the teacher for help and maybe find him a tutor that would have the skill to pull a miracle. He had been procrastinating with this suggestion for a while, since it was difficult for him to "admit defeat", as he would call it, but he knew that it was time to ask for help.

When the bell rang and the students began to file out of the classroom, Naruto waited until all the students had left to approach his teacher. He lingered at Kakashi's desk for a short while until Kakashi finished ruffling with his papers and directed his attention to Naruto. He smiled, already knowing what Naruto was looking for although he wasn't going to say anything because he preferred to hear it from Naruto himself.

"Kakashi, I…" He began to fiddle with his tie, cursing the school uniform as he did so. "I need help, badly."

"Yes, you definitely do, Naruto," Kakashi sighed. "You have been failing or barely passing every test and assignment I have given you."

"Yes, and that's why I need help."

"Okay," Kakashi smiled. "I know the perfect tutor for you. I just need to find them and review your strengths and weaknesses with them. Come to my classroom at the end of the day and I'll assign you your tutor."

"Thank you so much Kakashi," Naruto grinned as he began to feel hope that he would pass his final year. "This means a lot to me."

"You just have to stay dedicated, or else you'll be repeating another year, and you don't want that."

"I definitely don't want to do that and I will be dedicated. Trust me," Naruto headed for the door. "I'll make you proud! See you after school!"

Kakashi sighed as Naruto left the room. He knew the perfect tutor for Naruto, but the problem was that he would have a hard time convincing the tutor to take the job, also, for the tutor and the student to even get along in the first place. It was risky but he knew it would benefit Naruto best. He didn't think there was any other student that would be able to shape up Naruto best.

Naruto searched the cafeteria for his usual table with Sakura and his friends. He finally spotted a table where Sakura was waving at him excitedly, while Sai was absorbed in another book he was reading. Naruto walked over to the table and snuck his arm around Sakura's shoulder.

"So you finally asked for a tutor?" Sakura grinned.

Sai immediately caught wind of the conversation and placed his book down on the table.

"You were looking for a tutor?" Sai asked, his eyes brightening although his face still held the same vacant expression. "Why didn't you ask me? The best way to show friendship is through helping a friend in need."

Naruto began to feel nervous under Sai's stare. He was still reading those ridiculous books that instructed on how to be a better friend. Naruto looked back at Sakura and saw that she looked nervous as well.

"Sai I don't think you're the best person to tutor Naruto," Naruto could sense the apprehension in Sakura's tone. "Don't you think you should stop reading those books? I mean, aren't they the reason you sprained your arm because you tried to carry something that was too heavy for you to help someone?"

"Well, the book said that offering someone aid signifies a request for friendship."

"There are some things you need to learn through experience," Naruto sighed.

"Experience, huh?" Sai began to rub the bottom of his cheek as he thought about this.

"Gosh, you're hopeless sometimes," Naruto sighed.

"Hey, Naruto!" Naruto looked up to see Chouji, Shikamaru, and Ino slide into the table. Naruto examined the amount of food on Chouji's tray but decided against making any comments.

"How's it going you guys?" Sakura grinned, he also noticed Sakura staring at Chouji's pile of food.

"Pretty good," Chouji stuffed half of his sandwich in his mouth. "I really like my class. It's teaching me a lot. I think I might go to culinary school or something."

"Sounds good," Sakura smiled.

Naruto felt a little left out when everyone discussed what they were doing after high school. Ino and Sakura wanted to get into medical school and become doctors. Sai wanted to attend Art College while Chouji was thinking of going to culinary school and becoming a chef. Shikamaru was taking over the family business, which was a chain of luxury hotels, although Shikamaru found that troublesome but he also found it more troublesome attending college. He preferred already having wealth than working for it. Lee was going to become a martial arts instructor. The point was that everyone knew what they wanted to do already and he had absolutely no idea where he was going to be, let alone, what colleges he was going to apply for.

"Hey, Sasuke!" Ino waved for Sasuke to come over to their table. Sasuke looked over at the table and noticed Naruto sitting with them and continued walking without any further acknowledgement.

"Snotty ass," Naruto groaned.

"God, you guys aren't over that weird feud you have?" Ino sighed.

"Not even close," Sakura groaned, gently slapping Naruto's arm.

"Hey, I tried once…alright?"

"Weren't you two friends before he left?" Shikamaru joined the conversation.

"Yeah, we kind of were, I guess," Naruto looked down at the table. He usually tried to forget that they were once friends.

He knew it might be the whole Sakura thing, or it might have been something else. He wasn't quite sure what the problem was. Sasuke was difficult to read at times. The bottom line was before he left their friendship was already crumbling and when he came back Sasuke just hated him.

"Have you guys noticed how much moodier he got when he came back?" Chouji changed the subject, after noticing the awkward silence that had befallen the table.

"Yeah, it was totally weird, I still adore him though," Ino grinned as a blush tinted her cheeks.

"Of course you do," Shikamaru sighed. "Sometimes nothing changes."

Ino looked at Sakura and Naruto and smirked, "And sometimes things change dramatically."

"Not that it really matters," Naruto groaned. "What is this? Philosophy class?"

"You would think so," Sakura laughed, patting Naruto on the head.

"One day all of you are going to regret underestimating me," Naruto grunted.

"Haven't you been saying that since grade school?" Shikamaru laughed, causing the entire table to break out with laughter.

Naruto looked over at the table Sasuke was sitting at. He noticed that Sasuke was staring straight back at him and he began to feel the warmth of a blush tinting his cheeks. He quickly looked away from Sasuke and mentally hit himself for looking at him. He began to think about when the two of them were friends and immediately began to feel that odd rush of emotion that would flow through him whenever they were friends. That unknown rush of emotion was the cause of their friendship falling apart. He was frightened of the feeling he would get when he was around Sasuke and immediately backed off from him. Although, at times, he thought about how he missed his friendship with Sasuke. At the time, he thought of him as his best friend.

The lunch bell brought Naruto back to reality.

"Alright, English class," Sakura smirked at Naruto. "Got your brain ready?"

"Hey, I'm actually really good at English."

Everyone looked at Naruto, their expressions filled with shock, but Sai immediately rushed to Naruto's protection.

"It's actually true, Naruto's not bad."

"Wow, that's a surprise, considering you can hardly speak the language," Shikamaru laughed.

"Hey! That's uncalled for!"

"It's just a joke," Chouji joined in with the laughter.

"God, you guys, seriously," Naruto whined.

"Oh, come on," Sakura pushed Naruto slightly. "Before we're late for class."

"Right," Naruto looked back at Sasuke, noticing that he was still watching him. He immediately looked away again and decided that he would just continue to ignore him as best as possible.

***

Naruto walked down the hall towards Kakashi's classroom. He had already told Sakura to wait in the car for him until he found out his tutor from Kakashi. He stepped into the classroom and immediately felt his stomach plummet. He couldn't believe this.

"Sa…Sasuke," Naruto groaned. It was just his luck that Sasuke would be his tutor. Of course, out of the hundreds of students in the school Sasuke Uchiha had to be his tutor.

"That's right," Kakashi placed his hand on Sasuke's shoulder. "I thought he was the best suited to tutor you."

"You've got to be kidding me! Can't I have another tutor?"

"I'm afraid not, take it or leave it. You said you were dedicated or am I wrong? Did you put me through all that work for nothing Naruto?"

"No, no," Naruto waved his hands in the air, trying to deter Kakashi from saying anything else. "I'm just not sure a smart ass like him would be able to teach me anything."

"On the contrary, Sasuke is the best tutor I have. Now, you both can coordinate your meetings and such amongst yourselves. I hope to see improvement from you, Naruto."

"Right," Naruto sighed, turning away from Kakashi. "Thanks, I guess."

He stepped out of the classroom and began to walk down the hall. He felt someone grab his wrist, and he turned around furiously. This wasn't the time for anyone to touch him. He immediately stopped when noticing the irritated look on Sasuke's face. Of course it was Sasuke.

"Hey, don't think I'm happy about this either. I'm only doing this because I have to."

"Whatever, I don't have time for this. This is just stupid."

"I don't care. This is my job and if you want to pass than you'll just have to deal with it. We'll agree that we both feel the same dislike towards each other and attempt to deal with each other until this is over."

"Fine," Naruto looked down at Sasuke's hand that was firmly holding on to his wrist. After Sasuke noticed this as well, a slight blush tinted his cheeks and he pulled away from him.

"Wake up early, we're meeting up in the morning before school. Seven o'clock."

"Fine," Naruto grunted.

"Fine."

The two awkwardly stared at each other before they finally turned away and walked down the hall.

Of course, it had to be Sasuke.
