Naruto and Jiraiya – third person pov
"So Naruto, are you sure that you want to stay in a dorm?"
"Yeah, otherwise I can't go to this academy. Remember?"
"Okay, but once you stay there you can't go back. Deal?"
"Deal! Alright, I'm going to the art academy! Whoo! Yeah!"
"But if you're having trouble with something, no matter what, you'll call me."
"Dad.. I know I have to call you if I have one of my mental breakdowns. Don't worry, besides I probably won't have one."
"Even if you got an asthma-attack."
"Dad.. I only get them when I'm too frustrated, too nervous or something like that.. But it's only school, nothing can go wrong there right?"
"I guess.."
"Really? You sound like the kid now. Maybe I should make the rules now."
"Nice try, kid. But that ain't gonna happen soon."
"I know, but I can dream right?"
"Yeah. Oh! We should go! You're almost too late!"
Naruto glanced at the clock and rushed through the door.
"C'mon dad! I don't want to be late!"
Jiraiya laughed at the extremely happy blonde, he took his keys and followed Naruto to the car. The ride to the school was filled with happy singing and laughter.
"Okay Bye! And remember.."
"If I get in trouble of any kind I'll have to call you. Yes, I know. Bye Dad!"
Jiraiya laughed, a couple of months ago he had found Naruto and adopted him. The blonde was so shy and suspicious back then and now he was the most open person Jiraiya ever met.
Naruto stormed into the school and looked around. He saw a boy with black hair leaning against the wall. Naruto decided to ask him where the dorm was and if he knows with who he has to spent his days with. He slowly approached the boy.
"Hi, I'm new here! Can you maybe help me?"
"Hn."
"Oi teme! No need to be so rude."
"What did you call me, dobe?"
"Teme! I'm not a dobe!"
"You seem like a dobe to me."
"You know what forget it, I'll find someone else to help me."
".. Wait, I'll help you. But only you tell me your full name."
"My full name? For what?"
"I will only help you if you're the one, who I have to share a room with."
"Otherwise you won't help me?"
"Yeah, that's the deal I made with my brother."
"Deal?"
"None of your business. So are you gonna tell me your name or are you just gonna stand there like a dobe?"
"I'm not a dobe. And no, I won't tell you my full name."
".. Why not?"
"Because you're a teme and besides I probably won't be your roommate."
"Hn."
Naruto turned to leave, but was stopped by the boy.
"You're not gonna to find your room, if you don't tell me your name. I will make sure of that."
"Why are you so determined on finding my name?"
"At first, I wasn't. But then you refused and I like getting what I want."
"Okay, fine. My name is Naruto Uzumaki. And yours?"
"Sasuke Uchiha… It looks like we're roommates."
"What? No way!"
"It's not that I'm thrilled about living with a dobe either."
"Teme!"
Sasuke started walking towards their dorm. Naruto grumbled, but followed him. They unpacked their stuff. Naruto laid himself on his bed as he closed his eyes.
"Hey Sasuke.. How does having a family feel?"
"What? If you think I'm going to spill my guts to you then you're wrong. I bet Itachi is behind this. Did he ask you to do this?"
"What no! I don't even know that Itachi guy. Geez I was just trying to be nice and start a conversation."
"You actually think I will believe that?"
"Teme, why are you being so difficult! Okay I'm sorry for starting a conversation!"
"I know you don't mean that! And I know for sure that you know him! He has chosen you as my roommate! My fucking roommate! And I also know that he likes to know everyone who his little brother hangs out with."
"Aaaah! Why don't you believe me! I'm telling you th-.. the.. tru.."
Sasuke suddenly began panicking as he saw Naruto gasping for air.
"Naruto, what's the matter?"
"..can't… breathe.."
"Oh god, how can I help?"
"M-.. my.. b-.. bag…"
"Your bag?"
"In-… inh-… inha-.."
"Inhaler?"
"Yeah.. q-..quick… pl-..plea-… please."
Sasuke searched his entire backpack, almost becoming frantic. After a minute or two he finally found Naruto' inhaler.
"Here."
Naruto took a couple inhales and finally his breathing returned to normal."
"Thanks…"
"You have asthma? Never thought you were the type for it."
".. yeah.. Didn't had it my whole life though…"
"Owh, since when do you have it.."
".. I rather not talk about my past.. Like you, I like to keep it to myself. I'm the only who knows my whole past."
"Like me? Don't you dare compare yourself to me! And for the record, I'm not the only one who knows my past, my brother knows it too."
"…"
"Naruto?"
"… I'm going to explore the building, see you later.."
"Did I do something wrong?"
"No.. I'm.. It's.. nothing.. Uhm, let's keep this asthma-thingy secret, 'kay."
Naruto got up and walked outside of the room. Tears pricking in his eyes, why did the teme has to be so rude? He was just trying to start a simple conversation. Will everyone hate him here too.
"I guess, I'll have to call dad.. Nah.. If Sasuke doesn't tell then nobody will know."
He started wandering through the various halls. Each time he was looking in awe at the halls.
"Hey blondie! You new here?"
"Yeah, and my name's Naruto. Not blondie, dogbreath."
"The name's Kiba. So what's your talent?"
"Talent?"
"Yeah, I'm a great entertainer, my shy friend here is a great writer and the lazy one is a great singer."
"Well, I guess I'm kinda good at painting and drawing."
"So who is your roommate?"
"Uhm.. Sasuke Uchi-something."
"Sasuke Uchiha! You have some bad luck, bro."
"Heh, if only you knew."
"What did you say."
"Ah is that so?"
"Yeah he's a really grumpy ass."
"I noticed that already, but he can be nice also."
"Nice? If I see that ever happen then I'm sure that miracles do exist."
"So do you know an Itachi guy."
"His brother? Yeah, most of the time he's in the secretary's office. What about him?"
"Okay thanks Kiba!"
"Hey wait!"
"How troublesome.."
After a couple of minutes running he arrived at the secretary's office. He knocked harshly on the door.
"What?"
"Uhm. Is Itachi here?"
"I'm him."
"Oowh, hello. I'm Sasuke's roommate."
"I'm already aware of that."
"You are? Uhm.. Why did Sasuke freak out when I asked him about family?
"You already asked him about family? What do you know of him?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing? Well, Naruto. He's very sensitive about that because our parents died. Naruto, can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Why can't I find anything about your past."
"I.. Uhm.. I.."
Itachi saw Naruto becoming very nervous, the blonde was fidgeting nervously.
"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."
"Okay…"
Naruto walked back to his room, he saw Sasuke sitting at his desk. Scribbling into something. Naruto walked towards his bed and dropped himself on it.
"Owh, you're back. Care to tell me why you ran away."
"I didn't ran away. I just wanted to explore a little bit."
"Yeah, right."
"Teme, I swear if you don't stop annoying me."
"You'll have another asthma-attack."
".. I.. no.. shut up."
"I was right, wasn't I?"
"Leave me alone."
"Why do have them in the first place?"
"I said leave me alone."
"No. I want to know."
"Shut up."
"Answer me."
"No."
"Answer. Me."
"Stop it! You know shit of me! Why don't you just leave me alone!"
"C'mon I dare you. Answer me."
"Stop! I swear I'll hit you."
"You don't have the guts."
"Teme! Aaah! I want another roommate! Really why did your brother do this to me?"
Naruto started breathing faster and sharper.
"Oi calm down! Okay you don't have to tell me! Just breathe slowly."
Naruto slowly calmed down and laid himself down on the bed.
"Oh and now you're acting nice. Scared you will kill me? Don't worry, I can handle some stress."
"Hn."
"Pff.. Teme.."
They spent the whole day in their room, arguing about something.
(the following night.. So I mean a day has passed and this is the night… yeah..)
Sasuke – first person pov
I wonder what's up with that dobe. Why did he need to know about my family? Why do I feel like I should tell him? Why do I trust him? Why does he feel so close? Maybe if I spill my guts to him then I will be able to sleep again without the nightmares. I feel like he's also keeping things from me. But I'm gonna find out what. I'm an Uchiha, we always get what we want. I still wonder why Itachi paired me up with him. He obviously doesn't know a thing about him. Otherwise he would have warned me for the asthma-attacks.
I'm looking at him sleeping. He seems so calm, so peaceful. I wish I could sleep like that. Huh? He starts stirring? Is he gonna wake up? Wait no.. It seems more like a.. nightmare. So does he have the same problems like me?
"No.. no.. please.. no.. don't.. hit.. me.. I promise.. I.. behave.. I promise.. No.. Not.. basement.. no.."
Okay not exactly the same.. I got up and walked towards him. I gently shook him.
"Hey Naruto, wake up."
"No! Don't hit me! I promise I'll behave! I won't tell mommy! I won't tell anyone! Please!"
"Naruto! It's just a dream. Wake up!"
"Aaaaah!"
Naruto shot right up and was panting.
"Finally dobe, took you long enough."
"Wha-.. what?"
"You had a nightmare."
"Owh…"
I walked back to my bed and pulled the covers over me. I felt his eyes lingering on me, almost like he needed to get something of his chest. I was proven right when he spoke up.
"I got it from when I was six."
"What?"
"The asthma.."
"Six?"
"Yeah, my caretaker used to.. abuse me. One night he had gone too far. After he did something terrible with me, he decided that it wasn't enough."
"Something terrible?"
"He… he abused me... sexually.."
"You mean like rape?"
Naruto pulled his legs closer and nodded.
"After he did that, he pulled me by the hair and dragged me through the forest. I screamed and thrashed as hard as I could, but he didn't let go. After we arrived at a lake he stopped. He pulled me up and threw me in. I tried to swim back up, but I was exhausted from the thrashing and the.. abuse."
"He almost killed you?"
"Yeah, so before I blacked out, I saw a boy rescuing me. When I woke up I was in the hospital. After I recovered I went back to the orphanage."
"And what happened then?"
"That's all I'm gonna tell you."
".. Okay. I guess I should tell you about my past too. It's only fair, right? So when I was nine, my parents were murdered by a serial killer when I was nine. I still remember his face. He had 2 long scars over his face and an evil grin."
"Were the scars from above his eyes to under his chin, almost parallel?"
"Yeah.. How did you know?"
"He was my caretaker when I was eight. He almost killed me. Hmmm… a lot of people tend to do that..."
"He was your caretaker?"
"Yeah, after he thought he killed me. He just disappeared."
"Then almost a year later he killed my parents…"
"I'm sorry Sasuke.."
"Sorry? You're sorry?"
"I know, if I tried to defend myself.. Then maybe he wouldn't…"
Naruto started crying, he was shaking terribly.
"You don't even have to say 'you're sorry'."
"I'm really sorry, Sasuke. I tried, I really did.."
"Because you didn't do anything, Naruto!"
"I know I should have tried.. I know.."
"Naruto, I mean, it wasn't your fault. He was the one who killed them, not you."
Sasuke went over to them, this comfort-thingy was new for him, so he decided to hug him and let him cry. Naruto sobbed in his chest.
"Sasuke?"
"Yeah?"
"I… uhm.. lived in 15 different homes. That's why I wanted to know how a real family was like.."
"15 different homes? Were they all bad?"
"… yeah.."
".. all of them?"
"One even took my inhaler away, he wanted me to be strong.. Not so pathetic.. He also blamed me for the death of his son."
"He blamed you?"
"Sorry I don't like talking about it…"
"Naruto.. He has no right to hate you, no matter what you did. You are a kind person, nobody should hate someone like you."
Naruto just nodded slightly and whispered
"Can we go to sleep again?"
"… Sure"
I saw Naruto turning away from me. I waited for him to fall asleep, before I dozed off. The dobe was so.. so.. I don't even know how to describe it. I feel like I know him already. He's just so familiar.
A/N: So.. What do you think? Good? Bad? Sucks? Seen that, done that? Retard! get a fucking life? Tell me what you think and if i should continue this story.. ^^ Peace out noodles!
