The Story of Us

Chapter 7

My feet dragged along the sidewalk and cars passed me by, as I walked back to my dorm, so I could meet up with Hinata. I couldn't help but wonder what I did wrong while I carefully stroked my bow purplish-brown bruise.

Yeah I'll admit I can be an asshole sometimes, but I was only being nice to him. Maybe I should hate him too, since he hates me so much, or maybe that's too childish of me. I should know by now that I can't be friends with everyone.

It's just that, there's something about him that intrigues me. Whether that may be his looks or his asshole personality. I know there's a soft side under all that armor he has around his dark, cold heart, but it might even be that I knew him as a child.

That was only because our parents were friends, and by parents, I mean my mom and his mom. Apparently they were best friends in high school and all throughout college. I wouldn't doubt it because they have similar personalities kind and caring yet short tempered.

*flash back*

"I'll make it in before you!" I chased after Sasuke as we fought over who got to go enter the house first. I shoved his face with my hand causing his check to squish against the door frame, while he roughly elbowed me in my ribs. He didn't even care that he could break them in half and cause me internal bleeding.

(Note-the paragraphs in the || are Naruto's thoughts from the outside of the flash back.)

|'Now that I think about it, Sasuke and I never got along. I knew him at our high school graduation ceremony, but I knew he didn't remember me, so I just pretended to go along with it. He shut out that part of his memory due to family reasons. I wouldn't blame him if I was that little and my parents fought all the time, I wouldn't want to remember either...|

"Teme stop I'm going to bleed to death!" I began to scream as he brutally chipped my ribs from the outside. Well not literally I'm just being a drama queen again. Sasuke gave me his signature glare and pushed his way past my hand that no longer continued to squish his cheeks, leaving the side of his face a rosy red color due to irritation.

After he went in, I followed after him only to discover my mom angrily hover over me, and his mom that already had him by the ear.

"Boys! Why can't you get along!" My mothers long, blood red hair practically floated in mid air as her sinister aura filled the room. I shrieked as Sasuke shook under his moms hold.

"Your not going to answer me! Ok you know what, time out."

"Both of you." Sasuke's mom finished her sentence while she glared down at him.

"Sit on the couch and hold each other's hand until you two can stop arguing." My mother added trying to stifle her laugh, no longer angry because of her 'brilliant' punishment.

"I'd rather jump off a cliff than hold that dobe's hand." Sasuke rolled his eyes and glared at me.

"Yeah same here he's a teme!" I stuck my tongue out while Sasuke continued glaring.

"Enough! Couch now!" Our mother's said in unison, and we both squealed, running to the living room hand in hand.

For the first 5 minutes, we sat in silence and clung to each other's hand, but I decided to ask questions.

"Hey Sasuke-teme why are we always so mean to each other?" Sasuke sighed and tightened his grip on my hand.

"Because we hate each other." I frowned and returned his grip.

"I don't like hating you though." I looked over at Sasuke and he looked over at me. Our eyes meet as onyx eyes pooled into my ocean blue ones.

"Then don't." I widened my eyes as Sasuke pressed his lips to mine. My heart wanted nothing more than to kiss back, but my mind told me to push him away, so I did. His face had the look of dejection as he angrily jerked his hand away from mine.

"And that's why we have to hate each other." He sneered at me and ran out of the room, but I followed after him.

"Sasuke wait I-"

"Sasuke sweetheart are you ready to leave?" Sasuke's mom came out from the kitchen as did my mom and grabbed Sasuke's hand with a smile as he just nodded at her. They both walked out the door, Sasuke not even sparing me a passing glance, as I watched them get into their car.

"I hope you guys patched things up." Mom put her hand on my head and pulled me back inside the house.

"Dinner is almost ready." She smiled at me, but I couldn't seem to smile back.

'Why am I so stupid...'

|"Stupid teme it's still hard to believe you forgot all of that. After all, it is the reason I discovered I'm bi.|
