(Sasuke X Reader) The Eyes That Capture

Chapter 13

"Okay. Good job for the first part. We'll know the result in two weeks."

Kakashi says as he compiles all of your answer sheets.

"But you're not going to check it? I mean, you don't want to look and fix any mistakes there?"

Temari asks.

Kakashi just creates a smile.

"I can't." He answers.

"It's the rule. If i help you, we'll be disqualified. And i don't want that to happen."

Kakashi continues.

"Huh... Just as i thought. What a pain."

After complaining, shikamaru bows towards kakashi and walks out of the room. So do all of you.

You guys walk together to your gathering room where the others are waiting. Just as you reach the room, sasuke suddenly turns to face you.

"I have something to do. See you later."

He mutters those words and leave.

"Where is he going?" You ask, concerned about him. Somehow, when you look at him today, he seems... weird.

"I don't know. Maybe another confession." Shikamaru answers in his usual indifferent tone, his face showing no interest at all.

"Confession...?" You question him again, confused.

"Well, you see... Sasuke is very popular. He is the most popular third yeard student in school. He receives love confessions a lot. Usually, the girls will request to meet him during recess or after school. That's why sasuke rarely hangs around with us. He is, umm... Busy, i guess?"

This time, temari explains it to you. You just nod as the memories of your first encounter with him plays in your mind.

'He received confession too at that time.'

Out of the blue, shikamaru sighs.

"But i still don't understand that guy. He should've just ignored all of those requests and not wasting his time on them. I mean, he's going to reject them anyway. And the girls, it's not like they don't know sasuke is going to reject them, but they risk their pride to confess. Ugh, what a drag."

He grumbles.

"But if you don't risk to confess, you won't know what the other person feel about you."

Neji intervenes.

"Some girls are his classmates, means that he knows them. So there is a probability that he notices them. That's why they confess. Who knows if sasuke is also interested in them? Well, even if that is kinda impossible."

"Plus... If sasuke doesn't go and meet them, they'll still wait. Maybe they'll attempt to meet him again until they get their answer. Girls are kinda persistent, you know."

Temari adds. Shikamaru frowns at her.

"That's why girls are such a pain." He says.

At that time, temari grabs his collar and glares sharply at him.

"We are whaaaat? Say it again."

Shikamaru quickly turns pale.

"M-my bad... Sorry..."

Then, temari releases his shirt.

"Speak ill of girls again and I'll teach you a lesson. By the way, I'm starving. Let's go in."

Temari swings the door open and tells shikamaru to enter. Neji follows.

Meanwhile, you still worry about sasuke as he looks really troubled by something. Even though you don't know what it is.

"(Name)..." Temari calls out to you.

"Don't worry about him. He'll be fine. We've been classmates for three years, you know. And he did that all the time. Let's go in."

She says, assuring you with a smile plastered on her face. But still, you can't ignore your intuition to follow sasuke.

"Ummm... I'm sorry, temari. I think today I'm going to pass. I actually have something to do." You tell her, trying to find an excuse.

Temari is still smiling.

"Alright, i understand. Tell sasuke i say hello."

Her words send blood rushing to your face.

"W-what are you talking about? Ugh."

Right after scowling at her, you run towards the direction that sasuke left in attempt to search for him.

It's not that confession that is disturbing him. There's something else. You can just feel it. But what?

You just run where your legs carry you. Firstly, the backyard.

"No, he's not here."

Next, you search in any empty classrooms and labs.

"Not here too."

Then, you head to the first place you met, the school garden.

"Ugh, not here."

You have started to lose hope when suddenly a thought crosses your mind.

In mangas, where does the girl usually wants to meet the guy to confess?

You think long and hard.

Then, a bulb lights up.

'The rooftop!'
