Life Starts Now (Revised) NaruSasuNaru

Mutual (Shawn Mendes)

"I need to know if this is mutual. Before I go and get way too involved. I want you bad. Can you reciprocate?"

Everyone could see that Naruto and Sasuke were getting closer. The two walked up to the usual group, coffee in each of their hands. It seemed to have become a ritual that they'd go for coffee in the morning. Sasuke sat between Suigetsu and Juugo, the former giving him a knowing look. "What?" he asked looking annoyed, knowing what he was thinking.

"I didn't say anything," the light haired man smirked. He knew how to annoy the dark haired man and he found it highly amusing, especially when it involved a certain blond. "Here comes trouble," Suigetsu whispered to Sasuke as Sai walked up. The other man had seemed to become a permanent part of the group, which annoyed Sasuke more than Suigetsu's comments. "No need to pull out the claws, Naruto's definitely not into him like that. Besides I think he's straight," he continued to whisper as he nodded toward Sai, who was flirting with Ino. Suigetsu just chuckled as Sasuke glared at him, "Dude, you've got it bad."

"Shut up," Sasuke mumbled as he looked at Sai. He felt a little foolish for being jealous. He watched Sai flirt with Ino and he let out a sigh. He had already admitted to himself that he liked the blond, but that didn't give him any right to be jealous. Suigetsu was right, Naruto had never really showed an interest in San and Sai had flirting with Ino. Or at least he was pretty sure he was flirting, it was never really clear when it came to Sai if he was doing it intentionally or not.

"What are you two whispering about?" Naruto asked from across the table. Had it been anyone else Naruto may have been jealous, but it was Suigetsu that Sasuke had been talking to and there was nothing to be worried about when it came to the light haired teen, at least in terms of dating. Suigetsu was straight as an arrow and definitely not into Sasuke like that. While he knew that he really didn't have any right to be jealous, that didn't stop the feelings from rising every time someone tried to flirt with the Uchiha.

"None of your business," Sasuke snapped before Suigetsu could say anything. The light haired man just looked at Sasuke and let out a little laugh, causing Naruto to become confused. "I have to get to class," the dark haired man suddenly said as he stood up.

"You don't have class for another forty five minutes," the blond pointed out as he looked at the time on his phone. He didn't understand why Sasuke would suddenly want to leave. They'd had a great morning so Sasuke's actions didn't make sense to him. Naruto frowned, wondering if he'd ever fully understand the dark haired man.

"I need to study before class," Sasuke said quickly, almost too quickly. He didn't say anything else; rather he walked away toward his next class. 'Damn it,' Sasuke thought, knowing that he didn't really have anything that he needed to study for. There wasn't a test and even if the professor were to give a pop quiz he knew the information well enough.

"You know his schedule that well?" Suigetsu asked, amused. He wasn't sure how Sasuke couldn't see how much the blond liked him just as much Sasuke liked the blond. He didn't even know Sasuke's schedule well enough to know the time his classes were.

Naruto nervously rubbed the back of his neck, trying to think of an excuse. "Well," he started, as both Suigetsu and Kiba gave him knowing looks. "I'm his roommate, why wouldn't I?" he responded knowing that his reasoning was lame.

"Right," Suigetsu chuckled. "I'm sure that's the reason," his response made Kiba laugh and the look on Naruto's face only made it funnier to him.

"Whatever," the blond huffed. "I should get going too," he said as he stood up, wanting to get away from the conversation. He was wishing he had gone with Sasuke, but with the way the dark haired man retreated he figured that it would have been a bad idea. The way Sasuke left only made him more curious as to what he and Suigetsu were talking about, part of him hoped that he'd been the topic.
