Naruto's POV
"Stand. Bow. See you later."
I shoved my workbooks into my bag,"Come on, Gaara let's go." I grabbed his elbow and dragged him out the class room and into the halls.
"There is of no need to drag me. I am able to direct myself."
"You're still glued to your Tamagochi! You can't direct yourself." We dodged other students and got to the staircase.
"What sport are you trying out for?"
"I dunno. All of them! I'll try out for all of them."
"You cannot be in more than one sport."
"I'll just try out for all of them and see which one I'm best at."
"Will you be trying out for membership of the marital arts club?"
"Oh hell no!" Gaara looked at me,"Neji is in the martial arts club. I'd be dead if I went there. I've never liked the robe things either." I continued to the end of the hall and opened the door to the teachers office. We went to Coach Yamato's desk.
"Ah, Naruto-kun, Gaara-kun, what brings you here."
I grinned and answered,"I wanted to join a sport."
"Oh, that's great. Did you have anything in mi-"
"Baseball." Gaara interrupted him.
"Uh, Gaara I didn't-"
"I have contemplated all options and the only sport I will willingly watch you play is baseball."
"But I'm choosing what I'm going to play. What if I'm not good at baseball?"
"Then you get to keep the bench warm."
"Uhh," Yamato sweatdropped,"Maybe you guys should just come back later."
"Why baseball and how did you even choose?"
"1. You cannot swim 2. Neji is in martial arts 3. You'd find track boring 4. You'd become frustrated with tennis 5. In basketball you'd try to slam dunk every play 6. You'd become violent in soccer."
"How do you know that. You've never seen me play sports."
"I'm good at reading people. For instance, Yamato cosplayed at a teen."
Coach sputtered,"I-I-I never did!"
"You use to cosplay!?"
"NO!"
"As I said," we looked back at Gaara,"I'm good at reading people. You will play baseball or no sport at all."
"...Why did I become a high school coach?"

Gaara's POV
I open my shoe locker and slip off my slippers. Two girls were chatting next to me but quieted and scurried away.
"Could you fucking move?" I looked to my left and saw a tall, silver haired guy giving me a look meant to be intimidating. I continued to stare at him as I took my shoes out and picked up my slippers. He smirked,"Think you're being funny, huh?"
I closed my locker and turned away from him. A hand on my shoulder held me back.
"Where do you think you're goin', bitch? Let's talk."
I turned to look at him and stared right into his eyes gleaming with mischief,"I have a boyfriend."
His eyebrows scrunched up in confusion and since he was off guard I punched him....Below the belt.
He keeled over cursing and groaning.
"Gaara, you here?" He peered around the lockers and his eyes widened in surprise,"Gaara! You okay? What are you doing?"
"I am uninjured. I was talking."
"Umm-"
I walked out the front doors and Naruto followed me. He looked over his shoulder every so often.
"Gaara did you really just fight the new student Hidan."
"No. I talked with him."
"N-No. I'm pretty sure you fought him."
"That is how I hold conversations with people." Naruto paled and shook his head,"What did the coach say."
"That I have to come to the next practice."
I take out my Tamagochi and continue walking with him,"I want McDonald's. Would you like to come with?"
"Uh, okay." he answered with one last look back.
~~~
It is lunch at school and Naruto is buying a drink,"Hey, Gaara, you have any coins?"
"No."
"Well, shit...Wait, Shikamaru!" Naruto runs to him to get a coin but gets caught in a conversation with him.
I hear Kiba's laugh and see him walking towards me with Shino and Neji.
"Hey, Gaara." I nod at him and take a bite of rice,"So, do you happen to know where Naruto has been going these past few days after school?" He sits next to me.
"Ask him yourself."
"Aren't you getting sassy. I also learned that Naruto wants to join the baseball team."
I looked away from him and continued to eat.
"You gonna be his cheerleader? I can have one of my girls lend you some pom poms."
"There is no need for them."
"Alright...Let me just ask you one more question. Why do you hang out with Naruto?"
"I do not understand the need for such a question to be asked."
"Even though Naruto is more accepted now he's still ruining your reputation by being his friend. So why? You can't gain much from him. He's just a stupid blonde-"
"I suggest that you cease talking now."
"Why? Am I telling the tru-" SLAP My hand connects with his cheek. Kiba sits mouth open in shock.
"That is why."
Kiba looks at me and his face breaks into a large grin before he bursts out laughing. Neji gives him a look that conveys 'Have you lost it?' and Shino adjusts his glasses. Once Kiba has caught his breath he smiles at me and slaps me on the back,"You just passed the test, brat!"
"...I do not understand."
"I wanted to see if you were just a douche turns out your not. We're all good now!"
Still not understanding what just happened I pull out my Tamagotchi and leave it be.
