You, Always {Uchiha Sasuke}

Out in the Open

        There was no way he could've imagined it, never thought it had come to this until this Monday morning at Konoha High.

        Sasuke was just casually minding his own business in class, drawing down notes in his notebook looking as emotionless as ever. But once his eyes were curious enough to look to his right side, there she was.

        With her head cradled in her arms, eyes staring at the board in front of them in effort to give some attention, Ayu was the same as always. But just by looking at her made his chest clench in anticipation, reminding himself the other day at the beach and their misunderstanding.

        It saddened him at the same time that he remembered something so depressing, causing him to lower his head and dropping his shoulders in defeat.

        Suddenly, a piece of paper that was folded multiple times flew to his desk spot on as he eyed it carefully. Taking it in his hand, Sasuke unfolded the paper to see what it was.

        'YOU LIKE AYU!' it read in bold, messy handwriting, added with a small drawing of Naruto's whiskered face with a hand holding a peace sign.

        Frozen in his spot, the ravenette grew blue and glanced up, finding the blond boy from a couple seats away with the same face and peace sign, mimicking his attempted portrait on that note.

        How could he figure it out?

        Sasuke hurriedly took his pen and scratched the evidence off before crumpling it back up angrily and then swing it at Naruto's head when the teacher isn't looking.

        Naruto, who squinted at the paper ball that bounced off his head, wasn't affected by it.

        With a discouraged groan and deepened frown, Sasuke sunk into his seat as he felt violated by the yellow haired maniac invading his love life. In that moment, he knew that life wasn't going easy on him.

        After class, there wasn't time for the Uchiha to escape from the blonde's chokehold as he was already pounced by his enthusiasm. Distraught, Sasuke sadly watched Ayu leaving the classroom.

        "I knew it!" Naruto was tailing up on him in the halls. "I saw everything!"

        With a reddened face, Sasuke averted his irritated eyes back at the blonde.

        "Will you keep it down?" he urged his voice lower in hopes nobody hears his secretive affections. "What the hell are you getting at?"

        Naruto snickered a laugh, holding the most cheesiest grin upon his lips and pointed at him accusingly. "Don't play dumb with me. I may be an idiot but I can sense what's going on."

        Then the raven stilled at his suspicion and broke out a cold sweat. A person like Naruto would be reckless for knowing something like that in his life. So at this point, he was freaking out and unaware of what to do or say.

        "If we weren't waiting for your ass to get back in the car, I bet you anything that something would've happened," he continued quietly as he watched the Uchiha boy grew red by the thought.

        Flaring his eyes, Sasuke defended hoarsely, "I was just getting my jacket from her."

        The look on his face disapproved his answer and hummed. "Uh-huh... Yeah, you took your time getting it back." With a snort of a laugh, the yellow haired teen slapped a hand on the raven's back in-spiritedly.

        "Don't deny it. I saw how you looked when Ayu fell asleep on you in my car. The way that you were looking at her was kinda... intense. You're like a kid staring at a toy through a glass window."
