The Online Sort Of Love

Chapter 4

"I'm baaaack!" Naruto shouted as he entered the doorway, taking off his sneakers. Silence was all he was met with.

"Huh? Guess mum is out." Naruto said to himself, walking into the kitchen.

"Time for lunch! Yes! Hope there is any leftover ramen." Opening the fridge, he peered into it and blue eyes lit up in excitement.

"Fuck yeah! Ramen!" The blonde haired kid fist-pumped the air and quickly grabbed it, placing it into the microwave and waited for it to heat up. Leaning against the counter, Naruto's mind strayed to thoughts about school. Not school specifically, but one student.

'Why? Why was he looking at me? He's one of the popular students... But it seems like he notices me?' Naruto questioned as he strayed further into his memories.

*Flashback*

"Hey! Asshole!"

Naruto threw back his head, arms clutching his stomach as he howled in laughter while Gaara just chuckled softy.

Opening his eyes, through the tears blurring his cornea's, Naruto stared back at the deep black eyes looking at for a second and at the moment, it felt like time had slowed down and the universe conspired to make this moment long lasting. The moment when sapphire met onxy.

As reality set it, Naruto realised Sasuke was looking right at him and his laughter ceased, his eyes widening and at that instant, Sasuke immediately turned his head away, long ebony bangs covering his eyes. With that, Naruto tipped his head forward, a pink blush dusted his whiskered cheeks.

'Why was he looking this way? Was he looking at me?!' Naruto frantically thought. He looked forward, wondering if it was someone else that the attractive ebony haired boy was looking at.

'Oh... maybe it was Sakura he was looking at?'The blond thought as bright pink hair met his eyes, seeing Sakura giggling along with her friends.

"Yeah... must be Sakura." Naruto whispered, a little disappointment seeped into his voice.

"Oi! Block-head! What's caught your attention?"

*Reality*

'Why was I disappointed? It's not like I want his attention!' Naruto vehemently thought, denying the sadness he felt. Sighing, he cupped his face in his hand, moving the bony hands to grab his sunny blonde hair and pulled it harshly.

The boy slumped his shoulders.

"Who am I kidding? I always wanted him to see me. We could've been friends. Maybe more..." The tan cheeks erupted into a red blush as he whispered those words.

*Beeeeep*

Startled from his thoughts, Naruto realised his ramen was done heating up.

"Yes! Rameeeeen tiiiime!" Naruto sang, grabbing his lunch and walking to his room.

*Ding*

"Hmm? It's probably Kiba." Placing the bowl of ramen onto his desktop desk, he sat and made himself comfortable onto his cushion seat, crossing his jean-clad legs onto the seat. Grabbing his phone, he checked the message notifications.

*10 minutes later*

"Fucking finally!" Naruto huffed out a relived sigh. Wearing his headphone, he clicked on the Perfect World icon. Music blasted into his ears.

"Ahh!" He immediately lowered the volume. Looking at the desktop monitor, the screen showed the login screen for the game.

Smiling gleefully and rubbing his hands together, Naruto's eyes lighted up in excitement.

"Finally. It's show time!"
