The Online Sort Of Love

Chapter 26

"GOD DAMMIT! STOP SPAMMING RED SHELLS AT ME!"

Sasuke burst out laughing, moving out of the way as Naruto tried to slam his shoulder. The boys were in a competitive battle of Mario Kart and from the looks of it, Naruto was raging and Sasuke was winning. The raven controlled his character, zipping past Naruto's and he slyly held a banana peel behind his cart and slowed down to let Naruto his cart and spin out of control and out of the track.

"YOU ASSHOLE!"

The blond exclaimed, his whiskered cheeks puffing out in anger and his big cerulean eyes narrowed in concentration. His bony tan fingers spammed the buttons on his controller in the hopes that he would be able to overtake Sasuke. All the while, Sasuke leaned back against the headboard of Naruto'd bed, smirking coolly as he raced past the race line in first place. He dropped his controller on the bed and turned to smirk at Naruto in content and amusement.

" So another race? What about rainbow road? I think you'll fair better in that course; specially with your 'amazing' drift skills." Sasuke teased, his onxy eyes twinkling in hilarity as he looked at Naruto. Puffed out cheeks adorned with a rosy red hue, pouty petal lips and periwinkle eyes slanted in annoyance.

Of course with that clearly sarcastic comment, Sasuke was met with a pillow to his face.

"Oh you are definitely getting it now dobe." Sasuke growled half-heartedly, as he grabbed the pillow he was leaning on and smacked Naruto on the face as well, laughing at the little squawk that Naruto let out. The blond sat up on his knees and glared the raven down before smirking mischievously and launching himself on Sasuke while hitting him repeatedly with his soft pillow, Naruto howled in laughter as the impact of his pillow knocked Sasuke onto his back.

The boys ceased their fighting after a few minutes, the sounds of panting and hard breathing filled the room. Naruto looked at Sasuke, chuckling at seeing the state the raven was in. Ruffled hair, wrinkled shirt and flushed face; the blond couldn't help but laugh. The blond moved and leaned over to reach the raven, to pat the ebony locks that spiked in every direction. Inching forward, he failed to realise his ankles were tangled in the blankets when...

"The hell are you laughing at d- oof!" Sasuke stumbled and fell, his back falling onto the soft mattress of Naruto's bed with a weight on top of him. His hands accidentally went to hold Naruto's lithe waist, gasping at the impact on his chest. Coming back to his senses, he looked down to see Naruto looking back at him, his adorable face looking confused and disorientated. From Sasuke's angle, Naruto eyes were so big, looking at him so sweetly in a confused expression. Those blue eyes blinked slowly before...

1...

2...

3...

"AHHH! I'm sorry Sasuke!" Naruto apologised frantically, scrambling off the pale boy, his heart skipping many beats. His heart-shaped face was painted brightly red as he looked at Sasuke, gauging his reaction. Naruto couldn't help but let his eyes rove over Sasuke's body, his black shirt had ridden up, revealing the expanse of pale skin and taut muscles. Sasuke's eyes closed partially, his face angled upwards to showcase his sharp jawline. Raven hair billowing out, contrasting against Naruto's snowy white blankets.

He looked beautiful...

'GAH! Stop thinking like that!' Naruto frantically thought, trying to calm down his rising blush. Using all his will the blond turned away, hiding his face from the raven's view.

Sasuke blinked. One second his arms were full with the blond lying down on him and the next second, he was gone. He sat up, leaning back with his arms behind him and he chuckled softly, his eyes softening with adoration as he looked at Naruto's embarrassed face that the blond was clearly trying so hard to conceal. Blond bangs hiding his eyes. Tan hands clutching his shirt in nervousness as the boy fidgeted in the silence.

'Cute...'

"What?"

'Oh shit...'

Naruto's blue eyes blinked at him, head cocked to the side slightly. "Did you say something Sasuke?" He shuffled backwards, giving the raven some space.  Sasuke stayed silent, panicking as he realised he had spoken out loud. Naruto just fiddled with his fingers before speaking up, breaking the awkward silence.

"Uhh I'm sorry... for falling on you. You aren't hurt right?" Naruto inquired. Before the raven could speak, a loud obnoxious pop song blared through the room. Th blond immediately fished out his phone from his pockets, peering down at it.

CALLER ID:

Dog breath :3

"Uh gimme a sec. Kiba called." The blond got off the bed, answering his phone as he exited the room, leaving Sasuke alone.

The raven let out a relieved sigh, thanking whatever higher powers for saving him from a potentially awkward situation. Sasuke flopped back onto the bed, rubbing his hands across his face.

"Why can't I just tell him? Why do I have to be like this?" Sasuke mumbled. He closed his eyes, envisioning the blond and he smiled to himself. He let his thoughts wonder before a small 'ping' sounds alerted him. The raven got up and turned to the source of the noise and it was Naruto's desktop, the screen flashed up with an update reminder. Sasuke snorted.

'Of course Naruto would be one to ignore that.'

The raven flopped down on Naruto's desktop chair. He  moved the mouse pointer to click the update button when his eyes suddenly caught a particular desktop icon.

Perfect World

Sasuke's eyebrows furrowed in confusion and excitement, realising Naruto finally downloaded the game he had been talking about.

'Why didn't that dobe tell me? Maybe he forgot.'

Sasuke smirked before clicking the icon, deciding to log onto his account and play for while. It had been a long time since. He smiled, hearing the familiar login music and seeing the screen but it faltered.

Sasuke felt the blood drain from his face as his eyes met with a familiar name...

WELCOME TO PERFECT WORLD

USERNAME:

KYUBBI

Sasuke felt his breath catch in his throat, his mind jogging back to the last conversation he had with 'Kyubbi'.

'Sharingan: I guess the most direct way to say it is well... I'm in love with someone and it's really messing up my mind.

Kyubbi: Oh... wow. That sucks man. Is it someone you're friends with? Because that must be really tough to deal with

Sharingan: It's cool and yeah. It's this guy I work with on a english project. Think that's when my feelings turned from platonic to... this.'

Naruto was Kyubbi. Menma was a lie and...

Naruto knew. Naruto had known all long.
