Life is Life

Speak

I woke up and rolled off Sasuke I don't know how long we slept but it was a good nap. I didn't think I was that tired, I picked my phone up off the desk and looked at it. It was 5:54 pm so we slept for an hour at least I looked over at Sasuke he looked so peaceful.

I walked out of the room and down the hall I know where the bathroom is now which I thank myself for remembering. Being here a lot helps because getting lost in this house is the worst and I don't want to do that again.

I used the bathroom and stood in the doorway for a second do I want to go downstairs and get a snack? The answer is yes, yes I do but will I? No. When Sasuke gets up I'll ask him to get me a snack. I moved out of the doorway and started my walk back to Sasuke's room I hope he's up because I don't want to wait but I also don't want to wake him up he might be a grumpy person when woken up. Kind of like my mom she hates being woken up which is one of the reasons I am scared to get up in the middle of the night and get a glass of water she hears everything.

I kept my head down at the ground counting the steps I was taking that's just a sign to tell you how bored I am right now. Counting my steps. I looked up just in time to stop myself from walking into a tall male. His hair was the same as Sasuke the same color eyes as well. Ah yes, the brother.

He cleared his throat and I just then noticed I was staring at him, directly at his eyes like I was in a trance. God damn I did it again I was off thinking while my face was glued on to someone why can't my face automatically turn to the ground when I am in thought?

I cleared my throat too and finally found words "Hi, I'm Naruto" he didn't look happy but he also did not look angry he had that neutral face that Sasuke wears everyday at school. He doesn't care but he could be interested without you knowing because he is that good at hiding his thoughts and emotions.

I shifted awkwardly and uncomfortable under his intense bored stare. "I should probably get back...." I said unconvincingly but I don't know anything about this guy and Sasuke said he was dead which can mean a few things. He sees his brother as someone who is dead to him, he wishes his brother was dead and or he actually thought he was dead for a little bit and then he came back to life. Highly unlikely but I don't know it happens sometimes.

"Are you my brothers friend?" He asked, his voice was softly aggressive he wanted an answer but he clearly is used to talking to people with that aggressive stern voice. But I am not someone he can boss around so he added some softness to it. Not well but its whatever maybe he always talks like that.

I nodded my head and smiled at him "You were here the other day right?" once again I nodded my head I don't know where he's going with these questions but I don't want him to not like me.

"So my brother must actually like you" He smiled at me. I stood there my mouth open for a second before I regained myself and nodded.

"I guess, I mean he does have a bit of an attitude a lot but hes actually nice." I said apparently finally being able to complete a sentence in this man's presence.

"My name is Itachi " he introduced himself I am pretty sure I already knew that but at the moment my head was drawing a blank.

"I'm glad Sasuke is making friends I know he's always been a bit of a handful but he means well. I'm proud of him"

I grinned at Itachi, "but I must ask you, are you a good influence on my brother?" I stood there no adult has ever asked me that before. I'm the good student I don't think I'm a bad influence at all if anything I am helping Sasuke out he is definitely more happy then usual. But is that my doing? But also is that what someone who is a bad influence would think? Am I a bad influence without my knowledge?

Holy crap! What am I doing to myself? I'm losing my mind, right now of all places?

"What did you do to him Itachi?" Sasuke asked as he made his way over to us. I blinked a couple of times and shook my head more than once.

"No! I'm not a bad influence at all" I yelled begging him to believe me. I just met him I don't want him to think anything bad of me.

Itachi just smirked at me and then looked at Sasuke my face was growing red Sasuke was looking at me weirdly "Sasuke are you sure you're friends with him? He doesn't seem like your crowd of people he is nothing like Neji" Itachi said. I looked at Sasuke and then at the ground. I guess I am rather different from them aren't I? Maybe he can tell how awful I am at sports just by looking at me. He seems like he has the power to do that.

"Yeah he is much more annoying" Sasuke said with a smirk. My head snapped up and glared at him I raised my hand and hit him the stomach.

"Don't say I'm annoying you are much harder to put up with than me" I told him. I heard Itachi start to chuckle. Sasuke glared at him and scowled at me. I smiled at him he turned his head his frown no longer present on his face.

"Well I should go I have plenty of work to finish" Itachi said as he started walking away. He stopped and turned back to us "It was nice to properly meet you Naruto, and Sasuke I'm thinking this one is a good one" he smiled before turning back and walking down the long hallway.

We stood there for a minute both our faces red, I let out a nervous laugh "Sasuke" he looked at me "I'm hungry" I whispered. He rolled his eyes and we made our way down the stairs.
