Oh Romeo!

Closer

Sasuke was the exact opposite of what he was rumored to be.
Dark. Mysterious. Ruthless.

It was probably just the Uchiha legacy that created such a dark image of them.
These past few days were weirdly enjoyable with him.

"How's everything going" mighty guy asked as he entered my room. He set my books down and starred at me curiously.

"Good...surprisingly, Sasuke's a good guy. I'm starting to really like him..." I played with my fingers nervously. But wait. Mighty Guy was never really interested in how I was doing. What's going on?

"Why the interest?" I raised an eyebrow suspiciously.

He starred at me for a minute before bursting into tears.
"Naruto!! The whole kingdom misses you!" He cried.
The whole kingdom?

"There hasn't been a single accident since your departure, everyone has noticed your absence!"
I small chuckle escaped my lips.

"Your father dines alone and at times forces the servants to eat with him, it's terrifying. He ...." he paused, "laughs with them, There's even a certain servant that's been acting rather flirtatious, I believe it's an attempt to take the throne"

"What?!"
"Your father has paid little to no attention to him! Don't worry, he asked me not to mention a word of this" he panicked.
"I need to go back!" I headed towards the door.
"No! Naruto!" We raced down the hall.

I bumped into Sasuke who was walking towards my direction.
We both fell on the floor with me on top.

"Ouch" he winced as my head bumped his chin.
Ouch!? My head just bumped his diamond cut jaw!

"Naruto?" He quickly stood us up and checked me for any injuries.

"Are you alright?" He frowned.
"Yes-"

"No! He's not!" Mighty guy came running shortly after.

"What?" He questioned in confusion.

"Sasuke, Naruto wants to leave and it's entirely my fault, I told him of a situation back at home and he feels it's his responsibility to resolve it but please help him understand that the place he needs to be is here!"

Sasuke starred at me in shock.

"Sasuke please, my dad is alone and I'm the only family he has"

"Fine"
"Please...Wait what?"
"You can go.."
"Sasuke...." I felt a bit disappointed that he didn't try to stop me.

"But I'm going too" he smiled.

I felt my face burning up.

"Really" I refused to make eye contact with him.

"Yes dobe" he rustled my hair as if I was a child.
"Don't do that teme!" He laughed and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"You're cute" he whispered in my ear. I felt my heart skip a beat.

"Ehm...." Mighty Guy cleared his throat.

"We'll leave first thing tomorrow, but for now, I have to ask, who's Romeo?"
