The Life of A Lamb Among Lions [Yaoi] [SasuNaru]

Chapter 3: Revelations

Sai stared at the lone letter he had found in Naruto's locker. How long do I have to keep doing this? He mused, picking it up and turning it over. There's even chocolate attached! He smiled, not even a little bit ashamed at the extent of his excitement. Sitting down on the floor, he opened the letter, hoping for all intents and purposes that Naruto was not the type to stroll into the school hallway at odd hours in the morning.

Dear Naruto,

When I first saw you, I thought my eyes were deceiving me.

Never have I seen such beautiful sun-kissed tan skin, nor hair as bright and shiny as yours.

The way in which your cerulean eyes light up when you laugh and your kissable lips smile, makes my heart jump.

Truthfully, I have been watching you from afar these past two days and cannot hold my feelings back any longer.

Should you accept these feelings of mine, meet me under the 'lover's tree' at the back of the school tomorrow afternoon and I shall show you the depths of my love.

Yours truly,

Rock Lee

P.S. I hope you enjoy the chocolate- I made it myself so you know it's made of the deepest and sincerest love.

Sai removed the small heart-shaped chocolate from the letter and unwrapped it. "Guess he's something of a Petrarchan Lover huh? Didn't think they still existed." he said, smirking, and popped the chocolate into his mouth without a second thought. Mmm...strawberry cream... He thought, easily contented, and then stood up to open his locker. He shoved the letter on top of a pile of other letters as well as with some dried out roses, pictures of boys in provocative poses and other chocolates that even he couldn't eat by himself. Guess that letter was better than the last one, though. Did someone seriously think Naruto's 'lickable ass', as they so crudely put it, is a defining feature?

But Sai was more irked by the fact that Naruto had only been here for two days and had already received a ton of letters. He'd never heard of such a case before even though it had been common for newcomers to get such a reception from boys who were either so sick of having sex with the same people or hadn't found their perfect type yet. Of course, Sasuke had been the closest one to Naruto's case, having been chased by a lot of boys and more particularly Hyuuga Neji, who usually only chased after those he thought were worthy of his attention. If wasn't for that evil glare he'd have probably been successfully raped by now! Sai thought jokingly, unaware of how close he was to the truth. Shaking his head in frustration, he returned his thoughts to Naruto, and decided that some people probably didn't have a good enough gaydar to realize that Naruto was clearly not homosexual.

He headed to his classroom for first period, wondering how long he would be able to protect Naruto from the school's many perverts. Of course, he easily ignored the fact that he was probably just as bad a pervert.

Once he reached the classroom and was comfortably seated at his desk, he laid his head on the table and tried to enjoy the peaceful silence. Why do I bother Naruto? You're not even gay...Not that it would stop me, he grinned evilly at the thought of a naked Naruto. But for some reason, I just don't want to take advantage of you. He closed his eyes and tried to catch some hours of sleep before class started.

Uchiha Sasuke was tossing and turning in his bed and although he knew full well what he was experiencing was a nightmare, he just couldn't wake himself up. He felt tears forming in the corners of his eyes as his voice called out, softly at first.
