narutos pov

When i got home and formed into my own body, i couldnt stop thinking about tonight. About what sasuke had said. He admires and has a crush on me? but how? He never shows any emotion towards me at all or anyone in that matter. he said he cares about me and wouldnt want to see me get hurt, but how can i beleive it? I do, but i dont understand why. Why ? Why does he care? i couldnt handle anymore thinking, the last thought that crossed my mind was how tasty his ramen was.

the next morning i decided i wouldnt form into my sexy jutsu and that she would "stay home today."

In class we had an assignment that was a big part of our grade. How annoying! We just got done a project in history and now we have an important assignment in science!

"Oh cmon! Give us a break we keep doing all these projects its exausting." i shouted, releived i dont have to play an innocent Haruko act. The teacher ignored me and i inhaled, about to conplain more when i saw Sasuke glance behind him at me. When he glanced at me, my heart stopped and i closed my mouth. His dark eyes captured mine and in that moment i couldnt think of anything except how...how piercing his gaze was and why it lingered longer than usual. i broke the gaze and opened my science notebook.
"Find a partner for this expiriment and you may work on it for the rest of class." the teacher said.
Sasuke was always working alone. I sometimes worked with Hinata or Kiba. Kiba came up and asked if i wanted to work with him, but i said maybe next time instead of my usual yes. when everyone was standing at a lab table with their partner while sasuke and i sat at desks alone, i stood up and walked over to him. For the first time, i Naruto Uzumaki would be asking Sasuke to be my partner. did it have to do with last night? yes. why? im not sure, i just wanted to do it. hearing sasuke say he cared about me the night before, made me feel weird. But that wasnt the only thing he had said to make me feel weird.
As i walked, i got more and more nervous. i was sweating and i almost turned around to go and be partners with Kiba. When i was finally right behind his sitting form, i cleared my throat which caused him to turn around and look up at me. He was glaring at me, but now all of a sudden, i could tell it was a fake glare, that he didnt mean it. i guess what im saying is that it was just a mask because i know he has a crush on me.
"Do you need something?" he asked, sounding annoyed. ouch.
"i uh, would you like to be partners?" i asked, gaining all my courage. i stopped breathing while i waited for an answer. For a split second, his features softened but then hardened again.
"Thanks, but ill work alone." he turned his head back to his notebook.
Why, that asshole! no, i know how he feels, he is just pretending. i saw it in his face! ill be patient with him...
"Please, Sasuke?" i asked through gritted teeth. All of a sudden he looked annoyed now.
"Why do you have to say it through gritted teeth? Are you playing some game with me?" He said calmly but annoyance definitly in his voice.
"No! im not playing any game with you! Why do you have to be an emotionless prick all the time!" i said, angrily. I shouldnt have said that because the night before he had said thats what most think of him which implies he is probably sensitive about it, at least when i, his crush, says it.
Sasuke lost his control after i said that. He stood up and stepped in front of me.
"Why are you getting mad, Sasuke? dont like being called an emotionless prick? then maybe you should show emotion!" i yelled. we caused a scene and people were now staring.
"Listen, Naruto i dont know why you want to be partners in the first place and neither do i care. Just leave me alone." He said lowly, sending chills down my spine. but good ones. I loved how he said my name, even though out of anger.

"Really? You dont care, Sasuke? Because i think you care. I think you care alot." i said slowly, smirking.

He scoffed,
"Its funny that you think i do." was all he said.

"Why do you hate the fact of being partners with me?" i asked furiously.
"Because i dont want to be partners with the nine tails jinchuriki." He said after a pause.
i stilled. i pressed my lips hard in a thin line so my lips wouldnt quiver as tears whelmed in my eyes. I turned around and walked out of the classroom, slamming the door as hard as i could. i ran out of school to home. i was hurt. how could he say that to me?

Sasukes pov

When i felt Narutos presence walking towards me, my heart started beating faster. I tried getting myself together. When he cleared his throat i looked behind me at him. what he asked me made me happy, but he said it through gritted teeth that angered me, was he being forced to as a prank or game...? probably, so i declined but then he got upset and i dont know why. He called me an emotionless prick and that hurt. i dont particularly like being called that but i absoloutly hate it when he said it to me. it felt like being stabbed in my chest.
what i said next, i regreted. but what i regreted most was what i said after that. he asked why being partners whith him is a problem so i came up with the best excuse possible, which was because he was the nine tails jinchiriki. i regreted that as soon as it escaped my mouth. It was a lie of course. i knew i crossed the line when i said that, because thats when Naruto stopped arguing. He didnt even gasp or show any suprise he just stood there, hurt in his ocean eyes. He pressed his lips in a thin line before turning around and walking into the hallway. Slamming the door so hard wood chips from the door frame fell to the floor. i crossed the line, and i feel terrible. Yes, the stoic uchiha feels hurt and terrible.
