The Girl With Two Buns. A NejiTen Fanfic

🎊 👏 500 reads!🍻🎉

Thank you all for the 500 views! I appreciate the votes, comments, reads and support so to celebrate, I am posting a one shot of my modern AU story called Dance. I haven't released it yet because I am still planning on how the story goes (If you have ideas, feel free to PM me about it). I plan it to be a school AU where the students are put into classes based on their grades and a fic that will be fun and centered around Naruto. Ah me! Enough talk, unto the story.

Today would be a shitty day.

Naruto sighed as he mounted his bike. First, he had little to no sleep last night. Second, he woke up late, irritable and annoyed. Third, his bicycle's wheel decided to take a vacation so he spent time fixing it. All these coincidences made the blond teen decide that today would not be good.

It didn't surprise him much when he found another person doing his job in the coffee shop but it still hurt. He was about to ask what was going on when the shop owner called him separately into her office.

"Naruto, can I see you for a moment?" The blond followed her into her office where he awaited the worst. "I am sorry but I can no longer keep you in this shop." The bombshell was dropped.

"W-what?! But I have been working here for almost a year now!" Naruto complained.

"Yes and my business has been putting up with you likewise. The shop hardly attracts customers just because it is you serving them. I only took pity on you and employed you but it is not doing good for me." The woman slid a paycheck down the table towards him. The tan young man took it and frowned at the digits there.

"This is not my full pay! You gave me a half salary last month and didn't pay at all the month before that." Naruto complained.

"Like I said, it is because of you the business is not running well. It can't be helped that I gave you half your wages. Now please leave, I have work to attend to." The woman stood to leave the office.

"It's unfair! I worked harder than everyone here, how could you do this?!" Naruto protested but it fell on deaf ears.

Upon getting to his rooftop apartment, he saw the landlord furiously knocking on the door and that was when he remembered that he had been given a quit notice the week before. He was to either pay on before today or move out. Neither options were good for he had no money or a place to move to if he moved out. The landlord, after his knocking barrage, noticed the teen coming and marched to meet him.

"You are owing in your rent! I am very sure that you were given a quit notice, Naruto!" The man bellowed.

"I am so sorry, can I pay half of it?" The blond teen bargained.

"Absolutely not! You have been owing me for three months now. Either pay in full or leave this place now!" Landlord raged. Sighing, Naruto packed the little he had and surrendered the key to the landlord.

Stares were cast his way as he trudged down the street with his bag. His bike made squeaking sounds as he pulled it along with him. He could hear the whispers but paid them no attention for he was used to all of the hate directed towards him. Naruto allowed his legs to take him wherever they willed as he mindlessly wandered around the streets of Konoha.

By the time he came to, he found himself in front of a local dance studio. It wasn't anything fancy, just a small building with graffiied walls where hipsters liked to hangout but it was Naruto's second favorite place in Konoha, the first being Ichiraku Ramen shop.

I can sleep here tonight, I guess.

And with that thought, he pulled his bike over next to the building and went inside the open doors of the place. It closed at five everyday so Naruto made a plan to hide during the closing hours. That way, he would be locked in and would have a place to rest.

A blond brow raised when he heard the soft thumps of a dancer's feet against the floor. He thought the place was empty. His feet drew him towards the sound to an open door where he saw the most beautiful sight ever. A girl dancing. Her black shiny hair which seemed navy blue under the light bounced off her body as she danced to music playing on her purple headphones.

Naruto found himself entranced by her beautiful moves. He noticed that she used her toes to dance sometimes and it was graceful like a swan. The girl suddenly noticed his presence behind her through the mirrored walls (Naruto had no idea when he walked inside the room) and spun around.

Unique pupil-less lavender eyes met with ocean blue eyes and both froze for a moment. She's beautiful! Naruto was starstruck. What ever moment they had was broken when the girl's ivory face bloomed red and she ran away, shoulders brushing against Naruto's in the process.

The latter sighed at the reaction. He was unsurprised that she ran after realizing out who he was. Putting the thoughts behind him, he decided to hide in the changing room.

That's it! Let's meet again in another chapter of TGWTB! Bye for now.
