"Wow, you actually did my homework," Naruto says as Sasuke passes him a stack of papers.

It's the early morning, an hour before school starts and Naruto meets Sasuke at the elevator. He stares in amazement as he looks over the handwriting.

"You even got my handwriting right. How'd you do that?" Naruto asks and Sasuke smirks.

"My brother taught me how to forge signatures," Sasuke explains while winking at Naruto. "It's easy."

Naruto tilts his head and looks up towards the ceiling. "Your brother? You mean Itachi, right?"

Sasuke's body goes tense at the name. He glares at Naruto and grabs at his sleeve. "You know him?"

Naruto looks at the hand that's grabbing at him and chooses his next words wisely. "Well, y-yeah."

Sasuke's glare only becomes deadlier as he pulls Naruto closer to him. "How do you know him?"

The question comes out as more of a demand than an inquiry. Naruto sees the murderous look in Sasuke's eyes and shivers. The words stick to his throat as he stumbles over what he's trying to say.

"W-Well, I met him, well I-I didn't really m-meet hi-him. I-I ju-just... we-we," he stutters, not ever giving Sasuke a straight answer. "I-I was at th-this pl-place and, I don't know."

Sasuke's blood begins to boil once he thinks about Itachi touching Naruto, even the thought of their hands brushing together makes him want to go on a rampage.

Naruto continues to ramble even though Sasuke is no longer listening. Sasuke's now in a bad mood and his usual overbearing self begins to shine through.

"Shut up," Sasuke snaps as he pulls Naruto even closer. "I don't care, just stay away from him."

Naruto rightly assumes that Sasuke doesn't particularly like his older brother and a thousand questions run through his head. He wants to ask Sasuke, but the tight hold on his sleeve warns him otherwise.

Sasuke looks to his right and sees the stairwell leading downstairs. He tugs Naruto towards it as possessive thoughts claw at his mind. He needs to mark Naruto as his or else someone else - like his brother - will claim him. This is the longest someone has lasted without being marked up by Sasuke, and the horny teen can hardly stand it. He doesn't want to be overbearing but he can't help it. Coming on too strong is just in his nature, and he can't help the fact that he's sexually frustrated.

They walk down a couple flights of stairs but stop between level two and three. Sasuke turns to Naruto and traps him in a corner. The look of hunger is evident in his black eyes as he stares down the slightly shaking teen in front of him.

"You look good enough to eat," Sasuke purrs as he places a hand on Naruto's stomach. Naruto wonders how every time he's around Sasuke, he always ends up being pinned to a wall. "Let me kiss you."

Naruto shakes his head, not trusting himself to speak. Sasuke pushes up Naruto's shirt, exposing his stomach to the drafty breeze in the empty stairwells. Naruto shivers at the touches, knowing damn well his body is going to betray him. Mentally, Naruto isn't ready for sex, he's too scared of what can go wrong and insecure about his body. But physically, his body is so ready to be dominated and he hates his slutty body for it.

"I'll give you whatever you want," Sasuke says smoothly, trying to persuade Naruto into having a make-out session with him. "Just give me your body. Submit to me."

If Naruto didn't have some type of self-control, then he would've melted at Sasuke's words. He grips his papers and squeezes his eyes shut. Sasuke begins to unbutton Naruto's shirt, exposing more of his skin. All of a sudden, Sasuke's touches stop.

Naruto pops open one eye to look at Sasuke and then the other. He looks down at his disheveled clothing, seeing that Sasuke only unbuttoned his shirt halfway and pushed away the left side of his shirt. Sasuke lifts one finger and points to something right above Naruto's nipple.

"What's this?" Sasuke asks his voice calm. Naruto looks to where Sasuke is pointing and instantly turns red in the face.

A fucking hickey?! Naruto mentally screams. He's mortified as covers himself. He thinks back to the time him and Gaara were making out on his bed. He remembers his lips and tongue, licking and sucking on his skin.

"So embarrassing," Naruto mumbles as he tries to button up his clothes. Sasuke just stares at Naruto's chest, praying that no one has claimed him yet. He doesn't care about anything else, as long as they don't mark him as theirs.

"You're not, seeing anyone are you?" Sasuke asks a little hesitant. Naruto shakes his head as he fixes his clothing. Sasuke feels a weight being pulled off his chest and relief washes over him.

He tugs at Naruto's sleeve, no longer wanting to make-out with him. "C'mon, let's get to class."

...

Sasuke's possessiveness becomes worse as the day goes on. He doesn't want anyone around Naruto. He sits next to Naruto in every class and worries every time Naruto goes to the bathroom alone. Whenever the teacher turns to face the board, Sasuke always places his hand on Naruto's thigh, rubbing gently. Naruto never pushes away his hand which leads to bolder moves from Sasuke.

Sasuke allows his hand to travel to Naruto's inner thigh, making the poor boy squirm in his seat. Naruto looks over at Sasuke, cheeks red with embarrassment. Sasuke doesn't notice, for he's taking notes on the lesson. Thankfully they're in the back and no other student is paying attention to them.

"I'm trying to focus," Naruto whispers and Sasuke looks up from his notes to stare at Naruto.

"Then focus," Sasuke whispers back with a smug smirk. Naruto squirms again once Sasuke moves closer to his crotch.

"Stop it," Naruto grumbles with a blushing face. "I really need to focus."

Sasuke pulls his hand away and sighs. Naruto says his thanks to Sasuke and focuses back on the lesson, but he can't help but miss the hand that rested on his thigh.

...

When lunch rolls around, Sasuke drags Naruto around with him. He introduces Naruto to Suigetsu and Juugo. Suigetsu immediately sees that Sasuke is trying to court Naruto and becomes a little jealous of the blond. Juugo could care less about Naruto. Once Sasuke leaves to grab a bite to eat, Naruto sits patiently at the table, waiting for Sasuke's return.

"So, you're Sasuke's friend?" Suigetsu asks bitterly.

"Y-Yeah, I guess," Naruto answers, unsure of himself. He doesn't like the way Suigetsu is staring him down like he wants to kill him.

"You know, Sasuke is only pretending to like you. What he really wants from you is sex, and once he gets that from you, he'll toss you aside like he did to all his other boy toys," Suigetsu growls while stabbing at his food. Suigetsu feels a burning feeling in his chest and oh boy it's not heartburn.

Suigetsu was also one of Sasuke's former boyfriends, but unlike the other guys, he still wanted to be friends with Sasuke. He became close to him, but he still couldn't revive their intimate relationship. He's watched Sasuke go through a handful of boys with spite filling his form, and no matter what, he tried supporting Sasuke through each and every relationship.

But for some reason, he can't let this relationship happen. He feels as though Sasuke is treating Naruto with more love than he has ever treated him. He holds Naruto's hand while they're walking, he's going around and flaunting Naruto to his remaining friends. Not only that, but he kisses Naruto's hand like he's a fragile princess. Suigetsu hates him.

Naruto nods and smiles at Suigetsu. "I know, and we're not together. Just friends."

Suigetsu chokes as Sasuke returns. Sasuke sits next to Naruto and says, "Naruto, I bought you a sandwich. I know you said you weren't hungry, but I know that's a lie. Your stomach was growling throughout third today."

Naruto takes the wrapped sandwich from Sasuke's hands and blushes. "Thank you."

Suigetsu looks at Sasuke incredulously, wondering what the actual hell is going on. He watches them both eat their lunches and glares at Sasuke. He grits his teeth and continues to stab at his food while staring Sasuke down.

What the hell does this shithead have that I don't? Suigetsu thinks as his fork stabs deeper and deeper into his food.

Sasuke feels eyes boring holes into him and looks up from his food. He cocks an eyebrow while continuing to chew. Naruto senses the air around them becoming tense. Juugo also recognizes the uncomfortable air but minds his own fucking business.

"What?" Sasuke snaps, glaring back at his friend. Suigetsu lets out a frustrated growl and stands from his seat. He swipes his own food off the table and storms out of the lunch hall, cursing all sorts of profanities.

Sasuke rolls his eyes and continues to eat. Naruto looks back at Suigetsu's retreating form and feels guilty. Sasuke sees that Naruto is looking concerned for the moody teen and touches his hand softly.

"He's fine," Sasuke reassures him with a quick smile. "He's usually happy and jokes around, but he must be in a pissy mood today. Just ignore him."

Naruto can't just ignore him, however. He can't shake off this weird feeling. Why would Suigetsu tell him all of that stuff about Sasuke? Like who actually cares about that?

"I don't think he likes me," Naruto shares his thoughts while turning back to Sasuke.

"That's too bad," Sasuke says without any care in his voice. "I won't be friends with him if you don't want me to."

"You'll cut him off just like that?" Naruto gasps, trying his best to glare. Sasuke studies Naruto's face thinking he looks like an adorable pouty child. He looks at Naruto's puffed out cheeks, pouty lips, and the little wrinkle between his brows and smiles.

"Well, ye-"

Juugo finally speaks up, cutting Sasuke off. "Jealous," he says monotonously.

"Huh?" Sasuke shifts his attention to his normally quite friend.

"Suigetsu is jealous," Juugo restates and then he points to Naruto. "Jealous of him."

All of Naruto's muscles stiffen. He can't believe someone is jealous of him. But why? What does he have that Suigetsu wants?

Instinctively, he looks to Sasuke, who's staring at him all dreamy-like. Something clicks in him as he realizes what he has.

Naruto has Sasuke's attention, something everyone here wants. He knows that Sasuke has dated at least half of the population here, and he assumes that Suigetsu must've been one of Sasuke's ex-boyfriends. Most of Sasuke's exes become territorial of him and resent whoever gets to date him next.

He looks around the lunchroom and sees some of the teens are glaring at him from afar, others whispering to the person next to them while still glancing his way. Naruto gulps and feels the eyes stab through him. He doesn't want all this attention. He doesn't want Sasuke's attention. He wants to blend in like everyone else and make it through school without being picked on.

Naruto's stomach stirs and a feeling of dread washes over him. He drops his sandwich on to the table, no longer feeling hungry. Sasuke notices Naruto's change of behavior and pulls him closer.

"Are you okay?" Sasuke whispers into his ear. Naruto unconsciously flinches away from him, hoping he won't try to kiss him in front of everyone.

"I'm fine, I'm fine," Naruto cries out, scooting farther away from the guy that'll get him killed. His heart rate increases as he looks around, more people are glaring at him. "I-I have to go."

Suddenly, Naruto stands and escapes the lunchroom. Sasuke calls out to him, asking Naruto to wait. Sasuke curses and runs after him, catching up just before Naruto turns a corner.

"What's wrong?" He asks while grabbing Naruto's shoulder. Naruto shrugs, not wanting to tell Sasuke about the problem. "C'mon, tell me."

His voice sounds soothing, a voice Naruto can trust. He caves, and spills everything.

"I don't like this attention Sasuke. I really don't. I want to be your friend, but I don't like the fact that now I have a target placed on me because I'm hanging around you. You know that your exes envy and hate the next person you decide to date and I don't want that to be me," Naruto confesses while grabbing a fistful of his own shirt. "I don't want to be bullied again, I don't want to change schools."

"Come here," Sasuke says, pulling Naruto closer. The frightened teen shakes his head. "Don't worry, no one is around."

Naruto looks around and sees the hallway that they're in is empty. He instantly falls into Sasuke's arms upon this realization. Sasuke tightens his hold on Naruto and enjoys the contact.

"You don't have to worry Naruto," Sasuke says, his voice angelic and comforting. "No one will hurt you, I promise that."

Naruto clenches a fistful of Sasuke's blazer and buries his face in his neck. He craves comfort and reassurance, and the only person that can give that to him right now is Sasuke, as much as Naruto dislikes it.

"Don't mind it," Sasuke says as he pulls back from the hug. He pecks Naruto's lips quickly and cups his cheek.

"You'll be fine because I'm on your side."
