Chapter 12-Do Over

Sasuke was busy nursing a headache from the night before. The constant painful throbbing made it hard to concentrate where he was going; let alone do anything, and he wanted nothing more than to stay home sick to avoid the day. However his bassist, Neji, had other ideas. He glared in annoyance at his unwanted companion as he commented on everything under the sun in a more than necessary high-pitched voice.

Neji, having realized the Uchiha’s predicament and not wanting him to fail on the first day of ‘Get Sasuke’s Dobe Back Plan’, decided to leave behind reinforcements to get Sasuke to go to school in the form of his caterpillar browed and bowl-cut haired boyfriend, Lee. Lee, the drummer of Manic Bastard, was walking next to him in the Konoha High School’s uniform. The only difference in Lee’s outfit as compared to Sasuke’s, which was the perfectly tailored and almost a photocopy version of the outfit, his drummer had decided to wear a tight green sleeveless shirt underneath the jacket and in place of the plain black belt, he wore a green and white stripped one with a smiley face as a belt buckle. Sasuke sighed. It was just like the drummer to ‘fun up’ the outfit despite Neji’s horror at his boyfriend’s lack of fashion sense.

“Oy, Sasu-chan!” Sasuke twitched at the nickname Lee insisted on calling him despite his objection to it.

“What?” The Uchiha growled in low tones, since higher ones seemed to instigate his headache more.

Lee smiled hugely, ignoring the angry Sasuke; he was enjoying the day with its full promise. “I think today is full of youthful promise, don’t you?” He turned to give the singer his thumbs up, only to find the other was looking at him like he was crazy.

“And how exactly do you figure that?” Sasuke asked, since he felt anything but good that morning. His stomach began to churn threateningly and he rubbed at it, hoping to ease the pain and made a note to himself to ask the doggy brat later for some of his special anti-hangover medicine. The stuff tasted like crap and you couldn’t get the disgusting after-taste of it out for hours, but it worked miracles. He’d asked once why he didn’t sell it over the counter, and Kiba had just glared at him saying, “It’s a family recipe!” and had walked off, not saying anything else. He wondered briefly if maybe the medicine wasn’t legal. Knowing Kiba, the resident drug and alcohol fiend of the group, he wouldn’t put it past him.

“Well just look at them!” His drummer chirped in happiness, pointing near the Konoha High front gates before clasping his hands together and sighing with tears in his eyes. “The power of youth in all its glory!!”

Apparently they had arrived at the gates to Konoha sooner than Sasuke had thought and as he turned his head to stare at what Lee was so happy about he almost gagged, since it wasn’t what he was hoping to see so early in the morning, especially in his current condition.

At the gates he spotted none other than Naruto being kissed by a strange boy with spiky afro-like hair who was wearing round glasses and a medical mask in front of an unaffected Gaara, who was just standing there like it was a common occurrence for his boyfriend. ‘Why wasn’t the redhead doing anything to pull that freak away from Naruto?’ he thought, moving to intercept the two when he was interrupted in his action by a restraining hand on his shoulder. He looked up in annoyance at an older man with white hair that was partially hidden beneath and overly large flight cap and his face was hidden beneath a scarf wrapped around his face so all you could see were his eyes: one which was blue and the other had a scar across it and was an angry red. In the older man’s hands was a copy of Kiba’s bible, Icha Icha Paradise. “Who the hell are you?” He asked in anger while shoving off the offending hand of the older man.

The older man seemed unaffected by the gesture. “Maa, maa, is that anyway to treat a teacher?”

“Teacher?” Sasuke eyed the other in his dark blue tracksuit in contempt. “You look more like a pervert to me, if the book was any clue!” he stated out loud, which again the older man ignored.

“Ah well, for future references, my name is Kakashi. Maa, before I forget,” he pulled out a small pad of yellow paper and he quickly wrote something down on it before handing the first slip to Sasuke and the other to Lee, “Welcome to detention!” He said rather too joyfully for the situation. Then, with the wave of his hand, he moved to leave. “Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to interrupt Naruto and Shino!”

“But, you don’t know our names!” Lee yelled, gaining the teacher’s attention briefly.

“Of course I do, Lee-kun, Sasu-chan. Ja!” He said with another wave before moving quickly towards a now smiling and laughing blond, and his new afro-haired nemesis (Gaara was gone by that time having given up on the two idiots). Sure enough, when Sasuke looked down briefly at the yellow paper from Kakashi which read, "Welcome to detention Sasu-chan, come after school to Drama Class 12B. Don’t be late!” It was signed with a smiley face and ‘Love and Kisses, Kakashi’. ‘Tch…’ Sasuke thought, already hating the teacher. ‘What a perverted Idiot’.

Walking over to towards Naruto and the other boy Kakashi had called Shino, he heard the teacher introduce them. "C'mon boys, come meet your fellow detentionees!”

He watched as Naruto’s eyes widened in horror at his presence. The blond was always too cute for his own good and Sasuke found his self tempted again by the thought of dragging his ex-boyfriend away towards the nearest closet and having his wicked way with him.

Naruto thrust a finger at him in annoyance. "Dammit, bastard, what are you doing here...!" he managed to grit out between his clenched teeth.

The Uchiha turned to smirk in his direction, enjoying the other’s discomfort. "Same as you, dobe..." he said, watching as the blond’s fists clenched in anger.

"You’re lucky we're on school grounds, teme... otherwise I wouldn't hesitate to kick your ass right now!!" Naruto growled.

Sasuke's smirk enlarged at the threat, and he moved to face the smaller boy till their noses almost touched. "I am up for anything you are, dobe..." He breathed in the other’s scent in delight and almost tackled him right there. He knew that his ex could never ignore a direct challenge. It was something the singer counted on, and he wasn’t wrong if the look in Naruto’s eyes said anything.

Naruto's blue eyes seemed to sparkle at the challenge as he got ready to punch Sasuke, unknowingly getting caught into his ex-boyfriend's trap, only to have Kakashi move between them and place a restraining arm on each of the boy's shoulders. "Maa, maa...” he raised both his hands companionably, “Save it for detention, boys. I promise by the end of the day you'll be friends." He smiled at the two teens, however, the glare that Naruto focused at Sasuke despite the teacher's words promised anything but forgiveness.

Sasuke slightly grinned at the reaction, thinking, 'I'll make you believe me if it's the last thing I do'. Phase one of the 'Get My Dobe Back' plan had started.

Lee realized in that moment that the blond in question was actually Sasuke’s ex. ‘Therefore…’ he thought, turning to look at the other boy next to Naruto that was watching the exchange the blond and the Uchiha had with an unreadable expression, since Lee couldn’t tell what the other was thinking beyond those round glasses covering his eyes and a medical mask covering the lower half of the boy’s face. ‘This must be Gaara, then!’ Lee decided while slapping his right fist against his left’s open palm in excitement. The drummer realized in that moment, remembering how jealous Sasuke had been of the brown haired man kissing his ex, of a great way to help progress the plan Neji had proposed the night before. Thinking this, the bowl-cut haired kid grabbed Sasuke, without thinking about the consequences, by the back of the head and pulled him down towards his level with one last thought: “Sorry Neji-chan, this is for Sasu-chan!’ He kissed the raven-haired boy full on the lips.

Sasuke for his part was shocked and a little appalled at the display and decided in that moment he wanted nothing more than to kick his drummer’s ass, Neji be damned! He moved to shove the shorter boy away only to be beaten in the action by none other than Naruto.

The blond couldn’t tear his eyes away from the sight of Sasuke and that bowl headed boy kissing. It hadn’t taken him long to realize who the boy was, remembering him from the music magazine that had been delivered to his house showcasing the band. Sasuke was kissing his drummer. His fists clenched in anger at the realization; ‘I am going to kill him!’ he thought, before pushing the two away angrily. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?!” he yelled, not realizing what he’d just done.

Sasuke smirked, enjoying the blond’s discomfort with the situation immensely, having forgotten his anger at Lee instantly after realizing that Naruto could only be angry for one reason: and that was because he was jealous. The realization lifted his mood immensely. ‘Now, its time for some much-needed payback!’ he thought while grabbing the blond by his upper right arm. “It looks like you freely give your kisses away, I don’t see why I shouldn’t do the same!” the Uchiha taunted.

Naruto eyes narrowed. “You bastard--!” His words were effectively cut off by Sasuke’s mouth on his own. In the brief moment that their lips connected, it seemed for a moment that time seemed to melt away, leaving the two left with some unnamed emotion. Sasuke took advantage of Naruto’s lapse to deepen the kiss. He licked the rim of the blond’s lips, hesitantly thinking the other might pull away, only to have Naruto moan at the contact before opening his mouth to allow the raven-haired boy to delve deeper.

Sasuke pulled away and leaned his forehead against Naruto’s own to catch his breath under threat of suffocation if he continued. “God, dobe,” he gasped. “I missed you!” He hugged the other closer.

At the word ‘dobe’, Naruto stiffened, realizing to his horror who he’d just kissed. A brief image of Gaara’s hurt face flashed across his vision, leaving him sick to his stomach. He quickly shoved the taller boy away and wiped his mouth, feeling more disgusted at himself than at Sasuke for giving so easily into the other after all he’d done to him. “You bastard…” he hiccupped, feeling the tears accumulate in his throat before they began to leak from his eyes. “I hate you!” he managed to whisper before running off to find Gaara.

Sasuke was shocked by the hurt in his love’s blue eyes, and moved to run after him only to be knocked to the ground by an unsympathetic hand. He looked up to see none other than the brunet Naruto had kissed in greeting earlier, only to realize with shock that the one named Shino was anything but plain. In the course of his interaction with Naruto, the other had taken off his glasses and mask. His face, if anything could describe it, was intense and charismatic. If Sasuke hadn’t been head-over-heels in love with Naruto, he might have thought of giving the brunet a try if the intense hatred wasn’t in his eyes as the other looked at Sasuke.

Shino lifted a bloodstained palm to his face and licked at the surface, his face at the moment unreadable “You do realize you’ve made a huge mistake don’t you?” he stated calmly, while looking at Sasuke while he cleaned his hand.

Sasuke lifted a hand to his face, noticing for the first time that the blood on the other’s fist was his own. “It’s none of your damn business!” The brunette stopped at the words before leaning down to eye the Uchiha on his level.

“Goldilocks and Panda-bear are my special people; you do realize that I would prefer to kill you right now then let whatever you’re doing continue, but I don’t want to make Goldilocks worry. He’s my brother, after all."

“Brother?” Sasuke eyed the other boy like he was crazy, “Naruto doesn’t have a brother!” He should have realized by the small sadistic grin on the other guy’s face that he shouldn’t have pushed his luck.

Shino grabbed Sasuke at the throat, slamming him quickly against the ground before straddling him. You don’t know when to shut up, do you?” The brunette squeezed his hand, causing the other to gasp and claw at Shino’s arm. The brunette ignored this and leaned as close as possible to the Uchiha’s face: “I am only going to tell you this once, so you better listen, bastard!” He squeezed his hand again. “Don’t go near Goldilocks again, or you’ll wish for death many times before I’m through with you!” He picked Sasuke up by the neck before shoving him one last time to the ground before standing up. “Remember that, Uchiha, for I am not as forgiving as Panda-bear when it comes to the one he loves most!” And with that, he left.

Lee rushed over to Sasuke after he had left briefly while him and Naruto were kissing to talk with Kakashi, who had walked away before then getting out of detention, only to watch in shock at what Shino had done. He moved to help the singer up. “God, Sasu-chan are you okay!? The raven-haired boy only pushed his hand away in contempt.

“Fuck off, Lee!” he yelled, getting to his feet. “First thing I’m going to do when I face that fucker again is to kick his ass!” With him out of the way, no one could stand between him and Naruto, other than Gaara, and to the Uchiha, that’s really what mattered. “C’mon, Lee!” He adjusted his shirt and tie that had gotten messed in the struggle. He replayed the day: so far he’d had the worst of hangovers, received detention, gotten his first kiss after 3 years with Naruto, and had gotten strangled within seconds of the kiss. It was officially the worst day ever, but Sasuke was determined to turn it all around.
