Prom (SasuNaru)

The prom is only ten minutes away from ending. Naruto slides down the wall, bum hitting the ground. He pulls up his knees to his chest and hugs them. He looks up at the night sky, stars reflecting in his clear blue eyes. The night has been fun in it's own way, he supposes. He helped Kiba spike the punch, had gotten Ino and Sakura to get along just for today, hell, he even got to dance with both of them, so why does he feel so empty? Like all energy has been sucked out. He sighs and places his cheek on the top of his knees.

"What a night..." he mumbles and lets his eyelids fall closed.

"Worn out already?" a voice asks. Naruto lifts his head. "The night's still young." He rubs his eyes and looks up to where the voice is coming from.

"Sasuke..."

"Well, obviously." Sasuke rolls his eyes and sits down next to Naruto who only stares at him. He wonders what he'd done to have the school's most wanted guy sit next to him outside the building where the prom was being held. Sasuke huffs and looks away. "Stop staring at me like that. It's creepy." Naruto immediately looks back up at the sky, hoping Sasuke didn't notice his pink cheeks. An awkward silence settles upon them, the distant music making it slightly less awkward.

"Why aren't you inside?" Naruto eventually asks, desperate to break the silence. Sasuke turns his head to look at him, his nearly-black eyes deep in thought.

"Why do you want to know?" Natuto pouts at the cold reply.

"Just trying to make conversation." he says. Sasuke mumbles something that sounds suspiciously like 'cute'.

"Why're you outside yourself?" his head is resting against the wall, letting the moonlight dance across his face. Naruto's eyes seem to be glued to his lips. So kissable... He quickly snaps out of it.

"Well... You see," he scratches the back of his neck awkwardly. "it was getting really hot in there so I thought I'd go out to get some fresh air." it was an obvious lie. Naruto hopes Sasuke won't comment on it. He doesn't.

"Whatever." the silence returns, even more awkward than before. They go back to listening to the music coming from the other side of the wall. After what seems like a decade the song finally stops playing. Naruto sighs in relief, earning a look from Sasuke. He was about to open his mouth to comment on it when the DJ spoke loudly into the microphone, making both of them wince. He announces that the night is coming to an end and tells them the name of the last song. Naruto groans loudly. Sasuke raises an eyebrow at that.

"You don't like Blake Sheldon?" Naruto shakes his head disapprovingly.

"God no." Sasuke laughs.

"Me neither."

"It's like, it's so cliché I think I'm going to cry." Naruto wipes away a fake tear. Sasuke smirks and gets up. Naruto watches him stand up, his black suit melting into the dark buildings behind him. He looks down at his own clothes. He isn't wearing anything even remotely close to classy; an old Ramones shirt, ripped jeans, dirty sneakers and a gray hoodie with a broken zip. Sasuke notices Naruto's insecurity and rolles his eyes at him.

"Don't be so ridiculous." he says. "If I could, I would've gone like that too." he bows slightly and smirks. Naruto frowns.

"What the hell are you doing?" he asks as Sasuke loosens his tie. Sasuke rolls his eyes again.

"May I have this dance?" Naruto raises his eyebrows in surprise. He looks around himself to see if Sasuke was talking to someone else. Sasuke nearly slapped a hand to his forehead. "I am talking to you." he takes Naruto's hand without permission and pulls him to his feet. He puts Naruto's arms around his neck and places his hands at Naruto's waist.

"Hey! Why do I have to be the girl?!" Naruto nearly shouts. Sasuke groans.

"Because I'm the one who asked you to dance."

"Not fair! I wasn't prepared!" Sasuke, not feeling like arguing, sighs and after half a minute of fumbling and curses, they end up both leading in some twisted version of slow dancing, their cheeks touching.

"This is... Quite nice, actually..." Naruto smiles.

"Yeah. You're right." Sasuke smiles too.
