A/N: Written for Bendita15's birthday. She wanted an AU NaruSasu story with Naruto as Sasuke's drama teacher, and this is what I came up with :D. It's a chaptered fic, ten chapters long, and I already have the other chapters written, so there's no chance of me getting a horrible bout of writer's block or getting to busy or whatever and leaving you guys hanging for months… (I swear, I will get "The Ones You Love" done eventually!)
Disclaimer: Does Naruto belong to me? No. Do I claim it does? Only in my mind.
Warnings: Yaoi and a Teacher/Student relationship where they're both of legal age. Also, this chapter contains flirting, and I'm not entirely sure how it turned out. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Sasuke's POV
I can't believe I actually agreed to this.
It's not of my own choice, I swear. It's that damn Lee's fault. "Oh! Sasuke! You work too hard! You should do something fun! Something YOUTHFUL!" So, it's all his fault. It's totally, completely his fault that I'm standing outside a drama class, about to go inside and make a fool out of myself. And the bastard isn't even going to be here tonight! He signed up with his boyfriend, Gaara, but he's not going to be here the first night. Bastard.
This is horrible. I'm going to be horribly embarrassed and never be able to show my face on campus again, just because Lee thought I needed something "fun". "Fun" meaning I go straight from my last class of the day to this acting class (which is clear on the other side of campus, I might add), where we basically have an acting workshop for an hour before rehearsing for another hour, and at the end of the quarter I get to go onstage and perform. Live. In front of hundreds of people...
Oh, lord, kill me now.
Maybe I can not go and say I did. I could hide out in the library for two hours-
Wait. Hide? Oh, no. I don't hide. I'm stronger than that! However bad this acting thing is, I'll go in, I'll do it, and I'll be great at it! There is no way I'm backing down now!
...Stupid Uchiha pride.
Okay, whatever. Just steel myself... and walk in.
I look around, trying to spot a familiar face. A few that are vaguely familiar, and- Whoa, what do we have here?
Standing on the other side of the room is (at the risk of sounding horribly cliché) quite possibly the most gorgeous boy I've ever seen. Spiky blond hair, crystal blue eyes, scars on his cheek that look almost like whiskers- Okay, yeah, the orange jumpsuits a little bit questionable, but aside from that!
I make my way over to his side of the room. I just stand there for a moment, looking at him close up, taking in the details as he writes away on a yellow notepad. After a moment, he turns to me. "Hey there." He says with a friendly smile. "Can I help you?" I scoot a little closer to him.
"Well, that depends." I reply. "I have nothing going on this Friday; maybe you can help by filling that up."
He seems confused for a moment, before realization seems to dawn on his face. He smiles at me, looking very amused. "Are you asking me out on a date before you even know my name?"
I smirk at him. "I'm not hearing a 'no'."
His amused smile starts to go more towards a smirk. "I suppose you're not. Maybe we should..." he moves a little closer to me, "...get to know each other more first." He extends his hand. "Naruto Uzumaki. You?"
I shake his hand, holding onto it a little longer than necessary afterward. "Sasuke Uchiha."
"So, Sasuke Uchiha," he says, "What exactly brings you here?"
I shrug slightly. "A friend suggested it. He thinks I'm too stressed out. To be honest, I didn't really want to go at all, before. But now..." I sweep my eyes over his body very conspicuously. "... I'm definitely glad I did."
"Well," he says, leaning in until he's only a few inches from my face, "I'll do my best to make sure this is a very enjoyable experience for the both of us..." He leans in just a little bit closer.... Before suddenly pulling away. He smirks at me one more time, before grabbing his notepad and walking to the front of the room. "Everyone, please take a seat on the floor." Wait, what?
Once everyone is seated, he continues. "Welcome to 'Acting and the Arts'." he looks directly at me, and smirks slightly. "I'm your teacher... Naruto Uzumaki."
...Looks like this class will be more fun than I thought.
