Ok... sort of kind of back. Sorry for the delay. Im a bad person I know. Very short but its better than nothing... right?

“No, what?”

“Sasuke is looking for a girlfriend!”

“What?! Are you serious!?”

“Absolutely!”

“How did you hear that...”

Sasuke sighed as he walked through the corridor. All day these whispers had been following him, and he was beginning to tire of it. Especially when it meant nearly every girl in the college had now asked him out.

'I am going to kill Naruto...'

“So, did anyone ask you out?” Naruto asked, a bright grin on his face. Sasuke glared blackly at him

“Did anyone ask me out? Did anyone ask me out?! Hmm, let me think... oh yeah. Only every female in the whole college! What were you thinking?!” Sasuke snapped.

Naruto's grin faded slightly.

“Well I thought the best way would be to let people know you needed a date for a family function... that way you can let people come to you.”

“Well somehow people have taken “need a date” for “desperate for a girlfriend”, so I think your brilliant plan may have backfired, genius.”

Naruto huffed.

“Hey, you dont have to be so bitchy. I'm just trying to help!”

Sasuke sighed.

“This is ridiculous. Telling people I need a date is never going to work. It's just going to make the stupid crazy girls stupider and crazier. Jesus Naruto... you need to think.”

“Ok, ok... I'm sorry.” He said softly.

Sasuke sighed.

“Dont worry... I... I appreciate you trying.” Sasuke managed to choke out. Naruto looked at him, and raised his eyebrow.

“Hmmm... what was that? Was that a thank you I hear? The great Uchiha Sasuke thanking someone?!” Naruto said, grinning slyly at Sasuke, who went slightly pink.

“Shut up...”

Naruto's grin spread.

“Ooh Sasuke appreciates me! You're welcome Sasuke, and I appreciate that you notice my efforts and thank me. I cant believe it... I should have recorded it!”

Sasuke was glaring hard at the grinning Naruto, all the while getting more and more embarrassed.

“Wont you shut up?!”

“Awww... isnt that cute?! Sasuke is blushing... so cute!” Naruto said and wrapped his arms aroung the smaller raven. Naruto leaned back to look in Sasuke's eyes, which were still glaring at him, but he could see the glimmer of laughter in his black eyes. Naruto leaned and and whispered huskily into his ear.

“I think I like it when your cute...” He said, and nibbled at Sasuke's ear. Sasuke didnt say anything, but Naruto heard the whisper quiet hitch of breath that gave Sasuke away.

“In fact... I like almost everything about you...” He breathed into Sasuke's ear. He ran his hands up and down the length of Sasuke's body, giving the raven goosebumps. Naruto sat down on the couch and pulled Sasuke down with him so Sasuke was facing him, his hands never stopping.

“Well now I've gotten you in a better mood... I've been doing some thinking about this predicament we're in...” Naruto said, hands still running up and down Sasuke's back. Sasuke narrowed his eyes suspiciously at Naruto, his fingers playing on the waist line of Naruto's jeans.

“I dont like the sound of that.”

“Will you just hear me out?”

Sasuke rolled his eyes but didnt say anything.

“Thank you. Now... why dont we just rope a girl into this?”

“What are you suggesting?”

“Well... why dont we get you a fake girlfriend?”

Sasuke looked hard at Naruto.

“That's not the worst idea you've ever come up with... but how would we choose?”

“Like I said... we just rope a girl into being your fake girlfriend. She doesnt know the situation, so it will be easier to convince your family that you are really going out. And Itachi gets his fun because it means you have to put up with some girl thinking you're her boyfriend. And afterwards, you apologise but say its not going to work and off you both go. She doesnt get too attached because you havent been together long, and Itachi get his kicks. You and me get to walk away from it free. How does that souund?”

Sasuke thought about it. Honestly, he was still totally opposed to the whole thing. But he was more opposed to the thought of Itachi telling everyone about them, so this seemed to be the lesser of two evils. He still had massive doubts about the whole situation, however at this point... Naruto's idea seemed to be the least stupid. And also the least complicated.

“Fine... let's try your way... we'll see if it works. Just one thing?”

“Yeah?”

“How do we find a girl?... Without telling the entire college that Im “desperate for a girlfriend.” We saw how well that worked last time.”

Naruto grinned at Sasuke.

“Leave that to me, my handsome young man... leave that bit to me.”

Once again, Sasuke had the feeling that this was going to end very, very badly.
