12The Uchiha stared at his computer screen with bored eyes. By now, he would be asleep, but every so often he stayed up to work on his blog, which to his surprise, became wildly popular.
"Fifty stupid questions", he says once he clicks the little envelope shaped button at the corner of the screen.
theyellowstallion asks: What's your favorite position?
Now that was a new one. Given the content of his blog, he wasn't surprised that the question was asked.
"I've never given it that much thought"
The only reply he could give was missionary- only because he'd never done any other position. Although he has dreamed of doing all the wild, fun positions, his previous lover always took control in the bedroom. If they weren't doing missionary they weren't doing it at all. His sex life at that time was rather boring. It could be why he's so cranky and unhappy now.
He sighed, and clicked the next question. Unlike the last question he didn't find it as amusing, and as he continued to reply to every single one, he grew bored and decided he'd had enough.
"I can only answer so many dull questions"
He began to scroll through his dashboard, mildly impressed with the photos before his eyes. "None of these men are as attractive as him", he thought.
Ever since he'd left the gym, all he could think about were blue eyes, dirty blond hair, and a firm, taut behind. To him, the blond was by far the most exoctic person he'd ever seen in his life, even though there were tons of men where he lived who had the same features as him. There was something about the blond that made him stand out- maybe it was his natural tan or his cerulean colored eyes that were noticeable from a distance or the defined arch in his back that made his butt look perky.
"Maybe I'll stop by tomorrow and see if he's there"
As he scrolled aimlessly, he went past a picture that looked awfully familiar. His curiosity immediately rose, and felt the need to find the picture again. Thinking it was just a photo of a familiar scene in a movie, he wasn't prepared for what he saw.
"No...this isn't real"
The picture had over four thousand notes, and he could clearly recognize where it was taken.
"Suigetsu!"
He picked up his phone and called him, ready to give his jackass of a friend a firm talking to. When the man picked up, he couldn't help but yell at him.
"What the fuck are you thinking?! How could you do that to someone?!"
"Relax, relax, his face isn't even in it", the perverted man says.
"But what you did is messed up and I'm sure there are people blowing up your ask box saying the same thing! It's voyeurism!"
"So what?", he snorts. "Besides, look at how popular it is. I've gained about forty followers since I posted the pic"
"That's not the point you moron!", the Uchiha hissed. "What if he has a blog? What if this picture shows up on his dashboard?!"
"Hm. Never thought of that", his friend grumbled carelessly. "But the chances of that are very slim"
"A slim chance is still a chance", he warns him. "If he sees that he'll know that some pervert at the local gym is creeping on him...that's his body Suigetsu!"
"I say as long as his face isn't in it he shouldn't complain", his care free friend defends. "And what's done is done. Can't take it back"
"You...you fucking idiot! I'm not going to let this go and I don't wanna have contact with anyone who would do this to an innocent human being!"
With that being said, Sasuke hung up and through his phone onto his bed. "I can't believe him"
"So how have you been, Sasuke?"
He shrugged, and gave a short answer. "I've been okay"
The man behind his desk pushed his glasses up with his thumb before giving the Uchiha a genuine smile. "That's good to hear. I see you've been working out a lot"
It was almost impossible to not notice how ripped Sasuke was. Little did people know that before he was extremely fit, he was very lean, borderline underweight.
"Yeah I'm at the gym at least seventeen hours a week"
"Keep at it. Staying active is essential", he says as he pulls out a notepad. "Have you been taking your medicine?"
"Not really"
"Yes. On a daily basis"
His therapist wrote a few things down before asking another question. "And how have you been coping with your most recent break up?"
"The gym, to be quite honest", the Uchiha begins. "Helps me work off all the anger"
"That's good", he replies with a smile. "Anything been troubling you lately?"
The Uchiha shakes his head. "No"
"Not even a little bit?"
"Well", the Uchiha begins. "There is this one small thing"
As much as he wanted to throw Suigetsu under the bus, he couldn't. Even though what he'd done really pissed him off, he had no choice to get over it. After all, he could've told Suigetsu what he did was wrong as soon as he took the picture, but instead he decided to take one too. It was also his fault.
"I'm all ears, Sasuke"
The Uchiha sighed and looked down at the floor. "This guy"
"This guy?...do you know him well? Is he someone that you have an interest in?"
"I don't know him that well", the Uchiha mumbles. "But I would like to get to know him"
"Wow. If you actually want to get to know him, he must be pretty special"
The Uchiha nods. "He's nice looking"
"And where did you meet him"
"I saw him at the gym but I never went up to him. I think he might already be taken"
"And why is that?"
"He was with another guy and he was pretty intimate with him", the Uchiha said with a frown. "The guy was really old too"
The therapist's face contorted while trying to think of what to say next. "Well I think you should approach him anyways"
The Uchiha raised a dark eyebrow. "Why?"
"Because you don't know if he's taken for sure, and even if he is, you'll at least get to have a friendship with him"
"You make approaching people and making friends sound so easy", the Uchiha scoffed.
"I never said it was, but you'll only go as far as your mind will let you. If your mind already says 'no' just saying hi to him would be out of the question"
The Uchiha didn't want to admit it, but Kabuto was right. If the idea of trying wasn't on his mind, he would never get a chance to meet him.
"I'll consider your advice"
The man behind the desk laughed as he put his pencil down. "Will a day ever come where you stop considering my advice and actually take it?"
The Uchiha smirked before giving giving a sarcastic answer. "Maybe"
For the next few minutes, the two men held a rather boring conversation. Eventually, the Uchiha decided there was nothing left to say and that it was time to go. As usual, he took the pill bottle Kabuto gave him and left silently.
"Time to hit the gym"
As he walked through the lobby and headed to his car his phone rang. To his dismay, the call was from Suigetsu. Talking to him wasn't on his list of things to do.
"I told him not to talk to me, but of course, he's not the type to listen anyways"
The Uchiha confidently walked into the gym the way he usually did. By now, he was used to the glares of envy from other guys and the starstruck looks from most of the girls. Only this time, he finally caught attention from someone that he actually wanted attention from. In his mind, the man was so glad that his blond was here today.
"Surprisingly, he's here alone", he thought as he observed him. "And there's an open bike right next to him...it's like this day was set up for me to have a chance with him. I didn't even think he'd be here"
As casually as he could, he grabbed the bike next to the blond whose eyes were focused on the screen in front of him.
"Alright, so what do I do now?"
That was a question the Uchiha wish he knew the answer to. If he were to spark up a conversation, he could end up being ignored. The blond was mighty focused, and maybe wasn't as outgoing and friendly as he appeared.
"Hey", the blond said as he turned towards the Uchiha.
The greeting was such a surprise that it took the Uchiha a while to even come up with some type of reply.
"Hey", he greeted.
The blond turned his attention back to the screen, and the Uchiha groaned inwardly. "Well, I should've expected this"
For a few minutes the two didn't communicate, and it bothered the Uchiha so much that he came to the conclusion that he was going to have to do most of the talking if this was going to work. The only thing holding him back was his ego and his pride. If the blond were to blow him off, he would feel like a total fool.
"What do I even talk about to a total stranger?"
It was a stressful situation for the man, but the feeling was cut short when the blond spoke again.
"Man, this is the nicest gym I've ever been to!", the blond said excitedly. "I feel so comfortable here, you know?"
Again, the Uchiha struggled to find the right words. "Shit, this is going to be a challenge for me"
"Uh yeah...it's a nice place", he said to continue the conversation.
"There's even a pool! Do you know how hard that is to find at a gym?"
The raven nodded his head.
"I'm gonna come here every day until I'm too old to walk!"
Now that was a big statement...and oddly, he was turned on by the blond's determination. He liked a man that liked the gym.
"It's a good thing that you like to be active", he complimented. "Anyone your age really ought to be"
"I know, I swear men my age are just getting lazier", the blond complained. "But not me! I'm as busy as a bee and it's almost impossible for me to stay still"
He couldn't help but smirk at the man's enthusiasm. Even though he would be really annoyed by anyone who was this pumped and upbeat, the blond had a pass. He was just too fucking cute and it was causing the older man to become hot and bothered.
"By the way, how old are you?", the blond asks.
"Twenty-four", he replied. "And you are…"
He was better off not guessing, but the way he said it made it seem like he was going to. It was too late now.
"Eighteen?"
The blond's jaw dropped, and regret hit the Uchiha like a ton of bricks.
"I'm twenty-two!"
"I can't believe I was four years off! I was better of guessing an age much older"
"Man, whatever", the blond grumbled. "I've been mistaken for sixteen so I guess it could be worst"
"Sorry", the Uchiha grumbled.
"It's fine", the blond said with a smile. "You know, you seem kind of familiar...were you here yesterday?"
The Uchiha nodded and the blond's face lit up at the sudden recollection. "And you also brought a friend with really weird white hair, right?"
"Yes...I did", he replied dryly.
"It's always nice to have a gym buddy", the blond said chipperly. "Too bad all my pals were too busy to come today"
"You were with a grey haired man yesterday, right?", the Uchiha asked as if he couldn't recall.
"Yup! He's the best guy you'll ever meet. He's really strong too", the blond said with a smile. "He can bench press one hundred and sixty pounds and he's so ripped!"
Even though the raven smiled as the blond went on and on about how great his sensei was, bitter jealousy lurked inside of him. And the more the blond gloated about the man, the angrier it made him.
"But enough about him", the blond finally said. "Cause I'm probably boring you by talking about him so much"
"You seem very close to him", the raven blurted out.
"Very close", the blond added. "He's the whole reason I started going to gym in the first place"
"So he's your inspiration", the Uchiha noted.
"Inspiration would be an understatement", the blond said happily. "By the way, I never did get your name, did I?"
"Sasuke"
"Sasuke", the blond repeated as he began to pant from his hard core pedaling. "I'm Naruto...nice to meet ya!"
