《Finally Happy》Chapter 4
Advertisement
"All right guys! Let's run 500 laps around the gym!", a voice shouted from the middle of the gym. Naruto sighed as he walked up to the green, blindness inducing blur that was their P.E teacher. The man wore a god-damn green leotard!
'Talk about nightmare inducing.' Naruto shuddered as he went to the man, trying to make up a good excuse as to why he couldn't run.
"Um... Guy sensei? Do you mind if I sit this one out? I uhh- twisted my ankle yesterday." Naruto 'smoothly' lied, giving the man his best innocent look.
"OH MY CHAMP! Of course you can! MAY THE POWER OF YOUTH HEAL YOU!" Guy sensei said passionately. Everyone around them just sighed as if this happened often.
"GUY-SENSEI!" Another horrendous green blur shouted from a distance, running towards them with literal anime hearts in his eyes.
"LEE!"
"GUY SENS-!"
'POW'
Said green blur was sent flying off to a distance as Neji punched him.
"Shut up Lee and let's get on with the period." Neji said calmly.
During all the commotion, Naruto walked off to benches and sat in the highest row, away from anyone. He opened his bag and took out a sketchbook and started drawing random things. Many people didn't know this about the blonde but he could draw. He could draw well. It was something he didn't tell to many people. He didn't want the attention. As he was drawing, again the same pair of raven eyes stared at him in concern and hints of love.
'Damn... Where the hell did those bruises come from? Did he get into gang fights or something?' The thought of Naruto being in such a situation scared him.
But Sasuke couldn't do anything. Protecting the blonde would only cause trouble and Naruto would never accept it anyway. Sasuke continued to stare at the blonde dobe, noticing little tiny things.

Like the way Naruto would chew on his pencil.
Or the way he would scratch and ruffle his spiky hair when he is in deep thought.
Or the way he would rub his cerulean blue eyes, to get rid of the sleepiness.
Sasuke couldn't catch the smile that appeared on his face as he looked at the blonde. Everything about him was so...
"SASUKE-KUN!"
The raven was immediately startled from his thoughts as he turned to see his absolute nightmare...
Fucking fangirls.
One especially annoying one latched onto his arm in a strong vice grip.
"Hi Sasuke-kun!" A pink haired girl said as she tried to look enticing by batting her eyelashes.
"Get off him Billboard brow!" A pale blonde haired girl screamed, pulling Sakura away from the raven. Soon hoards of girls began fighting, pulling and pushing each other away, clawing at each other's hair.
Naruto looked up from his book to see all the commotion. The sight that met his eyes made him fall to the floor laughing.
Hoards of girls running around and grabbing at each other. Punches were being thrown, by-standers were trying to break the whole thing off but the thing that made him laugh the most was seeing Sasuke in the middle of it, with his hair messed up and his shirt ruffled and torn, with a completely murderous look, glaring daggers at everyone coming next to him and throwing anyone that latched on to him.
Naruto fell to the floor, laughing and clutching his stomach, tears falling down his face. Looking up at the scene, he got a clear view of the raven, which made him laugh even more.
'Sasuke looks kinda hot with his hair messed up like that...' Naruto's eyes widened when he realised what he had thought.

'WHAT THE FUCK! HELL NO! UGH! What the hell did I just think?!' Naruto blushed. Worst thing of all, he came into eye contact with Sasuke. The blonde's blush deepened and with that he quickly stuffed his bag and ran off to the next class, not even caring if the bell had rung or not.
Sasuke turned around to see who the hell was laughing in the expense of his torture, when his eyes met to the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.
Naruto laughing.
His eyes were scrunched up, glistening tears falling from those eyes, with the most biggest smile plastered on.
That smile he hadn't seen in years.
The blonde was clutching his thin body as he was laughing the most harmonic bell like sound.
Sasuke smiled again, love clearly evident in his eyes as he looked at Naruto. At that moment, blue and black clashed, as they looked at each other. A red cherry blush appeared on Naruto's face and in that second, he was gone.
The raven tried to look over the crowd to see Naruto, but he had disappeared.
Sasuke couldn't help grin when he saw Naruto blush.
'Maybe... Just maybe, we could be something.'

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
