DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO...SADLY, IF I DID, PLEASE KNOW THERE Would BE YAOI.
Summary:
Naruto had been acting strange for a couple of months and although Sasuke wouldn't admit it, he was growing worried about the blonde; Naruto had saved him from any decision that might have killed him or cost him his soul(like going to sound).Since Naruto brought him back, Sasuke began to develop feelings for his blond teammate; but Naruto began distancing himself form Sasuke, and then everyone altogether. So every one agreed that since it was his fault for the blonde's behavior, Sasuke was to try help the most.
so here he is out side Naruto's apartment building. It wasn't the nicest building; in fact it was rather rundown; drug dealers, prostitutes, and gang members all made their presence known some how. 'how could anyone live here?, shouldn't they knock the building down and rebuild a new one?' thought the raven haired teen.
Walking down the hall that led to his teammate, Sasuke could hear really loud music. Sasuke had no problem with music, it was just so annoying compared to the quiet he had accustomed himself to over the years-living alone would do that. Reaching Naruto's door, Sasuke found that the music was coming from there.
'Maybe this isn't the dobe's address; ill have to ask' Sasuke thought as he made his way over to an obvious drug dealer. He was about to ask when the man beat him to it.
"You lookin for some product, den you at the wrong place man; you talk to me if you lookin to buy, not Angel."
Sasuke just stared at the man, trying to understand what the man was talking about; then it hit him.
"OH! No it's not like that, I was just looking for a friend of mine; Naruto Uzumaki, maybe you know him?"
"yeah, man like I said, Angel; that's his place; any ways man, I'm D, if you eva wanna buy summim, hit me up; I'll even hook you up since you know Angel. He's a coo kid, ya know? He got a lot shit growing up, but he's always smiling ya know?"
With that "D" walked away.
'how does the dobe know a drug dealer?'
walking back to the door, he knocked on it; when no one answered, he banged on it. Again when no one answered he reached for the door knob and turned it. Surprisingly, it wasn't locked. (one would think that if someone lived in a building with criminals and hookers; they would lock their door.). Once he opened the door, the music seemed to get louder since there was no wall to muffle the sound. Sasuke looked for the source of the music and found a rather large sound system. ' Stupid idiot is going to go deaf ' he thought as he turned off the music.
"what the fuck?" Sasuke turned around to see an angry Naruto sitting on the window pane; staring at him with a cigarette between his lips. If it wasn't the fact that the blonde was pissed off, Naruto looked really hot; he was only wearing a pair of black cargo pants that were extremely baggy on him and his hair was messy. Naruto had grown his hair out over the years so its a little longer than Tsunade's and no longer spiky.
The sound of door closing stopped Sasuke from saying anything. A man who looked to be in his mid twenties walked over to the blonde, purposely unaware of Sasuke. He had spiky brown hair and green eyes; he wore some blue jeans and a white button up top. The most noticeable yet disturbing thing was the man's wedding ring. 'Naruto's married? To a guy?!?' the poor Uchiha was torn between happiness and misery: the blond is gay(or bi) but he was married. "hey, I had fun last night." the man said before he kissed the blonde- and not just a peck on the lips, with the moaning and the touching, it had to be the most erotic kiss ever. When Naruto had wrapped his arms around the man's neck to pull them closer, Sasuke noticed a lack of a wedding ring on the blonde's ring finger.
After what seemed like forever, they separated "I bet you did" said the blonde, responding to the man's previous statement. The man just laughed and pulled out a wad of money and handed it to Naruto who took it and began counting it. It was at that time the man turned to leave but noticed Sasuke, who was doing a mix between glaring and frowning. "Already? Damn you have a busy day today, Angel." "come on baby, it's not like that. He's just someone I grew up with; an old friend from the rich part of town" replied Naruto taking another puff of his cigarette before tossing it out the window. "Sure, alright. But what's he doin' in this part of town?" and with that, the man walked out the door and left.
An uncomfortable silence rang throughout the small dingy apartment. Sasuke just stared at the blonde fourteen year old, searching for the right thing to say. He was speechless. No one -everyone the blonde knew- had seen the boy in three months, not since that day and here he is: married to a guy almost twice his age and living in the most rundown part of Konoha, but it was all the blond could afford. Ever since Naruto was 'let go' as a shinobi by the council, the blond had a hard time paying rent, bills, even buying food. His friends tried to help the best they could-- could that be the reason Naruto distanced himself? Because he hated being dependant on people to survive? Or was it because he didn't want to bother anyone? Sasuke inwardly yelled at himself. This was all his fault. If he never would have left for Orochimaru, Naruto wouldn't have had to beat the shit out of him to return to the village and the blonde wouldn't have been fired for 'attacking a fellow shinobi and proving to be an unstable individual' "so Sasuke" the Uchiha looked at the blonde who had just finished counting the money in his hands. "What are you really doing here, in this part of town? You don't seem like a drug addict to me and you really don't need to leave the comfort of your mansion to get laid, so what do you want?"
"um.. Well. I ..um" the blonde's question caught him off guard and he was trying his best not to look like a stuttering idiot in front of the one he loved. "your husband seems nice." and for the second time in one minute, he was caught off guard. He hadn't expected Naruto to laugh. 'well of course he's laughing at you idiot, who answers a question with small talk?' "Aha….ahaha….ahaha..he's ….not …..AHAHAHAHA……my husband ….haha" as the blonde continued to laugh Sasuke felt a flicker of hope. " I'm sorry I……just ..saw a wedding ring and thought….. Well then who is he? Is he your boyfriend?" By now Naruto had stopped laughing.
"It's okay, but to be honest I have no idea who he is or what his name is. All I know is that his wife thinks he was on a mission last night." Naruto said as if he was discussing the weather. Sasuke was a little miffed at this " if you don't know him, then why was he here and what did he mean by 'I had fun last night'?"
The blond just rolled his eyes "what do you think? I slept with him stupid. And people say you're a genius." if Sasuke was mad before, now he was livid. He walked up to Naruto and grabbed his arms harshly "You mean you slept with a complete stranger?! What the hell is wrong with you? Why would you do something like that?" Naruto just stared at Sasuke. "yes I slept with a complete stranger, how else would I pay rent?" Naruto said blankly.
