Naruto practically glowered at everyone entering the night club, all of them were coming for the new dancer which annoyed him to no end, why? Because it meant more fights whenever a dancer here got popular it meant trouble, drunk idiots trying to get sex, drunk idiots following the dancers to their cars a typical Friday night but on a Sunday night.

"Don't think so."

"What? Let me in man."

Naruto arched a brow at the male. "Grow some more pubes and come see us in five years kid." He rolled his eyes, as the kid tried to argue with him. "Look I was your age I snuck into a strip joint."

"Then come on man cut me some slack I'm almost there."

"Get, now." Naruto spoke coldly. "I said I was once that don't mean I'm gonna let you in." The kid huffed stomping away giving Naruto the bird as he did so. He shook his head rolling his eyes as he turned back to the line. "Oh, come on cut me some slack I'm not that stupid." As soon as he finished a group of teenagers walked away, making him shake his head.

It wasn't unusual for teenagers to try and get in, only tonight it seemed worse simply because they had a new dancer something about fresh meat attracted people and made Naruto's night a living hell.

"Hey bro take a break." Naruto lifted his chin grinning as Kiba stood in front of the door. "You're a life saver bro, it must mean ya want something."

"Na man I just love leading the kids on that come here make 'em think their getting in then shut the door in their faces and laugh, it's fucking funny as fuck." Naruto snorted as two more people walked away.

"You're an ass man." Naruto started in the door as Kiba grinned. "Yes I am, but that's why were friends dude." Kiba called out as Naruto disappeared inside they were busy, but it was like he said they got busy.

Naruto sat on a stool at the bar nodding his head towards Shino who was leaning against a wall his eyes constantly sifting watching for any trouble but when he saw Naruto he nodded back but quickly went back to what he was doing.

He shook his head as the small male behind the counter came up to him. "Usual Naruto?"

Naruto nodded as he reached over the bar brushing the male's hair out of his face as the smaller body just smiled. "You don't have to check my face every night Naruto."

"I do Haku, he hits you again and I'll be killing him." There was one thing Naruto couldn't stand even more than the people who came in here and it was abusive people.

"I told you it was an accident and it won't happen again, trust me. If thought it would I would leave him." The male smiled as he started away.

Naruto snorted. "A fist doesn't accidentally hit a cheek." Naruto turned looking around the club the music playing and the lights low, he made a resolve he had been here working for five years as a bouncer he got close and cared for the people he worked with like Haku. Haku was a kind person with bad luck, Naruto had gotten to where he didn't just protect them at work, the first day Haku came to work with a bruised cheek was when Naruto decided he wasn't just a bouncer he was a personal body guard to his friends. But that's what friendship was to him, maybe it wasn't the best way when your two best friends were bouncers you met at work on your eighteenth birthday and your other friends were either strippers or bartenders.

It may have not been the best place to make friends, but hey he would take these guys over rich stuck up or normal people any time. After all they were just trying to make living, who wasn't?

Naruto leaned his head back as the drink and a basket with fries and a burger were sat on the counter for him. "Thanks Haku."

"Welcome." The male smiled both turning when the announcer finally came out, Lee made anything sound like a good thing. Though he guessed the new dancer was a good thing to the customers. He shook his head not paying it any real mind as he turned back to eat. He usually had about 20 minutes to eat if he was lucky, before any trouble starts.

The beat was more slow than normal it was usually to drag out the show so the newbie had plenty of time. Naruto never really paid the shows any mind he came to think of the strippers as his baby brothers hence he really couldn't stand watching them onstage.

Naruto stretched as he turned away from the guy on the ground walking back to the other side it was a record for him five guys in three hours normally they didn't have so many stupid people around, either way a busted lip and a headache hopefully the dumbass learned his lesson for the night he shouldn't have been dumb enough to try and head butt Naruto. He guessed it wasn't the guys fault but Naruto had been in enough fights, mosh pits and more fights to not be bothered anymore by it.

Naruto furrowed his brows closing hour was a bitch.

Now he was just getting annoyed he stalked to where a dancer was standing back towards Naruto he pushed some drunk away but the fool was still coming onto him. The raven haired dancer didn't even have a chance a fist came flying past his head hit the drunken guy and knocking him back. The drunk trying to scrambled and get up before Naruto could land a kick to his gut. The male rolled over groaning as the raven spoke. "I could have handle it myself dobe."

Naruto rolled his eyes. "Good for you, but I'm not getting bitched at cuz the new dancer got a bruise on him." Naruto finally turned to face the dancer for the first time that night. Cerulean met ebony both males stared quietly at each other. Before the raven snorted. "Hn."

"What the hell kind of response is that?" Naruto furrowed his brows when something caught his eye. "Oi, I know your not walking home alone." Naruto yelled over his shoulder as the male walking tensed stopping in his tracks. Naruto sighed running his fingers through messy blond spikes. "All right come on." Naruto gripped the ravens' wrist as he started towards Haku.

"Hey!" The male he was holding onto tried to pull away, but went ignored. "All right Haku lets get you home first that whatever your name is I'll walk you home next."

"One my name is Sasuke; two I don't need you to get home." The male growled, "and let go of me already."

"Hey look Sasuke, it's my job to see that all the dancers and Haku gets home safely. I don't care if you like it or not deal with it. I'm taking you home. And where do you think your going?" Naruto turned back to the male who was trying to sneak away.

With a growl and a death grip on Sasuke's wrist they started down the street, Naruto growled again after about ten minutes they came to stop in front of a small apartment complex. "Haku I mean what I said."

Haku turned nodding with a small smile. "Yes papa."

Naruto's eyebrow twitched as he turned towards Sasuke, he wouldn't comment on that right now. "Okay lead the way so I can get home and get to bed."

"I can get home from here on my own." Sasuke glared.

"Look I'm walking you home like it or not." Naruto crossed his arms, he preferred knowing where the dancers lived, in case problems came up.

Sasuke growled as his arms were finally freed. " I just moved here so I was going to rent a motel room." he gritted out.

Naruto blinked a few times as it sank in, Sasuke didn't have a place? "All right come on." Naruto grabbed his hand again as they started in the other direction Sasuke again protesting as he tried to pull his hand away.

All of Sasuke's protests went unanswered and all his attempts to get free failed he didn't see how the towering blond idiot could be so strong. "Hey you know this could be kidnapping." Sasuke raised his voice as they entered a rundown apartment complex.

"Hey shut up already I'm just giving you a damned bed to sleep in, so chill out." Naruto rolled his eyes again.

Sasuke glared at Naruto's hand. "You could at least let go of me."

Naruto waited until they were in the elevator before he released Sasuke's hand. "You don't know me." Sasuke glared at the doors.

"And?" His adrenaline was gone and he was tired, he didn't want to play a hundred questions right now.

"How do you know I won't steal from you and disappear?"

"Well we work together for one, for two there's nothing worth stealing." Naruto stepped out as Sasuke followed.

"I don't need pity."

"Not giving you any." Naruto dug in his pocket for his keys as the moved down the hallway in silence.

"You're not going to ask?" Sasuke stared at Naruto's backside.

"Nope." Naruto unlocked the door pushing it open. "Look there's a twin sized bed you can have, it's in the same room as mine but its only a one bedroom." Naruto waited until Sasuke was in locking the door and motioning for Sasuke to follow. "Showers through there if you want it. You got anything to sleep in?"

"Ya in my bag." Sasuke dropped the backpack from his shoulder. "Right fridge and everything's over there I'll take a shower after you." Naruto started towards the bedroom.

Sasuke watched Naruto disappear into the room as he grabbed his bag again moving towards the bathroom.

Sasuke entered the bedroom he was going to tell Naruto the shower was his but the male was already passed out, he stared at the sleeping male before looking at his bed. He closed his eyes falling back on the bed grimacing at the loud squeaking sound echoed he briefly looked over to see if it woke Naruto, it hadn't. He moved slightly only to have the sound echo again. Now he knew why Naruto took the other bed he moved laying on his side the bed squeaking every time he moved an inch. He wondered if sleeping here was really better than the two-bit hotel.
