Ok, hey peoples, I just came up with an (what I think) awesome idea, and I plan to write on it. Yeah, I know I still have to update my other story, but this just couldn't wait, ok? And I promise I will update that one, I just needed to write this one down.

So, of course, it's a SasuNaru, so warning there will be shounen ai, and maybe yaoi, but that's still an iffy.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, but I sure as hell wish I did. :P

"Share with me the blankets that you're wrapped in

Because it's cold outside (cold outside)

It's cold outside…"

I sighed as I walked down the street, listening to my iPod. My favorite song had just started playing, and I already wished my life was the song. Because it really was cold outside. Ironic, no?

I was freezing in my small attire: all I had on was pair of trousers, and a light shirt. It was November, and even though it wasn't the middle of the winter months, it was really cold in Konoha. I wasn't stupid. I had known that it would be cold at that moment. I just couldn't afford it, what with paying for rent, food, and bills, I couldn't even scrounge up enough to treat myself to some chocolate. I had a job, but it was the worst paying job in town, my favorite ramen shop. It was a pretty popular place, Ichiraku's, but didn't pay nearly as well as it should have. It was also the only one which would even interview me, ignoring my…past.

As soon as I got inside my apartment, I immediately felt the change of temperature, to the point where I could have probably tasted it. I looked around his room, my face blank, taking in all the items in there. It wasn't cluttered, like most people would have expected it to be, but very neat and clean. Everything, even the countless amounts of ramen, had its place. But it was also crowded, with obviously not enough room for a seventeen-year-old. Again, it was the best I could afford.

I looked at the clock, and sighed again, quickly changing, before slipping into bed. It was late, and I didn't even have to wait to fall asleep.

The next morning, I woke up and saw the sun shining in brightly through the windows. Crap! I'm going to be late for school! I had fifteen minutes left before it started. Without bothering to grab anything to eat, I grabbed my backpack, iPod in hand, and rushed out the door towards Konoha High.

The thing was, I lived in the smallest possible town that was somehow large enough to be called a city, and everything, I mean everything was named after it. Except for Ichiraku's, of course. Let's see, there was Konoha Preschool, Konoha Primary, Konoha Junior, and Konoha High. There was also Konoha Academy, Konoha Campus, etc.(1) So it wasn't really hard to remember the names of all the places.

I stole into my seat just as the bell rang, sighing in relief, and pasting a huge grin on my face, before turning to look around the classroom. Sakura, Kiba, Shikamaru, Chouji, Ino, Shino, and Hinata were all there, along with a couple other people whose names I couldn't be bothered to remember. They were my friends. There was also Sasuke-teme (2), sitting at the back of class, glaring as usual. He had a problem like that, he just liked to glare for no reason at all, even when all the pretty girls came up to him, practically swooning over him. He'd just glare at them and send them all scuttling away.

At that moment, he turned to glare at me, and I glared back, before both of us turned our heads away, him at the wall, I'm guessing, and me at the teacher. Who looked very angry at the moment.

Ikibi-sensei, our teacher, was usually the kind of person who gave off a break-the-rules-and-I'll-make-sure-you-die-a-very-painful-death aura. But I guess I was immune to it, because I didn't even blink as he came up to me.

"Uzumaki, you were nearly late."

"Sorry, sensei. At least I'm here, right?"

"Be careful, Uzumaki, or you'll have another detention heading your way."

I nodded up at him, and stretched my grin for good measure, before he turned towards the class, and started the lesson. Ugh. History was so boring. I mean, who in the world cared if a man named Alexander the Great existed, and did whatever he did to make himself so great? I could have trudged across Asia and killed a lot of people as well, I just had the misfortune of being born a few thousand years later!

When the bell finally rang, I sighed and stayed back for a bit, waiting for my friends. When they finally caught up with me, I grinned up at all of them, especially Sakura, and I had to ask. Yes, I had to. "Sakura-chan, will you go out with me?"

I looked at her expectantly, already knowing the answer, but still somehow hoping. The response, same as always, began with the usual sigh, then glare, followed the usual are-you-serious look.

"No, Naruto, I will not go out with you."

"Please! Come on, Sakura-chan! It'll be fun!" I winked my left eye suggestively at the last word. Wait for it.

"NARUTO!" Slap. "How dare you say something so disgusting in the presence of a lady?" She looked like she was about to same something more, but just at that moment, the teme had to pass by, completely capturing both Sakura, Hinata, and Ino's attention. Yeah, I noticed all three of them at the same time. I was just awesome like that.

"Oh, hello, Sasuke-kun! How are you?" Sakura put on her oh-my-gosh-it's-Sasuke! voice, and fluttered her eyes up at him. It was rather annoying. She nearly grabbed on to his left arm, which was in his pocket, and Ino nearly did the same. Nearly. We could all tell that the Uchiha was especially pissed off today, so they tried to keep their 'flirting' at a minimum.

He looked even more annoyed at the sight of them, so he didn't say anything and kept walking. Ino, thinking she might be better off, and trying her luck, asked the same question, but was flatly ignored. Hinata, who was closest to the door, fiddled with her fingers, looked up at him shyly and blinked, before looking back down. We all noticed how he paused before her, nodding discretely, before continuing on his way towards his next class. I figured we should do the same, and started chatting it up with my buddies that were going to the same class as him, namely Kiba and Hinata. The others had science, with Asuma-sensei, for second period, while the three of us, and the teme of course, had art with Kurenai-sensei.

Kiba, who was standing loyally by Hinata's side, and I started talking about the latest upcoming party. Seriously, that was all we seemed to do now, in senior year. Go to parties, I mean. There was usually at least one every odd week, and five every normal one. All of them were thrown by either Sakura, Ino, or Hinata. Yes, Hinata. The girl may have been incredibly shy, but she had some money, to say at the least, like the other two. But we all knew why she even bothered throwing the parties.

To all the parties, the teme was invited. And he only ever showed up to Hinata's house. It was usually one of those times when I felt sorry for Kiba, who obviously liked her a lot, since there was definitely something going on between the Uchiha and the Hyuuga. Not to mention they made an odd pair. But hey, who was I to judge?…That's right, one of Hinata's best friends.

I kept floating through all those thoughts as I chatted with Kiba, my mind so used to it, it did it without me even noticing.

Huh, that was surprising.

I did not, however, realize when we got to the classroom, that I was actually in the classroom. So, naturally, I kept talking loudly, even when Kiba had shut up, embarrassing myself without even realizing it.

That was until I waited for a response from Kiba, or Hinata, whichever really, and got none. Then, a scary voice snapped me out of my stupor.

"Uzumaki, care to explain why you're babbling to the whole class about going to a party at Hinata's house tonight when you're supposed to be paying attention?"

I gulped. Audibly.

"Um…sorry, sensei?"

"Darn straight, you are! Next time you have detention! Go sit by Uchiha instead of Inuzuka or Hyuuga this time!" Why couldn't she just have said damn?

"Hai, Kurenai-sensei."

I trudged up to the back where the teme sat, grumbling about my luck, or lack there of in this case, on my way.

"Shut up, Uzumaki, before I make you." Yep, that shut me up all right. When had I started being so loud? Oh right, always.

I sat down without a complaint, but my face told the whole story. Well, at least part of it. Clearly, I did not want to sit next to the teme. By the look on his face, I wasn't his first choice either. Good, at least that cleared up some things.

The rest of art passed by in a blur, with me not even paying attention. Really, who needed to pay attention when you had mad awesome drawing skills like I did? Anyone? I didn't think so.

And for the record, I really did have mad awesome art skills. The only one who rivaled me was the damn teme.

I was so into my daydream about ramen that I didn't even hear the bell announce the end of class, until someone, a rude someone mind you, called out to me.

"Dobe."

Yep, that was it. That one voice that always got me on the edge, for some reason.

"Don't call me that, teme!"

"Hn." He ignored that and walked away, towards the door, where Hinata just happened to be waiting. Whether it was for me for him, I couldn't be sure. But I would bet that it was him, that bastard.

"Hinata?" I called out, and she seemed somehow reluctant to look at me as she turned her back to him. God forbid we not devour the teen with our eyes every second of the day!

"Come on, Naruto!" That was Kiba, and I listened to him. We, the three of us, and the teme, had science next. Great. Another day for another hectic blow up due to a fight, as the two rivals of the school got paired up, yet again.

Any guesses who the two are?

Luckily, today in science, we were watching a video, and taking notes. No chance of detention then, at least.

The rest of the day flew by in a similar manner, with fourth period Japanese with Hayate-sensei, fifth period Math with Kakashi-sensei, sixth period English with Iruka-sensei, and seventh period Gym with Gai-sensei. By far, the most hectic was gym, since Gai-sensei just chose to continue on about "the magic of youth." Or something like that. Man, I was starting to sound like Shikamaru. But then again, if my brain was always on autopilot in school, I guess I had a right to let it wander for some amusement.

The hectic thing happened to be that we were playing dodge ball. And the teme and I just happened to be on opposite teams. Meaning by the time the game was over, the only two left standing were us. Considerably breathless and extremely pissed off, of course, but still standing.

"What?" I shouted. I always did that, so I barely even noticed it. I had more pressing issues at hand. Like I was just getting fired for no reason!

"I'm sorry, Naruto, but the manager just doesn't think that you are good for business. It's gone down ten percent since you started working here. So we have to let you go. I'm sorry." She repeated. Her name was Ayane (3), the daughter of the manager. She was really nice, and I felt sorry for her having to deal with me all the time. I knew I could be a brat, but hey, that's what people loved about me.

"But…but…that's not fair! I need this job, you know that! Please, Ayane-chan! What else am I supposed to do?" I had gotten to the point of whining and pouting. You know, that one pout that not even the devil could resist? With the puppy dog watery eyes, and the whole deal? Yeah, that one.

"N-Naruto…I'm sorry." She turned away, and I knew it was because she would get in trouble if she listened to me. Dejected, I turned away, stomping out of the place, pissed off at he manager. Wonderful! Just-fucking-terrific! I had just gotten fired at the only place that would even let me work, and now I somehow had to find some money to pay of my daily living cost. We all knew that wasn't going to happen.

Sticking my ear buds in my ears, I turned up the music from my iPod, not really sure where I was going, but letting my feet guide me to wherever. It didn't really matter where I was going, as long as I got somewhere.

And I ended up at the Hyuuga Palace. No really, that was what it was called. It was certainly one of the biggest houses in Konoha. It wasn't even a house, it was a mansion. Man, how I wished I had a house that huge.

I went up to the gates (Yes that had gate.) and smiled at the guard. He was a new one, from Suna, I was assuming, since all the previous ones had been from Suna. I just said Naruto to him, and he checked over the list of people that he had. At least, that's what I thought it was. I wasn't exactly sure, but it didn't really matter. After what seemed like a minute, he smiled up at me, and opened the gates, nodding in a friendly way towards the mansion.

Humming along with the song currently on, since I had put my iPod on shuffle, I skipped down the walk towards it. In front of the Hyuuga Palace was a large water fountain, stretching for about three hundred yards, with flowers surrounding it on all sides. The gravel walkway led up to it, before splitting into two, each heading off to one side of the rectangular fountain. On either side of the fountain, past the walkway, was one of those lawns that you only ever saw in movies with super rich people, looking like it was one of those 'sacred' things that should not be touched. It was all very modern looking.

That was until you got to the house, which was as far from modern as possible. It was a traditional Japanese house, with winding hallways, and only one actual floor.

At the door, I was met by the Hyuuga heir herself, Hinata, who smiled timidly at me.

"Ah, Naruto-kun, welcome. Come in." She let me in, showing all the manners as you'd expect from someone that rich and high class. Yeah, she was a great actress.

When we finally got to her room, she dropped at glanced at me with a ok-I-know-some-things-up-so-you'd-better-spill look. And spill I did. I poured my heart out to her, without giving her a chance to interrupt, not that she would have anyway. She listened without saying anything, still with a timid face on.

She paused, thinking for a while, after I had stopped talking.

"Well, maybe, I could get you a job here?"

Bah, I'd already heard it. "No, Hinata, that wouldn't be fair."

"And why not?"

"I didn't earn my way in."

"Isn't being my friend enough?"

"Nope. I'm still going to say no, no matter what."

"But, what if -"

"No, no, and no."

"Yes."

"No."

"Too bad, I'm doing it anyway."

"Well then, I guess I'm leaving."

"Fine."

"Fine."

We both glared at each other and then both eventually smiled. It was so typical of us to argue like that, it was now a routine. You would think that I would talk like that to Sakura, one of my best friends at school. Well, she just didn't understand me as well as Hinata did. Now, I know you're probably wondering what happened to the shy-as-hell girl who used to like me? Well, we settled that between us a long time ago, and were now closer than close. It was a shock to the both of us when we found out how well we knew each other without ever knowing each other. If that even made sense. Oh well.

"Well then, what're you going to do?"

"I don't know…" I sighed, helplessly. I seemed to be doing a lot of that lately.

"Naruto-kun?"

"Yeah, Hinata?" I looked up to see her standing above me, and before I could blink, her fist was in my face. The girl may look slight, but she could seriously pack a punch.

"Ouch! Hinata! That hurt!" I added the words 'like hell' in my head, but I knew I wasn't allowed to swear in the Hyuuga Palace.

"Good to know that I'm not loosing my touch. It was supposed to."

"What was that for?"

"To get you to shout."

"Huh?"

"You know, you've been sulking around way too much, lately? I knew that would work, to get you back to somewhat normal, at least before the party."

As soon as it clicked, I started grinning madly, reaching up my right hand to scratch the back of my head when I could find nothing to say. She smiled back at me.

"How about you stay here for a while? I'm sure that you're going to be kicked out as soon as the manager of the hotel finds out you can't pay for the rent."

"Sure, thanks, Hinata!"

She nodded, obviously approving.

Music blared off the speakers everywhere. It was Linkin Park, which was alright with me. They were an awesome band.(4)

It wasn't a dance party, like most of the other senior parties. This was just one of those parties where everyone acted like they were five years younger and played truth-truth-or-dare-dare.(5) Of course, there was alcohol as well, and lots of food, and a lot of making out and stripping during the dare-dares. But that was just how we liked to play. Yes, even Hinata.

Even though it was a senior party, there were three people there who were older than us, but just by a year. It was just Neji, Hinata's cousin, who had incredibly long brown hair, like a girl's, and his two best friends, one being a brown haired girl named Ten Ten who was completely obsessed with weapons. The other was strange guy with a bowl cut and the largest eye brows, next to Gai-sensei's of course, who also seemed to always go on and on about the "powers of youth." His name was Rock Lee.

Yeah, we were definitely a strange bunch. So? We still had fun.

Then, the teme came.

Oh yes, that changed everything.

Let me take this chance to mention that Kiba, Ten Ten, Ino, Chouji, and Sakura were all drunk. Very drunk. The rest of us had either refused to take alcohol (or been forced to refuse, in Lee's case), or had just not drunk as much, as was the case for Hinata, Shino, and me.

When Sasuke came, the most noticed difference in the party was that Hinata changed her personality from a loudmouth like me to being one of the quietest people there. Ino and Sakura, of course, immediately clung to him. I glared at him, and he glared back, politely going to sit on the side of Hinata that was not occupied by me. Oh yeah. If that didn't scream that there was definitely something between them, then few other things could. Like most people thought, I wasn't slow. Well, I was, but not when it came to Hinata. I knew everything anyone bothered to think about her, and she me. That's how close we were. We loved each other, no, not like that, just as friends.

However, I didn't think that Sasuke deserved Hinata. Honestly, she was too good for him. He was an asshole, and she was probably the most wonderful person I knew. They just didn't match up in my head.

Then it was my turn. To choose truth-truth-or-dare-dare, I mean. I felt like a challenge, so chose the latter. Big mistake on my part.

"Ok, Naruto, you have to either…hm…" Sakura thought for a moment, before grinning in a way that screamed 'Danger! Run for your life!' "Either," she continued; "You take off Sasuke-kun's shirt, suggestively, or make out with Lee."

I stared at her, contemplating whom to choose. Rival or Lee? I wouldn't do that with Sasuke, ever, even for my life. However, it was Lee. Lee. There was absolutely no way that I was going to make out with Lee. Ever. So my only other choice was Sasuke. Unless, of course, I wanted to face the consequences. Which I didn't. Trust me, they were too gruesome to describe. And the three girls always remembered who refused what dare. I shivered, and crawled over to the stiff Uchiha, who had been blankly staring at Hinata the whole time. It may have been blank, but it was definitely staring.

He didn't seem to know what was happening around him until I actually started creeping my hand up underneath his shirt. I was smacked very hard on the face at that exact moment.

"Hey!" I screamed, defiantly.

He gave me a look that said what-the-hell-do-you-think-you're-doing?

"That was my dare!"

"No need for me to go along with it."

"Well too bad, teme!"

"Shut up, dobe."

"Stop calling me that, teme!"

"Boys, shut up, or you both have to pay the consequences." That was Ino.

I held down a shiver as I heard those words, and I could tell that the teme did the same, even if he turned to glare at her. We would both be caught getting it on in the girls bathroom by a teacher (6) than face the consequences. Oh yes, they were that bad.

I turned back to the Uchiha, and he glared at me, as I approached him again, creeping my hand up underneath his shirt, but this time, the only resistance I faced was the tightening of his smooth muscles. I smirked at him, and traced my hand around his body, touching a lot of places that Hinata only dreamed she could touch. I did it all very slowly. You could see my hands making small bulges under his shirt as I ran them all over. Suddenly, I crawled behind the teme, wrapping my arms around his slim, but definitely strongly muscled, figure, and worked my way up, along with the shirt. I moved my mouth right next to his ear, and started breathing softly on his pale skin. He hadn't reacted to all of the touches that was sure to be affecting him, until then at least. As soon as he was about to shiver, I saved his pride and pulled the shirt off his head.

I moved back to my place next to Hinata. All the girls were gawking at him, occasionally turning to me, and then back at him. I guess the teme started to feel really uncomfortable under the looks of the girls sizing him up, so he grunted and put the shirt back on without a word, and a grunt.

The rest of the night passed in a very typical way. Everyone made out with everyone else, except for Neji, who had only had to make out with Ten Ten, his cousin, and me; and the Uchiha, who hadn't made out with anyone.

I did, however, notice him staring at me for a while before turning his attention back to Hinata right after I had made out with Neji. That was definitely strange.

When it finally got around to well past midnight, they left, filing out one by one. Kiba lingered a moment by Hinata before waving good-bye, and heading towards his car. I found myself hoping that he didn't crash into something dangerous on his way home, since he was drunk. I even considered giving him a ride home, but decided against it, since I wouldn't have been able to make it back to the Hyuuga Palace.

The Uchiha stayed back as well, nodding farewell to Neji, glaring at me, and nearly smiling at Hinata.

Wow, he liked her enough to try and smile? That was interesting, since he was believed to be devoid of all human emotions. I smirked at him, in a very superior way. He glared at me again, growling "dobe" before also disappearing into the night.

Once we heard his car drive away, we all headed back into the house, all of us too tired to bother talking as we made our way to each of our separate rooms, to turn in for the night.

Before I became unconscious for the next twelve hours, I found myself thinking about how glad I was that it was a Friday. That meant no school tomorrow, meaning I could sleep in.

The last thought I had was how smooth the teme's skin had felt against mine. I tried to shove that out of my head, marked as too disturbing a thought, but by then I was already asleep.

(1)Yeah, so I couldn't really think of anything better to call the places, but if you couldn't make it out, Konoha Junior is middle school, Konoha Academy is just a prestigious school, with all the standards except for college, there, and Konoha Campus is the college.

(2)Ok, so I know in most fics, teme is supposed to mean 'bastard.' Just so you all know, teme actually means 'you' in a very rude way, but whatever. For fic purposes, just assume that here, it means bastard as well.

(3)Wait, the name of the daughter of the manger of Ichiraku's is Ayane, right? I can't remember right now, so if I'm wrong, will someone please correct me?

(4)Sorry, to those of you who don't like Linkin Park, cause I know you're out there. I personally think they're awesome, so please don't judge this fic because of that.

(5)Two truths or two dares, and you have to do one of them, depending on which one you choose.

(6)Mind out of the gutter, people! There we go, all better?

Anyways, that is probably the longest fanfic I have ever written (yes sad, I know). I got an awesome idea from the song and I really want to write on it, so please give me five reviews, and I'll be motivated enough to post the next chapter! Thanks, and I hope you liked it! XD

And, I have a challenge! I want people to guess on three things before the next chapter, 1) What the song is, 2) Who it's by, or 3) How long you think I'll write on the first half for the first verse. For those of you who guess right, I'll give you...well, idk, cookies, and mention I guess. And a hug! R & R plz! XD
