Hey! This is the same 11am as before, except here's the skinny:

The mods deleted it, so I had to fumble to recoup my story! What this means for you, my precious reader, is that

a) I re-wrote the first chapter!

b) I'll be editing the other chapters I managed to save!

All for you guys! So as always, read and review! If you know anyone who was reading this before it was deleted, please share the news that it's back!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Naruto. Some characters may be OOC, depending on your point of view.

Heavy, one-sided drunken fumbling.

Sasuke was perfectly sober while the man on top of him had breath that reeked of alcohol and weed. The latter was a smell that usually floated around the man, and Sasuke loved it. Sasuke loved him.

"Naruto," Sasuke half whispered, half whimpered as the blond planted a sloppy kiss on his neck.

Stale weed.

Cheap cologne.

Failure.

With those powers combined, you got Naruto.

"Sssssh." Naruto hushed the boy with a kiss on his lips. Sasuke bucked his hips in need and threw his arms around the larger boy, sticking his face in the crook of the drunk's neck. They were completely naked, under covers.

Sasuke had wanted this more than anything in the world. Naruto was his world… But he knew that Naruto didn't care.

Naruto kissed Sasuke's forehead… And then he thrust.

Sasuke awoke alone. The sun was shining, filtered through slim cracks in the blinds. He was confused for the briefest second, and then the memories flooded back to him. He sat up quickly with a gasp. At the foot of the bed his clothes were folded neatly, where last night they were carelessly tossed to every corner. He furrowed his brow.

"N… Naruto?" He dared to call out. Please, let him still be there. Let him have not left. Let this not be a one night stand. His hopes were raised as the doorknob jiggled and the door opened, but were dashed against the rocks as Neji poked his head through the entrance.

"Hey there, Sleepin' Booty," chided he as he walked into the bedroom. He shielded his eyes, "Ugh, put your chest away, your stark whiteness is blinding!" Sasuke dropped his head in mild embarrassment as he pulled the sheets up, like a woman.

"I should have known you'd be here."

"Well… Yeah. I kind of live here." Neji smirked. "You should probably get dressed, instead of laying around in your own… love… Fluids…" Neji made a sort of duck face with his teeth showing while Sasuke turned an even more embarrassed shade of red and took on a disgusted look.

"Ugh! Get out!"

Neji laughed and shut the door behind him. Sasuke slid out of the bed that he defiled the night before and put on his clothes. Of the many thoughts that swam through his brain, the most recurrent was the question of if this was a one night stand. Unfortunately, he grimaced, all the signs pointed to yes. Naruto was higher than the Empire State. He was gone in the morning, leaving no signs that he had been there. If it wasn't for Neji's apparent knowledge about the two's illicit love affair, and the uncomfortable soreness in his buttocks, Sasuke would have thought it was all a very realistic dream.

He walked out of the bedroom fully dressed, and to his surprised Neji was in the kitchen, making themselves breakfast. Technically, anyway, since all he seemed to be doing was fishing ramen packets out of the pantry and boiling water. Neji gestured towards the table, inviting him to sit down. There was a few beats of silence between the two, then Neji decided to break it.

"So, how's the sex?" Neji had his back to Sasuke; neither one could see the expression on the other's face. Neji's was that of complete mirth. Sasuke's was pure horror. If he had any doubts about the validity of his virginity being taken, they were gone now.

"Shut the fuck up!"

Neji had no intention to. "You and Naruto, eh. Took you guys long enough, the way you two talk about each other. It's ridiculous. Although the way Naruto hauled ass out of here, I've never seen him move that fast in my life." He stopped to break up the ramen and dump it into the now boiling water.

"Naruto talks about me?" Sasuke was amazed. He was sure that if Naruto had anything to say about him, it was something terrible and bad.

"Oh, yeah. Usually when he's hammered with people grinding on his dick. He never stops talking about the 'profound sense of beauty' you supposedly have, or the 'amount of mystery and sweet sorrow' in your eyes. He's a real fuckin' sap, it's disgusting. I mean, you never shut up about the guy but even you don't have the soul of a romantic."

Sasuke flushed a deep crimson. He opened his mouth to reply, but Neji continued.

"Of course, like I said, the only time he ever ventures into that territory is when he's drunk."

Sasuke closed his mouth. It isn't surprising that a man would spout those sorts of things when he's inebriated. It looks like the only way he'd be able to get Naruto to willingly love him back is to get him drunk. But the fact that Naruto would still say those things just made Sasuke want him even more at that moment. The feelings of potentially being used were ebbing away and were being replaced by the hope that maybe, he could be wanted.

Neji served the ramen in a bowl, setting Sasuke's down first in front of him, and then sitting down across from him with his own bowl.

Sasuke propped himself up on the table with his elbow, stirring the ramen around with his fork. Looking very bored but with a hint of sadness, he said, "You know, there never will be a 'Naruto and me'. " Sasuke would do anything for that not to be true, but one's hopes can only go so high. "And if we did manage to get together, by some stroke of blind and dumb luck, it wouldn't last. I don't know how it could."

Neji merely shrugged. "Yeah. That could happen…" He slurped up a noddle noisily, Sasuke sneered in disgust. "Or you could get everything you've wanted since you were fourteen."

Neji had a special talent that enabled him to floor any conversation and to do it oh so nonchalantly. As Neji sat eating his noodles, he had influenced Sasuke to start considering his future and contemplating the tricky notion of love.

"Do you think he'd want anything to do with me after this?" Sasuke finally asked after their bowls were near empty.

"You know there's only way to find out." Neji picked up his bowl and tipped it back into his mouth, finishing the contents. He swept up the bowls and dumped them into the sink.

"Now get the fuck out of my house." Neji flapped his arm out towards the door, gesturing for Sasuke to go away.

Sasuke rolled his eyes. "You know as well as I do that I came here with a group."

"Walk, motherfucker!"

"I live miles away; it'd take at least 3 hours to get there!"

"Bitch, I do not have time for this!"

"Don't call me a bitch!"

"Ugh, then who do we know that has a car and can get the fuck over here?"

"Fuck, I don't know. Umm… Lee?"

"He's camping with that weird guy and the rest of the scouts."

"Kiba?"

"It'd take him even longer to get here than if you were to walk, and he'd have fifteen fucking dogs in his car. I swear it's like a fucking circus."

"Well, then… I don't know."

"Well, then," Neji mocked Sasuke. "That only leaves one prestigious, intelligent, one well versed in the arts young man."

Sasuke had to think about it for a second before he widened his eyes and groaned. "Oh, no. Please don't."

"The last person who said that to me was pregnant five seconds later." With that, Neji whipped out his cellphone and dialled the number two person on his speed dial.

It rang for a while; Neji enjoyed the song that the person chose as their caller tone: Chemicals by Scars on Broadway.

It was 11am when Naruto rolled over in his bed sleepily, grasping at his night stand for his ringing cellphone. With bleary eyes, he saw that it was Neji calling. He rolled eyes and pushed himself up, tapping the 'answer' button.

"The fuck do you want, I already talked to you today," Naruto mumbled, coming to a full sitting up position.

"I want you, my humble chauffer. Get the fuck over to my house."

Naruto heaved a great sigh. "Where am I taking you that you can't walk to, lazy bitch?"

"Oh, you misunderstand. This ride isn't for me; this ride is for someone you've already ridden."

Back at Neji's house, Sasuke's ears burned with a blush.

"That would be… a lot of people," Naruto replied, although he had a good idea of who he meant.

"Why, it's our dearest Sasuke! Here, I'll have you ask him yourself!"

Neji passed the phone on to Sasuke, who got it just in time to hear a very annoyed blonde curse harshly with blatant annoyance in his voice.

"Oh, god fucking dammit. Not him, man."

Sasuke chose to ignore his hurt feelings and the welling in his throat and eyes and coughed a delicate reply, "Hello, Naruto." Neji raised an eyebrow, as he could see Sasuke's discomfort.

"….."

"Hello?"

"Hey."

"I… I just need a ride home. If you don't want to, it's okay; I'll just… scrounge up some change or whatever and find a bus."

Naruto heard Neji in the background, "Hey, that's a good idea! Why didn't you say that earlier?"

Sasuke replied to Neji, "Some dumb slut took my wallet last night. You know how my bloody fangirls are."

Naruto sighed again. "Look, it's fine. Sit tight and I'll fuckin' get ready and go."

Sasuke smiled slightly, pleased. "Thank you."

"Don't. By the way, in exchange for this, you need to help me walla walla."

Sasuke started to ask what exactly that was but Naruto already hung up.

Sasuke turned to Neji. "Hey, Naruto said I have to do something for him."

"Oooooh," Neji grinned wolfishly. "That sounds exciting."

"Erm… Only if you know what walla walla'ing is."

"Oh! That's just going to the mall and milking people out of their hard earned cash for gas or cigarettes. Through any means possible."

"Uh…"

"So you may end up behind a dumpster sucking off a couple of guys. But you know, who isn't into bukkake?"

"Oh my God! No!"

"Please, Sasuke, don't be such a baby. There comes a time in every man's life when he must take the ultimate sacrifice and nibble on a couple or twenty of dude's cocks."

"Shut the fuck up, Hyuuga! Not everyone is such a cum-hungry slut like you!"

Neji sighed dramatically, placing his hand over his heart and fluttering his eyes. "My pride is severely wounded from that little remark, Uchi-blah."

Sasuke crossed his arms over his chest and rolled his eyes.

Neji dropped to a more serious mode. "You need to help me clean this house, Sasuke. The others," he sneered with distaste, "will be back later on today and I need to get started. Vacuuming and all that shit, you know."

Sasuke nodded. "Yeah, okay."

They started with the outside of the house first, making small talk while they lugged trash bags around, picking up the refuse that was left behind by all of the party-goers last night.

Soon, they felt rumbles in their feet and then heard heavy bass being dropped.

"Took him long enough." Neji shook his head and continued picking up trash.

Naruto rolled up in his car, Aqueous Transmission bumping from the car's subwoofer.

Sasuke hesitantly walked up to the car and opened the passenger door. Naruto looked up at him almost kindly, inviting him to sit down. Sasuke did so, and then Naruto leaned over and started to screech at Neji.

"Oi, jotobanger! Get over here!"

Neji laughed and walked up. Naruto thrust his hand underneath Sasuke's seat and pulled out a shoebox. He thrust it at Neji. "Look!"

Neji opened it up, and then laughed appreciatively. "Doobies!"

"Rolled 'em myself!" The box was passed back to the owner and was quickly stuffed away from whence it came.

"Nice."

Sasuke shifted himself uncomfortably. He'd never felt so out of place. He never had done drugs and wasn't feeling particularly antsy to start. It had just started to occur to him that most of his friends did these things recreationally and regularly. Sasuke didn't know quite what the appeal was, but then again, he had never really felt the need to escape reality.

"-Suke!"

Sasuke snapped out of his thoughts. "Huh? What?"

"I said, 'Say what if you love cock'." Neji grinned. Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"And also, let's go," Naruto added, a tiny smile on his face from the immaturity of Neji's joke.

Sasuke gave Neji a short wave and Naruto floored it. They sped out of the neighbourhood, heading towards the mall.
