Lyrics are from "The Queen and I" by Gym Class Heroes
Oh no,
She's at the bottom of that bottle
She's only one more swallow
From being, you know, so hollow
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Dark, tired eyes fluttered open with a start. At first confused, they soon became angry and annoyed.
Bravo, she's at the bottom of that bottle
She's only one more swallow
From being, you know, so hollow!
As he lay there listening to the song pulsing loudly through the walls, Sasuke Uchiha knew at once the root of this evil: Naruto Uzumaki.
I find it funny she can never find her car keys
Immediately after telling me she can't take it
She makes the cutest faces when she screams obscenities
And slurs her words because she's never not inebriated
With a bitter growl, the raven attempted to block out the noise by rolling over and covering his head with the thick blankets.
And the front page that I'd read
Let the girl go, you know you can do better
It's bad, when the fact that you can't have her
Is the reason you sweat her,
Don't let her take advantage of you
Like the other girls let her
You better cut your losses now buddy.
Why, oh why had he let Naruto move in? Sure, the blonde's presence had its ups, but this was NARUTO; he should have foreseen the consequences.
Cause baby girl's a queen
And a queen's a pawn with a bunch of fancy moves
And she's made me a fiend
I won't be withdrawed 'cause I got nothing to lose
Still, the young Uchiha couldn't ignore how Naruto made him feel. It made things feel alright, okay, perfectly fine.
Oh no,
She's at the bottom of that bottle
She's only one more swallow
From being, you know, so hollow
Wait...why was he just lying here allowing this to go on? Why wasn't he out there verbally kicking Naruto's ass for waking him up this early?
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Bravo, she's at the bottom of that bottle
She's only one more swallow
From being, you know, so hollow
Hell, the dobe had even beaten the sun itself. From what Sasuke could see through the window, everything was still a pale grey. His eyes narrowed in contempt. This was getting ridiculous. If the raven was ever to get some more sleep, he would have to make a move soon.
Drown yourself,
It's not worth keeping me
Just put it down right now,
And bow out gracefully
...but the bed was perfect and comfortable. With an even louder and more angry growl, Sasuke began kicking himself free of the covers. After a minute or two of thrashing about, the dark haired boy managed to tumble straight out of bed. He landed with a painful sounding thump on the floor, sucking in air through his teeth as he struck his tailbone.
"That damn Naruto..."
Oh no,
She's at the bottom of that bottle
She's only one more swallow
From being, oh, so hollow
Meanwhile, our clueless fox-boy Naruto was at complete ease and listening to his music. He didn't realize how blaringly loud it was and probably could care less as he sat next to the stereo. The night had been rough for him because he wasn't used to sleeping in a new environment quite yet, and he felt like a mess without his usual amount of rest. The blonde was completely oblivious to the impeding doom that was now rounding the corner.
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Bravo, she's at the bottom of that bottle
She's only one more swallow
Blue eyes caught a figure standing there, and when they flickered over to investigate, enlarged to the size of two full moons.
From being, oh, so hollow
(Hey! He-
Naruto pressed the STOP button, abrubtly cutting off the song. He blinked with pure fear as he tried to register just what it was that was standing before him.
Sasuke glared back at him, his eyes vivid with rage. One hand was pressed to his tailbone while the other formed a fist so tight it whitened the knuckles. His black tank top and shorts were horribly disheveled, and his hair stuck out at odd angles. If Naruto had thought himself a mess before, he felt small in comparison to this utter catastrophe.
Oh yeah, he was in for it.
"Naruto," Sasuke said in a quiet, dangerous tone. The blond felt himself swallow a bundle of nerves.
"Y-yes?"
"Do you want to live in a cardboard box?"
The question seemed odd at first, but fox-boy figured it out soon enough. Uneasy and frightened, Naruto struggled to find a quick enough answer. Something told him the raven wasn't exactly patient at the moment.
"S-Sasuke, I'm sorry...s-see, I'm not used to your apartment yet so I needed some music to calm me down-"
He shut his mouth immediately when he saw the Uchiha's fists tighten even further. The air crackled with intensity, almost as if Sasuke was just barely holding himself back from crossing the room and strangling the blond on the spot.
"Calm down with me?" Naruto offered in a whimper, heart hammering wildly in his chest. He still wasn't quite sure why Sasuke was so angry with him, but then again his mind was still foggy from lack of sleep.
Since Sasuke couldn't make any sense of what was going on around him either, his anger gradually subsided until it became nothing more than a dull annoyance. He answered Naruto's question by stepping foreward, his face still cranky. At the blond's gesture he lie down close by, staring blankly up at the ceiling before rolling over onto his side. For a moment there was silence before Naruto pushed the play button again on the stereo.
Soft music wove through the air, peaceful music and turned down to just the right volume. It curled itself gently around the two boys resting back to back, one with a happy smile on his lips and the other with an expression devoid of emotion, masking the feelings inside.
Naruto found himself thinking of the way Sasuke's dark hair fell into his face when he was angry, or how he always managed to look painfully good even when having just been rudely awakened from a deep sleep. He was truly amazing, but there was no way he'd admit that to his roommate. Not yet, anyway...
Sasuke, on the other hand, found himself lost in thoughts about how Naruto made him feel. There was no denying that spark of happiness that he felt whenever the boy smiled at him. It almost made the raven smile back, almost. Ontop of that, he rather liked how the fox-boy looked in the sunlight, but those thoughts were strictly his alone.
The music played on, lulling them to sleep and carrying them to a place far away from the apartment. Even though they didn't realize it at the time, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha would soon grow so close, inseperable. They would feel a love that burned so fierce and intense that it rivaled even the sun. They would develop a bond so deep that it couldn't be broken even if the stars began to rain down from the sky. They would hurt one another and learn to love even more afterward.
While their story was just at its beginning, it all started from the very moment the two met as small children. Since then destiny had aligned itself, setting a path for them to walk as one. Fates had been intertwined, souls weaved together.
Sometimes love, as it turns out, is just plain inevitable.
