Author's Note
Hello everyone! This is my first story. I got the idea from a film starring Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher called "What Happens In Vegas" It's the usual predictable, cliche, chick flick. I don't have a beta, so please forgive any grammar or spelling mistakes. I posted it on AFF, but for those who don't go on there, I shall post it here!
I'm a big girl and I can take criticism, but please don't be too harsh...I'll get on with the story, ne?
What Happens In Vegas
Chapter One
A raven haired man stepped out of his carefully parked, black Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren and made his way to the front door of the Uchiha family home. Normally when he arrived home, his mother would greet him and tell him that dinner would be ready soon or his "girlfriend" Sakura, would latch onto him and beg him to take her out. Even the 80 hours a week at his boring office job wasn't enough time away from her. Of course he didn't actually need to work, the Uchiha's were more than comfortable with their finances and he was certain he would replace his father when he retired. No, a job for Sasuke was a hobby, a chance to get away from home.
Sasuke Uchiha believed that no one was perfect, but he was damn close. He was organised, reliable, good-looking, intelligent and tried his hardest to please his father. So when he stepped through the door and was confronted by his not-so-happy looking parents he was slightly confused. He hadn't done anything wrong? Or had he? He sighed, whatever it was he was going to know about it soon as he father opened his mouth and his lecture began.
"I don't know what is going on in your head, but it really is not acceptable Sasuke." Came the harsh tone of his father.
"Poor Sakura, you should have seen her, completely destroyed." His mother shook her head, she didn't sound angry, just disappointed, which was even worse. What the hell had he done?
"Look can you just tell me what I've done?" Sasuke said impatiently
"You know very well! Sakura found this in your room" shouted Fugaku as he picked up a magazine from the coffee table and held it up for Sasuke to see.
'Shit.'
His dark eyes roamed over the very naked, very male bodies on the glossy front cover. Fugaku was holding up the latest issue of "Bent magazine"
"I can explain--" Sasuke blurted out, even though he had b no /b idea how he was going to explain this. Should he lie? Say it was Itachi's? Or that he bought it for Sakura? Ugh, no. He might as well tell the truth, maybe then he could break up with Sakura? It's not like he actually wanted to date her anyway. The only reason there was any sort of relationship between them was because of their fathers, Mr Haruno was a very influential man, and very useful to Fugaku. Anyone could see that it wasn't going to last, but his father was doing his best. He had recently bought them two tickets to Las Vegas, so they could have some "fun" together, though a weekend alone with Sakura was far from Sasuke's idea of fun.
"We are waiting Sasuke." The elder Uchiha said gruffly.
"I'm gay." There, he said it. He had bought that magazine because he was curious, women didn't interest him and on the one occasional he had attempted to have sex with one, it ended disastrously. He got much more enjoyment with his right hand and some lube, without all the hassle. Whether he was gay or not, he didn't know, few men really excited him, he gathered he was probably asexual.
Mikoto rushed to Sasuke's side and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Sasuke, darling, I know growing up can be very confusing but-"
"Mother, I'm 22 years old." Sasuke stated angrily.
She sighed. "But how do you know for sure? I mean, you haven't been with Sakura that long, and you know how much she loves you. But if you don't like girls, then you don't like girls. Oh, I was expecting such lovely grandchildren from you…" Mikoto's rambled away sadly.
"Mikoto, I don't care if he doesn't like girls. It's a scandal. What will Mr Haruno say when he finds out about this?"
"I don't care what he thinks. I never wanted to go out with Sakura anyway." Sasuke was completely fed up with this.
"Don't be like this sweetie" His mother held him gently "Everyone experiences feelings for the same sex at some point. You're bound to get curious and want to experiment different things." He looked at the small woman in shock, was she trying to give him "the talk"? She carried on "I know how you feel, I went through this phase too, I fooled around with a couple of friends--"
Sasuke grimaced at the sudden mental image of his mother and her lesbian experiences. "Please. Stop."
"It's not too late Sasuke, we can explain to Sakura that this was just one big misunderstanding and we can continue with the wedding plans--" Fugaku said, the suggestion sounding more like an order.
"What wedding plans!? Look I'm not going to date that woman anymore let alone marry her. So just accept it." Sasuke broke free of his mother's embrace and was just about to retreat to his bedroom when his father stopped him.
"Then you can find somewhere else to live."
A small gasp came from Mikoto, but she didn't say anything, not wanting to go against her husband's word.
Well, if that's what they wanted. "Fine"
Naruto Uzumaki stretched lazily on his futon and yawned, was it time to get up already? He grabbed his phone on the floor and pressed a button which lit up the screen, revealing the time.
"Shit, not again!" the blond hastily jumped out of bed. He continued cursing as he threw some clothes on and left his small apartment.
The sound of the door closing brought Naruto out of his peaceful nap on the counter. Blue eyes slowly blinked open to find his boss glaring in front of him, arms crossed over his chest.
'Damn, he's pissed.' Naruto gulped.
"You were late today."
"Yeah, I overslept, I'm so--"
"Didn't get enough sleep? That must be why you're taking a nap now, when you should be working."
"Oh come on, give me a break, there is no one here!" The blond tried to defend himself
"You're fired."
"What!? Don't do this to me!" Naruto screeched.
His boss' blue eyes softened, "I'm sorry Naruto, but it's the last straw. I don't want to do this, you're like a son to me, but--"
"Dad, I am your son." Naruto stared at him incredulously.
The older blond chuckled, "Yeah I know, but that doesn't change anything. You need to step up and become a man. Come back to me when you're ready to work and I might still have a job for you." Minato gave his son a firm pat on the shoulder before dragging him out of the shop
Sasuke ordered a drink from the dark-haired barman, Sai, who was also his closest friend. Sasuke often came to this bar and the two brunets got on quite well, though Sai sometimes irritated the Uchiha, he was one of the only people Sasuke could half trust.
"I'm unemployed." The blond stated glumly.
"It will be fun! You can spend the rest of your life doing whatever the hell you want!" Kiba slapped him playfully on the back in an effort to cheer up his best friend.
"What am I going to do with no money?"
"Yeah there's that…" Kiba suddenly realised the flaw in his plan. He was really dense for a lawyer, Naruto often wondered how the hell Kiba made it through law school.
"There are lots of things I can do for money, I'm good at stuff! Hey, I bet you £1 I can finish this beer before you" Naruto grinned, grabbing his drink, he really sucked at being depressed.
"You're on."
Sasuke quickly downed his shot.
"And my father still won't recognise me, even when Itachi is locked away in a padded cell far, far away. I do everything, everything to please him." Sasuke slammed his empty shot glass back on the table.
"Here's my suggestion" Sai began wisely "Once a week we get some of my brother's loser friends and we go to your house, ring the door bell and hope your dad opens. When he does, 'BAM!' just punch him right up in his man business and he's going to keel over, crying 'Why?' Then they'll go. 'You know why.' "Sai's plan was accompanied by various hand movements and facial expressions, which Sasuke would of found amusing if he had been sober, but as he was drunk he listened intently.
"Wow. Did you just come up with that?"
"Yep. I'm very imaginative. But, wait! I have another idea! I know exactly what you need."
"Where's the one place you can step up and be a man?" By now Naruto probably had one beer too many.
"Where's the one place you can act like a total idiot?" Sai asked as he poured Sasuke another drink. "Vegas."
"Vegas?" Kiba inquired. "Are you sure?"
"Hell yeah, Las Vegas, baby!" the loud blond shouted, drinking his last beer.
"Yeah! It's care-free, spontaneous, fun!" Sasuke finished his last shot. "We're going to Vegas!"
TBC...(It gets better...I think...)
