New day, new story. This is my first crossover but once an idea get stuck in my mind, it just doesn't go away. It also helps that there is so much juice that I can get out of this one. It's a NaruSasuNaru, people who have problem from that can press the back button, no hard feelings. I tend to make grammatical mistakes so be prepared for that though i will try my best.
Disclaimer: Neither I own Naruto, nor Percy Jackson series. Not Heroes of Olympics either.
Please enjoy!
Sasuke regretted the decision of denying that he needed help in carrying his bags to his allotted room. His brother had insisted on coming with him to his college and check out all the arrangements but Sasuke had refused. He was old enough to manage everything himself. Besides Itachi had to take care of business, taking time out of that was a bit difficult, even for him, especially when all the responsibility were new to him.
After the death of his parents a year ago, it had been difficult for Uchiha brothers. Their parents were good and kind people, but most of all they were loving parents. Her mother had actually thrown a mini party in their kitchen when he had come out as gay to his parents. That night had been so emotional for him. Sasuke swallowed his sadness as he caught himself remembering his parents and focused on his surroundings.
Asking Itachi to help out was definitely out of the question, he just needed to ask someone else to help him. Unfortunately, it looked like it was a moving day and everyone was busy carrying their own stuff or helping others. He sighed as he looked at his three heavy bags, wondering if he would have to do two trips. He had already procured his keys from reception counter. That had taken him half an hour in itself considering the line that was there. The receptionist had wasted his time by apologizing again and again to the Uchiha heir, stuttering out most of the time, he had just assured her once and went his way after that. Coming from a rich family was definitely annoying sometimes. Though he was wondering why no one was helping him right now.
Someone knocked into him as he stood infront of the stairs. He should definitely stand in the side if he was going to waste his time. The person who had knocked into him just went his way without apologizing. Sasuke just rolled his eyes at that. At last making his mind, he started gathering his bags when a tap on his shoulder drew his attention.
He turned and found himself facing a blond guy. He was about his age with blue eyes. He was also Sasuke's height. He had three lines on each of his cheek and wide smile on his mouth. All in all, it was a pretty good face to turn the day in a good morning.
"Hey, do you need help?" The stranger asked.
Sasuke assessed him, he was a student of course, that was obvious by his age and looks. There were two people behind him, carrying the guy's luggage, Sasuke guessed. There was something obviously very wrong with those guys. They had pale skin, paler than Sasuke, it looked almost blue. Their hair looked so messed up as if they had been in bed for ages and had now just woken up, their eyes drooped, it looked like they had eyes in dark circles rather than the opposite. It also sounded like they were making a sound between whining and moaning. Sasuke got a weird feeling after looking at those guys.
Just then, another man came from behind them, dressed in an impeccable suit. He had shoulder length hair, jet black and combed with precision. His body gave the feeling as if there was a lot of power behind those lean muscles.
"Naruto, why haven't you gone to your room yet?" He asked the blonde guy.
Naruto scratched the back of his neck in a sheepish gesture.
"I was just asking this guy if he needed help." Naruto said, gesturing toward Sasuke.
The man looked toward Sasuke and he suddenly felt like he wanted to flee away from those eyes. Those eyes were as black as his hairs and they looked haunted.
"Your grandmother was Sayuri Uchiha, right?" He asked Sasuke.
Sasuke was taken aback for a minute. Normally if someone recognized him, it would be because of his company or his parents, not because of his grandmother.
Sasuke saw as Naruto's eyes widened and he elbowed the man. There was a disapproving look on his face as he looked toward the older guy.
"Yes" Sasuke replied before it could get any weirder.
The guy looked chastised.
"My father knew him so I had glimpsed her sometimes before her death." He explained.
"That is good to know." Sasuke replied politely.
"So, do you want help?" Naruto said before it could get awkward.
"I'll be grateful." Sasuke said and inclined his head in gratitude.
"What's your room number?" Naruto asked.
"It's 406"
"Really?!" Naruto suddenly yelled.
Sasuke stepped back a bit at the sudden sound.
"Naruto, don't yell at such a public setting." The man scolded him.
"Ah, sorry. I'm your roommate, Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto extended his hand.
"Sasuke Uchiha" He shook Naruto's hand.
"Let's go boys, you have to unpack too."
Sasuke felt weird as the man took the lead. There were hardly any people in his life who could take a lead from him, Itachi being one of them. This man had something in his being that made it a bit difficult for Sasuke to defy him.
"So Sasuke… you're an Uchiha, must be a difficult way of life." The man said, glancing back at him.
"No, my parents made sure to give me a good life and even now my brother has taken responsibility of the empire. I can study in peace though I would be helping him when I can, in the running of business."
"Ah, yes, I sa… heard about your parents death in news. My apologies for bringing out such a subject on our first meeting."
"Can I get an apology too?" Naruto asked suddenly.
"For what?" The man said.
"When we first met, you tried to throw me in a river filled with so… sewage." His voice was as petulant as his expression.
The man looked at Naruto then met Sasuke's eyes.
"Sasuke, you just met him, objectively saying, wouldn't you want to do the same to him?"
Sasuke's lips curved in a small smirk as he looked at Naruto.
"I think a garbage spot would work too." He said dryly.
The man chuckled and Naruto stomped ahead after glaring daggers at them.
Sasuke couldn't stop a smile appearing on his face.
Sasuke and the man continued to make their way in an unhurried pace.
"I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Naruto's uncle, Orcus."
"Nice to meet you." Sasuke replied even as he puzzled over the name. It sounded ancient.
When they got to the room, Naruto was already in and had apparently selected a bed for himself. Sasuke scowled at that, not that he was very picky but it was always nice to have a choice.
The room was big enough for two of them. A window was in the middle of the wall opposite to the bed. Their study tables were on either side of the window, though there was some distance between the window and them. There wasn't much furniture in the room, of course, but he knew soon the room would be filled with big and small things. Though he liked keeping things in order, yet he had a feeling that Naruto would have a hard time cleaning his mess.
He walked to the closet and found the space sufficient for his things. There was a bathroom attached to the room. Sasuke had conceded that he could afford that much comfort at least. Privacy in bathroom was important and he didn't want to share a bathroom with too many people. Naruto would be enough.
He opened his bag which had things that were for immediate use and started pulling them out. Though he was unpacking yet his thoughts were on Orcus and Naruto. They were having a whispered conversation between them, which he ignored but he couldn't stop thinking about them.
For Sasuke, the two men infront of him made a strange picture. One was so dark, the power that came from him, his physique and the hard line on his face. On the other hand Naruto looked so happy; his blonde hair gave him a feeling like he was glowing. Sasuke didn't know about Naruto's physique considering he was wearing baggy clothes but with the way he had easily carried his luggage, there was definitely some power in his arms.
Sasuke stopped himself there, wondering why his thoughts had gone there. He took his toiletries and went to the bathroom. He looked at the shelves that were provided to them to put there things and the mirror beside. There was a shower at a neat distance away from sink and mirror. While he was placing everything in their right place, his mobile started buzzing.
"Itachi" Sasuke answered.
"Sasuke, hello to you too." Itachi said in his dry tone.
"What do you want?"
"Just wanted to know how my little brother is faring in the big cruel, evil world, alone."
Sasuke rolled his eyes at that.
"After living with you in the house, big cruel evil world looks like a theme park." Sasuke replied.
"Ah, my apologies, you must be suffering considering you've never liked those."
Sasuke scowled at his own reflection in the mirror.
"I have to unpack, Itachi." Sasuke said in a restrained voice.
"Ah, so you got to your room safe and sound. I just wanted to know that little brother. I'll call you later in the evening to know more about your roommate and whether there would ensue a cliché love story here by the end of the term." And he cut the call.
Sasuke grimaced at the mention of clichéd love stories, Naruto was fine to look at but Itachi was definitely watching a lot of sappy movies if he believed that it would happen in real life. Shaking his head, he decided to forget about that conversation.
He was just about to get out of the bathroom when he heard a bit of conversation from the other room.
"You have your whistle?" Orcus asked.
"No, I forgot it in the camp." There was a sarcastic tone to his reply.
There was a short silence and then he heard a squeak from Naruto.
"Yes, I have it, dammit. Stop looking at me with those soul sucking eyes."
"It has been a long time since I could tolerate one of your kinds so I'm making sure that you stay around. Otherwise I'll again have to deal with those brats."
"You liked Percy though." Naruto said in a teasing tone.
"No, my son likes him so I have to be civil to him." There was definitely something in his tone that told Sasuke that if Orcus had the choice, he would have been very uncivil with this Percy guy.
Considering he has eavesdropped too much already, he stepped out of the bathroom. Their voice quieted down immediately and after a glance toward him, they went back to whispering. Sasuke went back to his bag to unpack more things but their conversation started spinning in his mind. What did Orcus mean by 'One of your kinds'. Maybe Naruto lead a thug life before and Orcus was just referring to that. But he had a feeling that there was more to this conversation then he could explain to himself. In the end it did not matter, he put it aside and concentrated on finishing his work. He was thinking of walking around campus today, mapping it out so he won't have any trouble later.
Soon, Orcus bid his goodbyes to both Naruto and him and he was left with the blonde alone in the room.
Naruto immediately jumped on his bed and brought out a mouthorgan from his jacket.
"Aren't you going to unpack?" He asked before Naruto could start to play it.
"I just had a long ride here, I'm gonna waste my whole day resting and worry and cry about it tomorrow."
Sasuke couldn't help but blink at that.
"Well, at least you don't have any fantasy of it being an easy life." Sasuke mumbled.
"I know, right." Naruto said and winked at him.
Naruto's face seemed to glow, with the mirth there. His scars seemed like fox's whiskers and for a minute he did look like a fox with mischievousness glinting in his eyes.
"Hn" He said and resumed his unpacking.
Just when he was putting his clothes in their place, first tune of Naruto's mouthorgan hit him. He stilled.
Sasuke never had acquired any knowledge on music but even he could see how richly Naruto played the instrument. Every turn and tune rose and fell gracefully. He had no words about what he was feeling as he listened to the melody coming from the instrument. He felt alive, his feelings roared in his ears yet he felt calm listening to the soft tone. It sounded ancient yet something new, that touched the heart.
Sasuke was so lost in the tune that when suddenly it stopped, he almost broke his neck as he turned to look at Naruto.
"Are you alright?" Naruto asked, a worried frown on his face.
He blinked.
"You play it good." Sasuke said, feeling like he has just delivered the biggest understatement of the year.
Suddenly Naruto coloured at that.
"Thanks" He said, while rubbing his neck, "From where I learned it, they didn't think of it as a really great music instrument but I like it, it was my mother's."
"Ah" Sasuke said. Naruto looked at Sasuke with a small smile.
"Shall I continue?" He asked, cocking his head at one side.
Sasuke cleared his throat without needing to.
"Well, considering it's your room too, you can do whatever you want." He looked somewhere else when he saw amusement shining in his eyes.
"Sure" Naruto said and he could hear a smile in his voice.
Sasuke hid a smile. Their room filled with Naruto's music again and for that moment Sasuke thought that maybe this won't be so bad.
