This is a story I started writing a while ago and I wanted to repost it because I've been editing it and I changed the direction in which I want it to go. So bear with me here because this is now the second story that I have on the go.

Sasuke had been walking for a while. He found himself walking past a group which looked to be crowded around someone. He would've continued walking if he hadn't heard that voice. That voice that captivated him so completely that it was all he could to do walk closer to take in more of that smooth silky voice. He had to know who the boy singing was. He needed to know.
There was a gap in the crowd and Sasuke inched his way closer to see him. He almost regretted it. Almost. Sasuke tried to ignore the looks he was given and concentrated on finding out who was singing. Instead of asking, Sasuke decided to just stand and listen to the hauntingly beautiful voice.
Sasuke's eyes flew open when the singing stopped. He almost said something, but was stopped when he took in his profile; bright, almost blindingly bright, yellow hair, and three slashes across either of his cheeks. They looked to be scars or possibly birthmarks. His eyes were closed, Sasuke longed to see his eyes. In a matter of moments it was as if Sasuke whole life now depended on learning everything he could about the blonde haired mystery.

Naruto could feel everyone watching him, he opened his eyes to meet dark, obsidian orbs. Naruto lost his thoughts in those eyes for only a few moments. He didn't notice that the group around him had quieted and were now staring at the two silently taking each other in.
"Hey," Naruto said.
Naruto's eyes silenced Sasuke; they were blue like a clear sky. They were deep, with emotional scars he knew had not healed. Sasuke could see the pain in the boy's eyes, masked by an almost fake happiness. Sasuke suddenly broke free of Naruto's hold on him. He looked around to saw that everyone's eyes were on them. Sasuke flushed and turned quickly, walking away. Something about him was off.
Sasuke had only gone a few feet when he heard someone talk.
"What did you do to him Naruto?"
"I don't know," the blonde said shrugging.
'Naruto.' Sasuke thought. It had a nice ring to it.
Sasuke had never seen anyone who had looked like that before in his life. He was one of a kind with those deep blue eyes and sunny yellow hair.
.

Damn Neji, he always needed a ride home after work. Naruto thought as he drove to the bar that Neji was working at. Naruto arrived at the bar and saw drunk men stumbling around all of them coming from the direction of the bar.
Naruto parked his car and walked to the door of the bar. The doorman let him in seeing as he knew Naruto from the countless times Neji had pulled him into picking him up.
Naruto walked in and saw that the men were rowdier and louder then when he was normally in there. Naruto sang here when he had a free night for extra cash. The men loved his singing. They always tipped him big even though he always wore a considerably large amount of clothes for performing in a gay bar.
Neji saw Naruto and was relived. He hated working while Sasuke was dancing. The men were always so loud and horny; he hated it. Sometimes he regretted working in a gay bar. All of the straight bars were full though. The pay here was good and he didn't complain for that reason; though it didn't stop him from being rude to some of the men who hit on him.
Naruto was looking around to see what was making the men so rowdy. A raven-haired dancer. The same guy from before! He watched as the boy closed his eyes and danced provocatively to the pounding beat that was coming out of the bars' stereo.
"Ready to go home yet?" Neji asked coming up behind Naruto, who was watching the dancer intently.
Naruto grunted and Neji grabbed the boy's arm and started to pull him towards the door.
"Yeah, lets go,' Naruto said in monotone still watching the dancer out of the corner of his eye.
The car ride home consisted of Neji ranting about how frustrated he got with the men at the bar. Sometimes he could just shoot them. They arrived in front of Neji's place and he smiled at Naruto.
"Thanks for the lift Naru, by the way his name is Sasuke," Neji said before closing the door.
'Whose name is Sasuke?'Naruto asked himself but already knew who he meant. He knew that Neji had been referring to the dancing boy.

Later that week
Sasuke was walking down the isle of the grocery store. He was looking for something that looked fit to eat but wouldn't make him gain any more weight.
He couldn't find a lot of quick or easy foods and he strolled down the instant food isle when he saw a blonde with spiky hair piling ramen into his arms. Some of it was falling and he went over to help. He had no idea who it was, or why they wanted so much ramen, or even why they didn't get a basket or something. He picked up the few packages of ramen the boy had dropped and stood up. Bright blue eyes met his gaze; the same sky blue eyes that he had seen only a few days ago.
Sasuke looked at the packages of ramen in his hands. He didn't like it much but decided that he would get some for when he was rushing and couldn't cook supper.
.
.
Naruto had seen someone come up beside him and pick up the ramen that had fallen. He had first though that it had been a worker at the store but when the boy had stood up he saw that it was the raven-haired dancer.
"You're a good dancer," Naruto blurted out suddenly. Sasuke was taken aback by such a random comment.
"Thanks, I'm glad you liked it," Sasuke said and before the blonde could say anything he added, "You're a good singer."
"Thanks... how do you do it?" Naruto asked the dark-haired boy. Naruto couldn't help but ask. "I mean, I have a hard time singing in front of them and you dance so… provocatively in front of them and you don't hesitate."
"I would expect singing to be easier then dancing," was all Sasuke said before turning to walk to the check out. "You coming?" he asked over his shoulder. He knew the boy couldn't carry anymore and Sasuke was carrying some of his ramen so he could only follow.
"You never answered my question…" Naruto said trailing off when he saw Sasuke going the opposite way as him.
"I like to think of someone special and pretend I'm dancing only for them," Sasuke said paying and then walking away with his things leaving Naruto to think about what he'd said. He smiled. Naruto was kind of cute when he was in the right situation. Maybe that was why Sasuke couldn't stop thinking about him. Maybe that's why Naruto was the special person he "danced" for and maybe that's why he knew that he would see him again.
.
.
Naruto knew from Neji that Sasuke was dancing that night. He dressed appropriately for his destination. He didn't want to be the center of attention but he wanted to look good for Sasuke. He couldn't come up with a reason for this so he just didn't think about it. It was a very Naruto thing to do.
Naruto set off for the club. He could hear the music 3 blocks away and wondered why someone didn't complain.
Naruto smiled thinking about Sasuke. You didn't have to be gay to fall in love with his dancing; take Naruto for example.
Naruto found himself inside the club in no time at all and found a good spot in the front row. The show was about to begin...
