Sasuke sat atop a pile of carelessly thrown aside coats and he took small sips of beer from a red plastic cup. It was his first college party that some upperclassman was throwing and he wasn't quite sure what he was supposed to be doing. Techno music blared from the other room and he could make the outline of gyrating bodies. Sasuke had no desire whatsoever to join them. All night girls had been coming onto him but he ignored them, thinking that's what his older brother Itachi would do in that kind of situation.

Sasuke supposed he should be socializing, because wasn't that the point of these things? He swallowed another mouthful of beer. He was pleasantly buzzed but far from drunk. Sasuke knew that alcohol would make him friendlier, more approachable.

Sasuke didn't know anyone, which wasn't unsurprising considering he was a freshman. Still, it annoyed him. Everything had a way of annoying Sasuke one way or the other. In that regard, he very much resembled his elder brother.

Classes would start in two days so this was the last chance to really party without suffering unpleasant consequences.

Sasuke wanted his college experience to be fun, at least his freshman year. Sasuke guessed that he would have to change his image if he didn't want to be known as that quiet, intimidating, sarcastic nerd. He especially didn't want to be Itachi's younger brother. Sure, they both went to the same college but there were more people here than there were in high school. Thousands more.

Sasuke also planned on losing his virginity and he couldn't see how to accomplish that without leaving his room. Which was why he'd gone with his blonde, bubbly roommate Naruto to this party. But he'd lost Naruto almost immediately; somehow the guy already knew a lot of people on campus even though there'd only been a week of orientation.

Sasuke downed the rest of his drink, waiting for the magic to happen. He felt more relaxed, which was a good sign. He felt like he could manage small talk, which usually annoyed him and caused him to snap at his companion.

Sasuke set his cup down on a nearby table. He peeled off his sweater; the alcohol had made him uncomfortably warm.

He stood up, the need to shake off a restless energy had taken hold of him.

He strode into the other room, letting the music pound in his ears. Eyes closed, Sasuke raised his arms and began to dance with abandon, not caring how stupid he looked.

He opened his eyes and glanced around the room. His eyes locked with a white-blonde man with the most beautiful pair of obsidian eyes Sasuke had ever seen. Sasuke blinked and the man was gone. With a vague feeling of disappointment, Sasuke looked around to see where he'd gone. How cliché, Sasuke thought with a wry grin. Our eyes met from across the room. Really? Sasuke laughed to himself. One song later the stranger appeared before him as if by magic. The man was tall, taller than Sasuke, probably around six feet.

"Want to dance?" the stranger asked with a smile.

Sasuke didn't want to seem desperate so he pretended to consider for a moment before breathing, "Yes".

The man slid behind Sasuke, his hands touching along Sasuke's sides before settling on his hips. They started moving and Sasuke was immediately flooded with desire. The man's groin was at Sasuke's lower back and Sasuke could feel the other guy's hard on.

"Here, turn around," the man instructed, rotating Sasuke so they were pressed chest to chest.

Sasuke rested his arms on the other man's shoulders just as the lights came on and the music stopped.

"What's your name?" Sasuke asked, his insides on fire.

"Kakashi."

Sasuke thought the name Kakashi sounded vaguely familiar and he tried to remember but then Kakashi hotly breathed on Sasuke's neck, asking what Sasuke's name was.

Sasuke thought for a moment. What was his name? He was having difficultly remembering so he shrugged. "Does it matter?"

"I suppose not." Then Kakashi took a step back and Sasuke nearly stumbled. "I've got a single, off campus."

Sasuke took a deep breath, the alcohol had yet to lose its edge. He was far from sober. He could do this.

"Then let's get out of here," Sasuke said, his voice low and reminiscent of Itachi's. He touched Kakashi's neck as he had seen his brother do in order to seduce countless others.

Kakashi looked bemused for a moment. Then seemed to shake himself.

"I thought you'd never ask," Kakashi replied.
