To Tell It Straight

Prologue

Ahhh moving day! The campus was bustling with parents and students alike, all rushing back and forth from the mini-van cramped parking lot to the towering dorms of Konoha University, arms exploding with desk organizers, pillows, and bags of keepsakes from home. Shouts from the stairwell could be heard echoing through the doors and out into the main courtyard of Hughes Hall, the freshman boys' dorm. The Resident Advisors of the dorm were shouting directions at the incoming freshmen to sign in, and the hall mentors busied themselves with welcoming nervous fathers and tearful mothers, assuring the older generation of the safe hands they left their young ones in. The next second a loud, bushy-haired brunette leaned out of a top story window and dropped an armful of water balloons on the unsuspecting masses.

Uzumaki Naruto had never seen such a beautiful sight. Here he was, all sunshine-haired, 6 feet of him, staring up at the third floor window, just over the back entrance to the dorm. THIS would be his new home for the next year, and in his mind, his first real home.

Well, I guess I better get unpacked already. Here goes! Lugging his two suitcases in a firmer grip and shouldering his duffel bag, Naruto plunged forward into the soaking wet mass of outraged parents and authority figures. He walked up to the table marked, with a now dripping sign, SIGN IN, and smiled sunnily at the disgruntled blond seated behind a large stack of forms and name tags.

"Name!" the busty older woman barked.

Flinching slightly, Naruto grinned even wider, and shouted just as loud "UZUMAKI NARUTO!"

"Holy crap you don't have to scream! I'm not freaking deaf ya know!" Eye-brow twitching, the woman wearing a name tag reading TSUNADE: FRESHMAN DEAN OF STUDENTS, glared threateningly at the young man in front of her. Damn it, what did I do to deserve a shouting idiot on the morning of the worst hangover I've had in YEARS! Guess that'll teach me to drink 3 bottles of sake the night before Freshman Day. If only I hadn't lost that bet with Jiraya..then I wouldn't have to be here handing out forms to sniveling mothers and their whining offspring! For the love of Kami, I'm a dean!

Laughing self-consciously and scratching the back of his neck, Naruto grinned saying "Sorry Granny, guess I'm just a little nervous. I still haven't gotten used to this college thing!" As the busty blond glared daggers at him he gulped. Guess I shouldn't have called her Granny..sheesh. People sure are sensitive here... "Um, maybe I could just get my forms and name tag?"

Still giving Naruto a look that would kill a lesser man, Tsunade shoved a name tag and a stack of forms into his shaking hands and ordered him to go unpack. "Meet in the main lobby in 2 hours brat!" Watching him hurry away, the blond thought Heh, guess I still got it. He'll be shaking in his little freshman booties in no time. But there's something different about him. Hmm...maybe that brat's not so bad after all..BUT IF HE CALLS ME OLD AGAIN I'LL SHOW HIM HOW TO RESPECT HIS ELDERS DAMN IT!

***

Heading up the main stairs of the dorm, Naruto was entranced with the abundant amount of energy pulsing from the very walls. This place is HUGE! And there's so many people! Dodging a red-faced teen with bushy brown hair and red triangle tattoos on his face, being pulled painfully by his ear by an older woman with similar tattoos, Naruto glanced up to see a large placard with Third Floor engraved on it by a metal door leading from the stairway. He glanced back at the whimpering teen who was busy yelling "Aw ma, it was just a welcome present!"

"No Kiba, that was juvenile delinquency! Now quit making trouble or I'll take you right back home with me..."

As the voices trailed off down the staircase Naruto chuckled and heaved his belonging through the door...and was met with an even greater amount of chaos than was on the yard before.

Everywhere he glanced, there were people. Naruto had to dodge footballs being lobbed through the hall, squeeze around mini-fridges and desks that had been displaced in the hall until their owners could find a space for them in their room, and hold his bags as close as possible so as not to jostle the people loitering in the hall chatting; as he glanced at the paper in his hand giving his room number, he looked up just in time to plaster himself against the wall as a dark-haired boy wearing a coat that covered half his face, the other half hidden by sunglasses, zoomed past on a skateboard. Continuing down the long hallway, Naruto nodded and smiled at each person, hoping that they couldn't see the fear growing inside his stomach. No! I am Uzumaki Naruto and this is just one more adventure! I can do this! Just as the thoughts finished forming he heard a voice beside his right ear shout "OH THE FIRES OF YOUTH BURN BRIGHT IN THIS SHINING HOUR OF YOUTH!"

Wincing with the force of the voice, Naruto turned to see a boy with bushy black brows, bowl-shaped hair, tears streaming in two long waterfalls down his face, and clothed entirely in green spandex. At least he assumed he was wearing all green spandex, however most of his body was obscured by the duck tape that now secured him a good 4 feet up the wall. His eyebrows reaching dangerously towards his hairline, Naruto jerked himself from his trance and raced blindly down the hall, not stopping until he reached his room, where he shoved the key hastily in the door, vaulted himself into the room, and slammed the door behind him, only allowing himself to breath again as he slumped against the door, hands on his knees.

As he attempted to slow his breathing to somewhere below the hyperventilating level, Naruto noticed another presence in the room and stiffened.

"Can I help you?" the god-man sneered?

Naruto jerked his head up and glared....at the most beautiful man he had ever seen in his entire 18 years of breathing, eating and sleeping. Oh dear Kami in heaven.
