FYIAlright, here's my last attempt to start a story and keep it going. I need all my followers to help though through inspiration, and just forcing me to write. Please, I would love feedback, as long as it isn't fullblown bashing. Thanks guys :D

Warning: I'm hoping this will turn out to be a yaoi, but I might make a sequel to this. . . not sure yet. . . :/

Disclaimer: I do NOT, nor will I ever, own Naruto or any characters. I do NOT make a profit off this. The only thing I own is story line.

FYI: THIS IS JUST A SHORT OPENING TO THE STORY TO KIND OF SHOW YOU THE TURMOIL BETWEEN THEM. THE FIRST REAL CHAPTER WILL COME SOON. hopefully. . . .


Walking into the dark room, blue eyes fell on the smallest of light that was produced from the tiny lamp that was pointed down towards a sheet of paper. He looked up and at the man that was sitting there, filling it out with haste. The blond shut the door behind him, causing the man at the desk to jump a bit and turn towards the door. The blond could hear the small exhale of breath from the man. He walked over, patting him on the shoulder. "Don't worry, it's just me. Why are you up at midnight filling out an application?" he asked, bending forward to see the paper. The man shook his head, going back to filling it out. 'Typical Sasuke, not wanting to talk at all,' the blond thought, falling onto his bed. "Hey, you going to sleep tonight or not?" he asked, lifting his head to look at Sasuke.

"No, I've got a ton of things to do," Sasuke muttered, grabbing his trusty pills. The blond knew what those were for. He also knew that Sasuke needed to learn to calm down with the pills or he could die. The blond shook he head, getting up and walking to the desk. He smiled down at Sasuke, turning the small lamp off. "Why did you do that?! I need this job and if I don't turn it in tomorrow, I'm not getting it! You've been supporting us for long enough, I need to do some work too!" he stated, turning the lamp back on and grabbing two pills from the bottle. The blond grabbed his wrist, smacking the pills out of Sasuke's hand and turning the lamp off once more.

"No, you can finish it in the morning. We're only in college and the reason I've got a job is because it's kind of a family business. Now, you're not taking your pill tonight and you're going to go to bed before you kill yourself."

"You can't tell me what to do and I need these pills. These pills won't kill me, not taking them will kill me. How would you even know?" Sasuke objected, standing up. The blond smirked, looking up at the taller man. He walked to bed, Sasuke's pills in hand.

"Umm, I know because I'm kind of studying to be a doctor. Now, you'll get these back with in the month. Go to sleep. You haven't slept in a week and I'm really worried about you," the blond muttered, looking away. Sasuke just smirked, laying in his own bed.

"Fine, Naruto, be that way. If I fail college and never get a job, it's all on you for not letting me take my damn pills," Sasuke stated, letting his eyes close. He was out before he could even hear what Naruto had to say to him. Even though Sasuke knew the annoying blond was right, he can't listen to him. He has so much on his shoulders that if he slips, it's all going to tumble down and pile up on him even more and he'll suffocate under the pressure. Sasuke had already tried to kill himself over all the pressure his family was putting on him. He needs to outdo everyone and become the best, but with his older brother standing in the way, that won't get done.

Naruto smiled, glad to see his best friend finally sleeping. He hates when he has to stay up every night just to get everything done. And even when he gets things done, they keep piling up. Naruto knew that Sasuke was right, but Naruto cares too much for his friend to see him fail at everything and die from over dose or from lack of sleep. Naruto had caught Sasuke countless times trying to kill himself over stress, and Naruto could understand why, but he wasn't going to let him out that easy. Sure, they had just started college and things were really bad now, things were going to get easier. And as for Sasuke getting a job to help support them, Naruto wasn't going to let that happen. Sasuke already had so much he was carrying, he couldn't handle a job, even if he did only work a few hours a night for four nights. Naruto was fine with supporting them.


The next morning, Naruto woke up to Sasuke at his desk finishing up his application. The blond rubbed his eyes, yawning. He then stretched his arms out, looking over at the clock. 6:14 am, great. Neither of them had to wake up till about eight, but of course Sasuke was awake so early. "What are you doing?" Naruto's voice called out, scaring Sasuke yet again.

"Sorry, did I wake you?" his weak voice asked. Naruto shook his head, not believing what he was hearing and seeing right now. He flung the sheets off him, stood up and walked over to the desk again. He grabbed the application, ripping it up. Sasuke stood up, staring at the blond like he lost his mind. Naruto stared him dead in the eyes as he took the little pieces and handed them back to Sasuke.

"No you didn't wake me," he said, casually. He turned his back to Sasuke, getting back in bed.

"Why the fuck would you do that?!" Sasuke yelled. Naruto looked over at him, confusion on his face.

"Do what? Rip up your application? Simple, you have too much going for you right now and I'm fine supporting us. You need to get back to bed. You're not going to your morning classes," Naruto informed, laying back down. Sasuke walked over to Naruto's bed, pulling him up by his shirt collar. "What are you doing? I said get to bed!"

"No, you're not my father, I'll do whatever I damn well please. You need to watch yourself, I don't care if we're friends, I'll beat the shit out of you if you do something like that again, understand?" Sasuke stared into Naruto's eyes as if to dare him to backtalk.

"You couldn't beat the shit out of me even if you tried," Naruto smirked. He knew he had Sasuke down for the count then, he could tell by the look in his eyes. Sasuke let him go, heading back into bed and falling asleep almost instantly. "Good boy," Naruto muttered, falling back to sleep as well.
