Rock Band
Blue skies reined over the town and birds chirped, people walked with their groceries down the cobbled streets. A blond outcast walked down the street, his mask of happiness covering the darker truth behind cerulean eyes. Up ahead of the boy was his best friend. The red head was the only one other than his adoptive father to be able to see through his happy mask. The red-haired boy went up to meet the blond.
"Hey, Naruto, I just got the new Rock Band Wii. My bro, sis, and I are having a get together and I wanted you to come," he stated monotonously.
They had walked out of the residential area and into a side street that was completely deserted. Naruto's prefect mask slipped completely away and he looked like the real person he was, a hated for no good reason, abused, 13 year old orphan.
"You know how I am around crowds, Gaara," there was a bit of a whine in his voice, and seeing that his mask had slipped, Gaara couldn't help but hug him.
"Please, I really want you to come. I'll be there." Naruto still looked speculate. "Temari used her fake I.D. to get three bottles of sake?" (A.U.: I do not in any way support underage drinking but it was what popped into my head.)
"Gaara, you know I don't drink."
"Neither do I but that means all the older kids will passed out like half way through the party and we can play Rock Band."
"Sigh Okay. I'll go."
"Okay come tonight around ten."
"Alright."
They walked away, one to go to the park for the next seven hours, the other to invite two other people. The red-haired boy grinned evilly. He first went to his boyfriend's to tell the bushy-brow about the party and then headed to another residence.
He knocked twice before a tall, longhaired man came to the door. He was the envy of men and the dream of girls, too bad, as very few knew, he was gay. His blue skinned boyfriend walked up behind him and kissed his cheek.
"Kisame!" He hissed behind him at the man.
"Sorry," was the simply replied before shrinking back into the house.
"Is Sasuke here?" The red head asked.
"Um… yeah, he's upstairs."
"Thanks, Itachi."
Gaara climbed the stairs to a certain raven-haired boy's room. He knocked and the door squeaked open. Inside the raven was sitting against the end of the huge king sized bed playing Grand Theft Auto.
Without even looking away from his game he said, "Hey, Gaara. What do I owe this visit to?"
"I have a Rock Band Wii party tonight. It'll just be Naruto, Lee, you, and me." He said as he crossed the room and flopped on the comfy bed.
"Sure, wanna play?" He answered as he tossed a controller at Gaara, already knowing the answer. They played for hours.
At nine Gaara's phone went off:
I think it turned ten o'clock but I don't really know
Then I can't remember caring for an hour or so
Started crying and I couldn't stop-
He got to the phone in his back pocket. "Naruto?"
"Yo, can you come get me from the park?"
"Sure and then we can head to my house."
"You at Lee's?"
"Na, Sasuke's. What time is it?"
"Like nine fifteen."
"Wow, I've been here like ten hours. We were playing GTA."
"Oh, alright."
"We'll be there in like a couple minutes. Don't get hurt."
"I won't."
Gaara clicked the phone shut. Phase one complete. He knew Naruto and Sasuke would be a good couple. He had been looking since about six months before when Naruto had finally come out and said he was gay. He had searched high and low and Sasuke was only one suited to be his best friends boyfriend. He and his brother had been shunned by their father when they told him that they were gay, not together but seperatly, and they now lived on what their father was giving them each month, which was a large sum, to keep them away from the main Uchiha house hold.
Naruto and Sasuke didn't know each other THAT well but well enough to know they existed. Tonight he hoped to get them together.
They walked briskly to the park. Sasuke had no idea why, but it became clearer when they got in the park and to a tall oak. A boy with blond hair in a pony tale and a red head had pinned Naruto to the tree. The blond was screaming insults at the other blond and was about to punch him. Naruto just stood there with no emotion on his face. Sasuke had no clue as to why Naruto wouldn't fight back and just stopped walking but Gaara sped up and ran kicking the blond in the head as he jumped. The two looked like they were going to fight back but then walked away, glaring back.
"Oi, I told you not to get hurt!" Gaara screached, showing an actual emotion.
"Well, I didn't, did I?"
"When the hell are you going to get it through your thick, dumbass skull that these guys aren't innocent and kick their asses?!"
"Listen, I just don't like hurting people, you know that."
"Okay, okay. Let's go get Lee and head to my house," he said, calming down.
Sasuke walked behind the two as they discussed what song they would play first. 'Why were those guys trying to hurt him,' he thought to himself. He decided he'd ask later.
