Okay, chapter 2. YAY! It's about time right? I'm sorry you had to wait so long I just wanted to finish my other story first before updating this one. And I have decided to update every two weeks because I'm sure I wouldn't be able to every week. But please bear with me if I'm a little late. So yeah…here it is.

WARNING: Drinking, smoking, arguing, and a bunch of naughty stuff.

Disclaimer: So what if I don't own Naruto? I don't need him…I just want him! T.T

Me: Okay, so yeah…I just wanted to say that reviews affect my writing. If I get a good review it encourages me to keep writing. But when I get a bad review it just makes me feel like what I'm writing is shit. Now, I'm not saying you can't review and tell me I have some mistakes. But there is a fine line between giving helpful advice and insulting my story and writing style. I'm not forcing you to read my stories. If you don't like it then don't read. It's not like I have a gun to your head…or do I?


The Years to Come

Chapter 2

We Meet Again

A drunk blonde laid his head on a table littered with empty beer bottles. His raven haired best friend sat across from him completely sober. As the blonde grabbed another drink he slurred, "So you know. Now we're getting as new boss. And do you know what that means?"

"Layoffs." His sober friend answered in a voice overflowing with boredom.

The blonde slammed his beer on the table and sat up. "Layoff!" He yelled.

"That's what I said." His raven friend commented.

"Oh." The blonde seemed to calm down. "Well it's going to suck! I mean, a new boss! What am I going to do? I'll need to wear a suite! A suite, Sai!"

Sai just shook his head. "Do you even own a suite?"

"I don't know!" The blonde yelled throwing his hands up in the air and flinging his beer across the room. He looked to were it landed, then as Sai. "Hand me another one."

"No." The raven haired man grabbed the six-pack before the blonde could reach it. "You're drunk Naruto. It's two in the morning, you have to be at work at eight and it's a two hour drive. If you go to sleep now you can get at least four hours of sleep."

But his words fell on deaf ears. The blonde just continued his ranting. "With a new boss my talents won't be seen. I mean, the old boss knew how awesome I am but now I am going to need to kiss so much ass! I mean, do you know how many people I had to sleep with in that office to get to the position I'm at?"

"Naruto. You've only slept with three people in your office and only one of them had a position higher than yours."

"Not the point!" The blonde slurred trying to get another beer. "Man. Life hates me…A new boss! And you know what that means right?"

One of Sai's eyes twitched and he glared. "Yes, a new boss means layoffs, you hate that you'll have to kiss ass, and that you'll have to wear a suite that you might not even own. But instead of drinking away your night and repeating everything you say to me you should have checked if you had a suite, gotten one if you didn't and you should have gone to bed hours ago so that you can actually stay awake tomorrow!" As Sai finished his rant and looked at the blonde he felt like slamming his head against something blunt once he realized that the blonde had fallen asleep.

The raven haired man picked up his friend and took him to bed. As he laid him in bed he could only shack his head at the blonde man. "Like a child." He muttered to himself. "A completely wasted child." Once the blonde was in bed Sai went to the closet and pulled out a pillow and a blanket and headed to the couch. "The things I do for that guy." He muttered before getting in bed…couch.


"That's a great view." A red head commented making the raven haired man looking out the window of his new office turn. "So, your dad really entrusted you with this kind of a job."

The raven shrugged. "This job is just a test. To see how I can handle a company."

The red head chuckled. "Fresh out of college and already got a job like this. I've got to say, being rich really pays off."

"Shut up Gaara." The raven glared at his best friend. "I didn't get this company just because of my father, but because of the hard work I have put into everything I do."

"Yup, when it comes to work you're the best. But your private life could use a little help." The redhead smirked.

"How do you mean? My private life is just fine."

"No it's not."

"How would you know? It's my private life, it's private." The raven glared.

"Sasuke." Gaara shook his head. "Just look at yourself."

"I'm looking and I'm at the top. You said it yourself. Look at the view."

"Yeah, a great view that you'll be looking at alone." Gaara glared at the man and he glared back. "Sasuke, you're the best at everything yet you don't want to be around your family, and I can understand that, but I'm your only friend, Sasuke. You don't have any others."

"I don't want any friends nor do I need any."

"And what about a girlfriend?"

"I'm gay." The raven said bluntly.

"Then a boyfriend."

"Look, like I said before it's called a private life for a reason. It's my life and you have no business meddling in it." Sasuke scowled and sat down in his new chair.

Gaara looked away and Sasuke did the same. Silence rang for minutes that seemed like hours. Finally, the redhead spoke up. "So what are you going to do tomorrow?" The raven just looked at him and raised an eyebrow. "You know there's going to be layoffs. Have you decided already who you're going to fire?"

Sasuke shook his head. "No, haven't even looked at their files."

"Then how are you going to decide?"

"I'm going to interview them."

"All of them?" Gaara's eyes widened.

"No not all, just the ones that work on this floor. This is the top floor. I can't have morons working here."

Gaara shrugged. "Sounds like too much work t me."

Sasuke turned to look out the window. "Well I can't deny it. It will be hard work."


"I told you." Sai spoke in a matter-of-factly voice. "The whole night I was telling you to go to sleep, but would you listen? No. Why? Because you were totally wasted. And now here you are, hunched over the toilet, puking your brains out."

And it was true. The blonde was, in fact, hunched over the toilet, puking his brains out, and he had been there since four in the morning. "I hate my life." The blonde groaned to himself before another portion of his stomach was heaved up.

"It's your own fault." His raven friend said. "Now it's almost five so you have to get ready for work. What do you want for breakfast? Eggs with bacon?" At this the blonde's only response was another portion of his stomach down the drain. "Right, how about a granola bar."

It wasn't until he started dry heaving that me moved away from the toilet and got into the shower. Of course, the hot water wasn't on. He had his son of a bitch landlord to thank for that. After his quick shower the blonde brushed his teeth and thought he should had done that first, happy to get the taste of throw up out of his mouth.

As he headed over to his bedroom he saw a suite lying on the bed. Sai must have found it. He thought to himself. But I haven't worn a suite since I first started this job four years ago. Naruto frowned and decided to try it on. It was a tight fit but it was all he had. He headed toward the living room and saw Sai there with a coffee. "This is to help you stay awake."

Naruto smiled and took the mug. He sat down and started to drink his coffee and got up to leave. His suite case ready to go. As he reached the door he stopped and looked down. "Sai?" The raven haired man answered with a 'hn.' "I only own sneakers."

Sai sighed. "Wear your black sneakers. I'm sure no one will notice. It's not like they'll be staring at your feet."

Naruto nodded and put on the shoes. He grabbed his suite case and headed for the door with just a nod good-bye to Sai. Naruto got in his car and started it. "Okay. I'm ready for whoever's behind that desk." He muttered to himself before pulling out of his driveway and headed toward the office.


"God damn it!" The blonde yelled hitting his steering wheel with both his hands. God damn it all. He was currently stuck in traffic. All because some moron thought it would be funny to shoot at cars with a bibi gun. It ended in a car crash and now the blonde was stuck on an unmoving line. Naruto sighed as he set the car to park and sat back. So much for first impressions.

By the time Naruto got to work he was already half an hour late. As he rushed into the office and the first person he saw was his fellow coworker and friend, Kiba. The brunette didn't hesitate to point out the blonde's tardiness. "Dude, do you realize what time it is? And on the day the new boss arrives. You are in serious trouble dude, the boss decided to interview us all over again!"

Naruto's eyes widened. "What?"

"Yeah, come on we have to hurry." Kiba pulled on the blonde's arm.

Naruto nodded and speed walked over to the elevator just as he was about to get in he ran into a woman with a bunch of coffees. As they crashed the coffee was spilled all over the blonde's chest and it was piping hot. Naruto groaned and just waved away the woman that was apologizing, with a forced smile. When he got in the elevator he cursed. "Damn it! Now what?"

Kiba paused and looked at the blonde covered in coffee. The second the elevator stopped and opened its doors Kiba grabbed his friend's hand and dragged him to the bathroom. He checked to make sure no one was in before locking the door and starting to undress. "Take off your clothes." He ordered.

Naruto blushed. "Hey Kiba you're my friend and all but I don't want to sleep with a coworker. Besides the new boss is here and- Oww!" The blonde took a blow to the head from his friend.

"I don't want to sleep with you idiot!" Kiba glared. "I meant take off your clothes so we can switch. Well the top half anyway. Your pants and shoes are fine."

Naruto grinned. "Really, you wouldn't mind?"

"Yup. I already had my interview with the new boss so it's cool." Kiba grinned back removing his shirt.

The blonde did the same and saw in the mirror how red his chest was. The burn the coffee left behind was like sunburn. A knock on the door startled the two men. "Naruto! Kiba! You in there?"

"Ino?" Naruto was surprised to hear the voice of his secretary right outside.

"Hey hurry up. I was able to move your name to the end of the list Naruto but you're up next. Hurry!"

Naruto nodded even though he knew she couldn't see him. The blonde put on Kiba's shirt and coat and found they were loose on his body. Contrary wise, his shirt and coat fit Kiba tightly. The brunette could barely button up the coat. Naruto chuckled as the two head out.

Kiba saw a man exit the boss's office. "You're up dude." The brunette slapped the blonde on the back and the blonde's stomach let out a loud growl. Kiba paused and Naruto blushed. "Dude!"

"What? I was puking my guts out today. I couldn't eat!"

Kiba shook his head. "Here, I got some candy from some guy. Their in my coat pocket."

Naruto nodded. He took the hard candy and ate them all at once. Maybe this would quiet his stomach down.

As the two neared the boss's office the blonde's head began to spin. He blinked a few times and shook it off. "He's coming out!" Kiba whispered. Naruto spun to look at the boss. His vision blurred and he lost his balance for a second. As the raven haired man turned and for a second blue met black. A second later the blonde was leaning over and spilling his stomach acids all over Kiba's shoes. He looked back at the boss. The raven's eyes widened and he mouthed, "Naruto?" The blonde's vision started to fade and all he could manage before passing out was to mutter, "Sasuke."


Sasuke sat in his office. It was way past closing time so he was the only one left in the while office. The only thing going through his mind was, Naruto.

Naruto was here. He worked in the company. And a very high position too. How could this have happened? He couldn't work with Naruto. He wouldn't work with him.

His mind went back to when the blonde collapsed. At that time he was frozen and everyone around him were idiots.

*Flashback*

Sasuke stood frozen staring at the collapsed form of his former best friend. When the raven finally over got his shock of seeing his ex-best friend, he looked around him at his employees. Some were panicking and others were just standing there whispering. Surely making up a story as to why the blonde collapsed.

"Call an ambulance." Sasuke ordered, yet no one moved wondering who was going to call. Sasuke rolled his eyes and walked over to his secretary's desk. He got on the phone and immediately called an ambulance while the rest of the office just gossiped or stood dumbfound.

*End of Flashback*

Sasuke groaned. Everyone in the office was an idiot. What was he going to do? At this rate he would have to fire half the office. Not one person even thought to call an ambulance. Hell they could have called the police if they wanted to but no one even thought of that!

The raven shook his head. If it weren't for him who knows what would have happened to Naruto. He could still be lying in the middle of the office. Honestly, what if he had died? Sasuke's heart nearly stopped at that thought. No, it wasn't because he was worried about the idiot, he tried to reassure himself. There was a perfectly good reason he was worried about that thought. It was because…it was his first day at work and a death would be something hard to deal with. He nodded to himself. Yeah, that was it. He smirked and looked out the window. He could see the hospital that had taken the blonde. Sasuke bit his lip. I wonder if he's okay. he thought to himself.

His eyes widened. No, what I mean by that is… the raven groaned and stood getting his coat. I'm going to a bar and drink that damn idiot out of my mind!


It was the end of the day. The moon was shining up in the pitch black sky when the blonde was let out of the hospital. As it turned out the candy he ate was drugged. Apparently he was lucky to have eaten that many all at once. He puked out most of them. Of course the blonde didn't feel very lucky. Aseptically after getting his stomach pumped. But now here he was getting in Sai's car, and hating the fact he hadn't died. That way he wouldn't have to see Sasuke again. As he stared at the buildings placing by a thought came to him. The doctors said the candy could cause hallucinations so maybe when he saw Sasuke there, he was just hallucinating. The blonde grinned. "Hey, why don't we stop by a bar? Celebrate me not dying."

Sai glared at him. "Are you crazy? You just got out of the hospital! Your stomach's been pumped and you barely ate anything all day and you want to drink? Not a chance. We are heading home right now! And tomorrow I'll take you to work and-"

"That's a nice bar." The blonde pointed out.

Sai growled. "Don't ignore me! I'm serious! I am not going to a bar!"

"Okay then, drop me off."

"No Naruto! Listen to me!"

But the blonde was beyond listening. He was just too relieved to have been hallucinating so now he had to drink that hallucination right out of his mind. Since the raven haired man wouldn't stop, the blonde opened the door. Causing Sai to slam the breaks and the blonde jumped out, making a run for it. Sai cursed and yelled after the blonde.

Naruto looked around and saw the bar he had pointed to. He ran right past it knowing it would be the first place Sai would check. Instead he ran for who knows how long until he entered a bar just a few blocks away from his office.

The blonde entered and instantly headed for the bar. "One beer please." He said.

Sure thing cutie." The bartender winked at him getting his drink. "So you here alone sweetie?"

The blonde smirked. "Not for long. When do you get off?"

"Half an hour" The brunette haired man smiled.

"Not long at all." Naruto tipped the beer downing it all in one go. "One more please."

The bartender's smile grew. "You're fun. I think I just might leave early tonight."

Naruto grinned taking the next beer. "Even better."

Five beers later the blonde was slammed against a wall of the bar by the off duty bartender having his mouth devoured. Naruto moaned as the man moved his mouth to his neck, sucking and biting. The blonde gasped as the man found a special place just below his ear. They ground their clothed erections together creating sweet friction. Naruto stared out in the crowds of people all around them not paying attention to the two. Among them was a raven haired man. Their eyes met and Naruto prayed that he was hallucinating again but something told him this was for real. He groaned. "I need another beer."

"I've got a place in mind were you can drink all the beer you want. There's also a bed. You want to come?"

"Yeah I do. Right now. And I want it hard." The blonde heard the man chuckle.

"Whatever you want." The man smirked. Naruto just groaned and cursed fate.
