Shelly's Note: All that's added in this chapter is a small scene about the nightlight towards the end, if you don't care about it…feel free to skip it…other than that nothing really significant was added…fixed a few grammatical errors and tried to clean it up a little but it's pretty much the same…
However, it would be nice to have a review from anyone reading to know that you are reading, because while I am happy 5 people are, I may also start to work on other stories if I don't see more interest in this one again…. you don't have to read each chapter again, just post a review to let me know you are still reading so I don't move on thinking I lost my readers for this story…
I've planned the first 24 chapters already, I may plan more tonight…I'm trying to get the first 8 chapters up quickly because I know some people have read them already, so don't think this will be my normal updating speed because it will really just depend.
Chapter 2: Roommate
Naruto was excited as he made his way to collect his room key. He had to stand in a short line, as all the tables that were set up for the purpose of handing keys out were currently helping other students. As he stood in line, he thought about what kind of roommate he wanted. He hoped he might be a friend he had made from basketball in high school or maybe one of the few people not from the surround districts so that he wouldn't know him at all. The University was small and made up mostly of students of the surrounding areas, unless they traveled in for the Uchiha funded business school.
Naruto hated the Uchihas, or more specifically, he hated Sasuke Uchiha. He knew that Sasuke's parents had died, only because everyone talked about the young Uchiha. Naruto still felt that Sasuke was perfect and had everything, yet he didn't care for any of it. The dark haired teen had flawless skin; the perfect body, smoldering eyes, and everybody loved him for nothing other than his looks and his last name. If there was one Naruto didn't want as a roommate, it was Sasuke.
"Next," the lady at the table called. Naruto made his way to the table and she looked at him with annoyance. "Name," she demanded as she looked at him.
"Naruto Uzumaki," he smiled as he answered. He could tell that she didn't care for his enthusiasm as she got his key. After practically throwing the key at him, she glared at him until he walked away. He couldn't help but think, 'Well somebody hates their job.' He then read the card with his room number on '331 Konoha Hall.' He smiled to himself and made his way toward the dorms.
As he walked, he thought more about his roommate. He knew he didn't want Sasuke, but he still hoped for somebody hot. After his failed date with his friend Sakura a few years back, he confirmed his own suspicion that he might be gay. His friends were okay with it, since he wasn't attracted to any of them and he rarely talked about it. However, as he thought about it, he thought that being attracted to his roommate might make things awkward. He sighed and decided to stop thinking about it as he walked the rest of the way toward Konoha Hall.

Sasuke Uchiha got to his dorm room early. He figured that he'd arrive before his roommate and he was right. He quickly unpacked his things, finding a place for everything on his side of the room. He picked the side by the window, because windows always provided more light. He quickly found a place that wasn't very noticeable to plug in his nightlight, figuring that if he were asked about it he could just make something up or glare at them to shut them up.
He hadn't really thought about who his roommate might be. He had heard Suigetsu and Juugo talking about roommates long before school started, but he just ignored the conversation. He figured he'd just see whom he was stuck with when the time came. There was only one person that Sasuke hoped it wouldn't be and that was Naruto Uzumaki. For some reason the guy hated him. Sasuke was just quiet and kept to himself, but Naruto was always picking fights with him. Sasuke and Naruto had fought ever since he could remember. If there was one person Sasuke would hate as a roommate, it was the blonde.
Sasuke decided that he didn't want to think about who his roommate would be. Instead, he wanted to take a shower and relax a little. He grabbed his towel and bathroom supplies that he'd brought from home and walked into the bathroom. As he figured, the bathroom joined their room to another room. It only had enough space for a toilet, shower/bathtub, as well as a few sinks and a mirror yet was to be shared by four boys. After shutting the door to the bathroom, he undressed and got in the shower.
NS
Naruto walked into his room to see that his roommate was already there. He could hear the shower, so he figured that he was in there. As he opened the closet Naruto felt a hated the feeling in his stomach, it wasn't just because of all the dark colors which filled it but also because he was sure he knew who wore those clothes. He frowned, as he was sure he saw what he was sure was one of Sasuke's shirts hanging up.
Sasuke turned the shower off and cursed at himself as he saw he forgot his other clothes. He looked at the bruise on his back and knew he couldn't go out there without a shirt on. He knew he heard someone come in so he quickly pulled on the shirt he was wearing earlier, figuring his roommate wouldn't know the difference. He quickly put on what he was wearing before and walked out into the room.
Both boys' eyes widened when they saw each other, Sasuke's more than Naruto's. "Damn it," Naruto said as he saw Sasuke. They glared at each other, both seeing their enemy. "I can't believe my luck," the blonde crossed his arms.
"You're luck?" Sasuke scoffed as he went over to his bed. He ran a hand through his hair, wishing it would be some sort of mistake. "Trust me dobe, I'm the unlucky one in this room," Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"Must you do that already," Naruto growled as he clenched his fists.
"Do what?" Sasuke teased with a smirk. He figured if Naruto was going to hate him anyway, might as well give him something to hate.
"You're acting like a jerk," Naruto shouted. "And you've only said a few sentences," he added, just making Sasuke smirk more.
"I will when you stop being annoying," Sasuke rolled his eyes as Naruto started getting more in his face. "Listen, I'm not happy we're roomed together either," he sighed as he rubbed his forehead, trying to make his headache go away.
Naruto glared at his dark haired roommate as he mumbled, "You're the annoying one." Sasuke didn't respond, instead just sat on his bed and ignored the blonde. Naruto watched as Sasuke pulled out his journal.
Sasuke figured that Naruto would see the journal eventually so there was no point in hiding it. He'd been keeping the journal ever since his "traumatic event." That was what they called it, because no one would talk about his parents' death. His therapist and Kakashi would try; however, he just put up his walls. Kakashi made him go to a therapist and the only opening up he did to her was through his journal that she made him keep.
"You keep a journal?" Naruto asked as he stared at Sasuke.
"Hn," was all Sasuke said as he continued to write. He didn't even look up at the blonde, though he could feel the blue eyes staring at him.
"Why? Isn't that a little girly?" Naruto teased.
"None of your business," Sasuke glared, happy he hadn't found the nightlight yet. He protected his journal as the blonde eyed it. Sasuke promised himself only he and his therapist would see what's inside it.
Naruto tried to think of a come back, but instead his eyes zoned in on a nightlight, "Is that a nightlight?" He couldn't help but laugh, the almighty Sasuke Uchiha still had a nightlight.
"Shut up dobe," he glared.
"Seriously, a nightlight, what are you five?" Naruto grinned thinking he could use this against him in the future.
Sasuke knew he had think fast, so he said the first thing that popped into his mind, "I use it so I don't have to turn the light on to get up for the bath room at night, is that a problem?" His voice was lethal in the way he said it, ending the conversation right there.
Naruto rolled his eyes at his dark haired roommate, saying, "Whatever." However, he couldn't help but think it wasn't true. First off, he was being way to secretive with the journal and then the guy had a nightlight. It was all a little strange. Rather than thinking about it, he decided that he needed to get out of the room. He grabbed his key and his phone and walked out of the room.
'What dorm room are you in?' He text Kiba, hoping that he'd already got to the school and to his room. A few moments later, he received a text saying, 'Konoha Hall 321.' He smiled as he made his way down the hall; happy someone he knew was his floor.
He knocked on the door and Shino opened the door. "Let me in, please, I need to get out of my room. You'll never believe who my roommate is," Naruto said with a sigh as he pushed his way into the room.
"Good to see you too," Shino said as he shut the door.
"Who's you're roommate?" Kiba asked with a laugh, though he had a feeling he knew because of how Naruto was acting.
"Sasuke," Naruto said as he collapsed on one of the beds.
Kiba sat down as he said, "Alright I'm here, and you can complain all you want."
Naruto smiled, "I knew there was a reason you were my best friend."
