Hey! Here is chapter two. Now, even though I am posting this…I don't know how much later. In reality, I am writing this right after I finished the first chapter. Nope, no break. No, it's not because I am super excited. It's because Sylvia wants to know how it ends so she's forcing me write. So yeah…I guess you must all be very happy.
WARNING: You know the warnings. So I won't repeat them. Mainly because Sylvia is breathing down my neck waiting for me to start on the story.
Disclaimer: I have just run out of plans on how to get Naruto. Please someone give me a plan! I'm begging!
Me: So Crystle, what do you think about Sylvia. Pretty awesome isn't she?
Crystle: I don't like her.
Me: Why?
Crystle: She's just like you.
Me: Hey! What's that supposed to mean?
Crystle: It means I don't like you.
Me: Awwwww I luv you too!
In a Week's Time
Chapter 2
Day 1
"Okay, you're ready!" Kiba looked Naruto up and down. His once bright blonde hair was now covered by brunette locks, and the powder on his face covered up the whisker marks quite nicely. "Right so have you had time to learn the recipes for all the drinks?"
"Kiba! There are like a hundred drinks! How the hell am I supposed to memorize them? I mean couldn't we take some off the list. Like eggnog. Who the hell is going to dink eggnog in July?" The blonde-now-brunette complained.
"Look, what the customer orders the customer gets. No exceptions. And did you at least learn the ones that are most popular?"
"Yes. Some of them. Like Cosmopolitan and Bloody Mary." The blonde smiled, proud of himself.
"Is that it?"
The blonde's face fell. "No that is not it!"
"Okay, okay. If you don't know the recipe then you'll look it up, okay? Now remember I divided the drinks into eight categories depending on what they contain. Like Wine and Champagne, Whiskey, Tequila, Brandy,-"
"-Gin, Rum, Liquor, and Vodka. I know!" Naruto finished for his friend. "Do you remember how to act around Sasuke?"
"Yeah." Kiba scowled. He was now wearing a blonde wig and had three whisker marks drawn on each cheek. "If he comes home early I have to call you, even if you don't answer and pretend to be asleep. But that won't happen because you will always come home before him, right?"
"Yeah, well, maybe." Kiba glared at the blonde. "Hey, he's your boss you tell me. Shouldn't you know when he lets you off. Even if he gives you another shift."
"Yeah, but he's your boyfriend. So shouldn't you know when he gets off work." Kiba snarled. He looked at his watch. "Okay, look, you're going to be late. And the boss does not like that. Now, you'll be taking my car and-"
"Wait, why your car?"
"Because if he put a tracking devise in your cell than we can be pretty sure he put one in your car! Now listen up! You're going to be working the bar with Shikamaru. He's lazy, but a pretty cool guy. If you need help, he's the one to ask. Now go!" Kiba pushed the blonde out the door.
Kiba closed the door behind him and sighed. He moved to the living room. "Fridge full of food, hundreds of channels, surround sound, a complete DVD and video game collection, and super-fast internet." Kiba smirked. "Yeah, I've got it real hard. Ha! Best deal I ever made."
Naruto sat in the car. The car parked right in front of the bar. He took a deep breath before releasing it. "Okay Naruto. You're ready. You can do this. Kiba was just being Kiba. It'll be easy." The blonde took another breath and got out of the car. Moved to the front door and saw a tall man standing there. "Hi, um…I'm the new bartender." The blonde smiled.
"ID please." The man held out his hand.
The blonde smile. "Right, of course. Here you go." He handed his ID to the man.
The man looked at the ID and then at the blonde. He raised an eyebrow. "Sorry, no kids allowed. And if I were you, I'd get my money back for the fake ID."
"Wait what?"
"Your fake ID-"
"It's not fake!" The blonde argued. "It's real."
"Listen son. On this ID you have blonde hair and scars on your face." The man pointed to Naruto's hair then his face. "Brown hair and no scars."
The blonde's eyes widened. "Oh, no you see, I'm wearing make-up and a wig." Naruto tried to explain but the man just shook his head. "Okay, come on. I'm twenty seven. You can see that."
"Look more like seventeen to me."
"What? You have got to be kidding me!" The blonde yelled. "Look, I'm late so can't I just go in? I'm an employee!"
The man sighed. "Look I told you-"
"Is there a problem out here?" A man with long black hair walked out.
"No boss. I was just-"
"Wait, you're the boss?" Naruto turned to the black haired man.
"Yes. And you are?"
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki." The blonde grinned. "The replacement Kiba sent."
"I see. I am Orochimaru." He replied taking the blondes ID from the man. "You look different."
"Yeah, well you see the thing is-"
"Save it." Orochimaru threw the blondes ID at him. "You're late. Now get to work."
"Um…Yes sir." Naruto nodded. Picking up his ID that fell on the floor.
"And just so you know, employees are supposed to use the back entrance." Orochimaru pointed for the blonde to go.
Naruto laughed nervously before nodding and heading to the back. Kiba hadn't mentioned that. And now because of that he got off to a bad start with the boss. Naruto shook his head and finally found the back entrance. Dang, this place was big. He turned the handle and pushed but the door wouldn't move. He tried again but again nothing. Naruto cursed under his breath. The door was locked. He turned around to go back to the front when he heard a click. He quickly turned back to the door only to have it slam into his face. The blonde let out a yelp and backed away holding his now bleeding nose.
"Oh, sorry! I just came to tell you that the door opens out." A man with long brown hair came next to him helping him inside. "Okay here, sit down." Naruto sat down and looked at the man as he got a box of tissues. The blonde grabbed the box and took out a lot to cover his nose. "Right,, umm…Pinch the top of your nose and lean your head back and I will go get an ice pack. So you just wait right there. And again I'm sorry."
Naruto sat there doing just what he said and sighed. What a great first day this was turning out to be. He was late, pissed off his boss and was hit by a door. Just great. He whipped his nose of all the blood. Smiling as no more came out. "Where is that other bartender?" Orochimaru walked in. He looked at the blonde and the grimaced. "What the hell did you do?" Naruto opened his mouth. "No, forget it. Just get into the uniform and get to work. Now!"
The blonde nodded and rushed to the dressing rooms. There were a lot of outfits. Most of them were skimpy short dresses or the kind of outfits the dancers on stage would wear. Naruto thanked the gods that he had a normal bartending outfit. He put his uniform on in a rush and headed to the bar. He saw a man smoking a cigarette, with a spikey ponytail at the bar" Naruto smiled. That must be Shikamaru. "Um…excuse me."
The brunette turned around. "You the new guy Kiba sent in? Naruto right?" The blonde nodded. "Okay look, in a few minutes it's going to get really crowded in here, so when that happens I won't have time to show you everything. Now, the drinks are all in the back here." Shikamaru showed him were. "You have them split into eight groups. Kiba gave you all the recipes right?" Naruto nodded and pulled out the papers. "Okay, so if I can't help you just look it up in there and make the drink how it says. Now try to memorize as many of the recipes that you don't know."
Naruto nodded and looked down at the papers, studying them intently. There was no way he could memorize all of those. He didn't have much time before his first customer arrive. "I'll take a martini." The man said. The blonde smiled and nodded. Good, it was one of the recipes he knew. Another man ordered a brandy. And another, a margarita and some beers. This was easier than he thought. Kiba made it sound like they would be asking for drinks the blonde never heard of.
The blonde was doing great. Another customer came. "Can I get a shot of whiskey and…umm…gimme a minute." Naruto nodded and gave the man his shot. The man downed it and them said, "And a dragonfly."
Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Excuse me?"
"You heard me. A dragonfly." The man repeated himself.
Naruto nodded. "Right…just a moment." He turned around and started flipping through the pages. Looking for the name "dragonfly." Who the hell names an alcoholic drink a dragonfly anyways. Finally, he came across it. In the "made with gin" section. The blonde smiled and got to work. Ignoring the man's complaints that it was taking too long. Finally, he turned around placing the drink in front of the man. "One dragonfly and a shot of whiskey that will be…" Naruto paused looking for the sheet with the prices on it but the man just put some money on the counter telling the blonde to keep the change.
Shikamaru grabbed Naruto's arm. "What took you so long? You should have turned to the recipe and gotten started right away."
"I didn't know on which page the recipe was."
"You didn't memorize all of the names and what they're made of?"
"I've only had this list for two days and I'm not that good with studying!" Naruto explained.
Shikamaru smirked. "It's okay. Kiba was worse. I'll help you out. I'll tell you which section to look in."
The blonde grinned. "Really? Wow, that's great. Thanks a lot!"
"Don't mention it. Just work hard."
"Okay, I will." Naruto smiled.
"Hey, can I get a minderaser and a jellybean." A woman asked.
Naruto raise an eyebrow before nodding. He got his list and started flipping before Shikamaru whispered to him. "They're both made with liqueur." The blonde nodded and smiled before turning to the section and finding the recipes easily.
The night was going great. Kiba was having the time of his life. He even found a pack of beer in the fridge. And it was only eleven. The night was still young. He only wished he could go out to a bar or something, but he was getting a week off. So this was the least he could do.
As he was about to put in another DVD he heard a car pull up in the drive way. Kiba scowled. It was eleven and the boss would never let Naruto off early…Unless the blonde quit. The brunette smirked. He walked over to the window. He just had to see the blondes face as he got out of the car. As he peaked through the curtains he noticed that the car that pulled into the driveway was not his old, dirty, used SUV. But it was a sleek, grey Roewe MG6. And that could only mean one thing. Naruto was a dead man.
Kiba dashed through the living room gathering everything and dumping it in the trash before he ran upstairs and got in the bed. Making sure to take off all his clothes but his boxers. Just like Naruto had instructed. As he lay under the covers he could hear Sasuke moving through the house. He got his cell and quickly called Naruto, but no one answered. No surprise there, it was a known fact that the boss didn't allow them to us their cells while on the job. Man that guy could be a real dick.
Just then the door to the bedroom opened. Kiba froze and stayed completely still. The covers were partially covering his face so hopefully Sasuke wouldn't notice. As the raven moved around the room, getting ready for bed, Kiba was panicing. In his head of course. This was not supposed to go like this!
Suddenly, he heard another door open then close. The bathroom. This was his chance. He could run away. There was no way he was sleeping with the guy. Just as he was about to get out of bed. His phone rang. He cursed under his breath before opening it. Hopefully Sasuke didn't hear. "Hey, what's going on? Why did you call me? I'm not allowed to use my cell remember."
"Yeah, I remember, just like how you remember what time you said Sasuke would be here! Well, apparently you were wrong, he's here now!"
"What!" The blonde's voice could be heard panicing. "Okay, just stay in bed. I'll get there as soon as I can!"
"What? You want me to sleep with your boyfriend?"
"If it means I won't be caught then yes. Sasuke always complains how I toss and turn in bed, so he likes to wrap his arms around to keep me from moving too much. I always end up cuddling with him in my sleep and-"
"Why the hell are you telling me all this?" Kiba loudly whispered into the receiver.
"Because this is what he's going to do and what you will have to do if I don't get there in time. So as I was saying, If Sasuke's really tired he'll fall asleep the second he hits the bed, but since it's so early today he probably won't. It'll take a lot of time for him to finally get to sleep but he won't wake you up if you're sleeping. He'll just run his hands through your hair or cuddle. Well that's pretty much it. Just don't fall asleep for real. You snore, and I don't."
"Yeah, yeah. I got it. Bye." Just as Kiba hung up the phone and set it on vibrate, he heard the shower turn off. Which made him wonder when it had turned on. He lay back down in his original position. Only peeking out at what was happening a little bit. He saw Sasuke exit with a towel around his waist. He headed for the dresser, which apparently was right in front of Kiba. The man picked out a pair of underwear as Kiba shut his eyes. He knew what was about to happen next. And even though he was gay, he doubted Naruto wouldn't mind if he got and eyeful of his boyfriend.
He could hear moving around, and before he knew it, the raven was in bed with him, wrapping his arms around him and nuzzling his neck. Kiba held his breath and Sasuke sat up a little and pulled the bangs of his blonde wig up. The brunette-made-blonde was sure he was found out, but to his surprise, the raven only put a soft kiss on his forehead and returned to cuddling.
Kiba paused. That was actually something sweet, and nice. Who knew the bastard could have had a good side. But then again, that good side was only for Naruto. That was when Kiba remembered Naruto's words. How he was supposed to act in bed. The brunette waited a few minutes before lazily turning around and cuddling with Sasuke. The moment he did that he could feel lips on his head and a hand replacing them. Stroking his blonde wig gently. On one side, this was freaking awkward. But on the other, this was really sweet. Kiba couldn't decide which he was feeling. It was awkward because this was Naruto's boyfriend, but then again he hadn't had a boyfriend in god knows how long. He let a soft sigh pass his lips as he cuddled closer. He might as well enjoy the feeling of having someone love him while it lasted.
Naruto was pissed. And it was not because Kiba was sleeping with his boyfriend. He was pissed because his boss was making him work an extra hour. Damn, Kiba was right. This guy was a jackass. But at least he was getting the hang of it. He didn't even need Shikamaru's help anymore. Which was good because Shikamaru was way too busy to help anymore.
"Hey, I'd like to make my order." A man with hair as black as Sasuke's came up to the bar.
The blonde nodded and grinned. "What'll it be?"
"Okay, you should probably write this down." The man waited for Naruto to get a piece of paper and a pen. "Okay so we will be having three shots of whiskey, nine beers, four Irish car bombs, a sour witch, a choking hazard, one red hot mama, two orgasms, actually make that three, along with one Tom and Jerry, a hairy virgin and three spider's kisses. No these are not all for just a few people, we are a big group, there are about twenty of us. Feel free to count when you come to give us our drinks. We will be in private party room number eight. Thank you and I hope you hurry with our drinks." With all that said the man walked away as the blonde just stood there, pen to paper thinking how someone could talk so fast. All he got from it was three shots of whiskey and nine beers.
"I've got it. You go take them their drinks." Shikamaru nodded. "Just get the whiskey and the beers ready. I'll do the rest."
"Do I need to carry those all at once?"
Shikamaru shrugged. "You'll have a tray."
Naruto sighed. When all the drinks were ready they miraculously fit in one large tray which he was carrying very carefully. He stood in front of private party room eight. He couldn't knock, and he couldn't open the door. His only choice was to wait for someone else to open it and pray that it didn't open outward. Or else he would have a colorfully variety of drinks poured all over him.
"Hey, Naruto right? How's your nose?" The blonde spun around to see the man who had hit him with the door. "Oh wow, it's really swollen, and it even started bruising."
Naruto's eyes widened. If it was really that bad Sasuke would be really worried. He would want to know a reason and if he doesn't get one that's good and made sense he'd do anything to find out what really happened.
"You should have waited for me, I got ice. Anyway, come, you're supposed to go in here right? Oh yeah! I'm Neji by the way."
The blonde nodded and Neji quickly let him in. The man hadn't lied. There were a lot of people. As Naruto set the drinks on the table, he felt a hand grope his ass. He jump and spun around quickly. He looked to Neji, who was seated next to one of the men and pouring him his drink. Naruto swallowed loudly and quickly excused himself.
After that, time seemed to pass rather fast. Before he knew it, it was time to head home. His first day of work was done. And boy was it a hassle. But it was probably easier for someone who knew all the recipes.
As he got into his clothes he noticed all the blood that covered the front of his shirt. It was a pretty big stain. Sasuke was defiantly not allowed to see that. He would probably make him go to the emergency room only to have them tell him he's fine. Naruto shook his head as he started to head out only to be stopped by a hand grabbing his shoulder. He turned to see his boss standing over him. He looked really creepy. "You're leaving?" Naruto swallowed and slowly nodded. "Okay, don't forget him."
The second those words left the man's mouth, a drunk, pretty old, man was thrown at him, and nearly pushed him over. Naruto looked at the man who was giggling for no apparent reason. Then he turned to face his boss and glared. "What am I supposed to do with him?"
"You're the one who got him drunk, you're the one to take him home."
"How did I-"
"You're a bartender. You gave him the drinks. Now take him home."
"Can't I just call a taxi?"
"They don't work this late. Now get going."
Naruto sighed and looked at the man that was now leaning on him. "Do you think you can tell me your address?"
The man just looked at him and giggles. "Your nose is weird."
The blonde glared at the man. "Fine then, will you give me your wallet so I can check for an address or do I have to take it?" The man paused and reached into his pocket, but he didn't take out his wallet instead he took out his cell phone. "You have a cell phone? Why didn't you call someone to get you?"
The man flipped open his cell and showed it to the blonde. There was a picture of a house. "Tha's where I live." The man slurred his words. "It a nice house. S' take me there. Bu don call ma wife. She tinks I'm out on bidness."
"Great." The blonde said sarcastically. "Do you have an address to go with the picture?"
"Yup." The man grinned.
Naruto stared at him for what seemed like minutes. "Are you going to tell me?"
"Sure"
"…Now would be nice!"
"Now what?"
Naruto slammed his head on a nearby wall. "Okay, can I see the picture of that nice house you got?" The man grinned and held up his phone. The blonde glared at the man and took his phone. He called the last number he had called him. It seemed like minutes before a woman answered the phone. "Yes, hello. Umm…I am a bartender from Sound and I am with your husband right now."
"Really. But I thought he was at a business meeting."
"Yes well, he wasn't. And I just-" Naruto suddenly froze as he felt a warm pair of lips latch onto his neck.
"Umm…excuse me? Are you still there?"
"Y…Yeah, I'm hear. Anyway, your husband is drunk so I…I was h…ah" The blonde let out a low moan as the drunk man that was currently latched onto his neck while he was talking to his wife found that one spot that made him moan.
"Oh my, he's drunk. Umm…Do you think I can give you the address and you can bring him over? I can't right know. It's the middle of the night and I can't leave the baby alone."
Naruto's eyes widened. This man was married and had a child. The blonde quickly pushed him away before speaking to the woman once more. "Yes, of course. Just give me the address and I'll bring him there."
What have I gotten myself into! Kiba screamed to himself. He was lying in bed with Sasuke. The raven had fallen asleep and was now cuddling with him. But what really bothered Kiba was that he had to go to the bathroom. Really bad. He shifted slightly only to have the arms that were around him tighten.
The brunette sighed and lay there motionless. He was starting to feel really stiff. Who would have known that a week off from work could be this hard to handle. This sucked. It was obvious that Naruto had done this on purpose. In fact it wouldn't have surprised him if he had planned for Sasuke to come home this early.
Suddenly Kiba's cell vibrated from under his pillow, startling him and causing him to jump. He quickly hit ignore on the cell and let out a soft sigh. He relaxed once more only now instead of the soft breath he had felt on his neck, he now felt a wet tongue. His eyes widened. "I didn't know you were awake." The raven spoke and Kiba froze. He was so screwed. Literally.
The raven latched onto Kiba's neck and the brunette let out a soft moan. NO! This isn't supposed to be happening. Not only will he kill me when he finds out I'm not Naruto, but he's Naruto's boyfriend. It's like I'm cheating on my best friend! This has to stop. Kiba focused on trying to get out of this situation.
As Sasuke paused for a moment, probably wondering why his blonde wasn't responding, there was a noise from downstairs. It sounded like the front door opening and closing. Kiba could feel tears of joy well up in his eyes. He came just in time. As Sasuke paused, hearing the noise as well, Kiba took his chance and sprinted downstairs. And sure enough, there was Naruto. "Quick, get undressed. Sasuke's awake and- Holy shit! What the hell happened to your nose?'
"Shut up and put your clothes on!" The blonde glared at him and he began undressing hiding his bloody shirt in between two couch cushions and his pants under the sofa. Within minutes he was in his boxers and Kiba was fully clothed and trying to rub off the make-up. Which reminded the blonde to take off his wig as well. He hid that in the bag, with his work clothes in it and handed it to Kiba.
"What the hell is going on here?" Sasuke's voice rang out through the whole living room. Naruto was about to turn around when Kiba shook his head "no." The blonde paused and stayed with his back to the raven. Sasuke glared even harder. "What is up with you today? It's like your hiding something. Why won't you look at me?"
"It's nothing Sasuke I just-"
"And why is Kiba here at this time of night?"
"Uh…Well, Sasuke you see, I was umm…" Kiba looked around him. "I need to pick up some…uh…"
"That's enough Kiba." The blonde sighed. "We tried to hide it but it's no use. I'm sorry. And Sasuke, please don't be too hard on Kiba. It wasn't all his fault."
Kiba stared at the blonde with wide eyes. There was no way he was going to just spill everything after everything the brunette had gone through that night. Naruto slowly turned to look at Sasuke. And the raven's eyes widened. "What did you do to your nose?" Before he knew it the raven was right in front of him, examining his nose. "I can't believe how swollen it is. Naruto, what did you do?"
"It was an accident. Kiba and I were fooling around and his hand just sprung out and hit me. That's why he came here tonight, to see how I was. And that's why I wouldn't look at you, even though I was awake the whole time."
Kiba stared at the blonde slack jawed. That was a really good excuse.
"So you did this to him." Kiba paused and looked up to see a very pissed raven towering over him. Kiba swallowed and nodded slowly.
"No, it wasn't that bad Sasuke. There wasn't even that much blood. Only a little. This is just because I didn't put any ice on it!" Naruto stepped in front of Kiba.
Sasuke shook his head and sighed. "Fine, you know what, whatever. It's late and we're supposed to be in bed." He turned to Naruto, looking at his nose. "You should have told me right away that this had happened. But right now just go to bed. We'll go to the doctor's tomorrow." He gave the blonde a light kiss on the nose and then turned to glare at Kiba. "And you! Just consider yourself lucky this wasn't anything worse!"
Kiba sighed and thanked the blonde. Sasuke shook his head and decided to head back to bed. As he was on his way he noticed something sticking out in between two of the couch cushions. He raised a brow and pulled the thing out. His eyes widened and he looked to Naruto. The blonde swallowed loudly. "Uh…That's from when I spilled a brownish drink all over myself."
"You call this only a little blood?" Sasuke yelled. Kiba yelped and made a run for it. Yelling an "It wasn't my fault!" as he did so. The raven bawled his fists as he started after the brunette.
"Wait, Sasuke it really wasn't his fault." The blonde yelled after him. "Sasuke! Will you please listen to me?" Naruto let out a frustrated sigh. "You know what, fine! Do whatever you want. I had a long day today so I'm going to bed. Good fucking night!" The blonde yelled and headed up to his room. Shutting and locking the door. All he wanted now was to sleep.
Wow I wrote a lot. Twelve pages, man! Sorry it's so long. I'll try and shorten the next chapter. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it and PLEASE REVIEW!
