Chapter 2
Naruto and Sasuke walked to the super market not far from the apartment complex after they said bye to Gaara. They walked in silence, silence not like the silences between Naruto and Gaara, but a silence that was made to be in between two people that didn't like each other.
"So, nice weather, huh?" Naruto tried to make light conversation, hoping that Sasuke would just go with it.
"Yea, but what do you expect? It's spring." Sasuke looked bored and annoyed, giving Naruto a look that said 'shut up', and that's what Naruto did.
The blond almost jumped with joy once the store came in view. His pace quickened and he found it easier to talk now that he knew they wouldn't have to talk much longer. "So, what would you like to get?"
"Chips," Sasuke led the way into the store and straight to chip aisle.
"Just go to the register when you find some you want, I'll pay for them, I'm going to find the candy." Naruto turned after the raven haired boy gave a curt nod. Naruto soon found himself surrounded by chocolate and gummies and licorice. He picked out just two things, a bag of Skittles and a lollipop. He found Sasuke at the self-checkout after a few seconds.
"Ew, Doritos?" The blond wasn't too keen on the chips but he knew that if he ate one, he couldn't resist another. He took the bag out of Sasuke's hand and paid for their things.
On the way to Naruto's apartment Sasuke couldn't help to feel suspicious, "Where is it that you live?"
"Not far, just a few more blocks, in that apartment complex." Naruto turned his head to look at the other teen and pointed his thumb at the building.
Great, just what I thought. Sasuke rambled on in his head. Just my luck…
The two were silent again, going up the stairs to the second floor to apartment B. "Here we are," Naruto called out, "Home, sweet home." He started digging in his pocket for his keys, shifting to put the grocery bag and his school bag on the floor.
"Do you know who any of your neighbors are?" Sasuke looked hard at the blond for a second, surprising Naruto.
"No, I've only been here five days now. Oh, but I saw a blond man come out of that apartment." He pointed over to apartment A. "It was weird, he didn't even say 'hi'."
Sasuke grumbled something under his breath, so low that Naruto couldn't hear, the blond asked his to repeat what he said but he told him that he hadn't said a thing.
A moment later, they were standing inside Naruto's apartment. It was bright and cheery, remind Sasuke of the person standing in front of him. Naruto led Sasuke into the living room and set the bag of groceries and his school bag on the table in front of the couch. There was a window on the other side of the wall and Naruto opened the blinds to let the sun in. He motioned for Sasuke to take a seat on the off white puffy couch and sat next to him, grabbing his bag as he did. From said bag, he pulled out a notebook and a couple textbooks.
"Ready to get started?" Naruto looked at the other and Sasuke nodded in agreement.
It was now 7 p.m. and the boys where just barely finishing studying. They had agreed to go over the most important parts of the whole course to prepare for finals. Naruto almost passed out with exhaustion. "Yay, television time," he meant to sound excited but it came out more like a groan of a dying person. He laid his head on the table, while he sat cross legged under it. He reached for the remote to turn it on and perked up just a bit when he saw his favorite show come on. "Do you like this show?" the blond asked as he reached for his lollipop.
"Not in particular," Sasuke sounded as exhausted as Naruto. "But then again, I have only seen it twice." He was staring at the TV blankly until a sucking noise came out of nowhere. He glanced over towards Naruto just to see the boy sucking on a lollipop quite enthusiastically. The dark haired teen watched intensely without realization, his eyes glazing over. He couldn't sit here any longer, he knew he was going to crack. "I should get going," he then proceeded to pack his things.
When all that Naruto could say was "Uhm" while his eyes closed, Sasuke took the liberty of picking the blond up and carrying him to his bed, princess style, of course. "Hmm… Sasuke," the blond cracked one eye open to see the raven hovering over him, he was laying him down into Naruto's bed.
"Just go to bed, I'll see you tomorrow." He started to turn away when he felt a tug on his shirt. Naruto's hand was grasping to the white shirt, his eyes were watery, his cheeks held a subtle sign of blush.
"Sasuke…" He leaned forward mouth slightly open.
Sasuke blushed a little as he saw Naruto leaning in. He gulped and opened his mouth ever so slightly, ready and waiting. He didn't know why he was accepting what was happening, may be the exhaustion taking over. But in the back of his head, conscious thought met dreams and all he knew was that it felt right, not forced. He almost wanted this to happen. His eyes fluttered shut, fully aware of what was going to happen, but when nothing came his eyes opened.
"I want my lollipop" Naruto frowned, confused at what Sasuke was doing. The male looked as though he was almost falling asleep right there, with his eyes closed. After Naruto's comment, Sasuke's eyes widened and he blushed ferociously.
The raven said nothing as he stormed out of the apartment. He was angry with Naruto, how could he be so dense? No, it was me who was dense, he thought to himself of course, why would he want to kiss me? Sasuke groaned as he pushed away from the door and headed down stairs, not knowing where his feet were taking him, but he did know that it had to be where the lights and music could consume his worries and thoughts and leave him raw with bliss.
Naruto was left half dazed, staring at the door way that Sasuke had rushed out of just moments ago. What the heck was that about? He sighed and left it at that, he'll have to make it up to Sasuke tomorrow, somehow. For now, he didn't want to think, he just wanted to feel peaceful and warm under the blankets of his bed. He couldn't help but feel like something was missing, just one puzzle piece was lost and he couldn't find it. He let out another sigh and settled into the sheets, letting his body succumb to sleep.
"Seriously?"
"Seriously serious."
"Ah, okay, fine. I better get those ten dollars though."
Everyone gagged when Kiba put the caterpillar in his mouth and laughed when he looked like he was going to puke.
"It's crawling!" He almost cried.
"You have to swallow it too, that was the bet," Gaara sneered at the brunet.
Kiba's face took on a pained expression and his Adam's apple bobbed, signifying that he had, indeed swallowed the critter. He then opened his mouth wide, proving to Gaara that it was done. Gaara threw a ten dollar bill at him and grinned.
"Didn't think you had it in you, bastard," Gaara looked up to see a familiar blond jogging towards them. "Naruto, you just missed the most hilarious thing," the red head proceeded to tell Naruto about the grossest thing Kiba has ever done.
"Ew! No girl's going to want to kiss you, dude!" Naruto laughed as Kiba frowned. "Aw, don't be sad, ten dollars, almost rich." Naruto laughed even harder, making Kiba blush and his frown turned to a hard glare.
The group was pretty normal for a bunch of seniors, just laughing having a great time. They hadn't a care in the world right now, innocent and unknowing. Some of them might not get the chance to see each other after graduation but of course they could still talk over the phone or internet. Knowing this, Naruto made sure to get to know his new friends better.
"So, Naruto," Hinata started, "I didn't have the time to ask you last week but, why did you get transferred from your last school?"
Naruto stopped grinning and looked at the girl. He wasn't exactly the type to spill all his secrets to people he's only known for a week.
"Yea, how come? You get expelled or something?" Kiba laughed, jokingly. Of course, he didn't mean it to sound harsh, but then again he didn't know the reason why it did sound harsh to Naruto.
"I don't want to talk about it." Naruto looked down, suddenly feeling distant from his friends.
Kiba noticed that it was a touchy subject the very instant he said 'expelled'. The blond had flinched as the word passed his lips. "Ah, so did you catch the new episode last night?" He wanted to change the subject quickly, "I only got to see half of it." He lied so that the teen could talk about something else other than his past.
Naruto almost instantly brightened "Yea! It was awesome," he explained in full detail the new episode of their favorite show to Kiba. Once finished, he suddenly noticed that Sasuke was not with the group. "Where's Uchiha?"
Almost everyone looked around signifying that they hadn't noticed.
"He's usually so quiet that we don't even know when he is here." Temari said, feeling like a bad friend.
"Don't worry about him, he's probably in the library reading." Gaara said coolly, he was one of the few that didn't look around at the mention of Sasuke.
Naruto knew that they haven't talked much in a week and Sasuke hadn't come over to tutor him. He knew that at some time or another he was going to have to talk to him to make up. But the problem was that he didn't know why the raven wasn't talking to him in the first place. Ever since the night that Sasuke tutored him, they have been awkward. Maybe he doesn't like me after all. Naruto sighed, getting the attention of his friends. "I'm going to go talk to him," he was off, in the direction of the library. He swung the door open, looking left to right, searching. It wasn't until he got to the back of the building that he found him.
In the dark corner of the library, leaning up against the wall of books was a boy. He had blond hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. He was wearing the uniform quite scandalously: his white button up shirt was open all the way, his black slacks were opened from the fly, revealing grey boxers. His legs were bent as though it was hard to stand and they were wrapped around a leg. Sasuke's leg. Its knee bent, supporting the boy's weight. He had one hand to the side of the blond's head, and leaning in, inches from his face. Her face that was in the grasp of Sasuke's other hand.
The boy was blushing profusely and panting like he had just run a marathon. Sasuke was cool as ice as he glanced Naruto's way, not bothering to turn his head, just his eyes. "What do you want, Naruto? I'm busy." He did turn his head then, to gauge the other blond's reaction.
Naruto broke out in a cold sweat and his chest grew tight. "N-no, I'll uh, I'll talk to you later about it." He turned to leave and would have dashed from the horrifying scene had Sasuke not used the most sultry voice he could muster to call to him.
"Whatever you need to say, just say it." He almost purred as the obvious freshman twitched and whined. Sasuke then dropped the little blond and turned to Naruto, buttoning up his shirt. "What do you want."
Naruto noticed that the other blond had crumpled to the floor and glared at him, grasping the collar of his shirt. "W-well, I just notice that we haven't talked in a week, and I wanted to talk to you to see if I did something wrong." He hoped that Sasuke would talk to him about why he was being ignored.
Sasuke let out a frustrated sigh. He knew that Naruto would be more than willing to make up and act like nothing happened, he knew this day was coming. "You didn't do anything, it was me." Sasuke admitted in a huff. "Sorry about that," When it came to Naruto, he was utterly defeated. Those big blue eyes were like none other, he couldn't lie or be mean.
"Let's go to class," Sasuke said after the bell rung.
Naruto smiled earnestly, forgetting about the freshman in the corner, "Yea!" He followed Sasuke out of the library and didn't remember the boy until they were seated in class. He didn't particularly want to ask Sasuke about it, putting his nose in his personal life sounded like another round of being ignored, so he just left it alone. He remembered the scene he witnessed when he first found them and almost wished that had been him in Sasuke's arms rather than some other boy, but Naruto laughed at his conscious and started up conversation with Gaara and Sasuke.
It was Saturday and Naruto was barely waking up at 11a.m. when he got a text from Kiba.
'Morning, sunshine! Gaara and I came up with something fun to do today!'
To which, Naruto replied:
'What could possibly be more fun than lazing around the house by myself? Lol'
A minute later his phone vibrated with another message from Kiba.
'Let's get the band back together and have a party!'
At first, Naruto just smiled at the childhood memories but then realized that it was actually an awesome idea.
'Count me in! Who's house?'
It didn't take Kiba long to reply back to Naruto an address and a note saying that it was his house address.
An hour later, Naruto arrived. He drove his car up the driveway, then did a three point turn to turn around and park next to the sidewalk.
"Yo, dude! I didn't know you had a car," Kiba and Gaara were in the garage. Kiba's drum set was in the corner of the garage and there was a large space that was covered in blanked and pillows to make their future guests comfortable.
"Believe it! I got it on my 16th birthday, saved all my money up for a used one, my treat to myself," Naruto laughed. He noticed that there was a bass guitar on a stand next to the drums and looked at Gaara, "Bass guitar? That's awesome, it suits you."
"Thanks," Gaara smiled and lightly blushed.
"Oh, I forgot," he ran back to his car and opened the door to the back seat and rummaged around a bit before he extracted an electric guitar. It was black and bright yellow. There were a few band stickers on the back and the shoulder strap had five metal spikes in a row where it would rest on Naruto's shoulder.
"Whoa," Kiba looked stunned, "That's one beast guitar. Where the heck did you get that?"
"You know, foster parents aren't all good for nothing," he laughed and winked.
The three of them walked into the garage. "My parents aren't home so we can play as loud as we want. Well, till 10 at least."
"Oh, one question," Naruto started, "Do you want me to sing in English or Japanese?"
"You know Japanese?" Gaara asked, stunned.
"Fluent," Naruto laughed.
"Whatever suits you, I guess," Kiba sat behind the drums.
For four hours the three practiced and were surprised that they sounded almost official. As the guests arrived, Kiba brought out snacks, soda, and water. They waited until everyone they had invited arrived, and Naruto noticed Sasuke walk up the driveway, he suddenly felt nervous.
"You guys ready?" Kiba sat behind his drums.
That's when Naruto noticed that they were all nervous of what their friend would think. The blond adjusted his microphone, a quick sound check on his guitar, and gave a shaky nod.
Gaara did his own sound check and gave an affirmative noise to Kiba who gave the count off with his drum sticks.
Can't turn back now Naruto thought quickly as he drew in a breath.
Natsu no atsusa de
Ore wa kusa no naka ni anata o mitsuketa
Kumo o miagete
Anata ga mite dono yō ni heiwa-tekina
Atama ga kurakurasuru
Haru kaze ga tachikomeru
Ore ga shitte iru…
Subete ga kanpekidesu.
Ima wa akida
Tatchi wa watashi no kuchibiru kara kiete iru
Anata no kao ga chikaku ni nokoru
Issho ni shiawase
Anata wa, watashi ni tazuneta
Anata wa watashi o aishiteimasu ka?
Aishiteimasu ka?
Naruto started to play solo on his guitar as he broke the lyrics. He didn't know where the lyrics were coming from, they just felt right. He could feel Sasuke's eyes on him and he tried not to let his concentration falter.
Atama ga kurakurasuru
Haru muchūde
Ore wa anata o mite
Watashitachiha shibafu ni yokotawatte ita to shite
Ore wa anata no mimi ni sasayaku
Yō ni sotto ore wa dekirudake
Ore wa anata o aishite
Aishite
Atama ga kurakurasuru
Haru kaze ga tachikomeru
Ore ga shitte iru…
Subete ga kanpekidesu.
Then, it was Kiba's turn to take it away before the last verse, like the planned. Right when he was done, Naruto continued.
Bara wa karete mimashou ikenai
Egao ga fēdo sa seru ikenai
Ore wa manzoku shite iru shitte iru dake sa se
Sore wa anata ga hitsuyō to suru ai no baai
Watashi wa anata ni subete o ataerudeshou
Ataerudeshou
Atama ga kurakurasuru
Haru kaze ga tachikomeru
Ore ga shitte iru…
Subete ga kanpekidesu.
The three smiled at each other when they finished and laughed at how unbelievable they sounded. The crowd had grown since they started playing, now Kiba's neighbors gathered in the garage and outside of it too, they all cheered happily, some of the girls screeching.
Naruto noticed Sasuke looking at him, astonished. He then smiled and clapped while looking straight at Naruto. Naruto felt warmth in his chest but blamed it on how tired he was now, after all that exertion.
Later that night, Gaara and Kiba asked Naruto what he was singing, and he told them it was something like this:
In the summer heat
I found you in the grass
Gazing up at the clouds
How peaceful you looked
My head is spinning
A spring breeze rolls in
I know
Everything is perfect now
Now its fall
Your touch fading from my lips
Happy together
You asked me then
Do you love me?
Love me?
My head is spinning
I look at you
As we lay in the grass
I whisper in your ear
As softly as I can
I love you
Love you
My head is spinning
A spring breeze rolls in
I know
Everything is perfect now
Don't let this rose wither
Don't let the smiles fade
Just let me know you're happy
If its love that you need
I'll give it to you
All to you
My head is spinning
A spring breeze rolls in
I know
Everything is perfect now.
Naruto grinned as he told them, the lyrics he made up on the spot sounded genius now, and Gaara and Kiba agreed. Just then, a group of girls swarmed them, asking for their numbers and their names. It was weird because they were girls from their school, which they've seen before but didn't really know. Naruto worked his way out of the girls' reach and walked over to Sasuke.
"Hey, how'd you like the show?" he grinned.
"Not bad at all, but I think the crowd wants an encore." He tossed Naruto a water bottle.
Naruto caught it and realized that he was pretty sweaty. "Ew, I stink." He stuck his tongue out and winked.
Sasuke chuckled, "Yea you do." The blond had stood right next to him, leaning against the wall of the garage, getting closer to Sasuke little by little. The raven could smell what normal people would call disgusting but Sasuke found it highly attractive as it smelled sweet and very much like a smell only Naruto could pull off. Sasuke noticed his growing desire for the blond as he grew closer, his head felt fuzzy.
All of a sudden, Naruto was surrounded again by at least five girls asking for his number. Naruto backed into the wall as the advanced.
"Ooh, he's so cute!" One said
"All sweaty like that, mm I'd like to lick him off." Another one giggled.
It seemed that they no longer just wanted Naruto's number. Naruto looked over at Sasuke for help, if anyone knew how to control rabid fan girls, it would be Sasuke.
Sasuke strode over and laced his arm around Naruto's waist while the other took his chin and led it towards his own face. Right as their lips were mere centimeters apart, Sasuke looked over at the girls, "Sorry, he's taken." He left it as simple as that.
The girls were first extremely shocked, but then started whispering that the display was the most erotic thing they've ever seen. "Omigod, Sasuke Uchiha? So hot!" They left the garage whispering and blushing to themselves.
Naruto couldn't breathe, Sasuke almost kissed him. Sasuke was touching him. He realized that he didn't mind it. And that thought alone was one that brought him back to reality. He pulled out of Sasuke's grasp, "Uh, thanks for that." He blushed and scratched the back of his head. He knew Sasuke was only doing that to get rid of the girls… Right? Oh, god. Stop it Naruto, you're making a fool of yourself. He laughed nervously then groaned as he realized that he sounded even more on edge now.
"No problem," Sasuke replied coldly, then in a more natural tone said, "I have to go to the bathroom, be right back." Then he was gone.
"So, Naruto," Kiba called, "What was all that with Sasuke? I noticed that you guys were making out." He waggled his eyebrows.
Naruto blushed almost crimson at that. "Were not! Our lips didn't even touch!"
"I bet you wish they did!" Kiba yelled and their friends rolled their eyes at the banter.
"Shut up!" Naruto took a swing at Kiba but the brunet dogged it and laughed playfully.
"Okay, okay." Kiba said making Naruto calm down a bit. "When's the wedding?" Kiba laughed again at Naruto who was running towards him once more.
The boys wrestled a bit on the ground until they were both exhausted laughing and rolling on the lawn. Today was the most fun Naruto has had in a while, he mentally thanked the brunet and red head teens for coming up with the idea.
"Oi," Gaara called, "You both stink of sweat and testosterone. I think you need to be rinsed off."
The two other teens heard the grin in his tone, so they looked up to find him standing only a few feet away with a hose in his hands. He pressed the handle on the head of the hose to make water gush out and soak a surprised Naruto and Kiba. They looked at each other and silently decided that a team up was in order. They both caught some water in their mouths and held in it.
"No… No, no, no, no!" Gaara went running when he noticed what they were planning. By then, it was too late and both of the other teens had soaked him. "Ugh, this is so-o disgusting."
"So, rinse off," Naruto had the hose that Gaara had dropped running away in his hand, in a second water had come rushing out and landed on a defeated Gaara. Kiba and Naruto laughed until they were holding their stomachs, and then some more. Gaara had given up trying to keep a straight face and gave into the laughter himself.
The guests had plugged in one of their iPods to the sound system and now the garage was blasting electro/house music. One of Naruto's favorite songs had come on so he went back into the garage and pulled out a strobe light that he had brought with him. The guests cheered as it turned on and all of them became one jumping mass of pure happiness and bliss.
Naruto found Sasuke in the crowd and asked him with his eyes if he would like to dance. Sasuke smiled and let himself go with the beat. The two were looking at each other, laughing, and doing silly moves. Naruto did a tecktonik routine that his old friend taught him and Sasuke seemed to like it. When the bass dropped, all of their hands went up and it was like magic. There was no way that this night could get any better. Naruto soon found himself full with such immense joy, he almost cried. Someone had found a package of silver sequins and threw them into the air over the crowd from a chair. As they floated to the ground, Naruto closed his eyes, savoring this feeling. He didn't need drugs or alcohol to make him feel happy and complete, he was sober and was grateful that he would, in fact, remember this moment in the morning. Not that a drink or tow wouldn't hurt sometime, just not now.
The song changed to another one of Naruto's favorites: Undertaker by Wolfgang Gartner. Everyone jumped low at first, going with the tempo of the song, after a while, everyone was pumping their fists in the air. The base dropped, and Naruto let out a shout, he couldn't help it. The feeling of freedom and pure ecstasy still held him firm.
By the end of the night, almost everyone was exhausted. Some people had invited more friends over to join the party so the mob had grown immensely. The garage was full once more. Sofi Needs a Ladder by Deadmau5 had come on, but Naruto was spent. He sat down on the couch inside Kiba's house. He relaxed and took out the water he had brought with him.
"Hey, mind if I sit next to you?" He recognized Sasuke by his voice now.
"Nah," Naruto patted the seat right next to him, "Could use some company." He smiled, exhaustedly. "Ah, man. I'm so glad that tomorrow's Sunday." Naruto almost laughed when he heard the lyrics of the song 'I could be your new favorite waste of time and you'll be mine, all I want is your attention…' Naruto sung with the song quietly.
"What was that?" Sasuke asked.
"Ah, nothing," Naruto smiled. His stomach growled.
Sasuke laughed at Naruto's honest stomach. "C'mon, let's find some real food around this place."
Naruto got up with him, holding his tongue when he thought that it might be rude to just take food. Then he realized that it was Kiba, and no longer cared. He opened the fridge and saw nothing of interest, so he went to the cupboard and saw that he had some instant ramen. He took the Cup Noodles over to the water dispenser and twisted the red handle, pouring hot water into the cup. "Do you want one?" Naruto asked.
"Nah, I'm good for now." He watched Naruto as he searched for the silverware drawer and pulled out a fork once he found it. he placed the fork over the top to keep the half opened paper lid down to capture the heat.
"And now, we wait." Naruto laughed when he heard Heaven by DJ Sammy & Yanou come on and all the girls shouted with joy as they sung along. He could picture everyone with their hands up in euphoria. "How do you like the party?"
Sasuke smiled, "Best one, yet. It's just my type of thing." He loved the feel of heat surrounding him, the lights dancing over his skin as he lets his worries go, drifting off to nothingness in the crowd.
Naruto was actually surprised when he heard that Sasuke liked it. he didn't picture the raven as a party-goer.
"But, the most enjoyable part of this party was most admittedly your band. What's it called?" Sasuke put his elbow on the counter in front of him.
"Actually, we haven't come up with a name…" Then Naruto knew what he wanted to name it. "Amai-on. That's what the name of our band is." Naruto grinned ear to ear.
"Which means," Sasuke drew out the s at the end, waiting for a response.
"Sweet sound." Naruto smiled. As if their timing couldn't get any better, Kiba led Gaara into the kitchen.
"Hey, guys," Kiba was sweating once more. "What's up?" Both the brunet and the red head took seats on the stools under the island in the kitchen.
"Amai-on." Naruto said.
"What-a-what?" Kiba stammered confused.
"That should be the name of our band."
"What does it mean?" Gaara liked the sound of it, but he wouldn't name a band that if he didn't know what it meant.
"Sweet sound."
"Oh, that sounds good to me," Kiba smiled and looked at Gaara who nodded, smiling. "I see that you helped yourself to the contents of my cupboard, Naruto." Kiba glared.
"So? Got a problem with that?" Naruto picked up the fork and some noodles from the cup and slurped them loudly, all while glaring back at Kiba.
Kiba sighed, "Oh well, should have known better than to invite a glutton like Naruto over to my house." Kiba failed at trying to keep a straight face as he burst out with laughter which was met with laughter from Naruto as well.
Sasuke observed his friends with a smile. "Well, I should go, I have a long walk ahead of me."
"Oh, wait!" Naruto said, almost choking on his noodles, "I can give you and Gaara a ride."
"Really? You have a car?" Sasuke stopped in his tracks. He wasn't obese but he didn't thoroughly enjoy walking. "In that case, I'll wait for you."
The music stopped playing after a few minutes of them talking in the kitchen. They all looked at the door that led to the garage and back at each other, all thinking the same thing. Kiba led the others to the door and opened it, curiously. Ino was holding her iPod in one hand, looking at it.
"Well, looks like it died, but everyone looks beat anyways." She smiled at the four males in the door, "I'll be taking my leave now, thanks for the party! And you guys better play soon again," She addressed Kiba, Naruto, and Gaara.
Everyone else in the garage gave tired nods, waves, and thanks. Most of them took care of their own trash, much to Kiba's approval. As for the rest of the trash, the four friends cleaned it up in no time and put the dirty dishes in the sink. Kiba was glad that they had used more paper plates and bowls rather than dishes, so he didn't have much to wash. The brunet's three friends started to wash what little dishes were there but Kiba just shooed them off.
"You guys must be exhausted, go on home and rest up," he smiled.
With reluctance, the others left. Waving back to Kiba as they walked down the driveway. Gaara and Naruto put their guitars in the back as Sasuke slid into the passenger seat. The ride home was a short and quiet one. The only noise was that of Gaara giving directions to his house. Once they arrived, he unbuckled his seat belt and grabbed his guitar in its case.
"See you guys at school." He smiled tiredly and turned around to walk to the door.
"Okay, Sasuke. Where to?" Naruto asked.
Sasuke didn't really want the other male to know where he lived so he just settled for, "Can I spend the night at your apartment?"
"Uh, I guess it's cool." The blond blushed, and became more awake with excitement.
They came up to the parking garage next to the complex and they both got out. Naruto grabbed his guitar and led Sasuke up to his apartment. When he unlocked the door he said, "I don't really have a futon or an air mattress. But there is the couch, which is if you don't want to share a bed." Naruto hadn't intended to give his bed as an option but he knew it was too late when his lips wouldn't stop moving.
"Er, I think I rather sleep on a bed than a couch," Sasuke automatically walked to Naruto's room.
"Ah… okay then." Naruto followed. "I think I'm going to take a shower before bed though, so make yourself comfortable, I'll be right back." Naruto set his guitar on its stand and grabbed a towel before rushing off to the bathroom. Naruto stepped onto the cold tile of the shower and turned the knobs. The cold water woke him up and calmed him down, and then the warm water relaxed him.
After a while of just standing in the shower, letting the water cascade over his body, Naruto knew he could avoid the other teen all night, so he shut off the water and stepped out, grabbing the towel. He ruffled his hair with the towel and wrapped the cloth around his waist; he forgot to bring pajamas in with him. The blond walked rather awkwardly back to his room, where Sasuke was already in the bed, lying with his face away from the door. Naruto couldn't tell if he was asleep already, but decided that either way he'd have to get changed quickly.
As Naruto stood, with the towel at his feet and his boxers in his hands, leaning over to get them around his feet, Sasuke stirred. The dark haired teen rolled over to face Naruto. Naruto's breath hitched and his heart beat quickened with the excitement and dread of being caught changing. He soon realized that Sasuke's eyes were closed, and he could he the male snoring softly.
The blond let out a breath that he didn't know he was holding and finished the task of getting his boxers on quickly, and climbed into bed. He was totally and utterly exhausted from the day. Naruto knew that his eyes couldn't stay open much longer and decided to succumb to the deep sleep that took over his body. Just before unconsciousness hit, he thought he heard Sasuke mumble something that sounded like his name in his ear.
Thanks for reading :3 and yes, i absolutely heart raves
