Chapter 2

Meeting Uzumaki Naruto was not love at first sight, that much was for certain. It wasn't a second sight or third sight for that matter either. Sasuke groaned, wanting to forget the last 24 hours ever happened. He tried to become comfortable on the black leather couch and pay attention to anything other than his persistent thoughts. Stuffing his face into a pillow in embarrassment and anger as he remembered the details that took place. Sasuke's white iPhone dinged with an incoming message from an unknown number.

"Up to hang out tonight?" -NU

Sasuke did not give out his number freely. It was a part of keeping a low profile and his phone was mainly used for an emergency. Seeing it was not anyone from the pack and this unknown bastard was stupid enough to be friendly made Sasuke suspicious.

"Who are you?" -SU

"Im Batman" -NU

Sasuke was about to block this number, there was a special event that took place in Armageddon for prank callers.

"Prank texts are annoying and show you don't have a life. Im going to block you now" -SU

"WAIT! It's Naruto. Forget me already? I am the hot guy with an awesome smile. I was just wondering if you wanted tg on a d8?" -NU

Oh god. How could he not forget this moron? And there was no way he was going anywhere with him.

"How did you get my number?" -SU

"Ill tell you when we c each other. So how about that d8?" -NU

"No" -SU

"Please. I promise you won't regret it!" -NU

Sasuke was already regretting it.

"No. And Im blocking you" -SU

"Come on! Is there anything I can do? And why?" -NU

"Actually...yes. Because youre a stalker" -SU

"Name it and Ill do it!" -NU

"Delete my contact" -SU

"Was last night really that bad?" -NU

The phone bounced as it was tossed to the other side of the couch. Sasuke did not want to talk to Naruto anymore, just like how he didn't want to talk to him last night.

Sasuke walked towards his frequented bar, just wanting a nice coke with rum. A drink would hit the spot after the bad day he had. It didn't matter that he was only 19, Itachi owned the place and Sasuke worked there sometimes on night shifts. Plus, being a werewolf had its perks, you aged slower than humans. Sasuke chuckled, he looked more like a vampire than a werewolf and his attitude did not exactly scream werewolf stereotype. Many times old drunks who didn't particularly like pasties would pick fights with him. But with a quick growl and a warning snap to the slow reacting exposed throat, had even the toughest looking alpha running from Sasuke.

Crossing the damp sidewalk, Sasuke quickly jogged down the stairs by twos and stopped at the hidden front door. Kisame looked up from identifying all the unknown humans and werewolves to see who cut the line.

"And just who do yo- oh, hey Squirt." Kisame's face split into a grin as Sasuke glared.

Kisame was a part of the family, also unbelievably in Sasukes opinion, in a relationship with Itachi. Blue inky tattoos covered everything, even his face, making his skin appear blue from afar. His teeth were pointed from his first transformation. He had clenched his teeth too hard and most of them cracked. To save what was left, the dentist sanded down the cracked teeth and put a covering over them. His teeth were supposed to fall out and then grow back to normal after his next transformation. But when his wolf teeth fell out and his human teeth reappeared to their pointy state, Kisame just accepted it.

"Don't call me that, your obsession with anything water isn't normal Kisame."

"Sorry, Squirt. Old habits die hard," Kisame ignored the impatient people waiting in line. "Go ahead inside, your brother probably wants to see you."

"Hn, like I need your permission. And again, don't call me that." Sasuke countered and pushed past Kisame into his pack's bar.

He was instantly met with a face full of base and the sight of grinding bodies. Itachi's bar wasn't exactly the average bar. Of course it had drinks, dancing and the slut in the corner. But it was more centered around the need of werewolves. First of all, there was plenty of liquor, but absolutely no beer was served. No exceptions, it poisoned werewolves. Of course it made no sense to Sasuke, it was all alcohol at the end of the day. But being half human, half wolf left a person with some really strange eating and drinking rules. Second, seating was never just a table for two, a family of werewolves was never just two people. If it was, it wouldn't be for long. Werewolves are social creatures by nature, making your pack bigger, meant stronger, meant safer. Though that statement did not exactly include the Uchiha pack, from what Sasuke understood, Itachi liked to keep the pack well under control and introducing loners to the pack was rare.

Sasuke walked along the wall until finally reaching the back of the building where his brother was serving drinks. Moving behind the bar, Sasuke started making his rum with coke. Itachi was not going to do it when Sasuke had perfectly functioning hands. Watching humans interact was also a part of the bar, if they knew about werewolves, they were able to come in. That was Kisame's job along with the regular duties of a security guard.

"Good evening Sasuke." Itachi finally said after helping a female customer with running eyes and a flirtatious smile. Sasuke never understood how females did not notice the feeling of a hole being burned into the back of their skull. It was from a certain tattooed alpha right outside the door who always kept an extra eye on Itachi. A blonde male walked up to the bar and sat down, Sasuke didn't give him a second glance.

"Good evening Itachi, better tell your boyfriend to stop being so overprotective. It's suffocating."

"Excuse me." Blondie waited not even a minute before saying with impatience.

Itachi's eyes lit up with mischief while still managing to look bored. "Its because of a bet I made with him. Whoever gets the most phone numbers by tonight wins." Itachi and Kisame both had a good number of people who wanted them, so Sasuke knew it was a running tally. "We're both alphas, so it's sometimes hard to decide who tops in be-"

"Shut up!" Sasuke clasped his hands over his ears and hummed for good measure. He absolutely couldn't take any details of Itachi's sex life, it was just way too weird to think about. He waited until Itachi rolled his eyes and helped the next customer before slowly lowering his hands.

"Oy! Spikey!" And with that, Blondie just crossed the fucking line.

Sasuke turned around to the blonde customer, eyes yellow and canines bared, taking note of the orange v-neck shirt and haircut that looked like it was done with some rusty kitchen scissors. But somehow the style, if you could call it that, looked good. /Pity all that is wasted and something so unintelligent/. Sasuke pushed his wolf down.

"You must have ordered a death wish," Sasuke said, remembering Itachi's bartender lessons he barely spitting out a mangled "sir."

The blonde stared at Sasuke and the beta subtly looked around for his brother for backup, only to now inconveniently notice that Itachi somehow vanished.

"Wow, uh," Blondie scratched his head and smiled sheepishly. "Sorry thought you were human."

Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "And whats that got to do with you acting like a total ass?" Now Blondie really looked shell shocked, /that just means he is probably another arrogant alpha,/ Sasuke's wolf huffed /unworthy/. "You know what? Don't answer that, just place an order to some other bartender, I don't work here right now." Sasuke lifted his drink and moved it through the air, showing it off, just to taunt the jerk. "And realize that this place serves underworld educated humans as well idiot."

The blonde gaped at Sasuke now, not sure what to do. No one had really ever talked to him like that before, well, at least no one outside his pack. But this cutie had spunk, it caught his attention and wasn't letting go.

"We started out on the wrong foot. Why don't we start over? My name is Uzumaki Naruto."

"No thanks, I already know my opinion of you."

"Oh? And what do you already know?" Interested, Naruto leaned closer to Sasuke.

"I know that I don't like you." Replied Sasuke voice monotone and face blank, then he walked away, finishing off his drink. Maybe loosening up and dancing with a stranger would help him feel better. Or maybe that was the alcohol talking, either way Sasuke didn't care. Today was bad enough to let the drinks keep pouring and the complements to keep coming.

Naruto watched Sasuke leave, aroused and still drinkless.

"My apologies for my little brother. He has just ended his relationship and it didn't go well." Itachi handed Naruto the usual drink before grabbing a white washcloth, beginning to wipe condensation marks off his bar.

"Boy or girl?"

Itachi stopped cleaning the counter and looked straight into Narutos eyes, unspoken threats laying beneath his cool personality.

"Boy."

Naruto felt like dancing, "that sucks." Ha, absolutely sucks for the guy Sasuke broke up with that is.

Itachi pinched the bridge of his nose. "Don't even try it Naruto."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Well I do, so don't even think about it."

Naruto was just about to reply when Kakashi sat down next to him.

"Sorry about being late Naruto, but my apartment elevator was broken, I had to walk down all those stairs." Kakashi ordered a drink, his white health mask held securely in place.

Naruto pulled off a glare that looked more like a squint, "Kakashi, your apartment building only has two floors..."

Kakashi avoided the comment by asking for a straw. "So what drink are you blocking Naruto from this time?"

"This time it's my brother." Itachi nodded towards Sasuke who was currently grinding against some unknown human. Great, now there would be human scent throughout the pack's home until Sasuke took a shower. Which he wouldn't, just to make Itachi angry.

"Oh really? I thought Sasuke was in a relationship with Sai?"

"He was, against my advice." Itachi glanced over to his little brother and swallowed his growl, "Sai used him again."

"I see, so now Naruto is trying to get into his pants?"

"Yes."

"Hey!" Naruto had enough of them talking like he wasn't there. "Help a guy out Kakashi! I'm a good person!"

Itachi wasn't convinced, but the protective side wasn't helping Naruto's case either. "Doesn't matter anyway Naruto. You made a bad first impression on Sasuke and he's never going to give you his number now."

Naruto grinned. "Why don't you give me his number Itachi?"

"No"

Narutos grin dropped into his lap.

Kakashi's mask creased as he smiled. He knew Naruto very well and Sasuke must have done something really out of the ordinary to engross Naruto like this. They were polar opposites and either they would fall deeply in love or fall deeply into their graves. Either way the adventure would be fun to watch and it was up to Kakashi to get Itachi and himself to play cupid.

"Naruto why don't you go to the bathroom. There's paint from your studio still on your cheek." Kakashi had devised his plan, now it was time to put it into action.

"Are you serious? Urgh! Sasuke probably saw it too!" Naruto stomped his way to the bars bathroom.

Kakashi counted to three slowly to make sure he wasn't overheard, with Naruto gone, it was now time to persuade Itachi. It shouldn't be too hard, Itachi knew Naruto and with the recent breakup, no one wanted Sasuke to hook up with Sai again, including Kakashi.

"I think you should give Naruto his number."

Itachi gave a sarcastic huff as if in agreement. "Not you too."

"No, I really mean it. Naruto's a good kid. Sure he has his questionable habit of eating ramen, but he will be good for Sasuke."

"Even so Kakashi," Itachi lowered his voice "I don't think it's a good idea with Sasuke's...situation."

Kakashi had been the only one outside of Itachi's pack to know that Sasuke was a beta. He probably would have never found out if he hadn't been a teacher for Sasuke when he was younger.

"That's why I'm saying Naruto is a perfect fit! Sure he may be a bit judgmental towards humans. We all have our own flaws. But Naruto doesn't manipulate most omegas and betas like other alphas try to do. He doesn't view them to be lesser or order them around and he's a powerful leader. Sasuke craves that, instinctively anyway, and that's why Sai didn't work out." Kakashi couldn't tell if he was getting through to Itachi.

"So what are you suggesting Kakashi? I give Sasuke over to Naruto?" Itachi did not like that thought one bit and he didn't stop the growl that bubbled up past his human vocal cords and made itself clear.

Oh crap, back up Kakashi, back it up, Sasuke's old teacher thought. If he wasn't careful Kisame would hear and that would alert Sasuke and then Naruto would be back from the bathroom. Damn being cupid was harder than it looks. "No, no, no. Just give him Sasuke's number. See how they progress from there, that's all. See? No giving up Sasuke. Just give a little push." Itachi looked thoughtful at that. Whew, just in time, as Kakashis picked up the sound of footsteps coming from the bathroom.

Naruto walked back and sat back down. "Kakashi you liar, there was no paint."

"My bad, must have been a trick of the lights."

Naruto looked at his watch, it was already getting late and the little glances he made towards Sasuke made him feel worse. Sasuke had been dancing with random people the whole night, that should be him dammit! His wolf did not like it one bit either, /He should only want us!/.

"I'm going home, its getting late and I have work tomorrow" mumbled Naruto dejectedly.

Kakashi sneaked Itachi a knowing and pushing look as Naruto started to get up.

Itachi internally groaned, this was going to bite him in the ass. Why couldn't he be like Kisame when it came to feelings? His boyfriend was so much better and understanding at it.

"Wait Naruto." Writing quickly on a piece of lined paper, Itachi wrote down Sasukes number.

Naruto lit up like a Christmas tree, grabbing the paper and beaming."Thank you! This will change everything!"

Itachi decided that he hated Christmas now and preferred Halloween with all the killing.

Naruto walked out of the bar, not noticing the security guard giving him a silent salute for good luck. Getting a Uchiha to date you was a full time job, getting a Uchiha to say 'I love you' was a full life commitment. But Kisame already made his choice and was loving every minuted of it even when he wasn't. Man, this kid was going to need all the luck in the world to peek Sasuke's interest.

"Well I know my opinion of you, Uchiha Sasuke." Naruto talked to the phone number as he walked to his car, "I like you" /and hes got guts too, worthy/. Naruto agreed, folding the piece of paper and tucking it safely into his pocket. By the time the alpha got home, he couldn't stop thinking about the other alpha and concluded his day by falling asleep with a smile on his face. Today was a great day.

Kakashi stayed until closing hour.

"I really hope your right about this Kakashi. If not," Itachi snarled a dangerous warning.

Kakashi held his hands up. "Woah. You can trust me. When have I ever been wrong about this type of thing?"

Heavy silence.

"Heh. On second thought, don't answer that."

Sasuke must have fallen asleep because when he woke up it was 8 pm. Oh shit, he had a shift tonight at the bar! Frantically bolting from the black leather couch, running around the apartment, Sasuke stripped down and changed into black pants, a white button up, and a black tie. He checked his hair, trying to brush it down before it stubbornly stuck back up again. Giving up like always, Sasuke grabbed his phone and drove to the bar.

The sun seemed to go down earlier and there was now a chill in the air that wasn't there before. October was finally here and Sasuke was loving every minute of it. The back door squeaked as he unlocked it and walked in.

"Good evening Sasuke." It was the greeting Sasuke received every time he walked into the bar. The greeting was very annoying at first, sounded like a damn cliché vampire phrase. But the more Itachi said it, the faster Sasuke soon realized that the simple phrase was Itachi's way of asking 'how are you?'

"Good evening Itachi." And this was his way of saying 'I'm Fine.'

"Sleep in too late again?" How did Itachi always know?

"I would say no, but you would know that I'm lying." Sasuke clocked in and started washing his hands and preparing for a busy night. Fridays, why did he have to work detestable Fridays? He never worked them and the only time Itachi asked him to work Fridays was when they...

And predictably out of nowhere, "I think it's about time we go on a camping trip."

Sasuke shoulders slumped, why couldn't he be normal? Letting the beast run wild once a month was a part of being healthy. But it was still unfair. It didn't matter what day it was as long as you transformed, none of that full moon bullshit. The only reason why werewolves preferred a full moon was so that you could see better in the dark. Humans took flashlights to see in the woods, so it was perfectly logical for werewolves to want moon light. Other than the fact that they could still see pretty damn well without it.

"Didn't we just go? I can put up with the itch and a few mood swings here and there." Sasuke really hated being stuck in a car full of pack members for a couple hours and then in a cabin. Especially when they thought he was the best center point for all of their jokes. A crime scene and horror movie just waiting to happen in the beta's opinion.

"So can I, but what we can't put up with is police when they knock on our door because there's a dead body in the woods because of Hidan again." Itachi's voice became quiet even though the storage room/kitchen was sound proof. "So get all the things you need and prepare to move out when I say so."

"Careful Itachi, you almost sound like you're asserting your dominance and leadership over me."

Itachi smirked. "No, wouldn't want that now would we? That just might keep you safe." A small smile grew onto Sasuke's face at Itachi's joke.

"Speaking of 'wouldn't wants,' that jerk from last night somehow got my number." And even though fate had a funny way of matching things up, the more Sasuke thought about Naruto getting his number, the more something just didn't feel right.

"Hm, that's interesting."

"Yeah," Sasuke almost dropped the glass he was washing. "Dammit, I forgot to block his number."

"You can do that after your shift, now go work the bar." Oh Sasuke, Itachi mentally sighed, please don't be too mad once you learn the truth and learn the truth he would, his little brother was good at figuring out Itachi's schemes.

Sasuke mocked his older alpha brother with a dramatic sigh and a head tilt, just because he knew it would rile his brothers wolf. "Yes dad."

Sasuke had been right to think that tonight the bar would be busy. He immediately started making drinks with the speed that only came from practice. Seeing the sea of familiar and unfamiliar faces put his troubled mind at ease.

People each had their signature scents. With a sensitive nose, it made it hard to get past that sometimes, a person's scent told their life story. It could also tell you if that person was an omega, beta, or alpha. Sasuke's beta scent had been a challenge to cover up when Sasuke was still a pup. But now he took special pills that covered it up with the smell of aggression. It made strangers think twice before approaching him, making him appear closed off and angry. But the pills gave him a chance to a life without being subjected to judgment and status. The bar relaxed him, everyone's scents swirled and intertwined here. No one could tell your status, or what background you came from, just like or dislike you because of your character.

"Excuse me."

Why did that voice sound familiar? /don't turn around/.

"I'm still waiting for that drink. And your text that says yes to a date."

Oh shit.
