An hour later

After showering and changing clothes for the party Naruto had went into an internal debate about what had happened with Sasuke earlier. He had been so confused since the incident; his mind was so twisted right now. He loved liked Sai, right? However the way Sasuke had kissed him, the feeling of thin, smooth lips against his own, it had felt so right. It had sent a fire burning through his body, made his spine tingle with excitement and joy, the feeling of that warm appendage smothering his own and filling his mouth with the taste of all that was Sasuke had made him forget about the half assed boyfriend he was supposed to be in love with.

He had not been out of his bedroom since he had come into it and slammed the door in his wake, except to shower. As he walked out into the living room now though he noticed something different, the banner was hung high above his head; tacked neatly in place and the table had a splay of chips, dip, pizza, soda, liquor and a cake. The floor beside the table contained a Styrofoam chest that was most likely filled to the brim with bone chilling ice chips.

He was snatched from his admiring when a sharp knock cut through the room. He reminded himself to push his pride aside and tell Sasuke thank you when he saw him again as he hurried to the door and pulled it open to reveal their friends crowding the hallway. He was relieved to see most of the people had showed up; Tenten, Shikamaru, Chouji, Deidara, Sasori, Neji, and a few others that he had invited. However as everyone came in he couldn't help but notice the lacking presents of a certain raven named Sai.

He wasn't sure if Sai was going to show up or not, but part of him hoped he wouldn't show up at all. Guilt washed over him at the thought, this was his boyfriend he was talking about, and how could you not want to see your boyfriend?

"Naruto!" Temari gushed, snatching the blonde from the doorway into a bone crushing hug, ripping him from his thoughts. "I haven't seen you in forever!"

"Last week Temari, we just saw each other last week." Naruto laughed, pulling away to greet the rest of their friends.

The room quickly filled with chatter and laughter, voices mixing together and drowning each other out, talking about random things like all friends did. It was only when Temari yelled for everyone to 'shut the fuck up because he's coming' did the room quiet down to nothing but silence. Everyone hid as best as they could and the lights were flicked off by someone, Shikamaru was asleep in the floor but let's just pretend that counts.

The squeak of the door filled the eerie silence and as soon as Kiba flicked the lights on everyone screamed the infamous; "Happy birthday Kiba!"

Shock quickly covered his face before it turned into a bright smile, he laughed. "Let me guess," He pointed at Naruto. "You did this."

"Everyone helped!" Naruto held his hands up in mock surrender but smiled nonetheless.

"Well then thank you everyone," He smiled again, closing the door. "Sai isn't here?"

Naruto frowned; he was trying to avoid that thought as of right now. "He said he would be late. He had and important appointment."

He was suddenly pulled away and squeezed tightly, blond hair falling over his shoulder as they swayed back and forth a few times before coming to a stop. Deidara walked around Naruto and smiled brightly, "Naruto, how are you?"

With a smile of his own, Naruto responded. "I'm great! Couldn't be better actually." The lie was futile and he knew it, Deidara had always known how to see right through him and push until he got the truth. Naruto mentally counted down. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1-

"Where is he?" Deidara hissed, not hiding his dislike for Sai.

"…He had something to do, Dei."

"Hn," The blonde rolled his blue eyes and shook his head. "Well you better tell that boyfriend of yours that if he keeps putting you second like this, I'll end up snatching you away from him!"

Naruto just smiled, knowing Deidara meant well. I was going to respond but Deidara's eyes were suddenly snatched away from me and landed on the raven that had just entered the room. The room quickly filled with new gossip and Sasuke's eyes turned to him, I had no choice but to introduce him now. Even if a small, okay not so small, part of me wanted to avoid Sasuke for as long as humanly possible, rumors would quickly spread throughout the whole collage if I didn't announce him as my roommate now.

"Everyone, this is Sasuke. He's… My new roommate."

Naruto rolled his eyes at how quickly everyone resumed with their business, seeing that they had no new gossip, nothing juicy. Pfft, if they only knew. A few of the girls went up to him and tried to start a conversation with him, all with the same result. Sasuke said hello and then told them he was not interested in their friendship and moved to a different part of the room.

"Naruto! Oh god, he's so hot!" Deidara stage whispered.

"You want him, you can have him." Naruto said all too quickly, feeling a pang of jealousy at his own words, something that I should not be feeling.

"Nah, I have my eyes set on someone else right now." Deidara said, winking.

Naruto opened his mouth to ask who, but two hands suddenly covered his eyes and his mouth snapped shut.

"Guess who?"

Naruto forced a smile and turned around quickly, his lips pressing against Sai's in a quick kiss. I took ahold of his hand and led him to the couch, making room for the two of us. His heart was beating unusually fast when he glanced up and caught site of Sasuke watching us.

"So," Naruto looked away. "Where were you this time?"

"I just got here and you're questioning me already?"

Naruto cringed, looking down. Sometimes the way Sai said things… It hurt. It sounded demanding, menacing, intimidating… He couldn't really explain it. He just knew that Sai needed to learn how to speak to him without sounding like a total jackass. "I'm not questioning you Sai. I just want to know."

"What matters," Sai said, smiling. "Is that I'm here now."

"So what? You're not telling me?" Naruto snorted and shook his head in disbelief.

"Why are you always so fucking insistent Naruto?" Sai growled, his grip tightening on their joined hands painfully.

Naruto snarled, leaning closer to the older male. "If you aren't doing anything wrong then you would have no problem telling me. But you know what? Don't tell me anything. Suit yourself." With that, Naruto snatched his hand from Sai's grasp and stood. He glared down at his 'boyfriend' for a few seconds before looking around to see if anyone had witnessed the aggressive display. A few heads turned away as soon as he looked up, one of those heads being Sasuke's.

He pointedly ignored him and turned away, making my way over to Neji and Shikamaru. As much as he didn't want to believe it, he knew Sai was up to something. The last couple of months had been nothing but shit. He had been stood up more times than he could count and he always had these half assed excuses as to why he never showed up. It wasn't long before Naruto notice that Neji had his eyes set on Sasuke and another spark of jealousy shot through his body; he wanted to grip Sasuke's hand and drag him out of the room. Of course, Naruto had no right to do that, but he felt the selfish need to keep Sasuke to himself.

"Aye! We're playing truth or dare!" Temari yelled, "If your too pussy then I would get out now!"

Naruto groaned, this would be a mix of interesting and torture. Not too much later everyone was seated in a circle on the floor, the furniture was pushed out of the way and a empty vodka bottle was placed in the dead center. The rules were simple, either you did the dare or you drank a shot.

"Alright birthday boy, you go first!" Sakura chirped loudly.

Kiba grinned and spun the bottle, after a few quick turns it slowed down and landed on Temari. "Yes!" Kiba cheered, loving the way the feisty blond glared.

"Truth or dare bitch!" Kiba laughed

Temari growled; "Truth."

"Hmm… Is it true that your roommate found you finger fucking yourself while looking at your Mila Kunis poster?"

Mouth's dropped open in silent laugher and disbelief, some actually laughing loudly as Temari smirked.

"So what if it is?" She barked out.

"Yes or no Temari!" Someone yelled from beside Naruto.

"Yes, it's true."

Naruto couldn't contain the loud laughter that he let out, along with a few others. He saw Sai smile beside him and caught the 'what the fuck' look Sasuke through at the blonde girl. Gaara and Kankuro's faces screwed up in disgust and he laughed harder. Sai took my hand into his own again and I looked at him, as if asking what he thought he was doing. He threw me an apologetic look and I smiled. Forgive and forget, right?

"Okay, now I'll spin the bottle." Temari informed, spinning the bottle.

"Dare!" Lee screamed before he was even asked.

"Okay, I dare you to get as close to Gaara as you can and whisper in his ear 'You are the hottest piece of ass at this party.', then kiss him on the lips." Temari cracked up half way through the dare as Lee's mouth fell open and his face turned bright red. Gaara on the other hand, was directing a killer glare towards Temari.

Lee stood on his knees and made his way over to the red head, the only thing that was seen was a flash of army green glomping the red head, making them both fall to the floor. Lee leaned in close and whispered into Gaara's ear what he was told too before hesitantly pressing his lips against the other's. Everything was silent as Gaara pushed the other up and sat up himself, the idiot still in his lap.

"I think you're hot too." Gaara said in a monotone voice.

"Really?" Lee whispered, shocked.

"No, not get the fuck off of me."

Everyone stared for a few moments before they busted out laughing once again. The laughter was interrupted by a phone ringing; Lee announced his departure and wished Kiba a happy birthday before leaving. Naruto shook his head, "He's nuts!"

"Sai, you spin the bottle." Gaara nodded at the raven.

Everyone agreed and Sai made quick work of spinning the bottle. It seemed like an eternity until the thing stopped, and when it did, Naruto's heart jumped oddly in his chest.

Sasuke.
