Author's Notes:

Thanks to all of you who had reviewed, followed or favorite, I hope you continue supporting me until the end. Now, about this chapter, it took a little too long into finishing up, and it's my fault, because I was too busy to finish it. But I have. And it's here! So, sorry for the long wait! And thanks to my Beta, XxDreaming of RealityxX, for the edits she'd made. Read and enjoy, as always~

"Are you sure about this?" Naruto asked nervously, looking at the weird outfit he was being made to wear.

"If this doesn't work, then I'll give half of my next month's salary to you." A proud Gaara explained.

"But…" Naruto twirled around the mirror as a fluffy white tail copied his motion. He frowned at the dark tight leather pants and the turtle-necked, leather sleeveless shirt that barely reached to cover the area above his naval. "How will I, being dressed in something like this, have him stop being pissed about me forgetting about him?"

"You will, when he sees you in this, he'll forget everything…hopefully, even his ability to form words."

"But, Gaara, this looks a bit…umm…sexy?" Naruto blushed as his buttocks shone back at him from the mirror.

Gaara rose from the bed he was occupying and ran a hand through his long red hair, thinking momentarily about how he needed to go pay a visit to his favourite barber, then pulled something from the drawer beside the huge mirrors Naruto had suddenly found himself surrounded by, and said…

"Here, wear this."

A pair of fluffy bunny ears was given to him. The blond sweat dropped at them.

"What's this?"

"Ears."

"I can see that just fine. Why do you want me to wear them?"

"Because they are your ears."

Naruto felt that uneasy feeling that he'd felt when the redhead first suggested the plan, knock on his memory's door once again; he voiced. "…Okay, this is where I'll have to draw a line to preserve what's left of my manhood and say a definite, NO!"

"It's a bit late for your heroine stand. Take it."

"No. Gaara, look, I consider myself opened minded to about everything. I didn't say anything when I was made to wear this like a googol, but I refuse to wear the ears! This is when you have to go get yourself a new toy!"

Gaara rolled his eyes and sighed. "You're not a toy. And I'm doing this to help you out, now wear it; you're not going to die from it!"

"I won't, but I'll lose what's left of my dignity, besides, I don't understand how dressing me like a bunny-whore is going to win me the dick's friendship. I'm not seeking his pants!"

Gaara sighed and put a hand on his temple. "I guess I'll need to explain myself to you."

"Yes, you do!"

The redhead looked for the simplest way that he could tell the other his thoughts without any complications, because it appeared –according to Neji, that others didn't really understand his words and his logic when he didn't simplify it for them. So, thinking that he'd found the best mean, he opened his mouth to speak.

"Alright. What are we trying to do?" He asked rhetorically, "We're trying to have Sasuke break the barrier he has around his heard alienating you and confess his mutual desire to be friends with you. Yes, I do believe he also wishes to be on good terms with you," Gaara paused at the small smile that appeared on the other's mouth, then continued, "And for this to succeed we'll have to have him drop his guard to loosen the walls around him, which is very hard. Yet, there's only one way for that to happen. Males tend to drop their guards around females. And that's what we'll take advantage of."

Naruto's eyebrows linked in a state of confusion and he tried to move to a sitting position but the leather pants that apparently were too very tight forbade that small action from happening, so, he ignored it, and leaned back on the wall, giving his attention to the redhead. "Last time I checked, I wasn't a she."

"I said, we'll take advantage. How do females control males? Easy, by pheromones. And we'll just need to have you emit them, or to at least make Sasuke believe that you're emitting them."

"Isn't that just like cheating him? And what will happen if this pheromones business is to escalate? I mean, I'm not looking into a rape-waiting-to-happen, am I?"

"First, technically, we're not cheating, but even if we are, everything is well in war and love…or so they say. And don't worry, even if he wanted to rape you, Sasuke wouldn't do it, he is a jerk, but has certain morals, and if you don't desire it, he won't touch you."

"Gaara, I have a question here."

"Be my guest,"

"Why don't you sound bothered by all of this? Don't you feel even the tiniest bit disgusted?"

"Is there a reason for me to be disgusted?" A fine red brow was raised.

"Well, I just thought you'd be against boy and boy interactions seeing as h-"

"As how I appear to others?"

Naruto nodded with a blush of embarrassment. "I didn't mean to come off as offensive, but you look too strict and a bit uptight."

"Hmm…it's not offensive. I've had it told to me a multiple of times. But it doesn't upset me, even if you view me as such, it's your opinion and you're entitled to have one, as I'm entitled to have my own. And regarding this business, I'd assume you're referring to 'gay-business', right?"

The blond nodded; finally feeling his legs give up on him, and ignoring his pride, he walked towards the bed and allowed his aching muscles a rest. "Yes, doesn't it bother you if two males got together?"

"It's not really my business to have it bother me or not. And I never cared much about it. I'd say I didn't even have interest in anything in life let alone the gay-society."

"And you're still feeling that way?"

"Hmm…well, I think my view might have changed a bit. I had always figured them as stereotypes, feminine, unable to function right in life, and losing themselves in sex. But then I met one of them – a gay person who could spot fun in everything, he was brilliant. Could ace everything he did, and it seemed to him as if he was born to have fun. And I was intrigued by him."

"Can I take it as a reason why you came to like it?"

"I don't like it. I'm indifferent to it. Males or females. They only differ in one thing, one of them has the ability to produce children and the other cannot. It only comes down to one thing in the end, if you have feelings for the other party or not, gender doesn't really play a role in feelings, since we're all the same in that notch."

"So, you're saying that he didn't change your opinion about anything, except the stereotyping?"

Gaara brought a ring out of the nightstand beside his bed and tied his messy locks with it, taking a minute to ruffle a distant lock back to the group, then he answered Naruto. "No, he did change something in me. He showed me a side to life that I didn't know existed. And even though it feels silly of me to say this – since it goes against all the scientific facts known to man – I think I'd lose a part of me if he and I were to go our separate ways."

Naruto released a sweet smile, having lost interest in trying to fight the desire to scratch the leather pants off of his skin.

"Are you in love with him?" The question lingered in the air for a while and Naruto thought that maybe he'd touched a place he shouldn't have or that maybe this particular question was inappropriate of him to ask at this time, so he started to quickly redeem himself. "I'm sorry…if you don't want to answer, I'll understand."

Gaara put a finger under his chin, feeling troubled. "It's not that I don't want to answer, it's just…what makes you think that? Was it the words I used?"

"Huh? Oh…umm…not really, well, a part of it from them…but there was a soft feeling when you were talking about him. I don't know you all that well, but from what I've gathered, I don't think you're one who lets his emotions drive him by the hand."

"Then, you were able to detect love in my tone of voice?"

"Your emotions, yes."

Gaara looked at the ceiling pondering Naruto's words for a while then responded. "Maybe I do have a portion of love within me for him."

"Umm…I don't want you to put ideas inside your head based on my words…maybe you should take this more slowly before you can say anything firm." Naruto soon jumped to say.

"Well," Jade eyes blinked when their owner flipped back on his feet, "That's a matter for tomorrow. Right now, let's see to your problem. Do you understand now why you're dressed that way?"

"Not entirely, but I'll resign to your reasons for the moment and see where they lead me. Still, I have a last question. How will I be sure that what he'll be feeling is desire and not disgust?"

"That, you're going to see it in his face."

And those ears that were taunting him from a far were given to him again. Reluctantly; Naruto reached a tanned hand to take them. "Even though both my heart and mind are telling me that this will be a very bad idea, I'll follow on with what you're offering."

"Good since the mind and the heart are overrated organs."

Naruto just suppressed an inner groan and switched his ears into bunny ones.

His hands were ice cold and he forced them to cover his tomato resembling face. Naruto felt his stomach grumble as his whole body went inside the blanket and his vision was blinded by his sweaty palms. Okay, this is something that he didn't count for! And if he did, he wouldn't be in such a situation with such a jerk laughing his ass off on the floor two feet away from his bed at him. Naruto knew the moment he agreed to Gaara's little plan that it wasn't such a good plan, and now it was time to pay. Oh lord! Why couldn't he just listen to his warning hunch?!

A fidgety blond peeked a blue orb between his index and middle finger, and the raven was now clutching his stomach trying not to die laughing. Humiliation reminded Naruto of his action…not that he could forget.

He knew he'd never, ever live this one down. And he deserved it!

"Alright! Stop it, already! It was a bad idea!"

"Hah…Idea? Oh God! Haha...I've never laughed so hard before!" A clearly tired of laughing Sasuke forced his laughter to a minimum so he could leave the floor and travel back to his bed, then he said between fits of laughs. "Whatever you were thinking, it amused the hell out of me."

"S-Shut up…it's not the reaction I was supposed to get…" Naruto said, hiding his body more.

"Then," Sasuke started finding the power to sit back on his bed, without rolling on the floor again. "What did you have in mind?"

"…Nothing special."

At the small whisper accompanied with a faint blush that dimly appeared over the hot cheeks, Sasuke's head started racing to reach the idea. "Don't tell me that you thought that by wearing that thing I'd be turned on or something?"

Naruto's ears perked up and he hid further, if possible, inside the blanket. "N-No! Who would want your ass to be turned on, jerk?!"

"Obviously you, and it's not my ass you want on, it's-"

And that's when the blond felt himself sink into blissful humiliation, just like a damn ostrich sinking into pits and pits of smooth sand.

Sounds of his own bed start to sink at intervals away from him had Naruto slowly raising his head to see what was happening. He was taken aback when a lump came over his throat and a very pleased Sasuke continued crawling his way towards him. Naruto moved back by instinct and was in a momentarily state of shock when his back hit the wall. He swallowed the lump hard.

"…Uchi-"

"Hush, its Sasuke…call me Sasuke."

The raven's face was inches away from his and with the way he was being looked at, the possibility of that rape he was so scared of receiving was closing in on him.

"Umm…Sasuke, what are you doing?"

"What you wanted me to do, dressed so lewdly."

Naruto put two tan hands on his chest trying to push the other back. "I think you've gotten the wrong idea here, which I was afraid you would, I want to be friends nothing more!"

Sasuke took the tanned hands away and pinned them on the wall behind Naruto, forcing him to let go of the blanket protecting his bare skin. "We'll be all of that and more after I get my fill."

Naruto blushed at the lust-filled face he was facing, and tried to have the raven back to his senses. "No, not more, hear me! S-Sasuke…it's me, Naruto, the roommate you want to kill, remember me? You can't possibly be lusting over me; I'm a male, too!"

"It didn't stop you from trying to seduce me, and mind me to be the one who blows off that little plan of yours."

"You have to believe me on this one, I wasn't trying to seduce you!"

"Yeah, yeah…and I'm not trying to get into your tight ass right now."

Seeing as how reason was only getting him fucked, Naruto cursed Gaara for forcing him to revolt to such means – but protecting his anus seemed top priority right now, and with sharp teeth, he sunk them into the arm holding his own hostage, then slipped from underneath the covers to stand in the centre of the room, looking down at a confused raven.

"Hey! What did you do that for?"

"Because your ears were too filled with crap to hear what I was trying to say!"

"Fuck what you were trying to say! You don't bite someone who was about to fuck your ass!"

"That's exactly what you do to a rapist!"

"A what? No, no, no, no. You were the one particularly throwing your round ass at me, waggling it in that tight leather!"

"Hey! It wasn't my idea, okay?! And for the umpteenth time, I didn't want to seduce you! I wanted to be friends!"

"Last time I checked, the only friends made in bed are fuck-buddies!"

Naruto puffed his cheeks and placed his hands on his hips, ignoring how totally silly he would appear to anyone who was to walk in on them right now. "I didn't want to turn to it, but you left me no choice. You refused to act like a human and continued being pissed about something in the past without allowing me any chance to defend myself against your words!"

"That's because you were stupid enough to forget me! How do you want me to talk to you after something like that?!"

Naruto was taken aback by the words and blinked at the raven that cursed himself for the slip. He quietly allowed his body to fall back onto Sasuke's bed and muttered under his breaths.

"So, we've met."

"Yes, we have. But you went and forgot all about me, even my face. How stupid, can't even remember seeing someone as good looking as me."

The blond allowed the malice to pass under him, and asked in a tender tone. "If you knew me, why did you act as if you didn't?"

"Because you didn't remember! I wasn't about to make your ass happy that I held onto a memory that you've obviously trashed as unimportant and let you gloat on me!"

A nice frown became resident on Naruto's features, and he corrected the false idea Sasuke had formed on his personality. "I wouldn't gloat on you. There would be no reason for me to do that. I'd be an ass if I did."

"Oh well, I didn't know how you'd turned out in the first place." The raven stood from the other's bed and started walking off, "Anyway, I'm going to take a shower right now and unless you're thinking of taking one with me, I'd advise you to get rid of these clothes."

Naruto stuck his tongue out at the sexy smirk he was given and when he heard the sound of the bathroom door click closed, he allowed himself a minute to breathe. Okay, so his plan had totally backfired on him, but in the mix, he'd destroyed the barrier Sasuke was holding against him. So yeah, maybe Gaara's initial plan hadn't screwed him totally as he's believed it did the second Sasuke started laughing his smirks off, Naruto thought as he walked towards his bed thinking

While he struggled to get the turtle-necked shirt off, he groaned at the zipper that got caught into his hair and it was another damn struggle to get his hair free without having a bold spot appear in the middle of its yellow jungle. Half an hour later found him lying on his bed with the leather pants being peeled off of his skin and a serene smile on his features. Naruto felt a scratching-fire burn at his skin and, without realizing it; he started scratching his legs, cursing whatever came to his mind at that hellish moment he wore that leather at.

Finally, he was back into his comfortable jersey and sweatpants. The reason why people couldn't get their roommate's barriers crushed while wearing normal comforters was beyond his line of comprehension.

The door of the bathroom creaked open and a refreshed looking Sasuke was out. Naruto tried to stop his mouth from smiling, but he couldn't. He'd just achieved something that was agonizing him from the moment he came to know Sasuke, so he'd finally crashed a door down, and was one step closer to his goal.

Sasuke ignored the rays of sunshine that were hitting his bare back and went to shuffle through his clothes for something to cover with.

"Sasuke, I heard that you're in Management, but I have never seen a Management department on campus."

"That's because we don't go to school here, our collage is five blocks to the east. You know the grand park I took you to the other day?"

"Yeah…"

"It's on the same parallel street. One day I'll show you." Feeling the blond behind him perk at his words, Sasuke added. "I take that back. It won't be a good idea to take you. Just ask another if you want to go. Don't involve me. And don't say you know me if you go there, either."

"But…I don't really have anyone there, or anyone thinking about going there, and if there was a time that I'm to go there, I'll only go to see you!"

"I'd prefer it if you didn't, and… are you sure you're not trying to seduce me?"

Naruto blushed and threw a pillow at the male who was fully dressed and gave a smirk down at him. "Yes, I am, jerk."

"Hn. Better start on watching your words if you don't want me jumping you then."

Having nothing else to counter with, since he felt that Sasuke's words were on a level true, Naruto closed his mouth and lay back on his bed. Suddenly, he released a yelp followed by a loud groan and hopped off of his bed muttering a small, "Fucking homework!" To a confused Sasuke and rushed towards his backpack to get out the papers that held his upcoming headache in their contents.

Sasuke didn't like what he was seeing, and it had no relation to his surroundings. He ignored the pole dancer trying to get his attention and pulled a messed up looking young man up from the gutters. It wasn't his first time having this happening to his elder brother, but he didn't like it, either. Biting his lips at the dancer who refused to let go of him, Sasuke's patience was running thin.

"Fuck off, bitch!"

Shrinking in fear at his tone and glare, she left him and ran off to another customer that cared to learn about how she could twirl her legs above her head, a technique she thought only a few could muster. Sasuke ignored the drunken males with horny dicks rubbing against naked females and the toxic airs around, and heaved a sigh of delight upon reaching the gates.

He paid the man at the door to help him carry his brother's bungled form and get him into the luxurious looking limousine at the back. Upon having the door shut, Sasuke said in a strained tone.

"To the manor, please."

His driver nodded a curt nod and a ride that was filled with nothing but an extra quiet atmosphere and groans from Sasuke about how Itachi's behaviour needed to come to a stop had started. Sasuke's eyes fluttered as his body released a tiny shiver that he'd ignored and a shower of servants came to help their master up the staircase and into his bed, the moment they arrived.

Sasuke just waited until he was given the sign that everything was alright to start on moving out again.

"You should stay, you know. He really misses you."

A spiked, silver-haired man stepped out of the darkness with a cigarette between his lips and a light bang covering his left eye.

"Sorry, Kakashi, you know I can't do that."

"You should start on learning how to forget, your brother needs you by his side. These are crucial times he's having."

Sasuke bit his lower lip and turned towards the exit. "I…can't. Not yet."

"But your fath-"

"I'll have to get back now. The dorm has strict rules about students being late. Tell him I'll stop by the company first thing Monday morning."

Sasuke turned on his heels and walked out of the giant gate. He felt his heart thump uncontrollably as emotions that he'd forgotten to the empty, black space inside his head, came gushing through his veins, reminding him of the pain. He loosened the tie on his neck; and fisted his hands tight as his body broke into a cold sweat.

As he felt his lungs close in on him, he yelled for his driver to hurry it up. Finally, they reached the doors to the dormitory; Sasuke left the car as if touched by fire and ran through the empty halls back to his room. When the number seventeen caught his eyes alongside the two nameplates, Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, Sasuke felt his rushing heart calm down a bit.

He unlocked the door, and was met with complete darkness. Taking a swift look at his watch, he sighed at the early time the other had turned to sleep in and marched into the room. Walking softly as not to disturb his sleeping roommate, Sasuke disregarded his clothes. Yet, as he entered the bathroom to get rid of the sweat controlling his limps and started changing from the suit to comfortable clothes, he found the other wide awake looking at him with hazy eyes.

Without meaning to, his mouth broke into a small, tiny smile. "Sorry I woke you up."

At the unfamiliar tone, Naruto clicked his nightstand's lamp on and tried to clear his vision to see what was happening with his roommate. "Sasuke, what's wrong?"

"Can I come sleep with you tonight?"

And that tone was still present, Naruto nodded and scooped backwards, lifting the blanket up to allow Sasuke an entrance. "Anytime."

Naruto had to brace himself when he was held in a bone-crushing hug that didn't quite fit with the Sasuke who was tormenting him every day. He blinked when he felt a shiver come over the other, and pulled the blanket over them, thinking that Sasuke might be cold.

They stayed in that position. Naruto closing his mouth and Sasuke maintaining an iron grip on him. Tanned fingers soon found their way into Sasuke's damp hair and he smiled when the tips rolled onto his digits, clutching a bit tightly for him not to let go.

"I won't ask. So you don't have to tell. But how about you at least allow me a sort of freedom? My shoulders are going a bit numb."

The only indication that the raven smothering him had heard his plea was the faint nod that Naruto could feel due to their close proximity. Sasuke relaxed his hold and Naruto was able to adjust his circulation to a degree that wouldn't have him ending up with bedsores. When his face came close to Sasuke's, Naruto felt himself get lost inside that darkness, the only light bringing him back was that of his nightstand table.

"Naruto,"

"Hm?"

"I want to kiss you."

Naruto allowed himself five seconds to be surprised then a pale finger came to move a golden lock from his face. And, not needing permission, Sasuke closed the small distance between them with his lips. Naruto tasted bitterness into the kiss. It wasn't his first kiss, but he felt as if he was being robbed of something by this devious, cold-blooded, heartless, bittersweet kiss. Yet, he'd tried to respond, but when he did, Sasuke pushed back against him and broke the kiss, obviously not liking what Naruto had just done.

"Don't kiss me back."

"…Huh? Why?"

"Just don't. I don't like it."

Naruto frowned. "What do you mean? Do you want me to just lay here like a log of wood while you get off?"

"Exactly." Black orbs shone in the orangish lit room, telling Naruto that he wasn't talking jokes here.

"…You really mean it?"

"I do."

"Fine, then, have it your way, kiss away, Uchiha."

Naruto closed his eyes and braced himself for the shower of kisses that was going to fall on him any minute now. But it never came. Opening an eyelid; he felt a sharp pain as if a knife was being stabbed though his heart at the expression the other was wearing. Then, before he could open his mouth to say anything, Sasuke started getting off the bed.

But before the raven was out of the bed completely, Naruto grabbed his wrist.

"Let go."

"I don't know why, but I can't. It feels like everything between us will end if I do, and I don't want that to happen."

"There's nothing between us to begin with, this was a bad idea from the first place. Let go of me, Uzumaki."

"No, Sasuke, I won't. You…you're hurt…"

The pale hand he was holding was snatched free from his grasp and cold, lifeless, black orbs faced him. "It's none of your business!"

Naruto tackled the raven on his bed before he'd a chance to leave and forced his body on top of Sasuke's. "It is my business! Your business is my business, Sasuke! Whatever burdens you're holding, please, don't hold them alone, allow me to share some, I may be stupid, and I have forgotten you, but you can't just leave me when you're this hurt to be alone! I won't allow you! Sasuke…please, don't be as stupid as me!"

The male under him ceased moving and Naruto thought that maybe he really did smother him to death and quickly got off. But to his relief Sasuke was alive and breathing, allowing a happy smile to graze Naruto's lips.

"Naruto…why did you come here?"

"Here? You mean the dorm or the university or…?"

"The dorm. What caused you to come here?"

Naruto sat at the edge of the bed and looked down at a clearly interested Sasuke, he smiled, it wasn't every day that he got the cold bastard to ask about details concerning him. "I don't really know how much of my past you know, but I finally decided that I needed to stand on my two feet, so I left Sakura's house, and came here."

"Sakura's house? Who's that? And what about the hospital?"

The blond smiled having finally identified the timeline in which the other had met up with him at, and answered. "I left it, after my legs have healed right, and then I went to stay in the house of my best friend, Sakura, I don't think you've met her just yet. She is a very energetic and strong-willed girl. You may like her."

"Hm…And then you came here?"

"Yeah, I didn't want to be a burden to them, and they've taken care of me for over a whole year. I've exceeded my days of being welcomed."

"Who is paying for your stay here?" Sasuke asked while his hands found their way into Naruto's hair.

Azure orbs glittered with a sense of security at the cold fingers coming to play, and Naruto's own fingers greeted then with delight. "I have a trust fund. It pays for everything I need. But it's barely covering all of my collage expenses; I'll need to find me a job soon to be able to fend for my daily expenses."

Sasuke softly yanked the warm, tan fingers that he was playing with and their owner fell so softly onto his side. "Come work for me."

"And where would I be working for you?"

"It doesn't matter, I'll find you something. Just come work for me."

Naruto smiled and propped himself up on his arms. "Thanks for the offer, Sasuke. But I don't think I can."

"If you're worried about the pay, I can have you decide your own salary."

"That's exactly why. If I started on working, I want to know I'm helping people by it and that I've earned it, that I was hired because no one else could do this job, but not because I know my boss, or I have a relationship with him outside of the working premises."

Sasuke's face collected into a fine frown then his lips released, "What does it matter? In the end, you're only getting paid for a job that means nothing. Money is money, what does it matter where it came from?"

"Umm…I think it's hard for you to see things from my perspective, so how about this…I want to do something that will make me have fun."

And Sasuke stayed quiet searching for an answer, but the only one that came to his mind was. "Work isn't done because it's fun, work is done because it needs to be done."

"Sasuke, that's a very sad way to view your job. Tell me, this company you're running, don't you enjoy it? Running it I mean."

The hand playing with his golden locks came to a halt and Sasuke asked. "How do you know that I own a company?"

"Gaara told me."

"You two have become quite close."

"He helps me when I need him. Because I'm new to everything around here, he's been a lot of help, rescuing me from so many mistakes that could've complicated my life."

"Hmm…you're enjoying his friendship."

"He is very remarkable. His views on life are also fascinating. Hey! Don't avoid the question, answer me, do you enjoy your job?"

Sasuke fondled a lock that was close to Naruto's earlobe and then slipped his fingers into the blond's lobe causing Naruto to flinch and take hold of the dangerous hand with a deep blush that suddenly appeared on his face.

"D-Don't do that again!"

And Sasuke registered a sensitive area on the other's flesh.

"Interesting." Before Naruto could know what's what, Sasuke pushed him down on the bed and pinned him there, "I want to continue where we left off."

And again, Naruto had no say into the dominating plan as he was –relying on his own vocabulary, devoured stopped his mouth from releasing a weird noise that would count as a moan of desire when Sasuke started pleasuring himself with Naruto's earlobe. And the blond didn't know why fire was burning inside of him from this little act as it was. It wasn't as if he was being fucked or was fucking for his body to flame up that way!

But, nevertheless, this thing they were at was intense shit that had him momentarily thinking of what would happen if he allowed the ass a chance at fucking him. Quickly dismissing the stupid thought that aroused ecstasy to flow through his veins, Naruto managed to push a dissatisfied Sasuke off of him with stern eyes…well, he at least tried to have them appearing stern.

"S-Sasuke…no. This is dangerous! You'll end up fucking me!"

"And where's the problem in that?"

"The problem is I don't want to be fucked. If any fucking is going to be done here, I will be the one doing it!"

And the blond felt his veins flame from the way Sasuke pulled his hair to the back in and rolled his eyes down at him.

"Let's face truth here, how many people have you fucked?"

"…Ummm…what's this got to do with that?"

"I'm not going to give my asshole to a total virgin."

Naruto rolled his own eyes back at the indication. "I'm not a virgin. But I haven't done all that many…yet."

"How many?"

"A gentleman never talks about such things."

"How many, Dobe?!"

"There is no real meaning to this! I don't even want to fuck you!"

"Then be fucked by me."

Naruto sweat dropped at the grave he dug for himself. "That's a no, either."

"How many, Naruto? And the next time, I'll not be asking, I'll be doing you!"

"That will be considered rape!"

"Rape it is, then. Stubborn children need to be taught what's what each and every time."

From the evil glint inside that darkness, Naruto knew the other wasn't bluffing from the truth. He sighed and kicked Sasuke in the legs, taking the initiative to be on top and have Sasuke loop up for a damn change.

"I did two. One was a girlfriend I had in my last year in junior high; the second was a nurse I met when I was in the hospital. Got a problem with that?!"

And there was it, the reason why he was so reluctant to reveal the details about his sex life, Sasuke's wide-assed smirk, telling him that those he considered achievements were nothing more than minor roles in this big play they were playing.

"The only problem I'd be having is to allow you to be inches close to my ass, Dobe."

"Shut it, you asshole. How many have you done?!"

"Do you really want to know the answer to that question?"

"I wouldn't have asked if I didn't!"

"Well, I'm not one to actually hold these stupid things to a value but if you want me to give you a number, I will. Without you, there's twenty nine, but counting you, thirty."

Sasuke was hit on the head by a displeased Naruto. "Stop counting my ass, you haven't had it!"

"But I will. You better know this clear, that virgin hole of yours will be mine one of these days."

And Naruto told his heart to stop these stupid thumps it was doing every time Sasuke's face would turn to become something so…so...so damn sexy it was memorizing! He lowered his face two inches away from Sasuke's and licked his lips.

"Are you trying to get me hot, Uchiha?"

The pale hands groping his ass were all the answer Naruto needed, and the next thing the raven knew, he was being pushed back into the soft mattress by a hungry Naruto that changed roles with him and devoured his lips as a change of scenario. Sasuke smirked into the vigorous kiss and stuck his tongue inside Naruto's mouth, exploring its ceiling. Naruto allowed a loud moan to break free from his mouth and his mind clouded briefly with desire as Sasuke started producing a friction between their hips, igniting their sleeping members to erect and awaken.

Breaking the kiss, Naruto left the trail of saliva between them and whispered to a happy looking Sasuke. "You're one damn good kisser, I'll give you that."

"Hn. You're not so bad yourself."

"I know."

"Quite the cocky bastard, aren't you?"

"Only this bastard can brace up with your royal assness. Now, where were we?"

"I was fucking you."

Naruto released a small smirk of his own and stopped the other's hands that were going to lower his sweats for him. "Nice try, but no. No fucking is happening tonight."

Sasuke groaned out his frustration. "You're obviously kidding me if you thought you're just going to leave after we're both like this to jerk off in the bathroom, I'll slaughter you!" And a hard member was pushed against Naruto's, greeting his own wood.

"Mnnn…Sasuke, no…we'll not fuck. We'll hand job tonight."

Those words weren't so thrilling to the lying-down-raven as Naruto knew they wouldn't be, but he sucked it up and promised in a husky voice that if Naruto wasn't bracing himself right, he'd have ejaculated just from its mere echo.

"For now, I'll succumb to it. But later, Dobe, this," Naruto's asshole was pushed by both Sasuke's indexes when he was – so swiftly and suddenly, lifted to sit on the other's lap, "will be saying hello to my cock."

"A day that will never come, Teme!"

"We'll see."

This time when the pale hands were making their way into his pants to lower them, Naruto didn't refuse and allowed the intrusion to happen. Skilled fingers took his cock out for air to meet up with Sasuke's and the blond suppressed the little whine that escaped his throat at the difference in sizes. It wasn't a vast difference to have him shout a protest and not a mild one either. They were close to each other in height, but not in width, so the difference was noticeable, but not too noticeable.

Naruto closed his eyes when his penis was being fondled. He had a special way of masturbating and it had him always ejaculate with a happy look on his face, but this technique, the way Sasuke's hands were moving as if they knew all about his hidden secret places, was driving him insane. And it wasn't long before he was panting for more.

"Glad to see you having fun."

Blue orbs opened from their happy land to glance down as Sasuke's other hand brought Naruto's resting palms to work on the hot piece of wood that was the source to Sasuke's pleasure filled box. Naruto felt his face heat up, but at this point there was no turning back.

It was his first time touching another male's cock; he'd expected to feel disgust and repulsion. But when that cock was connected to the sexiest face he's ever seen, his only reaction was gulping down that nervousness and having his own dick harden up in the process. Naruto had no idea what he was doing, but he tried to apply the things he'd used to masturbate with, to Sasuke's member and see how it worked out.

Strangely, it earned him a couple of small pants and one loud moan that returned his self-trust back to its rightful position.

"Sasuke, lips, now!"

The raven smirked and put a pale hand behind Naruto's head to draw him closer, then their lips clashed. And what sweet collision it was. They returned back to the bed with their cocks rubbing against each other as they were finding their own melody.

The faint light that gave them indication on where to touch was doomed unnecessary; Sasuke flicked it off, and Naruto lost himself to the sweet pleasure. They thrust up and down, with Sasuke using the tip of Naruto's dick to drive him to his release and Naruto using Sasuke's balls for that purpose.

Finally, the two released their white nectar onto the sheets and each other stomachs. Naruto pulled his hand up to his face and felt the sticky substance with his fingers.

"Wow, I'm holding your boys in my hand, Sasuke."

The raven rolled his eyes, adjusting his position. "Stop spurting nonsense."

"It's not nonsense, you're also holding mine. I wonder…how would it taste?"

As Naruto's fingers were going into his mouth to try the taste, Sasuke quickly stopped him with warning orbs. "If you seriously don't want me to fuck you tonight; you wouldn't do that!"

The blond sweat dropped at this and brought his hand back to his side, then said sheepishly. "T-Then, should we wash up now?"

"Go ahead, I'll wait 'til you finish."

"It's easier to just go in together. God knows the bathroom can fit."

"Naruto, I'll seriously jump you if you continue to be so careless!"

And that's when Naruto understood and dropped the invitation, while slowly rising to his feet and making his way towards the bathroom. Yet before he was totally inside, he turned back and gave the other the victory sign.

"That was the best hand job I have ever had, Uchiha!"

"Of course, Dobe. You'll be coming back sooner or later for the real thing!"

Naruto laughed as he closed the bathroom door with a melodious, "You wish."

Sasuke took a deep breath at the sweat-filled room and finally, he felt his emotions return back to their initial status with the shivers totally gone astray and his pulse reverting to that of a person feeling nothing. Yes, life was again set back into its rightful tracks, and the little notion that told him of how he'd need to treat himself when next-time attacks was closed in the dark corner located in the back of his head, to be forgotten.

"Whoa! Careful there, buddy!"

The blond shouted at the big muscled, macho moving guy and glared back when he was glared down at. He dunked as he was particularly shoved to the wall by the damn mattress as a revenge for his words. But before he could give the other male a piece of his mind, he found him already disappearing under the stairs and having no energy to go down and initiate a fight after coming right back from the slithering heat a minute ago, Naruto walked towards his room and ignored the little incident.

The only thing he felt like doing right now was open the AC, tuck himself into the blanket he adored so much, and give into sweet, much-needed sleep. Yet, when he entered his room, the only reaction he was able to do was stand there dumbfounded while his eyes blinked the lack of the said bed.

"…What's going on in here?" He'd asked as soon as he came face to face with the culprit.

Sasuke looked up from his cell at the entrance of his roommate and declared in a nonchalant tone. "Remodelling."

"Remodelling how exactly? By getting rid of my bed?"

"Our beds, Dobe, look carefully."

Naruto raised a fine brow not liking what he was hearing. "Sasuke, I'm too exhausted for this right now, wherever my bed is, please bring it back, I'm just barely holding myself not to fall to the ground."

Sasuke closed his cell and frowned. "That will be a problem, since the new bed will not arrive until ten this evening. Why not go sleep in Gaara's room if you're so tired?"

"Before I go ask him such a favour, care to explain to me why you're remodelling the room?"

Sasuke shrugged, running a hand through his hair. "No reason, I just felt like it. Seeing the same furniture for the past six months was irritating me, so, I'm changing it."

"Why couldn't you just change your own? I'm pretty comfortable with mine."

"It wouldn't be called remodelling if I only changed my own bed, now would it? And stop being so noisy about it, just go ask Gaara, he won't say no."

Naruto sighed and dropped his backpack on the empty floor. "I don't even know if he's in or not."

"Yes, he is. He passed by a few minutes ago asking for you."

"He was asking for me?"

The raven nodded, walking closer to Naruto. "Yes he was. And it's interesting me of what he would be wanting from you. Any suggestions?"

At the flashback of last time they met and the plan he was forced into, Naruto sweat-dropped and shook his head, denying any knowledge that may be glued to his name.

"Are you sure?"

"…Y-Yes…there's nothing."

Sasuke raised a brow at the other teen, and putting his cell in his pocket, he came extra close than needed to the blond, forcing him to back against the wall. "Tell me then, why do I not believe you?"

"I don't know, ask yourself."

"Uzumaki," Sasuke put one hand behind Naruto on the wall, closing his only route for escape. "You'll find out that I don't deal well with lies."

"And I don't deal well with threats, Uchiha!" The blond glared back.

Their eyes released sparks and for a period of one minute and forty seconds, all they did was stare at each other without looking away. Finally, Naruto's eyes gave up on him, reminding him of the fatigue they were harbouring and his features broke into a cute pout, in which Sasuke was taken aback with.

"Sasuke, I really have no idea what he wants from me, and I'm too tired right now to think of anything, my muscles are failing me…please, let's save all of this for later! I'll quarrel with you as much as you want when I wake up, so for now, let me go sleep~!"

At the big puppy dog eyes that were turning glassy to him, Sasuke sighed and dropped his demanding behaviour. "Fine…go sleep before you die out on me."

Naruto nodded, making his way towards the door after having Sasuke lower his hand so he could pass there. Yet, before he could make his way to the said exit, his hands were held and he was twirled back into Sasuke's arms.

"You forgot something."

Sasuke made sure to imprint himself on Naruto's lips before he let go, and that desire of his was achieved with a hazy looking Naruto particularly falling into his feet. He smirked and held the blond up against his chest.

"Easy there, we don't want you to pass out."

"…Umm…Sasuke, need to sleep…energy zero."

Rolling his eyes, the raven shushed the other up and pulled him out of their room. It wasn't such a faraway walk, just fifteen steps to the staircase, then half a turn into Gaara and Neji's room. Sasuke knocked the door and frowned at the long haired raven.

"I need to borrow your bed."

Without asking, Neji stepped inside, allowing the other to walk in behind him. Naruto was placed carefully on one of the fancy looking beds available on the spacious room and tucked carefully.

"It's disgusting seeing you act so friendly, what's become of the world?"

"You're the last person I want to hear that from. Where's Gaara?"

"What do you want with him?"

Sasuke snorted. "Relax, no one is looking to snatch him from you. You two freaks deserve each other. I just want to know what he wants with Naruto."

"And you're calling him by his given name. Will it rain cats and dogs tomorrow or what?"

"I thought your motto was 'nothing's impossible'."

The long haired raven pulled a hair tie from the left drawer beside his TV-set and pulled his annoying locks into place, frowning momentarily when he noticed the absence of one of his rings, but shrugged it off for him forgetting it somewhere and stopped thinking about it. Alock fell into his face when he turned, causing him to puff it off. It wasn't that he disliked his silky locks, on the contrary – they were his life written in wool, but when it got this hot, they would tend to deform into a problem. And he learned to raise that problem up with a ring.

"That, my dear Sasuke, doesn't apply to you. And Gaara is at the supermarket, will be back in five minutes. You said he needed something from Naruto but you don't know what it is?"

"Correct."

"When did you become so close to him? I don't remember you caring this much about your ex-roommates, in fact, you would've thrown one of them in the ocean without a care…oh wait, you actually did!"

Sasuke rolled his eyes and started standing up but was stopped when a tan hand held into his shirt, "It's none of your business. Now, shut that trap of yours, before you wake him up!"

Neji raised a fine brow at the way Sasuke so carefully took hold of Naruto's fingers to unhook them from his clothes and was able to stand up to proceed out of the room, apparently giving a silent 'no' as an answer to Neji's question of whether he'll be waiting for the redhead or not.

The Med-student just smirked to the sleeping blond.

"There might be more to you than meets the eyes, Uzumaki Naruto."

"To whom?"

"Sweetheart~ you're back!" Neji's face released a joyful beam. "Did you get the chocolate milk I ordered?"

A passive looking Gaara nodded, closing the door behind him. "They didn't have the kind you liked, so I went to the new supermarket on street forty, you know it?"

Neji scowled remembering the huge, newly-build supermarket. "That's a faraway one, why did you go all the way there?"

The redhead looked at the other as if he was deaf. "I just told you. They didn't have your favourite."

"Yes, I heard you the first time around. I'm asking why you went there; you could've gotten me another one."

"I didn't know if you'd drink another one."

Neji hopped from his bed and went over to the redhead. "Yes, I would. If there's one thing Medicine has taught me, it's how to be a flexible human being. Anyway, give it to me."

Ruffling through their joint grocery, Gaara got out the small chocolate milk packet; he took one and gave it to his roommate whilst the others went into their little fridge. He spent five minutes arranging everything into its rightful place then he looked back to the room and his right invisible brow was raised.

"What is he doing here?"

"Sasuke brought him. He didn't give me any details about him, but he wants to talk to you. Which reminds me, what do you have with this boy that I don't know about?"

"Nothing much."

"Then tell me."

Gaara blinked and tilted his head. "Why? It's nothing important really, and it doesn't concern you."

"Yes it doesn't, but it concerns you so I wa-"

"No, it doesn't."

"Excuse me?"

"It doesn't really concern me, either. I was just asked for help, in a business he wants, and I gave it. I can't tell you of what the business he wanted with me was, but I can tell you of what I want from him right now, I went to ask about him because I wanted to learn if the advice I gave had paid off or not."

"And did it?"

"You said that Sasuke brought him here, how was he acting?"

"Abnormally…kind." Neji shuddered at the word, "I seriously think that he might be coming down with something."

"Then it's all good with the world."

The raven furrowed his brows together, adding two into two. "Gaara, was the advice you gave related to Sasuke by any means?"

"I can't say."

"Then it is. Did he want to get along with Sasuke or get another room to change with?"

Gaara ignored the question and headed towards his closet, giving his roommate last words. "As I said, I can't tell you anything related to his business. And if you have nothing else, I want to take a bath, since it was hot and the long walk made me sweat like hell."

Neji's features turned to a lovely scowl, and he released in a bored tone. "Gaara, you're no fun!"

"And you have fun enough for the two of us."

With that the raven was left to his own, plus a sleeping blond that he felt a tendency to smack awake and have all of the words and syllables that Gaara was holding hostage from him, released.

Neji groused.
