While Naruto returned to the party out back Sasuke had found Kiba getting drunk by the pool side.

"So you think they dated?" He asked the intoxicated dog lover whom just shrugged.

"He would have *hiccupped* told me! But then again there's allot of s-*hiccup*ecrets about that asswhole!" The teen then burped and stood up. He jumped into the pool without warning, splashing the raven and other passerby's.

"Agh!" Sasuke grunted over his soaked clothes.

"Where's that swim suit bastard?"

The raven jumped at the amused voice until he looked up to see his affection towering over him with that famous grin.

"I-In Sakura's bag … I think" He stuttered while the older teen helped him up.

After an awkward moment of starring they both left to find Sakura over by Lee. She gave them his swim trunks out of her bag and they headed off to the bathroom.

Naruto had given him a towel from the nearby rack to dry off with before he changed. He then waited outside the door patiently.

Sasuke returned wearing the fitted navy swim trunks with his own symbol on either cheek side. His face flashed a bright pink when he received whistles and clapping from the older teen.

"Really dobe?"

"Hell yeah! Now you're ready." He said as he walked over to the confused raven and picked him up bridal style.

Sasuke clung onto him out of shock and eyed the spontaneous male.

"P-Put me down!" He panicked and he held on tighter.

"Nope, remember what I told you?" Naruto hinted while walking towards backdoor and out to the pool area.

Sasuke put two and two together as his eyes widened in horror.

"No, no, no, no!"

While he was saying no, no, no his holder was saying, "Oh yes, yes, yes, yes!"

He ran up to the pool with the teen in his arms and tossed the boy in, but since the raven's hold was to strong he was forced into the pool as well.

They were greeted with amused faces and laughter when they surfaced.

Naruto spat out water in a fountain like motion as Sasuke glared at him

"What? I keep my promises."

The response he got was countless splashes to the face.

"SPLASH FIGHT!" someone shouted resulting in a whole bunch of people jumping in causing the raven to lose sight of his target.

He felt something tickle his side for sec until he suddenly rose out of the water on Naruto's shoulders with a feeble shriek.

The blonde laughed at the adorable sound and adjusted the teen on top.

"Ready for this?" He asked with his sun kissed locks plastered on his face.

Sasuke laughed harder than he'd ever done his life.

"I haven't been ready for any of this!"

"Good!" Sakura appeared in front them on lee's shoulders with a giant smile.

"Are you ready for a youthful battle Naruto!" lee announced aloud.

"Of course I am bushy brow!"

"Nobody calls him that dobe, it's on!" Sakura defended playfully.

"Well nobody calls him dobe but me!" Sasuke joined in on the defense.

And so the game of Chicken (or Shoulder Wars) begins with Naruto and lee charging at each other stopping inches away to let Sakura and Sasuke battle it out.

They went on till Sasuke and Naruto eventually won by knocking Sakura off lee.

The party god cheered with the rest until he went back under water to let his partner off his shoulders. The raven looked around for the blond because he didn't resurface instantly.

"Boo!" he whispered in the young teen's ear making him jolt a bit and turn around splashing.

"Idiot!" Sasuke shouted, completely flushed. He was then surprised by a sudden embrace from the older male.

"Thank you for coming." Naruto said gratefully against the other.

Everyone was wrapped up in their own thing except Sai whom was watching blankly from out of the pool.

"Of course, Naruto."

The party teen leaned a few inches away to look down into the alluring onyx in his arms. Carried away in the moment he brushed his own lost lips over the younger male's thinner ones.

Sasuke blindly returned the long awaited kiss and wrapped his arms around the others neck in a natural sense.

Everyone, except Sai, let out an up roar of approval.

The kiss got a little more heated when tongue action took place.

"Whoa, get a room! Get. A. Room! Get. A. Room!" A random guest started chanting getting the others to join along in the banter.

Naruto broke the kiss from hearing the outcry and blushed a little embarrassed himself. The teen in his arms had a dreamy look on his face therefore not hearing a damn thing. He had to lead the raven out of the pool and back to the house where they were stopped by Sai standing in the doorway.

"Wow…you really did move up to screwing upper class bitches. Congrats!" The jealous teen clapped slowly.

Sasuke awoke from his daze and glowered at the insult.

"Pardon me?" He stepped up into the unwavering teen's face.

The blonde tried to pull him back while saying, "Ignore him, he's just being a bitch himself."

"What the hell is your problem Sai? I don't even know you!"

"Naruto don't you want to tell him?" Sai grinned with malice towards the blonde.

"I use to date him okay? But I only did it because he reminded me of you. So I broke it off and he's still butt hurt about it." Naruto admitted with a roll of his eyes.

Sasuke chuckled darkly and looked over Sai with the comment of, "How the hell did this filth remind you of me?"

Naruto shrugged saying, "I have no damn idea."

"We dated and we fucked for your information, so don't flatter yourself. If he truly was dating me for you then I must be deaf because every night all I could hear was my name. It wasn't until that football game that he found out that a certain rich prick might actually have the 'hots' for him. After that he decided he'd try a different piece of ass only to find out he was signing up to be a lapdog. So good luck with being the new house pet Naruto! And god help you Sasuke for when you try to put a leash on him...he has quite a bite. " Sai cooed before strutting pass the two with a wink at the blonde.

"What the fuck is he talking about?" Sasuke crossed his arms and watched the rude teen disappear back into the crowd.

"Sasuke if I went to a college here would you stay?" the blond asked as worry sunk in. He hoped that that would be the case because he had actually intended on bringing back his dad's old car shop instead but he'd give that up if he had to.

The raven turned back to the other and frowned. He couldn't stay here since there was a really good college in another state he'd already been accepted into due to his outstanding achievements reaching their ears.

"I can't….but that shouldn't stop us right?"

"Yeah its okay I guess... I'm just not one for long distance relationships especially one that doesn't have to be one. What's wrong with the colleges down here anyway?"

"Because they're not really difficult to get into Naruto. I mean Konoha College is practically for idiots." Sasuke blurted out in a joking sense which resulted in a fake laugh and a hurt expression from the blond.

"Oh my god Naruto I didn't me-"

"No it's fine I get it. Even if I were to try to get into your college I basically wouldn't have a chance right?" He cut the raven off and walked past him into the house to the kitchen area to get a much needed drink.

"Naruto seriously," Sasuke begged as he followed the teen inside, "it's not like that! I had no ide-"

"If you did have an idea since you're apparently full of them and I'm not, would you still think I'm stupid?" Naruto snapped in blind anger while opening a can of beer without looking back.

"I-"

"Be honest."

"Yes! If that's what you want to hear then yes! But Naruto you're not stupid and I didn't mean it that way!" Sasuke tried to reach the blond only for him to jerk away.

"The dumber they are the easier it is to control right?"

"NO! Where the hell is this coming from?! I'm not like that at all! Stop drinking and talk to me!" With confused grief in his voice he attempted to take the drink from the unsteady older teen.

"Oh so now you're trying to tell me what to do? I'm not your fucking dog you spoiled fag." He blurted out before he could even comprehend what he'd just said.

Sasuke stared with a mixture appalment and hurt on his face before slapping the older teen.

The blonde soon rose a fist to strike the raven back but stopped when he saw the evading tears pouring from the betrayed onyx.

"Shit, Sasuke I'm so sorr-"

"Forget it…. Thanks for inviting the spoiled fag to your party." He hissed out through choked anger and then ran off to the bathroom to grab his things.

"Sasuke, Sasuke I'm sorry! Please don-"

"Save it! Just leave me alone!" He pushed pass the blonde with tears blurring his vision. Heading back to the pool area he had to put up with stares and questions from the other guests.

Sakura looked up from her make out session with lee to see her distraught friend. She grabbed her bag and left with a kiss on her man's forehead to find out what was wrong.

"Sasuke are you oka-" she faltered when she noticed the stream. Cupping his face in her hand she asked urgently, "What the hell happened?"

Sai walked by and commented with a twisted like voice saying, "His dumbass tried to put a leash on a pit."

Sakura retaliated on instinct and shoved the teen into the pool earning laughs amongst the easily amused crowd. When she returned back to her bawling friend Naruto was making his way over to them. She glared him down knowing he was the only one that could make the raven cry like this.

"What did you do?!"

"We had an argument and I-"

"Take me home please!" Sasuke broke down even more as he gripped his jacket to his body.

Sakura nodded and stormed out with her distressed friend.

When they left without a word to anyone Naruto ended the party right then and there. He kept on his swim shorts and grabbed his orange hoodie with his flip-flops.

Kiba, Shikamaru and Choji were in charge of getting everyone out while he hopped in his car to follow Sakura. Now that it was raining it was twice as difficult to tell her vehicle from another but he managed.

He followed them to a dark blue two story home that must have been Sasuke's house. There he waited on the curve till she left. An hour at least had passed before the girl came out. When she was gone he got out of his car into the pouring rain and climbed up the pipe line on the side of the house onto what he guessed was Sasuke's balcony since the lights were still on.

Losing his footing he fell onto the cold wet surface of the balcony floor making a loud plopping sound just as the lights turned off.

Sasuke had taken a bath earlier and switched to his white buttoned shirt and black boxers for the night. He was now crying on his bed and clutching his covers to his burning eyes when he heard the noise. He sat up instantly with eyes casted to the double glass doors to his balcony.

Lightning struck and the shadow of a man appeared making the raven scream and grab his gun his brother had given to him, hidden in the drawer of the night stand.

He slowly got off his bed with the gun raised at the twin doors. Slowly he walked over and opened it to see the soaked hooded figure.

"W-Who are you?!" the raven stuttered out over the pouring rain as the guy slid the hood back revealing dampened blond hair and regretful cerulean.
