Shikamaru - 7

Sakura - 8

Naruto: Why did you give me your number? You want to harass me outside of work now, too?

Sasuke: You didn't have to use it. Idiot. But now I will, yes.

Naruto: I didn't say I was against it, asshole.

Sasuke: I wouldn't mind you being against me.

Naruto: Wait, what? Why would you want me against you on this?

Naruto: Never mind, I got it.

Naruto: Don't ignore me, you buttfuck.

Sasuke: Yes, please.

"Would I be a horrible person if I slept with my boss?"

The reactions were funny, Naruto had to admit. Sakura choked on her coffee and almost sent some flying from her nose, Kiba's jaw was hanging open, Lee was looking excited for him, and Shikamaru still didn't look shocked at what was transpiring between the two.

"Just don't flaunt it around," Sakura warned.

"Yeah," Kiba said. "We know you, so we're not worried about it, but if someone hears about it they'll think you'll be treated special in the workplace."

"And don't have sex on my desk," Shikamaru said.

Naruto grinned. "Well now that you told me not to do it, now I have to do it." The lazy man just sighed in regret of saying anything at all.

Asuma walked up to the group, the two hats in each of his hands. "As much fun as it is to listen to you guys chat about sexual relations with your asshole boss, draw your dares so I can get my entertainment for the day." A contemplative look crossed his face. "Wow, that's really sad. That this is the highlight of each day."

Snickering at the older man, they tugged the hats away from him and set them down. Naruto steeled himself and darted his hand inside, took hold of a slip, and read it. And sighed; another one with Mr. Uchiha. The hat was doing this on purpose.

No one else drew from the target hat either, so today should be pretty entertaining if everyone but Naruto had attention-drawing tasks. They crumbled the slips of paper, finished eating and drinking whatever they had for that morning, and tossed the papers into the trash can on the way out of the coffee shop.

On the way up in the elevator, Shikamaru had gotten a piece of paper out and was writing what looked like a list. Sakura was leaning towards it to get a better view. "That's everyone on our floor. Rated out of ten. For what?"

Shikamaru shrugged. "It didn't say. So I'm just writing down random numbers. It has to go up outside my cubicle."

"That's going to drive people crazy all day, trying to figure out what the rating is over," Kiba said, laughing. Naruto smirked; indeed it would.

The elevator doors opened and Hinata was waiting for them. At the sight of Kiba, she smiled. "Something happened with the girl's night out tonight. Do you want to go out to eat, someplace nice?"

"Hey hey hey, that sounds great, hun, I'll think of a place we can go." She briefly looked confused at his greeting, as were the rest of them, but she brushed it off, nodded, and went back to her cubicle.

"What the hell was that?" Naruto asked. Kiba just sighed.

"Don't ask."

Sakura sighed as she leafed through her files, not able to find the one she was looking for. She needed to have it handed in to Mr. Uchiha by lunch and yesterday she gave it to—oh. She got up and went over to Kakashi's cubicle, passing by Neji's on the way. He was wearing the fez she gave him after he asked to have it. She shook her her in wonder.

Thankfully Kakashi was there at the moment. "John, I need the files I handed you yesterday."

He looked up at her, his one visible eye crinkling in confusion. "What?"

"The file," she repeated. "I gave it to you yesterday. Did you look it over?"

"I did, yes, but I was more concerned with what you just called me. My name is not John."

She looked at him for a while, trying her best to look annoyed. "I don't have time to learn everyone's names, it's easier to just call you John."

"You knew my name yesterday..."

"Just give me the file, please."

Naruto was busy trying to twist paper clips in a certain way so that they bounced very high up after being dropped on the desk. He was very busy, indeed. More like he was putting off his visit to Mr. Uchiha's office.

"Just tell me what the list means!" He rolled his chair back to look outside his cubicle, and he saw Ino outside Shikamaru's cubicle, jabbing her finger at the list he had taped up and glaring inside.

"It's a secret."

"Bullcrap it's a secret, if it was a secret it wouldn't be here for everyone on the floor to see! This better not be based off looks, because I am not a 5, I'd definitely be a 10."

"It's a secret," he repeated. Ino let out a frustrated sound and was about to tear the list down. "I'll just put it back up," he warned her. She let her arm drop and stormed off, Naruto ducking back into his cubicle before she saw him; she was still upset with him over the kiss.

"John, the boss wants to see you." That was Sakura. At the name, he could practically feel Ino's rage rolling off her.

"If you call me 'John' one more time I'm ripping your tongue out." By now he was laughing behind his hand, trying to keep quiet so the very pissed off blonde woman wouldn't hear, and Sakura and him shared a satisfied look.

He was about to get up to go to the boss' office when the boss himself left, and Kiba left his cubicle, a folder in hand. "Hey hey hey," he heard his best friend say, "I was just about to give you these to look over. Hey hey hey, when do you want me to bring them to you?"

Sasuke just looked at the brunette, looking pretty bewildered. "Just... give them to me now, I'm only going to get more coffee."

"Hey hey hey, okay sir, thanks."

"Kiba?"

"Hey hey hey, yes?"

"Why are you doing that?"

Kiba must have sensed the man was getting annoyed, since he responded with a sheepish shrug. Ino—or John, depending on who you asked—watched, a grin on her face.

"Stop doing it." With that, he took the folder from Kiba's hands and left. Naruto sighed, sitting back down at his desk; he had a few more minutes then, before he went to go see him.

After a while, he heard Ino greet Mr. Uchiha as he came back, and a grunt as he barely acknowledged her and went inside his office. Naruto got up and walked through the office to the boss' door, noticing Ino was looking pretty pouty. Oh well. He knocked, and a bored voice from the other side told him to enter.

He closed the door and the raven looked up, his face going from blank to surprised. "Well, well, if it isn't you." He was already smirking, and Naruto needed to do the task before the boss started to do something that may distract him.

"I have something important to talk about. Work-related," he said in his most serious voice.

"Continue."

"Well... ah... do you know what I like about Japan?" he asked, and Sasuke gave him a flat, 'this has to do with what?' look. "Their vending machines. I mean their vending machines you can buy this awesome shit like living crabs, hot food and drinks, even panties. I'm here to request that this office implement a panty vending machine."

The boss was silent as he twirled a pen in his fingers. The silence stretched. And then, finally, "Naruto, you're gay. Or do you like roleplaying as a school girl or something? Because..." he got up, letting the pen drop to his desk, and was in front of Naruto in a few strides, "I could get into that."

The blond forgot about his task. "No!" he spluttered. "I don't wear panties, what the fuck?!"

"Hn. Then why else would a gay man ask for a panty vending machine?"

Naruto tried his best, he really did. "For Sakura."

"... for Sakura," Sasuke repeated, deadpan.

"Yes. Poor girl was too embarrassed to ask you herself."

The boss exhaled loudly and ran a hand through his hair. "I'll ignore this, Naruto. I'll ignore that you and your group of friends have been doing odd things the past few days, because frankly, I don't feel like dealing with any of it. Just don't do anything too stupid."

Naruto flushed at having being caught. At least he stopped thinking he wore panties. "Like you don't do stupid things," he muttered under his breath. He was going to nod and turn to leave the office when his arm was caught in the other man's grip.

"I didn't catch that. Care to repeat?"

"Not really, no."

Sasuke pushed him against a wall and leaned forward, his mouth right by his ear. "What did you say?" he urged, taking the blond's earlobe between his teeth and flicked his tongue over it. Oh Zeus, Naruto thought, his thoughts beginning to scramble.

"You were talking about stupid things," Naruto said. He really hoped he didn't sound as breathy as he thought he sounded. "What about this?" His breath hitched when he nibbled his ear.

"And you said you weren't against it." At the word 'against,' he pressed his body to Naruto's, pinning the other man against the wall.

"Fuck it," the younger man mumbled and reached up to turn Sasuke's face towards his, smashing their mouths together in a hungry kiss. Hands explored each other's clothed chests as their tongues slid against each other, and Naruto couldn't help the small moan that escaped from his mouth.

"Mr. Uchiha," came Ino's voice from the phone on Sasuke's desk. Naruto has never wanted to hurt someone so badly before, but Sasuke ignored it and kept assaulting his employee's lips instead. "Mr. Uchiha," she tried again, "your brother is on line one, he said it's urgent."

Sasuke tore away from Naruto with an annoyed curse. "Another time," he promised, before going over to his desk to take the call. Naruto straightened his shirt and waited until he looked presentable, gave his boss a wink, who smirked in response, and left.

"How did he kiss?" Sakura whispered over the lunch room table, eyes wide.

"Fantastic," he answered, pretty sure he had a goofy grin on his face at the moment.

"Lee, did you even do your dare yet?" Kiba interrupted. Now that he mentioned it, what was Lee's dare?

"I have not. I can do it now!" He bolted up from his chair, ignoring Naruto and Sakura asking him what it was, and went to the middle of the cafeteria.

"I want to share my youth with all of you," he shouted, spreading his arms. The cafeteria got quiet and Naruto felt embarrassed for him, though Lee probably didn't care at all. "By singing! Feel free to join me!" Shikamaru groaned, and Lee began.

"Oh say can you see, by the dawn's early light..."

Faint laughter could be heard passing through the room, which Lee still ignored while he belted out the lyrics quite enthusiastically. Then things got weirder as he paused briefly to run back to the table and jumped up on it dramatically.

"And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air..."

Finally he was done, and he bowed to the smattering of applause. Naruto noticed Sasuke had entered the room and was torn between looking amused and looking annoyed. Instead he got out his phone, did something, and gave Naruto a significant look. The blond got out his phone, and sure enough, there was a text:

Sasuke: After work, dinner and my place.
