Word explanation: "comfort noise"
Comfort noise is a synthetic background noise to fill the silence of the audio clarity of modern digital lines.

"I'm just trying to rewrite the wrongs that were written on me."
Sasuke'd said that to him after they'd finally arrived at Naruto's room. They'd fallen asleep almost immediately after going to bed.
When his alarm had gone off in the morning, the black haired teen hadn't been there anymore, hadn't even left a trace behind. But that was what he did, Naruto knew him.

He couldn't focus on the prof's words because he couldn't get Sasuke's off his mind.

"Naruto, are you okay?", Hinata asked all of a sudden.
She was sitting next to him and had probably noticed that he wasn't paying any attention.
"You seem worried. And your face…"

He shrugged his shoulders in response and smiled at her.
"It's nothing really, I'm just a little tired I guess."

She wasn't buying it at all, but decided to let the topic slip if he didn't want to talk about it.
"Just look after yourself", Hinata advised.

"Don't worry. It's fine."

"So… are you coming to Kiba's party tonight or…?"
Naruto would never understand how she could be so shy when she really had no reason for it. She was a beautiful and friendly girl. There was nothing about her one couldn't like.

"Uh, I don't know yet. Technically I have to study for my exams but I guess Kiba would be mad at me if I didn't come."

"Everyone's going to be there. He even got Shikamaru to agree on coming."
Shikamaru was such a lazy pothead. If even he said he'd come, everyone would be there and there was no way he could refuse. He wondered if they'd invited Sasuke. Kiba hated him, but getting Sasuke to come meant girls, basically all of them. They all hoped to get to talk to him, but nothing more ever happened, no matter how hot they were. He always played the unreachable, which only made them want him more. Naruto had never seen him with anyone though. Technically he should still be a virgin then, but they'd never talked about that topic before.
"Naruto?"

"Huh? Sorry, got carried away. Guess I'll be there, too then! Also, can I copy your notes? I haven't listened to one single word today."

"Of course. You can borrow them until tonight."

"Thanks."
She was such a nice girl, but she was off limits. Kiba'd had his eyes on her for months and things were slowly developing between the two. Plus, Naruto really didn't want to get into a conflict with her overprotective cousin. Neji was intimidating.

After the lecture, he returned to his room so he could at least copy the notes before he'd have to leave for the party, only to find Sasuke waiting there for him. He wondered why he'd even given him the key, but then he remembered that it was because he'd broken into his room too many times before.
"Can't stand a day without seeing me, huh?", the blonde mocked.

"Shut up."

"Well, you must be fun at parties. Speaking of parties, you coming tonight?"

"As if I have a choice. But Shika's gonna be there, so at least there'll be weed."
He shrugged.

"You're one to complain. At least you've got all the hot girls trying to get close to you."

"I am really not interested in any of those superficial bitches."

"That was harsh! But why? Some of them are really nice."

"I'm just not interested", he hissed, seemingly annoyed at the blonde.

"Alright, fine. Just give me a few minutes to copy some notes and then we can talk."

"I'm not here to talk. I was just bored in my room and figured it would be more fun to hang out here."
Sasuke would never admit that he couldn't stand his own room sometimes. It was just so dark in there. His window faced the inner courtyard of campus which basically made it impossible for the sun to shine into his room. Naruto's room on the other hand was always brightly lit and he'd spent so much time arranging things in there to make it more comfortable, while Sasuke's was basically empty except for his desk, bed and wardrobe. There were no posters on his wall or anything. That's why he just enjoyed staying here and the blonde didn't mind.

While Naruto sat at his desk Sasuke couldn't help but wonder how he managed to always look so good. You almost couldn't tell that they've had a fight the night before. Sure, he looked really tired, but apart from that, nothing about him gave it away. Sasuke on the other hand had a black eye and chapped lips, although Sui had helped him cover that with make-up earlier. It also didn't help that his whole body hurt. He was used to his body aching, but this was different because he hadn't done this himself, so he had no control over it. Did Naruto even hurt? Had he even hit him? Judging from the blonde's movements he hadn't really left an impression on him, which almost disappointed him.

"You checking me out?"

"What if I was?"
That, Naruto hadn't expected, so he couldn't think of a good comeback. Awkward silence followed.

After arriving at the party, they split paths though. Naruto fist bumped Kiba as a greeting and they soon started drinking together, while Sasuke joined Shikamaru on the balcony.
"Yo, Ske", he was greeted lazily.

"Hn. Still too lazy to pronounce my whole name, huh?"

"It's not because I'm lazy, it's just because I don't care."

They didn't need many words, that was what Sasuke enjoyed about Shikamaru. Among other people you're normally forced to talk, not with him though.
Shikamaru offered Sasuke his joint, which he wouldn't deny and they spent the next 10 minutes smoking in silence. They were interrupted though when Ino stumbled through the door.

"How troublesome…"

"Saaaaaaaaasuke! So glad to see you", she exclaimed, hugging him.

"Yeah, whatever", he mumbled, shoving her away.

"Guess I'll be going inside then. You coming, Sasuke?", Shikamaru offered.
Of course, he was. There was no way he'd stay alone here with Ino. Although going inside probably only meant jumping out of the frying pan into the fire, since he assumed the girls were already waiting for him to arrive. It was unusual that he'd made it to the balcony without being noticed when they'd arrived.

Inside, Naruto lay on the table, shirt off, and people were taking shots off him without using their hands.
"What the…?"

"Troublesome…"

It made Sasuke way angrier than it should have, seeing Naruto like that. But he'd always had this tendency to grow really possessive over the people that were close to him. In the end that was the reason he was single. His ex had left him because of it and it made perfect sense to him now, even though it hadn't back then. But he'd thought he'd left that behind.

"You okay?", Shikamaru inquired.

"Yeah, everything's fine. Just a little stoned probably", he answered and he wasn't even lying, the weed had affected him.

"Come on! Let's join them!"
Ino grabbed his hand and dragged him towards Naruto. If there was anything Sasuke didn't want right now, it certainly was this. But just before Ino could force him into the situation another girl came to his rescue. She grabbed Sasuke's free hand and pulled him towards her.

"Sorry, gotta borrow him for a while", she told Ino, who let go off his hand in shock.

She simply pulled him out of Kiba's front door and around the corner, so they could talk a little without any disruptions. Kiba was one of those people whose parents lived so close to campus that he still lived with them. And when they were out of town, which was pretty often, he'd always throw these parties and invite basically everyone who'd fit inside.

"Thanks for saving me there, Sui. Second time today…"

"You look pretty stoned", she remarked, not taking up what he'd said before.

"What else would I have smoked that weed for?"

"I hate when you do this", she said, looking him in the eyes.

He tried really hard to seem unaffected by her words, but he really wasn't.
"It's none of your business anymore", he spat at her.

"Don't do this to me, Sasuke."
Sui's words hit him right in his heart, but he couldn't show it. He could do anything to himself, but hurting someone so close to him was not what he wanted. Although that always seemed to happen when people cared about him. It was the same with Naruto.

"Look, I'm not yours anymore. Thanks for your help earlier and now, I really appreciate that, but that's it, okay? The rest is my business", he told her, trying to sound as cold as possible.

Sui knew him way better than to buy it, but she had to let the topic rest for now. He'd talk to her if he wanted to, but she was so worried about him. She knew him far too well, they'd been through so much shit together. Although she'd left him because of his possessiveness, she still felt for him, while he'd obviously moved on. And now she'd rather be friends with him and get hurt along the way than lose him completely.

"You look gorgeous tonight, Sui", Sasuke broke the silence. He knew that last one had been too much.

"Don't. Please don't do this to me."
And at that, she left him where he was standing.

"Bummer, huh?", a voice asked from above.

"Shika, you dirty voyeur!"
Sasuke spun around and looked up to the window Shikamaru was watching him from.

"You didn't even do anything dirty."

"Still no reason to be so nosy!"
That guy really didn't seem to have any shame when he was stoned enough.

"That ass though. You wouldn't be able to tell that there's a boy underneath that dress."

"Mind joining me down here for another smoke?"
Sasuke quickly changed the topic.

"Nice suggestion. I'll be there in a sec."
It took him way longer than that, but Sasuke enjoyed every minute he could spend outside and didn't have to go inside. He was ready to go home already, but it was unwritten law that you spent at least two hours at parties.

"For how long are you planning to stay?", Shikamaru asked, lighting his joint and taking a deep drag afterwards.

"Dunno. Another hour or so. Can't leave when I've only gotten here."

"True that", he exhaled and passed the joint to Sasuke.
They continued to smoke in silence, only the sound of the party inside functioning as comfort noise.

The party actually didn't suck as much as it could have. When they'd gone inside, a few really nice girls had started battling for Sasuke's attention, which he found really entertaining by now.
Shikamaru had started talking to Sui after they'd gone back inside. Naruto was nowhere to be seen though and it was really unnerving to Sasuke, so he went looking for him, abandoning the girls, probably cutting one of them off mid-sentence, but he couldn't care less.

Finding Naruto with Sakura basically glued to his face in a corner of the balcony though was too much for him to take for some reason. Not even thinking about how he'd be able to explain this later, he approached them, shoved the pink-haired girl aside and took her place on Naruto's lips. The taste of vodka spread on Sasuke's tongue as he started exploring the blonde's mouth with it. Had he even noticed it was him? He seemed really drunk, he probably didn't even notice much anymore. The raven haired teen couldn't care less at the moment, because he was certainly enjoying this long and intense kiss. Sakura could only stand next to them and watch in shock, while Kiba filmed the whole scenario.

"Maaaan, that's some hot shit right here", he exclaimed excitedly and that made Sasuke break the kiss. Naruto was now looking him right into the eyes, but he didn't react to the fact that it was his friend in front of him instead of Sakura, so Sasuke took his chance and leaned into him again, only to whisper something in his ear.
"You. Me. Your Room. Now."
His tone was far too demanding to deny him, so Naruto let himself be taken away by the black haired teen. Just as Sakura wanted to protest, Sasuke turned to her, looked her into the eyes and shushed her.

"Ooooooh! Ruuuuude!"
Kiba was way too excited about it all. Plus, he was still filming the whole thing, but Sasuke really didn't care about that now. He simply took Naruto away from the party with him.

On the way to Naruto's room it had become clear to him just how drunk the blonde actually was. Drunk enough to be proper fucking material, but way too drunk for it to be okay. But he hadn't yet decided if he was going to care about that tonight.

When he threw Naruto on his bed, he really didn't know if he'd be able to resist, but his phone vibrating in his pocket snapped him out of it.
"What?", he hissed.

"Just don't do anything stupid, okay?", Sui told him.

"How the fuck do you know about this?"

"Everyone knows by now. It's on YouTube…"

"It's what?", he asked in shock. It wasn't as if he hadn't understood Sui, but he couldn't comprehend it.

"…on YouTube. The whole university knows."

"God, I'm gonna kill that dog face!"
Kiba had taken things too far this time, he was going to pay for it.

"I'm heading back to the party now", he shouted into his phone and stormed out of Naruto's room, only to crash into Sui, who fell on her back painfully.

"Ow…"

"Shit, sorry. Are you okay?"
He offered his hand to help her to her feet again.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just making sure that you're not doing stupid things. Let's get you back inside."
She grabbed him and forcefully pushed him back into Naruto's room and onto his bed next to the boy who'd already fallen asleep by now. She was so strong, although you really couldn't tell it from her appearance.

Sasuke was fuming, but Sui's hand on his shoulder held him down long enough for him to regain his composure.
"Do you want another one?", she asked, caressing the area right under his eye, where the make-up had already started to wear off.
Sasuke flinched at the touch.

"As if Kiba would even get the chance to hit me!"

"I wasn't talking about Kiba", she explained and a grin formed on Sasuke's face.

"You're really one in a million. Sometimes I wonder why I've let you go at all."

Sui could tell that Sasuke was slowly coming down. Weed really did some good things for him, but coming down was the worst. It was basically like all happiness was drained from him again and he always seemed a little worse than before because of the extreme contrast between high and low.

"Let's get you somewhere else. Naruto's out already anyway", Sui suggested, although she wasn't leaving the decision to Sasuke, but simply took his hand and made him follow her.
He felt so weak in her hands. Had it always been like this between them? He really couldn't remember.

"I was ready to take advantage of the situation", he mumbled on their way.

"I know, I know."
Sui was probably the only one who'd console him instead of slap his face in this kind of situation, because she understood him. At the end, she always did.

"You stay here tonight. And don't you get this wrong", she warned when they'd reached her room.

"I really wouldn't dare", Sasuke answered. He was crestfallen, the down had hit him really hard by now, but there was never a guarantee that there wouldn't be another mood swing.

Sui didn't have a problem undressing before Sasuke's eyes. He'd seen this a million times before during their relationship.
"Hey, those are new", he remarked as Sui took off her bra.

"Yes, pretty cool, huh? They stay in place even without the bra, I saved money for them for years."
She took of the silicon breasts and put them away.

"So, Sui back in the closet and Suigetsu here with me again?", Sasuke asked.

"Yes. Back to being Suigetsu. Feels better around you."

"I really don't know whether to take this as a compliment or not."

"Me neither", Suigetsu laughed.
For a moment he really enjoyed the intimacy he and Sasuke shared, but he knew it was wrong and interpreting too much into it would only get him hurt again. This was only Sasuke on a down trying to get him to agree to something that wouldn't end well.
But he wasn't strong enough to resist the urge to be close to the Uchiha. He'd missed his warmth for way too long.
Suigetsu quickly changed into a t-shirt and boxers and joined Sasuke, who'd lost his pants by now and thus was wearing the same as him.
"Don't try anything", he warned the Uchiha again.

"Got it, no need to repeat yourself."
He knew quite well where their boundaries were, so he wrapped his arms around Suigetsu, drew him close to his body and pressed his lips to his ears in order to cross them.
"You're still hot, you know that?", he whispered.

"Fuck…"
Suigetsu's body reacted heavily to the boy, sending a shiver down his spine and making his boxer shorts tighten around his crotch. He was really into whispering and being so close, Sasuke was shamelessly taking advantage of that.

"Good to know I still work on you", he whispered again, let his hand slide down Suigetsu's body dangerously close to his crotch, but then simply turned around.

"You fucker."
It was all he could say at the loss of Sasuke's body against his and the way he treated him. He'd become such an asshole lately, especially when he wasn't sober.

That way, Sasuke fell asleep and Suigetsu followed him soon after he'd calmed down.
