Chapter 11: Rockstar

The week went by fast too much to Sasuke's surprise. By the time Friday came around he had hardly even realized it. The alarm rang with its annoying buzz that made Sasuke want to throw it against the wall and he got up, feeling as if it should be Wednesday or Thursday.

"Good morning," Itachi said to his to his disheveled brother who failed to notice the blonde at the kitchen table.

"Hn," was all he said.

The younger Uchiha was in only his boxers as he grabbed a piece of toast for breakfast, which made Itachi chuckle as he said, "I know he is hardly a guest anymore, but when he comes over please put some clothes on."

"Huh?" was his bright response.

"Morning sunshine," Naruto grinned.

Sasuke closed his eyes and let out a deep breath, fighting down a blush, "Hello Naruto."

He quickly made his way up to his room with as Naruto said, "Hey wait for me!"

The blonde ran after him as he smirked at Itachi, who just shook his head, 'He keeps the house interesting.'

"So what should we do this weekend?" Naruto asked.

"I don't care," Sasuke's monotone reply came from his closet.

"But it's Friday, as in the day to decide!" he protested.

There was no answer from the closet, which annoyed the blonde, as he hated to be ignored.

"Don't make me come in there, you know I will, I have no sense of privacy," Naruto exclaimed.

Sasuke opened the closet, fully dressed, and glared at him, "I don't care what we do."

"Aw, you said we as in you want to do something together," he exaggerated.

Sasuke growled out, "No don't take it so nicely, I just know you'll come over, even though I've never been to your place. Why is that?"

"I like it over here, it's so roomy," he smiled.

"We should go to your place, that's what I want to do this weekend," Sasuke demanded.

"No," Naruto refused.

"Yes," Sasuke demanded.

"No, and that's final," he said.

"You know, nothing over there can scare me off, I'm the drug addict remember? I talk with people like Orochimaru," Sasuke stated.

"Are you saying you're so enticed by me that nothing will drive you away, then let's just start dating," he teased.

"I didn't mean it like that," Sasuke said defensively.

"Right," Naruto rolled his eyes.

"Why won't you let me go to your house?" Sasuke asked.

"It's small, and I told you that my guardian isn't normal," the blonde said.

"So, I don't care, I can deal with both of those," Sasuke said.

"Maybe you can come over sometime when she isn't there," he said.

"Whatever let's just get to school," Sasuke said, obviously annoyed.

"Sasuke don't be mad, I don't let anyone over," Naruto frowned.

"I'm not mad, just confused," he said.

"What?" Naruto asked.

"Well if you like someone you introduce them to your family, but hey it's cool, it's not like I was planning on having us be more than friends," Sasuke shrugged.

"You mean we can't be together if you don't meet my guardian?"

"It's how I was raised, I have to keep something from how my parents did things – I hold their views and traditions to be important, or I try to," he explained.

"Oh," he said with a frown. "I see."

"Well, let's get to school, don't want to be late," Sasuke said as he walked out of the room.

The limo ride to school was awkward and silent as Naruto was left with his thoughts.

NS

Morning classes went by rather quickly and it was lunch. Sasuke was still in a bad mood from that morning but trying to hide it and Kiba's loud voice made an easy distraction.

"Guess what!" his whole face lit up.

"What?" Naruto responded.

"My parents are out of town this weekend, they left this morning and won't be back until Monday morning and you know what that means," he said loudly.

"PARTY!" everyone at the table, except Sasuke, Shikamaru, Shino, and Gaara yelled in response. Neji, Hinata and Haku's response were much quieter than Chouji, Naruto, Kiba, Ino and Sakura.

"That's right, co-ed sleep over to be exact. But only the cool people are invited," he grinned. "So don't invite the losers."

Sasuke rolled his eyes, "That's a tad vain."

"Who cares? You're invited. Bring your guitar," Kiba smirked.

"I'll see if I can come," Sasuke said.

"What, too cool for us?" Kiba laughed.

"No, my brother isn't a fan of parties," he snapped back.

"It's cool, he loves me, and I'll be there so I'm sure he'll let you go," Naruto assured.

"Right," Sasuke scoffed.

"How about you come over to my place while I pack, and then I'll come with you to your place to ask with you," he smiled.

"Whatever," Sasuke shrugged, trying not to seem happy that Naruto invited him over, but he could tell by the look on everyone's face he was one of the firsts.

"Cool," he said, feeling nervous about having Sasuke over and meeting the infamous Kyuubi.

NS

After school, Naruto was a nervous wreck. He hated the feeling of nervousness, it made him feel like he would pass out from stress, but he made sure not to show it so that Sasuke would know that he was sure of him. All he wanted at that point was to be with Sasuke, because even if the teen wasn't stable, he made him feel stable.

"Hey," Sasuke said as he walked over to Naruto.

"Hey," Naruto gave a fake smile.

"What's wrong?" Sasuke asked.

"Nothing...let's just go to my house," he said as he pulled Sasuke to the dark haired teen's limo.

"Okay, where to?" the driver asked.

Naruto gave him the directions and the tinted window went up so that they could have their privacy again.

"Calm down," Sasuke said.

"What?"

"I can feel how nervous you are, it's distracting," Sasuke said.

"Sorry," the blonde looked away with a sigh as he sank into the seat.

"Why are you so nervous?" the raven asked.

"Your house isn't like mine," Naruto said meekly.

"My house isn't like a lot of people's," Sasuke shrugged.

"My house isn't normal," Naruto frowned.

"I don't care, I'm not going to judge you," Sasuke said sincerely.

Naruto still felt unsure as he bit the inside of his cheek.

NS

The car pulled over fifteen minutes later, signaling that they were at their destination. When they got out Sasuke saw run down apartments that hardly seemed to be up to living standards from the outside, but he kept his mouth shut.

"So this is the place?" Sasuke asked.

"Told you it's not like where you live," he frowned.

"I told you I don't care," the rock star shrugged.

The blonde led the dark haired teen up to an apartment on the third floor. The outside didn't seem as dirty as the others did, which made Sasuke think it had some promise. Naruto unlocked the door and let them both in.

"I'm home," he called.

Sasuke walked into the house to see a red headed woman walking into what seemed to be the living room. It was a somewhat dirty living room, though not so disgusting as to be unlivable.

"Hey Kit, get over here and help me find my meds," she demanded.

"You can't find your meds?" he asked lightly.

"No, now get over here and help me!" she screamed.

Naruto ran over her side and started to dig through the mess pile until he found her medication, "Here you go."

She shoved him aside as she grabbed the bottle and he hit the wall hard with a loud thud, "Who is this?"

"Uchiha Sasuke," the teen answered for Naruto.

He could practically see the money signs in her eyes as she looked at him and said, "So you actually have a good friend, one worth your time."

Her voice was almost demonic as she talked; it remained Sasuke of Orochimaru, only the older man was more snake-like, while the woman was an animal that he couldn't put his finger on.

"We're just here to get some things," Naruto said with a sigh.

"For what?" she snapped.

"I'm going to spend the night at Kiba's house," he explained. "A lot of us are."

"Whatever, just be home in time to make breakfast tomorrow."

"Do you want dinner before I go?"

"No, just go and be useless," she growled.

He frowned, "Right."

The blonde led Sasuke to his room where Sasuke continued to stare at him, "Explain."

"What my room's not that messy, I mean a little messy but come on it's me we're talking about," Naruto tried ignore what Sasuke truly meant.

The dark haired teen backed him into the wall, pinning him with each arm, "Not what I meant."

"Fine just let me go...though I do love this dominating side of you it's incredibly sexy," Naruto said, smirking toward the end as he was released.

"Naruto," Sasuke warned.

"She's sick, I don't know with what, but she thinks she's part fox and calls me kit because of that...she's prone to rage when she doesn't take her medication...usually she's fine," Naruto said.

"You shouldn't be under her care," Sasuke said and Naruto felt warmed by the worry in his eyes.

"I'm fine, I can take care of myself, besides, I've got my friends... and you, and it's only one more year," he rationalized.

Sasuke pulled the blonde away from packing and turned him to face him, "Listen, if it ever gets bad, I don't care how late at night, you know where I live, and my door is always open."

Naruto smiled, he wanted to do more but he just smiled and said, "Thanks."

NS

They pulled up to Sasuke's house and Sasuke let out a sigh.

"What's wrong?" Naruto asked.

"He'll say no," Sasuke frowned.

"Be a little optimistic," he smiled.

"I'll save that for the guy who wears way too much orange," he chuckled.

"You should try some color," Naruto said as he got out of the car.

"Black is a color," Sasuke shrugged as he got out.

"A depressing one, try one that says I didn't just come from a funeral," Naruto said.

"Dark blue..." Sasuke started to say.

"Is also a funeral color," Naruto cut him off.

"Ha, I wear red to," he smirked.

"Big surprise you wear the color of blood," the blonde said sarcastically.

"You're right let me change to wear pink and green and only the colors of the rainbow," Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"I sense a hint of sarcasm in your voice."

"Oh really? What was your first clue?" he glared.

"But seriously try orange, with your dark hair..." Naruto started.

"I'd look like Halloween," Sasuke cut him off.

"A Goth's favorite holiday!" Naruto pointed out.

"This conversation is so over," Sasuke said as he unlocked his front door.

"You're going to stick with your colors huh?" Naruto asked, knowing the answer.

"Yep," he said before yelling, "Itachi I'm home!"

"I'm in the kitchen," he sounded angry.

"Hey what's wrong?" Sasuke asked as they walked in.

"Where were you?" Itachi asked.

"At Naruto's house, sorry, he had to pick up some things," Sasuke explained.

"You know I hate when you don't call, that's why you have a cell phone," Itachi scolded.

"Why didn't you call me?" Sasuke asked.

"I didn't think you'd answer," Itachi mumbled.

Naruto let out a little laugh. "Shut up," Sasuke hit his side. "Well, I have a question."

"What?" he asked skeptically.

"Can I go to Kiba's party/sleepover," he asked quickly.

"Is there any adult supervision?" Itachi's eyes narrowed.

"No," he bit his lip.

"Please let him go!" Naruto begged.

Itachi could feel the headache coming if he said no, "Fine, go ahead, but be good, and I want a full report when you get back, from both of you, at different times, in different rooms."

"Thanks," he hugged his brother. "And no telling anyone that I just did that, okay?"

"Okay, just go before I change my mind," Itachi sighed.

Naruto pulled Sasuke up to his room, "Let's go get you packed!"

NS

The party started to wear down by the end of the night and Kiba found if Sasuke was bored almost everyone was bored. His goal was to keep the raven entertained at all costs. Dancing held his interest for about an hour, truth or dare for about fifteen minutes and now he was out of ideas until he saw his guitar.

"Sasuke, play us a song!" Kiba said.

"What do you want to hear?" he asked as he pulled out his guitar and everyone seemed to gather around the rock star. People started to shout out names.

"Something new," Kiba smirked.

"I'll make something up right now, can't promise it'll be good though, give me a topic," he smirked back.

"Being a rock star," Kiba grinned.

"Alright, what is that to you?" he asked, curious on what the idiot brunette could think his lifestyle is full of doing.

"Getting women, dugs, parties, being a VIP, you know all that kind of stuff," he smirked.

"See, I told you that you're vain," he chuckled.

"Just play," Kiba rolled his eyes.

"Alright, I'll give you a song on the vain side of rock stardom," Sasuke chuckled. He started to sing shortly followed by the guitar coming in.

People were rocking to the beat in their seat. Kiba shook his head, finding it unfair that some guys could have it all. Naruto smirked as he had been in his house and he knew that one of Sasuke's bathtubs could probably fit ten people plus him, just like the song said.

Naruto frowned when the drug dealer line came up, when Sasuke thought of it he knew he would, he didn't even have to look at him. Sasuke knew that it was difficult to know about the addiction but when it came up like that he knew it made it even harder.

He wanted to look at the blonde, but he was scared to. He had a feeling that he was mad and he didn't know why but he didn't want Naruto to be mad at him. Sasuke closed his eyes and just continued to play the song.

Sasuke looked over at Naruto, who wouldn't look at him. The song was supposed to be fun; everyone else was having fun, yet not everyone else knew about his drug addiction. 'Geeze it's not like Orochimaru is on my speed dial anymore.'

Sasuke felt pissed that Naruto was mad at him. He felt he had no right to be mad over a stupid song. The raven tried not to show how frustrated he was and just wanted to finish the song.

Sasuke finished the song and said, "Well there you go, if you excuse me I'm going to go get some fresh air." The dark haired teen put his guitar down and walked out the front door.

"What was that about?" Kiba asked.

"I'll go find out," Naruto said.

The blonde walked outside to see Sasuke sitting on Kiba's porch. "What's up?" the blonde asked.

"Why did you glare at me like that?" Sasuke asked.

"What?" Naruto was taken back.

"In the room during the song," Sasuke said.

"I don't like you talking about having drug dealers," the blonde looked down.

"They wanted a song about a rock star life style, he was the one that brought that part of it up, what did you want me to say, oh we don't do drugs, well guess what that's a lie!" he practically yelled.

"Why are you so mad at me?" Naruto asked.

"Because it's annoying, you're so worried about me singing about having a drug dealer, but you know what, I'm not doing drugs right now," he said.

"I know, it's just, I want to keep it that way because I didn't like that day that you were," Naruto said.

Sasuke sighed, "And I'm going to try not to be."

Naruto smiled, "Sorry for freaking out."

"You're a dobe, it's to be expected," the raven responded.

"Teme," Naruto said with a little smile.

Sasuke smirked, "Let's go back inside."

Naruto nodded, "Alright."

The rest of the night was filled with what Sasuke classifieds as stupid party games and socializing before they went to bed somewhere around one in the morning.

TBC...

Shelly's End Note:

I was running on a writer's block toward the end but I worked through it so bare with me...sorry if it's not the best chapter but it is kind of long...it gives more Naru background as many requested and some more NaruSasu progress though they are not a couple yet. Please review it's good for my sanity :)
