"Why did you come to the library to work on your art assignment?" Lee pestered raising his giant eyebrows up. He looked over Naruto's should and watched carefully as he sketched. He walked to Naruto's other shoulder and observed it from a different angle. "Why wouldn't you go to the art hall? They have better supplies."

"Because I thought it was going to be quieter here." Naruto said dropping his drawing pad to the table. He set the pencil down and stared at it. The center looked off and he couldn't help but feel he had messed up on the veins. Naruto erased what he had of his leaf sketch and started over. He slowly drew the center and then began on the thicker veins.

"What are you drawing?" Lee asked as he sat down next to Naruto to watch him work. Naruto didn't answer for a minute and Lee followed up with more looking over the shoulder.

"Lee… I really need peace and quiet." Naruto snapped quickly. Lee bowed his head and sat back in his chair.

"Sorry." He said and sighed. "You know it's just been really hard to talk to people because they're always so busy."

"Lee, you're always too noisy…" Tenten argued. "Maybe if you were less intrusive it would be easier for you to talk to people. When you meet someone they don't want to know your life goals.

"Poor Naruto, having to listen to you two goons." A smile crossed her face as Ino interjected. Tenten and Lee shut their mouths, proving she was right with a little bit of resentment. Ino went back to her biology work and nudged Karin. "Look at that."

"Is that a… Penile Cancer? Oh God that's gross, as if dick's were already mutant looking." Karin scoffed quickly. She smiled and looked over at Ino whispering. "At least it doesn't look like old man balls, Suigetsu hair is all white, all of it."

"I'll just finish in my dorm." Naruto said quickly and got up with his stuff. He walked away from the table trying to get the idea of old man junk and Suigetsu having it out of his head. Lee grabbed his things and moved across the room with Tenten to their own table.

"… Bye." Ino said and she and Karin both started giggling.

Naruto set his bag down next to his dorm room door and fumbled with his keys. It wasn't that he was clumsy, it was that he was a janitor in the making with keys to Black Bird, the mansion and several people's houses just in case. He found the right one, which he had marked with a large 'D' on the handle and shoved it in the lock. He turned it and opened the door picking up his bag. "Hey Ga…." A shushing noise cut him off as he entered. He looked over to see Gaara asleep on his bed with a ragged stained teddy bear under his arm. Temari was sitting on Naruto's bed taking cute pictures of him. She waved him over and showed him the pictures. They smiled and giggled as Naruto sat down. His bed creaked and Temari silently panicked. Naruto quickly adjusted and held still. He pulled his drawing pad out and started working on the leaf again. "Sorry."

"Shh…" She whispered and held the camera back up to get another picture of her baby brother. Gaara muttered something in his sleep and rolled over.

"No… mine." Gaara suddenly rolled over again and death gripped his teddy. He nuzzled against the pillow until he saw a flash through his eye lids. Temari shoved her camera away before Gaara looked up and saw his sister. He rubbed his eyes and sat up. "Hey Temari."

He heard two 'hi's back and suddenly saw Naruto in the room. Gaara quickly tossed the bear under his bed. "If you tell anyone I sleep with a Mr. Sandy I'll kill you."

"Be nice, Naruto won't tell." Temari said waving the notion off. "You shouldn't threaten people for just telling stuff anyway."

"I don't think anyone would care." Naruto looked up from his sketch and smiled. "You think you're the only one who brought something embarrassing. Dude down the hall has a complete Where's Waldo costume."

"What are you drawing?" Gaara asked, his tone somewhat accusingly. He stared for a minute before Naruto smiled again, even bigger.

"Gaara with his teddy." Naruto mocked quickly. Before he could completely focus Gaara was trying to grab the note book. Naruto kept him at bay with one foot and showed it to him revealing it was not actually an image of him. "I'm kidding; I'm trying to finish up this shading assignment."

"That's due tomorrow, isn't it?" Gaara said and grabbed his back pack to pull out his sketch book. He flipped open to the first page and stared at it. He turned it around showing Naruto the outline of a sandcastle."Crap."

"You're not doing your homework in a timely manner? I'll tell uncle Sasori! When you were adopted you promised all A's until you graduate college!" Temari pointed her well manicured finger angrily at him. Gaara set the sketch down on his lap and almost began pouting. "Okay, stop being pathetic."

Gaara shoved the note pad away and put his backpack on."Let's go get coffee."

"Coffee, at nine at night?" Temari shook her head and stood up. "You just woke up."

"He's a constant drinker." Naruto assured her.

"You want to come to Naruto?" Gaara asked. He stood in front of him smiling and lifted his game boy out of his pocket.

"No, I've got to finish this up and call Sasuke back." Naruto sighed and started to shade around the edge. "We can gameboy when you get back though."

"Okay, later." He said mildly disappointed. Temari followed him out closing the door.

"And where are you off to?" Kisame said. He and Deidara looked up from their game of rummy. Sasuke put his phone into back pocket and smiled brushing his hair out from his shower. "You Itachi impersonator, you."

"To see Naruto, he's finally all done for the day." Sasuke said and let his hair fall wherever it pleases. He scratched his newly shaven face and put on a fresh white tank top. "This is why I take morning classes."

"Remember that packet is due on Tuesday!" Kisame said giving him a thumbs up.

"Whatever." Sasuke stuck out his tongue and walked out the front door shutting it with a loud click behind him. His phone vibrated in his back pocket and he pulled it out answering it with a kissing noise.

"Hey honey." He said sweetly as he opened the door and sat down in his corvette. He leaned forward chewing lightly on his finger.

"Hey." Naruto said back. "What's up?"

"I'm just leaving the mansion; you know how I don't shower in public." He said and moved fully into his car and shut the door. "What are you working on?"

"It's a shading assignment for class." Naruto said and went quite for a while. He suddenly sighed. "Ta-da, just finished."

"Cool, because I'm on my way to bug you! I'll be there in ten minutes."

"Okay, I'll be picking up our mess." Naruto giggled and Sasuke could hear the phone shift. "Bye Sasuke."

Sasuke closed Naurto's dorm room and slid over to the bed. He sat down and looked at the drawing Naruto was showing up. "That's a really cool leaf."

"Well she told us to take inspiration from around us, and when I was thinking a leaf blew into my hair." He said and laughed. Naruto closed the note book and put it away in his bag.

"You're a dork." Sasuke said and wrapped his arms around Naruto. He nuzzled up to his neck and kissed it gently. "So, we have a meeting tomorrow night. Konan dropped by and told us. Apparently they don't want to talk to a pregnant woman."

"I'm babysitting tomorrow night." Naruto pointed out and placed a hand on Sauske's head stroking the long locks slowly. He realized what the words meant and jolted. "I'll be gone from five until eleven."

"For who?" Sasuke asked quickly. "I'll need to run a background check."

"One of the ladies who came to my job tonight." Naruto said happily. "She was so please with how I handled her kids yesterday. Don't worry about the background check. I doubt Madara would take an interest in me. I'm all dull and mundane."

"And how did that go? Your job, I mean." Sasuke said and laid his head back on Naruto's shoulder. Naruto went back to petting his hair.

"I made a dragon out of pepperoni." Naruto whispered like it was the most astounding thing ever. "The fire was made of a different cheese."

"You're a dork." Sasuke said and looked up at him. He stared at the light pink lips and pulled them towards him. Sasuke caught Naruto's bottom lip and sucked on it. He let it go and pulled Naruto down on top of him and shoved his tongue in his mouth. He held Naruto's head there until he felt him struggle against him. Sasuke let go of his head and watched Naruto pull away smiling.

"Gaara's coming back soon. Is Suigetsu in your room?" Sasuke smiled and shrugged. They rolled off the bed and opened the door. They went into the hall and shut the door behind them, with giant guilty smiles. They ran hand in hand down the hall and up stairs to the second story of rooms. Sasuke grabbed his key and unlocked the door reading 'Uchiha-Hoshigaki.' He opened it and the burst in. Sasuke turned falling back on his bed as Naruto shut the door and climbed on top of him.

"Umm… Right! Later!" Suigetsu said climbing off his bed with Karin's iPod. He opened the door and turned around. "Give me some freaking warning next time."

The door shut and they both started laughing like they were crazed. Naruto grabbed the bottom of Sasuke's shirt and ripped it off him over his head. Naruto put his finger on Sasuke's shoulder and slowly traced down the tanned body and over a nipple. He grabbed his waist and kissed him firmly on the lips before pulling back and smiling. "I love you."

"I love you too baby." Sasuke raised a hand and touched his warm face. Naruto rubbed into it like a little fox. Naruto lowered his head down and slowly planted another kiss.

He then sat back up and stared at Sasuke. "We never go out anymore, let's go do something fun… Like right now."

"I thought we were going to." Sasuke said leaning up on both elbows. He saw Naruto's face grimace slightly and tilted his head. "How about Sunday morning? I'd hate to say it's my soonest opening… You know college is going to keep us a lot busier than normal Naruto. I have class at seven in the morning until eleven, and you don't have class until two, would you like to go on a lunch date?"

"That'd be nice I'd like to go on a date date. We haven't been out in a month and I was kind of hoping I could drag you to the theater… to see that new comedy…" Naruto pouted a bit and Sasuke smiled. "That means I win, right?"

"Yes, mon renard, you win." Sasuke leaned forward more and caught Naruto by his lips.
