Author's note: Since you guys seemed to approve of these little notes, I'll just keep doing them. :3 Right now I just want to let you know that I'll be going to school in a week, and it's my senior year, so my guess is that I'll be really busy from now on – and that means that I won't be able to update this story as often as before. Other than that; you're all amazing and I make those geeky squee-sounds when I read your reviews. 3

Naruto had been acting strange for two days; avoiding eye contact, never walking out of the shower without being fully clothed, always making strange jokes to avoid any silence with Sasuke in the same room. Sasuke got why he was being like that, he really did, but that didn't mean that the raven didn't get fed up with it.

He was sitting on a chair in the kitchen, drinking some water and waiting for the blonde to come back from another one of his angsty jogs. Sasuke didn't understand the joy of working out, but he would see that it was working on Naruto, at least. Those abs didn't come from sitting inside doing nothing.

He was just about to get up and go to the living room when the door opened. The guard was, as usual, following Naruto to the door just to make sure that he belonged there. Sasuke waved him off.

"You should really give me a key or something!"

Sasuke smirked, glad that the blonde seemed somewhat normal for once, but got cut off.

"But that'd be weird, I mean-"

"We're going to a gig tonight."

That got Naruto's attention.

"Huh? A gig? What kind of gig?"

He dried his neck with a towel and kicked off his shoes. Sasuke crossed his arms over his chest.

"How do you feel about Billy Talent?"

The blonde stopped his actions and – finally – looked Sasuke straight in the eyes, his mouth hanging open.

"B-Billy Talent!? Are you serious!?"

Sasuke smirked at the reaction.

"I'll take that as a yes, then?"

Not that Naruto had a choice, but it sounded nicer if Sasuke made it sound like he did.

"Uh, yea! They're awesome!"

Naruto looked as if he would start jumping up and down at any second, and Sasuke felt very pleased with himself. Maybe this was what they needed to get back to normal; to finally act like usually again – as in when they weren't dancing around each other, playing some kind of wicked love game.

"Alrighty then. We're going in an hour."

The surprised face on Naruto turned into a grin.

"Okay, I'll go get a shower."

Sasuke nodded and forced back a smile when Naruto walked past him and patted his shoulder. It felt as if it was just a matter of time before the whole strangeness would get to an end.

The driver was practically kissing Sasuke's ass – just as usual. He had wanted to take a taxi, but his mother had insisted on calling their driver before the raven even got the chance to have a say in the matter. Naruto was acting a bit uncomfortable with the whole situation.

"We could have just taken the bus, you know. I don't want to bother anyone."

Sasuke forced a smile.

"Get used to it. I would have preferred anything over this."

The blonde blinked, a bit confused.

"How come?"

Sasuke wasn't sure how to tell Naruto that there would be a lot of people looking at them when they got out of the car – they were still in their own neighborhood and the majority of the people living there knew and Uchiha when they saw one.

"Let's just say that people will know that we're there."

Sasuke could see Naruto's confused face in the corner of his eyes, and tried to seem unaffected by it. The blonde took a deep breath.

"Guess this is your everyday life, huh?"

Sasuke nodded. He doubted that he'd ever get used to being treated like royalty. Itachi had certainly gotten used to it and was happy to have other people look after him all the time, but Sasuke just didn't understand how that would be something to be proud of. He wanted to take care of himself every now and then.

As he had suspected all along, people recognized him as they got out of the car. They were mostly just whispering and pointing at them, but one girl actually attempted to go with them into the building as some kind of group. Sasuke took care of that at the entrance, though.

"Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki."

The tall man with the list didn't even look for their names.

"Of course! This way, sir."

Sasuke glanced at Naruto and caught his overwhelmed face.

The raven casually followed the man inside, but he knew that Naruto probably was feeling even more uncomfortable than before. They reached the stage by taking a short cut from behind the room where the crowd would be standing in just minutes, and then got left alone since the man had to get back to the entrance. Naruto was standing with his mouth slightly open and was looking at the stage from the side.

"Dude, we're backstage!"

Sasuke smiled and nodded.

"That would be the case, yes."

Just a few seconds later, all the members of Billy Talent walked into the room and Sasuke could have sworn that Naruto was having a stroke. His mouth was still open wide and he didn't blink for over a minute. This was a rather normal thing for Sasuke; going backstage to say hi to the band before going downstairs and joining the crowd, but Naruto had probably never experienced it before. The raven felt somewhat proud that he got to be the one to bring the blonde to this kind of thing for the first time. Maybe that would give him some extra credit or something like that.

A guy with brown, messy hair that was pushed to the side approached them while drinking from a bottle of water.

"Hey, you're here to see the show?"

Since Naruto still seemed brain dead, Sasuke was the one to speak up.

"Yea, we are. I figured I'd take this tourist to hear some real music while he's here."

The guy chuckled, closing the bottle and putting it on the floor.

"A tourist, eh? That's the spirit. I'm Benjamin."

He reached his hand forward and Sasuke shook it.

"Sasuke. And the swede here is Naruto."

That woke the blonde up.

"Yea, hi, it's great to meet you! I'm a big fan!"

Sasuke smirked. Yep, that night definitely would get Naruto to think about something else than reality for a while.

"Good to hear! So, Sweden, huh? I hope you're not missing our gig there in November."

Sasuke had to hold back a laugh when he saw the way Naruto was shaking his head.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world!"

Some guy that was sound checking a guitar yelled Benjamin's name from the stage, urging him to get over there.

"Well, I better get going. You enjoy the show, guys! And uh, Naruto, give your name to someone. I'll set you up on the list in November."

Naruto couldn't say anything, so he just nodded as Benjamin said bye and returned to his place on the stage. The blonde slowly turned to face Sasuke.

"Dude, that was the fucking lead vocalist of Billy Talent."

Sasuke nodded, still very proud of himself. Naruto grabbed the raven's upper arms.

"I just fucking talked to the fucking lead vocalist of fucking Billy Talent and I'm on the fucking list to their fucking gig in Stockholm!"

Sasuke started laughing, feeling incredibly happy that Naruto finally showed his normal self again.

"You're welcome. C'mon, let's get downstairs."

Said and done; they left Naruto's name to one of the sound checkers, went down to the crowd and found a spot on the left side of the stage. They would easily see everyone up there – especially Naruto, who was taller than Sasuke – and they would have no problem with running to get something to drink in between the songs.

Just a few minutes later, the stage got lit up and the intro to Line and Sinker started playing. Naruto instantly started jumping up and down, pumping his fist in the air and singing along to the lyrics, and Sasuke just felt so at peace with the whole situation. Even if the show had just started, he didn't want it to ever end. He could stand there watching the blonde for days if he just got to. Naruto noticed that Sasuke seemed deep in thought, so he simply grabbed Sasuke by the waist and forced him to start jumping as well. The raven didn't mind – not one bit.

The driver dropped them off right in front of the entrance and they both stumbled out of the car, drunk and euphoric after the gig. They were supporting each other's weight as they entered the building and walked over to the elevator. Sasuke pressed the button and leaned on the wall, trying to look sober, but knew that he was failing miserably. Naruto laughed.

"You're not fooling anyone, Uchiha."

Sasuke smirked and crossed his arms over his chest.

"I'm better at pretending than you are, at least."

Naruto chuckled and nodded, admitting his defeat.

When the elevator reached them and they had entered it and pushed their button, Sasuke suddenly found himself pushed up against the wall. It took him a few seconds to realize that Naruto had caught his wrists and was holding them tightly at each side of his head, their noses almost touching.

"Naruto, wha-"

"I'm gonna say it now."

Sasuke blinked, ignoring the small bolts of lightning that were making their way through his body.

"Say what?"

Naruto swallowed hard and was breathing heavily.

"That you're driving me crazy."

Sasuke silently gasped, closed his eyes and licked his lips in a try to focus. What Naruto had just said was waking those butterflies up.

"That's a good thing."

He opened his eyes to look into those deep blue ones. The blonde slightly tilted his head, his breath shaking.

"Is it?"

Sasuke slowly nodded and swallowed.

"But I think that you need to make up your mind."

Naruto moved a little bit closer, making it even harder for Sasuke to keep his head out of the clouds.

"Since you're, you know-" Sasuke gasped when Naruto lightly touched his chin with his soft lips, sending waves of pleasure through the raven's body. "Engaged."

Sasuke had expected Naruto to push away and return to that angsty, avoiding behavior just as that word had escaped from his mouth, but the blonde just placed another light kiss on his jaw.

"Yea."

Sasuke couldn't help but silently moan when Naruto kissed further up on his jaw, almost reaching his neck, and that made Naruto clench Sasuke's wrists even harder in a try to control himself. Just as before, that caused some kind of chain reaction, and Sasuke slightly wiggled his body out of pure tension. Naruto gasped and gently – too gently, oh god, too gently – pushed his hips forward while moving down to Sasuke's neck. The raven bit his tongue and moaned while opening and closing his fists, wanting to throw his arms around Naruto's neck and feel that muscled back out with his palms, but the blonde wouldn't let him. All Sasuke could do was to stand there and just take the sweet torture.

"If you g-go all confused on m-me again, I promise I'll-"

"I won't."

Naruto sealed his promise by sliding Sasuke's shirt down, exposing the pale shoulder, and then lightly pressing his lips on the raven's collarbone. Sasuke gasped for air and pressed his head backwards and into the wall while biting his lower lip, his eyes shut tightly. He was clenching his fists and pushing his hips forward in a try to get some kind of satisfaction.

"Don't do that, Sasuke."

He slightly opened his eyes and looked down at Naruto.

"What?"

The lustful blue eyes were almost begging him.

"Don't… Don't look like that."

Sasuke saw that Naruto was biting his tongue and he felt the blonde's palms getting sweaty. The raven just smiled, blushing.

"And what if I do?"

They looked at each other for a while before sharing a short smirk. Naruto glanced at the sign above the elevator doors and then released Sasuke just in time for the doors to open on their floor and then disappeared out in the hall. Sasuke took a deep breath and tried to collect himself enough to make more room in his pants before following Naruto to the front door. He didn't look at the blonde while unlocking the door, but he knew that he was smiling just as big as himself, and that felt incredibly good.
