Chapter 3

Naruto awoke to his alarm going off and he slammed his hand down on it. He could still faintly smell cigarettes on the sheets and he rose and headed toward the bathroom. He turned the shower on and hopped in using the cold water to wake him up entirely. Once he got showered and dressed he grabbed everything he would need and walked out to the elevator. Naruto noticed a tall, broad shouldered man with black hair that held a blue tint to it. Naruto walked up next to him to check that the man had pushed the down button. The elevator door opened and both men stepped inside. The elevator started going down and Naruto could see the handsome man's reflection on the elevator doors. Naruto averted his eyes and both men exited the elevator.

Naruto scanned the lobby noticed a few gay couples throughout the lobby and his face lit up when he saw Neji and Gaara across the room and he immediately approached the less than social couple.

"Hey Gaara, hello Neji. What's up? How are you liking Paris?"

"It's lovely, how do you find it yourself Naruto?" Neji asked politely.

"It's gorgeous. I need to go and exchange some money, either of you want to come?"

"I will." Gaara replied in his creepy monotone voice.

"Fantastic! Let's go!" Naruto said before grabbing the petite red head by the wrist and walking off with him.

It was a short and quiet walk. Naruto exchanged currency and him and Gaara picked up coffee and crepe's and continued their walk back to the hotel just in time to see the tour bus pull up.

Naruto and Gaara waited back before stepping on the bus last each man handing the man their slips to be checked off. Gaara strolled off and sat down next to Neji and handed the man his crepe before quietly sipping his coffee. Naruto scanned the tour bus and noted only one seat remained open and it was next to the man he'd seen earlier in the elevator.

Naruto approached the man and took his seat next to him.

"Alright, so that's everyone! So I will be your tour guide for your Gay &Away adventure in the romantic city of Paris! I have this giant rainbow flag which I will use as a way for you to find me. In addition we have hats for everyone to wear so we know who is in our group. Your hat should be located under the seat in front of you." A very feminine sounding man announced.

Naruto bent down and picked up the white ball cap with the pride flag on it and the words Gay & Away written on it. Naruto glanced around the bus and saw a few people put them on while others opted not to. Naruto slid it on and shrugged his shoulders. He didn't care. He was here to have fun and not give a damn about other people's opinions.

They drove around and saw a lot of Paris' historical monuments. They saw the Egyptian obelisk, the museums and of course the Eiffel Tower. They stopped and took pictures at a few of the slower areas or very popular areas. They stopped by an old art district where Pablo Picasso once sold art and few people bought paintings. Naruto made sure to snap photos of the artists and the church next to it. Naruto walked down the steps and saw all of Paris.

It was truly a breathtaking sight. Naruto could see Notre Dame. Naruto couldn't wait to go and see it. So far his favorite sights were The Eiffel Tower, the Arc De Triomphe and he was positive Notre Dame would make the list.

Naruto once again noticed his bus partner standing off looking out at all of Paris alone. Naruto was curious as to why the man was here alone like himself. It was a couple's thing after all.

They finished up the tour and Naruto was beat. He still hadn't recovered from his jet lag but he was having a good time. Naruto opted for room service for dinner. He was so mentally exhausted he couldn't walk much more. After dinner and a hot shower Naruto wandered back in bed to knock out early.

Earlier that morning Sasuke had been pleasantly surprised to see gorgeous blonde hair blue eyed man who he had hoped was gay. Sasuke's heart had practically soared when he had gotten a view of said man's ass and he wasn't disappointed to find out he was a part of the tour group. Sitting next to him on the tour bus hadn't been horrible, but Sasuke wasn't a fan of dodging photographs. Sasuke mused to himself what it would be like to sleep with him and claim him. It was possible. They were in the most romantic city in the world after all.

Sasuke stayed up late planning out how he would spend the next couple of days. He was here by himself and had already been seen all the monuments.

Sasuke decided to do some shopping and eat at a few recommended places. It's not like he had someone there to pester him about what they wanted to do. Sasuke eventually got ready for bed and flicked off his light.

The next morning or whatever time it was, Sasuke woke up and got ready for the day. He grabbed his things and walked out of the hotel room and back to the elevator. Once he got to the lobby he walked up to the concierge desk and politely inquired about hiring a personal driver for the day. Once that was settled and done with he took a seat on the only empty sofa in the lobby. Out of the corner of his eye Sasuke saw the blonde man walk up to the concierge desk and was seemingly trying to ask the man a question in what would've undoubtedly been terrible French.

The man waved him off slightly and the blonde gave up. He scanned the lobby and his eyes zeroed in on Sasuke. Sasuke discreetly watched as the man walked up to him.

"Do you mind if I sit here? I'm waiting on my friends to come downstairs and that jackass at the desk doesn't understand any English."

Sasuke held back his initial reaction to blow the man off and instead looked up at him. Sasuke was struck by beautiful cerulean blue eyes.

"Not at all, you did sit next to me almost all day yesterday."

The blonde grinned brightly and took a sit next to him.

"I'm Naruto by the way." Naruto said while extending a hand.

Sasuke eyed the hand and looked back up to Naruto.

"Sasuke."

"So, you come to France often?"

"Occasionally. For business. Not so much for pleasure." Sasuke replied curtly.

"Cool, this is my first time."

"What made you want to come here?"

"Honestly, a pair of lesbians guilt tripped me into coming." Naruto said with a small smile.

Sasuke rose an eyebrow and chose to leave it alone.

Naruto clasped his hands together and began to bounce his leg.

"Are you here alone?" Naruto inquired.

"Yes."

"Why did you come alone..."

"Because I didn't asked anyone. It was very last minute and would have been rude."

"Oh. I'm basically here by myself too."

"Aren't you waiting for your friends."

"Yes. But they aren't very interesting to explore with."

Sasuke thought about it. Naruto was intriguing and definitely peeked his interest and that of his libido's interest. Naruto hadn't seemingly put a lot of thought into coming to France.

Perhaps...

"Monsieur Uchiha?" The concierge spoke up and with his hand directed him to a man in a suit.

Sasuke nodded his head and rose. He spared a glance at Naruto and exhaled sharply.

"If you want to you're more than welcome to join me."

Naruto's head shot up and looked at Sasuke. He glanced over by the elevator before nodding his head and standing. They followed their driver down the escalator and out the door to which he opened the back door for the both of them. Naruto entered first and Sasuke followed. Sasuke gave the man instructions in French before they buckled up.

Sasuke pointed out where Princess Diana had died and stated some other facts that their tour guide had left out. Naruto's favorite being the Egyptian obelisk was not a gift. The driver drove them to the main shopping district and gave Sasuke his number. Both men exited the car and Naruto looked around. This was every fashion crazy girls dream. Every single designer was on this street.

Naruto followed Sasuke in and out of a couple of stores before Sasuke stopped and looked at Naruto.

"What size do you wear?"

"Uhm, medium shirt and 32x30 pants? Why?"

"Because your outfit is making my eyes bleed." Sasuke said bluntly.

Naruto felt his hands down his outfit. Neon orange shirt and well-worn in jeans. Naruto looked at Sasuke who was wearing jeans as well, although they fit in all the right places and a casual button up shirt.

Sasuke grabbed Naruto by the arm and into Levi's. Sasuke scanned the area before finding a wall of jeans and pulled out a couple of pairs and directing Naruto to the back of the store and pushing him into the dressing room before dumping the jeans all over them.

"Try them on. Once you find one that you think looks good come out so I can see."

Sasuke shut the door and walked off.

Naruto stood in the dressing room and reached forward to lock the door. He took off his pair of pants and started to put one of the new pairs on. Suddenly Naruto was bombarded with shirts from above.

"Pick a t-shirt as well." Naruto heard Sasuke's commanding voice from the other side.

Naruto stared at the door wondering why the hell Sasuke was forcing him into this.

"Teme..." Naruto muttered to himself.

"Hurry up Dobe." Sasuke responded.

Naruto stood up so fast he got lightheaded. What did that Teme just call him?

Naruto out on the first t-shirt with the new jeans. He looked in the mirror and was actually shocked. The jeans actually fit him correctly and the charcoal shirt wasn't a bad look.

Naruto cracked open the door and walked out and saw Sasuke leaning against the wall.

"How do I look?" Naruto said flirtatiously.

Sasuke used his finger to indicate turning around. Naruto did just that and then did model poses.

"This works. Why can't you dress like that on your own every day?" Sasuke asked.

"Because I stopped caring about how I look."

Sasuke nodded in understanding.

"Pick out a few other things. I'll be walking around." Sasuke said dismissively and walked away.

Naruto went back in the dressing room and tried on the other jeans settling on his 3 favorites. Two dark washed and one light washed. He chose the tops at random.

He came back out and saw Sasuke standing by the cashier.

Naruto set the clothing on the counter and pulled out his wallet noticing the immediate look of disapproval coming from Sasuke.

"What? Never seen an orange wallet before?"

Sasuke grabbed the wallet away from him and looked with honest horror.

No, no he had not seen a bright orange leather wallet.

"Is orange your favorite color?"

"Yes..." Naruto answer trailing off.

"It's not a good color for you." Sasuke stated bluntly.

Naruto snatched his wallet back.

"And it wouldn't be a good color on you either."

"Actually my orange tie looks great on me. But I only wear it on Halloween." Sasuke answered quickly. Sasuke pulled out his own wallet and handed the man his card while Naruto was still counting out the money.

"Stupid conversion. Why can't everyone use the same money."

Naruto looked up when the store clerk nudged his bags at him.

"But I haven't paid."

"He's giving them to you because your making his eyes bleed. Now go change."

Sasuke stood and waited. Naruto re-emerged in the first outfit he tried on. Both men exited the store.

They went in a few other stores and bought a few things here and there. Sasuke even found a pair of orange boxers and explained to Naruto that's the only way he was allowed to wear orange. Naruto mock laughed... But he bought them anyway.

After they had basically explored any shop that peeked their interest Sasuke called the driver who arrived in about 5 minutes to pick them up. They placed their bags inside the trunk of the car and got inside.
