I do not not own Naruto.

Sasuke hates award shows.

When Sasuke and his band agreed to come to the MOA Awards (Music of America Awards) he thought that they would be having a whole row to themselves. So imagine his surprise when a few of his crew had to sit in seats a few rows back because they needed seats for some blonde country singer and his crew.

Sasuke and his band were an alternative band so shouldn't they have tried to separate them by genres or by people they may know. But Sasuke wasn't going to make a big deal out of it. He was high out his mind and he was just ready for this thing to end. His brother was having a huge after party. As much as Itachi got on his nerves, his aniki could throw some lit ass parties.

Sasuke snapped out of his thoughts as he felt someone nudge him. He turned to look straight into baby blue eyes.

"Wassup. I'm Naruto."

Sasuke deadpanned.

"I know who you are, it said so on that placeholder with you face on it."

"Oh right," the blonde man said as he brought his hand up to rub the back of his neck embarrassed.

"I really like your band though, I have some of you guys' songs on my Apple Music," Naruto continues with a huge grin on his face, "and you're an amazing singer."

Sasuke blushed at that. He had heard vaguely of Naruto. And had heard some of his more crossover songs on mainstream radio. He couldn't say he didn't like it. He wasn't going to admit he did though.

"Thanks," he murmurs as he looks away to the stage. '5 minutes until showtime' bolder across the visuals screen.

He soon turns to his band mates and starts up a conversation with them, not really wanting to talk much to a stranger and started asking them who was all performing tonight. He didn't know if he could sit through Haku singing the same one hit wonder he's been singing since 2013.

Sooner than later the awards had started and now with less than 30 minutes left to the show Sasuke's band Hebi had racked up 4 awards. He had already seen the 5 performances one of his band mates Suigetsu had told him about so that's why it came as a surprise when Tsunade, his record label's CEO and also the host of the show tonight introduced one last surprise guest.

He was even more surprised when Naruto Uzumaki (who had racked up 4 awards also), got up out of his seat and strolled up to the stage. A large man with long white hair handed him a guitar and Naruto walked out to center stage.

"I just want to thank all my fans out there, all my friends, all my family for supporting me. I got somethin' a little special for y'all tonight. It's something new and y'all are the first ones to hear it."

It didn't sound like any of the hits Sasuke had heard on the radio. It was soft but strong, and the lyrics were beautiful. He wondered if he had wrote them all by himself. Sasuke has been musically trained since he was 4 years old and so when he thinks that Naruto plays the guitar perfectly, he means it.

Naruto closes out the show with 2 more songs bringing other artists out.

After the show ends the crowds are wild and Sasuke knows it's going to be an extra 15 minutes before he can actually get out the building and into a car headed straight to the after party.

Some kind of way Naruto manages to make his way back towards the arena floor to his seat with his friends and crew.

Sasuke doesn't know what possesses him to do so, but he taps Naruto on his shoulder. Naruto turns around and has to look slightly down to see the raven haired singer from earlier.

"You did a good job tonight. I liked your new songs. Did you write them all by yourself?"

"I sure did beauty. Why so? Want me to write a song for you?"

Sasuke was about to answer but the blonde kept going.

"I don't know why I should though, you were so rude to me the whole night. You didn't even talk to me. Not even a little." The blonde pouted.

Sasuke raised a thin black eyebrow. Once again about to answer before the blonde kept babbling.

"Even after I told you how much I liked your music. You're mean Sasuke Uchiha and-"

Sasuke covered Naruto's mouth before he could say something else. He gritted his teeth.

"Shut up you idiot," he said amused and annoyed at the same time. Naruto raised his hands in surrender.

"Do you always talk this much, dobe? If so I'm glad I didn't talk to you during the awards."

"Dobe, what in the heck does that mean?" Naruto sputtered.

By now it was finally time for Sasuke to leave.

"Idiot, maybe I'll see you around." Naruto couldn't help but to smile at the small smirk playing on the black haired beauty's lips.
