WARNING: YAOI…Sasuke/Naruto, possible Iruka/Kakashi. Swearing and some sexual references (No graphics… I'd blush too much). Also this is set in modern times in Chicago… A city in the US.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Naruto

WARPED

PREVIOUS CHAPTER

He wanted out, plainly stated. But curiosity drove him over to a seat at the bar. "Hey," he hollered over the noise "I'm looking for one Uzumaki Naruto." He asked a creepy red head with raccoon eyes. The young man walked around counter and dragged a startled blond back with him. Sasuke's jaw dropped. Yes, now he knew why Hinata was so… well astounded.

There was an awkward pause.

Sunshine and Alcohol

(Chapter 2)

Sasuke stared and stared. My god… he was beautiful.

He was tall and had a toned body, a slim waist and delicate looking bones. His facial structure had a lean cat like quality, exotically tilted eyes, high cheek bones and full sensual lips. His blond hair was long almost to his shoulder and was currently swept back into a pony tail. His eyes were a deeper blue with startling purple rims. He has honey colored skin and slender, but long fingered hands. FUCK was he beautiful.

"Umm…" Naruto said uncomfortably. "Is there something you need?" Realizing he had been staring rather boldly, Sasuke's face flushed crimson and he let out a sigh. He dug into his back pocket and pulled out Naruto's bartender's certificate and business card and offered them to him. Naruto took them and looked at them.

Realizing what he had, Naruto glanced at him warily before smiling a small sad smile. "Thank you" was all he said.

"You're welcome." Sasuke smiled. And to not make a scene, but continue enjoying Naruto's presence, he ordered a shot of vodka and immediately regretted it.

A couple hours later, a very cheerful Naruto, supporting a groaning red head made their way out. Their shift was over, but Sasuke didn't notice. He was too far gone in his drinks.

NARUTO

Naruto sat uncomfortably on Gaara's bed after their shift. His co-worker and friend had promptly become so drossy that he had to be practically dragged to his apartment. If Naruto didn't know better he would've bet the Gaara had been sneaking drinks.

However, Gaara was a werewolf and being a werewolf, one could not booze without transforming. Young werewolves transformed when in high stress, emotional wrecked or drunk… well the last also applied to all werewolves.

So if a human asked Gaara why he wouldn't drink Gaara always replied "I'm a straight edge." Which wasn't completely true if you know what straight edged was (Straight edged: No alcohol, no sex, no.. well you get the drift). Gaara was a horny bastard… so of course it was all a lie. Gaara was bi-sexual and didn't care if you were of anything. The guy just loved sex. The only problem was… he hardly ever got it. A side factor of a young werewolf's restrictions was that he had to keep his emotion in check so he wouldn't transform. In the end, Gaara came off really cold and haughty. Thank god for the underground.

But work had been bad of late, so Gaara was always passed out or that… hmmm… one time when he was awake and grabbed Naruto's ass… well things didn't turn out well on Gaara's end. Naruto and he hadn't talked for a week, but they cooled off eventually.

So Naruto watched as Gaara gently fell asleep… staying out of reach. It was a full moon, thus Naruto had to wait till Gaara fell asleep before leaving. Everyone in the apartment building would only be safe if he entered his coma like state for 24 hours. If he didn't the police once again would be looking for them. Soon Gaara was out and Naruto proceeded to make his way to his own apartment.

Naruto smiled to himself as he stripped of his short sleeved white dress shirt, black dress pants, black leather sneakers and watch. Hoping into the bathroom with his foot still caught in his black pants, he stripped off his boxers and took his hair tie out, so his blond hair fell to his shoulders.

He turned on the shower and let the warm water soak into his tired muscles. He rolled his shoulders and sighed. That mutant guy… had been cute. He wanted to know that guy's name, but it would have been inappropriate to flirt at work. Maybe he'd find the guy in the underground… someday.

The underground… Naruto frowned… the last time he was there he had found himself in a very embarrassing situation. He really didn't know what they wanted from him. Of course he knew of their fascination about his heritage, but the way they looked at him. It seemed they were looking for more that just that in his eyes. What? Divine enlightenment? How could he possibly exist? Ha… as if he knew. Damn it, he didn't even know who is father was. And that in itself was scary.

SASUKE – the next day

The phone rang jarring Sasuke's heard. He screamed. Ah, it hurt, it hurt! He knocked the receiver off of the phone and muttered "Hello?"

"WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN! I've been trying to reach you all morning. What are you wasted or something?"

"More or less." Sasuke mumbled.

"What?" His client screamed. Sasuke moaned.

"I said, I've got this mess. I have a family problem… I'm sorry sir, but I'm unable to continue of your case."

"What kind of FUCKING family problem? What did you get into a fight with your girlfriend?" The man asked snidely.

"I wish." Sasuke groaned, "No, there's a death in the family."

"Oh… I'm sorry." The man said. Sasuke almost laughed. No, he didn't have a family. His mother had been murdered and his father had skipped down when he found out she was pregnant. "I will call you later," the man continued, "I hope you'll still keep the case. I can wait."

"Thank you sir. I will consider your offer, but right now I've got to go."

"Alright. I hope it all works out for you. Bye." And the man hung up. Sasuke never understood why people always said 'I hope it all works out for you' whenever he coined that excuse. Did people really think he just wanted the money. Or was it one of those human terms that lost their meaning after while. Who knew.

Sasuke slammed his face back into the pillow and tried to put the receiver back on the phone blindly, but instead managed to fall of his bed and drag the phone down with him. Fuck he thought. Now, he had to get up…

About an hour later just as he was getting out of the shower there was a timid knock on the door. Sasuke wrapped a towel around his waist before answering. When he opened the door he found a blushing Hinata, who chose that very moment to fall abruptly over. He caught her before she hit the ground and he carried her inside and laid her on his couch. Sasuke went into his room to dress.

Wearing a tight black t-shirt with the AC/DC logo on the front and a pair of black jeans. All of which made him appear younger than his twenty-four years. He walked back Hinata and shook her gently awake. "Hinata? Is there something you wanted to tell me?" Sasuke asked when her eyes open.

"Umm…," She mumbled and then handed him a piece of paper folded in half. Hinata then sat up and smiled sadly.

"What?" Sasuke asked before he opened the letter. "You look sad."

"The NIGHTCRAWLER … umm.. Naruto is gay. Everyone is gay. I feel like such a fool."

He's gay, he's gay, he's gay rejoiced Sasuke's heart, but he replied to Hinata "That's too bad. You'd of made a good couple." Hinata blushed and smiled.

"I've got to go now. My stand can't wait all day." Hinata said still blushing and so Sasuke led her to the door and hugged a lobster looking Hinata goodbye.

The Sasuke shut his door and fell on the couch. Slowly with great anticipation Sasuke opened the letter.

DEAR… umm… whatever you're named,

Thank you for discreetly returning my belongings and also please thank the young lady who found them. I tried to, but she fainted. It was rather distressing. Any ways thank you again. And I hope to see you sometime soon at THE CAFÉ.

-Naruto

And a big smiley face was drawn right next to Naruto's name.

Sasuke let out a laugh. The beautiful blond was so… so, so, so timid and kind. But, hell, he really didn't want to go back to that bar-zoo. Damn it, how could anyone work their? It was completely beyond him… but it did fit this impish Naruto that he was learning to love.

THE END … for now.

Hope you enjoyed it.
