Sasuke groaned, rolling over to tiredly grab at his phone, cracking one bleary eye open to check the time. Suddenly, he wasn't so tired anymore, sitting up abruptly and blinking rapidly to make sure he'd seen right.

"Fuck, dobe wake up!"

"What is it?" Naruto whined, sounding like he was dying as he leaned up on one arm, sleepily glaring at the brunette as he attempted to see just what the problem was.

"It's seven forty; class starts in fifteen minutes on the other side of campus." Sasuke said testily, hastily getting up and walking quickly over to their dresser.

Naruto blinked, seemingly unable to grasp the 'severity' of the situation.

Sasuke huffed in annoyance, pulling on a pair of jeans and ignoring the blonde's blatant stares. Even in a half conscious state Naruto could still appreciate the sight in front of him.

"Not the time to ogle me idiot." Sasuke snapped, a hint of amusement lacing his tone as he opened another drawer, hunting around for Naruto's clothes and quickly tossing them over to his roommate.

Naruto snorted, finally somewhat awake as he chuckled, "I was just trying to see if your ass was as pale as the rest of you."

"Get dressed." Sasuke sighed, buttoning up his shirt as he glanced at the younger teen out of the corner of his eyes, gaze raking appreciatively over the lithe body.

Naruto smirked, not even turning around as he muttered, "The tan's natural, and if you want to get close enough you'll see that the blond is too."

A dark eyebrow rose in interest, but Sasuke shook his head, blaming the morning's fast start for their suggestive banter.

"Ready teme?" Naruto asked, buttoning his own shirt up and swinging his backpack over a shoulder, hand on the door knob.

Sasuke smirked, for the first time taking in the shirt that'd he'd blindly tossed to Naruto as he briefly contemplated whether or not to alert the blond. Deciding against it he muttered an affirmative, grabbing his own bag as he followed Naruto out the door.

"Gaara!"

The redhead looked up at the familiar shout of his name, smiling imperceptibly as he allowed the brunette to envelop him in a tight hug.

"Hello Lee." he chuckled, rubbing the younger teen's back and steeping back a bit to take in his friend's excited face.

"Look what one of our new youthful students Sora helped me with!" Lee said eagerly, holding out a lock of his hair for the redhead's inspection.

Gaara raised a nonexistent eyebrow at the sight of the green highlights that streaked through Lee's black hair, the style suiting him well.

"It looks . . . nice." Gaara said honestly, unused to handing out compliments but Lee recognized the sincerity behind it nonetheless.

"Thank you!" Lee said, a broad grin splitting his face as he took a seat on the bench beside his friend. "How have you been?"

Gaara smirked, reaching up and playing with a strand of the newly dyed hair as he said, "The same as I was this morning and when you saw me yesterday before curfew. . . I talked to Kankuro." He added as an afterthought.

Lee hummed in interest, "How is Kankuro, still youthful I hope?" he said with a frown, Gaara realizing that he was genuinely concerned about the state of his brother's youth.

"He's fine, Sasori too."

"I'm happy for them; they always seem to make such a good couple whenever they come to visit."

"Yeah, I think they're good for each other, I just don't know how Sasori puts up with my brother." Gaara smirked, leaning back and looking up at the sky.

"When you love someone you love all of them, even habits that others, especially family, might not like." Lee hummed in one of his rare moments of insight. He sighed, leaning into Gaara, one of the few people that could perform such a task without risking bodily harm.

"I suppose you're right." Gaara shrugged, casually wrapping an arm around Lee earning a quiet, pleased sound. It wasn't as though it was something new, though it also wasn't often that he showed his affections, so when he did Lee considered it a special pleasure.

"When are you going to find someone like Kankuro has Gaara?" Lee asked, oblivious to the way Gaara tensed beneath him, unaware of the weight of the question.

"What do you mean?" Gaara asked quietly, lazily twirling a strand of black and green hair around his finger.

"I mean, when are you going to find someone you can be happy with?"

"Who says I'm not happy, or that I haven't found that person yet?"

"Have you?" Lee asked, looking up sharply with wide eyes, surprising Gaara with their intensity.

Gaara nodded, a small grin tugging at the corner of his lips as he said, "Yeah, I think I have."

Lee looked at him searchingly for a second, gaze unusually serious as he pursed his lips, nodding to himself as if coming to a certain conclusion before he grinned broadly. "Well then I'm happy for you! I hope the person that you've chosen is worthy of you."

Gaara smirked, chest filling with that familiar feeling he always got whenever he was around Lee before saying, "They most certainly are; I just hope I'm good enough for him."

Naruto hadn't felt this uneasy in a while. He gripped his books to his chest tightly, an unconscious habit from his insecurity.

Ever since he'd gotten to class that morning he'd been surrounded by his laughing classmates. Even Iruka had chuckled as he'd passed by the teacher when he entered the history classroom.

It was now, as he stewed in math class under Kakashi's amused gaze, that he'd finally had enough.

"What the fuck is going on?" he demanded, looking directly at his teacher as the mindless chatter that typically filled the laid back classroom grinded to a halt.

Kakashi chuckled, shaking his head in obvious enjoyment of Naruto's predicament before returning to his latest copy of 'Icha Icha'. "Would someone care to inform Mr. Uzumaki on the state of his new shirt?"

"Well, not that we didn't expect this, but we just didn't expect it so soon." Gaara supplied helpfully from beside him.

"Expect what?" Naruto snapped, now trying to see the back of his shirt without actually taking it off after Kakashi's hint.

"That'd you'd become Uchiha's bitch of course." Sai said, serene as ever.

"What the . . ." Naruto froze and blinked a few times, taking in the sheer ludicrousness of that sentence before he could fully comprehend it.

Suddenly Naruto was leaping out of his seat and ripping his shirt off and over his head in one fluid movement. There was a moment of frenzied rustling as he struggled to get the shirt right side out and facing him, and then another moment of utter silence as Naruto let it all sink in.

The class waited with bated breath, all eyes on Naruto as he stood there.

"Well shit" Gaara muttered as he recognized the tale tell signs of his friend's already short fuse being eviscerated.

It started with a small tremble in his fingers, and moved up to a steady twitching in his eyes before it progressed to his arms. Gaara heard the shallow breaths as Naruto fought the losing battle with his temper.

It was when Naruto shut his eyes for a moment of 'calm' that Gaara knew it was over.

"TEME!" Naruto roared, shirt in hand as he stormed out of the classroom.

"Well" Kakashi said, spinning around in his chair to once again face the rest of his class. "I knew this was going to be a good day. Class dismissed!"

Kiba could practically feel the tension in the air at the student council meeting. He sat next to Shino the treasurer, directly across from Neji the parliamentarian and Shikamaru, who had to be the laziest secretary in the school's student council history.

It was moments like this, when the tension was so thick he'd need a freakin' buzz saw to cut through it, that he wondered why he'd let Naruto nominate him for vice president, joke or not.

It was also times like this, as he watched Sai sit in the president's seat with an amused and somewhat sadistic smirk on his face, that he wondered just what the hell was wrong with his school for electing the most dysfunctional student council ever.

He squirmed under Neji's intense gaze. It would seem that even after a year he hadn't gotten over the fact that Shino used to date his . . . boyfriend? He wasn't quite sure if Neji had actually asked Shikamaru out or if he was slowly making his way up to Gaara's level of possessive.

Even Shikamaru looked uncomfortable in the small room, shooting sideways glances at Neji before looking down once again at his blank notepad.

"Well" Sai said, clapping his hands together with a much too large smile. "Once again I find that we've accomplished nothing. We still have a dance to plan. Neji, Shino, get your shit worked out before this Thursday's meeting. Shino, maybe fuck Kiba and finally convince Neji that you're not after his boyfriend or whatever the hell they are. Neji, grow some balls and get Shikamaru to be your boyfriend. Shikamaru, say yes. And Kiba, stop your spluttering we all know you've had a crush on Shino since freshmen year whether you've realized it or not. Thank you; meeting adjourned."

Kiba was the first to pick his jaw up off of the floor as he quickly stood, mumbling an embarrassed excuse before hurrying out as if someone was chasing him.

"Well, as usual, fuck you Sai." Shino muttered, standing and following out after Kiba at a much calmer pace.

"For once I agree with Shino." Neji sighed, standing up and waiting for Shikamaru to pick himself out of his seat as well before shooting a pointed look at Sai as they left.

Sai grinned; all in all it had been a successful meeting he felt. Kicking his shoes up on the conference table and placing his hands behind his head he chuckled. "It's good to be the president."

Sasuke looked up from Yamato's lecture as the door burst open. And what happened after that he could only describe as a whirlwind.

Before he could even blink a shirtless blond mass of rage had stormed up to his desk and yanked him out of the chair by his button-up.

He didn't have a chance to get a word in before a sharp punch was thrown at his jaw and he was being tackled to the floor.

He couldn't tell up from down as he was wrested of his shirt, cries of 'bastard' and 'teme' being thrown into the air as he was occasionally smacked upside the head.

He lay there on the ground, panting, and shirtless with the shirt he had vaguely recalled tossing at Naruto that morning lying at his feet as the classroom door shut with a resounding bang.

And, as Yamato attempted to get the class back in order all he could think was 'what the hell just happened?'

-x-x-x-

"Kiba"

"Fuck!" Kiba jumped as he turned around, glaring at his roommate. "Don't sneak up on me like that." He breathed, a hand clutched firmly over his heart.

Shino chuckled, a low laugh that sent shivers down Kiba's spine. "I wasn't trying to startle you."

"I've been looking for you all day."

"Well you found me. It's not as if I've been hiding, I've been hanging with Naruto. Apparently Uchiha pissed him off again. He's barely been here three days and he's already stealing my job. But you know, it's about damn time Naruto found someone. In some sick and twisted way I think the Uchiha bastard can match Naruto's level of crazy perfectly enough to make them both happy."

"You've been avoiding me." Shino said, ignoring his friend's ramblings.

Kiba tensed, returning to folding his clothes. "No, I've just been busy."

"About what Sai said . . ."

"Sai's a bastard, okay?" Kiba said, voice hitching just a bit.

"Kiba."

"Look, Shino." Kiba sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose as he turned to finally face the teen. "You were my first friend, you're my best friend, and I don't want anything to mess that up. Sai doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about and you probably have feelings for Shikamaru still or some other guy at this school that's probably far more normal then me and without an unhealthy obsession with dogs that runs in the family. We're friends, just friends, and that's awesome. Just ignore Sai. I'll see you at dinner."

Shino remained silent as Kiba grabbed his backpack off of the bed and breezed past his friend, shutting the door quietly behind him.

"How are you enjoying the new school little brother?" Itachi asked, an amused note lacing his tone as he idly shuffled papers on his desk.

"It's been . . . interesting." Sasuke murmured, ruffling the back of his hair as he walked along the path back to the dorms. He had eventually identified the event that had taken place earlier as the work of none other than Naruto. He was now wearing the shirt Naruto had been in earlier and wondering just what he was going to say when he got back to their shared room.

"Oh I've heard. It seems you had quite the day today."

Sasuke's eyes narrowed. "Who have you been talking too?"

"Quite an interesting story there actually little brother. Remember how I told you Deidara's half-brother goes there. Well it would turn out that his half brother happens to be none other than Naruto Uzumaki and also, coincidentally enough, your roommate. And a very angry one at that I hear. Please tell me there was a camera in the classroom?"

"Fuck you."

"No thank you, I actually prefer to top, and incest isn't really my thing."

"Hey, you better not be talking about our sex life to anyone." Sasuke heard on the other side of the phone, recognizing Deidara's loud voice. After time spent around the two, he wondered if Naruto and Deidara were really only related by just one parent. He had only spent two days with the blond and knew he possessed the same, if not more, energy then Deidara.

"Just scarring my brother a bit." Sasuke heard his brother reply and then some rustling before Deidara's voice was directly in his ear.

"Hey littlest Uchiha, I hear you pissed my Naruto off. Good work, I didn't even know you guys owned shirts with the Uchiha crest. However, due to my laugher I've apparently been 'disowned' in Naruto's eyes. But don't worry, I know he's not as upset as he sounds, he hardly ever is. Now, I have to go get screwed on every surface of your brother's new office by the end of the night so he'll have to talk to you later, goodnight."

Sasuke felt faintly sick as the phone clicked off, shaking his head in a physical attempt to rid his brain of the horrifying image of his brother having sex that Deidara had just conjured up.

It was making out to be what looked like a very long day. And he still had to face Naruto . . . Yes, a very long day indeed.

-x-x-x-

"That stupid fucking teme and his stupid fucking shirts." Naruto growled as he violently folded his clothes and slammed them into his dresser, creating more of a tangled heap then if he had just thrown them in haphazardly.

"So I take it you didn't enjoy Uchiha's claim on you?" Sai said, smirking at the memory.

Naruto scoffed, throwing a shirt in the general direction of his bed and coming nowhere near his friend's head.

"We're not fucking dogs, stop sounding like Kiba."

Sai grimaced at the comparison but soon his regular distant smile slid back into place. "You know what I think dickless?"

"Sai! You-"

"I think you may have actually liked it. I think you like Uchiha." He finished easily, ignoring Naruto's spluttering.

"He's only been here a few days, I don't even know him. And what I do know of him so far only proves he's the world's biggest dick."

"At least I have one dobe."

Naruto whipped around, eyes widening as he spotted Sasuke at the door, wondering how he hadn't heard him come in.

"Sasuke" Naruto said casually, voice incongruous with his now increasingly livid expression as he straightened slowly. His eyes flashed, an easy smile lifting his lips that was just a tad too similar to Sai's to give him any comfort. "So glad you're back, I've been waiting for you all day."

Sasuke swallowed, groaning internally at what was sure to be one of Naruto's spectacular outbursts, his second one that day.

"Oh goodie" Sai grinned, popping a chip in his mouth and chewing loudly, "another show."

AN: There may be a longer gap in updates. My laptop's been broken and apparently it'll take 1-2 weeks before it's done getting fixed. In the meantime let me know of anything you want to see in this story!
