All warnings and disclaimer are the same in ALL chapters unless stated differently.
"Dammit, the water is still cold… Fuck this."
The tall raven turned off his shower and redressed himself.
Fuck, just fucking came back from the gym too! Woo… What a way to throw off my day.
Sasuke frowned and then proceeded to grab the phone.

"Hello, this is the CitySpire Information and Service Help Desk. What can I do for you?"
"This is Uchiha Sasuke calling from the 54th floor, my hot water doesn't work and it is freezing."
"We apologize for any inconvenience, and I have just listed you into the repairs queue – "
"Thank yo– No, wait what? The repairs queue? What do you mean queue?"
"Well, you see Sir, many other residents have informed us of this problem, and we are working very hard to fix it as soon as possible."
"Well, what am I supposed to do now huh?"
"We suggest that if you are in desperate need for hot water from the tap, residents could go to another apartment, say a friend who also stays in the building. Not all apartments are lacking hot water."
"Are you serious?" Sasuke practically glared at the phone.
"U-umm, we are really sorry about this inconvienience! But we are definitely working hard to find a solution to fix this problem."
"Ok, fine. Bye."
"Have a merry Christm–"
And the raven hung up. Am I really doing this? Sasuke sighed audibly.
ARGH, I'm still sweaty, fuck. Ok, just do it.
The tall man grabbed a small duffel bag filled it with a new change of clothes, and grabbed a towel before leaving his apartment. After waiting a short while, he stepped into the small elevator and pressed the number.

[To Naruto]
Ramen, ramen, yummy yummy ramen!~
The blonde took a whiff of the half cooked instant noodles and almost drooled. He made his way to the couch and sat down. Naruto placed his noodle cup on the coffee table while he switched the TV on.
DING DONG!~
Who would that be? I'm not expecting anyone…
The blonde reluctantly let go of his ramen and strode to the front door. He opened it to see a smokin' dewy Sasuke with a backpack and a towel.
Naruto shot his a very questioning look.
"My hot water isn't working, shower is freezing, just came back from the gym, help desk are total fuckers and cant do anything. Can I shower here?"
Naruto took a few seconds to process what was in front of him, and another few seconds to process what the raven said.
"Yeah, sure! Go ahead!"
Oh fuck, too enthusiastic. Fuuucckkkkk…. Oh well…
The talled man didn't waver and just walked past Naruto saying "bathroom is in the same place as mine right?"
"Bro, how would I know? I've never been to your house!" Naruto chuckled.
"Right. Ok wont be too long."
"Mmhmm, now… what was I doing before…." The blond scratched his head, "oh yeah! RAMEN!"
[To Sasuke]
Sasuke dropped his bag in the corner of the very unfamiliarly familiar bathroom and took off his dirty shirt. He cast a good look around the toilet while waiting for the shower to warm up.
Surprisingly neat… His eyes widened a fraction, HAHAHA pink toothbrush!
He quickly undressed and stepped into the shower.
Oh shit, didn't bring my shampoo and stuff. Oh well, just use his, I'm sure he wont mind.
The raven grabbed the bottle and squeezed a small amount and used it,
LOL… Smells like apples. HAHA, to be honest, it smells really nice though….
He just gave himself a mental slap.
Sasuke finished up quickly and started to put on his jeans, when suddenly,
The lights went out. Almost slipping and falling, with the help of the light from one small window, Sasuke made his way out of the bathroom in search of Naruto.
"Naruto!"
"Yo! I'm here, in the kitchen! The power is off!"
"No shit! Oh fuck!"
"Try not to walk into any furniture!"
"Too late!"
Sasuke used his shin to find-where-ther-furniture-is-in-the-dark tool, while drying his hair with his towel. Multitasking… Coz I'm cool like that. Good thing I don't think outloud.
Suddenly a bright light flashed onto Sasuke.
"Woah, man! Watch where you point that flashlight!" The raven said seeing bright spots.
Naruto stood agape, staring at the marvel infront of him,
Tall guy, standing there innocently drying his hair; with his shirt off only clad with his ripped skinny jeans. *druull* I think I can see a little Calvin Klein peeking out from his jeans. Oh god, he has like perfect abs, so perfec-"
"God, turn that away!" Sasuke snatched the flashlight off Naruto and pointed it to the far wall. "ok, well it's a bit obvious the power isn't working right now… Which means the elevators don't work. How am I gonna get back to my place now?"
"Use the stairwell?"
"Oh right," The raven threw on his shirt and jogged to the stairwell.
He pushed his weight onto the swing door and practically smashed his face onto the hard surface.
"FUCK."
"What?"
"Door is locked…"
"Well, that is definitely a hazard! What if there was a fire?"
"Agreed. Ok… well… I can't really go anywhere… So I'm gonna crash at yours till the power is back."
The blonde reopened his front door.
The two didn't really know what to do next. And then Naruto remembered.
"My ramen!" He slowly found his beloved cup noodles and instantly downed it all.
"Is that seriously your dinner?"
"Yup! Have you had yours?"
Sasuke shot a semi grossed out look, not that Naruto could really see it.
"Yeah at sixish."
"Oh well what do you wanna do?"
"What time is it?"
"umm…." Naruto checked his watch, thank the lord for glow in the dark hands, "it is… Eight twenty five."
"Wow you have very late dinners…"
"Well, I was busy today, I had heaps of stuff to get through…"
"Please, expand. Its not like we have anything better to do right?"
"OK, well…"
And this started Naruto on his mega long speech on what he did that day. Surprisingly, Sasuke wasn't bored. He sat there very comfortable, listening to the interesting sounds of Naruto's voice, the way he said his words. The way the blonde described what he did. From time to time, asking a question, or agreeing to whatever.
"Annd, so then I settled for dinner, and you turned up."
"Cool. What time is it now?"
Naruto's eyes widened.
"It is nine fifty! Woah…."
"You can talk for really long Naruto."
Mini shivers went through the blonde's spine as he heard the low rumble of his name leaving the lips of Sasuke.
Naruto stared at those perfect lips…
Sasuke noticed…
The two men felt this small imaginary string pulling each other closer, slowly inching forward. The room suddenly felt very cold, as if encouraging the two to move even closer on the couch.
Both guys didn't really mind, both were quite open to the thought of being bisexual, it was just that they didn't really know about the other.
Out of apparent fatigue, Naruto rested his head against Sasuke's broad shoulder.
"Haha, I smell my shampoo." Naruto teased.
"Yeah, I hope you don't mind, it smelled good. Hahaha." The raven smiled.
It was a rather rare sight to see him smile…
If Suigetsu was here, he would say Wow the Ice-Princess smiled! The world is changing!
But he wasn't.
The two boys secretly enjoyed this moment, the perfect silence. A comfortable silence; with Naruto leaning against Sasuke's warm body, with Sasuke secretly smiling… Both admiring the scenery through the large windows of Naruto's apartment. The beautiful view of the lit central park, and the mesmerizing lights of the manhattan skyline. Along with the small lit windows of neighbouring buildings…
Wait a minute… Something is off… Both boys thought.
They both shared a glance with each other and instantly stood up and made their way to the elevator outside.
Sasuke pressed the button, and it normally lit with an orange glow.
The blonde facepalmed and the elevator arrived.
The silver doors opened to reveal two other men. One with medium length spiky silvery hair, and a big orange haired man.
The man with silvery hair shot Sasuke a sly smile.
"Fuck you Suigetsu."
"You wish you could Sasuke," he joked. "OWW!"
Sasuke beautifully landed a joking (but still very painful) punch to Suigetsu.
Juugo sighed and rolled his eyes while emitting a small laugh.
He raven glared at Suigetsu and let out a deep breath.
"I'm awesome right?" Suigetsu said.
He proceeded to grab Naruto and Sasuke's hands and playfully walked them back into Naruto's apartment and sat them down.
Sasuke let out another sign and began to explain to a confused Naruto.
"Ok, Naruto… Meet Suigetsu," he said, gesturing to the silvery haired man, "he is a real douchbag. Don't be friends with him."
"Hey! I'm not that bad!" Sui defended himself and turned to Naruto, "hey there, I'm Suigetsu, and you are looking fine today. OWW!"
Sasuke had shoved a winking Suigetsu off his chair and carried on.
"Naruto, just ignore him." The raven said, waving off the other boy, "Ok, and this is Juugo, he is cool." Giving him a pat on the back.
"Ok, and so anyone want to explain what is happening or happened? Why are you and you here?" Naruto was just downright confused.
"My oh my, what a pretty face, but nothing inside the noggin' aye?" Suigetsu whispered to Sasuke, earning a slap on the back of his head.
"Well yes, Suigetsu. Please, care to explain… EVERYTHING."
Said man laughed.
"Oh before I start, Sasuke wants to invite you to his Christmas Eve party!"
"Wait what! Mrghfhghrghh" Suigetsu strategically place his hand on sasuke's mouth.
"6 pm his place ok? Just floor 54, the first apartment."
"Err…" Naruto cast a glance to a struggling Sasuke and then smiled. "Ok! And so, carry on with your … explaination… please."
"Ok, alright, well… It all started when…"
