The music was no longer just notes. Just a page that someone hundreds of years ago made for money. No, it was more than that.
As the blonde's fingers flew across the fingerboard, a solo fit only for the greatest, you became lost. You could only close your eyes, and picture heaven.
As Naruto entered the third solo of the piece, Sasuke studied his eyes. The blue eyes that showed all his emotions.
Well…Sasuke smirked, not nervousness. Never nervousness. He saw the excitement that bloomed in them as the tempo increased, crescendo as the man could barely keep his feet on the ground.
This was what Sasuke lived for. To see Naruto, on stage, performing something that he perfected. Ever since he was little, he perfected everything he did. Never settling for anything but the best. Sasuke wanted nothing more to sit and watch him play every day all day. It was more fascinating then Naruto's foreplay, which was very, very interesting.
Sasuke watched as Naruto played his final note, placing his instrument down under his right arm, smiling wider than when he was playing. Sasuke knew what that smile meant. He saw the performer make eye contact with him once again, eyes glazed over. On lookers would think it's from the euphoria of playing, but Sasuke knew different.
As the orchestra ended, the conductor bowing, the orchestra receiving a standing ovation, Sasuke grinned, hands sweaty with anticipation of what would become of them both in just a few hours.
Meet you back at the suite. He mouthed, receiving a nod from the blond, who was already fidgeting slightly. Sasuke grinned, oh yes; tonight will be more entertaining than the actual performance.

It wasn't for another three weeks before Sasuke could fit Naruto into his schedule. Naruto didn't mind, as long as the Uchiha continued to say that he would give him lessons, seemed to keep the blonde's spirit strong.
"Alright, let's see if you can hold the instrument right." Sasuke quirked an eyebrow at the blonde's smile, "What are you smiling like that for?"
"Nothing, nothing, only thinking of Sakura-san."
Sasuke's eyebrows furrowed. "Don't think about her."
Naruto snickered, "What? You like her?"
"I did years ago, but not anymore." Sasuke said monotonous.
Naruto's face fell, "Oh…"
"It's alright," Sasuke smirked, "I'll tell Kakashi-san you think about his Sakura."
"He'd kill me."
"He would shove his 24 year old foot where the sun don't shine. You only have twenty minutes; we don't have time to waste. Playing position."
Naruto nodded, placing his instrument on his chin, the bow on the string.
Sasuke circled the young boy. "Very good. Very good. Now let's see how well you play. Play the scale I told you to do."
"Which one Uchiha-sensei?"
Sasuke stared at him, "What do you mean, 'which one?'"
"In the books you gave me sir, there were multiple scales. I practiced them all. Which one do you want me to do?"
Sasuke sat back in his chair, "C."
Naruto nodded, eyes closing in concentration. Sasuke fumed that the smile had yet to disappear off his face. Naruto opened his eyes, smile turning into a grin, "C? That has no sharps or flats right?"
Sasuke rolled his eyes, but nodded. Naruto nodded in return, and moved his bow across the string.
Sasuke closed his eyes, listening. Tone is horrible, bow direction is some what decent, he presses too hard on the strings, his fingers... they are all out of tune…but…he's trying…I suppose that's what's important. Very good for not having any training. He opened his eyes and looked at the boy once he was finished. "It was horrible."
That was the first time that Sasuke ever saw the boy not smile. Naruto bowed, "I'm sorry."
Sasuke sighed, standing, "There is nothing to be sorry about. It is the first time that you have had a proper lesson. You have practiced on your own. There are minor set backs, but you are much better than what you were before."
Naruto smiled, "Thanks! Uchiha-sensei!"
"Yeah, yeah, let me show you all you did wrong."
