Song of inspiration for this story: The Lazy Song by Bruno Mars
In this story I'm making the legal drinking age 18, it is in some countries so I figure that it works :)
Is anyone even reading this, besides the three people that reviewed the last two chapters…I feel bad for abandoning the story, but I may post slower if I keep getting this few of reviews…I'll complete the story but other ideas might take precedence…
Anyway, as always I own nothing, enjoy and please review
Chapter 7: The Lazy Song
Friday afternoon Naruto sat in front of the TV, flipping through the channels and eating junk food. He was laying around in just his boxers, hot because the heat was on in the dorms to combat the cold outside. He saw nothing wrong with laying around half naked, watching television. He was alone in the dorm room; he figured it was perfectly acceptable. Even if he weren't, his roommate was a guy; it wasn't like he was showing anything off that should make him uncomfortable. It wasn't any worse than if he were at the pool, wearing swim trunks.
He heard the door open, pulling him away from the TV. "Hey Sasuke," he smiled before going back to watching TV. He didn't notice the look on Sasuke's face as he did so. "How was class?" he asked.
When he got no response he looked back at Sasuke. The man was staring at him, though Naruto was proud of his body so he didn't care. He felt that his hot roommate could look all he wanted; it just made him feel more confident. "What's wrong?" he asked with a smile. He loved getting any kind of reaction out of the man, mainly because it was difficult to do.
Sasuke was looking at him, half disgusted and half attracted to the other man. He couldn't help but stare at Naruto's tan, well-toned chest. He snapped himself out of the daze that Naruto's body seemed to put him in, "Stop being a pig and put some clothes on." He turned away from Naruto and walked over to his bed.
"It's hot in here," Naruto said. "I mean it's just like if I were wearing swim trunks," he argued, grabbing some more chips out of the bag. "Want some?" he asked, holding out the bag toward Sasuke.
"What I want is for you to put some clothes on," Sasuke said, his voice filled with disgust. "And stop making such a mess," he added as he started to pick up Naruto's clothes that were scattered on the ground. He threw them at the blond, making sure at least one article of clothing would hit the blond in the face.
"Would you rather I just lay here in my birthday suit?" he grinned. He was answered with a pair of jeans being thrown at his head. "Okay, I get it. You don't want to see me and all my sexiness with no clothes on," Naruto said. "But this is my room too, so really you can't tell me what to do," he said, feeling as if he'd won the argument. Sasuke glared at him, making Naruto laugh, "Do you always have to be this stuck up?"
"I don't know do you always have to be this annoying?" Sasuke retorted, getting frustrated with the blond. He didn't want to admit that he did actually enjoy the sight, that'd just make Naruto have an even larger ego. "Just put some fucking clothes on," he said. However, part of him couldn't help but think about how much he did in fact look like his ex-boyfriend.
"I'm sorry I don't have any clothes made specifically for fucking," Naruto replied, knowing he was annoying the dark haired man. "I'm not really in to playing dress up," he said innocently, knowing that he was irritating Sasuke. He knew that getting a reaction out of Sasuke always made the pale man talk to him. When he saw the glare he received from Sasuke he just grinned and said, "Fine, I'll put some clothes on." He got up and started to pick out a new pair of clothes for him to wear. "But only if you come out with me and my friends tonight," he said, holding a pair of jeans in his hand.
Sasuke was silent for a moment. He let himself stare at the blond again, 'Damn it, I can't let him walk around like that or we're going to have some serious problems.' He knew that he may not bet attracted to the blond emotionally, but physically was an entirely different story. Physically the other man was just his type, no matter how much he hated to admit that Suigetsu was right. He sighed and said, "I can't tonight."
"Why not?" Naruto asked. He knew that Sasuke always went somewhere on Friday, he was hoping the question would give him the answer as to where he went. "It's Friday night, it's not like you have class tomorrow," he argued. Part of him was hoping that Sasuke would tell him where he went every Friday, but he seriously doubted that it would happen.
"That's none of your business," Sasuke answered. He didn't trust the blond enough to tell him anything about Itachi. He also didn't think that Naruto knew his last name and telling him about it would be a dead giveaway. He liked the fact that Naruto didn't know who he was and it made it so that the blond couldn't ask any questions about the incident.
"Then tomorrow," Naruto said, knowing that Sasuke never went out on Saturdays unless Suigetsu came and dragged him out of the room. "Your friend Suigetsu can come too, we're having a guys night," Naruto added, trying to convince him. He noticed that he wasn't convincing him so he used what he knew would make him say yes, "It's the only way you're going to get me to put my clothes back on. I mean if I really wanted to I could just take the rest of my clothes off."
Sasuke thought about it a moment before he said, "Fine, I'll go." He grabbed a new pair of clothes for himself and started to walk toward the bathroom while saying, "I'll be in the shower, when I'm done you better have some clothes on."
"Yeah, yeah, I get it," Naruto chuckled. He started to put his clothes back on as he mumbled, "Asshole." He pulled out his phone and text Kiba: 'I'm coming over. I'll see you in ten minutes.'He walked out of the door, smiling to himself, 'Tomorrow night is going to be fun.'

Sasuke got to the prison, knowing the whole process that he'd have to go through just to talk to his brother. He sighed as the guard checked him over, making sure he wasn't trying to smuggle anything into his brother. The young Uchiha also had to sign in so that they knew who was there and whom they visited. "Sorry Sasuke, you know its policy," the guard said. Sasuke just nodded. He and the guard had slowly got to know each other over his years of visiting Itachi. The guard knew that Sasuke was a good kid so one day he started talking to him. The guard, Kenji, was an older man. He always wondered why the young Uchiha visited his brother, but never asked. Rather, he just came to expect that Sasuke would be there every Friday.
The young Uchiha sat down across from his brother. It always saddened him when he saw his brother behind the window because it always reminded him of how Itachi took the blame for something he didn't even do. "Hi," he said with a small smile.
"Hello Sasuke," Itachi said. The older Uchiha started the conversation as he always did, "Are you making any new friends?" He wanted Sasuke to be more social. He knew that the other man had trust issues, but he still hoped that eventually Sasuke would make more than three friends.
Sasuke looked down, "I don't know if you could call it that." When he just received silence, he knew that his brother wanted him to explain further. "I have this annoying roommate," he said with a sigh. "He's making me go with him and his friends for a guys night tomorrow," he added. "Naruto's just really annoying and very far from what I'd call a friend," he finished. He wasn't sure why he brought Naruto up, especially when he was being asked about friends, but it somehow just slipped out.
"That sounds like a friend to me," Itachi said with a small smile. "It's good for you to make more friends," he told his brother. "You may think he's annoying and yet you're going out with him and his friends, that doesn't sound like you really hate him," Itachi pointed out. He knew his brother well and he knew that Sasuke wouldn't go somewhere if he didn't want to go.
"He's just a blond moron, not a friend," Sasuke said. He refused to classify Naruto as a friend. If he classified Naruto as a friend it would mean that they'd hang out together and Sasuke didn't want that. He felt that he didn't need any more friends, especially not a blond idiot. "I'm going with him and his friends because he was walking around the room in just his boxers and wouldn't put anything else on unless I agreed to go," Sasuke said, trying to convince his brother that he wasn't Naruto's friend.
"So you're attracted to him?" Itachi grinned, hoping that Sasuke could finally movie on from what his asshole ex had put him through. Sasuke started to deny it causing his brother to say, "But you're at least friends." Again Sasuke started to deny it and so he just smirked at him, "If you say so Sasuke." He couldn't help but think, 'He may not be yet, but he wouldn't have even brought him up if he truly believed that the boy wasn't going to be a friend.' Itachi knew that there were many things Sasuke wouldn't talk about, his love life being one. He knew that anything truly important or conflicting would cause Sasuke to speak out, but Naruto hadn't seemed to get to that stage yet. Itachi decided to change the subject, "How are your studies going?"
From there they continued to catch up. Itachi would laugh to himself every time Sasuke slipped up and brought Naruto into the conversation, which convinced Itachi more that his brother was attracted to the blond. About an hour later, Sasuke realized how late it was getting, "I should get back to my dorm; I have kind of a long drive." Itachi nodded and Sasuke said, "I'll see you next week."
Itachi smiled at his brother, "Yeah, I'll see you next week." As he watched his brother walk away, he was sure that by the next time they talked Sasuke would be friends with Naruto. 'It's good to see him becoming more social,' Itachi thought as a guard came to lead him back to his cell. 'Perhaps he'll have more than three friends the next time I see him,' Itachi thought, hoping that would be the case.

Meanwhile, Naruto sat at a bar with his friends Kiba, Shino, Gaara, Neji, Sakura, Ino, Shikamaru, Temari, Choji, Lee, and Hinata. He was feeling on top of the world in that moment. He'd had a few drinks in him and was surrounded by good friends. "Guess what," he said to Kiba with a smile on his face.
"You told Sasuke that you're hot for him," Kiba replied pleased with himself for thinking of such a response. He knew it would get the blond riled up, which he found highly entertaining. "Is he hot for you too?" he asked, with a laugh as Naruto punched him on the arm.
"I'm not hot for him," Naruto replied. "I did, however, get him to agree to go out with us tomorrow," he grinned. "I can't wait to see how he acts when we get a few drinks in him," Naruto said with a laugh. "Think he is as stuck up when he's drunk as he is sober?" he asked. He was very pleased with himself that he'd managed to get Sasuke to come out with them. The man hardly ever seemed to go out and never came back drunk when he did, but Naruto was planning on changing that.
"Gee, how did I know this would be a conversation about Sasuke?" Kiba mocked the blond. "Oh wait, I remember now, it's because he's all you ever talk about lately," he rolled his eyes, taking another drink. Before Naruto could answer, Kiba turned to talk to Hinata, successfully ignoring Naruto.
Naruto just watched as nearly all of his friends were in some kind of odd relationship. He saw Sakura trying to ignore Lee's passes, though she secretly liked all of the attention he gave her. He saw Ino and Temari fighting over a satisfied looking Shikamaru. The brunet was smart enough not to interrupt the girls, knowing they'd try to make him date one of them. Instead, he let them fight with each other and enjoy the fact that he had two girls that wanted him. Gaara and Neji talked, though too quiet for him to hear what it was about. He had a feeling the two had some kind of fling going on, but they'd never said anything so he wasn't about to call them out. Kiba and Hinata were flirting like always. Why the two didn't just make it official, Naruto wasn't sure. However, he wasn't sure Hinata even knew that she was flirting with the brunet. She often looked at Naruto, which the blond tried to ignore since he had no feelings whatsoever for the girl. The only two that Naruto noticed weren't hooking up with anyone were Choji and Shino. The two seemed perfectly content just sitting, talking, and eating.
Naruto had a conversation going with Shino and Choji, though he was only truly half paying attention. He didn't add much to the conversation, mostly because he was thinking about the next day and how he was going to drag Sasuke out with his friends. He wasn't sure why he was so excited, he just had a feeling it was going to be a good night. 'Maybe it'll be the night that we actually become friends,' he thought smiling to himself. He didn't know that Saturday night would turn out to be a very awkward night.
