I know a singer," Naruto announced nonchalantly. Too nonchalantly given the discussion had been ongoing for at least an hour. "You know her too."

"Her?"

"Girls can sing too you know."

"That's not at all the aspect I was questioning." Sasuke replied.

"Oh, it's Sakura-chan!" Naruto grinned.

"My girlfriend is not going to be in our band."

"Know any other singers?"

"Her parents want her to focus on her studies. They already pulled her from the piano lessons my mom was giving her." They were also now only able to see each other once a week, and sometimes not at all. He went to his guitar played a few chords, it's not that he had not considered making Sakura the vocalist, she gave him the idea for the band it was only natural that she would be considered. There was however one problem,"and her parents already hate me."

"Yeah I heard they caught you in her room in the middle of the night." Naruto started laughing, "I would sale my soul to see the look on your face when that happened." Sasuke threw his guitar pick at Naruto, but that did not stop the laughter.

Sasuke had no idea how Naruto had heard, as far as he knew Sakura had not even told Ino. Naruto noticing the scowl on Sasuke's face answered the unasked question, "your brother is a gossip." Naruto shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, "I asked him why you were," Naruto stopped. He considered his words, grounded seemed so childish. Especially since they were in a band, then he found the word, "imprisoned! Oh that could be a song! Imprisoned by your love, yet you remain free!" Naruto recited dramatically.

"Shit like that is why you will never write the lyrics."

"Shut up asshole! It was romantic and you know it! Better than the sappy shit you've written!" He paused for a second, "like the blossoms in the spring-"

"Shut it if you don't want a broken nose." Sasuke threatened, he could feel his face become hot. Which made the promise of a broken nose seem like an empty threat. Fuck the day that naruto found the lyrics to an unfinished song that was never meant to see the light of day.

"Did you think you were being original?"

"SHUT. IT." Sasuke felt his patience thinning, saw the mischief in Naruto's eyes and knew what was coming.

"To kiss you, to love you is to know the warmth of -" Sasuke punched him in the gut interrupting him, Naruto looked to Sasuke. Offended, "hey! That shit was uncalled for!" Sasuke smirked confident in the silence this had bought him, until Naruto said words that made the smirk vanish, "apologize, or I'll show Sakura the song."

"What are you going to show her the ashes? I burnt that shit long ago."

"Well," naruto put his hand to his chin as if in thought the smug look on Naruto's face was sending alarm bells in Sasuke's head. "Isn't it great how far technology has advanced," Naruto reached for his phone, "all I have to do is send one text message."

"You took a picture of that!?"

"You just have such a lovely way with words," naruto turned his phone around to show Sasuke the picture. Naruto had favorited it instantly, knowing it would come in handy. "Now apologize."

"Give me that damn phone you idiot." His words were supposed to be threatening, instead they were taken as encouragement. Sasuke watched in horror as Naruto prepared the message, but before he hit send he looked to Sasuke. His last chance Sasuke realized. It was about pride he reminded himself, his girlfriend laughing at him vs Naruto winning.

"I'm sorry."

"Like you mean it." Naruto sang as he waved his phone around, Sasuke glared.

"Please forgive me." He tried again, was this his life now being blackmailed by Naruto of all people?

"That's better, though it such a sha- oh shit." Naruto was looking at his phone, cursing, panic was rising within Sasuke and shame as well. He knew what Naruto's panic meant.

"I'm going to kill you."

"It was an accident, friends forgive each other, no apologies necessary. Right? Right Sasuke!?"
