Chapter 2: Blueberry Pancakes

Naruto couldn't sleep that night; he kept thinking
about the movie star next door. Make that the absolutely gorgeous movie
star next door. He lay looking up at the ceiling, a goofy smile across his
face, until he would remember Itachi...and a cold chill would race down his
spine. Itachi might have been just as gorgeous as Sasuke, but...it was a dark
beauty.
Finally unable to take it, he got up and went to the
kitchen. Grabbing a bottle of water, he sat down on the floor in his living
room and turned on the television.
Nearly every piece of furniture in his shabby
apartment had been courtesy of Tsunade-obaa-chan--and, of course, many a garage
sale. His mother died during childbirth and his father was in an accident when Naruto was six, and he spent the rest
of his life shifting from foster home to foster home. Luckily, his parents had
been thrifty savers. When their little boy was still a bun in the oven, they
had opened up a bank account under his name with the first deposit of nearly
200,000 Yen (A/N: Approximately $2,000 - conversion courtesy of Windows Vista
Sidebar Currency Converter! Seriously, get a PC - they're way better than Macs.
;)). The money was supposed to go toward Naruto's college, but Naruto had used
some of the money to make a down payment on leasing an apartment the previous
year. While she pretended to be cruel and heartless, Tsunade had nearly bent
over backward to help out the little blond in any way possible. She worked with
him on finding a job and had even waived the rent for his first two months.
Naruto focused back on the television, a gift from
Tsunade and Shizune for his sixteenth birthday. No way around it, those two had
definitely saved him from the foster system, and he was eternally grateful.
Not even knowing what he was watching, Naruto began
flipping through the channels, trying to find something decent at three
o'clock in the morning. He stopped when he heard familiar music and immediately
recognized it as the soundtrack from Insomniac's Dream. There were
flashes of light and color before the real commercial started, and there was
Sasuke...
Naruto stared at the digitalized version of his
newest crush before realizing that the real thing lived right next door. His
goofy grin was back, and he had officially given up on sleep. Glad that he
didn't have to wake up for school the next morning, Naruto decided to clean to
occupy his attention, hoping that he would fall asleep from boredom soon.
First, he headed toward the refrigerator. He was
slightly afraid, as he hadn't cleaned it out in several weeks. He reached
hesitantly toward the milk and took a wary sniff. So far so good. Now onto the
orange juice...
It didn't take long for Naruto to finish cleaning out
anything that had gone bad, but now he was hungry and decided to make a
midnight snack. Too lazy to cook anything, he grabbed some instant Ramen
noodles, crunched them up, added some peanut butter and honey, stirred it
around, and popped the whole thing in the microwave for a few seconds.
After his snack, he headed into the bathroom with
about a gallon of bleach and several hundred rags. Then onto the bedroom...
Dawn found Naruto vacuuming his family room and still not tired. There was a
knock on the door, and Naruto answered it in his boxers. Sasuke blinked
sleepily at the blond before blushing at his near nudity.
"Oh!" chirruped Naruto, completely
unembarrassed. "Sasuke! How's it going? You want to come in? I was just
cleaning."
"I know," said Sasuke coldly, making the
hair on Naruto's neck stand on end. "I could hear the vacuum cleaner. Tell
me, do you always vacuum at six o'clock in the morning when no one else is up
yet?"
Naruto shrugged. "I'm up. The sun's up. And now
you're up. What's the problem?"
Sasuke glared. "I had a late night last night,
and I'm still tired, so I would appreciate it if--"
"Well, I still haven't gone to sleep yet. I'm
not tired. I thought that cleaning might calm my nerves, but it didn't. Anyway,
I just finished cleaning my entire apartment, so you can go back to bed."
Sasuke looked moderately impressed. "You never
went to sleep?"
"Nope! And I'm still wired!"
"Why?"
Naruto looked confused. "Well... I don't know.
Maybe it has something to do with all that soda I drank--"
"No," cut off Sasuke. His voice was a lot
softer than Naruto had ever heard it before, and the brunette refused to lift
his eyes from the ground. "No. You said it would help calm your nerves,
but..." He looked up, suddenly looking much more like himself. His tone
was bitter as he said, "What would you know of high strung nerves,
dobe?"
Naruto was taken aback at this sudden coldness, but
he shook it off as Sasuke possibly not being a morning person. "Look, I'm
sorry I kept you up, but how about I make you some breakfast to make up for
it?"
Sasuke took a step back. He wasn't used to anyone
inviting him into their homes with benevolence. Usually people were only
pretending to be nice to him...or were rabid fangirls. He was only surprised,
but Naruto took the gesture as one of disgust.
"I'm sorry. It's...clean?"
"What?"
"My apartment. You don't have to be afraid of
it. Usually it's a hot mess, but, well...it's clean."
"Oh. ...Am I still invited to breakfast?"
Naruto's face lit up. "Of course!!! We're
friends, right?"
'Are we?' thought Sasuke. 'I haven't even known him
for twenty-four hours. Does that qualify as friendship?'
Naruto brought Sasuke into the now clean apartment
and went to put on some lounge pants before heading back to the kitchen to make
pancakes. Sasuke sat at the table with a glass of milk, watching the blond
closely. While Naruto didn't seem like a crazy stalker fan, he didn't
seem quite...normal, either.
"So," said Naruto as he mixed together the
eggs, milk, and Bisquick, "if you don't mind my asking... We got home from
dinner at like nine. How does that constitute as a late night?"
Having half fallen asleep at the table, Sasuke jerked
upward. "What?"
"You said you had a late night last night, which
was why you didn't get a lot of sleep. Why were you up so late?"
"Oh." Sasuke expression soured.
"Kisame was over last night, as per Itachi's request. I'm a light sleeper,
and my bedroom shares a wall with my brother's."
Naruto's eyes widened when he realized the full
implications of this statement. "Oh. Oh wow." Then he was confused.
"But...you said you could hear the vacuum cleaner, but I was up, too, and
I didn't hear any...activity."
Sasuke shrugged. "Our bedrooms are on the far
side of the apartment, but I ended up getting up and sleeping on the couch,
which is close to this wall."
"Oh." He paused. "But...I could never
hear any vacuuming from the other tenants..."
Sasuke began to panic. How would he explain that he
had been curious about the blond and had found himself pacing outside his
apartment as the sun rose, thinking of different excuses to talk to him--
Sasuke shook his head. No! He was Uchiha Sasuke! He
was a very big star, and he definitely did not get crushes on anyone below his
status. And he definitely didn't get crushes on stupid blonds! With stupid,
sparkling blue eyes! With stupid, flawless, tanned skin!
'Snap out of it!' he chastised himself.
Naruto set a plate down in front of Sasuke and
drenched the blueberry pancake in syrup before fixing one for himself. For the
most part, the pair ate with only the TV in the other room keeping them company
from the silence. When they finished, Naruto dumped the dishes in the sink.
"You're not going to clean those?" Sasuke
said, surprising himself with his joking tone.
Naruto laughed. "I've had enough cleaning for a
while. I'll clean them later...maybe." His eyes suddenly lit up. "Oh!
Ano sa, ano sa!"
"What?"
"Well, you're new in town, right? So, I mean,
you don't really know of any cool hang out spots. Wanna hang out with me today,
and I'll show you around? And I can introduce you to some of my friends! Well,
well?"
Sasuke stared at the bouncing blond in front of him.
Naruto looked more excited than a child getting a puppy on a snowy Christmas
morning. Inwardly, he smiled, intoxicated with the exuberance emanating from
this...this idol of perfection.
'Ugh,' Sasuke thought to himself. 'Itachi's stupid
plays must be rubbing off on me. What the hell? Idol of perfection! Baka!
Sasuke, get yourself together!'
Out loud, he surprised himself by saying, "Sure
thing, dobe. Let me get dressed."
"All right!"
Naruto immediately bounded into his bedroom, and a
second later, Sasuke heard the shower running. Shaking his head, Sasuke headed
back into his own apartment to grab a shower of his own.
The warm water felt nice as it pounded Sasuke's tired
body. For a moment, he thought he would fall asleep until he looked downward at
a little...problem that had developed. He watched as he thought back to the way
Naruto had wandered around his apartment half naked and his body responded
accordingly. He had never thought of himself as being attracted to men, but
Naruto was different. Naruto was the exception to every rule.
Frowning, Sasuke resigned himself to taking care of
this problem. He closed his eyes and found his mind wandering immediately to
Naruto. He imagined the blond in his own shower, rubbing soap all over that
gorgeous body...
Sasuke poured some soap in his hand and began
stroking himself, getting fully hard immediately when he imagined Naruto on his
knees in front of him, his lips slowly sliding down his cock. He imagined himself
coiling his fingers tightly in the blonde�s hair as he slowly slid in and out
of the warm, wet heat.
He let out a breathy moan, using his hand to steady
himself against the shower wall as he tightened his grip and stroked even
faster. He imagined Naruto's pink tongue licking his balls while his strong,
calloused hand stroked his dick.
"Naruto," he whispered softly, breathing
heavily. A few more strokes, and he came hard against the side of the shower.
He slumped over, trying to catch his breath before quickly cleaning up and
finishing his shower.
Turning off the water, Sasuke wrapped a towel around
his waist and used another to dry his hair a little. He heard a knock on the
bathroom door just as he was opening it. Itachi stood on the other side of the
door, his hand still in the air.
"Yes?" Sasuke asked, narrowing his eyes
slightly.
"Your friend is here," Itachi said simply
before walking back into his own bedroom.
Sasuke walked into his room and jumped when he saw
Naruto.
"Sorry, your brother told me to wait here,"
said Naruto sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head. He sat on the bed and
bounced up and down a few times. "Wow, this is a nice mattress you've got
here. Mine came out of somebody else's trash can, and sometimes I can smell cat
piss, even though we washed it and aired it out for several days before we put
it in my room. It's awful. I'm saving up some money to get a new one, but
first, I need to get a new dresser. My top drawer came out the other day, and
now it won't go back in. Besides, it's really ugly. Although, I know I
shouldn't complain, because I got it from Tsunade-obaa-san, but, I mean, you
know..."
Sasuke stared at the blond and wondered if he was
even listening to himself as he chattered away. He waited for Naruto to take a
breath before he said, "Umm, do you mind? I need to get dressed."
"What? Oh. Well, I mean, we're both guys. Does
it really matter? But, if you insist..." Naruto sighed and reluctantly got
off the mattress. "I'll be in my room, so just walk on in when you're
ready."
Sasuke nodded and watched Naruto go. Even though he
was only wearing jeans and a T-shirt, he still exuded sexiness in a way Sasuke
never thought humanly possible. He finished getting ready as quickly as
possible in order to see the blond that much sooner. He was almost out the door
when he remembered something. Resigning himself, he knocked on Itachi's door.
"What do you want?" his brother snapped
without opening the door.
"Is Kisame still here?" He tried to keep
his voice cold, but Itachi's tone was made of ice.
"Yes."
"...Kisame?"
Sasuke heard movement and the rustling of fabric. A
minute later, the door opened, revealing a disheveled Kisame. "Yeah?"
"I'm heading out."
"Oh." Kisame frowned. "You want to
grab some breakfast while I shower?"
"I already ate," Sasuke answered, his eyes
narrowed.
Itachi appeared at the door and wrapped his arms
around the shark's waist and rested his head on his shoulder. His eyes appeared
red in the darkness of the room. "Really?" he said slowly, the simple
word flowing from his tongue like silk. "What did you have?"
"Blueberry pancakes." Sasuke shifted
nervously, wondering where this conversation was going.
"I didn't smell any cooking." Itachi's eyes
narrowed a millimeter as he surveyed his brother. "Where did you get the
pancakes?" The question sounded innocent, but the hairs on the back of
Sasuke's neck were standing on end.
"Naruto asked me over for breakfast."
Itachi's eyebrow arched smoothly. "Oh? When? I
don't remember him asking at dinner last night." He smirked. "You weren't
in your room this morning, either. Did you two have a sleepover?"
"I was on the couch," Sasuke snapped. His
voice lowered a few more degrees as he said, "I heard vacuuming this
morning and went to tell him to shut up. He made me breakfast in apology."
"Did he?" Itachi's tongue licked the shell
of Kisame's ear, and Sasuke took an unconscious step backward, still not sure
where this was going. "But, my dear little brother...the walls between
these apartments are soundproof." Kisame groaned and leaned backward.
Sasuke's eyes widened when he realized Itachi's hand had snaked its way into
the shark's pants. "Now, listen, little brother... I'm the one paying
Kisame to baby-sit you, but he's a little busy at the moment, savvy?"
Sasuke glared. "I'll call Deidara, then,"
he said frigidly.
The door closed and a second later, Sasuke heard a
body slam into the door and Kisame moan in pleasure. "Itachi..."
Sasuke spun on his heel and stormed out of the
apartment, quickly dialing the number of the bodyguard agency, Akatsuki.
"Good morning, Uchiha-san," said a
dangerous voice on the other line. "This is Orochimaru. Is Kisame out of
commission again? If he is, I myself would be more than happy to--"
"No, thank you," said Sasuke quickly. The
last time--and only time--he had unknowingly allowed Orochimaru to watch him,
the snake had made more than enough sexual advances to last him a lifetime.
"I--I don't want to be a burden. I was wondering if Deidara was in?"
Orochimaru sighed. "Are you sure you don't want
me--?"
"No!" He quickly covered himself. "I
mean, no, thank you. I'd rather have Deidara."
"Well, Deidara isn't in at the moment. He
already has a prior engagement. But I myself am absolutely free--"
"What about Pein?" Sasuke asked quickly.
"Pein is always in, right?" He laughed nervously.
Orochimaru sounded annoyed when he said, "Yes,
Pein is in. I'll send him over." Without another word, Orochimaru hung up
the phone.
Shaking off a shudder, Sasuke knocked on Naruto's
door. The door swung open, and Sasuke was met by Naruto's blinding smile.
"SASUKE!!!!" He pulled the brunette into a hug. "I have the
whole day planned out! Come on, let's go!"
Sasuke's face was pressed into Naruto's hair and he
sniffed curiously. He smiled inwardly, committing the smell of peaches and sunshine
that was Naruto to memory. He realized he was being pulled toward the elevator
and pulled back on Naruto. "Wait. I have to wait for my bodyguard."
"Kisame?" Naruto's eyes widened at the
sudden hate radiating in Sasuke's eyes. "Uh, sorry?"
Sasuke closed his eyes. "No, it's nothing.
Kisame's just a little...busy with Itachi at the moment." He opened his
eyes and smirked at Naruto's shocked expression. "What? Uncomfortable with
two men having sex?"
Naruto shook his head. "No, it's not that. It's
just... Damn, how can they do it so many times in one day? I mean, sometimes I
can barely get it up a third time! I can't imagine having sex so many times in
one day!"
Sasuke flushed as he thought about Naruto touching
himself, but quickly pushed the thoughts away. "I'd rather not think about
it. He's my brother."
"So, if Kisame's not going to watch you,"
said Naruto, completely unaware of how the situation would normally be
construed as "awkward beyond all belief," "then who is?"
"Pein."
"Eh? You're in pain?"
Sasuke started to laugh but caught himself. It was
not becoming of an Uchiha to show emotion. "No, that's his name.
Pein."
"Oh. Weird name. Then again, my name is
edible."
This time Sasuke couldn't help but laugh.
Naruto smiled. "Hey! I think that's the first time
I've heard you laugh! You have a nice laugh... You should do it more
often."
As Sasuke blushed, he realized that moving to this
new city was just the chance he needed. He had always felt held back by his
family's expectations and his brother's overpowering shadow. By moving to a new
place with new people, he could become anyone he wanted! He would no longer be
held back by the Uchiha name but would build up a new name for himself as
Sasuke.
"It's totally different from my laugh,"
said Naruto, laughing. "See? It's loud and obnoxious. I wish I could
change it, you know?"
"No, it's nice," Sasuke answered shyly,
surprising himself. He hadn't realized he could ever be shy.
Naruto was about to answer when the elevator doors
opened. He jumped when he saw a man with red hair emerge and more piercings
than any man should ever have. He narrowed his eyes when he saw Naruto, and his
hand was at his pocket when Sasuke stopped him.
"Ah! Pein! Wait! This is my friend,
Naruto!"
Pein's eyes laughed. "Friend?"
"Ah, never mind. Pein, we're going to take the
stairs. Get some exercise, you know?"
Naruto sighed thankfully. He would have been scared
out of his mind to be trapped in an elevator with this man, especially since
this Pein seemed to be hell bent on killing him.
"So, where are we going first?" Sasuke
asked when they were outside.
"Ah," said Naruto, holding his finger up to
his lips. "It's a secret!" Without warning, Naruto grabbed Sasuke by
the wrist and began hauling him down the street. When they arrived in front of the
movie theater, however, Sasuke put an immediate halt to their fun.
"No," he said sternly. "We are not going
to watch Insomniac's Dream. I refuse."
Naruto looked bemused. "I just saw it yesterday,
so of course we're not going to see it. Besides, you're in it. I can
imagine you wouldn't want to see it if you know the whole damn thing by
heart."
"Then...why are we at the movie theater?"
"Oh. Just to say 'hi' to one of my friends.
Besides that, this place has got a kick ass arcade. I told everyone to meet us
here." Naruto took hold of Sasuke's hand and dragged him inside.
The theater was set up so that straight ahead was the
concessions stand, to the right was the arcade, and to the left was a long
hallway with theaters on either side. The hallway was roped off at the moment,
but once the theater actually opened, an usher stood at the entrance and took
the ticket stubs. Because the arcade had such a pull as a hang out spot, it was
open twenty four hours a day. In the off hours, such as early morning, only one
employee was put in charge, but during peak hours, there could be up to five
employees standing watch over the rambunctious youngsters. Currently, Haku was
the only one in the arcade when Naruto and Sasuke entered.
"Hey, Haku!" greeted Naruto.
Haku was playing a game to pass the time and was
staring at the screen intently. He nodded his greeting toward Naruto, unwilling
to take his eyes from the game even for a moment. Naruto chuckled and waited
for Haku to finish.
"Kuso!" Haku hissed suddenly. "I can
never win at Pacman! I've been trying since my shift started at five!" He
turned around, and when he saw Sasuke, he jumped. "W--Whoa! Naruto, who's
your friend? He looks just like Uchiha Sasuke from Insomniac's Dream!"
Naruto laughed at Haku's reaction. "He is!"
Haku snorted. "Yeah right." He held his
hand out to Sasuke, who took it warily. "I'm Haku. I've known Naruto since
we were kids, even through all the foster care home switching shit."
"Haku's the one who's kept me sane," said
Naruto.
"And who are you?" Haku was smiling
pleasantly, and Sasuke felt drawn in by the warmth, almost convinced that
nothing could ever go wrong in the world.
"I'm Uchiha Sasuke," he said, inwardly
smirking when Haku's jaw dropped almost to the floor, "and this is my
bodyguard, Pein."
Pein scowled. "Sasuke, it's my job to remain
unnoticed. Don't call me your bodyguard."
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Whatever."
Haku stared at his hand for several moments.
"I--I've touched the Uchiha Sasuke...world's sexiest man... This is
like a dream come true...!"
Naruto laughed. "Don't let Zabuza hear you say
that!"
"Who's Zabuza?" Sasuke asked.
"He's Haku's boyfriend," Naruto answered.
"They've been dating for almost two years. Oh! Here he is!"
Zabuza walked in, followed by Shikamaru. They were
both introduced to Sasuke and both had expressions mirroring Haku's. All three
suddenly began asking Sasuke questions at the same time about life as a movie
star slash model. Naruto noticed the uncomfortable look on Sasuke's face and
immediately put a stop to the questions.
"Ano sa, ano sa! Don't you think Sasuke gets
enough of this rabid fan business? He's just a kid like you and me, so chill
out!"
"Where did you find him?" Shikamaru asked,
eyeing Sasuke with a mix between curiosity and adoration. Suddenly, he looked
very serious. "You didn't kidnap him, did you?"
Naruto laughed. "No! Of course not! This is my
new neighbor I was telling you about!"
"So jealous...," Haku whined.
At that moment, Kiba, Hinata, Neji, and Gaara entered
the room. They stopped dead in their tracks when they spotted Sasuke.
"N--Naruto?" Kiba said hesitantly.
"I--Is that who I think it is?"
Naruto smirked and placed his hand on Sasuke's
shoulder. "This is my new neighbor. Since he's new in town, I thought we
could show him around town, so be nice to Uchiha Sasuke."
Their jaws hit the floor at the same time. Gaara
began circling the brunette like a hawk, eyeing him from every angle. Hinata
squealed in delight before turning bright red and tapping her fingers together
anxiously. Kiba stuttered nonsense words, not quite able to form a coherent
sentence. Neji tried to look unimpressed but ended up having an interesting mix
of awe and bewilderment gracing his porcelain features.
Naruto let this go on for several seconds before he
finally broke down laughing. "Aaahhh! Your faces are priceless!
Goodness, you'd think he were a god the way you're staring at him!"
"He is a god," said Haku, lowering his
eyelids seductively. Zabuza growled low in his throat and gripped Haku by the
arm. Haku giggled and leaned into his boyfriend, turning his expression upward
and earning himself a light kiss.
"..." Sasuke didn't know what to say. He
had encountered strange fans before, but this was something to write home
about. He leaned over to Naruto and whispered, "Your friends are
weird."
Naruto laughed even harder. When he finally
recovered, he was able to make formal introductions. When the others had
finally calmed down a little, they waved goodbye to Haku and Zabuza and walked
outside to show Sasuke around town.
Halfway up the block, Neji glanced behind them.
"Naruto," he said softly, "that guy from the arcade is following
us."
"Oh," said Naruto, his face dropping.
"Yeah, that's Sasuke's bodyguard. Just...ignore him, I guess." He
turned to Sasuke. "Should we include Pein in our festivities?"
Sasuke shook his head. "No, thanks. I don't even
want him to be here, but Itachi insists that I have a bodyguard at all
times. And I suppose that makes sense, but...if he didn't keep fucking them, I
would probably have even less of a problem."
"Oh."
"We're here!" Kiba announced happily as
their group stopped outside Might Gym, which was run by Mighto Guy and his son,
Lee.
"A gym?" Gaara said skeptically. "Come
on, Sasuke doesn't want to see a gym..."
Neji eyed the place warily. "Plus, we don't want
Lee following us, do we?"
Naruto sighed. "Under normal circumstances, I
would avoid this place while Lee is working like the plague, but...I promised
I'd do him a favor today. I promised too hook him up with Sakura."
Kiba's jaw dropped. "No way! Naruto, I thought
you had a thing for Sakura!"
Naruto shrugged. "Yeah, well, it was just a
thing. But I'm over her now. Here, I'll go get Lee." He disappeared and
emerged several minutes later with the infamous Lee, bowl cut, massive
eyebrows, green jump suit, and all.
"Let's adventure forward with the spirit of
YOUTH!" Lee shouted as a way of greeting. "Please wait for me, my
pink blossom of love!" Without another word, he ran five quick laps around
their group. He would have run more, but Naruto warned him that Sakura wouldn't
appreciate Lee showing up at her doorsteps covered in sweat stains.
As their group made their way to the Haruna
residence, Sasuke got to know the others a little bit more. He felt at ease
with Naruto and his friends, an emotion he had never felt before but suddenly
felt himself craving. Sasuke also felt grateful that his career wasn't
mentioned once; for the first time in his life, he felt like a normal person.
Lee stared at Sakura's house, trembling as he,
Naruto, and Sasuke approached the front door while the others stood watching
from the road. Naruto pressed the doorbell and Sakura answered moments later.
"Naru~kuuun...!" Sakura put on an
expression she thought of as sexy but Naruto found as rather amusing.
"What a surprise! Is there something I can...do for you?"
"Yeah," said Naruto. "I know I
promised to take you on a date some time, but I was wondering if Lee could take
my place. You see, I'm showing my new friend here around town--"
Sakura eyed Sasuke and froze. "I--Is that--?"
She squealed and jumped up and down. Sasuke hid behind Naruto, quickly
recognizing the signs of a rabid fangirl and suddenly glad that Pein was close
by to save him if the situation turned dire.
However, Naruto saved him. "This is my friend
Nanasawa Hatori. He just moved into the apartment next to mine."
"Oh. You know, he looks just like Uchiha
Sasuke..."
Naruto gave her a funny look. "From Insomniac's
Dream?" He glanced from Sasuke back to Sakura. "No way! You must
be dreaming! They look nothing alike!" He laughed. "So, anyway, Lee's
going to be taking you on your date now." He shoved Lee toward Sakura and
bolted, dragging Sasuke along behind him.
"Thanks," said Sasuke several minutes
later.
"No problem," said Naruto.
The seven of them arrived in the park and Shikamaru
immediately laid down in the grass by the lake watching as the clouds drifted
lazily by.
"Kiba-kun!" said Hinata, taking him by the
hand. "Let's go rent a boat, and we can have lunch on the lake!"
Naruto grinned. "That's a great idea, Hina-chan!
Sasuke, Gaara, and I will go to the store and get some stuff to eat!"
"And what will I do?" Neji asked testily.
Shikamaru reached up and pulled Neji down next to
him. He moved so his head was resting in his lap and said, "Keep me
company, baka."
Naruto laughed before taking both Sasuke and Gaara by
the hands and dragging them off to the nearest grocery store.
"It's such a beautiful park," Sasuke
commented as they passed under a grove of cherry trees. "Such a beautiful
day, too."
Naruto grinned. "And such beautiful people to
keep me company."
Sasuke blushed, but Gaara snorted. "Naruto,
you're so full of it. Besides, I doubt anyone would be interested in you."
Naruto stopped. "You take that back!"
Naruto tried to sound ferocious, but it was lost by the large grin plastered
across his face.
Gaara rolled his eyes and crossed his arms, obviously
used to this game the two played. "No one would ever be interested in such
an idiot like you," he repeated.
"Teme...," Naruto growled. He grabbed Gaara
by the front of his shirt and pushed their lips together in a rough kiss.
Sasuke looked on as Gaara tangled his hand in Naruto's hair and ground his hips
into Naruto's. At first Sasuke was shocked but then he felt a sharp pain in his
heart--was it jealousy?
'Keh!' Sasuke reprimanded himself. 'What do you have
to be jealous about? You just met this idiot. Of course such an embodiment of
perfection would already have a boyfriend! Like hell you'd even have a chance
with him...'
The two broke apart, laughing. "Sorry about
that," said Naruto to Sasuke, nervously rubbing the back of his head with
his hand. "It's just a joke Gaara and I play from time to time. I know
it's weird, but..." He laughed again.
"Oh."
Gaara waited until Naruto had started walking again
before asking Sasuke softly, "Are you okay? You look depressed..."
"It's nothing," Sasuke lied, suddenly
feeling an immense hatred toward the redhead.
Gaara shrugged and sped up to catch up to Naruto.
Feeling dejected, Sasuke hung back, watching the pair in front of him. A few
paces later, Naruto turned around, that gorgeous, breathtaking smile gracing
his features. "Come on, Sasuke! You're missing the party!"
"I can give you a kiss, too, if you want,"
Gaara mocked.
"No, thanks," Sasuke said in a voice he
usually reserved for his brother.
Gaara looked as if he had been slapped across the
face and refused to say another word all the way to the store.
The trio returned hauling tons of groceries and saw
that Hinata and Kiba already had the small boat ready. Shikamaru had fallen
asleep in Neji's lap and it took several tries to wake him. Sasuke was feeling
a little less jealous and was back to treating Gaara nicely. They had a nice
lunch as the boat drifted lazily across the lake.
Nearly an hour later, the boat had finally made its
way to the middle of the lake. Naruto suddenly jumped up, stripped down to his
boxers, and dove into the water. He resurfaced a few seconds later, shaking the
water from his eyes and laughing. "Come on in!" he called. "The
water's great!"
Without hesitating, Kiba stripped down and dove in as
well, purposely aiming for Naruto's head.
"Be careful!" Hinata called, tapping her
fingers together nervously.
"Come on in, Hinata!" Kiba called, staring
at her lecherously.
Hinata glared. "N--No, thank you, Kiba-kun."
"Sasuke?" Naruto said. "Wanna come
in?"
Under normal circumstances, Sasuke might have joined
them in the lake, but seeing Naruto undress had directed the blood flow away
from his brain and toward more...interesting parts of his body. He couldn't undress
in front of everyone sporting an erection--he would die of embarrassment!
"Ah, boo!" said Naruto when Sasuke shook
his head. "Gaara?"
Gaara also shook his head, although he offered an
explanation. "Sorry, Naruto. I went commando today. If Hinata-chan weren't
here...maybe."
Hinata blushed. "Th--Th--Thank you,
G--Gaara-kun."
Gaara shrugged.
"Neji?" Naruto asked hopefully.
Neji put a finger to his lips. "Shh! Shikamaru's
asleep." Shikamaru shifted in Neji's lap, which brought a rare smile to
Neji's thin lips.
Sighing, Naruto said dejectedly, "Fine, I see
how it is. Way to leave me hangin'."
"Don't forget about me!!!" Kiba shouted as
he dunked Naruto's head under the water. Those on the boat laughed when Naruto
grabbed Kiba's leg and pulled him under as well. When they surfaced, Neji made
a show of checking his watch before saying, "It's getting late. Maybe we
should head in."
"Don't you dare leave me, teme!!!" Naruto
shouted.
"What about me?" Kiba yelled, scrambling as
fast as he could through the water toward the boat. "If you leave me, I'll
kill you!!! ...Except you, Hinata."
Shikamaru cracked one eye open. "Could you keep
it down, please?" he growled. "I'm sleeping."
Fifteen minutes later, Sasuke had finally willed his
erection away and felt comfortable getting in the lake. He stood up and took
off his shirt. "All right!" he announced. "I'm getting in,
Naruto."
Naruto, who had been in the process of dunking Kiba,
froze when his eyes met his naked torso. Sasuke had the skin of finest
porcelain and the faintest hint of muscles. When he removed his pants, Naruto
followed the line of dark hair down to the hem of his boxers before licking his
lips subconsciously. He was suddenly caught off guard when Kiba hit him with a
wave of water. He resurfaced, coughing water out of his lungs.
"You okay?" Sasuke asked, already in the
water.
Naruto nodded, his eyes tearing up. He coughed once
more before his lungs were clear. He glanced at Kiba before shouting,
"Teme!!! I'm going to kill you!!!"
On the boat, Shikamaru smirked. "Keep it down,
you two! Don't make me come in there and kill you."
On the other side of the boat, Gaara had also taken
notice of Sasuke's beauty. Contrary to what others believed, he had no sexual
attraction to the loud ball of energy called Naruto. They had started their
kissing game when every one else in their group of friends was in a
relationship. Haku had Zabuza and shortly after, Kiba finally worked up the
courage to ask out Hinata. It was only recently that Shikamaru and Neji became
an item. Naruto and Gaara began to joke that one day they would end up getting
together, so they started up their kissing game whenever their moods called for
it. They never did more than kiss, however, and because they were such close
friends, they were able to keep it as a joke and nothing more.
However...this Sasuke...
Gaara watched as Sasuke dunked Naruto, laughing. He
could tell the two were attracted to each other but knew that they would never
admit it--especially not to each other. While he would normally have made a
move on the new object of his affection, he had enough respect for Naruto to
give him the chance with the movie star that he deserved. After all, Naruto was
the first real friend Gaara had ever had.
In the lake, Sasuke and Kiba had teamed up on the blond
and were continuously dunking him until they all finally collapsed in a fit of
exhausted laughter. They floated around for a while before climbing back in the
boat to let the sun dry their bodies before they dressed and rowed back to
shore.
A soft, melodic line drifted across the lake,
unnoticed by the tight group of friends. On the shore, Pein flipped open his
cell phone. "Hai, Itachi."
"Pein... What's my little brother doing
now?"
Pein relayed the situation.
Itachi smiled. However, this smile held no light or
positivity that a normal smile should have. Instead, it was a dark smile that
promised doom. "Really? With the blond? Oh, trust me... This will not end
well for our little pop star."
Kisame smirked from under the covers and waited for
his lover to finish the call before remarking, "Aren't you being a little
hard on him? He's your brother, after all. Should you be a little nice to
him?"
Itachi's laugh was hollow. "You're kidding,
right?"
"Of course."
Kisame reached up and pulled Itachi to him, kissing
him roughly before rolling them over and straddling his waist. He kissed along
his neck and down his torso, but Itachi pushed him away and grabbed a pair of
his discarded pants. "Itaachiii...." Kisame moaned. "Come on,
you know I won't get too many more days off... We have to make the best of
it." He ran a finger down Itachi's back and stopped at the base of his
spinal column.
Itachi groaned but pulled on his pants anyway.
"Kisame, what do you say we take a little walk."
"Where to?"
"Well," said Itachi adopting a noble
facade, "as my little brother's bodyguard, you should find out everything
there is to know about his little friends, right?"
Kisame smirked. "Oh? Is that your plan?" He
laughed. "All right, all right. But don't get mad at me when I have to
work all day tomorrow. You know I'm going to catch hell for this from
Orochimaru."
"Don't worry about it. You know I can appease
that snake."

Dun dun duuuuuun!!! What is Itachi planning?! Surely he
can't be as evil as he seems! (And in this fic, he is!)

By the way, Naruto's little midnight snack -- seriously,
the best thing I've ever eaten. I'm really bad at coming up with snack ideas
because we never buy anything...so I have all this stuff to make other stuff
with (like chicken and peanut butter and bread) and nothing already made (like
chips, what normal people eat), so whenever I'm hungry, I always manage to make
the weirdest things. Or I just eat a whole bunch of different things in small
portions. Like pickels and then buttered toast and then strawberries. I'm like
a pregnant woman, I swear, with all of the crazy cravings I get, too. But!
Anyway! So, the Ramen noodles / peanut butter / honey thing is delicious. I
prefer, actually, to heat the peanut butter and honey and then dip the noodles
into it, but whatever. Anywho, so -- if you want, send me your own snack ideas
in a review! Because a hungry author never writes! :) (Just kidding. Right now,
it's like midnight and I'm starving, and I have a hankering for baby back ribs.
But nooo! I can't go to Chilis! So I write! :D)

Oh, and I'm sorry if any of you like Lee. I put him in a
kind of bad light because I can't fucking stand him! Also, I can't stand Sakura
or Guy. I try not to be bias when writing fanfiction, but sometimes my hatred
gets away from me. They just suck as characters. But, anyway, have any of you
seen Bedazzled with Brendan Frasier (mmm....) and Elizabeth Hurley? Anywho, Lee
reminds me of Brendan Frasier's character, and how he thinks everyone likes him
and he's so cool but secretly every one hates him and tries to avoid him like
their lives depend on it. Maybe I'm being too hard on him?

Please feed the review whore. :)
