A/N: This story was part of an MP3 player play list challenge I put myself through. Put MP3 player on random then create a one shot/story for the first three or more songs that play. It ended up inspiring a full story, not just a one shot. This story will consist of multiple songs, some of which - such as this first chapter - will be divided into two chapters a piece. As mentioned in summary, there is a full plot as well as a lemon - maybe more than one - and if there are any tags or warnings I have left off I will make note of them before the chapter it is to occur upon. Pairing is of course Naru/Sasu and Sasu/Naru. Well I'm really hoping that they are as enjoyable for you to read as they are for me to write! And I'd love to know what you think so I may improve as I go along! Without further adieu....

The air outside was crisp, sun setting in the distance as Naruto weaved his way through the crowded train station. He wouldn't have known though... Pushing forward through the grey mass of businessmen, he itched to be free of the stifling underground enclosure. He wondered idly where he’d ended up and threw his arms behind his head knowing it mattered not. There was always somewhere to sleep, even if it ended up being outside…. Up a small flight of stairs, to the right…. Following signs with little arrows which he could only hope would lead him out. Instead though he found himself at the boarding platform of another train…There were far fewer people here, most of which appeared more rugged around the edges. Brief cases battered, shoes that did not appear to have been hit by an oil slick…These people probably lived closer to rural areas…

Naruto had planned on getting off the train here, but seeing as how the exit had eluded him, he only imagined it must have been for a reason. He paid the fare and joined the line already waiting, his bright orange and blue T-shirt stood out sorely against the backdrop of bland poorly tailored suits. His blonde hair made it blatantly apparent he was better acquainted with the city's less than professional aspects. His striking appearance caused the men in line to shift uncomfortably. It’s not like they didn’t see it every day during their commutes, the street kids milling about in their odd clothing. Naruto , supposed he might be a little extreme in their opinion. He took to chewing on his chapped bottom lip, the mark of a bad habit which was off-set by a hoop. Centered and actually somewhat discreet due to it's small gauge, the piercing suited him well. Coupled with his spiky blonde hair, and the whiskers delicately tattooed on his cheeks, he was clearly not a conservative suburban dwelling youth.

It was not long before the train pulled into place and the passengers on board began filing out. Once emptied, save for a few who were apparently headed for the next destination, the line of stragglers shuffled into different compartments. Naruto headed for the last one. Upon first glance he’d thought it to be vacant, though as he scanned for a seat long enough to stretch out upon, he noticed a dark haired boy about his age, give or take a year. The lines of his face were sharp and angular. Something about him set Naruto on edge… He was very attractive. He had to admit to himself as he sat his few belongings down in a seat diagonally across from the beautiful stranger, who until now had not been aware that he had company.

Laying down he used his messenger bag as a pillow. The train doors closed and they disembarked to… anywhere… Minutes passed...

Naruto listened dazedly to the sounds of the railway. Metal on metal, hollow echoes reverberating through the tunnel systems. Lights filtering in through the windows as they passed them and then shifting, morphing into shadows that were soon to be replaced by the next light they passed… On and on the pattern continued. Counting them, watching them cast darkness and light over the other passenger then staring blankly up at the luggage rack the blonde found himself drifting to sleep.

Come up to meet you…Tell you I’m sorry…

“Do you have relatives that live in Tama Hills?”

A deep voice filled the silent void of the rattling train car. Startled, Naruto shook himself awake and sat up.
“Ah…Come again? My Japanese isn't perfect…” He managed to say without butchering the pronunciations too badly. He’d lived in Japan for a few years now and could mostly speak fluently. At times though, he had difficulties keeping up if he didn’t listen carefully. He scratched his head feeling embarrassed for having to ask.

“I asked if you have relatives that live in Tama Hills” The stranger huffed. Annoyance for having to repeat his question.

Taken aback by the fact he had been addressed, then treated as a bother, Naruto sifted for an answer that might give him a reprieve; alas his efforts were in vein. Not sure what to say he smiled brightly and decided on the truth…

“Nope! Just looking for an interesting place to sleep!” Cringing at how daft he’d sounded.
“Ano…I mean…I actually have no clue where this train is headed…” He confessed as he lowered his hand and almost buried his face into his palm. Naruto turned to look out his window as they exited the tunnels and emerged above ground in an area he’d never seen before…

“Ch!” The scoffing noise emanated from the pale dark stranger like acid. “Dobe..” The mumble was just barely audible over the noise of the train.

Naruto sat dumbfounded by how openly offensive this young man was deliberately trying to be. Well fine, then he would just simply ignore him. He saw no reason to engage in conversation with someone so reluctant to be kind. His disappointment was well hidden. He didn’t know this exact insult, but he’d heard it used before and the reactions it elicited from those on the receiving end. Well he wouldn’t take the bait… When he’d first spotted this individual he’d thought he might like to know who he was… Now he wasn’t so sure about that. In fact he decided he was quite sure.

That was…Until he caught the smirk sitting light as a feather on his lips, warm with amusement. Until their eyes met, and he began to drown. Falling down, down, further into the depths of the saddest eyes he’d ever encountered. They were dull with heartache, cold and dispassionate. Maybe he’d only imagined the twinkle of hope, for it was gone before he could blink... He was stunning!....

You don’t know how lovely you are….

Backing down had never been something he was accustomed to and he was unsure why he’d deemed now the time to hesitate…His heart raced for a fraction of an eternal moment… Even if they parted ways at the end of this conversation, Naruto knew that to forget would be impossible…

“Dobe! Dobe! Dobe!” Naruto shot back defiantly. Mockingly. It might have been far wiser not to upset someone who seemed so fragile, but he himself had been met with nothing but hardships in his life. He’d never treated a perfect stranger with such casual disregard. Certainly he’d done nothing to deserve it, so he figured this person before him was likely not challenged by anyone. A little shove might be just what the doctor ordered…

Earsplitting silence surrounded them. The deafening roar of conflicting feelings raged a storm within the other teens mind. Naruto could see the waves of emotions flit this way and that behind a carefully – and almost perfectly – constructed facade. It was obvious that not just anyone cracked through his defenses.

Surprisingly a hand bridged the gap between them, offering a silent accord. Naruto crossed his arms. Stubborn was his middle name. Peering at the outstretched hand, he noticed it was bone and sinew, petite, but firm. There was a controlled strength to the way he carried himself and somehow it made Naruto that much more apt to reach out and test his observations…

“What’s your name?” He demanded, arms still crossed with a sly foxy grin.

It passed through the pompous adolescent’s mind to take back his hand, but he would not be so weak… “Uchiha Sasuke” His voice was quite mature for his age Naruto thought as he nodded and concentrated hard on not shivering. Satisfied with this answer, as though it made up for the previous conversation he took his hand in greeting.

“Uzumaki Naruto!” The grin – if possible – spread exponentially wider. His judgment had been correct. This Sasuke character possessed strength to rival his own. Naruto found himself reluctant to let go, but would have sooner jumped off a bridge than be 'that creepy guy' on the train. Sasuke attempted to keep their hands touching as they slid apart.
A detail Naruto was acutely aware of. His stomach fluttered and his heart was set to motion frantically once more. Bright blue eyes began to widen...
Who was this guy?
It had to be the reason he'd not found his way out of the train station. Somewhere deep within his instincts he knew this serendipitous occurrence was not to be wasted...

I had to find you..Tell you I need you...

Sasuke appeared to be sharing this sentiment, the glimmer of hope peeking through his shielded charcoal gaze did not settle there for long but it was undeniably real...

“It's very nice to meet you” Naruto bowed slightly, regardless of any moment suspended in wonder, he did not want to be disrespectful. Besides, his cheeks were burning. He cursed the sky above for that small fact. He'd met plenty of attractive people and never had such trouble keeping his composure. Sasuke had affected him so strongly with only a few words exchanged...He had to be losing it!

“And you...” The reply was short, pleasant, and a slight bit strained.

The rest of the train ride passed with them conversing easily about nothing in particular. Naruto asked about where the train was going to let off. 'Tama Hills' Sasuke explained was a suburban outskirt of Tokyo. It served as transition from the bustling city to he sprawling rural landscape of the mountains. He'd also discovered Sasuke was younger, nineteen to his twenty-one, a fact surprising simply from the protective way he conducted himself. Every move calculated, and graceful. Maybe he practiced some form of martial arts?

An hour had almost gone by before the train approached a smaller, above ground station. Brimming with an unhealthy amount of curiosity – Naruto fidgeted – rolling his lip ring nervously, expecting this would be the end...The thought of possibly never seeing hm again causing his heart to clench. But Why?...

Tell you I set you apart...

Obviously this individual was infuriatingly pompous, and charismatic despite his mood shifts, but Naruto met people like that on the streets all the time. People who believed they ruled the road. The fact that he could not bring himself to simply wave and walk away had his stomach tied up in knots.
He stood slowly, catching a glimpse of Sasuke in his peripherals. He appeared to be agonizing over his next move as well. Eyes darting back and forth, black satin hair cascading elegantly down his jaw line.

Gathering his belongings, Naruto turned away just as he thought his companion might burst...

“I...I'm SORRY!” Sasuke blurted as he jumped to his feet with far too much vigor.
“For...Before....” He added as he picked up a satchel and took a tentative step towards the blonde.

Naruto blinked a few times in astonishment. Clearly Sasuke was not accustomed to apologies. The awkward yelp caused him to think better of walking away from this new acquaintance. He radiantly smiled, for he felt he might have just found a new friend... He could never hope for more... Not everyone was as... Open as he was. He was undeniably attracted to Sasuke, but the chances of that being mutual were entirely improbable.

“No worries, really!” Naruto gave a loud nervous laugh. Something about Sasuke had him stumped.
A loud overhead speaker informed them to stay back as the train doors opened...

“Hey... I know nothing about this place...” He hesitantly offered. “Think you might spare me a few minutes? Show me where I might be able to post up for the night? Or grab a bite to eat?”
Sasuke, deep in thought, was visibly overwhelmed with relief... Relief? This puzzled the Uzumaki greatly. Dwelling upon it would do them no good though, so he let it go.

Sasuke's reply was somewhat cautious, as though he were being skittish of anymore interaction.

“S... Sure!... I mean, I'm early anyways. I suppose I don't mind, I mean... Yeah!” Cheeks flushed yet again. A signal of how socially inept he was.

Naruto threw his fist into the air, like some victory had been won.

“ALRIIIGHT! Tour guide!” 'This is the best!' He finished his thought inwardly. Maybe he wouldn't be so lonely tonight after all... Sasuke's lips upturned into what Naruto could only imagine must have been a smile. This action was also alien to the stoic youngster.

Together they stepped off the train, two individuals lost in two completely different ways. The night air tousled their hair playfully, sending leaves dancing in every direction... Nothing out of the ordinary, but Naruto felt at peace as he peered around. The city was certainly his passion, he required chaos to function for any real length of time, but Tama Hills possessed a natural charm he could not quite place.

“This way!” Sasuke was already halfway down the platform headed for the main road into town. Enthusiasm lit his face, softening the sharp planes of his cheeks.

Snapping out of his reverie, Naruto stumbled clumsily forward, trying to catch up. He was glad to see a lively spark in such sad eyes... They walked quickly into town. Sasuke directing attention to a few select shops – in as few words as was possible Naruto had noticed – until they came upon a small restaurant with obnoxious neon lights in the windows.

One word in particular caught His attention:

“Ramen!” Naruto's mouth instantly watered as the shout startled his guide. 'Oh man better and better!!!' His conscience cheered. The wild boy thrust his fist once more into the air, another victory in less than mere minutes.

Sasuke gawked at him in disbelief. He'd suggested some of the more popular places to eat, but this place was a hole in the wall. Granted their ramen was top notch, it was simply an outdated dish that most passed by these days. It took some concentration on Sasuke's part not to crack a real smile. He couldn't even remember when last he'd been compelled to do so, let alone been hard pressed not to.

“It's decided then!” Naruto was opening the door before Sasuke could blink. The fluorescent lighting was harsh and far too bright, as he moved eagerly to the counter, knowing just what he wanted....

They both ate, again slipping into a rhythm of speech that set them at ease with one another. Perfect strangers dining, exploring likes and dislikes and topics of that sort.

About the time Naruto slurped up the last of his ramen, he realized he'd been granted everything he'd asked of Sasuke... He had spotted the motel as Sasuke pointed to another building – not that he could afford to stay there – and he was now well fed. It seemed that when their time together was stretched thin the race for excuses ensued. Excuses to not part ways. Of course with modern technology they could have exchanged social networking information and been on their way...

Sasuke cleared his throat...

“I uh... Hope this is not too bold of me to ask, but you mentioned before that you were looking for somewhere to sleep?...In what sense did you mean that statement? It seemed evasive. Like you were speaking truth, but trying to hide a detail you didn't feel the need to share.”

A quiet rage roiled within Naruto's blood. He'd not wanted to be so readable, but it was a curse. It was a lost cause, mystery was never his game. Not that he was trying to keep Sasuke guessing or anything... Or was he? His sub conscience whispered a resounding yes... He'd not really meant to, but it was too late. He could not be angry at Sasuke for his blatant observation. That didn't make it any easier for Naruto to keep his composure. He was angry for now being in a situation that would entail an explanation. That was not Sasuke's fault though. He sighed, averting his gaze to the ground.

“Well, I wasn't lying if that's what you mean.. I just... Oh I can't believe I'm telling you this....” Shame. It changed his entire demeanor. Engraving a hardness not yet seen upon his normally smiling face. It was only then that Sasuke realized how many of his smiles had seemed forced.

“Just... Not here. Please?” He stood up. Guessing it would do him better to have fresh air to discuss this with someone he'd only just met. Worried the circumstances at hand might scare Sasuke away.

Tell me your secrets... And ask me your questions...

They walked for so long without a word uttered that Sasuke was feeling the faintest traces of annoyance creep up... They were just at the edge of a park when Naruto ran. Ran hard, as though there was something behind him about to tear him to shreds. Instantaneously Sasuke followed suit.

“Oi! Naruto! What the hell!?...”

Up a hill at the center of the park, then to a halt at it's peak. Naruto plopped down, out of breath.

“Ehehehehee!” Eyes squinted together and cheeks scrunched up, the whiskers adding an animalistic charm to the blonde that was slightly unnerving. Sasuke clinched his jaw tight biting back his impatience. The sound escaping Naruto was far too innocent to be coming from someone his age. Deciding anger would probably only serve to exacerbate his companion's nerves he held his tongue for the moment. It paid off...

“No use in beating around the bush I guess...” Reluctant still...Naruto used his teeth to shift his lip ring around again, then chewed a moment on his lips...

“I eh... I really don't exactly have a home. Sooo... I wander a lot... Sometimes I go north, Sometimes I go east to the coast... Sleep on the beach... And tonight?...” A wistful expression took it's place upon his features, his eyes fixed on the stars above. The sky was cloudless, sparkling with an iridescent twinkle. Velvet and smooth. Close enough to touch...
“I'm here...”

Oh lets go back to the start...

A/N: 2am! Falling sleep.. I think this is a wonderful place to leave off! ^.^ I'll Update as soon as I can! Praying I have captured the feel of the song with this so far! :P
