Naruto inhaled deeply as his mind fought for consciousness. He didn’t want to wake up just yet, but he still had one exam, and he knew he had to study for it. And it was one of the worst ones, too. Math.

Grumbling, Naruto started to roll onto his back so he could sit up, but the hand around his waist kept him pressed against Sasuke’s chest.

“Stay.” Sasuke whispered, his voice thick with sleep.

“Bastard, you don’t have any exams left.”

“It’s tomorrow.” the raven insisted, rubbing his cheek against the top of Naruto’s head. “You have loads of time.”

Naruto just sighed. He hadn’t even opened his eyes yet, and to be honest, he was more than content to just lay in bed all day with Sasuke. He rested his head more comfortably against Sasuke’s shoulder, drawing patterns against Sasuke’s smooth skin. It made him feel bad to know he wasn’t as smooth for Sasuke.

His scars had been a big problem for him when he was a child. He’d never changed in the PE locker room until everyone was gone, and it had taken him a long time to ignore them and just get on with his life. They were harder to see now, since his skin had darkened as he’d grown older, but they were the kind of scars one could feel if they ran their fingers over them.

Naruto frowned as he heard something snap outside their open window, and he raised his head, frowning at the blinds.

“What is it?” Sasuke asked confused.

Naruto didn’t reply; he just narrowed his eyes, trying to see through the folds in the blinds. He saw one of them raise and then lower quickly and he let out a sigh, lying back down on Sasuke’s shoulder.

“Genma’s there again.” he informed the raven.

“Fuck!” Sasuke growled angrily. “Get me my gun!” he ordered as he rolled to the side, forcing Naruto to let him go and rest his head on the mattress instead.

“You can’t shoot him out of the tree.” Naruto sighed, rolling onto his back and stretching.

“Watch me!” Sasuke growled, looking through the pile of clothes on the floor for his gun.

“If you shoot me, I can’t grade Naruto’s exam!” Genma called from outside, perched in the tree beside their bedroom window with binoculars. “Besides, Kakashi will confiscate the gun if you use it for no reason.”

“I do have a reason.” the raven exclaimed as he raised the blinds, glaring out at the perverted professor. “You’re trying to catch a glimpse of my Naruto naked!”

“I’m not naked!” Naruto insisted.

“Territorial there, aren’t you, Sasuke?” Genma smirked, ignoring Naruto.

Naruto jumped off the bed, hugging Sasuke from behind and looking at Genma, his chin on the other boy’s shoulder.

“If you want to see some real action, Genma, you should head over to Kakashi’s.” Sasuke’s head whipped around to look at the blond. He wouldn’t, would he? “After all, Sasuke and I haven’t had sex yet, but I can assure you that Kakashi is.”

Apparently, he would, Sasuke smirked. Poor Kakashi.

Genma’s eyes lit up at Naruto’s words, and Sasuke could practically see the pervert in Genma laughing maniacally, a wall of fire erected behind him in the typical bad-guy way.

“Kakashi has a boyfriend?”

“A cute one.” Sasuke offered, helping the blond. “They’re probably together right now.” Both boys blinked, and Genma was gone. “Kakashi’s going to kill you.” Sasuke informed the blond.

“Perhaps. But he already marked our essays, so what do I care?” He smirked as he kissed the raven’s shoulder and pulled away, heading for his desk and falling into his chair, still wearing his boxers. He pulled out his math book and opened it, beginning to read what was written on the page as he picked up a pencil and tapped it against a piece of paper sitting beside the book.

Sasuke went over to him and wrapped his arms around the blond’s neck, kissing his cheek. “Come back to bed. You can do this later.”

“No, I really can’t.” Naruto sighed. “You can go back to bed if you want.”

“But over there is so cold and lonely.” Sasuke said in a pitiful voice. Naruto almost gave in. Almost. Luckily, he was saved from giving in by Sasuke’s phone ringing.

Sighing, the raven released his blond boy-toy and walked to his shelf, snatching the annoying piece of technology and opening it.

“Sasuke, please tell Naruto I am going to murder him.”

“Naruto, you’re dead meat.” Sasuke said monotonously.

“Payback for telling Genma about Sasuke and I!” the blond yelled, loud enough for Kakashi to hear.

“Sasuke and me.” the silver-haired man growled in correction. “Good thing I’m going home for Christmas. Speaking of which, it’s why I called. What are your plans for Christmas break?”

“Going to Naruto’s.” Sasuke replied.

“Are you, now?”

“Yeah, I’m going to molest him as often as possible while we’re together.”

“You already do.” the blond reminded him.

“This is true.” Sasuke smirked, leaning back against his cupboard. “Should I not expect to see you until next term, then, Hatake?”

“I arranged for you and Naruto to have me as your professor again. Since I’m lazy, I figured I would be a good professor for the two of you.” Kakashi smirked.

“Thanks. Naruto applied for all the same courses as last term, except one level up. Provided he passes all his classes, he’s registered with all the same professors again.”

“I did the same for you.” Sasuke almost fell over.

“What?” he asked darkly.

Naruto shivered as he felt a killer aura surround him. He spun around to see where it was coming from and his eyes widened. Sasuke was pissed.

“I have Gai—again?” the raven asked, looking ready to kill anything in his line of sight. Naruto stood up and shifted slowly to the side so he wasn’t in his boyfriend’s immediate view.

“Gai loved having you in his class.” Kakashi replied evenly. “Besides, aren’t you happy you can do horribly and he’ll still pass you? Suck it up, Sasuke.” The raven heard shuffling for a few seconds, and then Kakashi’s voice returned, except he wasn’t talking to Sasuke. “Genma, I swear to God, I will shoot your ass!”

“That’s what Sasuke said!” Genma’s faint voice rang down the line. “Why are the two of you so violent?!”

Sasuke hung up the phone and let out a long sigh. Another semester of Gai. He was going to go insane. He wasn’t sure how much more of the green-clad man he could take before he eventually turned into him! He was already fairly sure Genma was rubbing off on him, because every time he saw Naruto, he wanted to ravish him. Sasuke had never thought about sex so often in his life. Damn Genma, the raven thought annoyed. (1)

“Are you—going to kill me?” Sasuke turned to Naruto, confused, as he heard the blond’s timid voice.

“No, of course not. Why would I?” he inquired.

“You look like you want to kill someone and being the only person present, I was kind of scared it was going to be me.” Sasuke smirked and padded back to his boyfriend, kissing him on the forehead before wrapping his arms around him.

“No, I can’t kill you. I’ll lose my toy.”

“Toy?!” The blond demanded, his eyes narrowed. “Is that all I am to you?”

“Of course not.” Sasuke smirked. “You’re seventy-percent toy and thirty-percent friend.”

“Bastard.” Naruto tried to wiggle out of his grasp, but Sasuke held him fast.

“Don’t think you can escape me.” Sasuke breathed in his ear. “You know you can’t.” Sasuke ran his hands along Naruto’s exposed back and the blond sighed, resting his forehead on Sasuke’s shoulder.

“You suck, Uchiha.”

“Is that an offer, Uzumaki?” Sasuke smirked.

“Dammit, you’re acting like Genma!” Naruto exclaimed. “I swear, the pervert is rubbing off on you.”

“The only one I want rubbing off on me is you, Naruto.”

“Stop it!” Naruto pushed Sasuke away. “You’re so perverted!” The blond covered his ears. “I’m still innocent, don’t corrupt me.”

“Too late for that.” The raven smirked as he plopped down in Naruto’s chair. The blond sighed.

“Move, please.”

“Why?”

“I need that chair.” he replied evenly.

“So what’s stopping you?” the raven asked innocently, leaning back in it.

“You’re sitting in it.”

Before the blond could say anything else, Sasuke had spun him around and forced the blond into his lap. Naruto let out an undignified yelp as he sat down on his boyfriend.

“There.” Sasuke breathed as he kissed the blond’s neck. “All better.”

“And how am I supposed to work?” Naruto inquired, blushing slightly.

“What’s stopping you?”

“You’re hard!” Naruto accused, blushing even more.

“Well, what do you expect? Your ass is dangerously close to my crotch. The fact that we’re both only wearing one layer of clothing isn’t helping much, either.”

“Sasuke.” the blond whined. “I have to study.”

“So study.” Sasuke insisted, caressing Naruto’s stomach with his thumb and kissing just behind his right shoulder.

“Hey guys, want brea—”

“Out!” Sasuke and Naruto hollered, turning to him.

Kiba jumped a mile high, his hand reaching frantically for the doorknob and slamming the door shut. He leaned his back against the door, panting.

“Jesus Christ! Lock the fucking door!” he hollered through the door.

“Learn to knock!” Naruto retorted.

“I do knock!” the brunette insisted before pushing off the door and walking back towards his room. He passed by Shino’s door, the other boy cocking an eyebrow at him as he passed.

“Something the matter, Inuzuka?”

“Shino, I don’t know if it’s such a good idea to go to Naruto’s place for Christmas.” The brunette shook his head. “We may see more than we ever wanted to.”

In Naruto and Sasuke’s room, they were both silently fuming at having the mood broken.

“Stupid Kiba. Always showing up at the worst times.” Naruto grumbled. Sasuke just laughed, holding Naruto tighter.

“What do you want for Christmas, Naruto?”

“Nothing. I’m good.” the blond replied as he leaned forward, tapping his chin with his pencil. He had to study, and nothing Sasuke did was going to stop him!

Sasuke leaned forward so his lips were right against Naruto’s ear. “Do you know what I want for Christmas, Naruto?”

“What?” the blond asked absently as he underlined something in his book.

Sasuke leaned closer so his lips brushed against the shell of Naruto’s ear as he spoke. “I want to fuck you in every room in your house.” Naruto’s pencil dropped as his eyes widened. He blushed scarlet and Sasuke had to admit, he rather enjoyed seeing the back of Naruto’s neck turn that particular shade of embarrassed red.

“E-everyone i-is going to b-be there!” Naruto stuttered embarrassed, hastily picking his pencil back up and trying to focus on his book.

“It’s a pretty big house.” Sasuke insisted, rolling his hips suggestively against Naruto’s backside.

The pencil dropped again as Naruto flew from the seat.

“No!” He rounded on his boyfriend. “You’ve been spending too much time with Genma!” He accused, pointing his finger at Sasuke. “Or you are Genma, disguised as Sasuke!”

The raven sighed. “All right, I’ll admit I’ve been a little... corrupted, but—”

“A little?!” the blond interrupted. “What do you mean a little?!”

“However!” the raven exclaimed to be heard over the blond’s panicked rants. “You have to know that I do plan on having my way with you before the New Year. After all, people are only staying until the twenty-fourth.” A glint entered Sasuke’s eyes and the blond paled.

“C-can’t we wait a bit?” the blond squeaked. He’d found out only about a week ago that he was gay. He’d started dating Sasuke that same day, and he didn’t exactly feel comfortable with the idea of having sex right now.

The raven sighed, shaking his head. “I was just teasing, Naruto. Although, it is what I want for Christmas. I guess it’s up to you when you give me my present.” He smirked.

Naruto shook his head with a sigh. Sasuke was still sitting in his chair. The raven seemed determined to have his way today.

“Should I even bother trying to get back to work?”

“We both know you’ll never get around to it.” Sasuke smirked as he stood. “Might as well get back in bed.”

“Fine, you win this time. But next time, I’ll win, even if I have to tie you down.” The blond poked Sasuke in the chest before heading for the door and locking it.

“Tie me down, huh?” the raven inquired as he climbed up into bed. “That sounds kind of kinky, Naruto. You’re welcome to do so now. Although, I guarantee that with me tied down, you’ll be even less inclined to work.”

The blond blushed as he realized Sasuke was right.

Neji, Tenten, Hinata and Lee stood at the village at five-forty on the eighteenth. Lee had borrowed Gai Maito’s car for the trip, and Neji was glad his flat-mate and the professor had such a good relationship. Neji had also brought out his own car, he and his cousin going to Naruto’s in it. He wouldn’t trust anyone else with his baby cousin.

The four of them waited, no one talking to one another. Neji was leaning back against his car with Tenten leaning against him, his arms around her waist. Hinata was reading, and Lee was busy examining all the rocks in the parking lot and shouting out excitedly when he recognized one as being this or that.

A few minutes later, a silver Honda Prelude turned smoothly into the parking lot and stopped beside Neji’s car. The longhaired boy winced as he noticed Gaara behind the wheel, Kankurou sitting beside him and Temari glaring at him from the back seat. This was going to be an interesting week.

The redhead exited his sister’s car, his siblings following. They walked towards Neji and Gaara nodded to him. The other boy nodded back.

“Hello, Kankurou. Temari. It’s been a while.” he said politely.

“Hi.” Temari replied dryly, turning away from him and crossing her arms. Kankurou just smirked. He was enjoying the tension.

“Hey Gaara.” They all turned their heads as they saw a group of four boys heading towards them all, the one who’d called out with his hands in his pockets. “Didn’t think you’d be coming.”

“Why not?” Gaara questioned Kiba. The brunette shrugged, the four of them reaching the others.

“Hi, Kiba.” Hinata said in a small voice, blushing slightly.

“Hey, Hinata. I’m glad you could come.” He smiled at her.

“Yes. Neji convinced my father it would be all right. He let me go especially because Neji was going.”

Kiba had met Neji once before, when they’d slept over at Hinata’s after a house party on Eighteenth and Vine. Neji reminded him of a lollipop—namely, that he had a huge stick shoved up his ass. Then again, Kiba believed it might just have been because he was protective of his cousin.

“Looks like a lot of people are coming.” They all turned as Ino and Sakura walked towards them. “This is going to be some huge party.” the pink-haired girl commented.

“That it is.” Kiba grinned.

“Ms. Sakura!”

“Oh God, please no!” the pink-haired girl exclaimed in horror. Her wish wasn’t granted as Lee appeared before her, bowing as he took her hand and kissed it.

“I am so pleased you are able to come to Naruto’s house for this festive occasion.”

“Lee, dammit, I told you to leave her alone!” Ino exclaimed, pulling her friend away from the green-clad boy and standing between them. “She’s not interested, okay!”

They were all distracted by a loud engine and even louder music as a black car screeched into the parking lot, slamming to a halt near the group of people. The driver’s door opened and Naruto jumped out, turning around to face the group, his hands raised in the air.

“Party time!” he hollered over his music.

“Naruto!” Ino and Sakura exclaimed happily.

The music cut off abruptly and Naruto frowned. “Hey, I was listening to that!”

“Moron.” The passenger side door opened and Sasuke emerged.

“Sasuke!” Ino and Sakura screeched as they ran to him. They’d almost reached him, but he’d re-entered the car and slammed the door before they had a chance to try and attach themselves to him. Naruto held some of their interest now, but they would always have Sasuke as their number one priority.

The blond cleared his throat, trying to hide a smile. He then surveyed the group, counting them, and nodded.

“Excellent. I heard that three of you brought cars. Mine’s a two-seater so unfortunately, this is as many people as my car’s going to get.”

“Can’t Sasuke switch with one of us?” Ino motioned herself and Sakura. “We wouldn’t want you stuck alone with broody Sasuke.” She batted her eyelashes at him.

If one of them ended up with Sasuke in another car, the other would be with Naruto. Even though the blond wasn’t the best prize, he sure was a hell of a good second place prize.

Kiba snorted at Ino’s comment, a jab in the ribs from Shino the only thing stopping him from outright laughing. It seemed not everyone knew about Sasuke and Naruto.

“No, uh, it’s fine. I’m sure I can take him.” Naruto struggled to keep his face impassive as Sasuke leaned over and began kissing his stomach, lifting his shirt to run his tongue across the blond’s skin. Naruto was going to kill him for taking advantage of the one-way windows!

“Oh, all right, then.” Sakura said with a sigh. It looked like neither girl was going to get her way.

“R-right.” Naruto dropped one of his arms to push against Sasuke’s head, forcing him to back off. The raven wouldn’t have it, wrapping his arms around the blond’s waist and continuing his ministrations. Naruto was just thankful Genma hadn’t corrupted him to the point where Sasuke would pull off the blond’s pants then and there.

“So, car arrangements.” He closed his eyes, rubbing them furiously to distract himself from Sasuke’s tongue on his stomach.

“You okay, Naruto?” Shino asked, a smile tugging at his lips.

“I’m fine.” he snapped, glaring at the other boy. His four friends looked like they were having a hell of a time watching Naruto struggle not to moan. “Car arrangements—you sort them out yourselves! Just honk when you’re all ready to go and we can leave.” The blond hastily got back in the car, shoving Sasuke away and slamming his door. “Asshole! What the fuck!” He shoved Sasuke again, the raven just smirking.

“You loved it.”

“Dammit, not in public!” Naruto exclaimed. Sasuke shut him up by planting his lips on the blond’s.

Outside the car, everyone glanced at one another. It was up to them, but not all of them knew one another.

Gaara turned his back on the group, heading back for his sister’s car. “We’ll take one, but only one.”

“I’m in.” Shikamaru said lazily, flinging his bag over his shoulder and walking after Gaara. He and Gaara knew each other vaguely from Biology, and he didn’t want to be crushed, so he figured, why the hell not?

Gaara got behind the wheel as Shikamaru threw his bag in the trunk, slamming it closed as Kankurou got in the front seat. Temari got in the back and Shikamaru followed her in, all of them buckling up. Gaara honked his horn, to inform one car was ready.

Neji motioned his car next. “Tenten, Hinata and I will be in this car. We’ll offer the two seats left to anyone who wants to join us in this car.”

“I will.” Kiba blurted out hastily.

“As will I.” Shino said before Sakura could open her mouth. The girl’s jaw dropped. That meant she was stuck with—

“Ms. Sakura! Over here!” Lee waved enthusiastically from his car. She groaned.

Neji and Tenten got in the two front seats, Shino and Kiba getting in on either side of Hinata in the back. Once all of them were buckled in, Neji honked his horn. Two cars down, one to go.

Chouji and Ino took the back and, despite Sakura’s struggles, she didn’t get to follow. She sat down sighing in the passenger seat, Lee slamming her door and running gleefully around the car. Sakura wouldn’t bet on it, but she could’ve sworn tears of joy were cascading down the boy’s cheeks as he ran around the car to get in on the other side. Once they were all ready, Lee also honked his horn.

Sasuke pulled barely an inch away from Naruto, the two of them having been making out while waiting.

“That’s three.”

“It sure is.” Naruto panted, pulling away more and opening his window. They’d fogged up the windows in the car with their heavy breathing. Shit, were we breathing that hard?! the blond thought, amazed.

He then honked his horn twice, his fist raised in the air outside the window so the others could see, and he turned onto the road to leave, the other three cars following.

The drive there had been enjoyable, everyone in each car making small talk with one another. Temari kept casting glances at Shikamaru as he spoke to Gaara in his bored tone. Kiba and Hinata discreetly held hands behind Neji’s back, the older boy pretending not to notice. Lee surprised everyone with acting like a normal human being, talking enthusiastically about all the places he’d visited with Gai on Geological trips.

Sasuke and Naruto were just Sasuke and Naruto—or rather, a Genma clone and Naruto. Most of the trip had been spent with Naruto saying things like, “Sasuke, stop it!” “Christ, not when I’m driving!” “Holy shit, you’re going to make me kill us both!”

The raven just couldn’t keep his hands to himself. It got to the point where Naruto had threatened to leave Sasuke on the side of the highway. Sasuke hadn’t believed he would until Naruto had begun to pull over. Promising to wait until they were out of the car, the trip continued more calmly—even though Sasuke was grumbling under his breath.

It wasn’t until they neared Naruto’s house that he suddenly became aware of a particular feeling in the car. It was so strong it was practically suffocating him. He turned to look at the blond and noticed his hands clenched on the steering wheel, his knuckles practically white.

“Are you okay?” Sasuke asked, concerned. Naruto’s jaw was clenched, too. What was wrong?

“I’m fine.”

“Liar.” Sasuke narrowed his eyes.

“I’m just—a little nervous, is all.” the blond muttered, loosening his grip slightly only to tighten it again.

“What are you nervous about?” Sasuke inquired, confused.

“I’m just—I’m scared they’ll only be my friends for my money.” he blurted out. Sasuke cocked an eyebrow.

“Naruto, they’re already your friends. You being rich won’t sway them.” Sasuke insisted, smiling at his boyfriend. He leaned over and gently placed a kiss on Naruto’s cheek. “Everything will be fine, I promise.”

“Holy shit!” Kiba hollered as he exited Neji’s car, staring up at the house in awe. “This is your house?!”

“It’s beautiful.” Hinata said in her small voice.

“It’s huge!” Kiba exclaimed, both hands on his head. “I don’t believe it!”

Naruto had ignored everyone as they surveyed his house, commenting on its grandeur and beauty. He didn’t want to hear such things. He just walked to the door, unlocked it, and walked inside, leaving it open for everyone else to follow. Sasuke went to the door and closed it before rounding on the group as they all got their bags. Naruto had walked in with Sasuke’s.

“Guys, I have to tell you all something.” he said, a seriousness in his voice none of the others had ever heard before. Everyone froze, turning to look at him. “I don’t know why—and even if I did, I wouldn’t tell you—but Naruto hates being praised for being rich. He hates comments about it, he hates people bringing it up, and he hates what all of you just did upon seeing his house. While you’re here, no matter how amazed you are with what you see, keep it to yourself. You can be excited, but don’t freak out.” He narrowed his eyes to get his point across. Everyone nodded before returning to their initial tasks.

Satisfied that everyone was aware of what they could and could not talk about, Sasuke turned and entered the house, following his blond boyfriend into the large entrance. He almost walked into said boyfriend when he opened the door, only to find Naruto standing in the middle of the entrance, his back to the door.

“You okay?” Sasuke asked, walking beside the blond. Naruto turned to him, startled, then grinned.

“Yeah, I’m fine. I just realized I didn’t think about the sleeping arrangements.”

“Uh, don’t you have eighteen spare rooms or something?” Sasuke teased.

“Only ten!” The blond pretended to glare. “I only have thirty rooms in this entire house.”

“Including the bathrooms, the dining room, the two dens, the two living rooms, the—”

“Shut up!” Naruto shoved him playfully. “I guess we’ll just have to talk to everyone about the rooms and see who wants to bunk with who.”

“Sure thing.” Sasuke rubbed his arm where Naruto had hit him particularly hard while shoving him. “You have to mention the entertainment room, the game room and the arcade, though. If we ever want to get rid of Kiba, I guarantee that’s where he’ll be.”

“Sasuke, I already told you, we’re not doing anything with them in the house.” the blond hissed, moving further into the living room.

“Why not?” the raven asked, smirking evilly as he wrapped his arms around the blond’s waist.

“Sasuke!” Naruto pulled out of his grasp. “I’m serious. Ino and Sakura will kill me if they ever find out.”

“Sasuke!” The Uchiha shuddered as Sakura flew at him from behind, attaching herself to his right arm. “How have you been? It feels like I haven’t seen you in ages!”

“He was probably happy, large-forehead.”

“Shove it, Ino-pig!”

“Women.” Shikamaru sighed, walking into the living room and shaking his head. “So troublesome.”

“So, Naruto, how’s this going to work? Mass sleepover in the living room? Not much privacy.” Temari winked at the blond, grinning evilly. Naruto blushed, clearing his throat and looking away.

“I have ten spare rooms—”

“Ten?!” Kiba hollered amazed. An angry glare from Sasuke made him snap his mouth shut. “That’s—not that many.”

“What I figured is everyone can share a room. Six of the spares have two single beds, and the other four have a double bed. One of you will get to sleep alone.”

“That should be Gaara.” Kankurou motioned his brother. “He doesn’t sleep much, so if he’s going to be up all night, he should have his own room so as not to disturb others.” The blond nodded.

“All right, Gaara will have his own room. Everyone else can share. I guess the girls can have a shared room, but there’s five girls, so...” Naruto trailed off, unsure of what to do. He didn’t want to put anyone else alone in a room, because he was scared of showing favouritism.

“I can sleep in the same room as Kankurou.” Temari insisted, motioning her brother. “We’ve shared a room tons of times.”

“Okay, so that leaves Ino and Sakura in one room, and Hinata and Tenten in another.”

“Sounds good.” Tenten wrapped an arm around Hinata. “You can tell me all of Neji’s dirty little secrets.” She grinned at the pale Hyuuga girl, who blushed furiously.

“Chouji and I can share.” Shikamaru motioned himself and Chouji. “Chances are Kiba and Shino will share, too.”

“Damn straight.” Kiba exclaimed with a grin. “I can piss the hell out of good old Aburame here.” Kiba slugged Shino in the arm, and the other boy glared at him.

“That leaves...” Naruto trailed off as he regarded Neji and Lee. Could he really be cruel enough to force Neji to spend six days in the same room as Lee?

“It’s fine.” Neji insisted, as if he could read Naruto’s mind. “I can share with Lee. I’ve been doing it for a while now.”

“Awesome.” Naruto grinned. “So we’re all set.”

“Where’s Sasuke staying?” Naruto turned to Sakura as she asked the question, and paled.

“With Naruto.” Sasuke placed his hand on Naruto’s shoulder. “We’re roommates. It would be weird if I stayed anywhere but with him.” He leaned heavily against Naruto and the blond felt sweat trickle down his spine. “Right, Naruto?”

“R-right.”

Naruto hastily moved away from Sasuke. He didn’t want the girls to murder him. Without a word, he climbed the stairs, motioning for the others to follow him. They did so and he showed all of them to their rooms before giving them a tour of the house.

It had taken a while, especially with a group as large as theirs, to manoeuvre throughout the large domain. Naruto showed them all the rooms that wouldn’t hold their attention for long, first. This included the ten spares, the seven bathrooms, Naruto’s room, the kitchen, the two living rooms, the two dens, and the dining room.

“What about this room?” Sakura reached for the handle and had the door open only about an inch before Naruto put his hand over hers and closed the door again, a blank look on his face.

“We don’t go in this room.” he whispered before pulling his hand away. “This was my parents’ room.”

Sakura’s eyes widened in horror. “Oh, Naruto! I’m sorry, I didn’t—”

“It’s okay.” He gave her a huge grin, one that didn’t quite reach his eyes, but no one commented any further. “The room over there is off-limits, too. It was my grandmother’s room.” He motioned the door right beside his own room down the hall.

“Can we get rid of them all, now?” Sasuke sighed impatiently, wanting Naruto to himself for a while, despite the fact that he’d had Naruto all to himself during the car ride.

“Get rid of us? No way, Sasuke-bastard.” Kiba grinned, wrapping an arm around Naruto’s shoulders. “I’m sticking to this one like glue to ensure you don’t do anything...” He trailed off, grinning mischievously. “Naughty.”

“Eh?” Ino looked back and forth between a fuming Sasuke and a blushing Naruto. “Naughty?”

“He means fighting.” Shikamaru said with a sigh, both hands in his pockets. How troublesome, the pony-tailed boy thought, annoyed.

“So, what exactly were you planning on using to get rid of us?” Kiba asked, Naruto still blushing furiously beside him.

“T-this way.” Naruto turned quickly and descended the stairs. Sasuke shouldered past Kiba, annoyed, to follow him.

“I say we go to the game room first.” Sasuke told the blond. “It’ll get rid of the more annoying ones.”

Naruto said nothing, merely turning down a corridor to comply with Sasuke’s request. He opened the door and stepped inside. “This is the game room.”

Just as Sasuke had expected, all of the guy’s eyes lit up—except Neji and Gaara, who didn’t seem to have any emotions in the first place. He’d been just as surprised when he’d first seen the so-called ‘game room’. It had a pool table, a ping-pong table, a Foosball table, and some darts. Why go to bars when you can have it all in the comfort of your own home?

“Sweet!” Kiba hollered, pumping his fists in the air. “Who wants to play pool?” He started running for the pool table when Shino caught him by the back of the shirt.

“Wait until we’ve seen the whole house.” he replied calmly, dragging the other boy out of the room.

“No, wait! You can’t! Shino, let go!”

Everyone followed them out, Naruto closing the door behind himself. They continued on to another room called the ‘entertainment room’. This room included a huge plasma screen television, complete with cable, VHS, DVD and thousands of movies. They almost lost Kiba in that room, too.

Next, they moved on to the ‘arcade’, thus called because of all the games. Not only were there normal game consoles like Game Cube, Playstation one and two, N64, and such, there were also arcade games. These included Night of the Living Dead, Dance Dance Revolution, racing games, Gundam games, and various other arcade games. This time, they almost lost more than just Kiba. Even Gaara had let loose to approach one of the shooting games, as if eager to get a gun in his hand and start killing things. Naruto had to admit, he’d been a little scared.

Their final stop—and the last room—wasn’t so much a room as a large, open area. It had a large indoor pool, complete with slide, a hot tub, and a sauna. Sasuke predicted this would be the girl’s place to adore, and he was right. All five of them began talking quickly about going to change.

Naruto told them to go ahead and do what they wanted. He’d never seen people disappear so fast. Turning to Sasuke, he let out a small laugh as he scratched the back of his head.

“Guess they’re more excited than you were.” Naruto commented.

“I was excited when I saw all this stuff.” the raven insisted, his hands in his pockets. “But when we came here, it was for a pretty dreary event. I wasn’t going to go crazy and run around like a maniac when I’d come for moral support.”

Naruto smiled genuinely before hugging Sasuke. “Thanks, Sasuke.”

“No problem. Come on, let’s head up to your room.” He grabbed the blond’s hand and began dragging him towards the stairs.

“Eh? Why?” Naruto asked, confused. Sasuke didn’t answer because Kiba ran by.

“Yo, Naruto, where’s the game room again?”

“Huh? Oh, that way.”

“Thanks.” He disappeared, only to be replaced by the five girls.

“The pool is this way, right?” Tenten asked as they rushed past him.

“Uh, yeah.” Naruto replied, his head beginning to spin from everyone rushing by him.

“Naruto, kitchen is this way, right?” Chouji rushed past him with food in his arms. Naruto realized he’d brought some of his own stuff and was going to store it in the fridge.

“No, it’s that way.”

“Thanks.”

Naruto shook his head, clutching it with his free hand and moaning. “Man, I never knew the house could be so chaotic.” Sasuke just chuckled.

“Never had a huge group of people here before?” he asked as they reached the top of the stairs and he finally released the blond’s hand.

“Never had anyone to invite before.” Naruto admitted, shoving his hands in his pockets and walking towards his room. He opened his door to head inside, turning to ask Sasuke something, when he found himself unable to speak.

Sasuke kissed Naruto softly, turning him around and wrapping his arms around the blond’s waist. He walked forward, forcing the blond backwards until they’d entered his room, Sasuke kicking the door shut behind them. He manoeuvred the blond towards the bed, breaking away from the kiss to suck at Naruto’s pulse, the blond panting, his hands tangled in raven locks.

“S-Sasuke. We can’t.” he panted, despite tilting his head back to expose more of his neck to Sasuke’s torturous tongue.

“We can.” Sasuke insisted as he kissed his way along Naruto’s jaw. “They’re all busy doing something or another. They won’t even notice we’re gone.”

He pushed the blond backwards, and Naruto let out a yelp as he fell onto his bed, Sasuke falling on top of him. Sasuke didn’t give Naruto time to protest, locking his lips hungrily with the blond’s. Naruto moaned into the kiss. Or maybe it was Sasuke. Might have even been both of them.

Sasuke wanted to feel skin. He wanted to take Naruto right then and there, but he knew the blond wasn’t comfortable enough yet. For now, he would go as far as he was allowed to go. If he didn’t, he was going to go insane.

Slowly, Sasuke ran his hands down the blond’s sides, bringing them back up with his thumbs looped under the orange shirt so it slid up. Sasuke broke the kiss to pull the shirt off, the blond not protesting the action at all. Sasuke reattached himself to Naruto’s neck, sucking hard enough to leave marks. He wasn’t going to let Naruto out of this room without staking his claim on him.

“Sa-Sasuke...” Naruto panted, tugging Sasuke’s shirt up and then pulling it off, forcing the raven to let go of Naruto’s neck. He returned seconds later, darkening the bruise that had already begun to form there.

Slowly, Sasuke began to grind his pelvis into Naruto’s, the blond letting out breathy pants each time their clothed erections came into contact.

“Fuck, Sasuke...” the blond panted, burying his hands in Sasuke’s hair, his head tilted back. Slowly, Sasuke ran his hands down Naruto’s exposed chest, shifting his lips to another spot on the blond’s neck. His hands reached Naruto’s pants, and he slowly unbuttoned them before slipping the zipper down.

“Sasuke, wait.” Naruto insisted, panting slightly as he tried to push the other boy off.

Sasuke pulled away from Naruto’s neck to reposition his lips beside the blond’s ear. “Sh. I know your boundaries, and I won’t cross them. Just let it happen.” He licked the shell of Naruto’s ear as his hand reached into the blond’s pants.

“This place is huge, fuck.” Kiba grumbled as he opened a door and looked inside. “How the heck are we supposed to find him when we need him? We need a leash for him, or something.”

“You’re the guard dog, aren’t you? Why would he need the leash?”

Sometimes, Kiba really hated Shikamaru.

Sighing, the brunette shook his head as he and the lazy boy trudged down the corridor to the next room. They stopped outside the door and heard Naruto moaning inside. Kiba being Kiba, he didn’t stop to think about what this could mean. Grabbing the doorknob, the brunette opened the door and entered the room.

“Hey Naruto, where—” He didn’t even wait for them to holler at him. He let out an inhuman shriek as he bolted from the room.

Shikamaru calmly took his hand out of his pocket and closed the door, calling a “we’ll come back later” to the two boys inside the room.

“Why do I always show up at the worst times?!” Kiba hollered down the corridor, practically ripping his hair out. Shikamaru just sighed, shaking his head as he walked back towards the brunette. (2)

“So troublesome.”

“Troublesome?!” Kiba hollered. “I should write a damn book or something! Pranks happen, and I show up! They’re beating the shit out of each other, and I show up! They’re making out, and I show up! They’re doing—that, and I fucking show up!” The brunette threw his hands in the air in defeat. “I give up! I may as well take up residence in their room and glue my eyes open!”

“Uh, Kiba?” The brunette spun around startled, faced with Hinata in a towel. She was slightly wet, as if she’d just emerged from the pool and come into the house to get something.

“Hinata. Hey.” Kiba laughed slightly, scratching the back of his head, embarrassed.

“Um, Sakura and Ino don’t know.” Kiba and Shikamaru stared at her, confused. “E-everyone knows about-about Naruto and S-Sasuke.” she stuttered, her cheeks turning pink. “The only people who d-don’t know are Ino and S-Sakura. Th-they keep talking about who will get Naruto, and who will get Sasuke.”

“Oh.” was Kiba’s intelligent reply. Shikamaru hit him across the back of the head.

“She means that you should shut your yapper and let them inform the two girls that they’re dating. You hollering it around the house isn’t keeping it much of a secret.”

“I know what she meant!” Kiba insisted, blushing slightly at not having understood the shy girl’s comment. “I’ll calm down. But I swear, I walk in on them one more ti—”

“Sasuke!”

“That’s it!” Kiba hollered, throwing his hands in the air. “I’m going out to buy earplugs! Someone tell Naruto I’m taking his car!”

(2)Heh, I wrote another one-shot entitled "Worst Timing" because I realized Kiba always shows up at the worst time. Check it out, if you want.

A/N: I have to say it... I have Naruto wanting to study for his exams, yet here I sit... still not having studied much for my exams... Instead, I am typing this fanfic... WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?! T.T
