Notes: Hey! I'm Cacau, and this is my first upload here! Recently my boyfriend introduced me to Naruto, and I've been in love with it ever since. So, when I got stuck with this idea, I couldn't help but write it. Hope you guys like it!


"I can't believe we've been living here for three years now!" Sakura exclaimed, with a grin plastered on her lips as she entered the living room. She had just got out of the shower and was brushing her watery pink hair while walking barefoot in the living room. She had no plans of going out tonight, so she was wearing an old skinny jeans combined with a white tank top.

Her sight was the one of a regular sunday day: Hinata was sitting comfortably at their sofa, reading a romance novel and dressed in a blue summer dress. Ino was in her purple babydoll, leaning against their door, looking through the peephole.

"Well, you have been living here for three years…" Snapped Ino, still peeking through their door. "I've been here for at least five years! And Hinata is a little bit newer… Oh my God, he's back!" The blonde girl cried, jumping up and down but not moving a feet away from the door.

"Who's back?" Asked Sakura, curiously, as she tried to take Ino's place by the door.

"Just some guy Ino claims is 'the hottest neighbour we could ever have'..." Hinata sighed.

"I'm not claiming it, I'm stating a fact!" The blonde girl retorted, "Stop pushing me, Sakura! I want to see him!"

"Well, I'm curious, too! Could you let me have just a peek?" Asked Sakura, trying to push Ino away from the door with her body, but the blonde girl was strong enough to keep her place.

The girls were living alone at the fifth floor for almost a year, since their last neighbor, Mr. Agamichi, moved back to Tokyo. They weren't surprised the apartment in front of theirs was empty for so much time: it was a great building, located at Bedford Street in West Village, but it wasn't exactly the newest building in town, and the rent was surprisingly expensive. It wasn't what most people would call "a finding", unless you were planning on sharing it with roommates.

It wasn't like Ino couldn't pay for the apartment alone. She left New Jersey when she got her well-paying job as a writer for W Magazine, a fashion publication Ino read and wanted to work at since she was eight years old. So, when Sakura decided to leave New Jersey a couple of years after that, to pursuit her dream of becoming a baker, Ino knew living together would not only be a chance of saving some extra money, but also a lot of fun, considering the two of them were best friends since kindergarten. Hinata moved in almost a year after Sakura. Hiashi Hyuuga's first born was two years younger than her roommates, and she went to New York to study Urban Design and Architecture Studies at NYU. At first, Hinata was supposed to stay at the Upper East Side, rooming with her successful cousin: the lawyer, Neji Hyuuga. But when Neji decided to propose to his girlfriend, the beautiful Tenten, Hiashi had to find another place for his daughter to live. The man was almost paying for an expensive place at the Upper East Side when his old friend, Kizashi Haruno, mentioned his daughter was also living in New York and it would be pleasured to have Hinata as her roommate. Despite not being friends with the other girls before and her shy and introverted ways, the Hyuuga became fast friends with the Yamanaka and the Haruno, and the three of them couldn't even remember what was like not to live together.

"Ino… Let… Me… Look!" Sakura plead, pushing the Yamanaka with all the strength she could muster. But when she finally managed to place her eye at the peeping hole, a loud tumbling was heard at the hall, and the three girls rushed past the door to see what had just happened, only to find an unconscious blond boy lying at the floor with a big box of trunk covering his body.

"Oh my God! Is he hurt?" Ino started screaming, nervously. "Sakura, do something!"

"What can I do, Ino?" Sakura was screaming, too. Hinata let out a preoccupied gasp. "Okay, let's move this box away from him!" Sakura managed to say, looking at her friends for help. It took all three girls to pick up the box and put it on the floor. "At least his breathing is…"

"Humpf, I told this dumbass he wouldn't be able to carry this alone!" a calm voice stated at the other side of the corridor.

The girls looked up just to see a guy dressed in a green shirt and khaki shorts staring disapprovingly at the sight in front of him. He was carrying a box at least two sizes smaller than the one the blond boy had been knocked out with, and his hair was black and tied in a firm ponytail. When Sakura was just opening her mouth to ask what was going on, another person interrupted her, jogging up the flight of stairs carrying another box on his arms.

When the pink haired girl first got a glimpse of him, she could swear he was an Hugo Boss model, the kind of boy Ino couldn't stop rambling about every time she came home after the New York Fashion Week. Taking a second glance, Sakura could only think of one thing: Ino surely didn't do the boy any justice by saying he was "the hottest neighbor they could ever have", since he was probably "the hottest neighbor any person in New York could ever have". The boy had dark black hair, and brown eyes so deep they almost looked a shade of red. He was wearing a black t-shirt, and its sleeves covered his muscles just in the right measure: it didn't show too much, but it certainly made you want to see more. His extremely long legs were clothed with black trousers, and his feet flaunted a pair of Yeeezys.

"What the fuck, Naruto?" The boy grunted, gently putting the box he held at the ground and kneeling beside the unconscious blond. "Wake up, idiot!" He said, shaking the other boy and giving small slaps at his cheeks.

The boy who fainted slowly got his consciousness back, making uncomfortable noises as he supported his body weight with his elbows, trying to sit down. The raven-haired boy helped him sit, and the blond opened his eyes slowly. When he got sight of the three worried-looking girls sitting in front of him, he couldn't help but smile and ask, jokingly:

"Am I in heaven?"

The girls giggled, and the dark haired boy let out a grunt:

"I wish…"

"Oh, definitely not in heaven if you're here, Sasuke!" The blond boy sighed and reached out his hand to greet the girls "Hello there! I'm Naruto Uzumaki, and it's a pleasure to meet you."

Naruto was also a gorgeous guy: with spiky yellow hair and vivid blue eyes. He was wearing a white t-shirt and black shorts, and had line marks on his cheeks that made him look like a cat. His smile was big and bright, and he was as cute as an eleven years old boy.

"Hello, guys!" Ino chanted, charmingly. "I'm Ino Yamanaka, and I live next door!" She pointed to the door as she stood up, not even a little embarrassed by the fact she was wearing a tiny babydoll in front of three strange guys. That was Ino in a nutshell: confident and charming at all times.

"Uh, I'm Sakura Haruno, and we're roommates." The pink haired girl grinned, and couldn't stop blushing as the raven haired boy stared at her. She looked at Hinata, hoping her friend would introduce herself and drag all the attention to her, only to see the Hyuuga's face tinge an awkward shade of pink. "And this is Hinata, our third and final roommate!" Sakura added, sympathetically. She knew Hinata was not great with strangers, but she had never seen the girl as timid as right now.

Then the boy's eyes, Sasuke, as Naruto had called him, travelled to Hinata's face and a knowing look popped into his eyes.

"Wait, Hinata Hyuuga? Cousin to Neji Hyuuga?" Sasuke stood up, holding out his hand to the girl in front of him to help her stand. "I… Don't know if you will remember me, but I'm Sasuke Uchiha! We used to spend summer together at your dad's house in St. Barts…"

Sakura could swear Hinata's face would explode, because after Sasuke said that, everyone started observing them curiously. But then the Hyuuga managed to take the boy's hand, standing up with his help.

"Of-of course I… Um… Remember." Hinata muttered, looking at the boy in front of her with a shy smile. "So… What are you… Uh… Doing here?" She managed to ask in between her stutter.

"Well, I guess I'm your new neighbour..."

"Oh, isn't that great?!" The ponytail boy spoke, ironically. "Look, I don't want to be rude, but this box is heavy... So, can we take this conversation inside?" He questioned, mentioning their apartment with his head. "I'm Shikamaru Nara, by the way... And I live with this two stupid blokes."
