Disclaimer: Are you serious? Okay. I don't own Naruto. If I did...Gaara would have kissed Lee by now. The SasuNaru is so evident there would be no point in tweaking it, but the GaaraLee evidence could be more. Besides, Gaara needs some serious hugs.

Summary: Naruto went to college to get away from the pricks. Unfortunately, he now has to face a bigger prick than ever before...his roommate Uchiha Sasuke. Naruto can only hope he can make it through his sophomore year without killing the stuck up bastard.


Naruto should have never left his dorm.

On days like this it should have been obvious to him. The blonde was not the brightest of the bright but he did have enough common sense to keep himself alive. He usually knew better than test fate but today he had been feeling particularly rebellious . It was Friday the 13th, which should have been enough to tip him off. Everyone and their mother knew that Friday the 13th was not a day to trifle with.

When Naruto Uzumaki woke up that morning, for a small moment, he was completely free from the dangerous implications that it being this date would bring. He was completely ignorant of the oncoming onslaught of pain that would be brought mercilessly upon him until his bright turquoise eyes met with the glaring numbers, circled and crossed out with red, on his Northern Kentucky University calendar. A moment of glee brought on by the thoughts of two days of without boring lectures and long essays was struck down by the strong meaning of this particular Friday.

Before Naruto could begin a very unmanly weep he was brought to reality by the grunting of his roommate. His eyes jumped over to the twin of his own very uncomfortable bed shoved into the corner on the other side of the cramped room. The black haired boy was perfectly still making Naruto doubt the accuracy of his hearing until he heard the grunting once again.

Upon closer inspection he noticed the boy's eyes were shut tightly in pain and his body was drenched in sweat. He was obviously having another of his nightmares. These night terrors seemed to frequent his stoic roommate but the blonde had never found the need to inquire into the boy's life enough to ask about them.

Briefly tossing around the idea of waking the other boy, he was saved from the pain of decision making by the clanging of his own alarm clock. He jumped into the air and barely registered his feet touching the ground as he hit the large Snooze button on the top of the frogs head. After the painful ringing ceased Naruto let out a relieved sigh.

"It's not normal for an adult to have a frog alarm clock. I mean, it's no wonder your still a virgin." Why in the world did Naruto ever consider waking that prick up? He should have left him in that nightmares world for all eternity. The blonde made a show of jumping out of his bed and marching over to his closet to grab a clean pair of pants and shirt.

"Go back to sleep asshole. I can't take your shit this early in the morning. " To Naruto's dismay he was only able to find a pair of plain jeans and a blue shirt. None of the neon orange articles of clothing that usually dominated his wardrobe seemed to be in any shape to be worn. He really should have done his laundry last night instead of playing Guitar Hero 2.

"I think I will, dumbass, considering all my classes for today were cancelled." Naruto growled as he jerked his around to see the other boy snuggle into his covers and sigh happily. In retrospect, Naruto knew he should have seen it coming. The one day of the year that usually brought heaps and heaps of bad luck onto normal human beings would of course bring nothing but truckloads onto Mr. Perfect.

The only indication to his rage was the ticking of his eyebrow as he pulled his clothes in a rushed manner. His classes were not so much of a priority to him as getting the hell away from his roommate was. As soon as he was fully clothed he began a mad scramble to find his English and History books just to throw them violently into his bag. He had the door open and was just stepping out when he realized that his feet were completely bare.

Growling, he stepped back inside and threw the book bag onto his bed. While digging through the huge pile of clean and dirty clothes that seem to pile at the end of his bed the blonde heard a snort from the other occupant of the room. Griping the sock fiercely in his hand he decided to ignore the other man, find the companion to this sock, and get as far away from the black haired boy as possible.

After finally covering his feet with his black and orange sneakers he ran out the door quickly and slammed it in his wake. He grumbled as he walked down the hallway of his dorm building, down the stairs and out the front door avoiding every person who called his name or even caught his eye. Outside was slightly colder than he thought it would be but nothing he couldn't handle. All he had heard the entire summer from his adoptive father reminding him how cold Cincinnati was, how windy, and how he would freeze his Southern Kentucky raised ass off. Still, here he was, in Northern Kentucky, just below the Ohio border with a tan that most of the girls would die for and an accent that made his voice stand out for miles.

His first stop for the day was his English class luckily not starting for another twenty minutes. He had just enough time to stop and get a pop before walking in leisurely to claim his seat in the main back of the room. Usually around this time he was making a mad dash for his class, holding on to his pants and backpack and ignoring his growling stomach. Maybe today wouldn't be so bad after all?


"You should have known better," said Naruto's not so compassionate friend Garra. Naruto growled at him but received only a blank state in return as the teacher walked in late for his History class. The short and skinny old man gave his warm smile to the class and lay his bag down on his podium before starting right up into the Peloponnesian wars.

Though the blonde would never admit this out loud, his friend definitely had a point. Why he even let himself think this day would not begin and end in complete turmoil was beyond him. On the way to his English class he had tripped over a discarded book and dived head first into the concrete sidewalk. Forgoing the idea of Pre-class Caffeine Pick-me-up he was forced to run to the nearest bathroom and wash the blood off his face.

After he showed up late for his English class, avoided a few questions and giggles at his face and torn jacket, and bombed a quiz he ran to his History class. While he was riding the elevator up to the fourth floor, the elevator got stuck in between the third and fourth floor. Naruto was trapped for almost 10 minutes by himself before it started to work again, letting him free on the fourth floor, where he met a concerned Gaara. After explaining what had happened and after Gaara congratulated him on not having one of his famous panic attacks they headed off to class.

"I hate my lifeā€¦." Gaara blinked over at the blonde before diverting his full attention to the teacher. Naruto slept with his eyes open. After class Naruto tried to talk Gaara into going and eating with him but the redhead turned him down. All the way back to the dorms the blonde whined and pleaded with the other before finally having to stop in front of Norse Commons, one of the campus's many cafeterias. Gaara was finally able to wave the blonde off before leaving in the direction of his dorm.

Naruto pouted the entire time he was eating. He hated eating alone. He felt like everyone in the room was watching him and judging him for being there by himself. He gorged his face as quickly as possible before grabbing his stuff and almost running out of the cafeteria.

He returned to room to take a shower and bandage up his face only to find out that their floor's bathroom was closed due to a busted pipe. He could only glare at his roommate's freshly washed hair before running off to see if he could use the shower in Gaara's apartment-like dorm.

When he left his dorm building he noticed someone standing outside, trapped without a key , obviously waiting for a kind soul to allow him entrance. After a second he recognized it as Neji, one of Sasuke's friends that lived off campus. Holding the door wide open he gave the glaring man a bright Naruto smile.

"Coming to see Uchiha?" Neji merely snorted at him and walked inside without even a thank you. 'Asshole.' In his mind still complaining about his roommate's rude friend he made his way down the hill to Gaara's dorm building. The Woodcrest Apartments were dorms ran by the University but were built just like apartments. The room Gaara resided in was usually made for two people, but within a week his roommate had ran like a bat out of hell to get as far away as possible from the red headed, eyeliner wearing, Satan worshiping, freak. Not that Gaara was complaing. They were beyond expensive but Gaara's rich businessman father would shell out any number of cash to get his frightening son away from his house.

The money issue was always on Naruto's mind when it came to college. He was here on a scholarship and one false move would get his hick ass sent back home in a flash, but Sasuke also came from a rich family. He never really said what his parents did and he had never heard the other boy call them, but he had enough money to buy the damn campus. Naruto had always wondered why Sasuke had decided to stay in the cheap Commonwealth dorms, or Comptonwealth as the students tended to call them, though he had never gained the courage to ask the other boy.

Naruto smiled as the view of Gaara's door came into view. He raped the door twice with his knuckles and he was no where near surprised when he received no answer. Naruto merely pulled out his extra key that he had made for him freshman year. Gaara's RA, Hinata Hyuuga, had quite a crush on the blonde and it wasn't hard to talk her into making him a spare. She was a sweet girl but Naruto still thought it was the right decision when he had to let her down easily. The Uchiha bastard had tormented him about it for weeks.

Naruto slid the key in, and jiggled it around for a few seconds, knowing full well the stubbornness of Woodcrest locks. The loud creek of the door opening was the first sound the blonde heard, as his eyes peered into the empty living room. He opened his mouth to call his best friends name when he heard a squeal that definitely did not belong to the red haired man. There was a moment of scuffle before Gaara finally grunted.

"Uzumaki. Tell Lee it's just you." Naruto's eyes glazed over as they were want to do when he was preparing to be a prankster. He turned his voice high-pitched to model after the black haired Hyuuga.

"Subaku! Is that Mr. Rock in there with you?? I am going to have to report you this time! You know you can't have people staying here besides yourself!" Naruto was positive he heard Lee begin to weep while Gaara merely grunted again.

"Lee. That is obviously Naruto." Knowing that he could never trick Gaara, and also knowing that Lee might actually begin his own ritual suicide he shut the door and walked into the closed bedroom door. As he guessed Gaara was sitting up his bare chest above the sheets, with Lee curled up under the sheets, still weeping.

"Lee. It was me, Naruto. You can stop crying now, man. You're not getting Gaara kicked out of his apartment. Lee sat up and glared at the blonde before covering himself completely under the covers. Gaara smiled warmly down at the black haired Chinese exchange student before letting his eyes trail back up to Naruto, his smiled fading back into his usual expressionless mask. It made Naruto's heart warm every time he saw his long time friends stoic expression melt for the bushy-eyebrow boy.

"What is it Uzumaki?" The blonde gave Naruto the sweetest smile he could muster. "No." His smile vanished quickly.

"WHAAT? You don't even know what you're saying no to!!" Gaara rolled his eyes as if to say 'and your point is?'. Naruto pouted, quickly letting himself fall back into his grade school days. "The shower on my floor is broken and I was wanting to know if I could borrow yours!" Gaara rolled his eyes and waved his hand toward the shower before wrapping his arms around Lee's waist and cuddling up to his back.

"Don't jack off in there." Naruto's face went red as he stomped into the tiny bathroom slamming the door shut. Even though Naruto seemed to be use to Gaara's habit of saying weird things at random times, even he was still able to be caught unawares. Lee said it was part of Gaara's charm. Naruto said it was proof that Gaara was the reincarnation of some kind of demon. Gaara thought they both correct.
