It is only the first day of his Junior year of college and already Naruto is having issues with his chemistry partner. Undaunted, Naruto decides to forge ahead and attempt to befriend the raven-haired boy. Will he succeed or will he get more than he bargained for?

A/N: I am back with my second story and first college fic. I still have no beta, but rest assured I have re-read this story approximately one hojillion times, so there should be few errors. This is another NaruSasu but there are mentions of a few other pairings. Reviews are appreciated and constructive criticism helps me to become a better writer. The story is more or less complete and I will be posting new chapters every few days but I will be happy to do some last minute editing if I am given some good suggestions.

Warning: This story contains lemons, limes and other citrusy goodness. If you do not want to read about super steamy boyxboy love than please turn away now.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto and Sasuke does not own Ludo's "The Horror of Our Love".


Naruto lightly bobbed his head to the beat of the music as he gazed out to the dance floor. He sat on a stool, leaning back on the bar, cobalt blue eyes roaming across the room. There was a nice assortment of people out tonight, though there usually was at this particular establishment.

There was a group of girls, dancing in a tight little circle – protecting each other from any unwelcome suitors. A good number of guys that just stood, swaying slightly while oversexed coeds ground their asses into them. A few girls danced sensually with each other, whether it was a ploy to get attention or a sincere display of their sexuality was impossible to determine. Finally there were a few male couples sprinkled into the heated mix. Despite the varied coupling, the mass of people moved in harmony – nobody really seemed to mind.

That was what Naruto really liked about this club; it was laid back, entertaining and it wasn't afraid of a little guy-on-guy action. The blond smiled inwardly; if he didn't know better, he would've thought he was describing himself. He turned around on the stool and motioned for another beer.

An obnoxious giggle caused the blond to grimace, closing one eye. He looked down the bar at the girl that was threatening to ruin his buzz. The little blonde and her entourage of clones were demanding another shot from the bartender. Naruto rolled his eyes, those girls were about 2 shots from being dared to make out and about 4 shots from train puking in the bathroom.

His gaze traveled further down the bar and settled on the frat boy on the opposite end. Hey there Mr. Sigma Chi, Naruto thought as he eyed the brunet. Mr. Sigma Chi must have felt the stare and turned to look at the blond. Naruto raised his eyebrows suggestively and offered a nod and a smile. The brunet scrunched his nose in disgust and quickly turned away. Naruto chuckled to himself. He loved to fuck with frat boys, something about their latent homoerotic behavior juxtaposed with their overt homophobia amused him greatly. The blond had crashed many a frat party only to end up getting punched in the face, but he always bounced right back. It was like a sport – a perverted and masochistic sport.

Naruto decided to let this one go, he didn't feel like showing up to the first day of class with a shiner. He sighed, the first day of his junior year was about 36 hours away. Luckily he had given himself a lighter class load then the last few semesters, but his worst day was Monday – he had 2 classes and a lab – why had he made Monday his busiest day?

He paused his ruminations when the music stopped. The generic club beat was about to be replaced by a band. Naruto took another swig of his beer when a voice came over the speakers.

"I'm a killer, cold and wrathful. Silent sleeper.
I've been inside your bedroom, I've murdered half the town, left you love notes on their headstones.
I'll fill the graveyards until I have you."

The dark voice was velvet smooth as it penetrated Naruto's ears. It sent a shiver down his spine and goosebumps erupted on his forearms.

"Moonlight walking, I smell your softness.
Carnivorous and lusting, to track you down among the pines.

I want you stuffed into my mouth, hold you down and tear you open, live inside you, oh, love I'd never hurt you. But I'll grind against your bones until our marrows mix, I will eat you slowly."

Naruto swiveled on his seat, his breath caught in his throat at the sight before him, it was a strange beauty that complimented the haunting melody. Standing on the stage, clutching the microphone, was what could only be described as an emo god. A pale frame, clad in black leather pants, a sleeveless black fishnet shirt and black and gray striped arm bands. The boy's raven black bangs framed his face in the front, while the shorter back stuck out in random spikes. As if these features were not enough, his eyes blazed a deep scarlet red.

"Ohhhhh, the horror of our love, never so much blood pulled through my veins.
Ohhhhh, the horror of our love, never so much blood."

"Oi, Ben!" the bartender turned to the blond, "who is that?"

"Band's name is Taka," Ben the Bartender replied.

"Okay, but who is the guy?" Naruto asked excitedly.

"Sorry kid, I don't give out names to fangirls or fanboys."

Naruto scoffed, unsure what offended him more, being called a "kid" or a "fanboy". Ben the Bartender chuckled at the look the blond was giving him. Naruto turned back around and watched as the lithe emo god moved across the stage. The man was lean but not scrawny like so many of the emo kids on campus, his defined ab muscles flexed as he belted into the mic. While his body was enticing, it was those red eyes that Naruto found intoxicating, it was hard to look away.

Finally he let his gaze leave the singer to examine the other members of the band. It was a four member ensemble including the stunning vocalist, a guitarist, bassist and drummer. The bassist was a big guy, tall and well built with spiky orange hair. On guitar was a lean man, shorter the other two, with chin length platinum colored hair. The drummer was the only girl in the group, she sported dark rimmed glasses and an asymmetric red hair style. All together it was a very attractive group, but Naruto could not help it when his eyes moved back to the singer – there was something about the man he could not resist.

A few beers later and the band had finished their set. Naruto scarcely moved his attention from the singer, staring and biting his lip lecherously. As the members began to leave the stage Naruto found himself getting off his stool. He had intended to saunter over to the group and offer his compliments, but upon standing he realized his urgent need to take a piss.

Fucking beer. Naruto ran his hands quickly under the water and brought them to his face, patting his cheeks in an attempt to freshen up a bit. He wiped the remaining dampness off on his jeans and straightened his snug T-shirt, nodding to himself in the mirror as he exited the bathroom.

Naruto's mood came crashing down when he saw the band had vanished. He wondered around the club, peering around corners and behind doors but found no trace that the group had ever been there. Grumbling to himself, Naruto shoved his hands in his pockets and made his way out of the bar. It was only a few blocks to his house and the fresh air helped him to clear his head.


A/N: Ben the Bartender is the only named character that is not actually from the manga, but I love alliteration and this name made me smile. This was a shorter chapter and there will be significantly more development in the next so stay tuned!
