Summary: When a group of friends decide to take a personality quiz that doubles as a dating service, things get very interesting for the friends who are clearly NOT interested! SasuNaru; NejiGaara and others.
Beta'd by me, myself and I. So, sorry for the errors. I have a feeling that there will be tons of them.
Author's Note: So, it has been about four months since I last updated. I'm so sorry everyone. It's been a very busy last couple of months for me. I had to get a place to do my N.Y.S.C programme (for those interested, just Google it. You'll see all you need to know about the programme). I'm teaching high schoolers till February of next year, by which time, I hope to have gotten a job (keep your fingers crossed for me, you guys). I had to relocate to a new city, and it has been hell settling down. But, I've settled down a bit, so I'm happy about that.
I just had an original story I wrote (it's M/M of course) get accepted by a publishing outfit. I'm so excited. For those who would like to know how things are going with my writing and my life, follow me on twitter; username is chocowithcurves. Will follow you as well, so we can DM and chat. Anyway, hang around, especially on twitter, as I have a feeling that I will be doing a free giveaway of the novel as soon as it is released. So keep your fingers crossed, and come look for me on twitter.
Check out my LJ account as well. Username is Cassie821. I have a free read I wrote about Medusa's offspring who is cursed like his mother, and this affects his two lovers. It's fun and full of smex, that I know you all will enjoy. So, just click on the link to view the story. It will lead you to a group. When asked how you came to know of the group or who invited you, just tell them Alessandra Ebulu did.
Well, that's all for all the rambling. On to the story.

A gasp. The body beneath him shuddered, just the way he liked it. He felt his lips curve in a smirk and rubbed his jaw against the figure's collarbone. A flicker of his tongue resulted in another gasp, and Sasuke ran his tongue slowly downwards until he got to dusty pink nipples. He curved his tongue around the right nipple and gave it a hard tug; just the way he knew the person beneath him liked it. That earned him a groan, and a hard poke from a cock that clearly felt neglected and was hard and ready for his mouth. He didn't see why he had to hurry though. They had enough time.
Of course, it would have been better if he could see the face of the person he was about to fuck, but the room was dark, and the only senses he could use at the moment, to get his bearings were his sense of touch, he ran his fingers down the hard ridge of his lover's abdomen; his sense of smell, and he could definitely smell the muskiness of the man's sweat and precum; his sense of hearing, for he could hear the deep breath they both inhaled, and the moans and groans that punctuated the sex or rather the prelude to actual fucking, and finally his sense of taste. Sasuke felt his skin prickle in delight as he finally got to his lover's cock, and wrapped his tongue slowly over the head. The figure immediately raised his hip off the bed and released a howl. Sasuke though was not willing to let go of his treat and he was certain the man didn't want him to either.
He raised firm hands to hold on to the moving hips and swallowed the man's cock, taking his time to pause intermittently, until the head of the man's cock was lodged at the back of his throat. With that done, he paused and waited for a while.
As he had expected, the man mewled and wiggled. Sasuke smiled again, moved his hands to the open bottle of lube he had ensured was beside him on the bed, and dipped two fingers inside it, lifted the man's leg and slid his now slick fingers slowly, over the back of his thighs, enjoying the sounds his lover was making as his finger approached the hole his dick was aching to be buried deep inside. Damn! He was a good lover, if he could say so himself. Finally, his fingers reached the man's ass, and Sasuke slid two slick fingers into the hole that immediately gripped his fingers hard, and had his lover cry out, "Fuck me already, Sasuke".
Sasuke's head immediately snapped up. He recognised that voice. God, did he recognise the voice. Immediately, just as if it had all been planned, the lights came on, and he could see Uzumaki Naruto with his hands holding so tightly to the headboard, Sasuke was sure there would be scratches on the oak piece, and blue eyes staring intently at him. Swollen lips repeated the command, "Fuck me already, Sasuke", and Sasuke woke up, with his breath coming hard and fast and his hands clutching his duvet tightly.
Shit! That was the third night in a row that he had dreamt that same dream. Ever since the masquerade party, he had been dreaming of that idiotic blonde. What the hell was the matter with him? Fuck!
One would have thought that he had never kissed a man before. Why the hell couldn't he get the stupid blonde and his mouth, tanned skin, blue eyes, blonde hair and soft lips out of his head?
Just as the question crossed his mind, a voice in his head reminded him of the conversation he and Naruto had engaged in, at the party. Uzumaki had easily revealed with his words that he was quite knowledgeable and intelligent. Calling him stupid was therefore very redundant. Sasuke immediately wished he could see the voice in his head, so he could glare the annoying voice to death.
He was not interested in listening to any voice of reason, thank you very much. Besides, he was certain that the intelligence the blonde had exhibited had to be a fluke. At that thought, Sasuke smirked.
He climbed out of his bed, and slid his feet into his slippers. There was now a way for him to confirm that what happened at the party had to be an accident, an aberration that he would be able to prove. All he had to do was to attend the stupid dates, and soon enough, especially since the blonde now realised who is date would be, Naruto would not be able to control himself and his stupidity and his boring nature would be revealed. Sasuke fairly cackled at his brilliance. That is, until he glanced at the clock by the side of the bed, and realised that he only had about thirty minutes to get ready for his class.
Shit! That would mean no exercise for me this morning. That is the reason why associating with and dreaming of that stupid blonde is sure to put me in trouble. Even with him not here, he still messes up my routine!

Naruto turned the key in the lock, and turned the knob, letting himself into his apartment. His hands flicked the switch on, and light flooded the place. His knapsack landed on the floor with a thud and he bent to remove his shoes, his socks and his shirt, leaving a trail of footwear and clothing pieces as he made his way to the kitchen. He needed a cold drink and some food, and he needed them by yesterday. Damn Iruka Sensei! What was his business and fascination with the stupid revolution carried out by the French? That was all they had been discussing about in class for over six weeks now. As far as Naruto was concerned, the French should have been more organised. If they had really wanted to change the fate of their country, then they should have been certain that Louis XIV would be replaced by someone better. Instead, they replaced Monarchy with Autocracy and got Napoleon Bonaparte instead. Of course, the man helped raise the country, and restore onto it, its former glory. Naruto knew that he could not argue with that. However, what Napoleon was still went against what the French people had battled for.
As Naruto gulped down the contents of his soda drink, and ran his hands over his mouth to get rid of the residue, a light went on in his head. He did a whoop and some ass shaking, as it occurred to him that he had finally figured out his answer to Iruka Sensei's latest assignment. Now, all he had to do was to remember all he had just thought, and put them down on his laptop. The paper smelt like an A.
The whistle that was on Naruto's lips died as he turned around and noticed that his answering machine was blinking red.
Hmmn. I wonder who called. Usually, my friends and parents simply call me on my cell.
With a shrug of his shoulders, he strolled to the machine and pushed the play back button. Immediately, Naruto heard laughter that had the hairs at the back of his neck prickle. Kyuubi's voice flooded the room. "Hello cousin dearest. It's been a while. Did you miss me?"
No, I most certainly did not. In fact, I don't think I have had as much peace, as he I have had since you moved to Suna. Naruto thought, as he crossed his arms.
"Anyway, I'm calling to inform you that I will be in Konoha in a few days. I called uncle Minato, and imagine my surprise when he told me that you still haven't fallen in love, nor gotten someone to fuck your brains out." The message stopped for a while as Kyuubi guffawed and Naruto felt his face flush.
"Of course uncle didn't put it that way exactly. But, you know how I like to paraphrase. Anyway, he said you don't go out very much, and that is something that worries me greatly. So, I have decided to fix that problem, and what better way to help you out than to have you meet my friends, new and old, and the acquaintances I have made since I left Konoha, and the few ones that are still in Konoha of course. I am sure you will be able to choose one of them as your boyfriend. I will be in Konoha for a month, and I can guarantee it that you will have a date every night until I leave. So, see you soon cousin".
The message ended with a click, while Naruto stared with horror at the machine. Hell no! There was no way in hell he was going out on any dates with Kyuubi's friends. Not even for all the ramen in the world. At that thought, Naruto paused. Okay, maybe he might consider a date or two for ramen.
No! What the hell am I thinking? No dating of Kyuubi's friends. Ever.
They were all weird. Saimon had a thing for licking Naruto anytime he was close to him. Naruto shuddered at the memory. Yuck! And then, there was Yogi. The idiot that was convinced that Naruto would date him if he ever succeeded in feeding Naruto love potions. Not that Naruto would touch anything the creep made with a ten foot pole. Then there was Rei. Pretty boy Rei, with his pretty manners and amazing body. Naruto had even fancied himself half in love with him. Until he had paid and unannounced visit, and found Rei with a cow's intestines around his neck and wrist, paying homage to a miniature carving of a cow in the middle of Rei's living room. Naruto had run like the hounds of hell were chasing him, to the sound of Rei shouting, "Come back here you heathen, and pay homage to the great cow".
That had been a narrow escape. Kyuubi's friends were definitely as crazy as Kyuubi himself; some worse than the others. There was no way he was setting himself up to that torture.
It looks like I will be stuck with Sasuke until the month ends and Kyuubi leaves. Besides, the devil one knows is better than the unknown angel anyway.
If Naruto had possessed any powers or psychic abilities, he would have been witness to Kyuubi calling Minato to inform him that he had played his own part. Naruto would also have heard the two of them laughing.

He sensed the presence behind him, long before he reached the door to his apartment. His hands were steady as he dipped them into his pockets, took out his bunch of keys and raised them to the door. Just as the keys got close to the key hole, he swiftly turned around, and the key slashed through the air, aimed at the person behind him, only for the older man to bend backwards; effectively causing the key to miss its target.
A tsking sound was heard before, "You're getting very sloppy little brother", could be heard. Itachi crossed his arms with a smug look on his face.
"Itachi, what the hell do you think you're doing?" Sasuke hissed, as brought his bunch of keys back to himself and curled his fingers around it.
Damn Itachi! What the hell is wrong with him anyway? Doesn't he know how creepy what he had just done is?
Sasuke had sensed that someone had been following him since he left the school, but he had been bidding his time, waiting until he got to his own turf, before he attacked. Trust that it was annoying brother that had been stalking him. Why didn't the bastard just remain at home with his boyfriend anyway?
"I merely needed to talk with you, Sasuke".
"And you couldn't call like a normal person?" Sasuke asked, and opened his door, to let himself and Itachi in.
"What? And miss your sloppy defence skills and the look on your face as I hand you this? Not on your life", Itachi said, as he waved some paperwork in Sasuke's face.
"What the hell is that?"
"Your reservations for your first date of course little brother. What else could it be? I accessed your account on the website. By the way, you need to come up with another password other than our mother's name. You make it too easy to hack into your account. Anyway, your first date, according to the website, should be at the Akimichi's arcade at seven sharp. Do not be late". And with those words, Itachi gave a wink and left the apartment.
The door shut behind him with a click. Sasuke sighed a she walked to the table Itachi had tossed the papers on. It looked like he had a date for Saturday then, and there was no way he could get out of it.
His phone vibrated briefly, and Sasuke pulled it out of his pocket, and flipped it open. An instant message from Neji flashed across the screen.
Hey. Where are you?
Sasuke's hands moved quickly as he typed in his reply. I'm at home. Just received a visit from Itachi about my date for Saturday.
Hmmn. He dropped my reservations when he saw me at the university. It would seem like Gaara and I's first date would be at an amusement park, followed by a night at the club. Will see you Monday. Neji replied, and sighed off.
Sasuke closed his phone with a snap and walked to the bar. He needed a drink badly. As he sipped his sake, he wondered how Naruto would be getting his own copy of the reservations.

"I really wish I could go on the date with you..." Naruto barely refrained from scratching his head, as he mentally went through the list of names in his memory, trying to remember the name of Kyuubi's purple haired friend, who had a thing for constantly licking his lips and shuffling his feet. Ha! He remembered. "...Hana. But, I can't. You see, I'm sort of seeing someone at the moment, and I even have a date with him this Saturday".
"And why don't I believe you? But even if you are seeing someone, you can still go out on a date with me as well, on Sunday maybe. I am sure I will be able to make you change your mind".
No way in hell. Sasuke might be a bastard, but at least he is easy to look at, more intelligent, and has confidence dripping from his pores. Why the hell will I choose a pathetic, not so good looking wimp like you over him?
"I'm sorry Hana. But you see, my parents have already met him, and they not only accepted him, but they like him as well. So, it is that serious already".
Hana looked crestfallen for a little while, but just as he brightened up and was about to probably make another comment about how he was the right man for Naruto, the door opened to let in Kushina who waved some papers above her head. "So, here's the reservations for your date with Sasuke. You are to meet at Akimichi's arcade, and the night should progress from there. Your date starts at seven, so ensure that you are not late".
"What sort of person sets a man up on a date instead of allowing him to choose his partner for himself", Hana jumped in with his chest puffed out, before Naruto could give a reply to his mother's words.
Kushina turned narrowed eyes to Hana before asking, "And who the hell are you?"
Hana flinched slightly before pulling himself up and declaring loudly, "I am the man who would soon become Naruto's boyfriend. Who are you?"
"I am his mother, little one. And I will suggest you make yourself scarce. At least, until you grow some backbone".
Naruto had to suppress the snicker that almost escaped at the terrified look Hana gave Kushina before bolting out the door.
"Did you really have to do that mother?" Naruto asked as he collected the papers from Kushina.
"Of course. It's fun." Kushina said.
With a laugh and a wave, she was gone and Naruto had to shake his head. His mother was definitely crazy.

The night had flown by. They had met at the park, and after the initial hesitation, Gaara had thawed slightly, and they had moved to the Ferris wheel. Although, considering that his date barely said full sentences, Neji guessed that his thinking that Gaara had thawed at all, was a bit of a stretch. The redhead was probably still pissed at him about the kiss at the party. Although whether Gaara was pissed because Neji had kissed him, or because Neji had kissed someone in a raccoon mask, who might not have been Gaara, Neji had no idea. All he knew was that Gaara had been spitting mad after the masks had been removed. So, Gaara's almost silence was definitely better than he not showing up for the date at all, or leaving immediately after he put in an appearance. So, Neji was counting his blessings.
The date at the park though had helped him to discover something important. Gaara loved the Ferris wheel, car races and possessed a sweet tooth. The redhead also loved to torture him. Neji had spent the entire time at the amusement park trying to adjust his swollen cock, so he could move about more easily, and would not terrify anyone that came within a ten mile radius with a hard cock that kept pointing at the delectable ass that Gaara, the minx, kept shaking in front of him.
Now, they were at the club, and that gorgeous ass was right in front of his cock; grinding, taunt and so damn perfect. Gaara did a particular wiggle that had Neji moaning and bringing Gaara's ass even closer to his aching cock. Of course, at that particular moment, Gaara spun around, did a glide down Neji's body that ended with Gaara's equally hard cock brushing Neji's dick briefly.
Neji bit his lower lip, and just when he was about to start the grinding and humping session, Gaara pulled back to whisper in his ear. "Need a drink and a smoke", and then walked away.
Neji stared at the ass, with his breath coming out in little pants. Damn! This was going to be one long night.

Sasuke leaned against the juke box that was at the moment playing a classic from five years before; a song titled Aioi, by a singer he had forgotten. Although the reason why he remembered the title of the song, and not the artist who sang it, he had no idea.
He tucked his hands deep into the pockets of his pants as his eyes scanned the crowd for his date. It was about two minutes past seven, and he briefly wondered if maybe Uzumaki Naruto not show up for the date. Why that caused his chest to tighten briefly, he had no idea. He shuffled his feet and changed his leaning position against the juke box.
Suddenly, there was static in his ear, and he could hear Itachi's voice clearly, through the ear piece he had in his ear. "Stop shuffling about. You look suspicious. Lighten up, and do not scare the boy away."
"I don't think you know anything about lightening up Itachi. Besides, I do not think Uzumaki will take kindly to being called a boy." Sasuke responded immediately.
"I know tons of stuff about lightening up. It always gives me a relief to release all the tension. Ask Deidara. He will tell you that I'm always much lighter after a good session."
Sasuke choked on his saliva as Itachi's words ran through his mind. Shit! I definitely did not need that particular image. Damn Itachi!
"Shut up, Itachi."
"I wish I could little brother. However, it gives me great joy to know that I will be a witness to your date with Naruto, and I can also be a buzzing sound in your ear. Now remember, be less hostile. Will check up with you later. Deidara is calling."
And with those words, there was blessed relief. Sasuke released a sigh at the silence, and his chest felt lighted as he spotted a familiar blonde making his way towards him.
Naruto had on a grey sweater over black, obviously well worn jeans, and a pair of white sneakers. His outfit suited him perfectly.
"So, Sasuke."
"Hmmn."
He watched the blue eyes narrow slightly as Naruto responded, "I don't know you well enough to understand your 'hmmn'. So, can we please stick to words and forms of expression that we both can understand?"
Sasuke inclined his head. "Fair enough".
"So, what do you think we should do? I don't think standing here awkwardly will count as a date", Naruto said after the silence had stretched for a while.
Sasuke turned to look at him, as he asked. "So, what do you suggest we do?"
"Well, from the papers we got, we have to spend two hours here. Right?"
Sasuke nodded, wondering what Uzumaki was getting at.
"Well then, do you play video games?"
Another nod from Sasuke was the reply Naruto got. "Good. Let's go to the video game section, where I shall proceed to kick your butt at street fighter."
"Child. I have been playing that game since before you were born. If there is anyone whose ass will be kicked..." this was followed by a glance to said butt, and a smile, "...it will be yours", Sasuke concluded.
Naruto gave a slight huff as he replied. "That's easy for you to say. The question is, can you put your money where your mouth is? Lets' have a bet. The loser pays for tonight's date".
Sasuke's smirk widened as he nodded. Together, the blonde and his raven haired date walked to where the video games were located.

Naruto glanced at his date. It was amazing the level of concentration Sasuke was giving to the orchestral performance that was written and led by Yuki Mizotari. The music was indeed haunting and beautiful, but Naruto would have assumed that someone like Sasuke would consider such a thing trifling and too emotional for a man.
For someone so stoic, Sasuke seemed really involved in the performance. He never even took his eyes off the stage. Naruto shook his head slightly with a smile. It would seem that his promise to be cordial and even friendly to Sasuke had paid off.
Of course, he had made that promise in the hopes that he would be able to get Sasuke to continue to appear for their dates. Now, it looked like there would be an added advantage to that.
Sasuke reached out hid hand to grab some popcorn from the bucket, and their hands brushed. He turned to look at Naruto who gave a smile to which Sasuke gave a brief nod, before turning his attention back to the performance. Naruto leaned back in his seat. The date had turned out not to be a bad thing after all.
As he and Sasuke strolled out to their cars, Naruto thought of the night's events. It had turned out to be better than he had expected, which was definitely a good thing. He got to his car first and unlocked the doors. As he slid into the seat, Sasuke rested his fingers against the door. "Good night dumbass. And thanks for being so generous as to pay for the date".
Naruto snickered. "Good night bastard. And who knows, you might just pay for the next date."
All he got was a smirk, as Sasuke walked away, with his hands buried in the pockets of his pants.

Author's Note: So, there you have it. So, sorry the chapter is so short. Will try and do better next time. Kay.
Well, then read and review and let me know what you think. Ja ne.
