Hi!!! Well I was inspired to write this because my friend was having issues, because others kept saying this person she likes sleeps around with everyone. So I told her, if someone really cares about you, then they'll change the way they act. And I thought to myself, wouldn't it be something if I wrote a story where Sasuke is a player and only changes his ways for Naruto? Hahaha, so here it is! Enjoy!!! Thanks for reading!

Summary: Naruto, the altruist and Sasuke, the heartbreaker are like two different puzzle pieces that manage to fit together. However, they both have some changing to do. Will Sasuke realize how much Naruto means to him? Or will he continue his promiscuous lifestyle until he drives Naruto away? Will Naruto realize he doesn't have to face life alone? Or will he continue to battle his inner demons until they conquer him? Will they change for each other, for love's sake? AU, SasuNaru.

Of course I don't own Naruto.

Those who are in love act in mysterious ways. People are people and each individual behaves in a way that is almost always specific to them. While personalities are not stable, there are certain patterns that can be seen in other people, if watched closely enough. And as is obviously known, some behaviors are more taboo than others. Some people indulge in unhealthy deeds and to others… it seems as if these people will always be this way. But this is not true.

Imagine two people deeply in love. Their souls have been intertwined, their lives rewritten, their minds aligned. However, one is addicted to nicotine and the other is an asthmatic. What will the smoker do? The smoker will cast away the cigarettes and change, in order to accommodate the asthmatic. If not, the smoker will become detrimental to the asthmatic. Therefore, the smoker will become a different individual with whom the asthmatic can exist comfortably with. After all, isn't love worth it? And if this asthmatic is not the smoker's soul mate, then there would be no reason to change in the first place. For you see, some types of change can only be motivated by true love...

Uchiha Sasuke is a manipulative, immoral player. He gave up on love at the tender age of seven, after his parents were murdered and as a result, is emotionless and uncaring. To him, the human body (be it male or female) is something to be used until he has tired of it. He acquires whatever he wants with ease: money, sex, fame, possessions, employment, etc. There is nowhere he cannot go, nothing he cannot say… the life of an Uchiha is full of endless opportunity. As he grew older, he realized that was something missing in his life. And because there was a void in his life, Sasuke eventually turned to the dilapidation of his body. He began to use his charm and good looks to seduce anyone who caught his eye. And for years, his skills of seduction worked on everyone.

Enter Uzumaki Naruto, an altruistic, righteous protector. Love is the most important thing in the world to him, especially since his Godfather told him how much his deceased parents loved him. He cherishes and defends those around him and will willingly sacrifice himself for those he cares about. His life has never been easy, but his determination, resilience, and heart help him rise up to face any challenge. However, as the blonde aged, he noticed something. While he would give anything and everything to anyone that asked, not everyone would do the same for him. He had dedicated years of his life to helping the world… but the world would not reciprocate. This did not change his generous behavior, but on the inside, Naruto wanted someone to give themselves fully to him.

Change for Me?

Naruto was trying to enjoy his first few days of summer. He would have fallen asleep, lying in the grass. But he wasn't stupid. Konohamaru was being too quiet. So he sat up and saw Konohamaru standing next to their house. The patio was covered with blotches of paint and there was a huge, purple spot on the house itself.

"Konohamaru!!!!! What are you doing?" Naruto shrieked loudly.

"What does it look like, blondie? I'm painting a mural!" Konohamaru retorted.

"You little delinquent… wash that paint off right now!!!" Naruto growled.

"Aw, c'mon Naruto… I could draw a pretty picture of a sun or a waterfall. Or a monkey's ass… whichever you prefer." Konohamaru grinned cheekily and Naruto inwardly groaned. The blonde saw so much of himself in the brunette it was disturbing. But still, he didn't want a monkey's ass on the side of his house. So he had to play the part of the angry, authoritarian father.

"KONOHAMARUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Naruto shouted angrily, blue eyes narrowing at the boy.

"I know, I know… language." Konohamaru rolled his eyes. "I'll go get another bucket to wash off the paint." And with that, the fourteen-year-old boy strolled off inside the house, leaving Naruto to sigh loudly to himself.

Despite the fact that he was twenty-one, Naruto was actually Konohamaru's legal guardian. Old age had finally taken Sarutobi Hizuren seven months ago and the deceased mayor had actually left Konohamaru in Naruto's care. At first, no one would go against his word. And honestly, no one else probably wanted the responsibility. But, being Konohamaru's guardian did have its perks, as the blonde discovered. Naruto, in addition, also inherited Sarutobi's house… and quite a bit of money. And of course, once the gold diggers had found out about this, suddenly everyone wanted to be Konohamaru's friend. In fact, the only person that didn't try to manipulate the boy was his own uncle, Asuma.

Asuma quickly ended the "Try to Adopt Konohamaru" trend by making a televised statement about how he was the boy's only living relative and he fully respected his dead father's wishes and if anyone tried to take him away from Naruto there would be serious repercussions. And the two strangely similar males had been left alone ever since.

Naruto was still standing by the side of his house, shaking his head, when he noticed something happening next door. The house next to him had been on sale for the longest time. But now there was a sleek, black car in the driveway. The blonde had always been a curious person, so he strolled over the grass until he reached the car.

Tinted windows… Naruto leaned in close, pressing his face to the car. Doesn't look like there's anyone inside… The blonde slowly began to lean away, placing his hand on the car door. A shrill, unfamiliar noise invaded his ears and Naruto instantly leapt away from the car, hands over his ears.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" A cold, low voice asked and Naruto whirled around in shock. The owner of the voice (and most likely, the car) was standing before him, looking extremely pissed off. He was tall, dark, and handsome. Completely cliché, but yet completely true at the same time. Although his hair wasn't cliché at all, Naruto had never seen the back of someone's hair spike up like that.

"Er… well I noticed the car and I wanted to know if anyone was inside. I didn't mean to set off the alarm. Sorry about that." Naruto grinned sheepishly, his eyes roaming over his possible new neighbor. Bluish black hair, eyes as dark as the night, and skin as pale as the moon. This man was beautiful. But Naruto knew people and understood them. He knew that beauty came at a price. And what was this man's price?

"Hn." The dark man uttered in response, taking jingling keys out of his pocket and pressing a button on the biggest key. The alarm instantly turned off, to Naruto's relief.

Naruto kept waiting for the male to say something else… but he didn't say a single thing. Frowning slightly, the blonde cocked his head to one side and proceeded to stare intently at the source of his befuddlement. Until Konohamaru came crashing out of the house, carrying a bucket full of warm water.

"NARUTO!!!!!!!!!!!! Come help me wash the house!!!" Konohamaru bellowed as loudly as he could, causing the raven-haired male to stiffen slightly. Naruto snorted at the male's reaction, but turned his attention to his ward.

"Do it yourself you brat! You're the one who painted the house without my permission!!!" Naruto screeched back just as noisily. Mr. Tall-Dark-and-Handsome didn't like racket, apparently. The man was stalking back up the driveway. "Hey wait… what's your name? Are you moving in?"

The man spun around and glared at Naruto coldly. "Uchiha Sasuke. Yes, I am moving in. And I would appreciate if you kept the noise level down. Not all of us enjoy carrying on like rabid baboons." Sasuke continued to glower at Naruto, who was extremely pissed off by the raven's words.

"Then you moved into the wrong fucking house, teme!!!!" Naruto replied angrily. What is his deal? "I'll be just as loud as I want!" And with that, the blonde stomped over to his property without looking back once. If he had looked back, he would have seen the temporary shock on Sasuke's face.

Naruto scowled as he neared Konohamaru. The brunette studied him cautiously. "What's wrong?" Konohamaru inquired. "Why were you yelling at that guy before?"

"Because he's an asshole!" Naruto threw his hands in the air furiously. "Wash the paint off!" He saw Konohamaru flinch at his tone and immediately felt guilty. "And if you hurry up, we'll go get some ice cream."

"Really?" Konohamaru grinned hopefully.

"Really, really." Naruto imitated Shrek, one of their favorite movies. Maybe they would watch it tonight. It would certainly alleviate his mood.

"Sweet!!" Konohamaru snatched up the sponge that was on the ground and got to work. Naruto opened the screen door and smiled fondly at his kid, who was already engrossed in his work. Well biologically, Konohamaru wasn't his… but legally and emotionally, Konohamaru had been his relative for a long time. The two orphans had practically grown up together and they were brothers, in a way.

The blonde stepped into his house and shut the door. He walked into the living room, where there were pictures everywhere. He stopped to look at one of his favorites and picked it up. Sarutobi had his arm around a scowling Konohamaru, a twinkle in his aged eyes, Jiraiya was reading one his porn novels and consequently, had the widest smile on his face, and Naruto was laughing joyously, because he was with the people he cherished most. Yes, Naruto had a good life, but he didn't know it was about to get even better.

And that's it for now! If you noticed any mistakes, please bring them to my attention. Should I continue? Did you like it? Dislike it?
