"And the path you take might lead you home but tonight / you walk on streets of gold"

The lyrics played into Naruto ears. He bobbed his head slightly with the beat and to the rhythm of his step. He was headed back to the dorms. It was starting to rain. He looked up at the sky and made a face. It would be at least 10 more minutes until he reached the safety of his dorm room. He hoped it wouldn't get worse. Or that it wasn't foreshadowing to a worse night to come.

The rain picked up and so did his jog. He dug his hands into his jacket pockets and raced to the main entrance of building four. He rifled through the numerous pockets of his cargo pants for his keys but couldn't find them. Trying to think back to when he last had them he remembered leaving them on the desk. Again.

"SAS-KAY!" Naruto yelled up to his window. The rain splashed on his face in big fat drops, running down his neck and giving him chills.

"SAS-KAY! LET ME IN! IT'S FREAKIN RAINING! COME ON, GUY!"

A light came on from their room then the window opened up for Sasuke to poke his head out. His hair was flat on one side and his eyes were kind of puffy. Naruto could tell he woke him up which means he was going to be a bigger ass than normal.

"Keys are in your bag, dobe. I slipped them in before you left." He shut the window and turned off the light.

Naruto slipped off his pack and found them in the front zippered pocket. After getting inside and shaking off slightly he froze. It was extremely out of character for Sasuke to do even the nicest of things for him. Why would he have put his keys in his bag? Naruto looked out the glass door and contemplated for a moment if it would be easier to ride out the storm while sleeping in a tree rather then go up to his room and face whatever he did wrong to Sasuke. He sighed then started climbing the stairs to the third floor but kept the tree in mind.

He opened the dorm door as quietly as he could then tip-toed through the mediocre kitchen space. The dorms where split into four man cells. Two people per room. Naruto was way more excited about bunk beds than any 17 year old should be. He dumped his pack on the couch and went to the bathroom to peel his wet clothes off. He was soaked through and started shivering once he finally got his pants off. He ruffled a towel over his hair in an attempted in drying it off right as the door was thrown open. When he looked up, a hand caught his throat and threw him against the wall. Sasuke looked exhausted this close up. He had bags under his eyes that they were reduced to slits from swelling.

"You have no idea what you did, do you?"

Naruto tried to respond but he just ended up coughing. Sasuke had too firm a grip for him to get a word out which he must have realized at that moment and loosed it enough for him to respond.

"Do I ever?"

Sasuke shook his head and leaned his forehead against the wall, pushing his body against Naruto's. He wet boxer briefs were clinging to the both of them and got slightly tighter once their bodies touched. Naruto hated how easy he was to excite. He had been trying to hide this from Sasuke since they were little. Sasuke, Sakura and him were like a golden trio. Together since infanthood. Naruto had always been attached to him just slightly more than a friend should be. Once he hit puberty it made sense to him but didn't make it any easier to accept. He tried to force it out of him and go after girls but it was just never the same. Maybe it was the fact that Sasuke wasn't attracted to him, or anyone for that matter, that drew Naruto to him. Once they started living together it only got worse. Any time Sasuke got near him it happened. A half or a whole, his attention was on one thing.

"Sakura told me everything"

Sasuke's lips brushed against Naruto's ear. Sending a chill straight to his groin and causing his underwear to tighten its restriction. It was impossible to miss even if Sasuke's hips weren't pressed against him. His heart started pounding. Naruto had always told Sakura everything and up until now, she always kept a secret.

"I d-d-don't have a-any idea what your ta-akin about dude"

Naruto gulped and cursed himself. He was getting good at hiding his stutter when he was nervous. Stupid stupid stupid. She fuckin told him about your feelings. He's gonna slaughter you.

Sasuke kissed him full on the mouth, one hand on his hip and the other still at his throat. Naruto almost choked up. It was better than any of the times he played it over in his head. He had wanted this for years now and never wanted it to end.

Sasuke pulled away and let go of Naruto's throat. He rested his forehead against Naruto's and was panting slightly.

"You should have told me, you big fucking scaredy cat."

Sasuke walked out of the bathroom, leaving Naruto wet and confused. He was still panting slightly and slid his hand down to his crotch. He held it for a second and winced.

Well, what am I supposed to do with you now?
