Penguins Go Splat

Here we go, sorry for the wait. School is busy, hectic is more like it, but yea... for you. Enjoy^_^

Ch.2

Naruto woke up with the feeling of being watched, he stretched and slowly opened his eyes, another stretch and his eyes shot open in surprise and he sat up quickly, his foot had touched a non-blanket warm lump. He looked to the end of his bed; he had hit a Sasuke lump.

“Teme…” Uchiha blinked sleepily, his eyes focusing on the blonde.

“What Dobe?”

“Same to you teme, why are you sitting on my bed?” the blonde narrowed his eyes.

“To be honest I’m not entirely sure.” Sasuke looked a little confused.

“Teme, why the hell are you on my bed?” Naruto was angry now, first the raven had the audacity to even be in his half of the room, but he had woken the blonde up, and that was just not allowed.

“It’s Shika’s fault” Naruto’s eyebrows shot up. Shika? The hell is going on inside that teme’s head?

“This whole thing.” The blonde was definitely confused now.

“Still not following teme.” Sasuke stood and looked down at Naruto; he took two steps, placed a hand on the blonde’s shoulder and pushed him backwards. Next thing Naruto knew were Sasuke’s lips against his own, he opened his mouth to protest and the raven’s hot tongue entered to dance with his own. The blonde turned his head, effectively breaking off kiss and gave Sasuke a hard push sending him tumbling away from the bed. Naruto jumped out of his bed and grabbing a discarded t-shirt and some jeans, he ran out of the dorm.

“I blame Shikamaru,” Sasuke said as he sat up from his spot on the floor.

~/~/~/~

Naruto pulled on the shirt as he stormed down the corridor, the pants he decided, would have to wait until he got to his destination. He stopped at dorm 372 and banged on the door several times, he heard grumbling from inside and grinned evilly, he wasn’t going to be the only grumpy one this morning. The door swung open to reveal a very disgruntled Chouji, roommate to one Shikamaru, he was chubby but in a healthy ‘I like my food’ sort of way, he had beautiful eyes and his hair was a light shade of brown, the brunette moved out of the blonde’s way, inviting him in.

“Sorry Chouji-kun,” Naruto said, “I thought you were still visiting at home.” Chouji smiled in understanding.

“Got home this morning.” He cast a quick look over at his sleeping roommate. “He the one that got your panties in a twist?” Naruto shot him a confused look and shook his head.

“Not really, but he’s been accused.” The blonde smiled grimly. “I’m going to see if I can’t clear his name, else wise he’s in trouble.” Chouji distinctly disliked the gleam in his friend’s eyes and decided that he would really rather be somewhere else when the shit hit the fan.

“I’m going to go for a jog.” Chouji excused himself.

“Ah” Naruto nodded and refocused his attention on his sleeping prey. Shikamaru’s hair was out of its usual ponytail and was splayed out against his pillow; though peaceful he still looked just as lazy asleep as he did when he was awake. Naruto pounced and landed on the boy’s stomach, a leg on either side. Shikamaru ‘oofed’ and opened bleary eyes to gaze at his blonde friend.

“What is it?” His voice was scratchy from sleep, the sound effectively sent shivers down Naruto’s spine, the blonde grinned wickedly and leaned down to touch their noses together.

“Sasuke-teme blames you.” Shikamaru raised a brow; his raven haired friend hadn’t spoken to him since that night two weeks ago and now he was being woken up and accused of some imaginary crime.

“Troublesome,” The brunette sighed. “What for?” he leaned up slightly and planted a good morning kiss on the side of Naruto’s mouth.

“It was you!” the blonde gasped and sat up, wiggling until he was comfortable; this action caused the brunette to groan. Controlling himself, the lazy looking youth looked up at Naruto and asked him again,

“What did I do?”

“Sasuke-teme woke me up this morning, he was sitting on the end of my bed staring at me, then,” Naruto grimaced slightly. “He kissed me, I mean really kissed me.” The blonde stuck out his tongue, oh how Shika wanted a taste; had Sasuke really done what the blonde was accusing him of?

“And this is my fault how?” Naruto shot him an accusing look.

“Sasuke-teme kept saying ‘It’s all Shika’s fault’, so you’re gonna have to tell me what you did to Sasuke-teme, else there’ll be trouble.” Blue eyes twinkled victoriously as the blonde crossed his arms over his chest. Oh hell, Shika thought, he looks so adorable when he does that. The brunette sighed, morning was really not a good time to have a certain blonde straddling his lap; especially not after the dreams he had been having recently.

“Ah” Shikamaru moaned softly, the blonde was doing things to him that no one else could; and he doesn’t even know it. “Well, I think I may know what he’s going on about.” He shifted his hips slightly trying to ease the pressure and hide his erection from the oblivious blonde.

“Oh,” Naruto leaned back down, his lips brushing the shell of Shika’s ear. “Is that so?” he purred.

“Ahh…” So the blonde was no longer oblivious, that was fine; maybe he could have company in his shower this morning.

“Are you going to tell me?” Shika hated it when Naruto decided to be sexy; he couldn’t even think properly when the blonde turned “the sexy” on. (That’s what Naruto calls it. He usually saves it for clubbing, or pissing off Sasuke, but on occasion he uses it for torture.)

“No.” grunted the brunette; he rocked his hips up against Naruto’s rear, his breath hitching. The blonde smirked, “the sexy” now all the way on. He rubbed himself against Shikamaru causing his friend to moan deliciously.

“Are you sure you won’t tell me?” Naruto licked Shikamaru’s ear.

“Very sure…” he brought his hands up to cup Naruto’s face and he looked him in the eye. “Help me with this,” he rocked his hips again, causing them both to moan. “And I’ll tell you whatever you want to hear.” The blonde grinned and sealed his lips against Shikamaru’s.

~/~/~/~

Chouji returned to the dorm after his 30 minute jog and was about to enter when he heard a particularly loud moan come from behind the door. So he gave in today, he smiled and headed towards the communal bath. He didn’t want to interrupt what he knew would be the hottest thing the school had ever seen. (The only thing hotter, according to Shikamaru, would be if the Uchiha joined them.)

~/~/~/~

Naruto lay wrapped in Shikamaru’s arms and smiled contentedly, he and the brunette had been ‘dating’ for nearly three years and they were still mad for each other.
“Now,” Naruto said sternly. “Tell me what you did to Sasuke-teme to make him decide to kiss me. And why aren’t you upset about it?” The blonde felt Shikamaru take a deep breath.

“To be honest,” he sighed, troublesome. “I kissed him first.” Naruto sat up, sending the blanket flying.

“You what?” he stared down at his lover.

“I.” Shikamaru sat up slightly and leaned over to kiss the blonde’s hand. “Kissed.” Another kiss, this one on the wrist. “Him.” Inner elbow. “First.” Shoulder. The brunette brought a hand to Naruto’s face and kissed him full on the lips. This seemed to have the desired effect on the blonde because he kissed Shikamaru back passionately. When Shikamaru was certain that his blonde lover had forgiven him, he broke the kiss and hugged him tightly.

“But why…?” Naruto whispered softly.

“Because.” Shikamaru smirked, knowing that he was teasing his lover.

“Shika…” Uh oh, the tone was coming; so the brunette thought that it would be in his best interest to answer the blonde’s question.

“Well, it was that last night that you two had argued you remember?”

“Yea, Sasuke-teme was yelling at his brother over the phone and told him to die; of course I had to open my big mouth…” Shikamaru gave Naruto an affectionate squeeze.

“Well after I carried you back to your dorm I grabbed him and pretty much told him to find a new way to get your attention.” Naruto sat back and blinked a few times;

“You told him to kiss me?”

“Not in so many words…”

“But…why?”

“Because… you are both my closest friends, when he hurts you it hurts me and vice-versa. You see?” Naruto nodded slowly. “I need you to both be happy.” Shikamaru met Naruto’s eyes and saw understanding, he smiled; a real smile and hugged his lover even tighter.

“But you kissing him… does that mean you want him too?” the brunette gave a small nod.

“But not at the expense of loosing you, the only way Sasuke would be with us is if you wanted it.” Naruto leaned and pecked Shikamaru on the lips, with a small nibble he smirked.

“I’m not going to promise anything to do with Sasuke-teme,” he sighed and smiled lovingly. “But I’m not going anywhere, you and I; well you’re stuck with me. I’ve grown pretty fond of you.” The blond laughed and got off of the bed. He had class in an hour and he needed to shower (again) and finish his homework.

“So I’ll never be rid of you?” Naruto pulled on his pants and shook his head, bending to retrieve his shirt he heard Shikamaru chuckle and mutter something along the lines of “troublesome”. He pulled the shirt over his head, gave Shikamaru another kiss and was on his way back to his dorm.

Shikamaru sighed contentedly and flopped back onto his bed, the blonde was still his, oh how he loved his life. He closed his eyes and slept, he decided that he would need to be fully rested for the events that were sure to unfold.


~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~


Sasuke was lying in bed when the blond returned, he’d been gone for two hours… no he wasn’t looking at the clock every five minutes… hourly. He heard the door close and the sigh his dorm-mate let escape as he leaned against the shut door.

“Shika no baka.” The whisper made its way to Sasuke’s ears, he heard the blond move away form the door and start gathering his clothes and books. The blond did have class in less than an hour (not that Sasuke had memorized his schedule… Never!)

“Sasuke…” the raven’s head shot up, the ever present ‘teme’ had been left off; there was something serious going down.

“hn?” the universal grunt of acknowledgment (perfected first, of course, by one Mr. Heero Yuy. {Who may graciously appear in this story... but maybe not?? Who knows?} and passed down through the generations of the anime world, may his trademark live on forever… *coughs* now back to the fic.) Sasuke looked over to the blonds’ half of the room and saw Naruto’s head peaking around the corner of his closet.

“Ano…” he stepped into full view, he was wearing Sasuke’s favorite pants, they were made for his body; the ones Shikamaru had bought for him when the blond had out-grown the orange jumpsuit phase. The shirt he was going to wear was hanging in his right hand while his left supported him against the closet.

“Dobe, you have class in fifteen minutes,” the raven said disappointedly.

“I know Sasuke-teme,” Naruto made a frustrated gesture and muttered “I don’t even know why I bothered, teme.” He turned towards the door.

“Bothered, What?” blue eyes widened impossibly, Sasuke wasn’t supposed to hear that.
“Nothing, teme.” He reached for the door, when he found himself suddenly pressed against it and facing Sasuke. {How’d he get so fast he wondered? [me too??]}

“Nothing?” Sasuke hissed. “Is that what you think of me?” This is not what Shikamaru meant when he’d told Sasuke to try other methods of getting the blonds’ attention; of this Sasuke was sure, but it was too late.

“I never said that” Naruto’s voice was laced with anger and growing louder on every syllable. Sasuke could hear the blonde’s pain beneath it. “Never, I would never say that,” All pain, the tone pulled at something inside Sasuke, made him feel like his heart was going to sink into his stomach and be devoured. Without thinking he wrapped Naruto in a strong embrace and kissed his cheek.

“I know,” the raven whispered softly, “I know”. Naruto stood in shock, where the hell had his Sasuke-teme gone? He tried to push the raven away but only managed to land them in a heap on the floor. Naruto managed to push himself out of Sasuke’s grasp only to find he was straddling the raven’s hips, he looked confused. {Seriously where is Sasuke-teme?}.

“Who are you?” Sasuke gave the blond the ‘you’ve got to be kidding me look’. “Where’s my Sasuke-teme? Where’s the bastard that can always make me angry, who is always mean to me? What’d you do with him?” the raven opened his mouth to answer when the door opened.
Shikamaru stood shocked in the doorway.

“Naru?” Shikamaru had come to his senses. He scrunched his eyebrows, “you’re late for class.” The lazy youth moved aside as the blond, in a blur, pulled on his shirt, grabbed his books, glanced at Sasuke still on the floor, kissed Shikamaru and ran to class. Where he was sure Kakashi (Hatake) - sensei was going to skin-him-alive for his tardiness.
Shikamaru flopped onto Naruto’s bed and turned his gaze to a very flustered Sasuke who was working at getting up off the floor. The brunette chuckled and patted the space beside him, indicating the raven to fill it. The bed dipped as the raven sat down, he leaned his head against the brunette’s shoulder.

“Look at it this was Sasu,” Shikamaru wrapped an arm around his friend. “Yet again he has focused every ounce of his attention on you.”

“Quiet you!” Sasuke groaned. “This is still all your fault.”

“Oh?”

“Yes, you’re greedy!”

“Sasu, what are you talking about?” Shikamaru shifted to be able to look at Sasuke. The raven was sporting the most adorable look of confusion.

“You, you want more than you can handle.”

“Oh I can definitely handle everything you and Naru can dish out, you two just need to redirect your energy.” The brunette lay back against the bed pulling Sasuke down with him; the raven rolled over and wrapped an arm around Shikamaru; two weeks since his friend has kissed him and suggested trying other tactics to get Naruto’s attention. Two weeks of the Shikamaru talking about his obsession with the blond, two weeks of the brunette frustrating and arousing him.

“Heh, we’ll see” Sasuke kissed Shikamaru’s neck and rested his head against the brunette’s shoulder.

“That, we will.” Eyes closed the lazy youth promptly fell asleep. Sasuke smiled and thought about how lucky he was to have Shikamaru, ever since he’d become friends with the brunette Sasuke knew their friendship was something to cherish. Shika was the first person he had met who didn’t care about his family, who wasn’t scared away. It had been easy for Sasuke to see the brunette as more than just a friend; so easy that it scared him. Sasuke’s heart had stopped when Shika told him of Naruto’s pain; of how much Sasuke himself had hurt him. It had taken a full week to express this to the brunette and once he had understood that the lazy one felt the same.

The arm around his waist squeezed him gently and was soon followed by Shikamaru’s slow breathing; the raven grinned, Shikamaru could fall asleep anywhere- anytime, no matter what was going on around him. Just last semester while writing his quantum theory exam Sasuke had seen him sleeping on his desk, exam finished; that had been fifteen minutes into the exam.

“Lazy genius” the raven muttered, and though he had finished only 20 minutes after his friend he still felt inferior. {although I did finish a whole grade point ahead of him … Shika 98%-- Sasu 99%} He knew he was smart, he knew Shikamaru was smarter; what he couldn’t figure out was how they were both in love with Naruto. Sasuke disentangled himself from Shikamaru’s embrace. He had homework to do, and he wasn’t ready for Naru to see them just yet, if the time arose he would have no problem shocking the blond into action.
