Don't look back (NaruSasu)

Sasuke glared as he walked down the hallway, his mother was in one room with some guy, his father down the hall fucking his assistant, and his brother was in the study doing who knows what. The halls were long and empty and the whole house was cold, it had been for as long as he could remember the family fortune was dirty money Itachi only making it worse and no one spoke to each other. He was sure that actually they were broke but he didn’t know for sure.

He found his room empty completely empty not even his bed was there, he looked over his shoulder to find everything else gone too.

Sasuke’s eyes snapped open he looked around the room. It was a dream? That’s right he was in Naruto’s apartment. He left home to start a new life, next thing he knew he wound up here offered a job at the place, then dragged to the apartment of one of the bouncers.

Well that was the short story of it, he had nothing to go back to and owned nothing but the bag of clothes he had with him. Maybe he should count himself lucky to have come here looking for work. He got a job the first day and also found an idiot that was letting him stay here, a hot idiot, but idiot none the less.

“Hey hungry? We got eggs.”

Speaking of idiots Sasuke got out of the bed, grimacing as the bed squeaked every time he moved. “Over easy?”

“Scrambled?” Naruto smiled.

“Fine.” Sasuke grumbled making his way to the small kitchen, it was only like nine steps away, though he shouldn’t be so picky. “So you sure that Haku guy will be okay with me staying here?”

Naruto looked up from the food, “Huh? Why would he care?”

“You guys are close aren’t you?” Sasuke leaned against the door way.

“Well ya he’s like my baby brother though he only looks young actually he’s older than I am.” Naruto knitted his brows together. “Eh, either way I just really look after him.” Naruto scooted a plate on the counter towards Sasuke.

Sasuke grabbed the plate, looking and finding the small table against the wall in the living room. “ So no one that’s going to be pissy about me?”

Naruto smirked. “Nope don’t have anyone so don’t worry your free to flirt away.” Naruto snickered, normally he didn’t allow people from the club to flirt with him. He wasn’t sure what was different it wasn’t because Sasuke was a newbie, he was more protective of the newbie’s because they got in more trouble, he new the others that had been there awhile could take care of themselves though he still protected them. He vividly remembered Neji smashing a guys head through a car window for trying to molest him in the parking lot…

“Idiot I’m not flirting I just don’t do drama.” Sasuke slowly ate staring at the wall pretending not to hear the chuckle.

Sasuke ran his fingers through his hair after he shoved the money he made in his back pocket. He stared at himself in the mirror the faded blue jeans were kind of tight on him, he really needed to get new clothes. He shook his head as he started from the back, it was closing time so he decided to wait for Naruto inside this time-- not because he was worried about trouble, no four hours of Naruto whining and demanding he waited for him. Normally he wouldn’t care or even be okay with someone making demands from him, however, four hours of it he figured it was better to give the other male what he wanted instead of dragging it out.

Naruto was really hard headed while he wouldn’t admit he didn’t mind so much. “Sasuke right?” Haku smiled sliding Sasuke a drink as the other nodded.

“I’m Haku, just thought we should be friends since we work together.” Haku shrugged with a smile. “You ever need anything if you can't go to Naruto you can come to me.”

Sasuke arched a brow however didn’t say anything what was with the people in this place they were nicer and happier than he thought people who worked in a dance club would be. Haku seemingly caught on to that. "Ya know there isn’t many people in this world that are trustworthy, and there isn’t many you cant count on, but were friends here we trust each other and it helps us make it through the days.” Haku smiled.

Sasuke just stared at the male who laughed softly. “You’ll get used to it, and you’ll come to trust us.” Haku hoped.

Both males eyes shot to the door when it slammed open a guy rolling back on the floor unconscious, they looked back to Kiba and Naruto who both were grinning sheepishly. “Sorry,” spoken simultaneously.

“You know sometimes I fear you two enjoy your jobs way to much.” Haku placed his hands on his hips sighing.

“Well I’ll just be taking him out now.” Kiba grabbed a leg dragging the male up the two stairs and out the door as Naruto laughed.

“Oi, put him in the dumpster!”

“Naruto!” The blond looked back at Haku putting his hands up. “What?”

“When ever you and Kiba work the door together you two just go overboard, I don’t care if he started trouble don’t you dare put him in the dumpster.”

“B-but?”

“No!” Haku rose his voice as Naruto’s shoulders slumped. “Fine I’ll go stop him.” The blond hesitantly turned walking out the door as Haku sighed.

“Is he bipolar?” Sasuke frowned at the door way.

“What?” Haku turned back to Sasuke leaning his head to his side.

“Yesterday he acted like a badass still annoying though and today he’s acting like a little kid.” Sasuke snorted.

“Yesterday was a bad day we have them two or three times a week, and since we have a new dancer we'll have them for awhile, that’s probably why the old man put Kiba and Naruto outside together even if were having a bad day those two working together they always act like this, though I prefer a childish Naruto to a pissy one.” Haku giggled. “Though he is fun when annoyed he gets so hot headed.” Shaking his head he leaned in closer. “You just don’t want a seriously pissed Naruto that could end badly.”

Sasuke snorted again he found it hard to believe he wasn’t scary at all just hot and stupid… wait just stupid… that stupid toned body without a shirt on, he did not just think about Naruto standing in the kitchen this morning.

He only known the moron for two days well pushing two days, and that was just that he was not attracted to the bouncer from his work.

“Okay ready to go you two?” Naruto grinned, and Sasuke stared.

There was no way he was attracted to this guy not the piercings not the deliciously tanned flesh, he wasn’t attracted to him because he refused to be abandoned again. He turned his eyes away ignoring Naruto as the other who sat next to him as Haku quickly moved to finish up. “Hey Sasuke whatcha thinking so hard about? Is it me?” Naruto snickered when the other turned glaring at him.

“You wish.” Sasuke rolled his eyes.

“I do. I do.” Naruto laughed as Sasuke frowned, he would have said something if not for that laugh, he didn’t think he could take Naruto seriously. “Idiot.”

“Okay I’m done we can go.” Haku smiled looking between the two Sasuke’s nose was up facing away from Naruto who was smirking at the back of his head.

Naruto looked from Sasuke to Haku smiling. “Okay let's walk you home, then we can go home Sasuke.” Naruto stood as Sasuke tensed at the mention of home, the idiot really just didn’t say it like that, it wasn’t Sasuke’s home, he wasn’t living there.

“Want me to hold your hand again?” Naruto smirked chuckling when his hand was smacked away. “So prissy, jeez.” Naruto laughed at the glare walking ahead of Sasuke out of the club. He got the feeling the raven may try to shove the six inch heel boots in his hand down Naruto’s throat; death by woman’s shoes wasn’t how Naruto planned on going out.

Haku sighed shaking his head as he followed Naruto out. The trip to his apartment was mostly Naruto running his mouth and Sasuke glaring at him occasionally calling the blond an idiot.

The three stopped as Haku waved bye starting up the steps. “Haku I mean-,”

“I know, I know night Naruto.” Haku smiled going through the door, Sasuke arching his brow as they started walking.

“What's that about dobe? You said it last night.”

Naruto looked over his shoulder briefly before he shrugged. “I don’t like his boyfriend.”

Sasuke rolled his eyes. “So he should just leave him because you don’t like him? You want Haku?”

Naruto stopped looking back at Sasuke. “He hit Haku and I wanna kill him for it that reason enough?” Naruto started walking again. “I don’t want Haku I just want him to find someone who’ll treat him right.”

Sasuke came to where he was walking along side Naruto. “Haku seems too nice.”

“He is.” Naruto replied blankly.

He put Naruto in a bad mood. “So why’s he working there then?” He didn’t know why he was asking, maybe he hoped Naruto would go back to smiling.

“He’s just trying to make a living like the rest of us.” Naruto shrugged again. “He’s got bad luck but who doesn’t, it paid good no questions asked and Jiraiya don’t care about pasts.”

Sasuke looked at the cracked sidewalk. “So why?”

Naruto sighed. "Look he’s kinda girly looking isn't he? It's cuz he was sheltered as a child and abused by his dad because he looked like his mom who died, when he was 16 he met Jiraiya by chance when he ran away, even though he was a kid Jiraiya offered him a job and a place to live and that’s his story.”

Sasuke looked at Naruto but couldn’t see his face. “What about you?”

“What about me?”

“You got a story?” Sasuke looked away as he asked, trying to tell himself he didn’t care.

“Na, its not all sad and heartbreaking just an orphaned street punk. When I was 18 I got in a fight in the parking lot of the club, Jir said I was pretty strong gave me a job, that’s all there is to it.” Naruto smiled.

“Since your so talkative what's your story Sasuke?” Naruto turned walking backwards as he waited, the frown on Sasuke’s face.

Sasuke should have figured Naruto would ask, it was his own fault for asking in the first place, when he shouldn’t care. “So Jir just takes in a bunch of broken people, he trying to be a good guy running a strip joint?” Sasuke asked trying to change the subject.

Naruto frowned again. “Think whatcha want, it’s not the best business to own but you work there dontcha? Sides’ he’s not a bad guy he’s not a good guy either butcha know what he didn’t have to give Haku a place, he didn’t have to give me a job or you.”

Sasuke didn’t say anything as Naruto turned back around both males continuing home in silence.

…

Sasuke glared as he laid on the squeaky bed, while Naruto took his shower he was tempted to put the mattress on the floor and sleep but he didn’t want to move.

He didn’t like this thing he really should just put it on the floor or make Naruto sleep on it. Sasuke smirked now there was an idea worth getting out of bed for he rolled off the bed ignoring the squeaking as he moved to Naruto’s bed maybe he shouldn’t. After all Naruto brought him into his home, however he needed more sleep…

Sasuke walked down the hall way looking for his brother he opened door after door but no one was there, he finally made his way down the stair case where a group of men were smiling at him. “Sasuke-kun you’ll be coming with us.”

Sasuke took a step back up the stairs. "No!”

“Sasuke.” Sasuke’s eyes snapped open he brought a hand up gripping his forehead his hazy eyes noticed Naruto hovering over him. “Hey ya were having a nightmare.”

Sasuke didn’t say anything his mind still coming into focus, why was he dreaming about that day? Naruto sighed Sasuke looked vulnerable there for a moment it was something he thought was impossible for the male. He shook his head he wouldn’t ask right now he laid down over the covers pulling Sasuke closer causing the others eyes to widened. “What the hell are you doing?” Sasuke didn’t pull away even with his words, he didn’t like it, not how comforting Naruto’s arms were. Or how at ease he felt in his arms, even though he told himself he wouldn’t, besides they weren’t even like that.

“Just go to sleep.” Naruto tightened his grip around Sasuke not allowing the male the chance to move.

Sasuke furrowed his brows he was over thinking? He didn’t know it felt warm though, he liked it. “Damn it you're annoying.” Sasuke only got a grunt as a response, with a sigh he closed his eyes drifting back off.
