People say that music was a way to express your deepest feelings. Naruto Uzumaki had been writing down lyrics like mad ever since the group had graduated from high school in hopes that the person he loves would hear his heart.

He heard the door to the bedroom open and he shut his eyes, pretending to be asleep. He knew Itachi would come to make sure he was ok.

“Naru??”

the raven sigh, he knew the blond was faking that he was sleeping. Itachi was insulted, he had slept in the same bed as the blond many times before and knew when his blond was sleeping or not. Pretending that he was leaving, he opened and closed the door.

At hearing the door open and closed, blue eyes opened thinking that his lover had left. He gasped when he saw crimson eyes staring at him.

“Ass.”

“Yes, you do have a very nice one.”

blushing he turned away and noticed that his notebook was still out. He grabbed it and put it underneath his pillow, hoping that Itachi didn't ask about it.

He felt the bed shift and he turn his head, coming face to face with his smirking lover. Itachi stared into those beautiful blue eyes he had fallen in love the moment he met the blond. Never in his life would he had thought that he, Uchiha Itachi would had fallen in love with the loudest person in the world, Uzumaki Naruto.

It's not that the blond is bad to stare at. Actually, if not for his loud mouth, the blond would be the hottest thing on earth. His long blond hair made most of the female population wonder how he got it to be so beautiful and healthy. His face was flawless. There was hardly any need for the makeup most musician applied to hide away scars and such things. His lips were desirable. And his body...

“Itachi?”

Crimson eyes look into azure ones. Noticing how that blush was still there, smirking, he leaned forward and captured those lips in a kiss

Closing his eyes, Naruto responded back, throwing his arms around his lover. No matter how many times Itachi kissed him, he would always turn into mush. This man knew how to kiss and how to touch someone very well. The blond wondered if all Uchihas were born perfect.

Itachi let his tongue explore that mouth that he was addicted to. Shifting himself on the bed he smirk as he now had the blond whimpering under him. God, the beauty sure was responsive and that was just a kiss.

“I love you, my Angel.”

azure eyes widened. Those words had been said to him before with the same amount of love that were being reflected in those red eyes.

Flashback

A blushing blond was looking up at his lover as the people around them cheer and wish them luck. Sasuke just shook his head and smile down at the blond.

He had been lucky when the blond had accepted to be his and today was a day he would never forget. Their friends were just feets away from them smiling and wishing them luck in their relationship.

He gently touch the tan cheek and smile when the blush on his lover's cheek deepened. Kissing him lightly on the forehead he looked into loving pools of blue.

“I love you, my Angel.”


End of Flashback

“Naru?”

Naruto look up at worried crimson eyes and mentally smack himself. What was he doing thinking about the past when one of the hottest men on the earth was kissing and touching him.

Smiling, he undid Itachi hair tie and watched as beautiful long black hair fell over strong shoulders. Itachi was a very deadly man and just the mention of his name on the streets scared most people. Slowly, he started unbuttoning the dress shirt the raven was wearing and once again was mesmerize as pale skin was revealed to him.

Itachi watched the frown that now adored the beautiful face of his lover and wondered what he was thinking about. He felt trembling fingers on one of his newest scars.

“Itachi??”

Grabbing the tan hand he kissed it and look at worried blue eyes. How he wish he could erase emotions. He hated it when he worried the blond.

“It's nothing. Please don't worry.”

Naruto just nodded and continue caressing the firm chest.

“Itachi... There is something I wish for you to listen to.”

Itachi sigh and smile down at his angel, nodding as he watched Naruto pulled the notebook from underneath the pillow. The blond was far too feminine. The raven swears that the kid was supposed to be born a woman.

“Ok, let me know what you think...”

Itachi smile, the blond look so hopeful, like what he was about to sing was his life.

:Time has erase everything in my heart
Every memory that the lack of affection left behind
My wings grow from the root
Because I blindly believe in you

There is nothing that can conquer me
Because I have your touch imprinted on my skin
You are filling me with light
Slowly fading the dark:

Itachi couldn't take his eyes off his angel. For some reason, hearing this song hurt him. It's like the blond was singing for someone else, begging them to come back to him with his voice.

:Another day that goes by
To recommence
To love once again
Another day that goes by
To dream
That soon, my past will never reach me:

Naruto opened his eyes and look at his lover, bitting his lips and waiting for him to say something. He wondered if the song had been that bad that Itachi was now thinking up something to tell him.

“It was good. Who did you wrote it for?”

he shook his head, telling his lover that he had just wrote it because they needed new songs and such things. Itachi just nodded, getting up and walking up to the blond. Putting his arms around the slim waist he picked the blond up and smile when he felt legs go around his wist and hold onto him.

“I won't let you fall, love.”

“I know.”


XXXX

The long hair brunette was drunk and he knew it. Shaking his head, Shikamaru picked him up bridal style and carry him inside. He raise a delicate eyebrow when he felt Neji snuggled up to him.

“Hyuuga, wake up!”

he was ignored. He gently lay the man on his bed and look down at him. He would be lying if he said that Neji wasn't attractive and right now he look fuckable. His hair was stuck to his face due to the hot weather outside and the tight clothes show off the perfectly the curved body the Hyuuga possessed.

He leaned down and gently kiss the brunette on the lips. The next day the Hyuuga would have a killer headache. Smiling he exit the room an went to his living room.

White-violet eyes opened and a small smile graced the feminine face. He wasn't that drunk but that was the only way that Shika would let him into his house. Closing his eyes he decided that he could go to sleep.


Hours Later

Shikamaru groan as he heard his doorbell again. Dammit, what was it with people coming to his place. He got up and went to open the door, intent on telling the person on the other side what the fuck to go do.

Slamming the door open he was kind of shock to see Sasuke standing there with a mean look in his dark eyes.

“Uchiha?”

“I need a place to stay.”

“Why? Did Itachi kicked you out for the little prank you pulled on stage yesterday?”

Sasuke shook his head and walked in, not caring that Shikamaru was sending him an evil look. He knew that the Naru and Hyuuga were mad at him for what he did to the blond but truthfully, he didn't care.

“No. he has Naruto over. He said something about not wanting the dobe to stay alone in his place.”

“Whatever.”

Shikamaru said as he went to sit back on his couch and get warm under the blankets.

Sasuke blinked. He knew Shikamaru well and knew something was off. Why would the Nara be in the living room watching TV when he had a 60 inch plasma TV install in his bedroom where his comfy bed was.

“Why you in the living room?”

“Bed is occupied.”

Curious, Sasuke was about to start walking towards the main bedroom when Shikamaru's voice stop him

“Stop being nosy Uchiha.”

“how can I not? I want to see the person that kick off Nara Shikamaru off his bed and wasn't hearing a mouthful.”

Shikamaru growled and mumbled something, making Sasuke's smirk widened even more. Oh, whoever was in there deserved the Uchiha's respect.

“What was that?”

“it's Neji.”

Sasuke stayed quiet and just smirk. For such a genius, the Nara wasn't so bright on love.

“Haku called. He said everything in the states was great and he can't wait till we go there to visit him. He got a new boyfriend. Name's Kiba or something like that.”

Sasuke just nodded and continue standing there, wondering if he should go to the kitchen and get something to eat or just go to the room he had claimed as his every time he comes to visit.

“When are you going to talk to him?”

“I don't know. Haku is the only thing keeping some of us together...”

“It's sad.... how things have turned out. Not long ago you and Nar-”

“Shut up!”

Shikamaru sighed and turned the TV off, turning to look the the now pissed off Uchiha. Things have gone this way far too long and truthfully he was getting sick and tire of it.

“Uchiha... I'm not a genius for nothing. Whatever happened it's in the past now. Your attitude is now killing what we made out of friendship. The only thing keeping us together is that small promise we made a long time ago.”

Dark eyes narrowed

“Nara, mind your own business and stay out of mine.”

before he knew what he was doing, Shikamaru was already on top of the Uchiha, punching him for all he worth. He would've keep going if pale arms hadn't stopped him. Turning angry eyes towards the person that had stopped him he was shocked at seeing Neji holding his arm as though it was his life line. He calmed down when he felt something wet on his skin.

Shit, he's crying

shaking his head he got off Sasuke and grabbed the Hyuuga, pushing the crying boy into his embrace. Neji stiffen in his arms he he wouldn't blame him. Years of keeping the boy at arm's length from him and now he was hugging him and comforting him.

He look up when he saw Sasuke getting up, ready to go at him even if it meant he had to go through Neji. Pushing the Hyuuga behind him, Shikamaru got ready for anything that the raven would do.

Pushing from behind Shikamaru, Neji jumped on Sasuke, arms going around his neck and holding him still, Neji cried onto his shoulder, hoping that the two boys would stop fighting already.

“Please Sasu... please stop....please...no more...”

tightly closing his eyes, Sasuke held Neji to his form. How long ago has it been since he held the long haired brunette like this, caring for him and crying?

Shikamaru looked away. He would never say it out loud, but fuck, seeing the two of them like that made him fucking jealous. They were holding each other so intimately that they could be confuse for two lost lovers that just found their way to each other.

He hated that feeling and he wanted to keep away from it or he knew he would hurt Neji beyond repair.


XXXX


Everything that happened the day before was forgotten as the band stood before the crowd of people screaming their names.

The feeling was great and they wouldn't trade it for nothing.

The smile that was on Naruto's face put the sun to shame, for the first time Kakashi noticed the air of understanding that was surrounding the band. The songs sounded great as they were all playing from their heart.

“They're good.”

Kakashi turned and smile at the person that was standing next to him. The guys would be happy to see him.

“What took you so long to get here, Haku?”

the girly boy turn to the band's manager and smile, turning and looking at the four people standing behind him.

“They kept me. Kakashi I would love for you to meet my friends... The red hair is Rath, the blond with the orange tip is Thatz and the brown haired boy is Kiba, my boyfriend.”

At hearing boyfriend, Kakashi got serious. One of his little boys was dating and he's just hearing about it now. He didn't like that and he knew neither would Iruka. Looking the boy up and down, he didn't like what he saw. The boy look shabby. Like he had no manners.

Extending his hand towards the boy, he smirk when he shook the boys hand a little tighter than he intended for.

“I'm Kakashi. Haku's father.”

he heard the boy 'eep' and watched as he stand up straight and smile shakily at him.

“Hello sir I'm-”

“Haku!!!!!”

a flash or blond ran past them and tackle their friend, sending both of them to the floor. Kiba was wondering if he should be helping his boyfriend but let it slide as he heard Haku laughing.

Looking down, Kiba realize that the lead singer of Crimson was talking and tickling his boyfriend. He was about to do something when the rest of the band.

Letting Haku up, Naruto turn to the others and his smile fell a bit at seeing Sasuke smiling. A real smile. Not the fake ones he put on for the cameras and shit. A real smile and Haku was the reason for it. He was a bit jealous, but he'll thank anyone that would put a smile on his prince's face.

“Sasu-kun!!”

running to his friend Haku was the one to do the tackling this time. Sasuke's smile widened as he hug the boy back. How long has it been since he saw this happy-go-lucky-kid?? Too long for his taste. Kissing him on top of the forehead, he smile down into beautiful chocolate brown orbs.

“I've missed you, bunny.”

Blushing at his childhood nickname, Haku moved to hug Neji and Shikamaru.

“Rath, Thatz, Kiba... I would like for you to meet my family...well, there's someone missing but you'd meet him later.”

he said smiling. He didn't miss how the four boy were keeping their distance from each other, especially Naruto and Sasuke. He'd have to talk to them later.

But for now, he just wanted to catch up. He was about to say something when he saw the last person he wanted to see. What was Uchiha Itachi doing here? His smile turned into a frowned when he saw Naruto turn around and walked up to the dark haired raven and kiss him!!!
