Let me explain why i am doing this whole 'in progress' upload though. this story is going to be 2 stories actually 1st takes place in high school and the 2nd is in college. The chapters in this story are starting to get REALLY long. SO... if i waited to upload this story when it is finished it woul dbe in like a month or something and i woul dhate for my loyal readers and reviewers to have to wait that long. so that explains why i'm doing this like this. but don't worry i plan on uploading 2 chapters about every 2-3 days. if it goes longer than that you can write me an angry message and i'll get back on the whole uploading thing...

DISCLAIMER: seriously, guys, i don't own naruto... just borrowing for a bit and i have every intention of returning Naruto and Sasuke to their rightful owner when I'm done... shifty eyes

They met in high school. Konohagakure Academy of the Arts, a rich boarding school for the 'gifted'. You couldn't get in without an invitation so if you were invited, you went. Sasuke got an invitation before he was even old enough to attend. Hell, he got the invitation before he was even born. His parents were alumni to the school and frequently gave generous donations in order to affirm their children's place in the school. When he graduated from eighth grade his mother took him out shopping and they spent all summer getting him ready to move in.

Sasuke sighed as he looked at the gigantic main building. The building looked somewhat like a castle, maybe slightly smaller. It was much too big for a school this small. It didn't even have anything very useful in it either. Just offices for the administration and teachers. Registration was in the main lobby of the third floor. This again didn't make much sense to Sasuke. Why did every floor need a main lobby and two smaller lobbies? Then again, it really wasn't Sasuke's place to question. He sighed and tightened the strap on his messenger bag and griped the handle of his violin case before opening the front doors and making his way to the third floor.

There weren't many students there, of course it could be because Sasuke was insanely early. His father had woken them up at five in the morning so that they could get to the school by seven when registration opened. He had always said better to be early than to make them wait. But being that he was an Uchiha, they probably would have waited. Sasuke had stood outside the main building for about twenty minutes just so that he wasn't the first one to register. He stepped up to the table where a small woman with short black hair sat.

"Good morning." She smiled warmly at him.

"Hn." Sasuke answered.

"What's your name?" She asked pulling out a folder. There were only supposed to be about seventy kids in his class and by the list Sasuke could see in the folder it was even less than that.

"Uchiha Sasuke." Sasuke answered. The woman smiled.

"Welcome to Konohagakure, Uchiha-san." She smiled marking his name in the folder and pulling out a navy folder before handing it to Sasuke. "This is your folder. You have a copy of the dorm rules and also the school rules. Your class schedule is also in there. You also have a school map. There are two forms in there on light green paper that you need to read over and sign then turn them into your RA." She said.

"Hn." Sasuke sighed.

"Here is your room key. You are in building 3 room 342. Your roommate is," She started but Sasuke stopped listening at the mention of a roommate. Sasuke didn't like people... at all. Having a roommate was unacceptable.

"Are there any single rooms?" Sasuke asked.

"What?" The woman asked slightly confused by his question. You see, she had already started talking about the cafeteria and was confused at what offering vegan meals had to do with single rooms.

"I had requested to have a single room but you mentioned having a roommate. I would like to be put into a single room." Sasuke said.

"I'm sorry, Uchiha-san. There are no single rooms available at the time. Perhaps if you could wait a month or so, one might open up." The woman said politely.

"Very well. But please notify me as soon as one opens." Sasuke said. The woman nodded. "Is there anything else?" Sasuke asked in a bored tone. The woman shook her head. "Good. Thank you." Sasuke bowed and walked away. He scowled his entire walk to building 3, upset about being forced to share his living space with another human being. Building 3 was one of the nicer dormitories. Building 1 was the nicest but it was reserved for seniors only. The other three buildings weren't bad, just not as good. Sasuke made his way up to his room to find all of his things already unloaded and put away.

"Sasuke, dear, there you are." His mother smiled looking into the room.

"I have to share a room." Sasuke said calmly but there was an obvious underlying tone of anger. His mother frowned.

"I'm sorry, darling. But maybe you'll get a nice roommate and you two will become friends." She said encouragingly.

"Tsk. I don't need any friends, mother. I'd rather have just stayed home with my old friends but I'm coming here to please you and father." Sasuke said.

"Your old friends? Wasn't Neji your only friend?" Itachi asked walking into the room. Sasuke scowled.

"Shut up, Itachi." Sasuke told him. His brother smirked and leaned against the wall. His father entered shortly after.

"Well, we're leaving now." He said. Sasuke nodded. "Have a god year, son. Make us proud." He said putting a hand on Sasuke's shoulder.

"Yes sir." Sasuke nodded. Itachi said nothing as he left followed by their father.

"Bye, sweetie, don't forget to write." His mother smiled and kissed him. Sasuke grunted in reply and then they were gone. Sasuke huffed and laid down on his bed, glaring at the ceiling until he fell asleep. He was awoken when the lights flipped on. Florescent lights burned Sasuke's retinas and he quickly turned to glare at whoever had flipped them on.

"Oh, damn, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were here." A blonde boy laughed and scratched his cheek nervously. Sasuke looked over at the clock on his desk to see that it was almost noon. The boy dragged a large army trunk and then a few bags into the room before throwing them all onto his bed. The bed made a terrible groaning sound as it sagged under the weight of the trunk. "I'm Uzumaki Naruto, by the way." He smiled. Sasuke rolled his eyes and sat up to glare at the loud boy. Naruto just laughed. "Ah, so you're one of the silent brooding types then. I bet you're a musician." Naruto rolled his eyes ad he unlatched the top of the trunk and flipped it open.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Sasuke growled.

"Because all musicians are silent and broody." Naruto smirked. "What's that? A violin case?" He asked nodding to the case on Sasuke's desk. Sasuke's eyes flicked to the case.

"What if it is?" Sasuke asked looking back at Naruto.

"Hmm, I would have pegged you for a pianist. Most of the pianists I've met here are dark and mysterious. Violinists are more vindictive. We'll see how you turn out then, won't we?" He smiled as he started unpacking the trunk. Sasuke glared at the back of the boy's obnoxiously bright head. Somehow this kid had made it on Sasuke's 'death list' in less than five minutes of knowing each other.

"Think you're so smart. What instrument do you play then?" Sasuke bit out. Naruto laughed and looked up at Sasuke, his eyes were sparkling slightly.

"Me? I play drums but not for the school. I play in my band I have with my friends." Naruto said.

"Drumming? How fitting. Obnoxious and blunt. Attention seekers I think." Sasuke scoffed. Naruto shrugged, it wasn't like he was going to deny it. Naruto knew that was the reason he liked to play drums: to be as loud as he wanted and get praised for it. "So if you're not here for music, what are you here for?"

"Who says I'm here for a reason?" Naruto smirked at Sasuke while closing his trunk and placing it on the floor at the foot of his bed.

"This is a school for the gifted, you have to have some sort of talent other than making people nauseous with that ridiculous orange outfit." Sasuke said. Naruto let out a small snort.

"You know most places the 'gifted' class is really the class for kids who can't learn as quickly or as easily." Naruto said turning to unpack one of his bags. "From what I've seen here this place is full of nothing but spoiled rich kids with bad attitudes whose parents didn't take the time to raise properly so now are shipping them off because they can't handle it anymore."

"You say that like you don't go here." Sasuke said. Naruto shrugged.

"Maybe I don't associate myself with the people who go here so I don't feel like I need to include myself when talking about the school." Naruto said. He tossed the empty bags onto the floor in his closet and sat on his bed. Sasuke scowled at the boy. This boy had no right to judge him. Naruto's phone rang and Sasuke scowled. Of course this kid would have an annoying ring tone to go with his annoying personality. "Hello?" Naruto answered the phone. "Yeah, I'm here." He said. He sighed heavily. "Fine, on my way." He said. He hung up his phone and stood up. "I have to go, don't know when I'll be back." Naruto mumbled grabbing his keys and leaving the room without looking back. Sasuke sighed thankful for his departure. He was getting a headache just looking at the insufferable boy.

"What the hell is an idiot like him doing here anyway?" Sasuke growled and then saw the bright orange folder on Naruto's desk. "We'll just see then, shall we?" Sasuke asked himself while walking over to the desk and picking up the folder. Naruto's folder was different form Sasuke's though. There were the rules of the school and the dorm with some specifically highlighted but there were also rules written specifically for Naruto. The two forms that Sasuke had to sign weren't in the packet at all but he had figured that Naruto had already turned them in. There was no map of the campus in the folder and no sign that there had been; Sasuke's had been stapled to the inside and Naruto's folder had no staple or no holes where a staple would be. But it was Naruto's schedule that caught Sasuke's attention.

Monday, Wednesday, Friday

7:00 am - Office Hours

9:00 am - Controversial Literature

10:00 am - World History II

11:00 am - Advanced Pre-Calculus

12:00 pm - Creative Writing III

1:00 pm - Office Hours

3:00 pm - Orchestra Rehearsal (sit in)

5:00 pm - Choir Rehearsal (sit in)

7:00 pm - Office Hours

The boy was taking 4 third year classes. Sasuke didn't even know what 'sit in' meant and also didn't know what 'office hours' were or why he was assigned for 3 sessions. Sasuke was utterly confused by this. His roommate, the idiot, was taking very advanced classes. Sasuke noticed under the schedule was a hot pink post-it note.

"Please don't mess this up, Naruto."

Sasuke's brow furrowed at the note. Why was Naruto even there? He said he didn't have any talents but he was in these classes. He must have been a really smart kid, but to have a note like that? Sasuke was getting a migraine.

"He gives me a headache without even being here." Sasuke grumbled. He knew his roommate was annoying from the second he stepped into the room. He went back over to his desk and opened the drawer to find his migraine pills. "Thank god mom put them in an easy access spot." Sasuke said grabbing the bottle and shaking a pill out into his hand. Sasuke was easily irritated and got migraines frequently so he always had his pills close by. Reading the label he realized he would need to have some food with the pill and he grumbled. He knew there was no food in his dorm and he would have to go to the cafeteria and be around more irritating people.

Sasuke went into the bathroom, yes in building 3 you got your own bathroom which is one reason why Sasuke got that building... Uchihas don't do community bathrooms. He splashed some water on his face and ran his fingers through his hair before straightening his shirt so that he looked presentable. He grabbed his cup from the counter and filled it with water and took his medicine before heading out of the building. Forgetting his school map he began wandering, looking for the cafeteria. Sasuke wondered why there were so many buildings on the campus when there were only about 400 students total that attended.

"Oi, are you lost?" Sasuke heard a voice he immediately recognized. He felt relief and a bit of happiness wash over him, although on the outside he looked completely indifferent. He turned to look at his childhood friend. "Uchiha, Sasuke." Neji smirked.

"Neji, what the hell are you doing here?" Sasuke asked.

"What? You don't think you're the only child genius from our junior high?" Neji asked. Neji, was a closet cello player. No one except Sasuke had known even though he was an amazingly gifted musician. Sasuke's lip twitched in what would have translated into a gigantic smile for a normal person.

"Well, I'm glad there is at least one decent person at this damn school." Sasuke said. Neji let out a tiny laugh. Neji was almost as reserved as Sasuke but allowed himself to show slight emotion. "Have you met your roommate?" Sasuke asked. Neji gulped slightly and nodded. "What?"

"Gaara." Neji said looking at the ground.

"Oh shit, that guy is gonna kill you in your sleep you know." Sasuke said slightly amused. Neji sighed.

"What about you? Have you met your roommate?" Neji asked. Sasuke grimaced.

"Yeah, and if Gaara is going to kill you in your sleep, I'm totally going to be killing my roommate in his sleep." Sasuke growled.

"That bad huh?" Neji asked. Sasuke's eye twitched. "Is that why you were out here wandering around in circles?"

"Circles? What? Is that why there seemed to be so many buildings?" Sasuke asked looking around. Neji let out another small laugh. "I was trying to find the freaking cafeteria."

"It's this way." Neji said motioning for Sasuke to follow him. "Did you even look at your map?" Neji asked. Sasuke shook his head. "You realize tha cafeteria is just down the road from the dorms, right?"

"Damn it, this stupid migraine." Sasuke grumbled as they walked.

"Come on, let's get some food." Neji said as they walked into the cafeteria. The cafeteria was loud and crowded. The line to get food wasn't too bad, but finding the seat was the difficult part. They saw an open table and sat down. "So, what classes do you have?" Neji asked.

"Hn, just the basic stuff." Sasuke said. "Hey, is it possible for first years to take third year classes?" Sasuke asked.

"You're not thinking of taking third year classes are you?" Neji asked looking at him. Sasuke shook his head as his brows furrowed.

"My roommate is taking four third year classes." Sasuke said.

"Wow." Neji sighed.

"But he's an idiot. It doesn't make any sense." Sasuke said. Neji shrugged. "Hey, do you know what it means when it says 'sit in' on your schedule?"

"You have a 'sit in' on something?" Neji asked. Sasuke shook his head. "Roommate again, huh?" Sasuke nodded. Neji smirked. "Are you stalking him already, Sasuke?"

"Shut up, Neji. I just looked at his schedule to see why an idiot like him could get into this school. It said 'orchestra rehearsal sit in' and 'choir rehearsal sit in.' do you know what that is?" Sasuke asked. Neji shook his head.

"Sorry I don't know what that is." Neji said. Sasuke shrugged. Suddenly the doors burst open and the cafeteria got quiet.

"Oh god." Sasuke groaned when he saw the blonde boy walking into the cafeteria with a stupid grin on his face.

"What?" Neji asked.

"That's my roommate." Sasuke sighed. Neji observed the beaming blonde. Naruto walked into the cafeteria like he owned the place, and from the reaction from most of the other occupants of the cafeteria he seemed to have. Naruto smiled and walked up to the front of the food line.

"Ah, Uzumaki-san, right on time I just finished preparing your meal." One of the chefs said handing Naruto a steaming bowl of what appeared to be ramen.

"Thanks, old man, you're the greatest." Naruto smiled before looking into the seating area.

"Naruto!" One of the fourth years called waving him over. Naruto smiled and nodded his head at them. He crossed the cafeteria greeting people as he went and then sat down at the table and started talking excitedly with the other occupants of the table. Sasuke and Neji stared slightly in shock.

"He seems popular." Neji said awkwardly. Sasuke scowled at him.

"No first year could ever be that popular. He's sitting with fourth years for kami's sake." Sasuke pointed out.

"Maybe he's actually not a first year." Neji suggested.

"He is, I saw his papers in his folder and he's a first year." Sasuke said.

"I don't know. He looks nice though." Neji said.

"Are you kidding? He's loud and obnoxious. You know how much I hate loud and obnoxious." Sasuke growled. Neji smirked.

"Maybe we can trade roommates then?" Neji asked. Sasuke looked at him. "You take the insomniac psychopath and I'll take the hot blonde." Sasuke snorted.

"If you really met him you wouldn't say that." Sasuke told him. Neji stared at the blonde boy for a minute or so before Sasuke started snapping in front of his face. "Oi! Neji, blink." Neji blinked a few times and looked over at a glaring Sasuke.

"What?" Neji asked innocently.

"Stop fantasizing." Sasuke growled at him.

"Why? You want him all for yourself?" Neji smirked.

"No, but if you end up dating my roommate it would be gross." Sasuke told him. Neji smirked with amusement. "Well, I'm done. I'm going to head back to my room."

"Cool, call me and we can meet up for dinner. Unfortunately you're the only person I know right now so you're going to have to suffer through being in contact with other humans for at least a little while." Neji said.

"Hn." Sasuke said and walked off.

"Oi!" An obnoxious voice called across the cafeteria as Sasuke was nearing the entrance. The cafeteria immediately got quiet and Sasuke felt everyone looking at him. He knew that the voice had called out to him. "Oi, Sasuke wait up." Naruto called. Sasuke froze but didn't look back. He heard a chair sliding and then a few good-byes as feet hit the ground. "Hey." Naruto smiled at him.

"Hn." Sasuke raised an eyebrow and pushed through the exit. Naruto followed right beside him.

"Are you on your way back to the room?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah. You want to walk with me?" Sasuke asked out of rehearsed politeness rather than actual politeness. Uchihas were always courteous in formal situations.

"Sure." Naruto smiled. Sasuke found himself staring at the smile before quickly forcing himself to look forward. "So, I'm surprised to see you actually out among people." Naruto said looking at Sasuke.

"Hn." Sasuke answered.

"Who was that guy you were with? Boyfriend?" Naruto asked. Sasuke scowled. Yes, he was gay, but he didn't like people making assumptions about him.

"What makes you think I'm gay?" Sasuke asked.

"Because you're too pretty not to be." Naruto smirked and winked at him.

"He's my best friend." Sasuke growled.

"Aw, don't get mad at me because I figured you out so easily." Naruto smiled. "I was right about the piano player too, wasn't I?" He asked.

"Yeah." Sasuke nodded. Naruto smiled triumphantly. "You think you have me all figured out, don't you?"

"Trust me, Sasuke, I've met enough bastards like you to read you like a book." Naruto smiled. Sasuke frowned.

"Now all I have to do is figured you out." Sasuke said. Naruto laughed.

"Good luck with that one, Bastard." Naruto smiled and skipped towards building 3. Sasuke narrowed his eyes at the blonde. How dare he have the audacity to call him such a name.

"What the hell did you call me?" Sasuke growled angrily.

"You heard me." Naruto smirked at him. Sasuke forced himself to stay in control rather than pound the idiot into the ground and then strangle him to death. Sasuke growled and followed after Naruto.

"Dobe." Sasuke muttered. They made it back to their room and Sasuke collapsed on his bed. Naruto sat at his desk and leaned back in his chair.

"So, what kind of stuff do you like? I mean if we're going to be roommates we should kind of get to know each other." Naruto said.

"Hn." Sasuke rolled his eyes and glared at the ceiling. He really didn't care. He was still hoping for a single to open up so he can get away from the insufferable boy.

"Fine, I'll tell you everything that I like. I love ramen, it's probably my favorite thing in the world. I like foxes a lot. My granny always told me that I was a fox and people would give me fox stuff for presents and stuff so I started to like them a lot." He paused to think. "I really like martial arts because it's really fun and helps keep my girlish figure." He said with a smirk. Sasuke looked over.

"I like martial arts too." Sasuke said.

"See, that's something we have in common." Naruto smiled. He then thought some more. "I don't like the meditation stuff that some sensei's teach. I'm not big on quiet, it freaks me out too much."

"I like the quiet." Sasuke told him hoping that Naruto would catch the hint. Even though Sasuke was listening, he really didn't want to and would rather have just laid there in peace.

"Sorry, I always need at least a little noise, you're gonna have to get use to that. I um, really like classical music which might sound strange coming from a drummer of a rock band. I don't know I think it tells a better story than most music." Naruto said.

"What?" Sasuke asked looking over at Naruto.

"I mean all songs tell as story but most songs now-a-days have a set message because of the lyrics and all that. But classical music with the whole symphony and all that stuff, you can't not be moved by it. But then the message is always up for the interpretation to the listener. I think it's beautiful. But aside from classical music I love playing in my band. I mean I don't want to brag, but we totally kick ass." Naruto smiled. Sasuke nodded. When describing classical music, Naruto sounded so passionate about it.

"Did you ever play classical?" Sasuke asked. Naruto shook his head.

"My mom played harp. I remember listening to her concerts as a kid." Naruto said somewhat sadly.

"You don't any more?" Sasuke asked.

"No, Mom died when I was six." Naruto said.

"Sorry." Sasuke said softly.

"Tsk, it was eight years ago. It's not like I can change it." Naruto shrugged.

"What about your dad?" Sasuke asked hesitantly.

"Died four years ago. He got sick and never got better." Naruto frowned.

"Then who sent you here?" Sasuke asked.

"Are you here for music?" Naruto asked changing the subject.

"Yeah. My parents seem to think I'm a musical genius." Sasuke said.

"Are you in the Orchestra?" Naruto asked. Sasuke nodded and Naruto smiled. Sasuke was really tempted to ask Naruto about his schedule but didn't want Naruto to know he looked through his stuff.

"Hey, how did you know those fourth years?" Sasuke asked suddenly.

"What?" Naruto asked.

"When you were in the cafeteria today, everyone seemed to know you and you even sat at the table with the fourth years." Sasuke said.

"Oh, yeah. People know me around here." Naruto said.

"How?" Sasuke asked. Naruto frowned. "Nah, never mind, it's not that important." Sasuke said seeing Naruto's frown. Naruto looked over at him silently thanking him for not pressing the matter. It's not that Naruto really wanted to keep it a secret but he just didn't want people to start treating him differently. Suddenly Sasuke jumped off his bed a little.

"What?" Naruto asked.

"Sorry, my phone started vibrating and tickled." Sasuke said. Naruto laughed. Sasuke looked at his phone, it was Neji. "Hello?" Sasuke answered. He looked over at his clock surprised to see that it was already five. "Uh, yeah sure. Building 3." Sasuke said. "Okay, bye." He hung up.

"Got a date?" Naruto smiled. Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"It's Neji, my best friend. I'm the only person he knows around here so he wants to have dinner." Sasuke said.

"Sounds like a date to me." Naruto laughed. Sasuke scowled as he put on his shoes. "He was cute too, you know?" Naruto called as Sasuke left the room. Sasuke had a glare on all through dinner and by the time he got back in his room to glare at the one person he really wanted to glare at, he was already asleep.

"Dobe." Sasuke growled.
