Everybody Does It

Author's Note: This is a YAOI story. In this case that means a male x male x male pairing. I got a few requests for a Sasuke x Gaara x Naruto pairing and decided to grant it. It will also take place in modern times in a college setting and will feature scenes from all their perspectives in a third person style. If any of that bothers you, you might want to turn back now. For those of you still here, I hope you enjoy the story and reviews are always appreciated.

Chapter 1

Beautiful. The campus certainly was beautiful, Gaara muses to himself. Konoha University was large and surrounded by a handsome pine forest. He could see a deep blue lake in the distance, if he looked hard enough as well. The campus was so massive that it almost looked like a city hidden within the leaves. Though in reality, the city was likely a twenty minute drive away.

"Hey, Gaara! It's so good to see you!" He hears a voice call out as he made his way towards his dorm.

His dorm that he would share with his brother. Gaara had two siblings and he was the youngest of the three. His sister, Temari, was the eldest and Kankuro was the middle child.

"Thanks. You were right. This place really is beautiful." The red head admits.

Gaara had just transferred from Suna University. He'd completed his undergraduate work there and was doing his graduate studies at Konoha. Their political science program was said to be second to none. That combined with the fact that his two siblings had attended Konoha had made it rather easy for Gaara to choose which school he wanted to finish out his college career in.

"Yeah and the rooms are pretty badass too!" Kankuro says cheerfully.

Gaara looks around and nods. There were two large King Sized beds, a modest kitchen, living room, and a bathroom. Well if you could call a couch with a coffee table and a tv a living room. The Political Science Nature also noted that Kankuro had drawn a gray curtain between the two beds.

He could only presume this was in an effort to give them both some degree of privacy. It was a gesture that he appreciated. He loved his brother dearly, but he was a natural introvert and Gaara could only assume that even Kankuro treasured his privacy to a degree.

"They're very self-sufficient. As long we ordered delivery, I think we could survive without ever having to leave our rooms, just fine." The younger Sabaku Sibling observes.

"Yeah. I guess that's true! Well you picked a great time come!" The Theater Major says.

His brother was studying Theater and minoring in Cosmetology. The other man wanted to either be an actor of a makeup artist to the stars. It was an unusual choice, but very Kankuro.

"Why? What's happening?" Gaara asks in confusion.

"There's a big party going on in the Rasengan Fraternity tonight. It's open to everyone." He says.

Gaara sighs. He should have known that it would be something like that. The red head wasn't completely naïve. He knew exactly what went on at events like this. Put quite simply, it wasn't his thing.

"On a scale of 1-10, what are you at? One being you'll let this go, if I say that I'd rather unpack instead of going to the party and ten being you're going to drag me there anyway?" The college student asks.

"Oh we're definitely looking at an eleven. This really isn't optional unless you're sick or something. You don't look sick to me though. So you're going. You're new here, Gaara. It'd be a good idea for you to get to know everyone. A party is a great way to do that." Kankuro says.

An eleven. Great. That meant Kankuro would probably pull by him by his hair, if he had to. Resistance was very much futile at this point.

"Alright. I'll go. If I don't like it though, I'll duck out early." The red head replies.

"Deal, but you have to stay for at least a half hour and talk to two people. One of them can't be me by the way." Kankuro states cheerfully.

"Now you're just pushing it. Fine. It's not like a half hour of forced socialization is going to make a big difference." He says with a sigh.

Meanwhile Sasuke was helping to set up for the party. He was with Taka. Taka was their nickname for each other. It meant hawk. Together they could do anything.

Sasuke was the eyes. Nothing got passed him. Suigetsu was the claws. That man had won more schoolyard fights and barroom bawls than anyone else, as far as Sasuke could tell. Karin was the brain and finally Jugo was the heart and wings. Together, they made for one very impressive hawk.

"Think we got enough drinks?" Jugo asks.

"You can never have too much beer!" Suigetsu says as Sasuke makes a disgusted face.

He had been born into a rather wealthy family. Sasuke knew that it was probably snobby, but beer just disgusted him. If he was going to drink soft stuff, it would be champagne. Thank you, you very much.

Champagne, wine, or vodka were his "poisons" of course. Naturally, he didn't indulge in more than a glass or two at a time for the most part. He had heard so many horror stories of what happened to college students who passed out at parties.

"You're lucky that you live in the Frat House. Otherwise, one of us would have to drive you home. We damn sure know that it wouldn't be Karin. So it'd either be me or Jugo." Sasuke lightly chastises the white haired man.

They usually ended up getting rather "creative" drawings etched onto their faces with sharpies. Sasuke Uchiha didn't intend to let such a fate befall him and so he carefully managed his drinking. So far, it had proven to be an effective strategy.

"Yeah. Yeah. Whatever you say, Sassy. You'd probably lecture me. So hopefully, it'd be Jugo. Well at least you wouldn't scream at me like a banshee though. So that'd be something." The violet eyed man says thoughtfully.

"Oh boy." Jugo says with a sigh.

Just as expected, Karin took that bait. Sasuke sighs as he watches his two friends bicker like a married couple again. He wasn't sure if they just genuinely were like cats and dogs or if there was a whole lot of unresolved sexual tension there. Either way, it was funny in small doses and annoying as Hell in large does.

"Are they at it again?" A masculine voice inquires with an amused chuckle.

Sasuke didn't even have to look up to know who it was. It was Naruto. He'd known the man since he was a baby and they had been rivals in well everything ever since. He was confident that even when they were babies, they had competed over stuff. (They just couldn't remember what).

"Yes, they're at it again." Sasuke says as he watches the handsome blonde begin to lay out more food on the tables.

"They really need a marriage counselor." Naruto says.

Sasuke couldn't entirely disagree with that, but apparently Karin and Suigetsu could. Karin was one feisty red head and Suigetsu was well Suigetsu. It was going to be a long day.

"Guys, guys. Please stop fighting. We need to make sure everything is ready for the party tonight." Jugo says.

The youngest Uchiha had to admire the man's ability to play the peacemaker. Really, Sasuke thought Jugo should work for the U.N. or something. Though the gentle giant had other aspirations. He wanted to be a zookeeper or a biologist, after graduation.

"Fine. Whatever. Sasuke, will you kick this guy's ass later? Can you believe he said that about Karin and me?" The Oceanography Major demands.

"Oh trust me. I've kicked his ass plenty of times." Sasuke says with a smirk.

It was true, of course. The Uchiha just didn't feel like mentioning the fact that Naruto had kicked his ass just as many times. They were forever locked in a stalemate. The blonde was the only person besides Itachi who could truly challenge him.

They were like magnets. Complete opposites in every way and yet attracted to each other. The irritation and admiration were always mixed together so exquisitely that Sasuke could scarcely tell where one emotion began and the other ended. It had always been that way though.

"Pft and I've kicked yours just as many times. So don't act like you're better than me! You're not!" Naruto thunders at him.

"I don't have to act like I'm better than you. I AM better than you." Sasuke says smugly.

"Oh yeah?" The sapphire eyed coed demands.

Sasuke simply nods and walks off. He knew that nothing would annoy the blonde more than that. Starting a fight and then walking off. 3, 2, 1, and SLAM!

"Yeah. For example, I'm smarter than you. I know that you'd follow me. You always do. You just can't not take the bait!" Sasuke taunts him.

"Why do you have to be such a bastard?!" Naruto snarls at him.

Sasuke shivers slightly. He wasn't proud of it, but that snarl wasn't to be taken lightly and they were so close together. He could feel the other man's breath against his skin.

"I can't help it. I guess that I was just born that way. It's like how you're a loser. We're just wired that way." Sasuke retorts.

"Yeah. Maybe you're right about that." The fraternity member concedes.

That might have been the end of it, but someone walked by and bumped them into one another. Their lips touched and things quickly spiraled from there. Both of them acted on instinct and kissed back.

Sasuke had never felt anything like it. It was like wildfire being fanned by a tornado. A tornado of passion. Naruto's lips were warm and rough. He tasted like honey and oranges for some reason and Sasuke liked it. He liked it a lot.

Apparently, Naruto felt the same way because the blonde was quite content to deepen the kiss. Sasuke feels himself moan quietly into it and he wraps his arms around the other college student's neck. Tongues were just starting to be introduced Naruto hears the door begin to open and they break apart quickly.

"You guys going to be okay? You know there's no requirement that you get into a fight at least once a week." Karin asks.

"Y-eah. We're fine." Sasuke says, hating how breathless he sounded.

"You're right. Besides, I can always show him whose boss later and we got a party to plan." Naruto says, apparently content to act like nothing had happened. (Well at least in front of Karin).

A few hours later, Gaara heads into the Frat House. Never in his life, did he think that he would ever so such a thing, Yet here he was, going to a Frat Party. Pigs really did fly, it seemed.

The red head walks by his brother's side and takes in his surroundings. There had to be hundreds of people here. Music was playing loudly in the background. There were drinks and food everywhere and well most of the college students were either dancing, drinking, or otherwise socializing. The party had only started though.

"See? It's not so bad." Kankuro says.

The Political Science Major notes that the Frat House was made of bricks and had a large yard with a pool outside. A pool that some of the students were already making good use of. He couldn't help but wonder how long those bikini tops and swimming trunks would stay on.

"It's not too bad now, but it's only just begun. This Fraternity in particular has a reputation for being pretty wild." He tells his brother.

"Yeah. I can definitely vouch for that! Hey, Kankuro! Gaara! It's so good to see you. Man, I was excited to hear that you were finally going to come to Konoha. It's been forever!" Gaara hears a vaguely familiar voice say.

It was Naruto. He hadn't seen the blonde since middle school, but he would know those sapphire blue eyes any where. Puberty had apparently done wonders for his formerly somewhat scratchy voice and well everything else.

The red head was pretty sure that the blonde now fit the stereotype for the Homecoming King and quarterback. He'd grown well. Really, really well.

"Yes, it has. I should have known that you would be here. You've always been a social butterfly." Gaara observes in amusement.

It surprised him that he had that thought about another man. It didn't disturb Gaara though. Love was love regardless of gender. It was just that he'd never really experienced much of a romantic attraction or even a sexual one to anyone that he knew personally.

That didn't mean that he was asexual though. Like most people, he found a select handful of celebrities rather appealing. That was just the stuff of fantasy though. Nothing to be taken seriously. Naruto was different because he was actually here and not just on a movie screen.

"Yeah! That's me!" Naruto says proudly.

"Alright, Gaara. That's one person. Naruto, make sure he finds a second. I'm gonna go check out the food." Kankuro says as he heads off in search of something to eat.

"What's he talking about?" The blue eyed coed asks.

Gaara sighs. He loved his brother. He really did, but there were times when the college student had thought about strangling him. Though Gaara supposed that was normal for siblings.

"He forcibly dragged me to this event and ordered me to socialize with at least two people who weren't him. You count as well." The Political Science Major explains.

"Ah. That's smart, but pretty sneaky." Naruto says.

Gaara could only nod in agreement. He decides it was probably best just to stick with Naruto. The man was definitely a social animal and his friend. He'd get the red head through this next half hour.

Well technically there were twenty minutes left, but who was counting? Oh that's right. He was.

"So let me introduce you to everyone." Naruto says with a smile as he proceeds to do exactly that.

Really, it was a relief to see Gaara. His middle school friend provided him with an excellent distraction. A distraction from Sasuke. Naruto didn't have any idea what he was going to do about his bastard.

They had always been like oil and water. Sasuke was his opposite and every single conceivable way. Despite that, he'd always been drawn to him like a moth to the flame. Maybe this was the reason.

"Welcome to Konoha!" Kiba says to Gaara.

Naruto saw Gaara nod and smiles. While Sasuke was like fire. Gaara was like a mountain. Very little affected the red head. He was quiet and resolved. That didn't mean he was boring though. The man had a rather dry sense of humor and was like a walking encyclopedia on whatever topics happened to interest him.

Somewhere between middle school and graduate school though, his friend had suddenly gotten hot. It was a different kind of hotness than Sasuke. The bastard had that whole too beautiful to be a man thing going on. (Not as much as Haku, but he digressed). Gaara's attractiveness was more feral.

"Thank you." The red head says with a smile.

The blood red hair and the black markings surrounding his eyes were very animalistic somehow. Like a sexy raccoon. That was a phrase that Naruto had never thought of using before, but it fit perfectly nonetheless.

Surprisingly, Gaara was still there a few hours later. That shocked Naruto because he knew that his friend had been plotting an early escape. What surprised him even more was the fact that the red head had chosen his second person to be Sasuke.

They had been talking for awhile. Most of the stuff went over Naruto's head. Politics and business. Still it was fascinating to watch them discuss topics that he only could half follow, so animatedly.

"There's no way that he can win reelection." Gaara says.

It wasn't that Naruto couldn't understand such things. It just wasn't something that he had much interest in. Well that was until he saw Sasuke and Gaara talking about it. It was like watching two top predators encounter each other in the wild and they were both sizing each other up.

"I don't know. That is one sly bastard. He's pulled the rug out from underneath them before. Granted, I wouldn't trust him to have my back. The man is a survivor though." Sasuke says.

It had been awhile since he had encountered someone who could actually keep up with him in world affairs. Well outside of his family. It didn't hurt that the red head was also gorgeous in a gothic sorta way.

Sasuke knew what he liked and what he didn't. He just wasn't attracted to women and had figured that out early on. While he didn't hide this preference, he didn't exactly make any efforts to advertise it either.

"That's true. Anyone else in his position would have been out years ago." Gaara says.

That's when the kiss flashed across his mind. Sasuke had known for awhile that Naruto was bisexual. He just didn't think that the blonde would be interested in him. They fought almost every time they saw each other.

His kiss had definitely been interested though. Sasuke knew that it was wrong, but he wondered how Gaara kissed. Naruto was a whirlwind of passion. His friend would probably be dark and seductive.

"I can't believe you guys can talk about that stuff when you're half drunk." Naruto says with a grin as he walks over.

"First of all, I'm not half intoxicated. I'm not even a quarter. Secondly, it's a gift." Saskue says smugly.

He was being ridiculous. Sasuke wasn't dating Naruto. He had no reason to feel guilty because he was also checking out the new guy. Now that the two of them were standing side though, the contrast was nothing short of stunning.

Damn it. He was in big trouble. What was he going to say when Naruto was alone? His body was quite eager to continue where they left off, but his mind knew that it would be a bad idea.

"Oh that's right. Uchihas are superhumans. They don't get drunk like us mere mortals. How could I have forgotten that?" Naruto asks sarcastically.

They drove each other crazy. Then again, maybe they had just been in denial. Could it have been sexual tension that caused them to go at it all the time? Maybe.

"Naturally." Sasuke replies dryly.

It was easy to fall into his traditional banter with the blonde. So easy. It was familiar, exciting, and comforting all at once. There was nothing familiar about Gaara though and that was equally exciting in a different way.

"Well why don't we go make good use of the pool before everyone else does?" Gaara suggests.

Sasuke could only smirk in response. It looked like the Political Science Major had a bit of Jugo in him. He was trying to keep the peace. That was adorable really.

He didn't actually think that he and Naruto weren't going to tear into each other, did he? Most of the time, it was just verbally. Though when they did fight, it tended to get very physical and quickly.

"Sounds great!" Naruto says cheerfully as he prances off towards the pool.

Yes. He was actually prancing. It was a nice prance though. Mostly because Naruto had a nice ass. Sasuke might fight like a demon with the blonde, but that didn't mean he couldn't admire a nicely shaped backside.

"He's always enthusiastic. One has to give him that." Gaara muses.

"Yes, that's one way of putting it." Sasuke agrees as he follows the hyper coed.

Gaara wasn't far behind. Sasuke wasn't sure how, but he let down his guard at one point. The conversation had started out as fairly innocent, but it had ended in anything but.

"So Gaara. Do you have a girlfriend or a boyfriend? I mean you never really told me, which you prefer. Hell, for all I know you could be bisexual." Naruto asks.

Sasuke snorts in amusement. The frat boy had no subtly. There was no tact. Naruto was nothing, if not direct.

"No. I'm not seeing anyone." The other man replies honestly.

"Oh well that makes sense. I mean you just got here and long distance relationships can be hard, if there was anyone back in Suna." Naruto observes sagely.

"Though I noticed that you didn't answer the question, Gaara. You don't have to be embarrassed. No one is going to judge you, especially not Naruto. This idiot is very much bisexual as evidence by the fact that he was trying to shove his tongue down my throat earlier." Sasuke says with a smirk.

Sasuke regretted the words the second they flew out of his mouth. Damn it! Why had he said that?!

"He was trying to do what?" Gaara asks in shock.

"Hey! Don't make it sound like I was trying to steal your virtue or something, bastard! We were fighting and someone bumped into us. Our lips kinda connected and well kept connecting." Naruto says, feeling his face heat up.

"So you're dating?" The red head inquires in confusion.

"That's not the point. I'm just saying that if you're gay, you don't have to be embarrassed about it. There's nothing wrong with it. I prefer men as well." Sasuke says.

"Well honestly, I'm not really sure. I'm probably gay or bisexual though." Gaara answers cautiously, not at all sure that he felt comfortable with this line of questioning.

Sasuke shakes his head. He wasn't really sure how a graduate student wouldn't know by now, but he had no problem helping the new guy out. A lot, if he wanted.

"Well this is college. You can experiment a bit. Try it out and see, if you like it. Everybody does it. Almost everyone experiments in college. It's the oldest cliché in the book because it's true." Sasuke tells him.

"Hey, are you hitting on Gaara?!" Naruto demands.

"I'm just stating a fact. What are you jealous?" Sasuke asks with a smirk.

Maybe, there really was something there. The Fraternity Member was certainly acting jealous. Whether Naruto was jealous of Gaara or him, Sasuke wasn't entirely sure. He suspected it might be both though.

He hadn't missed the way the other man's eyes had followed them both throughout the party. Sasuke highly doubted that Naruto had been watching them that intensely out of academic interest in their discussions. No. Naruto was definitely attracted to both of them on some level. That much was obvious.

"What? Of course not! I'm just looking out for my friend!" Naruto protests.

Denial. Well that was one of the stages of acceptance. Sasuke could work with that. He could also work with Gaara. Hmm. Maybe there really was something to that whole the more the merrier saying, after all? This could be fun.
