The weekend finally rolls around and Deidara calls Naruto early in the morning. It's on the third ring that Naruto starts to reach for his phone and answer. At first, he doesn't know who it is, but when he hears the usual tick at the end of the sentences, he recognizes him as Deidara.

"So I'll pick you up at three, yeah?"

"Sure I guess," Naruto mumbles into the phone as he checks the time. "Wait, then why did you wake me up at six in the morning on a Saturday?"

"To fuck up your sleeping schedule, un."

Naruto hears Deidara laugh on the other end and then the call goes dead. Naruto growls as he sits up.

"Bastard."

He rubs the sleep from his eyes and looks at his roommate who is still sleeping peacefully. He grabs some stuff for a shower and exits his dorm. He walks down various hallways, hoping that no one will be in the showers. Usually, someone is in the showers but since it's not a school day and rather the weekend, no one is awake at six in the morning. Relief spreads throughout Naruto's chest as he sees that the showers are empty.

Naruto takes his uninterrupted shower and puts on a grey tank top, black sweats, and some black sneakers. He decides on comfy clothing since he figures he'll be cleaning for the rest of the day.

He exits the showers, still drying his hair. He's dead tired but knows he can't fall back asleep, so instead, he returns to his dorm and to grab his phone and leaves. Naruto scrolls through his contacts while heading to the elevator. He spots flaming red hair and dull brown hair standing by the elevator.

Naruto recognizes Gaara, but not the man next to him. He walks closer and greets his friend.

"Hey, Gaara."

Gaara turns around and raises his hand for a slight wave. The brunette man standing next to Gaara turns as well, looking Naruto up and down.

"Who's this?" The brunette asks while nudging Gaara.

"A friend," he answers smoothly.

The brunette smirks and says, "A friend, friend or just a friend?"

Gaara glares at the man next to him. "A friend, Kankuro."

The man, now known as Kankuro, chuckles. "I was only kidding. What's your name squirt?"

Naruto, who's surprised that he's been addressed, stands up straight. "I'm Naruto Uzumaki, and Gaara and I are just friends."

Kankuro doesn't believe this for one second. He knows his younger brother works fast and doesn't make friends with just anybody. He looks to his brother with a serious stare and Gaara caves.

"He's a virgin, okay?" Gaara confesses. "Not once has my playthings ever been a virgin before. I always get sloppy seconds because of Sasuke. I'm interested, okay?"

Gaara glances at Naruto and rolls his eyes at Naruto's beet-red face, even though Gaara's sporting a similar blush. Kankuro bursts into laughter as the elevator doors open. Gaara looks back at Naruto once again before entering the elevator with his brother, who's still laughing.

"If Sasuke doesn't get to you first, then I will," Gaara states bluntly before the doors close. Naruto stands frozen with red cheeks trying to figure out what just happened.

"Sai's right. Everyone does want my ass."

...

Naruto sits on a neon pink bean bag chair in his best friend's room. He decided that he wanted to go back home and visit Sakura after not seeing her for so long. She cursed him for waking her up at seven-thirty in the morning on a Saturday, but she'll do anything for her best friend and adoptive brother.

She lounges right next to him, scrolling through her social media and asking about his day.

"So, how's this new school going for you?" She asks as she likes one of Ino's photos. Naruto sighs and lets his head fall back.

"It's going, I guess. It seems like every guy either hates my guts or wants to fuck me senseless," he responds dully while playing with his short strands of hair.

"Oh," she coos. "Tell me about the guys that hate you first, then the guys that want you."

"Well, let me start with my old roommate, Neji. He still hates me because he thinks I stole or thinks I'm in the process of stealing, Sasuke away from him. He pushed me recently, spouted the typical verbal abuse and what not," he pauses to sigh. "But Gaara came to save me."

"Gaara, that's the cutie with the red hair isn't it?" Sakura asks and Naruto hums in agreement.

"Yep, and yesterday one of Sasuke's friends threw a tantrum because he's jealous that Sasuke was paying more attention to me than him. Then I realized since Sasuke charmed so many people at our school, those who have had a taste of him all want to kill me, so half the school hates me now."

"That fucking sucks, I'm sorry Naruto," Sakura says while reaching up to hold his hand. "I wish I could be there to support you."

Naruto laughs and squeezes her hand. "No no, it's fine. Gaara and Sasuke are protecting me, and I guess they're like the alphas of the school or something."

"So, is Gaara into you or what?" She asks as she scrolls through her timeline. "He seems like he is since he's protecting you and stuff."

Naruto blushes as he remembers what Gaara said earlier today. He covers his face with both hands and mumbles, "He vowed to take me virginity if Sasuke didn't."

Sakura turns to her best friend and gawks at him. "He what?!"

Naruto repeats himself, his face becoming redder as the weight of Gaara's words finally hit him. The fact that Gaara wants to be Naruto's first makes his head spin. Not only that, but Gaara is competing against Sasuke to be Naruto's first, which makes Naruto feel even dizzier.

"Oh my gosh, oh my fucking gosh! Are you gonna let him?" She asks frantically while grabbing both of Naruto's hands and pulling them away from his face.

"I, I don't know. He's gotten farther than Sasuke has," he mumbles while looking away. Sakura's jaw falls to the floor.

"What do you mean he's gotten farther than Sasuke?"

Naruto starts to shrink away from his best friend and his eyes never meet hers. "Let's just say that Gaara and I were half-naked and making out in my dorm while skipping class."

Sakura doesn't know whether to fangirl about the make-out part or scold him for skipping classes. So she does both.

"First off, don't skip your classes, you need your education!" She yells while smacking his head lightly. He nods, knowing that learning means a lot to Sakura. "And secondly, oh my gosh Naruto you scoundrel! Was he gentle? Was he rough? Tell me everything!"

Naruto laughs at Sakura's eagerness to hear about his time with Gaara. He misses talking to her like this and wishes he could return home every day to tell her about his day with hot boys and such. She's truly Naruto's best friend.

"Well, I wouldn't say he's gentle, nor was he rough. I think he was holding back a bit," he says recalling his make-out session. "He caressed all my scars and made me feel good about my body, but at the same time, he was like dry humping me into the bed. I wasn't complaining though."

While Naruto is telling Sakura all about how their fun was ended when Sai walked into the room, she's mumbling omg under her breath. Once he's done with his story, she stares at him with wide eyes and flushed cheeks. There's a long pause of bated silence before Naruto perks up again.

"Oh yeah! I've also seen Gaara's dick in the showers," he says casually. Sakura might as well faint at what he said. She fans herself with her hands and before she can even ask, Naruto says, "It's huge. Like, it can split me in half."

Sakura squeals and covers her open mouth with one hand. "Oh my goodness Naruto!!"

She takes a few deep breaths and finds her center. Naruto grins and laughs at her reactions.

"Okay, okay," she says, finally calming herself. "Now tell me about that fuckboy Sasuke, why does he want to protect you all of a sudden?"

Naruto remembers the last time he told Sakura about Sasuke was when Sasuke violated him in the bathroom. The incident left a bad impression of Sasuke in Sakura's mind. Of course, since Naruto wants to be Sasuke's friend, he'll tell her about how he's grown and such.

"Well, he's actually not so bad. I mean, he still forces me up against walls and such," Naruto says lightly. Sakura only hums in disapproval. Naruto quickly tries to defend what he just said.

"I mean, yeah he still forces me up against walls, but now he asks for permission to kiss me, and sometimes he asks to touch me, but usually he touches me whenever," he says, trying to cover for Sasuke. He still sees the disapproving glare on Sakura's face and tries again to defend him. "But, I let him do those things to me, cause I sorta, kinda like it."

Sakura huffs and crosses her arms over her chest. "I'll still kick his ass if he messes with you. But, it seems like you like him."

"Well, I don't like him like him. I just like him," Naruto protests with a sheepish grimace.

"Then what do you see in him that makes you give into him?"

Naruto pauses for a moment to gather his thoughts. He wonders what exactly does Sasuke have that makes him weak in the knees, that withers his inhibitions.

"Sasuke's smart, practically a genius, not to mention he's athletic and well built for his age. He might as well be a model with brains, and he has such a smooth way of flirting that would usually make me fall to my knees, but sometimes he's a bit egotistical. He treats me like I'm a fragile piece of glass that needs to be taken care of, or like a pet that needs constant affection. Sometimes I wish he was actually into me and not just looking for a hookup," Naruto says, his tone at first dreamy but soon turns sad at the end. Sakura notices Naruto's change in posture and mood as he continues to think about Sasuke. She assumes that Naruto must really like Sasuke and her glare dissipates at the thought.

"I really want to be his friend. He seems really depressed on the inside, despite his flawless efforts to hide it," Naruto adds in sadly. Sakura sees Naruto's downcast eyes and looks for a way to change the subject.

"Hey, uh, tell me more about the guys that like you," Sakura says, hoping to lift the mood a bit. Something clicks in Naruto's brain and a pink blush coats his cheeks.

"Sasuke has an older brother who's hotter and smoother than Sasuke will ever be," Naruto comments as he thinks of Itachi. "His name is Itachi and I met him about a week ago."

"Tell me more," Sakura encourages as she leans in.

"Itachi is so, like, I feel at ease with him. He's easy to talk to and I don't know if he likes me, but I really really want him to," Naruto says, trying to formulate the right words with a big goofy grin on his face. "And I'm also seeing him today!"

"You are? Wait, how did you guys even meet?" Sakura asks, still a bit confused.

"Ah," Naruto rubs the back of his neck. "That's a long story."

"Give me the short version."

Naruto shrugs and says, "I bumped into some college kids at a burger joint and now they're paying me to clean up after they have one of their parties."

"Oh, wow that sucks," Sakura remarks, picking up her phone again. "You're not even invited to the party."

"Yeah, whatever. I at least get to see Itachi."

"That's fair, especially if he's a hottie," she says while dragging her fingers through her long, fading pink hair. "You should send me pictures of your boyfriends."

"My boyfriends?"

"Yeah, your three boyfriends you're totally crushing on," Sakura says, holding up three fingers. "Gaara, Sasuke, and Itachi."

She then adds in, "And your roommate Sai, he seems cool. Also, those boys that hate you so much, just in case I see them on the street and have to kick some major ass."

Naruto rolls his eyes but agrees to do it anyways.

...

Naruto returns back to his school at noon since that's where Deidara will be picking him up. As he walks through the gates, he notices not too far from him Gaara is being dropped off by that man, Kankuro, from earlier. He decides to wait for Gaara at the gate and smiles at Gaara when he comes near.

"Who was that?" Naruto asks politely as they walk down a brick path to the dorms.

"My older brother, Kankuro," Gaara replies. He sees the curious look in Naruto's eyes and sighs, knowing he wants more details. "He wanted to hang out since I haven't seen the family in a while. I'm the youngest of three, Temari, my sister, is the oldest."

This comes as a shock to Naruto since he would never guess that Gaara was the baby of the family. He always assumed Gaara to be the oldest, or have no siblings at all since he radiated a fierce type of dominance.

"You're the baby?" Naruto mumbles stupidly.

"Yes. I am the baby," Gaara sighs. They continue to walk and something pops into Naruto's head.

"Hey Gaara," Naruto calls out as he tugs at Gaara's sleeve. Gaara grunts in response. "Can we take a picture together?"

Gaara freezes in his tracks and Naruto stops too. Gaara turns to the teen next to him and glares.

"Why?"

Naruto begins stumbling over his words, never giving a clear answer for he's too afraid he'll mess up and say something wrong. Gaara only rolls his eyes at the bumbling idiot and pulls him close.

"Only one, okay?"

Naruto stops his indistinct chatter and grins as he pulls his phone out. He points the front-facing camera towards them and smiles a big goofy grin. Gaara smiles a little too, making sure he looks good for Naruto's selfie. Naruto snaps the photo and quickly looks at the picture. The first thing he notices his Gaara's smile, then the cute little dimples in his cheeks.

Naruto gasps and looks to Gaara, who's already walking off.

He has dimples. That's so fucking cute. Is all Naruto can think about as he catches up with Gaara.

"You have dimples?" Naruto squeaks out and Gaara sighs.

"Fuck off with that shit," he says, trying to keep his mean face on. When people find out about Gaara's dimples, they instantly fawn over him and he hates it so much. Which is why he doesn't smile that often.

"It's so unexpected, so cute," Naruto squeals. Gaara's scowl falters a little and a smile breaks out on his face. Something about Naruto makes Gaara want to smile more.

Naruto gasps as the dimples return and he puts his fingers in the little deformities in Gaara's cheeks. Gaara's scowl reappears as he swipes Naruto's hands away.

"Geez, leave me alone! It's embarrassing!" Gaara yells as he runs off, holding his cheeks. Naruto giggles at his successful attempt to fluster Gaara and walks in the dorms. He pops into the elevator, allowing it to take him to level six. He exits the lift and looks around.

He sees Sasuke roaming the halls and instantly runs up to him. "Sasuke! Sasuke!"

At the call of his name, Sasuke whips around with a deadly glare, but it softens once he sees it's only Naruto. With a smirk, he says, "What do you want Naru?"

Naruto reels his fist back and socks Sasuke right in the jaw, all while smiling. "That's for my homework you douchebag! I stayed up all night redoing it all."

"That's fair," Sasuke mumbles while rubbing his jaw. "But you said if I do the work, not if I do the work correctly. I just found a loophole, it's all business baby."

Naruto huffs and crosses his arms over his chest. "What-the-fuck-ever! You used me to get kisses!"

"And you tried to use me to do all your homework, I think we're even," Sasuke says with a smug expression. "Have you learned your lesson?"

Naruto rolls his eyes, pouting a little. "No, I'll still try it on you later."

Sasuke chuckles, loving Naruto's honesty and boldness. "Is that all you wanted? Is to punch me?"

Naruto nods, feeling satisfied with his task. Sasuke shrugs and begins to walk off, that's when Naruto is reminded of the quest Sakura set him on.

"No! Wait!" Naruto calls out. Sasuke turns on his heel and tilts his head.

"What is it now?"

"Can we take a picture together?"

Sasuke smirks and grabs Naruto by his hand. He hugs Naruto from behind as he brings out his phone. Sasuke rests his chin Naruto's shoulder and smiles, but looks over at Naruto just as he snaps the photo. He walks away immediately after the snapshot, promising to see Naruto later.

...

Naruto does this for a while, snapping sneaky photos of Neji and luckily he found Suigetsu to snap pictures of too. He returns to his dorm and sees that Sai has disappeared. His quest is almost complete, all he needs is a picture of Itachi and Sai.

He sits on his bed and glosses over all the pictures he's taken in the past hour and a half. Naruto studies the picture with Gaara and picks up on the little things he didn't regard before; like the peace sign Gaara is holding up, and the slight blush on his cheeks. It's too cute for him to handle. He notices in the selfie with Sasuke, that Sasuke is gazing at him lovingly, rather than looking at the camera. He feels something blossom in his chest as he hums at the picture. Naruto feels like he'll treasure this single photo forever.

With a press of a button, Naruto sends all the pictures to Sakura. She fangirls about Gaara's dimples just like Naruto did and admits that Sasuke is kinda, sorta handsome. She says nothing about the Neji and Suigetsu photos, only taking note of what they look like and dismiss the rest. She calls him after he sends the pictures, squealing into the receiver once he answers.

"Oh my fucking goodness!! Gaara is such a cutie and Sasuke, well, he's not as ugly as I thought he was. He's actually kinda hot," she admits to Naruto who only hums in agreement.

"I wish you were here to experience all the cute boys with me," Naruto sighs dreamily as he leans back on his bed. "But, I'm also happy that I get them all to myself."

"You lucky bitch," Sakura scoffs sassily as Naruto laughs. "I wish I were a boy!"

...

A/N: Gaara with dimples is simply just a headcanon of mine. I think it'll look cute on him, and since he doesn't smile often, it'll come as a surprise to others.
***And before ya'll start tearing my head off about how Sakura doesn't have long hair, I believe that Sakura only cut her hair short because her wig got snatched by some random chick in the Ninja Universe and she kept it short so that wouldn't happen again. Therefore, in a modern, alternate universe where her weave ain't gonna get snatched, she has long hair that she dyes pink.

Anyway, thanks for reading. I love you. Ttyl.

Sakura is a fujoshi and you can't change my fucking mind about that shit.
