Mama I'm in Love With A Criminal

01

"I'm falling for him."

"Really? I hadn't noticed."

That's all their friendship was based on, slick comments that they responded with in Lou of revealing their actually feeling. Both of them were bartenders, and for good reason. If you looked good enough to be a stripper, but had the morals of a Saint. Then becoming a bartender was your only choice.

Well having morals of a Saint might be a stretch, more like not having enough self confidence to be able to dress half naked in front of hungry eyes and deal with men that often groped parts of your body that you didn't want groped.

"You are the worst Gaara, because aren't you just as infatuated with his best friend!" The brighter red head spoke, streaks of blonde filtering through the hair which made him look as if a toddler was drawing a pretty picture in their hair,

It looked cute, but childish and it was a reference that Naruto had learned to get over and use to this day.

"Yes, but you seem to be more.. how do I say this? More intuitive with your feelings than I am and will ever be." The night was slow which was strange, typically the bar was in full swing and neither had time to talk until they managed to make it home.

They both were like brothers, close since they seemed to find one another in the street on the same night that they ran away from home. Both had been abused and Naruto was even on the verge of being raped.

They ended up being homeschooled, and once they graduated Highschool. They left and headed to Konoha, a larger city, much larger than Suna with opportunities that neither teen could pass up.

Neither had the time or the energy to go to college and so they ultimately decided to make as much money as they can as a bartender and live out their days and praying there was somebody that could take care of the nineteen year olds and they wouldn't believe that they found it.

In dangerous men that were ten years their senior.

As they started doing task that one person could accomplish together, they continued talking about random things at this point.

"Do you think if we put enough Mayo in our bodies, instead of our body needing water it'll adapt and then demand Mayo instead?"

"Gaara are you okay mentally?"

"So I was thinking about getting Pussy tatted on me, so that will confuse people. Like am I a pussy? Or do I like pussy ya know?"

"People who can't tell you are a fucking bottom Naruto needs their eyes checked."

It was a conversation that Naruto and Gaara made all the time, they were family, basically brothers. There wasn't anything that they were afraid to talk about.

As they finished cleaning the bar, they both stood across from one another talking very quietly as the door to a room opened. The duo hadn't even noticed that door opened and four men came out.

They all had calm looks on their faces and so to any outsider looking in, it looked like a deal was taking place and or they finally reached a conclusion to a problem.

Though to Naruto and Gaara who had been keen on Human emotions since they could walk and talk knew that wasn't the case.

You could sense anger if you were observant enough.

"Would you four like a drink?" Both filtered to behind the bar and quickly grabbed four glasses. Two men looked and scoffed. Heading out the door while Gaara lifeless voice rang.

"Enjoy the rest of your night?" Though the two men that Gaara and Naruto had been ogling in the past weeks came to the bar, and suddenly like a switch had been flipped more people had been coming in.

Though Sakura had come to support them, since Hinata and Tenten were dancing and occupying the men's attention.

"What do you recommend?" The one with the longer hair said, Naruto looked to Gaara who immediately started making a drink.

He slid him a glass with brown liquor in it, garnished with a orange peel. Gaara looked at the males beautiful lavender eyes. There was nothing said, nothing needed to be said as the long haired male took a sip of his drink.

"Why a single malt whiskey?" He asked, ignoring his friend who took out a cigar and started smoking it. Naruto placed down an ashtray and looked the other way when raven eyes followed his exact movement.

"Sophisticated, Knowledgeable, well informed. You scream put together when you walk into this bar every night." Gaara said, going back to cleaning the glass.

"Naruto! Looking good as always!" Naruto turned around, looking at the male who called his name. He blinked before waving and heading back to Gaara.

He very much hated affection from men he didn't find attractive. Gaara and Naruto talked in the corner, while they could feel eyes on them ever since they stepped away from the two who were just casually following them with their eyes.

"I just think it's weird. We've been staring at them for how long, asking them if they wanted a drink for how long and they finally took us up on it tonight?" Naruto said panicking, Gaara poured a glass of Vodka cranberry for Naruto watching him chugg that drink down and calm his nerves a little. He put on his game face and headed back to the cute male.

"Would you like anything to drink? A water even?" Naruto asked, the male looked at Naruto. He had never been one to lie, and so he spoke.

"Make me a drink about how you perceive me? You been watching me for a while haven't you?"

The music was loud but not louder than Naruto's heart. Naruto nodded and headed to the bar. Thinking about the man and everything he had picked up in the time he has seen the man, he made a drink.

Placing it in a to-go container, Naruto spoke calmly.

" A Negroni. You smart analytical and seem to capture everything in that brain of yours. The Togo cup because you never stayed at the bar past 2:30 and it's 2:25. Plus I made the drink pretty because you are attractive. Have a good night." Naruto said before adding.

"Don't worry I placed those drinks on your tab. My shift had ended. Until next time." Naruto said while Gaara walked behind the femboy as they headed to change and leave,

The two males stood up and headed to leave, both having that same thought coursing through their veins.

'He's mines'
