It was Tuesday morning, a quarter till eight and Naruto just finished his daily morning ramen cup. He was already dressed, wearing black jeans and a neon orange loose fitted shirt that had a red swirl on the back, outlined in black thread. Before he left he made sure to grab his keys and phone, also patting his pockets down with his open hand to make sure he has his wallet. "Okay, Naruto you got this." He said to himself, looking at the mirror by the front door before making his leave.
When he made it to the shop he parked his bike and entered in through the main waiting room. The sound of an impact wrench echoed through the below average sized room. There was a soft bell tone that projected as background sound when the door opened, quickly grabbing Itachi's attention. "Good morning," The dark hair man stated before opening the little wooden halfway door and gesturing for him to come behind the counter. "I'll show you how to clock in." He finished as he moved over enough to let Naruto slide past the door.
"Just click the time clock button and select your name, then hit clock in." Itachi said while pointing at every spot on the nine by nine screen, watching the new employee select as directed. It hadn't been more then five minutes for him to explain the clock in duties, before Itachi took Naruto through a set of French style blue doors that led out to the shop.
Naruto's eyes wondered over every work station, seeing everyone had their own spots throughout the shop. It was a rather large work area compared to the small waiting room. He noticed everyone had their own tool boxes and a variety of personal items occupying the space on the small desks provided near the stations. Itachi pointed at most of the important equipment such as the brake lathe, wheel balancer, and tire mount.
Itachi had also introduced him to most of the mechanics already working that morning, there was a couple of people he knew from association like Lee and Shikamaru, but the best part was his good friend Kiba also worked there. They hadn't seen each other since graduation but their friendship wasn't just forgotten.
When they made it to the back of the shop, there was an open and cleared out station on the right side of the room which Naruto presumed was his. Right next to it there was a man wearing a dark blue mechanic coverall. The man was leaned over an older Chevy truck model, painted green and had aftermarket headlights. Naruto couldn't really see the man's face but could tell his hair was so black it looked blue. "This is your station Naruto." Itachi said while swaying his arm in a way as if presenting the rather clean area. For a shop it was abnormally clean at this station, as if nobody has worked there long enough for it to become dirty.
The sound of Naruto's name swam through Sasuke's ears. The hairs on the back of his neck stood up and goosebumps ran down his back. He couldn't help but not want to believe that the man had really gotten a job at his work. He leaned up enough to look past his shoulder seeing that what he was hoping was a nightmare was indeed a reality. "Shit." He whispered to himself as his eyes scanned over the blonde man's attire. He scuffed under his breath before burrowing his head back into the cavity of the truck, using his wrench to tighten down the bolt he was just working on.
After Itachi showed Naruto where his temporary tool box was, until he could buy his own, he started walking them over to Sasuke's station. The older dark haired man stopped in his tracks just a few feet from the other man. He cleared his throat to grab the man's attention, only causing him to lean up and out of the engine compartment. The younger one made eye contact with his brother while turning around and leaning his back against the front of the truck. His arms were in front of him with a rag in one hand and rubbing the other to clear it from left over grease. "Sasuke this is Naruto, he's Sai's replacement." Itachi said with a warm voice, softer then the voice he gave to Naruto when they first met.
Sasuke shifted his eyes to meet Naruto's, who looked as if he had seen a ghost. His eyes were wider then normal and his skin fell pale. Sasuke could tell those blue eyes had been staring at him since the minute they walked up. Not the average kind of stare but a terrified one. "Hn..." Was the simple response he gave.
