Sasuke and Naruto couldn't be more different. From the way they dressed, down to every fiber of their personalities and interests. But f...

A loud yawn slips passed pouted pink lips, echoing throughout the empty cafe. In the early hours of the morning on another harrowingly long Monday, Naruto was exhausted. He usually made it to the cafe at four, opened by five, and tried his best to remain positive until he got off at four pm. Twelve hours of work each workday, and only increasing as the weeks went by.
Recently he'd been picking up as many extra shifts as he could, which seemed completely doable at first, but was now quickly becoming the very bane of his existence.
As much as he genuinely loved the place he worked, the people he worked with, and at least most of the customers that came in; it wasn't something he saw himself doing forever. The pay wasn't too bad, more than most of the minimum wage jobs he'd worked, and still not nearly enough to cover his bills and expenses with reasonable hours.
That was what it all came down to at the end of the day—money.
He believed it to be the root of all evils. Yet, here he stood, completely and utterly exhausted, waiting for the next shithead with enough money to buy ten coffees if they wanted to to show up so he could plaster another fake smile on his face, bitterly make a shitty drink, and imagine blowing his brains out for the millionth time in a row so he could keep a roof over his head.
It's a wonderful life, huh..
"Mornin'" his flatline of apathy quickly becomes a bright smile towards the customer just walking in, the smell of cigarettes following. "What can I get for you?"
The man who just walked in, curls his lip in disgust as he takes in Naruto's appearance. Nothing he isn't use to, though annoying as it always is. "Just a medium hot coffee.. and put extra cream and sugar! Last time it tasted like ass!"
"Coming right up!" The blonde beams and begins cashing him out, his acting skills superb. It isn't until he turns to start putting the drink together that he rolls his eyes, already a little irritated due to the unnecessary comment. When he finishes making the coffee, he gives the man one last smile, making him roll his eyes as he goes to exit. "Have a nice day!"
A certain head of raven hair catches the corner of his eye, his eyebrows raising in amusement.
That guy again.. like clockwork.
The glass door to the cafe swings open out of nowhere, slamming the raven haired male in the face since he just so happened to arrive and stopped to ogle his blonde crush, a tired looking middle-aged man emerging in it's wake. As the ravenette sinks to his knees with a groan, his hand cupping around his now slightly bleeding nose, the man pushes forward with a snarl and a few muttered curses.
"Fucking hell..," the male mutters to himself, glaring daggers at the rude man's back, barely aware of the heavy footsteps approaching.
"Hey! Asshole! At least say you're sorry!" Naruto shouts after the man, who only starts walking faster. "Urgh—I hope you have a really shitty day, old man!" The familiar voice gracing his eardrums seems to ease a bit of the pain, his onyx eyes moving to stare up at the blonde now kneeling down to his side, heart thumping heavily. "Are you okay? Let me look." Naruto's hand gently wraps around his wrist, swiftly pulling the appendage away to examine the wound on his pale, red-stained face.
When their eyes meet, everything going on around them seems to melt away. No longer did either of them feel the presence of the crowds shuffling around them, nor could they hear the noise of the traffic and busy city life. Onyx and Cerulean blue collide, the moment eliciting a small butterfly to go off in Naruto's stomach.
His eyes are like black diamonds.
"I'm fine." The raven haired male mutters, anger evident in his eyes, the slight fire in them turning the blonde to jelly. "I could kill that guy."
Chuckling, Naruto pulls them both to their feet, his stature only slightly taller than the ravenette's. "You're bleeding, ya know." He points a ringed finger at his counterpart's nose, the other almost going cross-eyed trying to see it himself. "Let's go inside. I'll get you some ice."
