"Fuck!" Naruto sprang out of bed and stared at Shikamaru with wide eyes. "Why are you in my room?!"

The lazy boy was standing at the end of Naruto's bed, eyes half lidded, yawning without a care in the world. He stuffed a hand into his pockets and used the other to scratch the back of his head.

"Sakura stormed into my room and woke me up, very violently." He shrugged, "I sank into the ground and ended up here." Shikamaru's eyes curiously lingered on Naruto's torso, looking him up and down. "Nice abs ya got there."

Naruto glanced down on himself and blushed, he stumbled to grab a shirt from the ground and quickly put it on. "Thanks, I guess." He mumbled.

He knew that Shikamaru was blunt, and it surprised him when he had been woken up with a body falling on top of his - he had groaned and then realised that someone else was in bed with him.

Shikamaru pat his back and walked out of the room, wincing when Sakura's shriek practically made the whole house tremble. "Everyone better be awake!"

"Shut up you cock juggling pink-haired thundercunt!"

Deidara's head popped out of the doorway, his fury made obvious from his long string of curses. His blond hair was messy and tangled, and there were most definitely remnants of the previous night's pizza in it.

Naruto whistled at his choice of words, "Nice one."

"Thanks. Ugh, screw this, can someone just yeet me into the abyss already?" Deidara muttered angrily as he shut his bedroom door again, probably to try and tame the rats nest on his head.

"What is 'yeet'?" Sasuke exited the bathroom, a towel around his hips to give him some modesty, but Naruto slowly nodded and raised his eyebrow as he appreciated Sasuke's pale muscle. "I don't need to be Neji to know what you're thinking." Sasuke smirked at Naruto. "See something you like?"

Blushing again, Naruto started walking down the stairs as Shikamaru chuckled. "Don't tease the innocent newbie with your promiscuity."

Once Naruto had entered the kitchen and living room, he widened his eyes and whistled at the mess they left in the kitchen the previous night. "We really need to clean up." He said simply, shaking his head.

Neji sat on the couch with a coffee in his hand, knees up at his chest. "Too early... Less words please..." He sported a terrible headache. "I need to stop drinking vodka, maybe switch to beers." He muttered.

It was quite comical seeing the formal and slightly reserved man sit like L from Death Note, his pale skin patchy with pink tones, and hair dishevelled.

"That might be a good idea, I distinctly remember you singing karaoke to Fabulous by Sharpay in High School Musical." Naruto recalled with a cheeky grin on his face.

Groaning loudly, Neji put his head in his hands. "Fuck sake, please tell me you didn't-"

"Yep." Naruto winked, "We recorded it and posted it on Snapchat." Neji groaned louder, "I'm sure most of the University has seen it now."

"Great." Neji rolled his eyes, "Now we aren't only the supernatural freaks, but we're also the nerdy losers."

Sasuke walked in with an eyebrow raised, plopping himself down onto the couch next to Neji while Naruto made himself some toast. "Correction; you are a nerdy loser." Neji gave him the middle finger.
