-1Naruto knew within minutes that he had been drugged. He knew by the drowsy feeling that came over him as soon as he finished eating, a warm feeling that was beyond what he should have felt from just chicken soup and tea. It really was a wonder that it hadn't happened to him sooner, he being an orphan his whole life and leaving the orphanage a few months ago to try his own hand at life. Sure that life hadn't been great, living on the streets, working the odd jobs he could find and most of his meals coming out of this sparse soup kitchen, but it was his life, and he thought it was finally picking up. Now here he was, barely able to hold his head up, eyes blurring and three burly guys walking over towards him. But his hearing hadn't betrayed him yet, not quite.

"This the one then?"

"Yeah, orphan, living on the streets, scum to feed the best."

"Whatever, let's just get him out of here before anyone get's suspicious."

Naruto felt his body being lifted, hefted unceremoniously over someone's shoulder, but then even that strand of consciousness abandoned him to complete darkness.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto suddenly woke up, gasping and trying to sit as the fragments from before he fully passed out came back. He was trying to sit, rather than succeeding, because one of the first things he found out was that his hands and legs were in rather large and heavy shackles, keeping him pinned to a huge, stone table.

"Hello? Hey? Anyone there?"

Either no one was there or no one was answering.

"Kind of thirsty here. Hello?"

Seriously, what kind of people chained someone to a stone table in the middle of nowhere?! Of course he had heard the rumors, people vanishing without a trace, but this, he was open to anything attacking him like this! What was he supposed to do if a bear came along, try and sing it to sleep?

A twig cracked, drawing the blond's attention, only to scowl as some curious squirrels played nearby.

Naruto could do nothing save lay there, watching as the sun slowly set, his mouth parched and dry.

Once the moon had risen high into the sky, the blond woke from his drowsing state, hearing footfalls.

"Hello? Hello? Come on, please tell me it's a human and not a bear."

He couldn't help but feel panicked, the worry of a bear still being foremost in his mind.

A chuckle, as dark and mysterious as the night broke the silence.

"Hello? Come on, I heard you laugh. Please say you have water, I'm dying here."

Another chuckle was his answer before a voice spoke, just out of his range of sight.

"No pleas for freedom?"

Now Naruto chuckled, he would have scratched his neck if he could have reached.

"Now that you mention it, I wouldn't be against these shackles going away, things itch something awful, you know."

"No, I wouldn't since I've never been on that table."

Naruto smiled, finding the banter helped to calm his jumbled nerves.

"Well, anytime to want to switch, just let me know."

"I think." The voice got quieter as it moved closer. "I'll pass on that."

"Awww, you're really missing out, terribly comfortable bed, here, I should know, been here all evening."

"Have you now?"

Naruto's voice caught, the person, or man, he had no doubts it was a man now, stepped to the edge of the table, his midnight hair seeming to catch the light of the full moon, hiding his face and contrasting against the alabaster skin.

"Yeah."

A pale hand lifted up, running over Naruto's cheeks.

"No tears, no pleas to save you…"

It seemed he was perplexed by the blond.

"Seriously, I wouldn't turn down water right now, I swear my tongue is swollen."

"Just water. All you want is water?"

"Yeah, that so odd?"

"I suppose not for you."

He saw the hand move to his head, helping him tilt it up before a gourd containing water touched his lips, wetting the parched skin. Naruto drank deeply, swirling the life-giving fluid around in his mouth to savior it until it was finally drawn away.

"Thank you. Seriously man, I owe you one."

The other man remained silent, corking the gourd again.

"You do, don't you."

Now Naruto was at an impasse, unsure how to come back to that, but afraid if he didn't then his only human contact would leave him.

"So, uhh, I'm Naruto, what's your name?"

He felt like kicking himself, mentally screaming 'lame' inside his head.

A chuckle came from the mystery man.

"Still no pleas for me to leave you be?"

"Dude, I've been alone all day, last thing I want is for you to take off. I mean, hell, a bear or something could get me out here."

"A bear?"

There was an obvious note of disbelief.

"It could happen!"

Another chuckle.

"Sasuke."

Now that was so left field, Naruto blinked.

"What?"

"You asked my name. It's Sasuke."

"Oh. Oh! Hey, nice to meet you, Sasuke."

Sasuke jumped onto the table so quickly that Naruto gasped, suddenly having the dark man sitting straddled over his waist. The moon shining down and casting it's light upon the pale skin, lighting up the breathtaking features.

"Whoa, don't move so fast, okay, kind of startled me there."

"Aren't you afraid, Naruto?"

"Why? I mean, I was before, but now I'm not alone."

A deep chuckle sent shivers down Naruto's spine as those pale hands slowly moved over his chest, rubbing the fabric of his shirt.

"Sometimes it's safer being alone."

"Yeah, but not when some jackass left you shackled to a table in the middle of nowhere."

"Even then."

He couldn't get the meaning in the words, or the odd lilt to Sasuke's voice.

"You know, I think I'll stick to your company."

"They left you out here to be food, Naruto. Food for a monster."

It was spoken so simply, like it was something that should be obvious.

"Then stick around and hopefully it won't show up."

Naruto gave him an easy grin, belying the nervousness he felt in his stomach.

"I could be that monster."

"Ha ha, Sasuke, seriously, not funny, so stop trying to creep me out."

A dark eyebrow rose, arching over eyes that seemed like pure onyx, sucking in a person's soul with that gaze.

"You honestly don't fear me."

It was a statement, one Naruto shook his head in the negative to. He saw no reason to fear Sasuke, actually he was thankful he came.

Sasuke's hands found the hem of Naruto's shirt, slowly pulling it up enough to slip cold hands underneath.

"Whoa. Sasuke, talk about cold hands!"

"I'll make you a deal, Naruto." Another dark chuckle filled the night. "This is the first time I've ever encountered someone on this table without fear. So, here is my deal. If you still don't fear me by the end of the night, then you live to see another month of sunrises."

"Wait, you have the keys?"

"No, but they will come to collect you in the morning. Or what is left of you."

"See, now you're just trying to scare me." Naruto grinned at the other. "You have to do better than that though."

"Oh, I will, don't worry, I will."

Naruto grinned at his new 'friend', at least that was what he dubbed him.

"You aren't bad looking." A pale hand moved up at the words, tracing over a scar on Naruto's cheek.

"So says the model sitting on me."

Naruto's statement earned him a smirk.

"Flattery, now? That's a new tactic."

"Hey, it's only flattery if it wasn't true. So," Naruto swallowed, embarrassed to ask. "Are you a model? I mean seriously, you have this whole dark, brooding, model thing going on."

That time an actual laugh, deep and like velvet moved through Sasuke.

"No, no I am not a model."

"You should consider it, I bet you would be a hit."

"Perhaps, but my time in the villages is long past, I prefer to stay away, coming here when I need my meals."

Naruto grinned.

"If I'm laying in your roast beef you are just s.o.l., cause I couldn't move my ass if my life depended on it."

Another chuckle.

"You amuse me. It's been a very long time since I have been so amused."

"See, now that's a shame. Cause I totally think everyone needs laughter, only thing is, people always tell me I don't know when to shut up."

"I can see that being a problem for them."

"Hey! Rude much?"

Another chuckle, then that pale face was close to his own, hovering centimeters away.

"They simply don't know how to shut you up."

"What?"

Naruto felt breathless, sucked into those dark eyes, the spell only breaking as they slid closed, supple lips making contact with his own in a short and tender kiss, one that ended before he could truly comprehend what had happened.

"See. Quiet."

A smug smirk was gracing that beautiful face, still so close as to be sharing air.

"That was cheating."

Naruto wanted to kick himself for whispering, but it seemed with Sasuke so close, any louder would have been wrong.

"But it still worked."

And the lips moved down again, capturing his lips in another kiss, this one longer, slowly deepening, a tongue tracing out Naruto's lip in a plea for entrance, one that only had a moment's hesitation before it was answered.

It was Naruto's first kiss, and all he could think about was how it was everything he ever imagined as Sasuke's tongue delved in, exploring him with abandon, gently coaxing his own into play. It was toe curling, spine tingling good, and as soon as he got the hang of breathing through his nose, Naruto wanted nothing to end it, that is until something cut his tongue.

"Ow, ow. Sasuke, wait." Said male pulled back, looking quizzically down at him. "I cut my tongue, I think it was on your tooth."

Naruto rubbed his tongue on his own teeth, tasting the hint of blood.

"Let me see."

It was an odd request, but Naruto stuck his tongue out, only to moan when Sasuke leaned down, sucking it into his own mouth and suckling gently on the appendage, his own tongue seeking out the injury and rubbing along it.

Both finally broke the kiss, panting hard, pale forehead resting against a tanned one.

"Seriously, you have some sharp teeth or something."

Another low chuckle shook Sasuke's pale chest.

"Yes, I have very sharp teeth, probably sharper than anyone you've been with before."

"Actually, see, I.. well I mean…"

Sasuke sat up, taking in the blush on Naruto's cheeks before making Naruto jump as he dove down, burying his face suddenly in Naruto's neck and inhaling deeply.

"You're a virgin."

"Well, that was what I was getting at."

Naruto watched Sasuke sit up, a smirk playing at his lips with this new information.

"A virgin."

"Hey, don't go thinking I'm easy just because we kissed and all."

"I can do whatever I want, you're tied down, remember."

Naruto blushed, his arms giving an involuntary jerk at the restraints

"Yeah, that would be a problem."

He watched the beautiful face smirk down at him.

"Scared yet?"

Naruto grinned back.

"No way, so far you've given me water, kept this monster whatever away and you're a damned good kisser."

"But I could do anything I wanted to you."

To emphasize his point, a barely warmed hand found a tanned nub, pinching it to hardness, watching as Naruto gasped and arched.

"Okay, there is that."

"And who says I'm not the monster."

Naruto smirked confidently, completely sure of his answer.

"Then you're the best looking monster I've ever heard of."

Sasuke blinked in shock before leaning down again, pleased to note how Naruto's eyes fluttered closed, his head lifting to meet him as soon as he could while their lips engaged in another bout of dancing.

Naruto shivered, feeling how those hands continued to explore his chest, delighting in the touches and how they made him feel. This was the first time someone had shown any interest in touching him like this, and he found how he now understood why couples enjoyed touching so much.

The hot mouth finally left his, sucking and nipping at his neck.

"So, Sasuke, ah!" He gasped at a particularly hard nip, shuddering as Sasuke sucked at his neck.

"Yes?"

The paler boy released Naruto's neck, sitting up and facing him.

"Does this make us, um, boyfriends, or something?"

Obsidian eyes widened in what Naruto could only take as shock.

"Is that what you want? To have a monster for a boyfriend?"

The voice sounded cold, almost petulant.

"No, but I wouldn't mind you as my boyfriend." Naruto could feel his own blush. "I mean, you know, if you want. I know I'm not like a catch or anything, but, yeah, I mean if you want to, I'm game."

"Sometimes you do talk to much."

Naruto pouted, but broke into a grin when his pout was sucked into a kiss, making him moan and redouble his efforts to kiss Sasuke breathless this time, something he was sure would take more than one night of practice for.

Naruto couldn't help gasping when he felt the button to his pants opened, the zipper soon following.

"Sasuke."

"Naruto."

The first was gasped with shock, while the second was purred out, a hand slipping in and cupping Naruto's growing erection through his boxers, palming the heated flesh as it finished filling out.

Naruto threw his head back, panting and trying to buck into the hand.

"Sasuke."

That time it was groaned, a fact that the smirk on the pale face showed how much it pleased him, enough that he shifted down, grabbing Naruto's pants and boxers, pulling both down to his knees, the limit that the shackles would allow.

"Whoa, slow down, we just started dating."

"Relax, Naruto." A dark smirk answered his gaze. "You'll enjoy this."

"Yeah, but, what if a bear or that monster comes along?"

Sasuke sighed, sitting up slightly.

"I already told you, I'm the monster."

"Yeah, perverted monster, maybe."

Naruto grinned, but the hand wrapping around his exposed length and pumping it back to full hardness shut him up.

"Looks like I found another way to shut you up."

"That's cause… I mean, it's not..ah… fair.."

Sasuke's chuckle filled the air before he laid down on Naruto's clothed legs, one hand palming and stroking Naruto's length while the other grabbed a tanned thigh, tilting it outwards.

Those perfectly red lips began kissing Naruto's thigh, sending a steady stream of pleasure to his already hazed brain.

"Sasuke…"

Naruto closed his eyes, powerless to do anything to stop the other, and finding it pointless to even try, he allowed himself to simply feel, moaning and writhing under the touches. He could tell once the kisses became sucking that he would have the ultimate hicky on the inside of his thigh, but right now he couldn't care, that hand had moved down to cupping and rolling his balls, leaving his hips to thrust into the air, wanting nothing more than that hand back on his throbbing length.

It was all going so great, and then Sasuke bit down, making Naruto screech and try to sit up, though he couldn't free his leg from the pale man's grip.

"Sasuke! That hurt! Easy on the biting there."

A chuckle answered him, but then it seemed like Sasuke was… purring? Naruto had a hard time telling since that wonderful hand moved back to his length, grabbing it and pumping faster, obviously working the blond towards completion.

"Oh… yeah, Sasuke…"

Naruto wasn't sure how long he could last, Sasuke sucking at his thigh like that, sending chills and tendrils of pleasure down his body, that hand squeezing and pumping him so hard. He had never experienced anyone else touching him before and it made the heat pool to his stomach all the faster with the knowledge.

He tried raising his head enough to see Sasuke, but gave it up, throwing his head back and closing his eyes, letting moan after moan escape.

All too soon for Naruto's taste the heat pooled into a tight coil, one that finally exploded, leaving dancing dots behind his eyes as he yelled out his orgasm, the sticky fluid shooting over his stomach.

That was when he felt Sasuke release his thigh as well, giving the area a few more good licks.

"You're delicious, Naruto."

"Th-thanks, I.. think…"

Naruto still had his eyes closed, riding out the last waves of sinful pleasure that made his muscles hum. He wasn't even conscious of the action as he lifted his hips, helping the other male redress him to keep the chill away from now sensitive parts.

The dark-hair boy moved up Naruto's now clothed body, capturing his lips in another kiss, knowing his own mouth still tasted of blood.

"Sasuke, what the hell? Is that blood?"

"Yes, it is."

"From me or you cut your own tongue on those razor teeth of yours?"

Another chuckle.

"The blood is from you, Naruto."

"Damn," Naruto blinked in shock. "I knew you bit me, but damn! Kinky, aren't you."

He gave Sasuke a grin, shaking his head to the shocked look on the other's face, only to look startled when Sasuke jumped easily down from the table.

"The sun will rise soon, I must go."

"Wait! Sasuke."

Said male arched an eyebrow.

"Can't you wait with me for those guys to show up?"

Sasuke shook his head in the negative.

"No, I can't be here, but you live, because never once did you show me fear."

"So that means we're dating now? I mean, after tonight, you know?"

Sasuke chuckled, deep and rich.

"Yes, I suppose we are." He leaned over Naruto, kissing him again. "Tell them next month I want you unshackled."

"Next month?! I have to wait a month to see you again?"

"That's when they leave the next offering."

"Before you go, I mean, if you have some, think I can have another drink?"

Sasuke arched an eyebrow, but uncorked the gourd, holding it to Naruto's lips again, letting him drink his fill.

"Since I got my drink, you get your's."

Naruto grinned.

"Kinky, blood drinking boyfriend. Just what I needed in life."

Sasuke smirked.

"If only you knew."

"Huh?"

Naruto was lost by that statement, and debated calling out to Sasuke again, but didn't want to anger his new beau, instead watching him as he seemed to vanish into the moon light, not making a sound in his wake.

Now, left alone again, he had nothing to do but wait, his eyes sliding closed as sleep overcame him, blaming it on the drugs that were most likely still in his body.
