And Naruto saw white.
Blinking past the stars and dots that littered his vision, Naruto's hand shot up to his jaw, and winced at the sharp pain that stabbed like a thousand poisoned needles. His eyes narrowed into a hard stare at Sasuke who now rested awkwardly, and breathless, against a tree trunk.
"What the hell was that for, you bastard!" Naruto yelled.
Naruto tried not to stare at the swollen lips and the blush that plastered Sasuke's face when Sasuke turned his head to one side, glaring angrily at the tree stump next to him. "I couldn't breathe, damned moron, and you acted as if you couldn't take a hint."
Naruto lifted a brow, letting Sasuke's words sink in. A grin stretched his lips. "So whatcha sayin' is that you liked the kiss," Naruto said matter-of-factly.
His grin widened when Sasuke's head suddenly snapped in his direction, the blush on his pale cheeks deepening. "I never said that; those words never past my lips." Sasuke said a little too quickly.
Naruto nodded absently and strolled leisurely toward Sasuke, finding odd delight in the way Sasuke continually pressed his body into the tree trunk almost as if he could disappear into it.
"Damned dobe," Sasuke muttered as Naruto threw his hands forward, trapping Sasuke between his arms. A leaf fell atop Sasuke's dark mop of hair and Naruto smiled softly. He leaned down; lips so close and yet not close enough. He felt the soft tingling sensation of warmth in between them and finally connected their lips.
And once again, the butterflies that were huddled together from somewhere deep inside him, burst with each flying every which way. Naruto's body tingled with a warmth that slowly traveled from the soles of his feet, to the tips of his fingers, and to the crown of his head. He deepened the kiss, moving his tongue in a way that forced Sasuke's mouth to open and delved in immediately after to meet Sasuke's own. A vibration was felt on Naruto's lips when Sasuke moaned.
"Damn you," Sasuke said when they broke apart.
Naruto chuckled lightly, leaning down so that he was against Sasuke's neck. He pressed a quick kiss there and then bit and sucked roughly to leave a very noticeable mark. The corner of his lips tilted upward upon noticing the way Sasuke's knees buckled under him.
Blowing on the hickey he made on Sasuke's neck, Naruto stared into those deep, dark eyes that made his heart skip beats way more than he liked. He reveled in the many emotions that passed through them like fireworks.
"Damn right, indeed."
