The Last Song Chapter 1 (Naruto AU)
A/N: This fic is a songfic based on songs by the Foo Fighters, one of my favourite bands 3 each chapter will be based around a different song. I suggest you listen to these songs if you don't already know of them; they're such a good band. I had nothing to do today, so I decided to sit down and finish this first chapter. Thank Christ! I've been working on it long enough.
Pairings: SasuNaru, which will eventually develop into two different pairings...that's right, I'm keeping them a secret ;D
Song used: The Last Song – Foo Fighters (In Your Honour)
Warning: This fic contains copious amounts of yaoi, lemon, and angst from the very beginning. If you don't like any of those, then don't read. This fic will have four chapters if all goes to plan. And I will tell you now; I won't be regular in updating chapters. However, I will try to update as much as I possibly can. Thanks for reading, and away with the story!

This is a sound, the here and the now
You've got to talk to talk to talk to talk to get it all out
I listen, I listen, I listen
But you're out of tune, you're so out of tune!
This is the last song, this is the last son ,this is the last song that I will dedicate to you
Something abound, yeah, while I'm still around
You got to walk to walk to walk to walk to make any ground
You'll push in, you'll push in, you'll push in
But there ain't no room, no there ain't no room!
This is the last song, this is the last song, this is the last song, this is the last song
That I will dedicate to you, made my peace and now I'm through
This is the last song that I will dedicate to you
And yours is a name I will never name again, I will never name again
We pretend it doesn't matter, we pretend it all away, we pretend it all away
We pretend, we pretend, we pretend, but it ain't no use
This is the last song, this is the last song, this is the last song, this is the last song
That I will dedicate to you, made my peace and now I'm through
This is the last song that I will dedicate to you
To you, to you.
Sasuke pounded into Naruto, any pretence of affection long gone as he clenched his eyes shut and ignored the blonde's cries, fisting the bed sheets and attempting to keep as much of his body distant from the other's. The raven reached his climax, grunting quietly as he spilt his seed inside of the blonde, muttering a, "Love you" before zipping up his fly, buttoning his trousers and straightening his shirt, until he looked presentable. Satisfied with the reflection that smirked back at him in the bedroom mirror, Sasuke left for work, grabbing his suit jacket from the back of the sofa without a glance back at his partner, who lay on the bed, finishing himself off.
Naruto padded through Sasuke's apartment naked, searching for the clothes that had been strewn over the place in the raven's haste to get them off. Sasuke was being forced to work overtime tonight, so Naruto was happy to oblige when he asked for, or more demanded, a morning fuck to tide him over to the next day. The blonde knew that the dull pain in his arse was going to upset his work tonight, and the bosses at Ichiraku, the biggest and most famous Japanese restaurant in London, were already unhappy with him. Naruto finally gathered up all of his clothes, and was about to head to the shower when he heard a knock on the door. He groaned. There's only one person who would be calling this early in the morning, he thought to himself, before wrapping himself up in a towel and opening the door, to see exactly who he thought he would.
"Mornin' Sai" He said, trying to sound cheerful as Sasuke's next door neighbour and ex-boyfriend stood in the doorframe, irritated look on his face.
"Your early morning sex-fest woke me up, dickless. I was hoping to have a lie-in before my gallery exhibition tonight, but apparently it was not meant to be." Sai spoke in his usual monotone; however the flash of his eyes betrayed his annoyance.
"Sorry about that -ttebayo, you know how Sasuke is, right? Good luck with your exhibition anyway, got to go, bye!" Naruto spoke with haste as he tried to close the door on Sai, frowning as the other stuck his foot in the door.
"I'm not finished. You are coming tonight, aren't you?" He asked, peering through the crack in the door.
"Sorry, but I can't make it tonight, I'm on late shift at the restaurant -ttebayo. Next time?" The blonde quickly asked, in an attempt to remedy the disappointment on Sai's face.
"That's what you always say..." The artist started to speak, but trailed off as a serious look filled his features. "You know, I have a rule to only say this once to each of Sasuke's sexual partners, but it seems that I have to tell you again, as my previous warning didn't seem to penetrate your thick skull. Stay away from Sasuke. He's using you for your body, and as soon as someone he deems more attractive comes along and shows an interest, he's going to drop you and move on. Who knows? Maybe he already has."
"Whatever Sai, I know the story. Just because he dumped you don't mean he's going to do it to me. Sasuke and I have something special, and obviously your ego can't take that, -ttebayo." Naruto fought back, defiant, even though a small portion of his mind wondered whether what Sai said was true.
"Something special, huh? You ought to ask him how many people he's said that to."
Naruto was dumbstruck. He had never wanted to comprehend the idea that Sasuke might not feel for him the same way as he did. He opened his mouth to argue against the other, but as he caught the artist's stare, the two locked eyes, and onyx met sapphire in a look which felt like it could burn holes through a wall, rendering Naruto silent. Eventually the blonde lost his nerve and looked away, watching as Sai removed his foot from the door and headed down the corridor into his own apartment, waiting until he heard the door close before closing his own door and heading to the shower.
~x~
Naruto stood in the shower, letting the hot water cascade down his back and over his face. The blonde was too preoccupied with his thoughts to concentrate on washing himself and his hair, as he pondered the seed of doubt Sai had planted in his mind. Could Sasuke be cheating on him? He did seem to be having a lot of overtime at the moment, though with the recession and all that wasn't exactly surprising. Naruto's own workload had increased too, so he knew how it felt. But staying at the office overnight because a project took so long to complete it wasn't worth coming home? The blonde wasn't entirely sure what Sasuke's job involved, but he doubted any job meant staying so late into the night. Nothing that was worth Sasuke's wage, anyway. And there were so many out-of-hours meetings! Surely that had to be illegal, keeping workers after work for hours at a time with no overtime pay. Naruto ran a hand through sopping wet hair, pressing the heel of his palm to his forehead in an attempt to come up with a solution, but all he ended up with was the beginnings of a headache. Bugger. As the water started to run cold and Naruto rushed around, trying to get finished before the shower got to ice cold, he decided to push the issue to the back of his mind, when he could think straight. I've got work in two hours. I'll think about it when I get home.
~x~
By the next time Naruto saw Sasuke, he had made his mind up. I'm going to end it with him, tonight. Even though the blonde still had feelings for the other, the chance that he could be cheating on him, or just straight up lying about what he was doing, outweighed his feelings for the raven. So, Naruto sat on the sofa of Sasuke's apartment, legs crossed as he watched the other enter the house, hang up his coat, toe off his shoes and sit beside him. Immediately, the raven's wandering hands made their way to the button of his jeans, but Naruto pushed it away, turning to face the other and taking in his expression. Aside from a slight hint of confusion, there was nothing there. Sasuke's face was a blank canvas. Sighing, Naruto made eye contact with the other, serious look on his face.
"'M sorry Sasuke, but I don't think I can be in a relationship with you anymore." Immediately, the other's face became icy cold.
"What?"
"I just feel like we only ever see each other when we're having sex, -ttebayo! Plus, recently, you seem so distant-"
"I'm sorry." Sasuke interrupted the blonde, sadness and regret now blooming over his features. "It's just, I've been so busy at work, I hardly have the time to see you...but I'll take some time off next week, we can have some time alone if you want? I don't want to finish with you." Naruto blinked at the other's words. He'd take time off for me? He loves his job! Sai was wrong...he really does love me.
"You don't have to go to all of that trouble just for me, Sasuke. I'm sorry I overreacted. I love you."
"And I, you" The raven mumbled, and as the two of them locked lips, it dawned on Naruto that, during their whole conversation, Sasuke hadn't looked him in the eye once.
~x~
Sasuke left the apartment, leaving Naruto to his own devices, taking the elevator down to the garages and driving his BMW out into the busy London streets. The raven had told his partner that he had received a text from his boss, ordering him to 'get his ass into the office, there's an emergency meeting starting in fifteen minutes'. But, he lied. Driving straight past his office building, a satisfied smirk bloomed on his lips as he thought about what had gone on with the blonde earlier. Of course he only wanted to see Naruto for sex! The guy was a bore. A slice of pizza could hold a better conversation than he can. The two of them had no similar interests; their jobs, as well as their music, television, film and sports tastes were leagues apart. The only thing they really had in common was the fact that they were both gay. But, somehow, the blonde idiot had mustered up the courage to actually question him. I'll bet Sai had something to do with that. A frown dawned on his face at the thought of the other male, who, unfortunately, had him down to a T. The raven could admit, with no shame at all, that he was a player. Most of his partners could be considered lucky if they lasted longer than a month or so, but what could he say? Life was too short to settle down...or stick to one partner at a time.
Smiling a little as his destination came into view, Sasuke turned off into a multi-storey car park, parking, paying and sticking his ticket to the inside of his windscreen. The raven then took the elevator up to the sixth floor, crossing over into the adjoining apartment block and knocking on door 621, which opened quickly to reveal a barely dressed, and very horny, Suigetsu Hozuki. Sasuke grinned, stepping inside and toeing off his shoes before immediately capturing the other's lips in a kiss, hooking his thumbs in Suigetsu's boxers as the other frantically worked on the buttons of his shirt, quickly moving down to the button of his trousers. This was a well practiced routine for the two males; Suigetsu would send Sasuke a text when he 'needed' him, and the raven would blame his boss and head on over. The two of them had been meeting for sex for a couple of months now, and everything was working. Finally, they both stood naked in the hallway, and Sasuke ran his hand through the other's white hair (how he managed to bleach it that bright Sasuke had no idea), before pulling him into a kiss once more, walking him backwards into the bedroom.
~x~
Sasuke pulled out of the other male, collapsing on the bed beside him. As the two of them caught their breath, Sasuke draped his arm around Suigetsu's waist, propping himself up on his shoulder to meet the other's eyes.
"Would you object to this becoming a more regular thing?" The raven asked, pushing the hair off his face as Suigetsu's eyes widened in apparent surprise.
"Is that even a question? Obviously not." He said with a lopsided grin, pressing a kiss to the other's neck, before looking back up at the raven. "But what about that blonde idiot? Won't he notice?"
"Tch, doubt it. He's pretty wrapped up in his work, and as long as I fuck him occasionally he's happy." Sasuke said with a roll of his eyes, before rolling on top of the white-haired male, raising an eyebrow suggestively. "Another round?"
"Always." Suigetsu smirked, before attacking the other's lips.
~x~
Naruto frowned, glancing at the clock above the oven and crossing his arms across his chest with a sigh. Sasuke was meant to be home over two hours ago, and even though they didn't have much planned, the two of them had hardly seen each other since he proposed they split up last week, and the blonde had a feeling that it had something to do with it. Sasuke is spending way too much time in the office...but what else could he be doing? Naruto's train of thought was interrupted, however, as Sasuke finally entered the flat, kicking off his shoes and dropping his briefcase on the floor.
"Sorry I'm so late, traffic was horrendous." The raven said simply, hanging up his coat and suit jacket before collapsing on the sofa next to Naruto, who simply shrugged and flicked the TV on.
"It's fine, you're only my boyfriend, it's not like I want to see you or anything." He said icily, avoiding eye contact with Sasuke as much as he could.
"Don't be like that, it's not my fault! You're such an idiot..." Sasuke practically spat, anger obvious in his voice. Naruto had to force himself to keep his eyes focused on the television. The two of them knew that he wasn't exactly a genius, but Sasuke had never, never called him an idiot before. That was crossing the line.
"Am I? Fine then, teme, if that's how you feel, I'll see you later. I can't be bothered with this right now, -ttebayo." Naruto mumbled, using the nickname he had given Sasuke when they had first met; before he developed feelings for him. Grabbing his orange hoodie from the back of the sofa and getting up, the blonde pulled on his trainers and left the apartment, feeling the weight of Sasuke's angry gaze on his back as he closed the door.
Final A/N: Just to clarify for those of you who may be wondering, this fic is set in London. Ichiraku's is a fictional Japanese restaurant, and Sasuke works in a big office. Don't ask exactly what office, I don't know. Sai is an independent artist, because I'm so original :L Suigetsu is an antiques collector, I guess. That makes sense, right? Don't ask when the next chapter is coming, because to be frank, I'm not sure myself xD Check out my profile for a more recent update :)
