Anatomy Of A Tidal Wave
Chapter I:
Affairs Of The Heart
- - - - - - - - - -
Kyuubi watched as Naruto shuffled through the room making a mess in his wake, how his hands nervously fiddled with his orange mobile phone, pushing its buttons hurriedly.
"Naruto" he growled, fed up with ignoring for about twenty minutes.
"Huh? You wanted something?"
That's it! He snatched that hated object from his hands and turned it off. "What do I want?" he was losing his temper and it was a rare occasion when he was around Naruto. "When we finally meet after so long, you even don't pay attention to me! Maybe you even forgot that we're friends, huh?"
"No! I do care for you. It just…" his eyes were downcast, his blond locks hiding half of his face and his hands were ripping apart paper sheets, an opportunity to busy himself, now that his phone was with Kyuubi.
"I thought we've been through this once! I know that he hates my guts, but it's not a reason not to talk to me anymore or ignore me, for that matter!"
That…that controlling bastard! Oh, how he hated him and wanted to rip him apart into the tiny pieces instead of those papers.
Everything started when Naruto fell in love with Neji and they became a couple. At first, everything was fine and they got along pretty well until his boyfriend started to show signs of possessiveness and paranoia.
He started to claim that especially he wanted to corrupt his boyfriend by taking him to his trademark parties when he was out of town. Soon, Neji forbidden Naruto to see him, but they still continued to do so secretly until one day he somehow found out about it and got really mad. Too scared to lose his love, Naruto became and obedient boyfriend and it sickened him to no end.
"Sorry"
Fuck, now he was crying! "Come here" he softly whispered, extending his hands for an invitation.
Immediately the blonde-haired person was in the redhead's embrace, his head nestled down on his shoulders and his tan arms were snaked around his neck.
"I don't hate you, Naruto. I am just mad to see you like a lovesick puppy that is running after his master's commands. You're not an animal and he didn't deserved you at all if he even can't trust you"
"But he loves me…"
"Loves you? Are you kidding me? You even cannot go to the toilet without his permission! Is that how he loves you? For the sake of your sanity, Naruto, wake up from this horrible dream and search for the your happiness elsewhere, because with him you won't found any"
"No, no, no! You misunderstood something!" he shook his head violently, trying to escape from the embrace "He cares a lot fore me and he's trying to protect me, not to do any harm to me"
"Protect you from what? From your friends and from those who love you? You're still too naïve, Naruto" Kyuubi sighted, running his one hand through the silky blond hair, trying to soothe him from escaping.
No answer came from his friend, so he decided to continue. "You're locked like a bird in his cage here and don't try to deny it. When was the last time you saw Iruka "Naruto visibly flinched "or others? Do you know that Kiba started to take classes to become a vet? Hinata got rid of her stuttering, Sakura is dating a new guy, and Iruka is in the depression after he broke up with his lover"
"I didn't know"
"They still whish happiness for you and hopes that one day when you'll come to your senses, we all will laugh it off as a bad joke"
"Me too" he grinned honestly without any traces of fakeness in it "So, why are you here? I mean, you're risking coming here, you know…" he shifted his body to get more comfortable in his best friends arms.
"You know that my birthday is tomorrow, right?"
"Mhm"
"So I wanted to invite you there as my special guest. And besides, you need to freshen up a little" he stared to teasingly poke his ribs" and get laid with a different person"
"Kyuubi!"
He knew that his friend was furiously blushing, damn he was so innocent, but he was glad that Neji had not corrupted him, yet. "You know that what happens in my parties stays in the parties" he grinned, adding more fuel to Naruto's embarrassing moment.
"I can't go, Neji won't let me"
"Who the hell cares about him, huh? What he doesn't know, won't hurt him" he hated to do this, but he wanted Naruto to have some fun, hell he deserved it after so much torture. Therefore, there was the only option left, the guilty trip "Don't you want to see your friends and to celebrate my birthday? I'm your best friend Naruto and I honestly want to see you there"
He still looked not convinced, Kyuubi bit his lip "And I promise I won't bug you about getting laid with strangers"
"Fine, but I need to find a way how to hide it from Neji"
"Don't worry, everything is already prepared"
"You jerk! You this had planned perfectly, didn't you?" this earned him a hard hit into the back.
"Maybe" he grinned, satisfied with the results "Anyway, Tsunade will cover you up, so relax and start preparing to get plastered!"
"I'm starting to think that I made a huge mistake…"
"Now, no backing up, Naruto, you agreed" he stuck his tongue out and threw his friend on the bed, to tickle the living daylights out of him for all the trouble he had caused.

"Why are you here, Sasuke?"
The raven-haired boy crossed his arms and turned his head to the left side of the door, staring at the stray dog running outside, not daring to look into other male's eyes, trying to hide his true intentions under the blank face full of indifference.
"Vocation"
The redhead tried not to chuckle, knowing that it was an obvious lie. "Itachi kicked you out again?
"No"
"Oh?"
"He said that he wanted to have some quality time…alone"
"You know, Sasuke, sometimes I think that you purposely try to piss him off "
"And why would I do that?" finally glancing directly at those ruby eyes, he answered nonchalantly with a devilish smirk on his lips.
"I wonder why…"
It was not a first time that Sasuke showed up on his doorstep, claiming that he had nowhere to go and every time it was a different excuse to stay with him.
Last time if he remembers correctly he said that 'Itachi's sexual life affects his libido' or that 'his whole neighborhood was sick and he didn't want to risk his health, seeing how his exams were on his tail' or that 'he can't masturbate at home without any interruptions' and the list goes on and on.
However, despite Sasuke's obvious lies, he would always welcome him at his house; he was too soft for his own good, and he hated it.
Sight "Fine, you can stay here"
"Hn"
"You know the rules, do you?"
Sasuke started to glare at him; no rules apply to him, because all the rules naturally adjusted for the Uchiha and their needs and now he only wanted and desired the man who stood in front of him.
"Hn"
He always wondered why they broke up, Kyuubi had initiated it, and whenever he would ask, he will not get a truthful answer. Moreover, seeing as how Kyuubi had not had anyone after him, with his interfere of course, he figure it out that he may still have feelings for him and the only obstacle between them was the redhead's pride.
To put it frankly, he did not know whom he had to blame for it, because in his eyes, everything seemed and screamed so perfect. Maybe it was too perfect for him and he hated it?
For him, Kyuubi was his first one in everything and he cherished it much. He did not mind and did not complain about his attitude, antisocial skills, and his exhibitionist's nature and urges to cling and stay with him, until he was certain that everything was real and not one of those dreams from the fairy tales.
Everyone had such fantasies, but not all of them would express it openly, instead of hoping and enjoying it secretly.
Moreover, he still loved him and longed for his touches, kisses, their intimacy, which would show just how close they were and how perfectly their bodies blended when they were in harmony.
Therefore, he swore to himself once again to capture his heart.
Chapters will get longer. This one is shorter because it is like some sort of prologue.
