Once again I am writing a SasukexNaruto story! Teehee. Anyway, I started writing this one a long time ago and it's gone through quite a lot of changes. At first it was supposed to be all angst and drama, but I was like, 'I write enough of these already, thank you very much! -changes it to a funny and romantic story-' So there you go.
DISCLAIMER: -in a jail cell- I'll get you next time Masashi Kishimoto. I'll get you! -rattles the bars and has to be tazed-
Naruto: =-_-=() She did it again. -turns to the audience- Anyway, what she was SUPPOSED to say was: "I do not own any of these characters or the anime."
-sighs again and walks away-
________________________________________________________________________
Sasuke had his dark eyes locked on a certain blonde, blue eyed loudmouth who was, at the moment, beating the shit out of a tree trunk. Naruto's lean muscles were glistening with sweat in the sunlight as they stretched on the lithe body. Sasuke smirked, thinking of another reason those muscles would sweat.
The blonde stopped and Sasuke kept his eyes on Naruto as he picked up a bottle of water on the ground next to him and took a long drink, spilling some over his hot skin, the cool moisture making rivulets down his tanned torso. Sasuke shifted as a droplet of water made it's way down the side of Naruto's waist and inside his pants. The blonde's blue eyes turned and landed on Sasuke, widening before narrowing with the grin that stretched his lips.
"Hey Sasuke, what're you doing? I know you like to stare at me, but can't you do it a little more secretively?" He teased, jutting his hip out and resting a hand on it, striking a pose that caused Sasuke's imagination to whir into overdrive.
Sasuke, having gathered himself, turned away, his nose in the air. "Whatever, dobe." He scoffed.
Naruto laughed and picked up a towel from the bench that Sasuke was sitting on, "Don't call me that, teme." Walking away, he swung the towel around his neck, taking another gulp of water. Sasuke stood up and walked after him, his hands in his pockets, catching up easily to the smaller teen.
"Na, dobe," the blonde scowled, causing Sasuke to smirk, "You're looking-…" Sasuke was interrupted by a bubblegum haired girl.
"Sasuke! Naruto!" Smiling, Sakura waved at them both. Scowling at the interruption, Sasuke ignored the girl, but Naruto waved back, walking over to her.
"Hey Sakura!" He greeted, Sasuke following behind. Sakura threw her arms around Naruto's now dry shoulders and hugged him. A little too long and close for Sasuke's liking.
"Hey, Naruto, I have a question for you!" She jumped up and down on the balls of her feet and grinned, "This is also a question for you, Sasuke." She smiled at her two best friends.
"What is it, Sakura?" Naruto asked, grinning at the girl's silly antics, while Sasuke just "hn"-ed. Naruto didn't try to get Sakura to pay extra attention to him, like he used too when he was a naïve little genin. He had gotten over his childish crush on her three years ago, when Sasuke had…left, but came back.
"Weeellll," she dragged out, "I was just wondering if you two would like to come to my party tomorrow night!"
Naruto appeared to think. "Well, I don't know Sakura, I might have other plans," he teased, making Sakura whine, though she was smiling all the while. Sasuke just stood there, standing next to the blonde, closer than he usually did.
"Well, Sasuke, what do you think?" Naruto turned to the dark haired teen, surprising him. 'Since when did the dobe ask me what I thought?' Sasuke shrugged, while the little pervert in the back of his mind crossed it's fingers, hoping that Naruto would accept the party invitation. Naruto rolled his eyes and turned back to Sakura, answering that, yes, he would like to go. The pervert celebrated, Sasuke keeping his face carefully devoid of emotion as Sakura cheered, before she said she had to go and skipped away.
Naruto started walking in the direction of his apartment, not waiting for Sasuke to catch up. Sasuke watched him walk away before yelling out, a smirk curling his lips.
"Oi, dobe, see you at the party!"
Naruto looked over his shoulder, surprised, before smiling and waving, "See ya then, Sasuke-teme!" And he jogged off.
Sasuke's mind was definitely in the gutter as walked home, planning on taking a long, hot shower as soon as he entered the mansion.
The next night, Sasuke was getting ready for the party. He had to dress up as an animal for it and Sasuke happened to have a very…special outfit. As he slipped on the black leather boots, he blew a strand of blue black hair out of his face. Standing up, he checked out his reflection in the mirror. The boots matched the black leather pants that hugged his muscular legs which led up to a black rope around his waist that tucked his black silk shirt in. The shirt was open, showing his pale strong chest and there was a silver snake chain around his neck. There was also, as the party insisted with the animal theme, black wolf ears sticking out of his hair and a black wolf tail jutting out of his pants. Smirking, he thought of how Naruto would react. But of course, the thoughts that Sasuke had were a little perverted. He took one last look, checking to see if everything was as it should be, then he turned and walked out the door.
When Sasuke got to Sakura's place, the building was already vibrating with the bass of the music and had lights down the path to the entrance. After Sasuke knocked on the door, it was opened by none other than Sakura. When she saw Sasuke, her eyes widened and she grinned.
"Hey, Sasuke," The pink swan welcomed, that mischievous smirk still on her face, "Welcome to the party…" She trailed off as she saw that he wasn't interested in what she had to say. Gesturing him inside, she stepped back. As Sasuke walked by her into the turmoil, Sakura rubbed her hands together, almost tasting the sexual tension in the air, 'Which is a very interesting flavor.' The bubblegum haired girl thought, giggling.
Sasuke ignored the smirking Sakura, his eyes roaming the crowded room, looking for a certain blonde.
"Hey Sasuke!" Kiba walked over to him, "Nice outfit! Trying to impress someone?" The dog lover raised an eyebrow at Sasuke. Sasuke smirked at the brunette, who was dressed as (what else?) a dog.
"Maybe I am, Inuzuka."
Kiba grinned and gestured at the room. "Well, then. Which hottie is she?"
"She?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow, "Who said it was a 'she'?"
Kiba started. "It's a guy?" He asked, his peculiar eyes wide. Sasuke only turned his head to look around the room again. Dog boy kept his eyes on Sasuke as he thought about this weird conclusion. Sasuke was gay? 'Whoa…that was something I wasn't expecting.' But Kiba shrugged. He knew plenty enough of gay guys that he was cool with it. He was only surprised that Mr. 'I'm so cool' Uchiha was gay.
"So?" He ask, causing Sasuke to turn back to him, an impatient glint in his dark eyes.
"So what?"
"So…who is it?" Kiba's eyes glanced around the crowded room, then back to Sasuke. Sasuke only smirked and turned away.
"You'll see."
Kiba scowled and stalked away, his own eyes searching for Hinata, his girlfriend, who was dressed as a cat for the event.
Sasuke grew impatient quickly and started walking around the loud room, ignoring the girls who tried to get his attention. Finally, he saw Naruto. And boy, did his eyes grow wide.
Naruto, who was, at the moment, talking to Shikamaru, was dressed in black also, but his outfit was all soft cloth. His pants were snug, hugging his legs and showing every movement his muscles made. His top was all net, showing off his seal. It hugged his chest and it was designed like a low-cut tank top. His Anbu tattoo showed clearly. He had a red collar around his neck and red leather straps around his wrists. He was barefoot and best of all, had a golden fox tail poking out of his pants and golden fox ears sticking out of his hair.
Just as Sasuke was getting his bearings, Naruto turned to point something out to Shikamaru and his sapphire eyes landed on Sasuke. He seemed to freeze for a moment until the sloth poked his head, causing the blonde to turn away from Sasuke reluctantly and continue his conversation with the him. Sasuke smirked and walked over until he stood behind Naruto. Naruto stopped speaking and froze, feeling the taller teen behind him. Shikamaru raised one of his eyebrows before concluding that it would be best if he left. The genius stuck his hands in his pockets and disappeared to find Temari.
Sasuke put his hand on the blonde's shoulder, making Naruto jump and turn around, his blue eyes wide. Sasuke smirked as Naruto tried to get himself together.
"H-hey Sasuke," He said, grinning, his cheeks pink, "So, what do you think of the party so far?" Sasuke smirked.
"I don't know, dobe, I've only been here for a few minutes."
Naruto scowled, looking every bit the fox, "Don't call me that, teme! How would I know how long you've been here?!" He crossed his arms, looking at Sasuke defiantly. At that moment, Sai walked by, who, as his eyes roamed over Naruto's lithe figure, stopped and, grinning, greeted the blonde.
"Hey, Naruto, nice outfit, very sexy." The black panther smirked at the growl Sasuke sent his way. Naruto blushed and grinned.
"Thanks Sai, at least someone," He placed emphasis on the 'someone', gesturing with a nod of his head at Sasuke, who scowled, "complimented me." He smirked, showing sharp canines. Sai smiled and leaned in closer to Naruto, his eyes slowly going up and down the blonde's body, his smile growing into an appreciative smirk.
"Well, I, for one, am surprised no one has ask you to bed yet." Sai chuckled low at Naruto's blush, the blonde's big blue eyes wide. Sai slipped an arm over the shocked teen's shoulder, pulled him closer and smirked at Sasuke, who was growling and glaring murderously. Then he leaned down closed to Naruto's red face and whispered. "How about it, Foxy?"
Naruto blushed and stuttered, trying to get out of Sai's arm, but the other teen wouldn't let him go. Suddenly, Sasuke grabbed Sai's arm and twisted him around, throwing him into the wall. He put his elbow up to Sai's neck, but the panther was still smirking that strange little smile of his.
"Don't you dare touch what's mine!" Sasuke growled, his eyes turning into the Sharingan. "Next time you do, I'll make sure you won't have hands to touch him with." Snarling, he threw Sai away from him and Naruto. Sai only smirked, his eyes narrowed at Naruto, making the blonde squirm. Still smirking, Sai walked away. A few moments later, Naruto realized what Sasuke had said.
"Hey! What do you mean what's y-yours! I don't belong to you, bastard!" Naruto sputtered, his face growing pinker with frustration. Sasuke grabbed Naruto and pushed him into the wall, making the smaller teen squeak indignantly. Using both hands to trap the blonde's arms above his head, Sasuke leaned in closer, his knee pressing against Naruto's thigh. Sasuke brought his face closer to Naruto's and smirked.
"You might not be mine yet, dobe, but you will be soon. Very soon." Sasuke pressed against Naruto's thigh harder and closer to his groin, causing the younger teen to squirm and gasp. Sasuke leaned in closer and licked his cheek. Letting go, the dark wolf smirked and turned, disappearing into the party. Gasping and blushing, the fox stood there. 'What the hell had just happened?!?'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sasuke was looking for something to drink, preferably beer or something of that sort. 'But this IS Sakura's party,' Sasuke thought, subconsciously leaning his head to the side, hearing the bones in his neck pop. 'And I've always seen her as a low-weight.' His eyes landed on the table that propped a cooler that was open and portraying a collection of beers, wine coolers, and other such things. 'Hn…Guess I was wrong.'
Grabbing a beer and a wine cooler, he unscrewed the beer, taking a swig, then turned to get back to the dobe. 'Who was just so damn delicious with his legs open and gasping…' Sasuke's thoughts turned considerably perverted and he licked his lips, his black eyes shimmering with lust. He sped his walking up until he got to the spot where he left the dobe. He zeroed in on Naruto with the practiced eye of looking for the loudmouth, but his smirk quickly shifted into a frown when he saw Gaara talking with the blonde. Uchiha's were notoriously possessive.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The raccoon-dog walked into the door housing the party, his pale blue-green eyes shadowed by his deep crimson hair. He was dressed in his normal clothes but had begrudgingly added a ringed tail and a pair of ears to his wardrobe. Looking around at the people whom he wasn't the friendliest with, he saw Naruto. He smiled, a rare occurrence, as he walked up to the fox, who was leaning against a wall, his eyes wide and his pale pink lips forming a 'o'.
"Hey Naruto." He greeted, looking down at the blonde. Naruto's eyes snapped back to normal as he recognized Gaara.
"Hey Gaara! Wow, you came? I didn't think you would. You really don't seem like the party type." Naruto exclaimed, patting the Kazekage on his shoulder, which looked silly considering that Gaara was at least 10 inches taller than the blonde's 5'3.
"Well, I only came for one thing." Gaara said, trying not to chuckle at the cute blonde fox.
"What's that Gaara? Is it a girl?" Naruto's smile grew larger. Seeing Naruto so excited and happy was a gift to Gaara, who had seen Naruto at his worst.
"Not exactly," Gaara smiled, "It's not because of a girl." Naruto's smile faded into a frown and his eyebrows squeezed together as he tried to figure out the enigma that was Suboku no Gaara.
"Well then, what is it?"
"You'll find out." Ignoring Naruto's protests Gaara continued, "Maybe you'll even find out tonight." Naruto beamed, sticking out his fingers in his trademark victory sign.
"Ok then Gaara! But if you forget, prepare to be tortured!" Naruto's laughter quickly faded as he saw Sasuke approaching with his lips curled into a snarl. Eyes widening, the blonde scooted behind Gaara. The red head, confused, looked at Sasuke and immediately his own lips formed a frown.
"Hello, Gaara-san," Sasuke 'politely' greeted, his eyes narrowed. Gaara's frown deepened as he realized the wolf's snarl was more possessive than anything else. His pale eyes widened as he figured it out. 'Duh, Sasuke likes Naruto.' Feeling a little possessive himself, Gaara reached an arm behind him and slid it around Naruto's shoulder. Feeling the blonde freeze, not wanting to relinquish his shield, Gaara turned to him and smiled reassuringly. Naruto hesitantly stepped forward, a little closer to Gaara than to Sasuke. Sasuke scowled and stood up straight, showing off his 5 inch gain on Gaara. The raccoon-dog almost laughed. Sasuke was acting just like a wolf, puffing out his chest and strutting his stuff for the fox-boy. Allowing a smirk to curl his lips, Gaara drew the smaller teen closer to him, watching with amusement as Sasuke's eyes grew more and more enraged. Suddenly Gaara was hit with a feeling so deep that it surprised him. He was angry. He was annoyed. He was, fuck, he was…'I'm jealous. Just like Uchiha.'
Growling, Gaara pushed Naruto back behind him, ignoring the squawk from the blonde. Stepping closer to Sasuke, the raccoon-dog bared his teeth, prepared to defend his territory. Sasuke answered his snarl with a growl, also stepping closer.
"Leave him alone, he's mine!" Sasuke clenched his fists. Gaara scoffed.
"Since when has he been yours, Uchiha? You've always been a bastard to him. Treating him like he's not worth your attention and calling him," the raccoon-dog spat out the word, "weak."
The older teens ignored Naruto's protests as he tried to pry them apart. Their bodies rigid, the wolf and raccoon-dog started circling each other, as predators guarding their territory. Sasuke's eyes shifted into the sharingan.
He had to accept Gaara's words, since they were true, which hurt, to say the least. Glancing at the frantic fox, his eyes softened. Naruto was his light. His reason for living. The only reason why, after killing Orochimaru, Itachi, which he now seriously regretted, most of the Akatsuki, and the village's backstabbing elders (Denzou, the Hokage's advisors, ect.), he had come back to the damn leaf village. Naruto had even stopped him from making a huge mistake. Taking his own life.
Sasuke watched Naruto, who was, with wide eyes and trembling lips, trying to stop them from erupting into a fight. A single tear trailed down the fox boy's whiskered cheek, only visible because of the light coming from a floor lamp nearby breaking across his face.
Sasuke, startled, stepped back from Gaara. The raccoon-dog was lost in his jealousy and pounced forward to ram a fist into Sasuke's face while he was distracted. Suddenly, Naruto leapt in front of the flying fist, taking the hit instead of letting it reach Sasuke. The blonde snapped backwards, out cold, and started falling, but Sasuke quickly caught him in his arms. Eyes wide, Gaara, stepped back.
"No…that wasn't supposed to happen!" Clenching his fists, the raccoon-dog turned and walked into the crowd, shoving his way out.
With the blonde in his arms, Sasuke held Naruto close, wiping away the blood dripping from his split lip. Naruto's eyes flickered, but stayed closed. The crowd that had gathered around the three gasped collectively as Sasuke leaned down and kissed the fox boy's swollen bottom lip tenderly. Sasuke smiled softly.
"Naruto, I've been wanting to tell you something." The wolf gently stroked the fox's scarred cheek with the back of his fingers. "And I've been wanting to tell you for so long." He knew the blonde couldn't hear him, but he would repeat himself later.
Sakura, who had seen the event from the beginning, began to push people away from the scene, smiling softly at the couple, knowing that this would have most likely happened. The looks Sasuke always gave Naruto when he wasn't looking. The smiles that were only reserved for the loudmouth. Sasuke throwing his life away for Naruto. Sakura had hoped that Sasuke would fall for her, but her crush on him was fading and if he was happy with Naruto, and Naruto was happy with him, then she was happy. Those two were her best friends and she'd do anything for them.
Sasuke picked Naruto up and walked to the front door. Looking back, his eyes spotted Sakura smiling at the two. Smiling with sincerity at the pink haired girl, the wolf turned and walked out of the party, heading for his mansion in the Uchiha clan's section of the town.
