Unfulfilled Desires

"I-I think you should go home now…"

It was as simple as that. That one sentence ended all of Sasuke's plans for that night. Poof. Gone; as if they've never existed. You see, the day started off as usual. Sasuke got up, begrudgingly went to work, worked half-ass, and then thankfully went home to his house that he shared with his over protective older brother. That's when his boyfriend for three months asked him to come over. Right away, Sasuke thought to himself, "Yes! This is my chance!" Now, Sasuke isn't usually much of a horn dog, but can you blame him? Was it even legal to be that cute? Who's this oh-so-dear boyfriend of which I speak? I'm pretty sure you have a good guess.

Naruto Uzumaki. The two had confessed to each other exactly—well almost—three months ago. It was quite funny really, both blurting it out at the exact same time. Things like that don't often happen; it was just one of those once in a lifetime things, I guess. Their relationship wasn't hidden, or a secret, like so many others may think. They were actually pretty open about it; with time, people began to accept it. Anyways, back to the point, the two have been dating for this long and still…haven't done "it." Sasuke had made this quite apparent. He's clued Naruto with suggestive hints for a long time now, but to his unfortunate-ness, Naruto just couldn't grasp the hint. It was like he was clueless. Sasuke cannot count the many times he's begun something where Naruto abruptly ended it.

The reasoning behind this obnoxious obsession of Sasuke, however, isn't the plain fact that he wanted to get into Naruto's pants. It was more of a connection he was seeking, rather than a perverted motive, that kept him moving. He wanted to share something so special with Naruto; sure they've experienced things like each other's first kiss, or first one on one date…or even first roller coaster puking…but nothing as special as this. Sasuke had to admit it…he was a sucker for romantic "connections" like that.

Anyways, the two had been just hanging out the whole afternoon, doing what all couples do—no, not that—talk, watch movies, etc… When the oh-so cliché action movie ended, Sasuke decided this was his chance. The dark haired Uchiha shifted in his seat. He placed a delicate hand on Naruto's whiskered cheek and turned the blonde's face towards his. He tenderly caressed the tanned skin. Naruto's deep blue eyes met with contrasting onyx colored ones. Sasuke slowly closed the distance between their lips, tilting his head slightly. He closed his eyes, as did Naruto.

The sensation of Naruto's soft lips touching his own was enough to make Sasuke faint. He never really had gotten used to the feelings that Naruto caused him to have. As useless as it was, Sasuke just couldn't get himself past the 'first kiss' feeling every time his lips touched Naruto's.

Sasuke shifted his hand from Naruto's cheek, to his back. His other hand slid its way to the back of Naruto's hair, intertwining his fingers with Naruto's blonde locks. Sasuke slipped his tongue into Naruto's mouth with ease; Naruto had gotten past the point of resistance long ago. Sasuke felt Naruto's own hands place upon his back, gripping his shirt loosely. He tilted his head more, bobbing it into the kiss. The kiss wasn't fierce, it didn't need to be, the intensity of each other's presence was enough to thrill the two. Sasuke's heart almost skipped a beat when he heard a soft moan escape from Naruto's mouth into his own. He also heard Naruto's heavy breathing, along with his own. This excited him of course, and he figured if not now…when?

Sasuke gently began to lay Naruto down on the couch, pushing him back with as little forcefulness as possible. He took his slightly shaking hand and guided it along Naruto's torso. This action caused Naruto's own shirt to rise up a bit. Sasuke adjusted himself over Naruto; although, he did not lie on top of him. That's when it happened…

Naruto placed his hand on Sasuke's chest and pushed lightly. "I-I think you should go home now…" He said when he pulled away from the intimate kiss. His heavy breathing made his voice very whispery. Sasuke felt as if a freight truck had just hit him straight on. Was Naruto serious? All this leading up to it…and…nothin'?! Sasuke didn't say a word; he only kept his position on top of Naruto. There was a short pause; Sasuke took in a deep breath and closed his eyes. He ran his hand through his hair, using his fingers as a temporary comb. Naruto let a concerned look cross his feature. Had he done something to upset Sasuke? Reopening his eyes and letting out his breath, Sasuke smiled. Not one of those full teeth ones, but a smile none the less.

"Yeah. You're right." He said. With this, he gave up his position atop of Naruto. Naruto smiled as well, as he got up from the couch. He gazed over at the television screen; the credits were still scrolling their way on the screen. He looked at his watch; 7:00. That was a good time to have a boyfriend leave…wasn't it? To be honest, the whole thing was still a blur to him. Ever since that day when he confessed to Sasuke, things have been moving at lightning speed. Naruto had never been the type to have a relationship; he's only ever had his family friend Iruka to look after him. Sure, he has a few work friends…but nothing as serious as this. So many times Naruto wanted to show Sasuke just how much he wanted to thank him. To show Sasuke just how much he's impacted his life. But, Naruto is new to this…so he figured that being there for Sasuke was enough. (Aah, Naruto's so innocent. I love it!)

Naruto and Sasuke walked to the front door. Naruto stood against the living room door frame as Sasuke put his shoes on. When Sasuke looked up, Naruto took his coat from the stairs railing and handed to him.

"Thanks." Sasuke said; a hint of disappointment lingered in his voice. This startled Naruto, was something wrong? Naruto let his gaze fall to his feet, he chewed his lower lip. This is when he felt Sasuke's hand go on his shoulder. Looking up, Naruto met Sasuke's eyes. "Something wrong?" Sasuke said calmly. Naruto averted his eyes.

"U-um..no. Not really…"

"Not really?" Sasuke questioned; his voice becoming more dominate. Naruto loved when Sasuke got that way. He was—how to you explain it—like a pit bull, getting protective over something. Naruto couldn't help but smile at the mental image.

"No. It's really nothing. Just thinking stupid thoughts." Naruto lightly punched his head, and laughed.

"Hn. Well that's not unusual…" Sasuke's face contorted into one of his original smirks.

"Wha? Hey! Don't say tha--" Naruto was caught off guard when Sasuke planted a kiss on his lips. The silence Naruto's house made the small "smack" sound when Sasuke pulled away seem louder than it should have been. Naruto's cheeks grew a light shade a red when he looked into Sasuke's eyes.

"See ya." He said before he turned and took his leave. Naruto, still a little feathery from the sweet kiss, waved a weak hand. "B-bye…" He responded while he watched Sasuke walk to his car. The newly darkened sky made it quite difficult to see much though. Naruto keep his gaze on Sasuke's car as it pulled out of the driveway and made its way down the street, he watched it till his headlights where impossible to see anymore. It didn't take very long anyways, the streets around Naruto's house have always been poorly lit. With a smile and a sigh, Naruto turned around and head back into this house.

Sasuke drove in silence; he wasn't much of a music person really. Like his dad had always told him "Silence is golden!" He smiled, thinking about the obvious duck tape joke that always followed that saying. The young Uchiha couldn't help but feel a little disappointed after what just happened. Although, this wasn't the first time Naruto had stopped so suddenly.

"There must be a reason behind it. Nobody is that clueless…" Sasuke spoke out loud, his attention on the upcoming stop light. "Could it be that he doesn't want to? Or maybe he's scared?" Sasuke contemplated on the thought while slowing his car to a stop at the red light. Gazing to his right, he saw nothing but open fields that outstretched against the starry sky. He drummed his fingers on the cold leather steering wheel. "Come on…this light is always so fricken long…" He spoke to himself again. He had a habit of doing that…

Sasuke got lost in his thoughts again, as he waited for the light to change. He kept his eyes on the fields beside him. In his peripheral vision he saw a flash of green, instantly he pushed his accelerator; not hard though, Sasuke was a careful driver. Just as he got into the middle of the intersection, it happened—

A speeding SUV blew the red obvious red light, ramming straight on into Sasuke's car. A full on, high speed collision. The sudden blow gave Sasuke's body no time to react. No yell, no scream…nothing. There was a loud crashing sound, accompanied by an extreme cave-in of the left side of Sasuke's car. Sasuke was forced sideways; he was helplessly flung about as his car did multiple rolls. He felt a tight burning sensation against his neck; his seat belt was rubbing violently against his skin; this caused him to let out a short gagging sound. Broken shards of glass flew about, jabbing Sasuke's body every which way.
A loud clanging sound shrieked as a shard of metal broke off from his seatbelt. A strong, unknown force hurled Sasuke up and out of his car door—which was not there—long broken off at the very beginning of the impact. Within seconds, his body was tossed upon the hard ground; skidding and rolling for quite a distance. The strong contact against the concrete burned as it cut open his delicate skin.

His car had fallen in a grassy ditch on the side of the road. The force of the crash was so great that it had caused his car to roll all the way there. Sasuke's limp body lay on the loose gravel that edged the road. His brain pounded hard against his head; pain coursed through his veins. Everything started becoming dark. Bubbles of black invaded his view, making his sight eventually gone. And with not even a second to spare…he lost consciousness.

Sasuke groaned, his mouth closed, as he slowly came to. He slowly opened his eyes; finding it quite difficult seeing as they felt like lead. It was still dark; he hadn't been unconscious for too long. Turning his head, Sasuke's blurry view showed him his car. It had an odd curvature to it, like it had been forcefully wrapped around an object. Steadily, he conjured up enough strength to get up. His body ached in protest as he forced himself to stand up straight. A trickle of blood raced down his left cheek. A bleeding cut, just above his eyebrow, stung when he placed his fingers on it. He let out a small grunt as he clenched his teeth.

Bit by bit, it all started to come back to Sasuke. He had been in a full on collision with someone, but who? He looked around, the poorly lit street made it near impossible to see anything, but he could tell…whoever had hit him was long gone. "Shit!" Sasuke cussed loudly, his anger bubbled up inside of him. What was he supposed to do now? He didn't have his cell phone, so he couldn't call anyone and it wasn't like he could get into his car for anything. So, Sasuke did the first thing that came to his mind. He began walking—limping—towards Naruto's house.

It had taken quite a while to get to Naruto's house, but that didn't matter to Sasuke, once he saw Naruto's house in sight he let out a thankful sigh. No lights were on; Naruto had probably gone to bed long ago. "It must be pretty late…" Sasuke thought. He made his way up to the cement stoop in front of Naruto's door. Sasuke fished in his ripped jeans' pocket for his key (yes, Naruto was dumb enough to give the horn dog a key…), he found it quickly. When he inserted the key in the lock and turned it, something odd happened. The door didn't open. Sasuke tilted an eyebrow.

"Come on…you stupid…thing…" He twisted the key over and over and turned the doorknob; nothing. The door didn't budge. "What the hell?" He continued to make a ruckus with the lock; it made the usual 'clicking' noise, but it still stayed shut. Sasuke gave up (unusual for him..but hey, can you blame him? He was just in an accident!) and began knocking on the door. As he knocked, his feelings finally began to catch up to him. His heart began to race, and his breathing became hectic. He felt his body move on its own; he practically laid himself upon the wooden door. He knocked louder.

"N-Naruto! Naruto open up! Pl-please!" His voice began quivering; it crack on the 'please' part. Just then, the lights in Naruto's window on the second floor shinned. Soon after, the ones from his stair case shone as well. Sasuke stopped knocking and stepped back a little. He heard Naruto's angry voice calling from inside.

"Alright! Alright! Hold your flippin' horses!" His voice got louder as he got closer to the door. "Wh-AAT?" He yelled as he flung open the door. Sasuke was a bit startled by Naruto's anger, but he knew that when he caught a glimpse of him in this state, he wouldn't dare be angry. Oddly enough, Naruto's expression stayed the same as he looked directly at Sasuke. Sasuke smiled sheepishly and lifted his hands to start to explain what happened.

"I--" Just as he opened his mouth to speak, Naruto furrowed his brows and curled up a corner of his lip. "Tssh," was all he said before slamming the door shut, leaving Sasuke speechless. Was that really Naruto? How could he just leave Sasuke out in the cold night, in his current condition? Sasuke's hands began to quiver as his thoughts got the better of him. "W-was it something I did? Is it because of my pushiness that got Naruto this angry at me? B-but I was so careful not to do anything he didn't want to…" His eyes became wide at a sudden—but biased—realization. "All this time…he was probably subduing his anger towards me. T-tonight was probably the straw that broke the camel's back!"

Sasuke dropped his gaze to his feet. What was he to do now? The only thing that came to his heartbroken mind was…"go home." And he did. Slowly but surely…Sasuke made his way into the darkness…walking—limping—home. The event filled night had put his body into such shock, that it wore him out to no end. He figured a nice long sleep was needed. When he wakes up—he told himself—he would set things straight Naruto. (Funny how his demolished car just seemed to escape his mind!)
