Chapter 1: Catalyst

"Get off of my bed before something precious comes up missing." Not even raising his voice an octave in his sleepy haze, the dark hair man glared. Pouting, the blond sank onto the mattress next to the raven, wrapping an arm around his waist. "Why have you been in such a shitty mood lately?" The blond whined. Aristocratic lips thinned. Idiot, asking a question he already knew the answer to. Or, maybe he gave the jackass too much credit. "Could it possibly be due to the fact that you are fucking my asshole of a brother? Now, get the fuck out of my bed." That arm tightened and the determination fueling him wavered slightly. The stupid blond had a way of getting under his skin. "I'm not leaving! So, what is the problem? It is not as if it's serious in any way. He thinks I'm fun." The blond started to run his hand gently through dark locks. Any resistance in the raven crumbled. Since he had been a child, he just loved how that felt.

For months, he had bitten back the question that had been driving him insane. The blonde's behavior gave him the opportunity, so he asked. "Why are you fucking him anyway?" Soft lips brushed against his ear. "Simple. Because you won't be with me, let alone fuck me." Sighing, the raven-haired man just rolled over, lying on his stomach. He expected that answer, more or less. Complicated was not a word that described the blond. And, he was normally a very honest person. "Dumbass, that attitude really tends piss me off!" Blankets shifted as the idiot slipped under them. Fingertips traced smooth skin, the blonde's head now pillowed by a shoulder. "Well, if you really wanted to put a stop the situation, you could." This was true. Yet the raven was not ready to give up his freedom. Especially not for someone that had an overactive imagination and a libido to match.

"At one time, I seriously considered it. But now, you couldn't pay me. You're just not worth it. " Soft lips pressed to the back of his neck. Just before he fell asleep, the blond whispered. "I love you." Typical listening for the blond. Really only hearing every other word. But, he had to admit. He did love Naruto Uzumaki.

He woke up in his bed alone. He stretched, predicting the blonde had not wandered too far. Glancing at the bedside table, he read the bright numbers. 5 a.m. Standing up, he walked to the railing, looking down into the living room. One of the balcony doors stood ajar. He could see the blond sitting down beside the door, a lit cigarette hanging from his lips. Tanned chest rising with every inhale and toned legs clad in orange pajama bottoms. Exquisite was the only word to describe him. A body that was close to perfection. The only flaw on him, were three tracks of scars on either side of his face, but they simply enhanced his beauty. In a previous life, Naruto had to have been one of the great jungle cats. The raven was sure of it.

Stepping down the short flight of steps, he stood behind the blond and pulled the cigarette from those slack lips. Bringing it to his mouth, he took a deep inhalation, watching as the blond rose to his feet. "I thought you'd left for a fuck." He sneered, blowing smoke out in a white-blue stream. The blond moved behind him, sliding one hand down the raven's torso and the other up his stomach. "Here is where I am needed at night, and here is where I shall remain." Gently, he once more kissed pale skin. He let himself relax into the blonds' grip. He had always received the same answer.

It had been like this since his sophomore year in high school, when he met Naruto. He was the one thing the raven couldn't help being sucked up in. The boy was chaos and calm all at the same time. It was enough to make crazy people sane, and vice-versa.

"It is raining pretty hard tonight." Thunder crackled, and lightening ripped through the sky. Naruto's grip tightened. The blond was never much for bad weather. "I know. It woke me out of a sound sleep." He kissed the raven's back, again. The raven took a long drag of the cigarette before tossing it off the balcony. He was not a completely heartless bastard. After all was said and done, he did love the dumbass. Lifting a hand, he laid it on one of the ones clutching his chest. "Did you take anything?" The blond nodded. "A couple of melatonin, about twenty minutes ago." Sasuke sighed heavily. Those pills should have kicked in by now. The blonde's fear had him too worked up.

"Come on, let's go back to bed." The blond always obeyed him, especially when it rained. The two slid into bed and Naruto laid his head on the raven's stomach. Grabbing the remote, he settled on a channel playing some random movie. Soothingly, he rubbed small circles on the blonde's back, like a mother would ease a fussy child back to sleep. An hour later, he could feel the change in breathing patterns that signified the blond was not amongst the awake. Stretching, he relaxed, letting sleep swoop in to claim him.

The sun started to creep into his room. He figured it had to be close to noon. He looked at the blond still lying on his stomach before looking at his clock, 10 a.m. He slid out of bed, leaving the blond sleeping. He went down the stairs to start the coffee pot and toast some bread. The blonde's attitude and the fact he chose to fuck his brother was still pissing him off. He cut up a peach over his granola, debating the blonde's immature logic. He knew the blond hadn't lied last night. But the blond never did anything without weighing the inconvenience it might cause him.

He sat at the dining room table scowling into his bowl of granola as he sipped his coffee. Tanned limbs draped around his neck and took the coffee from his hand. "You know, your whole attitude is really starting to weigh heavy on my nerves, dumbass." The blond chuckled. "Well, good morning to you too." The blond sat in the chair across from him and he slid the toast to Naruto. The blond bit into the toast as he rolled his eyes. The raven was too serious. "What? This was how you wanted it. So, this is how we are doing it. Your brother is just another person that fills my dance card." He took the cup of coffee back from Naruto and took a sip. "Okay. So why fuck him? Why fuck the one person I despise most in this world?" Naruto shrugged.

"He was convenient and was easy to convince." The raven slammed his fist on the table. "Fuck it Naruto. I just see myself getting even more livid." He got up to walk away, but those tan arms snaked around him again. "You're leaving me, now? You're leaving me alone. Because I can't do anything right?" He sighed. "No, Naruto. You are a fucking whore, but I am not going anywhere." He sighed as the tan arms disappeared back over his shoulders.

He lay back down in his bed and drifted back off to sleep. It was Saturday. There was no need to be awake. The next time the raven was awakened, it was to the sound of his cell phone. He could feel the blonde's cool breath on his back. Apparently, the prostitute was determined to stay close to home today. He shrugged as he answered the phone. "Sasuke Uchiha." There was a pause. "You still in bed, Uchiha? It is six in the evening." Sasuke heaved a sigh. "Neji Hyuuga, what do you want?" The pale-eyed male snickered. "Come play some pool and have few beers with me at the Catalyst. It's not like you are doing something else." Sasuke needed to get out of the house.

"Alright. Give me about thirty minutes." Neji hung up and Sasuke tossed the phone back on the bedside table. He moved slowly, so as to not disturb the blond. He went into the bathroom and turned on the shower. Peeling off his pajama pants, he grabbed his toothbrush and slipped under the spray. It was quicker if he multi-tasked. He stepped out of the shower and peeked into his room. Naruto was still asleep. He made his way over to his closet as he toweled off. Looking around for a bit, he pulled on some black boxer briefs. Dark boot-cut jeans were his next decision. He couldn't find his 'Def Leopard' tee, but managed to find his 'The Who' tee. He pulled it over his head, making a mental note to ask the dumbass where it was. He always wore Sasuke's tees, under his scrubs. The blond was still sleeping when he pulled the blanket over his still form. He slipped his phone and wallet into his back pockets. Making sure to quietly slip down the stairs, he pulled his keys from the fishbowl. Easing the door shut, he locked it behind him and left.

Eight games and three pitchers of beer later, the raven was losing badly. Neji was always a prick. Hanging out with him would be infinitely more fun if he were smashed. "I have to ask, because- Well, I have to ask." Sasuke knew it was going to be about the blond. It always was about the blond. No one understood their relationship. Hell not even Sasuke understood it at times. "Is he really fucking Itachi?" Sasuke sighed as he called his shot and sunk it. "Who did you hear that from?" Neji smirked. "Shino, of course. You know he tells me everything when I dick him down." Sasuke chuckled. "Yes, he is fucking the hell out of Itachi. I am not sure if it is anything more. Don't ask me." Sasuke called his next shot and sank that one.

"Is he sleeping in his room?" Sasuke snorted. "Does he ever?" Neji lifted his brow as he shook his head. "Exactly. He is still in my bed every night. They have been fucking for about three months now. But, you know better than any one that he would never stay the night." Neji frowned at the past. He too once had fallen victim to Naruto's addictive nature. The guy was like a horrible drug. "The few times I stayed the night, he slept with you." Sasuke nodded his head. "He is just that way. His attitude is starting to piss me off." Sasuke missed his shot.

"Like that is a big surprise. You have been dealing with his same shit for what, eight years? No, wait. Nine years?" Sasuke shrugged as he watched a pretty redheaded woman across the room. She had been watching him for a while. And, her friend was pretty too. "He just does that shit to piss me off and I am not in the mood for it this year." Neji followed the raven's gaze. "I say cuss him the fuck out. But, I can see you just taking the abuse. You two just have that power over one another. No matter how hard someone else pounds him into the mattress, he ends his nights with you. I want the brunette, she has killer thighs." Sasuke looked down, taking note of the women's legs. It looked like the girl had legs for days and she knew it. Why else would she keep crossing and uncrossing them?

Then again, Neji always made sure to really look at his prey. To debate if it would be worth the temporary nuisance she made. The smirk the Hyuuga wore said she was. Three hours later, he had a pretty little redhead with perfect tits quivering under him. She moaned and screamed his name when he slammed into her. She and her friend in the next room seem to be in time with one another. Or, was it him and Neji on the same schedule? Either way, both women screamed and begged in pleasure, 'More! Deeper! Please! Aww, fuck!' It was not hard to convince the two girls to let Neji and Sasuke go home with them. And, it was no surprise when they agreed to fuck. Women loved beautiful men. And when those beautiful men could fuck? It was like the cherry on top of a sundae.

These girls would soon be a faded memory. Or was it one more like a used condom in the trashcan of life? Neji loved Shino with all his soul. The raven was forced to admit he was the same about a certain idiot blond. For a while, Sasuke realized he had forgotten about the girl crying out his name under him. He looked down at her, trying to remember her name. 'Karin, I think?' He shrugged, slamming into her one more time. He let his orgasm spasm up his body and out his mouth, with a grunt. The girl, Karin, screamed out incoherently as she had her eighth orgasm of the night. Courtesy of the raven. He thought treating her to a nice ride was the least he could do. After all, this might be the last time he saw her, although she was a pretty good fuck. He may actually have to have another round, sometime in the near future.

He slid out of her and tugged the condom off. Pulling some tissue from the Kleenex box on the bedside table, he wiped himself clean and wrapped up the spent latex. He tossed everything into the metal trashcan next to the table. The girl kept talking while Sasuke redressed to leave. He really didn't care what was coming out of her mouth, but he looked at her anyway and smiled. She was speechless and when he kissed her forehead, she just blushed. "You have my number, Karin?" She nodded. "Come on, walk me to the door. Maybe next time we can do this the right way." She giggled stupidly; letting him lead her out of the room.

The four met in the hallway. Sasuke was sure Neji would feed the brunette the same tired ass line. Sasuke and Neji spoke in unison. "I will talk to you soon, right?" The girls just nodded unintelligently as the boys left. Neji looked at his watch. "Well, that wasn't a complete waste of my time." Sasuke nodded. "Let's get something to eat before we head home Uchiha." Sasuke just followed the pale-eyed male into a twenty-four hour diner. They used to often frequent this place when they were in college. He was eating a chicken club when his phone vibrated with a text. He flipped it open. The text read: Was hurting and I wanted to see who you were fucking.

Now the hurting part could be literally or figuratively. But, knowing the blond it was probably literally. Sasuke sighed as he closed the phone. "I have to go. I'll catch you later." Sasuke dumped some cash on the table before leaving the scene. When he opened the door to the flat, everything seemed fine. Nothing was disturbed. If it was figuratively, it was going to be literally by the time the raven was finished. He hurried up the stairs to his bedroom where the stupid blond laid unconscious. He gave him an once-over, taking note of the torn skin at his wrists and the bruises that covered the tan back.

He went to the closet and pulled off his clothes, then sliding into his pajama pants. He walked in the bathroom grabbing the first aid kit from under the sink. He sat beside the sleeping blond to clean and bandage the newly inflicted wounds. He would make sure to ask the dumbass what he did to cause such interesting wounds. He was doubly sure the answer would piss him the fuck off. Shrugging, he returned the kit to its rightful place below the sink. He slid into bed and turned his head to watch the blond. His life had never been the same since meeting the impossible dumbass.
