"The shattering of a heart when being broken is the loudest quiet ever."

Chapter 01: Fight

When Naruto woke up, the air was filled with the sweet smell of pancakes. He got up and rubbed his eyes. It was a lazy Sunday. When they were done with their activities last night it was 3 a.m. Naruto looked at clock. It was 10 a.m. now, 'I slept for quite a long time.'

He got up, folded the blanket and made the bed. He brushed his teeth and took a shower. He took a lilac shirt and black trousers. After dressing up he came out of bedroom and headed to the kitchen.

Naruto's brows were knitted together. It was obvious that he was thinking something serious. He looked inside the kitchen. Sasuke was pouring syrup on pancakes. Sasuke was wearing a white shirt and blue jeans. The top two buttons were unbuttoned, showing the pale skin and Naruto eyed his beautiful but cold lover.

Just then Sasuke noticed him and looked his way. Naruto smiled at him lovingly.

Sasuke gave a small smile too before turning toward fridge. Naruto frowned on this cold attitude.

Naruto walked over to him. When Sasuke turned around and found Naruto standing in front of him Sasuke raised an eyebrow. Naruto narrowed his brows and leaned over Sasuke's face bringing their lips together for a kiss. It was a passionate kiss with Naruto dominating, nibbling at his lower lip and then sucking at it tenderly. Sasuke parted his lips and his hand cupped the back of Naruto's neck. Naruto thoroughly examined his cavity with his tongue and then sucked at Sasuke's tongue. They kissed deeply. When they broke the kiss both were breathing heavily. Sasuke pushed him aside and placed juice on the table and asked in a husky voice, "What was that for?" as Sasuke took a seat.

Naruto took a seat and said pouting, "You didn't say good morning." Naruto chewed his food.

"You are so childish. If you weren't so good in bed, you wouldn't be here." Sasuke sipped his drink.

"Oh Sasuke just admit it. You are in love with me. You love to take care of me," Naruto said smiling.

"Dream on," Sasuke snorted.

There was comfortable silence on table. Naruto was almost done when he remembered something. He looked at Sasuke thoughtfully.

Sasuke was sharp as ever. "If you have something to say then spit it out. You're making a stupid face."

Naruto grinned sheepishly, "Wow as observant as ever. And I do have something to say but I don't know how?"

"I'm listening." Sasuke was looking at him, his face stoic as ever.

Naruto inhaled deeply, "My boss gave me a marriage proposal."

Sasuke batted his eyes then sipped his juice, "Isn't that good then? If you marry your boss, he will definitely give you promotion."

"I'm serious Sasuke. He gave me the proposal to marry his daughter."

Sasuke eyed him, "What was your answer then?"

"Obviously I rejected him. But he is persistent. He told me to think over it." Naruto tried to calculate Sasuke's expression but failed like always.

"May I ask why you rejected him?" Sasuke asked monotonically.

"Why do you ask? Of course I'm committed to you! How can I possibly…"

"Wait. You rejected him because of me. Naruto tell me what is exactly your limit of stupidity? And what do you mean by commitment to me?" Sasuke seemed angry. His tone was harsh.

Naruto was surprised, "We are dating Sasuke. Aren't we? We have been together for like 4 years already."

"We are not dating. And we can't date. I've told you many times but you are an idiot. I've never thought of our relationship as dating."

"Then what are we Sasuke?" Naruto clenched his hands.

"Sex friends. What else." Sasuke averted his gaze.

Naruto felt his heart sinking, "Sex friends? Am I only a fuck buddy to you?"

"What else you think we can become? We are both men Naruto. We can fool around. Have sex. Share rent. But there is nothing else. And I have always told you, I don't have any feelings for you." Sasuke said coolly.

"You mean you can replace me? If it's not me, you can still have sex with whoever it is?" Naruto's head hung down. He was making circles with his fingers on the table.

"It's just sex Naruto. We do it because it feels good. And it's a good opportunity for you. If you want to marry her, don't hold back yourself for my sake." Sasuke then got up to clear table.

"Sasuke! You mean you are ok with me being with that girl? You don't feel anything about this?" Naruto looked up his lips trembling.

"No...I don't. We both have to marry someday. You have a good proposal at your hands. Take advantage. Eventually when I am offered a good proposal, I'll marry to. Its natural Naruto. Grow up now." Sasuke then turned to him, "But of course if your girl is not able to satisfy you we can always have sex." Sasuke's tone was very calmed yet sarcastic.

Naruto couldn't hold back any more as he looked at Sasuke. His beautiful yet cold lover. He wanted to push the man down, have his way with him, leaving love bites all over him to remind him who he belonged to. Naruto was itching to hear Sasuke scream his name in passion as Naruto fucked him into submission. But he couldn't. Not anymore. He thought over time that Sasuke's heart would melt, but those thoughts were not to be, he felt like a fool.

He got up and turned to leave, "You are a cold bastard Sasuke. I love you so much and this is what you are suggesting to me huh. Don't joke with me Sasuke. I was a fool for loving you. But I won't do it anymore." His voice trembled, his eyes welled up with tears and he quickly left kitchen.

Sasuke suddenly fisted his shirt over his heart. What was this sudden pang? Why was his heart was hurting? Sasuke sighed and shook his head and started to wash the dishes.

Naruto left the apartment with a heavy heart. He walked the footpath that lead to the park, calming himself so he wouldn't cry. Naruto entered the park and took a seat on a bench.

Naruto remembered when he and Sasuke first met. He was Bi and Sasuke was kind of Bi too, but he preferred guys more than girls. Their friendship grew and soon they both were taking steps together in their lives that was creating a path to adulthood. Their friendship developed into sharing an apartment. Then get drunk and then have sex. To move into one room. To sleep with Sasuke in his arms and then also waking up in Sasuke's arms. To laugh and to celebrate together. And then Sasuke said they weren't lovers. They weren't anything at all. Naruto felt his throat tighten up and tears welling in his eyes..

It was enough. He gave Sasuke four years of his life. It was time he gave up. He took his cell out of his pocket and dialed. When call was picked up, he cleared his throat.

"Hello sir, its Uzumaki."

"Yes son. How are you? It's such nice weather."

"Uh yeah. It is. Umm...Sir I thought about it again...the proposal." Naruto paused.

"And?"

"I'm sorry for rejecting before. It would be an honor for me to be your son in law," Naruto said in a graceful tone. His boss was very happy with his decision and invited him over for dinner. He accepted gratefully.

After the call ended he looked up at the sky. It was getting dark and it looked as it was going to rain. He sighed and got up to go to a bar to spend time until dinner.

Any comments?
