There are times in life when you know you could have made a difference, if only you had known the hardships to come. You find yourself frustrated and hurt, because you know... that if you had only done something... said something... anything... it could have been an end to a horrible beginning. There are times when you find yourself torn apart by self hatred and guilt because you know that if you had taken five seconds to try and understand... something could have been different...someone could have been saved, and you wouldn't have to be alone.
Naruto often looked back; wondering if he had just... tried to talk to him... tried to understand his suffering... would Sasuke be where he was now? Would he have abandoned them... if Naruto had confronted his friend... comforted him... offered a little understanding... would Sasuke have gone? Or, would that empty space between Naruto and Sakura still be filled by that sarcastic, arrogant prodigy that they used to call their friend. Naruto had overheard the Hokage say, that Sasuke had been slipping into darkness long before he had left... that his intentions had never been to remain in Konoha. That ripped at the blonds insides; knowing that everyone else had seen it coming... seen Sasuke slowly loosing himself... but he had remained blind. Knowing that his teammate, his friend had been fighting that darkness alone, ate away at the blonds insides and made him sick with boiling guilt. Knowing that in the end, Sasuke had finally given in to his blood lust and turned his back on all that was a memory to his former self... that made Naruto hate himself even more. He could have prevented it. He could have caught Sasuke as he was falling and helped him back into the light. Naruto could have been the one thing standing between Sasuke's decision to stay or to go. He'd been there; right there, if he'd only realized... if he had only... if he'd only told him that night.
That night: Naruto often wondered if it had been real at all. It was such a hazy memory; all heat, haste and need. He couldn't pin point the moment it had begun, nor could he gain a firm understanding of why or how it had occurred. His heart raced and his brain fogged over when he remembered the encounter, as though witnessing it through a clouded mirror.
He recalled the way his breath had caught when the raven had touched him, and how he had panted and called the boys name in time to a driving, hungry rhythm that drove him to a shuddering completion. Yes, he recalled those moments, but how it had started still remained unknown to the blond.
He had been angry; they both were that night. It was after Sasuke had challenged Naruto to the fight atop the hospital. Blinded by rage, the blond had accepted the challenge and they had fought. Never before had the two come that close to killing one another, and Naruto realized later that he should have seen what was to come of their relationship... he should have known the moment the raven began gathering his Chidori. The blond had thought it a betrayal, unaware that he too was preparing his own lethal attack. If it hadn't been for Sakura's interference... they probably would have killed each other. They left each other that day without a word, and Naruto assumed that the next time he saw Sasuke, they would just greet one another with a simple nod, and all would be forgiven.
But no, it would never be that way again. After that night; that strange surreal, dream of a night... nothing would ever be the same. They had changed everything with what they had done...
Naruto let out a soft breath and lay back on his pillows, staring up at the ceiling. His stomach was twisting with guilt and thoughts of his raven haired teammate. His mind reeled, trying to understand why the Uchiha would have done that... why he had attacked the blond that way, and why Naruto had been just as ready to attack back. Their relationship was always a source of confusion. Naruto didn't know whether Sasuke was his enemy or his best friend. There were times when the two would talk, work together, even joke around a little. But the smile on Sasuke's face always faded fast, and that distant look would always claim his onyx eyes again, and leave them in a cold silence. Naruto wished he had the ability to prolong that beautiful smile, to make that light that sometimes shone in the Uchiha's eyes to last more than a few moments. It was times like that Naruto wondered if he really knew Sasuke at all. He was so multi-layered; so filled with with emotion and passion, though his placid face would never elude to it. It always alarmed the blond when Sasuke would display his emotions; they always seemed so raw and genuine.
When he was angry, he burned like a passionate flame, filled with blood lust and determination. When he was cruel, he was as cold as the snow and as sharp as a razor. When he was hurt, he was as silent as the grave and as rigid as a bored. And when he was happy... Naruto liked that the best. A gentle smile would stretch over his perfect lips, and his eyes would hold a soft warmth that was almost unnoticeable unless you knew Sasuke personally. Naruto only wished he knew the Uchiha better. He wished he knew why Sasuke's eyes never shone with happiness; wished he knew why he wouldn't ever let anyone too close... wished he knew why they had been so close to killing each other that day.
At that moment, Naruto's thoughts were interrupted by a sound outside his window. He sat up, grabbing a kunai from his bedside table and sinking into a crouch, eyes narrowed and fixed on the window. A dark shape formed on the sill, holding still upon seeing the blond. Naruto squinted slightly, recognizing the others slim form and the manner in which he held himself...
"Sasuke?" he whispered, lowering the kunai ever so slightly. The figures head moved very slightly, and although Naruto couldn't really make his face in the darkness, he could tel that the Uchiha was looking at him now. He straightened up and scoffed, "Tch, teme. What do you think you're doing here? It's late." Slowly and gracefully, the figure slipped into his bedroom, straightening up to his full height. Naruto frowned a little, moving back slightly. "Sasuke?" he said again, tightening his grip on the kunai. Had he been to quick to assume? What if this wasn't Sasuke? What if it was someone impersonating him to get something from Naruto? The blonds mind immediately jumped to those two members from the Akatsuki that had come looking for him. The ones that Jiraiya had warned him about; that tall shark like man and... and Sasuke's brother. Naruto still got chills when he remembered the look in Sasuke's eyes when he had seen the elder Uchiha. If Naruto had to define pure hatred... that look would have been it.
He lifted the kunai and held it slightly before himself, furrowing his brow, and growling firmly, "Who are you?" The shadow before him stepped closer and Naruto was about to scramble back, but the other spoke and stopped him.
"Quiet, dobe... it's me." Ordinarily, Naruto would have hated the insult that had somehow become his nickname, but at the moment it calmed him. Only the real Sasuke would call him that in that tone. He lowered the kunai and nodded.
"Alright..." The dark shadow that was Sasuke moved forward and his face and figure came into the faint light of the moon. Naruto looked him over momentarily, then met his eyes firmly. Tension was thick in the air, and there was obvious purpose in the presence of the dark haired teen before him. Naruto looked away, rubbing the back of his neck, "so... why are you here... you've never come to see me before... seems like an odd time to visit."
"It's necessary," was the simple reply. Naruto looked up again, brows knitting together slightly.
"Is it? Why?" The Uchiha kept silent, continuing to look at the blond through the darkness. Naruto knew what this was about. "I-is it about what happened today?" he asked, his voice growing unconsciously softer. He wasn't sure why, but this situation was making him feel vulnerable. Sasuke looked away blankly, neck craned beautifully, exposing ivory skin.
Naruto sighed and made to turn on the light on the bedside table, but Sasuke's voice cut like glass through the silence.
"Don't." Naruto looked up at him, blinking. There was something very odd about this. Sasuke kept very still, his dark eyes fixed on Naruto through the darkness. Slowly, Naruto withdrew his hand, keeping eye contact with the other boy and biting his lip a little.
"Sasuke... is everything..." he trailed off, unsure of how to bridge the obvious gap between them. Sasuke kept silent, still watching the blond with strange eyes.
Naruto was starting to feel a little nervous; Sasuke was being weird. This whole thing was weird. Maybe it wasn't Sasuke after all. But something in the Uchiha's eyes was telling him that it was: that whatever this was about was giving the Uchiha a hard time, and that he too was struggling to find his words.
Naruto hunched his slim shoulders and chewed absently at his bottom lip, keeping his eyes down, fully aware that the other's were upon him. Then Sasuke moved; he stepped forward slowly, eyes still glued on the other boy before him. Naruto lifted his head a little as the Uchiha drew closer and stood before him. They looked at each other for a long moment, and Naruto posed the same question from before. "What are you doing here, Sasuke?" Yet, the words did not escape his lips with the firm quality he had meant them to possess; instead they sounded soft, almost feeble. He couldn't' find the power in his voice... the darkness in Sasuke's eyes had snatched it away without him even realizing.
But the blonds focus was suddenly elsewhere; Sasuke was leaning down towards him, reaching out and placing a hand at Naruto's slim neck, gripping it firmly. Naruto blinked and hunched his shoulders a little more. "S-sasuke?" he voiced softly and the other drew closer. Naruto's eyes studied the other, and he suddenly realized that Sasuke had a pack on his back. He frowned, looking at the Uchiha's face. "Sasuke... what are you doing with that bag?" But Sasuke simply shook his head and leaned closer whispering,
"I want you to understand something, Naruto." The blond blinked and met his eyes, very aware of how close they were to one another. Sasuke's other hand found it's way slowly to the blonds knee and rested there with obvious intention. Naruto shivered a little, unsure of what to do.
"Alright..." was his simple reply. Sasuke moved closer, and suddenly, Naruto found himself being pushed back, with the slightly taller boy moving over him. "Sasuke what-"
"I never hated you," Sasuke said, cutting the other off and pinning him down. The blond blinked and looked up in confusion, his brows knitting together.
"What?" he voiced softly, meeting the others dark eyes.
"I never hated you," the raven repeated, leaning closer, his dark bangs falling down over his eyes. Naruto frowned more,
"I don't... what's going on, Sasuke?" But the raven wasn't listening, or if he was, he obviously didn't feel the need to answer. Instead, he did something far more interesting. He leaned down... and kissed the blond. Naruto's eyes widened and his entire body froze. The kiss was light, yet lingering and possessed an almost sinister strength to it. Sasuke's lips were very firm against his, though he did not move them or attempt to deepen it further. Naruto could tell Sasuke was just as taken aback by his own action as Naruto was, and his body felt just as frozen. Naruto kept very still, shocked into submission and unable to move. Slowly, Sasuke broke the kiss, but his assault did not falter. His lips moved hungrily to the blonds throat and kissed longingly. Naruto's breath caught and he quivered, pulling back slightly and hunching his shoulders shyly.
"W-what are you-"
"I want you to understand," Sasuke murmured, moving in close and slipping his hands up beneath the blonds shirt, "that no matter what I've done... and what I may do..." he kissed the others neck again, "that I never hated you, Naruto..." Naruto's mind was completely frozen as the others lips continued gently pressing kisses to his heated skin. He felt the ravens cool hands caressing his back and he shivered involuntarily, biting his lip. He wasn't sure what to do; part of him wanted to punch Sasuke's lights out... but the other part wanted those lips and hands to continue touching him like that. Having never been touched in such an intimate way, he was shamefully enjoying the closeness... and that it was Sasuke... seemed to make sense in some strange way, and it made it all the more meaningful.
A soft gasp escaped his lips as Sasuke's teeth sunk momentarily into his shoulder and he sucked on the skin there, moving his body closer to the blond. Those wandering lips found Naruto's once again and kissed him firmly, plunging his tongue into the hot cavern of the smaller males mouth. Naruto heard another sound escape his throat that he refused to believe belonged to him, and he prayed that his companion had not heard it. But Sasuke, never missing a thing, seemed encouraged by the sound and before he knew it, Naruto was laying on his back on the bed with the raven leaning over him- their lips still glued together.
Naruto could feel a strange heat gathering in his stomach; pooling into his abdomen and leaving him with a raw, angry hunger. He vaguely heard a thunk as Sasuke let his pack slip off his shoulders and to the floor, pressing closer to Naruto. The blond made another soft sound as the slightly taller male pressed his body tightly to his, causing the heat in the blonds groin to grow. Sasuke broke the kiss and pushed the blonds shirt up with slightly shaking hands, avoiding the others gaze and leaning down to press his lips to the blonds chest. Naruto arched a little as Sasuke's tongue circled tentatively around one of his nipples, causing goosebumps to erupt over the once smooth surface of the blonds sunkissed skin.
"Ah..." he whimpered quietly, unable to think clearly. The tongue continued circling teasingly for a moment before lips closed over the flesh and sucked gently instead. Again, Naruto whimpered, afraid of pulling away, but equally frightened of staying.
The others lips traveled across his chest and gave his other nipple the same treatment, enticing yet another soft moan from his companion. "S-Sasuke-" Naruto tried, sitting up a little, a blush painted across his cheeks. Sasuke pushed him back again and pulled his shirt off all the way. Naruto shivered and shyly moved his hands over the seal on his stomach, turning his head to avoid the others gaze.
Sasuke merely examined the markings, then leaned down and traced the pattern with soft kisses. Naruto froze at the sensation; there were so many emotions inside him, he didn't know what to do. The fact that Sasuke hadn't turned away in disgust upon seeing his seal, or bombarded him with questions... that alone felt amazing. That along with the sensation of being kissed and licked in such a sensitive place... caused the haziness in his brain to increase, and his heart to beat viciously against his rib cage. The ravens tongue followed the course of the swirls, his hot breath sending shivers up Naruto's spine as it fanned out over his already heated skin. Heat was building in the blonds groin and there was an indescribable hunger growing deep inside him; he needed something he couldn't identify, but he knew since Sasuke was the cause... he had to be the answer.
"Hnn~" he arched a little as the Uchiha's teeth sunk into his hip, licking and sucking at the mark it had left. So intense was the heat clouding Naruto's brain, he didn't notice when Sasuke's hands moved to his waistband, unbuttoning and unzipping his pants in one swift, graceful motion, his tongue still following the seal on the others stomach. Naruto panted softly, his eyes closed and his head tilted back slightly. He could feel Sasuke's fingertips slide into his waistband, and his eyes snapped open as he felt his pants being pulled down his hips. He sat up quickly, head spinning, trying to stop the others movements. "W-what are you doing?" he asked, cheeks flushed and hair mussed. Sasuke looked up at him with heavily lidded eyes, lips slightly parted as his tongue swiped sensually across the expanse of his bottom lip. Naruto shivered, shoulders hunching. He'd suddenly realized why the all the girls found Sasuke so attractive.
"I want to give you something..." came the soft reply. If Naruto didn't already have goosebumps, the dangerous tone of his voice, and the feral glittering in Sasuke's onyx eyes sent them spreading across the blonds skin like wild fire. Unknowingly, he submitted, laying back on his elbows, his eyes still locked with the Uchiha's. Sasuke gave a small nod, leaning closer to the blonds face and pulling his pants down his hips. Naruto blushed, biting his lip a little and inverting his knees shyly. What was going on? Why was Sasuke doing this? Why had he come at all? And why did he have a bag with him? Naruto's mind reeled with unanswered questions, while his body burned and shivered under the others teasing ministrations.
A gasp escaped his lips as Sasuke's hand moved between his legs and found his hardening erection, tightening maddeningly around it. Naruto panted, sitting up once more to protest, but one languid stroke from that hand sent the blond back onto his back, making a soft sound. Sasuke's hand moved at a slow rhythm, but his grip was tight, and the sensation was almost too much for the blond to handle. His mind screamed no, but his body moved accordingly to Sasuke's strokes, begging for more. He didn't understand it, and his mind was in no state to try.
"S-Sasuke... w-what..." he tensed, as the others hand moved faster.
"Shh..." Sasuke murmured, his lips close to the others ear, "relax, Naruto."
"R-relax?" the blond exclaimed, his breath catching slightly as the boys hand tightened a little around him. "H-h-how do- you e-expect me to r-relax w-when- ahhh~" he cut himself off as the Uchiha moved his hand faster, leaning in to meet the blonds eyes.
"I want you to remember something." Naruto met the dark eyes, his own narrowing slightly as his chest heaved, his hot breath slightly blowing the others dark bangs.
"W-what?" Sasuke's lips descended upon his once again, stealing the little oxygen he had left.
This felt different from the kiss they had shared earlier; Sasuke's body seemed to tremble and his lips parted hungrily.
Naruto opened his mouth and Sasuke's tongue again found it's way inside his mouth, pushing against his challengingly. Almost on instinct, the blond pushed back against it, feeling his insides squirm as the boy above him made a soft noise and pressed closer.
"I want you to remember this night," Sasuke breathed against his parted lips. "I want you to remember these feelings... " his hand worked faster, while the other one slid slowly up the skin of his thigh. Naruto whimpered, shifting his legs and trying to avoid the other boys gaze. When he did look at him, his heart jumped when he saw the hunger in those deep onyx orbs.
"Sas-Sasuke?" he panted, trembling a little under the demanding, pleasuring touch. The raven suddenly withdrew his hand and gently took hold of Naruto's wrists, pulling his hands up and slipping them beneath his shirt. Naruto blushed as his palms flattened against the other boys cool chest , but his nervousness died down a little when he felt how fast the others heart was beating. He met Sasuke's eyes once again, and he found a sadness there that pulled at his heart, and he wanted to hold the Uchiha close to him; cradle his body and stop his trembling.
Slowly, the blond released the fear and confusion of the situation, and focused instead on running his hands up the others smooth skin. Sasuke's eyes closed as he continued the gentle touch, and Naruto grew bolder in his advances. He slid his hands around Sasuke's back and trailed his fingers gently up his spine, ashamed to admit that he loved it when he felt Sasuke shiver beneath the touch. Shyly, the blond pulled the boys shirt up, and Sasuke's eyes opened questioningly. Naruto met his eyes and gave him a small, shy nod. Sasuke's eyes glowed momentarily and then he sat up slightly, pulling the shirt off swiftly, tossing it aside. Naruto flushed more, running his hands up the others chest as he pressed close again.
Sasuke purred as the boys bare skin came into contact with his own, and a shudder ran through the both of them.
Naruto was confused, he was frustrated, he was hot and he was bothered, and he didn't know what this was leading to, or how it had begun at all. But he did know that at this moment, all he craved was Sasuke's touch. Sasuke's kiss. Sasuke...
"Take them off," Sasuke whispered heatedly, guiding Naruto's hands over the waist band of his pants. Naruto blushed heavily, but didn't question the order, silently unbuttoning and unzipping the offending clothing and shyly tugged them down his hips.
They avoided each others eyes as the Uchiha was stripped of all of his clothing and sat bare before the other. Naruto kicked his pants off his ankles and moved back to the headboard, shyly inverting his knees and meeting Sasuke's eyes briefly. The Uchiha looked at him hungrily, then moved forward and covered the blonds small frame with his own.
"Oh..." the younger gasped softly as the other pressed up against him, the feeling of their heated skin pressing together almost too much to bare. He felt Sasuke quiver slightly above him, and on instinct he slipped his arms around his neck, drawing him closer. Sasuke's dark eyes met his and they gazed heatedly at one another, both quivering with anticipation and suppressed desires.
Sasuke's hand rested on his knee, and shyly, he parted his legs, blushing when the raven moved between them, pressing close. The blond moaned softly, unknowingly arching his back at the contact. Sasuke's hips moved against his, and he bit back another moan, digging his nails into his pale shoulders. The Uchiha groaned softly, quivering and pressing closer. Throwing all inhibitions out the window, Naruto parted his legs more to further the sensation and let out a moan. Hunger flared inside him when he felt Sasuke shudder once again, and he clawed his back. Sasuke growled as the nails dragged across his flesh, and on a sudden impulse he roughly pushed his hips against the other boys. Naruto gasped loudly, quivering and arching his back. Sasuke was encouraged by the reaction and repeated the movement hungrily, grinding roughly against the others hips.
"Sa-Sasuke~" the blond whined, clutching the others shoulders. It felt so good, yet... it still wasn't enough. Naruto didn't know what it was that he wanted, but he knew it was better than this, and he wanted it. He shivered and leaned up quickly, pressing his lips firmly against the others. Sasuke's made a soft surprised sound, but returned the kiss forcefully, his movements relenting very slightly due to surprise. When they parted, Sasuke saw beneath him a Naruto he'd never seen before. The blond's eyelids were lowered heavily over his blue eyes, which were glowing with an intense heat and desire. His thin form was covered in a thin sheen of sweat, and his lips were red from kisses. Sasuke felt lust flare inside him, and a furious desire filled him. "Sasuke..." Naruto almost purred, his body fidgeting slightly, but not out of nervousness. Sasuke met those blazing eyes with his own heated gaze. Naruto leaned up slightly, his breath washing over the others flushed face. "Sasuke... I want more..." The raven shivered, his eyes flaring. He moved tightly against the other, purring,
"Yes?"
Naruto nodded firmly, shaking a little. "Yes..." Sasuke shivered and sucked hungrily at Naruto's neck, leaving a deep, red mark. The blond panted, craning his neck and unknowingly parting his legs more. Sasuke's hand slid down his abdomen, stroking him teasingly while his other hand moved up. Naruto made a soft sound as Sasuke's slim fingers pressed against his lips. The blond opened his hazy eyes, looking at the other questioningly.
"Suck," the raven demanded huskily. Naruto quivered and obeyed, letting the others fingers slide into his mouth. Sasuke watched him, eyes glowing heatedly. A moment later, the raven withdrew his fingers and moved his hand down. Naruto shifted his legs uncertainly, shyness overcoming him once more. His eyes suddenly widened as he felt the wet fingers press against his entrance. He shifted back a little, looking at Sasuke in confusion.
"W-what..." Sasuke met his eyes steadily, keeping his fingers still.
"Relax..." he purred quietly. Naruto swallowed thickly, shivers traveling up his spine; he nodded slowly. Naruto shut his eyes tightly, shoulders hunching as one of the boys long fingers pushed slowly into him.
"N-nn~" the blond whimpered, clutching the covers and furrowing his brow as the finger began slowly thrusting in and out. He whined and shifted, his muscles tightening and relaxing until the raven was able to add another."S-Sasuke- t-that's...nn!" The boys eyes snapped open as the others fingers brushed something sensitive deep inside of him. Sasuke's dark eyes flicked up to the blonds blushing face, tilting his head a little in fascination.
The kitsune writhed and moaned as that sensitive spot was struck gently again and again, and the hunger within grew stronger. He hissed as Sasuke suddenly withdrew his thin fingers and leaned closer, parting his legs swiftly. Naruto's heart beat fiercely against his rib cage as Sasuke pressed close, his deep eyes glittering with raw lust. Sasuke looked away a little as he pressed closer, but at that heated moment when he entered the blond, they both let out soft gasps and met each others eyes once again, as though asking each other if this was really happening. Naruto fidgeted and blushed as Sasuke slowly pushed his length completely into the others tight, quivering body, gasping softly as he did so. "S-Sas-nnn..." Naruto grit his teeth in discomfort, digging his nails into the others pale shoulders. "Sas-Sasuke... it-it hurts," he whimpered, quivering. The raven looked at him through his dark bangs, panting softly and holding still.
"R-relax," he whispered, his voice trembling slightly. Naruto shook his head, shifting his legs and groaning.
"H-hurts..." He heard the Uchiha groan softly as well, though he was positive it wasn't for the same reason that he had.
"I-it will stop..." Sasuke murmured, moving ever so slightly. Naruto panted raggedly as the boy above him began to move at a steady, slow rhythm, moaning softly as he did. Naruto's toes curled and his teeth clenched at the pain, but after a few moments, it eased to a dull throb and he became more aware of the actual concept of what was happening.
Opening his blue eyes Naruto looked up at the boy above him, surprised at the expression he saw. Sasuke's head was bowed, his eyes shut tight, brows furrowed and lips parted. There was a flush painted across his pale cheeks, and strands of his black hair had begun to stick to the sweat on his brow. Never before had Naruto seen Sasuke in such a state; so vulnerable and delicate, his limbs shaking and his fingers clutching at anything they could reach. Suddenly all the pain had gone, and Naruto wanted the other in a way he had never wanted anything.
The blonds thin arms raised and wrapped slowly around the other boys neck, pulling him closer. Sasuke's eyes opened a little and Naruto's heart rate increased when he saw a glittering wetness in the Uchiha's onyx eyes. Naruto might have said something, but at that moment, Sasuke's movements intensified. Naruto let out a gasping moan as the Uchiha thrust deeply inside, growling lowly. He continued thrusting deeply, bowing his head more and moaning.
"S-Sasuke!" Naruto arched his back and hissed in pleasure as the raven thrust harder and hit that spot within him over and over at a rough, hungry pace.
"T-tch... Naruto..." Sasuke panted brokenly, lifting one of the blonds legs over his slim shoulder and bucking his hips.
"Ahh~!" Tears gathered at the corners of Naruto's eyes, and he let out a long, breathless whine. "Sasuke~ It-ahhh- feels s-so good~" he bit his lip, arching his hips up to drive the other deeper. Sasuke moaned the blonds name softly, moving faster and gripping the covers tightly with the hand that rested on the mattress. Their heated breath mingled in the small space between their lips, their heavily lidded eyes staying locked in a fierce stare. Sasuke bucked his hips roughly and Naruto let out a long, whining moan, his muscles tensing slightly. "Sas-Sasuke," he panted heavily, his breath ragged and choked, "Sasuke... I-ah" he grit his teeth as the other moved faster, "I c-can't-nn-aaah~" Sasuke lowered his head slightly, kissing the others moist lips clumsily, panting.
"Cum, Naruto," he purred, eyes glittering in the darkness. Naruto dragged his nails up Sasuke's back as their rhythm became so intense that neither boy could tell which body was their own, and the only sensation felt was heat and pleasure.
"T-tch," Naruto dug his nails deeper into the other boys skin, shutting his eyes tightly, "Sasuke... I-I-" The Uchiha responded to this weak warning by slamming his hips forward roughly, growling in animal lust.
With a loud cry, Naruto came, his entire body shuddering uncontrollably and his muscles tensing. At the sudden tightening of muscles, Sasuke too came, moaning and shaking violently as they rode out the sensation.
A moment later, Sasuke collapsed, panting heavily and quivering. Naruto shook, staring at the ceiling unblinkingly, his body slowly recovering from the pleasure high. Moments passed in silence, then finally, the raven carefully lifted himself off of the other boy. Naruto winced slightly as the other pulled out of him, but was too tired to have much more of a reaction. He watched dazedly as the raven sat up and moved to find his clothing, running a hand through his mussed, dark hair. He pulled on his pants and glanced around for his shirt.
Weakly, Naruto lifted himself up a little and rested back on his elbows, trying to find his voice.
"Sasuke..." he whispered hoarsely, watching as the other located his shirt and began pulling it over his head. He furrowed his brow and tried again, "Sasuke..." The Uchiha glances over his shoulder, straightening his shirt absently. Naruto met his eyes sadly, tilting his head a little. Sasuke held the eye contact while his hands fumbled with the kunai pouch around his leg. Naruto shifted his legs, wincing a little and making a soft sound. Sasuke averted his eyes, turning his head forward again and busying himself with the rest of his equipment.
Angrily, Naruto raised a hand to his eyes, wiping away the tears that had gathered there. "Teme..." he whispered brokenly, "is... is that all you wanted..." Sasuke paused, then after a moment he turned to face the smaller boy, who kept his head lowered. Naruto kept very still as the other boy slowly approached him, then slowly looked up when Sasuke's hand reached out and gently guided his chin up. Their eyes met, and the Uchiha leaned closer.
"Always remember what I said..." his hand cupped the boys cheek gently, "I never hated you..." Naruto's eyes slid shut as the Uchiha leaned in and kissed him softly and deeply. Something inside Naruto wanted to grab the Uchiha, hold him close, never let him go... his instinct was telling him, begging him to stop Sasuke, to ask him why he had come, why he looked so sad, why he felt so distant even after all they had just done. 'Catch him...' his heart screamed, 'catch him before he falls...' But Sasuke had pulled away, and was making his way towards the window, grabbing his pack and swinging it over his shoulder. Naruto reached out, opening his mouth to speak... but nothing came out... no words could be found... nothing could be said. All he could do was watch as the boy cast one last look over his shoulder, and was gone.
'I should have stopped you that night...I should have caught you and held you close to me... I should have told you how much it means to have you... how beautiful you are to me, no matter what... I should have told you... Sasuke...
...I never hated you either...'
