Disclaimer: If I owned Naruto the series would be an epic yaoi with a hella bunch of fucking. This is obviously not the case.
Released
"No!" Sasuke spat defiantly and crossed his arms. He was currently sitting in the back of his father's rather expensive car. "I absolutely will not."
Fugaku pinched the bridge of his nose and leaned into the car, grabbing Sasuke's chin with a bruising grip. "Do not make me discipline you in front of your new husband." There was no response from the boy save for a few hot tears that gathered in the corners of his two onyx eyes. A sharp slap landed across Sasuke's face, forceful enough to make him fall onto his side. "Dry your eyes this instant, Sasuke." The little raven sat back up and squeezed his eyes shut to prevent any other tears from escaping. He dried his face with the sleeves of his black cloak, a required item of clothing for ukes when in public. "Now listen to me, Sasuke." Fugaku waggled his index finger in front of the raven's face, "If you screw this up for me, you will be sorry."
Sasuke nodded compliantly and put his palm over the red, forming hand print across his face. "I want mother."
Fugaku gave a demeaning snort. "You're a grown uke, Sasuke. It is time you started acting like it. You've got an important duty to your family and I won't expect anything less from an Uchiha than perfection." He gave Sasuke an intimidating glare. "Your brother is so much more obedient than you've ever been." Fugaku smoothed some of the imaginary wrinkles out of his nice suit and gave Sasuke another once-over. "You've lost weight like I advised you to. You look nice for a change." He turned, "Come along, Sasuke."
Reluctantly and careful not to shed the tears welling up inside him, Sasuke pulled his hood over his head and exited the vehicle.
A fresh autumn breeze rustled his clunky black cloak, covering his skin in goosebumps. Sasuke couldn't remember the last time he'd been outside. "An uke is not fit for the world outside the home.", Fugaku would say. "They are better put to use indoors." Sasuke let out a shaky breath. His palms became clammy and he cast his gaze to his feet. The doorbell rang.
After a few short seconds a tall, lean man with a mask covering half his face appeared in the doorway. He bowed and said, "Good Evening, you must be Uchiha-sama." Kakashi greeted the man, ignoring Sasuke. It is extremely rude to address another seme's uke without the seme's express permission to do so.
The two Uchihas stepped inside and took a seat in the posh foyer. "Uzumaki-sama will be with you momentarily." The butler bowed once more and exited the room.
Sasuke gulped nervously.
Fugaku pulled a fancy flask from his shirt pocket and took a swig of whiskey. "Listen here, Sasuke. Keep your mouth shut and your head down. If anyone asks you a question all you'd better do is either nod or shake your damn head, am I absolutely clear?" He put away the flask.
The boy gave a soft nod, keeping his eyes on the floor.
"Good." Soon after their agreement Sasuke heard footsteps echoing across the room. His heart jumped. He heard Fugaku stand and laugh good-naturedly as he shook hands with another seme. "This is Sasuke." A big hand rested firmly on the raven's shoulder.
The conversation from there on was dull and lifeless. Business talk sounded foreign to Sasuke.
"-and may I say something to Sasuke?"
Fugaku lifted a brow. "Of course."
"Sasuke," Uzumaki-sama grabbed his hand and said, "I look forward to spending the rest of my days with you."
The raven almost, almost blushed red. Lies. All any seme ever wanted to do with an uke was to violate them. This man was simply trying to make Sasuke let his guard down. This is what Sasuke thought, and it made his heart ache to know that this was his future.
As no response was given, the seme chuckled. "Don't be shy, Sasuke. I don't bite." He gave the raven's hand a reassuring squeeze, sending a shiver up the uke's spine. "You can look up if you want to."
If Sasuke wasn't afraid of having a black and blue bottom, he'd of gasped then and there. But as showing anything but total submissiveness and agreement to your seme was unacceptable, he slowly raised his head up due to the bruising grip of his father's palm on his shoulder- a silent warning to do what Uzumaki-sama wanted.
To put it lightly, Sasuke wasn't prepared for the sight that greeted his eyes. A young man with unruly golden hair and sea-blue eyes was smiling kindly at Sasuke. Six strange scars marred the man's beautiful face, however the supposed imperfections only served to add an attractive air of mystery to him.
Sasuke pulled subconsciously at his hood, hiding his face. He felt self-conscious around this man. If Sasuke was as ugly as Fugaku often claimed, Uzumaki-sama would surely be repulsed by Sasuke's appearance. The raven's heart sank. This would surely end in disappointment for his father. How could someone like Naruto ever settle for someone like himself?
Fugaku was annoyed. Extremely ticked off. All this fidgeting that Sasuke was doing was irritating to no end! And now he was hiding his face from his own seme? "Just you wait, brat. When we get home you're going to regret this."
However, to his surprise, the man known as Naruto Uzumaki didn't seem annoyed in the slightest. The blonde simply leaned over and gently pulled the hood out of Sasuke's grip, letting it slip off of the uke's head.
"Much better." Naruto beamed at Sasuke. "Now I can see your beautiful face."
Beautiful?! Sasuke wouldn't have ever imagined someone- apart from in his own personal delusions- describing him that way. This perfect man thought he was beautiful? "He's got to be mocking me." Sasuke thought.
Sasuke unconsciously blushed and looked down. "I hope that you look forward to being by my side as much as I look forward to being by yours." Naruto said charmingly.
"I've got to be in a dream. This has got to be one of my fantasies. Perhaps I've simply gone insane and I can't tell wishful thinking apart from reality anymore. Yes! That's the only explanation... A seme would never stoop so low as to say that he wants to be by an uke's side! It's just not done!"
"What the hell is this boy thinking?" Fugaku thought to himself, "What a disgraceful thing for a seme to say!"
At noticing Naruto's stumped gaze, Sasuke pulled himself from his own thoughts and nodded his head hastily. "You're not very talkative, are you Sasuke?" Naruto chuckled. "Knowing his brother, I'd thought Sasuke would be a bit more... feisty."
"Yes, well," Fugaku cleared his throat, "That's one good thing about Sasuke. Hardly says a word if you handle him properly."
Naruto furrowed a brow. "Oh, I don't mind if he's usually more talkative." He gave a slight chuckled to break the tension, "I'm a bit of a blabbermouth myself!"
Sasuke saw that his father was not amused. "This is going to be painful to watch." He thought.
"Goodbye, Sasuke. Serve Uzumaki-san well." Fugaku said as he gave his son a firm pat on the shoulder.
After Naruto had said his farewells to the Uchiha seme, the blonde turned and clapped his hands together. "Alright Sasuke! Your things have already arrived and have been put in your room. We can rearrange where everything's been placed if you're unhappy with how it looks."
If Sasuke hadn't of been an Uchiha, he would've blushed. This was the first time the raven really got to get a look at Naruto below the neck. And he was pleased with what he saw.
The blonde wore a white oxford shirt that hugged taut biceps, dark, slim-fitting dress pants that clung in all the right places and shiny dress shoes. Naruto looked damn good. And here Sasuke was, in his ugly cloak used only for going outdoors.
"Come on, follow me." Sasuke complied and trailed the man across the room and up a spiral staircase that lead to another massive story of the Uzumaki estate. "The room that we chatted in downstairs was the foyer. To the left of that would be the great room and to the right would lead you to the dining room. And beyond that would bring you to the linen room, kitchen, scullery and wine cellar... but you won't be spending much time in those places, will you?" Naruto chuckled- something Sasuke noticed that the seme did a lot. "However during the holidays I'll be more than happy to share a bottle of wine with you, if you'd like." The man beamed. Consumption of alcohol by an uke was illegal. Sasuke had learned that before his father had pulled him from an uke-only school.
But Sasuke knew that this had to be a dream, or a set up, or something! Anything other than reality!
"Naruto-sama..." The raven muttered.
The blonde halted and turned around. "You can call me Naruto. What's the matter, Sasuke?" The seme let a look of concern cross his handsome face. "Are you unhappy with something?"
Sasuke shook his head. "It isn't that." He faltered with his words, "Naruto... Why are you so kind to me?"
Naruto gave a look as if the raven was insane. "Because..." He thought for a moment, "Because I like you." He saw Sasuke's face contort with confusion. "Well, if I were cruel to you, you wouldn't want to stick around would you?"
Honestly, Sasuke would stay with Naruto under almost any circumstance. He'd give Naruto anything to keep from being sent back to his father. "I suppose I wouldn't."
The man gave Sasuke a long, hard look. "I'm not like your father." Naruto left it at that and continued leading Sasuke to his new room.
Sasuke was slightly puzzled. This man, this seme, was nothing like what Fugaku had described. Naruto seemed utterly kind.
Eventually, they arrived at a sleek-looking, dark wooden door. "This will be your room." Naruto smiled and rubbed the back of his head. "I hope you like it." He chuckled nervously.
Of course Sasuke would love the room. It was far away from Fugaku's room instead of right next door to it. And Sasuke was by no means poor, but Naruto was absolutely loaded. This room would be just as, if not more, lavish than Sasuke had imagined.
As Naruto swung the door open slowly Sasuke's predictions were spot on. To the right of the room was a large, white canopy bed with a dark wooden frame. It sat across from a large flat screen television. Along the walls were doors to a walk in closet and at the other end of the room were a pair of glass french doors leading to a balcony, a chair and table looking out into the thick forestry beyond the backyard. On top of this a bathroom was connected to the bedroom.
Sasuke saw that Naruto was eyeing him apprehensively. "This will do." The raven entered the room and took a seat on the bed.
Naruto sighed. "I'm glad you like it."
"But," Sasuke began, "All of this orange is absolutely hideous." The raven eyed the wretched paint on the walls.
"Oh," Naruto's grin faltered, "Well, we can fix that." He sat beside Sasuke, "What color do you want the walls to be?"
Sasuke thought for a moment, never expecting his complaint to be noticed. "Navy blue."
The blonde nodded and stood. "Someone will be here tomorrow to repaint your room, then." He gestured to the corner of the room, "Your things are over there. I'll give you some time to settle in. If you need anything I'll be in my office with the door open, right down the hallway." And with that Naruto had left and closed the door silently behind himself.
With a deep sigh, Sasuke pulled his cloak off. He sat there in only a tight black tank top and shorts that were rather too short for the chill of autumn. He twiddled his fingers. "It was nice of him not to go through my things." He thought. When Itachi had moved out, the uke's personal items had already been put away for him.
Was Sasuke ever grateful that his seme was polite... There were things in Sasuke's bags that were secretive. Things that ukes should definitely not have.
The raven stood and set his cloak on the bed, deciding not to simply sit around and dwell on what could have happened. The point was that it hadn't happened, and conflict has been avoided.
Goodness. There was a lot to be done about this hideous room.
*coughs quietly*
