Enjoy ~~~
The room was filled with laughter and claps were heard as the crowd cheered, not in a very loud manner but cheered nonetheless. Glasses clanked together in celebration as soon as the announcement was made. Naruto was standing a little farther away from the main stage, his back was leaned by the wall, a wine glass in hand although he was not really drinking from it. A smile was plastered on his face as he was looking at the occupants on the stage happily talking and laughing together. Two families who were tying the knot together talking and hugging each other congratulating each other it was a real time for celebration.
He watched quietly at one male standing as quiet as ever at the corner of the stage, he was tall, dark hair and wore a business suit looking as handsome as ever. His pale face glowed uniquely when light fell on him, and gave him a graceful angelic look, though the features of his face were rough and hard proving that indeed he was a very handsome man, a small smile was on his face, just a hint of it that it was difficult to make out, but Naruto knew it was there. His black eyes though emotionless looked stunningly dark and beautiful as ever, as his one hand was shoved in his pants pocket, he was lost scanning the crowd as if looking for someone. Next to him stood a pink haired beautiful girl latched on his arm and talking to a dark haired woman next to her, animatedly sometimes laughing, sometimes giggling and sometimes strengthening her hold on the taller male's arm.
A sigh escaped Naruto's lips as he smiled with a hint of amusement in his eyes. Same old Sasuke, without even caring that this was a special event centering solely around him he was still his same old broody self. What can you expect from such an arrogant bastard who really didn't know the first meaning of socialism. He was a loner, his best friend and yet world threw themselves at his feet. He was the last heir of the Uchiha corp, son of the richest man in Japan, Fugaku Uchiha who was the famous business man in Japan, head of the Uchiha family and a well respected citizen.
It was still a mystery how he and Sasuke became such good friends, because in front of him, Naruto was a normal guy, with normal income who lived with his 23 year old cousin who had her own bakery shop. Naruto also worked in that same bakery shop for one reason that he loved baking. Sasuke had always loved his baking, this was something Naruto found special in his skills. The Uchiha boy never liked eating sweets, unless they come from Naruto. He watched as his 23 year old friend talked to his older brother, another factor to be amused about.
How Sasuke and his older brother Itachi interacted together, standing side by side, not even looking at each other talking in secrecy, sometimes a glare appearing on Sasuke's face and Itachi's smirk widening, it was all so common to him because Naruto knew Sasuke and his family like the back of his hand. Sasuke told him everything, he considered him like a family, according to the dark haired male, Naruto was the only family who understood him better than his real one and Naruto was happy about it. He always liked how Sasuke saw someone special in him, he was glad they both always had each other's back.
He unconsciously sipped from his glass and glanced around the hall, at the crowd, he seemed so out of place among all these rich people and yet every time he looked back at Sasuke he felt like he was home. And so he was glad he came today no matter how annoyed he was at the fact that he'd be attending the bastard s engagement party, he had to come to support Sasuke. Nothing was more important than to feel happy for his friend.
His hand shoved under his pants pocket, and minutes later someone joined him. Naruto raised his blue eyes and looked to his side at his friend and one of Sasuke's business associates Suigetsu, the white haired boy smirked at him and nudged the shorter blonde with his shoulder.
"Why in such a sulking mood Naruto?"
The blonde shrugged and smiled. "Who said I am sulking, I am enjoying the party"
"Please you don't fool me, you look like you are about to fall asleep, believe me I feel the same way I mean come on not in a million years I thought that Sasuke would be getting married and here we are at his engagement party" he laughed and Naruto laughed with him.
"Come on it's not so bad, Sasuke looks happy"
Suigetsu looked up at the black haired boy and his smirk intensified. "Yeah he looks like he's having a ball" Naruto didn't miss the sarcastic tone in his voice. Suigetsu diverted his attention back to the blonde and narrowed his eyes. "I bet Karin is sulking in her room at this very moment"
Upon hearing his cousin s name Naruto barked out in laughter and shook his head. "She was screaming at me the whole day for no reason, but she was fine actually, she had a night shift at the bakery that's why she didn't come, otherwise she was ready to blow up the party and probably Sakura-chan's head" Naruto looked up at the pink haired girl now talking to her parents and smiled. She looked gorgeous up there, in a white dress hugging her body showing her every curve, her hair were tied in a bun and arms covered in white gloves.
"Heh...anyway, I'll make sure to make her life miserable after I see her next time" Naruto frowned and gave a small push to him.
"Leave her alone if you dear your life idiot"
"Haha, she would have killed me a long time ago, but guess what, I am alive and her life is miserable"
"No it's not she's fine. Wait why are we talking about my cousin again"
"Because I hate her" Suigetsu shrugged and gave a hard thump on his back. Naruto rolled his eyes, before pushing the older male off of him, Suigetsu laughed some more before he left, Naruto finally glad to be away from the white haired man's company sighed and started drinking from his glass again. Before he knew what was happening he was crushed in a bare hug and a gasp escaped his lips.
"Naruto...oh gosh I have been trying to get to you the whole night" Naruto realized it was Sakura who was hugging him. A smile escaped on his lips and wrapped his arms around the shorter girl almost pulling her feet up from the ground in excitement.
"Sakura-chan!" the pink haired girl laughed happily and tightened her hold around his neck. "You look so beautiful tonight, too bad you are not mine" she pulled away and patted on his shoulder.
"Don't you dare give me that look Naruto..." he laughed and shook his head.
"Nah just kidding, but seriously anyone would love to get their hands on you" She giggled and nodded.
"Thanks...oh Naruto I cannot explain my happiness to you, first I am really happy that you came, second I am seriously living a dream right now, could this night be anymore wonderful" she took his tan hands in her white one s and blushed prettily. "I have no words to tell you how happy I am"
"You don't have to Sakura-chan, it's written all over your face" she giggled and ruffled his already messy blonde hair. Then she came next to him and looked up at the stage at her he fianc who was now talking to his mother.
"Sasuke-kun looks so handsome, I mean he was talking so nicely and for the first time he smiled at me, who knew our families would be one to bring us together ne, at first I was so afraid that he's going to refuse, but when I heard that he actually agreed to marry me, I was literally on cloud nine" Naruto looked at her and couldn't help but smile more. He was happy for Sakura, more than that he was happy for Sasuke, Naruto had promised him that he would support him on his decision and this is what he was doing. He was being a good friend.
Soon after their talk finished some of the girls gathered them around and started talking with Sakura, Naruto was pushed roughly aside by one girl and resisted and urge to scream at her, but knew that he would dig his own grave up by doing that so he gently got himself out of the crowd, seeing Sakura was now busy talking with them he walked away from there, without another word. Suddenly his phone started to vibrate and he found an empty chair and quickly took it before anyone else would snatch that away from him.
Taking out his phone he pressed it against his ear. "Hey cousin"
He heard his cousin's scream from the other end that caused him to push the phone away from his ear, closing his one eye he gently brought the phone near his ear again and whispered. "Hey slow down, I am at a party...I am fine Karin-chan you worry too much...yes, I'll be out in 30 minutes, I still haven't even talked to Sasuke...yeah he's too busy with everyone else" Naruto became silent for a second, while Karin was saying something from the other end slowly a smile formed on his face and he shook his head.
"I am fine really...don't worry about me Karin-chan" with that he bid her a small good bye and hang up the phone. As he looked around the crowd and pouted, he was feeling so fucking bored and no one was here to cheer him up, not that he would admit it out loud that he needed anyone to cheer him up, but still what's the point of throwing a party when you celebrate it like bunch of old people. He feels like throwing up at these stuck rich people. What was worse, was that they were all looking at him as if he was from an outer space like he was some sort of an alien, to hell with these idiots, one day Naruto will give them a piece of his mind, no one looks down upon him like this.
Checking his watch he realized there is no point in staying here out so late, Karin was already getting worried, and Sasuke looked like he'll be busy whole night, making a promise to himself that he would call the bastard tomorrow Naruto stood up from his chair and headed towards the exit door. It's better if he leave now, save all these stuck up nobles trouble from having to look at him like he was some sort of crazy creature stepping on their golden ground. Idiots, Naruto didn't care what they think anyway, he was not brain damaged like they were. He wondered how Sasuke got to be one of them; he was not at all like these jerks.
With that he walked out into the luscious garden, hoping he'd get a cab, although it seemed like he's gonna have to walk home since it was late and there were no cabs near the Uchiha residence. He started to walk through the garden. He was only halfway out of the mansion that he didn't even realize someone was behind him.
"Naruto"
He came to an abrupt stop without a second thought when he heard a smooth voice called his name. Without a word he turned around and was met with a pair of black orbs looking into his blue one's quietly, seriously, carefully. Naruto was quiet for a second before a grin broke out on his face and eyes almost slit close at the happiness he felt upon seeing the black haired man standing in front of him.
Sasuke Uchiha smiled back as he walked slowly up to the shorter boy hands in pockets as he arched his eyebrow. "Leaving already?"
Naruto opened his eyes and blinked at him before frowning and punching him on his shoulder softly. "You idiot, I have been dying in the crowd all alone, what the hell were you doing up on the stage, you looked like a statue from Greek myth standing there like an idiot"
Sasuke looked down for a second as a soft laugh escaped his lips and shrugged. "Father told me to stay there, he wanted me to answer some question, I am not sure what some of the questions meant" Naruto rolled his eyes.
"Your father is really taking this marriage like he's the one getting married" Sasuke laughed a little more and Naruto couldn't help but smile. Sasuke truly was amazing when he was around him, so open and carefree, he wondered why he hid his true self from the rest of the world, starting with that laugh. He had a wonderful laugh, Naruto wouldn't admit this openly but that smile would always melt him down to his very core.
A sigh escaped his lips as he looked up at the sky. "Look Karin-chan is getting worried, I really have to go"
"Why she thinks her innocent little brother is going to get lost in the middle of the streets..." Naruto pushed him a little with his shoulder and groaned.
"Don't you dare show me that rape face bastard, I'll wipe that smirk off of your face in a second" the blonde snapped at him and Sasuke's smug look was immediately replaced by an innocent look.
"Naru-chan, you scared of me?" Naruto groaned and turned away from him crossing his arms on his chest.
"Bastard, Teme, Baka, Duck-butt..." Sasuke laughed and walked past him who was still busy cursing, and took out the car keys from his pockets.
"Come on, I'll take you home" Before Naruto knew it he was being dragged by his friend towards Sasuke's car. Naruto looked up at him and his eyes widened.
"What...wait, wait" Naruto stopped, causing Sasuke to stop as well. The raven haired man turned and glared at him.
"What now?"
"You have a party going on in there idiot, you can't come with me"
"The party I have no interest in...now come on" Naruto blinked at him twice but followed him wordlessly after few seconds. As they headed for his car Naruto quickly entered inside in the front seat and a second later Sasuke joined him on the driver's seat. Naruto looked at him and pouted.
"You have no interest in...looks like you are running away"
"And you are right, I need a time out I am already a lot tired than I thought I'd be" Sasuke started the car and they drove out of the Uchiha state at high speed. "Not to mention my mother wants Sakura to spend a night here at the mansion, I swear I can't take all this anymore" Naruto smirked.
"Sounds like you are not happy with this arrangement"
"I am not happy with all these ceremonies, these woman are going to eat me alive before I am even married to Sakura...plus her mother is asking questions like she's some sort of a mafia spy, like I am going to abduct her daughter or something, honestly this whole drama is not me Naruto I am tired" Naruto didn't say anything and listened to his friend, he understood where Sasuke was coming from. While he knew that Sasuke was fine with the idea of a marriage, these useless parties and gatherings will definitely tire him out. He was already pissed that this marriage was on the basis of saving their business companies, but Sasuke was the youngest among the family, his opinions never mattered to anyone. Sasuke already felt so left out especially around his brother, Naruto knew how Sasuke felt and how different he was from the rest.
"It's alright Sasuke...once this is all over you can relax, you know you can go back to your work again, work makes you feel better right, just bear with it a little longer and if it's too much you can always come to me, I am going to annoy the hell out of you then" Sasuke smiled and watched him from the corner of his eye.
"Usuratonkachi"
Naruto scoffed at the insult but decided to ignore it this one time. He started to look forward for a while, silence hung around them before Naruto looked back at him again. "Hey I have an idea..." Sasuke nodded indicating that he was listening.
"Come with us tomorrow we are all going at Kiba's place, his sister's out for a week, so we are going there just to spend some time"
Sasuke looked at him and arched his eyebrow. "You mean like everyone's going to be there"
"I know you don't like to hang out with my friends but come on, it will help you cool off from the stress, besides our party is going to be much more fun. Everyone will be there, Kiba, Shikamaru, Chouji, even we forced Neji to come, I called Suigetsu as well, Karin-chan will be there and Ino and TenTen too" Sasuke smiled at him, while Naruto kept talking happily trying to cheer his friend's mood up a little.
After few more minutes the car stopped in front of the Uzumaki Residence and Sasuke looked at him. "Fine I'll pick you up at nine?" Naruto nodded quickly.
"Sounds like a plan, you'll not regret it I promise" Naruto thumped on his back and smiled happily. Sasuke gave a slight nod and Naruto waved at him. "Gotta go now..." as he got out of the car, he ducked down to insert his head through the window and looked at him. Sasuke looked back as their eyes met for a split second.
"You can come in if you want" Sasuke looked at his watch and shook his head.
"Father will notice my disappearance, I have to go" Naruto nodded and stood up.
"Kay, see ya tomorrow" with that Naruto ran inside his house leaving the Uchiha alone in his car, Sasuke watched the blonde as he entered through the doors of his house, with a soft smile forming on his face he drove away from the lane leaving behind the Uzumaki Residence.
Naruto entered inside, and loosened up his tie throwing it somewhere on a chair. "I am home" he called out and headed into the kitchen, as he grabbed the bottle of water and started drinking from it. Footsteps were heard as someone came running towards where he was and stopped at the entrance of the kitchen's door. Naruto turned and found his red haired cousin watching him with concerned written all over her face. Naruto smiled broadly at her.
"Hey..."
"Naruto" a sigh escaped the older woman s lips and she settled her glasses. She slowly walked towards him and smiled softly. "Are you okay?" He nodded.
"Yeah I am fine" he replied cheerfully.
"Really cause you don't look okay to me...did you tell him?" she asked with worry etched in her voice. Naruto shrugged and knitted his eyebrows, the smile still there.
"There was nothing to tell him there, he looked happy...he was fine" Karin worried her lower lip biting on it and moved a little more closer to him as she placed her hand on his shoulder. Naruto looked down from her and placed the bottle near the kitchen counter. His shoulders slumped and a sigh escaped his lips. "I...lost him"
Karin didn't know what to do, as she watched the sad expression on her cousins face. Without a word she took him in a hug and patted on his blonde head, Naruto hid his face under her shoulder, and hugged her back.
"It's alright...I am here for you Blondie, don't worry" with that Karin tightened her hold around his shoulders and smiled softly trying her best to make her little brother feel better. She knew he was hurt and he needed all the comfort he could ask for, Karin was there for him, and there was no doubt.
Sasuke pulled over near the mansion and got out of his car, looking up some of the guests were already leaving, he was glad they were going he had no more energy to deal with people anymore. He slammed the car door shut and started heading for the main gate when he saw someone was standing right in front of him. He arched his eyebrow as he walked a little further only to realize it was Itachi.
The older Uchiha watched as his brother made his way towards him and stopped a few steps away from him. Itachi smirked. "You are lucky that father is still busy that he didn't notice your absence"
"It doesn't matter if he notices anything"
"Of course it does, it's your night to celebrate little brother"
"Whatever" with that he started to walk again, but before he could pass his brother, Itachi's voice stopped him.
"How's Naruto-kun?" Sasuke turned around and frowned.
"Fine"
"Are you sure" the Uchiha shrugged and shoved his hand in his pockets.
"Yeah, why are you asking?" Sasuke studied his face for a second, but Itachi replaced his serious expression with a soft smile.
"Just curious...it's good then" Sasuke didn't reply. Itachi walked towards him and looked straight into his eyes.
"I know you only said yes because father was the one who suggested the idea of this marriage, I just hope you don't come to regret your decisions little brother" Sasuke glared at him and resisted and urge to clench his fist to his side.
"Keep your doubts to yourself Itachi, I know what I am doing"
"Do you...? You have yet of need to open your eyes and see what goes around you little brother...things you can't see clearly, things that are within your grasp yet you refuse to hold them...you refuse to see your true self" Sasuke turned away from him and started walking away. Sasuke always hated Itachi when he would talk to him in metaphor, one of Itachi's habits to piss him off and he showed his distaste with a scowl on his face.
"I am not a kid anymore Itachi, stop treating me like one" with that he was gone leaving his brother alone. His fist finally clenched to his side and he gritted his teeth. To hell with him, Itachi always doubted him in everything, and even though he still didn't quite understand what he meant right now, somehow he was afraid that Itachi was right he has always been right about everything. As if he ever regretted any of his decisions before he knew well what he was doing, he didn't need anyone to open his eyes.
With that thought the Uchiha walked back inside and was met with his pink haired fiance who ran up to him and hugged him quickly. A smile came onto his face as they shared a small kiss before she dragged him away into the crowd.
"Oh yeah let s get this party started" Naruto yelped when a heavy body pounced on him like a cannon ball and he was on the ground, under his friend's weight. A laugh escaped the blonde's lips as he started to push the brunette off of him because he was having trouble breathing.
"Hey dog breath watch it" A kick was enough to move Kiba Inuzuka back to his side as Naruto glared at him heatedly.
"It's about time you came and..." the brunette looked up at the dark haired male, who was looking down at them with a tired look. Kiba stood up at once and a smirk played at the corner of his lips. "Well look whose here, lover boy has joined us today" Kiba grabbed Sasuke around his shoulder and brought him closer; Sasuke threw a glare at him.
"Don't touch me so familiarly"
"Yeah yeah, you brought your stinking attitude with you huh?" Naruto stood up as well from the ground and rubbed off the dust from his clothes.
"I convinced him to come with us and he agreed" the blonde scratched the back of his head.
"And now I am regretting every minute of it" Sasuke pushed Kiba away from him and looked around the house filled with other people.
"Ah it's Naruto" Chouji and Shikamaru walked up to them, Shikamaru looked like he just got up from a nap, waved with his hand and settled his gaze on Sasuke for a split second ready to ask why he was here but realized it was too troublesome.
"Hey guys, I brought Sasuke with me he wanted some time away from all the..."
"Its fine, Mr. Emo can join us as long as he doesn t spoil all the fun" Kiba interjected waving his hand carelessly.
"I wouldn't dream of it" the Uchiha murmured mostly to himself.
"Ahh Sasuke-kun, the youth who stole the love of my life and now stands here before me..." Sasuke glared at the black haired boy who approached him with eyes sparkling like crazy. Lee showed him thumbs up and nodded. "Nevertheless you are still very much admirable"
"Hehe...come let s just get you somewhere to sit so you won't be bothered by them" Naruto laughed nervously as he grabbed his arm and took him away towards the couch, Neji was already sitting there alone, looking like he was regretting his decision by coming here. But when he saw the two boys joining him he straightened up and threw a smirk at Sasuke.
"Fancy seeing you here Uchiha" Sasuke glanced at him and shrugged.
"I can say the same about you"
"Yeah TenTen wanted me to join her here tonight..."
"Sasukeeeeeee-kuuuuuun" Before Sasuke had time to turn around and see who it was, two girls latched onto the side of his arms and giggled. Sasuke groaned and glared at Naruto.
"You got me into this" the Uchiha spat. Naruto laughed and held up his hands in defense watching as his cousin and a blonde girl started their usual flirting with him.
"Sorry, but look on the bright side you found someone to occupy your time with" Naruto laughed and skidded away before Sasuke could grab him and beat him up like crazy.
"Looking so good aren't ya Sasuke-kun, like always" Ino beamed at his face, Sasuke sighed dejectedly and groaned when Karin purred near his ear.
"And you smell nice...how about we get some drinks and get ourselves drunk"
"No, and get off of me" he ordered monotonously yet deadly. The girls giggled and threw him down on the couch before sitting on either side of him. Ino once again snaked her hand around his arm and placed her head on his shoulder.
"Where is that bimbo forehead of yours anyway, I bet she is drowning herself in the pool of money eh?" Sasuke glared at her and pushed his arm out of her grasp.
"Don't talk about her like that" both girls giggled after hearing that from him and Karin started playing with the lock of his hair.
"Ah possessive aren't we, looks like Sakura was able to pull you towards her after all...ah lucky girl" Karin laughed.
"Yeah right she's still not married yet, the war has not ended by the end of tonight, Sasuke-kun will be mine" Ino smiled sweetly, Sasuke resisted an urge to punch her on her giggling face, but he was an Uchiha and he don t punch girls no matter how annoying they are. Although he felt like murdering someone and the girls were making it worse.
"Well lets go get some drink first...we'll join you shortly Sasuke-kun, you just settle yourself here" Sasuke rolled his eyes and glanced at Neji who was reading a magazine, but he was sure that the Hyuuga heir was smirking while looking at him in such a miserable position.
With that both Ino and Karin got off from the couch and headed towards where the boys were, lost in the game of Ninuki-renju (a Japanese board game), so far Kiba was rolling on the floor because he was losing, on another corner Shikamaru and Ten Ten were playing Shogi and Shikamaru smirked when he won another round. Naruto looked up at the approaching girls and walked towards them.
"What's up?"
"Ah he's fine, we kind of annoyed the hell out of him but it was all fine" Ino replied.
Naruto sighed and smiled. "Thanks, I just know he's kinda pissed but I had no choice but to bring him here, he looked like he needed a time to get his mind off of all things going on around his place"
"And you thought he'd feel good by coming here?" Karin raised her eyebrow. He shrugged.
"Well yeah, I mean at least it's not like he's there with his father listening to everything he says" Ino shrugged.
"Yeah may be" the blonde girl looked towards Shikamaru and smiled. "Oh yeah I have to go beat Shikamaru in Shogi and wipe the smirk from his face" she ran away from there towards the lazy male leaving Karin who waved at Naruto and went to get herself a drink. The blonde looked up at Sasuke who was now chatting with Neji, by the looks of it they were probably discussing business. It was fine, Sasuke loved talking about work so he was glad Neji was there for him, Naruto turned around towards his friends and laughed when he saw Kiba losing another round and now beating the crap out of Chouji for some unknown reason.
Hours passed, Naruto and the group were all lying on the ground mostly drunk, Sasuke was now talking with others as well. With Shikamaru and TenTen, who mostly asked him about how Sakura was doing since she was good friends with her. Neji had left a long time ago saying that he had work tomorrow, he didn't want to be held back. Naruto raised his head up and found Sasuke was sitting alone now drinking from his cup, he was a little drunk so it took him a little time to get up on his feet. But as he did he stumbled up towards his friend.
Sasuke watched his blonde friend coming over to him but before Naruto could crash on the couch next to him he stumbled down on the floor. Sasuke rolled his eyes and placed the bear mug on the table, Naruto stopped in front of him on his knees and smiled widely.
"That fall will definitely leave a scar on my knee" he hic-cupped and Sasuke frowned. Without a word he smacked the blonde hard on his head and Naruto moaned in pain as he glared up. "Teme, I am gonna kill you" he screamed.
Sasuke grabbed his collar and steadied him in a still position. "You are drunk, dobe"
"Ya think?" he groaned. Sasuke smiled and left his collar, Naruto's head suddenly hit Sasuke knee, he groaned from the pain before gently placing his head down on Sasuke's legs, and closed his eyes. Sasuke looked down at him and one hand came up to his shoulder.
"You really are drunk...which means I am gonna have to take you and Karin home"
"Yeah it'll be good if you do that" he replied in a soft voice. Naruto opened his eyes and slowly wrapped his arms around his waist, settling his head more into his lap. Sasuke was taken aback at such action but reminded himself that the blonde was drunk.
The silence hung around them, when suddenly Naruto looked up; settling his arms on Sasuke's legs now, his eyes slowly closing, but he forced them open. "Hey Sasuke..?"
"What?"
"Can I ask you something?" The raven nodded and settled into a more comfortable position as Naruto sighed and looked down.
"Okay...umm you know, I was wondering about your marriage" Sasuke tilted his head to the side. Naruto looked at him and Sasuke nodded urging him to say more. "I am happy for you, really I am...but you know I was just thinking that... do you really like Sakura-chan now?" As Naruto said this he was looking straight into the raven's eyes. Sasuke stared back without a word, and their eyes locked together for a complete whole minute, before Sasuke broke the contact and looked away.
"I... don't know?" he replied. He looked up and from a distance he could see Karin was in the middle of chocking a drunken Suigetsu to death. But then he looked back into his eyes again. "No I don't, at least not yet" he replied firmly and honestly. And as he said this he didn't miss the look of relief that filled Naruto's eyes. But then his eyes saddened once again and Sasuke tried to search that lost spark in those blue eyes again.
"I see...umm, well that's good, cause when you told me about it I was a little upset..."
"Naruto you are drunk you should sit..." Sasuke made an attempt to grab Naruto, but Naruto took his hands and held them in a soft grip.
"No hear me out Sasuke, I wanna say this" Sasuke became quiet again and for some reason his heart beat increased. Naruto looked at him and smiled sadly. "I was upset because I realized now you'll be giving more time to her instead of me, I mean she's going to be your wife right and you are suppose to share everything with the one you are married with, I feel like I am going to be a hindrance between you two...like I shouldn't be here anymore" Naruto looked away and closed his eyes. Sasuke's heart beat rose to its full extent that he could hear it out and loud. His breath was caught at seeing him in such a broken state. His hands around the tan ones became firm in a grip and eyes narrowed in slits.
"Naruto..." the blonde didn't move, so Sasuke removed his one hand from the grip and grabbed the blonde's chin bringing his face up, Naruto's eyes were still closed, and tears were streaming down his cheeks now. "Naruto, open your eyes" He did as he was told and looked into his onyx eyes. "Since when have you started feeling like that, idiot" his voice was soft, Naruto pouted and tried to look away but Sasuke s other hand shot out and grabbed the side of his face, Naruto's eyes widened when he saw such a determined look in his eyes. "Look at me"
"Sas..."
"I don't care what happens to me from here on out, because this changes nothing. You and I, we are still together as one"
"But I was..."
"Are you not listening to me, I said no matter what you will still be my first in everything, you will always be my best friend, and everything else that comes with this bond we share" Tears formed more in Naruto's eyes, as he smiled properly now and looked down from him, Sasuke left his face, and Naruto placed his head back on Sasuke's laps.
"Ah I understand, I ...completely understand Sasuke...thank you" Sasuke smiled as his fingers started to comb his blonde hair softly, feeling the smooth texture running along his long fingers. "Thank you...thank you" Naruto whispered. Sasuke looked down at him and his heart swayed with a strange feeling at the sight of him looking like he has lost everything.
But why? Why was Naruto feeling like that, why did he even question their friendship, what was happening to him. Sasuke's heart started to beat more fast, faster than before now, why was he feeling like that? His hands stopped combing his hair, as Itachi's words started coming back to him. Looking down at Naruto, what was this feeling in his heart, why did he feel so...so attracted to him, like he wanted to just...
Sasuke groaned and closed his eyes for a second. "Naruto..." his voice came out as a whisper and desire to touch the blonde in some way, in anyway grew.
Sasuke grabbed Naruto's hair and brought his head up. Naruto jerked up and gasped when he was pulled up all of a sudden, and a pair of lips claimed his in a soft kiss. Eyes widened and his hands fell to his sides when he felt Sasuke's lips pressing on his softly, gently, firmly. And now they were slowly moving on his soft ones ever so slowly, Sasuke's hands reached at the back of his head and pressed him closer, as his mouth opened and he kissed more. Naruto was still shocked at such contact...wait Sasuke was kissing him, he was kissing him.
Before he could do anything else he brought his hands up to his chest and gently pushed him away from him. Sasuke opened his eyes and looked into his teary pools of blue. His own eyes were filled with so much desire, so much emotions. Emotions he never before saw in his eyes and there was something else, Naruto knew that look in his eyes, it's the same look he gives him when he's sure that Sasuke is not aware.
"Sasuke?" his voice came out in a whisper and he blinked at him innocently. Sasuke's hands reached into his hair and he started running his fingers down his neck, his eyebrow knitted in a sad frown and cheeks tinted red. Naruto's eyes widened all of a sudden and more tears tracked down from his face when he saw that look in Sasuke's eyes.
"NO...this can't be you...Sasuke you can't, it's...it's too late"
"I know"
"But why Sasuke...why now." The raven shook his head and looked at him again.
"Don't think...just kiss me" Naruto's heart started to thump against his chest and before he knew it, his lips were claimed in a passionate kiss again. Naruto gasped but before he could say a word of protest his arms automatically wrapped around his shoulder and he was returning the kiss back. He couldn't control it, this feeling and the moment he always dreamed about, it was all happening.
Without caring what was going on around them, Sasuke brought him up to his lap and deepened the kiss more. As their mouths opened and danced rhythmically, losing themselves in each other s embrace as moans escaped their lips. Naruto tilted his head to the side and opened his mouth when Sasuke bit down on his lower lip, their mouths moved more desperately more smoothly now, tears rolled down Naruto's eyes. This was not happening. Another moan escaped his lips when Sasuke's tongue moved into his mouth, his hands came down to his face, holding him in place, while Naruto ran his across his chest and moaned loudly, not caring that they were not alone here they lost themselves.
Sasuke at this moment felt nothing but to hold his blonde... his Naruto tight, to disappear with him, he wanted to run away with him, Sasuke was angry at himself, at Naruto, he was angry at Itachi for doing this to him. He was angry and he was sad, he was too late and yet he wanted Naruto, with him in this life. And all the other lives they'll have. His heart ached for the blonde, ached with love.
Naruto tasted so sweet, he tasted of alcohol and his desire to touch him increased, he wanted Naruto, he needed him badly. He didn't want to think, he didn't want to go back to his old life. No, he wanted to start a new life, a life with Naruto, where only he and his blonde would exist.
His other hand came down as he grabbed is ass and bought him closer to his body that their chests met. Naruto felt Sasuke's other hand moved under his shirt, and started touching the smooth skin of his back now as he moaned into his mouth, their mouths not parting, not ready to stop, they asked for more and they wanted to feel more of each other. No this was not happening, why is Sasuke kissing him now after all this time, after all the years of loving him like that, why has he come to him now. Naruto's mind started to buzz, he was too drunk to stop himself but he had to for Sasuke's sake, Sasuke had a life out there, he cannot take that away from him.
Before they could lose themselves more, with much more force Naruto pulled away from him, Sasuke was at first a little shocked but then groaned at the lack of contact, he tried to kiss him again but Naruto held him back in one place.
"No stop...Sasuke" Naruto looked down at him and stood up from his lap. He rubbed his eyes to prevent his vision from getting blurry but more tears came out as he shook his head. "I ...we can't...this is wrong and this is unfair to you" Sasuke felt like he just lost his voice as Naruto stepped back from him and raised his hands up to wrap around him and cried.
"I am sorry it's too late for you and me, go back to your life, I made a mistake I shouldn't have brought you here, I really shouldn't have I just..." he looked away from him, not being able to look into those obsidian eyes filled with so much hurt, anger, regret. No Naruto can't see him like that, it was all just too painful. He stepped away a little more and without a word ran away from there leaving the Uchiha all alone on the couch.
Naruto ran back towards his friends, most of them were still drunk, some and some were just talking, Karin saw her cousin and left Suigetsu out of her death grip. The white haired boy fainted on the ground after receiving such a violent beating from her. She walked up to him and frowned.
"Oi you drunk Blondie?" she smacked her knuckles against his head and Naruto forced a smile.
"Lets get out of here Karin-chan I am really tired" She arched her eyebrow and placed her hand on her hip.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing I am just tired...lets go" with that he turned away on his heels and ran outside the house without even looking back. Karin was confused at first and looked towards the couch where she assumed she'd find Sasuke, but the raven was not there anymore. Her frown intensified as she realized something was definitely wrong and without another word she went after Naruto to catch him.
Naruto was drunk he would definitely forget everything tomorrow, for this he was glad. From a distance Sasuke was standing next his car, hidden under the shadows as he watched both Naruto and Karin walking away from there, his eyes narrowed and as they exited the lane a groan escaped his lips and he kicked the side of his car out of frustration, before he buried his head under his arms, supporting his weight against the vehicle.
What have I done...Naruto?
Hello everyone, this is my first Sasunaru fanfic, I hope you liked this chapter. I'll update the next one in about 3 to 4 days. Until then let me know what you think about this one. You can give me constructive criticism on my grammar that would help me a lot.
Also tell me how you like the plot, it came to me last night and I have been writing like mad since this morning. Another thing, this fic is not going to be a 'lets bash sakura-fic' so don't worry everyone I am not the type to bash on someone. I like Sakura, I just think she can't be with Sasuke at the moment, the guy is totally 'screwed up' in the manga. And if I get feedback it will give me more confident to write more and I will be very thankful ^_^
Spread the Sasunaru/Narusasu love people.
Arigatou Guzaimasu.
