So, as you may or may not have read from WW2 Negotiations, I'm taking part in the 10 drabble offer going around Y!Gallery. Basically, you offer ten slots in your journal for friends to claim. If they claim a spot, they offer any pairing and prompt (with few exceptions) and I have to write a drabble for them. I've decided to post each of these 'drabbles' here, because they're turning into something more like oneshots. DX I really don't know how to cut back. Drabbles are supposed to reach 300 words tops, but the first one I wrote (WW2 Negotiations- for ConjuringaDome) reached nearly 3,400. The rest are following suit, but not quite to the same extreme. I've decided to let my first completed drabble stay as it's own story, because it's so very long, and I'm in the process of a possible sequel.

SO! Here is the next drabble I completed!

Prompt/Pairing- Kissing Lesson, Naruto/Sai

Written for- GrandLineGirl

Warnings- Mature Concepts


" Naruto?"

"Yeah?" The blonde answered through a mouthful of ramen, turning his eyes toward his teammate. Sai was looking at him with his usual blank expression, but with the small added furrow between his brows that he'd developed when he was confused or curious.

"I am doing more research on human relationships and interaction. Would you help me?" he asked, his voice as blank and unrevealing as ever. But Naruto had gotten to know his teammate during their time together in the village and on missions, so he could recognize when Sai was honestly curious or confused about something.

"Sure, no problem. Just a sec." Naruto set down his chopsticks and picked up his bowl, tipping his head back as he eagerly drained the broth. Ichiraku's really was the best. Instant ramen was good, too, but it still couldn't quite compare to the old man's work!

"So, what do you need? Nick names again, or something else?" Naruto asked, wiping his mouth as he turned back to his teammate.

"No, something new. I read about it in magazines this time." Sai confided blankly.

"Alright! Hit me." Naruto said, turning to his teammate with a friendly smile.

Sai leaned forward and pressed his mouth against Naruto's with limp lips, watching his teammate with a calculative gaze.

Naruto's eyes became wide as saucers and he fell back off his stool with an obnoxiously loud yell of surprise. He landed on his back, cutting off his yell as the air rushed from his lungs from the impact of his fall. The expression on his face was one of sheer mortification and shock.

"What the hell, Sai? What was that for?" Naruto demanded, scuttling backwards across the floor of the restaurant. A few of the other customers looked up from their food and began talking in low voices.

All Naruto needed to hear from them was 'lover's spat' before he snatched Sai by the arm and hauled him down the street with jerky strides. Sai seemed to observe Naruto's reaction coolly until the blonde was hauling him away. He didn't resist Naruto's lead, but he did seem puzzled.

"That didn't go as I'd thought it would." Sai commented thoughtfully as he was dragged down the road.

"And just how the hell did you think would happen? You shouldn't kiss other people suddenly like that, dattebayo!" Naruto scolded his teammate in a low, red faced whisper. He took a sudden left and dragged Sai inside an apartment building, and up a tall flight of stairs.

"It was supposed to be an amazing and life changing experience." Sai explained blankly, as if reciting lines from a script as he allowed Naruto to pull him along. "From what I've read, a person's first kiss can affect not only their emotions, but how they view the world. But that's not what happened. It was wet and limp, and tasted like ramen noodles."

"We, of course it wasn't that great!" Naruto exclaimed in dramatic outrage. He stopped on the fourth floor and swung quickly to the left, dragging Sai through a door way and down an expansive hallway. "You took me by surprise! I'm a much better kisser when I'm prepared!"

Sai's brow furrowed minutely as he contemplated that. Naruto finally stopped in front of an apartment door and let go of Sai's arm, digging through his pocket for a pair of keys. He unlocked the door and swung it open with a loud bang. He pushed Sai inside and slammed the door shut behind them.

Sai glanced absently around Naruto's apartment, taking in the minor mess of garbage, stray shuriken, and the tall stack of instant ramen packages beside the fridge. He wordlessly slipped off his shoes when Naruto did, and followed the blonde further inside the apartment.

"Sai," Naruto said seriously, capturing his teammate's attention. "Why did you kiss me?"

"I already told you." Sai replied. "I wanted help researching relationships. Kissing is a part of relationships."

"Then why didn't you kiss Sakura or Ino? Or, hell, any girl!"

"I didn't realize kissing was specific to girls." Sai stated gravely, beginning to look even more befuddled than before.

"Well, it's not, but…" Naruto blanched for a moment, mentally reeling that he would have to explain this at all. "Usually, boys kiss girls, and girls kiss guys. If you wanted a good first kiss, you should have found someone you really liked! And you don't just pounce on them like that! The mood was all wrong, and you obviously didn't know what you were doing."

"So… I did this wrong?" Sai asked. His expression seemed to crumple as Naruto watched, the disappointment clear in his eyes. His shoulders slumped unhappily as he started to turn back toward the door. "I guess I didn't read enough reference material. I thought that kissing you would be a good thing."

"Wait, wait, don't go." Naruto reached out and took Sai's arm, pulling him back from the doorway. "No, that wasn't the way you should have gone about it, but you're not going to learn anything different from books. I don't know what you were reading, but it seriously gave you the wrong impression."

"It was magazines that Sakura and Ino were done with. They had stories about people's first kisses, and how amazing they were. I thought that's how it always is." Sai explained.

"Aw, jeez. No wonder you're mixed up." Naruto smacked his palm against his face, grimacing as he pictured Sai flipping through girly magazines and taking it all way too seriously. Not good.

"Naruto?" Sai asked blankly.

"Yeah?" he replied, still not removing his hand from his face.

"Would you show me?"

"Show you what?"

"How to kiss?"

Naruto's head snapped up and his eyes bulged. He didn't see that coming.

"Why don't you ask the girls? I think Ino would be up for it." Naruto suggested cautiously.

"I want you to help me." Sai explained. "You said I should have kissed someone I really like. I don't like Ino and Sakura as much as I like you."

Naruto frowned at that, touched despite the little voice in the back of his head that was telling him that this could only end badly.

"I don't know if that's such a good idea…" Naruto said unsurely, but sad puppy dog look on Sai's face was starting to make him reconsider. One thing he knew about Sai was that other than his patented fake smile, the man couldn't fake an expression to save his life, outside of select missions. This hope of his was genuine. Whatever he was looking for, he seemed convinced that he would find it in a kiss.

Naruto paused before giving a defeated sigh.

"Just… close your eyes. And if anyone asks, this never happened." Naruto mumbled, feeling his cheeks flush. That little voice in his head had gone silent in shock, and another had started up a chorus of I can't believe I'm doing this, I can't believe I'm doing this, I can't believe I'm doing this….

Sai complied immediately, sliding his eyelids shut and holding still. Naruto hesitated for another few seconds before he hesitantly placed a hand on his teammate's shoulder and leaned forward. Sai's face was completely relaxed, unmoving. It was almost peaceful, as if he were taking a nap. Naruto tightened his grip wordlessly and tiled his head as he moved in. He lightly pressed his lips against Sai's.

Sai's face and body were still relaxed, but he seemed to be holding his breath. His lips were completely limp beneath Naruto's, reminding the blonde vaguely of noodles.

"Sai, move your lips against mine." Naruto pulled back a fraction to instruct his teammate in a miserably embarrassed mumble. He took a deep breath before pressing their mouths together again.

Sai finally moved. He shifted so that he was firmly pressing his hands against Naruto's chest as he tried following the blonde's lead. He returned Naruto's pressure steadily, mirroring the movement of Naruto's lips. Starting to get a feel for their connection, Naruto pulled his teammate closer, wrapping his free hand around Sai's ribs.

Nghh… Naruto thought to himself dazedly. He catches on quick….

Naruto didn't know how long he stood there, simply pressing his mouth together with Sai's and running his hands gently along the lines of his teammate's body. He completely lost track of time, space, and reality. Sai's body was burning him wherever they touched, with a painful pleasure that was growing more intense with every second that passed. When Sai pulled away, seeming to feel the sudden need for air, Naruto found himself kissing along his teammate's jaw line without even realizing what he'd started doing, and he felt a shiver tease his spine as he heard an odd noise escape the back of Sai's throat.

Sai took Naruto's face in his hands and pulled their mouths back together urgently, pressing their bodies together on instinct. Naruto nearly groaned as he felt Sai's tongue flick out to trace his lips briefly before pulling back. Naruto chased Sai's tongue with his own, earning a strangled groan of appreciation from the brunette as they tasted each other playfully. But as play steadily grew into passion, Naruto found himself grinding heartily with his friend, pulling their bodies as close together as he could manage. Sai moaned again and gave as much as he got, obviously enjoying the experience he'd only read about so far.

Naruto felt his eyes widen in shock as realization finally dawned on him. He was making out with Sai! This was so much further than just showing him how to kiss. And if the hardness pressing against his hip was what he thought it was, Sai was learning much faster than either of them had anticipated. Naruto jerked his mouth away from Sai's with a slick smacking sound and jolted away, disentangling their limbs and taking several frantic steps back. His breath came out in frantic, shocked pants that vaguely gave him the impression of having just run twenty miles without stopping. Sai watched him with wide eyes and a strangely naïve hunger in his expression.

"That… that was way more than a kiss! That should not have happened, dattebayo!" Naruto exclaimed in growing panic.

He'd just made out with his teammate.

He'd just made out with his male teammate.

He'd just made out with his male teammate, and now his pants were way too tight.

This could not be happening.

"So, your dick isn't small after all." Sai observed stoically, his eyes glued to the bulge in the front of Naruto's pants. "Now I see why kisses are so important. They lead to better things."

Sai started walking toward Naruto, serious purpose and determination in his eyes. Naruto waved his arms frantically around his head and backed up until he hit the wall, but Sai didn't stop advancing.

"L-look, Sai, I shouldn't have let things go that far! We c-can't do that, we're both guys, and we're teammates, it's totally wro-" Naruto's shouts were cut off with a loud choking sound as Sai pressed himself fully against Naruto, and buried his face in the blonde's neck. His warm, moist breath caressed Naruto's neck with an intoxicating touch, making him squeeze his eyes shut in an effort not to react. He wanted to do a transportation jutsu, substitution jutsu, or replace himself with a clone, but he just couldn't seem able to concentrate well enough.

"Please, Naruto?" Sai breathed. His voice was as devoid as ever, but there was a nearly tangible emotion in the feel of his body against Naruto's. "I want this with you. I've never felt this before…"

Naruto held still, but he couldn't help the raw panting that tore from his throat. Sai kissed softly along his throat until their lips were pressed together again. He traced the seam of Naruto's lips with the tip of his tongue in a silent question.

With an uncontrollable groan Naruto wrapped his arms fully around his teammate and pulled him closer, giving in to their combined desires.

"The student becomes the master…" Sai murmured against Naruto's lips, in a voice much too stoic to sound like a joke.

"Mmm… dattebayo." Naruto agreed heartily, before crushing their mouths together fiercely.


So, this one was fun! It was kinda weird for my to try and deviate from the Lee/Gaara pairing. I struggled with Sai for quite a bit, because his own set of emotional issues are so different from Gaara's, but I think I got the hang of him. XD

Review, review, review! Thanks!
