Hey everyone! I'M BACK!
And guess what.
This isn't a one shot. I repeat, it is not a one-shot. ERMAHGAWD.
I honestly was suddenly inspired to write this, I don't know why. I'm not sure when I'll update, but reviews do get me motivated. *pedophile wink*
I know a lot of people dislike Sakura, and probably more will after reading this, and all I can say is, I apologize to Sakura fans. And also, initially, it will be NaruxSaku, but I can assure you, delicious NaruxSasu yaoi will be coming in later chapter(s) {I haven't decided yet}
Naruto is OOC. Sasuke is definitely OOC. Sorry about that, but it's my story. *evil grin*
Warnings: Yaoi, character due, boyboy, full on butt sex, sadness, much more angst than I'm used to. O.o
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto & Co. Unfortunately. If I did, the series would be renamed Yaoi Adventures and it would leave many scarred. Which is most likely why I don't own it. *pout*
ON WITH ZE STORY!:{D
"Congratulations!" An ecstatic blond yelled as she grinned towards her frenemy, Sakura. With one hand still entangled with Chouji's, the blond leaned over the mahogany table and landed a noisy kiss on her friend's cheek. A light blush spread across the pink haired woman, yet she couldn't help the light giggles of mirth that spilled from her lips. With a content sigh, she further snuggled into the warm embrace of her fiancé, and emerald green eyes sparkled with unrestrained joy when a tan hand softly caressed her pale cheek, before leaning down and gently capturing soft pink lips.
"It's about damn time!" Kiba whooped, roughly patting Naruto's shoulder, causing the blond to playfully glare at him. The dog boy's woolfish grin only increased in size when he saw just how damn right the two looked together. Yet, while the rookie 9 were all gathered around in a booth at a local restaurant, and congratulations were being given, the brunette couldn't help the uneasiness he was feeling. He leaned back against the cushioned chair of the booth, and with a discerning eye, nonchalantly assessed the couple that had just announced their engagement. While Sakura looked as snug as a water bug, something was off with the cheerful blond. He was happy, no doubt about that, but it didn't seem to be the right kind of happiness. The pink haired woman simply glowed in pre-marital bliss, and anyone could tell that she had wanted this for a very long time. Unlike his fiancé, Naruto exuded a calm sort of happy. The happiness you might feel when you found out the movie you had wanted for weeks had just been sold out but would be immediately restocked the day after. A light frown crossed the brunette's features, and he wondered if celebrating was the right thing to do at the moment.
Naruto, who had just been laughing at some ridiculous joke that Chouji had just told, glanced over at Kiba, who was sitting directly in front of him, when he felt an intense stare. Feeling uneasy with the unnerving look in his eyes that was certainly noticing things the blond did not want to be noticed, Naruto figured he'd better snap the brunette out of one of his rare, but very enlightening, serious moments. "Woah there Kiba, if you looked any more constipated, I might have mistaken you for Edward Cullen." The blond joked.
Kiba almost immediately jumped up in fury and pointed an accusing finger towards the blond, who was unabashedly laughing at him. "Don't. Mention. Him. Again" The brunette hissed as he plopped back down into his seat and crossed his arms.
"What was that about?" Shikamaru questioned as he surveyed Kiba's very interesting and unusual action.
The blond roared in laughter, just recalling the event, and he took some deep breaths, mentally preparing himself for this story. "Well you see, ha ha, when that Twilight movie came out, Kiba and I got dragged down to the movie première in Los Angeles, I think it was. He and I, being the gangsters that we are, " Naruto wiggled his eyebrows suggestively, but let out a small yelp of pain when his fiancé smacked him across the back of his head. With a slight pout, he continued. " decided we'd explore the place, since you know, there were a couple of famous people there, as well as the cast. And the number one place on our list, was of course, the restroom. So we walked in there, and Kiba needed to do his business, " At this point, the brunette grumbled something unintelligible under his breath and left to do Kami knows what. " So he's standing there, doing his business, when some guys starts to use the pee machine (1) right next to him, which is odd since there was about 15 empty ones. Anyhow, the guy, it turns out is that Edward Cullen, and he looks toward Kiba, looks down at Kiba's junk and groaned out in the gayest voice with the most constipated face ever, "Gaaaawd, dats HAWT." Naruto spluttered as he finished and he clutched his stomach in pain, his muscles were clenching from all the damn laughing. The others found themselves in similar situations, "And, And" the blond wheezed," the look on Kiba's face! You would think he'd been offered to have sex with Big Bird!" Naruto continued laughing uncontrollably, tears slipping from the corners of his eyes, and he slammed his head on the table, ignoring the pain, and slapped his knees. (2) Kami, he would never forget that memorable event.
Sakura, despite the strong desire to scold her fiancé for all that damn laughing, couldn't help but release a few uncontrolled giggles herself. She glanced towards the rest of group, Shikamaru was silently laughing, while mouthing troublesome, a light blush stained Hinata's cheeks and soft laughs escaped her pouty lips. Lee roared with laughter, saying something about the youthfulness of glittery people, Chouji's deep laugh resonated in the booth and his girlfriend of two years, Ino, had her head buried in his shoulder, but the slight shaking of her shoulders alerted everyone that she too was laughing. Shino's deep chuckles could be heard. Neji's slight smile was apparently all that they could get out of him, and unlike him, Tenten was in almost the exact same position as Naruto, laughing her head off.
Wiping tears from the corner of his eyes, Naruto grinned and stretched, raising his arms and arching his back. "Well, that's it for us. Gotta get the wifey home." He joked while winking at the group. Sakura smiled and playfully slapped his bicep, but wrapped her arm around his when he stood up to leave. The rest of the group shouted a mixture of goodbyes and congratulations, with a wave, Naruto and Saruka left the restaurant, and walked out into the chilly air of mid October.

Back at home, Naruto lounged around his apartment, in a pair of grey low rise sweatpants, and a t shirt that had a picture of Cartman from Southpark and a caption that read "Respect My Authority." Yawning, he scratched his muscled abdomen as he walked into his bedroom, noticing another figure already under the covers. Quietly walking over, he sat down on the bed, taking care not to disturb the person too much, and he pulled the top cover back slightly, unveiling a mop of pink hair that still managed to look shiny and controlled. Silently chuckling, the blond reached out a tan hand to brush away the hair that fallen into her face, and leaned down to place a gentle kiss on her pale forehead.
"What are you doing?" A sleep laden voice muttered, managing to sound unbearably cute.
A deep chuckle was her answer, and her eyelids fluttered open in order to meet the soft gaze of her fiancé.
"They took it pretty well, don't you think?" He quietly asked, stroking her hair.
A lazy smile crossed her features, "yeah." She softly whispered. Suddenly her emerald eyes filled with pain, self hate, and worry. "I'm so sorry Naru. I'm so sorry." She quietly began sobbing curled into a ball as she cradled her face. Gentle yet firm hands pulled them apart, and a body straddled her, putting a very minimal amount of weight on her. Naruto pried her hands open, and gazed into emerald eyes swimming with so much despair, it hurt him deeply just seeing it. A few tears rolled down her cheeks, and Naruto found himself kissing them away.
"Don't be sorry." He muttered. "Never. I agreed to this. I want you to be happy Sakura. So much. We've been through a lot together, and I've come to deeply care for you. So don't feel bad about this. Because if it makes you happy, then I'm satisfied." He quietly spoke and gently kissed her eyes which ahd fluttered shut. She opened her eyes once more and stared into the cobalt blue eyes of the man who had a heart of gold and would do anything for the people he cared for. The kindness he showed, the self-sacrifice, made the pink haired woman disgusted with herself, yet she couldn't ask him to back out of this. She simply couldn't.
"But you're not happy." She brokenly whispered as she watched the blond's retreating form. "You're not happy. Because of me." She muttered as he completely left the room, and darkness overcame her.

"I heard about the engagement." A raven haired man stiffly spoke. HIs face was emotionless, yet the blond knew he wasn't okay. He had spent so much time with the raven, he could read him better than the blond could read Dr. Seuss books.
"Yeah, Sakura is really happy about it." The blond ruefully spoke. He lifted his eyes, refusing to make contact with the still form of Sasuke, and gazed around the clearing that they were in. It was going to storm soon, angry clouds swarmed above, and strong winds shook everything in their path.
"Why?" He softly whispered, as he dug his fingernails into the palms of his clenched fists. "Why dammit! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?!" THe raven shouted, anger and sorrow overpowering any insignificant amount of pride he had. Big fat tears that blurred his vision rolled down his cheeks, and his head contracted at the foreign pain of crying. A heavy weight settled around Sasuke's heart, and he felt himself suffocating as he clutched his chest. The tears continued to come, and the raven haired man fell to his knees, ripping out the innocent grass in his path.
Naruto's breath hitched when he heard the agony filled cries of Sasuke, and yet he couldn't do anything. He couldn't move a muscle. His fists clenched and unclenched, and he emotionlessly stared at the grass as his feet. He knew the raven was screaming, crying, sobbing, heaving, he could hear it, yet his brain refused to consciously accept it.
After several tense moments, the raven had managed to quiet down to silent sobs that racked his entire body, and he wrapped his pale arms around his quivering body, and raised red eyes to stare at the man who was currently tearing out his heart, stabbing it with rusty nails, pouring acidic acid on it , putting it through a meat grinder, and sealing it in a chest of piranhas while throwing the chest into the darkest and deepest abyss.
"I don't have a choice." A strong, clear voice resonated in the clearing, and his words met with disbelief.
The raven stood on shaky legs and glared at the man standing feet away from him. "What do you mean you don't have a choice? EVERYONE HAS A FUCKING CHOICE, GOD DAMMIT. EVEN YOU. NO ONE'S FUCKING FORCING YOU TO MARRY HER. NO ONE IS FORCING YOU TO BREAK ME LIKE THIS. NO ONE FORCED YOU TO TELL ME ALL THOSE MONTHS AGO THAT YOU CARED FOR ME, THAT YOU WANTED TO BE WITH ME! NO ONE FORCED YOU TO FUCK ME. NO ONE FORCED YOU TO.." The raven dropped to his knees again, ignoring the sharp pain that shot up his knee, he must have landed ona rock. "to love me. To pretend to love me. Oh God." The raven whimpered and crawled the the blond, looking at him with an absolute agony that could never be faked. "Please tell me you didn't pretend. Please Naruto, I'm begging you. Please, Please don't let it all be a lie..." Sasuke looked into the dead azure eyes, his heart thudded heavily in his chest as he seeked an answer on which his existence was based upon. His hope quickly dwindled, the silence screaming the answer in his face.
With a muffled wail, the raven buried his face in his lap, his leg muscles straining from the rare stretch, and he felt the light drops of rain landing on his back, and within seconds, a storm had begun and he was already drenched to the bone. The thunder and lightning muffled his pained sobs, and he was so overcome with pain, his mind never registered the sound of his ex lover leaving. His cruel lover leaving him behind, after showing him the most beautiful feelings.
Naruto walked away, his heart slowly crumbling away, and he forced himself to not turn back. No he couldn't. If he did, he would rush over to the raven and take him into his arms, and beg him, plead with him for the lies he had just spewed. He would force the raven to believe that his love was real, he would do everything he could to make the raven believe he loved him, and he would his soul mate, somewhere far far away, where the blond wouldn't be charged with such a heavy and devastating burden. But he couldn't. No, he could not do that. He had made a promise, and he didn't go back on promises.
Sakura was waiting.

Hours passed, and the raven hadn't moved a single muscle. He couldn't. He was covered in mud, and a chilling cold had settled into his bones. He remotely noticed that his teeth were chattering, yet he couldn't focus on such a mundane detail.
His heart had just been torn to shreds.
Who would have thought that the person referred to as a ray of sunshine, had just plunged someone into cold and unwelcoming darkness. A set of footsteps could be heard, and he could hear yells and shouts, they sounded worried. Perhaps he should answer them, in order to tell them he was not okay at all, and needed this time to wallow in his own mud filled pity hole. Yet he found that he couldn't voice his thoughts, and he felt a set of strong arms sneaking underneath him, cradling him into his chest. The warmth this man was radiating, felt entirely too foreign and similar at the same time, but all his strength had left him and he couldn't fight back. So he did what anyone would do in his situation, he submitted to the darkness.

A FEW MONTHS AGO
"Sasuke, would you go-"
"No." The raven coldly refused. The nervous girl, who had mustered the courage to talk to the love of her life, promptly burst into tears and ran away from the cruel man, hoping to never see him again.
The raven sighed and continued to type away on his laptop, while sitting at a table for two at a local café. Of course, only one seat was occupied. He cracked his fingers, and tiredly pushed up his work glasses, and continued typing. Sasuke Uchiha was an author. A very famous one at that, but almost no one knew he was. He had a pseudo name, and he never allowed for any of his pictures to be taken. A small smile could be seen on his face at the thought. Girls went crazy for him just because of his looks, Kami knows what they would if they knew he was the incredibly famous and very desired Akatsuki.
Slugging against his chair, he glanced at his silver role watch, noticing it was already 4:45, and he had a date (in his mind) with his handsome best friend. Smiling, he shut down his laptop and packed his stuff away, and threw his cappuccino cup away as he exited the café. Jogging to his car, he neatly settled everything in, and locked his car. The restaurant he had to be at was relatively close, so he felt no need to drive over there.
With a new bounce in his step, which he would deny if anyone ever asked, because Uchiha's did not bounce. Ever. But for some reason, a lot of people tended to ignore the fact that he was an Uchiha, due to his beautiful and androgynous looks. Girls loved him, even though most would agree he tended to be prettier than them. And guys loved him not only because of his looks, but because he was like a girl, except for the annoyingness and mood swings. His eyes narrowed at that thought, but with a glance up, he found himself in front of the designated spot. Checking his hair in the window's reflection, he walked in, shivered at the blast of cold air, and scoped the area for a mop of blond hair. Finding his target, he nodded at the hostess, who looked very faint, and walked towards his friend.
"Naruto!" He tried to hide the excitement in his voice, he really did, but a light blush stained his pale cheeks when he found himself unable to do so. The aforementioned blond grinned, and stood at a whooping 6ft2, and gave the shorter raven a hug. Internally squealing, the raven eagerly wrapped his arms around the blond, inhaling the blond's unique scent, which consisted of vanilla and something else he couldn't quite name. Letting go of each other, they both took their respective seats.
"How's your day been?" The blond grinned as he asked.
"The usual. Turned another girl down." The raven replied, as he gave his order to the waitress. The blond followed suit.
"Aaw. You gotta stop doing that." The blond teased. " You keep breaking hearts, and you never know which one could be the one." He piqued.
The raven scoffed. "As if one of those annoying fangirls who are so superficial as to only fall in love with someone based on their physical appearance could ever be the 'one'" He even air quoted that last word.
"Then who would be the 'one'?" He blond questioned, unbeknownst to the raven, he scooted closer, eager to hear the answer.
Sasuke contemplated his reply, and figured, hell, he'd been in love with the buffoon since they had been paired together on that one field trip to see a Civil War museum. Where Sasuke had been accused of stealing a key chain. (3) Stupid cashier woman. DARN YOU BETTY.
"Well, he's, "He's a he?" The blond gaped in shock, and couldn't help the hope that surged in his chest. Sasuke blushed but nodded yes. "He's funny, incredibly so. And he's like a people magnet, everyone wants to be around him. He has the deepest eyes, that you could drown in, the brightness of his smile could outshine the sun, " They leaned in closer, slowly gauging the others reaction. "He always makes my heart flutter, and I've been in love with him since that Civil War field trip." The blond's eyes widened in recognition, and his lips were nearly touching Sasuke's. His heart felt as if it would burst out of his chest! Hope surged through his veins, and he couldn't deny that he desperately wished for the raven to be in love with him. Kami know's he'd been in love with the raven ever since they'd been paired together on a Civil War museum field trip and Sasuke had been accused of stealing a key chain by a cashier named Betty.
Sasuke's breath mingled with Naruto's, and onyx eyes stared into cobalt blue eyes, and he hoped that he wasn't misinterpreting those emotions swirling around. "It's you." He quietly whispered, waiting for the other's reaction. It was almost instantaneous, Naruto's lips caught Sasuke's in a passionate kiss, his tongue slowly brushing across the Uchiha's bottom lip, begging for permission. With a quite moan, Sasuke gave Naruto access and pale hands wound themselves in silky blond hair, as a tan hand ran through incredibly silky inky locks which then settled at the base of a pale neck, eagerly pulling the raven's closer to him.
Their tongues battled for dominance. "AHEM. YOUR ORDER IS READY. MISTER AND MISTER. I NEED TO SET THESE PLATES DOWN." The red-headed waitress loudly stated, caused the two to jump back into their seats, blushes staining both of their faces. The waitress rolled her eyes and smacked her gum as she set down the food, and stalked away. Sasuke shyly looked at Naruto, blushing and a glazed look in his eye. Naruto was in a similar state, but he reached a tan hand out, setting it palm up on the table. With a small smile, Sasuke placed his smaller pale hand on top, and they wound their hands together.
"I love you."
"I love you too."

Sakura buzzed around the kitchen, preparing a delicious meal for her fiancé when the slamming of the front door alarmed her. Warily, she walked out, with a spatula in hand, and almost dropped it in surprise.
Naruto had come back home, soaking wet, and lifeless eyes. Sakura felt tears well up in her eyes, and she knew, she simply knew what the blond had done. She stretched a trembling hand to the blond, who promptly gazed at her with that dead look and pushed her hand away, and forced himself into the guest bedroom.
Tears slid down the woman's pale face, she slid down against the wall, and she clutched her knees to her chest as sobs racked her body. She had done this. Her selfishness had caused all of this.
Sasuke.
(1)- I don't know what they're called. Oh wait, I think it's a urinal. Oh well, I'm too lazy to go back and change it.
(2)- When I laugh really hard, this is how I laugh. It gets embarrassing and usually causes the people near me, to laugh as well. At me.
(3)- It happened to me. The lady cashier person mistook my phone, fora damn key chain. Stupid Betty. DARN THOUST. It was a pretty cool museum though.
