Storms aren't so bad Chapter 1, a naruto fanfic

It had been storming non-stop for three weeks. The weather had Orochimaru tired, ill, and bed ridden. We were stuck in one of the smaller lairs, and it was just the two of us. We were unable to change lairs as scheduled due to the bad weather. Kabuto was out on some errands for Orochimaru, and was undoubtedly losing his mind not knowing where we were.

I had been meditating for quite some time, and decided to go check on Orochimaru. I made sure to enter his room quietly in case he was sleeping. He was indeed sleeping when I walked in, so I decided to take a seat next to his bed. I allowed myself to admire his beautiful features while he slept. It was something I dare not try unless he was asleep.

I watched as his chest rose and fell with each breath he took. His face always looked so peaceful while he slept. His features definitely gave way to his tiredness though, for his eyes had heavy bags under them. I let out a content sigh and shifted into a more comfortable position on the chair. A few more minutes passed and I began to feel tired. I was just about to fall asleep when I heard Orochimaru cough.

I opened one eye and saw that he was still sleeping, so I tried to go to sleep again. My blissful moment was soon interrupted by Orochimaru going into a violent coughing fit.

He sat straight up and placed a hand over his mouth. He continued to cough violently and blood started to seep between his fingers. He looked and sounded absolutely miserable.

I quickly rose from my spot in the chair and moved to the edge of his bed. I grabbed a hold of him and started to rub his back like I'd seen Kabuto do in the past. I suppressed a yelp when my free hand was suddenly gripped rather tightly by Orochimaru.

His coughing had slowed down slightly and he groaned. "Sasuke...medicine...purple jar in the lab...top shelf on the left hand side." He could barely speak on account of his coughing, but he was finally able to finish his sentence.

I nodded once and rushed out of the room to find his medicine. Once I was in his lab, I saw the shelf he was talking about and sure enough, there was a purple jar adorning it. However, there were two purple jars. They were the same size and shape, so I could only assume they were identical. I hurriedly grabbed the one on the left and made my way back to Orochimaru's bedroom.

The moment I had handed him the jar of medicine, he gulped the entire bottle down. He heaved a few times and worked on catching his breath for several minutes. He seemed to finally calm down and he sighed. "Thank you child..." He laid back down against his large pillow and turned his head to look at me. "Oh how I tire of this weather..."

I sat down on the edge of his bed and looked at him softly. "Hn...it is quite bothersome." We sat in silence for a moment, before it dawned on me that I should ask if he was all right. "Orochimaru, are you feeling all right now? Do you need anything else?"

He shook his head. "No child, the only thing I need right now is sleep..." His eyes became heavy and he yawned softly. "You're welcome to stay though..." Orochimaru slowly closed his eyes and was asleep shortly after.

I sighed softly and moved back to my previous spot on the chair. Placing my left arm on the side of the chair, I rested my head against my hand and slowly closed my eyes. Knowing that Orochimaru was all right for the time being, I drifted off to sleep.

I was suddenly woken up by someone saying my name rather loudly. My eyes snapped open and I jumped up. I scanned the room frantically, but the only thing I saw was Orochimaru. "Wait...a young Orochimaru..?" I blinked several times, but he still appeared to be the same age as me.

Orochimaru frowned at me. "Sasuke, I think you gave me the wrong medicine..." His voice was much softer than usual, and it sounded so innocent.

I pursed my lips together. "You said the purple jar on the top shelf, left hand side. There were two identical purple jars, and I grabbed the one on the left." I couldn't take my eyes off of him.

His frown deepened and he let out a heavy sigh. "I no longer feel tired or even ill, but... just look at me Sasuke, I look absolutely—"

"Stunning." I interrupted him before he could say anything negative about himself. I immediately stood up and moved towards the bed. Not even thinking about what I was doing; I reached my hand out towards his face.

Orochimaru flinched at the sudden movement and he slapped my hand away. "What are you doing?"

I stopped moving my hand and blinked. "I wasn't going to hurt you Orochimaru." I tilted my head at him. "I can't explain it, but I just had the sudden urge to touch you." I climbed onto the bed and moved towards him.

He gulped and started to retreat to the other side of the bed. It only took a few seconds before he started to back right off of the edge. He yelped softly when he realized what was about to happen.

I quickly grabbed a hold of him so he wouldn't fall, and sat him back up on the bed. I had my hands on both of his arms and my face was extremely close to his. My eyes were moving back and forth frantically. "Orochimaru, I..."

His eyes went wide and he frowned again. "You what?"

I tried as hard as I could to form words, but nothing came to mind. I decided to rely on raw emotion alone; and before I knew it, I had closed my eyes and pressed our lips together. I in no way regretted that decision, for I had instantly felt a spark between us. I brought my hands up to cup either side of his face and continued to kiss him.

Orochimaru gasped at my sudden kiss and he immediately tensed. Gradually he calmed down and relaxed, and after another moment or so, he began to kiss me back. His trembling hands slowly made their way up my arms. He suddenly shoved my shoulders, causing me to fall backwards on the bed. He was now on top of me and deepened the kiss. Orochimaru soon pushed his tongue into my mouth and began to explore it.

I couldn't suppress a gasp as he forced me on my back and deepened our kiss. The moment I felt his tongue against my own, I groaned and tightly grabbed him by the arms. I kneaded my fingers into his skin as he began to suck on my tongue. "Ah...he may still be older than me, but...he is smaller than me now. There is no way in hell I'm letting him dominate me while he's like this." That thought in mind, I easily reversed our positions.

I took his tongue into my mouth by force and decided to give him a taste of his own medicine. I pulled away after a moment and moved my mouth to his neck. I kissed, licked, and sucked on it for a minute before making my way down to his collarbone. I immediately sank my teeth into his soft flesh and was rewarded by a soft whimper.

Orochimaru growled and grabbed my arms before pushing me upwards. His efforts were futile though, for I continued to assault his neck. He growled again. "Sas...Sasuke...ah, do remember who is older..."

I smirked against his skin and pulled away to look at him. "You're smaller than me now Orochimaru. You're delicate and fragile." I took a moment to admire the adorable state he was in; face flushed pink, eyes wide with excitement, brows furrowed in embarrassment, and those lips...they were holding such a beautiful pout, that I couldn't resist the urge to place a gentle kiss on them. "Your age has no hold over your size. Therefore...I'm not going to allow you to dominate me while you are in this condition."

His pout deepened and he huffed in frustration. "You have some nerve, you know that?" He looked up at me hopelessly and continued to pout. His long, black locks were pooled out underneath of him, and they contrasted beautifully with the white blanket. Orochimaru huffed once more before sitting up and pressing himself into my chest. He pressed his face tightly into my skin and clung to my arms. This time when he sighed, it sounded content. "Fine, fine, just as long as you're mindful of my feelings..."

My heart skipped a beat when he hugged me. And that statement he made, I could tell he was feeling quite vulnerable. I gently wrapped my arms around his slender form and cupped his head with my left hand. I had my right hand on the small of his back and I pressed a gentle kiss onto the top of his head. "Of course I'll be mindful of your feelings Orochimaru. I'm not so cruel as to force you against your will." I sighed contently as I nuzzled my face into his hair. "You are the only person left in this world who I actually care about." My voice was soft and quiet as I spoke.

"Hmm?" He shifted in my arms and looked up at me with just one eye open. "Why on earth would you care about me?"

I pursed my lips for a moment. "Because you're the only one who fully understands my darkness." I sighed softly. "I can't ever get you out of my head Orochimaru...I've been fighting my feelings for fear they would make me weak, but—"

Orochimaru cut my words short by reaching up and placing a gentle kiss on my lips."Shush, child." He nuzzled back into my chest and yawned quietly. "Just be quiet and hold me."
