Scent Of My Heart – Part 2
Sasuke stared out at the view from the window of his office, his mind nowhere near the pile of work he was supposed to be finishing. It was a loud knock on the heavy oak door to his office that made him start and broke him out of his daydreams. Gathering his thoughts together, he cleared his throat before saying in a bored tone, "Yes?" His personal assistant's head poked around the corner, a worried expression on her face as she tucked a few strands of dark hair behind her ear.
"Um, Mr Uchiha, I've been trying to connect a call to you for the last five minutes…but you haven't picked up. Is everything okay?" Her eyes scanned the sparsely decorated round room, taking in the very few photographs. One of his parents, one family portrait and one of him in his graduation garb. Finally her eyes came back to him and she was surprised to see him flushing.
"Er, yeah, I was off in my own world entirely, Shizune. Sorry. What's the call about?" he replied, quickly shifting the topic to something else before she could ask for the cause of his distraction.
"I'm not sure exactly what it's regarding…but it's your brother on the phone. Do you want me to put him through? Or I could make an excuse if you aren't up to it?" Shizune offered. The corner of Sasuke's mouth twitched upwards for a heartbeat. Shizune was very capable and he appreciated the thought, but this conversation was something he'd been expecting for the last four days.
"No, no. That's okay, you can put him through," he replied, grimacing at the prospect. "Probably wouldn't believe I was out of the office after being left on hold for this long anyway." Shizune offered a small smile before sliding back out of the large circular office.
His phone trilled quietly twice under a pile of paperwork and after digging through and locating it, he answered and Shizune said right away, "Mr Uchiha is on line two." Sasuke thanked her and pressed the button connecting him to his older brother.
"Itachi here."
"Sasuke speaking."
There was an awkward moment of silence, before Itachi spoke. "Okay, so we know whose taking part in this conversation. Moving on. Sasuke, I've had some odd reports from one of my guys working at your office. Did you, or rather, ACE staff seriously take possession of not one but eight hybrids four days ago?" Sasuke sighed, wishing the conversation was over rather than just starting.
"Temporarily," he replied shortly. A moment of quiet ensued as Itachi waited for Sasuke to elaborate. Sighing, Sasuke scowled at the desk. "Akatsuki got involved and left the mess on our doorstep. All in all, eight hybrids were taken in, one by each member of staff that was on duty."
"Including yourself?" Itachi's voice held curiosity rather than disapproval, much to Sasuke's surprise. "I didn't know that hybrids were one of your kinks or I would have recomm-"
"I do not have a hybrid kink," Sasuke growled into the phone, a muscle twitching in his cheek and a headache beginning over his right eyebrow. "I-" Before he could continue, Shizune pushed the office door open with her hip and crossed to the desk. "I meant to ask how your trip overseas went?" he forced himself to ask, unwilling to discuss anyone's kinks in front of one his employees, no matter how trusted.
Itachi chuckled and replied, "Very well, little brother. We will have at least one office opened here in France by the end of the year and I was pleasantly surprised by the level of interest that one of the visiting Italian businessmen showed in our company. So, your assistant should be gone now. Tell me about your hybrid kink. Or just about your hybrid, if that makes you feel better." He shifted straight back to the previous topic in a heartbeat, clearly enjoying provoking Sasuke.
Sasuke looked at the glass of water, the pill and the note left on the table. It's been about three minutes since you started talking to Itachi, which is usually when you need to pop an ibuprofen. God, his assistant was a blessing. He downed the pill before formulating a reply.
"Male fox hybrid. Maybe twenty or so. He was the one that caused the trouble at the Hyuga event. Who are, if you've been paying attention, paying quadruple the original fee." Sasuke couldn't prevent the tinge of pride from entering his voice.
"Yes, I was actually. That was more than well done. Not only are we earning much more than anticipated, they are still indebted to us for our silence and I can guarantee they will be loyal customers forevermore. I probably would have done the same." Itachi paused for a moment before redirecting the subject slyly. "I take it from your apparent unwillingness to speak of the hybrid that he is your…type? That's good. You need a good lay. It will get rid of those stress headaches you complain of."
"What? No! Where did you-? I mean, why-?" Sasuke spluttered, unable to form sentences.
"Hmmm. Hybrids are very attractive beings," Itachi continued, acting as if Sasuke hadn't said anything. "They have a certain charisma that attracts us humans. Almost all humans find it hard to resist sex with hybrids especially if it's what the hybrid wants, though I'm not sure why – pheromones maybe? Anyway, let me guess, you could just eat yours up or spend all day watching him? You've really got nothing to lose, you know. Hybrids can be exceptional bed partners. In fact, I once slept with – not that much sleeping got done, mind you – with this shark hybrid who could do the most incredible thing with his p-" Sasuke slammed the phone down.
He loved his brother, but the man was constantly coming up with ways to push Sasuke's buttons. Hearing about Itachi's weird sex life just… Sasuke shuddered. He didn't want to think about it too much – it was his brother. He was bothered by the conversation. Why? Because Itachi somehow hit the nail on the head.
He glanced at the monitor sitting on his desk, the generic screen saver bouncing around, and his fingers twitched with the desire to pull the keyboard towards him. The clock on the wall informed him that it was 3pm and Sasuke finally gave in, and dragged the keyboard over the desk. Within seconds, he was viewing the security feed to his apartment.
The first thing he noticed was that the dining room was no longer the dining room. It now appeared to be the lounge room. With a mental shrug, Sasuke skimmed the feeds until his breath caught in his chest when he located the fox. He appeared to be walking down the hallway from the bathroom towards the bedroom. Sasuke's heart throbbed as he saw Naruto's chest rise and fall as he inhaled deeply. Goosebumps rose on his skin as the hybrid pressed his mostly nude form against Sasuke's door, rubbing against it sensually.
So involved in the hybrid's actions, Sasuke almost jumped out of his skin when the shrill ringing of the phone next to his ear began. It seemed to require a physical effort to drag himself away from the screen, but Sasuke hit the button turning off the monitor and lifted the receiver to his ear. "Uchiha," he said sharply, shifting in his seat to ease the uncomfortable tightness of his pants. "Oh, I see. Good. Yeah, yeah. Of course. Ah, I'll ask him tonight. Bye."
x-x-x-x-x
Naruto walked around the apartment restlessly. Four days he had been here and he hadn't left the room. He was bored; even shifting the furniture around the apartment was no longer interesting. He felt somewhat hot and bothered, and wondered if maybe Sasuke's thermostat was broken. It was always so warm in the apartment, almost uncomfortably so. His energy levels were through the roof and he needed to get out and move, or maybe go to a gym.
The worst part about being left at the apartment was that Sasuke left early and came home late. Since Tsunade's visit, it felt like Sasuke had been avoiding him and it left him somewhat lonely. The smell that had been bothering him was still there, behind Sasuke's bedroom door. Naruto was so tempted to go in and roll on the huge double bed, to wrap himself in the scent. It was only the fact that Sasuke shut the door everyday that made sure he didn't go in; though his body was willing him to pass through the door as a ghost would, as if pressing against it enough would grant his desire.
Since he'd been staying with Sasuke, Naruto hadn't felt been feeling quite like himself. Naruto was beginning to wonder if there was something wrong with him. He'd never had the need for so many cold showers in his life; feeling aroused at the oddest of times – shifting furniture or watching cars drive by way down on the streets was not supposed to be arousing.
Donning nothing but a pair of black and orange shorts, Naruto lay on the couch in the former dining room and stared at the ceiling, every now and again sending a glare down to his frequently misbehaving appendage. His ears twitched when he realised the gears churning in the elevator shaft were coming to a halt at the foyer of the apartment. 4.49pm. Sasuke was home early.
Naruto rolled off the couch and moved to the foyer with a grace and agility that was beyond human ability. Sasuke stepped out of the lift, a bundle of manila folders tucked tightly under one arm, the hand of which was holding some paper bags from high end designers, briefcase clutched in the other hand and Naruto could see the deep crease between his brows.
Sasuke stiffened as his houseguest crossed the room and circled him, shoulder brushing shoulder and a sleek soft tail stroking across the back of the hand on his briefcase. Naruto leaned in close and sniffed his cheek before pulling back with a grin as he heard Sasuke's heart trying to jump from his chest. Bringing the briefcase up between them, almost shield-like, Sasuke implemented all of his self-control to project a tone of authority.
"Naruto. I need to have a shower and then I have a few things to talk to you about," he said, pulling away from the hybrid that was doing his best to make physical contact with him. Repeatedly. Transferring the manila folders to the arm holding his briefcase, Sasuke thrust the cluster of shopping bags at Naruto's chest.
The hybrid's hands came up to grasp the bags and he looked at Sasuke in confusion. "What-?" he questioned, before Sasuke interrupted.
"Clothes," he said curtly. "For you." Seeing that Naruto still had no clue as to what he was talking about, Sasuke rolled his eyes in exasperation. "Clothes for you to wear, to keep. There will be a few more items being brought up in a moment. You wait here for the person delivering. Anyway, we can talk about it when I get out of the shower." Sidestepping Naruto, Sasuke headed for his room before Naruto could tempt him anymore.
The blonde-haired man looked from the bags to the retreating shoulders before wandering back into the new lounge room to settle on the couch and dig through Sasuke's purchases. He was a little excited to see the new shirts, shorts, pants and pyjamas in the bag, though his excitement dimmed when he considered the fact that these may be some kind of parting gifts before he sent Naruto on his way, and who knew what the next place would be like. Though he could smell that Sasuke physically desired him, it wouldn't matter at all if Sasuke decided that he didn't like the idea of a hybrid living in his house.
Meanwhile, Sasuke let his head fall gently against the tiles in the shower – the cold shower – as he tried to make himself decent for a serious conversation. After finishing his shower and changing into a clean white shirt and dark blue jeans, he headed for the kitchen to cook the spaghetti to go with the bolognaise sauce that was pre-prepared in the fridge. As he dropped the pasta into the boiling water over the stove, he heard Naruto move one of the kitchen chairs and turned to ask if he was hungry.
Opening his mouth was as far as he got before all coherent thoughts escaped from his mind. Naruto had evidently decided that he was going to sample his new clothes for dinner and the result was spectacular. A black, long-sleeved shirt beneath an expensive black suit, with a cobalt blue tie that complimented his eyes, his hair carefully styled into spikes. With a few pieces of jewellery, Sasuke would wager that Naruto could pass for royalty, with or without ears and a tail.
"Uh, wow," Sasuke eventually managed to vocalise. "You look great. The clothes suit you." Naruto grinned, canines gleaming, and inclined his head in Sasuke's direction, before sitting on the kitchen stool, tail swinging lazily behind him.
"Well, you're to thank for that. First suit I've ever owned," he replied, giving a light tug on the lapels of jacket. "You know my size?" He watched as Sasuke turned lithely to stir at the pot on the stove.
"Well, you're slightly shorter and a little broader through the shoulders than I am. It was easy enough for my tailor to follow those instructions and adjust my measurements to fit you. Of course it won't be perfect until you get measured up, but it will do for now. Though, I forgot to mention your tail; I assume you made a hole in the seam? Next time that can be tailored in as well." Sasuke placed a large strainer over the sink, then carried the hot pot of spaghetti over and tipped it in.
Naruto moved over to the refrigerator to get the bolognaise sauce for Sasuke, removing the lid and putting it in the empty pasta pot to reheat. Sasuke came to stand next to him, waiting for him to move out of the way so he could finish getting dinner ready. Naruto stepped aside as Sasuke squeezed into the small gap in front of him. Turning to ask Naruto to give him space, Sasuke noticed the blonde's nostrils flare as he sniffed in Sasuke's direction.
Sasuke bit the inside of his cheek to prevent himself from chuckling at this habit he couldn't help but find cute. Naruto soon realised that he was overcrowding Sasuke, so he shrugged and walked around the island bench to plonk himself in one of the chairs. Admittedly, the view of Sasuke cooking wasn't a bad one, so he couldn't complain.
"So… This talk we need to have? And the clothes?" Naruto asked after a few minutes indulged in observing Sasuke's movements, a tinge of curiosity showing in his otherwise mellow voice. Sasuke separated the pasta into two bowls, then generously spooned the bolognaise sauce over the top. Sliding one of the bowls over the bench top to the blonde, Sasuke grabbed a chair and dragged it to the kitchen side of the bench so as to sit facing Naruto.
"Yes," he said slowly, taking the time to think about what he wanted to say. "Today I got a call from Tsunade to let me know that the results from your health check are in, and you're completely fine. There are no issues with your health at all." Sasuke saw the fox's shoulders relax slightly as if he had been fearing the worst. Before Naruto could ask any questions, Sasuke moved on to the next message that Tsunade had asked him to pass on. "Tsunade also wanted me to let you know that she's holding a Half-Party for all the hybrids involved on Friday night, if you are interested in going to see how they all are. It'll be a hybrids only gathering."
Naruto's ears pricked up at that. Half-Parties were normally held by the owners of hybrids to show off their own hybrid whilst admiring other peoples – they were called Half-Parties because some of the guests were only half human. Not only would he be getting out of this apartment, he'd get a chance to make sure his friends were okay. In the life of a hybrid, there was every chance that someone you'd spent time with for years would suddenly be whisked away, never to be heard from again.
Naruto grinned at Sasuke as he dug into his dinner. "Sounds good. When is it?"
"Tomorrow, around midday at Tsunade's place," replied Sasuke, glad that the blonde seemed happy with the idea.
"So, what about the rest of these clothes?" asked Naruto, using his fork to gesture to the suit he was wearing. "Surely they aren't all for the Half-Party… Like, I wouldn't wear a suit to a party. We're not that formal. You know, most of us being without access to such high-class things."
"Ah, now you bring me to my other point. I was wondering, do you have any skills?" Sasuke quickly realised that this question actually sounded rather offensive. Naruto's eyebrows drew together and his teeth were bared, a growl escaping his lips. Sasuke held up his hands in an attempt to placate the insulted fox. "I don't mean to sound rude. What I meant was, what job skills do you have? You seem rather bored, judging by the state of my apartment," he said, with an amused smirk, "and if you were interested I thought I might find some work for you at ACE."
This time it was Naruto's eyebrows to go upwards in surprise. A job? It was almost unheard of for hybrids to have jobs, unless it was something their owners had set for them. He amended that thought. Hybrids didn't have jobs unless it was something their owners had set for them or they were like Tsunade and were indistinguishable from the human population. Sasuke cocked his head slightly to one side and Naruto realised he was still awaiting an answer.
"Uh, well, I have decent typing and computer skills – transcribing is one of my stronger points. Cleaning, cooking, and heavy lifting – these are also areas many hybrids are useful in. We were trained to be useful to our owners." There was a shade of doubt in Naruto's response, as if he wasn't sure if about Sasuke's sincerity. Sasuke, however, seemed content.
"Good. I have the perfect job for you. You can start the day after tomorrow…unless you don't want to, of course?" Naruto hurriedly agreed with Sasuke before he could change his mind. "Okay, well then, tomorrow or the day after we'll have to go and open a bank account in your name. I'll pick you up… Hummm." Sasuke reached into his pocket and flipped open the ever-present cell phone, hitting his number four speed dial.
Naruto listened with interest as a woman answered at the other end.
"Hello? Shizune?" said Sasuke. "Do I have any meetings scheduled for tomorrow? Hmm, can you call and see if he would mind it being pushed back to Friday afternoon? Yeah. I, uh, I won't be coming in tomorrow. In fact, if you want, you can take the next two days off – paid of course – and…yeah, of course I'll manage. Thanks Shizune. Yeah, you too."
A few more phone calls and Sasuke was completely free for the next two days. Having not had much of a social life over the years he'd been working for ACE, Sasuke had a lot of paid leave built up. Using a couple of days to settle Naruto into life in the real world was pretty much Sasuke's idea of a vacation.
"As I was saying, I'll take you to Tsunade's tomorrow, and then pick you up in the evening. Then the next day, bank account in the morning, ACE in the afternoon to show you the ropes." Sasuke wore a strong look of self-satisfaction on his face. He liked to be organised, and now he had the next two days all mapped out. Oh, and then there was the fact that it was going to be two days in the company of a delectably hot hybrid.
"I'm honestly surprised that Akatsuki Entertainment put that much time into your education just make you fight," Sasuke commented after thinking for a while.
Naruto looked up from his bowl, confused. "The Akatsuki guys didn't educate us. Well not academically, anyway. They trained us in martial arts. So we could fight," he added unnecessarily. Now Sasuke looked puzzled. "They bought us off the agency when we were seventeen. The agency educates us so we can be useful to our owners. Who would want a half human pet that can't work a washing machine or read a recipe?"
Well, it was certainly true that if Naruto knew nothing upon his arrival things would have been extremely difficult, Sasuke mused silently. Naruto, he noted, was drifting away into his own thoughts brought on by the subject.
Sasuke took pleasure in watching a now absent-minded Naruto eat. Strong, slightly claw like hands, lightly muscled body that contained more power than one would consider possible, short, thick blonde hair that made Sasuke wonder what it would feel like to run his fingers through it, eyes that were wild and mesmerising, and pink lips that looked soft and inviting. Naruto raised a forkful of pasta to his mouth, delicately pulling it into his mouth to chew, his neck muscles flexing as he swallowed the morsel.
Sasuke licked his lips and sat entranced, his own forgotten fork raised halfway to his mouth, his face taking on a pink tinge. Naruto's nose twitched and he looked directly at Sasuke, almost as if he knew what Sasuke was thinking. Naruto finished the last bite of his pasta, eyes still locked on Sasuke's. Standing, he slowly prowled around the island bench to wash his bowl in the sink, right beside Sasuke's chair. For the second time that day, Sasuke felt Naruto's shoulder rub across his own and the long tail flick against his clothed leg a few times.
When Sasuke cleared his throat to talk, Naruto's eyes snapped open and he stepped back, a startled look on his face as if he hadn't even realised what he was doing. Before Sasuke could say anything, the hybrid hurriedly spoke as he backed away from the chair and its occupant.
"Uh, I'm going to bed… long day today. Shifting furniture and tomorrow…the party… Night." Sasuke was a little miffed by the change in attitude. Usually Naruto was confident, cheeky and teasing – even the way he spoke becoming more relaxed after a few days here.
Naruto leaned against the door of his bedroom, eyes shut. He could smell Sasuke's desire for him and it wasn't his first time feeling attracted to a human, but never had he been unable to control himself. If he wanted to brush against Sasuke, then that was fine, but lately he'd found his body doing things he hadn't planned for it to do. A faint shiver ran through his body as he pictured Sasuke staring at him, cheeks flushed and lips slightly parted, across the bench. Time for another cold shower.
x-x-x-x-x
Though there was some residual awkwardness the next morning, it faded as Sasuke once again managed to resume his cool, calm and collected demeanour. Naruto, though keeping his distance in the beginning, eventually forgot his own wariness in favour of being excited about the Half-Party coming up. He did a lot of pacing, trying to burn off the excess energy thought there was precious little chance of that happening.
Sasuke was amused by the blonde's glances first at the clock then more discreetly at himself, though he feigned ignorance while reading the newspaper. When he stood up at 11.45am and removed his reading glasses, Naruto rushed to the elevator, calling back to Sasuke, "I've got your coat and keys." Sasuke grinned and followed. Once in the lobby, the blonde realised that he actually had no clue where Sasuke had parked nor what colour car to look for, and so was forced to stop and wait for Sasuke to catch up to him.
Sasuke led him to another elevator, which in turn led to an underground parking garage. Looking around, it wasn't hard to pick out which belonged to the raven haired man. It was the only convertible in the underground parking garage. Sasuke loved his silver Porsche Boxter convertible. It was one of the few things he had indulged in after working his way up through the business.
Naruto had idea what constituted a good or bad car. He just knew that as the shiniest car down here, it was most likely Sasuke's. That, and the fact that it smelled like him so strongly. With a mental shrug, he waited until Sasuke said it was unlocked before climbing in, trying to inhale the myriad of scents within the car purely out of habit.
They barely talked in the car, so focused was Naruto on the prospect of seeing his friends. Looking out the window was interesting for Naruto, as he'd never really seen the city before. It was fascinating watching the people interact; it was so different to what he was used to seeing. Along the street and at bus stops, people avoided eye contact with each other and did their best to stay out of everyone else's space. In fact, some people even seemed to be offended by the accidental bumps and touches that inevitably came with close proximity.
Hybrid culture was so different. Naruto's earliest memories were of the hybrid agency's 'crèche', as it was known. After a hybrid was born, it was removed from the care of the surrogate and placed with a nurse for the first two years of its life. At the age of two, they were taken to the crèche where they stayed with other hybrids until the age of six or so. On his first night there, he had arrived at the crèche just as everyone was being put to bed. He had started to cry, little ears drooping as he looked around and found nothing familiar.
Then an older hybrid of five or six had taken him gently by the hand and led him to a bed of squirming two and three year old hybrids. Lightly pushing him into the pile of children, the older hybrid tucked in the blanket around them and headed back to his own group. As he continued to sniffle quietly, he made his first friends when a small hand slipped into his and a tongue swiped across his cheek and tears in friendly greeting. The hand belonged to a red-headed tanuki hybrid and the tongue to a brunette canine hybrid.
Pulling himself away from the memories, he realised that they had reached a well-off suburban area. He saw Sasuke's lips move slightly as he read the address from a slip of paper. Looking at the numerals on the letterboxes as they passed by, Naruto heard Sasuke's triumphant mutter of, "Aha!" as they finally found the right house. Pulling into the driveway, Naruto observed that in comparison to the other houses, this one was humongous.
That a hybrid could own a house at all, let alone one this size, amazed Naruto. The red brick giant loomed two stories tall and took up the entire block of land. They climbed out of the car and up to the door, Sasuke confidently pressing the button to ring the door bell. Tsunade opened the door, and straight away Naruto nose started twitching as he was bombarded with the scents of other humans and hybrids inside.
"Hello, Sasuke," Tsunade said, looking questioningly at his car in the driveway. "I don't see anything wrong with your car, so I'm not sure why you're at the door. This is a hybrids-only function, you know. Very exclusive." A quirk of her lips let him know that she was joking.
"Not here to stay," he replied promptly. "Just wanted to leave my mobile number with you. I haven't had time to get Naruto a cell phone yet and I didn't think to write it down before we left, so when he's ready to be picked up, someone needs my personal number – and you only have the office number, I think." Tsunade shrugged and passed over her phone to let Sasuke program in his number. Naruto she took by the shoulders and ushered him over the threshold.
Handing the phone back to Tsunade, Sasuke offered Naruto a brief wave of the hand in farewell, before heading back to his car. Tsunade shut the front door and turned to face Naruto. "You're the last to arrive. Apparently no one wanted to be later than the boss, so while you came exactly on time, everyone else arrived a little early."
Boss? Oh, right, the rest of the hybrids went with ACE employees, thought Naruto, glancing up and down the hall, curiosity radiating from him.
"I run this place as a half-way house for hybrids with nowhere else to go, with some funding from people sympathetic to the hybrid population. In this house, there are fifteen rooms on each level. There's also a basement level, which I converted to a gym and a pool area for water-type hybrids. I also own the two houses to the left of this one for the hybrids who don't like to be crowded in with everyone else. Lone wolf types," she said jokingly.
Naruto smiled at the remark, following Tsunade as she led him through the large house. Going up a flight of stairs and straight to the back of the building, he found himself walking into a large, obviously communal, living room. Everyone was chatting amongst themselves, swapping addresses while they had the opportunity. So busy watching everyone else, he didn't notice the man beside him until he felt the familiar swipe of a tongue across his cheek.
"Kiba!" he exclaimed, turning to face the brunette. Kiba grinned, his own canines showing and tail wagging enthusiastically as they took a good look at each other, checking that no damage had occurred in the past five days. Naruto was delighted to see the good-health of his friend, the eyes above the red triangle tattoos on his cheeks showing that he was just as happy to see the same was true for Naruto.
"So," Naruto grinned. "Where'd you end up?" Judging by the nice new clothes Kiba donned, whomever had taken him in was taking care of him well. In fact, a glance and sniff around the room told him that all of the other hybrids had been treated fairly well. Kiba tugged him by the wrist, leading him to a plush blue sofa.
"Hum, I got taken home by this guy, Kankuro, and he's a pretty decent sort," Kiba replied happily. "Lives in a nice apartment, plenty of food. He even has a pup named Akamaru that seems to have taken a liking to me." Naruto rolled his eyes at that. All dogs liked Kiba unless they were aggressive or territorial. "What's the guy like that took you home in the end?" he inquired with an intense curiosity. "Since you never came out of that room before we were paired off one at a time, I never got to see what he looked like. He's someone good-looking, no doubt."
Naruto started. How did Kiba know that his owner was good looking?
"He's nice, I guess. I, uh, I went home with Sasuke Uchiha," Naruto said slowly. "How did you know he's a good-looking guy? Did Tsunade or Genma mention it to you?"
"Nah, nothing like that. It's just that you kinda obviously smell…" Kiba paused uncomfortably, realising that Naruto might not be happy to hear this. Naruto made an 'out with it' motion with his hand, encouraging Kiba to continue. "Well, you smell like…a bi- a dog in heat, dude, which I assume means he floats your boat," he said apologetically, quickly adding, "not that there's anything wrong with it. It might even be normal for a hybrid?"
"In heat?" squeaked Naruto, voice rising an octave. He raised his arm and sniffed at his underarm, though he couldn't smell anything amiss. "Bullshit! You're joking, right? I smell the same as always. Something must be wrong with your nose," he accused, trying to reassure himself.
Tsunade, who had just finished talking to Hinata outside the little medical booth, heard Naruto's squeak and came over to see what he was so bothered by that he would argue with Kiba.
"I'm not lying and there's nothing wrong with my sense of smell. You're just in denial," the canine hybrid declared, outraged that his friend would even consider questioning his sense of smell. From the corner of his eye, he noticed Tsunade's approach. "Look, even ask the cougar doctor. She can probably tell too. Maybe even explain it."
Naruto turned to her, a mixture of embarrassment and panic. Clearly he didn't really want to ask the question, especially if she said that she agreed with Kiba. Unfortunately for him, she'd picked up on enough of the conversation that she didn't need to be asked. It seemed an opportune moment to talk about it, in fact, since someone else had already got the ball rolling.
"Kiba's right," she stated directly, standing in front of them. "It's one of the reasons that today's gathering was a no-human affair. There are things I have to discuss with each of you that's really only your own business. You've probably never realised it before, but the fox whose genetic material you carry is a female." Naruto looked somewhat horrified, glancing down at his lap momentarily as if to reassure himself that he was, in fact, still male.
"Am I-? Can I get…?" Naruto asked, finding it hard to speak since his throat was now dry. What he really wanted to know was whether this made him female.
"Naruto," Tsunade said sharply, catching his attention before he could start to get overanxious. "You are 100% male. You can't reproduce without a female partner; you don't have ovaries or any other female reproductive organs. The main difference is that when you meet someone you're extremely attracted to, you'll probably go into heat. It's a hormonal thing, and it's not that uncommon. Think about it. Since you've met Sasuke, have you felt any different?" There was a moment of silence between the three as Naruto thought about it.
"Oh," he breathed, relieved that there was no need for an identity crisis. Actually, this made his entire stay with the raven haired man make sense. Now that he thought about it, for the first time in days, he wasn't aching to rub against a certain someone's body and bathe in their scent. He guessed that this was due to his proximity, or lack thereof, to Sasuke. Scratching his head for a moment, he contemplated what this might mean for the future. "Er, is there anything to get rid of the…you know, the smell? I don't want every hybrid I meet to know that I'm horny; that's just awkward."
Tsunade grinned. "Have some happy time with Sasuke, and your biological urge to attempt procreation should be satisfied. I can't guarantee you won't go back into heat again in the future, but it's worked out for some of my other patients with your problem. And both you and I can smell Sasuke's desire for you…do you really think he'd knock you back, especially after taking you in?"
Kiba thumped him on the back with a grin. "See? Nothing to fuss about. All part of the screwed up DNA the scientists gave us while they were evidently getting stoned. And now, you have a medical reason to screw your owner." Seeing Naruto was about to interrupt him, Kiba rolled his eyes and said firmly, "Don't complain. It's a fact. He's your owner. He may not of paid for you, but while your with him and you depend on him, he owns you. Let's not kid ourselves here-"
"Yeah, yeah, alright," interrupted Naruto rolling his eyes, muttering under his breath, "and no one ever said I was going to complain about having Sasuke as an owner." Kiba chuckled, his hearing good enough to pick up the comment. "I was just going to say that I'm not sure your DNA is as screwed up as mine. I don't see you going into heat over any guy that melts your butter."
"Hey, I live with the fact that every time I come in contact with a dog, domestic or otherwise, I can catch their colds and whatever. That's right, I can catch kennel cough. As a fox, I'd say you're less likely to meet any foxes to make you sick in the city." Kiba rolled his eyes dramatically and Naruto grinned, always having shared Kiba's sense of humour, despite the fact that they both knew that Naruto could catch many of the same things as Kiba.
Before he could reply though, Tsunade waved to catch Kiba's attention. "I've also got to give you your health check results, if you'd like to step over here for a few minutes?" Kiba followed her to the medical booth as she started passing him some items the fox couldn't make out.
A tentative hand on his elbow made him aware of a presence behind him. He turned to find Hinata smiling sweetly, albeit shyly, at him. Her translucent wings were red with black spots, extending to just beyond her feet when fully unfolded. Most of the time, though, they folded almost flat to her back, ending halfway down her butt. Unlike a real ladybird, her wings didn't have elytra – that is, the hardened wing covers, just the pattern on her wings.
"I'm really glad to see you're safe, Naruto," she said softly, wings moving minutely behind her. "I thought you might be punished for attacking the people at the party instead of fighting me." Her lower lip quivered and she looked at the floor. Naruto moved closer to give her a gentle hug, feeling the slight tremble through her body.
"Ah, it's not your fault. I was mad at them and threw caution to the wind," he comforted, releasing her from the hug. Pulling her over to one of the large sofas, they sat down and he tried to distract her by asking other questions. "So, where did you end up, Hinata? Somewhere good and with someone nice, I hope."
Hinata's eyes lit up as she responded enthusiastically. "Oh! I went home with the leader of the ACE team – Shino! He's great!" she said, smiling warmly. Naruto was relieved that she was happy, since she was the hybrid that everyone felt most protective towards. "You know something great? He loves bugs," she confided. "He's not even worried about my…my…you know."
"Oh? You told him?" Naruto asked with astonishment. One unexpected characteristic that Hinata had picked up from the ladybird side of her genetics was a defence mechanism that activated when threatened. When feeling frightened and endangered, an alkaloid toxin was released through the pores of her skin and when another mammal touched her, it had the potential to make them very ill. They had first found out about this ability when a man from the Hyuga household had bought her from the agency at fourteen.
No one had needed to ask what he'd tried to do in the car on the way back to the estate, but the end result was that he'd come close to dying and Hinata had been sent back to the agency with threats of a lawsuit. That Hinata had felt comfortable telling Shino was amazing for two reasons. Firstly, it was something that truly embarrassed her, and secondly, it was a show of trust that he was allowed to know something that could be used against her should he ever try to hurt her.
They chatted for a few minutes before Hinata excused herself to speak to Tsunade once again. Naruto remained seated, observing the ragtag bunch of hybrids he had spent much of the past three years with. Three hybrids other than himself had come from the same agency, three were older hybrids who had been sold off after a number of years in captivity and one was a hybrid from a very secretive and exclusive agency. So many hybrids just disappeared once they were bought – it was unbelievably rare that he was lucky enough to see the seven others from the Akatsuki group again.
Shaking his head, he tried to dispel the depressing thoughts. This was something that all hybrids eventually got used to, but sometimes you just couldn't help but think about it. Standing up and stretching, he moved back over to the group to make the best of this opportunity to find out how they were.
x-x-x-x-x
A few hours later, the afternoon was coming to an end. Much to everybody's surprise, Tsunade called a meeting, saying that there were a few things she needed to talk to everyone about before they could leave. After everyone had contacted their lift home, they settled back on the couches for Tsunade's little conference.
"Before you all leave, I just wanted you to know a few things. If you every need a place to stay or medical attention of any sort, you're welcome to come back here. I'll give you our number, and should it be necessary, you can call with reverse charges and we'll even send someone to pick you up if you can't get here on your own." She looked around at the small group. "The other thing I wanted you to know is that we are trying to run a program that keeps track of hybrids."
The ears of the hybrids before her perked up, and there were a few whispers of interest.
"Basically," she continued. "What we do is enter you into a database with a current address, the type of hybrid you are and, if possible, your contact details. Then, should someone like to find you or you desire to find another hybrid, we can just look them up. To preserve your privacy and prevent anyone from locating you that you are hiding from, a third party will act as a go between. If you want to register, just come see me before you leave."
It was only after she finished speaking that the hybrids realised that for the most of them, their new owners had arrived.
Sasuke stood in the doorway, awkwardly nodding a greeting to the other ACE. Other than Shino, he hadn't really paid much attention to the other employees names, though he'd flicked through their personnel files to make sure they were suitable temporary (or perhaps permanent) homes for the displaced hybrids. He'd also had a list of the names of the hybrids taken during the Hyuga incident, along with their types of hybridity and who they went home with.
To an outsider who'd never really interacted with hybrids (he thought Tsunade didn't count, since he hadn't known she was a hybrid until the day he'd asked her for help removing Naruto's shackle), the behaviour of hybrids was fascinating to watch. Compared to humans, they were so much more touchy feely.
Naruto was waiting in line with the other hybrids. A brunette canine hybrid had an arm slung over the fox's shoulders and beside him, clutching his hand, was a petite lady bird hybrid. Remembering something Naruto had said in the car on the day that met, Sasuke examined her face a little harder and soon saw the clear resemblance she bore to the Hyuga family. Interesting. A chin on the ladybird's shoulder and the arms wrapped loosely around her waist so as not to squash her wings, belonged to a female cat hybrid with blue eyes and long blonde hair who was rolling her eyes at whatever the canine had said.
In front of the group, talking to Tsunade, was a stoic-seeming bat hybrid. The unbelievable paleness of his skin was a startling contrast to the black, leathery skin of the wings folded at his back. The hybrid turned around to reveal a tank top that only covered the upper part of his chest, creamy white skin and naval exposed below. Sasuke tuned in when he heard one of the ACE team members explaining that clothing was probably too awkward to fit around his wings. The ladybird hybrid solved this problem by wearing a halter top, it appeared.
Sasuke's gaze shifted to the last three hybrids of the group. Unlike Naruto and the others, they were in their mid thirties. The tallest among them was an arctic wolf hybrid, his white ears and tail as pure white as snow. His most distinguishing feature was the scar that ran directly over his eye; which in itself was a unique reddish orange colour that was mismatched from its dark brown partner. There were two women, standing almost pressed against him. One had long, purple hair with large black ears atop her head and a fuzzy grey and black possum tail curling around the wolf's leg. The final hybrid was a tiger hybrid, her black and orange tail flicking as she talked animatedly to her companions, black hair held up messily by a clip.
Sasuke realised that he was going to be in the way of anybody trying to leave or enter if he continued standing in the doorway. He moved down the wall little, standing with his arms crossed and watching as Naruto and his friends took turns giving their details to Tsunade.
Raising his hand to catch Naruto's attention, he gestured towards the front of the house and Naruto nodded, holding up two fingers to show he'd be out in two minutes. Nodding, Sasuke headed off to wait in his car.
After everyone finished, there was a round of hugging, followed by a second round of hugging before everyone departed to find the person taking them home. A few minutes later, there was a click as Naruto opened the door and flopped into the passenger seat, energy practically bubbling.
"I take it you enjoyed yourself," Sasuke said, starting the engine and pulling away from the curb with ease. Despite having dossiers on the hybrids, he was curious about Naruto's thoughts on everything. "How were they all doing?"
"Good, good. I really thought I'd never see them again, you know?" Naruto put his window down, deeply inhaling the scents blowing through the open window. "Two of us – Kakashi and Sai – are going to move to Tsunade's, but everyone else is staying with their ACE partner."
Sasuke pursed his lips. "Which ones were Kakashi and Sai? I mean, I've only read the names once when I was making sure everyone got back to an appropriate household."
"Ah, I forgot you don't know them. Well, Kakashi was the older dude, wolf hybrid. When we were standing in line, he was behind me with Yugao, a possum hybrid, and Anko, a tiger hybrid. Sai was the bat hybrid up front. He's alright, but kinda anti-social. And then there were the ones with me; we all grew up together. The brunette guy is Kiba. He's a mutt. Hinata's pretty unique, she's the ladybird and you don't see many of them. Last but not least, the blonde on the end was a kitty hybrid. Her name's Ino."
"So you didn't grow up with all of them?" Sasuke said, his gaze flickering with concern to Naruto's tensed shoulders. He hoped the fox wasn't feeling upset by his questions.
"Nah, just those three. There were more of us at the agency, but they were sold before Akatsuki came to look at us," replied Naruto evasively, awkwardly shifting in his seat so his head was out the window a bit further. Since the moment he'd closed the door and inhaled, he'd been drowning in Sasuke's scent. When he'd first met Sasuke, he hadn't been so aware of it, but having spent the afternoon away from the scent, he was now hypersensitive to it.
Every shift of Sasuke's body, every time he licked his lips, or swallowed, Naruto could hear it and it made him want to rub himself across the dark haired man. His scent tickled his nose and overwhelmed everything else, making it hard for Naruto to even focus on the conversation.
After an eternity, or what felt like it, Sasuke dropped Naruto outside the front of the building with the key to his apartment while he went to park his car. Once inside the elevator, Naruto was given a brief respite from the assault on his nose. This, of course, ended when he walked into the apartment. His breathing was faster and his skin tingled with the need to shuck his clothes.
"Fuck!" he panted, heading for the cool sanctuary of the bathroom as he shucked his shirt. "Going into heat? This is more like being triple dosed with an aphrodisiac after you've abstained for six months." He never made it passed the dining room.
The elevator pinged again and Sasuke entered the apartment, dropping his coat and other effects into a small coatroom near the door. He stopped dead when a pair of arms slid around his middle, a face pressed to his back.
He could hear Naruto inhaling his scent, rubbing his face into Sasuke's lower back as he knelt behind him. Moving slowly, Sasuke rested his hands lightly on the hybrids arms feeling the heat of his skin. Trailing his fingertips over as much of the exposed skin as he could reach, he watched in fascination as gooseflesh was raised and the man behind him shuddered, squeezing his arms tighter.
Taking Sasuke's movements as permission, Naruto slid his chest along Sasuke's back, pressing his arousal against Sasuke's ass. A low-pitched growl vibrated in his throat and his tongue rasped over the pale skin on the nape of Sasuke's neck. Sasuke made a sound in the back of his throat; Naruto's tongue wasn't quite as soft as a human's but it felt unbelievably good.
Still moving slowly and without turning to look at the hybrids face, Sasuke took Naruto's hand and led him to the bedroom that Naruto had only yesterday been longing to go into. When they entered the room, Naruto did what he'd wanted to do since the day he'd arrived and climbed onto the king-sized double bed, rolling and basking in the scent.
When he looked up he saw Sasuke dropping his shirt to the floor, instantly followed by jeans, leaving him in nothing but navy blue boxer briefs. Naruto rushed to follow suit, accidentally popping the button off of his new denim jeans in his haste to remove them, before crawling onto the bed, tail swishing. Unlike Sasuke, he'd forgone underwear today and his arousal stood proud in Sasuke's presence.
Looking at the Naruto crawl onto the bed, muscles rippling, Sasuke swallowed audibly. He crossed the room and slid across the sheet until he was right next to the blonde. Realising they would need lube soon he turned over and crawled to his bedside draw, grabbing the bottle and promptly dropping it on the pillow when a single growl alerted him to Naruto's approach.
Hands gripped his wrists forcefully, rolling him to lay on his back, arms stretched above his head. Naruto lowered his face to Sasuke's, lips a hair's breadth apart. The feeling of Naruto's warm breath caressing his lips prodded Sasuke to action, suddenly ducking forwards to initiate what was possibly the most mind-blowing kiss of his life. Their tongues danced together, feeding the heat between them, as they probed and tasted each other. Sasuke had to gasp for air when the kiss ended, and hissed it back out almost instantly when Naruto's lips found the pulse at the juncture of his collarbone and throat.
A single stroke of the tongue over the throbbing spot and then Naruto's lips and teeth closed over the flesh, not gently but not roughly either, sucking at the pulse. His finger's circled Sasuke's nipple administering a light pinch that was coupled with a stinging sensation at his neck. Naruto pulled back and his red-flecked eyes looked down at the bite mark, tinged with a spot of blood and purred the only thing Sasuke had understood for the last five minutes. "Mine."
Naruto swiped his tongue over the mark once more before he roughly flipped Sasuke onto his stomach, the scent of Sasuke's desire fuelling his arousal so much so that he didn't quite know which way was up anymore. His skin burned, and his blood pumped fast and faster making him feel so alive. Though he couldn't vocalise what he wanted exactly, he knew that he wanted Sasuke, right here, right now, more than he'd ever wanted anything in his life. He wanted to own and be owned by the man beneath him.
Claw-like fingers wrenched at the thin material of Sasuke's underwear, tearing it but not removing it, and he made a frustrated noise. Sasuke reached back to calm Naruto's frenzied attempts, and soon realised that he was beyond calming and that his inner fox was in control. Tsunade had called him a few days ago to warn him this might happen, since Naruto had never experienced the heat before.
Shifting his leg to the right, he hooked it over Naruto's legs and in one smooth, well orchestrated movement, he rolled them until Naruto was pinned face down on the mattress. Naruto bucked against him, unable to comprehend what this change of position might mean, except for his inner fox to think that Sasuke might leave their desires unfulfilled.
Sasuke, mimicking Tsunade's actions of days prior, leaned down and sank his teeth into the nape of Naruto's neck, the blonde hair tickling his face. Naruto completely relaxed beneath him and for a second, Sasuke freaked out thinking that perhaps he'd hurt the hybrid. But a moment later, he realised that there was a faint but constant whine of desire coming from the blonde.
Removing the remains of his shredded underwear with one hand, he kept a constant grip on Naruto's neck with his teeth, using his other hand to balance him. Underwear gone, Sasuke reached for lube, popped the cap and aimed it as best he could into his hand. Using one knee to encourage the now tranquil fox to lift his hips, Sasuke slipped a hand between them and ran his fingers over the blonde's puckered entrance to spread the slippery liquid. He eased a finger into the tight opening to lubricate the inside a little, before removing the digit and generously coating his own member with cool liquid.
Finally, Sasuke shifted Naruto's tail so it rested to one side against his hip and pressed himself against to the small, pink opening and pushed himself in slowly, finally releasing Naruto's neck to bite his own lip. Naruto groaned with unrestrained pleasure; this was what his body had been aching for all week, this was what his fox desired most entirely. The feel of Sasuke's hair brushing his back, the hiss of his pleasure as he entered that tight, hot place, the slick sweat where their heated bodies pressed together and the sweet ache of being filled made Naruto push back to meet Sasuke's first gentle thrust.
A week's worth of pent up lust, and Naruto wasn't in the mood for slow and gentle. Finally regaining his voice, he whispered hoarsely, "Oh god, Sasuke! H-harder…ugh…fill me, fuck me, screw me…", as he reached down to stroke the erection pressed against his stomach. His tail flicked against Sasuke's hip, the tip sometimes sweeping along Sasuke's exposed thigh and causing him to jerk forwards even deeper, the length of Sasuke's erection brushing long smooth lines of pleasure across his prostate.
Sasuke moaned, instantly picking up the pace. He thrust into Naruto hard, the slap of skin meeting skin throughout the room, their grunts and moans of pleasure mingling. Sasuke heard a sharp inhale and felt Naruto begin to tense before he groaned and shuddered, clamping down on Sasuke. Sasuke recognised the signs and plunged into Naruto a few more times finally breaking rhythm and finding his own toe-curling release. He slid out of Naruto and collapsed on top of the sweating, puffing, well-sated hybrid, unable to move, even if he'd wanted to.
Naruto shifted slightly so he could look up at Sasuke dreamily, eyes hooded and sleepy. "Best fuck of my life," he said completely unromantically, a mellow smile on his lips. Sasuke eventually managed to summon enough energy to pull the sheets up over them and promptly fell asleep.
x-x-x-x-x
Sasuke blinked awake, the glowing red numerals on the bedside clock informing him that time was twenty two past six in the morning. He still basked in the afterglow of his joining with Naruto, who was sprawled beside him, half of his ass and tail exposed. Staring at the handsome face, he watched as both ears and nose twitched while he dreamed. Hesitantly, Sasuke did something he'd wanted to do since he'd met Naruto and reached over, lightly touching the pointed fox ears. To his surprise the skin was thicker than he'd thought, but the fur itself was soft and silky, the hairs finer and shorter than those that adorned the fox's tail.
His lips quirked in a smile as he gently scratched below the ear. He was then forced to smother a snort when one of Naruto's legs began to twitch in time with his scratching, tail flicking. Apparently some animal traits you couldn't get rid of. He'd have to try that one while Naruto was awake sometime. Dark lashes lay against a rounded cheek and Sasuke could almost see the innocent joy that this man might once of had as a child, before his life as Naruto the hybrid began.
Shifting restlessly in bed, he became uncomfortably aware of the fluids that had stuck to both his body and sheets after they had passed out last night. Creeping out of the bed ever so carefully, trying not to wake the sleeping hybrid, Sasuke headed for his large glass shower stall. The still new taps turned silently and blessed hot – hot! – water pounded down on his back, reddening the skin. The water stung where it hit the bite mark from last night and Sasuke hissed.
"Sorry 'bout that," mumbled a sleepy eyed Naruto, peering around the door frame. Sasuke almost slipped over in his shock, not having heard the hybrid at all. Naruto, waking more by the second, eyed the soap bubbles sliding slowly down Sasuke's slick skin and grinned. It was big enough for two in there, right?
Sasuke raised an eyebrow as Naruto opened the door and stepped in behind him under the hot spray. Naruto planted a light kiss and a gentle lick on the bite mark. Sasuke looked over his shoulder with a smile. "Don't worry about it too much. I didn't raise any objections at the time; in fact, I think I quite enjoyed it." Turning to face Naruto, he watched as the fox reached around him for the bar of soap and then lathered himself up.
Leaning forward to let the water blast away the soap bubbles, Naruto sniffed. "You know, I spent ages trying to figure out what the smell was in this apartment that was driving me nuts, but it wasn't anything. It's just you, like your body's telling me that we are compatible. And when I'm near you, I can smell the blood being pumped through your veins, the life in you. It's so…addictive. I wish I could bottle it."
"Mmm, I have noticed you sniffing me and my stuff a lot," chuckled Sasuke, turning back to face the wall full of hygiene products.
He was reaching for the shampoo when he was halted by Naruto. "Sasuke," he murmured. "You're not very good at soaping, are you? You missed a bit." Pressing his soap slicked body to Sasuke's back, Naruto's hand travelled from his hip to his naval and then dropped lower, gentle strokes rousing his flaccid member to a fully hardened state.
Sasuke leaned forward, puffing slightly, using his forearms against the tiles to brace himself. Behind him, Naruto ground his own arousal against the cleft of Sasuke's ass. "Hmm, you like this right?" he teased, as the other hand came up to fondle his nipples, the nubs rising under his ministrations. "I need something to prepare you; I don't want this to hurt." Wordlessly, Sasuke passed back a new tube of lube.
Feeling Naruto's surprise, he looked over his shoulder, cheeks pink with the heat. "Tsunade told me to be prepared…there's pretty much a bottle in every room of the house at the moment." Naruto looked stunned and then he started to chuckle.
"You know, usually I don't give it up until after the first date," he said as he opened the lid of the lube. "Usually, there are some dates, some wooing, some…foreplay. I really wish we did that first, instead of my fox making me a beast entranced by lust. How do I know you even like me? Or vice versa?"
"We could stop now, and wait til we've dated before being physical…" said Sasuke, biting the inside of his cheek to keep from laughing or moaning as Naruto moved against him.
Naruto paused and frowned. "What man in his right mind would stop now? We'll just start the dating part tomorrow." Then Sasuke did start to laugh, then interrupted himself by sighing gently as Naruto probed his wrinkled opening with two lube drizzled fingers. Easing the digits in, Naruto rubbed in small circles, exploring Sasuke, until he got the reaction he was looking for. Sasuke jerked, arched and moaned against him. Naruto's tail swished happily at the sound, flicking water droplets across the tiles and glass.
After a few more seconds, Naruto turned Sasuke to face him, leaning him against the wall. Sliding his hands underneath Sasuke's thighs, he leaned forward to nibble on the parted lips presented to him. "There is one great benefit to being a hybrid, and it's that I can do this," he said, hoisting Sasuke up keeping their weight balanced. Sasuke's hands linked behind Naruto's neck and his head dropped forward onto the fox's shoulder.
Erect member set squarely against Sasuke's opening, appropriately lubricated, Naruto let gravity take care of the rest. Sasuke slid down an inch and there was a moment of pain as he felt himself stretch to accommodate Naruto's girth. After that moment, all he felt was satisfaction as he was filled, inch by tight, hot inch.
When Naruto eventually began to rock his hips forward at a steady pace, Sasuke couldn't help but whimper as felt he stirrings of that electric prickle across his skin. Letting one hand drop to his length, he stroked, and the wave of sensation began.
Unlike last night, there was no furious race to the finish line, just a slow and steady build-up of pleasure. When the wave of feeling finally broke over the two, Sasuke almost stopped breathing so strong was his release. Naruto's eyes rolled upwards and he shuddered, calling Sasuke's name. There joining this time was a gentle echo of the violent passion of last night.
Allowing Sasuke to stand and take his own weight, Naruto confessed, "I don't know if I can wait 'til after our first date to do that again." Both of the men chuckled, though neither had much energy to spare but there was a whole day together to look forward to, and maybe more.
x-x-x-x-x
A week later, Sasuke sat in his office, eyes closed, muscle in his cheek twitching. He had to make this call. But he didn't want to make this call. But he had to. But the bastard would just- No. He cut off those thoughts. I won't let him get to me. Picking up the phone he dialled and let it ring, praying for the machine to pick up instead.
"Hello, little brother," Itachi said cheerfully. "Isn't caller ID a wonderful thing? Anyway, my sources tell me your hybrid went into heat for you! Have you fuc-"
"Itachi," Sasuke interrupted, removing his reading glasses and pinching the bridge of his nose. "Let's not go there. I'm calling about a few ideas I have regarding the business."
"Oh? Would that be the business of bending him over your desk and-"
"ITACHI! FOR GOD'S SAKE, CAN YOU CUT IT OUT!" Sasuke yelled, his short tether finally snapping.
"Fine, fine. Geez, I remember the days when you worshiped me," Itachi grumbled, tone settling back into neutral and professional. "Well, I'll listen to your ideas. But only if you listen to my story about this hybrid I met on the weekend, he had the biggest-"
Beeep. Beeep.
"Hello? Sasuke?"
Sasuke popped an ibuprofen and had just swallowed it when his cell phone buzzed. Plucking it from his pocket, he took one look at the message and threw it at the wall, feeling immense satisfaction as it shattered.
We must have lost our connection. Oh well, Mom's inviting us for dinner next weekend, so I'll tell you about it then. By the way, I told her about your new hinky-kinky and she would LOVE to meet him. Talk soon. ~Tachi.

A/N:
Hey guys,
So yeah. What to say? So many of you asked why I said this was only going to be a two part story… Well, honestly? I didn't think people would enjoy it at all; I was mostly writing it for fun as a break from MTW. Then there was this crazy massive response and I was shocked. So thank you all ^_^ Depending on the response to part two, I may continue and write some more, but we'll see.
Second item I need to say that some reviewers asked questions about stuff that was waaaay out of the field for what I had in mind for this story, so I really hope you aren't too disappointing, but this was always where it was going to end up xD
Third (and most important) item, I got a mouth-wateringly brilliant giftart for SOMH from the amazingly talented littletrinks (y!gal) and I think you should all go see, love, applaud and drool because omg *HOT* Sasu in a suit and *WILD* Naru with a tail!
To see it, just go here (without the spaces, of course!):
