~Chapter two~

Naruto slowly opened his eyes and slightly pulled back when his and Sasuke's face was inches apart. Sasuke started shifting around and suddenly pulled Naruto closer to him, causing their lips to connect. The blond froze as he felt the cold lips against his own and slowly pulled away. Carefully, Naruto got freed from Sasuke's arms and silently got off the bed. Consciously, Naruto's hands rose up to his lips and touched it. Shaking his head, he went to go take his morning shower.

Sasuke's eyes slowly opened as he heard his bedroom door open and close. Rubbing his eyes, he sat up and looked around the room. 'That's right, I had to sleep in the same room as him.' Sasuke reminded himself as he got up and went into the bathroom.

"Good morning Naru-chan." Mikoto smiled as she entered the kitchen. Naruto looked up from the cutting board and smiled, "Good morning, mom."

"What are you cooking for breakfast?"

"Um, I was thinking, maybe some pancakes, sausages and cheesy egg omelets."

"Sounds delicious." Mikoto smiled, "Where's Sasuke? Isn't he up yet?"

"No, he's still sleeping. But he should be up by now." Naruto answered as he continued chopping some green onions to go with the omelets.

"Naruto?"

"Yes?"

"Tell me the truth." Naruto stopped cutting and looked up at her, "Does Sasuke really love you?"

"I-I thought I already-"

"Stop lying Naruto." she said in a soft voice, "I know when my sons are lying. I also know that you have the biggest heart in the family, and that you will lie if necessary to protect someone."

Mikoto placed a hand over Naruto's and squeezed it, "Now, tell me the truth. I don't want you to suffer like this. If he doesn't love you then please tell me. Otherwise, I'll never be able to face your parent's grave again if you're suffering and not telling me about it." Naruto's eyes watered and tears began to fall.

"No. he doesn't love me." Naruto finally said, "He's always cold towards me, he avoids me and even ignores me. If I was lucky enough then I would get an answer from him. But regardless of that, I still love him. A one sided love. Trust me mom, I'll be okay. I will." tears fell from Mikoto's eyes and she walked around the counter to hug him.

"Oh, Naruto. … you truly have the biggest heart in the family. I'm sorry for letting Sasuke hurt you like this. If I knew, then I wouldn't have made Sasuke marry you. You deserve someone much better."

Naruto placed the knife down and hugged her back, "I'll be okay mom, I promise. I won't disappoint my parents. Nor will I disappoint you and dad. So please, don't be hard on Sasuke-sama." Mikoto pulled back and looked at him, "But look what he's put you through Naruto. I can't just let him get away with this."

"I know. But, please, I really don't want him to get hurt. I don't want him to feel even more hatred towards me. So I'm begging you, please don't tell Itachi-san or dad."

"Naruto." Mikoto sighed and wiped away Naruto's tears, "Fine. I promise."

Thirty minutes later ….

Sasuke felt his mother's glare as he and everyone sat down for breakfast. Why his mother was glaring at him, only god knows why.

"Mikoto? What's with that look you have on Sasuke?" Fugaku asked as he noticed. She looked at him and smiled, "It's nothing dear. I was just thinking is all." then everyone continued eating in silence.

After breakfast, Sasuke's family said their byes and left. Just like clockwork, Sasuke went back to the same cold person he was. He turned around and went back upstairs without as much as a single word. Naruto sighed and closed the door. When he felt a vibration on his cell phone that was tucked away in his pocket he pulled it out and flipped it opened. It was a text message. It read: "Happy early birthday Naruto. I won't be able to come see you tomorrow since I'm getting on a plane to go to the US, so I texted you this. Sorry I didn't tell you sooner, but I'm going to stay in the US to study. See you when I get back in a few years. -Sai

Naruto smiled and text back saying good luck. Then he closed his phone and looked up the stairs.

"Maybe tomorrow he'll be nicer to me. … it is my birthday after all." Naruto hoped. At the sound of approaching footsteps he looked up and saw Sasuke coming down the stairs with his briefcase.

"Sasuke-sama." Naruto said as he was in front of him, "Where are you going?"

"Work, where else do you think I'll go?" he answered coldly before walking away.

"Um, Sasuke-sama?" the raven stopped, "Can you not make any plans for tomorrow please? Tomorrow is my birthday, so I was hoping to spend the day with you." without answering, Sasuke walked out the door.

"What did I do to make you hate me Sasuke-sama?" Naruto said softly.

Later that night …..

Naruto was sitting on the couch in the living room when he suddenly heard his cell phone ringing.

"Sasuke?" he whispered before answering, "Hello?"

"Yes, is this Naruto?"

That voice wasn't Sasuke's, "Yes. May I ask why you have my husband's phone?"

"Oh, he's at my bar. He seemed to have drank too much and past out. Can you come and get him? If you can't then I'll just send him in a cab to your house if you give me your address."

"Uh, no, it's fine. I'll come get him. Just give me the address please."

"Oh, hold on a minute. …" there was a pause, "One of his friends he's with is going to drop him off."

"Oh, okay. Thank you." Naruto said before closing his phone. 'Friend?' Naruto thought, 'Who could it be? … or is it that girl?' shaking his head, Naruto stood up and started preparing the things to take care of Sasuke when he got home.

Fifteen minutes after the call, Naruto heard the doorbell. Quickly, the blond ran downstairs and opened the door. It was as he feared Sasuke was with a girl, and she was beautiful.

"Um, sorry, but Sasuke-kun had too much to drink." she said with a smile. Naruto smiled back and helped Sasuke off from her, "Thank you for sending him home." he said before closing the door.

After struggling to get Sasuke upstairs, Naruto laid him down on the bed and took off Sasuke's shoes. 'I wonder … was that the girl that …?' Naruto shook his head and placed the socks and shoes aside. Moving to Sasuke's side, Naruto grabbed the towel that was already in the bowl of water beside the bed. After squeezing the extra water out he began wiping the raven's face. Naruto placed the towel by the bowl and started unbuttoning Sasuke's shirt. As he unbuttoned a button, Naruto could feel his heart beat faster and faster. He pushed each side of the shirt aside, revealing the pale stone chest. The blond just stared dumbly at the beautiful skin in front of him. Snapping out of it, Naruto dipped to towel back into the bowl and gently wiped it across Sasuke's chest. Suddenly, Sasuke's hand shot up and grabbed Naruto's. His eyes fluttered opened and he looked up at Naruto.

"S-…Sakura." Naruto's eyes widened. He instantly pulled his hand away and turned to leave but Sasuke grabbed his wrist and pulled him back on the bed.

"S-Sasuke-sama. Please, snap out of it." Naruto pleaded as he was struggling to get free from under Sasuke.

"Sakura." Sasuke caressed Naruto's cheek, "Sakura."

"No. I'm not Sakura-chan, Sasuke-sama." Naruto said, "Let me go."

"I love you." Naruto stopped struggling and looked into the raven's eyes.

"What?""I love you." Sasuke repeated, "I love you." he leaned down and captured Naruto's lips in a kiss. Naruto's eyes widened and tears fell. When he felt Sasuke's hand lift up his shirt and started tweaking his nipples, Naruto gasped and Sasuke took that chance to turn the kiss into something more passionate. With all his strength he pushed Sasuke away and tried to make a run for it but only to get pulled back and into another kiss. Naruto finally gave in when he felt like it was no use. Sasuke was much stronger than him. That night, was a night that would change everything.

The next morning …...

Naruto opened his eyes and remembered what happened when he felt two strong arms wrapped around his waist. Tears silently fell from his eyes and muffled a sob with his hands, he didn't want to wake Sasuke. Slowly, Naruto pried the raven's arms away and got off the bed. Ignoring the pain emitting from his backside. He gathered his clothes that were scattered in the room and walked into the bathroom. Naruto quickly put his clothes back on and wiped away his tears. When they didn't stop, he turned on the water from the sink and splashed it in his face. Turning it off, he looked up and stared at his reflection. Seeing all the marks that were left from that night.

"He was only kissing Sakura-chan." Naruto said as he dried his face, "He wasn't kissing me last night. … it was Sakura-chan he was kissing." but that didn't matter as more tears fell.

Sasuke woke up at the sound of someone crying. He sat up and looked around, then he remembered what happened last night. 'Was it Sakura that I …?' he snapped out of thought when he heard someone in the bathroom. Quickly, he got his clothes back on and walked to the bathroom. It was opened. "Saku …" Sasuke froze, "ra." Naruto looked at him and quickly looked away.

"Naruto? What are you-?" he stopped when he noticed some marks on Naruto's wrists. Then it made him realize. Before he could say anything Naruto wiped away his tears and looked at him. Forcing a smile on his face. "You must be hungry, Sasuke-sama. … I'll go cook you something to eat." he quickly ran past Sasuke and rushed out the door. After a minute of thinking he ran after the blond.

"Naruto!" he grabbed the blonde's wrist and turned him around. Naruto didn't even look up at him. "Last night I-"

"I understand Sasuke-sama." Naruto interrupted him, "you don't have to explain."

"Naruto," he made him look into his eyes, "what happened yesterday, … I really didn't mean for it to happen."

"I know." a single tear fell from Naruto's eye, "you just wanted it to be with Sakura-chan. I understand. I'm willing … to forget it all."

"Aren't you mad at all?" Sasuke asked. Naruto smiled and shook his head, "I can never be mad at you Sasuke-sama. If I wasn't here, then you would be with the one you love. There's nothing to feel guilty about." Naruto gently pulled Sasuke's hand away, "you should go clean up. I'll go prepare your breakfast." with that, Naruto turned away from Sasuke and walked towards the kitchen.

After breakfast, Naruto started clearing the table. When Sasuke started helping Naruto stopped and looked at him.

"You can leave them Sasuke-sama. I'll do it. … you should get ready for work."

"Didn't you ask for me to stay for your birthday?" Naruto looked at him and looked back down.

"Sasuke-sama, … I know you're just doing this because you feel guilty. It's true that I wanted you to stay, but not because of what happened last night. Don't worry. I'll be okay." he said and disappeared into the kitchen.

Sasuke stared after the blond and sighed. "I'm not doing this because of what happened, Naruto." he whispered, "it's because I want to." but he didn't want Naruto to feel uneasy. So he left.
