I do not own the characters; I just like to play with them. This is my first Naruto fanfic, so please be kind. Some of the couples are a wee awkward, but deep down; I kinda like 'em. Don't hate me.
Neon Lights, Chapter Two : Don't Fall Off
Naruto ran full out, trying to catch up to the raven. "Sasuke!"
Growling, the raven stopped, and turned around. "What?"
Panting, the blond forced out, "I'm supposed to ride back with you." As he caught up to the raven, he bent at the waste, his hands on his knees and tried to catch his breath.
Growling again, Sasuke arched a black brow and pushed his hands through his hair, pulling at the strands, "You're joking?"
Naruto shook his head, stood up straight, but he still looked at the ground, apparently fascinated by his black shoes, "No. That's what Kiba and Neji said."
"I do not believe this," Sasuke groaned and looked over the blond, glaring at him. "Don't fall off."
Naruto arched a brow and tilted his head, looking over the raven, "What do you mean, 'don't fall off?'"
Sasuke pointed at the black motorcycle about six feet from where they stood, "Don't fall off."
Naruto swallowed, "That?"
The raven rolled his eyes and turned back to walk to they motorcycle, "Yes. That." His long black hair fell about his face softly, the wind blowing it all around his head. His tight jeans clinging to all the right places, his shirt clinging to his flat stomach, that leather jacket making him look all delicious… Naruto groaned.
Sasuke stood beside his bike, and swung his left leg over it - straddling it. The raven then put on his helmet and turned to look at the gaping blond, "Are you coming? I'm really in no mood to wait."
"I noticed," the blond stated. "Look, can we get something straight?"
"No. Get on the bike and let's go. I'm tired and I have to work in the morning."
"But… I've nev-"
"Well, deal with it. We're going."
"But..."
"Now," the raven growled.
The blond grudgingly moved to the bike, and swung his leg over the seat to straddle it. He positioned his bag so it ran diagonal down his back, from his right shoulder to his left hip. "What do I do now?"
Sasuke growled, "What do you mean?"
"What. Do. I. Do. Now?" The blond repeated.
"Lean forward, and wrap your arms around my waist," Sasuke said it like it was common knowledge and that Naruto should have been shot for not knowing it. He rolled his eyes and started the bike up, revving the engine.
Naruto squealed and clung tightly to the raven, burying his blond head in the crook of the raven's shoulder.
"Hold on, dobe." Sasuke said to himself, but loud enough for Naruto to catch the 'dobe' at the end. They took of like a bat out of hell, speeding down the road and weaving in and out of cars. After a particularly tight curve, Naruto squeezed Sasuke's midsection so tight he thought he was going to die. At the next stoplight, the raven turned to the blond, "What the hell! Are you trying to kill me!?" The look on Naruto's face caused Sasuke to - almost - smile. The blond looked terrified. 'Perfect!' Sasuke thought as he sped off, trying to break the land speed record. The faster Sasuke drove, the tighter Naruto held on. Nuzzling up to the drivers back, Naruto smiled to himself and took a deep breath, inhaling the scent of the other. And then they caught another curve, and Naruto whimpered out loud, clinging again to Sasuke. The driver decided that he somewhat liked the close contact of his passenger, as long as said as his passenger couldn't tell.
Much to the raven's dismay, they arrived at the apartment complex – not surprisingly well before Kiba and Neji – who had to drop Gaara and Lee of at their own building. Before Sasuke could even turn off the engine, Naruto was off of the bike, and down on all fours – shaking. "That was NOT fun," the blond whispered.
"I rather enjoyed it, thank you." Sasuke pulled off his helmet and walked past the blond, who was still on the ground, but sitting Indian-Style now. Naruto had a small smile on his lips as he looked up at Sasuke. "Except for where you were sitting on the back, and squeezing me so tight I thought I was going to die." And that effectively wiped the smile off the blond's lips.
"That's what I was trying to tell you. I've never ridden a motorcycle before."
"Well, why didn't you spit it out?"
"I tried. You wouldn't let me!" Naruto insisted.
"Right. Whatever. Just," the raven growled again, "get out of my way."
Naruto stood up quickly, and growled his own little growl. But, he buried it away, bit his lip and followed Sasuke into the building. The raven walked right past the elevator, and headed for a door marked, "Stairs." Sasuke pushed his way through the door, and headed up.
"What level are we on?" Naruto asked.
"The top," Sasuke replied, without even a look back at the blond.
"Oh… Okay." He replied.
"What can't take it, dobe?"
That was it. Naruto couldn't take it anymore. He'd had enough. Naruto dropped his bag, and it made a loud thump that echoed in the stairwell. Sasuke turned around, a smirk on his lips, "Too much for you?"
"That's it," Naruto nodded, more to himself than to Sasuke, "That's enough."
"Hn," replied the raven.
"I'm serious. Stop it."
"Stop what?" The raven asked, is voice flat.
"Stop acting like this. I didn't do anything. You're being such a…" Naruto growled, biting his lip.
Sasuke looked over the blond, his eyes burning into him. "Hn." The raven turned back around, and continued up the steps.
Naruto growled again, picked up his bag, and ran up the stairs. He stopped just behind the raven, and once they reached a platform, Naruto grabbed the others shoulder and turned him around, earning himself a very disdainful glare by the other. "What the fuck?"
"I wasn't finished."
"And?" Sasuke inquired, glaring at the blond, Sasuke was horribly bored.
"I wasn't finished-"
"And I don't care."
"Damnit, Uchiha." Naruto pushed the raven against the wall, stepped up to him, holding him there. "Stop treating me like I'm not worth your time."
"You aren't," the raven replied, his brow arched.
Naruto slammed his hands on either side of the raven's head, his eyes glowing red and the whiskers on his face becoming more prominent. The dim lighting in the stairwell made Naruto look delicious, the anger in his eyes scared Sasuke a little but he didn't let it show. His body trembled slightly, but he let it absorb into the wall he was being pushed against. The tanned body in front of him pushed him more solidly into the wall, a growl flowing from his throat. "I did not ask to be thrown into your life. If you want to be mad at someone, be mad at Neji."
"You're a great friend," the raven hissed, biting his own lip to keep from leaning forward and biting the blond's lip.
Naruto pressed his knee between the raven's legs, and forced it high, just enough to brush against the others cock effectively before he pulled it away. Surprisingly enough, Sasuke found himself to be throbbing and he almost moaned at the contact. "Get off of me, dobe."
Naruto smiled softly, the look not foreign to the blond, but with the red eyes and the whiskers mucking up his tanned flesh and beautiful blue eyes, it was enticing in a dark, strange sort of way. Sasuke growled and pushed the blond away from him, "I said get off of me."
Naruto stared at the raven, his blue eyes boring into the black pits Sasuke sucked him into, and he was completely shocked. Naruto hadn't expected to be pushed so forcefully away, nor had he expected the death glare Sasuke gave him. "Look, Uchiha, I'm sorry. I -"
"You nothing. Just, get away from me." Sasuke took off up the stairs, and left Naruto to follow him. Once they got to the top of the stairs, the raven pushed through the door and let it close quickly, smacking the blond in the face. "Ow!" Naruto exclaimed. Sasuke grinned, "Hn. Oops."
"What the fuck, Uchiha, you did that on purpose!" Naruto yelled at him and forced himself into the hallway. There were two doors in said hallway, one to the stairs, and one to the elevator. Sasuke stepped into the elevator and pushed the 'up' button, without even waiting for Naruto to get in. As the doors started to close, Naruto threw his bag in, and made the doors open again. He jumped inside the elevator, the doors closing quickly behind him, "What the fuck, Uchiha!?"
The raven didn't say anything; he just smirked at the floor, his onyx eyes downcast – as if he was studying his shoes, very intently. "Uchiha?"
"Hm?"
"What the fuck?" Naruto demanded.
"Oops."
"Bastard," said the blond, rubbing his cheek and forehead.
"Hn." Sasuke commented, "Asshole."
Naruto could feel the Kyuubi inside him growling and pawing just under the surface of his subconscious. Not now!, Naruto urged the Kyuubi - the fox demon wasn't listening. His eyes slowly turned red again, and those whiskers were making themselves known, he wasn't messing around this time. The Kyuubi growled from deep inside Naruto's throat, but the blond tried to swallow it, to no avail. The raven gave him an odd look as the elevator came to a stop and the doors opened. Stepping out the door, and into the most amazing apartment the blond had ever seen, Sasuke just walked past him and headed up another set of stairs. With the Kyuubi growling and pawing at Naruto's conscious mind, the blond tried so hard to keep himself under control, but his anger was only being fueled by the Kyuubi's need to get out.
