CHAPTER THREE
The Meeting
A knock sounded from outside the door mixing badly with the music pumping out of the headphones perched on the milky neck right below the spiky raven hair. The occupant of the room swivelled on his chair, tapping his mouse lightly. His computer screen flashed continuously as the concert continued playing; reminding Sasuke that he didn't pause it. Shrugging his dark blue blanket off of his shoulders, Sasuke took off his headphones, placed it on the table beside his keyboard and got up to open the door.
The sight that greeted him was expected and he took a step aside to allow entry for his visitor. He closed the door and sat down on the bean bag near the front door, giving his attention to the man who took his place on his computer chair.
His brother cracked his neck and leaned back on the chair then swivelled it to look at Sasuke sideways. "Sasuke, I'm going to the nearby city to finalize a deal with Konoha Corporation about the partnership with Uchiha Industries."
Sasuke blinked and cocked his head to the side. "Mmhm, yeah?"
Itachi smiled and laughed a bit. "Such a cute brother; you really make me want to buy a cat."
A scowl answered that comment. "I'm not a cat. What were you saying?"
Itachi chuckled. "I'm going to stay over there for a few days so I booked a hotel room near it for easy access. Do you want to come with me? You can go wander around there, change of scene and all though I guess it won't be that different but still."
"Ah… isn't that where Root Club is? I hear that name a lot; seems to be a cool club." Sasuke said.
Itachi smiled. "Ah, yes. Root Club is directly owned by Konoha Corporation without its own owner unlike some of their business like the Akimichi Restaurant. I hear the food is excellent there. I must say Akatsuki has forgotten about tackling the restaurant business."
"I'll check it out too then when we get there. Ah but I got no one to go with at this rate; Suigetsu is busy training for his swimming competition next month and Juugo went to Italy again to help Karin at her Salon and Spa." Sasuke hung his head back and let out a sigh. "Clubbing alone and eating out alone." He made a fake noise of crying.
"You're so amusing sometimes," Itachi chuckled. "Well, I see your problem but I think I can arrange something for you. As far as I know, Konoha's owner, Minato, has a son around the same age as you or maybe older. You want to meet him?"
"Hmmm…" Sasuke thought for a bit. "I guess..?"
"Alright, I'll tell Minato." Itachi stood up and walked over. "Go pack up and we'll leave in around an hour. I know you haven't been doing much except fuck around at the Akatsuki Club so this will be a fun trip for you."
"Ah," Sasuke grabbed his brother's wrist. "Bro, do you know what happened to Hidan? I fucked him last week and I haven't seen him since. Did I… Um, did something happen? He's wilder than I am, fucks or gets fucked by anyone who approaches him and is a seriously heavy drinker. But it's not a coincidence—it can't be."
Itachi stayed silent for a while then bent down and kissed his brother's head affectionately. "You don't know his role in Akatsuki." He stated matter-of-factly. "I made sure he didn't tell you, little brother. I wouldn't have minded his presence in your life but I will draw a line when he gets closer than that."
Sasuke blinked, a bit frozen. "'Tachi-nii, you…" He murmured, slipping back to calling his brother in Japanese. It was his habit when his brother goes overly-protective on him and scared him a bit.
"Ah, no… Well, I suppose it is a bit like with Nagato but he was fine so I absorbed him into Uchiha Industries instead of threatening him to disappear from your life. I got a good executive under me and I got him away from you so it's all good." Itachi said as if lost in thought.
"I never understood why you didn't want Nagato to stay near me; he was just my first fuck, it wasn't like it meant anything to either of us." Sasuke said, finally letting go of his brother's wrist.
Itachi ruffled Sasuke's raven hair. "He has his own issues, Sasuke. After Yahiko left to chase his dreams in Japan, Nagato was really affected even with him visiting Yahiko often and Yahiko calling him and Konan a lot. I pulled him out for his own sake and not only yours."
Sasuke took in the new information. "I didn't know that." He looked up at his brother. "Why wasn't I told earlier?"
Itachi made a noise. "Wasn't important," He said. "In any case, Hidan is a different case altogether. Under no circumstance should he be close to you, understand?"
"Okay, whatever you say, 'Tachi-nii."
"Thank you," Itachi said gently. "Now go pack, I'll come knocking when I'm done."
*~*~*SASUKE*~*~*
A black Bugatti Veyron Pur Sang smoothly zoomed past the iron gates of the Uchiha Mansion, its polished aluminium reflecting the sun and the surrounding's colours, making the clear-coated carbon monocoque part of the two-tone study car more prominent. The two occupants sat side by side inside the car, chatting idly about their destination and the workings of Konoha Corporation.
"What?" Sasuke exclaimed incredulously. "Are you serious, Itachi? How can you even think of booking us there?"
Itachi looked at his brother strangely. "I thought he stopped chasing after your ass a long time ago."
Sasuke swore. "You're impossible!" He said in disbelief. "I get with Nagato and you pull him out of my life, I get with Hidan and you threaten him to all hell, and then Neji runs after me hell bent on having sex with me and we're staying at his hotel. You're impossible."
"He's our distant cousin, Sasuke, it's not like he's dangerous anyway." Itachi said indifferently. "Besides, I thought you guys became friends afterwards."
Sasuke snorted. "Yeah, after we fucked. And that was years ago! It's not like I kept in contact with him."
Itachi made a disapproving sound. "Come now, it's been years as you said and he is our cousin, distant or not, make nice. We got the best the hotel has to offer, not to mention you get your own room with compliments."
"Ugh," Sasuke complained. "He better not be out for my ass again, Itachi."
Itachi smirked. "Aw, you're a big boy."
*~*~*SASUNARUSASU*~*~*
"My son will be here in a moment, he just went to drop off Neji at his home."
"Oh?" A deep voice reacted.
"They went to get their diplomas at college together this morning and so Neji hitched a ride for practicality's sake." The former voice replied.
"No, I didn't mean to pry." The deep voice replied softly.
The voices kept conversing, their voices mere murmurs from the carpeted hall outside the room were padded footsteps were slowly making their way closer. The owner of the steps stopped at the door to the room, knocked sharply and entered, closing the door once more behind him as he stepped in.
"Sorry I'm late. I'm Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, son of Minato. It's a pleasure."
Two dark eyes flicked over the newcomer, taking in the figure. The older stood up and extended a hand over to Naruto with a smile. "Itachi Uchiha of Uchiha Industries, I made the request to meet you; thank you for taking time out of your schedule today."
"Ah, it's alright." Naruto said uncomfortably. "I'm not that busy, really."
Itachi sat back down gracefully just as Sasuke sauntered over to Naruto, eyeing the door meaningfully. "I'm Sasuke," He said casually.
Naruto blinked then returned to his comfortable position. "Naruto. So wanna get a tour of the area? I'll bring you around."
"Okay, you boys go. We'll stay here and take care of the deal. Have fun," Minato waved.
Naruto gave a two fingered salute to his father and a polite bow to Itachi then promptly left the room.
Sasuke followed him after throwing his car keys to his brother and saying goodbye to Minato.
Once outside, Naruto peered at Sasuke curiously. Noticing this, Sasuke shrugged a bit and massaged his neck awkwardly.
"So, what kind of person are you?" Naruto asked abruptly.
Sasuke blinked in surprise. "Uh… a laid back kind?" He said, unsure. "I like to party, I'm wild and… I'm a genius but I don't really brag, I suppose."
Naruto grinned. "Hey, man, you just described me!"
The tension between them vanished and Sasuke found himself chuckling. "I'm a bit more than all I've said but yeah. Don't worry I'll behave while I'm here."
Naruto smiled then did a sort of stumble, invading Sasuke's personal space. "You straight?"
By the way Naruto said it, Sasuke was sure he understood the question and the meaning behind the word 'straight'. He pondered telling Naruto that he didn't want to say it but figured there was nothing to lose or gain. "I'm not." Sasuke replied simply.
"Oh really? Great then," Naruto said, grabbing Sasuke's wrist. He skipped down the hallway, dragging the raven with him all the way to the elevator. They got in and Naruto pecked Sasuke on the cheek then on the lips before releasing the wrist he was holding.
Sasuke looked at him, bewildered by his antics. "What are you doing?" He asked, more curious than anything else.
Naruto shrugged. "Felt like it," He said cheekily. "You hungry?"
At the change of topics, Sasuke blanched inside, his mind trying very hard to understand the man in front of him. "Sure, early dinner is fine with me." He said slowly.
"Really? Good. I'm bringing you to Akimichi Restaurant; their food is divine and varied." Naruto said happily, bounding out the elevators as it opened to the parking lot.
Naruto beeped open his car and got in, assuming that Sasuke would get in as well which he did. Inside, he turned on the engine and drove out of the parking lot towards Akimichi Restaurant.
"Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport Limited Edition." Sasuke stated matter-of-factly.
Naruto eyed his companion sideways, blue eyes showing an open expression. "Yes, this is my baby."
"It's a gorgeous thing, though I do personally like my Pur Sang." Sasuke said, tapping the dashboard.
"Pur Sang, you say? That sexy black thing?" Naruto replied, whistling afterwards.
"Yeah, Itachi got it for me as my graduation gift."
"My, that's a big gift." Naruto said, shaking his head. "I had to work hard for this baby to be mine."
"I graduated early so that's why, I guess." Sasuke said, tapping his chin.
"So, tell me about your sex on wheels."
The rest of the ride went by smoothly on talk about the Bugatti, each giving out their reasons as to why they chose their expensive rides. Eventually, Naruto revealed his urge to fuck his own car because of its sex appeal while Sasuke laughed with him, apparently agreeing to a certain degree.
When they reached the destination, Naruto parked his car on his reserved spot then got out of his baby with Sasuke. They walked in and were immediately seated and given the menus.
"Water for me and…" Naruto trailed off, looking at Sasuke.
"What are you getting?" Sasuke asked.
"Hmm…" Naruto mused. "I dunno. I feel like eating pasta so I guess I'll get Shrimp Aglio Olio. You?"
"Crab Casserole," Sasuke said, flipping the menu shut. "And water too."
The server at their table nodded then left but swiftly came back to set down their drinks.
Once again, the two were left together and they started up another conversation, this time about their favourite cuisines. Naruto apparently enjoyed noodles and so liked the Italian Cuisine but also had a love for the Japanese Cuisine. Sasuke, on the other hand, liked seafood and tomatoes, and so he jokingly told Naruto he liked the Sea Cuisine.
Soon, their respective dishes arrived and they ate, still engrossed in their topic of food with them sharing their opinion on the dishes they ate coming in the conversation as they finished.
The white doors to the kitchen opened wide revealing a chubby ginger haired man with a kind face holding a plate of sushi that slowly diminished in number as the man ate. He walked over to the middle of the restaurant straight to the centre table where two contrasting males sat opposite each other chatting idly.
The lighter contrast of the two stood up when he saw the chef approach them and went over to give a one armed hug. The chef returned it then gestured the guest to sit back down before turning to look over at the other man sitting down looking at him.
"Chouji," The chef said simply, not offering his hands which were glaringly dirty with sauce and whatnot.
Sasuke smiled smoothly and introduced himself, offering a slight nod. "Nice to meet the chef who served us such excellent food."
The man blushed, the red swirl tattoo on each of his cheeks giving out a strange contrast on his face. "Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. I've prepared desserts on the house. I hope you like them too."
Sasuke nodded. "I'm sure I'll enjoy it."
Naruto smiled happily at both of them. "We're going to Root Club after this."
"Oh!" Chouji's eyes lightened up. "My friend Shikamaru is supposed to visit the club later. He's the owner of Nara Industries now. You might know him," He said, looking at Naruto. "Uncle Minato appointed him as the head of one of the larger branches of Konoha Corporation."
"I'll be sure to look out for him later when we get there." Naruto said easily.
With a smile, Chouji retreated back to the kitchen and their desserts were served shortly after. Sasuke enjoyed the dessert just like he said he would and Naruto happily ate like usual.
*~*~*SASUNARUSASU*~*~*
Lights flashed incessantly, the different colours somehow not blinding the crowd of people dancing and drinking their way through the night. Some were even having dry sex at the dark corners while the rest seemed content to sit at the booths, nursing their drinks.
The stainless steel bar with blue lighting for the side of drinks was busy with servers going to and fro, grabbing drinks to give to the respective guests. Glasses were slid down the counter to eager and swift hands, their owners moving over to mix their drinks by themselves by the rotating alcohol dispensers on strategic spots on top of the bar. Others took empty cocktail glasses and brought them over to the jar beverage dispenser filled with Swift Chakra (The Long Island Iced Tea) and Storm Chakra (Weaker Version of The Long Island Iced Tea). While those with refined tastes took champagne glasses to the glass wine decanter globe and in contrast, the unrefined ones grabbed glass mugs over to the keg dispenser.
Even with all the happenings, the bartenders behind the bar were still busy taking orders from the guests and making the Root Club's own signature drinks that didn't include Swift and Storm Chakra. Their hand movements were quick and calculated their faces serious and concerned, as they poured liquids in automatic shakers or normal cocktail shaker.
By the other side where the guests order drinks instead of availing the ones already prepared, stood four men chatting with each other while awaiting their drinks. The gestures of two of them were still tame while the other two were wild, indicating their intoxicated levels. One of them, with his brown hair tied up in spikes, stumbled forward to his yellow haired companion and then unceremoniously kissed him.
Their kiss went in deep, tongues being shoved into the other sloppily, saliva running down from their mouths and hands grabbing at each other. The victim of the brown haired guy didn't seem to mind the aggression at all and took it with an opportunist air.
The yellow haired man shoved the other to the bar, bending him over with the force of his kiss as they swapped saliva and abused each other's lips. He shoved his leg in between the instigator's and started rubbing excitedly, relishing in the moan he received for his actions.
Then, just as suddenly as it all started, the yellow haired male was restrained by his other companion, a boy with spiky brown hair and red upside down triangle tattoos on each of his cheek. As it was, the restrained male was annoyed by the interruption, looking at his newly found prey being worried over by a new comer.
The girl had her blonde hair in a ponytail with one bang covering half of her face which swung as she reprimanded the boy with his brown hair tied up in spikes. When it seemed obvious that the boy wasn't listening she sighed loudly and restrained him from moving, looking back at the boy talking to the one he restrained. "Thanks,"
The yellow haired boy grimaced as he finished his conversation with his unwanted restrainer, shrugging himself out of the grip and rubbing his head. "Sorry, Ino, I didn't know."
"Yeah, it's fine. You just met Shikamaru so maybe he was like that, right?" The girl shrugged. "I can't bring him home though, my dad will be pissed. Can you take care of him for me, Naruto?"
"I'll do it,"
At this, the other boy in their group, forgotten in everything that was happening sidled up to Naruto and whispered in his ear, "Fun's over already?"
"Sorry, Sasuke." Naruto turned around, tugging at the other's pale wrist. "I'll make it up to you," He said, lifting up the wrist in his hold, sliding his hand down the wrist to better kiss the pale hand. "I promise,"
Sasuke shuddered, completely unused to not being the one flirting. He gave a smile and replied, "I'll help you," before moving over to the drunk Shikamaru.
Naruto smiled at the helpful gesture and grabbed the other side of Chouji's friend, carrying him to the front door with the help of the young Uchiha. "Bye, Ino." He waved awkwardly and then looked at the other boy, giving a smile. "Later, Kiba."
"Where am I going to sit by the way?" Sasuke asked outside the club, staring at the drunken form sitting on the passenger seat he sat on his way there.
An awkward grunt answered him followed by an even more awkward mumble of "You can sit on me for the mean time."
"Can't we dump him in the trunk instead?" Sasuke asked jokingly, mildly contemplating his predicament. While he had no qualms about sitting on any male's lap usually, this situation was completely out of his normal contexts to the idea.
"Erm..." Naruto opened his car door on the side of the driver. "Come on," He said lightly.
"This is going to be so awkward." Sasuke complained in a whisper, closing the passenger door. He moved over to Naruto's side and squinted as he tried to figure out how he was getting in and what position he was supposed to take. His dilemma was helped minimally by the tan arms that gently helped him move his legs over to the small space left on the passenger seat. Face heating up, he sat down on the other's lap, wrapping his arms around the strong tan neck near his face. As soon as the door was closed, he leaned back, allowing his arms to loosen their hold on the other but keeping them there in case he had to hold on.
Naruto wrestled an amused smile out of his face as he turned on the engine and sped his way home, trying to be as fast as possible. His body was tense, toned muscles bulging as he gripped the steering wheel hard. Goosebumps erupted from the left side of his neck all the way down to his hand at the warmth he felt from the boy on his lap. He breathed in stiffly and out hard, trying to ignore the tension that was trying to rise between them, eyes focused on the road. His body resisted a flinch as Sasuke's head rested on the juncture between his neck and shoulder, eyes going wide at the intimate action.
Soon, the breathing his ear was picking up evened out and he found himself being the only one awake in the car when he reached the driveway of his home. He shut off his car then, making up his mind, he slowly and carefully collected Sasuke in his arms, straining his muscles as he opened the car, stepped out and carried the slumbering male inside his house.
Luckily for him, his butler was waiting outside to open the door for him and he smiled gratefully as his maid followed him upstairs to open his room. Once inside, Naruto laid down the pale boy onto his bed then covered the body with his comforter before Sasuke started shuddering because of the air-conditioner. He spared the boy another look then he ran back down his stairs and out to carry the other boy inside but when got to his car, no one was inside.
Naruto raised his eyebrow as he locked his car and went inside the house.
"Sir, I have brought the other boy to the guest room. I hope you don't mind." The butler bowed.
"Ah, no, thanks a lot!" Naruto exclaimed, gesturing uncomfortably for his butler to stop bowing. "You helped me out. Good night!" He said in a hurry, rushing up the stairs to escape the formal behaviour that he couldn't get his butler to stop doing.
Inside his room, Sasuke was still sleeping peacefully, already settled in on his bed and pillows. Naruto chuckled a bit at the sight before entering his bathroom to brush his teeth and change his clothes. He slipped in under his comforter once he was done and shrugged to himself as he slyly spooned the other into his body, smiling happily at the heat emanating from Sasuke.
