A sense of dread had pooled low in his stomach and stayed there since he saw Naruto on TV almost a week ago. In that week the idiot hadn't tried to make any form of contact at all. He must've seen him on TV, the news was still following his separation from Sakura and reentrance into bachelorhood pretty heavily. And it wasn't too hard to find out personal information, especially for men in positions of power like they were. But still, a whole week and nothing. To be fair he hadn't reached out either but he had a plan. Did Naruto also have a plan? Was he waiting for him to make the first move? Irritated with himself and his inability to focus on anything but Naruto he pushed back from his desk, running a hand through his hair. What was it about that blonde idiot that made him lose his mind? Annoyed he logged out of his computer banging on the keyboard a little harder than necessary and decided to take his lunch break early, he was just grabbing his coat when his door opened. "Whatever it is, it can wait. I'm going to lunch"
"Lunch little brother? It's barely noon" Scowling he turned to face his brother who stood nonchalantly in the doorway
"What?"
"Is that anyway to treat your loving and kind older sibling?"
"I'm not in the mood Itachi."
"Fine I just came to tell you that I need you to go to a party for me later this evening. I'll be... unable to attend" He waved an airy hand through the air
"I see and what exactly is making you... unable"
"I have business to attend" He replied smoothly "Anyway it's tonight at the Four Season downtown. Its a benefit for some charity or another. I believe its orphan children but I can never keep them all straight" With that he turned to leave "anyway I'll need you to fill in-"
"No"
"No?"
"NO" He hated charity events and he was terrible at them. Hiding his distain for people was one of the few things he was not skilled in and he had no desire to get better. What ever Itachi's 'business' was it could be rescheduled or wait. Itachi tsked
"Hmm I thought you'd be eager to attend Sasuke. Considering the guest list"
"Why would I care about the guest list?"
"As dense as always, I was hoping you would for once do as I tell you and then let this be a surprise but I should've known better. I happen to know that a certain blonde will be in attendance tonight and I figured you'd jump at the chance to see him." Sasuke stared at his brother, looking for signs of joking or amusement. Seeing nothing he felt his heart quicken in his chest. He had originally planned to see Naruto at the conference next weekend but this would be better. Less people, more relaxed atmosphere, as well as 10 days sooner.
"Naruto is going to be at this event" He clarified. Sending him to an event with false hope would be something his evil brother would do. "You're sure about this"
"Yes" They remained locked in a stare for a few more moments before Sasuke finally relented. No matter how much he hated charity events he wouldn't pass up an opportunity to see Naruto, something Itachi knew.
"What time does it start?"
~o.0.o~
He shifted around uncomfortably in his suit as he talked to countless investors and pretended he actually cared about their opinions about the market for weaponry and their moral stance on war, politics and everything in between. Growing irritated with one such guest who he had been talking to for the last twenty minutes he politely excused himself under the pretense of seeing someone he knew on the other side of the room. As he brushed by he tried to ignore the tell tale tug at his pocket as well as a hand sneaking inside when the investor's wife slipped her number in his pocket. Really, maybe the man should spend less time focusing on world issues and more time attending to his wife. He strolled across the banquet hall, nodding to people as he passed and trying to keep his irritation and disgust off of his face. He had never been good at these things, which is why his father had always sent Itachi instead. Something Sasuke was perfectly fine with. He reached the refreshment table and sighed, glancing at his watch. He had been here for two hours and he was starting to doubt that he could stay for a moment more. The only thing keeping him here was his resolve to see Naruto and even that was wearing thin under all of the social strain this situation put him under. He sighed one more time debating leaving and waiting until the conference when a shock of blonde hair caught his attention. Snapping his head he followed the spark of color and watched as it disappeared around the corner. Unable to stop himself he set down his drink and exited the ballroom with quick decisive strides ignoring the looks he received when he unceremoniously shoved others out of the way or failed to smile at some rich idiot. Turning the same corner he had seen the blonde exit not even a minute earlier he strolled down the corridor following the sound of voices.
'didn't know... he's here...can't do this'
'Stop... plan... you said...'
'I know... harder than I thought' The voices were getting louder and easier to make out the closer he got. He had to hold himself back from actually sprinting down the hall.
'Naruto you have-' The voices cut off as soon as he turned to hall and for the first time in two weeks saw the object of his obsession in the flesh. Time seemed to slow as he drank in the man in front of him. The blue eyes he had been dreaming about every night since their last looked back at him with shock and something else he couldn't quite read. The body he craved was just as he remembered it, he had begun to wonder if he had somehow made up in his mind the effect that Naruto had on him but all that doubt was blown to bits. His body surged to life everything in him demanding that he claim what is his, right now no matter who could see. He took a step to do just that when a deep voice split the air.
"I don't believe we've met" For the first time Sasuke registered that they weren't alone in the hall. Next to Naruto stood the short yet imposing red head that he saw following him into the hospital on the News broadcast a week ago. The one that he had seen checking him out when his back was turned and he was standing way closer to the idiot than he needed to be. The sense of dread in his stomach tighten making him feel almost sick, ignoring it he looked to Naruto hoping he could clarify exactly what this man was to him. The blonde looked between the two, opening his mouth and closing it several time before taking a deep breath.
"This is Gaara... my boyfriend"
Boyfriend
The word swirled in Sasuke mind as he tried to make sense of it. How could he have a boyfriend? He had only been off the island for two weeks. Dimly he heard Naruto go on about their past friendship and reunion upon his return but the words were slow to register. Boyfriend. His eyes focused on Naruto and he took in the sifting stance and how his gaze seemed to be glued to the floor. All signs of discomfort and embarrassment.. as well as lying. But what would Naruto have to lie about? Was he trying to spare Sasukes feelings by passing some random friend off as a lover? The very thought burned threw him, he wasn't some pathetic love struck fool and if Naruto didn't want him then he should be man enough to tell him to his face. Stepping forward he stared at Naruto for the first time hoping to find some sort of deceit in his eyes anything to prove that this wasn't real.
"Can I speak to you in private" He kept his voice low but he was sure some of his feelings were showing in his gaze and in the unsteadiness of his voice. Barely restrained anger and hurt making it impossible to keep his mask as firmly in place as he would have liked. Naruto flushed his mouth opened but nothing came out. Then his vision was blocked by a flash of red
"Whatever you have to say to my boyfriend can be said in front of me" Sifting his gaze down to clash with a set of teal he felt his anger burn even hotter. How dare this man get in between him and Naruto. What gave him the right?
He is his boyfriend
The anger in him cooled as he stared at the man in front of him. He saw none of Narutos hesitation or embarrassment, no signs of lying were anywhere to be found. The man meet his glare head on and proudly claimed the blonde as his. His mind was racing trying to come up with a plausible explanation that would explain everything in a way that wouldn't paint Sasuke as a fool, but nothing came to mind. Defeated he glanced over the red head and stared into blue eyes that had come to mean so much to him in such a short time. He thought he saw something there, something that almost gave him hope before it was replaced with resolved and he looked away, effectively cutting him off. Trying to ignore the stab of pain he felt in his chest he turned on his heels and walked away. Each step feeling heavier than the last.
It wasn't supposed to end this way, he was exactly what I wanted.
And an Uchiha should always get what they want.
He stared out of his window his mind still reliving the moment, as well as the ones following. Filled with alcohol, anger, hurt, and replacements. He had tried not only to forget Naruto but prove that he was a fluke, that their were others out there that he could connect with. He had tried to talk to other men but it never felt right and he couldn't bring himself to be with a man the way he'd been with Naruto. Women were different they were for lake of a better word interchangeable, a part of him knew he'd never move past Naruto using them but he couldn't bring himself to stop. Every time he thought about the red head being with Naruto the way they'd been together, tasting him, being fucked by him, fucking him, it felt like a poison in his blood driving him crazy until he drove it out with alcohol or sex. But when he thought about actually trying to move one and try with someone new everything in him reacted against it, it was like his own body was conspiring against him keeping him locked in this endless cycle. Ever encounter left him feeling empty, two months had past and he still felt as heavy and stupid as he did in that moment. Nothing had faded.
"You said it was the red head that took charge when Naruto floundered?" Itachi's voice cut through his thoughts, he had almost forgot that his brother was in the room. It took him a minute to realize that he'd asked a question and answer it.
"Yes. Why?"
"I have a feeling that he may be the link we need in this" His eyes sliding down to his phone he tapped a few buttons before rising. "I'm going to get to the bottom of this. Don't do anything in the meantime"
"What?! You hand me pictures of the man that I've been obsessed with for months that basically proves that he wants me as much as I want him and you ask me to 'do nothing'?" The very thought of it seemed impossible. He needed to see Naruto, needed to ask so many things. Once he got his answers he wasn't sure how he'd react but he needed them.
"Yes" Fuming he stood ready to rip Itachi a new one when his brother held up a hand "We don't know what's going on here Sasuke and I don't want you stomping into something without knowing what's going on" Still fuming Sasuke conceded, no matter how much he wanted to run to Narutos office and pin the idiot down until he talked he recognized Itachi's point.
"Fine, but make it fast Itachi. I'm not sure how patient I can be" It hurt to admit but he once again had hope and it was killing him that he couldn't act upon it.
"You insult me. I'm nothing if not quick and efficient"
He wondered for the 15th time today what on earth possessed him to agree to this as he sweated enough to create a small river under his dress shirt and coat. When Hinata had announced that she was going to have a small reunion with her cousin before the extravagant Hyuuga Christmas party saying that he would come along had seemed like the proper thing to do. Now he was regretting it, why had he offered? When had he ever done the proper thing?! He had thought if he could meet a member one on one and at least know one person before the party he would feel a little more relaxed about going. But now here they were in front of an opposing door, seconds away from fainting from nerves and it was too late to turn back now.
"Kiba really it will be fine, Neji is a great guy" Hinata tried to reassure him but saying that your cousin is a nice guy didn't really help much. Sure he was nice to her but she was his little cousin! He was the guy who was currently trying to defile her! More sweat trickled down his back and he considered making a run for it. Just when he was about to bolt he heard foot steps on the other side of the door. Taking a deep breath he steeled himself, the door knobbed turned and opened to reveal a tall male version of Hinata. Her same pale grey eyes glared down at him from a sharp angular face that was framed by lose flowing black hair that fell around his shoulders. The man stood about two inches taller than his own six foot and his clothes did little to hide his lithe muscular form, making it very clear that this guy did not slack off in the gym. Feeling his nerves crank up to an even higher volume when he realized that he wasn't sure he would be able to take this guy in a fight if it came down to it. And judging by the intensity of his stare he had a feeling that it might. Worried that he could smell his fear he tried to cover it up with a smile.
"So you must be the... boyfriend" He sneered the last word in his deep patronizing voice and Kiba bristled.
"Yes I am" He bit out, wrapping an arm around Hinatas waist. He immediately wanted to take it back when the man looked down at the offending appendage with a glare so sharp he half expected lasers to jump from his eyes and burn it clear off.
"Yes well, I'm Neji. It a.. pleasure to finally meet you" Kiba held out a hand to shake but only got a raised eye brow as Neji stared down at it like it would give him some sort of life threating virus. Lowering his arm he tried to keep his smile on his face though he felt like it had morphed to serial killer proportions.
"Likewise" After a few more intense moments on the porch Hinata step forward and threw her arms around Neji breaking his glare. With a soft smile he wrapped his arms back around her and kissed the top of her head.
"I've missed you" He mumbled into her hair, she responded by squeezing him even tighter. Kiba sifted awkwardly as he watched the obvious love and affection between the two. He felt like an outsider and turned his head to give them some privacy. Once again he felt as if he had made a mistake inviting himself along on the trip. It was clear that these two had a special bond and he couldn't help but feel like he was intruding. Feeling a hand grab his wrist he looked back to see Hinata smiling up at him, her hand sliding down to link with his while another was resting comfortably on Neji's arm. The other man was still eyeing him but with a smiling Hinata in between them it wasn't as terrifying.
"Come on, Neji made dinner and he is an amazing cook. Even better than me"
"I should be since I taught you everything you know. The student has not surpassed the master just yet" He taunted, changing his voice to a lighter tone that was a lot more pleasing than the voice he had been addressing Kiba with. Smiling and feeling a little of his apprehension leave he followed his girlfriend inside. Maybe Neji wasn't so bad.
"Hose him down before bringing him in. He looks like he has fleas"
"NEJI!"
Then again didn't they always say first impression are the most accurate ones? With a defeated sigh he closed the door behind him and hung up his and Hinatas coat feeling the weight of Neji's stare on him the entire time.
He had a feeling this was going to be the start of a beautiful rively
Naruto chuckled as he received yet another text from Kiba complaining about Hinata's 'Cousin from hell'. The most recent text was ranting about how the 'prick had something shoved up his ass' and how he was going to 'set his stupid hair on fire in his sleep' because he had the nerve to call dogs 'filthy stupid creatures to dependent for their own good'. Really he hadn't seen Kiba get this worked up about anybody since... ever. His phone beeped yet again
Find me some place another beep To bury this fucks body Laughing Naruto typed back
In the interest of not becoming an accomplice I'm going to have to stop texting you
To late your my alibi. If I kill him I'm planting a shit ton of evidence at your place
That's fucked up man
Your fucked up. A real friend would want to kill my enemies
Naruto chuckled again luckily he knew he cared for Hinata way to much to do anything that would hurt her. And judging by how much he had heard about Neji and how fondly she spoke about him, killing Neji would definitely get Kiba on her hit list. Speaking of hit list
Hey Kiba where is Tenten? Is she off the island too?
Yea but she went to some city, said she had unfinished business to take care of.
Naruto felt a shiver run down his spine, he figured it was better not to know what exactly her business entailed. Another beep
That's it. He's going down
He can't be that bad
You haven't met him, He's the dekn;lgalkd;nfatgoa What the fuck
Kiba? He waited for a response but none came, after ten minutes he decided to give him a call. Maybe this Neji heard about his murder plot and decided to take him out first. The phone rang three times before some one picked up
"Kiba? You ok man? Did he kill you?" A dark chuckle
"I'm sorry Naruto but unfortunately I've left him alive. I'm sorry but Kiba will not be texting you back for the remainder of the evening. He is a guest in my home and frankly its rude that he's spent more time talking to you than conversing with me and his girlfriend." A brief pause and he could hear Kiba ranting in the background as well as Hinata trying to get him to calm down, he heard a few nasty insults before the sound of Hinata yelling over powered him. "Also thank you for not taking part in Kiba's plans to murder me. Because of this if I decide to take him out you will be spared" With a click the line went dead.
He stared at his phone for a full minute before he finally put it back in his pocket. Kiba might have his hands full trying to impress Hinatas family on Christmas. The thought of Christmas sent a pang threw him. For the past two years he had spent it with Iruka and Kakashi on the island with his friends, this was the first year where he'd really have to celebrate it at home alone. He had plans to be with Tsunade but with Jiriaya in the hospital it was probably going to be a lonely and sad affair for the both of them.
Sighing he leaned back in his chair rubbing his eyes. How many hours had he spent here today staring at a computer screen? The only muscles he ever exercised now were his eyes and fingers, his neck was all knotted up and he could feel the effect of all this stress on his muscles. He would give anything for a massage or some other stress reliever.
Flashes of Sasuke withering on the bed beneath him appeared before his eyes and he shot forward. His body automatically responding to the delicious images and going from soft to hard in record time. Glaring down at his problem willing it away, his body refusing to be denied only twitched in response. After a few more failed attempts he debated about whether he should try to leave with a boner in his pants A vision of his assistant fainting and pictures of him on the cover of a trashy tabloid with some witty title filled his mind and he cast that idea out of his head. Sighing he admitted defeat and leaning back in his chair he slowly unzipped his jeans closing his eyes and picturing somebody else's fingers sliding their hand inside. Let his mind go back to their time on the island he once fell into his fantasy, God even in his dreams Sasuke was still the
" -hottest fucking thing I've ever seen" Dark eyes glinted and with a smirk he reached up to tug me closer his lips locking with mine and kissing me passionately. I groaned drunk off of the taste of his lips and the feel of him against me. Unable to wait anymore I lined myself up with his entrance and then slowly pushed in. Both of our heads fell back with a groan as I worked myself inside the tight heat. Once I was all the way in I waited for Sasuke to adjust around me feeling his velvety walls flex and pulse was driving me insane. I watched as Sasukes eyes previously squeezed shut started to relax and his breathing even out then groaned when he moved his hips around experimentally, wiggling them before moving them in a circle. Unable to help myself I pulled out and thrust back in and was rewarded when Sasukes groaned. Keeping an even pace I pulled out and back in several times, trying to be gentle though everything in me wanted to speed things up
"Naruto… shit" He groaned when I brushed against his prostate, his back arching slightly off the bed
"What is it babe" Shocked at the endearment that had come naturally off of my tongue my rhythm faltered. Sasuke didn't seem to notice, his cheeks were flushed his mouth slightly open
"I need more, I'm not a girl damn it stop being so gentle" he growled locking his legs around my waist pulling me even deeper inside him with a groan.
"As you wish" I pulled back, sitting on my heels and grabbed Sasuke around his thighs throwing his legs over his shoulders and leaning forward pushing them back toward his chest effectively folding Sasuke in half, then plunged deep. We both groaned at the new deeper angle, unable to hold back a moment longer I pulled out and plunged back in again and again, grunting with the force of my thrust as Sasuke shook beneath me. Sasuke cried out when I angled one particular thrust to hit his prostate dead on.
"Yes right there" He sobbed, I growled slapping our hips together again and again, driving Sasuke closer and closer to release. Watching as this beautiful powerful man went to pieces beneath me was a high that I'd never known existed. I wanted more of everything, more sobs, moans, screams of my name, just more Sasuke.
"You're so tight, I could fuck you forever" I heard myself growl, God what I would give to fuck this man forever. Knowing that it would never be just made me fuck him harder. Determined to blow his mind so that he would always remember me. Remember this, wrapping my hand around his length I sped up my thrust into a punishing rhythm, hitting his sweet spot every single time dead on. He cried out his head falling back, neck arching as his body curved up into mine trapping my hand between are bodies I continued to pump him toward orgasm. His body started to spasm around me his legs squeezing my neck almost painfully. With one last thrust I felt him break apart beneath me and I'd never seen a more arousing sight. Not able to hold back I leaned back with a roar and emptied myself inside of him my hips jerking uncontrollably as I gasped out his name-
"Sasuke!" he groaned out cum spilling onto his hand and the floor beneath him. Breathing hard he relaxed back into his chair
He was so caught up in his fantasy he hadn't notice the door open or the sound of it clicking close.
Pissed Gaara continued to type away at his keyboard as he filled out yet another form from the seemingly endless stream that his boss sent him. The prick was still mad that Jiraiya had picked him personally to help with the Namikaze case. It wasn't his fault that Jiraiya knew that he was the better choice. Years behind the desk had made the chief sloppy and slow, plus Jiraiya knew that Gaara would work harder than any man to find out who was hunting Naruto, he wouldn't let anyone take his friend from him. He huffed and leaned back rubbing a hand over his eyes. At one point he had hoped for more with the blonde but it wasn't meant to be. Two months had passed and he was still head over heels for the Uchiha. It looked like it was deeper than either of them had originally thought and it wasn't going away anytime soon. So be it, he was man enough to admit defeat
The elevator door pinged signaling the arrival of someone. Gaara glanced around the empty room, all the other desk usually occupied by his colleges were vacant with everyone on leave for the holiday or out on patrols. He was the only idiot who was still here and he hadn't thought that was going to change. Curious he leaned back in his chair and peered down the hall as the doorway opened.
Out strolled an impossibly handsome man. His body wrapped in a suit that showcased his build off to perfection, his long legs ate up the hall way with long self assured strides, his dark brown hair tried back with a few pieces escaping to frame a face that he was sure had most women ready to drop their panties and spread their legs wide for him. Hell he was starting to stir a bit in his pants as well. Dark eyes locked on him and a smirk curled his full lips instantly indicating who he was dealing with.
Itachi Uchiha
Gaara's eyes hardened, his arousal dying a quick death as he put together why this man was here. It was clear from the way the dark eyes were locked on his face that he was here for him and since they had no other connections but one it was obvious what he wanted. Stretching his legs out and crossing them at the heel he waited for Itachi to continue down the rest of the hall before pulling out the seat on the other side of his desk and sinking down into it.
"Uchiha. What brings you here" He asked in a cool tone. A dark eye brow arched
"I believe you know exactly why I'm here" Gaara tilted his head feigning ignorance.
"Can't say that I do" A smirk
"Don't play dumb with me. I saw you eye fucking me down the hall a minute ago and I noticed that the second you realized who I was the gears started turning. You know why I'm here and your going to tell me exactly what I want to know" Gaara continued to stare at the man across from him, his eyes running over the relaxed posture as he leaned back in the chair owning the entire space around him. This was a man used to getting what he wanted, unfortunately for him Gaara wasn't exactly in a giving mood. Leaning back he smiled and saw how the dark eyes followed the movement and before returning to meet his, determination clear in their depths. Though neither of the men showed it they both had the same thought.
This could be a problem
I know you guys are probably all thinking 'Where the f*** have you been' but in my defense I've been having money troubles and started working two jobs as well as going to school full time so my free time is usually spent sleeping. But I'm trying my best to keep working on this, I know what's going to happen but I just haven't had the time.
One last thing, is there any couples that you would love to see besides the obvious one? All of them are kind of up for grabs, I have the main plot worked out not the sides.
Till next time!
