AN: Okay, so I'm completely terrible and slack, and I'm real sorry for not updating sooner. Thank you so much to all the people who followed/favourited/reviewed! Those notifications make my day :).
Also, 'Guest' reviewer; that was kind of rude, js. But here I am, I'm back, and I hope you enjoy the chapter.
One more thing - I'm not entirely sure, but you might find some of Suigetsu's thoughts inappropriate (in a different way from the usual pervertedness lol), so if you're offended, I apologise in advance. Enjoy the chapter :).
Suigetsu stared in awe at the blond man sitting next to him. And only half of that awe came from knowing that the stunningly perfect man was kinda on a date with him. The other half… The other half was because Naruto was freakin' downing ramen like Suigetsu downed water (reminder to self: next time don't forget water bottle when leaving work with hot guy).
Seriously, the ramen was disappearing down his throat so fast, he should've been choking on the stuff. Mmm… Maybe he had no gag reflex. Suigetsu let out a perverted giggle. God that was a nice picture, Naruto down on his knees in front of him, big blue eyes looking up seductively…
Ahem! Focus, Suigetsu! Fantasise later. First find out why the Sex God had been looking so overwhelmed back at the office – that expression only belonged on that face when it was caused by pleasure. Naruto's face was made for smiling, and anything negative looked wrong. Suigetsu chose not to examine why he felt so strongly about that point.
"Dude! Did you skip breakfast or something?" He asked the blond man.
Naruto chuckled sheepishly in between bites. "Eh, heh heh, nah. I just have a really big appetite."
Bet you have a big something else too, Suigetsu thought with a perverted leer. He didn't even care that his thoughts were probably written in bold red marker across his face. Naruto responded well to his blatant, er… Flirting? Come-ons? Sexual harassment? Okay, maybe not the last one, but still, Naruto clearly had no problems with Suigetsu's shameless whatever-it-was.
"So… You could be related to Karin, huh? My condolences." Hm. Well, he hadn't meant to say that out loud. Subtlety? What subtlety?
Blue eyes looked his way (Suigetsu had always thought that people who said they 'drowned in such and such's eyes' were full of shit, but maybe not) and thankfully, they didn't appear to be stressed or anything. In fact, Suigetsu thought those blue eyes might just be laughing at him.
Which was a relief, really, because how was Suigetsu supposed to get inside those jeans if he made the blond stress out? He'd much rather help him to relax.
Naruto hummed. "I suppose we could be related. I hope we are, honestly."
Suigetsu couldn't see why somebody would want to be related to Karin, but then again, weird shit had been happening lately. His boss was setting him up with what had to be the sexiest man alive (for his own mysterious and possibly nefarious reasons), Zabuza had told him that Haku was wearing boy-jeans for the first time in forever, and somebody actually wanted to share blood with the redheaded delusional stalker. Huh. Weird shit. Maybe he was hallucinating? Oh fuck no, if he'd been imagining the set-up with the Sex God, Suigetsu was going to kill himself. For real. He fuckin' couldn't deal with that kind of disappointment.
"Pinch me."
"What?" Naruto's mouth was gaping open.
Suigetsu gazed seriously back. "I need to know that I'm not dreaming this shit, man. Pinch me so I know I'm awake."
Large blue eyes narrowed in thought. "You know, I never actually got that. How does pinching someone prove they're awake?"
Suigetsu considered it. Huh. He'd never really thought about it before. "I dunno. Guess it's the pain?"
Naruto hmed, blue eyes intent on violet, sparkling with mischief. Suigetsu wanted to see that look on his face in a different setting… Maybe a bedroom? The kitchen table? Whose kitchen table, he didn't know, but definitely a kitchen table. That husky voice the other man spoke with also featured prominently in Suigetsu's imaginings. He'd thought husky voices only really belonged to women, but damn Naruto sounded sexy.
"Pinch pain, huh?" Naruto sounded like he was contemplating something. "Lean this way a bit?"
Like he could deny that voice anything. Suigetsu leaned forward out of his chair, feeling his stomach (okay, and maybe his dick as well) jump when that whiskered face moved closer to his own. Was Naruto going to kiss him? Coz that really wouldn't do jack to convince him that he wasn't dreaming.
But no. Disappointingly, Naruto's face moved past his own, mouth just missing brushing against Suigetsu's. The white haired man suspected his future lover/whatever was teasing him. Not so disappointingly, Naruto softly nudged Suigetsu's jaw with his nose, murmuring, "Let's see if this helps, shall we?"
Before Suigetsu could reply – which could have taken awhile, he was still trying to get his breath back – Naruto had pressed against Suigetsu's skin in a light kiss, causing whatever breath he'd managed to regain to leave his lungs once more. He had no chance to get it back again, because he immediately felt Naruto's lips part and the sharp sting of teeth nipping at his flesh.
Oh fuck me, was the immediate thought that rang through Suigetsu's mind as Naruto drew back, looking mighty pleased with himself. He had to fight the urge to pull the blond man back to him and smash their mouths together in an immensely satisfying teenage-reminiscent make-out session. The fact that they were sitting in plain view in a ramen stand was completely irrelevant to Suigetsu's lust fogged mind.
"What was that?" He heard himself ask faintly, still short of breath and disconnected from reality.
Naruto grinned at him, blue eyes dark with his own desire. Suigetsu shivered at the sight of those white teeth. "Pinch pain," Naruto said, as though that were explanation enough for him reducing the other man to a Suigetsu-shaped pile of horny mush.
"I asked you to pinch me, Naruto. Pinch me. Not prey on my weakness like that." God, he was still fuckin' fighting against his almost non-existent self-control.
That tooth baring grin widened even more. "I couldn't help myself."
Yeah well, if Suigetsu ended up jumping the Uzumaki and fucking his brains out, Naruto would be hearing the exact same excuse.
"Do you still think you're dreaming?" Naruto asked, smirking mischievously.
Suigetsu considered, forcing his mind away from the dirty – yet absolutely delicious – thoughts that were running rampant through his brain. On the one hand, Naruto had a point about the pinch/bite pain. On the other, Suigetsu loved both biting and being bitten, and that particular kink often showed up in his dreams/fantasies. And Naruto plus biting equalled holyfuckingshitisthisrealrightnowsofuckinghot. So yes, it was a definite possibility that Suigetsu was still dreaming.
He said as much to the waiting blond, who smirked at him in such a way that Suigetsu felt the urge to just bend over the bar of the ramen stall and have Naruto take him right then and there. God, those asshole Uchiha's had nothing on the Uzumaki when it came to sexy smirks. Nothing whatsoever.
"What do I have to do to prove you aren't dreaming, then?" Naruto asked amusedly.
Much as it killed him to say it… "Just no more biting." Suigetsu could feel the despair creeping up over him. How could he betray himself like that? What was he thinking, telling the Sex God that he was no longer allowed to bite him? Of fucking course he was allowed to bite him! In fact, Suigetsu encouraged him to bite him!
"Do you still want me to pinch you?"
Suigetsu shrugged, eyeing Naruto hungrily from behind his bangs. Oh God, he wanted Naruto. But… A place and a time, he reminded himself. And as much as Suigetsu thought that now was as good a time as any for hot sex with a hot god, maybe jumping him in the middle of a ramen stand when he'd just had some kinda revelation or some shit, wasn't a good idea.
"I guess it can't hurt – ow!" Suigetsu said indignantly, rubbing the sore spot on his arm where Naruto had pinched him. "That hurt!"
His only reply was a bright grin. Suigetsu felt his own lips twitching in reply. No wonder Suigetsu reminded Sasuke of Naruto. They were unbelievably similar; both incredibly sexy (it wasn't bragging if it was true), and both irrepressibly mischievous.
"Well as long as I'm not dreaming," Suigetsu said wryly. "You wanna go do something?"
Naruto raised a golden eyebrow, but nodded, and Suigetsu paid the ramen dude (he paid, it was totally a date) and gestured for Naruto to follow him.
They ended up sprawled out on a grassy hill at a park not far from the ramen stand. Suigetsu usually came here on his break, to chill and be away from the assholes who made up the majority of Sharingan's employees. It was a nice place, with a large green field, flower gardens placed alongside the concrete path, and fishponds dotted here and there. Large oak trees ringed the entire park, casting their shadows out for a very grateful Suigetsu, who felt as though he were melting.
It had been slightly amusing (not to mention hot), seeing Naruto dressed so casually in denim cutoffs and a white wifebeater among the formally dressed people at Sharingan, but now, outside of his air-conditioned workplace, all Suigetsu could feel was envy. Why did that fucker Sasuke insist on smart dress? He was boiling out here, in his long black slacks. Suigetsu was seriously feeling the urge to just rip the damn things off and fuck the consequences. Would there be consequences for casually hanging out in public in his boxers? There would definitely be consequences for walking back into Sharingan wearing just his shirt and his boxers.
But… If Suigetsu ripped all his own clothes off, maybe Naruto would allow him to do the same to him?
Suigetsu turned his head consideringly to the blond male just in time to catch the amused exasperation in those gorgeous blue eyes.
"What?" he asked.
Naruto chuckled. "Oh, nothing. It's just, you aren't exactly subtle when you're thinking dirty thoughts, are you 'ttebayo?"
Kill me now, was Suigetsu's first thought as he registered the verbal tick. It was devastatingly cute, and cute mannerisms on a hot blond Sex God was just… Suigetsu thought he might possibly die from how high his attraction for the other man was skyrocketing. Goddamn Uchiha Sasuke for keeping this perfection from him for this long!
Suigetsu only grinned at Naruto's words. He wasn't exactly subtle ever. And he suspected that Naruto wasn't either.
"Would Sasuke have thought we were similar if I was?"
Naruto chuckled. "Probably not," he admitted. "I have the subtlety of a unicorn."
Suigetsu sputtered with laughter at the ridiculous statement, rolling around helplessly in the grass. Naruto's words had made him think of the blond man on hands and knees (fuck that was a nice image right there), cantering about with fluffy pink hair and a tail, a shiny white horn poking out of his forehead. Needless to say, Suigetsu nearly pissed himself laughing while trying to explain his reaction to the bemused Uzumaki, who promptly joined Suigetsu in the grass, roaring with laughter.
When they both calmed down and caught their breath, they settled back comfortably on the grass, grinning foolishly at each other. Suigetsu had never felt so comfortable with anybody outside of his family. Naruto was so open and warm, and Suigetsu felt like he'd known the guy forever.
"Hey man, can I ask you something?" Naruto spoke up suddenly.
Suigetsu felt his lower lip edging out before he could stop it. "I was just gonna ask you that."
Naruto grinned. "Quid pro quo?" he offered amusedly.
"What, like question for question?" Eager anticipation lined Suigetsu's sharp features.
The spiky blond head nodded in confirmation. "Sure. We can have a 'let's get to know each other' session."
And fuck if that didn't send all sorts of impulses firing through Suigetsu's body. He had to, once again, fight the temptation to jump his future lover and get to know each other in a completely different way. Damn, he'd always known himself to be almost excessively sexual, but he'd never had it so bad for any one person.
To distract himself, Suigetsu smiled charmingly at the blond man. "Why don't you start?"
Naruto flashed him a quick grin of thanks, and Suigetsu was once again amazed at the charisma that almost literally oozed from him.
"Before I ask, d'ya reckon we should figure out limits and all that shit? Sasuke-teme says I'm tactless," this was said with a rueful grin. "So tell me now if there's anything you'd rather not talk about."
Suigetsu tipped his head back, eyeing the dark green canopy above, (and totally not showing off the length of his neck for the other man, who the fuck would even think of that, shit) and chuckling. He'd been told the same thing a fuckton of times, usually accompanied by a slap around the head. It was refreshing to be able to sort that shit out at the start; would maybe save him some goddamn brain cells. Suigetsu turned his head to look at his sexy Sun God (nickname changes were totally acceptable, because how else was Suigetsu supposed to get across the sheer sex appeal of the blond man?), and bared his teeth in a challenging grin.
"Ask me whatever you want baby, I'm open to anything." The innuendo practically dripped from Suigetsu's lips, and he was gratified to see Naruto's blue eyes darken in response. Oh he was so in.
Naruto only laughed. "I bet you are," his eyes roamed all over the leaner man's body, leaving burning trails in their wake. "You might want to know, that the same goes for me."
It took a moment for his words to sink in, but when they did… Suigetsu's gut heated and a lascivious grin formed on his face. Totally, totally in. Suigetsu was seriously starting to think that this man was his soulmate.
"Well now that that's out of the way," he managed to get out, before his brain overheated and his dick took charge of his thinking. "Go ahead and start."
AN: Well, probably not worth the huge wait, but I pinky promise I shall try and update much sooner than I did this time. I have already started on the next chapter, so hopefully it won't be too long.
Also, to anybody who is following All Rounders, sorry, but that one continues to give me trouble, so it'll probably be awhile before it's updated. So, my apologies :/.
