Flashback: the promise

"I'll always remember what I said to you." Naruto wanted to hold Sasuke again comfort him. But he knew if he did that it would end up in something his pride wouldn't allow. His passion for Sasuke was too strong.

"Naruto, why do you deny me. Worse. You deny the thing you want most. And it eats you up inside."

"Shut up."

"Come over here and make me."

"Shut up," Naruto said louder holding his ears. "I don't want to hear you anymore. I... I love you too much. Its not fair."

He felt an arm around his shoulders and he let himself be led to the edge of the river. He sat with his feet almost touching the water.

Naruto put his head on Sasuke's shoulder. And an arm snaked around his waist to pull him closer.

"Sasuke, I want you tonight. But its the night before my wedding. Would that make me an awful person?"

"You'd be more of an awful person if you rejected me any more," Sasuke said with a laugh.

"Okay."

"Are you sure?"

"Well yeah. I can't help but love you. So why shouldn't I indulge that on the night before my wedding. When I can't love you while I'm married."

"Why are you getting married to her again?"

"I don't know. Its right or something like that."

"Whatever," Sasuke said getting up.

"Something wrong?" Naruto said shakily standing up.

"Yeah," Sasuke said frowning. When he saw the adorable pout he added. "You're not kissing me yet."

They both smiled and Naruto locked his arms around Sasuke's neck. He proceeded to kiss him. And kiss him. And kiss him. He could feel something growing in the downward area. And it felt weird. Just because it was Sasuke and it had been so long. He had butterflies in his stomach, like he was a girl and it was her first time.

"Nervous?" Sasuke asked feeling the trembling that Naruto couldn't control.

"A little."

"It's okay. We've already done this before."

"But this time is different."

"Its going to be fine. No one will know. Unless you're uke. Then I think a few people might notice."

"Yeah, just maybe."

There were no more words. Just the sound of two boys indulging in their passion for each other. Some clothes were thrown on the ground. And occasionally there would be a gasp of breath.

"Oh, God, Sasuke. Just one second. Hold on one minute."

"What's wrong?"

"I just... I need to take it a bit slower."

"What do you mean slower? We're going slow."

"Calm your hormones, Sasuke."

"What are you talking about? You're confusing."

"I just need to breathe. I just can't breathe. Not with your tongue down my throat. My brain can only go so long without air... And I can't get Sakura out of my head. I feel like I'm doing wrong."

"If you don't shut up about Sakura I'll fuck you so hard that you won't be able to walk for days."

Naruto made a soft whimper. But said nothing else. Sasuke took him into his arms and held him. Maybe what he said had been a little too harsh. But that was okay. He didn't say anything about Sakura again. And he sure didn't think about her as he came at Sasuke with passion and lust in his eyes. They were fused together as one once more. This time they took breathers every so often. They never let go of each other. Not for a second. It was almost as if they thought that if they did the other would disappear. All the clothes were strewn about on the ground. And they eyed what they could of each other.

They progressed. And before Naruto knew what was going on, Sasuke was on his knees. Naruto was taken back by this motion. Sasuke still had his touch. Or his talented mouth, whatever you like.

Naruto moaned in extacy as he filled Sasuke's mouth. He swallowed and smiled up at Naruto. Just like old times. Naruto pulled Sasuke up from the ground and made to kneel. Sasuke put a hand on his shoulder and stopped him. The lust in Sasuke's eyes said 'enough of this... lets get going already'. And Naruto did. It was like he was never gone all these years, it seemed to both of them as if little time had past since they were last 'together'.

Naruto sucked on his fingers, Sasuke eyeing them hungrily. He knew what it felt like, he knew that this was what he had been waiting for all those long years. He had dreamed about this many times.

He winced when he felt the first probing finger. And whimpered at the second. It was moving, stretching. It made no difference to him if he was limping for a day or two. He could feel Naruto's tip as it started to penetrate.

Okay, maybe three.

Panting. The only sound that could be heard in the woods surrounding them. Naruto sighed as he placed his forehead on Sasuke's shoulder in shame. How could he have done this to Sakura. It was his fault because they were drifting apart. It was his fault for giving in to Sasuke. Giving into desire. Maybe he shouldn't be marrying Sakura. Did he really love her after all? It wouldn't matter if he loved her or not when they were back in the city. Wait, Sasuke would've gone to the city with him. He would if Naruto wanted him to. But could he really ask Sasuke to uproot his life just for him.

"You said forever."

Sasuke looked at Naruto's exposed neck, as he couldn't see his face. "What?"

"You said that you wanted to be with me forever. Be together forever. I love you Sasuke, come with me."

"I... I don't know Naruto. I love you so much. But I don't know if I could just up and leave and struggle in a new place that is way different from here. And Sakura... you said it yourself. And she would probably kill me if she knew what happened. So you go marry her, and I'll be Hokage, and we'll all have something we want."

"No, I won't. I'll be in Tokyo with Sakura but I won't have you. I need you. I've always needed you and loved you. Come with me."

"I can't. You should go, Sakura will be worried."

"Fine." With that Naruto walked away from Sasuke, picking up his clothes on the way. Knowing that was the last time he would see Sasuke as an unmarried man.

Sakura was pacing in her bedroom in Tokyo. Was it right to push marrige on to Naruto? Why did Sasuke have to mess it up? Naruto had been hers.

"I need to calm down. I sound like a maniac. Like some kind of... person who plots evil things." (1)

She stopped pacing and grabbed her dress off the bed. She was going to go back and marry Naruto, if that was what he wanted. If not, then what happened, happened.

(1. This was an attempt to show that Sakura loves Naruto for him. And not because of some kind of revenge. Its kind of bad, but thats okay.)

Flopping down on the bed exhausted Naruto only dreamed that sleep would take him. His heart was filled with guilt. If only he wasn't so weak...

He sighed and stared at the peeling ceiling paint, wishing Sasuke was there with him. If only he hadn't left for so long. What had kept him from coming back?

His mind. What the villagers had said to him that day. He knew that Sasuke didn't know what they had said to him, or they might still be together today. If only...

"If only I didn't talk to myself," Naruto said with a scornful laugh. Slowly he drifted off to sleep.

The sun woke him up.

Sasuke stretched and yawned. Sitting up in his bed he looked out the window. Another beautiful day he couldn't enjoy, for the sake of being Hokage. Why did it have to be so much work anyways? How did Tsunade do it? She was so lazy.

Slowly leaving the warmth of his bed, Sasuke went into the bathroom for a quick shower.

He hurried over to the Hokage tower. Today Naruto was going to be married and he was going to by stuck in the tower with Tsunade.

As he arrived he found it emptier then usual. That's when he found out that Tsunade and some of the others had gone to see the wedding of Sakura and Naruto. Sasuke refused to go and see the one he loved be married to another. He didn't know how long he could take it. How long he could live knowing that Naruto had professed his love to another when he didn't 'really' feel it. Not to the extent that he felt for Sasuke.

Naruto was on the bed sleeping when Sakura walked in. She smiled at him lying there looking so helpless. So vulnerable. This was the man she was supposed to marry in only a few hours.

"Naruto wake up," Sakura huskily whispered and shaking him awake. "It's ten, we're getting married at 1. You need to get ready."

"Mmm, yeah, I know. I'll be ready, don't worry," Naruto said. He kept his eyes closed and snuggled into the pillow relishing the warmth of his blanket.

"Okay," she said sounding unassured. Did he really want to go through with this? "Are you sure you want to get married? I won't be mad if you say no."

"Yes you will, don't lie. And yeah, I said I was going to marry you so stop asking me if I'm sure. If I didn't want to then I wouldn't have said yes," he said his voice raising with every syllable

"Don't yell at me Naruto. I didn't do anything to you I just don't want you to do something you'll regret, OKAY? I'm only thinking of you."

"I won't regret it Sakura, your a wonderful person."

"I love you Naruto."

"I love you too."

Sasuke was hard at work when he looked up to see the time, 12 pm sharp. Only another hour. He didn't want to see Naruto, maybe not ever again. But atleast he had a good memory to remember him by.

Then he heard someone running down the corridor outside the door. They stopped outside the door and knocked.

"Come in," Sasuke said with no enthusiasm. His eyes widened when he saw Naruto. Had he called the wedding off or something?

"Be my best man?" he asked Sasuke panting.

"Naruto..."

"Please?"

"I can't."

"Can't or won't."

"Both, now please go, I have a lot of work to finish," Sasuke said lowering his gaze back down to his paper.

"Still the same stoic Uchiha jerk you've always been. You don't have that much work. You're just jealous of Sakura."

"Uhh, Yeah, what did you think, I'd be happy you were getting married to someone other then me?" Sasuke said standing up.

"Well you could atleast go and show some support for me if you love me so much."

"Its because I love you that I'm not going. I can't bear to see you wed her. I can't bear to watch you give yourself to someone else."

"Fine, be that way. I hope I never see you again."

"Why are you being so childish Naruto. I haven't seen you like this since we were in the Academy together," Sasuke yelled trying to snap Naruto back into his senses.

"I'm not being childish, I'm just asking you to come to my wedding and be my best man."

"Well thats not going to happen."

"Fine," Naruto said whipping around and leaving, slamming the door behind him.

"What the hell was that all about?" Sasuke asked the room when he could no longer hear Naruto's footfalls echoing in the hall.

Naruto was standing waiting for Sakura to walk down the aisle. There was music but something was keeping her from walking to the minister. 'What's taking so long Sakura. Hurry up before I change my mind.'

Then she was walking, and she looked beautiful.

"Naruto, repeat after me, 'I Naruto, take Sakura Haruno, for my lawfully wedded wife."

"I Naruto, take Sasuke Uchiha, for my lawfully wedded wife." His hand went to his gaped mouth. Sakura was still trying to smile.

"He's been spending a lot of time with Sasuke lately," she said giggling. "Its nothing,"

"Naruto, what is the matter with you. You said you were ready," Sakura whispered hoarsly.

Naruto who was suddenly snapped out of his trance looked straight at her. "I am ready Sakura. But I love Sasuke too. I was just thinking about Sasuke and said his name by accident. That's all. I'm sorry, we can try again."

"No," she said looking down at her feet.

"No? I thought you wanted to get married Sakura. You got all dressed up and everything."

"I can't marry someone who doesn't love me first," she said crying. "I love you more then anyone Naruto. And because of that, I can let you go to him knowing that you being happy with Sasuke will make me happy because I was the one to do that. Go. Go to him."

"But he's angry with me."

"Then go tell him what happened this morning and he'll understand. You'll be fine you big silly."

"How did you..."

"I have my ways. Now get out of here before I get angry at you," Sakura said almost coming to tears. She didn't want him to know that it was killing her inside to let Naruto go. If only she had realized how great he really was while he was still infatuated with her. Then she might really be marrying him right now.

Naruto ran for all he was worth to get to Sasuke as fast as possible. He couldn't think of losing him again. It was just too much to bear. And it would be all his fault if he didn't get back together with Sasuke.

"SASUKE!" Naruto yelled barging into the office he had been in a half hour ago. "Sasuke?" he said looking around. He was in an empty room.

Shizune walked by and saw Naruto in the Hokage office. "Sasuke left just after you did."

"Do you know where he went?" Naruto said breathlessly.

"I think he went home."

"Crap, I gotta go."

"Sure thing."

And then Naruto was off like lightning towards the apartment he knew Sasuke lived in.

"SASUKE!" Naruto yelled pounding on the door. "Come on Sasuke, where are you?"

"Dobe."

Naruto whipped around.

"Sasuke? OhmygodI'msosorryaboutwhatI said. IwassonervousaboutgettingmarriedItookmyfrustsrationoutonyou. I'msososorry."

"Its okay Dobe."

"Why are you calling me Dobe?"

"Because it took you so long to figure it out."

"Figure out what?"

"We are meant to be together. Nothing will ever get in the way of that."

"Oh, I guess this is the part where we kiss then isn't it."

"Yeah, I guess it is."

Fin.
