Title: In Times Like These

Long pale arms crawled slowly around the soft cotton clothing wore by the slender figure facing the scattered sprinkle of star lights. It slid upwards, until it reached the smooth whiskered cheeks and gently held it.

Warm breaths…

Lovely whispers…

Tender touches…

Then those possessive arms swung the shorter form in front of him gradually, tracing cold fingers over those rosy attempting lips, murmuring affectionate statements teasingly gliding it, and smelling its wine sweet aroma. Finally those waiting lips were granted with an amorous kiss.

Softly…

Firmly…

And deeply…

The locking of passionate lips intensified more as the two persons swayed in their hovering fantasy.

"Itachi…" Naruto whispered in a shallow gasp.

--With the said name, all were aroused; even the patient movements became reckless and things began its vast actions.

Itachi traveled his hands on the clothes of the young blond in front of him, stripping and unbuttoning them swiftly away fro, his lover's form. He carried him and walked towards the huge bed, laying him down almost naked. Itachi breathed from his lover's open mouth and seized his lips once more, this time, giving it with increased attention. He smelled his lips and placed a chaste kiss before totally overcoming it. His hungry tongue lingered all around Naruto's cavern…wetting it, tasting it, and sucking it wholly. He broke for air but immediately held it again with his own; his hands wandering all over the blonde's neck down to his chest, his stomach, his navel, and at last under those boxers stubbornly covering Naruto's lovely body part. His lover groaned and made him more aroused.

Chapter Four: How could I?

After giving Naruto's bruised risk with some mint cold medicine, Sasuke carried him and brought him over the bed.

"Sasu—"Naruto's word wa interrupted with a deep kiss. Sasuke angled his head to the side, deepening the process, and tasting his employee's sweet mouth.

He loves the feeling of Naruto's mouth because its fits perfectly on his. The soft, warm touch of his flesh and the wonderful taste of him is arousing his hormones in a way that he might fail to control his impatient movements. Sasuke started to wander his hands inside the younger man's clothes; he paused, but then continued with his still growing enthusiasm by giving the blonde another breath-taking kiss.

Naruto moaned…as his employer's hand stopped over his silk-like pants. Sasuke rubbed it slowly and when he was going to strip it down from the flushed blond, his mind came back.

--And realization took over for he felt a trace of sparkling liquid sliding down Naruto's cheeks.

"Sumenai…" Sasuke whispered and silently went out of the bed.

…

"Yesterday…Doshite?" Naruto mumbled under the cover of the huge pillow he was clutching; his body was facing Sasuke's.

"Hn." Sasuke replied with closed eyes.

Naruto poked his head out of the soft object and peeked at Sasuke's face.

--A blush came through…

Naruto turned away and repeated his early question.

"Why didn't you continue—"

"Harassing you?" Sasuke finished the subject for him.

"Iie…It's not like that you would harass me—I'm willing anyway." Naruto murmured.

"You are?" This time, Sasuke's eyes fluttered open. He leaned forward and grabbed the collar of Naruto's night shirt. He kissed him again, but without any detail.

"Sasuke…." Naruto breathed in slight surprise.

"I wouldn't waste my precious time for someone who cries suddenly." Sasuke spoke monotonously, an inward smirk moving across his expression.

How lovely it is to tease 'his' blond….

"Who cries?" Naruto thought for a while and then he remembered his stupid actions last night. –Indeed, he cried.

"I didn't cry." Naruto pouted above the pillow that was separating him from the raven. "I was just sleepy…and whenever I am sleepy, my eyes get watery." After his last word, Naruto wasn't able to notice when Sasuke shoved away the pillow from his grip. He was pulled strongly, not harshly, and he felt soft lips overcome his.

It was a good feeling…Naruto thought. The way Sasuke molds his mouth in a very affectionate way, the way he moves his lips as he let him taste his mouth deeper, and the way it invaded his every senses.

It gave him a new sensation.

…

"My brother will come here to take you around the city." Sasuke spoke as he was walking with Naruto towards the elevator.

Glad no one was there with them.

"What?!" Naruto cried, wide eyed.

"Something wrong with that?" Sasuke asked after immediately pushing the 'close-door' button so no one would interrupt the two of them.

"Of course!" Naruto shouted in his mind.

He stayed silent.

For like moments that he was quiet, he felt his head being tilted up slowly.

Sasuke was staring at him, observing and sensing something that disturbs the blond. Before he was going to utter some words, the elevator door opened and his words ceased to process out of his mouth because his secretary ran over to him and spoke,

"Uchiha-san, Hirota-san has arrived early. He's been waiting for you in your office."

Sasuke only nodded and placed a light kiss on Naruto before proceeding to his office.

…

Naruto held down his eyes while sitting uneasily on a sofa chair located on the company's elegant lounge.

He was frustrated! Damn it!Why would such things happen?!

He fidgeted and obediently waited at the lounge. (as Sasuke had told him)

"Naruto…" A familiar but hated voice sounded in his alarmed ears.

Naruto looked up but immediately directed his eyes back on the marble floor. As he was thinking of standing up or not, an eager hand grabbed his and gently pulled him upwards.

Naruto didn't budge…because if he will, it would be a persistent decision not to be near this guy for about a hundred meters away. Busy of his annoying thoughts, he didn't notice that he closed his eyes all the while until they reached the car. He seated himself, finally having 'that' hand away from his own, and looking instantly out of the window. He tried to look at his company from the side of his eyes and was able to see a pale hand—he recalled how it held him—clutching the gear agitatedly. He rolled his eyes towards the window and felt as the car stopped.

"Naruto…"

He heard his name and unknowingly turned his head to the one who called him. A pale hand was lifted and touched over Naruto's cold cheek.

How he loved that warm touch…

"You don't know how much it hurt me…after we got separated." Itachi spoke longingly, his face expressing with such an agonizing reflection.

How he loved that voice…

How could he think—that he hated it now?

Owari! (for the forth chapter)
