AN: hello again! Im going to say this before we start…. This is unbetae'd now… what does that mean? That, my dear readers, means that there WILL be spelling mistakes here and there…. Why? Because Im only human and I accidentally mess up… and yes *gasp* I do sometimes misspell… although in my defense, I do try not to and check before I update… however, sometimes stuff slips… gomen kudasai!
The door was closed, Sasuke frantically realized that he was trapped…sort of… rather, he felt like he was trapped in a cage with a wild animal. Although the animal paid him no heed for now.
In fact, Naruto was trying his best to avoid looking at the raven haired man. Never had he seen a creature so different. Sasuke was pale, with dark black hair that was streaked with a tinge of blue where the light hit. It was also spiky, something that was not in fashion, but then, neither was his mass of blonde untamable locks…he decided he wouldn't judge him just yet…
He walked up to his desk and ran his fingers over the old wood, feeling the smooth texture of the polished surface glide beneath his fingers, he watched his hand make progress across the wood, keeping his head down to avoid the other presence here with him.
The silence was getting heavy, it was uncomfortable for both of them, Sasuke decided to stand there and do what he did best, glare. He wondered, as he watched Naruto walk the length of the desk, trailing his hand on it in an almost sentimental fashion. He wondered if he was really as surprised by Naruto's actions. It was hard for him to imagine what it would feel like if he was one day forced to leave what was always his and give it to a total stranger. He shuddered at the thought.
It was obvious that the silence had to be broken, Naruto decided that since Sasuke was still considered a guest here, he should be more accommodating. Turning around and taking a deep breath, he managed to plaster on a fake smile and said in a cheerful voice.
"I'm glad that you arrived safely cousin, I hope the place is to your liking?"
Sasuke was startled by the sudden change in tactics, one moment Naruto was scowling and silent, a second later he was smiling so brightly that the room lit up.
The lie was evident. And Sasuke realized that Naruto was quite skilled with putting up the façade. In fact, he was certain that not many people got to see the real side of his cousin. Sasuke's eyes narrowed.
"You can cut the bullshit dear cousin" he mocked. "You as well as I know that I'm not a cherished guest here, and you'd like me gone from whence I came…"
He noted the glint that ran through Naruto's eye as he said those words, the smile still firmly in place.
Sasuke smirked, realizing that he'd seen through the mask the blonde put up.
Naruto took the smirk for something else entirely. When that amused smile graced Sasuke's features it boiled his blood, he knew perfectly well that he was being polite on purpose, but was that reason to mock him?
"And you dear cousin, are too cocky for your own good." As he said those words, he came closer and closer to Sasuke, finally leveling off face-to-face.
"You don't know me at all" he hissed, "so what gives you the right or ability to see through me?.. Nothing!" he spat the last word as he turned away, his feet carrying him to the liquor cabinet.
Naruto grabbed the port, and absentmindedly chose 2 crystal cups, setting them both down on the desk, he looked at Sasuke pointedly, offering him the drink.
Sasuke took it, hesitant now that he had been subjected to Naruto's anger. He leaned on the side of the desk, closing his eyes and slowly taking a sip of the dark liquid
He purred in pleasure as the warmth the drink generated caressed his throat, gently leaving his senses mulled with sweetness. Unbeknownst to himself, his lips lifted into the smallest of smiles.
Naruto watched in amusement as Sasuke sipped and closed his eyes, the purr that came forth was a bit of a surprise, Naruto's eyes widening in surprise at such an animalistic behavior from such a cool and levelheaded man. And he did deem him rather cold, no one stood there looking straight at him when he was pissed. Except of course Tsunade; he smiled sadly, he was going to miss her.
They moved their drinks to the table in front of the fire, each sitting in an armchair and not saying a word. They stared into the fire, now wanting to break the peaceful situation that came over. Of course, the alcohol helped mull nerves, and they both poured themselves generous amounts and each in their respective world, tried to drown out all the problems.
Sasuke closed his eyes again, he was getting sleepy, and the fire was a pleasant, soothing wave. His eyes snapped open when he felt his hand touched gently. He looked to the side, and his eyes became wide as saucers. There beside him, was a kneeling Naruto, one huge hand was placed on the armrest, the other was now holding up Sasuke's hand for inspection. Turning it over, marking it with his eyes.
"What do you know about me anyways?" Naruto whispered, more to himself than to Sasuke. "What do you care for what I am, what I want?" Electric blue rendered him unable to move, eyes locked, trembling inwardly Sasuke would be damned before he looked away first.
What Naruto did next, sent a jolt of electricity up his entire being.
The blonde took his hand in both of his and took one finger into his mouth, licking gently.
Sasuke was astounded; he knew Naruto was intoxicated but this? No, this was something that should not be happening, they were men… Oh but the feeling of that tongue on his pads, teeth gently scraping the soft flesh, that tongue swirling around it, pulling it in further, and yet forbidding to move. Sasuke was a statue, frozen by time as Naruto moved to another finger, lavishing it with the same precision. Eyes still locked on each other. Sasuke still willing himself with everything he had not to move.
A string of saliva stretched from his finger to Naruto's swollen lips, and Sasuke instinctively brushed it across the rosy pillows, noting how they glistened, he moved forward, entranced with the way light played with the small lines etched on them, the miniscule markings that were only Naruto's.
He stopped himself mere inches from those lips, freezing solid as realization hit him hard. Was he really just about to…? Did he just do that…?
Cold blue sparkled up at him, and Sasuke realized with a pang that he was being played with. He had foolishly assumed that Naruto was so intoxicated that he couldn't possibly be in control. He was proven wrong as those lips stretched upwards into a toothy smirk.
Naruto raised himself to his full height, a look of triumph tingling him into chuckling. "Looks like you don't know me so well after all… Sasuke."
The name played across his lips, from what he deduced about his experiment on Sasuke, he no longer felt the pleasantries were needed.
Thus satisfied, he stalked over to his desk and sat down behind it, splicing his fingers and resting his chin on them, he watched the stoic figure still sitting in the armchair, Sasuke had not moved, and the only part of him visible from the side were his bangs, those covering his eyes.
Sasuke sat frozen, floored by what he just experienced, bile rose in him as he noted that he himself wasn't too drunk either, and that what he had done was as shameful as it was…electrifying. He wouldn't lie to himself, had he waited a couple of seconds more, he would have kissed the blonde. And that realization hurt the most, that he was toyed with. Yet, he understood somehow…
Naruto had nothing left, all he could do was taunt Sasuke and soon, that too would be over, Naruto would be forced to leave, and Sasuke would go back to the way his life was before, stoic, ordered and cool.
He rose, not looking at the Blonde, and walked to the door, reaching for the handle, he turned his head to the side, out of the corner of his eye he saw Naruto intently watching him, eyes half hidden by his bangs, but glinting from beneath like jewels, alert.
He turned towards the door and opened it, stepping out and closing it softly behind himself. Breathing out a sigh of relief, he leaned against the wall for support. He needed to ask where he was to be lodged, he really wanted to sleep and hope that when he woke up, all this would have turned out to be a nightmare with the golden haired demon gone.
As he walked down the hall, he stopped a young girl, who looked deadly frightened of him; Asking where his room was.
She led him quickly, like a frightened squirrel, and after wishing him a good night, she took a bow and left as quickly as she could.
Alone, Sasuke stripped of his clothes, laying them out for the maids to pick up in the morning, and after a quick wash, he buried himself in the feather puffed covers, noting the storm still raging outside, he fell asleep to visions of electrifying eyes…
AN: and and and….? Please review my dears…. It really helps me understand what you expect and what I should note as important!
