In your Shoes 4
Night had been difficult. Morning was hell.
He had overslept because that crappy body needed more sleep than his own. He had dreaded being nearly asphyxiated by horrible morning breath and sweat because, of course he was used to his own scent and not the moron's. But he was spared. Since he was smelling through Naruto's nose it didn't reek as it was already used to those scents. However, he wasn't saved from another kind of problem. Sasuke carefully lifted the covers and cursed, letting his head drop and pressing the palms of his hands to his eyes. He had a hard on. He had a freaking hard on!
Slowly he opened back his eyes, turning his head to look where the blonde, now raven, shithead, moron, dork was sleeping. He was half expecting to be met with a stupid cheerful grin or with a face looming right over his. However, the only sight that graced him was an empty unmade bed. Where the hell had the dobe gone to? He would worry about that later. First he had a little problem to deal with and the obnoxious blonde not being there was perfect.
Grumbling, he went to the bathroom and undressed, avoiding the mirror and trying to see as little skin as possible. He didn't want the little trouble between his legs to get worse. Yawning and cursing that lazy body for it, he stepped into the tub and let hot water pour on him. That felt wonderful. Now he had to take care of his hard on. He reached for the tap.
"You take that hot pulsing flesh into your hand and curl your fingers around it then move up and down. He likes it when you tease the slit," explained a voice he had hoped wouldn't wake up at all.
"I know how to jerk off!" hissed Sasuke, his knuckles turning white on the tap.
"You do? I'm impressed!"
Sasuke chose to ignore the comment and turned the water to ice cold, wincing as it chilled him to the bone, effectively killing the boner he was sporting. Perfect.
"Perfect? You've got to be kidding me! How dare you kill it with cold water?"
The raven didn't reply, simply dried himself and was happy to notice the Kyuubi was sulking in a corner of his mind. He dressed in a loose black T-shirt and some green pants he found in the closet. He made his bed and groaned as he saw Naruto had eaten breakfast but hadn't cleaned anything. He opened the fridge and out of habit pulled out some vegetables and some leftover rice. He nearly choked on his food as his palate disagreed with the taste, making him almost vomit. He would have to try finding a way to eat normally in this body. In the meantime he settled with only rice. He washed his dishes but ignored the blonde's.
"What to do now?" he wondered out loud.
It was surprising not to have Naruto around, especially since he was supposed to be keeping an eye on him... not that Sasuke would leave without his body. In fact he was quite worried about what the blonde could be doing with it right at that moment. In any other circumstances he would have trained, especially since it was necessary to get used to Naruto's body, but as it was, he went to hunt for the blond moron. And not to have hot steamy sex with him in case the fox was wondering!
"I didn't say anything, you're thinking about that yourself," replied the Kyuubi.
Finding the blonde was easy. Too easy. A huge crowd had gathered in the middle of the village, mainly composed of females. That didn't bid well at all. They had to know Naruto was in Sasuke's body, since those kinds of matters never stayed a secret long... when they involved Ino in particular.
A bad feeling was creeping up his spine when he heard the music that barely made it through the squeals and cooing noises.
Sexbomb Sexbomb you're a Sexbomb
You can give it to me, when I need to come along
Sexbomb sexbomb you're my sexbomb
And baby you can turn me on.
A cold horrified shiver ran down his spine when he saw one or two girls faint. Then he saw a black shirt fly and the rabid women nearly kill each other to grab it. His eyebrows were twitching dangerously as he had a pretty good idea of what was happening. He hadn't been far from the truth, but he had underestimated the blonde.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Your attention please! This is the gorgeous body of Uchiha Sasuke with the awesome Naruto Uzumaki inside! For ten ryo I will let you … touch it! Yes ladies and gentlemen! What you had always dreamed of but never dared even try is now possible! Come on, don't be shy!"
Someone clearing their throat made Naruto spin around, a huge grin splattered on his face at the possibility of a customer.
"What part do you want to–" he started before freezing as a dark glare burned him in place.
It seemed Sasuke had perfected the Uchiha glare even with blue eyes. Naruto gulped and scratched at the raven's spiky hair, smiling sheepishly as he had been caught with the hand in the cookie jar... at least he hadn't been caught with the hand in Sasuke's pants playing with the goods.
"May I inquire what you are doing to my body?" asked Sasuke, fingers tapping on one tanned arm.
Naruto huffed, crossing his arms too and pouting childishly only pissing Sasuke off even more as it was his body that was pouting!
"I have rent to pay, dude! And you're a freeloader!" accused the former blonde, pointing a finger in the former raven's face, shaking it as if scolding him.
Sasuke grabbed the annoying dork's nape, lowering his face to his and smirked before throwing some money at the moron's face, enjoying the look of shock and then of rumpled dignity.
"You could have asked," pointed out Sasuke pushing Naruto away and dusting his clothes.
"I wanted to be spared of your I'm-better-than-you attitude! Like you'd give me as much as I can make selling this hot ass of yours!" replied Naruto, using the Uchiha clipped tone.
"So you think I'm gorgeous too, dobe?" purred Sasuke, using Naruto's throaty voice to his best advantage.
The blonde grabbed Sasuke's shirt and yanked him, teeth bared in anger. They were a breath apart; eyes in each other's eyes, electricity could almost be seen in the air at the intensity of their interaction.
"If we pay you 10 ryo will you kiss each other?" asked an excited girl, bouncing up and down.
The lustful atmosphere disappeared and both males broke their heated gaze, parting with admittedly some difficulty, to turn to the source of interruption. The latter not aware that had she not spoken they might have done a lot more than kiss.
"At least me out so I can rip her heart!" shrieked the Kyuubi in rightful anger and frustration.
"Ten ryo? You could have asked for twenty or more," remarked Sasuke smirking.
"I didn't want to push my luck," replied Naruto, grabbing a spare shirt and putting it on.
The fun was over. He stopped the music and grinned at the disappointed crowd, asking for a tip since they had gotten to see Sasuke's body shirtless. Maybe hoping to see him come back later, many gave him some money before leaving cooing among themselves.
"Hey, how about grabbing some ramen? I'm paying," offered the blonde, chuckling as Sasuke's eyes narrowed at the sight of the money he had collected, clearly conveying that technically it was his since it was his body that had earned it.
Naruto brushed it off with a wave of his hand before strolling to Ichiraku, knowing the raven would follow. He popped a candy in his mouth but soon spit it out. How could Sasuke not love sweets? Grumbling he took a bittersweet one he had bought that morning when he had discovered the bastard's unforgivable tastes.
"Tell me you brushed my teeth this morning," growled Sasuke, snatching the candies out of his friend's hands before he could rot his teeth.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooo
They had trained the whole day before heading back home, exhausted, at least on Naruto's part. Being injured hurt like hell when you didn't heal right away. He had never realized what an advantage that was! He glared at Sasuke who was cooking, trying to find a way to eat veggies without having to force them down his throat.
Naruto grabbed some carrots and began to chew on them, amazed at how easy it was to eat when you liked almost everything. It was always hell for him to find something other than ramen to enjoy as a meal. He would miss that when they went back to normal. He nearly whistled as Sasuke bent down to grab a bottle showing his ass. They realized he had been ogling at his own ass! A nice ass, if he said so himself and with Sasuke making it move...
He licked his lips and thank the Hokage Sasuke's body was far less responsive than his own or he would have had a boner already. Poor, poor body being bridled so much. Fortunately Naruto was going to indulge it a lot. He grinned wickedly, getting hot just thinking about the shower he would take later. Thinking of that he wondered how the stuck up teme was doing with a hormone raging body or maybe he didn't have enough fantasies to make it react At least he was sure he had the morning gift, since there wasn't a day when Naruto didn't when he had been in control.
He grinned as he rested his head on his arms, sniffing his scent even if he had to concentrate to actually smell it... it was Sasuke's scent, it was so pleasant. He seriously enjoyed living with the teme. It only had been two days but it was nice having him home, spending time with him, bantering playfully. And molesting his body, but the later was only possible while they were switched. He seriously hoped they could retrieve their normal state and that the Uchiha would stay. Since his old house had been destroyed and never rebuilt, he could ask Sasuke to stay with him.
After tasting god knew how many different ways of making vegetables, the raven had finally managed to find three that were actually good, five that were passable. With some luck he would discover more later but for the moment he would be satisfied with that.
"Finally I found a way to make you eat vegetables, granted it needs some cooking and sauce, but at least your body doesn't want to throw up," gloated Sasuke turning to Naruto to show him the three dishes he had made.
He tsked as he saw the blonde had fallen asleep, a happy smile on his lips. It was a strange sight to see himself sleeping, especially this relaxed and smiling. That expression wasn't his, but Naruto's. A happy Naruto. But as he reached to caress his cheek he saw the brow furrow, the lips open to let shaken breaths out, and then twist in anguish, sweat was appearing on his skin. What was happening?
"No, no, don't."
A nightmare? Naruto was having a nightmare? He had never seen him have one! Of course he was sure he did just like anybody else but... strangely it made the hair on the back of his neck stand on end. He felt nauseous; his stomach tight with some unknown feeling... was it fear?
"Itachi..." murmured the blonde.
Sasuke's blood ran cold as he suddenly understood why he had been so concerned. Without even realizing it he shook Naruto, yanking him by his shirt and making the chair clatter as he hoisted him up. Black eyes blinked fast to clear sleep from them before settling on him, startled before evading his gaze, hiding tears in them. Sasuke felt his fist collide with Naruto's face before he even realized he had moved.
The blonde gave a startled yelp as he fell on his ass, protecting his face as Sasuke was on him in a second. However, Sasuke didn't hit him again, just grabbed his shoulders and shook him. His eyes were dilated, blue tinted by red, the whiskers darker, a telltale sign that he was pissed. It was the first time Naruto had shown that look on his face, the bared teeth made him look feral. But to tell the truth that wasn't what was stealing his breath away. No, it was how that expression reflected Sasuke's emotions finally letting them show. Had Sasuke been in his own body, only his eyes would have betrayed him.
"What did you see?" snapped Sasuke, his voice a low rumble.
"Nothing," replied the blonde a little too fast.
He blocked the blow, keeping Sasuke's hand in his.
"What did you see?" hissed the raven, blue eyes ice cold but showing a hint of apprehension.
"I saw the murder," confessed Naruto, making sure to keep eye contact.
After receiving an answer Sasuke relaxed, the kyuubi-like features disappearing. He was once again perfectly collected not even his eyes betrayed a thing. Naruto went on without needing to be asked.
"It was strange. I was you but at the same time I wasn't. I could discern what you were feeling but I was looking at everything from a distance. You woke me up when Itachi left while you were crying."
Sasuke sat on the floor, his hand finally letting go of Naruto's shirt. He hadn't thought of it, but memories and the like were also stored in his brain, not only his soul. That meant that they were accessible through dreams. Even if Naruto wouldn't live the nightmare as Sasuke would since their feelings were more than a soul part... even if his body could provide part of them since he remembered the reaction to those memories. He was feeling violated, naked, and exposed. Naruto had seen one of the most important and dark parts of his past. He had seen his old self, his pathetic reaction to what had happened.
"I didn't know you had to kill me to gain the Mangekyou," whispered Naruto fidgeting.
Naruto knew he had had access to something Sasuke would have rather kept from him had he had the choice. He didn't want to delve on it, he only allowed himself to remark that that explained why Sasuke had nearly killed him at the Valley of the End.
"You didn't need to know it," replied the raven coldly.
"Yeah... but it's nice knowing that you had a good reason."
Sasuke glanced at him and sighed. He had wanted to sever their bond at that time and later he hadn't wished for that bond to come back. That's why he had never told him even if obviously the moron didn't give a damn. He glared as he received a playful punch on the shoulder, Naruto grinning broadly at him, making him scowl even if it lacked the dazzling quality of blonde hair and blue eyes.
"I never got the chance to thank you for helping out against the Akatsuki... Tsunade-baachan told me how you fooled them with a fake 8 tails. Not mentioning how helpful it was you unmasked Danzou and fought alongside us to settle all the shit that was happening. Without you Madara might have actually won."
"Shut up, dork. I don't want to hear that."
Naruto rolled his eyes before settling against the window eyeing Sasuke with a leg propped up and one arm resting on it. Naruto had a hard time not lusting after him... after his own body, which was just disturbing. But then it was a spitting image of himself but with a totally different personality, so in a way it wasn't him. He didn't look like himself at all with those stony features. It reminded him of how Itachi and Sasuke looked so alike but were so different. Then that meant he really loved Sasuke, right? Because even with Sasuke out of his body and inside his he still wanted to grab the bastard and fuck him into the nearest surface. Hard. And he could because it was his own body so it wouldn't be as if he was abusing like Shino's body. Good thing they had been switched into each other's bodies because Naruto had no idea how long he would be able to restrain himself before jumping his best friend.
Naruto tilted his head and sighed at the far off expression on his friend's face. He had to be thinking of Madara, the second murderer of his family, the only person left on whom he had to take revenge. The evil man was on the run, surely plotting something, but they would have his head one day. He was an enemy not to be taken lightly. That's why Tsunade had declared Sasuke was on a long mission, not a missing nin. She had forgiven him for running away from the village because he had been really helpful in settling matters... and surely also because she knew what he meant to Naruto. Well, that was the official version, because unofficially Naruto was still trying to drag that stubborn ass back to Konoha.
People had accepted him rather easily, knowing what he had gone through and maybe also feeling guilty for what had happened to his clan. Even if they hadn't known the depth of it, they had taken part in it. What Itachi had had to do was unspeakable. To think he had killed his whole clan for peace and for Sasuke. Naruto was ashamed to have told him he was a better brother than he would ever be. It wasn't true. He loved Sasuke more than a brother or friend, but he doubted he could sacrifice all the people he loved for Sasuke.
"I'm sorry for what Konoha did to your clan. When I'm Hokage I will never let tragedies like yours or the Hyuuga's happen again," assured Naruto, nodding to himself.
"I know."
Naruto's head snapped back at Sasuke, eyes wide. Those two words were so full of heart warming meaning. They told of the raven's trust in Naruto, in his capacity to make peace possible, in his strength to become Hokage... in his ability to guide their village to a period of light.
A knock on the door made them both stand. Sasuke went back to his experimentation on food while Naruto opened the door. Sakura was on the doorway. She sighed as she noticed the purple bruise on Naruto's chin. Muttering, but otherwise not commenting on it, she healed him, taking the time to check his vitals and cure the results of training.
"Where is my team?" asked Sasuke letting the pink-haired girl check him too. They could never be too careful; they didn't know what switching could do.
"Working for Konoha. Tsunade put each of them in an anbu team," explained Sakura.
Sasuke nodded. They were being watched and tested... a way to see were their loyalties lied and to see their strength. He knew the reason he had to stay close to Naruto wasn't only to make sure they didn't have trouble if the jutsu suddenly went off on its own, he was under watch too. It was perfectly understandable.
Sakura wanted to stay and chat a bit, but she felt out of place. Obviously she had interrupted something. Those two had many things to deal with and unfortunately she wasn't part of it for the moment. After staying a bit listening to Naruto complain about Sasuke, she finally left hoping that a forced period of cohabitation would make Sasuke stay. She was tired of all the running after him...
Sasuke looked at her leave and nearly wished she had stayed. He didn't want to be left alone with Naruto, not after what had just happened.
"Scared he will make the first move?" piped in Kyuubi, laughing darkly.
Sasuke ignored the pest in his mind and grabbed his things to go take a shower. That would prevent any kind of talk with Naruto because he just knew Kyuubi was going to be an ass.
"I wouldn't if you just let it go and played with the goods."
Sasuke snorted and undressed. Steadily he looked at himself in the mirror, at that tanned skin and all the muscles that laced it. Gorgeous. His eyebrow twitched as he saw the moron's body react immediately, growing hard. Seriously, that damn body needed some restrain. He was getting tired of having erections every time he was thinking of the blonde, which happened a lot.
"Jump him or molest that body at least."
"No. I can't do that to him."
"What stops you from staying? They would let you go after that Madara all you want. Naruto could even help you... I would help you. I have a score to settle with that man too."
"It is my business I don't want anyone else involved," he didn't add "or killed," but Kyuubi guessed it on his own, "and if I die I don't want him to be left broken because I would have let him glimpse what he can never have."
"He would regret not having you back for the rest of his life," remarked Kyuubi.
Sasuke didn't comment because he knew he was right. But maybe the real reason was that he was scared of losing a precious person again, so he just didn't want Naruto to get too close. Or maybe he was scared it would lessen his hatred and that he would end up leaving Madara alone. He only knew hatred as strength and Naruto was warming him a little too much.
