So you think I made you wait enough? I kind of think I did..cuz I mean like, it's only been a day, and I actually had this almost completely written out when I posted the last chapter, and right now I'm about a chapter ahead of everything amasingly. You can thank lovely little insomnia for that(: But really, I'm really happy with how I have everything going now. And I've decided, I'm just going to leave this story as is and continue writing. Eventually I'll get a lot better, and so when I do, I'll have this to look back on, and to be able to say that everyone starts out at some point, we just have to work to get better. Warning: broken hearts, sasusaku (not official couple, but..yeah), and sex Well, I'm not going to draw this out like I normally do. Enjoy the chapter, everyone!
Naruto woke up, his head on Sasuke's shoulder, Sasuke's head on his. He was in the raven's lap, they were covered up by an overly large throw blanket, and it was nice. Yeah he was comfortable, but that wasn't just it... It felt right. Naruto smiled softly up at the still asleep raven and snuggled closer to him, wanting to savor this moment forever. He closed his eyes again and drifted to the place between sleep and being awake, the image of the peaceful Sasuke having gained place in his eyesight, having replaced the heartbreaking image of a dead Sasuke.
Sasuke woke up, his head was on top of Naruto's which was just on his shoulder. They were pretty close together, and Naruto was on his lap. The blond was still asleep, and he looked peaceful. For once he wasn't snoring, and it was quiet in the Uchiha house. It wasn't the same silence that haunted it though, this was peaceful. With Naruto there with him, everything just felt so right. He wanted to capture the moment forever, unfortunately, they would have to move eventually.
Sasuke smiled softly down at the blond and went back to sleep. Why ruin the moment?
An hour passed, and both boys opened their eyes. Sasuke lifted his head and Naruto raised his up a bit. Their eyes met, and they stared lovingly at each other, smiling.
"Morning, Sleeping Beauty," Sasuke said, smile never fading from his lips as he joked with the blond. Yeah, Naruto overslept, but he did this time too. Oh well.
"You're sure one to talk. If you're not forgetting, you fell asleep during the movie. I had to wake you up," Naruto said playfully, laughing quietly.
"Oh shutup, dobe. You know you almost did too." Sasuke hugged Naruto closer to him unintentionally, causing Naruto to lay his head against the raven's chest.
"You're a really good pillow, you know that?" Sasuke laughed, still holding Naruto.
"Good to know that they should carry clones of me in department stores now in housewares," the raven said, still laughing.
"Oh no, not housewares, and definitely not in a department store. They need you in a sex store, because honestly, sometimes you're just the sex."
"I'm the what?" Naruto had such weird vocabulary sometimes, Sasuke struggled to keep up with it. Eventually he got it though, but then the blond came up with new words or phrases. Gotta love Naruto.
"The sex. You, Sasuke Uchiha, are the sex. It means you might as well be sex on legs, because honey, you're fine as hell and damn good." They both laughed, Naruto could always get the raven to bust out laughing.
"Oh just get up, I need to make us some breakfast."
"Or I could just hug you for dear life, squeezing the air out of you until you promise you'll stay here." Naruto looked up at the raven and blinked, looking completely serious about his notion, but still having a look of innocence on your face.
Sasuke sighed. "Fiine. But I just want to point out, if you squeeze all the air out of me, I won't have any to promise that I'll stay."
"Well then I would've taken you flailing around as an okay." Naruto smiled innocently up at the Uchiha, loving the spot he had on the raven's lap.
"You're insane." Sasuke chuckled lightly, kissing Naruto on the forehead.
"I know." They snuggled closer together, wanting to be as close to each other as possible. Not because of the sex appeal, but because they just wanted to.
Sasuke was rhythmically rubbing circles on Naruto's back and playing with a strand of Naruto's hair. The actions caused Naruto to become sleepier. The blond's eyes were half closed, and he was about to go back to sleep when his phone went off on the table in front of them.
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing thats beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
Naruto picked up his phone and answered it. Gaara
"Naruto here," the blond said. Sasuke gave him a questioning look and Naruto mouthed 'it's Gaara.' Sasuke nodded, hugging Naruto tighter.
"You were right. I do want you. Break up with the Uchiha, get together with me. I can love you," Gaara said. Naruto's eyes widened.
"Um..hold on." Naruto put the phone on hold, and sighed. What was he going to do?
"What does Gaara want?" Sasuke asked, having gone back to rubbing the circles on Naruto's back and playing with his hair.
"He wants me to break up with you and get with him." Naruto expected to see some form of emotion. Sasuke didn't want the blond to be upset, and they were supposed to be pretending anyway...what did it matter?
"Well...do what you want. I mean, we were only pretending to be boyfriends... It's not like we were even dating in the first place."
Naruto looked more than a little crestfallen, and Sasuke was about to take it back, but the blond spoke up before he could. "Y-you're right. I should date whoever I want, since this was only pretend. I mean, it's not like we'll ever get together anyway."
Sasuke was hurt at the blond's words. Yeah it was all pretend, but didn't what they were just doing count as anything? It didn't feel pretend to him, and he sure as hell didn't not feel anything between them.
Naruto picked the phone back up and took it off hold. "Sorry I made you wait Gaara, I was breaking up with Sasuke. I'd love to be your boyfriend."
"Great," Gaara replied, his smile was heard through the phone. "So when's our first date?"
Naruto giggled. Sasuke could tell it was fake, but he didn't say anything. "How about this Saturday? I have to have a night out with Sakura and the girls on Friday, I promised her."
"Sounds great. Listen, I gotta go, but I'll talk to you later. Bye babe." The redhead hung up and Naruto closed his phone, sighing.
"Looks like I have a date with a spunky red head this Saturday." Naruto looked down at the ground tiredly.
"You don't seem too happy about it. If you didn't want to then why didn't you just say no?"
"Because Gaara's my friend.." Naruto mumbled.
Sasuke sighed, pushing Naruto off of him. "I'm making us some breakfast, then we're off to go get flowers, unless you forgot what tomorrow is."
Naruto tightened his jaw and nodded, following Sasuke into the kitchen.
"This is really good, Sasuke," Naruto said through a mouthful of food. Naruto was now getting thirds, and he was somehow still hungry.
"Chew with your mouth closed, dobe," Sasuke said. "Remember, put your plate in the sink when you're done and meet me out in the car. I need to make a phone call before we leave." Naruto nodded, and Sasuke left the kitchen, fully dressed.
He dialed Itachi's number and waited for the older raven to pick up as he sat in the car.
"Hey, Sasuke, I was just about to call you," Itachi said.
"What kind of flowers do you want me to get them? And ask Kyuubi if he wants me to get his parents anything for him, it doesn't feel right to leave him out," Sasuke replied, aggravated at his blond friend for more than one reason.
"Get them camellias for me, you know they liked the color. And I already asked Kyuubi, he says to get them three roses: red, pink, and white. Oh and to get Naruto an orange rose, he loved those."
"Thanks. Want me to say any words for you? And what did he say for that?"
"Just tell them I'm sorry that I couldn't make it, but that I still miss and love them dearly. Kyuubi says to tell his parents the same, but tell Naruto to tell them the usual. He'll know what he's talking about."
"Okay, thanks." Sasuke had written all this down, and laid the note aside.
"No problem. You driving to the shop again?"
"Yeah, I'm going to get them a mixture of flowers this time. Some cherry blossoms that they've preserved, lilies, carnations, tulips, just a few of everything from the past years. I'm even going to arrange the bouquet myself. I still remember them showing me how to put cherry blossoms in a flower arrangement to make sure they stay but are still showing."
"I remember that too. You were so stubborn to learn, but they always told you that you might meet someone one day that really liked those sakura flowers. Finally you agreed to learn, but you still showed no interest in flowers. They loved it."
"Yeah, they did. I just wish I would've paid more attention to them." A tear was rolling down Sasuke's face. "Hey, can I tell you something?"
"Always."
"Well...you know the whole predicament with Naruto?"
"Who doesn't?"
"I'm serious, 'Tachi."
"Sorry. Keep going then."
"Well..he and I decided to pretend to be dating, and the fake relationship lasted for about a day. This morning we were sitting on the couch cuddling, and it just felt so right, like we belonged there. I was really feeling something, you know? But then Gaara called him, and asked him out. I told Naruto that he should do what he wants, so he got together with Gaara but doesn't even like him like that. Their first date is on Saturday because we have a girls' night with Sakura and the rest of the girls on Friday, but...what should I do? I love Naruto, and I want him happy, but..I want to be with him too. What should I do Nii-san?"
"Well...I'd normally say do what you think is right, but it's obvious you have no clue in this case. If I were you, I'd crash his date with Gaara and declare your love for him in public. If you can't do that, then just wait until their date that's just before the wedding to do it so that Kyuubi and I can congratulate you. But if you can't even do that, then I deem you screwed. Oh hold on, Kyuubi wants something."
Sasuke could hear little snippets of their conversation, but definitely the laughing before Itachi started talking again. "Oh Sasu, you're going to find this so funny," Itachi said between laughs.
"What is it?" Sasuke asked, aggravated at his brother now.
"Naruto and Kyuubi are talking about almost the same thing. It's too funny, really!" Sasuke growled and hung up on his brother. He was probably trying to pull a trick on him. Sasuke crossed his arms and looked ahead, wondering what the hell could take Naruto so long.
Finally the blond came rushing out the door, just barely closing it behind him.
"Sorry I'm late, Sasuke, I was talking to Kyuubi on the phone," Naruto said, panting. He must have just ran through the house, literally.
"Hn," Sasuke replied. He was still aggravated that the blond would do that. Why try to lead someone on when you didn't even love them?
Sasuke was picking flowers out, he had gotten the bouquet Kyuubi asked for along with an orange rose for Naruto, along with the camellias that Itachi wanted, and was now picking out all the flowers for the bouquet he was going to lay at his parents' grave. Naruto had picked out a red rose, a red tulip, and just about any other red flower you could possibly think of, along with a forget-me-not and a cherry blossom.
They paid separately for their flowers, Naruto wanting to be able to pay for his own stuff this time.
The two returned to Sasuke's house, but Sasuke didn't get out of the car.
"Hey, teme, you coming or what?" Naruto asked, holding his flowers, standing outside of the car, looking confused at the raven's lack of movement.
"I'll be back later. I need to go somewhere, get my mind off something. I'll be back by lunch, I'll take you out to Ichiraku's then if you want. Okay?" Sasuke replied, wanting to get away from Naruto right now. He couldn't trust himself around the blond at this moment, not with all his emotions wanting to break free.
Naruto nodded and Sasuke drove off. The blond entered the house and put the flowers in a vase with water, worried about his friend. Yeah Sasuke was usually just being Sasuke, but he could be irrational and do stupid things sometimes. "Oh Sasuke...please be okay."
Sasuke had ended up driving himself to Sakura's house. She was the only one he could talk to about this sort of stuff besides Itachi, but Itachi was likely to make fun of him. Sakura was the only reasonable choice.
He pounded on the door, knowing Sakura would be alone because her blinding pink car was the only one there. Sakura answered the door, looking at a dilapidated Sasuke.
"What did Naruto do?" she asked, knowing Naruto was the only person who could do this to him.
"He dumped me..for Gaara..." Sasuke replied, sulking into the house as Sakura moved aside, letting him in.
"Oh god..are you okay?" She closed the door and guided him to the couch. He sat down and she went into the kitchen to get him some alchohol, it was the only thing she could do to keep him from doing something extremely stupid, even by Naruto's standards.
"I love him, but I want him to be happy, so..." he trailed off as she handed him the glass of vodka, downing some of it then continuing. "Love sucks! Why the hell can't some people just stick their stupid red-headed selves into their own lives and leave us happy couples be! Because I mean like, Naruto and I were cuddling on the couch at my place just this morning, and I felt something there. No awkwardness at all. It just felt...right. Ya know?" Sasuke downed the rest of his vodka and he started crying, sobs and all. "We were perfectly content there, happy and all. It was nice, he was in my lap and we were all snuggled close and tight, and his head was on my chest. But then that damned Gaara called and he ruined everything! And the worst part is that Naruto doesn't even like Gaara like that and I know that Gaara is just using him. I don't want Naruto to fall for Gaara and then get hurt! I'd kill that red headed bastard if he did that to my Naru!"
Sakura pulled him into a tight hug, feeling the urge to kick Gaara's and Naruto's asses. What were they thinking, doing this to Sasuke? How could they? "It's okay Sasuke. I'll smack Naruto on Friday at our girls' night, and you don't have to go then. I'll come up with a plan to make Naruto jealous and get him to want you again, okay?"
Sasuke nodded shakily, wanting Naruto back in his arms. "Okay.."
"Good. Now let's get your mind off of this, too much sadness and crying causes wrinkles you know. And no one likes a wrinkly gay." Sasuke almost smiled as he remembered Naruto saying that about his moisturizer. That's where he got it from.
"Okay..but how do you suggest we do that?"
"Well I have a few condoms up in my room, we could always use the usual way to get your mind off of it," she said suggestively. Sasuke chuckled under his breath.
"It's just like you to get horny whenever a friend is upset." Sakura laughed.
"Oh shut up Sasuke, you know you used to love it." Sasuke nodded, remembering the times he needed to get his mind off of Naruto and Sakura had always been willing to help. Yes, sex with the pink haired girl had been nice, but he was still gay.
"I might be willing to again, just depends on if you have any other ideas first."
"Oh come on Sasuke, I dont even have clothes on hardly. I mean like seriously. A see through robe covering my bra and panties. I finally even got Aunt Tsunade's (1) boobs! (2) I mean seriously!" Sasuke was sitting back in the couch now, watching Sakura point out her insanely huge breasts.
"Strip me then, 'hun'. I want to see if you're still as good as you were." Sasuke smirked just as Sakura did, except he pulled it off better.
The pinkette stripped Sasuke first, leaving no clothes whatsoever, rubbing his dick as she went, getting him hard. She then stripped herself, dropping the robe to the floor first then abandoning her undergarments. (3)
Sakura got onto Sasuke's lap, straddling him and rubbing herself against his hard on. "You know Sasuke, it's not as much fun if you don't play along with me," Sakura said, kissing his neck.
"Well then shove my dick in you," he said, Naruto not completely off his mind, but this definitely starting to help.
Sakura stopped and giggled at Sasuke's groan. She got off him, grabbed his hand and dragged him upstairs. "Not without a condom, silly. I don't want to get pregnant right now, my parents would kill me!" Sasuke sighed, letting her drag him up the stairs into her room.
Sakura opened the door to her room and pushed him inside. She ran to her nightstand and got out a box of condoms, getting one out for Sasuke. She threw it at him. "Do I have to wear one? They take all the pleasure out of sex."
"Yes, you do. Because we both know you're eventually going to get on top, causing you to cum inside me, and in which case, I don't want to get pregnant. Now put it on." Sasuke sighed, but obeyed and put the condom on.
He lied down on her bed, openly inviting her to ride him. She giggled and obliged, straddling him again and getting his dick inside her. At first, she moved slowly, causing slight sensations to travel through the raven. Eventually though, she began moving faster, causing both herself and the raven beneath her to moan in pleasure.
An annoying sob sounded outside, but both of them ignored it. Sasuke dismissed it as a wounded deer that would just die anyway.
He eventually began to grow tired of her being on top and quickly switched positions on her. She was lying on her back now, hands held above her head by the raven. He shoved his dick in and out of her, hard and forceful. She made a sound that was somewhere between a moan and a scream. Sasuke smirked, and thrust harder. After a few minutes of the pinkette beneath him screaming, he cummed (came?) into the condom. To be nice he thrust into the girl a few more times then exited completely.
Sasuke took the condom off and threw it into the trash basket beside Sakura's night stand. He didn't want to lie on top of her, so instead he lied down beside her, arm over her in a sort of hug. Both teens were panting from their previous actions, but it had succeeded in getting the raven's mind off of Naruto and Sakura getting screwed by her friend again.
Sasuke was driving home, not believing he could actually fall asleep after he and the pinkette fucked the second time that day. It caused the raven to be late, and he was wondering how Naruto was doing and if his kitchen actually survived the blond's hunger. Eh, he'd find out when he found out.
The young raven pulled into his driveway, getting out of the car and locking it. He walked into his house, seeing that Naruto was watching T.V. Sasuke put the flowers he had bought earlier that day in a vase with water and got the blond's attention.
"You coming? I said I'd take you to Ichiraku's and I'm holding up on that promise," Sasuke said, not noticing the heartbroken expression the blond wore.
Naruto sighed, and replied with, "I guess. I'm not going to be screwing around with one of my friends, so I'm not going to be late to get in the car." Sasuke wondered what the hell Naruto could be talking about. There was no way in hell he could've possibly known about him and Sakura playing around earlier.
"Look, if this is about me being late, you've got the wrong ide-" He was cut off by an upset Naruto.
"No Sasuke! If you wanted a damn relationship with me you should have said something! Hell, I would have stood Gaara down in a second flat if you had just told me that you wanted to be with me! But no! You go and screw Sakura? Just what kind of person are you, Sasuke?" Naruto screamed out from his position in the corner of the couch. Tears were streaming down his face, his knees pushed up to his chin. The sight broke Sasuke's heart, he wanted so badly to tell Naruto everything...
"Naruto..." Sasuke took a step closer to Naruto, reaching his hand out to wipe the tears from Naruto's face.
"DON'T touch me! I don't want you near me!" Sasuke dropped his hand to his side. Had he really hurt Naruto that badly? And how the hell did he find out?
"Sorry..but..how did you even find out?" Naruto averted his gaze and mumbled something under his breath. "What? I couldn't hear you."
"Gaara came over just as you left. He said I needed to see something. He took me to Sakura's house, around back. She always keeps that huge window open. I heard you both before I saw you. I didn't want to believe it at first, but I had to. The proof was right in front of me...but what hurts the most is that Gaara knew you were screwing around with random sluts and I didn't. Do you not trust me enough to let me know this stuff? I mean seriously...If you were straight why didn't you tell me? I'd be okay with it. But..using me like that? Hell no. No one does that shit and gets away with it." Sasuke was shocked.
"What the hell? Naruto, I'm gay! Do you need proof or something? Hell, I'll scream it from the roof tops if you want me to!" Since when did Sasuke yell his sexuality out randomly?
"Go ahead! Lie to the whole world! I don't care! I hate you and never want to see you again!" Naruto ran out the door, leaving a broken hearted Sasuke behind him.
What had he just done? What the hell had Sasuke just done to his dear Naruto? He'd made a mistake that's what. He'd do anything, anything, to get Naruto back. He just needed to get over his heartbreak first.
(1) Yes, 'Aunt Tsunade'. Why did I make Tsunade Sakura's aunt? Just trust me on this one.
(2) Yay Sakura finally has a chest? I don't know. It's part of what I'm planning though, don't worry.
(3) Yeah so my word choice is funny. So sue me.
So tell me, was this overdone? Or what? Sasuke needed to get his heart broken to see just how much he needs Naruto, if anyone wanted an explanation. This is all vital to the plot, I promise. Nothing from now on isn't going to happen for a reason, even that fluff in the beginning of this chapter had a reason.
Also, this chapter is for an old friend of mine. You were like my Gaara back then. Except you weren't trying to get in my pants, and you actually let me know something that was a complete truth. Thank you for saving me from getting hurt too badly.
Review please, I love knowing how I'm doing so far from opinions other than my own.
And..Next time:
I skip almost a complete week because I can't write anything with school involved in it (it's really not my forte, I suck worse at writing school scenes than I do at writing blow jobs) and I had a huge shock for a certain blondie that not many would really expect. Also, a long awaited confession finally comes, but it's most certainly NOT the end of this story.
