A/N: First off, I would like to start this NEW and REVISED chapter by stating that I apologize to those who got a chance to read the original chapter 7. It was a complete mess, and I apologize for it. I had been stressed out with a lot of things happening in my personal life, along with trying to force myself to write the next chapter for this story—so it came out like complete crap. Things were rushed, and it was just terrible. So I removed it. To those who didn't get to read it, I'm glad you didn't. Your minds were not tainted and soiled, like the others who unfortunately endured such inhumane literature. Which means now, you have a more prepared and "processed" (and kinda short) chapter which is highly acceptable in my opinion. So once again, I apologize for the confusion and misunderstanding of last chapter, but hopefully this will make it up to everyone! Enjoy!

SORRY FOR ANY ERRORS; REMEBER NOT BETA'D!

~Chapter 7~

1 Corinthians 13:11

When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.

Naruto.

If Naruto had never made a claim about how much he felt like dying, then today would be a start. Holding Sasuke's hand in the firm grip they both shared, the blonde could read the mischief all over his porcelain face. Dammit! Cerulean eyes averted towards his grandfather who smiled at the cordial gesture, unaware that Naruto had gotten to know this man—inside and out—just two days ago. God, if this had been your way to punish Naruto for leaving during the sermon to piss, Lord please have mercy on his soul. "Y-Yeah, Mister Uchiha...I feel as though we've met before as well." Sasuke smirked, releasing the blonde's hand at which he accepted the wooden chair across from his new favorite person. Naruto mentally cursed himself at how nervous he sounded just now. He could barely think, let alone speak with this guy in his home! Sasuke fucking knew where he lived now! What if the bastard came over when his grandparents were away or something, and left Naruto unable to fight off the sin of Lust once more.

Did he find himself sexually attracted to Sasuke?

No. Not in the slightest. He was drunk that night, and as Jamie Foxx stated in an old song of his—that Naruto heard on the radio one night—he would blame all this hell on the alcohol. Homosexuality is a plague that will condemn those to an eternity of hell—that's what Jiraiya always taught him. So for 24 years he went untouched by homosexuality, yet this prick just comes along and now he's having to question his own preference. Hell no! Damn that!

"...ruto...Naruto?...Naruto!" The blonde man jumped. His eyes wide in fear as he directed his gaze towards Tsunade, who had been currently passing him his plate of food when he zoomed out. His cheeks burned red, and Jiraiya instantly narrowed his eyes in calculation. "So Mister Uchiha, have you taken real good consideration in our case? I mean most lawyers do not accept such claims as this one, and we are in dire need." Jiraiya nodded his head, refusing to look away from Naruto who currently had his head bowed down in shame. Sasuke took notice of Jiraiya's intense staring from his peripheral vision, and decided to save the blonde idiot from his misery.

"Oh yes ma'am, Mrs. Sanin. I am more than welcome to help families like you through such injustice. I spoke with Mr. Sanin the other day about the case..." Jiraiya looked up at the call of his name, nodding in agreement with Sasuke as Tsunade watched over her husband. Naruto released the breath he didn't even know he held, sending Sasuke a quick glare which he returned with a slight smirk of the lip. "...I just needed a bit more time to gather information. Work as a lawyer is quite hectic, I have you know." Sasuke assured them, eliciting Jiraiya to smile understandingly.

"It's not often we find a lawyer who's as caring as you, Mister Uchiha-"

"-Of trust me, I'm not as caring as you think-"

"-Oh, but you are." Tsunade added, earning a smile from her husband as well. Sasuke grabbed his fork, accepting the compliments with a head nod and a thank you. Naruto took notice to all of it, the way Sasuke spoke to his grandparents with gratitude, and pride; the way his onyx eyes hardened as he spoke in his soothing lawyer voice, that since chills down Naruto's spine; the way those thin soft pink lips molded against one another as he spoke his thoughts and/or plans to insure that they won this case. It had been a side of Sasuke, Naruto had not been introduced too. And to be frankly honest, it was arousing in a bizarre way—God save your child! Naruto forked his noodles uneasily, intently listening to Sasuke's baritone voice coo to him in the most awkward way. He just wanted the man to shut up and say nothing else for the rest of the night.

"Naruto?" The 24-year-old abruptly jumped, his blue eyes wide in fear when his orbs met Tsunade's. She quirked up an eyebrow at his grandson's bizarre behavior, while Jiraiya and Sasuke spoke more on the matter of business. Naruto laced his fingers through his hair, and loosed up his tie a bit. His esophagus felt drier than the Sahara Desert, and he feared that his hidden dilemma had been just spilling out his pours.

But did he have the courage to tell his grandmother what happened? Obviously not! I mean, c'mon on people, what would he say?! Or better yet what could he say?!

'Um yeah, well I know Sasuke already. We had sex in his house two days ago, during a drunken outing at a local club with Kiba that I went too. That's kinda why I didn't come home that night, because I was warming up another MAN'S bed!'

Nope. He would die with this secret, and would forever repent to God until he forgave him for his sin.

"Yes ma'am?"

"Are you alright?..." Sasuke cut his eyes towards the blonde at the abrupt question, taking notice at how ill he had begun to look. Sasuke mentally died with laughter at how discombobulated Naruto had become with him in his presence. Poor guy. Cerulean eyes averted slowly towards his grandfather, who dropped his fork nonchalantly upon his plate with a loud clatter.

"...Naruto, your grandmother asked you a question. Do be disrespectful in front of our guest." Sasuke raised his hand to dismiss the statement.

"Now, Now Mr. Sanin, don't treat me like a king or something. I'm just a human as you all, and I have sinned just like everyone else." Jiraiya's eyes instantly dared towards the mysterious man, who smiled lightly at how fast he had been able to turn their undivided attention back onto himself rather than Naruto. He watched the blonde sigh yet again in relief. Sometimes he loathed himself for being so kind to this Dobe.

"You've sinned before?!" Jiraiya exclaimed, his eyes boring into Sasuke in great astonishment. "I would've never guessed. You carry yourself with such dignity and assertiveness. My goodness." Naruto watched from the sidelines as the trio conversed about sin, and/or business related issues. The young man couldn't breathe, nor could be fathom his next moves. It felt so easy for Sasuke to continue on with life as if nothing happened between those two at all. Naruto couldn't do that. He couldn't ignore what they shared no matter how much he tried to!

Was this love, or what this how all virgins acted after loosing something as precious as their virginity to someone else?

He wouldn't know, and honestly didn't want to at all.

Was Kiba right to say that he was gay? He never had any gay intentions in his life before Sasuke came around, so why now. Naruto once heard this saying from a man who lived a couple blocks of the street—he was a crazy old thing, but he spoke wisdom whenever he opened his mouth. But the old fart told him some years ago,

'Everyone has a tiny bit of homosexuality within them, but it takes just one special person to bring it out of them and into the light. No one is born gay, they just find the right person to bring out a side of them they never knew they had.'

Naruto looked up from his contemplation, and his heart nearly dropped. Sasuke was staring back at him with an all knowing look, and instantly Naruto felt like dying even more.

He was going gay for Sasuke, and Naruto sure as hell didn't like it, but believe that he was going to do what he could, with all his might to stop it.
