A/N: So this update is a bit late right. I dunno if you noticed or not lol. I was getting together my other Naruto fiction "love first sight" . I finally finished the chapter posted it and then returned to this one. I really love this fic and I might post three chapters together but then again I might not. I hope you could tell me your thoughts on this story. This is my first time writing in first person and sometimes it gets messy even in my head. I hope you could appreciate it by commenting.

This chapter is un-beta' pardon the mistakes.
"Love is like a virus. It can happen to anybody at any time."
Chapter 07 : First Date part I
"Sasuke.. Hey wake up.." I heard a voice gently calling and trying to wake me up but I resisted. I was so comfortable and felt so damn relaxed after such a long time. I didn't wanted to wake up. No! No matter how appealing and husky that voice was. I tried to block out the sound by pulling the blankets over my head and shuffling closer to the source of heat. On this I heard the soft chuckle and felt an arm pulling me even closer to that delicious warmth. I felt cozy and comfy all over. It was like I was wrapped in a cocoon and heat was perfect, the softness was perfect, even the hardness of my heater was perfect. I wasn't going to leave it just for some sexy whispers.
"Just because I know that you are more than asleep I'm going to let this comment out." I felt a bit shuffling and then warm breath ghosted over my ear. "You look so ridiculously adorable like this that I want to eat you up." I felt my eye brows twitch on the 'adorable' comment but the warmth was too comfortable to leave for that single false remark. I ignored and snuggled closer and this time I felt relief wash over me when I felt strong arms going around my waist and pulling me even more closer to that warmth.
"Sasuke please wake up. We've already missed work but we can at least enjoy the day right. So please get up." OK... So now whoever was talking had my full attention. 'Missed work? Nah. It was impossible.' I was like a fucking human clock and Hello I've insomniac for so long. It was an impossible thing to happen. Right? I groaned and slowly opened my eyes. My eyes felt so heavy and I felt like I would pass out again but I had to make sure that whatever that stupid voice was claiming wasn't true.
"Naruto?" I blinked and rubbed my eyes to get rid of my bleary image. What was Naruto doing in my bed at this ungodly hour and why was he all dressed up too? Was this some kind of dream? I blinked again.
"Hey there sleeping beauty. Finally awake are we?" Naruto smiled softly and leaned forward to drop a kiss on my forehead. When I felt the warm press of his lips, suddenly I felt all of my previous drowsiness vanishing into thin air. Because the kiss felt quite real. I racked my eyes quickly on my surrounding and the room was completely unfamiliar. Things slowly came rushing to my mind and I was suddenly beyond embarrass on my show of previous night. What was I thinking clinging to him. What the hell would he be thinking about me. I stared at Naruto's face biting my lips anxiously and he just smiled cheekily.
"I know I'm hot but you don't have to eye rape me like that babe." He winked and casually tucked one of my stray strands behind my ear. I felt like one of the vein had just popped up in my temple. 'He did not just called me babe.'
"Call me babe again and you family jewels will be in big trouble." I looked at Naruto and smiled coldly. In turn Naruto did gulped, faking nervousness.I rolled my eyes and he just chuckled,"What time it is?" I said brushing my hairs back and looking at him, who looked quite comfortable lying on his side on the bed with his suit on. Was he planning on wearing this today? Because it was already ruined.
"It's 11 a.m. You slept in." He smiled lazily, hugging a pillow and looking at me all relaxed and calm, while I had a mini heart attack.
"The fuck." I mumbled under my breath and quickly jumped out of the bed to check my phone and it was indeed now 11:05. I looked up to look at Naruto in utter disbelief, who was now lying flat on his stomach and looking at me with his sparking eyes with a playful smile on his fucking perfect face.
"Don't look at me like that." He pouted almost in ridiculously adorable way and I wanted to crack my head open on my train of thoughts. Naruto was definitely not good for me." I did tried to wake you up you know. But you were sleeping like a log."He got up in a sitting position now and shrugged his shoulders like it wasn't something odd to sleep in.
"So you are saying that I didn't woke up even when you tried waking me up." I said trying to act calm and composed even though when I was having kind of a mini freak out.
"Yup. I tried waking you up but you wouldn't wake up. So I went ahead, showered and changed and tried again but then you pulled me too and you looked so relaxed so I just couldn't wake you up again. And I would've let you sleep as long you wanted but it was such a waste to spend whole day sleeping." Naruto smiled and slowly got up from the bed, He strode toward me and then when he was close enough he leaned down and kissed my cheeks. It was such an innocent gesture that I couldn't even get angry. "I do owe you a date. No?" His smile was mirthful and I had the sudden urge to kiss those full lips. I bit my lips and suppressed my urge, instead I just let out a small half smile.
"You did promised me a date but how about a breakfast first?" I said leaning closer to him and breathing softly on his lips. I gave a chaste kiss on his lips and stepped away. Naruto looked dazed a bit and he unconsciously licked his lips before looking at me.
"You can borrow any thing you want. I'll uh go and prepare breakfast." He cleared his throat and gave me a charming smile before leaving. Once he left, I flopped down on the bed and took a deep breath. I looked back at the sheets glaring at them accusingly. It was first time in my life that I've slept in. Never! Never ever this have happened to me. Even before I had insomnia I have always been an early bird kind of person and after my break up with Sakura and when shit got down in my life I've never had a peaceful sleep but last night was... Well let's not think about all of that stupid emotional roller coaster. What the hell was I even thinking being all clingy and desperate for him.
What was done, couldn't be changed so there was no need to mope around. I had to keep my shit together. I frowned and clicked my tongue in annoyance while rummaging through Naruto's closet to find something to wear. I contemplated over what to wear because he was thinking about going out for the 'date'. I looked around in his collection of clothes and I had to say, his taste was amazing and quite colorful. There were clothes of light to dark colors and I could easily imagine how he would look in them. I frowned. I shouldn't be thinking too much about Naruto. I sighed and shook my head before getting a white button down shirt and dark jeans.
After shower I quickly dressed up and then dried my hairs. I thought about styling them but then thought against it and left them like that. If we were going out then I didn't wanted to use gel or any other products to just wash them again. I simply swept my hairs back and looked at the reflection. My two upper buttons were opened and sleeves were rolled up. Once I was satisfied with my appearance, I got out of the room and slowly made my way to the open kitchen area. Naruto had his back to me and was cooking something which distinctively smelled like bacon and eggs. I looked at the Isle where pancakes were already placed.
The way he was humming and haven't looked back meant only one thing that he haven't yet noticed my presence. I smirked and slowly got close to him. I slowly slid my arms around his torso and gently kissed his nape. Instead of tensing up Naruto simply leaned into my touch completely relaxing his body.. He tilted his head a bit and gave a charming smile, "You smell like me." The simple smile was so sincere and breathtaking with those easily formed dimples on his cheeks that it almost made me stare.
"I do." I unconsciously smiled and Naruto switched the burner off before turning toward me. I let my one arms fall on my sides while Naruto gently placed his hand on the small of my back. He racked his eyes over me appreciatively and once again gave a blinding smile before suddenly hugging me. I was surprised but quickly responded to unexpected hug with my own arm around his shoulders.
"You're wearing my clothes." The words were said with childish excitement while his breath ghosted over my face due to our proximity. His electric blue eyes had a gentleness in them yet the fervent feeling was more than evident in his gaze. He was pleased by my appearance or more like me wearing his clothes had pleased him and he wasn't hiding at all.
"I look good, Don't I?" I asked smirking with a hint of arrogance while arching my eyebrow, tilting my head to the side and Naruto gaze darkened a bit while his eyes flickered to my lips for a moment before intensely staring into my own eyes.
"You always do." He murmured the words before leaning forward and softly brushed his lips over gaze was hooded and when he looked up, I was left breathless with raw lust and possessiveness in those blue eyes. His hold on my waist was demanding and strong and I didn't know why but I could feel my breath coming short and my eyes getting heavy under that hot burning gaze. It was exhilarating. It haven't been long since we started going out merely some day yet I was more than aware what that sinful mouth could do. How his kisses made me feel alive and how that pink soft tongue could do the unimaginable things. Shit. I was getting impatient and the soft brush of his lips had left me gasping for more. But I stood my ground and looked at him defiantly. I wasn't going to cave in. He knew I wanted it and I knew he wanted it as much by looking into his eyes. He was barely restraining it. May be me wearing his clothes and smelling like him had turned him on a bit too much.
He parted his lips and gave a sensual lick to his lips. My eyes were trained on the movement but then I looked up and just quirked my eyebrow, 'This is all you've got?' I knew that I didn't have to spell it out for him to know what i meant.
"So stubborn."He said pouting and I smirked in response but all of my smugness vanished in thin air when he closed his lips on me. Our lips fitted perfectly against each other and he licked my lower lips hotly. My hands slowly slid up and I softly slipped my fingers inside Naruto's silky locks and let my eyelids flutter close to feel that burning sensation. The feeling of being desired was addictive. I parted my lips and let Naruto slip his tongue inside my mouth. It felt good to be caressed by that tongue. After last night all of it felt even more intimate.I felt like I would melt under that gentle yet fervoured touch. The kiss was a gentle caress of Naruto's tongue against mine and it felt good. The way he was alternating between exploring my mouth and sucking on my lips left me almost giddy and I could feel my body slowly getting hot.
Naruto slowly broke our kiss and opened his eyes too. His breath was coming short and his face was tinted with pink hue. It wasn't like I was any better, I was breathy too and I could feel that my face was also no better than Naruto's. It was turning into some thing entirely different. Even though the kiss have been gentle yet there was something strangely ruthless and feral about that man who face was inches apart from my own and whose arms were holding me close to him so possessively. I swallowed thickly. It was escalating quickly. Whatever that 'it' was. 'it' was dangerous.
"Sasuke" Naruto leaned forward and whispered my name provocatively, making my body shiver with slight anticipation. I bit my lips and tried to school my features and not let him know how this little game was affecting me. I was going to break his suffocating and burning hold on me when he kissed my ear and then licked the shell of my ear. He licked it down to my ear lobe and then sucked there making me in response suck in a sharp breath. I tugged his hairs a bit roughly but Naruto didn't stop it. He would switch between licking and rotation his tongue and then again he would suck on my ear lobe or lick just behind my ear. I could feel my knees going weak. I had to put so much effort on kept standing and on letting out my voice and it was becoming more and more difficult with every passing second. I almost lost it when Naruto hand slowly slid inside my shirt and slowly started to kiss on my neck.
"Naruto." My voice was strained and I haven't even wanted to call out his name but it was becoming a habit of my body to turn into a mess and have a mind of it's own whenever I had too much exposure to Naruto. "Don't start something you aren't going to finish." I said with as much control I could and tried to break his hold. Naruto simply tightened his hold on me and pressed me closer to him.
"I'm happy we're on the phase where we copying each other's phrases but..." 'Copying phrases? Now I'm confuse.' I bit back a curse when Naruto sucked roughly on my neck. "I won't back away from my own promise too." Naruto was dropping kisses all over my neck and jaw while mumbling the words in an alluring whisper. My control started to slowly slip away again and it annoyed me. I was already aware of my lower half getting hard and the way Naruto's touch was affecting me made me uncomfortable. It was irritating how I wanted him to stop yet how I was enjoying it and didn't wanted to stop him.
"What promise?" I asked a bit irritated on how pleasurable Naruto's tongue felt over my neck. I didn't know why but it was pissing me off.
"Over the call."Naruto said and I internally groaned, 'the call again'," I promised that I would make you cum over and over, again and again. And you know that already that we don't have to go all the way for me to make you cum." Naruto's hot whisper made my body go stiff and my eyes widened, 'What the fuck was he talking about? Wtf have we talked over the call that he made such a promise to me. Shit I'm never getting drunk again!' "In-fact I'm confident in my skills that I don't even have to touch you down there directly to make you cum." Naruto gave a sensual lick to the length of my neck and I shivered a bit, bitting my lips to suppress any voices. It was irritating how arrogant and serious he sounded. The nerve!
"After.." I said bitting out the words through clenched teeth and trying to regain my control and composure.
"Hn?" Naruto looked completely engrossed in sucking and kissing my neck with his hands creeping up and touching my body with a feather like touch, making the goose bumps appear on my skin.
"I said after the breakfast." I said and mustered all my strength before pushing him away. Naruto's arms were still around my waist even though his hold was loose. He stared at me blinking almost confused and dazed. His expression was enough to make me smirk smugly. It was comforting to know that he was also effected by all of this, "You didn't made the breakfast to just let it get cold right?" I said and gently tucked a stray slightly longer strand behind his ear. He blinked and then looked back at the stuff he had prepared. He took a deep breath before he hugged me again and I felt his body shaking in laughter . A small smile tugged on my lips too.
Naruto stepped away and grinned, looking mischievous like a child and crinkled his eyes a bit, "Nope let's eat. I hope it's not too cold yet." Naruto turned and swiftly took the eggs and bacon out in plates while I took the orange juice out of the fridge and poured it in two glasses. Naruto set the dishes and took a seat beside me on the stool.
"Help your self." He said grinning before taking three pan cakes out of the pile he had cooked. I nodded and took two for me too. I tasted them and I was surprised, not only thankful on the fact that they were still warm but also the flavor. It tasted like mash potatoes and cinnamon? I looked up only to see Naruto already looking at me with a happy expression. Did he knew that I wasn't a fan of sweet things?
"It's good." I said with an appreciative tone and saw how Naruto grinned, his face brightening and tinting just a bit. It was weird how his smile made me feel warm too. It felt so comfortable.
"I'm glad that it's to your liking." Naruto snickered and I just rolled my eyes on his attempt to sound like a butler. I suddenly remembered the last time we've had dinner in the same place with Sakura too. 'Sakura'. I looked at Naruto. He was eating so happily, humming in delight. I frowned a bit. I really needed to know the depth of Naruto and Sakura's relationship. They've always been friends since the junior high, Even after we entered high school Sakura stilled talked about how she and Naruto would meet up time to time. Strangely I never any felt any threat from their friendship and Sakura also looked content with their three years ago the only reason Naruto's company had agreed for that project was also because of Naruto and Sakura's friendship but what about now? And what about that proposal?
After my engagement with Sakura broke we never talked in peace. Sakura did dropped off sometimes but it was always to rub our poverty in our faces and, about Naruto, I looked at the happily eating guy, What was Naruto and Sakura's relationship? Sakura had claimed that they were going to marry and Naruto also had deliberately told me about this but what now? I hated Sakura but of course I wasn't going to force Naruto to stop associating with her because well aside from physical attraction I felt nothing for Naruto. It wasn't a matter of me being a open minded person but in the current condition I wasn't that bothered by that. Yes if their friendship got in the way of my plan than I was going to have a problem but until then no. But still I had to know what their relationship status was?
"A penny for you thoughts." Naruto said swallowing the bite in his mouth and sipping the juice.
"Nothing important." I said and took a bite of my eggs.
"Indulge me." His tone was simple but serious and demanding. He was looking at me expectedly with his electric blue eyes shining almost dangerously. I thought about lying but I think it was better to get this thing out of the way.
"It's about you and Sakura." I restrained my self to not to say Sakura's name bitterly and surprisingly it wasn't that difficult to keep my poker face.
"Oh if it's about proposal I already told my parents about having a lover over the call but I would be meeting with them tonight after you go back." He said smiling and I bit the inside of my cheeks.
"Already assuming I would be here until tonight?" I gave a smirk while taking chewing the bacon.
"I do have confidence in me. I won't let you get bored and I think that's the goal right? To have fun and enjoy." He asked with a mirthful gaze.
"Hmm. If you are good, you might get a good night kiss." I was enjoying the comfortable chat we were having so casually. Even though we were never close and I never even tried to get close to any one other than Sakura yet it was surprising how well we clicked.
"I'm planning on getting so much more than a kiss and by the end of the night you would see it for your self." He looked smug and somehow I wasn't irritated even a bit.
"Confident much. are we?" My tone was sarcastic but Naruto laughed it off.
"I am confident that I can seduce you." Naruto winked before stuffing his mouth with half of the pan cake which was left.
"You look so charming right now." I said dryly and Naruto scowled.
"Hey. I am always charming." Naruto pouted while gulping down his remaining juice and I could tell by his eyes that he was enjoying it too.
"Yes. Yes." I rolled my eyes and Naruto just pouted. We ate in silence for a while before Naruto spoke again.
"By the way Sasuke if you don't mind I want to ask you something." Naruto said looking a bit hesitant but when he spoke his voice held no hesitance.
"Hn?" I looked at him while bracing my self for whatever Naruto was going to throw at me.
"What was the reason behind the breakup?" Naruto got up and started to clean up. I got up too, to help him. When Naruto asked the question, his tone was casual. Like he didn't wanted to come too strong but yet a thing which he thought was important to know. As for me.. I wasn't expecting Naruto to ask this question. I bit my lips and my expression became a bit cold. I felt sudden rage bubbling inside me. Was Naruto fucking with me?! When I gave no answer and quietly stood there leaning against the counter, looking away Naruto was the one to call out my name.
"Sasuke?" Naruto spoke my name but I tried ignoring his voice and glared at the windows. "Hey. I know you are uncomfortable but I think it's necessary to talk about this."
"Do you really not know?" I turned to face him and tried to ask casually but my voice came off as cold and bitter.
"Is there something I'm missing?" Naruto's eyes narrowed and he looked at me with solemn expression while folding his arms over his chest.
"...Sakura said she didn't love me anymore. She said that she had someone else." I said after a pause, bitting out the words sarcastically, looking at Naruto with a cold gaze. Calculating his expressions.
"Sakura said that?" Naruto's eyes widened in surprise, "I can't believe it." He looked shocked.
"Why not? You are so close to her. You were going to marry her. You should know all of this shit already?" I said looking away with a composed and neutral tone but my fists were clutched on my sides. If Naruto was acting, He was a great actor and it pissed me off. Because this was making me doubt Naruto and all of his actions.
"Sasuke I've already said this but I really don't know. Sakura never talked about why the engagement was called off. And who the heck is that guy for whom Sakura left you of all people." Naruto's tone seemed sincere and somehow my heart ached. May be he really was a good actor.
"You." I said and stared at him with a leveled gaze. I was over Sakura and I wasn't angry over Naruto but his acting of being oblivious was pissing me off.
"Me what?" he looked dumb founded and I felt irritated beyond belief. I just tusked and looked away when finally he though about doing the climax or should I say anti-climax. I should say what he said shocked me a bit too," This is not even funny Sasuke. Sakura and me? Are you kidding me? This is the most absurd thing I've ever heard!" Naruto voice was cold and he glared at me with so much intensity that I finally had to look at him with my own heated gaze.
"You are the one who wanted to know the name of that guy. And Naruto do I look like I'm kidding to you?" I knew I shouldn't be talking so coldly to Naruto but fuck I needed closure too. I've hated Naruto too for so long because he was the reason Sakura left me. And now all of a sudden he was denying it. Fine I get it that he doesn't want me to think bad of him but it's not a reason to fucking lie to me. I felt my self losing my temper and all the warmth was leaving my heart. It was so frustrating.I looked at Naruto who was looking a me while bitting his lips. I clenched my fists and took a deep breath, looking away.'He fucking knew something. I knew it just by looking at Naruto's face' It made me feel a searing ache in my heart. Why was he doing this? What was his purpose any way! I really wanted to leave right now. I know I should stay calm and composed but I was really getting pissed off. I think it was better if I left the kitchen before I snapped.
"Sasuke.." Naruto's voice was helpless. and it irked me even more.
"You know something and you're not telling me." My voice was turning cold quickly and I was losing it. I knew I shouldn't because it was going to backfire on my own face but still the thought of Naruto lying to me and deceiving me was irritating me a bit too much. How could he lie with those sincere eyes.
"It's not something for me to tell you Sasuke. Sakura is.. She is my friends Sasuke. My only real friend. Sasuke you're important for me but so is Sakura. And when I say I didn't know about it then I really don't Sasuke. Please trust me Sasuke I would never lie to you." Again. That sincere voice and those pure eyes looking at me with warmth. Naruto was facing me with a troubled yet gentle expression. "She never told me about her reasoning Sasuke. She never told me that she said something like that to you. If you want we can talk to her and may be you would get your answers." He slowly crossed the small distance between us and stood closer to me with our sides touching.
"Then what was that about you and Sakura getting married?" I asked looking straight into Naruto's eyes. Naruto didn't even flinch a bit on my coldness and looked at me with a calm composed face.
"That was unexpected for me too Sasuke. My mother is friends with aunt Mebuki and she had invited them over lunch. Me and Sakura spent the time taking a stroll in the yard talking. After Haruno's left my mother talked to me about this. And I asked her to give me some time. I asked Sakura and she was more than OK with this and I thought that if you said no I'll just get through with this. If it wasn't you then marriage was just merely a paper contract for me. If the other person wanted to do this knowing everything then I had no issues too and well rhetorically speaking who could be better than your best friend to marry to?" Naruto's tone was calm and he had said everything casually but he looked wary. As for me after knowing his reasoning I simply felt uncomfortable. Somehow even after this talk I got no real answers.
"Hn." I took a deep breath. I didn't trust my voice to not come out harsh. Even I had swore to not get drunk ever again. I really wished I could get at least one strong drink.
"If you want we can... cancel our date. You can go home if.." Naruto started off and seriously it pissed me off. Who was he to decide? Well he technically didn't decide but still!
"No. We're going on our date." I said scowling and then turned away from Naruto to get away from body tensed when I felt arms going around my waist.
"Sasuke I know it's difficult for you to trust my words and if Sakura said that then you are right to doubt me but Sasuke believe me. Just like I could never break Sakura's trust, I could never lie to you. I would never deceive for anything in this world." Naruto's just whisper made my body paralyzed. I suddenly felt like such a shit for doing this to Naruto but a part of me felt satisfied with my own decision of not trusting Naruto. If Naruto wasn't lying then time will prove it. I don't have to feel bad about anything. I gritted my teeth. Naruto squeezed me a bit tighter before releasing me slowly turning me toward with his hand on my shoulders. "Please don't be mad." His tone was soft and gentle. He looked so earnest and sincere that I just wanted to trust his words for once and all but I couldn't. Not just now.
It felt like Naruto was influencing me with his natural charisma a bit too much. Shit. I was so fucking confused. But then again I could be alert all the time about Naruto. Even if there is a chance he is lying to me I will not fall for it. There was no need to take any rash decisions just like that. Especially when I have already decided that this relationship was solely for my revenge. I took a deep breath and schooled my features to a relaxed slightly impassive mask.
"This isn't easy for me Naruto. I won't lie and tell you that I'm over it. I might be over my breakup with Sakura but the bitterness is still I won't run away for 'this'. I want to see where it will take us." I looked straight into Naruto's eyes with determination. Yes, revenge aside I was interested in Naruto, at least physically. I felt comfortable around him and he could be a big help for me in future too. I wasn't going to throw all of this away.
Naruto didn't said any thing. He suddenly looked flustered and I couldn't resist that small boyish smile too. So I leaned forward and kissed him. He didn't looked surprised at all and responded me immediately. I was holding Naruto close with my fingers snaking inside his soft blond locks with his hand holding onto my arm. Our lips met softly, saying the apologies which were much needed to mend what had been hurt. The gentle caress might be the only thing we needed and I did relaxed against that kiss. The gentleness of his kiss and that warmth seeped into my heart, melting away the ice there. When our lips finally broke I saw how Naruto's eyes looked dazed and soft, looking at me with so many emotion that it even overwhelmed me too. What a strange fellow. He blinked a bit to get rid of the daze and somehow I wanted to kiss him again but restrained my self.
"Up for some games?" Naruto slowly smiled and gestured toward the TV in living room.
"Depends upon what you have to offer." I asked smirking with my arms folded over my chest. Naruto quirked his eye brow before grinning in that ridiculously charming way and walked inside the living room area. I made my way there too and stared at the screen while he started the game.
"Call of duty: Black ops III. Impressive." I smirked and Naruto looked at me rolling his eyes.
"As always. Now get you butt over here so we can kill some people and get it out of our system." Naruto flopped down on the rug and patted the place beside him. I shook my head and flopped down too. While we started our game and bantered playfully and rather competitively I thought again. All of this was comfortable and homey. Somehow even after that heated argument and that 'talk' I somehow felt like my heart was light. It was like I could breath a bit easily. If Naruto had been involved with Sakura that might have turned out any other way but now that this was out of the way I felt like I could be my self with Naruto. Still Naruto was a close friend of Sakura so i wasn't going to trust him but if he was serious about 'us' than I will to try to do this.
TBC...
Next Chapter will be the long awaited date...!
