He wasn't sulking exactly as he went back to the bar. Kiba was able to come and get them as soon as they were ready. There was a drink waiting for him when he sat down.
"That was one hell of a quickie," Suigetsu said across the way.
Naruto wanted to make a joke, but when he glanced at Sasuke first, all he felt was guilt. Usually he'd convey his regret through touch or something. Like he'd hug or pat Sasuke's leg or kiss him? But that didn't feel like the right thing to do if Sasuke was genuinely mad at him, and Sasuke was doing that thing he sometimes did, where Naruto couldn't read his expression very well.
"You have your poker face on," he ended up mumbling as he picked up his drink. "Kiba can come and get us whenever you're ready."
Suigetsu was watching the both of them curiously. Sasuke inclined his head toward Naruto.
"Are you ready to go?" Sasuke asked him.
Naruto shifted uncomfortably. "I dunno. Are you?"
"I certainly don't think you need any more to drink."
"Oh. Guess I should make this my last one, eh?" He put his left hand on top of the bar and drummed his fingers. Sasuke, though he'd turned to Suigetsu, put his hand on top of Naruto's.
"Suigetsu, are you going to need a ride home?" asked Sasuke.
"Naah." Suigetsu waved his hand dismissively. "I'm gonna walk. It's like three blocks away. You guys sure you don't wanna swing by and say hello to Haku? It'd be like old times, we can just sit around and drink and shoot the shit. Catch up on stuff."
Naruto bit his tongue. He very much did not want to spend any more time with Suigetsu than he had to. In fact, what he really wanted was to get Sasuke alone so that he could apologize.
"No," Sasuke said, answering for them. "I think we'll just head back to my place once Naruto's friend gets here."
The way he said it made Naruto chuckle.
Sasuke looked over. "What's so funny?"
"It's just that... you make it sound like we're gonna have a threesome." Naruto laughed louder into the side of his glass.
Sasuke raised an eyebrow.
"Sorry, sorry," said Naruto quietly. "I won't speak again until I sober up."
"That should be a while," commented Suigetsu, grinning.
"Don't worry," Sasuke said to Suigetsu, "He says stupid things even when he's not drinking, so it'd be a wonder if there's much improvement."
"Hey!" Naruto yelled, offended.
"Why don't you text Kiba and tell him to come pick us up," Sasuke told him. "We can walk Suigetsu out."
"Ah, sure." Naruto did just that, telling Kiba to come and get them right now and that, no, Ino was not allowed to come with him.
Naruto finished his drink and pulled his wallet out to pay only to have Sasuke tell him he'd already taken care of it.
"Let me leave a tip at least?" He left a ten dollar bill.
The three of them got up from their seats. Suigetsu and Sasuke walked ahead of him, Suigetsu's arm around Sasuke's shoulder as he laughed really loudly about something and prodded Sasuke in the chest. As they ventured outside, Naruto zipped his hoodie and shoved his hands into the pockets. It wasn't particularly cold. It was actually pretty nice out. Suigetsu said his goodbyes to Sasuke, but before he left, he pulled Naruto aside and slung an arm around his shoulders.
"Can I give you some advice?" he asked Naruto.
"I don't think I could stop you if I tried," said Naruto, sparing Sasuke a glance as he leaned against the hood of his car. He didn't seem to be paying them much attention.
"I think he really likes you, which is weird for me, so I guess what I'm sayin' is Sasuke's a pretty good guy, especially when it comes to the people he cares a lot about."
"Okay," Naruto shook his head, wanting to make he sure he'd heard all that right. "So, you're tellin' me not to hurt him, right? That's... not what I expected."
"I know, right? Well," Suigetsu withdrew his arm. "The situation is strange. But. If it's Sasuke, then he knows how to go about getting what he wants. If he didn't think this was gonna work, I doubt he'd have let you meet me." He scratched the side of his chin. "So, I think that maybe says a lot."
"You're surprisingly protective of him," said Naruto, smiling. "I'm glad he has friends like that."
"Of course." Suigetsu lifted his chin haughtily. "Who do you think I am? It was good to meet you, Naruto." He yanked Naruto into a bone-crushing hug. "Next time I see you, I'll go a little easier on ya."
"Thanks," he said, giving Suigetsu's back an awkward pat. "I appreciate that."
"Heh. Yeah. See ya around." He started walking away, his back to them. He gave a backward wave. "See ya later, Sasuke! I'll send Haku your regards."
Sasuke didn't bother to reply. Naruto watched Suigetsu walk out of the parking lot before he went over to the car and stood beside Sasuke. He got a text.
"Kiba says he's on his way."
"What did Suigetsu say to you just now?" Sasuke asked him as he hopped onto the hood. He gave it a pat with his hand, entreating Naruto to do the same. Naruto pulled himself up. They sat close together, their sides touching. Sasuke put a hand on Naruto's leg.
"He just said...you really liked me."
"Really." Sasuke sounded doubtful.
"Yeah, I was surprised."
"It's not his fault. He hasn't really seen me with someone like you before."
"Someone like me?" Naruto turned his head toward Sasuke.
"Yeah." Sasuke was staring up at the sky. "I'm sure you can imagine that I haven't had a lot of serious relationships. I could go into the details, but basically what it comes down to is that..." He looked over at Naruto. "I'm serious this time."
Naruto was glad the parking lot was relatively dark so that it hid the red from his cheeks. "How can you say that sorta stuff without getting embarrassed?"
Sasuke shrugged. "Because it's true. Last night, you know how worried I was about doing the wrong thing. About pushing you away."
"Yeah."
"You're a pretty honest person, Naruto. I want to be honest with you, too."
"You have been, I'd say. It's not as if what Suigetsu said should come as a big surprise or anything, but... I dunno if it's that I feel inadequate next to your experience or, like, I ... am so insecure that I'm really jealous of all these people I don't even know."
Sasuke reached into Naruto's pocket and took hold of his hand. He held on as he set their linked hands between them.
"So, I'm going to be meeting the infamous, Kiba," said Sasuke, flashing Naruto a smile.
"Nice change of subject. You are. I'd warn you, but you probably know what to expect. Heh."
"I'm not worried. Any friend of yours is likely to be a good person. Idiotic, but good."
"That sounds about right." Naruto nodded and bumped his shoulder against Sasuke's. "You were pretty sexy back there."
"Was I?"
"Mm. Yep. In the bathroom. I think you gave me a boner."
"Everything gives you a boner, Naruto."
"Take that back!" Naruto laughed, but suddenly stopped. He bit his lip as he gazed at Sasuke.
"What?"
Naruto looked away. "Er, it's nothing." He scratched the back of his neck.
Sasuke squeezed his hand. "Naruto."
As Naruto turned his head, Sasuke caught hold of his chin and kissed him, making Naruto instantly relax. Afterward, Naruto bowed his head, and Sasuke kissed him between the eyebrows.
"I'm on your side," Sasuke told him.
"Thank God," said Naruto with a laugh. "I can't imagine being your enemy, that's for sure."
Sasuke smirked. "No. I probably wouldn't go very easy on you."
"And I would be very confused as to why you didn't like me. I'd probably bug you as often as possible, chasing you around. 'Why Sasuke? Why don't you like me?'."
"That would probably get on my nerves."
Naruto chuckled. "It would get your attention though, right? What a morbid thing to think about though."
"You brought it up." He nudged Naruto's arm with his and pulled in a deep breath before saying, "Couples fight sometimes."
Naruto looked at him, his eyes lit with amusement. "Are we a couple?"
Sasuke gave his hand another squeeze. "Aren't we? I hope we are."
Naruto's lips parted. His heart did that typical fluttery thing that tended to happen every time Sasuke said stuff like that. He swallowed and licked his lips. "I think... we are."
"Yeah?"
Naruto nodded once, the corner of his mouth quirked as he lowered his head and let his hair fall across his eyes. Sasuke laughed at him and let go of his hand to ruffle Naruto's hair.
"Sorry about being a brat," Naruto said under his breath. "What can I say? I was... really jealous."
"I could tell. It's fine. I thought it was endearing. And hot. I really wanted to fuck you against the door. That's why I left."
Naruto couldn't hide his shock. "Really? I thought you left 'cause you were pissed."
"I was that, but it was mostly because - "
"Because?"
"Suigetsu was irritating. When you weren't paying attention, he'd go on and on about you and what he'd do to you, and ask why I wasn't on you right now. But I didn't want to draw your attention to it since you already looked annoyed, so I let him rant."
"Ha, really? I wouldn't have guessed that. I thought you two were just catchin' up on stuff. I sort of felt like a third wheel, to be honest."
"That's too bad," said Sasuke as he played with Naruto's bangs and pushed them to the side. "He made me jealous, and seeing you jealous, well... and the way you kept drinking everything put in front of you. I could tell you were upset."
"Yeah. You tried. I was just being stupid." Naruto's smile was lop-sided. He felt ashamed and guilty again, but anything further he could've said in the way of an apology was disrupted as Kiba drove into the lot and parked beside the car. Naruto stood as Kiba came up to them.
"Hey," Kiba greeted, his hand in the air. "Someone call for a designated driver?"
"Ha, yeah. Hey." Like a reflex, Naruto dragged his friend into a hug. Kiba clung to him for a while and then pushed him away.
"You must be Sasuke," said Kiba.
Sasuke slid off the hood and took hold of Kiba's offered hand. "Kiba. It's good to finally meet you."
"I feel the same. It's good to know Naruto's still alive, though. Thought you'd kidnapped him since I hadn't heard from him for a whole 12 hours."
"Hn. Well, we've been busy, but had I known I could take advantage of a hostage situation, I would have held out for a ransom."
"Ha. You're funny!" Kiba slapped the side of Sasuke's arm. He turned to Naruto. "Just so you know, I wouldn't have paid."
"What?" Naruto squawked. "You wouldn't know what to do without me!"
"Yeah, yeah," said Kiba, his hands in the pocket of his jeans. He was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt and some jeans, so he was probably cold. "Where am I takin' ya to? Sasuke's place?"
Naruto's stomach grumbled. "Umm..."
"That doesn't sound good," said Kiba. "You guys haven't eaten?"
"Not since early this afternoon, I guess. You know what sounds so good?" He stepped aside Kiba and threw his arm about his shoulders.
"Let me guess. Bar and Wok?"
"Fuck yeah. Do you think you can swing by there before you drop us off? Hey Sasuke, you're hungry, right?"
Sasuke shrugged. "I could eat."
"Oh, and what am I?" Kiba smacked the back of Naruto's head. "Am I just the chauffer? You're 23 and need someone to come pick you up because you can't hold your liquor."
"He definitely has no problem holding it," said Sasuke. "What he has is a problem of not drinking it."
"Ha, yeah, well you can't be much better since you're not sober enough to drive either," said Kiba.
"Kiba!" Naruto shoved into his shoulder for being rude.
"Ow, what was that for? It's true, isn't it? How do you know he wasn't getting drunk so he could take advantage of you later?" Kiba shouted.
"Wait, what?" Naruto bent over laughing. "I don't even know where to begin with that."
"Oh God, don't tell me it doesn't matter because he's already... you know, you two... have already... uh...?" Kiba grabbed Naruto by the collar of his hooded sweatshirt. He glared at Sasuke. "Have you defiled my best friend already?"
"Jesus." Naruto flailed his arms. "Would you shut up already? You're embarrassing yourself!"
Kiba shoved him. "Eh, you two are pretty out of it. You won't remember tomorrow anyway. It's not like I wanna know what you did last night or anything. Even though you didn't text me til this afternoon to let me know you were okay and not at the bottom of Lake Michigan."
"I'm right here," said Sasuke. "In case you forgot."
"Oh, I know," Kiba said to him. "I see he's in one piece, so it's all cool. I'll take you to Bar and Wok, but we gotta get it for carry out because I promised Ino I'd be back in time to take her out to some stupid chick flick she wants to see."
"How sweet of you," said Naruto, grinning at his friend. "See," he said, turning to face Sasuke, "I told you the guy has become a total softy."
"Shut up and get in the car, Uzumaki, before I start telling Sasuke a lot of embarrassing stories about you."
"I'm surprised you didn't already come with a printed out memoir or something of our youthful exploits," Naruto said to him as he walked to the car, alongside Kiba.
Kiba laughed. "Was that even English?"
"Hm." Naruto scratched his chin. "I thought so?" He opened the door to the passenger side, but then decided he'd sit in the back seat with Sasuke.
"What are you doin'?" Kiba growled. "I'm gonna look like a dumbass sitting alone in the front."
Sasuke was opening the back door to get in. "You can sit up front, Naruto."
"He's fine." Naruto waved a hand. "I want to sit here with you, so shuddup." But as they both got into the back seat, Naruto suddenly remembered the games. "Ah, Sasuke. Do we wanna get those games in your car?"
Sasuke paused. "Sure. Do you mind Kiba?"
"Nope. We'll still be here."
Sasuke shut the door, leaving Naruto and Kiba alone. Kiba adjusted the mirror so that he could see Naruto in it.
"So what's goin' on, Naruto? I haven't seen you this wasted in a long time."
"What? Nothin' is goin' on. We just had a few drinks..."
"Uh huh," said Kiba.
"With his asshole friend." Naruto leaned forward between the two front seats. "He was a dick. All he did was talk about how many guys Sasuke had been with. Like, right in front of me, even knowin' the two of us were together."
"Wait, you're... together? Together-together?" Kiba asked. "And, so what? Are you a girl? So Sasuke's gotten a lot of action. What's the problem? Don't we high five each other every time we score?"
"That's different!" Naruto argued, shaking Kiba's shoulder. "You and I are friends, y'know. I don't get jealous over who you sleep with. Why would I?"
"Wait, so... you're jealous of who Sasuke's been with in the past, even though, you've been with a few people, too. And, on top of that, Sasuke's a guy. He likes... other guys? So, um, guys think about sex, what, every 3 and a half seconds? So you put two guys together and, probably, either one of them is thinking about sex at the same time or every other second. What do you expect?"
Naruto opened his mouth to retort and then closed it and then opened it again. "Shut the fuck up, Kiba! You're supposed to be on my side!"
Kiba turned around. "You're being a total idiot. Is that why you're drunk? 'Cause you were pissed off and jealous? You're such a douche bag. I don't know the guy that well, but, uh, even as a straight guy, I can tell you that he's pretty attractive. In fact, I have no idea what he sees in you, really. Now that I've seen him in person."
"What? Like you wouldn't be upset if you knew Ino had slept with, I dunno, an entire football team?"
"Not really, no. So long as it wasn't while we were dating. I'm gonna tell her you suggested that though. Heh."
"You twat," he told Kiba and pulled his ear. "What do you want me to do? I've never dated a guy, and there's really complicated shit that goes along with this. Like, when we were in the city, there was this clerk at a liquor store who treated us like crap because he saw us touching each other, y'know?"
"What? I touch you all the time and - "
That was the point of the conversation when Sasuke opened the car door, the Target bag in his hand. He looked inside at the both of them after hearing Kiba's last words.
"Did I come back at the wrong time?" He got inside and shut the door. "You were saying, Kiba. That you touch Naruto all the time?"
Kiba started the car. "It's not what it sounds like," he grumbled.
Pouting, Naruto crossed his arms and glared out the window. "It's nothing. Nevermind."
"Ignore him, Sasuke. It's his time of the month."
Sasuke smirked at him in the mirror. "I'm pretty sure it's not."
Kiba groaned. "Too much information."
"Kiba, you idiot. You're the one who said Sasuke was hot, and I should be lucky if he's even remotely interested in me!" Naruto shouted.
"Is that so?" asked Sasuke, clearly amused. "But as I recall, you said you thought Kiba was also a good looking guy."
"Really?" Kiba asked, surprised. "Was he drunk when he said this?"
"No," answered Sasuke. "This was before the bar. Wasn't it, Naruto?"
"Et tu, Sasuke?" Naruto shook his head at him. "Am I really being so unreasonable?"
"Yes," said Kiba.
"I don't even know what you two are talking about." Sasuke was looking at Naruto.
Naruto gave a sigh. "I dunno." He rubbed his face. "Ignore me. I'm really drunk. I don't know what I'm sayin'."
"Yeah. Ignore him. He's in one of his bratty moods. He gets really mellow when he drinks sometimes. He'll come out of it after we get some food in him."
"Sounds like this is coming from experience," said Sasuke.
"Yeah. I've seen him at his best and worst, if you know what I mean."
"I can imagine."
"Hey, I'm right here, y'know," Naruto said, having been listening to them.
"Yeah, and we don't care," said Kiba as he stopped at a red light. "We'll say whatever we want to you because you're too dense for things to get through your head half the time."
"Half may be being optimistic," added Sasuke, with a smirk.
"Hmph." Naruto glared, feeling ganged up on.
Sasuke leaned against him and ruffled his hair. "Don't be mad," he said quietly into his ear, and Naruto turned his head in reaction to it.
Naruto dabbed his tongue over his bottom lip. "What are you staring at?" he said, just as quietly.
"If you do that again, I will kiss you in front of your friend."
"Is that supposed to be a threat?"
"Okay, um, whatever is goin' on back there, can you two, like, wait til I get you back to Sasuke's before you start humping each other?" Kiba asked. He was watching them in the mirror, half of his face covered with his hand. "Not that I mind, but, you know, Naruto and PDA, it kinda makes me gag a bit."
"Yeah, because you're jealous!" Naruto yelled while putting a hand on the inside of Sasuke's thigh. "You know you wanna make out with me, too!"
"Like hell I do, you conceited blond dimwit! You do want me to take you to Bar and Wok, don't you?"
Naruto stuck out his bottom lip. "Yes, yes I do. I apologize."
"Now say it," said Kiba. "So Sasuke doesn't get the wrong idea. Tell him I don't want to make out with you."
Naruto turned to Sasuke. "I don't want to make out with you."
"No, you butthole. You know what I meant!"
"Fine! Sasuke, guess what?"
"What is it, Naruto?" He gazed down at Naruto's hand still on his thigh.
"Kiba does not want to make out with me. Do you understand?"
Sasuke nodded. "I think so. Thank you for clarifying." He smiled. Naruto smiled back and then burst out laughing. Sasuke chuckled under his breath and glanced out the window on his side, at least until Naruto's hand moved a little too close to his crotch. When their eyes met again, Naruto gave him a challenging look, daring him to say anything.
"Are you still fooling around back there?" Kiba asked. "What did I just say? I don't want more of your stains all over my back seat! I had to clean it up the last time!"
Naruto instantly removed his hand. "Jesus, Kiba! Would you get over that?"
"Do I want to know what he's talking about?" asked Sasuke, nudging Naruto's arm.
"No," replied Naruto.
"Yes," Kiba said, speaking at the same time. "Oh come on. If Sasuke's friend threw him under the bus tonight, then it's only fair Sasuke get to hear similar stories about you."
"Ah, I see. So that's what you two talked about while I was gone," muttered Sasuke.
Naruto threw his hands in the air. "I just said I was jealous! Can we get this out of the way already? I am a jealous, horrible person! I, Naruto Uzumaki, want you, Sasuke Uchiha, all to my goddam self, and I will punch out anyone who even puts a hand on you, okay?"
"That's well and good and everything," said Kiba, grinning madly. "But he still gets to hear some shit if that's what he wants. Like the time we went to Cancun and you hooked up with that chick who won the mud wrestling contest but didn't shower before you guys had sex, so when you went to put it in - "
"No," Naruto jumped forward and put his hand over Kiba's mouth. "Not that story." He gave Sasuke an apologetic look. "We were on spring break. I was like, 18? She was about the third girl I'd ever slept with, and we were both drunk as is obvious by the fact we did it even though she was still covered in mud." Naruto removed his hand.
"I'm just shittin' ya, Naruto," said Kiba. "But, you know, I'm on Sasuke's side with this one. We, as guys, have all done some stuff in our past we're not proud of, or, are really proud of, so y'know. Just keepin' it real."
Naruto huffed and fell against the seat. "I know. It's weird, though. Reconciling in my head that he's a guy, and he's," he glanced at Sasuke, who was looking right back at him, "You're my..."
"Boyfriend?" Sasuke supplied.
"Er, yeah," his eyes flicked to Kiba's in the mirror. "You're my, blah, do I have to say boyfriend? Can I say significant other. Boyfriend sounds so..."
"Gay?" offered Kiba.
"Heh. Very funny." He gave Kiba's head a hard smack.
"I'm sure Sasuke hates to break it to you. But he's gay. He likes men. Am I right, Sasuke?"
"Your account of the situation sounds correct so far."
"See, Naruto. Deal with it, you idiot. Be his boyfriend and be out and proud. Besides, he seems way cooler than the last chick you dated. Plus it helps that you're the same age. At least, I assume so."
"We are," mumbled Naruto. "And thanks for bringing up her."
"Has he told you about the ex yet?" asked Kiba.
"Only bits and pieces," answered Sasuke.
"Well, I will leave that one for Naruto to tell because I don't even understand it. They were on and off again so much, I never knew when they were together."
"Thanks for that," Naruto said tetchily. He felt Sasuke grab for his hand.
They were only a block away from Bar and Wok.
"So, are you having the usual?" asked Kiba.
"Yep, make sure it's with the udon noodles and not the vermicelli ones - "
"I know, I know. How many times have we come here together?"
"Millions," said Naruto. "Sasuke what do you want? I hope you like Asian noodles and soups and all that stuff. Is that okay?"
"That's fine. I'll have whatever you're having."
"Good choice. You'll love it. You're okay with pork and duck, right?"
"Sounds good." He patted Naruto's knee.
They pulled into the lot and parked. Kiba got out to order for them, waving away Sasuke's offer to pay for everything and Naruto's offer to go with him. As Kiba shut the door, Naruto turned to Sasuke.
"Hey," he said.
"He knows you pretty well, doesn't he?" Sasuke picked something fuzzy off the sleeve of Naruto's hoodie. "You look good in my clothes, by the way."
"I'd look better out of them?" Naruto grinned.
"That's very true."
"What do you think of him so far?" Naruto asked.
"I like him. He seems like a good guy."
"He is."
"Are you gonna tell me about Cancun?"
Naruto shook his head decisively. "Nope."
Sasuke leaned closer. "You can't keep it from me forever. I think I can pretty much imagine how it went."
"I don't want you to imagine it," Naruto said, voice hushed and serious.
Sasuke took hold of the side of his face and kissed him. Naruto could taste the alcohol on his breath. He put his hand on the back of Sasuke's neck and let it move up, into his hair. Sasuke's hand roved over his thigh. Naruto moved his legs further apart, and Sasuke's hand brushed lower against the inside of his thigh, rubbing it while they continued to kiss.
Kiba opening the driver's side door broke them apart as Naruto put a hand to Sasuke's chest and, gently, pushed him off.
"I'm gonna pretend I didn't see any of that," said Kiba. "It's gonna be about 10 minutes."
Naruto pressed his teeth into his bottom lip. He'd kept his hand on top of Sasuke's, on his thigh. Sasuke got the hint and left it there.
"So, Sasuke. Can I ask you some personal questions?" asked Kiba, turning around in the seat to face them, but pointedly ignoring Sasuke's hand in Naruto's lap.
"Well, you are buying me dinner, Kiba, so I don't see why not." Sasuke smirked at him.
"What is it you... like about Naruto? I mean... why are you attracted to him at all? Isn't this a lot of trouble for you to date a straight guy, especially one as idiotic and naive as him? I mean what he knows of being gay, he probably learned from TV."
"Yes, he did reference Sex and the City the first night we hung out."
"Well, excuse me," said Naruto.
"Shut up, I wanna talk to Sasuke."
Naruto stuck his tongue out. "Fine."
Sasuke hummed. "It has to do with my first impression of him. When we met, Starbuck's was busy and overcrowded. I needed to get on my laptop because the power had gone out, and Naruto offered to share his table with me even though I probably looked like I wanted to kill people. I'd just moved to town not long ago, and I was in a pretty bad mood, but Naruto was genuinely nice. Maybe the first person I'd met who was that sincere in a long, long time, which is why I stayed even through his inane chatter."
Naruto made a face at that, but kept silent. Sasuke gave his thigh a squeeze of reassurance that he was, more or less, kidding.
"But. I mean, did you tell him you were gay or whatever? Like, how did it go from coffee to dating?" Kiba asked. He put his hand on the top of the seat and rested his chin on it.
"I think Naruto said something about hanging out, and he was waffling, so I said 'just give me your number'." He looked at Naruto for clarification.
Naruto nodded. "Something like that. I thought you were cool, and you said you were new in town. I wanted to hang out again, but, thinking you were straight, I didn't wanna give you the wrong idea, so jokingly, I said something, and you were like - by the way, I'm gay."
"Gotta appreciate the guy's honesty," said Kiba.
"Yeah. And then we went to dinner," continued Naruto. "And...I dunno. We talked and the hours passed, and when we went back to his house, everything he said was... so funny and smart... and I was like, okay, this could be the coolest person I've ever met. Hm." Naruto scratched the back of his head. "I was sort of attracted to him, I think. And when we shared the bed, uh..."
"We can skip the details," said Kiba. "I think I get the picture. I was only curious. Like, I'd never ever seen you show interest in guys, so, for Sasuke to make you interested in him, well... I think I get it. He complements you pretty well somehow. And," he coughed, "Naruto, you seem really happy... and calm. And I don't think it's just the alcohol."
Naruto wibbled a little as he stared at his best friend. "Kiba!"
He grabbed him by the arm and yanked him into the back seat, Kiba flailing his arms as he fell on top of them. Sasuke let out an 'oof' at having Kiba's weight on his lap. Kiba lay across their legs as Naruto cradled his head and planted a huge kiss to his forehead.
"Stop it!" Kiba cried, squirming.
"No, I won't," said Naruto happily as he tried to pick him up and hug him. "Sometimes you say good things."
"I hope this isn't some sort of fantasy of yours," Kiba said, going still in Naruto's arms. "I love you, Naruto, but I'm not gonna have a threesome."
"What? Who asked for that?" Naruto pulled a face like he was going to be ill.
"I don't know whether or not I should be offended or pleased you're disgusted with the thought of sex with some other guy," Sasuke said to him as he settled his arms on top of Kiba's legs.
"It'd be like fucking a brother is all I have to say about that," said Naruto. "Like, would you fuck Itachi?"
"Ah, is Itachi your brother?" asked Kiba.
"I cannot believe you just asked that." Sasuke grabbed hold of Naruto's hair and dragged him over.
"Ow!" cried Naruto. Sasuke planted a kiss to his cheek and jaw, effectively shutting him up.
"Eww!" Kiba crawled out of their laps and into his seat. "I said no threesome! None!"
"Like I'd share Sasuke with you," said Naruto. "Isn't it time you go get the food."
"Probably." He clumsily got out of the car and slammed the door shut.
"Hn. You're really trying to traumatize him, aren't you?" Sasuke turned, pushing Naruto to the side and against the door so that he could sneak a hand under Naruto's shirt and touch his stomach.
Naruto let his head fall back against the window as Sasuke unzipped the hoodie and tugged up his shirt. He bent over Naruto, kissing his stomach and chest. His tongue ran over a nipple. Naruto winced at the teasing bite and then moaned when Sasuke sucked on him. Sasuke lifted his head at the sound, smug. Naruto's lids had closed half way as he stared hazily into Sasuke's eyes. He reached for and played with Sasuke's bangs, fingering them back and forth.
"Thinking anything in particular?" Naruto asked.
"Yes."
"You don't want to tell me?"
"I think you can guess," Sasuke said, pulling Naruto's shirt down in case Kiba popped back in at any moment.
"Hm. Maybe we can talk about it back at your place."
"Yes. Talk. That's what I want to do."
Naruto chuckled, leaned over, and traced Sasuke's lips slowly with his tongue. He sighed against Sasuke's mouth. "You're hot."
"You think so?" Sasuke asked, his voice husky and seductive.
"Yeah, I really do."
The car door opened. Kiba sat down heavily in the seat, showing off the paper bags as he set them on the passenger's seat. "Alright. That's two mixed meat udon noodle soups with chopsticks and all that. Satisfied?"
Naruto beamed. "Very."
Kiba squinted suspiciously. "Why does it look like something really good just happened to you?"
Naruto shrugged. "It's just being in the presence of your company."
Kiba glanced at Sasuke, but Sasuke's lips were sealed on the matter. He started the car and Sasuke gave him directions to his apartment, although Kiba already knew where they were once he heard the name of the complex. Kiba and Sasuke maintained a casual conversation for a while as Naruto stared out the window, his stomach grumbling again. He rubbed his hand over it and noticed he still felt pretty buzzed. The Red Bull had kicked his thoughts into overdrive, so it was nice just to listen to the two of them talk back and forth so easily. Naruto hadn't realized how important it was to him that his best friend and his - his thoughts came to a halt as his mind attempted to articulate the word without balking or snickering - boyfriend. He looked at Sasuke and thought my boyfriend. Weird. It was semantics and all that, but that's how it was. He had a boyfriend, and the weight of what that meant continued to keep him fairly silent throughout the ride, even if it wasn't the only thing on his mind.
Kiba pointed it out once, but Naruto dismissed it and said the car seemed to be spinning so he just wanted to rest his eyes. He had his hand on the seat, close to the middle, the side of Sasuke's hand only barely brushing his. As they entered into the parking lot, the snow had all melted away from the cars. It had been a sunny and warm day out considering it had snowed last night.
While they were parking, he suddenly asked, "It rains a lot in Seattle, doesn't it?"
"It does rain a fair amount, yeah." Sasuke looked at him curiously. "Why do you ask?"
"Just wondering."
"Is that where you're from?" Kiba asked, turning around to face the both of them.
Sasuke answered with an affirmative, but Naruto noticed that he and Kiba shared some sort of silent communication between them. Naruto made an attempt to snap out of it. He put on a big grin that felt incredibly forced. They both probably knew it, too.
"So," Kiba said, clearing the air. "I'll actually get to see you around tomorrow, right? Or is this like a honeymoon, and you'll be staying here for the next week."
"Honeymoon, huh?" Naruto touched a finger to his chin. "It does feel a little like that, I suppose."
Sasuke leaned over him and unsnapped his seat belt, saying in a very low tone of voice, "Does that mean we're going to consummate our new-found union?"
"Heh." Naruto felt himself loosen up and relax again at Sasuke's closeness as well as the familiar scent of him he'd become extremely accustomed to.
Kiba cleared his throat. "Well, I'll leave you two to it then." He cocked his head. "I feel like I'm a father passing off his daughter to another man. I hope you aren't expecting a dowry, Sasuke, because I'm broke."
"Why wouldn't I be the son?" Naruto muttered as Kiba passed the brown paper bag with their food over to him. "I don't look like a girl, do I?"
"Well, yeah, but I wouldn't feel as overprotective of a son, would I?" Kiba scratched the upper part of his cheek and raked his hand through his hair, ruffling it in the back.
"You worry too much," Naruto said to him, but he did so with an earnest smile. "Sasuke's been takin' care of me. He's very doting."
"Well, if he was then he should've had you wear a jacket. It's gonna get colder tonight."
"So we'll go inside where it's warm. Thanks for picking us up and thank you for the food."
Kiba nodded and looked away as if Naruto's gratitude embarrassed him. "You don't need a ride tomorrow to get Sasuke's car, do you?"
"Nope. My truck's still here and all that. But yeah, I'll probably head to Dad's sometime tomorrow, yeah?"
"Alright." Kiba turned his attention to Sasuke. "Just remember that if you hurt him, I'll come for your balls and not in a good way. I'll leave that to Naruto."
Naruto rolled his eyes and opened the door, the bag making a loud crumpling as he folded the top of it. Kiba was right. There was a sting of chill in the air that had Naruto zipping up the hoodie all the way to the collar. He closed the door, expecting Sasuke to get out right away, but it appeared Kiba and Sasuke had a few more things to say to each other. A minute later, Sasuke was out of the car, sticking his hands into his jean pockets. Naruto raised a questioning eyebrow, but didn't ask what that was about.
Once they approached the stairs, both walking side by side in comfortable silence, Sasuke grabbed for his hand. They went up the stairs together. Naruto contemplated how the simple touch put a million of his worries at ease, though, where all these worries were coming from, he had no idea. Suigetsu had apologized, hadn't he? And in the end, Naruto knew Kiba was right, as well. Sasuke's past was none of his business, and now at least it was all out of the way. Sasuke admitted they hadn't been serious relationships - not that that should matter either, so what was it still bugging him? Was it all just about jealousy?
He shook his head. He'd need to eat first, sober up a bit more before he could pinpoint it. Until then, he refused to be a downer. So, as they stood in front of Sasuke's door and he was about to put in the key, Naruto grabbed for his arm and turned him around, the Target bag he held knocking into Naruto's leg. He pressed Sasuke against the door and leaned into him. For a moment, he buried his face in the crook of Sasuke's neck and inhaled his scent - the body wash, shampoo, even the subtle fragrance of sweat that lingered on his skin from the batting cage. It caused him to recall the shower they'd taken together this afternoon.
"After we eat, wanna take a bath," he raised his head a little, but kept it bowed, their cheeks touching as he spoke into Sasuke's ear. "...With me?"
Sasuke put his free arm around him and placed his hand in the center of Naruto's back, rubbing it in circles. "Sure. Anything you want to talk about?"
Naruto shook his head. "Nah. Just wanted to be close to you for a second."
"Okay." Sasuke continued rubbing his back. Naruto started to kiss his neck, feeling a burst of affection, gratitude and something that felt like a mix of loyalty and possessiveness. Ownership? Sasuke was his, but Sasuke was here for him. Like an equal. A partner. It settled into Naruto, like a warming sensation that came from the inside of him. It bubbled over, and he was unable to verbalize it. All he could do was place kisses almost reverently to wherever he could find skin. Sasuke's hand on his back felt like an anchor, keeping him from floating away as he lost himself to the feeling. Sasuke's presence kept him grounded. He was extremely patient. He didn't ask any questions. He just seemed to get it.
Eventually Naruto drew away. Sasuke gazed at him, pensive, and used his thumb to wipe at the corner of Naruto's eye, where there must've been a tear. He reached for the back of Naruto's neck and pulled him in, giving him a firm kiss to his forehead as Naruto's fingers clung to the front of his sweater.
"Let's get you inside," he said.
Naruto nodded. Sasuke opened the door for them, flipped on the light, and took the bag from Naruto's hand while still carrying the other bag with their games. Right away, Ollie came running like he was part of a 100 meter dash to greet them with a few quick meows. Sasuke carted everything into the kitchen. Naruto knelt down on the carpet as Ollie flopped onto his side and rolled, waiting for his belly to be scratched.
"We're home," he said quietly and smiled as the cat purred affectionately and wrapped his forepaws around Naruto's wrist like he didn't want him to go anywhere.
They ate in the kitchen, at the island, similarly to this afternoon when they had eaten waffles. Naruto only finished half of his soup, which was unusual. They talked, but it was mostly about the games they'd bought - what they'd heard of them, when they were going to play, and then comparing their favorite games of all time, though both of them had much to say on the topic of Mass Effect 2 as well as all the games that made them nostalgic: Halo, Grand Theft Auto, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, so on. That led to the pick of the old systems. The Gamecube was where Naruto had learned about Goldeneye and Kart, which he played a shit-ton of in junior high and high school. Briefly, they had a debate about Super Nintendo and Sega. NES was a tad fuzzy for both of them, but Sasuke recalled memories of watching Itachi play with his group of friends. Naruto had bought some of the old stuff on his Dad's Wii - all the original Marios, Megaman II, Castlevania, Rampage, Paperboy, Zelda. It was great for playing when he and Kiba sat around drinking with not much else to do and they'd already marathoned a few days worth of CoD.
When they were done, Sasuke put their leftovers in the fridge. Naruto promised he'd probably get to it later tonight when he had the munchies.
"Are you planning on getting high?" Sasuke asked as he ran a rag over the island counter.
Naruto was standing next to him. "Why, do you have anything?"
"Who am I, your dealer?"
"Fine, maybe not tonight, but some other time. I wanna see what you're like."
Sasuke finished cleaning and threw the rag into the sink. He put his hands on the counter. "Why? So you can take advantage of me?"
"Are you the paranoid type? Or do you go around the house cleaning up everything, or is that for the occasions when you dance around in your underwear to Kelly Clarkson?"
Sasuke kissed him on the mouth. "You'll have to wait and see. But yeah, I have stuff. Maybe later this week. But, speaking of relaxing."
"Yeah?" Sasuke held out his arms, and Naruto went willingly into them. Sasuke hugged him, and Naruto rested his chin on Sasuke's shoulder until their breathing seemed to sync.
"Still want to take a bath?" Sasuke asked.
"Ah, yeah. If you don't mind." His fingers found their way under the bottom of Sasuke's sweater.
Sasuke shivered. "Your fingers are cold."
"Are they?" Naruto's words were muffled as he removed his hands.
Ollie was near their feet, eating his own dinner. He barely paid them any attention as Sasuke grabbed hold of Naruto's wrist and led him out of the kitchen, shutting the light off on the way out. They went into Sasuke's room. Naruto took a seat on the bed, watching Sasuke as he dug a pair of boxers out for Naruto and threw them over.
"What? No jock strap? I thought for sure you wanted me to model them."
Sasuke glanced over his shoulder. "I didn't think you were serious."
Naruto smirked, waving the boxers in front of him. "I woulda done. I know my ass is hot. See," he put the underwear aside and crawled onto the bed, on his hands and knees, wiggling his backside, "I could've posed for you like this maybe?"
Sasuke shut the drawer and went to the foot of the bed. He got on top of it, behind Naruto. He ran his hands over Naruto's back and seized his hips. With a harsh jerk, he pulled Naruto backward, thumbs brushing across his skin where the shirt had ridden up at the sides.
"Such a fucking tease," Sasuke said and folded himself on top of Naruto's back, reaching around to stroke his right thigh.
"Is this how you see it in your head?" Naruto asked teasingly. "Me on all fours?"
"I see you in a lot of positions. I'd like it better if I could see your face though. We may have to invest in a mirror."
"Ha." Naruto bowed his back, and Sasuke grabbed him by the hood of his sweatshirt, pulling him flush to his chest.
Putting his chin on Naruto's shoulder, he hugged him from behind. "C'mon. I'll draw you a bath," he said to Naruto. "Do you require candles? Do I need to sprinkle petals on the water before you'll get in?"
"Candles would be a good idea should your power decide to go out again."
"For what I pay in rent, I'm sure the landlord has resolved that issue." He got off the bed and went into the bathroom, leaving the door open.
Naruto glanced around the room and sighed, happy to have another night here before he should probably... go home? It's not as if they were living together, but it sure as hell felt as if they'd been playing house for the last couple of days. Everything always fit and felt so good when it was just the two of them, but he supposed they couldn't always spend their time in Sasuke's apartment. He heard the faucet for the tub turn on, and he started taking off his clothes - the hoodie and shirt first. But as he started to undo his pants, he went into the bathroom, where Sasuke was testing out the temperature of the water. The toilet was beside the tub, so he went to sit on top of it, his legs spread apart and hands between them on the lid as he leaned over.
Sasuke looked up from the water and ran his eyes down Naruto's chest and stomach and up again. "I think you forgot something."
Naruto stood. "I needed your help?"
Sasuke stood, too. He kept eye contact as he undid the belt, button, and unzipped the fly. He curled his fingers under the belt loops, and as he dragged them down Naruto's hips, Sasuke went with them until he was facing Naruto's crotch. Naruto put his hand on top of Sasuke's head as they looked at one another - Sasuke with a smirk and Naruto's eyes twinkling in challenge.
"We can't all go commando like you do," said Naruto.
"That's a shame." Sasuke's breath was warm against the front of the boxer briefs he'd let Naruto borrow. "You look good in my underwear."
"Does it turn you on?"
Sasuke's face inched nearer. "It does." He snuck his fingers under the waistband and tugged, pulling them down. Naruto stepped out of them and they were cast aside as Sasuke rose to face him.
Naruto moved closer, the front half of his naked body pressed to Sasuke's. Somehow, it seemed, Sasuke might've had a slight height advantage over him by about a half inch. He looked Naruto in the eyes before running his hands down Naruto's chest and then used his thumb to trace the defined stomach muscles. Sasuke moved his hand to Naruto's side, to his hip, and across the indentation of muscle at the lower part of his stomach. Naruto worked out fairly frequently. He couldn't say he wasn't proud of his body, and he could tell Sasuke didn't much mind the way he looked either.
"Yes?" Naruto asked, raising an eyebrow. "You have something to say?"
Sasuke's head tilted to the side. "You know you're hot."
"I do?" Naruto grinned.
Sasuke's hand traced across his stomach to the other side, right above the line of blond pubic hair. "You know you're sexy. How sexy I find you." His hand went lower, fingers wrapped around Naruto and gently caressed him. A thumb brushed over the tip of the head as Sasuke held him in his hand and leaned into Naruto, whispering into his ear. "How much I want to fuck you." He licked the shell of Naruto's ear as he slowly pumped him.
"Really?" asked Naruto, voice gravelly and rough. "You're not thinking about what you have there in your hand being inside you, hm? You're makin' me hard. If you really push me over the edge, I won't give you much of a choice in the matter."
Sasuke moved back to look at him, letting go of Naruto's cock. "Is that a promise?"
"Why?" Naruto smirked. "Did it sound like a threat?"
"That could be sexy, too," Sasuke said, lifting his sweater over his head. Naruto helped him with the shirt underneath that, placing a few kisses on his chest as he undid the belt for him.
"What a surprise. Do you ever wear underwear?" Naruto shook his head in mock-dismay and put his arms around Sasuke's waist, bringing them together, acclimating to the feeling of Sasuke's cock against his.
"To work," Sasuke answered, placing an open, wet, and teasing kiss to the corner of Naruto's mouth. "Special occasions."
"Special occasions?" Naruto kissed back, keeping his mouth open as Sasuke's tongue slid inside and touched his. They kissed a while longer, until Sasuke put a hand to his chest and pushed him away so that he could turn off the water. Sasuke got in first on the one end, Naruto got in at the other, instantly sighing in pleasure at the warmth. Steam rose from its surface. He hadn't realized that his muscles were a bit achy from earlier.
Sasuke noticed. "Your shoulders sore?"
Naruto nodded, rubbing his left one. "Yeah."
"That's what you get for showing off." Sasuke shifted, causing the water to slap against the side of the tub. "Want the jets on?"
"Mm, yeah. That'd be nice."
As they turned on, the tub vibrated and a burst of bubbles shot out from either side and pulsed against his body. Naruto stretched out his legs, laying them over Sasuke's, his toes touching Sasuke's hips.
"Are you sure you don't want to tell me about Cancun?" asked Sasuke as he settled his arms on the tiled ledges. "I guess you're a lot dirtier than I realized."
"Ha. Are you still thinkin' about that?" Naruto nudged him with a foot, and Sasuke covered the toes with his hand, squeezing and massaging the top of his sole. "Oh God, that feels good. Please don't stop."
Sasuke quirked an eyebrow. "Pardon. Care to repeat that?"
Naruto chuckled. "You wish. Like I said, I was 18 and none of us had ever even gone out of the state practically, so we went a bit wild. It was a stupid contest at a bar."
"Was she pretty?"
"Yeah, she was pretty. I caught a glimpse of her before she got all muddy."
"Kiba knows a lot about you."
"Well, we have been best friends since I was young, but I'm sure I can come up with something not even he knows about me."
Sasuke grabbed Naruto's other foot and started to massage it. "That'd be nice. It's irrational, I know, but I felt slightly jealous of how long it would take me to get to know you as well as he does."
Naruto groaned as a thumb pressed the center and twisted. Fuck that felt so fantastic! "I could argue I felt the same way about Suigetsu, although he was full of all sorts of information I didn't really wanna know so early on. But at least it's out of the way?"
"I would've told you eventually if you'd asked."
Naruto shrugged. "It's not any of my business. Maybe I'm sorta conservative in that area?"
"Not so much anymore." Sasuke smirked and let Naruto's foot fall into the water with a splash.
"Nah. I mean, I don't consider being with you... different in any way. Like, it's different because you're a guy, sure. But now that I know I want this, it's like, you're my, er, other half?"
"You're so corny." Sasuke laughed at him and tossed over a washrag that smacked him in the chest.
"Well, my parents were together and really in love and all that, so there's something... stabilizing about being together with someone, and I'm pretty loyal if I do say so myself, so now that you have me, I hope you're sure I'm what you want 'cause I won't be goin' anywhere."
"You make yourself sound like a parasite."
"Hm. It may be on par with that, yeah." Absently, Naruto snatched the soap and suds'd up the rag, running it over his arms and chest. "What were your parents like?"
"Probably a lot like yours. They were really good people."
"Ah, they'd have to be since you're a good person yourself."
"Hn." Sasuke leaned forward and grabbed for one of Naruto's wrists, pulling him over so that Naruto sat upright between his legs, his own legs hanging over Sasuke's thighs. Naruto placed his arms loosely around Sasuke's neck, smiling as they shared a few kisses while Sasuke's palm moved back and forth along the inside of his thigh.
Naruto sighed as Sasuke wrapped an arm around him and pressed him close, against his chest, their groins touching. It sent a hot spark throughout his entire body. He adjusted his position and Sasuke sunk a little lower in the tub so that Naruto was more in his lap, leaning against his front, Naruto's cock pressed up to Sasuke's hard stomach.
"I'm on top," Naruto said in a joking whisper, watching as Sasuke explored his body with reverence - touching his chest and stomach, his back and his thighs - anywhere he had access to.
Sasuke looked at him as he spoke, "Are you curious at all?"
"About?" He slid Sasuke's wet bangs behind his ears.
"What it would feel like?"
"Aah…"
"Not so much?"
"I didn't say that... it's just something that never occurred to me."
"Hm." Sasuke took hold of him and began to stroke his cock. Naruto put his hands on Sasuke's shoulders for support, his eyes starting to close as he enjoyed the feeling of Sasuke's - almost casual - touch. Like he was already used to it and knew exactly how Naruto liked it. His eyes cracked open and a small gasp escaped his lips. Sasuke watched his hand at work - Naruto rocked into it, the bottom of his shaft rubbing against Sasuke's stomach.
"God, you are so good at this, Sasuke," he sighed.
"It's worth it to see you this way. It makes me imagine all kinds of things."
"Mm. Like?"
"Like," he sped up his strokes, "You actually riding me."
"It's not a bad thought..." Naruto said, clenching his teeth as he swallowed a really loud groan.
Sasuke spread his legs more, and Naruto's thighs were forced further apart. There was a hand on his lower back, near his side, the fingertips digging into his skin, the water lapping whenever Sasuke's fisted hand slapped against the surface.
"Naruto?"
"Hm?"
"Trust me?"
"Yeah," he licked his lips, "Of course..."
Sasuke slipped a fraction lower in the tub and squeezed one of Naruto's cheeks. "Can I...?"
Naruto had a difficult time keeping his eyes open. He had a nice friction going between rubbing against Sasuke's stomach and fucking his hand. "Can you...? What?"
But as he felt Sasuke's hand slide between his cheeks and trace the curve of his ass to the back of his balls, he had a pretty good idea of what Sasuke was asking.
"Just one," Sasuke said, "It won't hurt."
Naruto's brain was half muddled already. He put his arms around Sasuke's shoulders and embraced him tightly, nodding into Sasuke's neck.
Boneless and exhausted, Naruto flopped forward onto Sasuke and dragged him into the water, panting against his chest. He winced as the fingers slid out and heard Sasuke splash them into the water. Tiredly, Naruto chuckled, unable to find the strength to even lift himself, but Sasuke put his arms around him and rubbed his back soothingly.
Naruto didn't want to look at him because he had this feeling there would be a ridiculously smug expression there.
"A finger," he said, "Is not a cock, so I don't wanna hear I've been converted already."
Sasuke snorted and his voice came out raspy. "Did you think I was going to say something?"
"You and your damn bedroom voice. Why do you have to go and say stuff like that?"
"Like what? I was merely instructing you on what to do."
"Yeah, I bet."
"It worked didn't it?" Sasuke smirked as Naruto finally lifted his head to look at him. He brushed Naruto's hair out of the way. "You were surprisingly obedient. When I said ride it, you did just that."
Naruto glared. "Shut up."
"And did it feel good?"
"The extra stimulation was not altogether unpleasant."
"I should say so considering how much came out of you. Now it's all over the bath."
"Pssht." Naruto let out a shaky breath as he slid off of Sasuke's lap and returned to the other end of the tub. "Somehow I feel I just lost my virginity. Again."
Sasuke snickered. "I'm not sure if that counts, but I'm somehow flattered."
"I thought it would hurt more," Naruto mumbled without thinking.
"Well, I'm sure you'll note the difference in size between two of my fingers," Sasuke held them up how he'd used them with Naruto and then nodded at his own cock, which was...hard.
"Sasuke," said Naruto, eyeing the man's erection.
"Hm?"
Naruto got on his hands and knees and crawled toward him. "Sit up on the ledge, will ya?"
"Why?"
Naruto rolled his eyes. "Get your ass up there." He started pushing at him until Sasuke obeyed and took a seat on the ledge of the tub. Naruto didn't waste any time as he spread Sasuke's legs, took hold of his cock and put his lips around the head, licking and sucking until he was at an angle where he could get more of it into his mouth. He tried to push it all the way until he clearly felt it against the back of his throat. He felt dizzy, barely able to breathe as he sucked Sasuke off and felt the anxious fingers that tugged at his hair and pushed his head down into Sasuke's lap. There was no point in being polite about it anymore, he guessed. It was a quick and rough blowjob.
Sasuke groaned, uttering half-broken words and moans of approval. He tugged Naruto away by the hair as he started to climax, but Naruto took hold of him in his hand, licking the tip as Sasuke came, partly on Naruto's face and lips, while a few dribbles landed on his chest.
"Holy shit," Sasuke gasped out and dragged Naruto to him so that Naruto was forced to get on his knees. Sasuke hugged him, holding Naruto tightly as his body continued to shudder.
Naruto wiped the cum from his lips and laughed. "That was pretty quick, Sasuke."
"Shut up."
"You came on my face. Is that really less rude than coming in my mouth?"
Sasuke shook with laughter as he let him go. "Maybe so, but I thought I'd give you the option."
Naruto rested on the backs of his calves. "Eh, it is what it is. It's a rush just to make you come."
"Hmm."
"No?"
"Sorry, my mind was jumping to all sorts of things as you said that."
"Ha, I bet." Naruto grabbed for the rag and ran it over his face and chest and then used it on Sasuke, wrapping it gently about Sasuke's cock to clean him off. Sasuke shivered and held onto Naruto's shoulders. "Squeaky clean," he said, dropping the rag to the side and kneeling between Sasuke's legs.
After the tub, they both hopped into the shower just to rinse everything off properly. Sasuke found them some towels, which they wrapped around their waists, horsing around as the both of them brushed their teeth. Naruto sat on the counter, watching Sasuke moisturize himself or whatever it was that he was doing.
"What?" Sasuke asked when Naruto kept staring.
Naruto snickered, kicking his feet against the cabinets underneath. "Nothin'. I'm sure whatever you're doin' will keep you pretty for years to come."
"You bet your ass it will. You'll be thanking me. Here," Sasuke came over to him and slathered some cool, pearly-colored cream underneath his eyes. "It'll keep you from getting dark bags."
"Okay, so this isn't much different from having a girlfriend."
"Hn. I'm sure I can clear out at least one drawer for you somewhere. Maybe one of these tiny ones."
"Thanks, babe, you're so good to me."
Sasuke cocked his head to the side, grinning. "Did you just refer to me as 'babe'?"
"Yeah, as a joke," Naruto replied, dipping his finger into the small container of cream. "Why do they always make this stuff to look like it's something you could ejaculate?"
"It's the scientists' and cosmetologists' kinky sense of humor for when you rub it all over your face, I suppose."
Naruto shrugged. "Makes sense to me."
"You're cum-obsessed, Naruto."
"Maybe I'm not as straight as I thought, after all."
"That could be."
"Pajama time?" asked Naruto as Sasuke squeezed himself between Naruto's legs, both hands placed on the counter as he rose up on his toes to plant a kiss on Naruto's mouth.
"Mm. Yeah." Sasuke licked his lips. "I have to answer a few e-mails. Do you think you can entertain yourself for a half hour?"
"Ah, you're gonna ignore me on our date?"
"Are we still on a date? Now this is like you staying over for the weekend, but you're right, I can wait until tomorrow."
"Nah," Naruto put a hand on Sasuke's cheek. "I was just kiddin'. Do you want me to leave you alone, or should I go try out the new games by myself?"
"I don't mind you staying. It's not as if I can't talk and type at the same time."
"Yes. I have noticed you're able to multi-task, especially when it comes to your hands."
Sasuke nibbled at his chin. "I'm happy with the progress, I'll say that much."
"Uh huh."
"Come on, let's get you dressed. I'll be doing double the laundry this week thanks to you."
"But all your clothes smell like you," whined Naruto as he followed him into the bedroom. "I can just wear the towel?"
"I think I can spare something."
"You're so good to me, Sasuke. You always take such good care of me."
Sasuke sent him a glare over his shoulder as he rummaged through the drawers.
"What?" Naruto asked innocently. "I mean it."
"Shut up and find yourself something to do that doesn't involve bugging me."
"You ask the impossible," Naruto said, catching the clothes Sasuke threw to him. "But I will do my best!"
