With: much appreciation to sharingan.swirl for being my awesome beta.
The sun had finally set on the two boys kissing on the beach. As they slowly parted from the kiss, Naruto looked at the dark haired boy in front of him and felt an overwhelming exuberance that had been missing from his life for quite some time now.
"Sasuke," he breathed as he mentally etched this memory into his heart, "tell me this is real. PLEASE tell me this is real."
"Why wouldn't it be real?" Sasuke questioned giving Naruto that ever so assuring smile. Wanting to remind the blond exactly what had happened, Sasuke leaned towards the blond one more time and kissed his lips gently; a soft elegant kiss with only their lips making contact. The blond felt the warmth again and this time he knew it was real. "Believe me now?" Sasuke asked as he pulled away slowly.
With his eyes still halfway open, Naruto simply nodded his head in reply.
"How about we get back up to the party? I bet they're wondering where we are," said Sasuke, still looking at the blond boy who now openly held and accepted his affections.
"Yeah. We have been away for quite some time haven't we?" giggled the blond.
"Come on," Sasuke said as he stood up and held his hand out to the blond. Those blue eyes were finally looking at him in a way that Sasuke had yearned for ever since he saw the blond smile for the first time.
Naruto nodded his head and grabbed Sasuke's hand. He could feel the dark haired boy's strength as he was being pulled up, inch by inch closer to the other's body. There was a force behind it, yet there was a gentleness that was similar to how a mother held her child.
As Naruto got to his feet, he was surprised that Sasuke was still holding his hand. "Shall we?" Sasuke motioned as he looked up to the lights of the Hyuuga house.
Naruto was still looking at the hand holding his, and finally looked up into Sasuke's eyes as he squeezed his hand. "Hehe, yeah," smirked the blond. His heart was being reminded of the happiness it had shielded away for the past few years since he had lost his parents. There was something so fulfilling about it that would make his life feel almost inadequate for the past few years. He was starting to see that THIS feeling that he had at THIS moment in time was what made life important. The once cautious blond felt himself let go of all his fears and allowed himself to fall in love with the boy holding his hand.
As they made their way up the pathway, Naruto couldn't tear his eyes away from Sasuke. He felt a blush form on his face. "You know Sasuke, you're my first kiss."
Shocked at the blond's words, Sasuke asked with a raised brow, "What? Are you serious?"
Naruto felt his back stiffen defensively. "What do you mean? Was I not your first kiss?!"
Sasuke laughed and squeezed Naruto's hand. "Actually, yes you are, Naruto. I was just shocked because I figured such a handsome boy would have had quite a few chances to kiss someone."
Naruto felt himself redden even more, "Oh, no. I was never really interested in anyone. That and I guess I never really paid attention." Remembering the laugh Sasuke let out earlier, Naruto added with a frown, "May I ask what that smug chuckle was about?"
"Well you see, that little hissy fit you just had was jealousy. That's kind of what I felt earlier with you and that Neji guy," Sasuke grinned.
"Yeah, well, it's not a fun feeling. Plus he doesn't compare to you," the blond reassured. "Although he is quite attractive."
Sasuke's eyes twitched at the blond's comment and joined his hands with the blond's to give a harder squeeze.
"Ow! Ow! I was just kidding, Sasuke!" exclaimed the blond. "Geez!"
"I hope so," replied a grumpy Sasuke with his eyes turned down.
"It's true," the blond said as he kissed Sasuke on the cheek.
Gaara and Lee were looking down the path, trying to see where there two friends had gone off to.
"Where the hell are they?" posed an impatient Gaara. "It feels like years since they've been down there."
"Yeah tell me about it. This is getting soooooooooooo boring," yawned Lee.
"What are you guys doing?" asked a calm questioning voice behind them.
Gaara and Lee turned around almost instantly to see no other than the missing Hinata Hyuuga before them.
"Oh hey, Hinata, where have you been?" asked Lee.
"Well I've been at the door greeting all the guests coming in and I just now got finished," replied Hinata, still wondering why the two were looking down at the beach. "So will either of you answer my question?"
"Oh, hehe. Well, we're waiting for Naruto and Sasuke to return. They've been down there for awhile already," grinned Lee, keeping an eye on Hinata, whom he expected to faint.
Unexpectedly, Hinata actually gave them a smile, "Oh, I'm glad. I could see that Naruto was happy with Sasuke. It's about time," giggled Hinata, in an almost defeated matter.
Gaara's eyes widened as he saw Naruto and Sasuke walking up holding holds, "Speak of the devil."
As Lee and Hinata turned around, they saw the two looking at each other laughing, holding each other's hands.
The two boys let out a sigh of relief to see that the two had finally straightened things out, while Hinata was mentally taking a picture of her face over Sasuke's. "So not fair," she thought half smiling, half wincing.
Naruto turned to look at the group and gave them all a smile. He was especially excited to see Hinata, who had been missing the majority of the night. "Hinata!! Nice of you to FINALLY join us!"
The beautiful blue haired girl gave him a delicate smile. "At least he's excited to see me. That's good enough for me," she thought. "As long as he's happy, I will try to be happy as well."
"Yeah, sorry, I got caught up with everyone still arriving, but I don't think anyone else is coming," she answered.
Neither of the boys realized they were still holding hands while walking into the setting. In fact, it was only when Gaara coughed and looked at their hands that they noticed. Naruto knew that one of the things that bugged Gaara the most was public displays of affection. It's not that he hated it or anything; Gaara just thought it was inappropriate in certain settings.
"Oh, sorry about that! Sasuke wouldn't let go of my arm," Naruto giggled at the thought of Sasuke's upcoming reaction.
"Actually, I had to keep holding his hand, otherwise that Neji character would come up to him again," replied a collected Sasuke.
"Neji," Hinata could feel her blood boil. She was about to explode because her cousin went against her wishes at HER party. "Naruto," she looked at the blond, "did Neji go up to you?"
Confused at the anger he heard in Hinata's voice, Naruto nodded in reply.
"That little…" Hinata started, "I'm going to… ugh! Sakura! Ino! Come on, we've got something to take care of."
With eyes wide in astonishment, Sakura and Ino followed Hinata in search for her cousin Neji.
"Uh oh," thought Naruto. With his eyes trailing after Hinata, he looked at Sasuke and said, "I hope I didn't get Neji in trouble."
Sasuke smirked, "Eh, what can you do?"
The night went on spectacularly, especially for Sasuke who delighted in seeing Neji run away from an extremely pissed off Hinata, who had her posse with her. Finally cornering him, Hinata forced Neji to apologize to Naruto for being so inappropriate earlier.
Sasuke looked back on what happened that night. First, he was able to finally sort out his feelings for the blond, who was now beside him. Second, he found out that his feelings were reciprocated. Third, the bastard who tried to take his blond ended the night looking like a chicken running around with its head chopped off. It was truly a good night, a good night indeed. Sasuke felt like he now had something worth protecting in life. He wasn't going to let happiness escape him again. He looked at the blond who was chatting with Lee and in that one instance saw exactly why he fell for the boy. Naruto was so lively, beautiful, and compassionate towards others. There was something about him that always made people feel like they could trust him. Sasuke had to admit, he felt lucky to have the blond boy fall for him.
It was now nearing the end of the night and everybody started to make their way towards their cars outside. Hinata, always the gracious host, was standing by the door making sure she said her farewells to all her guests.
"Naruto, Sasuke. Thank you for coming tonight. I hope you enjoyed yourselves, despite my cousin's actions. For that, I apologize."
"Hinata, it was a great party. Thank you for having us," said Sasuke, bowing to the blue haired girl.
"YEAH! It was a lot of fun! And don't worry about apologizing for your cousin," said the cheerful blond as he gave Hinata a tight hug.
She couldn't help blushing every time Naruto gave her a hug. Regardless that he was now with Sasuke, the way the blond's body felt against hers always made the blood rush to her skin.
As the two boys left, Hinata heard a voice coming from the stairs beside her. "I see it now."
"Who's there?" asked Hinata. Turning her head, she saw her cousin sitting there looking at her.
"You like him, don't you? No wonder you didn't want me to talk to him," he smirked as he got up and walked down towards his cousin. "I guess I'll be leaving, too, then."
"Yes, I believe you should." She gritted at the next part, "Thank you for coming."
"And thanks for having me," he scowled as he walked past Hinata.
"And Neji."
The boy stopped in his tracks yet refused to look at his cousin. "Yes."
"Leave Naruto and Sasuke alone."
"Hmph." And with that the lavender eyed boy whipped his head around and walked out of Hinata's house.
Once Sasuke and Naruto made in back into the car, Naruto turned to Sasuke and muttered, "Do you want to stay the night, Sasuke?"
Sasuke, who didn't quite hear his blond's question, looked at him, "What did you say, Naruto?"
The blond gave out a sigh and with more confidence asked, "I said, do you want to stay the night, Sasuke?"
Sasuke blinked and looked at the blond who was now looking down and playing with the bottom hem of his shirt.
"Yes, I would love to," smiled Sasuke as he reached out to hold Naruto hand while they drove back to the Uzumaki household.
It was already two in the morning as they reached Naruto's house. They entered the house cautiously, not wanting to wake Iruka up. After Naruto closed the door, he locked it carefully and led Sasuke back to his room.
"I feel like a ninja," laughed Naruto as he locked his bedroom door.
Sasuke laughed recalling how they were tip-toeing through the house just a few minutes prior. The raven haired boy made his way to Naruto's bed and sat down. He was watching his blond undress to a pair of black boxer briefs, that which hugged his silhouette. The blue eyed boy looked in his dresser trying to find something to sleep in. Sasuke thought back to the time where he watched Naruto in the shower room, and blushed. He decided he would tell Naruto about that later on.
"Aha!" exclaimed the blond as he pulled out some black basketball shorts and put them on.
"Ahem," coughed Sasuke. "Hey, what about me?"
Naruto scratched his head and laughed. "Oh yeah! Hehe. Here you go," said the blond as he threw Sasuke a pair of dark red shorts.
"How about a t-shirt?" asked Sasuke.
"What? Are you self conscious or something?" Naruto giggled.
"No, it's just that I get cold at night," groaned the dark eyed boy.
Naruto loved the way Sasuke's eyebrows furrowed when he was grumpy. Reaching back into the dresser he pulled a white v-neck shirt and threw it at Sasuke. "There you go."
"Thanks. Are you not going to wear a shirt?" Sasuke asked as he fidgeted.
"I get warm at night, so I usually opt to sleep in just shorts," reassured the blond.
"Oh, okay," replied Sasuke as he began to undress and change into the clothes the blond gave him. Before he was able to change into his shirt, he felt an ardent body embracing him from behind. As he looked down, he saw Naruto's fingers intertwine and hold him tightly.
"I've wanted to hold you like this for some time now, Sasuke," whispered the blond, his lips merely an inch away from Sasuke's ear. The blond could feel Sasuke's body tighten in anticipation.
Sasuke placed his hands over Naruto's, and replied, "And I've wanted to feel your skin on mine."
Naruto started kissing Sasuke's warm neck, tasting a hint of vanilla with every inch his mouth explored. He could feel Sasuke's once tight body relax under his touch as he licked a small cool trail along the dark eyed boy's neck down to his collar bone. Blowing softly on it, he could hear the baritone vibrations coming from Sasuke's throat. Once Sasuke's skin cooled, Naruto bit lightly at the skin, infusing it with heat once again. He could feel the veins pump faster and faster in Sasuke's neck, in coordination with his heart, as the blond ran his tongue over the alabaster skin.
With his eyes closed, Sasuke breathed, "What are you doing to me, Naruto?"
Naruto drew back at the question, realizing that he had lost control. "I—I'm sorry, Sasuke."
Sasuke turned around and held the blond who was looking very apologetic, "It's not a bad thing, Naruto. Sometimes I can't control myself around you, either." The dark eyed boy brought Naruto's face up to his, "You didn't have to apologize. I liked it."
With that, Sasuke ended the statement with a passionate kiss.
Naruto closed his eyes and gave himself completely to Sasuke's kiss.
