The rest of the squad gets there and they're all chatting amongst themselves, a peaceful atmosphere takes up the whole room. It makes Sasuke smile internally when Suigetsu messes up Naruto's hair when Naruto makes a snide comment about Suigetsu's obsession with water. Sasuke is about to comment on Naruto's messy, but erotic hair when Kiba barges in after about being 20 minutes absent with Shikamaru towing behind him.

Naruto and Sasuke don't make any comments to the way Kiba is blushing or how Shikamaru looks really amused. "Hey everyone! Let's play a game!" Kiba cheers, his hand coming up to show the two vodka bottles. A few people cheer upon sighting the alcohol while others choose to stay silent.

Looking over at his blonde, Sasuke immediately notices Naruto's discomfort at the prospect of drinking. Has he not had alcohol before? Sasuke frowns slightly at the thought, a sudden protectiveness consuming him.

"What stupid game do you have for us this time?" Ino chuckles with Sakura joining in with her.

"They're not stupid! I thought we could play a game of lap tag!" Kiba exclaims, a goofy grin settling on his lips. Sasuke cringes a little at the name. That couldn't mean anything good.

"Heh, that sounds interesting!" Suigetsu purrs, his own toothy grin showing.

"Yep! Anyway, so everyone will be put into pairs. Then, one will sit in front of the other while the person in the back loosely puts their arms around their waist. One person will stand in the middle and signal when it's time to start. The person in the back has to do everything in their power to stop the person in front from tagging the person in the middle. The person who gets to the center first is the winner of the round!" Kiba cheers, a happy energy expounding from every pore on his body.

Sasuke couldn't help realize that Kiba probably only picked this game to get down and dirty with Shikamaru. What a crude guy, Sasuke smirks to himself. Glancing over to his blonde angel, something stirs in his stomach. Sasuke hums to himself at the idea of wrestling around with Naruto. That wouldn't be that bad…

"Okay! Now pick your partners. Try to pick people based off similar strengths to keep it even. We'll take shots in between each round to make it interesting!" Kiba immediately springs on top of Shikamaru, a goofy smile contagiously on his lips. "Shika is mine!"

Sasuke's eyes immediately clash with Naruto's and the raven swells a little inside that Naruto chose to be his partner over everyone else. These past couple of weeks are actually paying off. They smile to each other before Naruto moves to sit in front of Sasuke.

As they wait for others to settle down and figure out their partners, Sasuke notices Naruto's tense figure once again. He hates seeing Naruto like this… Knowing he'll regret his next words, Sasuke wraps his arms around the blonde and brings him back so Naruto is resting his back against his chest.

"Um… I can drink your shot if you don't want to," Sasuke offers, his voice low next to Naruto's ear. His body flushes a little feeling Naruto shiver under his touch. Stop it.

Naruto is silent for a couple more moments, his body still tense before he relaxes into Sasuke's embrace. "I would really appreciate that… I've never had any before…" Naruto trails off, his tan neck flushing.

"Say no more," Sasuke whispers resisting the urge to kiss the beautiful and exposed neck in front of him.

Everyone finally gets into pairs with Juugo in the middle. Sasuke's heart begins to pound as everyone waits for the moment the game is going to start. He has his arms wrapped very gently around Naruto's waist so the blonde could escape if he was quick enough. Sasuke could feel his mouth going dry as the seconds tick on by.

"Now," Juugo states simply before utter chaos ensues.

Sasuke's arms become like steel against Naruto's chest and the raven's legs wrap around the blonde's waist as well before they tip over onto their sides. They both breathe shallowly as they silently struggle against one another. Snaking one arm around Naruto's chest and then grasping the back of Naruto's neck, Sasuke forces Naruto face first into the carpet.

Naruto groans loudly, his frustration rocking his body. Sasuke licks his lips as he presses his body against Naruto's back. He silently thanks his father for the wrestling lessons as a child.

Eyes widening, Sasuke is suddenly flipped over Naruto's head as Naruto grasps the back of Sasuke's shirt and throws him over his shoulder. Sasuke stays stunned, his back on the floor as Naruto lunges over him and tags Juugo ending the round.

"Fuck," Sasuke whispers to himself as he watches a victorious grin consume Naruto's lips as Kiba gives him a high five. Sasuke feels himself getting hard at the rush of excitement from being completely dominated by Naruto. Sasuke had no idea that Naruto had that kind of strength just laying around and it is fucking sexy as hell.

Sasuke licks his lips again just thinking about how much more he wants to dominate Naruto and make him his. Fuck, this isn't good.

Naruto finally makes his way back, his victorious grin making him grin as well instead of his usual glare. "I'm not going to lose this time," Sasuke declares before throwing a glance over his shoulder and downing both of their shots, no one the wiser.

The next round goes just about the same. Naruto flips Sasuke on his back and pins him down, Naruto's breaths mixing with Sasuke's own. Taking a risk, Sasuke wraps his legs around Naruto's waist and toss him to the side so Sasuke ends up sitting on top of the wide-eyed blonde.

Sasuke is about to lunge for Juugo, but Suigetsu is already in the middle cheering loudly. Wasting no time, Sasuke gets up and away from Naruto to hide his raging boner. Glancing at the grinning blonde, Sasuke relaxes slightly. Doesn't seem like Naruto suspects anything.

Another round of shots are dished out and Sasuke downs both of them again. He feels himself slowing down from the first two shots and flushes a little. Sasuke had completely forgotten that he is the biggest light weight ever. He had been so wrapped up in saving his blonde that he had totally forgotten his condition.

Naruto pretty much climbs into his lap, his head taking over his shoulder as those mesmerizing ocean eyes look up at Sasuke. "Thanks a lot for doing that for me. It means a lot," Naruto whispers, a gentle smile and blush making Sasuke's heart flutter. Fuck.

A drunk energy consumes him as the next round starts and he flings the blonde onto his back. They struggle for a couple of moments, their chests grinding against each other and their legs digging at the floor. Sasuke feels his face flush as Naruto's quick steaming hot breaths puff against his neck.

Sasuke sighs when Ino escapes Sakura and tags Juugo.

Untangling himself from his love, he stares down at him with half lidded eyes and his lips partially opened. Naruto stares up at him with faint blush on his cheeks. Before Sasuke can panic, Naruto starts giggling.

"It looks like you just had sex," Naruto comments as he sits up. Sasuke stares blankly at the blonde as Naruto fixes Sasuke's hair and shirt. "Ha, ha, all better!"

Naruto sits behind him and Sasuke takes the moment to gulp and lick his lips again. He doesn't know how much more he can endure. His body is burning hot and his pants are getting tighter and tighter. He's so aroused and his blonde has no idea.

Sasuke doesn't even hide taking both of the shots, because at this time everyone is already in their own world. Sasuke can tell some of the heavier drinkers had been taking extra shots in between rounds because a lot of them are plastered at this point.

Relaxing into Naruto's arms, Sasuke feels himself go sluggish. The next round surprises him as Naruto tightens his grip against him, their bodies flush against each other. Not resisting one bit, Sasuke lets Naruto bring them to the floor.

"Ha ha, no more fight in you?" Naruto giggles in Sasuke's ear as they lay together, Naruto's arms relaxing a little.

"I think I forgot to mushhhhhen…" Sasuke pauses at his slurs, Naruto's giggling rocking his body. "Eyyyyyyy'm a liiight weight," Sasuke continues, his words coming slow to him.

"Ha ha ha, oh my god. Wow, ha ha. Sorry Sasuke," Naruto apologizes before muffling his giggles into Sasuke's shoulder. Sasuke throbs at the vibrations going through his body as Naruto shakes and shakes.

Sasuke saves himself by biting into his hand as he moans… over and over again. Sasuke thanks the gods when the round finally ends with Sakura tagging Juugo.

Taking another two shots, Sasuke's world begins to spin. His mind is a complete fuzzball with sexual desire and alcoholic influence fucking him up. Sasuke gasps when Naruto tackles Sasuke sending them to the floor as another round starts without Sasuke realizing it.

Naruto playfully rolls around the floor with Sasuke, the blonde's legs grinding blissfully against Sasuke's raging hard-on. Noticing not a single fucking thing, Naruto grabs Sasuke's thighs and hoists him up along Naruto's hot body to make Sasuke straddle his lap.

That was it.

Sasuke lets out a silent moan, his tongue coming out slightly and his eyes half lidded and glazed over. Sasuke's entire body shakes against Naruto as he finally cums, his dick pulsing and throbbing with each spurt of cum leaving his body. Sasuke, in his drunk state, even grinds against Naruto's stomach in his last wave of orgasim.

Sasuke lets out a soft moan when he's done as shudder after shudder wracks his body, sweat beading his flushed skin. Even after all that Sasuke has the audacity in his orgasmic afterglow to lick his lips and finally suck on the blonde's necks.

Seconds later and Sasuke's head is finally clearing. Gasping, Sasuke detaches himself from the still blonde and lands on his ass, his wide eyes looking up at the kneeling blonde, his own eyes wide as well. Sasuke flushes a billion shades of red as Naruto's eyes trail down to Sasuke's crotch and at the obvious wet spot in the center.

Fuck.

Before Sasuke can explain anything, Naruto glances away from him before crawling on top of Sasuke, Naruto's hot breath breathing heavily on the raven's ear. "Uh erm, did you just cum?" Naruto questions beautifully ignorant as he traps Sasuke under him.

Sasuke's heart is going a million miles a second as the blonde awkwardly covers Sasuke's body with his own. Is Naruto trying to make sure no one else sees him? Despite literally being cummed on just seconds ago, Naruto is being so fucking kind to him.

Sighing, Sasuke's head is already turning gears to get out of this little situation. "Uh, yeah… I'm so sorry Naruto," Sasuke pauses as a delectable blush consumes Naruto's cheeks at the confession. "I eh um, I get really horny when I'm drunk," Sasuke whispers, his chest literally hurting at the confession.

He is not expecting Naruto to burst out laughing before wrapping his arms around Sasuke bringing them close again. How did this perfect angel become his friend?

"Oh my god, Sasuke. It's totally fine. I'm the one that made you drink my shots. Tell me next time you're about to bust your nuts so I can save ourselves an awkward moment again, okay?" Naruto manages to giggle out, the shaking of his body comforting now.

Humming, Sasuke buries his flushed face into Naruto's neck, the one he had just been kissing… UGH. "Thanks for being so cool…" Sasuke trails off before giving his love a little squeeze.

"Ha ha, no problem Sasuke," Naruto sighs as he hugs him back before detangling themselves. Glancing around, they realize that everyone is just drinking and goofing off at this point. They're not even sure if anyone had won the last round. Sasuke's eyes clash with Suigetsu and he just about wants to die. He definitely knows…

Ignoring the smirk from his best friend, Sasuke takes time to stare at Naruto as the blonde observes his surroundings. Sasuke feels one last bit of sexual confidence as he sticks his foot in between Naruto's knees and slides one knee from out underneath him, making Naruto lurch forward and land on Sasuke.

"Geez, Sasuke. You're such a handful drunk. You get sluggish, horny and flirty? That's such a bad combination. You're gonna get taken advantage of if you're not careful," Naruto giggles, his brows furrowed and a small concerned smile gracing his lips.

One more. Sasuke sticks out his tongue and tilts his head back. "Mmmm, are you the one that's gonna take advantage of me?" Sasuke hums, a smirk consuming him. Too far?

"Okay, you're done for the night," Naruto suddenly pouts, before startling Sasuke and using that sexy strength of his to lift Sasuke in the air and put him on his back piggyback style. "I'm taking this drunk back home. See you guys later!" Naruto calls out to the rest of the group.

Stepping into the night air, Naruto hoists Sasuke up a little more on his back, his raven companion groaning a little. Naruto rolls his eyes at the sound, his mind trying to stay out of the gutter. Sasuke thankfully stays quiet for most of the journey, a couple embarrassing advances here and there making Naruto blush and stumble a little in surprise.

Naruto blushes a little as an almost asleep Sasuke sucks at his neck gently. Naruto knows that Sasuke is just really drunk, but he can't help getting a little aroused at his friend's advances. Sasuke knows that Naruto is gay. It's a little insensitive, but Naruto understands that he's not in the right mind at the moment. It doesn't help Naruto's raging libido though.

Naruto tenses a little at a realization. Is Sasuke the first guy he has made cum? Naruto's entire body flushes at this weird 'first time' experience. Geez, this is not how Naruto imagined this first time to play out. He was expecting it would be a little more mutually pleasing…

Groaning to himself, Naruto purses his lips at the memory. Naruto feels slightly embarrassed for his friend. He knows that Sasuke is going to wake up tomorrow morning and regret everything. Sasuke has so much pride that this entire experience is probably going to make him blush for days.

Naruto's lips curl up at the thought of Sasuke blushing. Seeing Sasuke's house in the distance, Naruto begins to feel the night's events weighing down on him. By the time Naruto dumps Sasuke in his bed, Sasuke is out like a light, his lips parted and a blush on his cheeks. Naruto groans a little at the sexy display. Sasuke really needs to never drink ever again if he doesn't want to get jumped.

Leaving water, some advil and a little note on Sasuke's bedside, Naruto finally leaves the raven's company. When Naruto finally gets home, he all about sinks into his mattress. His eyes become heavy and his muscles twitch in pain. Knowing he'll regret it in the morning if he doesn't, Naruto strips off all of his clothes and hops into the shower.

Taking a cold shower is not preferable, but Naruto isn't about to get off on his friend. He's pretty sure that Sasuke isn't gay. He would have told Naruto if he is when Naruto had told them all. Well, he hope that Sasuke would- No, he's not even gay, so it doesn't matter.

Wiping down his cold body, Naruto makes it back into his room and settles down on his computer chair waking up his laptop. Naruto stares at the blinking message at the top corner of his screen and just about have a heart attack.

From RedEyedRaven13:

Hey is there any chance you want to meet up Monday during lunch?

Naruto feels his face flush and butterflies fluttering in his stomach at the message. Is that a date invitation, or just a friendly lunch meet-up? Groaning, Naruto almost loses his mind rereading the message for any indication at the meaning behind the words. The message was sent right after he had logged off, so maybe it is date? Did Raven not have enough courage to bring it up while they were talking?

Sighing, Naruto puts his head in his hands and takes a deep breath. Maybe he can talk to his friend about Sasuke. It is really confusing to have a friend cum on you and then continue to flirt and make passes at him. Naruto knows it meant nothing to Sasuke, but for Naruto that was extremely awkward… and maybe a little arousing.

Yeah, he needs to talk to this friend of his. It's not like he has to tell him that he's talking about Sasuke.

Message to RedEyedRaven13:

Hey, Raven! Sorry, just saw this message now. I would love to have lunch, but do you think we can do it tomorrow instead? I don't know when you'll see this so how about we meet at Konoha Grill? Let's say at noon? I guess I'll see you there!

Oh, I guess we need something to recognize each other. I'll wear an orange shirt and you wear a blue shirt? Hmmmm and we both can wear a baseball cap? Sure, let's go with that.

Naruto blushes a little making all of these plans by himself, but he can't really talk to his friend if he isn't online. Assuming that'll be enough, Naruto sends the message and almost immediately regrets it.

Shaking off the onslaught of doubt, Naruto puts on some sweatpants and a t-shirt before getting under his covers. His earlier exhaustion takes a couple minutes to come back, but when it does, it knocks the nervous blonde right out.

Tomorrow will be fine.

Sasuke groans when the morning rays attack his eyes. Turning over in his bed, Sasuke relaxes slightly as he begins to wake up. The first thing he notices is that he is fully dressed. He always sleeps in his boxers so why…

"Oh fuck!" Sasuke exclaims bolting up into a sitting position.

That was a mistake.

Sasuke doubles over in pain, a million bolts of lightning running through his head. "Fuck. I need-" Sasuke stops himself when he finds what he needs right next to him on his bedstand… There it is. Advil and water.

Quickly downing the pill and the entire glass of water, Sasuke feels slightly better… until he remembers the night before… Oh my god, did he really cum on Naruto?

His entire face turns crimson as the world around him consumes him whole. What the fuck was he thinking? Sasuke knows that he's a horrible light weight. Did he think that wrestling around with the love of his life while intoxicated was a good idea? Stupid, stupid, stupid!

Groaning, Sasuke reluctantly gets up and starts on his day. A new day is a new start, right? He has to groan again as the regret consumes him. It's like those times when one thinks about those stupid childhood memories that attacks your mind all at once and makes one cringe for an hour, but it was only just last night.

First thing first, Sasuke takes a thorough shower, hoping to wash away his regrets and shame at the same time. Standing around in the shower with his thoughts did the opposite of that. He knows that Naruto was amazing last night, being so nice and considerate, but after a night's sleep will he get some common sense and avoid Sasuke? How can Naruto even look him in the eye? How will he look Naruto in the eye?

"Ahhhh," Sasuke yells pathetically in the echoing shower before getting out and getting dressed. He stares at his blinking phone on his desk and reluctantly drags his feet over there and sits down at his desk, somewhat ready to face last night.

From Suigetsu:

DID YOU FUCKING CUM ON NARUTO?

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

Like holy shit. I would just kys if I were you. HA HA

Sasuke? You there?

I was just joking. I'm here if you need me.

You up yet?

Sasuke?

Sasuke smiles to himself at Suigetsu's concerned messages and immediately forgives him for his earlier mocking texts.

To Suigetsu:

Yeah, I'm up, you idiot. And I have no comment on your first message. All you need to know is that I'm never playing that fucking game ever again. End of conversation.

He gets an immediate response like he was waiting for him to answer. Weirdo.

From Suigetsu:

HA HA HA HA. Whew, I can laugh now that you're not dead. BUT DAMN, that's fucking embarrassing as SHIT! HA HA HA. Ah I just can't XD

Groaning at his best friend's stupid message, he shoots Suigetsu a quick message before looking through his other messages with an equal amount of regret from last night.

From Itachi:

Please tell me that Naruto did not just bring your drunk-ass home. We're gonna have a long talk when you wake up.

Also, Dei wants to know if you made a move on Naruto. The kid was a blushing mess.

Fucking shit. Sasuke groans for the millionth time just that morning, ignoring that text and looking at the rest of them. So many damn nosy people.

From Kiba:

Dude? Did you put the moves on Naruto, or something? Naruto was blushing when he took your ass home. Please tell me you at least got a kiss out of the deal before he dumps your drunk-ass.

From Shikamaru:

Please ignore Kiba. I'm sure you didn't do anything that couldn't be turned around. Good luck!

He doesn't know if he should be angry with Kiba for underestimating Sasuke's control (ignore that he came), or be angry at himself for not living up to Shikamaru's standards. A blush consumes his cheeks at the thought of all of the stupid advances he made on the innocent blonde. UGH.

Sasuke is about to close his phone, ignoring all of those idiots, when he sees a new message pop in. His heart stops and his eyes widen upon reading the lovely, yet terrifying name. Naruto. What the fuck is he gonna say?

Hold on.

His mind short circuits trying to come up with what the blonde could possibly want to say to this disgusting excuse for a human being. The only thing he could possibly want is to end their friendship and tell him off. This is it. Goodbye any chances of happiness. He should just give up on love. He's more suited for one night stands anyways. Who would want to love-

Another message comes in from Naruto.

Sasuke knows he's trash, so he might as well face the music. Taking a deep breath, Sasuke prepares himself for the worst.

From Naruto:

Morning Sasuke! I hope you don't feel too bad, but if you do have a headache then I hope you at least found the advil. Make sure to rest up and not to overwork yourself too much. Thanks again for taking my shots. Anyway, have a great day Sasuke 3

Oh, that wasn't too bad, Sasuke muses with a small smile. Now for the next message- Fuck.

From Naruto:

Eh, I wasn't going to say anything but I feel like I should. I don't know how much you remember, you were pretty drunk, or at least I think you were? I don't know much about alcohol to make an accurate opinion, but I digress. Ummmm I don't want you to feel awkward or anything. I'm totally not holding anything against you, and I definitely won't tell anyone! I swear it on my life. Believe it! I just want to put this behind us, and not be awkward. It was really nice hanging out with you yesterday and putting all that shit from the past to rest. I'm really looking forward to being friends with you for a long time :)

By the time Sasuke is done reading the text a crimson blush is radiating off his cheeks and tears are forming at the edges of his eyes. Banging his head against the desk, he puts his phone in his lap and reads the text over and over again. He can't help the tears falling on his screen or the whimpers trembling out of his lips.

How has he been so lucky in the past couple of months to be blessed with Naruto in his life? Naruto is such a forgiving, kind person and only if Sasuke had swallowed up his pride earlier than he could have spent even more time with his blonde. God, he wants to hug and protect his blonde from all of the dirty things, but then he'd have to go as well. He's just this piece of trash that-

He blinks when another message from his blonde comes in.

From Naruto:

I won't be happy with myself if you're beating yourself over this shit. I saw that you read the message, so fucking answer me, you idiot! Stop going in circles with that overactive brain of yours, and just let it go.

Sasuke can't help the shit eating grin taking over his lips or the laugh bubbling from the pit of his throat. Seriously, how is Sasuke this blessed with this beautiful angel? How does Naruto know what he needs?

To Naruto:

Thanks Naruto. You know just what I needed to hear. I'm really sorry about yesterday. Like you said last night, I'm the worst drunk. I promise I won't do that again. Thank you so much for being such a good sport :) Ps. I'm feeling fine. The advil helped a lot. Thanks.

From Naruto:

No need to thank me! Don't think about it anymore. It's in the past. Really glad that you're feeling well. You better look me in the eye next time we meet! I won't forgive you if you look away!

Laughing to himself, Sasuke can't help the happiness bubbling inside of him. What was he even worried about minutes ago? How could he think anything other than Naruto being the most amazing person in the world?

Sending him one last reply, smile on his lips, Sasuke wakes up his computer to find a small box blinking at him. Suddenly, his smile falters as he looks at the contents of the message. Shit, he forgot about meeting his online buddy.

SHIT. Shit shit shit shit! What time- Oh fuck, it's already half past eleven. How did he even sleep in that late? Looking over the message once more, obsidian eyes scan the nuances of the message for something to tell him not to go, but he did not finding anything.

Sighing, he answers in the affirmative if that mattered at this point in time before hurriedly getting ready, clothes being tossed all around and heart racing wildly. Sasuke decides that no matter what, he's going to wait for Naruto. This online friend could be a god, but he really wants to try with Naruto before he gets any funny ideas about some unknown man.

His feelings for Naruto is not cheap enough that he'll divide them in half to try and squeeze some other guy in there. Nodding to himself confidently in the mirror, Sasuke is set off for his meetup, not date.

"Where the fuck do you think you're going?" Itachi says calmly from the door despite his words.

Ugh, Sasuke thinks to himself as he stiffly turns to his brother with his lips pursed in a thin line and his palms becoming moist. "Um, I'm out to meet that online friend I told you awhile ago about. I'm actually running late so if you could-"

"This has nothing to do with what happened with Naruto last night, does it? If you messed up with him, then running off with some other guy-"

"Fuck you," Sasuke bites out bitterly before taking a deep breath and continuing more calmly, "Naruto and I already made up. It's fine. I was gonna meet up with this guy before last night."

Sasuke pouts slightly when his brother looks down at him sternly before relenting and gives him an apologetic smile. "Sorry, I just didn't want you doing anything you regret. Have fun, then. Don't do anything I wouldn't," Itachi preaches before collecting Sasuke into a warm embrace.

"Yeah, I know Itachi," Sasuke says shortly before bounding away, his heart racing a little at meeting his online friend. He wonders who'll it be.

Sasuke berates himself for being a couple minutes late despite the restaurant being pretty close by. Strolling into the decently busy establishment, Sasuke puts on his baseball cap that he usually wouldn't be caught dead wearing.

Glancing around at the groups of people, he immediately catches his eyes on a single person in a booth, the guy typing away on his laptop. Sasuke's heart begins to speed up when he catches sight of a familiar patch of blonde hair under the white baseball hat and undeniable tan skin bare because of his orange T-shirt.

Sasuke can't believe that his online friend could most definitely be the love of his life, Naruto. Sasuke knows his blonde angel from any angle, there's no doubt there. The only doubt would be that he's his online friend, but when was the last time he saw Naruto wear a baseball cap? Like never.

Nodding to nothing in particular, Sasuke mentally prepares himself as he takes agonizing step after agonizing step in front of each other with his fists clenched into his pockets. His breaths become harder and harder to get in and out and his palms begin to clam up and his fingers shake. Oh god, he can't do this. He was not fucking prepared for this!

Sasuke about has a heart attack when he sits across the startled blonde without a word, his eyes doing anything but look Naruto in the eye. Oh god, what kind of face is Naruto making-

"Hey! Didn't I tell you to look me in the eyes next time we see each other?" Naruto half-heartedly growls, a soft smile on his lips. Sasuke can't help melting at the sight or the skip of his heart.

Despite his better judgement and every fiber in his body being high strung, Sasuke looks Naruto in the eye with a smile of his own. "Ah, sorry about that. I wasn't feeling awkward about yesterday… I just didn't think you were my online friend. It's weird how things turn out sometimes," Sasuke laughs lightly, the fluffy atmosphere calming his nerving.

That is until Naruto freezes up, utter confusement striking his features like paint crashing against a canvas. "What- uh, oh my god! Oh, what the fuck? That's insane! I didn't see your outfit until you just said something. Oh wow, what a coincidence!" Naruto barks out, laughter bellowing out of the blonde heartedly.

The laughter relaxes Sasuke, so he lets a breath of relief leave him. He blushes slightly at the idiocracy of crushing on his online friend slightly when it ends up to be Naruto anyway. What an idiot… Oh fuck.

"I should have known!" Naruto continues with a smile. "Your interest in basketball, and just the timing of our online chats and the people we talked about. Oh my god, you even talked about your brother being gay and having a boyfriend. How did I not see that…" Naruto trails off before his eyes widen and his mouth opens slightly ajar.

Fuck.

Naruto leans in, his brows furrowed and his voice low before he asks, "Wait, Sasuke, are you gay?"

Sasuke's entire world seems to be crumpling all around him. One moment he's happy that his online friend that he's confined in and is slightly crushing on turns out to be Naruto, but then he is reminded that he confined in him. Fucking fuck. Why did he think that he could tell a supposed stranger that he's gay and then meet him? What the fuck did he do?

Seconds have past and it's obvious to the blonde what the answer to his question is. Sasuke doesn't expect the hurt look to strike Naruto's face, his beautiful blues glazing over with tears and his lips pouting with trembling lips.

"How could you not tell me? I confined to you that I'm gay and you even cheered me up when Kiba ended it with me. You had so many chances to tell me, so why didn't you? Do you not trust me?" Naruto asks, the hurt clear.

Throat constricting and tears of his own welling up, Sasuke had the innate instinct to run away and protect himself, but for both of their sakes he needed to do this. He needed to tell him everything. He just had to do it. He can do it. He can.

"... It's not like I didn't want to tell you Naruto. It's just hard for me tell others anything about myself. I just psych myself out with too many thoughts that I just end up not saying anything. I'm really sorry Naruto," Sasuke whispers, his voice trembling and his obsidian orbs staring into Naruto's blue one.

Sasuke feels his heart break when a single tear escapes Naruto's eye, before the blonde wipes it away quickly. His shattered heart skips a beat when he snatches up Naruto's wet hand with his own and brings it to the middle of the table.

"Hey, I'm sorry. Okay? No more secrets, I promise. I'll really try to talk to you about more things… Just promise to be patient, okay?" Sasuke tries, a shy smile ghosting on his lips as he squeezes Naruto's hand before letting go and putting his hand in his lap.

Naruto flashes him a soft smile before nodding to Sasuke. "Yeah, I can be patient… It's just really surprising. You always have girls hanging on you," Naruto chuckles, the noise picking up Sasuke's shattered heart and slowly piecing it back together.

Sasuke half laughs, half smirks at the absurdity of him giving those girls the time of day. "Just because they latch onto me doesn't mean I'll date them. It's really annoying actually. Guys are way more chill… and hot," Sasuke hesitates to add, a blush flaring up at his words, but he promised to be honest, and well, that's a lot of honesty coming from his trembling lips.

The blonde couldn't help but let out a loud laugh, with his hands clutching at his sides and his eyes wrinkling closed. How is Naruto so beautiful? He smiles to himself as he watches his friend try and conquer his laughing to become a little more subtle, if Naruto could do subtle. Of course he can't. Sasuke immediately drops his smile when he catches Naruto staring in awe of the weird face Sasuke is most definitely making.

He doesn't know, right? RIGHT?

The gears in Naruto's face is slowly turning and the whole process is being displayed on Naruto's face. It starts with a slight pondering frown, and then a confused furrowed brow, and then finally a bright blush. Oh fuck.

"Wait, you were talking about some guy you were crushing on, right?" Naruto prods, the gears in his head still turning.

Fuck Sasuke's life. Just fuck it.

Sasuke just hums in agreement as he watches the trainwreck happen. It's not like he can stop it at this point. This is where it all ends, huh? He expected it to be a bit more fast, not this tantalizing death.

"Didn't you say he was blonde, and a friend of yours?" Naruto further asks, the frown on his lips stabbing at his Sasuke's beat on heart, the last couple of bandaids holding his heart together starting to rip.

Sasuke agrees with another hum. Farewell to any attempt at love.

"... You weren't talking about me, were you?" Naruto asks with a blank look on his face, no emotions, good or bad, showing on his usually very open face.

Sasuke keeps his eyes steady and his face still as he tries to search for any sign to go ahead and confess all of his love. He should just do it. Just put all of this suffering to rest and accept the outcome as it's dished to him. He'll probably be able to get over the rejection that sure to come, but at this point, should he even drag it out. It would be kind of nice to finally sleep without thinking about what the blonde thought of him. It's be nice to dream without entertaining the thought of the blonde loving him back.

Opening his lips, Sasuke had every intention of confessing his love, to put all of this suffering behind him, but some corner of him must be masochistic. "I couldn't really say that he had white hair," Sasuke says, a frown settling on his lips. That's not what he wanted to say.

Naruto seems to mull over this new information before his blank, cold face breaks into one with wide eyes and a mouth agape. "Holy shit, you have a crush on Suigetsu, you best friend?" Naruto whispers really loudly, his adorable body leaning across the table and his face coming close to Sasuke's.

Fuck. What did he just do?

Not trusting his lips anymore, Sasuke only hums again, the immediate response being a small giggle from the blonde. Is Naruto happy that he doesn't like him?

"Oh my god, how cheesy Sasuke! What's up with best friends falling in love? It's so cliche it hurts," Naruto continues to laugh, the once beautiful action striking his crumbling heart.

Why is this more painful then what he thinks outright rejection would feel like? It hurts so much. Sasuke has to take a small breath as he watches the amused smile on Naruto's lips curl. Stop it. It hurts.

"Sorry for being cliche," Sasuke decides to mumble, his eyes finally tearing away from his blonde at to the side. If he looks at him any longer then he's sure to reveal his true feelings. He can't do that anymore.

He really fucked up.

He startles slightly when Naruto grabs his arm and brings his hand from underneath the table so he can hold it. Ugh. "Hey, I didn't mean to make fun of you… I just didn't expect it. Uh, do you know if he's gay?"

Sighing, Sasuke can't but help think this is going to be more painful than actually confessing. "I know that he's bi," Sasuke answers softly.

"Does he know that you're gay?" Naruto asks, the word rolling off his tongue awkwardly. Sasuke almost cringes at the sentence. He's not going to get used to that anytime soon.

"Yeah, he does," Sasuke supplies helpfully, if helpfully meant helping his demise. Sasuke groans in his head before metaphorically banging his head against the table. Fuck himself.

"Great!" Naruto abruptly cheers, the sound jarring Sasuke out of his thoughts in time to watch the end of his sanity. "We just gotta create the right atmosphere before you confess then!" Naruto smiles stupidly, the grin making him freeze.

"We?" Sasuke hisses, his entire body recoiling away from the blonde like he had burned him. He might as well have. He'd rather burn then live this reality.

Naruto tilts his head to the side, a beautiful smile on his lips. "Of course, Sasuke! I'm gonna help set you up with Suigetsu! I need to repay you for all that you've done for me. I can't wait to get started!" Naruto excitedly explains, his body rocking up and down in his seat.

Sasuke feels the last strand of his sanity snap off as he stares at his beautiful blonde. Well, definitely not his beautiful blonde at this point. He's far from his after this fucked up conversation.

How did he even get here?

Sasuke waves to Naruto as they head in different directions from the restaurant. The raven waits until Naruto is out of sight before whipping out his phone and putting it to his ear after dialing a number.

"Suigetsu, I fucked up."
