Hey everyone! Sorry for whining last chapter. I realized it had only been two days between posts but I couldn't shake the feeling that something had gone wrong. Because for me these last three chapters have been very angst. (I know you lovers of angst are like, "honey, this isn't even close to angst") but for me this is a lot as far as writing it goes. So back to fluff and stuff this chapter and we'll get back to the heavy stuff next time.
"That sexy Akita guy" is in reference to Yahiko, who I decided should be an Akita (dog) because of the red fur and just general cuteness. Early on, I had planned to use him as a fellow office worker and love rival for Sasuke's attentions. But I didn't like that after a while. Then I planned on having him as a guy hitting on Sasuke at some point during the trip. But I scrapped that idea too. Anyway, so he still makes a small appearance here in this chapter.
Sasuke smiled as Naruto ran from side to side of the gondola to check out the scenery. "If you just watch one side while going up you could watch the other while going down." he pointed out.
Naruto blinked and looked surprised, "Oh right." He plopped down next to Sasuke and glued his face to the window.
They were headed up a mountain for a picnic lunch. Sasuke had only talked Naruto out of hiking up because he would miss the gondola lift ride.
The sunshine felt nice and Sasuke stretched out on the seat and leaned into the warm sunbeams coming through the window. Naruto didn't move his eyes from the window but he did reach over and hold Sasuke's hand.
Ever since the two of them had met Sasuke could tell Naruto was a touchy type but all throughout the trip Naruto had taken more and more liberty touching Sasuke. Often the touches were innocent like right now but it still was surprising to Sasuke. He wasn't used to such casual intimacy but with Naruto it somehow felt natural to be sitting here holding hands and watching the scenery drift by.
At the top of the mountain, they stashed their lunch basket behind a tree while they explored the area for a while and enjoyed the fresh air. It was rather fun climbing the rocks and checking out the view.
The top of the mountain was rocky and perfect for climbing around, jumping down into hollowed out places and climbing back up boulders onto the mountaintop. In some ways, it felt like a little castle with its own hallways and rooms.
Climbing back up a rocky outcropping, Sasuke heard Naruto's foot slip. He looked back over his shoulder at him in concern.
The blonde gave him a small smile, "How is it the city boy is so good at this? My palms are already scratched up."
"It's just a matter of judging where best to put your feet." Naruto clearly stepped first and thought second. "Here," Sasuke held out his hand.
Naruto blinked in surprise at the outstretched hand but took it and let Sasuke help him back up to the top.
"Thanks." Naruto was almost blushing.
Sasuke was suddenly embarrassed, he'd offered to help without thinking about it and clearly Naruto was making a big deal out of it. "Well I didn't want to have to carry your body back if you broke your neck." He joked.
Naruto laughed, "I guess I should be pleased you would even carry my body back."
"Well I'd would probably ask that sexy Akita guy to come help me." Sasuke winked at Naruto in a teasing manner.
"I knew you were checking him out!"
"I wasn't checking him out, it's just an empirical fact that he's sexy."
"Maybe. I guess I just like people with that lean look." Naruto wiggled his eyebrows as he exaggeratedly checked out Sasuke from head to toe.
"Well lucky for you, I like musclebound idiots."
Naruto smiled toothily, "Oh? So you do like me?" He gloated.
Sasuke pursed his lips, he hadn't meant to say it like that, but he really couldn't take it back at this point, "Well I like your body at least."
With a smirk, Naruto made a motion to grab Sasuke and pick him up but Sasuke scurried away too quickly. He gave Naruto a challenging look. "You're going to have to try harder than that." He said with a saucy purr.
Naruto puffed up his chest and grinned predatorily, "Are you sure you're up for it?" he taunted. He took a step forward and Sasuke took a step back.
With a lunge, the chase was on, the two of them laughing and a cool breeze carried the sound down the mountain. Sasuke was much lighter on his feet, but Naruto had a stamina that was hard to beat. Sasuke led him on a merry chase, just staying barely out of reach of the blonde's fingertips. Even though it was just for fun his heart was pounding as he ran away, Naruto's thundering footsteps right behind him.
A quick glance over his shoulder showed Naruto was also enjoying himself, he was smiling, but still in that predatory manner. He was clearly determined to catch Sasuke as a prize. Of course, Sasuke wouldn't let that happen too easily. If he'd wanted, he probably could have outran Naruto, or simply slipped up a tree or down one of the rock paths, but he chose to go places where Naruto could easily keep up. Even though he was technically the prey in this circumstance, he was the one in control of the game. And that was exhilarating all in it is own right.
Naruto finally managed to grab a hold of Sasuke's back pocket on his jeans, which he used to haul Sasuke into his arms. They were facing each other, both trying to catch their breath, their hearts pounding loudly in their ears. The feeling of those strong arms holding him sent delightful shivers down his spine. The first night of the trip Sasuke had seen what those arms could do, they'd done it against the wall, Naruto pinning him up in the air, and it had been damn glorious.
"I love that look." Naruto smiled sinfully.
"What look?"
"The one where you are clearly thinking of us doing dirty things together." Naruto said in a low voice.
They kissed intensely, blood still pumping from their run, Naruto's strong hands were on his back, holding him close.
Before Naruto could really begin to enjoy his hard won prize however, his stomach growled with a vengeance.
"Oh you're kidding me." Naruto groaned when the growling didn't stop.
Sasuke smiled and slipped out of Naruto's embrace, "Let's call it a tie and have lunch."
"Tie?" Naruto complained, "I won fair and square." He followed Sasuke back toward where they had stashed their picnic basket.
Sasuke spread out the picnic blanket on a small grassy patch just away from the rocky top of the mountain, after all the rain up here, he was relieved to find the grass dry. The basket was full of good things, Naruto had stuffed it to the brim with all his favorites: roast chicken sandwiches, hard boiled eggs, caprese salad, bbq chips, veggies and hummus dip, ginger beer, lemon cream cake and chocolate covered cherries.
Honestly, there was enough food for four people in the basket but Naruto did have a surprisingly large appetite. They sat on the blanket and talked about inconsequential things, like the clouds rolling by in the sky while they ate their lunch. It was amazing how comfortable they were with each other Sasuke thought. Well, maybe not on Naruto's side, he seemed comfortable with just about everyone. Sasuke though, he was sometimes not even comfortable with people he knew very well. Honestly, before this trip the things he knew about Naruto might have filled a thimble, however, after so many days together he felt that he knew a great deal about him. Strangely, the more he learned about Naruto the more he wanted to know. It was enough to make him pause in caution, his ever present concern about attachment plaguing him, but it was hard to listen to that little voice when the blonde next to him was so entrancing.
Naruto laid down so his head was in Sasuke's lap, "Feed me some cake?" He asked hopefully.
"Dream on." Sasuke was tempted to shove him off but in the warm sunshine, it felt nice to lay together.
Naruto sighed in resignation but didn't move, he closed his eyes and looked supremely comfortable.
Before he knew what he was doing, Sasuke started petting Naruto. His long fox ears felt nice and twitched in an amusing way when he stroked them. His tail was also wagging happily, thumping on the blanket.
"So," Naruto said after he had been still as long as he could stand, "Back to what we were doing before?"
The corners of Sasuke's mouth turned up, "And what was that?"
Naruto sat up, "Now don't be mean, come on, I won."
"Hmmmm." Sasuke mused, "And what did you want for a prize?"
"You." Naruto said unabashedly.
Sasuke smiled, "Fair enough." He leaned forward and touched Naruto's face with a gentle hand. Naruto leaned into that hand with closed eyes.
Tenderly he curled his fingers under Naruto's chin and turned his head to the side, the blonde didn't hesitate to follow.
With a smile, Sasuke bit Naruto's exposed neck, hard enough to make the fox bark in surprise.
Naruto frowned at Sasuke, "You just can't be gentle for once can you?"
"Oh, you wanted gentle?" He said with mock surprise, "Alright." He pushed Naruto's shoulders and laid Naruto onto his back. "Now stay still for a bit and you can be my body pillow. See? Isn't that gentle?"
Sasuke laid atop Naruto, the conditions were perfect for a catnap, the warm sunshine, the sweet and cool breeze, Naruto's body heat, everything was perfect.
Except… "You have to stop fondling my ass."
Naruto didn't respond nor did he stop massaging Sasuke's butt.
"Naruto?"
"I was just thinking how I'll pay you back for that little love bite." With his hands full of Sasuke's butt he pulled him up his chest so that Sasuke's neck was by his mouth.
Sasuke didn't have time to recover from the sudden movement before Naruto started sucking at that place behind Sasuke's jaw that drove him insane. Sasuke put his hands on Naruto's shoulders and kneaded him with his nails.
Naruto winced, "Watch your claws."
"I can't help it." He moaned, kneading was just a cat thing pure and simple. Sasuke sighed, "If you don't like it stop trying to eat me."
Naruto chuckled, his lips at the hollow of Sasuke's throat, "But I'm still hungry, you never fed me my cake." He licked Sasuke's Adam's apple.
"Well you can't eat me instead." Sasuke said with fake resistance, actually Naruto was welcome to eat him anytime.
"Now there's an idea." Naruto flipped Sasuke over gently, protecting the back of his head.
He pulled up Sasuke's t-shirt until it was exposing his nipples. Reaching over to the basket Naruto pulled the lid off the cake and put a dollop of lemon buttercream frosting on his finger. With a roguish grin, he dropped the frosting on Sasuke's pale skin.
"Not sure how I feel about this game." Sasuke said with a tremor that was more pleasurable anticipation than any other feeling.
"Then I'll keep going until you're sure." Naruto said with a wicked grin before dipping his head down to lick up his treat. Sasuke couldn't help his reaction, goosebumps rose up, his muscles twitched and his spine rose up of its own accord to arch into Naruto's mouth. With a happy hum in his throat at Sasuke's response, Naruto applied more buttercream to Sasuke's nipples and began lapping it up.
"I probably taste like sunscreen." Sasuke muttered, actually feeling self-conscious, after their time on the lake Sasuke had been more attentive to wearing sunscreen to avoid future lectures.
"You're so sweet." Naruto crooned, he was at Sasuke's navel, his tongue delving into his bellybutton.
"Only 'cause you put all that stuff on me." Sasuke panted.
"You're always sweet though, this is just the icing on my cake."
Sasuke kicked him for that bad joke.
Naruto groaned but laughed, "Worth it." He smirked and then ducked his head back down to continue his game.
After tasting every inch of his abdomen Naruto moved back to Sasuke's nipples and licked up the frosting gently for a moment before biting him hard enough to mark.
Sasuke's hips jerked up of their own accord and he moaned, as aroused as he was now that bite had been pure pleasure.
"Payback for my neck." Naruto muttered into Sasuke's skin.
"My pleasure." Sasuke smiled, that kind of payback was not bad at all.
Naruto tasted every bit of him, alternating between soft caresses and firm strokes, with the occasional bite for good measure, never failing to leave Sasuke wanting more. He was just licking icing off him but it felt like freaking body worship and Sasuke had to admit he loved it.
"Damn it, Sasuke," Naruto's voice sounded tense from arousal, "Do you have any idea of the noises you are making?"
"Shut up." Sasuke said embarrassed, he hadn't planned on being quite so turned on by this. He wiggled his hips some, his pants becoming too tight.
Naruto miraculously kept his mouth shut but gave Sasuke a knowing look. He put frosting down at the top of Sasuke's jeans, licking the skin just above the fabric.
After he'd licked Sasuke's waist thoroughly he tugged on Sasuke's pants, "These are in the way, lift your hips for me sugar." He pulled off Sasuke's pants and boxer-briefs in one move, "Now where else do you want me to taste your sweet self?"
Sasuke felt himself flush, he was going along with this too easily, "Whatever you do, do it quick, we are quite exposed up here." Honestly, they weren't the only two people on this mountain despite how it may feel.
Naruto pouted, "Don't get skittish now. Come on, you have to admit this is kind of fun."
Sasuke smiled, it was fun playing with Naruto, "Alright. Take off your shirt." He ordered. Then he reached for some icing, hooked his knee over Naruto's bare shoulder, and spread a thin trail down the inside of his right thigh, "Try that for starters."
The blonde groaned with arousal, "It's like someone just pulled you straight from my dreams." He mumbled before happily giving his attention to the pale thigh.
Naruto held Sasuke's leg aloft in one hand as he licked and nibbled his way toward Sasuke's crotch.
Next time we are going to use something red, Sasuke made a mental note, red would look better on his skin and against Naruto's eyes.
Those blue eyes were turned to him now, watching his panting breaths as he cleaned Sasuke's leg. Sasuke's fists were clenched in the blanket, he was already hard and wanting.
"Where next gorgeous?" Naruto's voice was rough and he looked voracious.
Sasuke unbuttoned Naruto's jeans, he was sporting an impressive erection considering he hadn't been touched at all, "You know where I want you."
Naruto put his fingers under Sasuke's chin and made him look into his eyes, "Be a cute kitten and ask."
Sasuke sighed, it was only fair, after all he'd made Naruto do it the other day. But he wasn't ready to submit quite yet, so with exaggerated and big begging eyes, he pouted at Naruto and spoke in a fake kittenish voice, "Please Mr. Fox, eat all of my most sensitive places and then give me your big cock."
Naruto's eyes almost popped out of his head, "Shit, I almost came just now."
"You're kidding, right?" Sasuke asked incredulously, he'd expected a laugh or maybe a punishment of some kind not that that kind of thing would work on Naruto.
The blonde didn't answer but pushed Sasuke back down on the blanket and pulled condoms and lube out of his pockets.
"Naruto?" Sasuke asked again but Naruto's attention had moved on.
Forgetting the buttercream frosting, Naruto pushed Sasuke's legs up, spreading them so he had compete access to Sasuke.
"Hold your legs." He ordered. Sasuke, still a little surprised, followed the order without thinking about it, while Naruto opened the lube and spread it over him.
He pulled Sasuke's hips up until he was almost uncomfortably bent in half and then licked Sasuke's hole. Naruto teased the rim with his tongue making Sasuke moan. Running his tongue from side to side, circling but never entering him. The tricky fox was damned clever with his mouth, Sasuke thought with both admiration and frustration. Sasuke let go of one leg and grabbed Naruto's hair, pressing him in deeper. He could feel Naruto's smile for a moment before he pushed his tongue inside.
"Yes!" Sasuke moaned, "More."
Naruto didn't let him down or give him any quarter and continued his assault, eating him out until everything else fell away and his whole world narrowed down to the delicious things Naruto was doing to him. He added a finger, massaging Sasuke inside, pulling him open for better access to Naruto's mouth. Before long, Sasuke's legs were turning to jelly and he knew he couldn't last much longer. Just a bit more, he thought to himself. Without even thinking about it, Sasuke reached up to touch himself, a few strokes and he could be over the edge.
Naruto immediately stopped and gave Sasuke a fierce look, "Just lay back and let me take care of you."
Sasuke whimpered, "Then get on with it. I want you now."
That statement pushed Naruto over the edge. Whatever else he'd planned on doing, he wasn't going to be doing it now. Naruto cursed steadily while he slipped a condom on and lined himself up with Sasuke's needy hole. Sasuke smiled, happy to get what he wanted.
"Don't think this means you win or anything." Naruto scolded when he saw Sasuke's smile.
"Of course not." Sasuke said kittenishly.
The fox frowned and pushed into Sasuke slowly. Because Sasuke had insisted on rushing things he was still a little tight as Naruto invaded him, just enough to make them both feel it more. Sasuke loved that feeling, the feeling of his partner forcing him open and raw, but Naruto usually took too much care with him to let him experience it.
At last Naruto was completely inside of him, Sasuke felt the initial thrill of being fully joined before Naruto started a gentle rhythm.
"Naruto, do it properly." Sasuke moaned.
"So greedy."
Sasuke laughed, "I think we both are guilty of that."
Naruto gave him a naughty smile because he knew he was just as hungry for Sasuke as Sasuke was for him. Abruptly Naruto changed his pace and thrust hard into Sasuke, deep inside of him. Sasuke dug one foot into the picnic blanket and wrapped the other around Naruto's waist so that he could meet him thrust for thrust. It was amazing how every time they came together like this they could feel this good.
"Fuck, Sasuke, it's perfect." Naruto continued thrusting hard and Sasuke couldn't even verbalize a reply, he just moaned in pleasure.
Sasuke wrapped his arms around him, fingers digging into Naruto's beautiful muscles but it still wasn't enough contact.
"Kiss me." Sasuke demanded. They hadn't kissed yet and Sasuke's mouth felt strangely bereft. Naruto happily obliged, capturing Sasuke's mouth with his own, the shift of his hips put him dead on Sasuke's sweet spot. The taste, scent and feeling of Naruto was overwhelming and wonderful. Sasuke, felt his tail sneak up and wrap itself around Naruto's tail, even those parts of their bodies couldn't seem to get enough contact.
"Naruto." Their wet tongues slid over one another, lips brushing, neither one of them aimed for finesse, it was about being completely connected together. Sasuke moaned into the fox's mouth, "Don't stop…. Don't stop kissing me."
"I know sugar."
It's so much at once, completely united, Sasuke felt pleasure burning under his skin as he raced toward an orgasm.
Naruto groaned, his orgasm ripping through him suddenly. Sasuke felt his pace wobble and Naruto rode him through his orgasm, enough that Sasuke came as well, shooting all over themselves as he saw stars.
"Damn, that was good." Sasuke smiled. His lips, among other things, felt tingly and well used. Turning on his side, he curled into Naruto, he could happily fall asleep right now.
Naruto didn't even respond verbally, just let out an exhausted laugh and held onto Sasuke.
Sasuke smiled, thinking that he could now add Naruto to the list of people who had made him come from his ass, the dry orgasm not counted. He wasn't sure how much time passed before he could even move his limbs again but the warning voice in his head insisted he get moving, they couldn't lay around nude on the mountain all afternoon.
Putting on clothes was not the most pleasant experience, thanks to all that frosting he was pretty much an unholy mess right now. And it didn't help that while Sasuke was putting his clean clothes over his sweaty skin, Naruto lay out in the sunshine looking like he'd just walked out of an underwear advertisement.
"Time to get up."
Naruto sighed and threw an arm over his eyes, "Why?"
"I want a shower."
"Can I get in with you?" He didn't hide the hopeful tone.
"If you carry all the picnic things back then maybe."
Just like that, Naruto was up in a flash.
Thanks for all the reviews everyone! They really help me stay on track. Okay! We are entering the homestretch here! Any last requests?
ToXicStArCaNdy : Glad you got the music reference. I also like Caravan Palace! It was a toss up for me which one to put in the chapter but I thought that Parov Stelar would be more well known.
val-une : I also miss the more forceful Naruto but we (meaning Naruto and I) noticed that the more pressure we put on Sasuke emotionally, the more we had to give him space to be the boss in the bedroom. Anyway, that was the reasoning for Naruto's obedience in the last few chapters.
HeartSNS : As far as interests coming between them when they get back to the real world, I'm sure there will be many. But the focus of this story is really the vacation that launched the romance. So I probably wont do much about the story after unless there is a general demand for a sequel. Glad you are liking the fluff!
Animallover66666 : Happy you came back from Haikyuu! world. Sasuke purring around Naruto is something I am totally obsessed with, I'm half convinced that even back when Naruto stalked him around the office Sasuke would be purring.
