"Girlfriend"-Avril Lavigne
Chapter: Girlfriend
They walked onto the set with widened eyes. It had been almost a month and a half since Sasuke had been anywhere near any filming equipment, and the sudden reminder made him shudder. What horror awaited him this time?
"Sasuke-kun," He looked towards the now closing entrance to the set. A man with a black and red cloak on and long blonde hair came in.
"Deidara-san…"he responded.
The man smiled kindly at the two of them, it was only upon further inspection that Naruto realized that the person was a male. But who could blame him. What kind of guy had such androgynous curves and long hair?!
"Oh, and you must be Naruto-kun. Hajimemashite. (1)" he said, with an extended hand. Naruto took it cautiously. "Well, I'm glad that you're here early. We haven't had time to find a replacement to your opposite, so I'm sorry to tell you but…there was only one choice, and the movie's debut isn't too far away…"
"Ohayo (2), Sasuke-kun. Naruto-kun." the actor turned to the set. A woman, who looked very familiar and at the same time extremely annoyed, appeared from behind one of the set walls; Naruto almost smirked.
"Karin-san, it's very nice to see you again." Sasuke said with fake pleasure. As he hugged her, without knowledge, she shot a dirty look at the blonde behind him. The man merely smirked. When Sasuke returned to his side, he interlaced fingers with the actor and went back to his innocent smile. Karin looked just as peachy. It seemed that there would be absolutely no backing down in this battle. One would win and the other would fail miserably. It was only time that could now determine who would stand by the side of this amazing man.
Naruto swore that he would not miss the chance to continue what could have been with his old boyfriend.
It wasn't long before the battle would take flight, and the time would come to prove their worth.
------U R Darkest's Pawn-----
"Okay Sasuke-kun, in this scene, you must kiss your girlfriend sweetly, seeing as this is the last time that you'll see her until next year." Deidara shouted from the director's seat.
Sasuke glared as the blonde director smiled sweetly as if saying 'This is how the script is written. So sue me.'
The spectators had very similar reactions. Karin was smirking like no one's business and Naruto looked appalled. After all he'd endured, it was ridiculous that now he had to watch the same bitch that'd already had a shot at the Uchiha play the opposite in the movie now lock lips and play tonsil hockey with his boyfriend. This was a point where he'd draw the line. But knowing that he'd b e shot down before there would be any changes in a script that had been playing out for a while now, there was only one choice that would leave him with enough pride and dignity to remain by Sasuke's side. He'd just prove how much better of a lover he really was. Even off the set. He watched with a certain grim smirk on his face as they began to take their places on the set.
"And…Action!"
The lights dimmed and the fake giant fan began to spin. The rain machine went on and suddenly, the blonde felt as if he was stuck witnessing a very convincing goodbye scene between two very dedicated lovers. It would have been convincing, if not for the utter hatred he felt for the female actress and the disgust that wretched in his stomach every time he imagined that horrible kiss that Deidara-san had written in for the script.
"I'm sorry, Ayame. I need to leave. I promise that this time, I will be back soon."
The look on Sasuke's face, that was oh-so-sexy, made Naruto want to jump up on the stage and kiss the man. But he was only a spectator. He couldn't do anything…not until the scene was over.
"Please, Shinogu, I don't want to lose you again. Refuse them! I can't stand the thought of you not returning!" she placed a hand on her stomach gently.
The tears in her eyes were so convincing, it made the blonde wonder why indeed the Uchiha hadn't taken the chance to claim her while he wasn't around. Well, then again, there was always the most obvious obstacle that he was an absolute flamer.
"If I can't make you stay, then can I at least have some sort of memory of you…some way to remember you in my life…" she slowly leaned in, as Sasuke did at the same time. Naruto leaned on the balls of his feet to make sure that there were no unnecessary actions in the scene, but he couldn't expect any less of the devious woman. He knew that at some point there was going to be something that he wouldn't be able to stop.
Their lips met; a soft, faint pressing that looked as intimate as that of a real couple. But they were actors, so it had to look realistic.
Karin wrapped her arms around the Uchiha's neck and Sasuke arms snaked around the woman's waist.
Ringggggggg…
"And cut!"
Sasuke pulled away quickly, but was unable to escape the tight grasp of Karin. He turned to face the director.
"Good work. That scene is done and over with. I don't see any need to do it again." he threw in for the two males' sake. "Alright, take a ten minute break and we'll start on the next scene."
As the Uchiha wormed his way out of the lady's grasp to reach Naruto quickly, but the persistent female followed like a lap dog. Naruto wrapped his arm around the raven's waist and then they turned to Karin.
"You did well, Sasuke-kun. I really think that you were into that scene." she smirked, slyly looking in the blonde's direction. Then the redhead let her hand slip onto the man's shoulder. "I wouldn't mind doing it again, you know, just to make sure that it was convincing enough."
Sasuke shook her hand off, his arm tightening on the kit's body. "I'm sure it was convincing enough, Karin-san." he said in a tight voice.
She nodded gleefully and then pranced off to make-up.
Naruto then turned to his boyfriend with a look on his face that he knew would tell the Uchiha that he was in big trouble. Sasuke wanted to laugh.
"Did anything happen between the two of you?" the blonde's face was begging Sasuke to lie if anything did happen.
"Not really…" the raven responded plainly.
At this, Naruto wanted to rush over to the redhead and tear her damn hair out of her scalp. But instead, he held the anger in. "Was it better…?"
Sasuke shook his head. "I don't think that it was better…" there was still an underlying direction that he was waiting for the blond to pick up.
The blonde could feel his jaw drop. How calmly his boyfriend could refuse the irrefutable idea that he'd just locked lips with a person other than him! This time, the anger, very much uncontrolled, decided to claim its victim. Naruto grabbed a fistful of Sasuke's shirt and pulled him to the awaiting lips. He crushed their lips together, hoping that the cold sinking feeling in his chest would just disappear.
Sasuke responded very quickly, gasping and latching onto the blonde hair to keep their faces welded together. He slipped his tongue in, forcing an all-out make-out session. Naruto pressed himself closer, if that was even possible, to get all of the taste of the man. He could swear that his boyfriend was his own personal drug. He could be one minute life threatening addictive and the next giving him the high of his life.
When they broke apart, both were breathing hard to a point that you'd think that they'd just finished running a marathon. The Uchiha came back once more, barely brushing his mouth, lighter than a butterfly's wing, when a cough came from behind them.
"Naruto-kun, Sasuke-kun, I'd appreciate it if you two would stop trying to make a movie of your own by giving other's hard-ons." Deidara said with authority. He looked at the raven. "If you'd please make your way back to set…"
In the corner of his eye, he could see Karin glaring. The Director/Akatsuki member decided that it would be best if there were absolutely no deaths during the shooting, unless ordered by the leader or Itachi-sama. It was painstaking to watch the two be torn away once again, but if they didn't have a supporting actor/actress then the ten million dollars that had already been spent as the movie's budget was going to be a waste and he'd surely be punished by both Itachi-sama and Sasori-danna.
It was for the best that the two not make such intimacy a habit…at least not while they were in the presence of one very jealous woman. There would be blood spilling, if not intentional, then by some horrible-gone-awry twist in the future, and Deidara could only hope that he wouldn't be the one to witness such an unfortunate sight. But if it was art…
…there were going to have to be some sacrifices, and he'd have to find a way to make those sacrifices not look like homicides.
The next scene was a perfect opportunity. "In the next scene, Sasuke-kun will be making wicked love to his girlfriend and…"
Naruto flinched while Sasuke tried his best to look as though the words hadn't affected him. But it did nothing much for the murderous aura coming off of him was far too much evidence that he was not at all pleased by the news. Suddenly, Deidara wished that he hadn't been the one in the middle of this. Damn Itachi for making him the one to spread the bad news.
"Don't argue with me. I don't care if you want to quit, but if you ruin my movie, then I'm going to ruin your career. Do you understand?" The hostility in the blonde director's voice was so full of authority that it was almost funny. One would not expect such a feminine-looking person to be able to manipulate the feeling of comfort into something akin to the lust for bloodshed.
The actor and his partner were led to a room that was darkened with a bed in the middle. The comforter was a blood red and the walls were red and black, giving off bold vibes that very well expressed what the mood should be like. A sinful idea crossed the actor's mind. He pulled the blonde into a tight hug, upsetting the boy who had been far too quiet all along, and kissed him roughly.
"What are you doing, teme?" Naruto tried to ask around the raven's active mouth.
"Mmm…this room makes me want to take you right here and right now…" Noticing that the director was preoccupied, Sasuke dragged the kit to the bed and slowly pressed their forms into the mattress.
As much as the blonde was obliged to object, in favor of not being thrown off the set, he couldn't find the strength to do so. The set had been giving off sensual vibes, and with his boyfriend ever-so-conveniently placed directly beside him, he couldn't keep himself from giving in to the animalistic desire that had overshadowed him once more.
Experimentally, Sasuke lowered himself until his mouth was directly above the blonde's crotch. He kissed the material, noting in the back of his mind how Naruto's hands tried to find purchase in whatever was in his hands reach.
This situation seemed very similar, and for one thing, they were both very confident with the setting, even though they were surely surrounded by a number few who were not to supportive of their lifestyle and a director who got off on watching them from a distance every time they would show even the slightest bit of intimacy.
"Naruto-kun if you don't stop this madness, I'm going to have to ask you to leave the set." The voice erupted from behind them.
Two identical glares made their ways in his direction. He shivered but otherwise remained with his straight face. The couple moved away from each other upon realizing that this would not do anything to change their situation. It was only a few moments later that they realized that their troubles were not yet over.
"What are you talking about?!"
Sasuke reiterated with a very stern look. "I will not do this sex scene."
"If you are merely attempting to send this movie down the drain I can assure you that this will not happen—"
"You've got doubles right, just use them."
"Yes, but you've always done your own scenes!"
"Well, those times have changed. I'm finally in a relationship where I refuse to sully my body for a nobody." Finality rang with each word.
Karin notably flinched, and both took notice. Naruto held back a choking laughter as he realized that she'd thought her relationship with the Uchiha had meant something. If she hadn't already realized that they weren't anything except by label, then she must have been thicker than he thought. Hadn't she wondered why there had never been any explanation for his frigid reactions to her advances, hadn't she ever wondered why he was all too eager to have time without her?
Deidara gave up without much of a fight; it was only because he knew he'd lose. He called in the double, and they began filming. Karin was much more disappointed than she should be and nearly tore off the double's head when he got cocky at being able to film with her.
"Get this straight! I'm only filming with you because Sasuke-kun refuses to! Don't get the idea that you are worth anything!"
The rest of the filming seemed to go without any problems. When they wrapped up, Naruto and Sasuke happily left. In the limo, Naruto began worrying about Akito. He would ask questions so frequently that Sasuke got a headache just thinking about answering a single one of them.
"Do you think he's alright?"
"He's fine. If he's anything like you, dobe, then he should be able to hang on a little while longer." Sasuke said, climbing into bed beside Naruto and turning on the TV.
"Are you sure? I remember one time—" Lips smothered his as he tried to retell a tale that was sure to be somehow dumb.
"Dobe, he's seven and spending the night at a friend's house, not going away to college." Naruto merely pouted in response.
It was later that night that they received a call from their beloved son.
"So, how's filming going, Chichue?"
"It's going well." Naruto gave a flat reply.
"Oh." Akito's eloquent reply left for momentary silence. "What about Otousan?"
"Otousan went a bit haywire when they told him that he had to kiss a girl. He kept insisting that he wouldn't kiss anyone but me." Naruto laughed but the silence on the other end of the phone told him that his child did not believe him in the slightest. "Okay, he didn't say that. But he wasn't too happy about kissing her. So, how are you doing in school? You're not slacking off just because we aren't home are you?"
"Nuh-uh! I got an A on my spelling test this week!" Akito gushed over the phone. "I even got a present from Miki-sensei!"
"That's very good. I'm pleased. You'll keep up the good work, right?" The blonde said sternly.
"Yes sir! Oh, chichue, Midori's mom wants to talk to you."
Naruto waited a moment as the phone changed hands.
"Good evening, Uzumaki-san. How have you been?"
"Oh, I'm fine thank you Miyuki-chan. I'm actually more worried about you at the moment. Having to deal with two boys can't be very easy. Especially when you've got no one else to help you. I'd feel so much better if you'd let me send you some money to help pay for some of Akito's expenses."
"Oh, it's no trouble at all. You really don't have to do that! I have no problem with keeping him." The woman objected. "I know that Midori has been dying to have Akito over for a while."
"Are you sure?" There was still something that made Naruto very uneasy about leaving a single parent alone with two boys who could easily eat their way out of her pocket money.
"It's fine. I just hope that your business trip is going well."
"We're getting a lot accomplished, which is a relief. I might even get a promotion sometime soon." He joked lightly.
"That's good." She answered sincerely, hoping that he would get a higher pay to support his son.
He nodded in response to what she was saying, trying to ignore the looks that his boyfriend was sending him. When the raven nipped his earlobe he gave an indignant cry, causing the woman on the other end to halt her words.
"I'm sorry Uzumaki-san; I hope that I'm not interrupting anything. I'll go ahead and let you go now."
"It's nothing." He glared at Sasuke who merely held an innocent look on his face. "I'll talk to you later Miyuki-chan."
"Goodnight, Uzumaki-san."
"What the hell was that all about, teme?"
Sasuke pulled him into a kiss, long, passionate, and soul-stirring. "I was just reminding you of who you belong to."
"Bastard." The blonde said before lunging at the other.

Well, I apologize for the lateness. But with my soccer season kicking into full gear, I cannot promise direct updates. If this causes any sort of inconvenience for you, I apologize. I'm sure to be losing even more readers, but I hope that you can find another author who can fulfill your ridiculously nitpicky desires.
I posted the Edward x Bella fanfiction, for those who were interested. It'd be nice to get some reviews on that too...
I hope that I get some more reviews for this story as well. I realize that it's a bit tiring, and that some of you are too damn lazy to want to sign in or type one, but it means a lot me. And it might get you a faster review… (bribe, bribe)
Next Chapter: Fighting for love is one thing, but when that fighting becomes a full-out war, it's time to bring out the heavy guns.
1- Means 'nice to meet you'.
