Warnings: Yaoi ahead!! Proceed with utmost attention. Lol.

Chapter 9. When You Kiss Me
Naruto's nimble fingers ran over every inch of Itachi's hot skin as the older male ground his hips against him. Their erections rubbed against each other as they moved together in feverish ecstasy
He let out a sudden gasp as he came all over Itachi's stomach. The other male smirked as he lifted Naruto's legs before putting his member teasingly by Naruto's hole.
"Ita-Itachi." he moaned as the other man took him swiftly.
Naruto was tight and hot and he felt so good as he moved around inside the genin.
Once he was in, he bent lower and rained kisses on Naruto's face, lips, eyelids, and cheeks.
He inched out slowly, making a slow procession of their sex, before entering Naruto again at the same sluggish speed. The genin, however, had different ideas. Naruto tried moving his body down so that Itachi would enter him faster but Itachi caught him swiftly by the hips.
'This could be it, I think I'm in love
It's love this time
It just seems to fit, I think I'm in love
This love is mine.'
"Mm, mm, mm." he said with a smirk as he readjusted himself before entering Naruto again.
"P-please, Itachi." Naruto's soft whimper made Itachi smile.
"I want this to be good for you." he said as he left Naruto's tight hole.
"Faster." the genin moaned, motioning for him to continue.
Itachi proceeded slower still, cautiously entering the younger boy before filling him completely. He struck Naruto's prostate, earning a semi-coherent gasp from the other boy as his length began to harden again.
Naruto bent forward and flipped around so that he was on his hands and knees. Itachi entered him swiftly before reaching a hand to the genin's member and stroking it softly with one hand.
The genin gasped as the older man continued rubbing his penis while still moving within him. The combination overwhelmed his senses and he soon came again, this time all over Itachi's hand. The older male thrust once more before leaving Naruto's tight hole.
He brought his slender hand up to the genin who then licked the come from it. Itachi swallowed some as well before laying down so that Naruto could suck his cock.
His member twitched as he felt Naruto's heated breath blow gently over it. Itachi let out a low moan as the genin all but pounced upon his penis. He let the edge of his teeth graze over the head before moving down and taking all of him into his mouth. He sucked lightly at first, then in varying pressures.
The older male closed his eyes as Naruto sucked on him languidly, enjoying the sensation immensely. He loved being near the genin so much. Loved everything about him. The way his hair blew in the not-quite-autumn breeze. The way he spoke gently about everything, even when he was excited. Something about him just touched his jaded heart in a way no one ever had before.
'I can see you with me when I'm older
All my lonely nights are finally over
You took the weight of the world off my
Shoulders ( the world just goes away)
Oh, when you kiss me.'
Itachi thrust his hips upwards, making Naruto deep-throat him as he came quite suddenly. Naruto smirked as he swallowed the white liquid before shifting up to kiss the other male and letting him get a taste of his own come.
"Oh man. That was great." Naruto said as he lay down on top of Itachi, completely spent after half-an-hour of sex.
"Speak for yourself." murmured an angry Kisame.
Said shark-man was currently lying all the way against the opposite wall with a large pillow scrunched over his face.
"You didn't have to listen to it all." he said, climbing to his feet. "I'm...going out. I'll be back later."
He swung the door shut behind him with such vigorous force that it shook on its hinges.
Naruto and Itachi looked at each other guiltily before silently snickering. Naruto's laughter became full-blown and only moments later he was rolling around on the bed with tears streaming down his cheeks. Itachi chuckled in a much more dignified manner.
"Yes, I suppose we should have been more...considerate." said Itachi, chuckling again.
"We? T-There is no "w-w-we" in this. Y-You started it." Naruto said between bouts of hysterical laughter.
"Who, me?" Itachi asked, feigning innocence. "Never."
Naruto cracked up even more. He took huge gasping breaths, trying to get some air into his oxygen-deprived lungs. He started to cough suddenly and Itachi was by his side in an instant.
"Are you alright?" he asked, patting his lover on the back gently.
"Y-Y-Yeah." replied the blonde, calming down at once. "When do you think Kisame will be back?"
A small frown of concern marred his sharply defined features. Naruto reached over and made him smile by pulling his lips up with his fingers. Itachi's dead serious expression sent Naruto careening into non-stop laughter.
"Y-You s-s-should have s-s-seen your f-face." he exclaimed while rubbing the tears from his eyes.
He was quickly silenced by a strong kiss from the older male that sent lust pooling through his naked body.
"How can you still have energy after all that?" asked Naruto. Muttering to himself, he said, "Uchiha Itachi is the horniest man alive."
"I heard that." said the older man.
He crawled over Naruto's body until he was breathing in his face.
"But why don't you say that to my face?"
"No!"
"Or else."
"Or else what?"
Uchiha Itachi sat back, seemingly contemplative for a moment.
"Or else I will do this."
He pounced on Naruto, pinning the genin to the floor on his stomach. Itachi swiftly entered him from behind and then leaned against Naruto with all of his weight before biting the genin on the side of his neck firmly.
'I know you miss me--
and when you're with me
the world just goes away
The way you hold me
The way you show me that you
Adore me--oh, when you kiss me
Oh yeah.'
"Eep!" cried Naruto. "You're...squishing...me. Get...off." he spoke between breaths.
"I believe I'm already doing that." Itachi said with wry humor.
He squirmed and struggled to get the older man off of him, but the more he moved, the harder Itachi bit down. Finally the blonde genin gave up, flopping his head down to signal his surrender. Itachi removed his teeth and lapped up the small amount of spilt blood before kissing the area tenderly.
They set about getting dressed so that they would be decent before Kisame came home. Yes. They had a home now. They lived on the border of the Snow Country, which was very far away from the Land of Fire. Itachi figured that Konohagakure would not send any ninja, genin or ANBU, after them all the way to the Land of...Oh hell, he didn't even know which Land he was in. He supposed it was the uppermost part of the Land of Lightning, but he couldn't be sure.
Anyways, their house was a small country cottage built around a wood-burning stove that kept them all very warm indeed. A chimney sat in the middle of the house while the rest was divided into five rooms. Kisame had a room to himself while Naruto and Itachi shared the second bedroom. Then there was a kitchen, a rather large bathroom that sat beside Kisame's room, and a living room with a hallway that cut the house into fourths.
Naruto and Itachi's room was painted a shade of light blue with several antique yellow lamps located around it. There was one on Itachi's side of the bed, another one on Naruto's side, and then there was a third one sitting on the dresser they shared. Dark red flowers outlined in brown were painted onto the skirt-like glass lampshade.
A single strip of delicate yellow wallpaper decorated with daffodils bordered the walls. It gave the room a soft chic look, as though it had been there for ages while time flew steadily by in ignorance.
Kisame had painted his room black and used his Akatsuki cloak to make a curtain falling over the single window that hung just above his dresser. His bed was located to the right of the window so that it was in the darkest corner furthest from the door. Now, Kisame wouldn't readily admit it, but he'd spent about a thousand yen and bought a playstation 2 and a couple of sniper games. He played it whenever he had the chance.
"Want to go for a walk, love?" Itachi asked while pulling on a dark blue sweater that brought out his raven highlights.
"Sure."
The genin zipped up his orange jacket over a plain black sweater before walking over to the door.
"Hold my hand?" Itachi asked, feeling more than ever like a lovesick teenager, but then again, the genin tended to make him like that.
Naruto's eyes brightened, dancing with an inner fire once thought to have been destroyed by years of hidden depression. He slid his hand nervously into the pale one beside him as they opened the door together.
'You are the one, I think I'm in love
Life has begun.'
The snowy wind whipped around them, picking at their clothes like a child searching through a crayon box. They walked together hand-in-hand and bent over against the breeze that seemed to have a life of its own. Naruto wanted to run ahead, but his hand had other plans. It sneaked down to Itachi's nether regions and squeezed slightly before he darted forward so that the missing-nin had no time to react. His eyes darkened as he gazed at Naruto lustfully.
"You shouldn't have done that," he growled warningly as he began to give chase to Naruto.
They ran through the snow-covered coniferous trees, sprinting through them. Itachi soon caught up to Naruto who was no match for his speed and kissed him long and hard beneath a pine tree. Some of the soft snow fell on top of them as they toppled to the ground. Itachi breathed on his hand to warm it before sending it on a short journey up his sweater.
"Meep."
"I love it when you do that." Itachi said huskily as he kissed Naruto on the lips again.
Naruto used the other man's weight to flip him over before his lips descended upon the older man's. It was a long passionate kiss filled with the playful darting of tongues.
"I love you, koi," said Naruto after they finally parted.
Itachi moved so that he was sitting against the rough bark of a tree before bringing Naruto to his chest. The genin sat between his legs with his head resting under the older man's chin.
"I love you too," he whispered breathily into Naruto's ear. "And I always will."
As the perpetually chilly wind blew around them, it sifted through a mass of golden locks, fingering them gently before tossing them into the air. Itachi wrapped an arm around Naruto to keep him close. Together they snuggled under the pine tree, breathing in the scents of clean snow, fresh pine, and each other as they interlinked hands and fell fast asleep in the wintry world.
'I can see the two of us together
I know I'm gonna be with you forever
Love couldn't be any better.'
Winter in Konoha...
Sasuke stared blankly out of the windows on the psychiatric unit of Konohagakure's hospital as snow blew through the small city. The snow-covered streets were devoid of any and all signs of life. Just like his eyes. He didn't know it, but his coal eyes had changed since the day of his suicide attempt.
Two weeks after being admitted to the hospital, he finally woke up from his semi-self-induced coma. The scars on his wrists marked the tragedy that was now his life. The memories would never fade. The alcohol. The mindless, reckless, stupid swallowing of pills. He was tumbling into a world that consisted of nothing but blades, blood, and bandages.
He had become a self-harmer. He was currently bandaged from elbow to wrist to prevent him from picking at his self-inflicted injuries again.
"What's wrong with you, kid? You've been staring into space there for hours."
"Leave him be, Sai." said the kind nurse who was currently on duty watching the two of them.
The black-haired boy sat back down and munched on a package of cheese and peanut butter crackers.
"Must you watch us all the time?" he asked as he put his feet on top of the small rectangular table that held DVDs.
"Sai, please put your feet down. And Sasuke is entitled to do what he wants, within the confines of the rules, of course."
"Whatever. Why are there so many rules here? No razors. No perfumes. No shoelaces. What am I going to do with a shoelace? Hang myself?"
"Sai! Look at your arms if you want a reason to believe we shouldn't allow razorblades."
Sai looked down to the dozens of lines that crisscrossed over his arms and sighed.
' Oh when you kiss me
I know you miss me--
and when you're with me
The world just goes away
The way you show me that you
adore me--oh, when you kiss me.
Oh, yeah.'
"I don't see anything wrong." he said, glaring at her with hazy charcoal eyes.
"That's why you are here, Sai. Or do you just not want to get out? You've been here for three months," said the nurse before taking a bite of her own peanut butter and cheese crackers.
"Actually, getting out of here seems like a nice idea."
"Well." began the nurse. "Then behave and start talking to your psychiatrist."
"Whatever." he said.
Sasuke hadn't said a word for hours and the nurse was concerned for his safety.
"Are you thinking safe thoughts, Sasuke?" Kimiko asked.
"Safe thoughts, my ass." Sasuke replied finally.
"Come with me."
'Naruto...I miss you.' he thought as he followed the nurse out of the room.
"Tell me what's going on, honey. We just want to help you get better. That's the only reason you're here."
"I..." he was about to say, "I don't care." but the words, "I miss Naruto." played over and over in his head like a scratched up record.
"Bite me," he said at last, turning to walk away.
Kimiko sighed as Sasuke headed towards his designated room in the hospital. He was such a difficult person to talk to. Especially since he wasn't the person he used to be. After the attempt, he had become a very troubled teen with few words to express what was truly going on inside his heart.
'I can see you with me when I'm older
All my lonely nights are over
You took the weight of the world off my
shoulders ( the world just goes away)'
He missed Naruto. A lot. And until the genin returned to the place he once called home, Sasuke refused to stop hurting himself. He had somehow managed to convince his mind that Naruto should take the blame for his current misery. If he hadn't left, the genin reasoned, then I wouldn't have tried to kill myself, and if I wouldn't have tried to kill myself, then I wouldn't have ended up here.
The food wasn't bad at the hospital. Although ninja and townspeople alike came in for various reasons, the hospital was hardly ever half full. And the psychiatric ward...well, it had its perks. For once, he didn't depend on missions for a monthly stipend. He was getting paid a small amount for compensation though he was supposed to be getting "better" for it.
He was seriously starting to hate the word, "better." It made no sense to him. What was "better"? What was the point of getting "better" if he had nothing to live for? Sasuke sighed as he flopped down on the mattress that was in his room.
He shut his eyes and tried to sleep, but the blissful unconscious world refused to come to him. He felt Kimiko pass by once or twice just to check on him. Finally on the third try, she walked into the room and sat on the empty bed beside his own.
"Do you want something to help you sleep?" asked Kimiko.
Sasuke sighed and turned over so that he was facing her. His eyes were dark and full of pain.
"Please." he said at last.
"Alright. Come with me to the nurse's station. I'll have Miss. Akane give you a Seroquel."
He followed her once more down to the nurse's station where he quickly downed two pills before heading back to his room. He sat down on his bed with the navy blue comforter and stared at the too-white walls. Hospital walls...That's what they were.
Thirty minutes into his thoughts he found his eyelids getting heavier. He crawled under the stiff covers and fell asleep quickly, oblivious to the obsidian eyes watching him from the door.
Sai walked in after he was sure that Sasuke was sound asleep. He was determined to get the genin to like him, but that was easier said than done. Sasuke was sweet, but far from innocent. The scars on his wrists told him that much.
He gazed out through the open windows and saw the white, white world that Konoha had become. He glanced at Sasuke who was sleeping quite calmly although obviously cold judging by the way he huddled under the covers. Sai smiled a small smile, the one that hadn't been used in almost a decade, and tore his comforter from his bed. He threw it gently on top of Sasuke's prone form.
'Oh, when you kiss me
I know you miss me—
And when you're with me
the world just goes away.
The way you hold me
The way you show me that you
adore me--, when you kiss me
Oh, yeah.'
Then he shut the navy curtains before climbing into his own bed and falling asleep promptly under the thin sheets. So what if he was cold? If his secret crush was warm, then he was happy, and in his life happiness was truly a rare thing indeed.
'And when you kiss me
I know you miss me
Oh, the world just goes away
When you kiss me..'
