Well, here we are, and within twenty-four hours, as promised, I believe. I was going to be mean and divide it again, since it's so long, but you've all been waiting so patiently that it would have just been cruel to keep you hanging on again. So here is Valentine's Day, Part Two.
Enjoy.
**LEMON WARNING** (Just sayin'). Also featuring Itachi getting the crap embarrassed out of him by a scheming Deidara...
"He said 'son can you play me a memory…I'm not really sure how it goes…" Itachi sang along with the live pianist that was creating the fitting atmosphere in the bar. Currently, there were three people sitting in the bar; two men and a woman. The woman had been approached by one of the men, and they'd been sharing drinks for about an hour how. The other man was Gaara; dressed in a baggy maroon dress shirt and dark jeans.
"Wow," Gaara commented, looking around at the combination of red, black, white and pink decorations; sheets hanging down from the walls and paper hearts dangling from the ceiling, "You really know how to set the mood, Naruto."
"This is the Lonely Night Out," Naruto reminded him pointedly, "We don't want loved-up couples coming in and making everyone feel more bitter about their forever-aloneness, do we?"
"Fair enough," Gaara admitted into his drink with a sigh. "No luck with the date this year, then?"
"Not at all," Naruto grumbled, "I just can't catch a break! It's like something's been sabotaging me my entire life!"
"No way," Itachi commented flatly, "However can you think that? Who would do such a thing as to sabotage you from finding dates? No one I know, at all…"
"I know, right!" Naruto squawked. Gaara and Itachi, though they barely knew each other, just exchanged looks and sighed heavily. "Where's Deidara?"
"…Resting…" Itachi commented irritably.
"Again?"
"…He's having a bit of trouble walking," his boss informed him unsympathetically. The door to the kitchen was kicked open as Deidara limped out; obviously having had heard his name, followed by mocking.
"I am fine," he snapped crossly; wincing as he moved. He grimaced and leaned heavily on the couch.
"…Do you like, want some aspirin or something?" Naruto offered kindly, since Itachi obviously thought that Deidara deserved to suffer for the moment. "Seriously, what, have you been having sex like all day or something?"
"…Don't make me answer that," Deidara grumbled; closing his eyes in shame.
"All day?" Itachi commented in disbelief.
"He's very persuasive, yeah…" the blonde muttered, his cheeks flushing red. "Anyway, when I got out of the shower to get ready for work, he was gone, yeah, so that's probably the last I'll see of him." He shrugged disinterestedly, though both Itachi and Naruto heard the slight disappointment in his voice.
" –Don't worry, Dei," Naruto chuckled; clapping him on the shoulder and sniggering a little when Deidara winced in discomfort at the gesture, "…There are so many fish in the sea, and you seem to be able to turn most of them gay, so we'll find you someone, I'm sure. Gaara?" Deidara and Gaara turned to look at each other for a moment before both shaking their heads apologetically.
"No," they agreed, "Too cute." Naruto just shrugged, as if to say, 'well, I tried.'
"How about you, Itachi, yeah?" Deidara remarked slyly with a nod across the bar to the redhead, "Or is tonight the night that you cave and make sweet, sweet love to the hunky bouncer?"
"There will be no making love," Itachi growled firmly.
" –Fine then; are you going to cave and let him rabidly fuck you against a door?" he rephrased, causing both Gaara and Naruto to snort into their drinks. Itachi gripped the bench tightly and glared at the two bartenders, "Well hey, it's better than a lonely night at home with porn and your vi –"
"That's enough, Deidara!" Itachi's voice approached an octave higher than usual as he stalked off to welcome the tear-stained woman who had just entered the bar alone. His face softened as he immediately shouted her a drink and settled down to listen to her story.
"Oh please tell me you were going to say what I think you were going to say," Naruto cackled into his hand.
"Hell yeah," Deidara chortled wickedly.
"I think his reaction indicates that you just hit the nail on the head about his plans for later on," Gaara commented with an awkward cough; Deidara and Naruto sniggering away and Itachi's ears turning red with both anger and embarrassment.
About half an hour later, they actually started to get a bit busier. The pianist was playing a beautiful rendition of 'Fix You' by Coldplay, and there was a low hum of people sharing Valentine's Day failures, and the sound of loneliness filling the air. The boxes of tissues, make-up wipes and the number of teary-eyed women increased exponentially.
"On me," Naruto informed the guy he'd been listening to, sliding a cider across the bar, "From the sound of it, she wasn't worth it, man. If she ran off with some other guy, she obviously didn't appreciate you. Now you're free to find someone who you deserve."
"You think?"
"I know," he assured him, "It's gonna be hard to move on after all the emotion you've invested in her, but this is gonna prove to be right for you. We all have to find that person we deserve, and who deserves us. And she did not deserve you, my good man." The man looked up at him gratefully and accepted the drink with a small smile; wandering over to the pianist to request a sing.
"Poor guy," Naruto murmured to Gaara sadly as he watched Deidara sitting at a table of obviously-single women and joined in complaining about the inconsistency of men and how they were only after one thing, and why was it so hard to find a guy who wanted to stick around. "Girlfriend left him for another man. Told him that this new guy; when she saw him, she just knew that he was the one."
"I thought you were all about that?" Gaara commented flatly.
"Well yeah, but when handled properly," Naruto reminded him, "Heartbreak's a fact of life…but no one deserves to get screwed over…"
" –Tch…" Gaara scoffed, "She saw the guy and just knew? That's fairy-tale shit right there. Please…She probably just found the new guy more attractive. Love at first sight isn't a real thing."
"Finally…someone who agrees with me," a snobby voice commented haughtily, and Naruto looked up in time to see Neji taking a seat at the bar. The Hyuuga was presented as well as ever; looking more crisp than usual, if that was possible. "Naruto, you're not spouting that love crap again are you?"
"Neji, it's Valentine's Day, and it's me," Naruto pointed out with a short laugh.
"…He's like a preacher on Christmas," Gaara snorted dryly, taking a deep scull of his cider. "It's exhausting, but I'm used to it."
"…Naruto does get carried away with his speeches about love, doesn't he?" Neji commented, "Tequila. Now."
"Yes, sir," Naruto saluted with a chuckle; producing two shot glasses from thin air after seeing Gaara nod to join in the round. "Gaara, Neji doesn't believe in love. He thinks that people just stick around someone for so long that they wind up convincing themselves they've fallen in love."
"Well…I at least believe it exists," Gaara shrugged, reaching for his drink, "But familiarity has to have something to do with it, I guess…"
"Valentine's Day is absurd…" Neji muttered.
"I'll drink to that," the redhead admitted, "Who are you, sorry?"
"Oh, how rude of me," Naruto exclaimed, "Gaara, meet Neji. Neji, this is Gaara. I'll leave the bottle so you guys can bond over how amazing I am and how much you hate Valentine's Day!" Neji glared at the blonde, before taking his shot. He and Gaara clinked glasses and knocked the tequila back before lowering their empty glasses very slowly; gazes locked.
"…Naruto…what are you up to?" Deidara inquired; not trusting the angelic look the blonde was wearing as he merrily skipped past.
"Oh that?" Naruto commented lightly, "Just call me Cupid, coz I can turn cynics into romantics. Believe it!" Deidara just groaned in exasperation, shaking his head.
"But isn't Neji like the biggest cynic in the world, yeah?"
"You sorely underestimate the power of love, Deidara, my friend," Naruto chuckled, "Now, let's all get really drunk; how does that sound?"
"Absolutely perfect."
" –Did someone mention getting fucking hammered?" a familiar voice suddenly remarked, and all three bartenders looked up in surprise to see Hidan striding into the bar with his hands clasped behind his back.
"What are you doing here, yeah?" Deidara snapped snidely, "Thought you'd decided to piss off after fucking me?"
"You think I'm way more fucking heartless than I am, you know?" Hidan snorted, rolling his eyes and planting both hands on the bar. In one hand there was a rose, and a takeaway box in the other. Deidara looked at the two items in confusion. "…I went to fucking get you dinner while you were in the shower, Deidara…" the man sighed heavily, "…It took longer than I thought, and when I got back, you were fucking gone." Deidara's mouth fell open in disbelief.
"Asshole!" he snapped; cuffing him over the back of the head violently, "You could've told me! Or called me?"
"I wanted to fucking surprise you, okay?" Hidan yelped, "…And you never gave me your fucking number…" Deidara's mouth snapped shut with a guilty click; remembering that detail quite clearly. "I would've dropped by here sooner, but I had to find somewhere that wasn't out of bloody roses…" He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly and pushed the gifts across the bench.
"Uhh…happy Valentine's Day."
Deidara paused for a long moment. "…And could I maybe grab that fucking number; I'd kinda like to call you." Without another word; Deidara lunged across the bar and grabbed the other man by the neck and reeled him in for a deep kiss.
Hidan pumped his fist triumphantly as he kissed back sensually; the blonde moaning a little as their tongues met.
"God, get your cute, happy shit out of my bar," Itachi grumbled flatly as Deidara pulled back slightly; and the pair of them just…stared at each other for a moment. Naruto felt his stomach lurch as he recognised that exact look that both of them were wearing. What was…
" –Someone said something about drinking," Hidan interrupted his thoughts with a grin, and Deidara pushed his face away in irritation as he brandished a bottle of vodka. "Shots for everyone in here, on me."
It was only nine o'clock but the scent of alcohol was strong in the air. The karaoke had already started –Valentine's Day was one of the few nights of the year that people would feel perfectly comfortable singing sad, sappy songs with complete strangers. As Naruto busied himself with trying to get Itachi drunk, some poor guy and girl had found that they both had a passion for The Cure and were currently singing along to 'Pictures of You'. He looked up as the door opened; plying Itachi with another row of vodka shots.
"What are you doing here?" he immediately inquired in surprise, when he realised that the person currently approaching the bar was Sasuke Uchiha.
"Getting a drink," came Sasuke's indifferent reply.
"…Didn't you have a date?" Naruto sniffed; trying to keep the bitterness from his voice.
"Didn't work out," the raven shrugged vaguely and Naruto sighed heavily; adding a shot glass to the line he was preparing. "What's new?"
" –Deidara and Hidan are apparently dating; Neji and Gaara have been chatting for almost two hours, and if someone requests 'White Flag' by Dido one more time, I think I'm going to go nuts," Naruto sighed. Sasuke just shrugged as though none of this was really that interesting. "How about you? What was she like? Why didn't it work out?"
"I knew it wasn't right," was all Sasuke would say on the matter. Naruto groaned in annoyance at the raven's refusal to indulge his curiosity. "…Are you trying to get my brother drunk?" he added with a raised eyebrow as he and the blonde both knocked back two vodka shots in quick succession.
"Desperately," Naruto affirmed, "He's been looking at the door every like thirty seconds for about two hours now, and it's driving me and Deidara insane." Sasuke gave him a dry look and peered over his shoulder to where it was largely apparent that Hidan had Deidara pressed up against a wall and was kissing the life out of him. "…Okay, so it's driving me insane."
"Understandably," Sasuke chuckled in amusement. "So I take it you haven't found your 'true love' here tonight?" Naruto just shook his head dejectedly as he started fixing them a drink.
"There've been a lot of nice women," he admitted with a shrug, "But…none of them were, you know…right. Ugh…sometimes it makes me just wanna quit looking, you know?"
"…The Naruto Uzumaki I know doesn't quit," Sasuke scoffed mockingly and Naruto glared at him.
"Shut up, you bastard," Naruto snapped, sticking out his tongue and beginning to rant, "It's exhausting! I thought that you know, when I fell in love, I'd know just instantly; but it's so hard! I mean, what if I just haven't been looking hard enough and just glanced over that person? Maybe I just really have no idea what love is like! I'm twenty-five years old; the closest I've ever been to actually falling in love was Sakura, in high school –and really, that was just a crush. I'm here dealing out advice on love to crying, lonely women, when I'm incurably single; a hopeless romantic, and the closest I've ever come to a stable relationship is you! I probably wouldn't know my true love if it was standing right in front of me, with neon signs and a brass band….and Lycra." Sasuke outwardly cringed; resting his face into the palm of his hand.
"Well, you are so right about that that it is physically painful for everyone around you," the Uchiha informed him dryly, "…But you're being melodramatic." Naruto let out a deep breath and nodded.
"Yeah, I am, aren't I?" he chuckled sheepishly, before clapping his hands together, "There's still so much time left in the night! Sasuke, you can help me by talking me up to any available women that approach you; got it?" He was about to say something else, but spied a mascara-stained young woman approaching the bar looking as though she was about to burst out crying all over again. Immediately, Naruto darted off to grab the makeup wipes and a margarita.
"A hundred bucks each says I can get Itachi to fuck Kisame, yeah," Deidara bet gleefully as he shared shots with Naruto and Sasuke at the bar a bit later on when the sobbing had subsided for the meantime and the karaoke was actually not too bad.
"You're kidding, right?" Naruto snorted, "There's no way in hell you can do that! Right, Sasuke?" Sasuke just scoffed under his breath.
"Then you stand to be a hundred bucks richer, yeah," Deidara chuckled slyly. Naruto and Sasuke exchanged curious glances. Deidara looked very confident, and they'd been trying to get this to happen for some time…
"I'll take that bet," the blonde eventually decided, "You're on." Sasuke just nodded shortly, "Sasuke's in, too."
" –You two just watch and learn, yeah," Deidara smirked.
Itachi sighed heavily, blinking a few times to clear his head a little as he approached the bar. Damn that bratty Uzumaki, trying to get him drunk. He'd thought he had a higher tolerance than this…
The tray landed on the bar with a light clink as he finished clearing the latest round of drinks.
"Good to see you back behind the bar," he commented dryly to Deidara, whose limp had apparently worsened in recent times. "...Are you and Hidan quite finished?"
"…Oh you're so funny, Itachi," Deidara snapped, "…I sent him home, yeah. I'm glad he wants to stick around but god my ass cannot take another pounding tonight." He grinned wickedly, "…Yours though, could probably do with a good stret –"
"Shut up, Deidara," Itachi growled darkly, before glaring down the bar at Naruto and Sasuke, who were sniggering expectantly. "Don't encourage him –Sasuke what are you…oh right, silly me. Why do I even bother asking…" He rolled his eyes.
"…What's he talking about?" Naruto inquired curiously.
"Nothing."
"Go on, Itachi, yeah," Deidara urged evilly, nodding over to where Kisame was having a beer with an attractive woman over on the couches at the back of the room. "…Think of how much better the real thing is compared to a –"
"Stop it. Shut up," Itachi hissed, "I do not have…That is none of your business."
"…I really didn't want to know that about my brother," Sasuke deadpanned; glaring over at Deidara.
"…This is never going to work," Naruto muttered as a low chuckle.
" –When was the last time you had sex, yeah?" Deidara persisted innocently, "I mean, god are you going to be tight now. You're going to be able to feel every throb of his thick –"
"DEIDARA!"
" –Unless of course you've been practicing," the blonde murmured in a low, knowing tone, "He's bound to be hung, yeah. Just imagine what it'd be like riding that. Mmm…" He let out a soft purr as Itachi started turning red, "…The way he'd move deep inside you, yeah…Bet you like it deep, Itachi, am I right? Bet you'd want him spreading you open and –"
"I don't need to listen to this shit!" Itachi growled; his voice actually rising with anger as he began to walk away.
" –You're imagining it, yeah, aren't you, Itachi?" Deidara's voice grew in volume, "How he'd bend you over the table right there and push his enormous cock into you. You'll be so tight so you'll tell him to stop; but you won't want him to, yeah, because sometimes you like it when it hurts…" Itachi was trying to block out the blonde's words, but it was becoming more difficult because people were beginning to stare.
" –And it feels too good to have something inside you again –" Deidara's voice grew louder again. Both Sasuke and Naruto were finding themselves going red –both from embarrassment and from trying to hold in their laughter. "With his hand around your cock, you'll scream his name…And then the feeling when he cums inside you…" All of a sudden, he found a hand clamped across his mouth and Itachi's horrified eyes leering at him from only millimetres away.
"I will do literally anything for you to never, ever speak like that around me again," Itachi practically begged.
"Why?" Deidara commented cheekily, "Is it turning you on, yeah?"
"Anything," Itachi repeated, "Just stop. Stop."
"I'll stop," the blonde assured him simply; letting Itachi look thoroughly relieved for a brief moment before adding, "If you go straddle Kisame right now and make out with him." His boss's expression darkened all over again.
"Not happening."
" –And when you feel his cum leak from…"
"Fine!" Itachi snapped in alarm as Deidara immediately looked at him expectantly. "…How long…how long do I have to…"
"Three minutes."
"Three minutes?"
"Take it or get ready to hear some hot gay sex, yeah," Deidara smirked, "I'll use names; and that's not a bluff, yeah."
" –That's it; I'm firing you," Itachi growled darkly, "When did you become Suigetsu? I thought he was the one with the dirty mouth."
"Nah, it was always Deidara," Naruto assured him with a snigger, "…It's just that his was always occupied…" Deidara flicked his middle finger at the blonde but looked at Itachi expectantly.
"On that note; I think I'm qualified to give detailed play-by-plays of blow jobs, yeah," Deidara sniffed; folding his arms.
"Three minutes," Itachi glared; jabbing a finger at him, "…When I get back; I'm firing you. This is fucking harassment." He flung his tea towel at the blonde aggressively, before turning on his heel and beginning to stalk over to Kisame.
"…I underestimated you," Naruto breathed. "Did you take it too far?"
"Nah," Sasuke assured him, "Itachi knows he wants it…"
"…Are we going to time him?" Naruto inquired curiously.
"No need," Deidara smirked wickedly.
Itachi let out a quick breath as he stalked over to Kisame. He couldn't believe he was about to do this, especially under blackmail. But he had no doubt that Deidara would carry out his threat…and continue to hound him forever if he didn't put an end to this right now.
"Itachi," Kisame greeted with a brief nod. Itachi just looked down his nose at him and looked at the woman he was with, with a touch of disdain.
" –If you have any objection to homosexuality, I suggest you depart," he informed her flatly.
"I'm good. I was quite enjoying the blonde bartender's play through actually," she remarked. Itachi paled with the realisation that they could hear Deidara from back here. Kisame was watching him curiously.
"…Might I inquire as to who Deidara was talking about?" he asked innocently.
"No," Itachi snapped, and then grimaced, "…To avoid potential sexual harassment claims…I'm going to ask…if I can straddle you…" Kisame actually snickered and looked over Itachi's shoulder to see the three other staff members giving him a thumbs up.
"Make yourself comfortable," Kisame commented; gesturing at his lap invitingly. Gritting his teeth, Itachi slowly approached the couch; sinking a knee down to one side of Kisame's thighs and then mounting him in one swift movement; arms placed to either side of his head.
"I'm guessing those kids had something to do this and you're being manipulated against your will," Kisame remarked conversationally.
"Got it in one," Itachi sniffed haughtily.
"I'll try to make this as painless as possible," he replied mockingly. "…Although if I go by what Deidara was saying –" Itachi, not wanting to be reminded of this, quickly leaned in and pressed his lips up against the bouncer's, silencing him and mentally counting the seconds go by.
Kisame began kissing back; their mouths pressing together perfectly in deep, languid movements. Itachi felt a tongue trail roughly against the seam of his lips and found himself allowing it to delve into his mouth. Big hands gripped his sides as his hands, once gripping the couch, slowly slid around Kisame's neck.
Heat began to pool in Itachi's gut as he became hyperaware of the thick thighs beneath him; Deidara's words coming flooding back unbidden.
He's bound to be hung. Imagine riding him…Unconsciously, Itachi shifted so that their hips were pressed closer together; rising slightly to force the kiss into a better angle. Bet you like it deep, Itachi…The heat grew more intense; pouring through his system as he gripped Kisame's hair tightly and his kisses became hungrier. Their chests collided as Kisame's tongue ravaged his mouth fiercely; Itachi's hips rolling up against the other man's groin. You're imagining it, aren't you?
He was very definitely imagining it, and it was not difficult to imagine. Hell, he'd been imagining it and dreaming about it for far too long now, and trying to deny such things. As he moved against Kisame; he ran a hand down his chest; felt the rippling abs and muscles beneath his shirt. His hips moved on their own accord; grinding slowly but forcefully down against the other man's. Kisame's hands were running along his back; gripping his long hair tightly and lingering on his lower back. Annoyed at the teasing, one of Itachi's hands viciously grabbed one of Kisame's and planted it securely on his ass. He let out a low moan into the other man's mouth as he felt thick digits grip his flesh tightly, before one slid down the seam of his ass with pressure in just the right places.
…How many seconds had passed? He'd lost count. Better start again.
"I never thought I'd see the day that my brother dry humped a man in public," Sasuke deadpanned; Naruto's mouth already having fallen open.
"Holy shit, Deidara," the blonde commented as Itachi's mouth left Kisame's and kissed down his neck sensually; Kisame leaning back and enjoying the attention; both of his hands now comfortably against the raven's ass. "How'd you know…"
"I know a bit about denial, yeah," Deidara cringed crossly. "Just a little taste…and control's gone…" He looked pointedly at Sasuke, who chose to promptly ignore the comment. "Itachi will be getting laid tonight." Naruto made a noise of complaint.
"It's not fair," he grumbled; pouting. "…You got sex, Sakura's probably having sex. Suigetsu…well, maybe…Sasuke, you could've totally been having sex; even Neji and Gaara are pashing in the corner…" He slumped down onto the bar, "And here I am; drinking with the bastard who could have any girl he wants yet stays single."
"Yeah, funny that," Deidara commented dryly.
"Neji and Gaara?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow and Naruto jerked a thumb in the direction of the booths, where it was apparent that the brunette and Gaara were vigorously sucking face.
" –Well…I've seen dozens of settling couples leaving tonight," the raven commented, "…So you've done a good thing."
"Yeah," Naruto murmured with a small smile, "I guess so. As long as other people ended up happy, I guess I'm good too." He made a queasy noise, "…But maybe I shouldn't have drank so much."
The door suddenly opened, and the three of them looked around and were surprised to see Suigetsu making an appearance with a pretty redhead hanging off his arm. He waved to them and made a beeline for the bar.
"Hey; what're you doing here?" Naruto inquired flatly, "…Hey Karin; how's the date?"
"Kinda funny; cute enough to sleep with once I've had a few more drinks," she shrugged disinterestedly, "…Beats going home alone."
" –Settling is what I aim for," Suigetsu shrugged with a smirk, "Yo, Dei; impressive hickeys –and…holy shit, is that Itachi dry humping Kisame?"
"Hidan's fault," Naruto pointed at Deidara's neck, "…Deidara's fault." His finger gestured in the direction of Kisame and Itachi's impassioned making out. Suigetsu made a face as if to say, 'not bad' and helped himself to one of the bottles of tequila.
" –Well, Karin says she's not drunk enough to sleep with me yet, so…we're having drinks," he informed them. "How many drinks you think you'll need?"
"Just bring the bottle," Karin hollered back from where she had procured a table for the pair of them. Suigetsu grinned at his co-workers.
"She digs me," he chuckled, "Just doesn't want to admit it."
"That does sound like Karin," Naruto admitted with a sigh and a hiccup. "Oh, I love this song!" He staggered around from the bar and clambered over to join the person who was about to start drunken singing.
"…When I was young…I never needed anyone…" he sang.
" –Oh god…" Sasuke groaned as the entire bar burst out into an emotional rendition of Celine Dion's 'All By Myself'. "Not this song…" He could practically feel the single women begin tearing up.
"Would Whitney Houston's 'I Will Always Love You' be more to your taste, yeah?" Deidara remarked with a smirk.
"Don't you fucking dare."
"I'm doing it. I'm requesting it. This is happening, yeah."
"Don't wanna be…all by myseeeeelf…anymore…" Naruto sang; his words slurring slightly; much to the amusement of the raven. Deidara made an irritated noise under his breath and glanced over to where Itachi and Kisame were still going at it; shirts hanging open and hands trailing across each other now.
"...Sasuke…could you maybe give me a hand, yeah?" the blonde inquired in annoyance, "…It seems that our boss is horny, and our co-workers are drunk or getting there."
"…I'm getting there too," Sasuke assured him flatly, but moved to the other side of the bar to give him a hand with the serving of drinks and the supplying of tissues to tear-stained maidens.
It was about half past midnight when Itachi re-approached the bar; Deidara, Naruto and Sasuke all looking at him rather smugly as he re-buttoned his shirt and tried to smooth his hair back. He was breathing heavily and his cheeks were flushed, and a tipsy Naruto was most amused to see that he had hickeys on his throat.
"…You and Dei should make a club," he chuckled; earning a dark glare from his boss.
" –Go on, Itachi," Deidara waved him away from the bar smugly, "We can handle it, yeah. It's about time it was your turn to sneak off early to have sex, yeah."
"We are not –" Itachi was about to deny, but then decided that his energy was going to be needed elsewhere. "…Goodnight." On that note, he turned and began stalking off towards the door, where Kisame was waiting for him; already having collected his things.
"Fuck him til he can't walk, Kisame!" Suigetsu hollered obnoxiously from his table.
"I intend to," the bouncer chuckled with a wink as Itachi glared at the both of them and tried to storm out with as much of his dignity in tact as possible.
"…I'll handle closing," Deidara commented with a sigh, elbowing Naruto and rolling his eyes, "Sasuke, take him home, yeah –he's gonna start crying if they play that song again…"
"You sure?"
"I'll be fine," the blonde grumbled flatly; nodding to the karaoke stand where Suigetsu and Karin appeared to be having a very good time. "He's not going anywhere soon, yeah." Sasuke sighed and looked at Naruto; who was fully conscious but stumbling a little and singing under his breath. "It's only another two hours or something, yeah." Sasuke shrugged and sighed, grabbing his jacket and wishing Deidara luck.
"Come on, Naruto," he muttered, grabbing the blonde by the elbow and beginning to manoeuvre him towards the door.
"And don't you fucking drive, yeah!" Deidara hollered, before adding crossly, "Jeez, what am I, your bloody mother…"
It didn't take long for Sasuke to hail down a cab; Naruto dozing on his shoulder on the ride home to Sasuke's apartment. Getting him up the stairs was too much of a mission, so they took the elevator, Naruto clinging to Sasuke's arm for support, and not liking the moving world all that much.
"Water for you," Sasuke sighed as they entered the apartment and Naruto promptly flopped down on the couch in relief. He drank the water he was given obediently, and Sasuke was relieved when he appeared to have fallen asleep there.
Heading to his room, he let out a low breath. Well…another Valentine's Day over, and still, nothing had changed. It was frustrating, yes, dealing with Naruto's obsession with love, when he was literally the only person in the world that couldn't tell how Sasuke felt about him, but the Uchiha didn't mind.
Naruto had been one of his first real friends, and he didn't want to push that; didn't want to end up scaring him off or pushing him away. Even if everyone seemed to think that Sasuke's feelings were reciprocated, Naruto had to come to terms with that off his own accord. He preached that love was love, regardless of gender, but Sasuke didn't know if he'd ever thought that that could apply to himself.
He was about to turn his light off when he heard noise from behind him. While he had been lost in thought, Naruto had snuck in and was lying on his bed.
"…Couch, idiot," Sasuke grumbled flatly; dimming the lights until he managed to get the moron under control.
"No," Naruto shook his head. Sasuke planted his hands on his hips and quirked an eyebrow; sighing when he saw that the blonde was already slipping under the covers.
"Fine," he muttered; shaking his head and heading back to the light switch.
"No; I want the lights on." He'd forgotten how annoying Naruto could be after he'd been drinking. "Darkness is lonely." Sasuke ignored him and clambered into bed; looking up at the roof for a long moment before feeling eyes on him. Looking over, he saw that Naruto was lying on his back; facing him; bright blue eyes inquisitive.
"You know what I don't like about Valentine's Day?" he commented quietly.
"Mmm?" Sasuke replied; looking up at the roof and feeling Naruto scoot closer.
" –If you don't have someone, it makes you feel lonelier than any other day," he muttered. Sasuke made a noise that indicated that he understood. "…But Sasuke?"
"Mmm?"
"…When you're around, I never feel lonely. Even on Valentine's Day." Sasuke chuckled under his breath. Stupid, drunk idiot.
"Don't say stuff like that," he sighed heavily; closing his eyes and suddenly feeling a weight on him. He automatically took a deep breath, and contentedly breathed in Naruto's scent as the blonde embraced him warmly.
"Sasuke…you don't smell like perfume…" Naruto mumbled in confusion.
"Should I?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow; pushing the blonde away from him and swatting him with a pillow.
"Well yeah; girls wear perfume, and you went on a date with one?" Naruto reminded him.
"She wasn't wearing perfume," he deadpanned, and was immediately whacked in the face with a pillow. "Naruto, we are not having a pillow-fight."
"…You're just saying that because you're losing." Of course, that meant Sasuke had to toss his closest pillow at the blonde in irritation; laughing a little as Naruto lost his balance and almost fell off the bed. Only the raven's quick reflexes allowed him to grab his hand in time and drag him back into sitting position against the headboard. Naruto laughed and leaned his head on Sasuke's bare shoulder.
"You should laugh more," the blonde snorted, "You'd have a girlfriend in no time."
"…Who says I want that?" Sasuke mumbled.
"What?"
"Nothing."
"Why wouldn't you want a girlfriend?" Naruto inquired curiously; nuzzling his face into the crook of Sasuke's neck; lips grazing the raven's pale skin. "...You have someone you can spent time with, and spoil, and hug and make plans with, and stuff..."
"…Quit that," he growled; trying to bat away the blonde's face.
"Quit what?" Naruto teased; repeating the action; his lips touching Sasuke's skin once more. The raven turned his head in irritation to tell him to quit it, but found that in that motion, Naruto had tipped his face up to gleefully observe his reaction.
Their lips were touching. Eyes wide, Sasuke pulled back slightly.
Naruto frowned to himself; his heart beginning to race for some reason. Their lips had brushed only slightly, but it hadn't felt unpleasant at all. On impulse, he leaned up again and pressed his lips gently against Sasuke's and then pulled away.
"Naruto, stop," Sasuke whispered, closing his eyes tightly in the hopes that Naruto wouldn't test his self-control any more. Like usual, the blonde didn't listen, but this time, his lips connected with the soft skin at the corner of the Uchiha's lips. Another chaste kiss was placed against his chin.
"…Naruto…" Sasuke breathed, feeling lips press against his again. He pressed back; ever so slightly, just to show that he wasn't pulling away. Naruto gasped at the sensation of such a light, returned gesture and kissed him again; a little harder this time.
"…Don't. Naruto…stop…" Sasuke murmured as a soft warning, but found himself kissing back nonetheless. His self-restraint began to dissolve as a pale hand moved up to cup the blonde's cheek; head angling to deepen their kiss. Naruto kissed back slowly; tentatively, even, but he wasn't resisting.
Reluctantly, Sasuke tore away; placing a fist gently against Naruto's chest; their foreheads touching.
"…Don't do this to me, Naruto," he whispered hoarsely, swallowing the lump that had risen in his throat.
"…Don't stop…" came the soft whisper back. Black eyes looked up and saw that Naruto's were looking up into his. He didn't understand the look, but being this close to him was too much.
Sasuke leaned in again; their lips meeting once more; the raven's hand trailing around to the back of Naruto's neck to draw him in closer. As he worked the blonde's lips apart, their tongues met just briefly; Naruto's hands softly trailing down Sasuke's chest.
Slowly; giving him all the time in the world to protest, Sasuke lowered Naruto onto his back; hovering over him; their bodies only centimetres apart. Naruto was practically gasping for air, but suffocating had never felt so good. Sasuke's lips on his were sending a current of electricity through his entire body; raw and exciting. Their tongues clashed in the kiss; deep and sensual. He'd never been kissed like this…never with so much…
He couldn't explain it.
"…Naruto…" Sasuke murmured in his ear as he trailed soft kisses down his throat and nibbled at his pulse seductively. Had his name always sounded so good said in Sasuke's voice? His breath hitched; body arching up and grazing Sasuke's lightly. The reaction to his neck being kissed in such a way made his arms reach up and latch onto the raven's back; pulling him close.
…Did Sasuke just moan?
If he had, it was a sound Naruto wanted to hear so much more of. He pressed his body up against the raven's again; receiving a harsh kiss against his throat in response.
Naruto's reactions were maddening, Sasuke realised weakly as he felt their bodies connect. He slid an arm around the blonde; desperately wanting to hold him after so long. The action caused their hips to graze one another and he closed his eyes; praying this wasn't a dream. Rising from the blonde's collarbone, he kissed him again; savouring the trusting, intimate way Naruto kissed him back.
"…H-Hot…" Naruto managed to stammer between breaths, "…Too hot…" Sasuke, confused, pulled back slightly; taking a sharp intake of breath as their hips pressed against each other whilst Naruto removed his shirt. For a moment there, they just stared at one another again, before simultaneously leaning in to meld their lips together.
Sasuke could have held Naruto like this all night –not that he would ever admit it –but his male body; desiring the blonde, as it had done for years, was reacting all-too eagerly now that the object of his dreams was beneath him.
Unable to stop himself, Sasuke found his hips rolling up against Naruto's lustily; the friction only serving to arouse him even more. Ashamed at his lack of self-restraint, he buried his face in the blonde's neck and let out a low, aroused moan.
"…Ahn…" a soft gasp escaped Naruto's parted lips as he felt both the vibrations of a moan against his throat and the pressure of a growing erection against his hips. Further aroused by this erotic sound, Sasuke repeated the action; slower and a little harder.
"…Na-ru-to…" he whispered in a husky tone; feeling the blonde's breath hitch and nails dig into his back. Naruto mimicked the motion of Sasuke's hips; satisfied to hear the Uchiha let out another moan.
Lips nibbling and sucking trails up Naruto's neck, Sasuke couldn't believe that this was happening. Naruto was lying beneath him; their chests pressed together; grinding into each other like there was no tomorrow. He'd longed to hold him like this for so long.
He moaned Naruto's name again; loving the way tanned arms gripped his back with need.
"Sa-Sasuke…" the blonde moaned; and he nuzzled up against the neck laid out before him before responding with a low, "Mmm?"
"…Kiss me again."
All too eager to comply; he brought his lips crashing down upon Naruto's, the blonde's swollen lips parting to let his tongue delve in. This was too much. Sasuke's hips began rolling against the other's more vigorously now; highly aroused by the faces and the noises Naruto was making, and the way he was quivering beneath him.
As they broke apart again, Naruto peered down between them and his eyes widened a little as he noticed the bulge growing in Sasuke's pants.
"…Sorry…" Sasuke murmured softly; kissing the corner of his lips and making to pull back.
"No…It's…me too…" Naruto whispered; dragging him back down for another kiss. A little…surprised…Sasuke trailed his hands down the blonde's bare chest; thumbs ghosting over his sensitive nipples and feeling them harden beneath his touch. One of his hands continued southwards, slowly undoing the blonde's jeans and then his own; their clothed arousals pressing together. Naruto let out a soft hiss of pleasure, so Sasuke decided that he could maybe push his luck.
In one swift movement, he had dragged their erections free of their confinement, and pressed them together; letting out a deep moan into Naruto's mouth. Feeling a foreign hand on his arousal, Naruto's hand immediately shot down to grab at it. His fingers connected with Sasuke's and he felt the familiar throb of his own cock, but also of one that wasn't his own. Unsure, he let Sasuke guide their hands along the length of their erections; bucking his hips up into their hands; breath shaking from the unfamiliar sensation.
If Naruto had thought his heart was racing before, then now it felt as though it was going to burst right out of its chest as he and Sasuke stroked their arousals together. The heat was unbearable; unbearably good, that was.
"...Mmm...Ahh..." he was a little embarrassed by the gasps escaping his lips, but as he looked up into Sasuke's eyes, that fading into a strange longing that he didn't quite understand. If he'd felt like he was suffocating before...now he felt as though he was drowning.
Their hips roughly ground together; the heat from each other in sharp contrast with the air of Sasuke's bedroom. Sasuke's hand picked up speed; the friction sending bolts of fire straight to Naruto's gut.
Clothes were tossed haphazardly across the room and Naruto found that he was unable to take his eyes off Sasuke. The raven was kissing hot, passionate trails down his chest as a lube-coated finger pressed up inside him. His breath caught in his throat at the unusual sensation, but he didn't resist. Sasuke's hands on him had caused his body to flood with heat unlike what he'd ever felt before, and he couldn't get enough of it.
The intrusion inside him increased in size and he cringed as it became slightly painful. Sasuke looked up; concern in his eyes, but Naruto found himself nodding for him to continue. Pale fingers dipped deeper into his tight heat; slicking up his entrance and speeding up their thrusts. Suddenly, Naruto's back arched with a shocked moan and the raven smirked to himself, rubbing his fingers in the same spot and eliciting the same reaction.
"…Oh…god…" Naruto breathed, hips automatically grinding back against Sasuke's hand; seeking to feel that pleasure again. Adding a third finger, the raven indulged him; slamming his fingers up into his prostate to accompany the pain of being stretched with a wave of pleasure. Naruto's hand was wrapped around his own, aching cock; Sasuke's name breaking free of his lips over and over. He didn't know what was happening; just that it felt good and he wanted Sasuke closer to him.
"…More…" he moaned. "Sasuke…" Dark eyes widened in astonishment. Was Naruto really…? He looked up into glazed blue eyes and saw the blonde's entire body twitch with arousal. He withdrew his fingers, and tentatively pressed the hot head of his erection against his slick entrance; reminding him exactly what 'more' was going to mean. He gritted his teeth at the feeling of Naruto's entrance clenching against the tip of his cock, but looked up to see his friend's reaction.
Instead of answering, Naruto just leaned up and pressed an open-mouth kiss against his lips; gripping Sasuke's hair tightly. He understood.
"…Do you want me to use a…" he began to ask in a low voice, but felt a soft shake in response. Again, understanding, he reached over for some more lube and slicked up his arousal; closing his eyes in disbelief as he slowly pushed the head of his cock into Naruto. Panting heavily, he waited, but felt the blonde shift beneath him insistently.
It was…uncomfortable, at best, Naruto admitted to himself. But Deidara's words from earlier were running through his mind. The way he'd move deep inside you… Deidara had been talking about Kisame and Itachi, but Naruto had become distracted by his words, and had blushed when he'd found himself unwittingly imagining himself with Sasuke.
Bet you'd want him spreading you open…
That was exactly what Naruto wanted Sasuke to do. His breathing laboured, he looked up and found that Sasuke was watching him with that look on his face; the look that Naruto kept seeing everywhere –the look that he had seen on his own face in those photos.
The feeling of skin against his told him that Sasuke was completely encased inside him. He fidgeted in discomfort, gripping the sheets tightly as he spread his legs wider. He felt full; too full, but he didn't mind. This was Sasuke inside him, and he let out a soft moan as he felt the raven's cock throb agreeably as he struggled to relax. It felt like he fit perfectly. Like this was right.
Sasuke let out a short breath; kissing Naruto deeply and grinding his hips up into him; reaching deep and making the blonde gasp. He repeated the action; just holding Naruto in his arms for now and just feeling him; the heat encasing him clenching deliciously as the tight walls adjusted.
But then desire and need began to take over, and he drew his hips back further, thrusting into him harder, time and time again. His hands left Naruto's body to fist the sheets harshly as he began slamming into him; searching again for his prostate.
Nails raked down his back as Naruto arched up against him with a hoarse cry of Sasuke's name; flesh slapping together loudly. Sasuke gritted his teeth, possessively leaned down to suck harshly at the blonde's throat.
"…Say my name…" he growled predatorily, and heard a keening, "Sasuke…" in response.
The bed was shaking; Sasuke's hips driving into the blonde without restraint. Years, he had waited for this moment, and now that Naruto was here; on his bed, taking him deep inside him…he couldn't control himself. Naruto was moaning and writhing beneath him; his body shaking with pleasure every time Sasuke slammed into him. His clenching inner walls were driving the raven wild; needing to drive deeper into him.
Grabbing handfuls of the blondes' tanned ass, he spread him open further; moaning at how tight he was. Naruto felt the grip on him and let out an aroused cry. This is what he wanted. This is what he'd been embarrassingly imagining as Deidara spoke. He could feel Sasuke's thick erection pulsing; hot and heavy as it spread his inner walls; the blunt head spearing against something deep inside him that felt unbearably good. His muscles sucked up Sasuke greedily; hungrily clenching around his cock and protesting as he withdrew.
"Nghh…Sasuke…Faster…" he begged breathlessly; chest rolling up against Sasuke's pale one. His nails dug into the raven's sweat-slicked back; clawing hard enough to leave wounds. The headboard smacked violently against the wall with every thrust; Naruto feeling as though his hips were going to break as Sasuke obliged. With anyone else, he would have felt exposed, but for some reason, because this was Sasuke he was doing with, it was fine.
Each penetration sent a new shock of pleasure through him. It hurt, just a little, but the way the hot object forcing itself into him made him feel was more than enough to outweigh that. Their sweating bodies writhed together; heat spreading with every movement.
The raven groaned; his back stinging as the blonde; needing more, began rolling his hips; needily trying to match his thrusts.
"Ahh…Yesss…move just like that…" Sasuke whispered huskily as he stooped to kiss him sloppily; sweat beading on the blonde's forehead and saliva trailing from between parted lips. "…You feel…so good…"
"…I'm so close…" Naruto moaned into his lips, "…Make me cum…please…" How could Sasuke deny him?
Wrapping one hand around Naruto's heavy, leaking erection, he began stroking it in time with his furiously paced thrusts; hurtling towards release. Their hips barely parted as Sasuke slammed into him fast and deep; abusing his prostate relentlessly. Naruto's body quaked as the heat of desire pooled in his gut at an alarming rate, like a coil that about to snap at any moment. Sasuke's free hand planted fiercely into the bed and their gazes locked; full of lust and something more; their hips connecting almost violently now as they desperately grasped each other. Giving over to lust, Sasuke pounded Naruto into the bed; the air filled with the blonde's cries.
"Naruto…" Sasuke murmured, and then closed his eyes in pleasure as Naruto's body lurched up to meet him; nails digging in and lips parting to cry his name in ecstasy as he came violently across their chests -his body wracked with his orgasm. Unable to hold back any more with the blonde's inner walls clamping wildly around his cock; Sasuke braced himself and slammed into him to reach as deep as possible as he came; coating his insides with his warm release; Naruto letting out a satisfied mewl at the feeling.
Exhausted, and shaking, he pulled out of the blonde; their noses brushing intimately as he toppled to his elbows. Naruto's arms; weak with warmth and euphoria, slid limply down Sasuke's back as the raven leaned in and kissed him gently; biting softly at his lower lip. The blonde kissed back; lazy and tired. Laboriously, Sasuke rolled off him and dragged the sheets up over them as Naruto languidly rolled to nuzzle up against him; his stretched hole twitching mournfully at the loss of the heat of Sasuke's thick cock. He didn't say anything; his eyelids drooping.
Sasuke looked down at the blonde curled up beside him; brushing his sweaty blonde fringe back off his face to press a kiss against his forehead. If ever, there was a time for him to whisper, 'I love you', he knew that this was it. But he wasn't taking the chance that he didn't hear it; not after having kept those words silent for so long.
Contentedly, he fell into an alcohol and Naruto-intoxicated slumber, with the familiar weight and scent of his friend beside him.
And when he finally woke up in the morning, he was alone.
Wow. That was long. Phew. Did not expect it to be that long.
Chur for being patient with me!
Well, this is a development that I'm sure everyone's been waiting for. But what happens now?
