Sasuke woke up to an empty apartment, although he had yet to acknowledge that he was alone. The parrot-haired wonder walked around absentmindedly, grabbing a cup from the cupboard and pouring him a tall glass of orange juice, slinking onto to the couch when a friendly reminder hit him upside the head. He looked around suddenly, his eyes darting to the clock. 8:23; Itachi was flawlessly up at 5 every morning, weekends included. He got up from the couch, finding his way into his room, his bed made but empty, his bathroom clean and unused. With is brows furrowed, he walked out of his older brother's room, walking back into the kitchen and reading the mail that had been placed on the table. He looked through the letters, an orange manila folder catching his eye suddenly, the slow gears in his head finally clicking to make his perfect conclusion that only an Uchiha would get so quickly. "He's with Naruto," He breathed out through clenched teeth. He growled, throwing himself out of his pajamas into fresh new clothes and out the door in a furious rush.
***
It was more than a startling and sweet surprise for Naruto to stir in his bed on a Saturday morning, turning over to the other side to find no one other than Itachi sleeping soundly beside him. It came as a revelation to him, trying to remember what happened last night, just consisting of the beer he had consumed at the bar and the car ride home. He remembered he hadn't gotten wasted –Like he would even think about doing so in front of Itachi, let alone his friends- and he remembered walking up to his apartment…
'Holy shit, how did I get up here?!' He screamed mentally, his eyes wide with fear as he looked around once more, his eyes resting on the perfect Uchiha sleeping soundly beside him with a serene look on his usually defensive face. Days like these were no fun if he couldn't remember what had happened last night. He knew for a fact that the alcohol didn't have a thing to do with his sudden memory loss of the night before; it was indeed just himself and his brain refusing to function so early. His eyes glanced over to the alarm clock, the green neon numbers flashing 9:42. His eyes widened in shock. He wasn't used to sleeping in over 8 at the max, although this was a new start for him. 'We didn't…we couldn't have…oh shit I slept with Itachi!' He threw his head back down on the pillow dramatically, causing the Uchiha to open his eyes out of shock from the collision of his boyfriend and the pillow. 'Fuck, I forgot he was still sleeping…' He cursed mentally, turning his head slowly over to Itachi, watching him blink his eyes open with a confused look in them so early in the game.
He tilted his head slightly against the soft pillows with the intoxicating smell of his boyfriend, wanting to soak up the moment right then and there, although intimidated and conscious of the blonde that was staring down at him; that and the fact that he was acting odd in the morning."Are you alright?" He asked, his eyes now fully open and looking at the blonde with a genuine concerned expression that made Naruto feel guilty of waking him up. "Yeah, sorry." He ran his fingers through his hair nervously. 'God, how could I be so stupid? I had Itachi with me here of all people…' "Good morning." Itachi purred, his smooth voice sending shivers down the blonde's spine so early in the morning, snapping him out of his sudden thoughts.
"Good morning." He smiled up at the raven, whom he just noticed was fully clothed. "Why were you sleeping with your clothes on?" He questioned, wondering why he had him dressed beneath the sheets anyways if they had done it. He sighed mentally, wanting to accept the fact that even though he wouldn't have any recollection of his first time with Itachi, it had happened.
"I didn't bring spares with me and you wouldn't let go of my arm regardless last night." He chuckled as a violent red hit the blonde straight in his face, giving his tanned skin even more color everywhere on his face. "I'm sorry, Tachi. Did I get inebriated and pass out or something?" He groaned, rubbing his temples and tossing over to the other side. 'I was drunk! I got drunk! Oh dear god, I got DRUNK of all things! And where the hell did that word come from? I know how to say fancy words but not remember last night? What the hell…'
"No, you fell asleep in my car and I came in here to put you in your bed and when I turned to leave, you grabbed onto my arm." He explained, giving Naruto the biggest relief in his life. He wanted his time with Itachi to be remembered, especially if it was something to what he had thought happened. The raven smiled gently at the now content blonde. He had already gotten the hint to what was on his mind, and although an intoxicated Naruto wouldn't have been bad last night, he knew it wasn't proper. "I'm sorry for making you carry me up." He laughed, turning back over to Itachi, realizing just at that moment that their noses weren't even an inch away. "I enjoyed carrying you in my arms…like a princess." He laughed, making Naruto roll his eyes and putting a pillow between the two of them as he blushed furiously behind his cover. "Next time, you'll be the princess, Tachi. Count on it." He laughed, obviously triggering something within Itachi as the raven twitched slightly with an impish smirk overtaking his lips. The next thing he knew, the pillow had been tossed to the floor and he was trapped underneath the raven's strong hands, him on his back and Itachi straddling over Naruto with a smirk on his face.
"Are you still asleep, Naruto?" He hummed, his lips pressing lightly against the blonde's, pulling away as if to tease him. Naruto growled beneath him, creating the Uchiha to smile as he dipped down once more to place his lips over the hungry ones, letting his teeth carve his bottom lip, making him moan slightly. The blonde's tongue ran over his lips, making his body suddenly go weak, his knees wanting to give out and buckle right then and there, but he was going to be strong. He would be screwed if he were the princess, of all things.
Naruto's tongue slipped over both of his lips this time, asking for an entrance within the Uchiha's mouth, the raven only accepting his offer and allowing him passageway, his snake of a tongue outlining everything within the wet cavern, making Itachi give out a moan or two which only provoked Naruto to do more to hear that sound once more. Their lips detached from each other, leaving a small strand of salivation between the two sets of lips. Naruto plunged upwards towards the weasel's neck, his tongue delicately tracing over the alabaster skin, going around in circles that made the Uchiha's breath hitch.
All passion came to a halt when a sudden series of loud rings echoed into the room. Both of them sighed, Naruto focused on doing what he set out to do with Itachi and continuing to leave a trail of kisses from his chin downwards to the hollow of his throat, making him chuckle. "You aren't going to get that?" He heard a scoff in response, followed with the blonde's soft murmurs and kisses on his neck. "Hell no; thus the answering machine was made." Naruto's recorded voice filled through the quiet of the house, both of them stopping suddenly to hear the loud beep after the blonde's words, only so surprised to hear Sakura on the other line, hissing through the speakers, "I know you're there, you dumbass! Answer your phone Naruto! It's already past ten so get your lazy ass up! I'm going over to your house right now-" Naruto jumped up from below Itachi, sliding out of his arm to run into the living room to grab the phone off the hook and answer it suddenly. "What do you want?" He growled, amusing Itachi furthermore.
He followed the blonde to the living room, hanging by the door way as he heard Sakura's annoying voice hitch through the receiver. "I can't go in right now and you better not come over." Naruto's eyes kept flickering between Itachi and the phone, unsure of how to answer the pinked hair woman why she wasn't allowed to come over to his house, other than the obvious truth she wasn't seeing at past ten in the morning. "Well, you see, it's kind of a funny story," He laughed nervously, his hands reaching for the back of his head. Itachi walked over to Naruto, having heard enough, and slid the phone out from under his cheek, holding the blonde within his arms as he spoke over the phone. "You can't come over because I'm here and he can't go to the library because we plan on staying in all day. Thank you Miss. Haruno." With those words, he clicked off the phone, a screech being cut off suddenly by the touch of a button.
Naruto looked up at his savior with a grin planted on his face. "The whole day?" Naruto raised his eyebrows as Itachi nodded his head. "I'm going to go to my apartment to get changed and I'll be back for you." Itachi placed his forehead down on the golden locks of hair, his arms still wrapped around the blonde. "Alright." Naruto smiled with an outlet of his breath, cherishing the moment with is partner. He felt so…light hearted almost, as if Itachi's arms held all the answers to the world and he could never leave them or get enough of the man himself, which he knew was true already. Itachi pressed his lips gently upon Naruto's head, his arms releasing the blonde as he made his way to the door, murmuring a soft and unwanted, "goodbye", closing the door slightly, Naruto's bare foot coming between the door immediately. "Wait," He paused, making the Uchiha do the same as he leaned in to press his lips against Itachi's sweetly, releasing as quickly as the kiss had came. "Goodbye." He laughed as Itachi walked down the stairs with a small smile on his lips.
He closed the door when he saw the weasel was down at his car, rushing right away to the shower and scrubbing off all traces of last night that consisted of the small amount of alcohol in his mouth and the night's weariness which a cold shower cured instantly as well as a toothbrush and a good tube of toothpaste. Naruto dressed for the best this time, slipping on some dark jeans that fit well –they weren't too baggy or tight to where they looked like skinny jeans- and a black button down shirt, hoping he would actually match up to Itachi's dress code he maintained even after work and on weekends. Most of the times, he wasn't caught dead without a tie on, although he had seen him once without one on their first date.
The azure eyes swiftly ran over the clock to reveal that it was 11:23. He tied up his shoes and threw himself on the couch, waiting patiently as the time ticked by for Itachi to arrive.
***
Itachi arrived at his apartment to find his smaller brother sitting on the couch with his dark eyes flashing up to meet his red ones. "Good morning, Sasuke." He spoke normally, giving the younger Uchiha no more attention that he normally would. He wouldn't want to give him the sense that he would treat today as if it were a special occasion, although it was, but he would never give his brother the satisfaction of knowing it.
He peered up at him with angry eyes that spoke for the detest dripping words he was speaking in his mind. "Hn." He grunted perfectly as an Uchiha, causing his brother to smirk. He slinked into the bathroom carelessly as his brother sat there infuriated, almost jealous that his brother had this chance he didn't. He wanted that damn blonde and if he was going to get him by force or blackmail, then so it would be. He heard his brother step in and out of the shower quickly, his mind racing with thoughts, all but simple and pure, of how to blackmail or convince Itachi of giving up the blonde. More thoughts circulated even quicker, all simple ideas being rejected the moment they were processed until a small ding was let out in his head along with a large smirk.
It was a matter of minutes that Itachi had come out of the bathroom with a towel around his neck to prevent his clothes from getting wet with his long hair already slicked back into his usual pony tail. He put on the finishing touches by getting his shoes on and brushing through the rest of his hair and re-do his old ponytail. He looked up at Sasuke as he was back in the living room, finding that his brother had moved spots on the couch and he was much quiet sipping his coffee.
Itachi wordlessly maneuvered around the room, eyeing his brother carefully with suspicion hidden beneath his eyes. Just as he was about to leave the apartment, swinging his jacket from the coat rack and onto his shoulders, his brother spoke clear and loud enough for him to hear, "Have fun, nii-san."You could hear the venomous smile dripping from the words, Itachi shrugging of his comment and closing the door as if he hadn't heard anything. On his way down to the car, he started to ponder on what Sasuke was hinting at him, flipping his cell phone on and speed dialing a familiar co-worker's number.
"Hello?"
"Kisame, I need a favor." The raven waited in silence as the blue man blinked a couple of times, sitting up from his bed in his apartment. "Alright, shoot." He yawned, signaling the older raven's words to come out in a blur. "Follow Sasuke around for about a week or so but keep on him today. He might be up to something and I have a feeling it might have to do with it." Kisame nodded over the phone, suddenly realizing that his friend couldn't see his movements over the phone. "Alright, I'll get on it right away. I'll report to you the minute I find him doing something." He threw his large body up from the bed and forced himself to put some clothes on over his boxers. "Thank you." And with the swift movement, he clicked the phone off. Kisame groaned, looking around in his dark apartment, sighing as he bid his bed farewell and headed off to the Uchiha residence where he assumed Sasuke would be.
***
The azure eyes opened at the sound of a small rapping at the door. He sat up quickly, straightening out his clothes and rushed to the door, smiling already as he opened the door to find Itachi ready and waiting for him, dressed up as usual. His eyes ran over the blonde, loving what they saw as a member and the rest of his body seemed more anxious. He wondered why he had chosen today to dress up in such attire, giving him a raised eyebrow Naruto questioning his expressions he wore so well. "You look…stunning." He finally breathed out, giving himself the leisure of watching his well worn body. Not that he hadn't been hot before, although the clothes give him a bigger emphasis that Itachi was bittersweet on. He would rather he wore his baggy clothes in public to attract less attention from other men or women for that matter, but then again, it he turned into eye candy for Itachi himself. He could trust the blonde enough to go out looking like that…
"Thank you." He smirked conceitedly, adoring the fact that his boyfriend had noticed first of all and second, he seemed more suiting to be beside Itachi. They both grinned charismatically as they left the front door, sliding downwards into Itachi's car and heading out on another wild date.
***
Alright, it had been too early for anything wild or actually exciting for anything to happen that the two had wished and hoped for, although they still had fun at this upmost. They had gone picnicking this time out in the country by the beach –leave it to Itachi to pull the bipolar switch and become a sudden romanticist for Naruto- and of course, the two did nothing but talk on the way back and forth. Itachi was just as hardheaded and set on knowing everything about his boyfriend as Naruto was, trying to squeeze in as many questions as possible without seeming rude or ruining the moment.
It was around six thirty when they noticed the sun was going down and they had been there longer than planned. "I can't believe we stayed here for five hours." Naruto laughed, trying to remember the last time he had spent this much time with someone and getting to know them so well. Come to think of it, he never had. It was always a game of how fast they could get the blonde into bed and how fast they could get out later once they had had enough. He shrugged the unwanted thought off his shoulders and turned back to face Itachi, looking at him intently as if trying to mind read suddenly. Even as an Uchiha, it was quite impossible at this point to even try to attempt such a thing, however if it was for Naruto or concerning him in the matter, he would do it in a heartbeat.
Itachi didn't want to say anything about their seven week anniversary which probably wasn't something to celebrate for most couples, although to him, it showed more of an insight that they had been together for more than two months, and given it wasn't such a long time but they hadn't gotten bored of each other just yet. Deidara suddenly popped inside Itachi's mind unknowingly, his questions about their sex life drooping over his head. Another reason to celebrate seven weeks: they still haven't had sex and they still found each other interesting.
Their eyes meet suddenly, Naruto chuckling in response but Itachi staying quite still with a calm expression on his face. "Hey, um, Tachi?" Naruto's voice suddenly cracked with nervousness, making him raise his eyebrow in response. "You know what today is, right?" He asked with a small blush. A grin spread over his face as he looked away into the sunset. "Seven weeks anniversary." He stated almost proudly, blissful over the fact that he wasn't the only one counting the days. He looked back over at Naruto who wore a smile just as large on his face. "Think we can make a year?" He winked, laughing as he scooted over to Itachi. "Of course we can." He smiled, thinking of a year from now. Nothing would probably change other than the fact that he would be with the blonde longer and they would have probably moved in together already, hopefully with Sasuke out of the way.
Hell, he might even get started of kicking him out today.
Naruto's eyes kept glancing over at the flawless pale body sitting beside him. It was an ultimate blessing to be right next to Itachi, even dating him, but overall, Naruto's mind started to click as Itachi's had, questioning to if they were going to get to another step. Sure, they had gone on many dates which was good and kisses that were beyond words that left you breathless even, although he had started to hunger for something a bit more…
Screw it. Itachi turned around to face the blonde who seemed taken by surprise. He was at his breaking point not by being lured with his boyfriend's good looks or even the fact that he was seducing him or pulling any moves, but it was just the moment and the time…and the sunset.
"Naruto, what do you think about going an extra step?" His eyes stared into his as if it bore a hole, the blonde looking at him incredulously as if his mind reading tricks had worked. Itachi stayed still for a moment, almost sure that he had scared Naruto at this point until the blonde moved in and pulled the raven into a gentle kiss, their lips almost grazing each other and suddenly touching. "I thought you would never ask." He chuckled. Itachi pushed him down gently with the tips of his fingers, kissing him gently and coaxing out some moans as his tongue was inserted.
They stopped for a moment, Naruto gasping for air, amusing Itachi. "W-we should be somewhere else." He spoke a bit out of breath, making the raven smile sadistically. "You don't want it to be here on the beach?" He chuckled, diving and latching onto his neck. "Ah-no! As kinky as it sounds, I think –ah!- it should be somewhere comfortable." He bit his lip to strain any other sounds Itachi was provoking from slipping out of his mouth. He would have the wait on the ride home and it would be about thirty minutes until they reached there…
"Alright then." Itachi spoke, getting himself off of Naruto and helping him up, the blonde's face suddenly twisting with guilt. Well, maybe their first time was supposed to be someplace special other than from home. "Itachi," His hands reached out on his shoulders, spinning the Uchiha around as Naruto jumped and tackled down the raven, both of them grinning at the blonde's sudden choice. It wasn't soon before the sun had gone completely down and the once peaceful beach was something the two men could never look at the same again.
Alrighty, well that left something for you guys to grin and get nosebleeds about! I'm terribly sorry that I left the whole sex scene standing by itself, and who ever knew Naruto was kinky by his own words? XD
That's the end for now and I actually updated on time! ^_^ I'm so happy! Haha, anyways, I promise I'll make it up to you guys with a super long chapter for the 11th one and expect some yaoi! ;) Thanks to all my reviewers for chapter ten ahead of time and to chapter nine!
