Hey guys:) Chapter 10 is here! Enjoy~
...
When they got to the lodge, they saw that the party already started. It was around 8pm by the time they got there, and they knew the party would get even crazier as more people would show up.
"Where do we sleep?" Naruto asked.
"In these kinds of situations- where ever you can fit into, with a pillow and blanket. And wherever there isn't vomit, of course." Sai laughed.
As they entered, the door already open, Naruto was amazed at how huge this place was from the inside. Three stories, a huge living room, a dining room where instead of a table was a beer pong table, loud speaker systems, numerous balconies, and more. "Wow…" he whistled, impressed.
Sasuke arrived around 6pm, feeling tired by the drive with Sakura and her talking. He drove up with Neji and Kiba, and around 7pm, everyone started arriving and immediately starting the party.
He knew he needed to have fun, but of course only one thought, one person was on his mind.
"Naruto!" His head jerked up, his body getting tense as he heard that name. What did Kiba just say?
"So glad you made it!" He heard Kiba shout out, giving him a hug and Sai a high five. He looked over from the third story railings, and felt his body tense even more when he saw the blonde.
"What the fuck." He murmured, almost out of breath. "What is he doing here?" He almost shouted, watching as Sai and him were walking around with Kiba giving them a tour although he barely knew the place himself.
He gripped the railings hard. There was way too much going on. First of all, what the fuck was Naruto doing here? He figured Kiba and Kankurou probably convinced him to come, but why would he? This was not his scene.
Secondly, what the fuck was he doing with Sai? Sasuke was really starting to hate this bastard more and more, and realizing they were here together just made his blood boil.
And lastly… "Why didn't he tell me?" He thought, confused, and angry. "He knew I was coming. Did he only come after I said I was coming, or did he already know about it?"
Regardless, he waited until the three came upstairs to the second floor, where he confronted them.
He didn't say much, and simply just stared at them at first. "Sasuke! Look who's here!" Kiba exclaimed excitedly.
"Oi! You guys made it!" Kankurou also stepped up, providing a hug towards Naruto and a shake with Sai. Too much was happening for Sasuke to even start getting annoyed at this guy.
"How was the drive?"
"They drove together?" Sasuke thought, his anger just increasing.
"Good. Not too bad." Sai replied, and knew he needed to speak because all Naruto was doing was staring at Sasuke, who was doing the same. "They act like there was no one else in this room." He thought, wanting to roll his eyes.
"Yo. Show me the balcony." Sai said, gesturing for Kiba to come with him.
Kankurou watched the two, catching on and left as well. "This will be interesting." He thought, finding it entertaining that the two were still just standing, staring at each other.
When they finally snapped out of it, Sasuke growled, "Come with me." He walked towards an empty balcony, and Naruto followed him, knowing he'd get an earful.
"What are you doing here, dobe?" Sasuke hissed harshly, glaring at him. "Why are you with that bastard? And why the fuck didn't you tell me you were coming?"
Naruto tried to register all the questions, and replied "I'm here because I was invited and decided I wanted to come. I'm with Sai because he's my friend. And I didn't tell you because... well do I have to?" He knew that answer would especially piss him off. "Besides, I'm allowed to have fun too."
"No." Sasuke grabbed his chin suddenly, pulling his face close to his. "You're not. Not without my permission. You belong to me, remember?"
Scoffing, Naruto rolled his eyes. "You were going to be here all weekend." He moved from his grip. "Listen- I'm not going to ruin your plans. You do what you want, and I'll do what I want. Just let me...be here." He said, looking towards the view of the mountains, seeing it was beautiful after all.
Sasuke scowled, not liking this one bit. He knew he couldn't make the blonde go back home, and he knew he shouldn't care that he was here. But the biggest thing was… "Do you think I'll be able to hold back?" Sasuke growled, realizing his thoughts were said out loud.
Naruto lifted a brow, surprised. "Do you want to risk it? Even us being out here like this makes it seem suspicious, doesn't it?" He said, looking around and seeing there were already a couple people staring at them.
Sasuke realized it himself, and sighed, stepping back. "Just don't do anything stupid. Stay within my sight." He muttered, and walked back in fast.
Rolling his eyes again, Naruto sighed, and leaned forward against the balcony, looking out at the view.
"Beautiful, huh?" An unfamiliar voice said out, and he turned, seeing a male in glasses and silver hair tied up. He looked sort of familiar, but Naruto did not know who exactly.
"Uh...yeah. It is." Naruto said, turning back around.
"Not just the view." The man came up, leaning next to him. "I'm Kabuto. You are Naruto Uzumaki, yes?"
Naruto nodded. "How do you know me?" He was curious, knowing he never talked to him before.
"I was a TA for your history class last year." He smiled, though Naruto felt uncomfortable under his gaze. It was strong…. it was similar to Sasuke's, but darker and made him absolutely unpleased.
"Ah. Kabuto-sempai." Naruto tried to ignore it. "How are you? You're a third year now, right?"
"Yes. About to leave the school, and ready to move on. But there's still a lot of unfinished business, of course." He said, glancing over Naruto again.
Naruto shuffled, uncomfortable again. Why was this guy looking at him like that? Was he hitting on him?
"Naruto." He heard a familiar, good voice call out to him, seeing Sai inside. "Come on. Let's get a drink." Sai saw he was uncomfortable, and saved him.
"Boyfriend?" Kabuto immediately muttered, surprising Naruto.
"No… I'm not…" Naruto was about to deny being gay.
"Yes you are." He smirked. "As long as you're not taken."
Naruto really did not like this conversation, and just said, "Good bye," stepping inside and thanking Sai. "Thanks. You saved me."
"Kabuto. He's bad news." Sai said, as they walked towards the kitchen to grab a beer. "I advise you to stay away from him."
"Is he just a flirt like you, or what?" Naruto muttered.
"Yes.. but he takes it to extremes." Sai replied, handing him a beer and using his key chain bottle opener to open it.
"Looks like this trip got more complex." Naruto sighed, feeling tired already.
"Here's to the weekend." Sai held up his bottle, and they clinked and drank away.
…
It was around midnight when Naruto felt drunk. He tried to pace himself, but had low tolerance overall. Most of the night, he was with Sai, Kiba, and Kankurou, talking, drinking, playing some beer pong. He still had a good grip on reality, and was able to decipher what people were saying.
"Yoohoo! It's time to play the King game!" Sakura called out, as she and Ino gathered people into the living room.
"Nuh-uh." Naruto shook his head as Kiba tried to drag him.
"Oh come on! It'll be funny!" Kiba, who was thoroughly drunk by now, pushed him.
Naruto looked at Sai, who shrugged. "Might as well. Piss off the Uchiha a bit?" he smirked.
Naruto sighed, rolling his eyes and letting himself be dragged. Sakura and Ino counted the amount of people, pulling out the numbered sticks. Ino handed them around.
Naruto grabbed his randomly, seeing he had lucky number 7. "There's a lot of people, so chances of me getting chosen should be low." He hoped.
He saw Sai had number 10, hoping if there was any embarrassing act, it would be with him. He looked across him, seeing Sasuke staring at him.
"God he can be so obvious." Naruto thought, blushing. He was glad the room was dimmed. Sasuke kept staring, making him feel even more nervous.
Sasuke did not like that Naruto joined this game. There was about an even number of girls, but still a lot of guys. He would not be pleased if Naruto was chosen with someone else to do something he would not approve. But he would be unable to do anything about it. He looked down at his own number, seeing he got number 2. If Naruto had to be with anyone, he would prefer it to be him.
"Who's King?" Sakura called out, looking around.
"What? I am!" Kiba exclaimed, jumping up in his drunken state. "I am!" He repeated excitedly, holding and waving his stick in the air.
"Alright, baka! Choose two numbers and what they have to do already!" Ino yelled.
Kiba pouted, sitting back down. "Hm… Numbers…."
The game went with Kiba listing out random numbers, making men kiss men, women kiss women, give lap dances, take body shots, marriage shots, and so on. Sai had to kiss a random dude, but he didn't mind since he rolled both ways. Sakura and Ino squealed their heads off, loving this too much.
Naruto was surprised he wasn't being chosen for the first few rounds. His luck however, was soon gone.
"Numbers 7! Sit on number 6's lap and give them a kiss!" Kiba exclaimed, just calling consecutive numbers because he was a little too drunk by now to be creative.
Naruto winced, knowing he was number 7. He raised his hand, showing his number. He wondered who number 6 was, and hoped it wasn't Sasuke. He knew that if it was him, he would not be able to restrain himself from moaning or anything else. But at the same time, he hoped it was him because Sasuke would get so pissed of him kissing someone else. Most of all, if it was a girl it would be better. He knew Sasuke would probably not be too angry about that. But of course luck was not going his way tonight.
"I'm number 6." That familiar, unpleasant voice stepped up to the middle of the circle, holding his stick up and having that look of lust and borderline pervertedness in his eyes. He smirked, looking over at Naruto.
Sasuke's fists clenched, seeing that slimy, annoying man looking at his blonde with those lust-filled eyes. He knew he would not like this, and he did not want to allow it to happen. But he couldn't just stop them there...it would be too suspicious.
"Naruto! Get on his lap! Come on!" Kiba exclaimed, excited to see his friend do something embarrassing.
"Bastard." Naruto muttered, glaring at the drunken brunette and walking towards the middle of the circle. He glanced at Sai, who just shrugged. The guy was definitely enjoying this, watching Sasuke's pissed off expressions.
Sighing, Naruto faced the music and walked towards Kabuto, who was sitting on a chair in the middle of the circle. "Do it! Do it! Do it!" The crowd around them chanted, as Naruto briefly hesitated. He didn't know what it was about this guy, but he did not like him.
He glanced towards Sasuke, who was glaring at them so hard… if looks could kill, everyone in this room would be dead.
"Shit." The blonde thought, starting to regret joining this game even more. Kabuto gestured towards his lap, inviting him in while staring into his blue eyes with his dark, unpleasant ones. The gleam from his glasses didn't help his perverted, dangerous aura.
"How would you like to sit, pretty boy?" Kabuto smirked. "How about you wrap your legs around me? It would better our access to kissing."
Naruto glared at him, wanting to show him he did not anticipate this at all. Kabuto just chuckled, patting his knees again.
Sasuke really wanted to kill the gray-haired bastard, wondering why the heck he seemed to enjoy this so much. He was so close to separating the two and punching that asshole across the room, but he held himself back… it took all the restraint he had in him to do so.
Naruto brought one leg around Kabuto, and the other around the other side. He distanced his chest with him, trying to make sure there was enough space to not be too close.
"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" The crowd chanted more, and Sasuke wanted to shoot them all.
Kankurou was glancing back and forth at Sasuke and Naruto, seeing his reaction bit by bit. He chuckled, entertained. "If anyone was paying attention to him, they'd surely see he is ready to kill everyone in here." He thought.
"Let's make this fast." Naruto muttered, glaring at the man.
"Ne, Naruto-san." Kabuto whispered. "Try to look happier about this, eh?"
His glare just became harder, and suddenly he felt the other's hand on the back of his head, bringing it forward faster than he could even react. Their lips met, and the bastard immediately stuck his tongue down, gripping his head hard. Very, very hard. He could barely budge unless he pushed himself off of him.
"Mmmphh!" He groaned into the kiss, wanting to separate, but the man's grip was so strong he barely could. "This is not good." Naruto felt forced, and this feeling was making him nervous as he felt flashbacks come on.
Sasuke immediately stood up, about to pounce on the bastard.
Naruto felt himself shake, but he was saved as he felt himself being pulled, fast by strong arms. He didn't see who, and wondered if maybe Sasuke couldn't hold in his anger.
"Oi! I'm getting jealous. I have the hots for this one." He heard Sai's familiar voice, and thanked him so much in his head. Although Sai was smiling jokingly, his grip on grabbing Naruto away was really strong.
Sai wrapped his arms around him, pulling him off and teasingly smiling. "That's enough!" He joked, as the others laughing at him being jokingly jealous. Sai saw the way Kabuto glared at him, but he just gave his 'innocent' smile back, pulling Naruto back towards his seat. He held him around the waist, feeling the blonde trembling under his hand but tried to stay calm.
He gave him his beer, saying, "Here. Drink it off." Naruto nodded, still slightly shaking but trying to put on a fake smile.
"T-Thanks." He muttered, and Sai nodded.
"Sorry. I knew that bastard would be perverted, but didn't expect that much force." He whispered back in his ear, as Naruto nodded.
"Me too." He stared at him, whispering, "It scared me."
Sai nodded back, rubbing his back as a protective instinct. "I know."
Sasuke was glaring at them, hard. He downed his beer can and crushed it, getting up and muttering, "Bathroom." He glared at Naruto, with a hard look demanding him to follow.
Naruto sighed, about to get up as well but felt a tug on his arm. "Don't." Sai muttered. "You're too shaken, and don't need his yelling. Don't go."
Naruto stared at him, stuck as to what he should do. "But…"
"Don't go." Kankurou suddenly sat next to him, having watched the whole scene. "Sakura just followed after him too. If you go now it'll be too suspicious."
"Kankurou? What?" Naruto was shocked, wondering how this man suddenly knew everything.
He smiled at him, shrugging. "I caught on fast. I'm good with this stuff."
Naruto blushed, nodding and decided to listen to them.
…
Sasuke was absolutely pissed off, and waited for Naruto in the bathroom.
"Fuck!" He yelled, about to punch the mirror in the bathroom. He kept imagining the way Kabuto kissed his property so forcefully… he knew he used his tongue. The way Sai wrapped his arms around him, touching what was his.
"All these bastards….all these…." He could feel himself shaking from anger, surprised at how angry he even was. The alcohol probably made it worst.
He heard a knock on the door, and immediately jerked it open, planning to pull the blonde inside before anyone can see. But instead, it was Sakura.
He was seething inside, but tried to stay calm. "Yes?" He said, trying not to glare too hard at her.
"Are you okay? You seemed pissed just now." Sakura said, concern showing in her voice.
"I'm fine." Sasuke snapped, realizing he was being a little too rude. "I mean I'm good. Just tired. And drunk."
"Hm… you do tend to get mad when you're drunk." She smiled, rubbing his chest like that would make him feel better?
He didn't feel like touching her right now, and muttered, "Let's go back to the living room." He wanted to keep an eye on his blonde.
"I think the game's over." Sakura and him walked towards the living room, and it was indeed over while they went to the bathroom, with people resuming to dancing and drinking more.
Sasuke sat on the couch, with Sakura on his lap. He really didn't feel in the mood for anything...except of course fucking Naruto. Always in the mood for that. He looked around, seeing the blonde talking to Sai and Kankurou. He really hated how they have been together, closely, all night.
He leaned back as Sakura was drunkenly talking about things he wasn't really paying attention too. His eyes watched the blonde thoroughly, feeling himself feeling turned on just by staring at him, imaging marking him as his.
"Kankurou...please don't tell." Naruto said as they were quietly talking on the couches, avoiding the others drunkenly dancing and drinking around. "It's a secret." Naruto looked at his phone, seeing a text from Gaara as he talked. He asked how he was doing, and Naruto smiled. "Good. Thanks for asking." Always good to know Gaara was there.
"Of course." Kankurou smiled. "I don't even know the full details, but I know the Uchiha gets fucking jealous every time you're involved with someone else. Which explains why he acts like such an ass towards me." He laughed, remembering being pushed by him. "But you need to be careful. He's obvious…"
"Very obvious." Sai shook his head. "Annoying bastard." He muttered.
"You two are just so cute!" They turned their heads, watching as Ino was squealing at Sakura and Sasuke. "Such a perfect couple!" She clapped at them happily, drunkenly hugging them and laughing.
Sakura smiled, giggling and wrapping her arms around Sasuke's neck. "Tell us you two! Are you excited for prom?" Ino asked, as others listened, including Naruto. "Sasuke- you better be prepared to give her the best night ever."
"He always does." Sakura said out loud, and kissed Sasuke on the neck. "Don't you, babe?"
Sasuke just replied, "Hn." He instinctively wrapped his arms around her, as she cuddled into his lap.
Naruto felt a pang in his heart, watching the two being obviously lovey dovey in front of everyone… a couple that everyone knew of. He watched the two before, but this situation was different. After everything that's happened these past couple days, seeing his gentle touches with her was… more painful.
"Kiss me, Sasuke." Sakura murmured, and Sasuke leaned down, doing so. He kissed her, and moved his lips down to her neck- a habit of his.
That hurt Naruto even more. "He always does that to me." He thought, knowing that was the first thing the Uchiha always did when they had sex. He loved biting his neck, marking his territory. "Guess not just me though, eh?" He couldn't look away, no matter how painful the scene in front of him was.
"Naruto?" Sai called out, but the blonde didn't answer, simply just watching the two.
"What do you love the most about her, Sasuke? Sakura is pretty amazing." Ino asked, her drunken state showing even more. "Tell us!"
Sasuke really didn't want to play this, but with the people looking and waiting, he couldn't just ignore it or else it would seem like he was an asshole boyfriend. "Everything." His answer was practiced, habitual almost. "Her smile? Her bubbliness. Her…" He tried to remember what else he said. "Her kindness."
"Aw, that's so sweet! What about you? Sakura?" Ino squealed, excitedly.
"Naruto. We should go to the balcony." Sai suggested, pulling his didn't want him to hear anymore.
"Yeah…" Naruto muttered, but made no effort to move or look away from the scene before them. He wanted to know…
"Sasuke is.." Sakura looked up at him, smiling. "Gentle. He treats me with so much kindness, respect, and love. He's just so gentle…" Sakura leaned up, giving him a long kiss. As she retreated, she said half jokingly, yet with a hint of seriousness, "He's the type that would be a great husband and father."
The pang Naruto felt at the moment did hurt him. "Gentle, huh?" He murmured, feeling like laughing and crying at the same time. A husband… a father. These are things he will never be able to call Sasuke for himself. He'd never...
"Naruto." Sai grabbed his shoulder, tightly. "Let's go outside." His voice was nice, but very firm.
Shaken, Naruto nodded his head, beer in his hand as he chugged it and followed Sai to the balcony, where Kankurou followed, patting the blonde's back. Anyone who was paying attention could tell those words hit him hard.
As they stepped outside, a group they didn't know exactly was smoking a joint. They went to the opposite corner, as Sai pulled out a cigarette. "Naruto. Don't mind it so much. They're both just a couple for now."
"Yeah. Honestly that Uchiha seems like he has no care for her at all." Kankurou added, trying to be comforting. "Seriously. Don't mind it."
"It's not that." Naruto sighed, holding his head in his hand. "I'll never get that from him, huh? Even if it's all for show, I'll never get that from him." He wanted to cry but didn't, and suddenly started regretting this trip even more. He thought it'd be good, to be with Sasuke in a casual environment. But seeing Sasuke like that… to hear those words from his mouth. It was too much for him.
Sasuke saw Sai and Kankurou were leading him out, and frowned. He barely had any time with the blonde, and it was pissing him off that they did. "I'm going to find Neji." Sasuke got up, lifting Sakura off of him and walking towards the balcony he saw them go on.
As he stepped out, he saw the three, backs turned to him, staring out. He stepped on, as some of those in the group smoking weed said hi to him. He nodded his head, and walked towards them, pulling out his cigarettes.
"Naruto. Light?" He said, startling the blonde who turned, surprised to see him. Sasuke lifted a brow as he saw he was completely avoiding eye contact.
He looked down, not saying anything. "I have one." Sai brought his out, keeping his cig in his mouth while helping to light Sasuke's. Sasuke hesitated, before using it.
"I see you're still here. I thought I told you to get lost?" Sasuke glared at the black-haired boy. He also looked towards Kankurou. "And you?" He growled.
"Woah. Uchiha- you need to chill. We're just hanging out. It's a party." Kankurou said, holding up his hands and trying to calm him down.
"Yeah. We're allowed to have fun." Sai snapped back, and stared at Naruto. "And so is he."
Sasuke scowled at him. "I'll decide what he's allowed to do. So you just-"
"Enough!" Naruto said loudly, grabbing the attention of the boys. "What do you want, Sasuke?" He glared at him. Sasuke wanted him to make eye contact, but not that hard. "What do you want?" He repeated, each word emphasized.
Sasuke was taken aback, surprised by his attitude. He seemed mad. Furious. And he didn't like it.
"Let's talk." Sasuke glared back, and turned, motioning for the blonde to follow.
"You can talk here." Sai put a protective arm over Naruto.
"You shouldn't risk anything." Kankurou also added, stepping up.
"Guys." Naruto put Sai's arm down. "Thanks but we're going to talk." Naruto didn't want to start a scene. "I'll be back." He looked towards Sai, giving him the same sad smile he gave Gaara.
Sai sighed, knowing he couldn't stop him no matter what. He hated this. "Fine. Go. But come back. And don't let him hurt you." He muttered, glaring at Sasuke. Naruto nodded and headed out with Sasuke.
Sasuke led him down the stairs, as they put on a coat and headed outside to talk in the woods surrounding them.
Sai and Kankurou watched from the balcony, seeing their movements as they stepped out, walking into the woods, and out of their sight.
"This is troublesome." Sai muttered, feeling annoyed. "That guy would definitely fuck in those woods."
Kankurou laughed. "Man… Naruto sure is in trouble with that guy huh? This relationship…"
"Is fucked up." Sai completed. His head jerked forward as he saw someone also going out towards the woods too. He frowned, seeing a figure with a hood, looking suspicious and following them. "Who is that?" He muttered.
"I don't know. I can't tell." Kankurou replied. "Should we go after them?"
"If anything happens, Sasuke is at least there. But I think we should go after a few minutes just to check up." Sai affirmed, wishing he could see through the tall, dark trees.

Hope you enjoyed:) Next chapter will be... tense. ~Aya
