Chapter 10: Desperation surfaces

Disclaimer: I wish I wish upon a fish that Naruto was mine...But its not falls on floor kicking and screaming

Any who...I've been lazy. A friend requested a Halloween costume of Itachi and I am not spending 100 bucks on ebay. So I make them. I either might go as Tsunade this year or Naruto like last year. That or I will just get my Circ du Solei mask and run around in a black hoodie scaring little kids. I know, almost eighteen and I still want candy right? EVERYONE LUVS CANDY ALRIGHT? But Sasuke likes crackers...and Naruto. Whoop! Well, even though I have a bad case of heart burn and am doped on headache medication making the room spin and change pretty colors (I think my mom smuggled me crack! lol w ) I've decided in my hazey mind to get my ass in gear! So here we are! Lucky number 10!

Btw...You see a side of Leo you never thought you would. (winks)

Life In The Gutter Chapter 10

Naruto woke first and gently moved out of his bed. Sasuke laid there, still with all his clothes on. His hair looked like a bird's nest; Naruto admitted that his hair had to have looked the same. Naruto looked to the clock on his oven. He had over two hours before he had to be at the cafe. He was still scared to be roaming around outside, but from the way Sasuke kicked the thugs ass's yesterday, he had a feeling that they would leave the little blond alone for a while. The blond made his way over to the fridge and took out some ingredients for breakfast. In his mind, he was going over last night. The kiss, the touching, the grouping...

Naruto shivered and cracked an egg into the frying pan.

He didn't think he was moving too fast. After all, the guy must have cared, he did save him after all. He saw at the corner of his eye that Sasuke was moving around. A hand came up from under the sheets and started groping the side of the bed that the blond had slept. He frowned his brows and opened his eyes. He shot up and looked around the room. He relaxed when he saw Naruto making breakfast by the stove. He sighed in relief and looked out the window.

That little blond moron! He scared me have to frickin death!

Sasuke got up and immediately fell when he stood up. Naruto turned to look at him, shock written all over his face.

Damn humans and their stupid limbs falling asleep! How the hell can they sleep in a bed and actually get out of it in the morning?

Sasuke shakily stood; he hid his embarrassment by coughing and dusting off his shirt from imaginary dirt. He straightened it and moved his neck around, effectively making it crack away from his stiffness. He heard Naruto giggle.

"Looks like someone wasn't used to my soft bed. Where do you sleep? A hay bale somewhere?" Sasuke thought that over, what would he say to that?

No actually I sleep on shredded newspaper while pictures of you, and a piece of your hair surround me? What am I a stalker? Well...Yeah I am, but not the sick kind!

Sasuke coughed again until a smell filled the air. He visibly sniffed, and Naruto looked at him.

"Smell something?"

"Eggs?"

"What?"

"I smell eggs...And bacon?" Naruto gave him a look and moved so Sasuke could see the stove.

"Well . . . Yeah I am cooking breakfast you know . . . " the blond replied rolling his eyes. Sasuke stared at the food and felt his mouth water; his stomach let out a loud noise. Naruto chuckled, and Sasuke blushed.

"You're a mess. You sleep weird; your clothes looked lived in, and you act like you haven't eaten in a while. Are you homeless? If . . . If you don't mind me asking?" The blond looked nervously at him. Sasuke smiled at the blond.

"Well . . . It's sort of like this . . . I ran away for a while. My family was putting lots of pressure on me and . . . Basically a lot of them were trying to get me to fall into marriage with someone I totally hate." Naruto grimaced.

"Wow, that sucks. So basically want to teach them a lesson and bring someone else's home?" Sasuke shrugged.

"Honestly, I just want to find my true love . . . " he whispered, rubbing the back of his head. Naruto blinked and smiled brightly at him.

"That's . . . Sweet. That's really sweet Sasuke!" Naruto finished cooking and set the food on plates. He dug through his drawers and produced two forks. Sasuke stared at them and whimpered.

Great, more human devices I have no freaking clue how to use! Can't everyone just use their damn hands for once!

Sasuke came out of his inner battle when Naruto pushed said items into his hands. Inwardly, he sobbed.

Why me?

Sasuke managed with surprisingly little difficulty to eat breakfast. Naruto had watched him as he literally in hailed the food and started to...Lick the plate clean. Naruto just took it as a compliment and shrugged it off. He couldn't though without smiling. The blond told the raven to leaved the plate in the sink. As Sasuke was walking back toward the bed, he let his eyes wander to the microwave. He stared at it, from the outside it looked like a TV. Curiosity took over, and Sasuke couldn't help but touch it. He poked the outside screen with his finger several times; he missed once and hit a button. It beeped and made Sasuke jump. Naruto looked up from getting ready and raised an eyebrow.

He's like...A child. Just what was his family like anyway?

Sasuke pressed more buttons and heard beeps. He smiled when it lit up and started spinning on the inside. He wanted to touch it. He opened the door to do it, but it stopped. No longer lit, it just sat there. Sasuke scowled and closed the door. It still did nothing.

"Please by the name of God tell me that you have used a microwave before?" Naruto asked, walking over, wearing his cafe uniform. Naruto smoothed down his crimson vest and slightly vermilion pants to match. Sasuke shrugged.

"I've seen them, but in all honesty, I've never used one..." Naruto's jaw dropped.

"You have never used a microwave? You're shitting me!" Sasuke shook his head.

"Nope."

"Oh dear god you sent me a retard with hope!" he said to no one in particular. Sasuke scowled and rolled his eyes. He tilted his head and looked the blond over, admiring the red uniform.

"Going to work?" The blond nodded, smiling. Sasuke stood up and tried not to jump on the poor boy in all his cuteness.

Now or never! Do something romantic before he leaves!

Sasuke smiled, and it crept the blond out a bit. Sasuke without warning came forward and embraced the blond tightly. Naruto's lips were suddenly covered by the ravens. He made a small noise of surprise before it turned into a moan of encouragement. Sasuke tilted his head, ebony locks falling forward and tickling tan cheeks. Sasuke didn't have experience, but he made that up with willingness. Naruto seemed to be doing the same thing. Acting purely on instinct and human desire...The one to go at it like bunnies but whoa! He just met the guy!

God...He tastes so good! He must taste even better after he eats...

Sasuke nibbled a little on his lower lip. Naruto breathed out, and Sauske noticed his lightly tinted red cheeks. He pulled back and kissed the blond's lips softly, tenderly and sweetly. Being a rat had it bonuses . . . He knew how to be cuddly believe it or not! He released the blond and looked him straight in the eyes.

"After your work? When does it end?" He asked. Naruto seemed to blink, lost in his own minds haze. He snapped out of it and stuttered.

"O-o-oh! Um . . . I get done a little after eight thirty . . . " Sasuke nodded. He only asked the question because Naruto would freak out if he mentioned he knew where he worked and what time he got off. For god's sake, he followed the blond everywhere! He knew his favorite color, for crying out loud, Sasuke nodded and leaned close to his ear.

"I'll be waiting by the bridge, meet me there around nine so you can get ready . . . " Naruto nodded and smiled. Sasuke couldn't help himself. He leaned down again and started nibbling on the blond's lips.

Leo was officially freaking out, he had been up all night, and it was certainly taking its toll on his looks. Bags were under his eyes, and his skin was pale. He opened several bottles of alcohol and couldn't stop drinking, being drunk even didn't stop his over working mind. He long sent his men home or out of his private quarters. He ran a hand through his locks and groaned. He buried his face into his hands and let his elbows hit his desk, causing a glass of alcohol to jump and fall, smashing to pieces on the hard wood floor, the liquid alcohol running everywhere. Leo ignored it and continued on in his thoughts.

I can't fucking believe it! It's not fucking fair...He's probably dead, drowned in the fucking canal that my fucking father owns. What if I'm questioned? Oh man...I went and fucking killed my high school crush! I drowned him, I practically murdered Naruto...Shit.

If Leo wasn't so macho, he would have been crying his eyes out. Sure he was rough with the blond, but that was only because of his deep affection for him. It also didn't help that Naruto kept rejecting him; he got beyond the point were he was forcing the blond to be with him. He didn't want to kill him...He didn't want to hurt him. He was just...A little obsessed. Leo looked up from his hands. His eyes were rimmed in red; regret flowed through him like a blood bath. He should have jumped. He should have followed the other guy and jumped in after the blond, but no...He had to freak out and run.

Perfect...Fucking perfect!

Leo was suddenly pissed. He stood up, causing his chair to fall backwards. He grabbed the lip of the desk and flipping it over, crashed onto the floor and making a loud booming sound.

"AAAHHHH!" he roared, kicking the still flipped over desk. Images of the blond kept filtering his mind, images from high school, present day, last week when he tried to seduce him on the bridge, high school again.

That smiling face, those blue eyes, a grin that could turn and cold rock into a diamond, why the hell did it have to be him!

Leo sighed and finally fell to the floor on his knees. He had to admit it now, he had been in love with Naruto since high school, he had tried to get the blond's attention through different methods. Picking on him, cornering him in locker rooms and hallways. Hell, he even did the girly thing and left notes and such, having some of his high school friends talk good about him around the blond. Nothing worked, but Leo couldn't help but fall in love with the innocence that was Naruto. The thick headedness, the random topics and loud brash attitude. He knew he loved the blond and this time, he royally fucked up...

His body is probably floating down the canal...I killed him and I...I...I don't know what to do...

"Naruto...Oh god...Naruto...I never meant...I just wanted you so badly...I'm so...I'm so sorry...I loved you, I truly loved you...Please..." Leo sat there in his misery. He slowly lifted his head when he suddenly realized something.

Wait...Didn't that guy, what's his name? Sake...Saracuse...Salsa...Whats his face? Didn't he jump after the blond?

Leo though it over in his head. The raven had indeed jumped and went after the blond...Was it possible that Naruto was rescued and lived? Leo stood up, and his eyes widened. His heart sped up and hope flowed through his entire body in desperation.

"He has to be alive! I have to know! I need to know! I won't rest until I find out. There is still a chance...There is a chance, he is still alive...I can still take the chance...HE WILL BE MINE!" He laughed uncontrollably and walked to his phone. He picked it up and dialed a quick number. It rang for a few moments, and someone finally picked up.

"Greg . . . Hey, get the boys together, don't ask questions just do it. Listen up. I need to find something out and quick. No bitching! Naruto might still be alive! Shut up I am not desperate, now do this or I'll slit your throats! Find out where he lives! I have to know; I don't want to hear bullshit . . . Have I been drinking? DO I FUCKING SOUND LIKE I HAVE BEEN DRINKING ASS HOLE? DO AS YOU'RE FUCKING TOLD, OR I'LL KILL YOU!" He slammed the phone and smiled to himself. He walked toward his bathroom and slammed the door shut. The walls rattled, and Leo took deep breaths. He touched his wall mirror and smiled.

Soon...Soon...Soon...Soon...I can have what's mine...
