DISCLAIMER(S): I do not own Naruto, that's Kishimoto-sama's job. I also do not own "All Around Me" by Flyleaf
"She really did that?" Sasuke asked incredulously. Naruto nodded and took a sip of his coffee. They had been sitting there for the past five minutes drinking their coffee and talking. Naruto had woken up the waitress who had blushed and immediately made them their coffee. The blonde sighed into his steaming cup.
"Yeah, at least that's what Sai told me when he texted me on the plane. And her dad got busted for being involved in a prostitution ring, so there's currently no president of Japan at the moment." Naruto deadpanned. Sasuke laughed into his coffee.
"Well, that's an interesting turn of events, huh?" He said lightly, smiling at Naruto. Naruto just stared at Sasuke, wondering why he was so different.
"Yeah..." He whispered. "Sasuke, what happened to you? Why didn't you come back after college ended?" He asked, looking the raven dead in the eye. Said man sighed sadly and stared back.
"You first, tell me about what you've been up to."
"Fine, I'll go first. Let's see, well, KIBA made it big, as you can see. We exploded out into the charts a year after you left. It's pretty fun, being in a band. No one tells you what to do and you can wake up when you want. It's kind of like one huge summer vacation. The downside is fangirls and fanboys. They are vicious, as you've seen. Though none were as drastic as Ayame, but they're still pretty wild. You never quite get used to the sight of your face tattooed on someone's ass." Naruto laughed and Sasuke smirked. "Well, ten years ago, I lived in the States for a while. It was a nice house in L.A. with a view of the ocean. But, that bored me, and we got the band to go on tour again and we made a new album. I've been though college myself; my major was music. Um, I haven't been with anyone since you left..."
"Really, are you serious?" Sasuke asked him, gazing at him thoughtfully. Naruto glared.
"Yes I am."
"Why?"
"Well, um," Naruto blushed, embarrassed, "I just didn't want to be with anyone else." He finished, looking away at the wall next to him. Sasuke smirked and reached over the counter to grasp his chin lightly. Turning his face back towards him, he stroked the blonde's cheek with his thumb.
"That's nice to know, Dobe." He said and leaned back, watching Naruto's face get redder.
"Ye-e-ah, and that's basically it. Oh, and I'm old. Like, really old." Naruto said, smiling. Sasuke smirked.
"You don't look old. Lucky you." Sasuke said darkly. Naruto watched him silently for a moment.
"What happened to you Sasuke?"
"Well, Naruto, it went like this. After I left you, forced by my father by the way."
"I know Sasuke."
"How do you know?"
"I heard everything you said to me that night at the hospital." Naruto said sheepishly, nearly laughing as he noticed the small, faint, uncharacteristic blush appearing on Sasuke's upper cheekbones.
"Did you now? Well, that just makes everything easier. I went to Oxford and had a grand old time. I hope you caught the sarcasm on that one. I didn't talk to anyone, kept to myself and my loneliness. It drove my dad mad because I didn't speak to any of the ladies he told me to meet. He tried so dang hard to get me straight and away from thoughts of you. The only person I got along with surprisingly almost killed me my first day. I accidentally walked into her and she gave me a black eye and almost threw me down the stairs before one of the professors stopped her. Her name was Temari Sabaku. She was a de- why are you laughing?"
"Oh, nothing, it's just I've met her before. She's Gaara's sister. She is very scary isn't she Teme?" Naruto mocked. Sasuke threw him a glare.
"Anyway, after I graduated, I had plans to go back home and meet up with you to apologize and stuff, but I got dragged into this really weird Uchiha cult. It was held in a huge mansion in the English countryside and basically they tortured all the poorer people. They dressed up kind of like the Ku Klux Klan in America."
"That still doesn't explain why you look forty-five and starving."
"I'm not finished. To join, we had to meet certain requirements. Somehow, the fact that I was gay slipped and they threw me in a cellar for fifteen years with one meal a day and no contact with the outside world. I know it doesn't seem believable, but trust me, it really happened. But a month ago, I escaped when someone came to give me my meal. I kicked their asses then stole my father's money. Oh, did that feel good. And, the rest, as they say, is history. I am now sitting here in front of you in Paris, France." Sasuke concluded. Naruto stared at him, wide-eyed.
"Sasuke, that's horrible!"
"So many people have said that lately, and oddly the only one I actually feel they mean it is you." Sasuke said. "Either that, or you're the only one who matters that says it." Naruto smiled slightly and turned to look out the window.
They sat in comfortable silence for a few minutes, Naruto staring out the window and Sasuke finishing up his coffee.
"Hey Sasuke?" Naruto asked. Sasuke looked at him. "You want to head home?" He voiced both their thoughts. Sasuke nodded, left some money on the table and followed Naruto out of the café.

As they walked along the streets to get to Sasuke's car, Naruto glanced up at the sky. The moon was shining brightly and the stars were twinkling. His breath came out in clouds and he smiled. He glanced over at the Uchiha, who had his hands in his pockets, staring into the distance.
My hands are searching for you
My arms are outstretched towards you
I feel you on my fingertips
My tongue dances behind my lips for you
The blonde wanted to grasp the Uchiha's hands and tell him all that he was feeling now. His arms stayed a little longer on the upside of their swing, wanting to grab the pale hand at its owner's side. The blonde's tongue rubbed against the front of his teeth.
This fire rising through my being
Burning I'm not used to seeing you
Sasuke looked out of the corners of his eyes and watched Naruto. Even in the cold of the night, he felt warm, warm with want. After twenty years of yearning for his love, didn't he have the right to finally want him (again) when they are just the two of them alone? It was perfect; the goddamn city of romance itself was spread out before them.
I'm alive, I'm alive
Sasuke stopped suddenly, causing Naruto behind him to cease movement. The blonde raised an eyebrow in confusion at the raven. Sasuke just stared at him with his onyx eyes. Naruto stared back with his blue ones. If anyone was around, they'd just turn back around, feeling unworthy to be intruding upon such a scene.
They just stood there, gazing at each other for a long time. Naruto placed his wrists on his head, not breaking eye contact. Sasuke mouthed words and the other had to squint to catch what they were saying.
My hands float up above me
And you whisper you love me
And I begin to fade
Into our secret place
Naruto closed his eyes after that. He knew that the raven loved him still, but did the raven know it was returned? Naruto had to hold back the urge to scream it to the heavens, knowing it would shatter the moment.
Both ears picked up the faint melodic swirl of music coming from a street corner somewhere nearby. The voice singing it spoke of love and passion in the French language.
The music makes me sway
The angels singing say we are alone with you
I am alone and they are too with you
Naruto's hips started moving side-to-side accidentally. It was a curse of being musically inclined. You just had to dance to every single beat you heard. Either that, or Naruto was just looking for away to escape the silence that hung in the air. He felt Sasuke's eyes upon his body, tracing every line, every fault. He blushed, thanking whoever that it was dark outside.
I'm alive, I'm alive
And so I cry
The light is white
And I see you
Naruto opened his eyes and saw Sasuke had appeared in front of him, invading his personal space. Not that Naruto cared the least. This was his wish, for Sasuke to be this close to him. For the past twenty years, he had done nothing but wish upon every star, wishbone, or prayer to have Sasuke this close to him again.
"Sasuke..." Naruto whispered. Said raven shook his head.
"Shhh. Don't ruin this with words..." He responded with soft words as he leaned in towards Naruto with closed eyes. Naruto's own eyes slid closed as he leaned up to meet Sasuke half way.
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing
Their lips met. Instantly, it was like bombs went off. Their strings of self-control broke and they fervently started to ravish each other by the lips. Naruto's hands dug themselves into the black locks of Sasuke's and the raven's hands were glued to each side of Naruto's face, guiding his lips in the right direction.
Sasuke sucked lightly at Naruto's bottom lip, and the blonde opened his mouth without much more persuasion. Their tongues clashed and they began mapping out their favorite mouths, trying to remember everywhere that made the other moan. Naruto sucked on Sasuke's tongue, who had begun to stroke his cheeks. Sasuke was surprised to find that Naruto was crying. He pulled away and searched Naruto's face for any sign of why he was tearing. Naruto just smiled and grabbed the raven's hand and caressed it against his face.
Take my hand
I give it to you
Now you owe me
All I am
You said you would never leave me
I believe you
I believe
When their eyes connected, they kissed again. This time more slowly, and more passionately. They each felt twenty years younger. It was as if time was washed away, taking with it everything that had happened that day. Sasuke had never been forced to leave. Naruto had never been broken. KIBA was still a little gay-bar band. They were back home, not in Paris. Sasuke was always with Naruto.
They began to walk towards the BMW trying hard not to stop kissing. When Naruto almost fell over the side of the bridge, they stopped and power walked as fast as they could to the car.
They didn't even bother getting into the front seats. Instead, Naruto was pushed onto the trunk and he pulled Sasuke with him, kissing madly, as he toppled over into the backseat, Sasuke on top of him. The red leather was soft against the blonde's back as he moaned when Sasuke brushed his hard-on. But that wasn't for tonight. They had the rest of their lives to do that.
I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healed
"I love you Sasuke," Naruto breathed as they split apart for air.
"I love you too, Naruto."
Awww, what a sappy ending! xD
BTW, for people who want smut, that'll be next chapter. ;)
Awwww Sasuke and Naruto are back together! (finally) My favorite paring, I just couldn't keep them apart any longer.
Yeah, I know Sasuke's story seemed a little bit...unbelievable...but there really was an Uchiha cult.
-OH SHIT! IT'S THE FUZZ! I didn't do anything.-
Review if you feel like it. I'm not forcing you with my mind. Not at all. n.n
