Sasuke rode fast through the dark night. The cold wind whipping against his cheeks helped him stay awake. Naruto had fallen asleep very early on in their journey. The omega's small body felt so fragile against his chest. Naruto's body occasionally trembled with shivers. Even with his overcoat on and Sasuke's body warmth Naruto was still cold. I must protect him. Sasuke chanted to him self. Thanks to the vigorous riding they had gotten to the hideout twenty minutes earlier than anticipated.
The hideout was a little wooden shack. Well not necessarily a shack, for a commoner it'd be a modest dwelling. It had two stories. The top floor however could not really be considered a floor. It only had one open spacious room with a large downy bed with a canopy over it to keep away the multitude of forest bugs while he slept. There were also other trivial things such as drawers and lamps. Downstairs was the living area, kitchen, storage room, and bathroom. Attached to the side of the house was a barn big enough for a single horse. The house was small and made for one person because that's exactly what it had been made for. It was Sasuke's home away from home. He came here many times before. Susano was so accustomed to being here that upon arrival he had automatically trotted over to the barn to sleep. He was exhausted from running so hard. Sasuke would give him a basket full of apples as a reward later for his hard work.
Thankfully Naruto was still asleep when they had arrived so Sasuke had carried him up to the bed upstairs and laid him on it. After that he quickly took another dose of medicine. He was relieved that Naruto was finally hidden and safe from Itachi.
Naruto awoke with a dry throat and soaked in sweat. He could barely recall the events of the previous night. His thoughts were scattered and there were large gaps like he had been unconscious for parts of it. What had happened?
"The pills on the bed stand. Please take them." A deep voice Naruto always heard in his dreams ordered.
"Sasuke-san?!" Naruto exclaimed in shock. Sasuke was at the furthest corner of the room sitting on a pillow. It looked like he had been there for a while. "Where are we? The last place Naruto remembered seeing Sasuke was on the gazebo. "What are you-" A sudden sharp throb in his abdomen made Naruto double over. He felt a strange wetness between his thighs seep down between them. It had the same consistency as honey. What was that?
"The pills, Naruto!" Sasuke sounded almost desperate, "take them now!"
Naruto jumped with how harsh Sasuke was screaming at him. He had never been yelled at by Sasuke before. He quickly swallowed the two pills dry. He was too scared to drink the water provided beside the pills.
"What are they for?" Naruto hiccupped. The pills had a bitter after taste. Sour, like a pickled plum. Not pleasant at all.
Sasuke watched Naruto on the bed. The space between them wasn't nearly enough. Just the image of Naruto lying on the bed was making him conjure up perverse thoughts. It had been a relatively sleepless night. He had managed to sleep for one full hour. "They're for your heat." Sasuke muttered.
"My heat?" Naruto didn't understand. A heat was what he had learned so much about from others around him. Itachi-san had showed him what it was, Gaara-san had explained to him what it was, and even Neji-kun had talked a little about it with him. He knew what it was which was why he was so confused, "I'm not supposed to get it yet though! There must be some mistake?"
"There is no mistake. You're in heat right now...because of me." The way Sasuke said it was like he got some internal pleasure from being the one responsible. There was guilt laced in his voice too though. "Don't worry. I brought you here to keep you safe from my brother. If he knew he'd take advantage of you. You'll be fine as long as you take those pills." And I don't attack you. Sasuke added on internally.
Naruto nodded. He wasn't happy at all. His heat was here which meant he could do those sorts of things. He wasn't as naive as his mother and others thought him to be. After Itachi had showed him those two people at Happiness House he had learned that there were ways that two people could be joined together physically. He didn't quite know what the act was called but sometimes at night he'd think about it and imagine Sasuke moving against him the way that man was with that woman. He wanted Sasuke to do that same act with him. He was offended that Sasuke was giving him the medicine. His primal thoughts were coming out and making their selves known thanks to the hormones being released because of his heat. Normally he would never have the nerve to assume that Sasuke should do that with him but right now his thoughts and desires were more honest. "I don't want to take the medicine." Naruto groaned as another throb stabbed at his lower stomach and more of the honey like substance oozed out of him. It was starting to get uncomfortable.
"Don't be difficult. You need to take the medicine, it'll help with the pain." Sasuke sounded as if he weren't fully breathing. Like he was trying to take as little breaths as he possibly could.
"I want you!" Naruto lurched again. The pain was searing but it was the heat between his legs that hurt the most.
"What's wrong with you?" Sasuke was confused; the medicine should've taken effect already. Why was Naruto still letting out pained whimpers? And his scent...Sasuke shouldn't have been able to smell it but he was starting to pick up faint wisps of it in the air. It was abnormally fragrant.
"It hurts...my stomach. I feel hot everywhere!" The heat from between his legs had spread all over his body. His arms and legs were shaking. He couldn't stop it. With each passing second the heat worsened, the throbbing deep inside him was quickly becoming worse than the heat burning his skin. He threw the heavy covers off him and instinctually rolled onto his hands and knees.
"The pills...why didn't they work?" Sasuke plugged his nose, he had taken medicine already, he should be able to control himself but the sight of Naruto on all fours so submissively was penetrating his iron will. He had to control himself. He had made a promise to Haku that he intended to keep! But gods he wasn't expecting to be tempted this early on? He thought he could handle this!
"Sasuke-san, I'm scared." Naruto's voice heightened. "Please touch me!" Naruto arched his back and swayed his ass. In the next second he heard the fabric of the canopy rip and then felt Sasuke align his body against his back. Sasuke's lips were right beside his ear, Naruto shuddered as ragged breaths left the alphas lips and fanned right across his heated ear.
"Touch me, please!" Naruto cried. He needed stimulation, anything! He just wanted to be touched by Sasuke!
"Stop, calm down." Sasuke urged himself to take his own advice. The pills should've worked! He didn't understand?
"Sasuke-san," Naruto mewled as he rocked his ass back against Sasuke's groin. His hips had never moved in such a lewd way but his hormones were making him shameless. He gyrated his hips against Sasuke's enclosed member immodestly "Make the pain go away," Naruto cried.
"You don't even know what you're asking of me!" Sasuke's will was wavering fast. He grounded his hips down against Naruto's ass. He wanted to tear off the obnoxious yukata Naruto was wearing. He wanted to see all of Naruto. He unconsciously rubbed his hand against one of Naruto's ass cheeks, feeling up the plump soft flesh in his hand.
"Please, Sasuke-san!" Naruto sounded like he was crying. Sasuke couldn't handle it anymore. If he didn't get away right now he'd snap and actually give Naruto what he was begging so desperately for.
"I have to go, this was a terrible idea, I should've known I wasn't strong eno-"
"Go? No, don't leave me!" Naruto whirled around and shot his shaking arms around Sasuke's neck. He clung on like his life depended on it.
With the new position Sasuke's face was buried right into Naruto's neck. The medicine he had taken not even an hour ago could not stop him from smelling Naruto's scent. It was so concentrated here, nothing could mask it. For the first time Sasuke was getting a full on smell of Naruto's scent in heat. His pulse quickened. The coldness of Naruto's collar against his lips made his blood boil. Anger ran through him and bubbled out into a low snarl.
Naruto's body stilled instantly. The sound of the alpha growling made fear freeze him stiff. He had misinterpreted the noise as Sasuke being displeased with him over something he had done.
"Sorry." Naruto apologized demurely.
"Don't be." Sasuke wasn't angry with Naruto, he was pissed off at his brother for collaring Naruto. It wouldn't even have mattered if it were Itachi who had done it. He would've been furious with any alpha that tried to collar Naruto. Not even a day ago he had stupidly believed that he'd be happy if Naruto found himself a "good" mate who was worthy of him. Now he knew that had been utter and complete bullshit. The truth was no alpha was good enough for Naruto. Not even himself.
"Sasuke-san?" Naruto stared up at the alpha. Sasuke's black bangs hung in his red eyes as he looked lost in thought. He looked troubled. Naruto didn't like it.
"Hmm?" Sasuke came to. He looked down and instantly felt a jolt of desire shoot through him. Naruto was staring up at him through lidded eyes. His pink lips were down turned in a sad frown. He was fighting back the maddening lust of his heat but Naruto could still make such a sorrowful face for him? Naruto really did love him so much. He hated thinking about how Naruto felt about him but right now it was almost enough to bring him to tears. Naruto loved him unconditionally. What had he done to deserve such a thing? Because truly he was undeserving of such loyal and fierce love. But gods was he glad he was the one Naruto had chosen to give that love to. Even though he knew he wasn't worthy of it he'd be damned if it had gone to anyone else but him. He sounded like a madman even in his own mind. But what could he do? Love was a strong entity that made even the wisest men insane.
"Are you okay?" Naruto hugged Sasuke around his neck and gently brought the alphas head to rest on his chest. Like a mother would do for her baby. He ran his fingers through Sasuke's silk soft black tresses, calmly waiting for Sasuke to answer. He didn't even know it but he was letting off his calming pheromones.
Sasuke closed his eyes and relaxed underneath Naruto's ministrations. He still had the burning desire to mate but he was calming down. Whether it was the medicine finally kicking in or if it was just him coming to the realization that he had someone who loved him unconditionally he didn't know. Naruto's chest was hot, he could feel the omegas heat radiating off of him through his thin yukata. "I'm okay but you're not." Sasuke raised his head so he could look at Naruto. "I can't give you what you want but I can help ease the pain."
Naruto's eyes darkened. He was hurt at Sasuke's refusal. The sudden look of betrayal wounded Sasuke. He wanted to retract and tell Naruto he was only kidding and that he'd gladly mate him but he had made a promise. Plus there was the matter of Naruto's age.
"I'm sorry but I promised Haku I wouldn't mate you."
"But it's my body! My mother has no say in who I choose to mate!" Naruto protested.
"That isn't entirely true. You're still only in your sixteenth year. Haku does have a say in the eyes of the law." Uchiha were above the law but that didn't matter. "Besides you don't even know what mating entails do you?"
"I don't but you can teach me! I don't care about anything else I want you!" Naruto winced as another more painful ache throbbed at his lower stomach. "Hnn" Naruto threw his head back and moaned. He unknowingly opened his legs. It allowed for Sasuke to sink closer against Naruto's body while simultaneously making it easier to smell the sweet scent of Naruto's slick.
"I know you do." Sasuke took a shaky breath. If he were a smarter man he would've used the sudden bought of clarity to get away from Naruto as fast as he could but he was not a smart man. He was a fool for this lovely omega. What he was about to do was something only a crazed idiot would do. "I can't mate you but I can scent mark you." Scent marking Naruto would put his ability to control to the ultimate test but it was better than giving into his other desire. "Would you like that?"
Naruto nodded, giving in. Sasuke knew Naruto wanted so much more than just a scent mark but that's all he could give.
Sasuke took a deep breath. He tilted Naruto's head back and hovered his lips over the bare spot right underneath his collar. He held back his instinct to bite the collar off. No matter how hard he tried he knew it wouldn't be coming off. His brother really had purchased a top of the line collar. He wanted nothing more than to bite Naruto's actual scent gland so that he could taste Naruto's scent at its core but he didn't want to hurt him trying to take the collar off.
"Bite me, please." Naruto's breath was coming out in short pants. The anticipation was consuming him.
Sasuke kissed the smooth flesh as if apologizing for what he was about to do then bit down. He sucked hard. He had broken through Naruto's skin on the first bite. Blood washed over his tongue. Naruto let out a pained whimper. Sasuke moved to pull away, he wanted to keep sucking but he didn't want to hurt Naruto. Before he could move though Naruto wrapped his legs around Sasuke's waist, trapping him.
"Don't stop. Feels good." Naruto said brokenly.
Sasuke obliged. He sunk his teeth back in and sucked. Naruto's scent invaded all his senses. There was nothing on this world as good as the taste of Naruto's scent. Perhaps the taste of his slick would be just as good though...Sasuke's thoughts tipped over to the not so innocent as he suckled.
Naruto mewled. He rubbed his hips up against Sasuke. Rocking forth as a sign to let the alpha know that he was more than willing to allow entrance inside him. Sasuke licked the bite mark on Naruto's neck. He had gotten a little carried away because no matter how hard he licked pinpricks of blood stood behind. The cuts were deep. Naruto didn't even seem to mind though. He was blissfully still rocking his hips.
"Do you feel better?" Sasuke murmured with his lips still centimeters away from Naruto's neck.
"Mm," Naruto affirmed. An omegas heat made them feel like they had literal flames burning inside them but Sasuke's bite had made the flames heat lessen a little bit. Not enough for comfort but Naruto felt as if he could see through the fog right now.
"It probably won't last." Sasuke thought out loud. He didn't know why the pills didn't work for Naruto. His only sound guess was that they had expired seeing as how Sakura hadn't used them since she got pregnant.
"Then you'll have to bite me again." Naruto smiled softly. The feel of Sasuke so close made him feel calm and happy. It was the first semi reprieve he had since he awoke.
"I can't keep biting you though, I need to ride to the closets town and get you a new prescription. Your heat will grow in intensity with each passing day."
"Don't leave me!" Naruto panicked abruptly. He tightened his legs around Sasuke.
Sasuke was taken aback by how needy Naruto was. It made him happy though. He laughed and stuck his tongue out to lick at Naruto's bite mark again. "I won't leave then." He'd have to find some way to go without Naruto noticing. Scent marking him all week long sounded like heaven but he didn't know how well he'd be able to control himself and keep his promise if he'd have to scent Naruto every few hours. Plus when Naruto reached the apex of his heat a scent mark would probably not be enough for him.
"I love you, Sasuke-san." Naruto yawned. For once his body was stable enough that he could succumb to sleep willingly. Even though he had just woken up he was tired again. His body was going through a tiresome process that it was still not adept to handle. It was missing two years of development so it made sense that he was so sleepy.
If Naruto had fought his sleep a second longer he would've heard the words he had wanted to hear all his life from Sasuke.
"I love you too."
Sasuke couldn't sleep even if he tried. And he had. He had tried very, very hard to succumb to unconsciousness. He was mildly successful at first; he had managed to sleep for about forty minutes but then had woken up. His body was too aware of the omega in heat right beside him on the bed. He felt like his body was buzzing. As if someone had liquefied electrify and shot it through his veins. It had been like that during the night too. It was a feeling he had never experienced before. It both terrified and excited him. He had had countless ruts in his lifetime but none had ever manifested such a reaction. He could only come to the conclusion that it was Naruto that was making him feel that way. But why? Was this the power of love or maybe something greater?
"Hnnmsuke..." Naruto abruptly mumbled smacking his lips in a particularly childish manner before rolling over and going back to sleep. The omega was covered in a sheen of sweat. Soft fine hairs stuck to his forehead and nape. His yukata had begun to cling to his skin so Sasuke had covered him earlier to avoid being tempted. Right now Naruto's heat was only being controlled by the pheromones Sasuke had injected into him through the scent mark. He had no clue how long it'd last since he had never scent marked an omega in heat before. He hoped it lasted longer than the pills had. A thought struck Sasuke right then. Naruto was asleep which meant it was the best moment to ride into town and get him a dose of medication. He wouldn't be able to once Naruto woke up. The omega would bar him from leaving. It'd only take him two hours to get there even less if he rode hard. It was plenty of enough time but...he couldn't go. The thought of leaving Naruto alone, even for a few hours, did not bode well with him. It was too much time. What if something happened while he was gone? What if a wandering alpha or even worse Itachi broke in while he was away? It was very unlikely for either of those two scenarios to happen. The hideout was secure, no one knew about it and it was nearly impossible to find but still. He couldn't chance it. He was being ridiculous and he knew it. Naruto needed those pills. Without them he'd suffer and so would Sasuke. He'd have to keep torturing himself with drinking in Naruto's scent. The best thing for the both of them would be for him to go but he just couldn't.
Sasuke sighed. "What are you doing to me, crybaby?"
Naruto of course didn't reply. He was still asleep. He'd most likely awake soon though. Before that happened Sasuke wanted to take another pill and also eat something. He needed to clear his head. He had been resisting for not even two days yet and already it was taking a toll on him.
He got up and went down stairs. It was cold in the wooden cabin. There was a draft in the air. He quickly put some logs into the fireplace so that the little cabin could warm up. He hadn't wanted to set the fire because of the smoke that would billow out of the chimney. It could potentially give away their position if someone were to see it but that was a chance Sasuke was willing to take. He'd rather have Naruto warm, besides he could always fight off an intruder.
After the fire was roaring in the little hearth Sasuke went to the kitchen. There wasn't much food stored away. When he came to the hideout he was always alone. There was never any need to keep a lot of food packed. All he had were apples which he had there for Susano, some cherry tomatoes he had picked on his last stay at the hideout, strawberry jam that he had purchased from a old street vendor weeks ago, some ripe pears that were at that stage where they were becoming too sweet to eat, and lastly he had some stale salt crackers still perfectly edible but a little hard. He couldn't make a meal with any combinations of the foods. Sasuke was stumped. If he were only feeding himself he would've just ate a handful of the cherry tomatoes then ate a pear for a dessert but he wasn't the only one eating. Naruto would be starving when he woke up. The omega hadn't had anything to eat in the last few hours. An omega in heat burned more energy than they did during their non-heat cycle. Naruto needed more than just a few cherry tomatoes and fruit. Naruto needed protein. Getting the meat wasn't the issue. A lush forest that housed various protein sources surrounded the cabin. The problem was that Sasuke didn't want to leave Naruto alone while he went out to hunt. Once again he knew he was being stupid. The omega needed food, hell they both did. A rut took a lot of energy out of an alpha too. But he still couldn't convince himself to leave Naruto. It was like he was unable to, the electricity like currents began to sting when he even thought about leaving Naruto. They felt tethered to Naruto in an odd way. He couldn't explain it properly, the feeling was indescribable really. If he were to actually leave Naruto the buzzing current would probably hurt. He didn't want to test out that theory.
"Sasuke-kun?"
Sasuke startled. He hadn't heard Naruto approach him. He had been so lost in thought he hadn't even heard Naruto wake up. "Where are your clothes?" Sasuke asked flabbergasted. All he could see was Naruto's lack of clothing attire. He had taken off his yukata and had wrapped the thin satin top sheet of the bed around his body.
"That stuff got all over it. It was all sticky." Naruto edged closer. The effects of his heat were obvious. His cheeks and the tips of his ears were red. He was short of breath and shaky on his legs. It was a miracle he could even stand and form cognitive thoughts. It'd be so easy to push him to the ground and force him. Part his legs and slide right in. And then knot him until he couldn't move. A lesser alpha would've certainly done so. Sasuke looked away. He was terribly tempted to succumb to his primal alpha urges.
"You should go bathe. That stuff you're talking about is your slick." Sasuke coughed awkwardly as he said the last word. It was embarrassing. He was teaching Naruto the sexual functions of his body. It made him feel like an even bigger pervert.
"Slick?" Naruto questioned confused.
"Ah, um the sticky stuff is your slick. It comes out when an omega wants to...mate. Don't worry it's normal."
"But there's so much!" Naruto was drawing closer as he spoke. Naturally drawn in by the alpha and his scent.
Sasuke's jaw clenched thinking of Naruto's slick. The slick would make the inside of Naruto's thighs shiny and more importantly his asshole nice and soft. Making it so easy to penetrate-"Just go bathe." Before I attack you.
"But-"
"I SAID GO!" Sasuke roared.
Naruto gasped then started to cry. His reaction was instantaneous. "Why do you hate me, Sasuke-san?!" Naruto glared through his tears, "you're so mean to me!" Naruto wasn't crying because Sasuke had yelled at him he was crying because he had had been rejected by the alpha earlier and it was just now dawning on him. The refusal to mate affected him more than even he could ever know. Even if he didn't know the details of mating all he knew was that he had been rejected. An omega that willingly submitted themselves to an alpha in a bid to mate did not handle rejection easily. Just like Haku had said when an omega loved they loved hard. Sasuke had heard tales of some omegas who even committed suicide after being turned down. He had thought it was an exaggeration, he had never seen or personally known an omega who had done such a thing. Naruto had taken it pretty well yesterday but now he knew the reason for that was because Naruto had been under the influence of his scent mark. It had taken effect before he could really react. Sasuke had never heard Naruto use this stern tone and much less witnessed such an angry expression grace his usually soft features. To think that the meek and docile Naruto who was always blushing could make such a face was just as thrilling as it was alarming.
"Why did you even bring me here if all you're going to do is be mean to me! I might as well leave!" Naruto turned to stride towards the door. Sasuke was still trying to process Naruto's sudden mood swing but he damn sure as hell wasn't going to let the crybaby leave. He ran quickly behind Naruto and swooped the omega into his arms.
"You're not going anywhere." Sasuke had to calm down. He was feeling too many emotions. He was angry that Naruto would even dare to think to go outside in nothing but a blanket while still in heat. But then he was also hurt that Naruto thought he was being mean. And then there was the ever-present lust relentlessly burning at his loins urging him to mate Naruto. He was really going to go insane at this rate.
Naruto's body shuddered at the skin to skin contact. He shrunk in Sasuke's arms. The softness returned slowly to his face but his lips remained pouted. "Put me down."
"I won't until you promise me you're not going to try and leave again."
Naruto glared. "Why shouldn't I?"
"Because you're in heat!" Sasuke said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"So what?" Naruto began to shake as he spoke. Being so close to Sasuke, pressed right against his hard chest and feeling his arms around him...it was making him 'slick' but he didn't want to show how affected he was. Sasuke didn't want him. His heart panged even while thinking it.
"I'm not letting you leave." Sasuke took a deep breath. He could smell Naruto's slick. Fresh and so sweet to his nose. He mentally wondered what Naruto's slick would taste like on his tongue. "Especially while you're letting off such a strong scent. Someone might catch your scent in the wind and find you."
"Let them! At least they'd want me!" Naruto's tears began to fall again. He was so frustrated. All he wanted was Sasuke's love. How many times did he need to say it? "Put me down!"
"Sorry." Sasuke didn't obey the omegas command. He brought Naruto's chin up and wiped away his salty tears. Naruto stared up. He was shocked at how tender Sasuke was being. "Like I said yesterday I can't mate you but I can help."
"A scent mark is not enou-" Naruto began to rant but Sasuke suddenly silenced him with a swift kiss to his lips. His complaints fizzled away as he felt Sasuke's tongue probe pass his lips and stroke against his own tongue. Soft, gentle, and yet demanding all at the same time. Naruto melted in Sasuke's arms. His arms naturally went up and threaded in the back of Sasuke's hair. He knotted his fingers into the silky black stands as Sasuke gently sucked on his tongue then went right back to kissing him hard. All Naruto could do was let the alpha kiss him in whatever way he pleased. He was in bliss. He mewled when Sasuke finally broke away. He didn't want it to end.
"Don't think that I don't want you because I do."
"You want me?" Naruto sang breaking into a smile. He couldn't believe it!
"I do." That was a laughable understatement. Sasuke wanted to claim Naruto's body in every conceivable possible way. "Trust me when I say it's hard for me to control myself too."
"It's doesn't have to be hard." Naruto spoke with his lips still slightly against Sasuke's red ones. Their ragged breaths intermingled between them. Both still breathless from the kiss. "I've already given you permission." Naruto's dewy hooded eyes locked with Sasuke's red ones.
"I-I-" Sasuke's reasoning felt like it was being erased with the smoldering look Naruto was giving him. All he could feel was the warm love radiating from Naruto. He wanted to bask in it and take the omega up on his offer. It was torture. "I can't-I-I made a promise to Haku."
Naruto flickered his gaze down. He didn't have to say anything. Sasuke could visibly see he had hurt the omega once again by turning him down. He couldn't stand it; it actually hurt him to see Naruto hurt. "I'm sorry, I want to-I really do but-"
"Put me down." Naruto cut the alpha off.
"You're not going to try and leave are you?"
"No, now put me down." This time Sasuke actually obeyed Naruto's command. He set the omega onto his feet.
"Where are you going?" Sasuke asked as Naruto began to walk away.
"To bathe." Naruto said coldly. He sashayed away into the bathroom and made sure to lock the door.
Sasuke sighed. He felt horrible but there was nothing he could do. He would not break his promise no matter how much he wanted to.
While Naruto bathed Sasuke took two pills instead of one and then tried to formulate some kind of edible breakfast from his limited ingredients. He had spread the jam onto the crackers and cut up the pears and one apple on the side. It wasn't enough to be called breakfast, at most it was a healthy snack. While prepping the pseudo meal Naruto had come up to him fresh from his bath and had actually approached him to scent mark him. The omega was in pain so of course he had put his pride aside and approached him. It was clear from how Naruto didn't meet his eyes or say a word that the omega was still mad at him. Nevertheless Sasuke complied and bit Naruto's neck on the same spot as last time. It was a little easier the second time around but not by much.
After that they ate the snack Sasuke had prepared. The food wasn't enough. Sasuke was still starving after and he could tell by the way Naruto was unconsciously licking the jam off his butter knife that the omega wanted more too. There was no helping it, Sasuke would need to go out and hunt down some protein. The only way he could do that was if Naruto went with him. It wasn't ideal but the alternative of leaving him alone in the cabin was far worse.
"I know you're not happy with me but what do you say we go out for a bit?" Sasuke proposed calmly.
Naruto perked at the suggestion. He sucked the rest of the sweet jam from his butter knife then stood up.
It wasn't a verbal reply but Sasuke took it as a yes. The omega would've stayed seated if he didn't want to go. "Go put on your over coat I'll be outside waiting."
Naruto gave no reply. He walked up the steps. Sasuke sighed. He put some apples into a tin bucket for Susano then went out. It was cold outside. A somber day to reflect his mood. He went over to Susano. The horse bristled at the sight of his owner. Sasuke stroked Susano's wooly white mane and fed him some apples. It was his reward for his valiant riding last night.
"Are you ready to go on a hunt, boy?" Susano snorted, he was more interested in the apples than his master. Sasuke smiled. Despite his regal appearance Susano was a playful horse. Sasuke readied the harness as Susano finished chowing down on the rest of his apples. Susano was ready all that was needed was Naruto. Where was the omega? All he had to do was retrieve his over coat. Just as Sasuke began to worry Naruto's bright blonde head exited the cabin. The omegas eyes were downcast. He had a faint blush on his cheeks and had changed into a different yukata. Why?
"What took you so long?" Sasuke kept his tone light to show that he wasn't angry just curious.
Naruto kept his eyes to the side, not acknowledging the alpha. His blush grew darker. So Naruto was keeping up his game of the silent treatment? He couldn't hold it against the omega. It was what Sasuke deserved. He cleared his throat and led Susano out into the open field.
"I'm going to lift you okay?" Sasuke cautioned. Naruto again didn't reply. 'Do what you want' was practically written across his face. Sasuke carried Naruto underneath his armpits and set him on Susano's back. He then jumped on behind the omega, securing him against his waist. He shouted a command and they were off. Galloping into the thick forest ahead of them.
They stopped at an open clearing about twenty minutes away from the cabin. Sasuke hadn't intended to go so far into the forest but he wanted to catch bigger game. If he could catch a deer it'd last them all week. It'd be better than catching a rabbit or some other small critter and having to go back out to catch another the next day.
Sasuke dismounted and then helped Naruto off. The omega averted his eyes as Sasuke carried him down. The air between them was stagnant. The omega had so much undeserved trust in him though that he hadn't even questioned the purpose of this outing. Since Naruto wasn't speaking to him the omega couldn't ask what was going on but Sasuke was sure by now Naruto was at least curious even if he was still angry.
"I'm going to try and hunt a deer so that we can have something other than crackers to eat. Stick close to me okay?" Sasuke explained as he retrieved his riffle from the side satchel tied on Susano. Naruto's eyes widened at the sight of the gun. Had he never seen one before?
"Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you. It's a weapon to hunt the deer with."
Naruto stared at the weapon with rapt interest. How did it work? He wanted to know but he wouldn't ask.
They walked together a little deeper into the thick bush of the forest until they happened upon a clearing with a pond a little off in the distance. There on the banks was a stag lapping up water. Sasuke craned his neck back and put his finger to his lips to motion Naruto to keep quiet. Naruto's eyes were wide, he was excited and nervous and all together fascinated by what was happening.
Sasuke aimed his gun. He felt Naruto's eyes on him now. It didn't make him nervous to have the omega watch him. It instead made him feel prideful. He was going to kill the stag in order to sustain Naruto. He felt good providing for Naruto. That was what an alpha was supposed to do. He squinted one eye and lined the deer up with the end of his rifle then took the shot. The deer was dead instantly. Naruto screamed, as expected. The rifle was loud. In his fear he clung to Sasuke. Even while holding the weapon the one Naruto trusted the most was Sasuke.
"It's okay. It's over. He's dead, see?"
Naruto peeked over and saw the deer lying unmoving on the ground.
"It gave up its life so that we can eat, let's go recite a prayer over his corpse."
Naruto nodded. He was still riled up by the loud bang. Sasuke grabbed Naruto's hand and led him to the dead stag.
They prayed together for a minute.
"How…?" Naruto stared questioningly at the gun still held in Sasuke's hand. In his curiosity he had broken his silent treatment.
"It's a gun." Sasuke smiled as Naruto unconsciously got closer to him. "It works by propelling out bullets which you aim at your target to strike it down. They're used more often in the West." He held up the weapon to show Naruto.
"Does it hurt?" Naruto eyes followed down to the bloody patch on the deer's brown fur. It wasn't moving at all. Like magic once Sasuke struck him it had fallen.
"If used correctly the target will die instantly so they wont feel pain for long." Sasuke could see Naruto's face contort with worry. "Don't worry, I promise you he didn't suffer."
"Okay…"
"I'll teach you how to use it sometime if you want?" It'd be good for Naruto to learn a defensive skill.
Naruto's eyes lit up. "Okay."
After that Sasuke mounted the stag onto Susano's back then they walked back to the cabin. By the time they got back Naruto's cold treatment towards Sasuke's had thawed tremendously. He was still mad but was now actually making eye contact and not giving mean looks. He was also talking to him again. Well, not full on sentences but little comments about the scenery and such. It was an improvement from earlier though so Sasuke didn't mind.
"Here." Sasuke set a plate full of fire-roasted meat in front of Naruto. He had skinned the stag and cooked it as soon as they got home. Naruto had watched him from afar. He meekly observed Sasuke prepare his plate then bring it over to him.
"Thank you." Naruto's stomach gurgled just by seeing the juicy meat glistening on his plate. A great intense hunger came over him. He grabbed the big piece of meat with both his hands and chomped down into the tender flesh of the deer. He practically inhaled the entire slab. After he was done he sucked on the bone then proceeded to suck the remaining juices off his fingers. Only after the last finger was clean did Naruto come to his senses. What had just happened? He had eaten like a wild beast. That was not a way a geisha was supposed to eat! Haku had taught him to take little bites and to always dab his mouth with his napkin after every other bite when eating meat. What had come over him for him to eat so wildly? Yes, he had been hungry but not hungry enough to do what he had just done! Naruto hesitantly casted a glance at Sasuke. He was expecting to be judged for his poor table manners but instead found that the alpha was staring at him in awe.
"S-sorry." Naruto hiccuped as he attempted to save face.
Sasuke deftly shook his head. He was deeply pleased by seeing Naruto eat with such wild abandon. His alpha side was practically smitten. He had managed to feed Naruto something delicious. "It's okay. I'll get you some more." Sasuke wanted to see it again. The sight of Naruto sucking on his fingers with grease all over his cheeks was somehow erotic. It was such a drastic different image than he was used to seeing. Sweet little Naruto could turn into such a beast.
"No, I'm not hungry anymore." Naruto squirmed in his seat. Sasuke was staring hard. It was making him react.
"Are you sure? There's plenty more." Sasuke offered with his hooded eyes still glued on Naruto's form.
Naruto quickly shook his head no. Sasuke was looking at him too much! Did the alpha even realize the way he was looking at him? It was so intense! Naruto rubbed his butt on his chair. He was starting to slick.
"Excuse me!" Naruto jumped up and ran to the bathroom. He splashed cold water on his face. He was starting to heat up again. He could feel the heat rising. This wasn't good. He was becoming more and more sensitive. With just a single look from Sasuke he had become wet. It wasn't fair! All Sasuke had to do was look at him and his body became like this? Naruto pressed his thighs together as he leaned against the sinks edge. The slick was seeping down his inner thigh! There was no helping it; he was going to have to alleviate himself. He hitched his yukata up around his waist then got onto his hands and knees. He arched his back and slipped his fingers into himself. He was so wet that two fingers easily slid in. He moaned into the sleeve of his yukata as he thrusted his fingers roughly in and out of himself. He had done this earlier too. When Sasuke had gone outside to wait for him the reason he had taken so long was because he had gotten caught up in touching himself. He was ashamed, even more so earlier since he was supposed to be angry with Sasuke for rejecting him. Even though he knew Sasuke wouldn't touch him he still craved the alphas touch. His body had a mind of its own just like now it was buzzing all over and flushed with heat. He was throbbing between his legs. He pressed his hips down a little so that his cock could rub against the cold bathroom tile. The coldness felt so good on his heated skin. He added another finger. It wasn't enough. Not nearly enough. His lower belly was still throbbing. He needed more. He needed Sasuke-
As Naruto lost himself in the pleasure he failed to hear the three consecutive knocks on the bathroom door, Sasuke politely asking him if everything was okay, then the quiet groan of the door opening when he got no answer.
"Naruto? Is everything okay? Did the meat make you sick?" Hearing Sasuke's voice should've been shocking enough for Naruto to stop but his fingers kept going. If anything hearing Sasuke's voice made him even wetter. He pushed his fingers deeper inside.
"What are you-" Sasuke's voice caught in his throat. It was thick, like he was suffocating on his own tongue.
"Hnn!" Naruto turned around. He was too far gone now to care about anything else but the pleasure. He was so hot, everywhere was burning hot. Especially inside. He was scared. It wasn't like this the last time. It felt stronger. "Sasuke-san, please help me!"
Sasuke mouth went completely dry. His eyes were transfixed on Naruto's slim fingers going in and out of his asshole. His trembling legs were spread wide open and his pink cock was bobbing up and down from the force of his fingers movements. His hair was a mess, fanned out behind him. His yukata was pushed up around his waist, the left side hung completely off his shoulder exposing his pink nipple. But it was the look in Naruto's eyes. The look of complete lust and yearning that drew Sasuke in the most.
Sasuke snapped. As if he were being controlled he scooped Naruto off the dirty bathroom floor and carried him upstairs to the bed. He threw Naruto on the soft mattress. Naruto landed with a soft "unnf." His legs immediately spread open the moment his back hit the bed. He held his legs open by twining his hand underneath himself and placing them on the back of his thighs so that he was almost bent in half.
Sasuke growled at the open display. Such a lewd invitation made his inner alpha very happy. "Such a nice view all for me." Sasuke stalked onto the bed and hovered over Naruto. He purposely let his body press against Naruto's. Letting his clothed erection rub against Naruto's wet entrance.
"Please." Naruto cried. He was already rocking his hips. He needed to be touched.
Sasuke smiled wickedly. The smell Naruto was letting out was wrapping itself around him. It was controlling him. It was so strong, strong enough to even control an alpha like him. He wasn't entirely himself right now. His alpha had been lured out by Naruto's scent. "You want me?" Sasuke stated the obvious. Naruto was soaking wet. It was obscene really. His tight virgin hole all glistening and wet, self lubricating so that Naruto could be penetrated. It was nature at its finest. An omegas body was designed to be held.
"Yessss!" Naruto shifted his hands from the back of his thighs to his asscheeks and pulled them apart so that Sasuke could see just how much he wanted him. Naruto didn't even know what it was he was begging for. His instincts were just telling him that he needed to be filled. Claim me, claim me, claim me…
"So beautiful." Sasuke bent and licked a single stripe up Naruto's pink button. The thick slick coated his tongue. It was as sweet as sugar. He wasn't even fond of sweets but since it was Naruto he loved the taste. It was definitely as good as sucking in his scent. Sasuke licked again. Sucking until almost all the slick was gone. It didn't matter though, as soon as he stopped more slick accumulated. It slowly seeped out of Naruto's hole, trickling down the seam of the line of his ass.
"No more, please-inside!" Naruto begged. He was pleading with his entire heart and soul. He was long pass functional cognitive thought. His heat had consumed him.
Sasuke was on a similar path. Naruto's scent was quickly consuming him too. The rational part of him that knew he shouldn't be doing this was fading away as his inner alpha took more and more control. He was becoming a beast. "You smell so good." Sasuke slipped a finger inside Naruto. Naruto whined for more, which Sasuke obliged by inserting two more fingers. "So wet." Sasuke jerked his fingers inside which caused a squelching noise to be made. He curled his fingers and pushed up where he knew Naruto's prostate to be. Naruto cried out when Sasuke hit those bundles of nerves. It was like nothing he had ever felt before.
"Never hit that deep have you?" Sasuke rubbed against Naruto's prostate again. "It'll feel even better when I replace my fingers with the tip of my cock. Do you want that?"
Naruto nodded, his lips were parted and his eyes glassed over. "I want only you," Naruto shakily wrapped his arms around Sasuke's neck and whispered in his ear, "I love you. Make me yours, please." Naruto collapsed back onto the bed.
Sasuke was frozen. Naruto's words had gotten through to him. He should not be doing this! He couldn't mate Naruto. He had promised Haku he wouldn't! But feel how ready he is for you…Sasuke's inner alpha cooed. Feel how soft he is inside. Sasuke looked down to where his fingers were inside Naruto. Naruto was indeed soft inside. Imagine how good he'll feel wrapped around your dick. His alpha continued. Your knot won't ever go down. You'll feel so good. Sasuke's eye twitched, shut up! He internally cursed the metaphorical alpha voice that in reality was his own subconscious. Why? You know I'm right. When's the last time you let your knot swell and actually enjoyed it? You love this omega, you know he's special. He's devoted himself to you so end his suffering and claim him already!
Sasuke growled. His inner alpha was right! He was fighting so hard to control him self and for what? For the sake of his friend? For his own selfish insecurities? For social morality? Fuck all of that! Resisting was hurting both him and Naruto! He had tried so hard he really had but when something feels as destined as this there really is no stopping it.
Sasuke took a deep breath. He didn't want to lose himself in his rut. He wanted to properly do this. He wanted Naruto to be clear headed too so he quickly scent marked Naruto. The injection of his pheromones managed to bring Naruto a little bit out of the haze but not by much. His heat had gotten stronger so a simple scent mark wasn't as effective as before. By tomorrow it'd probably have no effect at all. And to think Sasuke had thought it would work up until Naruto's heats apex.
"Naruto, listen to me." Sasuke took his fingers out and grabbed Naruto's cheeks to force the omega to make eye contact.
"Hmm?" Naruto stared up lovingly at Sasuke.
"I never told you but I love you too!" Sasuke wanted Naruto to know at least that much before he mated him. "I don't know how long-fuck, maybe since that day on the bridge I felt something for you…but I do, I love you!"
Since Naruto was loopy with heat Sasuke hadn't expected for Naruto to truly understand what he had said but to his surprise Naruto had reacted.
"You love me?" Naruto repeated in disbelief. Years of unrequited love had finally just been returned. Miraculously the strong emotional stimuli had been even more effective in sobering him up than the scent mark had been. It was like a shock to his system. He sat up on his elbows. "You love me?" Naruto repeated again in disbelief as he started to cry.
"I do, crybaby. I really do." Sasuke kissed Naruto's wet cheek. Such precious tears, how many had been spilt just for him? "No more crying okay?"
"Okay," Naruto felt like this was a dream. Sasuke loved him? He touched Sasuke's cheek just to check if he was real. He was solid. Of course this was real, he'd never be able to dream Sasuke's perfect face in clear detail the way it was right now. Sasuke never looked like this in his dreams. "Please kiss me." Naruto felt like he was going to boil over and explode. He was feeling so many emotions he couldn't handle it.
"Anything you want." Sasuke leaned his body against Naruto's and kissed him. Naruto gave into the weight and softly molded down into the mattress. They kissed languidly for a while. Licking at each other's tongues then sucking on the others lips. Naruto mostly let Sasuke do as he wanted like always. He liked it like that. Kissing turned to touching. Mostly touching on Sasuke's part. By the time Sasuke had his fingers back inside Naruto the omega had succumbed to his heat again. It didn't matter now. Naruto knew he loved him that's all Sasuke wanted.
Sasuke slipped his dick out. It was sensitive. He was in a rut but hadn't touched himself since starting it. He tipped a hat to his own endurance. He didn't even think it was possible for him to exert so much self-control.
"It's big." Naruto had never seen an alphas dick before. Sasuke being a superior alpha meant that his dick was even bigger than most. Even while flaccid its size was admirable. But when erect, well let's just say it could intimidate someone fairly easily.
"I know it is but I know that you can handle it." Sasuke was far past the point of stopping so if Naruto got scared now it'd be hard to. Not that he wouldn't but it'd be a struggle. "You can take it for me though right, Naruto?" Sasuke rubbed his dick as he spoke. Spreading his precum from his tip to coat all around his dick. He didn't even need to do it though. From the looks of Naruto's soaking wet hole he knew he could slide in with ease.
"Yes." Naruto held his legs open. He practically had hearts in his eyes. Finally what he had been begging for was coming true. Claim me, claim me, claim me…make me yours forever.
"I knew you could." Sasuke smiled as he lined his dick up with Naruto's hole. He took a mental picture of Naruto before sliding in. He wanted to remember this last moment before he took Naruto's virginity. It'd all become blurry once he gave into his rut but for now he wanted to try and ingrain the image of Naruto as well as he could into his mind. He was finally going to make Naruto his…there was no going back. But that didn't matter.
His smile grew...this really did feel a lot like destiny.
Haku sat in darkness. Sasuke and Naruto had left only a few moments ago. He could feel his heart thudding in his heart. Pumping in time with the drip of the leaky faucet. Drip, drip, drip...He would not admit it aloud but he was scared. He was too terrified to move. He had to go; he had to get out of here! He should've left as soon as Naruto had gone. He shouldn't even have come back inside the house! Any moment now he expected Itachi to show up on his doorstep to take Naruto. It was irrational since he knew he still had some time before Itachi came but his fear made him think impossible things. What would Itachi do when he found out he was too late? Naruto was long gone and out of his reach preferably forever? Itachi would surely go crazy. He knew the alpha well, he hated to admit it but he knew Itachi very, very well. He had been foolishly in love with that alpha once long ago. It'd be impossible for him to not know at least Itachi's most basic characteristic quirks and ways of thinking. The moment he realized that Naruto was hidden away because of his heat he'd want to kill someone. Haku had to go now! He had to get to Zabuza and tell him about all of this. He and Zabuza had to go somewhere safe. After Itachi was done with him he knew Itachi would go for his mate next. But Haku couldn't move. He was stuck, scared stiff. The only silver lining was that Naruto had managed to get away.
Haku jumped to his feet. He had been crouched down trying to hide but not anymore. He couldn't be scared at a pivotal moment like this! He ran to his bedroom and threw a suitcase on his bed. He opened up his draw and began to throw clothes into it. After he had a sufficient amount of clothes he put only his most valuable kanzashi in it. He wanted to cry. He'd have to leave behind almost his entire kanzashi collection along with all his pretty kimonos. He had amassed his collection over the years and now he'd be parting with them. It sounded like such a silly thing to be sad to part with clothes and jewelry but to a geisha their collections told their story. He let his fingers graze against a jeweled black orchid kanzashi he was gifted by one of his customers years ago. Itachi would most likely destroy all of them. He'd probably burn them. He had a flare for the dramatics like that.
Twenty minutes had passed which consisted of Haku packing his things. He tried to be fast but packing even a portion of his entire life's work was hard. Just as he had finished a dreaded knock sounded on the front door.
This was it. Itachi was here.
The fear came over him all over again. He hadn't even locked the door had he? Had he subconsciously wanted this to happen? No! He hadn't but fear was a monstrous thing. It played mind tricks on you. Haku held his breath as the knocks became numerous until finally he heard the door creak open. He put his hand over his mouth to hold his breath in. He should've only packed the bare necessities! Maybe he could escape out the window?
"Hello? Is anyone home?" A melodious voice that didn't belong to Itachi called out. Haku had never heard that voice before. Or if he had it was one he could not easily recall. He didn't relax though. Just because it wasn't Itachi didn't mean it couldn't be one of Itachi's lackeys.
"I'm sorry to intrude but this is the home of the geisha Haku isn't it? I've traveled far to come here." The figure spoke in a very refined accent. Even more posh than Haku's. Whoever they were they weren't lying. They were very far away from home. That accent was so distinct; he knew it to be the accent only used within the capital.
"I'm sorry this is sudden but I an pressed for time. Please, I can't be here long!" The person sounded desperate. Like they would cry at any moment.
Haku slowly revealed himself. If this was one Itachi's cohorts he wasn't like the rest of them. He actually sounded sincere. In the darkness of the room he could only make out the outline of the persons body. It was a short figure. Probably only a head taller than Haku.
"Ah! I'm so glad you're here!" The person exclaimed.
"Who are you?" Haku took a cautious step towards them. If this turned out to be some sort of act and they attacked then he wanted some space between them so he could defend himself.
"My name is not important right now." The figure spoke in a rush. Haku hadn't even noticed but the person was short of breath. Was he scared?
"I'm afraid I insist you tell me."
"I am..." The figure paused as if thinking a great deal about whether or not to tell their name. The silence was palpable. What was so secretive that this person couldn't even deliver their name? Finally the figure broke their silence. "You can call me Minato."
"Minato?" Haku tested the name on his tongue. It felt foreign.
"What has brought you here, Minato?"
There was a pause then a sound that sounded like Minato had begun to cry. Haku quickly lit the candle on the nearby desk. Haku grabbed the light and turned it to Minato to go and comfort him but stopped in his tracks as the light framed Minato's face.
"Y-you-" Haku was at a loss for words. Minato's body was mostly hidden. He wore a large hooded robe that reached pass his toes. He was entirely concealed except for his face. It was like looking at a mirror image of Naruto. Minato had the same features, the full lips, the bright blue eyes, and tan skin. Without a doubt in his mind Haku knew...
Minato nodded seeing the understanding settle in Haku's brown orbs. "Now that you understand you know why I'm here." Minato stopped crying, his pretty features turned serious, "I'm here for my son!"
Dun, dun, duuun. Lmao sorry to end the chapter on such a bomb but I had to! Heheh you guys have so many guesses about Naruto's birth family be prepared things are about to get revealed very soon.
