One Night
Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews. I hope you all enjoy this chapter.
Chapter Notation: I went for drama and romance more than realism in this one. Parts of it will probably resemble an action move and parts of it will look like a romantic comedy. So hopefully there will be something for everyone.
Chapter 10
Three weeks later, Menma smirks to himself. He had been following his brother. The young man couldn't help but feel a little jealous of his twin.
Naruto had the perfect life. He had a great job. Naruto had friends. He wasn't a criminal. Oh and he also had a hot lover. Damn. That was a lucky son of a bitch.
"I think I can have fun with this." He murmurs to himself when he realizes that Naruto was scheduled to argue a case that night.
Sasuke wasn't. This was perfect. He quickly heads to Sasuke's place.
It looked like most of the time, the two lovers would go to his place after work. Sometimes Naruto would stay the night. Sometimes he wouldn't. Though occasionally, they would go to the blonde's home.
He manages to get into Sasuke's house by picking the lock. There were advantages to being part of Rasengan. One of them was that he had learned how to pick a lock, almost as soon as he could walk. It didn't matter how fancy the lock was, Menma could get it to open.
"That's weird. I must have left the lights on." Sasuke mutters a few minutes later, when he arrives at his place and heads inside.
"You didn't leave them on. The judge had a family emergency. So the hearing got delayed. I thought that I'd surprise you." Menma says.
Sasuke smiles. Ah well that was nice. Well maybe nice was a stretch. He hoped the judge's family was okay, but he was very happy to have more time with Naruto.
"Hopefully, everything works out okay. I'm not going to lie though. I'm happy you got to get off work earlier. Maybe we can help you get off in more ways than one." Sasuke says with a smirk.
Yeah. Naruto was a lucky son of a bitch. Well maybe that wasn't fair. He had never officially met his mother. Kushina might actually be a lovely woman for all he knew.
Menma quickly decides it didn't matter. It was just an expression. Besides, he wasn't going to feel guilty about insulting some woman that didn't know.
"I like the sound of that." He says.
"Though I have to ask, when did you find the time to dye your hair?" Sasuke raises an eyebrow.
He knew that was going to be an issue. So Menma had come up with an excuse. He was fairly sure it should work.
"I went to the barbershop during my lunch break. Do you like it?" He asks and Sasuke tilts his head as if considering it.
"I've known you for 25 years. In all that time, you've always been blonde. It's going to take some getting used to, but it is kinda sexy. It brings out your eyes." Sasuke replies after a moment.
Menma smirks. He bought it. Great! He couldn't wait to see the look on his brother's face when he realized his lover had just slept with his identical twin and hadn't even known the difference.
"Glad you like it. What was that you said about getting me off in me ways than one?" Menma asks as he pushes Sasuke onto the couch and straddles his waist.
"Yeah. I think that I can manage that." Sasuke says as he kisses Menma.
Menma smirks and returns the kiss. Wow. This guy really knew how to kiss. Maybe he'd keep him around for ore than one night. After all, what would punch Naruto in the gut more than stealing his boyfriend?
Sasuke was kissing Naruto when he noticed something was off. It wasn't just his hair. His entire manner of kissing was different.
It was still a Hell of a seductive kiss, but it was far more aggressive. It was so domineering. He'd never kissed him like that before.
"What the fuck is going on?!" Sasuke growls, pushing "Naruto" off of him.
"What the Hell, Sasuke?!" Menma asks, pretending to be hurt by his lover shoving him away.
"First, you get off work early without telling me. Then you dye your hair. Now, you are kissing me like you expect to drag me off to a Pleasure Dungeon or something. What the fuck is going on?!" Sasuke snarls.
Menma blinks. Hmm. That was interesting. He knew that Sasuke was smart. He was a lawyer after all, but he didn't think that he'd catch on that quickly.
"Alright. You got me. You're good. It only took one kiss, really? How long have you two been fucking?" The sapphire eyed man asks.
Sasuke's face goes pale. This wasn't Naruto. Naruto wouldn't ask that question. He felt like he was going to be sick.
"You see this? I won't hesitate to put a bullet through your brain, if you don't tell me exactly what is going on. You impersonated my lover. You are breaking and entering. I have more than enough justification for self-defense, if I murder your ass." Sasuke warns him as he pulls out a handgun from his pocket and points it at the other man.
"You really are such a lawyer. Someone sneaks into your house, looks identical to your lover, and your first thought is whether or not you'd be able to get away with murder on the grounds of self-defense? That's impressive. I also didn't realize you'd be packing heat." Menma says.
Sasuke fires off a warning shot. The bullet lands only an inch or two away from the other man's foot. That seemed to startle Menma enough that he dropped his cocky act for just a second.
"I never leave home without my gun. Neither does most of our law firm. That's something you should remember, you freak. So that's two times that I asked you, what is going on. You don't want to make me ask a third time." The raven haired man hisses at him.
"Alright. It's a long story. I'm not Naruto. I'm Menma. Obviously, I'm his identical twin. I just dyed my hair a long time ago. I was really tired of blonde jokes." He says with a shrug.
Sasuke blinks. Naruto had a brother?! He had an identical twin?! That couldn't be possible. He had known the blonde since forever. Surely, his lover would have mentioned having a brother.
"He never mentioned you." Sasuke says suspiciously.
"That makes sense. As far as I know, he doesn't realize I exist. I was kidnapped as a baby. I did some digging. Looks like Kushina and Minato searched for months, but I was declared dead. They thought it would be cruel to tell Naruto about a brother that he couldn't remember. To make him mourn someone who had died, before he could even speak." He explains.
The young lawyer just gapes at Menma. It was such a fantastical story. His first instinct was to call bullshit. That couldn't possibly be the truth, could it?
Unfortunately, the truth was staring him right in the face. There was no way that anyone could look that much like Naruto and not be his identical twin. Naruto had an identical twin. An identical twin that had tried to seduce him, while impersonating Naruto.
"You know that whole thing about evil twins is supposed to be a joke right? That or a bad plot to way too many horror movies." Sasuke asks as he keeps his gun aimed at Menma.
"I can see why he likes you. You're a damn good kisser and oddly hot when you try to act tough." Menma says with a grin.
"Who the fuck is acting?!" The youngest Uchiha thunders at him.
Sadly, Sasuke didn't know who he was dealing with. The raven haired man was skilled at martial arts, but that was different than the street fighting that Menma was accustomed too. He didn't stand a chance when Naruto's evil twin had the element of surprise on him.
Almost faster than Sasuke could blink, Menma had darted towards him. The sapphire eyed man shoves him back on the couch and steals his gun away. Now it was Menma's turn to point a gun at Sasuke.
"See what I mean? You were just acting tough. You have no idea what I've been through. I've seen you fight. You're good, but you haven't had the kind of training that I have. It sucks for you, I know. But this isn't a fight that you could ever really win. Luckily for you, I don't want to kill you." He states.
"What do you want then?" Sasuke asks.
"I just wanted to even things out a bit. Naruto got the perfect life. What did I get? I got fucking kidnapped and was forced to do A LOT of twisted shit that I never wanted to do in the first place. Jokes on them though. I turned out to be a better bad guy than them." Menma informs Sasuke.
Sasuke was about to ask who them was, when he hears a car pulling up in the driveway. His eyes widen in horror. Please don't let that be Naruto! Please don't let that be Naruto!
He really should have known better than to jinx everything like that. Sure enough, Naruto comes bounding through the door. That's when his eyes widen. He only saw a man with a gun pointed at Sasuke.
"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM HIM!" The blonde snarls as he pulls out his own handgun and fires off at the gun that the other man was holding.
It did the trick. The gun was knocked out of Menma's hand. The other man turns around to face Naruto and that's when the blonde could only gape at Sasuke's attacker.
He had attacked Sasuke! Well not him, but someone who looked almost identical to him. The only difference was this man had black hair instead of blonde. What the Hell?
"Sasuke?" He asks uncertainly.
"Allow me to introduce myself, brother. I'm Menma. As you can see, we're not only brothers. We are also twins. Long time, no see." He says with a smirk.
Sasuke stared at Naruto. Then he glanced at Menma. Then he looked at Naruto again. It was all so confusing!
"Naruto, get out of here! He's crazy!" Sasuke warns him.
"Awe. That was a little mean, Sasuke. I mean you seemed to like kissing me. Does that mean you like to kiss crazy people?" He asks mockingly.
Naruto was frozen in shock until he heard that. That set him off. This time his warning shot hit Menma's left leg.
"You sick son of a bitch! He didn't even know who you were. Sasuke probably thought that you were me! That doesn't count. That wasn't consensual, you asshole!" Naruto growls at him.
"You know we have the same mother right? You just called Kushina a bitch. You're right though. I guess that wasn't fair. He loved it though. Gotta give him credit. You might be a dumb blonde, but he isn't. He knew something was off almost as soon as he threw himself at me and started making out with me." He says through gritted teeth as he sinks to the floor and clutches his badly bleeding leg.
Sasuke grabs his cell phone. He was going to call the cops. Fuck this shit! This crazy person belonged in jail.
"Sasuke, wait. He's an asshole, but I still want to get the full story. Hold off on the cops for just a bit. Tie him up or something." Naruto says.
"And what the Hell am I supposed to tie him up with?!" The raven haired man demanded.
While the two were bickering, Menma made a made dash through the back door. He ran as fast as he could. It wasn't easy with a shot leg. Still he managed to get into onto Naruto's motorcycle and drive off.
"Did that really just happen?" Naruto whispers.
"Yeah. I think that really just happened. Naruto, you have an evil twin." Sasuke says in a horrified voice.
Meanwhile Haku and Itachi were at the spa. It was a romantic weekend getaway. If either of them had known about Menma, they wouldn't have been as relaxed as they were.
"This was a great idea." Haku says as he sighs in contentment.
He was laying on a massage table, a few feet away from Itachi. Both men were getting massages. Ah spas were so much fun, Haku muses.
"Yeah. I've been meaning to come here for awhile. My mother got me a weekend pass for my birthday. I just didn't have anyone to go with. Felt a little silly to come alone, when she got me two passes." The smoky eyed man says as he enjoys his massage.
Haku blinks as he processes that. Somehow, he had a hard time imagining Itachi not being able to find anyone willing to go with him on a spa weekend. The man was sex on legs.
"Really? That surprises me. I mean you seem like the type of person who would easily be able to find a date." The Family Lawyer states.
"I prefer quality over quantity. I had offers. None of them just particularly caught my interest until very recently." Itachi says with a smile.
Their relationship was still new, but the elder Uchiha brother was truly over the Moon. He was realistic enough to realize that they were in the Honeymoon Phrase. Generally the first month or two of a new relationship was the easiest and everyone had hearts in their eyes. Despite this, he couldn't stop feeling hopeful.
It was almost like someone had found his wish list and somehow transformed a beautiful China Doll into a real man or something. Haku was gorgeous, intelligent, polite, and a fantastic kisser. He also shared many of Itachi's interests and obviously they had a lot in common as far as their career goals went.
"Oh really? Anyone that I know?" Haku asks with a sly smile.
"Yes, I do believe you know him. Quite well actually." Itachi says as he reaches over and laces his fingers with his date's.
Now they were holding hands as they enjoyed their massages. All in all it was the perfect day. A nice relaxing spa date with his gorgeous boyfriend. What could be better than that?
"Mmm maybe you could give me a hint?" The younger lawyer inquires with feigned innocence.
"Well he has the most beautiful eyes that I have ever seen. They really do remind me of a doe's." The Uchiha beings.
"That does sound rather alluring. I still think that I'm going to require another hint or two. It's important to gather all the evidence that one can before reaching a verdict." Haku teases him.
Haku was also very clever. The man could make a legal pun out of almost anything. For the life of him, Itachi couldn't understand why his ex would ever have let Haku go.
He supposed it didn't really matter though. Itachi wasn't going to make the same mistakes. That was the most important thing.
"He's also a lawyer like me, though he practices a different branch of law." Itachi continues.
"Hmm. Doe eyes and a lawyer. I still think I'm going to need more information, really." His date continues his act.
The two continue their game for awhile. Eventually their massage ends and they head to the hot tub. Itachi quite liked hot tubs and he liked a half naked Haku even more. Yes, things were going perfectly in his mind.
"You're going to regret this. You're spoiling me." Haku says as he places a gentle kiss on his boyfriend's lips.
"I think the only thing that I could possibly regret about spoiling you, is not doing it sooner." Itachi whispers after returning the kiss.
Elsewhere Neji was showing Gaara around where he worked. He figured it was only fair. He had already seen Suna and Sharingan. The red head deserved to know more about him.
Work was such an intimate part of your life. Whether you loved or hated it, it impacted you. So the lavender eyed man wanted to share this part of himself with his new boyfriend.
"And this is my office." Neji says as they walk inside one of the many rooms.
Gaara looks around curiously. One thing that he was definitely learning about Neji is that he was a neat freak. He was fairly confident that his boyfriend would go insane if there was a single thing out of place in anything that he considered his domain.
That didn't really bother Gaara though. He took it as a challenge. Sometimes he would deliberately go out of his way to mess up Neji's stuff just a little bit. It was amusing to see him get so worked up when he rearranged his books out of alphabetical order or something like that.
"It's very elegant and…clean." The red head says.
"Yes, thank you. It is going to STAY that way." Neji chides him gently and Gaara raises an eyebrow.
That sounded like a challenge. Oh yeah. He was definitely going to mess up Neji's office at some point.
"Maybe." The red head says as he kisses Neji's cheek.
The Hyuga man raises an eyebrow. Oh no, he didn't. He knew Gaara well enough by now to realize what a maybe was. It was easily translated into the following, "I'm going to mess up your office because I think you're cute when you get mad. Then we will kiss and make up. While we are doing so, I'm probably going to pull on your hair, but we both know that you won't be able to stay mad at me."
"There is no maybe about it." Neji says firmly.
"Uh huh. Well that desk looks rather sturdy." Gaara notes idly.
"Yes, it should be. It's made of solid oak. It cost a pretty penny, but I do find it a rather handsome desk." The CFO agrees.
Gaara nods in agreement. Sometimes, he just couldn't resist messing with his boyfriend. It was too much fun not to. With that thought in mind, he shoves Neji onto the desk and kisses him.
Neji mmpfs into the kiss, before returning it. No matter what craziness that the lawyer decided to subject him to, he couldn't resist Gaara's kiss. The red head was truly an amazing kisser. So who could really blame him?
"I think it would be strong enough for us to spend a rather enjoyable day together…on it." He suggests.
"You are outrageous sometimes." Neji says and he shakes his head in disapproval.
"I suppose I should have seen that wouldn't be one of your fantasies. What are your views on shower sex?" The Suna Lawyer inquires.
That caused Neji to sputter. Gaara delighted in the way that his boyfriend's face turned as red as a tomato. It was wonderfully delightful to evoke such reactions from the normally stoic man.
"Shower sex could be fun in the right circumstances." He mumbles.
"Good. Good." The red head says with a grin.
Back at Sasuke's house, Naruto and the youngest Uchiha were still reeling from the bizarre turn of events. Neither of them seemed to know what to do or say. There was a bloodstain on the floor though, that made it impossible to deny what had just occurred.
"Naruto, we should call the police." Sasuke says.
"Sasuke, what could we possibly say? Hello, Officer. I'm sorry to disturb you, but my evil twin just impersonated me and tried to seduce my boyfriend. When that didn't work, he pulled a gun on him. I walked in on him and shot the gun out of his hand and his leg to save my boyfriend. Then he took off. Oh and he stole my motorcycle. How well do you think that's going to go over?" The blonde asks.
Sasuke sighs. Naruto had a point. It sounded crazy to HIM and he had been the one who lived through all that. They were so fucked and not in a good way.
"He knows where I live. If he can figure out where I live, Menma probably knows where you live. Neither of us is safe at our places. Maybe we should get a room at a hotel for a bit. Well at least until we know what is going on. He's not afraid to pull a gun on someone, Naruto." The raven haired man reasons.
Naruto hated seeing Sasuke that way. His bastard was supposed to be unshakable. Though he knew anyone would have been very much shaken, if they had gone through what his boyfriend just did.
"You're right. A hotel room sounds like a good idea. It's going to be okay, Sasuke. We'll get to the bottom of this. I won't let that freak hurt you. I promise." Naruto says as he kisses his forehead.
"It's not me that I'm worried about. He just wanted to sleep with me to hurt you. You're his primary target. I don't want you to do something stupid. I know that it sounds crazy, but I really think that we should call the police and at least try to explain what is going on." The Prosecutor pleads with him.
Naruto sighs. He knew that it would probably be a good idea to alert the authorities. Somehow though, he thought that would just make matters worse.
"Let's just pack some stuff and head to a hotel for now. I shot him. I doubt he's going to make another attempt tonight. We can figure out what to do in the morning. Okay?" The environmental lawyer asks.
"Okay. Yeah. That's probably best. We're both a little too raw to make any good decisions right now. Well other than going to the hotel." Sasuke says as he begins packing some clothes and other necessities.
The blonde watches him. Naruto couldn't forgive what Menma did. He had impersonated him and tried to take Sasuke away from him. That would have been difficult to get past, but then he had gone and drawn a gun on him. Unforgivable! He'd never forgive him for that!
"Yeah. We need to think things through. I can't believe what he almost did to you." Naruto grumbles.
"Yes, we do. He wants us to be afraid Naruto. That's what he wants. Don't give him the satisfaction. Alright?" Sasuke asks.
"Oh I'm not afraid." The blonde says as he clenches his first.
Sasuke lets out a sigh of relief. Well that was good. As long as Naruto wasn't afraid, maybe they'd be able to keep their wits about them. Between the two of them, they might be able to come up with a solution to all of this.
"That's good." The Uchiha says.
"I'm fucking pissed off! He had no right to do that! He had no right to do any of it! He barged into your home, pretended to be me, tried to sleep with you, and then pulled a gun on you?! Who the fuck does he think he is?!" Naruto practically snarls.
Oh. Naruto wasn't afraid, but he was angry. Very angry. Sasuke tries unsuccessfully to suppress a shiver at his lover's tone. He had never heard Naruto sound like that and he had known the man since they were babies. Frankly, it unsettled him.
"He didn't have a right to do any of it. Still that doesn't change the fact that we need to come up with a plan. So I need you to keep a cool head for now. We'll find a way to fix this." The raven haired man assures him.
"Yeah. We will. I've never actually thought about shooting a man before today." Naruto admits.
"Naruto, you were trying to save my life. That's perfectly normal. You don't have to feel guilty. Let's just get packing and get out of here. Like you said, he's probably not going to attack again tonight. We should use that to our advantage." Sasuke reasons.
Naruto nods. Soon enough the two of them packed and left. It didn't take them long to find a hotel. They paid in cash. There was less of a chance they'd be tracked that way.
"You know when I pictured taking you to a hotel room, this wasn't exactly what I had in mind." Naruto says.
"Yeah. I know. It's okay though. As long as we are together, it doesn't really matter way." Sasuke declares as he kisses Naruto goodnight.
"Yeah. You're right. This freak has no idea who he's messing with." Naruto says with a laugh after returning the kiss.
Sasuke nods approvingly. That was the spirit. He yawns as they hopped into the bed and shut of the night.
The youngest Uciha couldn't help but smile as he felt Naruto's arms wrap around him protectively. Maybe he was being overly optimistic, but it was hard not to feel safe when he was nestled in his lover's arms. That was the last thought on his mind before he fell asleep.
