"W-wow, this -cough- is really strong."
Naruto's eyes squinted to read the small imprints on the bottle's cover. He recognized the brand, but it was of a new type of liquor. He looked up when Sai laughed.
"It's a mix of sake and some new rum that's recently been imported into Konoha." Sai got up from the small table and walked towards the refrigerator. He started looking for some normal beverages. Naruto took another sip, this time he was able to control his coughs.
"Here." Sai placed down a carton of grape juice next to their cups. He took the bottle of alcohol from the curious blonde and poured a decent amount into each of their cups. After that, he reclaimed the grape juice and added about twice the amount into the drinks.
Naruto watched slightly perplexed. The realization that he never bought grape juice before, daunting on him. Sasuke was obviously getting comfortable with him here, in his home. As if the Uchiha was really staying with him, like his home was now their home. The blonde shuddered.
"Well, don't just stare at it Naruto." Sai placed the mixed drink in front of the blonde, raising his own glass in the form of a toast. The blond smiled and mimicked the action.
"To better days, good drinking, and strong relationships." Their glasses chimed after touching, both abruptly taking it to their lips and devouring its content. Though, Naruto was surprised at Sai's choice of words. The last part had him thinking. What did the other mean by strong relationships? Maybe it was his way of saying 'to friendship', or strong bonds...all of which made the blonde think of him.
Naruto shook his head and accepted his second round from Sai.
"Hey Sai." The brunette nodded in question.
"How is it...you know, out there." Naruto tilted his head towards the window, the outside clearly viewable.
"We have not been on that many missions," Sai took another sip, adding thoughtfully, "But we sure do miss you."
Naruto's mouth twitched upward, he was happy to be missed, but bitter he could not have any missions till he was 'better'.
"It's awfully quiet and keeping Sakura company is more work than the mission itself. When her other gossip companions are busy, she feels the need to replace them with myself." Sai sighed and served up a third round. "By the way, were you aware that she and Sasuke had that sort of connection?"
Naruto choked on his drink.
"Yeah." He placed his drink down, staring at it with contempt. "Does she talk a lot about him?"
"More than any girl should."
The blonde bit his lip. He didn't want to know, but he felt he had to. It was that awful feeling lingering inside him; that he was the one to cause this mess.
"But I suppose that does not matter." Naruto looked up.
"Women move on fast, unlike men." Sai chuckled and quickly changed subjects. Naruto wasn't sure between the two, who was more upset now.
They talked a little more after that about Sai's art. His pale teammate was becoming more passionate about his art, constantly finding moments where he could observe and create a canvas with each scenery, with every emotion that he was slowly coming to comprehend. Surely, Sai had come a long way since their first meeting. Seeing him smile more freely now, caused Naruto to smile as well.
"I'm glad you're here Sai." The brunette agreed, saying he was becoming more fond of him as well. Naruto grabbed the liquor bottle. The other apparently having enough, unlike the blonde himself. He served his own cup this time, adding more alcohol than the juice. By the time they reassumed their talk, he had had a fair amount to drink, not minding the slight buzzing sensation beginning to form in his stomach.
"I'm sure if you talk to Tsunade, she could find some missions that aren't too strenuous for you."
"Doubt it. She only sees me to check my results. Otherwise she's more concentrated on Sasuke's report on me."
"Well, maybe if I go with you to see her, and perhaps a talk with Kakashi as well, will help. Staying here all day doesn't seem...ideal. Plus that Uchiha I'm sure is overly," he paused in thought, "protective of you." Naruto looked away.
"Bad choice of words Sai." He mumbled.
"Really, wouldn't you rather spend time with me?" Naruto, surprised, turned to him. Their eyes locked together, a small silence ensued. The blonde couldn't deny he felt a sudden flush, whether it was the words or alcohol he couldn't tell.
"I don't understand what kind of 'situation' you are in. I'm no doctor, but I care about what is happening to you. You seem less active - emotionally, physically. I want to know why Naruto." The light-haired teen looked away. Telling the other he was too concerned for his well-being.
"Sai, we've gotten a lot closer since we started out. I'm really happy that you care. Really I am! Just..." Naruto closed his eyes, his thoughts suddenly clouded with the misery he had been through. That he was still enduring. But he kept smiling, knowing that there was someone here trying to understand his feelings; it was something he had been wanting. But he did not want to drag Sai into this.
Sai, he noticed earlier on, had not many similarities to Sasuke- apart from appearance. He was genuine, caring even; though they had their moments of differences, his teammate was not someone he hated. Naruto was suddenly cut from his thoughts, as words were directed to him once more.
"The last time we were together, I thought then that..." Sai closed his eyes briefly, a small tug on his lips remained, though he had a more solemn expression now. "I guess, this is what it means to-"
It was then the door opened.
Naruto looked up, his eyes widened in shock. Sai sighed.
"Sakura!" The blonde attempted to stand and cursed when he stumbled.
"W-what are you doing here? And how the hell did you get in?"
The pink-haired girl smiled at both her teammates.
"Don't mind me! I just need to borrow your...drinking partner." Sakura faced turned to scold them.
"Honestly boys, did last night teach you nothing?" She huffed, placing a feisty fist against her hip bone.
Sai rose up, helping Naruto get steady, though the blonde became shy from the action and pushed his helper.
"I'm good. Don't worry about it." He offered a light chuckle, though he was nervous. Sakura's presence did something bad to him. He felt dizzy, nauscious, angry, depressed. He needed her to leave.
"Well then," Sai eyed him warily. He was suspecting the blonde of something. Soon, a smirk formed onto his pale features and he turned towards Sakura.
"I'm ready to go." Sakura nodded and waited for Sai to lead the way.
"How did you know Sai was here anyway?" Naruto was sure no one had spotted them before they arrived to his home.
"He told me he was going to look for you." The blonde was surprised by this.
"I needed a reason to get away from you." Sakura rolled her eyes at Sai's input of words. Both waving their goodbyes before leaving. Sai only saying he would be buying their drinks next time around.
Alone, Naruto was wondered about their discussions. He found there was still some alcohol left and had himself a little more. Sai was good company after all. Naruto would really consider talking to Tsunade about making him active for missions again. Even though he was still shaken by Sakura's sudden appearance, he didn't feel all too bad. Just a little drunk.
Now he was bored again. It was already past six, the time flying past him on its own accord. He wasn't sure when Sasuke would return. Not that he cared. The more time he had to himself the better, right?
But there was that lingering feeling once more. It made him feel dark. The issue of Sasuke and Sakura still remained; He knew better than to think the Uchiha had any real personal affection for the girl. He was conniving, and would do whatever means necessary to accomplish his goals. Just what is his plan?
Naruto couldn't think of anything other than jealousy. Perhaps Sasuke was bitter by his and Sakura's friendship that he felt the need to manipulate it. He was already trying to control Naruto, so it must have been the same for his female companion. If that was the case, he needed to try and out do the Uchiha.
Sorry, but that's not enough.
Naruto's eyes closed, placing his forehead against the table's surface. Sasuke had said those words to him. He wasn't looking for a small display of intimacy or affection. It was hard enough for the blonde to even kiss him without cringing. What more could he do?
Turning his head to the side, Naruto was at a lost. It was when he looked at the discarded paper bag beside him did he remember that. Sitting up, he reached and digged into it. His last purchase.
He grew embarrassed just looking at its content. What possessed him to even buy the little booklet he did not understand. But maybe, he knew somewhere in his mind, that it could help.
Leaning against his chair, he opened it to the first page, skimming through its content.

Sasuke arrived home at half past nine. Yes home, his and his lovers'. It had been a rather long day since he left the hospital. Though it was hard not to think about Naruto's desperation from earlier, he had found himself surrounded with things to do. There was the meeting with Tsunade twice over about his plans for the day. They had come to an agreement about the location he could travel to, who he would be accompanied by, and what they were to search for.
It was obvious to the Uchiha that Tsunade was being overly strict about the arrangements, as he had been demanding. But both wanted to accomplish the same thing, for the same person.
It was within the first week of their return, that Sasuke had approached Tsunade about his request. Because he is always with Naruto, and 'testing' the blonde's capabilities and limitations, the Uchiha observed that his lover's condition was not improving. He wanted to believe time itself would regenerate the blonde's abilities, but it hadn't.
It was then that he asked if he could do research. Of course it was far more complicated than simply requesting it. Sasuke wasn't on good grounds with everyone in Konoha. He had a bitter history here, and he was not entirely deemed a citizen, at least not to the hokage. Tsunade had refused, at first. But with unidentified results coming from her loved blonde, she began to see that they had to find an alternative.
It was Sasuke's point to search an area where he had known the Akatsuki to go from time to time, when mischief was being done. It was an area called Daburum. Localized crime and often adult activity was conducted there. He wanted to find affiliates of the Akatsuki, learn if there was anything exchanged in information or goods, that could possibly add up to the effects on Naruto.
Sasuke hadn't expected, however, for everything to be in order so soon. He reported to Tsunade about an hour after leaving the hospital. She had formed a team and handed the Uchiha his own uniform. Soon, he set out to Daburum. It wasn't far, but the travel required a lot of careful detail when trying to be sourceful. They hadn't expected the city to be under investigation upon their arrival. Surely anyone crooked enough had already went into hiding. This foiled their plans, forced them to reschedule, and now he was home, a hinder of disappointment affecting his mood.
But being home, he did not want his mood to show.
Sasuke placed his bag beside the door, careful not to let his uniform to become noticeable. He went to the kitchen and washed his hands. He turned to see if the blonde layed in bed, but he wasn't. Sasuke observed a tall, gold and brown colored bottle sitting upon the small kitchen table. He went to it, picking it up he took a light whiff. The smell was strong and not too pleasant, and, he noticed that it was entirely empty.
"Sorry, I kind of drank it all." Sasuke peered up. Naruto was wearing his usual clothes- black tee and designed pants, minus his jacket. He walked up to the Uchiha who did not move in response. Naruto's blonde hair was still wet from taking a shower, his face slightly flushed. Sasuke assumed he had been taking a warm shower when the tan hand reached towards his face.
Naruto brushed his hand against the other cheek lightly. Blue eyes avoided the Uchiha's gaze and instead, moved his arm lower. His finger's brushing down the length of Sasuke's arm before grasping his fingers.
The raven didn't struggle when he was tugged towards the back of the apartment, to the bed. Sasuke was not sure what the blonde was doing til he was slowly urged to sit onto the mattress.
The Uchiha sat, looking questioningly at his companion, who only stared at his exposed chest. There was no exchange of words, just silent interpretation. Soon the bed plunged down once more as Naruto climbed a top. Slowly Sasuke edged himself back to allow the blonde room.
Once over the raven, Naruto placed his hands onto the exposed, white skin. His fingers rubbing the flesh underneath.
"What are you doing?" The blond smirked and leaned forward, planting a small yet sensual kiss against Sasuke's lips. Pulling back, he observed the bored and annoyed expression the other held. Wanting a better reaction, he rocked his hips down. Like instinct, Sasuke grabbed onto Naruto's waist; Surprised to feel the other was already hard when moving against him. A low, indecent moan came from the blonde.
Naruto bit his lip, staring innocently at Sasuke. The Uchiha wasn't fully comprehending the other's motives, but didn't struggle when his blonde moved to place the raven's hands above his head.
Naruto leaned down beside the Uchiha's face. He licked the shell of Sasuke's ear, causing the raven to shiver beneath him. He took pride in that. Naruto grinded even harder, lifting his leg up to angle their dicks even closer with pleasure. Sasuke's hands twitched, an erection beginning to rise.
Naruto continued to kiss, nibble against the raven's ear. The room was quiet. Only the soft motion of the bed could be heard alongside the blonde's 'Ha's and 'oh's when he thrusted downward.
Sasuke's eyes were closed, it was too much like a dream. The one he desired above him, wanting and willing to pleasure him. They went at it for a few minutes before Naruto was becoming more frantic, he sucked loudly against the raven's ear, devouring it. Sasuke let out a low moan and thrusted upward, feeling an orgasm within reach. The blond pulled back nearly jumping on top of the Uchiha.
"Y-yes... haa-ah!" Naruto moved his hands downward, balancing himself atop of Sasuke's pelvis. His thighs shook, legs stumbling to rub himself the right way. "T-there y-yes..Haa! So..g-good." Sasuke felt Naruto quiver when he orgasmed for the first time, his own erection throbbing to do the same. Naruto movements slowed down. He sat properly and wiggled his way out of his back shirt. Leaning forward, closer to Sasuke, he licked the other's parted lips. His hands unzipping his own pants, reaching around his ass and pulled the fabric down. Once they were low enough, he went back to sitting on top of Sasuke who noticed the blond was not wearing any underwear.
Naruto used his shirt and stroked himself. His member was stiff and already precum threatened to shoot out. He moaned loudly, surprising even himself. He thrusted into the fabric roughly, loving the friction against his dick. Sasuke stared at him in awe. Was this really the same blond as before who resented every advanced he made? The Uchiha could not understand what was happening, but there wasn't an ounce of him that cared.
Sasuke bit his lip, hearing the other moan his name seductively. He couldn't take it anymore.
Sasuke grabbed Naruto and rolled himself on top, not caring for the surprise in the other's eyes. He removed his clothes swiftly, exposing his own leaking member. Naruto thrusted upward.
"Fuck Sasuke, do me too." His voice was unbelievably husky, his eyes shining with lust that rivaled his own need. He grabbed both their erections and quickly rubbed up and down. Naruto mouth parted, he cound't deny it felt even better than with his own hands.
"Kiss m-me, ha S-sa-umph!"
The intensity came all at once. Both teens tipped over the edge as tongues tried to find more pleasure. Naruto's head went entirely blank, the white flashes made his body hot; his climax deafening him. The blonde could not sense anything but his pulse. His heart beating inside his ears, his body still. Even Sasuke's weight had left him.
Naruto's body jolted feeling fingers squeezing his now very sensitive nipple. He groaned lowly, shifting his body towards the touches. He felt Sasuke lips pressed softly against his cheek. He whispered the raven's name, who grunted in return,
"Break up with her." Naruto knew he sounded like pathetic, speaking such words while trying to catch his breath. Opening his eyes for the first time, he turned to see Sasuke looking at him with some confusion.
"With Sakura." At once Naruto regretted saying her name. Sasuke's eyes looked surprised, betrayed, and then...
"Was all this-" ...very calm. The blond didn't understand what he was trying to say and before he could ask, Sasuke uttered.
"No."
"But you have to! I...I won't forgive you if you don't."
The raven made no immediate response. He leaned back and grazed the cum from his lover off his chest and placed his tainted finger on Naruto's lips. The blond seemed taken back but quickly opened his mouth and encircled the other's sticky digit. His tongue swirled around and coated his finger with his saliva; sucking roughly before Sasuke inserted another finger into his mouth, penetrating deep into the wet cavern. He stopped himself from gagging and held the hand from clogging his airways.
"You make a really good whore." The sound of Sasuke's voice mocked Naruto's ego instantly. He knew he was being toyed with now. His face flushed. The Uchiha pulling his hand away sensing the other was about to bite him.
"You have your little dirty tricks...But so does Sakura." He smirked at the shocked expression before him. "I'm not done with her yet love." Naruto moved from under Sasuke and replied angrily.
"You asshole! You better not have done anything to her!"
"I didn't do anything but sit down while she took care of the rest." Sasuke stopped the flying fist aimed for his face. His gripped tighten over it and he moved it backwards. Naruto hissed at the position.
"Don't worry, you're still my top priority." He smirked and released his lover, standing as he headed towards the bathroom.
Naruto was left alone almost instantly. His body shook with rage as hot tears dropped from his pained eyes. He knew he failed to protect Sakura. If what Sasuke said was true, he would have a much darker road ahead. He just wasn't sure if that path would lead to his destruction.
