"Baby, my worst mistake
Was letting you ever get away,
away from me.
And I couldn't see everything
when it was right there
in my face
And baby it's killing me." ( - When Does It Go Away. Jojo. /Uchiha Sasuke.)

Chapter 11 - His Absolute Worst Mistake.

Naruto opened the door and then peered his head into Sasuke's office, wearing a wide smile. "Hey, Sasuke. I just wanted to let you know that I've finished up everything you asked of me and that I'm leaving now."

"Hn," Sasuke took his focus off of the desktop screen on his desk and raised a skeptical brow at the Uzumaki. He couldn't help but notice how impatient Naruto looked to get off the clock. "And where are you heading off to?"

His brow furrowing in confusion, Naruto laughed a bit. "Um, I could've sworn I told you I had a date tonight," The absent expression in Sasuke's eyes made him realize that maybe he hadn't mentioned that bit of information to his superior. "..Or maybe I didn't? Sorry, I thought I did." He flashed him a sheepish grin and Sasuke said nothing. He guessed the man was cool with him dipping out, so.., "Well, I'm going now. Call ya later, okay?" He told him with a wave of his hand before closing the door behind himself.

His stare fixed on his office door, a frown arose on Sasuke's face. He could admit that his first experience of 'being in love' absolutely sucked. He was finally facing his feelings, but it hurt like hell. The dobe was his first real love and it wasn't like anything he had ever felt before, not even with Daisuke's mother. He was just about to let his forehead slam down onto his desk when his cell phone began to ring and he grabbed it off of his desk. "Yes?" He answered, uncaring of how shitty he sounded.

"Good evening, Sasu-chan!"

The chime of his mother's voice brought a slight smile to his face. She always did have a way of making him feel better before she even knew something was bothering him.

"Good evening to you as well, Mother. I'm in the office right now. Is there something you need?" He inquired lightly, leaning back in his chair.

"In the office? Yes, of course. Running yourself tired, as always. You know, you and your brother need to learn when to let loose from time to time. It's good for your health."

Breathing out a low chuckle, he turned himself to the marvelous view of the city outside of the wide expanse of glass in his office. Through the stainless window the setting sun looked soothing in the horizon. "Mother, have you seen the sunset this evening?" Sasuke asked in an idle tone, his eyes mesmerized by the orange tint and arising darkness meshed in the sky looming over Tokyo.

"Oh, yes! Isn't it lovely? It reminds me of a few nights ago before your father and I returned from Barcelona. He took me on a romantic date out on the water and we watched the sunset together. Haaah, my Fu-kun is so sweet..."

Sasuke let out a repulsed groan and he heard his mother huff.

"Sasuke, you shouldn't be grossed out by your father being romantic. You should be happy your parents still love each other to this day, and I'll tell you, it was so beautiful. He makes me feel loved every day and that's something I want for both you and Itachi."

Sasuke said nothing for a moment, his mother's words triggering what had been bothering him for a while now. "..Mother, what do you think is the best way to show a person, that has no idea, how much you love them?"

"Sasuke, if you're planning on confessing one of those hussies, I'm taking no part in it."

"Eh?" He deadpanned, a slightly amused smirk working its way onto his face. "What? No, mother. I'm not with anyone as of now, but if that was the case, I didn't think you would be so cruel as to not support my decision."

"Not if it's a decision unhealthy for you. I can see through all of those girls. They say mother knows best for a reason."

"Of course you know best, Mother." Gazing at the sky, Sasuke chuckled. "However, you have the wrong idea this time. The person I was referring to is Naruto."

"Huh?! N-Naruto-kun?! But I thought you had no interest in..."

Sasuke smiled, finding it somewhat foolish of himself to have ever thought the way that he had at some point, ... that he hadn't seen it then. "Yes, I know. I was taken by surprise as well, Mother. I just… I don't know. I've started having these feelings for him and it's torturing not to be able to tell him. I need to know how I can tell him properly. I've never felt this way about anyone before and I don't know how to express what I'm feeling because it's so... inexplicable. I've never had difficulty expressing myself to women, however, with him, I get really anxious and I feel stupidly flustered."

"Aw, sweetie…"

The newly darkened sky from this aspect was so fascinating to him. There were so many stars out and they couldn't be seen often in the city during the night. Naruto sat forward in Utakata's car that was parked on a secluded, grass hill somewhere on the outskirts of Tokyo, his azure eyes shimmering in awe.

"It's, like, so cool to actually watch the stars appear one by one," He said, grinning. "This is my first time seeing anything like this actually. When Sasuke and I were younger we would stare up at the night sky all the time, but it the stars were already out by then."

A tight laugh escaping him, Utakata's eyebrow twitched at the mention of Sasuke. "A-Ah, really? Well, I'm glad I'm the first you show you something like this. I figured you would like it," He replied, looking over at Naruto from where he was in the driver's seat. "The sky right now, it reminds me a bit of you, you know?"

Naruto turned his eyes away from the sky and looked at Utakata. "What? Really? How?"

"Well," Utakata started with a smile, his golden gaze wandering back to the sky. "The way the stars appear, so spontaneously and blindingly bright, it's kind of like how I never know what I'm going to get with you. Everything about you is so.. bright and full of life." He told him in all honesty, turning his head to see Naruto's cheeks had flushed. "It's something that makes me anxious, but amazed at the same time."

Naruto laughed a bit, sheepish. "R-Really? You're just going to go full-blown poet on me like that, Uta'? It's the first time I've heard anything like that–Nnh!" Surprised by the kiss that greeted his lips, Naruto went quiet.

Utakata smiled against the Uzumaki's plump mouth. Naruto could never simply accept an honest compliment and he both loved and hated that about him. Naruto was a humble person, but he wished he'd learn to bask a bit in how amazing he was.

Naruto began to move his lips against the Utakata's, his lover's hands cradling his face and bringing him in closer in order to deepen the kiss. Naruto tensed, his heart going at least twenty miles a minute. Kissing Utakata always made him feel anxious because he didn't know how far Utakata would try to take it.

Utakata couldn't explain how good Naruto's lips as he slipped his tongue into the kiss, drawing a soft moan out of Naruto. He yearned to hear more. He wanted to find out what else he could do to get more naughty sounds out of the blonde. How Naruto's expression and utterly smoking body would look in the throes of pleasure, beneath him. He hungered to make the blonde his, more than anything he had ever hungered for.

And desire was what led his hand down and onto Naruto's thigh. He forced Naruto's lips wider, a heat beginning to course throughout him.

Naruto groaned slightly, feeling Utakata's fingers inch in between his thighs and became uneasy. That was fine. It's not like he was doing anything more. Or, at least, that was what he had thought before Utakata reached for the belt of his slacks and began to unclasp it. "-Haah! –U-Utakata, stop." He demanded after breaking the kiss, panting.

A thick cloak of desire dark in his eyes, he smirked at him. "Oh, c'mon, Naruto. Let's fool around a little."

His blue eyes going wide, Naruto didn't even have the time to protest before Utakata managed to lower his seat back and then climb over onto him, pinning both of his wrists up over his head and against the seat's headrest. "Utakata, quit it!" He yelled, trying to fight against the police officer's brute grip, but Utakata took it upon himself to start kissing on his neck while straddled on him. It pissed Naruto off more than anything because he felt like he was being taken advantage of. "I'm serious, you fucking dip-shit! Get off of me!" He snarled out, bucking his hips up in order to knock Utakata off of him.

Utakata stopped when he heard how furious Naruto sounded, the sound of Naruto pissed chilling him to the point of losing his boner. He leaned up, staring down at the blonde widely. He felt insulted. He had never been denied of sex by anyone and here Naruto was, treating him like something foul that didn't deserve him. "What? Naruto, don't tell me you're still not ready? I mean… it's so romantic right now."

Naruto glared up at him, his hair messed. "And that's why you brought me out here? So you could get me to have sex with you?"

Utakata was taken aback, his brow furrowed. "O-Of course not, Naruto. I wanted to show you how beautiful it is out here.., but.. maybe I thought some ass would be cool too." He admitted with a shrug of his shoulder. "Hell, I'm ready. Aren't you?"

Naruto's glare darkened on the brunette as he tried to sit up, but Utakata still had a grip on his wrists. "Utakata, get the fuck off me right now." He gritted through his teeth and for Utakata's sake, his lover made the better decision to release him. "I can't believe you right now- No, actually I can because you've made it pretty obvious that that's all you want. You really pulled this shit and tried to confine to the point of being uncomfortable."

"Hm, so what you're saying is that you're not comfortable with me now?" Now he wore a glare as he moved off of the Uzumaki and sat back down in the driver's seat.

"Utakata, don't try to flip this around on me. First off, if it's anything that pisses me off it's being looked at like a personal fuck-toy. Yes, that shit makes me fucking uncomfortable! I don't give a shit how unfair you think it is to you when I say no, I mean no. When I say stop, I mean stop. So you got me all the way fucked up if you think that this is how shit's gonna fly with me! I don't know what you're used to, but-"

"I would rather you just tell me I'm not good enough to have you, Naruto. You're throwing a rather immature tantrum right now."

Naruto's eyebrows might as well have flown up into his hairline. No this asshole didn't just... He was silent for a moment, his body trembling in anger as he fixed the damn seat back. "Take me home." He finally said, his tone as sharp as a blade of ice.

Utakata reached over to touch his arm. "Naruto-"

"Utakata, take me home now!"

"No. We can talk about this."

"Whatever, you don't want to take me home? Fine then. I'm walking." Naruto opened the car door and got out.

"Naru-"

He slammed the door shut in his boyfriend's face before storming off. He had had enough of Utakata's bullshit.

Sasuke drove, listening to the low jazz playing through the car stereo, his mind wandering onto Naruto no matter how much he tried not to think about him. About what he was doing right now with... Utakata. He tightened grip on the steering-wheel, a frown quickly setting on his expression. He would feel better if he knew he was going home to Daisuke, but the boy was with his parents for tonight. Everything was one disappointment after another for him at the moment.

He ended up leaving the office late because he had received a call from the CEO of Byakugan Enterprises about scheduling a meeting to discuss their upcoming contract. The Uchiha and Hyuga were on good terms, personally, but they were still rivals in the business world. He guessed Hinata coming over to their incorporation had now forced Byakugan's hand and they were offering a 'truce', at least for now.

Sasuke pulled up to a stop-light and then his eyes glanced over onto his cell phone in the holder. He couldn't help that evil scheme that screamed for him to call Naruto and interrupt his date.

He wanted to see him, so badly.

His fingers tapping against the wheel, Sasuke shook the thought out of his mind. He could hear Naruto's annoyed voice already if he were to do that. He reclined back, waiting on the light and glanced over to look out of the window. And Lord, he almost did a double-take. He tensed, looked ahead and blinked a couple of times. Maybe he was so in love he was going crazy.

He turned to look onto the side-walk, again, and could thankfully rule-out going crazy because that was certainly Uzumaki Naruto.

When the light changed, he felt a leap in his heart and then it began to pound hard in excitement. Sasuke smiled and tailed after the blonde.

Naruto frowned, his feet aching from how much walking he had done. Utakata was so going to feel his wrath. He stopped, lifting his foot and took off that shoe before the other. "Ah, this sucks..," He winced, the concrete ground beneath him cold and the people bypassing him gave him a few odd glances. His frown deepened, but he held his head high. Utakata was so dead.

"Um, excuse me. The ground is dirty, sir."

Naruto was so annoyed that he looked to the voice with the dirtiest look he could muster, but his eyes widened at the car that pulled up along the curb with the window rolled down and he realized who it was. "Sasuke?"

"Hn," Sasuke showed him a smirk. "Dobe, just what are you doing? Stripping on the street? I didn't think your money problems were so bad."

Naruto scowled a bit, although it was half-hearted. "Oh, haha. Very funny, teme. I thought you would be home by now."

Sasuke said nothing and instead eyed Naruto's feet, intently. They were that sore. "Hn, get in." He commanded, not giving a damn if Naruto had a problem with his tone.

His shoulders sinking, Naruto wore a pout as he achingly stomped his way around to the other side of the car, getting in and tossing his shoes down onto the floor. "..Thanks." He muttered, closing the car door on his side and then they were driving through the city.

Sasuke drove with an impassive expression, but he wasn't deaf to the pained groans Naruto was letting out because of his sore feet. What the hell actually happened that Naruto ended up in such a predicament?

"So, Naruto, I'm going to guess your date didn't go well?" He dryly presumed, getting another groan out of Naruto, but this time it sounded annoyed. Sasuke could tell the annoyance wasn't directed at him though. "Want to talk about it?"

"Utakata's a total jerk-ass." He grumbled out, his facial expression dark.

Sasuke would be lying if he didn't admit he was finding whatever 'lover's squirrel' that happened between Naruto and Utakata amusing. Maybe he should wait for the relationship to self-destruct. Utakata already looked to be fucking up anyway. He inwardly smirked.

"He can go fuck himself for all I care," Naruto sneered, leaning back into the seat. He was tired, and Utakata only served to give him a headache tonight.

It was then that his cell started going off and blue eyes rolled.

Sasuke glance over at him. "You're not going to answer that?"

"No." Naruto ran his fingers through his hair, shutting his eyes. ".. I just wanna go home. I have a headache and that asshole keeps calling me, as if there's anything he could say to fix that stupid stunt he pulled. I don't want to talk to him right now." He was mid releasing a sigh when he felt warmth on his forehead and he opened his eyes to see Sasuke had reached over and now had the back of his hand settled on his forehead. "What are you doing, Sasuke?" He asked idly, his face flushing.

"Checking for a fever," Sasuke replied casually, steering with only one hand. "You catch colds easily during this time of the year and walking on the freezing cold ground couldn't have been good for you either, dobe. Also you're not wearing a jacket. You want me to turn the heat up higher for you?"

Naruto gazed at the side of the Uchiha's delicate jaw, quiet. The fact that Sasuke knew just about everything about him made his heart throb, and it was painful. He thought maybe he had been moving on, but he still longed for the Uchiha. Maybe there was honestly no hope for him. Naruto was disappointed when the man took his hand away and rubbed at his own forehead, where Sasuke's hand had been.

Sasuke looked over Naruto completely once he reached a stop-light and a fine, dark brow rose. "Hm, you don't have a fever, although you do look very red." He pinched a whiskered cheek.

Naruto laughed a little and then swatted at the assaulting, pale hand. "I do not." He retorted, pouting again. "... You know, how about we go back to your place?"

Sasuke's demeanor was stoic, but his heart immediately began to race at the suggestion. Being all alone with Naruto excited him more than he would have anticipated.

"Hn. Whatever you want, dobe."

Naruto shot him a wide, cheeky grin. "Oh, is it all about my wants tonight?"

Sasuke stilled, a hidden blush rushing to his cheeks because of the 'dirty-context' that appeared in his mind when Naruto said it like that. "I would advise you n-not to push it, Uzumaki."

With a suck of his teeth, Naruto shrugged his shoulders.

The rest of the drive to Sasuke's place was quiet, but comfortable, even as the Uchiha parked in the driveway.

As Sasuke went onto unbuckle his own seat-belt after shutting off the car, his cell phone started going off and he answered it after the seeing the caller ID. "What, Kagami?"

Naruto eyed Sasuke as he unbuckled his own seat-belt.

"Daisuke? Why are you calling me from me Kagami's number?" He questioned, his eyebrow rising. "Hn? Pick you up from where? ...Oi, oi, Daisuke, slow down. I can't keep up with what you're going on about."

Naruto laughed a little, hearing Daisuke's excited voice going on and on, a mile a minute.

"Where are you, Daisuke?"

"With Kaga' and Shisui, Daddy."

Sasuke frowned, skeptical. "And why are you with them?"

"Um… they came by Grandma's and said they were going to a Vocaloid concert, so I asked if I could go and Grandma said it was okay."

"So you're in Sapporo right now? And what the hell is Vocaloid?" Sasuke's eye twitched in annoyance. He did not trust those two irresponsible morons with his child, at any given time. Uchiha Shisui and Kagami were brothers, with Shisui being the oldest, and his beloved cousins. And they were what Sasuke referred to as never-in-your-motherfucking-life-time babysitters. Kagami, the less intelligent of the two worked at one of the most luxurious and pristine host clubs in Asia owned by their grandfather, Indra. However, even though their grandfather owned such businesses, he was very much displeased by Kagami's choice of... career. Shisui, on the other hand, managed the Chinese branch of Uchiha Corp. He was only back in Japan for a vacation and he guessed this was what he planned to do with his free time.

Naruto deadpanned, giving a shake of his head. "Sasuke, you've never heard of Vocaloid?" Sasuke showed him a blank stare and that pretty much answered his question. It would be pointless to explain it.

"Alright, Daisuke. I'll come and pick you up from Madara's tomorrow, but explain to me what Vocaloid is. And does this concert involve strippers?" Sasuke's gaze narrowed when the phone was handed over to Kagami.

"Itoko, dude, don't worry. He's with us, and it's nothing inappropriate. Honest to God." Kagami jeered with a laugh.

"Just keep an eye on my kid, got it. I swear if anything happens to him I'll-"

"Calm down, Sasuke. We are family. You should trust us a little."

Sasuke frowned. "Last time I trusted you two with Daisuke, you both left my baby at a public park."

"Hn, you're still on that? He was, like, two, and unharmed when we went back for him."

"Kagami, you better not let anything happen to my son or-"

"Okay, okay! I get it. Are you done now? We've got a concert to go to."

Sasuke breathed out, ending the call, and Naruto snickered at the distressed expression that claimed his face.

"A purple butterfly, on your right shoulder, we kissed, in the corner of the room!,"

The glow sticks held by the crowd and stage lights illuminated the dark concert hall as the 3D hologram performed on the stage up ahead.

Kagami, a huge Vocaloid fan, sang along and waved his blue glow stick around with Daisuke on his shoulders, of course the three of them fully disguised to avoid being recognized as they enjoyed themselves. Their grandfather would be disgraced to know that this was what they were doing with their time of leisure, but fuck him. He was having the time of his life and from what he could tell, Daisuke was as well.

"Oh my God! He's so awesome!" Daisuke cheered in the hall of screaming fans, his eyes shimmering in awe. He was utterly and completely in love with Vocaloid, and with especially Len. His angelic, aqua blue eyes were big and adorable, his hair was in a very cool style, and he was an amazing dancer too.

His arms across his chest, Shisui leaned in toward his younger brother and whispered, "Don't you think we should tell him they're not real, Kagami?"

Kagami looked his brother, indifferent. "And kill his spirit? You remember how it was when we found out Santa Claus wasn't real, right? It crushed us."

Shisui raised his eyes onto the child singing along with the 3D hologram, concerned. "But still.."

"Look, he'll find out eventually. But he's only five right now. I would rather him find out when he's older. Wouldn't you, Aniki?" He touched Shisui's shoulder, showing him a small smile.

"I mean, ... I guess."

"I'm so pitiful that I wanna die. Do I have more pleasures or regrets? I'm gonna go nuts. Stop me please. Give me a moment of peace, and kill me right away...!" Len, the Vocaloid, belted into the microphone of his headset.

His fingers clasped together, Daisuke admired the blond with starry eyes. "Kagamine Len. .. So cool!"

Naruto wrinkled his nose at the shrieking of the alarm clock going off the next morning and cracked a blue eye open, annoyed. "..Sasuke," He grumbled out, reaching over to shove the Uchiha asleep beside him, but his hand hadn't quite reached him. Naruto lifted his head up from the pillow, his eyes barely open and his hair strewn. For some reason Sasuke was almost at the edge of the bed. What the hell?

"Teme, turn it off!" He grouched, outstretching his arm and shoving the raven in his back.

Sasuke's dark eyes flew open in reaction to the powerful shove he received that awoke him from his sleep, and Naruto's touch. Startled, he rolled out of the bed and hit the floor with a hard and loud thud. And to think he thought with that much space between them he could avoid bare-skin contact. Sasuke stayed on the floor, a flush of red riding along his cheekbones. His heart had leaped at Naruto's touch, even though he had been asleep, and his first instinct had been to 'get away' from it. Lord knows what he would've woken up with something much worst than the usual 'morning-wood.' Hell that had been his reason for putting that much distant between them last night. Sasuke didn't think he could possibly control himself if they had slept so close. "Shit." He cussed, his groan that came after resounding throughout the bedroom.

Naruto's eyebrows crinkled in, oddly. He didn't get what the hell was up with Sasuke lately.

Sasuke grimaced, finally deciding to pick himself up off of the floor and turned off the the alarm clock on the nightstand that had still been going off. "Ah, damn it, Naruto. Was that really necessary?" He then rubbed at his sore shoulder, the pajama pants he wore riding low on his hips.

His blue gaze lingering on the shirtless raven, Naruto felt a familiar heat rush to his cheeks. Normally dark, perfectly kempt hair was disheveled and that body- Lord, that body. His eyes wandered down the man's lean build, skimming over toned, snow-white abs as Sasuke stretched and Naruto almost drooled when his venturing eyes stopped on the V line of Sasuke's torso. He swallowed. Naruto didn't think he could ever get used to the sight of Sasuke's bare skin.

He wished he was the only one who had ever seen this side of Sasuke, so when he remembered he wasn't, he frowned. It was only then that he realized he felt much better than yesterday, especially his head. Yeah, Sasuke's head massages sure did work wonders.

"Hn. Glad I'm reminded of why I hate waking up next to you," Sasuke narrowed his expression at the blonde, taking a seat on the bed after he relieved his muscles with a full-body stretch. "Next time I'll force you to take the floor, or Daisuke's bed."

"No, I'm sorry," Naruto laughed, sitting up in the bed and pulling the comforter up to his grinning mouth. He really did feel bad now. "You know how my temperament is in the morning and I thought you were trying to be a smart-ass by letting the alarm go off for so long."

"Naruto, it hadn't even been going off for a minute."

Naruto glanced over at the sound of cell phone vibrating on the nightstand on his side of the bed. Ugh, he forgot he would have to deal with that. He decided to ignore his cell and showed Sasuke an apologetic smile. "Look, my fault. I'll even cook us breakfast to make it up to you before I have to go," He said, throwing the covers off of himself and getting out of the bed. "Utakata's been calling me all night, so I'll have to make it quick-" He froze when all of a sudden Sasuke, in one swift movement, had him by the wrist, his clutch tight.

Naruto eyed him, stunned.

The look Naruto was giving him causing his face to flush slightly, Sasuke's eyes were wide. Damn it, he was being too obvious. "Uh, do you have to leave that soon? I would rather you stay a little longer." He insisted, releasing his grip on Naruto. "Or I'll get bored."

Naruto said nothing at first, still surprised by how quick Sasuke had grabbed him and then gave a nod. "Um, alright. If that's what you want," He laughed a bit, sheepish. "Geez, I'm starting to think I've been spoiling you too much, Sasuke."

Sasuke cleared his throat, forcing away the redness on his face. "Hn. Exactly. It's your fault I'm so needy."

"Oh whatever," Naruto rolled his eyes, a laugh leaving him as he started making his way around the bed. "I'm going to make breakfast then. Is my spare toothbrush still in the bathroom?"

"Yes."

It was almost noon as Naruto heaved a large basket of dirty clothes and set it on the table beside the washer machine, Sasuke standing by to observe. "Ya know, at the healthy age of twenty-one you should know damn well how to wash some clothes," Naruto murmured, untwisting the cap off of the jug of detergent. This didn't not fly with his dad, at all. Iruka was all about knowing how to take care of a house and one's self. Naruto had had no choice but to learn how to do these things young. "How do you even wash clothes on your own any other time?"

"Well, I never actually do it myself. Most times I call my mother and ask her to come do the laundry since she refuses to send me a servant over. If Mother can't do it, I look to Daisuke for the directions since he's watched Mother wash clothes from time to time. And of course whenever you're over here I don't have to worry about the laundry."

Naruto pursed his mouth, not sparing the man even a glance. "Your mother won't always be there to help you, Sasuke. Neither will I."

"Hn," Sasuke waved him off, turning his nose up at that. "I shouldn't be doing laundry in the first place. My hands are costly."

"You're the only guy I know proud to flaunt his manicures." Naruto shook his head, laughing as he dumped another cap full of detergent into the washer machine.

"Of course. And it seems I'll need another one soon," He wore a disgruntled frown, eyeing a chipped nail he hadn't noticed until now. He looked closer, sickened. "Damn. This nail looks horrid, what could've caused that…"

Naruto looked back over his shoulder and at the raven reclined against the wall fretting over a nail, a half-grin on his face. "You couldn't sound more like a bitch, dude. Makes me wonder how none of your relationships ever went smoothly. I'd think you'd be able to relate to chicks more than anyone."

Sasuke shot him a narrowed glare, feeling insulted. "Uzumaki, I could very well fire for that comment."

"Oh alright," Naruto shouted in mock of surrender, turning back to the washer machine. "I'm sorry for hurting your feelings. Don't have a fucking bitch-fit, teme."

The corner of Sasuke's mouth twitched. "Fuck you, Naruto."

"Well fuck you too, bitch."

Sasuke couldn't help the laugh that left him.

"Hey, get over here and help me. I refuse to be your slave, so I'm going to show you what you're supposed to do and you better pay close attention."

"Hey, Sasuke! I'm going!" Naruto was slipping on one of Sasuke's hoodies when Sasuke had been coming down the stairs, dressed as well, and Naruto saw that once he had gotten the hoodie on. "What, you have to go get Dai' already?" He asked, slipping his cell phone into the pocket of the hoodie.

"Yes. Apparently he's causing trouble at my uncle's place and Naka is the one babysitting. You know how his temperament is."

"Yeah, I do," Naruto let out a laugh, standing near the coffee table. "Naka's gonna flip his shit soon. He is not down for looking after people's kids."

"Hn." Sasuke walked over to the couch, feeling for his keys to make sure he had them and then he heard Naruto's phone text-alert 'bing' go off, back to back. He looked at the Uzumaki and Naruto had his phone out, clearly sending off a 'heated' text to the erratic sender.

Sasuke stared at Naruto, the reluctance that always seemed to overwhelm him somehow nonexistent in that moment. All he knew was he didn't want to see Naruto with Utakata any longer, ... he didn't want to see him with anyone other than him. "Naruto."

"Hm?" Naruto lifted his eyes off of his cell and looked at the Uchiha.

"After this, you're heading to go see Saiken, right?"

Naruto shrugged his shoulders, breathing out in annoyance. "Yeah, he wants to talk, so..."

"Could you say that you're happy with him?" Sasuke asked, walking closer to Naruto and blue eyes widened in surprise.

Naruto felt himself tense up, his heart speeding up immensely for some odd reason. Why was he nervous about answering that question? He breathed in, working to calm himself. "Uh, y-yeah. I guess, ..I could say that," He replied with a bit of hesitation, slipping his cell back into the pocket of the hoodie. He inwardly cringed. He hadn't even sounded honest. He was happy... wasn't he? "I mean.. Utakata is a great guy, even if he can be a pushy jerk at times. It's just something I've learned to deal with at this point, ya know." Naruto rubbed the back of his neck, looking off elsewhere.

Sasuke stopped right in front of his dobe and looked him directly in the eyes. "Do you love him, Naruto?"

"W-What?!" Baffled, Naruto's eyebrows flew up. "Um, I mean, I like Utakata, but l-love..? I wouldn't say I love him."

The smile that broke out on his lips was purely one of relief. It was clear where Naruto's heart still was.

Naruto laughed a little, snapping his fingers in front of Sasuke's face in attempt to break him out of the weird stare he was giving him. "Hey, Sasuke, you cool? Why're you looking so weird right now?"

"Because you've been making me weird, idiot," Sasuke admitted with a small chuckle and Naruto stared back at him in confusion. So beautifully confused. Sasuke said nothing as he reached out and pressed his palm against a tan, whiskered cheek, and he noted the way Naruto stilled at his touch. Naruto's heart was still with him.

Naruto parted his lips to say something, but no words had a chance to leave his mouth because suddenly Sasuke had leaned in and captured his lips.

The immediate sparks that went off throughout him turned to flames, flames of every emotion he harbored in the moment that their lips met. His senses felt electrified. His brow furrowed, Sasuke gingerly moved his lips against the Uzumaki's. He was mesmerized.. by how full and soft Naruto's mouth felt. He hadn't thought it was possible that Naruto's lips would feel better than they looked, but God, was he wrong. Naruto's mouth felt better than any woman's. So moist and supple. Sasuke could feel himself growing hard with each passing second.

Naruto was shocked, his eyes stupidly wide and heart at a stand-still. What in the hell was going on? Was this really happening? Was... Sasuke kissing him? His eyes followed the close of Sasuke's eyes and a dark red sped onto his face. The kiss was experimental, chaste at first, but Naruto was left breathless, as if it had been the most passionate kiss he had ever received, from the first person he had ever come to love in his life.

Sasuke forced himself to pull away from Naruto, finding that almost painful, and it was then that he witness the flustered and enthrall expression on the blonde's face. He smiled at him, his own heart pounding so hard he felt like he could hear it in his ears. "Damn. Now I know I'm in love because that's the first kiss that's ever drove me insane."

His breathing coming in thick and heavy, Naruto couldn't muster up a response, so his body decided to respond for him. He dragged Sasuke by the back of his neck into another kiss, their mouths crashing into each other with a hunger that made them seem starved of one another. Naruto shuddered at the sensation of Sasuke's mouth on his, his blue eyes slipping close as he savored the taste of Uchiha Sasuke. It was far better than what he had ever imagined it would be like. He tilted his head, kissing him deeper and the second Sasuke's tongue skimmed his, Naruto's legs felt like they turned to jelly. He muffled a moan into the kiss, weak to the intensity of the pleasure, and emotions he had learned to suppress for a long time. Everything was going off like fireworks and he couldn't control anything.

Sasuke groaned when Naruto pulled him closer, the now rock-hard erection he gained from JUST KISSING the Uzumaki rubbing against Naruto's thigh.

Naruto couldn't think straight as stern, pale fingers wound into the back of his hair and held him in place while his mouth was devoured by the taller man. The way Sasuke was dominating his mouth was a lot more aggressive than how Utakata was with him.

His blue eyes shot open as that thought triggered his right mind and Naruto struggled to stop himself, but it was hard to speak with Sasuke's tongue in his mouth. "Sas-… Mmhah–! W-wai-" He muttered around the appendage, but he still couldn't get the Uchiha to budge. Naruto gripped Sasuke's shoulders, conjuring up the strength to push the man away from him and Sasuke panted hard, wide-eyed.

Naruto stared back at him, a great fluster taking over his face and wetness arose in his eyes. "Oh my God. ...That was very bad," He murmured, more to himself as he backed away and brought a hand to his mouth. He couldn't believe he just did that.

Sasuke's eyebrows drew in, insult hardened in his dark gaze. "Bad? What do you mean bad?" He went forward, his grip forceful as he grabbed Naruto's wrist, stopping the blonde from backing away any further. "Naruto, I told you that I love you, so in what way-"

"I have a boyfriend, Sasuke!" He yelled, yanking his wrist out of Sasuke's hold, more angry with himself than Sasuke. "I can't believe I just did that.." The hand on his lips began to tremble. He cheated. He just cheated on someone! He drove a hand into his hair, trying to think about what just happened not even a couple of moments ago. "I am.. very confused right now. ."

"Because I kissed you?–"

"-Yes! Why would you do that? Why.. What the hell is going on?" He rambled, trying his best to process that.. Sasuke fucking kissed him?!

"Because I love you to the point that it's been driving me crazy, dobe," Sasuke grabbed Naruto by the shoulders, looking straight into wavering, azure eyes. "Do you know how hard it's been to even control myself-"

"Stop. Just, stop, Sasuke," He told him, although his voice wasn't as harsh as it should have been. "I have a boyfriend! It's not that simple to just be with you."

"Why isn't it?" Sasuke tightened his grip. "You can simply call him right now and break it off."

Naruto looked at Sasuke as if he was actually insane. "Sasuke..."

"Naruto, tell me you don't love me." Sasuke demanded, yet the sharpness in his words broke and his expression faltered into a pained one. "Say it, Naruto. Tell me that you don't love me. If you tell me that, I'll stop."

His lips tight, Naruto felt the Uchiha's hold on him let up and took that moment to back away from him. "Sasuke, I-I... have to go." It took a lot for him to turn away from the man, put on his shoes as quick as he could and leave out of that house without saying another thing to him.

Sasuke stood there in the silence of his house and his heart ached. It seriously ached. Like it had ripped or something had slashed it, as ruthlessly as possible. He moved to sit down on the couch, a dejected, humorless laugh leaving him. "That... usuratonkachi." He went quiet, letting his head fall back. Was this what love was? Something so painful, that could rip him apart, and so easily?
