Bath Attendant or Lemon at Last

Sasuke couldn't move. It had been a long day, his arms and legs were totally cramped, and he could feel the ramen sloshing in his stomach. He did not feel well. The dirt in his hair felt like it was caking up in the humidity. If only this was 12 years ago, Oni-chan would wash me, and take care of me. I'm so embarrassed to be like this in front of Naruto. The thoughts of his happier days as a small child with his brother and the muscle pain that he was experiencing and what was now his exhaustion in front of Naruto was too much to bear. Leaning further forward so that Naruto wouldn't be able to see his face, he let tears fall from his eyes.

Naruto entered the bath again; Sasuke was still facing the wall, but was leaning totally forward on the stool. He saw that the wash cloth had not been moved, and he heard Sasuke's breathing was a bit ragged. Coming up behind him, he put his hand on Sasuke's shoulder.

"Sasuke, let me help you wash your hair, it's so dirty."

Picking up the wash cloth, he picked up the small wash basin and filled it with warm water. Then he carefully poured it slowly over Sasuke's lowered head. As it drained away from his hair, dark with dirt and bits of leaves, he saw Sasuke's body give a shake and a gasp of air. He refilled the basin and repeated the rinse, and as it was almost empty the water flowing off Sasuke's head was almost clear. Naruto put the basin down, and picked up the shampoo. Now on his knees next to Sasuke, he was about to put his hands into Sasuke's hair. I'm trembling. Why am I trembling? I've seen Sasuke bathe before but I never was this physically close to him and I never washed his hair. I've never washed anyone's hair. He's going to snap up and kill me, I just know it. Wait, I forgot, I have these splints on my fingers, I wonder if I can take them off? Kyuubi! Kyuubi!

Kyuubi changed his attention to focus on Naruto's call. What does the brat want me for? "Nonde, brat!" Kyuubi accessed Naruto's senses to assess the situation. He was surprised that Naruto was in the bathroom, and there naked on the stool was that damned Uchiha bastard.

"Kyuubi, can I take the splints off my fingers for a while? I want to wash."

Kyuubi didn't really care, but there wasn't enough calcium in packaged ramen to use for fixing the broken fingers. He had reallocated tiny amounts of calcium from other bones to use in making the repairs. He had learned a lot about how humans were put together being with Naruto, and would put that knowledge to good use when he was free.

"Brat, your fingers could still break again. It will take a few days to really fix them and only if you eat some dark greens, milk, cheese or eggs with the shell still on. You have to eat something other than ramen! Don't put pressure on them if you do break them I'm not going to fix them and it will take a 6 weeks to heal."

Kyuubi decided that he wanted to know what was going on, so he was going to watch for a while. Naruto was usually pretty boring which is one of the reasons Kyuubi spent so much of his time, tinkering with Naruto's various systems. He now knew so many ways to kill humans now, slowly and painfully. It was going to be much more fun than simply using one of his tails or paws to simply crush or toss them to the ground.

"Kyuubi, you sound like Shizune. Thanks," said Naruto.

Naruto pleased with what Kyuubi had said, put the shampoo bottle down and started to unwrap his bandaged fingers, and put the splints on a nearby shelf to put back on later. Eggs with the shell? How do you eat eggs with the shell? Again, returning to look at Sasuke, Naruto realized that he didn't want to really kneel naked in front of Sasuke, but Sasuke still hadn't really moved. He decided that the shampoo could wait, but that washing Sasuke's back might speed up getting into the tub. Naruto knelt behind Sasuke. Using the water left in the basin he soaked the washcloth, picked up the soap and worked lather into the fabric. With his good hand he put the cloth to Sasuke's back and starting moving it around. Another shudder went through Sasuke's body, causing Naruto to stop.

"Its okay, Naruto. Please. My arms and legs are so cramped, if you wouldn't mind, could you lather me so I can get into the tub?" Sasuke waited to see what would happen. After a moment, Naruto's hand was moving again with the washcloth around Sasuke's back. It felt nice.

Naruto was working his way down and across Sasuke's back. The pale skin looked even paler in the unflattering stark light of the bath room. He could see a line of puncture wounds running across the middle of Sasuke's back. Those must be from Haku. I don't have any scars like his.

"No, brat. I fix your skin perfectly, you have no scars at all, and you have no appreciation," Kyuubi interrupted. Naruto ignored the outburst.

He wanted to take his bare finger and touch each one of those wounds, but he had a more immediate worry, the wash cloth had reached Sasuke's butt. He really didn't want to wash that. So, he rinsed the wash cloth and lathered it again, and went back to Sasuke's shoulders and started working it quickly down Sasuke's arm.

"Naruto, please, could you massage my arm a bit? It's so painful."

Naruto stopped. Sasuke still hadn't looked at him and was bent almost fully at the waist. He must be serious. Naruto put down the cloth and picked up Sasuke's hand with his and began to manipulate it with his fingers. With his own soft fingers, he could feel the calluses on Sasuke's hand. He could feel the thickness that ran in lines on some of the fingers as he continued to manipulate them. He worked up to Sasuke's wrist and forearm; there were a couple scars there, too. He could feel the knotted muscles and using his good hand would massage it away. He wet his hands in the water and lathered them up, and continued to massage Sasuke's upper arm with his soapy hands, even using the back of his hand to wipe lather in Sasuke's armpit, hoping to make Sasuke jump, but all he got was a shudder. Naruto refilled the basin, and went around to Sasuke's other side, to start working on the other arm. Just using his hands and lather, he massaged and washed Sasuke.

Sasuke had never felt anything like this. It had been nice when Naruto had used the washcloth on his back, but Naruto's hands on his skin was like being rubbed with velvet. They were like a little kid's hands. They might be like a girl's hands, a girl who wasn't a martial artist. Sasuke was certain that no one had hands like Naruto's, so soft and so strong at the same time.

Naruto looked at Sasuke as he lathered up his arm. There was no fat on Sasuke, the skin just covered the muscle underneath. He could see Sasuke's ribs move as he took each breath. The skin was extremely pale, except for the scaring that thickened it and had a faint pink hue. He could feel Sasuke relax more and more after each rub from his hands. He had never done this with anyone before, he really felt like he and Sasuke were brothers, he felt pretty good. He finished Sasuke's arm which was now covered with lather. Again, he refilled the basin, and moved over to sit in front of Sasuke.

"Stretch out your leg." Sasuke repositioned his leg so that it rested between Naruto's knees. Naruto lathered up his hands and moved to raise the foot up. And started working on it massaging it with his soapy hands, again wondering at the hard calluses on the edges and toes. He concentrated on the foot, and ankle in front of him. Lathering up again he started working on the calf, feeling the knotted muscles and one or two scars under his soft hands. He continued up to the knee and onto Sasuke's thigh. He was about halfway up the thigh massaging the lather onto the skin when he noticed that the skin on the inside of Sasuke's thigh was much softer. It made him pause.

Sasuke was holding his breath. Getting his foot massaged was unbelievable. He had never believed that someone's foot was capable of such feelings. Now he understood those chapters in Itchi Itchi Paradise where the entire story seemed to be about getting the character going from person to person getting foot massages. Naruto had worked the knots out of his calf and had his hands on his thigh. He didn't want Naruto to stop, but Naruto did stop. Thinking it must be because of the stool being in the way, Sasuke moved forward so that more of his thigh was freed of the stool. He was still bent forward and Naruto's head was right next to his. He was sure that Naruto couldn't see that he was chubbing up down there, his torso and arms between his legs must be shielding him.

Sasuke had moved forward with Naruto's hands sliding up his thigh. Half-hardily Naruto massaged the new area, and stopped. Changing the water in the basin again, he was presented with Sasuke's other leg. Almost done. Sasuke can do the rest himself. Naruto concentrated on the foot in front of him. Sasuke was breathing in short gasps, and Naruto puzzled, looked at Sasuke's head. Sasuke for the first time lifted his head so that it could be seen.

"Naruto, that feels so wonderful, would you please finish?"

Naruto could see that there were tracks down Sasuke's face, and he had such a nice smile; he would do anything for his friend. Besides, he still had to wash and he wanted to get into that tub. He continued working the calf and worked up to Sasuke's thigh. This time, when he had just passed the midpoint, he felt a tickle on the back of his hand which also brought a gasp from Sasuke. EWUUU, he's perving on me! Naruto snatched his hand away to find his wrist caught in Sasuke's grip.

Kyuubi watching knew that Sasuke was getting turned on. He decided to play a trick on Naruto. Ever so slowly, he caused blood to flow into Naruto's member, chubbing him up. Ever since Naruto had reached puberty, Kyuubi had made sure that he had nothing on any other human when erect; Naruto had a sex organ that befitted a demon. When it wasn't time to use it, it was small and out of the way of injury, just like any animal. It pained Kyuubi that Naruto was so socially backward. Naruto's sexy no jitsu was also a point of contention. Kyuubi had told him on several occasions that instead of changing to a sexy girl, he should change to a sexy hunk with a huge erection, only the in-joke would be that the erection was real and not a henge. I should just sit back and watch the fun!

Sasuke gasped, the tip of his penis had rubbed against the soapy back of Naruto's soft hand. He wanted Naruto to touch him everywhere with those hands. When he felt Naruto's movement away from him, he grabbed one hand by the wrist and getting off the stool he went to his knees right in front of Naruto.

"Naruto, no one has touched me in a long time, since I was a child. Please. I want you to touch me…" Sasuke grabbed Naruto with his other hand and pulled him into a tight embrace. Naruto gasped loudly. Sasuke could feel his erection against Naruto's abdomen. He felt something, poking him back. He wanted to see. He loosened his hug and Naruto stiffened. Sasuke looked at Naruto's face and saw the pain there. Looking the first time at Naruto's nude body, his eyes saw the huge area of dark bruising over his right side just below the ribs. Sasuke grabbed Naruto's upper arms and looked over Naruto's shoulder to see the injury continued on his back. "Naruto, you didn't tell me. I'm so sorry; I didn't mean to hurt you. You've been helping me when you were in so much pain yourself. May I return the favor and wash your back?"

Naruto was struck dumb, Sasuke had grabbed him by the wrist, and made that stupid little speech. Stupid asshole. No one's touched HIM? No one's touched ME! GAHH, that HURTS! Sasuke, had just grabbed him around the waist and pulled-- his kidney was still sore and it hurt bad. I'll be pissing blood again. What's this against my belly…Naruto felt the heat from Sasuke's body. The air in the bath room was beginning to chill, and Sasuke holding him in his arms was very warm. Sasuke's was hot against his belly. Naruto could feel his own member filling and lifting as it slipped against Sasuke's skin, but he didn't want the pressure of Sasuke's arm on his kidney and stiffened up so he wouldn't move anymore. Tears were coming to his eyes. When the pressure was released, he saw Sasuke looking closely into his eyes. He didn't resist when Sasuke treated him like a doll moving him as he wished.

He was almost numb with pain when he heard Sasuke say; "Naruto, you didn't tell me. I'm so sorry; I didn't mean to hurt you. You've been helping me when you were in so much pain yourself. May I return the favor and wash your back?"

He didn't know how to respond. He saw Sasuke take the basin and rinse his hands in the water. Sasuke lathering up with the soap. Sasuke put a hand on his left shoulder and with the other gently touched his lower right abdomen rubbing gently with those calloused hands up to the rib cage, and over to his center line. Refreshing his hand with water and soap, Sasuke started to wash up to Naruto's chest brushing the nipple lightly. The rough feel of Sasuke's callused hand on his nipple made Naruto shudder and made his nipple erect. Sasuke's other hand joined in a soapy rub of Naruto's chest. Naruto just sat on his heels as Sasuke stood once again on his knees and with two soap filled hands pulled Naruto close to him, their chests touching as he felt the hands on his back rubbing his shoulders and scapula. Sasuke's heat slid easily between their soapy skin as he was held there with his head over Sasuke's shoulder and Sasuke's head over his. He took his own hands and put them around Sasuke moving them in the already drying lather on Sasuke's back. Naruto could feel his own member once again lifting and growing, as Sasuke was sitting up on his knees, it was between Sasuke's legs, it brushed his scrotum in one of its rhythmic pulses that were in time with his heartbeat.

Sasuke holding Naruto tight was happy. It felt so good to hold someone so close to his skin. He felt so good sliding along Naruto. He felt the warmth growing between his legs and something brushing his balls as they hung between them. He wiggled a bit to move Naruto's organ between his thighs and closed them tightly holding it between them. It was so hot. Sasuke moved his hands down Naruto's back down to his ass, and handled the cheeks in his soapy hands. He was rewarded with the heat between his thighs getting bigger and hotter. Holding one butt cheek in each hand he encouraged Naruto to get off of his heels and onto his knees, and as he did this Sasuke spread his knees to encompass Naruto's hips. He sat down on his own heels, again feeling the hot rod move up under him and rub along his perineum and extend to his anus.

Naruto responded to the sensations that Sasuke was producing in his body. He could feel himself between Sasuke's thighs, and the movement caused by sitting up from Sasuke's cupping of his butt was great, even if it was a bit dry when he was not just between Sasuke's thighs. He held Sasuke's back so that Sasuke wouldn't just pull away. It did feel really good.

Sasuke whispered in Naruto's ear. "Can we stand up and shower off, I want to finish washing with you." Naruto stood still holding Sasuke close. He had one of those sprays on a long hose and a holder that was set higher than his head. Releasing Sasuke, he adjusted the taps so that the water would flow out the shower head and over them. He grabbed the shampoo bottle for good measure. The hot water came on and started rinsing off the soap from their bodies. Neither one looked at the other's erection. They both knew that they were there. Sasuske was all wet and Naruto put some shampoo in his hand and then reached for Sasuke's hair, working the soap into suds. Suddenly, Sasuke dropped down squatting in front of Naruto. Naruto kept working the hair now at crotch level. Sasuke had picked up the soap and was working on Naruto's legs, working his way up. Just when he was almost at Naruto's crotch he stopped and began working on the other leg. Naruto took one hand and pulled the spray from the holder and washed the suds out of Sasuke's hair, not caring if he got soap into Sasuke's eyes. He could hear Sasuke sputter as the soap rinsed down his face. Pulling a way from Sasuke, he picked up the shampoo again, and started doing Sasuke's hair again. This time the shampoo really foamed in the cleaned hair. Sasuke had returned to his leg and was working his hands up again. This time instead of stopping, Sasuke ran one hand under and behind Naruto's balls and into the space between his cheeks. The movement brought him so close to Naruto's erection that it slapped Sasuke in the cheek. Naruto totally stupified, wondered what Sasuke was going to do next.

Sasuke stood up, dragging the hand that had been between Naruto's cheeks with him. As it brushed by Naruto's jewels, Sasuke grabbed them giving them a gentle pull and rolled them between his fingers. He had never imagined that Naruto would have such a huge erection. After all, he had been with him on missions; they had shared tents, and other sleeping quarters. They had bathed in rivers and bath houses, and pissed in the woods. He was like all guys and had checked out the competition, he had thought Naruto was small. Sai had told him, that Naruto was 'nothing special.' He let go of Naruto's sack and began to stroke. He could not wrap his hand around it.

Naruto knew what it felt like to use lotion or soap and get himself off. There could be nothing more embarrassing than having a wet dream while on a mission. It was always better to take control of the situation and drop a load in a controlled environment. Kakashi had told him many years ago that he should masturbate occasionally if he didn't want to keep washing his sheets and pajamas every time it happened. Kakashi had popped up early one morning to get Naruto for a mission and had found him asleep in some sodden bedclothes when he had been dreaming of kissing Saskura after a date. When Naruto traveled with Jiriya he made sure that he masturbated regularly in private. He certainly did not want to have a conversation about that with ero-sensei. But, doing yourself certainly did not feel as good as someone else doing you. Sasuke was making him feel really good. He wasn't able to do this with his clones because the clones would always want him to do them, just like the massage thing. Once he had a clone do a sexy no jitsu, but as they got more passionate, he would lose focus and the clone would pop. The thoughts from the clone after they popped were also confusing and disturbing; he could see and feel himself feeling up himself, it was like he was doing himself, anyway. But Sasuke had a really good grip on him with just enough pressure on each stroke with a nice rub at the end. He wanted to return the favor, so he reached over and grabbed Sasuke, treating Sasuke like Sasuke treated him, it fit so well in his hand unlike his own which required two hands to enclose.

Sasuke responded to Naruto's touch with renewed effort. It was very slippery. Naruto was doing the same for him, and with his soft hands, Sasuke was about to explode. He pulled Naruto close to him under the spray putting his head next to Naruto's ear. He felt Naruto pulse in his hand and then convulse as he ejaculated. Some of the liquid landed on Sasuke's abdomen and chest and where it did, it felt like lava before it rinsed away in the spray. It triggered his own eruption and he convulsed between Naruto's fingers. Pulling back both boys looked each other in the eye and blushed, and looked away, releasing their mutual grips. Rinsing their hands under the spray, they laughed and shared soap between them to give another pass at each other's bodies. Sasuke washed Naruto's hair. Now, clean, and rinsed they went over to the tub filled with hot water. It wasn't that hot anymore, but it was warmer than the air in the bath room and they both climbed in and sat side by side, warming up in the water. Neither new what to say to the other. After a while the water seemed cold and they hopped out. Naruto grabbed some towels to dry off.

They both walked out of the bath wrapped in towels. Naruto passed the now silent washing machine. Looking at Sasuke, he turned and opened it, starting to pull out the underwear, jacket, shirts and pants. Giving each a sharp shake he stretched and hung them on the crowded drying rack. Taking some of his dried clothing off the rack he said; "Sasuke, here's some clean pajamas for you."

Sasuke looked at the walrus patterned pj's and said, "I don't need them," and grabbed Naruto's arm. "Where's the bed, I want to go to sleep." Naruto led him to his unmade bed, and lifting the sheets and blankets to give them a shake and then letting them spread over the bed when the settled down. Sasuke hopped under the covers dropping his towel on the way. Naruto just looked at him settling in. Sasuke looked over his shoulder at Naruto standing there wrapped in his towel. "Hey baka, come to bed you'll catch a cold out there." Naruto dropped his towel and climbed in, rolling over next to Sasuke. Sasuke reached behind him, grabbed Naruto's right hand and pulled it around his waist, and moved his back so that it pressed up against Naruto. After it moment, he felt warm along his back. An arm was around his waist holding him close. Sasuke thought it was wonderful.

Naruto thought it was pretty wonderful too, and decided to say nothing and just closed his eyes.

Kyuubi thought it was a wonderful opportunity and wondered how long he would have to wait before he made Naruto hard again, and what would that Uchiha brat do when he felt it along his ass again.

Oh, and Kakashi? He was heading for his apartment. He needed to change his underwear.


I have to find somewhere to post the original to this which is much more explicit. If I do, I'll put a link up somewhere and change this message. If you go to my homepage here, you will find out where I am in this story and if you like you can make suggestions on what should happen in the next scene for these two. I have about 10 pages (5,000 words) that might explain Sasuke's actions in this chapter, but it's not ready. I obviously can't update the next chapter as rapidly as I have been doing. Meanwhile, let me thank those who reviewed, those who put alerts on the this story, and those who put alerts on my profile.
