There's something off about Naruto's pulse, the way the beats aren't ever steady, and how it throbs and races at the smallest things.
Sasuke doesn't even have to try anymore to quicken the blood pumping through Naruto's heart. A flicker of fingernails against an open shirt collar. A slight shifting of the thighs. An arching of the back. Sasuke could rub his thumb in slow circles on the soft skin of Naruto's inner wrist and immediately elicit an alarming jump in the vein at Naruto's throat.
It's dangerous, in some ways. Sasuke knows that normal humans can't survive with a heart rate that quick. But he can't deny how powerful it makes him feel, to scrape his fingers across Naruto's back and get the same effect as if he'd just sucked him off. And Naruto always looks so healthy anyway...
Some nights Sasuke lies with his head on Naruto's chest, counting the dull swift thuds that reverberate in his ear like drumming.
He doesn't tell Naruto that those are the nights he doesn't sleep at all.
