(This was written and BETA-ed before my recent incidents. If you want details, check my A/N on Uchimaki chapter 17)

Hey guys! I know that it's been quite a long time, but I sort of got out of writing because I hit a road block on all of my stories, so I couldn't write. But then, I got pushed by one of my readers to hurry up and get my butt moving on Uchimaki, and once I re-read it, I suddenly felt inspired to write more. The same thing then happened, as I was told to get back to writing this one.

This story is one of my favorites, so I'm glad to be writing on it again. One of my BETA-readers for Uchimaki has also agreed to BETA for this one too, so I'm sure I will be whipped into writing a lot more often.

Enjoy.


11. Going Home

Sasuke silently fumed as he shifted the truck into fifth. The road ahead looked dead and deserted for miles, so the Uchiha didn't see any issue with speeding. Besides, if he got pulled over and got a ticket, Naruto would have to pay it. After all, this was his car and it was his fault that Sasuke was forced to drive.

After Iruka's call, Naruto and Sasuke had been counting down the days until spring break, when they would finally be able to get away from all of the chaos that seemed to spring up around them. Sasuke had been packing little by little throughout the week before, and, as usual, Naruto just threw a bunch of stuff into his duffle bag the morning that they left.

The blonde had also decided that they had to take his truck. The vehicle was Naruto's 'baby', which he had saved up for a year to buy. The thing was Chevy-orange, at least twenty years old, held together with duct tape, and, worst of all, a stick-shift. Sasuke hated the piece of junk with a fiery passion, and didn't understand why Naruto continued to refuse to let him buy him a new one. One day, after the Uchiha torched the truck, that would change.

Sasuke smiled at that thought. Oh, that would be a beautiful day indeed. First, he would take an aluminum baseball bat, or an axe, and smash every surface possible, and then he would take a really big knife to each of the tires and what was left of the interior. Next, he would smash into it with as many other cars as it took to erase that horrible color. Finally, he would douse the truck with gasoline and alcohol and throw a lighted stick of dynamite on it. Once it was blown to dust, Sasuke would return home and fuck Naruto senseless. Yep, that would be the best day ever.

Sasuke chuckled to himself, his mood thoroughly elevated. Even Naruto's loud snores couldn't bring the Uchiha down. Although, it did remind him to speed up a bit more and pray a bit harder for a cop to materialize out of nowhere. Honestly, if the blonde didn't make him so horny, Sasuke never would have put up with this.

Sasuke and Naruto walked towards the parking lot, carrying their bags for their weeklong trip. Sasuke stopped dead in his tracks when Naruto threw his bag into the bed of his truck, and skipped around to the door.

"Oy, Teme, aren't you coming?" Naruto called out as he opened his door.

A vein popped in the raven-haired boy's head. "I am not riding in that." He seethed with every bit of the Uchiha air that he had. "We're taking my car, Dobe."

Naruto's eyes got big. "And leave my precious little baby here all alone for an entire week? What if someone touches it?"

"Maybe if you picked a vehicle that wasn't so hideous-" Sasuke began.

"Shh!" Naruto jumped his partner. "Don't talk bad about my baby; you'll hurt her feelings." He shook his head. "She's beautiful; absolutely perfect. Besides, she was exactly what I could afford."

"Then you should just let me get you a real truck." Sasuke scoffed, and reached into the back to retrieve the blonde's bag.

"Sa-su-ke." Naruto breathed lightly, his eyes half closed and sultry. He slunk closer to the pale youth, who had froze at his name. "You can do so much more with a truck then you can with a car." Naruto wrapped his arms around Sasuke's waist and pulled him close, softly brushing their lips together. "For instance, the bed of a truck can act just like a regular bed." He attached himself to Sasuke's neck and sucked.

A small yelp almost escaped from the pale boy. "F-fine." He tried to regain himself. "We'll take your piece of junk, but that means you have to drive the entire way there, and the entire way back."

"Hai!" Naruto called out happily as he skipped back to the open door, pleased with himself for finally getting his way.

Sasuke, grudgingly, threw his bags in the back, along with Naruto's, and climbed in the passenger side.

-BB-

An hour later, just as Sasuke was about to drift off to sleep, Naruto began to whine. "Sasuke, I'm tired."

"Then you shouldn't have been out drinking with Sai all night last night." Sasuke shot back.

"He forced me to go with him." Naruto fought back. "And it was to celebrate finishing finales."

"Which you probably failed."

"Bastard."

"Idiot."

"Teme."

"Dobe."

"Hmph." Naruto stuck up his nose and decided to remain silent. But, it didn't take long for him to forget the exchange. "Sasuke, I'm really, really, tired." He rested his head on the steering wheel. "I wanna take a nap." His eyes began to close.

"Dammit, Naruto, FINE!" Sasuke yelled, unbuckling his seatbelt before they even came to a stop.

The two got out and switched places, Naruto with a big smile plastered on his face, and Sasuke with a scowl permanently engraved.

"I am not driving back." Sasuke seethed as he pulled back onto the road, but Naruto seemed to have already fallen asleep.

Yeah, Naruto was going to pay once he was awake and they were alone. For now, at Sasuke's current speed, they were only an hour away from home.


Aiko: So, schedules and background will be posted for characters in their own special flashback chapter before they come to interrupt the happy couple. As always, let me know what you think.

Lala: Yay! I love this story and am excited for the new chapters.

Next Chapter: There's no rest for our lovebirds as Yumi proves to be another obstacle for Naruto and Sasuke to overcome, as well as an unexpected guest.
