Thanks for the reviews! They are the reason I write instead of studying for exams. How did I get so productive, really? :D

More of Sasuke and Naruto lovin' in this chapter

Enjoy and review!


Chapter Twelve

Skin to skin, bodies sealed together in a mess of limbs as an unwavering heat enveloped them. Their mouths connected solidly, desperately, tongues sliding and teasing in a dance of sexual frustration and want. He couldn't stop didn't want to stop this ache, this ravenous hunger to be possessed and to possess the man crushed against him. Again and again and again. Until he could no longer stop to breathe.

It had taken less than ten minutes.

Sasuke couldn't even believe he'd lasted that long. The tension felt thick in the car space as Naruto weaved his way through a sea of photographers pressing desperately against the windows looking for that money shot that would get them a couple hundred bucks for their trouble. It was easy to ignore them, like he was in the centre of a hive of bees, smoke swirling around him keeping them calm and a distant problem.

Thank God Naruto had tinted windows. He had no idea that Naruto could be so practical although it was probably through no effort of his own. That was the general consensus of anything the blonde did. He was blessed with the elusive touch of luck that everybody deemed insignificant but guarded jealously. It was no doubt why everything seemed just so perfect for the dobe, psychotic demon possession aside.

His phone rang echoing through the swirling vortex of sexual tension that was starting to become a necessary aspects of his life. He didn't even want to know what it was doing to his blood pressure.

"Sasuke Uchiha" he said surreptitiously glancing at Naruto before he could stop himself. It was a mistake. Their eyes met, flaring heat between them like the spark of a flare before it explodes into existence. He swallowed and somehow managed to drag his eyes away but he knew Naruto could hear his heavy breathing and the telltale thud of his increased heartbeat. Nothing escaped Naruto's attention when it came to himself.

"You have a press conference tonight at 6pm" Itachi's voice muttered in his ear. "As it had suddenly become evident to the attention of the press after your home exploded that your present bodyguard is Naruto Uzumaki"

That couldn't be good. Any press in regards to Naruto was bad press. The way Itachi spoke tugged at Sasuke's memory. Wasn't that why Naruto was on the news so many years ago? For destroying an apartment or some property? It was terrible that he couldn't remember but other people's problems are easily forgotten in the light of one's own. How was he to know that Naruto would soon be the world he revolved around? Did Itachi mean they suspected Naruto was behind the destruction? Foolishness.

"I'll be there" he said keeping the tension out of his voice.

"I think as you well know brother, that I do not kid and was perfectly serious about your debt to me. Don't forget it. And if possible, could you at least try not to start screwing one another against the table at the conference? You certainly don't need that kind of publicity at the present time. The press is already running rampant over this new assasination attempt but are even more so focused on your bodyguard. Uzumaki has the potential to taint our image, it is within your capabilities to prevent that from occuring"

Sasuke grimaced at that. Uzumaki has the potential to taint our image. They would have to peform their roles perfectly tonight. And he needed to stop listening to his libido for five minutes and concentrate. That didn't make Itachi's words any nicer though.

"He may be my bodyguard, Itachi but you saw fit to hire him despite my protests" he added snidely knowing he was being immature. "And if we want to fuck on the table with hundreds of press snapping photos then so be it"

He hung up before Itachi could respond, noting how Naruto's hands tightened convulsively on the wheel at his use of the word fuck. So he was listening then.

"Why exactly are we fucking in front of an audience now?" Naruto asked. "I was never much for sharing"

Sasuke felt himself flush heatedly at his words. He'd forgotten that Naruto could hear every word he was saying. In fact Itachi was most likely baiting him on purpose for that exact reason, the bastard. Why did the dobe have to make him like this? Did he notice the way he confidently spoke about their intimacy was turning him into a mess? As if he didn't notice Naruto hadn't used 'if we fuck', no, the thought that it wasn't a possibility hadn't even made an impression. There was no instance where it wasn't going to happen and the certainty of his words sent shivers across Sasuke's flesh.

"I have to attend a press conference at six tonight and I'm sorry" he found himself apologising. "But they know that you are my bodyguard and you will have to attend also"

Naruto's smirking expression tightened. He resumed a controlled expression. It implied bad experiences. "Will they ask me questions?"

He watched his face closely feeling almost wretched for putting Naruto in the position of public scrutiny when he'd had enough to last him lifetimes. But then he reeled the emotions in reprimanding himself for letting his professionalism slip. It was easier to pull everything back to keep his control.

"I assume they will want to speak to myself directly, your presence will be merely required for illusory purposes only"

Naruto sighed. "Sasuke, it's not a deception if I actually am your bodyguard, which I am. This denial that I am working to protect you is crazy. I mean, do you really still want me fired now when you know that people are seriously trying to kill you?"

Sasuke stubbornly chose silence as his answer. It was a better alternative to 'Yes, I do but only so I can fuck you into the mattress and then spoon you afterwards without worrying that you're trying to control me'. He banished his scandalous thoughts from his mind before he could really consider its heresy.

Naruto abruptly reached out to cup the back of Sasuke's head, fingers sliding tantalizingly into his hair rendering him to stillness in the desperate hope that he would touch more. He seemed to realise what he'd done because he drew his fingers away, clearing his throat apologetically but not before his fingers slid briefly along the skin of his neck, brushing his mark as if by accident as he withdrew.

Sasuke tipped his neck back and moaned with reckless abandon, closing his eyes to properly appreciate the sensation of Naruto's touch. He couldn't get enough of it and it was driving him insane with lust. Naruto's fingers jerked on the wheel in surprise and he suddenly accelerated, driving towards his house with a renewed fervour that didn't have anything to do with homesickness. Sasuke licked his lips watching Naruto as if he were prey, the details of his body swimming before him and forming a picture of something that he desired more than his own life.

Something had changed between them, a barrier had been broken away and Sasuke was suddenly digging his fingers into the skin of his arms to resist reaching for the blonde like he so desperately wanted. It was probably because they'd spooned the night before. It seemed to be bringing out all sorts of unwanted emotions from him. Almost like his emotion filter had been broken and now it was pouring out of him in a deluge of feelings.

Ugh. Feelings, the one things Uchiha's couldn't handle. They were right to ignore it, he thought.

Stoicism served him so much better.

But damn, he wanted to touch. He wanted to feel everything that was Naruto but the dobe was strangely controlled aside from a sudden desperate inclination towards arriving home quicker. And it was his silent ability to resist, to protest the desire niggling at the back of his mind that kept Sasuke from breaching the distance between them. Naruto was tense enough without him climbing into his lap and taking what he wanted.

Mr Uchiha, I'm not sure that's wise… Why the hell wasn't it? Since when was Naruto reluctant to touch him? His display in the lobby proved that he wanted no one else to so why had he protested? And then with the rare display of affection, purposely abusing the sensitive flesh of his mark before drawing away. What game was he playing?

I'm not sure that's wise. Sasuke bit his lip to keep silent. Naruto glanced at him in his peripheral vision and the calculating expression on his face revealed that he was trying to guess his thoughts. Good luck with that.

"Screw Itachi" he said finally. "Just drop me at the nearest hotel and I will stay there"

Naruto's hands tightened reflexively on the wheel. Did he not want Sasuke to leave? Sasuke stared at the corded muscles of his arms tensed and uncovering the expanse of toned flesh. He wanted to slide his tongue across it, to feel those arms tighten around him and never let go. How did he get so irresistible?

A deep ache settled in the pit of his stomach and he tried valiantly to quash it. But Naruto's brief touch had spiked his arousal like nobody else could.

"You'll stay at my house" Naruto said leaving no room for argument. "But you'll- keep your distance for a little while. Uh- so I can get used to your scent"

Confusion resulted from his heavy words. His scent? The dobe wasn't actually being serious.

"I don't understand" he admitted reluctantly. "My scent?"

"Y-yes" Naruto moaned inhaling deeply and causing stirrings of lust in Sasuke from the sound. "It's driving me crazy, Sasuke you smell so good…"

He flushed deeply. It made him unbearably embarrassed that such an admission of fact could make him so unbelievably aroused. A comfortable silence settled between them weighted with the knowledge of their mutual attraction. It was a heady truth and a difficult thing to ignore once discovered between them. They wanted each other and they'd stop at nothing to get it.

It, in Sasuke's case being the pleasure of licking, biting, sucking and tasting every inch of Naruto's tauntingly sun-kissed skin.

He'd have to send Sakura out later to buy him some business suits for work but until then Naruto's clothing would have to suffice. As long as it wasn't orange. Though he doubted sincerely that he would in fact be wearing clothing for much longer.

They made it to Naruto's apartment without jumping each other bones, Sasuke didn't really want to destroy Naruto's car with their sexual activities. But he was shaking when he entered the apartment twitching with anticipation of what was to come. He wanted Naruto so badly.

There was no doubt in his mind that what he wanted would come at a price but for the moment he was more than willing to pay it. With interest. A smirk transformed his mouth momentarily as he walked through the kitchen swaying his hips with the ease of alluring familiarity with what men found irresistible. And Naruto was no different.

Even if his reactions weren't the same.

In those rare moments his libido demanded sweet release Sasuke would hit a nearby club and lure away prospective males like bees to honey, glad to fuck them sweetly and roughly, then be done with it. He wondered if the same would apply for Naruto.

Of course, it didn't.

Naruto seized his hipbones without warning, Sasuke gasping in excitement having not heard his approach and pulled his body flush against him. A possessive arm snaked around his waist, strong hand resting tormentingly across his taut stomach.

He let his head fall back against the blonde giving in with the softest of sounds. They had wanted this for too long...

"You shouldn't have done that" Naruto muttered nibbling delicately below his ear. "I was trying to be good"

"Don't" Sasuke begged astounding himself with the desperate plea that fell forth from his parted lips. He never begged.

"Tell me if I'm too rough, you're still hurt" he growled twisting another hand into his dark hair and yanking his head back to expose his neck. He set his mouth to the mark he'd made so long ago, the same mark which he had been neglecting of late and Sasuke gasped a collection of profanities as the pleasure swept him away.

His legs buckled and he would have collapsed if not for Naruto supporting him with practised ease as if well acquainted with collapsing maiden lovers. He steered them both towards the bed without a second thought but Sasuke barely noticed, eyes closed and moaning with pleasure, crying out for more.

Naruto growled at the sound and nipped at the spot with his teeth. Sasuke shuddered all over and cried out jerking away from the sensation effectively pulling Naruto onto the bed with him as his erection rubbed painfully against the fabric of his jeans.

Tanned hands made quick work of his shirt, still dirty from the explosion and the blonde took the opportunity to locate every bruise, scratch and hurt that had marked his sensitive flesh and kissed it, delicately running his tongue across them all reducing Sasuke into a mess of heady arousal, nearly squirming with need. He pushed at Naruto's chest rolling them over gently only wincing slightly as he jarred himself before he was seated astride the blonde feeling their erections pressed closely together. They were painfully hard.

He jerked his hips experimentally and Naruto gasped looking up at him intently as Sasuke bent forward to press their lips together fingers sliding adeptly across his body until he reached the hem of his shirt. His tongue probed insistently in Naruto's mouth and the blonde met him with equal fervour that made him breathless.

But when he tried to remove Naruto's shirt the blonde's hands stilled his own.

"What?" Sasuke gasped lips covering the exposed flesh of Naruto's collarbone.

Naruto groaned. "If I- lose too much clothing I won't be able to stop" he warned brokenly thrusting his hips eagerly into Sasuke who met them with a sigh of undulating pleasure.

"Just the shirt" he promised. "Then I'll stop"

He didn't seem like he believed him but Naruto permitted him to remove his shirt. What he wasn't prepared for was for Sasuke to ignore his evidently rigid nipples and immediately slide his tongue across his stomach.

Naruto stiffened at the touch groaning when Sasuke's hardness pressed insistently against his own. He watched in detached surprise as the raven was once again able to call the mark of kyuubi out until it was visible in a pattern of swirls across his stomach.

The raven hesitated before his tongue continued licking across what sealed the monster deep within. Naruto felt kyuubi stir at the intimate touch and struggled to keep himself under control but it became much worse when those delicate fingers reached the waistband of his pants.

"Just the shirt" he warned rolling his hips harder to increase the friction between them. Sasuke bit his lip to keep from crying out and Naruto frowned wanting to hear him. He increased the pressure lifting his hand up to prob Sasuke's mark, desperate to hear any sound the raven would make. Sasuke gasped eyes closing with pleasure as Naruto continued to touch him.

His other hand gripped Sasuke's hip bone, sliding against the skin of his back as Sasuke recovered his task and tugged his pants down, exposing him to the cool touch of air, taking Naruto's cock into his hand as he removed his underwear. Naruto groaned throatily, head falling back into the pillows as he thrusted shallowly into his soft and slender grip. He couldn't believe how amazing Sasuke was.

His hand reached for Sasuke's ass, fingers sliding delicately beneath his pants locating skin and lavishing it with soft and sensitive touches exposing his body as he removed them. Sasuke gasped and arched into his thigh, rutting shamelessly to find friction as his increased his own on Naruto cock's. He rolled Sasuke away from him, back onto the bed before climbing back again so he was on top, sliding his cock eagerly against Sasuke's, flesh to flesh.

He was too far gone to realise he was pulling Sasuke pants further down for better access driven solely by his own want as his fingers slipped between the fold of his ass crack probing gently before his thumb pressed against Sasuke's entrance.

The raven moaned brokenly in surprise, rolling his hips wantonly towards the sensation egging Naruto further. He was about to put a finger into his mouth to make them slick and ready to breach him without hurting him when the front door slammed open so violently it hit the wall behind it.

They both froze at the sound and the loud footfalls of several people, practically naked with the compromising situation of their cocks against each other, Naruto's finger's poised at Sasuke's hole.

"Naruto when you're fucking Sasuke don't forget to remove that stick from his ass first!" Jiraiya roared from the living room knowing exactly what they were doing.

Naruto winced watching Sasuke as his expression darkened in humiliation. His sense came flooding back all at once. They were almost about to fuck, and he'd nearly let Naruto inside him. He swore violently and pushed Naruto away from him with such a force that he went flying off the bed. Naruto cried out in surprise but that didn't stop him from landing on his ass. And that's about when the excitement ended.

Sasuke was furious. He couldn't believe that he'd almost let him...

"You were meant to stop!" he snapped hastily scrambling to reattach clothing to himself, its was a pointless endeavour but he needed the welcome distraction. How was he meant to stay here when the situation had escalated to that so very quickly? He could practically hear Itachi laughing at him.

Naruto climbed to his feet looking angry. "And you said you'd only take off my shirt!" he shot back throwing his pants back on.

Sasuke could hear Jiraiya and Kakashi laughing. That was enough. He'd already had a trying day and for them to ruin...

You mean stop you just in time, he reminded himself, well anyway. He had some scores to settle with those two.

He stormed into the living room before Naruto could figure out what he was doing. Jiraiya greeted him with a big shit eating grin and Sasuke promptly slammed his fist into Jiraiya's face before punching him in the gut and sweeping his feet out under him, slamming him into the floor.

"Don't presume for a moment that you know anything about me" he snapped. "And if you ever interrupt me and Naruto again... so help me I will fucking kill you, perv"

Wait, wasn't he meant to be thanking him for the interruption? No, destroying him for the stick in ass comment. He did not have a stick up his ass for christ sakes!

He turned to where Kakashi had been standing only to notice that he was also on the floor and Naruto was sitting on his face. Well, that was team work for you.

Naruto smirked at him.

"If he interrupts us Sasuke?" he wondered smiling at Sasuke's words. He still didn't regret them but Naruto's comment sent a flush of heat slamming into uncomfortable areas again. It was also about then that it became clear there was another assailant with them.

"I'm sorry Naruto. I tried to stop them, but they insisted" the man said, rolling his eyes and nudgin Jiraiya with his boot. He was strangely quiet and so was Kakashi for that matter. Sasuke realised they were both knocked out. Peace at last. So it was that easy then. Sasuke filed that nugget of information away for later.

"It's alright, Iruka" Naruto said, sighing as he rose to his feet.

The man named Iruka smiled at him and extended his hand. "Hello there Sasuke, it's wonderful to meet you"

Dazed he shook the man's hand, briefly responding to the man's smile before realising what he was doing and stopping. Now he was going soft as well? Dear Lord what was wrong with him. Naruto gently dragged him across the fallen bodies of Jiraiya and Kakashi and led him into the kitchen. He put the kettle on and before Sasuke could sit down Naruto dragged him into his own seat, positioning him on his lap.

He tried to keep his poker face about this development but it was difficult with Iruka watching them with such a knowing look.

"Sasuke, this is Iruka, my for all intents and purposes, dad"

Iruka was his dad? Then who the hell were the two idiots passed out on the floor then?

"Oh" he managed. "Then how do you know those two?" he asked indicating at the heaps on the floor which Iruka proded out of the way as he joined them.

"Their sort of my trainers but Iruka's my legal guardian. He sent me to Kakashi when I figured I needed to know how to look after myself and then when I'd progressed enough Kakashi sent me off for a couple of years to train with Jiraiya. They taught me everything I know"

He nodded feeling concern rise in him at Naruto's casual words. When I figured I needed to know how to look after myself. The life of a person possessed would not have been easy. The kettle finished boiling and Iruka started to make coffee.

"I'm sorry to put you out Sasuke" he said. "But I'm here to lecture Naruto so I'm afraid you're just going to have to sit here and listen because he's not letting you out of his sight after what happened this morning"

Sasuke nodded squirming as Naruto's fingers brushed against his hips again. He went to move from the dobe's lap but Naruto wouldn't let him budge. He didn't feel like resorting to violence in front of Naruto's dad so he sat still and listened. What he wasn't expecting was for Iruka to explode. The deep breath Iruka took in preparation should have been the first warning.

"NARUTO UZUMAKI you are in big trouble mister! When you called to tell me about your new job you never said the new high profile protection job was Sasuke Uchiha! And I have to find out from Kakashi that you marked him? My God, son, why didn't you call me? Or at least sent me a text message! And now your getting yourself blown up too! I won't have it! If you don't start filling me in on the important stuff in your life I'm going to ensure that Sasuke doesn't so much as TOUCH YOU FOR THE NEXT YEAR!"

Sasuke flinched as he was brought into the conversation very suddenly. Iruka was threatening Naruto with Sasuke? He couldn't believe such an unassuming man could rant for so long! Naruto didn't move so that meant they were going to be sitting there for a while. No wonder he'd boiled the kettle.

"And Kakashi almost forgot to tell me all this! If he hadn't you could have been DEAD and I wouldn't have known! Now I know I live further away from you and you want to live you own life but dammit Naruto I need to know these things!"

And he continued to rant for a further ten minutes. Sasuke was on to his second cup of coffee by the time he'd finished and permitted Naruto to speak, whom had for all that time not even bothered to try to defend himself. He couldn't believe it, Naruto had been chewed out by himself before but Iruka took it to a whole other plane of existence. Sasuke was impressed.

So were Kakashi and Jiraiya who eventually came to and stood beside Sasuke drinking from their own cups and watching like spectators at a match. It was a very bizarre situation to be in, especially when Naruto kept shooting him heated looks that reminded him of their interrupted relations earlier. It was clear they weren't going to have any time to rekindle said relations either considering Iruka's ranting and the press conference that evening.

Eventually Iruka ran out of steam, but damn if he wasn't going to go all night. Naruto managed to look contrite, or at least in imitation of it. Sasuke smothered a laugh behind his mug.

"I'm sorry dad" Naruto conceeded. "I should have called you. But I had a lot going on lately and I was trying to handle it. Yes I should have told you but there's been too much to deal with a not enough time. I'm really sorry, but I am twenty two and I can take care of myself and Sasuke, so you don't need to worry about me so much."

Sasuke felt that tug on his heartstrings like a bango in a musicians hands. I can take care of myself and Sasuke. There was no hesitation to his words, no disbelief that Sasuke wasn't going to be a part of his life, forever. Is that what being a mate meant? It was a lot to take in. Iruka seemed to find Naruto's apology worthy because he smiled and gave his son a hug.

"Don't feel jealous Sasuke, Naruto can fuck you up against a wall later" Jiraiya added helpfully, easily ruining the moment.

"Well we would if you didn't keep interrupting" he snapped cracking his knuckles threateningly. Naruto grinned at him and Jiraiya laughed.

Iruka pulled away from Naruto who rolled his eyes but the man's look was chilling.

"Jiraiya, don't make me start on your lechery"

Jiraiya stiffened like Iruka had threatened to chop off his balls and Sasuke tried not to smile.

"Alright," the man continued as if he hadn't frightened everyone in the room. "Who wants lunch?"


"Threats have been made" Sasuke admitted. "But so far attempts on my life have been unsuccessful, obviously"

The press tittered, finding his cool indifference amusing and charming like they usually did. Sakura had managed a miracle prepping him only hours before so that he no longer appeared like a car crash victim, or world war three survivor. Even Naruto was dressed nicely. He smiled briefly knowing that Itachi was rolling his eyes beside him without having to see it. Shikamaru sat on his left and he could feel Naruto's presence only feet away watching and alert.

It was impossible to pretend that he wasn't there but he was trying.

"I have a question for Mr Uzumaki" a woman called out asserting her voice across the distorted conversation. Silence followed and Sasuke schooled his features into something reasonably polite knowing they wouldn't take kindly to him reaming the girl until she was curled into a ball rocking quitely in the corner no longer knowing her own name. He smiled.

"I'm afraid Mr Uzumaki's not taking questions at the present time but I am capable of answering in his stead"

The woman recovered quickly that was for sure.

"Can you elaborate specifically on the qualifications that make someone of his... nature, suitable for the job?"

It was an insult wrapped in an inquisitive box of prejudice and misunderstanding with plain disrespect as the pretty bow. Sasuke would not tolerate that kind of behaviour. Especially not if it was directed at Naruto.

"Naruto Uzumaki, is wholly qualified for this position having frequently saved my life during the past week. He is more than adequate and a highly competent individual deserving of his employment at Uchiha Industries" He paused knowing that he shouldn't but he couldn't quite resist. "And as to his nature I'd have to say he has much better manners than yourself. Don't presume to think it went unnoticed that you knocked that elderly man over in our lobby in your haste to arrive here and interrogate me. And I'll have you know that unlike yourself, Mr Uzumaki actually stopped to assist him instead of pretending not to notice"

The woman went faintly pink and didn't say another word. Shikamaru snickered beside him and didn't bother to disguise the sound. Sasuke tried not to look too smug about it. The press somehow managed to appear reproving, the hypocrites.

"To the elder Mr Uchiha, How will these attacks affect share holders? Is there a cause for concern in the company?" a pudgy man leaned forward, capturing their attention with his question.

Sasuke's gaze roamed the crowd with a sense of detached interest. In the end they'd only permitted fifty into their conference hall, after the stampede in the lobby. The elderly man was fine, though he did whack Naruto over the head for taking so long. This hadn't been much cause for alarm in the blonde so Sasuke merely assumed that it was a frequent occurance. Their security was stationed at the back of the room Shikamaru had planned out their positions in case of emergency and his logic was flawless. It was because of that that he made no comment on the clearly visible hickey on Shikamaru's neck. It looked quite fresh.

"Physical injuries to our employees though unacceptable will not remotely cripple the company in any way. There is little cause for concern. We are working closely with the police department to deter further violence"

Sasuke tried not to scoff openely. Sure they were which was why he hadn't seen the freaky Guy since he'd been forcibly removed from the coat closet in the lobby by Uchiha security that morning.

"Mr Uchiha would you speculate that these attacks could be linked to the status of your sexual orientation?"

Sasuke stilled completley blown away by the nerve of the question. He could practically feel Naruto shifting his weight from foot to foot, flighty and prepared to depart.

"My sexual orientation" he repeated blankly. In what kind of fucked up world was that logically linked to these attacks? The group broke out into smaller conversations, scandalised by the question. The man who'd so blatantly stipulated that his homosexuality was the direct cause of his problems had vanished. Though to be fair it did seem to be one of the man reasons he was losing his sanity. Or would that be Naruto's fault? Sasuke recovered quickly, smoothly establishing order again.

"My homosexuality has nothing to do with my work" he stated feverently glad that from the beginning he'd had all cards on the table. Some magazines Sakura told him said it was because he was so upfront with it was the true key to his success as a business man. It was quite flatterly, however misguided.

"I strictly compartmentalise my professional career with my personal life" he continued only feeling a mild twinge in his gut about how very untrue that was becoming. "To suggest this is the reason behind the attempts on my life evolves into a much broader concern for the public in regards to violence against homosexuality. I believe these attacks are weak efforts to make Uchiha Industries vulnerable by removing my presence from the equation"

"In regards to your personal life, are you currently in a serious relationship?" another asked and Sasuke nearly cursed himself for drawing the conversation past enemy lines into unprofessionalism. He shouldn't have mentioned his personal life, at all. Textbook error.

"That is, in fact private information that I do not intend to divulge I'm afraid" he replied tersely glancing at Itachi seeing his amused expression. He had to physically stop himself from turning to look at Naruto. It was difficult when he wanted to see his reaction. But he was certain that would be a dead give away.

They had reached the hour mark. And Sasuke was thankful that nothing too detrimental had occured. He had handly the situation well, even the particularily prying questions. And certainly no one suspected his relationship with Naruto even if he'd gone out of his way to defend him in the public eye.

"The hour is up" Itachi intoned, music to Sasuke's ears. "We thank you for your questions, and your concern. Have an enjoyable evening"

"Wait" a voice boomed, exploding through the crowd as they began to rise from the chairs in a flurry of movement. Sasuke felt his heart sink into his stomach. He spotted the green. And groaned.

"I have a question" Constable Guy roared cheerfully. "In fact I have several"

Sasuke got up to run. Naruto was at his arm instantly preventing him from moving anywhere. Sasuke scowled and figured maybe Iruka's threat wasn't such a bad idea after all. Naruto carefully slid a finger across exposed skin casually almost like the intimate touch was an accident but it left Sasuke quite uncomfortable in his nether regions and feeling extremely heated.

"Mr Uchiha will be with you shortly to answer your questions Constable" Naruto said moving to pull out Sasuke's chair and brushing a hand across his ass. Sasuke kept silent but he couldn't stop himself flinching. His pants got tighter, dammit. What the hell was Naruto doing to him? How wildly inappropriate! And now he had to talk to the unhinged pyschopath! Maybe he could frighten him into somebody else's closet so he would leave him alone once and for all.

He sighed bracing himself for a few uncomfortable minutes.


Uncomfortable was the watchword. He could not describe the utterly ridiculous line of questioning Guy subjected him to until he was satisfied. And Naruto was uncomfortably close, taking reckless liberties now they were in a private conferencing room and he was finding it a testament to his will that he was able to concentrate at all.

Thankfully only Guy had irritated them with his presence and his team were all off duty, Sasuke had spotted Temari in the crowd dragging Shikamaru away before Naruto had dragged him away sending him to his doom.

It was painful but he was glad to get it out of the way, despite the torture. Guy wanted to keep ranting after they were finished but thankfully Naruto saw sense and declined, promising they would all catch up soon. Sure they would, just not in Sasuke's lifetime.

They left after that, Naruto leading the way and keeping his distance now, leaving Sasuke feeling cheated, especially when he was painfully hard and it was no simple thing to conceal in a suit. They climbed gracefully into the limo and they were driven back to Naruto's car which he'd parked at a busy thoroughfare.

When the driver tipped his hat, and drove away with a speculative look on his face Sasuke was able to appreciate Naruto's tactics. The less people who knew where Sasuke was staying the better. It was late and bitterly cold and Sasuke wrapped his arms around himself tapping his foot impatiently as Naruto performed a casual bomb sweep of his car feigning dropping his keys and scrambling almost underneath his car to retrieve them.

Normally Sasuke would have complained but this position happened to leave him with the perfect view of Naruto's wonderful ass hovering in the air as he searched on his knees. He was enjoying himself immensely. It was over too quickly and Naruto opened his door politely pretending to assist him into the car with his feather light touches and a sultry grip that should have been illegal.

When Sasuke was seated he was breathing fast trying to resist the urge to shift the position of his legs to keep his erection covered. They spoke of inane things on the way back, the rude woman, the old man, Naruto as a magnet of elderly people abuse. He was quite content to talk to the dobe about anything and everything.

"When did you come out?" Naruto asked him curiously changing the topic abruptly to grill him.

"I knew I liked men when I was thirteen but I acknowledged it in my career when I was given an important position at Uchiha Industries. Itachi and I discussed it and believed it would be prudent to specify from the beginning"

"Hmm, pretty smart of you" he agreed shooting him a come hither smirk that Sasuke couldn't resist. "Less scandal"

His breath caught in his throat. "Hn" he managed.

Naruto laughed at his expression as he pulled into the driveway of his building that led to the underground parking lot. Naruto had his own space. Sasuke was out of the car before Naruto had switched off the engine but he waited for the dobe to get out and lock the door. It was stiffling in that car when everything Naruto did could be fantasised over.

"I'm not sure if we'll have the entire zoo in my apartment but I'd suspect the worse. Oh and Sakura said she had some of your new suits sent over but you can still borrow my clothes if you need to"

"Thanks" he said and meaning it.

Before he knew what he was doing he was leaning into Naruto and wrapping his arms around him. He pulled away quickly realising his mistake, he was still quite hard, and Naruto was not meant to be making him feel this way. And there was no way in hell that he was going to be one of those freaks on the side of the road waving around signs that said free hugs.

"I need a shower" he said stiffly walking towards the stairs, leaving Naruto behind.

The door was unlocked and Jiraiya was sprawled across what used to be a couch. Kakashi wasn't there, Iruka might have scared him away.

"Back again for more?" Jiraiya purred raising his eyebrows significantly. "Naruto's a lucky man"

"Fuck off" he spat hating that Jiraiya's teasing made him so angry. The old man laughed and shut his eyes attempting to sleep on the ruined couch.

Sasuke walked into Naruto's room removing his jacket and folding it across the bed feeling the odd sensation of putting his items in other peoples spaces. It didn't look out of place but it still sent a thrill through him.

He loosened his tie and moved into the bathroom quickly stripping his clothes from his body and stepping into the shower. He briefly wrapped his hand around himself body seizing up at the sensation as his erection was enveloped by the warmth of his hand. He pumped himself a few times before he surrendered himself to the spray of water.

He closed his eyes and tried not to think about Naruto. May as well have been a lost cause from the beginning.

He was so lost in that that he didn't even hear the bathroom door open but he did feel the rush of fresh air as someone stepped into the shower with him. He opened his eyes as Naruto practically dived into him.

"I'm sorry" he moaned. "I need to-"

His mouth came down on Sasuke's mark before he could protest whilst taking his erection into hand. Sasuke gasped in relief sliding himself further into Naruto, gravitating towards him.

"What took you so long dobe" he snapped moaning when he felt Naruto's tongue against his skin.

"Dammit" Naruto gasped. "I could smell you since the conference, driving me mad"

He pulled their bodies flush together and Sasuke was too dazed to be concerned by their nakedness. He would have done anything Naruto asked of him in that moment. Sasuke seized Naruto's ass dragging their hips together, wanting him so much closer.

"Kyuubi wants-" Naruto tried to talk, stroking Sasuke swiftly, building pleasure within him. "I can't-"

"Naruto, Naruto" Sasuke could hear himself shamelessly moaning the blondes name. He was past the point of dignity or caring.

"This-" Naruto began distracting himself in the taste of his flesh. "This" he tried again. "Is going to hurt"

Sasuke felt Naruto's suddenly elongated teeth sink into the mark. He howled feeling the flash of pain explode into the pleasure. He came, bonelessly, ravagingly to the feel of Naruto's hand on him and his tongue against the fresh bite.

And then he knew no more.
