So, I decided to continue the story. Oh, who am I kidding? Of course I'd continue the story! I can't just leave it off there. I hope you continue to read Cruel Love!

I do not own Naruto nor its characters! I don't make any money off of this!

Chapter 14:

Over the next few days, Naruto got use to walking. His eyes were healing, but slowly Tsunade told him he should get his sight back in another week. Sakura was against it, but Naruto moved in with Sasuke. However, she forced him to take a key to her place just in case. Lee was given the offer to move in with Sakura and gladly took it. Things were going great for the two couples. They tended to go on dates together. Since Naruto couldn't see, they were limited with what they did. Mostly, they'd just talk at a cafe or go for a walk. Sasuke let out his caring side.

Everything was ok, until Sasuke wanted to sleep with Naruto. They hadn't had sex the entire month they had been together, and Sasuke was getting impatient. After a date at the arcade, with Sasuke winning a giant fox plush for Naruto, the two headed back home. Sasuke made a quick dinner and the two even had some wine. Getting horny, Sasuke and Naruto began to make-out. Kissing happened often between them. They ended up on the couch, Sasuke putting in a movie. It was a movie Naruto had seen several times, so he knew exactly what was happening even though he couldn't see it. Another make-out session soon started.

Sasuke released Naruto's lips and began to suck on Naruto's neck. While kissing Naruto's neck, Sasuke moved a hand up Naruto's shirt. When Naruto felt fingers brush a nipple, he grabbed Sasuke and gave him a gentle push. Sasuke raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"Not yet," Naruto said. "I'm not ready."

Sasuke frowned then sighed. "I understand." He stood up. "I'll clean up."

Naruto bit his lip. He knew Sasuke was annoyed, but he didn't want to have sex with Sasuke, yet. He wanted them to have a normal relationship. It was better if they had just started over. Sure they had sex in the past, but right now, it would ruin everything. It was still hard for Naruto to fully trust Sasuke.

Sasuke was angry. Naruto had stopped him again. Sasuke knew it was because Naruto didn't trust him. He hated himself for what he had done. He promised to hold back until Naruto trusted him again, but it was hard. He wanted Naruto. Sasuke wanted to show him how much he loved him.

Sakura caught on to the heavy atmosphere easily. She could tell that Sasuke and Naruto were mad not only at each other, but themselves as well. She sighed and took a hold of Naruto's hand. "I have to talk to you." She pulled the blond away from the two dark-haired men. When they were out of hearing distance, she released Naruto's hand. "What's wrong? And before you tell me it's nothing, I know it's something."

Naruto sighed. "Sasuke tried to start something last night, again."

"And you stopped him?" Sakura asked. Naruto nodded. "So? He should understand."

"He says he does," Naruto said. "But I'm afraid. I love him and I don't want to push him away. May be I should just let him..."

"No!" Sakura said. "You are better than that! He deserves to suffer for what he's done." She paused. "Don't worry. Take your time with things. When you are ready, then you can move forward."

"How do I know I'll be ready?" Naruto asked. "How long do I have to make him wait?"

"As long as you need," Sakura said. "And you will know."

"But what should I do?" Naruto asked.

An evil look appeared in Sakura's eyes and Naruto felt the shift in Sakura's aura. "Torture him."

"T-torture him?" Naruto was confused.

"Yup!" Sakura smiled. "Make him squirm! Tease him 'til he gets hot and bothered the leave him hanging. You need to prove that he loves you right?" Naruto nodded. "Then I've got some good ideas." Sakura pulled Naruto further away from their dated.

Naruto blushed as Sakura kept whispering into his ear. Then his jaw dropped. Those ideas were good and a perfect way for Naruto to get his revenge. He grinned. "I like your style, Sakura-chan!"

"Ready to put the plan into action?" Sakura asked.

"Of course," Naruto answered. "I was born ready."

Naruto and Sakura returned to their boyfriends' sides. Sasuke saw the looks on Naruto and Sakura's faces and flinched. He had a bad feeling that something was gonna happen. Lee was oblivious as usual.
