"Let's date then" Sasuke heard someone say.

"What?" Naruto almost yelled and starred at him with open mouth. Sasuke guessed it must have been himself that had suggested that since there was no one else in the bathroom. He tried to gather his thoughts.

"I like you, you interest me and I'm pretty sure you like me" Sasuke shrugged. Naruto still couldn't believe what was happening. Sasuke mentally patted himself on the back. He had to pretend to date him for a while, but Naruto seemed like the more innocent type, so he would probably never allow them to have sex unless they were boyfriends anyway. "So what do you think?"

Chapter 14

Naruto began to laugh nervously while slowly backing away from Sasuke. Sasuke frowned, not sure what was happening. Sasuke stepped closer to Naruto, but quickly moved back again as the laugh rose and sounded more and more insane. Sasuke had been sure that as soon as he asked Naruto to be his boyfriend, he would throw his arms around Sasuke's neck and be thankful. This, whatever it was, was not how he had imagined it to happen. Naruto kept backing away and soon he was out of the bathroom and had left Sasuke standing there, utterly confused.

Hadn't this been what Naruto had wanted? He was sure Naruto wanted him, they had been making out and Naruto had seemed pretty into it. But... maybe it was just because of the alcohol? Sasuke shook his head, that couldn't be. He knew he looked good, no not just good, he looked amazing and people always wanted his body. People had always desired him, even when he was little. Sasuke had been introduced to sex early because of this, since people always tried to come on to him. It also couldn't be because he wasn't a good kisser, he was always complimented on how good he was at pleasuring his partner, whenever he decided to do something for them and not only get pleasure himself.

He went back out to the dance floor but couldn't find Naruto. He searched the rest of the club before he went out to the wardrobe.

"Have you seen a boy with really blond hair and blue eyes, about this height?" Sasuke levelled out his hand to give the man an idea of Naruto's height.

"Yeah, he came to get his things a little while ago."

Sasuke nodded and asked to get his own jacket.

"Did he get some bad drugs or something?" The man asked suspiciously.

"No, why?"

"He just seemed... Out of it, weird."

"Oh." Sasuke wasn't sure what he should do now, but his growing lust was definitely gone now. He didn't even want to stay and find someone else anymore, it was just so weird. Sasuke began his long walk home in the cold when he suddenly remembered Naruto's warm hands on his cheeks; Naruto had kissed him. When they had met outside the club, it was Naruto who had leaned in and kissed him. Sasuke was sure he wasn't drunk at that time, even though he did seem a bit confused about it all. Maybe Naruto just wasn't used to being with guys, maybe it was his first time when they met before and Naruto still had some problems in dealing with the fact that he liked guys. Sasuke smiled and felt relaxed, he had finally found a reasonable excuse for Naruto's weird behaviour. He had turned straight men gay before and it seemed like Naruto wouldn't be so hard to turn completely. He just had to push him a little more and then he would have him.

Where are you?

Just as he pushed send, he remembered that Naruto had forgotten his phone at home. A small nagging feeling welled up in him, but Sasuke tried to ignore it. He wasn't worried, he just wasn't that kind of person. Naruto was old enough to find his way home, even though he might be a bit intoxicated. Sasuke remembered how Naruto had trouble even sitting still on his chair, and how he had stumbled towards the dance floor, maybe he was more than a bit intoxicated. Sasuke groaned, it was stupid of him to get him so wasted and now he had no idea if he got home alright or if he was lying somewhere in a ditch. He could look for him. Sasuke sighed deeply, what had happened to him? Was he seriously thinking about running around in the cold all night looking for that idiot? He didn't even knew in which direction he lived. He pushed his hands deeper into his pockets and pulled his shoulders up to protect himself against the harsh wind.

Naruto ran as fast as his legs could go without making him fall. His head was one big mess, nothing made sense anymore. Sasuke wanted to be his boyfriend? How could that be? Did Sasuke really like him? Was he just drunk? And what should he answer? He did like Sasuke, but he couldn't say yes before he told him he was transgender? Or maybe he could just... No, that wouldn't be fair to Sasuke. Naruto opened the door to his apartment and threw his clothes in the hall and curled up under his covers. He just wanted to stay in bed forever, how could he talk to Sasuke after this? The sound of something buzzing made him look around until he realized it was his phone. There were two messages from Sasuke.

Where are you?

Have you gotten home alright?

What should he do? He decided to call Kiba and hopefully he would know what to do.

"Hey man, a bit late to call, don't you think?" Kiba yawned.

"Maybe…"

"Woah, are you drunk?"

"Maybeee" Naruto laughed.

"Okay, so what's the problem, because I hope for your sake there is a reason why you called this late." Kiba said irritated.

"Sas'ke kissed me 'n wants t'be my boyfriend."

"Uhm... It sounded like you said Sasuke wanted to be your boyfriend, but it's difficult to understand you when your slurring this much?"

Naruto nodded energetically on the other end.

"Hello, you there?"

"Oh, yeah" Naruto's brain seemed to be working a bit slow, something he blamed on the alcohol.

"How in the world did that happen?" Kiba asked disbelieving. He had known the other guy seemed interested in Naruto, but he didn't think he would move this fast.

"We just did and then I left."

Kiba face-palmed himself "Please don't tell me you just laughed or something and then ran?"

"Yup."

Kiba sighed "I know that must have been weird, but Naruto you need to think about how Sasuke must have felt. You can't just laugh at him and then leave. If he really liked you, I'm sure that would have hurt a lot."

"I know, but I can't help it!" Naruto had always had a weird habit of beginning to laugh if he didn't know which reaction he should have. So whenever he got surprised by something or was in an uncomfortable situation he began laughing. It had become sort of a defence-mechanism.

"So, do you wanna be his boyfriend?"

"You know I can't just say yes to him!"

"I didn't ask that" Kiba said seriously.

Naruto lied down on his bed and closed his eyes. It still felt like the room was spinning and he could feel a headache was on its way "I don't know" He eventually said with a sigh.

"Do you like him?" Kiba tried again, this was really too early in the morning for this kind of conversation.

"Maybe. I don't know. I might. I think so."

"Decide already" Kiba said with a laugh.

"He looks good... And even though he is a complete bastard, I still find him interesting and want to know even more. And... I kind of got jealous earlier tonight. There was this guy hanging all over him and I don't like that, I want him for myself."

"It does sound like you are infatuated with him."

"Infatuated?"

"Yeah, you haven't developed strong feelings for him, but it's the step before love. So you could try it out, you know. You don't have to be boyfriends, but you could go out on real dates and have fun before you decide."

Naruto actually liked that idea, but at the same time he felt dreadful about it. He had to tell Sasuke about his body before then. He couldn't keep going like this.

"Is that all? I really wanna go back to bed now."

"Oh, yeah, sorry. Good night."

"Good night, and remember to talk to him. Right now, Naruto, you can't just leave him like that." Naruto nodded and hung up.

Sorry about before.. I'm home now.

It didn't take long before Naruto got a reply.

Where do you live?

Why would Sasuke want to know that? Naruto suddenly felt suspicious and didn't really want to tell him. What if Sasuke reacted badly to the news and he would come beat him up or something.

Why?

I don't need the precise address. Naruto told him the general direction and some of the buildings in the area that were well-known.

Can I come up? I'm in the area and I'm completely drenched?

What should he do? He couldn't just let him stay out there and freeze, but he also had to think about his own future safety.
