Good morning! (:
Naruto and Sasuke had been texting regularly since their date 4 days before. They had not set another meeting yet, but Naruto was determined to rectify this today. He quickly followed his first text with another, no matter what Sakura would say about the horror of double texting.
Wanna meet 4 lunch?
Naruto couldn't help but smile knowing that Sasuke was going to reproach him his awful spelling. He had never met someone so finical on spelling mistakes, even his professors when he was still at university had used a lot of abbreviations and shortcuts in their communications with him.
He does not wait for an answer before getting out of his bed to get ready. Sasuke does not seem to have a fixed schedule in the morning so he could receive an answer in the next seconds or two hours from now. Anyway he was in no rush, it was barely 7 and he had to work the morning at the prison anyway. If Sasuke said yes, he would ask if he mind meeting him to a restaurant about half way from here and the prison - it would be about a 20 minutes ride for both of them and Naruto only has an hour and a half break, he would not have time to head back to Kingston.
Sasuke answered his text just before he was about to turn his phone off to enter the prison. He made a sign to Gaara to wait a minute.
Of course, do you want me to meet you somewhere? I am picking up a rental car this morning.
Gr8t! I'll txt u the address. 13h?
Perfect.
Naruto quickly googled the exact address of the restaurant he had in head before pasting it in his conversation with Sasuke. He turned off his phone after that and walked to Gaara. The man was waiting for him next to the door that lead to the employees barrack.
"Having a chat with lover boy?" Gaara asked teasingly.
"How do you know?"
"Naruto, you'll have to wipe that huge smile of your face if you don't want to look like you belong with the crazy in there."
Naruto frowned. "You could be a little more respectful."
"You're never going to convince me that anyone in there deserves respect, Naruto. We've established that long ago."
"Gaara…" Naruto said looking at the other one sadly.
The redhead rolled his eyes. "Don't give me those eyes. I'm just here to let you in, one of my guy is waiting for you in the usual room. He has order to stay with you. Inside."
"Huh? Why? You know I need to be alone when I meet Dei'."
"I can't believe you have a nickname for that man. You're not meeting him, though. He got in a fight and he is in isolation. Ibushi - the man waiting for you - will give you the new file when you get to him."
Naruto frowned, a little worried. He had not met with Deidara last Saturday for the same reason. What the hell was happening with the other man? He used to be a pretty calm inmate before. Nonetheless, he made his way to the room where his new patient was waiting.
The man waiting for him there was tall, easily half a foot higher than him, and Naruto was definitely not small. However, he seemed to shrink a little when he welcomed Naruto, seemingly intimidated by him. That was weird, the blonde was pretty sure that he did not have the reputation of a bully in this jail, the only time he had lost his patience with a correctional officer was that one time when the guy insisted to stay in the room with him and Deidara.
Naruto smiled brightly to the man, trying to relieve the tension, and extended a hand to shake with the man's and introduce himself. The C.O., however, did not took his hand, he only gave him the patient's file without saying a word to him.
Not a talkative one, Naruto thought, looking at the paper he now had in hands. He briefly skimmed over them before asking for the door to be opened.
Upon entering, followed by the tall silhouette of Ibushi, his gaze immediately fell to the man sitting at the table, his wrist cuffed on the thick ring of metal weld on top of it. The man had grey hair and distinctive purple eyes. Naruto did a double take, what the hell? Inmate were definitely not allowed to wear contact in here. That was definitely a weird sight to fall upon. He was going to ignore it to the best of his capacity.
It turned out that ignoring the physical characteristics of the other man was pretty easy, especially when the other man started spouting insult at them in French. Naruto blinked a couple times, remembering when Deidara had told him about his new cellmate, he could put a name and a face to the man now.
Naruto went to sit in front of him, trying to keep his face as neutral as possible. He waited for a break in Hidan' speech - the man needed to breath after all - before interrupting him.
"Hello, Hidan. My name is Naruto, I am a psychologist and I'm here to speak with you."
Hidan laughed. "T'es un fucking imbécile si tu penses que je vais daigner te parler! Seulement Dieu est digne de moi.*"
It took everything for Naruto to keep his exasperation internal. He didn't understand most of the things the other man had said, but he could guess that it was far from nice. "Hidan, I just -"
"Ta gueule! Ta gueule!**" Hidan screamed at him, banging both fists on the table, before starting with another row of insults.
"Doctor?" The man, Ibushi, had gotten closer to him to stand right behind his chair and was now trying to whisper in his ear. Naruto ignored him his eyes still fixed on the screaming man before him. "Dr. Uzumaki," He started more forcefully, "I think maybe we should adjourn and return him to his cell."
Naruto looked back at him briefly before addressing him. "If you can't take it, send me someone who isn't scared to replace you and don't interrupt us again."
Surprisingly this had the effect to stop Hidan's monologue. He laughed sardonically at Ibushi. "Know your fucking place, insect."
He saw the other man take a step toward Hidan. He stood up and put his hand on his bicep to stop his motion. "Don't. Just go wait by the door." He told him before sitting back down.
Hidan snorted. "I still ain't speaking shit to you about my past."
Naruto already felt triumphant at simply being addressed in a language that he understood. He crossed his legs, trying to distract Hidan with a larger movement while his right hand went to the inside of his jacket pocket to turn on the voice recorder he kept there. He often took notes manually but he was pretty sure that the other man would be insulted with that. He would have to transcribed the audio at work Monday.
"We don't have to talk about that. You mentioned God, Dieu, tell me about him."
Hidan smirked. "I'm his right hand man, the best he ever had."
"What makes you so good?"
"I do what he wants, that's my job."
"He asks you for favors?"
Hidan lean a little toward him and whispered. "He doesn't have to, that's why I'm so good. I just know what he needs, je le sens.***"
Naruto lean toward him too, showing him that he had his entire attention. "This must be an honour indeed. He does not even have to communicate with you through speech or vision." He made it as a statement but it was more of a question, wanting to be perfectly certain that the other man was not suffering from auditory or visual hallucinations.
"Exactly! We have an exceptional relationship. That's because I'm fucking awesome, you know? He chose me, not any other stupid human. Not even you!"
Yeah, lucky me, Naruto thought. It did not take much after that to have Hidan start talking about his duty to god and all the things he had done in order to keep the man, the divinity, happy. When it was time for Hidan to go back to his cell, he even told Naruto that he wasn't 'too bad for a miserable pest'.
"What a crazy psychopath." Ibushi murmured. Luckily for him, Naruto was the only one to hear him since Hidan was back at insulting the new men entering the room.
"You should have your name removed from psychological duty, before I have it removed myself." Naruto said angrily to Ibushi, after the two C.O. that had come fetch Hidan had gone, leaving them both alone in the room, waiting for the next inmate. Alright, maybe Naruto could be a bitch sometimes.
Naruto entered the restaurant in a hurry, he was already 15 minutes late to his date with Sasuke. His patient after Hidan had took a bit longer than he had planned. He hadn't seen the man, Nagato, for a month because he had try to end his life and had ended up at the infirmary for 3 weeks to heal his wounds. Naruto had wanted to go see him, he was his patient after all, but they had kept him in an artificial coma since the other man would try to hurt himself each time he woke up. They had finally woke him up the day before and Naruto had finally been allowed to see him. Visits with Nagato were always hard on him, the man was just so miserable and sad, not at all like the other patients he had at the prison who most often reeked of anger.
Once inside, he looked around quickly, searching for a dark mop of hair. A smile broke on his face when he noticed the man sitting a couple feet away from the entrance, slowly flipping through the menu.
"Sorry, I'm late." Naruto said as he made his way to Sasuke. He stopped in front of the other man and quickly bent to give a soft peck on Sasuke's lips, freezing afterward in surprise. "Was that alright?" He asked uncertain.
Sasuke blushed, a little surprise but nonetheless pleased. "More than."
Now that he knew that it was fine, Naruto bent once again to press his lips to Sasuke's letting the contact last a little longer than before. He could feel Sasuke's lips stretch in a small smile as he slowly retreat, finally going to sit in the free chair right in front of him.
"How pathetic do I sound if I say that I missed you?" Naruto asked.
"As pathetic as I do when I answered that I did too."
Naruto laughed softly, extending his hand to touch one of Sasuke's. "I'm glad the feeling is mutual." He said, squeezing Sasuke's fingers lightly.
"So, what's good around here?"
Naruto gave him an excited look, happy to answer. "Ah! You're asking the good question. They have amazing ramen!"
"Why do I have the feeling that you come here pretty often?" Sasuke asked teasingly.
"Not that oft-"
"Hey, Naruto!" A waitress on her way to the kitchen exclaimed when she noticed them. She diverged path to come to their table. "You guys ready to order? I know you're usually on a tight schedule to go back to work."
Naruto blushed and looked at Sasuke who was smiling with satisfaction. "He'll take the same as usual, twice."
"Alrighty! I'll tell dad it's for you, should be about 10 minutes." She winked at him, before turning to leave for the kitchen.
"Thanks, Ayame!" Naruto said, having seemingly recover his voice.
"I've been coming here since I was 5. Every year on my birthday, my parents would bring me here." He passed his finger slowly through his bright blond hair, resting his hand at the back a little. "I still come with my dad and my brother every year, but they don't know that I come here pretty much every week."
Sasuke felt like getting up and hugging him. The man seemed a little uncomfortable with what he had just share. "It is a nice place. I'm glad to be here with you." He turned the hand that was still under one of Naruto's and twisted it so that he could interlace their fingers together. Naruto smiled warmly at him and Sasuke felt his heart melt just a little more.
They looked at each other silently until their food came and then ate in the same comfortable silence, only broken by the slurping sounds that Naruto was not always able to control.
When they were both done and the waitress, Ayame, had bring them their receipt, Sasuke noticed that Naruto was looking at his watch with a slight pout. "How long do you have left."
"35 minutes."
"Hn. I'll go pay and then we can head outside."
Naruto stood up. "It's my turn to pay. You paid that first time." He said, referring to the time they had lunch for Sasuke's book.
"So that was a date, then?" Sasuke asked teasingly, before handing the receipt to Naruto.
"Of course it was!"
They both made their way to the counter. "According to my friend, you're suppose to tell me if you're a serial killer by the fifth date."
Naruto cackled. "I swear I'm not."
"It doesn't count if it's not the fifth date." Sasuke grinned
After paying, and leaving a generous tip, they ended up in front of Sasuke's car. "This is pretty fancy for a rental." Naruto whistled.
"Are you going to give me a tour?" The blonde asked with a suggestive smirk.
Sasuke smirked and came close to Naruto, his side brushing against him as he opened the back door. "Please make yourself at home."
Naruto giddily climbed on the backseat of the Jaguar E-Pace. He slid to the other side of the bench, removed his shoes and patted the black leather while looking suggestively at Sasuke.
The second Sasuke closed the door behind him, they were on each other. Their lips clashed sharply and Naruto's arms drifted to Sasuke's waist to bring them even closer before grabbing onto the collar of his shirt with both hands.
Warmth radiated from where their chest were touching and Naruto moaned softly as Sasuke sucked gently on his lower lips. He opened his mouth to deepen the kiss when he felt the other man's tongue against his lips. It was hot, wet, and sloppy but god did Naruto loved it.
The feeling of the tongue slowly dancing against his made him feel like he was about to explode, he wanted so much more. When Sasuke grabbed his hair and pulled a little, separating their mouth for a brief instant he couldn't contain his groan. "Sas'ke…"
The sounds of his name on Naruto's lips rendered Sasuke all hot, even hotter than he already was. Still holding the other man's hair tightly, he leaned closer to kiss his neck, feeling the fast heartbeat against his lips he started sucking delicately, hearing Naruto gasping harshly against his ear. The feeling of Naruto's throat vibrating slightly against his lips each time the other man moaned was going to make him lose control. He had to stop himself from biting at the neck under his mouth as Naruto dragged him back to his face to kiss him some more.
They finally broke the kiss, feeling the other's breath against their face as they breathed labouringly. "When am I gonna see you next?' Naruto asked, his lips still brushing against Sasuke's with each movements as he spoke.
Sasuke released Naruto's hair and brought one of his hand to the other man's face, he skimmed his thumb on the other's lower lips. "I have to go buy a car next Thursday, will you come with me? We could have dinner first."
Naruto nipped on Sasuke's thumb before answering against it. "Hmm, I'd love to." He brought Sasuke's finger in his mouth, suckling on it softly. He started sucking a little harder when he heard Sasuke groaned. This man was driving him crazy.
They both jumped when Naruto's cell phone started ringing, Naruto biting a little on Sasuke's finger in his surprise. "Fuck..." The raven muttered out of breath.
Naruto looked down at his phone. "It's Gaara, I should have been back fifteen minutes ago." He looked back at Sasuke, who seemed to still have trouble with his breathing. "You okay?" He asked with laughter in his voice.
"I might need sometimes."
"Hahaha, God you're great. Let's have dinner at my place this Friday. Next Thursday is way too far for me."
Sasuke faked a reflection. "I think I can free a spot for you in my busy schedule."
"I'll cook for you. What do you like to eat?"
Sasuke blushed. "Anything with tomatoes?"
"I'll figure something out." He grabbed the back of Sasuke's neck to bring him into a last kiss. "I have to go, but I'll text you!"
Grabbing his shoes on the floor, Naruto leaped out of the car, running toward his own vehicle. He'd have to thing of some nasty shit to get rid of his arousal before he got back to the prison.
*T'es un fucking imbécile si tu penses que je vais daigner te parler! Seulement Dieu est digne de moi: You're fucking stupid if you think that I would talk to you! Only God is worth of me.
**Ta gueule: Shut up
***Je le sens: I can feel it
