Hello all. We are at 99 reviews! I'm not patient enough to wait for one more lol. So, here is the bonus chapter I promised. This one is thanks to Scared of Darkness who asked, "Who was his (Sasuke's) first?"

This little bonus chapter will explain that. I also want to answer a couple of questions asked last chapter by an anonymous reviewer.

"It was kinda confusing how you made Sasuke seem so heterosexual at first then later admitted he had previous male sexual partners. If Naruto wants to marry Sasuke, why hasn't he told anyone they're together?"

Sasuke was only pretending to be heterosexual because he didn't want to push Naruto away. More than anything though his hesitation was over losing Naruto as a friend not over being gay or straight. Sasuke is very firm in his preferences. More of this will come up later in the story, but be confident that Sasuke was never confused over his sexuality. His doubt and hesitation always came from fear of losing Naruto's friendship. (This bonus chapter also shows just for how long Sasuke has been aware of his sexuality.)

As for Naruto wanting to marry Sasuke, he hasn't said anything because he can't. He knows homosexuality is not accepted and they're keeping it a secret for that reason. It's the same reasons Neji has for not approaching Naruto more casually and openly about his attraction. That and Neji also suffers from Sasuke's previous dilemma of not wanting to lose Naruto as a friend.

Enjoy.

Another boring day in front of the television went by slowly. It was hot. It was hot and the windows were open, but no air was blowing to relieve the warmth of the midday sun.

Naruto clicked on the remote so the television channels flew by on mute. He was leaning on the couch with an uninterested look a seat away from his boyfriend. Sasuke could hear every single click. He could hear every single sigh that Naruto gave as he found nothing to watch. Sasuke licked his thumb and changed the page of his new book slowly. The raspy dry sound of paper rubbing on paper as he turned the page was audible in the silence of the room.

There was a little song going on between them. Naruto would change about 20 channels before Sasuke would slide the page to new one. In between each of Naruto's sighs Sasuke would tap his foot.

Naruto sighed. He looked at Sasuke and sighed again. The heat was getting to him. He could feel his neck starting to gather sweat and his forehead and upper lip were beading. It was too hot to be indoors.

Sasuke pushed his glasses higher up on his nose. They kept sliding lower and lower every time he creased his eyebrows together in annoyance. It didn't help that he was also starting to sweat in the early Spring heat.

Naruto sighed again, put down the remote then sighed once more, this time too loud to be real.

Sasuke finally slammed his hardcover book down on the side table. It made an echoing loud crack as wood was struck.

"What?" Sasuke asked in a yell and yanked his glasses off his face so violently fast he was sure he'd broken the frames.

Naruto looked at him with tired blue eyes and sighed again. "Oh, nothing." He answered as if Sasuke hadn't just blown up in frustration.

"You idiot." Sasuke said, stood up and pulled his shirt away from his skin where it stuck with sweat. "What do you want?" He asked again in a calmer voice.

"I'm bored." Naruto said and reached out to turn off the television. "It's hot." He added to his list of complaints.

"What do you want me to do about it?" Sasuke asked moodily. He grabbed his book and went to leave it in his room.

"I don't know, but it's hot." Naruto said petulantly.

"and I'm bored." They both said at the same time. Sasuke to mock him while Naruto said it to genuinely add the complaint.

"You too?" Naruto asked completely clueless.

Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Get your trunks." Sasuke said and started stripping in his room. He was wearing trunks and a t-shirt soon after.

"I feel lazy." Naruto said as he stood up with great effort.

"You are lazy." Sasuke said and went into Naruto's room to get him some clothes. "Here." He said as he held the trunks out to Naruto.

"I'm not dressing you." Sasuke warned and went to the kitchen where he could grab a few bottles of water for their short trip.

Naruto was sweating more than before. He didn't see how the hiking trip was helping him with boredom or heat. "Sasuke, where are we going?" He asked.

Sasuke's boots made a loud crunching noise as he walked on the pebble covered path. He heard Naruto's question and kept walking. "Your teacher's old information gathering spot." Sasuke answered.

"Oh." Naruto remembered the place. It had a nice waterfall and the water was always cool. Naruto wiped his forehead clean of sweat with the back of his arm and finished his third water bottle of the day.

"I'm tired, kitten." Naruto complained a few minutes later and wiped more sweat away from his face.

"Naruto, if you stop calling me that, I'll carry you the rest of the way there." Sasuke bartered as he came to a stop.

"Really?" Naruto said feeling hopeful.

"Really." Sasuke guaranteed.

"Okay, but just for a week." Naruto said with the first grin of the day finally showing on his face.

"One week. It's a deal." Sasuke smirked as he held out his hand.

Naruto eagerly took the hand and wasted no time to hop onto Sasuke's back.

Sasuke grunted as he felt all of Naruto's weight on him. "No more ramen for you." Sasuke muttered under his breath as he held onto Naruto by the backs of his knees. Sasuke took a few more steps and turned into some bushes then emerged at the river site. "Well, here we are." Sasuke dropped Naruto immediately and ran at the water.

"Bastard! That's cheating!" Naruto called after him. He ran behind Sasuke and jumped into the cool water without wasting a second. "You tricked me!" Naruto accused as he swam after Sasuke.

"I carried you the rest of the way. It's you own fault for not asking how much further it was." Sasuke reasoned.

Naruto pouted. "You mean, mean, lying, tricky, slimy, double-crossing traitor." Naruto said and took a seat in the shallow banks.

Sasuke laughed. "Great insult. What are you in 2nd grade?" He asked and swam up to sit next to Naruto where it was a little hard to stay sitting and not float away and the water came up over their shoulders.

"Traitor." Naruto mumbled again.

"If you didn't know that already then I have to ask you where were you a few years ago?" Sasuke said and hoped his tone was light enough to not start a fight.

"Training to get your ass back to Konoha." Naruto said and sounded a little sad.

Sasuke rubbed at his nose. He'd said the wrong thing. "I'm sorry, Naruto." Sasuke said and nudged him lightly.

Naruto was practically grinding his teeth.

"I won't ever leave you again." Sasuke promised.

Naruto shook his head and looked away from Sasuke. He didn't want to meet his eyes.

"It was just something I had to do." Sasuke explained.

"Whatever, Sasuke. Just shut up." Naruto said sourly. He got up and walked away from Sasuke.

Sasuke crossed his arms. He wondered sometimes if Naruto's excessive use of sexy no jutsu had flipped a few of his emotional switches.

"Naruto." Sasuke called after him and got up to follow. He knew he couldn't stand it if Naruto were to stay mad at him. Now he had to plead. Naruto was sitting just across the river only 10 feet away on the opposite bank. "Sweet stuff." Sasuke coaxed and sat next to him again. He gave him a light nudge.

Naruto refused to answer. He was pressing his lips close together to prevent his expression from changing.

"Baby." Sasuke pleaded and tried to smile.

Naruto looked over at Sasuke. Sasuke was making a funny face at him. Naruto felt a chuckle rise, but he pouted playfully to keep it down. Sasuke had opened his eyes wide and turned his lips in together so he was imitating a fish.

When Naruto didn't laugh he abandoned the idea, but Sasuke knew he was close. "Foxy." He added for good measure.

Naruto looked away, but Sasuke could tell he might just smile.

"Naru-chan," Sasuke said in a sing-song voice and kissed Naruto's shoulder lightly. "are you going to leave your kitten hanging here?" Sasuke asked as he tilted his head for a kiss.

Naruto gave him a look. He was trying to stay angry, but his pout was slowly fading. "You cheated." He said finally.

"I'm sorry I tricked you." Sasuke said. "We can forget the terms of the deal."

"Fine." Naruto said and kissed Sasuke lightly on the lips.

"I'm also sorry I brought that up." Sasuke said and held Naruto around his waist.

"It's alright." Naruto said and leaned his head on Sasuke's shoulder. "If you leave again, I'll cut your balls off." Naruto threatened.

Sasuke laughed. "Deal." He said and closed his eyes after leaning his head on Naruto's.

"So, was this a good idea or what?" Sasuke asked as the clear water rushed past them.

"It was a good idea." Naruto agreed and turned to dive in for one last swim.

"I hope this doesn't end up in our drinking water." Sasuke said as he washed himself clean and got dressed again.

Naruto laughed. "It wouldn't be the first time we swallowed." Naruto said crudely and dressed as well.

"Or the last." Sasuke smiled at Naruto. "You're such -"

"An idiot?" Naruto guessed as he took a seat on the dry pebbles next to Sasuke.

"No. Yes. Well, sometimes, but that wasn't what I was going to say." Sasuke said.

"Oh." Naruto said as he laid on his back and crossed his forearm over his eyes to cover the dimming sunlight.

"You're such a good lover." Sasuke said and laid down on his back, imitating Naruto's position.

Naruto felt his face get hot. He'd never heard that before. "Not bad for a virgin then?" Naruto asked to cover up how nervous he was that Sasuke was joking and would pull the compliment away.

"I don't believe that one bit." Sasuke said. "You were lying that night. Weren't you?" Sasuke asked. "You just wanted it so bad; I bet you would have told me anything." Sasuke laughed. "It's alright if you lied." He said and pulled his hand away enough to open one eye and look over at Naruto.

"I didn't lie." Naruto said and did the same so he could also look at Sasuke. Naruto pulled his arm away completely and turned on his side to face Sasuke. "I did want you, but I didn't lie." He guaranteed.

"Hmm." Sasuke said thoughtfully and closed his eye again. "So, I was your first?" Sasuke asked.

"Yes." Naruto said and moved close until he could lay his head on Sasuke's chest. "Who was your first Sasuke?" Naruto asked.

"Nobody you know." Sasuke answered.

"How would you know?" Naruto asked. "Who was it? Not Sakura right?" Naruto asked in horror.

Sasuke chuckled and felt his chest rise and jolt Naruto's head with each move. "Not Sakura. During the time I was with Orochimaru." Sasuke said.

Naruto pulled away instantly. He moved so fast it scared Sasuke into sitting up as well. Naruto had his hands over his mouth.

"Naruto?" Sasuke asked in concern. "What's wro-"

"Orochimaru?" Naruto yelled loud enough for it to echo.

Naruto was gagging and Sasuke couldn't gather enough air in his lungs to deny it as he laughed. Naruto was inching away from Sasuke with each second. "Oh my god." He gasped as he pulled his hands away. "You let that thing in you? Oh god. I'm going to be sick." Naruto covered his mouth again while Sasuke only laughed.

"Idiot." Sasuke said finally once his laughter had calmed down some. "I said 'during the time I was with Orochimaru' not that he'd been the one." Sasuke explained. "I bet he couldn't even get it up back then."

Naruto got some of his color back. "Oh, sorry." He said.

"I have better tastes too." Sasuke said and pulled Naruto back towards him. He laid back down and assumed his previous laying position. "It wasn't a girl either." Sasuke said.

Naruto laid back down on Sasuke. "So, who was it?" Naruto asked now that he'd laid down again.

"I'm not really proud to say." Sasuke said with the first signs of trepidation and shame.

"It can't be that bad." Naruto said. "It wasn't that guy with the glasses was it?" Naruto asked.

"Kabuto?" Sasuke supplied.

"Yeah." Naruto said as the name matched the face in his mind.

"No. Not him." Sasuke answered.

"Then who? Stop stalling." Naruto insisted.

Sasuke sighed. He'd have to tell Naruto eventually. "I don't know." Sasuke said.

Naruto opened his eyes and looked up at Sasuke. "How can you not know?" Naruto asked.

"I paid him." Sasuke said and sat up.

Naruto had no choice, but to sit up too. "Why?" Naruto asked.

"Because in his line of work, he expected to get paid for his services." Sasuke explained calmly.

"So, you're telling me nobody would sleep with you, so you had to pay somebody to do it?" Naruto asked.

"Naruto, does it look like I need to pay people to have sex with me?" Sasuke asked with a sign of irritation.

"No." Naruto answered honestly.

"I didn't want the first time to mean anything." Sasuke said. "I had to go out and do it because Orochimaru thought it would be a distraction if I didn't." Sasuke explained.

"How could it be a distraction?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke avoided looking at him. "Puberty apparently affected his previous pupils. The curiosity of sex was a distraction." Sasuke said.

"Puberty?" Naruto asked and felt completely lost. "Sasuke, how old were you?" He finally asked.

"Look, you wanted to know who. I told you who. I don't know his name. I don't know who he is. Let's drop this." Sasuke said with discomfort. He didn't want to talk about it anymore.

Naruto stared at his hands. He didn't know what to say. While his first time had been amazing and with somebody he loved at the good age of 23, Sasuke's had been with a stranger, with a faceless man to whom Sasuke was only one more, another partner to help pay the rent, another number in a long list of many and this was before Sasuke had even matured to understand.

Their slow walk back was silent. Naruto had avoided touching and talking to Sasuke. He could see how upset Sasuke was and he didn't think he could help any. Naruto stared at his feet almost the whole way back. He wanted so badly to hug Sasuke and tell him it wasn't his fault or say something, anything, but suffer through the silence any longer. The truth was Naruto wasn't very good with moments like those. He felt so unpracticed when it came to feelings and since he'd never really had parents he didn't know the right words to say to comfort somebody. He kept the feelings of ineptitude to himself until he thought he'd cry from his own reprimands. If only he'd had some experience while growing up, he might know what to say now.

Back in their apartment the night had finally cooled the living room. Now that they were in the brightly lit comforts of their home Naruto left to his room. Sasuke settled onto the couch once more with his book in hand. He fixed the slight dent he'd put in his glasses and slipped them on. Naruto brought out a blanket from his room and covered their laps. He sat close enough to Sasuke to be able to read as well.

Naruto leaned his head on Sasuke's shoulder and closed his eyes when he couldn't feign things were okay any longer. "I never know what to say." Naruto said in a whisper that threatened to turn into a sob. "When your past comes up, I never know the right things to say." Naruto sighed and felt tears stinging his eyes. His nostrils burned from the unshed tears and his vision was becoming blurred even as he tried to blink the moisture away.

"It's okay Naruto." Sasuke said and stopped pretending to read. He put the book down and looked at Naruto. "You don't have to say anything. It's in the past." Sasuke turned until he was holding Naruto in his arms much like Naruto liked to hold him against his chest during movies.

Sasuke had a lot of things to deal with. His past was cruel and just as unjust as Naruto's had been. He wasn't the best at saying the right thing either. He could relate to Naruto completely and he couldn't hold it against him, when he knew that if their positions had been reversed he wouldn't know what to say either.

"Sasuke, was this when you were only 13?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke ran his hand through Naruto's hair. "Don't worry about my age. If it makes it any easier for you, the man wasn't much of a man. He was about my age too." Sasuke said and kissed the top of Naruto's head.

"I feel even worse." Naruto mumbled.

"Because you feel bad for him too?" Sasuke asked while trying to be as understanding as he could.

"Because you're here comforting me, when I should be comforting you. I'm a horrible boyfriend, I'm a bad friend." Naruto by now had willed away his tears, but they threatened to return.

"You aren't." Sasuke hugged Naruto tightly. "Should I tell you a secret?" Sasuke offered in hopes of cheering Naruto up.

"Yes." Naruto said and felt a tear finally slip over his bottom lid.

"Even if I didn't understand why back then, when it happened," Sasuke cleared his throat. "you know when I had to do that. I kept thinking of blue eyes and blonde hair comforting me." Sasuke sniffled and Naruto felt as a splash of warmth hit the shell of his ear. "When I cried afterward all I could think of was you and how you wouldn't have let it happen. I never regretted leaving you behind so much as I did then." Sasuke wiped away at his face and stayed quiet.

"I'm sorry I couldn't be there, Sasuke." Naruto said and once again he didn't have the right words to say.

Sasuke held onto Naruto and sighed. He kissed Naruto's head and then nibbled on his ear.

"If I'd had a choice, even if you'd asked me at 11 or 13," Sasuke managed to chuckle. "I would have picked you as my first." Sasuke said and kissed the top of Naruto's head again.

"Not really a compliment." Naruto said and sat up to look at Sasuke. Naruto's eyes were red probably just as red as Sasuke's own were. "You couldn't stand anybody when we were kids."

"I could stand you." Sasuke said and shrugged. "I would have picked you over anybody for anything."

"Really?" Naruto asked and finally smiled.

"Really." Sasuke said and smiled back.

Hope you enjoyed it. Please review.

Also I only have one last bonus chapter planned. TheOtaku27 previously asked:

"When did Naruto realize his feelings for Sasuke,though? Plus,What's Sasuke's response to the proposal?"

The bonus chapter will probably be called 'Love' and it will answer the question about when they both realized their feelings for each other.

As for Sasuke's response to the proposal it was just as posted:

"Marry me?" Naruto urged suddenly in a whisper.

Sasuke took one of Naruto's hands and press it to his chest over his heart. Sasuke then pressed his own hand over Naruto's heart. They both beat slow and steady. Sasuke shut his eyes again and let himself drift back to the comfortable edge of sleep.

"Idiot." Sasuke responded with affection just as quietly.

There was nothing more said about it between them. You haven't missed a thing, but there is more on his proposal later on in the story. You all know Naruto isn't about to drop it just because Sasuke said the "I" word.

Alright thanks to you all for reading and reviewing! ^_^ Thanks for the feedback on the pets. I might work that into another bonus chapter. If you have a question or suggestion, I'd love to hear it. I'm out of themes and ideas for bonus chapters, so if there's something you'd like to see our boys do or talk about drop me a line in a PM or just add it to your review!

Thanks all.
