Eww guys, I get my exam results on the 22nd, I just want it to be over with... and for Saints Row 4 to be released already.
Though the twisted sheets around his frame, and the throbbing pain in his skull and backside the next morning were solid proof that his little rendezvous with Naruto hadn't been a figment of a dream... Neither of them brought it up. Instead both of the boys skirted around each other. Naruto for one, found refuge in going to the help quarters as much as possible and keeping himself incredibly busy. The result, the boys sank happily into that comfortable denial - well, happily on Naruto's side. Whether it was a defense mechanism, the easy way out, or both ... Talking about it meant that it had happened, and now... that was a reality which the eighteen year-old just didn't know how to face.
The days that followed easily bled into weeks, and the drunken lust became but a foggy memory for Sasuke as life trudged along the halls of the palace, and their wedding drew near. Without the headache that was Naruto and his drama, the Uchiha was finally accepting their one-sided relationship and finding slowly that although with what happened, Naruto would indeed never feel the same way. And it was time for him to try to move on. Because if he didn't, down the years where they were married and had their own little heirs, Sasuke would be in a world of pain. Each time they would sit beside each other in meetings; pain. Each time they would sleep together to produce a future King or Queen to the throne; pain. Each time they even locked eyes with each other; there would be pain.
This peace stretched on for almost a month, until Sasuke finally decided it was time to drive the last nail into the coffin, and officially bury his feelings and what happened between himself and Naruto once and for all... By bringing a sex partner back to the palace. Even if he was soon to be wed, there was no laws about having some hanky-panky before the ceremony Unfortunately, the Uchiha had absolutely no clue that in doing so, he was about to push the counter on a time bomb which had been quietly ticking for weeks...
It didn't take long for the Raven to settle on a worthy candidate. In fact, Sasuke had been bedding with this partner, Sai, for some time now ever since he lost his virginity at the age of 16. Hopefully without the buffer of his feelings for Naruto between them, Sai could quickly help him move on with his flirtatious ways, maybe being his mistress during the time of marriage. Sai was as bold and strange as he was attractive, and though his tastes usually leaned towards, um, less annoying candidates, Sasuke for some reason enjoyed the fact that Sai spoke his mind without thinking of the consequences, it reminded him of... Sigh. Apparently Sai's parents were murdered by a thief robbing them and were from the Earth Kingdom, however eventually Sai's adoptive father sold him off to a brothel to clear his name in some deep debt.
Sai's past however, was the furthest thing from Sasuke's mind that evening, as his appreciative onyx eyes drank in the pure sex standing before him. Sai was wearing a typical red kimono sporting a flow of floral patterns which was typical uniform at the brothel... A soft laugh suddenly pulled the raven from his naughty musings and Sasuke's gaze drifted up from the sinful hips to meet a pair of lusted black eyes.
"Keep staring at me like that Mr Uchiha, and you'll make me bashful."
"Sai, do me a favour," Sasuke hushed, "Shut up."
The raven smirked triumphantly when Sai gave a shaky mew in response and his hands rose up on his shoulders to curl into the soft fabric of his silked kimono. At this rate they wouldn't even have to make small talk before he took him back to his room... Perfect, Sasuke thought. Just perfect... And it was; that is until the Uchiha heard a sudden and unmistakable inhale behind him. The distinctly masculine sound hadn't come from his lips nor Sai's, which left only one possibility.
Why now...
Sasuke jerked back from Sai like he'd been burned and snapped his head around to look. Immediately, both his stomach and heart plummeted upon sight of the casually dressed blue-eyed blonde staring back at him, arms crossed as he stared with a peculiar look. Sasuke tried not to show his panic, but God he felt it. What the hell was Naruto doing home so early? It was the weekend, and for the past four in a row the Namikaze had vacated the palace from Friday until Monday without fail, and now he just randomly chose THIS weekend to break that trend? No one's luck was this bad ... no one.
"You've got to be kidding me." Sasuke groaned under his breath.
"Hmm?" Sai hummed with a raised eyebrow.
Unaware that they weren't alone, he leaned to gaze around the handsome raven and promptly jumped at the sight of Naruto.
"Oh! Good evening!" Sai plastered a smile, not finding this situation awkward at all.
"As much as I'd enjoy this situation, it costs extra for a threesome Sasuke. So I'll take my leave." Sai said, walking down the hall in a scurried fashion before leaving the palace together.
"What do you want Naruto?" Sasuke calmly whispered.
"Who was he..?" Naruto drawled as Sasuke continued to refuse to look at him. The Namikaze frowned slightly at his fiance's shy expression.
"An acquaintance." Sasuke husked, "Now sorry, but I'm going to try catch up to him and explain the situation. I didn't pay for him to wander off..." Sasuke didn't wait for a reply as he turned to go after Sai, hoping he hadn't gotten too far.
Like lightening, Naruto leaned forward and grabbed the raven's wrist unconsciously before he could follow Sai. Sasuke whipped back shocked to find the blonde's head hanging, one hand over his eyes.
"What, do you mean paid..." Naruto said tightly.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
The blonde's hand fell from his eyes and his heated blue gaze narrowed as he looked up at Sasuke.
"What happened to our deal? You said we wouldn't sleep around so people wouldn't dare question our relationship!" He demanded.
Sasuke sighed in sudden comprehension, it was crystal clear what Naruto was really trying to say.
"So you're mad that I sleep around with other people besides you? I made that deal at the time because I wasn't interested in sleeping with others, so why should I let you? But things change." Sasuke said darkly.
Naruto only scowled at this, his grip tightening. Sasuke's gaze narrowed dangerously and he roughly jerked his arm back, but the blonde just yanked him forward in response. Easily winning in strength, Naruto quickly drew Sasuke between his legs before using one hand to push the Uchiha's undershirt up a bit on his stomach. Sasuke jumped with a hiss of pain as Naruto's teeth sank into the newly exposed flesh. The blonde switched his grip to hook into the Sasuke's belt loops. Naruto held Sasuke firmly in place as his lips played across the younger male's lean abdomen then laced hungrily along the sharp cut of muscle which slanted down and disappeared into Sasuke's low slung pants. As the slick texture of Naruto's tongue trailed his skin, Sasuke felt electricity rush up his spine and he frantically forced back the accompanying groan before the sound could break free. Though everything in him said to push Naruto back, the Uchiha's arms continued to rest weakly on his attackers shoulders, both fists balled in the orange silk.
"I try to be calm and go with this fucked up situation and this is what I get in return?" Naruto growled, "Insolence from someone who doesn't even deserve a second look from me! I'm the fucking future King of the Wind Kingdom! You should be thankful that you're marrying me! You should feel privileged that you will bear my children! And in return you decide to sleep with some common whore! Didn't you cum, didn't I give you pleasure?" Naruto demanded.
All the emotions Naruto had sought to keep down came by like a crash, and that confusion only served to ignite the strange flame of anger in the blonde's gut that he hadn't felt in a long time, and something even more foreign and green. He hated this. Why, why the hell did the bloody Uchiha elicit such reactions? He's fucking straight goddamnit! Why didn't Sasuke just obey him, want him like everyone else seemed too... and why the hell did he even care?
Sasuke didn't respond to Naruto's babbled questions. Instead the Uchiha just stared as his onyx eyes became empty and sad.
"Answer me!" Naruto hissed, looking up in fury.
At Sasuke's continued silence Naruto stood and shoved the Fire Prince backwards until he was pinned against the nearest wall.
"So you won't admit it... That's fine too, stay quiet then! Just stay quiet and let me..." Naruto's raspy snarl was almost like a plea as it trailed off.
Suddenly, as quickly as it had come the fire vanished. The blonde's chest heaved as his heated agitation was forced back down beneath a calm wind. Fuck. What was he thinking?
"Dammit... I won't..." Naruto hissed into Sasuke's ear, slamming his fist against the wall in frustration. "I refuse to let you...! Go chase after that fucking whore, if you want him so badly then you deserve each other." With that Naruto pushed away and stalked off, leaving Sasuke alone in the tense silence of the hallway.
In the Namikaze's absence, Sasuke blinked twice, then a third and a shaky breath slipped from his tight lungs as his knees buckled beneath him. The brunette tried to deny that his heart was frantically pounding within his chest... Tried his hardest to forget the burn of Naruto's lips against his skin... Even as his fingers traced over the new hickeys scattering across his abdomen like stars.
Oh, Naruto can be a bit mean and possessive when he's jealous huh? ^-^ But you've already seen his little mean streak before. Now for the next chapter, I've got two decisions: do a week timeskip to the wedding, or do about 3-4 more chapters, and the 5th will be the wedding... What do ya'll think?
