Enter Naruto

Chapter 35: The New Year

It took about another twenty minutes for everyone to decide it was time for bed. He and Sasuke usually stayed up way later, but it had been a pretty crazy day…

And it was a pretty nice change of pace to have Sasuke pulling him up the stairs. It was usually Naruto (after Sasuke threw him a smile one too many times), and it was usually way more aggressive than the gentle way Sasuke was currently pulling him by the hand. But right now, this felt so…

Naruto let out a breath.

Intimate. This felt soft and close and intimate, and Naruto could barely bring himself to say a word for fear of disrupting it—even as Sasuke gently closed the door behind them, even as he turned to look back at Naruto, turned back to press their bodies together, eyes scanning Naruto's face for something—

"...What?" he whispered, throat feeling thick and swollen for a reason Naruto couldn't understand—it was just something—something about the way Sasuke was looking at him—

Sasuke closed the gap between them.

The kiss was soft, slow, and had Naruto feeling even more emotional than he already was. Sasuke's hand traced up Naruto's neck, into his hair—his hips pressed between Naruto's legs, his other hand gently pulling on Naruto's waist—just beckoning—beckoning—

"Sasuke—"

The name escaped his mouth like a sigh against Sasuke's lips, and it was only then that he felt the unmistakable pull of Sasuke's smile—fuck, that smile—

"I believe," Sasuke's voice was soft and low, "I was promised a bag."

Naruto's tongue darted out against his (their) lips—

"A bag…?"

Sasuke pulled back, just enough so he could give Naruto a look, and he knew it was supposed to call him an idiot but all Naruto could see was the desire in those eyes and—oh. Oh—

"It's in my backpack," Naruto whispered, and Sasuke was immediately off of him—walking backwards as he pulled Naruto forwards until they reached the bed—until Sasuke twisted and Naruto fell, with no resistance, onto the mattress—

Naruto's bag was off to the side of the bed.

Sasuke, apparently, decided the best way to reach it was to straddle Naruto's waist. And Naruto really wasn't complaining as one of Sasuke's hands happened to slip under his shirt as the other pulled the bag up into the air—

And dropped it onto Naruto's chest.

"Oof—hey—"

"You're right," Sasuke shifted, and any annoyance Naruto had withered and died as his face came back into view, "you did buy more than I did."

And Naruto laughed, then, even as his face burned, because there was something so wonderful about Sasuke teasing him like this—when Sasuke was this content—this excited—this comfortable with him—

"How many different kinds of lube does one couple need?" Sasuke muttered, digging through the bag.

Naruto laughed.

"I couldn't decide! I told you…"

Sasuke's hand paused.

His eyes met Naruto's—glittering with some sort of knowledge that had Naruto feeling immediately apprehensive—

"Tomato-flavoured?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow.

Naruto's face flushed.

"I—well, I mean—"

Sasuke slowly leaned forward, pushing the bag off Naruto's chest so he could press close enough to have his lips just barely brush Naruto's—

"It's not for you, then," Sasuke said, watching him.

"I mean," Naruto swallowed, "it's kinda for me…"

Sasuke watched him for a moment longer.

"Is that what you want tonight, Naruto?"

Naruto sucked in a breath, but he barely had the chance to catch it before Sasuke slipped back, off of Naruto's body until he pressed between his legs—until his hands pushed his thighs up, just a little, as he pressed harder, and even through the clothes, Naruto swore he could feel—

"Is this what you want tonight, Naruto?"

Naruto shuddered under the weight of his words—god, the way Sasuke's voice could get sometimes—

"Yeah."

It was the way Sasuke said his name—the way Sasuke looked at him, not just tonight but especially tonight—the way Naruto had felt when the countdown had ended, and Sasuke was beside him, there, with the promise staying together pressed against his lips—

"Yeah," he said again. "I really want this."

He hadn't expected to. Not this much. It was one thing to be open to trying something, but the way he was nearly trembling with desire—

This was something else entirely.

"Um," he tried to collect his thoughts, but it was so hard with Sasuke over him like this, "if you don't, we—"

Sasuke laughed right in his face.

"The world's biggest moron," he moved back up Naruto's body, "that's what you are."

And Naruto couldn't help but laugh, too, as he wrapped his arms around Sasuke's neck to pull him closer—as he linked his ankles around Sasuke's waist to pull him closer—and Sasuke's arm wrapped around his leg, lifting Naruto's hips up—helping them meet every time he—every time he—ah—

"Mm—" he moaned into the kiss, and it was meant to ask him to get these clothes away from them—there were too many layers between him and Sasuke—but he was so breathless and Sasuke was such a good kisser and Naruto just couldn't keep hold of a single thought with that tongue in his mouth—

But Sasuke could read his mind—or his body—because he sat up in the same motion that he pulled off his shirt—and then he set to work on Naruto's, which was good because Naruto was far too occupied with getting his hands on Sasuke's skin—

"Pants, Naruto," Sasuke muttered against his lips and Naruto made a noise of discontent—but he unlinked his ankles nonetheless. Letting Sasuke pull away was getting more and more difficult every time he had to do it—

But, at least, it gave him a chance to get Sasuke naked, too. There was still a faint flush on his cheeks—whether due to embarrassment or the alcohol, Naruto didn't know—as he crawled back over him—but the lube was in his hand, and he actually had picked the tomato one, apparently—

"Wh—hang on," Naruto said quickly, sitting up. "Try it first—I don't know if it's actually—"

"I am trying it," Sasuke said, flipping the cap open—and that was the only warning Naruto got before he squeezed the bottle, letting it drip onto Naruto's stomach—

"Sas—"

"I'm trying it, Naruto," he whispered, leaning down, and Naruto sucked in a breath as his tongue ran along his skin—he felt another drop along his hips and it was only another moment before Sasuke's mouth was there, too—and then his thigh—and then the inside of his thigh, and then—fuck, Naruto nearly whined in anticipation—

Sasuke's mouth moved to his cock.

"Ha—ah, god, Sasuke—!" Fuck, just the feeling of his tongue—he hadn't even taken him in yet, he was just teasing, but Sasuke was so good at teasing—he gripped the sheets of Sasuke's bed as if they were the only thing keeping him from falling through it—

"Sa—ah—" He sucked in a breath as if it would put his mind back together—Sasuke was driving him so—

"Not bad," Sasuke said, pulling up. "Turn around."

"Huh—what?" Naruto hadn't even caught his breath yet—

"Turn around," he repeated. "I haven't finished trying it."

It took a long, long moment for the words to register in Naruto's head. But when they did—

"Oh—" he breathed in, nodding, "okay—"

Okay—okay, he hadn't even dreamed of Sasuke doing this yet, but if he wanted to try—yeah, sure, yes, okay, yeah—

"Usuratonkachi," Sasuke laughed, and it was Naruto's favourite fucking sound, "I didn't expect you to be this eager."

"You—why not?" Naruto let out a breath—half of a laugh— "You—you dummy—"

Sasuke snorted, then, but all of Naruto's words melted away as he gripped his cock again—one hand stroking him, one hand on his back, turning him around—

"If you don't like it—" He felt Sasuke's lips against his back—

"I'll tell you," he said immediately. Really, he couldn't imagine anything with Sasuke being bad, at this point, but if it put Sasuke at ease—

He heard the cap open again—felt Sasuke's fingers just for a moment, and then—and then—

"F-fuck, nngh—"

He felt Sasuke's hands on his cheeks, spreading them apart—Naruto gasped, shuddering forward and Sasuke's tongue pulled back—

"Is it okay?"

"Yes—fuck, Sasuke, don't sto—"

It was hot and wet and soft and—hah—fuck—he had never felt anything like this—Sasuke was—he must have researched this too—or maybe he was just good at everything—Sasuke was so good at everything—

"Oh—god, hah—" Naruto squirmed—Sasuke was really exploring—as if feeling around for what Naruto would like the most—Naruto didn't much care what he did as long as he kept going—his tongue entered him and he could feel the way it moved—in circles, it moved—

"Nngh—"

And then Sasuke's hand was back on Naruto's cock again and fuck—he couldn't handle this—this was—

"Sasuke—" he gasped for air, "Sasuke—I wanna last, 'ske—"

Sasuke pulled back, and it let Naruto twist, rolling over just in time to meet Sasuke's lips—

"Oh," he breathed, "it does kinda taste like tomatoes—"

Sasuke laughed.

"More like tomato sauce," he said, one hand still on Naruto's cock, even as he pulled back to dig through the bag again—for a condom? No, a—

"More lube?" Naruto blinked—

"Silicone," Sasuke said, casually flicking back some hair that stuck to his face as if it wasn't the sexiest fucking thing Naruto had ever fucking seen in his life. "Flavoured is water-based."

"Oh," the breath that Naruto let out turned into a laugh—he eyed Sasuke with the affection just bursting through his chest, "I'm so glad you think of this stuff—"

Sasuke leaned forwards, again, and Naruto distinctly heard the cap flip open, again—

"I have to," he muttered against Naruto's lips. "I'm competing with perfection."

And Naruto's heart skipped a beat, but Sasuke's fingers entered him then and any reply he had died to the breath in his throat—

"Ah—'ske—"

"You're more relaxed than I thought," said Sasuke's voice, trailing down Naruto's neck—Naruto only sighed in response, eyes fluttering shut as he focused on letting Sasuke's stretch him—

He didn't know how Sasuke could have expected anything else. Naruto was never more relaxed than when he was here with Sasuke—when it was just the two of them, he just...there was nothing else he wanted. Nothing else he could ever want. As long as Sasuke was with him—

"I love you," he whispered, eyes still closed—but they opened as he heard Sasuke let out a harsh breath, pulling away—

"You're making it really hard," Sasuke said, looking almost pained, "for me to wait."

He let out another breath, and this time Naruto could hear as it shuddered—as Sasuke's breath shook with desire—for Naruto—

Naruto grinned.

"What are you waiting for?"

Sasuke blinked. "For you to—"

"Be ready?" Naruto forced himself to sit up, if only a little. "I've been ready all night."

Sasuke let out another long breath.

"Physically," he said, swallowing. "Ready—physically. I don't want to hurt you—"

"And you won't." Naruto laughed. "Sasuke. Teme. I'm ready."

He saw Sasuke swallow, again, as he watched him—

"Sasuke, if you don't put on a condom soon, I'm just gonna let you fuck me raw—"

And Sasuke's face finally broke back into his smile—and the laugh was soft, but it was there—

"Don't tempt me," he muttered, obediently reaching for the bag nonetheless.

Naruto exhaled as Sasuke's fingers left him, but he didn't let his eyes flutter shut as Sasuke stretched the condom over himself. There was no way he'd let himself miss a second of this—

"Sit up," Sasuke said, moving forward with lube in hand—

"Like this?" He pushed himself up against the headboard, switching his arms to Sasuke's shoulders as Sasuke slipped his knees underneath him—

"Are you comfortable?" Sasuke whispered, as if his cock wasn't pressing right up against Naruto—

"I will be."

It was the only warning he gave Sasuke before he sank down.

"Nngh—" Sasuke buckled into him, nails digging into Naruto's back—Naruto sucked in a breath and slipped down further—sinking, sinking—it was powerful and mind-numbing and damn near overwhelmed him, but he knew this feeling—it was just more, and that's what he wanted—that's what he always wanted—more of Sasuke, always more, more, more—

"You can move, Sasuke," he said, one hand running through his hair. Sasuke pulled back, staring at him—

Naruto let their lips brush together.

"Move with me."

And Sasuke did.

"Ah—!"

And Naruto's didn't tell his head to roll back or his back to arch, but they did, more and more as Sasuke pulled his hips closer and then back again—forward, then back, forward, then back, soft and slow and gentle and together—

"Mm," his body responded to Sasuke's barest touch—it always had, but this was getting so, so, so— "s'good, Sasuke—keep—hah—"

Sasuke exhaled in response—but it was long and pained, as if he was just barely controlling himself—Naruto felt his smile stretch his face at the thought—

Sasuke made a noise.

"What?" Naruto asked, breathless—his eyes fluttered open to meet Sasuke's, dark and hooded and moving closer—

"Come here—"

He didn't give Naruto a chance to respond before he had him pressed up against the headboard—Naruto moaned into his mouth as Sasuke lifted his hips up—Naruto moaned into his mouth as Sasuke lifted his hips up and—oh, that angle was—that angle was so—

"Mmph—like that, Sas—there, ye—ah—"

His voice broke but he didn't care, Sasuke was kissing it away in the next second anyways—he pushed forward and forward and god, Naruto loved feeling their skin together, like this—Sasuke was so close to him, so close, fuck, he was so close—

He didn't know if Sasuke could feel it from the way Naruto's body was tensing—from the way it was starting to shake—or maybe Naruto said it out loud, he couldn't be sure—but Sasuke moved a hand out from under him to put it between them—to press Naruto's cock against Sasuke's stomach, letting their bodies do the rest, and somehow—fuck—Naruto felt the pleasure in his veins expand tenfold—

"Sas—" he gasped, "m'too loud—Sas'ke—I'm—"

And his voice rose and his back arched and Sasuke crashed their mouths together and Naruto felt as if everything inside him was coiling, twisting, building to a level that had him completely useless—he couldn't think—he couldn't breathe—he could barely open his eyes—

"Naruto—" Sasuke mumbled into his mouth and Naruto was undone—

"Mmph—!" It was only Sasuke's mouth that stopped the scream—only his mouth that stifled it—the orgasm rushed through him like a tidal wave and Naruto was helpless to do anything but cling to Sasuke and hope he didn't drown—

By the time Naruto came back to reality, Sasuke had already buckled forwards, clutching Naruto as if he was his lifeline. He could feel Sasuke's breath, still shuddering, against his neck—feel his cock, too, and he was way more aware of the way it was still contracting inside of him now—

Something wet dripped onto his neck.

"Sasuke—?!" Naruto tried to sit up, immediately alarmed—

But Sasuke's grip didn't relent.

"Just let me," Sasuke's whisper came, "just—"

His voice cut off into a breath—and that cut off into a kiss (just a small one, pressed to Naruto's neck)—

Naruto relaxed back against the headboard, tightening his arms around him. He had been pretty confident that he could keep the burning in his own eyes under control, before he had realized that Sasuke was this emotional, too—

"We gotta stop crying after sex," he mumbled, laughing a little.

Sasuke snorted, but didn't move. Naruto let one hand run up into Sasuke's hair, combing through the back of it—

"Was it...?"

Naruto laughed.

"Good? You're gonna sit here and ask me if the mind-blowing sex we just had was good?" Naruto leaned back against the headboard, arms still tight around Sasuke. "You're as bad as I am."

Sasuke snorted. There was a pause—Naruto let his hand run through Sasuke's hair again, letting out a breath. It was maybe a good thing that Sasuke was still in him, because if it wasn't for that then Naruto would have likely dozed off already, and he really didn't feel finished with Sasuke, yet, today—

"Hey," he said softly, before he forgot, "thanks for being so great today."

Sasuke paused—his grip loosening on Naruto, just a little—

"I mean—you're great every day," Naruto let out a soft laugh, "but I mean—like, with the email from Jiraiya. And Kakashi being a dick—and when I kinda gave away that you got a publisher…you," Naruto laughed again, "you handle stuff so much better than I do—I'm—"

He swallowed, trying to fight back the lump in his throat—the burning in his eyes, too—

"I'm so lucky, Sasuke. I can't believe I got to meet you. I was so close to never—I know you said you needed to—to have me in your life—but I really think I needed you more. You have no idea, I—"

A single tear slid down Sasuke's cheek.

"—Wh—Sa—no, don't cry—" Naruto sprung up, completely forgetting that Sasuke's dick was still in his— "Oh—whoa—okay, that felt weird."

And Naruto's face flushed as Sasuke laughed, but Sasuke could laugh at him every day for the rest of his life and Naruto would never, ever complain—

"Moron," Sasuke said, pushing Naruto back. "Hold on…"

He helped Naruto up, onto his knees—wow, he really hadn't expected his legs to feel this weak—

He let out a long, slow breath as Sasuke pulled out.

"Jeez," he let out a breathless laugh, clinging back at the headboard to try and keep himself stable, "I didn't think I'd be this exhausted—"

He let out another breath, shaking his head a little—

"Are you?"

Naruto blinked. Sasuke was watching him in that calm, piercing sort of way—

"Physically tired," Naruto said quickly. "I'm not like—ready to sleep or anything." He was almost positive that's what Sasuke—

"Good," Sasuke said, smiling softly, "because we need to take a shower."

Naruto's smile widened.

"We?"

Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"Obviously," he said, leaning closer. "I'm not finished with today yet, usuratonkachi."

"Teme—" The word was muffled into the kiss and Naruto had no intentions of changing that. Sasuke's lips were gentle and his touch even more so, and it left him feeling so warm and soft and loved—

"It doesn't have to just be today," Naruto whispered as they pulled apart. "Wanna stay here tomorrow?"

Sasuke blinked—pulling back to stare at him as if it hadn't even occurred to him as an option—

"Here…?"

"With your parents. In your home. Let's stay another night. Okay?"

Sasuke stared at him. Naruto distinctly saw the way he swallowed—and then blinked, looking away as he nodded—as one hand reached out to gently take Naruto's—

"Yeah," he said, voice thick. "Thank you, Naruto."

Naruto shook his head, smiling.

"Sasuke, you moron," he let his head rest against Sasuke's shoulder, "I should be the one thanking you."

He awoke to the soft sound of knocks at his door—hesitant, but not relenting. Sasuke let out a groan, rolling over into Naruto's body—still naked, like him, and the sun hadn't even risen yet—

"Oh," he sucked in a breath, "sunrise. Naruto—"

"Muh—" Naruto rolled away, mumbling.

"Naruto," he said again, "you have to wake up—put your clothes on, come on—"

"Wh—why?" Naruto's eyes—unfocused and red—finally opened. "Somethi—wh's wrong?"

"It's the first sunrise of the new year, usuratonkachi. Come on."

It took three more blinks for Naruto's mouth to widen into a smile.

"Oh yeah," he said, finally sitting up. "Lemmie—okay."

They met Itachi at the door—once they were dressed in last night's clothes again. He raised an eyebrow and quietly informed Naruto that his shirt was on backwards, before he promptly turned—going to the balcony, Sasuke knew. He pulled Naruto along, even as the blonde tried to twist his shirt around—the doors opened and Naruto huddled right up to him the moment the cold air hit them—

His father and his mother were already there. Holding two jackets, no less—and Sasuke swallowed as he passed one back to Naruto, because the question was building in the back of his throat—

He looked out over the sunrise.

Naruto slipped an arm around his waist.

"Do you mind," he started, eyes still on the horizon, "if Naruto and I stay another night?"

And as his mother babbled her agreement—as even his father spoke his—as Itachi chuckled behind them and Naruto looked at him with the sun reflected in his eyes—

If this was what the new year would bring, then Sasuke couldn't wait.

A/N: Two years ago, I started a fic with the intention of vaguely attempting the Nanowrimo word count (50k), on my own time, because I had never managed that amount before. And then this fic grew and grew, and it took way longer than it takes other people to write, and I struggled with scenes and debated taking things out and, for a while, thought this might just be out of the range of what I could do, but I finished it, and I love it. And I hope you all love it too.

For those of you that followed along as I posted a chapter a day - thank you so, so much. This month has flown by and I know the reason for that is the absolute blast it's been. It was so cool to hear your ideas and opinions and when you would completely guess right as to what would happen next - I loved it. I'm going to miss your comments :')

For those of you that are reading after the full fic has been posted - please still tell me what you think! I poured a lot of myself and my own experiences into this fic, and hearing that it might resonate with someone outside of myself just blows my mind every time. I will always, always love to hear your thoughts.

For those of you wondering about a sequel - you probably realize that I've left enough open for one. I did that on purpose! I love this story and this world, and I definitely have enough ideas as to where it could go from here, but for now, I'm happy with where we've left off.

If you'd like to keep up with me, you can definitely follow me on tumblr (kinomiakai)! That's where I post updates or excerpts from time to time, and I'll reply to any questions you have for me. I have plenty of WIPs on the way, so stay tuned!

See you next time,

- Kinomi
