~Sasuke POV~
Two weeks had passed by since Kiba fought with Neji.
Since that day, Hinata had come back to school telling us that Neji had been a lot kinder lately. He was still an asshole to her, but he kept the insults to a minimum. Both Naruto and Kiba were convinced he needed another ass-kicking, but they were feeling optimistic that perhaps he was changing for the better.
I can't say I share their line of thinking.
To be perfectly honest, I haven't even given Neji, Hinata or any of the others problems any thought lately. I've been too focused on my own...
And it's not even 'problems' for me...it's just a single problem.
And that problem has to do with Naruto.
It's not that he's done anything wrong. The problem is nothing like that at all, Naruto's perfect. He's more than perfect, he's incredible. He's everything I could have asked for in a boyfriend and I'm lucky to have him. He's a great person...
But I'm not.
At least, that's what I think every time this 'problem' arises. Naruto's been through enough, if I were to spring this thought on him... He doesn't need to deal with it. Especially not since the finale of Kabuto's trial is this week. Luckily my father has been keeping it under wraps and Naruto has been allowed to live on with minimal confrontation to both the lawyers, judges and anyone else in a suit that's been trying to get something from him. I'll have to thank my father for doing that.
The issue I've been having is more to do with my wants...my so called 'needs'. I felt like I was trapped in a box at the moment, begging for release and the only thing that could give it was Naruto. But then I was hit with guilt.
After all, the subject matter of my problem...Naruto hasn't had many good experiences with it. Although, then again he hasn't had any experiences with it at all...I hope.
"Hey Sasuke!" I jumped at the call, turning to see Naruto running up to me. Behind him, Hinata was walking with Sakura while Shikamaru and Kiba walked behind, chatting lazily. Well, Shikamaru was chatting lazily, while Kiba looked like a tightly wound spring ready to rocket off into orbit at the slightest poke.
I was sorely tempted to poke him and see if it would actually happen. My problem would be so much easier to deal with if he were somewhere in orbit.
Kiba had probably made my problem ten times worse by...preventing it before.
Hn, I suppose a lot of you-whoever 'you' are anyway- have already guessed my problem?
I, Uchiha Sasuke, want to take my relationship with my boyfriend, Uzumaki Naruto...to the next level.
And I haven't the slightest clue how to do that.
We've been dating for just over four months now, and I realize that that isn't really as long as one might need before 'going all the way'.
But I do really care for Naruto. I do love him.
...
Love him...
It's amazing how I can say that so easily inside my head, but every time I try to say it out loud, it's like someone shoved an invisible wad of cotton in my throat. I remember a time earlier in the week that I tried to say it.
It was late in the evening, and I'd stayed over at Naruto's apartment that night. We'd been doing homework and snacking on chips, biscuits and, in my case, a nice tomato and cheese salad.
I remember looking over at Naruto, seeing him concentrating on his work, a biscuit hanging from his mouth. He'd looked so simple, so normal.
He'd looked so perfect.
I'd opened my mouth, called him beautiful...I swear the look he'd sent me had been so comical if I were any less of an Uchiha I'd have started crying from laughing so hard.
"Teme, what the hell?"
I'd tried to say it then. I'd opened my mouth, started with "Naruto...I..." and then I'd frozen. I couldn't get the words out.
Oh God...my life had just become a clichéd teenage drama. What if Mizuki-sensei was right and I started to sparkle in the fucking sunlight?
Well if any student would turn into a poodle when constipated, I'd peg it as Kiba.
I groaned, letting my head bump against my hand as I walked beside Naruto. He sent me an odd look, silently asking what was wrong, but all I could do was shake my head. I couldn't tell him about my inner monologues of corny romance novel-worthy drama.
As we neared the school gates, I kept looking over at Naruto. What would he think about it? Would he freak out if I just asked him or would he actually consider it? Kabuto's trial will end this week, and Naruto only has to be there to witness it I suppose...but will he be ready for what I want?
Would I be selfish enough to demand it after all he went through?
"-asuke? Yo Sasuke? You okay?"
I blinked, only now noticing the hand waving in my face. Unsurprisingly it was Naruto, and I felt a little guilty at the concerned look in his eyes. Grabbing his hand, I kissed his knuckles softly to reassure him.
"Hn. I'm fine."
Naruto just smiled, a little confused. "Uh okay...well anyway, Shikamaru's been calling you for like, five minutes now. He wants to talk to you or something." Naruto nodded over to the left where Shikamaru was now standing alone, staring at me. I nodded, leaning down to give Naruto a quick kiss...well it was intended to be quick, I swear.
"Oi, oi, break it up! No one needs to see that!" Kiba grumbled as he walked past with the girls. I flipped him off but broke away from Naruto, walking over to Shikamaru while he followed the dog-loving freak.
"What's up?"
Shikamaru sent me a steady look, one that I knew he gave when he was making evaluations in his mind. It was the same one he'd given me when we'd first figured out we played Shaiya together.
Finally, he sighed. "What's eating you?" he asked.
I rubbed my forehead with my hand in aggravation. It figures Shikamaru would be the first to realize that I was acting weird due to internal struggles. Nodding towards the building, we began a slow walk to class.
"I'm...I'm thinking of asking Naruto...to—"
"Sasuke, if you utter the words 'marry me' I will slap you across the face," Shikamaru said blankly. I smirked, placing my hands in my pocket.
"No, Shikamaru. I'm not that stupid and dramatic," I sighed, looking over at him. Of all the people to talk about this with, was he really the best? Did Shikamaru even know the first thing about the subject or was he as clueless as I was when it came to that area? "I want to take our relationship to the next level." Shikamaru sent me a look, showing his suspicions and silently demanding I confirm them.
I did.
"I want to ask him to have sex with me."
I suppose I should be thankful that it was Shikamaru standing there when I said that, since he knew how to keep a secret. The moment the words left my mouth, it was like someone shoved all the Uchiha training out of me and replaced it with that of a fumbling, bumbling, idiotic geek. My face burned and I had to lean against the wall as thoughts of what I'd just said and all it entailed echoed in my mind. Saying it so bluntly really put it in perspective for me, and holy shit was I seeing it. I could picture it now, the night it would happen, the setting and the feelings and the sensations, and that both disturbed me and turned me on.
A hand on my shoulder snapped me out of my sudden daze of day-wet-dreams and I looked up into the eyes of one very bored looking genius.
"Sasuke...proceed with extreme caution and make sure that you are both ready for it before trying. That's all I'm willing to offer on this subject."
Shikamaru turned and left the hall, leaving me alone to gather my Uchiha-wits about me and compose myself. Once that was done, I quickly headed for class. I didn't want to have to explain why I was late.
'Oh sorry, sir. I was busy having wet dreams during the day about sleeping with my boyfriend and I got a little side-tracked.' That would go over splendidly.
Not.
As I entered class, Naruto walked up, brushing his hand over mine gently.
"Are you sure you're okay?"
Looking him in the eye, I was tempted to pull him away and tell him what was really bothering me.
"Yes, I'm sure, Dobe."
I'll have an order of Lies with a side of Guilt please!
Today was going to be a long day.
~Naruto POV~
The past two weeks have been great...
For Kiba that is.
Ever since his fight with Neji, he and Hinata have really hit it off. They've been spending more and more time together, and Kiba's been a lot happier since. I'm glad they're hitting it off so well really.
But I've got a problem of my own.
And its name is Sasuke.
I'm not sure what's been bugging him lately, but he's been acting strange. He's more distant, he keeps spacing out and more than once I've caught him giving me these really weird looks, as if he was hungry and I looked like a big tomato for him to sink his teeth into.
...
That sounded so fucking Vampire's Suck right there, but it's the truth.
But of course, being an anti-social bastard, he won't tell me what's eating him so I'm left to sit with his moodiness and broodiness and subsequent stares of impending cannibalism.
Oh goody.
Stupid twat.
"Is it just me or is Sasuke acting weird?" I asked while everyone worked in Maths. Mizuki was busy working on worksheets-pun not intended- and too busy calculating to pay attention to the few whispering wonder-kids in the class. Sakura looked up from her own work and hummed softly in thought.
"I guess he has been acting a bit odd. But...I think I know why," she tilted her head, looking over at Sasuke. I followed her lead and there he was, giving me the look that made me feel like it would be wise to invest in some pepper spray and anti-cannibal armour. As soon as he caught us looking, he started slightly and turned back to his worksheet.
I stared at him for a few seconds before turning to Sakura, a resigned look on my face. "He's plotting my imminent demise isn't he?"
Sakura smiled. "Possibly."
"Oh that's reassuring, Sakura-chan," I said, rolling my eyes. She just giggled and went back to work, a soft mutter all that she gave in parting.
"The imminent demise of your innocence maybe..."
"Wha—"
"Uzumaki, as riveting as I'm sure your conversation with Haruno is, I'd really prefer it of you focused on your work and didn't give me any extra paper-work to do today," Mizuki interrupted, sighing and rubbing his eyes tiredly. I nodded, quickly turning back to my own work with a soft apology.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Sasuke give me that look again.
Note to self: Respect tomatoes...you now know how they feel under the gaze of one Uchiha Sasuke.
The rest of the class passed by easily, and one the bell rang I quickly packed my bag and sidled up to Sasuke. He was still finishing up a few sums on his worksheet, and that only proved to surprise me more.
Since when did Sasuke not finish work before class was over?
...That's it. This proves it.
Sasuke's inner circuits were malfunctioning. It's the only explanation...
Well, that or he was abducted by identity stealing aliens and I'm looking at a faulty imposter.
That could be true too.
"Hey Sasu?"
Okay, now I'm more certain than ever about the alien theory...Sasuke just jumped. Sasuke never jumps like that.
He looked up, his eyes a bit wider than usual. "Oh...Hi Naruto."
I stared at him.
"...That's it?" I asked slowly, "'Hi Naruto'? That's all you're going to say?"
Sasuke blinked and nodded slowly.
"Yes?"
"No, 'Hn, Dobe' or 'What is it, moron' or even 'Hey there hot-stuff, what say you and I go find a nice closet somewhere and get funky together?'" I finished, leaning against his desk and crossing my arms. He stared up at me, his expression turning odd after my last example of what he could've said.
After a minute of total silence, I sighed loudly. "Come on Sasuke, tell me what's bothering you! You've been acting strange lately and it's starting to creep me out!" I snapped, losing patience as I pulled him from his seat. He was still in that weird daze, so I groaned and started to toss his things into his bag before dragging him from the classroom. He didn't snap out of his daze until we had reached the English classroom, where Itachi was already waiting for us.
"My dear baby brother and pseudo-brother of baby-ness, how nice to see you!" Itachi greeted, letting us into the classroom ahead of the other students. I stuck my tongue out at Itachi while Sasuke just walked to his desk, still silent. Itachi smirked, his hand reaching up to flick my face near my mouth.
"Careful, Naruto-kun, or next time I'll rip that tongue of yours clean out of your mouth. And then Sasuke would be on my case until it got reattached," Itachi snickered when I covered my mouth defensively.
"Geez, are all the Uchiha guys this violent? Where did you come from?.!"
"Well Naruto-kun, when a man and woman love each other very much, and have raging hormones, they find a nice, soft and bouncy bed where the woman lies on her back, stomach or however she wishes and then the man takes his pe—"
"OOOOKAY! I GET IT! I GET IT!" I yelled, covering my ears and rushing to my seat while the Spawn of Satan laughed like a loon. Honestly, every time that guy opened his mouth, an innocent child somewhere began screaming bloody murder.
The class filled in and once everyone was seated, Itachi launched into the lesson. We were currently reading a long, boring book about some old legend of something or other- if you didn't guess, I had no clue what the book was about, what it was called or who even wrote it- and in the end it was boring and I had better things to do.
Like try and figure out what the hell was up with Sasuke. Resting my chin on my hand, I surreptitiously glanced at him, noticing the way his eyes were unfocused and his lips were slightly parted.
He was lost in thought over something big. I could tell. Whatever it was that was bugging him was enough to make him lose focus. It was enough to bring down his Uchiha-coolness to average human levels.
It must've been big.
...
Maybe he was trying to solve world hunger?
Nah, that's way too kind for him. Maybe he's contemplating the many different ways to use tomatoes in food. I'm sure that would keep him busy.
But enough to lose focus even in school?
"Little brother, step up to the front and read this next paragraph, if you please," Itachi called, not looking up from his own book.
There was silence.
After a full minute Itachi looked up, along with several other students, only to see Sasuke still in his seat, his eyes unfocused and his book lying open in front of him. Itachi frowned.
"Sasuke."
Sasuke jumped-again-and looked over at him, raising an eyebrow in question.
"Please stand up and read the paragraph," Itachi continued, nodding his head to the front. Sasuke swallowed; standing and grabbing his book before slowly making his way to the front. He bit his lip, looking at the page before sighing and looking to Itachi.
"...Which paragraph, sir?"
Holy shit-balls.
Was Sasuke just polite to Itachi?
That's it. It was official. My poor hard-assed boyfriend has been abducted by identity thieving aliens and is probably lying on his stomach on an examination table somewhere, getting some large probe shoved up his ass.
The stick up there will finally have company.
Itachi seemed to be just as thrown off as I was, but he composed himself a lot better than me-my elbow had slipped and my jaw hit the table- and he quickly pointed somewhere in his own book.
"Third paragraph, little brother."
Sasuke didn't even scowl at the nickname, instead letting his eyes find the page. Clearing his throat, he began to read out loud.
" 'With a fluid grace, she made her way over to the pale man, her hair shining in the golden sunlight like a gem amidst a sea of blackened coals. His eyes followed her every move like a hawk waiting for its prey to arrive, and as she seated herself at the table, he caught the scent of her perfume on a rogue breeze. The smell enticed him, and like a moth to the flame he moved forward, his hands reaching out for her. She was surprised by his sudden move and leant away, her large...'" Sasuke took a breath, his face tightening, " 'Her large blue eyes filled with shy questioning. As he moved closer she shied away from his touch, the beginnings of fear colouring her sapphire eyes and her soft features. She was...s-scared of him now. He offered a smile, hoping to reassure her that he meant her no harm, no ill intent...only his utmost affection, devotion and...and love.'" Sasuke snapped his book shut and tossed it onto his desk.
Itachi frowned, stepping forward. "Sasuke, is something wrong?"
Sasuke glared at him. "Fuck you," he spat.
Everyone was taken aback, and Itachi's face melted into a cold stone mask of indifference. But I knew that he was surprised, confused, and secretly very much hurt at the cold words. With swift and precise movements, he moved to the front of the room.
"As your teacher, I'm giving you detention for that on Friday." Itachi quickly wrote on a slip while Sasuke stood nearby, glaring at him. I watched apprehensively as Itachi handed the small pink slip of paper to Sasuke, who practically ripped it from his hands. Slowly, Itachi stood up and towered over Sasuke.
It was scary that Sasuke stood his ground this time. Something was so wrong.
"And as your older brother..." Itachi began slowly, and his hand moved.
I stood up as a smack echoed while the rest of the class gasped. Sasuke's eyes were wide as he faced the board, his cheek turning red from the hit. Itachi looked as cold as stone as he stared down at him, his hand slowly falling to his side.
"I'm teaching you a lesson. Don't take out your pathetic insecurities with yourself on me, foolish little brother." And with that, Itachi sat down. "Get out of my class, Sasuke."
Sasuke didn't hesitate before he was out the door.
I bit my lip, turning to face Itachi. He was breathing heavily through his nose, the only sign that showed how unsettled he truly was; a sign that only I knew to look for. I took a breath before walking up to his desk.
"May I please go and talk to him?"
Itachi rubbed his face with his hand while I blocked him from view from the class before he heaved a soundless sigh.
"Alright," he said softly, and I nodded my thanks before moving towards the door. Before I left completely, Itachi called out. "Naruto..."
I turned and Itachi looked me dead in the eye. "Don't take anything he says to heart...he's struggling with something and he's always been the type to lash out. Forgive him in advance."
I smiled, nodding. "I know, Pseudo-big brother." And with that I left in search of my wayward boyfriend.
~Sasuke POV~
The sounds of birds chirping was all I could hear from my spot behind the school in the shade of some trees. My cheek still stung from the solid slap Itachi had given me, and gingerly I prodded the bruising area.
I had only seen Itachi that way once before and it was towards our father...back when he'd been obsessed with his work and neglecting us. Itachi had had enough when I was ten and I'd cried because father shooed me away on my birthday so he could work. Itachi had entered his study, and an hour later father had come out looking as close to tears as he'd probably ever get.
Ever since then he's always made time for us one way or another.
I felt bad for saying that to Itachi. I know that he hadn't done anything wrong. There was no way he'd meant for it...
But that paragraph...that story.
It was way too close to what I feared than I found comfortable and I'd snapped. And that was the truth.
It wasn't so much the guilt of asking the question; I understood that now. The reason the whole issue about sex had been bugging me was because I was scared that, should I ask it, Naruto would become scared and leave me.
I got it now.
'Don't take out your pathetic insecurities with yourself on me, foolish little brother.'
"Shit." I let my head fall into my hands, the look in Itachi's eyes haunting my memory.
I really shouldn't have said that to him. I had no right to be angry with him.
But damn...
You were in the wrong place at the wrong time, big brother.
But what's done is done. I couldn't take back the words I said to him. Only two words yet they had done such damage. I'd hurt Itachi undeservingly on his part, and now it was up to me to make it better.
It's at moments like these that I hate being a emotionally awkward. I'm not good with apologies.
The faint sound of footsteps alerted me to the oncoming person, but I just couldn't lift my head. It was probably a teacher, coming to scold me for skipping class or something. But it's not like I was really...Itachi kicked me out.
Holy shit...my brother kicked me out...
That's bad.
I sighed, as whoever it was came to a stop in front of me. Waiting for the imminent questioning, I wondered how to explain why I was out here.
I was very much surprised when a pair of arms wrapped around me in a hug, and I jerked back only to see blond hair.
Naruto.
"Are you going to tell me what's making you act this way, or must I just leave you to be prissy on your own?"
I swallowed thickly, trying to block out his scent. Seriously he was wearing the damn spray that we'd gotten him, the one my mother knew I liked, and it was not helping me at all.
Slowly, Naruto pulled away and looked me in the eye, his gaze cool but concerned. He wanted an answer...and I couldn't help but want to give him one.
"Naruto...The thing that's been bothering me...I just don't know if I should tell you..." I looked to the side, not sure what to do. Shikamaru had said proceed with caution. Would telling him now be cautious or reckless? I didn't know which was considered which anymore! How the hell was I supposed to proceed with caution when I couldn't even tell which counted as cautious anymore?
Naruto leant back, a small smile on his face. "Sasuke, you can tell me anything! Something is bothering you, and it's making you act strange...And it's affecting more than just you. I'm affected, the rest of our friends are affected...your family is affected. Tell me what's wrong so we can work through it together!"
God, he's so innocently optimistic.
It's too much!
"Naruto," I began, looking all around for a sign, a signal from Heaven to tell me whether this was the right thing or not. "I..."
Naruto frowned, his brows drawing closer together. He was getting impatient.
"Come on Sasuke, you never hesitate over anything! Just spit it out already, dammit!"
"Naruto, I think we should have sex!" I said in a rush before sucking in a breath and holding it, staring wide eyed at my boyfriend.
Who, I might add, had frozen.
After a long while of blank shocked staring between us, Naruto's mouth began to move.
"I'm sorry...could you repeat that? It almost sounded like you said we should...have sex?"
Slowly, with my hands clenching on my arms, I nodded. "I...I did."
More silence followed my confirmation and Naruto slowly sank to his behind, his knees obviously not being strong enough to hold him up anymore. And just like that, the fear that had been struck earlier with the reading was emerging. Naruto wasn't rejecting me, but he wasn't accepting me either. I was waiting in a dark pit of anxiety, wondering what my desires had done to our relationship. Had it destroyed it? Had it strengthened it? Had I just filled in another blank that needed to be filled?
Why wasn't he talking?
"N-Naruto?"
Why wasn't he saying anything? Why was he just sitting there, frozen solid, staring at me like that?
Suddenly, he took a breath, blinking before looking at his hands. He seemed to be thinking.
...
Was that good? Was it bad? What was going to happen now?
So many questions, and yet not a single answer was going to be pulled from the sky. I could feel sweat forming on my brow from my anxiety. I wish he would say something...anything...anything to break this unbearable silence filled with the harsh beating of a desperate wait.
"Na—"
"I..." I stopped talking as he spoke, leaning closer as I waited for him to continue. He fidgeted with his hands, his eyes darting around. "I...Sasuke I don't know...I mean...It's a big step. How long have we been going out?"
"Just over four months," I replied immediately, swallowing quickly. Naruto bit his lip.
"That's not very long; when you think about it...Sasuke I don't know if we're ready. Not just me but you too..." He ran a hand through his hair, his eyes briefly looking at me before darting away while his cheeks turned red. I sucked in another breath.
He wasn't accepting me, per say, but he definitely wasn't totally rejecting me. He wasn't saying 'Hell no, I'm breaking up with you!' or running away screaming.
That was a good thing, right?
"S-so...you want to wait some more?" I asked, shifting slightly. I felt so nervous. It was like I was a stranger in my own body.
Naruto suddenly blushed even more, his fingers tapping on his thigh nervously. He glanced at me again before looking away.
"W-Well...I...I'm...That is...You...I..."
Translation: Actually no, I was hoping you'd argue about waiting and convince me that now was okay.
"Naruto," I reached forward slowly, grabbing his fidgety hands tightly. I waited until he looked me in the eye before speaking again. "Do you, yourself, want to do it with me? Honestly?"
Naruto bit his lip again, and I worried that it would begin to bleed under the abuse.
"Yes..."
The whisper was so soft I almost missed it, but the world seemed to sink into absolute silence once I heard it. The leaves skittering across the floor made no noise, the breeze didn't stir me at all.
The world had frozen and narrowed down to Naruto and his blushing, embarrassed and ever so sincere face.
"...Wait, really?" I asked, disbelieving that I'd heard right.
Naruto nodded slowly, still looking utterly embarrassed. His hands shook slightly in mine, and I squeezed them tighter.
"You...You really want to have sex with me? You're serious?"
"Dammit Teme! Yes I'm serious! I want to go all the way with you! How many more times must I confirm that?" Naruto snapped, his face now a lovely shade of crimson.
And there I was.
Sitting behind the school with my boyfriend; holding his hands in my own as he confessed that he would actually like to take that large step with me and go all the way. That he would actually like to do it with me.
"Holy shit!" I laughed, surprising both Naruto and myself. I pulled myself together, pushing down the urges to ask him 'Is now fine? Can we go now?' because even I knew that was too much to ask. Instead, I scooted closer and pulled him into a kiss, feeling the way he was shy all of a sudden before he kissed back. Pulling away, I smiled and rested my forehead against his.
"I should've known not to panic..." I mumbled, feeling stupid for ever having doubted it all in the first place. But then again I had reason. Naruto hummed in question, his eyes closed.
"I was afraid that if I brought up the subject, you would freak out and leave me." I felt a soft press of his lips on mine and knew it was his way of reassuring me that that wasn't the case. "I guess I just thought that, after the whole thing with that bastard Kabuto...you'd be unwilling to do it with me."
Naruto let out a shaky breath, his head moving from side to side slightly. I glanced up at him, my head still resting by his, and he slowly looked at me. His eyes were shining with affection with a hint of hesitation, but above all there was trust.
"I am nervous...and I don't think it'll be very easy for me, at least not right now. But I...I do want to do it. And I trust that you won't do anything to hurt me." His voice shook near the end and I dived forward for a quick kiss, making sure to let my emotions show.
"Never...I would never," I breathed, littering his face with short kisses. He smiled, nodding slowly.
"But...Just give me some time to wrap my head around it, okay? A few days..."
"As long as you need, Naru. I can wait," I assured, bumping my head against his. I just wanted to be close to him now; to show him that I was there for him and I wouldn't ever try to force him into anything. Slowly, I moved closer and wrapped my arms around him, bringing him closer in a tight embrace. He sighed, sinking into my arms and resting his head against my shoulder.
"Thank you Sasuke."
I held him tighter, leaning down to kiss him again. Slowly, I licked at his lips until he granted me entrance, and I eagerly, yet gently, explored the familiar territory. He sighed under me, returning my kisses and pressing closer.
It was moments like these that I treasured. Moments where we were alone together, just sharing a simple touch and kiss, or talking. Even sitting in silence, holding each other, was enough to make my cold heart swell and burn with happiness.
As sappy and pathetic as that sounded...
The kisses started out innocent, I promise, but...well we were all alone behind the school where no one could see or hear us at this time of day...
How could I resist the opportunity to molest Naruto?
Smirking, I let my hands roam down until they slid under his shirt. He jumped at the contact as I moved down to bite and lick at his neck, already betting with my inner self on how many hickeys I could give him before we had to return to class. As we slid down with Naruto on his back and me hovering over him, I barely heard the soft sigh of relief and the gentle mutter.
"And my bastard is back."
"Hn."
~Naruto POV~
I sighed, rubbing the large bruises on my neck as I lay down on my bed.
I had never expected that that was what had been bothering Sasuke this whole time. Sure, I'd given the passing thought to the idea of us going all the way, but so soon? It wasn't what I had expected.
But at the same time...it felt like we'd been together for so much longer than just over four months. And I did trust Sasuke. I meant every word I said to him. I knew that he wouldn't ever try to hurt me, and that if I wasn't comfortable at the time he would give me the option to back out.
But I didn't want to back out...I wanted this.
Groaning, I rolled over onto my stomach. I knew that I wasn't ready just yet. I still needed a few days to get over the shock and wrap my head around it all, but I felt like I could be ready soon. I could give Sasuke what he wanted...what he needed.
What I needed...
But for now I had a headache. I'd leave all the serious thinking for later.
After our make-out session behind the school, during which Sasuke's mouth made-out with almost every inch of my damn body, we'd returned in time to grab our bags. Itachi had been out, so Sasuke didn't have the chance to apologise. I told him that he had to do it when he saw Itachi tonight, because he had been in the wrong. Itachi hadn't deserved it.
Sakura had questioned me on Sasuke's behaviour, and at first I wasn't sure what to tell her. But she was my best friend, so I told the truth.
Surprisingly, she'd just smiled, said she knew it, and told me to be careful. She also said that if Sasuke hurt me she'd personally castrate him before disembowelling him slowly.
It was nice to have a caring, slightly psychotic, friend looking out for me. But it seemed that aside from keeping an eye on me from a distance, Sakura wasn't going to get very involved in mine and Sasuke business. Instead she spent more time with Shikamaru. Apparently, he'd found something interesting about Shaiya, and he and Sakura were checking it out. I didn't know what it was but honestly I didn't much care. I had bigger things to deal with.
"Hey Naruto, you in there?"
My eyes widened as I turned to look at my wall.
Kiba.
I totally forgot about him and his strange obsession of keeping me a virgin. What would we do when he found out? We couldn't do the deed here, Kiba would hear it and probably come bashing through my door with a chainsaw.
I rather wanted Sasuke to stay in one piece, thank you very much.
But I felt weird about doing it at his parent's house...there was just something strange at the thought. When I was there, although we still kissed, hugged, cuddled and molested-Sasuke did anyway- it was still like a home with Mikoto as the mom, Fugaku as the dad, Itachi as that psychotic child no one talked about and Sasuke as the son. I didn't think of Sasuke as a brother, really, but...somehow I just couldn't think of doing it in the Uchiha house.
So then where?
It's not like we had many choices...
"Naruto? You okay?"
I snapped out of my thoughts at the insistent banging and quickly lifted my head enough to speak.
"Yeah! I'm fine, just tired!"
"...You sure?"
"Yeah, Kiba. Thanks for the concern."
"Okay...Well, I'm here if you need me."
"Thanks Kiba."
While Kiba receded, I rolled onto my back and stared up at the ceiling.
So much was on my mind now.
Sasuke, sex with Sasuke, hiding from Kiba, school work and life itself...
My headache was getting worse.
"Hey Naruto, just a heads-up! They're going to cut off the hot water for a while in the building while repairs are being done. So don't expect a hot shower till morning!" Kiba yelled through the wall.
I sighed, lifting my arm and sniffing.
Gross...I really needed a shower.
But there was no hot water...
Sometimes, even now, I still disliked my life a little bit.
Well there you have it!
Naruto and Sasuke are gonna do the deed!
BUT!
There are no lemons in this story, so you will NOT actually read it...but you should all already know this, I did put a note in one AN on a chapter that this story was to REMAIN T-Rated when it came to lemonade...
Anyhoo...not much to say tonight...so onto the preview!
Kao: WHAT ABOUT US? We haven't made our appearance yet!
Me: Do you actually have anything to say?
Kao: YES!...well...er...no not really...
Me: EXACTLY! So toegesluit aan, jy gek.
Kao: DON'T USE A LANGUAGE I DON'T KNOW! THAT'S NOT FAIR! D:
Me: Pfft, dude I hardly know it either...I had to google some of the words. :'D
Kao: Cheater.
Me: Muahahaha!
PREVIEW!
The trial with Kabuto finally comes to an end. What is the result? Sasuke needs to plan out how to make his first time with Naruto perfect, but he's rather clueless. Will anyone be able to help him? Meanwhile, Sakura convinces Hinata to help her keep Kiba distracted in order to give the guys a chance at a peaceful night...how will that go?
