A Raven's Guide to Seducing a Blonde

Chapter 22: Take Me with you, Baby

Sasuke had barely stepped into the diner and he was met with a very fast and angry fist to his face. He fell hard against the glass door, causing the majority of the diner to gasp. Kushina couldn't believe what she just witnessed. She had never seen her son get violent before. Nagato pinned the raven against the door with a threatening look in his eye.

"Nobody, and I mean nobody hurts my family. You understand?" he said threateningly to him. "Do us a favour and walk out that door and don't return".

"Nagato!" Kushina screamed. "That's enough, please!"

He slowly let go of Sasuke and let out a sigh. "If it wasn't for my mom, you wouldn't be getting off this lightly".

Sasuke coughed in pain. "What the fuck was that for?!"

"What was it for? That was for my brother! How dare you hurt him like that. Were you sulking that much when he tried to do the right thing for you? Was fucking his best friend your way of throwing your toys out of the pram? I think you're so used to getting what you want that you just can't handle-"

"Please, Nagato!" Sasuke pleaded, "I didn't fuck anyone you have got it all wrong!"

"Oh please!" he shouted grabbing the neck of his shirt.

"I'm telling the truth!" Sasuke protested.

"Nagato, let him go!" Kushina shouted angrily. "Violence never solves anything, you should know better".

Sasuke felt so frustrated that no one was letting him explain himself. He couldn't take this anymore. His father… his brother… his boyfriend… he couldn't think straight and all of his thoughts shut down. Tears had escaped his hollow eyes as he stopped struggling to get out of Nagato's grasp.

"NAGATO!" Sasuke heard a familiar voice, which in his brain had registered in a distorted way as if his head was underwater.

"Let him go now" Naruto had appeared from the back of the diner. "What the fuck do you think you are doing, look at him!" he said as he snatched Sasuke's shirt of out Nagato's grasp and pushed him back.

"Naruto… I was just-"

"I know what you were doing but look at him, he's shaken," he said as he held his boyfriend. Naruto led him outside of the diner so there was less of an audience.

"Sasuke… hey," he said as he held his face in his hands. "Are you alright?"

The raven nodded.

"I'm sorry, Nagato never does anything like that I don't know what got into him"

"I'm so sorry" Sasuke wept, "I'm so so so so sorry, baby"

"Hey, it's okay we will talk about yeah? I'm sorry for ignoring you I was just… upset"

Sasuke found it hard to catch his breath. He held onto Naruto for support just as he felt his legs get weak.

"Come on, sit down," the blonde said worryingly as he helped the man onto the bench across the parking lot.

They sat in comfortable silence for a few minutes, Sasuke had his head on Naruto's shoulder with the blonde's arm comfortably around his shoulders. They listened to the heavy wind blowing through the trees, it was so peaceful. Sasuke's mind begun to clear and he no longer felt uneasy. Whenever he was in Naruto's presence, it put him at ease. He couldn't lose this not ever. Sasuke lifted his head off Naruto's shoulder and smiled at him.

"Thank you, I needed that"

Naruto winked at him, despite the pain and confusion he was feeling. "It was my fault that Nagato came after you"

"How was it your fault?"

"I told Minato about what happened at Shikamaru's. He told me he mentioned it to Nagato when he turned up at the house this morning".

"What exactly do they think happened?" he paused for a second and then took Naruto's hand, "Actually more importantly, what do you think happened?"

The blonde looked Sasuke dead in the eye, "Did you fuck my best friend?"

"No! Not at all! I can't believe you would even think that…" he said, saddened at the thought.

"I'm sorry… I had to ask. So… nothing happened between you two?"

"No Naruto, we didn't do anything at all. I'm fully committed to you, always have been and always will be. I would never do that to do you even if we aren't together"

"So… What was all that about with Shikamaru? Could you explain it to me?"

"I'll… start from the beginning. Two or three months after you went to prison, I wasn't exactly… coping well. I couldn't find enough things to occupy myself with so the nightmares, they started. It's just like I told you the night you got back, at prom. Although I wasn't only having bad dreams about you, I started having bad dreams about my brother too"

"How come you didn't tell me?"

"I hadn't told you about my brother yet, so it would've been hard to explain"

Naruto nodded in response and held his hand waiting for him to continue.

"Most of my thoughts went to my brother, why he wasn't coming back for me, was he even still alive? Did he get the help he needed or did he just stay mentally unstable? I knew nothing and my mind was creating so many scenarios that I thought I was going to go mad. I had no one to talk to, no one to… comfort me…"

The blonde frowned, feeling guilty that he wasn't able to be there for him.

"…Did I convince myself that perhaps he needed me to save him? Or to find him instead? My head went back to that young boy who broke his brother out of his room and it was all I could think about. I was scared to do it on my own and I felt like I needed to talk to someone I trusted about it before I made any decision as to whether or not I should pursue these theories I was creating in my head. That's when I went onto the internet and searched for a way in the system where I could visit you or talk to you without you needing to give me permission…"

"Sasuke…"

"It's alright", he smiled, "I knew it was a longshot, I guess it was just an excuse. Anyway whilst I was searching I came across an article with an image of a girl I recognised"

"Who was it?" Naruto asked.

"It was my brother's girlfriend"

"Oh, the one your father wouldn't let date?"

"Yes, that's right. At first, I didn't click as to who she was at first because my memory of her was mostly my brother just speaking of her and I only met her a couple of times I think. So I curiously read the article and it turns out it was an interview she did when she was attending Brown University"

"Brown…?"

"Yes. That's where the university drama comes in"

Naruto nodded again, worried about what was going to come next.

"So as I read the article, it was a pretty basic interview about her experiences working for the Uchiha's businesses. It was a very positive review actually, which was strange because she had to resign when they didn't support her decision to go to University and take Itachi with her. I never really got the reason why Itachi wasn't allowed to date her, I know nothing about her. There are so many missing pieces to the story. Anyways I would spend hours and days looking for this girl since she had already graduated"

"Why did you want to find her?"

"Because I got the idea into my head that if I find her, I find Itachi"

"Really?"

"It made sense at the time. Itachi was locked away because my father was stopping him from leaving the company to move away to University with her. So I figured the first place he would go once I broke him out, was to her. I mean, where else would he go?"

"Yeah, that makes the most sense"

"At this point, I felt a sort of accomplishment as if I was getting closer to finding my brother. So I got obsessed with looking for this woman on social media but I couldn't find anything. My dad's security and the house employees kept a close eye on me as requested from my parents since I wasn't coping when you were taken away, so it wasn't as if I could casually drive and find her. So this was the only thing I could do, and when I hit a dead-end I got frustrated".

"So what did you do next? Where does Shikamaru fit into this?"

"Well, after that I kind of gave up. I hit a low point and when I was at school, Shikamaru noticed. He tried to help me socialise and to focus on my studies but I had given up on everything. Everyone was beginning to send off their college applications and I had told Shikamaru that I'm not going to bother, because I didn't see the point"

"Why not?"

"Well, I was just sulking at the time I guess, but Shika thought I was suicidal"

"You… weren't, were you?" Naruto asked, panicking.

Sasuke took both of Naruto's hand to reassure him. "No baby, no don't worry. He was just jumping to the wrong conclusions, it happens" he said as he winked at the blonde.

"Pfft, I deserved that" he chuckled, causing the raven to smile.

"So yeah, he went into a full-on rant telling me how precious life is and how many options I have, that I have the potential to go to any Ivy League school that I wanted to, and mentioned Brown. The word triggered me and when he said that I stopped him and said, you're right. I'll apply if you just shut up"

Naruto laughed, "That sounds more like you!" he teased.

"Yeah well, he was going on a bit"

"Be grateful, when Shikamaru talks a lot especially as passionately as that, it means you're important to him. It's rare, cherish it!"

"Okay, Okay, Jeeze…" he chuckled. "Well after that, I got the idea that if I went to Brown, I could find out more about the girl and it would bring me closer to finding Itachi"

"So you were planning it all the way back then?"

"It was only a couple of months ago, Naruto" he chuckled.

"Sasuke you seem to forget that I was in prison, TIME DOESN'T EXIST IN THERE" he huffed, wearing the cutest pout he had ever seen.

"My bad." Sasuke planted a small kiss on his pouting lips. "So I accidentally said that about the girl in Brown to Shikamaru, which he obviously didn't know what I was talking about. Initially, I was thinking out loud. He asked me why I wanted to find a girl from Brown, and all I told him was that I needed to find someone who I lost a while ago, so If I get accepted into multiple universities and Brown is one of them, that's the one I will definitely choose"

"Ooooooh…"

"What?"

"Nothing… that's… just what Shikamaru said"

"Oh really? No shit"

"Sasuke!"

"Well you should've just come and spoken to me, idiot"

"In my defence, he acted pretty shadily as if you two were keeping secrets!"

"How was he acting shady?"

"Because… well, he was saying things like, OH WELL THAT'S NOT WHAT SASUKE SAID BLAH BLAH"

"I've… not seen you this… jealous before"

"I wasn't jealous!" he huffed, "Just…. Suspicious"

"Okay, I will admit that Shikamaru should've at least explained a little bit so that you didn't think something else had happened"

"THANK YOU"

Sasuke shook his head and laughed. "You're adorable"

"Heh… so um, you told me about your brother at my house just before we went to Brown. How come you never told me the real reason why you were going then? You still kept this from me"

"Honestly? I forgot all about it"

"You seriously expect me to believe that?"

"It's true! I only had that to focus on but then you surprised me at prom. After a short time, I felt happy again because we… you know, fucked, made love, fell for each other again and we became exclusive. Everything I had ever wanted since the day I met you. There was nothing else I could focus on. It was a ridiculous plan and I put it out of my mind because I conjured it through depression and manic nightmares, I didn't want to chase after a phantom. I was going to therapy and was advised to just let it go. And I SWEAR, when I was telling you about my brother and the universities I was torn between, I honestly and whole-heartedly did forget about it. I was too busy worrying about what was going to happen to us".

"So you didn't tell Shikamaru about the whole thing being a plan conjured by your obsessive manic depression episodes?"

"Yeah, something like that and this is why Shikamaru still thought that I was dead set on going to Brown. But I do fully believe that the reason why he didn't tell you is that he didn't want to rub in the fact-"

"-The fact that I would probably be upset that he got to be with you in Brown and we… would possibly suffer from it…" Naruto interrupted, finally understanding this whole misunderstood situation.

"Exactly. Do you understand now?"

"It all makes sense, yes"

"You're so silly, you know that blondie?"

"Hey! Be careful or ill whoop your ass" he teased.

"Aah please don't. I've had enough of that from your brother"

"I'm sorry about that," the blonde said as he traced his finger on his reddened cheek. "I hope that's not going to bruise. Your pale skin doesn't help, as beautiful as it is" he kissed it, and nuzzled his nose with Sasuke's, leading into a passionate and apologetic kiss. Naruto felt so guilty jumping to such conclusions. The effects of possibly losing Sasuke was causing him to think irrationally. He was so scared of losing him that he didn't think he was going to be able to live without him. In fact, we were pretty certain it was impossible.

"I don't want you to leave," Naruto said as he pulled away from the kiss. "Sasuke…"

"It's alright, okay? I'm staying"

"What, you can't… what about your father… you're…"

"Don't worry about that, I can deal with it. If it means I get to stay here with you then, I'll do anything. You're worth it"

"You're… very sweet you know that Sasuke? But… I can't. I cannot let you put yourself through the misery of being stuck under your father's authority, just for me. I couldn't live with the guilt"

"Naruto…"

"No, Sasuke. I would never forgive myself. Not after what he did to your brother. Would he even let me date you still?"

"Actually… he wanted me to cut all contact with you when I moved"

"He… really?"

"Mhm. Of course, I would never let him do that"

"Sasuke, staying here is not an option for you"

"What does that mean for us?"

"Actually…" he said as he looked towards the diner, noticing his brother watching out of the window, "… that's creepy" he laughed… "Anyways Minato gave me something this morning"

"What did he give you?"

Naruto pulled out the cash card that Minato had gave him this morning.

"A bank card?"

"It has savings in it. My mom added to it when she could"

"That's sweet of her" Sasuke smiled.

"I checked the balance. It's… actually quite a lot. Enough to rent a place for a few months at least"

"Rent a place?"

Naruto smiled at Sasuke. He leaned in for another kiss and grasped his boyfriend tightly almost sitting on his lap.

"Take me with you, baby"

To be continued.
