Summary: Naruto found out that his boyfriend of eight years got a girl pregnant. Not one to deprive a kid of their own father, he chose to break things off; ignoring his own broken heart. Then a gentleman came and took his mind off the hurtful things by... well, singing him sweet songs.

I'm just a rookie so I don't have any idea what a songfic is or how it is written. If anyone could tell, it is highly appreciated. I included some song lyrics in this fic that can probably give some of you goose bumps because, really, even I think that it's a bit too corny. But I need this for the plot, so spare me! *wink*

CHAPTER 9
"Hey, blondie! Time for dinner! The boss made a super special meal for you, hoping you'd cheer up! Come on!"
"Ossu!" Naruto shouted back with enthusiasm as he was called by his friend and also a senior in the bar he was working recently.
He had been working part time in this hotel bar for around three months already while working as a freelance web designer.
His godfather offered him a place to stay in Miyako Island, Okinawa Prefecture. He was living there for almost a year already.
He was very out of it first, always staying home and locking himself out of people's sight – but meeting his friend, Inuzuka Kiba, coincidentally in a restaurant somewhere around the shopping district, made him cheer up for a bit.
"You're late, Naruto. What were you doing? You suddenly became quiet recently, that's so not like you, c'mon!" Kiba said, putting his arms around the blonde's shoulder and egging him to be cheerful already. Naruto laughed while he use his right elbow to nudge at his friend's side, making Kiba double over in pain.
"Fuck you, that hurt!" Kiba grabbed Naruto's head and used his other hand to mess with his blonde hair – making Naruto laugh.
"Oi, oi, oi. Go and get your food or Chouji will hog'em all." The lazy voice of their other co-worker, Nara Shikamasru, called out to them.
"Oh, that's right. Can't have that." Kiba said as he let go of Naruto and jogged around to the back kitchen, leaving the blonde behind.
Naruto did his best to straighten up again, then he started walking towards the kitchen, but then he felt his stomach hurt – he doubled over as the pain increased in one breath – Shikamaru coming to his rescue.
"Oi, Naruto! What's the matter?"
Naruto couldn't recall anything strange he ate, rather he didn't have anything from the morning. He felt nauseous, and his breath became ragged.
He had been experiencing this many times the past whole year. He admits to himself that he haven't been really paying attention to having proper meals and instead, drowning himself into his projects as soon as he comes back home after his part time jobs. It wasn't like he's desperate to earn money, as he already had a lot, but he just couldn't stand not doing anything to keep his mind of the things he gave up thinking about since that day he and Sasuke broke up.
His thought came back to Sasuke again, which he tried to forget desperately all this time. He felt himself throw up and then he fell unconscious, making the people around run to him in panic.
After hearing Sasuke's song and realizing that the raven decided to let go of him, Naruto felt nothing but disgust to himself.
How could he hurt the person who truly loved him unconditionally? – Someone who loved him to the point where they were willing to sacrifice their own happiness
He felt that he didn't deserve Sasuke, for he may cause pain again because of his indecisiveness. He loved Sasuke, he loved him truly – but he also loved Neji – that will never change. But to compare the two, and decide which will he choose, this made him felt disgusted to himself.
Neji saw nothing but him. He might have made a mistake, but he truly wished nothing but to be together with Naruto and nothing more – but because Naruto decided to give up on Neji – he caused great amount of pain to the man.
Sasuke was the one who saved his world from completely crumbling over. His gentlemanliness, his sweet words, their fights, their friendship, his love – the raven unconditionally gave him these without asking anything in return.
However, he only hurt the man by being showing how shaken he was whenever he see or hear something about Neji.
He doesn't deserve Sasuke.
He didn't know where to go after that, so he just wandered around aimlessly as the rain started to pour. His phone vibrated. He stopped walking and fished it out of his pocket to see Iruka's mail. He opened it, then read it slowly.
Iruka: I saw the news. Was Neji-kun alright? Have you heard anything from him?
That's right. He ought to find out how Neji was doing. Where should he find the man, though?
While thinking about where and how he would find Neji to make sure he's alright, he found himself in front of the door of the apartment they once shared before. He looked up, and saw that the name plate outside still read 'Hyuuga-Uzumaki'. He smiled a bitter smile.
So Neji didn't put my name down.
He rang the doorbell, and there he met Neji – though he couldn't look the man in the eye for the guilt that was washing all over his system was severe.
However, after hearing the man talk about Kurasawa Manami and his plan to get back to his family – Naruto realized one thing.
I have to make things right.
He decided, and as soon as he turned to look at Neji – he swore to convince the man to seize happiness and never get bounded by the past and the regrets that it brought.
After convincing the man out of his thoughts for revenge, they talked about the thing between them next. He already realized what his heart wanted, so he clearly told Neji that their relationship had already ended – however,
"You are still a very important person to me. And I want us to stay friends as always. Forever."
Naruto smiled.
"Let's see each other again some other time." He lied.
With that, he bid his last farewell to Neji.
Naruto woke up in a hospital bed, wind coming in from the opened window to his right. He watched as the curtain sway back and forth along with the wind and the scene calmed him so much his mind cleared up of things he was thinking about recently.
It was a shock to suddenly see Sasuke talking with his godfather that fateful evening. He was just enjoying another night of his fun work at the bar when he saw his godfather visit him again for the umpteenth time since he started working there. Jiraiya was his late father's mentor, and he had only known the man three years ago – after Kakashi introduced the man to Iruka. It was pure coincidence, but when the old man laid eyes on Naruto, he knew immediately that the young man was his student, Minato's, son.
"Why was he with that perverted geezer?" Naruto heard himself say as he reach out his right hand to the curtain, trying to catch it but it kept slipping from his fingers.
He recalled Sasuke's familiar built and the familiar profile that made his heart skip a beat many times in the past, even now.
He closed his eyes and tried to recall Sasuke's face. It wasn't difficult, for he have always thought of the raven until now, even though a year has already passed.
Naruto broke things off with Neji after realizing that his feelings for the brunette were no longer comparable with his love for Sasuke. He had always thought that Neji had grown too much inside him that he had no way to forget about the guy even if he start a new love with someone else, but it was all a mistake on his side. Even after meeting Neji that night, his mind was only full of Sasuke.
Though they met much later, the bond he shared with Sasuke were the most precious times for him. It started with the playful pretend-lover game, then they became like best friends, and slowly became lovers – and he would admit that he had probably fallen in love with Sasuke faster and harder than he did with Neji.
Sasuke decided to let go of him, though, and he couldn't bear the pain. Even though he knew that Sasuke only did it for him, his confidence that the guy will still be liking him after letting him go went down the drains – and now he still haven't gotten the courage to stand back up and approach the guy instead.
He didn't erase the man's number, and they were still connected on Line – but never did he ever consider reaching for a connection with Sasuke, ever again.
"Haa…" he sighed, his right hand going back to the bed.
He already feel better, though he still didn't know what caused his stomach-ache. He ate the usual last night. Cup ramen and milk.
"How many times have I told you to eat healthy foods instead of that garbage."
The stern voice of Sasuke surrounded the whole room, Naruto suddenly getting pissed at being told off again.
"Ramen is no garbage, you bastard!" Naruto shouted, sitting up and facing Sasuke who stood coolly at the door, arms crossed low against his chest.
Black orbs met blue, and it stayed like that for at least three seconds. Once those three seconds were over – Naruto just suddenly felt his body getting out of the bed. He fell to the floor with his butt hitting the hard surface. He didn't mind it as he was scrambling to get as far away from the approaching Sasuke as possible – to no avail.
He was suddenly caged between Sasuke's arms against the wall and he had nowhere to escape. His hands were clenched against his chest and his head were down very low – his eyes wide in shock at the situation he thought he would never be in his whole life.
Sasuke was there, in front of him. The real Sasuke. It wasn't a dream?
"No it's not, idiot. And you're thinking out loud again, you haven't changed." He heard Sasuke speak against his ear, feeling his breath so close his ears were totally red.
He would die of embarrassment.
"We can't have that." Sasuke said after hearing Naruto think out loud again.
Naruto felt strong arms around his body. He was being embraced tightly by Sasuke.
No… I can't…
"You can't escape." Sasuke whispered against his ear again.
Naruto kept pushing while not understanding why he refuse Sasuke or why Sasuke was even here. He just couldn't comprehend what was happening anymore. He thought Sasuke was too far away already – but since the day he saw the raven in his working place, things about the raven kept flooding his thoughts and he doubted if the Sasuke that was hugging him was part of his delusions.
Not until he felt that warm wetness on his cheek and heard the guy silently sob as his hold get tighter and tighter.
"Naruto… Naruto…"
Sasuke kept repeating his name with voice full of emotions Naruto couldn't comprehend which. All he knew was that he had to do something for this guy he loved so much to stop crying already. He smiled, then he sang.
【好きだよ】って君のことば、嘘みたいに嬉しくて、
You saying "I love you" felt so unreal as if it was a lie, it makes me so happy.
まるで違って見える、いつも見上げる空も
Everything looks different today, even the sky felt unusual.
ギターを教えてくれる指先、
Guiding me how to play the guitar with your fingertips –
伝わる温もり、その横顔も
The transmissible warmth along with that side profile of yours,
―大切に変わる
it became something really special to me.
君がいるだけでありふれた日々も
As long as you are with me day by day,
一分一秒、全て愛しくなる
I started loving every minute, every second of my life.
今この瞬間、時間が止まるなら
If time would stop right this very moment,
抱きしめてギュッと、ギュッと話さないで。。
Please hold me tightly and never let me go.
Sasuke was already waiting three whole days for the investigations to finish. He used his power as an elite Uchiha to assign an investigator to find out where Naruto was. He thought he could easily locate the blonde's whereabouts, but it was about Naruto – of course things won't be easy because he knew he had to exert extra efforts claiming the blonde back again.
He was getting impatient to learn what Naruto has gone through the past year and what was keeping him out of Sasuke's sight, especially when he didn't even get back with Neji.
He couldn't help wondering about these things alone, so he needed to find Naruto quick and confirm with him directly – for all the things he had done and the things he held back on for the blonde will be gone to waste.
"Don't search blindly, Sasuke. You can do much better than that." Itachi told him when they met at the stairs of their house.
Sasuke's impatience made almost all of the residents of their house feel on edge as he was calling different people here and there trying to find the blonde.
Sasuke turned to look at Itachi but he saw his older brother smiling gently at him.
"Nii-chan's lonely because you don't ask him for help."
Sasuke understood immediately what Itachi meant with those words, so he approached Itachi to ask him properly.
"Do you know where Naruto is?"
Itachi smiled, bringing out his phone with a picture of a familiar bar counter. Sasuke stopped for a moment, then his eyes went wide as he recall the back image of a guy in a bartender suit, shoulders shaking. He imagined Naruto with his hands on his chest, as if literally stopping his chest from bursting out.
Sasuke felt his body jump from the side of the stairs down straight to the floor, spooking one of the maids as he came flying down from a rather high place. Like a ninja.
"I've already made arrangements for our private jet." Itachi shouted from the staircase, Mikoto and Fugaku emerging from the kitchen and the study room.
"Bring Naruto-kun straight here, my dear." Mikoto said.
"I won't forgive you if you came home alone, you hear?" Fugaku warned.
Then they all smiled as they saw Sasuke wave at them, eyes full of determination and face full of resolve.
He will definitely bring his Naruto back, else he won't get a home to come home to.
Using the private jet, Sasuke flew to Miyakojima, Okinawa straight and without any delays. His big brother already arranged everything for him, he couldn't be thankful enough.
As he sat, hands sweaty because his nerves refuse to calm down, he thought of how he would approach the blonde and what conversation should he start from. Because it has been a year since they last saw each other.
All those time, he thought so many times about trying to insert a call to Naruto7s number that he wasn't able to erase. He even thought stupidly about sending Naruto stickers through Line to see if he'd react or not. He didn't, though. For he thought that any response Naruto gave, it would mean they'd be reconnected as nothing but friends, or even lesser than that.
That was the only thing he didn't want to happen.
Because if they reconnect again as friends, he would have to see Naruto and Neji – no, Naruto with Neji. He would have to be another audience for the love between the two. That would definitely be worse than not seeing the blonde at all.
However, this time, after learning that the two never went back to each other and Naruto had always, probably, been alone all these time – Sasuke couldn't contain the urge to see the blonde right away and whisper sweet promises to him again.
This time, he will make Naruto happy himself – not giving him to anyone else. They would be happy together.
"Naruto…"
His fists were tightly gripped, his patience running out. He could feel the stress throughout his body as his tough shell start to crumble.
No. More than Naruto needing him to be happy, he needed Naruto to be alright again. The whole year of drowning himself to work, he was forcing himself to forget his emotions. But now that he'd get another chance to pursue his love, he was excited. He was nervous. He was agitated and he was afraid. Whatever waits for him as soon as the jet plane lands, he didn't know.
But I'll make sure you are happy.
Naruto…
As soon as Sasuke arrived at the same hotel he and their client Jiraiya went to before, he didn't waste heading to the bar where Naruto works.
The bar was still closed and getting ready for business, but he made his way inside – one of the employees approaching him in a very polite and welcoming manner.
"Good Day, Mr. Customer. The bar is still not operating, but if you wish, you could have a drink at the lobby – we are very happy to serve you." The guy in a ponytail said in a smile, though his voice sounded really lazy.
Sasuke looked at the guy, raising his hands as he gesture for him to wait while he catch his breath. The ponytail guy raised one eyebrow.
"Err. You okay, Mr. Customer?"
Sasuke couldn't understand why he felt so out of breath. However, he decided to ignore this and as soon as he looked up again to ask the employee about Naruto, the man had just been getting back to where he stood with a drink in hand.
"Here, Sir." The guy said, his voice didn't sounded lazy as it did anymore.
Sasuke accepted the drink and had it in one go before he looked around behind the ponytailed employee, and then he asked the thing he meant to ask since earlier.
"Do you know Uzumaki Naruto? I think he works here." Sasuke couldn't hide the desperation coming out from the voice he used and it made the employee raise another eyebrow.
"Yes. He works here. But he was sent to the hospital earlier." The guy said.
Sasuke's face went blue after hearing the guy's words, then the desperate look became intense he turned and intended to go out to find the nearest hospital he could find.
He wasn't aware that he was getting out of it and as he started to walk with shaky knees, the employee caught his arms and turned him purposely, eyes scanning him knowingly – then the guy sighed.
"After seeing you like this, it's troublesome, but I'll bring you to Naruto. You both are somehow alike and it doesn't sit well with me."
The guy then called for another employee and asked them to send a word to their manager that he'd visit Naruto, then Sasuke was brought to the hospital.
The ponytail guy, apparently named Shikamaru, only led Sasuke to the door of one hospital room and told the raven that he'd wait at the rooftop so he should take his time. Sasuke nodded, feeling thankful.
Naruto found a great friend in this place, that somehow made him feel relieved.
Staring at the handle of the sliding door, Sasuke wondered what kind of greeting should he say. All the plans he thought about during his ride on the jet plane vanished into tin air so it was nerve-wracking.
However…
Naruto…
Just thinking about how he missed the blonde made him resolute. Whatever comes next, he was sure it will be alright. As long as he'd get to reunite with his beloved blonde, he will be alright.
Before Sasuke opened the door, he was hearing someone whispering, as if talking to themselves. When he tried to listen carefully, he could clearly recognize Naruto's voice and his habit of thinking out loud.
He hasn't changed… Damn, idiot.
Sasuke slowly opened the door, then he leaned against the door frame, arms crossed and standing in a cool manner.
"How many times have I told you to eat healthy foods instead of that garbage."
He saw Naruto sit up and retort to him like he usually does, shouting and calling him names like the usual. Then the blonde stopped, surprised, then he scrambled off the bed just to fall down on his butt, still trying to get as far away as possible though his body can't properly manage to move well.
Sasuke stomped his way to the blonde, his heart swelling, chest hurting, breath shallow.
He kneeled down the floor, just in front of Naruto, then he forcibly put his hands on both sides of the blonde – prohibiting him from escaping. He couldn't look at Naruto because the blonde kept looking down, his ears in perfect pink color.
He heard the blonde thinking out loud again, about this being a dream or so.
"No it's not, idiot. And you're thinking out loud again, you haven't changed."
Oh how he missed this person.
Naruto, again, couldn't stop himself for thinking he'd might die of embarrassment. Sasuke clenched his teeth, then he moved to embrace Naruto.
"We can't have that."
Naruto kept pushing him off but he refused to move and just continued hugging the blonde. He was beginning to pant again, his head hurting and he was slightly feeling dizzy – but he still refuse to let go of the blonde.
"You can't escape." He heard himself say, his eyes getting hot and wet.
He couldn't recognize what was happening anymore. All he knew was that he finally had Naruto in his arms and he don't ever plan on letting him disappear from his sight anymore.
It's time to get selfish.
"Naruto… Naruto…"
He wasn't aware of the tears falling down from his eyes as he repeated Naruto's name many times.
However, a gentle and soothing warmth started caressing his back – and he heard Naruto's voice singing a melody he couldn't recognize.
Hearing the very sweet melody and the words that accompanied it made Sasuke relax in Naruto's hold, then he just turned into a sobbing mess even after Naruto had long finished singing.
A year of ignoring his pained and broken heart, and now Sasuke's body and mind decided to release them all – and it caused his body to heat up to the point of getting a fever.
"Sasuke?" he heard Naruto call his name, but even before he respond – he lost consciousness.
Naruto was peeling an apple, humming a song as he sat beside the sleeping Sasuke.
It was the first time he saw Sasuke so weak like that and his urge to protect the guy surged out as well as the emotions he thought he already concealed.
Seeing Sasuke fall over like that as he was being hugged told Naruto that the raven still felt the same, rather, much stronger for him.
Of course, he felt the same.
He loved Sasuke. Always had.
Now that the guy came running after him despite him running away so cowardly – he knew by then that him and Sasuke were still truly and deeply in love with each other.
"Nnnghh…"
Naruto heard Sasuke groan, left hand rising up to remove a strand of hair that felt itchy against the skin of his nose. His forehead was cool. He touched it and noticed the cooling pad stuck on it. So he was having a fever? He totally didn't notice. He slightly opened his eyes and scanned the room, but then he suddenly sat up – as if in panic. When his eyes landed on Naruto, he moved to grab the blonde and pulled him in a tight embrace.
"Dangerous! I've a knife you bastard!" Naruto shouted as he did his best to raise his hand with the knife out of the raven's reach.
Sasuke jumped in surprise at the very loud voice of the blonde, another thing that hadn't changed, he thought.
He finally let go and gave Naruto time to put the knife on the table. Then he watched as Naruto lifted a peeled apple, and aligned it into his mouth.
They stared at each other. Then Naruto smiled.
Sasuke's heart clenched, then he took a bite off the fruit, Naruto immediately bringing the rest to his own mouth and biting some off.
They continued eating in companionable silence until they finished the last of the fruit. Naruto lifted up the bottled water, drank from it, then passed it to Sasuke who also drank.
They both heard Sasuke burping quite loud. And the next thing that he heard made Sasuke laugh, too, as Naruto laughed his heart out loud – tears forming as he comment that Sasuke shouldn't be burping out of apples and water.
"It has been a while since I ate this much, my stomach's full."
The moment Naruto heard this – he stopped laughing, and properly looked at Sasuke again.
The raven had lost too much weight, eye bags under his eyes, and his skin looked paler than ever. Sasuke noticed the worried look Naruto was sending his way, then he smiled and lifted up his hand to touch Naruto's right cheek, only to stop and retract his hand back.
Naruto's eyebrows lifted up slightly in confusion as to why Sasuke stopped midway. He saw the dark orbs turn empty for a moment, then he grabbed Sasuke's hand and made it touch his cheek – snuggling up to it, feeling its warmth.
Sasuke's eyes turned bright and hopeful, his teeth were visibly clenching up. It was obvious that he was trying to hold back something – refusing to give out. Naruto's teeth also clenched tight. He stood up, used a knee to climb over the bed and embraced Sasuke – so tight that the raven had the trouble to stay in balance.
Sasuke felt his heart swell up again.
Naruto was here. He was here, embracing him, making him feel safe and complete. Oh how he wish that he made it in time for him and Naruto to take another chance and continue what they weren't able to continue before.
Everything between them ended just a few hours after it has started, after all.
"Naruto…"
"Hm?" Naruto's sweet voice against his ear felt wonderful. He wanted to hear them again.
He was snuggling into Naruto's shoulder, finding comfort in feeling the very high temperature of the blonde's body.
"Sing me a song." He requested.
Naruto smiled, hugged him tighter again, then he breathed in.
二人自転車こいで並んで競った帰り道
The road we raced our bikes on the way home
次は負けないからね また一緒に帰ろう
I will not lose next time – so let's go home again together.
私の言葉に君がのせるメロディー
The melody you added to the lyrics I wrote
今しか出せない音だから 君と奏でたい
we can only produce this sound right this moment, so I want to hum this with you
神様がくれたかけがえのない時
This is an irreplaceable time God gave us,
たとえすべて失ったとしても
even if we lose everything
めぐりくる季節 あおい海のそばで
the changing season along with this blue sea
君と過ごした日々を忘れないよ
I will never forget the days I spent with you.
Sasuke suddenly sang the next lines, making Naruto stop and stare at the handsome man as he sang the words full of emotions. He smiled.
何度も辿った時間、二人で巻き戻したリコード
The times we kept searching over and over again, and the recorder we keep playing and replaying;
君を守りたいんだ。
【I want to protect you】
Naruto sang again the next lines, and followed by Sasuke, then they both sang the last line, hands finding the other's – intertwining. It was oh so perfect.
もしも願叶うのなら、一人になんてしないから
If my wishes were to be granted,I will not leave you alone.
ずっとその手つないでいて。
I will hold your hand forever.
As the song ended, Naruto found himself being embraced tightly by Sasuke, the raven sobbing – as if he was finally releasing a great deal of emotion he was hiding.
Yes, the whole year that they were apart was the most painful days of their lives – both of them. And now that they knew that they finally have their chance with each other, they both knew better than to let it go.
Sasuke looked at nothing in particular at all while contemplating the things he had been thinking about the past year of being away form Naruto - and the things that happened before that... and all the things that will happen from here on. He was born into this world to meet Naruto, and the guy made him the happiest of all.
Naruto just closed his eyes, swimming in the warmth of Sasuke's embrace. Sasuke became his everything. Even if the sun doesn't rise again the next day, he knew he would be fine - because he was already being surrounded by Sasuke's overflowing love.
They were finally ready to get selfish – and once again, tell each other of their love with one another.
"I won't forgive you if you have someone else." Sasuke said, finally calming down. He felt Naruto's arms tighten their hold.
"Right back at yah."
They both released a laugh, then they released each other – looking at each other's eyes so dearly.
"The idiot who didn't come back immediately after realizing things." Sasuke said, flicking Naruto in the forehead.
Naruto pouted.
"The bastard who dare to let me go after confessing." He bumped heads with Sasuke, then they both laughed again.
They both released a breath of relief as they finally found their time, their chance and their love in each other again. Few minutes passed while Sasuke subconsciously brushed Naruto's hair and back in a soothing manner. He suddenly stopped and it caused Naruto to purr, wanting for it to continue.
"Your friend, Shikamaru is waiting in the roofs. I just remembered. He told me to go and see him after we talk." Sasuke said. Naruto scoffed as he reply.
"Him going to the roofs means he's slacking off again. That guy's hobby is watching the clouds."
Sasuke thought of the lazy-looking guy and he could already imagine them yawning carefreely watching the clouds.
"Then we'd better let him be." Sasuke said. A knock on the door can be heard, then the door opened to reveal Shikamaru, looking as bored as always.
"I prefer you report to me if things have gone okay. People are worrying after all." He said, followed by Naruto's cackling laugh.
Naruto really found great friends. However,
"I heard from the nurse that you're okay to go out whenever you're ready. Let's get your things and get out of here." Sasuke instructed, standing up so the blonde who was sitting on his lap also stumbled on the bed.
"Hey, careful, bastard." Naruto said. Sasuke just scoffed.
Naruto knew that Sasuke just felt uncomfortable being intimate in front of other people when he wasn't in the mood to play flirting games.
Oh. We don't play that game anymore.
Naruto thought, then he chuckled again.
"Naruto." Sasuke said in a warning tone.
"Okay, Okaaaay. Geez."
Shikamaru just watched in slight amusement how Naruto not only went back to being cheerful, but he had finally began to show some of his 'true' character – though it was probably thanks to the Uchiha guy who was roaming around inside the hospital room. He noticed the cooling pad on the guy's forehead.
"Hey, you. You sure you're okay moving around? Don't you have fever?"
"Give it up, Shikamaru. He's much much muuuuch more stubborn than me, you won't be able to stop him doing things he wanted to do. Na? Sasuke." Naruto sent a glance at the raven, but the guy just ignored them.
"Yepp. Stubborn." Naruto said, grinning. Shikamaru sighed.
"Troublesome… I came with my car. Better put it in good use. I'll wait for you two at the parking lot." Shikamaru waved a hand, not hearing any complaints from Sasuke who probably didn't even want to rely on other people. Yepp. Really stubborn.
Just a few minutes passed until they arrived at the hotel, Shikamaru driving off as soon as the two got off.
Sasuke went straight into the hotel lobby, heading for the elevators. He went inside one, pushed the 'open' button and waited for the blonde to follow. Naruto went inside, then Sasuke released the button- the doors closing soon after. Naruto took note of the floors and his eyebrows slowly went higher and higher as they went even higher.
It stopped at the 40th floor where, as far as the blonde knew, only had one Royal Suite room.
"You're really impossible." Naruto said, following Sasuke as he went out of the elevator, swiping his card at the main door of the room.
"It's Itachi who booked this one. He was in a hurry. And so was I."
Those foolish brothers – wasting too much money when they can't even use all of the needlessly wide room.
"Don't worry. I'll make sure we'll use every part of the room." Sasuke said, making Naruto raise his eyebrows in wonder for at least two seconds, then he blushed extremely – stepping back but had nowhere to go as his back met the closed door – Sasuke's hands against the door, trapping him. "So get yourself ready, dobe."
Naruto swallowed quite loud, feeling alarmed and excited both at the same time. He smiled.
"And then the lion awakened." He said, seeing Sasuke smirk.
Authos's note:
Ooops!
I apologize, but I will cut it here and go with the more… adult part of the story from the next chapter! I dunno yet how long the story will continue, but I don't plan on letting things end with just Sasuke and Naruto finally reuniting.
The song I quoted in this chapter came from the song
Aiokuri (アイオクリ) sang by miwa and Sakaguchi Kentarou from the movie
君と100回目の恋 (The 100th Love with You).
If you haven't watched this movie yet, you better grab your pc and watch it. Right. Now. *grins*
So you won't get confused as to who sang which part of the song,
the normal ones were sang by Naruto. The underlined words were Sasuke's and the bold ones were sang by both of them.
Soooo, that's it for the ninth chapter!
I wanna know what you think! So please (puppy eyes) drop by the review section! *wink*
