Rivals With Benefits

Chapter 1: From fist fights to sex

It was just sex. Every saturday evening the same: they would meet up in a warm place in the woods of an abbandoned mountain and spend the rest of the night together, until the other day would dawn.

The two friends with benefits were more than just that, they were eternal, bitter rivals until a certain event changed everything:

They were celebrating his rival's 20th birthday in that timber house with all his friends around and lots of alcohol. Both of them couldn't stand each other for some reasons, but his rival's brother had thrown a birthday party for him and he was invited. He knew exactly that his rival didn't like getting drunk and being surrounded by people, but the alcohol was legal now (at least for his rival), so why not use this opportunity to forget the whole stress around? It's not like they've never been drunk before.

It was 3 A.m when everyone started to go home, it was a long drive for them to go home and everybody had had a few drinks. He knew that he had to go home, but he didn't manage to walk straight so he fell to the floor, trying in vain to get up. The alcohol decided for him to stay there and try to get some sleep, and while he heard the guest of honor laughing for no particular reason, he suddenly felt something heavy falling upon him. He opened his eyes only to find two raven black eyes staring deep into his own. He never understood what had driven them to do such a thing, but the next day he found himself naked on a carpet with his arms around his rival.

Exactly four weeks of unbearable awkwardness followed, until it happened again at Ino's party. She had rented a big local, so that all of her friends would fit in and everyone had to bring a date. He was over his crush for Sakura, that had become his best friend instead, and he couldn't date Hinata since he knew that his best friend had a crush on her, so he tried to ask other girls out, but everyone of them refused with silly excuses. He knew exactly that they only refused because he wasn't as popular and "goodlooking" as his rival. He then asked Tenten, who was the only one that had no date for Ino's party because she was in her crush's friend zone and she only agreed because she tried to make Lee jealous. His rival was forced by his brother to date Ino, since he was always lonely because people were annoying to him.

Everybody noticed that both of the rivals have been weird for some weeks, but nobody knew the reason and they left it as it is, thinking that it was maybe 'cause of their hate for each other's guts.

That night their eyes would constantly meet, and every time they realized that they were staring at each other, they both took a drink. That had lead to drunkenness and to waking up in the position they knew just too well the next morning. They were both just happy that nobody was there, or else it would've been a big problem. They talked about it and they both came to the conclusion that they were driven by hormones, by alcohol and by the lack of sex, so they just pretended that everything would go back to normal and that they would be again just bitter rivals. As the saying goes "troubles always come in threes", in fact they ended up again having sex in the shower of the locker room of their football team. They both knew they were not attracted to men and of course not in love with each other, but this time they had nothing they could blame it on. All the dreams he's had the nights before the last event made him realize that he wanted, no, he needed, the other boy's body to be able to go on with his life without having weird problems every morning. Strange words came out of his mouth and he was surprised that his rival had accepted his idea; he just couldn't believe what he had just said and that the other young man was okay with the whole "sex partners" thing. They both knew it was a great plan to get over the hormones problems and the fact that the girls were after a serious love story rather than a one night stand, like them.

Years have passed since the first time and Naruto recalled it like it just had happened yesterday and smiled pathetically at his memories while driving back to his appartment after spending the night with his ex-rival Sasuke. They weren't rivals anymore, but they weren't exactly friends. Not even he did know what they were and nobody knew about them. Nobody knew that they weren't rivals anymore, nobody knew that they were seeing each other and nobody knew about their long-standing affair. He didn't even tell his best friend Kiba about it, not out of fear, but he knew that it was a secret. That they were a secret.

Naruto was still single, he had had a few one night stands with pretty hot girls shortly after what happened with Sasuke, but as time passed he couldn't bring himself to spend the night with anyone, nor could he bring himself to date anyone. How could he lie to someone who might want to spend the rest of their lives with him? He just waited patiently for every saturday to come so that he could spend the night with Sasuke.

After a few hours of driving, he finally got home, he crawled into bed and tried to get some rest.


Fist fights turn into sex
I wonder what comes next...
