Blah-Flashback/Character 1st POV
--U R Darkest's Pawn--
Those hands running along the other's leg, moving slowly over the muscles that would tremble underneath the heat of the finger pads. He would thrive in just knowing that he had this much power, it was intoxicating and addictive.
When he could hear those simple sounds, such sweet euphoria lit him and he was once again like a fire in a storm, keeping what little burn going, or like a man drowning, barely managing to keep his head above water and not give into the predictable end. He wanted to move faster, to give in to those inevitable wants, but a part of him warned him not to; because they both knew what the consequences would be.
It was not acceptable. Even if he was the most favored of all. They would be banished. And it would be his entire fault.

"Sakura-chan!" A mop of yellow hair came running along at full speed as Naruto made his way toward the kunoichi.
"Naruto-baka! You're already nearly half an hour late!" The cherry blossom reprimanded. The boy merely chuckled sheepishly at the idea.
The boy was no longer really a boy. He had grown to stand at nearly 5'11". He had indeed fleshed out and his body contained less than 3 fat. His boyish facial features had not changed much, but he had become awfully handsome. And yet here he was, still the same unpredictable knucklehead ninja that he had been when he was twelve.
"I'm sorry, Sakura-chan. I really am. Shall we go?" He began walking toward the edge of the village, where they had been scheduled to meet Kakashi and Sai for a small get-together. It had been seven years since they had been truly called Team Kakashi. Sai was still part of Danzo's Black Ops, but he was no longer the clueless and emotionless boy that he had been when they were first introduced. Though there still were moments when he couldn't help but use a fake smile. Sakura had become one of the best medic-nins in the village, and she had just passed her jounin test. And Naruto had just become a part of the ANBU.
"Wait Naruto!" Sakura ran to catch up with him.
I don't know how long it has been
Smiling faces greeted other and the group began walking once more, this time toward the BBQ place.
They sat conversing, until the usual banter between Sai and Naruto became too much for Sakura and she hit the both of them over the head.
Since I have seen that smiling face
They left, Kakashi and Sai leaving the way that they had come, and Naruto and Sakura likewise.
They talked of mundane topics, just to make sure that the silence stayed away.
When they parted ways, Naruto didn't go home. Rather, he sat with the fence against his back and he closed his eyes. He sat there for a few moments, in complete serenity with his thoughts. No one was around to bother him. He was grateful for that.
He thought of many things, like how he was so happy to have finally made it into the ANBU, and how he had such a wonderful group of friends, and how he was so thankful to have found him. He had never been happier before he had gotten together with him. It was such a wonderful feeling, the emotions that welled up inside of him when they were together, the drum-like beating of his heart when they would kiss, the genuine small smile that unconsciously slipped across his face when they were together. Yes, he was very lucky indeed.
When someone finally appeared before him, he opened his eyes and stood up. Then he pressed their lips together softly.
"Naruto, are you ready to go."
"Sure, Sai."
I don't know why, but I want that to belong to me
And together, they walked off towards wherever they had planned to be.
To me alone it should belong
From afar, he felt his heart break. Shattered by a loneliness unknown.
Me alone

I heard the "dun, dun, dun!" go off in my head when I revealed that it was Sai that Naruto kissed and not Sasu-chan. I know that this is a SasuNaru story…but I can't always make it so easy. I will update when I can. LFA will be updated this weekend.
Please review. It means a lot to me, and it might get you a faster update. (hint, hint)
