Original A/N: My darlings,

Ah! You have no idea the constant debate I just had with myself, this chapter is over 6,000 words! But it's the last one! So I was like do I cut it in half and make a chapter eight? Or do I post the little monster as is?

But somehow since all other chapters are above 4,000 it felt so wrong for the last two chapters to be so under (dear lord someone help me when did 3,000 words become too little T.T)

I figured it's Sunday, what better start of the week could I give you than to close this one up?

To everyone that has been keeping up with this story and commenting religiously, I send so many hugs and kisses your way. This was a marathon and we powered through! (but I'm not doing it again any time soon )

Many thanks for the kudos, and favorites as well *hearts*

Rating: Explicit/M, If you know you know x)

Warnings: You got this far, really what could I do at this point to fuck you up x) Also no one is underage at this point! I realized Naru turned eighteen last chapter ;)

Disclaimer: Characters sadly don't belong to me, they belong to Masashi Kishimoto. I was so dissatisfied they couldn't be together in canon that I had to write them into alternate universes with more satisfying endings.

Unrequited Love, Is It?

Chapter 7: Option One

A little after I had started senior year I got a part-time job at the public library, I didn't work a lot of hours but it was enough for me to start getting some money of my own aside from my allowance.

Sasuke had gotten a paid internship as a chem lab assistant at Uni that didn't take a lot of hours out of his day either. He said it would strengthen his application when he was ready to apply to the Pharmacology program. I made him swear not to get me anything for my birthday and that he should make sure he was saving his money to cover rent and groceries. I also understood how important being able to afford a cup of coffee was in college.

I told him that the fact that he was coming over for the break was the best Christmas gift he could give me. This time around that wasn't a good enough incentive, because the gift-wrapped box appeared in my room one day after I came back from the library.

Karin, Sasuke, and Juugo had been moving about the kitchen helping mom make food, and I told them I'd just change into more comfortable clothes and come back to help.

I picked it up, it looked big, but it was very light. It had to be from Sasuke, so I put it by my desk changed, and walked back to the kitchen. I grabbed the set of plates and started helping Sasuke set the table "What's in the box?" I asked as I looked sideways at him.

"You're just going to have to find out on Christmas day"

"I said no gifts" I muttered.

"You still got me one" My head whipped up "How would you know that?"

"I just do, and you always get me something, even if it's a small detail" He bumped his shoulder against mine and I blushed, I wanted to kiss him…

Christmas eve came about and mom had started crying after her second bottle of wine because she said by next Christmas both me and Karin would be visiting instead of living here. We all but smothered her and told her we would always be coming back to bug them.

It was just our family, dad had a moment with Karin when she told him if she did well next semester she'd be able to submit her application for pre-med at the end of the year and hear back over the summer on whether she'd be admitted or not.

And somehow between all the catching up, texting Sasuke throughout the night, and eating all over again the clock struck twelfe.

Merry Christmas baby boy

I smiled down at my phone

Merry Christmas lover

The next day we had breakfast together and Karin left to visit Hidan and his family.

Can I come by?

Yes!

I sent, happy we would finally be able to hang out for a bit, even if we decided to hang out in the living room it would be fine because our parents were used to seeing Sasuke, Suigetsu, and Juugo at the house all the time. It was the norm now.

Since mom and dad were watching a movie in their room I was able to throw myself at the raven when I opened the door to let him in. His hands found their way to my hips pulling me closer as he looked up and saw no one was in the kitchen or living room.

His lips touched mine and I hummed.

Thank God we still had half the break to go "Can I open my present now?" I asked against his lips.

He smirked "Weren't you complaining about me giving you a present in the first place"

"You bought it already so, of course, I've been dying to open it" I muttered as he finished stepping inside and closing the door, I still didn't know how he managed to do these things without removing his hands from my person.

He kissed my cheek, then bit my jaw lightly as his hands slid down and squeezed my ass "Let's go open it then" He stepped back and his hands fell away.

I glared at him slightly "Tease" I muttered, but we headed over to my room, I locked the door right behind me knowing things were likely to escalate, as they always did, and I grabbed the box excited, then opened a drawer on my desk pulling out another small box and handing it over to Sasuke.

"You first," He said and I went about ripping the wrapping paper and opening the box, and I all but went "No!" I looked up as I smiled at the raven throwing myself at him "How did you find it?"

He returned the kiss before I pulled back and took out the Siderman Squishmallow from the box "I couldn't get my hands on one no matter how many stores I kept scoping" I said amazed.

"I know, you kept bringing it up constantly," He said amused, when I pulled out the plush I saw another object at the bottom of the box and pulled out Sasuke's favorite hoodie, it was made of soft black material with a three little spinning ellipsis design on the upper right corner.

He'd forgotten it here the first day of thanksgiving weekend and had all but lost it when I was wearing it as pajamas when he came over the next day. He'd said it smelled like me and took it with him at the end of the long weekend. I put it up to my nose and all but melted as it smell like Sasuke and his favorite fragrance.

"You can keep it until we see each other again for Spring Break, then it's my turn to have it back" I was smiling so wide my cheeks were starting to hurt.

"Now I feel like I could have done better," I said, biting my lip.

He looked down at the box in his hands and started ripping away at the paper and opened the box to see the small bottle of Sauvage perfume, it was his favorite, and it was my absolute favorite too out of the three he alternated through.

Then there was another small jewelry box next to it, he looked up at me annoyed "What did you do? The perfume itself must have been so expensive"

I blushed "I got both things on a really good sale for black Friday" I muttered, as he opened the small black box and his eyes landed on the solid silver suds, they had a silver rim, Viking runes etched on them, and a pitch black middle. Just like his eyes…the moment I'd seen them at the mall I knew they would look so good on him. But I had to bide my time and pray to the gods they wouldn't sell before they went on sale.

He looked up and smiled softly at me as he leaned over and kissed me "I love them"

I felt my heart swell with joy at the words "I love mine too, let me see them on you?" He pulled back and took off the all silver little round studs he had on and switched them out.

I blushed, I bought those for him, and he looked so good in them, I climbed over him "They look good" I said lowly

He smirked "You like seeing them on me? That's the same feeling I get when I see this on you," he said as he leaned down and kissed the skin where my paperclip chain rested.

There were so many people in our house for New Year, Juugo's, Suigetsu's and Sasuke's parents had become close friends with our parents, after all their kids had started spending so much time at our house it was impossible for them not to. Eventually, because Karin kept asking to visit their house or to have them over we started celebrating together, alternating the house that would host the party. This year it was ours. Our parents were littered about the kitchen table drinking and exchanging embarrassing stories.

Hidan's family wasn't here, but he was since Karin had gone over to his place on Christmas. I could feel dad staring daggers at him every once in a while. I knew it wasn't about the cussing anymore, or him not being good enough for Karin, it's just, dad had always been so overprotective of Karin, even though she was anything but a damsel in distress.

We had set up in the living room and had our own set of drinks and conversation going. I had Sasuke to my right and Kiba to my left. He had family over and kept complaining that there were way too many little kids screaming at his house. And he typically spent New Year at Hinatas…so I'd asked him to come over hoping it would distract him.

My fingers kept grazing Sasuke's and he'd smirk every time he'd see a soft blush settle on my cheeks.

"Dance Dance or what?" Karin asked.

We were all already a little tipsy, and I laughed as we all stumbled about trying to follow the steps.

Mom stepped into the living room "Let me show you younglings how it's done"

"Honey get back here," dad said from the kitchen table chuckling.

Kiba was laughing so hard I couldn't help but smile, hoping we'd been able to help him have a good time.

Sasuke and I sneaked over to the backyard and sat on the swing chair, on the porch, only our fingers were linked, if anyone saw it from inside the house they'd just assume we were having a conversation. We've left Kiba in an intense dance battle with Juugo.

I looked over and smiled at the raven "You're staring" I said

"I can't help myself," he said as his eyes trailed me, and I butterflies.

He stood and pulled me over by the lemon tree at the back of the yard, there were lights around the yard but the spot under the tree was pretty dark.

My back hit the tree softly as one of his hands came up to cup my face, his thumb running softly over my cheek "Damn I don't want to leave, I want to take you with me" He murmured, it made my heart leap.

His lips landed on mine and I hummed contentedly "I think I love you" slipped out of my lips, I had thought about it, quite constantly really, even more so when his eyes never wandered when I was around, even if everybody else's settled on him. The thought lived rent-free in my head at this point.

But I hadn't said it out loud afraid it would scare him off.

He leaned his forehead against mine, his hands surrounding me

"I think I love you too baby boy"

I thought saying the words would make it harder for me to see him leave. But it didn't, it cemented the whole relationship.

It was still hard to say goodbye, and I still missed him, but I'd live off his reaction to hearting the words for the remainder of the year.

"We're outside" I let out a moan as Sasuke fell to his knees and unbuttoned my pants

"They're more than capable of partying all night, and I'm not waiting" My head hit the tree as my fingers threaded to his hair as his hand closed up around me.

He licked the head of my cock and I gasped "Fuck"

"Say it again baby boy," He said before his lips closed up around me and my fingers tightened on his hair.

"I love you" I let out in a drawn-out moan

He bit my hipbone lightly "I'm going to take you right out here"

Kiba smacked his backpack next to mine drawing me out of my lewd memories "I couldn't get past the first part of my application because I still haven't decided what I what to major in" he grumbled.

I looked up "You could just do your generals first Kiba, don't stress too much about it"

"Nobody wants to put undeclared on their University application" He muttered "Have you broken the news to your parents you'll be breaking the healthcare streak in your family?"

I bit my lip "I don't want to be a doctor, they never said I had to be, they never told Karin that either, it's what she wanted"

"So? Culinary school as well as KSU"

I nodded "They're side by side, and collaborate on the hospitality part of the program" he pulled me into a side hug "I wish I had half my shit figured out the same way you do"

"Kiba a bunch of people change their major after or during their first year, and we still have a couple of months before we even go"

"I don't even know if I want to go anymore" I looked up " Kiba! I know you're discouraged and it's been hard, but you don't mean that, Hinata doesn't get to define what you do or don't want, and being upset about her decision doesn't mean you throw all of your options away"

He groaned as he allowed his head to fall on my shoulder and Temari walked up to the table

"What's going on here? Are we cuddling?"

The camera came on and Sasuke smirked "Fuck, I never get tired of seeing it" He smirked as his eyes fell on the top of his oversized hoody the paperclip chain showing right under, I blushed.

I had to wash it eventually and I'd been very sad about it, but I still wore it to bed almost daily.

"Did you get your package?" He nodded as a smile settled on his face and he lifted the box full of drawn-out hearts "You got yours?" I smiled back as I crossed my legs on the bed and lifted my box.

"Ok we open them on three," I said as I did a count down and we both opened the boxes and Sasuke chuckled "Really, baby?" He lifted the box to show the obnoxious shredded bring pink and red paper as well as the red confetti scattered everywhere "You're so extra"

"You love it," I said as I saw his amused expression

I looked down at mine and much more like Sasuke's personality just had one page of tissue paper covering the contents.

"There better be nothing expensive in here, you promised," Sasuke said as he started digging through the paper wormies.

I laughed "No, just little details, honestly it's mostly food"

He chuckled "Yours is mostly food too"

He pulled out the Tupperware and opened it smelling the contents and his eyes shifted back up to the camera "Damn I love you"

"Orange pecan cookies, you always love when I make those, they're pretty shelf stable too, just make sure you close the Tupperware properly, and maybe hide them from Karin"

He laughed "I've been hiding the box since it arrived, she's more than capable of stealing the whole thing"

I pulled out an array of candy and chocolate, including my favorite kinder Bueno. Then I laughed as I fished out the Starbucks gift card the little sticky note attached it to read 'give yourself a little treat before school now that you have a late start'

He pulled out his own and smirked at the camera at the fact that we had both thought about the same thing his read 'Study break fuel'

"I love you baby boy, Happy Valentine"

"I love you, Sasuke, Happy Valentine"

"You sure you don't want to stay back and attend Spring Break parties with your friends?" Sasuke asked, just to be polite because I knew there was no way he actually didn't want me there for a full week.

He'd driven down to visit his family for the weekend and I was going to hitch a ride with him so I could spend it with Karin. Or that's what I'd told my parents…

"You know I don't, especially not after last time" I muttered as I threw my leg over him and settled myself on his lap looking at him "I want spend time with you, and go to parties with you"

As my boyfriend

Like I'd give up an opportunity to publicly go out to a party with Sasuke where we don't have to watch what we do all the time.

A snide smirk settled on his face as his hands slid under my shirt and his lips fell on my neck, his tongue swiping at the skin before he placed a kiss on the particular spot he'd settled in "You want to party with me, or show up at the party with me, baby boy?"

I gasped as I pushed down on him "Just in case it hasn't been made clear to everyone that wants to fuck you, I'd like to make a statement" I whispered before I sucked his earlobe in and kissed my own path on his neck.

"Fuck, I want you so bad, can we?" He pushed my hips down against him harder.

"No, mom's and dad should have been home already" He groaned "Then let's get in the fucking car so we can get to the apartment"

He wasn't kidding, he pushed me off his lap and I fell with an 'eeeep' on the bed

"Get packing baby boy, or I'll take you right now, and just apologize profusely to your parents when they walk in on us"

Apparently, each year was an attempt at outshining the previous year, this time around the Spring Break bash wasn't held at the apartments but instead on a set of dunes about ten minutes away from where the apartment was.

We drove over in two cars, Sasuke said he wanted to be able to drive us back whenever we were done for the night. Which I knew translated to, I'm eventually going to want to fuck you and I don't want to wait for the others to be ready to leave. Karin knew this because she smacked him in the head before she jumped in Juugo's truck on the way here.

I got off the car with wide eyes as I saw the littered cars as well as multiple bonfires scattered throughout the space, boom boxes and tables some for beer pong and coolers with beer, vodka, tequila, and four lokos. People were walking in with blankets and setting them on the sand if they wanted to sit and anything could be considered a dance floor.

I felt almost unsteady walking up to the crowd while holding Sasuke's hand in mine. I thought I would start crying, however, that would be very embarrassing so I pushed the emotion down. But Sasuke had been looking sideways at me and stopped walking, waiting for everyone else to get ahead of us, he nudged me so I would turn over to him.

His left hand was still interlaced with mine and his right hand fell on my hip as he pulled me close "What is it baby?" he asked and I looked down blushing "This is pretty much the first time we go out in public"

His hand left my waist and two of his fingers lifted my chin, I lifted my gaze to take in his handsome face "Yeah, I thought we were here so you could set an example" He said

I blushed and he leaned down his lips fell on mine and I closed my eyes as he pried my mouth open and slipped his tongue inside, his hands falling back on my waist and pulling me close.

Something hit Sasuke's back and he stepped back, leaving me absolutely breathless "We just got here and you're already sucking face, seriously at least have a couple of drinks first," Karin said as she picked up her purse from the sand.

I laughed as Sasuke started walking up to the crowd again and I leaned up and placed a small kiss on his cheek "Thank you love"

We had drinks, we danced as a group first for a little before Sasuke took a couple of steps back from the crew and pulled me close. My heart was beating so fast, you'd think it wouldn't because we'd done so much already.

But dancing with Sasuke, not in the 'you're my friend's little brother let me keep some distance' sort of dancing but the 'I want you plastered against me so I can squeeze your ass' sort of way was addicting, and oh so hot. I mean his hands were all over me and I wished the party would have been at the apartment because the bed would have been right there.

I was so turned on I didn't know how I was going to make it through the night.

He pushed his hips against me and I resisted the urge to groan as I felt him get hard against my thigh, pretty sure he could feel me too "What's this, baby boy? We're in public" He whispered in my ear as his fingers settled on the rise of my butt

"This isn't dancing" I muttered, trying to keep my voice even "It's not?" he said seductively by my ear and I shook my head "What is it then?"

"Fucking with clothes"

He chuckled "No baby boy, this would be fucking with clothes," He said as he flipped me and pushed my ass right back against his crotch swirling his hips, and I bit my lower lip as I pushed back.

"Fuck" I let out a little whine, happy for once that the only lighting was the fire, and that didn't really do much to light us up.

"Sasuke?" I was pulled out of the haze by the girl's voice and blinked a couple of times blushing and taking a step away from Sasuke, looking for the source of the voice.

A girl with long black hair wearing dark skinny jeans and a white crop-top walked over to us and I stepped to the side taking her in "As soon as I saw the outfit I knew it had to be you, you always dress to impress"

I raised an eyebrow, who was this?

"Hey Lili, I thought you were going home for spring break," Sasuke said conversationally.

"Didn't feel like making the drive, want to dance?" Did she just–I was standing right here, and we weren't dancing in any way that was just friendly, she turned to me "You wouldn't mind would you?"

Yes, I minded a lot.

"Lili this is Naruto, my boyfriend" His hand felt possessively around my waist, and her expression fell a bit before she regained composure giving me what I knew was a fake smile

"Oh! You kept saying you were dating someone but you never gave any details, you're so cute!" She said as she pulled me in for a hug and I stiffened, I didn't like her…but I didn't like any girl that talked to Sasuke that wasn't Karin or Temari.

"Naruto Lili was my Chem Lab partner this semester" fucking finally, answers.

"I think I'll go grab something else to drink, Naruto?" Sasuke asked nudging me to go with "Oh c'mon let me pick his brain a bit" Lili said as she reached out and grabbed my arm and Sasuke's gaze intensified for a bit.

"Could you bring me a drink too, please?" He looked at me and I just shrugged, Karin and the rest of the crew were right there, I wouldn't die if I talked to her for five more minutes "You want anything baby?"

"Cranberry vodka," I said, I should have asked for water because if I was going to have to be near this girl I couldn't have any more alcohol or I'd end up jumping her skanky ass, but it looked like I was very consciously choosing violence.

After Sasuke disappeared into the crowd she started dancing, I kept my distance as I settled on a rhythm of my own.

"So are you two like exclusive, because the Sasuke I met freshmen year was anything but"

"You met him during freshmen year?" I asked, feeling the jealousy rise to my throat, at the reminder that Sasuke used to fuck different people like a damn energizer bunny.

"We had BIO 181 together freshmen year, we'd have study sessions together, but there wasn't much studying involved if you know what I mean" I took a breath as I allowed the words to settle in. Sasuke took BIO 181 first semester of college...we weren't dating yet...

"Oh sorry, were you two already talking or something? I mean I figured you'd know how he is, and if you're down maybe we could do something fun after the party"

I was usually pretty open-minded people could have their fun any way they wanted as long as everyone consented, but I did not like to share. She didn't want anything to do with me, she just wanted back in Sasuke's pants and no doubt had probably tried this past semester.

"No offense" I returned as much as I fake smile as I could plaster on my face "But I don't like sharing"

She smiled right back "If I could give some advice when you get with someone like him, you'll want to be a little more adventurous, or he might start missing the old good times and stray, better you be in control of who he's with"

Who exactly does this girl think she is? Sasuke walked back and handed her her drink, and held out a red cup for me, I grabbed the cup and leaned up on my tip toes landing a kiss on his lips, making a show of licking his lower lip knowing he'd instinctually pull me in closer.

"If that's the thanks I get, I'll go get you the whole cooler," He said against my lips, completely forgetting Lili was standing right there.

I nudged him to lean down and whispered by his ear "I'm so horny right now I'd let you take me right in the car, pick a spot behind a dune, drive me back to the apartment, but just–please?" I muttered that lust-laced voice I knew drove him mad.

I pulled back, flushed as I looked at him, and his fingers on my hip were now digging in, he looked over to Lili "It was nice seeing you but we gotta, go, have fun" He said as he grabbed my hand and pulled me after him, I turned back to see plain jealously burning through her as she gripped the can in her hand "Thanks for the advice, but I know how to handle my man"

We barely made it back to where all the cars were parked before I was pushing Sasuke against his car and pulled him down for a kiss "Fuck I don't think I have the patience to wait until we get to the apartment" He muttered against my lips.

"Then let me help you right here" he raised an eyebrow at me "Now what's gotten into you?"

Hard. Cold. Jealousy.

I dropped down on my knees undoing his pants and pulling out his hard-on and putting it through my lips as I groaned, his hand fell on the top of my head "Fuck baby"

I sucked hard as he hit the back of my throat and groaned "You're such a good baby boy" He groaned as his head hit the car's window.

Apparently, I had something called a praise kink, because I always got so turned on when Sasuke praised me for doing good, or following directions, Sasuke had caught on very early on and completely abused it.

I pulled back "Do you want me to swallow?" I asked as my hand started pumping his erection, he looked back down at me, and his thumb grazed my lower lip "You know I do" He said.

"Tell me I give the best head you've ever had"

"Fuck but you do"

I licked at the steady flow of pre-cum lapping it all up "In a full sentence" I swiped at his length, his eyes drinking in the sight "Baby boy, you give the best head I've ever had"

I could cum in my pants.

"Damn right I do," I said before I swallowed him all the way back down again as his fingers gripped at my hair and I fished inside my pants to desperately jerk myself off, tears started sliding down when he started thrusting up against my mouth.

"Baby boy–" Was the only warning I got before I felt the hot salty liquid spill into my mouth, and Sasuke's fingers gripped harder as I swallowed. And I spilled on the sand below me as I pulled back trying not to choke.

Sasuke was lifting me off the ground and crashing his lips against mine, licking at my abused lips, hands sliding under my underwear and kneading, I mewled against his lips.

"Ah–please"

"Is it my turn to make you feel really good here?" He said as he squeezed my ass hard and pulled me up, my legs wrapping around his waist.

"Yes"

His lips grazed mine "Uh-uh, no one is going to hear your lust-filled moans but me, so we're going to have to drive back"

Despite the fact that I'd been adamant about waiting until we drove back, we did, and then he thoroughly prepared me and took me not once but twice. Driving me right to the edge multiple times before he pulled back, leaving me a whimpering mess.

"Now, I loved every second of it, but you want to tell me what that was all about?" Sasuke murmured as he pulled me over so we could cuddle on the bed.

"The girl from the party, you slept with her" There was silence for a few seconds "So that was you being jealous?" I couldn't see his smirk, but I knew it was there.

"Oh baby boy, if that's how you're going to assert your territory, I'm about to have a real good time next year"

I sat up and turned around punching him in the arm "Asshole!"

Mom came down from her room as soon as I got back from the Library, my eyes instantly falling on the letter she was holding. When she handed it to me I saw the logo for Culinary Art Institute, they had driven me up earlier this semester to do my in-person interview and demonstration.

I went to rip the paper "Wait, wait, wait" mom said while fiddling with her phone" Your dad won't get off his shift until tomorrow so I promised I would record it"

She started recording, and I opened the letter, my eyes instantly falling on the 'Congratulations' part and I looked up at mom smiling "Turn it around darling" I did and she zoomed in on it before pulling me in for a hug "Congratulations!" She was already crying.

"Don't cry, mom"

"It's happy tears" She mumbled, she pulled back and stopped recording. Wiping her tears and my own "Aren't you gonna go call Sasuke?" I blushed, speechless for a second. Maybe it was just a trick question…

"A mom always knows sweetie, I can tell just by the way he looks at you"

"Dad?" I asked, completely red.

"Your dad lives in blissful ignorance, or just chooses to believe you two will forever be his babies"

I covered my face "Do you like him?" She pulled me in for a hug "I was a little nervous at first, but you look so happy, darling"

She pulled back and kissed my cheek "Mikoto says she's never seen Sasuke this way before either, she's beyond herself"

I groaned "You two talk about us? How embarrassing"

But at the same time, I felt something unfurling inside of me, it was a relief, mom knew, and dad probably knew…and that meant we didn't have to pretend in front of them anymore.

We were only three weeks from High School graduation, and the next time Sasuke was home, I wouldn't have to pretend we were just friends.

The green hats hit the air, and families started filtering through the football field. I finally spotted everyone walking my way, I'm pretty sure dad near fainted as I ran over to the raven landing a kiss on his lips. Muttering something about 'right in my house, now here'

"Congratulations, baby boy," Sasuke said as he lifted me and did a turn before putting me back down.

"If looks could kill" Suigetsu snickered right next to Karin who was very amused by dad's reaction. Sasuke stepped back and mom and dad gave me a hug, followed by everyone else.

"Naru!" I turned around as Kiba and Temari walked up to me and we all went in for a group hug.

"Temari don't cry," I said as she sniffled "I know I'll ruin my make up" She muttered, I laughed

"You're crying too," Kiba said

"I thought the year would never end" I groaned "And now I'm sad it did, someone make it, make sense"

"Dudes we're actually going to Uni, I went a little off the rails this year, thank you for helping me keep it together" Temari hugged us both tighter before she stepped back and punched him in the arm "I'm a girl, don't dude me"

"Alright everyone," Mom said as she started passing around tissues, always prepared "Clean those tears and gather up for a group picture"

I already knew the picture would go up right next to Karin's, Suigetsu's, Juugo's, and Sasuke's graduation group picture in the living room. After she was satisfied with the number of pictures she took of us, she turned to Sasuke.

"Now Sasuke, pull him close, I didn't get one for prom so you gotta make this one count," Mom said smiling big

We ended up house hunting over the summer, we were going to need to rent a bigger place and an apartment wasn't going to cut it anymore. As far as dad was concerned we rented one with extra rooms because Karin was moving in and Kiba and I would share a room. It would be cheaper than paying for separate rooms at the halls for me and Karin. At least that was our argument, Karin's scholarships mostly paid for her room and board, but who were we all kidding? She was technically all moved into the guy's apartment.

After we'd made multiple trips moving boxes and emptying the apartment mom and dad left us to get settled.

I stood there amused as dad hugged me on his way out "Take care of your sister" He said.

Then when it was mom's turn to hug Karin she let out a "Take care of your brother"

Everyone trailed off the door, our parents, Suigetsu was off to Pein's, Karin and Hidan went on a Target run before she hollered back a 'keep it in the room don't be disgusting

We did the complete opposite…as Sasuke's arms slipped through my waist as he turned me around and pulled me in for a hug "Fucking finally" He muttered before he leaned down his lips landing on mine.

I kissed back, pushing him back into the couch and climbing on top of him, kissing my way down his chin, then his neck, and biting at his collarbone lightly, his hands were already unbuttoning my pants and, fishing into his pockets pulling out a small lube bottle.

I bit his neck harder "I see old habits die hard, you're always prepared aren't you?"

He gave me a playful smile as he pulled me in with another kiss, his tongue thoroughly exploring my mouth "You see baby boy, the difference now is, I'm always prepared for any chance at taking you, didn't we have to get quite resourceful this last year?"

I got off him so I could slip my pants and underwear off, he took advantage of that and took his own clothes off, I settled right back on his lap and mewled as our erections rested against one another. His lubed fingers weren't wasting any time slipping between my cheeks and prodding at my entrance.

"I hope you're ready baby boy" He pushed a finger in and I pushed back "I'm about to take you like this before class, between classes..." I gasped " and before we go to bed at night" He latched on to my neck as he pushed the second finger in.

"You know that's part of how I got through last year, I'd imagine fucking you everywhere, taking you back to the library restrooms no one uses, or just sitting next to you and getting you off with my hand while you try and keep a straight face" I was a mess of gaps and moans on his shoulder as his two fingers thrust in relentlessly, and a third started making its way in "I'd make a mental note of all the places I wanted to try and take you so we could go back together once you were here..."

"You know I'd let you do it too" I let out, a little breathless

"And after your little stunt on Spring Break, you started a whole new fantasy" his fingers moved just right and I held on to him for dear life "One where you see a girl come on to me and you get all possessive, kissing me, sitting on my lap, getting off on the look she gets on her face as you take what she cannot have"

"Fuck Sasuke"

He pulled his fingers out and aligned himself against my entrance pushing me down "We're both hopeless though" He let out a little growl as he pushed in "Because if I see any guy hitting on you I'd do the same"

"You'd get jealous?" I let out breathless, gasping as he pulled down harder and I had to grip the back of the couch "Oh baby boy, you said it didn't you, you're mine as long as I'm yours"

"No one covets what's mine," He said as he bit my neck "Holy fuck Sasuke" I let out in tears as I reached between us and started pumping my own erection "This sweet little ass has only ever been mine and I intend to keep it that way" He licked the spot where he had bit down.

"You get so turned on when I talk to you like this don't you? Your gripping me so tight"

I nodded my head, he drove me nuts when he talked like that to me "I'm cumming"

"Let go," He said and I did convulse on top of him as he gripped my hips pushing me down on the length of his cock one last time before he let his head fall back as he came inside me.

After the silence settled he tried nudging me off his lap "No" I held on, I was too comfortable.

"You really want Karin to walk in on us like this?" He chuckled and I groaned "Fine"

After we'd managed to unpack mostly everything I hit the bed exhausted, and Sasuke smiled softly at me as he climbed in and pulled me over his lap.

I let my head fall on his shoulder "This is really happening?" We could go to bed together every night, we could wake up next to each other every day.

"This is home now baby boy," He said as he leaned down for a kiss.

At first, I was so terrified it wouldn't work, and it would have broken my heart. If it hadn't worked Sasuke would forever be the one that got away.

But I was ready for it.

What I wasn't ready for was to be the person he needed all along, enough for him to do a one-eighty on the way he went about his life. There were so many non-believers out there, people at school that kept waiting to see me break because they couldn't believe Sasuke would change. They'd whisper about how he was probably still fucking other people behind my back. Talk about how naive I was.

But throughout the year I learned to tune them out. They didn't matter, Sasuke mattered. It wasn't them I had to take into account, they knew nothing of how close Sasuke and I had gotten over those first two years. How Sasuke always looked out for me way before I took that step forward and kissed him.

When this started I figured I had two options:

I could enjoy my time with him, trust him and love him

Or I could live relieving the past in fear waiting for him to let me down.

I'm glad I picked the first one.

I might never know exactly why I was different, but I was. I knew things still could go downhill, I knew a lot could happen with time. But I'd keep choosing option one, he was mine until he wasn't.

THE END

I hope you all enjoyed the last chapter of Unrequited, Is it?

The answer was no, it was never unrequited x) I know it feels a bit fictional that Sasuke was able to just swear off his 'bad ways' (I mean this is fiction...) but hear me out, I know I didn't give you much from Sasuke's perspective-and if you want to keep your own interpretation of the story please skip the rest of this note.

In my head, when this fic came together, it was all about Sasuke meeting Naruto and being physically attracted to him, which is why it was so important that they didn't get together until later on. Because Sasuke grew close to Naruto and not only realized he liked the way Naruto looked but who he was as an individual. It was those two years of friendship and sexual tension that allowed for the relationship to work (in my head) because when he was finally able to get his hands on Naruto it wasn't just about sex anymore (and he'd had plenty of time to experience what he wanted sexually, and as for Naruto, he wants his experiences not from just 'random' people but from someone he has a connection to, remember that bit about people looking at commitment differently?)

The second most important part was that Naruto decided to believe his instinct that he meant more to Sasuke, and by choosing trust at the risk of having it blow in his face, he gave Sasuke an incentive to not let him down. This relationship wouldn't have worked if Naruto was always doubting Sasuke and questioning him, because Sasuke would have seen that as hurting Naruto and would rather end it than see Naruto spiral down that road.

Well, that's what was in my head at least ^.^'

Ah~ I wanted to say that so many times! But didn't really want to ruin the flow of the story for you and was hoping the writing was getting that across.

Can't wait to hear what was your favorite part of the ending~

Once again thank you so much for all the love and support my darlings, I'll keep seeing you on After Gateway if you're reading that one.

Chio~
