Aishiteru, Naruto
Chapter Eleven
Lost In The Supermarket
Sasuke awoke to Naruto warming up chocolate chip muffins in the microwave and pouring two glasses of milk. Sasuke sat down at the table, waiting for Naruto to come back with the muffins. Naruto place a gooey, melting muffin on Sasuke's plate and one on his own. Before Naruto could take a bite of his muffin, Sasuke said,
Naruto, I have something to tell you,
Naruto cocked his head in a vulpine manner, his mismatched eyes wide with curiosity. Sasuke gulped. He had started it off, but... what now?
Nah... Naruto, he stuttered, I've been putting this off for a long time. At... at first I thought it was weak of me to feel like this but, I've decided that, actually, it was weak of me not to tell you.
Ohgodohgodohgodohgod,' thought Naruto, He hates me.'
Shut up!' growled Nine Tails.
Naruto, I... I love you. Sasuke blushed and turned his face away from Naruto's multicolored gaze.
He just said that... that...' trailed Naruto's thoughts.
Yes, he did,' shouted Nine Tails, now, say something!!'
Sasuke sighed and began to stand up, I understand. You don't want to see me, you don't want me around. I'll get my things together.
Sasuke said it but he didn't really mean it. How could Naruto reject him? Couldn't Naruto see his icy heart breaking? How could Naruto hate him when he loved him so much?
What? His things?'
Naruto! He's leaving! Stop him!'
Sasuke was turning to walk to his suitcase when, suddenly, Naruto grabbed his shoulders, pulled him around and pressed a slightly clumsy kiss on his mouth. Sasuke gasped against Naruto's closed mouth. He pulled back to look at Naruto, who was blushing.
I love you too, Sasuke, said Naruto shyly.
Sasuke's lip quivered and, for the first time in years, he broke into a real, genuine smile. Sasuke grabbed the astonished Naruto and pulled him into another kiss.
Their kisses were slightly inexpert, but the two soon began to understand what to do. Sasuke brushed his tongue lightly across Naruto's lip, asking for entrance. Naruto gave a small sigh, opening his mouth slightly. Sasuke slid his tongue into Naruto's mouth, grazing against the roof of his mouth. Naruto moaned and wrapped his arms around Sasuke's waist, pulling Sasuke against him. Sasuke groaned at Naruto's touch and pressed their mouths together fiercely. To their disappointment, their need for air exceeded their need for physical contact and they broke apart to breathe.
Sasuke smiled and brushed away one of Naruto's errant locks, Aishiteru, Naruto. Aishiteru, Kitsune-chan.
Naruto smiled too, Aishiteru, Uchiha Sasuke. My aibou.
One question, said Sasuke.
What is it?
Can I sleep in your bed?
Naruto laughed hard. No! Wouldn't wanna leave you in there! Bah, of course you can.
That night as they curled around each other, they smiled. This was the love they'd never had. This is what they'd wanted. This was the feeling of utter peace, contentment and joy wrapped into one that they had been searching for all their lives. And now that they had it, they were never letting it go.
So, it was no surprise when, two weeks later, Iruka came by to tell them that they had found an available apartment for Sasuke and Sasuke answered,
Iruka gave them both a knowing smile before returning home to Kakashi.
