Chapter 1- We're having ramen tooonight!!
The nervous blonde fidgeted awkwardly as his hand hovered above the brass doorknob; he wasn't completely certain that opening the door would be the best choice for him or the guest. Everything happened so fast, one moment, Naruto could detect Sasuke's presence behind him and suddenly, the bastard was knocking, asking, or actually demanding, to be let in. Naruto was just about to button on a shirt when the seal begin burning red, its fiery radiance shone through the fabric causing the blonde to add another article. Back in present time, he had yet to let Sasuke within the confines of his home.
"Who is it?" Naruto absently wiped away the bead of sweat pooling on his temple. His temperature was climbing rapidly; strange foreign sensations coursed within him, but the blonde found these new sensations to be quite pleasant.
"I already told you, it's Sasuke moron!" Angrily snapped the person beyond the wood entrance. The blonde winced at the harshness of Sasuke's tone, he hesitantly replied.
"Do... you need something?"
"Goddamnit let me in. I'm wet." Naruto's stomach muscles tightened considerably when the innocent words registered in his brain. His entire being shuddered with ill contained excitement, and he desperately wished that Sasuke would go away. An image of the bastard flashed in his mind, and the blonde hated to admit that the sight was not totally disagreeable. It was widely accepted that Sasuke Uchina was a handsome youth, with his distinctive spiky hair, black like coal, clipped around the ears and shortened at the rear. Similar to a storm brewing in a distance sky, his eyes were cloudy and turbulent. Smooth alabaster skin covered Sasuke's lean physique, which entirely consisted of hard contours and sinewy flesh.
"What are you doing? Masturbating?" Naruto sputtered in response to the taunt.
"NO! Look jerk, you can't come in." The smirk on Sasuke's face disappeared at the blonde's indigent shriek.
"Why the fuck not?" Naruto had to think fast, a skill he truly had no talent in.
"I have severe diarrhea!" Sasuke was taken back by the crude confession, but he managed to growl out a message of returning later before departing. Naruto then crumbled to the carpet with a tired sigh, he was not looking forward to the inevitable cold showers in the future. ===============================================================
A royal blue heaven floated over his head this early morning; a refreshing breeze ruffled the verdant trees, and layers of shimmering dew coated everything. Naruto was traveling to work via rooftop today as a means to avoid any unnecessary contact with people because it had took several hours for the seal to calm down yesterday, and he did not want a repeat performance. A beaming smile broke out on the blonde's features when a recognizable individual came into view; Iruka was busily hunched over a desk assigning missions at the Hokage's Office. Sadly, Naruto was not allowed to tackle his former teacher to the floor whenever he saw him anymore since Iruka started enduring mild back pains. The overly benevolent man did not have the heart to inform his favorite student though, and Naruto had to find out the discouraging news from the always- meddling Kakashi. This, however, did and could not stop the blonde from yelling the older Chuunin's name in a very Gai like manner each meeting.
"Iruka!!!" The remaining occupants of the room cringed at the high- pitched cry.
"Naruto, how are you? Are you eating well? Do you remember to brush your teeth three times a day?" Iruka immediately overwhelmed him with questions. Naruto doesn't really eat that well nor does he consider brushing his teeth on many days, but for Iruka's sake, the blonde answered yes.
"Are there jobs for me? Any A- ranked ones? "Iruka gave an apologetic grin.
"Sorry, it's a C- ranked mission. You are ordered to report to the village gates to meet three Sand nins in promptly 0700 hours. From there, you will escort them to their temporary quarters at this address." Naruto hesitantly secured the folder under his arm; diplomacy between the two countries was especially weak following the attack on the Leaf three years ago.
"Alright, sounds easy enough. Oh and can we have ramen tonight? I need advice about something." Iruka softly laughed as the blonde sheepishly mumbled his request, whatever the problem, it sure was bringing about an uncharacteristic shyness in Naruto.
"Of course we can. Go on now, don't forget to mind your manners." The younger Chuunin made sure to roll his eyes in the most exaggerated way to demonstrate how offended he was. His mock angry disposition quickly changed when the teacher knowingly offered to pay. Naruto dramatically said his goodbyes by the exit before bounding off; it was true that he had grown in body, but comparable to most teenagers, mental maturity was a distant goal. The blonde congratulated himself for not showing any of those abnormal fever like symptoms while in the vicinity of Iruka, things were starting to look up already. ===============================================================
Naruto scowled and his current trio of companions mimicked the gesture, his previous optimism had gone to hell.
"You're late." Kankurou stated untruthfully, the puppeteer flicked a straw of wheat he had been chewing on at the blonde.
"And you're ugly." Naruto childishly countered with a triumphant glare. The blonde succeeded in controlling any outward signs of surprise when seeing the memorable siblings despite his quick temper nevertheless. Temari stared at her younger brother warningly, which subdued him for now. Naruto waved for them to follow wordlessly, and the four trekked in tense silence, glancing at each other warily.
The blonde did not miss the fact that the ebony color outlining Gaara's eyes had disappeared and faded away since their last gathering. Even more peculiar was the redhead had not spoken or challenged him; he was oddly fascinated with watching the interaction between the people they passed instead.
"Notice anything different?" Naruto nodded, and Temari presented an explanation.
"Shukaku is gone." The elder girl bit her lip, unsure if any more information was necessary. The blonde should have been asking why and how, researching if it was possible in his case, but something else held Naruto's attention captive. His raging senses were flaring brighter than he could ever recall, breaching the walls of the blonde's willpower. Naruto focused on Gaara with a crystalline clarity he never before enjoyed. He could hear the redhead's slow heartbeat, smell the other's sweet scent as it wafted to him on a gentle draft: Spices and heat, headier to him than any substance on Earth. The blonde could almost taste it when he breathed. Part of him wondered if Gaara's lips tasted like that; if his skin tasted like that.
"We're here." Naruto exhaled shakily, he could talk at least, a very good sign. Kankurou snatched the keys from him, and Temari politely thanked the blonde for his services. The two entered the house, leaving Naruto and Gaara alone.
"If you wish, I will tell you how to remove Kyuubi."
Naruto shook his head numbly in rejection. The fox demon, akin to Iruka, was the closest to family he ever had. Losing it would mean forsaking a division of himself.
"Uzumaki, just because that damn priest left, doesn't me I don't have his enhanced capabilities anymore. Your arousal has been quite obvious to me. A long term relationship will be complicated, but we can fool around a little." With that declared, Gaara of the Sand joined his family inside. ===============================================================
A line of salty liquid dribbled from the blonde's swollen lips. His pink tongue sensuously moved to catch it; he didn't want to lose a precious drop. Naruto threw his head back at the onslaught of flavors and moaned loudly in satisfaction. A desperate whimper was emitted from the back of his throat, the blonde wanted more, he needed so much more. The pressure in his lower abdomen was becoming painfully unbearable, the blonde rocked back and fourth to relieve himself. His cerulean eyes were glazed over with tears of frustration. When Naruto just couldn't hold it in any longer, he opened his mouth and screamed.
"Another miso ramen!" Iruka counted the empty bowls stacked high on the counter, all together, Naruto consumed eight orders of noodles.
"You mentioned something has been troubling you earlier." Naruto took on grave expression, his eyebrows were firmly knotted and jaw clenched.
"I've been feeling all...all dirty and stuff." The blonde carefully studied his mentor's external attitude for potential negatively, but Iruka shockingly remained neutral to the news.
"Well have you been washing thoroughly?" Naruto contemplated for a few seconds; the blonde concluded his showering habits were already effective seeing that he wasn't too stinky.
"I suppose. Should that affect your um appetite?" Confusion manifested itself on Iruka's face.
"Are we discussing your personal hygiene here?" The blonde clutched his throbbing head. the one on top of his neck perverts! The conversation was driving Naruto absolutely mad, coming clean was awfully humiliating the first time, and now he had to repeat himself.
"I'm talking about sex for the love of god!" The world went utterly silent for miles around the restaurant; it was probable the dead perceived the announcement as well. Bustling noises from the kitchen ceased, conservative persons stood with their mouth agape, and tiny children held their breath.
"WHHHHAAAT??!!"
"Shikamaru told me about it once, but I don't really understand." The blonde waved his hands wildly to demonstrate his limited education. Iruka nearly fainted at the pumping, groping and pinching motions. The older Chuunin lectured his student on the significance of purity and innocence then embarked on the formidable task ahead. Iruka opted for the old- fashioned birds and bees to cover the stark basics. Naruto scribbled keynotes eagerly on napkins, this worried Iruka immensely. Then again, the blonde was an adolescent, and it was common for kids this age to be curious. Iruka clarified that fact to Naruto, who was under the impression that his... yearnings were wrong.
"Thanks Iruka! You're the best!" A great weight had been lifted from the blonde's shoulders.
End Chapter 1 ===============================================================
Author's Note- Thank you for reading. I'm such a dork, the chapter title is from Finding Nemo when Bruce goes "We're having fish tonight!" I made the chapter longer like many reviewers commented on.
Iceheart19- Your review was really helpful. I wasn't even going to write how Naruto got his tattoo in the story but it will be revealed later. Sasuke and Naruto will be the main pairing. Naruto will be attracted to others but that doesn't mean they'll return the same feelings.
Dark Mimiru-Chan- I love your Happy Birthday Sasuke picture in your profile. Your story "Damn You Teenage Hormones!" is wonderful!
