La/-/er- BWAHAHAHA! I live once more! (And let's ignore the fact that I still have to do two term papers and a heck lot of questions for English) Sorry for the long wait people, but I wanted to update my co-written fic first, it takes precedence over this one, I have to say. But no matter! I have updated Without Life and now it's Delicious Revenge's turn! (Geez, why am I so hyper?) This is when I change my penname to QianYun...
Review Responses: (I didn't have any time, but we've already established I'm weird, so... alphabetical order!)
Aimi-chan- Aimi-chan never responded to my e-mail... :sigh: But thanx for the review, made me all O.O so it was good. But in case something went wrong, I e-mailed you because you were my 101st reviewer, so I wanted to ask if there were anything you wanted to me add. Characters, pairings, extra ecchi scenes, other scenes, etc. etc. If you do have something, anything at all, feel free to e-mail me or leave a comment on my livejournal. Just any random entry will do. Link's in my bio if you need it.
Angstling- Lol, big pile of goo. That's wonderful! Heck, being a big pile of goo at school is good, makes the day go by nicely, no:laugh: Thank you for writing such an amusing review. I laugh each time I see it.
AnimeFreakPerson-I think a lot of people love it even if it's not going according to plan. There's a lot more SasuNaru scenes in this version... But thanx for telling me that, I was feeling a little uneasy.
Aurum- Long wait, even longer this time. And is it really worth it this time:sigh: Haha, yeah, it wouldn't be good to drool too much. And standing in only Sasuke's shirt at the door is like a sign of possession, who wouldn't want to do that? Well, you'll find out how they got together this chapter and the next. Read it again? Wow...
CarzyFangirl- I'm guessing that's supposed to be crazy... Ah! That's the best compliment ever! Ah! Ah! Thanx soooo much:bows: (And thanx especially for the comments.. hmm, they're the same thing..)
cknoakira- :-D I love you too! It's my life's dream to distract people from boring classes. You're the second one for the last chapter. Haha, the story twist and turns are great, but it's too bad I don't know them until I actually write it out. Giggle during your meetings! Unless their direly important... then you can just daydream.
Dark-Mimiru-Chan- Evil? Nah! ...they are, aren't they?
EscagirlUK- In reference to your other review, the sequel is called Without Life but it's in another account since I'm co-writing it with Seito, it's in my favorite stories link, if you want to get there easily. Now.. for this review, The Plan (oo, capital letters) is going to get very interesting. Hot kiss... kiss... hot... yesh...
fanny-chan2- Reviewers like you make me so happy. Glad that I was able to convert you for my story. Glad you thought it was worth it to read this, continue reading and I'll continue writing! (Ah.. funny and cute... how nice..)
ghostninja85- Ah, yes, yes. Accidental kisses are fun, especially when they're not, lol. And pat yourself on the back, you're the reason why this is coming out now. Well, part of it anywayz. Nag, nag, nag, you should do that to me more often.
izumi- I always like Hinata, just not the part where she has a crush on Naruto. And I figure.. it's always the quiet ones you gotta look out for.
Jiro- Yo, you got your explicit detail, and don't worry, I'm incorporating all the ideas you gave me in there. Although I'm still not sure who I should pair Lee up with... I used to like him with Sakura, and then Gaara looked interesting, and then I got hooked on Neji... decisions, decisions.. And no, you're not an annoying brat, just a regular one, lol. And yes, yay for Hinata!
lady of the myst- Yeah, I think everyone likes this slightly better because of the extra SasuNaru. And I thought no one would get the ending because... I didn't get it. When I was writing it anyway, I always worry about no one understanding what I write. Which is the reason why my chapters are so long and yet so little happens... :sweatdrop:
MeanaLitaia- (see me squeal) :hugs you back: Thanx for the absolutely wonderful review. :too giddy to think of anything more to say:
Night-Owl123- Okay, not even close to soon, but it is ASAP, next one will come quicker though. And I love that you love reading it. ;-P
RuByMoOn17- :cough cough: Erm... more than kissing will come.. possibly...
Seito- Aw, glad you thought it was cute And it seems that my squirrel paranoia has spread! SasuNaru parts are awesome, there's more in this chapter! Haha, I would love to put W/O life on hold, but that doesn't seem really right. I did start that one first... How's chapter 9 going anyway?
Spooy- :blush: Sometimes I wish you don't write such nice reviews... I never know what to say... And you never replied to my e-mail, but I think I got most of what you said. Using some of the ideas, not most, but there's definitely going to some things in here with your flavor. (cuz some of you stuff can go off the deep end into a puddle of angst... so I'll rather just avoid it, sorry..)
sweetness- :cackle: You'll have to read on (and then some) to find out exactly what happens...
Ulitheal- Humor and love is my thing. Haha, my other life's goal is to make people do exactly what you did, this way, we can all feel embarrassed when we read this story.
Under the Old Oak Tree- Awesome penname. Very nice:pets it: Lol, glad to see I have such a fan in you. And I agree, very nice scenes, don't know where they came from, but very nice.
Yuen-chan- Ah-ha! A person who doesn't understand! Wait.. you do... why are you tearing you hair out? You made it clearer than I did...
(Wow.. Two pages of responses.. And if I somehow missed somebody... er, you have permission to hit me.)
Delicious Revenge --- Chapter VII --- The La/-/er
Previously on Delicious Revenge...
"The reason why we're acting as if we are just acting as boyfriends in front of them is simple. To confuse them."
"What do you mean? How are we going to confuse them by acting like we're not boyfriends?"
"That's the beauty of it all Naruto." Sasuke smiled at him, "We weren't really boyfriends in the beginning of all this. But then we got together when we were planning our revenge. They don't know that. If we acted like we were pretending to be boyfriends as our revenge, it'll get them confused, won't it? Especially if at other times we act as lovey-dovey as we can. And when they're confused..."
"Their guard is down."
"Exactly. And when their guard is down..."
"We can carry out the rest of our revenge with no problem."
"I knew I liked you for some reason." Naruto grinned at him, glee shining out at his every word.
"And here I thought it was because I was the sexiest bastard you've ever met."
"Well, that too." And with that, Naruto pulled Sasuke down to give him a kiss.
A deep full-on kiss that let them panting moments later.
Now, while we are pretty sure that you would want us to carry on with this line of thought, our psychic mind has also detected that you would also want us to fully detail what it is exactly that happened in those four days that could've caused our dear Naruto and Sasuke to have gotten together. (Our psychic mind being your reviews. See, they do help!) After all, four days seem like too short a time for two rivals to get together. Ignoring all the sexual tension that we've been seeing since the sixth page of the third chapter of the first volume of the Naruto manga. It can also have said to have begun on the fourth page if you're really intense. (Not counting the chapter cover.) Or it is better known as the third episode of the anime.
Just in case you poor people can't remember, it's where the "accidental" kiss occurred. You know, with the whole Naruto hovering over Sasuke and him getting "accidentally" knocked over and onto Sasuke's lips. Whereupon they "froze" for several "seconds" with eyes wide open in "horror" before tearing away from each other in "disgust".
Ahem, now that we've gotten that straight, where were we? Oh yes. SO! Events within the four days of them being locked up in Sasuke's house- yes, actually locked up, by reasons you will see- caused some unbalances to occur. Several other characters had intruded upon our dear Sasuke's dwelling and the unbalances were further... unbalanced. Because as we all know, if you lock up two hormonally charged teenagers together for any length of time, things will occur.
And occur they did. With some help, of course.
And now we present the part which we hope we have set you up adequately for, all four agonizing days that were spent in Sasuke's house. (Meaning yes, this will be more than one chapter)
Starting with the day Naruto listened to Sasuke's oh-so-clever plan.
A Step Back
The moments right after Sasuke informed Naruto of his plan
Naruto stood up abruptly; the chair skittered across the floor, teetered on the edge of its back legs before it froze for a moment, then burst into movement soon after. The chair rocked back and forth from its front legs to its back legs. Then it scurried from its left back leg to the right front leg to the left front, to the right back to the right front to the... and on and on and on.
For several moments, the only noise heard was the continuous movement of the chair, quite content to rock back and forth calmly for it was always its dream to become... a rocking chair.
Yes! That is right, this dear dining room chair that resided within the... dining room of one Uchiha Sasuke had always wished to be a rocking chair. Nevermore did it want to have that soft cushion on the seat, the lack of arms, the straight four legs. No! It wanted better things! It wanted 4 slanted legs! Two on each side attached to a curved wooden piece allowing the sitter of the chair to peacefully rock to sleep, or two occupants to get ever so close to each other, the motions of the chair allowing all types of movement... The chair began to rot under the seat as it began to think erotic thoughts that chairs shouldn't have.
Which is why we are immediately stopping all narrative about the chair and continuing on.
The chair continued to rock for a few moments before coming to a stop, most amazingly, still on all four legs. As the chair had gone through its movements, it was interesting to note that the very cause of this rocking motion had flown into a flurry of motion that resembled a bit of rocking.
Hearing the words emitted from Sasuke's mouth - a pretty one, admittedly, but also really dirty - Naruto's shocked stance and then his rapid movements indicated quite clearly what he thought of his ideas.
"What! You want us to pretend to be boyfriends? Isn't that the exact same thing that got us into this position in the first place? And now you want us to pretend to be boyfriends! Oh.. wait..." Naruto paused for a moment, noticing the emphasis he had put on his own words.
"Hmm... pretend to be boyfriends.." For a moment, Naruto thought of the possibilities that arose with this idea. All the times that he would be able to do things that he normally couldn't have, simply because they weren't boyfriends. And with this idea... Shaking his head, Naruto put a wall up against those thoughts, but when he began to stop pacing the floor - an action he had no idea when it started - he also looked up to see Sasuke's expression.
In this situation, there was only two things this could've meant. Either Sasuke has pasted on a smug expression and appeared to be preparing to call Naruto a coward... Or a lesser known possession of Sasuke, the weapon that had brought success after success to others in the world, the exact same weapon that Sasuke had developed in his young childhood years and had only recently begun to use for reasons quite obvious...
The puppy eyes.
A modified version of the puppy eyes that Sasuke had used in his childhood, it featured slightly wider than normal eyes whose deep, dark color drew in a person as soon a glance was passed in that direction. Also included in the package, a light sheen that covered the eyes, and in the right lighting, it effectively created an illusion of tears. The eyebrows above those deep abyss of eyes came together in a cute frown-type thing. Forehead rising just a bit as a result of the combination of together-eyebrows and wider eyes than normal. A slightly fuller lower lip sticking out just a teensy bit more than normal. A cutely scrunched up nose that meant he was either going to cry soon, or he was going to pout.
And then the thing that put it all together.
A hand shakily - but not too shakily, he was, after all, a sixteen year old Uchiha shinobi - moving up to brush right underneath his eyes, applying a slight pressure as if trying prevent any tears from escaping.
All very subtle actions, any other normal person wouldn't have really noticed. But quite frankly, he lived in a town full of ninjas who noticed all the little details. And the fact that these things were so subtle was the whole reason anybody in this town ever got fooled. Because you either had to be a really, really (x10) good actor or really (x5) on the verge of crying to be able to move so subtly, as if it was not on purpose. That or if you were a girl... but even then, there were such things as enemy kunoichi.
Even so, add on the fact that it was Naruto watching his best friend Uchiha Sasuke - the infamous cold-hearted bastard of a guy - it was as easy as breathing to grab him hook, line, and sinker.
Aah... but we hear some protests from the worlds. Why ever would Sasuke do such a thing like that? Our response? Think... all those hormones that have been dormant within Sasuke awoke soon after he met Naruto, and as we all know, there was no way for Sasuke to release that tension under his skin. Except for the violence that occurred and all that. But pushing all that aside, here, Sasuke is presented with a wonderful chance of a perfect revenge while getting something out of it himself. After all, if they were supposed to have been dating for months... it would only make sense that they were intimate... really intimate with each other.
Besides, his puppy eyes were getting rusty, all those years of angsting over his brother and his family's murder didn't exactly give him a chance to see if his version still worked. Hey, just because Sasuke didn't get the Sharingan at an early age, didn't mean that he couldn't do other things that could break through a shinobi's defense. (1)
Voice coming out quietly, but growing in strength - seeming to be trying to get Naruto to forget his previous actions - Sasuke spoke steadily, "I only thought that this would be a good way to get back at them. I had just spent the last month avoiding the girls and even some boys(!) who were chasing after me corner to corner, street to street. And to be honest, I'm sick and tired of this! This is absolutely ridiculous! It wasn't even this bad when I was alone and 'dark, mysterious, and brooding'. How the hell does this all make sense! You would expect them to be after us for being gay! This whole town is out of whack, instead of shunning us like any other normal town would do, what do they do! They accept us with 'open arms'. They chase after us to make sure we're not doing anything good without them knowing. What kind of a town is this! I mean, honestly, this is absolut--mmph"
Silence rang through the dining room as Naruto finally detached his lips from Sasuke's. Cheeks bright red from the excess blood, Naruto blinked a few times before straightening and smiling smugly. "Well, what do you know? Shikamaru was right!"
"...huh?"
There was a laugh from Naruto before an uneasy silence fell over the two teenagers once again. A sigh was heard and Naruto's voice rang once again.
"It's not that I have anything particularly against the idea." Here, Sasuke rose an eyebrow. "It just seems as if there's something... off with it. Like there's bound to be something that's going to go wrong... I went against my instinct once during this whole ordeal," Naruto frowned, remembering the events at the Hokage Tower, "and the result wasn't pretty. I just don't want to go through it again. Especially if in the end, the only reason is because of those people again."
"Look, I won't lie to you, there's always the chance that not everything will go as planned. Hell, it's definite that it won't even be close to exactly as I planned it to be, but don't you think that after everything this town has put us through these few weeks, they don't deserve some backlash? And if you don't even want to talk about the past weeks, what about the past years?"
He stood up in front of Naruto, the memory of the kiss fading as other, more important thoughts took hold. "You can't honestly tell me, that those first thirteen years of your life, you've really been living contently. Even for a while after you joined Team 7, our team, I know that you can't have been completely satisfied. The village was important to you, and they did nothing but shun you. The simple fact that you're still even willing to become a future Hokage of this town means that no matter what happens, you'll still love this town as if it was your own heart. But sometimes, even your own heart needs a lesson, Naruto.
This isn't the first thing the villagers have done that has hurt you in some way. Even if you truly think that they can't be blamed for their anger, there will always be a part of you that will be bitter. You've lost so many of the best years of your life for some stupid reason and you'll always remember that. Don't you think it's better to do something about it now, while you're still capable of thinking like a kid than when you're older and have matured? Seen things in your life that you might not have seen if your childhood had been different? If the village had accepted you for who you were? Naruto..."
Sasuke broke off, feeling as if the things he said went too far. He certainly had no right to give Naruto a speech on this, it was his life and his choice, it mattered not what he thought of everything. Especially since even to this day, he still didn't know the reason for the cold looks Naruto was given in those beginning years of their partnership. (2)
Feeling tired for no particular reason, he sat back down before glancing at Naruto. The boy had not moved since he began to speak and currently held a somewhat dazed expression of his face.
"Go back home Naruto and think about what I said. What we do from here is entirely up to you."
The atmosphere surrounding everything had changed from the cheery if not indignant mood to a somber one that provoked the need to think deep. Always one to ignore such a mood, but never one to deny the need for some space and time, Naruto nodded to Sasuke and muttered a quiet good-bye before leaving at a languid pace.
Staring at Naruto's back as he left, Sasuke tilted his head, wondering if everything really was going to work out as he planned. Even from the beginning, as was obvious, the plan had been skewered, he had wandered off the path even further than he had anticipated.
Perhaps he shouldn't have brought up the past and left everything as lighthearted as he could. Perhaps...
Walking back home as he did that day, everything seemed a bit... weird. After several weeks of being followed by a wide array of people, the day was peaceful. Almost as if everyone was able to tell that he really wasn't feeling like dealing with them.
An uneasy feeling passed through him, giving him a feeling of foreboding, that intangible feeling as if something was wrong, but not having a reason to think so; a feeling that normally would've caused Naruto to drop everything and just stay still until it passed. However, this time he pushed on, not ignoring the feeling, but walking it out. Just this once, he wanted to know why he was feeling what he did. Just this once.
Slipping into the forest that bordered the village, he never noticed the worry eyes that followed him.
Naruto was not to be seen for another few hours. The sun was finally setting when those living in the apartment next to Naruto heard a rummaging noise, drawers being opened and closed, zippers being moved and other such noises.
The next morning, at the time when Naruto was usually heard rushing through the apartment, his neighbors heard only silence and absolute peace.
The First Day...
Knocking on Sasuke's door was interestingly one of the more nerve-wracking actions he had done in his life. Nervously waiting for an answer, he began shifting from foot to foot, stopping when he realized that he was Uzumaki Naruto and Uzumaki Naruto did not get nervous from something as simple as this.
Because moving into your best friend's house in order to make it seem like they were dating when he just admitted to himself that he had a crush on said best friend was an everyday thing to do.
Wandering around in the lush green forest yesterday did much to calm his mind and more. By the time he had left the forest and entered his apartment, his decision was made and now was the time that he decided to act upon it.
His thoughts were suddenly interrupted as the door opened to reveal a sleepy Sasuke.
A sleepy Sasuke that apparently slept half-naked.
On second thought, it seemed as if he slept completely naked as that little breeze that just passed by showed quite clearly that no, Sasuke was not wearing any type of underwear at all. For a few moments, Sasuke presented a picturesque view, the top of his (silk?) robe slipping off to reveal slender, pale shoulders and a billowing bottom that revealed a bit more than was necessary.
Stunned at the sight that his best friend made, Naruto could only hope and pray that no, it wasn't a dream.
The whimper that escaped Sasuke's lips seemed to confirm it.
Amused, Naruto regained his mobility and only then just remembered that Sasuke was not a morning person. Contrary to popular belief, Sasuke was not an early waker, he simply just got up earlier than the other people on his team. And seeing who it was that was on his team... it's quite easy to see why he would be the first person there.
First of all, there's their teacher, Hatake Kakashi, whom was notorious for his late arrivals. Then there was Haruno Sakura, whom in their beginning years spent an extra few moments (hours) to make sure she was as pretty as possible for her dear, dear Sasuke. And lastly, there was Uzumaki Naruto. Yeah, no need to discuss him.
So it wasn't hard to hide the fact that Sasuke didn't like mornings.
He really didn't like mornings...
"Naruto-kun?"
Interestingly, the chuckles that always popped up whenever this happened seemed to have had disappeared this time. What was left was the insane urge to glomp Sasuke until he came out of his morning... daze, one could call it. That was the reason why Sasuke didn't like mornings, apparently, the emotions and such stuff that he compressed during the day (during his younger years) all escaped in the wee early mornings. For many, many years, no one in the town knew of this. Until that is, that fateful day when Naruto actually woke up early and decided to bug Sasuke. All he got was an emotional Sasuke that seemed to be so freaking adorably cute.
But that's another story for another time.
Meanwhile, Sasuke had reverted to look pleadingly at Naruto, hands reaching down to pull his sleeves back up, a slight shiver running through his body. "If you're going to come in, can you do it now?" A whining tone entered his voice and yet again Naruto was struck with that peculiar feeling...
Shaking off the thought - a little too hard as he became dizzy and unable to focus for a little while, did Sasuke just smirk? - he grinned at the boy and pushed him in, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where do you want me to put my stuff?"
"Stuff? What stuff? Huh?" A confused look crossed Sasuke's face, but he recovered quickly and Naruto got the feeling that Sasuke was going to come out of his daze soon. Maybe a little too soon...
"I thought about it, " he paused, waiting for a retort; when none came, he grinned and continued, "And I decided that your plan actually had some merit. So I figured coming over to your house now can be like a trial, if it doesn't work out, we can just come up with another plan." He glanced back at Sasuke and almost pouted when he noticed that Sasuke seemed to be almost completely back to normal.
And he was hoping to glomp him too...
A slight yawn escaped Sasuke before he nodded and made a 'follow me' gesture. Deciding that Sasuke was in his second stage now (the stage where he seems as if he hadn't gotten any sleep for days- excessive yawning, lack of talking, etc.), Naruto rolled his eyes skyward before thinking, For a guy who's so antisocial and cold, Sasuke's got quite a bit of quirks in him. Following Sasuke at his heels, Naruto barely managed to stop as Sasuke did.
"This is -yawn- my room. For the next day or so -yaaawn- you'll stay in the room next to mine. If everything goes -yawn- well, you'll sleep in my room for a few weeks or months or wh-yawn-atever."
Taking a few moments to comprehend what Sasuke was actually saying, let's see, taking out all the yawns... I guess it's okay..., I hope. "Alright, I'll just put my things in there first then."
A tired sigh, "I'll go make breakfast." He turned and began to walk toward the steps before getting stopped by a yelp.
"Hmm?" Eyes blinking slowly, he turned back around and tilted his head at Naruto.
Squashing an urge to brush that lock of hair away from his eyes, he spoke, "You remember those groceries we brought, like, weeks ago? I brought them over. Do you think they're still edible?"
Raising an eyebrow, Sasuke replied, strength growing with each word he spoke, "Did you do anything to them?"
"No, nothing that I know of." Darn, he's almost awake.
He waved his hand, "It should be fine then. Where'd you put them?"
"Erm... I think..." Naruto turned around, rummaging in one of the bags he brought. With a soft "ah-ha" he brought out another bag and thrust it at Sasuke. "Here, they should be fine, I put them on top. Mostly."
Nodding, Sasuke turned to leave again, "Go to sleep Naruto, I'll wake you up when the food is ready."
"Eh?"
"I know you didn't sleep last night, go to bed."
Shocked at his words - or more like the truth in them - Naruto only obediently followed his words, walking into the bedroom, stripping off his outer clothes as he went. How in the world did he know?
Hours passed and breakfast came and went. It was mostly an uneventful passing, except for the food fight that started over the scrambled eggs. And then the bacon. And then the syrup. Leaving that two boys sticky and smelling... weird. Laughing at the sight that the other made, the two collapsed against each other in fatigue, ignoring the sticky mess that they were creating even further.
Sasuke leaned against the table leg, slightly facing Naruto. A silent thought went through his head and he bent forward to follow it.
Bringing up a hand and wiping away a streak of syrup, he brought it back to lick at his fingers slowly. One by one, each digit went in with the brown stain, one by one, each came out with a hint of tongue and smothered in glistening saliva. Finding that his palm also had syrup on it, he continued licking, resembling like a cat cleaning its fur.
Glancing up, he saw Naruto watching him and with a smile, came to his knees and crawled the short distance toward him. Kneeling in front of him, hovering slightly due to Naruto's slouched position, he brought his head down and slowly, lazily trailed his tongue across the expanse of his smooth cheek. Lingering for a moment, Sasuke gently swiped his tongue over Naruto's whisker-like scars, handling each as if it was a treat to be treasured.
Through it all, Naruto was only able to sit in silence, relishing in the feel of the wet, hot tongue caressing his skin. His eyes drooped slowly and by the time Sasuke finished, his eyes were hooded, hiding the hormonal lust that ran though his veins.
Smirking slightly, Sasuke used his cheek to nudge Naruto's head up a bit, before swiftly dropping a kiss on the unsuspecting boy.
There was a pause in all actions until Sasuke insistently moved his lips against Naruto's, nudging him into action. Slowly, but surely, the lips under his own moved. It was a tentative move, a bare push back, but it was all that he needed to continue his assault of Naruto's lips.
Not content with only the lip to lip contact, his tongue darted out to lick at Naruto's lower lip, somehow managing to catch a taste of the breakfast Naruto had just eaten. A small whine escaped Naruto when Sasuke's tongue retreated, savoring the taste of breakfast mixed with Naruto's own sweet, yet husky taste.
Wanting more, his tongue ventured out again, in return receiving a satisfied sigh, allowing his tongue to enter the warmness that was Naruto's mouth.
While their mouths were busy, their hands were not idle, moving from skin to shirt to robe to hair. Up and down, over and under their hands went, ignoring the sticky sensations of the syrup and the clumps of food stuck in the folds of their clothing. All they felt was each other. All they knew was each other.
All they tasted was the delicious sweetness of their crush.
Parting slowly, their eyes met, cautiously, warily, but met nevertheless. Noticing the emotions in the other, they soon relaxed, before Sasuke spoke.
Huskily, with a tongue darting out now and then, "I was thinking to test you on your skills... but is there something you want to tell me Naruto?"
A flush rose up onto his cheeks before he replied with a strong, "No!"
He only received a look in return and he scowled, but then became startled soon after by the light laugh that came from the boy in front of him.
Sasuke leaned back on his feet before standing up and reaching out a hand to help Naruto up, "Come on, we need a shower."
Bewildered, Naruto let out a sharp, "Together!"
Grinning lecherously, he replied with a, "Well, if you want to... I won't stop you."
Blinking once and deciding that he wasn't blushing, he shook his head, "No, it's alright. you can go first."
Sasuke shrugged, dropped a kiss on Naruto's cheek and strolled into his bathroom, robe slipping lower and lower and lower with each step he took.
Finally, the door closed behind him and Naruto sat straight back down, touching the place Sasuke had kissed while wondering out loud to himself, "And this was only the first half of the day, how is the rest of the week going to be like? How is the rest of the day going to be like?"
Unknown to Naruto, the next three days were to be eventful indeed. That is, if he was able to finish this day first...
To Be Continued...
(1) This is going to be one of the few references I'm making to the manga's angst. I swear, I'll go nuts if I put in anymore, so if you want something more... canon, I suppose, this is not the story for you.
(2) Assuming that Naruto did not tell anyone within the last uh... 4 years. And reminding you guys who read the manga: Before Sasuke leaves. Alright? I refuse to believe it happened (when I'm writing this story, I have no problem with believing it any other time)! So right, no one near Naruto's age knows.
La/-/er- Alright, I seriously did plan to write the first two days in here, but then the thing of what happened the day Sasuke told Naruto his plan sorta... dragged on. However! No matter how long the next chapter will be, I'm going to finish this really, really long flashback. So get ready for a bumpy ride next chapter. Unless you don't mind me separating the days. It might be easier for you guys to read, but eh :shrug: if you're reading this, it's your choice.
Alright, give me your opinion on how it is so far! Have a good week!
