AN: Wow, this chapter's a bit longer than the others :D 10 pages, that's good for me. And it's actually out :gasp: earlier than I thought it would be. I have no idea how good it is, but it's out and it's out on time XD
Disclaimer: Not mine, probably not yours. If they are... then I'm a little creeped out. Why the grown male creator of Naruto would be reading my crappy little yaoi fanfiction is beyond me. Good thing he isn't.
Warnings: FLUFFY FLUFFY FLUFF FLUFF (which means an OOC Sasuke)
As a side note, I probably should have mentioned before that they are no longer 12. No, folks, they're just really immature... I dunno.. 15 or 16 year olds. What ever you want XD
Naruto sighed and cuddled a little closer to the warm thing he was holding. It felt nice, not quite a blanket and not quite a pillow, something better. Nuzzling his face into the warmth, he noted that whatever it was, it was soft and smooth and very comfortable, so he didn't care if it wasn't something he normally woke up to. Except, it was all to familiar feeling for him to have not woken up to it before. Mental check list time. Pillow, no. Blanket, no. already went though those two. It wasn't the mattress, he was lying on that. It was as big as he was, though, so it couldn't be any sort of stuffed toy. What was it?
Finally, tired of the mental anguish the object was causing him, Naruto blinked open his eyes. And saw a chest. And a neck. And a face that most definitely belonged to Sasuke. He grinned. Yeah, he knew why it felt familiar. Because he had already fallen asleep on the boy once. However, this time the blond didn't seem to be the only one enjoying the comfort of another body. His (half naked, oh my!) rival tightened the grip he had around Naruto's waist and grunted a little, before mumbling half heartedly and tickling the other's ear with his warm breath. "Go back t' sleep. Still early."
Naruto snickered to himself. Yes, he did enjoy using Sasuke as a giant pillow, however, a certain incident involving a peacefully sleeping blond and a very angry Uchiha the previous morning was not forgotten. And not that Naruto was one to hold grudge, because he certainly didn't think he was, but he also wasn't one to let such a perfect opportunity pass him by. That would be simply sinful.
His snickering turned to gleefully maniac, yet still semi silent, giggling as he positioned his hands over Sasuke bear torso. Oh, this would be good. He'd probably get his ass beat for it, too. But it would all be worth it. Yes indeed, it would be WELL worth it. Too bad he didn't have a camera on hand. He vaguely wondered if Sasuke had one laying around his room, and what the boy might use it for, before his thoughts returned to their path of evil planning.
Gently, he removed one of Sasuke's arms from his waist, struggling briefly with the boys strong grip, and sighed in relief as the ebony haired youth only stirred slightly from Naruto's ministrations. He heaved his body upwards, straddled the other boy's hips lightly (it wouldn't do to wake him up, especially not in such a compromising position. Although that could be fun...), and went for the kill.
As soon as he felt the fingers on his sides, Sasuke woke up. His eyes flew open as Naruto attempted to mercilessly tickle the breath out of him, and he shot up as he felt fingers digging into his sides, glare already present on his face. Unfortunately for Naruto, Sasuke was not ticklish. Not one bit. At least, not where Naruto was tickling, and it wasn't likely that Sasuke would spill such a dirty little secret any time soon to anyone, much less someone trying to steal his pride in such a childish manner.
Growl. "Naruto..."
Naruto eeped as Sasuke grabbed his wrists, flipped them both over and pinned the blond to the bed. The black haired boy smirked down at his captive. It was not a smart idea to try and out wit Uchiha Sasuke in the morning. He was not a happy person when he was disturbed from sleep, especially when he was amazingly comfortable and sleeping peacefully for the first time in over 48 hours. And now the blond was going to suffer the consequences.
One hand pinned Naruto's above his head, the other crept up under his shirt and slide lightly down his side. Tricky little bastard thought he could get away with tickling Sasuke, huh? Well, Sasuke knew how to tickle, and he knew how to tickle good. "Careful now, don't fight. You'll pass out and I'll be able to do anything I want to you."
Oh, that was evil. Damn Sasuke. He had a point, too. If Naruto tried to fight back, he'd undoubtedly fall right to sleep. And falling asleep at night, when most reasonable people also fell asleep, that was ok. Because that meant that Sasuke would fall asleep, as well. And THAT meant that he couldn't hear Naruto talking about him in his sleep. But if Naruto fell asleep now, he'd more than likely make a fool of himself. A person simply did not have a wet dream in front of somebody else, especially if that somebody else was the cause of the dream. Actually, it was the jutsu that was causing the overload of sexy Sasuke filled dreams, but that was beside the point.
"Erk..." Naruto's face twisted into an odd grimace as he fought to keep control of himself.
He was writhing on the bed, eyes clenched shut, wrists locked above his head with a half naked Sasuke over top of him, making strange little mewling sounds when a tap on the wall was heard towards the window. Naruto's eyes opened wide and Sasuke whipped his head around to see what had caused the disturbance, mortified at the thought of being caught in such an odd position. Who in their right mind would enter someone's house without knocking?
"Sensei!" Care to take a wild guess?
The Jounin's one visible eye curved upwards as he held up his hand in greeting. "Yo."
Sasuke scrambled off of Naruto, and the blond yanked his shirt down, sitting up to stare at his teacher and the open window next to him. Apparently Hatake Kakashi did not knock. Nor did he do doors. Such trivial things were obviously above a man of his standing, as was privacy of others. A grin was obvious through his mask as he stood there, uninvited in the bedroom of Sasuke . Pervert.
"Kakashi-sensei! It's uh, it's not what it looks like! I was just- and then he was- and then you were and-"
Sasuke cut the blond off mid-pathetic explanation, "What do you want?" A scowl was evident on his face as he stared at his teacher, obviously annoyed.
"Why hello to you, too, Sasuke-kun. I was just here to deliver a special package courtesy of Hokage-sama, though I suppose if you don't want Naruto to get rid of this jutsu, or you can do it on your own, I will by all means leave at once."
Hokage-sama? Help Naruto? Whoops. "Wait! I-uh. What is it?" there was an obvious amount of distrust in Sasuke's.
Kakashi chuckled. What had he ever done to instigate Sasuke's distrust? Hadn't he proven himself an adequate teacher? So he was late sometimes, and he might have had to actually physically force the lock on the boy's window to get in, but he obviously wasn't going to answer the door, not as... engaged in his activities as he was.
"Well, it's a charm of sorts I guess you'd call it. Tsunade placed some seal on it, and the bearer of it can't exude any chakra under any circumstance."
Sasuke still looked skeptical. Naruto just looked excited. The faster he got this damn justu curse over with the faster he could start training with ero-sennin again. Ero-sennin who had placed the stupid thing on him in the first place. Damn teachers and their funny training methods. Ah well, the blond would just have to ruin the old man's peeping for a few days. That out to be payback enough.
"How come YOU can still perform ninja arts? You obviously used some to get inside here, and your holding the damn thing." Sasuke was still glaring his mistrust at Kakashi.
"No, actually, that was just normal breaking and entering, there," grin, "However, a person has to be wearing it for it to work. It's a necklace, you see."
He handed the package to Naruto who greedily pried it from his teacher's gloved hands, before ripping open the brown wrap to reveal the charm inside. The heart shaped, gold charm. With little red hearts painted in a tiny floral pattern all across it. His eye twitched. It was.. rather feminine. A bit too feminine for Naruto's liking, actually, and he voiced his opinion to his teacher.
"Ah. Yeah. It's Hokage-sama's favorite necklace, actually. Took it right from her own neck, she did. So best be careful not to lose it!" he turned and headed back to the window, intent on leaving the same way he came, but looked back for a moment to give Sasuke a rather lecherous look. "Oh, and have fun Sasuke-kun."
The black haired boy opened his mouth to retort, but the jounin was gone, out the window and out of reach of the wrath of the sharingan user. He settled for growling at the trees outside, before bringing his attention to the blond next to him, who was holding up the piece of jewelry in disgust. He let it dangle from his finger tips, arm outstretched to examine the heart shaped atrocity from a distance, careful to avoid the obvious girl cooties it was carrying.
"Just put it on, dobe," Sasuke's glare was hiding a hint of amusement at the idiot's antics.
"But Sa-suke! Look at it! It's horrible! And it's girly!" Naruto was pouting.
"And you're gay! Just put it on already!" Sasuke didn't realize what he was saying until it was out of his mouth. "Ah, er..."
Naruto's eyes were wide, staring at the boy in front of him. The boy who was blushing. Not that the blond was in any shape to mock him for it, he was just as embarrassed. And quite shocked, as well. Had Sasuke actually said that? Well, yeah. Obviously. But was it necessary?
Naruto's jaw had dropped noticeably, and Sasuke was just kind of moving his mouth open and closed, making quite the mockery of certain aquatic type animals. You know, fish. He hadn't meant to say that, honest. It just kind of slipped out. Because, quite frankly, he had no real proof that Naruto was gay, other than those few kisses. And the fact that he didn't mind sleeping in the same bed as Sasuke. Which were, actually, fairly good reasons to assume that they boy was gay, or at least bi. But self doubt was a cruel lady, and decided to show her face to Sasuke's young and impressionable mind, pointing out to him that maybe Naruto was just experimenting or something.
The blond, on the other hand, was having a different battle. Was he gay? He had never really considered himself gay. Yeah, he liked Sasuke. Yeah, he liked kissing Sasuke. And he definitely liked using him a big cushy pillow. But did liking one guy make him gay? He used to like Sakura. Sakura wasn't a guy. Was she? No, she was too girly to be a guy. But he didn't like her anymore, he liked Sasuke. Who was definitely a guy. He hoped.
"Am I gay?" the question was blunt, and directed at Sasuke.
"How the hell should I know, dobe? I'm not you," Mind you, he had been the one to call the blond gay.
"Because you were the one to call me gay, I guess. Are you?" no, Naruto did not have any tact, and yes, it did have the tendency to place him in odd situations.
Kind of like the one that Sasuke had gotten them into. "I, uh. Well, I dunno. I like you, I guess. But as far as I can tell you're the only one," Sasuke was conveniently admiring the ceiling while confessing this; He wasn't big on these types of mushy things in the first place.
"You like me?" Naruto looked incredulous at the idea.
"What did I say, you idiot? Yeah, I like you,"
"Really?" Why was this so amazing?
"I kissed you, didn't I?" the glare was back in place.
"Well, yeah. But that was to shut me up and because I was annoying you and stuff. You know." No one had ever said that Naruto was very good at speaking in general, actually, much less being tact less.
"Che, yes, and we all know that I go around kissing everyone that I want to shut up and stop annoying me. I'd have kissed the entire female population of Konoha by now, and probably Kakashi-sensei as well, if that were the case,"
Naruto had his head cocked to the side, examining Sasuke. Searching for sarcasm that was obviously there and contemplating to himself. A dangerous feat, Naruto thinking. Strange things generally occurred when that happened. "So you really like me?" Or stupid things.
"YES, Naruto. I LIKE you," a growl accompanied the glare.
"Like... like like?"
And it felt like they were back at the academy. Twelve year olds were better at expressing their feelings than Uzumaki Naruto, and probably better at naming them, too.
"Yes, Naruto. I LIKE LIKE you. Will you please shut up already and put on your necklace?"
Naruto grinned. "Aww, Sasuke, I didn't know you cared so much," he held out the piece of jewelry to the boy. "Help me?"
Sighing in frustration, and a little bit of relief, he trudged over to the blond and grabbed the necklace from his grip, unclasping the hook as Naruto turned around. As much as he had faked sarcasm and annoyance, admitting that he liked his rival had not been easy. Sasuke was definitely not a fan of emotions. They generally led to someone getting hurt, either emotionally or physically, as he had found out, thus his utter lack of them for the past decade of his life. And his not so very practiced attempt at conveying them to someone as thick headed as Uzumaki Naruto. It had been... stressful to say the least.
He re-clasped the tiny piece of metal before dropping his hands to his sides and making a move to turn away and head out of the room. Naruto, however, had different plans. He turned around and grabbed Sasuke's wrist, stopping him from moving away from the blond at all. "So now that I can't fall asleep, can I kiss you again?"
Sasuke's eyes widened. Wow. He hadn't been expecting that. Sure, he had confessed that he liked Naruto as more than a friend. At least, he assumed that's what he had done, it was what he had meant to do. The whole like-like deal had confused him a bit. But he hadn't thought Naruto would be so receptive to it.
He stuttered dumbly as the blond grinned at him. "I'll take that as a yes."
And Naruto's lips were on his. Caressing gently, if a little clumsily, leading Sasuke in what was most easily classified as the most passionate, and least forceful, for that matter, experience they had shared to date. He responded eagerly, pushing Naruto back to the bed, the blond's knees buckling as he hit edge and tumbling backwards, pulling his rival on top of him. Hands were up the blond's shirt again, this time not trying to tickle, just to touch.
The sharingan user ghosted his fingers over Naruto's torso, receiving little gasps and mewls to urge him on in his exploration. He licked experimentally at the other boy's neck as he arched into Sasuke's touch, and got a groan in return. Taking this as a good sign, he nipped gently, pushing Naruto into the mattress, wanting to coax even more of those delicious sounds out of the boy. That, however, did not occur, as Naruto jerked in his grip, tensing up before falling limp, eyes closed, breathing immediately deep and slow. Oh god, not again.
That lying bastard of a teacher. Sasuke was going to KILL him. With a rusty fork in the heart, or something equally as evil. He said that Naruto wouldn't fall asleep anymore! And he had trusted him. He should have known better. He should have. Kakashi was a good teacher, there was no denying that. And he had trained Sasuke better than most other's ever possibly could have. But he should have known. With a grin like the one Hatake Kakashi was sporting as he left, there was no way that he couldn't have been pulling a prank. Damn him.
Snicker. Wait, that was definitely not Sasuke. He was in no mood to snicker, nor was he ever really. He might smirk, and he might chuckle manly on occasion, but he made it a point to never, ever snicker, grin or giggle. Glancing down proved to further his theory that it was not him who had snickered, as a certain blond boy underneath him was currently clenching his eyes shut tightly and trying in vain not to laugh himself silly. Damn Naruto and his pranks.
Well, if he wanted to laugh, he was going to damn well laugh. Doing something utterly un-Sasuke like, he smirked (note smirked, not grinned), and dove back down onto the boy, attacking him furiously with his fingers. They never had finished that tickling match earlier, had they? Naruto burst out laughing, squirming and trying to get away from his captor. All in vain, though, as he couldn't properly outdo Sasuke without the aid of his chakra, which was currently locked up tight by an inconveniently flowery heart necklace chained to him. After a few more moments of thrashing, Sasuke finally gave Naruto a chance to catch his breath, stopping his attack and opting to roll over to the side of the blond, resting his head on his arm and staring at the boy.
"You weren't asleep." Naruto grinned at the statement.
"You know, I don't think I'm gay," well, that certainly wasn't the answer Sasuke had been expecting.
"I think I just really like you, you know? Just you. That doesn't make make me gay. It makes me.. I dunno, a Sasuke addict I guess," Naruto was still grinning, imagining Sasuke as some weird drug.
Said boy just gave him an odd look, one eye-brow cocked. Well, at least Naruto wasn't playing with him. "Well, then, I don't think I'm gay,either."
Naruto just chuckled and cuddled up to him. "Hey, Sasuke?"
"Hmm?" He absently stroked the blond's hair.
"I'm hungry."
AN: That was actually... pretty bad I think. Compared to what I've been writing at least. Ah well, review and tell me what you think and how to make it better :)
