Author's Note: No sex quite yet, there is a subtle his to it happening and it's clear that it happened over night between Sasuke & Naruto (poor Shino-kun), but as you all noticed I added 'some language' to the description, the language will pick up, so if you don't like potty mouths, don't continue after this point, same goes for the sex. Don't like yaoi? Then don't even read this chapter.

Chapter Four: You Turn the Screws

"How'd you get yourself so worn out, Hateru-kun?" asked Hinata in her normal quiet voice, looking him over lightly, he wasn't looking peachy, frankly.

"I'm fine, we got in a bit of a fix, but this turned out fine, Hinata-san!" He said cheerfully to her, but she could see right through it of course. He mumbled something to himself that was about the Byakugan and it's abilities and she giggled light-heartedly over it.

He cocked a brow at her, sadly knowing the purpose of her giggles, he smiled and stood up from her supporting shoulder. They were just about to his apartment and he wanted to change and clean up a little bit before Neji came to visit him. He hugged her lightly and delicately, then smiled and waved to her before staggering up to his apartment. He passed his longtime neighbor the way, Kiba, who was most likely off to see Hinata, the two'd been dating for a number of years now. Some pegged her to be with Shino, but those who knew her well, knew it was most likely to be Kiba as Naruto was occupied with Sasuke. Which in itself had been a shock to a number of them. He smiled shoving his key into the door and pressing her open, then heel-kicking it shut out of habit, then he kicked off his shoes and yawned lightly. He slumped his slender form in one of his chairs a moment, heaving a sigh of utter relief prior to sliding off his Chuunin vest and stretching his mednin shirt over her head and off of his torso. He stood a moment, walking into his bathroom and turning on the shower to let it warm up as he headed to the kitchen to have a few pre-shower munchies.

He let out a sigh and munched down a couple sticks of chocolate doused pocky, he closed his eyes. He was glad to be home, and with that he felt two warms arm wrap about his waist and chin rest up his somewhat broad shoulder. He rotated his neck, to his astonishment...it was Neji... But when had he come in and how? And wait just a darn minute, when did he get back from his mission? Such thoughts spun through his mind until Neji pressed and rotated his own he head, leaning up and planting a deeply passionate kiss on Hateru's astonished lips. He closed his eyes, locked in the kiss and the embrace of the one person he'd truly cared for and desired to see after a long, brain diminishing mission. Neji rose a hand to caress through Hateru's hair, then along his cheek, breaking the kiss away, his white eyes watching the rapturous expression on his lover's face with a light snicker.

"How was your mission, Hateru-kun?" Neji's deep, smooth voice had an almost the most sexy husk to it at the moment.

Hateru could hardly spit out a sentence, so all Neji received was a low, pleasure 'mmm' from his lover's lightly pursed lips and almost dorky lovestruck expression. He loved this about him, he was almost too cute, it was one of this the things that kept his mind from wandering when he himself had a long or hard mission. He smiled to himself, pulling away just enough to trace his fingers along Hateru's spine, this being a slight weakness for the man, a cute one at that.

He recalled how they met, repeatedly in his mind because he was the best thing to happen to him other than the revelation that Naruto had given him. Hateru's older brother had been one of the medical ninjas to help heal him after the chase for Sasuke-kun and he met Hateru when thanking the Makuniri clan for their aid. The boy had watched him all through the academy years, he recalled this yes, but he never considered it to mean anything in particular. He smiled recalling the dinner that Hateru had made him that night, that mission, it was his first after the Sasuke retrieval and it was with Hateru's team. The other girls rolled their eyes at Hateru, of cour they'd known of his crush on Neji for ages, even their sensei Kyoko knew of it, but that's because it was painfully obvious. At that point, Neji knew himself enough to know he couldn't see it and why he couldn't see it. He was still at that point, blind.

"Let's get you cleaned up and relaxed, then we'll have diner..." Neji whispered lightly into Hateru's ear, guiding the boy back toward the bathroom, where a light steam was finding its way out the doorway. He thanked his lucky stars that Hateru had come into his life, he was unsure what would have become of him if he hadn't met Hateru.

--------------------------------------------

"Naruto, we have got to get back tomorrow morning." Shino said flatly to the two lovebirds who were, as Shino liked to put it pleasantly 'sucking one another's faces off'.

"Oi, oi, Shino, a few more minutes..." Naruto waved it off like it'd been a non-time consuming recreational activity to play tonsel hockey with Sasuke.

Shino sighed and quirked an angry eyebrow, he hated being on missions with these two because this is how it always... and he did mean ALWAYS, as it turned this way as soon at the mission's tasks were done. The two would settle down and suck each other's faces off, sometimes it appeared to him as though they were molesting one another. He kicked a pebble away in the opposite direction, these 'few minutes' had repeatedly been requested about 5 times prior and during the past two or three hours. The night time was drawing quite near and he knew at such point, that they'd have to pitch a tent... Well his would be separate as his companions would be having, as Kiba had put it once, 'wild and vicious mansex'. He adjust his sunglasses a moment and stood at the edge of the hill and watched at the sun disappeared behind the mountain and slowly a glorious blue painted the sky. He turned to view his companions and practically had a nosebleed.

To his, well not necessarily dismay, the two were now entangled in a mass of steaming kisses. Sasuke's hand was pressing up Naruto's shirt and Naruto's hand was tracing it's way beneath the dark-haired boys pants with a slight, but clearly naughty giggle. The blonde-haired boy was tracing his other hand through the other boy's hair, while muffled and pleasured huffs came from the locked lips of the two. Shino tried to look away for a period, but just couldn't and then he slapped himself mentally for enjoying such an occurence. He took in a very deep breath and sighed deeply, he then cleaned up the little stream of blood that had decided to leak from his left nostril from the sadly, impure thoughts coursing through his mind when he saw that.

The two men continued to entertain one another's body well into the evening, as such things continued the angry tick on Shino's eyebrow. He was unsure if it was jealousy or anger, really. It was confusing to him really, he even got this way whenever he saw Kiba with Hinata or even Shikamaru with Temari. He hadn't dated much in his Genin days, though after he became Chuunin there was a girl who was quite insistent on meeting him in a number of ways, he still didn't know and prefered to leave it at for the current time. She was nice though and he enjoyed her company, her name was Kurika and she was a great kunoichi who'd become a Chuunin just a year ahead of himself. She wasn't like most of the other girls in Konoha who shuddered at the thought of even befriending an Aburame, let alone get close enough emotionally to date one and she appeared unphased by it. In actuality, she appeared to love bugs as much as he did, she loved to go collect bugs with him and though she would watch him for most of the journey, she'd still observe the many specimens of bug along the way. His mind peacefully drifted off into happy thoughts of her, though as soon as slumber seemed to greet, as did the new day and he heaved a great and somewhat disgruntled sigh as he rose back up from his tent.

He flicked a few pebbles at the foreheads of his companions, who were currently sprawled atop one another in a strange manner. The first to wake was a groggy Sasuke, who giggle at Naruto's position, awakening the blonde from his slumber. Sasuke pressed his fingers through Naruto's golden locks with a smile, as the blonde groggily rubbed his eyes and yawned. Naruto was just far too cute, thats what swam through Sasuke's mind as he watched his lover awaken. Then he looked to Shino who was shaking his head, while gathering up their equipment which was strewn about the ground and Sasuke stood to help him, leaving Naruto to attempt waking up on his own. As Shino an Sasuke gathered their things, Naruto rubbed his eyes and yawned several times prior to finally waking himself fully and aiding the duo in getting ready to head back to Konoha.

"Sorry about last night, Shino..." Sasuke smiled lightly and rubbed the hack of his head, a bit nervously.

"Eh, it's all good, let's just get back to the village, so we can all get our days off!" Shino nodded and spoke in what some might consider a cheerful tone, for him at least.
