Chapter 7

Everything was a blur . . .

Partial pieces of images flashed through Sasuke's mind. A whirr of blond locks here, a wide, full grin there. Sunshine was everywhere.

Then came the darkness. Angry eyes, a scowl of distaste. Storm clouds came thundering in, blocking out the sun, making the world seem small.

Sasuke took another swig of the clan wine he had held back for himself. He really wasn't much of a drinker, but right now all he wanted was to forget. Forget everything that had happened over the past couple of weeks. Forget the world outside exsisted. Forget him. . .

Letting the bottle fall from his fingers, it hit the floor, falling on its side, spilling some of the contents on the floor. Sasuke didn't care or notice, he was too wrapped up in the images that kept floating in and out of his mind. Naruto, Naruto, Naruto . . . They were all of him. Him and his goddamn sunshine. . .

Sasuke picked the bottle back up and hurled it across the room. It connected with the wall, shards splattering across the floor in bits that would no doubt wound any foot that dared trespass over them. The red wine dripped down the orange walls like blood, making Sasuke see more images. Images of times long ago when the darkness engulfed him, draging him down to its endless depths.

Sasuke's knees buckled. He fell to the floor, dizzy and disoriented. Nothing made sense anymore. Everytime he felt the cool almost inviting darkness, he would see the orange walls all around him, pulling him back up just enough so he wouldn't fall completely. It wouldn't work forever. Eventually it would be powerless to pull him back up.

Sasuke was scared.

For the first time in his life he was truly afraid of the darkness.

He could see it all over again. Every event played over in his mind. He gripped the sides of his head, not wanting to remember, wanting to forget. But he couldn't. How could he ever forget the sunshine he had seen in the smile when he first saw him again after six months of seperation.

There he was, his kitsune, walking down the street, Lee by his side, no doubt laughing at one of Naruto's antics. Sasuke's heart warmed at the sight as he peered over the corner of the building, not wanting him to know he was there just yet. He wanted to soak up the sight of him as much as he could. His legs were screaming at him to run and take him in his arms and never let him go. To keep him there to cherish, and love like no other could. Then his legs yelled at him to run over and kick the shit out of the guy who had just walked up and dared lay his hands on his kitsune.

What the hell! Who was this guy! Didn't he know he was putting his hands on the famous Uchiha Sasuke's spouse!

Before leaving, Sasuke had went to a jeweler's and bought a pair of rings. The perfect match for him and Naruto. His was on his finger, Naruto's was in his pocket, being kept until the right moment when he would tell Naruto how he truly felt, that he wanted to stay married with him until they grew old, and would prove he meant it by presenting him with the ring that matched his. It was all planned perfectly in his head, til this walking dead man came up and linked his arm with Naruto's.

Waiting for Naruto's reaction to be one of displeasure (surely?), he only saw him smile openly into the dark eyes of the stranger.

Sasuke turned around, leaning on the edge of the building, breath coming in gasps, as he saw red.

He would murder him. That guy looking loveingly into Naruto's eyes, and Naruto just smiling back at him.

What Sasuke didn't see was Naruto putting his other arm through Lee's as he began dragging them down the street towards the ramen stand indicating that he was hungry and wanted to eat with his two new best friends.

When Sasuke looked back over at the spot where Naruto had been he only saw sand swirling up to be trampled down by passerby's feet.

Damn. He was gone.

The red slowly began to fade, but the anger didn't. He knew Naruto probably wouldn't want to speak or even see him again if he just came out of nowhere and beat the guy to a bloody pulp. He didn't want that. He had to keep his cool if he were to ever to confront Naruto.

Naruto could feel his prescence. He was close. Too close. Sasuke was loosing his touch. Usually it took Naruto much longer to feel his chakra, but it was pulsing out in waves that screamed for Naruto to find him and kiss him senseless, tell him he was sorry for ever leaving. However he knew he couldn never do that. They could never be.

Naruto was now hurting inside which instantly warranted a big cheesy grin to be plastered on his face so everyone would think otherwise. Cracking a joke, Lee began to laughing as he now felt his eyes upon him, but from where?

Interrupting his thoughts was Hiroyuki, who slipped his arm through Naruto's, much to his displeasure, but he couldn't show that either. He just hoped Sasuke didn't come barreling out of nowhere and start pounding Hiro's face in.

Hiro was a good guy, if a little cold at times. He was funny, cute in the way he reminded Naruto of Sasuke with his dark hair and eyes. He was a good friend. Lately however, Hiro had been indicating that he wanted much more than just a friendship to which Naruto had politely been trying to decline, rather than his usual brashness of just telling him to 'Fuck off!'. He was a good friend not only to him, but to Lee as well and he didn't want to ruin it because of his big mouth.

Naruto felt it then. The anger that permeated the air that could belong only to a certain Uchiha and he knew he had to get Hiro and Lee away. Fast.

Linking his other arm with Lee's, he began pulling them down the street, faking hunger and smiling cheesily all the way to the ramen stand with his two laughing friends in tow.

He knew he had just escaped barely, when he began ordering his food, no longer feeling the hot, pulsing anger. Naruto was hoping Sasuke would see that he was fine and be on his way, but somehow he had a feeling it wasn't going to be that easy. Nothing would be that easy with Sasuke anymore . . .

A cheesy grin was once again plastered all over his tanned face as he began slurping his ramen.

Sasuke sat on a rooftop that overlooked nearly the whole of the village. Normally, he would be able to find Naruto by his chakra, it being so different from all the others, but he couldn't feel so much as a sliver of it. Naruto had gotten better at hiding. How Sasuke wished he hadn't.

Searching for him all day, everyone he asked said that had just missed his kitsune. Naruto seemed to be always two steps ahead of him, as if he knew he were here and was deliberately hiding from him. Naruto had gotten better at that too. Usually his loud mouth and bright clothes would stand out like a sore thumb, but Sasuke hadn't caught so much as a glimpse of him for hours, and now the sun was beginning to set.

'Damn,' thought Sasuke, as he watched the sun set even lower on the horizon. He was hot and tired and still needed to find a decent place to stay. Deciding tomorrow was another day, he headed off to find a hotel, all the while still feeling for that unique chakra.

Sasuke was thoroughly fed up. He had been playing cat and mouse with his kitsune now for three days. Any lesser man would've gone home, but Sasuke was determined. He would find his kitsune if it took him the rest of his life. He was sincerely praying it would never take that long, but with Naruto, you just never knew. That fox was always full of surprises.

He had seen the man who had touched his kitsune, and considered confronting him which involved many kinds of torture, but knew that would lead to too many questions so Sasuke meerly followed him, only to end up at the end of the day without having seen Naruto again.

He confronted the man, meaning to only ask a few questions about where Naruto stayed. Tapping him on the shoulder, Hiro spun around, eyebrow raised in annoyance. He was about to ask when Hiro poked him with a kunai, causing his world too go black.

Hiro waited for the smoke to clear, before he shook his head and rolled his eyes at the stupidity of clones . . .

Naruto decided finally to leave the Kazekage's home after three days of being cooped up. He hadn't wanted to leave for fear of running into Sasuke, but he sent a clone out to hopefully keep him from finding his true whereabouts.

Right now though he just couldn't take it anymore. There were still a few hours left of sunlight and he was craving some fresh cooked ramen. Finally stepping outside he heaved in a big gulp of fresh air.

It felt good.

A real grin dominated his features as he headed out. Right outside the gates, he ran into Hiro, waving at him to join him.

"Hey, Naruto! Come on! I'll treat you to some ramen!"

Naruto wasn't about to turn that down since he was headed that way anyway, only now he didn't have to empty his wallet. Running to catch up with Hiro he saw his clone rounding the corner. Quickly he pushed Hiro down a sidestreet, not wanting hiim to see it. He really didn't feel like explaining his situation to anyone.

"Naruto? What are you doing?" Hiro asked, flabbergasted as to why he was being forcibly pushed in the opposite direction.

"Ma, ma, my legs need a stretch. Let's take the long way," Naruto said in a quick cover up.

"O-okay," Hiro replied, eyebrows furrowed. He knew Naruto was lying, but he wasn't going to push it. He had a plan to carry through, and he didn't want anything to jeopardize it.

After ordering their food and sitting down to eat, Naruto could feel Hiro's dark eyes watching him like prey. He could have sworn it was Sasuke staring at him like he used to at Ichiraku's. It was unsettling and Naruto didn't care for it.

"So, Hiro. What have you been up to lately?" Naruto questioned, trying to get him to stop staring at him like the Uchiha he was trying to hide from.

"Oh, you know, this and that. What about you? I haven't seen you around for awhile. You been hiding or something?"

Naruto nearly choked on his ramen as Hiro hit the nail on the head. Did he know? He couldn't, could he? No, it was impossible.

"Na, I've just been helping Gaara out with a few things," he answered sheepishly, hand rubbing the back of his head.

"Hn."

A very Sasuke like answer. Naruto had to quit comparing Hiro to Sasuke. He would go crazy.

"Hey, I was wondering, could I possibly talk with you? I need to ask you a few questions," Hiro dived into his ramen almost as if he were embarassed.

Naruto knew already what he wanted to talk about, and he wasn't interested. He wanted the only person in the world he believed he couldn't have. Naruto stayed quiet, searching for and excuse to give Hiro.

"I promise it won't take long, and I will be real brief. I know Gaara probably still has some things for you to do," Hiro said pleadingly.

Naruto sighed in defeat. He might as well talk to him. Once Hiro set his mind on something he usually got it. He was much like Sasuke in that matter too.

Gah! He did it again! He had to stop, now.

"Very well, go ahead."

"Oh, not here of course. Could we maybe swing by my place?"

Naruto was skeptical about this but meerly nodded his head in agreement, his mouth to full of ramen to answer.

"Great!" Hiro cried enthusiastically.

Naruto was starting to wonder how he was going to let Hiro down easily. He might look, act, and sound like Sasuke, but the fact was that he wasn't. No matter how much he wished him to be.

Once they finished their ramen, they began heading down the street towards Hiro's house. Naruto saw his clone rushing down the street towards them, but luckily Hiro turned the corner and seemed not to notice.

Behind Naruto, as his clone went rushing past, a few minutes behind so did Sasuke's . . .

Naruto began thinking about how long he had known Hiroyuki. 'Only a few weeks,' he thought. 'Not too long.' He began wondering how he could have sprung an attraction for him in that short amount of time. 'He sure moves fast,' he thought.

They had gotten to Hiro's apartment a few minutes ago.

"Want some tea?" Hiro asked, walking up behind Naruto, placing his hands on his shoulders.

Naruto cringed. His mind kept screaming at him that it wasn't Sasuke, he shouldn't be touching you. But his touch was so warm and seemed to make all his fears, the stared and whispers disappear. Without thinking, Naruto leaned back, propping himself upon Hiro's chest. He could feel his heart beating fast.

"That sounds nice," Naruto replied casually.

Hiro disappeared leaving Naruto to his thoughts.

"What was I thinking?" Naruto whispered to himself.

'You were thinking it felt nice to have someone take all your fears and worries away,' his mind replied.

"But it's not Sasuke!" Naruto shouted.

"Who's Sasuke?" Hiro asked coming back from the kitchen holding two mugs of tea.

"N-no one. Oh, thanks," Naruto said sipping his tea.

He had to quit thinking of nothing but Sasuke with Hiro who was so much like him. It wasn't fair to Hiro. He was a genuinly nice guy who genuinly like Naruto. He just hoped he didn't confess it here, tonight. Right now Naruto was feeling too vulnerable.

"You probably already know what I brought you here to talk about right?"

"I have a feeling," Naruto replied, taking another sip of his tea and setting it down on the coffee table in front of him.

"Do you think there could ever be an us?" Hiro asked in a voice so low it was almost a whisper.

"I really don't think so," Naruto said. This was not what he had planned to do tonight.

"You're not gay, are you?" Hiro asked, laying it all out on the table.

Naruto realized this was the perfect escape route. The perfect excuse to give Hiro as his reason he didn't want to be with him, but somehow Naruto felt he owed Hiro the truth. He couldn't lie to a friend.

"No, its not that, there's-"

"Someone else?" Hiro asked.

"Yes, but that's not all. There are circumstances. Things about me that could jeopardize everything that-"

"What? Like something along the lines of you being the Kyuubi vessal?"

"How did you?" Naruto's eyes went wide in shock. How on earth could Go have found out?

"Let's just say I make a point to find out everything about my friends. Plus these marks here, on your cheeks," Hiro said, cupping Naruto's cheek and running his thumbs over his scars.

Naruto froze. Once again he was thinking of Sasuke and what he would do to this guy if he saw him touching him in so sweet of a way.

Hiro knew he had to take this chance while Naruto was frozen like this. He wouldn't ever get another.

Naruto saw Hiro leaning in, but he did nothing to stop him. He felt soft lips brush his, testing. Then they pressed harder in desperation, a tongue hit his lips, begging for entrance. All Naruto could think of was how Hiro kissed like Sasuke. He opened his mouth, allowing Hiro's probing tongue access.

Betrayal.

Naruto felt as if he had betrayed Sasuke for letting Hiro kiss him like this, but he thought he would rather have something close to Sasuke, then nothing at all. He was going crazy without him. Oh, how he wished he were here . . .

Hiro slowly slid Naruto down on the couch, laying himself on top. He moved his mouth to Naruto's jaw kissing it all the way down until he latched onto his neck, tasting his tanned skin.

Despite how good it felt, Naruto knew it had to stop. This wasn't Sasuke and this wasn't right. Damn his body's urges to hell for feeling this way. He began pushing at Hiro's shoulders, trying to push him off, but Hiro wasn't going anywhere. A tear fell out of the corner of Naruto's eye.

"No, please stop," Naruto pleaded.

Hiro kept going further, not hearing Naruto, his mind to fogged with passion. He was determined to have him.

"Please stop. Sasuke where are you?" Naruto whispered.

"I'm right here, Naruto," Hiro whispered in his ear.

'WHAT!' Naruto thought.

A loud pop resounded throughout the room followed by a waft of smoke. Sasuke now lay on top of Naruto on the couch instead of Hiro.

"Sasuke!" Hiro was Sasuke the whole time? But what about the Sasuke he had seen running around the village? Most likely it was a clone to throw Naruto off of thinking Hiro really was Sasuke. Clever bastard.

"I'm sorry, Naruto, I-"

Naruto slammed his lips on Sasuke's, desperate for contact. He had missed him more than he thought. Right now he didn't want to talk, he wanted to feel, everything he had told himself he couldn't. It was just them, with no one to stare or whisper or blame him for the end of the Uchiha's because no one here cared. Here they were just Sasuke and Naruto.

Sasuke was elated that Naruto had pulled him back in instead of pushing him away as he did last time. God knows he didn't deserve it for deceiving him, but he wasn't going to argue. His tongue prodded at the entrance to Naruto's mouth and he eagerly let him in to explore. Naruto tasted wonderful, and Sasuke couldn't seem to get enough. Every time their tongues would touch a shock of warmth spread throughout Sasuke's body, only to collect in his groin. His pants began to grow tight.

Naruto reached a hand behind Sasuke's head, trying to pull him in closer, while he ran his fingers through the silky raven locks. Sasuke was setting him on fire. Everywhere they touched burned with a cool heat, sending shivers down Naruto's spine, causing him to arch into Sasuke's straying hand. He could feel Sasuke's fingers trailing up under his shirt to touch bare skin. Naruto moaned when his fingertips ran over his nipple. Another surge of heat spread throughout Sasuke's body at the sound, making him grind his lower half into Naruto's thigh. It was all he could do not to scream at the wonderful feeling.

Sasuke needed skin contact. Lifting his lips away from Naruto's he began to peel off the tanned boys shirt, taking time to look over a chest he had seen many times before, but had never been able to admire.

He was beautiful. Moving himself to settle between Naruto's legs, he let his hands roam over his exposed upper body. Sasuke traced the Kyuubi seal with his tongue, eliciting sharp gasps and moans from the boy underneath him.

Naruto sat up and pulled Sasuke's shirt off, over his head, taking in the pale skin inch by inch. It was so beautiful in the darkness Naruto had to touch it. He explored Sasuke's torso, looking it over and feeling it like it was a piece of art, and to Naruto it was. Grabbing his shoulder he pulled the pale boy back on top of him, both letting out a hiss at the feeling of so much skin contact.

Sasuke's member was aching to be free of its confines, but he wanted to take it slow, make this last as long as he could. He wasn't pushed away this time and he wanted to please Naruto as much as possible as a way of thanking him.

Sasuke attached himself to Naruto's neck, nipping and biting, causing the most wonderful sounds to come out of the boy below him. Sasuke nuzzled right behind Naruto's ear, making him buck off the couch at the pleasure.

Sasuke let out an animalistic growl at the feeling. It was so wonderful to be like this, with him.

"Naruto," Sasuke said huskily in his ear, going back to kissing down his neck and along his shoulders. He moved to the other side, wanting to leave a mark, a sign that Naruto belonged to him. Naruto craned his head up, allowing Sasuke better access as he ran his fingers through his hair, gripping handfuls every now and then from the feeling of what Sasuke was doing.

Sasuke let a hand travel ever so slowly down Naruto's chest, teasing a nipple and getting another buck og his hips in response. He bit harder on Naruto's neck in retaliation. Letting his hand travel further, he ran his hand over the Kyuubi seal which had grown especially warm. Once Sasuke reached his waistband, he teased around the edges of it. He wanted to hear Naruto beg, and he didn't take long for Naruto to give in to Sasuke's unspoken demands.

"Sasuke, please," Naruto whispered, squirming underneath him, trying to move Sasuke's hand further down.

Sasuke moved his mouth further down instead, licking and teasing Naruto's nipples into tiny pert buds, making sure to pay equal attention to each of them. Naruto cried out, lifting his hips off the couch, begging for release.

"Sasuke!" Naruto cried when their groins met, rubbing together and causing Sasuke to moan in appreciation as well.

Naruto could not wait any longer. Puching Sasuke up off of him, he laid him back down on the opposite side of the couch. Grabbing the front of his pants, he undid the button, sliding the zipper down at the same time. He let his fingers brush ever so gently over Sasuke's erection.

Sasuke bit his lip, trying to stifle his moan, but it escaped regardless. The feeling of Naruto touching him in his most intimate place was too much. It was something he had waited such a long time for.

Naruto decided he enjoyed the sight of Sasuke helpless from lust underneath him. He also liked the fact that he was the only one who could make the famous Uchiha moan that way. Naruto wanted to see more.

Pulling the sides of his pants he ever so slowly pulled them down, letting his fingers trail over the heated skin all the way until Naruto threw his pants to the side, heedless as to where they fell.

Naruto soaked up the sight of Sasuke's naked body like a sponge. He was so gorgeous. A veritable walking Adonis. And he was all his.

Sasuke watched Naruto's eyes roam over his body in awe and was happy that the sight of him pleased his kitsune, but he wanted to see him in such a state as well.

Sasuke surprised Naruto by putting his mouth back on his, kissing him back down to lay on the couch. There was no more teasing this time. Sasuke let his hands run over Naruto's now hard erection. He was pleased with Naruto's moans, but he wanted to hear louder. He grabbed the waistband of his pants and had them off in a matter of seconds, exposing a veritable feast of tanned and well muscled flesh that Sasuke had every intention of exploring fully.

Sasuke looked up into Naruto's eyes, and saw a flush spread across his cheeks. Naruto looked away in embarassment. This wouldn't do for Sasuke.

"There's no need to feel embarassed, Naruto," Sasuke said in a hushed whisper.

Naruto looked back into Sasuke's coal black eyes that were now full of love and lust instead of their usual cold emotion.

"You're beautiful."

"Sasuke, I-"

Sasuke placed a finger over Naruto's lips. He already knew what he was going to say. Naruto took Sasuke's finger in his mouth and began to suck on the digit.

Sasuke's member twitched in response to the sight. He didn't know how much more he could take before he cracked. Taking it slow was no longer an option. There was only so much a sane man could take before the pressure became to much, and he was at the breaking point.

Sasuke removed his finger from Naruto's mouth, trailing it down his body.

"I've waited so long for you, Naruto. Please, let me make-"

"Don't ask, Sasuke. Just do," Naruto said, taking Sasuke's lips in a kiss.

LEMON! LEMON! LEMON! LEMON! LEMON! LEMON! LEMON! LEMON!

Sasuke broke the kiss, and began licking and biting his way down Naruto's torso, leaving small red welts in his wake. Finally reaching his manhood, he gave a lick to the underside of his memeber, getting a sharp gasp followed by a ragged moan of pleasure from Naruto. He tried to thrust his hips upward, but Sasuke held them down, rubbing his thumbs along Naruto's hipbones.

"Sasuke, please," Naruto pleaded, fisting handfulls of Sasuke's ebony hair.

Sasuke complied, placing his mouth over his head, engulfing it with his lips. He could taste the salty precum weeping from Naruto as he let his tongue lick the underside of his tip.

"Aagh!" Naruto moaned, trying to thrust himself further into Sasuke's warm, wet cavern, but he was still being held down by strong, warm hands.

Slowly, Sasuke slid his mouth down, taking Naruto further in his mouth, teasingly. He could feel Naruto's muscles straining under his hands, trying so hard to move. Sasuke ended his teasing, releasing his hold on Naruto.

Naruto thrust up in the rest of the way into Sasuke's willing mouth.

"Oh, God, S-sasuke," Naruto breathed out heavily. He felt Sasuke's tongue sliding up and down his shaft along with his lips. Felt his throat constrict around his head when he swallowed.

Naruto screamed. It was the most beautiful sound Sasuke had ever heard. He ran his hand up Naruto's chest, placing two fingers in Naruto's mouth, moving them in and out in a preview of what was to come. Naruto sucked his fingers in time to Sasuke's ministrations.

Sasuke moaned around Naruto, removing his fingers and placing them at Naruto's entrance, continuing to pump him fiercly with his mouth. Placing one finger inside of Naruto, he slowly began pumping in time to his lips. Moving his finger around, searching for that certain spot, Naruto let out a loud ragged groan, impaling himself further upon Sasuke's finger, letting him know he had found it.

Placing his other finger in, he began scissoring his fingers, stretching Naruto's entrance, every know and then he would rub over his sweet spot, causing Naruto to squirm and moan underneath him.

"Sasuke, I want you," Naruto said huskily, pulling on his shoulders.

Sasuke removed his fingers and kissed his way up to Naruto's mouth, letting him taste himself. Placing his member at his entrance he ran a hand through Naruto's unruly, blond locks, cupping his jaw at the end. He placed his forehead on Naruto's, looking him deep in the eyes, and rubbing his thumb along his cheek, feeling the scar-like whiskers.

"Naruto, my kitsune. I don't want to hurt you," Sasuke said, trying his best not to pound into Naruto.

"Sasuke, I need you, please," Naruto whispered, kissing Sasuke softly.

"Brace yourself," Sasuke said. In one swift motion he thrust himself into Naruto's eagerly awaiting entrance. He shuddered at the feeling of heaven.

At first, all Naruto could feel was the white hot pain. Sasuke was a LOT bigger than two fingers. Trembling, he tried to get used to the invasion as a tear slipped out of the corner of his eye. Sasuke kissed it away, soothing him and whispering comforting wordsin his ear, "Forgive me, I promise to make it feel better, my kistune."

Naruto slowly began to grow accustomed to the feeling of Sasuke inside him. He lifted his hips, telling him it was okay to continue.

Sasuke pulled back out nearly all the way, leaving only his head in before thrusting back in. Naruto felt so good, so tight it was all he could do to hold back from coming right then. He wanted to pound into him mercilessly, but the thought of pleasing Naruto and seeing the orgasmic looks on his face was more appealing. Every now and then he would run his memeber over Naruto's pearl, making him forget all the pain.

Soon Naruto felt nothing but pleasured sensations. Sasuke filled him so perfectly, he trembled from the feeling of it moving in and out of him in such fluid motions. He could feel himself nearing completion. Wrapping his legs around Sasuke's middle, he felt him grab his hip for more leverage as he begged for more.

"Touch me," Naruto purred.

Sasuke ran his hand down Naruto's chest, feeling the sheen of sweat that now covered his body from their fevered activities. He placed his hand around Naruto's member, pumping slowly at first until he was in perfect time to his thrusts. The sounds eminating from Naruto was ecstasy for Sasuke, finally getting to do this with Naruto after having dreamed of doing it for years.

"Gods, Naruto," Sasuke moaned. He was about to go over the edge, but he wanted Naruto to come first, wanted to give him body numbing pleasure like he had never felt before. Wanted to hear him scream his name as he fell into a blissful utopia.

"Sa-Sasuke, faster, onegai," Naruto begged. He was close, and he wished to feel it with none other than Sasuke. He was making him feel things he had never thought possible before he let himself go with Sasuke. He was in heaven.

Sasuke complied with Naruto's wishes, making sure to hit his sweet spot every time he thrust himself inside him. The pleasure was becoming unbearable and just when he thought he couldn't hold back any longer, Naruto's walls tightened around him as he came between their stomachs, screaming out his name.

"SASUKE!" Naruto's world exploded into one of ecstasy, the edges of reality blurring as he began seeing white spots dot the back of his eyelids as he shut them tight. Digging his fingernails in Sasuke's back, his body became numb, until he was surrounded by bliss when he felt himself being filled by Sasuke, his name escaping the dark boy's lips in a cry of completion.

Naruto's walls tightening on him was the last bit Sasuke could take. He thrust a few more times, riding out his orgasm, calling Naruto's name out into the night. Body shuddering, he collapsed in a very satisfied pile on top of Naruto. His name, where he was, everyhting was forgotten except for the being underneath him and what he had just given him. What he had made him feel.

"I love you, Naruto," Sasuke said placing both his hands on the side of his face, and putting his forehead down on his. He kissed him tenderly, wanting him to understand that everything he did was for him, how much he meant to him.

"Sasuke, I-" Naruto stopped. Could he tell him? He decided he would. The rest of the world and his fears be damned.

"I love you, Sasuke."

Sasuke's heart lifted and his darkness was no more upon hearing Naruto's words. For the first time he let Naruto see him smile. Kissing him full on the mouth, he let his love show through his actions.

Reaching down, Sasuke's hand emerged back up with a small black box. Naruto's eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"I want you to have this, if you will have me. To keep me as your own," Sasuke said, placing a ring just above Naruto's third finger, waiting for an answer.

Naruto's eyes brimmed with tears as he shook his head yes. Sasuke slid the ring down his finger and clasped his hand in Naruto's. Sasuke knew he would never be happier than right now. They were together.

The rest of the night went on, filled with the sounds of their lovemaking.

Naruto awoke to sunlight spilling through the blinds. At first he didn't realize where he was until Sasuke's arm tightened around him, pulling him closer. Naruto was about to fall back asleep until the realization of what he had done hit him.

He had ruined everything.

He had to leave, get away before Sasuke knew he was gone. Very carefully, so as not to wake Sasuke, he removed himself from his arms. Finding his clothes and putting them on, he looked down at his hand and saw ring he had let Sasuke put on him. Taking it off he looked at it in his plam. Gripping it tight, not wanting to let it go just yet, he headed for the door. Grabbing the handle, he was stopped by Sasuke's voice.

"Where are you going?" Sasuke asked, getting up and walking towards his kitsune. He was frozen in his tracks by Naruto's words.

"Goodbye, Sasuke. Stay here and leave me be. Everything is better this way," Naruto said opening the door.

"What! Why? What about last night? Are you telling me it meant nothing to you!"

"Last night was-" Naruto's knuckles turned white from his grip on the handle, "wonderful. But it was a mistake, Sasuke."

"A mistake? How could my showing how much I love you be a mistake, Naruto?"

"You'll understand someday, but for now-"

"Did you mean it when you told me you loved me, or was that a mistake as well?"

"Sasuke, this can't-"

"Did you mean it!"

Naruto's heart fell to his stomach. He couldn't look back, and couldn't answer. He let the ring fall from his hand, the sound of the metal hitting the floor reverberating throughout the empty, melancholy room. He walked out the door and didn't look back.

"I did, Sasuke," he said leaning on the outside of the door. "I did."

Sasuke was crestfallen. Everything he ever had or loved was just torn from him again. The darkness was taking back over fast. He had to get out of here. It smelled too much of betrayal and lies.

By the time he got to Konoha, he had broken down completely inside. Nothing mattered. He wanted to forget everything. Forget him.

Descending his stairs his orange walls laughed at him. He headed for the liquor cabinet.

Sasuke released the sides of his head as the memory left him. He had to leave here. Leave these orange walls, leave this place, leave him.

He remembered a spot in the forest his brother had shown him when he was little. No one else had ever been there as he went only to be alone. To think.

Leaving everything behind, he stumbled up the stairs, heading in the direction of the crystal cave, not planning on ever coming back . . .
