Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or anything in it.
Chap.7
The next few days went by in quiet tandem. The incident with Sasuke had left Naruto too confused to even say. He proceeded to avoid the raven-haired youth like a dog to fleas. Never turning around in his seat, Naruto could feel the coal eyes boring into his back. At lunch, Naruto even ate his lunch quickly and would run back into the building as soon as possible just not to have any contact with the Uchiha. This odd behavior and apparent avoiding did not go unnoticed by Sasuke. Actually, he found it rather amusing that Naruto felt so flustered. Every time Sasuke turned the corner, Naruto would dart away with some random excuse. That was ok though, Sasuke new he would have to give Naruto some time to mull things over. The blond would eventually come around and talk to him about it. Until then, the gorgeous, fair-skinned teen would wait until Naruto got over his little games.

Students chatted loudly during their lunch break. Naruto had just sat down and proceed with his speed eating hoping to leave unseen. Finishing his ramen, Naruto stood up and turned to the safety of the school building.
"Hey, Naruto! I feel like I haven't talked to you in ages. Sit down." Kiba had emerged from behind Naruto, slapping his back, before pulling Naruto down onto the bench seat next to him. "So, are you signed up for the big race? It's in two weeks you know. If you don't sign up soon, all the available spots will be taken."
"Um, I don't think I'm signed up. What's the race like. It is legal right?" Naruto maintained constant vigil as more of his friends joined them at the table.
"Ya it's legal. It's a HUGE race that spans a couple days. I guess you can think of it like the Iditarod Dog Sled Race but with cars and a desert. You sign up in groups and the team with the best overall time wins. There are also prizes for the best single racer. The entrance fee is kind of steep though. But the best group wins $500,000 to split and the best single racer gets $100,000!" Kiba was getting all excited now. "Shikamaru, Neji, and I have a team already."
"What're guys talking about?" The deep voice of the Uchiha questioned from directly behind Naruto. More than a simple shiver went shooting through the blonde's body with the weight of Sasuke's hands squeezing his shoulders. Kiba was totally oblivious to the nonverbal communication between the two. "So, Naruto, interested in the Abashi Racing Tournament?" Naruto sat still, too freaked out to reply. "Good. 'Cause I signed you up with me and Sakura. We'll win for sure." Sasuke looked up to Kiba from his leaning over Naruto. "Your group doesn't stand a chance, Kiba." A confident smirk seemed forever plastered to his face. He then leaned back down and whispered into Naruto's ear. "Don't let me down. Oh, and you can't keep avoiding me forever, son of the Yellow Flash." Sasuke walked away very self-assured leaving poor Naruto stark white with shock.
--------
Naruto lay on his bed contemplating his Sasuke situation. 'God, what should I do?' He rolled over onto his side, facing the wall. "Why do I have this feeling of deja-vu all the time, especially when Sasuke is around? And how did he know that Yellow Flash was my dad? What do I do about the race? Should I join Sasuke's team? And what about that kiss, that certainly wasn't an accident. I mean, it's not like I didn't enjoy it…I guess. Oh God…do I LIKE Sasuke? He is…sort of…kind of…ok, REALLY good looking, with his toned body, creamy skin, and o-so-soft raven hair…oh god, I sound like my elementary school pervy-teacher, Jiraiya.' Naruto ruffled up his hair frustratedly. 'Arrhhhh, What do I do?'
-----
Sasuke once again could be found in his car haven adjusting some odds and ends on one of his cars. He had been out club hopping for a couple hours with Neji and Sakura and was now clad only in his most sexy leather pants (Sakura's idea). After finishing tinkering with the car's engine, Sasuke noted a presence having just entered the garage. The moon was out, hushing the life below it, making any sound more evident in the late hours of the night. Sasuke didn't turn around.
"So Kakashi, let me guess, you couldn't sleep?" Sasuke turned around only to be pleasantly surprised. Naruto was leaning up against the frame of the garage door, his head lightly resting on the frame as well, his eyes closed. Sasuke saw that he was wearing baggy cargo shorts with a large dark blue hooded sweatshirt. A leaf-like design, bright green in color, stood out on the front of the shirt, Naruto's hands were casually in the front pocket, and black Vans clad his feet. Sasuke thought he looked rather cute.
"Nice outfit, Sasuke. Couldn't make this any harder for me, could you?" Naruto spoke in a slightly amused, yet quiet, and thoughtful way; opening his eyes, he slowly walked over to a Mercedes that had its hood open. He fiddled with a wrench that was perched on the edge of the car; his entire manner was calm and rather cool.
"Well, I try." Sasuke grabbed a towel and cleaned off his hands after checking his appearance. Naruto's collected demeanor told Sasuke to let Naruto do mostly all the talking. Seeing as how it was late, Sasuke could only assume that the blonde must have been thinking all afternoon and wanted to let it all out.
Naruto put the wrench down. He turned to Sasuke and ran one hand through his hair.
"Well, I guess you're waiting for me to speak then. Ok…first off, how did you know that Yellow Flash was my dad?" Sasuke closed the hood of the red sports car and sat on it, leaning back slightly with his arms behind him, holding him up.
"I had noticed that your car looked rather familiar. It wasn't until a couple nights ago when I found a picture of me with Yellow Flash that I put two and two together. You had told me that the car belonged to your dad, also; you look remarkably like him and you did freak out when I mentioned him. I then searched on the net and found out that you are indeed his son."
"Quite the little stalker aren't you?" Naruto chuckled lightly. "Ok…next, about this race. You really signed me up?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Because you're an excellent racer and the son of a famous one as well. Why do you feel the need to even ask? Aren't we friends? I'd think you could at least figure out how I feel." Sasuke looked at Naruto.
"I guess I should get to that topic now. About that kiss…"
"What about it?"
"That was intentional, right, not a freak accident? I mean, you weren't playing some kind of trick or being cruel?" Naruto tried to look everywhere but at Sasuke until he finally decided to glance side long into Sasuke's ebony eyes.
"No, it was intentional." Sasuke reached his hand out and beckoned for Naruto to come closer. "Don't worry, I don't bite." A small smirk, though it was laced with sincerity, graced his face. Naruto hesitantly walked over to Sasuke, hands still in his front pocket. Sasuke stood up slowly, not wanting to scare off the smaller boy.
"Do you really not understand what we have?" Sasuke asked sort of sadly while bringing up a hand to stroke the side of Naruto's face. The blonde's breath hitched audibly as he closed his eyes.
"I… don't know if I want to think. These thoughts circling my head are so confusing and…I'm afraid that if I think too hard all the good things in my life right now will disappear." Naruto opened his eyes and brought up a hand and captured Sasuke's against his own cheek where Sasuke had previously touched and pressed his cheek against it, nuzzling in a way, once again closing his eyes. "…also, I don't want what we have to not be real. I don't know how I feel about all of this…"
"Well, I guess I'll have to help you decide." Sasuke said in quiet reassurance before closing the distance between the two. He brought up both hands on either side of Naruto's face. He pressed his lips to Naruto's questioningly. It was soft yet had a sort of pleading earnesty behind it, wanting to become more. Naruto, for the most part, was only mildly surprised but the feel of Sasuke on his lips sent shivers from his toes to the roots of his hair. After a few moments hesitation, the blonde decided to experiment by pressing back a little with his own lips. This was encouragement enough for Sasuke, who began to pull on Naruto's bottom lip and kiss more avidly. The taller teen brought his hands down to Naruto's hips and pulled them closer together. With new abandon, Naruto slid his arms around Sasuke's slender neck and leaned up to get more on Sasuke's height level. The kiss gained momentum before Sasuke broke it off to place more kisses on Naruto's neck and jaw. He trailed kisses down his jaw to his neck, licking at the hollow at the side of the blonde's jaw. Naruto's breath became deeper and was panting, much like Sasuke at the moment, as he put his head back to allow more skin exposure.
With gentle guiding, Sasuke coaxed Naruto down onto the hood of the sports car. Taking a breath, the normally stoic teen looked down at the boy beneath him. Naruto was flushed and he was taking in deep breathes that lifted his chest up and down. Diving back in, Sasuke resumed his kissing on Naruto's neck while pulling his sweatshirt off. Sasuke pressed his hands onto the fox-boy's stomach which was pleasantly muscled and twitched with the new contact. Naruto also took some new liberties, like feeling Sasuke's abs and moving his hands up to Sasuke's back where Naruto clung to his shoulder blades. Naruto then captured Sasuke's lips again and began hungrily kissing them. Little moans coming from the blonde only made Sasuke more aroused and the fact that Naruto was rubbing his leg up against Sasuke's didn't help any.
The sound of a door slamming somewhere in the Uchiha mansion woke the two teens from their make-out session.
"Sasuke! You here?" A voice, deep like Sasuke's though more mature, echoed through the halls and was getting closer.
"Shit! He's back! Quick, Naruto, hide in the car, now!" Sasuke was off Naruto and shoving him into the car which had tinted windows. Naruto ducked down and went quiet.
The door opened to the garage revealing a very good looking, slightly older version of Sasuke. "Little brother? Oh, there you are. Fiddling around with the cars again? Really, you should find another hobby, or a girlfriend."
"Hello Itachi."
