Chapter 14: Into You
"Guess what?" Naruto said excitedly as he barged his way into Sasuke's apartment. They were in a safe side of the city so Sasuke often didn't lock his door during the day when he was home, allowing the blond to come and go as he pleased. Naruto didn't give the other man time to respond, "We're going on our first major tour. No more of these little tours where we're gone for like a month." Despite having just been at a meeting with his label, the man was dress casually in jeans and an old t-shirt. His hair was a mess and sticking up every which way. Sasuke wasn't any better in his sweats and t-shirt, but he had just been home, not dealing with people that made life altering decisions for him.
The blond either couldn't tell or didn't care about the forced smile Sasuke was giving him. Sasuke wanted to be happy for him, but things were bad enough when Naruto left for short tours, he could only imagine what it was going to be like when he was gone for months at a time. "That's great," he tried to sound excited for him.
"You should come with me," Naruto grinned at the thought of Sasuke being on tour with him. He didn't notice the way Sauke frowned.
"Baby, you know I can't go on tour with you," Sasuke sighed, hating the way Naruto seemed to lose some of his excitement. "It's not that I don't want to, but I've got bills to pay, I can't just leave my job. You know I don't really have my parent's support to fall back on right now. I mean they seem to be coming around a little, but if quit, they'll probably disown me completely."
Naruto's eyes hardened, "You're just like him. Your family means more to you than I do." They both knew that he was referring to their past life. It seemed to be a reoccurring issue whenever Sasuke brought up his family, so they tried to avoid the topic.
"Naruto, if I were like him I wouldn't be with you," he reminded the blond. "I chose you, not them, but I really do need to have a job. If I don't then I won't be able to afford an apartment or food or anything that I need to survive," he hoped the other man would understand his point of view.
"Fuck that, we can make it work somehow," Naruto argued. "Why do you have to make a great day turn bad?" he huffed, walking past Sasuke to get a beer out of the refrigerator. "Can't you just be happy for me?" he opened the bottle, not even bothering to toss the cap as he took a drink.
"I am happy for you, you know I support you, I just can't go with you," Sasuke tried to remain calm, not wanting it to turn into an actual fight. "I wish I could, but I'm just being realistic as to what's best for us in the long run. Once you're a big star and we don't have to worry about money, I'll join you. Until then, I need to work," he tried to placate him, though he wasn't sure Naruto would ever be at that point if he kept going down the path he was going. All he could do was support him and try to steer him away from the destructive behavior that came with touring.
"You think I'll make it big?" Naruto asked, his insecurities showing.
"I know you will," Sasuke walked over to him, taking the beer out of his hands and setting it on the counter so he could wrap his arms around the blond. "I don't know when, but I know you will."
"I'm sorry for saying you don't believe in me," Naruto mumbled as he kissed Sasuke's neck.
Sasuke ran his hand through Naruto's messy hair, "I know you don't mean it."
Sasuke woke up, unsure how he felt about his dream. He understood why he had that particular dream. The fact that Naruto's album was dropping that day and then he'd be going on tour in less than a month worried him more than it should. He knew he just had to trust his Naruto, but that didn't mean it stopped him from dreaming about their past life and what happened to them. No matter how much he tried to separate the two, there would be that concern until it was proven that he had nothing to be worried about. Meaning, until Naruto actually left and there was no cheating, he probably wouldn't feel one hundred percent secure.
The dark haired man rolled out of bed, texting his boyfriend congratulations for the release of his album. He didn't even need to look at the charts or social media to know it was going to do well. He'd already heard it before everyone else, one of the perks of being the boss and the boyfriend. He was surprised when Naruto wanted to release one of the songs that was about their past life, but considering his last album was all love songs, it was actually a good idea. 'Old Me' got people talking when he'd released it two weeks earlier. They all wondered what happened to make him feel that way.
Sasuke just laughed when Naruto told him he wants to call it the 'Into You' tour. That love song was going to be his next release. Naruto had written 'Into You' when they were still figuring out their relationship. They had been in that limbo stage somewhere between boyfriends and friends. He opened his rarely used Twitter account to see the reactions, mostly so he knew what kind of mood Naruto would be in. Most posts were positive, though there were some that claimed his soulmate must have broken his heart or that Naruto himself messed up. Some wondered if he'd given up on finding his soulmate, which made Sasuke laugh.
He was pretty sure what confused people the most was that Naruto found a way to write from all points of view. He had his love songs like his first album about having and loving a soulmate. Then he had songs about messing up, which were based on himself in his prior life. Lastly, he had songs from Sasuke's point of view. Naruto asked him about how he felt in both his current and past lives and made sure he was comfortable with him writing songs about it. Sasuke was even a ghost writer on some of the blond wanted to show all sides of the story, even if no one else knew what they were about.
One of the biggest arguments Naruto had with the label was using male pronouns in the songs. Sasuke backed him up, which gave him a lot of leeway. In the end most of them ended up being neutral. Now that he found Sasuke, he refused to sing about a girl just because that was the norm.
His phone rang, displaying Naruto's picture. He smirked as he answered, "I hear you've given up on trying to find your soulmate."
"Good morning to you too," Naruto laughed. "So have you seen it already or do I get to tell you that I sold out my world tour already?" the blond told him excitedly.
"That's amazing, baby," it didn't surprise him that Naruto's tour was sold out once tickets were released the day before. "Do you think we need to add some more dates?" he asked as he walked into his kitchen to make himself breakfast. He could hear the excitement in Naruto's voice and was surprised that it made him smile. Perhaps it was the soulmate bond doing its job, but he genuinely felt happy for him.
"And be away from you longer than necessary? No thanks," Naruto responded as if it were the most ridiculous idea.
Sasuke shook his head, "I meant in between dates, not at the end." He didn't want to admit how happy it made him to have Naruto reject the idea just based on being away from Sasuke for a longer amount of time. "Besides, I already told you I'll find some show to surprise you at," he reminded him of the promise he'd made earlier that week when Naruto had been stressing about how long his tour is going to be.
"I have a love hate relationship with surprises right now," Naruto grinned. "I'm super excited you're going to come to one of my shows, but at the same time I need to know which one. I have to be extra sexy on stage that night," he somewhat joked.
"I'm sure you'll be sexy every night," the words slipped out of Sasuke's mouth. He could just imagine the cocky smirk on Naruto's face. "Don't let that go to your head," he mumbled, which just made Naruto laugh. Sauke didn't know when he'd gotten such a soft spot for Naruto, but somewhere along the line just his laugh made Sasuke smile at least a little bit. He wondered if it were a soulmate thing or if he had somehow just became whipped for the blond. Perhaps it was a combination of both. At least he knew the feeling was mutual.
"You're coming to the album release party tonight, right?" Naruto asked, though he already knew the answer.
"Of course," Sasuke confirmed. "But I do need to get some things done today so I won't be late," he told him.
"Is that your way of hanging up on me?" Naruto teased. "I at least expect you to wear something showing off your tattoos tonight," he told him. "That's my only request."
Sasuke chuckled, "You mean making sure my mark is visible." While Naruto did seem to think his tattoos were cool, he knew the mark was far more important. "You're not fooling anyone."
"You've caught me," Naruto laughed. "I know no one else may be able to tell, I know it's there," he told him, a little bit of possessiveness in his tone.
"You already have me, you don't have to make sure my mark is on display," he reminded him.
"Hm, doesn't make me want to see it any less," Naruto told him, his tone completely serious.
Sasuke rolled his eyes, "I'll see you tonight." They said their goodbyes before hanging up. Sasuke looked up to see Suigetsu smirking at him. "Don't even say it," he warned him as he ate his breakfast.
Suigetsu flicked his phone a little, causing it to make a whip sound from whatever app he was using. Sasuke glared at him, making Suigetsu laugh, "Technically, I didn't say it."
"Fuck off," the dark haired man huffed as he finished his breakfast and put his plate in the dishwasher. "I hate you," he mumbled as he walked back to his room to get ready for the day, annoyed with the way Suigetsu seemed to endlessly tease him when he heard how he talked to Naruto.
The day seemed to drag on for both Naruto and Sasuke. The blond was constantly texting Sasuke, distracting him from his work. He finally had to tell him to stop or he would be late to his party. Naruto begrudgingly stopped and let Sasuke work in peace. Once he was off, Naruto started texting him again, asking what he was wearing, but Sasuke wouldn't tell him. He said it was a surprise, making Naruto curious.
That night Naruto was already at the club with his friends, waiting for Sasuke to arrive. Naruto didn't do anything too crazy for his appearance. He made sure to wear clothes that were a little tighter than his usual. His black skinny jeans had been a little difficult to get on, but once they were on they fit fine. He made sure to wear what he knew was Sasuke's favorite blue shirt. Sasuke never vocalized that it was his favorite, but he could tell just from the way that he looked at him when he wore it. There was a special type of hunger in his eyes.
Naruto hadn't expected Sasuke to show up in tight leather pants and black v-neck. His hair was styled in a way he was sure only Sasuke could pull off. He could see Sasuke's tattoos and, most importantly, the mark that matched his own. One wouldn't see it if they weren't looking for it, but Naruto knew exactly where to find it.
Kiba didn't even wait to be told to move, he slid over to make room for Sasuke, making sure to leave room on his other side for Suigetsu. The light haired man was dressed nicely, but not as over the top as Sasuke. Usually there would be more of a dress code, but they had rented out the place for Naruto's album release party so if you were on the list, you got in. Most of the people there were for networking, the real party would be when they went back to Naruto's place after and it was just their friends.
"Wow," was all Naruto could say as Sasuke sat next to him, closer than really necessary. They thought that nobody at the club would say anything about their relationship, so the blond pulled him close and kissed him. "You look so sexy," Naruto whispered in his ear.
"I'm not drunk enough for you guys to be doing this," Kiba told him, placing his arm on the back of the booth behind Suigetsu. Their relationship was still a little odd. They'd hook up every so often but they weren't exclusive. If they weren't soulmates it'd be seen as just a normal friends with benefits situation, but their bond made it a little different.
"I'll never be drunk enough to watch that," Suigetsu put his hand high on Kiba's thigh, being bolder than the brunet. "Just do us all a favor and don't fuck in the bathroom," he smirked, knowing that they hadn't gone that far yet.
"It's my party, don't tell me what to do," Naruto scoffed. When he saw the look on Sasuke's face he quickly added, "Only Sasuke can tell me what to do." He grabbed Sasuke's hand and pulled him towards the dance floor before their friends could tease them any further.
"Who said I wanted to dance?" Sasuke asked, though he willingly began to grind against the blond. This time there was no pretense that it was the alcohol making them do it. They danced close, Naruto's hand making its way to Sasuke's ass while Sasuke's hands were tangled in the blonde's hair.
"Let's skip the after party," Naruto suggested, leaving kisses on Sasuke's neck. Their actions probably weren't appropriate but neither of them cared. Sasuke was already known for being the rebellious child, his tattoos alone gave people the wrong impression. It was no secret that no matter what he did in the industry, some people wouldn't take him seriously no matter what his last name was.
Sasuke's eyes were filled with lust, "I have a better idea." He pulled Naruto towards the bathrooms, not caring that most people that saw them had some idea of what Sasuke was thinking of doing. They walked inside, Sasuke's lust filled mind not caring if anyone else was there as he pulled the blond into one of the stalls.
"I'm not fucking you in a club bathroom," Naruto told him, not to show how affect he was with the way Sasuke was kissing his neck.
"Who said anything about fucking?" Sasuke asked as he unbuttoned Naruto's jeans, pulling them down just far enough to release his already hard cock. Naruto moaned a little as Sasuke wrapped his hand around his cock and started pumping. "I'm not letting you take me dry," he told him. "That doesn't mean we can't get off."
"Fuck," Naruto cursed as he bucked up into Sasuke's hand, too far gone to care.
Sasuke smirked as he sunk down onto his knees, "That's what I thought." He ran his tongue up the underside of Naruto's cock until he reached the tip, licking along the slit before taking the head into his mouth.
"I'm not going to last long," Naruto warned him as he gripped the other man's hair. That only seemed to encourage Sasuke as he took more of Naruto into his mouth, swirling his tongue has he hollowed his cheeks. He lacked experience so he was just going off of what he's read and had seen in his dreams. With the noises Naruto was making he figured he was doing a decent enough job. It wasn't long before Naruto was trying to pull his head back as a warning he was going to cum, but Sasuke just continued, letting Naruto cum in his mouth. Naruto stared at him as the other man swallowed, though there was still a little bit left over on his lips. The blond watched as Sasuke licked his lips and he was worried he might get hard again, "Fuck, that was hot."
The dark haired man stood up, a little proud of himself with how wrecked Naruto looked. He took the blonde's sensitive cock and tucked it back into his pants. "I take it I did a good job."
Sasuke never realized he had somewhat of a praise kink until Naruto said, "So good, baby." The blond kissed him, not caring that he was tasting himself as he deepened the kiss. "Now it's your turn," he said huskily, surprising Sasuke as he flipped their positions.
"You don't have to," Sasuke started, but Naruto put his finger over his lips to silently tell him to stop talking.
"I want to," he responded, kissing him as he unbuttoned Sasuke's pants. The leather made it a little more difficult to pull down. Naruto raised an eyebrow when he noticed Sasuke wasn't wearing any underwear, "You plan this?"
Sasuke shook his head, "You try buttoning these with anything underneath." He was kind of lying, as he was hoping something would happen with them tonight. He wasn't sure how far he was ready to go, but he hadn't expected it to be blow jobs in the club's bathroom.
Naruto wasted no time, getting on his knees as soon as he took out Sasuke's cock. He wanted to make Sasuke feel as good as the other man made him, but the only reference he had was porn and what the Naruto in his dreams had done so he just tried to copy the movements he'd seen. Sasuke let out a moan when Naruto used his tongue to play with the head as his hand pumped the rest of his cock. He was a little surprised at how vocal Sasuke was when he took him further in his mouth. He enjoyed the way Sasuke let out a string of curses and whines as Naruto bobbed his head. He almost gagged when the tip hit the back of his throat, but he kept going. His hands were on Sasuke's hips to stop him from moving as Naruto continued to suck and lick his cock.
"I'm gonna cum," Sasuke warned. Naruto didn't stop, letting Sasuke ride out his orgasm, refusing to let any drop go to waste. "Fuck, baby," Sasuke panted. He watched under hooded eyes as Naruto got up, swallowing just like Sasuke had no long before. He tucked himself back into his pants, pulling them up as he tried to make it look like he hadn't just been blown in the bathroom. Perhaps the strength of their bond was a blessing, neither one had experience so they would learn together what they each liked. The bond seemed also make them more in tune, as if they could communicate what they liked without even speaking.
"We should probably get back out there," Naruto said, running his hands through Sasuke's hair to try to make it less of a mess. They may not have had sex, but it would be obvious to anyone that they had done something. Their pupils were large, lips swollen, hair a mess, and clothes slightly wrinkled.
"It is your album we're celebrating, I think you can do whatever you want," Sasuke couldn't help but want to touch the blond. He never thought he was one for physical affection, but everything was different with Naruto.
Naruto hummed, "I mean, if the boss says I can do whatever I want, I guess it's true."
"You trying to sleep with the boss to get what you want?" Sasuke teased.
"Yeah, cause you're all I want," Naruto lightly kissed his lips.
"You just had to ruin it by being cheesy," Sasuke blushed. He wouldn't admit that he actually liked Naruto's cheesy lines, but the blond knew he enjoyed them. Naruto loved the way they never failed to make Sasuke a little flustered. "We should get back out there," Sasuke said, knowing that someone might come looking for them.
Their lack of experience and built up sexual tension made it so neither of them lasted very long, but it was still long enough for people to notice they're gone. "Fine, let's go," Naruto sighed. They walked out of the stall to find the bathroom was still empty. He wondered if anyone had walked in and heard them, but kinda liked the idea that someone might have. Naruto wasn't sure if that made him an exhibitionist or if he liked it because it meant someone outside of their friend group knew that Sasuke was his. Sasuke hadn't been very discrete when he pulled him into the bathroom.
They made their way back to the table, getting a few stares from people. Some people were clearly judging, while others gave them a suggestive grin. Both made Sasuke roll his eyes. When they got to the table they found Kiba and Suigetsu much closer than when they left them and Sakura was talking to some girl that neither of them knew. "Hey guys," Naruto greeted with a grin that made it even more obvious as to what they had just done.
"I thought I told you not to have sex in the bathroom," Suigetsu shook his head as he watched the two sit down. Or more, Naruto sat down and pulled Sasuke onto his lap. "You guys are disgusting," he joked, happy that Sasuke was finally happy.
"I mean, technically we didn't fuck," Sasuke shrugged as he shifted a little so he was more comfortable on the blonde's lap. He knew it'd be pointless to even try to sit elsewhere, the bond wasn't letting go any time soon.
"I don't want to know," Sakura chimed in.
"We all know that's a lie," Kiba called her out. "The minute you and Naruto are alone you'll be begging for details of what happened," he took a drink. "In case you're wondering, that poor guy over there with the red hair walked in and immediately ran out. He seemed traumatized," he told them, confirming that someone did indeed walk in on them.
"Traumatized or turned on?" Naruto chuckled. He looked over at the guy that Kiba was talking about, but the other man seemed to be avoiding looking at them at all costs. "Do you think he'll say something?"
"Not unless he wants to risk his job," Suigetsu shook his head. "He works for you, one of the manager's assistants. I'm honestly not even sure how he got invited."
"Probably a spy planted by my father," Sasuke scoffed, sure that he was going to get torn a new one by his father. He found that he was caring less and less about what his father thought each day. He'd been considering leaving his position at the company, but had yet to talk to anyone about it. He'd worry about what he was going to do once Naruto was on tour, until then he wanted to just enjoy his time with the other man without the stress of his father.
Naruto shrugged, "Well, I'm sure your father will love to hear about your sex life." Sasuke leaned his head back so it was resting on Naruto's shoulder. "You tired?" Naruto asked, to which Sasuke just nodded.
"An orgasm will do that to you," Kiba told him as if they were talking about the weather.
"Kiba," Sakura scolded.
"What? It's true. At least a good one will," he responded. "Right, Suigetsu? You're tried every time," he winked.
"You know how you said you don't want to know about our sex life?" Sasuke interrupted before Suigetsu could answer. "I don't want to hear about yours. Tell Sakura later so she doesn't have to ask about me and Naruto."
Kiba laughed, "Oh, she'll ask about you and Naruto regardless. It's not like he's been getting laid for years. This is new and exciting for her."
"I'm sitting right here," Sakura huffed, offended though she knew it was true. She was going to try to get all of the details out of Naruto later. The fact that it was the infamous Sasuke Uchiha just made it that much more interesting of gossip. The man was known for his stoic 'I don't give a shit' attitude, she had to know if he were the same way in bed. She betted he was a freak, the quiet ones always were.
"I don't think we were introduced," Naruto said to the girl sitting next to Sakura.
"I'm Hinata Hyuuga," the woman quietly introduced herself. She was a bit timid, but her last name was well known so it made sense why she was there. She was one of the heirs to the Hyuuga empire, or at least that's what they called it in the business industry. Her father was a well known business man who owned a lot of companies. Her sister seemed to steal most of the spotlight, which is why a lot of people didn't recognize her right away.
"Is your father here tonight?" Sasuke asked. He was trying to determine how bad the scolding would be from his father. If the head of the Hyuuga empire was there, it'd be pretty bad.
"No, he's away on a business trip," she said with a shy smile.
"How'd you meet Sakura?" Naruto asked. The two women didn't seem to be very similar so it didn't make sense why they'd hang out. The dark haired girl just turned her arm so he could see her mark. "Oh, well I guess congratulations are in order for you guys too," he grinned, knowing how happy Sakura must be to have found her soulmate.
They talked for about an hour more before calling it a night. Some people came up to them and congratulated Naruto, but none dared to mention anything about Sasuke sitting on his lap. They knew their boundaries and it was better not to say anything. No one knew if Fugaku approved of the relationship, but either way it wasn't a good idea to talk about it unless one of them brought it up.
"I know we were all going to go back to my place, but I think I'm calling it a night. I'm tired," Naruto told them as Sasuke moved off of his lap.
"Just say you guys are going to go back to your place and fuck," Kiba told him. "Or maybe it's better to go back to Sasuke's since Suigetsu won't be there," he winked at the light haired man. Suigetsu just shook his head but didn't deny that he was going to go to Kiba's once they left.
"Please go back to Sasuke's place," Sakura practically begged.
"We're not going to go fuck," Sasuke said, mostly because he was too tired to do so. It had been a long day and all he really wanted to do was fall into bed.
"Does that mean I can't come back to your place?" Naruto pouted.
Sasuke sighed, knowing he wouldn't be able to refuse that look, "Of course you can."
"Seriously, I just need to have that whipped sound at the ready whenever you two are around," Suigetsu teased.
"Shut up and go fuck Kiba," Sasuke snapped as he grabbed Naruto's hand to leave.
"I plan for him to fuck me tonight, but I'm not picky," Suigetsu retorted, laughing when Sasuke ignored him and left with Naruto.
"You bring your own car or do you want to ride with me?" Sasuke asked as he laced his fingers with Naruto's.
"Kiba gave me a ride and I'm pretty sure he's going with Suigetsu," Naruto told him. He'd be lying if he said that he hadn't hoped he and Sasuke would end up together in bed at the end of the night, even if it were just to cuddle. Naruto kissed him when they reached Sasuke's car, letting go of his hand so he could get into the passenger seat.
Once they arrived at Sasuke's house, they decided to take a shower together before bed. There were a few kisses, but nothing sexual happened. Sasuke lended him some clothes to wear to bed. Both of their phones kept going off while they laid in bed. All they wanted to do was sleep, but both knew that something had to be going on for people to be calling them non-stop. Sasuke checked his text messages, all of them pretty much the same, 'Check Twitter' He looked at Naruto confused, knowing that he must be getting the same messages.
Naruto opened up the app and the first thing he saw was that they were trending. He clicked on it to find that someone had taken pictures of their night. He read the article, thankful to find that there was nothing about their bathroom escapades. The comments filled with confused and disappointed fans ask if he'd given up on finding his soulmate. Sasuke's views on soulmates wasn't exactly a secret so people had no doubt that he'd do something like 'stealing' someone's soulmate. The blond frowned, hating to see how disappointed his fans were. They didn't know that Sasuke was his soulmate and many were accusing him of going against everything he wrote about on his first album or has said in interviews.
"Baby, calm down," Sasuke said, knowing how upset Naruto was. "Look at me," he turned the blonde's head away from his phone. "I know this isn't how we wanted to tell people, but I think we have to tell people," he told him, trying to comfort the other man. If it were just him then Sasuke wouldn't care, but he could see how affected Naruto was by everything.
"I thought you didn't want to say anything," Naruto was confused. He didn't want to force Sasuke to tell people about their relationship.
"I didn't want people in our business while we were figuring things out," Sasuke corrected him. "I'd like to think we have most things figured out and it's not like after those pictures anyone is going to stop getting into our businesses if we don't give them answers."
"You really want to tell people?" Naruto asked, worried that Sasuke wasn't really ready.
"Yes, I do," he confirmed, no hint of any hesitation in his voice.
"How are we going to do it?" he asked, not sure how they wanted to go about it. It wasn't like they were going to put out a formal statement, even if that is what PR would want them to do.
"I have an idea," Sasuke said as he grabbed Naruto's arm and put it next to his, before taking a picture. He didn't tweet often, but he knew everyone was probably stalking his page waiting for him to make some sort of statement. He posted the photo of their arms next to each other, showing both of their soulmate marks with the caption "I have a lot of tattoos, spot the one that isn't."
"That's how you're announcing it?" Naruto asked in disbelief. He expected some sort of formal statement, not a picture saying that they're soulmates without directly saying they're soulmates. Sasuke always had a way of surprising him.
"Retweet it and say what you want," Sasuke told him, knowing that Naruto would want to say something.
The blond nodded, retweeting it with the caption, "I guess you're right, I gave up looking for my soulmate but only because I already found him."
"Of course you'd find some cheesy way to say it," Sasuke took Naruto's phone from him, shutting it off before placing it on the nightstand. He turned off his own as well, placing it next to Naruto's. "We'll figure this out in the morning, right now all I want to do is go to sleep," Sasuke turned off he light before pulling Naruto close so he could rest his head on the blonde's chest. Naruto didn't say anything, he just held him tighter, silently agreeing with him as they fell asleep.
