Chapter 15: Falling

Sasuke stood in front of the large tour bus, watching Naruto and his band load their things. It was a gloomy day, which matched the way he felt knowing that the man would be going on tour. They hadn't been together that long, but it still saddened him to see the other man go. He tried to be excited for him since it was their first real tour, but it was hard. "I'll miss you," he told the blond, trying not to come off as clingy, but wanting the man to know his feelings. He played with the strings on his hoodie to try to distract himself.

"Don't look so sad, I'll be back before you know it," Naruto told him cheerfully. "You know, we should probably have some goodbye sex before I go," he said suggestively. "Give us each something to think about while I'm away," he winked.

Sasuke had a sense of insecurity about what would happen if he said no. Would Naruto forget about him while he was gone? So he just nodded in agreement. "Wouldn't want you to forget about me," he tried to sound like he was joking, but he really was worried about it happening. He knew they were soulmates, but he was still worried that Naruto would find someone better while away. He looked down at his mark and thought he had to just trust the bond.

"That's my baby," Naruto grinned before continuing to pack things away in the bus.

Naruto's bandmate smirked as he walked over to Sasuke, "You know he'll forget about you while he's away, right? You may be his soulmate, but he's not going to change for you. You're convenient now, but you won't be while we're on tour." Sasuke didn't say anything in return, feeling anxious as he watched the other man walk away. He had felt how much Naruto used to sleep around before him, but he wanted to believe that the blond would change his ways for him.

Sasuke woke up, his mind racing what felt like a million miles an hour. He knew that his Naruto was completely different from the one in his dreams. Naruto had sex once before they met, just like him, and he'd shown no signs of being interested in anyone else. It scared him because he knew that he was falling for the blond. He had thought about talking to the blond about being more intimate before he left, but that dream made him second guess that decision.

He raised his arm to look at his mark. It stood out to him amongst the multitude of tattoos. He had seen the multiple posts from Naruto's fan that circled his mark or had an arrow to it posted on social media after his tweet went viral, taking over many of the top trending spots. The month had passed so fast since Naruto released his album and it was already the day before Naruto was set to leave on tour.

He sighed as he got up. It was a Sunday, meaning he had a free day and he planned to spend it with Naruto. The plan was to stay in and just hang out, maybe watch some movies while they cuddled on Naruto's couch. He planned to stay over at Naruto's place and drive him to the airport the next morning. The question was what they would do that night. A big part of him wanted to take it further and almost had on multiple occasions recently. They had done other things, just not sex. At that point he wasn't really sure what was holding them back anymore.

He had gotten ready for the day, dressing comfortably since he knew they would just stay in. He threw some things in a bag to take with him, wondering how mad it'd make his father if he opted not to bring a suit and wore some jeans and a t-shirt to work instead. It'd certainly be easier than having to take a suit bag with him. He sighed as he thought about his options before pulling out a suit, knowing it wasn't worth the argument. Plus, Naruto seemed to like how he looked in a suit.

Once he was ready, he sat on the couch and watched TV while he waited for Naruto to text him. The blond always slept in, but he hoped that he wouldn't sleep in too late that day since he wouldn't see him a while after that.

Sasuke's thoughts were interrupted by Suigetsu teasing him, "You're up early. That eager to see your boyfriend?" The man was still in his pajamas, hair a mess, despite having to leave soon for a photo shoot. He was photographing a wedding for one of his mother's close friends. He wasn't particularly close with his mother, but he couldn't exactly say no when she asked him to do it and he'd be getting paid.

"Good morning to you, too," Sasuke scoffed. "So, on a scale of one to ten, how bad of an idea would it be to have sex with Naruto tonight?" he asked, surprising Suigetsu. He didn't turn around to look at Sugietsu, not sure how the reaction would be.

"Honestly? It's more surprising that you haven't had sex yet," he told him as he poured himself a glass of orange juice. "But I jumped into bed with Kiba the first night we met so I'm probably not the best person to ask," he told him. "You've done other stuff, why are you so nervous about taking it further?" he asked as he made his way towards the couch.

Sasuke shrugged, "I don't even know. We've come close but he always seems hesitant and I don't want to push him, but I though I'd be the hesitant one, not him."

Suigetsu laughed, "It's not like either of you are experienced. He's probably nervous he'll disappoint."

Sasuke hadn't thought about that possibility. Naruto always seemed so confident and so he didn't think that'd be an issue. "You think so?" he asked.

"Well, let's go through the reasons you wouldn't have sex is someone. One, you aren't the person's soulmate. It obviously can't be that. Two, you don't find the person attractive. It's definitely not that, he looks like he wants to devour you. Three, you don't have the desire to have sex. I don't think this is the case since you guys have no problem doing other stuff. Four, you aren't ready. I guess this could be a possibility, but he looks ready to jump you pretty much all of the time. Five," Suigetsu started to list the reasons, but Sasuke cut him off before he could go any further.

"I get it, please stop," he sighed. "I guess I should probably just talked to him about it," Sasuke knew communication was key to any relationship to make sure you were on the same page as the other person. He just hated awkward conversations. He felt like asking Naruto why they haven't had sex yet would make him come off as needy.

Suigetsu hummed before saying, "You ever think maybe he doesn't want to pressure you?" Sasuke gave him a confused look, causing the other man to shake his head. "Ned always wanted sex from Sam from what you've told me and Naruto does't want to be like Ned," he explained.

"You're still dead set on calling our past lives Ned and Sam, huh?" Sasuke chuckled. He paused as he thought about it for a moment. "So, you're saying he probably is waiting for me to make the first move?" The more he thought about it, the more it made sense. Naruto was set on making sure Sasuke knew that he was different from the man in his dreams.

Suigetsu finished his drink and got up, "I've got to get ready for this dumb wedding." While the money was good, he still hated photographing weddings. Trying to capture he happy moments when he really wanted to photograph the people sitting in the corner rolling their eyes, saying the marriage wouldn't last. When you're rich there's always those people at the wedding that are nice to your face but talk bad about you behind your back. With he size of the wedding he was going to, and based on the venue, he knew one of them had money or came from money. Since his mother always wanted to try to fit in with the rich crowd, his money was on them coming from money.

Sasuke smiled when his phone dinged, a message from Naruto lighting up his screen. He looked up to see Suigetsu smirking at him. "Don't even say it," he warned as he got up, grabbing his things. "See you tomorrow," he called out as he walked out the door. He knew he probably came off as more than a little whipped since he had literally just been sitting around waiting for the blond to text him, but he didn't care.

It didn't take long for Sasuke to get to Naruto's place. He was about to ring the bell when the door opened, revealing a grinning Sakura. "Don't worry lover boy, I'm going over to Hinata's place for my own fun," she winked. "Don't wear him out too much, he still has to be able to perform in a couple of days," she teased, leaving Sasuke blushing a little at the implications. He didn't bother correcting her that he planned on having Naruto fuck him, not the other way around.

"Hey babe, don't mind her," Naruto said as he moved for him to come inside. The blond gave him a quick kiss before shutting the door behind him. "Have you ate already?" he asked, taking Sasuke's bag from his hand.

"Yes, I've eaten," Sasuke confirmed as he tried to grab his bag back from the other man, but Naruto moved it out of his reach. "I can put my own bag in your room," Sasuke sighed, knowing that Naruto wouldn't listen to him.

"You just go and sit your sexy ass on that couch," the blond directed. "Find something to watch and I'll go put this down," he didn't leave any room for argument, kissing Sasuke one more time before walking off to his room with the other man's bag.

Sasuke just rolled his eyes as he made his way towards the couch, making himself comfortable. He smiled when he saw Naruto had Disney+ up, remembering their conversation shortly after they dated where Naruto told him it was a crime for him to not have seen any movies from the marvel universe. He pulled up his phone to look at the order the movies were released in so they could go in order. Some people thought they should go in chronological order when watching the movies, but Naruto was dead set on his opinion that the movies were released in a certain order for a reason. They had argued about it for a little, Sasuke thinking it made sense for them to be watched in chronological order as to what time period the movies were set in, only to end up listening to Naruto's long explanation of how the movies were released in phases and it was important to watch each phase as intended. Ultimately, Sasuke didn't care enough to fight it so he selected the original Iron Man.

"Good choice," Naruto grinned as he sat next to Sasuke, pulling the man closer so he was in his lap.

"Pretty sure you were only pretending that I had a choice," Sasuke shook his head. He tried to adjust himself so they were in a more comfortable position. "Wouldn't it be more comfortable if we watched this in your bedroom so I'm not sitting in your lap?" he asked.

"I might not be able to concentrate on the movies if I have you in my bed," Naruto bluntly admitted.

"Maybe that's what I want," Sasuke responded suggestively.

"You're going to be the death of me," Naruto sighed. He smirked as he put his arms under Sasuke to carry him bridal style.

Sasuke wrapped his arms around the blonde's neck as the other man stood up. "Put me down," he demanded. "I can walk on my own."

"Nope," Naruto refused as he walked them towards his room. He gently laid Sasuke on the bed, staring at him for a movement, "It's really unfair how you can look so good even when you're not even trying." He set up the TV in his room so they could watch their movie marathon in bed. "Think you can behave yourself for a while?" he asked as he crawled into bed next to the other man.

Sasuke smirked, "I suppose that depends on how well this movie keeps my attention."

"Seriously, the death of me," Naruto responded as he grabbed the controller before pulling Sasuke so that he was pressed up against his side.

"So you've said," Sasuke chuckled as he laid his head on Naruto's chest. "Why are you so hesitant to have sex?" he asked, knowing they needed to talk about it before anything might happen that day.

Naruto sighed, "I just." He tried to look for the right words to explain how he felt. "I don't want to do it now just because I'm leaving. I," he paused when he realized he was going to say he loved Sasuke. He knew Sasuke wasn't there yet and didn't want to make him uncomfortable by admitting it. "I don't want us to feel pressured like we have to have sex before I go on tour. It just reminds me of them."

Sasuke propped himself up on one arm and looked at Nartuo. "Look at me," he said, using his free hand to turn Naruto's face towards him. "I understand if you're not comfortable with it, but if you're holding back because you think I'm not, then you don't need to worry. I want this if you do," he was nervous that Naruto might reject the idea, but would understand why Naruto wanted to wait.

"How are you so perfect?" Naruto once again had to stop himself from telling him how he felt. He pulled him into a kiss. The kiss was slow and soft, nothing sexual. He wasn't trying to start anything, rather was trying to convey all of his feelings though a kiss.

Those thoughts went out the window the minute Sasuke broke the kiss to straddle him, "Does that mean you want this as much as I do?" The blond nodded his head, but Sasuke needed to hear him actually say it, "Use your words, baby."

"Yes, you have no idea how much I want this," Naruto confessed, pulling Sasuke back into a kiss. This one was much more passionate. The blond gripped Sasuke's hips, moving them against his own, seeking friction. Sasuke moaned a little at the movement, tangling his fingers in Naruto's hair as they continued to kiss.

Sasuke pulled away so he could look at the blond. They hadn't even really gotten started and they both already looked wrecked. "Please tell me you have lube," Sasuke panted, running his hands down Naruto's chest as the blond continued to grind up against him. Their bond seemed to buzz with happiness, it was unlike anything either of them had ever felt.

Naruto was thankful that he did buy some, just in case they ever got that far, "Top drawer." He whined a little with Sasuke got off him to get the lube.

"You look so good right now," Sasuke told him, his pupils blown, lips red and swollen from kissing, and an obvious erection in his sweat pants. "But you'd look better without any clothes," he added as he took off his town shirt, not caring where it landed as he threw it on the floor.

Naruto just watched him in awe as the other man undressed. He'd seen it before, but there was something special about this time. His eyes scanned Sasuke's body and he felt himself getting harder. When he saw the look on Sasuke's face he realized he was supposed to be undressing as well.

"Do I need to undress you?" Sasuke asked as he crawled next to him on the bed, reaching for the blonde's sweat pants. He slowly pulled them down along with his boxers, tossing them aside before moving so he was between his legs.

Naruto quickly rid himself of his shirt before flipping their positions so Sasuke was on his back. "You're so fucking sexy," Naruto told him as he started kissing Sasuke's neck, marking him before kissing his way down to Sasuke's nipple, taking the right one in his mouth. He loved the way Sasuke moaned as he used his tongue to tease the man.

Sasuke gripped Naruto's hair. It wasn't too tight to the point that it hurt, but enough to let him know Sasuke was enjoying the blonde's actions, as if the way his cock was leaking pre-cum wasn't enough. "Fuck," Sasuke curse, lost in the pleasure as Naruto continued to move down his body. He whined a little when Naruto avoided his cock, instead kissing his thighs. "Please," he begged as Naruto sucked a hickey on his right thigh.

"Please what, baby?" Naruto smirked before moving on to the other thigh.

"You know what," Sasuke panted, bucking his hips a little as if to indicate where he wanted Naruto's mouth.

"Use your words, baby," he teased, brushing his lips against the other man's member.

"Suck my cock," Sasuke begged.

Naruto hummed, "No." Sauke whined in protest, but was surprised when Naruto flipped him so his chest was pressed against the mattress. "I have a better idea," he told him, running his hand along Sasuke's ass. He opened the bottle of lube that had been set aside and coated his fingers before pulling the other man's cheeks apart. He stared at his hole for a moment as if to admire it before running a lubed finger over it.

"Fuck yes," Sasuke didn't care how desperate he sounded. He moaned a little when Naruto pushed a finger in, slowly moving it in and out.

They laid next to each other on the bed, trying to catch their breath. "That was better than I could have ever imagined," Naruto looked over at Sasuke. The man couldn't seem to find the words so he just nodded in agreement. "We should probably take a shower and change the sheets," Naruto suggested, though he didn't really want to get up. "You stay here, I'm going to go get us some water first," he told Sasuke before getting up. He came back in the room a moment later to see Sasuke sitting up. He handed him the water and asked, "You okay?"

"Yeah," Sasuke took the glass. "I was just a little, overwhelmed I guess," he told him before taking a large gulp, not having realized how thirsty he was. "We shouldn't have waited so long to do that."

Naruto smiled as he waited for Sasuke to put the glass down before pulling him up so he was standing to guide him to the bathroom. "Did I go too hard?" he asked when he noticed that Sasuke was limping a little.

Sasuke blushed, "No, I, uh, liked it rough." Naruto smiled, but didn't say anything else. They showered together before Naruto changed the sheets, not allowing Sasuke to help. "I'm a little sore but I can still help," he told the blond, but found it sweet how concerned the other man was.

"Doesn't matter, I'm already done," Naruto grinned, ready to pick up the other man and carry him to the bed. He pouted a little when Sasuke didn't let him.

"Get in bed, we have some stupid movies to watch," Sasuke told him. Naruto couldn't say no when the man looked incredibly sexy, wearing only his t-shirt despite the fact that he had brought his own clothes. There was something different about the way their bond felt that Naruto could only describe as singing. He wondered if this was how all soulmates felt after sex, or if it was the strength of their bond. Considering Kiba never said anything after his first time with Suigetsu, he had a feeling it had something to do with their bond.

The rest of the day was spent watching movies while cuddling, only taking breaks to eat. They had fallen asleep sometime during Captain America, having stayed up far later than they should have considering what time they had to get up in the morning to get Naruto to the airport.

The next morning was a little more somber, both of them knowing that Naruto would be gone for the next four months on his world tour. They promised to try to talk every day, but between their schedules and the the time difference for some of the countries where he would be performing, they both knew that it may not be possible.

"Have I told you how good you look in a suit?" Naruto asked as he wrapped his arms around Sasuke from behind. Sasuke hadn't put on the suit jacket, nor did he really plan to unless he had to later that day. His sleeves were rolled up and Naruto started tracing the lines of his tattoos, paying extra attention to his mark.

"Only every time you see me in one," Sasuke chuckled as he leaned into Naruto's hold. He felt an odd sense of security that he couldn't quite explain. "I'm not even wearing the full suit yet," he pointed out.

"I know, which makes you look even sexier," Naruto responded as he rubbed his thumb over Sasuke's soulmate mark.

"I'm going to miss you," Sasuke said softly.

"I'll miss you too," Naruto kissed the back of his neck. "But we'll both be busy, I'll go by faster than you think," he tried to remain positive, but knew it was going to hurt to be away from him. It wouldn't hurt physically, but there would be an emotional pain. "We'll be okay."

"I know," Sasuke sighed. He looked at the time, hating that they needed to leave. "We should probably head out if we're going to get you to the airport on time," he frowned. Sasuke never thought he'd be so soft for someone, but Naruto brought out a different side of him.

"If we must," Naruto huffed as he reluctantly let the other man go.

Sasuke knew that there would be people waiting to get just a glimpse of Naruto at the airport, especially since they were public. It was assumed that Sasuke would be there to drop him off and somehow after a month of being out as a couple they were still a hot topic. "I hate paparazzi," Sasuke mumbled as they pulled up to the drop off area. Body guards were already there waiting to escort him in.

"Me too," Naruto sighed. "Should we at least give them a show?" he asked mischievously.

Sasuke shook his head, but agreed, "Sure, why not?" They both got out of the car, already hearing the flashing of cameras. He walked around the car to give Naruto a kiss goodbye and was a little surprised when Naruto pulled him into a kiss much more passionate than what was intended to be in public, going as far to squeeze his ass. When Naruto said he wanted to put on a show, he wasn't kidding. It was the type of kiss that was going to be all over social media and tabloids.

Naruto grinned sheepishly at the look Sasuke gave him when they pulled away, "I said I wanted to put on a show."

Sasuke fondly shook his head, he was too far gone for the man to be mad, "I know." His father was going to be furious when he saw those pictures, but he couldn't find it in him to care. He couldn't say that he loved Naruto yet, but he knew he was falling fast. The next few months would be torture. "I'll see you in a few months."

"Can't wait," Naruto smiled, giving him one more kiss before grabbing his luggage and walking into the airport.

Sasuke watched the other man walk away, knowing that people were probably getting plenty of pictures of him staring fondly at the blond. Once Naruto was out of sight he got into his car, resisting flipping off the people taking his photo. He sighed as he drove away, hoping that the next four months would pass quickly.
