Chapter 17: POV

It was moments like this where everything was at peace that Sasuke loved the most. The domestic moments when Naruto was home and it was just them. It didn't matter if they were sitting on the couch watching a movie or something as simple as eating dinner. When Naruto was sober and everything felt right with the world. "Hurry up or I'm going to start the movie without you," Sasuke playfully threatened.

"I'm coming," Naruto smiled. The two were in matching blue plaid pajamas that Sasuke had bought earlier that week. Neither had bothered to even brush their hair, planning to stay in all day. The blond smiled as he handed Sasuke the popcorn before sitting next to him, pulling him close so that the dark haired man was resting his head on his shoulder. "You seem happy," Naruto commented, making Sasuke cuddle closer to him with a content sigh.

It had felt like it had been so long since Sasuke had been able to cuddle on the couch with the man he loved. "I'm happy to have you home," Sasuke told him. It was understood that Sasuke was even happier that Naruto was sober, but that was left unsaid, not wanting another fight. "I love you."

"I love you, too," Naruto kissed the top of his head before turning on the movie. No matter how many times he messed up, he did love Sasuke. He made dumb choices and repeatedly promised to do better. If it weren't for the dreams stopping, he would think that Naruto was lying when he said he loved him. But they didn't dream at night, so Sasuke made himself stay through the bad, just so they could have moments such as this.

"I know," Sasuke smiled as he buried his head in Naruto's chest, listening to his steady heartbeat. "Sometimes I just wish it could always be like this," he admitted quietly. He wasn't sure if Naruto didn't hear him or if he merely ignored the statement, but the blond remained silent. Nothing else was said as they cuddled on the couch, focusing on the movie.

Sasuke woke up with a small smile on his face as his alarm blared through the room. The dream had been bittersweet, but that didn't matter. All he could think about was that Naruto was going to be back for a week starting that day. He looked at the clock though he knew he still had an hour before he had to go pick up the blond. Naruto had told him that he didn't have to pick him up, knowing that it was going to be chaos at the airport, but Sasuke was determined to pick him up.

Ever since his new album had dropped, Naruto had increased in popularity. His concerts were already sold out, yet interest in him still seemed to continue to grow. People had also taken more of an interest in their relationship. He knew paparazzi would be there, hoping to get a picture of them together. Sasuke couldn't find it in himself to care about who was watching them. He'd flipped off the paparazzi more than a few times just so they couldn't sell the photo as easily. Some people found it funny, others called him an asshole. It angered his father, which he found to be a bonus.

As the days went by the more disillusioned he had become with his father and the less he cared about what the older man thought of his actions. Still, the patriarch of the family didn't actually do anything beyond scolding him. Firing his son would be more of an embarrassment to him than anything Sasuke did because it would have be a sign of failure in his eyes. Him having a smaller role in the company was one thing, but completely leaving it would be a scandal. If he'd known that Sasuke was thinking about leaving the company, he'd probably lose his mind trying to figure out how to prevent it from happening.

The dark haired man rolled out of bed, running his fingers through his hair. He briefly wondered if he should get it cut, but he knew how much Naruto liked it when it was longer. He'd be lying if he said he didn't put a little more effort into his appearance that morning. It had gotten a little cold out, but he still wore a short sleeve v-shirt to show off his tattoos and mark. Mainly his mark.

Suigetsu smirked at him when he walked out of his room. The light haired man looked at his outfit with a chuckle. "Someone's looking to grab Naruto's attention," he teamed. "You trying to have him fuck you in the car? Those pants scream look at my ass."

Sasuke rolled his eyes, he'd never admit that he might have picked the black skinny jeans solely to show off his ass. "Fuck off," Sasuke huffed in response as he poured himself a cup of coffee.

"No need to get defensive," he loved to tease Sasuke, especially about Naruto. "It's adorable how whipped you are for the man."

"Laugh about my relationship all you want, at least I know what mine is," no one quite knew what to call what was going on between Kiba and Suigetsu. They acted like boyfriends sometimes, but other times they acted like two friends like liked to hook-up. It was very confusing to Sasuke how Suigetsu was okay with something so casual. Then again, given his and Naruto's bond, he was never able to do casual, nor did he ever feel emotionally connected to anyone else in a romantic sense.

"Why you gotta come after my whatever it is like that?" Suigetsu didn't get upset with what Sasuke had said. "Not everyone has as strong of a bond as you and Naruto," he reminded him. He wasn't jealous of Naruto and Sasuke's bond, it just made it a little harder for them to understand each other when it came to relationships. Suigetsu was perfectly fine without a label, while Sasuke needed a label to feel secure in the relationship. His dreams certainly didn't help with feeling secure. Sometimes he found himself just waiting for the pain in his arm or for Naruto to change his mind, despite knowing that the blond wasn't like that and had made it very clear he was all in.

"Sorry," Sasuke mumbled. He wanted his friend to be happy and couldn't really understand how their relationship could provide that.

"Don't be," Suigetsu shook his head. "What me and Kiba have is fun, plus I don't think he's sleeping with anyone else without me," he shrugged. There had been some sort of silent mutual agreement between them that if they were going to sleep with other people, then it'd be together in a threesome.

"Whatever works for you," Sasuke shrugged as he sat at the table to finish his coffee.

"Remember your windows aren't that tinted, try to wait until you get to his place," Suigetsu snickered. "Don't worry, I'll be at Kiba's by the time you guys get back here," he promised with a knowing smirk.

"I hate you," Sasuke huffed as he walked towards the door. "On a serious note, can I ask you something without you telling Kiba?" he asked.

"Of course, what's going on?" Suigetsu was concerned. He knew that Sasuke didn't care what Kiba thought of him so that could only mean that he didn't want him to tell Kiba because Kiba would tell Naruto. He sat across from Sasuke, waiting for him to explain.

"I'm thinking of leaving the company," he blurted out. He hadn't actually said it out loud yet and the more he thought about it, the better it sounded.

Suigetsu's jaw dropped. That was the last thing he was expecting, "Really?" The entire time they'd known each other Sasuke had never expressed that he didn't want to work for the family company. He'd been disillusioned at times due to his father and brother, but never outright said he was thinking of working elsewhere. It was expected that if you were born an Uchiha, you'd work for the family business in some form. Some took on a higher role than others, but no matter how distant the relative was to the core family, if their last name was Uchiha and they were related in some way, then they usually worked at the company. Distant relatives weren't nearly as important, but Sasuke was part of the core family, having descended from the portion of the family that had historically ran the business. His father was the current owner and his younger brothers ran the international offices under his direction. Itachi was clearly going to be next in line for having his father's role and would eventually have to marry for the sole purpose of having a male heir within the core family. It would likely be a woman of high status, set up by their parents. Despite Sasuke's less important role in the company, he was still expected to be part of the company in some capacity. No matter who Sasuke married, it would be expected that if they decided to have a biological child it would be with his genes and take his last name. "I take it you don't want Naruto to know?"

Sasuke shook his head, "Not until I decide." He sighed, not knowing what to do. He was sick of his father's attitude towards him, especially when it came to the topic of Naruto. It was getting exhausting to be something that he's not. Sure he had rebelled a little, but he was still an Uchiha and had a reputation to uphold.

"What will you do?" he asked.

Sasuke shrugged, "That's the problem, I have no idea. My dad might try to cut me off if I leave. I mean, legally I got my trust fund at eighteen so I'm not sure exactly what he could do. I can't talk to the family lawyer about it because it'll definitely get back to him if I do that."

Suigetsu nodded as he thought for a moment. "You do have one trump card that I can think of," he told him, confusing Sasuke. "Naruto," he started to explain. "Your father is a smart business man. Naruto is doing well, he's brining the company a lot of money and your father is an asshole but he won't want to lose that. Naruto only sighed for a year, he very well could leave and not re-sign with he company."

Sasuke's eyes widened. He didn't like the idea of using Naruto's career in his fight with his father, but no matter what he said the blond wouldn't stay with the company if his father decided to disown Sasuke for leaving. There were plenty of other companies after him, he didn't need to stay with Uchiha Entertainment. "I hadn't thought of that," he bit his lip, thinking it over but knowing that wasn't a decision he could make without talking to Naruto first. Before the conversation could continue he realized how late it was getting, "I gotta go pick up Naruto."

"Just think about it and tell Naruto I said hi," Suigetsu laughed as Sasuke left. He knew the two had some sort of date planned that night, but he had a feeling that most of Naruto's visit home would be spent in the house. More specifically, Sasuke's room if they listened to his request not to defile the common areas of the house.

Sasuke arrived earlier than necessary, anxious to see the blond. He'd check multiple times to confirm that Naruto's flight was on time. When he arrived there were already people waiting outside. Usually airport security would yell at people to move when they were parked out front waiting for someone for too long, but being an Uchiha came with special privileges. It also meant that people that might normally try to interact with a celebrity, kept their distance. He'd a had a few run ins with crazy people, but the threats of a lawsuit were enough to keep most people from invading his space. That didn't stop them from taking pictures or staring at him, they just didn't try to mob him like they might Naruto.

He knew it'd piss off his father when he tweeted out a word of warning to those that decided they wanted to greet the blond. Naruto said it had been a slightly possessive tweet, which was hotter than it should be. Before Naruto had headed to the airport to leave Paris, Sasuke had posted, 'Don't forget he's mine, so no touching.' He didn't even need to mention who he was talking about, everyone knew and it went viral fairly fast.

Against his security's wishes, he got out of the car to greet his boyfriend when Naruto text him that he was walking out of the airport. "Miss me?" the blond grinned as he walked up to Sasuke, letting go of his luggage in favor of pulling the dark haired man to him. "Cause I know I missed you," he told him.

Sasuke kissed him far more passionately than he probably should be in public. "What do you think?" he asked when they pulled away. He ignored the screams of Naruto's fans and the clicks of the cameras. Their very public display of affection was bound to be all over the celebrity gossip sites and social media within the hour.

"I think someone is trying to claim me," Naruto joked as he let Sasuke go so he could put his things in the trunk.

"Hn, maybe I'll mark you up later to really drive home the point," he was only half joking. Call it juvenile or possessive, but Sasuke did like the way Naruto looked with dark hickies decorating his neck.

"I already have your mark," Naruto proudly reminded him of his soulmate mark as he shut the trunk.

"You could use a few more," Sasuke told him, opening the passenger side door for the blond. "Get in," he directed.

Naruto grinned, "Someone's feeling dominate today." He leaned against the other side of the door, not getting into the car.

"When we get back to my place later I'll show you how dominate I'm feeling today," he told him seductively before placing a chaste kiss on his lips. "Now get in," he ordered again as he walked around to the other side of the car.

"Keep talking like that and I'll have to kick Sakura out of the apartment cause we won't be making it back to your place," he responded as he got into the car. The idea of Sasuke taking control in the bedroom was more exciting than he expected.

"Don't you have the whole day planned already?" he asked, remembering the way the blond had excitedly told him about all of the plans he had for that week.

"Plans can change," Naruto smiled. "Plus, I didn't know what would happen today so the plan for today was simply to get some stuff from my place then spend the rest of the day at yours. Preferably cuddled up somewhere with limited clothing, some take out and a movie."

"You forgot one thing," Sasuke told him as he started to drive towards Naruto's apartment.

"Please don't tell me Suigetsu is home," Naruto groaned.

Sasuke chuckled, "He promised to be gone by the time we got there." He couldn't help but grin at the way Naruto's face lit up. "I was just planning on no clothes and my bed," he explained.

"I thought that was already implied earlier," Naruto told him. "I was just giving you the rest of today's itinerary." He smiled fondly at Sasuke. He'd really missed the other man and their bond seemed to buzz with happiness at being back together. He realized in that moment that he had indeed fallen in love with the other man. He wouldn't say anything, instead he'd wait for that day he'd wake up after a dreamless night.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Sasuke asked, glancing over at the blond as they sat at a red light.

"Like what?" Naruto asked, though he knew exactly how he was looking at him. He had a look of a man hopelessly in love, but Sasuke didn't seem to know what that looked like.

"Like you think I'm perfect or something," that was the only way Sasuke could think of to describe how Naruto was staring at him.

The blond ran his fingers through Sasuke's hair, "I know you're not perfect, but you're perfect for me." He pulled his hand away when the light turned green so Sasuke could concentrate on driving.

Sasuke just chuckled, "You know, sometimes I wish I could see myself how you see me."

"As a guy that likes to pretend he's an asshole but is secretly a huge softy?" Naruto joked. He finally took a moment to really take in Sasuke's appearance. "You're trying to torture me," he commented as he placed a hand on Sasuke's thigh. It didn't take them long to go to Naruto's place so he could grab a few things and say hi to Sakura and Hinata, who had apparently been staying over at the apartment more nights than not.

Naruto didn't hesitate to push Sasuke up against the front door the minute they entered the dark haired man's house. Before the blond could kiss him, Sasuke flipped their positions, pinning Naruto to the door, "Did you forget who's in charge tonight?"

Naruto bit his lip, incredibly turned on by Sasuke's dominance. "Why don't you show me?" his voice was raspy and just above a whisper. He moaned into the rough kiss, letting Sasuke take control. "Fuck," he groaned as Sasuke sucked and nipped at his neck, leaving red spots that would certainly be dark marks soon enough. The dark haired man only pulled away to take off the blonde's shirt, tossing it to the side. Once his shirt was off, Sasuke took one of his nipples into his mouth while his fingers played with the other before switching sides to give the other the same treatment. Naruto was sure if it were't for the fact he was leaning against the door his legs would have probably given out.

Sasuke pulled away and took in Naruto's appearance for a moment. The blonde's hair was a mess, lips kiss swollen, and pupils dilated. He was already fully hard, straining against the jeans he was wearing. "Let's take this to the bedroom," Sasuke pulled him away from the door by the belt loops of his jeans before taking his hand and leading him to the bedroom. "Be a good boy and sit," he ordered, to which Naruto eagerly compiled.

The blond watched as Sasuke took off his own shirt before climbing into Naruto's lap. He moaned at the way Sasuke rubbed their clothed erections together as he moved his hips. The blond let himself be pushed back onto the bed, watching as Sasuke started unbuckling his pants. He raised his hips a little to make them easier to get off. He felt his heart race as Sasuke's eyes roamed his naked body as if he were going to devour him. "Can I fuck you this time?" Sasuke asked, surprising Naruto.

Sasuke topping wasn't something that'd ever happened in their dreams, so he hadn't even thought that the other man may want to in this life. "You want to top?" he asked, to which Sasuke just nodded. "Okay," the blond agreed with a smile, both nervous and excited at the prospect. They didn't really know what either of them would prefer in the bedroom, it made sense to switch it up. Sasuke moved to grab the lube, making Naruto smirk at little at the fact that Sasuke clearly planned for something to happen tonight given he had the lube readily available.

Naruto went to turn over to make it easier for Sasuke to prep him, but the dark haired man stopped him. "I want to suck you off while I prep you," he told him as he took the blonde's cock in his hand and started pumping, his touch tortuously light and loose. It was just enough to drive the blond crazy.

Sasuke practically collapsed on top of the blond as he came down from his orgasm. He din't care about the fact that he was a mess with Naruto's cum that had painted the blonde's stomach. "Fuck," Sasuke caught his breath, neither of them wanted to move. "That was," he couldn't really find the words.

"Yeah," Naruto agreed. He hadn't expected to like it so much, but he certainly wouldn't mind doing it again.

"I think I prefer bottoming though," the man admitted, making Naruto smile.

"I prefer topping," Naruto told him. "But I really wouldn't mind if you did sometimes."

Sasuke looked at the blond, happy they were on the same page, "Me too." He knew they should clean up and weren't in the most comfortable position, "We should clean up."

"You gotta pull out first," Naruto chuckled, though he wasn't sure he was quite ready to feel so physically empty so they laid there a little while longer.

After finally taking a shower and eating take out, they cuddled up in Sasuke's bed while watching a move. Sasuke laid his head on Naruto's chest while the blond wrapped his arms around him. As Naruto held the other man, it only confirmed for him that the only way to describe the feeling was love.
