Chapter 3: I'm Ready
Light trickled into the room again the next morning.
It quickly floated up the torn bed sheets, and weaved its way through the clothes scattered about the room. It reach the golden tanned back of the sweaty blonde. He looked up and trailed his arm up the pale boys chest.
Naruto's arm rested upon Sasuke's bare chest, his hand up by the boys neck, twirling his dark silky locks.
Sasuke stared forward. Sweat dripped from his forehead and flowed down the contours of his perfect face. Naruto reached his head up and caught the tear of sweat on his tongue.
"Do you know what we did Sasuke?" Naruto asked curiously.
"No." He said blatantly.
"Hmm…Me neither." Naruto looked down beside the bed and noticed a bottle of Sake, that he remembered had been opened just last night. "Empty"
Sasuke turned to his side to face the blonde dobe lying next to him. Naruto's leg was firmly pressed in-between Sasuke's thighs. Sasuke's naked thighs. Naruto wrapped his arms around Sasuke like he had the previous morning. I recognize you now.
Sasuke bent down slowly and stared into Naruto's pool's of ocean. Their lips only an inch apart. "Never speak of this night again" His words slipped into Naruto's ears. Cold. Icy. Emotionless words contrasted the deep embracing kiss that followed. Sasuke pressed his tongue into Naruto's mouth and the two shared a long, sorrowful kiss as they new what they had done was forbidden. One single tear poured out of Naruto's eye. Followed by a shy reply from his forbidden lover. One single tear poured out of Sasuke's black, soulless eye as they knew….They could never. Ever. Speak of this night again.
Ever.
Naruto pulled Sasuke closer and their naked bodies pressed against each other for one final moment. Their hearts beat together. One final embrace. And then, he left. Naruto got up, put on his new clothes and walked away. They didn't look at each other again. They knew they were going to have a long day ahead of them. School starts in two hours…
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto entered his humble abode slowly. He walked to the kitchen. His head was obviously throbbing and his stomach turning. Not at the fact that he had a MAJOR hangover. He was more focused on the jagged faded thoughts and memories of the previous night. He thought about his new friend. And he thought about how he might never say another word to him.
He opened the fridge and pulled out a bottle of OJ. He placed it on the table and walked over to the cupboard. His movements were slow, and choppy. He paused every few seconds as he ever so slightly recalled a few of the events he had just experienced. For the first time...
He poured himself a small glass of orange juice and sat at the table in the great kitchen. He sighed...Then glanced over at the clock...6:34. He had a half an hour to get ready and go to the bus stop. The bus stop...
The only bus stop in the area that takes you to school. Not a school bus. A city bus. A city bus...
I take the city bus to school every morning, it's not as dangerous as everyone thinks though. There's only one bus in the area that takes you to our school.
Sasuke's words echoed in Naruto's head.
He would have to face the beautiful raven haired boy again in less than an hour. What sort of punishment is that... How cruel. I wonder what we'll say to each other. I wish I hadn't left...
But I had to leave. This kind of thing was too sudden. A craze of emotions. We're so vulnerable. The two of us.
A one night stand. That's all it was.
One night...
One glorious, passionate, loving night.
One completely and totally forgotten night.
Naruto helplessly sighed once more as he finished his glass of juice.
He licked his lips gently. The lips that touched the other boys' so vigorously. He could still taste the Uchiha on his breath.
He had to go take a shower. Not because he wanted to. He didn't want to. Why would he want to erase the only form of love he'd ever experienced away. As vague as it was. It was some kind of twisted love.
He had to take a shower...He was...Sticky...Ew...
He walked up the stairs towards his bedroom. He entered the room swinging the door gently. Naruto looked down at the ruffled and oversized sweatshirt he was wearing. He took it off and held it to his face. He could smell the Uchiha's cologne mixed with his sensual body odours. How could Naruto have changed this much after one single night. One night with one boy and suddenly, sex with another male seemed like nothing. Hmph...Sleeping in the same bed as him. He wanted it.
Naruto folded the shirt neatly and placed it on the nightstand next to bed. He thus unbuckled his pants and stripped out of them. Followed by a quick removal of an oversized pair of boxers, Naruto threw a towel over his shoulder and walked into his bathroom. In less than a half an hour, Naruto would be facing his forbidden lover at the bus stop.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After Naruto left Sasuke crawled out of bed. What had he just done. He crawled out of bed. A bed he shared with another man. He shared a bed. With a naked man. A gorgeous naked man. But still, a naked man.
He wished he hadn't crawled out of the bed. He wanted to bathe in pools of Naruto's thoughts. The smell of Naruto and sex lingered in the air. The raven haired boy walked towards the bathroom. He peered inside and allowed a small grin to creep up his cheek. The bathroom was soaking wet. The entire bathroom looking like a fight had erupted. The shower curtain lay torn on the ground. The bathtub was full to the brim with water.
Come onnn Sasuke, It'll be fun. Naruto's annoying voice rang in his head as he stared into the destroyed bathroom. Don't chyou wanna clean up? His voice was slurred in his head. I know I do. Come with me Sasuke, I want to take a bath with you. Naruto's voice slapped Sasuke across the face with his raw, burning, passion. Here, let me take those off...
Sasuke's head was spinning. His memory ceased to move forward in his head. It wasn't fair. Sasuke wanted to see...more...
more...
more...
The word rung in his head over and over. More faint memories of the previous hours. Sasuke left the totaled bathroom in its state and headed to the upstairs bathroom. There was no way he would be able to clean that mess up anytime soon. Besides, did he really want to destroy the only form of love that he had ever experienced.
Sasuke needed not to strip out of his pajamas as he was not wearing any. Another small glimmer of happiness shone on his face briefly. He stepped into his hot shower. In less then a half an hour. He would see his beloved's stunning features again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm ready...
Naruto stated it as he stepped out of his shower. The familiar words echoed in his skull.
I'm ready Sasuke.
Naruto pulled on some clean clothes and glanced at the alarm clock on his dresser. 7:01. Twenty minutes until the bus comes.
Sasuke threw on some clothes he pulled out of the wash. He looked up at the wall clock in the laundry room. 7:0. He'd better leave soon.
He pulled on his shoes at the side door and exited the house.
The blonde walked around to the garage.
The pale boy pressed in his code.
The doors simultaneously rose.
They made sure not to meet eyes.
Naruto walked into his garage and pulled out his skateboard.
Sasuke hopped on his back and entered the code to close the garage again.
"Oi, Sasuke!" the blonde yelled across the lawn. Sasuke was completely taken aback by Naruto's sudden beckon. "OH-HI-YOO" The blonde called across the lawn. Was he serious. was he... acting? Was he acting. He was acting...
I'm ready for you Sasuke.
The blonde trotted down to the end of his driveway and waved back at his new neighbor. He was about to mount his board when suddenly -- WHAP! Sasuke's hand flew upside the blondes head while simultaneously speeding away on his bike. He looked back at the blonde and smirked at his triumphant - yet playful - attack.
The blonde stood still watching Sasuke speed ahead of him.
So that's how you want to play it hmm? Your on.
