Chapter 26: Smile

"Naruto? Are you there?" Sounds Kushina's voice while Sasuke is wise enough to keep as silent as he can. He's not even breathing as he stares in horror at the still sleeping blonde, unsure of what to do.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck! Is the mantra in his head. I screwed up! What now?! Hang up? Say something? No, definitely not that! Shit, gotta wake him up! Quickly Sasuke throws off his blankets as he lets himself drop to his knees next to his crush, shaking the blondes arm.

"Hnmnm.. Sasu-" Naruto moans as he starts to wake up, only to have his words cut off by the hand that is put over his mouth. Instantly awake Naruto opens his eyes and Sasuke can read the fear in them as Naruto looks in shock up to him. Quickly Sasuke moves his hand to his mouth, indicating his dobe to be silent while carefully putting the phone near Naruto's ear.

"Natuto answer me! Are you alright?! If this is a prank young man, I swear-" Naruto's eyes had widened at hearing his mother's voice and Sasuke smiles apologetically at him as he leans back again.

"H-hey mom! No it's not a prank eh… I- ah- just woke up so not yet fully awake I guess… Gheheh."

Hearing that Sasuke quickly grabs a notebook and a pencil, hastily writing on while the conversation between mother and son continues.

"You just woke up? Naruto why are you not in school?" Kushina lectures and Naruto shortly panics at that until Sasuke shows him what he has written down.

"Ah.. Eh a welcome party! Y-yesterday my colleagues at Sharingan threw me a welcome party and it got kinda late so… And it's not like I could have said no. That would be rude and my parents raised me better than that." Naruto smoothly mentions, successfully extinguishing his mother's anger.

"I see. Well, as long as you make up for the time you missed and do your homework it should be alright." Kushina answers. "Oh, but now that you are home, could you take a look at the calendar downstairs? There is this name written by todays date from someone from work whom I have to call. I had comepletly forgotten."

"D-downstairs?! Eh" Naruto stammers as he tries to untangle his legs from the blankets while Sasuke looks at him with raised brows. "I guess I could take a look after a shower and such."

"You mean after you've slept some more hours. Nice try Naruto, but you know your mother knows you better than that." Kushina says pointedly but the fondness for her son clear in her voice. "It's not that much trouble."

"Eh. Sure. Downstairs." Naruto says as he opens Sasuke's bedroom door to indeed go down the stairs, though they are not the ones of his own home, like his mother thinks. "Hmmm." Naruto says while leaning towards an empty wall near the kitchen. Sasuke had followed him and he can hardly hold back his chuckling as Naruto leans towards the wall to supposedly look at the calendar. "Who wrote that name? Must be dad, his handwriting is terrible, worse than ever! Sure, I guess he is getting older, but this is ridiculous! Was he in a hurry or something? It's hard to see where the first name ends and the last one starts. Is this even written in our language?!" Naruto complains as he makes a show of it, causing Sasuke to smirk and chuckle behind his hand, taking some more distance to make sure he isn't heard by the one at the other end of the line. "Sorry mom, I really can't read this. Give me an hour to decipher and decode it and I'll call you back."

"Wait, Naruto. Stop joking around no-"

"Call ya back in an hour mom!" And Naruto hangs up while grinning and his eyes sparkle mischievously as he looks at his friend.

"Ghn. You sure know how to put on an act." Sasuke says leaning against the wall.

"Ah, shut it. This is all your fault!" Naruto claims while an accusing finger points at the raven. "What made you pick up my phone anyway?!"

"Dobe, you are the one who put your phone next to mine." Sasuke points out, too proud as ever to admit he was wrong.

"Teme! You're saying it's my fault, again, that my parents nearly found out!" Sasuke can't help but flinch at that as he feels his heart beat painfully from guilt.

"Tsk… Fine." Is what the raven says. "I guess I wasn't completely awake yet…" He mumbles under his breath while looking away. He clears his throat and speaks normally at the next line though. "Anyway. Shouldn't you get going? You only got fifty minutes left."

"Ahah! Shit you're right!" Naruto dashes past the raven who smirks at that only to follow his dobe at a much slower phase, not being in a hurry so much. "Why did I have to say only an hour?!" He hears the blonde complain.

It doesn't take long for Naruto to be dressed in his suit again. Leaving the borrowed clothes behind. He stumbles towards the front door while wrestling with his tie again and Sasuke shakes his head as it is clear to see that the tie is winning this contest by a long shot. He sighs as he steps forward, halting Naruto in front of the front door as his dobe was about to open it with the one hand he still had free as the other is restricted by the clever knots of his tie.

"Come here and let me help you with that." Sasuke says as he manages to untie Naruto's hand in minutes. "Sure you don't want something to eat?" The raven asks while working on the last knot.

"Uhm, yeah. I'll eat something at home. I really don't want devil momma to come out, ya know."

"Fine, that's your choice. You have your phone with you right?" Having the tie untangled he manages to fix it in the proper state in no time, having seen how Itachi did it plenty of times.

"Of course! Don't worry we will see each other at work." Naruto says as he opens the door.

"As long as you stay away from dark alleys." Sasuke says, leaning against the threshold, quite close to the blonde.

"Yeah, yeah. I'll be careful. See ya later." And neither are surprised as Naruto leans in to quickly kiss Sasuke's lips. Only when they lean back do they realize what just happened and they stare at each other open eyed and open mouthed. It is Sasuke who comes to his senses first.

"What am I?! Your housewife or something?!" He says as his cheeks turn red, which causes Naruto to laugh.

"Ghehe. Sorry." He says sheepishly. "I guess It just kinda felt like we were acting according to such a drama script, you know?" Sasuke sighs at that.

"Well, you better rush home or this drama will turn into a horror when your 'devil momma' comes out." He ends the line with a smirk.

"Ah, damn! You're right!" At that Naruto jumps of the steps and he is about to dash into the direction of his home when he hears his crush call him. When he turns around he sees Sasuke standing at the top of the stairs.

"If… You…. Y-you know you can call me anytime, right?" The raven says, looking seriously at Naruto. "For anything." Sasuke can feel his heart skip a beat as he sees the warming smile on the face of the boy who is the sun in his life.

"Of course!" Naruto beams back, unable to deny to himself the spreading of that warm feeling. "I… I guess I will." They smile at each other with affection in their eyes and if they were standing closer, Sasuke believes he would not have been able to hold back the kisses he wants to give back to his dobe for the one they shared at the threshold. But the distance is there and he knows he should be crateful for it. Therefore he just smirks at his dobe who takes the que and with a last nod the blonde races off. Both of them can feel how their feelings for the other manifests into something real and strong, the only thing they can do is hope that one day the other will feel the same, but that does not keep the smile from their faces.

Later that night Naruto lies on his bed staring at the ceiling of his own room after dinner. The call with his mother had lasted some time and it appears that they will be coming home the next day. Naruto already has thought of the excuse story he will tell them when the time comes when he has to explain the wound on his cheekbone. He can't help himself as his thoughts drift off to a certain raven.
I can't believe I just kissed him like that! He thinks as his cheeks color red and a shy smile appears on his face. He had not anticipated or even thought about doing that in that moment. It had just felt like the most normal, no, the most right thing to do.
I wish I could do that every day…Naruto thinks as a longing sigh leaves him. I guess I should be glad that he reacted the way he did. He had feared Sasuke's reaction as soon as he had realized what he had done. He figured the raven would get angry at him or something, not daring to hope that his crush would have enjoyed it as much as he did, and by the ramenheaven did he know he liked it! He was so sure he had screwed up. But his crush had just made a joke out of it. Strangely enough that almost hurt more…
He probably thinks there is no such chance to get back together again anymore… Thinking it something innocent instead of the possibility that I could hardly think of anything else during the time I stayed over at his place… Naruto sighs as he wallows in the darkness of his own self-pity and he turns on his side, looking at his phone.
Though you might never know. I mean, I never thought he would hold me and tell me all would be fine, and yet it is exactly that what had happened. Naruto's smile returns as he feels the butterflies in his belly and the springing jumps of his joyful heart at the memory of those strong, warm and securing arms around him.
Would he mind it if I texted him? He did say I could call him anytime… The memory of those words and staring into those caring eyes makes his heart beat faster and as he picks up his phone and sits up, he can also feel the knots in his stomach at the nervous feeling he's got.

Heya, teme.
Just wanted to say thanks

Naruto stops for a moment, wondering whether he should start with that. He deletes it to try something else, but as he nearly finishes it he deletes that message too. After a couple more tries he groans in frustration as he lets himself drop back on the bed, staring in annoyance at his desk. What excuse could he have after all to contact his crush? The answers would be obvious or too short as he is bound to just make a fool of himself. Naruto sighs deeply as he broods on for a bit until his eyes land on his study books. That's it! Naruto thinks as he instantly perks up and he quickly sits up to pick out his phone again.

Heya teme
You're quite good with math right? Cuss it's so not my subject and I was thinking that you could help me with it. Obviously I'd help you to with any subjects you're having trouble with. Thought we could help each other out, cuss ya know, that's what best friends do! ;P We've promised not to spend a day longer on this school than necessary after all!

After pressing the send button Naruto drops himself on the bed again, a broad grin on his face while his heart beats fast. Sasuke could tutor me… He could come to my place, or I to his. It's the perfect excuse for mom and dad too! Naruto thinks and he can't help the giggle. He could lean close to me to show me how some calculations work… Like he did at Sharingan, but, but then perhaps closer… I could probably smell him… I wonder how he would react if we'd accidently look at each other, being so close that we could kiss… W-what if he wouldn't mind that? O-or if I could disguise it as some game or bluff or something… Before he knows it his mind has already wandered off.

Sasuke would back away a little. I could dare him… 'What, afraid of me teme?' I'd say. He would 'hn' his usual trademark before declaring that of course he's not afraid. He'd never admit that after all. I would dare him. Lean closer, and closer and closer. Till our noses could touch. Feeling each other's breath. Looking in those orbs as black and endless as the sky… I-If he still doesn't back down, I'd close my eyes and kiss him. I-If he doesn't mind that… Then he might kiss me back… God how I miss his kisses! Deepening it, he could always be so demanding, so passionate in his kisses as if he can't get enough of me… He would truly want me. That only made me want him more. He would push me down, grind against me while undoing my clothes, never stopping the hot and passionate kiss we shared… And damn, when he goes to my jaw and neck- Fuck I could never stop the moan when he did that! And I want that… Now more than ever… So he could erase the touch of the guy who violated me- Damn it, don't think about that! Sasuke… Just Sasuke… The way he held me… And oh hell, I never thought his voice could sound like that when he started to hum for me! I bet he's not a bad singer… I never thought he would… But he did… Damn how I want him to be mine again-! I want to grab him. Show him how much I want him for once! Oh, I would push him down and ride him like I have never done before… Give him pleasure as he has never had it before…! Let him moan and beg me for once! Ghehe, I wonder if he would mind that… 'You may dirty me any time.' He had said, and winked at me! Winked! Damn if he could be any hotter… As- as hot as when we were dancing together… His eyes on me, only me. His smile only for me… Ah! Damn how much I want him!

Naruto's fantasies are interrupted when he hears an annoying buzzing. Pulling his hand out of his pants, leaving his disappointed rock hard member, he reaches for his phone as he tries to get his fastened breath under control again. It's Sasuke! He's calling me! What do I do?! What do I do?!

To be continued…

This time it is Naruto's turn to have himself gotten into an embarassing situation again!
And yeah, this time the kiss was not a dream! Yes, be gratefull for this fancervice I give you, my dear fans! I know you crave for more than this, but that will come soon enough. How soon? I might as well let that depend on how much you all let me know how much you want them to get together again. *smirks evilly*

So. Shall I let the sexual tension between them built up some more or are you guys sick of waiting in anticipation for them to finally get together again? Do let me know.

Next part: 'Boiling over' or 'Disaster strikes'.
