Sasuke went straight for the shower, shedding his clothing as soon as he closed the door behind him and locking the door. He caught a flash of himself in the mirror and was surprised that his nose wasn't bleeding. He could have sworn with how much he blushed, it would have been a given. Maybe it wasn't true that someone could get a bloody nose from excitement? Or maybe it had more to with the fact that his blood was rushing elsewhere at the moment...

He stood under the warm streaming water, leaning against the wall with both arms and letting his head hang. He had his eyes closed and was trying really hard to calm down, but neither the water nor the seclusion was helping him with his issue.

He had never felt more embarrassed than the moment Naruto called him out on his book. It was like having a weakness exposed and he didn't like the idea of anyone knowing his weaknesses. On top of that, he had never felt his blood flow... t-that way as fast as it did when Naruto was on his knees in front of him and looking up at him with those perfectly begging eyes glistening with mirth and mischief. Images crossed his mind of Naruto doing the stuff that damned book described to him, adding to his recent most favorite memory and forming a vision real enough to almost imagine the physical feeling of being engulved by Naruto's soft lips and hot wetness of his mouth...

Sasuke shook his head trying to shake the image. He came here to get the image out of his head, not reenact it and imagining it more real. But he couldn't help it. He was hard enough now for it to ache and he regretted walking out on Naruto, but he couldn't admit to it and go back to Naruto. His embarrassment kept him from doing so. Just the thought of Naruto either smug about this or pitying him was more than he could handle.

He took a few slow breaths to try and calm down. He was actually trembling a bit and he felt strained and labored. The image of Naruto in front of him as he sat with a hand burried in Naruto's hair bubbled up in his mind, causing another throb in his lower region and a blush on his face.

Damnit. He hit the wall with his fist in frustration, but no matter how much he tried to force his mind elsewhere, his mind kept going back. He placed a hand on his underbelly, the spot Naruto had kissed and licked at and felt a nervous excitement settle in his stomach. What would it really feel like? Would he be able to handle it?

Then a thought crossed his mind that was almost enough to get him to calm down. Even if they did want to continue, was it even possible? He had no experience, not even with women and he was pretty sure that Naruto didn't either. And even if either of them had experience, how would the same thing work with two men?

Argh, but the image of Naruto kneeled down... and his soft kisses and needy touches... Even his questions and doubts couldn't chase that image from his mind. Naruto was so free with what he did and not for the first time Sasuke wished to be a little more like that. He probably would have stayed, maybe even gone along with it, to who knows what kind of conclusion. The thought was enough to draw out a fierce blush once more and a frustrated growl. He was supposed to have more control than this! He never had issues like this before!

An almost painful throb pulled him out of his thoughts, back to the problem at hand and he made it a problem in hand. He hated this. He avoided it and only did this to himself when he felt like it was absolutely necessary and there was no denying that right now, this was a situation where it was absolutely necessary. The act was primal and usually driven without reason other then releasing tension, things he didn't want to associate with himself, but now, with thoughts of Naruto swirling in his mind, the experience didn't feel that bad. It was more intense and it felt so different just by imagining the touch was Naruto's.

He bit his thumb on his other hand to suppress making any embarrassing sounds, but the occasional grunt still escaped him. This was horrible and it felt so good. He let himself end up on his knees and grunted unrestrained. His breathing was fast with the occasional quiver every time his fingers massaged his most sensitive spot. He almost didn't want to continue. He felt a little scared cumming with Naruto so firmly on his mind, ashamed to be using him just for this selfish reason. It wasn't right, but that didn't stop him from feeling so good.

It didn't take a lot more to get him over the edge. He closed his eyes again, letting the image of Naruto on his knees dominate his mind for the next moments as he quickened his strokes just a little more. The tension in his stomach quickly build up to a point where he couldn't quite keep his hips still and with a few more jerks, he came with a cry he muffled with his hand. The pouring water immediately washed everything away, leaving only his panting breath and his blush as evidence of what he just did.

It took a few more moments to collect himself and for his regrets to settle in. He had been louder than he had wanted to be and he only hoped Naruto hadn't heard him. There was no way he could look Naruto in the eyes again for the rest of the day after this as it was, let alone if Naruto would have heard him.

To think someone could rile him up this fast and this badly didn't sit well with him either, even if it was Naruto. Did he cross a line he shouldn't have by doing this or should he have crossed it in a different way? Like, together with Naruto..? He felt so stupid right now. And awkward.

There was a soft tap at the door, startling him out of his thought. "Yeah?" He asked, cursing to himself about how shot his voice sounded. He cleared his throat and stood up.

"Sasuke, are you alright? You've been in there for quite some time..." Naruto said through the door, sounding a little worried.

For a moment Sasuke didn't know what to say. Had he really been in here that long? "Yeah, uhm, yeah, I'm fine, I was just..." He let his voice trail off. He didn't really have anything to add to that. What was he doing to say? 'I was just horny'? 'I was just using your image to jerk off to'? Hell no.

"Oh, okay... You went in there so fast. I don't think you even grabbed a towel." Naruto said, and Sasuke heard him turn the door knob. "So I brought you one." Sasuke watched Naruto step into the shower from behind the frosted glass, Naruto's silhouette outlined by the light from his bedroom. Wait, hadn't he locked the door? Maybe he forgot?

Naruto froze for a second, but then stepped closer. "I'll leave it here." He said, placing the towel on the closed lid of the toilet.

"T-thanks..." Sasuke said. He couldn't help the blush he was getting. Even through the frosted glass he could clearly see Naruto's shape and movements and even though the glass, Naruto's figure was really hot in the skin tight shirt he was wearing.

Naruto stepped up to the glass and placed a hand on it. He cocked his head. "Sasuke..?" He whispered. Sasuke picked up the slightest but of confusion in Naruto's voice.

Sasuke swallowed to make sure his voice was functioning. "Yeah..?"

Naruto cocked his head to the other side and seemed to think about something, but without being able to make out Naruto's facial expression, Sasuke was left guessing. "...Nevermind. Just hurry already. I'm bored." Naruto said after a few seconds, and then turned around and left the bathroom.

Naruto closed the door behind him and leaned against it with his back, letting himself slide down until he was seated. He had a blush that could have competed with Sasuke's the moment Sasuke fled the room. In Naruto's innocence he thought it was a good idea to bring Sasuke a towel, but the moment he entered the bathroom he was a blushing mess. He could smell it, Sasuke's excitement from just moments earlier, courtesy of his enhanced senses by Kurama. Sasuke's smell was so strong and the confined, damp room didn't do anything to lessen it. It was thick in the air...

For a moment he had stared at Sasuke, who turned around to be facing Naruto. It was only than that Naruto had fully realised that Sasuke was completely naked not five feet away from him, and only separated by a thin layer of glass. The glass, even frosted, did little to hide the shape on the other side. Did Sasuke even realise he was that visible behind the glass? Naruto had placed his hands on the glass, half having in mind to ask Sasuke to let him join, but given the earlier events, he thought better of is and just walked out as quickly as possible.

He smiled. It was something else knowing Sasuke was so flustered over him... It was cute, but at the same time he hadn't expected that from Sasuke. Not really. Naruto figured that Sasuke would be more in control of himself with stuff like this, but it was good to know Naruto wasn't the only one with moments like that...

He didn't move from the door until he heard Sasuke finally turn off the water and he heard the sliding door open. Naruto left the bedroom, not wanting Sasuke to be any more embarrassed. He went to the kitchen, sat down and waited. It didn't take long for him to get bored again. He slumped over the table and sighed. He really needed to find something he could do around the house that didn't involve Sasuke... He got bored way too easily.

He glanced at Sasuke as he walked in the room and saw Sasuke look back at him. For an awkward moment they just looked at each other, both a slight blush on their cheeks. Sasuke was the first to move, deciding to man up a bit and own his feelings better. He cleared his throat and walked over to Naruto. He snaked an arm around Naruto's shoulder and pulled him into a hug, kissing his temple. "You alright?" He asked.

Naruto turned in his arms with a big smile and put his arms around Sasuke's neck. "Course I am, you're here!" He said enthusiastically.

"You say that like I've been gone for days." Sasuke looked down at Naruto's face and smiled when he saw the blue eye bright.

Naruto shrugged. "Days or hours or minutes, it's all the same to me once I'm bored."

"What are you, a dog?" Sasuke teased, cupping Naruto's cheek and giving him a quick kiss. He moved away to rummage through the kitchen in search of snacks.

Naruto rolled his eyes at him. "Time gets weird when I'm bored..." He said, slumping over the table with his hands in front of him. The times he spent being bored in the department, in the dark, alone, had taught him to be patient while he was bored, but also to appreciate company on a whole other level than normal people would. And it was true. Being bored made time weird. Bored was bored, and Naruto had learned to take that as one happening, much like sleeping. Whether someone slept for a few hours or a whole night, both could feel equally long, a short nap could feel longer than a whole night of sleep or you could wake up after a full night of sleep and it could feel like you just bsrely closed your eyes. For Naruto being bored was pretty much the same. So bored was bored, no matter how long it took. Breaking the boredom was always the best feeling, and Naruto was very happy for Sasuke to be the one to break it now. "Alright, I am drawing a complete blank. Do you have any idea what we can do until this house arrest thing is over?" Naruto said exasperated.

"Really? It's been half a day and you're already out of ideas?" Sasuke said, leaning his elbows on the table opposite Naruto.

"Yes!" Naruto exclaimed, sitting up straight and looking seriously at Sasuke. "So, what have you got?"

"I don't know, training in the backyard? A spar, maybe? I could go into town and buy stuff for you if you have something you want. Oh, I could also teach you how to be a better cook! You know, teach you how to add flavour so when you cook dinner, we can actually enjoy it!"

"Really..? Really, Sasuke? A pun at my amazing cooking skill? That's what you're going for after practically challenging me to a spar?" He smirked and stood up. "Oh, you're on, buddy! And if I win, I'm never cooking again. Yeah." He said, nodding and pointing at Sasuke. "It'll all be on you for as long as we live."

"Fine, but if I win, you'll not only learn how to cook and we'll cook in turn, but you'll have you wash the dishes alone!" Sasuke said, also standing up and leaning on the table with one hand, pointing at Naruto. They were glaring at each other for a moment when suddenly Naruto grinned and winked. "You just lost, sweetie." He said in a dangerously calm voice. "You'll find out why soon enough." And with that, Naruto walked out of the kitchen and to the backyard.

Sasuke didn't know what Naruto just did, but he had the sinking feeling Naruto was right about him having already lost and he regretted not having added any rules to their little bet beforehand. He gathered some courage and followed Naruto outside. Time to get his ass handed to him his own backyard...
