Hello, my darlings, I am back! Sadly, I am still fighting off this damn cold. But despite the lack of reviews, my story stats tell me you little gremlins are reading, so I diligently wrote this chapter.
Also, I've been told that sometimes I keep things going even though they have come to an end, I admit, I have a hard time writing a short story, or writing endings for that matter. I mean, this was meant to be a short affair…now here I am 40 pages in *sighs* All of this is to say, I could have ended this story on this chapter, but my mind and the plot bunnies insisted there was more to write. Probably two more chapters three max (I hope lol) Your choice whether you want to keep reading or not!
Rating: M (Smut bunnies have made an appearance!)

Chapter 4: Becoming More
Naruto felt his heart beat faster, he was melting into Sasuke, his insides purring at Sasuke's words. He also didn't want anybody else's eyes on Sasuke, he wanted to claim anything Sasuke had to offer as his own. The pain inside of him was lessening with every kiss and nip Sasuke landed on him.
"I want you" Naruto whispered into Sasuke's lips. Sasuke dragged Naruto once again, guiding him over to his car. He quickly pulled his phone out typing out a quick text to Sakura, asking if she could grab a ride with someone else. She simply replied Go get him
Sasuke's apartment was closer, Sasuke could have taken Naruto on that alley, but he wanted the blonde writhing under him on his bed, grasping at his bedsheets. The way there was really a blur, all they wanted was to be touching each other again. As they stumbled through the door Sasuke was already pulling Naruto's shirt off. Naruto doing the same to Sasuke. They walked into the room as they took their pants off along with their underwear. Sasuke pushed Naruto on the bed as he climbed on top of him straddling the blonde as his hands held Naruto's wrists above his head. Naruto bucked up at Sasuke, looking for contact any kind of contact.
"Sasuke?" Naruto asked as he looked at Sasuke's eyes scanning him.
"Did you and Gaara…?" He whispered, his hold on Naruto's wrists becoming stronger but not painful.
Naruto blushed "Nothing happened" Sasuke leaned down placing a soft kiss on Naruto's lips, then tracing a path of barely-there kisses down Naruto's chin.
"I want to touch you" Naruto whispered trying to free his hands. Sasuke did let go of Naruto's hands, only to reach into one of his bedside drawers to pull a bottle of lube out.
He didn't give Naruto a chance to move as he flipped him over, lifting his ass and spreading his cheeks "Sasuke!" Naruto moaned as Sasuke's lubed finger made its way inside his entrance. Sasuke was enthralled by the sight.
"Shit Naruto you're so tight" Sasuke muttered as he slipped a second finger inside. Naruto's hand slipped between himself and the bed as he started pleasuring himself.
Sasuke's free hand came down on Naruto's ass, slapping it as he continued to thrust his fingers into the blonde's entrance, the loud smack had Naruto throwing his head back "Fuck"
He was pushing back, meeting Sasuke's fingers, mumbling incoherently "What was that?" Sasuke asked as a third finger made its way inside.
"God Sasuke, I need more" Naruto moaned, Sasuke withdrew his fingers and Naruto turned back around, his eyes clouded by lust.
"Look at me Naruto" Naruto looked up at Sasuke's obsidian eyes. "Look at me" Sasuke repeated once again as he pumped his member slicking it with lube while staring into Naruto's eyes.
"Please" Naruto whispered as his legs opened, signaling to Sasuke that he wanted him inside.
"What do you want Naruto?"
"I want your dick"
"Whose dick do you want?"
"Yours" Naruto repeated again "That's right, mine, not Kakashi's or Gaara's or anybody else's" Sasuke leaned down positioning himself at Naruto's entrance.
"Sasuke, wait, the condom" Naruto whispered as Sasuke leaned in pushing inside Naruto's heat slowly, almost coming undone at feeling warmth completely surround him, clenching around him.
"Sasuke!" Naruto had wanted to feel Sasuke raw so many times, he was completely consumed as Sasuke entered him.
"I'm not doing anybody else but you" Sasuke muttered as he pulled out agonizingly slowly and pushed back inside. Naruto was melting, dissolving into him.
"As for the others you've been with, I'm going to fuck their names off your mouth" Sasuke gritted out as he started a relentless pace hitting Naruto's sweet spot dead on.
"Fuck, Sasuke" Naruto felt the air knocked out of him as he lifted himself so he could get a view of Sasuke's dick moving slipping in and out of his hole. He couldn't keep holding himself up as he fell back into the bed, his lower body meeting Sasuke's thrusts. "Mine is the only name I want moaned out of your pretty lips Naruto"
Sasuke leaned down, connecting his lips with Naruto's coaxing them open. Naruto's arms surrounded him, scratching at his back. Sasuke's deep thrusts being met by Naruto's lower body.
"Shit Naruto" Sasuke muttered as he lost control feeling his orgasm wash over him, Naruto's own orgasm took him, and he was squeezing every last drop out of Sasuke.
Sasuke slowly pulled out, falling next to Naruto on the bed exhausted pulling Naruto's own tired body over to him.
Naruto snuggled into Sasuke's body, he just wanted to enjoy the moment as he basked in the afterglow. Soon enough Sasuke's hand running up and down his arm lulled him to sleep.
Naruto's eyes opened and he felt disoriented for a second, he didn't recognize the room he was in. He sat up slowly his eyes falling on Sasuke. Memories of the night before leaving him beet red. Sasuke's eyes opened, falling on Naruto's.
He touched his lips to Naruto's tenderly "Morning" he said groggily, as his head hit the pillow again. And damn Naruto was always gone by the time Sasuke woke up, his voice was damn sexy in the morning.
"Morning" Naruto mumbled back.
Sasuke's eyes were closed, did he fall back asleep? "You're staring"
"Am not" Naruto flushed as he averted his eyes.
"Didn't say it so you would stop"
"Oh gosh, you're so full of yourself, nobody was looking at you"
Naruto giggled as Sasuke's arms circled around his waist and he pulled the blonde on top of him.
"I meant everything I said last night," Sasuke said as he looked the blushing blonde.
Naruto looked down at Sasuke's handsome face, heart threatening to beat out of his chest.
"Sasuke I—I like you"
Sasuke sat up, holding on to Naruto "Hey, those should be good news, why are you crying?"
Naruto's face all but burrowed on his neck as he held on to Sasuke for dear life, hands shaking "I'm scared…"
Sasuke hugged Naruto, and then slowly peeled him away from him "Naruto, look at me" Naruto's eyes lifted to Sasuke's.
"I know you are still hurting, I am aware of the baggage, and I am still asking, can we give this a try?" It took a couple of moments for Naruto to nod and Sasuke smiled at him.
"Just to confirm" Sasuke muttered "This means we are exclusive"
"Yes" Naruto answered
"No one else gets to touch you, just me" Naruto nodded.
"Same goes for you" Naruto muttered "No banging nurses on the on-call rooms while you're at work" Sasuke chuckled
"I'd much rather take you on the on-call room" He purred, "But I'll settle for taking you in the shower right now"
Naruto was looking at his phone impatiently and had to remind himself that Sasuke was busy—working, he was working. Trust.
He reminded himself as he did to his clients, that trust was essential. And that other than the whole clubbing fiasco, which was before they entered a committed relationship. Sasuke hadn't given him a reason to distrust him.
Naruto was happy, he really was, it had been a month since they'd started dating. Things were good, they were craving each other as much as they did before if not more. But Naruto felt like damaged goods sometimes and was afraid of letting Sasuke know how damaged he was. It was easy to carry his confidence when they were friends with benefits. But somehow setting that relationship bar somehow drove him into a downward spiral sometimes.
Mostly from when his and Gaara's relationship had taken a turn for the worse, looking at pictures of Gaara with the people he met, knowing that he was most definitely fucking them. Having to come second to him every single time. Naruto wasn't just a little broken, he was a lot broken, but he didn't want to be. He wanted to be whole for Sasuke, and he wanted to give him the trust he deserved.
Their relationship deserved the best shot Naruto could give it, so he tried his hardest to keep it together, and not to push his insecurities on Sasuke.
So, he begrudgingly got off the bed and set about cleaning his apartment so he could keep his head off of Sasuke not yet replying to his texts this morning. As he finished doing dishes he heard the bell to the apartment ring, and he rushed over to open the door coming face to face with Gaara.
"Ummm hi" Naruto said awkwardly.
"Why are you avoiding me?" Gaara asked straight to the point, as Naruto flushed beet red.
"Am not"
"You most definitely are…Can I come in?" Gaara asked as Naruto nodded and made way for Gaara to walk into the apartment.
"What's bothering you?" Gaara asked as he walked in
"What do you mean?"
"You always clean when you are upset" Naruto damned Gaara for knowing him so well.
He motioned for them to sit at the Island as he took two water bottles from the fridge and handed one to Gaara "I am evading you" Naruto said as he sat, fiddling with the water bottle.
"I know we are not sleeping with each other anymore, but you're still my friend you know, I miss you" Naruto felt a nudge of satisfaction at the fact that Gaara was the one seeking him out for once.
"After that whole scene at the club…I'm just worried for you" Naruto laughed dryly at that, yeah Gaara had never been here to see the aftermath of the things Naruto used to do every time he left. But this time Gaara hadn't been the reason Naruto had lost it…Sasuke had been.
"I went home with Sasuke that night, everything was fine, I've already gotten an earful from him" well more than an earful and lots of possessive sex.
"So, he is more than a friend"
"I think you already know the answer to that Gaara, Sasuke and I are dating" Gaara's eyes wavered a bit.
"And that's why you're evading me? Your new boyfriend doesn't want your me around?" Naruto rolled his eyes at Gaara.
"Sasuke might not like me hanging around you or Kakashi but he doesn't prohibit me from doing anything" Naruto muttered "And I think any boyfriend would be upset at having the ex around, don't say it like he's wrong to be upset"
"Naruto, there's a lot of history between us, I know things are complicated I'm not here to be a threat to him, I'm here to talk to my best friend since college" Naruto bit his lower lip.
"I want to be able to do that too, I know we broke up over two years ago, but really I hadn't moved on Gaara, you would come back then leave constantly, so there is no way for you to know how I was piecing myself back together each time we toyed the line between friends and more"
Gaara felt guilt he hadn't felt before, he cared for Naruto, he was his best friend. The person he wanted to give good news to first. The first phone call he made when his pictures made National Geographic. For the first time in a long time, Gaara didn't know what to say, what to think.
"Gaara, you mean so much to me, I'm still here, and I do hope we can fall into our old friend, but we really need to re-learn what being friends means, not to mention there is still a lot of wounds I'm trying to heal" Had to heal if he wanted his relationship with Sasuke to work.
"I get that I do…I'm flying out this Sunday, I just wanted to talk to you, make sure things were good between us, I didn't want to leave without talking first"
And there he was, leaving again, but this time it didn't hurt as much, Naruto had Sasuke, he had a relationship of his own to work on.
"We're ok Gaara, you don't have to worry on my behalf"
At that moment that click on the door turned and in came Sasuke carrying two cups of coffee. His eyes instantly landed on Gaara. He would have gotten irritated by the red head's presence except Gaara looked miserable. Good. Sasuke just knew Gaara would soon realize how stupid he'd been for letting Naruto go. Hopefully, Naruto would be too in love with him to choose Gaara when the time came.
Naruto jumped off the stool to help Sasuke with the food he was also carrying, he could already smell the bacon from his sandwich. Naruto took the brown bag as Sasuke leaned down to place a kiss on his lips "Good Morning"
"You hadn't answered my message" Naruto pouted. Sasuke raised an eyebrow "This right here" He motioned to the coffee, and then himself "Is called a surprise" Naruto laughed.
"Wouldn't be a surprise if I told you I was coming"
Sasuke's eyes drifted towards Gaara again "Gaara" He nodded his head in acknowledgment and Gaara nodded back at him "Sasuke"
Gaara took that as his cue to leave and stood as Naruto placed the bag of food on the counter.
"If you need anything, I'm always here," He said to Naruto and he looked up at Sasuke "Take good care of him," he said almost inaudibly, so only Sasuke would hear. Sasuke grit his teeth, like Gaara had any right to tell him to take care of Naruto when he'd been the one who hurt him most.
"Have a safe trip, please take care" Naruto said to Gaara as he left the apartment.
Naruto turned to see Sasuke staring at him "What?" He flushed, as Sasuke walked over to him pushing him against the Island.
"I sleep at my apartment for one night and I come back to find a fly infestation" Naruto giggled.
"It would only be one fly" Then he swatted Sasuke in the arm "And don't call him that it's rude!"
"I don't like him, and I don't like the way he looks at you, he's going to realize he fucked up letting you go and will come back begging" He kissed a path down Naruto's neck and then back up to Naruto's lips. Naruto's hands cupped Sasuke's cheeks softly as he looked him in the eyes "You have nothing to worry about" Naruto whispered.
"Don't I?" muttered Sasuke as he lifted Naruto's body on the counter, Naruto's legs opening to make space for Sasuke as his hands slithered under Naruto's t-shirt, Naruto's insides warming and any doubts from earlier in the day dissipating into thin air.
"You don't" And he really didn't, his relationship with Sasuke was fresh air, sunshine at the beach.
Sasuke was attempting to lift the shirt off him as Naruto swatted his hands away.
"For once would you let me enjoy my coffee hot?"
See, I can also be nice! No cliffhanger this time around! Poor Naruto just wants to enjoy his coffee~ The coffee is always the collateral damage of the smex. But really it just warms my heart every time I get to officially bring these two together *hearts*
Feel free to share your thoughts or ideas, I am still writing and can add any requests you might have 😉
Also, I don't know if any of you have tried reading any of my other work, I know some of my older stories are way harder to read, but I don't have the heart to take them down if I decide to re-write them. I literally learned English by writing them. I did re-write Chaos at Konoha High and the older version didn't get taken down...I've been toying with the idea of re-writing more of them recently. I think I might start by re-writing Decision Making. If you've read it let me know if reading a new and improved version (hopefully it's improved) sounds appealing to you. Or if I should just let the old stories be and dive into new plot ideas.
Until next time my lovelies~
