Author Notes:
Sorry for the delay, I had some issues logging in. Thank you for following this story, I hope you're enjoying yourselves~
Naruto closed the door of his bedroom and bid Iruka goodnight. The brunet was happy to have Sasuke sleepover that he particularly wanted to give his own room to the Uchiha. Naruto sighed when he remembered the awkward dinner they had – filled with Iruka mentioning embarrassing moments of Naruto's life – and brought out a thick blanket for Sasuke. The black haired player took the offered comfort and made himself cozy on the bed. Naruto on the other hand, brought out his futon and laid it on the floor, he stroked the mattress to even it out then made himself home. He quickly switched off the lights and hopped onto his futon. The warmth engulfed him in minutes and the tiredness of the day seemed to catch up to him. However, before he drifted off to the land of dreams, Sasuke's voice floated to his ears.
"Naruto, do you have lectures tomorrow?"
The blond thought hard about it and nodded. "Yeah, first thing in the morning, you?"
"Me too."
"Let's go together, then."
Sasuke shuffled until his face was directed to Naruto. "I can't, I have to go back home and change first."
Naruto's face fell slowly but quickly he recovered. "Okay, that means we'll meet at practice."
"Hn."
The blond smiled at the raven haired male and whispered. "Good night, Sasuke, I'm glad you're here."
Sasuke simply looked at him, their eyes had gotten used to the darkness of the room now, and each could make out the silhouette of the other. The black haired player plopped himself on his elbow and asked.
"Can I ask you something?" He didn't wait for Naruto's approval and asked. "Why do you like me?"
Naruto felt his heart quicken at the question, but before he was given a chance to reply, Sasuke followed.
"We haven't known each other for a long time to say it was something brewing over time, nor did we like each other from the beginning. I get that you like my play, but that couldn't be a reason for liking my person. My play is different from my personality. I have a bad mouth, short temper, I'm also arrogant and couldn't bother with a lot of stuff. I like my privacy and if there's a way to function in this world without interacting with people, I'd be the first to do it –"
Sasuke stopped listing the bad qualities in him when he heard Naruto laugh. His brows knitted together and he asked, somewhat irritated.
"I don't think I said a joke for you to laugh."
Naruto raised a hand apologizing. "Sorry, sorry, Sasuke, don't get mad. It's just, you were cute saying all those things about yourself. Anyway, to answer your question, have you heard of the saying that 'you like because and you love despite'?"
The knot on Sasuke's brows only increased. "What do you mean?"
"Basically, you have a lot of girl liking you; that's because of the good things they see. Be it your looks, awesome play or your financial background. However, when someone loves you, they'll love you despite the bad qualities you just listed."
Sasuke thought of those words for a little then something hit him, he sat up straight. "Naruto… you have a very bad way in expressing yourself."
The blond saw Sasuke click the light open on the nightstand lampshade, he climbed down and was sitting on his futon, beside him. Naruto refused to acknowledge the close proximity until it was necessary.
"If I interpreted your words right, does it mean what I think it does?"
Naruto felt his face heat up and his heart shake. He had to sit up because at least, for this part, he didn't want to lie down. With strong-willed eyes, he ran away from Sasuke.
"Umm… can we discuss this another time? I don't think it's the place or time for this."
The raven haired male pondered that for a minute then got up on the bed. If the blond wanted to run away he'd give him that, because he himself wasn't really ready for that discussion. "Alright, Uzumaki, I'll allow you your comfort tonight. But keep in mind, you'll have to make it clear next time."
Naruto could feel his heart throb. He was being a coward. The other night he was declaring to Sasuke how he'd hunt him down, but apparently instead of a mighty fox, he was a cowardly chicken. Did he overestimate himself or his feelings? No, that wasn't it. It was because he was afraid. Sasuke looked experienced, while he was still a virgin. The blond wanted to dig a hole and die before that fact got out. Throughout his nineteen years of life, he's never had a girlfriend so sex was out of the question naturally. Looking up at his bed, he sighed inwardly, he really wanted to kiss Sasuke and attack him right then. Yet the virgin in him was quivering, he didn't want to be disliked.
Besides, he wasn't one hundred percent sure his kissing technique was acceptable, what if Sasuke thought he was lousy and decided never to kiss him again? Naruto didn't think his small heart would recover from the trauma.
Even though, Naruto still wanted to at least be close to Sasuke. Sleeping on different mattresses wasn't particularly close, yet he didn't want to impose on Sasuke. He should be satisfied the black haired Uchiha agreed to spend the night. The last thing he wanted was for Sasuke to feel pressured. A part of him countered that he'd already given Sasuke heads up, telling him to get ready for the pursuit, so even if he were to jump him, the Uchiha should be prepared. Naruto quickly stifled that part with a pillow and silenced it. He liked to think of his pursuit as sweet and tender, he'd make Sasuke fall for him without the other feeling cornered or forced into it. True so far, he did nothing to get that goal, but at least Sasuke was sleeping in his room, within the same vicinity.
Next goal, sleep together on the same bad!
Naruto waved goodbye to the man he was hunting and locked his front door. He released a huge sigh as he entered the living room area, Iruka watched his son's troubled face and had to ask.
"What's wrong, Naruto?"
The blond contemplated if he should consult with his father about this, but what would he say? He was head over heels in love with someone who rejected him from the get go? Sighing once more, he decided to keep his worries to himself. "Nothing, Iruka, I'm just thinking of the training schedule we are doing."
"Hmmm… it doesn't seem like that though."
"It is." He insisted. "Anyway, I'm going to get ready now."
"Wait, Naruto," Iruka called before the blond could disappear from his viewfinder. "Tonight don't wait up for dinner, I'm going out with a friend."
Naruto raised a brow, it'd been a while since Iruka last went out drinking. "With who? Is it someone I know? Or is it a date?"
The brunet rolled his eyes at his son and answered. "It's not a date, he's a guy. Actually, you sort of know him and umm…don't?"
The blond was intrigued now, he came and sat beside his father. "Okay, you got my attention. Who is he?"
Iruka frowned and poked Naruto on the forehead. "I won't tell you; you'll make a big deal of it if you knew. Besides, it would make you anxious."
"You keeping me in the dark is making me more anxious." Naruto protested. "Aaaaaaand if he's not a date, then why would I care who you befriend?"
Standing up, Iruka walked to his room with cool steps. "Naruto, go and get ready. I'm going to draw."
The brunet closed the door to his room and their little discussion with that. Naruto scowled at the empty living room, he was still hung up over Sasuke and the issues that they didn't solve and now, Iruka's life has a new addition. Sighing, he decided to put all those issues on the back of his mind and go to his school. If Iruka didn't want to let him know, he'd be an ideal son and respect his wishes.
'Respect his wishes my ass!'
Naruto fixed the dark sunglasses over his face and hid behind a tree, his vibrant hair was hidden by a cap. He wore an oversized hoodie that hid his profile diligently. Tailing Iruka was an art he'd perfected over the years. It'd started when he was twelve, that time Iruka had a business meeting with a woman who Naruto found suspicious. Of course at that time, he did it because he wanted to help protect Iruka if said woman wanted to do anything A.K.A molest him. Yet, right now, his sole purpose was to satisfy his own curiosity.
Iruka was very stubborn at times, and he might not even tell Naruto who he was meeting even if he were to wait. The blond also wasn't that patient as to wait around for him to speak. His feet moved swiftly when Iruka entered an ordinary looking izakaya.
"I still think this is stupid."
From his right side, Sasuke stood with his arms crossed, he was also forced into disguise. Wearing a high neck jacket, baggy jeans and a hat matched with the trademark huge sunglasses. Passersby were giving them the looks – they were wearing sunglasses at night for starters – and Sasuke felt his face flush from embarrassment. Naruto turned to him and shushed.
"Keep your voice down! Iruka has amazing hearing!"
Rolling his eyes at the scold, Sasuke spoke annoyed. "He's all the way across the street inside the izakaya, what hearing! Naruto, I'm going back to the field. I don't have time to play spy with you."
The blond stopped him and pleaded. "No, Sasuke, you can't! I have to know who is taking Iruka out!"
"Maybe you should honor his wishes, allow him some privacy." Sasuke spoke with reason.
Naruto shrugged that reason out the way. "No way, there's no such thing as privacy in family. I have to know every little and big things concerning Iruka."
Sasuke scowled at the obsessive nature but stayed. "You're a father-con, aren't you?"
"Call me what you want, but stay."
Sighing, Sasuke returned the shades to his eyes. "Naruto, you really have no friends."
Naruto wanted to refute that and highlight how the raven haired male was in a similar boat, yet since he was begging Sasuke to keep him company, he felt it wasn't right to insult back. Actually, the reason why Sasuke was tagging along was because Naruto was caught red-handed. When the time came for Iruka to go for dinner, Naruto called him and casually asked where he'd be at and when he'd be home. Iruka answered him – not knowing his son would end up stalking him. Sasuke was curious when Naruto asked Neji for an early leave, when he followed him to the locker room, he saw Naruto dress in disguise.
With no real pressure from Sasuke at all, Naruto blurted out his whole scheme and asked Sasuke to tag along. It was more dragging him than requesting aid, and since his practicing partner was leaving, Sasuke decided to go with him, there wasn't much he could do alone anyways.
"Sasuke, let's cross, I can't see anything from here."
Naruto didn't wait for affirmation as he crossed the street, Sasuke toed coolly. The blond tried to peak through the window without being seen, he was able to locate Iruka, yet the person sitting on the tatami mat in front of him blocked the face of Iruka's date. Frowning, Naruto had to switch angles. Just when Sasuke was getting fed up and suspicious looks were given from the izakaya's staff, did Naruto finally take a good look of the mysterious companion.
His eyes bulged out of their sockets and with all his might, he stopped himself from shouting the name. Sasuke saw the change in Naruto's face and followed his sight, he was a little bit startled when he saw their manager, Hatake Kakashi, sitting comfortably across from Iruka and causally having a great time.
The black haired player looked at the mess of blond now lying on the hard cement and sighed. He apologized to the staff for disturbing them and dragged Naruto away. They walked to a nearby bus stop, Sasuke put Naruto on the bench and sat beside him.
"Why? Why was Kakashi there?" Naruto asked, not finding the right words to use.
"Well, they probably became friends." Sasuke answered as a matter of a fact.
"HOW!?"
Rolling his eyes at the child who discovered his father had a new best friend, Sasuke reasoned. "It's normal, Naruto, I don't get why you're freaking out so much. They probably found out they have similar tastes and hanged out, Kakashi isn't a bad person, you shouldn't mind this too much."
"I know he's not bad… it's just… why did Iruka feel he needed to hide this from me?"
Sasuke wanted to demonstrate how Naruto was freaking out and that was the reason, but he used a gentler approach.
"Maybe he didn't want you to feel awkward. A relationship between your football manager and father isn't something easy. Some people might dislike the mingling of family and work. He just didn't want you to overthink stuff… which ended up happening anyway." The raven haired Uchiha finished with a smirk.
Naruto held his head in between his hands and removed the cap. A sigh escaped his lips as he got up. "Sasuke, let's go have some ramen. I'm hungry."
"…"
Again that night, Sasuke kept his opinion to himself and allowed the blond to drag him to yet, another place he didn't want to go to. All so Naruto's spirit would soar again.
Naruto yawned and rubbed his eyes, he looked at the quiet field and sighed. His teammates were still getting ready, he looked at his watch and it read 6:30 AM. Sighing at the very early day, he frowned when his captain made his appearance on the field. With cool steps, Neji came to sit beside him on the bench. Naruto hugged the ball in his arms tighter.
"Neji… for the love of God, why do we need to practice so early?"
"I was also against it." The brunet demonstrated, rolling his long hair into a bun. "But Kakashi was very adamant about it. To tell you the truth, I'm not a morning person."
Naruto watched as his captain yawned, causing him to release a yawn as if being infected. The two stayed on the bench and looked as the players continued flocking around, some groaned about the early practice while some simply rolled with it. Naruto blinked as suddenly Neji was missing from his side, however looking at the crowd, he saw him playing around with Gaara. Just when he thought to laze around some more, Kakashi's voice rung to bring them all together. Naruto quickly sprung to his feet, laziness out the window.
Kakashi instructed them to start practicing, the schedule they were given was switched a little. Naruto noticed the addition of some lower body muscle training. As he looked around to check his playmate, Sasuke was nowhere to be found. Naruto frowned but his attention was grabbed when Kiba shouted out to him.
"Naruto, come here!" The blond followed and the messy haired burnet barked. "You'll practice together with Shino and I today."
"Hmmm why?" Raising a brow, he asked.
"Because manager said so." Shino answered him, already warming up.
"Where's Sasuke?"
"Family issues." Kiba replied this time.
The blond quickly put two and two together. It had been a while since Sasuke was missing from practice that the issue of his mother's illness slipped his mind. Naruto had met the nice lady and couldn't sense any sickness from her body, that's why the issue was so far away from his brain. Nodding at the two, he grinned.
"Alright then, let's start!"
"Uzumaki, you should know, I won't go easy on you!" Kiba warned, eyes slanting excitedly.
Naruto rolled the sleeves of his shirt, exposing his toned deltoids and smirked. "I won't expect you to, Inuzuka!"
Shino rolled his eyes at the two idiots and passed them the ball, feeling like even if he missed this practice session, his existence won't be noticed.
After five hours of intensive training, Naruto was allowed home. He massaged his tired shoulders and was about to head home, however, a part of him was a little worried about Sasuke. Sure, the raven haired male wasn't hurt himself, but the stress of having a sick parent wasn't minor. He flipped his cell and dialed Sasuke's number, sadly, his call didn't connect. Naruto tried a couple of other times, with the same result. When it was apparent that he won't connect, he opted for a message. Neji mentioned that Sasuke was out of the country so Naruto wasn't sure if phone calls across countries worked with different SIM cards or not.
Thinking it wasn't time for this, Naruto headed home. Since according to Kakashi, they needed to return to the field at 4:00 PM for evening practice. The blond sighed as he headed to the bus station, already feeling the tiredness of the morning catch up to him.
Sasuke ignored the constant buzzing of his phone, it had been two days since he left with his mother and Naruto's persistence was amazing. The blond was always texting him on social media, probably because he wasn't able to connect with the Uchiha. Sasuke always made a mind note to change his number the minute he left the country. Currently he was in the hospital waiting area, his mother was doing her routine examination and he was waiting for her return. He finally gave up and replied to one of Naruto's annoying messages.
The blond would ask about how he was and when he'd be back, he never once asked where Sasuke was or what he was doing. The raven haired man had a hunch Naruto knew about his mother's illness – the culprit would be Neji – but he never followed up on that hunch. He could ask directly, but what if Naruto wasn't aware? Would he end up sharing an intimate detail with him? Sasuke sighed, he really didn't want to get closer to Naruto. Something in him was afraid of the blond… afraid of trusting him and relying on him.
Naruto was clear about wanting a relationship with him, but Sasuke didn't feel the same. Actually, in the beginning, he was fascinated with Naruto's spirit and game. He could feel the young man's love for football, something he felt tied them together. The first time he saw Naruto play, he didn't pay him much attention – in fact, he annoyed him, however, the second time was different. Sasuke could feel his spirit fly and heart thump with every movement Naruto made. Probably because Naruto was putting his all into winning, it showed a beautiful side of him.
Sasuke looked at his phone, another text came, it was a picture of Naruto holding a football and a crying emoji with the caption 'miss you, Sasuke!'. The black haired Uchiha felt his mouth twitch into a smile. It was a goofy picture, but he liked the silliness of Naruto.
Before his mind wandered, he stopped himself. 'Liked', he really needed to stop getting influenced by Naruto's charm. Neji was always annoying him that he needed friends, he thought he'd find that with Naruto, but the blond was too charming, that without knowing what's what, Sasuke was pulled into his orbit. The Uchiha was still holding onto his initial thoughts, he can't have a romantic relationship with Naruto… it just felt troubling.
Another picture of Naruto was sent. This time, he was striking a ridiculous pose, holding a red rose between his teeth. Sasuke tried to stifle the laugh but when he read the caption, his insides exploded. 'Fall into my heart, Sasuke.'
"Ara, it's been a while since I saw you laugh this hard."
In a matter of a second, Sasuke straightened up in front of his mother. He stood up and was beside her in a blink of an eye, hiding his phone.
"How was the examination?" He asked, escaping her comment.
"Everything's fine, my body is responding well to the medical treatment. The doctor said the next follow up would be three months from now. Isn't that good, Sasuke?" She clapped her hands together. "You don't need to bother coming with me every month~"
His face twisted at her words. "Mother, you know I don't –"
"I know, I know, I have heard it all before. But, Sasuke, it's not that you think it's a burden or not, it's that you're missing out on your life because of me. We have been coming regularly here for three years now. We stay for a week every month. Do you realize the amount of time you have been spending on this?"
"Was this why you snuck off without me last month?"
Sasuke's mother laughed jokingly. "You caught me. Yes, I didn't want you to miss any more games. Your manager is an understanding man, but, Sasuke, we have been taking advantage of this."
"Nonsense, mother, there's nothing more important than you." Sasuke defended his way of thinking.
The black haired woman shook her head. "That conjecture isn't right, there are a lot of things more important than my health. Your life for instance, I want you to go out there and live it. Stop always worrying about me, your father or Itachi. We are all doing fine. I worry about you, Sasuke, you're too kind."
When her soft hand was placed on his cheek, Sasuke gave her a small smile. "Don't worry, I'm living my life as best as I could. But, mother, what do you mean Itachi's well? Have you been in touch with him?"
The woman flinched a little and avoided his eyes. "Oh, look at the time, I think we should get going."
Before his mother could evade the ordeal, he stopped her firmly. "You said you don't want me to worry, then please, if you know anything about him, tell me… I always thought it was weird how he just up and left. Itachi wasn't close with father, but that wasn't the way with you. I know you were always giving him silent support, so with the embezzlement, if it wasn't for someone on the inside – someone close to father – who was able to distract him, Itachi wouldn't have been able to get away with it."
When her son's serious eyes faced her, Mikoto asked him to follow her. If they were about to discuss Itachi, she needed a private place. They went to the businessmen lounge in the VIP section of the waiting area, she asked for a private room, the workers obliged. Five minutes later, she sat down and gestured for her son to sit beside her. Mikoto's eyes looked at the faraway wall as she spoke softly.
"You're right, Sasuke, I was the one who helped your brother leave. Throughout his childhood, Itachi was the perfect son. He always did what your father and I wanted before we even said it. That's why I never saw how pained he was, I still regret it until now, I shouldn't have left him to your father, I should have been there for him. He was my son as well, however, your brother, he doesn't hold me accountable for anything he'd experienced. It's because of that, that I couldn't allow him to keep living captive to your father's dreams." Mikoto smiled and faced her son. "The truth is, Itachi wasn't the one who thought about leaving or the embezzlement, it was my idea. I wanted him to be set free and at the same time, I wanted to slap your father to wake up. Your father put his work before his family, he didn't see us clearly… he needed a wakeup call, that's why the best thing was to hit him where it hurts."
Sasuke listened with wide eyes as his mother joyfully told her story.
"The look on your father's face when he learnt about everything was priceless!" Mikoto released a melodious laugh. "He never thought that Itachi would betray him or leave without saying a word. You might not have known this, but your father trusted Itachi blindly. He'd close any deal based on Itachi's words solely. To me it wasn't a good thing, he was putting a lot of a burden on my baby boy's tiny shoulders. Once everything calmed down and Fuqua saw why Itachi did what he's done, he slowly but surely, reflected on everything he did. Your father is very stubborn and hardheaded so it took a while until he was able to be at peace with everything. I was glad actually, Itachi needed to live his life and not take so much responsibilities so young. Just like you do, honey."
The raven haired male asked when she stopped talking, having now grasped the whole truth.
"Then what about Itachi? Where is he now?"
Winking, she explained. "I can't disclose his exact location, because I promised him I wouldn't, but he's okay. He's started his own business, doing something that he loves."
A relieved smile showed on Sasuke's features. "That's a relief."
"Yes, it is, dear. He also sends his greetings. Every time we make contact, he asks about you. Itachi really cares about you, Sasuke, so don't burden yourself with anything unnecessary… for all of our sakes."
The young player nodded to his mother with a smile, it caused Mikoto to put her hand on his and squeeze.
"I love you so much, my son. You and Itachi are the most important people in my life. I would trade all the fortune in this world for your happiness. That's why, Sasuke, don't put your life on hold or step on your dreams because of your father and I. We have lived our lives and fulfilled everything we wanted to fulfill, don't feel burdened by your father's companies. Study what you want to do, live how you want to live, experience love, enjoy football and most of all, never regret not doing something your heart tells you to do."
The black eyed male listened to every word his mother said, he never knew she had all those things bottled up inside of her. When she finished, Mikoto embraced her younger son in a tight hug. Sasuke was very similar to her in character, he was a sensitive child, both kind and sweet. However, he could be very stubborn and hold onto things that he shouldn't. She had learned her lesson too late and didn't want the same for her son. Sasuke retuned his mother's hug and took a deep breath, basking in the delightful scent of hers.
They broke off the hug after a while and Mikoto Uchiha was the first one to speak. "Now, let's go back home. I already told your father we'd be home for dinner."
"…We can go tomorrow; you should rest tonight." Sasuke spoke, a little worried about his mother's health.
"Nonsense! I already informed him and besides, from the way you have been laughing, I bet there's someone you can't wait to see, too."
A tiny blush showed on his face at her teasing and Sasuke brushed it off. "No such thing, mother."
Mikoto simply laughed at her shy son and walked together with him out of the fancy lounge.
Naruto felt like he was back to his five-year-old self at Christmas, being given his first gift. Stars played inside his eyes as he walked to his front door. He put on his jacket and left the cozy apartment. This was his first time being invited out by Sasuke. Naruto looked at the text that told of where Sasuke wanted him to be, and grinned. The Uchiha has been away for three days, he hated how he was acting like a girl in love missing him so much, but Naruto just couldn't control his emotions. Maybe because it was his first time falling in love, his emotions were hard to tone down.
Naruto stopped a taxi – not wanting Sasuke to wait for him – and headed to the location. Half an hour later, he was paying the taxi driver and stepping inside a fancy looking restaurant. Naruto looked at his casual attire and cringed. Sasuke didn't tell him anything about a dress code, hoping there was none, he went inside. The blond player was given a look of inspection by the host of the restaurant, as if his presence wasn't welcomed. Naruto looked back – who had a thin and sharp mustache, reminding him of how cartoons would show sophisticated Frenchmen – and asked about where Uchiha Sasuke sat. The man fixed his long, sharp mustache and slanted eyes at Naruto, the blond felt the scrutiny and dissatisfaction radiate from him. Having proclaimed that Naruto was too poor for the high class restaurant, the man snorted.
"I'm afraid there's no reservation by that name."
The blond scratched his head and frowned. "Are you sure? Can you check again? U-C-H-I-H-A S-A-S-U-K-E."
The host wanted nothing more than to kick the blond out, especially after he spelt the name for him. However, he was a gentleman and won't revolt to such savage acts. "I assure you, sir, there's no reservation in my book by that name or another."
Naruto walked away from the entrance of the restaurant when new people came for their reservations. He quickly dialed Sasuke's number and was astonished when a hand tapped his shoulder, turning around, he grinned when he came face to face with his date.
Exclaiming in delight, Naruto greeted. "Sasuke! I was just about to call you!"
The Uchiha nodded, fixing his black suit up. "That's fine, what did you need me for?"
Naruto took a minute to check out the black haired player. He was clad in a black suit from head to toe, it was perfectly toned to his body, probably specially designed. Sasuke wasn't wearing a tie nor a vest, he was most likely aiming for a casual, classy yet formal look. It gave him a proper and alluring touch. His hair was combed backwards on one side, while his bangs fell lazily from the other side in a slanting manner. That's when the silver earing on his right ear shone brightly, catching Naruto's attention. Sasuke was a feast for the eyes, with his physique, his pale complexion and handsome features many were mesmerized. Of course, Naruto's eyes weren't any different.
"…You… you look good, Sasuke." The blond stumbled out a complement, feeling a slight blush at it.
Sasuke was a little taken aback by it, he wasn't expecting it so he nodded. It was always like that; Naruto would drop tiny complements when he least expected them. Sometimes, it made his heart thump erratically, other times it made him at a loss of what to say, this time it was the latter.
"Let's go in."
Before Sasuke could make his way inside, Naruto halted his movement. "Stop, Sasuke, we can't!"
"Why?" He asked with a brow raised.
"Because there's no reservation by your name. This is what I wanted to tell you on the phone, when I was about to go in, the host said there's no reservation."
Sasuke quickly rolled his eyes, grabbed Naruto's hand and walked inside. When the host saw Sasuke approach with Naruto in toe, he bowed respectfully. Sasuke didn't even glance at him as he mumbled.
"The usual table, please."
The man – still bowing – replied. "Understood, sir."
Sasuke walked into the restaurant and Naruto was just astonished at the display. He stayed silent as they were given a table on the second floor, by the windows, overshadowing the ocean underneath. The scenery was breathtaking, the dim lights and the cozy breeze illuminated a perfect décor. Even though the place was comfortable, the blond felt a little uneasy. He noticed the stares he was given and the whispers he was hearing. Almost all of them disapproved of his presence, he sighed inwardly, there really was a dress code. Glaring at his companion, Sasuke acted as if he was home, seemingly uninterested with all the attention.
"Sasuke," He whispered the name. "Why didn't you tell me there was a dress code?"
"Because there was no need."
A vein throbbed in his forehead, still whispering, he stressed his dissatisfaction. "Of course, there's a need. Look at everyone snickering at me, it's feels like I'm naked!"
Sasuke nonchalantly dismissed his worries. "Ignore them. Focus on me."
The blond sighed, there was no winning with Sasuke. He really believed there was no need to tell Naruto that little detail, Naruto was sure that even if he pressed the matter, Sasuke won't see the error of his ways. Choosing to abandon a losing battle, he asked instead.
"Then, tell me, how did they allow us in without a reservation?"
The raven haired male held out the menu and called one of the waiters, he ordered for the two of them, not giving Naruto a choice. When the waiter went away, Sasuke explained.
"Silly, Naruto, of course we don't have a reservation. My family owns this restaurant; why would I need a reservation to eat in it?"
Naruto's eyes widened, he looked at the fancy restaurant, the apparently wealthy people dinning and Sasuke. It dawned on him now that he was in the company of a rich young master. Naruto had been to Sasuke's house a couple of times, he knew he was loaded, yet it never really hit home until that moment. Feeling a little sheepish and at a loss of what to say, Naruto spoke the truth.
"I guess you're really rich, huh?"
"No, I am not. It's my father's money. I have no cent on my name." Sasuke reputed, munching on a garlic bread.
"Your father's money is your money, Sasuke."
"I chose to disagree, anyways," Sasuke waved his hands. "This isn't why I asked you here, Naruto. What I wanted to say was –"
Sasuke was interrupted when an elderly man came to greet him, the black eyed male lost all comfort in his voice and gave off a smile Naruto had never seen. It was clearly a business smile, fake and respectful. Naruto felt goosebumps flash under his skin at this, but he didn't comment until Sasuke sat down and continued.
"So where were we?"
Naruto helped him. "You were about to say why you asked me here."
"Oh, yes. First, let's say I'm treating you tonight, I ordered you my favorite dishes, I hope you'd enjoy them." Sasuke spoke with a soft tone, then he continued. "Second, I want to ask you something, I do wish you'd answer truthfully."
The blond was on his toes in a second. "…Okay."
"Do you know why I miss the first week of every month?"
Naruto felt his extremities get cold. He wanted to shy away from answering, but the way Sasuke was asking him made it impossible. Sighing, he resigned to the truth, after all, he was an honest man.
"Yes, I asked Neji-senpai one time and he told me. I just know that your mother is ill with a blood disorder and you go abroad for check-ups."
"Aha, I figured."
A waiter came and poured some champagne for the both of them, Naruto looked at the red, expensive liquid and swallowed hard. Not daring to touch the glass, he defended Neji.
"You should know, Sasuke, Neji-senpai only told me because I nagged and was worried about you. He didn't tell me anything too deep or stuff you won't want people to know –"
"I didn't want you to know about my mother, yet he still told you." Sasuke calmly commented, slightly annoyed.
Naruto felt trapped, he was regretting now admitting that Neji was the one who told him. He should have thought of an elaborate lie to conceal the truth. Yet being confronted like that, it left him no room to think of a countermeasure. He didn't want to be the reason for a fight between the two.
"Just… it's not Neji-senpai's fault, Sasuke, he didn't betray your trust, please, don't be mad at him." Naruto pleaded.
Sasuke took a sip from the red wine and replied. "I'm not mad, strange as it is, I understand why he told you. I'm just annoyed that he beat me to it. I do wish I was the one who discussed my family's situation with you."
A sigh of relief escaped Naruto's lips. "If that's really what you think, then there are a lot of stuff I don't know about you."
"Hmm…" Sasuke pondered, then asked when something caught his attention. "You don't drink?"
Naruto rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment. "I… I don't really like alcohol. I dislike how my mind gets fuzzy when I drink or how I lose my grasp on reality. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against those who like it, but to me, it's better kept away."
"Sometimes it's better to have a cloudy mind."
Blue orbs shone brightly with Naruto's next words. "I like to face my problems head on, people who drink a lot use it as means to escape reality, I don't want that way out."
Sasuke twirled the glass in between his fingers then nodded. "You have a point, but not everyone has that strength, Naruto. Life is quite hard, having something that makes you forget isn't so bad once in a while."
"Life is meant to be lived, Sasuke, both ups and downs. There's nothing as a perfect life. You live and you struggle, but if you keep on running… if you keep avoiding your issues, then you're not living; you're simply existing."
The raven haired male nodded at Naruto's words. "Alright, we will stop that discussion there. Then let's go to the third reason why you're here today, Naruto; this will be our first date, I agree to go out with you."
The blond looked with wide eyes at Sasuke who drank as if he was discussing the weather, and taking a sip from the glass before him didn't seem so hard right then.
Following a week into their supposed dating, Naruto noticed no change in Sasuke's behavior. Initially, he wanted to question why the raven haired male agreed, but he was a little afraid that Sasuke would change his mind and break up with him. Naruto wanted to try it out, going out with Sasuke, yet nothing in their relationship has changed. They went to practice, hung out afterwards and each left to his designated home. The blond frowned as he hugged his ragged football. Throwing it over his head, he stretched his hands and held it before it hit him. He was currently lying on his bed, leisurely enjoying his weekend. Actually, he wanted to hang out with Sasuke but the other said he needed to work.
Naruto knew how Sasuke was jiggling football, university and work so he didn't object. However, he did want to see the Uchiha even for a second. A crazy thought popped into his head, he flopped onto his feet and excitedly dialed his boyfriend's number. Five rings later Sasuke's voice came from the other side. Naruto joyfully exclaimed.
"Sasuke, where are you at now?"
There was a pause on the other line, then Sasuke's cool tone answered. "In the company."
"Send me the location!"
"…Why?" The hesitation didn't go undetected to Naruto's ears.
"Just do it."
"Okay."
With that their brief conversation came to an end, Naruto quickly went to the kitchen. A peep was heard from his phone, he glanced at the message of the location and put it away. The blue eyed male didn't know how to cook one hundred percent, but he was confident that he could whip out the best yakisoba pan in the prefecture. The last time he was cruising restaurants with Sasuke, he took a few notes. The traditionally bred Sasuke liked traditional Japanese food, especially soba. Naruto wasn't a fan, but different people had different tastes. For him, soba was only for new years and special occasions alongside sekihan, but to Sasuke, it was different. Much like tomatoes, the raven haired Uchiha adored the fruit.
Naruto quickly whipped the dough for the pan, putting a mind note to add lots of tomatoes to Sasuke's stuffing. Half an hour later, the food was perfectly prepared. He took a quick shower, changed into an outfit that he thought would be suitable for going over Sasuke's company and headed out. The location Sasuke gave was in the middle of the business district. There were no bus stations nearby, so Naruto's only solution was to take a taxi. As expected, the streets were crowded so it took more time than needed to get there.
As he entered the huge company, his eyes glossed over and he gulped. Holding the lunch box tightly, Naruto walked to the reception. A woman with short black hair and a professional attire, directed her glasses wearing eyes at him. With a bright grin, he spoke.
"Good afternoon, can you please call Uchiha Sasuke for me. Tell him Uzumaki Naruto wants to meet him."
The woman gave Naruto a smile and asked him to wait, she quickly dialed some numbers on the phone in front of her. A few seconds later, she informed him to take a seat on the café in the second floor and that Uchiha Sasuke-sama will be there with him as soon as possible. Naruto nodded and headed upstairs. The café was as common as they come. Filled with people in business suits and a few in casual clothes, he scowled. Now that he thought about it, he didn't really know what Sasuke's company did, Naruto decided to ask him the minute they meet.
Before the thought escaped his mind, the familiar silhouette of Sasuke walked over to his table. Naruto's eyes sparkled when he saw him. The raven haired male had his hair combed to the back completely, exposing a professional demeanor. His navy blue suit and tie fit him as usual, the blond felt a little unsettling at how sexy Sasuke was. Before drooling from the sight, Sasuke's voice called out to him.
"Idiot, stop undressing me with your eyes."
Naruto smiled sheepishly and replied. "Am I not allowed to? You're my boyfriend, aren't you?"
"There's place and time for everything." Sasuke gave him a small kiss on the cheek before sitting down, opposite of him. "So? What are you doing here?"
Naruto tried to act as if the peck did nothing to his heart and, put the lunchbox on the table to expose his masterpiece. "Here, I made yakisoba pan!"
Raising a brow at the unexpected treat, Sasuke questioned. "You came all the way here for this?"
"It's not 'for this', Sasuke," He corrected, a little annoyed with the way Sasuke was phrasing things. "It's for us to have lunch together. You might not have noticed, but it's been a while since we last met, I missed you."
A little laugh escaped Sasuke's lips and he commented. "Naruto, you're such a girl."
The blond was torn between rejoicing at the sound of Sasuke's laugh and getting angry at the nasty comment. He settled for neither and pushed the lunch box to the middle of the table.
"Whatever, you didn't have lunch yet, right?"
Sasuke loosened up his tie, ruffled his hair a little and sighed. "No, not yet, we've been swamped by work. We're launching a new project, that's why everything and everyone is in havoc. I think this is the first time I sit since this day has started."
When Naruto heard of Sasuke's busy schedule, he gave a reassuring smile. "Then you should thank God for having such a thoughtful boyfriend. I brought all the nutrients you need!"
"I highly doubt yakisoba pan is nutritious." Sasuke smirked at him.
"…Well, like the saying goes 'carbs are the kings of the food chain'." Naruto confidently blurted out.
Another laugh echoed from Sasuke. "You just made that up."
"I did," Naruto grinned back. "But it should be true, anyhow, dig in before it gets cold."
The raven haired male called one of the waitresses and asked for some beverages for the two of them, taking the chance to wash his hands. When he was back, Naruto had already put his share in a plate and asked him to sit and dine. Sasuke smiled, a feeling of contentment washed over him and he made a little wish for that instant to last a little bit longer.
It was the perfect moment, they had the whole apartment to themselves and the mood was set. Naruto had arranged everything so that he'd be able to move to the next step, actually kissing Sasuke and probably losing something more. Naruto told his raging heart to be still as he – blushing like a bride on her wedding day – put a hand over Sasuke's pale one. With determined eyes, he gulped his nervousness away.
"S-Sasuke… can I… um… k-kiss you?" Naruto felt more embarrassed after his little stuttering accident. He really couldn't approach this topic logically.
Sasuke put the glass of wine down and keenly looked at the blond. Naruto averted his eyes, then slowly pulled away his hand and finally broke down unable to meet Sasuke's gaze and covered his face with his two hands.
"You suck at this." Sasuke said with a smirk.
Naruto slumped on the table and wanted to dig a hole and die. "…"
He'd asked Sasuke to spend the night, Iruka was sleeping over at Kakashi's, and he made the perfect dinner. Candlelight was all around them, he even went as far as to steal Iruka's celebratory white wine for this chance. However, Naruto couldn't get over his embarrassment, he was too nervous for his own good, after all, this was his first boyfriend and his first relationship. He had no idea how to attract him or advance without saying it aloud.
Sasuke was enjoying himself over the other's inner breakdown. When Naruto called him over, he knew the blond had something in mind – his voice on the phone was too unnatural. As he walked into the apartment and was met with the sweet fragrance of roses, he cringed inwardly. It was true to his horror, Naruto had set a table filled with red roses, candles and a homemade dinner. There was effort in it so Sasuke obliged the blond, the food wasn't as awful as he'd guessed and the white wine was especially to his taste.
He applauded Naruto's attempt at being romantic.
Yet it all came to an end with his weakness to intimacy. It told Sasuke a lot, one for a start that this new boyfriend of his, was very new to relationships. The thought was alluring and charming to the Uchiha, that's why he put his glass down and decided to mentor a little.
"Naruto, look at me."
The blond was still caught in his own little world to respond, Sasuke rolled his eyes and slowly, his fingers crept into Naruto's hand. The blond raised his face at the new sensation, he saw Sasuke looking at him with a foreign gaze, he gulped. Sasuke stood up elegantly and walked to his side. Without saying anything, he took hold of Naruto's hands and directed them to his midsection, leaning down, Sasuke brought his face inches away from Naruto's.
Sasuke could feel Naruto's hot breath on his pale complexion, he slowly sat down on Naruto's lap. The blond was startled by the sudden action but when his boyfriend started playing with his hair, he forgot any objections he might have had. Surrendering himself to Sasuke, Naruto allowed him to dominate. Sasuke circled his arms around Naruto's neck and tenderly kissed his exposed clavicle. Slowly but tenderly, he made a trail of small kisses upwards, passing Naruto's neck, his chin – he avoided the lips – and up to his temple.
Naruto's eyes got half-lidded as pleasure shot to his system, his face was beat red and his mind was foggy, he licked his lips as he anticipated where Sasuke would touch him next. Yet suddenly, everything stopped and the pressure on his lap was lifted. Blinking out of ecstasy, Naruto looked at the raven haired male who returned back to his seat, glass in hand.
Sasuke's smirk deepened as he answered his puzzled eyes. "That's how you ask for a kiss, Naruto."
The blond didn't know what hit him, but he was sure, he'd just been played with. Feeling another set of embarrassment, for a different reason, wash over him and with the little hard-on Sasuke's touch aroused in him, Naruto excused himself to the bathroom. The sound of Sasuke snickering behind him didn't escape his hearing. Fifteen minutes later, he came out with a pout on his face.
"Sasuke, that wasn't nice! I wanted to make this day perfect!"
The raven haired male had discarded the meal by then and was sitting on the couch, watching TV. Causally, he patted the space next to him and called his boyfriend over.
"Then you shouldn't have been so easy to tease."
Like an obedient dog, Naruto was beside him in seconds. He hated to admit it, but he was totally in the palm of Sasuke's hand. The Uchiha took the chance, put the wine down and rested his head on Naruto's lap. By now, Naruto's excitement had died down. Yet when Sasuke looked at him, he was about to get fired up again.
"Naruto, do you know why I agreed to dating you?"
All the excitement died down immediately, the blond felt the insecurities and fears he was hiding surface. Gulping down the fork in his throat, he shook his head.
"No, not really."
"When I was with my mother doing her checkup, she told me a lot of stuff I didn't know." Sasuke started, eyes fixated on Naruto. "Apparently, she was the one who helped Itachi pull everything off. She didn't like the way Itachi was living his life, so she tried to set him free. Of course, she's still in contact with him –"
"So your brother's alright?" Unconsciously, Naruto interrupted him.
"Very much so. She refused to tell me at first, but when I pressured her, she caved in. He's living in an island actually and had opened a restaurant there. It was shocking, Itachi never mentioned that he liked cooking or wanted to specialize in it." A tiny, soft smile showed on Sasuke's lips as he spoke, "Yet now that I think about it, he was always spending his leisure time with our chef. I'm a little envious that I wasn't the one who helped with his worries, but since he's happy now and living the life he wanted, I guess everything's okay."
The blond started stroking Sasuke's hair, rejoicing in the softness of the locks. "I'm glad everything worked out. So how about your father? Does he know about all this?"
"Mother said she told him, at first he lashed out and disowned Itachi... he was mad at her, too. But as time passed, he was regretting everything, little by little, he saw the error of his ways. My father was actually blind to a lot of things, he thought he was treating Itachi with care, but he was smothering him instead. He's a man who won't understand if you didn't come right out and say your thoughts, so he never thought he was pressuring Itachi into anything. It all was clear when my mother told him, she said it was the first time she saw him cry."
Naruto liked the gentle smile on Sasuke's face, it made him feel closer to the other. "So… you still didn't tell me why you agreed to go out with me."
Sasuke shifted and sat back down. He supported his weight on one leg and left the other hanging lazily. With serious eyes, he addressed Naruto. "It was simple, actually. I did some soul-searching. I asked myself why I was so against dating you. In the past, I dated girls but it never worked out, they all would end up saying the same thing 'Sasuke-kun, you're different from your image' and dump me. The bitterness of the break-up left a mark on my subconscious. It's obvious that you like me, but how well could your feelings be trusted? Maybe it's just a phase or a simple crush you're having on someone you admire. Could I risk leaving another mark on myself if we break up? What if you end up saying the same things as those girls? On top of all those insecurities, I've never dated a guy for real. I did my share of fooling around, but there was no real relationship ever. So I have no experience in that field and as far as I could see, neither do you."
Naruto nodded, trying not to show how jealous he was of Sasuke's past hook-ups. "Yes, I don't, Sasuke. But… I wanted to try with you."
"I understand that now. Naruto, actually I like you a little more than you think I do." Sasuke said with a little blush on his cheeks. "You're someone different from all the people around me. You're foolishly adorable and an idiot with a great love for football equal or even greater than mine. You're a great friend, maybe one of the reasons why I refused you because I didn't want to risk it, I didn't want to lose your friendship. Love tends to ruin things. Neji once dated a close friend of his, when they broke up, he lost her from his life, 'till this day, he regrets dating her."
The blond rubbed the back of his head, thinking of the right words to say to ease Sasuke's worries. However, he found none, so he spoke the truth.
"Well, Sasuke, I can't promise you that I'll always be in your life, but I promise I will try my best not to leave. No one knows what the future holds, there are no guarantees that us going out will work out, maybe after a while we'd find out we're better off as friends, however, like I said before, I want to try dating you. There are some things in life you need to try first before you decide." He flashed one of his trademark grins. "Still, Sasuke, this feels right. I love having you in my life, you are smart, fun and most importantly, a great football player! You said love ruins relationships, right? I can't see why you think that, my parents loved each other and I saw nothing but happiness, so do yours, they are supporting each other in the good and bad times." Naruto continued. "There might be some toxic relationships out there, but that's not the fault of love, it's the fault of people misusing the emotion and abusing their partner. I would never abuse you, Sasuke, I will take good care of you… and I hope you would do the same."
A serene smile showed on Sasuke's face and he leaned in to capture Naruto's lips in a kiss. "Spoken like a charmer."
Naruto blushed and gathered his courage. "Sasuke, you shouldn't tease me too much."
Smirking at his boyfriend, the Uchiha licked his lips as he invited him. "Then show me what you've got."
The little self-control Naruto was expressing, was thrown out the window as he jumped the Uchiha. On the hard couch, Sasuke was forced onto his back, Naruto hungrily kissed every exposed inch of him. Sloppy kisses were planted onto Sasuke's lips, cheeks, eyes and temple. The onyx eyed male felt like he's being eaten alive, the little puppy turned out to be a hungry fox. However, as he saw Naruto's eyes cloud by pleasure, he realized it was too late to back down now. Besides, he was getting a little bit excited as well.
Burying his fingers in Naruto's hair, he brought the blond down for a passionate kiss. Sasuke directed his tongue inside Naruto's mouth and hit all the spots that made him moan, not a minute later, he felt Naruto's tongue push against his own lips. Sasuke allowed the battle to take place inside his mouth, his boyfriend proved to be a fast learner, he was able to perfectly copy Sasuke's technique, resulting in a set of excited groans to be released. A trail of saliva was connecting them as they parted for air.
"Bed, let's go to bed…" Sasuke whispered as the hard couch was honestly killing him.
Naruto nodded without saying anything. They stumbled to the bedroom, then slumped on the bed, Naruto continued attacking Sasuke, yet this time, the raven haired Uchiha stopped him forcibly. He took a minute to take off his shirt – since he feared Naruto would rip his expensive shirt in his blind excitement – and gestured Naruto to take off his jersey, as well. Happily, the blond obliged, he didn't know what took over him, but the nervousness he was experiencing totally vanished the minute he saw Sasuke's pale skin. His eyes lingered a little bit, savoring the image in his mind.
Sasuke felt a little bit neglected, he pulled and flipped the tables, putting Naruto on the bed and straddling him. One hand was playing with the blond's body while the other touched the bulge that was forming downstairs. When Naruto realized his manhood was about to be groped, alarm went off inside his head and he took hold of Sasuke's hand, blushing profusely.
"S-Sasuke… what are you doing?"
Sasuke smirked as he put a finger on Naruto's lips. His hair was covering his eyes and a black pupil was seen in the dark lit room. He whispered as his hand continued touching Naruto's bulge.
"Huuush, I'll take you to heaven~"
Slowly, almost sinfully, Sasuke unzipped Naruto's jeans, he saw a huge stain on the forefront of the boxers and his smirk widened. Rubbing the hard cock through the fabric gave him a sense of pleasure, Naruto bit back his voice as his body responded to Sasuke's strokes. He wanted to stop that pale hand but for the love of him, he couldn't muster a courage. Just when he thought it was over, Sasuke released Naruto's cock from the boxers and bare skin met the throbbing member.
The black haired Uchiha whistled. "You're a big boy, Naruto."
Naruto's blush deepened as he tried to stifle another moan. "Mmm… t-thank you... I... guess…"
Sasuke took out Naruto's hard member and started stroking it up and down, the blond was forced to keep quiet as Sasuke thrust two of his fingers inside his mouth, smearing them with Naruto's saliva, just when he saw tears roll up Naruto's eyes, he took them out and leaned down to capture his lips in an adoring kiss. All the while, he kept a hard hold on Naruto's dick. The blond wasn't that accustomed to anyone holding him like that, he himself hadn't masturbated as much as his peers – he was always running around playing football and whenever he'd get a hard-on, he'd tiredly sleep it off – so he was at a loss of what to do.
Sasuke pressed on the head of his penis, causing Naruto to shriek out and cum all over his hands. They were both startled by the fast, unexpected cum. Naruto felt his embarrassment return doubled. Sasuke snickered on top of him and left no room for his boyfriend to hide.
"Naruto, Hahaha that was… so fast!"
"…P-Please, no more." The blond covered his face with both hands, trying to disappear if possible.
The raven haired Uchiha removed Naruto's hands from his eyes and directed them to his own groin. Naruto felt the hot throbbing member underneath Sasuke's jeans respond to his touch.
"We're continuing, I didn't cum yet."
Naruto gulped as he massaged the bulge in Sasuke's jeans, with the erotic moans Sasuke was making, his dick returned to life in less than a minute. He was too focused on Sasuke's face that he was oblivious to his pales hands, secretly putting a condom on his dick. Suddenly, Sasuke stripped naked, Naruto's eyes glued to Sasuke's cock. It wasn't as thick as his, but it was longer and veiny. Sasuke's pubic hair was very soft, falling around his member and highlighting the pale skin. Naruto felt his mouth water and eagerness ran through him.
This time, he boldly took hold of Sasuke's penis, and tried to think of how to make him feel good. A couple of minutes passed and Naruto did nothing, when Sasuke saw Naruto's head overheat, he rolled his eyes and mumbled under his breath. "Really, virgins are a headache."
"Sasu –!"
His words were sealed by a kiss, Naruto's hands were linked with Sasuke's as he kissed the life out of him. Before the blond passed out from over excitement, Sasuke broke the kiss and instructed.
"Listen, from now on, I will be leading. What I'm going to do would be a one-time thing, don't think I'll always be a neko. I'm willingly choosing to take this burden off your shoulders… be grateful!"
Naruto was puzzled as to what the other meant, yet before he was able to voice his wonders, he saw Sasuke take the fingers that he'd immersed in saliva and add some lotion from his nightstand, then insert them into his asshole. At that moment, Naruto forgot how to breathe, he watched hooked as his boyfriend gave him the perfect service.
"You better ummm…pay attention… huuumm…"
The blond did some research about sex between males when he was interested in Sasuke, but in his head, he thought they were still far off from it. Never would he have guessed Sasuke would end up on top of him so soon. Gulping, he felt his dick about to explode. The western porn he'd watched didn't come close to how sexy Sasuke was right now, he looked as two fingers fit inside Sasuke's hole.
"Umm… S-Sasuke, can I help?" He asked when he saw a pained expression show on Sasuke's face.
The raven haired male didn't respond, having full concentration on what he was doing.
Naruto looked at his throbbing member and cringed at the sight, it was getting bigger by the second, he'd end up hurting Sasuke like this. The last thing he wanted to do was cause their first time to become a trauma. When he came close to the Uchiha, Sasuke smacked his hands away and ordered.
"S-Stay put, don't touch me now."
Naruto was a little dejected, but he allowed the other his leisure. He watched patiently as Sasuke introduced yet another finger inside, currently he wasn't able to maintain a sitting position, so he was lying with his fingers stretching his insides. Naruto wiped the blood that was about to leave his nose and tried not to stare, because one wrong look and he'd end up spurting again.
"Uhhuu… ahhh… haa…"
The blond lost it at that, he looked and was met with a flushed Sasuke, even his ears were red. His eyes were half-lidded and there were tears falling down his cheeks, Naruto wasn't sure the Uchiha could see him through the foggy eyes now. Finding his courage, he came close to Sasuke and licked the tears falling from the sides of his eyes, Sasuke gave a small smile and whispered.
"Naruto…"
The blond took that chance and leaned in to kiss him tenderly, he patted Sasuke's head softly and trailed kisses down his neck. Gently, his fingers circled a nipple and he started playing with it. The blond wasn't sure if Sasuke could feel pleasure from it, but he hoped he did. Abruptly he felt the raven haired male pull on his arm, then Sasuke's legs circled around his midsection.
"Now… enter me, Naruto, but slowly..."
His face flushed and he felt heat radiate off of him, Naruto kissed Sasuke lovingly and nodded. Stationing himself before the other's entrance, he prepared his thumping heart. Noticing that his cock had a condom on, he blinked the small detail, impressed that his boyfriend put it on him without him realizing. As he focused, his mind started racing, Sasuke was giving him his all, preparing himself carefully for Naruto, he should do this right, he couldn't hurt him, he shouldn't make this a bad experience, he shouldn't –
"Stop thinking." Naruto was jolted from his inner anxiety at the stern tone of Sasuke, his eyes glazed at the other and Sasuke encouraged. "Don't think of anything, Naruto… relax and go in slow, don't worry, I prepared beforehand, it will be alright."
Naruto bit his lips, what was he doing getting Sasuke to encourage him at this point? He was a man, why was he getting scared right now? Sasuke was right, there was no need to be nervous, this was an act of love, Sasuke was giving himself up because he loved him. He shouldn't feel pressured, but grateful. Sasuke trusted him. As his worries started evaporating little by little, Naruto softly made his way inside Sasuke's hole.
There was a little bit of resistance and Sasuke's face twisted in pain, but Naruto kept going in. The tightness was unreal, he felt his member twitch and his heartrate increase. Now, half of his dick was inside, he waited until Sasuke seemed to get used to his length then pushed inside some more. With every push, he gave a few minutes for Sasuke to adjust. Finally, all of his dick was engulfed in Sasuke's heat, Naruto looked amazed at the human body.
Never would he have guessed his big member would fit inside Sasuke's tight hole, yet here it was, blazingly so.
"N-Naruto," Sasuke spoke almost out of breath. "You c-can…ughh…move."
The blond nodded and gradually started moving. His thrusts were unhurried at first since there was still resistance from Sasuke's insides. It was a place for stuff to come out not for things to go in, so he expected as much. Naruto understood the rejection those muscles were expressing, he was a foreign object invade their secure environment, but as he continued thrusting, the resistance was getting lesser, as if the muscles got used to his presence. He smiled as he thought of how Sasuke was like that as well, in the beginning he was cold to him, but slowly he opened up.
"Uhmmmnn…. Uahh…. Mmm…."
The moans reaching his ears told him that he was doing a good job, he continued with speed and force, quickly his own groans matched Sasuke's. They were sweating like crazy, getting down to kiss Sasuke felt like normal, and not wanting to neglect Sasuke's throbbing member, Naruto tried to use one hand to stroke the head of Sasuke's dick. It was the place that made him feel good, so he hoped the same worked for Sasuke.
Unfortunately, with every thrust he made, his own member couldn't take the pressure anymore and without meaning to, Naruto cummed for the second time before Sasuke. His face paled as his dick slid out of his boyfriend.
Panting for air, Sasuke looked at the blond and his limp dick and commented. "…Naruto, you're way too fast."
Naruto wanted to die right then and there, he quickly started stroking his dick but it was to no avail. He was too embarrassed that his penis didn't respond to any of his stimulation. Soon tears were gushing out of his eyes, he heard the bed creak and saw Sasuke stand up. Swiftly, he held him back.
"Wait! Where are you going?"
Sasuke looked at him and didn't even mince his words. "To the bathroom, virgin, you cummed twice, I haven't even cummed once. You don't expect me to sleep with a hard-on, do you?"
"Err… no, I don't, I'll help you with it! Just give me a minute!" Naruto desperately halted.
Sasuke's expression softened at the droopy eyes, he pulled his boyfriend to a kiss before gently expressing himself. "Listen, I'm not mad, it's perfectly fine that you ejaculate fast… I'm that good. Besides, it's your first time, my first time was similar… however, I made her cum at least."
The Uchiha's was a little naughty at the end, and his words made his boyfriend want to bawl his eyes out again.
"Please, allow me to make you cum!"
The determination in those blue orbs was one of the things that drew Sasuke to Naruto, Sasuke simpered and hopped back on bed, with open arms and a throbbing cock, he allowed his boyfriend the luxury of bringing him to ecstasy. This time Naruto didn't use his mind, he used his instinct. If his member wasn't obliging with him, he'd use something else. He sat on the foot of Sasuke's legs and drew him close, until his ass was facing Naruto's face. Sasuke blushed at the daring position but didn't voice any objections.
Naruto observed the place his dick was thrusting a few minutes ago and licked his lips. Extending a tongue out, he licked the area around Sasuke's entrance. The smell of his cum was still very strong, mixing with Sasuke's natural scent, it was musky and Naruto didn't feel himself hating it. Softly he introduced his tongue inside, closing his eyes, he concentrated on giving Sasuke the best service he could ever hope for.
It didn't take long after that for Sasuke to reach orgasm, Naruto's tongue was magical, even though it wasn't skilled, it had a proper sense. Naruto also used his fingers alongside his tongue to reach Sasuke's prostate. The raven haired male came all over Naruto's face and his own stomach, clutching the sheets as his lips quavered in delight. The thick cum dripped from Naruto's locks and he blushed when he saw Sasuke sprayed with the white liquid all over him. Sasuke's face looked satisfied as he praised.
"Well done, Uzumaki~"
Naruto reddened more and kissed Sasuke but the raven haired player stopped him. With knotted brows, the blond questioned. "What?"
"You were just eating my ass; we're not kissing until you brush that mouth of yours."
Puffing his cheeks, Naruto sulked. "It's not that bad, a little kiss won't hurt."
"No means no, besides," Sasuke smirked as he flicked the semi-hard-on of Naruto. "If I kissed you now, we'd go for another round and I'm tired. So go please take care of that in the bathroom, don't forget to brush your teeth."
Naruto's face was as red as a tomato now, quickly he scrambled out the room. All the way forcing his heart to be still and his mind to catch up with what they have done just then.
Thank you for reading, the upcoming chapter would be the last one~
