Hi again we're back with a little sasunaru action but not to much just yet. Sorry again about my grammar and spelling I'm working on it.

Disclaimer: As always I don't own Naruto but if I did boy would there be some changes.

Chapter two

Understanding just enough

Naruto kept the kiss chaste. He knew they had some serious things to talk about and he had some questions of his own. "How long have you felt this way about me, I didn't really see this coming at all." Rolling his eyes Sasuke just sighed. "Honestly I've loved you before I killed Itachi, I just couldn't back down and come home to you." Naruto stiffened in Sasukes hold slightly and pulled away. "But you tried to..." Sasuke was quick to cut him off to explain. He pulled Naruto back into his embrace. Naruto fell with a huff back into his arms and just listened to Sasuke speak his mind.

"We now know that the seal that was placed on me influenced my mind, feelings, and actions. In my head when I first went to orochimaru I thought that cutting off all bonds would help me focus my hate. If I cut out all the good In my life I'd become strong, stronger than Itachi. If I cut you down nothing and no one else could stop me."

When Naruto didn't respond right away he gently started to rub his back with slow circles. "Then after a while I thought about you more and more. What is he doing, how strong has he gotten, does he miss me, would he have come with me if I asked him too, is he safe from the Akatsuki; from Itachi. Things like that crossed my mind daily, my feelings had changed. After spying on orochimaru and hearing talk of what the Akatsuki had planned for the Jinchuriki I realized that if I couldn't kill Itachi and the rest of the Akatsuki you'd never be safe."

Hugging Sasuke tight for a second he reminded him of the life they lived the job they had. "We're ninja we'll never be safe not even in this time of peace. There will always be someone lurking in the shadows down to a petty thief or someone like Madara popping up again." With a shuddering breath Sasuke nodded and he pulled him closer. "Yes I know but back then that fear made me hesitate in my thoughts to stay with Orochimaru." "What fear?" "The fear of losing you. My thoughts started to become darker after that realization. Kill the source of my fear and be consumed by hate. Kill you before they had a chance. Make sure your last moments where with me not suffering because they sucked kurama out of you. If I couldn't kept you safe it was better to end you myself. "

Naruto pulled back with a slight chuckle. Sasuke just stared at him confused by his reaction. " In a fucked up kind of way that was pretty sweet of you, I'm just happy it didn't come down to that." He just gave a small smile and kissed Sasuke's cheek. Resting his head on Naruto's shoulder Sasuke just couldn't understand how Naruto can always see the good in any situation. "Dobe, I can't see how that's your reaction to something so fucked." "Well you don't feel that way anymore right, you love me without Orochimaru's influence its no longer covered in darkness. My question is why didn't you say anything when you came back home?"

Dark eyes looked down and away for a few seconds. "To be honest I thought you still saw me as a brother and that you were still in love with Sakura. Clearly she wasn't in love with me anymore, I thought it was you and her for a long time now." Naruto snorted and nuzzled into Sasuke's neck and gave a small laugh. "Me and Sakura that's funny only because it was never me. Even when she pretended she did. It wasn't real, it was only to make me stay and stop me from going after you. When you guys got on so much better after you came back, I thought that you guys were finally together. I didn't even know her feelings had changed untill a little while ago."

Naruto paused and thought on the matter some. Looking back on the past few years Naruto came to see that it was quite obvious in hine sight that Sakura no longer loved Sasuke. She no longer acted like a love struck fool around him. No longer went out of her way to be in his presence. Sasuke squeezed Naruto's waist to get his attention. "You seemed lost for a second there."

Breaking out of his memories with a shake of his head Naruto continued his thought. "Yeah I was just thinking. When I did like Sakura I didn't think about her all the time like I did you. Thinking of her didn't make my heart tremble. Didn't make my heart sing with joy when she was near nor sadness when she was away. That's when I realized it was you and me or no one. I'm so happy it can finally; finally be you and me."

"You'll allow me to be by your side for your heat." "Not just my heat but always, I want you to be my mate. If you'll have me of course." "So to mate and to be a mate are different?" "Yes, being a mate means we'll belong to each other and no one else. So if you want me make sure it's what you truly want Sasuke because I know I want you for the rest of my life." "You're all I every really wanted Naruto, always." With a watery laugh Naruto clung to Sasuke even tighter then before over come with his emotions. Sasuke just returned the gesture with a smile of his own.

"So how do I become your mate?" Sasuke ask with a curious look and tilt of his head. "Um ok it's going to sound weird again but I'll have to put my mark on you and you'll have to do the same." "Do we have to wait for your heat to be mated?" "No I'd rather do it before my heat I get all loopy with lust and I want to remember the first time I have you inside me." At that Sasuke burst into flames turning several shades of red untill settling on a light pink. "Are you ok Sasuke your cheek is really hot." As Naruto started to pull back Sasuke held tight not wanting him to see his blush. With a light cough he replied. "I'm ah... um good just don't say things like that I'll get worked up." "What do you mean worked up?"

When he want to pull back again Sasuke's hold loosened and Naruto's eyes locked on his sudden understanding dawned on him. "Oh oh ok sorry I ah um ok got it." Naruto said with a light blush of his own. Muttering under his breath with mischief in his eyes. "Note to self don't say dirty things in front of Sasuke cause his a pervert." "I'm not!" "Yes you are." "You're the one talking about me being inside you, so who's the pervert you or me." Busting with laughter Naruto barely gets out his response. "Still you, Sasuke teme!" "God your impossible." "But you love me don't ya?" "I do I really; really do."

Sasuke kissed Naruto one more time before putting some space between them, so they could finish talking. Staring at one other with small smiles they both sighed with contentment. "So what does this all mean, explain everything to me." "Ok well first like I said I have to mark you. It could be anywhere on your body. In order for me to do this I'll have to bite you, I'll let you pick the place if you want. My chakra will then fuse with yours. You can mark me as well but it's not required to complete the mate bond."

"Why isn't it necessary?" "Will you let me finish I'll get there teme." "Sorry." Sasuke looked on with a sheepish smile. "Well to be honest if you return the bite your life will be tied with mine. If I die you die too, but if you don't and I die you continue living." "What if something happens to me after you mark me will you die too." Naruto just gave him a look but continued. "Yes but..." "Then I'll return the bite." "Stop doing that. Look Sasuke this isn't something to take lightly you..." "I'm not I promise we've lived without each other for years I don't want that again from now on where you go I go." Taking his hand and holding it tight never wanting to lose what they gained from the love they shared. Sasuke looked into Naruto's ocean blues hoping that he'd understand. "Ok I understand but stop interrupting me it's getting rather annoying. I'm just making sure you know you don't have to, I'll understand." With a withering look Sasuke glares at him. "Naruto." With a huff Naruto just nods staring at his love. "So is there anything else to know?"

Naruto snaps out of his love stooper and shakes his head. "Um right yeah, when you return the bite your chakra will fuse with mine. We'll both become stronger, faster, and we might even be able to read each others minds in times of stress." "That could have come in handy years ago." Sasuke muttered with a smirk on his pale pink lips "Oh shut up teme!" Naruto rolled his eyes and gently smacked him on the knee.

Naruto looked up at Sasuke through his lashes while biting his lip. "You'd think that would be it but to fully complete the bond we have to have sex." As Naruto spoke Sasukes eyes were locked on his face admiring the beauty that loved him. Admiring the way his lips moved. Wanting to kiss them again became all he could think of and started to lean in but quickly caught himself. Remembering that this conversation is more important than kiss. "Right so is that what you want now?"

"Well not really we know almost everything about one another but we don't know this side, the more sensual side. I want to get to know that side of you before we do the bond." Naruto tilted his head to the side bringing a finger to his lips to nibble on the nail drawing Sasuke's attention right back to his lips. "I still want to do it before my heat though, so that gives us about four months to get there." Nodding Sasuke agreed "If that's what you want we'll wait." "Do you not want to wait Sasuke?" He turns and looks at Sasuke from the corner of his eye.
Still nibbling on his nail.

"Its not that, I've waited years for you I can wait less than four months to complete the bond, but kissing is definitely happening." "Oh really now." With a smirk on his lips Sasuke leaned forward and brushed them against Naruto's. "Most definitely, I've had a taste of your lips I can't go back anymore." He whispered as he pulled away. With a smoldering look Naruto pulled him back in with his shirt. Kissing him with all the pent up passion hes held for him over the years.

Not to be out done Sasuke took control of the kiss deepening it searching out Naruto's tongue with his own. Moans could be heard coming from Sasuke and Naruto as he sucked on his tongue. Breaking the kiss momentarily Sasuke pulled Naruto onto his lap holding him down by his waist. They both sought to quickly reconnect their lips. Naruto fought to be in control running his tongue along the walls of Sasuke's mouth. In doing so it gave Sasuke the chance to return the favor. Sasuke nipped and sucked on Naruto's lips and tongue. Nipping to hard on the lip in his mouth he sucked on it to reduce the pain. Naruto pulled away with a loud moan of his own. Not realizing he was starting to rock his hips back and forth, panting and staring into the sharingan eyes of his partner he drove back in but was met with a chaste kiss.

"What what's wrong did l..." With another kiss Sasuke cut him off. All motion stopped as Sasuke held Naruto's hips in place. Sasuke leaned in resting his forehead against his, looking into Naruto's eyes he spoke with a deep, gravelly; husky voice. "Nothings wrong it's just if you don't want me to take you right here right now we should stop." Feeling how Sasuke was holding tight to his hips he realized what had happened. Wiggling Naruto felt Sasuke's hard length between his cheeks and they both moaned.

Naruto pulled away quickly climbing off his lap and leaned his head on the back of the couch. Taking deep breaths to calm down. "Sorry Sasuke I got carried away." With a low chuckle he looked to Naruto. "I could see and feel it, we'll wait for the right time so I can make love to you slowly. I don't want a quick fuck I want to taste every inch of you." "You're not making this easy teme." Scowling as he looked back at him. "Well neither are you dobe."

Smirking Sasuke got up and went to the kitchen. He quickly returned with a glass of water. "Here drink this and cool down. I'm going to start making dinner, your staying right?" "Yeah, thank you do you want any help." "No I got it, if you help I'll probably end up fucking you on the table and then we'd never eat." Naruto choked on his water coughing he looked up at Sasuke wheezing. Sharingan still activated staring into Naruto's eyes Sasuke just walked away laughing. "NOT FUNNY TEME."

Grumbling under his breath Naruto thought he was in way over his head. "Stupid perverted teme made me choke on my water." Sasuke poked his head back out of the kitchen with a smirk. "I heard that dobe, but don't worry you'll choke on something else later." Turning an aggressive red Naruto demanded that Sasuke make their dinner with a shout. "Damn it Sasuke go make the damn food!" "Alright alright it'll be done shortly." "Hurry up teme!" Walking back into the kitchen shacking his head Sasuke thought his dobe was quite cute with a deep blush on his cheeks. With a smile on his face he started the process of making his loves favorite food. Pork ramen with eggs and small naruto cakes.

A little longer and a tad bit spicy with a hint of sweet tell me what you guys think. Drop a review but be gentle I'm quite squishy.
