Ravens and Foxes

Chapter 4: To Belong

***Time-Skip: 1 Week***

Sasuke viciously attacked the posts with his newest perfection of Chidori, trying to ease his frustration through training. Orochimaru would be back any day now and he'd been too kind to the blonde.

He was supposed to be forcing Naruto to hate him with all his being, but when he was around the boy and let his guard down for even a moment, his resolve would fail him. The Uchiha was so upset at his lack of restraint that he would have spit on a puppy if it tried to comfort him.

The blonde had been accepting of his mood swings like always, seamlessly flowing from submissive captive to content friend. He couldn't understand how anyone, even someone as strong willed as Naruto, could possibly forgive him that easily. The Raven doubted he would pardon him if the positions were reversed. But that only made him desire the boy even more.

He needed to feel the blonde writhing against him; to know that he alone could elicit such trust and love. Sasuke wanted to be certain that even if he had hurt him to his core, Naruto would still accept him back with open arms and want him to be there always. He wanted to belong to the blonde and the blonde to belong to him.

The Uchiha felt a familiar tug in his lower abdomen that not even intense training could satiate. Giving up on curbing his needs, he stormed back into the hideout, heading straight for his captive's room. He nearly broke down the door with the force he put behind pushing it open, startling Naruto from his previously peaceful sleep.

Despite the gentleness that he had received from the Raven in the past week, it didn't completely erode his general anxiety of angering his crush. Seeing Sasuke livid for something most likely beyond his control brought his fear to the surface and he scrambled to get under the bed, cowering away from the blind rage.

Sasuke growled loudly at the display and yanked the boy from his hiding place, thrusting him down to the bed roughly. His forearm crushed into Naruto's chest to hold him still while he attacked his lips, easily dominating the one-sided kiss.

The blonde whimpered into the other's mouth and tried to think of what to do. Eventually, he remembered a conversation he had with Kiba months ago about mating. The young Inuzuka had just been through his first true heat and was explaining what that meant to the confused, but curious boy.

***Memory***

"What the hell do you mean you're too tired to train?" Naruto whined.

"I mean that I'm exhausted from going through heat and I want to relax today you idiot!" Kiba replied, annoyed that the blonde was so loud.

"Whaa? What's that?" The blonde questioned.

"You mean what's 'heat'?" Kiba confirmed. "Heat is something that clans like mine, ones that are really in tune with animals, go through when they hit puberty. Just basically means we get all horny and act like a wild animal until it passes or we have sex with someone."

Naruto looked like his eyes would pop out of his head, so the dog-nin continued to explain as best he could. "I'm a male, so I've got to be locked up away from everyone or I could get someone hurt. My instinct to dominate is really powerful, and I wouldn't be able to stop myself from forcing some poor girl down on all fours."

The blonde blushed wildly but looked thoughtful. "Wait, so what do girls do then? I mean, when they go into heat they don't do that too do they?" Naruto had met Kiba's mother and sister and wouldn't put it past the women. They were just as scary as Sakura and Tsunade when they were mad.

"Naa, for the most part, it's different for women of my clan. They want to be dominated, not really to dominate if you get what I'm saying…" Kiba answered, his own blush starting to show on his red-painted cheeks.

"So, what happens if you were to get out then? Or if you were on a mission and went into heat?" Naruto wondered out loud, trying to figure out just how things had worked before villages were created.

"That's not ever going to happen. We keep really strict timelines and aren't allowed out of the house for the week before and after our heat. But if you ever found yourself about the get attacked by some random sex-crazed asshole, I'd recommend lying on your back in a submissive position. You know, like dogs do." Kiba concluded, looking equally as thoughtful as the blonde.

***End Memory***

Knowing there was nothing else to do, Naruto assumed the position Kiba had told him about, spreading his legs so the boy would have access and laying his hands palms up by his head. He even tilted his chin back so the Raven would be able to easily bite at his throat if he wanted.

The awkward position made Sasuke pause and pull his head back from the boy's lips. He knew exactly what the pose meant, and wasn't sure if he should laugh at how dumb it was considering he wasn't in heat, or be ashamed that he'd come off like an animal.

Naruto's blue eyes flickered open and gazed up at the Uchiha. He could see the confusion and self-loathing in the black orbs and leaned up to nuzzle the underside of his lover's chin.

The Raven turned his head away in shame; he'd almost lost it again and forced Naruto to do something he didn't want to. He hovered over the boy and tried to calm his lust filled breathing, reminding himself that if he wasn't careful, he'd surely lose him. Not even the blonde could hold out against such abuse forever.

"I'm sorry…you just scared me that's all. I didn't mean for you to stop" Naruto whispered softly.

The elder turned his head back to glare at the boy beneath him. "Don't act like you actually want this dobe. I know you like Sakura."

Naruto got a funny look on his face before he started to chuckle, daring to run his hands over the Uchiha's flexed biceps. "I only flirted with Sakura because I thought you'd eventually fall for her. If I couldn't have you that was one thing, but I couldn't stand the idea of you two together.

Sasuke stared into his crushes eyes, searching for a glimmer of a lie. Part of him was ecstatic that he couldn't find one, but the other half felt sick over being so rough with the boy. Had he just trusted what Naruto was trying to tell him from the beginning, none of this would have ever happened. Still, his doubt was not completely eliminated; he hadn't heard the blonde say exactly what he wanted to hear yet.

As if sensing, what his love was still battling with, Naruto relaxed back as much as he could. "I'm yours Sasuke, no one else's" he purred, running his hands further up the boy's arms to rest on his pale cheeks. "And my feelings for you haven't changed; I want you to come back to Konoha and be mine for the rest of our lives."

The Uchiha felt all his anger and hatred dissipate, but his sexual frustration continued to grow. He'd not fully had sex with Naruto for over a week now, and while he was just fine being asexual before claiming the blonde, he sure as hell wasn't now. But as his eyes lingered on the brilliant blue of his lovers, he couldn't take him right there.

"Naruto, I need you and I want to-" he whispered, his voice just a hair away from being considered a whine.

The boy interrupted him with a sensual kiss, granting the Raven permission to do whatever he wanted with him.

Sasuke's mind went black with excitement. He hurriedly picked up the blonde bridal style and kicked open the door to the small room, walking swiftly to his own. When they arrived, he dropped the boy on his satiny sheets, stripping himself of the restricting clothing.

Naruto sat on his knees, watching the Raven undress, his eyes full of nervousness and desire. The thought of being stretched around the Uchiha worried him; it had always been painful in the past. But this was Sasuke, and he'd do anything to please him.

When he finished taking off his pants, the Raven noticed the blondes prying eyes and for the first time, he felt self-conscious. They'd had sex many times before this moment, but never in a consensual manner.

"Don't look at me like that dobe" he muttered, pushing the blonde onto his back.

Seeing that his crush was just as anxious as he was immediately put Naruto at ease, his prior fears slipping away. He giggled at the Uchiha's bashful face and wrapped his arms around his neck lovingly.

"What's the matter, scardy cat" he teased, kissing the Raven's jaw.

Sasuke growled and pressed their bodies together, trying to will his blush away. But their combined need only made his blood pump faster, filling his already flushed face before being redirected to his growing cock.

The two rolled around on the soft bed, kissing each other passionately, their hands searching the other's skin endlessly as the last of their clothes were removed.

Naruto ended up on top, his legs straddling the elder's waist. He could feel Sasuke's pulsating length and moaned into his lover's mouth, squeezing his shoulders to urge him onward. The Uchiha felt his heart beat even more rapidly than it was now, faster than he thought could have been possible.

His pale hands pushed Naruto upright, then trailed down his exposed torso. "He's perfect," he thought as goose bumps followed.

The blonde raised up slightly, freeing Sasuke's large member from beneath him. He could feel the hot head standing at attention near his entrance and looked down at his lover. The Raven was panting lightly, his cheeks still pink-tinged and his eyes glazed over in want.

Naruto bit his lip a little, knowing how much it would probably hurt to have him inside his passage again. But when the Uchiha raised his own eyes to meet the blondes, all worry and hesitation were lost from his mind. He lowered his body back down, not stopping until he was filled completely.

"Fuck, Naruto," Sasuke moaned, his eyes rolling back at the fantastic heat and tightness. His hands gripped the boy's hips tightly, holding him still. He could feel the tight ring coiling around him, and knew Naruto was in pain.

Tan fingers ran up Sasuke's pale thighs, then over his hands and onto his strong arms. When they finally settled, they were pressed lightly into the Raven's chest, dancing softly from the erratic breathing.

Naruto began rocking his hips slowly, gliding the Uchiha's manhood in and out of him. The mild stretching pain he felt was ebbing away leaving him feeling nothing but pleasure from the gentle pace.

The Raven had yet to open his eyes. His ears memorized the soft mewls and gasps from the boy on top of him as his hips rolled; he didn't think this could get any better.

"Ah… Sasuke…mmnng… harder…" Naruto panted out.

Never mind; that was definitely better. Sasuke held the boy's waist firm and bent his knees to thrust upward. He snapped his hips, slamming into the writhing boy, the force knocking the blonde forward. His hands flew to the bed next to Ravens dark hair to steady himself.

It didn't take long for the Uchiha to find that somewhat elusive bundle of nerves. He jerked forward into the quivering hole repeatedly, moaning from the amazing feeling.

Naruto dropped to his elbows, his mouth tucked firmly into his lover's neck, leaving butterfly kisses in between his labored breaths.

Their insides tightened in unison as the pleasure continued to wash over them, each thrust pulling them deeper into the sweet oblivion of an orgasm.

Sasuke's arms wrapped tightly around Naruto, his whole body curling up as his vision went white. The blonde felt the sticky liquid seeping into him and let out a high-pitched whine, grinding himself down as his own climax crashed through him.

The two sweating bodies didn't move; all their energy having been spent.


The teens lay sleeping in each other's arms for hours after they had finished making love. Sasuke was the first to wake, and couldn't help but smile at the content look Naruto had on his drooling face.

His temporary happiness slowly turned sour when he remembered the boy was still a captive to his sensei and eventually would be used in some horrendous test. As much as he wanted to stay with the blonde, he still had to fulfill his destiny to avenge his clan, and Naruto would never be safe here, even with his protection.

Sasuke knew what needed to be done. He'd take his lover back to the Hidden Leaf and drop him off. Orochimaru would be sure to punish him, but not so bad as to cause any real damage; he still needed the teen's body to be strong for the ritual.

The Raven had no intention of giving his body to the Snake, but he still had several months left, and he'd use all of them to ensure he was strong enough to kill Itachi. He just hoped that Naruto would understand why he left him yet again.
