My apologies, my apologies! I've had a terrible case of writer's block these days. Forgive me, 'cause chapter four is coming around Friday. This one's for you, Robin the bird!

Despite the jetlag, Sasuke awoke to the sound of water running at full force. Sunlight peeked through the ocean blue curtains of the window that gave an ocean view. The raven tried to open his eyes, but they snapped shut as golden rays of sun hit his pupils. He lifted himself from his cloud-like bed to get something inexpensive from the mini-fridge. He hoped that passion fruit water and macadamias won't show up on his bill costing a fortune. He sat himself back on his cloud. As he popped the cap on the bottle, the running water came to a stop, and a fruity-smelling steam flooded in from the bathroom.

So did Naruto, sans towel.

Sasuke almost choked on his macadamias. "What the hell Naruto?! I didn't invite you here to see your dick! Get a fucking towel." Sunlight bounced off Naruto's glistening-wet skin as beads of water slid over his tattoos. "Little Naruto" dangled peacefully between his tan thighs with that piercing crowning its head, torturing Sasuke's mind.

"What's the matter? Aren't you gay, teme?" the blonde said playfully. Naruto shook some water out of his hair.

"That's not the point!" Sasuke hissed back, blushing a bit. He set down his nuts and water and marched into the bathroom to freshen himself up. "And don't bother eating from the mini-fridge. Go to the buffet if you're hungry." He slammed the door and turned on the faucet.

Since Sasuke was in the bathroom with the only towels in the suite, Naruto dried himself off with one of the bathrobes hanging next to the door. He tossed on a pair of tight briefs (to prop up Little Naruto), threw on a chest-hugging tank top, and pulled on some orange board shorts. Plopping himself on Sasuke's bed, the blonde helped himself to the rest of Sasuke's macadamias and some Hawaiian-American television.

In the shower, Sasuke mindlessly lathered himself with a fruity body wash. The label read "Pineapple Passion" in golden letters. He scrubbed at his hair, being careful not to get the foam in his eyes. After he rinsed his raven locks, he finally gave attention to his growing hard-on.

'I can't believe that dobe's making me feel like this. Oh well…'

He squirted a handful of Pineapple Passion in his hand and worked up a rich white lather. Trying to push Naruto out of his mind, he began to stroke himself in a fast rhythm. But the blonde seemed to dance through his thoughts even more.

That sunkissed skin of his.

His whiskered-tatted cheeks.

Those sky blue eyes.

That shaggy blond hair.

His annoying, but still attractive smile.

His gorgeously tanned legs.

That ass.

Sasuke bit his lip and shot his cum down the drain, watching it eddy away with the soapy water. After another full body rinse, he stepped out of the shower and draped a towel around his waist. He brushed his teeth, dried his hair, and left the bathroom. Naruto was still laying on the bed.

And the only thing left of the macadamias was the plastic bag.

"I was waiting for you to get done showering so we could start the day together," Naruto told him.

Sasuke could only eye the empty bag of nuts on the table. "I told you not to eat anything from the fridge! And you're not allowed on the bed."

"But that wasn't in the fridge, Sasuke. It was on the table!" Naruto picked up the passion fruit water and pulled up the top. Before he could put it to his lips, Sasuke made a grab for it. Naruto did the best he could to keep it in his possession, but Sasuke was determined to get back his water.

"This one's mine, dobe! You saw me drink from it!" the raven hissed at him. "You had one yesterday."

Naruto knew that Sasuke had his lips on the bottle. He just wanted to have a little fun this morning. Annoying Sasuke in college was one of his favourite pastimes.

Sasuke was so busy trying to tame his mini-fridge fees that he forgot about the towel around his waist being the only barrier between him and Naruto. The blonde noticed, letting a sneaky smirk slip between his whiskered cheeks.

The two were face-to-face on the bed, still fighting to claim the passion fruit water. Sasuke fell on top of Naruto as the blonde held the prize further away. Then such a thing happened.

In one quick swoop, the towel was removed from the raven's waist, showing Naruto everything.

"Aww," Naruto cooed. "Looks like you were thinking about me in the shower," he said, eyeing his limp erection.

Angry, Sasuke picked up the towel and went through his luggage for some clothes. "Forget everything you saw, Naruto!" He forced his legs into a pair of boxers. "You know what? You can enjoy Hawaii on your own time!"

"Okay, okay teme! I'm sorry!" Naruto whined. "You can have your water back, and I promise not to go in the mini-fridge anymore. But please, please, pleeeeease let me spend time with you! I'll be a good boy!"

Sasuke sucked in his breath and put on a tanktop. He didn't bother replying to Naruto's whines.

"I didn't see your big dick, okay?" The blonde got off the bed and presented him with the passion fruit water. "Let's try to have some fun together this week." He flashed a bashful smile.

Sasuke wanted to relent now that they were sort of equals, but he kept his original intent and took the bottle with a swift hand.

"Don't fuck with me, dobe."

Naruto and Sasuke took the glass elevator to the main floor and went to the dining hall for breakfast. Naruto led the way since Sasuke didn't bother to explore the hotel yesterday. They went past the gushing fountain, the weight room, the first floor of the spa, and the wide door to the beach to get the food. Sasuke couldn't take it in fast enough. Then the smell of food hit him in the face. Before him was a three-story dining room, with dancers, aquariums, and gentle music flowing in the background.

"Aloha, and welcome to the Mahalo Dining Hall," said an Asian woman standing at a podium. She then started speaking Japanese. "Hey Naruto. I see that your friend decided to get out of bed."

"Hi, Tenten. Just came to get a little breakfast. Then we're going to the beach!" Naruto said to her.

She turned to Sasuke. "I'm Tenten. What's your name?"

Sasuke coldly introduced himself and jumped back to Naruto. In English, he hissed, "The beach? I didn't agree to that."

"We're going to have fun together," Naruto mouthed as if he understood what the raven said.

Tenten kept smiling and offered them a table. Sasuke noticed how she seemed to like Naruto so much. He didn't see himself having feelings for the blonde, but it irked him a little to see someone else act as if they were flirting with him. Sasuke secretly assessed her head to toe. Her dark brown hair was pulled into tight twin buns. Silver bananas dangled from her earrings. Her blue dress had pink flowers and yellow kiwis in it. And her feet were strapped into platform flip-flops. Sasuke admired the lime-green polish on her toes. Even though the ensemble sounded ridiculously tacky, it suited her.

They continued to talk in their native tongue as she escorted them to the top tier.

"…and right now they're serving breakfast and lunch—brunch. You can eat pizza, ice cream, eggs, pancakes, and sausage…" She rambled on naming more foods. "Enjoy the top floor."

Naruto waved her goodbye. Sasuke rolled his eyes, looking for a good place to start loading his plate.

"See? I told you I didn't need your translation services. Plenty of Asian babes here, teme."

Sasuke stormed off through the aloha-clad crowd in search of some fish to put in his growling stomach. On the way, he passed a table full of native Hawaiian food. He noticed how similar the foods looked to the stuff people ate back at home. He grabbed himself a plate and decided to take in some grilled salmon, some maki sushi, and a few pear halves and went back to his table.

Naruto was already sitting down, chowing down on what looked like ramen-crust pizza with every topping imaginable. Besides that plate was a platter topped with eggs, blueberry pancakes bleeding butter and syrup, a hearty cinnamon roll, and a saucer with greasy bacon slices lying next to chubby sausage links. There were two tall drinks sitting on the table as well—one blue, one a yellowish-green. They were both dressed up with fruit and little umbrellas.

"Waitress came by and you weren't here, so I picked a drink for you," the blonde said in between chews.

"Thanks, I guess," said Sasuke as he sat down. "So what's this drink called?"

Naruto swallowed a pepperoni chunk from his pizza. "I don't know English that well, but I think it's called something blue… Good thing the menu had pictures."

"Might be a Blue Hawaii." Sasuke took a deep sip from it, making his cheeks go pink. The sweet-sour flavour ran across his tongue and made him feel better. He put the possibility of the tasty drink being alcoholic aside and decided to have a carefree morning. "It's pretty good, Naruto. What about yours?"

The blonde sipped on his concoction and grimaced. "Ugh, it's gross. It doesn't have any sugar in it! Let me sip yours."

"Hell no! You ordered it, now suck it up, dobe." Sasuke went to work on his sushi and fish. He threw a glance at Naruto's plates and looked down at his. "Did you smoke some weed on the beach this morning?"

"Sasuke, you've seen me eat ten bowls of ramen before," he tucked away the last pizza slice and started on the pancakes. "And you're one to talk. You can eat that stuff at home you know."

The blonde was right. The food on Sasuke's plate was always available at the grocery stores back in Konoha. So the raven took his fork and bravely stabbed at the sausage and bacon.

"No fair!"

"Yes fair, dobe. I paid for this trip," teased Sasuke as he took a bite of a sausage. It tasted of maple syrup and spicy pepper. "I'm not a huge fan of greasy meat, but this isn't half bad." Sasuke took a napkin and wiped the grease from his lips.

Naruto sipped at his bitter drink. "You have no taste."

PCKAPA Ch4

After they finished up brunch, Naruto and Sasuke went to experience what Hawaii was known for—the beaches. It wasn't as crowded as they expected, but it wasn't so vacant either. There were plenty of colourful umbrellas lining the sandy shore. Beach-goers laid themselves out on towels, and far off out to sea, surfers were catching tasty blue waves. Near the hotel were a few beach-side shops with good items to offer at wildly expensive prices. Sasuke sucked in his breath and spared a few dollars to buy two kites since there was a decent wind blowing in from the Pacific. Naruto poked fun of Sasuke's pale skin and picked up a bottle with a picture of a smiling sun and strawberry wearing shades. He put two and two together and guessed that it was strawberry sunscreen.

"I don't want you to burn up, teme. And I don't want you to stay pale either. Maybe you'll get a tan while you're out here," the blonde teased.

Sasuke snatched the bottle along with an umbrella and two towels so he and Naruto didn't have to share. Then the blonde allowed something to catch his eye.

"Hey Sasuke, they're selling kites."

The raven rolled his eyes. "No dobe. Not paying for those."

The white-haired cashier noticed the situation. "Hey man, those kites are half-priced today. Hard to pass up a two-for one deal," he told him in a laid-back manner. He started to twirl his pucca shell necklace with his finger. He reminded him so much of Suigetsu, but that couldn't be him. Could it?

Sasuke looked back at Naruto, who was now sporting a pathetic puppy-dog pout with wide eyes.

"Fine. Get me that bat one while you're at it."

Cheerfully, Naruto picked out an orange box kite for himself and grabbed the one with bat wings for Sasuke.

The cashier flashed Sasuke a lazy, pointy-teethed grin. "Good choice, man. That'll be all? Okay, that's fifteen dollars and fifty cents."

Sasuke reluctantly pulled out a few awkward green banknotes and paid for their things.

They walked away from the shops to find a decent spot on the beach. When they did, Naruto laid out their towels while Sasuke set up the umbrella. Naruto stretched himself out and gazed out to sea.

"You know what Sasuke?" said Naruto. "Hawaii isn't that bad of a country. I'm thinking about staying here."

Sasuke popped open his bottle of sunscreen and slathered some on his arms. "Good for you. I can leave you here and not have to worry about you coming back to Japan. But Hawaii's a state, not a country. It used to be though."

Naruto shrugged off those comments and switched to watching Sasuke dress himself with sunscreen. As he worked the lotion over the rest of his body, the raven looked as if he had issues putting on his back.

"Need help, teme?"

"No! I can do it myself!" Sasuke snapped.

Ignoring his friend, Naruto squirted the pink lotion into his palm and rubbed some on Sasuke's back. The raven relished the sensation of Naruto's hands rubbing the cool lotion on his skin.

Naruto put his lips to his ear and asked him in a whisper, "Do you like what I'm doing, Sasuke?"

Sasuke moved away from Naruto's touch. "Stop it. People are watching us."

"But you still have a lot left on your back," the blonde said. Then his lips twisted into a smirk. "You can rub that on me…" He gently dabbed a little on the tip of Sasuke's nose, making Sasuke's cheeks go pink.

"You know you want too," the blonde cooed.

Sasuke didn't want to seem as if he were coming onto Naruto, but now it felt like Naruto was coming onto him! He was sure he hadn't told Naruto he was gay, but it appeared that there were a few clues thrown here and there. Sasuke quickly decided to take the chance even though Naruto was constantly pissing him off and they've only been in Hawaii for a day.

He gave blonde the okay. The blonde slowly rubbed his hands over his back to get off the excess lotion and rubbed his coated hands on his own chest. He brushed his hands over the trail of paw prints and the swirl over his belly button. His deep blue eyes leered at Sasuke lustfully as his tongue darted between his lips. "Come at me," he mouthed.

Sasuke squirted a little more sunscreen in his hand and slid his hands up and down Naruto's chest and stomach. The blonde laid back onto his beach towel to let Sasuke get to work. He wasn't buff, but he was toned and blessed with a little muscle. The raven took his finger and traced the paw prints to Naruto's nipples, which were both standing at attention.

"Oh, Sasuke…" Naruto giggled.

The raven spread the lotion to Naruto's right arm, taking time to admire the tattoos he had collected on it. He stroked his hand over the kanji for steel, a pair of chopsticks crossed over a slice of fishcake with a red swirl in the middle, a pair green anime eyes, and a dark blue hibiscus flower missing its centre. He did the same for the other arm, rubbing lotion over a pair of black bullhorns, a haiku in kanji, and flames down to his wrist.

Sasuke stared into his eyes as he held his hand to his face and brushed it with the tip of his nose. He leaned down and put his face close to Naruto's.

"What is it, Sasuke?" Naruto asked. "Had enough foreplay?" The blonde tapped a toe on Sasuke's growing bulge. His lips were inching closer and closer to Sasuke's, but the raven pulled away.

In a playful way, Sasuke squeezed Naruto's hand tightly, which made him yelp in pain.

"You know you wanted that, teme!" Naruto hissed. Sasuke's cheeks were now red, and he was sporting a grin.

The wind picked up, making their kites tumble away from their towels. Sasuke caught hold of their spools and reeled them back in.

"I'm pretty sure that box you picked won't even get off the ground," Sasuke said.

Naruto sat himself up and grabbed his kite. "Wanna bet?"

"What do you wager?"

Naruto cocked his head to the side in a moment of thought. Then he had it. "If my kite flies, you have to get a tattoo of my choosing. If it doesn't, I won't bother you anymore on this vacation."

Sasuke was sure the odds would be in his favour. "Deal, dobe."

They walked to a clear spot down the shore where there was no chance of anything getting in the way of their kite flying wager. Sasuke unwound the spool of his bat-shaped kite and began to run. The blond started a jog, and a gust of wind went under his kite.

"It's flying a helluva lot higher than yours, Sasuke!" Naruto cheered.

Then the wind took a turn and blew Naruto's kite into Sasuke's, making the box swallow the bat.

Sasuke accepted his defeat, but he hoped Naruto doesn't hold the tattoo issue over his head. "Okay, you win. Just please don't pick a stupid tattoo. And least let me pick where it goes."

The kites were picked up, and they went back under their umbrella.

"Could you get me some shaved ice, Sasuke? It's hot out here."

Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Don't push it dobe." He got up and walked toward the shops again. There wasn't much of a line, so he gladly pulled out his wallet and asked for two deluxe shaved ice cones. He watched as the woman pack some vanilla ice cream in a plastic cone with some dark beans and tossed a scoop of powdery shaved ice on top of it all. She then squirted every colour in the flavour rainbow onto the ice. When she finished the second one, she jabbed a spoon in both cones. Sasuke paid and went on his way.

When he came back with the shaved ice, Sasuke saw Naruto sitting with another guy under their umbrella. It was the cashier from the beach supply shop. He obviously didn't speak Japanese since he was playing charades with Naruto. The white-haired guy was making eyes with Naruto and touching his cheeks with an affectionate hand. He seemed to be complimenting Naruto's tattoos while he was at it. Then Sasuke saw him take out a pen and scribble on his hand.

"Suigetsu! What the hell do you think you're doing?!" Sasuke shouted in Japanese so few people could understand. "You let me catch you banging my ex-girlfriend, now this?" Some sunbathing girls in bikinis snapped in his direction to see what the commotion was about. A fat man was so startled that he dropped his ice cream on the sidewalk.

Shaking in his clothes, the white-haired guy backed away from Naruto. "Who the hell is Suigetsu? My name is Keanu and I've never set foot in Japan! Didn't know this guy was your boyfriend, man. Sorry."

"He's not my boyfriend!" Sasuke apologised to Keanu and gave Naruto his shaved ice. Keanu waved Naruto a goodbye and walked toward the boardwalk.

Sasuke sat down next to Naruto and feverishly licked the blueberry part of his shaved ice.

"Sasuke, why did you yell at that guy? He was just being nice," Naruto asked, his voice drenched with concern. "And what do you mean Suigetsu slept with Sakura?"

The raven gazed out to sea. "Don't worry about that, Naruto. We're here to vacation, not stress."
