Disclaimer: Naruto belongs to Masashi Kishimoto and I only borrow his characters to write down the smut I've conjured up in my pervy mind.

Pairings: SasNar which is SasuNaru/NaruSasu whichever way you see it

Warnings: M (finally right? Haha), language, not Beta-ed!

A/N: Thank you to those that have followed, favourited and reviewed! Holy ramen, I was not expecting so many of you to enjoy this! *bows* I'm sorry it took so long for me to update! The manga ended (all beautiful 699 chapters *sobs*) but the fanfic they added in the end was so horrible and well, I got a little depressed and frustrated that Kishi basically offed my original idea so I sat down and wrote a new action plan! Whoo! But ah, sorry this chapter took time to update but, but, it's longer! I mean, it was originally even longer than this but I cut it down and will use that material for the next chapter! But I wanna ask if the length of this chapter is ok? Emelie says that it's fine but a part of me is still wondering if I can continually produce 15 paged chapters each time hahaha I'm not very confident in my skills as a writer, I'm afraid... But, ah, on with the chapter! Please enjoy!

For Eva, Happy Birthday 3

Chapter 2: Dreams

x-X-x

Naruto sighed and hugged his pillow tighter, trying to bury his face in the soft feathers as orange light started to filter through his thin curtains when dawn started to break. He didn't want to get up yet. It's his day off, damn it, he's entitled to wake up late. He flipped himself on his side so he could shy away from the creeping light and let out a soft breath. Much better. Now to make his brain stop thinking so he can drift back to dreamland. A few moments passed and his breath evened out, echoing throughout the studio apartment. The kitchen clock ticked quietly, curtains fluttered as the wind blew. There was a shuffle and Naruto scratched his arm before letting out a loud snort. It was peaceful once more.

A finger traced itself along the large spiral pattern on the back on Naruto's pyjamas, the caress was soft as to not disturb the blond's slumber. From the outer swirl, the finger followed the black threaded etch slowly, the dry finger pad occasionally catching on the stitching, until it reached the centre in the middle of Naruto's back. The finger lingered there for a while before making it made in the opposite direction, following the spiral till it reached the outer end again.

Naruto gave a loud grunt when a cold hand pressed itself onto his bare stomach, face slightly scrunched up at the sudden change of temperature but he relaxed once more and purred when the arm wrapped around him pulled him back towards a warm hard chest. He was encased in warmth and that was fine by him. Every so often, he would mutter out a muddled sentence on ramen and subconsciously wipe the trail of drool that was slowly making its way onto his pillow. He snuggled closer to the warmth, sighing when the arm tightened slightly around him. There was a slight rustle of fabric and a soft clunk but the room returned to its quiet state again soon after.

It was 10 a.m. That's what Naruto's biological clock told him when he floated into semi-consciousness. He knew he should get up, but… Not bothering to stifle a yawn, he tried once more to fall back to sleep. Pulling his legs closer to his chest, he waited for his mind to lose focus again. There was a small movement and his suddenly hypersensitive hearing heard the crunch of his blanket as it was pulled up higher, despite his drowsiness. He groaned internally. Why the fuck do the little things annoy you when you try to get some shut eye? He forced his eyes to close tighter, trying to block out all the sounds that seemed to annoy him at the moment. Hell, the drip from the kitchen faucet was starting to sound like a fucking bomb was being dropped. Damn it. He was never going to wind down at this rate.

He felt the pillow he was laying his head on dip, the crackle from the pillowcase making him wince. The soft pressure on his scalp eased some of the tension though and he let out a pleased sigh, relaxing once more. It continued like that for a while, letting those talented fingers massage him till he was no more than putty. The soft rhythmic thumps lulled him and for some reason, his own tried to match it and keep the beat in sync. Naruto hummed. Now this is what he calls a perfect day off.

Caught a little off guard, his breath hitched when the hand on his chest slowly started to slide lower towards the waistband of his pants, lithe fingers caressing the coarse corn curls just above the cottony material. A pair of lips planted itself on the joint between his neck and shoulder, making Naruto grip his pillow tightly. No, no… Not yet. Those fingers pulled on the bow of his drawstring, the action slow and deliberate, whether teasing or simply hesitant, Naruto wasn't really certain. Squeezing his cerulean eyes tighter, he held in his breath, afraid the whimper he might let out would break the spell. A finger wriggled its way past the waistband, inching lower, lower… Naruto gradually breathed through his nose. Please, oh please…

Blue eyes snapped open when a low chuckle rumbled in his ear, the arm around his torso pulling him closer to the warmth behind him, fingers nowhere near where he wanted them to be and his pants were loose. Damn it! He groaned and tried to suffocate himself with the pillow in his hand. "Sasuke, you asshole…" came the muffled groan. The raven ignored the comment and proceeded to kiss the hollow of the tan neck. "Fucking tease!" Naruto turned around sharply, not at all sorry when he elbowed Sasuke. "You knew I had that awesome ramen dream again but you couldn't help yourself now, could you?" he growled, throwing a glare over his shoulder.

The corner of Sasuke's lip twitched into a small sneer. "And what, pray tell, have I done to make you such a morning grump?" Those fingers went back to massaging the blond's scalp. He wasn't playing fair at all but Naruto wouldn't fall for his tricks. But those hands are so damn talented!

"Bastard," Naruto cursed when he nearly released a soft groan at the feel of Sasuke fingers running up and down his abs. "You pulled me away from my perfect dream then deny me of what I want when I finally wake up!" his voice a mixture between a grunt and a whine.

The smirk grew. Fucking bastard. "Oh?" Sasuke drawled. "And what is it that you want?" he asked languidly, both hands petting him simultaneously on his corn silk hair and toned stomach. His thin lips enclosed on an earlobe before giving it a long lick, earning him a shudder.

Naruto was trying to stay focused, had tried to keep that glare in place but Sasuke was excellent in many things, including turning the poor blond into a whimpering mess. "Nhnn…" That was unintentional, really. "Teme…" Naruto gritted out when a pale hand decided to slip his pants past his hips, fingers brushing on the protruding bone, admiring the silkiness of the skin. "Fuck."

Sasuke let out a breathy laugh, the warm air tickling Naruto's cheek as he pressed himself closer to his lover. "You want to fuck, is that it?" he asked, voice husky and it wasn't because he just woke up, either. He nuzzled the soft baby hairs at the nape of the blond's neck, inhaling the sweet male musk of his dobe.

He could feel the heat spread up his neck and cheeks, turning his ears pink. His breath was short, heart beating like a galloping stallion. Is this really what the loud-mouthed, future Hokage was reduced to? To be under the Uchiha's mercy? No fucking chance. Deciding to take matters in his own hands, albeit strained, he released his grip on the pillow and grabbed the pale hand running up and down his thigh. Yanking the hand out of his sleeping trousers, Naruto forced himself back against the raven, making him fall on his back and he turned abruptly, hooking his leg over Sasuke's thigh.

Sasuke was not surprised to see Naruto grinning triumphantly down at him. He would be more surprised if he didn't, to be honest. Both hands settled on his bare hips, the intimate contact making him shiver slightly. The grey pants, caught by the curvature of that tan ass were halfway down Naruto's thigh. Sasuke wetted his lips. Dark eyes dragged upwards towards the beaming idiot. "Well?" he asked, referring to his previous question. "What say you?" He rolled his hips once, making Naruto fall forward, groaning. He smirked at this, watching as Naruto tried to compose himself once more.

Planting both hands on Sasuke's bare chest, Naruto lifted his head slowly, the glare not fully heated as he'd like it to be as his eyes were starting to fog up. "Bastard," he cursed again. Sitting up once more, he wiggled a little to adjust himself and the tick under the Uchiha's eye did not go unnoticed. "Oh, I don't know, teme… You really think that's a good idea?" he asked as he rocked himself forward, shuddering at how good it felt.

Sasuke had to bite his tongue to suppress the moan that was trying to force its way out of his throat. Two can play this game. Reaching his hands over Naruto's back, he groped that taut ass, sliding the pants down while he's at it. "I do have a mission in the afternoon…" he dragged out the statement as if he was contemplating it. "Maybe we shouldn't?" Pushing him forward, so that their still clothed erections were pressed against each other, he grinded himself against the blond, not bothering to conceal the sharp gasp.

Naruto was panting and he clawed at the pale skin below him, leaving pink and raised scratches in its wake. Sasuke kept rocking in that slow even pace that had him roll his eyes back. "Ughh…Sasuke…" He squeezed his cerulean eyes shut. "I'll fucking kill you if you chicken out now," he growled.

"Hn. Who says I'm chickening out?" He let his fingers dig into Naruto's butt cheeks, pushing him down as he ground his hips up. This made the blond above him cry out loudly. He himself was not fairing very well, sweat making his hair stick to the back of his neck by their activities and his breath was laboured. But he wanted more. Pushing himself up by the elbows, he leaned in kiss to Naruto's strong jaw, pecking his way to his ear. "Take them off, dobe…"

Oh, fuck. Why does this goddamn Uchiha have such a fucking sexy voice? He couldn't deny him now when he had asked him that way. He just nodded dumbly but since their rubbing did not cease, he only placed his hands on those strong shoulders and tried to get more friction. Sasuke grunted, sounding both annoyed and strained at the same time. "I…" Naruto sucked in a breath when Sasuke increased his thrusts. "I-I can't if you keep distracting me, teme!" he snapped, hitting him on the chest.

It took a large effort in Sasuke's part to stop the movement of his hips. Taking in deep breaths, he released his grip on the blond and leaned back on his propped elbows. "Hurry," he urged, those dark eyes glinting with lust as he looked at how beautiful his Naruto is.

Naruto swallowed with difficulty at the look Sasuke was sending him and pulled away to get his sleeping garment off. Cussing when the pants decided to hook itself around his ankles, he tugged them off harshly. With that out of the way, his shirt was the next to go but somehow he was back in the same position, straddling Sasuke, their heated groins reacquainted.

Sasuke was never really a patient man, especially when it came to Naruto. Grabbing the Uzumaki's wrist, he pulled him down to him. He surged forward, attacking that golden neck with little nips, hands sliding up a muscular back under the cotton. He began thrusting again, relishing the contact he was getting between their cocks.

Naruto's hands were still on the hem of his shirt, about to pull it off when Sasuke began rocking against him. His brain began malfunctioning at that point, willingly letting the Uchiha hump him to oblivion. "Oh, fuck, Sasuke…" Naruto moaned, arching his back and thus pressing his length harder against his.

"You like that?" he asked breathily in his ear. Fucking holy ramen, is he going to start dirty talking?

"Sasuke," Naruto gasped, trying not to succumb to the tight coil in his stomach. "S-Shirt…"

Sasuke cut him off with a low growl. "Leave it." He licked off the bead of sweat running down the column of the blond's neck. Seeing how Naruto's hands have shifted to the waistband of his deep purple boxers, he gave a snarl to stop the man from voicing another protest. "Leave it!" He bit on Naruto's shoulder hard for emphasis, sure to leave teeth marks.

"Ahhh!" Naruto arched, bucking his hips wildly. "Shit, Sasuke…" He loved it when Sasuke got rough. So he can be a little kinky, sue him. The low timbre of Sasuke's dark chuckle went straight to his cock. Pulling the Uchiha by the hair framing his face, he smashed their lips together. He kissed him hard and rough, Sasuke's issues with morning breath be damned!

At first, Sasuke cringed, not really enjoying their kiss as much as he should have. The idiot knew how much he hated kissing too soon after waking up but all thoughts went out the window when Naruto snaked a hand to his covered erection, pushing aside the overlapping cloth so he could pull it out from the fly. He tilted his head back when Naruto gripped his heat firmly, effectively cutting their kiss. "N-Naruto…" His hands slithered down his back to grope his ass again.

Naruto gave Sasuke's cock a few light squeezes, watching in a daze at how Sasuke's stoic mask finally shatters. His face was flushed, mouth slightly open as he pants, dark eyes now mere slits. He loves this look on Sasuke because only he gets to see him like this. Only he is able to make Sasuke look so wanton and desperate. It's so fucking sexy. His other hand moved to fondle his balls, lightly bouncing them with two fingers.

Sasuke pulled him by the collar of his orange shirt, thrusting his tongue in without an invitation, not that Naruto would have minded, into the Uzumaki's hot mouth. His thoughts on how repulsive morning breath could be was long forgotten as he licked every inch of the moist cavern he could reach. He moaned into Naruto's mouth as the blond began stroking him faster. He pulled away from their kiss with a wet smack, hands now gripping on those short blond tresses. "Yeah," he breathed into Naruto's ear, eyes closed from the pleasure of Naruto's tugs. "Like that…"

Fuck, he really did it now. Sasuke's sin silk voice urging him on, Naruto was more motivated to pleasure this man, to bring him to completion, even when his own problem was greedily rubbing against the other's boxer covered crotch. He twisted and pulled, enjoying the little sounds Sasuke lets out into his ear. It's such a turn on. He felt the coil tighten more at the pit of his stomach from Sasuke's cries alone. Leaning in, he licked on one of Sasuke's hardened nubs, causing the raven to let out a strangled whine.

"Ah, N-Naru!" Sasuke choked out, his back arching from the assault of the wet tongue, fingers pulling on his sunshine hair painfully. He bit his lip, trying to contain the embarrassing moans he was letting out, but Naruto was not having any of that. When the blond latched his mouth onto his other nipple and started suckling, he almost lost it and pulled him away by his short hair roughly. "Stop!"

Naruto did not bother to hide the disappointed pout from his face. The fists that had yanked him away from Sasuke's body was keeping his head tilted back. The hand on Sasuke's length had abruptly stopped their pumping when he heard the commanding yet broken tone of the Uchiha's voice. He watched as Sasuke breathed heavily through his mouth, obsidian eyes squeezed shut, pale body glazed with sweat, trying, trying so desperately to keep himself from exploding right then and there. His cock jumped at what a hot mess Sasuke looked like right now. He knew Sasuke was close, if the throbbing cock in his hand was anything to go by. His frowned deepened. He really wanted to get him off.

Seemingly under control now, Sasuke took his hands away from Naruto's hair and let the last shiver roll off from his body. Straightening himself, he faced Naruto with murderous eyes. Getting a firm hold on Naruto's wrist, he tore that hand away from his length, hissing sharply at his still sensitised skin. "Look here, dobe," he growled, effectively wiping that pout off Naruto's face. "We're going to do this right, you hear?" He brought Naruto's wrist to his face and poked out a pink tongue. Dark eyes holding Naruto's attention, he gave the man's thumb, which had a few dollops of his own pre-cum, a slow languid lick.

Naruto swallowed with difficulty, eyes still locked with Sasuke's smouldering ones. He seemed to have lost the ability of speech, so he just bobbed his head up and down slowly in agreement with Sasuke's terms. He doubt anything coherent would tumble out of his mouth if he had opened it. He was rewarded with the small quirk at the corner of those slightly swollen lips. He found that his member, which had lost a bit of his gusto when Sasuke had yelled, was brushing against those purple boxers again. Well fuck. Doesn't Sasuke just look hot with that smirk on his face?

Dark eyes looked down at the hardness that was poking his crotch. "Hn," Wrapping his own fingers around Naruto's hot flesh, he watched as those blue eyes glaze over. "Your hands don't go anywhere near my cock, understand?" Just so he won't hear any complaints, he swiped his thumb over the swollen head.

"Yes! Oh, fuck, Sasuke!" Naruto screamed, not entirely sure if he was answering the raven or if it was pleasure induced nonsense but his other hand clutched the bedspread tightly, his body obeying the man's order. This earned him a slow pace from that talented hand with the occasional hard pull that had him writhing. He gritted his teeth as he peeked at him through his blond lashes, watched as the smirk widened dangerously.

Sasuke chuckled again, pleased to have the blond at his mercy once more. "Good boy," he whispered and lightly pecked a whiskered cheek. He moved down to lick the expanse of the bronze collarbone, tasting the saltiness of the skin. He eyed the hand buried in the sheets, knuckles turned white at his expense. "You can touch me everywhere else," he offered and almost immediately the hand shot up to grab him by the back of his neck. Sasuke hummed in approval, even when fingers twisted at hairs on the nape of his neck. He kissed his way to the blond's shoulder, nudging the fabric away with his nose, feeling Naruto's hot breath blow some of his raven strands away from his face.

"Teme…" Naruto ground out when Sasuke sucked on a tender patch of skin. It felt really good, the bastard probably memorised all his erogenous zones by now, fuck. He let out a hot breath when Sasuke's pace picked up, shuddering when another hand joined in to caress the wrinkled skin of his sac. "Oh, S'ke…" he moaned, arching so they were chest to chest. "More," he bit out.

The request was ignored and he only kissed his way back up to the blond's neck, determined to leave red welts all over that honeyed skin. "So demanding," he huffed and licked a tendon before sinking perfect teeth into the skin. A hand travelled across the Grecian warrior-like body, running them along those hard muscles, the fabric of the orange shirt was thin enough for Sasuke to feel them through. He let out a long hiss when a finger decided to play with his exposed nipple. Grabbing a fistful of blond locks, he yanked Naruto's head to the side so he could have more skin to work with, and maybe just a smidgen of payback.

Naruto winced but just like before, Sasuke's fingers soothed his scalp with gentle strokes. It's a wonder how he could do so many things at once. Then again, this is Sasuke. As much as he was liking the way Sasuke was pampering him right now, he'd like it more if Sasuke shook off this gentle boyfriend persona and just make him cum already. "Come on, S'ke…" he whined, the finger sliding down sensually towards Sasuke's happy trail.

Pulling back, Sasuke casted a glare in the blond's direction, his hand gripping the member tightly as a warning but Naruto smiled sheepishly at him, fingers just brushing against the wiry hair, not daring to disobey the raven's demand. Sasuke tilted his head to the side to give him another one of his smirks. "Kiss me."

Both hands moved to cup Sasuke's face. Releasing a breath at the thought of how perfect his life was right now, Naruto dove in to capture those lips in a slow kiss. Sasuke's hand started moving again, steadily gaining speed and Naruto all but sighed. He pulled his love forward, deepening their kiss, tongues lapping at each other. The other pulled his hair again but it didn't matter because the pain was dulling out into pleasure at how hot they were sucking each other's faces. His hips rocked to the rhythm of Sasuke's pumps, panting harshly into the Uchiha's mouth. "Hngh… Sas- HOLY FUCKING RAMEN!" he suddenly cried out, throwing his head back.

"Mmm…" Sasuke licked away a trail of their mixed saliva on his reddened lips. He purred as he watched the blond's body dance in a pleasured frenzy when he started rubbing the sensitive heads of their cocks mercilessly with one another, clear fluids coming out in short spurts to aid him. Unable to stop himself, his hips jerked out of rhythm but he gripped their members firmly in his hand to allow more contact between them. "Dobe…" He pulled Naruto's face to his again.

Naruto was aware of the gibberish that was pouring out of his mouth. He felt Sasuke's hot breath fanning over his face and the rivulets of sweat between his eyebrows. His vision was of white lights and a part of Sasuke's ruffled hair. Harsh pants and the thunderous thumps of his heart were loud in his ears but he was more attuned to what Sasuke was mouthing into his ear.

"You like this, huh, usuratonkachi..?" the raven asked, giving their members a twist of his hand when the blond did not respond. He sneered when the blond screamed the affirmative, gripping the Uchiha's shoulders for stability. "You want this," he rimmed the shell of his ear with a wicked tongue, picking speed.

A sob broke from the blond as he pushed their heated bodies together, his frame quaking from the intense heat and immense pressure. "I want it…" A cracked whisper of a voice, he hooked his arms around those strong shoulders, trying to bring this man closer to him. It wasn't enough… "I want it," he repeated, eyes hot.

Sasuke flicked a tongue on an earlobe before speaking again. "You," he paused to suck the tender lobe, wetting it and releasing it with a soft pop to continue. "You want us like this." He held the blond tighter as their bodies shook harder.

"I-I do," said Naruto shakily, the hot tears plopping on the back of Sasuke's neck. "I w-want…" He cut himself off, words stuck at the back of his throat as his body was preparing to implode.

"You want us." Sasuke clarified. Like Naruto, he was close, his hand bringing them nearer and nearer to the edge, rhythm gone. Dark brows knitted together, trying to hold it all in as Naruto trembled in his arms.

Naruto nodded, crying now. "I want you with me." He inhaled sharply. Not yet, not yet… He clutched Sasuke tighter to him. He wanted to feel him. More, more. He needed to make sure he's there. That he exists. "Sasuke…"

Sasuke gave a tender kiss just above his frantic pulse. "Usuratonkachi," he called out breathlessly. "Cum for me."

x-X-x

Groggy eyes tried to register where he was at the moment. Blinking a few more times, Naruto turned his head to the side. He bit his lip, extending his arm to the empty space, patting the sheets before running his hand over them to smooth it out. He let out a soft sigh, his eyes closing again. Taking a few deep breaths, he sat up, rubbing away the dried tears crusting his eyelashes together. Pulling the covers off, he swivelled, grunting at the discomfort between his legs. With blond eyebrows furrowed, he rested his elbows on his knees, burying his face in his palms.

After a few more deep breaths, Naruto stood, legs spread wider than usual as he trotted to his bathroom. The soft screech of the faucet echoed in the small bathroom and he routinely picked up his toothbrush to start his day. Afterwards, Naruto splashed the cool water over his face. He cut the water off and leaned his hands on the cool tiled counter to look at himself in the mirror. The blond hair was tousled from sleep and Naruto gave his mirror image a lopsided smile.

He turned his head to the opened bathroom door and glanced at his bed again, the sheets on the other side was left undisturbed and he sighed, the corner of his lips tugged down. Focusing at the matter at hand, his pants, he slipped them off, cringing at how sticky they were. "Ugh," He stuck a tongue out distastefully and threw the grey sleeping garment into the sink, running the water over the soiled front. "So gross," he muttered to himself.

Wringing the pants dry one last time, he tossed the twisted garment to his laundry pile, already overflowing from the basket. He clicked his tongue at that. Man, he really need to wash those or else he'll end up without clothes. He already had to substitute his only sleeping trousers for boxers last night, since he didn't have any clean ones. Pulling his shirt over his head, he gave it a sniff before placing it on one of the plastic hooks on the walls. It's still good for tonight. Stepping into his shower, he twisted the knob and proceeded to lather himself up.

Drying himself off with a fluffy white towel, he needed to wash this too damn, he walked back to his bedroom. While using one hand to rub the towel against his wet hair, his other hand, which was many a shade paler than his own skin, searched for something he can wear for today. Settling for a pair of pair of black shorts and an old orange hoodie, he threw them on quickly, the growling of his stomach reminding him of what to do next for the day.

Tossing the towel over his shoulder, he'll pick it up later when doing laundry, he rushed to the kitchen, mind temporarily taken over at the thought of consuming his beloved ramen. He rummaged through his stash of ramen cups, pulling out one that caught his eye and held it over his head with both hands, grinning with joy, eyes sparkling. It's the holy grail of ramen cups! Cerulean blue eyes clouded when his mind registered what flavour he had pulled out, his mouth now a thin line. Nevertheless, he pushed the drawer shut with his leg and pressed the button on his electric kettle.

He tore at the flimsy plastic enveloping the cup and threw it into the kitchen wastebasket, grabbing a pair of chopsticks as he made his way to the dining table. Leaning back on his seat, he turned the cup in his hands, reading the labels with a sullen expression. He jumped to his feet when he heard the small click from his kettle to retrieve it. After throwing in the seasoning and hydrated seaweed and narutomaki, he poured in the hot water. Setting his chopsticks on the cup so the lid remained closed, he started the small timer to begin the 3 minute countdown.

Naruto looked at the cup again, biting the inside of his cheek. It was the same flavour he and Sasuke had consumed the day he met up with his best friend after that one year gap. He could still remember how delicious it tasted, especially when he got to savour it from Sasuke's mouth. His tongue ran over slightly chapped lips at the memory and his thoughts quickly went to what had happened in his bed. The Uchiha's talented hands touching him, pulling on his hair and that wicked mouth and tongue teasing him. His velvety voice, panting in his ear, moaning, praising, saying his name like a prayer.

Ding!

Naruto stared down at the cup in front of him, ready to be devoured. Unclenching his fist, he picked up his chopsticks and lifted the lid, his nose assaulted by the heavenly scent of miso. Stirring the noodles with his chopsticks to distribute everything, he was ready to shove the piping hot noodles into his mouth but something held him back. Closing his eyes, he let it finally hit him, a sad smile gracing his lips.

"A dream, huh?"

x-X-x

Hitching the backpack higher up his shoulders, Naruto smiled when the saw the rice fields just outside the tiny village. He had come across this place during his travels with the late pervy sage all those years ago. It definitely wasn't large enough to have its own bath house, the picture of how sad the pervy sage was when he found out that little bit still gave him the giggles, but it's a good place to rest their weary feet and restock on supplies. Located just outside of the border of the land of Fire, it might be a little while before he'll have to restock again if he were to travel such long distances. However, that wasn't the case right now, he only has to travel for a day or two more.

"You look more handsome each time you visit, boy." An elderly woman greeted him, waving.

A bubble of laughter escaped his throat and he was absolutely beaming as approached the woman's booth. "It's nice to see you again, baachan!" He crouched to the woman's level and let her cup his face. "How are you?" he asked gently, eyes darting across her tiny form. The last time he had visited, she was coughing violently but insisted that it was because she had stayed the night up playing cards with the ladies.

"Good," she answered him, patting his tan whiskered cheek. "Don't look at me that way, boy, I still have some fight left in me. I'm not that old, you know." Her lips formed a slight frown.

Naruto chuckled and raised both his hands up in defence. "I'm not saying that you are, baachan." He sweated a little, nervous as he knows just how sensitive women in general are about their age and how violent they tend to get. "I bet you still have someone chasing after you."

The woman laughed. "Ever the flatterer," she said and patted the seat next to her in invitation. "But I swear old man Tanaka still has the hots for me," she continued in a hushed voice, a hand cupped next to her mouth before laughing once more. Naruto sat next to her nodding in agreement and peered at the table, displaying her merchandise. "I take it you're going to visit your friend?" she asked in a knowing tone.

Naruto perked up and nodded enthusiastically. "Mhmm! I wanted to get them something nice this time too, it's going to be a special day."

She bit on the nail of her thumb, thinking. "This girl you're visiting sure is lucky, I hope she treats you well."

Naruto turned cherry red. "A-ah, it's…it's not like that at all!" He laughed nervously, rubbing the back of his neck, but continued, "This person is very special to me and I know they think the very same towards me as well." His smile was soft as his thoughts drifted to Sasuke.

"I expect nothing less from young love," she hummed, a wrinkled hand hovering over her goods. "I'm sure she's very beautiful so what do you think about this hairpin?" she asked, holding up the item in question.

He almost choked on his spit at the mental image his mind supplied him. "E-eh?" The blond was torn between actually buying it for laughs or declining, because let's face it, Sasuke does have the hair and looks to pull it off but then again, he knew he would get an earful from the raven and maybe a chidori to the face. "Ah, they're not the type to wear such fancy things," he reasoned but he had to admit that the hairpin would go well with Sasuke's hair and skin colour. He scanned the table for something else and when he did, he uttered, "Perfect."

x-X-x

Naruto ended up spending a good part of the afternoon with the old woman, talking about random things over tea and some dried squid. She even gave him some to take to Sasuke. His pace quickened when he suddenly felt the pull of Sasuke calling him. He couldn't understand nor explain it. It was very much like the first time he felt it, Sasuke's call. He was at Ichiraku's at the time, eating dinner with Konohamaru and his little gang and he very nearly knocked his bowl from the counter when he whipped his head back as he felt it.

It wasn't anything physical like hearing Sasuke shout his name from a distance or anything, nor did he have psychic episodes of the raven coming into his dreams telling him when and where to meet. Nope, nothing like that at all. He just feels Sasuke. He feels the yearning to meet up with him, it tugged his heart and like a magnetic pull, it lead him to wherever the Uchiha was. Almost as if by instinct, he was drawn in to him.

Whenever they parted, they would never know when their next meeting would be or which location would be their meeting point. If that were the case, their second meeting would have been around the time of his birthday, or their "anniversary" as Naruto would teasingly call it. No, their second meeting had been earlier than planned, just a few months ago in fact, and this would be their third. Naruto smiled brightly at that.

He had gotten the feeling about a week ago, just when he had returned from a B-rank mission with Sai and Kiba, a little tingle in his chest, and had practically clamoured his way to the Hokage tower to ask for a few days off. The tingle eventually grew into some sort of attraction, an urgent need to leave the village and seek the man. It was just two days ago that he had stepped out of the village gates. With his second nature telling him to head towards Ame instead of Suna, Naruto's heart couldn't stop its erratic beating at the thought of seeing Sasuke again.

x-X-x

Naruto flinched at the sunlight that had hit his face but his eyelids remained closed. Just a few more minutes… He placed an arm on his forehead in an attempt to shield his face. Naruto knew he should be a little more guarded, instead of being so exposed like this, under a tree. He's a shinobi for ramen's sake. But meh, this part of the land he was currently in was considered trouble free but one can never be too sure, right? The offending light was suddenly gone as a shadow fell over him and normally Naruto would have jumped to his feet, yelling at the intruder, with a finger pointing rudely at them but not this time.

"Just how long are do you plan on lying there? Be a little more cautious, dobe."

Naruto had not budged but his lips did spread into a wide smile. "I have nothing to worry about, since you're watching over me, angel," he teased in a sing-song voice. "Oww, oww, oww! Not so hard, damn it, Sasuke!" Naruto howled, awake now and rubbing the sore patch on his shoulder where Sasuke had pinched him

"The fuck you calling a fucking angel, you moron," Sasuke seethed, face turned away from the blond, cheeks tinged pink. "Let's just go."

The blond looked over at the raven, looking slightly smug despite being reprimanded just mere moments ago. "Ne, ne, Sasuke, it's going to be a special day soon, huh?" he asked as he slid his arms through the straps of his backpack. "Do you have any special plans? Considering you called me all the way here and everything." He batted his lashes at him, rubbing their shoulders together in an attempt to get affectionate.

Sasuke just snorted, pushing him away. "What are you talking about? Don't just assume things, you usuratonkachi." He kept dark eyes away from cerulean ones and stood up, his back facing the blond.

"Aww, you don't have to be so shy!" Naruto wrapped his arms around the Uchiha's waist, resting his chin on a shoulder. "We can spend the day together, just you and me," Naruto continued, chortling when that earned him a grunt from the raven. Feeling mischievous, he dropped his voice a few octaves and whispered into Sasuke's ear, "We can even do something fun… Hey!" Naruto found himself on his butt, a short distance away from the man. "What's is your problem, bas- Sasuke!"

"Stay away!" Sasuke roared as Naruto clamoured to get back on his feet. "Don't come any closer!" he warned.

Naruto shook his head wildly, pushing himself up by the heel of his palm. "No, Sasuke!" His eyes stung, the image of Sasuke with a katana run through him being burned into mind, blood soaking the back of his hooded cloak. About to get up, his head was pushed down and an unidentified man hunkered over him, forcing him to the ground while another pulled the sword out and restrained Sasuke. "Sasuke! Don't touch him!" he barked at the man.

"Naruto," Sasuke called out weakly, lifting his face from the earth to face him with sad eyes. "A good birthday present would be for you to stay put and not get in trouble." Blood dribbled from his lips and Naruto struggled more in the man's hold.

"No! Sasuke!" the blond cried out frantically, watching helplessly as more men, wearing various headbands circled the raven. "Get away from him!" he screamed, "Sasuke did nothing wrong!" His voice cracked as he held back a sob when the men kicked and beat him, calling him a traitor, a murderer. "Don't!" Naruto clenched his fists; anger began to swirl in his stomach. "I said don't touch him!" He threw the man off him and scampered to Sasuke's side.

"Usuratonkachi…" Sasuke merely smiled at him as those blue eyes widened when Sasuke's own Kusanagi pierced through its master.

A sharp cry was ripped from his throat. "Sasuke!" Naruto felt pain bloom on his left side. Huh, did he get cut down too..? He couldn't move, was forced to watch the light slowly die out of Sasuke's obsidian eyes, his heart pounding painfully against his ribs as wide blue eyes zoned in to Sasuke's moving lips, struggling to give him his last message.

"Naru…to…" His whole body shook from fear and anger. Why did it have to be like this? Why did they have to kill his dream of them being together? Why? "Usura…ton…kachi…" He wanted…he just wanted this dream to last a little longer.

"WAKE UP, USURATONKACHI!"

Sucking in a deep breath, Naruto shot up from his position, eyes madly darting in every direction, trying to make sense of what just happened. His heart was still thundering but as he focused on Sasuke, who had a tight grip on his arm, he let the waves of relief wash over him. He's safe. It was all just a dream… He rubbed his cheek, eyes casted down as to not show Sasuke how distressed he had felt.

The raven donned an impassive expression but there was a slight crease between his eyes. Something was definitely wrong. Maybe he shouldn't have kicked his side to wake him? "Hey," he called for the blond's attention. "Did you get lost or something, dobe?" He knew that wasn't the case but he wanted to see how Naruto would react to that, seeming how he was completely out of it.

Naruto scratched his head, sneaking glances at what would be potential blind spots for a surprise attack. The thought of someone sneaking up on them was gnawing at his mind. "Uh, yeah. I guess?" He really wasn't paying attention to what Sasuke had asked, just trying to make sure the area was indeed safe as he first deemed it to be.

Dark eyes narrowed. "Naruto, look at me." Sasuke demanded, tugging the arm he was holding.

For some reason, Naruto wouldn't meet his eyes, the dream of his blank stare still haunting him. Instead, he looked in between his eyes where the crease had deepened in slight worry. "Don't want to have premature wrinkles, now," he joked, attempting to lighten the mood and ease the Uchiha's worries. "Even if your birthday is tomorrow," he laughed half-heartedly, pushing two fingers between his thin eyebrows to smooth it out.

Sasuke didn't slap the hand away like he usually would but his frown disappeared, replaced by a calculating look. "Come on, dobe," he said gently, tugging on the blond's arm again. "It'll rain soon." He helped him to his feet.

Naruto's heart fluttered a little at the thought of Sasuke being worried for him, even though he doesn't show it, but the little gestures he received from the stoic Uchiha were good enough for him. Putting his backpack on, he nodded at Sasuke to tell him that he was ready and followed him as he leapt onto one of the sturdy branches. He stared at the back, the horrible nightmare coming back to bite him, playing games with his eyes. Once or twice, he saw blood steep the poncho-like garment and he had to shake his head to get rid of the image.

Sasuke would occasionally glance over his shoulder to look at his best friend, wondering if it was alright to let the blond dobe travel aerially when his head was somewhere else. He clicked his tongue when the idiot's head nearly collided with an overhead branch. "Pay attention, usuratonkachi! We're not far." He turned his head to the front again and pushed forward. "I'll leave you behind if you go any slower," he muttered and nearly bit his tongue at Naruto's immediate response.

"Don't!" he cried out in a hurt voice and made a great leap so he was next to the raven. He clutched onto a part of his traveling robe, halting both of them from going further into the dense forest. Naruto didn't know which part of Sasuke's words really affected him but the thought of him not being there for Sasuke was still fresh in his mind. Sasuke was vulnerable out here and he'd be damned if Sasuke got hurt on his watch.

Sasuke regarded the shorter man with a mask of indifference but his obsidian eyes did flicker with emotion at the anguished look on Naruto's face. They didn't say anything and just stayed there for a moment. He could feel the anxiousness from the normally cheery blond. He wasn't sure what was running through that mind of his but he could sort of feel what it was likely about. "Hn," he pulled his cloak out of Naruto's clutches and tilted his head up in a smirk. "I was under the impression that you'll come after my ass either way."

Naruto's blue eyes blinked up at Sasuke, a little confused at first but when the statement finally registered, his face broke into a smile. "Yeah, you bet, teme!" He gave him the thumbs up, winking.

"Hn," With his lean legs, he pushed himself forward again, gaining momentum at each jump. "But can you even keep up, usuratonkachi?" he taunted, chuckling to himself as he distanced himself from the blond.

"I won't lose, teme!" Naruto called out after him and soon, he was hot on his trail, feeling much better. Sasuke knew how to comfort him, in his own way and for that he was grateful. He watched the man in front of him, grinning to himself. That's right, nothing like that would ever happen to Sasuke. Sasuke's a strong shinobi, not some damsel in distress that needs Naruto to always be there and protect him. The Uchiha can handle himself just fine. He's really smart too, smarter than he was willing to admit out loud. He wasn't called a genius in their genin years for nothing. Just like him, Sasuke also wouldn't go down without a fight. He was getting all worked up for nothing. He almost laughed at his own stupidity.

It had started pouring and Sasuke was eager to reach their destination so they could take shelter and dry off. He motioned for Naruto to pick up the pace and when they reached a familiar clearing, he hopped off from the branch, the wet grass making squishing noises as he walked to the entrance of the small hut. Not looking back, he entered but left the door open for Naruto. He needed to rid himself of these wet clothes. Tossing off his cloak and the cloth around his head, he ran his hand through his dripping hair. How he wished for a towel right about now, he really couldn't afford to get sick nowadays.

"Shitsureishimasu," Naruto greeted as he step foot inside, ignoring the snort Sasuke let out at his attempt to be polite. His eyes took in the details of the abandoned hut, not that there was anything to look at since it was bare, sans Sasuke's knapsack lying in one of the corners. The hut might have been used as a garden shed at some point, judging by the old rusted hoe and cobwebbed covered tools. He had slammed the door closed, rattling the small building and disturbing the dust and Sasuke clicked his tongue at how graceful he was being. Naruto rubbed his hands together in an attempt to get warm, the rain already soaked his clothes, chilling him to the bone.

He glanced over at Sasuke who had his back to him and was in the middle of peeling his shirt off. His lips quirked at seeing the man shirtless but his expression darkened when he saw the bandage wrapped around his ribs, a spot of blood on his right side. He lowered his head, fingers biting his palm as he balled his fists, leaving deep crescent marks. He was angry, so fucking angry. Sasuke wasn't supposed to get hurt. Not in fucking dreams, not ever! He made his way to the man.

"Oy, dumbass," Sasuke felt a vein tick near his temple in annoyance when those tan arms wrapped around him, his naked back coming in contact with the blond's wet clothes. He should at least take off his clothes first, the idiot. He pulled his shirt off the rest of the way, letting the wet material crumple to a heap at his feet.

Naruto only held him tighter, nuzzling the side of the man's pale neck and breathed in his scent. "Ne, Sasuke," his voice was soft, pleading, asking for the raven's permission. "Let me touch you…"

Let me feel you. Let me know this isn't just some dream. Let me know that you're really here with me. Those words remained unsaid but he knew Sasuke would feel them, would understand what he really wanted from their touch.

Sasuke closed his eyes and sighed inwardly. He'd rather prefer them to rest for a bit, or at least dry off first but whatever it was that razzed Naruto, he wanted that haunted look on his face to go away. Reaching back, he tangled his fingers into those golden locks of his. "Hn," He gave a sharp tug to his hair before soothing the scalp. For now he'd relent and maybe get to the bottom of this afterwards. "Do as you please, dobe."

BONUS:

His breath came in harsh pants, eyes closed as he shivered not from the cold but by desire. His back bowed at the slight burn, mouth hung open in a silent scream. Blunt fingernails raked on the old wooden walls of the hut, hands running up and down his sides while his back was littered with slow open-mouthed kisses. He grunted, wiggling his hips slightly to get the other's attention but the silent plea was disregarded. A fist pounded against the wall in frustration, followed by an irritated growl, "Fuck, dobe! Come on!" His voice was raspy, the sweat dripping into his eyes stung like a bitch. "If you don't fucking hurry up, I'll do it myse- Ahhh! Yes! Fuck!" Sasuke threw his head back, thanking the gods above when the blond fully sheathed himself.

Naruto looked at the delectable scene below him, breathing shallow. He's here. Naruto kissed the pale shoulder, hands massaging Sasuke's toned thighs before sliding them up his hips, then up his chest. One hand rested above the man's heart, feeling the beat resonate through his palm. This was it, proof to him that Sasuke's alive. He merely kissed the soft cheek when the other demanded him to move and start their dance.

Unsatisfied at being ignored once more, Sasuke whipped his head back at him, glaring. "Move, usuratonkachi!"

Naruto looked down at him and kissed the side of his temple softly. "Teme," he called out, his other hand ran over the lean stomach to grip the leaking length. "Tell me about your dreams." He never gave the raven a chance to answer as he pulled back, angled his hips slightly and pushed his length back in, relishing the strangled scream Sasuke let out. His screams, the bruises, scratches, love bites, all of them were proof that Sasuke's with him right now. He won't let this dream end. The dream that they shall forever stay connected, stay together. That's what he wanted most. He wanted Sasuke to be with him.

FAQ:

I'm confused, was the first smut a dream? – Oops yes, I'm sorry to say that it was! Just a glimpse on what's going through Naru's mind. Poor baby misses his S'ke.

Yes, some NaruSasu! Will this be permanent? – Remember guys, I'm not really particular in writing SasuNaru or NaruSasu. They will always be equal. Period. Even when someone tops that doesn't mean they dominate the other. They like to pleasure and receive pleasure. Who says they go for only one round anyway?

Hey, I have an idea of this and this and such – Mmm…I don't really take requests but don't let that stop you from asking! I'm open for suggestions and maybe I'll slip in an Easter egg or two in my fics. It's happened before! To the reviewer that liked Naruto being top, I give you your sort of Easter egg!
