Sasuke awoke at 6:30. He really didn't get that much sleep the night before. When Naruto was getting ready for his date he wandered outside, closesly watched of course. During his walk, Sasuke was determined to come up with a plan to get rid of Sakura from Naruto's life. He labeled each Skank be Gone , and though it was supposed to be for just getting her out of the picture, Sasuke's mind tended to wander to more...exterminating plans.

Finally, Sasuke headed in, Plan C being chosen and by the time he spotted the other man, he was arm in arm with Sakura. Sasuke stopped and just watched; Naruto looked so happy, just so damn happy. An odd wave of self-pity overwhelmed him, causing a ruckus through the guards. Some thought he was sick, others thought he was angry; but none of them though Uchiha Sasuke could feel hurt.

Sasuke hurried to the room, closing the door shut behind him. He packed his stuff since Tsunade said they could leave the hospital the next day to ward off boredom, or loneliness. Sasuke began reading a book on new ninjutsu, usually his favorite subject, but he couldn't concentrate today. His mind wandered to the guards. He thought it ironic that they thought of him as emotionless, when emotion was the one thing that drove him to get revenge, to reach any goal he achieved in his life. He started to wonder if Naruto thought like that too; if sometimes he thought he didn't have to treat Sasuke like everyone else, because of that.

Sasuke was mulling over this when a young ANBU came in with a tray of food. Usually Tsunade would bring it, but apparently she was really busy. The boy looked to be about the same age as he and Naruto. Placing the tray on Sasuke's lap, he stopped him.

"So", Sasuke said with a grin."They made you bring my food, eh?" Through the mask the boy smiled.

"Yeah...we drew straws." Suddenly, Sasuke's heart dropped. The boy had a gorgeous smile,it seemed familiar. Looking the boy over, Sasuke realised this was the boy from the Sand village Tsunade hired to be an ANBU for Konoha; the main reason, he told a joke Naruto thought hilarious.

Supressing a laugh, the boy noticed. "Haha. I don't think you're all that bad Sasuke."

The boy started hesitantly. "I heard you're moving your stuff to an apartment. Need any help?"

Sasuke glanced at the boy. "Okay. Be here by 6:45, no later. By the way, what's your name?" The tiger ANBU didn't remove his mask but answered,"Daisuke."


Sasuke realised he was daydreaming when he heard a knock at the door.

"Hey" He heard Daisuke call out.

Sasuke ushered him in then returned to putting clothes back in a suitcase. Naruto awoke looking dazed yet extremely sexy, as always, and stared at Sasuke a moment.

"What are you doing?" Perking up a bit, his haze faded. "Where are you going?!" His anger was rising as he stood up and was instantly next to the other man. "Are you trying to leave again?" Sasuke raised a brow and pointed at Daisuke. "With his help?"

Naruto glanced at the boy. He smiled at Naruto and said hello before grabbing one of Sasuke's bags. "Well," Sasuke stated."See you at the apartment, Dobe" before strolling out, bags and Daisuke in tow.


Sakura awoke around noon, feeling wonderful and after imagining spending a night with Naruto, it already happened! Pacing her room, she suddenly remembered he was released from the hospital that day. Hoping to catch up, she started walking over to Naruto's house.

She was on his street when she spotted the blonde hair, walking just a few feet ahead, head slouched.

"Hey! What's wrong?" Sakura began, beginning to feel his forehead.

"Oh, nothing Sakura. It's just...Sasuke's being a real pain, so you might not want to go inside."

Sakura scowled. "NOT GO INSIDE! WHY THE HELL NOT? WHO DOES SASUKE THINK HE IS?!!!"

Naruto grabbed Sakura's cheeks. "Please Sakura..." he begged. Looking at her shoes, she nodded an agreement.

"Okay, but meet up with me later, we still have wedding plans." Turning away, Naruto gave her a wan smile before entering his apartment.


It took only a few moments of getting back into town before Sakura decided she couldn't take it anymore and would talk to Ino to pass the time.


Walking into the apartment, Naruto plopped his clothes on a chair before looking around. He saw Sasuke's hospital bacelet, but no Sasuke. Wandering around for a few minutes, he noticed Sasuke's door was closed. Ever curious, he still held out and didn't peek, not wanting to displace Sasuke's feeling of privacy. The last straw was a low laugh he identified as Sasuke's and another he couldn't, and slammed open the door.

"Hi" Naruto exclaimed happily, looking around. Daisuke was sitting by Sasuke, reading a book.

"Oh, well..." Daisuke began, "I better get going."

Naruto smiled. "Ok... let me walk you out." He kept up his facade until the boy was out, then turned on Sasuke. "So...is this what you meant?" he asked, tapping his foot. Sasuke shrugged.

"What are you talking about, Dobe?"

Naruto looked baffled, then answered. "You're angry at me so you try and get an ANBU officer, one I actually like?"

Sasuke chuckled as he sat on the couch. "So this is what it's about, huh? It has nothing to do with my feelings, only about you not being happy?"

Naruto frowned at him.

"You know what? You're right Naruto. I care about you soo fucking much, that I was going to fuck that ANBU now; you know, it's a shame you walked in when you did. Almost had him."

Naruto growled. "Shut up, Sasuke."

Sasuke grinned. "What? That's what you expect of me right?"

Naruto struck. Straddling Sasuke, he growled out. "You are so annoying. Sometimes I just want to..." He placed his fist at Sasuke's throat. Sasuke arched up.

"Go ahead Naruto, Look I'm helping."

Glaring down, Naruto bit into Sasuke's neck. "ah!...ow"

Naruto waited until Sasuke's writhing slowed to let go of his neck. Placing gentle kisses up his neck to his face, he finally captured Sasuke's mouth. Thoroughly distracting his lover, Naruto moved his hand down Sasuke's chest,to the heated bulge beneath his pants. Following the trail of his hands with his mouth, Naruto stopped right above Sasuke's erection.

"Uzumaki..." Sasuke ground out. Laughing coyly, Naruto wrapped his mouth around him. "Ummm..." Sasuke moaned, almost humming. After several moments, Naruto found his way back up to Sasuke's mouth. Capturing another kiss, he gently probed his finger inside of Sasuke, until the man relaxed. Then preparing himself, he entered Sasuke. His head spun, it was much different than being inside of Sakura, not exactly a bad thing. "Ahhh....uhhh." Sasuke moaned, biting into Naruto's shoulder. Naruto couldn't move for the first few moments, Sasuke felt so tight. Finally, Sasuke's bucking hips urged him on. Slowly, so slowly, he entered Sasuke.

"Damn..." Naruto breathed. "You feel really good Sasuke." Sasuke didn't reply, just kept rhythm. He loved the feel of Naruto, but he was going too slow!

"Haha" Sasuke managed to get out in a chuckle. "Is this how you did it to Sakura?"

Naruto's eyes flashed red."Uchiha!" he growled, flipping the man to all fours.

Without warning, Naruto began punding into Sasuke over and over again. They went at a feverish pace, both barely hanging on. "Naruto...Naru...ah!" Sasuke let out as he climaxed, hearing his name called out a second plopped on Sasuke's back, them being on the couch, so Sasuke rolled him to the floor. It was quiet for a long time, neither spoke.

"You know, you don't really have to marry Sakura. I mean, it's not like you're really tied down to her. The only people that know about the official engagement are you, me, Tsunade, Sakura, and I suspect Ino" Sasuke said to the celing. Naruto nodded his agreement, though Sasuke couldn't see it. He didn't have to; the silence spoke louder than words.


"So, I know about you're whole sexcapade, but what's the big deal?" Ino asked Sakura, rolling her eyes. Sakura gave a dramatic pause before answering.

"Well, I'm supposed to have my period today... and I didn't get it!"

Ino let out a shocked gasp. "You didn't! That's so low!"

Sakura shook her head. "No, no. All Naruto has are second thoughts; I'm just...pushing him along. Besides, I know he's not cheating on me."

Ino thought about it, then shook her head in agreement. I guess you're right. Glad I never had to do that to my Choji-sama."

Sakura rolled her eyes.

"But you know Sakura, when you find out...if you are or aren't, you have to tell him."

Sakura nodded. She remembered Naruto's daze of the past few weeks. "You know what, how about I tell him now? He shouldn't be busy!"

Ino shook her head. "Whatever you want."

Before racing off, Sakura grabbed a rose. "Thanks. Pay you back later!"
