The younger teen smiled at the brief contact, nudging his lover playfully with his elbow. He loved discreet contact in public, for some reason it gave him a little bit of a thrill. The blonde wiggled his fingers around in his pockets. "Where do you want to eat?" He asked, looking expectantly at Sasuke as he waited for an answer.
Sasuke quirked a brow, giving Naruto a side glance. The village was pretty calm and empty, considering many of it's inhabitants and fellow ninja's were at the gathering they were having for the anniversary of the day Kyuubi was sealed, everyone was required to go and pay their respects and have a good time. Figures the blonde moron would forget about his own birthday, he thought to himself with a sigh. "Whatever you want, dobe." He said with a shrug. He'd probably give Naruto anything if he asked for it, though he didn't even realize himself the power Naruto had over him. Though he did feel kind of bad that Naruto seemed to forget it was his day, where he was supposed to get all the attention. Perhaps the pale teen had picked a bad day to have a psychotic episode..?
Naruto shrugged, he'd picked earlier, it should be Sasuke's turn. Plus, he was paying anway. But since he was given the choice.. "Let's not get ramen tonight, lets just go get.. food somewhere.. I really don't know the other resturants around here." He explained, hoping maybe they could find a booth to sit together at in the far back of the resturant, since those rooms seemed to be darker. And he'd love to be able to steal a kiss every now and then without people seeing.
Sasuke's eyebrow twitched unintentionally, having paused when Naruto spoke. Of course. The one time Sasuke was insisting that Naruto choose where to go, he doesn't. Every other time, he nagged Sasuke for ramen until he finally gave in. He almost thought about going to ichiraku just because Naruto said he wanted to go somewhere else, but then again, his aim was to make the blonde happy, so he decided against it. He didn't really know many places to eat around either, but there were different ones around the village, so they'de be easy to spot. He grabbed the blonde's hand and started walking, tugging the dobe behind him as he stalked in the direction of their destination.
The blonde gave Sasuke's hand a squeeze as he started walking a little faster to keep up with his lover. He liked touching Sasuke's hands, they were soft, and despite how much he loved the hardcore stuff, holding hands always made him just as happy. His smile switch was stuck on 'smile' or something, since he couldn't seem to stop. "We're gonna have fun tonight, ne Sasu-kun?" Naruto didn't know how long it'd been since he'd called Sasuke that, hopefully it wouldn't cause him to go off.
Sasuke snorted slightly at the nickname. Naruto had used to call him that all the time, even before they'de gotten 'together'. It had always annoyed him, which always led him to start one of their fist fights. "Of course we are Naru-chan." He said in a phony cutsy voice as they came to a stop at a small place. It had a few people in there and seemed to be pretty nice, and he'd heard it had good food from Sakura once when she'd asked him to have lunch with her there. He gave Naruto a nod, signalling that this was the place they were going to eat at. He opened the door and waiting for the blonde to enter and went after him. A couple of people glanced up from their meals when they heard the door open; Sasuke ignored them and nudged Naruto to take one of the vacant tables somewhere.
Naruto grabbed his lover by the wrist, tugging him off to an empty booth in the far back corner. He figured that if they sat at the right angle, they could get away with those few little kisses he was dreaming of without being caught. He, of course, climbed in first, sliding up against the wall and pulling his feet up underneath him. The blonde rested his hands on the table in front of him, waiting for Sasuke to slide in next to him.
Sasuke quirked an elegant brow, at the blonde who was obviously waiting for him to sit down next to him. He got it, Naruto was trying to be sneaky. Even when he was trying it was still obvious, though he didn't hold it against him. He plopped down next to the blonde with a roll of his eyes, figuring it would be meaningless to fight, though it was hard to talk and converse when he couldn't look up into his eyes. "It'll probably take forever to order if we're sitting way back here." He said, though he knew it wasn't necessarily true. Everyone had seen the two come in, and he'd felt a couple even staring at their backs as they walked away. There was no telling what the meaning of their attention was, because he didn't care in the first place.
Naruto's head immediatly took it's place on Sasuke's shoulder, wrapping an arm around his lover's. It was suprisingly comfortable, he thought, as he sighed softly. He couldn't help but think there was something really big he was forgetting about, like somebody's birthday or something, but when he couldn't place his finger on what it was, he gave up all hope of searching for it in his brain. Whoever it was would forgive him anyway, everybody knew how bad he was at remembering things.
Sasuke glanced up at the woman who stopped next to their table to get their order. He picked up a menu and practically smacked the blonde in the face with it, who's head was still resting on his shoulder. He didn't really see how that was comfortable at all, shoulders were a little too bony to be using as a pillow. "Pick something, dobe." He said, having already ordered some tea for himself. He wasn't really that hungry, despite the fact that he hadn't eaten with the blonde earlier either.
The blonde rubbed at his nose where the flimsy menu had hit him, giving a half-meant glare to Sasuke. He ordered himself just simply a plate of rice and chicken, far more interested in conversing quietly with his lover than food, for once. Once the woman was gone, he resumed snuggling against the pale teen's shoulder. The strange notion that he was still forgetting something returned to him, it might help if he even knew what day it was..
"That's all you want?" Sasuke asked once the woman left with their order, relaxing a little bit into his seat. The dobe was being a bit quieter then usual and he'd basically ordered the smallest and cheapest thing on the menu. When the blonde gave him a distracted nod, he quirked a brow. Maybe now the idiot was actually starting to figure out that something was off today, other then Sasuke's mental stability, he thought. To anyone it would have been pretty obvious, or at least he thought it would. Most of the people that were here had left the small festival to eat, some women dressed in formal kimono's and the like. Even the surroundings outside, with fliers or even a few inconspicuous decorations gave it away. He was exactly sure what he was supposed to do though. Hit his teammate upside the head and go 'What are you dense? It's your birthday, stupid!'. No. Because that would be insensitive. Which is exactly what he wasn't, so that was why he decided to keep from doing it. He cleared his throat after a long silence, not used to being the one having to spark a conversation. "Is there anything in particular you wanted to do?" He asked, in a tone that he hoped didn't sound irritated. It was wierd enough that he was being so inquiring, and the fact that Naruto hadn't realized that yet either made his distraction even the more obvious.
Naruto rested his propped an elbow up on the table, cradling his chin in his palm with a furrow of his brows. A few people had entered the resturant, all dressed up fancy and what not. Come to think of it, i everyone /i in the small place was dressed up, and the streets had been pretty empty, which was unusual since the village was usually alive with the hustle and business of the villagers. Okay, he i knew /i he was DEFINATLY missing something now. But the last thing he wanted to do was ask Sasuke and look all stupid and stuff, though he was becoming more and more desperate on finding out what today was. He couldn't help but think that it was something i completly /i obvious, and he'd be labled 'fucking moron' for not knowing. "Hmph.." He pouted, racking his brain for what it could possibly be. Anniversary? No.. nobody he knew was married. It wasn't i their /i anniversary of dating, was it? Nah.. that was around December, he thought.. And besides, why the hell would the whole entire village dress up for something as petty as an anniversary party?
They were both pretty quiet for a bit, Sasuke occasionally sending the blonde next to him glances but not saying anything. He felt like he was at a loss or something. He couldn't help but think if Naruto did find out it was his birthday, he'd be disappointed because all they'de done was go to some measily restraunt for food, but then again it would be kind of mean if he didn't figure it out either. He was pulled temporarily from his thoughts when the same woman from before came with what Naruto had ordered, making sure to look as if she hadn't appreciated having to do it at all. She faltered slightly when she saw Sasuke's withering glare in her direction, then turned her nose up and stalked away, leaving the pale teen with the urge to follow and talk some sense into her via threatening. Instead, however, Sasuke just stood up and walked around the table and sat down, so he could face his teammate. He propped his elbows on the table, knitting his fingers together in front of his mouth, his usual thoughtful posture. He glanced out a nearby window, noting it was getting darker and darker outside. By the time they left, the sun would probably be no where in sight, he decided. "Everythings mostly closed by now." He mused in an impassive drawl as he dropped his hands to the table, absently tapping his fingers restlessly. "I don't suppose saying 'happy birthday' would make you feel any better." He stated more then asked, as if the look on the blondes face was unsatisfaction instead of just confusion and curiosity.
A look washed over Naruto's face that clearly read 'Ooooooohh..'. Duh, who forgot their own birthday? Obviously him.. but it wasn't his fault, he'd been distracted with trying to keep Sasuke's sanity, which was a job enough in itself, besides getting caught up in i trying /i to get laid. "Yeah, that makes me happy." He responded, picking up his chopsticks and breaking them apart. Smiling at the pale teen, Naruto shoveled some of the food into his mouth, careful not to drop any rice in his lap. Of all the different things he could possibly ask for as a birthday present, the only thing he wanted this year was a kiss from his lover, right then and there, and neither of them care who saw.
Sasuke quirked a brow at the smile on the blonde's face as he began to literally inhale the food that had been untouched until that moment. He leaned back a bit while relaxing into the slightly uncomfortable seat, his foot absently brushing against the others as he continued to study the blonde thoughtfully. He wasn't sure if that was a true statement or a sarcastic one, sometimes it was hard to differentiate between seriousness and whatnot when it came to Naruto. The blonde hadn't answered his previous question on what he wanted to do, or if he wanted anything, he'd probably do his best to give him what he wanted. It was his birthday after all. He just wouldn't feel right if he didn't do something to prove himself, that he cared that Naruto had a good birthday.
Scooping up some rice, Naruto held out his chopsticks, offering the small amount of food to Sasuke. "Want some? You haven't eaten today, besides a few noodles." He offered, they'd gone out to eat, the Uchiha should be i eating /i . And plus, he couldn't remain very stable if he was hungry all the time. The blonde wondered if he should feel.. weird that Sasuke, nor anyone else, had said nothing to him about if being his birthday, but then again, how many people in the village actually cared about him? He shrugged it off, happy to at least have the older teen's love and company.. He absently wondered if his lover had a present or something for him, whether it be having birthday sex in another odd place they'd never done it before, besides the couch, or an actual object.
Sasuke shook his head dubiously at the offer. "I haven't really gotten my appetite back, yet." He explained, considering he knew the blonde would be stubborn about him not eating the food. He really just wasn't hungry. He blamed it on stress, though. He'd probably wake up after a night of rest ready to devour anything that looked edible. He wasn't sure what the plan was after they left, since he would be leaving it up to Naruto. He hadn't gotten Naruto a material gift for his birthday, though he'd thought about it. In all actuality, he had no idea what the idiot would want. Whether it was free ramen to a new set of shuriken, the possibilites were endless. So, he just figured whenever Naruto actually seemed interested or asked for something in particular, then it would be his.
The blonde shrugged, eating what was on his chopsticks himself. "You should still eat though, you're tummy will wake me up tonight when it starts screaming for food." He explained with a smile, pointing the wooden utensils at the pale teen accusingly. "Either that, or it'll totally change my mood from horny to amused when I'm taking your clothes off." He added, finishing what little bit of food he had left and setting down his chopsticks. He placed his fingers to his chin, pondering what he could possibly ask for, since it seemed that's what the Uchiha was waiting for him to do.
Sasuke smirked challengingly at blonde, crossing his arms over his chest. "Dobe, your horniness never goes away until I take care of it for you." He stated matter of factly with a smug smirk, as if he knew he was completely irresistable. He was such an arrogant bastard, and he accepted that. But he couldn't help but tease the blonde. He contemplated warning the blonde not to hurt his head thinking too much, but bit it back, quirking a brow while still smirking.
"Shh, I'm trying to figure out what I should beg you for.." The blonde hushed his lover, waving his comment off as if he hadn't even heard it. But he had, and that was usually the case, since he just couldn't resist getting his hands on that oh-so-delicious pale skin. Which, he made a point of making sure, that nobody else got to touch.. especially in those certain places.
Sasuke gave the blonde a baffled look, as if he couldn't believe his dobe had really just brushed him off. He leaned forward, resting his weight on his elbow on the table. "Don't 'shush' me, deadlast." He said feigning being offended, his brows having shot into his hairline. "And who said anything about begging, just say what you want."
The blonde quirked a perverted brow, that broadened his options considerably, since he wouldn't have to beg.. "What I want.. is..." He paused, tapping his toes on the floor beneath him. "A kiss.. Now." He finished, the resturant was pretty much empty, save for a few couples sitting around just talking, and not paying attention to them. Maybe he'd finish his wishes once they were back home.
Sasuke's expression returned back to it's original blank look as he sat back and resumed tapping his fingers impatiently on the table, his dark gaze never leaving the blondes. He couldn't say he was surprised about the request, Naruto had always seemed to think his reasons for not being affectionate in public were stupid. That and the fact that he wasn't overly affectionate in the first place. Then again, the place was practically empty, he figured the point was someone to see it, so what was the point? "That's it? Hn." He drawled, glancing around the room for a moment. It seemed really important to the blonde, despite the many times Sasuke tried to explain that he wasn't ashamed or embarassed.
Naruto leaned back in the booth. "Yeah.. that's it.. but if you don't want to, I'm not gonna make you." He explained, sheepishly picking at his fingernails. Honestly, he didn't see why it was such a big deal to keep things so private, he didn't really mind that part very much, just.. he hated having to keep his hands to himself all the time. But if it made Sasuke happy, then he'd just bare with it. Only he didn't get what one tiny kiss, hidden in the darkness of the corner, would hurt.
Sasuke quirked a brow at the blonde's expression. It was something between disappointment and acceptance, which made him want to roll his eyes. "If it's that important to you.." He muttered under his breath and stood up abruptly, placing a few bills on the table and yanking the blonde out of his seat and toward the exit of the small restraunt, continuing to tug th blonde further into the village. If he was going to do it, then he may as well make it worth it to the stupid idiot, right? He never saw the point in everyone knowing about his business. As they continued down the street, the sound of people talking and laughing and the sound of feet shuffling and small games being played got louder and louder.
Naruto resisted the urge to pull out of his lover's strong grip, not wanting a repeat of the earlier events when he'd tried to pull away. He wasn't sure if Sasuke was dragging him out of the resturant cause he was angry with him, or if he just really wanted to prove something. Naruto hadn't meant for him to make a big giant deal about it and drag him into the middle of a crowd or something, he'd just wanted a quick kiss in their corner.. That would have satisfied him pleanty.
Sasuke wasn't angry or even really irritated at the moment, his expression blank with a slight hint of determination. The village seemed to be getting livlier and livlier as they walked, passing people walking to their homes or nonchalantly chatting off to the sides. They'de get a few glances here and there, which was probably because Sasuke was dragging Naruto behind him, which was strange enough in itself. Sasuke paused suddenly and looked over his shoulder, noting Naruto wasn't struggling, but wasn't following willingly either. "What is it, dobe? This is what you want, right?" He asked in a serious tone, no contempt or irritation noticeable at all. He was truly curious.
There was some sort of confused look in Naruto's eyes, glancing warily at the groups of people around them. "Yeah.. It's what I want." He wasn't going to upset Sasuke by saying something like 'But, isn't this i too /i public..?', and of course, he wanted nothing more than for everybody to know that Sasuke was his, and vice versa. Maybe, if some of the Uchiha's fangirls would see this, then they'd quit swooning over him around the blonde.
Sasuke arched an almost amused brow at his companion, wondering if his conviction had faltered slightly. He'd seemed kind of thoughtful for a moment. Was he getting uncomfortable now? "You sure, dobe?" He asked, releasing Naruto's wrist to grab his hand gently instead, smirk in place.
The blonde laced their fingers together, tilting his head up slightly to look into his lover's eyes. Was he sure? Yeah.. of course he was, he'd asked for the kiss, he wasn't going to turn it down now. "I'm sure.." He stepped close to Sasuke, their bodies almost touching, and he ignored the people around them, a few of them watching out of the corner of their eye.
Sasuke's smirk grew visibly at the blonde's boldness and knew he'd been completely serious. Though it was a strange feeling, being so close and being able to feel the heat of Naruto's body on his skin with so many people around. The close proximity of the two was far from platonic, which was completely obvious. Sasuke was the one that decided to close the distance as he leaned forward and pressed his lips gently to Naruto's, his free hand cupping Naruto's strong jawline while the other remained laced with the whiskered teens. He had no problem with flaunting his relationship with Naruto to anyone who wanted to see, they could talk and stare all they wanted. But the thought of them looking at Naruto that way bothered him. The dobe ignored enough stares and glares as it was with a smile, but he knew that it still hurt him to be the subject of such judgmental and malicious stares. If anything, perhaps some of those would be shifted onto him so it wouldn't be as hard for him? He let the thought slip his mind, as long as the younger teen was pleased, it was okay.
Naruto smiled against the older teen's lips, pressing slightly into the kiss. He could feel the stares from the villagers around them, and for once, he didn't let it bother him in the least. He squeezed Sasuke's hand, as if verifying that the situation was actually happening, and he wasn't dreaming. The blonde wasn't sure how far the pale teen would take the kiss, and in case he didn't want to further it, Naruto was going to let i him /i deepen things. His free hand moved up between their bodies, resting on the Uchiha's chest.
He was pleased when he felt Naruto's lips quirk into what he imagined was some type of goofy satisfied smile, a warm hand moving up his chest in an almost silent and indirect encouragment. His lips moved softly against Naruto's, pulling his hand away from the blondes to cup the other side of his face as he inquiringly ran his tongue over the blondes bottom lip. His eyes had fallen shut of their own accord, focusing solely on the warm lips against his own. The world around them seemingly disappeared to him.
Somewhat adjusting to the feeling of being watched, Naruto let his mouth open, an invitation to his lover's tounge. His hand moved from Sasuke's chest to grasp the hand on his cheek, making sure the older teen wouldn't be pulling away anytime soon. All thoughts of anyone else were abandoned, as far as he was concerned, if he couldn't see them, they couldn't see him.
There was a familiar feeling of comfortable warmth spreading through his chest as the kiss became more then just a simple kiss. Sasuke's sighed slightly as the blonde's taste and scent invaded his senses, shivering in barely restrained delight as his tongue briefly came into contact with Naruto's as it mapped out the contours of his mouth.
The blonde sucked briefly on the older teen's tounge before pulling out of the kiss, desperate for even a little bit of oxygen to satisfy his lungs. He breathed out a soft chuckle, Naruto couldn't belive they'd just done that with all those people watching.. He'd just meant for it to be a brief meeting of lips, not an entanglement of mouths..! But either way, he was glad it happened.. "My house? Or yours?"
