Chapter 8: Operation Seduce-And-Claim
Sasuke walked down the stairs casually and slowly, pondering about what else he could do. He wasn't really used to 'seducing', truth be told, since all the girls already loved him. He just had to give his hair a short flick, or give a very small smile, or even stuff his hands in his pockets—it would all turn them on.
Then again, those were girls. There were a lot of differences between girls and Naruto, who was the most stubborn person (next to himself, of course) he had ever met. He had to try his best.
He hummed to himself as he tried to think of something—anything—in order to get the blonde to notice him. So undressing him didn't help? Well, it had certainly caused a reaction (though Sasuke wasn't happy with it). He had almost seemed scared though and Sasuke definitely didn't want him to be afraid… he'd just have to think of something else.
"Hm… I think I've got something," Sasuke thought evilly as he saw Naruto sitting at the kitchen table, happily eating an ice cream. The Uchiha grinned.
It would be perfect

Operation Seduce-and-Claim (shortened for Sasuke's own convenience)—Step 2
"Uh, hey Sasuke," Naruto said happily as he bit off a piece of his ice cream. Sasuke blinked owlishly at the sudden mood change—had he already forgotten about what happened in the bedroom? Heh. He really is a dobe. "Damn, it's so hot today! You should really get some air-conditioning in here!" Sasuke shrugged.
"I'm hardly at home. I only go here to sleep and eat, I spend the rest of my day training or doing missions," he replied casually, walking over to the freezer and taking out a popsicle as well. He mentally grinned. "A popsicle really is nice on such a hot day," he said huskily, settling himself in a chair opposite of Naruto. Said blonde gulped when he saw the lust-filled glaze in Sasuke's eyes and had the urge to run out of the house screaming.
He froze when Sasuke slowly brought out his tongue and licked the bottom of the popsicle, sliding upwards and making small noises of appreciation. His tongue stopped at the tip and he slowly slid his lips over it, taking in almost half of the popsicle. Sasuke's eyes closed as he slowly brought it up and down, while sometimes letting his tongue flicking over the tip visibly.
When he opened his eyes, he was pleased to note that Naruto's cheeks were crimson and that he was practically drooling over him.
"What's the matter, Na-Ru-To?" he asked innocently. The blonde blinked at him, before he shot up from his seat.
"I have to clean the other bathroom!" he exclaimed loudly and ran out of the kitchen.
"Wait! You're not supposed to work!"
Step 2: Failed.

Operation Seduce-and-Claim—Step 3
"Naruto, dinner!" Sasuke hollered through his house, very annoyed. The dobe had avoided him all day long and it was slightly unnerving. Did Naruto really hate him that much? Or was he just in denial?
"Ramen, ramen, ramen, ramen!" Naruto chanted happily over and over again when he entered the kitchen. Sasuke raised an eyebrow at him, before smirking lightly. He set down one bowl on the table, before heading over to the fridge. "Hey, you're not gonna eat ramen?" Naruto asked curiously. Sasuke's smirk grew wider.
"I'm not really in the mood. I feel more like… strawberries(1)," he replied and took out a bowl filled with strawberries, covered in whipped cream. He sat down at the table, once again opposite of Naruto, and he slowly took out a strawberry, holding it with his index finger and his thumb by the tip. He brought it to his mouth and slid his lips over it, completely covering the strawberry with his mouth as he sucked the whipped cream off of it, all the while keeping his eyes locked with Naruto's, who was once again drooling.
"Uuhn, these are so good. Do you want some, Naruto-kun?" he asked huskily, flicking his tongue over a chocolate-coated strawberry. Naruto's trance was immediately broken by his voice and he grew pale when he noticed how much closer he had scooted over to Sasuke, who was now mere inches away from his face, holding up a strawberry. It looked so inviting… and yet…
"Sorry, I just remembered I gotta walk my fish!" he yelled loudly, storming out of the room once again. Sasuke raised an eyebrow.
"Walk his fish? …Fish can't walk."
Oh Sasuke. You genius, you.
Step 3: Failed.

"Damn it, what the hell does that bastard think he's doing!" Naruto exclaimed loudly in his own room. He flopped onto the bed as he groaned. "But damn, that guy can be sexy, I had to do my best not to jump him on the spot."
"Why didn't you?"
"Because I don't want that! Well… maybe I do, but I'm probably just a boy toy to him or something."
"A boy toy, kit? You've been spending too much time with that Kakashi-guy…"
"Maybe I'm just a hopeless romantic or something, or just girly, but I don't want to have sex with him if it doesn't mean anything to him! And I'm sure it doesn't, since so far the only thing he has done is licking stuff. Has he even once asked me on a date, or just tell me he likes me? No!" Naruto groaned in frustration. "I mean, if he wants to have sex so badly, he can just go screw Kinrui-chan or something, 'cause I'm not doing it!" Kyuubi chuckled in amusement
"Have you ever though about simply telling him how you feel? It would be easier, you know." Naruto shook his head.
"And risk him laughing at me in my face and calling me a dobe? No way," he replied, his eyes watering slightly. "I'm scared, I don't want to be rejected." Kyuubi sighed warily.
"Look, how many girlfriends has Uchiha had in the past?"
"…None."
"And has he ever let lust take over him? You know, tell some girl he likes her, screw her brains out and then dump her?"
"I don't think so… it'd be all over town if he had."
"Has he ever set his eyes on something that wasn't important to him? Has he ever been interested in anything else besides killing his brother?"
"Hmm… no."
"Well, he's showing interest in you now! Sure, the guy has issues he seriously needs to take care of, but he certainly likes you, if he actually wanted you to stay here during the whole two weeks and is making moves on you. Damn, how can you be so dense, kit?"
"B—But still, it might just be hormones or something! Ya know, teenage hormones?"
"…a twenty-year old with teenage hormones? Kit, are you scared or something?"
"Why would I be scared!" Naruto exclaimed indignantly, crossing his arms and pouting. Kyuubi rolled his eyes.
"No idea, that's why I'm asking you. Just think about it kit, you can spend the rest of your life in denial or you can just go ahead and take a chance, and tell the Uchiha-bastard." Naruto stayed silent for a long time, contemplating everything the demon fox had said.
"Y'know Kyuubi… I think this is the first time you ever gave me good advice," he commented, grinning. Kyuubi gave him a fox-like grin in return.
"If that is what it takes for you to finally screw him, I'll do it."
"Gha! I knew it! Once a pervert, always a pervert!"

Operation Seduce-and-Claim—Step 4
"Hey Naruto, have you seen my pants?" Sasuke asked innocently as he walked into the blonde's room completely and utterly naked. Naruto paled instantly, before covering his eyes with the back of his hand and racing out of the room, occasionally smashing into a wall.
"NOT LOOKING!" Sasuke heard him yell and shrugged.
Maybe it hadn't been such a good idea after all.
Step 4: Failed.

Sasuke was not a happy camper.
All of his efforts had gone unnoticed—then again, all of his efforts weren't rather well-thought of and mostly were spontaneous (especially Step 4). Naruto ignored him now as much as possible and he still hadn't jumped him like a girl would've done by now! Hell, Sasuke thought that even Hinata wouldn't be able to resist him, had he walked around naked through the house.
So then, Naruto really didn't feel anything for him?
It somehow hurt Sasuke more than it should have—hell, he knew the blonde was attracted to him. That much was obvious, since Naruto could only drool at him whenever he tried to 'seduce'. So what was holding him back? Did Naruto really hate him so much? Did he really loathe him?
Sasuke internally cringed. Was Naruto still angry about the betrayal of eight years ago? That was the only thing he could think of that he had done wrong in their friendship. The constant name-calling wasn't much out of the ordinary, so that couldn't have been it, right?
Maybe he should ask Kakashi for his advice—that pervert probably would know one thing or another about getting the person you wanted when that person wasn't really willing. Hell, he had gotten Iruka after all, right?

"So, you have come to seek my help, young Grasshopper." Kakashi folded his hands in front of his face as he looked at the scowling Uchiha in amusement.
"Funny, Kakashi."
"Yes, I thought so too," he replied cheerfully. "Still no luck with Naruto then? Maa, you should just tell him, you know. That's what I did with Iruka!" Said Chuunin raised an eyebrow in annoyance.
"No you didn't Kakashi, you molested me when we all went to the hot springs with Asuma, Gai, Genma and Raidou." Kakashi faked surprise.
"But the next day you wanted me to be your boyfriend!" he exclaimed indignantly. Iruka gave him a playful smack to the head.
"That was you!" the Jounin blinked once, before laughing good-naturedly.
"Aaah, yeah, now I remember. So, you see Sasuke-kuuuun, you should just molest him and everything will be fine!"(2)
"…Iruka-sensei, do you know what I should do?" Sasuke finally asked, turning to the brown-haired man who looked up and blinked.
"Well… Naruto has always been fond of honesty, he hates it when people lie to him or keep something from him. The best you can do is just tell him how you feel and everything will work out! Naruto won't hold it against you, he's not like that," he finally said, smiling warmly. Sasuke nodded slowly.
"Thanks, Iruka-sensei," he said, before jumping out the window. Kakashi stared after him.
"Hey! I helped too!
