Author's note: Yawn. I'm bored. You know I have to disclaim any of the Naruto characters. I hope you fine the interlude in the love making interesting. I have to censored some of the explicit details in the intercourse though.

It was Naruto! Sasuke's head pounded against his ribs.

"Crap!" He thought. "What should I do now? Calm down Sasuke…take a deep breath. Think of a plan to escape." Nothing came. "Kuso! Wait. Maybe I could turn this to my advantage."

The thought of seducing Naruto came his mind. Great! This was a perfect chance to do that. Just one problem…he doesn't know how. Spending time at the island as Itachi's sister has a drawback. Nobody dared to teach him anything that his brother might disapprove.

Thank god for Naruto. He spared him the trouble of thinking himself to oblivion.

"How delicate you are," Naruto breathed, his words a hot, sweet caress against Sasuke's neck. "Kirei! I've longed to say that to you."

A gasp rose to his lips as the smooth heat of the taller man's mouth touched the cool flesh of his neck. His hands caressed his waist, drawing Sasuke nearer.

"Hmm…I could see you've changed your attire to something else.."

See? Sasuke glanced anxiously toward the sky, but the betraying moon was safely blanketed in the shrouding darkness of the clouds.

"Y-yes," Sasuke finally answered, trying his best to sound like Haku. "I needed the change."

One of Naruto's fingers rose slowly, teasingly, toward his nipples. Sasuke gave a strangled cry, a softly despairing sound that was half smothered in the sudden tightness that gripped his throat. He trembled as Naruto enveloped him in his arms. His lips worked across the nape of his neck.

"No," Sasuke breathed, suddenly afraid of the strange thrumming of his blood and the unfamiliar feeling spread throughout his body like wildfire. "Please."

"You don't mean that, itoshi," Naruto whispered, his fingers making small circles on his belly. "You know you don't and I know you don't, so why pretend?" Naruto nuzzled his shoulder.

"Please," Sasuke choked, the word barely forming in the pandemonium of emotions in his head.

"You're lying," he insisted, his lips sucking gently on Sasuke's tender earlobes. "Your lips tell me lies, but your body betrays you."

Sasuke moaned deep in his throat. He suddenly found himself off the ground, in Naruto's strong arms.

"Come with me," Naruto hissed. He knew he should go slowly, take time, but his need was too great, his desire too urgent. There would be other times to make leisurely love both aboard the ship and at Uzumaki Manor.

"Shhh… We don't want to wake the girl up!" Naruto rasped as they came to a stop in front of Naruto's cabin.

Sasuke realized with a giddy sense of elevation that Naruto had no idea of the mistake he was making. He still believed that he was Haku. The truism that had gotten him through his perilous childhood still held – people saw what they wanted to see, believed what they wanted to believe. As far as Naruto knew there were only two longhaired people on board, one a man and the other a girl. Since he was obviously holding to a man, it must be Haku. That helped push Sasuke's fear away.

Naruto's mouth slanted across his, savage, demanding and Sasuke thought his heart would stop. The knowledge that Naruto thought he was someone else somehow set him free to accept the passion Naruto offered him.

Naruto unzipped Sasuke's clothe trying releasing him from its tight, confining fabric. But in his haste, he broke the zipper. He kept silent about it seeing as the other man didn't notice.

"We could always buy something else," he thought.

Sasuke's hair fell about his shoulder in a silken flow as Naruto undid the bun. Naruto enfolded him in his arms.

Yada…yada…

(A/N: Sorry for the cut. I'm just following the rules.)

"It hurts!" Sasuke choked, tears falling down his cheeks. "Yamero!"

"Are you crying?" Naruto felt the warm liquid "It's okay. It'll get better. Trust me! God you're so tight!"

Then it registered. The shyness, all the hesitance, the reluctance…the person his arms was a virgin!

"Haku…?" Naruto began. "Are you a virgin?"

"Hai," Sasuke answered slowly. "I'm sorry."

"Shh… don't be sorry," Naruto tried to calm him down but failed as he laughed out aloud. "This is better than I thought."

Sasuke snapped. "I'm very appreciative that you found my pain very pleasing!" Sasuke started to punch and push at Naruto big bulk. "Get off me. I changed my mind about this. This pain is not worth the humiliation. I said get off."

He stopped short as pain shot through him. He grimaced in pain with all the shifting.

"Don't move itoshi." Naruto stroke his cheek to calm him down, but his voice was stern. "You can't change your mind. It's already done."

"If we're done I would like to get out now!"

Naruto was about snap at the smaller figure below him, but he suddenly laugh.

"I'm so thrilled that my condition had you an enjoyable entertainment." Sasuke said sarcastically.

"Iie. It's not that." Naruto said. "I've never known you to be a spitfire. If I didn't know it better you've been taking lessons from Sasuki-chan."

If he could, Sasuke would have kicked himself then. "Oh," he only said.

"Back to being passive, are we?" Naruto chuckled. "Gomen. Gomen. I never meant to hurt you or your feelings. I laughed because I was just please that I'm your first." Naruto answered cheerfully. "Thank you for this gift; for giving me the honours. But I wished you had told me earlier so that I would take it slowly. It'll get better after this. I promise."

(A/N: Another cut I'm afraid. If you ever wanted the uncut version you know where to contact me)

"Daijoubu?"

"Mmm…" Sasuke could only mumbled.

"I'll take that as a yes." Naruto said as he lay on his back beside Sasuke. "That was…GREAT!"

Naruto turned on his side to face Sasuke; hands seized the younger of the two on the waist to him up closely. He kissed Sasuke, his tongue swirling into his mouth,

"You're so sweet," he muttered, more to himself. He kissed Sasuke's temple and the tip of his nose. "Good night." He said hazily. Within seconds he was fast asleep.

Sasuke's eyes were wide open, his brain working overtime to register all the recently incestuous…exercise and to imprint it forever in his head.

"I better get going," Sasuke finally accepted that he would only have this night with Naruto. Too stay longer would only invite the danger of discovery and most importantly a broken heart.

Slowly as not to wake the blonde up, Sasuke got out of bed. Thank god Naruto was neat or else he would already hit on something in the dark cabin. Memorising his step, he went to the cupboard to get a towel. He cleaned himself, then as an afterthought, did the same thing to Naruto.

Sasuke smiled to himself as Naruto moaned at the feel of the rough cloth against him.

"Sasuke quickly got dressed in the dark only to discover the broken zipper. "Damn! I'm so gonna get kill for this." He walked to Naruto. "Good night my blonde savior." He kissed Naruto on the forehead. "I'll always remember this night."

Silently, he stalked out of the cabin. On the bed Naruto's eyes suddenly opened. "I'll never forget tonight either."

"Sasuke!!" From the swiftness of his answer to Sasuke's knock, it was evident that Kyu had been waiting for his return. He was not however prepared for the glassy eyed, tousle-haired boy who pushed past him and began immediately pulling the rumpled clothing off his body.

Sasuke didn't say a word as he dragged on his kimono. He ran a hand through his thick locks of hair to straighten most of it, keeping care not to look at Kyu's questioning gaze.

"What happened?" Kyu demanded.

Sasuke only shook his head. "Nothing!"

"Sasuke?" Kyu put a restraining hand on Sasuke's arm.

Sasuke shook it off and tore out of the room, leaving a bewildered Kyu to deal with the shamble Naruto had made of Haku's clothe.

Sasuke went inside his cabin. On his bed, Sasuke clutched his blanket to his chest. He cradled his pillow and cried himself to sleep, without knowing the reason for his tears.

The morning sun was glowing over the gentle breeze of the sea. Sasuke's mood lightened from whatever dread he was feeling before. Not wanting to confuse himself anymore, he simply shrugged the feeling off.

"Sasuke!" Naruto's voice rang in the salty air.

He turned, knowing full well that his cheeks were blazing with a hot blush he could not hope to suppress. As Naruto strode toward him, he could not help remembering the pleasure and pain of the previous night.

Oh my god, Naruto thought, his charged must have heard something of what had happened in his cabin the night before. Well that's to damned bad, he told himself, refusing to accept anymore guilt for his impulsiveness. He had a 'deflowered' man in his list already.

"Yes?" Sasuke answered softly.

"Have you seen Haku, this morning, Sasu-chan?"

Sasuke stole a glance at Naruto and found his eyes busily scanning the deck.

"He's on the quarterdeck," he replied, "With Kyu."

Naruto stared at Sasuke's kiss-bruised lips and felt himself become fascinated. Then he scowled at the thought. He shook his head. "Did you and Kyu kissed again?" He growled, somehow that knowledge made him angry.

"NO! Honest. I slipped and hit my lips on the wall."

"Very well." Naruto shook his head before he turned; he obviously had something else on his mind. Sasuke's mouth twisted wryly as he watched Naruto striding purposely to the quarterdeck.

Sasuke was sure that Naruto was undoubtedly thinking of the discovery of the man in his arm had not been the experienced beauty he'd imagined him to be. Was his conscience troubling him? Sasuke watched Naruto with interest as he approached Haku, so different from the men he knew in Hell's peak. Kyu had descended the short, steep step to the upper deck.

"Sasuke?" Kyu came to stand beside him, but Sasuke paid him no heed – his entire attention was riveted on Naruto. "About last night…I see that you're back to normal…what are you looking…Ah, Naruto's up to his old trick again. Oooh, he's going to have a shock, isn't it?"

"Shhh…just watch closely," Sasuke instructed. "He's not going to be shock. He's in for a nasty surprise."

As Sasuke predicted, Naruto bent, sliding his hands around Haku's waist and whispered something into Haku's ear. Haku froze, his fair skin paled and he whirled around Naruto's arms and like quicksilver, brought a hand slashing through the air. The sound of flesh striking flesh resounded across the deck and every activity stopped, all eyes on the two figures on the quarterdeck.

Naruto stood, the picture of bewilderment, as Haku lifted his chin imperiously and marched down the stairs, disappearing below deck.

Then Naruto's face contorted into a frown. He gave his most ferocious glare to anyone who even had a hint of a smile on his face.

Sasuke watched as Naruto approached him and Kyu.

"Kyu! Get down below."

Kyu was about to protest but changed his mind when Naruto glared at him.

"As for you Fujiwara. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING STARING LIKE AN IDIOT? Get to work." And he stormed off.

Sasuke wondered what exactly he had said to Haku. Obviously he had made the reference to Haku's apparent lost of virginity. It was funny, he supposed, Haku must be appalled. And yet, at that point, Sasuke would have given much to have Naruto take him into his arms and speak some small word of comfort. He felt alone, uncertain, the pain in his heart and the ache of his tender, torn flesh reminding him that he had stepped into the world of adulthood – without ever truly having been a boy.
