Argh, I forgot my author's note fer a sec...

Here's the next chappie! Also, this chappie has hinting for the theme of my next story. (It should be quite obvious.)

Alsooo, some anatomy class for joo! (So yes, there is some heavy description, but not worse than what you've already read ;D)

Some people don't really know what a cloaca is. Here is a bit of 411 on that: A cloaca is found on some species of animals, like birds and reptiles. Its basically an outer "sheath" that the reproductive organs are held in. For females it could be considered just an extra layer for their vagina, but for males their penises are actually kept inside until the organ is aroused/ready for mating. Naturally, all parts of the organs are internal as well, such as testicles, which will be kinda shown later.

Also...not sure if what Sasuke will do to Naru later is physically possible, but lets say for the sake of yaoi lovers, it is ;D

"I remember... there was mist. Swirling mist upon a vast glassy lake..."

After cleaning up from their activities and Sasuke deciding that he'd take a day off work, they were now curled up next to each other, as best as they could, on a squishy quilt that was set beneath them. They laid back against one of the desks. Naruto was currently enthralled in the movie playing on the portable TV Sasuke also had brought in for them, while the raven was a bit more distracted by the figure next to him.

"Christine took off his mask!" The plant suddenly gasped, leaning forward a bit more with wide eyes.

Sasuke nodded with an affirmed noise, not really paying attention, staring quietly at the blond and observing him with an unbidden fascination. This plant...no, not 'this plant', that didn't sound right...Naruto...had he cast some sort of spell over him? It seemed like there was no more room in his body to adore the creature more than he already did. He never loved liked this..although he'd never shown an interest in anyone before. It was kind of ironic that the first thing he'd have affections for was also the fruits of his studies.

Speaking of which, his object of affection suddenly noticed the stare and was glancing over at him, curious blue eyes observing him. "Are you ok, Sasuke?" The question was asked with a gentleness, the other couldn't help but smile.

"Sorry, it's just..." trailing off, the Uchiha glanced away, looking a bit nervous, and very flushed at the fact he was caught. "I was daydreaming. Being around you helps me relax enough to do so.."

The plant smiled and snuggled closer, pleased at what the man said to him, and still shocked at what they had done not that long ago. He thought it'd be hopeless to have a crush on the man, being a plant and all. On all the TV shows he saw, it was only humans with humans, which made perfect sense inside Naruto's brain, but still, one part of him dared to hope. And to think his feelings were actually returned...that made him happy all over.

"Naruto is...happy." He finally said aloud, staring at the movie but a bit too into thought to pay attention. When he saw the Uchiha glance at him from the corner of his eye, he blushed a bit, continuing, "Naruto...was sure that Sasuke wouldn't...care about me, the way Naruto did."

That startled the raven a bit, not thinking about the fact that the other could have been harboring such feelings before this. "You mean that...you felt that way before this?"

The plant-boy nodded, one corner of his mouth tilted upwards. "Naruto wasn't going to say anything, because...well, Naruto is a plant, and-"

"You thought it might be wrong?" Sasuke didn't wait for the answer, he just pulled the boy closer. "That may be true to some, but I don't think of you as a plant, Naru...you can talk, and laugh...and get angry or sad...you feel emotions, and you can think and act just like any human I know. That's enough reasons for me."

The plant actually flushed enough to actually be seen, and he smiled at the words, leaning to place a kiss on the man's lips. Deciding that was enough for now, they laid back together once more, focused on the fictional couple that wasn't going as well as they were at the moment.

"Fear can turn to love...you'll learn to see; to find the man behind the monster."

In a strange sense, Sasuke almost thought of him and Naruto as a married couple.

He would come home for work, after a very long day of work, usually filled with people he didn't like (especially Sai and Sakura, they were the perfect bastard couple) and paperwork that had to be done as usual. And though the blond couldn't very well cook or clean the house like a 'wife' could, he would always be there waiting for him, and that was enough for the scientist. Sasuke, when he was in a better mood, would sometimes even call out, 'Lucy-I'm home!' just to please his lover.

The Uchiha, who was never really good at culinary arts from the beginning, would make something simple for the both of them, and spend his time in the greenhouse with the plant-boy until he felt like it was both of their bed times. Sometimes he went into his own room to sleep, but most of the time he would camp put on the futon mattress that he had given Naruto to lay on. It was big enough for the both of them as long as they were close enough, and usually they were. It seemed like they couldn't get enough of each other.

Which was true at the given moment, where they were currently on said bed, though no sleeping was getting done.

Under the blankets, the usually naked Naruto wasn't alone in sporting his birthday suit. Pressed up against each other and sweating, they were currently taking their time in exploring each other's bodies, being sure not to neglect any missed spot.

Naruto was on top this time, although they were faced opposite ways, each of their most intimate parts aligned with the other's face. The plant had careful not to smother his weight on the other as he was currently lapping at a pale hipbone that stuck out and was begging to be relished with attention. The raven haired man was making the most wonderful sounds below him, obviously telling him that he was doing a good job.

Though it was his turn to groan when a hot puff of air teased over his crotch. "D-don't tease Naruto like that..."

"What are you saying? You're the one driving me crazy with the teasing," the human muttered breathlessly, but nevertheless used his mouth against the straining erection hovering above his face, using slow and gentle movements to start out with. In compliance, his own erection was given the same treatment.

As he continued to lavish love on the body above him, Sasuke had an idea in mind, but he had to be extremely careful and make sure it didn't actually end up hurting his lover. Making sure to wet his fingers, he carefully placed the coated digits against the skin of the boy's pouch, letting the tips tease the edge, barely slipping inside along with the hard member.

"S-Sasuke..." The blond choked out, surprised but apparently enjoying the very sensitive treatment. Encouraged, the ivory fingers slowly slipped inside, carefully rubbing the inner walls, wondering how far down he could go.

Though he suddenly focused his attention on the panting, slowly slumping body above him. Carefully, without removing his hand, he coaxed the other to roll onto his back. Staring down at the writhing, moaning boy, he murmured quietly, "Is it too much?"

At the shake of his head, the explored further, slipping in until his whole hand was trapped between the heated skin and the twitching, hard muscle. Those curious fingers rubbed down as far as they could go, and surprisingly they realized they were holding something that was heavy and hot in the cup of his hand. It took him a second to comprehend, but then he realized exactly what he was feeling and squeezed gently.

That move alone instantly caused the body beneath him to buck, eyes wide and near scream erupting as he came, spraying that hot, sticky sweet fluid across his own stomach in large spurts. All the while Sasuke watched, enthralled at the scene. He never thought having your balls played with would be so stimulating, but it made sense, since Naruto's were internal and never touched.

"How was it?" Though the question wasn't really necessary; the wide grin answered plenty.

"Damn bastards..."

Sasuke entered the quiet sanctuary of his house, his foot kicking the door open as his hands were too full with groceries to do anything. Sighing with relief, he nudged the door closed and went to set the bags on the counter. He was glad to be home in his house. Not only was he eager to get away from work for the day, he really wanted to go visit his little blond. So, quickly putting everything away and fixing both of them a snack, he went out to the greenhouse once more.

"Naruto, I'm home," he said, coming in with a large bowl of ramen for the both of them to share. He blinked, immediately taking in the quiet. Although there wasn't complete silence, just no excited words or laughter. With a frown, he glanced around the room, taking in the sights of his other plants and his work tables. And then he slowly looked over to that large orange pot that sat nearby.

The Naruto that awaited him wasn't the one he knew. Not the grinning, happy and energetic creature that always greeted him when he came home. The plant-boy was curled up as best he could on the large mattress Sasuke laid out for him. He was underneath the thicker blanket, main body hidden from the world, although it was obvious he was under there by his large vine of a body disappearing underneath the material. Frowning at the scene, the Uchiha briefly wondered if he was asleep.

Then a tired looking face poked his head out from the cacoon of bedding material. And Sasuke realized something was terribly wrong.
