Chapter Eight
Sasuke smiled softly as Naruto bobbed down on the curving path to hold out his finger to a small sparrow. The bird twittered at him before hopping onto the outstretched finger.
Sasuke squeezed Naruto's other hand which was still entwined with his. He refused to let it go.
Naruto smiled as the bird chirped at him. The small sparrow reminded him of his little birds, the ones that still lived in his room here at the palace. Everyday they flew in from the beautiful gardens to chirp at him. They had moved in after Naruto had begged Iruka to collect them when the Grand Duke had returned to his old residence for his things.
"Dobe," Sasuke murmured with another squeeze to Naruto's hand. Naruto glared up at him, but his eyes were sparkling.
"Don't call me that, teme!" he snapped as he rose. He smiled at the bird on his finger before the sparrow darted off. Sasuke immediately moved in front of Naruto, taking his other hand. Naruto smiled, stepping closer to the raven and looking up at him. Sasuke returned the smile, looking down into his dobe's love-filled eyes.
"Naruto," Sasuke said softly. Naruto's eyes soften and he moved closer, pushing his chest against Sasuke's. "We need to talk…"
Naruto blinked a couple of times; panic, alarm, fear and dread flashing in his eyes. Sasuke's eyes widened momentarily as he realized what was flashing through Naruto's mind. He released his hands quickly before wrapping them around Naruto securely, burrowing his face in Naruto's golden locks.
"Dobe," he growled against the blonde's hair. "I just got you back, I'm keeping you. Forever."
Naruto relaxed completely in Sasuke's arms, clutching him tightly. Sasuke dragged Naruto over towards a nearby bench in the garden, sitting down and pulling the blonde onto his lap. Naruto squeaked, squirming in Sasuke's grasp. Sasuke simply tightened his grip on the blonde, resting his chin on Naruto's shoulder.
"Dobe," he murmured. "…you need to tell me why you ran away…"
Naruto stiffened, instantly becoming a board in Sasuke's arm.
"I-I can't…" he whispered. "Please Sasuke! Don't ask me that!"
Sasuke narrowed his eyes, resettling his grip on the blonde.
"Naruto," he said in a growl. "You need to tell me. I have to know."
"Y-You don't," Naruto said as he shook his head. "No! I-I can't tell you!"
"Naruto!" Sasuke snapped, tilting him in his arms to get a look at him. Naruto shrieked, wrapping his arms around Sasuke's neck. "Tell me, dobe!"
"No!" Naruto shouted, struggling out of Sasuke's arms. "No!"
Naruto leapt to his feet, running down the path. Sasuke followed, eyes narrowed. Naruto had run from him once (God knows why) and he wasn't going to do it again!
"Naruto!" Sasuke shouted. "Stop! Please!"
Naruto kept going. He couldn't tell Sasuke about Tsunade. Not only would Sasuke not believe him, but he would think he's crazy.
Something hit Naruto from behind, sending the blonde sprawling. Naruto shrieked as Sasuke wrapped his arms around the blonde, rolling them over so he was pinning Naruto to the path.
"No!" Naruto cried. "No! You won't believe me! You'll think I'm crazy!"
Sasuke frowned at the blonde from his position of straddling Naruto's hips.
"Crazy?" Sasuke asked puzzled. "Why would I think you're crazy?"
Naruto's eyes filled with tears as he looked up at Sasuke. He didn't want Sasuke to think he was crazy. Sasuke narrowed his eyes, leaning down to nuzzle Naruto's neck.
"Naruto," he purred. "Tell me…"
Naruto's breath caught as Sasuke planted soft kisses on his neck before he began to suck on the tan column, leaving marks that could be seen from out of space.
"S-Sasuke…" Naruto moaned. "Oh…"
"Dobe," Sasuke whispered against a new mark. "Tell me…"
"Ngh… no…" Naruto mewled. "No… ahh!"
Sasuke soothed the new mark with a couple of kisses and his tongue. Naruto sighed softly, but his sigh turned into a moan as Sasuke ground down on Naruto's member. Naruto bucked up against Sasuke, wanting more of the delicious friction.
"Tell me…" Sasuke whispered. "Please…"
Naruto's wide eyes softened, a small light that always shone in them fading.
"I- I have a fairy Godmother…" he whispered, looking to the side. "Sh-She did it… she made me look like that… but it wore off at Midnight…"
Sasuke stared down at the blonde with wide eyes as Naruto's own eyes slid close. A soft smile crept onto the Uchiha's face and he leaned down to kiss Naruto softly.
"First of all, dobe," he murmured as Naruto's eyes flittered open. "You look beautiful all the time. All the time."
Naruto flushed, looking to the side.
"Teme…" he mumbled. "I'm a guy, I'm not beautiful…"
"You're beautiful," Sasuke said firmly. "Beautiful, gorgeous and stunning. And you're not crazy."
Sasuke sighed softly as Naruto continued to stare at him. The raven rose, pulling Naruto up with him and straight into his arms.
"I was away for six months straight," Sasuke informed the blonde. "I was going to be gone for longer, but…"
"But what?" Naruto whispered. Sasuke sighed.
"I have a fairy Godfather…" he muttered. Naruto blinked a couple of times. "Don't give me that look, dobe."
"A fairy Godfather!?" Naruto repeated. Sasuke nodded.
"He showed up one day when I was deciding where I would travel next and he showed up, screaming about youth and spring."
"Youth and spring?" Naruto asked incredulously. "Well, at least yours wasn't a drunk…"
"Hn, dobe," Sasuke muttered as he pulled Naruto closer. "I would have preferred a drunk to this 'Gai.' He was wearing a green jumpsuit."
Naruto snickered against Sasuke's chest at the image.
"And orange leg warmers,"
"…"
"He had a bowl cut,"
"…"
"And giant eyebrows,"
Naruto lost it. He collapsed completely into Sasuke's arms, laughing hysterically. Sasuke rolled his eyes, shaking the blonde slightly.
"The point, dobe," he growled. "Is that he told me to return home. I don't know why, but I did. And I met you."
Naruto's laughter died and he smiled up at Sasuke. He leaned up to peck Sasuke lightly on the lips.
"So you don't think I'm crazy," Naruto said with a smile. Sasuke shook his head. "Oh thank God…"
"So it wore of at Midnight?" Sasuke asked. Naruto nodded, nuzzling Sasuke's chest. "And you ran away why?"
"Because the clothes would go," Naruto mumbled. "And I'd just be me again."
Sasuke rolled his eyes, kissing Naruto softly.
"Usuratonkachi," he muttered. "It doesn't matter what you wear, I still love you."
Naruto grinned, pulling Sasuke back down to his mouth.
"I love you too," he whispered. "So much…"
Sasuke attacked the blonde's mouth, sucking on the bottom lip before slipping his tongue straight into the waiting mouth. He lapped up Naruto's taste happily, wrapping his tongue around Naruto's and massaging it lightly, drawing a moan from the blonde.
It was intoxicating.
"Sasuke…" Naruto moaned as he drew back. "Oh Sasuke…"
Sasuke licked Naruto's lips once more before smiling at the blonde.
"Well, Naruto," he purred. "If you're so concerned about what clothes you wear around me, maybe you shouldn't wear any…"
"Sasuke!" Naruto shrieked. "Don't say that!"
"Mmm I have to," Sasuke murmured. "I want to be honest with you, love, and I honestly want to strip you down and fuck you into the ground…"
"Sasuke!" Naruto shouted. "Shh!"
Naruto clamped a hand over Sasuke's mouth, glaring at the raven. He could still see the smirk in Sasuke's eyes.
"Ok, so I want that too," Naruto hissed. "But at least I don't say it out loud!"
Sasuke moaned against Naruto's hand. He slid his hands from the blonde's waist down to the dobe's ass, which he gave a firm squeeze.
"Sasuke!" Naruto screeched. "If you're going to be like that I'm not going to let you touch me at all!"
Before the raven could react Naruto was gone. He was stalking down the path angrily, towards the palace.
"Dobe," Sasuke called as he began to follow. "Dobe! …Naruto!"
As Naruto vanished inside Sasuke realized that the blonde might actually be serious.
He would have to fix that.
