Day Five- Let's Fly Away
"Let's get married tonight."
Naruto turned around, facing his lover with a big smile on his face. He'd been waiting for Sasuke to mention something about the topic, but when he never did, the blond had decided to do it himself. He thought that maybe Sasuke had changed his mind about wanting to get married... but the smile on the angel's face proved that theory wrong in an instant.
"We haven't made any plans yet," Sasuke spoke softly as he ate his breakfast.
"So?" Naruto grinned and leaned forward across the table, his face practically in front of Sasuke's, invading his personal space, "Plans are for losers. Let's just get some friends together, go out for some fancy dinner, then tell each other how much we love each other, under the moon," he pecked the raven on the cheek, laughing at his puffed out cheeks full of food.
Swallowing, Sasuke leaned back, "No dresses or suits?"
Naruto blinked, "Did you want to wear a dress?"
The angel glared at him, but then smirked, "No, a dinner and vows under the moonlight sounds perfect."
Naruto's smile suddenly fell and he looked down, "Sh-shit... I just realized I don't have enough money for a ring..."
Sasuke raised his brows, "Do we need rings?"
Pouting, Naruto tapped his fingers against the table, "Rings are promises of forever... I want to have at least that to remember you..." the mood went from light and happy to heavy and thick. He sighed.
Sasuke saw the pain in his boyfriend's eyes and he moved a hand out to touch his, "Then we should wait until you do have the money... or I could go out and try to--?"
"There's only today and tomorrow, Sasuke! We don't--!" he quieted down, "we don't have enough time..." he then put on a strained smile, "but it's ok, I don't really need a stupid ring. I should just know that you'd love me forever... without having some golden band around my finger, right?"
"Right..."
xXxXx
Knocking on the front door of the apartment, Sakura tipped herself back and forth on the balls of her feet, her thin, straw sandals making small crunching noises. She wore a fitting pink dress that matched her hair, small rose earrings dangling from both ears. Frowning, she knocked again, but no sound came from inside the apartment.
"Sasuke-kun!" she called, "Naruto!" knocking again, this time louder, she yelled, "open the door! I hope you two aren't have unprotected sex!" this time, she tried the knob and blinked when the large door creaked open. She stepped in and looked around, finding nothing out of the ordinary. The television was on (Naruto liked leaving it on), there were dirty dishes in the sink, and clothes were scattered all over the floor.
Hold on... she closed the door, then bent down and lifted up a dark blue shirt, "This is Sasuke-kun's..." as if planned, a loud moan reached her ears and she jumped, letting out a frightened squeel. Glancing into the dark apartment hallway, she blushed, her face turning into a giant tomato. As you could tell, she wasn't a pervert like Ino.
Maybe... I should take a look?
Or maybe she was.
Glancing around with tight lips, she stalked forward quietly, placing her hands on the door frame of Naruto's bedroom. A quivering groan drifted out from the room and her face became even more red. It seemed that without Ino by her side, she became a blushing virgin.
"Mmmm, Naru-- ugh!" that was definitely Sasuke's voice.
Peeking through the barely open door, Sakura took in the sight of Sasuke lying on his back, eyes closed, a hand to his mouth, teeth biting deeply into pale flesh to quiet his lustful moans. His back was taut like a bow and his creamy legs were bent, thighs pressing against a head of blond that bobbed up and down between them.
Swallowing, Sakura stepped forward, her desire to speak with them overriding the part of her female brain that told her to stay back and watch. Creeping towards the bed, she moved a hand forward, touching Naruto's shoulder, "Um, Naruto?"
Eyes snapping open, Sasuke shoved his lover away and covered himself with a pillow.
Licking his lips, Naruto looked over his shoulder, seeing a blushing Sakura standing there with a nervous smile. He looked angry for a second, but then he put on a big pout, "Sakura-chan!" he whined, "I was trying to make Sasuke cum!" he said it like it was the most natural thing in the world.
Stuttering, Sakura spoke, "S-s-sorry, but Ino called and said that, um, I should help you two plan your wedding..."
Both males blinked.
"Ino sent you?" Naruto asked.
The pink-haired teen nodded, "She said she was sorry that she couldn't come to help you herself, but that she'd be here tomorrow. You two want to have it then, right?"
"How the hell does she know these things?.!" Naruto cried out, ignoring Sasuke who was sporting a massive boner (hehe XD).
Sakura smiled, "Then everyone's going to get working," she said cheerfully, "Temari's already out buying some things."
Trying to get his erection to go away, Sasuke spoke, "We only wanted a small dinner with friends."
"Oh, Ino said you'd say that, so we already set that up too!" she chirped.
Sasuke looked over at Naruto with raised brows.
"I know, fuckin' amazing, right?" the blond grinned.
Stepping out of the room, Sakura smiled, "I just came to tell you all that. Ino also gave me the name of the restuarant you'd want it to be at, so I think we have everything covered. It'll be like a surprise wedding!" she waved to them, "that's all I needed to tell you two, so I'm going to leave and help the others. Bye!" then she ran out, the sound of her sandals become less audible as she got to the front door.
"She could've just called," Naruto let out a wisp of a laugh and he plopped down on bed, his head on Sasuke's thigh. Blinking when he felt something poke him in the back of the head, he turned.
Sasuke smirked, "You forgot something, Dobe."
"That I did," Naruto got up and grinned.
xXxXx
The rest of the day went by, constant phonecalls from Kiba and Sakura about the wedding driving Naruto insane. Sasuke just sat next to the blond on the sofa, a cup of tea in his hands. Taking a sip, he glanced over at the clock, noting that it would be dark soon. He leaned over, placing his head on Naruto's shoulder. He didn't know why, but he felt lonely, even with his lover right beside him.
Looking down at the mop of black hair, Naruto smiled faintly and took the cup from Sasuke's hands, sitting it on the table beside him. Taking a pale hand in his, he whispered, "I know, I feel it too."
"We shouldn't be sitting here doing nothing," Sasuke stated.
Naruto ran his thumb up and down Sasuke's fingers lovingly, "Then let's go somewhere..." he grinned, "fly me into the sky, Sasuke."
Chuckling, the raven pulled away, "I wish I could... but I do know somewhere that'll take you up just as high."
xXxXx
"My mother used to take me here all the time when I was little," Sasuke looked out over the expanse of buildings from the very top of the Tokyo tower, the night making everything much more beautiful. He glanced over and saw Naruto. He wasn't smiling, but his eyes showed his happiness.
"Did you know... that I wanted to come here with you?" he asked his lover, "when we were younger... I wanted to come here with you on my birthday, but my mom yelled at me and said I couldn't go," he laughed, "I should've just ran away with you, anyway," looking up, he watchd a plane pass overhead. His hands gripped the red railing of the tower, "if I would've known... you'd die just a month after that... I would've gone against her..."
Sasuke leaned forward and crossed his arms over the rail, "Let's not talk about the past. Let's talk about the future."
Naruto stared at the raven, his face impassive.
"When spring comes, we should go to Okinawa and explore the caves," Sasuke smiled, "and in the summer, let's go to Hokkaido and stay in an inn by the mountains."
His lips twitching upward, despite the ache in his heart, Naruto nodded, "We should pick a bunch of flowers for Itachi's grave, too."
"Yeah," inhaling the night air, Sasuke smiled again, "he'd like that."
Naruto felt like crying. He wanted to keep on with the cherade... act as if they had their whole lives ahead of them. But they didn't. Sasuke would be gone... and once he left, Naruto would die with him. His very heart would leave with him.
Behind them, a few girls came up to look out over the city as well. They spoke in what Naruto thought to be Korean. Suddenly, one of the girls' phones went off, the tone of the ring making Naruto look back out at the city, his eyes drying from the crisp breeze that washed over his skin.
Baby, you can fly away...
Was so in love
Let him go
If it's meant to be
He'll come back home...
Naruto chuckled, "Let's fly away."
Sasuke didn't reply, instead he laid his head on his folded arms, his eyes closing. Sometimes, he didn't even want to be around Naruto. Not because he didn't love him, but because the blond just made him want to cry. And as their time together continued to diminish, he wondered if he should still keep in those tears...
The two girls began walking around to the other side, not noticing how Naruto's knuckles turned white as he gripped the railing harder, his brows furrowing, teeth gritting.
"Why not just me?.!" he yelled out at the sky, surprising Sasuke and scaring the teenagers, causing them to run down the stairs. He growled in frustration, "he didn't do anything to you!"
The raven realized that Naruto was yelling at Kyuubi, even though he wasn't there. His eyes softened and he sighed, "Yelling's not going to do anything, Dobe, let's just go. We have a wedding to plan, remember?" he gave his lover a smile, despite his own desire to yell at the demon.
Holding back another outburst, Naruto crossed his arms, "If that bastard was here I'd beat the shit out of him, if that'd somehow keep you here with me," he grumbled, making his way down the steps. Sasuke followed behind him, thinking the same exact thing.
"Sasuke, Uzumaki-kun," Kakashi stood a few steps below them, Iruka by his side.
Sasuke was surprised. He'd thought that the silver-haired man would stay away from him after the last Kyuubi incident. Kakashi seemed to have caught on to the raven's thought and he chuckled, his arm slithering around Iruka's shoulder's, the tan man smiling beautifully.
"I did it of my own free will, Sasuke. I helped you in your quest to discover your memories, and for that, I must be punished," he pointed behind him, "I've already had my wings ripped off."
Naruto's eyes widened, Is... the same thing going to happen to Kakashi? he looked over to Iruka, the older man looking down at the ground, He's going to lose the person he loves, too...
"You didn't deserve a punishment that severe," Sasuke growled.
Kakashi scratched the back of his neck, a smile obvious under his mask, "Don't speak in past tense, Sasuke, I'm still receiving a punishment. I believe... it's quite similar to the one he's giving you and Uzumaki-kun."
Clenching his fists, Naruto ran away from them, down the many flights of metal stairs. He ignored the calls from his lover, his feet refusing to stop, and he almost ran into a few people on the way down. Once he reached the bottom of the tower, he slowed down, snowflakes falling from the sky, getting into his messy blond hair and settling atop his thick coat.
"Naruto!" Sasuke called, reaching him, "what's wrong, why did you--"
The blond sharply turned, his ocean blue eyes turning dark, "Let's fly away," he gripped onto Sasuke's coat, his smile desperate, "please," he begged, "let's just leave this place, run from him. Even if we can only keep him away for another few days, that's ok... Just... I can't stand it here. Being stuck in my apartment knowing that soon you'll be taken away from me... I need to do something!"
Sasuke took Naruto's hands, "He'll catch us before we even leave," his smile was bitter, "this is... this is our fate, you can't change it."
"But you don't even fuckin' deserve this 'fate'!" Naruto shouted, yanking his hands away. People around them were beginning to stare, but neither of the teens could care less, "neither you or Kakashi deserve it! What the hell did you two do? Nothing! You wanted to remember who you were, you wanted to know why you weren't among the living... Wanting to know that kind of stuff isn't a crime! And Kakashi wanted to help you because he basically raised you in Purgatory, right? He wanted you to know, to be happy, and he gets a punishment, too?.! I don't get Kyuubi at all!"
"That's how it works in Purgatory, Naruto..." Sasuke trailed off, his desire to let the tears out causing his eyes to water.
Sighing, Naruto sat down on an empty bench, snow continuing to fall around him. Sasuke sat down beside him and the blond leaned against him, his warm breath coming out in steamy puffs. They stayed like that for a while, their bodies wanting more warmth, but not making any moves to do so.
"What'll I do once your gone...?" Naruto asked, staring down at the sticking snow by his feet.
"You'll move on, like everyone else."
Naruto looked over at him, face blank.
"No one around us knows us, they don't know what's going to happen, what has already happened. They don't care. They only care when something we do effects them, but then they eventually forget about it... When I'm gone, you'll act like them. Once it happens, you'll grieve, but then you'll forget and move on with your life," Sasuke stated, his cheeks becoming red from the cold.
"What if I don't move on? What if I become so depressed that I kill myself?"
"I don't know why you'd want to kill yourself, Dobe, I won't be there on the other side waiting."
Lips twitching upward, Naruto stood, grabbing Sasuke's and pulling him up as well, "That's true," he whispered. They walked back to Naruto's apartment, the both of them talking quietly about how there was probably hundreds of messages left on Naruto's cellphone which he had left at home.
"What do you think it will be like?" Sasuke asked suddenly.
"Hm?"
"Being a spirit stuck in your house," the question wasn't meant to bring up bad thoughts, "hopefully you won't bring home tons of men."
Naruto laughed, blushing a bit when he snorted.
Sasuke smirked.
"I doubt I'd bring a bunch of men over knowing you're sitting at my table watching me," Naruto's eye twitched, "you know, that actually sounds pretty damn creepy," he laughed, his fingers lacing with his lover's, "do you think you could stay in the closet or something? Maybe in the food cupboard?"
Halting their movements, Sasuke pushed Naruto back, pressing him against the side of a building. People walking by watched them in fascination, some actually stopping to watch the scene play out. The raven leaned forward and caught his dobe's rosy red lips with his, his tongue caressing them. They both closed their eyes and enjoyed the sensual kiss, tongues pressing against each other, lips meshing together softly.
Moving away, Sasuke whispered, "I plan on hanging around in your room, watching you undress, watching you pleasure yourself when you think of me, watching you sleep..."
Blinking slowly when his boyfriend pulled away, Naruto grinned stupidly, his cheeks flushed.
xXxXx
Rolling over in bed, Naruto stared at Sasuke's sleeping face, raven locks falling over his cheek as he breathed softly. Sitting up, the blond looked out the window, the snow continuing to fall. After they had fallen asleep, Naruto had started thinking about their wedding. He really wanted to have a ring for Sasuke...
Slowly crawling out of bed, Naruto pulled on the clothes he'd discarded on the floor earlier. Pulling on his coat, he gave one more glance to Sasuke before shutting the door and going into the living room. He went into the kitchen, pulling a large jar off of the fridge. Taking the top off, he smiled down at a bunch of rolled up money.
"I guess I won't be going to college anytime soon," he sighed and took as much out as he thought he needed.
xXxXx
"My, what brings you out to my shop at such an ungodly hour?" an older gentlemen limped over to the counter when Naruto walked in, his large spectacles making his grey eyes look larger than normal. He licked his dry lips and adjusted his tie.
Smiling, Naruto answered, "I'm here looking for a ring. I'm getting married soon..." he glanced around at all of the glass cases filled with jewlery.
"But you look so young!" the man exclaimed, "how old are you, boy?"
"15, sir," Naruto replied.
The old man chuckled, "And you're getting married? This must be one special girl."
The blond grinned, ignoring the girl part, "Yep!"
"Then go ahead and look around, I'll ring you up when you're done."
Bending down, Naruto looked through the cases. He'd brought a good bit of money and could afford a 20 karet diamond at the most. Eyes sparkling when he found the perfect one, he called the old man over, telling him to take it out.
"I want that one," he said happily.
"Ah, good choice," the man closed the little box it was in and handed it to Naruto, "50,000 yen, please."
Handing him the money and taking his receipt, Naruto pocketed the ring and grinned to himself, "Thank you!" then he ran out of the store, excited. Yes, he gave up his chance at college for Sasuke, but... it was Sasuke, how could he not? Slowing down after he almost slipped on ice, he looked up and saw the Tokyo Tower. He blinked. Had he really ran that far in order to buy Sasuke's ring?(1) Deciding that he didn't really want to go back home yet, he made his way across the street. But then he saw that the tower was closed, a chain closing it off.
He wanted to go up because, really, he needed to think about some things, and home wasn't the best place. Ducking under the chain, he quickly ran up the stairs, reaching the top within two minutes. A cold breeze washed over him, but he didn't care.
"One day left..." he whispered, standing by the rail. He ran his fingers across the cold metal, not pulling away when they became numb, "maybe... I can convince him to run with me... even just three more days would be enough for me..." he chuckled lightly, "who am I kidding? It won't be enough until he can stay with me forever."
"And that's not going to happen," a deep voice hissed into his ear.
Turning sharply, blue eyes met with deep incarnadine red. He backed up, but his back hit the rail and he swallowed thickly, "Wh-what are you--"
"Why are you so afraid of me, Naruto-kun?" the angel smirked tauntingly, "why, just a few hours earlier, you were telling Sasuke how you'd 'beat the shit out of me', correct? Then why don't you do it? I'm right here."
Naruto's body shook.
"I thought so," he ran his long nails down a tan neck, drawing blood, "and what is this I hear about you wanting to run away with Sasuke?" his smirk turned into a scowl, long, dark orange bangs covering one of his glowing eyes, "running away will make me very angry," he hissed, "and I think... that you deserve punishment, Naruto-kun."
Moving to the side, Naruto ran, his heart beating wildly. He was able to make it to the steps, but then a clawed hand caught him, nails digging into the skin of his arm. He was harshly turned around and slammed against the wall, hot breath warming his ear. He felt his body shaking violently as Kyuubi chuckled.
"You've been doing things to make Sasuke go against my wishes... then you do things to anger me, as well," he whispered hotly, "you knew you were playing with fire, but I suppose you didn't think you'd get burned?"
Naruto's face was shoved against the wall and he hissed in pain, "G-get the fuck off of me!" he growled, even though he was scared to death.
"I don't think so," Kyuubi turned his prey around and smirked at the utter fear that flickered in Naruto's eyes, "and do you know what I'm going to do to you? As punishment?" he bent down until his lips were against the blond's ear.
Naruto flinched and tightly shut his eyes.
Warm lips moved against the shell of his ear.
"I'm going to break you."
(1)- I know, it's weird that Naruto's the one getting Sasuke the ring, but like I said before. I still see him as the seme. I'm only making Sasuke top now because I wanna please my reviewers :mumbles:
Whoever can guess what's going to happen in the end, I'll write you a special smutty story with any plot, kinky toys, positions that you want. I'll even draw a picture to go with it! Hell yeah! Get to guessin', bitches:hearts:
