next big thing12: Alright, so here it is, the next chapter. Now, beware, this chapter is a LEMON. It contains sexual themes, a bit of fluff, and a lot of smut. I tried oh so very hard to make them stay in character, and I hope I succeeded!

Also, I have to explain something to you. The first three chapters of this story are what is known as the prologue. Then, there will be 3 Acts following that. Act I is called "A Lover's World", Act II is called "A Couple's Madness", and Act III will be called "A Star-Crossed Pair". I'm looking at about 5-10 chapters for each Act.

And by the way, I'm looking for someone who would like to work with me on this story. If you think you might be interested, let me know and I'll review your stories and get back to you on whether or not I'd like to work with you. In order to collaborate, I'll send you my first draft of the story through email, you'll send me back your version with your changes and/or suggestions, and I'll revise the final copy and you'll tell me what you think.

And that's all for now, please enjoy and please review!

Chapter Two:

The Night Two Became One

"I feel alive beside you,

And all at once I am whole again.

We fall into each other,

Your atmosphere is all I'm breathing in.

And in this rush, we are crushed."


Naruto grunted as his back hit the bed, the sound cut short as Sasuke's lips crashed down on his once more. Then, as quickly as they had come, the lips were gone, instead finding themselves pressed to his neck. The Uchiha seemed to be everywhere around him, crashing down in every place that mattered.

He was there, in the nips and bites on his neck. He was there, in the hands pressed to his waist and throat. He was there, in the lean and muscular body Naruto could feel moving and flexing against his own. He was there in every single kiss that he dared to lay on him.

Naruto managed to wrap his legs around his waist, the feeling of bare skin on bare skin, all other clothes except their boxers long forgotten on their way to Sasuke's bedroom. Suddenly he felt the return of his teme's lips on his own, their tongues moving in those already too familiar rhythmic patterns. He wove his fingers through the raven locks, pulling him closer and closer, wanting every single inch of him he could get. Sasuke pressed his body down onto his dobe's, and they both softly moaned into their kiss as their erections rubbed against each other.

"Sasuke...," Naruto breathed when his lips went back to ravishing his neck. I want to tell you how much I love you, but I'm afraid you'll tell me that it's just the alcohol talking.

He could feel Sasuke's hands sliding down his body, his chest, his stomach... and finally stopping at his boxers.

"Naruto," Sasuke breathed huskily into his ear, "I want you to say my name."

And with that, Naruto felt his boxers slide carefully over his throbbing member and off of him completely. "Sssasuke... Please."

"Yes?" Sasuke said, trailing a finger down his arousal. "What do you want from me…Naruto?"

"I want..," he said, half opening his lust glazed eyes to look down at the raven. "I want you to..." But he was cut off by a scream of pleasure as the Uchiha took his tip into his mouth, swirling his tongue around it. His eyes slammed shut and he threw his head back, onto the silky satin sheets as his body shook in ecstasy. "Ahh, Sasuke..."

The raven deep throated him, moaning and feeling his own erection grow at the reaction he got when the blond felt the vibrations.

"Ahh! Sasuke! Oh, Saaasukeee..." Truthfully, I wonder how much of what your doing is the alcohol.

The Uchiha climbed back on top of the blond, licking a bead of sweat that started to trickle down his throat. Naruto moaned softly in reply before dragging his head up to place a passionate kiss on his teme's lips. They remained like that for a time - lips locked in a passionate embrace, their bodies moving together, moaning into each other's mouths. When they pulled away, Naruto watched as Sasuke sat up and slowly slid his boxers down. "Sasuke..."

"Hn. Why did you stop calling me 'Ske? Eh?"

Taken aback by the sudden question, Naruto couldn't get the words to come out of his mouth, though he knew exactly what the answer was. Because it's nothing, just a useless, drunk nick name. It does nothing for how much I feel for you, nothing for how much I love you. This has nothing to do with sex, or alcohol, or being apart for so long. This has solely to do with the fact that I've loved you for years, and I'm finally able to show you just how much.

Naruto didn't have time to think any more. Sasuke had his lips pressed to his neck again, his body gently pressed down on him. Their erections now at their full state, it was almost torture to just be rubbing them against each other like this. "Sasuke... Please... Take me... I don't care how...," he breathed when the Uchiha grinded his hips fiercely against his own.

"Answer my... question, dobe..." Again, he thrust their hips together.

"Ahh! Sasuke... It's... It's because I..." he gulped, trying to get the words to come out. I want to tell you, but I don't know how. Please, help me with that. "I wanted to see how you would react. What you would do. What you would call me." A lie. A horrible, terrible lie. Such a grave sin had been committed here. How could I say that? What will he say? Will he detect the false note in my voice?

But the Uchiha just grunted in response, finally removing his own boxers. "I don't know if I… believe you, dobe… But I certainly don't care too much… for casual conversation during sex."

Had he done this before…? Naruto wondered. Maybe in the Sound…? His thoughts were taken from him as he felt something prodding at his entrance, and he opened his eyes – just realizing that they had been closed for quite a while – and stared down at Sasuke, who had positioned himself over Naruto.

"Naruto… I'm going to do it now…"

A warning…? The blond couldn't help but to smile. How kind of him… Maybe he really does care…

And suddenly the world was burst into black, yet white, as Naruto slammed his eyes shut and let out a choked gurgle of a scream. It was everywhere… The pleasure, the pain… It was in his very heart and soul, taking him from the very depths of his stomach, and yet the very depths of his ass at the same time. Oh, how he hated but loved the Uchiha. Loved to hate, but hated to hate in hating to love. But he did love him – that much was true. That much was given.

"S… Sasuke…"

"Hn… Un… Naruto…"

I love you, Sasuke. From the depths of my soul.

When the raven collapsed on the bed, it moved in a way that made Naruto shudder. Everything that had happened just now seemed like a dream. A sweet fantasy. He wondered vaguely if it was just the alcohol playing tricks on him. It moved way too fast, but at the same time, so slowly, not slow enough…

Before drifting off to sleep, he let the words "I love you" escape his lips, and could have sworn he heard the raven say "I know" before the darkness devoured him.

"Carry me down; roll it in your arms,

'Cause I can't remember ever falling this hard.

Tell me tonight, all that we have been,

Was it nothing more than noise inside my head?

Crashing down, crashing down,

In your avalanche."

- Avalanche by David Cook

next big thing12: How horrible am I at writing sex scenes, you guys? I tried hard, really I did. It ended up being terribly cliche and extremely corny. But oh well.

I probably won't write another lemon, but who knows?

Again, let me know about the collaboration and review with comments and/or critisizm!

P.S. Isn't this just a perfect song for this chapter? I thought it fit quite nicely. I greatly admire David Cook's new music.
