Disclaimer: Awww hell I don't own Naruto. Or the song for that matter.
This sorta turned into a songfic. So if you don't like songfics I guess you can just sorta skip over the lyrics, they're in italics. The part goes really well with the song, and just so you know I had the Muse version in mind not the original. If you have it you should listen to it.
Ayways, hope you like it!
On Friday the whole school was buzzing about Sakura's party. Teacher's even seemed more relaxed, though very few dressed up for the teacher costume contest, with the exception of Kakashi who dressed as the phantom from Phantom of the Opera and Anko who dressed up as a dominatrix woman. Lot's of students dressed up, and at lunch a boy dressed as Marilyn Monroe won the contest.
For the first time Sasuke was getting swept up in the excitement of the children's holiday. Not even as a kid did he enjoy Halloween, he hated candy. And his father never let him go trick or treating or to any haunted houses. At first Sasuke thought it was because he actually cared but Itachi quickly shredded that glimmer of hope. Itachi said if an Uchiha were to die from poisoned candy it would cause too big of a scandal. But this year was different, this year he would have Naruto so he kept his ears peeled for what everyone was saying. (This year Naruto was going to be there so he kept his ears peeled to what everyone was saying.
Sasuke sat in English looking through a newspaper for his current event. He listened to his table mates talk about Halloween. Lee wanted to dress up as his uncle Gai. Kiba laughed and called him stupid but when he said he wanted to dress up as a dog, Sasuke couldn't help but let out a silent laugh. He hid his face with the newspaper and concentrated on an article about levitation and how it was possible on a micro scale. He decided on that article if he didn't find anything interesting. About halfway through the class he almost gave up, when he turned to the Local Section.
On the Headline it read: 'Uzumaki Naruto a private interview'. Underneath was a picture of the smiling blonde and there was another picture halfway down of his car. In tiny captions it read: Naruto leaving on his first day of school.
Sasuke frowned; Naruto hadn't told him anything about an article. He focused his full attention on it and started reading. He was disappointed to find most questions the newspaper had asked him, Naruto had already told Sasuke himself, except at the bottom of the article.
Naruto you've been acting for only 5 short years, what inspired you to act?
I don't know it looked fun so I asked my guardian if I could act too and he actually took me seriously. He took me to auditions and they liked the color of my hair so they chose me and here I am.
Speaking of your guardian, you're always so secret about him and your real parents, any comment?
None whatsoever, I should be able to say what stays private in my own life.
Sasuke looked over at the blonde now sitting across the room. He was laughing his head off with Shikamaru. Sasuke looked at the teacher to see if he cared the class was so loud. However, Jiryaya just sat at his desk, giggling pervertedly. Sasuke looked away disgusted remembering what Naruto told him.
The bell rang three times. Jiraya cleared his throat, "finish your current event for homework." Everyone groaned he heard Naruto groan loudest.
"I'm glad Anko's being easy on us!" Naruto said sarcastically. "Perfect way to end the week, a test!"
The test would last an entire period, or at least that's what Anko said, and if they finished early they had to remain quiet at their desk. It's like she wanted the test to last long it was six pages. They took the test silently and obediently. Sasuke finished his test halfway through and Naruto finished 10 minutes after him.
Sasuke sat reading peacefully. When Naruto handed in his test he went back to his chair and sat down lazily. He remained still for a minute then began twiddling his thumbs. After awhile he seemed to get bored with that, so he put his head on the desk.
"Sasuke" Naruto whispered.
Sasuke pretended not to hear him.
"Sasuke" The whisper got louder.
"Sasuke" Sasuke's eye twitched.
He turned glaring at him, "What do you want?" he asked quietly.
"I'm bored."
Sasuke rolled his eyes and turned back to his book and without turning back said "Read a book or something."
"I'm not a boring loser like you."
Sasuke concentrated on his book again.
"Hey Sasuke do you like cheese?"
"What?!" he almost yelled.
Naruto kept his head on the desk. "Do you like cheese? I do but it gives me gas, I love mozzarella."
Sasuke gave up and put his head down so that he faced Naruto. No wonder the blonde always did it, it was comfortable. Their eyes met and Naruto lifted his hand and touched the back of Sasuke's neck. "You should get your hair cut it's getting long."
"Ah! Leave me alone for chrissake!" Sasuke turned the other way. The place Naruto had touched felt hot, the heat seemed to spread to his cheeks.
Not long after the bell rang, Sasuke headed toward his after school activities. Wondering all that time what Naruto was gonna dress up as.
"I told you to turn left back there!" Neji yelled from the passenger seat.
Naruto chuckled and rubbed the back of his head, he continued down the dark abandoned street that was lined by an endless amount of trees.
"Where does she live, the middle of nowhere?" Neji complained.
"I think the houses are so big they spread em apart." Shikamaru offered.
He found a small clearing and turned around. When he reached his turning point again he turned slowly onto the driveway for Neji's benefit, Neji just scowled and crossed his arms.
They pulled into a long street that was lined with a bunch of cars; Naruto found an open spot and parked. Up the very long driveway stood a big house that was alive with the sound of people and drifting music.
He took a look in the rear view mirror, Shikamaru was playing with his fake vampire teeth, he saw Naruto looking at him. "I didn't want to be a vampire." He slipped on his teeth and fiddled with his plastic cape.
Neji laughed "Shikamaru you look priceless."
Naruto got out and adjusted his eye mask and hat. He made sure he could see clearly and turned toward the others.
"How come Neji didn't have to dress up?" Chouji complained. "Shikamaru is a pathetic vampire and I'm a PUMPKIN!"
Shikamaru winced at the word pathetic.
Naruto laughed. "Come on guys, it's the one day a year, you get to dress up and your complaining? Plus Neji's a baseball player."
Neji wore a baseball team t-shirt and a baseball cap, no matter how hard he tried, Naruto couldn't get him to go as anything else.
They all stood around the car and stared up at the big house. "Oh Neji!" Naruto said pressing the unlock button. "I forgot your baseball glove and ball." He went to his seat and brought them out.
"Here you go." He handed them to Neji and they made their way toward the mansion.
Neji frowned and left the items by the car, he followed the happy blonde. He wouldn't notice if he didn't carry them anyway.
The front of the house was encircled by large rounded hedges and gates. There was a circular pebbled driveway around a huge fountain.
Music grew louder and louder with each step they took. They approached the double doors uncertain of what to do. Naruto walked right up to them and opened them. Confused, about seeing a long dark hallway that greeted them, they continued till it eventually led to a grand hall that was flooded with people. No one really saw them as they came in, which Naruto was grateful for.
The main floor was occupied by people dancing and people who were talking at the sides of the circular room. There were people alongside the grand staircases that wound around the sides of the room and met at the top connected by a balcony over looking the first floor. The walls were high with equally tall windows, decorated with long elegant red velvety curtains. The walls were a butter cream color. Naruto looked at it, taking pity on the people who didn't appreciate what a beautiful room they were actually in. The handrails were big and wooden, polished probably for sliding purposes.
"Let's go." He felt Neji tug at him and followed him upstairs.
The group made their way through the dance floor. Random girls clung to Naruto, he un-clung them and attached them to another person. They went through another set of doors at the top and were surprised to see another huge hall also with very high walls, which was crowded with even more people than the last.
"Who did Sakura invite, the whole school?!" Shikamaru yelled to Naruto. "I'm going outside; it's too loud in here."
"Okay!" Naruto yelled but by that time Shikamaru was halfway through the door they just came through. Along the sides of this room there was food and drinks. There was a whole other wall devoted to just drinks; Naruto saw huge kegs, bottles and cans.
Seeing this Neji made his way to it, immediately taking a big swig of beer. Chouji went the other way toward the food.
"Naruto! Is that you!" Naruto turned toward the yelling voice. He saw a pink haired girl dressed as a witch come behind him.
"Hey Sakura! Like your costume, looking good as always." Sakura laughed a little too hard and hit him on the chest.
Naruto scanned the room and put his arm around Sakura. "Come on let's get a drink." She giggled and walked with him to the drinks.
They reached the table; Naruto grabbed a beer and handed it to her, drinking his own. For a while Naruto stood, listening to Sakura's story exaggerating his laughter when it was fitting. Sakura touched him a lot as she talked; she would grab his hand, stroke his shoulder, or brush her hand across his chest. Naruto responded back flirtatiously.
A different song started and Sakura gasped "Oh I love this song." Sakura yelled "Let's dance." She grabbed his hand, turned around, and led him to the center of the room where others were dancing. She danced close to him, sticking out her hips.
They didn't know how long they danced it could have been minutes or days. Time was standing still tonight, everyone danced as if under a spell.
After hours, or perhaps days, Sakura stopped. "Wanna rest for awhile?" She whispered in Naruto's ear.
He nodded and she led him to a couch at the back of the room. They got to talking and before he knew it, he was entertaining a large, loud crowd, telling stories of his acting days. He would scan the room once and a while.
"Then HE called ME a dick!" He roared and the whole room hooted with laughter.
Sakura buried her head in Naruto's chest and laughed, Naruto sat comfortably next to her.
Naruto inspected the room again, he knew tonight he could take a night off, but he still wanted to see him.
He told a very memorable story about him and Hinata and the time they were filming near a forest. A wild monkey came and started screeching like it was going to attack them. The crowd laughed on cue and Naruto sat back satisfied.
In the corner of his vision, he saw a familiar shape and turned toward it. Across the room he saw Jean Van Der Belt! It was a perfect vision, whoever it was wore a perfect replica of his costume. The gray and black decorated vest fit around the long body perfectly. Some of the cape came over his shoulders and the rest hung down his back, coming down to his knees. The black oversized tie fit underneath the vest and over his white dress shirt. He leaned on the cane perfectly and when he looked up at his face, it looked so familiar.
In the next second, the vampire was gone and Naruto wasn't sure whether he'd really seen it. He excused himself from the group, ignoring the protests he heard. He went to the first room where he saw the vampire go.
This was the first time Sasuke didn't arrive somewhere early; he stepped out of his car. He looked at the estate and began his stroll to the house. He couldn't say in all honesty he was nervous; he was never one to be anxious. In fact he felt more alive than ever before, he felt sociable for the first time. Tonight he felt he could let go, the thought of the blonde excited him. Feeling as if tonight his life would change forever, he went through the doors confidently. When he approached the room a few people turned his way. "Who's that?" he heard people say.
He grinned, there was no way the dobe would be able to recognize him. He looked around the room and noticed all the girls chose the same costume: a slut.
He approached a random girl, "You've seen Naruto Uzumaki?" he asked. She turned around and gasped, startled by his good looks.
The girls by her each started giggling and giving him flirtatious looks. She nodded practically drooling, "we all saw him go up stairs." She said as if under a spell.
He looked up at his destination, "Thanks"
As he turned to go up, she yelled. "Want to dance with me?!" He turned around and grinned, "Sorry girls, there's only one for me."
He flew up the stairs, his body trembled with excitement, he loved the feeling of anticipation, it was better than rewards.
He went through the door only to see it packed to the limit, his eyes immediately fell to a dark figure. He knew it was him, for he knew his eyes could only see one person. He was dancing with the pink haired girl, Sasuke silently growled his mood, quickly deteriorating, but concentrated on the blonde anyway.
He was dressed all in black, with a long black cape, and black hat and eye mask. The black baggy shirt exposed his chest, it draped loosely on his body, unworthy of it. The tan skin that was exposed revealed a very toned chest. He grinned, figures he'd dress up as something from his own movie; it was an exact replica of Zorro's costume from Naruto's movie, 'Zorro's Revenge'. He noticed he hadn't dyed his hair for the costume this time.
He watched the way the blonde would move his body. He didn't look like he was honestly enjoying it, but he danced with passion anyway. His hips would move in steady rhythm, his arms would gently hold the other body and once in a while run a finger down her hips.
Sasuke licked his lips and moved away, he went to the drink table, his throat suddenly feeling dry.
He chugged down a bottle of water and found the spot Naruto was dancing and found that he liked watching the blonde.
Girls, and even one drunken guy, asked Sasuke to dance; he ignored them all.
The blonde moved to the sidelines across the room and settled on a couch. He watched him talk with the pink-haired girl. Eventually different people would join in the conversation, till he had an audience surrounding him. He saw the crowd laugh, the blonde laughed as well. Sasuke would be satisfied watching him all night; he knew he couldn't approach him. A new wave of laughter passed over the group and Naruto's eyes found him. He stood paralyzed under the blonde's gaze. The boy looked shocked. Sasuke panicked, this wasn't supposed to happen. Naruto kept staring, Sasuke decided he couldn't take it and fled to the other room. So much for confidence.
He stood behind a pumpkin and saw Naruto also come into the room, he scanned the people on the balcony. Sasuke watched the blonde longingly and was relieved when he walked in the opposite direction.
The blonde looked down on all the people and Sasuke knew he was looking for him; a strange quiver ran through his entire body. He watched the blonde make his way down the left staircase and a familiar song came on. He didn't know where he'd heard the song before but for some reason he knew it perfectly and it seemed louder than previous songs.
You're just too good to be true
can't take my eyes off you
You feel like heaven to touch
I want to hold you so much
at last love has arrived
And I thank god I'm alive
Naruto slowly walked down the stairs, never knowing that dark eyes watched his every move. He went down the stairs slowly as he searched the room, on the opposite staircase Sasuke mimicked his moves, taking a step down as the blonde did. The chase made him feel alive, but he wouldn't approach him just yet, he would make him wait.
They reached the main floor at the same time. Naruto continued his search on the ground, he slowly weaved his way into the crowd searching every face carefully. For a second Naruto looked confused and stared back at the stair he'd just descended. Sasuke took this opportunity to conceal himself in the crowd. He positioned himself a safe distance away, but somewhere he could still see him.
You're just too good to be true
can't take my eyes off you
For that moment those blue eyes belonged to Sasuke, they were meant for him and only him. Sasuke slinked his way through the crowd trailing the dark figure looking around. Naruto passed by a fairy that giggled and pulled off his hat and put it on her own head, Naruto ignored her, searching every face.
Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
Darling you feel like I feel
Please let me to know if it's real
You're just too good to be true
can't take my eyes off you
Sasuke dared to sneak behind Naruto. He stood right next to him, but remained hidden behind his back. As he passed, the vampire grabbed onto his fingers gently caressing them. The moment was gone too soon; Naruto looked back suddenly, never seeing his follower.
I love you baby
And if it's quite all right
I need you baby
to warm the lonely night
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say
He looked around bewildered for a moment, and continued his search more desperate than ever. Sasuke smiled at the blonde, following him more closely now. He pushed passed clingy girls, his mind set on one thing. The blonde turned around suddenly.
Oh pretty baby
Don't bring me down, I pray
Oh pretty baby
Now that I've found this day
And let me love you baby
Let me love you
Without thinking Sasuke grabbed a Venetian mask, from a stranger and placed it over his own face. The blonde headed in his direction again, but passed right past him. Sasuke couldn't help but smile as he took off the mask.
You're just too good to be true
can't take my eyes off you
you feel like heaven to touch
I want to hold you so much
At last love has arrived
And I thank god I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
can't take my eyes off you
The blonde went to the stairs, he scanned the crowd. There! He saw him, he was on the opposite side of the room dancing with a girl who look looked utterly shocked to be turning with Sasuke. He pushed passed the crowd and made his way toward him, only to find nothing but more crowds and no sign of Jean Van Der Belt.
I love you baby
And if it's quite all right
I need you baby
to warm the lonely night
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say
Naruto frustrated, stepped out of the crowd and onto the sidelines, he looked over the crowd once again. When the vampire caught his sight, he looked up, standing above him was the one he'd been looking for. This time he didn't break eye contact, he looked up as he ascended the stairs, his pace quickening as he approached the presence.
He walked up to Sasuke mesmerized, standing before him was the perfect vampire, the ideal vampire. His pale skin was so natural for the part, shimmering with the glow of the undead. His deep black hair was radiant in the soft lighting and his dark eyes were an endless sea of night. His magnificence was only suitable for an undead, who gained eternal life and beauty after death.
Their eyes connected burning into each other. They didn't say anything but Sasuke clasped Naruto's hand and intertwined his fingers with his own. They moved their bodies together with the music. No one saw them they were lost in the hordes of people, just one of the many who danced. Sasuke pressed his body into the blonde's and Naruto stepped backwards. Their faces pressed into each other's barely touching, Naruto's nose touched Sasuke's. His blue eyes looked nervous eyes but were calmed by Sasuke's stern almost pupil-less eyes. They were caught in the moment, frozen in time, neither one thinking simply dancing.
Sasuke grabbed the back of Naruto's hips and pressed them against his own, so that they swayed together. Their body's moved into each others, the blonde closed his eyes loving the way it felt as another body moved with his own. He lifted his leg behind Sasuke's and stroked the back of the vampire's until Sasuke leaned all his weight against him. He draped his arms around the blonde's shoulders, resting his head on the exposed chest. Naruto moved their weight, along the floor, gliding across the room. Eventually Sasuke lifted his head feeling warm breath on his own face and before Sasuke could stop himself he lifted his head and put his mouth on Naruto's pushing him into a wall.
Naruto's back hit a doorknob, his cry of pain was lost in the kiss. Naruto reached for the doorknob and opened it; they made their way in a tiny storage closet. Sasuke grabbed the back of the blonde's head fiddling with the eye mask tie. He tried to untie it but ended up twisting it so Naruto was completely blind. Sasuke pulled away for a second, the blonde looked so vulnerable unable to see. He attacked him again, rolling his tongue into Naruto's mouth, teasing him, moving it back and forth. Naruto put his lips around the tongue hungrily, sucking on it whenever it entered his mouth. He couldn't see but his body was pressed against the wall and Sasuke's knee was jammed between Naruto's legs pinning him between the wall and himself. Naruto moved his body against the knee wanting more, Sasuke obliged pushing himself into Naruto. Their bodies moved along to their rhythmic kisses, breaking out into a sweat. Yes, this is what Sasuke had wanted all along, he pressed harder into the smaller boy. He felt intoxicated, drunk on Naruto. He moved down to his neck and ran his tongue down the tan skin giving Naruto goose bumps. The blonde closed his eyes in ecstasy; as Sasuke bit down making Naruto moan in pain and pleasure.
Naruto took off the blindfold, he wanted to see Sasuke. He watched as he moved down to his chest, opening his shirt even more. Sasuke moved his mouth along his stomach Naruto let out a giggle. "I'm ticklish bastard." Sasuke smiled up at him and moved slowly back up, spreading little kisses on his skin. He occasionally massaged his lips against the skin causing Naruto to moan.
"NO!" Naruto yelled abruptly
Sasuke was so taken aback, he stopped suddenly pulling away from his skin. Naruto looked at him with dead eyes. He looked at Naruto's flustered face, feeling his own cool off, now that he wasn't kissing him.
With sad eyes the blonde said "I can't" he closed his shirt and ran off, leaving Sasuke alone as ever.
Oh pretty baby
Don't bring me down, I pray
Oh pretty baby
Now that I've found this day
So let me love you baby
Let me love you
Neji swiftly opened the door to their apartment. He hoped the blonde was here; he couldn't find him anywhere. And he knew if the blonde left without telling anyone, something was wrong.
Neji opened the door cautiously, "Naruto?!" he called.
He heard water running and ran upstairs to the shower, banging on the door.
"Naruto, open up." He tried the door and to his surprise it opened. He stepped in only to find the blonde, still fully clad as Zorro, sitting in the shower.
"Naruto what happened?"
Naruto had his head on his hands.
"Naruto are you crying? The waters steaming, how hot is it?" Neji put his hand out to the water and flinched. "Fuck! Naruto this is hot." He reached for the faucet.
The blonde lashed out at him. "Don't touch it!"
Neji backed away. "Okay." He said calmly, "What happened?"
The blond let out a sob. "He touched me!" He sobbed into his knees and let out a wail. "He touched me and I let it happen, I touched him back." The blonde buried his head in his knees, he sobbed harder this time and didn't stop.
"Naruto." Neji said calmly as he took a seat on the side of the bath. "I thought you knew this would happen, you said you were prepared for anything."
The blond cried again and Neji made another attempt at turning off the water, this time he was successful. He ran to the hall, grabbed a towel from the cupboard and ran back to Naruto.
"Stand up." He ordered, Naruto obeyed and Neji put the towel around his shoulders, he guided the soaking blonde out of the bathroom and into his room, leaving a trail of water. He positioned the blonde on the bed like a child.
Neji went to grab new clothes for him.
"My body." Naruto said quietly. "It moved on its own."
Neji chose out a t-shirt and shorts and placed them next to the blond.
"Do you still wanna move ahead with the plan Naruto?" He asked standing over him.
The blond looked up at him, and for the first time Neji saw doubt in the blue eyes. He motioned for the clothes. "Here get dressed and we'll talk about it some more."
A/N: Can you guess what the chase was inspired by? 60 Lasagnas for whoever does (insert happy face).
