Hey, so check it out.
The only reason this is rated M is becuase of the extra chapter at the end of the story (which is still in work). The rest of the pic is rated PG, PG-13 at most. Please keep this in mind if you are looking for smut or fluff.
This is a Shounen-ai/Yaoi fanfic containing SasuNaru (SasukexNaruto) pairing. If you do not like the pairing or shounen-ai in general, then please do not leave any comments and discontinue reading from here.
Naruto and Company and Naruto related things are all property of Kishimoto Masashi. Yes, everything from the chararcter designs to the SasuNaru!
Character manipulation are all done by me.
Naruto sat silently. He couldn't understand. Didn't he just open his eyes? So why was everything still dark? He brought his own tan hands up to rub his eyes when he felt the problem. Something was covering them. Someone had put their hands over his eyes. He tried to move them away, but a harsh voice forced him to stop.
'Don't you dare move them."
It was Sasuke's voice coming from behind. And so Naruto obeyed the command. His hands dropped to his side to wait for the next thing.
"What the hell were you thinking?!" Sasuke yelled at Karin.
She jumped back a little at how bitter and angry the Uchiha's voice was.
"Sasuke-kun...I-"
"Did you learn nothing from what Sakura just did?! Are you that fucking retarded?!"
Now she didn't have a response.
"You do not do anything like that! Why the hell would I fall for a dipshit like you who can't even learn from others mistakes?!You're nothing but a selfish bitch that only wants a trophy boyfriend! Just like the other idiots around here! I don't want you to ever speak to me again!"
This was the harshest thing Sasuke had ever said to anyone. With tears in her eyes and her bottom lip quivering, Karin spun around and ran out the cafeteria cursing why she would do anything to make Sasuke hate her guts. Now with her out of the way, Sasuke put his attention back on the blonde.
"Are you done coughing?" he asked.
"Y-yeah, but you didn't have to say those-"
"We're getting you to the infirmary and getting a blindfold. Now stand up."
"What?! But why?!"
"Because you drank what was supposed to be a love potion, which I figure out from all her yelling and cussing at you. So we need a blindfold so you don't look at anyone. Now stand up so we can go see Shizune-sensei."
"No Sasuke! Let me go!"
"Dobe! I'm doing you a favor!"
Dobe. After a long week of Sasuke all over him and the terrible day he had yesterday, that name sounded like angelic chords to his ears. This was the Sasuke he wanted, and he wanted to see him. Now. Naruto tried tearing the pale hands off of his eyes, but Sasuke was determined to keep them on. But Sasuke's will was just mo match for the blonde's desire, and as soon as the hands were ripped off his face, Naruto held on tightly to those hands and spun around before he opened his eyes.
There he was. His eyes had no hatred or any source of coldness. In fact, his face had that little bit of color in it as he looked into the bright sapphire eyes with his onyx-black ones. But although he could see the pale handsome face in front of him, he still felt uncertain. This boy who was in front of him seemed no different from before, so why was Naruto feeling like this? But he had to be sure. He had to find an answer. The blonde wrapped his arms around Sasuke's neck, which shocked the raven enough for him to step back, but unable to escape the blonde's grasp. And before a word could be uttered, he was brought into a kiss.
Naruto could feel Sasuke's unchapped lips against his own and he could feel the heat from the raven's body. With everything that had happened, and with what Naruto was now feeling, the answer became clear. Naruto now knew how he was to react, how he was supposed to feel, and what Sasuke really meant to him. The tears ran down his sun-kissed cheeks as he pulled away and looked at the older boy, but never letting go of his neck and keeping the distance between them to a bare minimum. These words, no matter how hard he tried, couldn't be said so quietly. With all his might, he opened his mouth to say it, but it just came out as a hoarse scream rather than a whisper.
"I LOVE YOU, SASUKE!!!"
No one had said anything since Naruto stormed into the cafeteria, so his scream echoed through the entire room for the longest time. The blonde didn't dare lift his head to meet the other boy's eyes. He knew everything that had happened and was aware that Sasuke had put an end to it all the other day, but Naruto had to go and start the whole process all over again. He buried his head into Sasuke's chest and tried his hardest to hold in his tears. He could now understand what Sasuke was feeling the entire time, wanting to be close with the person he loved and never wanting to let go of them or letting them leave his sight. And he also understood why Sasuke refused at first to take the antidote because he would lose this wonderful feeling of being in love and wanting to share that love with Sasuke. But what had been done was done, and Sasuke could never return the-
Naruto's chin was raised so his lips could be captured into another kiss. Although he was shocked into the sudden action, he didn't hesitate to melt into the kiss and try to pull in the raven even closer than before. When they pulled away from the sweet kiss, Naruto saw that the onyx eyes were even softer than before and, surprisingly, a hint of a smile tugging on Sasuke's lips. He lifted his pale hand to Naruto's face and began caressing the tan cheek as he began to speak.
"Dobe...I love you, too."
Although those were the words he had longed to hear, he couldn't understand why they were coming out of Sasuke's mouth.
"But...b-but I thought you didn't! Not anymore! You took the antidote and-"
"I never took the antidote. I merely made it looked like I did. I said I never wanted to lose the feeling of loving you, and so I made it look like I took it so you wouldn't be so uncomfortable around me anymore. I never stopped thinking about you, and I never stopped loving you, Naruto."
Naruto's eyes were filling with tears again, but they were filled with joy than with sorrow. But before any more could fall out, Sasuke brought Naruto's lips back in for another kiss and wrapped his arms around the blonde's waist. Naruto had no trouble complying and leaning in to deepen that kiss confirming their love for one another. To the two of them, this was heaven.
........
Of course, neither could see how many girls passed out from their little show....
*~*~*~*~*~
Karin sat wiping her eyes as the furious blonde principal was towering over her.
"What is wrong with you?! Did you learn nothing from what just happened last week?!"
"Oh please..." the redhead sniffed. "I already lost Sasuke-kun and he hates me..."
"Um, hello?"
The blonde whipped her head over to the over to the source of the noise.
"Why the heck am I here?!" Sakura yelled. "This was not my fault!"
"This was your fault to begin with!" Tsunade yelled.
"Oh, like none of the other girls had tried this in Sasuke-kun before!"
"They didn't chemically enhance the potions!"
"I tried to fix the problem! It's not my fault he didn't take it!"
"That still doesn't mean you- HEY!"
It seemed like a déjà vu. Right behind the girls was Naruto and Sasuke, but now both of them were making out instead of one attacking the other. After she yelled one more time, they both separated with a string of saliva still connecting their lips.
"What?" they both asked.
"Do not "what" me! There is no making out in my office, let alone this school!"
"Baa-chan, can we leave?" the young blonde asked. "We just know we're gonna do something to make you mad and you'll throw us out of your office anyway, so why bother?"
It was clear that steam was coming out of Tsunade's ears, so before she was able to throw a piece of her brand new desk at the boys, they already made their exit down the hall while laughing all the way. They made their way to a secluded hall in order to catch their breaths. They looked at each other while bending over and laughed once more. Sasuke reached his hand out to Naruto's face and pulled him in for another kiss. Naruto pulled himself closer and wrapped his arms around the raven and melted into the kiss right away. When they pulled apart, Naruto nuzzled his nose against the other and gave a warm smile.
"This is so weird," the blonde started, "having you kiss me rather than attack me like last week."
"Hn. That's because it was the first time I was holding you and kissing you. I couldn't control myself and I just wanted more of you. You can't blame me."
"Even so, this is so much nicer..."
They kissed again. Naruto pushed against Sasuke until his back leaned against a wall. The raven only pulled the kitsune in closer as he continued massaging the blonde's lips with his own. When they separated, a frown made its way on Naruto's face.
"What's wrong?"
"How long...."
"What?"
"I wonder how long...this will last....I mean, we both drank the potions."
Sasuke's eyes drifted away from the blue ones.
"You drank Sakura-chan's last week, so it's bound to end faster than Karin's, and knowing Karin, I bet she tried to one-up Sakura again and tried to enhance the potion even more. If this is the case, then I wonder how long the two of us can be like this..."
"It's permanent."
Naruto looked up at Sasuke but his eyes were still fixed on something other than the blonde's face.
"Wha....what do you mean?"
"Naruto...I love you. I really love you....and always had...."
The last part was mumbled, but Naruto was still able to hear it. Sasuke released the younger boy and walked over to the window.
"Naruto...I loved you since middle school. But at that time, you were so obsessed with Sakura that I couldn't tell you, so I kept it to myself. But before we entered this school, you said you were over her, but you seemed so depressed about it. I wanted to tell you then, but I had no idea how you would react to it, so I kept my mouth shut."
Naruto's hands tightened and his eyes widened as he looked at Sasuke's back.
"I've been holding these feelings in for about three years, and I just didn't know how much longer I could wait. That's when the Valentine's idea came into my head. I knew a bunch of girls would try to get me to eat stuff before that day, possibly having some "charm" or "love potion" in it, so I couldn't let the opportunity slide. I would just wait for the most obvious one to come by and take it when you were around, but I didn't think you would hand-deliver it to me like that."
"Sasuke..."
"What I'm trying to say is...that love potions are fake..."
"But....but what about Sakura-chan's explanation? She made it trigger the hormones-"
"It was just theoretical, but not true. All love potions try and do that same thing, but none of them are true....Naruto, the potion had nothing to do with the way I feel. These are my true feelings...and so are yours."
Sasuke was immediately spun around and punched right in the face. When he fell to the ground, he looked up to see the blonde standing over him with his fist clenched and water building up in his blue eyes.
"You think this is a joke?!" the blonde yelled.
"No! Naruto, listen!"
"All of this! All of this was just a game to you?! You lead me on and confuse me like that just for your own satisfaction?!"
"No! It wasn't like that!"
"What?! You were trying to make me love you?!"
"Yes! I mean, no! I-I was hoping, but never expected it to happen! Naruto, I only planned this out as a one-sided love!"
"Well, it's not! You really do love playing with people's emotions like this! You really are the worst, Uchiha!"
And so he spun on his heels and took off. Sasuke sat holding his cheek trying to figure out what went wrong. Well, the answer was obvious, but he still didn't understand why things had played that way. Naruto continued to run through the school until he went past the gates and ran down the street, trying to get home. The game of love was indeed difficult, and both players were losing badly at this impossible game.
AN: Please keep in mind I must make cliffhangers, otherwise you all would stop reading! ^^;
Only two chapters to go!
