"Temari, I, I think I love Naruto"
Temari stood there looking at Sasuke for a couple minutes soaking in the new revelation he had just dropped on her.
"Oh, ohhhhhhh, so that's why you've been avoiding Naruto most of the trip, gotcha, well, how do you know that you actually, y'know, LOVE him, this could just be-"
"Trust me, it's not jsut, 'puppy love' or 'a fleeting interest', it's hard to explain, whenever I'm around him I just get inexplicably happy, I'm always trying to get closer to him without even realizing it, it's just really hard to explain, I just can't get enough of him."
After Sasuke said this he sighed deeply, running a hand through his hair just staring at the ground.
"Alright everyone, back in the car!, let's get moving people!"
Naruto went about rounding up all the people who had dispersed among the small area while Haku had been in the bathroom.
"Hey, Sasuke! Temari!, pick up the pace, move move move!"
"We'll be right there Naruto!" Temari said, waving him away, "Look, Sasuke, if you really feel that way you're going to have to tell him eventually, I've seen people go around like this, not telling the person their true feelings and it's ate them up inside!"
"Yeah, but as it stands me and him have a good friendship, and I don't wanna screw that up, if he doesn't feel the same way, or at least understand, then everything is gonna go up in smoke, and probably my best friend at the moment is gonna shun me, I don't want that to happen."
"Shika, wake your lazy ass, let's go, up and Adam!"
"Look, Sasuke, just think it over, I gotta go take care of this." Temari walked away leaving Sasuke behind to ponder the words of wisdom she'd left him with.
"Hey Naruto, you harassing my boyfriend?"
"What, who me Temari?, nah, I was just, just giving him a friendly, college-esque wake up call, all in good nature of course!"
"Uh huh, so why don't you quit streching his shirt out before I put my size six in the gap between your legs."
"Always so violent, tsk tsk, hey, Sasuke, get your ass in gear or else we're going to leave you behind!"
"Yeah, I'll be there in a second!" Sasuke answered, finally uprooting himself from the spot,"Such an idiot." XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX "I've never felt this way before Sasuke, what if I get hurt, I don't want this to be something meaningless."
"You don't have to worry, I'll be gentle,"
"I'm still not sure if I wan to do this, I mean what if the others wake up, how would we explain this?"
"Would it really matter, Naruto, we would tell them the truth and hope for the best, if we really feel this way and are going to go as far this, who cares?"
"You're right, if that's the case, I'd be more than willing to give myself to you, but just answer me this one thing Sasuke,"
"What's that?"
"Promise never to leave me."
Sasuke took Naruto by the shoulders and pressed him against the bed, straddled him, and looked him in the eyes.
"Naruto, I will never leave you."
Sasuke then slowly closed the gap between them and pressed his lips against Naruto's, at first neither boy responded and just reveled in the moment of hapiness, but lust took over and Sasuke dominated the kiss pressing his tongue against Naruto's lips until Naruto eventually gave in and allowed Sasuke in, where he explored the cavern of Naruto's mouth, pulling back at times to answer Naruto's inquiries. During the deeply passionate kiss, both boys had become painfully hard. Naruto pressed Sasuke away from himself and removed his clothes down to his boxers, under which his erection made itself aparent to Sasuke. Naruto took notice of this and said to Sasuke, "Take me..."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX "OHMYGOD!"
Sasuke woke up, breaking out in a cold sweat. Even though he was aware he liked Naruto he didn't think he was a pervert, at least, he wouldn't try to take advantage of him like that, at least, not yet, NO BAD SASUKE! Sasuke searched the small hotel room they were in for the jeans he had been wearing the day before. Upon finding them he raided the pockets, searching for the cell phone he had long since abandoned.
"one thirty-seven," Sasuke muttered to himself, "I hate waking up this early."
Sasuke lay on the patch of floor that belonged to him, Naruto had pulled rank and took one of the beds, Shikamaru and Temari took the other one for obvoius reasons so Sasuke, Haku, and Gaara were forced to bunk on the floor using their dufflebags as pillows, resulting in the inevitable fact that it would take them forever to finally fall asleep and even when they fall asleep they wake easily. So under this Sasuke sat on the floor tossing and turning until a light slumber fell over him.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX He had been tracking the terrorist group to a small foreign nation in South America, the sweltering heat made sweat fall from his brow in sheets. It wasn't as though Sasuke wasn't used to the heat, it was that the gear he had packed for this particular military excursion weighed him down, as well as his camoflague jacket which was made for a slightly colder climate.
"They said this particular town was where he was last spotted, ugh, better scan the area."
Sasuke sat the briefcase he had been carrying onto a nearby stone and opened it, assembling the rifle that sat inside. He peered through the scope, checking off each quadrant he had visited, it was several hours that passed as Sasuke checked and re-checked the area from his post. Sasuke was about to pack up and report that he had found nothing when a shot rang out and broke the dull silence, Sasuke heard the stone wall behind him get pockmarked with a bullet hole and quickly peered again through the scope of his rifle. He saw a man high on a perch, immediately Sasuke took aim and fired at the man's thigh. The bullet connected and sent the man tumbling to the ground, Sasuke locked another shot into the chamber and ran off to where he saw the man drop out of the small tower, the man lay at the base of the structure, a very obvious hole in his left thigh.
"Please, no, don't kill me I'll give you anything you want just don't kill me!" The man lay pleading and bargaining as Sasuke drew closer to him.
"Sorry, but you see, I have a bit of a grudge against people who try to kill me, so as tempting as your offer is, my orders are to kill you on sight."
Sasuke placed a foot on the man's chest and pointed his rifle at his head.
"No-"
"But maybe," Sasuke interrupted, "Maybe if you beg me for your life I'll consider it, so do it, beg me, beg me for your life."
As Sasuke continued to speak he became vaguely aware the man had extremely blue eyes, upon further study Sasuke noticed the man also had striking blonde hair. He looked up as he contemplated the bodily traits and Sasuke saw another person jumping down from a nearby ledge, gun in hand, Sasuke then came to a shocking revelation.
"Oh God, what have I done!?"
In an instant the bleeding man was in Sasuke's arms, in search of the nearest hospital.
"Damn!" Sasuke said to himself, "How could I make this big of a mistake!"
Sasuke looked down at the man in his arms and noticed he was turning a pasty shade of white and he had long since lost conciousness.
"No, I can't let you die!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX "NOOOOOOOOO!"
Sasuke sat bolt upright in the hotel room, the familiar surroundings giving him slight comfort.
"I can't take this shit anymore, it's right off my chart of freaky ass shit, and I've experienced some wild shit."
Rubbing his temples Sasuke went over to where Naruto was sleeping and found his jacket, raiding pockets for the second time that morning and found the keys to the Viper. Sasuke took a moment to steal a glance at the sleeping Naruto, sprawled out at an odd angle, leaving his entire torso exposed. Tight shoulder muscles framed the top of his body which led into a toned chest and bisceps, finally ending in an outlined six pack.
"So hot." Sasuke thought to himself and exited the room.
He amde his way down a flight of steps to the parking lot below, the orange glow of the sun just barely visible over the horizon, providing enough light to navigate without hurting himself. Down in the parking lot Sasuke picked out where they had parked the night before, he unlocked the door, searching the car for the brown bag of liquor. He found it and picked out the nearest bottle of hard alcohol and applied it to his lips, taking a large swig, burning as it went down, making his throat parch.
Not wanting to risk waking anyone waking up again, he took his vodka to the balcony.
"Fancy seeing you up so early."
"Gaara, what are you doing up?"
"Are you honestly asking that, you scream at the top of your lungs and expect nothing to happen, nobody to wake up, speaking of which, what were you screaming about?"
"I uh, had a bad dream."
"I don't believe it, ickle Sasuke had a knightmare and couldn't handle himself, ain't that cute!"
"Oh shut up." Sasuke sighed and took another drink of the alcohol.
"If you're not too busy being self-absorbed, wanna pass that over here?"
"This, sure."
Gaara put the bottle to his lips and drank deeply, giving the same cringing look Sasuke guessed he himself also gave when drinking hard liquor straight.
"Sooo, I'm guessing you're running into alot of problems too if you're hitting the bottle this hard." Gaara asked "I've just got alot on my mind, alot."
