Your Mistress Is a Man?
Almost two weeks had passed since Sasuke resigned from Kyuubi Inc. He quickly settled into his secretarial role at NFR with ease, and was currently leading the new company's board members towards Naruto's private office. Sasuke knocked on the closed door and waited for an answer.
"Yea?" Was the muffled reply Sasuke was waiting for.
"All the members are here like you asked sir," Sasuke answered as he pushed open the door and led the board members into the huge office and directed each to take a seat around the large meeting table that was positioned in the middle of the office.
Sasuke then quickly left the room and returned a few minutes later with coffee and placed a cup in front of each member. The raven then bowed respectfully and turned to leave the four men to have their meeting privately.
"Uchiha."
"Yes sir?" Sasuke asked, wondering if he had forgotten something and quickly going over the mental checklist he had made for himself before the board members had arrived.
"Stay here."
"President?!" Sasuke was as shocked and confused as the other board members.
"He's my right hand man," Naruto explained while flipping through the file Sasuke had handed him. "Just pretend he's not here. It'll be easier and more useful if he hears everything too."
Sasuke nodded and awkwardly stood in the room while embarrassingly looking at the ground to avoid making eye contact with the annoyed and amused members of the board that would look over in his direction ever so often during the meeting. Sasuke couldn't help but feel that Naruto wasn't really making him stay in room because he was the blond's "right hand man" but more for the fact to make the blond President's sadistic side feel better about itself.
???
"I don't think they liked it very much when you allowed me to remain in the room while during the meeting. That or they were confused and shocked," Sasuke commented as he cleaned up the empty coffee glasses.
"That's only because I had never placed trust in another human other than them," Naruto waved off dismissively. "They'll get over it."
"So you've know each other for a long time?" the raven asked, trying not to sound too interested.
"Years. They managed my stock while I was still part of my father's company. This time though, they're going to have an active part in my company." Naruto replied as he searched for a cigarette. "Soon all the annoying stuff will be taken care of by humans so that I never have to go out into the sun again…" The blond ranted happily as Sasuke continued to clean up.
NFR is a stock corporation company with about thirty-two stockholders with Naruto as the owner and main investor. But he doesn't really bother with the actual management of the company. The ones who do the real management work and represent him are Vice-President, Konohamaru, board member, Kankuro, and Shikamaru, also a board member who also quit Uzumaki Co. shortly after Sasuke did and joined NFR. On paper, it seems like these three run the whole company, but in truth, they constantly send detailed reports to Naruto and never make an important decision without first consulting Naruto.
"Even if that were to happen, I don't think your workload would lighten any." The secretary said casually.
"Of course not," Naruto agreed almost too quickly. "There's way more work to be done than ever before."
"Right…" Sasuke answered a little hesitantly and turned away from the blond so that he didn't see the raven's suspicious expression. "What is he really up to?" Sasuke quietly questioned as he remembered his conversation with Kiba before he left Kyuubi Inc. "I know that the President is probably getting ready to support Uzumkai Co. in any way he can. Indirectly of course. So he says "mere humans", but once he puts his trust in a human he never lets go. Although, he'll probably never admit it."
"Uchiha, take these documents to Konohamaru."
"Yes sir," Sasuke took the offered documents and headed for the door.
"Hey, by the way…"
Sasuke paused at the door and looked over his shoulder. "Yes?"
"Have you seen my cigarettes?" Naruto asked as he continued to search his desk for the elusive packet of cancer sticks.
Sasuke looked back towards the door and smirked. "No sir," he answered as he walked out of the office while throwing the new pack of cigarettes away as he passed the large trash can by the President's private office. As they say: a little revenge never hurt anyone.
???
Sasuke paused outside the Vice-President's office in curiosity as Kankuro's loud voice was heard through the jarred door, and tried to keep calm as he heard his name several times in the conversation.
"What the hell was Naruto thinking by letting his stupid secretary stay for the meeting?"
"That's 'president' Naruto to you Kankuro," Konohamaru quickly said defensively.
"And not only that, that secretary of his isn't even actually part of the NFR staff! He's on a private contract with the President!" Kankuro continued as if Konohamaru hadn't spoken.
"Well, Naruto has a lot of work to do outside of the company too," Shikamaru lazily explained. "So having a secretary that is restricted to only NFR is pretty much useless to him. And don't you think it's good that he finally admits he needs help?"
"So you think I should just accept this without any protest?" Kankuro asked in disbelief. "Plus, anyway you look at it, isn't he just another one of the President's mistresses?"
Sasuke narrowed his eyes and tried to keep himself from committing homicide. "How do you rig a car to explode again?"
"Even if he is," Konohamaru interjected. "If he were useless then the President wouldn't keep him around."
Kankuro scoffed. "Personally, I think he should learn to stop mixing business and pleasure and just stay the President's plaything."
"As long as I don't leave fingerprints or fibers no one will know," Sasuke fumed. "Okay, calm down Sasuke. Don't give these assholes the satisfaction of knowing that got to you. Breathe…" Sasuke took a deep breath and composed himself before he knocked on the door. "Excuse me, sir?"
"Damn it…" Kankuro mumbled at hearing Sasuke's voice.
"… Troublesome," Shikamaru shook his head and sighed.
"Yes?" Konohamaru answered and Sasuke pushed open the jarred door and stepped in with a file of documents.
"President Uzumaki asked me to deliver these documents to you," Sasuke said with a polite smile.
"Thank you," the Vice-President answered as he took the documents and Sasuke excused himself.
Once the door to the office was firmly shut behind the secretary, everyone in the room let out a sigh of relief.
"Not as tough as you seem Kankuro," Konohamaru teased as he opened the file.
"Well, he probably heard everything and didn't come in here raving. He's got nerve, I'll give him that."
"Unlike you," Shikamaru said absently.
"You might want to be careful when you go home tonight Kankuro," Konohamaru said as pleasant as possible while holding up the file to hide his smirk.
???
"Mistress? Mistress?! MISTRESS?!" Sasuke was practically ready to kill someone as he stomped down the hallway. "First it's 'lover', now it's 'mistress'. What's next then? 'His bitch'? 'Whore'? Not every boss has sex with his damn secretary! Dumbasses!" Sasuke finished ranting, feeling a little better. Then paused… "But he is having sex with me..." And suddenly he felt defeated again.
The raven sighed and continued to walk to his office and paused in front of the closed door with his name printed neatly on it. S. Uchiha. "But it is work," Sasuke reasoned with himself as he continued to stare at the name plate. "The President needs my blood. And the… uh… Is just to make it the best possible blood for him. Isn't it a secretary's job to provide their boss with the best they can possibly do?" Sasuke opened his office door and looked around the large room before walking in and shutting the door behind him.
"This room was specifically picked for me by the President, because he needs me. He needs me as his secretary, and that won't change regardless of what other people say. I'm President Uzumaki's private secretary. And I'm proud of that." Sasuke nodded to himself as he sat down at his desk and got back to work.
???
The next day, Sasuke was exactly the same. Shikamaru wasn't surprised and just shrugged while Kankuro fumed angrily to Konohamaru, who followed Shikamaru's example, and just shrugged too. The three continued to watch Sasuke interacting with the other secretaries as if he hadn't heard them talking about his relationship with the President. Truthfully, they were very impressed. Even Kankuro, though he would remain in a bad mood for the rest of the day.
"He's doing well at pretending he doesn't care," Konohamaru commented as Sasuke was offer a cup of coffee. "Though he should be as angry as you are right now. At least one of you knows how to be an adult."
"Shut up Konohamaru," Kankuro retorted.
"… Troublesome," Shikamaru said with a sigh as he walked away from Konohamaru and Kankuro to go back to work.
"I don't know what your problem is Kankuro," Konohamaru shrugged as he followed Shikarmaru's example. "I kind of like him."
"Yea… I guess…" Kankuro admitted, a little grudgingly, as he too returned to work. "He's okay…"
???
Checking his watch, Sasuke picked up the phone and dialed the President's private line.
"It's time for your meeting with Ino-san," Sasuke said as he marked off Ino's name from the calendar.
"… Whatever…" Naruto answered sulkily and hung up.
Sasuke looked at the phone curiously and placed it back on the receiver. "Don't sound too excited. I don't want to deal with your 'meals' either. I wonder if something happened between him and his partners'?"
???
"Annoying…"
"Hm?" Konohamaru looked up from where he was reading a file. "Did you say something?"
"No nothing," Naruto grinned. "Sorry, but I've got to go. So just give me a detailed report when I get back."
"Okay," Konohamaru answered with a nod as he gathered his stuff and left the office.
Naruto then sighed and leaned back in his chair. "Damn it… Everyone else is just annoying expect him. I've really hit rock bottom." Naruto sighed as he pushed out of his chair and grabbed his coat and walked out of his office.
"Sir," Sasuke instantly fell into step with the blond. "The last time you met with Ino-san was round the twenty-third last month. I sent her a diamond necklace in your name. The dinner reservations have been made and you're at the usual hotel."
Naruto narrowed his eyes and said. "Yea, the diamond necklace was a nice touch. Her blood was delicious."
Sasuke cleared his throat to hide his discomfort, and was that jealousy as well? "The dinner reservations are at 8:30 under your name and the room is reserved for the entire night. Also, her birthday is in a week so I also prepared flower and chocolates for the occasion." The raven continued, ignoring Naruto's eyes watching him.
"You really are the always calm, loyal, and perfect secretary," Naruto said with a smirk.
Sasuke looked at the blond in confusion and didn't know if he should take the comment as a complement or be offended. "Thank you?" he answered hesitantly and before he could comprehend what was happening, Naruto suddenly grabbed him by the arm and shoved him against the wall.
"So the only time you loose your cool is during sex?" Naruto asked, looming over the shorter man and taking off the raven's thick-rimmed glasses. "Even when you're so sensitive, it only takes one touch to make your blood delicious?"
Sasuke looked to the side to avoid looking into Naruto's eyes and answered. "It's my job to provide you with the best blood possible."
Naruto glared at the raven and forced Sasuke to look at him again before kissing the stunned secretary. Hard. Sasuke opened his mouth to protest, and Naruto took this moment to thrust his tongue into Sasuke mouth. The raven's lungs ceased to function as the blond continued to ravish his mouth. Once Naruto pulled away, Sasuke was breathing hard as Naruto glared.
"Job?" Naruto questioned angrily. "Then you're no better than the people who have sex for money."
Sasuke stood stunned as the elevator doors opened and Naruto swiftly walked in. "I'll be back around midnight. Wait for me in my room." And with that the elevator doors closed.
"You… Asshole!" Sasuke finally regained his sense, and he was livid. "Come back here and say that without running you bastard!" Sasuke yelled and punched the metal door out of anger. "Is that your goddamned vampire pride talking?! Do you like to think that the humans in the world are your playthings?! Even if you think that human feelings are "annoyances" and that if you loved me you couldn't use me as a secretary anymore! Well sorry to break the news to you but I love you! I'VE ALWAYS LOVED YOU! And now thanks to you, I feel like shit every single damn time you go out for one of your 'meals'! I DON'T WANT TO RESERVE DAMN HOTEL ROOMS FOR YOU ANYMORE! AND I DON'T WANT TO PICK OUT GIFTS FOR YOUR 'MEALS' ANYMORE EITHER! Why the hell did I have to fall in love with someone like you?!" Sasuke was panting by the time he finished his rant. "It may be part of my job, but… I sleep with you because I love you…" Sasuke quietly admitted to himself, before heading up to the blond's bedroom and waited silently for Naruto to return.
???
As Sasuke laid in the dark staring up at the ceiling, he could help but wonder: was there anyone that Naruto met with that he didn't consider a "meal"? But an actual person? A friend? A lover? Sasuke looked over to the naked, sleeping blond, and couldn't help but think, at the risk of sounding cliché, how sweet and peaceful the blond looked when he slept. Sasuke didn't want to turn into another one of Naruto's "meals" or a "mistress".
Sitting up, Sasuke looked out the window of the huge bedroom and a small smile tugged at his lips as he watched the shining lights of the city. He stretched and was about to relax back into bed before his body tense at the feeling of something moving up his thigh and moving towards a-not-so-innocent place. The raven quickly moved away from the warm hand.
"Stop." Sasuke commanded as the blond sat up as well and pouted. "You've had enough blood."
"So?" Naruto questioned as he reached for Sasuke again.
"There's no need to do it again if you're done feeding. I think we overdid it today anyways." Sasuke answered. "You need to be able to tell people apart. I not one of your 'mistresses'."
Naruto stared at Sasuke blankly before grabbing the raven and pinning him to the bed. "Weird. I never noticed something like that." The blond then smirked as he kissed Sasuke neck. "Let's ask you body instead. I think it still wants to play."
Sasuke started to protest but was cut off by Naruto's mouth.
"The phone," Sasuke said in between kisses. "It's the ringtone of the security department," the blushing raven finally said, which, thankfully, stopped Naruto and forced him to answer the phone.
"What?" Naruto asked angry after pushing the "speaker" button with a little bit too much force.
"Uh…" Sasuke didn't blame them for sounding scared. "There's someone here to see you sir…"
"Isn't it your job to tell who's dangerous and who's not?" Naruto practically yelled into the speaker.
"But… But… His name is Gaara, and he said if you heard the name then you would understand…" The voice on the phone trailed off.
Naruto paused and then said in a much calmer and quieter voice. "Let him in."
Sasuke looked over to Naruto in curiosity at the change of volume and tone.
"Into the office sir?" the phone asked.
"No, to my apartment." Naruto answer as he quickly got dressed.
"I thought he would never allow another person into his private place…" Sasuke mused as he quickly got dressed as well.
The two then exited the bedroom in silence and entered the living room and waited for the entrance of the private apartment to open. After a few minutes of waiting, the door opened and in walked a very handsome, almost pretty, red head. Exactly Naruto's type. Fair skinned, almost as pale as Sasuke, lovely pale emerald eyes, a red tattoo of the Japanese symbol for "love" on the temple of his forehead, and he was dressed well. Sasuke stared wide-eyed as the red head walked into the apartment and closed the door.
"Naruto," he said with a smirk.
"Gaara," the blond answered with a wide grin. "Long time no see, and not that I don't love you and all, but I told you to call before coming, didn't I?"
The red head shrugged. "Wanted to surprise you." His eyes then trailed over to Sasuke and a knowing smirk crossed his lips. "Sorry for interrupting your 'meal'?"
Naruto shook his head. "You didn't. I already finished."
"Oh… So that's him right?" Gaara asked pointing at a confused Sasuke. "The secretary you like so much that you decided to keep at your side. So he knows about us vampires right?"
"He's a vampire too?" Sasuke suddenly felt sick.
"So everyone in the clan knows now, right?" Naruto asked with a little sigh.
"You should know Naruto. You can't keep secrets from the clan." Gaara replied. He looked over to Sasuke again and surveyed the secretary. "Your taste in partners has shifted a lot, Naruto."
"His blood is delicious." Naruto defended.
"Oh?" Gaara licked his lips. "Can I have a try?"
"No," Naruto answered. "Keep your hands off him and my employees."
"You're so stingy. Didn't your parents ever teach you to share with your friends?" Gaara teased.
Sasuke felt very out of place. Very left out.
"So why are you here really Gaara?" Naruto asked.
"No reason." Gaara shrugged. "You just never visit me, so I decided to visit you." Gaara smiled softly as he pulled Naruto down for a kiss.
Sasuke felt jealousy boil in his veins and tried to keep his expression neutral when the two vampires separated.
"What's wrong?" Gaara asked. "Can't you kiss me like you usually do? Or is it because we're in front of your 'woman' that you can't?"
"Uchiha isn't my 'woman' as you put it. He's my secretary," Naruto answered as Gaara loosely hugged the blond and Naruto returned the loose hug by putting his hands on the red head's waist. "Uchiha, that's all for today. Go home."
Sasuke stared at Naruto while the blond kept his eyes on Gaara.
"Yes sir…" Sasuke answered, happy that his voice was steady. "Good night." He bowed and left the room.
"Another vampire…" Sasuke mused as he walked towards the elevator. "It's not like I didn't know more existed. The only other vampire I've met is the President's mother. But I suppose even vampire can love each other. Truthfully speaking, it should make more sense that a vampire would be more attracted to another vampire. He's a real person to the President. Not just another 'meal'. And he doesn't need any excuse or reason to be near the President. He's a vampire who can afford to be in love with the President."
'"Uchiha isn't my 'woman' as you put it. He's my secretary,' that's how it is," Sasuke reasoned with himself as he remembered the blond President's words. "That's exactly how things are suppose to be. So why?" Sasuke stared at his reflection in the elevator doors and felt like punching it.
"Why do I feel like my heart is breaking?"
TBC…
O.o What is this?! No! Not another obstacle in the way of Naruto and Sasuke's love! xD And for everyone that's like "When the heck is Gaara going to show up dang it?!" Yay! Gaara is here! Or boo. Depending on how you feel about Gaara's role in the story. :3 So I hope that everyone had a good Christmas and stay warm everyone!
Please review :3
