Thanks you so much for the reviews!! We're passed the one hundred mark!! If I had some form of a sweet I'd give it to you but I don't so sorry! But please review again!! I love getting them.
Chapter Eight: Love is in the AirKnock, Knock, Knock.
I wonder who that could be. Sasuke rolled his eyes and decided that - just for the fuck of it - he would piss his boyfriend off.
"Who is it?" He asked in a singsong voice.
"You know damn well who it is, Sasuke!"
Said Uchiha flinched with silent laughter.
"No, sorry. Can't say I recognize you." On the other side of the door Naruto was surely fuming. Sasuke's sexiness had never failed him before and obviously it was working double-time today.
But his inner musings were stopped when Naruto opened the door, stepped in, and quietly shut it again. That was kind of weird and unexpected. Why was Naruto being so stealthy? Was he going to kill Sasuke?
"You shouldn't have done that." The blonde turned and smirked at Sasuke. Okay, definitely going to kill him. Why else would he be so purposely h-o-t-t hott!!
"D-done what?" Sasuke stuttered, stepping back but not realizing the toilet was there and he fell down. Naruto's smirk widened and he glided over to the seat. If there had been anything to hold on to Sasuke would have been squeezing it for dear life.
"I think you know what.' Naruto whispered straddling the other. He brought one hand up to tangle Sasuke's hair and let the other rest of the pale back. Slowly, he brought their heads closer together and gently - teasingly - he touched their lips.
This brought Sasuke back to reality and he immediately took control. He kissed Naruto so fiercely it's a wonder the lights weren't flashing.
Little Lime
Surprisingly it was Naruto's tongue asking for entrance this time. Since that never happened before Sasuke let him but only for a bit. He fought Naruto's tongue back and his hands started to raise the other's shirt. Gladly Naruto let him take it off, one of his hands bumping the lever on the toilet making it flush.
Naruto grinned against Sasuke's lips, which he'd slammed right back onto once his shirt was off. Sasuke pulled away from the other though and started down the tan neck, right until he reached the collarbone where he bit down lightly causing Naruto to moan. Slowly, the Uchiha worked his way back up to Naruto's mouth and his hands came up from the waist to the blonde locks on top of Naruto's head.
He twisted and pulled until Naruto moaned again. And Naruto brought his hands down to Sasuke's waist, grabbing at the towel.
End Lime
Sadly this pulled Sasuke out of his Naruto- induced state of mind and he shot a hand down to catch Naruto's wrist, shocking the other out of the ecstasy of the moment as well.
They stared at each other. One with a look of fear and realization, the other hurt and rejected.
"Are you freaks done in there yet? I need to take a dump!" Kiba's shouting brought Naruto out of Sasuke's eyes and he made a mad dash out of the bathroom, completely forgetting his shirt and disregarding his friends calls.
"Naruto." Sasuke whispered, reaching a hand out towards the door weakly.
"You should probably go find him."
Sasuke's head shot towards Kiba, who was still standing in the doorway but not looking at the Uchiha. As if he was still afraid Sasuke might turn him gay...
"What?"
"I don't know what you did to him but Naruto does stupid stuff when he's alone. Get dressed and find him" And the dog boy shut the door behind him. Leaving Sasuke to get dressed and trail after Naruto.
Before h left, though, he grabbed two things: Naruto's shirt and a small wrapped box he'd hidden when he stepped in the shower.
-
Naruto didn't understand. People were always coming after him for sex and the one time he willingly gave himself up he was rejected!
Okay, so he didn't give Sasuke the most time in the world to explain. Maybe the dude didn't want to do it in the can! Naruto could understand that. At least Sasuke was nice enough to stop when it got far. He wasn't like the others, he was a good person.
He wasn't like...
Sophomore year, this was supposed to be the year when everyone decided where they stood with everyone else.
Unfortunately for Naruto he stood nowhere with no one. That's what they told him at least. Cyrus had graduated the past year so Naruto thought maybe he could start over somehow.
And then Kabuto came.
He was the newest senior this year and a very over protective boyfriend. Or, bet-winner rather...
Yep, you guessed it. Kabuto was the second low-life to bet money on getting Naruto into bed. And he got it.
But not the way he was supposed to. Oh, no Kabuto abused Naruto - verbally, physically, mentally you name it. The worst part was eventually Naruto started to believe him. If Kabuto said no one else would ever want to date Naruto, he'd believe him.
Naruto thought he deserved every kick and punch and slap...
He found out too late that he was wrong...
Naruto let out a sob as he climbed up the rope to his sacred place. That had been one long hospital trip.
-
Sasuke panted as he continued to run after Naruto. It had taken a while but he'd finally seen the flash of orange pants he'd needed and had been chasing the other ever since.
But as he was running he was berating himself. Why did he do that? Why did he stop Naruto? He had the bet in the bag! Naruto was going to give him a thousand dollars!
Be he stopped him. Something made him stop Naruto.
What was it?
Sasuke remembered the conversation he'd had with some of those jerks he'd made the bet with just recently. They filled him in on some very interesting information.
"Hey! Uchiha!" Sasuke turned from his locker and saw some of the jocks from a couple weeks ago running towards him.
"What?" he spat. These people were just painful reminders of what he was doing to Naruto.
"How goes that bet?" The shortest boy and obvious leader of the pack slapped Sasuke's back. They were about the same height, but it was obvious that Sasuke could kick his ass.
"Hn." He slammed his locker and slung his bag over his shoulder. "Better get your wallets ready."
The three jocks grinned and pulled Sasuke down the hall with them.
"We like you, Uchiha. That's why we're gonna fill you in on what we're doing here."
Sasuke raised an eyebrow.
"Do tell." The dude laughed and straightened out his Letterman jacket.
"See my old man and the freak's old man went to school together. They were rivals. But the last thing they ever did together was make a bet. The freak's dad bet mine that his first-born would be a virgin longer than me. We want to prove him wrong."
Sasuke's brow furrowed.
"Naruto doesn't have a dad."
Before walking away the jocks laughed one more time.
"Not anymore he doesn't! And that's the way it should be."
It had pissed Sasuke off so bad he almost decked one of them. The next day they told him about what they would say to Naruto if Sasuke finished the bet. The things they said!
Sasuke shuddered.
Then another memory popped into his head.
Naruto took a giant whiff of the air around him and sighed.
"Smells like Tuesday." He said. Kiba bonked him on the head and leaned back in the chair.
"So, where's your boyfriend?" He teased. Naruto glared.
"He's not my boyfriend!" Sasuke smirked across the room overhearing this.
"Not yet." He mumbled. When the bell rang he stayed seated and waited for Naruto to pass. Then he discretely slapped the boys rear and left the room. He relished in the screams being sent his way.
Now, Sasuke didn't see this, but obviously Naruto had found the note and met him by the bathroom on the sixth floor for lunch.
They didn't talk at all, but Sasuke took Naruto's hand and led him down the familiar path to the chapel. Once there, they sat down in the fifth pew on the right, directly under the window.
"Sasuke." Naruto stared, breaking the silence. "Did you wa-"
"Will you be my boyfriend?" Sasuke (shouted) at him. Later he'd blame it on the echoes in the church and not on the nerves that took over as soon as the bet left his mind.
""Wh-" Naruto closed his mouth and swallowed. But nodded slowly and grinned.
"Yeah?" Sasuke chose to ignore the eagerness in his voice and pass it off as really good acting.
"Yeah." They smiled at each other and leaned in as one.
Sasuke groaned out loud. What was he doing? He'd loose the bet at this rate!
No. Right now he had to focus on finding Naruto.
He'd been running though the woods for a while and still following those orange pants, but he stopped and stood, panting when the pants climbed up a tree.
-
Naruto crawled through the door to get in the clubhouse. They had pillows and blankets there since everyone in a while someone would run away. He pulled out his favorite set - orange, believe it! - and curled up in the blanket lost in his memories.
Until something landed on his head... Naruto reached a hand up and picked a small box out of his hair. Sitting up, he examined it. A poorly done wrapping job and a note sticking off the top. Though it was hard to see in the dark and with messy Kanji Naruto made out the message.
I can wait forever.
Naruto bit his lip and untied the note. Then he took off the wrapping paper and opened the box...
He gasped.
-
Sasuke's ass hurt.
Sure he said he'd wait forever and he would! He just wished Naruto'd gone to a softer tree, that's all. And this was taking forever! All he'd planned on doing was giving Naruto the gift, maybe sharing a few sentimental words, then finally winning the bet!
But noooo, Naruto had to go and be all sentimental!! Couldn't he ogle the thing later an-
Once again his rampaging was cut off when a rope unraveled in front of him. Walking forward a bit, he tugged on the twine to be sure it was safe enough to climb. When he was he started up to the clubhouse.
And Naruto met him at the top.
For a minute neither spoke. Then Naruto grabbed Sasuke's hand and pulled him into the cabin part of the tree house.
Once they were situated, Naruto -very timidly- lifted the gift out of the box.
"Why would you give this," his eyes moved from the gift to Sasuke, "to me?"
Instead of immediately replying, Sasuke took the chain out of Naruto's hands and examined it. It was a silver chain and on it hung the only jewel for miles around that had the same ocean blue as in Naruto's eyes.
There wasn't anything really funny about the moment, but Sasuke grinned and started to laugh.
At first, when Sasuke took it out of his hands, Naruto doubted he'd ever see that necklace again. And when Sasuke started to laugh he wanted to fall out of the tree house. So, because he was feeling so depressed, he dropped his head down and tried not to cry.
Then the Uchiha surprised him by leaning over and latching the shimmering chain behind Naruto's neck.
Sasuke moved his arms down from the blondes neck to around his mid-back and he hugged him, kissing his neck and murmuring sweet nothings. Slowly, Naruto hugged back and they sat like that for a while.
Until, for the first time since this all started, Sasuke whispered to Naruto words that everyone dreams of.
"I'm giving this to you because you are my most precious person. And," He let out a dry chuckle. "Call me a sap if you want, but I'm falling for you."
Blue eyes widened momentarily, but something sunk in to Naruto's head and if there wasn't a roof above him he might have floated off.
"Wow." He gasped. He pulled back from Sasuke and looked him straight in the eyes. "Are you serious?"
Sasuke was about to say something but looked down at Naruto's chest. Oh right, he had a shirt in his back pocket.
Laughing a little he pulled it out and handed it to the blonde who gladly accepted it, blushing like a fat kid who just ran the mile.
"I'm serious." Sasuke did something that hardly anyone ever saw from him. He grinned showing off his pearly whites.
And then, they sat watching the stars together, wishing everyday could be like this. Wishing they wouldn't have to deal with the people in their lives. Wishing that right now they could just escape and not have to worry about anyone else.
Wishing for their dreams to come true.

Around the corner at Gai's house Iruka woke with a start.
"Is something wrong?" Kakashi asked, looking at him with concern and a suction dart on his forehead.
Normally Iruka would have answered him.
But the dude had a bright, neon yellow suction cup on his head.
Could you focus?
"What the fuck is on your head?" Kakashi wrinkled his forehead in confusion and there was a slight pop. Something fell off in his hand he looked at it. Then he started laughing.
"Oh, yeah. See, while you were sleeping-"
"Never mind." He put a hand up to silence the other.
"But-"
"Dude. Just don't tell me." Kakashi shrugged and then threw himself down on Iruka.
"What are you doing?!" the teacher screamed. Kakashi shushed him and pulled a suction dart gun out of his pocket. Carefully, he sat up and aimed it over the back of the couch.
Iruka, still being sat on, looked at the long forgotten scoreboard. Apparently they'd had to get seven more out to hold all the tallies. Gai and Kakashi were tied for 599 wins each.
"Are you kidding me?" Iruka mouthed harshly. "How long was I asleep?" he asked Kakashi.
"About two hours." Kakashi replied. He then moved lightning speed, aimed, shot, hit and won.
"Damn you, Kakashi!" Gai came out with five (or more, Iruka wasn't really counting) darts attached to him somehow. Iruka was still trying to figure out 1. How they played so many games in two hours and 2. What sort of games they played.
'That's 600 as we agreed on. Now if you don't mind, Iruka and I are going to catch a late dinner. Good night."
Gai still stood there, fuming. But h let them leave with a promise that he would beat his newly found "eternal rival" with "every ounce of youth in his body".
On the way to Mickey D's Kakashi remarked on how much fun that was and he was glad Iruka introduced them.
"You're crazy." Iruka replied. Just as they were about to open the door and enter the fast food place, Kakashi stopped him.
"Crazy in love." Iruka grinned and kissed Kakashi. In the background there was cheesy love music playing from the restaurant speakers. Can you feel the love tonight ladies ad gents?
-
To top the night off that kid with the pimples that came in before Sasuke all those chapters ago lost his virginity to the kid with the glasses that walked in before him!
And all the while the gerbil with foam coming out of his mouth was sitting in a mini lawn chair with popcorn, a flag, and a visor cheering him on psychotically.
Ah... that smell of new love.
Okay! Thank you for the reviews and I'm really sorry I've been taking a little longer with my updates.
