"Naruto...Naruto! Wake up dude. You're gonna be late for class." Naruto felt himself being shaken awake by an unknown body behind him. Lifting his head he saw Kiba standing behind him with a hand on his shoulder.
"What time is it?" He asked. Taking in his surroundings he found himself in a hunched over position at his desk. He must have fallen asleep over his notes. It was finals week and he was in super cram mode. It had been a month since the incident with the party. Shuta had calmed down a bit, but she still refused to take him back. She no longer yelled at him, but she also barely spoke to him, and when she did the things that came out of her mouth were not giving him the impression that he would ever earn her forgiveness. She was on this crazy kick that Naruto was secretly queer. Her reasoning was that being drunk doesn't make you do stupid and dishonest things. They make you do stupid things that normally you would want to, but didn't have the guts to. Either way he had tried his best to change her mind. Yes, he would openly admit that he had made a mistake. A very large one, even if he hadn't gotten drunk on purpose, but it didn't change who he was. He was genuinely sorry for hurting her, and she wouldn't even accept an apology. Even if she didn't forgive him, she had earned an apology, right? All of those things about her, that he had never learned while they were together, were now coming out, and it saddened him to realize that he was quickly getting over her. Especially after finding out how she felt about people who were gay. How could she feel that way about her own brother, whether or not Sasuke had been half of this messed up situation himself. He never had thought she was such a closed minded person.
Naruto stood up from the chair and stretched, his muscles aching from the uncomfortable position he had spent the night in. He looked at the clock. It wasn't as late as Kiba had thought. He had a good two hours before his first final. All the better. He could actually relax and not be in a rush this morning, or possibly even get a few winks in a real bed. His body was hating him right now.
"So, Naruto. How's your man doing?" Kiba teased. Naruto rolled his eyes.
"He's not my man, Kiba. Matter of fact the two of us filed for the divorce just last week." Naruto defiantly pointed out, hoping to stop the endless teasing he received from his room mate. It had been non-stop since the whole mess had started. Kiba looked at him curiously. "What's that look for?" Naruto asked.
"You guys actually filed?"
"Well, yeah. Of course. I mean c'mon. We can't stay married. He's a cool guy and all, but this was all just one big drunken joke. Sometimes I wonder about you Kiba." Naruto dropped a tea bag into the cup of hot water he had procured from the kitchen. Letting it sit he took a seat on the couch and turned on the television flipping through the channels quickly. Kiba sat down next to him.
"Well, when this whole thing started you were totally freaking, and now..." Kiba went silent. Naruto turned the tv off. Sure, he had calmed down some when the shock wore off. It was normal.
"And now,... what?" He prodded, trying to get Kiba to his point
"Well... look at you guys. You're on the phone with each other twice a day, you've spent every weekend together since Shuta dumped you, and..." He pulled Naruto's left hand out of his hoodie pocket. "Don't think I don't know you never take this thing off." Naruto blushed and pulled his hand back. He hoped no one would notice that he still wore his wedding band. He sighed and gave in. He had been spending an odd amount of time with the man he was trying to divorce, but the whole situation was already confusing, and Sasuke was a cool guy. He was fun, easy to talk to, and they had a good time together while trying to fix the issue with their common conundrum. Shuta. Leaving the ring on kept him balanced, and reminded him that while he slowly missed her less each day, he still wanted to make things right with her.
"Ok. I like him alright. I thought she was crazy at first, but maybe Shuta was right. I mean. I don't think I'm gay or whatever. I mean. I don't feel anything when I look at other guys, but with him...yeah. I like him. I admit it, but that does not mean he likes me back, and that does not give me a good reason to stay married to him." Naruto sipped at his tea. It was true. They had been spending a lot of time together, but it wasn't couples stuff. They just hung out. They were the common bond now that Shuta had pretty much been ignoring them both. He just repeating this idea to himself in an effort to stave off his confusion towards the dark haired man.
"Ok dude. I just hope you know what you're doing, and don't look so sad. I've seen the way he looks at you. It's not totally platonic." Naruto looked up quickly. Kiba was so cruel. Why would he say something like that? Spark Naruto's hope?
"What are you talking about?"
"It's the way he looks at you. When he's not checking out your ass he's smiling at every little thing you say. Just talk to him about it." As if on cue the phone rang. The two men looked on as the caller id flashed "Uchiha" until Naruto answered. Kiba laughed and walked out of the room.
()
"And then she hung up on me again. I didn't even have to speak this time. I think it's a record." With Shuta still ignoring her brother's calls, Sasuke found himself beginning to actually get mad at her, but without much to do to fix it he simply vented on Naruto as the two sat eating at a table in the back of a patio-style bistro. They came here every weekend for dinner before Sasuke had to return to school. It was a long trip to make every weekend, but both of them loved their time together. On this particular night Naruto just wanted to go home.
"Sasuke...can we not talk about Shuta this week? I know you're still pissed, but I'm so sick of hearing about her. So she hung up on you. Consider yourself lucky." Sasuke eyed Naruto with a confused face. He had never been this outright about his distaste for Shuta. Sasuke hadn't even know he was more than a little annoyed with her.
"Are you okay? You seem...tense."
"Tense?"
"Okay, you seem like a little bitch. Why so moody?" Naruto was almost offended by the remark. It made him sound like a premenstrual chick, but he had to admit that Sasuke was right. He was in an inexplicably foul mood.
"I'm just not feeling well, and that makes me cranky."
"What kind of not feeling well?"
"I"m not sure. It's like I got half of the flu. I'm super exhausted, I'm sore, and I'm like...half sure I want to throw up, but only half, and it doesn't feel right." Sasuke immediately stood up and threw two twenties onto the check plate before grabbing Naruto's hand and pulling him from the chair, onto his feet.
"What are you doing?" Naruto asked, but let himself be hauled out of his chair.
"I'm taking you home." Was the only answer he got.
"But Sasuke, I wasn't done!"
"Too bad. The way I figure you're sick from either not taking care of your body during finals, or this place's food. Either way you should not be here. You should be in bed." Sasuke held Naruto's hand as they walked to the car. It felt very natural, and Sasuke didn't made a big deal of it, almost as if it was second nature for him to hold the blonde's hand. If Naruto wasn't feeling so ill he would have spent more time reveling in this new sensation, which was not at all unwelcome though he would never tell Sasuke that, but instead allowed himself to be helped into the passenger seat.
Naruto must have fallen asleep on the short car drive, because when he woke up he found himself in his bed. He looked around his room for signs of Sasuke, but there was no one. He briefly wondered how strong a man had to be in order to lift, carry, and get through multiple building doors while carrying another fully grown man, and to not even wake him up in the process. Naruto could hardly believe he had slept through a trip up an elevator in the first place, and not been dropped by Sasuke, but it was so sweet and adorable that Naruto giggled a bit. He quickly stopped when he realised he sounded like a girl. He went back to focusing on Sasuke's physical strength. Impressive. Looking at the clock he found the post-it left by his wonderful friend.
Naruto,
You were sound asleep still after carrying you in, so I didn't want to wake you up just to tell you I was leaving. I'll call you in the morning. Drink lots of fluids and skip class tomorrow...please?
Love,
Sasuke
Love. That was so cute. The clock behind the note read 9:00 so Naruto opted to just fall back asleep. He was feeling better already.
The next morning found Naruto shooting out of his bed at six o'clock for the bathroom. Emptying his stomach into the toilet bowl while you were half asleep was not a pleasant way to begin the day, and despite getting so much sleep he was still extremely tired. He didn't get it. He had felt almost fine last night before he fell back asleep, and now here he was barfing his brains out. Heaving until there was nothing left but the bile to burn his throat, Naruto felt tears rolling down his face. He hated being sick. When you threw up it was the same as crying. Your eyes ran, your nose dripped, and pretty much every bodily fluid you thought you had control of turned on you.
When he felt well enough, Naruto stood up and brushed his teeth. Wiping his mouth to go answer the ringing phone, he found himself feeling a bit better after throwing up. But wasn't it always like that?
Waking up to Sasuke's voice was something Naruto had gotten used to, and it calmed him down, but today Sasuke sounded different. He changed his mood almost visibly,despite being on the phone, when he heard Naruto was worse than the night before. He got quiet. Almost distant, and when they hung up Naruto couldn't help but be anxious.
"I'm skipping class tomorrow to come see you. I need to talk to you about some stuff, and I don't want it to be over the phone." Naruto had simply agreed, and quickly hung up the phone, before running back into the bathroom to throw up again. Whatever it was Sasuke wanted to talk about he hoped it involved something to settle his stomach.
()
Naruto spent the rest of that day agonizing over what could have possibly caused Sasuke's quick return. He couldn't think of a single thing that was so urgent. In a vain attempt to drown out his thoughts, Naruto turned on the tv. He had taken Sasuke's advice and stayed home. Lucky for him there was absolutely nothing of interest on the stupid box. Finally turning it off he decided to just read a freaking book. They couldn't be that bad. To his surprise, he quickly found himself immersed in it, and the clock read 5:00 when Kiba came back from the classes that Naruto had skipped.
"Feeling better?...Dude...You must have a hell of a fever. Are you reading a book?"
"It's actually pretty good...Kiba? What are you wearing?"
"Ummm...clothing."
Naruto rolled his eyes, but couldn't ignore the nauseating smell rolling off of his room mate.
"No. Your spray, or soap, or whatever? It's making me sick."
"Naruto, I didn't spray anything. I didn't use anything I normally don't. Are you sure you're..." Kiba didn't even finish his statement before he saw Naruto sprint for the bathroom. Following him he found the door locked. He knocked softly with no immediate response. He knocked again. Naruto finally opened the door with a tooth brush in his mouth.
"How many times have you done that today?" Kiba asked.
"This is only the third. Once when I woke up, another when I ate that muffin, and just now." Naruto finished rinsing his mouth and headed back to his book. Just like before he felt fine again.
"Have you thought about going to the doctor?"
"Nah. It's just a bit of food poisoning. The muffin was a dumb move on my part. I just gotta ride it out. I should be better in a day or so." Kiba simply nodded.
Naruto was just about to go back to his book when there was a knock at the door. Getting up to answer it, Kiba waved him off and told him to stay. Naruto simply shrugged his shoulders and opened up to the page he had left off on.
"Hey Sasuke. I thought you weren't coming back til this weekend?" Naruto's head shot up, and he turned his head to see Sasuke standing in the doorway.
"I thought you weren't coming til tomorrow?" Sasuke walked over to Naruto and sat down on the couch.
"We gotta talk. I didn't think this could wait."
"What couldn't wait?" Kiba asked. Sasuke looked up at him.
"Kiba. You know I love you, man, but could you give us a couple minutes?" Kiba simply nodded.
"I'll be down in the common room if you need me." Kiba took his leave with a glance given to Naruto that read, 'Tell me later.'
"Sasuke. What is this all about? You're acting weird."
"I've been thinking about how you've been sick lately, and it just seems weird, and...I think..."
"Spit it out, Sasuke."
"I think you might be pregnant." Naruto blinked, and began to laugh.
"Sasuke, you're paranoid. I have a bit of food poisoning. It'll be gone in a couple days."
"Just...think about it Naruto. It's been what...a little over a month since that night we met. That's right when morning sickness kicks in, and you've been super tired, and sore all the time."
"You're being paranoid. Think about it Sasuke." Naruto threw Sasuke's own ridiculous words back at him. Was this man crazy? Sure it was oddly coincidental, but also extremely unlikely. "I ate a bad wrap at the diner. I got food poisoning. I just finished finals, and I sleep on desks. I've had a few bad weeks...look...I can understand why you think that. I mean. With something like what happened...we were drunk, we didn't use protection, the timing is right, of course you're gonna stress over me being this sick, but I promise you I'm fine." Naruto wrapped his arms around Sasuke and hugged him tightly. It wasn't normal for them to hug like that, but Naruto took the excuse of comfort to get a good feel of the man he might...repeat might...have not so platonic feelings for. It was sweet really. Sasuke worrying about him like this. Crazy nonsense, but sweet crazy nonsense. Sadly, Sasuke didn't hug back. Naruto pulled away and looked at him.
"This has you really worried doesn't it, Sasuke?"
"A little yes, but like you said...you can't blame me for thinking that."
"What's it going to take to make you realize that everything is okay?" Sasuke pulled a box from his messenger bag. It had the letters E.P.T. on it, and Naruto almost laughed out loud again, but restrained himself. Sasuke was really worked up over this. Naruto wondered if that was how girls felt when their period was a few days late.
"Take this. I know it seems stupid to you, but it'll make me feel a lot better. Please. Just to put my mind at ease." Sasuke's face was the portrait of pleading and desperation. Naruto simply nodded and kissed his friend on the cheek. Standing up they headed for the bathroom.
"This will take about two minutes, and then you'll see. Everything is okay, and I just have a bad immune system. Then we'll both have a good laugh because I was right, and there is nothing to worry about." Naruto smiled before closing the bathroom door behind him while Sasuke sat on the bed for the longest two minutes he ever experienced in his life.
After about five minutes had passed Sasuke heard a loud thump come from the bathroom and knocked on the door before walking in. He found Naruto sitting on the floor in front of the sink , the small stick held up in front of his eyes.
"Don't laugh. I was wrong." Naruto waved the plus sign in front of Sasuke, who immediately joined Naruto on the floor staring at said stupid stick.
Sitting against the base of the sink, both boys stared into the tiles, hoping to find some sort of salvation in them. Sasuke was the first to speak.
"Maybe it's a false positive. Umm...take another one?" Naruto looked at Sasuke incredulously
"It's called an error proof test, Sasuke, not false positive test, and weren't you the one who was so sure I was pregnant in the first place? Geezes. I never thought this could happen to me.
"No one ever does Naruto."
"Yeah, but I always figured it was because I was a straight dude. If I had known I was gay I would have been more prepared for this kind of thing."
"Since when are you gay?" Sasuke asked a bit surprised. There was way too much information floating around this room right now.
"Not now Sasuke. That's not what we need to focus on. What are we going to do?" Naruto ran his fingers through his hair, a sure sign of stress and exhaustion, and Sasuke honed in on it immediately.
"How are you feeling?" Naruto looked up at him. Sasuke looked surprisingly calm.
"What?"
"How are you feeling? This doesn't have to be solved right this second, and I think if you're not feeling too great then maybe we can just talk about this when you are."
Naruto shrugged his shoulders. In truth his nausea had passed for the moment, but he was in fact pretty tired, and his back was starting to hurt from being pressed up against the cabinet.
"I've felt worse today. I'm kinda tired. That's about it. Although now that I don't think I'm gonna faint from shock... I don't exactly hate the idea of getting off this floor." Barely a second passed after the words left Naruto's lips before Sasuke was on his feet and helping Naruto off the floor. Making sure he was steady he led him to the bedroom where he coaxed him into a laying position. Getting in behind him, Sasuke was surprised to find no resistance when he wrapped Naruto in his arms, and pulled the blanket around them. Naruto sighed, and snuggled as close to Sasuke's warm body as possible, grateful for the contact. He was feeling very lucky at the moment that Sasuke seemed like a pretty sensitive guy. Like it or not they were linked now. He wasn't going to fight his feelings about the man anymore.
"Sasuke...what are we going to do?" Sasuke pulled Naruto closer to him still, and rubbed his arms in what he hoped was a comforting way.
"Shh. You're tired. Take a nap. We can talk about it when you wake up." Naruto simply nodded his head, and shut his eyes. Closing his own Sasuke took the opportunity to get some sleep himself. Just as he was about to drift off he heard Naruto speak again.
"I'm going to keep this baby Sasuke. There is no discussion on that matter."
"...Ok Naruto." Sasuke placed a kiss to the back of Naruto's head, and the two of them drifted off into sleep.
When Sasuke woke up he was alone. Looking at the clock he was surprised to find that it had only been about an hour since they had laid down to nap. The only difference was that Naruto was now missing from the bed. The sun had almost completely set now, and Sasuke went about turning on some lights. Navigating his way through the empty dorm, Sasuke was met with nothing but darkness. Bumping into the couch, he rounded the corner into the kitchen. He saw a dim strip of light coming out from underneath the bathroom door, and when he reached it he heard the sounds of what was clearly Naruto's sobbing. He knocked softly.
"Naruto? May I come in?" The sobbing quickly stopped, save a few sniffles. The reply came muffled, but audible.
"Yeah Sasuke. C'mon in." Sasuke slowly turned the knob, and stepped into the small space. Naruto was sitting on the floor, the same spot he had been only a little over an hour ago, and he had obviously been crying. His eyeliner was almost completely off, and his eyes were red. Sasuke took his spot on the floor next to him again, and slid an arm around the blonde's shoulders.
"Hey. You alright?" Naruto shook his lowered head in an obvious gesture of the answer no.
"You wanna talk to me about it?" The question was met at first with silence, and the with a sudden burst of sobs from Naruto. Head in his hands, he began crying full force again, completely unashamed of doing so in front of Sasuke. Sasuke pulled him closer, and Naruto turned into the arm that was around him. Holding the crying boy, Sasuke wrapped his arms around Naruto's shaking form, holding him tightly.
"Hey. Shhh. It's okay. Shhh. Talk to me. Tell me what's wrong." Sasuke gave Naruto time to cry a bit before expecting an answer. Eventually Naruto's sobs died a bit, and he lifted his head to look Sasuke in the eyes
"I'm scared Sasuke. I wasn't expecting something like this. Ever. In my whole life. I wasn't prepared for being the pregnant half of a couple, well...not a couple, but a couple of people. I don't know what to do, and I'm scared." He heard, and felt, Sasuke sigh heavily while tightening his grip on him. The warmth of his body comforted Naruto, if only slightly.
"Of course you're scared Naruto. You have every reason to be afraid. I'm scared shitless right now too, so I can't even begin to imagine how you must be feeling, but everything is going to be fine. You're gonna be fine, we're going to be fine. Everything will be okay."
"No. I'm not." Naruto suddenly sat up straight in Sasuke's arms.
"Wait...what."
"I'm not fine. I'm gonna be sick." Naruto lunged for the toilet, throwing up whatever happened to be in his stomach, which was basically nothing. Sasuke scooched over to where he was and held his bangs back for him. After a bit the retching stopped, and Naruto stood up to wash his mouth out. Drying his mouth on the towel that Sasuke handed to him, he placed his hands on the sink's counter and looked at his reflection in the mirror. He was pale, and his eyes were still red from crying. His hair was messed up, but his stomach was, not surprisingly, feeling better after his awful vomiting.
"What are we going to do Sasuke?" He asked.
"Let's just go into the living room to talk about this. I'll get you some tea, and a few crackers or something." Naruto simply nodded, and exited the bathroom.
Settling himself on the couch, Naruto waited for Sasuke to return from the kitchen. The tea was set on the coffee table in front of him, but he didn't touch it. He wasn't thirsty, but he ate a few crackers as Sasuke took a spot next to him. They sat in silence for a few moments before Sasuke spoke.
"So what are we going to do?"
"I told you. I'm having this baby Sasuke. I won't have an abortion, nor will I discuss it as an option."
"I never asked you to have one Naruto. I never even suggested it, nor do I believe it would be a proper solution."
"You don't?"
"No. Naruto, I'd like to think we've gotten pretty close. I know how you feel about that kind of thing, and I would never dream of hurting you by suggesting something like that. What I mean is...do you want...when you say you want to keep the baby, do you mean you want to like...keep keep it, or did you want to discuss adoption?" Naruto thought about this. He had no clue what he wanted. He knew on a basic level that he wasn't ready for a kid, but on the other hand he sort of liked the idea. And it would be with Sasuke, a little piece of both of them wrapped up in this little child they both created one crazy night, and he had always wanted children.
"I want to keep it. I want it for myself I think. I mean. I know it'll be crazy, and difficult, but I want this baby. How it happened doesn't really bother me now that I've thought about it for a bit." Naruto looked Sasuke in the eyes as he said it. Sasuke put his arm back around Naruto's shoulders. He kissed him on the forehead and pulled him close.
"Okay then...we'll make this work"
"Really?" Naruto asked. "Just like that?"
"Yes, just like that. We'll make it work. This is your body, and therefore your decision."
"So you don't want to keep it? You're just agreeing with me because you don't really care either way?"
"Now Naruto. I never said that. I do want to keep it. I love children. Sure, I never really thought about my own, or even had to until now, but I don't hate the idea. If you had said you didn't want it I would have gone with that too. We'll make this work. I promise." Naruto layed his head down on Sasuke's lap.
"Why are you being so cool about this Sasuke?"
"I told you. I like you. A lot, as a matter of fact, and even if I'm not your type...so to speak...I can't help thinking this has happened for a reason of some sort, so I'm just gonna go with my gut, do what feels right, and let things happen." Sasuke's head was down, eyes almost shut, and suddenly Naruto felt horrible. He should have figured Sasuke had a thing for him. He probably did know that if he thought hard enough, but he couldn't make Sasuke any promises. He sure as hell couldn't stand looking at that sad face anymore though either.
"I do like you Sasuke, but it's weird for me. I've been straight my whole life. I've never even thought about the other side, or even wanted to. I can't promise you anything like that, as badly as you may or may not want me to. Even if we have this baby, which I guess we've decided we are, that doesn't necessarily mean I'm going to be with you in that way. I'm not saying I won't be able to see you that way... someday, but right now I'm seriously confused. Please don't misunderstand me though. I do like you, and I absolutely want to explore that...I just won't make you any promises right now. I can't, and even if I tried it would not be fair to you for me to say such things simply to make you feel better. I want to be open and honest with you, and at the moment I don't know exactly how I feel about anything. Only that I do like you, and that I'm curious to see if we could work things out that way...slowly."
"I wasn't asking you to, and I guess under the circumstances the fact that you want to see if things would work with us in any romantic capacity at all is more than I could ask for right now. This has all happened very fast. Hey! What you say we get some more sleep? You look like you could use a bit more. Worry about the details in the morning, huh?" Sasuke stroked his fingers down the side of Naruto's face sweetly, and Naruto closed his eyes, leaning into the comforting touch.
"Yeah. I'm pretty run down." Naruto sat up on the sofa, and let Sasuke help him off the couch. He was seriously beat. Exhausted emotionally, mentally, as well as physically, but at least we wasn't nauseous anymore.
Having never even changed out of his pajamas that morning, Naruto simply slipped right under the covers. He watched as Sasuke took his clothing out of a duffel bag in the corner and went into the bathroom to change. As he reemerged Naruto took a moment to study his half naked form for the first time. Sasuke was tall, and lean, but with enough muscle to not look overly skinny. Without a shirt, Naruto could easily see the intricate tattoo of random splotches starting at his neck, and running down the full length of his left side. While he couldn't say looking this way at another guy drove him to crazy thoughts of lust, he could admit that Sasuke was indeed very attractive.
Sasuke walked over to the bed and sat on the edge of it. Pushing a stray piece of hair out of Naruto's face he leaned down and kissed Naruto on the forehead, whispering a soft "Goodnight" in his ear. Standing up , Sasuke turned to head for the sofa, only to have his hand grabbed by Naruto.
"You don't have to sleep out there. C'mon. Stay in here with me. It's more comfortable." The idea of Sasuke spending the night on a sofa after they had already napped so closely in each others arms seemed stupid. Naruto pulled Sasuke back towards the bed, and watched as Sasuke slowly slipped in next to him, facing him, and placing his hand softly, and almost shyly, on his hip.
"Get some sleep, Naruto." He said, and shut his eyes. A few minutes later the silence was broken with Naruto's soft voice.
"Sasuke? Are you still awake?"He asked.
"Yeah Naruto. What's up?"
"Can I ask you something? I wanted to try something."
"Sure. What is it?" There was a few seconds pause before Naruto spoke again. His voice was low, and soft, almost as if he wasn't sure about what he wanted to ask now.
"May I kiss you?" The words were so soft they were almost unheard. Naruto watched Sasuke smile lightly, and nod his head in the light from the window. Moving closer to him, Naruto leaned in and placed the smallest amount of pressure on Sasuke's lips with his. Holding them there for a few seconds Naruto seemed to relax. Silently hoping this kind of initiative didn't scare Naruto off, Sasuke put his hand on the back of Naruto's neck and pulled him just a bit closer, letting their lips rest softly together, giving Naruto time to reflect on the new sensation, before adding more pressure, and taking a small nip at his bottom lip. Naruto gave a small moan and wrapped his arms around Sasuke's back, trailing his nails up and down it. Sasuke mentally high fived himself at the success. Naruto took the initiative that had been initially scarey, but yet so fruitful to the next level. He slipped his tongue the smallest amount of the way into Sasuke's mouth, only to have it sucked in by his expert lips. Naruto let Sasuke roll him over onto his back and take the dominant position. Sasuke cupped the back of Naruto's head in one hand, while holding him closely with the other. He sucked on Naruto's tongue for a few more seconds before releasing it to allow it full access to his own mouth. He felt Naruto slowly, and experimentally, glide their muscles together, explore the roof of his mouth, and pull Sasuke's own tongue into his mouth to see what the other side of the experience felt like. The woman he had dated in the past rarely delved into his own mouth, almost always submitting to his male authority. It was not completely unlike kissing a woman, he thought, but yet was. Sasuke was stronger. He took the dominant position Naruto was used to having, but let him have it freely. The warm body on top of him, the soft, yet completely satisfying way their lips and tongues fit together, and how simply sweet it felt to be held so gently while they kissed slightly passionately was intoxicating to him in na way he had not expected. Letting their tongues mix for a good ten minutes or so, Naruto thoroughly enjoyed himself. He couldn't remember anything from the only other time they had done this, and he was totally pissed he had missed it. Sasuke slowly brought the heat of the kiss down, letting it come to it's natural end, and rolled back over onto his side of the bed, pulling Naruto close to have him rest his head on Sasuke's chest. Naruto sighed happily, giving him a tiny kiss good night, and quickly falling into sleep. Sasuke simply looked at the boy's sleeping form happily, finally drifting off himself.
