Chapter 3: Kisses are Contagious

"In a second you'll be wrapped around my finger, cause I can, cause I can do it better!"

Neji and Naruto looked on as the high school students on the huge dance floor grinded their bodies together and danced, some freshmen and sophomores half drunk from off the punch with the infusion of the music.

"Hey hey, you you! I don't like your girlfriend! No way no way, I think you need a new one! Hey hey you you, I could be your girlfriend!"

Neji and Naruto would never dance like that, especially to this song…even if they were on a date. The fangirls in the corner had kept their promise and were on surveillance 24/7, even when they were dancing. It was ten minutes till 10:30, almost time for the dance to end, and Neji and Naruto hadn't danced once. Actually, they found themselves more than content to just talk to each other. Suddenly the pumping music stopped and a much slower beat replaced it. Neji knew that this would probably be the last slow dance of the night even though there was time left for about three more songs.

"And I'd give up forever to touch you, 'cause I know that you feel me somehow. You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be, and I don't wanna go home right now…"

Couples flocked to the floor for the last slow dance and their last opportunity for PDA at school without being caught. The lights dimmed and dappled the walls and floor, revolving slowly around the huge room.

Neji pushed himself off of the wall he was leaning against, and taking a deep breath, he held out his hand to Naruto.

"Want to dance?" he asked, trying to sound confident.

Naruto blinked and then laughed, embarrassed. "Right, the fangirl thing," he said. "I totally forgot."

"No…" Neji said. "I'd just like to dance with you…if you'll let me." Naruto flushed a light pink, and Neji couldn't help but admire how utterly adorable he looked.

"S-sure," Naruto said, and tentatively reached out his hand to accept Neji's. Neji led them both to the floor and placed his hands on Naruto's waist while Naruto reached his arms up nervously to place on Neji's shoulders. They locked their gazes as they slowly swayed to the music.

Naruto's sea-spray eyes looked all the more elegant and beautiful under the dim lights like sapphire silk, and Neji felt himself become lost in their depth.

Man, Neji's hands were warm! When were they so warm? Naruto hand always imagined Neji's hands to be cold for some reason, but they were utterly and wonderfully warm. Naruto wondered if the rest of Neji was as warm as his hands, and before he knew what he was doing, he found himself winding his arms around Neji's neck and leaning into him to rest his head on his shoulder. Neji was bewildered and overjoyed at this, and he kindly accepted the close proximity as Naruto's body was flush up against his own as they swayed.

Neji was warm! Naruto felt a comforting sensation settle at the pit of his stomach and he breathed in deeply, Neji's scent of the ocean overwhelming him with pleasure and tranquility. Neji also inhaled Naruto's own unique scent of…what was that? Neji took another deep breath to identify the wonderful smell.

"He smells like the rain…" Neji thought to himself as he pulled Naruto closer and the scent overwhelmed him.

"And I don't want the world to see me, cause I don't think that they'd understand. When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am."

Neji felt ecstatic at the fact that it was Naruto to close the gap between them when dancing. He definitely didn't want to push Naruto. Wait…what about that kiss they were supposed to have? What if Naruto got freaked off and ran? Oh boy… Was it worth it just to keep the fangirls away? Neji pondered this for a moment. Well, they were very annoying. VERY. It would be nice to be left alone for once, but at the cost of Naruto's trust? Never. But what if he didn't mind?

"When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am."

Neji suddenly pulled away a bit to lock eyes with Naruto. Well, it was now or never.

Neji eased his face closer to Naruto's, stopping about an inch away. He needed some kind of conformation, something that told him that Naruto wouldn't run away and shun him forever. Neji's breath ghosted over Naruto's face as he fought an inner war with himself.

"Oh damn, the kiss! The kiss! I totally forgot!" one side cried fearfully.

"Yes! About time, geez!" the other said victoriously. Wait, did he want to kiss Neji? Naruto felt his face flush scarlet as he looked into Neji's eyes. Why didn't he just kiss him already and get it over with? Wait…was he asking permission? Naruto smiled inwardly. Neji was always to understanding with him. Naruto tried to speak, but his voice caught in his throat and he couldn't make a sound. Suddenly Neji inclined his head ever so slightly and pressed his lips gently against Naruto's. Naruto was shocked, excited, bewildered, ecstatic, baffled…and anything else you could think of bordering on those emotions.

Wow…Neji had really soft lips. Naruto closed his eyes and pressed a bit into the kiss for more pressure.

The fangirls to the side gasped, gaped, and one in the back fainted.

"Tiff, what're we gonna do!?" a brunette close to tears cried. The leader smirked nervously.

"I-it's not French yet! They could be acting! Yea! Naruto can do anything after all!" Her followers crossed their fingers and nodded.

The slow music in the background switched as the song Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls ended, and a new upbeat one came on.

"Baby can't ya see, I'm callin'? A guy like you, should wear a warnin'. It's dangerous, I'm fallin'."

A sensation filled Naruto's insides as Neji gently caressed his lips with his own. He even tasted like the ocean! But it wasn't salty and didn't make Naruto cringe like usual for some reason. It was like the rush Naruto got after coming through a wave barrel on his surfboard.

"The taste of your lips, I'm on a ride. You're toxic, I'm slippin' under. The taste of a poison paradise. I'm addicted to you, cause you know that you're toxic."

Wait a minute…this was supposed to be a French kiss, right?

"Oh boy," Naruto thought as he prepared himself. He gasped a bit when Neji's tongue slipped out and ran along the crease of Naruto's lips, asking for entrance. Naruto definitely wanted those girls to leave him alone, so he parted his lips to grant Neji entrance. Naruto braced himself and preset thoughts immediately popped into his head.

"Yuck! This is disgusting! And gross! And nasty! And…mmmm…."

Yes, Neji definitely tasted like the ocean waves, no doubt. Naruto reached up and wrapped his arms around Neji's neck as he felt his legs become weak beneath him. Luckily Neji held his arms more tightly around Naruto, supporting him. Naruto twined his fingers in Neji's soft russet locks and tilted his head back to allow Neji more entrance to his mouth as thanks, which Neji gladly accepted. Naruto could no longer deny it. Neji tasted good. He liked Neji kissing him, he liked the heat radiating off of their bodies pressed together, and he liked feeling weak as long as Neji was there to hold him up.

Neji couldn't really put his finger on what was better- how Naruto smelled, or how Naruto tasted. He debated this as he mapped out Naruto's mouth, savoring every sensation. He tasted addictively sweet, like a candy that you never got enough of. Neji couldn't quite place what it was, but swore that Naruto must have been an angel, because he tasted like heaven. There was no better word for it. When Naruto moved his hands up to Neji's hair and started running his fingers through it, and in turn tilting his head back, Neji thought he might die from pleasure. He hoped he wasn't dreaming. He wrapped his arms more tightly around Naruto's slim waist. Nope, not dreaming.

The fangirls in the corner squealed and gasped as they watched their beloved Naruto being kissed by someone. But that someone was a guy. No! It couldn't be true! Naruto was gay!? Not their beloved walking sex god! Over in the opposite corner Neji's fangirl's were thinking of the exact same thing as many of them fainted and experienced heart attacks. Neji smirked into the passionate kiss. Mission complete. But Neji felt that even though he was sure that they had won, he couldn't pull away from Naruto. Naruto also felt the same as though his feet were glued to the floor. But a few mere seconds later Naruto's lungs started burning and begging for air. He whimpered a bit, and Neji understood and broke the kiss.

The duo were flushed and panting, eyes glazed over with the remnants of the loving kiss as they kept their hold on each other and caught their breath.

"Now that was a kiss," Naruto thought to himself. He inclined his head forward and leaned it on Neji's firm chest, feeling almost drained. Neji smiled. He felt proud to be the one to take Naruto's breath away.

"L-leave?" Neji asked breathlessly. Naruto pulled away from Neji and nodded.

Elsewhere….

Shino lay panting on the wooden floor of his living room, Kiba beside him with his head resting on Shino's chest. Both their faces were flushed red, the duo tired. Kiba propped his head up on Shino's chest, covered by his dark blue t-shirt, and smirked. Shino looked down at Kiba and sent him a half-hearted glare.

"You're lucky my Uncle is working late in the repair shop. You practically molested me you jerk," he breathed.

"Hmm…you can't really call it that when the person opposite to you doesn't protest at all and in fact takes part in it," Kiba replied with a smile. Shino made a childish "hmph" noise and turned his gaze to the side.

"Bastard," he pouted.

Kiba grinned picked himself up a bit to give Shino a quick peck on the lips.

"Yes," he replied. "But I'm your bastard."

Back with our favorite golden-haired teen…

The car ride back to Naruto's house was surprisingly not awkward or silent. Neji had the radio up loudly and they were both tapping out the beat with their hands and feet, singing in beautiful harmony together. Naruto's voice was of course always angelic, but who knew that Neji could sing so well?


"Comin' out of my cage and I been doin' just fine. Gotta, gotta be down because I want it all. It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this? It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss."

Naruto looked at Neji and smiled as they sang along to the words happily, the kiss still lingering on their lips and adrenaline running through them. Neji made a left turn into his long drive way which made Naruto stop and look out the window.

"What're we doing at your place?" he asked. He had nothing against Neji's house- it was his second home and incredibly huge. But Neji hated it. It was always big and empty and reeked of the solitude his parents left behind when they worked.

"You didn't think I was just going to take you to the dance and that would be it, did you?" Neji replied, sending a warm smile Naruto's way that shot right down his spine.

"I-I didn't know," Naruto said pathetically.

A few moments later the car was parked and the duo were walking down the massive hallway of the mansion, Neji leading Naruto by the hand.

"Where're we going?" Naruto asked. He had never been down this hallway before. Neji smiled.

"You'll see."

They approached two huge doors only seconds later. They swung open as the two handsome teens approached, and Naruto assumed there were servants behind opening the massive doors. Naruto gaped at the site. The room had thousands of seats all lined up in neat rows in an oval shape. In the middle, was a colossal ice rink as one seen at the Olympics. Music was playing around the stadium from the satellite radio and it reverberated off of the empty walls and bare seats.

"W-wow!" Naruto breathed in amazement. He didn't even notice Neji's hand still wrapped warmly around his own.

"My parents used to host a big ice skating tournament since before I was born. But when I showed up, they suddenly got too busy with work and said that I could have it. So…here we are," Neji explained with a bit of sadness that soon morphed into pride.

"You want to skate?"

"Can we!?" Neji could never turn down that look. He nodded.

"Well, we didn't come here to just stare at it."

A moment later they were both saddled with skates.

"N-Neji? I-I just remembered…I can't skate!" Naruto said nervously as he wobbled out onto the ice. Neji went ahead of him and slid gracefully onto the smooth surface, turning in a half circle to face him.

"I'll teach you," he said.

"You skate a lot?"

"A little."

"Show me!"

"Um…"

"Please?"

"Fine, fine."

Naruto watched in amazement as Neji's skates glided along the ice, making tight turns and spraying ice, and treading backwards on the thin metal supports. Then in one fluid motion Neji threw his body to the air in a beautiful spin, and landed flawlessly on one skate. Naruto gaped as he skid to a stop in front of Naruto.

"That bad?" he asked nervously.

"No way! You were awesome! You should be a professional!!!" Naruto cried enthusiastically, and he meant every word.

Neji felt himself swell with pride at Kira's words. His servants had complimented him many times, but this was Naruto. The person he hopelessly and utterly loved.

"Your turn," Neji said, and Naruto's smile fell.

"I-I can't!"

"C'mon, I'll help." Neji took Naruto's hand and led him trembling onto the ice.

"Now push forward into the ice with your foot to get going."

Naruto tried to follow instructions, but before he cloud he lost his footing. He prepared for impact, but instead landed in Neji's warm arms.

"Here…" Neji turned Naruto around and placed his arms gently around his waist. Naruto blushed heavily, but Neji didn't seem to notice.

"Now push forward, I'll help," Neji said. "I've got you." Naruto dug his foot pick into the ice and pivoted off, Neji doing the same ever so lightly, and they were off.

"Told you that you could do it," Neji said as he watched Naruto fold his arms behind his back and sashay across the ice. Even though he was just gliding, Naruto looked almost angelic, his golden locks billowing behind him like a silk curtain, and his blue eyes bright and brilliant. He was utterly beautiful. He came to a stop in front of Neji and flashed him a hundred watt smile.

"Yea, thanks to you!"

"Think you can keep up with me now?"

"Is that a challenge?"

"Maybe…"

"You're on!"

Naruto watched Neji perform his moves in graceful fluidity, a bird on the winds reaching for heaven, and then looked at Naruto, waiting. Naruto took a deep breath and pivoting his foot pick, brought his arms in tight to his body and spun, then halted his body. He had imitated Neji's moves perfectly, and Neji was too captured in how amazing Naruto had looked then to even be a bit ruffled. He decided to take it a step further, and picking up a bit of speed he threw his body into the air and did a triple before landing and gliding off.

Naruto breathed in. He picked up speed, and threw himself in the air. He spun, and readied his leg for the shock of impact. Suddenly though his balance came undone, and he was sent crashing on the ice.

"Naruto!" Neji called out worriedly and skated quickly over to him.

"Are you ok?"

Naruto smirked up at Neji.

"What do I looked like, a girl?" he said, and reaching out an arm he tugged Neji down to the ice with him. They both laughed, then abruptly stopped as they realized how close their faces were, and the memory of the previous kiss burned in their minds. Neji was currently on top of Naruto, straddling him on the thick ice. Naruto's golden hair splayed over the ice a bit, and his face was brushed pink from the cold. In other words, he looked utterly adorable.

"Naruto…" Neji said quietly.

"A-about that kiss…"

"Don't worry, I know it was all for the fangirls," Naruto replied.

"Yes…and no. Mostly no."

"Hm?"

"Naruto, I've been wanting to kiss you for so long….do you remember that day when you threw my surprise party?"

"Y-yea…"

"And remember when you asked me what I was going to say, and I said it was that you're my best friend too?"

"Yea…"

Neji leaned down his forehead so that it was touching Naruto's.

"What I really wanted to tell you that day…was that I'm in love with you Naruto."

Naruto's eyes grew wide and his breath hitched in his throat.

"I love everything about you, the good and the bad, and I want to be beside you always…so Naruto, I ask you…do you love me?"

"I-I….I don't know. I-I never thought about it."

"Guess we'll have to go on a couple more dates to find out, huh?"

Naruto nodded and Neji felt himself light up inside. There was definitely hope, no doubt!

"Naruto…can I kiss you?"

Naruto thought about this for a moment. Did he love Neji? Well, another kiss wouldn't hurt in helping him on the road to finding out. He nodded to Neji.

This time the space was closed much more quickly as Neji couldn't contain himself, and he swooped his head down to capture Naruto's lips with his own, first softly, and then morphed into passion.

Naruto responded almost immediately, raising his arms to wrap around Neji's neck. Neji let his hands travel from Naruto's shoulders down to settle on his waist, the simple motion setting Naruto aflame. Naruto opened his mouth to allow Neji entrance as soon as he had requested it, wanting to taste him again. Neji mapped out Naruto's mouth even more thoroughly than last time and savored every second. It was a better taste than heaven, indescribable to Neji. He could only express this new dazzling taste as Naruto. Neji parted for air, knowing Naruto must have been out of breath too, before their hot mouths were pressed back against each other. Naruto moved his hands down to Neji's shirt, gripping it tightly, his body aching for more contact between them. Neji complied and ran his hands back up to Naruto's chest and then down again to rest on his hips. Naruto let out a small groan of pleasure into the kiss, sending a shock through Neji. Neji broke for air again, and Naruto whined quietly at the loss of contact.

So Neji, to make up for his need of air, began to trail feather light kisses along Naruto's jaw line and worked down his neck, Naruto making small mmm's of pleasure all the while. Neji stopped at the bridge between Naruto's collar bone and neck, and bit down lightly. Naruto let out a gasp, and Neji quickly moved his head back up to give Naruto a calming kiss. He then moved back down to the now red and swollen spot, and kissed it tenderly.

"Neh…Neji…" Naruto breathed, his face as flushed as Neji's. Neji moved back up to tend to Naruto's mouth again. Neji wanted to hear Naruto say his name so breathlessly, so pleadingly. Naruto combed his fingers through Neji's loose, soft chestnut hair so soothingly that Neji thought he would pass out from pleasure.

Neji parted one last time, and after giving Naruto a quick peck on the cheek, he lifted himself off the teen, Naruto pouting a bit. They sat there on the ice panting for a while before Neji asked,

"Want to watch a movie?"

Naruto nodded enthusiastically and Neji smiled. He was so easy to please.

Neji popped open CHAINSAW IV from its case and slid it into the DVD player in his den by the huge plasma screen TV. Naruto was settled in a corner of the couch, watching the rain fall outside. They were lucky to have not been stuck in the brewing storm on the way back from the dance.

Neji flipped off the lights and started the movie, flopping down next to Naruto, but with given space in between them.

Naruto let his attention fall back to the movie, and the two sat and watched in silence.

"BOOM!" Suddenly the storm outside grew very heavy and the thunder rumbled overhead and lightning flashed across the window panes, lighting the room. Naruto pulled his knees to his chest to a bit and Neji looked at him anxiously. Naruto hated thunderstorms, since many houses that were struck by lightning were set aflame…and in turn bringing bad memories bubbling to the surface Another flash rippled across the window, and Naruto shut his eyes and held his legs tighter. Then suddenly the movie was paused, and Naruto found his head laying on something soft and warm. He looked up through his golden locks, a bit baffled, and saw Neji smiling down at him.

"Scared much?" he said teasingly.

Naruto pouted a bit, but when another lightning strike resounded through the house in a huge rumbling echo, Naruto found himself clinging to Neji for comfort. He wrapped his arms around Neji's middle and buried his face into his ocean scented chest. Neji sighed.

"Shh, it's ok," he said softly to Naruto, running his finger's through his golden mane soothingly while the other wrapped protectively around his shoulders like a cocoon. Another boom of lightning and thunder collided, and Naruto moved his grip to the front of Neji's shirt, constantly keeping his head down.

"It's ok," Neji said comfortingly, and he gently took Naruto's chin on the tip of his fingers and made him look up.

"Don't be afraid. I'm here," Neji whispered, before lowering his face to Naruto's in a soft and utterly consoling kiss.

Naruto nodded, blushing so adorably that Neji thought he might have to kiss him senseless. Naruto glanced over at the clock clicking on the wall.

"I-I have to get home soon…" he said, but Neji shook his head.

"No way are we going out in this," he said, and Naruto didn't protest.

Neji slowly opened his eyes and then closed them again, not wanting to get up. Wait…when had he fallen asleep? Right, comforting Naruto.

Neji had never felt so warm and cozy on his couch before. He gripped his pillow tighter, pulling it's warmth to this chest, and it made a soft groan. Wait…it groaned? Neji looked down and saw a gold mat of wild blond locks, spiky but utterly soft to the touch. Now he remembered. Naruto had been tired, and through Neji's soothing gestures, had fallen asleep on his date…not that he was complaining.

Neji swiped back Naruto's golden locks and gave him a feather light kiss on the forehead before slipping back into a light sleep. He wanted this moment to stretch on forever.
