Chapter 3 – Reste Avec Moi?
The meal had gone swimmingly and most managed to order their food in French, impressing the staff who spoke to them in English knowing that they were from a school that wasn't from France.
It was about 8pm and everyone had bid the others goodbye, leaving Sasuke and Naruto to saunter back to their room, both feeling slightly apprehensive. "Hey, do you want to sit on the balcony for a while? The sky's lovely this time of night" Sasuke simply nodded, letting them both into the room and glancing out to see the stars twinkling spots of light into the dark room.
Neither bothered turning the lights on, but Sasuke made the unknowing gesture of lighting a few candles, it wasn't until after that he realised the type of atmosphere he had created. The room became thick with tension that neither recognised. Naruto stood somewhat nervously, waiting for Sasuke to move.
It was when the balcony door was opened, that he snapped out of his daydream about his friend. Naruto shook his head, trying desperately to push the thoughts out of his head as he joined the raven on the flowery balcony. This must have been a couple's suite, as the only outdoor seating was a rocking bench that was barely big enough for the two of them.
Sasuke tried to not notice how his friend's thigh brushed against his, as they were gently swayed by Naruto's foot.
"I'll sleep on the couch if you want me to" The voice was uncharacteristically quiet and soothing, so much so that Sasuke was taken off guard, just staring blankly at his friend.
"Don't be stupid, I'm not kicking you out of the bed Dobe" Sasuke looked at his friend and for a moment everything was still, there was no noises from birds and no sound from the guests outside. "We can share" Naruto felt Sasuke's breath on his lips, neither having realised just how close they were.
Blue eyes darted down to look at the parted lips infront of him, then back up to Sasuke's eyes, knowing that the other man saw it, but the raven said nothing.
"Can… Can I kiss you, teme?" Sasuke froze; he had just expected the blonde to do it, not bothering to see if his friend would object. With a shaky nod, Naruto took a sharp intake of breath and slowly leaned forward, just as their lips were about to meet, the balcony door from the room next to theirs was opened. Both boys flew away from eachother like they were on fire.
Hinata timidly stepped out, smiling softly at the boys before she saw the panicky looks on their faces. "I-Is everything o-ok?" They nodded briskly and Sasuke quickly made his way inside, but Naruto bid her goodnight before slowly following his roomie in. He was almost nervous as to what Sasuke's reaction would be.
It was then that Naruto had an epiphany; he realised that he truly loved his best friend and not just as a friend. Naruto hands shook, it was now or never and this time he wasn't going to ask. Sasuke went to grab his towel, deciding that he needed a calming shower before bed.
Putting every thought of doubt behind him, Naruto stalked over to Sasuke planting his hands either side of his head. "Just, let me have this, please" When there was no reply, he went for it.
Lips hurriedly met lips, as Naruto's melded against Sasuke's, coaxing the other into wanting this – needing this too.
Sasuke was shocked, he had never expected there to be such a spark that he had not felt with anyone he had kissed in the past. His hands dropped the towel and laced themselves into thick blonde hair before he could think of doing anything else.
A deep growl emitted from the blonde as he bucked slightly against Sasuke, his inner animal coming out. Sasuke loved it; the more dominant side of Naruto turned him on more than it should have. He was an Uchiha, he should be the one overpowering the Dobe, but Sasuke found himself losing in the strong grasp of the tanned hands now running over his butt.
Naruto suddenly realised how quick things were going and lurched backwards backing into the side of the bed, until his knees buckled and he fell into a sitting position on the double bed. "I'm sorry" It came out as a whisper and he avoided looking at his friend as he advanced on the blonde.
Sasuke smacked him gently - after his reaction Naruto was still dumb enough to think that Sasuke wasn't interested. "You idiot, if it bothered me I would have pushed you away, not got into it" Naruto sighed, not meeting the raven's gaze. "Fuck, Naruto do you think I would have a hard on if it didn't excite me?" Naruto blushed when he stole a glance at the bulge in Sasuke's pants, then to his own, he didn't want to rush things but he couldn't just leave his aching member to settle on its own.
There was an awkward silence as both boys tried to think of how to get rid of their problem without rushing into intercourse. "I'm going in the shower" Sasuke said slowly as if still deciding whether this was the best thing to do or not, but Naruto just nodded stating that he would go in after.
He told himself to do something to pass the time, but ended up sitting there; contemplating what it was that he wanted to come out of his and Sasuke's relationship. He jumped when someone knocked on his door, luckily the shower was quite loud, so they shouldn't hear what Sasuke was probably about to do in there.
He padded over to the door and opened it to see Kiba and Shikamaru chatting outside, the first grinning at him and pushing past. Kiba stopped to observe the one bed and burst out laughing, patting the blonde on the back.
"Naruto" He turned to Shikamaru who had a smirk on his face that made Naruto gulp. "Why do you have an erection?" Kiba just chortled even more, leaning on the TV stand for support as Naruto went red and grabbed a pillow to hold infront of his groin.
"I kissed Sasuke" That shut them up. Kiba walked over, looking into Naruto's eyes before glancing to the bathroom door. Kiba was about to make a comment but Naruto cut him off, "Not just a peck either" He fidgeted nervously under the gazes of his friends.
Shikamaru shrugged and lay down on the bed, closing his eyes. "Is there a reason you came into our room to sleep?"
"Am I not allowed to check up on my friends?" Naruto sighed but said nothing sliding in the middle of the two boys occupying the bed, just managing to fit.
"Don't bring your boner near me" Was all Sasuke heard before Naruto pushed Kiba off the bed.
