Chapter 5 – La Tour Eiffel

AN: Right, sorry if things get uploaded really slowly from now on, back to school soon, and I've got 3 stories on the go at once. Love you guys!

"Wow" The group stood under the Eiffel tower in the queue to enter, luckily Kakashi had got them the fast track tickets; otherwise they would have been standing there for hours.

The building was huge and some of the more nervous people swore they could see it sway in the wind, but nonetheless all of them were brave enough to enter the foot of the sculpture and up the stairs to the massive lift. The first lift was odd, Naruto got a shock when the lift ascended up and diagonally, rather than straight.

"What the…" Sasuke just smirked shaking his head before grabbing onto the blonde as he stumbled a bit when it jerked to a stop.

"The legs aren't straight up, so the lift can't be either Dobe" Naruto pouted, but couldn't deny that he wanted Sasuke's hand to stay on his arm and was slightly annoyed when they were forced out and into another queue.

Even from here, they were so far up it was mesmerising, they couldn't even think of what the city would look like from the top. Kiba grumbled when in ten minutes all they managed to do was shuffle forward about a metre in the huge queue for the next lift. "We're going for the one that takes you straight to the top, so we aren't running late" Everyone nodded but were all somehow occupied with something else, whether it be the person next to them or the view they had.

"So, we have some free time tonight, I was thinking of heading into the hotel pool" Naruto looked at Sasuke, and the raven knew that he was about to be invited before the blonde even asked. "You want to come with me?" Sasuke smirked and leaned on the railing that stopped them from falling.

"Swimming's not really my thing, makes my hair go frizzy" Naruto looked like a kicked puppy and when no one was looking grabbed the bottom of Sasuke's shirt, glancing at him flirtatiously.

"Oh come on teme, you know you want to" Sasuke rolled his eyes, but nodded in defeat, feeling the queue move, he gently pushed Naruto back and carried on down the line.

~S*N~

The final lift was straight up for about a minute or so, but Naruto kept jumping everytime he heard a clunk outside of the small box. They had to split it between the two, as there were just too many, so Sasuke and Naruto were in a lift full of strangers who were jabbering away in French.

After a particularly loud noise, Naruto gripped Sasuke, not bothered about the people around them who were paying them little attention.

"Dobe, don't hold so tight" He hissed trying to pry the tense boy off him but Naruto just wiggled closer, pressing their bodies together even more than before and the other people seemed to move into the space, leaving them no choice but to remain together. Sasuke felt Naruto's breath brush across his face and he tried not to blush as lips were dangerously close to his.

"Sorry teme" Sasuke was in a corner, with Naruto facing him, so the people behind the blonde couldn't see what was going on. Naruto quickly pressed his lips against his friend's hands resting against Sasuke's back pockets.

They let out a shaky breath when the lift stopped and everyone filed out into the small place that was the top of the tower, both boys trying to make themselves looks as normal as possible.

Everyone else was already there and bustling around at the edge of the platform, cameras clicking madly and excited giggles filled the air.

Naruto dragged Sasuke to the edge, diving into a spot that someone else was heading for, earning a nasty glare from them. Neither cared, for the view was amazing and in the distance they could see a hot air balloon advertising some brand that they hadn't heard of before.

Sakura and Ino squealed quietly when some French boys asked for their numbers, the teachers just ignored them, engrossed in their own conversations.

Naruto whipped out his camera and began snapping pictures, even managing to get a one of Sasuke while he wasn't looking. He had always had a love for photography, relishing in the fact that he could capture all of the beautiful memories forever.

A little girl was trying to get a look, so Naruto moved behind Sasuke, letting her in his space, but still being able to see over the raven's shoulders. Sasuke froze when tanned hand casually grabbed the bar infront of them, cheeks brushing as Naruto's head rested next to his.

"Dobe –" Naruto pushed him forward slowly until he was pressed tightly against him, successfully cutting Sasuke off.

"Tonight, is going to be the best night of your life" Sasuke gulped, he knew they had something, but he wasn't sure if he was ready for sex yet.

~S*N~

Naruto followed Sasuke into the room, waving goodbye to their friends before the door closed behind him.

Sasuke didn't even have time to take his shoes off before the blonde was on him, he soon found himself with his back against the wall lips on his, just begging for him to let him in.

Naruto whimpered when Sasuke refused, quickly stripping them both of their shirts as he moved to the pale neck, ignoring the shaking hands pulling his head back. "N-Naruto… stop!" The blonde froze, what was he doing? He was forcing something his best friend didn't want, this was rape.

He bolted back, until his back hit the opposite walls, hands flat against the solid material, eyes as wide as a deer in the headlights. "Oh my god, I am SO sorry, no…no, no, no" His head fell into his hands as he slid down the wall, not looking at Sasuke.

Hands grasped his head firmly and he was forced to look at his friend, tears glistening in the deep blue eyes. Sasuke frowned sitting down infront of the blonde.

"Look, I do want to do this with you, but not this soon" Naruto nodded, looking incredibly guilty. "On the last night" The blonde raised an eyebrow, not certain on what Sasuke was trying to tell him. "On the last night here, we're going to have sex" Naruto's mouth fell open and Sasuke just rolled his eyes.

He glanced at the clock it was already 11pm, they should really be going to bed, as tomorrow was to be just as busy.

Sasuke looked back at the blonde as they got ready for bed and slid into his side, he was already getting used to having a warm body next to his. Naruto shortly followed, seemingly nervous about something. "Um… teme?" He raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything, waiting for the blonde to continue. "Can… can I cuddle with you?" This made Sasuke sit up in surprise.

He smirked at the blush on Naruto's expectant face and laid back down, his hand beckoning the now excited blonde over. Letting out a content sigh, Naruto snuggled into Sasuke's back, arm draped over the muscular waist of the raven, inhaling his smell. "Stop sniffing me and sleep, Dobe"

Naruto just chuckled but closed his eyes nonetheless, love that he was now able to freely show his affections for his friend.
