Song: "Something to Believe in" – Parachute
Sasuke was staring out the window, watching the sun go down on the city. He was surprised how beautiful it all really was. He had never seen any of that when he lived on the streets… now… now he felt almost alive. He was still sipping his tea, leaning his forehead on the glass, he followed the tiny ant-like cars with his eyes.
Naruto exclaimed that he needed a shower and disappeared into the bathroom. Sasuke wasn't sure what he was doing in there, sure as hell not showering. There was a ringing silence but really, he couldn't follow the blonde around like a puppy. He forced himself to stay put and not interfere.
He pulled out the cell from his pocket, it gleamed in the last rays of the sun. Brand new and he supposed, top of the line quality, he used his finger to slide it open and stared into the screen. Naruto had taught him how to use all the options, download apps and access the internet. But the first thing Sasuke did was open the camera and snap a picture of Naruto.
He didn't like them, he said, and turned his head down making sure his hair his his face. Sasuke decided that Naruto might have as well become a model. The picture was exquisite in his opinion, the golden hair filtered by the sun, and Naruto's mock angry eyes peeking out from behind, the blue vibrant against the gold.
He decided he loved the camera.
As soon as he snapped it he put it as his wallpaper. Naruto probably thought he had deleted it.
He looked at it now, and wondering what the hell that man was doing in the bathroom for so long. He looked back to the coffee table, there lay his new laptop. He already knew how to do most basic functions on it, and he cared little to learn the rest of the mechanical data that Naruto had down pat so well. Not that he'd be using much of it.
The sun had s3et now completely, and Sasuke noted the room had fallen into darkness. He made his way over to the switch and clicked it on. Still no sound from the bathroom.
He sat back down on the couch and placed his cup before him. What to do when one didn't want to look too nosy? Not that he was… usually, but the pills he had seen Naruto down were on his mind still.
He sighed and made to get up again, and that's when his sided split into moderate pain.
It was a first for Sasuke… to be happy that he had a killing pain just to have an excuse to go into the bathroom and see what was going on.
He stumbled a bit, and legitimately cursed in pain, the sudden spasm had his muscles pulling where they shouldn't. Nevertheless, he made it and lightly rapped on the door. It opened almost instantly to reveal a sober looking blonde, eyes a bit too wide for Sasuke's liking but overall looking quite nonchalant and overly innocent… too innocent.
"You ok?" it came out in a breathy whisper, and Naruto quickly coughed to get his voice back to normal.
"It hurts" Sasuke mumbled and winced as Naruto's hand flew to his side and pulled at his shirt to reveal pale skin. The stitches held, but they were a bit red again.
"Come on" Naruto gently prodded him to sit on the toilet and pulled his shirt up again. Sasuke followed quietly, scanning the area quickly for signs of anything abnormal or anything that might give him a clue as to what the blonde was doing previously.
Nothing… except a very mild and jumpy Naruto.
He watched the hulking body bend over underneath the sink and fish out a tube of salve, proceeded by some painkillers.
"You forgot to take those with you today… no wonder it hurts." He was so close to Sasuke's side that his breath shimmied on his skin. Just that alone gave him goosebumps which in turn sent yet another spike of pain to his side.
"calm down ok?" Naruto looked up at him, to check if he was fine.
"I can do this myself." Sasuke protested, only to be stopped by a death-glare.
"the hell you will," Naruto mumbled. "You're not twisting yourself into a pretzel just to get that shit on and cause more damage."
"Its up front Naruto, I can easily apply it."
"Nonetheless, Sakura will have my skin if you get more injuries than you came home with. So stay still kit!"
Sasuke sat as still as a board after that, showing Naruto the distaste for the nickname without saying anything at all. Naruto smiled gently at the stubbornness and proceeded to apply the clear gel.
Sasuke twitched a bit, as the cold paste was gently applied by cool fingers, but Naruto took great measure to do it slowly and his touch was feather light.
"There…" he finished when he placed a bandage on his handiwork. "Should be ok… don't shower tonight ok? I'd rather not irritate it more."
"Its really up to you isn't it?" Sasuke said. He didn't mean to sound crabby, just that he couldn't shower without his help, which Naruto knew and understood. He nodded. "Now take these." He plopped two small white pills into Sasuke's hand and was about to straighten up to get him a cup of water when Sasuke dropped one. They both bent to pick it up, Sasuke stopping halfway because of his side and Naruto coming up quickly with the retrieved pill.
They found themselves nose to nose, much too close for comfort when both were on full alert and couldn't get around to either pretending nothing happened or ignoring it.
But not one of them moved. Naruto breathed heavily as his eyes flicked to Sasuke' slips, he licked his own and breathed in, steeling himself against temptation. Sasuke was much the same way, looking at Naruto wetting his lips with a tip of a pink tongue gave him the want to cross that inch and catch that fleeing creature and pull more of it out to nibble on. He was instantly ashamed, realizing that instead of being grateful he was being horny. He looked away first, trying to hide the small blush.
Naruto didn't miss is, and pressed the small pill he still had in his hand into Sasuke's lips. The startled raven opened his mouth just a fracture and Naruto used the pad of his thumb to press in. he pulled back, gently grazing his lower lip with his retreating thumb, and getting up quickly to cover the shame of coming onto someone whom he was trying to help.
"Ill be back with something to wash this down with." He rasped out, his voice a bit husky, and not bothering to change it, he bolted for the door and into the kitchen, coming back a moment later with a glass of juice.
Sasuke took it without meeting his eyes, and mumbled a small "thank you." Naruto nodded and walked out.
The ring on the door came unexpectedly…
xXx
Naruto was really surprised as to whom it might be. He didn't call Sakura, and hoped she didn't decide to again check up on him and Sasuke. His experiences in the toilet, both before and after Sasuke had been in there, left him in no state to listen to her yammering and complaining. Honestly, all he wanted to do was crawl into a hole and hibernate… but since that was beyond him capacities, he'd settle for crawling into bed and falling blessedly into a dreamless sleep.
As he walked towards the hated door he reviewed the evening. Everything was fine and dandy until he decided to barricade himself in the bathroom and well… there was no other way to look at it…
After he blocked the space between floor and door he let himself sit down and fantasize about Sasuke… about Sasuke kissing him, touching him.. riding him… being ridden and then… and then the obvious happened, with Naruto biting on the inside of his cheek to keep from screaming during one of the most intense orgasms he had in a loooong time… for shame.
He could still taste the blood, and then; to add insult to injury, he had shamelessly felt the man up, much to his obvious displeasure. Because Naruto had seen him shake and twitch. And then… he had touched his lips…
He got himself out of there before he could come again…
So he was quite pissed off when he rammed the door open, hip cocked and ready to send whomever was standing at his doorstep back under the fucking rock they crawled under form.
His brown shot up when he saw who it was. "S…Sai."
The brunette was standing there, looking calm and composed as always, fake smile plastered sternly in place. "How are you Naruto?"
"Well… busy actually…" he bent back to check on the bathroom, the door of which was slightly ajar. He could see Sasuke still sitting there, probably waiting for the pill to take effect.
"Something you need?" he asked, in an overly cheery voice, smiling.
"Just wanted to talk… hang out…I though we could…" Sai's voice died off when Sasuke stepped into the hall and came around Naruto, still shirtless, still looking highly edible, and holding the empty juice cup.
Naruto knew exactly what the man wanted…. Behind that proper, smiling face was a wild beast… a wild horny beast that needed to be let out and worked up once in a while… Naruto made the mistake of doing just that not too long ago… and now, here the beast was… practically begging to be let out again.
Naruto was happy to realize that any remaint of a hard on happily shriveled up at the mere thought of touching Sai again…
"Should I make myself scarce?" Sasuke asked him, completely ignoring Sai, whose eyes flickered once to Sasuke and back to Naruto.
"Give us a minute will you?" Naruto looked apologetic. "This wont take long."
Sasuke nodded and retreated quietly into the bedroom. Sai watched him go.
"Should I even ask?" he questioned pleasantly.
"No." Naruto's answer came out harsher than he intended it to. "…I mean… he's a…a friend."
"With stitch marks on his side?" Sai looked dissatisfied. "Naruto… who is he?"
Naruto sighed in exasperation… This was like a bad romance movie, overloaded with cheesy clichés and stupid lines… one of which he used now… "Sai, what we had, it was a one time thing ok? It probably wont ever happen again and… shit, I don't know how to be good at stuff like this." The blonde ran his hand through his hair. "Forget this ever happened." He gestured between the two of them.
Sai smield warmly and nodded. "You take a runt off the streets, dress him, feed him, and you throw away everything else?"
That was fast in coming. Naruto was quick to react, slamming Sai into the wall buy the door. "How do you know and what the fuck do you care where he came from?" he hissed
"I'm your friend, Naruto… even if you don't want to believe it, that kid will be trouble. You cant pick up trash and expect to fix it like its new."
"One more word Sai… one more word and you'll be leaving this building on a stretcher."
"You think no one notices? Naruto, they all do… within one day he got everything from you… and you think people wont see that and think its strange that you did? You want to throw your reputation out for that… what can he possibly offer you in return that might replace what you might lose… your career is at stake here…"
Naruto cut him off with a fist to the mouth. Sai sprawled on the floor, hittng the ground hard with a grunt. He glared up at the blonde with a smiling expression.
"And you princess… you got nothing and hate it don't you…?"
"I don't know what you mean…"
"You wanted to come in here and hoped to get fucked into oblivion again didn't you… liked the way it felt, I daresay? Because that's what it sounded when you were wailing my name… for the first and last time… and least in my presence." Naruto looked down at him as Sai got up. Something flashed in those eyes, something akin to hate.
He used the forbidden card, he knew it… but everything Sai said was true.. so much that he wanted to retaliate with something to shut the prick up with.
It worked, Sai got up quickly and left without a word and Naruto slammed the door hard for good measure.
He sighed in relief by the door. He hoped Sasuke hadn't heard that… he turned around, wanting to just make it to his sheets, and was met with a pair of furious black eyes.
AN: OKAY…. That's a wee longer than usual… truthfully I feel like shit for not updating more… hope this evens out the odds? ^.^'
