Those child eyes, raven hair, they were so close. His hand reached slowly out to touch the face, perfect like the moon…

Naruto's eyes clicked open with a hand out stretched to the motivation poster he had taped on to the ceiling. He had dreamed it again.

He ran a hair through his hair. This dream was constant, and this had been the fourth time in the past week alone. Naruto got up and found a pencil from underneath a book about plants. Carefully, he slipped out a piece of paper from a teetering stack of instant ramen packages. He sat at the kitchen table and, with some sort of divine guide motivating and moving him, drew.

Drawing a few lines for the face and eyes, erasing a few lines from the nose, a recognizable image came: The boy that haunted his nighttime rompings in his mind. Naruto persisted with his creation until it was done. The subject being done, he sat there and subconsciously felt there was something amiss. To his surprise, while he was thinking what was wrong, he picked up the pencil and in the background carved out a setting. A pier and the lake emerged from the whiteness and he realized who he had been dreaming about.

The phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hey," the deep sexy voice of Itachi said. Naruto grinned sleepily.

"Hey! It's been a while. What are you doing? It's pretty late at night for you to be calling me."

"Yeah, I know, babe. It's late here too, but they have us working late for these meetings and this was the only free time I had to talk to you. I'm sorry for waking you up."

"It's fine. How's the weather there?"

"Snowy, but not like the Land of Leaves."

"Heh. You never can get away from it, can you?"

"Nope. So, how's Sasuke doing?"

"He's alright. I actually saw him yesterday."

"Hm. Has he been acting weird?"

"No! Well, I mean at first he tried to kick me out when I visited but then it was like old times. It was nice. "

"Really now?" there was slight astonishment sprinkled in Itachi's voice.

"Yeah." How long had it been since he and Sasuke had hung out so casually and easily? It was before he and Itachi had started dating. His behavior seemed to radically change since then. Naruto could only wonder what had changed.

There were voices on the other end.

"-his is where you wen-"

"Shit, they found me. I gotta go. I love you." The tone replaced his voice. Someone must have caught him.

Naruto couldn't help yawn. It was dark out but he had no idea what time it was. From the outside the moon shone brightly soft. He wondered if his boyfriend was looking at the same celestial object. He smiled at the possibility.

He looked at his drawing again. Now, coming at it with freshened eyes, he saw memories, lovely ones, but just memories. It meant nothing, he was happy where he was at the moment.

Naruto went back to bed and soon fell asleep. This time, he dreamt of nothing.

Sasuke groaned quietly into the night, thinking of Naruto. Such thoughts were not too forbidden for the night. He moaned a little louder with the pressure. Naruto was doing this to him, drove him to insanity with his loveliness. He longed for his touch, and no one else's. As a matter of fact, he was saving himself for Naruto, because he knew, or perhaps hoped, that one day he and Naruto would give each other's virginity to each other.

"Naruto…" he sighed stickily. He thought of delicious naughty things, making him need more. Soon enough the moment had passed. As he cleaned up, he thought of how lonely he was, how crazed another's touch. He wanted Naruto. Every moment had become agony. He needed Naruto. How dare Itachi take away something he needed, it was like him taking away his oxygen. They had already promised at the docks. He was taken. Sasuke could not help but shake from all the emotions attacking him. He couldn't sleep anymore, he needed Naruto.

Some days later.

Gray skies had taken permanent residence in the village, and had not let even a speck of blue come through. The clouds occasionally dumped white on the rooftops. Steam puffed out of virtually every chimney pipe, a picturesque scene.

Naruto was at Sasuke's house and they were both laughing.

"So, so!" gasped Sasuke, "He kept going on and on about how Chakra, and I am just standing there wondering what the hell this guy is thinking!"

"Did he think you were some fucking school kid, or something?" laughed Naruto.

"Well, it turns out he thought I wasn't a ninja. When I told him that I was a Jounin he was looking all dumb, like this." He slacked his jaw and his eyes looked in mocked surprise. "I then told him what the hell you think this headband on my forehead was?"

They erupted in laughter again, clutching their aching bellies. Sasuke watched Naruto laughing, and was content with the moment. Yet he couldn't help but look at him in that loving way. Naruto caught him and trailed his laughter.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" naruto asked while wiping the beads of his tears.

"Like what?" Naruto shrugged. "It's a weird look. I can't explain it, but it's something like longing."

Sasuke went a little rigid for a second then looked back at Naruto. His hair wasn't in its perky spikes and his eyes looked at his, electric crystal.

"You're doing it again, Sasuke…" Without thinking or control, Sasuke took Naruto's hand in his. "What the fu-"

"Naruto. I love you." There it was. So sudden and unplanned these words were given out, the words that Sasuke had kept so close to his heart. He felt the quick cold feeling of embarrassment but pressed on neithertheless. "I always have."

Stunned, Naruto didn't respond at first. When Sasuke started to pull Naruto closer, however, he resisted.

"I'm sorry, Sasuke…If you had asked before…But now…It's too late….I'm with Itachi…"

Sasuke snapped.

"Why? Why the fuck are you with him and not me? He has NEVER looked after you like I have! I deserve you! I've waited and ached for years for you since we first met!"

Fearful at this sudden outpouring of truth and passion, Naruto tried pulling his hand back to himself. "Please, Sasuke…"

"No! You fucking listen to me!" His grip tightened. "You said we'd be together! You promised yourself to me!"

"That was a joke!" Naruto said with disbelief.

"No. You promised yourself to me. YOU ARE MINE!" He pulled Naruto to him, held on tightly, kissed his skin and licked the back of his ear. Naruto struggled, thinking only of getting away from Sasuke, what Itachi would think…

"Get the fuck off me!" He screamed.

"Shut up and fucking enjoy it," and with that Sasuke felt down Naruto's body. "You've already lost it, I bet." He touched Naruto's ass.

"No! I'm still a fucking virgin. Don't you dare touch there!" He couldn't get him off, it was like he was welded onto him. He couldn't understand why he suddenly he couldn't get this one man off of him, and why he could not get away. If he was unsuccessful, Itachi would be so disappointed, would hate him and blame him for letting himself fall into the hands of Sasuke.

For a second, Sasuke stopped and a large evil grin grew on his face. He would make Naruto spoiled goods, do Itachi, disgusted, would throw this beauty into the trash and be done with him. He whispered hotly in Naruto's ear, "Where do you want to be touched? I'll make you all warm and ready."

Tears grew out of Naruto. "I DON'T WANT YOU! I WANT ITACHI!" Sasuke once again hesitated, but the smile was gone. It had flitted to perhaps another face or hearts, and different emotions landed on his chest, familiar hot flame and heaviness: Anger, Despair, and Want. He slammed Naruto against the wall and ripped off his garments with force and speed. Naruto was not able to stop it at all, only feebly scream for help and screech no. He stopped when Sasuke shoved himself into the unwilling blonde.

Sasuke felt pure ecstasy and enlightment from his body and mind, grunting and groaning loudly. He rocked the other's body and pressed him deeper against the walling, pinning him more.

Naruto could only whimper and involuntarily moan. He couldn't deny it felt good to some degree - and it was very awkward too, since both were inexperienced - but he knew he was ruined in his innocence.

Soon enough, both were done. Sasuke left his dirty mark inside of Naruto, feeling satisfied, let go of Naruto. Naruto, broken on the inside, slid against the wall to the ground. The raven hair lay beside the blonde's limp body and curled up with him.

"You're mine now. No one else should have you," he whispered tenderly into his ear. If it was in a different circumstance, this would have been sweet and endearing. "I love you," he mumbled tiredly.

Naruto, crying, looked at Sasuke with hurt, angry eyes and hissed between his teeth, "Go to hell."
