I asked you guys about the M-rating... Was I surprised about the answer? No. (Let's be honest, that's probably what most of us are searching for on this site xD) It won't be in this chapter though, and I t will fit in nicely with the rest of the story. I felt I had to ask to make sure I didn't ruin someone's experience with the story, because it has been more of a cute/light story so far rather than a sexy/dark one.

I want to thank everyone who gave me feedback, reading your reviews gives me inspiration :)

Enjoy!

"I can't promise that I wouldn't want… more."

Those words short circuited Sasuke's brain.

There's no way… After everything, he still… I'm the luckiest fucking bastard on earth!

His whole body hummed with happiness. He took a hold of Naruto's hand and pulled him closer. Not only had he been missed and welcomed back, miraculously his feelings were still returned as well. There was nothing holding him back anymore. Naruto would always be younger than him, but he was an adult now in every sense of the word. He placed his other hand on Naruto's neck and took a step closer, so that they were standing chest to chest.

"Sasuke if this is some sick kinda joke, I swear to god-" Naruto hissed looking panicked.

He leaned in and pecked Naruto on the lips softly.

"It's not." He had to go in for another quick kiss. Naruto's lips were just so soft and alluring, he couldn't help himself. "I promise." He almost laughed when he saw how wide eyed the boy had gone.

"Close your eyes." He whispered and pressed his lips against Naruto's again, this time a little harder. The blonde let out a whimper and melted in his arms. He felt one of Naruto's hands travel up his chest while the other gripped his own tightly. Their fingers intertwined and a thrilling rush went through Sasuke. He let his tongue rung along Naruto's bottom lip and a timid tongue met his own. His fingers ran trough incredibly soft blonde hair and he pulled, to get even closer, to get more.

Sasuke just wanted to devour him-

"Naruto, Temari is here to see you one last time before you leave tonight." Iruka said as he stepped in the door. The two of them tore apart quickly and prayed themselves lucky to see that Iruka's eyes were on a file in his hand, not on them.

The foster home leader shifted his glance to look at them. His eyes went from Naruto to Sasuke and back again. "Are you two good again?" He asked with a small frown between his brows as he took in the sight of them. Didn't they look a little flushed and disheveled?

"Yes, we're fine thank you." Sasuke said and grabbed for Naruto's hand to give it a reassuring squeeze.

"Naruto she's waiting for you in the entry hall."

Sasuke sent Naruto a questioning look.

"She's one of the social workers keeping track of me. She's nice enough." Naruto said then leaned in and added in a whisper; "We should probably not tell Iruka about this. He'll hunt you down and kill you."

Oh goodie, another protective "Big brother" to put on my list, as if one isn't enough. Sasuke nodded in agreement.

From there on everything seemed to happen in a blur. Naruto spoke with Temari for a few minutes and then hurried upstairs to pack. Sasuke wanted to follow, but was stopped by her. She had apparently just been informed about Naruto's sudden change of plans concerning his living arrangements, and was interrogating Sasuke about the details. Sasuke was thrilled to hear about Naruto's decision, and his head was in the clouds when answering her questions. He could not have recalled a single questions afterwards, even if his life had depended on it.

Sasuke was not a patient man. The fact that he had been missing Naruto in his life for two years, made it difficult for him to not just scoop the blonde up in his arms, and drive away with him, now that everything had been settled. He wanted to kiss the younger man again, preferably now. Pull him close and feel the other's heat and quick heartbeat against his body.

He could see the same impatience reflected in blue eyes, but Naruto had things to do before leaving. He had to talk with Temari again, talk with Iruka, run up the stairs to pack one last thing and most of all, he had to say goodbye. Sasuke saw the blue eyes fill with tears as a Konohamaru and a bunch of other kids hugged him. He went up to Naruto's room to give him a private moment to say goodbye.

There were two beds in the room and all of Naruto's belongings were once again stuffed in a couple of black plastic bags. It brought back painful memories, and Sasuke marveled at how Naruto had it in him to forgive everything. Sasuke had abandoned him without as much as a proper goodbye, but Naruto had deemed it safe to trust him again and come back and live with him. How was it possible?

It pained him to have been apart for so long, to not know how Naruto had lived these past two years, except for the occasional update from Iruka. The urge to be at his side became too overwhelming to bear, and Sasuke lifted the bags and hurried down the stairs.

More kids had gathered around Naruto and many of them looked sad or were crying. Tears went down the scarred cheeks as well. Sasuke wanted to comfort him, but knew at the same time that Naruto hurt because he had to leave. With didn't want Naruto to hurt anymore, but it also made him happy to see how loved the young man was. He might have left him alone at the foster home two years ago, but it was obvious that Naruto had made a lot of friends since then.

Naruto caught his eye and smiled through the tears. "I'll miss you guys too, but, hey, I'll come back and visit all the time, okay?" he said to them. "I promise."

Sasuke went to stand by his side and put a comforting hand on his back. The very last goodbyes were said and Sasuke expressed his gratitude to Iruka. It meant the world to him that he had been able to leave Naruto in a safe place with people who cared. Not only that; Naruto was no longer a runaway kid avoiding the authorities, which relieved him immensely.

The other teens and kids insisted on helping with the luggage and followed them all the way back to the car. Naruto sniffled when the other kids left and Sasuke brought him into a close hug. The sniffles turned to straight out sobs and Naruto clung to him for dear life. Sasuke held him tightly and pressed his lips to the unruly blond hair. The sobs died down quickly and were replaced by small hiccupping laughs. Black bewildered eyes stares at Naruto.

What the…?

Blue still teary eyes looked at him filled with happiness and a smile shone brightly to match. Naruto pulled him in for a bruising kiss. Surprised, but pleased Sasuke responded eagerly and felt Naruto's smile on his lips.

"I've got you now." Naruto whispered in between kisses.

"Mmm" Sasuke didn't even bother to pull away from the kiss to respond, but simply hummed in confirmation.

"Don't you dare leave again. Ever."

Sasuke grabbed hold of Naruto's jaw and tilted his face to gain more access. He believed his actions spoke louder than any words could at the moment. Never had he wanted someone so badly-

"Sasuke."

Apparently Naruto did not agree with this and tugged at his hair hard enough to break them apart.

"I won't leave you." He said and kissed the tanned jaw. He littered small kisses all the way up to his ear and said in a low rumble; "I don't think I could, even if I tried."

Naruto let out a shaky breath at feeling the warm breath on his skin. "You better not, or I'll tell on you to Iruka and Temari and-"

Sasuke shut him up with another kiss.

Both of them were emotionally exhausted, Naruto even more so since his whole life had suddenly been turned upside down. They held hands the entire way back in the car, and though exhausted, Sasuke felt lighter than he ever had before. An almost childish excitement filled him to the brim, and bubbled over in sparks of happiness. He had to school his features to keep a deranged smile from his face.

They entered the apartment in silence and Naruto let go of the bags in the exact same spot he had left them so long ago, when he had been there the first time. He proceeded to explore the place and ended back in the living room looking thoughtful.

"There's no room for my stuff in your room, so I guess it'll have to go in my old room." He made a displeased noise at this.

"What do you mean? The guestroom will be yours again, why would you need more space?" Sasuke asked a little confused. Naruto gave him a long stare and made another noise. It looked like Naruto was about to say something, but then his cheeks turned pink and he paused, seemingly rethinking his words.

"Sasuke, you are an idiot." He murmured and pulled his bags into the guestroom.

What did I do? Why would he want his things in my room? There's no reason to change from how it used to be- Oh. Oh, wait. No, did he mean..? Oh.

Sasuke felt his cheeks heat up as he realized what exactly it was that Naruto wanted. He wanted to share a room. And a room was probably not the only thing he'd want to share. Sasuke felt like an idiot for not thinking about it before. Kissing was one thing, but his brain had conveniently forgotten what came as the next step. Now it was not only his cheeks that got a little hot, his whole body heated up, and he was pretty sure he looked like a boiled lobster.

Fuck, this is embarrassing. I'm twenty-nine for god's sake; I know what a relationship entails. And I-I want to… to do more with him, it's just so…

Sasuke, who had never been in love before, was assaulted by all the feelings it brought with it. Want. Uncertainty. Embarrassment. Happiness. Excitement. It was a big mix of emotions he wasn't used to dealing with. He fidgeted for a moment more, but Want won over the others as Naruto stepped back into the living room. He didn't need the blonde to be uncertain of their new relationship or mad at him for not sharing a room.

Naruto saw the way he was looking at him and stared back looking like a deer caught in the headlights. "Sasuke?"

The blue eyes widened as he was pulled into yet another kiss. So warm and soft, but firm at the same time. Sasuke explored the wet heat to the fullest to see what made Naruto squirm and gasp. He could hear Naruto suck in a breath, when he kissed his neck.

It was just right.

/-/

That first day of their reunion was spent exploring the art of kissing. They ordered take out for dinner, because neither of them could be bothered to be apart for long enough to cook. When they went to bed Naruto snuck into Sasuke's bed, and after a moment of hesitation, Sasuke pulled him close. They could not resist kissing again, but both of them were drained of energy and soon drifted off to sleep.

/-/

Sasuke felt pleasantly warm and relaxed when he woke up the next morning. The knowledge that Naruto was there with him gave him a sense of fulfillment. He just lay there and felt the early rays of the sun touch his skin before he bothered to open his eyes. His arm reached out for Naruto, but found nothing. It took a while for his brain to process that he was the only one in the bed.

He heard a clattering noise from the kitchen. A quick glance at his alarm told him, it was half past seven. It was unusual for Naruto to be up and about before him. He lazily turned over on his stomach and inhaled the scent of the younger male on his sheets.

I should get up and get ready for work. But I just got Naruto back… I don't have any meetings this morning, and I have worked so much these past two years… no one would say anything if I showed up a little later, would they? Just an hour or two.

Sasuke enjoyed his little fantasy of staying in bed with Naruto instead of getting up, for a few minutes.

Screw it. I can take the whole day off.

Very pleased with his decision he crawled out of bed to find Naruto. He felt playful and wanted to sneak up on Naruto in the kitchen, but he was not a very good ninja and was noticed the moment he stepped into the room.

"Mworning Sfaske." Naruto mumbled with a whole piece of toast in his mouth, a cup in one hand and a plate in the other.

"Morning." Sasuke gave him a once over. "Up and dressed so early, what's the occasion?" he asked wonderingly.

Naruto swallowed his bite of toast and put the rest back on the plate. "Uh, normal weekday. I'm going to school."

Sasuke's brilliant mood deflated a little as his plan went down the drain. "I thought you didn't want to go anymore?"

"I'll keep going until I find a job, at least." The blue eyes looked at the clock on the wall. "I've gotta go now, it's gonna take me a while to walk there." He said and drank the last coffee in his cup.

Sasuke stared bewildered at him while he put his sneakers on.

He's leaving? Just like that?

"Uh, okay I guess. When will you be back?"

"Hmm, around four, I think? No wait Kiba has a match and I promised to go and watch it, so fiveish."

He put his backpack on and Sasuke's sleep muddled brain finally awoke. "Wait I need o give you something, give me a second."

He ran back into his room and found the same spare key that Naruto had once had. He handed it over and squeezed Naruto's hand at the same time. The blue eyes widened a little, and Naruto glanced at him shyly. It was like they had taken a step backwards during the night, now that the urgent need from yesterday had been satisfied. The realization that they really were together, settled in both of them.

Naruto leaned in for a quick peck, nothing like the passionate kisses they had shared the evening before.

"Goodbye kiss." He mumbled and turned to leave.

Oh no, don't think you can get away with just that.

Sasuke grabbed his arm and, turned him around and put his other hand on the door to keep it closed. He moved closer very slowly, eyeing Naruto as if he was his prey. He pressed the younger male against the door with his body and leaned in for a proper kiss. He let his lips linger just short of touching Naruto's and enjoyed the way the blonde stopped breathing for a moment and eyes focused on him in anticipation.

He bit the blonde's bottom lip to tease and then went for the kill. He started out painfully slow, but did not have enough control over himself to keep it that way.

Naruto's cheeks and lips were red and his normally unruly hair was sticking up in all directions when Sasuke finally let him leave. Sasuke himself was in no better condition, the only difference being that he looked smug instead of thoroughly embarrassed.

A nice way to start the day, if I have to say so myself...

Wait a minute. Who is Kiba?

Sasuke ate lunch with his usual group of colleagues since Naruto was at school, and their schedules didn't match up for lunch break. The school was closer to the foster home than his apartment, so Naruto wouldn't have had time anyway. He had been awfully distracted the day before as well, sand Neji was keeping an eye on him.

Today was even worse though. Yesterday he had been a nervous wreck; today he was in the seventh heaven. Thoughts of Naruto kept distracting him from work, and he caught himself wearing a silly smile thrice, just this morning. Neji had asked him if he had solved the problem, since he no longer seemed distressed. Sasuke's answer might have been a bit too chipper, since Neji had sent him a concerned look afterwards.

But while Neji was polite and didn't pry in things that were none of his business, the same could not be said about Ino. Her female intuition immediately told her something was up, when she saw Sasuke staring off in the distance dreamily. She snapped her fingers in front of his face to get his attention. "Back to earth Uchiha."

"What?"

"What has got you off in dreamland?"

"Nothing." Sasuke replied a little too fast.

Ino studied him with narrowed eyes. "No. Noooo. No way!" Her eyes filled with glee and her lips turned into a shit eating grin. "You got laid."

Sasuke froze. Got laid? What was she talking about, he and Naruto hadn't… Of course they were going to at some point… Oh no, oncoming blushing in three, two, one...

"No."

"Don't lie to me with that hickey on your neck." She said and laughed hysterically when Sasuke's hand flew up to the offending body part. When had Naruto given him a hickey? Shit, now everyone at the table stared at him. Kankuro whistled. "Who's the lucky lady?" Ugh, he had always been the crudest in the group. Shikamaru raised an eyebrow, but didn't react otherwise. Shino politely told him "Congratulations" which was almost more embarrassing than being asked about his exploits.

Neji, whom he respected the most in the group, looked at him with an unreadable expression. Sasuke felt like finding a dark place to hide in. He was self confident and didn't care much about what others thought of him, but that was mostly because he knew, he did everything perfectly. There was nothing to be embarrassed about.

Potentially revealing his eleven year younger male, orphan, boyfriend… that was embarrassing. Not because he was embarrassed about Naruto, no he was embarrassed about himself. Expectations were high, when you crawled up the career ladder as far as he had. To let them know that he was head over heels and acting like a lovesick teenage girl, that was the embarrassing part.

He was supposed to be a mature adult, who had full control over both his professional and personal life. He looked at Neji uncomfortably. The other man had to know, that this was the reason for his odd behavior these past few days.

Neji's face twitched. Not just his eye or lip, no it was a full on face twitch. He put up a pale hand to cover his mouth and looked down, trying to hide behind his long hair. But he couldn't hide it.

"Pffft.."

His shoulders were shaking because of the repressed laughter and he banged his fist against the table. Sasuke gaped; he had never seen Neji laugh; barely crack a smile to be honest.

At last the long haired male gave up and laughed so hard that he cried. A lovesick Uchiha. That was fucking priceless.

End of chapter 11

Chapter twelve is on it's way and will be ready for you guys in 4-5 days. It has been through some heavy editing already, since it's my first attempt at writing anything smexy. (As if 4 years of being a yaoi fan didn't prepare me for this...)

To be honest I don't know when to end this story. It was supposed to end shortly after the reunion when I first started writing it, but there are just so many funny scenarios I want to write!

One of them will be be in chapter 13, which is already more than halfway done, yay me!
