Falling Hard
Chapter 7: Disaster
Naruto closed his eyes welcoming the steaming water against his skin, they'd gotten his small bag with his clothes from the car and walked past a couple of Sasuke's cousins already passed out on their way to the second floor 'told you' Sasuke had said smugly making him chuckle.
He turned around startled when the door to the shower slid open "I'm sorry there's something called privacy" He muttered without any bite because the way Sasuke was already looking at him turned his legs to jelly.
Sasuke walked over to him his hands falling gingerly on his waist the stream of water hitting him turning him into a wet adonis.
"It's really not fair you know" he muttered
"What?" Sasuke asked
"You" was his simple answer because the way Sasuke looked wasn't fair, the way he smelled, the way he was, everything.
The raven nudged him out of the stream and against the shower tile "You can't smell like that baby boy, you're doing things to me"
"You're the one that asked me to shower" he let out softly as Sasuke gripped his jaw lifting his face so they could lock eyes "I want you" his thumb ran over his lips. He sucked the digit into his mouth and swirled his tongue watching Sasuke's eyes grow darker as his other hand slithered from his waist to his ass kneading at the skin, and slowly almost tortorously he slid his fingers in and nudging at his entrance smearing the slick that had gathered there and easily making their way in.
Sasuke enjoyed the way Naruto looked as his thumb nudged his mouth open holding his tongue down, flushed face and want in his eyes, in the air—his smell growing more citrucy the more he teased him— fuck, his baby boy was a damn piece of art. He slipped a third finger in as he released his hold on the blonde's jaw so he could get them both off as he fingered the blonde.
"Sasuke" Naruto muttered as he felt his legs almost give under him with the raven relentlessly attacking that little spot inside of him that made him see sparks behind his eyes.
"Look at me princess" Sasuke muttered as he sped his movements, Naruto's head hit the back of the tiles and deep blue eyes met Sasuke's "Who's making you feel good baby?"
"Yo–Ah–you, Sas–"
"How good?" Sasuke asked eating up the sight of the blonde, that smell.
"So–fuck–" the blonde's hips faltered as he tried pushing back against the raven's digits " So good but I—uh–inside "
And that did it for the raven, Naruto followed right behind him, ridiculous amounts of cum hitting their bellies. The blonde leaned over and latched on to the gland on his neck teething at it and licking as they rode their orgasm.
Little gasps filled the steam-filled shower only for a few seconds before Sasuke helped the still half-dazed omega rinse, toweling him dry and dragging him to the bedroom, nudging him towards the bed, and quickly reaching into his bag and grabbing a condom.
" Yes," Naruto keened, for the first time ever thanking alpha hormones for the sometimes nonexistent refractory period. Sasuke was on top of him and pushing forward in no time and he felt like he was fucking home.
He was goddamn done and ruined for anyone else the way Sasuke fucked him so thoroughly he thought as he gripped the raven's shoulders and swirled his hips so he could meet his thrusts.
"Sas'ke, s'ke, so good" He muttered as he placed kisses all over the raven's neck, licking and sucking, his fingers now digging into dark tresses.
"Do you want to bite baby boy?" Sasuke's voice, rough with pleasure rang by the shell of his ear and he gasped and groaned into the raven's neck almost sobbing.
"Do you want to come inside daddy?" He asked surprised they could keep this stupid banter in the middle of sex.
It had started when Naruto had told Sasuke he wanted to talk about things he wasn't comfortable doing, no sex without condoms, no biting, no commands, and no presenting. If Sasuke wanted him to present the least he could do was properly date him.
But the raven had retaliated by asking for these things in the middle of sex when Naru was lost in all the pleasure and his omega was screaming at him to do everything he told the raven he wouldn't do. The questions spiked his need and made him feel like he'd tip right over at the thought of actually doing them.
The raven would never do any of it, he was just being a fucking tease, but Naruto had figured two could play the same game. He bit into his lip hard enough to draw blood as the felt Sasuke coming and he spilled at the thought that Sasuke all but fell apart thinking about coming bare inside of him.
Sasuke sucked his bloody lip into his mouth and sucked, and he hummed closing his eyes entirely spent. He barely registered when the raven helped wipe him and he somehow managed to slide his t-shirt over his head before he dropped down on the bed.
Sasuke's pheromones reached him, calm, content…happy…as he slid into the bed after him and pulled him over so he could lay on his chest.
"Thanks—for coming with, I know that wasn't easy"
"Mmmm" was the blonde's lazy response as he rubbed his cheek on the raven's shirt. He didn't want to think about any of the topics that had been brought up…about Karin, or being 'just friends' with Sasuke, he just wanted to bask in his afterglow and Sasuke's smell.
Even without smelling him…his presence there throughout the night had helped the raven, and that made him feel all sorts of butterflies.
Naruto poked his head out of the room and made his way down the stairs. He'd gotten up feeling like he'd gone days without drinking water, and there was none in the room. He managed to find his way back to the kitchen.
He downed the first glass and stood by the peninsula as he slowly sipped his second glass. The light switch he'd left off flickered on and he barely managed not to drop the glass as he jumped in place.
"Shit"
"Sorry, did I scare you?" Naruto's reply got caught on his lips as his eyes fell on Itachi, he was wearing well-fitted grey sweats and a black t-shirt which did nothing to hide the raven's physique. Earlier everyone was in the same room and all Naruto's omega could throw at him was 'alphas' and a mix of smells.
But now the smell that reached him was that of pines and fresh snow.
"Yeah–you've ruined my incognito mission I was never supposed to be here" he finally let out jokingly shaking himself out of his thoughts as the older raven went about getting a glass of water for himself.
Itachi laughed softly, settling at the opposite end of the peninsula from where he was, leaning his elbows on the table and fiddling with his cup.
"I was hoping I'd get a word with you throughout the evening but Sasuke wouldn't even introduce us properly" He set the cup on the table and reached out "Itachi Uchiha, Sasuke's older brother"
Naruto reached out and shook the raven's hand "Naruto"
"So Sasuke's friend?" He asked with a small smile. Naruto felt the heat rise to his face as he realized he'd showered and they'd fucked. Itachi could probably smell his brother on him…so much for his level head.
"Umm," What was he supposed to say?
"Sorry I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable" Itachi's eyes fell on the cut on his bottom lip for a second before they drifted back to his face.
"Are you two dating?"
What was this? Twenty questions?
"Why don't you say anything?" he asked instead a little irritated, he didn't want to think about what the relationship was between Sasuke and him "When your dad attacks him like that?"
"I tried–in the past, I always somehow made things worse" Itachi's eyes fell to the glass and Naruto felt sadness reach him for a second, "He thinks it's tough love, but I know it doesn't go unnoticed by anyone that he obviously has a favorite"
"No shit," Naruto said with a roll of his eyes "What do you think that does to Sasuke though, especially if your dad has always treats him like that" the blonde muttered without thinking…that's why Sasuke always felt like he couldn't measure up…Itachi offered him a small grimace in exchange.
"He says he doesn't care what dad thinks but he also completely ignores what mom and I have to say—moron"
"Which is?"
"That he's smart and driven, and every bit as talented as I am, his issue is that he can't stop comparing and just own who he is—but let me try and say that to him without getting my head bit off" Itachi rolled his eyes and Naruto laughed softly his tension and irritation fading as he caught honesty from the raven.
Itachi looked at the clock, it was a little past four in the morning, and he moved about the kitchen pulling a container out of the fridge "You want hot chocolate?" he asked and chuckled as the blonde's smell hit him before his answer did.
"I'll take that as a yes," he said with a smile.
"Hot chocolate is a bit of a weakness" Naruto muttered as he moved by the stove "Can I help?"
"Its ok chocolate was already made, I'm just warming it up, want whipped cream?" The blonde nodded, "It's by the door on the fridge"
He grabbed the whip and turned to see Itachi come out of what looked to be the pantry with a clear container full of mini marshmallows.
Itachi smirked at him "Stop!" He said putting the whipped cream on the counter and covering his face, he wasn't used to people reading him like that, since he usually had blockers on.
The raven poured the chocolate and soon enough they were sitting on the peninsula sprinkling marshmallows and topping the cups with whipped cream.
"You're really not that bad" He muttered as he happily sipped from his hot cocoa.
"So hot chocolate is all it took for your defenses to crumble—"
"Ok I said you weren't that bad, don't get ahead of yourself," he said as he stuck his tongue out.
Itachi pushed the whole container of marshmallows toward him and he burst out laughing "You can't buy me with marshmallows"
Then he pushed the can of whipped cream over "You think you're funny huh?" He said with a playful smirk.
He really was Sasuke's bother, damn if Itachi wasn't ridiculously charismatic.
"Naru?" The blonde turned to the side in order to see Sasuke walk into the kitchen and stop dead in his tracks as he saw Itachi sitting across from him.
"I—" woke up and you weren't there "How long have you been up?"
"Not really up, I wandered down looking for water but couldn't turn down hot chocolate—"
"And whipped cream" Sasuke couldn't help but smile a bit as he looked at the blonde.
"Want some?" Itachi asked.
"No thanks," Sasuke replied grabbing a glass of water, before pulling another stool out and sitting next to the blonde while yawning.
Naruto knew Sasuke must have come down looking for him so he rushed to finish the cocoa "Thanks Itachi, but I'm not really a morning person and I'm about ready to melt back into bed"
"Sure get some rest," The older raven said "Leave the cup there I'll wash it" he added when he saw the blonde eyeing the sink.
"You–"
"I'm sure" he added before Naru could finish the sentence "Reading my mind now?" he said as he put the cup back down on the peninsula.
"I'll head back up with you," Sasuke said as he stood and followed behind the blonde, they'd barely gone through the door and Sasuke's arms were sliding through his waist and pulling him against him, burying his face in his nape.
"You should have woken me up"
He turned on the raven's arms "I'm perfectly capable of grabbing water by myself and your brother was nothing but pleasant"
"Of course, it's Itachi"
Naruto punched the raven's shoulder lightly "Hey! You know what I mean" he leaned up to kiss him "You know, your brother cares for you, you shouldn't let your dad come between you two" Naruto had a feeling they'd make a fearsome team those two.
"I know, it's not—when it's just us we do fine"
"Super obvious by that exchange downstairs"
"Stop giving me attitude and come to bed princess" the raven smirked a little "Give me some of that hot cocoa" His baby boy blushed just as expected as he led him back to bed.
"Are we having Happy New Year sex?" The raven asked as he pulled the blonde back into bed for a second time to stop him from getting up.
"That's not what we did last night?" Naru asked sounding outraged.
"For the third time," The raven added and he giggled.
"Stop! It's gonna get suspicious if we don't head down for breakfast" with what will hopefully be a room full of hungover people too tired to ask too many questions he thought to himself.
They had no such luck, Uchiha's were a different breed and all of Sasuke's cousins and uncles looked refreshed and well-dressed. Thankfully Sasuke's dad had opted to just ignore him. which was still shitty but it kept everyone else from slipping into awkward silence every fifteen minutes.
Naruto thought they were about to make it out without any incidents until Itachi caught up to them as they headed for the door.
"Can I have your number?"
There was a moment of stunned silence as his eyes widened.
"Oh Ummm" he looked to the side to see every head in the living room looking their way, Shisui even whistled. He turned back to Sasuke looking at him waiting for him to say something.
To claim him.
But the raven only stiffened and remained quiet, his pheromones locked down and guarded.
Itachi turned over to Sasuke "You two are just friends, right?" he asked.
"Yeah," Sasuke said quietly "We're just friends" and Naruto felt like his ears were ringing, it was like the air had gotten knocked out of him.
He had to work so hard not to let the emotion show on his face as he extended his hand to ask for Itachi's phone "Yeah, if it's not weird for Sasuke I guess I could give you my number" he said as he plastered a fake smile on his face and input his number on Itachi's phone.
"Thank you, I'm honored" What exactly was Itachi playing at? He'd smelled him the night prior, he knew exactly what his relationship was with his brother. And what else had he possibly been expecting from Sasuke?
He offered Itachi s a small smile as he nodded his head and more cat calls and whoops reached their ears from the living area "Aunty Mikoto, you're missing it Itachi's spitting game"
"Uncle Fugaku will lose it when he hears Itachi asked a beta for his number" Obito added.
"We should really get going," Sasuke said as he reached over and grabbed Naruto's hand, his own hand slightly shaking as he nudged him towards the exit.
Most of the ride back was quiet, the tension growing and spiraling in the car.
Eventually, Naruto couldn't bear the pressure and broke the silence as they got closer to his apartment "Sasuke..."
" Why? Why did you give him your number?"
"Don't raise your voice, why should you be the one upset, I'm the one that had our 'friends' status shoved right down my throat in front of your whole family" he turned over to the raven "You could have said we were getting to know each other or something!"
"Why didn't you say it? Did you want his number, middle of the night chat and all?" Naruto felt like he could fucking punch the raven.
"Why would I have to say it huh Sasuke? Didn't I ask if you wanted to date me and you said no?"
Whatever the raven was about to reply died on his lips, he felt the anger filter through his body, that was Naru's number, why should Itachi of all fucking people have his baby boy's number.
"Four months," the raven said quietly as Naruto sat next to him seething, he turned to look at a flustered Sasuke as they pulled up to his apartment complex "That's how long it took me to get your number"
"But why did it take four months Sasuke?" He asked before he let out a frustrated breath and opened the door "And all of it so I'd end up compromising to your terms" he finished as he closed the door and walked up the steps.
"But of course, he only had to ask once" Sasuke muttered into an empty car as he let his forehead fall on the wheel taking a couple of deep breaths, he hadn't felt like crying in such a long time.
As he was driving home the text message popped on his screen.
23 and those are the ones I saw.
"Fuck" Sasuke muttered as he dropped the phone back on the cup holder feeling like he wanted to fucking crawl out of his skin.
Fighting with Naru made him feel like he was swallowing sand.
Naruto wiped away angry hot tears as he slammed the door to his apartment closed and walked over to his room.
Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
Such a dumb thickheaded alpha.
He dropped on his bed sobbing, throwing his arm over his eyes, his omega whining go back.
No.
Go back. We need him.
Like hell.
Sasuke needed to apologize, it's not like he didn't fucking know why it would hurt Sasuke that Itachi of all people asked for his number. But if Itachi asking for his number wasn't enough to drive Sasuke to claim him then what the fuck would?
He wiped more tears away, the anxiety slithering through him was relentless.
Claim him...
Why the hell did he keep using that word? He didn't want to be claimed…he didn't want to be owned, he wasn't something to be owned he was more —and still, for the first time ever…he got butterflies thinking about a bond mark—about belonging to someone.
To Sasuke
He groaned and smothered his face with a pillow.
Guess he could have said he was already dating someone…maybe part of him had given Itachi his number to test the raven, and now they were both upset.
Feelings and desire and need and mates….alphas, betas, omegas.
It was all a fucking circus.
*hides*
Eeeeeep I'm sooooorrrryyyyy ? I did that, I really did...
I promise to update as soon as possible, I don't intend to leave you on this note for too long! But just a reminder that my vacations have come to an end and I'm officially back to work as of yesterday so I might not be able to write chapters as chunky as the previous two before this one. I so want to find the sequence of events that will make you continue to love this story. I'll keep working hard to reward all your support darlings ?
As always I cannot wait to read the feedback even if it's a lot of hollering at a certain raven ? (I hollered at my poor computer and I wrote it...)
Until the next one,
Chio~
