Chapter 20: An Endless Kiss

"He kisses me so deeply that I don't know who is breathing for who."

-Melina Marchetta

"What the hell did that guy do?! I thought that was supposed to end the curse, not make a whole new one!" Naruto moved to sit up but fell back with a groan. "Dammit.."

He ran his fingers through his hair, staring at the ceiling. "This wasn't supposed to happen.." he murmured. Sasuke sat down on the edge of the bed next to him.

"Maybe it's just.." Sasuke paused, "a side effect. Like the pain you have right now. It might just.. go away on its own."

Blue eyes slid over to regard him. "I know you don't believe that."

Sasuke propped his elbows on his knees before dropping his chin on folded hands. He leaned forward and thought about it for a while. "I do think it's a side effect" he started, "but.. I don't know that it will go away as quickly as the other one."

Naruto sighed. "We have to tell Granny Tsunade, don't we." It wasn't a question- he already knew the answer. He looked up. "Sasuke, if we go back to the hospital they are going to want to keep me there." He chewed on his lip, and the raven turned back to meet his eyes. "I just can't.."

Sasuke turned his body and slowly leaned forward. Naruto's eyes widened, but he didn't turn away as the raven brought his face close. He stopped, leaving just enough space to speak. "Then, let's not go back.. Not yet."

"So, what do we do..?" Naruto whispered, his lips just barely brushing against Sasuke's.

"Well, for starters.." The Uchiha closed the distance between them, his lips pressing firmly against Naruto's. A spark ran through them, electric and warm, lighting up every nerve ending. Naruto moaned into the kiss at the pleasure, but the feeling didn't fade, and he was starting to worry. He tried to pull away, but couldn't.

Their mouths wouldn't separate.

Cerulean eyes shot open and stared into deep onyx ones- both of them realizing that something was wrong. Naruto made another noise, this one a combination of fear, as reality started to set in, and pleasure as the pulsating feelings continued. Sasuke, not knowing exactly why, thought to deepen the kiss instead of trying to pull away. And it worked. As he moved his mouth aggressively over Naruto's he could feel the pull loosen until they were finally free.

"Wha-what the fuck was that?!" Naruto shrieked.

"I.. I don't know." Sasuke admitted.

"It was like a goddamn finger trap! Why?!!"

"Jesus- Naruto. I don't know! I have as much information as you do."

"It's like.." Naruto looked away, "it's like.. the curse doesn't want us to be apart.."

Sasuke studied him, then reached out and gently lifted his chin so he could meet his eyes. "Then, let's not be."

"But.. we can't even be across the damn house from each other!! And when we kiss.." Naruto's fingers tangled in his hair again as anxiety flickered across his face. "What if it gets worse..?"

"Then I guess next time we'll just have to do more."

"This isn't a joke Sasuke!"

"Who said I was kidding?"

Naruto sighed and struggled to sit up in the bed. Sasuke reached out and helped him. When he was finally situated, he leaned his head back against the wall, eyes closed. "This is just a different curse.." he muttered. He opened his eyes and glared at the ceiling. "I knew we couldn't trust that guy."

"It is very possible that this wasn't done intentionally, Naruto."

He turned his head to lock his eyes onto the irritatingly calm raven perched on the side of the bed. "Ok, then explain it to me Sasuke. How did we end the first curse and wind up with a fucking two-for-one deal instead?"

The Uchiha made a sound that he tried to cover with a cough.

"Are you seriously laughing?" Naruto stared at him incredulously. "You never laugh, and this is what you choose when you finally do?! How is this funny?"

"Well first you have to be able to think about it. And I'm pretty sure you bashed most of your brain cells into the ramen counter at Ichiraku."

Naruto rolled his eyes.

"You really can't see the humor in this?" Sasuke gave him a pointed look. "Naruto- the curse is trying to get you laid."

Naruto's head shot up from the wall, his face bright red. "What are you talking about?!!" he sputtered.

"It won't let me stay away from you, we had to do more to pull apart after that kiss..I mean.. hell, maybe that's the cure."

"Sasuke!! I'm not going to fuck you just to test some damn theory!"

"Well.. there's still other reasons to."

Naruto took a pillow and threw it at him. "Damn perv."

Sasuke shoved the pillow to the side, turned and grabbed Naruto's ankle. He pressed his palm against the mattress and yanked the blonde down. Naruto dropped back onto the mattress with a gasp of surprise, and as he was still catching his breath, Sasuke climbed on top of him.

"This isn't about me trying to get off, dobe." His little blonde Uke blushed underneath him. The combination of his reddened face and tousled hair was doing something to Sasuke. Awakening something deep, urgent, ... primal.

"I know what I want, Naruto" he said, his voice low.

"Sasuke.."

"And what I've wanted for years.." he held Naruto's chin in a firm grip, watching those big beautiful blue eyes of his widen even more. ".. is you."

And despite knowing that this curse was intense and unpredictable, possibly even dangerous, they found themselves leaning in for one more exhilarating, and absolutely terrifying, kiss.

When their mouths touched that heavy warmth spread through them. Their bodies tingled, and as they deepened the kiss that electric feeling began to pulse, sending a rush of toe curling pleasure through their veins, flashing behind their eyes, burrowing deep in their groins. Sasuke slowly lowered himself onto Naruto, careful not to hurt him, but a rush went through him when their torsos met, and all semblance of self-control disappeared. He tucked his hand under Naruto's head, tangling it in thick golden locks as he pulled him closer. He moved his mouth against Naruto's slowly, passionately, then aggressively.

Sasuke was losing himself in the feel of him, and it just made him want more.

He pressed his hips firmly against Naruto's and started to move against him, but almost immediately had to stop. His entire body felt like it was made up of exposed wires. Electricity shot through him, lighting a fire that burned every time Naruto moved, or moaned, or touched him. He could feel it consuming him.

Naruto pushed him back, slowly, cautiously, making sure their mouths would disconnect. Sasuke kept his hips pressed tight against Naruto's, which must have placated the curse, because it let their mouths separate on the first try this time.

"Sa-Sasuke.." Naruto breathed, "wa-wait.."

But when Sasuke looked down into Naruto's lust filled eyes, when he watched Naruto bite down on his lower lip like that, his feral side took over. He growled and thrust roughly against him. Naruto threw his head back as a breathy moan slipped free.

Naruto couldn't deny how amazing it felt, but it was all moving so fast. He pushed at Sasuke's chest again. "Sa-suke.. just- mmmnnn- wa-wait!"

Sasuke grabbed his wrists and pinned them down on the bed. "Please.." he groaned, his voice husky and deep, "don't.. make me stop.."

He lowered his head, but Naruto bit his lip and turned away. Sasuke tried to reign in the insatiable lust radiating through him, but it was so fucking hard. He has never felt a want like this before. Never craved something this fucking badly.

But, I love him. And I need him to want it as much as I do.

He clenched his jaw and lifted himself back onto his hands and knees. When he looked down at his blonde he saw the same want he felt burning in Naruto's eyes, but he saw concern there too. Sasuke brushed back unruly blonde bangs then leaned down and softly kissed the side of his mouth.. the worry lines at the corner of his eye.. the tip of his nose.. the side of his jaw.. the top of his brow. Sasuke pulled himself back up so he could look down at his blonde again.

"I didn't want it to ever stop." Sasuke admitted. "Though I guess that's pretty obvious at this point.."

"I.. wasn't sure I wanted you to stop either." Naruto looked away. "It was just moving so fast.."

"You don't have to explain, dobe." Sasuke climbed off of him and dropped down by his side. They laid there, staring at the ceiling for a while. Then Sasuke slowly reached between them and grasped Naruto's hand, intertwining his fingers with his own. He looked over and met blue eyes looking back at him.

"I love you Naruto."

That little fox grin lit up, sending a pang deep inside the raven's chest.

"I know."

Author Note:

Naruto just went all Han Solo right there!

Brutal, Blondie. Just brutal.

~ If you're not a Star Wars fan, just ignore me. I'll eventually go away lol ~

Anyways, this chapter got steamy (you may or may not have noticed), and the curse took a.. turn. Hopefully not like a what the fuck are you doing to this story?! kind of turn..

I don't know. I just thought I'd try something new. If it sucks, I'm sorry. If it's just weird, but you're curious- don't leave! I'll see what I can do ;)
