Truth or Dare
Making Amends
A week after Sasuke woke up, he was back in his home, mostly staying in bed and gradually building up his strength again. Naruto would come to visit him to make sure he was alright and ensure that he got everything that he needed. Sasuke would sometimes ask him to just stay with him so that they could be together. He would mentally work up the courage to talk about what happened between him and Neji and tell Naruto that it was a misunderstanding, but Naruto refused to listen. He didn't get angry, his eyes just flashed a look of hurt and pain, but he would get up and say that he had work to do. He always ended up leaving Sasuke with fresh tears and thinking that what they had might be over.
Sasuke couldn't understand why Naruto kept on coming over and took care of him when he had hurt him so badly and he refused to listen to him. The raven assumed that Naruto was angry and hated him, why would anyone want to make sure that someone they hated was okay? He voiced this one day as Naruto helped him sit up in his bed and placed a tray in front of him with freshly made chicken soup for a late lunch.
"why are you here Naruto?" his head was leaning forward and the fallen bangs hid his face. Naruto remained silent for a moment and this made Sasuke angry, "damn it Naruto! Just say it! Say that you hate me for what I did to you! I'd rather that then not have you saying anything about how you feel!" after having burnt some of his energy, he talked quietly again, "why would you do all this for me? Why would you take care of me? Why would you do this and then not want to hear what I have to say?"
"because. Because, I don't want to hear it. I don't want to think about what you did or see you with him in my head" there was a knock at the door and Naruto left the room silently muttering an "I'll be right back".
When he opened the door he found Neji standing there, looking at the ground, his feet playing with the dirt.
"Sasuke, I want to apolo- Naruto? What are you doing here?"
"I'm taking care of Sasuke until he is fully recovered. Can I help you?"
"actually, I wanted to talk to you, to both of you."
XXXXxxxxXXXXxxxxXXXX
Naruto allowed Neji inside and lead him to the bedroom in which Sasuke was eating his soup. Although it had been over a week since he woke up in the hospital, he was still paler than usual and eating less food had made him a lot thinner than before making him look unhealthy.
"Sasuke…" Neji mumbled the name as he saw the state that Sasuke was in and tears started to form behind his clear eyes. Sasuke looked up and a slightly frightened look came over his face when he saw Neji. Naruto noticed this but didn't think much of it. "Sasuke, i… I wanted to apologise to you and to Naruto for causing such a huge huge mess."
"I don't want to hear this" Naruto said as he made his way to the door.
"wait! You need to hear this, Sasuke didn't do anything! It was all my fault. I pushed myself on him. He didn't want any of it!" Naruto stopped to listen and looked at Sasuke who was looking at Neji wondering why he was doing this; Sasuke thought he wanted to ruin things for him, not make them right again. He thought he was going to tell Naruto that his boyfriend was a whore. And Naruto thought that the look on Sasuke's face was one of shock… was Neji covering for him?
"Naruto. Listen to me. Me and Sasuke just bumped into each other in the street, it wasn't planned or anything. We hadn't seen each other in a while and went to the springs. When we were there I just… couldn't control myself. I had made a move on him and when he realised that it was me he pushed me away! He told me that he loved you and that he only wanted to be with you. He begged me not to tell you because he didn't want to hurt you."
"Neji"
Neji turned to fully face Sasuke.
"please don't say anything about this to Naruto"
Neji snatched his hand away from Sasuke's grasp, "and what's in it for me? Eh?"
Sasuke's head shot up as he stared into Neji's pale eyes, his own starting to pool water around the edges, "Anything! I'll do anything! I love Naruto and I don't want to hurt him!"
"you'd think that that would have made me quit and realise there was no room for him to love me the way I loved him, but I had to take advantage of what he felt for you, Naruto."
An evil smirk crossed his features "so you will do whatever I say?"
"whatever you say" he repeated, "anything to keep you from telling Naruto"
Neji clapped his hands together, "let's get started then shall we?"
Sasuke's eyes widened slightly, but he quickly regained himself and nodded.
"one, you will call me 'Neji-sama'"
"yes Neji-sama"
Neji grinned at the immediate obedience and as more rules formed in his head.
"you will follow me where I go, you will wear a necklace that has my name on it to show that you belong to me… and Sasuke…" he dipped lower into the water, leaning towards Sasuke's ear as Sasuke shut his eyes tight as he whispered, "you will be my uke"
"so you did have sex?" Naruto asked.
"no! Naruto – " Sasuke started but Neji interrupted him.
"no. he wouldn't take it…"
"What? No, I can't do that; that would be cheating and I can't do that to Naruto." He restrained his arms from flailing about in the air as he protested.
"yea? Well you're going to have to if you don't want him to find out what you did" he said with a satisfied smirk.
"whao! Neji! A kiss is one thing, it was an accident anyway! But sex? Nu-uh I can't do that, I won't do that!" he said determinedly, confidence clear in his voice.
Neji's smirk faded as he became furious and lashed out at Sasuke, grabbing him by the hair and pulling his head back leaving his neck as an easy target. Sasuke's hands lay limp by his sides, too afraid to do anything, fingers slightly twitching, as Neji breathed words in his ear; "you will do what I say, and when I say it. You belong to me and me alone."
Sasuke whimpered under his hold with his eyes tightly shut and tears pricking his eyes as Neji started to nibble on his lobe roughly and made his way to Sasuke's neck which he bit hard enough to break the skin and leave a very visible hickey. His hand started stroking Sasuke's le –
"stop it! Don't tell me about that! I don't want to know!" Naruto shouted. He didn't want to know about what Sasuke had gone through, he didn't want to start feeling guilty for having doubted his love for him, but he did, he felt terrible thinking about the pain that Sasuke had gone through with himself in his head, with Neji and then with him.
"you're right, sorry. But, I just wanted to tell you that you have someone who really loves you and don't let my stupid actions ruin what you've got." Neji fell to the floor bowing down before the two boys. "please. I'm not asking for your forgiveness, I just want to clear things between you two." They all stood there silent, Neji still bowing, as thoughts ran through their minds. The tension was thick in the air and everyone felt as though they were being chocked by it. But eventually Naruto ran his fingers through his golden locks and spoke, "I… I just don't know what to say. Or what to do." He paused, "Sasuke, is, what he said… the truth?"
Sasuke nodded. "I'm so sorry Naru. I never wanted to hurt you. I didn't mean for it to happen. It's just, in the springs, it was so relaxing and I was hardly aware of anything around me. And then someone kissed me, I naturally assumed it was you. You're the only one I want to kiss."
Naruto didn't understand what he should be feeling. It was too confusing for him at the time. He walked to the door and faced out the frame whilst saying, "Sasuke, Neji, thank you for telling me. But I need to think things out. I'll see you later" before walking out the door and out the house.
"Naruto wait!" Sasuke called out to him having reached the bottom of the stairs just as the door slammed shut.
XXXXxxxxXXXXxxxxXXXX
Naruto went back to the hilltop where he previously found Sasuke. The air was so clear here, he could breathe easily here. But so much was running through his mind. He wanted to believe Sasuke and Neji. He wanted to believe that Sasuke didn't want to kiss anyone but him. That he was truly sorry and that he loved him. But at the same time, it felt impossible to do. How could he forgive someone who he loved who had hurt him? He didn't know if it would have hurt more finding out from any of the three that had told him what happened. He was grateful that Sasuke had told him, he had said what had happened and even admitted that he had responded until he realised it was a mistake, but what if he really did want to be with someone else? What if he really did want to be with Neji and not him?
Sasuke had tried to kill himself. He nearly succeeded. Why did he do it? Because he was ashamed of what he had done and couldn't face Naruto? Because he was scared that Neji would tell him something that wasn't true and Naruto wouldn't believe him? Or because he felt bad because he might have enjoyed it and couldn't face Naruto when he has feelings for someone else?
Naruto clutched onto his hair and screamed out his agitation. The shock and fear of losing Sasuke, mixed together with the hurt he felt at Sasuke's actions became too much for the blonde kitsune and he started to cry and he screamed to the world, "what do I do?" he muttered to the ground, "what do I DO!?" he shouted his renewed agitation, "he cheated on me didn't he? He didn't have sex with him but he kissed him"
'but he didn't realise it was him. He regrets it and apologised'
"but what if it happens again?"
'it won't happen again, he loves you. He wouldn't have told you the truth so willingly when he could have lied, if he didn't love you'
"but… I'm scared. I'm scared that he won't be able to wait for me and will lose patience and will leave me"
"I won't leave you Naru"
Naruto turned around swiftly to see Sasuke, still in his night clothes consisting of black silk boxers and a dark blue baggy T-Shirt standing between a couple of trees, he had a hand placed on one of the trees holding him up and preventing him from falling. Low branches of the trees around him acted as a frame for him, uniting him with nature and giving him a certain glow and look of innocence. Naruto sat there startled and shocked for a minute, just looking at Sasuke and gaping slightly before he saw Sasuke's legs shaking and ran to catch him before he fell to the ground.
Naruto held Sasuke's small form in his arms bridal style as he lowered the both of them to the floor and Naruto supported Sasuke's upper body wrapping his arms around his waist and back and bringing him close to his chest holding him tight.
"baka. You know you shouldn't be walking around for so long yet. Your blood pressure is too low"
"Gomen." There was a pause before Sasuke spoke again, "Gomen Naru. I know you said you needed some time but I just…"
"it's okay."
"Naru?" Sasuke parted his head from Naruto's chest and looked up into his eyes.
"hmm?" Naruto also looked down at Sasuke.
"I love you. And I don't care how long it takes for you to be ready and truly be able to go the last step with me. I don't want you to feel rushed or under pressure"
Naruto looked away from Sasuke, up at the clear sky as the sun slowly started to set, "you say that now. But what if I'm still not ready in a few months? Would you still be patient and faithful?"
"of course!" Sasuke pushed himself out of Naruto's grasp and kneeled on the floor in front of the blonde. Naruto looked at him with a questioning look before Sasuke closed his eyes and leaned in towards Naruto. Naruto didn't move, he watched Sasuke as he moved closer to him until he finally felt Sasuke's lips on his own. It felt so right, so pure and passionate with just a touch and Naruto closed his eyes and deepened the kiss placing his hands on either side of Sasuke's head to keep them close together.
Had tongues been involved, the moment would have been ruined, so they parted their lips, Naruto looked at Sasuke sorrowfully and Sasuke looked up and Naruto with an innocent smile and softened eyes, "I missed kissing you." Sasuke said before giving Naruto a quick peck on the lips.
After that, no words were spoken for the rest of the evening. The two sat in their clearing looking out towards the setting sun as they lie in each others' arms holding each other tightly and occasionally pecking each others' lips. But Naruto's mind was still troubled by Sasuke's actions 2 weeks ago. He still wanted to know why Sasuke had done it. But he would ask another time…
Is that enough?
Well it had better be. To be honest I don't know what I'm going to do next! So I am actually begging for ideas. Maybe I'll do a poll…
