Truth or Dare

The Final Step

They spent the following day together and when the time came to part ways, they said their farewells the way any friends or team mates would in a public road and went to their own homes.

Naruto lay on his back in his small bed, his hands behind his head. He couldn't sleep; he missed the body heat and the way Sasuke had snuggled up to him, it felt safe and warm, but surely he couldn't go over to Sasuke's place just to sleep in the same bed as him, could he?

He heard a knock at his door and went to answer it. There, with a pillow and his small stuffed bear, stood Sasuke, looking at Naruto with wide eyes. "My bed was cold so I couldn't sleep." Naruto smiled instantly and pulled Sasuke inside, closed the door and kissed him on the forehead as they stood in an embrace, one of Naruto's hands around Sasuke's waist and the other in his hair, holding Sasukes head to his chest.

After a short while, Sasuke pushed his head back against Naruto's hand so that he could look up to see him. He went on his toes slightly and reached Naruto's lips with his own, pressing them together and slightly nibbling on the lower lip before parting and saying, "That's how I wanted to say 'bye' to you today," he bit his lower lip as he smiled and blushed.

Naruto leaned down and kissed Sasuke on the lips before smiling back and saying, "Lets go to bed." They put Sasuke's pillow on top of Naruto's pillow and Sasuke stripped down to his boxers before getting in beside Naruto under the covers. He lay his head and hands on Naruto's t-shirt covered chest, and tangled his legs with Naruto's own while Naruto wrapped his arms around him and kissed the top of his head.

They slept like that every night for a month. Sometimes they would talk and Naruto would play with Sasuke's hair, sometimes Naruto would lay Sasuke on the bed and lay half on top of him when initiating a passionate make out session where Sasuke would clutch Naruto to him and Naruto would run his hands through Sasuke's hair, holding their heads together before they calmed and returned to their original positions.

But the state of bliss couldn't last because then they were sent on another mission, a longer mission, and they wouldn't be able to lay with each other comfortably for two months. They had to be aware of danger all the time and more than once, a simple kiss was interrupted by a scream in the distance or a kunai in a tree nearby. Their teamwork was spectacular and they had killed hundreds of enemies with relative ease due to the way they were aware of their own and each other's situations and used that to their advantage to flow together and bring the enemy down.

But there were times when an opponent was too strong and if Naruto was injured or down, Sasuke would do whatever it took to protect him, forgetting all the rules, with tears pouring down his face, internally praying for Naruto to get back up, he would fight until he nearly passed out and when the battle was over, he still wouldn't allow himself to fall until he had Naruto safely back in their tent and was tending to wounds that the Kyuubi would heal soon enough anyway. Only when Naruto opened his eyes again did Sasuke smile, one last tear escaping his eye before collapsing from exhaustion. Then it was Naruto's turn to tend to Sasuke's wounds, making sure he was comfortable and would be ready to travel and fight the next day.

When they got back, the first thing they did was take individual showers at Sasuke's home followed by sharing some instant ramen between them and going to bed. They held each other close, breathing in the other's scent and occasionally kissing anywhere they could reach on the other person before falling into a peaceful slumber for the first night in two months, too exhausted o be able to do anything lse like they had after the previous mission.

The next day, Naruto was the first to wake up. They had moved in their sleep and were now facing each other on their sides. Naruto smiled when he saw Sasuke's sleeping face and reached a hand out to stroke away the stray hairs that had fallen on the sleeping raven's pale face. He felt a tug on his shirt, pulling him forward slightly, and saw Sasuke's hands holding him tight on his shirt. It reminded him of the first night he was there when he was leaving the next day and even though the raven was asleep, Sasuke still didn't want him to leave.

It was so strange to Naruto that a stupid game of Truth or Dare had caused the two of them to come together and show feelings for one another. If they hadn't played, would they have got together a different way? A less painful way? He didn't know. All he knew was that somehow, through a strange twist of fate, he was in love with Sasuke. With his smile, with the adorable side that no-one else got to see, with the tears that he had spilled because of him, with his body and most of all, with his heart and soul.

Naruto propped his elbow on the bed and his head on his hands as he continued to watch Sasuke sleep. He stroked his hand up and down Sasuke's body and when a small moan wormed its way out of Sasuke's mouth, he knew that he wanted to go all the way with Sasuke. He kissed Sasuke's forehead and worked his way down to his lips. He was surprised when Sasuke responded but only smiled and continued. When they parted he asked, "How long have you been awake?"

"Longer than you," Sasuke smirked and stretched his head up to connect their lips for another kiss.

"Do you want to just stay in bed together today?" Naruto asked, getting back under the covers and pulling Sasuke to him, his chin on top of Sasuke's head and Sasuke's nose buried in the blonde's neck.

"Mm," he kissed Naruto's neck, "I want to stay right here," he moved his head up and kissed Naruto's chin "with you," he kissed his lips, "always," he mumbled against the soft lips, feeling their breath mingle.

Naruto had his eyes shut as Sasuke spoke, feeling his breath and his touch more intensely. Their mingling breaths teased him and before he knew it, he had slipped his tongue into the raven's mouth, clenched his hands in the raven's silky locks and held their heads together as their tongues battled with each other, their teeth nibbling each other's lips and their hearts pounding in their chests.

When they parted, they lay next to each other on their backs, their arms touching, panting and gasping for breath, both with satisfied smiles on their face. They lay there for a few minutes, silent as their hearts slowed their pounding before Naruto said, "I want to do it," determinedly to the ceiling.

"Do what?" Sasuke turned his head to the side to look at his love.

"I want to join with you in the most intimate way known. I want to become a part of you and really feel you. Sasuke," he turned his head to look Sasuke in the eyes before he spoke again, "I want to...make love to you." The smile on his face was of genuine happiness and confidence, his eyes gleamed as Sasuke's own widened.

"Are you sure?" he asked, "are you really one hundred per cent sure?"

Naruto leaned over and kissed Sasuke on the mouth once, twice, Sasuke responding both times. He pulled away with a smile, lying back on his back. "As sure as I am that I love you." Naruto turned his head to look back at the ceiling and from the corner of his eye saw Sasuke staring at him for a while before his eyes softened, a smile spread across his face and he also turned to look at the ceiling.

Naruto's eyes were closed when he entwined their fingers together and he smiled a closed mouth smile when he felt Sasuke tighten his grip. They lay in silence for 5 minutes before Sasuke spoke.

"When do you want to do it?"

If Naruto had been looking he would have seen the blush that crept on Sasuke's face when he asked the question. He did, however, face him when he answered "Tonight?"

Sasuke's eyes widened, his face turned red and he stuttered facing the ceiling when he answered "O-okay."

XXXXXXXXXX

Sasuke bought the condoms, desperately trying to hide them from any possible fan girls lurking about; if he was caught with them there would be an all out hunt for the girl he was going to sleep with and an all out battle to be the one he was going to sleep with. But as nervous as he was about getting caught with them, he was more nervous about the night ahead. He was worried about disappointing Naruto somehow and being rejected after being through so much together. He had no idea what to expect and there was no way he could prepare himself.

They had decided it should be at Sasuke's house; his bed was much bigger and more comfortable. Naruto said that he would go and prepare the room, Sasuke had no idea what he meant by that but he was told not to be back before seven.

When he got home, the lights were off and he wondered if Naruto was even there. He held the paper bag in his hand nervously as he made his way up the stairs towards his room. He was certain that everyone else he had been a rookie with has already had sex more than once, even lazy Shikamaru must have found someone that wasn't "so troublesome." But he and Naruto still hadn't done it. They were going to tonight, it was like a huge wall that they were going to climb over and he couldn't wait.

He reached his room and opened the door only to drop the bag and his jaw. He could hardly believe it was his room. Candles lit it round the edge and on the surfaces, the covers of his bed were an incredible red, made even more stunning with the roses that were on top of it.

Naruto's head popped up from the other side of the bed where he had been doing god knows what. "Hey!" he called to Sasuke who stood amazed.

"Hey..." he let out weakly, taking it all in.

Naruto walked over from where he was, taking Sasuke's hand in his and kissing him sweetly on the lips. They smiled at each other when they parted, Sasuke blushing under Naruto's intense gaze. Naruto started leading Sasuke to the bed before Sasuke realised he had dropped the condoms and dashed back for them, closing the door as well. He carefully took them out the bag and placed the packets on the bedside table with some hand cream that would be used as lubricant.

Naruto lay Sasuke down in the middle of the bed. He straddled his hips and the hungry look in his eyes caused blood to rush to Sasuke's head and groin. They started how they did every night, removing their clothes, only tonight, they removed each other's clothes instead of their own. They were both in their boxers, Sasuke on his back, his head resting on the pillows and Naruto straddling him.

Naruto watched as Sasuke's chest heaved up and down. Naruto smiled down at him and used a hand to cup the raven's cheek. "You're nervous," he stated.

"Am not," Sasuke turned his head to the side.

"Liar," Naruto placed his lips on Sasuke's and used it as leverage to get Sasuke to face him.

He kept his face an inch away from Sasuke's and looked him in the eye until he said "Maybe a little."

Naruto smiled and kissed him again. "Me too," he comforted, "let's just...do what we always do and take it from there." He leaned down again and they kissed the way they had a thousand times before; slowly, passionately, tongues, teeth and lips. Sasuke's hands around Naruto's waist and Naruto's hands cupping Sasuke's face and fingers through his hair.

And then it changed slightly, Naruto's hands moved down to Sasuke's chest, flicking at a nipple and stroking the skin. Sasuke's hand wondered a little lower, cupping Naruto's ass and pulling their groins together. Naruto moved his mouth from Sasuke's to his neck, sucking and licking and kissing at the skin as Sasuke panted, his hands comping up to holding Naruto's body close and wrapping his legs around the blonde's waist, holding it tight. His breath hitched as Naruto moved his lips from Sasuke's neck to his chest and kissed and nipped at it, suckling on the nipples as Sasuke's breath hitched and his hands went into Naruto's hair, pulling at it slightly in a way the made Naruto moan. The blonde stuck his tongue out and made a trail of saliva leading down to Sasuke's belly button, his stomach sucking in and gasps of "Naru" escaping his lips. Naruto allowed his tongue to travel around Sasuke's belly button occasionally dipping in causing Sasuke to gasp some more.

"Kiss me!" Sasuke called out, and seconds later, Naruto was on his lips, kissing them in a way that had Sasuke moaning into his mouth. Naruto's hands continued to trail down Sasuke's body until he reached the edge of his boxers. He rested his hand on top of the bulge and Sasuke's legs instinctively crossed over, causing Naruto to draw back his hand and end the kiss. He looked down at Sasuke, worry in his eyes.

Sasuke looked away, his cheeks turning rosy from embarrassment, "sorry," he mumbled.

Naruto shook his head, "Don't apologise. Just, are you sure you want to do this? I mean, we both need to be ready, not just me."

"Of course I want to do this!" Sasuke nearly shouted, "It's just embarrassing and kind of awkward."

Naruto smiled down at him and leaned down to kiss him while a hand of his reached for one of Sasuke's own. He held it by the wrist and directed it to his own bulging boxers, allowing Sasuke to feel his member. Naruto laughed "You're right, it is embarrassing, but it also feels good," he leaned down for another kiss and released Sasuke's hand which stayed there on its own while his newly free hand tried again.

This time Sasuke didn't flinch, and after a few moments, he even moaned in pleasure. He shakily tried to move his hand up and down Naruto's clothed manhood, finding it difficult to get a steady rhythm. They kept their kiss going, Sasuke needed the kiss so that he new Naruto was there so that he new they would be okay.

It took some time but when Naruto finally got his hand under Sasuke's boxers and came in contact with the weeping head, Sasuke let out an almighty moan, and started panting, "Naru, oh God Naru!" His legs lay slack on the bed and Naruto moved to take off Sasuke's boxers and his own. Naruto sat on his knees between Sasuke's legs and the two of them looked at each other, both completely naked, their eyes met and they smiled shyly, a small laugh falling from Naruto's lips before he leaned down to capture Sasuke's own. Whilst kissing Sasuke, Naruto grabbed the moisturiser, that they would use as lubricant, and squirted some on his hand. He brought his hand down to Sasuke's member and Sasuke gasped a the cold contact. Naruto began to stroke it at a slow pace whilst Sasuke moaned into his mouth and his body jerked and his blunt nails dug into Naruto's toned back. Naruto pecked his lips one more time before drawing back but continuing his slow strokes, smiling at Sasuke's lust and love-filled eyes as moan after moan spilled from his lips, his body continued to jerk and his hands fisted the roses on the bed covers.

When Naruto stopped to get some more cream in his hand, Sasuke whined at the loss of contact and panted heavily. "Feel good?" Naruto asked, squeezing the cream on one hand. Sasuke blushed with a genuine smile on his face as he nodded "Un." Naruto laughed a small quiet laugh before leaning down to kiss Sasuke. He went back to his sitting position between Sasuke's legs and allowed the cream to run down his middle finger before rubbing it against Sasuke's entrance.

"Ah!" Sasuke yelped at the cold intimate touch, "we're... really doing this."

"Unless you're having second thoughts?"

Sasuke shook his head furiously. Naruto smiled a beautiful smile before leaning in and stopping an inch away from Sasuke's mouth, "relax," he said before finally closing the distance between them and eased his finger inside the tiny hole. Sasuke held his breath as it moved around, slowly thrusting in and out. He felt so strange and so awkward, but he felt his stomach flutter at the thought of it being Naruto doing this to him.

"You okay?"

"Un."

They kissed as Naruto added in a second finger and on the third, Sasuke whimpered. Naruto kissed him repeatedly to distract him as he slowly thrusted his fingers in and out. Naruto pressed his forehead to Sasuke's who's eyes were shut tight. "We can stop of you want," Naruto whispered.

"No," Sasuke called out, wrapping his arms around Naruto's neck and pulling him into another kiss. "It's okay," he continued after they parted, "I'm okay." He took a deep shaky breath before saying "do it," and lay his arms sprawled out by his side again and leaning up to catch Naruto's lips.

Naruto took a deep breath before removing his fingers and reaching for the box of condoms. He opened the box and removed one before releasing it form the packet and rolling it down his member. He then reached for the table again, getting more cream on his hand for his member. Naruto sat up between Sasuke's legs and rubbed the cream onto the condom. His free hand stroked the inside of Sasuke's thigh, occasionally giving Sasuke's manhood another stroke.

Sasuke watched Naruto stroke himself with closed eyes and mouth slightly parted, panting. He wondered if Naruto was picturing anything as he stroked himself when suddenly Naruto's eyes were on him. He could see the need in his eyes and it excited him. The further in they got, the more he wanted the final stage where they would be one, the more he wanted to feel him inside his body. Naruto leaned in, member in one hand, and other hand on the pillow by Sasuke's head to keep his balance.

"Ready?" Naruto asked as he pressed the head of his cock between Sasuke's cheeks and against his entrance. Sasuke made sure to look in his eyes when he nodded. Naruto took a deep breath before pressing and pressing and pressing until the head was inside. Sasuke bit his lip and pressed his head back, his eyes clenched and tears gathering behind the lids. Naruto himself panted, the tightness of Sasuke feeling incredible around his flesh. He paused, both his hands now on either side of Sasuke's head as he watched his face contort in pain. He wanted to stop, he wanted to pull out and just cradle Sasuke in his arms and apologise for hurting him, but just as he was about to take action, Sasuke's face relaxed slightly and he told Naruto to continue. "Keep going," he forced out.

Naruto pressed in more, biting his own lip as he groaned. He pressed and pressed until he was in to the hilt. He stayed there for what felt like an age, both of them panting, their faces inches apart. They looked into each other's eyes and as Sasuke got used to the filled sensation, he smiled at Naruto, realising that at that particular moment, they were joined in a way they wouldn't be with anyone else ever. Naruto smiled back and ran his his hands along Sasuke's arms until he got to the raven's hands and linked their fingers together, he lent down and they kissed, their tongues twining and their teeth clashing.

It was in that moment, where everything felt so right that Sasuke was glad Naruto had brought him back from Orochimaru, he was happy that Naruto had suggested playing Truth or Dare and he was over the moon that Naruto had saved him when he thought he had nothing. If Naruto hadn't brought him back, if Naruto hadn't suggested Truth or Dare, if Naruto hadn't found him when he had cut himself, he wouldn't feel the pure happiness he felt there and then.

When Naruto pulled back form the kiss he was shocked to see Sasuke in tears. "Shit Sasuke it hurts doesn't it? I'm pulling out."

"No! Please don't pull out."

"But you're crying damn it!"

"I'm happy! I'm crying because I'm so god damn fucking happy!"

"Sasuke..." Naruto looked at him, shocked, before continuing, "Are you sure it isn't because you have a huge penis in your ass for the first time?"

Sasuke burst out laughing as Naruto smiled and kissed the tears away. Sasuke caught Naruto's lips with his own before he kissed his tear stained cheek again, "yes, I'm sure," he said when they parted.

When Naruto leaned down to kiss his raven's neck, Sasuke whispered "move," and Naruto's hips pulled back before thrusting slowly back in. He kept a slow pace, his hands gripping Sasuke tightly, their lips meeting in frequent chaste kisses as they worked their was to completion. They moaned and groaned and slowly, the pace they were going at was too slow. Naruto sped up his pace and unlinked a hand to bring it down to Sasuke's member. He started to stroke it in time with his thrusts and soon Sasuke's panting and moaning got louder as he got closer and closer. They parted lips and Naruto sat up, keeping their fingers linked, and continued thrusting and pumping.

"Uh uh uh Naru."

"Mm, Sasu."

"Ah! Naru...I'm..." Naruto continued to stroke Sasuke's member as he came, his seed going onto his stomach, his entrance clenched around Naruto causing him to ejaculate into the condom.

When both of their highs passed, they stayed as they were, catching their breaths and calming down. Naruto pulled out and removed the condom, wrapping it in many tissues he got from the box on the bedside table then throwing it at the bin by the door. He got more tissues and cleaned up Sasuke's stomach.

"That was amazing," Sasuke said, grinning like an idiot. Naruto also smiled brightly when he leaned down to kiss him before throwing the tissues away. He released Sasuke's hand for a minute as they both made their way under the rose covered blankets. they tangled their legs and lay on their sides facing each other, their faces lit by the candles still glowing in the room. They wrapped their arms around each other and lazily kissed each other, their activities catching up with them and exhaustion kicking in.

"I'm glad we waited," Naruto said as Sasuke moved so his head rested on Naruto's chest.

"Me too," Sasuke linked a hand with Naruto's, the blonde's other hand was playing with the raven's hair.

"I love you, Sasuke."

Sasuke turned his head and looked into Naruto's blue eyes, reflecting the flickering flames. "I love you too, Naruto." They kissed a final time that night before nestling under the covers and-

"My house had better not burn down from your candles by the way."

"They won't and even if they did, you can stay at my place however long you want."

A pause.

"Blow them out Naruto."

"What? But I'm in bed!"

"I don't care, blow them out."

Naruto crawled out of bed and blew out the hundred candles before crawling back under the covers, Sasuke making himself comfortable on Naruto's chest as if he hadn't just forced him out of bed after sex.

"Thank you," Sasuke said in a sweet voice.

"Hn," Naruto replied, a content smile on his face the whole time.
