Now, I leave you to it, and as always, enjoy~ :D
Naruto bit hard on his lips as Kakashi's hands started removing the bandage from Sasuke's eyes. It was finally the date when they would see for sure if the operation was a success or not. He crossed his fingers, waiting patiently for the result to turn out positive and for Sasuke's eyes to see once more. Kakashi finished unwrapping the bandage and removed the two gauzes placed to help sterilize the area around the eyes, not to get any infection. As far as he knew, Sasuke should have been now able to see just fine, if the operation was a success; yes, they'd have some complications along the way, but in the end, they were able to do what they needed to do inside Sasuke's eyes.
Taking a deep breath, the ophthalmologist spoke with confidence. "Alright, Sasuke, open your eyes now."
The suspense was in the air, and every single individual present was holding his breath. Sasuke nodded and so slowly fluttered his long eyelashes to open up the jewels inside. Naruto was the first to release a yelp, Sasuke's beautiful eyes, finally! For a period more than two months, he was finally able to come face to face with those orbs he loved so much.
"So? Can you see?"
At the shook that came from Sasuke's head, Naruto felt his heart sink and his excitement die down. "Nothing. It's the same darkness. Are you sure you didn't mess up something inside while you were operating on me?"
Kakashi scowled at his still blind cousin. "No, everything went perfectly well. How about you trying blinking, your eyes might just try to cope with the sudden light."
Sasuke blinked a few times and sighed. "It's the same. I still can't see."
"This is weird."
"Let me check, then." Tsunade made herself known to the group of men present and walked with confidence to Sasuke, Kakashi made her some room and she came inspecting Sasuke's eyes, she looked and instructed him to move it up and down and sideways, after, she pulled out her small flashlight and looked keenly inside the eyes, finally taking it back into the lab coat, she said. "Everything is fine. His eyes should be functioning normally."
"Then what theories do you have for them not functioning? Something wrong must still be going on or his eyes would be able to see by now." Itachi spoke not satisfied with the results being given to him.
"Well, it can always be his psych. You know how sometimes when you don't feel like doing something; your whole body responds to it by decreasing the blood flow to the muscles and you feel ache all over?" Tsunade clarified.
The long haired raven nodded. "Then your point is that Sasuke's brain is refusing his eyes the ability to see?"
"It is a possibility. We can only be sure of this after further tests." Kakashi answered this time.
Naruto made his way close to Sasuke's side and grabbed the pale hands that were just lying there, into his own. Sasuke quickly released a reassuring smile for the sake of his trouble boyfriend and squeezed back the tan hands.
"I'm fine, Naruto. Stop worrying."
"I haven't said anything."
"I can feel it."
And feeling too shy to publicly give the kiss he wanted so much to give to Sasuke right now, Naruto nodded, keeping his emotions in check, and waited patiently for the adults present to take up their conversation on the best course of treatment for Sasuke's eyes outside. His blue orbs watched as Itachi gave his baby brother a pat on the head and said in a whisper some words only for Sasuke to hear. And he stayed out of it.
Naruto gave a smile as Itachi nodded to him to stay with Sasuke as they see what they were going to do outside. Turning to the teen lying with a nonchalant expression on the hospital bed, the blond's face broke into a soft expression.
"How are you feeling?"
"Would it be weird if I said I'm peaceful?"
"Not weird. Just unexpected. Would you mind telling me why?"
"I can't understand it myself, but somehow, I knew. And even though I dreaded the moment when I won't be able to see a thing for eternity, now that I'm faced with the possibility that I may permanently be unable to see, I feel peaceful. Like every doubt, every pain that was associated with my fear of this day has finally left me be. And I can view things in a new light. Maybe losing my sight is the right course for things to go right now."
Naruto's brows furred together, not accepting his boyfriend's words like he seemed to. "I hope you're not thinking something along the lines of 'this is my redemption to my mother and myself for what I've done'?"
"That's exactly it. And the fact that I feel at ease only backs it up. This is how I should redeem myself."
"Sasuke, I may not be the smartest person alive, and I hardly believe in anything religious either. But what I know and am sure of is that you can't build up losing something important as redeeming to stuff you were never able to avoid. Okay, maybe trying to kill yourself would have been avoided, but on the circumstances that you were facing, I do believe it was justified, you were only a seven years old kid, I don't think God punishes children. Children are innocent. If there is anyone that needs to redeem himself, it would be that Danzo guy that had you suffer hell at such an early age."
Sasuke shook his head, refusing his love's words. "I understand what you're trying to say, but they are only excuses, for my failure. It doesn't matter how old I was, I should have seen it coming, and I should have tried to protect her. Now that I know what's what, I feel very clam and tranquil to be punished this way."
Naruto released a sigh and chose to let this subject rest at the moment, because as much as he loved Sasuke, he wanted nothing more than to hit him to a damn pulp for the silly words he seemed to believe in so much. And the words that Tsunade-sensei has said about Sasuke's psych refusing to allow him to see, were ringing inside his brain making him think that maybe, she wasn't so far off from the whole truth as he thought she was at the beginning.
The door being opened relieved him any further thoughts as Kakashi started telling both of them about the decisions they have made as doctors concerning Sasuke's condition, and as a member of his family about how Sasuke should start on with his normal life as soon as possible and not to let this setback forbid him from behaving in any different way from his usual self. Naruto listened with the utmost care, until he was asked to step out for they needed to start on a different round of tests for Sasuke's sake.
"Did you see?"
"Yes. My heart broke in two when I did!"
"I can't believe it, this is a disaster! He was away for a while and they said he was on a trip to Paris, but now…"
"Yes, it was a good cover up! I'm still too shocked to believe it. Why did this have to happen to the handsomest guy in this whole damn school?!"
"I know, right? There are so many ugly guys out there, why couldn't this happen to them?!"
"God is so not fair!"
"You said that right, sister!"
Sakura rolled her eyes at her two classmate sitting two seats behind her. It was finally made public that Sasuke Uchiha, the pride of Konoha High and the Prince of the whole female population – well, the ones that had no life on their hands except fawning on who's hot and who's not, had gone blind. And the rumours that were always circulating about how he was to go blind one day, had finally been confirmed. Sakura sighed when the girls behind her started doing a memorial service for Sasuke's dead eyes. She stood up from her seat and started heading out of the classroom, in search of her best friend.
It was the fifth day since Sasuke had come to school announcing that he was unable to see but assuring his teachers that he would still be able to function properly and keep his academic record the way it was. Some teachers were reluctant to this and insisted that he takes a course for the blind and maybe think of another school beside this one but, as Naruto had told Sakura, Sasuke refused this and insisted that they test him with the upcoming examination, that if his academic record was to drop, he'd be happy to leave to a more specialized school.
She sighed for the umpteenth time that day. In her opinion, Sasuke was just being stupid; it was unheard of that a blind person could take examinations for normal people! Let's say he was being aided into reading the questions, how would he answer? Would he be allowed to verbalize his answers? But then that will not be fair, as the time they needed to write an answer and the time one needs for answering a question are totally uneven, and he would thus be given the special treatment. Something she saw was not fair to those who studied their ass off all year long to pass with flying colours.
On her own thoughts' maze, she had forgotten the reason why she has left her classroom in the first place; remembering that Naruto was in fact the reason, she quickly made a detour upstairs knowing that her best friend would surely be slacking off in the roof, as he has made a habit of this for a while now. As far as she knew, Naruto's basketball team has finished all of their finals, and had won the first place in the Interhigh. Naruto had participated and was known right now in the basketball society as the kid that grinned like a fox and had the speed of one too.
Her long legs halted to a stop when she heard the laughter of her best friend come from behind the door. Taking a peek, her jade eyes rolled at the sight of the blind raven being overly comfortable with Naruto. And even though she refused to admit it due to her proud soul, she was a bit jealous at the view beside her. And it wasn't that she was still harbouring feelings for the dick, no, it was because she was feeling that her friend was slowly slipping from her company. For every time they would come together, Naruto's mouth and mind would be filled with only one subject, Sasuke.
Deciding that he needed some punishment for always blowing her off like that, Sakura intruded on the two lovers' time.
"This is sickening!"
Naruto was jolted from Sasuke's lap at the familiar voice; he smiled cheekily at the apparently dissatisfied female. "S-Sakura-chan?"
"Naruto, you know I have nothing against you two being together, but please, can you tune down on the mushiness when you're at school?"
"…W-well…no one is here, so…"
"Say that someone else, beside me decided to come to the roof just this moment for some fresh air, what would you do if they caught you here?"
"No one comes here." Sasuke made his presence known by hooking one of his hands loosely on one of Naruto's shoulders and glaring at the place he thought Sakura was in and failing miserably.
"I'm not trying to criticize you here, I just wanted Naruto to be aware of this, because even if you're alright with him being bullie-"
"Sakura!"
The pink haired girl flipped her ponytail and scowled at Naruto. "Oh shush you. He needs to know this if he wants to be so lovey-dovey with you within school, you can't keep him in the dark about something this important."
"Naruto? What is she talking about?"
Looking the other way from the love of his life, the tan teen glared silently at Sakura who 'hmph'ed ignoring him. Because to her, Naruto's wellbeing was more important than his satisfaction.
"Since he is refusing to tell you, I will. Ever since you had made friends with Naruto, he was being bullied by your female fan club. It quieted down when you were in the hospital, but now that you're back, he is being bullied again, and especially since you are not ashamed to say that he is yours and you're his. He was withstanding shit from the moment he'd known you at!"
"Sakura! Enough! It's not Sasuke's fault so stop making it sound as if it is!"
"He needs to know!"
"And you've told him! Mind leaving us alone right now?"
Sakura pouted at this and marched downstairs, not sparing her best friend a look back, and she wouldn't, because she had done nothing wrong. If Sasuke was really serious into this relationship, he should've realized what his actions were doing to her best friend, and she wasn't about to sugar coat it to him either!
Naruto watched as Sakura slammed the rooftop's door behind her; he sighed and looked at the raven that removed his arm away from his shoulder.
"Sasuke?"
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because it was of no importance. The pranks began as something small, like taking my notebook and throwing it in the water, or shredding it to pieces, which didn't matter 'cause I always had Sakura's notes to copy from."
"It still wouldn't justify not telling me, and if they were so minor, your friend wouldn't sound so pissed."
"Had I told you, you'd go around doing something uncalled for, and getting yourself in trouble for hitting a girl, which at that time I didn't think you'll not do. And as to Sakura being pissed, it's because a few days back, I found some nails in my gym shoes." Naruto chuckled. "How old fashioned, right? I felt like the nerdy girl in a shoujo manga where the other girls start to harass her because she was dating their target. I didn't know whether I should be laughing or be worried that they will start on plotting my murder."
Sasuke didn't like the way Naruto seemed to be going on dealing with this; his boyfriend was too careless and something had to be done before this bullying subject escalated.
"Tell the teachers."
"No can do, Sasuke. Since I have no one to accuse, and honestly, I don't want to, sooner or later, they'll stop. There is nothing fun in trying to bully me, I'm a man, I can stand up for myself if things were detouring. But I can understand it, their desire to cause me discomfort for stealing you away from them, I understand that feeling very well."
A fine brow was raised at those words and Sasuke's mouth turned into a smirk. "And who, by all means, did you wish to kill to win me?"
"It's not wanting to kill, per say, and not the same situation, but I understand where their desire comes from. When you were away, I felt the pain of parting from you and never being able to see you again were too much. So yeah, if I were to see you with another person, kissing and going out, I would want to hurt that person, or at least make his or her life a living hell for a while, that's why I understand them. And I will not report them; I'll wait 'till they are all satisfied and comfortable to see me stand by your side, because honestly Sasuke, what all those girls do is just loving you. And love isn't such a bad thing, so I don't think they need to be punished for that."
"When they start being irrational and hurt you, they need to be. Naruto, I'll give this matter one week and one week only, if this bullying doesn't stop, I'll take matters into my own hands, and you know I don't make empty threats."
"Sasuke, stop taking everything so seriously!" Naruto pouted moving himself closer to the other.
"When it's about hurting you, it's serious."
"They're not hurting. They're just blowing steam, nothing wrong with that."
"One week or else!"
Rolling his blue orbs, Naruto nodded and had to seal those lips with a kiss to change the stressful atmosphere Sakura's words had so foolishly placed them into.
"Something is not right with Naruto."
Kakashi raised a brow from the book he was reading and directed his attention to his brown haired lover. "And why would you think that?"
"He is what? About to turn seventeen now, and he is still without a girlfriend. I know he had a thing for Sakura-chan, but she didn't give off the vibe that she was interested in him, and when they are together, I only see that they are very close friends. No love is there."
Kakashi had to close the book as the subject he tried so hard to avoid having to ever have with Iruka came back to haunt him, reminding him that really, there was no way to escape this.
"Why not just talk to him about it? Ask him what's new with his love life."
"I would if I could. Somehow, it feels like he's avoiding me every time I start to talk to him about this."
"Hmm…then trap him."
"Trap him?"
"Yes. Like ambush him, one day when he comes back from school and after he takes his rest, go up to his room, lock the door and force him to pour everything out for you."
"Kakashi, it's not like it's something extreme for him not wanting me to be a part of his private life, and I won't be dealing with him as if he is a criminal and go do what you've just suggested. I just want him to want to tell me, not me forcing myself on him."
"You're his father; you have the right to force everything on him."
Iruka handed the cup of coffee that he'd just prepared to his boyfriend and smiled as he was pulled to sit on the other's lap replacing the huge medical book that was put on the wooden table for a different time.
"I wouldn't know how to face Minato-san if I did."
"I think he would be grateful for the things you've already done for Naruto so far, that he'd look over it if you were to press a bit hard on his son just this once."
"Even if he is satisfied with that, I won't. As I told you, I want him to want to let me in."
"Teenagers will never want you in. that's just how their hormones work. If you want to know something from them, you have to force it out."
Iruka sighed and blew on the mug in his hands. "Let's say I took your advice, these days, Naruto is hardly home. He is always off with Sasuke-kun and is never home. When he comes back it's always too late for us to have a decent conversation since he just goes to stuff his face with food and then sleeps."
"Then when he is stuffing his face with food, go and talk to him."
"I tried once. But all I got were absentminded answers. I have no idea what to do."
Kakashi gave a soft kiss to the nape that was begging him to, and gently took the mug free from Iruka's hands to turn him over and look into those lost chocolate orbs he adored so much.
"Then answer me this and I hope by it, you'll stop being confused."
"Hmm…will it help me?"
"I hope."
"Okay then, what do you want to know?"
"Do you believe that Naruto is normal?"
Frowning at the question, Iruka asked for some clarifications. "Normal as in what sense? His attitude? His language? Behavioural? Academic?"
"The sexual sense."
"Sexual? He'd be straight, right? Since he was in love with Sakura. And as far as I can remember, Naruto had always had feelings for females only…why? Did he tell you something? Do you know something I don't, Kakashi?"
The silver haired smiled and kissed the other avoiding the rain of questions. "That's why I said you two need to start by talking."
"Hatake Kakashi!" Iruka removed himself from the comfortable lap and stood –after placing the hot mug in a safe distance, putting his hands on his hips glaring down on the doctor. "What did my stupid son tell you?"
"He didn't say anything. I just have good eyes. And I won't tell you anything either, because it's his business to tell, not mine. You have to talk this out with him, and please Iruka, don't put me in this position, I hate keeping secrets from you, but I can't betray a secret I have been entrusted with. So, just talk with your son, and clear everything up, because holding secrets is really annoying."
Iruka scowled at him, and put a hand under his chin. "Since when do you know of this secret?"
"I can't tell you that either, since you'll figure out the secret if I do. Talk to Naruto."
Kakashi picked up on the somewhat cold coffee right now and took back the medical book he was reading signalling to his lover that this conversation between them has ended and if he really wanted to know more, he should go and discuss it with Naruto. Kakashi watched from the corner of his eyes as Iruka put his mug on the sink and headed towards the apartment's door.
"I'll head back now and see what it is you're hiding from me, Kakashi."
"That would be best."
Iruka nodded his goodbye and Kakashi finally allowed himself a break to breath and to finally let go of the secret those stupid two teens had been forcing him to keep for all of these months.
Sasori pressed his hands together and watched as he was given the signal to step inside from the doctor that had finally finished tending to Deidara's condition. He bit his lips, feeling responsible for the state that he'd put his lifelong best friend in. Why couldn't he keep his mouth shut!? He has done a fine job of it so far! Why not now? When he knew the bad mental and body state Deidara was in, and how he was in no position to have bombs of truth be thrown at him from every direction he turned his head into.
Forcing his self-beating to a stop, Sasori made his way inside. He was happy when he saw that whatever the doctor had given to Deidara was working and retrieving his friend back to the health he needed. He neared to inspect and the bony face ceased to be so bony with the dark cheeks finally filling in with liquids again. Sasori allowed himself the pleasure of watching over the sleeping blond.
As far as he knew, Deidara was always very proud of his hair, and he would never allow a scissor to come close to it, because as he said so many times to Sasori, it was his treasure, and the redheaded knew just why. It was the hair Deidara's grandma loved so much, and since she was the one who raised him, Deidara vowed never to cut a stand as long as he lived, the night of her funeral.
A pair of faint blue orbs opened so slowly and looked with tiredness to their right. Sasori tried to muster his best smile ever.
"Hey there, how are you feeling?"
"Wh…what are you doing here?"
"I told you, I'm in the same mess as you. I can't leave you alone even if I wanted to."
Deidara refused to look at the other and had his eyes cast on the ceiling the whole time. "I can't forgive you."
"I didn't ask you for that."
"And I will never accept your feelings."
"And I didn't ask you for that, either."
"Then why are you here? You know perfectly well that I have no desire of ever seeing you again."
"I-"
"Spare me the petty excuses, would you? If you want to leave, Itachi won't forbid you from doing so. That's something I'm sure of."
"I was about to say that I can't. Until I secure your safety, I will not leave your side, even if you hate me with everything you've got. I'll still be here to help you; because I can never forget the time we've spent together."
Deidara felt his body shake; he turned his face to the other side and muttered under hushed breaths. "You're stupid…"
"That, I may be."
The door to the hospital room they were in was opened, revealing a clearly dissatisfied long haired leader with three men following behind him. Itachi looked with disgusted eyes at the bug laying on the bed so comfortably after merely killing his baby brother, oh how much did he just wish to have a knife and no laws to abide by as he stabbed that knife over and over into the bug's pathetic body! He groaned inside his mind, telling his brotherly overprotective-ness to stop as he needed to do this without killing anyone or all the progress he was having with Sasuke would go in vein. And he'll never forgive himself if he lost his baby brother again due to mere bugs that didn't even worth the price of his shoes.
"Sasori, come."
The red haired stood up and followed after his leader; if there was one thing that he'd learnt from his days of serving under Itachi, it was that the master didn't like to repeat himself twice. He watched from the corner of his eyes as the three men tagging behind Itachi stationed themselves on the door forbidden anyone from entering and guarding the blond inside. Sasori wanted to tell them that his best friend was in no condition to walk, let alone flee, but in fear of having his tongue cut off in the presence of his leader, Sasori just walked behind the long haired man with his eyes closed.
They arrived into a room and Itachi made his way inside with Sasori tagging along. The room turned out to be an office and suddenly Sasori remembered that the Uchiha also have some hospitals on their names here and there. He should have expected that they would not allow any outsiders to tend to their own criminals; they were just too possessive like that.
"I'm about to give you the thing you want to most. Your friend's freedom."
Upon hearing those words, Sasori felt his heart shake and he had to make sure, because not every deal with Uchiha's Black Snake was a good one. "What's the price?"
"Having him removed from the family and being disowned with half of his possessions taken."
"He'll never agree to that."
"And I wish he doesn't, either. I want nothing more than to torture him for what's left of his miserable excuse for a life for daring to raise a finger let alone a gun at Sasuke. But since Sasuke seems so fond of you, and I appreciate the years you've spend in aiding me from under, risking yourself, I think you need a treat. And this is as far as I'm willing to bend. He did jeopardize Sasuke's life, but he didn't kill him. So, he can live. But away from the family. This is what I came here to inform you. I will remove every guard watching him from this point on. And you can tell him that he's no longer a part of the family."
"But, master, can't I have more time to let him know? I mean he is still recovering at the moment."
Looking at those brown orbs that served him with the utmost loyalty, Itachi felt that he had to give more than he was compromising with, and Sasori deserved more of him. He nodded, walking towards the door.
"Granted. How many days do you wish to have?"
"Three days would suffice."
"Three days it is. I will leave him in your hands from today on. If he ever does anything stupid like what he has done, I'll hunt him and you down and kill you both! Did I make myself clear?"
Sasori nodded his understanding and bowed to his master as Itachi signalled his guards to return since he was leaving. With determined eyes, Sasori returned to the room Deidara was in. It was going to be a hard fight and Deidara would not be satisfied, but he would have to make him, even if he wounded up chaining him to a fricking wall and letting him live his whole life that way, he'd do it!
"Do I need a lubricant?"
"Yes, I don't want to use oil like last time, it stuck to me and it was hard to take the smell off."
"I think Iruka has some in his closet."
Naruto ran from his room to his father's room, after five minutes, he returned with the lubricant in hand. He handed it to his boyfriend with a smile. "What else do we need?"
"Nothing, just your naked ass and my hard dick." Sasuke smirked. "And the rest will come naturally."
"So, shall we begin?"
Before Naruto's hands could come to circle around the shoulders he loved so much, Sasuke shook his head. "I don't want to do it here. I may still be blind, but Naruto, your tiny bed will forever be imprinted into my memory. We won't be very comfortable for your first time here, and I want your mind to be blown."
Naruto didn't shy away from the passionate kiss his boyfriend seemed to be aiming for, and he moved back with a lick to his lips. He didn't want to admit it, but damn! Sasuke was one sexy son of a bitch! And with every kiss, he would feel himself getting turned on more and more. With a hard push to his sexual drive to the back of his head and calming his teen hormones, Naruto nodded.
"Okay, where do you want us to do it? Your house?"
"No, I have prepared a special room in one of our hotels, remember the last time we went there and how much you enjoyed yourself?"
"Yes. Are we going to the same hotel, yet again?"
"Nah…since it's too far and I'll need to drive,"
Naruto nodded, and crossing his arms, he inquired. "So, this new hotel, is it close? Can we walk to it?"
"No need, a car is coming today just about now to take us there. Tell me, have you told Iruka that you'll be sleeping over?"
"…I didn't know I was sleeping over."
Sasuke rolled his blind orbs at his lover. "Well, you do know now, call him."
Naruto nodded and made his way downstairs to use the landline to phone Kakashi's house instead of using his cell and losing the little credit he has already. But before he could dial the number, the front door sprung open revealing the person he needed to see right about now. Naruto perked and headed towards his guardian.
"Iruka, welcome home!"
"I'm home, Naruto. It's weird to see you back so soon today."
"Well, we had no club activates, and Sasuke and I had some stuff to do at home here so…I came early."
"It's good to see you once in a while."
"Yeah, so, how was Kakashi?"
"He is just fine, the work is killing his though," Iruka made his way to the kitchen after removing his coat and poured himself a glass of water. "Say Naruto, I have something to talk to you about."
The sound of rackets from upstairs had Naruto fly like lightening up and Iruka had to wait for the mumbles to subside and for two teens to come down into his line of vision. He smiled warmly at Sasuke.
"Sasuke-kun, I didn't know you were here. How are you doing?"
"Fine. Thanks for having me here."
"Oh, it's always a pleasure," Upon noticing the bag he was carrying, Iruka asked. "Are you going back right now? Won't you stay some more? For lunch?"
Before Sasuke could respond, Naruto interrupted. "Actually Iruka, I was just about to phone you with something, I'm going to spend the night at Sasuke's. You have nothing against that, right?"
"Well, not really. But is Sasuke's family okay with you intruding?"
"They don't mind," Sasuke voiced his thoughts. "Naruto is always welcomed into my house. In fact, my big brother knows him when he was little."
"Oh, really? And your brother's name is…?"
"It's Itachi, Uchiha Itachi."
Iruka's brows linked together as the name sounded familiar to his ears, he began remembering and… finally it clicked to a certain kid. When he was still a student and working to pay for his university expenses in a restaurant, there was this one time, when Minato was still alive, he came with a child, a beautiful child that Iruka –if not knowing Minato well, would have believed he's abducted him from a TV drama or something, for the kid held a heavenly gorgeous face. In fact, it was the prettiest kid he has ever seen. And sometimes he would tease Minato about not jumping the kid when he slept.
"That's your brother?"
Sasuke nodded figuring that Iruka must've met up with Itachi when he was young and still remembered him. "Yes."
"How is he doing? I had always wanted to know what happened to that kid who had just up and left one day without saying anything. Is he alright now?"
The raven smiled feeling a bit glad that when his brother was little and needed care, he'd found it amongst good people who actually gave a damn about him. He walked with assured steps to where Iruka's voice came from and held out his hands for Iruka to take. The grown up adult did so.
"Thank you. For taking care of my brother and for still asking about him."
Iruka smiled and squeezed softly at the cold hands. "No need to, I didn't do anything actually. If you want to thank someone, you should thank Minato-san; he was the one that cared for Itachi-kun, and gave him everything he needed, be it food, money, affection or just a person to have beside him."
"Minato-san was a really wonderful person."
"That he was."
"I promise you, and him, that I'll take a very good care of Naruto, so please, give him to me!"
Iruka was dumbfounded at the words and he looked with puzzled orbs at the blind teen beside him. "Huh?"
"That's enough already! Let's go, Sasuke!" Naruto started pushing his boyfriend out of the door before he says something he still wasn't prepared to have known to his guardian. "Iruka, see you tomorrow!"
With that the front door was closed, and the hard conclusion poured over Iruka like a mountain of ice. He allowed himself a seat on his couch as a million thought came rushing at his brain, and with an angry set of eyes, he dialed the number of his assumed love.
"What were you thinking telling him that?!"
A furious Naruto said as soon as they came into the room that Sasuke's butler had prepared for them. He was keeping his calm in the car and the whole ride to this room because he didn't wish for outsiders to know about his business. But now, he was sure to give Sasuke a piece of his mind!
"I just didn't want us to have sex with you still having not told your father about us. It didn't feel right to take you when he didn't know."
"Sasuke, it's not like you're marrying me or anything, we are just having sex! You've done it countless of times so how come it's special all of a sudden?!"
At the effect of his own words, Naruto knew that he shouldn't have said that for Sasuke's face drained from all emotions and the lips that were smiling a few seconds ago, turned passive in a second.
"…It's because it's with you that it's special. I'm sorry for being the only one who is excited about it. I can see that you don't think so highly of this at all."
Naruto sighed as his heart started kicking him from the inside for the mess his big mouth has done. "Sasuke, I'm sorry. You know I didn't mean it like this. I was looking forward to this day as much as you did; it's just that I haven't told Iruka, yet. And I didn't want him to find out this way."
"He needs to find out sooner or later, it's better that he at least has an idea about it now, I won't feel right if I was attacking his son after all of the trouble he's done in raising you and what Minato-san has done for Itachi."
"Sasuke…why not just forget about everything, everyone, and just kiss me?"
"That sounds like a pretty good deal to me."
"Good, take it."
"With pleasure."
Before Sasuke could start on a kissing spree, he guided Naruto towards the bed, having already memorized the layout of his room in this hotel, and to his surprise, the scent of flowers filled his nostrils and at the chock that left Naruto's mouth, the bed must've been decorated with beautiful flowers only for them. Yes, he thought it was cheesy, but if it made Naruto happy, he would do cheesy. Getting to the side of the bed, he allowed Naruto to push him on the soft petals-filled mattress.
And their battle of kissing started. Naruto released a moan as his tongue met with Sasuke's outside of their mouths, then it disappeared alongside Sasuke's into the raven's mouth. And Naruto played inside the cave he knew so much until he was happy and satisfied. Sasuke's hands worked on Naruto's shirt, unbuttoning it as Naruto allowed the shirt to slide off of his body and into the floor. Sasuke closed his eyes as his own T-shirt was removed out of his body.
Naruto held a gasp of air when Sasuke's mouth met with his earlobe. He didn't know he was sensitive over there, but apparently Sasuke did. The cold hands that were his beloved's, travelled to his chest to fondle a distant nipple, and it was his first time being touched that way. So, Naruto didn't know if the reason he was feeling it so much was because this was his first time having sex and his body was just playing pranks to prepare him or it was because he was doing it with the person he loved. But having his mind clouded with the sweet scent of roses, Naruto decided to focus on feeling rather than interpreting.
Sasuke bit softly on the back of Naruto's neck and left a nice mark over there indicating his property. His left hand itched to move closer to Naruto's pants and his mouth smirked at the bulge that was waiting for him. Slowly, he unzipped the jeans and waited as Naruto hurriedly got rid of them and stumbled on the floor while doing so.
Sasuke released a laugh. "Rushed, aren't we?"
Naruto blushed and got back on the bed with his underwear still on; after all, he wouldn't take the pleasure from Sasuke to undress him fully. "Just shut up."
The raven allowed himself to be pushed into the bed for the second time and fondled Naruto's hardening cock through the fabric of his boxers, indulging himself in the sweet rhythm that was coming from Naruto's mouth. And Sasuke knew he was drunk on love.
So slowly, he started taking the boxers off, and releasing the hardening cock to the air. Sasuke felt his own cock pounce back to life when Naruto started mimicking his moves and bare him of his jeans and boxers. He smirked. Who knew Naruto had all this sexual drive buried inside his body and was only released with the sweet words of 'I love you'. His boy was maturing into a different, sexy person, and Sasuke couldn't be prouder.
Relaxing back onto the soft sheets, Sasuke's fingers pressed hard on the tip of Naruto's cock, he bit the inside of his gum when the desire to see the face of his lover was too great. If everything was alright with his eyes, and it was truly his subconscious forbidding him to see, and the guilt inside his heart alongside his so called atonement, then Sasuke prayed, for just this once, for this moment, this time, he prayed to whatever god up there that was listening to him, to give him is eyes back. To allow him a chance to see Naruto, to see as his love was filled with pleasure that he was the reason for, to see his reason for being alive.
But sadly, no answer to his prayers was given.
Sensing that Sasuke wasn't focusing like he was a few seconds ago, Naruto took hold of the fingers fondling his cock and brought them so suddenly into his mouth. If Sasuke wasn't able to see him, he was going to stamp the sensations on every little muscle in his body. Until Sasuke started seeing this lovely memory without his eyes.
"N-Naruto!"
Hoping that those shows he saw on how to seduce your partner and inflame him during sex pay of, Naruto took the wet fingers and directed them towards his ass, with desire-filled voice he voiced. "There…stretch me…"
Gulping the rush of blood away, Sasuke started playing with his well-educated fingers around Naruto's ass, rejoicing from the gaps that came out when he inserted his index finger inside Naruto's hot cave. The twitching which progressed as he pushed further inside was a nice indication that Naruto was still not feeling any pain, and a nice relief to Sasuke. His right hand found its way back to Naruto's dick as he felt his own being touched with hot fingers. Sasuke didn't try to hide the moan that broke through his mouth and allowed Naruto to have a little taste of his bed voice. Which proved the be a very excellent move for the member in his right hand began hardening causing sweet salty tears to hit his face from the teen straddling his hips.
"Is it good?"
"Mnn…there, Sasuke. That place…" and a chill ran down the sweaty spine.
Sasuke removed his hands away from Naruto and at the groan of objection, explained. "I need to prepare you right, where is the lubricant that we got from Iruka-san?"
Like lightning, Naruto stumbled through his own lust and the bed sheets to the bag he came with and brought out a strawberry-scented lubricant. He pounced back on the bed, careful not to damage his hard dick and gave the lubricant to his love.
"Here, its strawberry flavoured."
"I will have you forget what flavour it is within the next ten minutes."
Naruto 'eeped' as he was flopped on his back with his legs high up in the air and Sasuke's mouth near his entrance. He flushed like crazy at the exposing position he was put in and tried to hide his privates or at least remove Sasuke's face from his ass, but at the commanding dark blind orbs, he stopped and focused only on feeling.
The sensations that floated through his body and the skilled way Sasuke's tongue was roaming inside his asshole in were driving him crazy. His hands found the sheets as he felt his climax near. It was his first time, and he hated how he was about to gum just from having his ass played with.
"S-Sasuke….stop…I'm about…to c-cum…"
"Den cum…" Sasuke spoke with his mouth still on his lover's ass.
Naruto grabbed his cock hard not wanting to cum just yet, but when Sasuke's hand came to squeeze his balls, his grip escaped from him as ecstasy ruled his body and hot milk spread all over his stomach and face. Naruto's flushed face breathed as its owner pulled Sasuke to his side and gave him a big sloppy kiss, in which he could taste his own essence, but it only helped in igniting his sleepy cock to wake up again. Knowing that the man kissing him hadn't still released, Naruto sneaked a tan hand into Sasuke's dick and started thrusting.
"No…Naruto, if you do that, I'll come." Sasuke said taking the hand away from his hard cock.
Naruto felt a pout take over his face. "But I want you to come!"
"I want to come inside you, I don't want to come this way…so, just wait."
Feeling those pale hands come close to his entrance again had Naruto's blush deepening. He gave a last kiss to Sasuke and gave his love permission to do whatever he wanted. Sasuke poured some of the lubricant onto his hands and started rubbing it against the back entrance. He slickly had two fingers inside and started stretching Naruto enjoying the wonderful sounds that came with every move he made. He paused for a while when he sensed a groan of pain escape Naruto's mouth and Kakashi's words on how it's impossible to have sex for the first time, especially anal-sex, without feeling any pain for the other side, came lightening inside his head.
He frowned his brows and said in an encouraging tone. "Bear with it, Naruto. Soon, you're going to feel good…"
"Hmnm…o-okay…"
When he thought that he was doing enough stretching, Sasuke pressed another finger inside and this time Naruto's mouth released a an obvious yelp of pain, Sasuke quickly started playing with the hardening tan cock and Naruto's balls, in order to detour his attention away from the pain and to focus on pleasure. It took a while for Naruto's breathing to even out and for Sasuke to have free movement inside Naruto's asshole, but he had done it.
And from his knowledge, pushing another finger inside would be a bit impossible for Naruto at this point of time so, hoping that the intrusion of his cock into the other's ass didn't stir too much pain, Sasuke laid back on the bed and traced the tan body until he could locate Naruto's nipples. He started biting and playing with them causing happy, passionate tones to replace those pain-filled ones. His right hand went down to Naruto's thigh – finding out that they were his love's weak points beside his nape, and he traced imaginary circles on it; igniting Naruto to the bursting point.
"S-Sasuke…enough…enter me!"
And how much did Sasuke wish to see the face that was pronouncing those words to him. Closing his eyes hard and focusing all his thoughts on making Naruto feel good, Sasuke adjusted their position and had Naruto sit on his hands and knees for this was the best position, as Kakashi has said, to enter a virgin ass.
Lubricating his crazily hard cock, and hoping that it wouldn't hurt Naruto too much, Sasuke was ready to enter. And so he opened his eyes. And so shockingly, he started shaking at the image that was playing on his supposedly blind orbs. It was a hazy start, and he had to blind a few times to clear the fogginess from his lens away, but when it was done, and he was able to adjust to the dim orange-ish light that was lit around the room. Sasuke was met with the most beautiful view that he'd ever seen in his entire life.
The person he gave his heart to was sprayed on his own bed, with his privates totally open for him to see, and with nicely scented petals hugging his tan skin. Naruto's hands were holding tightly to the sheets and he was totally bracing himself for the penetration. Sasuke's mouth twisted into a loving smile. If he was to die right now, he'd die a happy man.
"Sasuke?" Worried eyes glanced momentarily back at him and Sasuke smiled at his love.
"I'm fine. Don't worry."
With that, Sasuke pushed so softly into the hole. The sensation of the head of his hard penis being squeezed was the best. With his lust under control as not to push too hard and hurt Naruto, Sasuke carefully pushed inside. He watched as silent tears fell so lovingly out of Naruto's orbs and he continued to push further, until finally, having the whole of his penis inside. And he was going nuts with the heat.
"Naruto, you alright?"
"Hmmm…j-just a minute…and then move."
And Sasuke understood the pain the other was trying to handle. It was one thing to read and see videos about other people being penetrate and another to have it done to you. Waiting for the signal to move, Sasuke's hand itched to touch, so he began playing with the hard cock that was dangling before his eyes. He heard moans of pleasure escape Naruto's lips and waited for the nod to come. Finally, Naruto exclaimed in a tone that had Sasuke grip so hard on Naruto's cock, threatening to pull it out of its place.
"Now…!"
Thrusting out and thrusting back in, with heat and inflamed passion between them, the two teens allowed themselves a chance to be lost within ecstasy. Sasuke quickened the pace when he felt Naruto's muscles relax and identify his cock as not being a foreign body that needed to be attacked, then started thrusting hard to mark his existence right inside Naruto's walls.
"S-Sasuke…I'm dying!"
The raven changed their position and had Naruto lay on his back, so, he could come face to face with Naruto beautiful flushed features. And what lovely features he missed to see in his former darkness. He smiled when he figured that so far, Naruto had no idea that he was in fact able to see him, or that he so miraculously had his sight back and was showing him his shameful side. Sasuke smirked, burning that sexy face inside his brain and vowing to never ever have it erased.
Naruto reached his hands up and circled them around Sasuke's neck to draw them closer. The sweat with his cum, mingled between their joint stomachs, and when he felt Sasuke begin to play with his cock once more, he felt close to the finish.
"Mnn….aha…Sasuke…"
"I love you…"
Naruto tried to wipe the tears away from his eyes to have a better look at Sasuke's face. But with the speed he was being fucked with, and the soft sheets beneath them that allowed them to friction without having any of them slide off the bed, had that process fail miserably. He just licked his lips and released in a strangled, heavenly choked voice.
"I…love you, too…"
"Good…hmm…"
They continued wrapped in their little world until they finally reached the exclamation point. There was a place, in which through research, Naruto had identified as his own prostate, and every time Sasuke's stone-hard cock would hit him there, Naruto would go on a small trip to the heavens and back. He bit his lips when the accumulation of those thrust was too great for his virgin ass to take and against his will, his body started telling him how close he was to releasing his load.
"Sasu…hnn…ahhh…I'm cumming!"
"Me, too…ah...!"
Naruto was the first to spurt his semen and Sasuke wasn't too fast into exiting Naruto's asshole to free himself, for his white sticky semen was spurted inside Naruto's entrance, filling him to the rim. The exhausted raven flopped on his tan lover in a way that would not suffocate the shorter teen, but would also allow him a close proximity to kiss freely. And he smiled as the musky odour circulated the air around them, reminding them of the dirty act they'd just committed.
"Naruto…stay with me 'till the day I die."
The blond smiled as his lower half went into sleep at being forced to cum twice in one day, and beaming sweetly, he removed sweat-filled, dark locks away from Sasuke's face.
"Is that a proposal, Uchiha?"
"Yes…"
Naruto laughed and gave a chaste kiss to the raven, "Alright then, I guess someone needs to care for your royal ass. And since everyone is scared of you, I will take it upon my tired shoulders to do so."
Sasuke answered the chaste kiss with a deep one of his own, and rolled them on the dirty sheets, with the sound of laughter flowing between them. Feeling genuinely happy that he'd finally achieved what he'd wanted. And got to mark the little fox as his and his only, Sasuke allowed the sound sleep to cover them as he whispered the lovely surprise about his eyes to Naruto and watched his beloved's eyes widen with happiness.
Sasori opened the shower water on the blond that refused to leave his spot and so angrily stripped him off of his clothes. Sure, Deidara had struggled and gave him the worst treatment ever, but he'd had enough! Since the day he brought him back to his own apartment and told him about the decision Itachi-sama has made concerning him, Deidara was acting like a soulless vessel, and a living dead. He refused to eat, drink, talk and would just lock himself in the room Sasori had made for him, sulking his life away. By now, the redhead was losing his patience, so, he broke the lock and dragged a complaining Deidara to the bathroom to start the first step into rehabilitating a dead. Cleaning him.
"I swear Deidara, if you don't straighten up this moment and start on showering right, I'll clean you off myself!"
Ignoring the man beside him, Deidara only clung to his bare chest as the warm water poured over him.
"That's it!"
Again, he was dragged into the bathtub and his naked body was thrown in there. Rolling his sleeves up, Sasori brought a brush and started scrubbing at the reluctant blond's body. Once more, he was met with resistance, but persistence was always a winner; for Deidara's strength had failed him. He surrendered to Sasori's touches, and was cleaned like a baby, from head to toe, even his private parts were scrubbed, and with a passive face. Sasori brought a towel and wrapped it around the clean man. The blond locks that he adored so much were cleaned as well with a special shampoo that Sasori has picked up especially for Deidara, with honey and cherry scent.
Clean as brand new silverware, Deidara was forced to sit on the floor as Sasori air-dried his hair. It felt nice to have a person do stuff for him for once. But Deidara's heart was still scared, and he couldn't bring himself to do it, to forgive a traitor that betrayed him and even helped into taking him out of the family that he loved so much. He was nothing and, without his family, he was merely Deidara. Who exactly was Deidara? What was Deidara to do? Deidara was a nobody, a piece of shit, a bug, a maggot. A nothing.
"Kill me…please."
Sasori stopped drying the hair as the faint whisper reached his ears passing so softly over the noise from the hairdryer. He pulled the soft looks up and tied Deidara's hair into a high ponytail, making sure no locks stray from the back and aid into hiding the lovely features like their owner preferred they do.
"Deidara, if you seriously don't want your body, or your soul, why not giving them to me? I would very much wish to have them."
Deidara turned his head since his protection was taken away from him and pulled the towel covering his body close to it. "There is no need for you to want them, to want me. I'm nothing. You shouldn't dirty yourself more. Kill me and relieve both of us."
"If I killed you, I would kill myself after you."
"No, you wouldn't."
Sasori took one pale hand and brought it close to his heart. "What can I do? Tell me, how can I make you believe how much you worth to me? If you think of yourself as nothing more than dirt, then what would I be? The one that worships you, what will I be? Am I beneath the dirt?"
Deidara tried to remove his hand because the faint heartbeats under were making him uncomfortable and burning a strange sensation inside his heart, but he failed miserably due to his weak condition.
"Let go."
"Not until you say okay to my request. Give yourself to me if you don't want it."
Deidara stopped his struggling and gave up as a faint whisper escaped his dry lips. "…I don't know…"
And Sasori allowed himself a small smile. "Then stay here with me until you know. You can take as long as you need to stand up on your two feet. And you can go outside, but make sure you come straight here."
"I thought I ceased to be a prisoner."
"You're not a prisoner, consider this your house. Where will you return to if not your house?"
"This is not my house. My house is on the estate!"
"You're disowned, it's about time you come in terms with this and learn to let go of something you can't have."
"I'll learn that when you learn how to let go of me."
Sasori released a small smile at the words and stood making his way towards his tiny kitchen to prepare something for Deidara to digest seeing as how he was returning to his old nature little by little.
"Hn."
"This is extremely stupid, Naruto." An annoyed looking Sasuke released within clenched teeth.
"Yes, for once, I agree with him." Backed up Sakura.
The blond just rolled his eyes at his love and his best friend and pointed an accusing finger to the pink haired. "Sakura! Wasn't it you who said you'll put in effort to try and concede with Sasuke?"
Sakura puffed her cheeks turning the other way and whispered. "Yeah…but-"
"No buts! And you, Sasuke, didn't you tell me earlier that you wanted to try and get along well with Sakura and forget all about this stupid jealousy you're having!?"
"I deny every syllable in that whole sentence."
"Sasuke!" The blue-eyed teen warned, "Stop acting like a child! Man up to what you've said."
Crossing both his arms at his chest, the raven looked at the love of his life with the intent to kill flaming in his eyes. "Hn."
Naruto sighed and sat back down on the cozy little table that he worked so hard to secure – with forcing Iruka to contact an old boyfriend which didn't make Kakashi too excited about the idea. But it was all because he wanted his two friends to get along together, for all the hardships and the awfulness including Sasuke's stupid jealousy to evaporate. And therefore, being able to hold a conversation with one without having the other mad at him for something.
"Alright, listen here you two, I'm sick and tired of this! If I hang out with one of you and neglect the other, the one I'm neglecting will be mad at me. And I'm very exhausted with apologizing each and every time I do something like this! So, whatever unfinished business you two may have, you better work them out now! Or keep me out of your fucking business!"
Naruto waited for one of them to open his or her mouth, but when neither did and only the happy laughs from the customers sitting on nearby tables reached his ears, Naruto stood up and swung his backpack over his shoulder.
"Seeing as how stubborn you two wish to be, I'm declaring from now on two things. A, I will not be talking to either of you 'till you start working this one out, and B, which is for you Sasuke, no SEX, again, 'till you make up with Sakura, and now, I'll leave you to yourselves. And don't you dare follow me Uchiha or I swear the only thing you'll be touching for the upcoming three months, will be my fists!"
Sasuke frowned at the words being spoken to him and his eyes glared daggers at the love of his life, as he watched his stroll outside full of anger. He sighed and picked up himself wanting to leave.
"Where the hell do you think you're going?"
"None of your business."
"Oh yes mister, it is one of my business! Even if you don't care if you talk to him or get a piece of his ass, I do, for the first part at least. So, like it or not, I'm going to do my part into trying to work this thing out, because as much as I dislike you, I love Naruto, and the last thing I'll want to do is lose him because of you."
The fire inside her eyes had him rethink the words Naruto had just blubbered out and believing that maybe the love of his life wasn't just releasing empty threads, like he normally did.
"I'll sit if you promise me one thing,"
"What, Ass?"
"I want you to never, ever, think of Naruto as a love interest. And it has nothing to do with me trusting him. This is a pact between you and I. If you wished to ever be on my good side and for us to at least act like we're civilized human beings before him, you will agree."
"Hm. I never thought of him that way. Naruto is like my brother, besides, he is younger than me by two months. I'll never fall in love with a younger dude."
"Promise me."
Sakura rolled her eyes at the prick in front of her, and having only the best interest of Naruto inside her mind, she released sincere words.
"I promise. Now, sit."
And smiling to her for the first time in his life with no malice, Sasuke took his seat and waited for the girl that he still thought of as annoying as hell, to blubber about the one hundred reasons why she didn't fancy him. And he put up with it, for the sake of those lovely azure orbs, which would surely cry if he didn't.
Itachi removed a lock of hair away from his red pupils and watched with calm eyes the headstone that shone to him in bright day light. His dead heart released a gush of blood that he failed to identify. Was he still, after all of these years, hoping for something? Didn't he vow to never feel again after that phone call telling him that the nice guy that took care of him had perished in a fire? Was his heart finally reacting to an old friend? An old love? Was he turning human again?
He used his genius head for answers, but he could only guess on the foreign gush of blood. His cold fingers traced the faint writing, yes; it was indeed the grave of Minato. And the small, tiny hope that he'd had that Minato was still alive somewhere in this vast world was crushed so outrageously. His mouth released a smile and he nodded for the guards beside him to give him some space.
Putting aside his position and titles and returning to the humble being he used to be, Itachi sat on the green grass and opened his lips, releasing a strained voice. "Hello, old friend. It's been a long time. I'm doing well, as you've wanted me to do all of these years. I see the time hasn't been as nice to you as it was to me."
The wind was his only witness and Itachi loved the privacy. He swallowed the lump in his throat as the memories that were helping him build himself from the sewers Danzo has so shamefully driven him into, came to form at the front of his head.
"I had made a vow to myself, to come see you as soon as I had the chance, but I had failed myself in that notion. I, so disgracefully, admit that I have been afraid. Not of you, but of myself, of the weak being I'll turn into if I were to ever see you again. But those are all mere excuses. I should have come before that unfortunate accident happens to you. I will never forgive myself for that."
A chirping bird started conversing with his fellow bird, and their melody played to assure Itachi that all was still well with the world, that even though he was feeling so much guilt and sorrow, the world was turning and nothing has changed. And in a twisted way, it comforted him to a degree.
"I know you only viewed me as a child in need and thus had helped me, but to me, you were something more. And I still admit that those feelings I failed to convey to you are weighing on my heart. I wish I had told you about them, then maybe something might have changed. But being the coward I was, I was too weak and of no value to be able to hold your pains and steady you, so I couldn't tell you of the silly emotions flowing through my veins. But now, I have grown up from those absurd thoughts and 'm able to retain myself and compose these emotions to be hidden quite well. Until the day we meet again, I bide you farewell my sorrowful love."
Standing up straight, Itachi pulled the ribbon that his hair was tied with and tied it around the headstone. Watching as it proudly swayed with the wind, he said. "I had bought this with the money I'd earned from the first part time job that you'd introduced me to. I'd meant to give it to you, but…" recalling back on that night that he was so happily running to give the man he adored a gift saying 'thank you' for all the things he'd done for him, and so shockingly finding him weeping whilst looking at his dead wife's picture had Itachi leave his sentence without a finish and simply smile as a goodbye to the grave.
"I'll come back again."
The three guards that have left their master came back surrounding him again. Itachi sent a farewell glance to the grave and walked into the car. Already thinking it was best that he didn't come with the blond, because he couldn't think he'd be able to stay composed if Naruto started telling him how he thinks he'll be extremely well fitted with his father, or how in fact, his father had spared a thought or two for Itachi's sake when he was gone.
He knew the limit to his self-control, and it didn't stretch that far.
So, with a tug to his silky, black hair that was spread all over his lean back now, Itachi slid inside his car and signalled his driver to start on taking him back home. Memories locked safely and returned to the back of his head, where they slept peacefully until the next time their master decided he needed to reminisce on the sweet past for a minute or two.
Naruto wiped the drool that escaped his lips rendering him exposed to those sexy orbs that were so full of ego at the moment. He blushed when Sasuke licked his lips and swayed over to him in that sexy suite that just made all the blood rush down to Naruto's lower half, and with graceful, well-educated fingers, the tie around his neck was tightened as Sasuke refused to give his lover the satisfaction of a kiss and left him hanging in thin air.
Naruto frustrated, watched the playful smirk plaster all over Sasuke pink lips, he licked his own anticipating that moment when they would meet Sasuke's. As Sasuke started moving away without giving the blond any form of indication that he was going to do any further touching besides the tying, Naruto pulled the suit-clothed pale forearm and yanked Sasuke close.
"Sasuke…" He breathed as his lips were only inches away from Sasuke's, "you're killing me!"
"Hmm…who was it that said I should be keeping myself away from his ass if I didn't make up with his best friend?" Sasuke had the reply ready.
Naruto winced at the remark that he knew would surely come to haunt him soon, and started explaining as best as he could with the pushing self that he'd recently discovered as a part of his personality.
"I wanted you two to get along, and Sakura says you've worked out everything out together…so."
"So?" Sasuke's smirk only widened at the flushed face, that seemed to get redder each passing minute, if he'd known that Naruto's sexual drive was ignited with a mere suit, he'd have worn it from day one.
Looking away from those questioning, urging, and burning black eyes, Naruto forced his lust to subside and his self-control and reason to kick back in.
"So...oh, Sasuke! Do you want me to spell it out for you?!"
"You want me to fuck you?" Sasuke released in a hot, hoarse tone that sent chills down Naruto's spine, and before his lovely blond hair nods a firm yes, Sasuke removed the tan hand so smoothly away from his forearm and whispered. "No can do, babe. You'll have to deal with that bulge down there on your own because I have a book signing to go to."
And a chuckling Sasuke left a very unsatisfied Naruto sitting with a dumbfounded look on his angelic features.
It was another fifteen minutes 'till a clean and refreshed looking Naruto was out from the royal bathroom that was on Sasuke's house. He fixed his suit firmly and walked with a pout meeting a very amused raven. Sulking at being stood up in such a condition, Naruto strolled directly into the car ignoring the small laugh that broke out of his love's mouth as he passed him to the car.
"Naruto."
"Shut up, go die, I don't ever want to talk to you!"
Sasuke rolled his eyes at the drama king sitting a few inches away from him. Actually, he would've loved nothing more than to actually fuck Naruto, no, not just fuck, stir, mix, and mingle his sperms inside Naruto's hot ass' walls. Just the mere thought of Naruto panting under him in ecstasy would have him orgasming, but he couldn't do this to Naruto's father, Iruka. They had to attend this special occasion, because as far as he learned from Kakashi, the brown haired man had everything figured out – surprising Sasuke that there was actually a person with Naruto that didn't get infected with his love's stupidity-genes, and if he needed the total approval of Iruka, he'd have to prove to him that he was worthy of his son. And Sasuke's competitive spirit would prefer to die over losing this challenge!
Therefore, he couldn't afford being late on this special occasion, that will surely score him points in the older male's hoop.
"Naru-chan."
"Stop calling me that! I hate it! And don't talk to me!"
Sighing at the hard-headed teen that refused to see how hard Sasuke was trying to secure their relationship, the raven inched closer, after raising the dark glass to separate himself and Naruto from the chuffer responsible for delivering them safely to the event.
"I love you."
Naruto ignored his stupid heart that acutely so stupidly, without pride or any sense of self-centeredness flittered to Sasuke's words. Proving how Sasuke got his stupid heart shackled to his every command. Naruto puffed his cheeks and turned the other way, wishing his own stupid heart to cease existing.
"I love you…"
Hating himself for doing it, Naruto's blue orbs momentarily glanced at the man calling them, and it was a fatal mistake, for his heart exploded with love and pumped it into his circulation clouding his judgment with the sweet drowning that Sakura had talked about how nice it was.
"Come to me."
Tan hands obeyed as Sasuke's pale ones brought them closer and small kisses were given to their back. Naruto felt himself flush lightly and, with his heart in his throat, he watched sexy-Sasuke play his magic on him, and allowed himself the chance to dim the world and focus only on the tiger that was about to pounce at his lips in any minute now; Naruto closed his eyes.
It was sweet. Sweet, delicious passion, blended with frenzied desire. Sasuke grinned when the kissing lessons he tried so hard to imprint on Naruto had finally bore him fruit. He relaxed into the seat and allowed the light tan body to cradle his hips. Being careful as not to rub any unwanted areas and cause erection to either of them, leading to car-sex, he adjusted Naruto's position.
The chuffer ignored the moans and groans coming from the back and played some music as to distract himself and maintain a professional exterior. Taking three turns to shorten the distance and spare himself the traffic, he proudly and happily exclaimed, interrupting the two's joy.
"Master, we've arrived!" Having no response to his sentence, the chuffer took hold of the car-microphone and repeated his words through it, hoping for the two teens to awake from their little melody-land, "Sirs, we've arrived."
Sasuke removed the hazy looking blond away from his lips and sighed in relief when their clothes weren't awfully rattled. No erections were present either. Naruto on the other hand had to take a few more minutes to switch back to reality and remember where he currently was. Wincing that his sex drive had only chose to elevate at his guardian's important date, he knew that he'd have to start teaching his lower half before he forces Sasuke to take him regardless of where they were. For the last thing he needed right now was a teenage-scandal.
They exited the grand limousine and Naruto had to brace himself at the crowed of people crowding the fancy hall. With a big, fat, happy grin plastered all over his mouth, he walked with confidence into the hall with Sasuke following right behind him.
Kakashi flipped the fried salmon on the fryer and grinned at the steam that evolved. He instructed a distracted looking Naruto to focus on the tomatoes he was cutting before he starts cutting his own fingers. Naruto only sighed in answer.
"What the hell are they still talking about?!"
"Your sex-life, of course."
"Kakashi!"
"What do you want me to say? Iruka obviously only wants to make sure that Sasuke's feelings towards you are genuine. He doesn't want you to get hurt."
"I know, but…didn't he tell you anything? Is he okay about me dating a guy?"
"Well," Putting the done fish on a plate with tissues in it to absorb the oil, Kakashi replied. "Not really, he was pissed that you've started dating without telling him first."
"So…he didn't tell you if he objected on the fact that the one I'm dating is a guy? Or that he started blaming himself that he was a bad influence on me? Or is he thinking about committing suicide for it?"
"Easy, easy, imagination-boy. Iruka is alright; he was just, like I said earlier, angry. No self-loathing, no suicidal thinking, nothing. So, relax. But yes, I do think a part of him is blaming himself that he'd turned out to be a bad effect on you. But, I, myself don't see a problem with it. You have a brain inside your skull, you are able to think and choose your own happiness, and if it was in you being with a guy, so be it."
Naruto released a truly gratified smile. "Thank you."
"There's no need, I said what I think. Now, go set the table once you finish with the tomatoes, because with the speed we're going with, it will not be dinner, but early breakfast."
Nodding with a smile, the tan fingers started on cutting. The book signing was a complete success; it provided Naruto a chance to see what his guardian's work was, and the book that was produced was one of Iruka's best. Seeing all of those people coming to see the author and ask for his signature whilst talking about how wonderful the book was, made Naruto more proud of his father than he already was. They had decided after the book signing was over and some pictures have been taken that it would be best to end this nice night with a homemade dinner, Kakashi's idea. And it provided the best chance for Iruka to have a proper conversation with this raven that took his son's heart and mind.
Naruto arranged the tomatoes he'd cut with the rest of the vegetables and with sesame oil on a plate and went to set the table for four. Feeling happiness wash over him that finally everything was working alright. The door to Iruka's study cracked open and a tired looking brunette exited followed by a smiling raven.
"Naruto, is dinner set, yet?"
"Almost, Kakashi is doing the final touches on the plates."
Iruka nodded and patted his son on the head as he passed him to the kitchen to see his boyfriend and what type of disaster his kitchen was turned into.
As soon as Iruka was out of hearing reach, Naruto pounced on the raven demanding answers. "So? What did he say? Does he approve? Did he attack you? No, Iruka wouldn't do that…but, did he say we should break up?"
"For a start, just calm down. He didn't attack me, nor did he ask that we break up. In fact, he was very understanding. He told me about the hardships that we will be facing and about if I was prepared for this or not. Actually, he was more concerned than anything else. And I liked that…it felt like…" Sasuke smiled softly. "Like family."
Naruto's eyes softened and he gave him boyfriend a tight hug. "We are family, Sasuke. And we'll continue 'till you get sick of me!"
"I'll never get sick of you. I'm very possessive, and once I like something, I never get tired of it."
"Well, that's nice to hear. Since I don't tend to let go easily, either."
"Yeah, tell me about it. I still remember how you decided to sneak into my room and rape me that other night."
Naruto pulled out of the hug with a small flush on his face. He hit the raven briefly as his hands continued setting up the table. "Hey! I didn't want to rape you! I wanted to nock some sense into you."
"With the way you were jumping me, you could've fooled me."
"A-Anyway, go see if Kakashi was finished with the dishes, I'm starving!"
With a smile that had signalled Sasuke's soul being peaceful at last, the raven left to the kitchen to check on the disastrous food they were going to devour. And the dark, empty, hollow future, that he'd imagined himself leading, exploded into a sun-filled, joy accompanied, ecstatic heaven that he found himself wanting to reach.
Finally.
