Sasukec: I worked my ass off in this one! I kind of hated myself for making so many things happen in one setting, but I think it's a pretty good effect and well… I won't spoil anything for anyone ;)

Hope you enjoy the COMPLETED and ANTICIPATED chapter 8! :D Jetlag sucks ;)

8 AM. Right on the clock. Sasuke Uchiha checked his watch again and another minute flew by. He expected their chaperones to at least be here by now. Mr. Umino and Ms. Anko were nowhere in sight. All the brunette could see were business people and travelers alike passing by in a hurry. The Uchiha shivered a bit.

Damn morning air. It's cold, I'm tired, and I just want to get on with this.

Sasuke crossed his arms as he waited another five minutes before spotting both of the chaperones approaching from the parking lot.

About damn time…

Once Ms. Anko saw Sasuke, she smiled and said, "Well you're certainly on time, aren't you Sasuke?"

"Uh, yeah."

"Sorry we're late," Mr. Umino said frantically. "Traffic got backed up and we were barely able to get out of it."

"It's fine."

Ms. Anko suggested they wait inside and Mr. Umino agreed, telling them he'd wait outside to greet the other students coming on the trip. Sasuke felt slightly better once they were inside. The heater made him feel less… Grouchy. Ms. Anko then suggested they wait on a line of chairs nearby.

After they sat, Sasuke asked, "How many are going on this trip, Ms. Anko?"

Ms. Anko thought for a moment before happily replying, "About 10 different students including yourself."

"Are we getting our own rooms?"

Ms. Anko shook her head, "Sorry, Sasuke. You're going to be paired up with someone and you'll share a room. I don't know who you'll be paired with, Mr. Umino has the list. But he'll be sure to let you and everyone else know before we get on the plane."

Sasuke let a small smile make its way onto his face, "Thanks, Ms. Anko."

"Anytime Sasuke."

Sasuke was glad he was waiting with Ms. Anko rather than Mr. Umino. He'd feel so much more awkward with Mr. Umino. For one, Ms. Anko was his teacher and he felt at ease talking with her because their relationship was like mother and son. She treated him nicely and respectably, so she was one of the people in his life that he could tolerate and actually loved to be around.

Fifteen minutes of comfortable silence passed and Mr. Umino walked in with several other students carrying their luggage. Like Ms. Anko said, it looked to be around ten of them. All of which, he recognized. Shino, Shikamaru, Hinata, Sakura, Naruto… Naruto. Yup, blonde standing in the crowd amidst the other students… Going on a trip to Italy…The SAME exact trip Sasuke was taking to get away from the blonde. Oh life, pity this poor Uchiha.

Naruto? Dammit! What are the odds?

Ms. Anko signaled for Sasuke to get up and join the rest of the group as they shuffled toward some currently unknown gate. The Uchiha didn't look back at the blonde the whole time.

I can't drop out of this now… I paid for this trip with my own money! I'm not going to waste it. Just ignore him and he'll ignore me… Hopefully.

Sasuke's plan to ignore Naruto worked perfectly for the Uchiha. Even through the annoying wait for security to check every cavity of their bodies for any suspicion of a bomb, Sasuke ignored the blonde. For a moment even, he almost completely forgot about Naruto until they were in line about to hand their tickets in to board the plane. Mr. Umino stopped the line from moving, slightly perturbing other passengers that were stuck behind the students and yelled out, "We'll make this quick! I'm going to read who's partnered with whom! You'll be sitting with this person on the plane to get to know them better if you already don't, and also the one you'll be rooming with when we get to the hotel! Alright, Shino and Shikamaru, Ino and Sakura, Neji and Lee, Hinata and TenTen, and lastly, Naruto and Kiba!"

After Mr. Umino stopped calling out names, everyone looked around at one another, including Sasuke. The Uchiha realized that his name wasn't called and he was slightly confused. Then he realized that he must get his own room! Until…

"Kiba's not here!"

Mr. Umino blinked, looked down at his roster, then looked back up.

"Then it'll be… Naruto and Sasuke! Alright, let's go everyone!"

A silence fell upon the group after Mr. Umino said the last pair of roommates. Everyone knew the story of Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha. They knew the story of Naruto plus Sasuke equals Trench Warfare. Sasuke didn't want to be a whiner, but he felt like it was hard enough having to try and ignore the blonde… But they're roommates? Again? All that ran through Sasuke's head while they walked toward the plane was…

What… The… Fuck…

Sasuke then remembered that not only were they roommates… Again… They had to sit next to each other on a plane for 18 straight hours. Sasuke hoped that things would go better than they had in the past week, in the next 18 hours. Not that it was off to a good start already…

Hour One

Sasuke and all the other students boarded the plane with ease, and they all found their seats in a matter of minutes. Luckily, for the Uchiha, he was able to find an empty pair of seats and grab the window seat first. If he were forced to sit with the blonde, at least he'd have a window to look out of for distraction. Even though all he were going to see was water, clouds, and air, it seemed much more appealing than trying to be civil with Naruto.

The Uchiha pulled the strap of his navy blue carry-on bag over his head then brought the bag up and into the overhead compartment. The Uchiha silently amused himself with thoughts of the blonde not being able to fit his carry-on bag in the overhead storage and being forced to hold his belongings in his lap. Considering it was an 18-hour trip, it would be pretty damn amusing to see how uncomfortable Naruto would be with his bag.

Sasuke's thoughts of amusement suddenly escaped him as he saw Naruto approaching behind a few other students, looking around as he did so. Once Naruto spotted the Uchiha, Sasuke could tell he tensed right at the sight of those coal black eyes. The pale boy knew they were both thinking the same thing: this trip could not be any better. Sarcasm was all the rage this year.

Naruto finally shuffled his way over to Sasuke and easily put his red carry-on backpack into the overhead compartment. The Uchiha's mood slightly dampened once the blonde sat down, empty handed.

They spoke not a word to each other, even through the taxi ride and take off. The Uchiha could only hope that the silence between them would be permanent.

Hour Two

Naruto knew the Uchiha wanted the whole ride to be quiet. But, the silence between them was killing Naruto. He didn't want to keep this up for 18 hours. He was as sure of that as Sasuke must have been getting tired of seeing the ocean below them. Not even once had the Uchiha neither looked away from the window nor had he once said a word to the blonde. Naruto didn't blame Sasuke entirely for not wanting to say anything; it was too awkward. Especially after their lovely recent past encounters. Quite frankly, Naruto still felt bad for spilling his dinner all over Sasuke. The blonde could vividly remember a nightmare that consisted of Sasuke shaped food coming to kill Naruto. It wasn't a pleasant experience before breakfast.

Naruto didn't want to start a conversation, but he knew if he didn't, there'd never be one between them. Then again…

"Hey, Sasuke."

The Uchiha didn't look away from the window and Naruto thought he might have not heard him.

"Hey… Sasuke!"

He spoke a little louder than before. Sasuke didn't move again and now he realized that he was just ignoring him. The blonde sighed and stopped bullshitting himself and Sasuke.

"Okay, look Sasuke. I know you can hear me. I'm tired of this 5 year old stuff. Could we just get over what happened and move on…? We're stuck together, obviously, so we've got to get along, whether we like it or not. We're much older than what we were, and so we should try to be mature about this. We can't ignore each other for the entire week!"

Sasuke looked over at the blonde with a blank, neutral look – the first neutral look he'd seen out of the Uchiha in a very long time. Sasuke's coal black eyes looked at him for only a moment more before Sasuke replied, "Whatever." Then returned his gaze to the endless blue below.

Is he serious…?

"Is that supposed to make me mad?"

Sasuke replied this time without adverting his gaze from the window.

"Am I supposed to care?"

He's so impossible! Last I checked, he was older than me!

The blonde sighed, frustrated, and crossed his arms. He stared down the back of the seat in front of him.

I can officially declare Uchihas to be an emotional bag of joy.

Hour Three

A sudden weight on the Uchiha's shoulder finally made him look away from the ever-so-interesting window to see Naruto had fallen asleep and was using Sasuke as his personal pillow. A small snore emanated from the blonde's throat as Sasuke tried to push the blonde off. Sasuke's efforts were in vain as the blonde persisted, even in his sleep, that Sasuke's shoulder was a great pillow. The Uchiha tried talking to him.

"Naruto! Get off me! Find your own damn pillow."

The Uchiha struggled more against Naruto's persistence. All Naruto was giving were groans and sounds of discomfort. In one big push effort, Naruto pushed himself against Sasuke even more, and put his arms out and onto Sasuke's crotch. The Uchiha looked down with his face completely beat red and, with as much muscle as he could, pushed the blonde off of him.

Finally, the blonde seemed satisfied as he leaned to the other side and continued to sleep. The Uchiha could feel an erection beginning to creep up on him. He quickly put his hands in his lap and he could still feel the heat all over his face.

This is the second time he's done anything sexual to me without knowing it… Dammit, if I ever have to tell him… Dear God, please kill me.

As the blonde happily slept, a stewardess was right by Sasuke and Naruto, so the Uchiha asked her for a blanket. Luckily, she already had one with her.

"Of course, here you are, sir."

She handed him the red blanket with a wide, happy smile.

"Thanks." Sasuke replied as he set the blanket on his lap.

"You're very welcome! Please enjoy the rest of your flight."

Her perky voice only made Sasuke wish this plane were the target of a terrorist.

Hour Six

Sasuke's erection had long since gone down, but he still couldn't get the thoughts away from his head. His imagination was becoming overly active and it wouldn't be long until another erection decided to show up.

You know you want him Sasuke… You love him!

NO! No, no, and no! I know that I've already gotten over that.

Really then? What was with the rise you got out of an innocent sleeping accident?

It's only natural!

The Uchiha looked back over to the still sleeping blonde who was still none the wiser of how much he had aroused Sasuke. The in-flight movie had already begun, – Pirates of the Caribbean – but Sasuke couldn't care less. Besides, the Uchiha was having a mental fight with himself and trying to fight off a side of himself that was currently trying to coax him into admitting something that he'd locked away for good.

What about when you slept with Ino? He was all throughout your thoughts when it should have been her.

Shut the hell up!

Come on, Sasuke. Just look at him, vulnerable.

The Uchiha could feel blood rushing up to his face again as he saw Naruto's calm face, but he was able to will it down.

So what do you want me to do? Rape him?

Of course not!

Okay, genius, guide me!

Smart boy!

The Uchiha noticed that he was staring at Naruto's sleeping face the whole time he was having a mental break down. Once Sasuke looked away, he realized that Naruto was beginning to finally wake up.

Close your eyes!

Why?

Trust me.

Sasuke closed his eyes, obeying his alter ego's command.

This is so stupid, why am I doing this again?

Because you're eager to see what I have planned!

No I'm-

Pretend to be asleep.

Still almost mindlessly obeying his alter ego, he inhaled deeply to create the effect that he was asleep. The Uchiha could feel Naruto stretch beside him as he began to wake up more.

What's the point of this?

You'll see. Now, slowly as if you're really asleep, lean on Naruto's shoulder.

Hell no!

Just the thought of being in physical contact with Naruto made the Uchiha squirm.

What do you have to lose?

My dignity.

Screw dignity! You know you like this plan.

Never in a million years.

He leaned on you… So now it's your turn! Everyone is focused on the movie, so lean!

Sasuke was locked in thought over this ridiculous suggestion by… Himself. He felt like these past six hours were the worst, and even better, they weren't even halfway through the plane ride.

I can't!

Why not? You're "asleep" and people understand that. Besides, like I said, the only one who'd know about it would be Naruto.

Sasuke's alter ego kept trying his best to persuade Sasuke into probably making the dumbest mistake he could on this trip.

…I guess it wouldn't hurt to try…

See? If he tries to make you move, just move!

Giving in, the Uchiha slowly moved his body toward the blonde and began to lean toward his shoulder and… He was still moving. Then he realized that he didn't feel Naruto's presence anymore. Sasuke sat up quickly and saw that Naruto had gotten up during Sasuke's mental argument. Sasuke looked around to see if anyone had seen the Uchiha leaning into an empty seat. Luckily, he saw no eyes on him.

Dammit, I knew that was a stupid idea! That figures…

The Uchiha sighed and looked up to the in-flight movie screen to see Jack Sparrow making his escape from a group of pirates. This will be the day that Sasuke will always remember as the day his dignity had been saved by Captain Jack Sparrow.

Hour Six

"This will be the day that you will always remember as the day you almost caught… Captain Jack Sparrow!"

The throaty cry from the in-flight movie woke a certain blonde from his peaceful slumber. His eyes slowly opened to see Johnny Depp fleeing from a group of pirates. The blonde yawned, then looked over to Sasuke and half expected to see the asshole still staring out the window. To his surprise, he saw the brunette with his eyes closed and his head leaning on the back of his seat.

Wow… He's not a vampire after all.

The blonde stretched and let another yawn escape his lips. He looked around for a slight moment, and then he felt a sudden filling of his bladder. It hit him like a brick wall; he was amazed that his bladder hadn't burst yet. Naruto looked up and down the isle to see everyone was currently seated and no one was in the isle. Feeling as though his bladder might seriously burst, he got up, leaving the sleeping Uchiha, and headed toward the restroom.

On his way to the restroom, the plane hit slight turbulence, enough to knock the blonde to the ground and irritating his bladder even more.

"Dammit!"

His curse hissed through his teeth, but it seemed as though no one had noticed. The blonde luckily made it to the claustrophobic restroom without anymore trouble.

Ah… Much better… Naruto thought to himself as he closed the small compartment-like door behind him. He took a deep breath and scanned all the seats, stopping his scanning at his seat. The blonde then noticed that the other seat was empty. Sasuke's was empty.

I thought he was asleep? Maybe I woke him up.

Naruto started to make his way back to his seat when all of a sudden, Sasuke's head popped back into his seat… From apparently leaning in Naruto's seat. The blonde stopped and continued to stare at the back of Sasuke's head with a puzzled look on his face.

The hell…?

Naruto walked back to his seat and sat down. He looked over to Sasuke who had resumed his observation of the ocean out the window. At this rate, the blonde wondered if he would have withdrawals from that window when they landed.

"Sasuke." It came out more of a statement, than anything. The blonde wasn't going to wait for the Uchiha to reply.

"Why were you leaning into my seat?"

The brunette didn't move or speak, as Naruto expected. Naruto restated himself.

"Why… Were you leaning-"

Sasuke looked at Naruto finally.

"I have no clue what it is you're blathering on about. And I, quite frankly, don't care."

Naruto gave Sasuke a puzzled look as though he'd just witnessed a puppy being kicked. Hell, at least that's the way the blonde felt. That's the way he always felt around Sasuke. Like a beaten puppy.

"Sasuke, come on! Could we start over? Would it kill your pride, dignity, or whatever?"

"You'd be surprised."

"Okay, now you're just mocking me."

The Uchiha smirked. "Mock you? Perish the thought."

Naruto gave him a "you asshole" look before sighing, frustrated again. "You're such a miserable dick."

Hour Ten

Sasuke and Naruto hadn't really spoken another word to each other since their conversation 4 hours ago. Ever since the brunette brought out his book and began reading. Naruto tried to start a conversation, but almost got mauled by the Uchiha for the sake of a "good, quiet read". Although, Sasuke wasn't necessarily reading…

'We need to get across this bridge! But to lower it, the lever is-'

Why won't you give him a chance?

'We need to get across this bridge! But to lower it, the lever is-'

You know that you want to talk to him. Like friends. Like you had before she showed up.

'We need to get across this bridge! But to lower it, the lever is-'

Naruto makes such a grand point.

WOULD YOU SHUT THE HELL UP? I can't take your episodes! I keep reading the damn line over and over again!

Don't blame me, you're the one who won't cooperate.

Speak for yourself.

You mean ourselves?

This is insane, I'm not participating in this idiocy!

Taking a break from his mental discussion, he looked up to see the blonde beside him listening to his iTouch.

"YES!"

Rather, playing a game on his iTouch. Sasuke fought back a chuckle and instead rolled his eyes. He then returned his eyes to his book, trying to continue his reading.

'We need to get across this bridge! But to lower it, the lever is-'

You held that chuckle back!

Wow, really? I wonder if there're any good psychiatric hospitals in Italy.

You know you loved that.

Oh, look at that. A cloud just went by.

You're resisting!

I'm ignoring!

Ignore this!

What?

The blonde's moan was like a kitten's purr, asking for more.

NO.

Sasuke's alter ego was beginning to send images. Images that the Uchiha wanted to keep away. Images that no matter how hard he tried would not stay away.

Once the soft covers of the bed were beneath them, Sasuke removed the blonde's shirt and tossed it aside like an unwanted rag. Lucky for Sasuke, this was the only piece of clothing left on his irresistible body. The Uchiha couldn't contain himself and decided the very taste of Naruto would somehow bring him closer to cumming. Right now, the blonde was Sasuke's personal boy toy; a personal pleasure that the Uchiha wanted, inch for inch.

Sasuke could feel the blonde's chest heave up and down as he licked and sucked at various parts of his bare, sun-kissed chest. Areas where the brunette sucked were likely to leave hickeys, at the very least and on each nipple Sasuke stopped at, a pleading moan ensued.

The Uchiha loved the very taste of his blonde as he finally began to make his way toward his waistline. He teased Naruto by nibbling along his waistline in which the blonde replied by putting his hand on the brunette's head and pushing him down to where Sasuke was face to face with the blonde's erection. The Uchiha then responded by instantly putting the erection in his mouth and deepthroating as much as he could. In addition, he sucked as hard as he could and could already taste the sweetly sour precum in his mouth. His sucking-

NO! PLEASE STOP!

Oh! He said please!

The Uchiha finally snapped out of his seemingly inescapable mind. He also realized that he'd been breathing hard and he felt a certain happiness about him… And that Naruto was staring at him. The Uchiha's lungs froze over.

Bomb?

Hour Ten

I know I have it… Ah!

Naruto pulled his beloved iTouch out of his pocket and put in his four-digit password.

You have your book, I have my iTouch… Nyah, nyah, nyah! Look at me, I'm Sasuke. I have a stick shoved up my ass and you can actually hear me chewing on it.

The blonde mocked Sasuke in his head as he began playing a game of Peggle on his iTouch.

I'm such a tight ass! I hate life! Ugh… Just making fun of him annoys me.

"YES!" The blonde almost jumped out of his seat as he beat the level he'd been stumped on for a long time. He happily continued to the next level, disturbing a few of the passengers around him and making him forget about Sasuke.

Naruto was completely engrossed in his game now, that he almost didn't notice the Uchiha's breath speeding up next to him. He paused his current game to look over at the brunette who had a deep red face and his eyes drilled deep into his book. The breathing did not slow down nor did his pants get any looser. The blonde was really interested now as to what kind of book the Uchiha was reading.

What the?

Then, a second later, the breathing stopped altogether as Sasuke's beat red face stared back at the blonde's.

"Uh… Sasuke… What's up… With uh…"

The blonde quickly moved his eyes down to Sasuke's tight pants then back to his scarlet face.

"What book is that?"

The blonde asked truly curious, yet disturbed all the same. Sasuke offered no answer and instead closed his book and set it on his lap. And, like anyone could have guessed, looked back to the ocean below.

"Hm… I highly doubt your studying to be an oceanographer."

Sasuke, once again, said nothing. This was getting old.

"What's up with you, Sasuke? …Sasuke!"

The blonde put his hand on Sasuke's shoulder and shook him lightly. His hand was quickly slapped away, however, by Sasuke's hand. The brunette's face miraculously became its usual pale again as he looked at Naruto now.

"Nothing, Uzumaki. Just leave me alone, for the rest of the trip. That way, everything will be fine, dandy, and great. For BOTH of us."

The Uchiha's words were made out to be sharp blades, but they lost their effect with Sasuke's straight, almost solemn face. It was as if Sasuke didn't want to say any of that.

After Sasuke turned his head back to the window, the blonde looked up at the roof above his seat. Why, oh why did they have to play the game of 18 hours of shit in the plane?

Sasukec: Welp… There it is! :D Chap 8 is finally done and I hope you enjoyed! :D

I'm gonna start on chap 9 like… Tomorrow (July 3rd), so expect it coming your way soon! Love ya'll :)
