Sasukec: Well, my wonderful readers, we're finally here. This chapter will mark the end of Do Ut Des. I've made it awesomely long due to that fact that this chapter decides it all for the couple. I hope you enjoy the very last chapter of Do Ut Des: The Solitary Bliss Sequel!
"Okay! One, two, three… Seven… Ten! Ready or not, here I come!"
A small, blonde headed boy, none other than Naruto Uzumaki, opened his eyes to see the group of kids that was once before him now gone, most likely still already running to their hiding spots. Naruto always thought he was the clever one for skipping numbers and believed that he was the only one who thought of it. He somewhat couldn't believe no one else would have thought to do the trick. He didn't consider it cheating, more of a tactic than anything else. The eight-year-old boy smiled devilishly and ran off to inspect the places he figured the other kids would hide first.
He found one hiding in the top of the playground's biggest slide, another in a nearby bush, and another behind the jungle gym. Things were going so well for the young blonde, that he felt he should keep checking obvious spots. The next spot he checked, which seemed the most obvious, was the fort house on top of the biggest toy in the park. Naruto climbed up the multiple steps and crossed the monkey bars before finally arriving at its entrance. He couldn't hear any noise inside, which made perfect sense. He timed himself, hoping to give the kids inside a good scare while he was at it.
On three… One… Two…
"Found you!"
The kids – or rather kid – he found inside was one he'd never seen before. He had a small face, surprisingly angular for a child, with dark black hair and coal eyes. His black hair was neat and tidy, unlike that of Naruto's own hair. His hair was that of a child that didn't play much, even though his body was slim and fit. His skin was extremely pale and he looked as though he'd never been outside for an extended period of time.
The boy in question looked up from a book he was reading and gave Naruto a funny look. Naruto could've sworn that he wasn't in the group of kids from earlier. Maybe he wasn't, but the main thing on Naruto's mind was just how big the book was that he was reading. He didn't look to be much older than Naruto was, yet he was reading a book that looked as though it belonged to an adult. The young blonde was amazed!
"Why are you reading?" Naruto asked, genuinely confused why someone would want to read.
The pale boy raised an eyebrow as he replied, "Because I like reading."
"Wow, that's weird! Don't you want to play hide and seek with us?"
"Reading isn't weird…" The brunette stood up, closing his book and putting it in his small messenger bag as he did so. He continued as he walked past the blonde, "I also happen to like reading. It can actually make you smarter."
"Reading is boring!"
Naruto began to follow him as he walked toward the slide to the right of the fort house. The blonde didn't know why this boy intrigued him so much when he just now met him. He'd never met someone at his age that actually liked to read.
"So what's your name?" Naruto said as they both reached the entrance of the green slide.
The pale boy stopped and turned to look at Naruto once again.
"Why?" With that, the unknown boy jumped into the slide before sliding down it. Naruto wasn't too far behind him before he caught back up to the boy as he was walking off.
"I'm just curious, that's all." The blonde admitted truthfully.
The other boy just kept walking along in silence until he reached the fence that surrounded the park. He put his hand on the chain-linked gate before turning around, "My name's Sasuke."
"Sasuke, huh? Oh! You're that new kid in town, right? My name's Naruto! Why don't you stay around here and play with us!"
Sasuke gave it a considering pause, but continued out the gate, shutting it as soon as he was out of it.
"No, thanks. Maybe another day, Naruto."
The blonde watched as the brunette boy walked down the dirt-covered road, his hands in his white shorts pockets. Naruto couldn't understand why he asked the boy his name or even took any interest in trying to find out. He was just a random new kid in town. With a small shrug, Naruto went off to find the rest of the hiding kids.
Sasuke looked up to the night sky, seeing the moon shining its brightest in weeks. He hated that he'd been forced to move to this new town. He didn't like that his father got a new job as the police force captain and had to be stationed in the town of Konoha.
At least the sky is still the same.
Luckily, Sasuke had found himself a nice spot by a large pond where he could sit and watch the clear night sky. Being the kid he was, he enjoyed the quiet. He mostly blamed it on his parents' lack of attention to the young Uchiha. His father worked nearly all day, his mother was always busy with household tasks, and his older brother, Itachi, was always either out doing something or locked up in his room studying. Sasuke had grown accustomed to the way his family lived. Solitude had become one of his best friends that he felt may have always been there so long as he lived with his family.
The small Uchiha sat up, and yawned. Sasuke could feel it was getting late and that he'd better get home before his mother began to worry. He hadn't told anyone about this spot, not even his family, as if they would have asked him about it anyway. He picked up his messenger bag that was lying in the grass beside him and put it over his shoulder before going on his way.
I wonder if that Naruto kid goes to the same school as me. He looked like he may be the same age. He kind of looked annoying, too…
Sasuke laughed very lightly to himself as he continued down the dimly lit roads of Konoha. He took the only route he knew to get home. The streets were quite deserted, only a few cars passed him from time to time. Maybe it was later than he'd thought. Sasuke began to pick up his pace a bit before he heard a fire truck siren approaching behind him. He stopped for a moment, watching the truck pass him in a hurry before making a sharp right turn down into what Sasuke recognized as his neighborhood.
Did someone's house catch on fire?
The young Uchiha started into a small run and took the next right just as the fire truck had. He could see the fire truck just up ahead, its lights and sirens still blazing, but no longer moving forward. It was then that Sasuke realized two things. The fire truck had stopped and was currently trying to douse his house from the giant flame that currently completely engulfed it.
Coming to the reality of what was happening before his eyes, he stood frozen across the street from his flaming home. His home that he hoped to whatever God there was out there that his family was not inside the burning house. However, his hopes were wasted. Over the roar of the fire, he could hear a high-pitched scream of pain.
"Mother!" Sasuke yelled back as he ran toward the giant fire.
He could feel the flames stinging his face, the heat searing away the tears that now ran down his face. He had no other thought on his mind than racing to save his mother. She was in there, burning to death, and Sasuke couldn't get past the arms that were now restraining him. He felt useless as he watched not only his house burn down, but knowingly so with his family inside.
"Please!" Sasuke pleaded. "Please! Save them!"
The young Uchiha found himself pleading with a firefighter who still held him from rushing into the burning house. All the while, he could hear his mother's screams as they finally died down under the roar of the flames.
"Mother!"
Sasuke's loud screams and crying slowly died down to a sob as the firefighter picked Sasuke up and carried him away with words of comfort that mattered nothing to Sasuke. He was in such shock of the situation, that it took him a few more minutes to realize that he'd been screaming for his mother and father as the tears continued to roll down his face.
They're gone…! They're gone…! They… Mother, father…! Itachi…!
Sasuke's frantic thoughts continued through most of the time it had taken to put the fire out. Before long, he felt someone approach him as he was sitting in the firetruck's passenger seat, his body curled in on itself, his face buried into his arms that rest on his knees as if it could make the reality of what had just happened go away.
"Sasuke…" A gentle voice spoke, one that he recognized and eagerly welcomed. He looked up to confirm that it was indeed his older brother, Itachi, with red stained eyes. The younger Uchiha lunged himself at his older brother, crying loudly into his bigger brother's shoulder.
"They're gone, brother! Mother, father! They're-!"
"Shh… Everything's going to be okay, Sasuke."
Although steady, Sasuke could hear the uncertainty in his voice. As Sasuke's cries began to die down to mere sobs again, he looked up from his older brother's shoulder to see a few men bringing a couple of covered gurneys into a black car. He watched as they began to put one of the gurneys into the car and, as if time itself slowed down, he saw a charred hand fall out from the white sheets. His eyes widened, and in that suspended time, he fully understood that his parents were gone forever.
"Alright! See you guys tomorrow!"
Naruto had finished his game of hide and seek with himself coming out as top champion. He felt it was a pretty good day and decided that it was finally late enough to go home. Although, he knew he could stay out as late as he wanted. He lived on his own as an orphan in an abandoned house. He admitted that it was tough not having anyone to care for him, but he made it through all right. He even made it to school every day.
The blonde looked up to the sky to see it was a clear, full mooned night. He liked the night time, despite how quiet it was at night. He liked loud, busy things, but it didn't mean that he hated quiet things. And speaking of loud busy things, he noticed a firetruck stopped in front of what looked like a burning house.
Woah! A house is on fire!
He quickly ran up to the house that was currently being sprayed with water, and next his attention was pulled to a yell.
"Mother!"
Naruto's blue eyes spotted the kid he'd seen earlier. Sasuke was crying and running toward the house before a man in a firefighter uniform stopped him and carried him off, the boy's screams continuing to echo through the neighborhood.
I guess I'd better take a different way…
What Naruto had just seen disturbed him inside. He would never actually admit to that, but he knew that it was something that he hadn't needed to see. Sasuke seemed to know for certain that his mother was in there. Naruto pondered just how he knew if that was true or not. However, Naruto had a gut feeling that his scream wasn't for nothing and that, more often than not, that kind of dedication to try to run into a burning building usually meant… Naruto didn't want to think about it anymore. It wasn't his life, he shouldn't worry about it.
Sucks for Sasuke. I've been alone since I could remember.
"Sasuke! Can you hear me?"
Naruto found the runaway Sasuke in a nearby alley, unconscious and bearing a busted lip and many bruises among other things. Although it was lightly raining still, in the dull Roman lights, the blonde could see some dark stains that were on Sasuke's shirt. It wasn't long before Naruto realized that Sasuke was bleeding.
Feeling more urgency than ever, Naruto brought out his cell phone and flipped it open.
Dammit! What's the number for 911 in Rome? What was it! 118? No…! 113!
The blonde quickly dialed the three digit number, and hurriedly explained to the one who answered the call. Moments later, he hung up, and tried to wake Sasuke.
"Sasuke! Sasuke… Please tell me you can hear me!"
The Uchiha gave no response, not even in body language. Naruto knew he was out cold and probably couldn't hear a thing. Naruto felt helpless as he knew he would have to wait for emergency crews to get to where he was at. He picked up Sasuke into his arms and sat against the wall just where the Uchiha had been. The blonde held him tightly, afraid that if he let go, he might lose Sasuke forever.
"Sasuke… Stay here while I go to talk with someone. Okay?"
The young Uchiha slowly nodded, his eyes still stinging of tears. Sasuke could still smell the burnt and charred remains of his house as he sat in the back of a police vehicle. Itachi had gone some distance away from Sasuke, enough so that he was out of ear shot, to speak with a man in a suit that Sasuke didn't quite recognize. He wondered what was to happen now that he had no house. He didn't know where he was going to live or sleep at now.
They just can't be gone like that… Can they?
Sasuke's thoughts were interrupted by Itachi returning to the young Uchiha and picking him up. Sasuke allowed himself to be picked up by his older brother, still curious about what was to happen now.
"I can care for him, Mr. Tate. Please, I love him and he's the only thing I have left now."
Sasuke looked to the man Itachi referred to as Mr. Tate. He now recognized the man since he was closer to him. Mr. Tate was his father's partner in the police force.
"Do you have a job, young man? Something you could support yourselves with?" Mr. Tate asked, sounding nearly as stressed as Sasuke felt.
"No, sir… I… I don't…"
"Since your father was my partner and a good friend to me… I will offer you a position within my force. You will be allowed to keep your brother under your care, so long as the DHS will be able to make regular check ups on you."
Itachi seemed surprised, "Th-thank you, Mr. Tate! Thank you so much."
Mr. Tate solemnly nodded, "Take care of yourself. And your brother. My condolences are with you both."
After Mr. Tate had walked off, Itachi hugged Sasuke tightly.
"Don't you worry, Sasuke. We're going to be okay. You just let me worry about everything, okay?"
Sasuke hugged his brother back tightly before speaking, "Okay, Itachi… I will…"
I don't… Remember… Naruto… Itachi?
"Sasuke! You're going to be okay. I promise it!"
Naruto? What? I don't… Cold… It's… Really cold here.
Pain seared through Sasuke's body all at once as everything came rushing back to consciousness. The Uchiha's eyes flew open to see a white ceiling above him and a clear rhythm of beeps occurring next to him. Sasuke looked toward the sound of the beeps to see a heart monitor and a sleeping Naruto in an obviously uncomfortable chair.
If this isn't a repeat, I don't know what is…
Sasuke tried to remember what happened, when suddenly, the hospital door opened. Sasuke realized that it was his older brother, Itachi.
Itachi's here? In Italy?
Sasuke didn't want to deal with his brother right now, so he pretended to still be asleep. Despite the pain he felt all over his body, he was able to focus on what was happening beyond his closed eyes through his ears.
"Naruto…" Itachi said as his footsteps grew closer. "Naruto, wake up."
Next, Sasuke heard a loud thud and skittering feet as Naruto spoke, "Stay away from me!"
"Naruto, I'm hurt. I came here to see my little brother in the hospital. I didn't know that you'd be here…"
"Seriously, Itachi. You'd better stay away from me. I'm not playing nice this time around."
Next, Sasuke heard another thud, similar to the one that had just happened a moment ago, before Itachi spoke once more, "How long has he been out for?"
"Just a couple days. He lost a lot of blood."
"I see…"
A couple days? Lost blood? Wow, they must have messed me up more than I thought.
Silence ensued for a few minutes nearly tempting Sasuke to open his eyes. However, Naruto spoke with a tone of annoyance.
"Itachi, seriously. I'm still not exactly happy with what happened."
So something did happen between them!
"Oh, Naruto you know that you liked it." Itachi probed, seemingly trying to get Naruto to admit something.
"You're really sick, Itachi. Were you honest when I talked to you a couple nights ago? Did you say something to him that made him leave the hotel?" The blonde said harshly and accusingly.
"Well, I told him about us."
Us…?
A snort was heard before the blonde said, "Us? There is no us. There never was. It was just you, being selfish and getting what you wanted from me! I went on this trip just so I could get away from you!"
A moment of silence continued before the sounds of commotion and struggle began. Sasuke could tell something was going on between the two, but he wouldn't be able to tell unless he opened his eyes. He didn't want that.
"Did you tell anyone?" Itachi demanded, now angry for reasons unknown to Sasuke.
"G-Get off me!" Naruto strained out of his throat.
"Answer the damn question!"
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Naruto replied, resistance crawling throughout the sentence.
What are they talking about…? What have you hid from me, Naruto?
Sasuke could then hear more silent struggling continue for only what seemed like a moment more before Naruto moaned very lightly.
What the hell?
Sasuke opened his eyes to see Itachi pressing his body roughly up against the blonde's own body as Itachi held Naruto's hands locked above his own head against the wall. Worst sight of it all that burned the back of Sasuke's throat with anger was that Itachi had his mouth against Naruto's. Sasuke's eyes widened as he saw Naruto trying to fight back, giving his all to get the older Uchiha off of him. He was able to, to some extent, but he needed help.
"Itachi."
As Sasuke uttered Itachi's name, the older Uchiha stopped what he was doing immediately and turned to face Sasuke. Sasuke then painfully struggled to sit up before giving Itachi a death glare.
"Get off of him. And get out. Now."
Itachi looked back to Naruto then back to his little brother before turning sharply and exiting the room. After the door closed behind Itachi, Naruto looked over to Sasuke with eyes wide and a simply surprised expression.
"Sasuke… You're finally awake. You shouldn't be sitting-"
"I'm fine, Naruto." Sasuke interrupted pointedly.
The blonde flinched at Sasuke's words, obviously not expecting them to be so harsh. Sasuke noticed this and tried to make his next words not so hard.
"What happened?"
"How much did you hear?" Naruto asked back, making his way slowly to the chair he was originally in.
"All of it." The Uchiha said point blank.
"Oh… Oh, boy… I guess I owe you this."
Naruto explained what had happened after that day at Applebee's. How what had happened between them in that restaurant had cost him his job and, ultimately, his little encounter with Itachi. He explained why he'd gone on the trip other than for school purposes and why he'd tried to make amends with Sasuke in the first place. Sasuke listened patiently, seeing things that he hadn't before. Seeing things that were once before too dark to understand clearly but now made complete sense. The Uchiha nearly felt bad for being pretty much the sole reason he'd made Naruto lose his job. Not to mention feeling embarrassed about his older brother.
"I guess that's basically it…" Naruto said finally, "I guess I probably should have told you that from the beginning."
The Uchiha waved his hand in a brushing off motion, "The important thing is I know now."
"Good… Now, time for you to explain things. Why'd you leave the hotel in the middle of the freaking night?"
Sasuke sighed. He knew this was coming and it was inevitable. He'd might as well explain his theory now.
"I got a call from Itachi, as you apparently know, telling me to tell you that you left your work clothes in his car. I then immediately started assuming something was happening between you two because he kept on about how you two got to know each other better and… I wasn't thinking clearly."
The Uchiha looked down at the white bed sheets that lay over him. He now realized just how stupid that decision was. He didn't even know where he was going to go. Sasuke's thoughts were interrupted by a pair of arms that were suddenly around him.
"Please don't scare me like that ever again, Sasuke… Please just ask me next time… You know how much of an idiot I am. I usually can't take a hint very well."
The Uchiha was surprised by the sudden affection, but didn't turn it away.
"I'm sorry, Naruto… Like I said, I just jumped to conclusions. I assumed way too quickly."
Sasuke put his hands on one of Naruto's arms that were right in front of him, waiting for a reply from Naruto. The blonde laughed lightly.
"What? What's so funny?"
"You know what they say, Sasuke…" Naruto pulled out of the close embrace, but didn't let go fully. "Assuming makes an ass out of you and me."
The Uchiha smiled and looked to see the blonde had his goofy smile on his face. It wasn't long before Sasuke's lips were around the blonde's own lips in a deep kiss. After all the false alarms, unexplained events, and strange feelings, it all came down to this moment in time when they felt they knew each other more than ever.
Once Sasuke had gotten out of the hospital a few days later, the two teens were sent back to the hotel where they were to pack up their things and leave later that day on a flight back to their home town. Their class had already gone ahead and left a couple days earlier and arrangements had been made at their school regarding extra days missed. The two teens now found themselves already fully packed and waiting for the taxi that would take them to the airport… which was to arrive in two hours' time.
The boys decided to entertain themselves with a little play time. Sasuke found himself on top of his blonde lover kissing those lips on which he loved more each time he tasted them.
"I love you, Naruto…"
"I love you, Sasuke…"
The boys exchanged glances before Sasuke removed both of their shirts. Sasuke then moved back to the blonde's mouth where he once again explored his lover's mouth excitedly. As their tongues massaged one another, the Uchiha let one of his hands wander down the younger boy's body freely, lightly running over both of the hardened nipples he found there. Naruto let out a small moan that only made Sasuke want to hear more of. The Uchiha let his hand continue its path until it finally reached the top of the pants Naruto wore. Sasuke made sure to let his hand dance along his tan waist line smiling as he licked and sucked on Naruto neck.
"Please, Sasuke…" The blonde pleaded, obviously tired of the clothing that obstructed the two from experiencing pleasure. Sasuke played with him a little more, flicking Naruto's earlobe with his tongue a bit before beginning to unbutton Naruto's ever-growing-tight pants.
"I want to please you, Naruto…" Sasuke whispered into the blonde's ear.
Sasuke finally unbuttoned and unzipped Naruto pants before pulling them off completely and tossing them to the side. His boxers soon followed and Sasuke now had a full view of his lover in his most prime and vulnerable moment. The Uchiha wasted no time in putting Naruto's thickly-filled erection into his moist mouth. Naruto let out a sigh of attained pleasure, before he lightly moaned, "Suck me hard…"
The Uchiha obeyed to an extent, taking him into his mouth fully and humming as he did so. The blonde felt pleasure sear through him as he felt the head of his member hit the back of Sasuke's throat time and time again. Sasuke continued to slowly bob his head up and down the full length of Naruto's member, savoring every bit just as a child would their supply of Halloween candy.
Sasuke then changed his pace to slowly sucking each side of Naruto's member before sucking on the swollen head of his erection. Naruto's moans grew with each minute Sasuke continued to suck harder and faster. Sasuke could feel Naruto coming to his climax as he continued to deep throat his member with Naruto's hands entangling within his usually perfect hair.
"Sasuke…! I-!"
The Uchiha quickly took his mouth off of Naruto's member and placed his lips to the blonde's open ones. Sasuke quickly grabbed Naruto's member and began to pump his hand around the erection to left off where his mouth had. The blonde moaned into Sasuke's mouth as he felt the new sensation of Sasuke's hand roughly pumping fast and hard his entire length. Not moments later, Sasuke's hand was covered in the blonde's warm seed. The Uchiha continued to pump in order to help his lover ride out his orgasm. Once Naruto was done, the Uchiha cleaned his hand of the blonde's semen before proceeding to clean Naruto's member and abdomen of all the seed he found there.
Once he finished, he jumped up from the blonde who was still currently trying to recover from his orgasm and got rid of his own pants and boxers, exposing his longing erection. The Uchiha reached over to the glass table where they placed the lube from earlier and began to coat his own member with the juices before coating a few of his fingers with more of it. Sasuke got back onto the bed, this time on his knees, and helped Naruto to spread his legs.
Sasuke looked to Naruto for approval of what he was about to do and Naruto nodded slightly, his breath still a little out of tempo. The Uchiha proceeded to enter one of his fingers into Naruto's asshole, watching the blonde's expression as he did so. Naruto closed his eyes for a moment in pleasure before opening them once more. His glazed over blue eyes held lust, desire, and pleasure that nearly drove Sasuke crazy for more. Sasuke continued to coat the blonde's entrance with his finger before he entered another finger and, shortly after, another finger.
Naruto felt pain mixed with pleasure as he felt his tight hole being stretched and formed in different ways, his moans showing just what he felt. Sasuke continued to probe the blonde's entrance until he deemed it ready for his own member. Using what was left of the lube on his fingers, he put his hand on his own member to help guide it into Naruto's entrance with precision. The Uchiha then shoved his member into the blonde quickly and roughly, releasing the tension that had built up to this moment.
"Move… Please, Sasuke…" Naruto pleaded under heavy breaths.
Sasuke pulled his member out until only the head disappeared within his asshole before he, almost violently, rammed his erection back in. This gave Naruto pain that indiscernibly mixed into pleasure and sent moans flowing from his throat like never before. The Uchiha then began a rhythm that changed between hard and fast to slow and gentle. Sasuke continued to try all kinds of different speeds to both tease and see what he would get out of Naruto.
It seemed that Naruto wanted it hard and fast, any other way was too much for the blonde to stand. So, Sasuke continued to speed up his rough pace, loving the tight feeling of Naruto.
"Faster, Sasuke…!"
The Uchiha sped up his pace, leaning his head onto the blonde's shoulder. Sasuke's breath was now nearly as heavy as Naruto's as he felt his orgasm nearing with each pump. After a few more minutes of hasty pumps, the Uchiha brought Naruto's lips to his own once more.
"I love you, Naruto Uzumaki…"
With that, Sasuke could feel himself cum inside of the blonde with a loud and satisfying moan. Moments later, the blonde came as well with some help from Sasuke's hand once again. Exhausted and satisfied, both boys lay together in their own sweat and cum mixed in unidentifiable ways. The Uchiha moved the blonde's hair out of his forehead and smiled before planting a simple kiss on his lips.
"We should probably get ready to catch that taxi." Naruto said with a smile after he caught his breath.
Sasuke nodded and stood. The Uchiha then thought up a wonderful idea.
"We should probably take a shower, now…"
The blonde got what Sasuke was hinting at as quickly as Sasuke had thought it up. The blonde cheerfully agreed to Sasuke's "proposal" and they went to wash themselves off in the shower.
Naruto and Sasuke had both made it back to their home town without any more problems. Luckily for Naruto, he had the whole trip back to their home town to be able to make up some stuff about his trip to write in his journal so he'd still be able to get credit enough to pass the class.
The teens' relationship made it through the rest of the year and Sasuke was able to graduate at the top of his class and then he continued to wait for Naruto to graduate himself. Once Naruto graduated, they made plans to go to the same college and were both accepted into the University of Konoha. Also, luckily for them, they received the same dorm room and are expecting to become wonderful roommates this time around.
Will their relationship continue to be one of their dreams, or will their relationship hit a few more bumps that could possibly end it? Only time can tell this story.
Sasukec: That's it, my wonderful readers! I left this slightly open on the off chance that if there is enough demand I might possibly make another one. This time, it'd play out in college. Only condition! There must be a demand for it! If no one demands it, or I don't get any great ideas for it, then there will be no more. It's mainly up to all of you, really :)
Anyhow, I want to thank you for going on this long journey with me. It always makes me kind of sad once I finish a story… It's fulfilling and just… Ah, I don't need to be going on haha. I hope you enjoyed a creation of what I love to do: write. Reviews are always awesome and even more fulfilling ;)
