Chapter 13

The loud music was overwhelming him and the two men stepped through the hazy entrance, the volume incessantly pounding into Naruto's chest as he allowed Sasuke to remove his jacket and woollen hat to give to the coat man who huddled beside the rows of garments inside a wardrobe. Sasuke pulled Naruto with him and pressed him softly down on a chair by the bar. Naruto was wearing baggy and well used jeans that hung low on his hips and a black, loose cardigan over an orange t-shirt. Sasuke took in his appearance and vey much appreciate the fact that there sometimes was a sliver of skin visible between the jeans and t-shirt when Naruto moved. Sasuke waved and drew the bartender's attention and Naruto ordered a beer while Sasuke got a glass of rum.

"How in the world can you drink that?" Naruto scrunched up his nose. Sasuke lifted one eyebrow.

"Are you weak with alcohol?"

Naruto pouted "Maybe" he replied and tried to drink some more of his beer, but as usual it was hard to swallow.

"So how drunk do I have to get you to dance with me?" Sasuke nodded to the dance floor.

"I like dancing" Naruto smiled, "but if it's like that, I'll have to be wasted." Naruto looked at two guys almost glued together, grinding and moving against each other.

"That can be arranged."

Naruto softly smacked the back of Sasuke's head and rolled his eyes. They sat for a while in silence and just drank their drinks. Clubs weren't really places where you could talk and Naruto had a suspicion that that was one of the reasons Sasuke liked it here. Naruto was beginning to regret going. He knew this could easily blur some boundaries, he liked Sasuke or maybe not liked, but he found him interesting and was slightly attracted to him. He thought back to the kiss from earlier… maybe slightly was an understatement. Naruto had kissed him out of nowhere, so his body was pretty sure what it wanted, it was just his brain that knew better. He sighed and Sasuke frowned at him.

"I'll just go the bathroom, I'll be back."

Naruto quickly got up and out of Sasuke's reach. He mentally slapped himself for using this stupid excuse, bathrooms weren't a good place for him. It was a room associated with anxiousness and being uncomfortable. He just hoped there would be stalls in the bathroom or else it would be really awkward for him. He had tried several times to walk in to a bathroom just to go again since he couldn't really just pee in a urinal. His heart was beating faster and faster the closer he got and he was dreading going in. He always had difficulties walking into bathrooms. He couldn't use the ones for females, it just felt wrong and felt like he didn't belong at all. He also felt weird going into the male's bathrooms. He was always so scared to be confronted. He was sure that one day someone would see through him and notice he didn't fit in. He didn't want to be rejected and ridiculed. He placed his hand on the handle and took a deep breath before he opened the door. The bathroom was almost empty except for the couple in the corner making out. He quickly went into one of the open stalls.

Sasuke looked towards the bathroom feeling a little worried. It hadn't taken that long, but images from what happened to Naruto last time haunted his mind. He had already gotten up and was on his way when he saw Naruto walking back again. He breathed out in relief and sat down again. Naruto seemed a bit off... like he was on edge. Sasuke studied him closely, but Naruto's whole demeanour brightened when his eyes met Sasuke's.

"I'm back again." He grinned down at Sasuke and sat down. Sasuke ordered a drink and pushed it in front of Naruto when it was done. Naruto frowned and tilted his head. He looked from the colourful drink in the fancy glass and up to Sasuke.

"What is this?"

"A drink for you."

"A drink?"

"Yeah. It's something liquid you swallow to lessen your thirst" Sasuke teased.

"I know that" Naruto said irritated "but I had a beer, I don't need this... girly drink" Naruto pushed the drink away.

"I know, but I can also see through this act. You hate the taste of the beer and you have been looking longingly after all the "girly" drinks, as you put it."

Naruto fiddled with the hem of his shirt, his heart was beating faster again. He had no idea why he was suddenly this nervous just because of the drinks. He knew that just because he had a pink or purple drink didn't mean people would think he was a girl too. He had just tried to stay away from everything that could make people wonder just to be on the safe side and now it was so engraved in him that he had a hard time not thinking he couldn't do certain things. Sasuke was confused by Naruto's reaction. He knew he wanted the drink but didn't know why it was such a problem for him.

"It's not like I think you're any less of a man just because you don't like beer."

Naruto looked up at him with... Sasuke couldn't really decipher the emotion, but it was obviously that he was more relaxed now. It was obvious that Naruto looked a little feminine, so it could simply be because he had been bullied with being girly when he was younger. It sounded like a good reason, but he had to ask him about that another time, when they were in a more private setting.

Sasuke froze. Had he just planned to be more around Naruto and even talking about private things, this was getting out of hand. Sasuke gulped down his drink and Naruto hesitantly took a sip of his. The little sip was quickly followed by many larger ones and soon he had finished it.

"What? It tasted really good." Naruto said as he saw Sasuke looking at him weirdly.

"I guess a thank you would be appropriate here." Sasuke smirked, feeling a bit proud to figure Naruto out like this.

"Thank you."

Sasuke pushed five shots towards Naruto, "who gets finished first?"

The challenge hung in the air before they both swallowed the shots as fast as possible. Naruto felt the room spin as he slammed the last little glass onto the counter. Sasuke slid down his chair and took Naruto's hand. They slowly went to the dance floor and began dancing, swaying their bodies along to the constant thrumming of the dance beats. Sasuke started off with a little space between them, but knew that would soon be gone if he had a say here. The music, the alcohol and the few touches from Naruto was making him feeling really intoxicated and light-headed. He grabbed Naruto's hips and pulled him closer. Naruto had had his back against him, and was now leaning back onto Sasuke's chest. Sasuke's hands moved under Naruto's shirt and touched the soft skin underneath. Naruto's breathing hitched and he rested his head against Sasuke's shoulder. Sasuke turned his head and kissed Naruto's jaw and nipped at the skin. Naruto swayed his hips and brushed against Sasuke slowly growing erection. He couldn't help but grip tighten onto Naruto's hips and grind against that perfectly shaped ass. Naruto moaned and tilted his head so Sasuke could kiss him, which he gladly did. The kiss quickly turned sloppy from the many drinks and Naruto soon pulled away to breath.

Naruto could feel something slightly hard pushing against his ass and had a pretty good idea what it was. He also knew he didn't really have a problem with it, or actually, he liked it. He tentatively pushed back against Sasuke and felt the moan tremble through Sasuke's chest. Naruto squirmed in his hold and turned around to face Sasuke. He wrapped his arms around Sasuke's neck and kissed him again. Sasuke tugged at Naruto's lower lip with his teeth before pushing his tongue into his mouth. He licked the roof of his mouth and felt the moan from Naruto vibrate through him. Sasuke couldn't remember he had ever been this turned on by a person before, he just had to feel him around him soon. He slowly began pulling Naruto towards the bathroom as they kissed.

Naruto slowly woke up from his lust filled thoughts as he felt the cold bathroom tiles against his back. He couldn't let this get any further for many different reasons. He pushed against Sasuke's chest and heard an irritated growl slip out of Sasuke.

"We can't do this." Naruto mumbled softly.

"And why is that? You seem pretty willing." Sasuke was not stopping now.

"This isn't me... I don't.. This thing.. Having casual sex with someone isn't something I do. It's only something I want to do with someone I date you know. Not just someone I just met." Naruto felt his heart pounding restlessly and wondered if it was this intense feeling or the booze that made him stumble on his words.

"Weren't we friends?" Sasuke tried to convince him somehow.

"Yeah, and friends don't… do things like this."

Sasuke tried to come up with something, anything, but his drunken brain was having a hard time.

"So, let's date then." Sasuke heard someone say.

"What?" Naruto almost yelled and starred at him with an open mouth. Sasuke guessed it must have been himself that had suggested that since there was no one else in the bathroom. He tried to gather his thoughts.

"I like you, you interest me and I'm pretty sure you like me" Sasuke shrugged. Naruto still couldn't believe what was happening. Sasuke mentally patted himself on the back. He had to pretend to date him for a while, but Naruto seemed like the more innocent type, so he would probably never allow them to have sex unless they were boyfriends anyway. "So what do you think?"

Dum, dum, dum, dum... So what do you guys think will happen now? Will Naruto say yes or no and do Sasuke really know what he is getting into?
