Chapter 15

Sasuke found himself looking around as he headed back home. The nagging feeling was slowly growing and he felt almost responsible for what could happen to Naruto. He had gotten him drunk and let him leave alone. He slowly strayed away from the path back home and walked around aimlessly. He wasn't really thinking about what he was doing. He wasn't thinking "I'll go look for Naruto" in his mind, it was more like he unconsciously just walked here and there while he carelessly looked around him. His body was getting colder, his fingertips and ears had been numb for a long time already. He fumbled with his phone, trying to unlock it and press on the small buttons. His fingers had a hard time doing what he was telling them, but he finally made a sentence and pressed send.

Have you gotten home alright?

Naruto should be home by now, he had already been walking around in the cold for a long time, an hour or so. He waited and as he did a sickening anxiety slowly filled him. Naruto should be home, he had to be and he would answer in a minute. Sasuke kept staring at his phone as his legs moved faster and faster. Naruto couldn't just lie somewhere completely wasted or passed out. But no matter what he told himself he couldn't stop the images of Naruto stumbling around somewhere, or worse, having him passed out in some garden and freezing to death. It could happen, it was extremely cold tonight and he wouldn't be surprised if it began snowing soon. He looked down at his phone, no replies, instead a small drop of water hit the screen. He wiped it away, but then another one hit it, and another and another and soon it was raining pretty fiercely. He groaned loudly.

"Thanks for letting me know it's not cold enough to snow" He hissed at the sky. He just had the worst luck right now. The thought of just going home to get warm crossed his mind, but he began running instead. The faster he found Naruto, the faster he could get home. He wouldn't be able to survive, if he really had fallen asleep somewhere in this rain and it would he his fault. He ran around aimlessly, not knowing in which direction he should go. He looked at his watch, almost two hours since Naruto left the bar. As he was putting it away, he felt it buzz and quickly pulled it back up.

Sorry about before..I'm home now.

Sasuke's body relaxed and relief made him release the breath he apparently had been holding. Sorry, Sasuke frowned. He wasn't completely sure what he was apologizing for, but that didn't matter now.

Where do you live?

The words were written before Sasuke had thought about what he was doing. Was he really trying to go to his house?

Why?

Yeah, why? Why did he want to know? Sasuke decided it was just to get some warm clothes, since Naruto owed him that for making him look for him.

I don't need the precise address.

It wasn't very far, maybe 10 minutes and he already felt better by that knowledge. He could talk him into letting him inside and get something warm to wear, and wait for the rain to stop, and see Naruto again. Sasuke quickly shook his head, no, just to get warm clothes, not because Naruto was there.

Can I come up? I'm in the area and I'm completely drenched?

Suddenly the fast replies stopped, and he was waiting again. He was just about to write to him again, when it started buzzing.

It was just an address but Sasuke knew that meant he was welcome. He hurried over to Naruto, hoping he would get there soon.

He knocked on the door and soon after Naruto opened for him.

"Hey."

"Can I come in, I'm freezing."

"Yeah, of course." Naruto moved aside and closed the door after him. "Take your clothes off and I'll give you something to dry you with."

"Are we that close already?" Sasuke teased, happy to see Naruto blushed from his words.

"I-it wasn't meant like that and you know it." Naruto went to the bathroom and found towels and some clothes.

"Thanks" Sasuke tossed his shirt on the ground and began drying himself before he put on one of Naruto's. Naruto quickly went to the kitchen when Sasuke began unbuttoning his pants.

Sasuke looked around while undressing. He was standing in a small living room, with a couch, a T.V, and a small table at one end and a bed and dresser in the other. There were three doors, the front door, the door to the bathroom and the last door was the one Naruto had disappeared into. Sasuke guessed it was the kitchen, since that was the only other room he could come up with.

"Do you want something to drink or eat?"

"Coffee would be great."

"Alright." Naruto began making the coffee and brought the cup over to the table in the living room when it was done.

"It's a nice place" Sasuke took the cup and sank himself into a grubby looking couch.

"It's alright, a bit small, but better than nothing."

"Are you living alone?"

"Yeah."

Something about the way it was said and his body language made sure Sasuke knew he shouldn't ask further questions about it. A sweet smell made its way to Sasuke's nose and he looked to the side.

"What are you drinking?" He hadn't really noticed that the other cup Naruto had brought with him wasn't coffee before now.

"Cocoa... with marshmallows."

He snickered "You're such a child."

Naruto pouted as Sasuke ruffled his hair.

"What? It taste good."

"You're a weird one."

"I know" Naruto whispered sadly. Now would be a good time to talk to Sasuke. They had to talk about what happened in the bathroom earlier and maybe, depending on how that went, they had one more important subject to talk about too.

"Uhm… about before." Naruto didn't know how he should do this.

"You mean before when I asked you to be my boyfriend, but you just laughed at me and then ran away?" Sasuke replied curtly.

Naruto squirmed in his seat, too embarrassed to look at him "Yeah."

"What about that?"

"Uhm… sorry for, you know, laughing. It's a weird habit I have when I don't know how to react."

Sasuke grabbed his wrist, "then tell me now. Do you want to be my boyfriend?"

Did he? Naruto sighed. He actually did want to say yes, but he knew it would be troublesome. He would have to tell Sasuke about himself. He softly nodded.

"Is that a yes?" Sasuke smirked.

"Yeah, and stop being so smug about it." Naruto grumbled.

Sasuke leaned in to kiss him and Naruto happily met him halfway. Sasuke licked across Naruto's lower lip, nipping at it. Naruto tangled his fingers into Sasuke's hair and pulled him closer.

"You taste sweet." Sasuke mumbled against Naruto's lips.

"It's the cocoa."

"No, I think it's just you."

Naruto couldn't help but smile and parted his lips, so Sasuke could deepen the kiss. Their tongues mingled and Naruto fought hard to dominate it, but quickly lost. Sasuke pulled back and kissed down his neck, nipping and sucking at the flesh.

"I'm right, it's not the cocoa, you taste sweet here too. We'll have to further investigate it."

Naruto felt hands move down his chest and fingers pulling at his shirt.

"Uhm... maybe that could wait till later."

Sasuke noticed how nervous he suddenly had become and pulled away from him. "Alright."

"So, what are you doing next Saturday?"

"Nothing much…"

"Let's go on a date then" Naruto smiled brightly and it took a while for Sasuke's brain to recover enough to understand what was being said.

"Date?" Sasuke frowned.

"Yeah... we're dating now aren't we?" Naruto suddenly became unsure, hadn't he just asked him to be his boyfriend? Was he just lying to him, to make fun of him?

"Oh, yeah. It's fine. Were do you wanna go?" Sasuke had thought that they were boyfriends aka. lovers, which meant someone that had sex together, hopefully a lot of it. He hadn't really thought this whole dating thing through, but he would survive.

"Uhm, we could go to an amusement park?"

"What are you, 5?"

Naruto pouted again and Sasuke couldn't stop himself from leaning close again and suck the bottom lip that was being presented to him, into his mouth. He released it and moved his lips against Naruto's.

"Fine I'll go" Sasuke sighed as he finally pulled away again.

"Yay!" Naruto almost jumped on him and hugged him tightly. Sasuke was very close to pushing him off immediately. He wasn't used to people hugging him. He was mostly just fucking them from behind, or the few times they were pretty enough, they did it face to face. It wasn't like they cuddled or hugged or anything, but it kind of felt nice. He hesitantly put his arms loosely around Naruto and felt him relax against his chest.

It's been a long time since last update, but here it is? Sasuke still thinks he can just easily walk away from Naruto later (but we all know better) and Naruto still has to tell him his secret...
