Lucky you that I didnt feel like sleeping after my meeting even though it's really late and decided to finish up this chapter instead. By the way, I can walk now yay! Well, sort of anyway. Lazing around in bed is only fun for so long after all. It's been a while since I updated (almost) two days in a row... I'm so proud.

Sorry that last chapter was so damn depressing, this one should be nicer. The lemon isn't that long but, finally some Naruto and Sasuke interaction! I hadn't realized how much I missed writing them together in this story...

Oh, and Sasuke is exaggerating a little in the beginning, like Itachi said the company has been pretty much only doing legal stuff for a long time, so not all of the money is drenched in blood heh. Kind of a shocker though, even for me. Haha. I'm surprised every chapter by how this turns out, my plan for this part of the story is sketchy at best so I'm just going with the flow. I know where we're heading though so no worries. Strangely enough not that many chapters left before the sequel... I'm so hyped!

Anyway adgxvnetu is here visiting so now that I can walk again I might get more busy, who knows. I'll try writing more often:) She doesn't mind lazing around in bed all day though so...


Chapter thirty-six: Guide me

'

Back in his apartment Sasuke let out a heavy sigh, and it took him a full minute until he could take off his shoes and coat and walk into the kitchen. He poured himself a glass of water, but couldn't make himself drink it. Putting it down on the counter he looked around the room, trying to make some sense of his chaotic thoughts.

After overhearing Itachi's words he really had gone to the bathroom, and it took at least twenty minutes before his brother came looking for him. They hadn't really talked after that, merely said their goodbyes to Gaara and then driven home. Itachi hadn't said much, and Sasuke even less. He wanted to ask, but he couldn't form the words. How long had Itachi known? How long had he been carrying this burden alone, keeping Sasuke oblivious to the harsh truth?

Do you think I've never been in pain? There are things I'd rather spare you from.

And apparently, even after being promised the truth, Itachi had still kept things from him. He could see why. This pain wasn't a joke. He clutched at his dress shirt, closing his eyes and drawing a ragged breath. Even so, he felt a strange morbid sort of relief. He finally knew, knew about his past, knew about his father. Knew what changed his mother. How twisted his life had been; no wonder he hated it so irrationally after being told over and over again how lucky he was, how great their life was, how thankful he should be to his father.

He wished he could gather all their money in a pile and set fire to it.

Opening his eyes again he swept them across the room a second time. All of this, all his possessions, were they actually bought with money drenched in blood? Was he comfortable while others died? The thought was too painful to comprehend. It made him feel disgusted. Sick.

His phone rang, and he fished it out of his pocket so he could turn it off. He didn't feel like talking to anyone right now.

When the caller turned out to be Karin though he changed his mind. He hadn't spoken to Yukio since yesterday, and he felt a twinge of guilt.

"Hello" he answered, trying to keep his voice level, surprised that it didn't sound as hollow as he felt.

"Dad! It's Yukio! Are you feeling better?"

He smiled at the worry in Yukio's voice. He didn't think he could ever feel down while listening to that voice.

"I'm okay" he answered. "How about you? Did you have fun at school today?"

Yukio made a grimacing sound.

"Kana tricked me into kissing her! It was sooo horrible but Iruka made me apologize for saying she tasted like cooties."

"Sounds like you had a bad day then" Sasuke chuckled, even more surprised to find that he could still produce happy things like that.

"Girls are evil. But we got pancakes for lunch! And mom says we're making her special chicken for dinner so it's not so bad."

"That's nice."

They talked for a few more minutes, but the moment they hung up that hollow feeling swept over Sasuke again. Seems like his son could only fight it off for so long. Turning the sound off he decided to leave his phone on, putting it back in his pocket and drinking some of the water. Morning just couldn't come fast enough.

Sighing and running a hand through his hair he walked to the bedroom instead, stopping to stare at the bed. Just one more night alone. The longer he stared at it though, the less he felt like coming back here after picking Naruto up. Going to work didn't feel like an option either.

He felt bad for leaving Itachi to deal with everything alone, but he felt that he needed some time to let all of this sink in, and he definitely didn't want Naruto to meet Gaara before they'd had a chance to talk things through. Getting an idea he walked over to a chest of drawers, and after digging around for a few seconds he found the keys he was looking for. Now he just needed to make a phone call.

~Line breaker~

At six am sharp Sasuke walked into the waiting hall, scanning the information board.

At six am sharp Naruto stood up with a relieved sigh, stretching his legs. He'd let people pass him, wondering what they were in such a hurry for. They had to wait for their baggage anyway.

Twenty minutes later, when Sasuke was close to start pacing the hall back and forth, the first people with checked in bags started spilling out into the small crowd waiting for them. He tensed up and stared concentrated at the exit, waiting for that mop of blond hair.

As Naruto walked through the short corridor leading to the waiting hall he felt bubbles of excitement in his stomach. It had been almost a month since he left, but it felt like so much longer. Now that he was coming back, leaving sounded like such a stupid idea. Just what the hell was he thinking?

But then again, he'd said it himself. If he didn't leave he couldn't come back, right? And walking out into the hall and seeing Sasuke, all he could think was Yes, I'm home now.

He wasn't expecting Sasuke to almost run into his arms though, and with a surprised sound he caught the raven in a hug. Sasuke buried his face in his neck, clutching his t-shirt between his back and backpack.

"Hey Sasuke" he mumbled, smiling despite the worry his boyfriend's behavior inspired.

Sasuke didn't answer, only held him tighter, tensing up before relaxing again when Naruto nuzzled him with his nose.

"Let's go somewhere else" Naruto said, and gently released Sasuke's hold, taking his hand instead.

He received a nod in response, but Sasuke kept his eyes on the floor, looking as if he had trouble keeping his breathing calm. Naruto felt a sense of dread. Just what had happened to Sasuke while he was gone? Was it simply that he'd missed Naruto so much? But last time they talked just a few days ago Sasuke had seemed pretty happy, having found out he was a dad.

Sasuke led him out of the building towards his car, and Naruto had to squint against the bright April sun. Having spent almost twenty-four hours inside his eyes needed some time to adjust. Reaching the vehicle Naruto gave it a surprised look, noticing it wasn't Sasuke's favorite one, but the other 'official' one as he called it.

"What happened to your other car?" he asked, and Sasuke threw him a quick glance.

Naruto was almost horrified at the tiredness in the usually lively dark eyes.

"I left it at work yesterday" Sasuke mumbled, pressing the button to open the lock and then opening up the trunk.

"Sasuke… Did something happen? You look so tired."

Sasuke had taken Naruto's backpack and put it next to some other bags. Now he hesitated, slowly standing up straight again to face Naruto.

"I'll tell you after the drive" he said quietly and slammed the trunk shut, making a move to walk to the driver's seat.

Naruto stopped him with an arm, pulling him into his chest and crossing his arms securely around his back.

"Where's my welcome home kiss?" he mumbled into the skin underneath Sasuke's ear, feeling a sharp breath released against the side of his head.

"It's better if you don't kiss me here" Sasuke answered, voice trembling, and Naruto felt something painful tug at his heart.

Leaning back he held Sasuke's chin in one hand, turning it towards him so he could see his face. Sasuke looked paler than usual, and definitely tired. Drained, even. Caressing his cheek with a thumb Naruto watched him in concern, searching his eyes for the cause, but Sasuke looked to the side.

"We'd better get going, it's gonna take a while to drive" Sasuke said and eased out of Naruto's embrace, getting into the car.

With a frown on his face Naruto followed, putting on his seatbelt and silently watching Sasuke as he backed out of the parking lot and drove towards the airport exit.

"And where are we going?" he asked, when Sasuke didn't seem to be explaining further.

"My summer house" was all he got, and Naruto raised his eyebrows.

"I thought you said you don't usually go there before May."

"Well we are now."

They drove in silence after that, and Naruto tried in vain to decipher the emotion, or lack thereof, on Sasuke's face. He was almost scared now. Something must have happened, and he'd rather find out sooner than later. At least he knew Yukio was fine, he'd sent a text to Karin to tell her he was back.

They stopped at a fast-food restaurant on the way, Naruto's complaining stomach getting one look from Sasuke before he turned off the road at first opportunity. Naruto ordered a coffee, all but shoving it in Sasuke's face and forcing him to drink it, saying he'd rather not die on the way because Sasuke fell asleep behind the wheel. Other than that they ate in silence, but when Naruto stood up to go to the restroom Sasuke grabbed his hand, making him pause.

"I missed you" he said, voice barely above a whisper.

Naruto immediately sat down on the bench next to him, shifting his fingers through dark bangs and once again searching his eyes, this time with Sasuke meeting his gaze.

"I'm sorry I was gone so long" he said, but Sasuke shook his head.

"I'm just glad you're back."

Naruto gave a small smile, then pecked Sasuke's forehead.

"I'll be right back. Finish your coffee okay?"

When Naruto came back Sasuke managed a smile, and as they got back in the car again he seemed to feel a little better, because he turned on the radio and let Naruto pick a channel. He'd probably needed that coffee.

Maybe an hour later they got off the main road, following smaller ones with trees and fields lining them. Naruto could see water sparkling in the distance, and he remembered Sasuke had told him the summer house had its own little beach. Not long after they turned into a private road, Naruto guessing from the mail box at the beginning of it that this belonged to the Uchiha family, meaning they'd reached their destination.

As he got out of the car Naruto stopped with one hand still on the door, taking in the sight of the two storey house, painted red with white corners and windows. They'd parked at what appeared to be the backside of it, and after accepting his backpack and walked around it he stopped again, appreciating the view. A lawn led down to the beach where there was a small dock for the motor boat Sasuke had mentioned, not that it was there at the moment.

This early in spring there still weren't many leaves on the trees but a few spring flowers decorated the garden, and there seemed to be quite a few fruit trees. The breeze caused waves to wash against the shore, and the string on the flag pole snapped in it.

"Looks great" he commented, turning towards the house, Sasuke standing on the porch waiting for him.

"Thanks" Sasuke said, letting his eyes sweep over the garden as well. "There's a reason I spend my summers here after all."

They walked inside, Sasuke continuing into what turned out to be the kitchen to dump his bags, containing mostly food. Naruto couldn't help but marvel at the contrast of this house compared to Sasuke's apartment and childhood home. Everything looked so quaint and old, almost traditional. There was a rag carpet on the floor and red and white checkered curtains, a sturdy table in some light colored wood. The chairs were matching, with flower-patterned padding, cupboards and shelves were in white. The walls were also white, with a wood panel covering the lower half in the same color.

"It looks…" Naruto searched for words.

"Most of it's kept as it originally was when we bought it. My mother liked the traditional feeling."

Naruto nodded, peeking through the arched opening leading into what looked like the living room.

"Go take a look around, I'll unpack the food."

Sending a look at Sasuke to make sure he seemed fit for the task, Naruto hummed in agreement and ventured off to explore. The bottom floor consisted of the kitchen, a spacious living room with one wall almost only made up of windows providing a nice view, the hallway and a small bathroom with neighboring laundry room. Upstairs were three bedrooms, only one looking like it was being used, as well as a larger bathroom complete with a bathtub. Walking into the master bedroom he noticed the pictures hanging on one wall, containing Sasuke's family in various constellations. He was so busy checking out one with kid Sasuke riding a teenage Itachi's shoulders that he didn't notice the grown-up version entering, startling him when he spoke right behind him.

"It took me almost half an hour to convince him to let me do that" Sasuke said quietly, ignoring the look Naruto gave him for sneaking up on him.

"It must have been fun" Naruto said, turning back to look at the picture again.

"I guess" Sasuke mused, putting his arms around Naruto's waist and pressing their cheeks together. "I guess it wasn't all bad."

"Sasuke…" Naruto said, turning his head to look at him. "What's going on? You look like shit."

"You don't look much better" Sasuke smirked, and Naruto had a momentary flashback to the night they first met.

"Heh, well, it's pretty difficult to sleep in airplanes, especially with screaming kids next to you."

"I bet" Sasuke murmured, lips against Naruto's cheek.

He felt so much better just from the physical contact.

"But I'm serious Sasuke, I'm here if you want to talk."

Sasuke was silent for a while, looking through the other pictures. He'd always liked these, they looked so happy. The picture perfect family. Too bad he knew how false that picture was now.

"Later" he replied, sounding a little strained. "There's a lot to talk about, though."

"I'll listen. I've got some stuff to tell you, too. Should we sleep first?"

Sasuke shook his head, hands sneaking under Naruto's t-shirt, feeling cold all of a sudden compared to Naruto's body heat.

"I'm not sleepy, thanks to someone forcing coffee into my system."

He didn't sound very upset about it, and Naruto chuckled lowly as he leaned into him.

"Then, can we go down to the beach? I wanna see it."

Sasuke nodded, releasing his hold and walking out of the room. Naruto quickly followed, interlacing their fingers and swinging their hands back and forth as they came outside, lazily making their way down the slanting garden.

"It's definitely nice" Naruto commented once they reached the shore, and he raised his face against the sun, closing his eyes and smiling against the wind, ignoring the chill it sent through his light clothing.

Sasuke was quiet, looking out over the water. When he turned back to Naruto he found him still enjoying the sun, the smile on his lips sending something warm through Sasuke's body. He stepped closer, standing face to face now, and Naruto opened his eyes to look at him curiously with his head tipped to the side.

Sasuke raised the hand that wasn't connected to Naruto's and cupped a tan cheek, letting his fingers brush lightly over the skin. He leaned their foreheads together, letting out a breath through his nose and wetting his lips, trying to swallow the unease in his throat.

"I love you" he said, observing how the blue in Naruto's eyes seemed to deepen at his words. "There's no one else I could ever want. It has to be you."

Naruto opened his mouth to say something but Sasuke interrupted him by pressing a kiss to his lips, lingering there before continuing.

"But I'm not good for you at all" he whispered hoarsely, holding Naruto's hand tighter.

"What are you talking about?" Naruto asked, confused, gripping the back of Sasuke's grey sweater with his free hand, as if to make sure Sasuke couldn't widen the distance between them.

"I can't help it though" Sasuke continued, mumbling against his parted lips, as if he hadn't heard his question. "I need you."

He leaned forwards, his arm sliding around Naruto's neck to embrace him, breathing hot air into Naruto's ear.

"Please" he whispered, pleadingly, "Please tell me that you love me."

"Sasuke" Naruto said, sounding upset, worried, eyes wide as he pulled his head back to look into his Sasuke's. "Of course I love you. More than anything, I love you."

He gripped Sasuke's shirt tighter, trying to convey all his feelings through the hard kiss he gave him. Letting go of Sasuke's hand he secured both arms around his back, pulling him against his chest with force, thrusting his tongue into Sasuke's mouth to deepen the kiss. Sasuke's fingers held his hair in a painful grip, and he was sure their lips would bruise.

"Don't scare me like that Sasuke" he breathed once they parted, holding Sasuke's eyes locked with his. "I need you just as much as you need me, hell Yukio needs you, don't you dare walk out on us!"

Sasuke was almost panting, the air washing over Naruto's mouth, and he fought against the hopeless feeling in his chest.

"Naruto you don't know-"

"I know more than you need to know I do" Naruto interrupted him, and Sasuke froze with his mouth still half-formed around the rest of his sentence.

Closing it with a snap he searched Naruto's eyes, feeling as if the world stopped spinning as realization dawned on him. Naruto… knew? But how?

"Sasuke, listen to me. I'm not going to spew some cliché crap about how the past doesn't matter, because it does. But it's still the past, and this is the present, and I love you. Okay?"

Slowly, as if every second was as long as a decade, Sasuke nodded. The relieved look on Naruto's face almost knocked the wind out of him though. Had Naruto been worried? About what, that he would leave him? Maybe he should. Had he not already had these feelings, this irrevocable coercion in his heart to stay right here, he might have lost it and pushed everything away.

Love conquers all, or so they say.

"I…" he started, having no idea what he was trying to say.

Luckily Naruto seemed to get the message, because he pulled Sasuke closer again, mouth against his throat, a warm sigh against his skin.

"I'm home" he whispered, brushing his fingers underneath the hem of Sasuke's sweater. "We can leave the talking for later."

It's strange, how just a few words can calm you down so perfectly Sasuke thought, relaxing into Naruto's embrace. He played with the strands of hair at the base of Naruto's neck, inhaling his scent. He hummed when tan hands snuck the whole way underneath the fabric and caressed his lower back, feeling hot despite the fingers being a little cold.

"Let me make love to you."

The words were muffled against his neck, but Sasuke still shivered. He felt his heartbeat pick up as a jolt of pleasure ran down his body from the small bite Naruto gave him, just over his pulse.

"I'm all yours" he mumbled, turning his head to meet the lips searching for his.

"Not out here" Naruto said, brushing his lips in a feather-light touch over Sasuke's.

Taking a step back Naruto grabbed his hand and turned towards the house, leading the way. Sasuke followed him, staring at the back of Naruto's head. How long had it been since the first time they met? Six months? And during that time so much had happened, changing him, his whole life. For the first time in his life he felt completely lost, not knowing what to do, as if the path to the future was divided in a hundred directions, all invisible.

Gaze fixated on the golden strands flowing in the wind and with the movement of Naruto's brisk pace flashes of 'ifs' flew through his mind. There was no sense to be made from them though, and he squeezed Naruto's hand in his just to feel like he had some sort of grip on reality. All the times he'd had to reassure Naruto, had to work against his doubts, and now he was the one wavering.

Meeting Naruto had been like setting a stone in motion, slowly at first, but now it was falling headlong off a cliff with no control whatsoever. Or maybe it had started when he broke up with Sakura, breaking up with his old life at the same time.

Naruto pushed the door to the porch open, and Sasuke didn't have the energy to close it properly. When Naruto pushed him up against the window to the side of it he felt breathless, the look of desire flooring him completely.

Perhaps he could just give himself up to Naruto, like he'd already done so many times, and trust him to guide him to a better future.

"Sasuke" Naruto said, voice a low vibration, closing the distance between them. "I really hate that lost look on your face."

Sasuke blinked, biting his lip.

"You think I enjoy feeling like this?" he retorted, and was surprised by the small grin that met him.

"I missed you" Naruto mumbled, rubbing his nose against his cheek. "It's not like you to be so closed off. I feel guilty for letting it happen."

"Naruto" Sasuke objected, "It's not because of you."

His answer was a huff against his cheek, and Naruto's arms sliding around his body. He lifted his arms when Naruto nudged them, having bunched up his sweater in an attempt to take it off.

"Even so" Naruto said quietly, "I'm going to love you until you feel better, and then I'll keep you that way."

Sasuke frowned, gliding his palms over the exposed tan chest once Naruto had gotten rid of his own shirt as well.

"What about you?" he asked, tilting his head back as butterfly kisses were pressed to the side of his neck, relocating his hands to trace Naruto's spine.

"Just seeing you smile is enough" Naruto said, in that same quiet, serious voice, nibbling Sasuke's jaw line.

Closing his eyes Sasuke sighed, letting Naruto be in charge. The glass was cool against his bare back, and the blunt nails dragging down his sides caused him to shiver lightly. Naruto seemed determined to kiss every single part of his body, starting with his neck and face, continuing down his chest. As the blond slid down to kneel on the floor he combed through the spiky strands of hair, staring up at the ceiling, his breath hitching when a wet tongue slid over his bellybutton. He could just stay like this forever, Naruto's hands and mouth roaming his body, as if he was transferring his feelings through the touch.

And Sasuke could feel them.

Naruto stood up again, pressing into him, and god he'd waited too long to feel him like this, hard and longing for a deeper connection.

"Love you Naruto" he murmured, their eyes meeting, so much passing between them, so many unsaid things, and it made his head spin.

"I'm never letting you go" Naruto assured him heatedly, grinding against him slowly, moving his hips in a circular motion. "It's too late for second-guessing. You're mine now, and I love you."

Sasuke put his hands down the back pockets of Naruto's jeans, pushing him harder against himself, their breathing speeding up. Naruto's fingers twisted in his hair, tugging at the ends of his bangs, scraping down his neck and continuing down to brush over his nipples. Rubbing them with his thumbs Naruto caught his lips again, tongues sliding sensually against each other, reacquainting themselves with the familiar taste.

"Did you bring any lube?" Naruto asked, licking up the front of Sasuke's throat, feeling his adam's apple move as he swallowed.

"Forgot" he groaned, massaging the firm cheeks through the jeans fabric as Naruto sucked on his ear.

"Hmm, I've got some in my backpack but," Naruto paused to bite his earlobe, "it's pretty far down."

"Why would you bring lube?" Sasuke asked, fighting against the fog already clouding over his mind.

"Souvenir" Naruto grinned, starting to walk them backwards. "I guess we'll have to make do with kitchen oil."

Sasuke rolled his eyes as he followed Naruto, trying not to trip on the way. Reaching it Naruto slammed him against the counter, dragging his teeth along his collar bone and making his toes curl momentarily. When Naruto went lower to suck on a nipple, rolling it between his teeth, Sasuke fumbled to open one of the cupboards behind him, fairly certain there was oil in there.

Naruto noticed his struggle and came to the rescue, taking the bottle down and putting it beside them. Initiating another passionate kiss he unbuttoned Sasuke's pants, hooking his fingers over the waistband of his briefs and pulling it all down in one go. Wrapping a hand around the revealed length he started stroking it, Sasuke gripping the edges of the counter and moaning, thrusting into the friction.

"You make it so hard to control myself" Naruto growled, free hand reaching for the oil and somehow managing to open it up and pour some onto his fingers with just one hand.

Turning Sasuke around, surprisingly gently, he grabbed one ass cheek and inserted a finger, pushing it in deep. Sasuke gasped at the sudden intrusion, pushing against the finger, clawing at the smooth surface as another was added.

"God it feels so good" he panted, moaning when he could feel Naruto's now unclothed erection press against his hip.

Naruto was biting and licking his neck without restraint, hungrily sucking on the flesh, leaving numerous marks. The fingers scissored and spread him, pumping in and out eagerly. When they pressed against his prostate Sasuke let out a shout, burying his face in one arm. It felt as if with every jab a little of his pain disappeared, replaced with pleasure, replaced with Naruto.

When Naruto put an arm around his stomach and pulled him up against his chest he arched his back, the hand still working magic on him. He tried to reach for something to hold onto, but Naruto moved him so that the back of his upper thighs connected with the table, and he smacked his hands down on the table surface and allowed himself to be lifted up onto it. Naruto kissed the inside of his knee, one set of fingers massaging his balls and the others returning back to preparing his hole.

He raised his legs and wrapped them around Naruto's back, unable to think clearly and welcoming the haze. Naruto was doing a great job of loving him until he felt better, because he already did.

"Naruto, hurry, I need you" he moaned, sounding just as needy and desperate as he felt.

The fingers slipped out of him, leaving him empty and aching, and he tried to regain control of his lungs as he waited the few seconds it took for Naruto to smear the oil onto himself. Strong hands gripped his thighs and lifted them up and to the sides, forcing him to release the death grip he had around Naruto's back.

"I want a good view of you" Naruto said, sounding a bit strained, and Sasuke hooked his arms underneath his knees to hold them up against his chest.

"How's this?" he asked between labored breaths, and Naruto's aroused look was all the answer he needed.

Naruto's palms dragged down his chest and stomach, skipping around his leaking need, those blue eyes pinning him down in shuddering anticipation. Sasuke had hardly touched himself as he waited for Naruto's return, never getting into the mood on his own, and now he felt ready to explode the moment he was entered.

"Hah, yes" he gasped as he felt the swollen head of Naruto's cock breaching the ring of muscle, his whole body tingling as Naruto slowly sunk deeper inside him.

Naruto was groaning, the sight of Sasuke underneath him, squirming and moaning from being filled, an erotic flush covering his cheeks; it was just so many times better than he remembered. The silence inside the house was now filled up with the lewd sounds they made, as well as the occasional creaking sound the table did as Naruto started thrusting. Sasuke's nails dug into the skin on his thighs, Naruto bruising his hips as he took leverage for every movement, every deliberate snap of his own as he drove into the barely coherent Uchiha.

Abandoning his rhythm to pound roughly into Sasuke, Naruto leaned forwards until his forehead connected with a pale heaving chest. A sheen of sweat had formed on their bodies as they kept moving in sync, thrusting and meeting thrusts, repeating each other's names as if praying desperately. They left reality behind as they focused solely on the other, every sound, every touch, every nerve end lighting up in a spark of pleasure. Sasuke lost the grip on his legs but Naruto caught them, pulling them over his shoulders, hands moving upwards to caress Sasuke's sides.

Release caught them before they had time to register the crescendo of pleasure, and their bodies were trembling, jerking as they rode it out. Naruto collapsed on top of Sasuke, rubbing his forehead against his skin, loud breathing mixing with the words that wouldn't stop spilling from his lips.

"So fucking good Sasuke, you're mine, all mine, you better be listening to me bastard, only I can hold you, pleasure you, come inside of you."

The words barely registered in Sasuke's foggy mind, but they still brought rushes of warmth through his already overheated body. He blinked, trying to come back to reality, feeling the hardness of the table uncomfortably underneath him. Suddenly he couldn't stop the choked chuckle from escaping his throat.

"What is it?" Naruto mumbled, now trailing his mouth back and forth over his ribs, placing openmouthed kisses everywhere he thought one was needed.

"I just, couldn't help but think what mother would say if she knew what we did on her table."

Naruto looked up from his ministrations to take in the unreadable feelings in the darkness of Sasuke's eyes.

"And I realized that I don't give a damn."

Leaning forwards, standing on his tiptoes, Naruto pressed his lips against Sasuke's, sensing rather than feeling the conflict of emotions in the kiss.

"You'll be fine" he murmured, tightening his hands around Sasuke's sides. "You will be."

Sasuke let out a shaky sigh, brushing some hair out of his face, drying off some of the sweat in the process.

"Take me to bed" he whispered. "And don't let go of me when I pass out."

Letting his eyes roam down and back up Sasuke's body, lingering on the semen decorating the firm abs, Naruto nodded. Standing up he brought Sasuke with him, clutching him to his chest. Catching Sasuke's kiss-swollen lips in another bruising kiss he slid his arms downwards to embrace his lower back, pressing their far from satisfied groins together.

"You won't be thinking about anything besides me for the rest of the day" Naruto promised through the chaste kisses he placed over Sasuke's cheeks and mouth, and Sasuke could feel his whole body aching for that promise to be fulfilled.


This felt a little bit like a filler chapter, but next one will have lots more talking and stuff... Maybe some fun smex too, I don't know yet:p I hope you're all still with me even though this turned so angsty as of late... Ah well, goodnight sweet readers, I'm gonna go curl up around my pretty girlfriend and keep being all lovey-dovey because damn that's a nice feeling:3 (I just can't help crying and wailing every time I try writing these chapters though gah)
