I do not own Naruto nor do I make any money off of this.

Chapter 17:
Naruto found Sasuke sitting on the bench under the tree in the middle of the park. It was late so no one else there. He walked up to Sasuke and hugged him. Sasuke tensed before relaxing. "I'm sorry."
Sasuke looked up at Naruto, eyes wide. "No, I'm the one that is sorry."
Naruto shook his head. "All of this is my fault. I blackmailed you into sleeping with me. If I hadn't done that, we wouldn't be here now."
"What I did was worse," Sasuke said. "I followed a friend's advice and blackmailed you back."
"Sasuke?" Naruto asked.
"Yes?" Sasuke looked into Naruto's eyes.
"The truth is, I have been in love with you for a long time," Naruto said.
Sasuke's eyes widened. "H-how long?"
"Since I was twelve," Naruto said. "Eight months ago I rented a DVD to masturbate to. When I paused it, I saw your face. It made me realize that I wanted to be the one you had sex with. So I took pictures of you. Then I blackmailed you into doing what I wanted." He sat down next to Sasuke and looked up at the moon. "Then Sarah showed up. She kissed you and it made me depressed since you never kissed me even during sex. So I gave you that request to make love to me then to kiss me. The blackmail came to an end. I tried to put my feelings behind me, but I couldn't. When Sarah came to the hotel room during our class trip, it hurt. I was awake the entire time."
"Then I went and raped you in the showers of that mud wrestling place," Sasuke said.
Naruto blushed. "It wasn't rape. I could have fought back, but I didn't. I still love you and I wanted it. When you told me it was a mistake, it broke my heart."
"I felt the same way when you told me that accidents happened," Sasuke admitted. "I had fallen in love with you sometime during the blackmail, but I only noticed it when you left be in that shower."
"Sorry," Naruto said.
Sasuke shook his head. "It wasn't your fault. I did something stupid. I listened to my friend Suigetsu."
"The one that got kicked out of school?" Naruto asked.
"Yes," Sasuke answered. "He told me to get you back by blackmailing you. Well, sort of. He said 'an eye for an eye' and so I took pictures of you."
"You took those pictures? I thought someone else did!"
"No, I did. I didn't want anyone else to see you naked. I blackmailed you right back hoping that you'd fall for me. But I saw you hanging out with your friends. You were so happy. I got jealous. Uchihas are naturally possessive. I let that get to me. Oh, and I also threatened Sai to stay away from you."
"Why'd you do that?"
"He tried to kiss you. That day that I saw you in the courtyard at school he leaned down to kiss you, but I came out and stopped him. It scared me when you fainted. I thought I lost you. I ended the blackmail, but my heart was breaking. I had to get married to someone I didn't love. I couldn't stand up to my father. So I went to Itachi. He wrote up that marriage contract. I had him add that bit about children though I knew Sarah wouldn't get pregnant when the one I wanted was you."
"That day when you married Sarah, Shusui talked to me. He knew from Itachi that I was in love with you. He told me that things happen for a reason. I believe that all of this has led us to be together."
"How can you still love me? After all that I have done?"
"The past cannot be changed, forgotten, edited or erased; it can only be accepted." Naruto looked into Sasuke's dark eyes. "'Let someone love you just the way you are – as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.' It is a quote I read somewhere. Sasuke, I want you to let me love you."
Sasuke smiled. "Alright." The two leaned into each other, slowly moving towards their goals. There lips touched sending pleasant shivers through out their bodies. Deciding to let the other dominate the kiss, Sasuke opened his mouth letting Naruto's tongue enter. Naruto took advantage of Sasuke's submissive action and moved his tongue around the cavern, tasting Sasuke. He finally pulled Sasuke's tongue into his own mouth, letting Sasuke taste him. They moaned at the feeling. Soon, they had to pull away to catch their breaths. "Naruto," Sasuke looked into beautiful blue eyes that were no longer empty. "I love you."
Naruto's smile was the best one Sasuke had ever seen. "I love you too."
