Welcome to the happy fluffy chapter. Enjoy it while you can.
Sasuke stared into the mirror. Gross. He sighed at the sight of himself. Letting that nimrod choose his costume was a horrible decision. He at least should have paid attention to the purchase he was paying for. But no, and of course, the blond man had chosen the most angsty, revealing costume. A vampire. But not just any vampire a pleather skinny jeans wearing, shirtless but still wore a cape vampire. He quite frankly looked as gay as he was.
He was not leaving his apartment like this. Nope, no way in hell would he walk the four blocks to the other man's apartment in this getup. Fuck that. He was likely to be jumped. After all, he had the right to get married but many people still found his sexuality to be a sin. If he looked that openly flamboyant, by himself, in public, at night, he knew very well what could happen to him. He wouldn't press his luck. After finally changing into his normal attire and putting the costume in his messenger bag, he set off for his destination.
He could hear the music as he exited the elevator down the hall from the source. Great, it was already a real rager. Joy. As he came upon the door that the music was coming from, he knocked loudly praying he'd be heard. Luckily for him, the door opened quickly.
"Hi, Sasuke dear."
There stood Hinata looking as beautiful as ever. As she ushered him in, Sasuke took notice of her costume, a lolita doll. Fitting.
"Hey, Hinata."
"SASUKE!"
A blur of orange rushed him, almost causing him to back into the door.
"Why aren't you in your costume?"
The orange blob whined. Oh, Naruto. Once he stood still long enough the Uchiha was able to recognize him. His costume was a fox onesie, his scars colored in with eyeliner. It was the laziest costume possible. But still fitting.
"It's in my bag Princess I couldn't walk here with it on."
"Fine! Go get changed now!"
The man physically pushed into the master room shutting the door behind him. The pale man couldn't help but sigh. His friend was demanding as ever. He might as do what he said or else be bitched at more.
As he emerged from the other room he noticed that there were not many people in the home as he originally suspected. In fact, there was only one other person in the living room. He couldn't see who it was as they had their back to him but they had on a tall top hat.
"Now that you are dressed, come take a shot with us."
The blond magically reappeared next to him. He jumped in surprise, earning a chuckle from the fox.
"Alright."
"Go sit on the couch I'll be right back with the shots."
Sasuke circled the living room and made his way to the armchair in the room. After he sat he looked over at his silent companion. It was a man. A man who for all intents and purposes was drop-dead gorgeous. Holy fuck. The raven turned vampire couldn't help but stare as he took in the man's appearance. While the hat shaded the better part of his face, he could make out a mop of bright red hair resting against striking light skin. A jawline so sharp it would cut upon touch.
He couldn't stop his eyes from traveling further down the redhead's body. Though he was in what Sasuke assumed was a butler costume he could tell the man had some serious muscles underneath. Just the thought alone caused the onlooker a twinge below the belt. This man was the embodiment of a wet dream and he knew he needed to control himself before his imagination went too far.
"Shots! Shots! Shots!"
Naruto and Hinata re-entered with a tray full of shot glasses. As they made their way onto the couch the redhead looked up lazily towards them. As his eyes caught Sasuke's, the latter couldn't help his heart skipping a beat. His eyes were the most mesmerizing jade. Onyx eyes couldn't tear themselves away.
"Alright, guys we are going to take these shots then go meet up with the others."
That broke the spell.
"What do you mean go meet the others?"
"Exactly what I said duh! Now drink!"
The blonde shoved two shots into his hands. Handing the butler two, gently placing two in front of Hinata, and then taking two into his own hands, he grinned mischievously.
"One, two, Go!"
All four of them down the shots in their hands. While the other took them consecutively, Naruto and Sasuke downed both at one time. A pissing contest they'd had since their uni days.
"Alright. Another round grab your glasses!"
"Are you trying to kill us, dear?"
The petite woman had a point, she definitely shouldn't have four shots in two minutes. Her boyfriend looked over at her affectionately. He kissed her cheek.
"Alright, I'll take yours for you."
The man nuzzled into her neck. Sasuke knew where this was going.
"I'll take the other one of hers."
He interrupted loudly. All the while the newcomer just sat watching. He still hadn't said one word.
"Alright. Pick them up and let's go."
The three men grabbed their shots and downed them. The two who were drinking three turned it into a race. The raven standing triumphantly as he won.
"Cheater."
The fox man pouted to which his friend chuckled.
"You wish."
"You're an asshole. It's my birthday, you're supposed to let me win!"
"Once again you wish."
The dark-haired man sent a taunting look at the blond, challenging him to do something about the situation.
"How about we go before the others start wondering where we are?"
The fair toned woman sweetly interjected before the boys could go any further in their arguing. They all listened and made their way to the door.
The man dressed as a vampire sat on the bar stool bored out of his mind. This was the fourth bar the giant group had gone to. He was bored out of his mind. He was surrounded by the blond's friends, most of which he had known for years. None of which he was interested in talking to. The only good thing was the never-ending supply booze. Even the attractive redhead had been lost in the crowd. He sighed for the millionth time, gazing around the room.
A flash of red caught attention, he focused on it and saw an interesting sight. There stood the very attractive man looking unimpressed as the woman next to him talked to him enthusiastically. Sasuke recognized the woman as the blond's other best friend and his personal stalker, Sakura. Her bubble gum pink hair was almost hidden under the witch's hat she wore. He couldn't help but laugh at how ironic the costume was.
The more he watched the situation the more he wanted to laugh. The redhead just stood there looking like as blank as ever. Sasuke knew how torturous talking to her or even being in her presence was. Maybe he should go save the sex god. Yeah, that was a good idea. He couldn't help the smirk spreading across his face as he made his way over to the pair.
"I've been looking everywhere for you."
He greeted the redhead ignoring the woman. The man met his gaze and gave a slight motion of his head in acknowledgment.
"Oh, hi Sasuke."
Sakura addressed him meekly, blushing a faint pink. Ignoring the woman a few feet away, Sasuke proceeded into the other man's personal space. He wrapped an arm around his waist and leaned in. His mouth rested just a mere inch from the other's ear.
"Just go along with it."
He breathed out. He felt a shiver run down the man's body, exciting the raven. He tried not to react outwardly with that excitement. He received a minuscule nod in response.
"I've been thinking about the feel of those lips all night."
He pulled the man flush against him. He glanced in the direction of the offending woman, sending her the most uninterested look he could muster.
"Haruno, I'm going to steal him from you as I need him. I can't promise he'll be back. Actually I know he won't be back."
He winked before he began nuzzling the porcelain neck with his nose. He couldn't help but feel intoxicated once he caught a whiff of the other man's scent. It was musky and faintly reminded him of pine trees.
"Oh, okay. Um bye."
He then took a pale hand in his and dragged the butler lookalike to the dark dance floor. He let go of the man as soon as they were stopped. He was beyond shocked by his previous accidents, who did he think he was reacting to the redhead like that? He was mortified by himself.
"Thank you."
It was a quiet statement and it caught the self-loathing man completely off guard.
"Huh?"
"Thank you."
It was a little louder this time, and definitely coming from the man that stood in front of him.
"You aren't offended by me intruding your space?"
"No."
The low voice had Sasuke spiraling again, he wanted to melt from it.
"Would you like to dance, Sasuke?"
There was no way he had heard the other man right. There was no way the man carved out of solid marble was asking him to dance. Nope, the alcohol must have been playing a trick on him. Yeah, that made sense.
"Huh?"
The redhead gently bit his lip as his lips formed a small, sly smirk. He took just a step closer.
"I asked if you wanted to dance."
"With you?"
The other man just slightly raised a brow, as if he was asking him if he was brain-damaged. The ebony-haired man began to think he had become. He was acting like an utter idiot.
"Yes."
"Oh! Sure!"
The redhead began to invade his personal space this time, gently placing his hand on a pleather-clad hip. The two began to move to the tempo of the loud EDM music. Onyx eyes closed as he began to lose himself in the music, his dancing partner took the opportunity to pull him closer. Their bodies just a few inches from each other now.
"Was it true what you said?"
Sasuke opened his eyes and looked quizzically at the god dancing before him.
"What'd I say?"
"You said that you had been thinking of my lips."
"Oh, that… Well, kinda."
He chuckled nervously. When his eyes caught sight of a slight twitch of those fore mentioned lips, he was mesmerized by them. Now, he was definitely thinking of them. He wondered if they were as soft and full as they looked.
"I am now."
He didn't realize he has said that out loud until he heard the low chuckle coming from the other man. Once he did, he was ready to die from the embarrassment his confession caused.
"Really, now?"
All he could manage was a nod, afraid that if he opened his mouth something stupid would come out it. He realized how close they had gotten as he felt the other man's breath on his own lips. He licked them subconsciously.
"Would you like to feel them?"
Did the other man really just ask him that? Of course, he did! He was under the spell those lips were casting. All he wanted was those lips against his. He finally broke his ogling of those pink temptations. He locked gazes with the mystifying teal orbs staring at him.
"Yes."
That was all the other man needed to hear. He dipped his head just a tad and crashed his warm lips against the raven's cool pair. Sasuke felt his mind turn into goop as his eyes fluttered shut.
It wasn't a clean, cute kiss. No, it was sloppy and heated. As it got deeper a set of pale hands found their way into soft red hair. He tugged on it, earning a small groan. A groan that sent him into a frenzy. He needed more. His tongue met the other in a passionate battle for dominance.
He could feel a set of nails dig into his hip, causing a frustrated groan to escape his throat. A fire was beginning to burn in him sending him over the edge. He was desperate for relief. He finally released the other man's lips. Resting his forehead against the other, knocking the top hat carelessly to the floor.
"Sasuke?"
Two sets of eyes shot open. Had it been anyone else the raven would have glared for the interruption, but he couldn't be mad at her. He knew what she wanted and knew she wouldn't have come over if it wasn't necessary. He took a deep breath and turned his head. He didn't move away from the other man.
"Where is he?"
"Outside regurgitating everything he's ever eaten."
"Alright. Well, seems like the party's over."
He sighed, reluctantly releasing his grip on that soft luscious red hair. He marched dutifully towards the exit, his body urging him to turn around and return making out with the other man. His dumb friend owed him for being such a cock block. Speaking of the idiot, Sasuke was not expecting to walk outside to see the blond man sleeping on the curb.
"Naruto!"
Hinata was beyond exacerbated by her boyfriend's reckless nature. He was almost lying in a puddle of his own vomit for crying out loud!
Sasuke just sighed and went to make the bastard stand. Carefully avoiding the large pool of what he could only assume was the blond's former dinner, he heaved the other man up wrapping an arm around the orange-clad waist. He began to drag the semi-conscious man down the block.
Onyx eyes widened in slight surprise as a good portion of the weight was suddenly alleviated and he felt another arm wrap around the buffoon's midsection. He glanced over to see the same beautiful redhead helping him carry his best friend.
"You don' have to help you know."
"I know. However, I am a guest in his home and it would be rude to not help my host get home safely."
"That's fair. Either way, I appreciate you helping me drag him for the next ten blocks."
"Ten blocks?"
"Yep."
"Why don't we call a cab?"
"Because my moronic boyfriend can't be trusted to not vomit in the cab and cleaning fees in this city are ridiculous," Hinata cut in, walking around the three men to lead the way home.
"What she said."
Sasuke chuckled as he viewed the annoyed woman ahead of him. He watched as her hands clenched into fists, then opened back up in an exaggerated manner, just to clench them again a moment later continuing the pattern the entire walk back. Not once did she turn her head to check on her partner. No, she was too angry at his irresponsibility to show any care for him. The raven could tell that the blond really fucked up this time.
Once they made it into the apartment, with only minor mistakes such as almost dropping Naruto as they maneuvered through the door, the two men threw the blond onto the couch. The exhausted men sighed appreciatively as the weight of a full-grown man no longer burdened them. The fair toned woman made her way over to her long-time friend. Planting a delicate kiss on his cheek and wishing him a good night, she retreated to her room. Sasuke couldn't help the small smile that found its way on his face as she departed. She was too sweet to him.
He began to make his way to the door, only thinking of his bed that waited for him there. His hand reached for the handle.
"Sasuke."
Oh, right. Somehow in his fatigued state, he forgot all about the walking wet dream that he had made out with an hour prior. Turning back around, he found that the alluring redhead was once again in his personal space. A ghostly white hand rested against his cheek, gently rubbing a thumb in circles. Those mystifying teal eyes closed as the man leaned in and stopped mere centimeters away.
"May I?"
The raven barely heard the whisper as his heart was pounding in his ears.
"Yes."
He managed to breathe out the reply, before leaning and bridging the small gap between them. This kiss was different, it was gentle, warm, caring. It filled him to the brim with a warmth he couldn't identify, but never wanted to leave. And then it was over. The redhead pulled away and the warmth of his skin left Sasuke. But the warmth he felt on the inside didn't leave him.
"Let me call you a cab, it is not safe to walk alone at this hour."
He couldn't help the swell of his heart at the other man's care.
"Okay, I'm going to go change while you do that."
The raven retreated into the bathroom as quickly as possible. He needed to get his emotions in check! Yes, this guy was sweet and sexy and exciting. But he knew nothing about the other man. He could be an international spy or a tax collector as far as he knew.
"Sasuke, the cab is downstairs."
"Okay!"
He hurriedly finished changing and ran out of the bathroom. He threw his shoes on and was surprised when the other man followed him outside and opened the door for him.
"Goodnight Sasuke."
"Night."
Off of impulse, the obsidian-haired man placed a soft peck on the pale man's cheek before diving into the cab and driving off. He sighed happily as he rode home, thinking of the other man. Oh, fuck what was his name?
