Chapter 19: Cacophony Of Sounds

"Be music. Always."

The doctor had insisted on keeping Naruto there overnight and so, much to the blonde's consternation, they stayed. The staff attempted to get Sasuke to leave but when he made it clear that he would slaughter anyone who tried to separate them, they backed off. Naruto vouched for him repeatedly and also refused to stay without him, so they gave in. They offered another cot, but Sasuke refused. He didn't want to be that far away from the blonde.

Instead, he waited for the staff to clear out then climbed in bed with Naruto. He seemed hesitant at first, but the combination of his newly acknowledged feelings for Sasuke, his rampant fear of being in a hospital, and his need for comfort after bringing back so many horrible memories made him more than willing to share his space.

Sasuke lowered the cot and pulled the blonde into his arms, and the two fell into a peaceful dreamless sleep. They woke several hours later to a group of excitable nurses giggling at their bedside. Sasuke opened one eye to peer over at them, clearly unamused by their antics.

"We're sorry" one bubbly nurse said, she brought her hands to her face as she gazed at them with sugary adoration. "You two are just so cute together!"

Sasuke looked around at the squealing fangirls, then down at the blonde cuddled close to him. "Naruto?"

"Nnn.. 'ske. Tired.." he mumbled.

Another collective squeal and the blonde finally opened his eyes. "Nnnhhn.. why're you-"

Cloudy blues widened when he realized that they had an audience. He tried to pull away, but Sasuke held him close and refused to let go. "Sasuke!"

"You're tired. And they've probably been here for a while- no point in hiding it now."

The blonde glared over at the nurses who still had yet to take a hint. "Will you get out of here already?!" he shouted.

Completely unaffected by his anger, the girls giggled and started to stream out of the room. "Oh- can I see it?" they heard them say. "Can you share that with me? Oh my god- so cute!"

Naruto's eyes shot up to Sasuke's. "Did they take pictures of us?!"

"Probably."

"Am I having a fucking stroke?! What is this place? Is that even legal?"

Sasuke shrugged. "It's a small-town hospital, enough said. Hey, remind me to get that picture from them too."

Naruto rolled his eyes and dropped his head back down. "For how over-the-top you are about your privacy, it's very weird that this isn't bothering you."

The Uchiha smiled and nuzzled his cheek against the blonde. "Maybe I like showing you off."

Naruto pushed his head away and laid down on his chest, resigning himself to another round of sleep. "It is way too early for everyone to be this weird.."

"Nnnn- who the hell sets an alarm on the weekend..?" Iruka groaned, throwing an arm over his throbbing eyes. He blindly reached out and slapped Kakashi's mouth. "Turn it off, 'Kashi.."

The silver fox opened one eye as he felt around for his phone. He silenced the insistent alarm and cleared out the others before settling back in bed. He grabbed his brunette and pulled him close, snuggling into the crook of his neck, pressing his hips into his warmth. "Mmm.. you feel good, little dolphin."

Iruka grumbled, pushing away Kakashi's wandering hands. "Mmmm- no. Sleepin'.."

Kakashi pulled his lobe into his mouth, teasing it with his teeth, as he snaked a hand around his waist, grabbing his length. Iruka gasped as he involuntarily thrust into Kakashi's hands, unable to stop himself from reacting. He could feel his boyfriend's hard want pushing against him, begging for entrance. He pressed back against it, teasing the tip as Kakashi continued to move his hands.

"Ahhh.. 'Kashi.." he breathed, "I-"

Kakashi worked his way down his neck, eyes roaming across the bed until he finally found what he was looking for. He grabbed the bottle of lube, smiling at Iruka's disappointed sounds when he stopped, and poured a generous amount in his hand, coating his cock in the sticky liquid. He grabbed the brunette's waist and pulled him back into his lap. He lined up his tip and groaned as Iruka pushed his ass down on it.

"Nnn.. f-fuck.." he groaned, overcome by his tight little brunette- the feel of him, the gasps of pleasure and pain that slipped from his lips, the way he sank back into his arms, his warmth. "Iru.." he moaned, pushing himself deeper.

He grabbed Iruka's face and brought it back so he could kiss him, ravish his mouth while he dominated his body, but paused when he saw the tears. He searched his face, brows furrowed. "Are you ok?" he asked, kissing away a tear that had slipped free.

Iruka nodded. "Yeah, it- it's just really big."

Kakashi laughed. "I think you're just really tight, darling."

He kissed the corner of his eye, trying to comfort him. "Iru.. do you want me to stop?"

The brunette shook his head. "No, baby. I don't want you to stop."

Kakashi's chest seized. "Baby..?" he breathed.

Iruka looked unsure. "You don't like it?"

Kakashi leaned in, pushing himself deeper, smiling as his brunette bit back a moan, as his eyes fluttered. "I like it" he breathed.

"I really, really like it."

Sasuke and Naruto made it back to Kakashi's place late morning, both exhausted. Sleeping in a hospital did not feel like sleeping at all, and they could feel that intense exhaustion down to their marrows.

Naruto hesitated when they stepped inside, but Sasuke was having none of it. He gently took hold of his uninjured wrist and guided him upstairs and into his bedroom. He pulled back his comforter and ushered the blonde into his bed before scooting in next to him.

Naruto was too tired to argue or question it. He crawled in, eyes closing before his head even hit the pillow. He dropped onto his back, sinking into some much-needed sleep, when he felt a hand at his waist. He cracked open one eye to stare at the raven hovering over him. "Hm? 'Ske.. what are you.. doing.." he murmured.

"You won't be comfortable sleeping in these" Sasuke said quietly, trying not to think too much about what he was doing. He unfastened the blonde's pants, pulled down the zipper- don't think about it, don't think about it- and pulled his pants down, careful not to bring his boxers down with it.

Naruto was already fading, but he could feel Sasuke's hands on his ankles. "Hnnn.. why are you.."

"It's ok, Naruto."

Sasuke pulled his pants free and tossed them to the side, then did the same to his own before dropping down on his side. He watched the blonde relax and tried to do the same, but the desire swirling in his gut kept getting in the way. He wanted to touch him. He wanted to see what his face looks like when he comes. He wanted to force his head under the covers and over to his lap. He wanted to feel Naruto's mouth around him, his tongue moving down its length..

He forced down the thoughts, ignored the erection that refused to do the same, and finally managed to fall asleep.

Sasuke opened his eyes and found Naruto staring back at him. "Why're you watching me sleep, dobe?"

"Why am I naked, perv?"

Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "Is that a trick question?"

"Did you take my pants off?" Naruto shot back.

Sasuke paused. "I might have.."

"Ok. And why would you do that?"

"You didn't look comfortable."

"I didn't look comfortable" Naruto repeated, staring at him incredulously. "But you thought I'd be more comfortable naked in your bed."

"Naruto. You are not naked."

"I'm basically naked."

"You're ridiculous."

"Give me back my pants, Sasuke."

The Uchiha eyed the blonde. He didn't seem nervous or scared of him. Maybe this is all just a ruse, he thought. Maybe he's calling attention to it because he wants me to make a move.

The thought excited him, and Naruto must have noticed, because he quickly shifted back from him. "Don't even think about it."

Sasuke scooted closer, a smile growing on his face. "Why do I feel like that's not what you really want."

"Because you're a sociopath!" Naruto shouted, scooting further away. His back hit the wall and he realized his mistake. He should have insisted on sleeping on the outside if he was going to share a bed with Sasuke- on the side with an escape route.

Naruto held his hands up in front of him. "Sasuke, come on-"

"I'm trying to" the raven said, his eyes flashing with excitement, his smile sly and confident.

"You know that's not what I meant!" the blonde yelled, shrinking back against the wall. "Stop hearing what you want to hear."

"I want to touch you" Sasuke breathed, slowly closing the distance between them.

Naruto bit his lip as his groin stirred. He didn't want to admit it, but…

Sasuke grabbed his hips and jerked him close. Their lengths met and a deep groan rushed up his throat. Naruto rolled his hips and his entire body shivered. His mouth went dry and his mind blank as the feel of Sasuke's excitement doubled his.

"Mmm.. Sa-"

The bedroom door slammed open and the two jumped apart. Naruto pulled the blanket closer and Sasuke sat up, eyes blazing.

"Ahhh- there they are!" Kakashi said with a wicked grin. "We were wondering what happened to our boys." He looked over his shoulder. "Nothing to worry about dear, they're just getting to second base."

Naruto turned bright red, and Sasuke immediately felt anger coursing through him. "Don't assume things you know nothing about" he growled.

Kakashi waved him off. "Yes, yes- I know. You like to keep things.." he glanced over at the blonde, "private."

"Kakashi!" Sasuke shouted.

"Alright, alright, I'm done. Come on Iru- let's go get some breakfast for those two. I'm sure they've worked up quite an appetite."

Sasuke grabbed a pillow and launched it at him, but the door closed before it could reach its mark. "Fucking asshole.."

Naruto crawled over to the edge of the bed, but Sasuke didn't want things to end this way. He grabbed the scurrying blonde and pulled him down into his lap. "Don't leave."

"Sasuke! Let go- they're downstairs!"

"So what?" Sasuke breathed against his neck, his hands snaking under the blonde's shirt. "They did the same thing to us yesterday."

"It is not the same thing. St-stop.." Naruto bit his lip to hold back a moan as one hand roamed across his chest and another slowly slid down to his lap. "Sa.. Sasuke.."

The raven groaned, lifting his hips to shove his hard want against the blonde's tempting ass. "Say my name like that again.." he growled.

Naruto shook his head. He knew he should stop this. It felt good, but they weren't alone anymore. He couldn't let Iruka hear this. And even knowing all of that, he didn't push him away. Didn't stop his hand from slipping into his boxers and grabbing his want. Naruto threw his head back against Sasuke's shoulder, gasping with wide eyes as that hand slowly started moving up and down his length.

"Ahhh- mmnnn.. 'ske, I- I-"

"Does it feel good?" Sasuke whispered, his lips brushing against his ear, his breath crawling down his neck, sending shivers through him.

Another heavy sound slipped from Naruto's lips, encouraging the raven to keep going. He pulled Naruto's boxers down his thighs, his hand still rubbing up and down his cock. He pulled the blonde in his lap, his solid want straining against his own boxers to reach him. Naruto pushed back against it and Sasuke's eyes rolled.

Oh my fucking god..

He threw the blonde down on his stomach and ripped his own boxers off, before dropping down on top of him. He pressed his tip against Naruto's entrance, moving against that tight forbidden place he craved more than anything.

Naruto gasped, desire slipping away as fear set in. He wasn't ready for this. Sasuke was moving too fast. He couldn't get a grasp on one thing before something even more intense stepped in to take its place. "Ahh.. w-wait."

Sasuke moved against that spot, teasing it, as he licked down the blonde's neck. Naruto gasped in fear and pleasure. He has never done anything like this before, and while he was extremely turned-on, he was scared too. "Nnnn.. 'ske" he breathed, gripping the covers, "ahhh, n-no.. ple-please.."

Sasuke froze.

Naruto swallowed. "I- I can't.." he breathed. "It's.. too much."

Sasuke didn't want to stop, he really didn't want to stop, not when he managed to get this close, but he couldn't imagine doing something that would make Naruto be afraid of him.

"Do you want me to stop?" he asked, his voice thick with desire.

Naruto nodded, his face still buried in the comforter, hiding his embarrassment.

Sasuke sat back and pulled both of their boxers back on before throwing a blanket over the blonde, covering his body from his own roaming gaze. "I'm.. sorry if I scared you" he said quietly.

"It was just.. too fast" Naruto murmured.

Sasuke nodded. "Ok. We'll.. we'll take things slower."

Naruto kept quiet, but that seemed to ease some of the tension in his shoulders.

"But.. you didn't hate it?" Sasuke asked.

"No" Naruto admitted. He turned his head to look up at the raven, his raven.

"No, I didn't hate it."
