Naruto placed his bare feet on the floor and shivered, he stumbled a bit as he was still weak from the poison's effect. Sasuke came to his side and wrapped a strong arm around the thin waist and hoisted him up.
"I'm not a damsel in distress, you know?" - Naruto complained.
"You're definitely not a damsel, but you sure seem in distress" -Sasuke laughed softly, he crossed the doors, folding his wings behind his back. "You're still weak and your fevers have barely gone away, I don't want you to over excert yourself "
"Thanks" - the young mage stopped fidgeting in the strong arms and let himself rest his head over his chest. They arrived at a stream not far away from their new home, Sasuke could sense they were alone so he slowly removed the robe of the blushing mortal as he sat him down in the shallow part of the river.
"You smell" - the god teased, the blonde's eyes widened as he blushed, Sasuke laughed at him. "I'm just teasing you, let me take care of you, idiot" - he gestured towards the water, a nice breeze settled around them and the water stilled, a few spheres of clear water rose and gently fell over the blonde hair.the droplets slid over muscled arms, the broad expanse of his back and a few tattoos over the back that marked his prowess as a resptable mage. The boy had grown so much since he first met him, Sasuke traced the muscles with his fingertips. How old was he now? Time moved so differently for them.
"You're so different now" - he noted, his long crystal nails tracing the ink on his body and the taut muscles.
"I'm not a boy anymore, you just noticed? It's been six years since we met and i went on my journey" - Naruto said with a laugh
"does it still hurt?" - Sasuke took the injured ankle in his hands, surprising Naruto as he kissed around the wound, the blonde stiffened, not because it had hurt.
"I think this wound will never entirely heal, the hatred and pain that was infused in that poison is something that i have never seen before"
Sasuke pulled him closer, his hands lathering soap over him, washing him so gently as if he would break. Naruto did not complain, he just let the god take care of him, feeling content with the interaction. He was almost falling asleep under the god's ministrations, feeling once again weak after a few minutes outside, he felt himself fall to the side, his head suddenly cradled by strong arms. Next time he woke up he was tucked in bed, the starry night visible from the faraway window.
As the days passed and Naruto's strength gradually returned. He had found himself returning to the routine of daily life, Sasuke observed as the mage limped slightly as he tended to his beautiful garden, the wound had long healed but a permanent limp had affected the boy who refused to even complain, a constant reminder of the curse inflicted by the deceased sage.
With careful hands and a heart filled with love for his home, he planted rows of medicinal herbs, and fruits. Sasuke as a spirit had no desire or need for food but had thourouly enjoyed as he bit one of the strawberries out the blonde's hand, the boy had almost lost his footing in a nervous mess.
The garden had flourished under Naruto's care, its vibrant colors and fragrant blooms a testament to the magic that flowed through the land. Sasuke had wanted to help, so one night he poured some of his spirit into the land so the flowers and herbs grew faster and taller but the blonde had pouted angrily. "Not everything in life needs magic, watching the pass of time, the natural progress of things is magic itself" - he said as he tenderly picked a flower in his hands. Sasuke had smiled, the blonde was so full of surprises, he loved that about the human mage.
Sasuke took the flower from the tender grasp and tucked it into the blonde locks oh hair. He took his hands and helped him stand, it was funny to him how Naruto seem to call on light when his heart was full of emotions, as some white and yellow orbs came forth from the very soil.
He leaned down to capture the rosy lips in a kiss, slowly prying so the young mage opened his mouth for his taking, his taste was sweet. "For thousands of years i have existed in this earth, but not really lived, until i met you and i learned to appreciate the world around you, to see the beauty even in the smallest things" - Sasuke leaned again to kiss the mage, Naruto let go of his staff to embrace the taller man, his arms circling his neck.
"It was meant to be" - Naruto whispered against his lips, they kissed without haste, without a care. "Let's go inside" - the blonde invited shyly, taking the larger hand in his, leading the raven inside, unknown to him Sasuke could hear his thundering heart beat and slight nervous fluctuations in his aura.
With a flick of his wrist, the god closed the doors behind him, his predatory gaze fixed on the nervous mess in front of him.
"We don't have to" - he whispered, his hand catching a loose strand of blonde hair that had fallen out of the ponytail. Naruto shook his head, a few freckles visible through the blush.
"i want to" - Naruto took a step forward, taking the pale hand and placing it over his racing heart. Sasuke wondered what this all felt like to the mortal boy, his emotions and senses were not the same as humans, he wondered if this was what they described as love or adoration. "I want you" - Naruto lifted his gaze to the black pair of eyes that reflected the starry sky, he licked his lips nervously, he knew that Sasuke would not reject him but he still awaited nervously for his answer. Sasuke closed the small gap between them, he took the blonde by the waist and pressed his body against the smaller one. His mind and body screamed in agony, in hunger as he pushed the blonde towards the wooden table, the vials tinkled as the crashed against each other. Naruto moaned, his breathing fast and labored. Sasuke removed the robe from the blonde, his fingers tracing the visible veins and hard muscles, he leaned to kiss every expanse of body visible, his canines bit into the neck making Naruto gasp, his tan hands griping Sasuke's naked waist.
Sasuke's wings fluttered, he moved them to cover the blonde, the feather's ticking mage, he giggled into the kiss and Sasuke felt his heart hurt with love. The boy underneath squirmed, he could feel the tightness in his pants, and Naruto in his pure nakedness was already hard.
"You're beautiful" - his nails trailed down to Naruto's member, making him gasp and tremble.
"Take this off" - Naruto pulled his pants with a pout making the older man smirk
"is there something there that you want?" - he teased, Naruto couldn't have turn any more red.
Sasuke lowered his pants, being both naked admiring each other was overwhelming. Sasuke noted from the corner of his eyes how some of the candles had lit up, the flames dancing a slow dance to an inaudible song, the plants inside the temple grew greener and brighter and the floweres bloomed, Naruto's unconscious doing.
The raven took the mortal boy in his hands and lifted him on top of the table, he was not done admiring the other's body, he would never have enough of his sight but his sould and body were asking for release, he hungered the other. Naruto reached for a vial, the god quirked his eyebrow but his surprised face soon turned to pleasure. Naruto opened the vial and poured the liquid over his hands, at first his hands moved gingerly but after hearing the other moan he moved his hands firmly, Sasuke threw his head back, biting his lip to stiffle a moan.
"Can i?" - he mumbled, his breathing erratic. Naruto nodded, he opened his legs to wrap them around the pale hips. Slowly and carefully the raven pushed in, Naruto hung on to him for dear life, his nails leaving crescent moon indents on his back. The oily comtents of the vial made it easier for him to penetrate the mage, once he was fully inside he let his forehead rest against the other, they shared a kiss and a soft smile.
"Move" - Naruto placed his hand tenderly on a pale cheek, he kissed him once again, biting his lower lip and inviting him to move by pulling his hips. Sasuke groaned, he couldn't think, he drunk, he felt dizzy, he felt so full of emotions far different from the once he had ever felt and as he moved inside the blonde he reaffirmed his feelings for the mortal. Naruto groaned and moaned, calling his name wantonly, he clawed at his back and yelled once he came to completion, all candle lights going off with the sheer will of the mage; Sasuke followed, filling Naruto with his essence.
"i love you" - Naruto mumbled, Sasuke pulled out, he reached for a towel to clean the blonde, he did not speak a word, but he didn't have to because Naruto saw, he knew that Sasuke's spirit, his sould was now tainted with his love for him, he was his without the need of a binding vow, he was Naruto's out of love.
