Chapter 13

Posted on August 1st, 2024

The next day when Sasuke wakes up with a certain untypical giddiness in his chest. He ends up cleaning his (already spotless) apartment. He goes and does his dry-cleaning, pumps gas, and makes sure he has reservations for the night. If his body felt hungover from the previous night, his mental focus and anticipation for the date with Naruto more than made up for any inconvenience left after a night of drinking.

In the early afternoon, he talks to Naruto on the phone. He doesn't tell her where he'll be taking her, but lets her know he'll be picking her up at eight and to wear something formal.

"I think I have something here that you'll like," Naruto's husky voice and laugh send a shiver down Sasuke's spine. He could practically feel her lips moving so close to the phone.

Sasuke looks at his composed expression and steely black eyes in the mirror as he buttons up his dress shirt. If a few months ago someone had suggested to him that he'd be anticipating a date with some girl like an average love-struck fool, he would not have even grazed that person with an answer to their insane talk. He puts on cologne – as he rubs on the fragrance, he remembers Naruto complimenting him on how he smells with that lust-filled voice of hers before mouthing at his neck. The memory instantly has Sasuke's pupils dilating.

Sasuke expects the evening to go as planned – take Naruto to a nice place, finally get a moment to sit alone and get to know each other. Sasuke was more than aware how the blonde influenced his typical composure and control… so the ending of the night was up to them. If last time they'd seen each was anything to judge by, they had some making up to do.

Naruto had asked him to pick her close to the university theatre. Sasuke is there a bit early, leaning on his black SUV when Naruto comes out. The sun is setting down and she looks absolutely stunning walking to him in a black evening elegantly shiny dress contrasted against the pink-orange clouds. Her shoulders are pulled back and her bright blue eyes are sparkling.

In that moment, Sasuke feels something warm finally settle deep in his chest. Any residual conflict he had left about whether he wanted to do this- and do it fully - vanished as he watched her make her way to him. Her presence and energy zapped him wake every time, but at the same time embraced and soothed him.

Sasuke walks up to her and they intertwine their fingers together. Neither of them say anything for a moment, just look at each other and smile. He kisses her then – out there, in the open, a move completely untypical for the Uchiha. He find he doesn't care if his classmates or teachers or brother saw. He was down bad in love. Naruto had thrown his Uchiha reservations in the trash and torn his chest open for giddiness and happiness he hadn't allowed himself to feel since he was a child.

Naruto's arms are around his neck as their mouths and tongues move against each other. Sasuke holds her face and feels he could say so many things at once that the words just don't come and both of them just laugh.

"I'm starting to miss your scrubs," Naruto remarks jokingly and completely clears the atmosphere.

"You can come and play a patient any time you'd like if it was up to me." Sasuke takes her around the car and opens the door for her to get in.

"Yeah! I'm sure Tsunade-baa-chan would be happy to see me every day!"

Sasuke shakes his head amused as he gets into his seat, "I still can't believe you talk about our medical director so casually. She is terrifying to most people."

"So are you," Naruto remarks and leans in to nibble at his jaw. Sasuke laughs again. He can already feel his facial muscles starting to get sore. Naruto touched something genuine and deep inside him that allowed him to feel unguarded and light like when he was child, before his parents were killed and before he had iced out the world.

Sasuke pulls back to take in Naruto sitting there in the privacy of his car, on his leather seats – regal and elegant, her aura fills the space around. Her dress hugs her torso in all the right areas, leaving her elegant collarbones, shoulders, and a glimpse of the swell of her breasts uncovered.

"You look like a movie star," Sasuke lets out, a note of awe in his tone.

Naruto lets out that husky laugh that has Sasuke's pants tightening. She feels warm having the dark onyx eyes sliding over her body. She leans in and kisses at Sasuke's lips and jaw. "Maybe one day I will be one and nobody will believe you went out with me."

It was a joke in the typical playful way for the blonde. But when Sasuke's black eyes immediately level her with possessive, icy anger, Naruto's breath hitches.

"I am not planning on giving you to anyone else." Sasuke had her pinned with his eyes. The hand on Naruto's hip tightened. Electricity ran through Naruto from the roots of her hair down to her toes. The certainty in the man's eyes and tone had Naruto's pupils dilating and pressing down into her seat harder. It made her feel tiny and protected and desired and she wanted him right now.

She pulls him down by his tie the same time Sasuke dives for her mouth. Their mouths were open in a dirty, lustful kiss. Both were grabbing at each other like they were starved. It was an overpowering game until Naruto let Sasuke almost fully sink into her seat and cover her.

Her fingers were tangled in his hair as he was lapping at her neck and the swell of her breasts. Then, Sasuke gripped the sides of Naruto's seat so hard his knuckles went white, and withdrew from her.

Sasuke got off the car to collect himself. He breathed heavily, trying to collect himself, will down the erection straining against his pants. He wanted to them to the restaurant still. He didn't risk turning around because he knew one look from Naruto and he would be fucking her in the back of his SUV in the middle of campus. Really he could do so little to keep his composure around her. It would be a truly humoristic situation – Uchiha Sasuke, the most composed student in the entire university, arrested for fucking in the middle of campus.

He fixes his tie up and rakes fingers through his hair.

"We should get going if we're going to make it on time." Sasuke says getting back into the car. He closes the door and grips the stirring wheel to ground himself. Naruto's burning gaze on him has him feverish. He wills himself to look straight at the road as he pulls out of campus.

It's as if Naruto had scented the air with her wicked scent because Sasuke could swear he is breathing her in. His jaw hurts from clenching it so hard in his restraint.

A few blocks in and they stop at a red light. Sasuke has apparently been reduced to a weaker man because he gives in and looks at her – Naruto is leaning against the passenger door, drinking him in with her darkened eyes. Her dress straps are still pulled down the way Sasuke had left them and he could see the wetness of his own mouth glistening on her neck still. Her eyes are sliding up and down his face and body, her lip caught between her teeth.

Sasuke's resolve breaks.

He makes a u-turn with screeching tires the moment oncoming traffic is stopped by a red light. Apparently he really was a lesser man.

Naruto immediately moves over to him, lapping at his jaw and neck. Her fingers work to undo his tie. Sasuke breathes in deeply. His foot sinks into the gas pedal. Luckily, the evening traffic isn't horrible and the man is able to change lanes fast and pass people. Sasuke's eyes roll back as Naruto bites at his neck and more of her weight comes into his seat, her torso leaning against him. Sasuke was grateful Naruto had the sense to not touch his erection and make them crash.

"Sasuke…ugh! pull over," her voice is raspy and lust-drenched. Sasuke wills himself to let go of the pressure on the gas pedal – if he got pulled over now, not to be dramatic, but he felt he could just die.

"I'm not pulling over. Not in the car. I want you in my bed."

The steely resolve and the command in Sasuke's voice makes Naruto cross her legs together to get some friction. The obvious clenching of his jaw and hands around the stirring wheel to keep his composure have Naruto feeling dizzy. Sasuke's composure and cold resolve had been what attracted her to him first. She eyes the obvious straining in his pants – her mouth salivates at the sight but wills herself to behave with them being in a moving vehicle.

The next minutes until they make it back to Sasuke's apartment have Sasuke in a delirium. He could swear it had felt like his apartment was in another country and not just a few streets away.

He pulls into his parking spot with screeching tires. Naruto immediately pulls him down on her the moment they are stationary. Their kissing is hungry and desperate. When Naruto reaches down for the button of Sasuke's pants, he catches her wrists. He pulls away from her, "Not here," he reminds her. His voice is but a growl. His eyebrows are knit together and his jaw is clenched. He comes around and all but pulls Naruto out of her seat.

Naruto plays with him in the elevator, tempting him and drawing him in. Sasuke swears he will lose his mind with how hard he has to hold back.

"Are you going to fuck me, Sasuke?" She asks him in the most lewd and lustful way and Sasuke loses it. He pushes her face-first into wall of the elevator and presses his body against hers. She moans and meows as Sasuke presses his hard dick against her ass and lower back. He is gripping her hips thrusting into her through their clothes. When the elevator beeps and the doors open, Sasuke wills his resolve one last time to get them out and through the door of his apartment. Naruto is hanging on his neck licking and biting at his exposed chest as he unlocks the door – when had she torn his shirt open?

Once they're inside, Sasuke lifts Naruto. She wraps her legs around his waist like a perfect mold. Sasuke presses her against the wall, thrusting against her and ravaging her neck and chest.

"Sasuke, hurry up," Naruto meows against him. He lets her go.

"Not here. In my bed." He commands again. Naruto looks at him with an arched brow - smiles, and lets her dress fall down to the floor. She's not wearing any underwear. She's completely naked under her dress. She'd come to their date naked underneath.

The realization has Sasuke weak at the knees.

Sasuke doesn't realize he is growling as he strides to her. His eyes are molten black lava. If Naruto had any more plans to play around with him, they end as he grabs her and carries her to the bed. Once she's in his bed, he levels the blonde with a predatory gaze. Sasuke's long fingers work to unbutton his dress shirt as he takes in the contrast of Naruto's sun-kissed skin and blonde hair against his immaculate silk white sheets. Her eyes are darkened with lust and a pink shade is spread on her cheeks. Sasuke doesn't know if he's ever wanted anything more than to be inside her.

The view of Naruto spread out on his bed, willing and ready strikes Sasuke deep, beyond the walls he had wrapped his heart with. He feels nauseous with how hard he is.

An impatient tan foot comes up to slide along the hard ridge of Sasuke's pants.

"Are you ever going to get to it, or should I do it myself?" Naruto asks with a raised brow. Sasuke grabs her foot and draws her to him at the edge of the bed. He dives in between her legs, laps at her lower belly, thighs and then tongues that cherry little clit. He licks her gently at first until she gets used to the roughness of his tongue. Sasuke licks rougher and faster as Naruto locks fingers in his hair and her thighs begin spasming. He withdraws for a moment, looks at her from under his eyebrows. He puts in two fingers in his mouth and gets them wet. Then he eases one finger and then the second inside, Naruto clenches around him. Sasuke fuses his tongue and mouth to her clit again, now feeling her spasms and heartbeat deep inside her core.

Naruto pulls Sasuke's face completely on her pussy as she cums. Sasuke feels the rapid heartbeat and visceral spasms as she cums around his fingers and on his tongue.

Naruto lays back on the bed, boneless and fucked out. She only hears the zipper of Sasuke's pants and feels the dip on the bed. Sasuke moves her around, gets between her legs and attacks her mouth with hunger. Naruto reaches down for him – his dick is red and angry; he hisses when Naruto palms him. She rolls his balls with the heal of her palm and palms the heavy erection.

"Sasuke… if this is your first time, we can slow down. I can-"

"No. You've been driving me insane for months. There is no way we're stopping now." Such an admission about someone else's influence over his Uchiha self carried quite a weight. Naruto recognizes how truly out of Sasuke's normally stoic and composed character it is to admit something like that. The predatorial and possessive way Sasuke is looking at her has something small and earnest inside her coil up in pleasure and satisfaction. The fact that Sasuke allowed her such power to influence him both surprised and excited Naruto.

"I want to fuck you raw. I want to feel you around me." Sasuke speaks against Naruto's ear as he eases his fingers inside and fucks her with them. His hot breath against her skin and his words make Naruto break out in goosebumps.

"God, Sasuke. Yesss… I'm on the pill. Just hurry up." She claws at his biceps and opens up her throat for Sasuke to lap and bite on.

Sasuke kneels in between the blonde's legs and pushes them open and up almost over her shoulders. When he eases inside, he does so slowly, fucking against the tightness of her core. Sasuke is taking huge breaths in through his nose and his jaw muscles are nearly spasming with how tightly they're clenched. Naruto was clawing at Sasuke's biceps and chest – he was big and thick and every little bit making its way inside her felt like someone had set fire low in her belly and was melting and tickling her insides. Shocks of pleasure centralized in her lower belly as Sasuke begins thrusting into her.

Sasuke himself is almost blind from pleasure. He moves Naruto's legs over his shoulders and cages her under him. He kisses her face and throat and bites her in a fit of possessiveness and the need to claim. He doesn't mean to spare her any marks that show the world whose bed she was in. Naruto's legs are shaking, she's screaming and has her nails deep in his back and shoulders. Naruto doesn't even attempt to control the moans and cries of pleasure as Sasuke sets a brutal pace that has tears coming up at her waterline from how totally fucked out she feels. There's not a single coherent thought as she cums around his dick. The deep, visceral clenching of her core around his erection cuts off any chance for Sasuke to last any longer. It was a quick and dirty fuck after months of building up. He fucks his cum inside her and fucks her through her orgasm.

With the last bit of strength Sasuke lets himself fall half on the blonde and half on the bed. When Sasuke comes to, it's completely dark outside. He moves his hand up from Naruto's belly up to her breasts and caresses her torso and face. Naruto wakes up and looks at him. Her eyes are hazed. Her lazy, liquified smile has the corners of his mouth curling upward.

"And you're sure you've never done this before?" Naruto teases as she lounges against the pillows. Her muscles are relaxed and she sounds blissfully sleepy.

Sasuke huffs, "Hn. Usuratonkachi. I learn fast." Sasuke's tone is laced with the typical Uchiha pride. Sasuke had assumed correctly that Naruto had had sex before given how forward she was (although her whole personality made it impossible to not notice her).

"Don't get up on a high horse, Uchiha. You probably can't even keep up." Naruto laughs. Sasuke's facial features become suddenly schooled. He pulls her flush to his chest and levels her with his black eyes. He may not have been her first, but after being inside her, Sasuke's intention of not letting another man around her had completely solidified. If his Uchiha personality was any warmer than an iceberg, he would have told her how he felt about her. He would have told her he had the full intention of being the only man in her bed – and yes, he could keep up. But his Uchiha blood and stubbornness didn't allow him to do such a thing yet. Instead, he grabs her leg and hooks it around his waist, then slips back inside her.

After Sasuke had demonstrated to Naruto that he could more than keep up, the couple had come out of the shower. Naruto is brushing her teeth with a new toothbrush Sasuke had given her. Sasuke comes back into the bedroom, thanking someone on the phone and hanging up. He hands Naruto her dress that she had discarded in the living room.

"Still hungry?"

It's well past midnight when they make it to the restaurant. Naruto eyes the dark outside of the restaurant suspiciously – it looked closed. She was okay with ordering pizza at home and never leaving the bed, but Sasuke had insisted on going through with their evening plans.

As they near the door, the host comes out and greets them, much to Naruto's surprise. "Mr. Uchiha. Miss. Welcome in."

Sasuke is guiding Naruto with a hand on her lower back. They make it to the very back of the restaurant and into the garden where all but one tables are cleared out. The lighting is intimate and cozy. The waiters bring them champagne and some appetizers. Sasuke moves to sit next to Naruto and directs her attention to the stage in the garden.

A violinist comes out and plays for them. As if that wasn't enough to Naruto's surprise, a man comes out to sit and play the piano followed by an opera singer with several arias. Naruto is brought to tears with the power of the performance in such an intimate setting. They were playing for their ears only. Naruto closes her eyes, warm tears streaming down her cheeks. The blonde hadn't been at the opera since her mother had passed. The vibrations of the music and the singer's voice was as if passing through her skin and bones to vibrate inside her chest. She mouths the words of the arias. With her eyes closed, she could hear her mother rehearsing the same arias years ago at home. It brought Naruto comfort and wrung her heart bloodless at the same time.

Sasuke regards Naruto, an arm wrapped around her shoulders and the other on her hip. He had seen the tears come almost immediately when the singing had started. Naruto had looked at him surprised, understanding now why Sasuke was adamant that they come. When tears fall down Naruto's cheeks, Sasuke pulls her closer and kisses her head. He is mesmerized with watching her sing quietly along with the singer. All her bravado and mischievousness was gone now. Sasuke felt he was seeing naked for the first time again tonight, this time in a completely different way.

If Sasuke had thought that he was in love at the beginning of the evening, the astronomical weight of his feelings now that he'd been inside her and seen her in this vulnerable and profoundly intimate moment was beyond anything he'd thought he'd feel toward another human being. Nobody had ever impressed him or held his interest before Naruto. He definitely had not felt the desire to keep anyone at his side before Naruto. With her, he already felt the depth of the tunnels she'd dug through the thick walls of his heart in a ridiculously short amount of time.

When the opera singer thanks them and wishes them a good night, they clap for her. Naruto has a huge, genuine smile on her face. She dries her tears and looks at Sasuke, his face just inches away from hers. "Sasuke. You.. this… the singer. The music. Everything is just… perfect. Thank you. I've never seen anything more perfect."

Sasuke had. It was sitting right next to him. They kiss gently. A slow, languid kiss, full with gentleness and care and gratitude and something that neither of them was ready to name yet.

They remain sitting next to each other through the whole dinner. They enjoy their food and the privacy of their service. They talk about mundane and interesting things, Naruto tells him about a new play she's working on which leads her to tell him several funny stories. They laugh and kiss and remain sitting next to each other.

"Sasuke, thank you. Genuinely." Naruto is looking at him with those blue eyes. "This is the best surprise I've ever gotten. The best artistic experience I've ever been to. Thank you for doing something so special for me."

Being much more expressive with his action than with words, Sasuke holds her face and kisses her tenderly. He's glad they had got sex out of the way before coming here. It opened up the doors for them to enjoy each other more deeply emotionally now that they had taken care of the carnal (at least for now).

Sasuke feels like huffing. He couldn't believe he was concerned about getting to know someone emotionally. This year so far had proven to be full of turn-arounds for the young Uchiha.

When they're on their way to the car, Sasuke stops and turns around when he hears someone talking to Naruto.

"You're Kushina's daughter, aren't you?"

The opera singer from earlier is standing in the antre. Naruto looks at the woman, surprised, and takes a few steps toward her. "Yes. Did you know her?"

The woman huffs and smiles. "Did I know her! She used to bring you around when you were little. You always ran around and touched our props and make-up." The woman makes her way to Naruto, and holds her face to regard her. "My, how you've grown! You look so much like your mother, but you have Minato's eyes and hair. You're even more beautiful than your mother, if that's possible. Ah, Kushina! If you could just see your little girl."

The woman's words and the memory of her mother have Naruto tearing up again. The woman draws her in and caresses her hair. "There, sweet girl. I didn't mean to upset you." She speaks in Naruto's ear. "The young man with you… The way he looks at you. Even right now. Minato looked at Kushina like that. We all saw and to be honest, we were all jealous," she laughs.

On the way home, Naruto is quietly sobbing in the car. Sasuke didn't know what the woman had said to Naruto that had touched and upset her so much and he wasn't going to ask now. He was sure it had provoked memories of her parents. He had to blink a few times himself to fight off tears – he knew the feeling well. Naruto was lodged even deeper than he thought, and he stopped trying to fight it. He had buried his entire emotionality after his parents' death, where Naruto seems to have cried it out. He hadn't cried for his parents in well over a decade.

He rubbed soothing circles on her thigh and held her hand as they drove home.

"My apartment is on the right two traffic lights down. You should drop me off there. I don't think I'm up for anything else tonight." Naruto offers quietly and stills her sobs. He doesn't see the way Sasuke's eyes heat up at her suggestion but she does feel that he holds her leg tighter.

"It's out of the question. You're coming home with me." Sasuke had made sure there was no follow-up question about where Naruto was sleeping. She was grateful for the experience but the woman's words and the fact that she knew her parents had stirred her so deeply emotionally that she didn't seem to be able to get a grip. She briefly worried that she was putting off Sasuke with it being their first real date and her crying all the way home, but the Uchiha had been categorical that she was not going home without him.

At home, they undress and brush their teeth. Naruto washes her face with cold water, having finally stopped sobbing. The blue of her eyes stands out more now with them being pink from crying. Her cheekbones are flushed from the emotion and from rubbing away tears.

She didn't think she'd be up to it, but as soon as she feels Sasuke's arms around her holding her for sleep, she cranes her head up to brush her lips on his. Their kiss becomes slow lovemaking—unhurried, visceral, and more profound than they could verbalize right now. They finally fall asleep well into the early dawn.

I could honestly just end it here and call it a day. But it's not me if there's not a bit of angst in there 😭 See next time
