Chapter 25
Naruto parked his car and got out before setting the lock, He had just arrived back from Itachi’s. He walked to the door, preoccupied by the discussion he had with Itachi and walked right into somebody. He stepped back, bracing the person he walked into, “I’m so sorry, I wasn’t looking where I was go-” he looked up, “Sasuke?”
He looked at the dark haired man in front of him and sighed, “What are you doing here? I thought we already talked about this. Do I have any of your stuff or something?”
Sasuke looked down at what he was holding, “Is that lobster?”
Naruto shrugged, “Dinner. Why are you here?”
When Sasuke remained silent Naruto looked away and walked past him to the garage entrance of his building, he didn’t want to deal with this right now. Sasuke cut him off abruptly at the entrance and Naruto stopped, running a hand through his hair, “What do you want?”
Sasuke pushed off the door and grabbed his shirt before kissing him. Naruto stiffened with surprise and didn’t move. The black-haired man bit his lower lip lightly and Naruto’s lips parted, he dropped the lobster. Sasuke took the opportunity to explore Naruto’s mouth. Naruto remained frozen until Sasuke did that thing with his tongue that drove him crazy and groaned, grabbing Sasuke and kissing him back. It was only after after Sasuke’s hands ventured under his shirt did he snap out of it. Naruto pulled away, gasping, and rubbed at his lips with his fingers. Dilated black pupils in blue eyes stared at Sasuke, “Why did you do that?” Naruto asked.
“To prove that you still love me, that you still want me.”
Naruto stared at the man in front of him and never felt more of an urge to hit or fuck someone, he licked his lips, “Those are two different things.”
“You still love me and you still want me. You’ve proved your point. We’ll talk more from now on or whatever it is that you want. It’s time for you to break up with Kimimaro and stop being so stubborn.”
Naruto felt anger flash through him and he picked up the container he dropped to keep his hands busy, “You still don’t seem to understand. We are over, done, dead. We aren’t getting back together.”
“Why?” Sasuke demanded, “You love me, you want me. That kiss proved it all.”
Naruto laughed bitterly, “And that obviously doesn’t mean a thing to you. So why should it mean anything to me? So what if I love you? That doesn’t mean I want a relationship with you. And it certainly won’t kill me if I’m not with you, in fact it would probably do me some good.”
Naruto was about to continue when he looked at Sasuke and saw the hurt in his eyes, he sighed, “Sasuke... you and me- we aren’t good for each other. All we’ve done is hurt each other so it’s better if we’re apart. I’m moving on, there is nothing here for us, so just stop this. If you really love me you’ll give me that. This is for both our sakes,” he moved past Sasuke and opened the door that connected to his apartment.
From the corner of his eye Naruto saw Sasuke shake his head.
“This isn’t over,” Sasuke said quietly.
“Unfortunately it is, let it go. Do you really think I wanted things to happen like this, to end this way?”
“He’ll never replace me. The guy you’re supposedly ‘moving on’ with. You love me, you’re only running.”
“I’m not trying to replace you, Sasuke. And the one doing the running for all those years definitely wasn’t me.” The door closed behind him, blocking his view of Sasuke.
He made his way up to his apartment and looked at the closed door of his best friend’s room before deciding that he didn’t want to talk to him. He sat heavily on the couch and put his head in his hands. Everything that had just happened came rushing back and he felt ashamed for responding, “I’m not trying to replace you, Sasuke. I’m trying to erase you,” he whispered into the darkness.
He picked up the container with the fresh lobster and made his way to the kitchen before putting the container on the counter. He placed his five gallon stockpot on the stove and put a liter of water in before adding salt and a steaming rack near the bottom. When the water came to a boil he added the lobster, ignoring the screeching and scratching happening in the pot. While he waited he steamed some baby carrots in another pot for ten minutes. When the baby carrots were done steaming he heated butter in a non-stick skillet before adding some minced garlic and ginger. After about a minute he took it of the heat and added the baby carrot and some cilantro to the pot, stirring it around. By the time he was done with the Steamed Carrots with Garlic Ginger Butter the lobster was done steaming so he took it out.
Naruto cracked the lobster open and extracted the meat before dished the food onto two plates and added a couple of lemon wedges to each plate. He set the plates on the table before looking in the wine cooler and pulling out a 2005 Argyle Nuthouse Chardonnay, when that too was on the table he knocked on Shikamaru’s door.
Shikamaru came out and looked at the dinner on the table, an eyebrow rose, “Special occasion?”
Naruto shrugged, “Not really.”
Shikamaru grabbed a couple of wine glasses and set them at their table places before pouring them both a glass. They sat down and ate in mostly silence until Shikamaru broke the silence, “What’s wrong?”
Naruto didn’t look up, “Nothing, just saw Sasuke.”
Shikamaru frowned, brows drawing down, “You saw him? At Itachi’s?”
Naruto shook his head, “No, before I came up from the garage.”
The frown deepened, “He’s stalking you?”
Naruto shrugged and stood up, gathering the empty dishes and sticking them in the dishwasher. He grabbed his jacket and his keys and headed to the door.
“Where are you going?” Shikamaru asked.
Naruto shrugged again, “Kimimaro’s.”
“What else is wrong?”
Naruto looked over his shoulder at him from the door, “Nothing.” He left.
Shikamaru looked at the closed door and bit his lip, something was very wrong. He went back to his room and picked up his phone before calling Itachi.
Itachi answered on the first ring, “Itachi Uchiha.”
“It’s Shikamaru,” he responded, “Do you want to come over?”
There was silence on the line for a little while before Itachi answered, “I’m at a dinner meeting right now but I don’t mind coming after. Is Naruto there?”
“No, he just left. Apparently he just had an upsetting meeting with your brother. Did you know Sasuke’s stalking him?”
“Is he? How amusing,” Itachi replied.
“Yeah, amusing,” Shikamaru stated flatly.
“I should wrap this up in about thirty minutes so I’ll see you in an hour at the latest. Is that alright with you?”
“Yeah, I’ll see you later then.” Both hung up and Shikamaru went back to his room, he had a few things to take care of before Itachi arrived.
***
Naruto got to the right apartment and knocked on the door. Kimimaro answered and Naruto could see the brief surprise in his eyes before he stepped aside to let Naruto in, “What are you doing here, Naruto?”
Naruto smiled wanly, “Can’t a guy visit his boyfriend?”
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.”
Kimimaro frowned but let it go, he headed towards the kitchen, “Do you want anything?”
Naruto pushed Kimimaro against the wall, arms caging him in before whispering against his lips, “Yeah. You.” He closed the distance between them.
