Naruto, his chakra masked, sat on the roof of Sasuke's house and cried.
How had the situation come to this? He knew it was his fault. He'd made choices and decision on his own, in the heat of moments, and maybe they hadn't been the right ones.
How the hell was he supposed to know what to do? For years, his decisions were simple; kill or be killed, spare an enemy for interrogation or kill him on the spot, sleep or keep moving, clones or toad katas. Safety… decisions of the preservation of flesh. Never, ever something like this; never preservation of a heart; of a friendship.
How the hell did he fix this at this point?
He remembered coming home from a mission all those months ago to learn that Sasuke had come home. He'd just barely managed to make it through debrief and get the door to his apartment shut behind him before he'd burst; joy and terror, warring upheavals that found their way to the surface as shaky sobs.
Finally, he'd gotten himself together. He'd cleaned up and, pocketing a scratched and frayed forehead protector…a piece offering…he'd made his way to Sasuke's home.
Getting no response at the door, he'd wondered briefly if the bastard was mission bound again and had sent his chakra out. What he found was...odd. The presence he'd felt was Sasuke's, but it was…wrong.
Naruto found Sasuke in the kitchen. He was balled up in a fetal position under the table, whimpering and crying, his teeth chattering. As Naruto dove under the table and pulled Sasuke into his arms, scanning frantically for an attacker, he could feel absolute terror coming from his teammate.
"Sasuke!" The brunet reeked. He'd pissed himself and fear oozed from him in an acrid mix of sweat and hormones.
Finally having ascertained that they were alone in the house, Naruto gripped Sasuke's head and tried to establish eye contact. He recognized the black markings creeping up his neck and across his face from the cursed seal, but his eyes scared Naruto. They made Sasuke look demented. The tomoes spun out of sync with each other and the irises flickered back and forth between black and red.
"The blood," Sasuke keened. "Don't kill me," he panted, then sobbed, "Kill me, please kill me."
"Sasuke," Naruto whispered.
"Okaasan…Otoosaaaaan…"
Naruto's heart broke. Sasuke was having a flashback and the seal on his neck had taken him out of the reach of any form of reality. He held Sasuke tight and talked, trying to reach some rational part of his friend.
After what felt like agonizing centuries, Sasuke had finally slumped and stared, unblinking in some catatonic state. Naruto knew he wasn't back yet, though, because the flames were still prominent on the pale skin of his neck.
Dear god, his poor friend. What was this? How often did it happen? Did anyone else know about it?
Naruto picked him up and took them both into the shower. He gently washed the sickness and urine from his friend, put him in a clean pair of boxers and tucked him into bed.
He stood by the bedside for a time, watching Sasuke stare unseeing at the ceiling. He didn't want to leave him like this, but there was this niggling thought that feared how Sasuke would react to knowing how Naruto had found him. Pride and dignity had been a foundational part of their childhood relationship.
Finally caving to his deeper yearnings, he crawled into bed with Sasuke and pulled him close. He carded his fingers through drying midnight strands, brushed his lips over the clenched jaw and traced nonsense patterns on knotted back muscles until finally Sasuke was lying limp and breathing evenly.
Naruto had stayed like that for hours. The sun had gone and come again and still Sasuke slept. The brunet had slipped into a normal sleep at some point and had wrapped himself around Naruto.
Naruto had learned several things lying there, his arms full. He'd learned that he'd missed his best friend terribly. He'd pushed it out of his thoughts the last few years, but now it rushed to the forefront of his mind and he didn't know if he could live without Sasuke again now that he was back.
He also learned that he wanted Sasuke. His body was completely out of his control and a constant yearning for the taste and feel of the pale flesh hammered at him. The heat and smell, the sound of a steady heartbeat and the feel of hard muscles and smooth skin made Naruto clench his fists against fine tremors in his limbs.
But he also learned, actually was reminded of something he already knew, that he'd give his life to protect this bastard. He'd do anything to keep this person alive and happy, to give him this home that he'd come back to.
That included protecting his heart and dignity. He tried to imagine the various outcomes of Sasuke waking and finding himself draped over Naruto. And if Sasuke remembered the state he'd been in when Naruto had found him the day before… Without exception every scenario he envisioned was all bad. He needed to get out of here before Sasuke woke up.
So he'd left and had had to leave on his next mission before he could see Sasuke again. Before he'd left, he'd pulled Sakura aside.
"Hey babe, I hear Sasuke's back."
"Yes." She'd smiled with genuine happiness.
"How is he?" he'd asked casually.
"Great. Adjusting. Jumped right into teamwork. Spends a lot of time out in public."
Making a quick decision, Naruto had pulled a scroll out of his pouch, performed some hand seals and gave it to her.
"Ya know, if…anything…if he…" He scratched his head. "If you need me for…anything, you can open this and I'll get the message no matter where I am."
"Naruto?" Her smile slipped.
"Just…keep an eye on him."
It just got weirder after that.
The next time Naruto got back, he knew something was wrong with Sasuke before he'd even passed the gates. He felt an irrational stab of anger that he was the only sage in Konoha. How the hell did a village function with only one?
He'd rushed straight to the Uchiha district and found another disaster. Sasuke was once again caught in the events of the past and had destroyed his living room. He was cut up from broken glass and was lying in a growing pool of blood.
Naruto had sprung into action, trying to reach his friend with touches and words. While a team of clones righted the living room, he'd peeled filthy clothes off the soaking, shivering body and started picking glass and wood splinters out of icy skin.
Then he had an idea. It had never occurred to him before because his missions were always solo, but he wondered now if he couldn't extend his healing ability into another body. Theoretically it should be possible. And so Naruto had learned a new skill that night, invading Sasuke's body with a mix of his and Kyuubi's chakra, healing the cuts and bruises.
There had been a rather alarming side effect to this. Flames still prominently adorning his left side, Sasuke had gasped and gotten a raging hard-on sitting there on the edge of the bed.
Naruto had been stunned when Sasuke had tackled him to the floor and proceeded to try to merge them at the cellular level. He growled and howled and tried to eat the skin off Naruto's face and lips. All the while he ground his lower half frantically into Naruto's crotch.
It was violent and quick and Sasuke was once again scratched and abraded from the coarse fabric, buckles and hooks on Naruto's uniform.
After Naruto's mind cleared from his own earth moving orgasm, he saw that Sasuke was out cold on top of him…and the flames were gone.
Chagrined, Naruto came to learn that sexual release was strong enough to snap Sasuke out of his seal induced flashbacks.
Sasuke was very aggressive with Naruto during these befuddled events. Once, Sasuke had grabbed a hank of Naruto's hair in each fist and shoved his face toward his leaking erection. Naruto resisted, feeling that this was stepping over a line, that this was more than restoring balance to wildly fluctuating chakra.
But from his vantage point near Sasuke's crotch, he looked up the expanse of pale flesh and hard, defined muscles. God's it was the stuff of his dreams. Never in his life had he seen anything more beautiful.
Enraptured, he lowered his head and, with all the ardor that lived inside him, used every skill he'd ever learned to tenderly work Sasuke beyond his delusional state.
Later, as Sasuke slept, Naruto sat on the floor leaning against the bed and tears fell. He felt like a god damned rapist. Sasuke would never, in his right mind, want such a thing from Naruto. He should stop this. He should stay away from Sasuke at all costs.
But now, having seen Sasuke actually hurt himself during these episodes and knowing that he, with his sage connections, was the only one to know if it happened while Sasuke was holed up behind the gates of his home, Naruto was scared to leave.
So he innovated again, creating a lifelike clone to leave when he had to be gone. The clone had to be durable enough to withstand rough physical contact and also be able to think on its feet.
Naruto was really proud of his clone when everything went to hell.
The clone had been hanging out at the bar tapped into the Uchiha across the room when it became aware of the change. The clone had been smart enough to know that blowing the brunet in the middle of the bar was probably a bad idea and had used a bit of intuition wondering if anger would be as effective.
So the clone had picked a fight with the confused Uchiha. Not only had the clone withstood a serious beating without vanishing, but it had done what Naruto would have done; let Sasuke win.
So this is was the fucked up mess that their relationship had devolved to; Naruto stalked Sasuke and if the episodes happened at the manor, jerked him off. If they happened in public, Naruto picked fights.
He gave himself a derisive snort. Of course, Sasuke didn't remember the sex; he was never engaged. Naruto did everything. The fights, however, required Sasuke to first get pissed, and then participate. He remembered every detail. Everyone in Konoha remembered every detail, including Naruto lying on his back, bleeding and defeated.
He should go to Tsunade or tell Sakura, but he'd backed himself into a corner. Eventually he'd have to for Sasuke's sake, but the molestations would come to light and then…
If Sasuke didn't run him through first, he'd be run out of town. Certainly his dreams were over. His dreams of Sasuke's friendship. His dreams of becoming Hokage. His dreams of, one day, not being alone.
