A/N: Sorry for the delay. Just went from a night shift job to a day shift. Was in and out of hospital since my gran was sick. Fell in and out of love. Broke someone's heart. Got mine broke…in short real life swamped me. But I hope this chapter makes up for it.
Everyone who reviewed, THANK YOU! It really helped me keep going in these 'dark times' lol! Huggles.

Chapter 4:
Naruto was wondering how to play this. He thought about making a break for the bathroom but his instincts were telling him not to move even a muscle, Sasuke seemed like a predator just waiting for him to make a move so he could pounce. The staring match continued for a while, each man unwilling to give in and so forced to look at each other, facing the thoughts they were having for each other.
Sasuke's peripheral vision, despite his eyes not straying from the younger man's face was giving him quite a good view of Naruto's scrumptious torso. Contradicting urges reared within him, one wanting to punch the lights out of the boy and the other wanting to touch him. Sasuke brain used the time standing still to quickly calculate which reaction would be more beneficial and less dangerous. Then…Naruto moved.
Naruto had also made quick calculations and concluded that the staring match was going nowhere, he hadn't done anything horrendous enough to merit Sasuke's present rage and most of all he wanted to get clothed. So he languidly slid out of bed, keeping the sheets wrapped around him as he made his way to the dresser. At some point along the way, he found himself lifted off his feet and harshly slammed into the floor below. Naruto swore, the stupid bastard had actually pounced…which would have funny if it hadn't hurt like the devil.
Sasuke was trying to stop himself from short circuiting as his hands came in contact with Naruto's flawless caramel shoulders, the smooth skin giving him a rather slippery grip. It brought to mind why Naruto wasn't wearing anything and what he had been doing in order to get slippery. So Sasuke did the only thing he could think of. He punched him.
Naruto's head snapped to the right, the punch to his jaw making him see stars. But all his training didn't go to waste, since he was able to get himself together enough to throw the brunet off him and get to his feet. He rubbed his jaw a little and then turned to regard his foster brother and the fury-filled black eyes.
"What the heck was that for?"
Sasuke almost snarled before getting a grip on himself. His sanity was slowly seeping back into him and for the life of him; he couldn't find a plausible answer. Which brother would punch his sibling for having sex? They would actually do the opposite. He opted to deflect the question. "Is she your girlfriend?"
Naruto raised his eyebrow, cool blue eyes not wavering from Sasuke's angry ones. "No. But why would it matter?"
"Of course it matters…this is my house, I have a right to know if you're bringing your entire harem in here. You could have told me…what now? You go from suicidal freak to playboy?" Sasuke righted one of the chairs he'd toppled as he pounced and sat down on it. "I'm supposed to be making sure you're well adjusted and normal! You go from one fucking extreme to another! I mean you're only seventeen for crying out loud!"
Naruto's face had gone tight and the blue eyes weren't cool any longer. "Hypocrite. You lost your virginity to Kiba when you were my age!" he revelled in the shock that swamped Sasuke's features. "You think I don't know? You should learn to keep your door closed."
"No one was home!"
Naruto grinned, a bitter edge to it. "I was. If you'd only bothered to check before he went at you like a bitch in heat…" the blond smirked. "Well, I never thought Kiba would let you top…"
They looked at each other for a while and then Sasuke stood up. "You're grounded for the rest of the week…"
Naruto shook his head. "No, I'm not Sasuke." Then gripped by one final act of madness, the scenes of Sasuke and Kiba playing in his mind stoking his anger, he walked right up to his foster brother, noting the pale, firm jaw and those beautiful pissed off eyes and put his face up close. "My sex life is my own and none of your business." He was pleased at the grimace that tugged at those perfect lips; he had Sasuke's complete attention. "Unless, you want it to be…"
Naruto kissed him.
It was a short, stupid act of madness. The moment the blond's lips touched Sasuke's; it was like electricity surging through the two of them. Sasuke's lips moved of their own accord, captured Naruto's and kissing him fully for a few seconds before his brain tapped him on the shoulder, sucker punched him and bound him in the chains of sobriety.
Naruto, for the second time in the evening, found himself on the floor; he was looking up into Sasuke's wide and terrified eyes, before the brunet was gone accompanied by the sound of the door slamming shut in the opposite room. The blond sat still for a few minutes in utter silence before letting his eyes slip closed and lying back on the floor, mind swamped in memories.

Flashback:
It wasn't that Sasuke's door wasn't closed…but that Naruto had been in the room that day. Sasuke had finally come home for summer, but only because Itachi had kidnapped him and forced him to. As per the norm for the last four years, Sasuke had taken little to no notice of his youngest brother; it had worsened after he left home it seemed. At least when he lived in the same house, he'd had to give Naruto some attention. He would be turning eighteen in five days.
Eighteen…the big one. Naruto was excited. A major part of his life was focused on getting back into Sasuke's good graces, though he didn't have any idea why he wasn't in them in the first place. No one was home. He decided that he could sneak into Sasuke's room and look around to see if he could find something which could give him a clue on what to get his Sasu-nii for his birthday.
Sasuke's room was not too different from before, if more sterile. His closet, at a right angle to the bed was open, with a suitcase half way inside and clothes falling out of it. Naruto spent a good hour looking at everything in the room, still completely clueless. Yes, Sasuke's sketchbook was almost finished, but Naruto had gotten him one last year. He'd found out that Sasuke's martial arts Gi was torn, but then again he didn't know if Mikoto was taking care of that. He sighed, his older brother was way too impersonal…there was nothing worth looking at here. Nothing that said screamed 'Sasuke' except for his lingering scent over everything there. Finally Naruto headed to the suitcase and carefully began going through its contents.
There were clothes, final year text books; drawings…Naruto thought he might give up. Finally he came across a medium sized album covered in handmade paper. There was a note with it.
Sasuke,
I hope this helps you remember us and all the fun times. Fill it with new pictures from college and vacations too!
Ino
Naruto turned the pages and found the pictures were mostly of Sasuke, Kiba, Ino and Neji. There random ones from college and many more from the last three vacations he'd come back home for. Each picture was neatly caption with date, location and a one-liner.
Naruto didn't even realise he had sat down on Sasuke's bed as he cradled the open album. He slowly looked through all the pictures one by one, some taken by friends at college and some here. A strong feeling of longing gripped him as he saw one or two pictures of Sasuke laughing; he wished he could have been a part of it, like before. He really missed Sasuke. His fingers traced the smile in one picture at a café…
Suddenly he heard voices. They were close and getting closer very quickly. Naruto grabbed the album and bolted into the closet, pulling the suitcase in with him and closing the doors as much as possible, which left a sliver for him to see through.
Sasuke walked in followed by Kiba. The scruffier brunet shut the door behind him and looked at Sasuke with his eyebrow raised and a small smile on his lips. The raven smiled back and shook his head.
"Is that all you're thinking of Kiba?"
Kiba walked up to the bed and threw himself on it, grinning suggestively. "Well we did go buy those rubbers. Did you just want to keep them in your wallet to stare at?"
Sasuke laughed out loud looking particularly delectable in that sleeveless wife beater. He walked up to the bed and climbed on knees between Kiba's legs, lying on top of the brunet. He bent down to slowly kiss him. The kiss stretched on for a long while, neither of the boys aware of the intruder sitting wide-eyed in the closet.
It was the first time Naruto had seen Sasuke kiss anyone. Though for some reason, it hurt unbearably that Sasuke was kissing Kiba, Naruto couldn't help but be transfigured by the way that perfect jaw moved into the kiss or that strong, lean body moving over Kiba's. The blond's eyes trailed over the way Kiba's hands slid over Sasuke, pulling up the wife beater and getting it off. More clothes followed the wife beater and both boys really got into their little activity of cherry-popping.
Naruto clutched at the door in some confusion, knowing he should either find a way out or not look, but he couldn't help it. Puberty had come a tad early and Sasuke really was a treat. The blond bit his lip and ended up watching the whole show. At least, he preserved his dignity by not jacking off in his foster brother's closet while watching said brother lose his virginity to some low-class dog boy.
It wouldn't be enough to state that Naruto hated Kiba now. The same Kiba who had always seemed like a rival. When Sasuke had cast him off, Naruto had tried to shake the niggling feeling that he had lost to Kiba. Now he truly had.
The two boys on the bed lay entwined and sated in a state of sleepy bliss. Kiba ran his hands lightly over Sasuke and smiled. "That was awesome…"
Sasuke only smiled and kissed his boyfriend languidly before snuggling closer and closing his eyes. Within minutes both the boys were asleep. Naruto slowly and painfully tiptoed out of the room, thanking his stars that neither woke up.
Kiba watched the figure stealthily make a get-away before pulling his sleeping boyfriend closer. He gave a tiny smirk…seems the brat had learned who Sasuke belonged to.
In his own room, Naruto battled with the many thoughts and feelings swirling in his head. The scenes would haunt him for almost every night from then on…regardless of how his feelings for Sasuke would change after the death of his parents.
Flashback ends

Uchiha's had a place in their heads where they could lock up all their little secrets and transgressions while they continued through life with their impassive masks firmly on. Unfortunately for Sasuke the lock to that particular compartment of his brain seemed stuck. Stuck on replaying that kiss again and again.
It showed him just how much he'd wanted to do that all his life. Now that he'd gotten one taste of it, it seemed like his own mind would torture him with it. He sighed. It had been a week since then and Naruto had hung around him (generally in his boxers, on fortunate days with a t-shirt) trying to tempt him. The problem for Sasuke was that though he knew what the blond was doing, it was taking a mountain load of self control to pretend nothing was happening. He knew his impassive mask was cracking immensely. But what he really had trouble understanding was why the blond would go to such lengths just to be rebellious? Did he have to go this far just to show Sasuke that he could do whatever he wanted?
He wondered whether he should go home. Naruto was still bringing back girls, only now they seemed to stay until he got home, even if he got home by midnight. Sasuke was treated to all kinds of scenes, sexual and not. He decided he wouldn't go home for now, he hadn't been out in a long while. Naruto would probably not be able to make his date spend the night…hopefully.
He called Ino. He missed going with her and Neji to some club or pub and just whiling time away. The blonde agreed much to Sasuke's relief. But then the relief turned into horror when they ended up meeting Kiba and his bride there, so what was supposed to be a relaxing night out with a friend, turned into something awkward. The whole thing resulted in Sasuke drinking way too much, past the mellow drunk Sasuke to the heavy dead-weight Sasuke…
Ino sighed and adjusted her grip on the raven who was extremely heavy. Sasuke had retired into a drunken vegetative state, punctuated by rare moments of coherency, before slipping back into it which would have been excellent if she didn't have to lug him up to his penthouse. She had refused help from the staff at the ground floor and managed to get him into the elevator. It was easier to keep him propped up in the elevator but the doors pinged open onto the garden in front of this penthouse door.
She grabbed him and half-dragged him to the door. She propped him up next to the door and slipped both hands into his pockets, looking for his key when he suddenly called her name and his arms came up to rest on her shoulders.
Things seemed to swim every time he opened his eyes. As he called Ino's name and she looked up at him questioningly, her blue eyes took on a slightly deeper colour…the kiss replayed and a really-out-of-it Sasuke leaned down to capture her lips in kiss.
Ino was completely taken off guard and swept away by the wave of familiarity in his kiss. It took her a few seconds to come to her senses and pull away. She turned to the right as she did so, only to see that the door was open and two chips of extremely blue ice were glaring at her. Sasuke chose that particular moment to look at their observer and say "Naru!" quite happily before slumping forward on top of her, back in his vegetative state.
Ino wished she could beat him. "Oh hey Naruto-kun…I was just looking for this moron's keys…." She retracted her hands and hauled Sasuke up again. Something about the way Naruto was looking at her had her on the defensive, so she didn't ask him for help.
Instead she dragged Sasuke into the house, turned right and then proceeded up the few stairs before dragging the man into his room. At her back a cold aura followed as she proceeded. She laid Sasuke on the bed and deftly unbuttoned his shirt. She'd seen everything when they were dating anyway and Neji trusted her.
Turning to the dresser she pulled out his sleep shirt and slipped it on him. Then she undid his pants and pulled them off unceremoniously. Feeling Naruto's eyes on the back of her head, she did a few added things like putting his belt in the closet, his pants in the laundry basket, tucked him in and laid out two aspirin as well as a glass of water on his bedside table, before she turned to acknowledge the sunshine haired teenager.
One look at Naruto's face and Ino saw how it was. Well, well…a scheme popped into her head. She smiled at the boy and stepped out of the room forcing him to move aside before shutting the door behind her. "I'll be off then, be careful he gets really grumpy the morning after…"
She made it half-way through the living room before the questioned stopped her in her tracks.
"Are you guys dating?"
Ino had been expecting that. "We were." She deliberately left the future vague for the boy and left after a short goodbye.
Naruto stood for sometime before moving to Sasuke's room and opening the door defiantly. He stared at the dark haired figure in the bed, thinking back to the album he'd found all those years back…when had Sasuke and Ino dated? He frowned bothered by the fact that he was bothered by the thought of them as couple. He'd started out teasing Sasuke and tempting him for the sake of amusement, but now it seemed he really wanted Sasuke…well he'd always wanted Sasuke since the day he saw Sasuke and Kiba…but now he really wanted Sasuke and wanted to do something about it.
He walked up to the bed and found himself sitting down beside the dark haired man. When Sasuke slept, he still looked the same as when Naruto used to cuddle up next to him, just like those memories of a young caring Sasuke. He reached out, placing on hand firmly where Sasuke's bare chest peeked out from the spot where Ino hadn't done up all the buttons. He let his fingers trail down the smooth pale skin, before moving up to the man's throat.
Sasuke was helpless and drunk. A small, bad and dark part of Naruto urged him to just tighten his hold. Strangle the man and escort his life to heaven…but the larger part of him won the majority vote and Naruto's head dipped to slowly brush his lips against the older man's. Sasuke's lips were soft and he stirred as he was kissed softly.
The movement thrust reality, albeit hazily, upon the young blond, who moved away quickly towards the door. Turning he looked at Sasuke's sleeping form once more, before he backed away from the door. The jealousy he felt every time he thought of Ino perturbed him.
He sighed. He wanted Sasuke, but then he knew it bothered Sasuke when he was with someone else. He smirked, a perfect revenge plan forming in his head. With Naruto, horsing around was one thing…but now that he was serious things were going to get worse. The sleeping man had no idea what he was going to be in for in the coming days…

Naruto's fingers deftly turned the locker's knob this way and that, hardly paying attention to the combination before the locker door popped open. As usual, a large number of love letters which had been pushed through the slots came tumbling out, some falling to the floor and others just sitting in a teetering pile.
The blond sighed and bent down to pick them all up. He was never able to just get his things and dash to his class, since there was always a pile blocking his attempts. To his right, Shikamaru let out an appreciative whistle. The bored boy was leaning against the other lockers waiting for Naruto to get his geography book so they could get started on a term project. It was a little after school and they'd decided to stay back and work for an hour before Naruto met his latest fling.
Naruto shook his head, a part of him wondering how shallow people could be. They all knew he wasn't interested in dating, but they still just wanted him…just to be able to boast that they'd been with him too…like he was the latest trend. Finally he found his book and dropped a bunch of the letters in the trash. A few gasps sounded from the students milling around him. He did this everyday but it never stopped.
Shutting his locker, he turned around and his eyes met the most startling green eyes he had ever seen. The sexiest redhead he had ever laid eyes on was standing in front of him. He had a red kanji for 'Ai' tattooed on his forehead and his eyebrows had been shaved off, but he was still utterly delectable.
Naruto gave the boy an uncertain smile. "Hey…"
The shorter boy smirked. "Hey." His voice was deep and close to what Sasuke sounded like. The smirk reminded Naruto of Sasuke too.
The blond shoved Sasuke out of his mind and tried to go around the boy, but the boy didn't budge. He did nothing to move out of the way, which irritated Naruto a little. He didn't want to be late and if this kid had nothing better to say than 'hey', then Naruto wanted to leave…no matter how good looking he was. He moved to slide past the boy, but an arm shot out and blocked his way. The redhead's smirk only widened when he saw annoyance colour the other boy's face.
Naruto frowned. "You got a problem with me?"
The green eyed boy smiled at that and walked right up to Naruto, body to body, his lips close to Naruto's ear. "Yeah…you feel this? That's my problem…"
Naruto's eyes widened at the obvious hard-on the tattooed boy was sporting. He took a step back, but it resulted in the redhead taking a step forward until Naruto was backed into the locker. Green eyes watched him in amusement before the boy went up on his toes a little and caught Naruto's lips in a searing kiss.
Naruto was a little surprised, but he was not to be outdone. Oblivious to where he was, he swung the redhead against the locker and gave the boy another kiss, this time deep and dominant. Then he pulled back and smirked into those slightly dazed eyes before softly saying, "What if I could help you get rid of your problem?"
Gaara blinked and then gave a slow sexy grin. "Interesting. But I don't do one time things…"
Naruto looked at the male in his arms, taking him in fully. "Well…it needn't be a onetime thing…but as of now, I don't do relationships…" He stepped away, heading towards his class, when he stopped and looked over his shoulder, eyes full of lust. "But you're welcome to try changing my mind…"
The red head gave him a long stare. "My name's Gaara…I'll wait for you out front…"
Gaara turned out to be all that Naruto had hoped for. They ended up being friends with benefits. When he felt like it, Naruto took home girls, but sex with Gaara was amazing, so he usually stuck to that. What he didn't tell Gaara was that he sometimes closed his eyes and couldn't help but imagine Sasuke holding him. Naruto had somehow kept Sasuke from Gaara and vice-versa. Gaara knew nothing of his past or Uchiha heritage, since they had completely different classes and Naruto had made sure that news of his Uchiha side didn't leave the classroom…for personal reasons.
But the day Sasuke met Gaara was crazy…all it led to was more confusion.

Itachi put the phone down, feeling ultra-tired. He leaned back in his chair and rubbed either side of his forehead softly, trying to will away the onset of a headache that would only worsen as he stared at his computer or read more files. He missed Kyuubi and his brothers, suddenly wanting everyone around and wanting to just kick off his uppity quality leather shoes to rest.
Itachi met his brothers quite regularly over the weekends, making sure nothing interfered in his family time. This week though, he was brokering a deal that would solve all the company's problems while catapulting them to an international level. The partners had opted for the meeting to be on the weekend, for two full days.
Itachi sighed. He missed the times when he'd gotten free time and didn't have to work like a hobby-horse. Who knew his father would leave the company in such an awful state?

He decided he would see his brothers today. It was a Wednesday, but what the hell? He'd ask his secretary to move up all his meetings, go kidnap Sasuke from work and then head to Sasuke's home early to wait for Naruto to return. Maybe Kyuubi could join them too? He smiled to himself and proceeded to do exactly what he'd planned.
Sasuke had just finished a meeting. He was somewhat happy that the blond hadn't crossed his mind through the whole thing that he had been able to concentrate and go back to what he used to be for a while.
He even did an un-Uchiha thing and whistled to himself as he headed to the elevator, intending to go to his office. Suddenly a weight fell onto his shoulders in the form of an arm. Sasuke found himself looking into dark eyes that mirrored his, as his brother forcefully steered him toward the elevator and then pressed the button for the basement.

"What do you think you're doing here?" Sasuke squawked trying to reach the elevator's 'reset' button, only to have his hands powerfully batted away by his crazy older brother.
As the doors pinged open, Itachi caught his little brother by the scruff of his neck, hauling him off to his red and black sports car and throwing him in.
Then Itachi quickly jumped into the driver's seat, happy when the car revved right away, allowing him to breeze out of the building even before Sasuke had the chance to recover from his 'abduction'.
Which he did as they sped out of the building causing a few screeching tyres and getting a few curses for all their trouble.
"Have you gone mad? What are you doing, Aniki?"
Itachi gave him the Uchiha TM smirk. "Kidnapping you."
Sasuke looked at him like he'd grown a second head. "Have you lost your mind?"
Itachi's expression turned contemplative for just one second before he shook his head. "Nope. I'm blowing off stress..."
The younger man blinked in confusion. "You're Uchiha Itachi...you don't get stressed, nor do you blow off meetings or kidnap your younger brother preventing him from going to his meetings..."
Itachi frowned a little. "What are you trying to say?"
"Where is my real brother? What have you done with him?"
Itachi laughed. "Sasuke, Uchiha's are allowed to lose their minds one in a while. I saw it in grandfather's rule book."
Sasuke took that in a little. As amusing as it was, the Uchiha's did have a 'Uchiha Rule Book' where their strict and arrogant grandfather had penned down rules for how he thought an Uchiha had behaved and if it was down there, then maybe it was okay.
He shrugged. "If you say so..." He pulled out his phone and called his PA to inform him that something important had come up and that he wouldn't be available for the rest of the day.
The two Uchihas drove in a pleased silence; they were each happy that their days had taken an enjoyable turn and were looking forward to having a fun evening with family.

Sasuke checked his watch.
It was still only three; Naruto would only be home by five. Sasuke smiled. Things with Naruto had gotten to the point where they just couldn't have a normal conversation anymore... as much as he hated to admit it, Itachi being there would help. Itachi's presence was the only thing that made the two talk to each other anymore.
They stopped to pick up groceries, all of Naruto's favourite things. Itachi had wheedled a promise that Sasuke would make his famous ramen, which Naruto had really loved the only time he'd tasted it a few years back. Sasuke had grudgingly consented, secretly hoping that it would make things okay between them and futilely wishing that they could go back to being brothers like before.
They made small talk about the last week till they reached Sasuke's home, Sasuke leaving out important bits like how Naruto had kissed him, just sticking to his deal with Ino's father and such like. Itachi approved of it and went on to fill the younger Uchiha on his own deal and why his weekend visit had suddenly been pushed up. Itachi helped Sasuke lug the numerous groceries they had bought.
"So Naruto will be back in two hours? You'd better have the ramen ready, foolish little brother. Things between the two of you should sort itself out." Itachi smirked when he saw some shock colour his brother's blank mask of a face. "You haven't mentioned the boy unless absolutely necessary. I know things."
Sasuke spluttered, but kept his cool. "You do, do you oh omnipotent one?" He pretended to trip and jabbed Itachi in the ribs as they made their way to the door. He managed to unlock the door by slipping the grocery bags further up his arm. He gave his brother a small smile as the door opened to strange noises. Sasuke turned to step in and froze in the doorway for the second time in two weeks.
Naruto was lying on his back on the couch, naked, eyes tightly shut, while a pale red-headed boy rode him. They made the perfect picture of lust, as quiet moans and growl coloured the air around them. Naruto's tan body pumping frantically into the pale one that bounced atop him, their hands tangled as their mouths did when the red head leaned close enough.
It was the sound of the grocery bags hitting the ground with a loud crackle that brought the boys on the couch back to the present world. Blue eyes shot open meeting two sets of black this time. Gaara turned his startling green eyes on the two Uchihas before clambering off Naruto and grabbing at his pants hurriedly.
Emotions boiled up in Sasuke again, but this time, the roiling seemed to peak and something gave. It felt like all his feelings had just drained out leaving just a fleeting shadow.
Naruto hastily shucked on his pants waiting for the inevitable eruption that would surely follow. For some reason Sasuke was standing still like a statue, but not still like he was poised to move; his eyes weren't snapping or anything like the last time. When the raven moved (Naruto flinched as he did), it was only to pick up the grocery bags and begin walking to the kitchen.
He paused when he reached Gaara and then greeted him with a short nod. "Gaara." Then he continued on.
But the red head wasn't about to let it go at that. "Sasuke! What are you doing here?"
The raven placed the grocery bags on the counter quite calmly. "I live here. You didn't know I was Naruto's foster brother?"
Green eyes widened, before the boy spun to face Naruto. "He's your brother?" Not giving Naruto a chance to answer, he turned back to Sasuke, everyone ignoring Itachi still standing at the door. "Please don't tell my father…I…I haven't told him…I mean…"
Sasuke cut him off with a quick shake of his head, his features still calm. "I won't tell him anything." Then he looked up at Naruto, his voice utterly wiped of any feeling. "You boys should just get a room next time. It saves us all this fuss. Itachi?" He looked expectantly at his brother.
Itachi suddenly frowned, annoyed. "Am I missing something? We just walked in on Naruto skipping school and having sex on your couch…and all you're going to say is get a room? What happened to the whole 'I'll be responsible' statement?"
Sasuke sighed in resignation, the air being forced out his nostrils. "I'm too used to this. And it's none of my business who Naruto wants to do." Onyx eyes met sapphires ones, before sliding to Itachi. "I can't be responsible for that. Let it go."
Naruto was never one to sit by quietly when people talked about him like he wasn't there. "Damn right it isn't your business. What I'd like to know is how the fuck you know Gaara…" And why was I not aware of this?
"I do business with Gaara's father. His brother Kankuro and I attended university together."
Naruto's breath suddenly caught in his throat. He'd been messing around with Gaara, using him because he really wanted Sasuke…and now it turned out that they knew each other. Suddenly, he didn't know why, he felt like a tool. Using Gaara hadn't been a problem, but now that Sasuke knew about it…Naruto tried to stop that thought. He'd brought women home all the time…Sasuke should have been jealous…right? So why was he acting all calm? The blond wished the other two men would just disappear, so he could provoke a reaction out of Sasuke. The young Uchiha's reaction had just pulled the carpet out from under Naruto.
Itachi glared at all of them for a bit. He was upset that he wasn't in on whatever was going on here. But then he reasoned with himself. Naruto was a teenager and things like this were bound to happen. So he forced himself to relax and gave a small smirk.
"So boys going to get some clothes on or are you just hanging around trying and failing to be eye candy?"
Naruto let out a disgusted yelp. "Ew…Itachi-nii….you perv!
They did get dressed, Sasuke did make ramen, Itachi did get them to talk normally, Gaara did end up staying for dinner, Kyuubi did end up joining them and then they all finally left. Itachi and Kyuubi giving Gaara a lift home.
God they'd finally left…
Sasuke walked into his room and firmly shut the door behind him. He found himself moving towards his couch to just collapse on it. Somehow it was an effort to breathe. He took another drag of oxygen into his lungs, feeling them reluctantly expand. He concentrated on his breathing till he was ready to go over the day in his head.
Stupid…
He had been stupid. He'd thought he was over Naruto…that somehow things would go back to normal and he'd let his guard down. He'd gone to the boy when he'd had a nightmare; he'd cooked for the boy, been there giving him company when he couldn't sleep…enough. He wasn't aware that he was growling the word in a low voice over and over again. Now it felt like Naruto had him on a leash…to play whenever he felt like it.
Today, he was too tired to feel any of it. The anger, the frustration, the pain, the jealousy…Sasuke lay back on the couch, letting it all wash away. The blond had paraded around tempting him, bringing girls home and all that. So why had he hidden Gaara? Did Gaara mean that much? Was Gaara the boyfriend? Then Naruto had been playing him. Sasuke decided he would just pretend things were normal and get a life apart from the blond and his shit.
He closed his eyes and lay there, his exhausted self setting him adrift into sleep.

Flashback:
It had been two weeks since the time Naruto had forgotten about Sasuke and stayed at Sakura's party. While things were perfectly fine, it felt like the older boy was drifting away from him, little by little. Naruto told himself it was just the guilt talking…that he was the one building a barrier because he had no idea how to make it up to Sasuke.
He couldn't wait for the lunch bell; he was literally dying to see Sasuke. Somehow after that incident his desperation had increased tenfold. He couldn't help but want to be by Sasuke, dote on Sasuke and spend time with him. Once or twice Sakura had come with him too, but Sasuke just seemed to become blank or get annoyed. He wondered if Sasuke really did dislike Sakura…
The bell sounded and Naruto hurriedly packed his things. He and Sasuke were always given packed lunches by Mikoto so he didn't have to head over to the cafeteria and could go straight to where Sasuke was. He leaped up and ran towards the high school grounds. He could see him. He smiled and heard footsteps behind him and saw Sakura with Temujin, another boy who hung with them, trying to catch up to him in the distance.
Sasuke was sitting under a large tree surrounded by kids from different age groups. Some of his old friends from the tenth grade, new additions like Ino and a boy called Kimimaro were all gathered around him. Sometimes Naruto felt awe when he saw his foster brother with his friends. Sasuke was like the glue that kept all the different people from different grades together. Though with these people, Sasuke was usually emotionless, quiet and sometimes a tad arrogant. He also refused to admit that Sasuke was mean. He was only mean to other people.
He ran up to Sasuke, a wide smile on his face and plopped down next to the boy…a spot that Sasuke's friends usually reserved just for him. Every one greeted him with friendly hellos and asked him what was up, like he was a part of this big group of older kids. But Sasuke seemed quiet…his greeting being restricted to a nod instead of the usual hello.
Warning bells should have gone off in Naruto's head but he was too caught up in looking at his raven and trying to update him on everything to really notice the change in Sasuke's demeanour. "So, then Ebisu-sensei said that my project was better than everyone else's and that my art was really good…aren't you proud Sasu-nii? You're an amazing teacher and I told him you…"
"Your friends are here…" Sasuke suddenly interrupted the boy rudely, his voice void of all emotions.
Naruto looked up to see Sakura and Temujin, a smile lighting up his face. "Hey!" Then he turned back to Sasuke and picked up where he left off only to be interrupted again.
"Don't you have anything to do right now?"
Naruto blinked. "Huh? What do you mean?"
"I asked if you had anything to do right now," Sasuke turned a pair of bored onyx eyes on the eight-year old. "Apart from talking to me."
Naruto frowned in confusion. "What do you mean, Sasu-nii? I always talk to you around this time."
"Yes I know. I'm finding it quite boring. Before you came along, Kimimaro and I were having a pretty interesting conversation." Sasuke sighed. "Don't you have any friends of your own?"
Hurt clouded the usually bright blue eyes. "Nii-san, you're being mean. What's wrong with you today?"
Sasuke heaved another sigh and turned away to talk to Kimimaro leaving Naruto looking at him hurt and puzzled. He hated being ignored and he couldn't for the life of him understand why Sasuke would suddenly get mad when he'd been the one encouraging Naruto to come here every day for the whole year. He got a little mad.
"You're the one who said you like me being here!" He was only eight years old and quite capable of being loud or throwing a tantrum when he felt thwarted.
Sasuke turned to him, black eyes showing the faintest signs of annoyance. "Yes I did. But now I want to spend time with my friends and your presence is irritating me. Go play with your own friends, be a little independent!"
It was humiliating to suddenly be treated like an annoying little kid in front of half the high school population, not to mention Temujin and Sakura. He couldn't help it, he was really mad. "You usually hate it when I don't spend time with you! You got so angry when I went to Sakura's party…it was almost like you were jealous or something…"
"Enough." Sasuke face was still a blank mask, but Naruto could see the anger brimming in his eyes. "Seriously, I've had two whole years of this! I felt sorry for the orphan little boy my parents took in and thought I'd help you adjust. I also thought we could be friends…but you're seriously annoying me! I'm five years older than you, I have my own friends and you should go hang with yours instead running after me like a little tail!"
Naruto stood stock still. His wide blue eyes threatened to fill up any second. "But…" He breathed in deep. "Did I do something wrong? Is that why you're acting like this?"
Sasuke exhaled in a long suffering manner. The wide-eyed pink haired git standing behind Naruto was pissing him off too. He was constantly being reminded of his feelings for Naruto and at this moment he couldn't take it anymore. He snagged Naruto's eyes with his own. "Stop. I don't want to hang with you anymore, so just get lost okay?" You forgot about me…
Tears now started to fall hard, flowing down the bewildered boy's face. "Sasuke…"
It tore at Sasuke. The pain of having caused his Naruto to cry threatened to kill him, which incensed him even more. "God, I hate you, Naruto…" He watched the boy's blue eyes widen as much as possible. He shook his head. "You're a selfish little kid, always playing the victim. Always wanting my attention and always pressurising me to do what you want me to do! I can't handle this anymore. I've hung with you enough. I have my own life and I don't think you deserve to be such a huge part of it! Don't hang around me, okay? I really do hate you!"
With that Sasuke turned on his heel, face a blank mask and sauntered off into his building, leaving Naruto sobbing and publically humiliated; hoping all of this would help him cut off from the blond. That Naruto would hate him now and make it easier to forget him.
Unfortunately, only inexperienced teenagers believe it worked that way. Naruto wouldn't leave him alone. While, the boy didn't meet him at school anymore, he dogged the raven everywhere at home. He kept demanding to know why Sasuke hated him and why Sasuke didn't want to hang with him. Finally Sasuke'd gone to his mother and begged her to get the blond off his tail. He hadn't given her the details but just said the kid was getting annoying and the whole thing had quietened down somewhat.
Even when he was hated by Sasuke, Naruto was glad the older boy was still around. He was glad he still got to see his Sasuke. For the next one and half years, Sasuke only spoke to Naruto when he was compelled to.
When he began dating Kiba and Naruto had found out, the blond had moped for weeks, feeling like he'd been one-upped by the dog-boy. But nothing hurt like when Sasuke'd left. Naruto had gone over to Temujin's house for the day. He'd returned to see a few suitcases piled into a cab and Sasuke standing by it. His whole family was outside, Mikoto looking distraught, Itachi looking furious and Fugaku looking resigned.
Naruto had run to the cab, something sinking inside of him. "Sasu-nii! Where are you going?"
The dark haired boy had turned to look at him briefly, his foot tapping the sidewalk impatiently. "College. I got into Mangekyou University in Rice country. So I'm off."
By now the blond had reached Sasuke; he stopped in his tracks – frozen. Sasuke's eyes softened just a little bit and he reached out to ruffle Naruto's hair before turning to his family. "I'm sorry I didn't say anything to you. Father knew, but I wanted to make sure I got in, before I said anything, so I asked him to keep silent about it. I'll be back for the holidays…"
Mikoto grabbed him a hug. She buried her face into his neck, whispering something Naruto could catch. "Why do you hate us so much Sasuke?"
The blond's eyes widened, he watched Sasuke hug his mother back just as tightly for once. "I don't hate you…I just need to get away…"
That was it. Sasuke disentangled himself from his mother, waved goodbye and left. Naruto stood there watching still feeling the hand in his hair while his heart felt like it would chop him up from the inside.
Flashback ends.

Enough.
But the scream continued to shake him up inside; slamming at the doors of his mind and knocking the latch of his heart. It had dug its hooks into him and the raven slid reluctantly out of bed lurching towards the door. Open. Shut. Open. Shut. He was in Naruto's room.
In a practised manner, he sat down by the blond and disentangled the sheets around him, gathering him into his arms. His palms rubbed soothing patterns on the boy's back and hummed quietly. He'd found during one of these comfort sessions that humming helped. When the boy bundled in his arms stopped shaking, he made to leave.
A hand grabbed his and pulled him back onto the bed. Naruto moved closer and shoved his face back into Sasuke's chest. They sat like that for a while, before Sasuke moved away again.
"Do you want milk or anything?" he vowed he'd act normal and ignore what had happened.
"No."
"Do you want me to stay or come over to my room?"
Blue eyes widened and looked searchingly into his own. He kept his face blank. After a moment, the eyes fell. "No."
"Okay, get some sleep. I'll make pancakes for breakfast." He left, shutting the door quietly behind him, oblivious to the blazing eyes behind him.
Naruto sat on the edge of his bed, staring at his door. The moonlight filtered through the glass ceiling giving him an ethereal look. He was pissed. Sasuke was doing it again. This whole 'acting normal' thing always led to Sasuke leaving or distancing himself. He was ignoring everything that had occurred.
"I won't let you…" he growled, a small snarl decorating his firm lips. "I'll keep you. You will fall for me. You will be destroyed and hurt like you did to me. I won't let your ignore me. Just wait and see, Sasuke."

The thumping beats resonated through the club. 'Byakugan' was one of the most exclusive clubs in Konoha. It was another successful venture of Neji's with his friend Deidara and Sasuke had a 'forever-pass'. He'd been coming here for the last four years, since Neji had been running this a year longer than their partnership.
Everyone knew Sasuke at this club and he had many admirers. Blue eyes glared as they saw the dark haired man lounging at one of the booths surrounded by his many sycophants. Naruto was here with his friends because he knew Deidara, a close friend of Itachi's. He didn't have a 'forever-pass', but he'd begged Deidara to allow him to bring his friends here that night.
Unfortunately for him, Sasuke had also ended up there. Naruto couldn't help but send glares over at the dark haired man. Sasuke had started being normal for a week before suddenly distancing himself again. Nothing Naruto did had an impact. It didn't help that Gaara thought he could come over anytime he wanted to, now that Sasuke knew.
Ino was here too. She was sitting next to Sasuke, too close, in Naruto's opinion. She was animatedly chatting with the long red haired girl with glasses who was also sitting way too close to Sasuke. A white haired boy and an orange haired man were having a conversation with the dark haired man which looked pretty intense. More people surrounded them, some just there to fawn over Sasuke. It didn't help that his foster brother hardly noticed him.
Sasuke looked incredible. He was wearing black leather pants with little chains on them and a loose dark green sleeveless Chinese collared shirt with a nice V that showed off that pale defined chest. He had a bored look on his face, like he'd like nothing better than to zone out while listening to the music. He answered the two others with what seemed like monosyllables from where Naruto was sitting.
"Earth to Naruto. You think you'll talk to us? Or will you just glare bloody murder at your brother?"
Naruto scowled at the green-eyed girl. "Sakura…why did he have to be here too?"
Sakura sighed. "It's his partner's club. Why wouldn't he be here?" then she looked over at Ino who was looking beautiful in a tight blue strapless dress. "Are they dating? Though if Sasuke was mine I wouldn't let the red head lean all over him like that…"
Naruto's scowl deepened, eyebrows drawing together and the corner of his lips drawing down. "They were." He took in the picture again. "Look at him with so many sycophants surrounding him. Like he's a god or something…"
Sakura rolled her eyes. "Yes and what are all these people around you?" she whispered. She was right; Naruto had his own little bunch of admirers sitting around trying to get his attention. In his tight blue jeans with a sexy orange and brown sweatshirt over a dark shirt, he made quite a stunning picture. He stretched making the sweat shirt ride up a little. A pale hand suddenly dropped down to trace his abs. He looked over at Gaara and realised he'd been ignoring the boy.
"Hey…"
Gaara just shook his head. "What did he do now to have you glaring at him for the last twenty minutes?"
Naruto shook his head, the blond hair flying this way and that. "Nothing." He exists doesn't he?
He saw Ino stand up and grab Sasuke's hand. She dragged the older boy out onto the dance floor and they began to move against each other. Naruto could hardly drag his eyes away from the picture they made. They were perfect. He'd never seen Sasuke dance before, but boy did he have grace. Those sinuous movements were fucking sexy!
Gaara suddenly huffed and pulled away. "I've had about enough of this. You want to dance?"
Naruto shook his head not even deigning to look away from the raven. Gaara grimaced and turned to one of the girls nearby. Naruto saw them walk away through his peripheral vision but he could care less. After a while Sakura also left to the bathroom, leaving him alone with the bunch surrounding him. Dark eyes suddenly met his as Sasuke ground up against Ino in a particularly sexy way.
Jealousy socked Naruto in the gut, making his mouth tighten. Sasuke smirked and looked away making Naruto wonder what he found so amusing. He reached out and snagged a purple haired girl by the waist, pulling her onto his lap.
"Hey there beautiful…"
The girl tittered blissfully; happy that she'd finally gotten his attention all to herself. She reached up to run her hands over his cheek before working up the nerve to kiss him. Naruto just allowed her to, busy looking at the dancing bastard who was now watching him. Naruto deepened the kiss and ran his fingers through her hair. He heard her give a little moan of satisfaction and felt mighty pleased with himself.
"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" growled a voice close by.
The girl suddenly scrambled off his lap looking horrified. A brown haired man in a bandana stood by him looking murderous, flanked by his equally pissed looking buddies. Naruto raised an eyebrow. "I was making out…but now I'm wondering if you had a good enough reason to interrupt me."
Bandana-boy snarled. "That was my fucking girlfriend you were snogging!"
Naruto sighed. "Well I guess that's good enough." He yawned and looked up at him his blue eyes cool. "Too bad. She kissed me first, so you must have messed up somewhere, maybe you just need more practise."
"You fucking asshole!" Bandana-boy drew his fist back lightening fast. Naruto seeing about to come hurtling down at him, raised his hand to block the punch but it never came.
Looking as cool as cucumber was Sasuke, holding Bandana-boy's arm in a firm grip, while giving Naruto a slightly quizzical look. "You should really stop grabbing whatever's in front of you…you have awful taste…" The deep voice rolled over Naruto completely making him suppress a shudder.
Bandana-boy struggled futilely. "Who the fuck are you? Let me at that bastard!"
Sasuke only tightened his grip. "I'm the bastard's brother. This unfortunately obligates me to protect him. You should really keep your girl in hand don't you think? I saw her come on to him…"
At that Bandana-boy's friend suddenly lashed out, his knee almost catching Sasuke in the stomach. The raven sidestepped and swept the boy's leg out from under him. From then on, things degenerated into an all out brawl.
Naruto jumped in to help Sasuke fight, while Gaara and Sakura jumped in to protect Naruto and Ino jumped in to protect Sasuke. Sasuke shot out with the heel of his hand, neatly breaking an assaulter's nose before his knee came up into the same man's groin quite hard. He saw two men assault Naruto together and spun neatly to pull one off him. He blocked two punches and moved his hands inwards to hit the man's chest with his palms flat, sending him flying into the nearest wall.
Naruto caught Bandana-boy's punch and twisted his hand while blocking the other hand. He managed to get both the boy's hands twisted behind his back and bore him down to the ground. He also punched him twice, hard enough to leave him unconscious.
For some odd reason everyone was fighting. Anything that wasn't bolted down was flying everywhere. Though Bandana-boy and his buddies were down, many other drunken people were assaulting them. Sasuke got taken unawares by a quick punch to his jaw and Naruto had to step in with a quick kick to take down the drunk who'd done it. Sakura and Ino were holding their own quite well, so the 'good' side more like the play boy side was winning.
Sirens suddenly filled the air and panic prevailed among the brawlers. Sakura suddenly ran towards Naruto and Sasuke who were both just getting done with two more men. "You have to leave! Now!"
Sasuke scowled at being told what to do, but Ino turned up to back Sakura's order. "As much as you hate it she's right! Naruto definitely can't be found here brawling. They'll take him away from you and the court battle will have been for nothing. You're also too well known for this to end quietly. Take the back entrance by the kitchen. It'll take them awhile to get there."
Sasuke hesitated for a moment. Then he grabbed his blond foster brother's hand and took off towards the kitchens. The crowd was crazy and panicked which meant more people got in the way and the two did collect a few stray hits. Finally they made it to the entrance and burst out of it. Footsteps sounded to the right, so Sasuke made a break for the left, dragging Naruto with him. They found a small alcove in the wall and pressed up there, hoping the footsteps would continue into the kitchen. They were rewarded when the footsteps began to recede.
Then Sasuke bolted out of there and took off down the street. He was still to let go of his blond, but Naruto kept pace with him quite easily. They continued to run, two or three blocks easily zipping by them as they concentrated on getting as far away from the club as they could. Sasuke finally stopped when they reached a decent looking neighbourhood quite a way from the club. They seemed to be in an alley way between two apartments.
Sasuke leaned against the wall to catch his breath. He panted hard trying to control it and even out his breathing. Naruto was bent over, hands on his knees doing the same thing. Sweat ran down them in rivulets as they silently took their time calming down.
Naruto pulled off his orange sweatshirt and tied it loosely around his waist. Damn… He looked up and caught his foster brother's eyes. They stared at one another for a bit before both their lips twitched. Sasuke's trembling lips parted in a grin following by what sounded like a laugh.
Naruto's eyes widened in shock at the sound and he stared at Sasuke like the raven had grown another head. Sasuke only cracked up harder, sinking to the ground back against the wall. He was shaking with the mirth bubbling out of him; he hadn't laughed like this in ages. Naruto couldn't help but follow once he got over the initial shock and both men collapsed into a heap, chests heaving and faces red with effort.
When they finally subsided, both sitting side by side in friendly silence, Naruto turned to look at Sasuke. The raven still had shadow of a genuine smile stretching his lips, the dark eyes still dancing with mirth and hair all mussed. God he looked beautiful…The raven turned his head to regard Naruto, his expression slowly fading away, replaced with something a little more intense.
"Naruto…"
The blond moved forward and captured his lips softly. They stayed like that for a minute, their lips just softly moving against each other. Then Sasuke's hand came up to tangle in the sunshine blond hair, pulling the younger boy forward, deepening the kiss. Their tongues meshed together running up the roofs of each other's mouths, battling for dominance and running down each other's lips.
Lime:
Naruto, who was on his hands and knees now, crawled up to the dark haired man without breaking the kiss. He straddled him letting his own hands slide into the inky black locks as he plundered the mouth attached to his. He sat down right on top of where Sasuke's leather pants bulged making the raven moan gutturally. Naruto smirked into the kiss and ground down hard, starting a round bump and grind as he continued with the crazily electrifying kisses.
Sasuke hand left his hair and both came down to grab his hips forcing the rhythm to increase. He was painfully hard and if the mad humping was any indication so was Naruto. Both their pants weren't made for this sort of thing.
Naruto felt the button of his jeans being undone. He hadn't even realised that Sasuke hands had left his butt. The sound of his zipper being undone had a moan freeing itself from his throat. The sound of Sasuke's being undone joined that and suddenly Naruto was free. His cock brushed up against Sasuke's making both of them clutch at each other a little more tightly and pant harshly. Sasuke sat up more and guided Naruto in position so they could rub against each other and grind each other into oblivion.
It didn't take long, both having wanted this for so long. The speed built up and soon they were awkwardly letting their lips clash in messy kisses as their seed burst forth in short spurts. Naruto crumpled on top of Sasuke, burying his face in the pale neck. Sasuke's hand came up to rest in Naruto's hair.
Lime ends
Both men lay there, not wanting to look at each other, scared about where things were going. One scared of the consequences and the other twisted by hate and love.
Finally Sasuke let go and got them both zipped and buttoned. Then he looked into blue eyes, his own deathly serious. "We have to stop this…"
