Chapter 5
When he turned off his car in front of the house, he leant his head back against the seat and groaned. Was he really here? Had he really driven all the way to this place? What would he do if the other one wasn't home? Or worse: what if the other man wouldn't welcome him?
He had taken a leap of faith by driving here and he wondered what the hell he was thinking.
Clearly he wasn't, judging by the fact that he was sitting here in front of the house.
Well, all he could do was ring the bell and hope to god that the other man wouldn't laugh in his face and send him away.
Taking a deep breath, he removed his seatbelt and stepped out of the car. Throwing a glance at his vibrating cell phone, he denied the incoming call and turned the device off completely. Naruto closed his eyes for a few seconds to steady himself and then made the trek towards the front door – which suddenly looked intimidating as hell – on unsteady legs. He pressed the buzzer for a couple of seconds and then waited for the homeowner to open the door; rocking slightly back and forth while nerves filled him, his stomach doing odd flips and turns.
He was intently staring at his shoes – wincing at the raffled edges of them, he really needed to buy some new ones soon – when the door suddenly swung open, revealing a shocked dark haired man.
"Naruto? What are you doing here?" Sasuke asked dumbfounded.
Naruto smiled weakly, rubbing the back of his neck. "Can I come in? I – I need a place to stay for the moment."
"Yes, of course, come in," Sasuke said quickly and stepped out of the way so that the blond could enter.
"Sorry for intruding," Naruto murmured and removed his shoes, placing them next to the door.
"Follow me," Sasuke muttered and guided him to the living room where some papers were strewn across the table. "Take a seat. What happened? Why are you here? Not that I'm complaining of course, but … Have you been crying?" Dark eyes widened in shock and it was such a comical sight that Naruto might have laughed if he had been in a better mood.
"I – I confronted Gaara about what you had told me," Naruto explained and took a measured breath to calm down. "He told me that he had taken that treatment, because he didn't want to end up like his father. He thought that adopting a baby would solve everything and would make me forget about the fact that he has been lying to me for four years." Bitterness tainted his voice. Yes, Naruto was no angel, he admitted that freely, but he would never have lied about something that important. He would never have screwed with Gaara's life like that.
"What did you do?"
Blue eyes looked straight into dark ones when Naruto admitted, "I broke up with him. I just can't forgive him for lying to me like that and I can't give up my children's wish for him. I want to have children of my own, I want to feel my baby grow in me and I won't be able to have that if I stay with Gaara. I know I'm being selfish, but I can't stay with him." The last sentence came out in a rather choked voice and Naruto rubbed harshly across his eyes.
"Hey, you're not being selfish. It's perfectly naturally to want to have your own child," Sasuke murmured soothingly. He hesitated visibly. "Why did you come here? I don't mind, but I'm sure that you have friends you could have gone to as well."
"I wanted to be at a place where Gaara wouldn't be able to find me. And …" Naruto paused, wondering whether he was ready to admit it. Well, this was the moment of truth, he supposed. "And something in me was telling me that I needed to come here. That this is the place I'm supposed to be at." He felt himself flush and he stood up, embarrassment filling him. "I'm sorry, I know it sounds incredibly weird and stupid. I can't explain it, not really. I just … Shit, I'll – I'll just go now."
He turned around, ready to leave again – maybe he could crash at Haku's place for a while if his scary boyfriend wasn't in town – when a cool hand closed around his left wrist, stopping him.
"What …"
"Naruto, don't go. Please," Sasuke murmured and something stirred inside his dark eyes. The mysterious scent rose up around them again, slowly thickening the air.
His knees felt weak, his legs trembled and to his utter shock and confusion he suddenly felt something wet and slick sliding between his buttocks over his thighs. Oh god, this couldn't be happening. Not now. Not here. His heat slammed into him with a vengeance that almost knocked his breath out.
A low growl made him whip his head around to stare wide eyed at Sasuke, whose nostrils had flared open and he sniffed audibly, as if he had smelled something and was trying to discern what it was.
Naruto froze when wild, dark eyes fixated themselves on him; the warm, black colour was slowly being replaced by a deep, hypnotizing blood red and a snarl escaped Sasuke, who bared his teeth.
"Mine!"
Before Naruto could form a protest – but did he really want to? – he was harshly tugged forwards and a hand buried itself in his blond hair, gripping the locks tightly, while hungry lips attached themselves to his mouth, kissing him harshly. An insistent tongue pressed against his closed lips, swiping across them and Naruto opened his mouth with a helpless moan, trembling underneath the powerful aura of the Alpha in front of him. The air grew heavy with a mixture of their pheromones and those seemed worse than Naruto was used to. His head was roughly pulled backwards to give the dark haired man the opportunity to plunder his mouth and the blond couldn't help but let out an agreeing groan. He had always liked it rough – his hair being pulled was one of his weaknesses.
Not one to be outdone, Naruto kissed back with a vigour that even shocked him; his hands buried in silky black hair, he pressed back eagerly, giving up some control to the dominant Alpha. Their tongues brushed against each other, playing, rubbing along their palates and Naruto took the opportunity to suck on Sasuke's tongue, his mouth overflowing with Sasuke's unique taste. A taste that left him hungry for more.
Heat was burning his entire body; a heat that could only be quelled by Sasuke's touch. His head was heavy with the thick perfume of their pheromones penetrating the air and he let out a sound of approval, when strong hands slid underneath his arse and pressed upwards, forcing him to swing his legs up and around the older man's waist.
Their hips rubbed against each other with each step forwards and those devious hands massaged and squeezed his buttocks, palming them roughly.
"Fuck, I want you," Sasuke breathed harshly, kicking a door open. The move jostled the blond in his arms a bit, making their bodies rub together and the Omega whimpered. "You don't know how fucking sexy you look now. How sexy and attractive you are the entire time. Do you know how many times I had to hold myself back from taking you there and then? Do you have any idea how crazy you make me feel?" Those last words slipped out in an agitated growl and suddenly Naruto's back made contact with a soft bed and he bounced lightly up and down.
He shivered underneath the hungry stare of blood red eyes and another spike of lust shot through him.
"I wish you could see yourself right now. Maybe next time I place you right in front of a mirror," Sasuke continued hissing while he climbed on the bed and crept forwards like a panther sneaking up on his prey. "Would you like that? Would you like seeing yourself, all hot and sexy, while I take you again and again? Filling you up until you can't even scream anymore?"
"Fuck, Sasuke," Naruto moaned and unconsciously he opened his legs wider, providing the dark haired predator with a space to lie in. He hadn't realised he would also have a thing for dirty talk. Shit, if their clothes didn't come off right this instant, Naruto didn't know what he would do. He felt like he would explode if Sasuke didn't touch him soon.
"Yes, I think you'd like that. I bet it would turn you on a lot, now, wouldn't it?" Sasuke hummed and smirked. His hands shot out and gripped Naruto's shirt tightly, pulling it up roughly.
Naruto willingly complied with the unspoken command and allowed the other man to remove his shirt. He cursed his own trembling fingers when he started opening Sasuke's dark shirt and then cursed the buttons for being so damn difficult and keeping him away from his prize. Finally the last button popped out of its hole and Naruto pushed the cloth back impatiently, his mouth dropping open slightly when he drunk in the sight of firm, abdominal muscles that formed an exquisite six pack. When on earth did the man have time to work out to have muscles like that?
"Like what you see?" Sasuke smirked and roughly wrenched Naruto's jeans down, throwing it on the floor as soon as he removed it.
"Can't complain," Naruto managed to bring out and brought his eyes back to Sasuke's face with quite some difficulty. Who knew this man was so ripped?
"Hm, glad to hear that." Lips attached themselves to a spot in his neck and Naruto let out a breathy moan when he felt his skin being sucked between those lips. That surely would leave a bruise behind.
The thought of a physical mark only served to excite him more for some reason.
Naruto trailed his mouth across Sasuke's collarbone, tasting the faint tang of salt while his hands busied themselves with opening Sasuke's belt and trousers. Hey, if he had to be nearly naked, then it was only fair if the other man was in an equal state of undressed.
When he finally managed to push down the annoying trousers, he felt himself flush when he caught sight of the prominent bulge in Sasuke's dark blue underwear. Fuck, this man was just the whole package, huh?
"Oh god," he moaned partly in shock, partly in pleasure, when nails pinched his nipple, which felt even more sensitive to the touch than usual. He nearly crowed in pleasure when a hot tongue lavished his other nipple with much needed attention and almost bent double when teeth carefully closed around the hard pebble, tugging at it softly.
It didn't matter where Sasuke touched him: every nerve in his body was alight with pleasure, burning, and making him wish for more. He writhed underneath his touch, his own hands dancing across pale skin, touching firm muscles, tracing them; thumbs rubbed over pale nipples until they hardened underneath his fondling.
And throughout all that, that peculiar scent filled the air between them, making his body feel both light and heavy.
"You don't know how long I've fantasized about this," Sasuke whispered hotly in his ear and his long, slender fingers dipped underneath Naruto's underwear. "How long I thought about having you here in my bed, naked, and completely mine. God, you feel even more amazing than I imagined."
"You wouldn't leave me alone in my dreams," Naruto admitted breathlessly, nosing Sasuke's cheek, brushing his hand against his lower stomach. "Almost every god damn night I would dream about you."
"Hm, I bet that made you feel frustrated, huh?" Sasuke murmured with a devious smile. His red eyes glinted. "I'll take full responsibility for that." And with that, he ripped off Naruto's underwear, exposing him completely to his hungry gaze.
His eyes closed and a look of obvious delight crossed his aristocratic face when he inhaled deeply. "Fuck, you smell irresistible."
Naruto would feel embarrassed about being put on display like that, but instead he bucked his hips, opening his legs even wider and the wetness between his legs grew worse. Lust and desire coursed through his body and the only coherent thought in his mind was that he wanted to be fucked now. He wanted Sasuke to take him and to not hold back.
"You should see yourself right now," Sasuke murmured, leering. His fingers slipped between Naruto's arse cheeks, brushing against his wet opening. The tip of his index finger swirled across his entrance, dipping teasingly inside, while his other hand gently fondled Naruto's balls. "So wet already. Do you want it that much, hm?"
"Yes, yes, I want it!" Naruto retorted frustrated and squirmed, pushing against those slender fingers to deepen the pressure. Instead they retreated and he whined in frustration.
"Say it. Say you want this, say you want me," Sasuke demanded almost feverishly and his hands gripped Naruto's hips tightly.
"I want this; I want you. Damn it, Sasuke, I want you to fuck me!" Naruto snarled, more frustrated than he had ever felt before. He was this close to physically manhandling the Alpha until he was on his back, so that Naruto could take charge.
"Was that so difficult?" Sasuke asked rhetorically, but before the blond could deliver a sharp retort, the dark haired man bent his head, engulfing Naruto's hard, leaking cock completely in his mouth, while one finger slipped inside, past his rim, aided by the natural lubrication that by now was practically leaking from Naruto's arse.
While he bobbed his head up and down, taking Naruto's prick deeper inside his mouth every time he went down, driving the blond wild with the sucking and licking, his tongue swirling across his leaking tip, pressing teasingly against it, he quickly inserted a second finger to properly stretch the blond, not minding Naruto's tight grip on his hair. His fingers stretched Naruto's entrance, pressing deeper and they spread inside the blond, working on opening him thoroughly.
"God, Sasuke," Naruto moaned and arched his back, not knowing whether to push forwards, to get more of that heavenly heat, that wet tongue that felt like pure heaven around his cock, or push back to feel those fingers deeper inside of him. His hips bucked uncontrollably and he had given up on holding back as soon as he noticed that Sasuke didn't mind it – in fact he seemed to welcome it, judging by the appreciative moans that made his throat vibrate and drove Naruto absolutely wild when his dick was surrounded by those vibrating muscles.
He nearly howled with pleasure when three fingers hit his spot firmly, almost jabbing against it and sparks of pleasure burst inside of him. His legs trembled and shook and he unconsciously tightened them around Sasuke's head while his hands scrambled across the rumpled bedsheets, trying to find something to ground him through the blinding pleasure when those fingers mercilessly kept pressing against his prostate, massaging it, and his inner muscles rippled around them, drawing them in further.
"What? No, no, no! You can't stop, you can't stop now!" Naruto babbled almost in desperation when both that sinful mouth and those long fingers left him, making him feel bereft, but mostly empty. He needed the other man inside of him now, he needed to feel him, feel his cock throbbing deep inside of him, he needed him buried deeply inside until nothing could separate them anymore.
The dark chuckle made him tense and breathe shallowly with open mouth. His eyes grew wide when he locked them onto hungry, red eyes, blazing with passion and lust.
"Oh, I won't stop," Sasuke assured him with a dark smirk. He stood up, removed his underwear and riffled through a drawer of his nightstand, clearly not minding how Naruto was taking in his naked body with an almost ravenous hunger, swallowing with difficulty when he took notice of the long, thick cock that looked an almost angry red when it finally had escaped the confines of Sasuke's underwear.
Yeah, Sasuke was definitely blessed by Mother Nature. And he belonged to Naruto now.
The blond didn't even question the possessive feeling that coursed through him at the sight of Sasuke and simply rose up, leaning back on his hands, while he kept his legs spread wide; unknowingly releasing even more of his pheromones in the air.
He heard Sasuke inhale deeply again and the next moment, the man was seated in front of him again, his eyes focused on Naruto's private parts; the red in his eyes gleamed oddly in the dying sunlight.
"Seems like you're ready, hm?" he asked, his hand caressing one firm thigh softly.
"Get on with it!" Naruto huffed and wiggled his arse, not caring one wit how it would look like to an outsider. He was burning up and their combined scents were driving him completely mad.
When Sasuke wasn't fast enough to cover his prick with the clear lubrication gel to Naruto's liking, the blond took matters in his own hands – literally, as he started stroking his cock, wrapping his hand firmly around it, his thumb rubbing across his leaking slit, not liking how close he had been to the edge before Sasuke had abruptly stopped.
"Oh no, you don't!" Sasuke growled and he gripped Naruto's hand tightly, stopping him. "The only way you're going to come is with my cock buried in you!"
"Fuck me then already!" Naruto snapped, his patience hanging on a thin thread. His chest heaved up and down; sweat had already started to coat his body and the heat in his belly was slumbering, waiting for the moment to finally erupt.
"You asked for it!" Sasuke snarled and before Naruto could even attempt to do something, strong hands wrenched open his thighs and Sasuke thrusted into him, shoving his thick cock past his twitching, stretched, glistening rim, not stopping until he was completely buried inside the Omega. Naruto's inner muscles clamped down around the sudden invasion, which only served Sasuke's cock to grow even harder – a feat Naruto hadn't thought was possible.
Naruto yelled half in pain and half in pleasure as his body was forced to adapt around Sasuke, not used to accommodate someone of Sasuke's size. His breath left him in quick, shallow pants and he wrapped his arms around Sasuke's neck, his thighs quivering around Sasuke's hips.
"Okay?" Sasuke murmured; his face displaying his pleasure clearly. He nosed Naruto's cheek as apology for the lack of warning. His cock throbbed inside Naruto, letting the blond know how impatient Sasuke was to start moving.
"Yeah, yeah, move," Naruto ordered breathlessly, blinking rapidly to get rid of the haze that formed a film in front of his eyes.
A quick grin and narrowed eyes were his answer and the next moment, Naruto threw his head back with a shout when Sasuke set an unforgiving rhythm, battering his insides, snapping their hips together; burying his cock deeply inside with every thrust. Naruto felt like he was being split in half; the burning edge of pain slowly gave away to an overwhelming, blinding pleasure. Unwillingly his inner muscles clamped around Sasuke's cock, every time he slid back inside, as if his body didn't want to let go of the dark haired Alpha. One hand wandered restlessly up and down over Naruto's chest, tweaking his nipples, dipping into his navel, brushing across his lower stomach … while the other hand had gripped Naruto's right hand tightly, their fingers entangled, while Sasuke pressed their hands to the mattress, next to Naruto's head.
Their mouths sought each other and they exchanged hungry kisses; shallow ones when their breathing became too harsh and irregular. Deep ones with passion pouring through them; their tongues curling around each other, stroking, caressing while their lips reddened, bruised due to the force they used to press their lips together.
Each touch, each stroke, each thrust left a trail of blazing heat behind and Naruto vaguely wondered whether he would just combust, explode in millions of pieces.
It wouldn't be a bad way to go.
Naruto had never felt like this before; this overwhelmed, this desired. Sasuke was playing his body like he was already familiar with it. He knew which places to touch to make Naruto go wild, which places to tease until the blond begged him for more.
His head was foggy with the pheromones dancing in the air and the stream of moans, whimpers, groans and babbling should have made him feel embarrassed, but for the first time he didn't care about that. He let himself go, freed his inhibitions, instinctively trusting Sasuke to catch him when he fell.
"Fuck, you feel so amazing, so tight around me, so fucking gorgeous" Sasuke practically cooed in his ear and his next jarring thrust made Naruto keen loudly. "You're completely mine now; nobody is going to take you from me! You're all mine; mine to love, mine to keep, mine to touch …"
Sasuke's possessive ranting should have scared him, or at the very least make him wary, but instead it made him feel satisfied; his Omega purring like a maniac at the praise and litany of ownership that the Alpha was showering him with. This was how it should be, this was how it should feel like. Nothing would ever take this away from him.
Naruto howled when Sasuke suddenly threw his legs over his shoulders, forcing him nearly double and he sped up even more, until Naruto's teeth practically rattled with the force of his thrusts.
The pleasure kept steadily building, heat pooling in his stomach like lava and he was a sobbing mess by the time Sasuke slid his hand between their bodies to stroke his leaking, weeping cock.
"SASUKE!" Naruto screamed when he was forcefully thrusted over the edge; pleasure filling him, waving over him like water crashing against rocks, while his body shook violently; his come spurting out almost violently, coating his stomach and parts of his chest. He yelped when, still in the throes of passion, he felt teeth clamping down harshly on the spot where his neck went over into his shoulder. His skin throbbed and burned and he gasped when Sasuke pulled back, a smear of blood tainting his lips.
A weak whimper was torn from his sore throat when he felt warmth welling up in him; Sasuke's hips stuttering against his while he moaned lowly in Naruto's ear. His seed filled Naruto's channel until it overflowed, dripping out of his stretched and raw entrance.
Their eyes held each other for a long moment, before their lips found each other in a slow, deep kiss; Naruto lapping at the faint taste of iron.
Throughout the entire night, they joined their bodies again and again, in various positions, until they were finally sated and fell asleep together, tangled together; their fingers entangled.
"So you finally got all your stuff out of the house? And your two cats?" Deidara asked, while he took another bite of his turkey sandwich.
Naruto sighed and took a sip from his cold water. "Yeah, he agreed to let me have the two cats. I was the one who brought them home, so he didn't mind that I took them with me." He grimaced at the feeling of sweat sliding down his neck. Even in the mall, the hot June sun was unforgiving; hot rays of sunlight made their way through every window, illuminating the large hallways.
"So how is it? Living with Sasuke-kun?" the older blond asked hesitatingly.
"It's … overwhelming," Naruto decided after a pause. Almost out of habit now, his fingers touched the spot between his shoulder and neck – a spot that would forever be slightly bruised and swollen, no matter how much time would pass.
A finger traced the sore bite mark, placed right between his neck and his shoulder. A place that everyone would be able to see unless he sufficiently covered it.
Cerulean blue eyes stared at the reflection of his naked upper body in the bathroom mirror; his entire chest was covered in red marks and dark finger prints – evidence of their night together.
"You gave me the Mark," Naruto spoke up when he became aware of the other man's presence in the room.
"I did," Sasuke replied calmly, even though it hadn't been a question.
"Why?"
Hands closed around his hips and warm lips pressed a tender kiss on his naked shoulder. Dark eyes – still with a hint of blood red around the pupil – caught his eyes in the mirror. "I meant what I said, Naruto. You're mine. I'm not planning on giving you up." Fingers tightened on his hips and thumbs started to caress his jutting hipbones. "And I'm not ashamed to show it either. With this Mark," he brushed his mouth over the throbbing mark, making the blond shiver and swallow audibly, "everyone will know that you belong to me."
"We barely know each other," Naruto whispered; his eyes half lidded at the pleasure that slowly started to rise again when Sasuke's hand teasingly dipped between his legs.
"Maybe, but we have time to get to know each other," Sasuke murmured, nosing his neck.
"But what if …"
"Do you know why your body reacted so fiercely yesterday?" the Alpha interrupted him abruptly.
His cheeks filled with blood; a sheen of red embarrassment dusting his cheekbones. "I – I don't know. I never …"
"Reacted like that before?" Sasuke finished his sentence knowingly and raised his hand until it covered Naruto's chest, right on top of his heart.
Naruto nodded numbly; his heart started to beat quicker in response to Sasuke's presence.
"I've suspected this for a long time, but I wasn't certain until yesterday," the dark haired man murmured and brought his other hand up to trace a finger over Naruto's lips. "Have you heard about the term 'soulmates'?"
"Yes, of course. Every child grows up with that story." Naruto furrowed his eyebrows, trying to discern where Sasuke was taking this conversation. "What does that have to do with us?"
"Soulmates are said to react very strong towards each other's presence. They are drawn to each other; they can't resist the other one, no matter how hard they try," Sasuke murmured; his breath caressing Naruto's neck. "They are two halves of one whole. They can only find true happiness and love with each other."
"What are you saying?" Naruto laughed nervously; his fingers twitching slightly. "That we're soulmates?"
Sasuke narrowed his eyes slightly at the incredulous tone in Naruto's voice. "Are you going to deny what you feel? Look me right in the eyes and tell me that you haven't felt an odd pull between us since the moment we met."
Naruto lowered his eyes; his cheeks burning brighter. No, he couldn't say he had not felt the pull between them. It had been there from the very beginning, but he had foolishly thought he could ignore it.
"So you think … you think we're soulmates?" Naruto asked hesitatingly.
Two pale fingers turned his head and a sweet kiss was delivered to his mouth.
"I don't think so – I know we're soulmates." Black eyes looked at him tenderly – a look that stole his breath. "And that's why I can't let you go. I want you to live with me from now on. I spent too much time alone and now that I've finally found you, I don't want to get separated again."
And so, Naruto had moved in with Sasuke. The days following after that had been filled with a lot of talking, getting to know each other and a lot of making love. Their heats were worse than either one had ever experienced before and it was almost a miracle that they remembered that they still had lives outside of their own little world.
After almost two weeks had gone by, Naruto had met up with Gaara again – with Sasuke acting as his shadow. The Alpha had absolutely refused to let Naruto meet up with Gaara alone. The Omega didn't know whether that possessiveness and wariness were fuelled by their spectacular heats – the Alpha not wanting his Omega to be surrounded by another Alpha – or by the fact that their bond was so strong; stronger than a bond between mates usually was. After a lot of arguments, Naruto had finally acquiesced to having Sasuke accompany him.
Both Alpha had not been pleased to see each other again – and that was mildly put. Gaara had nearly launched himself at Sasuke, who looked ready to rip him apart with his unnaturally glowing red eyes, if Naruto hadn't put himself between the two angry men, demanding a ceasefire.
Gaara had pleaded with him, wanting a second chance, but even if Naruto hadn't been bonded for life with Sasuke through the Mark – something that had made Gaara clench his teeth audibly – he didn't think he would have been able to give the red haired Alpha another chance. He still loved him – it was hard to stop loving him after four years together – but it wasn't enough to make him stay with the man.
Naruto knew he had hurt the green eyed man severely and had stayed out of his way for a couple of weeks to give him time and space.
Only a week ago had he removed all his stuff from the house, taking Shukaku and Kurama with him. Gaara had been mostly silent throughout the process of clearing Naruto's possessions, keeping a wary eye on Sasuke, who had insisted on helping Naruto. When they had been ready to leave, Gaara had offered his hand, saying that he hoped they could still be friends after their wounds had healed.
Despite the abrupt ending of their relationship, Naruto wasn't ready to say goodbye to Gaara completely and he had reassured the man that he wanted to stay friends. But they had to give it time first. To heal their wounds.
"Would you mind telling me why you keep touching your neck?" Deidara inquired curiously, raising a blond eyebrow.
Naruto felt his cheeks warm and he lowered the neckline of his shirt briefly, showing the older blond his Mark. "Sasuke gave me the Mark," he admitted; still shocked at the fact that the man had readily bonded them for life. Something Gaara had always refused to do. Sasuke was carrying a similar Mark, having insisted that Naruto bit him as well, so that they were truly bonded.
Every time Naruto thought about his Mark on Sasuke's body, the ball of possessiveness and pride swelled in his body. That man was completely his. Nobody else would ever have the pleasure of calling that man theirs. That was a right only reserved for Naruto.
Their relationship might have started off quite explosively, but the blond couldn't say that he regretted it.
"You don't look surprised," Naruto noted when Deidara merely blinked at his admission and went back to his sandwich.
Deidara shrugged; a glint of amusement lurking in his baby blue eyes. "Well, it was kind of obvious that he likes you. It was only a matter of time before he made his move. So the fact that he Marked you isn't very surprising, un."
"Obvious to whom?!" Naruto cried out genuinely confused. Until Sasuke had admitted that he had been attracted to Naruto for a very long time, he had assumed that only he had been severely affected by the curious scent – a scent that had been another sign of them being soulmates apparently.
Deidara snickered. "I thought you would have recognised the signs by now, considering you have been around Itachi for years."
"Yeah, but Itachi wasn't courting me," Naruto pointed out sullenly.
"Hm, is Sasuke-kun courting you officially now?" the older Omega asked slyly.
Naruto couldn't help but blush when he recalled the deep red roses he had received a week ago and the box of chocolates which only contained the purest and most expensive chocolate in the country. Or the week before that when he had arrived home to find a path formed by rose petals which had led him to their large bedroom, where Sasuke had been waiting for him with a bottle of champagne. Sasuke had even been trying to replace his old car with a new one, assuring the blond that he had more than enough money to afford it, but Naruto had put his foot down. It was one thing to receive expensive chocolate – it was a whole other thing to receive a new car.
Overall, though, Sasuke was really trying his best to court Naruto, woo him seriously. Naruto thought it was silly, because he was already Sasuke's and the man was his, but the doctor insisted on it, stating he wanted to do it right.
"But are you back on suppressants then?" Deidara questioned, cocking his head to the left.
"Huh? Oh no, why?"
"Well, ever since you went off those suppressants, you smelled quite fertile, but you don't smell like that now," Deidara replied, looking quite confused. "So I thought you were back on suppressants, because your scent seems to have changed."
"That's not the smell of suppressants, Deidara," Itachi remarked dryly, when he sauntered over to their table. He had just finished work and had apparently driven straight to the mall from his office, as he was still wearing his suit. "That's the smell of an expecting Omega."
Silence for a moment.
Then …
"Wait, what? What the hell are you talking about, Itachi?" Naruto retorted perplexed.
Itachi raised an eyebrow and gave him a look, as if he wanted to ask whether Naruto was seriously that stupid.
The blond bristled in annoyance. "Seriously, what the hell are you blabbing? What do you mean, 'expecting'?"
Suddenly Deidara grabbed his hands tightly between his own and his eyes glittered excitedly, while a wide grin spread on his face. "Naruto-kun, Itachi means that you smell pregnant! You're expecting a baby, un!"
Naruto shook his head, dazed. "What? No, that can't be true. I'm not pregnant; that's just not possible," he blabbed, but his heart had already started to beat faster.
Could it be? No, it couldn't. Right? It wasn't possible, right?
"Did my brother use protection?" Itachi asked with a slight grimace. Clearly his younger brother's sex life was something he refused to think about.
Naruto's mouth dried and he swallowed with difficulty. "No, no, he didn't," he muttered, feeling quite disoriented.
Never once had they thought about using protection when they had sex. Naruto hadn't even thought about going back on suppressants after such a long time of not taking them. Using protection had slipped his mind every time they had sex; the sensations were far too overwhelming and distracting to even remember something as simple as using protection.
It wasn't like he had absolutely refused to use protection – he just hadn't thought about it.
Fuck, was this really happening?
"Then, as you surely know by now, when you have unprotected sex, you will end up pregnant most of the time," Itachi said dryly and took a sip of Deidara's drink.
"Didn't you complain about feeling nauseous lately?" Deidara asked excitedly.
Naruto nodded dumbly. There had been various mornings lately when he felt quite nauseous, sometimes so bad he had to throw up, but he had simply assumed it was a bug that he had caught from one of his students. He hadn't even considered the possibility of being pregnant, because …
Yes, why had he not considered it? It was only a logical assumption after the way he had spent his heat. Every other Omega would have bought a test immediately after they had unprotected sex.
He had not once thought about it. Simply because he had grown used to seeing a negative result. After his fight with Gaara, he hadn't thought about trying for children again. Yet, he hadn't go back on suppressants either, because after eight months of not taking them, he hadn't thought about them anymore.
Could this really be happening? Was he really pregnant? Was he really carrying a baby?
Oh god, if he was pregnant – what on earth was he going to do? Yes, he really wanted to have children – but he and Sasuke had just started their relationship. Would it be strong enough to survive an unexpected pregnancy? Would Sasuke even want to keep this baby? They were together for barely two months – wasn't that too early for a child?
His panic must have been written all over his face, because Deidara brought him back out of his thoughts with a gentle squeeze.
Blue eyes looked at him in worry. "Let's go buy a test now, okay? Then you know for certain whether you're pregnant or not. You can think afterwards what you're going to do then, un."
Naruto could only nod numbly and follow the older blond towards the sole apothecary in the mall, while his stomach did odd flips and turns.
One hour later, he was in Deidara's and Itachi's bathroom, waiting for the pregnancy stick to announce the result. He rubbed his hands nervously over his bare arms. What on earth was he going to do if it turned out that he was really pregnant?
There was no way he would get rid of it. Just like he wouldn't give up his children's wish to stay with Gaara, he didn't want to give up his baby to stay with Sasuke. Would Sasuke still want him, if he was pregnant with his child? Or would he consider it too soon to bring any children in their relationship?
Which it was, he admitted to himself. But he couldn't imagine himself getting rid of it either.
When his cell phone alerted him to the fact that the two minutes had gone by, he took a deep breath and grabbed the stick off the counter, holding it into the light, so that he could see the display.
"Oh my god," he breathed out and clapped his hand in front of his mouth. His eyes widened at the result.
"Naruto-kun? What does your test say?" Deidara called out through the door; concern clearly audible in his voice.
On legs that felt like they consisted out of jelly, Naruto made his way to the door and fumbled with the knob, until he opened it and the door swung open.
Deidara stood in front of him, holding Shion on his hip, who was sucking on his thumb with his eyes half lidded in sleep. "Naruto-kun? What does it say?"
Naruto held up the test, showing the older blond the display. Tears started to roll down slowly over his cheeks. "I'm pregnant, Deidara-kun. I'm having a baby. Sasuke's baby."
The blond Omega watched nervously how his dark haired mate gazed at the stick, which displayed the result of their time together. It was barely five p.m., but the doctor was already home after he had been called by his brother-in-law. Naruto had tried to stop Deidara, protesting that he didn't want to keep Sasuke from his work, but the older blond had insisted on demanding that Sasuke returned home immediately, so that they could discuss the unexpected discovery.
"Sasuke-kun is your mate, Naruto-kun. He won't mind getting off work early for this. In fact he'd probably be insulted and hurt if you didn't call him immediately, un."
Despite Deidara's reassuring words and hug that everything would be all right, Naruto was terrified. What the hell was he going to do if Sasuke absolutely refused to keep the baby? Being soulmates didn't automatically mean that the Alpha was ready to have children already.
"You're having a baby? My baby?" Sasuke asked; his dark eyes widened in shock while he stared at the pregnancy stick.
"Y-yes; I don't know how far I am, but I'm pregnant. I'm having a baby," Naruto said weakly. He still had trouble wrapping his mind around the fact that he was really carrying a baby inside of him. There was a baby growing in him. After trying for so long with Gaara, after months of negative pregnancy tests, it felt almost surreal to be now staring at a positive one.
His arms folded across his stomach, almost as if he wanted to protect it. "I know we haven't been together for that long, but Sasuke, I'm keeping the baby," he said, swallowing loudly. This was the moment of truth. "I can't … Don't ask me to get rid of this baby. I won't."
That was the one thing that was very certain to him: there was no way he would abort his baby or give it up. Despite the fact that they hadn't been together for that long, Naruto wanted to keep their baby. It was something of them together; they had created this. It was a symbol of their feelings for each other. Because even though they hadn't said it aloud yet and they hadn't been together for that long, Naruto knew without a doubt that he loved Sasuke.
Yes, the prospect of taking care of a child was terrifying – but he was ready for that challenge. He could only hope that that also included having Sasuke at his side.
"Why on earth would I ask you to get rid of it?" Sasuke asked incredulously.
Naruto's head shot up in shock and he stared at Sasuke with his mouth open. "Be-because we haven't been together for that long. And, and I don't know how you feel about children," he retorted weakly.
Sasuke knelt down in front of him and reached out with his hand to caress his cheek. "I don't care how long we've been together. I want this baby and if you want it too, then we keep it."
"You're not mad?" Naruto asked in a small voice, not daring to believe that Sasuke really wanted to keep the baby. This was too good to be true. There was no way the man in front of him wanted to keep their baby after barely two months of being together.
"Naruto, why the hell would I be mad about this? You're carrying my baby – I've never been so happy in my life. Don't you know how happy you make me? And now you're giving me a baby as well; trust me when I say that I'm the happiest man on this earth right now," Sasuke whispered and leaned forwards to kiss him deeply. "I love you. I want you in my life, at my side, and I want to raise this baby with you."
Naruto gave him a trembling smile, while a couple of tears escaped his eyes, which were kissed away by the dark haired man; relief coursed through him, making him feel silly for worrying so much. "I love you too," he murmured and closed his eyes when he felt a larger hand covering his midsection, on top of his own hand. Love rushed through him, warming him from the inside out.
They weren't going to have it easy that was for certain. But at the same time, Naruto felt like he could tackle the whole world with Sasuke on his side.
He was one of the very few who were lucky enough to find their soul mate. The path to finding him hadn't been easy, filled with heart break and sorrow, but Naruto couldn't say he regretted any of it.
After such a long time, he was finally where he belonged: in Sasuke's arms. In their house where they would build on a future together, where they would build their family.
A place that he could call his own. A place where he was loved and where he loved in return.
A place where his heart belonged.
When their lips touched each other next, their kiss was filled with a promise.
A promise of a future together.
AN2: And there you have it: Sasuke and Naruto finally together :) There is one small epilogue left (small compared to these chapters anyway) and I hope you'll stick with me to the end!
Please leave a review behind with your thoughts!
