Chapter 7: Ferris Wheel
and Fireworks

Naruto bolted upright just before the
sun rose on Saturday morning. At first, he couldn�t remember why he was so
excited to be up before the sun, but soft images of his obsidian idol came to
mind, and he was up and in the shower before his brain had processed that he
was completely awake. He was careful to use the peach scented shampoo Hinata
had bought for him.
Naruto had thought of nothing else
except being in the presence of his beloved Sasuke since they had shared their
last kiss. He was beginning to go insane and was worried that
he wouldn�t make it one more day without seeing him.
It took nearly an hour and a half before
Naruto felt absolutely ready for his date with Sasuke.
Next door, the obsidian-eyed idol was having similar problems. He went through
dozens upon dozens of outfits, none of which, he felt, were quite right.
Finally, steeling his resolve, he took a deep breath and knocked on his
brother�s door.
The door opened a fraction of an inch,
just enough for Itachi to poke his head through. �What is it, little brother?�
�A�Ah�Itachi�� Sasuke looked at the
floor, unable to meet Itachi�s piercing gaze. �I�I�m going out today, and I was wondering if�if I could borrow�something to wear��
The door opened the rest of the way, and
Sasuke tentatively followed his brother into the darkened room. He heard a moan
from the bed as Itachi pulled the curtains wide open. Sasuke stared wide-eyed
at the form on the bed, shielding his eyes from the light blasting in from the
windows. Kisame rolled over, and the blanket barely covering his lower half
almost didn�t follow.
�Let�s see�� Itachi threw open his
closet doors. �Hmm�� He began holding up various outfits to Sasuke�s more
petite form, frowning from time to time and seeming unable to make up his mind.
At last, he had it narrowed down to two outfits. Turning toward the bed, he
said, �Kisame, which one do you think?�
Kisame blinked blearily in their
direction. �Itachi, I don�t have my contacts in. Describe them to me.�
�The one I wore to dinner with
Orochimaru, when I first contracted you, or the one I wore at Sasuke�s photo
shoot in Versailles?�
Kisame squinted toward the outfits.
�Versailles�but with the Orochimaru shoes and belt. Wait, what about what you wore
for your premiere in Beijing?�
Sasuke blinked. �I don�t remember going
to Beijing��
�Relax,� said Itachi, rummaging through
his closet again. �You were with otou-san and okaa-san that weekend. I merely
stole Kisame to keep me company. That�s when I had Sasori
baby-sit you, remember?�
Sasuke shuddered. How could he forget?
Itachi seemed to find the most frightening bodyguards on the face of the planet
to watch over him. Honestly! Why couldn�t he have picked out a nice, normal
bodyguard agency?
Itachi thrust an outfit in Sasuke�s
hands. �All right, go change, little brother. Kisame will be up and dressed in
no time.�
Sasuke fidgeted anxiously, not quite
sure how to break the news to his brother. Knowing Itachi would be furious, he
decided to get it over with as quickly as possible: �Well, I�Itachi� I called
Orochimaru-san last night and asked for Deidara to go
with me today. You know, so Kisame could get the day off.� He realized he
probably would have been fine without the nervous laughter at the end.
Kisame reached out and grabbed Itachi�s
arm, sensing Itachi�s anger level skyrocket. Sasuke was relieved he at least
had enough sense to pull a blanket along with him. �Itachi,� he growled, �it�s okay. Oro-san called me a few minutes later, and I
okay-ed it. Besides, Ita-kun��
Sasuke was surprised at how sultry Kisame managed to make his voice. He wrapped
his arms around the elder Uchiha and pressed his lips against the shell of his
ear. �I think it�s high time I took you on
a date.�
Itachi looked bemused. �Us? Dating? Kisame, I never knew
you had a sense of humor.�
Sasuke noticed the look of fury flash
through the shark�s eyes, and skedaddled out of the room as quickly as
possible. As soon as the door had closed behind him, Kisame grabbed Itachi by
the shoulders and, digging in his fingers, snarled, �Why can�t we, Itachi? You
say you don�t love me, but I know you do. What are you so fucking afraid of?�
Itachi calmly removed Kisame�s hands
from his shoulders. �I think you�d better go home for today.�
Kisame drew his fist back and was a mere
three inches from Itachi�s nose when the elder Uchiha caught his wrist.
�Do you think it�s wise to attack your
employer?� Itachi whispered dangerously, his eyes taking on a ruby red hue.
�Besides,� he scoffed, �I pay you, Kisame.
It�s bad enough keeping you as my fuck toy. If we started dating, you really would be a whore�and I don�t date
whores.�
Kisame wrenched his wrist from Itachi�s
grip and stormed his way to the bedroom door. After he threw it open, he
whipped around and snarled, �Now I know why everyone hates you, Itachi: You let
people think they�re close to you, and just when they�ve given their entire
heart to you, you turn into a fucking brick wall and break off all ties,
professing that you never loved them back. But, you know what, Itachi?� By now,
the tears the shark had been trying to hold back had burst forth and were
running down his face. His voice hiccupped a little, but he kept going, pouring
out his heart to the man he had so willingly given it
to. �You know what? You did love
me�you do love me! You�re just
afraid! You�re afraid your heart will get broken, so you break mine! You�re
such a�such a�a fucking bitch!�
Itachi stared calmly at Kisame, barely
moving. He blinked coldly, and his eyes were back to their normal color. �Interesting theory, Kisame. You are, however, wrong. Now,
if you don�t mind�� He slowly swung the door shut on Kisame.
��the best thing that�s ever happened to
me,� they both mumbled from opposite sides of the doorway.
Itachi went into his bathroom and locked
the door. He sat down on the closed toilet lid and let silent tears pour down
his face.
Kisame stormed from the room, slamming
the apartment door behind him. Naruto stuck his head out of his room curiously
and was surprised to see Kisame sitting with his back against the wall between
the two apartment doors, sobbing.
He sat down beside the shark, feeling
awkward, but putting a comforting arm around his shoulders anyway. �A�Ano,
Kisame-san� What�s wrong?�
Kisame wiped the tears away with the
back of his hand. �I thought Sasuke�s hatred of his brother wasn�t warranted.
Hell, I even watched as Itachi tried
his best to ruin his little brother�s life. God, he�s such a fucking control whore! And now�and now�� He
stared at the wall in front of him, the tears replaced by a murderous glare.
�It�s like I didn�t even know him. I had grown to view Sasuke almost like my
little brother�even you, too, Naru-kun. And now�I don�t think I�ll ever see you
two again.�
Naruto was confused. �A�Ano, Kisame-san�
Did something happen between you and Itachi?�
Kisame laughed bitterly. �That fucking
cunt broke up with me, because he�s too fucking scared to fall in love.�
�Oh.�
Kisame glanced at Naruto and drew back,
seeing him fully for the first time. �W�Whoa� You look�you look really good.�
Naruto blushed. �Ah� Thank-you,
Kisame-san. A�Are you bodyguard�ing Sasuke
today?�
Kisame shook his head. �No. And I
probably never will again. Deidara�s got it today. He�s a nice guy, just a little vain. Oh, and he likes explosions, so try
to keep him away from fire.�
Naruto helped Kisame to his feet. �You
gonna be all right?�
Kisame looked like his usual self, but
he shook his head sadly. �I don�t think this broken heart will ever heal
completely.� He sighed. �You should have seen him, Naruto� All ice with no
heart. I don�t know what he�s so damn afraid of� But, Sasuke should be ready
soon. Maybe you should go in there and make sure Itachi hasn�t eaten him.�
�Heh�� Naruto
suddenly realized Kisame wasn�t joking, and it turned his insides to ice. �Uh,
yeah, I think I will go�check. Umm� Well, Kisame, if
you ever need a friend, give me a call, all right?�
�Thanks, Naruto. You�re a good kid.�
Naruto rubbed the back of his head,
laughing nervously. He froze when he heard the door open behind him. He turned
around; his jaw dropped for a fraction of a second before it turned into a wide
grin.
�Wow� Sasuke.
You look�fantastic.�
�Back at you,
dobe.�
His forehead wrinkled. �Are those�Neji-san�s clothes?�
Naruto rubbed the back of his head once
more. �Uh, yeah. I borrowed this because�well, because
my clothes suck.�
Sasuke shrugged. �This is Itachi�s, so I
guess I can�t judge you. So, dobe, where are we going first?�
�To the front of the apartment to wait
for Deidara, I hope,� Kisame growled. He herded them onto the elevator before
whipping out his cell phone and calling the long-haired
blonde. �He�s out front already.�
When they emerged from the building,
Kisame took off immediately, completely ignoring Deidara�s greeting. �What a
jerk, hn,� Deidara mumbled.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes, hating having
a bodyguard following him everywhere. �Deidara, this is Naruto. Naruto, this is
Deidara.�
�Ah, nice to meet you,� Naruto said,
holding out his hand.
�Hn.� Deidara held out his hand and squeezed. When he let
go, Naruto stared at the tattoo of an open mouth on Deidara�s palm. Ignoring
the stare, Deidara pointed at the car behind him and said, �If you need to go
anywhere, I can drive you�hn.�
Naruto stared at the car. He wasn�t used
to having a car available to him. Most of what was in Konoha was within walking
distance, and if it wasn�t, the public bus would take
you there. �Ah, no, thank you, Deidara-san. We�ll be fine.�
Gaara looked up from the book he was
reading at the register when he heard the bell above the shop tinkling. He
stared at Naruto and Sasuke, unable to tear his eyes from the gorgeous pair.
Naruto was wearing jeans that fit snugly
around his ass with a shirt the exact same color as his eyes. He wore an orange
belt with matching Converses. A thin black ribbon ran around his neck with a
little bell attached to the front, jingling softly every time he moved.
Sasuke wore black pants and a purple and
black striped sleeveless hoodie that clung lightly to
his frame. He had on black sneakers with thin purple stripes and a rainbow
belt. A black and white hat had been drawn low over
his eyes to deter anyone recognizing him, and Gaara�s breath caught in his
throat when Sasuke removed it.
Basically, the two were
walking sex.
�Hey, Gaara,� Naruto called, walking
over to him. �Hinata said she wanted to meet with me here before we took off.
Is she here yet?�
Hinata emerged from the back room
carrying two cups of coffee. She froze when she spied the pair, her face
turning pink. She set the coffees on the counter before pulling a camera out of
her bag and taking a picture.
�A�Ano� Where are you taking him,
Naru-kun?� Hinata had turned even redder and was tapping her index fingers
together anxiously.
�I can�t tell you,� Naruto answered,
grinning. �It�s a secret.� Hinata�s eyes narrowed, and the blonde
felt a chill run down his spine. �Then again, I suppose I could�� He leaned
down and whispered for several seconds in her ear. When he drew away, they both
had identical grins.
�Well, you�d better get going, Naru-kun,� she said giddily, �or you�ll run out of
time.�
�Was that all you wanted, Hina-chan?�
Naruto asked, bemused.
She winked and held up the camera. �And the picture, Naru-kun. Now, get going!�
Naruto laughed. �All
right, all right! See you later, Gaara, Hina-chan!�
Naruto took Sasuke by the hand and led
him from the bookstore. They started walking in a direction Sasuke didn�t know,
even though he began to recognize some of the shops after a while. �Ano�,�
Sasuke asked softly. �Where are we going?�
Naruto grinned and pointed at Inuzuka�s
Pet Shop. �Kiba finally managed to convince me to get a pet. I wanted to show
her to you. Kiba�s bringing her over later, so she�ll be there tonight�you�re
still sleeping over tonight, right?�
Sasuke nodded. �Of
course.�
Naruto�s smile somehow managed to grow
larger. �Great!�
Akamaru welcomed the pair
enthusiastically, running energetically between their legs as they tried to
walk. �Ah! Naruto! Sasuke!�
Kiba called as he came in from the back room. �You here to
see her?�
�You bet I am!� Naruto cried, pumping
his fist excitedly in the air. �Ano, Sasuke, maybe you can even help me name
her!�
Kiba walked over to a large cage in the
corner and pulled out a grey kitten before placing it gently in Naruto�s arms.
Akamaru barked loudly, running around in circles around Naruto trying to sniff
the kitten. �Isn�t she adorable?� Naruto asked breathlessly.
The kitten opened its wide eyes and
Sasuke was startled to see its eyes were as brilliant blue as Naruto�s. He held up a cautious hand before laying it gently
on the kitten�s head. �Sora�,� he said softly.
�Sorry?� Naruto asked, confused.
�Ah,� Sasuke withdrew his hand and
blushed slightly. �Ano� You could name her Sora�sky. Her eyes are blue, like
yours�like the sky.�
�Oh, yeah� I guess they are��
�I�I know it�s typically a boy�s name��
Naruto grinned. �That�s all right. Sora
won�t know the difference.�
Sasuke met Naruto�s smile, and suddenly
Kiba knew exactly what Hinata was talking about: When they looked at each
other, worlds stopped moving. He was amazed they hadn�t realized the other�s
love yet; they were so obvious about it!
Kiba cleared his throat, and the boys
unwillingly tore their eyes away from each other to look at Kiba. He held out
his arms for the kitten and said, �So, I�ll bring him by your apartment,
say�10? Will you be home by then?�
Naruto shrugged before giving up the
kitten. �I�ll call you when we�re heading back. Oh, and I borrowed a litter box
from Temari. Remember her cat, Devil?�
Kiba growled. He rolled up his right
sleeve and showed four three-inch long scars. �How could I forget that little
shit? You have no idea how happy I was when it ran away. It�s probably
presiding over kitty hell as we speak.�
Naruto laughed. �You�d better not let
Temari hear you say that. She�d resurrect Devil from its grave and let its
little kitty soul haunt you for the rest of your life.� He glanced back at
Sasuke. �Well, Kiba, we�ll be going now. See you around.�
When they headed toward the bus station,
Deidara reminded him once again that he had a car. Naruto rolled his eyes.
�Car, shmar, we�re taking the bus.�
When they arrived, Sasuke raised an
eyebrow skeptically. �An art museum?�
Naruto stuck out his tongue. �Trust me,
it�ll be fun. Besides, it�s not just paintings and sculptures. They have all
sorts of different things in here, including a wax sculpture exhibit and all
sorts of things you would never think of as art. Oh! And you can�t live in
Konoha until have your face put on the mural! Everyone has their face put on the mural!
There�s over six generations of faces on this one wall. Even the painters of
the mural have stayed within the same family! Here, it�s over here� Aw, damn, he�s
here today.�
Sasuke looked up and saw a boy around
their age with a paintbrush staring hard at a Polaroid. He had skin and hair
the same shades as Sasuke, but that�s where the similarities ended. The boy was
wearing large painter�s pants that hung low around his hips and a grey wife
beater that showed off plenty of midriff. �Him?�
Naruto nodded curtly. �Yeah, that�s Sai.
He�s the current muralist. He�s also a total jackass.�
Sai turned and smiled at them, waving.
�He seems nice,� Sasuke started to say when Sai called, �Hey, dickweed!�
Naruto growled, his eyes narrowing to
slits. They took on a reddish hue, and Sasuke was painfully
reminded of Itachi. �Hey, Sai,� he snarled. �Look, Sasuke�s new in town.
I was just going to take his picture, and then we�ll get out of here.�
Sasuke ignored the tension between the
two as he began scanning the mural. �Naruto, where are you?�
Naruto pointed out his smiling replica
on the wall. �Sai�s father painted it because Sai refused to.�
Sai rolled his eyes. �I don�t paint
pictures of men with abnormally small dicks.�
Naruto clenched his fists. �How about I
shove it up your ass, and then we�ll see how fucking small my dick is!�
�I doubt I�d even feel it.�
�Teme�!!!�
Sasuke grabbed onto the back of Naruto�s
shirt to hold him back from attacking Sai. �Naruto!
Come on, calm down!�
Still growling, Naruto relented before
grabbing the camera, snapping a quick picture of Sasuke, and thrusting the
still developing Polaroid toward Sai. Sasuke found himself being dragged off by
the blonde and into the heart of the museum. Naruto
didn�t stop until they had reached the wax exhibit. By that time, he was in a
decidedly better mood and gleefully pointed out the different important
historical figures of Konoha history.
�And that one�s Sarutobi-sama! He was
one of the best governors of Konoha! He died a few years ago, and literally everyone turned up for his funeral. His grandson
is starting elementary school this year, and he really took his death hard�
�Ah! And that�s Jiraya! You know, the one who writes pervy
novels? Well, he made this large donation to the city.
The money was used to build a new library and fix up a lot of the public
schools.�
Sasuke smiled happily as Naruto prattled
on and on about the different figures, giving his own insight into their lives
that was much more interesting than what the curator had typed out on the
little placards.
Naruto glanced as his watch before
grabbing Sasuke�s wrist and practically running toward the opposite end of the
museum. �Ah! We�re going to miss it! It only runs once a day,
and it�ll start in two minutes!�
They stopped suddenly at a railing and
looked downward. There was a large statue over three stories tall of a large
fox with nine tails. Sasuke could see hundreds of people looking at the statue
from the floor below, but the floor above extended over the statue. They were
level with the fox�s tails, yet Sasuke could see its large head with large
fangs in great detail.
�I wish we were on one of the lower
levels,� Naruto pouted. �You don�t really get the full effect from up here, but
at least it�s not as crowded.�
Naruto was right, Sasuke realized; the
crowd below outnumbered their floor ten to one.
�Oh! It�s starting!�
Sasuke jumped when the statue was suddenly engulfed in red light and the mouth began to
open. The head thrashed back and forth, and an angry growl erupted from its
throat. The red light deepened, seemingly coming from the statue itself. The
head lurched forward, and the teeth snapped at the crowd below. This continued
for a few minutes before the light faded and the fox became a mere statue once
more.
�Wasn�t that cool?� Naruto asked
excitedly. �I came up with the idea, you know, from a dream I had. Nightmare, really. My�� His voice dropped and he stared at
the floor. �My dad made it. It was in the museum for over a year when he
decided he wanted to add some more detail to it. He climbed the ladder and
didn�t even start carving when someone accidentally hit the switch. He couldn�t
climb down the ladder fast enough, and the fox�s head pushed the ladder, and he
fell three stories. One of the last things he said before he died� He made the
curator promise he would still keep the statue running every day.� He looked up
and tried on a fake grin. �G�Gomen, it�s depressing.�
Sasuke reached out and touched Naruto�s
arm softly. �Iie, it�s all right.�
�My mom died during childbirth, so it
had always been just me and my dad. I was put into foster care, but I collected
some money and got out about last year.� He rubbed the back of his head nervously
and tried to smile once more. �Ah, but you�you don�t want to hear about that.
Hey! It�s almost one! Let�s go grab some lunch��
Sasuke stared sadly at Naruto but didn�t
want to press the matter. He felt that when the time came, Naruto would tell
him more about his family. After all, Sasuke himself had hardly said a word
about his own family�outside Itachi, anyway.
Naruto grabbed more food than Sasuke
could eat in an entire day. �Gomen,� he said, rubbing the back of his head with
his free hand. �I didn�t have any breakfast. I�m starving.� Sasuke laughed before grabbing a salad and a vitamin water. �Great� Way to make me feel like a fat
ass.� He grabbed two more slices of pizza and tossed them on one of his plates.
They paid for their food and sat down.
�So, you having
a good time so far?� Naruto asked between bites of pizza.
�Of course, dobe,� answered Sasuke.
They wandered through the rest of the
museum until after five o�clock. Naruto glanced at his watch and jumped. �Oh,
man! We�re gonna miss it!� They rushed past the entrance, but Naruto skidded to
a halt by the mural. �Oh! Sai�s not here anymore! Let�s go find your picture!�
Sasuke smiled as Naruto began pointing
out the pictures of his friends. �Look! Here�s Haku and Zabuza� They had their
picture made when they first started dating. Oh! And here�s Hinata
and Neji and their parents and Hinata�s little sister. Actually, this is
like the Hyuuga section. And here�s Kiba and his sister Hana. Oh, and here�s Gaara and Temari and Kankuro, and their dad.
He was a drunk, and they don�t really like to associate themselves with him,
but what can you do? Oh, and here�s my mom and dad��
Sasuke touched his finger to Naruto�s
dad�s portrait. �He looks just like you��
Naruto shifted awkwardly. �Yeah, I get
that a lot� Oh! Look where you are!� Sasuke started when he saw his likeness
painted on the wall next to Naruto�s face. Naruto wrapped his arms around
Sasuke from behind and said softly, �I can�t think of a better place��
Naruto suddenly blushed and stepped
backward, rubbing the back of his head. �Ano sa, ano
sa!� he said nervously. �There�s a bus that leaves in ten minutes. We can make
it if we leave now.�
�Where are we going?�
The blonde held
up a finger to his lips. �Just wait until we get there. It�s a surprise.�
They sat in comfortable silence on the
bus ride to the far end of Konoha. Sasuke saw the lake where they had eaten
lunch what seemed eons ago and felt at peace with himself
and the rest of the world. He looked up when Naruto nudged him and saw Deidara
surrounded by a group of teenage girls and couldn�t help but laugh.
Once the disembarked from the bus, they
walked several blocks until they arrived at a carnival. Sasuke assumed they
would keep walking and stared suspiciously when Naruto bought three tickets.
�You�ve got to be kidding me.�
Naruto shrugged. �Well, we�re not going
in just yet because we already missed the opening ceremony� Every day at
five-thirty, they have this show with the animals, and it�s really
cool. But first! Dinner!
I bought our tickets now because they go up at six. But�I�m not eating carnival
food for dinner. Come on. I made reservations.�
Sasuke was impressed. �Wow. You really
have this day all planned out. I kind of took you as
one who just goes through life, no plans, just taking things as they come to
you.�
Naruto laughed nervously. �Yeah, well�
That describes me exactly. Today is an exception. I don�t know if I�ll be able
to do it again, though. Being under time restraints is making me so fucking
anxious.�
They arrived outside Byakugan, one of
the fanciest restaurants in Konoha. Naruto glanced down at his outfit. �I think
they�ll set me in this. Last time, I almost got kicked out,
but I was being kind of a bitch. I had on ripped jeans, and I had just rolled
down a hill so I had mud and grass stains all over my shirt. But Hinata and
Neji�s family owns this restaurant, and Hinata rescued me in the end�but she
made me change my clothes.�
�Oh.�
They entered the restaurant and Naruto
greeted the receptionist anxiously. �H�Hello, Hyuuga-san.
I have a reservation for three��
Even Sasuke shifted anxiously under
Hyuuga-san�s pearly white stare. Finally, after what seemed like hours, he
said, �Nice to see you again, Uzumaki-san. Neji-kun is working tonight. I�ll
seat you in his section.�
�A�Ah, Arigatou,
Hyuuga-san.�
Neji arrived at their table and took
their drink orders. �Naruto-kun, Sasuke-kun, it�s nice to see you.� He noticed
Deidara, who was unused to interacting with those he was bodyguarding
and looked awkward. �Who�s your friend? Where�s Pein?�
�This is Deidara,� Sasuke said moodily,
purposefully looking in the opposite direction.
Deidara winked at Neji. �What time do
you get off work?�
Neji raised an eyebrow and gave him a
scathing look. �Sorry, I�m not interested in you,� he said simply before
walking off.�
Naruto and Sasuke simultaneously picked
up their menus to hide their laughter, but they could still feel Deidara�s
glare.
They slowly made their way through their
three-course meal, Naruto chatting endlessly with Deidara chiming in a time or
two and Sasuke staying silent for the most part, merely smiling
and nodding and just enjoying the sound of Naruto�s voice.
When it was time to pay the check,
Naruto flagged down Neji. �I�ll get the bill, Sasuke,� he said.
�Don�t worry about it, Naruto,� said
Neji, giving the faintest of a wink. �It�s on the house.�
�Eeeehhhh?� Naruto asked, eyeing Neji suspiciously.
�Why?�
Neji shrugged. �Sa ne?
Ask Hinata the next time you see her.�
Grateful he could keep his money yet
still suspicious, the trio left, Naruto waving good-bye to Hyuuga-san as they
exited.
It was nearing seven o�clock by the time
they made it back to the fair, and the sun was just beginning to set. Naruto
led Sasuke to the edge of the carnival where there was a fence surrounding the
lake. The image of the setting sun was mirrored
perfectly in the lake�s surface, and Sasuke gasped at the sight.
�It�s so�beautiful.�
�Yeah�� Naruto, however, was not looking
at the setting sun but at the porcelain beauty beside him. Sasuke�s dark hair was framed by the glow of the setting sun, giving it a
reddish orange hue. He slipped his hand into the brunette�s
and smiled when he felt him squeeze back. �The most beautiful I�ve ever seen��
The sun was nearly three-quarters of the
way past the horizon when Naruto finally snapped out of his trance. �Oh!� he
shouted. �When the sun�s fully set, they set off the fireworks!� He gestured at
the crowd surrounding them. �They think this is the best place to watch them�and
I mean, it�s a good spot, being over the lake and all�but I�ve found an even
better spot. Come on!� Naruto led Sasuke to the center of the park to the
largest Ferris wheel Sasuke had ever seen. �You�re not afraid of heights, are
you?� Naruto asked worriedly.
Sasuke shook his head. �No, just
lightening.�
Naruto turned toward Deidara. �We�re
getting on the Ferris wheel. You can wait for us down here, I suppose.�
Deidara nodded. �You said fireworks,
right?�
Naruto noticed the excited glint in his
eye and suddenly remembered what Kisame had said about the blonde liking
explosions. �Oh�ha, yeah. But, they set them off
across the lake, so��
�Oh.� Deidara looked downcast.
�Right��
Sasuke noticed that they were nearly the
only ones still walking around the carnival as most everyone had made their way
to the edge of the lake. There were six other people in line for the Ferris
wheel, each of them couples. He blushed when he realized his hand was still in
Naruto�s but made no move to take it back.
They had looped around three times
before the fireworks started. When their car was at the top, the Ferris wheel
suddenly ground to a halt. At first, Sasuke thought it was an accident, but
Naruto squeezed his hand reassuringly. �They always stop the Ferris wheel when
the fireworks start. It�ll take us back down when they�re over.�
�Oh.� Sasuke relaxed.
From where they were, they could see the
fireworks in the sky as well as reflected on the lake. Naruto, however, wasn�t
watching the display�in the sky or on the water. He watched as Sasuke�s hair
lit up with the different colors, first blue, then green, then purple�
Sasuke turned in the seat and met
Naruto�s eyes. �N�Naruto�I�� He looked down at his hand still clasped in Naruto�s. �I�� Gathering his courage, he managed to look the
blonde in the eye. �I�I had a really great time today.
It was really nice of you to take me out.�
Naruto�s grin broke out across his face.
�Ha, it�s no problem, Sasuke!� His cheeks grew red. �Ano sa�
Actually, Sasuke� I�� He took a deep breath, closed
his eyes, and said in a rush, �I really, really, really like you, Sasuke, and I
was wondering if you would be my boyfriend.� He cracked open one eye and,
expecting Sasuke to be disgusted, was surprised to see the brunette
smiling widely.
�I�I really like you, too, Naruto,�
Sasuke answered breathlessly, �and I would love to be your boyfriend.�
Naruto�s grin somehow grew even wider.
�A�Ano� Would it be a total clich� if I kissed you right now?�
Sasuke didn�t bother to answer. He
scooted forward and pressed his lips to the taller boy�s.
Naruto wrapped his free hand in Sasuke�s hair, unwilling to let go of his hand
as if afraid if he let go, he would lose him. They broke apart after several
seconds, both wearing identical grins.
Suddenly emboldened and grinning
wickedly, Sasuke asked, �Ne, Naruto� They can�t see us from the ground, can
they?�
Naruto shook his head, missing Sasuke�s
expression. �No, I don�t think so. Why?�
Sasuke swung his leg over Naruto�s,
straddling him. He placed his hands on the back of the Ferris wheel carriage on
either side of Naruto�s head and answered, �Because I want this moment to be
just between the two of us.�
Naruto moaned, his cock already
hardening. �God, Sasuke, you have no idea how beautiful you are��
Sasuke grinned and ground slightly into
the man underneath him, loving the sounds he was eliciting. �Right
back at you, dobe.� He closed the distance between their mouths and
immediately slipped his tongue into Naruto�s mouth.
Naruto�s hands disappeared under
Sasuke�s shirt, and he rubbed light circles along his back. Sasuke�s hands were
buried into Naruto�s blonde locks and pulling their faces together as closely
as possible without it hurting.
By the time they broke apart, they were
panting for air, and the Ferris wheel was moving again. Sasuke slipped off
Naruto�s lap and rested his head on his shoulder.
�Naruto,� he said softly by his ear. �I
don�t know how I ever lived without you.�
Naruto rested his cheek upon the soft,
black hair. �Right back at you, Sasuke.� He turned slightly
and placed a light kiss on his head. �I love you.�
Sasuke lifted his head and met Naruto�s
eyes. �I love you, too, Naruto��
