Spartan Ninjas
~ Chapter Eight ~
By: Cecilia Tsukineko and Kirei Kitsue

[IT'S THE CONCERT!! WAI!!]

----------Saturday----------
Yawning, Naruto rolled onto his back to stretch, his back arching, and he groaned as some of his joints popped. As he relaxed his body and fell back down to the mattress he blearily looked at the clock on the nightstand. Noon. Rolling onto his stomach he climbed off the bed to answer nature's call. But when he got to the bathroom and went to pull his boxers off... they weren't there. "The hell...?" Blinking in confusion he tried to remember what had happened last night. ::Came back... went to bed... tried to go to sleep but couldn't... Sasuke was in hot tub so I joined... fell asleep... how did I get to bed?:: Finishing his business in the bathroom he went searching and found his boxers, still a little soggy, next to the Jacuzzi with a damp towel. "Oh..." Shrugging it off he went back to the bedroom and sat down next to Sasuke. It didn't surprise him that Sasuke was naked too. ::Probably was too tired to put clothes on... on him or on me.:: Leaning over he nuzzled at Sasuke's face to wake him up.

Sasuke opened his eyes immediately. He'd been awake since Naruto left the bed, but he'd been dozing. "Ohayo... koibitto," he murmured and lifted his head to brush a soft kiss over Naruto's lips. "Feel like ordering in brunch?" he asked on the way to laying back down flat again. His eyes were hooded with contentment and he felt as boneless yet as a slug from their relaxing night last night.

Eyes lazy with sleep Naruto nodded, a light blush dusting his cheeks at being called "koibitto". Yawning widely, looking very much like a lazy lion, he curled up against Sasuke's side to rest his head on Sasuke's stomach. "In a bit... when I'm actually awake," he murmured.

Murring softly at the intimacy of their cuddle, not simply through their position but mostly through the emotions between them, Sasuke reached down to stroke his fingers slowly through Naruto's hair. "If I order it now... then it will get here by the time we're ready for it... or we could soak in the Jacuzzi some more and then have an actual lunch afterwards..." Sasuke said, his voice drowsy and soft... sexy bedroom voice was the best way to describe it.

"Mmmm..." Naruto purred at the fingers in his hair and nuzzled lightly at Sasuke's stomach. He loved being petted. "Order food now... belly go grumble... food then water. Water good... food even better..."

It didn't even take a second thought for Sasuke to understand him. Naruto was saying that he wanted to eat and then wanted to soak in the hot tub again. Well, that was fine with him, so he wriggled a little. "Let me up so I can get to the phone, dobe..." he teased softly and started to push himself up with his good elbow.

"But you're comfy..." Naruto whined, burrowing his face into Sasuke's stomach.

He chuckled softly. "Naruto... Let me up to order food. Then we can cuddle and doze until it gets here."

Grumbling Naruto rolled away, ending up stretched out on his stomach.

Sasuke sat up and made the call, ordering a light but filling brunch for them and then he turned over and sprawled over Naruto's back, mindful of his damaged arm. "It'll be up in twenty to thirty minutes."

"Mmm 'kay... yay Sasuke blanket," Naruto slurred, his face half buried in a pillow. He wriggled a bit to settle Sasuke more comfortably on his back before settling with a happy sigh.

Time ticked by in nothingness. It seemed like forever and yet just an eye-blink at the same time when the knock came on the door. "I'll get it," Sasuke murmured and then stood, pulling on a complimentary kimono and holding it shut he went to the door, tipped the waiter and pulled in the tray table while shutting the door with his foot. "Time to eat."

Yawning – forgetting that he was naked – Naruto shuffled into the living room and dropped onto the couch just as Sasuke brought the tray over. Immediately he grabbed a cup of green tea and downed the hot liquid, looking much more awake when he was finished with it. "Wow. That's a helluva lot better than what Baa-chan gets."

"It's original and traditional," Sasuke stated and dropped the robe onto the back of the couch, settling in for his own meal and cup of tea. The meal from there went on in relative silence. When it was finished Sasuke leaned back and sighed. It would be a little while before he would dare to move towards the hot tub. The food, he felt, would need a little more time to settle.

Standing up with a stretch Naruto walked over to the hot tub, ruffing Sasuke's hair affectionately on the way. He didn't care about letting his breakfast settle – food in his stomach stayed in his stomach unless he was deathly ill. As soon as he'd gotten the hot tub filled and figured out how to turn the jets on he slipped in, sitting down on one of the seats. Slouching down until only his head was above the water, he sighed as the hot water soothed him into a light doze.

Only a few minutes had passed before Sasuke was suddenly there right next to Naruto on one of the shelves in the same position that he had been in the first time. The warm water was blissful and he sighed in contentment as it lapped and fizzed about him. This was the life.

"So are there any plans between now and the concert? Or are we just gonna sit here and turn into human prunes?" Naruto asked jokingly, cracking one eye open to look at Sasuke with a lopsided smirk.

"No, there aren't any plans. Just you and me and our imaginations... and pleasures. Whatever we desire to do so long as we are back here well before six is fine with me," Sasuke muttered to Naruto, lounging comfortably in one of the benches.

Chuckling Naruto said, "How many times do I have to tell you that giving me multiple choice can be a bad thing?" He grinned mischievously.

"Multiple choice might be dangerous for you but it makes my life that much more amusing," Sasuke murmured in response and smirked.

Naruto razzed him cheerfully and cupped his hands, squirting water right at Sasuke's face with deadly aim. "Good to know that you find me entertaining," he quipped.

Ignoring the annoying droplets running down his face, Sasuke retorted, "Not so much entertaining as... arousing..." He said it softly. So softly that it was almost impossible to hear.

Naruto just managed to make out what he had said. "Arousing? Meh. So basically you only keep me around for the make-out factor," he complained jokingly, smirking.

Standing slowly Sasuke flowed through the chest deep center of the hot tub, holding his cast just out of the water's reach and as the floor rose, the texture rough but not sharply so beneath his soles, he planted his right hand on the edge of Naruto's seat and pushed settling himself, firmly straddling Naruto's lap. Leaning forward he rested his cast on the edge above and beside Naruto's head, which with the cast reaching above his elbow meant Sasuke's arm had to be crooked putting their faces right next to each other. Hot breath ghosted over Naruto's face and then soft lips brushed his. "I keep you around for far more than making out and eye candy," he purred and let his tongue slip out to trace the cleft between Naruto's lips. There was a second swipe of his tongue that hoped to be met with a welcoming parting of the blond's lips.

Blushing fiercely as his body reminded him loudly that they were both completely naked, Naruto opened his mouth to let Sasuke in. His hands moved up from their resting place on the seat to circle Sasuke's hips and he shivered despite the steamy water. Their groins weren't quite touching but they were certainly close enough that Naruto was highly aware of the couple inches that separated their bodies from being completely flush with one another. "So what else do you keep me around for?" he asked, his voice husky and trembling.

Sasuke's tongue darted in when Naruto parted his lips willingly, twisting temptingly and then it withdrew so Sasuke could nibble Naruto's lower lip. And then Naruto's hands settled on his hips making him shiver even as Naruto spoke to him. It took Sasuke a moment to register the words but when they finally sunk in Sasuke chuckled. "I keep you around because you take care of me... because you... take up so much of my mind with everything that's wonderful about you, that I don't have time" – he kissed Naruto sweetly – "to think of all the horrible things in my life." Sasuke's good hand came up to caress Naruto's cheek, cupping his jaw under his ear and stroking Naruto's cheek with his thumb.

"What's so wonderful about me?" Naruto asked honestly after another sweet kiss, not understanding what Sasuke meant, his eyes questioning. He leaned into the stroke on his cheek as his thumbs idly caressed the skin right above Sasuke's hipbones. Scooting backwards he straightened from his slouch so that Sasuke didn't have to lean down as far. Trying to stay focused through the growing haze of arousal enveloping his brain he added, "I'm just an orphaned Marine brat who's too loud and obnoxious for his own good. I'm a misfit and messy and annoying and -"

Sasuke kissed him soundly, silencing his self-debasing tirade and then, when he was certain Naruto was going to be silent, he broke the kiss and answered the cut-off question, "You are wonderful... because you treat me like a person and not a T-bone steak. You're wonderful because there isn't any other person I'd rather be with." Sasuke's lips brushed Naruto's lightly as he scooted farther up Naruto's thighs, easing the slight tension in his shoulder. It had only been a little over a week and that was certainly NOT enough time for that shoulder to heal. The sliding of skin on sensitive, soft skin as he slid forward made him shiver. He nuzzled noses with his boyfriend lightly, the motion sensual with hooded eyes and heated looks. The throb in his groin wouldn't be ignored.

Naruto gasped raggedly as Sasuke scooted forward, ducking his head to tuck it in the crook of Sasuke's neck. "I don't deserve you..." he murmured shakily, trembling at the feel of Sasuke's heated groin so close to his own. Even in the steamy water he could feel the difference in temperature. His hands slid down to cup Sasuke's rear, fingers splayed over the firm flesh, as he kissed up and down Sasuke's neck. Arousal so strong it was almost painful shot through him to collect between his legs and it wouldn't have surprised him in the least if the water around them actually started boiling.

"You deserve better than me..." Sasuke murmured fiercely groaning as Naruto grabbed his rear firmly. His hand fell from Naruto's cheek as the blond tucked his head beneath Sasuke's chin and it landed on Naruto's shoulder to squeeze. His own desire was a ferocious ache in his lower body and he shuddered as a thought, more like an urge, struck him. "I want to taste you," he murmured suddenly, lowering his lips to brush at one delicate shell.

The blond kissed his way up to Sasuke's ear and nibbled at the lobe. "Taste me?" Naruto breathed curiously, his hands kneading Sasuke's rear and working their way down Sasuke's thighs. Absently he wondered what it would feel like to be inside that tight rump and he groaned as he almost came at the thought.

The kneading of his rear made him scoot right up to Naruto's hips and he tipped his head back while Naruto's mouth trekked over his throat from his earlobe. "Mmm... I want to," he purred just as he rolled his hips into Naruto's, rubbing their groins together. The friction was absolutely delicious and his mouth fell open in a groan of pleasure.

A broken gasp tore its way out of Naruto's throat as the most intense pleasure he had felt yet engulfed him. The feeling of their arousals rubbing against each other was so powerful and... oh so sweet. Trembling at the overload of sensation Naruto stilled completely, even holding his breath as he tried to regain his foothold on reality. A second/eternity later he began to breathe again and he started to slowly grind against Sasuke, holding his rear firmly. "Oh my god... Sasuke..." he panted into the skin of his neck.

A slow smirk spread gorgeous lips and Sasuke's body curled forward, rubbing back against every thrust. "Ohhh..." he breathed softly right into Naruto's ear and then his nose traced the outline of the shell. "Maybe we should get out of the hot tub..." he gasped, barely able to say it.

His words just managed to register in Naruto's passion-muzzy brain. "Maybe... Don't wanna... turn into lobsters... do we?" he panted between thrusts, the pace increasing as blissful sensation threatened to completely take him over.

Sasuke moaned. Oh, how he wanted to just keep going as he ground back against Naruto's body... but he wanted something more and no... they didn't want to do this all in here lest they overheat. So, with a disgruntled groan, he stood suddenly. "C'mon," he ordered swiftly and got out. His erection was tall and proud against his belly as he turned to face Naruto, waiting for him to get out of the hot tub.

Whimpering at the loss of Sasuke's delicious body, and then moaning at the sight of him in all his glory, Naruto stood shakily and climbed out of the tub. Inexperience making him horribly impatient he grabbed Sasuke's hips as soon as he was close enough and pulled their hips together roughly, capturing Sasuke's mouth in a heated kiss.

Groaning Sasuke wrapped his arms around Naruto's neck ignoring the cumbersome cast for now and ground their bodies together a little. "Bed..." he managed against Naruto's mouth, taking a step back, expecting that Naruto would follow.

Naruto nodded and let Sasuke lead the way, his eyes glazed with passion and need. Not caring in the least if they got the bed wet he flopped backwards into the pillows, pulling Sasuke down on top of him – somehow managing enough sense to be careful about it so that Sasuke's shoulder didn't get hurt – and immediately wrapped his legs around Sasuke's waist to rock against him. Panting heavily he tangled his fingers in Sasuke's hair and kissed him hungrily.

Returning the kiss with fervor Sasuke ground back for a few moments but then he squirmed and pulled their mouths apart, biting and kissing at Naruto's neck. "Relax..." he breathed, tipping his chin up just enough for his breath to brush Naruto's ear and then he was sliding down Naruto's body, lips and tongue and teeth exploring every inch of Naruto's body on the way down. His tongue stabbed into Naruto's belly button a few times, lapping at the tiny scar and looking up through his lashes at Naruto's face. He wondered briefly if Naruto had figured out what he meant by "taste" yet...

Hooded passion-darkened blue eyes watched him with fuzzy curiosity, Naruto's legs having fallen back down to the bed when Sasuke began kissing his way down his body. Every inch of him that Sasuke's mouth had touched felt branded, but it was a brand he didn't mind wearing in least. Moaning loudly as the tongue in his navel sent white-hot sparks over every nerve Naruto let his eyes close, his lids too heavy to keep open any more, and arched up towards Sasuke's mouth. "Sasuke..." he moaned pleadingly, his fingers tangling in Sasuke's hair and trying to pull him back up. He wanted to kiss him.

"Shh," came the soft shush and then Sasuke was kissing lower, low enough to nuzzle the musky blond curls at the apex of Naruto's thighs. Low enough that his hot, steamy breath ghosted against the side of Naruto's erection, that his warm, wet tongue could follow it by tracing up from Naruto's sac to the head of his member by cupping the large vein on the underside.

Naruto screamed softly as pleasure ripped through him and he almost came right then. His breath ragged and uneven he panted Sasuke's name, begging for more. He let go of Sasuke's hair to clutch at the sheets, his knuckles white.

Smirking faintly in triumph Sasuke took the head into his mouth and sucked softly at first and then more powerfully, gradually working on taking more and more of the shaft into his mouth. He was falling in love with the noises Naruto was making. The pants and grunts and groans and moans... all conspired to tighten his own hard on, and he couldn't – simply couldn't tear his eyes away from Naruto's face.

Not able to hold it in anymore Naruto screamed and arched into Sasuke's mouth, filling it with hot, salty-bitter cum. Slowly his muscles relaxed and he fell back down onto the bed, his breathing harsh. He lay there marveling at just how... complete he felt. There was still something missing, something too vague and blurry for him to grasp at the moment, but the void in him had just shrunk by a considerable margin. "Sasuke..." he whispered, his voice full of sated passion.

Sasuke swallowed reflexively and then he licked Naruto clean with slow laps of his warm tongue before sliding up Naruto's body to brush his lips over Naruto's chin. "There are no words..." he whispered and lapped at Naruto's lips, asking if it was okay to kiss him. "To describe how divine you taste... koibitto..." His voice was pure, black sin.

Naruto just smiled and wrapped tired arms around Sasuke's neck, kissing him slowly. He purred at the taste of himself in Sasuke's mouth. "That was... wow..." he murmured, his amazement clear in his tone. Smirking he added, "I think I'm falling in love with a devil."

"What? You couldn't see the horns before?" Sasuke asked, his voice husky. He was still hard and aching and he shifted, rolling his hips lightly against Naruto's body before he could stop himself. An almost involuntary reaction to his own arousal and the slow kiss.

"Oh, I've always known you're horny," Naruto teased, eyes sparkling with mirth. Slowly he trailed one hand down Sasuke's chest and abdomen to his arousal, fisting it lightly and lazily pumping it.

"Oh..." Sasuke groaned, though whether it was in acknowledgement of Naruto's observation or if it was because Naruto's pumping was making his legs spasm and his hips jerk forward he didn't know. "Naruto..." he moaned softly.

"Yes?" Now in a very playful mood Naruto paused in his ministrations and gave Sasuke an innocent grin.

A bereft groan tore from Sasuke's throat and whimpered very softly. "Don't stop... kono baka!" he snapped, the tension within him making him feel ready to burst but at the same time he was so... strained wasn't the right word but at the same time it fit, like a spring coiled to go off.

Laughing softly Naruto tightened his grip and resumed pumping Sasuke's swollen member, rubbing his thumb gently over the head at the end of each upstroke. It was so much fun to tease him. Purring he pulled Sasuke down into another deep kiss.

Returning the kiss Sasuke moaned and thrust into Naruto's hand, eager to find that blissful little piece of heaven, something he only really ever had found when doing things like this with Naruto. He pulled away to breathe a long low moan of Naruto's name into the blond's ear as he came, spilling his seed over Naruto's hand and lower body. And then he slumped onto Naruto, too weak to support even a small portion of his weight. There he lay, panting heavily, and completely satiated with his lover's taste still in his mouth. Life could only get a little better than this...

Happily bearing Sasuke's weight Naruto wriggled his arm out from between their bodies to he could hug him close, not caring that he was spreading cum all over their bodies. They would have to take a shower in a bit anyway. Purring deep in his chest Naruto nuzzled Sasuke's hair, filling his lungs with the other teen's scent. "My Sasuke..." he murmured, holding him a little tighter.

"All and always..." Sasuke murmured in lazy response and sighed happily. This weekend could only be made better if he didn't have a cast. That was the only flaw. Period.

They lay there peacefully until Naruto just couldn't stay still anymore. "Pretty boy needs to go on a diet... I'm all squished," he joked with a grin, wriggling a bit. "Bathtime you. Off. We're messy."

"Time to share a shower you mean..." Sasuke murmured and got off of Naruto with a little difficulty. One arm couldn't help him at all and the other was just plain weak from euphoria. "Let's go..."

----------A Few Hours Later--------
Sasuke's cell phone rang. And rang. And rang. Unfortunately for the caller, Sasuke's phone was in the living room while Sasuke himself was dead asleep in the bedroom, in a comfortable tumble of limbs with an equally dead asleep Naruto. Next to ring was the phone on the nightstand, and that was a lot harder to ignore. Grumbling and muttering curses Naruto rolled over and grabbed the phone. "What?" he barked, wanting to go back to sleep cuddled up with his boyfriend.

"Naruto?" a smooth voice said at the other end. "~Is Sasuke awake?~"

Grumbling some more he rolled over again and shook Sasuke. "It's for you..."

Sasuke took the phone and mumbled a groggy, "Hello."

"~Hey Sasuke. What happened to you? It sounds like you died,~" Gackt teased.

"~Small death...~" Sasuke answered with a smirk that was plainly noticeable in his voice.

Gackt chuckled. "~Gotcha. I'm on my way to pick you guys up right now. I'll be there in about twenty minutes. ...So, is he any good?~"

Wanting to go back to sleep Naruto burrowed into Sasuke's side, nibbling at his neck in silent request for him to get off the phone and cuddle with him.

"~Not that it's any of your business but... yes... very good. For as far as we've gone. I'll see you when you get here. Ja na...~" Sasule muttered and hung the phone up immediately after saying so. It wasn't his intention to be rude but he figured his friend would understand that he was far too lazy to carry a long conversation at the moment. "Ga-kun will be here in twenty minutes to get us..." he murmured and wrapped both arms around Naruto and kissing his forehead, huffing at the spiky blond bangs that tickled his nose.

"Okay... that means we have fifteen minutes until we have to get up," Naruto murmured back, hugging Sasuke's chest and kissing every inch of skin he could reach comfortably.

"Fifteen more minutes of this..." Sasuke murmured and stroked a hand down Naruto's back and over his butt. "I think I can handle that."

Scooting up a bit Naruto trailed kisses along Sasuke's jaw, nuzzling his cheek. "Sasuke..." he whispered just to hear the beloved name.

"Mmm... Naruto," he said back just for the same reason. It seemed appropriate. The warmth was a wonderful feeling, the two of them in bed together like this.

Sighing happily Naruto buried his face in Sasuke's neck, hugging him tight and throwing a leg between Sasuke's to twist their legs together. He was blissfully content and knew he could stay like this forever.

Fifteen minutes later, Sasuke sat up slowly and in effect pulled Naruto up with him. "C'mon... we have to get ready," he murmured and then cupped Naruto's chin, tipping his face up to kiss him passionately, tongue delving into warm, sweet tasting mouth. "Gackt will be here soon," he murred against Naruto's lips when he broke the kiss.

"Okay," Naurto said lowly and kissed him softly, a little hesitant to get out of bed. He wanted to stay here and keep cuddling, but he also wanted to go to the concert. Reluctantly he climbed out of the piles of pillows and grabbed clean clothes from their bags. Kissing Sasuke all the while he dressed him, his hands lingering at Sasuke's groin after doing up his jeans. He broke the kiss to help Sasuke wrestle into his shirt and then pulled his own clothes on.

Sasuke hadn't known dressing could be so... arousing. Usually it was the undressing that did that, but then... Naruto was unusual to begin with. Once the blond was dressed he pulled him close and kissed him slowly. It was then that there was a knock at the door. "Let's go..." he murmured and nibbled Naruto's lower lip before letting him go and turning to head towards the door.

"Konbanwa! ~I hope I'm not interrupting anything,~" Gackt said with a wicked smirk when Sasuke opened the door. "~You two ready to go? Don't forget a leash for your puppy,~" he joked.

Naruto came out of the kitchenette with an apple in his mouth, waiting for Sasuke to lead the way as he munched.

"~He doesn't need a leash... He's too well trained...~" Sasuke joked back with a soft laugh. He draped his right arm over Naruto's broad shoulders and kissed the blond's soft cheek. "Ikkuyo..." he said and they got into the limo headed for the Zepp.

---------------Dressing Room of the Zepp---------------
"~Do you know which song you want to sing? If you do 'U+K' it'd be funny if we got Naruto into one of the cat costumes,~" Gackt said to Sasuke, sitting at his station in the dressing room. The hair stylist had just finished with him and was now working with the other members of his band.

Naruto was having the time of his life exploring the dressing room, poking his nose in everything and being shooed away by the stylists who were laughing at his antics.

Sasuke leaned against the wall like a graceful black panther in a tree limb. He was certainly wearing the right color, complete with tight black pants and an open button up black sheer shirt with long sleeves. The shirt was loose and flowed about him gracefully, which made the cast on his one arm hardly noticeable but for the fact that it was always bent. "~'U+K' is fine... Naruto would love to get out there...~" Sasuke said casually, waiting for the band to finish getting ready. Sasuke was of secondary importance since, after all, there wouldn't be a concert if it wasn't for them. He didn't say anything but he was counting down the seconds before Gackt added something along the lines of '~And I think it would be wonderful to do a few other songs, like "Vanilla" and "Mirror"... and "Fragrance"...~'. ::Any moment now....:: he thought and smirked, waiting.

The hair stylist was done with the band and was now animatedly talking to Naruto – her English was quite good. It wasn't long before she had him in one of the chairs and playing with his hair, putting all sorts of gel and mouse into it. He was absolutely getting a kick out of it.

"~Why not do a few more songs?~" Gackt asked coaxingly, leaning back in his chair. "~You do 'Vanilla' better than I do if memory serves me right.~"

"~I knew that was coming...~" And Sasuke laughed a little before taking the seat one of the other band members had vacated so that he could have his own hair done. Really all the stylist could do was make sure the rooster tail stood out in the back and that his bangs swept like wings to frame his pretty face, though they only would do so when Sasuke turned his head a certain way. "~'Vanilla' is fine...~"

"What about 'Vanilla'?" Naruto asked from his seat, turning his head and getting scolded by the stylist playing with his hair.

"I'm going to sing it with Gackt," Sasuke said, staring straight forward. They'd already spent all the time they could spare coordinating the dances with the dancers and band members. Sasuke had been a quick study, needing to see any move only once. Naruto however had taken the longest but with much encouragement and some improvision, all would go well enough. No show was ever flawless after all.

That got a huge grin out of Naruto. Standing up he ran away to the bathroom to wash the mess of gel and mouse out of his hair, much to the stylist's dismay. He liked his hair better when it was all over the place. He came back with his head and collar damp, shaking his head and spraying water droplets everywhere. Fortunately for everyone else he'd already shaken most of the water out of his hair.

"~And 'Fragrance'?~" Gackt was asking Sasuke when Naruto came back.

The dark-haired youth tipped his head and thought a moment before nodding. "Mmm... Hai hai... ~And 'Fragrance'.~" However, Sasuke's eyes had traveled to Naruto and he locked eyes with the blond over everyone's head since he was standing now and most of the band was seated. His look said plainly what he thought of Naruto's soggy appearance. If only there had been a bed nearby and a little... privacy.

Gackt smirked as he watched Sasuke and Naruto gaze at each other. ...Well, Sasuke gazed while Naruto grinned and gave him a wink. "~Need a room, you two?~" he teased, getting a laugh out of one of his bandmembers.

Naruto walked over to lean against the wall by Sasuke, hands in his pockets. There were enough interesting things going on around him that he wasn't getting impatient for the show to start yet.

"~You'd hear us anyway,~" Sasuke jested back and looped his right arm around Naruto's waist, pulling him close. "I want to take you back to the hotel right now..." he murmured in Naruto's ear teasingly. It was a brief statement that was meant for Naruto's ears only.

"Jeez, haven't you gotten enough action today?" Naruto complained jokingly, quietly enough that only Sasuke heard it, while turning his head to give Sasuke a light kiss. "Horny bastard."

"~Hey, what about the small back room that we use when we need to scream after our agent's been by? That's pretty sound-proof,~" one of the bandmembers teased, grinning. It was fun to mess with Sasuke.

"~Yeah,~" Gackt agreed, his smirk getting bigger. "~There's still a half hour until the show starts...~"

"~Your stylists would kill us... for messing up my hair and rumpling the clothes. And you know it. I know what you guys are thinking... voyeurs...~" Well Sasuke had certainly turned that around on them hadn't he. And then to Naruto he said softly, "With you... there is no such thing as 'enough action'..."

"Horny bastard. You need a muzzle," Naruto taunted affectionately, shoving Sasuke away playfully. He was having a hard enough time not alright jumping Sasuke – he was absolutely bewitching in the black outfit and styled hair – without Sasuke making suggestions like going back to the hotel.

Gackt just laughed at being called a voyeur. "~True, the stylists would kill you... ah well.~" He was suddenly all business again. "~Do you want to do your songs at the beginning or end? I think it'd be better to bring you out at the end but it's up to you.~"

"~Whatever you deem best is fine, Gackt. You know show business... you know what will wow and woo the crowd. That's what this is about right?~" Sasuke answered smirking at Naruto's comment. Time was beginning to fly now that the minutes were ticking down. It felt like they would be out on stage any minute now.

"~At the end then,~" Gackt said with a nod. "~We'll save 'Fragrance' for last. Do 'U+K' and 'Vanilla' first. I'll go tell the light crew.~" He left to do just that.

When there was only five minutes to go before the concert started a person from the backstage team led Naruto and Sasuke to a dark balcony above and to the side of the stage, from where they could watch comfortably and with absolute privacy. "~I'll come back to get you when it's time for you to go up,~" she said before leaving them alone.

Leaning on the edge of the balcony with a smirk Naruto said, "You sure have weird friends..."

"How are they any weirder than you?" Sasuke asked and wrapped his arms around Naruto's waist, despite the cumbersome cast, and rested his chin on Naruto's shoulder to watch over the railing as well as Gackt and his band lit some fires under some thousand-odd libidos. The man couldn't dance very well but his voice and good looks made up for his lack of concentration on grace. He could be quite graceful but that never seemed to fare well when he was singing. All of his heart went into that. Sasuke admired that he didn't let one fault stop him from sharing his wonderful gift with the world. Gackt had always been a person he admired as a friend.

Never able to stay completely still when listening to music Naruto began to sway in time with the beat, resting his arms on top of Sasuke's. Gackt's voice was even better in person, but to Naruto it still was inferior to Sasuke's voice. He laughed cheerfully as the girls screamed in excitement and at Gackt's attempts at dancing.

Swaying with him Sasuke smirked and shook his head. "It wasn't always like this... he used be a big dork... as you would say. It's amazing how someone like that can clean up so insanely well... ne?" His voice was low and even in Naruto's ear as they moved slightly, together.

"Mmm," Naruto hummed in agreement, leaning back into Sasuke and closing his eyes to let the music and the warmth of Sasuke's body carry him away. This was almost better than staying in bed with Sasuke all day. Almost.

Tilting his head to rest against Naruto's, Sasuke sang along softly with the song – "Mirror" – that Gackt was belting out there. It was nothing for him to croon to Naruto softly, no matter how upbeat the song was.

It wasn't long before someone came to fetch them for their debuts though. The coordinator told them "U+K" first and Sasuke assisted where he could in suiting Naruto up in a giant cat suit. The blond was allowed to hold the head of the costume until performance time and Sasuke just shook his head. "You look ridiculous. Adorable but ridiculous."

"I am so lucky you don't have a camera... if Baa-chan saw this she'd never let me live it down," Naruto muttered, blushing. He felt ridiculous.

"Oh that's what I forgot to tell you... This concert is being broadcast live, so it's being recorded back at the hotel," Sasuke said dead seriously.

"Then you better hope none of your fangirls back at school are also Gackt fans... you won't believe some of the stuff I've found on Kazaa," Naruto said with equal seriousness, though there was a spark of wicked mirth in his eyes.

"Even if – on some off chance – they find out... It isn't going to matter. I have you... so they haven't got a chance," Sasuke stated, still as serious. "It's time," he stated and helped Naruto get the cat head on. Gackt was walking towards them for a drink of water and super fast change of clothes even as Sasuke said it.

"~Hey. You guys ready?~" Gackt asked as he tugged his shirt off and pulled on the one an assistant handed him. When Sasuke nodded he said, "~I'll announce you right before the second verse. See you on stage in a bit!~" He dashed back out into the lights after downing a glass of water. Moments later he was belting "U+K". "Dakara.../nanimo iwanai de/kimi wa tada sukoshi ima wa obieteiru dake dakara/nanimo iwanai de/kimi wa tada sukoshi kanashimi no naka ni iru dake dakara/saigo no toki no naka de inori o sasageru..."

Right after the first verse he announced, "Minna-san, ~please welcome my good friend, Sasuke!~"

Walking calmly out onto the stage Sasuke waved to the crowd with his right hand and smiled his most placid smile. He adjusted the mic attached to him and fell right into the next verse with Gackt right beside him, the two of them huddling close at first like they were young and singing in the bathhouse together once more. And then Sasuke let himself step into the dance. "Tsuki no mahou wa... shalle a le rilla/amai koe de sasayaku kara/mou ichido dake kanau nara/te o tsunaide kimi to waraitai/yume no naka de.../kioku no naka de kitto mata aeru ne..."

Just then people in cat costumes, the kind found in amusement parks for little kids, ran out onto the stage and began dancing. At first Naruto felt like a complete idiot but it wasn't long before he was having a ball, laughing and dancing. He didn't get the steps quite right but it didn't matter because nobody could get them perfectly in the awkward suits.

Together with Sasuke, Gackt sang as they danced along with the cats, "Kimi no egao ga torimodoseru nara/hohoenda kimi ga iru nara/kanashimi wa yasashisa ni kawaru yo/'tooi kioku no mama de...' negai o komete/tsuki no mahou wa... shalle a le rilla/kimi ga namida o wasureru nara/yasashisa ni furerareru nara/kimi no soba de nemuritai..."

About three minutes into the four minute song, men in ballerina tutus and the pink leotards and tights nanced out of the back of the stage to prance two rows right towards front and center stage. Only they divided each row headed for left or right at center stage, parading behind the cats and off the stage through the right and left exits. Sasuke had foreseen that coming... Naruto however had no idea that there would be man-ballerinas. They were only there for a split second, leaving first-time viewers wondering if they had really even seen them, but as the song wound to a close it was obvious that they had been there if only because everyone else was talking about them too, old time-comers and new time-comers alike.

The upbeat song ended and the lights flashed before going out, resulting in an eruption of cheers from the crowd. The cats filed off the stage as Gackt leaned over and said to Sasuke just loudly enough that he could hear him through the earplugs, "~I think they like you. Having fun?~" They had not even half a minute before the opening chords of "Vanilla" started.

Sasuke only managed a laughing, breathless, "Ha~..." before "Vanilla" struck up and for that he covered his mic. "~Are we going to get personal?~" It was obvious that he was asking if he and Gackt were going to give the audience a "freak" show. They had enough time for a yes or no answer from Gackt before the lyrics started.

Gackt shook his head quickly. "~Your puppy would probably kill me,~" he said with a smirk just before the lights came back on and they began to sing the song in perfect harmony, dancing in time with the beat. [translated to English for your "listening" pleasure! =P they're not really singing in English, but this will make more sense if those of you that don't know Japanese know what they're saying] "You are a sincere moralist, running a pretty finger over me. I am a pure terrorist, just as you hoped a revolution is happening." It wasn't long before Gackt was getting quite personal with his band, humping them and leaning back into them while he was on his knees. "A specialist bound in romance, long fingernails got me erect. An egoist who wants to confirm love, I want to struggle on until I'm deep inside of you."

Sasuke let the music take him, let his body go to the beat and the rhythm, his lithe frame turning to fluid muscles flexing and swaying in a parody of... so much more than dancing. His voice was liquid sin, pure and blatant lust and with Gackt's voice to back him... the song was absolutely wicked. "You keep pulling your face away from mine... Ah, before I lose my mind... Would it be okay to love, too? In this shaking night... Just like this... More, Deeper... As those almost maddening lips that I've gotten used to melt together. I am...Your...Vanilla." Out of the corner of his eye he could see Gackt getting friendly with his all too willing bandmates and it made him ache... to have Naruto. Bending in a way most people would consider painful, though it looked all too delectable and fun on him, he let his eyes wander, body still gyrating to the music, and found a pair wide blue eyes staring at him. He didn't even notice when his shirt slid off his right shoulder, revealing more creamy flesh to the screaming audience just before he straightened.

As soon as he'd gotten backstage Naruto had pulled the cat costume off. That thing was hot! Hearing the beginning of "Vanilla" he'd dashed to the edge of the stage just behind a curtain to watch. He was soon completely entranced by the way Sasuke was dancing, wanting nothing more than to run out there and dance with him. "'God... oh, you're getting too involved', You're cool like plastic. An ecologist caught in a hot glance, I'm impatient for your burning kiss. Your distorting face is, ah, I'll do it myself," he heard them sing. His eyes just about fell out of his face when he saw one of Gackt's bandmembers practically gave him a blowjob through his pants right there on stage. That was definitely something you didn't see in American concerts!

His gaze moved back to Sasuke and he groaned softly at the look in Sasuke's dark eyes. Not able to resist it anymore Naruto ran out onto the stage to dance with his boyfriend, molding himself to Sasuke's swaying back and running his hands up and down Sasuke's sides while he kissed the nape of his neck.

Sasuke withheld a groan and pressed back into Naruto's body. "Would it be okay to love, too? In the shaking night... Just like this... More, Faster... Painfully familiar wet lips, don't need words... you and I are not burning love." A spin in the song brought a spin in their dance-steps, as well as the instrumental intermission, and Naruto and Sasuke, sides to the audience and face to face, found themselves groin to hip each. Sasuke locked eyes with Naruto, his look absolutely, seductively... carnal. And together they dipped and ground together, Sasuke finding a vocal release with the next lyrics. "Ah, how many mornings have we greeted together? Ah, does this night ever have to end? Ah, spread across the sky... Ah, white flowers surround us and die..." And fitting to the pace of the song, the grinding was slow and sensuous.

Gackt caught a glimpse of them out of the corner of his eye before he was "trapped" in a man-wich – a bandmember behind and in front of him, the three of them swaying together as he and Sasuke sang, "Would it be okay to love, too? In the shaking night, Just like this... 'I've seen a tail'. It's almost embarrassing, I've fallen for you. A crew sees cring knees, I wanna need. Not betray!!" [gotta love engrish... ^^;] The man-wich separated and Gackt danced as they sung the last lines.

His hands sliding down to cup Sasuke's rear and grind them together harder, Naruto moaned softly and didn't even bother to try and tear his gaze away from Sasuke's. He barely registered it as they sang, "Would it be okay to love, too? In the shaking night, Just like this... More, You are... As those almost maddening hips I've gotten used to melt together. You are... my... keeper." Having heard Sasuke sing "Vanilla" to him many times he knew that the song was over, at least the singing part, and drew Sasuke closer for a passionate kiss, not caring in the least that they were on a stage in front of thousands of people and millions more thanks to the TV cameras.

Sasuke was all too willing and returned the kiss with a lusty passion that was obvious to anyone looking. His casted arm rested between them and on the side away from the audience while his right hand came up to tangle in the hair at the nape of Naruto's neck. Already they were gravitating towards the right stage exit.

The last notes of the song rang through the concert hall and the lights went out, giving Naruto the perfect opportunity to pull Sasuke away backstage without breaking the kiss. He wanted to find a private corner and he wanted to find one _now_. They'd almost made it off the stage when the lights came back on.

"~Thank you for coming out tonight!~" Gackt said to the roaring audience. "~We have just one more song for you and then we must say good night. Now if Sasuke- Sasuke?~" Looking around he spotted the two teens glued together at the mouth and chuckled, walking over to grab the back of Sasuke's shirt. He smirked when Naruto broke the kiss to glare darkly at him. "~Relax, you can have him back in a bit. I just need to borrow him for one more song,~" he assured... right into the mic so that everyone could hear.

Growling Naruto looked questioningly at Sasuke. He hadn't understood a word of it and definitely didn't want to let Sasuke go.

"I promised..." Sasuke said huskily to Naruto, not liking the idea any more himself of having to part with Naruto. "I'll be right back... Five, six minutes tops," he assured his boyfriend and gave Naruto one last, sweet kiss before releasing him and, groaning softly at the loss, he followed Gackt back out to the center of the stage. ::Last song and then hotel... limo ride there... then hotel...::

Reluctantly Naruto let him go and went backstage to wait, watching Sasuke with burning eyes and shaking slightly from holding back the urge to run out there and grab Sasuke. Sasuke had promised to sing with Gackt and he would... but that didn't mean Naruto had to like it right then.

"~As I was saying,~" Gackt said to the laughing crowd. Well, some of them were laughing. The rest of them were demanding that Naruto come back out so he and Sasuke could make out some more. "~One more song and then we will say good night.~" He nodded to the band to begin "Fragrance". It was a slow, quiet, sensual song meant to calm the crowd and it did its job well. At the end of it he and Sasuke thanked the audience and bowed, waiting for the lights to go out before leaving the stage. As soon as Gackt got backstage the house lights turned on and they could hear the crowd getting ready to leave.

Naruto straightened from his lean against the wall and watched Sasuke approach him with hungry eyes.

"~Thank you, Gackt,~" Sasuke said in the most respectful manner possible. "~We enjoyed the evening. Will you being seeing us off at the airport come Monday?~" he asked as he reached out, pulling Naruto to him and holding him tightly to his body, simply hugging him despite wanting so much more than that. He and Naruto were not leaving until Monday morning. That meant at least lunch and dinner with Gackt tomorrow as well. Gently he nuzzled Naruto's cheek.

"~Of course. I mean to spend as much time catching up with you as your puppy allows,~" Gackt joked with a smirk. "~And thank you for finally singing with me. This was my best concert ever.~" Noting that Naruto was beginning to squirm from impatience his smirk grew. "~I have to stay here for a while and do a few things. You know the way to the limo. Just send it back here when you get to the hotel. I'll see you tomorrow, ne?~"

"~Yes, thank you,~" Sasuke said and pulled away from Naruto just long enough to hug Gackt before tucking Naruto under his shoulder and heading for the limo, completely neglecting that he still had the concert's outfit on. They reached the limo without incident and were in and on their way to their hotel again in moments.

It took every ounce of Naruto's self-control to not strip and jump Sasuke in the limo. The instant the door to their hotel room was closed and locked behind them however he threw his self-control out the window and pinned Sasuke to the wall with his body, devouring his mouth in a ferocious kiss as his hands grabbed Sasuke's hips to grind them together. He'd been half-hard since the beginning of "Vanilla" and was quickly becoming fully aroused, starving for release at Sasuke's hands.

Slammed roughly into the wall, Sasuke gasped – though it was far from a gasp of displeasure – and wrapped his arms around Naruto's waist, right hand sliding down to grab one firm and flexing buttcheek, squeezing as he pushed his hips back into Naruto's. Being pinned to the wall... oh, with no place to go, Sasuke was in heaven. The solid wall behind him gave them the perfect brace for grinding and Sasuke's hand on Naruto's rump was more than encouraging, it was demanding. "Fukaku..." he whisper-groaned into Naruto's ear and then licked the lobe as he pulled Naruto harder against himself to demonstrate. The relatively thick, soft-leather pants were far too tight, but it wasn't all too bad. In fact it was aiding Naruto greatly, adding that much more pressure and friction.

Growling Naruto pressed harder against Sasuke, giving him virtually no room to move as he ground him into the wall. His hands slid up from Sasuke's hips to push off his shirt and he ran feverish hands over Sasuke's chest. Moaning as he became almost painfully aroused – his jeans were much too tight – Naruto ducked his head and attacked Sasuke's neck with teeth and tongue.

Sasuke threw his head back, ignoring the dull ache of the back of his skull hitting the wall. "Bed..." he managed to gasp out between moans. If this was going to go any farther they needed to find a bed, or at least something like a bed. The couch would work but Sasuke was hoping for the bed. There was more room and it would be more forgiving on his shoulder.

The word "bed" managed to get through the haze of lust completely enveloping Naruto's brain and he reached down, pulling Sasuke's legs up to loop around his waist. Leaning away from the wall he wrapped his arms around Sasuke's waist and carried him to the bedroom, falling into the pillows with Sasuke beneath him after tugging his own shirt off and tossing it to the floor. Growling almost ferally as desire consumed him he began to explore Sasuke's chest with his mouth, leaving behind moist trails and lovebite-marks.

Sasuke tightened his legs about Naruto's waist and purred, lacing his fingers in Naruto's messy hair continually. Occasionally he stroked the back of Naruto's neck, fingers tickling the short hairs there. His body heaved with his ragged breathing and sweat trickled all over his skin. The mouth on his flesh was making everything warm and fuzzy, his vision hazy and his skin tingle. Strands of hair stuck to sweaty cheeks, but he couldn't even spare them a thought of annoyance. "Naruto..." he murmured, panting heavily as he arched up, rubbing their groins together even as Naruto found one pert nipple with curious lips.

Murring at the feel of Sasuke's fingers in his hair, Naruto wrapped his lips around Sasuke's nipple and suckled while he teased it with his tongue. Questing fingers found the other nipple and rolled it between thumb and forefinger. Naruto trailed his other hand down Sasuke's abdomen to his groin and he fiddled with the fly, trying to get the pants off him. His sweaty skin gleamed in the low light of the light of the room, beads of sweat rolling off him to land on Sasuke or the bed.

Eager to move things forward Sasuke dropped his legs to the mattress and released Naruto's quickly soaking locks to reach down between them, making quick work – despite being one-handed – of the fastenings of his pants. As soon as they were unbuttoned and unzipped Sasuke grasped Naruto's left shoulder and squeezed, lifting his hips for assistance in removing the too tight leather. His casted arm was lifted to curl above his head, Sasuke – for now – ignored the protests of his shoulder. They were small complaints of the nerves anyway and it was easy to ignore them with everything else going on.

Not needing any more encouragement Naruto stopped his play on Sasuke's chest to lift himself onto his knees and yank Sasuke's pants down, throwing them to some random corner of the room and leaving Sasuke bare. The sight of Sasuke lying there, panting and needy, made Naruto groan low in his throat. Heated blue eyes raked hungrily over Sasuke's naked form and Naruto felt his breath hitch when his eyes landed on Sasuke's fully awakened desire. Trembling hands slid up Sasuke's thighs to rest at the junction of his legs and hips, pushing his legs further apart as Naruto licked his lips nervously.

"Naruto?" Sasuke's velvety, wanting voice queried softly. A pause was totally uncharacteristic of Naruto. Relaxing his legs he let them fall as far apart as they could and acutely felt a tremor run through his body at how he felt so wanton. Trembling inside, mostly with anticipation – could Naruto be contemplating what he thought he was? – of release, Sasuke moaned a little as Naruto licked his lips, the motion sending a bolt of lust right to his groin.

Making a decision Naruto licked his lips again and slowly scooted backwards so that he could lay over Sasuke, his forearms bracing his weight on either side of Sasuke's abdomen. He leaned his head down and tentatively lapped up the bead of precum leaking from his lover's arousal. It was very bitter, but not completely distasteful. With slow, experimenting licks he explored Sasuke's erection from root to head, inhaling the musky, masculine smell radiating from it.

The fingers of his right hand reflexively found Naruto's hair and clenched in sweaty locks as Sasuke arched his back, letting out a long, loud moan followed by strained, tiny pants. His heels dug into the bed as his knees spread wider legs having drawn up a little. This was one of Sasuke's favorite sexual favors. There was just something about the trust that went into such an act – teeth could do some serious damage to skin that sensitive – not to mention the sensation of having a warm, wet and slightly rough tongue caressing the most sensitive part of his body. His eyes rolled back into his head and moaned again loudly, his abdomen tensing repeatedly as he fought the urge to ram his hips upward into the torturously teasing contact.

Slowly, carefully, Naruto took the head of Sasuke's length into his mouth. He'd never done this before and didn't want to chance accidentally hurting Sasuke in any way. He sucked on it lightly, teasing the tiny slit with his tongue and purring at Sasuke's taste. Sliding his arms towards his body he grabbed Sasuke's hips tightly to keep him in place. Bit by bit Naruto took more of the length into his mouth, gradually sucking harder as Sasuke vocalized his pleasure. It made him heady to think that he was having this effect on the pale teen and he groaned lightly.

There wasn't a chance in hell that he could hold out against an assault like that. His fingers clenched in Naruto's hair as he came, suddenly and with a hoarse scream, unable to hold out period after all the grinding and teasing of earlier. The scream sounded remotely like Naruto's name though it was mostly groan and then he was limp and panting. He hadn't truly expected Naruto to blow him so soon. He would have figured that Naruto would take some time to build up his courage for something so bold. Panting he let his fingers loosen in Naruto's hair and huffed, trying to regain breath. "God... Naruto..."

The sudden flood of hot cum caught Naruto off-guard and he just managed to swallow most of it, the rest of it dribbling down his chin and Sasuke's length. Panting as he released Sasuke from his mouth he shakily climbed off the bed and disappeared for a moment, returning with a damp towel and clean face. He gently wiped Sasuke clean of the mess before snuggling up to Sasuke's good side. Far from spent himself Naruto rubbed his clothed groin against Sasuke's hip while he trailed tender kisses along Sasuke's neck.

Sasuke smirked, feeling entirely languid after such a fierce completion. "Take your pants off, koibitto..." Sasuke murmured, bending his neck so he could murmur into Naruto's ear. "I can't... or else they'd have been gone a long time ago..."

A short moment later Naruto was cuddling up to Sasuke's side again, this time nude. Soft gasps ghosted over Sasuke's neck as Naruto ground into his hip, kissing the pale column of flesh and leaving behind faint red marks.

Sasuke rolled onto his side and pushed Naruto onto his back gently. Curling his left arm under his head he reached out with his right and ran light fingertips over Naruto's chest and abdomen before softly caressing the other young man's raging hard on. With a smirk at Naruto's soft noises he leaned forward and nuzzled Naruto's ear, licking and kissing and nibbling at it while his hand loosely fisted Naruto's erection, pumping lazily. "You... are so alluring when you're like this..." he whispered and lapped at the sensitive spot behind Naruto's ear. "Erotic..." he added. He was still horny even after a climax like that. Naruto and all of the sexuality on the stage had really gotten his hormones flowing or something. Not that Sasuke really minded.

"Sasuke..." Naruto moaned, thrusting shallowly into Sasuke's hand. Wanting a kiss he turned his head and captured Sasuke's mouth, running his tongue over Sasuke's lips and demanding entrance. He slid a hand up Sasuke's neck to the back of his head, tangling fingers in damp raven hair to pull his lover's mouth closer. This was heaven and yet deliciously sinful at the same time...

Complying Sasuke opened his mouth and let his tongue come out, twirling it about Naruto's as he leaned in closer for the kiss, his mouth open and inviting. His right hand tightened a fraction on Naruto's erection and lengthened the pulls on the other's arousal without making them any faster. Oh, how he loved to tease...

Growling into the kiss Naruto broke it just long enough to gasp, "Dammit Sasuke... stop teasing!" before starting another fierce kiss. His thrusts into Sasuke's hand became more forceful as he tried to get more friction on his aching erection. He felt like he was burning with pleasurable sensation and it was all collecting in his groin, making the climb for the edge and that wonderful fall.

Sasuke chuckled into the kiss and tightened his fist, increasing the speed of his pumping. Alright, teasing was over... it was time to see that wonderfully gorgeous look on Naruto's face as he came. Pulling away from the kiss he propped himself up on his bad arm, ignoring the soreness of his shoulder as he leaned over to nuzzle at Naruto's cheeks and face with his nose. "I want to see..." he murmured huskily and gave Naruto's erection a squeeze on an up stroke, his thumb rubbing over the tip and smearing the leaking cum about the head.

When Sasuke squeezed him Naruto couldn't hold it in anymore and he came with a loud moan-scream of Sasuke's name, arching and spraying his seed all over his abdomen and Sasuke's hand. Breathing raggedly he collapsed back onto the bed with a gasp. Slowly his eyes fluttered open and he gazed dazedly at Sasuke with a tired smile, floating down slowly from cloud nine. He felt utterly and completely boneless and had no plans to move until he absolutely had to.

Sasuke kissed him tenderly for a moment and then stood, grabbing up the towel from his own release and headed into the bathroom. He returned with a clean hand and wiped Naruto off with gentle, loving strokes of the warm, wet cloth. Then he tossed the cloth onto the nightstand and stretched out on his back, hoping Naruto would take pity on his poor newly abused shoulder and cuddle up to him like that. He was feeling weary in a satiated way and he was holding the image of Naruto taking pleasure at his hand close to his thoughts and heart at that moment.

Sleepy and completely sated Naruto rolled over to cuddle up against Sasuke's side, using his good shoulder as a pillow. A yawn just about tore his face in half and he burrowed his nose into Sasuke's chest, wrapping an arm around his waist to hold him close. "Your horny bastardness is catching," he teased affectionately, his voice quiet and lazy.

"Good... then my evil plan to convert you into a sex toy is working..." Sasuke actually teased back. It still felt odd to him and so from that his voice was always serious even when it was obvious that his words were meant in jest, but around Naruto, Sasuke felt he could joke and so he did... though infrequently.

"Evil jackass," Naruto chuckled, snuggling closer. "And then what? How is turning me into a sex toy going to help you take over the world?" he joked, drawing circles on Sasuke's chest with light fingers. He felt completely at peace... something that happened so rarely in his life that he knew he would treasure this night forever.

"Who said anything about the world... I only care that you... are mine." Sasuke snuck his arm about Naruto's shoulders to hold him closer as he said this and nuzzled the top of Naruto's head. He felt a filling contentment that he hadn't felt since before his family had died. It was something he would cherish the rest of his life because he knew what it was like to lose this... anshin (Japanese for peace/safety/security/etc.).

"That's all there is to your evil plan?" Naruto laughed softly, lifting his head just enough to kiss the underside of Sasuke's chin. "You are a disgrace to everyone who's ever been called a bad guy," he teased brightly. "Normally they have at least one plan to take over or destroy the world."

Sasuke made some small and nonchalant noise before letting his casted arm rest above Naruto's arm over his stomach. "Like I said. The world is insignificant to me. I have what I want." He kept his voice low and his tone even, so that his words were like a caress in themselves.

Chuckling Naruto nuzzled his neck tenderly. "And just how do you know you really have me? I could be a spy from the good guy, searching for a way to demolish your evil empire and just pretending that you have me," he teased. He belonged completely to Sasuke and he knew it now without a doubt after everything that had happened today... but that didn't mean he couldn't joke about it.

"Alright... Fine then. I'll ask you. Naruto... who do you 'belong' to?" Sasuke asked, his voice dropping finally to a more pillow-talk voice. Bedroom voice without the seduction behind it would be a good way to describe it.

With a playful grin Naruto propped himself up on one arm to look down at Sasuke. "What will you give me if I tell you?" he purred teasingly, his eyes dancing with mirth.

"Anything you want..." Sasuke purred in return, his eyes hooded as his right hand ran through sunshine yellow spikes.

His grin softening to a smile Naruto pressed a sweet, tender kiss to Sasuke's lips. "All I want is you... because I belong to you..." he murmured against Sasuke's mouth. He paused for a moment before adding, breathing it more than speaking it, "Because I... love you... Sasuke..." His entire heart in his words he kissed Sasuke again lovingly, cradling his face in his hands.

Returning the kiss despite feeling a little stunned, Sasuke brought his right hand up to cradle one soft, tanned cheek. When they broke for breath, Sasuke murmured against Naruto's lips, "I love you, too, Naruto..." without hesitation. It felt so right.

Naruto's heart swelled at Sasuke's words, making his chest feel much too tight. Closing suspiciously bright and watery eyes he kissed Sasuke tenderly, pouring all of his love into it. Life felt so wonderful right at that moment that it could only have been a dream... but the residual sensations from cuming at Sasuke's hand were telling him without a doubt that this wasn't a dream.

His thumb gently caressed Naruto's cheek as their kiss went on and on filled with passion and love. At some point that hand had reached down and pressed Naruto's hip, guiding him until he was straddling Sasuke's waist and only then did he break the kiss. Then that arm wrapped around Naruto's waist while the casted arm came up to join its mate and pulled him down, making him into a living blanket.

Smiling softly Naruto kissed him one last time before pulling a few pillows over them as a makeshift blanket and tucking his head into the crook of Sasuke's neck, settling comfortably on top of him in preparation for a night of peaceful sleep. "Good night, Sasuke," he murmured, his voice full of pure happiness and love.

"Good night, koi," he murmured and nuzzled Naruto's hair. It wasn't long before the room was filled with warm, serene silence.

TBC...
