Naruto rubbed the fingers of his right hand together and frowned at the scratchy noise made by the bandages. He’d gotten used to them for the most part, but there was just something off-putting about the noise when he isolated himself as he’d done now. There was nothing around for miles, save for trees and wildlife, the gentle sound of the wind moving through the leaves, and him and his scratchy bandages. He closed his eyes and breathed deeply, spreading his fingers out to cease the sound as he inhaled that scents around him, enjoying the musty smell of old earth hidden in the dank depths of the forest.

The faintest of noises reached him, the sound of leaves gently rustling that was the tiniest bit off-tempo with the gentle breeze. He felt the air move subtly about his tall frame, smelt something other than old earth and tree sap, and smiled as he slowly turned around.

“You actually came,” he said as opened his eyes. He raised his hand in greeting, smiling wider as he took in the long white cloak that encased his friend. “I’m guessing you’re… fashionably late for a reason. Eh, Sasuke?”

“Tch,” Sasuke replied, stepping closer to Naruto. “I don’t believe you actually know what the term means, idiot.” He came out of the shadows and stood right in front of Naruto, his mouth settled in a slight frown as he gazed down at him.

“Whatever, bastard,” he replied easily. His grin slipped into something softer as he continued, “I’m glad you could come.”

Sasuke made a slight movement, his cloak barely rippling. “What do you want?”

“What do you mean?” He raised his left hand to slide his fingers through his hair. It still surprised him when he ran out of hair, the locks no longer the length they used to be, though he really should be used to it by now. He laughed at himself and dropped his hand. “It’s Halloween night. I thought we could get together and have some fun!”

Sasuke’s face didn’t change, but Naruto knew an incredulous stare when he saw one.

“You called me out here to the middle of nowhere to ‘have some fun’ for a children’s ‘holiday’?”

Naruto scowled and put his hands on his hips. “No, I arranged for us to meet away from others on a night no one would miss us so that we could hang out like the friends we are, bastard.”

“Because we’ve hung out so many times,” Sasuke mocked him, his frown lifting briefly into a smirk that Naruto remembered from the old days—from the before.

“It’s a new age, Sasuke. Let’s go.” He reached out his right hand and grabbed Sasuke’s arm, the one hidden in the folds of his cloak. Sasuke stiffened at the touch, but he allowed himself to be pulled along as Naruto turned and leapt into the trees.

The sun had gone down hours ago, but he and Sasuke easily glided through the trees, Naruto slightly ahead since only he knew where they were going. He really hated to admit it, but he was surprised that Sasuke hadn’t just left when he’d announced his plans to hang out. The quiet man still didn’t like being around people, but he certainly had changed in Naruto’s estimation from the way he used to be, in the ways that really mattered, anyways.

“Where are we going?” Sasuke asked after half an hour had slipped past. Naruto turned his head to the right and grinned, causing Sasuke’s eyes to narrow in suspicion.

“Nowhere bad, I promise. Just meeting a few people who asked me to stop by.” Well, they’d asked him to stop by when he’d still been training with Jiraiya, but he figured it had been an open invitation, a kind of ‘whenever he felt like it’ sort of thing. He’d really been too desperate to grow stronger and get Sasuke to return home back in those days to take them up on it. Though, to be honest, he’d regretted not going ever since. It sounded… really fun.

Sasuke stopped suddenly. Naruto landed on a branch ahead of him and turned around. Sasuke’s stance radiated intense dislike, though more at the situation than Naruto, he guessed. He rolled his eyes and jumped back to Sasuke’s branch.

“What is it?”

Sasuke’s eyes narrowed even further, hints of red and purple peeking through his lashes. “I don’t want to meet people, Naruto.”

“Come on, Sasuke! They probably won’t even know you’re there. Just… relax and stuff. Let your hair down.” Sasuke said nothing, but as he didn’t immediately turn and head back the way they’d come, Naruto just smiled and resumed the lead. After a few seconds, he heard Sasuke following.

Ten more minutes passed before the first sounds of revelry reached Naruto’s ears. He could hear the low banging of drums and the high-pitched hum of a constant chant. His heart began to race at the sound, an eagerness of a sort that he was unfamiliar with beginning to overcome him. He sped up, ever-alert to Sasuke behind him, and jumped the last bit of distance between the last branch and the outer ring of the clearing.

Sasuke landed next to him, tense and radiating unease. “What the hell is this, Naruto?”

They looked out before them, the forest on the other side nearly invisible in the darkness, but for faint dregs of light that reached the tall tree trunks from the various bonfires that burned in a circle around the clearing. Men and women in various stages of undress danced and chanted around a centerpiece that housed a bull, its horns bedecked with fruiting grapevines. Others gathered around bubbling cauldrons as items were dropped in one by one. Laughter and singing and chatter filtered through the chants and drumming, exciting Naruto even more.

At his question, several of the revelers stopped their actions and glanced their way. Naruto immediately recognized the few who had invited him years ago, and they him, apparently. They rushed his way, two men and one woman, stopping only long enough to grab some things that lay atop a gilded table adorned with food and wine and a myriad of other things he couldn’t identify from such a distance. As they approached them, Sasuke made as if to jump away, but Naruto reached out and grasped his cloak.

They wore white, the material glowing orange as they passed through the ring of bonfires. The men and woman said nothing as they stopped in front of Naruto, but they smiled and moved to don him with the items. One of the men placed a crown made from the leaves of the grapevine atop his head, while the other did the same for Sasuke. As they stepped back, the woman bowed her head and motioned for them to follow her as they turned to head back the way they’d come.

Naruto did so eagerly, pulling Sasuke along by the grip on his cloak. They walked between two large bonfires, and the woman guided them to a large rock close to another bonfire, its location a perfect vantage point for watching the entire clearing. An animal pelt had been lain out at the base of the rock and next to it a smaller gilded table that also held food and wine. The woman made a gesture that indicated he and Sasuke should sit. Naruto looked at the pelt once more, wrinkling his nose when he identified it as a fox skin, but sat anyway. He reclined against the rock and looked up at Sasuke expectantly.

After a moment, Sasuke finally sat down next to Naruto, his back straight and his eyes glaring out at the dancing revelers. “What the hell is this, Naruto?” he eventually asked.

“Hm.” Naruto reached out and grabbed a goblet of wine from the table next to him. “What does it look like?” Sasuke shot a nasty glare Naruto’s way, to which Naruto only shrugged. “What does it matter? It’s a party. Have fun.”

“It looks like an orgy, not a party.” Naruto sipped his wine as he glanced in the direction Sasuke indicated, watching as a few men and women started to disrobe more as they danced closer than necessary.

“It might be,” he conceded. When Sasuke glared at him again, he merely waved his concern aside. “I didn’t come here for that, Sasuke. Like I said, they invited me, and I felt like checking it out.”

As he smiled at Sasuke, eruptions of light from one of the bubbling cauldrons caught their attention, for a moment the greenish-blue light engulfing that of the bonfires. The sound of laughter grew louder, and the bull began to bellow and snort, stamping at the ground. The light eventually died down, and the revelers gathered around the cauldron with their wine goblets held out. The sight reminded Naruto of his own drink and that Sasuke didn’t have one. He reached over and grabbed another goblet, using it to hit Sasuke’s arm when the other failed to notice his offer.

“You expect me to stay here?” Sasuke asked him, his voice portraying his dark mood.

“Well, you don’t have to,” Naruto said, his eyes lowering as he frowned. “But you wouldn’t want to leave me here alone, would you? What if I never get home?” He looked up at Sasuke through his lashes, watching as Sasuke’s eyebrow twitched. He chuckled quietly. “Come on, Sasuke. I just want to hang out with you.” He gently rocked the goblet of wine from side to side, indicating that Sasuke should take it.

With unconcealed annoyance, Sasuke snatched the goblet from Naruto’s hand and took a rather large drink. Naruto only laughed again and sipped his own wine. After a minute of silence, Sasuke finally leaned back against the rock, his right side practically touching Naruto’s left. The silence continued, but it was comfortable. Just two friends sitting back and drinking, not worrying about missions or orders or the past or the future. Just… being together.

“It was your birthday the other day, right?” Sasuke eventually asked quietly.

Naruto nodded as he reached for another goblet of wine. Sasuke shoved his empty goblet into Naruto’s chest, so Naruto got another one for him, as well. “Why do you ask?” he replied just as quietly.

Sasuke shrugged as he gazed into his goblet then took a sip and lowered it into his lap. He glared at it, making Naruto wonder if he shouldn’t start speaking to break the mood, but Sasuke took a deep breath and looked up. “Is it hard to celebrate your birthday, Naruto?”

Naruto frowned as he thought about the question. He guessed Sasuke meant to ask if Naruto felt sad on his birthday, or if he felt guilty. “Well, I don’t really celebrate my birthday.” He felt Sasuke shift beside him, and he looked over to find Sasuke staring at him, expecting him to go on. Naruto smiled sadly. “For a lot of years, no one even acknowledged me, so I never got to experience a birthday, you know? And then Iruka would treat me to ramen, but that was about it. And then missions and training. My first birthday cake might have been while I trained with Jiraiya. And then there was the war and… well, yeah.”

Another eruption of light bathed the clearing greenish-blue, and there was more laughter and chanting and lining up to imbibe what came out of the cauldron. The woman that had escorted them to their spot headed toward them carrying two full goblets. She bowed low as he presented them with the drinks and quickly backed away and joined the others once they had taken them from her.

“I’m sorry,” Sasuke said softly, and for some reason, Naruto had to stand, had to get away from the wealth of things not said in the words.

“Let’s have some fun,” he said, throwing a grin Sasuke’s way before he downed whatever was in the goblet the woman had handed him. He tossed the empty goblet to the ground and moved forward into the dancing crowd, loosing himself to the beat of the drums and the singing and chanting that wrapped around him. He closed his eyes and just danced.

Everything flowed away, all his worries and pain, the ever-present need to move on to the next big thing. It was just about him, right now, in the moment, something he didn’t think he’d ever experienced before in his life.

The drums started to beat faster. Or was that just his heart? The noise thump-thump-thumped in his ears, and his body moved on its own, twirling and swaying in time with the beat. He opened his eyes and saw that Sasuke had joined him at some point, dancing in the outer circle in the opposite direction of Naruto’s inner circle. It surprised him, to say the least, but it also pleased him that Sasuke was just going with the flow. He caught Sasuke’s eye and smiled at his friend, laughing when Sasuke whipped his head away to probably hide a blush; his pale skin didn’t hide the flush of color too well.

He closed his eyes again and flowed with the others, unconsciously speeding up with the subtle changes in the tempo of the drums. He didn’t notice as people began to shift between circles, weaving in and out, and his back suddenly collided with something solid. Arms encircled his waist and kept him spinning with the circle. He recognized Sasuke immediately and was content to let his friend hold him as they danced.

Despite the speed at which they whirled around, it was hot. Sweat ran down Naruto’s neck from his hairline, and his clothes stuck to his back as it pressed against Sasuke’s front. His heart raced faster, and he couldn’t entirely blame it on the dancing. Sasuke’s hand slipped from his stomach momentarily, sliding down and skimming over his pelvis, and Naruto’s breath hitched. “Sasuke,” he whispered on the exhale, without realizing it. Sasuke tensed behind him for only a second before spinning him around so that they were face to face. As their eyes met, the drums stopped, and the bonfires exploded around them, causing the revelers to shout and cheer exuberantly. The clearing was as bright as day, and Naruto could clearly see everything that was written on Sasuke’s face and in his eyes in that moment: emptiness, fear, loneliness, sadness, hope, want, love, and desire. And he felt that Sasuke could see the exact same things within him.

He wanted to do something as he took in those emotions. He wanted to wipe away the fear and loneliness. He wanted to embrace and feed the hope. He wanted… wanted… he wanted to answer every emotion he saw, fulfill them with himself. It felt akin to how he’d been driven to get Sasuke back in the first place, only more. Much more.

Throwing caution, hell, everything, to the wind, Naruto leaned forward and kissed Sasuke, the only thing he could think of to answer his desire for more. He kept his eyes open to see Sasuke’s reaction. Which was not to throw him off, as he’d expected, but to tighten his arms around Naruto’s waist and return the kiss, his tongue delving into Naruto’s mouth and battling with his own. Naruto tasted the wine they’d drunk and underneath it, something that was purely Sasuke. He wanted more of that taste, so he deepened the kiss even more, bringing his hands up to settle at the nape of Sasuke’s neck and pull him closer. He closed his eyes and savored every aspect of the moment.

He felt as if he was on fire, and Sasuke’s cloak tangling around his body didn’t help. It made him want to rip it off, to rip his own jacket off to feel the slight breeze, Sasuke’s skin, against his skin.

“Naruto,” Sasuke whispered as they broke the kiss. “What’s happening?”

“Don’t know,” he replied, moving to kiss Sasuke again. “Don’t care.” As he battled Sasuke’s tongue again, his hands slipped down and pulled Sasuke flush against him, subtly rocking their bodies together until Sasuke caught the rhythm and it became an urgent grind against each other’s hard body. Naruto broke the kiss to growl as his pleasure spiked, something inside him pulling taut and waiting to snap at just the right stimulus from Sasuke.

“These bonfires are illegal within Fire Country!” someone shouted above the din. Sasuke pulled away, causing Naruto to downright snarl, but the appearance of ANBU in the clearing seemed to clear his mind of the haze that had overcome it. Sasuke grabbed his hand and ran, Naruto quickly matching his pace. They didn’t need ANBU catching either one them, so they used the mass confusion and movement of the others to make their way across the clearing and back into the dense forest.

They made their way back to where they’d met, and as they stood under the canopy of trees, staring at everything but each other, Naruto realized they still held hands. His eyes traveled up Sasuke’s arm and met his eyes, and without speaking, they slowly, almost reluctantly, let go.

“Thanks for hanging out with me tonight,” Naruto finally said to break the silence. His lips felt a bit raw as he spoke, reminding him of what had transpired just a half hour before.

“Hn,” Sasuke grunted. “I’m almost glad I came. It was…” He didn’t finish his thought, but Naruto was sure that if the starlight was brighter, he would see the same emotions that he had seen in the clearing. He was also sure that if he saw them, he would want to answer them again, in the same way he’d done before.

“Yeah,” he whispered. “It was.”

And then Sasuke was gone. Naruto closed his eyes and breathed deeply, catching the faint trace of Sasuke’s scent. He opened his eyes and smiled.
