“Neji?” Naruto’s voice held absolute delight as he dropped over the gate and landed in front of the Hyuuga.
“What are you doing here?” He laughed and Sasuke, from his vantage point some distance away, frowned as he watched the blond throw his arm across the other’s shoulder.
“You’ve been on guard duty for many weeks now without a break. I am here to offer a diversion.” He inched closer as Naruto leaned back against the closed gate.
“Whatcha got in mind?”
“I am certain your skills have declined to abysmal levels by now, and I thought I’d do Konoha a favor and give you a spar.”
“Ha!” Sasuke’s teeth ground together as Naruto reached out and ruffled Neji’s hair. “You think so, huh?”
“I will assign one of my Anbu to relieve you here for a short time and you can accompany me to the training grounds, where I can begin your retraining.”
Sasuke seethed. Naruto seemed completely relaxed as Neji leaned against the gate next to him and picked some imaginary debris from the younger teen’s shirt.
“I’m certain we have our work cut out for us, but it is for a good cause so I’m willing to try. Are you?” Neji was very close to the blond now and Sasuke could almost feel his intention to begin nuzzling the tan neck inches from him.
“Yeah, I th…” Before Naruto could finish his sentence, Sasuke was at his other side, gripping his elbow.
“Hyuuga,” Sasuke said stiffly.
“Uchiha,” Neji responded adding a polite bow.
“Hey Sasuke, we were thinking of hitting the training grounds. Wanna go?”
“Certainly.” As if Sasuke would let Neji spend time with Naruto alone.
“Great. Let me secure the property and we’ll go.”
Neji and Sasuke waited for Naruto to set traps and clones around the perimeter of the property.
“Orphans?” Sasuke sneered.
Neji turned to look behind him for the children in question. When he found none, he turned back. “What?”
“How very….philanthropic of you. Caring for orphans?”
Neji nodded in understanding. “Not an undertaking of which you approve, I presume.”
“Well, Naruto certainly thinks you’re wonderful.” Sasuke’s lip curled in distaste. “Very strategic.”
“I freely admit that I first studied the situation because of its importance to Naruto.” Neji clasped his hands serenely in front of him. “But I found it to be worthwhile on its own and deserving of a small portion of my pay as well as an hour or two a week of my time.”
He cocked his head and continued, “I’m certain you’ve been too…preoccupied to know, but Naruto and I are both also orphans.”
Sasuke closed his eyes. He had known, but he had forgotten.
“I’m being an ass.”
“Beyond a doubt, and I encourage it.” Neji nodded slightly. “In fact, I encourage you to explore the whole spectrum of self absorbed idiocy at your fingertips, especially if you are so insecure about your place in his life that you are worried about me.”
“You would take him away from me,” Sasuke accused.
“I would have him happy. Whether that is with me, you or if he found he’d developed an affection for toads.”
Sasuke didn’t laugh. “Me, too, but I want to make him happy.”
“Of course, you are an Uchiha. If Naruto didn’t like a blue sky, it would become your life’s work to make it orange.”
Sasuke nodded. “There is a part of me like that. But, one orphan to another,” he said solemnly, “for all that I would rearrange the universe, damn little has ever gone my way.”
Neji sighed. “I know that, my friend.” He held out his hand. “Shall we agree to give Naruto the freedom to make the choices that will make him happy?”
Sasuke couldn’t help but look for a trap in that. Finding none, he took Neji’s hand and squeezed.
“You are making it hard for me to dislike you.”
“Your difficulties are a balm to my soul.” Neji smirked.
Just then Naruto poofed back. “Ready?”
They walked. Naruto liked to take his time moving around Konoha when he could. He liked to see the people and the places, the things that had changed and the things that had not.
As they walked, Neji talked. “These exercises are mostly for me. Naruto doesn’t really get anything out of them.”
“I do, too.” He rubbed his neck. “Every little bit helps.”
“Little bit?” Neji raised a brow.
“Oh, uh, that’s just a figure of speech.”
Neji turned back to Sasuke. “He is the reason I am Anbu captain.”
Naruto was blushing furiously. “I’m standing right here.”
“The training he can provide runs the gamut of elements. Further, he is terribly inventive on the battle field. One could be dealing with weapons and clones one moment and multiple elements the next. The sage training brings in techniques that most shinobi have never seen before. By the time I was seventeen, I’d had more practical and varied battlefield simulations than most twenty year veterans.”
Neji touched Naruto’s shoulder. “He is an invaluable comrade.”
“Glad I could help,” Naruto muttered grouchily.
Three hours later, Neji and Sasuke sat side by side against a large scorched boulder. Naruto had left them to rest while he went to try and repair some of the damage they’d done to the acres around them.
They were both dripping with sweat and covered in blood, soot and dirt. And both had content smiles on their faces.
“What a workout,” Sasuke said passing a flask of water to Neji.
Neji nodded. “And yet he still has enough to go and replace the vegetation that we destroyed.”
Sasuke shook his head in wonder. He barely had enough chakra left to light a match. He could hardly comprehend that Naruto was out regrowing trees and shrubbery.
Then as he turned his head to take the flask that Neji was returning, he noticed a distinct lump in the front of Neji’s pants. Neji had a fucking erection. Not unlike the one in his own pants.
With a tired sigh, he reached out and took the flask. “You know I’m going to have to kick your ass one of these days.” He took a drink and handed the flask back once again.
Neji took a serene swig and wiped at his mouth. “Good luck with that,” he answered wearily.
“I can hear you.” They heard Naruto’s voice yelling from far away. “And there will be no fighting or I’ll kick both your asses.”
The absurdity of Naruto’s proclamation hit both of them and they burst into simultaneous chuckles, which, strangely, heralded the birth of a surprising mutual friendship.
“Toads, huh?” Sasuke said still smiling.
“Gods, I hope not.”

Sasuke found Naruto leaning against the cherry tree nearest the gate. His arms were crossed, but Sasuke could tell that the blond was half dozing.
He stealthily moved to within inches of his friend and waited for the heightened senses to become aware of him. Sure enough, within seconds, Naruto’s nose twitched and his head turned in his direction. After another couple of seconds, slitted gold eyes opened.
Since Naruto was still here and hadn’t bolted, he moved in front of him, straddling his legs and aligning their groins. When the blond still hadn’t run, Sasuke leaned in, swiping his tongue across Naruto’s lips.
“I wondered when you slept,” he murmured. “There are several comfortable beds in the house.” His hands moved to Naruto’s hips and rested there lightly while he buried his nose in the tan neck.
Naruto kept his hands clenched around the fabric of his pants. He was frantically trying to convince himself that if he didn’t reach out and touch Sasuke, he wasn’t actually participating and was somehow safer. It sounded good in his head.
When Sasuke resumed the kiss, nibbling on Naruto’s lips, thoroughly exploring each at a leisurely pace, Naruto closed his eyes and tried to remember why he was resisting.
“I love kissing you,” Sasuke whispered without breaking contact. He moved to place bites along the strong jaw.
“You excite me so much.” He took Naruto’s hand and pressed it to his full erection. Naruto trembled.
“I want to fuck you.” Naruto whimpered. “And I want you to fuck me.”
Naruto yanked his hand back and his chest heaved as though he’d been running laps with Lee.
Sasuke sighed. “You’re killing me here.” He smirked and reached around to grasp two ass cheeks. “You realize that you are forcing me to do two things that no Uchiha in the entire history of Uchihas has ever had to do.”
He kept talking even though Naruto was pressed as far back against the tree as he could get.
“I’m certain that I’m the first Uchiha ever to have to seduce someone into bed.”
He stepped back and sighed again. “And it goes without saying that I’m the first to actually fail.”
“Sasuke…”
The brunette leaned on one arm next to Naruto. “I’ll bet none of your other partners had to try this hard.”
Naruto looked down. “None of the others had my heart dangling over a meat grinder.”
Sasuke tilted his head. “I would never again treat a bond…,” he struggled for words that conveyed his feelings, but didn’t say more than Naruto would be willing to hear.
“I’ve lost a lot.” He shrugged. “I’ve thrown a lot away. But I’ve …”
Naruto struggled from his position between Sasuke and the tree.
“I don’t know this Sasuke. The Sasuke that…” He waved his hand to indicate the space between them.
“I only know this Sasuke.” And he pulled his shirt off his left shoulder.
Sasuke looked at the exposed flesh. As he studied the tattoos on the left side of Naruto’s body, he realized he’d never seen Naruto without a shirt.
Just like his arm, flames crept up from his left hip along his torso culminating in a swirl of black fire encircling a fist sized pink scar just above the teen’s heart.
Sasuke blanched. “Gods, Naruto. I’m so…” As he looked at it, the scar seemed larger than the universe, an impossibly wide barrier between him and Naruto.
Sasuke bowed his head. “I‘m sorry I hurt you.”
“It’s not that.” Naruto waived his hand in dismissal. “I did this to remind myself that you can’t live another person’s life. And you can’t make someone care if they don’t. I did this bec…”
“You made me happy,” Sasuke interrupted, looking Naruto in the eye.
Naruto just stared at him wide eyed.
“We laughed and played and trained as if we had futures, while my family was dead.” Sasuke looked toward the sky, remembering. “And their murderer was gallivanting around the countryside.” He looked back at Naruto. “It felt like a betrayal that my anger and hatred were fading, that I was beginning to enjoy life again.
“Then he came back and ignored me,” Sasuke continued. “I had been too pathetic to kill. He killed my ninety year old grandmother and my two year old cousin, but not me.”
Sasuke touched the scar. ”You had surpassed me and he came back to Konoha for you. He made me feel worthless, insignificant, a silly child. I realized that I had forgotten what got me through those first years after the massacre, that burning hatred and wish for revenge. I had forgotten what I’d decided was my purpose. The pain had suddenly returned with a vengeance. I couldn’t live among happy people anymore.”
“But to be truly honest,” he said as Naruto just watched him, “looking back, the real reason I left was to leave all the pain behind.”
“Did you?”
“Eventually, just not in the way I originally intended. But what I want you to understand is that I never left to get away from you.”
“I’m a coward, Sasuke.” Naruto pushed his fingers through his hair in frustration. “I’m so fucking afraid of you, what you could do to me,” Naruto said. “I’ve spent the last three years training and just…getting up each day until this village needs me to die for it.”
“Naruto…”
“That was easier than this. Don’t you think that’s funny? I’m less afraid of Kyuubi, Akatsuki, Orochimaru, Itachi and the whole Sound contingent than I am of you?”
Sasuke just looked at Naruto for a moment.
“You think it’s any different for me? I was less afraid of a bargain for death with Orochimaru than I was of…living my life. It was easier to just agree to die than to try to start over, to care again.
“But I changed. When the three years were up and Orochimaru wanted to do the transfer, I found that I wanted to live.” He gripped Naruto’s chin. “I chose life and then I came here because I thought this is the only place in the whole world where another human being cared about me.” His grip turned into a caress against a whiskered cheek.
“You, you’re the only one who sees and cares about the real me. Without you, I have nothing, no one.”
“I was waiting for someone to come and tell me that you were dead,” Naruto murmured.
“And then what, Naruto?”
He sighed and his eyes closed. “I wouldn’t have wanted to live anymore.”
“So I ask you, what’s the difference? Would life be better or worse if we spend what time we have together?
“Listen,” Sasuke continue into the silence. “I don’t know what you think I’m doing here. I can tell you that I’m not using you for bait; Itachi is coming one way or another.
“What I can’t get anywhere else in this entire world is someone who feels about me the way I believe you do.”
He pulled Naruto’s shirt back up over his shoulder and smoothed the fabric with his hands. “I don’t want you to do anything you really don’t want to, but Naruto, as for me, I just don’t want to be alone anymore.”
After placing a brief kiss on his lips, Sasuke turned and walked back toward the house.
