Chapter Eight

To Make Me Moan, Bite My Thighs
"Wait, stop!" Naruto shouted despite his previous words to Sasuke. It was just too much. He had already come only an hour ago. He didn't want to make a habit out of getting swept away by pleasure, but Sasuke wasn't making it easy for him. He pulled at the hair on the crown of Sasuke's head. "I said…wait!"
A sharp tug had Sasuke dislodged in seconds.
Naruto found it hard to glare at the other boy when Sasuke's cheeks were flushed. Not to mention his eyes were glazed over and daring, a bit of dribble on his chin. He didn't get a chance to say anything, Sasuke dropping right back down. His silky hair threaded through Naruto's fingers easily.
Sasuke's swollen lips glided over Naruto's thigh, brushing over the soft hairs there. He caught them between his lips and pulled gently.
"What are you doing?" Naruto frowned.
"I like…the hair on your thighs." The hesitance in Sasuke's voice assured Naruto that even the Uchiha knew how weird that sounded. "And I like how warm you are. You're always so warm…"
Sasuke's bangs brushed against the underside base of Naruto's erection, making Naruto stutter in his exhale. Naruto perched himself up on his elbows to watch Sasuke kiss his right thigh. Their eyes met suddenly, and Naruto knew he was in trouble. He could feel the suspense in his chest as he allowed Sasuke to bend his knees and spread his legs.
It came as a sort of electric shock. All Sasuke had done was bite into the middle of his inner thigh, but to Naruto it felt like someone had just shot up his dick with pleasure. If that made sense. His balls tightened at the feeling, his hips bucking; and despite how good it felt, Naruto felt the need to curl up to protect that spot as if his life depended on it. The gasp that was ripped from deep within him left Sasuke to stare.
"W-wait…" Naruto's voice wavered involuntarily, tremors still wracking his body from the newly discovered spot. Sasuke's head moved lower, and Naruto's body tensed in anticipation. That didn't help at all. He had thought it felt good before, but damn, it just kept getting stronger the lower Sasuke went!
And the Uchiha wasn't stopping, either. As if he were some starved man holding his first sandwich in years, Sasuke bit into Naruto's thigh repetitively until his teeth sank into the juncture where Naruto's thigh met his groin. Keeping the quivering limb in his hold, he lifted his head slowly to look at Naruto.
Having fallen on his back from the torturous pleasure, Naruto lifted his head to see what Sasuke was up to next. He knew his face was as red as it felt from the smirk Sasuke sent his way. "Oh no…" was all he could mutter as Sasuke shifted over to Naruto's other thigh.
Naruto's toes ached from curling so tightly, but he couldn't do anything about it. No matter how much he tried, a gasp or a groan was pulled out of him with each bite. How was it that he could manage to hold his voice in when he was getting direct stimulation to his dick, but when it came to his thighs he became a boneless, moaning heap of goo?
"No more, Sasuke…please…" Naruto breathed out shakily when Sasuke braked at the same end point as before.
Sasuke sat up, eyes boring into Naruto. "You're done?"
"No," Naruto shook his head slowly, keeping his eyes closed to the overhead light in the bathroom. "Just…no more there. I can't stand it…" He didn't care if he sounded weak. He was feelingweak. As amazing and erotic as that all felt, he couldn't bear it anymore. His legs were shaking. It was humiliating.
Sasuke eyed Naruto's thighs, following the trails of red left behind by his biting. They would probably turn into bruises overnight. He smirked at his handy work briefly before sticking his two of his fingers into his mouth. He made sure they were nice and wet before retreating them and heading to Naruto's already stretched hole. He had made sure to clean and prep Naruto very well while they were in the bath, but now he had to get him lubricated enough so that things would fit together smoothly.
He stilled right outside of Naruto's hole, eyes flitting to Naruto's face. He was almost surprised by the blue eyes watching him attentively. His heart quaked in his chest. Why was he hesitating? He had Naruto where he wanted him. His best friend was just unable to contain the pleasure he was receiving from his newfound g-spot. Sasuke was the one making him moan and quiver on the floor. He shouldn't be hesitating…
"Sasuke," Naruto said. He swallowed to wet his dry throat. Sasuke swallowed as well, clearly distracted by his own thoughts. "I've never been as sure about anything before as I am right now. No matter where we go from here, you will always be my best friend."
Sasuke's lips parted, but he quickly pressed them together in a malformed smirk. Naruto somehow always knew exactly what to say, didn't he? "Idiot…" he muttered. He ignored the squawk of protest for the name calling from Naruto and sucked on his fingers again for extra measure before easily sliding them into Naruto. He twisted them around, coating the inner walls with his saliva. When he finished, he reached over into the tub and cupped some of the bath water into his hand. He smeared it over his straining erection, mixing it with the pre-cum that was leaking heavily from the head thanks to the sensual sounds Naruto had been making throughout the abuse of his thighs.
"Would it be lame if I asked you to be gentle?" Naruto asked suddenly.
Sasuke scoffed. "Yeah," he said with a challenging smirk. "Scaredy-cat."
Naruto grinned and put an arm over his eyes. "Shut up," he said playfully. His smile fell and he bit his bottom lip when Sasuke's hands gripped his hips. This was it…he was going to have sex with Sasuke.
"Ah," Was the only sound that left Naruto when Sasuke began to enter him. His mouth was gaping open, but no other sound could be made. He felt like a bubble had lodged itself within his throat, forcing him to hold his breath. His heartbeat almost seemed to slow down throughout the process.
Sasuke couldn't find the strength to keep his eyes open, taking in a deep breath with every inch that made it inside Naruto; hot and constricting, but opened to him and his desires. He was finally getting everything he ever wanted. The walls around him suddenly clenched and he looked down at his progress. "Don't tense up."
"It kind of hurts…" Naruto said off-handedly, the bubble from before suddenly disappearing. He inhaled and then relaxed, finding it was much easier to do than he thought.
"Only 'kind of'?"
"…Mhm,"
Sasuke didn't speak again as he pushed the rest of the way in, simultaneously guiding Naruto down on him by his hips. He almost didn't realize he was all the way in until Naruto cleared his throat and adjusted his shoulders below him. Glancing at Naruto, he let out the shuddering breath he had been holding. "You're handling this better than I expected."
Naruto smiled and let out a melodious chuckle despite the current situation. "I know, right? Guess I'm just really good at this."
The Uchiha snorted. "Then I can start moving?"
"Uh, maybe,"
He thrust shallowly, stopping each time Naruto tensed to let him adjust. Naruto was quiet, only letting out quick breaths the deeper the penetration went. Sasuke stopped often, letting Naruto's body language tell him when he could continue.
"What happens if I fart?" Naruto asked suddenly, the joke losing its edge due to how breathy his voice was.
"Shut up," Sasuke said, rolling his eyes in annoyance. Only Naruto could make dumb jokes during sex. "And don't tense up. Relax."
"I'm not tensing up," Naruto said defensively.
"I can feel you, dobe." Sasuke looked at him pointedly. Were they really arguing at a time like this?
"I'm not tensing up!" Naruto repeated, his muscles clenching from the shout alone.
Sasuke grunted, eyes falling shut at the tight heat that swallowed him whole and refused to let go. He opened them slowly and immediately regretted looking at Naruto's face. Shit, he knew.
Naruto smirked up at Sasuke, liking this newly discovered control he had in this position. "You sure I'm tensing up, teme?" He flexed the muscles in his rear, testing the waters.
The chuckle that reverberated off the bathroom walls irked Sasuke. Clearly he had been underestimating Naruto's ability to handle anal sex. That was good to know, because now he didn't need to hold back. Glaring in concentration, Sasuke leaned over Naruto and picked up his thrusting again, successfully wiping that stupid smirk off Naruto's face. God, Naruto was still so tight despite all that prepping.
This was ten times better than he had imagined. No, a hundred times better. Infinitely better. He was so lost in the sensation of Naruto's body, both boys panting at the exertion of their act and only pushing for more.
Naruto was meeting his thrusts with the help of Sasuke's hands to direct him, using his legs to add more strength.
"Put your arms around me," Sasuke said through his panting, never letting up on his drives.
Naruto bent up to hug Sasuke to him, but he almost fell right back down with a cry of ecstasy. "Fuck, Sasuke!" At the new angle, something within him was struck. The same spot that Sasuke had messed with earlier while in the tub. He remembered it far too well, yet it felt better and better each time Sasuke slammed into it. "Don't fucking stop hitting that spot! Ah!"
Damn, Sasuke was not going to last much longer, especially not with Naruto's teasing clenches and his moaning right in Sasuke's ear. Growling deep in his chest, he turned and latched onto the neck, feeling the vibrations from Naruto's moans and harsh pants. He let a moan of his own slip, but it was swallowed up by another one of Naruto's.
Naruto was loud, his mindless cussing and calling of Sasuke's name drove the Uchiha to slam into him ruthlessly. His blunt nails were biting into Naruto's hips, but the blond didn't appear to notice. He just welcomed the newer, rougher treatment. Sasuke had Naruto almost bent in half with the way Naruto was arching his back.
Sasuke was so caught up in the moment that his orgasm came as a shock. He gasped, faltering in his thrusts for just a moment before picking them right back up again. His drives became stiffer as he emptied into Naruto. He quickly freed a hand of Naruto's hip and began stroking him in a swift, tight grip.
"Sasuke!" Naruto buried his face into Sasuke's shoulder where he released a rumbling, hoarse groan as he came.
Sasuke kept his eyes closed as he milked Naruto all the way through his completion, wishing he had been able to see the idiot's face as he experienced this moment. He could only imagine how great his expression must be as he felt the hot, harsh pants beat against his collarbone.
Naruto lowered himself to the bathroom floor, using Sasuke's shoulders for support during his decent. He kept his eyes closed, chest heaving from all the emotions welling inside him. The room was spinning, and yet everything and everyone was still. This world was theirs alone, and nothing from the outside could get in. A tear squeezed its way out and slid down his temple, disappearing into his hair.
"You're crying," Sasuke said. Guilt clenched in his stomach, but he didn't remove his hand from Naruto's hip or softening organ.
Naruto didn't open his eyes, but he smiled. He cleared his throat in attempt to get rid of the saliva that had built up. "It's not a bad crying. Guess I'm just kind of overwhelmed. Can't really put it into words…"
"Oh," Sasuke looked down at where they were connected. "I understand." I think.
Laughter bubbled in Naruto's chest and then spilled out. He squinted at Sasuke and reached up to touch his cheek. "Could you pull out? I'm getting sleepy."
Sasuke did just that, slowly. He groaned as his seed spilled out after him. Clearly Naruto could feel it, and he made a teasing gagging noise followed by a chuckle. Without a word, Sasuke slipped two fingers into Naruto's gaping hole. He ignored Naruto's indignant whine as he scooped out what he could with his fingers alone.
"It's weird…I can't feel my hands." Naruto sighed. He lifted his hands above his face and wiggled his fingers
before flexing them.
"That's supposedly normal after sex," Sasuke said while he stood to retrieve the detachable shower head from the wall. "For a woman."
"Oh ha ha, you are sooo funny. I'm a woman because I took it up the ass. Is that your point?" Naruto tilted his head back on the floor to look at Sasuke upside-down. His face flushed when he was greeted with a completely unnecessary angle of Sasuke's nudity.
Sasuke squatted down next Naruto and sprayed his stomach with the hose, watching the evidence of Naruto's orgasm scatter away to nothing. He rinsed his hand off in the flow, flicking droplets at Naruto's face.
"You're so kind to me, cleaning me off after having your dirty way with me." Naruto said as Sasuke moved the shower head towards his privates.
"It's the least I can do since you allowed me to have my dirty way with you." Sasuke rubbed at some stubborn gunk that refused to depart from Naruto's puckered hole.
Naruto laughed breathily, putting his hands under his head as a cushion from the tile floor. "Next time use a condom, because I'm sleepy and this clean-up process is taking way too long." His voice sounded deeper from the angle his head was tilted.
Sasuke looked at him for a moment, studying for any sign that Naruto was joking about a next time. When all he got was a lazy, content smile, he smirked and went back to cleaning them off. He had been waiting for some kind of comment about how it felt, how Sasuke did, what Naruto wanted more of. He wasn't going to get anything like that out of Naruto tonight.
"If I catch a cold from not drying off properly and die, I'm so going to haunt your ass." Naruto announced as he collapsed onto his bed.
"I've never heard of anyone dying from a cold before." Sasuke said as he ran his thumbs around the inside of the elastic band of the boxers he borrowed from Naruto. He rolled his eyes at the excuse Naruto babbled out, though he didn't really pay attention to what he said. He slipped into the bed, settling in the space between Naruto and the window.
"Your feet are cold!" Naruto whined childishly when Sasuke spooned him from behind. When he didn't receive a response, he looked over his shoulder but Sasuke's face was buried in his back. "Hey, did you hear me?"
"Shh. I'm sleeping," Sasuke clipped.
"Bastard," Naruto grumbled, turning his face into his pillow. It didn't help hide his enormous smile.

Naruto shot a glare at the birds that insisted upon chirping merry little tunes, mocking his limp and damp school uniform. Sasuke was at his side, also moody from having to spend his Saturday classes in a soggy, wrinkling outfit. Maybe it was the gods' way of punishing them for indulging themselves in their carnal needs on a school night. That had to be it. That was why both of the dryers in his building were out of service this morning. They had contemplated going to Sasuke's house to use his dryer, but Naruto was sure he couldn't make the trek there and then to school with his sore ass. Every step he took felt like he was clenching sandpaper between his cheeks and the slightest movement cleared away a new layer of skin. Not to mention he was sore. Those two combined was possibly the most uncomfortable feeling he had ever had the displeasure to experience.
"Maybe you shouldn't have come to school today." Sasuke said offhandedly as he studied the weird walk Naruto had come up with to cover up his limp. It almost seemed like he was marching but was only bending his left knee.
"Yeah, well…we're never doing it on a school night again!" Naruto shouted a little too loudly.
Sasuke remained passive while he inwardly rejoiced at Naruto suggesting that they would get around to having sex again.
They managed to walk a block in a comfortable silence before the rest of the world seemed to rejoin them with an abrupt
"SURPRISE ATTACK!"
"Going down!" Naruto cried weakly as he collapsed under the weight of the body that seemed to be insisting on a piggyback ride. Not in his current condition, no sir!
Sasuke stepped to the side and turned to watch the two idiots groan in pain on the street, one clearly experiencing more agony than the other. Honestly, these two could be twins separated at birth; no one would doubt it.
"Ooowwww…Kiba, you fat ass! Get off!" Naruto held back a dry sob when Kiba knelt on his butt in the process of standing up. Then he actually choked one out when Kiba kicked him in the exact same spot. It was a casual kick, one that Naruto could take on any day. Any day…but today.
"Calling me a fat ass and yet you won't even get up off the ground!" Kiba howled with laughter, blind of his friend's suffering. "Dude, it totally sucks. It started pouring yesterday after school! But the cool part is that Hinata and I took cover in that rundown karaoke bar out by the memorial. Know which one I'm talking about? The sign is always flickering and stuff. Well it turns out it's not so rundown after all! They have some good songs, even ones released last year. So we spent two hours singing- Dude! Hinata has the voice of an angel! She's so quiet, I had no idea! Apparently she was in the choir in junior high? I don't remember that at all, do you? Anyways,"
Sasuke helped Naruto to his feet, both teens ignoring Kiba's rambling. He bent his knees so that he could look up at Naruto's face due to his head being bowed. "You okay?"
"I'm gonna cry…" Naruto inhaled sharply, trying to take his mind off the throbbing sting in his ass. Damn that Kiba! Couldn't he read the feeble aura Naruto was emitting? Gah, he supposed he couldn't really blame his friend. Normally Naruto would be able to bounce right back after a fall five times worse than that, so Kiba thought nothing of jumping him from behind.
Oh great, there's no way Naruto can tell Kiba why he was in such a delicate condition this particular morning. Well, he probably could, but…no! No way in hell! It wasn't that he was ashamed of having sex with Sasuke. It was deeper than that. As deep as any man's pride went.
Naruto had been the one on bottom.
Nooooo! He could just hear Kiba's teasing, echoing all around him! So obnoxious and loud that it made Naruto want to curl up in the fetal position right there on the spot. He would call Naruto "Narubutt" or something stupid like that, and ask him if he needed an icepack to sit on (which actually sounded heavenly right about now, but that was exactly what he wanted to avoid). Or worse, he'd suddenly be seen as Sasuke's bitch! He just knew Kiba would make disgusting dog references about them doing it doggy style or worse.
"Hey, Naruto, you okay? I didn't run into ya too hard, did I?" Kiba asked in concern. He literally yanked Naruto out of his thoughts by pulling him by the shoulder to face him. "Wait, why does your uniform feel wet?"
Why that sounded like Kiba was accusing him of sodomy to Naruto, he will never know. Guilty conscious, maybe? He looked down at his uniform as if it had ink all over it, spelling out every detail of what he and Sasuke did last night.
"We got caught in the rain, too." Sasuke said. Simple and clean. No funny business mentioned.
Kiba poked the shoulder of Sasuke's school blazer. He made a face of mock disgust, and rubbed his forefinger and thumb together. "Spent the night at Naruto's house because of a little rain, Uchiha?"
Naruto choked on his own spit at the waggling of Kiba's eyebrows. Wait, he couldn't possibly know. No way. He had to distract Kiba before he got any weird ideas. "Uh, Kiba spent the night at my place once during a hurricane!"
Sasuke lifted an eyebrow, but Naruto could tell that he truly couldn't care less. AT least he knew to play along.
"It wasn't a hurricane, idiot." Kiba laughed. They started walking to school again, Kiba too busy talking to notice Naruto's awkward walk. "But it was one freakish storm, that's for sure. The power went out. I thought we were going to die!"
"My building had a backup generator, you drama queen." Naruto reminded him.
Ignoring him, Kiba continued. "And even though Naruto has an analog alarm clock, we still slept in and were late for school the next morning!"
Naruto and Kiba both froze when they heard someone call out Sasuke's name, responding to it like it was their own. It was a habit they picked up as a group, always looking up even though someone was searching for only one person among them.
"Did I call you two?" Suigetsu sneered, having flinched when two guys other than Sasuke turned to him expectantly. "No, I didn't."
Karin came up right behind Suigetsu, Jugo trailing them a ways back. Did he even speak, Naruto wondered. "Don't be rude, Suigetsu!" Karin chided him as if he were a kid.
The boy with the crooked teeth blew her off and slapped a hand down on Sasuke's shoulder. He was clearly about to say something, mouth wide open as if he would shout, but he yanked his hand back quickly and looked at Sasuke in bemusement. "Why are you wet?"
Kiba and Naruto let out twin snorts of amusement. Suigetsu glared at them and stuck closer to Sasuke. "Do you mind? I gotta talk to this bastard and I don't want you kids botherin' us."
If Kiba was offended, he didn't show it; an unusual show of submission from the brunette. He hooked an arm around Naruto's neck and said, "No problem, we were leaving anyway. Later yankis!"
"Hey, I'll kick your ass!" Suigetsu snapped.
Kiba was already dragging Naruto off, ignorant of his friend's struggle to keep up. When they were out of ear shot of the other teens, Kiba released Naruto and stuck his hands in his pants pockets. "Hey, uh…" He kept his head and voice low. He was acting hesitant, which intrigued Naruto. Kiba only got like this around Hinata, or sometimes with the group when he had to ask advice about a personal matter. "You're not getting caught up in anything bad, right? Sasuke and his gang there…you've been hanging out with them a lot lately."
Naruto's eyebrows rose and he looked at Kiba in awe. "Nah, man. I'm not really hanging out with them, mostly Sasuke. We were best friends back in middle school so-"
"Yeah, I know!" Kiba shouted. He looked away so quickly that he almost gave himself whiplash, ashamed from raising his voice.
"You okay?" His friend suddenly wasn't acting like himself.
Kiba scratched the back of his head in a paranoid manner, glancing at Naruto briefly. It took several minutes before he finally scoffed and turned to stare Naruto in the eyes. "Look, the guys and I were just worried that…ya know…now that Sasuke's back and all…I mean, you and him used to be close…" Kiba was getting fed up and it was obvious in his tense shoulders. "You're not gonna just ditch us now that Uchiha's back, right? I mean, we're your friends, too!"
Naruto's cheeks flushed. His friends really cared that much about losing him? Well, something told him that Shikamaru and Choji weren't so concerned, but Kiba was feeling insecure enough to approach him about it. It was…touching. Even more than that. Naruto couldn't quite find the words to say. He actually wanted to leap at Kiba and hug him so tightly.
This was his friend; someone who had stuck by him through his crazy antics, following him through all his bad decisions and pranks of his adolescence. They were banned from more stores than he could count on his two hands. It was actually really cute that Kiba was afraid of getting replaced. Naruto couldn't help the grin that threatened to split his face.
"What's with that stupid face?" Kiba said defensively. His tattooed cheeks were also tinged pink.
"Nothin'. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were jealous, Kiba-chan." Naruto snickered.
Kiba whacked him on the shoulder, hard. "Don't call me that, you moron! Geez, you're such a freak. I don't know why I hang out with you." He began walking faster.
Naruto swallowed his pain and jogged after his friend, laughing to take his mind off his ass. "That was mean. Kiba, you're one of my bestest friends ever. Something stupid like Sasuke getting his ass kicked out of private school isn't going to change that."
Kiba wasn't mollified by this. "You only hang out with him now."
Naruto had to admit that he was neglecting his other friends. He hadn't even thought about it until now. Being with Sasuke had returned to being second nature for him, like when they were kids. It was always Naruto and Sasuke, like they were a packaged deal. If Naruto went somewhere, he had probably dragged Sasuke along. Shop owners and teachers would see them and greet them conjointly. Now it almost felt like they were being prepared all this time for the moment they got together for real. Like their act last night should be announced to the whole town and all of Konoha would throw their hands in the air, shouting out a synchronized 'FINALLY!'
But back then, Naruto didn't have many other friends. Sasuke was all he needed. It wasn't until he was gone that he grew closer with Kiba, Shikamaru and Choji. And with those three, their group only continued to expand with the girls added into the mix. It felt like one huge family, one he cherished deeply. And he had been abandoning them…
"I'm sorry…" Naruto sighed in defeat.
Kiba looked at him as though he had suddenly sprouted fox ears and a bushy tail. "What? Dude, I don't want you to apologize. Just…come eat lunch with us today. It's no fun without you."
"Yeah, definitely." Naruto smiled. It was a really good feeling to know that no matter which way he turned, there were people ready to support him.

"Man, it sucks that the first day of Golden Week has to be on a Sunday," Choji shrugged his big shoulders up to his ears as though he were getting chills. "Just one day over! That's all I ask!"
"Then Boys' Day would be on a Sunday." Shikamaru informed him before taking a sip of his drink.
Naruto spoke through a mouthful of hamburger, "What are you complaining about, Choji? We're getting the whole week off of school. From this Sunday to next week's. We're completely free!" He choked a little on his food, smiling in gratitude when Shikamaru pushed his drink closer to him.
"Oi, Choji, quit stealing my fries!" Kiba snapped when the chubby boy popped another one of his fried potatoes into his mouth. Growling in annoyance, he turned to the other two boys at the table. "So what are your plans for Golden Week? Let me guess," he looked pointedly at Naruto. "Gonna spend it with Uchiha?"
Naruto frowned, but he wasn't too hurt by Kiba's words due to the talk they had earlier that morning. "For your information, I was going to spend it wrapped up in the covers of my bed. Golden Week is my time of hibernation."
"Not with all the homework Ibiki sensei and Anko sensei assigned us you won't." Shikamaru, the ever so helpful (and unwanted) reminder, said.
Naruto glared at him, his throat vibrating with a snarl.
"I vote going to Shikamaru's and copying his work," Kiba crooned. "All in favor?"
Naruto and Choji's hands shot high up enthusiastically into the air with Kiba's. Shikamaru muttered his usual 'troublesome,' but didn't object.
"Ah, there they are. Told you they'd be pigging out here."
Naruto's head shot up at the familiar voice and beamed as Sakura, Ino, Tenten, and Hinata approached the booth the boys were occupying. "Ladies!" he greeted cheerily. "What brings you to seek us out in our secret headquarters?"
Kiba looked up from his food and immediately straightened at the sight of Hinata. They smiled bashfully at each other in silent greeting.
Sakura rolled her eyes, but she couldn't keep from smiling. "We were just wondering about you boys' plans for Golden Week."
"Well, all we've got so far is copying Shikamaru's homework. You've come at a bad time." Naruto said, feeling lame. Obviously the girls were looking into joining them for whatever activities they had devised.
"Don't use Shikamaru for homework material. Do it yourself!" Ino nagged, which was no surprise. Naruto smiled knowingly at her and her cheeks flushed a bit. The discoloration went unnoticed by Shikamaru who simply yawned and then took a sip of his drink. Naruto wanted to punch him, but he didn't have enough grounds to.
"A study group isn't a bad idea, though." Sakura said. She placed a finger on her chin, thinking. She suddenly turned to Hinata. "Isn't Neji coming home for Golden Week?"
Tenten answered for the shy girl instead. "Yeah! Lee is, too."
Tenten, Neji, and Lee had been an odd assortment of friends. Lee and Neji were upperclassmen, just a year ahead of the rest of the group. A lot of people teased Tenten for hanging out with the two older boys, saying she had a crush on them and always asking which one she was going to marry. Naruto never saw it that way. All three were on the kendo team at school, Neji having been the captain last year. Tenten took his place when he graduated, something she worked very hard for; partly to prove that girls could be just as good at boys in anything.
To Naruto, Hyuuga Neji had seemed a bit stuck up at first. He was also very traditional, something he grew up with in the Hyuuga household. Hinata wasn't as strict as him when it came to that sort of thing. Neji believed in fate and balancing chi or something. He was gifted and very quiet; however, if you asked him to explain something, you had better have found a comfortable seat because he wasn't going to shut up until he had thoroughly gone through the whole process in precise, chronological order.
Rock Lee, on the other hand, didn't care much for sitting down and listening. He was a very hands-on learner, and Naruto liked that about him. He was kick ass in Judo, as was Neji, and used to compete against the Hyuuga for mere sport. Naruto had watched a few of their matches, but neither would ever win. They'd simply bow to and thank each other for the match. Naruto didn't get that part, but he loved to watch them in action. Man, if he could do that he'd be kicking so much ass (possibly even take down Sasuke's group in two minutes flat)! Oh, back to Lee. He had adopted Gai sensei's views on life about youth and keeping fit, or whatever it was that Gai sensei always babbled about in PE class.
All in all, Naruto couldn't wait to see Neji and bushy brows again. He hadn't seen them since they left for university.
"That's perfect!" Sakura squealed, making Naruto realize that he had been zoning out the whole time they were making plans. "Naruto, call Sasuke and invite him. You have his number, right? I'll invite Karin, too."
"What?" Naruto asked dumbly.
Rolling her eyes, Sakura looked at him in exasperation. Her pink phone was already in her hands, prepared to put her plans into motion. "Weren't you listening? We're all going to go to Hinata's on Wednesday for a study group. Neji and Lee will join us to help since they're our senpais. Now call Sasuke!"
"Fiiiine," Naruto groaned, and he pushed Shikamaru out of the booth so he could take the call outside. Sakura followed him since she would be calling Karin. They stood on opposite sides of the automatic door to the McDonalds.
Naruto tapped his foot as he waited for Sasuke to answer, looking over his shoulder when Sakura got a hold of Karin much faster and began to jabber to her excitedly.
"Hello?"
Naruto twisted forward and grinned at the sound of Sasuke's voice. He hadn't really spoken to him all day since they only had morning classes, and then Kiba had dragged Naruto away once they were released. "Hey Sasuke, it's me. What's up?"
"Lying on my bed, wondering why you called to ask me what was up."
"On your bed, huh? What are you wearing?" Naruto teased, glancing behind him to make sure Sakura was still sucked into her own girl talk, which she was. He thought he heard her mention something about pudding and wasn't at all surprised that she and Karin had gone off topic.
"You've become quite bold after only one night of sex. Your ass must be feeling better."
Naruto's cheeks heated at the mention of his pain from this morning. He stepped into the narrow alley between the McDonalds and the store next door. "Much better, actually. Jerk."
"Why am I a jerk now?"
"It's your fault I could barely walk this morning!"
"I'll try to keep in mind to be tender to your rear end next time."
Naruto snorted. "The thought is appreciated, but not the sarcasm." Sasuke let out a laugh on the other end, making Naruto's heart do a summersault and then a series of jumping jacks. He gripped his phone tighter in his hand and smiled. "So…when will this next time be exactly?"
There was silence at first. "Is there a reason you called Naruto? I'm just asking, because I'm sure you didn't call to plan out our next fuck."
Sasuke's sensitivity never ceased to amaze Naruto. "I wanted to know what you were wearing, remember?"
"A towel, but really, why did you call me?"
"Wait, did you just say a towel? Only a towel? Are you trying to turn me on, Uchiha?" Naruto was having too much fun right now. Who knew that one night together could make him open up like this to Sasuke? It wasn't exactly that he had become more perverse or anything. He simply felt very comfortable and open to Sasuke about anything and everything. He could probably blatantly say butt sex at this very moment and not feel awkward or embarrassed. Is this what sex did to people?
He tried to imagine what all the girls would be like after they had sex, and he actually laughed out loud at an image of Hinata becoming very forward and grabbing Kiba's crotch in front of the group.
"What's so funny?" Sasuke's tone was irritated.
Naruto waved his hand dismissively, then realized that Sasuke couldn't see him. "Nothing, nothing. Just had a funny thought. Okay, now to the point of this phone call. This Wednesday we're all going to Hinata's for a study group. Neji and Lee will be there. You in?"
There was a gap of silence save for Sasuke's even breaths. "Neji and Lee?" he muttered seemingly to himself. "I think I remember them. I fought with them once."
Naruto's eyes widened at this information. Sasuke had a fight with their senpai before? Oh, he remembered now! Yeah, when they were ten, Lee had challenged Sasuke for Sakura's heart! Naruto had demanded that Lee fight him instead since he had loved Sakura way more and he bragged that he was stronger than Sasuke. The duel had come to an end when Gai sensei, who had been passing by at the time, stopped them. If Naruto recalled correctly, Sasuke had ended up on the losing side even if it was considered a draw.
However, Naruto couldn't remember a time when Sasuke and Neji had a fight. Maybe he just forgot about it or they had one when Naruto wasn't around? Neji never really did hang out with them much as a kid since he thought that being a year older than them made him far more mature and advanced. Naruto also recalled that Neji had some kind of grudge against Hinata back then, but he was over it by the time they were all in senior high school.
Naruto shook his head to rid himself of all the distracting thoughts. He frowned in determination at the wall across from him, pretending Sasuke was standing in front of him. He was glaring right back much to Naruto's amusement. "Now listen, you're not going there to settle some score from way back then! This is just a group activity to get the holiday homework out of the way so we can enjoy Golden Week in peace! Now are you gonna join us or not?"
"Hn. What's in it for me?"
"What? Why do you have to get something out of it? I think you owe me since it was a literal pain in the ass to walk this morning."
"Not the worst thing I've done." Sasuke muttered, but Naruto could hear the teasing in his tone.
"Well you did poke me in the ass with a shinai that one time. You've always had it out for my ass. And now you finally have my virginity. Proud of yourself, Uchiha?" Again, he felt giddy at being able to speak more freely about this with Sasuke. As though some invisible barrier in his mind had been torn down, and he could stand right up there with Sasuke to catch his words and throw them right back.
"You say that like it's the first time I poked you there. Remember during the sports festival in elementary school? I got you with the baton during the relay race."
Naruto froze, the world going hazy around him as he recalled that horrid day. "You bastard! I knew you did that on purpose! I had to poop really badly, I hope you know! You made it ten times worse! You've had it out for my ass since back then?"
"I kept telling you it wasn't intentional. It really wasn't. You think I knew about my feelings for you back then?" Sasuke sounded as irritated as he did back then when Naruto kept childishly accusing him of rape.
Naruto hummed in wonder, feigning suspicion of the other teen. "This case will be placed on hold until further evidence can be attained."
Sasuke snorted and muttered a 'whatever' before sighing in contentment. "So Wednesday," he said, reminding Naruto the main reason why he had called Sasuke. "What time?"
"Oh shit, I don't know," he laughed. "I don't think they told me. I'll text it to you later."
"Idiot,"
He gaped at the insult, which many people argued as a nickname for him, but in this case it was definitely an insult. "You called me that last night, too, and considering the circumstances it was totally uncalled for."
"Don't make fart jokes during sex if you don't like it." Sasuke retorted.
"I was genuinely curious! I mean, what happens if you fart and there's a dick up your ass? You were plugging its only escape, Sasuke! I didn't want to burp out gas in your face! It's just not romantic!"
"I'm hanging up now," Sasuke announced.
Naruto chuckled. The guy was probably wondering to himself why he had feelings for Naruto (just an instinctual feeling), which the blond could answer with one, simple question. Who couldn'tlove him?
"All right, teme. I'll email you tonight with more information. Later." He ended the call, smiling down at his phone. The world came back into existence all around him. How did that happen? How did he get so wrapped up in Sasuke that they literally had their own reality to escape to when just talking to each other? Naruto had almost forgotten that he was with friends at McDonalds; that they were waiting for him to find out if they had an extra person joining them for a study group.
He vaguely wondered if this was what love was like, but he quickly dismissed the idea. There was just no way.
He stepped out of the passage and rounded the corner, biting back a shout of surprise when Sakura was standing right there. Her arms were behind her back, hands clasped around her cell phone, and she was staring down at her elevated shoes.
Naruto swallowed thickly, reminiscing on just how invested he had been in his and Sasuke's reality. He tried to play the nonchalant card, not wanting to get worked up over nothing. "Sakura-chan? How long have you been standing there?"
Sakura looked at him with narrowed green eyes, but they quickly widened to normal. "Huh? Oh, not long. I just got done and was waiting for you. Ready to go back in?" She wasted no time in heading for the automatic doors. Naruto had to chase after her.
"You okay?" He took hold of her wrist without thinking.
To his shock, Sakura turned around and glared at him. It was very brief; if he had blinked he would have missed it. She closed her eyes and smiled at him. It was forced, Naruto could tell. "I'm fine, Naruto. You worry too much." She sighed and shook his hand off her wrist. Looking down at the tile floor, she spoke hesitantly. "I just think I've gained a little weight."
Naruto's eyes widened. Is that what this was all about? He had thought for a minute there that Sakura was really pissed about something legitimately concerning. Geez, girls were so bizarre! "You look fine, Sakura-chan!" Naruto assured her. "You always do! You have one of the greatest bodies in all of Konoha!"
This time Sakura gave him a genuine smile. "Thanks, Naruto. You're really sweet. I don't deserve a friend like you."
What was she saying? Girls really are crazy. He attempted to squeeze the life out of the girl, not caring about the other patrons that were staring. "Of course you do, Sakura-chan!"
"Could you two love birds take a seat before you give us all diabetes?" Some guy called out from his seat near the door. He was dressed in the Konoha Junior High uniform and probably thought he was cool for making fun of two senior high students. His buddies sure thought it was funny.
Nonetheless, Naruto and Sakura returned to their table where Hinata and Kiba were squeezed between Ino and Shikamaru on their right, and Tenten and Choji on their left. Naruto almost felt bad for them when he demanded they make room for him and Sakura.
Almost.

Naruto nudged Kiba's arm with his elbow when Hinata's little sister, Hanabi, entered the room to set down yet another tray of potato chip bags and other junk food. "You should help her serve the food." He whispered.
"What?" Kiba kept his voice equally low, but made sure Naruto saw his confusion.
The blond inconspicuously nodded to the girl as she set the bowls down on the table. "Dude, if you can get the little sister to like you then you're in with Hinata, no sweat."
"What are you talking about?" Kiba's eyes flitted around to make sure that everyone else at the big, round table was still focused on Neji's explanation to their complicated science homework.
"Think about it. Girls like to talk about boys when they're together, sisters especially. If Hanabi thinks you're cool, then she'll bring you up to Hinata!" Naruto almost laughed at the vacant expression that adorned Kiba's face as he thought about the girl of dreams talking about him and thinking about him somewhere else other than when he was standing right in front of her.
"Hanabi, let me help you with that." Hinata offered quietly, unknowingly drawing Kiba and Naruto's attention to her.
Naruto's elbowing became much more persistent, practically beating Kiba with bruising force. "Okay- ow, okay, okay!" Kiba hissed, shoving Naruto's arm away. He got up quickly and followed the two girls out of the room, stammering out that he would help, too.
Naruto chuckled and looked at Sakura on his right, but she hadn't been paying attention to their exchange. That was a good thing since she probably would have called him an idiot for suggesting that all girls ever talked about was boys (even though it was true).
He looked around the low set table, studying all the faces. Suigetsu and Jugo, both dragged here by Karin, were sitting respectfully upright with their notebooks in front of them. They had even bowed to Hinata and Neji and thanked them for having them over when they arrived, something Naruto was willing to bet his entire allowance on that Sasuke had made them do.
The Uchiha was currently wedged between Sakura and Karin. Amusingly enough, all three of them seemed to be in deep concentration over their school work. As for Naruto and Kiba, they hadn't even touched lead to paper yet. It was just so much easier to look off of someone else's work, though when he turned to peek at Sakura's notebook she barred her teeth at him. Maybe he shouldn't have been so conspicuous abut copying her work,
Ino was directing all of her questions to Shikamaru, and he was actually helping her even though he looked ready to doze off while doing it. The guy slept through most of his classes so how he was one of the smartest kids in the school was baffling to Naruto. If he could get away with sleeping during class and still get higher than an eighty-five then he'd be set! Ino also did well in class, but every now and then she played the dumb card for obvious (Shikamaru) reasons.
Lee wasn't as helpful as Neji so he kept to a "low" murmur with Choji, the chubby teen gladly breaking into the food that had just been brought out. Shino, a boy that Naruto only knew through Kiba and Hinata (they had been friends since they were little), listened intently to Neji along with Tenten. Or at least Naruto thought he was listening. He honestly couldn't tell with those sunglasses on; the guy could be sleeping sitting up for all he knew.
Naruto smiled to himself. Seeing all his friends (and yes, he was including Suigetsu and Jugo) together in one place really was a sight to behold. Usually they were scattered around, as if in subcategories, and the full effect of the enormity of his circle was lost on him. But wow, he had a lot of friends. They would have a problem if they decided to go to the movies as a group. As if taking in a breath of fresh air from atop a mountain, Naruto let out a satisfied sigh.
Two hours later, everyone took a break from studying and migrated to the kitchen where they chattered over tea. Naruto glanced away from Sakura as she told him of what she had been doing over the break up until today. He frowned when he saw Kiba lean in close to Sasuke and say something in his ear. Sasuke's expression remained inert, but he dismissed himself from the group and followed Kiba out into the hallway.
What were those two doing? Oh no, what if Kiba was going to give Sasuke grief about stealing away Naruto or something? That wasn't cool, Kiba! He had promised he would hang out with them more, and he was keeping to his word!
"Naruto?"
"Huh?" Naruto responded automatically to his name and turned back to Sakura.
She frowned, clearly upset that he hadn't been listening. "What about you? What have you been up to?"
Naruto blinked, forcing his thoughts back onto their previous topic. He had to have faith that neither Kiba nor Sasuke would do something as stupid as get into a fight when everyone was having such a good time. Heck, even Jugo and Suigetsu were getting along with everyone much better than he would have expected.
"Uh…" Naruto began. "I went to Jiraiya's place on Shōwa Day. He treated me to ramen for dinner." He almost drooled as he remembered how good the broth had been.
"Oh, Jiraiya's back in town? I didn't know that." Sakura knew Jiraiya from Naruto introducing them. She had thought him to be charming at first, and then later ended up punching him square in the face when he offered to go bra shopping with her since she needed more padding. Her second encounter with him hadn't been too pleasant either since she walked in on him getting beaten to a pulp by Tsunade, their principal.
Naruto laughed nervously, rubbing the back of his neck. "Yeah, he's been here for a few weeks. He's working on another one of his books."
Sakura wrinkled her nose in distaste, knowing full well what kind of material Jiraiya's books covered. Their homeroom teacher was a fan.
"Yeah, I know," Naruto said without her having to comment. "And other than that, I've been sleeping in late and playing video games at either Kiba or Choji's house."
"Oh," Sakura glanced down at her tea.
"Oh?" Naruto asked. Had he done something wrong? Or maybe he hadn't done enough?
"Well, I just thought," Sakura moved her free hand around aimlessly. "That maybe you would have spent some time with Sasuke-kun."
What was this? Did everyone think that now that Sasuke was back, Naruto was glued to his hip? Needed him like life support or something? "Geez, not you, too," Naruto groaned. "Kiba already talked to me about how I was blowing everybody off for Sasuke, okay? I promised him I'd spend all of Golden Week with him and the guys so you don't need to get on my back about it, too."
Sakura's eyes bulged, obviously not expecting such a tetchy response. "I'm sorry, that isn't what I meant at all. But good, I'm glad he spoke to you. He had been moping about it all last week."
Naruto's cheeks flared from his hostile response and he muttered an apology. He watched her carefully, chewing on the inside of his cheek before finally speaking again. "Was he…" He cleared his throat. "Was he really that upset?"
"Naruto's done nothing but follow Uchiha around like a lost puppy since he got here." Sakura said in a dramatically gruff voice, imitating Kiba's frown that was more of a pout than anything. "He's worse than that girl with the glasses."
Naruto laughed louder than he should have, slapping a hand over his mouth to catch his voice. Sakura giggled with him, bowing her head in embarrassment for poorly mocking Kiba's voice. "He really said that?" Naruto asked from behind his hand.
Sakura nodded, unable to stop her fit of laughter. Naruto was no better off.
He turned just in time to see Kiba coming back into the kitchen alone, immediately being approached by Hinata who had been holding his cup. He stood there and spoke to her casually while Naruto waited for Sasuke to come in as well, but he never did. Kiba didn't…did he? Could he have really overpowered Sasuke so easily? They were only gone a few minutes. He hadn't heardanything, but then again how could he in this room full of chattering teenagers? Hmm…if he were Kiba, how would he kill Sasuke? Probably something dumb like death by swirly or bludgeoned to death with a hairdryer. No, stop! Kiba wouldn't risk going to jail and leaving Hinata by herself just so he could murder Sasuke!
He was being ridiculous.
Neji suggested that they should all get back to work so that no one would have to leave when it was dark. Everyone brought their conversation to a close as they flooded back into the room. Naruto was relieved when he saw that Sasuke was already sitting back in his seat. There wasn't any sign of a fight with either of them, making him relax. Wow, he really did let his imagination get the best of him sometimes.

Naruto hummed some imaginary tune to himself as he dug through his backpack in search of his key. When he didn't find it in its usual pouch, he squatted in front of the door to his apartment and set his bag between his legs. He just about pulled everything out before accepting the reality of the situation.
His key was missing.
Well that was just great. Those keys had a keychain that had sentimental value to him. It was a fox charm that Jiraiya had gotten while in Hokkaido and was engraved with a prayer of protection on the back. It was one of Naruto's favorite gifts from the old pervert. How could he have been so careless as to lose it?
He'd have to go back to Hinata's tomorrow and ask if they happened to have found it while cleaning up. In the meantime, he would have to go ask his landlord for a spare (much to his annoyance).

"You sure it's okay for me to be here today?" Naruto asked as he removed his shoes at the front door of the Inuzuka house on Saturday. He followed his friend down the hall, glancing into the living room to see Hana bent over something on the coffee table, her three dogs lying around their master dutifully.
"Of course!" Kiba patted Akamaru's head as the dog followed alongside of him. "It was my mom's idea anyway." He turned into the kitchen where his mother was working over the stove.
Her hair was wild and stuck out in all directions, yet it suspiciously didn't sway too much when she whipped her head around to see the two boys who had entered the kitchen. "Good, you're here. Kiba, set the table." She ordered austerely. Her tone and features softened when she turned her attention on Naruto. "Naruto, welcome back. How are you today?"
Naruto knew that this front was just a way to get him to ease up in their house before she began barking at him just as much as Kiba for either being too loud or not cleaning up after themselves. His hands curled into fists as he prepared himself. "I'm good. Thank you for inviting me to your home even though it's a holiday."
"You think I care that it's Boys' Day?" And there it was, her voice raising and making Naruto instinctively clench his buttocks. "I'd much prefer that it was back in March instead of Girls' Day! Then I wouldn't have to celebrate this punk's bullshit two times in a row." She jutted a thumb to Kiba who growled at her in annoyance.
Naruto laughed nervously, knowing that she was referring to the fact that there were no other holidays between Boys' Day and Kiba's birthday. Kiba looked at him pleadingly and he shrugged, unsure of what the other teen wanted him to do. "Uh…" he began, Kiba's mother glaring at him as a way to show that she was waiting to hear what he had to say. "Too bad Marine Day doesn't come on the first Monday of July, huh?"
The sound of Kiba slapping a hand to his forehead echoed in the silence.
Kiba's mom grunted and turned back to the pot on the stove. "Who cares about Marine Day anyway?"
Naruto frowned. Clearly his outstanding wit was wasted on this family.
"Hey Naruto," Hana called from the threshold, making Naruto turn to look at her. "Come with me." She clutched something orange to her chest and headed further down the hall to the back door.
Naruto followed her, nearly getting run over by her dogs when they rushed after her in excitement. He checked behind him to see if Kiba was coming, but realized he was being left to fend for himself. Oh well, he could handle being alone with Hana. She was far more laidback than the rest of the family. She probably got it from their father whom Naruto never met. According to Kiba, his mother scared his dad off shortly after he was born. Shikamaru always did say that moms were scary. Naruto wondered if his would have been the same.
Stepping into the large backyard, Naruto sighed as he reveled in how much he disliked Boys' Day. It was a day when families celebrated the sons and mothers. Samurai dolls were on display in almost every window he passed, and colorful koi streamers billowed in the breeze from every roof and apartment balcony, covering the sky. As tradition, the biggest koi windsock was black, representing the father. The next one, only slightly smaller and red, represented the mother. The smallest one, if there was only one son in the household, was blue.
All of it was one big reminder of Naruto's abandonment. No dolls to put on display, no streamer to hang. No family to pray for his future success, no parents for him to show gratitude to. Just an empty apartment with one occupant.
"Over here, Naruto!" Hana called, breaking Naruto out of his resentful thoughts. He blindly followed her around the shady side of the house, only showing curiosity of where they were going when they arrived at a ladder. Hana ascended it quickly, shouting for him to join her on the roof.
Naruto eyed the ladder up and down before shuffling around the dogs to get to it. He felt like he was under a spotlight when the dogs stared after him as he climbed. He stopped and looked down at them, all three completely stoic. He frowned and continued climbing.
He graciously accepted the hand offered to him when he reached the top. He sat down next to Hana and scooted after her as inched towards the pole where two long koi windsocks that represented Kiba and his mother whipped around violently in the sudden wind that came in from the north. They looked like captured fish that wanted so badly to escape their hooks swim freely in the sky. Alas, their fate is sealed and they will remain trapped here to gaze up at the sky only once a year, Naruto thought bitterly.
Why did Hana bring him up here? He really wasn't in the mood to get a better view of the neighboring streamers.
"Here," Hana shoved the orange material she had been holding earlier at him. "Hold onto it tightly, now. I worked really hard on it."
Naruto took the flailing fabric and smoothed it out over his lap to examine it. His lips parted, but no words came out. There, stretched over his thighs, was an orange and white koi streamer. He looked up at Hana, his mouth mimicking a carp's as words failed him.
Kiba let out a loud grunt as he settled onto the roof next to him, their shoulders touching when he leaned on Naruto. He pointed to the windsock and said, "You get the smallest one because you're younger."
Hana smirked and took the koi streamer from Naruto, ready to hang it with the rest.
He wasn't sure why, but he couldn't see the streamers all too well suddenly. His vision was blurry and shapes became nothing but contorted colors. He dug the heels of his hands into his eyes to get rid of the tears threatening to spill out. What was this? What was going on? He knew the answer to those questions and yet he was so scared that when he opened his eyes he would be just waking up in his lonely apartment on a holiday he loathed because he couldn't participate.
The wind didn't stop and Naruto dubbed it safe to open his eyes again. He could see the streamers much clearer now. Hana smiled warmly at him and Naruto whipped his head around to look at Kiba with wet eyes.
Kiba scratched the back of his head nervously, refusing to make eye contact. "I never really thought about it much before, but this is a day to celebrate guys so no guy should be alone today, right?" He fidgeted in his spot, a frown wrinkling his brow. "Your parents are idiots for not appreciating your life! You're one hell of a son and they're missing out big time! So…don't let a stupid holiday get ya down because of a couple of morons, okay?"
They almost fell off the roof from the force of Naruto's hug. Naruto was fumbling around in his minds for words; all he could do was squeeze his best friend until the brunette wheezed for mercy.
"Kiba…I…" Naruto released him to wipe his eyes with the back of his hands.
"Naruto, it's just a streamer. You don't have to make a formal speech or anything. Just a simple thank you will suffice." Kiba said, obviously finding this hesitant, teary side of his friend weird.
Naruto laughed and punched the teen in the arm playfully. "Thanks," he turned to Hana. "Thank you so much. This means a lot. It's probably one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me."
And it was. Sure, people have shown him kindness throughout the years, and Naruto held them dear in his heart. He appreciated every little thing that anyone ever did for him. This was something bigger, though. This took things to a level that was out of his comfort zone. This wasn't 'sweet' or 'thoughtful' of them. This was downright cruel…in the worst way possible, too!
The love Naruto was feeling for this family was insurmountable and he couldn't even tell them! He didn't know where to start, if he even could. Was it wrong of him to want to stay here with this family, in this moment? He wanted to wrap himself in it like a blanket and sit right there on the roof, refusing to budge. But that was selfish of him. All he could do was smile and thank them. Because he was grateful. So fucking grateful it hurt.
"As long as you're happy," Hana said sweetly, pushing Naruto's bangs out of his face when she ran a hand over his head. Kiba really did have the coolest sister ever. "We're just sorry that we hadn't thought of this sooner. All those years wasted."
Naruto shook his head. "No, this is more than-"
"Wow, looks great you guys!" Kiba's mother suddenly hollered from the backyard. "Now come inside! It's time for lunch!"
Kiba cheered and scrambled for the ladder. "Yeah! Oyakodon!"
"Oyakodon?" Naruto asked in surprise, following his friend. He hadn't been expecting a pun dish on a holiday, but he supposed that they were going against tradition anyway so why not take it all the way.
By evening the table was cleared and Tsume had Naruto and Kiba clean the kitchen and dishes. As Naruto put his shoes on at the front door, Kiba's mother handed him a short, fat samurai doll. She ordered him to put it on display wherever he ended up next year since he would always be like a son to her. Naruto thanked the family again before leaving the house.
He was honestly relieved to be out of there. He had been smothered with so many emotions at once that he felt like his chest was going to burst. His thoughts and feelings would be splattered on the walls and members of the Inuzuka family and he would have had an even bigger mess to clean up. He would have to think of someway to show them his gratitude properly. Maybe splurge on their Christmas presents this year. He'd have to start saving his money now.
The ringing of his phone cut his thoughts short and he stuck the samurai under his left arm to dig out his phone from his pocket. He smiled at the name on the screen and slid it open to answer. "Hey."
"Narutoooooo," Jiraiya drawled. "Having a good Children's Day so far?"
Normally Naruto would be annoyed by that question, but he couldn't stop from smiling. "Yeah, actually. Really good." He heard what sounded like glasses clinking and voices murmuring in the background, some closer than others. "You're at a bar, aren't you? You know you're supposed to be working on your book."
"You sound like my editor. When will you people understand that I need inspiration to write?" At least he didn't sound too drunk.
Naruto smiled, but then quickly winced. "Oh, right. I'm sorry, perv. I lost my keys with the fox keychain you gave me. I swear they just vanished."
"I don't remember giving you a fox." Jiraiya admitted quickly. "Did you do anything today?"
Despite being annoyed about the keychain, Naruto told him about his afternoon at Kiba's house. He made sure to leave out the part where he cried, but he certainly found it much easier to express his feelings about the whole thing now that the moment was passed. He really wished he could have been this fluent to Kiba's family's face.
"That's great to hear, kid. I was worried that you'd be spending the day by yourself, but I'm glad that you have such nice friends that are willing to do that for you. You know, when your mother was pregnant with you, she had been really excited when the doctor told her it was a boy. She had your dad hang three koi streamers outside the house even though you weren't born yet." Jiraiya said something under his breath, getting a giggly response from some woman. "I have to go now. Have a pleasant night. I know I will!"
Naruto frowned when the call ended, glaring at his phone as he slid it shut. He wasn't upset about Jiraiya hanging up on him in a hurry. That wasn't it at all. He was beginning to wish that the pervert would stop telling him all these contradicting things about his parents loving him unconditionally even before he was born. Because if that was the case, then where the hell were they now? What had changed? Why wasn't he celebrating Boys' Day with them in their house right now? Why was he walking back to his sucky, empty apartment right now?
Looking up to see his building come into view, he felt the anger bubbling within him suddenly evaporate. He could always see his balcony from this point in the street, that wasn't unusual. But something was different tonight. Dangling helplessly from the protruding railing was a pair of koi streamers, one dark blue and the other a vibrant orange.
Stopping in his tracks, Naruto stared at them in mystification. Did they get carried off in the wind from earlier in the afternoon and somehow get tangled on his railing? But they looked to be tied their so neatly…
His feet began to move without him even thinking about it, and he suddenly sprint the remaining block to his building, never taking his eyes off his balcony until he got inside. He rushed up the stairs to his apartment, taking two at a time. His heart thudded in his chest as he stood outside the door. One hand in his pocket, gripping his keys, he hesitantly twisted the door knob and opened the door.
Unlocked, Naruto thought in mild panic. What was going on today? First Kiba's house and now someone had broken into his apartment to hang up koi streamers? Was this some kind of practical joke, or…
"You're late."
Naruto let out the breath he hadn't been aware he was holding and turned to his kitchen.
"Take your shoes off and close the door. Don't forget to lock it." Sasuke commanded from where he sat in one of Naruto's kitchen chairs.
Naruto did as he was told and stumbled into the kitchen, sniffing the air. "You're cooking?"
"You were running late so I had to heat it up again." Sasuke got out of the chair and stood at the stove, turning off the burner under the pot. He used a fork to scoop the noodles out and place them into two bowls before carefully pouring equal amounts of broth from the pot into them.
Licking his lips at the sight of the ramen, Naruto returned his attention to the raven-haired teen. "Sasuke, how did you get in here? You better not have picked my lock."
Sasuke faced him silently and dug something out of his pocket. He tossed it onto the middle of the kitchen table, a fox keychain swaying back and forth from the momentum then settling. "I swiped them from your bag on Wednesday. Sorry if that caused you any problems but it had to be done. Did you have fun at Kiba's?"
Naruto stared at him, perplexed. "Yeah, but how did you…" Realization hit him like a ton of bricks, making his head spin. Just moments ago he had been fuming over going home to an empty apartment and now Sasuke was here waiting for him with reheated ramen. Saying he was late because he had been expecting him to leave Kiba's house sooner than later. His vision went blurry again, losing sense of everything's shape. He hugged the samurai doll to his chest, using it as an anchor. "Did you guys plan this?"
"It was Kiba's idea." Sasuke admitted with a shrug.
Naruto let out a laugh and wiped his eyes, appreciative of nothing in particular when no more tears threatened to make an appearance. Honestly, this wasn't like him at all. "Thanks Sasuke."
Sasuke nodded and resumed serving the ramen, sitting back in his chair from before. He waited for Naruto to sit down and begin shoveling noodles into his mouth before starting his own bowl.
"Thought you didn't like ramen," Naruto smiled knowingly. It fell when Sasuke didn't make a comment, not taking the bait much to Naruto's annoyance. He tried a different approach. "The streamers…where'd ya get them?"
This time the Uchiha responded. "They're the ones Itachi puts out every year. He said I could take them."
"He knows you're here?"
"Mhm,"
Naruto smiled to himself. He never really thought much about how poor Itachi must feel about Sasuke's delinquency. It must give him a peace of mind to know that Sasuke was somewhere like Naruto's apartment instead of in a street brawl. Not that Naruto was bragging or anything; he knew that he was inadvertently some other kind of gateway to hell when it came to Sasuke's innocence. It wasn't his fault though, so he wasn't sorry.
After dinner, Sasuke ushered Naruto to his bedroom and pointed out a Darth Vader action figure that was posed with his red lightsaber high in the air on top of his dresser. He had some kind of shy pride about the set up.
"I don't know if you remember when they were selling those…" Sasuke said quietly when Naruto let out an obnoxious snort.
"I do, I do!" Naruto placed the samurai dolls Kiba's mother had given him next to the Darth Vader, snickering when the doll towered over the action figure. Turning back to Sasuke, he leaned against his dresser and smiled. "Thanks Sasuke. You didn't have to do all this."
"And to end the evening…" Sasuke moved over to the bed, shuffling through a plastic bag that Naruto had failed to notice till now. He stiffly faced Naruto and held his hands out, revealing a long tube in his right hand and a box of condoms in his left.
Blue eyes widened at the items, suddenly feeling like he was too young to know what they were. But that was just ridiculous. Smirking at Sasuke, he said, "Was this also part of Kiba's plan?"
"I may have made a few tweaks."
"Two boys having sex on Boys' Day? That's got to be some kind of bad omen." Naruto laughed at his own joke.
Sasuke shrugged with a hint of a smirk on his lips. "Seems appropriate since it is Boys' Day and not Boys' and Girls' Day."
"You drive a convincing argument, Uchiha." Naruto twisted around and turned off the light, approaching Sasuke's silhouette in front of the window. Despite the confidence in his words, he hesitated with his lips a breath away from Sasuke's. Half a minute passed before hands grabbed him by his head and yanked him into a kiss. Naruto smiled into the kiss and forced his way back against the hands. It quickly became a battle of kiss-the-Naruto as he turned his head this way and that to avoid Sasuke's lips making contact with his. He was quite proud of how long he was able to hold out on his own before an animalistic growl from a disgruntled Uchiha made him take pity.
"Dobe," Sasuke mumbled against his lips when Naruto finally met him. "You can forget about me being gentle now."
Naruto glared at what he could see of Sasuke from the light coming in through his window. "That's a little unreasonable."
Sasuke smirked and pushed Naruto's opened shirt off his shoulders and didn't even wait for it to fall to the floor before lifting the hem of the long-sleeved undershirt over the head of blond hair.
Naruto was yanked forward by the small of his back; his bare chest flush against Sasuke's clothed one. He wasn't prepared for the bite to his neck and he gasped. His knees gave out beneath him for a moment from the shock and he had to grab the material of Sasuke's hoodie for support. The biting didn't let up and was suddenly being mixed with kisses, sucks, and an adventurous tongue.
It wasn't like he wanted to just stand around and let Sasuke do all the work, but….but that mouth. Oh god, those teeth! Fuck, if that nip had been just a little higher- oh, nope, he got it. Geez, he could barely stand and Sasuke was just feasting on him like a vampire. This wouldn't do. Naruto had to take some initiative and fast.
Calling on whatever emergency strength he could, he shoved Sasuke onto the bed and slapped a hand over his neck. His skin felt hot, but he knew that that was an internal thing rather than external. He unapologetically watched Sasuke pull the tube and now dented box of condoms out from under him. "Clothes off," Naruto said. He almost didn't recognize his own voice, it was husky and imposing.
Sasuke knocked the plastic bag off the bed before complying. He removed his sweatshirt, leaving his hair in disarray and then even more so when he peeled off his gray undershirt. He stood gracefully and undid his belt before staring at Naruto.
Naruto flushed at what he saw flash across Sasuke's visage. He glanced down at the pale hands holding both ends of the belt apart before returning his gaze to Sasuke's expectant face.
"Bastard," he hissed before stepping forward and roughly unbuttoning and unzipping his pants. He pushed them down Sasuke's legs, waiting for the other to step out of them before tossing them to the side. His hands glided up Sasuke's legs as he stood, stopping on narrow hips. His mouth went dry and he gripped Sasuke tighter.
He never got a chance to touch Sasuke in return last time, and now that the opportunity was presenting itself he couldn't swallow down his excitement. He looked down between their bodies, his baggy jeans helping to conceal his arousal while Sasuke's was prominent within his tight boxer briefs. Naruto didn't dare look at Sasuke's face while his right hand trailed over the fabric of the undergarment. Stopping centimeters away from the encased erection, he bit his bottom lip. He had never touched another penis besides his own. It was almost exhilarating to be so close to Sasuke's; knowing it was in this state because Sasuke was aroused by Naruto.
Experimentally, he traced his fingers over the bulge. It twitched and Naruto bit back a laugh. A pale hand gripped his wrist suddenly and pushed his hand against the rock hard organ. Sasuke let out a sigh of relief and Naruto's head shot up to look at him.
Sasuke's eyes were closed and he looked as though he were sleeping standing up, though his cheeks were flushed.
Licking his dry lips, Naruto squeezed his hand around the erection.
Sasuke's eyebrows knitted together and he opened his eyes, revealing that they were glazed. He pulled Naruto's head forward with his free hand, kissing him soundly while he made the blond's captured hand rub against him through his underwear. He let out a shuddering breath into the kiss.
Naruto continued to rub Sasuke even as the hand on his wrist loosened and eventually released him in order to grab onto Naruto's hip for support. Very slowly as to not break whatever spell of submission Sasuke was currently under, he guided the boy to sit on the edge of the bed and then to fully lay on it. Naruto knelt on either side of Sasuke's thighs and massaged the bulge from a new angle.
Sasuke turned his head into the pillow, lips pressed together tightly and breathing fast and hard through his nose.
So erotic. So utterly and dreadfully erotic. Naruto's painful arousal begged to be released from the confines of his jeans, but he was afraid that taking his pants off would ruin the moment. That just couldn't happen. Sasuke was relenting to him and it was so unbelievably hot. And even if he could manage to undress all the way, he couldn't touch himself. He wouldn't. This wasn't about his pleasure. This was about Sasuke's. It was his alone and Naruto would give it to him as long as he was permitted.
Without any sudden movements, Naruto slipped his hand inside Sasuke's underwear and took hold of him.
"Naruto," Sasuke whispered, lifting his hips off the bed.
This was amazing! Naruto wanted to shout at the top of his lungs. Don't get him wrong, this wasn't dominance he was rejoicing in. He couldn't care less about that when it came to Sasuke; the bastard could have as much control as he wanted. This was a display of trust from Sasuke to Naruto. He was literally allowing Naruto to take him in his hands and bring him out of his comfort zone. Naruto wouldn't even dream of taking this any further, and he had a feeling that that was exactly why Sasuke was letting this happen.
Naruto kept his grip firm as he stroked Sasuke slow and steady. Sasuke's lips finally parted, jaw slack, and Naruto had to close his eyes at the moan that graced his ears. What a gorgeous sound. He pumped his hand faster, trying to engrain the texture of Sasuke's penis in his memory. Every vein stood out to him and each drop of pre-cum that got mixed into the action made Naruto a new level of giddy. He was making Sasuke feel good…
A hand caught him by his forearm and he stilled, realizing that his turn was over for the time being.
"You can stop now." Sasuke said in a gruff voice. "Take off the rest of your clothes."
"Okay," Naruto was quiet as he removed his hand. He got off the bed and bent over as he held his pants and boxers down to get his feet through the holes. He turned back to Sasuke who had discarded his own underwear and socks. The teen had moved Naruto's pillow to the foot of the bed and stared at him keenly.
Naruto licked his lips and settled down in front of Sasuke on the bed, head on the pillow and legs stretched on either side of Sasuke. He felt his heartbeat increase with panic when Sasuke's fingers glided over the insides of his thighs. Oh fuck no, not this again.
"No…" he whimpered.
Sasuke almost looked shocked at Naruto's resistance. "No?"
Naruto shook his head, eyes determined.
"But you liked it last time. Right here…" Before Naruto could do anything, Sasuke pressed his right thigh to the bed and took a big chomp of flesh.
"God!" The shout was inevitable. His thighs…his damn thighs! Why did he have to react like this? Great, and now Sasuke was chuckling, the sadistic bastard.
"'God,' huh?" Sasuke nuzzled the flexed limb that was clearly in the defensive now. "You really don't like it when I do this?" He left no room for a verbal answer, biting lower than before.
"No-oh! Ah…" Naruto shuddered. This guy was just asking to be smacked in the head. He would do it if he could just get his arms to stop gripping the sheet beneath him like a lifeline. He had to get Sasuke away from his thighs, but how? Convert his attention to his dick? No, somehow he had to get Sasuke away from that area completely.
No words were necessary from this point on. Reaching down, he touched the top of Sasuke's head to get his attention. Eyes on him, he could only pray that Sasuke could read the raw desire on his face. He licked his lips in invitation, and almost had to bite back a laugh when the effect was immediate.
Sasuke crawled up his body, pressing their pelvises together and claiming his lips. Their moans met somewhere in the middle, followed by even thicker sounds of gasping, panting. He reached between them to take hold of both their leaky erections, pumping them slowly.
Naruto was so absorbed in the moment that he wasn't sure how long they had stayed like that; like they were wrapped up in a void, nothing material around them. Even the bed felt like it had faded to nothing and all Naruto had in front of him was Sasuke. The hand worked both their needs teasingly, but the direct contact was stimulating enough on its own.
Sasuke stretched his neck out to give Naruto more room in his mouth's eager search. He used the distraction to feel around the bed for the tube of lube. He pushed up onto his knees and squeezed more than enough onto his fingers, muttering an apology when he spilled some of the cold gel on Naruto's belly. He leaned back on his haunches and smeared the lubricant on the puckered hole. He swallowed thickly, knowing he was going to get a chance to be inside Naruto again so soon.
Their hearts throbbed in unison.
Naruto could feel his in his throat. It was easier to remain relaxed without any instruction this time around now that he knew what to expect. Not that he really wanted to compare, but it was like taking a dump. If he just let Sasuke stretch him then there was no pain; it was almost natural. He inhaled sharply through his nostrils when Sasuke added a third finger. So he wasn't used to it just yet…
He threw his head back with a silent scream when his prostate was prodded. He would never get used to that. Never ever, but that didn't mean it didn't feel sooo good. Who would have thought that such a sensitive bundle of nerves was inside him this whole time! It was crazy! He wondered if he would have ever discovered it if it weren't for Sasuke.
That was beside the point. Sasuke was pulling his fingers out now and wiping them clean on Naruto's bed. He watched the teen open the bent box of condoms and tear a single package off the chain. He ended up staring in fascination while Sasuke rolled the condom down his length. He wanted to reach out and feel it, but Sasuke was already getting into position. If Sasuke was surprised that Naruto lifted his hips in readiness he didn't show it.
Despite it having been a week since the last time they copulated, the descent into that intoxicating heat was brisk. It swallowed him inch by inch until he was balls deep in what Sasuke assumed both heaven and hell felt like. He couldn't keep his eyes open any longer, but the view of Naruto's face contorting as Sasuke entered him had been plenty. He supported Naruto's lower back with his hands and leaned over the blond.
Naruto met him halfway, propping himself up on his elbows on the pillow. The kiss was chaste compared to their current position. They rubbed their lips together while they positioned themselves more comfortably. A string of saliva clung to their mouths, but then vanished when they met again.
Unfortunately, Naruto had to pull away when Sasuke began his thrusting. It was hard enough to breathe without Sasuke stealing his breath away with such tender kisses. He was in so much deeper this time that Naruto had to withdraw his hips when the Uchiha delved in. Yet he followed after him when Sasuke pulled back.
"Fuck!" Naruto groaned when Sasuke slammed into his prostate with a powerful thrust. It actually felt so good that it hurt. "Mmmmm," he moaned harmoniously. "Sasuke..."
Taking that as a sign of approval, Sasuke drove his hips even faster and as hard as he could into Naruto. His nails bit into the small of Naruto's back with the intensity of his thrusts; he could barely hold on with the sweat accumulating on their bodies. He could tell he was leaving grooves in the tan skin but he really couldn't spare the mind to care as Naruto shouted his name again. The clenching muscles around him were ungodly.
"Sasuke! Shi…it!" Was it just Naruto or was the sex way more intense than before? Not that he couldn't handle it, but something told him in the back of his mind that he was going to have another rough morning. Call it instinct. Hadn't Sasuke promised to be gentler the next time? Oh yeah, he threw that privilege out the window with his playing-hard-to-get stunt. Sasuke had this stupid tendency to hold grudges over the stupidest things.
His bangs were clinging to his damp forehead so he reached a hand up to try to wipe some sweat away. His other arm failed to support him alone and he fell back on his pillow. Was he breathing? He was sure he could hear himself panting, feel his mouth drying from the constant sucking in and expelling air. Nonetheless, he was getting lightheaded and the feeling in his arms and legs were melting away to numbness (probably from the blinding force of Sasuke's thrusts). His voice was hoarse as he called out, "Your…hand…touch me like last…time! Ah!"
He was so close. His stomach was tight with the awareness of what was to be a powerful orgasm and his legs, which he had crossed at the ankles around Sasuke at some point, yanked on him as encouragement. The corners of his opened mouth twitched upward when his demand was met.
Sasuke only managed to give the pulsating dick a few wet strokes before Naruto was arching his back painfully and coming, hard. He quickly covered Naruto's mouth with his when the idiot let out the loudest cry of the night. His lips and cheeks vibrated as they swallowed Naruto's ecstasy. Somehow, Naruto's voice alone made him moan; that and the combination of tan hips rising to pull him in deeper and squeeze around him. He couldn't even finish his final thrust before reaching completion inside the condom.
Naruto was out of it while Sasuke pulled out. He didn't move a muscle the whole time Sasuke discarded the spent condom into the wastebasket, and even during the brief period that Sasuke wiped down Naruto's chest and stomach with a paper towel. He smiled in gratitude as he scooted over to make room for Sasuke on the bed, the raven-haired teen pulling the cover over them even though they were lying on the wrong end of the bed. "That was…" He swallowed to sooth his arid throat. "That was some plan you and Kiba cooked up."
Sasuke snorted. "Just looking out for your best interests. Every last one of them."
"Pft!" Naruto grinned big enough to flash his gums. He cupped his hands behind his head and sighed in satisfaction. Back in reality, he was free to think of how his friends were the best; he didn't know what he'd do without them. Between Kiba's efforts to make him feel like he had a family and Sasuke twisting his nipples, he couldn't ask for—
Wait, Sasuke twisting his nipples?
"Teme…" he growled despite his fluttering lashes. Sasuke had tried touching his nipples before when they were in the tub, but it had made Naruto feel emasculated. He associated the act as being something guys did to girls' breasts after having read about it in one of Jiraiya's books (Naruto had sneaked a peek at one of the pervert's manuscripts while he snored on the couch). The fact that Sasuke was trying again despite the initial rejection irritated Naruto.
Sasuke backed off, but only for a little while. He was soon tracing random shapes on Naruto's flushed chest with the pad of his middle finger. He waited for some kind of discouragement from the other teen. When he received none, he threw caution to the wind and lurched forward. He latched onto a pert nipple and sucked gently. He couldn't suppress his smirk when Naruto suddenly arched his back at the sensation, and he flicked his tongue over the bud.
Naruto leered at the smug bastard who was giving him the cockiest smirk in the history of…well…bastards. His body was still humming with the pleasure of their previous activities from literallyminutes ago. Despite having just come – and so intensely, too – he found himself getting painfully aroused. This was ridiculous! They were just nipples; how stimulating can they possibly be? He let out a frustrated growl and slipped his right hand from beneath his head to slam it against the wall. "Damn it, Sasuke! Can't you give me a break?"
Eyebrow raised in question, Sasuke lifted the blanket to get a view of Naruto's predicament. He kissed Naruto on the lips briefly and receded beneath the cover.
At first Naruto gawked at the large mound that was settling between his legs; he wasn't even feeling swept away by the moment like he usually did. He was just hard and Sasuke was being a pervert. But...oh…
In no time he was breathless from the moist heat that sheathed his sensitive organ. He moaned when strong thumbs massaged his inner thighs in slow circles that complimented the equally slow sucks. There was no time to warn Sasuke when he came all too soon. It hurt to be ejaculating a second time after such a short while, but that didn't distract him from the mildly horrifying realization that Sasuke was…swallowing what came out of him. It wasn't much, yet Sasuke sucked and licked up every last drop like it was a delicacy. Did it actually taste good? He couldn't imagine it being that great.
Sasuke joined him on the pillow again. He smirked at the exhausted boy and combed his fingers through blond bangs.
"Sasuke…" Naruto caught Sasuke's wrist and held it to his chest, his eyes closed due to the swift ebbing of his consciousness. "Stay the night, please? I need you here right by my side…"
He was out before he even got an answer.
"Sure, dobe," Sasuke muttered. He did stay the night, as well as the entirety of the next day.
