8 Growing Part 1
Naruto was the first one to wake up the next morning. It didn't happen very often that he woke up first; when Sasuke spent the night, he usually woke before Naruto. Blinking sleepily, he went to turn on his left side, figuring he could still catch a bit more sleep as it was only Sunday, but something stopped him from moving. Something heavy and warm.
Surprise chasing away the last vestiges of sleep, he looked down and was greeted by the sight of tousled, black tresses fanned open across his chest. He couldn't see Sasuke's face from this position, but the steady and slow rise and fall of his chest indicated that he was still deeply asleep. His head was lying roughly on the spot where he'd be able to hear Naruto's heart beat if he was awake, and when the blond shifted slightly, he felt an arm curled around his hips underneath the sheets. Sometime during the night they had lowered until they covered their waists partly and Naruto was treated to the sight of soft pale skin when the morning sun peeked through a gap in the curtains.
Both of them only wearing shorts, Naruto became at once instantly aware of their bare skin pressed against each other; their legs tangled underneath the sheets; Sasuke's warm breath caressing his sternum every time he exhaled.
The way their scents were so mingled together, he had a hard time figuring out where his started and ended. It was as if someone had taken his scent and that of Sasuke's and mixed them together until they formed the perfect blend. One which had warmth filling the pit of his belly and the tips of his fingers tingling when he inhaled deeply.
It suddenly hit him that he was no longer a virgin.
Last night he'd given himself completely to Sasuke, had welcomed the Alpha in his body, had let himself fall and trust the other one to catch him despite his worries, despite that little bit of fear making him anxious that he wouldn't be good for Sasuke.
He'd been stupid to be worried. Sasuke had taken care of him, had been so wonderful and gentle, yet so passionate at the same time, it made Naruto's eyes prickle with unshed tears. His first time had been everything he had ever dreamt of and more and he was so glad he had shared it with Sasuke. No matter what would happen in the future, he knew he would never regret having given himself to the dark haired boy sleeping on top of him.
Even if he was rather heavy and kind of restricting his air supply just a tiny bit.
Wriggling one arm free from underneath the sheets, he reached out his hand and tentatively, lightly, started running his fingers through Sasuke's hair; feeling the soft locks slip through them like water. The strands whispered against his skin and he took care not to accidentally snag or pull them, not wanting to wake up Sasuke. It wasn't every day that he could witness the dark haired boy sleeping so deeply and he was loathe to disrupt that.
As he laid there, caressing Sasuke's hair, he became aware of some red bluish marks blooming across the side of Sasuke's neck, visible whenever he stroked the hair back, and his cheeks warmed when he realised those marks were there because of him. His mind flashed back to last night when he'd nipped and sucked at random patches of the Alpha's skin, tasting salt and sweat and everything that made up Sasuke. He was sure that when Sasuke woke and sat up, more of those marks would dot his collarbone and his chest. He wondered if there were any visible marks on his skin, left behind by Sasuke's teeth and lips. It'd be nice to have them, he mused absently, daring to touch one of the marks in the Alpha's neck before he went back to caressing his hair. A way to show others that he belonged to Sasuke and the Alpha belonged to him.
There were still girls trying to ask out Sasuke, he knew. Even though Sasuke never showed any interest, didn't reciprocate their feelings, some still tried to convince him to go out on a date with them. He'd been nearby a couple of times when a girl had gathered enough courage to ask out Sasuke, but he wasn't bothered by it. He felt annoyed in Sasuke's stead, knowing how much the dark haired boy disliked that particular type of interest, but nothing more than that. He knew Sasuke would never give those people even a second glance, not as long as he was together with the blond Omega.
It made him wonder whether others would know now. Would they realise something had changed between Sasuke and Naruto? Would they be able to see that they had taken what most considered to be the last step in their relationship? Did Naruto look different now, now that he was no longer a virgin, now that he knew how it felt to be touched like that, now that he had experienced the heady sensation of someone being inside of him?
He didn't really feel different, but at the same time … He knew something had changed. An awareness that he hadn't had before now had his skin prickling wherever he and Sasuke touched, had warmth simmering in the pit of his stomach and made his heart full, himself feeling like he was about to burst out of his skin.
Not even the lingering ache at the base of his spine, the soreness he experienced when he clenched his cheeks experimentally, could put a damper on the awe which filled him at the memory of last night, of joining their bodies in a dance as old as time itself and having those intense dark eyes gazing at him in wonder, knowing he'd put that look in them, knowing he'd been the one to make Sasuke's voice go rough and his cheeks flush.
Maybe Sasuke had heard his heart skip a beat or it was just a coincidence, but Sasuke stirred suddenly and Naruto's hand froze. For a couple of seconds neither one moved until the Alpha groaned softly and raised his head, blinking sleepily at the blond.
"Good morning," he rasped out and sat up, rubbing his eyes briefly while bracing his weight on the other hand.
"Morning. Slept well?" Naruto asked; his gaze automatically drawn towards Sasuke's chest. And yeah, there they were: several reddish blueish marks colouring his collarbone and chest. They stood out starkly against his pale skin and Naruto had the absurd desire to poke at them.
"Can't complain," Sasuke muttered and rolled his shoulders, hiding a yawn behind his hand. Dark eyes were decidedly clearer when they landed on the Omega again. "How about you? How are you feeling?"
Knowing the other one would know immediately if he lied – even if it was a small white lie – Naruto admitted, "A bit sore, but I'm okay."
Sasuke's forehead creased with a light frown. "But not too bad, right?" he asked sharply.
"Definitely not too bad," Naruto grinned.
"So, no regrets?" A dark eyebrow quirked and when Sasuke shifted slightly, Naruto could feel his half hard dick pressing into his thigh, making him inhale sharply.
"No regrets," he reassured him hastily, biting his lip when Sasuke tilted his head to the right.
"None, whatsoever?" Sasuke asked and nudged Naruto's legs apart. The Omega spread his legs almost automatically, a bit off guard, and then Sasuke rolled over, landing between his legs and slotting their hips together.
Naruto hissed when their cocks, still separated by thin cloth, brushed against each other and scowled up at the dark haired boy. "Don't start teasing me if you're not going to finish what you start," he said petulantly.
"And what exactly do you want me to finish?" Sasuke smirked, his eyes glinting devilishly. He was resting most of his weight on his arms now, which were bracketing Naruto, but his lower body was nestled between the blond's thighs, making sure the younger one felt everything.
Naruto couldn't help but squirm, which actually made everything worse as it pressed him closer to Sasuke, and he flushed when dark eyes flickered down, wondering whether the other one knew he was growing slick again.
"You know what I mean," he muttered, breathing out through his mouth when Sasuke nuzzled his neck. Clasping his arms around the Alpha's neck, he turned his head sideways, giving the older boy more space.
"You said you were sore," Sasuke mumbled, pressing kisses as light as a butterfly's touch in Naruto's neck.
"A bit! I can barely feel it," Naruto insisted. "You were so careful with me I barely feel any soreness."
Sasuke snorted and pulled back slightly, looking a tad amused. "I'm sorry for being careful with you," he said, rolling his eyes.
"I'm not complaining," Naruto huffed, reeling him in to press a kiss against his mouth, morning breath be damned. "I'm just saying, if you want …" he hinted, trailing off; still feeling a bit bashful to say it aloud, despite what they had done last night.
Black eyes glinted before Sasuke shook his head. "Not all the way," he said calmly.
"What? Why not?" For a brief moment the insecure part of him worried that last night hadn't been good for Sasuke at all and that was why he was refusing to go all the way now. What if Naruto sucked really badly? What if he was the only one who'd enjoyed himself yesterday?
Sasuke looked at him like he was stupid. "Because you said you're sore." If it had been in his nature to say it, he'd probably have tacked on a "Duh!" at the end of that.
"I said I was a bit sore," Naruto reminded him and now it was his turn to roll his eyes. "Doesn't mean I don't want to do it again."
He did feel relieved that Sasuke's refusal to have sex again had to do with him worrying about Naruto's soreness instead of the Alpha just not being into it. He should have guessed that, though, instead of allowing his insecurities to rise to the surface.
"And I don't want to hurt you. We can do it again later when you're no longer sore."
"Sasuke, I'm an Omega."
"Yeah, I know. What of it?"
"I'm literally built to accept a dick in me," Naruto said deadpan, even if his own words made him blush a little bit. "A little bit of soreness doesn't mean I can't have sex with you again!"
Dark eyes flicked to the ceiling as if asking for patience from a higher being. "Naruto, we can do it again later. It doesn't matter that you're only a little bit sore; even with that little bit, it's best to wait for now. I don't want to make it worse."
"So what, you first start this and then you're not even going to finish it?" Naruto said snippily, glowering at the boy on top of him. What was even the point of him getting excited then? They could have just stuck to kissing in that case!
"Will you listen for once? I never said I wouldn't do anything, I just said I wouldn't go all the way now," Sasuke retorted, sighing.
Befuddled, Naruto drew his eyebrows together. "What do you mean?"
"I mean there are other things we can still do," Sasuke murmured, eyes half lidded, as he dragged a finger down Naruto's chest, pausing right above his lower belly.
"Ah," Naruto said blankly before the position of Sasuke's finger registered. The warmth in his lower belly, which had been simmering until now, suddenly spread out, racing through his veins, alighting every nerve in his body. Licking his lips, he muttered, "Y-Yeah, I'm fine with other things."
A smirk unfurled across the Alpha's face and before Naruto could say anything else, his mouth was captured in a heated kiss, a tongue slipping between his parted lips and touching his own. A low moan left his throat when a hand dipped between them, fingers curling around his cock, stroking up and down firmly. Distracted by the warm hand, it took him a moment to acknowledge that he really should start reciprocating but before he could reach out with his hand, Sasuke pressed a hard kiss on his lips and slid down his body, leaving a trail of hot kisses behind, pausing at intervals to nibble at his skin. He'd probably leave behind even more marks, but Naruto couldn't be particularly bothered by that.
Especially not when Sasuke disappeared underneath the sheets and the next second his dick was engulfed in wet heat. He barely managed to cover his mouth with the back of his hand when he shouted in surprise, back arching, and he whined silently when just as quickly that amazing heat went away.
"I want to hear your voice," Sasuke remarked sharply, appearing genuinely annoyed that Naruto would even think about muffling his noises.
"That sounds so embarrassing, why are you – OH MY GOD!" His hands flew down at the same moment he shot up; clawing at the sheets as Sasuke took him in his mouth again, his tongue sliding around the head teasingly.
As each time before when Sasuke decided to blow him, he was quickly reduced to a blabbing mess, his mind blanking as overwhelming pleasure raced through his body, igniting in his lower belly before spreading out, making his fingertips tingle and the rushing of his blood loud in his ears. All his focus was aimed at the head bobbing up and down between his legs, the way dark strands tickled his inner thighs; hands gripping his hips tightly, keeping them immobile against the mattress. Breathy moans escaped him every time a tongue dipped briefly in his slit, pressing against it, before Sasuke would take more of him inside his mouth, swirling his tongue around the shaft.
He gasped, muttered, "F-fuck, S-Sasuke," when he felt the tip of a finger press against his hole, which by now had definitely become very slick again. Sasuke's finger rubbed along his rim before slipping inside. Still being rather loose from the night before, it didn't take long for the Alpha to add a second finger and at the same time those fingers prodded against Naruto's prostate, Sasuke swallowed around him, forcing an odd strangled noise out of the blond's throat.
His thighs were quivering, his muscles tensing up as he was nearing the peak of his pleasure, and his fingers dug into Sasuke's shoulders, trying to find something to anchor himself and he'd be embarrassed about the continuous moans and groans pouring out of his mouth if he had any brain capacity left to care about it.
His fingers kept sliding in and out of the Omega, teasing his sweet spot every time they slipped inside, and Sasuke lifted his head a bit, his lips reddened and his eyes glittering; his mouth being replaced by his other hand. He waited until Naruto looked down, a shuddering breath hissed between gritted teeth, and then said throatily, "I really want to taste you here," his fingers crooked inside Naruto's channel, "one day."
That fucking did it. The mental image of Sasuke touching him there, of feeling that ridiculously skilled tongue moving inside of him, proved to be too much and Naruto's back arched, his hands slapping over his eyes as he came with a soundless scream, every nerve in his body alight while his legs trembled and tightened around Sasuke's chest. The Alpha kept moving his fingers relentlessly, prolonging the pleasure until it threatened to tip over into pain, and Naruto whined brokenly, shocks going through his system, and he gasped, feeling like his lungs would never get enough air anymore.
Sasuke finally took pity on him and pulled back his fingers, sitting up. Naruto dropped back down on the bed, chest heaving like he'd run a marathon, and when he pried his eyes open, he was met with the Alpha's smug smirk.
"So I take it you're going to take that into consideration?" he remarked innocently; wiping his hand off on the sheets.
"Eugh, fuck you, you bastard," Naruto snorted, still panting a bit, but he'd recovered enough to sit up and push Sasuke down.
"Not before you're healed, remember?"
"Shut up, it's my turn now," Naruto retorted and kissed his boyfriend fiercely, before making his way down his firm chest, enjoying feeling his muscles shifting underneath his lips.
When he flicked his eyes up and saw the dazed look in black eyes, he grinned, knowing that at least this was something Sasuke wouldn't try to be chivalrous about.
Now it was his turn to make Sasuke see stars.
They spent the rest of the day lounging in Naruto's bed – after they'd changed the sheets again and tossed the filthy ones into the washing machine, opting to get them cleaned before Naruto's parents would return home – and venturing downstairs once in the afternoon to watch some television.
They talked about the upcoming school year which would start tomorrow and which would be their last one. Naruto wondered aloud whether Kiba had survived the holiday – he'd seen him last week before he'd gone on a holiday with his parents and sister – or whether Neji had managed to turn his threats into reality.
Sasuke betted Kiba had got his arse kicked at least once before he'd managed to escape Neji's wrath and while Naruto wanted to defend his friend, he couldn't do anything else but agree that that was very likely. Neji was still pissed off that his cousin was dating Kiba and while Naruto wanted to be loyal, even he had to admit that in a fight between Neji and Kiba, Neji would definitely be the superior one.
They ordered pizza for dinner and while they waited for the pizza to arrive, Naruto's mum texted him to announce they were on their way back and would be home in two hours.
"You're sure you can't stay the night?" Naruto wondered, shoving the last bit of pizza in his mouth, the crust crunching loudly between his teeth.
Shrugging on his thin jacket, Sasuke shook his head. "Sorry, I'd love to, but Kakashi said he had something to discuss with me and knowing him, that can take hours." He bent down to capture Naruto's lips in a soft kiss, ignoring the taste of grease. "I'll see you tomorrow, okay? I'll come pick you up at eight."
"Yeah, okay, I'll see you tomorrow," Naruto murmured, returning the kiss. He leant with his shoulder against the doorframe, watching Sasuke walk to his car and get behind the wheel. He waved when the car started and only closed the door when he could no longer see Sasuke's car driving down the street.
Figuring he could use the remaining time he had left before his parents would be home to clean up, he gathered the two empty pizza boxes – he'd been hungry, all right, he was still a growing boy! – and the used napkins to throw them in the trash. He washed off their glasses and left them to dry, wandering back into the living room to catch the last bit of the movie they'd been watching.
The sound of the front door opening five minutes later had him straightening out from his slouched position on the couch.
"Naruto, we're back!" Mum called out and there was some heavy 'thump' noises as their suitcases were dropped on the floor. "Sasuke-kun here too?"
"No, he just left. Kakashi-san wants to talk to him about something," Naruto replied, walking into the hallway straight into mum's arms.
Squeezing him tightly against hers. "Oooh, I missed you so much, sweetheart!" she crooned, pressing several kisses on his face, laughing when he tried to fend her off. When she pulled back, she seemed to freeze for a moment, but the grin was back on her face so quickly, Naruto wondered whether he'd imagined it.
"It's a miracle she didn't decide to leave as soon as we got there," Dad said gravelly, but his eyes twinkled and he snickered when she punched his arm.
Huffing, she crossed her arms. "Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't aware it's a crime to miss my baby boy!" she sneered.
"Mum, I'm turning eighteen this year."
"Of course it's not a crime, honey," Dad soothed her and pecked her nose. "I'm going to put our stuff away and then I'll take a shower, all right? I'm starting to smell of spaghetti sauce." He wrinkled his nose, grabbing the two suitcases. "I'm glad the house is still in one piece, Naruto."
"Hey!"
Chuckling he ascended the stairs; the suitcases occasionally bumping against the wall.
Rolling his eyes Naruto turned back to his mum and stilled when he saw the calculating look on her face. "Mum?"
The smile she gave him didn't really reassure him. "I'd like to talk to you about something. Come on, I'll make some tea."
"Er, okay," he said slowly, trailing after her into the kitchen. He wondered what she wanted to talk about. Their trip perhaps?
Puttering around the kitchen, mum waited for the kettle to boil while she dropped tea bags into two cups, humming absently to herself. Naruto took a seat at the table, supporting his chin with his fist, and smiled at the look of concentration on her face when she filled both mugs. It had only been a weekend, but he was glad that his parents were back home.
"Here you go, sweetheart," Mum smiled, placing the orange mug in front of him. She carried her own mug to her seat, stirring the spoon slowly in the steaming tea.
"You wanted to talk to me?" he prompted when she remained quiet for a while; her eyes staring at something in the distance.
She blinked and nodded; her gaze growing sharp at once. "I'm going to ask you something and I want you to be honest with me, even if you think it's embarrassing, all right, Naruto?"
That didn't particularly put him at ease and he eyed her warily. "All right," he agreed haltingly, unsure whether he would like where this conversation was heading.
She took a deep breath, seemingly to steel herself, and then asked, a blush filling her cheeks, "Did you and Sasuke-kun have sex this weekend?"
He promptly turned red. "Ma! What kind of question is that!" he squawked, not at all wanting to answer that question truthfully. Shit, why would she ask something like that? Was it that obvious that he and Sasuke had had sex? Was there something on his face that screamed "I'm no longer a virgin!"?!
While he was freaking out internally, she gave him a patient look. "Honey, I told you before: I'm not going to be angry about you and Sasuke-kun having sex. I just need to know the truth, please. It's important."
Staring down at the table, fearing his cheeks would be permanently stained red after this, he nodded almost imperceptibly and mumbled, "Y-yeah, I, er, I slept with Sasuke." Scratching at a ridge in the table, he added, "How did you know?"
"Well, er, it's kind of hard not to notice," she said and coughed, clearing her throat. When her son just stared blankly at her, she tacked on, "Your scent, hon. I can barely distinguish it from Sasuke-kun's, so it wasn't hard to guess …"
"You can smell that I had sex?" he squeaked horrified and raised his arm to sniff himself. Sure, he could smell Sasuke on him, but he didn't think there was much difference to how he'd smelt before they'd slept together.
"Only the first couple of times," she reassured him; her own face steadily reddening. "It's just because the change in your scent is really noticeable at the beginning, but after that there won't be any difference whether you have sex with him or not."
"God, does that mean my other friends will know?" he groaned and thumped his head on the table. Guess he would be fielding off questions come tomorrow.
"Most likely, yeah," she replied and was silent for so long, Naruto looked up.
"What?" he asked when he noticed the look of hesitation on her face.
"It's just – there is one more thing I want to talk to you about, but before that," she paused and licked her lips before shouldering on, "I just want to know one thing for sure: you didn't feel pressured to sleep with him, right?"
"Of course not!" He shot up from his slumped position, outraged on Sasuke's behalf. "Sasuke would never force me to do anything I didn't want, you know that, ma! Hell, he kept asking me whether I was sure the entire time!" he ranted, holding himself back just in time before he blurted out that Sasuke wouldn't even have sex with him this morning, just because Naruto had told him he was still a bit sore.
Did that sound like a guy who'd pressure someone?
She held up her hand placatingly. "I know, Naruto, but I just wanted to be completely sure, okay? I know Sasuke-kun isn't like that, but I was just a bit worried," she admitted, sighing softly. "Now that we got that out of the way, though, there's one last thing I want to discuss with you."
"What's that?" he asked suspiciously and crossed his arms.
She pursed her lips for a moment as she gathered her thoughts, looking like she was searching for the right way to address whatever she wanted to discuss. "Naruto, did you know that Sasuke-kun initiated the first part of the Mating process with you?" she asked tentatively; no trace of humour left in her eyes.
"What?" he questioned flatly, not sure where she was going with this. The first part of the Mating process? What part? Didn't you just have to bite each other so that you would carry each other's Mark?
He and Sasuke might have been enthusiastic with their mouths this weekend, but he'd known it if the Alpha had bitten him with that particular intent.
"Do you know there's a part before the Bite that creates the Mark?" Mum inquired, folding her hands on top of the table.
"No, what do you do during that part?" he asked confused, even as his heart started to beat a little bit faster.
"Well, in this case you don't do much, because the intent comes from your partner," she said slowly, tracing mindless shapes on the table with her left index finger. "I said that I knew you'd slept together because of your mixed scent, right?"
He nodded, still embarrassed that his mum had caught on to that fact, even when they'd been diligent enough to clean the evidence.
"Well, the thing is … There's a gradation, you could say, in how mixed up your scents become when you sleep together. Just having sex on its own will change your scent only a bit, but Naruto, you smell like you took a bath in his scent," she said bluntly and a choked noise escaped the blond. "And the only reason why you would smell so much like him, is because he took the first step in the Mating process."
"But what is the first step? Sasuke didn't tell me anything about this." Surely if Sasuke wanted to officially mate with him, he'd have told Naruto before they had sex? Never mind that even, weren't they still a bit too young to think about Mating? They weren't even eighteen yet; not to mention they hadn't been together for a year either.
"If Sasuke-kun is anything like Minato in that regard, it wouldn't surprise me if he took the step subconsciously," she answered, somewhat amused. "It's hard to explain, but the first step is basically a way to ensure that nobody else tries to hit on you. The both of you smelling so much like each other is sort of like a warning sign to the rest of the world that you belong to each other and not to someone else."
She took a deep breath. "In order to initiate the first step, there has to be serious intent. I know this is rather embarrassing, but simply put, when Sasuke-kun had sex with you, there was at least a part in him that wanted to claim you completely. The intent behind this desire caused your scents to fuse together more intensely."
"Oh." Naruto wasn't sure how to react to that. So Sasuke had wanted to claim him completely and that was why their scents had become nearly indistinguishable? Did that mean Sasuke wanted to mate with him officially, give him the Mark? But weren't they still too young for that?
Honestly he hadn't even thought about what exactly the future would hold for them. They'd graduate, attend a college or a university, find a job … He hadn't given it much thought yet, but he'd just assumed Sasuke would be there every step of the way – he just hadn't considered that might mean Sasuke actually wanting to Mark him.
Now that he'd apparently initiated the first part of the Mating, did this mean they were working with a deadline now? Did they have to give each other the Bite soon? He wasn't sure whether he was ready for that yet. He liked Sasuke, yes, no doubt about that, but the idea of carrying his Mark seemed rather daunting at the moment.
Did that make him a bad boyfriend?
"Look, you don't need to worry too much about this, all right?" Mum said soothingly, pricking straight through his thoughts. "Just because Sasuke-kun initiated the first step doesn't mean you're obligated to give each other the Bite. Either it'll happen or it won't; that's up to you two. I just figured you wanted to know this in case someone else asks you about it."
"Okay." He hesitated. "Thanks, mum."
"No problem. If you have any questions, you know you can talk to me." She stood up and a smirk flitted across her lips when she pointed at his neck. "I guess others won't really need to smell your scent, though, given the hickey Sasuke-kun gave you." She winked and laughed when Naruto slapped a hand across his neck, blushing furiously.
"Ma!"
"Hey, no need to be ashamed! It's perfectly natural for you two to want to - "
"Ma, no!"
Naruto thought about asking Sasuke about the whole initiating the first part, but in the end he decided against it. Sasuke didn't seem to be in a stellar mood when he picked him up on Monday morning, mumbling that Kakashi had wanted to talk to him about something related to his parents' inheritance.
Given how the subject of his family still tended to be rather sensitive at times, Naruto didn't badger him and figured he would talk to Sasuke about the Mating process another time.
They had more important stuff to deal with once they arrived at school anyway. Kiba was the first one to greet them – sans any visible injuries – and he literally blanched and stopped a few feet away from them.
"You two hooked up?" he exclaimed flabbergasted and several students nearby turned their heads.
"Would you keep your voice down!" Naruto hissed and punched his arm. "And we didn't hook up, we've been together since Christmas, you idiot!"
Next to him Sasuke snorted, but for once kept his own insults to himself.
"Wait, since Christmas?" Kiba's eyes widened. "Why didn't you say anything?"
The Omega shrugged and rubbed the back of his neck. "I thought you'd notice it on your own; didn't seem really necessary to shout it from the rooftops."
The Beta squinted. "How the hell was I supposed to notice that? You two have been smelling like each other for months – although now the smell is a lot worse." He wrinkled his nose. "What did you do, roll all over each other?"
"One way of describing it," Sasuke muttered underneath his breath, smirking slightly when Naruto elbowed his side.
"Just because you're as slow as a snail, doesn't mean nobody else noticed them being together," Shikamaru piped up, making his way leisurely towards them with his hands stuffed into his pockets. "Good to see you again, Naruto. Uchiha."
"You knew?" Naruto asked surprised. Shikamaru had never once given an inkling that he knew he and Sasuke were together.
The other boy shrugged. "I had some strong suspicions, yeah. How was your break?"
They all ignored Kiba spluttering and whining that he wasn't slow when they made their way to their new classroom, talking and laughing.
It had taken them months, but the girls in their class – and ones in other classes too – finally seemed to have realised that their beloved 'Sasuke-kun' was no longer single. Mum hadn't exaggerated about their scents being mixed together heavily, because it only took an hour before news spread throughout the school that Uchiha Sasuke was dating the new kid Uzumaki Naruto – although how 'new' he could still be after having attended this school for a year already was beyond his comprehension.
He didn't think much of it at first. Sure, he'd realised that as soon as the news broke out that he was with Sasuke, a lot of people wouldn't be happy about it, but he hadn't really considered what kind of consequences that would lead to.
It started with the glares, the eyes that shot venomous looks at him whenever he passed by a group of girls. It made him a bit nervous to see the anger and jealousy so openly displayed on their faces – why were they even angry? They'd had their chance and they'd blown it – but he told himself not to worry too much about it. What could they even do aside from trying to glare him to death?
Friday had him staying home because he had his heat and Sasuke stayed away from the house, not wanting to risk being overwhelmed again. It made Naruto decide that they really, really needed to have a conversation about spending his heat together, because if he'd had to go through one more heat without his boyfriend, he was going to explode.
Needless to say he was quite frustrated when he went back to school on Monday. That was when the whispers started and he realised for the first time just how vicious people could be, even towards others who'd never done them any harm.
"Did you hear why Uzumaki transferred to this school?"
"No, why? Did he get into a fight? Oh, was he suspended?"
"No, none of that. Apparently he was quite 'popular' there if you get what I mean." A mean giggle. "Went through several guys in his class before he latched on to one of the teachers there and when word got out about that, they needed to move."
"I heard he fucked ten guys at his previous school! Can't imagine how loose he must be now!"
"How can Sasuke-kun even sleep with him? Reckon he doesn't know what kind of slut he's fucking?"
"He probably doesn't. Want to bet he lied and said he was a virgin still?"
"If that guy was still a virgin when he slept with Sasuke-kun, I'm the queen of England!" More honing laughter.
"God, I hope for Sasuke-kun that that whore won't give him any diseases. Imagine!"
"I heard he got pregnant from one of the guys he fucked at his previous school and got an abortion! Maybe he's thinking of trapping Sasuke-kun like that!"
On and on it went; the vicious whispers following him wherever he went in the school. They were smart enough to keep their mouths shut when Sasuke was nearby, but when Naruto was alone he was a free target for them.
It made both his blood boil and made him want to weep from frustration. What the hell had he ever done to them that they were spreading such malicious lies about him? He was together with Sasuke, so fucking what? They'd had their chance for years and they either didn't grab it or were rejected – how the fuck was that his fault?
Why the hell couldn't they just leave him alone?
"Maybe you should talk to Uchiha about it," Shikamaru murmured, watching how a small group of girls walked past them, giggling and pointing at Naruto.
While Sasuke might not have picked up on the rumours setting the school abuzz – he'd never cared for them before and wasn't about to start listening to them now, which was the only thing Naruto had going for him now – Shikamaru and Kiba definitely had. It was difficult not to hear the whispers when even their own classmates Yamanaka and Haruno joined in the fray and gossiped shamelessly about Naruto while he was standing close to them. Kiba had lashed out more than once already, shutting up the gossiping girls, but his actions didn't have long lasting results unfortunately.
"That will only make him pissed off," Naruto refused, grinding his teeth together and quickening his pace to reach the gym. "It's just gossip; I can handle it."
"Naruto, you shouldn't have to. We can go together to the teacher if you want me to," Shikamaru insisted, scowling at another girl who nudged her friend's shoulder when Naruto passed them.
"Look, I appreciate you wanting to help me, but it's fine, Shikamaru." Naruto forced a smile on his face. "They're just jealous because Sasuke was never interested in them. If I don't react, they'll get bored eventually. All they have is gossip and if they want to be pathetic losers and talk shit about me, that's on them."
Shikamaru frowned and released his breath slowly. "Fine, but if they're still gossiping about you in a few weeks, you really should tell someone about it. Let Uchiha go off on them, that'll shut them up quickly."
"I will, I promise. Let's just get ready for gym, all right? I don't want to keep talking about this," Naruto muttered, swinging open the door of the locker room.
Black eyes met his instantly and he relaxed, making his way to Sasuke, who'd kept the locker next to his free for the blond. They shared a quick kiss before Naruto set about changing into his gym clothes.
Let those bitches talk out of their arses. In the end he still had Sasuke – something they could only dream of.
A week later Kiba, Hinata and Shikamaru helped Naruto tear down several flyers in the bathrooms which had Naruto's home phone number printed on them with the message: "If you're looking for some fun, call Uzumaki! Just make sure to wear a condom just in case! 😉"
Shikamaru started cautiously, crumpling the flyers together, "Naruto, don't you think it's time you - "
"No, okay!" he snapped, ripping off the last one, ignoring the sheen of tears which made his eyesight blurry. "This is just stupid bullshit! There's no need to worry my parents or Sasuke with this!"
"Shikamaru is right, you know," Kiba said, uncharacteristically subdued. "This is going beyond gossip now. They can't do shit like this, Naruto. They need to be - "
"I said no!" His voice rebounded through the small bathroom, bouncing back from the tiles, and he stood there trembling; his hands balled into fists and feeling like he would break down any second now.
"All right, I'll get rid of these papers," Kiba said softly, prying the crumpled paper out of Naruto's hand. "Hinata-chan, you're going to help me?"
Worrying her lip between her teeth, she nodded and after a quick hug and a hesitant kiss on Naruto's cheek, she followed her boyfriend out of the bathroom.
"This can't go on, Naruto," Shikamaru said quietly, solemnly. He was leaning against the sink, his arms crossed, and his dark eyes sparking with anger on his friend's behalf. "They're going too far now. Something needs to be done."
"I can handle it," Naruto said stubbornly, wiping the back of his hand angrily across his eyes.
"One more week and if they keep this up, I'm going to the headmaster myself," Shikamaru warned him, straightening up. "I'm not going to let them harass you any longer. And either you tell Uchiha about this soon or I will."
He left swiftly, leaving Naruto behind in the middle of the bathroom.
Wondering how things had gone wrong so quickly when all he'd wanted was to finish his last year in peace.
He splashed some cold water in his face, hoping futile it would counter his reddened eyes somewhat, and walked out of the bathroom.
Straight into Sasuke's chest.
"Oh, Sasuke!" He took a step back, startled. "Weren't you discussing something with Umino-sensei?"
"He just needed to talk to me about the test I took." Sasuke shrugged before his eyes sharpened. "What's wrong? You look like you've been crying. Did someone hurt you?"
Chuckling weakly, Naruto shook his head. "No, don't worry about it. Just not feeling well right now. I think lunch did a real number on my stomach."
"I told you that meat looked weird," Sasuke scolded him before worry crept into his voice. "You want me to bring you home? I'm sure our teachers will understand."
"Nah, I'll be fine. Just two more hours anyway," Naruto retorted lightly, and couldn't help but smile when Sasuke took his hand. "You coming over to my place after school?"
"Of course." The look on Sasuke's face that said 'Are you stupid? Where else would I go?' had Naruto's smile broadening just a tad and he squeezed the Alpha's fingers.
He'd be fine as long as he had Sasuke.
On Thursday mum and dad hugged him goodbye in the morning. Naruto's class would spend five days in a hostel near the mountains. The trip was considered to be a way to bond with each other for the last time, as their paths would separate once they graduated.
To be honest, Naruto had actually considered faking being ill so that he could stay home and avoid spending five full days with the girls who were making his life a hell at school. However, he didn't want to make Sasuke or his parents suspicious – especially his parents, because they knew he barely got ill – and most importantly: he didn't want to give those bitches the satisfaction of driving him away from a class trip. They were the ones in the wrong, not him, and he wasn't about to back down.
Still, it was with quite some apprehension that he stepped onto the bus and he took advantage of the couple of hours they had ahead of them to snuggle into Sasuke's shoulder and catch a bit more sleep.
If sleeping also allowed him to ignore the glares some girls threw him, well, that was neither here or there.
"How bad can your aim be, Kiba?" Naruto laughed in disbelief, watching the ball sail over his head, straight into the forest.
It was day two of the trip and while their teachers were setting up a room for the next activity, some guys had decided to play football to pass the time. Their hostel bordered the woods surrounding the mountains, and they'd gone to the clearing closest to the building, figuring that one would be large enough to play a decent game.
Trust Kiba to suck at aiming.
"I slipped on the grass!" Kiba huffed, while some of the other guys snickered. "I'll go - "
"Guys! Come on, it's time for the next activity!" Umino-sensei hollered, waving at them.
"I'll go grab the ball, I'm closest," Naruto said, stretching his arms.
"You sure, man?" Kiba furrowed his eyebrows.
The blond waved his hand. "Yeah, yeah, I'll be right behind you."
"All right, I'll let Umino know," Kiba promised and jogged away, following the other guys.
"No more football for Kiba," Naruto muttered, trudging through the bushes. He hoped Sasuke would save him a seat for whatever activity they had to do next.
The noise of the guys talking died out, leaving only the rustling wind and the chirping birds behind. It was a rather nice day with the sun having forced itself through the clouds and he thought it was a shame they had to spend it inside. Why couldn't they have one of those bonding exercises outside?
"Where the hell did he kick that ball?" he mumbled annoyed when he couldn't immediately spot the white black checkered ball. How far did Kiba even kick the ball? It couldn't have been that far, surely?
Something white flashed in the corner of his eye and he whipped his head in that direction, a triumphant noise escaping him when he saw the ball wedged deeply into a large bush. Making his way over to it, he couldn't help but glance warily at the way the ground sloped dangerously low to the right of the bush. He hadn't realised they'd been playing on a hill and he wasn't particularly in the mood to find out just how high they were up, so he'd have to be really careful when plucking the ball from between the thorny grasps of the bush.
"Come on." He tugged at the ball, trying to avoid the thorns as much as possible, and held it close against his chest when the branches finally gave it up. Taking a few steps away from the bush, glowering when some of the thorns snagged at his jeans, he turned around to make his way back to the hostel.
Something – was that a fucking rock, holy shit! – sailed past right in front of his face and he shouted in surprise, losing his balance.
For a couple of seconds – ones which felt both too long and too short – he experienced the sensation of weightlessness, of gravity temporarily abandoning him. Then he tipped backwards and he only had one second to realise that he really shouldn't be able to look up at the sky like this before the air was slammed straight out of his chest when he smacked against the ground.
"FUCK!" He grappled at a tree root sticking up out of the ground, but it was too late. The ball flew out of his hands and he rolled down the hill at a frightening speed, grunting in pain every time his body made rough impact with the ground. His attempts to anchor himself, to grab something to slow his fall, were thwarted by gravity and he couldn't get enough air inside his lungs to scream.
The world spun around him, sky and earth switching each other off at a speed that made him nauseous, and then his head cracked against something hard, pain exploding instantly.
Everything turned dark.
AN2: *shrugs* Just going where the story leads me, guys. I've basically handed over all control to this story (which explains why they were so horny at the start *coughs* )
Please leave your thoughts behind in a review; should you spot any mistakes, please point them out to me.
I hope to see you all back in the next chapter!
