Chapter 9 Sasuke’s POV Sasuke waited impatiently for his teammates to arrive. The lobby of the hotel was starting to get crowded as travelers were checking in or heading out to attend the festival and so many people in one place were… annoying. He didn’t like the interested looks he was getting from several others in the room who were obviously wondering if he was alone. With a feeling of relief he quickly looked towards the stairs where he’d heard his dobe’s voice. With a bounce in his step, Naruto appeared. Sasuke felt himself begin to relax until he saw that Naruto was looking at Sai and talking a mile a minute. Why couldn’t Sai just disappear? Take a nap? Drop dead? Sasuke didn’t like to think of the years Sai had been partnered with Naruto. Actually he wished he could just erase those memories as if they had never existed. He wanted to be the only one Naruto thought of when he remembered past missions. Having so many memories that did not include him was extremely annoying. And watching them arrive together just made him want to shove Sai aside and step between the two. Watching them approach, Sasuke felt slightly mollified by the way Naruto’s blue eyes lit up when he saw him. ‘Yeah, bet you can’t make his eyes do that,’ Sasuke thought smugly to himself. With a smirk crossing his face, Sasuke nodded a greeting. “Sasuke!” Naruto called too loudly across the room. “Hn,” Sasuke responded. “Me and Sai were talking about going to eat at that ramen stand we passed on the way in.” “Seriously Dobe? It’s a festival… there must be something better than ramen.” “What!? There’s nothing better than ramen! But they might serve something else too Teme. Besides, we have all day to try out everything else from the other food vendors. I want to try it all!” Naruto stated, still bouncing in excitement. ‘Yeah, I want to try it all too’ Sasuke thought, while his eyes flicked down over Naruto. But for Naruto all he gave was an un-communicative, “hn.” Taking that as consent, Naruto grabbed Sasuke’s arm and began dragging him out of the hotel. Sai followed at a more dignified pace. ‘What am I? A dog?’ Sasuke wondered as Naruto continued pulling him away from the hotel. He didn’t really like being pulled along but Naruto’s hand did feel nice and warm on his arm so he didn’t bother pulling away. As they came to the main street through the town, Sasuke felt Naruto’s grip loosen and slide down towards his wrist. It felt like a gentle caress down his arm and Sasuke gave a surprised shudder as he felt Naruto’s fingers glide over his knuckles and his thumb graze over the palm of his hand before releasing him altogether. Sasuke looked sharply at Naruto. ‘Was that on purpose? It’s like he was almost going to hold my hand.’ But Naruto wasn’t looking at him. Once again he was looking back at Sai telling him to hurry up. ‘Sai again.’ Shooting Sai a dirty look, Sasuke continued walking beside the Blonde as he chattered about the shops he planned to return to after they had eaten lunch. He decided to ignore the wide eyed ‘what did I do?’ look that Sai gave him. He really was too annoying for words. Upon entering the ramen shop, the three sat down at the counter. Sasuke was pleased to see that ramen was just one of many items available on the menu. After ordering a tomato sandwich and tea, he settled his attention back on Naruto. While keeping up with the conversation and responding when necessary, he still was able to give attention to his personal thoughts. Sasuke realized that once again he had that ‘full and warm’ feeling. Like all was right in the world and he was living in a luxury of peacefulness. He suddenly felt a sharp pang of gratefulness. He was so lucky to be sitting there with the person he valued over everything. It was real. His life with Naruto beside him was real. He could enjoy their time together, make plans for the future, do everything in his power to make Naruto as happy as he deserved to be. And as unbelievable as it was, Naruto was happiest when Sasuke was with him. Sasuke knew that to be true. He had watched Naruto enjoying his time hanging out with his friends. But it wasn’t like when he was together with him. At those times Naruto practically glowed. After the total hash he had made of his life and the numerous screw ups and downright detestable actions, Sasuke felt amazed that he had been given another chance. He would thank the gods for the rest of his life that he had the opportunity to make Naruto happy. ‘Naruto is mine.’ Sasuke thought possessively. ‘The dobe has been claiming for years that I belong with him and whether he realizes it or not, no one else came close to being as important.’ Sasuke felt an intense feeling of regret as he looked at Naruto. ‘Why did it take me so long to do the same?’ Sasuke was startled from his thoughts by an arm thrown around his shoulders. Naruto leaned heavily against Sasuke’s shoulder as he pointed out the window with his other arm, crossing in front of Sasuke’s chest. As he looked at Naruto’s face, inches from his own, Sasuke realized that he had gotten lost in his thoughts. As Naruto pointed at where he wanted to go next, Sasuke saw him flick a look of concern at him. ‘He knows. Other people may not be able to read my expressions… but Naruto just knows.’ Sasuke refocused on how Naruto’s position was practically an embrace. Though it was obviously meant to comfort and distract Sasuke from his thoughts, he couldn’t help where his mind suddenly went. Sliding his tongue over his bottom lip, Sasuke gave a small smile as his eyes rested on Naruto’s mouth. Naruto suddenly stopped talking and inhaled a quick gasp of air. Sasuke felt Naruto’s arm tighten around his shoulders as his eyes avidly watched Sasuke’s expression. ‘Ah good… his mind went there too.’ As Naruto’s body seemed to be frozen in place, Sasuke let his eyes travel over each of his features. Deciding that he just couldn’t resist the temptation, Sasuke drawled in a lazy voice, “well, when you’ve finished hugging me, we can go on out to check out the festival.” Naruto jerked back into his seat and looked away, a slight tinge of pink showing up on his face. “Bastard, that wasn’t a hug. I was just showing you where I want to go next!” Naruto defended. “Hn,” Sasuke responded, as he stood before paying for his meal. As the three walked out of the restaurant, Sasuke smirking and Naruto protesting, Sai realized that once again there had been more to the conversation than what appeared on the surface. *** For the rest of the afternoon, they wandered around the festival trying out all the different games and different foods. Well, Naruto tried them all out and Sai and Sasuke tried some out. After leaving the restaurant, Sasuke began to see a pattern in Naruto’s behavior. At every booth or shop they looked at, Naruto made a point of touching him in some way. Sometimes his shoulder, his arm, the back of his hand, and one time even his leg as they were sitting down and eating some ice cream. At first Sasuke thought that maybe he didn’t realize he was doing it. He was pleased to think that Naruto just couldn’t help but want to touch him and he enjoyed the fleeting touches. But after several hours of this, Sasuke had long since realized that Naruto was touching him on purpose and apparently his goal was to drive Sasuke crazy. When he’d first realized that Naruto’s touches were deliberate, Sasuke had wanted to push him against a wall and kiss him till he was breathless for teasing him. But as much as that thought appealed to him, he did NOT want his first time really kissing an alert Naruto to be in front of Sai. Naruto’s sounds of pleasure were going to be for him and him alone. But two could play this game. Sasuke smirked as he thought about the last hour. He had been making things difficult for Naruto. As much effort as Naruto put into touching Sasuke, Sasuke was putting in the same amount of effort into NOT letting Naruto touch him. Naruto had become more and more obvious and creative in his chase after Sasuke. It had become a competition. Sasuke had to work really hard not to laugh as he once again slipped away from Naruto with the excuse of looking at a different tray of silver jewelry and ornaments. He felt a hard tug on the back of his head as Naruto pulled on a lock of his hair and demanded his attention. “Teme, what’s wrong with you? I was trying to show you something!” Sasuke smirked and looked directly at Naruto. There was no doubt in his mind that Naruto would belong to him.
