One Night

Author's Note: This is a Yaoi story. That means there will be at least one male x male romantic pairing. If that bothers you, you might want to turn back now. For those of you still here, I hope you enjoy this story and reviews are always appreciated.

Chapter Notation: Samehada was the name of Kisame's sword. So I decided that would make a good name for a restaurant. There are flashbacks that are citrus flavored, but I didn't feel they merited a warning. Oh and please drink responsibly.

Chapter 1

It was really funny how one night could change your entire life. Monday morning, everything was normal. Sasuke had a loving family, a great job, and an amazing best friend. Everything had been going perfectly. Well except his love life, but you can't have everything.

Monday evening, he had gone to Naruto's 25th birthday party. Really, it had all started out very innocent. They had gone out to the blonde's favorite nightclub. Great drinks, music, friends, and there were lots of gorgeous singles in the place looking for an easy hookup. That's when things got out control.

"Come on bastard, dance with me. The girls will love it." Naruto said.

Sasuke raised an eyebrow at his best friend. Every once in awhile, he would try something like this. Homosexuality was now going mainstream. There were certainly men who found the idea of two women being together erotic. Apparently, the reverse was also true. The blue eyed lawyer was only too happy to indulge women that fell into this camp.

"You're really going to try this, aren't you? Just how much have you had to drink?" Sasuke asked in amusement.

"Hmm let's see. Three shots of vodka, some fruity drink that I can't pronounce, and a couple beers." Naruto informed him.

Sasuke blinked. Naruto had a legendary liver. He knew that there were people who had a high tolerance for alcohol, but the blonde took it to a completely different level. How was he still sober enough to remember all that?

"You're completely intoxicated. Though I suppose since you can remember all that, you might be sober enough not to step on my toes or vomit all over me. Alright. Fine. One dance." Sasuke muttered as he took Naruto's hand and led him off to the dance floor.

"That's the spirit!" Naruto said cheerfully as Sasuke shook his head and wrapped his arms around the handsome blonde's neck.

Naruto was bisexual. Sasuke was gay. They had both known that since they were in middle school. It had never been an issue in their friendship. Occasionally, the blonde would ask Sasuke to do something like this to attract women or sometimes other men. (It disturbed Sasuke to admit this, but it always achieved the desired result.)

"You are such a loser, but I suppose it is your birthday. So I have to be nice to you." Sasuke said with a smirk.

"Awe you are such a sweet talker." Naruto said and as "punishment" he grabs Sasuke's ass and grinds rather suggestively against his friend.

Somehow one dance turned into two, which turned into four. Naruto got Sasuke a few drinks between all the dancing and by the end of the night, both of them were rather drunk to put it mildly.

Naruto called them a cab and they ended up at Naruto's place. Sasuke stumbled once they got into the door. He had a fairly high alcoholic tolerance, but nowhere near Naruto's. Luckily, the blonde caught him.

"Is that your way of saying you are falling for me?" Naruto taunted him.

"You wish." Sasuke replied with a smirk.

It wasn't as if they hadn't had similar conversations at least a hundred times before. Still Sasuke saw something in Naruto's azure orbs that he had never seen before. Desire.

"You're right. I do. Fuck, you're beautiful." He said and before Sasuke could reply to that, he had captured his best friend's lips in a heated kiss.

It didn't take long after that for the clothes to come off. The rest of the night had passed in a blur of complete ecstasy. Sasuke had always enjoyed sex, but it had never been like THAT before. It had never been an all consuming passion.

A blur of tangled limbs. Heated kisses. Desperate moans and the sounds of sun kissed skin against ivory pale skin were forever etched in his mind. God help him, he had never seen anything more erotic than when Naruto came.

Yes, Monday night had been incredible. Now it was Tuesday morning though. Sasuke was so fucked and not in a good way this time.

"I guess I should at least leave a note. I have to be at work in an hour and I can't wait for him to wake up. Besides, it will give me some time to think about what I want to say." He mutters.

He didn't have any idea what he was going to say to the blonde that was currently still slumbering in his bed. It was as if he didn't have a care in the world. Naruto was the picture of contentment at the moment.

Sasuke quickly finds a piece of paper and a pen. He pauses as he considers what to write. He decides to stick with something simple.

Naruto,

I woke up before you. I had to leave for work. You were still asleep. I didn't want to wake you up. I'll see you later.

Sasuke.

It would have to do for now. He quickly showered and changed into fresh clothes. The youngest Uchiha then darted off to work before Naruto could wake up.

A short while later, Naruto wakes up. He stretches and yawns, enjoying how wonderfully satisfied his body felt. That's when his sleepy mind started to question why he was feeling so satisfied and opened his eyes. Immediately, it all came rushing back to him.

"Oh God, I slept with Sasuke!" He whispers to himself.

He had just had sex with his best friend. Really, fucking fantastic sex. The kind of sex that would make even Pervy Sage blush.

Naruto begins to panic and immediately looks around for Sasuke. He wasn't sure what he was going to say. The blonde just knew that he had to say something to him. Finally, he notices the note and reads.

"He went to work." The blue eyed lawyer notes with a frown.

Well at least Sasuke had been considerate enough to leave him a note. Now he knew that his best friend hadn't just run off to avoid facing the morning after. Still Naruto didn't know what he was going to do about this. His alarm clock decided to help him though, by buzzing.

"Shit. I have to get ready for work." He growls as he quickly rushes to the shower.

Naruto knew that he couldn't show up to work with the scent of sex still clinging to his body. So a shower was mandatory. He blinks as he looks down at himself. Sasuke definitely was a possessive bastard. He had love bites all over him. Thank God his suit had a high collar.

He finishes washing off and dresses in a hurry. The blonde was out the door not even five minutes later. If he was fast, he might avoid the worst of the inevitable morning traffic.

"Oh man, what am I even going to say to him?" Naruto asks about fifteen minutes later, when he arrives the Sharingan Law Firm.

Sasuke's family had been practicing law for as long as any of them could remember. They owned one of the largest and most prestigious law firms in the country. (Hell, it was one of the largest and most prestigious law firms in the world actually).

When Sasuke had realized that Naruto had also decided to go to Law School, he promised that he'd talk to his parents about getting him a position there. Obviously, he had kept his word because now they were colleagues.

"What are you going to say to who?" Naruto hears a familiar raspy voice ask.

"Oh hey, Gaara!" He says excitedly and rushes over to his friend.

Gaara worked at Suna. Suna was another Law Firm. Sometimes Sharingan and Suna lawyers would work together on cases. He was also the head of that firm.

It was damn impressive really. The red head wasn't even 30 and already owned his own law firm. Surely, he was well on the path to world domination.

"Good morning, Naruto. I'm surprised that you came in today. I was at your party last night. I see to recall you drinking enough to put even Tsunade under the table. But tell me what is troubling you. You look rather…worried about something." He says.

"It's a long story." Naruto sighs.

"The Uchiha looked a bit twitchy this morning too. Did you two have a fight?" Gaara asks with a raised eyebrow.

"Um not exactly. It was kinda the opposite really." Naruto says as he drags the defense lawyer into his office.

It was at this point that Gaara's interest was certainly peaked. He wondered what could be so scandalous that Naruto wouldn't talk about it in the parking lot. He gestures for his friend to continue.

"What happened?" He demands.

"Well Sasuke was at my party. We both had a lot to drink. I asked him to dance. You know that sometimes we dance together." The environmental lawyer says.

Gaara nods. Yes, he was familiar with Naruto's antics. So was Sasuke. He still wasn't certain what this had to do with a twitchy Sasuke and a nervous Naruto though.

"Yes, I'm aware of that. Then what happened?" He presses him.

"Well we went home. One thing led to another. We ended up sleeping together. When I woke up in the morning, I saw he left me a note saying he had gone to work. So I don't know where we stand." The blonde admits in a rush.

Well Gaara should have seen that one coming. It was obvious that Sasuke and Naruto were too close for it to be platonic. Really, he was positive the only reason why it hadn't happened sooner was that they had grown up together. They might as well have been brothers. That was how long they had known each other.

"So you don't know if he regrets it or not. How do you feel about it? It would be a good idea to decide that before you try to speak to him." The other lawyer suggests.

"Yeah. I have no idea how he feels about what happened and I don't know. I mean the sex was amazing, but he's Sasuke. You know? He's the guy that I've been friends with since I was a baby. I don't know if I want to risk our friendship by going shooting for more." Naruto says as he tugs at his hair in frustration.

The defense attorney shook his head. It really wasn't like Naruto to be skittish. Then again, this was a friendship that had lasted over two decades. The blonde had a reason to be.

"Let's play pretend. Assume for a moment that Sasuke indicated that he would be interested in further exploring a romantic relationship with you, what would your response be?" The other man inquires.

Naruto blinks as he ponders that. Honestly, he hadn't thought about that possibility. He was worried that Sasuke might deck him for taking advantage of him while he was intoxicated or would want to pretend it didn't happen. He didn't know which would be worse.

"I don't know. I mean like I said, it was incredible, but it's a really big risk…" Naruto trails off.

"Yes, Naruto. I do believe that we have established that physically the two of you are compatible. That doesn't answer my question though." Gaara insists.

An image flashed across Naruto's mind. He had pushed Sasuke against the wall. He creamy ivory skin looked even more beautiful when illuminated by the moonlight streaking through the window of his room. His eyes were ruby red with desire and his normally perfect raven black hair was a complete mess, but for some reason Naruto just found that even more hot than usual.

"I mean if he was willing to try, I would want to. I never thought about him that way. Well at least not consciously. I always just filed him under the category of brother. Sasuke never seemed into me like that. He always treated me like he would Itachi." The blue eyed lawyer answers.

"Alright, then that's what you should tell him." His friend counsels him.

Naruto frowns. Well that all sounded nice in theory, but that was assuming a lot. There was no way to tell if Sasuke felt the same way. What if Naruto told Sasuke that he wanted to be with him and the other man friend zoned him? Would he be able to deal with that?

"I don't know." He mutters.

"Naruto, I've known you for years. You've never been afraid of anything. There's no reason to be afraid of Sasuke. Besides, you might want to make a move fast. Men like Sasuke don't stay single for long." The red head warns him.

The blonde frowns. That was true. Honestly, he wasn't really sure why Sasuke was single at the moment. He had broken up with Neji about six months ago. It hadn't even been a bad break up. So he was at a loss for why his friend was being so cautious about reentering the dating scene.

Naruto would be lying, if he said that he hadn't been shocked by them calling it quits. Sasuke and Neji had been dating for a year. On paper, they were perfect together. Both were intelligent and ambitious, young professionals. They had similar hobbies and temperaments. He'd never seen two people who were more compatible, but it had ended just like that.

"Yeah. I know. I just don't really know how to approach him about all this." He says with a sigh.

"The direct approach would likely be best. It is Sasuke, after all." Gaara reminds him.

The environmental lawyer nods. Yeah. That was true. Sasuke had never really been one to beat around the bush in any other aspect of his life, why would his love life be any different?

"Good point. I'm going to go see if he wants to grab lunch later." Naruto says and the red head nods approvingly.

A few hours later, Naruto knocks on the door of Sasuke's office. The raven haired lawyer soon answers. He pauses when he sees it was Naruto.

"Naruto, about last night…" He says.

"Yeah. Do you want to grab lunch with me and go somewhere that we can talk about it?" Naruto asks.

Sasuke wasn't sure that was a good idea. The youngest Uchiha had no idea what he was going to say to Naruto about everything. Still they had been friends since they were babies. He at the very least owed him the chance to talk about what was going on between them. (If anything.)

"Yeah. Let me guess the Ramen Shop?" He taunts him.

Naruto could eat his weight in ramen. Honestly, Sasuke had no idea where he put it all. The man practically inhaled the cheap noodles. (Sasuke failed to see the fascination, but whatever.)

"Nah. I know that you have been wanting to check out Samehada. Let's go there." He offers.

Samehada was a seafood restaurant that was owned by Kisame and Suigetsu. Suigetsu was one of Sasuke's friends. So Naruto had called about an hour ago and asked if he could have a table. The blonde had said he wanted to surprise Sasuke and Suigetsu had given him the reservation.

That was a damn good thing. Usually it took weeks to get into Samehada. Say what you will about Kisame and Suigetsu, they sure knew their seafood. The place was really popular and a bit on the pricey side, but almost everyone thought it was worth it.

"That sounds great, but I thought you wanted to have lunch today. They are usually booked pretty rock solid. You need reservations to get in." Sasuke reminds him.

"Not when you are us. I called Suigetsu. I asked for the favor and have got us the reservations." Naruto says cheerfully.

Sasuke shakes his head in amusement. Leave it to Naruto to find a way to bend the rules. Oh well. He wasn't really in the mood to nibble at ramen. At least they could have real food while they straightened everything out.

"Let's go then. I wouldn't want to make you seem like an ass. If we don't show up, after you called in that favor…it would be a dick move." The raven haired lawyer observes.

"Yeah. It really would. I hear their lobster is really good too!" The blonde exclaims brightly as they head off.

Sasuke drove them to the fancy seafood place. A waiter shows them to a private booth. He didn't know whether to be relieved or anxious about the fact that they had some privacy from other couples and diners.

"Thanks." Naruto tells the waiter, who nods and hands them each a menu.

"I'll be back in a few minutes to take your orders. I hope you enjoy your stay." He says before politely excusing himself.

Sasuke and Naruto sit down at their table, across from either other. Neither seemed to know what they should say or do. Finally, Naruto decides to break the ice.

"About what happened last night, I hope that you don't think that I planned it. I didn't intentionally get you drunk to take advantage of you. I would never do something like that on purpose!" The blonde says.

"Loser, you couldn't take advantage of me. Don't flatter yourself like that. It was all…consensual. It just happened." Sasuke assures him in typical Sasuke style.

It wouldn't be Sasuke, if he didn't insult you at least once a sentence. Naruto had grown used to it. There was no malice in the names he called the blonde. Hell, Naruto called Sasuke a bastard. It was only fair that the youngest Uchiha could get away with something like loser.

"Yeah. Well that's good. So you don't hate me then?" He asks nervously.

"If I hated you, I would never have agreed to have lunch with you. I could never hate you. You're my best friend. I just don't really know what to say to you right now. I never planned on it happening either." He admits.

Oh this was bad. If Sasuke didn't know what to say, this was very bad. One thing that Naruto had always liked about having Sasuke around was that he was always so sure of himself. He had a solution to everything. Well he had a solution to everything, except this.

"Yeah. So how do you feel about it?" He asks awkwardly.

"I don't know. I was going to ask you the same question. Did you want to pretend it never happened or were you interested in finding out if it should be more?" Sasuke dares himself to ask.

"Honestly? I don't know. You've always been there for me. I don't really know if I want to risk a friendship of over twenty years based on one night of sex. Really fucking amazing sex by the way. I didn't know you were THAT flexible." The blonde says.

Sasuke felt himself smirk. Well it was good to know that at the very least, Naruto didn't have an issue with his performance. Still he raised a good point. Was it really worth that big a risk?

"Thanks and it's good that after all these years, we finally found a good use for that big mouth of yours. Maybe you're right though. Maybe we should just pawn it off to a one time thing. It happened and it was great, but we can blame it on the alcohol." Sasuke suggests.

Naruto frowns. He was glad that Sasuke wasn't mad at him. He couldn't really be upset that Sasuke was agreeing with him, but that didn't change the fact that he didn't exactly like the answer.

"What if I don't want to blame it on the alcohol? What if I want more than just one night?" He asks.

"You said it yourself. It's not a good idea. If it doesn't work out, I think we both know that we aren't the type of people who can be just friends with our exes. I tried that with Neji. It didn't end well." Sasuke reminds him.

Naruto's eyes narrow. He knew that it was stupid, but he couldn't help it. He felt jealous. He didn't like Sasuke talking about his ex.

"Don't bring him into it. I'm not him. I'm NOTHING like Neji. This is about us, not our previous relationships." The blonde practically growls.

Sasuke was a bit taken aback by Naruto's response. He was definitely acting like a jealous lover. The other lawyer had been through everything with Sasuke, including his breakup with Neji. He KNEW that there was nothing going on there. There was no reason to be jealous.

The reverse was also true. He had been there through Naruto's relationship with Sakura. That breakup had been brutal.

"You're right. He has nothing to do with this, but you get my point. If we tried this and it didn't work out, do you really think that we could go back to the way things were?" Sasuke asks.

Naruto hated to admit it, but he knew the answer to that. No. The answer was no. Either they were going to pretend it never happened or they were going to do this. There was really no in between.

"Probably not. We aren't wired that way. It's why we are lawyers. We don't settle." Naruto replies.

"Exactly." Sasuke says and he orders some shrimp when the waiter comes back.

"I'll have some lobster and get us some white wine." Naruto tells the server with a smile.

The server nods and heads off. Naruto frowns. He wasn't really sure how to proceed. The fact that he had gotten so jealous of Sauske's ex was disturbing. This had already progressed beyond the boundaries of what was considered a platonic friendship.

"I want more than one night. I know that deep down you want that too." The environmental lawyer says.

Sasuke raises an eyebrow. Naruto was pretty cocky there. Then again, he had good reason to be. The raven haired man tries to lower his gaze, when images of the night before flashed across his mind. It had been explosive to say the least.

"What makes you say that?" Sasuke replies.

"You left hickeys all over me. You're way too possessive for someone who is going to be content with a one night stand. That's how I know." Naruto says.

He found himself biting his lower lip. That was true. Naruto had him there. Still he wasn't sure if this was a good idea or not.

Sasuke found himself very grateful when the food finally arrived. It gave him a good excuse not to speak. He shoveled some of his shrimp in his mouth.

"Sasuke, you're being evasive. In the courtroom, you would tear into anyone who tried that tactic." Naruto says.

That was true. Whenever Sasuke had them on the run, he would go in for the kill. He was a Prosecutor. It was his job to lock up the bad guys and he was damn good at it.

"Maybe a little. I think I just need some time to think about it." Sasuke confesses.

"That's okay. I mean I know that it was really sudden, but maybe this is why none of our other relationships ever worked out." His friend says.

Sasuke pauses as he considers that. Maybe. Maybe The One had been hiding right underneath his nose the whole time.

"I guess we'll see." He says as they were finishing dinner.

"Yeah. Just promise me that you'll at least think about it." He says and Sasuke nods.

How was he supposed to say no to THAT look? Naruto's big blue puppy eyes were lethal. That prick knew it too!

"I'll think about it. We should probably head back. Our lunch break is almost over." Sasuke says.

"Yeah. You're right. Let me give you something to think about though." Naruto says and he caresses Sasuke's cheek as he kisses him.

Sasuke kisses back instinctively. He bit back a moan. It was a close call though. God that felt good. Fireworks was an understatement. It felt like his entire body was on fire, but in a very, very good way.

He heard the waiter gasp, who had just come back to get the check. Quickly, he breaks the kiss and hands him the payment. He couldn't believe that he had just got caught making out in public.

"I'm so sorry." He stammers before darting off with the money.

"Well…I guess I at least gave him something to talk about with the other staff members." Naruto muses.

"Naruto, you were are such a loser." Sasuke says as he resists the urge to kiss him again.

"And you are such a bastard, but you're my bastard." Naruto says with a grin.

Sasuke raises an eyebrow. Normally, he wouldn't have thought much of a comment like that. Now that they were lovers though, things were different.

The youngest Uchiha never would have thought of Naruto as a very possessive person, but apparently he was. He had gotten angry at Neji being mentioned and now he was stressing the word my. It should have pissed him off. But for some reason, he found it kinda hot and that disturbed him.

"I said that I'd think about it. I didn't say that I was yours." Sasuke says as they had back to the office.

Yes, one night had changed his entire life. Monday morning, everything had been normal. Now on Tuesday afternoon, his best friend of over twenty years was trying to seduce him.

Sasuke sighs as he gets into the car. He was definitely going to have to talk to Itachi about this. He was in way over his head and his big brother was a genius. Maybe he would know what to do.
