DISCLAIMER: Kishimoto owns as per usual

"Hmm… can you press a little harder?"

"Right here?"

"Yeah, wait… no. A little more down…"

"This spot?"

"Too low."

"Okay… right here?"

"Yeah, that's it. That's the spot."

Sasuke couldn't help but feel jealous as he watched his boyfriend rub Sai's shoulders, Sai sitting on the bench as Naruto stood behind him. It was just a simple massage, he knew that. But he couldn't help but feel this jealousy whenever he saw Naruto and Sai too close together. He had to constantly remind himself that Sai and Naruto had been friends for a long time and knew where there boundaries were.

Well, at least Naruto.

"You are so good with your hands Naruto-kun." Sai complimented. "I can think of a few things your hands are good. And things your hands could be good at as well. And Sasuke-kun could be your little practice doll."

Naruto stopped rubbing at Sai's shoulders and glared down at the top of his head. Then he hit him on the top of his head and took a seat on the bench. He took the bottle juice that Sai bought for him and drank from it, still glaring at his friend. "You know what? I'm not massaging your shoulders whenever you get a crick for the next two weeks. I hope you get a really bad knot in your neck."

"I can live with that." Sai merely shrugged.

"Then I hope that the next time you paint, you get an artist block!"

Sai slowly turned to face Naruto. "… You cut me deep."

Naruto stuck his tongue out at Sai and turned to Sasuke. "So uh… how are things in your family? Did you talk to them yet about us?" he asked, nervous about the answer for some reason.

"I'm uh… more or less waiting on you Naruto." Sasuke answered. "You're the one that wanted to announce it so I'm waiting on you."

"Oh… seems fair. Well don't worry, you won't have to wait long. I'm seeing Kyuubi this weekend and I'll be telling him. Granted, I know he won't like it anyway but he won't talk me out of this." Naruto said as he bent down to tie his shoes. He came back up and gave his boyfriend a smile. "I'm going to be staying with him in his dorms again, just like last time."

"Don't let those weirdos get too close to you. Remember what you told me from the first time you went to your brother's university?" Sai clipped in, rubbing at his own shoulders.

Sasuke looked over the two boys before staring down at Naruto. "Wait, what happened?"

Naruto gave a pointed look at Sai, unhappy with what he had let slip out, but sighed and decided to tell his boyfriend. He had told them some details the first time he had visited his but he omitted the part with the creeps with Sasuke while he had comfortably told Sai. He held Sasuke's hands in his and took a deep breath. "Don't be too mad okay? But the first time I went to my brother's university, he took me to a party and it was nice and everything… I just got harassed once and there was a creep. That was it."

Sasuke frowned, but there wasn't much he could say since this was in the past. He squeezed the hand in his. "Just be more careful when you go there this weekend."

"I promise."

"Alright." Sasuke stood up from the bench and smoothed down his shirt. "Come on, the bell is going to ring soon. I'll walk you to your classroom Naruto." Sasuke said as he offered his hand.

"Oh thank you Sasuke-kun. That is so nice of you to walk the both of us to our next class." Sai answered as he put his own hand in Sasuke's offered one and pulled himself up. "Naruto-kun is so lucky to have such a considerate boyfriend like you."

Sai started walking away and he knew that his back was being glared at, but he honestly didn't care.

Naruto stared as he watched the swim team practice in their pool, wanting to wait for Sasuke and Sai instead of going home alone. He wasn't just watching just those two alone; he observed the other team members as well. It was easy to pinpoint the people who were obviously swimming veterans of the entire team. There were the new people that were fairly good but were being trained by their senpais on how to be faster and how to improve themselves.

Naruto wasn't a bad swimmer himself, but he just happened to like running more. And obviously when it came to sports, you had to be in good physical condition and keep yourself that way.

Whenever he had seen Sai shirtless, Naruto knew that he was fit and he didn't really think twice about it.

But Naruto watched Sasuke leave the pool and for the first time, he had truly taken notice of the Uchiha's body and found himself getting a little flustered. He had Sasuke stand in front of him in just his jammers before and it didn't bother him back then. In fact, he barely took notice of Sasuke's body back then. He was just aware that Sasuke was in good shape. But for some reason, Naruto was starting to look at Sasuke differently. He noticed just how… nice his body was and wondered how he hadn't taken notice of it before.

"Naruto?"

The blonde jumped when his name was called and realized that Sasuke had walked right up to him, and he was in too much of a daze to have noticed! Naruto clutched at the straps of his bag and tried to not stare at Sasuke's body. "Oh! Hi Sasuke! What are you up to?" he had squeaked out.

Sasuke looked down at him, noticing the blush on Naruto's face. "Are you okay?" he asked.

Naruto quickly nodded his head. "Yeah! Just waiting on you and Sai!"

"… Okay then. Sai's almost finished and I'm about to head into the locker room to wash up. We won't be long."

Sasuke had walked off and Naruto stared at his back, once again questioning himself on why he hadn't noticed Sasuke's body before. He turned his head towards the pool and watched as Sai climbed out of the water, taking off his goggles and cap. He saw the muscles that Sai had but he didn't feel anything towards it. They were nice, Naruto acknowledged that much but he didn't really feel anything else. Thinking about Sasuke again, his face got heated up.

Even as they walked away from the school and the three of them were clothed, Naruto couldn't stop his mind from thinking about-

"Naruto? Are you sure you're okay?" Sasuke asked again. He was holding Naruto's hand in his, and the entire time they were walking he had noticed how uncomfortable the blonde had looked. Not to mention that Naruto's hand had gotten sweaty when he was holding it. Sasuke thought that they were over this hurdle of being uncomfortable. "You look… constipated."

Naruto quickly shook his head but didn't say anything. Blue eyes drifted to the front of Sasuke's shirt, and a brief image of Sasuke's chest came into his mind. "I am totally fine!" he insisted, but it came out as forced and insincere.

Sai was quick to chime in. "He's just embarrassed because he realizes how hot you are Sasuke-kun."

The couple stopped walking and turned to Sai, one of them in utter horror and the one just confused.

"It's true. Naruto-kun just realized how physically attractive you are, and I can bet you that now that he knows he can't stop thinking about it. I can tell, I have a sixth sense that specifically retains to our little blonde right here." Sai patted spiky blonde hair and just simply smiled when his hand was smacked away. "No need to be ashamed dickless. Physical attraction is natural when it comes to being in a relationship."

"No one asked you!" Naruto yelled. "Sasuke, I swear that I wasn't thinking about you in a dirty way or anything like that! I have no idea what triggered it! I know you've been topless around me before and it didn't bother me beforehand but now it's different!"

Sasuke simply shrugged his shoulders. "It's okay. Isn't this how it works? We just start noticing the things that we haven't seen before? That happens over time when you're with someone right? Like I've noticed how you've improved on trying to not walk pigeon toed lately."

Now Naruto felt ridiculous. If it was natural just eventually notice things about your partner when you're with them, then he felt dumb for seeming like it was a big deal and making it a big deal. "Sorry, I'm being dumb. But I'm serious, I can't stop thinking about your… dumb hot body." He mumbled. "And fuck I can't believe I just said that! But I need this out of my system!"

"You should touch him." Sai chirped in.

Naruto jerked around to glare at his friend. "What?" he screeched.

"You should touch him." Sai repeated. "Look, you're all curious about his body now. And you want to get it out of your system, I say you should touch him. Just feel him out a little, just enough to satiate your curiosity."

"I'm not curious! I know what he looks like without a shirt!"

"Maybe you should do it Naruto."

This time Naruto whipped around to stare at Sasuke. "You agree?"

"I can tell that you're going to toss and turn about this in bed later. Maybe Sai is right, maybe you should touch me." Sasuke said. With one hand, he lifted his shirt and stopped only when he felt his belly button exposed to the air.

Naruto could not believe what he was seeing. His hands twitched when he saw Sasuke's lower stomach and his face heated up. Sasuke had turned his head away from Naruto's gaze, probably out of courtesy because he knew that he'd be embarrassed.

How had it come to this?

Still, Naruto reached his right hand out. The tips of his fingers skimming over the top of Sasuke's lower abdominals; there was no way he was going to press his entire palm to his boyfriend's stomach. But even then, just the sensation of actually touching this part of his boyfriend… it honestly exhilarated Naruto just a little bit. Hell, he even poked just to see how hard Sasuke's abs were.

He drew his hand back and looked up at Sasuke, who had turned his head back. Just to appear nonchalant Naruto shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's alright."

Sasuke let a small smile come onto his face. "Alright dobe, whatever you say."

He stepped forward into Naruto's space and pushed away blonde bangs to kiss his forehead. "Your touch was warm." He whispered.

Naruto was unsure what to say to that. But he didn't have to worry about a response because a hand had suddenly grasped onto his backside and gave it a squeeze. He arched away from the touch, pushing him into Sasuke and his face flared up all over again. "Sai!"

Ready to cuss Sai out, Naruto turned his head to see what Sai was leaning against a wall and had apparently watched the whole thing from about ten feet away. He couldn't have been the one to grab him from that distance. Naruto looked up Sasuke, and frowned at him. "I forgot… you're a pervert too!" he accused.

Sasuke smirked and kissed his forehead again. "Hey, you touched me first."

"You invited me to! This was unwarranted!"

"You let Sai do it."

"I don't 'let him' do it! He just does it! He's a pervert and you're a pervert! When will the two of you stop being obsessed with my ass?"

Sasuke's smirk widened and he nuzzled blonde hair against his cheek. "Was my body to your liking? Did you enjoy it?" he teased. "You can touch me as much as you please Naruto."

Naruto pushed Sasuke away and folded his arms over his chest. "Perverts! I am surrounded by perverts! My friend and my boyfriend!" he declared.

Even so, Naruto thought that Sasuke was right in what doing what Sai suggested. His curiosity about Sasuke's body was satisfied with just a brief touch, he didn't have to roll around for a few hours in bed being bothered and thinking about his boyfriend's body. Sasuke gave his consent, so everything was okay. Even with the quick grope that Sasuke had pulled earlier, Naruto couldn't help but actually feel okay that the Uchiha was the one to had done it.

Because he knew that Sasuke was happy that Naruto had been the one to do it.

Sasuke wasn't really the vain type of person. He was aware that he was more than just good looking and that doing sports had improved his body; he knew that he was someone to be looked while just walking down the street. But it wasn't something for him to really brag about. He knew how to dress well and maintain his appearance while out in public.

So it wasn't until Friday evening, the day Naruto was supposed to be with his brother at his dorm, that Sasuke had ever looked at himself critically.

Well, not there was anything to 'critique'.

Sasuke stood in his boxers just staring at himself in the mirror. He touched the lower part of his stomach where he allowed Naruto to touch. Naruto's fingers had lightly skimmed that area but it brought a soft tingling sensation to Sasuke. He hoped that sometime in the future that he and Naruto would get to know each other's body's more. He was proud that his body had caused his dobe to be so excited over him.

He was proud to be Naruto's.

"Well, you're never one to preen over yourself little brother. Or are you just feeling a little vain today?"

Oh great, his brother had come home for the weekend.

Reaching down for the discarded shirt on the ground, Sasuke had picked it up and quickly put it on before turning to his brother. "Aniki, you're supposed to knock and announce yourself when you're entering someone's room."

Itachi strolled over to his little brother and stood behind him, looking into the mirror's reflection. Then he ruffled Sasuke's hair playfully and gave him a gentle smile. He did nothing when Sasuke slapped his hand away and walked towards his dresser to put on a pair of bottoms. "I've never caught you looking so hard at yourself in the mirror before otouto. Are you just now realizing that you have good looks?" he teased.

Sasuke sneered and pulled on a pair of dark sweats. "Tch, it's nothing like that."

"Hmm… if you say so." Itachi hummed and then moved to sit on his brother's bed. "So how are things with your little kouhai? Have you made any progress in your relationship with him?" he asked.

Oh, they made progress alright.

But Sasuke wouldn't call it official until Naruto gave him the okay.

And he wasn't going to tell his family just yet.

So he just gave a slight nod and turned away from his brother. "Things are fine. We're fine."

Itachi stared hard at his brother's back, thinking about the answer he was given. Then he had come to just one conclusion. "… You two are dating now, aren't you?"

Sasuke's head jerked towards his brother and there was a frown set on his face. But he tried to play it off and he just shrugged his shoulders. He thought that maybe if he played nonchalant, then he could throw off his brother. But unfortunately Itachi was a smart man and saw right through him.

"Aw… you're too embarrassed to tell me. That's so sweet Sasuke." Itachi cooed to him. "Tell me when it happened, how did it happen? Have you been a gentleman so far?"

"Damn it Itachi. This isn't your business yet!" Sasuke snapped.

"Well when does it become my business? Do mother and father know?"

"No… I won't tell them until Naruto tells his own family. And you were supposed to find out much later than I have wanted you to." Sasuke glared at his brother and leaned against a spot on the wall.

Itachi merely shrugged his shoulders in response. "So, your little kouhai is in charge of the relationship?"

If Sasuke tried to avoid the topic, Itachi would get revenge on him later for not having a conversation with him so he had no choice but to just talk. "Naruto's… still a little hesitant about the relationship. He likes me, I can confirm that much, and his feelings probably don't run as deeply as mine. So I have to go about this according to him. He's already told his parents and he's spending this weekend with his brother to tell him also."

"Hm, I agree. I think it's for the best that you do that for him. And you shouldn't worry Sasuke, you're fairly charming so I'm sure he'll warm up to you even more."

"… Thanks Aniki."

Maybe Sasuke misjudged this situation. It was actually pretty nice to have someone on the outside to talk to about this.

"But please tell me, why were you ogling at yourself in the mirror?"

"Okay, you can get the hell out now."

ヽ(･ω･)丿

"Come on, let's get inside Kyuu!" Naruto laughed, waiting at the front door of the dorms for his brother to catch up. Kyuubi was trailing behind, still trying to catch his breath from the run that he and his brother just went on. "It wasn't that bad, you know?"

Kyuubi finally reached the front doors and laid against it for support, though sliding down to the ground in exhaustion. "Damn Naru… I never realized… how fit you… actually are…" he said in between breaths.

Naruto cocked his head to the side. "Uh… Fit? I mean, I guess you can say I am. I just really like running you know? And the more I ran, the better I got and the longer I could go." He held his hand out to his brother to try to pull him up to his feet. "Come on, let's get back you back to your room."

When they walked inside the dormitory, Naruto saw that more people were awake than when they had left for their run.

The brothers had woken up just a little before six, and Naruto was feeling the urge to just do his regular run in the morning. And Kyuubi, not wanting Naruto to run around an environment he wasn't familiar with, had decided to just go running with him. But the thing is that Kyuubi typically got around his campus by riding a skateboard in order for him to get to classes. The campus was big and there was no way that you could always make it to class on time on foot, especially if your next lecture was all the way on the other side of the campus.

And Kyuubi could run for a certain amount of time, fifteen minutes at most. But to run for an entire hour and try to keep up with someone, it was more exercise than he had gotten in a while.

Naruto suppressed a giggle when his brother had landed face down into his bed, groaning the entire time. He sat on top of his brother's back and started lightly tapping the back of his head. "Someone's getting lazy." He sang. "I thought you work out?"

Kyuubi moved his head to the side so he could breathe air instead of into his pillow. "Not regularly. I go to school and work Naruto, I try to do a workout when I can but other things just take up my priorities. Now get off my back and take a shower!"

"You first! I smell like roses!"

"Roses that got shat on, yeah…"

"Hey!"

Kyuubi laughed when Naruto had tried pushing his head down further into his pillow. He grabbed his wrist and carefully twisted it, just enough to incapacitate Naruto and get himself off the bed. "Take a shower first Naru." He ordered. "Then we'll go out for food and hit it up! There's another awesome party tonight in the dorms and my friends all want to hang out with you again."

Naruto stuck his tongue out at his brother but gathered clothes from his bag and went into the bathroom. He wasn't sure about the whole dorm party thing after last time, but he'd feel bad that his brother's friends were looking forward to seeing him again. Maybe he just needed to suck it up and just go through with it.

He'd just have to be extra careful of the creeps Kyuubi told him about.

And he'd have to try to squeeze in the chance to tell his brother about Sasuke.

He thought maybe lunchtime would be an opportune moment.

"Just gotta do it Naruto. Just gotta do it…" he muttered to himself.

A/N: So I was putting off this chapter to finish off rewrites of PS chapters but then I figured, "Nah, they've waited long enough. I'll just update them on PS rewrites for the next chapter."

BTW: I might change the origin of how Naruto got his whiskers. If you've read PS, then you know I've vaguely touched on how in PS Naruto isn't born with the whiskers on his face and he got them in his adolescence rather than being born with them. So at the moment I'm either deciding to wipe that out of the story and change it to something else (I wanted it to center more on Kyuubi rather than Naruto's whiskers) or I could just go through with the origin of the whiskers.
