A/N: Thank you for not going crazy about the fact that one could die from 'The bends' from doing exactly what Sui and Naru are doing XD You can't fly in an airplane and dive in the ocean all in one day...you will die a slow and painful death.
BUT~ since this is my fanfiction I can bend the rules of reality...-confident nod-

The two stood at the edge of the boat, Suigetsu looked over Naruto appraisingly. "You make sure you always have me in sight, and remember, no matter what happens don't panic and never come up too fast." Of course Naruto had already had a run through of all the rules that lasted for about forever but Suigetsu wanted to just make sure the important facts where imprinted in the blond's mind.
Naruto nodded his head while rolling his eyes, "Yeah yeah, I got it already! and Of course I'm gonna keep you in sight! Its not like I have directions to where we are going anyways." he scoffed light heartedily while eyeing Suigetsu. Yet again he had to trust this stranger, that always seemed to turn everything into a joke or cheesy pickup line, with his life. It was certainly a crazy day.
"Just one more thing, Naruto." Suigetsu's face grew somewhat serious, well more like a playful seriousness that made Naruto raise a brow as he smirked and 'hmm?'ed, "I hope you know CPR..." he leaned closer and whispered as a crewmen walked behind them, " because you take my breath away!"
Laughing as he shoved Suigetsu playfully Naruto shook his head and adjusted the mask that was over his face now, "You're such a dork."
Suigetsu chuckled at the jest and nodded while scooting over the edge a little more, he looked over at Naruto and, with a smile, stated in a sing-songy voice.
"Now remember, if you see a shark. Don't act like bait!" with that Sui' jumped off the boat and landed with a splash. Naruto's eyes bugged out, he started to crawl back off of the edge of the ship but was quickly stopped as a hand rested on his shoulder.
"Don't worry sonny, even if a shark does come around here it most likely wouldn't attack you. But there aren't usually sharks in these waters, especially at this time of day. Suigetsu just likes to joke." The man was weathered by years and years of seamenship, his hands rough, hair and short beard peppered with the signs of his age, but his eyes sparkled with knowing life. Naruto trusted him instantly and nodded dumbly.
A loud splash and some flailing later Suigetsu was bobbing up and down next to Naruto with a smirk. "Do you come here often? Or is it just my lucky day?" His words were slightly muffled by the gear. Before Naruto could respond, yet again, Suigetsu rolled forward and disappeared under the surface of the water leaving Naruto alone. Sighing the blond followed.
They both tredded water slowly as they waited for the crew to help them back into the ship. Naruto had a large smile splitting up his face as he stated softly, "So awesome....we gotta do this again." Suigetsu's eyebrow lifted slightly as he turned to face the blond. Curling up the edge of his lips Suigetsu's smile stretched up till even his eyes were twinkling brightly.
"So is that a yes to another date with me?" a light blush burned across the blond's cheeks as he let his eyes flick from Sui's to the top of the ship, his arms tredding slowly as his feet kicked a bit faster beneath him.
"Yeah I guess it is, haha." Suigetsu felt his heart thud faster in his chest as his eyelashes fluttered for a brief moment. He couldn't take his eyes off Naruto, his finger's clenched in his fists as they continued to gently stream through the water.
The feeling in his chest started to make him light headed. He didn't know if he liked the feeling or not, he never felt something like that in his life and it was a bit overwhelming.
Sui found himself getting closer and closer to the blond as his face straightened to a look of serious concentration, eyes wandering all over the blond's face trying to map it out and memorize every line, every mark, dot, scar, and pore.
When finally he was close enough for their legs to bump into each other Naruto's heart caught mid-beat as Suigetsu leaned forward with his eyes shut. All the air seemed to press down around them, compressing the oxygen in his lungs and forcing a rock to jam in his pipes, "Sui..." he managed to whisper with the little air left in him. But before their lips could meet a shout sounded from up above causing them both to spazzism and recoil away from each other.
"Alrighty boys time for ya to come out of the water!"
The man's voice ended with a bit of a chuckle as he turned to go back to whatever buisness it is a captain had to do.
Once the pair were both seated safely on the side of the ship, changed back into fresh clothes, Naruto looked over at Suigetsu as the other continued to look out over the calm ocean. A warm feeling curled in the blond's stomach as the other sighed softly, their hands were just centimeters apart and the crew was leaving them to go about their normal duties.
Bitting softly on his lower lip Naruto turned to face out the same direction as his finger's oh so slowly curled then stretched out again, he could feel the faint heat from Suigetsu's finger's pulsing into his own. He froze, was this too quick? Holding the other man's hand showed affection, tender care that usually didn't come about till after a few dates.
Eyes sliding shut as he took a deep breath Naruto's heart pounded in his chest when he felt smooth fingers glide over his own till Suigetsu's hand was resting ontop of his own. The blond's eyes popped open and he turned to see Suigetsu still staring out at the endless expanse of blue, a beautiful smile etched across his face.
Never before in his life had Naruto understood what it meant to have butterflies in your stomach until that moment.
Half an hour slipped by, their legs swaying to and fro as the gentle sea air tossled their hair about. The moment was so comfortable and perfect that they hadn't even said a word the entire time, just sat there hand in hand staring out over the glistening sea.
A loud churning in Naruto's stomach filled the air with a rather nasty growling sound. The next second Naruto was hunched forward, the spell broken as his previously claimed hand now rested over top his wailing gut. "Dude, I think I'm dying." he groaned while tossing Suigetsu a needy look.
"Dont worry, sweetness. We're coming to shore right now." Suigetsu announced while pointing toward the quickly approaching shoreline.
"Oh." the blond mumbled dumbly. He couldn't believe he didn't see that, his mind being too wrapped up in its own little world. "So," he started while successfully bringing his mind back to the real world, "Where are we going to eat? Gonna take a helicopter to some restuarant in the sky? Or maybe a drilling machine to dinner in the center of the earth? Honestly, now, I wouldn't be surprised by any."
The fanged man laughed as he patted Naruto on the back. "Not even close my dear."
The two stood side my side at the local 7-11, only a few blocks away from Sui's and Sasuke's home, while Suigetsu refilled his Slurpee cup and bought two foot long hotdogs. He spared a glance at Naruto and smirked at the funny smile on Naruto's face. "My connections ran dry after the scuba diving."
"Ah, I had wondered. I was half expecting someone to run out and yell 'You've been Punk'd!' or something." he winked at Suigetsu as he thumbed through the magazines.
After paying for their goods they walked back outside to Suigetsu's car. Looking at Naruto the other chuckled to himself as he reached into the bag and fished out his bag of Skittles. The blond sat silent as he ate his hotdog, reaching up to wipe the grease that dribbled down his chin, completely unaware of the devish smirks Suigetsu kept throwing his way.
When he got a small mouth full of Skittles, Suigetsu held them back and began, "I've got Skittles in my mouth." he slurped back the saliva that was pooling under his tongue and finished, "Wanta taste the rainbow?~"
Naruto choked back the hotdog as he turned with wide eyes. 'This guy can't stop himself!' he thought breathlessly in his own mind. When finally he swallowed, he smiled softly at the taller man.
Both their hearts constricted in their chests like painful knots as Naruto leaned closer, placing his hotdog on his knee. Gingerly, Naruto placed his right hand on Suigetsu's jaw as he brought the man's lips closer. He blinked rapidly as his head swam, finally he had to shut his eyes as he got overwhelmed by a dizzing feeling. Their last kiss had been thwarted by the captain, and since then their had been an awkward block in the air around them making them nervous.
Now was the chance to fix that.
They couldn't breathe, the Skittles making soft clinking sounds as they moved around in Suigetsu's mouth.
Finally, at long last their lips meet in a blissful union.
Suigetsu shuddered softly as he tilted his head, allowly the blond to get closer.
The kiss only lasted a brief second before Naruto's tongue dipped in the other's mouth causing Suigetsu to moan softly as his hand shot up to wrap around the inviting body.
Just as quickly as it had started, it ended. Naruto pulling back with a broad grin on his face as he stared down at the pink cheeked Suigetsu. Both were breathing heavily as they tried to stiffle the tingling sensations that were rushing to their groins.
The blond chuckled as he reclaimed his sit, never taking his eyes off Suigetsu. "What's so funny?" the fanged man finally breathed as he arched at brow at the strangely amused man.
"The rainbow's never tasted so good!" Naruto annouced before presented his tongue. Three skittles, whose shell had turned to white, sat proudly on the pink muscle before being pulled back into his mouth and eatten.
The two stood at the doorway to Naruto's apartment. Suigetsu staring down at the floor as he tried to find the words to say.
Again the air was heavy between them. Suigetsu felt torn, he didn't know whether to nod and say 'have a good night' or beg to be able to spend a few more hours with the blond. They didn't have to do anything dirty...just hang out. Being around Naruto...just felt right.
Sensing the hesistation from his new found love interest Naruto took a step forward and wrapped his arm around Suigetsu's waist and smiled wickly as the other finally made eye contact with him.
"I lost my teddy bear...will you sleep with me tonight?"
I didn't detail the whole scuba diving thing cause I've never been scuba diving and everytime I tried to write the scene it just came out really weird. So yeah. :D
I used my two most favoritest pick up lines in this chapter x3 and I started part of this chapter two years ago! XD so if the chapter feels strange, thats why ;D
Thanks for reading~
