A/n - This is a sorry-fic to all the peeps who have been waiting so patiently for The Bet to conclude! I've been reading a lot of Yaoi manga lately, hence the overly romantic title of this and the plot sort of follows how a traditional yaoi would go as well...Sasuke is very Tsundere (look it up) because he's cute like that and the entire fic is set in Japan, just to avoid some confusion later on...
Also, there is explicit sexual content in this and if anyone has a problem with boys love please do not read this!
Chapter One – The Morning's Consequences
"So, how do we do this?"
Naruto knew this was a new thing for him and he wasn't ashamed at all to admit it. Perhaps if he'd been sober, then yes, but in this case…
"Oh, you want me to show you how to dance?" Whispered the other man, leaning in closer as he pressed Naruto back into the wall.
"Yes, please," the blond murmured in return as his lips met with the other mans, and their tongues tangled together sensuously.
This was something Naruto never really did actually. Go out drinking all hours, randomly decide to act on his 'homo' vibes – hit a gay club then stumble on drunk to some random guy's house for what he hoped would be some pretty fantastic sex!
Not just any random guy, he corrected absently as the brunet began unbuttoning his shirt; try absolutely fucking hot random guy that was now encircling one of his nipples with a deliciously wet, warm tongue.
"Oh, fuck…."
The other man breathed out a ragged laugh against his chest making him shiver with pleasure as the cool air hit sensitive skin. "We're getting to that soon enough."
Moments later and not remembering how he'd gotten there, Naruto was lying down on the biggest bed he'd ever laid on in his life, with his beautiful male partner sitting, as equally naked as he was, in his lap.
"You put it in here," directed the brunet with a whisper as he grabbed one of Naruto's hands and slowly guided two of the blond's fingers up and pushed them steadily into his own body. Naruto heard the words but didn't bother to correct the man at all. He did have some idea how to do this, but he could feel himself getting harder just hearing the brunet erotically instructing him.
The man threw back his head and moaned in near ecstasy as Naruto begun moving his fingers inside of him, already questing out the spot that would make his partner scream with raw pleasure.
"More," the brunet managed to choke out as the blond hastily smeared lubricant over his own erection and the other man began guiding him in.
There was nothing but heat, the room spinning slightly around him and all Naruto could see was the perfect body sitting on top of him, slamming down repeatedly and rocking on his throbbing cock.
"Hey," he gasped between thrusts, "What's your name? I want to shout your name."
"It's," the brunet slammed himself down harder, "Sa–Sasuke!"
"God you feel so good, Sasuke, can't believe I've been doing women all these years!" Naruto groaned as he reached up with a growl and flipped their positions – Sasuke now lying on his back as Naruto pounded into him relentlessly.
"I told you," panted Sasuke as he gripped at Naruto's shoulders tightly, "that I'd…teach you to dance!"
Then, moments later, "Aah! Na – ruto!!"
Naruto woke up to the sound of the air-conditioning oddly enough.
Albeit a quiet noise, the blond was just thankful there was nothing louder as his head was already threatening to split in two.
Water, I need water! He thought wretchedly as he moved his arm up to rub at his aching eyes.
Upon moving, he became acutely aware of the other body nestled warmly against him, the other person shifting slightly and moaning in their sleep. As he pulled the body in closer still, the blond smiled despite his worsening headache. Last night had been fantastic and God, was he grateful most of it had stuck its way into his memory! The beautiful brunet – no the beautiful Sasuke! Rocking on top of him frantically, the hot touches, the gasps of shared pleasure, the intense kisses…
No matter what, he was definitely going to see this man again!
Cracking open one eye slowly to take in the appearance of the other man, Naruto could already feel himself getting excited for him once more. The club had been dark – crowded, it'd be nice to take in the brunet's features before the other properly awakened.
He knew something was wrong as soon as he felt his heartbeat speed up. His eyes weren't properly connecting the dots but somehow his brain already knew that he'd made a deathly mistake.
Lying, curled against him with a hand resting against his chest, his usual perfectly in place black hair mussed and dusting at the blond's cheeks was none other than Mister Uchiha.
Not just any Uchiha, but the Uchiha! CEO of an incredibly powerful and world renowned company, Sasuke Uchiha, one of the youngest billionaires this turn of the century and not to mention…!
Naruto's boss.
Soon to be ex-boss, thought Naruto in his growing sense of panic. No! I'm soon to be EX-employee!!
Said Uchiha, as if feeling Naruto's sudden distress, moaned again softly, his brow crinkling, then falling smooth again as sleep carried the young man off once more.
Naruto wanted to kiss him. Fuck, why did the man have to be so edible-looking?
NOO!!!
Wrong sort of thinking! Wrong sort of thinking!! His headache already long forgotten, he had to get out of here! And fast! Somehow, if he just got out before Uchiha woke up then maybe he'd escape with his job in tact! It wasn't like they'd ever met, Naruto just being a lowly salaryman working in one of the corporation's lower offices would never have the chance to even glimpse the high-flying business man in the flesh. Hell! He only knew the guy's face so well from the massive billboard right outside the corporation's headquarters. With the rising sun behind him to the left, his business suit impeccable and wearing a smile that could stop babies crying instantly stood Sasuke Uchiha, promising the world a new, better future to the world's marketing.
Of course, Mister Uchiha was in the news enough for Naruto to at least see the man step into bullet-proof windowed cars and the same sort of like but seeing the billboard every morning – it never failed to make him smile…
Remaining still against the Uchiha, Naruto hurriedly began locating his clothes strewn about the apartment's floor, and without further ado began edging slowly out of the brunet's warm embrace.
Who knew the billionaire liked cuddling after crazy one-night stands….
Mister Uchiha didn't seem to mind being moved at all, chances are he was just as trashed as Naruto was last night…the man probably didn't even have a clue that Naruto worked for him.
Gathering his clothes quietly as the morning light began filtering through the thick, fabric blinds, Naruto looked back on the sleeping man once more before turning to leave.
After all, he had to get to work on time as usual this morning!
"Naruto, could you come here for a sec?"
It was Sakura, his team leader calling him, her face painted with a welcoming smile as Naruto looked up from the report he had just been finishing in time for the morning's scheduled office meeting.
"Yeah, sure," he replied cheerily, already rising from his chair and following her into an unoccupied hallway round the corner from his desk space.
As soon as the door shut behind them Sakura turned on him, her small hands gripping his upper arms tightly, her face suddenly strained and anxious.
"The boss has requested to see you," she said, her voice barely above a whisper as her nails dug further into his arms through his shirt.
"What, Yamato? Is this about the report, 'cause I was just about finished it – "
"No!" She cut him off quickly, her voice slightly panicked as she quickly looked both ways down the hallway to make sure they were still alone. "The boss! Mister Uchiha!"
"WHAT!?" Naruto all but yelled as Sakura shushed him just as loudly.
"Why?" he continued quietly, "Why me!?"
"I don't know, Naruto! They just told me later this morning that you were to be escorted up to see Mister Uchiha directly! They didn't tell me why! Something like this has never happened before!!"
"You mean never!?" Naruto demanded. "Surely, people get called up to see him all the time!!"
"No, never!" Sakura shook him slightly. "You think Sasuke Uchiha would ever have time for the little ants like us?" Her eyes narrowed suddenly as a thought seemed to take her. "What did you do?"
"I – I didn't do anything! I swear to God!" He whispered desperately.
Besides pound his ass into the mattress for a good portion of the night!!
"You better go now!" Sakura whispered just as frantically. "I only just got the message, but don't make him wait Naruto!"
"Mister Uchiha will see you now, go through," intoned one of the security guards standing directly outside Uchiha's private office, his face and voice both completely emotionless.
Nodding slightly, his heart beating uncomfortably fast, Naruto stepped through the door opened to him and found himself in a large, almost completely bare room. Its opposite side was completely windowed from floor to ceiling, displaying the city spread out below it – a large, mahogany desk also sat directly across from where he was standing, the large leather chair behind it thankfully vacant for the moment. A set of comfortable looking lounges lay to his far right, where what seemed to be a private bar resided against the wall next to them.
As he slowly walked further into the deathly still room it was from the private bar to the right that he first heard something that broke the silence.
A stopper from a bottle was pulled with a resounding pop – then the quiet chinking of a glass as liquid was slowly poured into it.
"Ah…Mister Uchiha?" Naruto inquired nervously as he peered through the dim lighting the windows were casting in on them. Obviously the room had adjustable blinds considering that it was still so dark at ten o'clock in the morning.
There was a thud from a bottle being placed back on a counter, then from out of the gloom, stepped the man that Naruto had held so passionately last night.
Sasuke Uchiha, twenty-five years young was a beautiful man if Naruto ever did see one. His suit was perfectly ironed, not one thread or button out of place, his hair impossibly straight, neatly combed upwards but the bangs still falling exquisitely around his face – so different to the night before and the hand holding a glass tumbler raised in front of himself slightly, was smooth and almost fragile looking, but still masculine, even down to his finely manicured nails.
Mister Uchiha's voice cut across the silence like a knife, his tone cold and calculating. "I'm sure you understand why you are here?"
Naruto gulped. No warm welcome, no timid smiles or even perhaps an embarrassed explanation?
Holy shit he was in for it…
"Ah…Yes, I'm sure I've got a fairly good idea why," he laughed lightly, but nervously, trying to make light of the situation, the atmosphere becoming thick with tension.
"Don't you dare make a mockery of me, Uzumaki," growled out Mister Uchiha, his fingers noticeably tightening on the glass tumbler as he suddenly turned to the blank wall that only held the door Naruto had come through and immediately as if the man had pressed a control somewhere a giant screen as large as the wall itself appeared and a tape began to play.
Naruto watched, stunned into complete silence as the video showed early that very same morning in what the blond could now accurately guess was the Uchiha's own private bedroom, where the two of them lay sleeping curled around eachother, one of Naruto's hands buried deep within the other man's beautiful hair. As he watched on with a growing feeling of dread, the tape showed him waking up first, then clearly his look of horror once he'd realized who he'd woken up entangled with.
The Naruto on the tape managed to thrash around for a few more minutes, the emotions clearly visible across his face, as he finally eased away from the sleeping Uchiha and frantically gathered his belongings. Naked.
Naruto blushed in spite of himself.
"Why – Why have you recor – "
With a flick of Mister Uchiha's wrist the screen was turned off, disappearing from view and with another flick the entire room became visibly lighter.
"You want to know why?" Demanded Mister Uchiha quietly, his tone becoming dangerous. "Every one of my private rooms has surveillance cameras – do you think, as high a status in the world as a person like me could feel assured of his own security without them?"
"R-Right, my mistake Sir," Naruto mumbled, immediately embarrassed. There was no way he could see himself getting out of this one. How could such a carefree night turn into the worst mistake of his young life!?
He was about to be fired…no, scratch that, perhaps the man would have him killed…
Mister Uchiha sat down at his desk with a frustrated sigh, as he placed the now empty tumbler down in front of him, his hands already reaching for the only visible item on the large desk which on closer inspection turned out to be a blank manila folder.
Flipping it open, he read from it quietly for a moment then looked up, directly into Naruto's startled eyes. "I have here a reliable source that you actually staked out my apartment and then proceeded to follow me into the same nightclub last night."
"What!?" Shouted Naruto suddenly, his nervousness completely gone as it gave over to complete outrage. "Why the hell would I do that? I was drinking – just having a good time! I didn't even know who you were till I woke up this morning!" He gestured to the wall far behind him. "You must've seen my reaction when I woke up beside you!"
"Easily explained," Mister Uchiha interrupted him, "You became panicked at not being able to leave the bed easily, as you had assumed I would not be the type of person to cling to a one-night stand."
"Well, I did actually think you wouldn't be the type to do that, but I – "
Mister Uchiha stood abruptly, the folder falling back to the desk with a resounding 'fwap'.
"You admit this was pre-meditated then? Did you plan to run to the press with this? That Sasuke Uchiha, 'business extraordinaire' (here he raised his fingers in the air sarcastically), takes other men to his bed? Or was it for the fame? The money? Were you planning to extort money from me, in order for me to buy your silence!?"
"Look, Sasuke!" Naruto yelled back, not caring that he'd used the bastard's first name. "I don't want any of those things from you – and I'm sure as hell am not going to run to the papers about it! I've never even slept with another man before you – honest to God, all I was looking for was a good time last night!" Suddenly losing all his steam, Naruto was left feeling exhausted and distressed at these turn of events. Sure the guy had a right to be suspicious taking into account his status in the business world, but if he was walking out of here with his white papers today then he was going to make sure his boss understood the truth!
And…he'd woken up this morning wanting something more…he'd wanted…
"I was drawn to you…" Naruto murmured out into the silence of the room, "You looked so untouchable, just sitting there at the bar, drinking all on your own and… ," He laughed quietly, "I'd already had a few to drink so I thought I'd try and approach you. And I managed to make an idiot of myself as usual, but you – you smiled – and I knew you were familiar but I couldn't even begin to place you from anywhere I'd ever seen you!"
Sasuke remained silent, his hands planted flat out in front of him on the desk, his eyes blank and serious.
"I just wanted a good night with you….and I got that…I got that and an even nicer morning…"
There was a tense silence for a few minutes more, before Sasuke sat heavily with a 'thunk', the window's lightening the room again, more and more of the sun's rays slowly filtering in.
"Fine, I understand," Sasuke said, as Naruto's eyes widened in surprise, "It seems my information was incorrect."
He closed the still open manila folder upon his desk before standing again and without looking at Naruto once, began walking towards the door. Naruto, suspicious in spite of himself, began to follow. Perhaps the man was going to go get his 'hired muscle' to come teach him a lesson. Seriously, did anyone ever yell at the Uchiha? Surely that would merit an instant beating!
But the Uchiha didn't walk out into the entrance way, but simply pulled one of the large double doors open and held it, waiting for Naruto to pass through.
Naruto knew somehow that he couldn't leave things like this! He hadn't wanted it to happen like this! Why did he have to go and fall in love with someone that he could never possibly be with!?
Wait…Did I just admit that I'm in love…with him!?
"Mister Uchiha…Sasuke," Naruto murmured just loud enough for the other man to hear, "I'm sorry if you feel that I've taken advantage of you, but please believe me, under different circumstances, I had hoped this would have ended better between us..."
The other man was silent for a few moments more, his expression annoyed, then, "Unfortunately, under these strange circumstances, Uzumaki, I can't really say it's been a – " He suddenly broke off mid-sentence his eyes going wide as Naruto realised with another shock that the other man had begun to blush.
"…Pleasure…" Uchiha finished off quietly, his cheeks now turning a distinctive shade of light pink, undoubtedly remembering the previous night's activities between them.
"Sasuke…?" Naruto questioned him quietly, his hand already beginning to reach for the other man.
"Don't touch me!" Sasuke hissed, slapping Naruto's hand away from its path up towards his face.
"Regardless of this incident, you can keep your position here, Uzumaki. I expect you to continue to maintain the high standards we enforce here."
Naruto, immediately realising the moment had passed and that it seemed Sasuke was strictly 'back to business', he stepped away from the other man quickly and began walking out through the still open door.
"Thank-you very much for that, Sir," he said, genuinely relieved to still be employed.
"Please excuse me, there are matters I must attend to." Said his boss in farewell as the door was smartly snapped shut, right in his face.
