Anonymous review replies (also for those I cannot PM):

Adoring Fan: Oh, pooh. I know you said an epilogue wasn't needed and I agree. I did one because quite a few asked for it and I thought 'it should be fun.' It was, but I still think the ending was perfect the way it was. Ah, what can I say? I couldn't say no.

Black Angel Wings XD: Ack! How dare you guess? Shush! Tell no one! When I decided on the pairing (at the time) I just chose the most unusual, yet interesting, couple...but I guess it's more common than I expected. Hm.

Devin Trahan: Ah! Thank you! I tried to write a good epilogue. I have no idea if I succeeded, but I sure hope so. What wonderful praise -sigh-

Shane: So am I (glad that Sasuke didn't remain a total idiot). It was close thing. It would have been interesting if I'd killed off Naruto, wouldn't it? I mean, I would have been e-bludgeoned, but other than that...a tragic romance. They're nice when the hero involved is a &*^%^&. Or maybe I'm just a little evil. Heheh.

noname00: Thanks! XD May you approve. This chapter is uncertain for me. -fingers crossed-

All my fics are edited by yours truly, so if there are any mistakes of any kind, please let me know. No matter what I do, I'm bound to miss a lot.

Chapter 15:

Sasuke could barely articulate his pleasure. He gasped and gripped Naruto's thighs as the blond bounced over his lap with his mouth slack. The tight channel gripped, rippled and pulled at him, and Sasuke understood what Naruto told him about the sex being over really quickly as a result of their mating bond.

So he leaned forward and looped his arms around Naruto's waist, holding him down and biting the arch of his shoulder. He finally had Naruto's body wrapped around him, and he didn't want things to end so soon. he would savour his mate if it killed them both!

The blond grunted and trembled in his arms, obviously trying to break free of Sasuke's hold. "Why…?" he breathed, pulling his head forward to look at his lover in frustrated confusion. He was panting and holding Sasuke's thighs for leverage, his own nearly flattened against the bed now that Sasuke was holding him down.

"I don't want to come yet. Stay still for a minute."

A knowing smile broke across the beautiful mouth and Sasuke frowned in annoyance. "And what would you like to do while we wait?"

"There's no need to - Ungh! N-Naruto, for the love of-" growled Sasuke angrily and swatted Naruto's bare hip. The blond yelped and clenched around him again, making the Uchiha's eyes roll back in his head. It was bad enough, seeing Naruto splayed out so erotically above him, but with the intensified feel of their lovemaking…how could he possibly last?

They'd returned to the village not two days ago. Naruto had been claiming him since they'd renewed their bond and Sasuke had enjoyed it more than he could say. But it felt good to feel Naruto's body squeezing him again…even if it was driving him crazy.

"All right, fine. So…let's talk about those rings."

"Earrings," Sasuke said without missing a beat.

"Oh, come on! Earrings are way more girly, if you think about it. Also, rings are more official. Gay couples wear them too!"

"I'm bi."

Naruto narrowed his eyes. "And I'm not gay at all. You're the exception. And you know what I mean, Teme."

Sasuke's eyes flashed. "I don't need some ring to tell me or you how I feel. I've never liked rings, and I have no intention of getting one now."

Naruto sighed and went quiet. Sasuke watched him sulk and pressed his lips in annoyance. "I love you. Why isn't knowing that enough?"

Naruto looked shocked…and not a little guilty. "It is enough. But…I've always…I mean, you're my family now and I wanted..." A blush stained the tanned cheeks and he looked away.

Sasuke softened instantly at the words. So his mate's always wanted to wear that sign of love women -and apparently, some men- were so fond of. A symbol of commitment, family, and possession.

If Sasuke were honest with himself, he would admit that he liked the idea of Naruto wearing anything that marked him as his so openly. And vice versa.

He eased his hold on the waist and stroked the blond's round ass absently. "I warn you Naruto...I'll be the one to choose the rings and the inscription."

Naruto's eyes snapped up to meet his, searching.

"It means a lot to you," he explained and arched a brow. He lay back on the bed, enjoying the barely-contained delight on his lover's face. "In any case, I might come to like them myself."

"And earrings. We'll get earrings too," Naruto said confidently, caressing Sasuke's hip and looking down at the Uchiha like he was his entire world.

Sasuke loved that look. He didn't think he could live without it. "I'll be in charge of those as well."

Naruto grinned. "So they won't say-?"

"No. It'll be simpler than that. Don't worry, you will approve."

Naruto looked skeptical, but he smiled. "All right. I trust you."

Sasuke let out a slow breath, and went up on his elbows. "Good. You can move."

The devilish look that entered Naruto's face made Sasuke feel a little disconcerted. He was almost certain he wouldn't be disgracing himself too early now, but the blond was so inventive…

All thoughts froze and dropped like bricks. Sasuke shook and let out a wordless yell. Naruto…Naruto was doing something with his ass…He couldn't explain it, but somehow the blond was milking and messaging him from within his body as he plunged over him in rapid movements.

Sasuke fell back and curled his toes into the sheets, holding back his cries with difficulty. The feel of Naruto's sweat-slicked body, of his balls slapping against his groin as he landed, of his ass doing that amazing thing it was doing…The Uchiha was just as close to coming as he was a moment ago. Fuck!

But he wasn't coming embarrassing early alone. He would have flipped Naruto on his stomach and taken him in his favored position, but Sasuke had no doubt he wouldn't last that long. So he lunged forward, tossing Naruto on his back and towering over him. Naruto blinked up at him in shock.

Muscles bunching with the strain of positioning his hips, Sasuke watched Naruto fidget under him. "I'm going to do my best to make you come in less than two minute. How do you feel about that?"

Naruto swallowed and his eyes glazed over. "As long as you come with me…"

"Believe me, if I could last, I would." Sasuke let out shaky breath, pulled back, and thrust in slowly, watching Naruto's face carefully. Naruto panted and his thighs shook. He did it again, watching precum beading and running down the straining shaft. He picked up the pace, making sure to thrust in that same angle, effectively hitting Naruto's sweet spot repeatedly.

Naruto kept panting and moaning. He grunted when Sasuke grabbed his cock and pumped him rapidly. Three stroked for each time he plunged into him. "Ah…No offense, but…Oh…it might take me longer than…Mmm! Ah, longer than two minutes…"

Naruto gasped and dug his head back into the mattress, his voice locking as Sasuke hunkered over him and hammered him with his hips. His ass and prostate were attacked mercilessly, his cock jerked and twisted aggressively and yet with just the right amount of force…

Naruto came instantly, silently and violently. He shook with the force of his orgasm, thighs spread and trembling, back arched and mouth gaping with a silent scream. Finally, he let out a keening cry as he felt Sasuke push in one last time and come inside him with a yell.

"Oh…God…" Naruto gasped, biting his fist to keep his cries in check. He would have kicked Sasuke if he could have, the bastard was chuckling in amusement.

"Still coming?" he asked knowingly, his voice a satisfied whisper even as he panted with exertion.

Naruto keened and curled his toes. Sasuke rolled onto his back, still inside him, and pulled the blond with him. He wrapped the younger man in his arms and stroked his back soothingly through his prolonged release. "It'll be over soon. The first time is the hardest to endure. I've got you," he murmured, pressing his lips to his lover's temple.

Naruto's body calmed slowly, the crippling pleasure zinging through his body now a tingling ache in his ass and cock. He relaxed quickly after that, going limp in his lover's arms. Sasuke held him fast, and Naruto snuggled into his lover's embrace with a growl. He felt Sasuke smile against his hair and smiled back. He didn't think it was possible to be happier than he was now, where he was now.

He was half-asleep when Sasuke spoke: "I love you, dobe."

His smile returned, and Naruto sighed in contentment and licked the Uchiha's jaw affectionately. "I love you too, Teme."

Hiding in the bushes was the best that he could think of when something as weird as that crossed his path.

Kiba watched the two men walk by languidly, like they didn't have a care in the world. He stifled a shocked laugh when Sasuke pulled the blond against him and nuzzled his cheek. The hell! That couldn't be Sasuke. Sasuke didn't do tenderness, and he sure as hell didn't look that happy and relaxed. Ever.

Naruto laughed and turned his head to get a kiss instead, and Kiba watched, stunned, as the Uchiha gave him a long, tender kiss without hesitation, and stroked the blond's cheek with one hand.

Holy fuck! Was that a ring?

It glinted silver in the light, and…well, he must be in an alternate dimension because Sasuke was wearing a small hoop earring too. He'd heard the two were officially an item, but this?

Kiba's heart squeezed painfully and he was more aware than ever of how much he missed Shino. The stubborn if-I'm-not-you're-boyfriend-I'm-nothing bastard. Kiba was not ready for that sort of talk, damn it. Being his best friend's lover was a lot to take in as it was…

Sasuke and Naruto seemed completely okay with it, though. Hm.

He nearly jumped out of his skin when Kakashi materialized upside down over his head. Thankfully, the two couple had moved off deeper into the forest and didn't hear his squeak.

"Adorable, isn't it?" the older man said, his eye smiling.

Kiba looked around and glared at the man. "I wouldn't call it adorable, but yeah...I guess so."

Kakashi leapt and landed on his feet on the ground. "Did you know that their rings and earrings are inscribed?"

Kiba blinked and shook his head silently. "How do you know that?"

Kakashi gave him a cool look and the Inuzuka snorted in amusement. "Okay, okay. What does it say?" All-knowing bastard.

The older man shrugged and twisted around neatly before starting to walk away. "A good ninja can find that out for himself."

Kiba stared after him dumbly. "What? Now that's bullshit. Why did you tell me about it then?"Kiba shook his fist angrily and leapt after the older man, unsuccessfully harassing him for an answer.

Two simple words were used; one for the earring, and another for the ring. Both rings had a matching 'only' written across the top.

The earring was another matter. It was meant to have the first word of a small sentence, of which the second was on the ring. Sasuke's earing, placed on his right ear, read 'Naruto's', and Naruto's earring, on his left, read 'Sasuke's'.

Naruto's only, and Sasuke's only.

Direct, possessive, and completely true.

The End…

So this wasn't that much different from the earlier version, but it was different enough that I like it better. Mush anyone? Lol!

But this is officially over. And I will miss it –weep- I do look forward to writing the second part. You'll find out who it is when it comes out.

I plan to begin the next part in a month or two. I need to write a few other things before I start (I've been neglecting all my other stuff. Woops –blush-) Also, since I finished Forbidden Best Friend, I've been eating up books. Reading to death. My friend calls me crazy for it. What can I say? I love books, Especially gay romance. Yum!

And review please! I enjoy and eat up reviews anytime, ESPECIALLY after a fic is done. It gets me going on other fics (Seriously. I'm a sucker that way. Heh)
