Naruto was the life of the party.

Sasuke came to realization thirty minutes after they arrived at his house. The blond had been introduced as one of Sasuke's new « friend », and it had taken the blond two minutes to make a new friend out of a stranger. If at first the brunet had thought Naruto would be all depressed and downcast at the party, he had been terribly wrong. As soon as they had stepped in the house, Naruto had wiped away any trace of sadness from his face and had started to introduce himself to everyone. And by « everyone », Sasuke meant literally everyone. He had fluttered from one group to another, and though there weren't that much people (Sasuke wasn't the sort of guy to throw huge parties, even if this one wasn't exactly his), it had taken Naruto about fifteen minutes to know everyone by their name or nickname, while it had taken Sasuke two weeks to do the same (though he hadn't put much effort in it either). Naruto was not a shy person, that was for sure. He was easy-going and apparently pretty funny, since every single person he had talked to had burst out laughing at least twice.

Time passed by faster than lighting, but from time to time, Naruto would come back to Sasuke and casually talk to him about one thing or another, before going back to knowing the people around him. In some way, it reassured Sasuke he didn't know why, but having Naruto come back to him made him special, as if all the people around Naruto couldn't erase him from the boy's memory. As if he was important enough to be check on every ten minutes or so. It made him feel... precious ? Maybe. It was a good feeling.

Sasuke sat outside, on his previous spot, while Naruto navigated between the garden to talk to Sasuke and a few people sitting with him, and inside the big white house, where he had met Kiba, a brown-haired man around his age, with who he had instantly clicked.

It wasn't the same kind of connection he had felt with Sasuke, it was more something along the lines of ...instant friendship ? They had a lot in common, played the same video games, listened to the same music, loved the same kind of food and did the same sports. And eventhough Naruto had stopped talking to the guy for a while, turning around and meeting all of the others at the party, he ended up coming back to Sasuke or Kiba everytime.

It was weird, how in one night he had met two people who would probably change his life.

Kiba was like a sort of soulmate, in a friendly way. They had already planned to go surfing together, they wanted to go bowling, and they had also decided to go scuba diving next week, maybe with Sasuke and Ino if they were in the mood. Kiba was about his height, probably around his weight. He and Kiba were both pretty athletic, and they both felt completely at ease around each other. It had been sudden, but Naruto wouldn't have it any other way.

The guy was amazing to wrestle with because he wouldn't hold back his strengh, and Naruto desperatly needed a sparing partner. They both had taken Kung Fu classes when they were younger, but hadn't find any club in Dubai, and hadn't been able to practice since they had arrived. That's probably the reason why they had both jumped on each other and tried to kill the other as soon as the mention of the word « Kung Fu » had been pronouced. They had wanted to test the other, to see how good they really were. They had began the fight in the house, and Ino had gently (but firmly) suggested they take the fight outside, just for the safety of the furniture. And that's how Kiba had ended up head first in the pool. That's also how Naruto had ended up falling ungraciously in it as well, after Kiba pulled his right foot backwards, by the ankle. Naruto kept saying he hadn't been prepared and that was the reason why he had fallen for a poor attack like this one, but Sasuke knew better. The idiot had been looking at him after pushing Kiba in the water, an arrogant smile taking place on the tan features when he had caught Sasuke staring at him intently, envy and desire written all over his face. He had been caught by surprise when Kiba had pulled him in the water because he had been busy observing the handsome face of the man he had impressed.

Sasuke was his second soulmate. But in a not-so-friendly way. It was friendly, but it was also beyond that point. It was like wild fire running through his veins everytime their eyes caught, burning him alive. There was no such thing with Kiba. Sasuke was everything Naruto wasn't. Yet everything he wanted, one way or another, to be. The man was his match, period. Naruto just knew it. Shikamaru had never, ever made him feel the way Sasuke made him feel.

He floated around from one person to another, very conscious of Sasuke's stare boring into his back. It was nice, having someone who genuinely focused all of his attention on him, not just because he was a fuck buddy, but because the other truely wanted to. He didn't know what Sasuke and himself were exactly, but he couldn't wait to know. It was surprising, fun, exciting. Everytime they talked, Sasuke made sure his hands were lingering somewhere on the tan body, as if to reassure him that he was there, and that there was no reason to be sad, not anymore. It made him feel precious, appreciated for who he truely was. It made him feel... loved ? Maybe he was adventuring himself on dangerous grounds, and he probably shouldn't try to do so. But just when he'd start to freak out, Sasuke would look at him and he would forget everything.

By the time four hit the clock, most of Ino and Sasuke's friends had left, leaving the house trashed and silent. Naruto was wandering around in the house, searching for Sasuke once again. As the brunet wasn't on the terrace anymore, Naruto had decided to go and take a look around the house to find his host. He went accross some people quietly speaking on sofas, sometimes even on the floor, looking somewhat drunk.

Taking a look took longer than he thought. The house was huge, and he had to zigzag between the trash and untitled weird stuff laying down on the floor. Sasuke hadn't been wrong when he had said he was crazy for hosting this party. The house was in an apocalyptical state. Like a bomb had exploded in the living room or something.

Not finding who he was searching for downstairs, Naruto decided to take his research up, so he climbed up the stairs and walked straight through the corridor, up to the door facing the stairs. There were three other doors on the side of the corridor, all closed. He had to begin somewhere anyway, so he carefully opened the first door, hoping he wouldn't find two people going at it somewhere in the room. The place was silent and plunged in darkness, though when he eyes adjusted, he noticed the bedroom wasn't entirely pitch black. A light entered the room by high french doors opposite where he was standing. Closing the door behind him, Naruto silently walked to the big windows and opened them, letting the fresh night air invade the room. The doors opened on a balcony, so he stepped out of the room and on the hard tiling covered in sand. It seemed obvious to him that whoever owned that room barely ever got out here. It seemed like the balcony had never been used, there was at least two inches of sand on the floor, and no footprints whatsoever that could indicate someone stepped foot on it. A glass barrier on the lengh of the balcony prevented anyone from falling off, and the corners holding the glass were made of hard black metal. In front of the glass and on Naruto's right, three long chairs were disposed, but there was no sign that they had been used recently.

The view was extraordinary, and he couldn't figure out why no one used the balcony. Had it been his, he would've cleaned the whole area and put some nice sofas and lights out there. It was the ideal place to hang out with friends. If this really was Sasuke's room, Naruto would make sure to tell him just that. He had almost forgotten what he had came upstairs to for in the first place, but now he couldn't bring himself to get back in. The house smelled of alcohol and smoke, and he didn't really enjoy the latter (he could be a little bit contradictory). Deciding that Sasuke could wait longer, he took a sit on one of the long chairs and layed on it, spreading his legs in front of him, and resting his head on the cushion underneath. The mat was very comfortable, and the blond found himself closing his eyes slowly. He tried to stay awake, but could barely make out the white dots covering the night sky. In a flash of consciousness, he thought it was a beautiful night.

He woke up to something softly touching his face, and wasn't sure if he was imagining it or not. He blinked away the sleep, trying to win the fight against the blissfullness of unconsciousness. He opened his eyes, meeting with pitch black ones, staring at him with tenderness.

« So this is where you were hiding ? » Asked Sasuke's deep voice, stroking Naruto's cheek with his thumb. The blond opened his eyes enough to notice it was still nightime, though the sky had started to clear up a little, and he guessed he hadn't been sleeping for more than an hour.

Still half asleep, Naruto grunted something the brunet didn't get, then grabbed onto the pale hand on his face, and held it tight, closing his eyes once more. Sasuke sighed, slightly amused by Naruto's childish behaviour, approached his lips from Naruto's right ear, and whispered slowly.

« It's not that I need my hand or anything, but you're cutting the blood circulation here, and I just thought we could take the nice little nap you're having in an actual bed, where you'd be comfortable. »

« I am comfortable » was the muffled answer he recieved, making him roll his eyes. He didn't move though, afraid to shake Naruto awake. With his trapped hand, he rubbed circles on the hand holding his, while he brushed the blond hair away from the tan face. It was frustrating, because Naruto's hair was quite long, but not enough to make it stay behind his ear. It needed at least two or three centimeters more. So Sasuke kept pushing it back, and it kept coming back on Naruto's head. The gesture softened when the brunet gave up, and he settled on stroking the cheek instead.

« You're not making anything easier, Naruto », whispered Sasuke for himself, looking upon the body sprayled for his eyes to enjoy. He smiled to himself, thinking that the initial dreadful night he had been sure he would have had, had turned into something different, something much more interesting, he thought as he gazed at the blond. He yawned, and tried to get up, his arm still prisoner of Naruto's hold. He tugged at his arm once, twice. That would not work. He was caught in a deathly grip, and he wouldn't be able to get his arm off without waking Naruto up.

Oh well.

Naruto woke to the feeling of the hot sun warming his skin, turning his vision red. He was hot, terribly so. He tugged his blanket down, just to feel the fresh air of his roo- wait.

He had fallen asleep on the long chair. With absolutely no blanket. So why did he have one over his body now ?

« I didn't want you to get a cold. Nights can get pretty chilly here. » Startled by the voice, he turned his head to see Sasuke lying there of the other chair, a book in his hands and an earplug in his left ear. Now completely awoken, Naruto pushed the blanket to the side and streched, looking at Sasuke with obvious curiousity.

« You stayed here the whole night ? » he asked, feeling guilty all of a sudden.

« Well, you were holding my arm like a leech for at least two hours, so I did spend most of the night at your side. And when you gave it back to me to roll to the other side, I picked up these (he pointed to his iPod and his book) and came back. Didn't feel like sleeping. » Didn't want to leave you alone, chanted Sasuke's mind, and the brunet quickly tossed the thought aside. This wasn't a thought he was ready to deal with just yet.

Naruto looked at his hands, obviously feeling bad for forcing Sasuke to stay up all night.

« What time is it ? » he asked slowly, still looking down on his lap.

« 9 am. You didn't sleep a lot. »

« Why didn't you bring me in the room ? »

« Should I have ? I didn't want to frighten you by moving you to my bed. You'd think we... » He trailed off, suddenly thoughtful.

« ...Oh. » Realization dawned to Naruto and Sasuke laughed, popping the other earplug out. « Right. So we didnt't... » Naruto gestured awkwardly between them both, making Sasuke arch an eyebrow.

« No, we 'did' not. I wouldn't want you to forget this, Naruto. » Murmured Sasuke, staring at him intently, making the blond blush slightly.

« Right... » said Naruto, looking anywhere but in Sasuke's eyes. « What were you listening to ? » he decided to change the subject, not feeling as bold and seductive as he had the night before. He had had a lot to drink, and he felt like he had done things he normally would have never done. Yet he didn't regret it. He just didn't know how to make this less awkward. Although it seemed like he was the only one feeling the awkwardness. Sasuke seemed just fine. As ever.

« Bad things, by Jace Everett. I thought it was very appropriate for this situation. » Naruto went crimson. He knew the song. He knew every word. And it made him hot to think Sasuke would make this song 'their' song. Was there even a possibility of a 'their' ? Shaking his head, he noticed that Sasuke had a dangerous grin on his face, as if he was eating him up already. Maybe he was ?

Deciding it was way to complicated to think, especially when Sasuke looked at him this way, and when he did not seem to want to get rid of the blond, Naruto thought it was time to stop blushing and start being his usual self. It was ridiculous. He did not have to feel awkward at all. They had both been adults consenting to this. Dry humping on the beach. No need for awkward.

Right.

« Want to eat something ? » asked Sasuke.

And just like that, Naruto was out of the chair and ready to go, any thought of awkwardness thrown out of the window.

« Sure ! » he exclaimed, taking Sasuke's hand in his and giving him an impulse to jump out of his seat. The brunet smiled, feeling the change in Naruto's behavior, and apparently pleased by the not-so-tense-anymore atmosphere. Sasuke didn't let go of his host's hand and took the lead, dragging a very happy blond behind him.

Everything seemed to go perfectly fine... that is until Naruto turned his head slightly to the side and noticed the bed. He let go of Sasuke's hand and slowly made his way to the king sized bed situated on the right of the room. Halfway, Naruto turned his head toward the brunet, sending him a amusing yet questioning look, an eyebrow raised, before looking back on the bed. Stopping in front of it, Naruto managed to keep his cool a little longer. He pursued his lips together, desperatly trying not to laugh.

« ...Sasuke ? » He said in a shaking, unsure voice. The brunet stood just beside him, looking embarassed.

« Is that... I mean... are those... » He took a glump of air before bluring out : « Pokemon sheets ? ».

Then he lost it.

Naruto hunched on himself, laughing incontrolably, hysterically. This was fucking hilarious !

Sasuke scratched his neck with his right hand, feeling really embarassed. Yes, he loved Pokemon, and he normaly wouldn't be ashamed... but those sheets weren't exactly what one could call « manly ». Those were Jigglypuff sheets. His favorite Pokemon of all time. Damn him.

And suddenly, when Sasuke started to wish he could dissapear in a hole (no pun intended), he was pulled on the floor by his ankle. He fell not-so-graciously on the carpet where Naruto was still laughing, eyes sparkling, cheeks stirred by tears.

« I'm sorry », managed to choke out Naruto, still laughing, « I have a tendency to cry when I laugh. »

Sasuke raised an eyebrow, effectively shutting Naruto up. Smiling like a mad man, the blond got on all fours, made his way on top of Sasuke and looked him straight in the eyes. He quickly lifted his hand and got rid of the last tears.

« It can be confusing, indeed. » Let out Sasuke, looking in the blue eyes with interest, and still a bit of shame. Naruto laughed again, and bent down to meet Sasuke's nose. « So, you like Jigglypuff ? » he teased, and was rewarded by a red blush on Sasuke's face.

« Shut u-» the brunet was cut by Naruto's mouth on his, and suddenly it didn't matter anymore that he was a fan of Jigglypuff. It didn't matter that he barely had had any sleep. It didn't matter that he would have to clean up his house for hours. It didn't matter that his brother was an ass. It. Just. Didn't. Matter.

Nothing mattered but Naruto's talented mouth moving to shape his lips. Tongue met tongue, and Sasuke moaned loudly. Just like that, the blond's whole attitude changed. In a nanosecond, he went from playful-and-funny to seriously-aroused-I-want-to-do-you mode. His eyes softened and he wasn't laughing anymore. There still was a spark of amusement in his eyes, but it was hidden under all the desire swirling in them as well. Naruto moved back and stared into black eyes, searching.

Sasuke di Naruto turned his head toward tHe pursued his lips together, desperatly trying not to laugh.

y, Naruto turned his head toward tdn't say anything. He moved his hand to Naruto's neck and stroked the hair he found there, gazing back into blue eyes, giving them the answer the blond was asking for. Here, take it, take it all. You had me at the first look.

Naruto was still fidgeting, unsure of his next move. Should he kiss Sasuke ? Should they go further ? Was it allowed to make love to someone when you didn't know him at all ? Would Sasuke agree ? What if he was shit compared to Sasuke's other partners ? The thought annoyed him. He didn't want to think about Sasuke with others. But what if he didn't live to Sasuke's expectation ? Could he just stop ? Would Sasuke feel rejected ? Would they regret it if they did ? If they didn't ? He was stopped in his thoughts when Sasuke pulled him down by his neck and kissed him hard.

Oh fuck.

He kissed back with a fierceness he didn't know he had and ran his hands down the pale arms and back up again in a stroking motion. The feeling of the soft skin was making him hot. Sasuke had a smooth skin. Made for kisses and caresses. And hickeys. He nipped at the firm jaw and continued down to the brunet's neck, softly biting and releasing the skin he found there, smiling when Sasuke dropped his head on the floor, moaning loudly.

He liked it. Sasuke was very receptive, and it made him want more. Still occupied with the neck, Naruto dropped his hips on Sasuke's, but didn't stop this time. They weren't at the beach. They were in a private house, on the private carpet of Sasuke's private room. And it was happening.

Naruto had lost it at Sasuke's first moaning. He was on fire, touching and discovering every bit of his partner's body. Clothes flew out of sight in a matter of seconds, and soon they were back where they had left off the day before. Expect they were dry humping on a carpet, and wore nothing but skin. Which didn't bother any of the two men. They couldn't be happier.

« Sasuke... » Started Naruto, obviously trying to say something that got caught in Sasuke's mouth, their lips connecting once again. Naruto didn't bother to try and finish his sentence.

Everything felt so much more intense than what it usually felt like. They were in perfect symbiose. Or so it seemed like. It seemed so obvious to both of them, what to do, were to touch the other male to make him feel good, how to show him what pleased them. It was like playing an instrument for the first time and knowing instantly that it was what you were made for. They just knew. And it was scary, because the feeling was reciprocated.

Sasuke flipped Naruto over and straddled him, amazed by how arousing it was to just stand on top of Naruto. He kissed the full lips and the lean torso, continuing his journey down the tan body. The noises he recieved from his every touch made him feel powerful. He had control over Naruto's body. He could do whatever. Following the blond happy trail, he didn't wait to take Naruto in his mouth, making the blond's breath hitch. He smiled and took him entirely, getting back up slowly, tongue flatening on Naruto's cock. Naruto opened his mouth silently, closing his eyes and arching up his back. This was feeling too good.

« Sasuke... » he choked out, cut out when Sasuke nipped a little to strongly at the head.

« Shhh... » the brunet said, smirking.

And Naruto shut up. There wasn't much he could do, really. The feelings he experienced were too strong to even think, so speaking seemed like a very un-wise thing to try, if he didn't want to let out a very embarassing sound.

Finally, when Naruto felt like he was coming close to Heaven's gate, Sasuke stopped his wicked ministrations. Falling down, Naruto protested, and went to claim Sasuke's mouth, because he wanted to fly again, and everything about Sasuke made him rise. Sasuke didn't complain, and sighed happily into the kiss as he gave Naruto his heart.

But it wasn't enough. He wanted more.

He thought about moving this thing to his bed, but finding it too troublesome, he decided that the carpet was comfortable, and that it would do perfectly.

Preparing Naruto was an easy task. The blond never said anything about the way they would do it. It just happened that way. Maybe another time it would be different.

And as Sasuke slide in Naruto, the world became full of possibilities. Everything was right and perfect. He knew that with Naruto by his side, he would do anything. He plunged forward to bite Naruto's neck as he moved inside slowly, resting his upper weight onto his elbows, on each side of the blond's arms.

« Sasuke ! »

Golden arms shot up and grabbed Sasuke's arms, squeezing tightly. The brunet looked at Naruto, only to find him all tense, blue eyes fixed on his own black ones.

« Continue that thing... with your mouth, please... » was Naruto's plea. He then closed his eyes and let the feelings get the better of him. Sasuke was doing incredible things to his body. How could he know everything that turned him on ?

The pale mouth went from Naruto's neck to his ear, trailing a path with his nose, his tongue, his lips, sometimes nipping at the collarbone. The combination between that and the long and hard thursts made him feel dizzy with pleasure.

He was once again at Heaven's Gate, but this time, Sasuke was with him.

« Ah ! Oh my God... Sas'ke ! Ah ! »

Naruto couldn't keep quiet. Sasuke was just too good to be true. Each thurst send him sirectly flying with the angels, his prostate used and abused in an amazing way.

The brunet was a bit quieter, moaning every time Naruto squeezed him. He didn't talk, but there was no need for words. Naruto was giving him indications and that was all he needed to pleasure his partner, climbing as fast as Naruto was. The blond was everything Sasuke loved in a partner : vocal, active, and absolutely not embarassed to show him what to do.

So when he increased his thursts, feeling his climax coming, he didn't need to ask if Naruto was close. He could hear it.

Naruto had by then long pasted the Heaven's gate, he was further up, to a place he couldn't name. He knew Sasuke knew his end was coming, he kept squeezing Sasuke's cock, telling him where to aim, and how Sasuke was too good at this.

When Naruto came, Sasuke followed immediatly, his orgasm triggered by Naruto's.

It took them some time to get down from their high, and when they did, Sasuke lifted Naruto and put him in his bed, ignoring Naruto's smirk as he snuggled into the Jigglypuff pillow. They laid down for a while, half asleep, half observing each other.

Naruto had his head on Sasuke's shoulder, the pale arm possessively wrapped up around the blond. The other pale arm was resting on Naruto's torso, absentmindly drawing patterns on the hot skin with his finger. Naruto's left hand lay on top of the pale one hugging him while the right one rested underneath his head.

The blond couldn't tell how long they stayed like that, maybe thirty minutes, maybe more. They were both so comfortable, laying there together, and neither wanted to move.

He liked cuddling after sex anyway, so he wasn't going to be the one complaining here.

« GRUMPPPLL ».

Damn stomach.

« You hungry ? » asked Sasuke in the warm throat, his breath and lips tickling Naruto's neck. The blond didn't answer, shook his head instead, sighing into the pillow. He didn't want to move. He felt so amazing, right now.

« GRUUUUUUMPPLLL ».

But hunger was a pain in the ass.

« Let's go downstairs. »

Sasuke untangled his arms and legs from Naruto's, and sat up on the edge on the bed. He stayed like that for a while, considering going back to bed with the living furnace or actually getting up and make breakfast...hrrm... lunch ? Brunch, he decided as he looked at the alarm clock on his bedside table. He felt the bed jump up as Naruto left the comfort of the mattress to pick up his boxers and shorts scattered on the carpet. The blond did not bother to pick up his shirt. He had nothing to hide.

Sasuke stood up and went to his closet, chosing a white shirt with some cargo pants. No boxers.

Well, Naruto wasn't a man to complain for such trivial details. In fact, he encouraged them.

« Ready to go ? » the brunet asked, opening the door.

« Sure am ! » Naruto danced to the door, stealing a kiss before running down the corridor and down the stairs.

« Well... don't wait for me... » mumbled Sasuke, closing the door, then stopping mid-way. Huh. He needed to open the french doors, let some air get in. He wasn't fond of sex-smell lingering around in his room. He got back in the room, opened the windows wide and smiled. Hot, dry air englufed in the room. This felt nice. It would be terribly hot when they would get back, but at lest the air would be fresh. New. Free of unwanted... « stuff ».

When he got down the stairs, he could hear people talking. Who was still in his house ? He hated when that happened ! He walked briskly to the kitchen, feeling ready to yell.

And... he stopped dead when he noticed who exactly was there. Tension left his shoulder.

Gaara. Neji. Naruto.

Pfiu.

He had thought they would already be gone. He entered the kitchen, walked up to the fridge, took the Innocent Kiwi Apple Lime juice and poured himself a drink.

« Anyone want some ? » he asked around, shrugging and putting the juice back when all three ignored him. He sat at the table in the gigantic kitchen, and listened to Naruto arguing over eggs with his two other friends.

« No. No. You can 't just turn an egg like that to make it a poached egg. You don't understand. That's how to do it. » And with all the grace that he had been gifted with, Naruto flipped the egg upside down. It was a perfect round egg. He had succeeded. Mission accomplished. He decided to take care of the sausages and red beans and searched in the kitchen for the food.

« Fine, whatever you say », answered the redhead, shrugging his shoulder and walking to the table where Sasuke was seated, letting Naruto take care of the rest. The brunet just sat down, waiting for food to come his way. « Hey there, Sas'ke. Sleep well ? »

Sasuke send Naruto a weird look before answering. « Very well, Gaara. You ? »

« Couldn't have been be better », Gaara answered, smirking like a madman.

« Glad to hear that, though I believe it was too much information. »

« Only if your imagination is perverted. »

« Hn. »

Neji took some plates out of the cupboard and put them on the table, along with silverware and glasses. Then he sat down. And waited.

« ... Am I supposed to be the maid here ? », asked Naruto, standing behind the furnaces, alone. With everyone else sitting down and looking at him expectantly. Three pairs of eyebrows raised, and Naruto sighed. He couldn't deal with this shit.

« Okay, okay, I get it. Whatever. » Naruto took the pan containing the eggs and served everyone. One his way back to the stove, he felt a hand on his ass. This was not a coincidence, he decided when he saw Sasuke's half smile behind him.

« Here, let me help you », said Sasuke, turning the stove off and picking up the second frying pan, letting Naruto pick up the third one.

When everyone had beans and sausages and bread on their plates, Naruto and Sasuke sat down side by side and they started to eat.

« So, » started the blond. « You guys knew Sasuke was a fan of Jigglypuff ? »

Sasuke spilted his juice accross the table, before squezzing Naruto's thigh. Hard. « Don't. »

« Jigglypuff ? » asked Neji. « You mean... the useless pink pokemon ? »

« Yup », answered the blond, unaffected by Sasuke's hand on his thigh. He was confident the brunet wouldn't hurt him. « That one. He has Jigglypuff sheets. Pink. That's a nice way of showing off his masculinity, right ? »

« I think I showed you my masculinity a whole different way, Naruto. » answered Sasuke matter-of-factly, while moving his hand up Naruto's thigh, close to his crotch. Naruto wouldn't win this game.

« Okay, » said Neji as the blond blushed a weird kind of red, « that's enough information, we do NOT want to hear about your sex life. »

« I don't mind », admitted Gaara while stuffing his face with a piece of toast.

« Conversation over, you win, Sasuke », cut in Naruto, not wanting to get to the sex discussion around breakfast. Lunch. Whatever this was.

Sasuke smirked, satisfied, and moved his hand even further up. Naruto jumped in his chair, before freezing. He would not react. He would not react. He picked up his sausage and eat it. Slowly. Concentrating on his task, and not on Sasuke's hand. He would not react. Not even when Sasuke started to move his fingers over the blond's inner thigh, and under Naruto's boxers, slowly creeping up to. Oh God. Okay. Stay still, Naruto, eveyrthing is...Oh. My. Fucking. God.

Sasuke's fingers were touching his balls, under the table. And the brunet looked perfectly collected, eating his food with his other hand, and speaking with the two others. How did he manage that ? Naruto couldn't look up his plate. His hands were frozen. He couldn't listen to whatever conversation they were having. He was gonna have a boner.

He could handle this.

Or...not.

« I am never eating next to you again. » Repeated Naruto as they walked down the beach back to Sakura's house.

« If you say so. » Answered the brunet in what sounded like a bored voice. But he wasn't bored. Truth was, he was scared. They were dangerously approaching the house and he would have to leave the blond by himself. But he wanted him by his side. He sort of... fell in love ?

What that even possible ? Never in his life had he considered he'd fall in love with a stranger. Not so fast. It had been a fantasy of his, some sort of dream... but for it to happen made it all so complicated. He had thought things would have flown easily, because when two people share love, it can only be easy. Yet here he was, dreading the moment he's have to say 'bye', without any proof that he would see Naruto again. Because he didn't know if Naruto and himself « shared love ». This was stupid. His beliefs had been built on sand, and now it was all falling apart. He had thought he would know that the other person had feelings as well... but looking at the blonde right now, he had NO idea what the guy was thinking.

He was bothered, because Naruto seemed completely unaffected by this whole situation. There he was, talking and walking like life was beautiful.

But life sucked. Because Sasuke was going to have to leave Naruto, and he would never see him again.

The blond seemed to understand something was wrong, because he suddenly stopped talking.

« Sasuke ? » he asked, unsure. « Why did you stop ? »

The brunet looked into his partner's magnificent blue eyes, realizing he had, indeed, stopped dead. He stood there like an idiot.

And apparently, Naruto wasn't as stupid as he let it seemed, because he went and grabbed the pale hand, then tugged it a little forward. « Sasuke ? I'm not going anywhere. You know I want this. »

« I don't. » Mumbled Sasuke, looking away. Damn this !

« Well now you know. » continued Naruto, unaffected by the brunet's tone of voice. « Stop being so unsecure. I'm gonna go home, you have my number, my facebook, everything you need to reach me, and I'll see you again. Soon. » He closed the distance between them and kissed the high cheek, then the corner of the mouth. « Don't worry ».

Sasuke didn't answer. He had trouble believing Naruto. Who would want to keep in touch with a one night stand ? Although technically they had met a little longer than a night.

« Sasuke. » Naruto's tone was serious. The man tried to focus on the sun-tanned face and the piercing blue eyes. He listened. « I don't know what this is. Whatever it is that happened between us. I just know I don't want it to stop. I am not going to disappear forever, Sasuke. I feel it. That something. That something that I know you're feeling too. And I want to know where it leads us. Though I'm pretty sure I already know. » He smiled kindly and tightened his grip around the pale fingers, passing the message.

Then he leaned in and kissed Sasuke fiercely, his other hand making its way under Sasuke's shirt and on the warm skin of his hip.
