Alone..

Lonely. That's how I felt.

I knew he felt it too.

It wasn't just coming home to an empty house or having no one you could confide in. It's just, there was hollowness, a sort of painful awareness that we were alone.

We each dealt with it differently. But no matter how it was handled, we were both guarded. He never let anything hurt him and instead just brushed off anything with a laugh or joke. You couldn't tell how he felt on the inside unless you felt the same way. Endured the same loneliness.

Maybe that's why I took a walk outside, even though it was pouring. It was better than listening to the sound of silence in your home. After only two minutes in the rain, I was soaked to the bone, even with the jacket I was wearing. But it didn't matter. Not the weight of my clothes or the pelting of freezing water on my skin. My feet took me somewhere I knew I should avoid but felt myself being drawn there anyway. It was ridiculous. We were never friends. In fact, we downright disliked each other. But for some reason, my knuckles rapped gently on the door and half of me hoped he would answer it.

The other half wished the knocking was drowned out by the rain.

The door opened. Azure eyes looked quasi-concerned and I was ushered in. Naruto was wearing only pants and it seemed I had caught him mid-undress. I took off my jacket, and after surveying the messy but not dirty surroundings, I put it on the stairs banister.

"Sasuke..." My head turned silently, eyes meeting the blonde next to me. His voice made me inwardly shiver, a soft but firm voice that half caressed my name. "You should get changed into something dry."

"Hn." I looked down at my damp clothes and the puddle they were now forming on his quite lovely wooden floor. I was beginning to wonder why I was here in the first place.

"I probably have something you can borrow." His hand tugged at my wrist and I silently followed him upstairs. For someone who always seemed like he hated my guts, it was now the antithesis of his current actions- concerned and caring. I stood in the middle of his bedroom. He was rummaging through his closet, and I caught a sight of those god-awful orange things he wore. I wondered how I'd fit into anything of his when he was so much smaller than I. He was of slight build and he lacked in the height department. "Here." He pulled out an oversized white T-shirt that said 'Strength is Power' on the front.

"Thanks." I took the shirt from him, tearing off my own and slipping it on. It felt comfortable against my skin and...it smelled like him. All sunshine with something darker and sweeter. I don't know what it was specifically, but it made my body warm. And I suddenly realized I'm being stared at. "What, dobe?"

"N-nothing." Naruto stuttered a little. "I was going to go to sleep, but you can have the bed and I'll sleep on the couch." This was one of those times that I acted without thought. Even as I was going to reach out my hand to stop him, he halted, seeing my motion out of the corner of his eye. "What is it?"

"Would it be too much trouble if you didn't go downstairs? I just want to talk, and I don't mind sharing the bed."

Naruto smiled, genuinely, and to my surprise I fell in love with his smile. "Sure," he replied, and we both climbed into bed. I got onto my back and put my hands behind my head. "Well, shoot."

"Doesn't it suck being all alone in this house?" Even without looking directly at him, I could practically feel him fumbling for an answer. It was like someone was actually trying to break down that wall he built around himself.

"I don't mind. Not at all, in fact." His voice was forced calm and happy, but I could hear a slight waver. "Living on my own was something I've done from a very young age. It's just something you get used to."

Bullshit. No one ever gets used to painful silence.

I should know.

I turned my head to the side, and Naruto was laying there with his eyes closed. I turned my head away, lest I take leave of all the iron control I had and lose the battle of willpower.

Even though I knew I lost when I knocked on the front door of his house. When I first laid eyes on him. When I turned back over and pressed my lips softly on his shoulder and heard a soft "Mm..."

"Naruto I-"

"Please Sasuke," Naruto's voice was trembling, and I could feel the shivers in his frame. I gave a firmer kiss to the base of his neck, and felt the body writhe beneath mine, and I was aware that I had half climbed onto him. I lifted my head, and his sky blue eyes made my heart flutter, those orbs filled with some sort of desperation.

"What do you want?"

"I don't want to be alone anymore." The plea made me freeze; it made a wave of pleasure curl in my stomach.

I guess we were both desperate.

I bent my head and bit his lower lip, feeling the fullness and softness of it between my teeth. He probably gasped softly, but in the silence it sounded a lot louder, and to my mind a lot more sensual. My tongue tasted the line between his lips, and they immediately parted with a quiet moan. He was so responsive, but that came with the neediness. And I needed him as much. I swiped my tongue into his mouth, pressed it against his, and slowly stroked. Naruto's shaky whimper and the way he responded by hazily kissing back, it made me even more desperate. Oh, I wanted him so badly. Our tongues clashed, mingled, fought- his taste filled my mouth. I let go of his mouth and could feel his hot breath on my face as he panted. His face was flushed a lovely red shade, and his sapphire eyes had a darker look to them. His hands grabbed one of mine, leading it down his stomach to his- ohmygoodness- hot erection, straining in his pants between his thighs. He made my fingers curl around it, and his back arched slightly. My hand cupped it and squeezed, and he hissed in pleasure. "Sasuke, nnnh, I'm sorry," he whispered breathlessly. "C-can you..."

My mind reeled, and I licked one of his whiskered cheeks. "Where do you keep the-"

"Oh..." Naruto's eyes momentarily focused. "Um...I have some in the bathroom cabinet." I got off of the bed and walked across the room into the joined bathroom. I wondered if that's where he masturbated. Or maybe he did it in the bed, where we were just both on- his legs would be splayed, lips parted in a half gasp, he'd grab his cock with one hand and probably run his thumb over the head with his other.

I got the lube in one hand and turned back to the bedroom, a little nervous as I climbed back into bed. This was my first time ever doing...this, and I'm sure it's the same for him. I must have been frozen in the bed for longer than I though, because he sat up and kissed my cheek gently.

"I won't break, I promise," Naruto murmured.
