Life's Little Changes

Sasuke looked panicked, hell, he was panicked as he began to shove a confused blond through the pool.

“Get out. Get out. Hurry up, idiot.”

Naruto couldn’t see what was so scary about the other teenager, well aside from his loud voice and those… eyebrows…

Was it possible for a person to have eyebrows like that?!

“Lee, what was that my youthfully energetic son?”

Suddenly there was not one but two heads with the most awful bowl-cut hairstyles Naruto had ever seen in his life!

“Sasuke, wha…?”

But he was shoved to the steps and dragged out, Sasuke almost in a panic.

“Father! Sasuke is engaging in the joys of youth, leaving his childhood behind to become an adult with the one that has captured his youthful heart!”

“Ah! Sasuke! This is wonderful news! We should come over and celebrate your crossing into adulthood!”

“NO!”

Was it possible for the Uchiha to become even paler?! Naruto was finding out that the answer was yes, and why hadn’t he been warned they had neighbors recently released from the looney bin?

Now it was the blond in the lead for the door to safety, also known as the attached bathroom, living where he had, he had seen plenty of less than sane people and these had all his warning bells screaming!

With a loud slam, that was actually surprising in the fact that no windows were shattered, both boys leaned against the door, panting hard as the fear left their bodies, obsidian meeting blue and both chuckling at the absurdity of the situation.

“Why… why didn’t you tell me… crazy people lived… next door?” Though he had to get his question out while panting, the other smirked.

“Well, they weren’t supposed to be back yet.”

“Back from where?! I thought insane asylums only gave supervised day passes!”

The dark haired boy couldn’t help but snort while trying not to full out laugh.

“I wish it were that simple, they had gone on vacation, some marathon run around Europe or something. I had hoped it would take them years, not months.”

“So now what? I mean since swimming is out?”

Sasuke gave it a few seconds of thought before speaking.

“Well, we could take a shower and then watch a movie?”

“Oh yeah! There’s this horror marathon that was supposed to start tonight!”

With that the pale boy was literally dragged towards the shower.

“Who first?”

He couldn’t resist those blue eyes.

“Go ahead and get in, I want to make sure all the doors are locked so we don’t have any uninvited visitors.”

With a bright grin Sasuke was shoved from the room, the door closing right after and followed by the sound of the shower being turned on to warm up.

The doors were locked, but as an extra precaution, Sasuke checked all the bottom floor windows and closed the curtains in the living room, then headed back, thankful to hear the shower still running as he slipped silently into the room.

Taking a moment, obsidian eyes moved over the outline of the body in the shower, taking in as much detail as the frosted glass would allow before stripping off his own clothing and slipping inside to join Naruto.

Sasuke’s breath caught in his pale throat as water slid down the tan body, Naruto’s head thrown back as he rinsed the shampoo from his hair, the cerulean orbs closed in bliss while he remained unaware of the other watching him.

A small choking sound finally alerted the blond to Sasuke’s presence when the raven-haired boy had tried, and failed at swallowing the drool that had suddenly accumulated in his mouth from the view.

“Sasuke!”

He hadn’t been prepared for the soaking washcloth to be thrown at his face. Actually, where had that washcloth come from? He couldn’t remember seeing Naruto holding it before, but then he was rather entranced…

Wiping water and stinging soap from his eyes, the Uchiha was duly snapped from his fantasy world and slammed back into reality.

“Damn! Idiot! That stings.”

“Well you were the one peeping!”

“You’re my boyfriend, why shouldn’t we shower together?!”

Cerulean eyes blinked a couple times as he tried desperately to think of a good response.

“Umm, because… Yeah! Because!”

“Because what? We’ve showered together before.”

“But we weren’t together, together then.”

“So? Our bodies haven’t changed, our living together hasn’t changed.”

“It’s just… different.”

A dark eyebrow arched.

“Different?”

“Yeah, you weren’t… you know…” It was clear that Naruto’s implication wasn’t sinking in, he would have to actually say it. “So… touchy.”

The Uchiha looked shocked.

“So you don’t want me touching you?”

Oh shit! Who would have thought that the pale boy could look like a kicked puppy?!

“It’s not that! Come on! You used to be such an ice prince, but since we got together you’ve been constantly trying to grope me.”

“Is it wrong that I want to touch you?”

He gave it a moment’s thought.

“No, it’s just that it caught me off guard, you know. The sudden massive affection.”

Sasuke ran pale fingers through his hair.

“I guess it’s just that when I’m with you, I relax and let down my guard, I can feel safe and know you want me for me, not my looks or money or popularity. I haven’t been able to feel this way in so long and I keep waiting to wake up, alone in bed again and finding out this has all been a dream.”

“So,” Naruto couldn’t help relaxing and stepping forward. “All the kissing and touching, it’s because you’re just trying to reassure yourself this is real, that I’m real?”

He nodded before gasping as tan arms wrapped around his neck.

“Naruto?”

“Let me show you how real I am.”

The Uchiha could swear his heart stopped as he felt the toned, tan body press against his own, making his breath catch in his throat, pale arms instantly moving to wrap around the other slim body, pulling the two boys even closer together.

“Naruto…”

He didn’t need a second invitation, two sets of lips pressing together, moving, feeling, relishing in the connection before a tongue hinted at entrance. Neither would be able to say later whose tongue it was exactly that took things deeper, but in the long run it didn’t matter as both of the soft muscles battled, dominance moving between the two as they explored the other’s mouth while small sounds of pleasure escaped.

“Sasuke!”

“Naruto.”

One was gasped breathlessly as the other name was growled into the tan throat, hips starting to move against each other as their bodies awoke to the pleasure.

It was a tan hand that made it’s way down the ivory skin, while Sasuke’s fingers toyed and teased a dusky nipple until his head flew back with a guttural cry, the feel of the blond’s light touch dancing over his heated length being unexpected.

“Naruto!”

Both sets of eyes were glazed over, bodies and blood heated as Sasuke’s hand moved to return the favor, slim fingers wrapping around the hard length that had been pressed against his own body.

“Ah! Sas-Sasuke!”

The fingers danced, explored, rubbed and teased. Sacs were fondled, heads teased while mewls and pants escaped both.

It was finally Sasuke that couldn’t control himself any longer, thrusting into the hand around his hardness while pumping the length he held in a steady rhythm, squeezing on the upstroke.

“Oh!.. Ah!…”

Things degraded from the exploration of bodies and pleasure, it became a race to see who could finish the other off first while the steamy air filled with mewls and pants, two voices begging for release while promising hearts and eternity just for a bit more of the pleasure.

With twin, incoherent shouts, streams of thick, white fluid covered both abs, bodies still jerking in the hopes of it being extended, their orgasms not wanting to release it’s hold yet.

Once spent, they dropped to the floor, Sasuke sliding down the wall while Naruto’s body crumpled, somehow ending up draped on his pale lover.

“That was great.”

“Yeah.” Sasuke didn’t even try to stop the dreamy grin from covering his face or hide the glazed look still in his eyes. He and Naruto had touched, had orgasmed together!

“Come on, now we really need to get clean and I really want some cuddle time after that.”

A smirk crossed the pale visage.

“Cuddle time, eh?”

“Yeah.” A pink stain dusted over the tan cheeks as Naruto stood on still slightly shaky legs. He had given himself hand jobs before, but had never came so hard, not even when fantasizing it was another touching him. “You know, popcorn, movies, couch, cuddling.”

“I know.” Sasuke grabbed the previously forgotten wash cloth. “I just hadn’t pegged you as the cuddling type.”

“Just shut up.”

Naruto scowled at the chuckle, but both boys hurried through their shower.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Monday morning arrived, Naruto having a knot in his stomach that barely allowed him to eat breakfast.

Okay, having someone confess their love for you in front of most of the school while at a dance seems romantic at the time, and accepting was, undoubtedly the best choice. But now as the engine turned off, the sleek, black car parked before the school that almost every human body had suddenly stopped moving at, it didn’t seem like such a great thing. By now any students, or teachers for that matter, that hadn’t attended the dance would have heard about what transpired. Ahhh, it was amazing how news like that can travel faster through the rumor mill than even television could get it out.

Right now, the two boys climbing from the car had everyone’s rapt attention, whispers exchanged to the point that it had the effect of white noise, a constant sound but not something understandable.

Sasuke moved around to the front, waiting for Naruto to walk closer before wrapping a pale arm around the other boy, noticing how stiff his body was.

“Relax, idiot, no one’s going to do anything.”

“Yeah, to you. You’re not the one everyone is convinced is the uke!” The tan face scrunched as they reached the table Shikamaru was waiting at. “Why does everyone automatically think I’m the girl, anyway?.!”

The lazy genius scoffed.

“It’s simple, Naruto, look at you both. Sasuke drives you around, when walking, Sasuke is the one with his arm around your waist, he’s taller, more masculine, more assertive and when you get attacked, he’s the one fighting while you blush and drool over him.”

You wouldn’t think a blush could be that visible on someone so tanned.

“That’s not true!” A shaky finger was pointed at Shikamaru. “I can take care of myself! He doesn’t always have to save me, Gaara just caught me off guard! And I’m just as masculine as he is! No, I’m more!”

Sasuke snickered.

“So, you were drooling over me while I was fighting Gaara, huh?”

“N-No!”

“Please.” The brunette relaxed against the table. “I had to close your mouth and hand you a towel before everyone noticed the bonemph.”

Sasuke had the biggest smirk while a tan hand was still covering Shikamaru’s mouth, blue eyes glaring death and pain at his friend.

“So then why were you so against taking that shower together?”

“Sasukeeee! Everyone’s looking! Keep your voice down.”

Naruto wasn’t sure which he wanted to kill, after all, if anyone hadn’t thought he was the ‘girl’ of the relationship, they would now. If it was actually possible to die from blushing, he was certain he would be dropping any second now.

Inspiration struck as his eyes landed on a group of girls giving him extremely dirty looks. If these two could find amusement at his expense, then he would find some at their’s.

The Uchiha tensed when those blue eyes landed on him, full of mischief. If he were less of a man, or one willing to let his pride drop any, he would have backed away as the blond sauntered the few steps to him before leaning up to capture his ear. A small lick to the lobe had his undivided attention, eyes instantly dropping to half mast while his hands moved to the other’s waist.

“Well then, Mr. Perfect.” Naruto’s voice was low and husky, shivers running up and down Sasuke’s spine as that ‘pet name’ was practically purred. “As I recall, we did take that shower, and such the enjoyable one it was, too.” He gave the lobe another light flick, smirking at the gasp. “But then I also recall I owe you the view of me in a certain bit of lingerie, with interest. How about you spend today thinking of the perfect song, think long and… hard about it, and I might just be persuaded to give you a little… show.”

Naruto finally stepped back, pulling away to inspect his work, and feeling quite proud at the intensity of Sasuke’s blush.

“Sasuke, breath.” Shikamaru’s eyebrow was arched in amusement as the normally pale boy finally took a shuddering breath, shifting his back pack around to cover the very obvious bulge in his pants. “Sometimes you can be so evil, Naruto.”

Said blond gave his friend a deep bow, his smirk firmly in place until the bell rang, snapping them all back to the reality of another long day ahead.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sasuke’s day, however, was not going nearly as well as Naruto’s.

It wasn’t that anyone tried to give him a hard time, aside from the girls that either simply refused to believe he was with Naruto or felt they could ‘save’ and ‘change’ him. It was all he could do not to laugh at those type, really, how do you change genetics, especially when your merely a high school student. His theory was too much perfume and make-up had rotted what little brains they started life with.

No, his problem was the one Naruto had started him with that morning. Every time a lecture would get boring, he passed the music room, heard any mention of music at all or, worst of all, actually tried to think of a song he liked, his pants became tight once again.

He really couldn’t help himself, images of the blond in that bit of sensual material continually flashed through his mind, aided by his senses so willing to supply the remembered feel of that skin against his body, the smell when he held Naruto close, the taste he was more addicted to with every kiss.

It was quite obvious why he was fighting a hard on all day. Lunch time did not help, since Naruto refused to allow him to sneak the both of them away, or even go somewhere private, choosing instead to send him the occasional meaningful glance, quickly followed by the looks of amusement, cerulean eyes dancing with mirth.

Physical Education very nearly killed him, he would swear to it, seeing as how his team actually lost for once. Mind you, one basket was scored in the entire period, but every time the raven-haired boy would get the ball, or worse yet, Naruto would, he would find the tan body rubbing against his in the most suggestive ways. Any guy capable of running and concentrating on getting a ball through the hoop with an almost constant tent in his shorts, would have the Uchiha’s complete respect.

Things were not helped along though when one of his team mates decided to guard Naruto instead, a jealous Uchiha is a very scary thing, though not so much as an angry one, which everyone saw when Naruto was tripped while on his way to make another basket.

Yes, Sasuke was as much to blame for his team losing as the opposing team was.

As soon as the whistle blew, Naruto bolted for the locker room, slipping his shirt on by the time Sasuke found him, cursing his luck that the blond had changed clothing so fast.

By the time the final bell rang, Sasuke headed straight to his car, not trusting his hormonally raging body not to shove the blond in the nearest closest/bathroom/empty classroom and have his way with him.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto happily shut his locker before falling in step beside his best friend.

“You going to be able to make it to school tomorrow?”

“Huh?” Confused blue eyes looked raptly at Shikamaru. “Yeah, why wouldn’t I be?”

“Just wondering, after the amount of teasing you’ve put your boyfriend through today, I’m surprised he hasn’t jumped you already.”

It was amazing how such a statement could be made while a look of utter boredom graced his face, the whiskered face though had a dawning look of horror.

“You really think Ice Prince would…?”

Dark eyes glanced over at the blond.

“You honestly expected to tease him like that all day and not get jumped?” He sighed. “Sometimes you baffle even me.”

“Shikaaaaaaa…” The blond was not above whining. “You have to help me! He’s going to ravage me and do unspeakable things to me! My virginity is in imminent danger!”

Shikamaru, if possible, looked even more bored.

“As I recall, you were the one that started it this morning.”

“But that was joking around! Come on! I could get frost bite in unspeakable places!”

“I doubt that, seeing as how you also call him ‘Mr. Perfect’, most likely he’ll be as good at that as everything else.”

He opened his mouth to retort, until spotting Sasuke’s friends standing around, trying to convince the Uchiha about something. By the time his attention had turned back to the lazy genius, said boy was already gazing at the clouds as he walked, an unmistakable signal that all conversations were done.

Swallowing the lump in his throat and willing the butterflies to remain in his stomach, rather than embarrass him by escaping. He could just see that headline, ‘teen has flock of butterflies emerge from stomach while walking to boyfriend’s car’. Yeah, if you’re going to be famous, let it not be for something that stupid.

Naruto wasn’t blind, he didn’t miss the glares that several of the people around Sasuke shot him, nor did he back down.

In fact, it was locking eyes with Kiba that made him forget his fear, meeting the glare with one of his own, posture straightening. The blond wasn’t about to forget the boy calling him a gold digger and he was still pissed that he had ended up punching a mirror instead of the actual person.

“Naruto, good to see you again.” Cerulean eyes shifted to meet the pale eyes of the Hyuuga. “I was wondering if we could speak for a moment? In private?”

Sasuke had opened his mouth, only to close it when he was beaten to answering.

“No. No we can’t, if you have something to say,” Naruto opened the passenger door and tossed in his bag. “Then you can say it in front Sasuke, I have nothing to hide from my boyfriend.”

A surprised look was instantly smothered by a smug grin on the Uchiha’s face, it seemed Naruto was growing more comfortable with their relationship, and he had to admit, seeing the more confident and energetic personality surfacing again did wonders on alleviating his worry for the other.

The two girls moved back to ignoring the blond after having cast a few evil glares his way.

“Sasuke-kun, it will be fun, and this is the last day it’s playing here.”

Ino spoke up next.

“Yeah, Sasuke-kun, you could sit beside me, I’ll keep you company.”

The Uchiha scowled slightly, moving to climb in his car, that is until the cheery voice spoke up.

“A movie? That sounds like fun, we should go, Sasuke.”

“What about your homework, idiot?”

Cerulean eyes rolled. “Please, I only have science, it won’t take us over thirty minutes.” A mischievous glint suddenly danced in those eyes that Sasuke loved, one that made his eyebrow arch while he wondered what was being plotted. “Please?”

Puppy eyes, he should have known puppy eyes were going to enter into this!

“Fine, if you want to go that badly, but I’m still holding you to your promise from this morning.”

A very smug smirk graced Sasuke’s face as Naruto managed to blush impressively before hurrying into the car.

“Then we will meet the both of you there.”

Neji smirked as the four headed towards his car, Sakura and Ino looking torn between anger at Naruto coming as well and happy that someone was able to convince the stoic Uchiha, even if it hadn’t been them.
