Learn to Love (Complete)

Chapter 12:

“Again? Naruto this isn’t funny! You know I’ve been trying to take it slow dammit!” Sasuke sat up and glared at the blond, anger radiating from every pore.

Naruto sighed and turned away. “I am not ready! Get that through your thick skull! It’ll happen when it has to happen! Since when did sex become such a big thing to you?”

“It was always a big thing. I really want to lose my fucking virginity with you…but you won’t let me! You’re making me bloody frustrated and blow jobs aren’t going to help!” Sasuke yelled, though he kept his voice relatively low so no one heard him.

Naruto shrank back against the pillow. “I’m not ready to lose it yet! Why are you in such a hurry anyway? Tell me, teme!”

“I’m not in a hurry! I feel like it’s long overdue! We’ve been dating for two months! You’ve been refusing me for two weeks! It’s been two whole weeks since the first time I tried!” Sasuke said, shifting to his side of the bed.

Naruto glared at him, before reaching to grab his discarded pants and pull something out. “You are in a hurry. Is it because of these?” he pulled out a wad of the notes Kidoumaru kept sending him. Sasuke stared at them in shock and then looked menacingly at Naruto.

“Have you been spying on me? Where did you get those?”

“No I have not been spying on you! I can’t believe you’d say that to me! The maid gave these to me, because she found them in your school trousers and didn’t know if they were important! Now answer me…is this what’s bugging you?” Naruto’s eyes were serious. He wanted to think it was because Sasuke loved him that he’d been trying these things. They still hadn’t said those three little words.

Sasuke turned away still frowning. “No…yes…well they wouldn’t be bugging me, if you hadn’t been holding out on me! You just don’t trust me do you? If you liked me then you wouldn’t stop me!”

Naruto made a frustrated noise. “If I could walk out on you, I would. We know we like each other. Sex doesn’t have anything to do with that yet! Please tell me you didn’t be nice to me just to get into my pants Sasuke…” the moment he said it, Naruto knew he shouldn’t have. Sasuke would take it badly and assume a whole lot of other things.

Sasuke stared at him and then paled. “How could you say that? Do you really believe that I’d open up to you and take you into my home for…for sex? You really don’t trust me at all do you? You just see me as some pervert who wants to use you?”

“God that isn’t what I meant! That’s the way you’ve been acting for the past two weeks! Can you stop reading loads into every word I say? Can’t you even try to understand? I am NOT MENTALLY READY! I’m stuck in this bed when you get all aggressive. I’m powerless to do anything…its frightening! It’s hard to trust that much! I’ve only known you for two or three months! I’m scared, you ass!” Naruto yelled. Gosh for once let it sink into that thick skin of his!

Sasuke was in no mood to understand anything. Naruto had just admitted that he did not trust Sasuke in bed. He didn’t bother trying to understand anything else the blond was saying. He wordlessly helped Naruto dress and dressed himself before slipping into the next room. This was the third time in the past two weeks that he’d slept in the bedroom after a fight with Naruto. Everything seemed to befalling apart, stupid hormones!

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

Itachi sat on Kyuubi’s lap as the lounged on a park bench. They were both wondering about their brothers who were acting like mules. Over the past two weeks everyone had noticed the way the couple had been acting and now things had gotten even worse.

“They’re fighting everyday. Sasuke slept in the guest room again yesterday and he’s walking around the house like he’s covered in a black thunder cloud. Naruto isn’t saying anything about anything to anybody!” Itachi confided as Kyuubi kissed his neck.

“Hmm…you think there’s anyway we can find out what’s going on?” Kyuubi asked, now moving to Itachi’s ear to lazily lick it.

“It’s not like I haven’t tried. I put a tape recorder to record their conversation, but when I went to collect it, it was all smashed up. Then when I tried listening in at the keyhole, Sasuke realised and opened the door so I fell in. the next night they locked me in my room. I tried using the security camera, but it had been dismantled. I even made that tin can contraption, but Sasuke threatened me wit a poker…” Itachi leaned into his lover. “That hurt though…he’d have skewered his own brother…”

Kyuubi laughed and kissed him. “I seem to be influencing you a lot…”

“Yeah enough to get me killed sometimes soon! Honestly, the next time we do it…you’ll be bottom and I will hear you screaming to the rafters…” Itachi said.

“Well, they’ll have to sort it out soon…um…Itachi?” Kyuubi suddenly looked around.

“Hmm?”

“How about you get me screaming to the sky? There’s this clearing where no one will see us…” Kyuubi pointed in that direction.

Itachi hit him on the head, but grinned anyway. “What a good place for you to bottom in…don’t be too loud.” They hurried off there. After a while a few screams were heard by the passers by.

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

He was feeling really tipsy…no it wasn’t the first time he’d had alcohol, he’d had it many times before to drown his sorrows in, but he’d never been tipsy and frustrated…sexually that is. It was a Sunday and Sasuke had decided to let Haku deal with Naruto. He’d wanted out…to be away from the blond who made him feel angry, hurt and loved all at the same time.

Growling a bit he gestured for another shot of vodka. He knew the bartender, so it wasn’t a problem getting drunk. He absently wondered where the blond was…then he thought of the hospital…of course the idiot would have gone in to stare at his dad again! Sasuke frowned a little feeling jealous…it was always his dad now!

Suddenly an arm snaked around him. “Hello there…mind if I asked what a young boy like you is doing getting drunk this early in the day?” a slightly scratchy voice purred into his ear. Sasuke turned to see pale blue eyes and long equally pale blond hair.

“T’s cos my boyfriend won’ lemme get any… he’s always going off t’ see his dad…” he mumbled in explanation. The last vodka shot was really making him feel woozy. The dude in front of him was pretty sexy…or seemed so.

“Oh that’s too bad. I’m Temujin and you are?”

“Sasuke…but you can call me Sas-chan!” he always felt too happy when he was high. He saw the blond guy laugh and wrap an arm around him. He smiled happily at him. “I want another drink…”

“No…come on Sas-chan…it’ll be too much for you. How about we go outside and get some fresh air?” Temujin asked his voice light and almost teasing.

“Okay!” Sasuke jumped off his barstool wondering why some part of his mind was trying to tell him to leave and go home! He followed Temujin to the park outside. After tripping loads of times, Temujin got him to a bench and sat him down.

Sasuke drunkenly gazed at the boy. “You look a lot like my Nari-chan!” his face tried to switch to a sexy expression though it didn’t work too well. “You’re lips look nice too…”

Temujin smiled a little. “Are you trying to pick me up? You’re cute but you’re all ready…” he got cut off as a pair of lips attacked his. Even when he was drunk Sasuke was a great kisser. Temujin struggled for a minute but gave in as the Uchiha made no sign to stop. Sasuke was enjoying this…maybe now he could even get laid.

Everything you say to me

Takes me one step closer to the edge

And I’m about to break

I need a little room to breathe

Takes me one step closer to the edge and

I’m about to break!

His cell phone continued to ring, but he ignored it, opting to push Temujin onto the bench and straddle him. He heard a gasp somewhere in the background and the sound of footsteps running. But his libido was really high and he couldn’t care less about anything else…not even the fact that he was molesting someone in the middle of a public park. They were grinding into each other…Sasuke couldn’t stop. Then suddenly he came hard in his pants and everything turned black. As he passed out, his cell phone continued to ring…

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

Neji smiled at Gaara over the table. Naruto had been so right in trying to get them together. They’d started to date a few days ago and he really like the red head. Gaara was intelligent and once he opened up they had had many interesting conversations.

At the moment though they were contently eating slices of pizza…pork pepperoni…Gaara’s favorite. Gaara was talking about his childhood…to be precise about how his mother had passed away and his father had followed not long after. He’d started to live with his siblings and you could just see the pride in his eyes as he talked about them and his nephew. His nephew was his older brother’s son a very naughty child and Neji laughed thinking about how much fun he seemed to be.

Gaara always made him less of a tight ass. He smiled. “To change the subject…” he trailed of as he got a message. Checking his cell phone his eyes widened. “No way!”

Gaara looked at him concerned. Wordlessly Neji handed the phone over. Gaara scanned the message quickly and slapped his head. “Damn you Sasuke!”

They both paid quickly and ran out of the restaurant to Neji’s place where a group of friends were meeting up. How the fuck had word gotten out?

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

Naruto had gotten Mikoto to drive him to the hospital. She’d asked him if everything was fine with Sasuke, he’d told her that they’d had a bit of an argument and that things would be fine. She hadn’t probed further. Now he was once more sitting by his dad’s bedside. Kyuubi had said he’d come over later. The staff just let him sit as long as he was quiet and didn’t disturb anyone. Shizune and Tsunade had come up to say hello but that was about it.

He was glad to see that his father was breathing easier. The room got to him and he dozed off for a few minutes. He woke up to a weird noise. He turned to see his father jerking…spasm-ing breathing labouredly. Naruto wheeled himself to the door and began to yell the nurses’ names. They came in at a run. Then they ran for the doctor, two of them staying to hold his father down.

Naruto felt scared…he’d already lost his mother; did he have to lose his father too? He began praying under his breath to any god that would hear him…hoping that his father would be fine. The doctors came in and began shouting out orders…a nurse wheeled him out. He picked up his cell phone and informed Kyuubi who said he’d be on his way. Naruto felt shaky…he wanted to hug someone…he called Sasuke.

Pick up, pick up….please pick up! Why aren’t you picking up? Sasuke….I’m sorry, but just pick up dammit I need you! But the blasted Linkin Park ring tone blared on and on! Naruto almost screamed in frustration. Twenty minutes passed as the blond tried to control his mental agony. The doctors still hadn’t come out…he turned to see Kyuubi come in at a run and hug him, holding him close. Naruto returned the embrace and then they both waited for the doctors to emerge.

Finally they came looking grim and serious. “Mr. Uzumaki, Naruto…well he’s fine. He’s alive and his condition has stabilized…he’s close to waking. But he had a seizure…that was dangerous…but we did some tests. He’s going to have a few problems with his speech; because of the amount of time his air supply got cut off…it couldn’t supply some parts of his brain. But we’re lucky that’s the only complication.”

Naruto sighed with relief. He’s alive…I’m not going to be an orphan…oh thank you god! Then he began to wonder where Sasuke was. He was beginning to feel a little angry with his boyfriend. But then maybe Sasuke was doing something important…like school work or something. Maybe he’d gotten into another fight and was hurt…yeah…however angry he was Sasuke wouldn’t ignore his calls. Naruto smiled a bit…he was going make Sasuke make up for today. The bastard had promised to be there for him!

He wheeled himself to his old ward while Kyuubi talked to the doctors about medication and such like. He spotted Sakura and Lee. He called out to them not missing the sudden fearful looks they were giving him. They walked up a bit hesitantly.

Lee was the first to speak. “So Naruto-kun…how are you feeling? When did it happen?”

Naruto wondered how they knew about his dad. “Well an hour or so ago. I’m fine now, but I was really frightened back then!”

“A…an hour ago? That recent? But… then he was seen an hour ago…” Lee looked at Sakura helplessly.

Naruto frowned. “What are you guys talking about? Yeah my father had a seizure an hour ago…”

“Naruto! We’re talking about your break up with Sasuke! When did it happen?” Sakura asked him wondering what he blond was thinking.

Naruto stared at her…a sinking feeling in his gut. “W…what do you mean?” then he saw their faces slide into a confused expression before their eyes widened and their faces suddenly closed up. “Why? What’s going on?”

“Oh nothing! Just a stupid rumour! Haha!” Sakura laughed weakly and was about to lead Lee off when Naruto caught her hand. He glared at her.

“You’re keeping something from me! You suck at lying Sakura-chan! Tell me what’s going on…” Naruto looked at her with the pleading eyes he knew she could never resist.

Sakura signalled to Lee and he left. When they were alone she licked her lips and looked at Naruto. “Um…have you and Sasuke been having problems?”

Naruto frowned. “Yes. Some dude at school keeps bugging him so he’s trying to take it out on me. He’s been so sex oriented lately… we fought yesterday…”

“Did you try contacting him today?”

“Yeah, when my father had that seizure. I was really freaked out and the bastard had said to call him if anything went wrong…but he wasn’t picking up. It isn’t like him not to pick up just because we had a fight and all. I guess he was busy with some really important work or was in the library or something and couldn’t pick up…” he trailed off looking at her face. “That’s not it, is it?”

Sakura shook her head. “Uh…you see…Ino had gone shopping today and one her way back she cut across this park see…and she saw…” she bit her lip. “She saw Sasuke making out with this other pale blond guy. She thought it was you but when she went closer it was someone else…she said they were really into it…”

Naruto felt like the bottom had dropped out of his stomach. And then suddenly it was full again…only something was boiling up. He had never felt so much rage in his life. Sakura watched with growing tension as Naruto’s eyes became completely cold. “Sakura…could you get aniki please. He’s talking to the doctors…”

That son of a bitch! He didn’t pick up because he was making out with some asshole! Sasuke wasn’t supposed to be like this! Fucking bastard! He growled a little. When Kyuubi followed Sakura in, he hugged his older brother and whispered something into his ear. Kyuubi looked at him in shock before nodding. Then they both left as fast as they could.

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

Sasuke groaned, his head hurt like shit. The glare of the sunlight was too much and it just made his aching head worse. He checked his watch…then he sat bolt upright. Had it stopped working? It was showing the date of the next day…nine in the morning on the next day. He tried to figure out what had happened yesterday. He remembered the bar and some blond guy…then it came back to him in bits and pieces…the park and kissing Temujin.

“SHIT!”

“Shit is right.” Itachi walked in with a tray of breakfast and some pills for his head. Sasuke noticed his older brother’s really sold attitude. But he was focussed on something else…something seemed to be missing…the dobe!

“Where’s Naruto?” Sasuke ignored the tightening he felt in his chest when he saw Itachi’s look. His brother had looked mad and then sorrowful. He sat down on the edge of Sasuke’s bed.

“Sasuke…you well made out in the park with this dude see. He brought you home after you passed out. You’re lucky mom and dad were out. Um…but since it was a public place…word got around. And Naruto’s father had a seizure yesterday…he was trying to reach you frantically. Later on he found out where you had been at the hospital…” Itachi sighed. “I’m sorry Sasuke but Naruto left…”
