The Definition of Piety

A/N: I know it’s been a long time and I suck, but I just recently found out that I was accepted into AMDA so I have been really busy. My deepest apologies.

Also, caidanu has done some FANART for me! I luffles her oh so much! I would urinate on her to mark her as my own, but I’m not sure she would appreciate that, so I will just have to settle for extensive huggling. *proceeds to do so* MINE, back off bitches. Also, she says this the first draft of the fanart, I put a link below, but you might not see it if you don’t have a y!gallery account. I just recently got one, and my first encounter was exhilarating. I was like “Oh! A penis!” followed by “Oh! Two Penises!” followed by “Oh! Two penises interacting with each other!” followed by, incoherency.

Childish Acts of Dominance

He balanced precariously on the line between sleep and being awake and he let out a whine that he would vehemently deny later when he felt something poking against the skin of his cheek. He emitted another groan as he swatted at the offending object, his eyes still firmly closed, hoping that whatever the hell it was would leave him alone and let him get back to sleep, but alas, that didn’t seem to be the case.

It was a shame really. He was rather comfortable. He was torn between snuggling further into the warmth that he was currently cocooned in, and getting as far away from the persistent object as possible. He settled on a compromise, opting to turn his head away, his lower lip protruding in annoyance, while his lower body shifted closer to the welcoming warmth. For a moment the incessant poking stopped and he made a mental note in his sleep-hazed mind to smirk in triumph later because, damn, he was good. However, as soon as the poking had gone, it was back again, harder and more persistent then ever.

Oh, son of a….

He growled, wondering briefly if it would be against etiquette to start biting blindly, when he heard a familiar snigger right beside his ear.

“Oh, big scary Uchiha. You know Teme, this is very unbecoming of a shinobi.” A voice crooned teasingly into his ear.

His eyes snapped openly immediately.

He turned his head slowly back towards the direction of the voice, only to be met with the tip of a tan finger aimed at his face, wide blue eyes, and an ever present shit-eating grin.

“What the hell, idiot?” He said in a low voice, squinting as his eyes adjusted fully.

“Well, I figured it was about time for you to wake your lazy ass up.” Naruto answered, keeping his tone innocent, despite his words. “I never expected that you could be so cute when you slept though. Heh, you even pout when you’re unconscious.” “

Naruto…” Sasuke began, his tone threatening, but Naruto paid him no mind, clearly unaffected by the glare he was receiving.

“And who would have guessed you were such a heavy sleeper, but I suppose you were more exhausted then usual. I did do quite the number on your sexy little ass last night.”

“Dobe!” A dark blush colored Sasuke’s pale cheeks, and Naruto had to skillfully dodge the kick that the angry Uchiha directed at him. Unfortunately, the only way for him to dodge in his current position was to roll on top of Sasuke and pin him down. With both of Naruto’s arms on either side of Sasuke’s head, propping his body up, Sasuke’s blush only deepened and he let out an unconscious moan when he realized that he had a very naked Jinchuuriki on top of him.

Naruto grinned when he noticed Sasuke’s reaction and teasingly rocked his hips against the other boy’s, before leaning down and claiming his mouth in a kiss. Sasuke couldn’t help but smile against Naruto’s lips, all anger immediately forgotten, as he raised his hands to fist into Naruto’s sunshine hair. He let out a soft sigh as he felt Naruto’s tongue probe gently at his lips, followed by teeth nibbling along them as well. He opened his mouth in welcome, and could have almost let out a whine of disappointment as that sly tongue didn’t enter his mouth, but instead licked playfully one last time at his bottom lip, before pulling away completely.

Sasuke opened his eyes slowly to see Naruto staring at him quietly, his head cocked slightly to the side as if in thought, before the fox broke out into a blindingly bright grin. “Good morning, sweetheart!” He said in a voice akin to a cheery housewife, before taking advantage of Sasuke’s temporary shock, and sucker smacking the Uchiha on the ass. He then stood up gracefully, stretching languidly, unashamed of his nakedness, while Sasuke stared at his backside, his mouth hanging open and his eyes narrowed in a mix of shock and a glare, giving him the uncanny appearance of a pissed off fish.

“Don’t tell me you’re just gonna lay there all day. Get your ass up, you lazy bastard.” Naruto spoke in a bright voice before bending over, much to Sasuke’s reluctantly admitted delight, and picking up the Uchiha’s shirt, which he launched unsuspectingly at the gaping prodigy.

Sasuke’s came out of his stupor in enough time to catch the offending material before it hit him square in the face. Finally out of his trance, he quickly tackled the other boy against a nearby tree, causing Naruto to let out a very unmanly shriek.

“How dare you spank me, Dobe.” Sasuke growled in a low voice against the shell of Naruto’s ear, before nipping none-too-gently at the lobe that was presented before him. “Uchihas do not get spanked.” He insisted, one hand pinning both of Naruto’s wrists above his head, while the other latched on firmly to one tanned hip. He rocked his hips subtly into Naruto’s, keeping the touches barely there, but enough so he could feel Naruto’s cock stir awake against his own. Naruto let out a quiet gasp and Sasuke smiled against the skin of his exposed shoulder, before flicking his tongue against that spot, just enough to get a taste of the dobe.

There was something to be said about standing naked in a forest, where anybody, especially two assholes who didn’t mind there own business, could happen by. It was rather exhilarating, despite how much his Uchiha pride was screaming at him to put some fucking clothes on.

“There are a lot of things that I would like to do to you, Sasuke, that the Uchihas would frown upon.” Naruto purred, causing a shiver to run along Sasuke’s spine at the implications in those words. Despite the compromising position that the blonde was currently in, Sasuke’s didn’t have to look at his face to know that Naruto was smirking. “Besides, all good bitches need a spanking sometimes.”

Sasuke abandoned his grip on Naruto’s wrists in favor of fisting some of that golden hair and forcing Naruto’s head back against the rough bark of the tree. At this treatment Naruto let out something that could only be described as a mix between a slightly pained whine and a moan, and Sasuke had to hold back his own cry of pleasure when he felt Naruto harden further against him. “If I remember correctly, Uzumaki, you were the one who was spreading your legs for me last night.” Sasuke shot back, his breath becoming harsh as Naruto began to rock lightly against him, he wasn’t even sure if the other knew he was doing it.

“Well, Uchiha, how about later I throw you to the ground, spread your legs and show you just how much stamina I possess.” Naruto’s voice had become just as rasped as Sasuke’s own and the Uchiha could swear those eyes had become a darker blue.

Sasuke leaned forward suddenly, catching Naruto’s pouty bottom lip between his teeth. “Promise?” He all but groaned around the flesh in his mouth and he watched as Naruto’s eyes drooped slightly in lust. He was a little surprised that he had so readily insinuated that Naruto could top, but he felt no real need to hide from Naruto any more and he could relinquish just a little bit of his pride. Besides the idea of Naruto being inside of him was more arousing then he would have cared to admit.

With one last longing suck on Naruto’s lip, he reluctantly released the flesh. Naruto stared at him for a moment, as if studying him. “You aren’t going to continue to always try to be top in everything?” Naruto questioned, as Sasuke took a step back.

“We’re equals aren’t we?” Sasuke admitted, staring Naruto directly in the eyes. This was important, this meant so much more than just sex.

At those words, Naruto’s face broke into a huge grin and he flung himself at the Uchiha, who staggered back in order to not fall to the ground with an armful of dobe. “Get off me, idiot!” Sasuke growled halfheartedly, though his arms stayed around his lover’s waist.

Despite the childish way the blonde was acting, or the sloppy kisses that he trailed all the way from Sasuke’s mouth to his ear, his voice was serious when he spoke. “I love you, bastard. Your ass is mine now.”

“Along with everything else.” Sasuke agreed, before attempting to disentangle himself from the mass of blonde. “Now get the hell off of me. You’re filthy.” Apparently prissy Sasuke had returned, as he now grimaced at the feel of his skin and the dry come that still lingered. “I want to take a bath.”

“Take one with me?” Naruto suggested, gesturing towards the lake not far from them. “Though we’ll have to hurry and get back to camp. I’m sure Gaara and Neji are worried.”

Sasuke merely “hn” and nodded before walking towards the water, knowing the blonde was following behind.

“Oh, and Dobe, just because I offered to be uke for you later, don’t get used to it.” Sasuke said huffily, though there was a leer in his eyes as he turned back to look at his lover.

Naruto could only grin.

“Of course, bastard.”

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

By the time they had returned to the area where their camp was located they knew that something was definitely wrong. There was a heavy aura the seemed to hang oppressively over their heads as they caught sight of Gaara and Neji sitting by the morning campfire.

Now this wasn’t anything unusual since the two had spent most of their time doing just that since the trip had started. However, what was strange was the fact that Gaara and Neji were sitting as far away from each other as the space would allow, and both pairs of eyes were focused anywhere but in the general direction of the other person.

Gaara seemed to be entirely too interested in some random tree to his left, and the staring match he had begun with said tree seemed more of a death match than anything else. It was almost as if Gaara was imposing silent death on the poor defenseless thing. And knowing Gaara’s past flirtations with homicidal insanity, that might have just been the case.

Neji, on the other hand, seemed to be focusing on the ground, peering down at it through his hands, which were propping his head up as he allowed his fingers to play idly with his hair.

All in all, the situation seemed rather uncomfortable.

“Awkward…” Naruto made a gesture of whispering to Sasuke, and usually Sasuke would have ignored the entirety of the situation, because he really didn’t give a rat’s ass about the two conniving twatts, but this seemed more difficult than usual to push aside.

“No shit, who died?” Sasuke whispered back, feeling slightly uneasy at the fact that neither Gaara nor Neji had looked up at them once since they had gotten back.

“More like, who fucked who?”

“Naruto!” Sasuke scolded in embarrassment, resisting the urge to smack the blonde.

“Well, seriously, before it was as if those two had been connected at the hip with chakra binds, now it’s like Gaara decided to piss in Neji’s hair or something.” Naruto said, in what Sasuke supposed was intended to be a defensive manner.

“Idiot…”

“What, it’s true! You know how girly Neji gets about his hair…”

“You do know that we can hear you, right?” Both Naruto and Sasuke almost jumped at the entrance of a third voice. They slowly turned to find both Gaara and Neji staring at them with dual blank expressions on their faces. The empty stares made their skin crawl.

Naruto reached up to scratch nervously at the back of his head, emitting a slight laugh in the process. “Er, well…how ‘bout we eat some breakfast! I’m starving!” Naruto shouted loudly in order to change the topic. “Hey, Gaara wanna go get some more wood? Just because you‘re the Kazekage and all, doesn‘t mean you can‘t help.” Gaara just blinked at him for a moment, before standing up silently, and without a word making his way out of the clearing of the forest in search of wood.

By the time Gaara came back with the wood and Sasuke had insisted that, no, Naruto could not have ramen for breakfast, both Sasuke and Naruto had taken Gaara’s spot on the log by the campfire. Whether it was purposeful or not, this act left the only remaining seat on the log that Neji was currently occupying.

“I’ll sit on the ground.” Neji offered hastily, already beginning to move.

“It’s fine, Hyuuga.” Gaara told him, halting his movements, and Neji wasn’t the only one surprised to find that they were back to using last names.

“If you insist, Kazekage-sama.” Neji said quietly, turning to stare at the fire.

“Che.” Someone snorted and both Gaara and Neji turned in the direction of the sound, coming in contact with Sasuke.

“Is there a problem, Uchiha?” Gaara inquired, his voice turning noticeably colder.

“Yes, I would hate to think that we were bothering you.” Neji added from beside Gaara, a sneer forming on his face. Naruto, for once, just silently watched the small interaction. It was nice to see that whatever might be going on between Neji and Gaara could be dropped immediately so they could fully direct their hate towards Uchiha Sasuke. They were a marvelous team when it came to that.

“Of course not.” Sasuke replied innocently, though Naruto could see the dark intent in his lover’s eyes. He almost grimaced as he prepared himself for the retort that was surely about to follow. “I just find it rather amusing to watch you two prance around each other like a pair of pre-pubescent girls.”

Ah, there it was.

There was no reaction for a moment and both Neji and Gaara’s expressions stayed vacant, but Naruto knew that danger was fast approaching and that this was just the calm before the storm. He wondered vaguely if he should maybe take cover, either that or strangle that bastard Uchiha.

Gaara seemed to contemplate the Uchiha for a moment, before finally his head cocked to the side and his bright red hair fell away from his pale face. When he spoke, his voice was smooth and lacking of any real curiosity that the question might have possessed. “So, Uchiha, how did the fucking go last night?”

Three mouths fell open at that one.

Sasuke’s face turned a distinctive shade of red and Naruto would have been worried that the other boy was going to have a conniption if he wasn’t busy gaping at the redhead sitting across from him.

And then, to everyone’s surprise, Sasuke’s expression calmed and a malicious grin formed on his pretty features. Naruto had the sudden urge to run for it, but before he could, Sasuke seized him around the waist and hauled him into his lap, earning a yelp from the startled blonde.

“I don’t see why it is any of your business, but if you must know, last night was rather enjoyable.” Sasuke told them, that smug look never leaving his face.

“Sasuke!” Naruto screeched in embarrassment. There was no way prissy, bitchy, kunai permanently shoved up his ass Uchiha Sasuke had just admitted to something like that.

“You can kill me for it later, dobe.” Sasuke whispered quietly into Naruto’s ear.

Neither Neji nor Gaara could keep their expressions emotionless any more and twin hard glares had set themselves on their features. Both of them knew what the Uchiha was doing. He knew that they felt something for the blonde, and now he was just dangling him in front of them as if just to show them what they couldn’t have.

Little fuck.

Naruto watched the exchange between the two parties in annoyance. He knew that if they had a little less dignity, there would be tongues sticking out as well.

Bunch of fucking children.

And people thought he was the one that was immature.

Neji felt his blood boil as Uchiha Sasuke ran his hands suggestively down Naruto’s sides, his eyes never leaving them as he smirked smugly at them.

How dare he…

Neji didn’t even think, which was an almost nonexistent occurrence, before he pulled the closest thing next to him into his lap, holding it possessively against his chest.

Ha!

He looked triumphantly back at Sasuke until he noticed the look of shock mixed with something that might have been horror on both Naruto and Sasuke’s face.

His blood ran instantly cold…oh no…oh no oh no oh no.

He slowly, almost reluctantly, let his lavender and all-seeing eyes travel to the thing that was snuggled securely in his lap. Sure enough he was met with a tuft of red hair and wide teal eyes.

There was dead silence.

Well, shit.

Gaara and Neji just stared at each other for a second, neither daring to move, and then the reaction was instant. Neji blushed a deep shade of crimson and all but pushed the stunned Kazekage off his lap. He stood up less then gracefully and mumbled a hurried “Gomenasai.” before bolting into the forest.

Gaara stared after him for a moment, his expression thoughtful, before he stood up silently and far more gracefully than Neji had and made his way towards the tent.

Sasuke and Naruto looked in the direction that both the boys had taken off in before Sasuke finally spoke.

“I hope they realize that we have to be leaving soon, we’re already running a day late.” He said in a bored voice, as if he wasn’t affected by what had just happened.

“What the hell, asshole? Why did you have to go and provoke them like that?” Naruto asked heatedly, clenching his fists at his sides as he scrambled of the Uchiha’s lap.

“Hn.” was Sasuke’s noncommittal reply and Naruto rolled his eyes.

“But there is definitely something going on between those two. I know it.”

“Hn.”

There was silence for a long moment and Sasuke was rather content, and then…
“Ne, Sasuke?” Sasuke turned his head towards Naruto at the voicing of his name, and he felt a pang of dread as he noticed the grin on Naruto’s face.

“What is it, dobe?” He asked cautiously, not looking forward to the answer.

“I have a plan.”
