The Right Choice

This is the last chapter, and it does contain a full lemon so you have been warned;) All that is left after is the epilogue, and I'll be done. Thanks for reading and thanks for the reviews. I hope it was worth the wait.


Chapter 12

Naruto was finally released from the hospital. He’d officially been a patient for eight days of patient hell, and he’d started to think Baa Chan wasn’t ever going to let him go, but he was as good as new, and she just couldn’t make any more excuses. He’d gone back to his apartment to shower, scrubbing until his skin was a warm rosy pink trying to get the hospital smell off his skin. He dressed quickly as his anticipation finally got the better of him. Shino said that he had a surprise for him. He leapt out the window of his bedroom and headed for the Aburame complex to see what Shino had been so excited about the day before.

He didn’t even make it to the front gate before Shino was beside him. He felt his hand being taken into a much warmer one, and looked down to see Shino’s long pale fingers intertwine with his own. He blushed attractively and smiled tenderly at Shino and squeezed his hand. He was overwhelmed by not only Shino’s ability to always make him feel special, but mostly by the fact that he seemed totally unashamed, even a bit smug, about their relationship. It was so new to both of them, but it had been building for a long time, and it seemed to Naruto that to an outsider it might seem sudden, but to them the physical aspects were just part of their natural progression. He felt in the tender silence of this moment a sudden revelation. Today would be the day they made love for the first time, and he could hardly contain the excitement at the mere thought of sex with his reserved lover.

They didn’t speak as they made their way toward Shino’s house. As they went through the door he noticed that there weren’t any lights on, but the light from the windows was plenty. As the door shut behind them the most noticeable part of the situation to Naruto was that it was completely silent. There weren’t any voiced to greet them, or steps moving toward them to see who had come in, and when Naruto checked for chakra he found that not only was the house empty, but most of the complex as well. It was the middle of the morning though so he didn’t think it was too big of a deal, maybe just a very lucky coincidence.

Shino led him to his bedroom where he slid the door shut and snapped the latch in place to lock it. Then Naruto was being kissed. It was nothing like before in his apartment or any other time though. This time Shino was demanding and dominant. He held Naruto close to him and slid his tongue into Naruto’s willing mouth. They were tugging at each other’s cloths, but not calm enough yet to actually make any progress. Shino was suddenly moving Naruto toward the bed and when he felt the edge hit the back of his legs he lost his balance a bit. Shino only held him tighter then, and the shift pulled Naruto’s hips solidly against Shino’s and a moan slipped from his lips breaking the kiss just enough to snap them out of the haze. They just looked at each other for a moment as they panted for breath, and then there was a frenzy of cloths. They wasted no time putting on a show or taking their time, they just got them off as quickly as possible.

When they got down to just their boxers Shino reached up and took off his glasses. That was when Naruto noticed that the room was much dimmer than it had been before. He looked at the windows, and noticed several layers of dark fabric covering each, and smiled a little to himself. Shino had planned this, and somehow he’d run his parents off. The thought passed quickly though as he looked back at Shino in time to see him slide his shorts down and off. Gorgeous was all Naruto could think. Shino couldn’t possibly be real. His body was that of a swimmer, broad and powerful at the shoulders, tapering down to lean and elegant. His erection stood hard and proud from the nest of dark hair at his groin and Naruto couldn’t think. All the things he wanted to do to that body were swirling around in a cacophony of vision and sound. It didn’t matter though because Shino didn’t seem to need him coherent.

Naruto’s boxers were unceremoniously removed, and they were on the bed, Shino on top of him, sliding between his legs and kissing him again. The shock of their bodies coming together so suddenly left them breathless, and they panted into the kiss trying to share as much oxygen as they could without stopping. Shino’s hips rocked against Naruto’s and with a shocked grunt he came like sixteen year old virgin. His body jerked and writhed under Shino and he felt slow wet kisses working their way down his neck to his chest and lower still.

He was just starting to come down from the most embarrassingly fast climax of his life when he felt a hot tongue on his stomach. He looked down to see Shino licking up his come with slow worshipful strokes. Shino shifted one of his legs up and out a little, and then Naruto felt a slick finger touch him. Yes, this was what he’d been looking for. No lover in the past had ever been so masterful and yet reverent with his body. The finger slid in slowly making Naruto sigh and spread his legs further. He didn’t notice the second finger moments later because Shino’s mouth had found his semi erection and started to pull it teasingly with his lips as that very talented tongue worked its magic. The fingers were up to three now, and Naruto was enjoying all this attention immensely. When Naruto was fully hard again in Shino’s mouth he gave the erection one last adoring lick before sliding up Naruto’s body, his lips hovering just above Naruto’s.

“I love you.” Shino whispered so softly it was nothing more than a breath but to Naruto it reverberated back in his head over and over. The eyes looking into his were so beautifully sincere and the perfect accompaniment to those words. His hand came up to run through Shino’s hair while the other slid tenderly up smooth skin from hip to shoulder. “I love you.” Naruto replied in almost the same whisper. Shino’s eyes closed then and he moved to sit up between Naruto’s legs. Naruto felt a rush of fear course through him, but calming hands reached for him to role him over onto his hands and knees and he understood.

Shino moved into place quickly and without further ado he slid in with one slow even thrust. Naruto moaned as he was impaled feeling every inch enter him. When he thought he could take no more he realized that Shino still wasn’t done. It was another torturous few inches before they were flush. Naruto was filled more than he’d ever been by any man and it was a brilliant realization that there was no pain, just intense pressure. Shino was panting harshly and Naruto could feel the heat of his breath across his back. He felt small tremors run through his lover and when he tried to move Shino gripped his hips painfully to hold him still. Naruto enjoyed the control he had over Shino in that moment, but it didn’t last. Shino reached down to pull Naruto up to him until his chest was against Naruto’s back. Slowly Shino spread his knees pushing Naruto’s legs further apart and allowing for deeper penetration that drew a mewl of pure pleasure from Naruto.

Then strong hands pulled Naruto up slowly until he was half way off the erection, then let go. The sudden effect of gravity pulled Naruto down hard. His body arched against Shino as that wondrous place inside him was set on fire at the touch. His head fell back against Shino’s shoulder as he took a second to regain his breath before he raised his hands up to Shino’s hair. He got a tight grip on the strands before he pulled himself up and thrusting against Shino again. This time Shino was the one to moan. Strong hands wrapped around Naruto’s waist and pulled him flush again. Shino lifted them both up further on their knees and gentle was no longer a word either of them could use to describe the moment if they’d been coherent enough to speak.

Hot, fast, hard. Panting, moaning, breathless. Thrusting, squeezing, pounding. The rhythm was perfect. Their bodies moved like they were made for each other. There were no words, only the passionate sounds of their bodies as they came together and a symphony of moans and pants. They were both flushed and the rhythm quickly began to falter. Shino’s hand moved down to take Naruto’s erection and stroked up harshly pulling a cry from deep in Naruto’s throat. He tightened almost painfully around Shino and it was over. They were writhing together, holding on to each other as if it were the only thing keeping them grounded. White shining desire spilled over pale fingers as Naruto was filled with liquid passion. They were still moving together as they started to come down. The movements became slow and tender, and kisses rained down on Naruto’s neck and shoulders. His legs were trembling from the strain, or was it Shino that was trembling, he didn’t know.

They slid apart and Naruto was gently lowered to the bed. Shino lay beside him and pulled him close. Their lips met in a long slow kiss. Their bodies molded against each other and hands soothed away any remaining tension.

They cleaned each other in the bathroom laughing at nothing, and kissing in between. It wasn’t long before both of them were snuggled beneath the kakebuton, drifting into a late morning nap. Naruto’s last thought before he drifted off was that when they woke, they would make love again, and if he was lucky it would only get better.


Weeks passed quickly when in love, and it was exactly that way for Naruto and Shino. They went on missions like usual, and when they were home at the same time they made love almost constantly. They were the talk of the village, and Shibi strutted around like a proud peacock at the idea that the next Hokage would be his son in law. That was far off in the distance though and Naruto wasn’t one to dwell on things, he’d rather work toward them.

As they crept up on the two month mark of their relationship Shino had snatched him up directly from the Hokage’s office after a mission and set them off at a powerful pace toward his home. Naruto was more than willing to follow, after all it just meant they’d get to the sex that much faster, but he hadn’t anticipated meeting Shibi and Shai in the courtyard in any of the scenarios he run through his head. He went with it though; after all if they were there waiting it had to be important.

Naruto greeted them both respectfully and smiled. He’d felt for some time that he was becoming a part of this family and it was the most amazing feeling he’d ever experienced. The idea of family was so new to him that he reveled in it even when Shino’s parents were nagging or annoying.

“Naruto.” Shibi greeted. “We had Shino bring you here as soon as we heard you were back. We’ve been quite busy while you were away, and now that you’re here I think that we’re ready to discuss an important development. Shino has expressed to both of us that you are very important to him and though you might not be receptive to us organizing a marriage so soon we thought that a gesture of good faith was in order.”

Shibi swept his hand in a broad gesture to follow Shai and Shino, and they made their way to the house directly across the courtyard from theirs. Shino unlocked the door, and held it open for all of them and then closed it. The front room was of a modest design with a low couch that covered two walls and a low table. There was nothing hanging on the walls and it came across as sparse. Naruto was confused for a moment and then it dawned on him. Shino smiled behind his coat, but Naruto could see it around his eyes. The nod of confirmation was all it took and then Naruto was in his arms holding him with a bone crushing grip. “Thank you.” He whispered and Shino held him back just as fiercely.

Shibi and Shai stood back and watched as their son introduced his lover to their new home. They’d debated over it for quiet some time, but the elders had agreed with them that the two of them needed a place to call their own. They were quiet understanding about Naruto’s situation and were happy to offer a family and refuge to the boy who had gone so long without. After the excitement died down they sat together on the couch and discussed many things including marriage. Though Naruto was nervous about the subject he didn’t want to give the wrong impression so he listened intently to all the comments made and simply told them when asked, that it was a definite possibility for the future.

As the time passed and the conversation waned Naruto started to feel a little anxious for the parents to leave. After all he hadn’t seen his lover in over a week. Shibi and Shai took the hint gracefully and left but not before inviting the couple to dinner later. They agreed readily, and as the door shut they were instantly on each other. They made it to the bedroom and as they started taking off each other’s cloths something red caught his eye, and he turned.

He saw the bed covered in rich silk in a shade that he vaguely recognized, but what shocked him was the symbol in the center. The swirl was large and pronounced in the design and he couldn’t contain the gasp of shock that seemed too loud in the silent room. As his eyes drifted more he noticed the top was flipped down a bit to reveal a unique shade of blue that he recognized immediately. He walked to the side and flipped it down further to see that it was the kakebuton he’d slept under many times in these past few months. He slowly turned to Shino with questioning eyes.

“It’s always been there. I’ve known for a long time that you were what I wanted. I held no illusions that I’d actually have you though. This was my way of keeping you close to me when I thought there was no other way.” He sat down on the end of the bed and ran his hand reverently over the symbol of his lover.

Naruto was stunned. Shino had suffered in longing for years without giving away even a hint of what he was feeling. Naruto suddenly felt stupid and small. He’d missed it. There had to have been something, but he’d never seen or acknowledged it. He couldn’t go back though. All he could do was look ahead to the future and make sure that Shino never knew that kind of pain again. He sat next to his lover and reached out for the hand that was still moving over the symbol and pulled it to him.

“I didn’t know. I’m so sorry I took so long to notice. I don’t know if things would have worked out between us then, but we’re together now, and I’ll be with you for as long as you want me.”

Shino pulled him into his arms and held him tight. “Forever, Naruto. I’ll want you forever…”

They made love for the rest of the day in their new bed in their new home enjoying their first real taste of privacy. They ate lunch in the nude in their kitchen and made love on the table finding true appreciation for the craftsmanship of such a study piece of furniture. In the late afternoon they were back in the bed wrapped in each other’s arms when Naruto decided that Shino might finally give him an answer to something that had been bothering him for years.

“Shino?”

“Yes…”

Naruto’s hesitance made Shino shifted a little to look in Naruto’s eyes.

“You would tell me anything right. If I asked?”

“Of course love.” He was starting to feel nervous at the tension he felt in Naruto’s body.

“I was just wondering if maybe you would tell me exactly how it is that you always seem to know when I’m sneaking up on you…” Naruto ducked his head, hiding his face in Shino’s chest. He was embarrassed that after so long he’d still never figured it out.

Shino chuckled. It started out light, but quickly turned to raucous laughter that shook his chest and Naruto’s head. Naruto couldn’t help but laugh a little along with him, but gave him a good slap to his stomach when he felt he’d been humiliated enough. “It’s not funny.” Naruto pouted.

Shino finally got himself under control enough to answer. “I know, but I just hadn’t expected that to be your question. You had me worried for a second.” He laughed a little again and then pulled Naruto close against him and held him tight. “It won’t be as interesting as you might expect. It’s not magic or some special power that I have, it just works with you. My Kikaichu have much better senses then I do so they sense you coming closer and let me know. It only really works for you though. It’s because I’ve been drawn to you for so long. There is a bond that is formed between Kikaichu and the host when they are joined, and that bond makes them in a way just as in love with you as I am. I guess you could say that their always looking for you so there’s never a time that you could be close that they won’t notice.”

Naruto smiled against Shino’s chest and ran his hand over the smooth skin of his stomach. “So what you’re saying essentially is that I can’t sneak up on you because your bugs are in love with me too?”

Shino laughed making his chest bounce under Naruto’s cheek. He wrapped his arms tighter around Naruto and whispered, “everyone that knows you is in love with you, I’m just the lucky one that gets to be with you.”

“You say the sweetest things Shino.” Naruto said as he enjoyed being held close.

“It’s only the truth.”

Naruto knew it was because for as long as he’d known him, Shino had never lied to him. And that was when he knew that for the rest of his life he’d never be alone again. No one had ever loved Naruto so selflessly before, and he planned to spend the rest of his life making sure Shino never regretted it.

They ended up being late for dinner with Shino’s parents that evening, but it didn’t seem to matter since they both agreed that the time was well spent.
