Surprises

 

Thunder crackled overhead, casting the dimly lit room into bright slivers of lightning. Naruto nervously paced the darkened kitchen, his only light being a candle flickering on the counter. He was the only one up right now, and the house was eerily quiet, shadows dancing on the walls. The storm wouldn't let him sleep.

"Why the hell are you standing in the dark?" Naruto jumped and spun around to face the door, stiffening when Sasuke walked into the kitchen, hair mussed from sleep. The blonde swallowed around the lump in his throat, his mind wiping itself clean. "Dobe, why are you standing in the dark?" Sasuke asked again, coming to stand on the other side of the counter.

The candle flickered over Sasuke's face, making his skin glow orange. His eyes followed the curve of Sasuke's jaw to the slope of his neck, then down to the pale, smooth skin of his chest, and shivered when he realized Sasuke wasn't wearing a shirt.

"I couldn't sleep." Naruto breathed out, his eyes widening slightly as they met Sasuke's from across the counter, his breath lodging in his throat. The other boy had caught him staring.

"The storm, right?" Sasuke nodded, looking out at the windows of the small kitchen and watching as the string wind blew the tree branches around. Naruto nodded wordlessly, his eyes still intent on Sasuke's chest. "You just need to relax, dobe." Sasuke suddenly murmured, talking the initiative and walking around the table in the center of the room, stopping to press Naruto into the sink behind them. He growled lightly at a boom of thunder, the candle flickering once, twice, before it finally gave out.

A chin bumped his nose as Sasuke moved closer, then soft lips brushed over his eye. Sasuke growled again and slipped a hand into his hair, pulling Naruto's head closer until those soft lips were sealing over his own. It was amazing how quickly he relaxed into the kiss, and especially how much he liked it.

Sasuke's lips were smooth and wet, and the friction of their bodies was starting to make him warm all over.

"Sasuke." The blonde sighed, slipping a hand down to Sasuke's ass and giving it a squeeze. The raven moaned and gripped Naruto's waist, his tongue invading Naruto's mouth.

Heat made a burning path over his skin, leaving goose bumps in their wake. Sasuke started to slowly grind against him, their breath mixing in the intensity of their kiss. When Sasuke pulled away, they were breathing heavily and his leg had somehow ended up on Sasuke's hip. Naruto sighed and let his body sink to the floor, his hands gripping pale skin and pulling Sasuke down with him.

"Holy shit." Naruto breathed, letting his legs fall open so Sasuke could crawl in between them. For a few moments, Naruto just breathed his scent in, his eyes falling shut. His whole body was vibrating with heat, and it centered in the places their skin was touching. He'd forgotten about he storm raging outside.

"What are you two doing in the dark?" Minato's voice came from the doorway, startling both teens out of their makeshift embrace. He relit the candle and leaned forward across the counter, his lips turning down. "Why are you two on the...? Oh."

Naruto made a strangled noise in his throat before pushing Sasuke away and standing up, his cheeks heating.

"We're going to bed." He mumbled, glaring lightly at his father as he passed, Sasuke's hand held tightly in his. They left the kitchen with the man chuckling behind them.
