-----------The Next Day----------
Naruto scrunched his face as the late morning sun assaulted him. Moaning quietly in protest, he burrowed his face into the warm shoulder he'd been using as a pillow. He was almost asleep again when his bladder demanded that he get up and take care of it. Muttering sleepy curses under his breath, Naruto climbed out of bed and pulled his robe on, heading for the bathroom. When he was done he'd woken up enough to notice that the house was unusually quiet. "Dad? Baa-chan?" he called, going down the stairs to see if they were in the living room or kitchen. Nobody. ::The hell? They can't be asleep, it's almost noon... Actually, why didn't Baa-chan wake us up?:: He looked around the kitchen and noticed a note on the fridge in Mika's neat writing. He pulled it off and read:

Naruto and Sasuke -
Went Christmas shopping with Arashi. We probably won't be back until dinner time. There are pancakes and bacon in the oven. Wash your sheets, 'cause I'm not doing it. You're too old for me to clean up your messes. And next time, ask me before you use my bathoils. Not that I mind, but it's the principle of the thing.
Love, Mika

There was another note right under it from Arashi.

Kids -
Use this time wisely! That's all I have to say!
Love, Arashi

Snorting in amusement, Naruto went back up to his room and sat on the edge of the bed, taking the note with him. "Sasuke," he said softly.

Sasuke rolled over to face Naruto, having been awake since Naruto got up. "Hm?" he inquired sleepily.

"Hungry? And my family is weird..." Smirking, Naruto handed him the note.

It took Sasuke only a second to read the note and then he smirked. "Let's eat... but up here..." he said. He wasn't really in the mood to move much. He was cozy and warm.

Chuckling, Naruto kissed his forehead. "Lazy cat," he teased affectionately before heading downstairs again to get a bedtray and two plates of food. Naruto reread the note as they ate. "'We probably won't be back until dinner time.' Heh, that means they won't be back till almost ten. When Baa-chan starts shopping, _especially_ around Christmas, it is almost impossible to convince her to come home. 'Just one more store! One more!'"

Sasuke chuckled. "Is that a bad thing?" he asked and finished off his meal by finishing off his orange juice.

"It is when you're footsore and tired from helping her carry a million bags." Naruto downed the last of his milk and set the tray on the floor, the note with it. He leaned back on his hands and smiled at Sasuke. "So now that we have the entire afternoon and evening to ourselves... What do you want to do?"

"Whatever you want me to," Sasuke answered with a half smile and settled back more comfortably into the headboard. He wanted to see what Naruto could come up with for entertainment for the two of them.

Naruto just smiled wider and crawled over to Sasuke, setting his head on Sasuke's lap and curling up comfortably with a happy sigh. "Then pet me," he commanded playfully.

"As you wish..." he muttered and began to idly run his fingers through Naruto's hair with one hand. His other hand was limp on the mattress beside him and his head was tilted back against the wall as his eyes closed to bask in the moment.

Naruto's own eyes closed and he purred quietly in contentment. He was still feeling the effects of the night before, diluted by sleep as they were. "Hey, Sasuke?" he asked softly a moment later.

"Hm?" he responded softly but instantly.

"Why did you choose me?" Naruto asked with quiet curiosity. "I mean, you can have literally anyone you want..." There was no insecurity or self-doubt in his voice, just honest curiosity. It had been months since he'd last asked Sasuke something like that and he wondered if time had changed the answer.

"You take me as I am... and who's to say that love isn't pre-determined on some level... but really, Naruto, I love you for being you because you love me for me... and see me as more than a pretty face with a very deep wallet," Sasuke answered his fingers never stilling as they ran repeatedly through Naruto's hair.

"Well yeah, there's that, and you also give great blow jobs," Naruto joked, smirking teasingly up at him.

Sasuke lifted his head from the wall and looked down at Naruto. "Oh, I do?" he asked lifting a brow. "Was there a suggestion in that?"

Naruto just shrugged and laid his cheek back down on Sasuke's thigh, his face softening again to its earlier state of peaceful bliss. "Pre-determined, huh?" he murmured, thinking about it. He did feel an incredibly deep connection with Sasuke that just couldn't be reasonably explained by the young life of their relationship. There were times when he could physically feel their bond, strong and secure and resistant to erosion. And when he thought about just how _complete_ he felt around Sasuke... Yes, pre-determined was a good way to put it.

Sasuke chuckled and leaned down to kiss his brow. "Don't be so pensive..." he murmured and straightened. Sometimes Naruto's pensive side could be unsettling. Sasuke wasn't sure what he was thinking, but he didn't want to see that expression.

"'Kay," Naruto said quietly. He sat up and straddled Sasuke's lap, wrapping an arm around his neck. His head came to rest on Sasuke's shoulder. A warm hand settled right over Sasuke's heart and Naruto smiled as he felt Sasuke's strong heartbeat.

"Good..." he replied and wrapped both arms around Naruto's waist. It was a little awkward with his newly uncasted arm. Just as it had been hard to adjust to the cast, it would be hard to adjust to not having it, but he managed. The exercises he was constantly performing were working. He slowly slid one hand up Naruto's back and covered Naruto's hand over his heart, holding it loosely.

Murring quietly, Naruto nuzzled at his neck and kissed him sweetly. "Wanna go downstairs and watch a movie?" he suggested.

Sasuke smirked and sighed contentedly. "Sure... lead the way."

Naruto nodded and got off the bed, grabbing the soiled sheets on his way out the room to put them in the washer. That done, he joined Sasuke in the living room to watch whatever movie Sasuke had chosen from the pile under the TV. Naruto didn't really care what they watched, so long as he got to cuddle.

"Simply Irresistible" had just started when Naruto joined him and Sasuke opened his arms to pull Naruto into a cuddle. He nuzzled Naruto's hair and then looked to the TV. "Ai shiteru..." he whispered.

"Love you too," Naruto whispered back, snuggling up to Sasuke. He only half paid attention to the movie, focused more on the feel of Sasuke around him. This was wonderful.

Sasuke's own attention was more on the feel of Naruto in his arms and the scent that this closeness enveloped him in, all Naruto. When the movie was over, he hugged the blond a little tighter and kissed his temple. "Koi..." he murmured and nuzzled Naruto's hair.

"Mmm..." Naruto leaned into the nuzzle and turned his head to kiss Sasuke. A playful glimmer in his eyes he stood up and walked up the stairs, shooting a glance over his shoulder at his lover. Arashi had advised to make good use of this alone time and Naruto planned to listen.

Blinking, Sasuke stood, but his slightly surprised look - Naruto almost never pulled away from a cuddle first - disappeared as he began to follow Naruto up the stairs, watching as Naruto's delectable backside swayed slightly as he meandered slowly up step by step.

His playful look turning wicked, Naruto pulled Sasuke into the bathroom and, after letting his robe fall to the floor, wrapped his arms around Sasuke's waist, pressing their bodies together and kissing him deeply. Quietly he moaned into Sasuke's mouth, loving the Sasuke's taste and the feel of their bodies touching everywhere.

Strong arms crushed him close as a gentle hand slid low on Naruto's back, gliding down to caress one firmly rounded globe of muscle before taking it in his hand and squeezing slowly. At the same time, he rolled his hips forward into Naruto's own moaning himself, the twin sounds mingling on their lips as they hungrily brushed their mouths together.

"In the tub," Naruto ordered huskily when they broke the kiss for air, the two of them grinding fiercely together now. He pulled away slowly and plugged the tub, turning the hot water faucet on. As the tub filled, he rummaged around under the sink until he found Mika's bathoils and grabbed the bottle they'd used the night before.

Groaning, Sasuke sank into the hot water, which was nice up until it engulfed his aching erection. Then he moaned softly, letting his head fall back slightly and biting his lower lip at the sheer agony of bliss. He didn't even register Naruto's eyes on him again until the blond was getting into the tub with him.

Naruto turned the water off when the tub was half full and got in, sitting on his heels. He poured a small handful of the oil into the water before smearing some on his fingers, crawling forward on his hands and knees until he was leaning over Sasuke. A wicked smirk on his face, he leaned down to take one of Sasuke's nipples into his mouth, sucking on it gently as he circled the other one with slick fingers.

Sasuke's eyes opened to mere-slits and glanced down with a soft moan, spreading his legs so Naruto could get close. "Naruto~..." he said his voice breathy and intoxicated with lust. His elegant hands clutched the edges of the tub and he let his head fall back again.

Purring, Naruto suckled harder, teasing the bud of flesh with teeth and tongue as the hand on the other nipple trailed down Sasuke's stomach. He stuck an oiled finger into Sasuke's navel before continuing down to his erection, grabbing it loosely and pumping slowly, rubbing oil onto the head on the upstrokes.

His grip tightening on the edges, Sasuke pressed his drawn up thighs into the side of tub. The caressing of Naruto's hand on his erection was delightful to his nerves and made him ache sweetly. Naruto's teasing was arousing and with nearly every suck on his nipple his member jumped in response. Sasuke's breathing was a little gaspy as he let his head tip back far enough to rest completely against the wall, which included sagging his shoulders back against the wall and slipping down a little in the tub.

Not pausing in his ministrations, Naruto scooted his knees up so that he didn't have to brace himself on one hand. The hand he had been using to support himself joined its mate in teasing Sasuke's nether regions, cupping and stroking his sacs. He released Sasuke's nipple from his mouth to trail moist lips up Sasuke's chest to his neck, biting lightly at his pulse.

Pale hands flew from the edge of the tub to splay over Naruto's slightly bent back, sliding down and then dragging his nails back up lightly. Naruto's hands were making Sasuke burn inside. Panting heavily, he turned his head to the side to give Naruto all the room he wanted on his neck.

Slowly, Naruto's oiled fingers glided from Sasuke's sacs to his entrance, circling it lightly. He kissed Sasuke's mouth briefly before gazing at him questioningly, making sure he had his permission before he continued. Naruto wanted to show Sasuke just how wonderful what he'd done to him the night before was.

When things came to a partial halt, Sasuke tipped his head straight and down to look into Naruto's deep blue eyes. A soft smile graced his pale lips and then he curled his left hand around the back of Naruto's neck, pulling him close. Their mouths just brushing, Sasuke whispered, "Please..." turning the word into a deep kiss, his tongue sliding into Naruto's mouth as an example of what he was asking for.

A low moan escaped Naruto's throat as he returned the kiss eagerly. Gently, he circled Sasuke's entrance, gradually increasing the pressure until the tip of his finger slid in. He mimicked Sasuke's example as best he could, the memory hazy with pleasure and lust. When he finally pushed two fingers in carefully, he broke the kiss and scooted back a bit until he could comfortably bend down. He released Sasuke's erection only to envelop it with his mouth, sucking long and slow as he probed Sasuke's insides with his fingers.

Sasuke tangled one hand in Naruto's hair and transferred his grip from the back of Naruto's neck to his shoulder. Pressing his thighs harder into the sides of the tub, he lifted his hips a little and let Naruto's fingers slide in deeper. It felt very odd but in a warm, good way to have someone else's fingers sliding in and out of his body, but the mouth on his member was enough distraction that he paid the slight and tiny discomfort almost no mind entirely.

Fortunately for Naruto - and for Sasuke, too - he only had to move his mouth up to the head of Sasuke's arousal in order to get air. And so he moved up and down Sasuke's length, coming up for air only when he had to. The fingers inside his lover continued to search gently, looking for that spot that would give Sasuke that amazing pleasure Naruto had felt last night.

Naruto's finger just barely brushed the lower edge of the bundle of nerves he was looking for, but even that small brush got a pleased reaction out of Sasuke. He groaned suddenly and deeply, letting his head fall back from watching Naruto devouring his erection to smack lightly against the bathroom wall, his body shuddering faintly. "God... Again..."

More than willing to comply, Naruto pushed his fingers up just a little more and brushed again. Passion-darkened blue eyes lifted to watch Sasuke's face as he teased him both inside and out. Wanting to add to Sasuke's pleasure, Naruto hummed softly as he devoured his lover's arousal.

Sasuke's back actually cracked as he arched up into Naruto's mouth. The hand in Naruto's hair tightened as did the hand on his shoulder, and Sasuke moaned long and low, his eyes shut tightly and his mouth open slightly, a mere parting of his lips. As his body relaxed, he trembled fiercely and pushed down on Naruto's fingers, eager for more of the mind shattering pleasure. "Motto..." he panted.

Naruto gave him more, but at an achingly slow pace. Lazily he bobbed his head on Sasuke's erection, and only when it was completely in his mouth did he brush against that bundle of nerves. Adding to the sensations, he cupped Sasuke's sacs in his free hand and toyed with them lightly. He was going to draw out Sasuke's pleasure as long as he could.

Sasuke's body flexed in pleasurable limbo, near the edge of release and then far away from it, for what seemed to him to be a blissful eternity. His body wouldn't let him glide back and forth from near-climax for long though, with both of them still learning their sexual boundaries and talents. When he finally came it was with a low moan of Naruto's name that built into a loud wordless groan much like the pleasure had built in him.

Eagerly, Naruto drank Sasuke's cum, still brushing that bundle of nerves as he did so. Gently, he withdrew his fingers and mouth and scooted up closer to Sasuke to kiss him lovingly, on his hands and knees again. "Told you it was good," he purred quietly, nibbling at Sasuke's bottom lip.

Currently, Sasuke was mass of limp limbs and jelly-muscles. His eyes trekked down, the only things seemingly willing to move, as Naruto nibbled his lower lip. His chest rose and fell heavily with each panted breath, but his lips did curve slightly into a smile. Slowly, his hand slipped from Naruto's hair and shoulder, falling limply into the cooling water. It took him a few minutes to work up the energy to return Naruto's kiss. He waited until he had at least most of his breath back as well, and even then the kiss he returned was slow and lazy, drawn out and made up of a slow dance of tongues slipping and sliding around each other and the press and caress of warm, smooth lips.

Leaning back, his heels on either side of his rear, Naruto wrapped his arms around Sasuke's shoulders and pulled him close, cradling him against his chest as he continued to kiss him. "I love you," he murmured when he broke the kiss, nuzzling at Sasuke's jaw. He slowly trailed one hand up and down Sasuke's back.

"I love you too..." Sasuke murmured back and reached down, sliding his hands under Naruto's thighs between his hamstrings and his calves. He lifted Naruto up and onto his lap, closing his legs so that Naruto's knees could rest on either side of his hips. That put Naruto into the position of being slightly taller than him and, as he pulled Naruto's calves up to wrap around his waist, he nipped, nibbled and licked at Naruto's throat. "What do you want me to do...?" he asked softly, willing to take any suggestion Naruto would give him to help Naruto get off too.

Naruto moaned quietly and let his head fall back to give Sasuke as much room as he needed, moving his arms up to tighten around Sasuke's neck. "Anything..." he breathed huskily, rocking his hips a bit and gasping as his arousal rubbed against Sasuke's stomach. The legs about Sasuke's waist tightened, pulling Naruto closer to get more friction.

Sasuke's hands encircled Naruto's hips and tightened his stomach, pulling Naruto against the smooth skin and hard muscles there. "How about..." he breathed against the skin over Naruto's pulse. "We rinse off... and while we do that... I'll take care of you... Ne?" And he ended that suggestion with a nibble to the heartbeat he found there.

Gasping, Naruto nodded, his pulse quickening at the teeth on it and at the deliciousness of the friction on his arousal. "S-sounds good." Breathing harshly, he ducked his head to capture Sasuke's mouth in a deep, passionate kiss.

Tightening his hold on Naruto's hips, Sasuke slid his feet under him and got to his feet without breaking the kiss. He used his foot to flip the drain switch and then slowly eased Naruto to his own feet, turning the water on so that the shower was warm and running on them. He turned them then so that Naruto's back was against the wall opposite the shower doors and then swiftly fell to his one knee. Grasping Naruto's hips, the water soaking down his hair, he licked his lips and looked up at Naruto to make sure the blond was watching.

Strong fingers tangled in Sasuke's hair as Naruto gazed at him, his breath catching at the sight of Sasuke licking his lips so close to his aching arousal. A small smile turned up the corners of Naruto's panting mouth and he tugged encouragingly on midnight hair, eager to feel that beloved mouth on him.

Sasuke's smirk turned evil and he turned his full attention to Naruto's erection, letting go of Naruto's left hip to cradle Naruto's sacs in his hand instead, massaging them gently. He ducked his head and lapped like a kitten laps at milk at the small, raised ridge of flesh near the indention on the underside of the head that defined head from shaft. He'd found out for himself that stimulating that was almost as wonderful as stimulating the prostate, though on a much smaller scale, and that it was best done during hand jobs and blow jobs. A little prior knowledge that he'd never share with Naruto if he was never forced to. Shaking his mind from the past in a hurry, he lapped one last time before letting his tongue slide up to tease the slit which leaked with Naruto's excitement. Sasuke purred as the taste of his lover tickled his tongue.

"Sasuke..." Naruto moaned, bucking slightly against Sasuke's hand on his hip. His knees were already feeling a little weak and Sasuke'd barely begun to torture him, but Sasuke could make him feel that way with only a look. Eyelids drooping, he continued to watch his lover through a haze of passion, drinking in the sight of Sasuke bringing him off as if it were ambrosia. Fine tremors ran through him as that warm tongue teased his hot, swollen flesh. He wanted Sasuke to never stop... never stop making him feel this way, never stop loving him, never stop being with him, never stop being Sasuke... his Sasuke...

Sasuke's hand held Naruto pinned to the wall so that he neither slipped or bucked. Naruto erection was weeping to be swallowed and Sasuke was more than happy to oblige, having tormented Naruto enough for the time being. Opening his mouth, he deepthroated Naruto slowly, closing his lips over swollen flesh and swallowing reflexively as soon as Naruto's head hit the back of his throat. He hummed softly as Naruto had done to him, figuring that if Naruto had done it to him, it was a safe bet that Naruto himself would probably like it. He'd find out for sure in two seconds though.

Oh did he ever. Naruto shuddered strongly at the vibrations the hum sent trough him and his eyelids fell the rest of the way as he groaned loudly, throwing his head back in pleasure and straining against Sasuke's hand, trying to buck. "Sasuke... God, Sasuke..." he gasped. While he couldn't thrust he did manage to wriggle, gasping again at the feel of the head of his arousal rubbing against the back of Sasuke's throat. This was heaven.

Swallowing and humming alternately, Sasuke bobbed his head and let his mouth fill with saliva. The wetter the better, or so he'd determined for himself. Naruto seemed to be enjoying it, so Sasuke just kept going one the hand fondling his lover's sacs loosened its hold and turned so that he could both massage Naruto's sacs and rub his middle fingertip back and forth along the perineum, stroking and pressing into the small expanse of skin there, stimulating Naruto's prostate though weakly compared to internal stimulation.

Softly screaming Sasuke's name, Naruto fell over the edge, filling his lover's mouth with salty-bitter cum. He was tense for a long moment before his muscles relaxed and he slumped, the only thing holding him up being Sasuke's hand on his hip. Panting heavily he hung there, his eyes shut tight in bliss as his mind spun and his body shivered from the aftershocks. Each time he came at Sasuke's hand was better than the last, no matter the method it took. Slowly his eyes opened, revealing passion-hazy blue to gaze down at the young man kneeling in front of him.

Sasuke was slowly licking Naruto clean with the focus a child often gave to ice cream on a really hot day. When he was finished, he licked his lips and then stood slowly before pressing his body against Naruto's pushing the blond against the wall to kiss him their tastes, Sasuke's faint and Naruto's fresh, mingling on their tongues.

Boneless arms lifted slowly to wrap loosely around Sasuke's neck as Naruto lazily kissed him back, purring quietly as their tastes merged. "My Sasuke... I love you..." he breathed, his chest still rising and falling heavily. "Mine always..."

"Forever..." Sasuke agreed and then reached over to turn the shower off. They were rinsed enough. Silently, he bent and scooped Naruto up, carrying him out of the shower and then setting him on his feet as soon as they were in reach of the towel rack. Pulling a towel off, Sasuke toweled them both off at the same time since Naruto practically needed to hang from his neck to stay on his feet and then Sasuke lifted him into his arms again and carried him into the bedroom where they settled together under the covers.

Naruto pulled Sasuke close, using him as a blanket. His breathing even again, he slowly combed one set of fingers through Sasuke's hair, loving the intimate feel of his lover resting on top of him. His other hand rested lightly on the middle of Sasuke's back. "I can't wait until we go back to the apartment," he said quietly, nuzzling at Sasuke's crown. "Just you and me... living together... doing whatever we want without worrying about anyone else..." His soft smile was evident in his voice.

A soft sigh ghosted over Naruto's neck and chest as Sasuke settled more comfortably on top of Naruto's body. "I can't wait," he murmured earnestly. "To have you all to myself. To love you in any room of our home at any hour..." And he didn't mean just the sexual stuff. He meant cuddling and everything else they could do that might sometimes seem awkward or inappropriate in the presence of company.

"Our home..." Naruto murmured, testing the feel of it on his tongue. "Our home... ours..." His heart swelled at the idea of his home being wherever Sasuke was and he hugged Sasuke tighter.

Chuckling softly, Sasuke nuzzled Naruto's throat and twined their legs together comfortably. "Yes... our home," he repeated and smiled, feeling his own heart tighten at the thought of truly living with Naruto as a couple.

Naruto smiled and kissed Sasuke's temple. A thought hit him and he began to giggle wickedly.

"What?" Sasuke asked, instantly wary.

"Baa-chan doesn't know yet that we got an apartment," Naruto said with a grin.

"Oh... What do you think she'll say?" Sasuke asked, not really upset or wary over the thought.

"She'll have a fit. 'It's too early. Are you sure you're doing the right thing? What if it doesn't work?' ...Which is why I plan on not telling her at all. I'll leave a note just before we head back so Dad can deal with the explosion." Naruto sniggered.

Sasuke smirked with a soft snort. "I suppose... You don't think it's too early do you?" Sasuke certainly didn't. But if Naruto's grandmother thought so... might Naruto think so as well? Could he be keeping self-doubts or doubts in general to himself?

Naruto shook his head immediately. "Nope." If anything it was a little late for them to get a place of their own, in Naruto's mind.

"Good..." Sasuke murmured, his tiny fears evaporating instantly.

Still laughing softly, Naruto shifted a bit to distribute Sasuke's weight more evenly and closed his eyes with a happy sigh. "And then there's summer... three months of absolute freedom..." he said quietly, thinking out loud.

And it would be three months of absolute freedom. Neither of them _had_ to work, though they might be lucky enough to maintain their understudy jobs with Jiraiya and Kakashi. Sasuke sighed happily and nuzzled Naruto's chin. "I love you..."

"Love you too, beautiful," Naruto murred quietly and let his head fall to the side, hoping that Sasuke would nuzzle at the base of his jaw. That was one of Naruto's favorite spots.

As if reading Naruto's mind, Sasuke complied, taking advantage of the opportunity more or less. His nose grazed the sensitive spot followed by soft lips. "Have I ever told you," he breathed into Naruto's ear. "How absolutely gorgeous you are...?" And then his tongue caressed Naruto's jaw.

"Mmmm, no... do tell," Naruto murmured, his voice thick with mirth. A light shiver ran through him at the warm moisture on his jaw and he smiled. He loved it when Sasuke did that.

"Your face... your eyes... Your..." Sasuke's tongue trailed over Naruto's lips. "Mouth... when you cum... when you smile... it makes me breathless. Makes my heart stop beating sometimes..." he murmured and lapped at Naruto's mouth again his eyes focused on Naruto's lips entreating entrance.

"Well that's not good. I like it better when your heart's beating. Means you're alive and I like you better alive," Naruto joked, bright eyes dancing. "Not breathing is a bad thing too."

Sasuke's eyes flicked to Naruto's eyes and narrowed. "Usurakontachi," he muttered and nipped Naruto's bottom lip for his "disobedience".

"I am not!" Naruto protested, razzing him cheerfully.

Smirking for a split second, Sasuke leaned in and caught Naruto's tongue, coaxing it into his mouth so he could suck on it gently before brushing it with his own. He'd gotten what he'd wanted anyway.

Naruto blinked in surprise before giving in with a quiet almost-growl, tightening his grip in Sasuke's hair as he kissed him back. "That was evil," he pouted when they broke apart for air, wrinkling his nose playfully at Sasuke.

"Evil?" Sasuke asked licking his lips. "I didn't think so. I thought it was... tasty..." he added his smirk wicked.

Scoffing in amusement Naruto grabbed his nose. "I meant you're evil, stupid," he teased.

Sasuke chuckled a little. "So be it... if evil is what it takes..." he murmured and then lowered his head to Naruto's chest with a soft yawn. He was feeling lazy and like a nap.

Naruto yawned too and felt his eyelids droop. "Now you got me started," he muttered.

Sasuke smiled sleepily. "Not my fault... you wore me out..." he muttered and snuggled closing his eyes. "Sleep sounds good, though, doesn't it?"

"Oh, I wore you out? Hmm, I'll keep that in mind... That way the next time you're getting on my nerves I know what to do," Naruto teased affectionately. He yawned again. "Yeah, sleep does sound good." Sasuke's only answer was even and deep breathing. "And you're asleep already..." Naruto chuckled quietly and let sleep wash over him.

---

"We're home!" Mika called as she walked into the house just after eleven, loaded down with shopping bags. "Naruto? Sasuke?"

Arashi tilted his head and closed his eyes. He sensed them. "They're asleep already..." he said and then added, "If they ever even got up to begin with." As he set the bags he was carrying by the couch.

"They are?" Mika set her bags next to Arashi's and went upstairs. Quietly, she knocked on the boys' door and opened it when she got no answer. The room was dark and she could just make out the shape of two sleeping bodies huddled together in the faint moonlight coming in through Naruto's window. ::They are... huh.:: She quietly closed the door again and, after doing a quick check around the house, rejoined Arashi in the living room. "Oh they got up alright. More of my bathoils are gone and there's a soggy set of sheets in the washer," she complained lightly, not really annoyed but complaining because she could. "And how did you know they're asleep already?"

"Lucky guess," Arashi stated and looked over his shoulder at her as he made his way into the kitchen heading straight for the fridge. "Should we wake them up for dinner or should we wait until breakfast...?"

"Judging by the mess of plates in the sink I'd say they already ate," Mika said with a sigh, shaking her head in amusement. "Your son can't make anything without making a mess of it."

"Sounds like me," Arashi called over his shoulder in amusement. "He'll get past that stage. I did."

Mika blinked at him in mock surprise. "You did?"

"Yep-... Aw... damn it..." he groaned. He hadn't meant to divulge that information.

"I guess that means I get to sleep in tomorrow and not worry about my kitchen blowing up while you make breakfast," Mika said, her voice thick with amusement. And it wasn't a suggestion.

Arashi scowled. He'd been the idiot to screw up so he couldn't really complain. He was at fault.

Chuckling, Mika kissed his cheek. "That also means you get to make dinner while I take a shower. Grilled turkey and tomato sandwich please. Big one." Before he could reply, she was already halfway up the stairs.

Grumbling, Arashi started to make her order... but really he was more amused than anything. When she came back down, it was ready for her and he was already eating his.

"Thank you, baby," she said as she sat down and began to devour her sandwich. "Mm. Don't forget, we're going to that huge party on Christmas Eve. Did you find your old tux?"

"Yeah, I dropped it off at the dry cleaners and I have a refitting scheduled for Thursday," Arashi answered around a mouthful that he covered with his hand. "Did you tell the boys? They might like enough time to get fitted for tuxes themselves..."

"We can take them tomorrow. Naruto never got over his, 'Baa-chan, get out of the dressing room!' phase so I'm going to need your help."

Arashi shook his head. "He has Sasuke. Let them go out together for their tuxes. They can surprise us with what they get."

"Or that works too," Mika said with a shrug. "As long as Naruto sticks to a black tux I don't care what he gets. I sent him to buy a suit once and he came back with a bright orange one. It was horrid."

Arashi laughed outright. "I'll tell Sasuke," he assured her and stood. "Good night, Mom," he murmured as he hugged her and kissed her cheek. "It's good to be home."

"It's good to have you home," Mika said as she hugged him tightly back. "This house was just too empty without you."

He kissed her hair then and hugged her a little tighter. "I love you, mom," he said and then let her go. "I'll see you in the morning."

"I love you too, Arashi. Sleep well."

----------Christmas Eve------------
Arashi leaned casually against the inside of the door of Naruto's bedroom, dressed to the nines in his own black tuxedo. He was a sight to behold, all grace and gorgeous body. But at the moment his expression bespoke of impatience. "Stop pawing each other and get dressed already," he said for the twenty-third time.

Naruto scowled at him, but he did pull his jacket on and tried his best not to drool at the sight of Sasuke in a black tux with sapphire vest. It was taking a lot of willpower to not rip the tux _off_ him.

"Are they ready yet?!" Mika yelled up the stairs. "We have to get going!!"

"Almost, MOM!" Arashi yelled back and looked at Sasuke who was pulling his tux coat on. "Let's go before she has a heart attack or an aneurism or something..." he grumbled, rolling his eyes.

"I HEARD THAT, ARASHI!"

"You're in trouble," Naruto teased.

"Yes, MOM! SORRY _MOM_..." Arashi grumbled.

Sasuke smirked and the three of them headed down the stairs. They all looked at her expectantly.

"About time... Jeez, I almost thought you'd turned into girls on me with how long you were taking," Mika grumbled, wearing a very pretty emerald dress that Naruto and Arashi had surprised her with for the party. "And don't say it's your father's fault when you would have taken twice as long had he _not_ been making sure you were getting ready!" she said, cutting Naruto off just as he opened his mouth and making him razz her.

Sasuke shook his head and said softly, "Let's go so we can get back... ne?"

"I'm with him," Arashi stated calmly.

Sighing in mock frustration, Mika threw her hands up. "Men! Into the car, all of you!"

It wasn't a long drive to the reception hall where the annual neighborhood party was being held. Everybody in the neighborhood who planned on going that year contributed to the renting of the hall and cost of catering. It was a tradition everyone loved. ...Well, almost everyone. Naruto didn't exactly dislike the annual Christmas Eve party because he got to see a lot of childhood playmates, but there was a problem he always had to face at this gathering. Two really. Emily and her big sister Hannah. Hannah was the same age as Naruto and ten times as bad as Emily. The only thing good about her was that she'd gone to a private high school a couple states away, so he didn't have to put up with her half as often as Emily. Now she went to a university on the other side of the country, which meant he only had to deal with her at Christmas. That still didn't make her any less annoying. The instant they walked into the ballroom, Naruto dashed towards one of the more populated areas. More people meant more obstacles to shove in his parasites' paths.

Mika, used to Naruto taking off immediately at these gatherings, sought out some of her friends.

Arashi was immediately swamped by old friends and settled into reminiscing and sharing new tales.

Sasuke simply followed Naruto asking carefully, "What... exactly are we doing?"

"Hiding. If you see Emily or a girl that looks like her but our age and slutty tell me so I can dive under a table."

Sasuke nodded and took his hand without thinking, keeping his 'fangirl radar' on all frequencies. He pulled Naruto to the buffet table. "Hungry?" he asked, trying to ignore the press of so many bodies and attempting to focus solely on Naruto.

"For more things than one," Naruto murmured just for Sasuke's ears, giving him a wink as he reached for a plate. Sasuke looked absolutely delicious and Naruto wouldn't mind in the least having his lover on the menu.

A soft smirk graced Sasuke's lips as he leaned in around Naruto to grab a plate himself, pressing against him and murmuring in his ear, "Have you ever done anything naughty in a place where you just might get caught before?" he whispered.

Naruto shook his head, smirking at the feel of Sasuke against his back. "Unless home counts."

"Hmm... no, they expect it of us there... but here..." he smirked and licked Naruto's ear as he straightened.

"After we eat... search for a quiet corner?" Naruto suggested quietly. "There's a garden out back that's probably deserted, Dad and Baa-chan won't miss us."

"Oh, so you're game?" Sasuke smirked wickedly. "Good. I'll go get us something to drink. Be right back." And then he was walking through the crowd.

Chuckling, Naruto rolled his eyes and filled his plate with food. Of course he was game. As soon as Sasuke got back, they searched for a table and found one almost behind one of the many Christmas trees that lined the room, giving them semi-privacy. "I think I see Dad," Naruto said around a mouthful. He squinted a bit, trying to see what Arashi was doing and burst out laughing.

"What?" Sasuke asked softly and tried to follow Naruto's gaze.

"Dad's getting swamped. I guess all the single and divorced women heard he's single again. But from what I can tell he doesn't mind at all."

Sasuke saw and shook his head. "Well, I know where you get your good looks from."

Naruto smiled and kissed the spot behind Sasuke's ear. "Thank you, love."

Sasuke turned his head and looked Naruto right in the eye. "It's the truth..." he murmured, and kissed Naruto on the lips gently. "Piece of watermelon?" he asked offering Naruto the small chopped piece he held in his fingers.

His smile turning into a smirk, Naruto took the fruit from Sasuke's fingers with his teeth.

The heated look in Sasuke's eyes displayed his pleasure with Naruto's playfulness and as he pulled his fingers away, he caressed Naruto's lower lip lightly as a reward.

Naruto swallowed the watermelon and was about to lean in and kiss Sasuke when he spotted a bunch of people their age. "Be right back," he said as he stood up. "I see some of my friends. Unless you wanna come and meet them?"

Sasuke looked between his plate of food and his drink and then at the crowd of rowdy looking people. "I'll think I'll follow you when I'm done with this..." he said pointing to the plate.

"Okay." Naruto kissed Sasuke's temple and headed for his friends, only to get jumped on the way.

"Hey, trickster. Long time no see!" a small, pretty Indian girl in an elaborate sari said as she hugged Naruto's arm and pecked him on the cheek. "How've you been?"

"Well if it isn't Scheherazade, coming to the great all-knowing fox for stories to tell her latest jealous boyfriend so she doesn't lose her head," Naruto teased.

The girl huffed and let him go, crossing her arms in a pout.

Naruto laughed and pulled her into a hug which she readily returned. "It's good to see you, Buran."

"Good to see you too, fox-boy." Buran let him go and winked at him saucily. "You still looking, handsome? I'm actually free at the moment if you can believe it."

Chuckling, Naruto was about to answer when he felt a familiar, possessive arm circle his waist.

"He's taken," Sasuke murmured, answering for him while pulling Naruto close. Black eyes took in the girl before him, sizing her up, but not judging her.

"What he said. Are you done eating already?"

Buran looked Sasuke up and down with appreciative eyes and grinned. "Nice catch, fox. Looks like your luck finally changed." She stuck her hand out and introduced herself. "Buran."

Smirking, Sasuke reached out and took her fingers gingerly bringing them up to his lips to kiss her knuckles rather than shake her hand. "Uchiha Sasuke. Sasuke will do."

"A pleasure, Sasuke," she said with a slight curtsy. "Just to let you know, it was my last resort you snatched. If you ever get tired of him though..." She wiggled her hips a bit and winked playfully.

Naruto rolled his eyes at her in amusement. "Ignore her," he told Sasuke. "She's harmless, honestly."

"Oh, I don't plan on ever tiring of him... there's always something new to do with him... he's a versatile toy," Sasuke murmured smirking.

Buran laughed brightly as Naruto sputtered and blushed fiercely, giving Sasuke an incredulous look. "I like you. You're lucky you're taken otherwise right now would be the time where I jump you."

"Try and you're dead," Naruto muttered, transferring his _look_ to her.

Sasuke chuckled. "Sorry... Naruto may swing both ways but I only swing one..." and he emphasized that statement with a light kiss to Naruto's cheek.

"Well damn," Buran pouted, looking a little miffed. "Why are all the perfect ones gay or taken?"

"Because if they weren't they'd have you to deal with and then they'd all die from heartbreak as you jumped from one to another," a tall young man with carrot-orange hair said as he draped an arm over her shoulders. "Hey, Naruto. Found him!" he called over his shoulder, summoning a small group of teenagers.

Naruto smiled, his blush fading, and said, "Hey, Rick. Guys." There was a quick round of introductions so that Sasuke could meet everyone, a moment where they all had to tease Naruto about finally having a significant other, and then the catching up began.

Sasuke was polite and courteous throughout the introductions and quiet during his lover's reminiscing, but his hand tightened on Naruto's arm subtly when a chill ran down his spine, making him shiver. It was the same chill he got when one of his fangirls found him... only this chill came from a look that was impersonal, meaning it wasn't directed at him... which meant it was directed at -

"Naruto DARLING!" A blond girl in a very revealing dress - very low-cut, skin tight, and slit up the sides to her hips - latched onto Naruto's neck and pulled him close for a kiss before he could react. But her mouth didn't meet another set of lips... Confused, she pulled away to see a hand covering Naruto's mouth. A hand that was attached to the strange boy behind him, who immediately earned a glare from her. How dare anyone come between her and her Naruto!

The instant Naruto'd heard Hannah's voice he'd cringed. Right now, he was immensely glad for Sasuke's rescue. He _hated_ being kissed by Hannah.

"Who the hell are you?" Sasuke asked his tone filled with disdain. She had _not_ just tried to kiss HIS Naruto.

"Sasuke, this is Hannah, Naruto's parasite," Buran explained before said girl could say something caustic. "Hannah, this is Sasuke, Naruto's boyfriend."

"She's Emily's sister," Naruto added, not bothering to try and take Sasuke's hand off his face because he did _not_ want to give Hannah the opening.

Hannah's eyes narrowed and she glared venomously at Sasuke. "Get your hands off him," she growled. She'd heard Buran but refused to believe it. Naruto was promised to her, after all! Her mother had said so!

"Oh? You think I should," Sasuke said coldly, turning the temperature of his attention on her down several degrees. Sasuke dropped his hand from Naruto's mouth, but he was quick in putting them on Naruto's shoulders and turning Naruto around to face him. Hauling him close, Sasuke then lifted his hands and cupped Naruto's face gently, lovingly between them and leaned his forehead to Naruto's. "Itooshii," he murmured softly then pressed his mouth to Naruto's, closing his eyes slowly. He was showing Hannah exactly what he thought of her demand in no uncertain terms.

Hannah blinked audibly, her eyes getting huge as she watched this strange boy kiss her love. And when Naruto's hands came up to clutch Sasuke's coat to pull him even closer, red licked at the edge of her vision. She dove forward to tear them apart but was restrained by hands on her arms.

Purring deep in his chest, Naruto parted his lips, asking Sasuke to enter and forgetting about everything else. He didn't even notice the cheerful catcalls from his friends or Hannah's outraged protests as she tried to break free from her captors.

With a huge grin on her face, Buran stood on tip-toe to murmur in Sasuke's ear, "I suggest you two find a more private spot. We'll take care of the overgrown pit-bull."

Sasuke broke the kiss, pulling his tongue back into his own mouth - but not before he caressed the inside of Naruto's lower lip with it - and nodded once with a smirk. "Naruto..." he murred and caressed Naruto's cheeks with his thumbs. "Let's make use of the dance floor before the bitch-in-heat over there gets loose..." he finished by leaning in and whispering the last part in Naruto's ear, his lips brushing the outer shell. The dance floor was both populated and private at the same time, perfect to hide from Hannah and to tease each other.

Naruto nodded and took Sasuke's hand to lead the way. He jumped in surprise when a hand met his rear in a light slap. "Buran..." he growled, turning his head to glare at her half-heartedly.

She just grinned and shrugged. "Just couldn't pass it up. Now get out of here, lovebirds."

Shaking his head at her, Naruto pulled Sasuke out onto the dance floor. There was a loud shriek behind them and when he looked back, he was delighted to see that one of his friends had "accidentally" spilled some eggnog on the front of Hannah's dress. "You think she'd learn... someone does that to her every year."

"Some people are just dense... Like Ino..." Sasuke muttered as they found a decent spot on the dance floor and turned to face each other. It was a slow modern song, showing that the kids had finally gotten their way and no longer had to suffer through the evil waltzes and Christmas ballads anymore. Sasuke didn't know that, however, and just smirked as familiar lyrics crooned through the speakers. Savage Garden's "Truly Madly Deeply"... How fitting.

"Oh believe me, Hannah beats Ino in the dense department." Naruto smirked and wrapped his arms around Sasuke's waist. "Sorry if I step on your toes. I've never been good at this kind of thing."

Sasuke looked at the arms around his waist and shrugged a little to himself, stepping in closer to Naruto. He settled his arms around Naruto's body, holding him about the upper arms and shoulders so that he could rest his head on Naruto's shoulder. "I'm tempted to believe that..." he murmured as he started to sway them to the music.

Chuckling, Naruto rested his cheek on Sasuke's shoulder and let him lead as they moved. This was very nice... They danced like that for a few slow songs but as soon as a fast one started Naruto let Sasuke go and pulled him from the dance floor. "Now I definitely am gonna step on your toes if we even try... You thirsty?"

"Yeah... you stay here," Sasuke ordered, putting Naruto's back against the wall. "I'll be right back with something to drink." And then he was weaving his way through the crowd towards the punch table.

Sasuke had only been gone for a few moments when Naruto suddenly heard, "Naruto-sweetheart... Look." Emily, of course, and she was standing not more than three feet from him... and pointing up.

Naruto looked up and groaned. Mistletoe. He immediately started scooting far enough away that he couldn't be considered almost under it. "No," he said firmly.

"Close enough!" she called and leapt on him. She'd almost landed on him and would have probably succeeded in kissing him if it hadn't been for Sasuke catching her about the waist with one arm and swinging her, finally setting her down when he was between her and Naruto. The wineglass in his one hand was unspilt.

"I don't think so," Sasuke said to her as she stared up at him with surprise. She was so shocked at his swift rescue that she didn't say a word as he turned to face Naruto. She just stared at Sasuke's back. "The garden?" he asked softly, holding the wineglass to him. "It's good. Your dad said we could share the glass."

"Sure." Naruto took the glass and sipped at the white wine as he showed Sasuke the way to the garden. All the plants except the pine trees were dead or sleeping, but it wasn't as cold as it could have been. There was a thick layer of snow on the ground - they'd gotten the first snow of the season that morning - and the night was relatively warm. They didn't go out into the snow but stayed along the paths, which had overhangs to keep them clear.

Sasuke took the wine glass and sipped from it as he looped an arm around Naruto's waist, pulling him close. "Warm enough?" he asked softly.

Naruto nodded and smiled in contentment, draping an arm over Sasuke's hips. "Look, there's a full moon tonight," he said quietly, looking up at it.

Stopping them, Sasuke looked up and offered Naruto the glass of wine. "It's lovely... but no where near as lovely... or handsome as you..." he purred as he lowered his head and turned it so he could nuzzle Naruto's ear the moment he'd finished his sip of wine.

"Y'know, one of these days I'm gonna get a big head from all your compliments and then you're not gonna be able to stand me anymore," Naruto joked quietly, leaning into the nuzzle. He sipped the wine slowly, taking the time to enjoy the taste. It was a very good vintage.

"Even if your head gets big, I'll still love you," he murmured and it felt like he'd been saying things like that for years. It was an odd feeling, but one he never wanted to lose. It was as though he felt like saying it was accomplishing something... getting past something he couldn't remember being in his way or even what it was. But he said it anyway.

Naruto chuckled and turned his head to kiss Sasuke softly. "Good to know," he said with a bright smile, his eyes dancing with love and tenderness. He felt as if he'd heard such things in Sasuke's voice his entire life, and he reasoned that feeling to have something to do with that one time the rapport had opened wide between them, leaving them with the feeling that they had literally known each other for eternity.

"How about we find somewhere quiet to spend a little time away from your rabid groupies, ne?" Sasuke suggested.

"Okay." Naruto took one last sip of the wine before handing the glass to Sasuke, only about a gulp left. "Lead the way."

Downing the last of the wine, Sasuke set it in plain sight of the windows so the caterers couldn't miss it, but if it was still there when they headed back, he'd grab it along the way and return it. Looping his arm about Naruto's body again, Sasuke pulled Naruto deeper into the garden while looking for a nice secluded spot... and smirked when he found one.

Buffeted from the wind on three and a half sides, the tiny little alcove of evergreen bushes looked as though it were made for exactly what he intended to use it for. Pulling Naruto into the circle of the bushes, he found that inside was a stone bench and it was there that he settled Naruto and sat beside him, pulling him close. There wasn't any snow inside the alcove due to the fact that it rested under an eave of the building itself - a ledge off the side of the kitchen which was attached to the buffet area of the rented hall - and Sasuke was thankful for the thick plush cushion that covered the bench, making it warmer to sit on and much more comfortable. He assumed that this little nook had been designed as a place for a bride and groom to run away from the press of the reception guests for a little while when the hall had been rented out for wedding receptions.

It didn't matter. It was private, hard to see unless you were looking, and warmer than actual outside even though the outside itself wasn't all that cold. "Good enough?" he asked and nuzzled Naruto's ear.

"Mmm." Smiling softly, Naruto leaned into Sasuke, holding him close with an arm snug around his waist. "We can't stay here too long, though. Knowing Baa-chan, someone will dare her to drink a bunch of eggnog and then we'll have to rescue her and take her home before she gets really tipsy," he said, chuckling. "Happens every year without fail. Her friends tease her that I do a better job taking care of her than she does me."

"Your dad's here now..." Sasuke murmured and nuzzled Naruto cheek, his tongue flicking out to caress the corner of Naruto's mouth.

"True... but there's no guarantee he won't do the same thing. Actually, I can see Dad doing that..." Naruto nuzzled him back, rubbing their noses together and biting the tip of Sasuke's nose playfully.

"Yeah... I can too," Sasuke murmured with a soft chuckle as he tried to gently nip at Naruto's lower lip. It was so quiet. All they could hear beneath the whisper of the light wind was the slight hum of the party going on inside the building.

Grinning, Naruto pulled his face away, making Sasuke have to chase him to get a kiss or nuzzle.

"Baka," he grumbled and leaned closer and thus partially over Naruto. If Naruto continued to retreat, they'd end up with Naruto on his back on the bench and Sasuke... on top of him. Sasuke decided he liked that idea.

But Naruto wasn't going to let Sasuke lay on him. Not yet anyway. Still grinning, Naruto let go of Sasuke and scooted to the far end of the bench.

"Evil..." Sasuke muttered and chased after him by scooting closer himself. He reached out to grab Naruto and pull him close again, or at least that was his intention.

Naruto stood up and escaped to the other end of the bench, doing his best not to laugh at the almost pouty expression on Sasuke's face.

Sasuke sighed and straightened, settling with a hand on each knee. He'd be damned if he'd chase Naruto much longer than that.

Used to Sasuke not playing along like he wanted, Naruto just leaned back a bit. He waited patiently for Sasuke to crack, a wicked smirk on his lips.

"Cheeky bastard," Sasuke muttered and turned, pouncing after Naruto by moving swiftly with the aim to catch him.

Naruto just managed to evade his grip, ducking under Sasuke's arm and laughing as he backpedaled away from the bench. His laughter was cut off when he hit the wall with an "oof!"

And that's when Sasuke caught him. Grinning wickedly, Sasuke pinned him there against the wall and nuzzled at his neck immediately. "I win..." he breathed against Naruto's pulse and then kissed the breath-warmed spot as he pressed his body into Naruto's.

"Man, you always win," Naruto complained cheerfully, looping strong arms around Sasuke's waist to pull him closer. He let his head fall to the side a bit so that his lover had more room to play.

"And that is the only complaint I ever get..." Sasuke murmured and licked at Naruto's neck, loving the taste of his lover's chilled skin. One hand slid down Naruto's left arm, tangling their fingers together tightly while the other hand came up to cup the side of Naruto's neck, gently holding him in place as he pinned him to the wall. "You look edible in this tux, Naruto..." he whispered and let his teeth graze Naruto's jaw right where he liked it.

A quiet moan ghosted past Naruto's lips and he shivered lightly. He loved it when Sasuke teased that spot at the base of his jaw. "I could say the same for you... I've wanted to jump you ever since you put it on," he whispered, voice beginning to get husky.

Sasuke's grin was devilish as he licked that same spot and the nibbled it. He loved how so simple a little section of skin could get Naruto's blood positively boiling. "What's stopping you?" he purred.

Naruto had to wait until he got his breath back to answer, it having left him in a sharp gasp at the feel of Sasuke nibbling that spot. "Mmmm... the look on the dry-cleaner's face when they find cum on the pants," he joked huskily.

"Who says you'll even get any on the pants? You won't with what I have in mind..." Sasuke answered huskily laving his tongue against that spot some more.

"Oh? Do tell..." Naruto purred, fine tremors running through his body as his mind supplied him with possible images.

"If I'm swallowing it... it isn't going to get anywhere but... in me..." he murmured logically and nibbled Naruto's earlobe.

Naruto moaned, the sensation of Sasuke's teeth on his ear adding to his aroused state. His slacks getting a little too tight for comfort he shifted. Slowly, his hands glided down Sasuke's back to his rear, squeezing gently in encouragement for him to continue.

"What do you want, Naruto?" he asked softly, pressing his lips close enough to Naruto's ear that the words and his breath kissed the sensitive shell in a husky whisper. "Do you want me to?"

"Please..." Naruto breathed, spreading his legs in an attempt to relieve the pressure in his pants. It had the opposite effect and he gasped harshly, his hands reflexively pulling Sasuke closer to press their hips together.

He nuzzled Naruto's throat again whispering, "All you ever have to do is ask..." softly on the way down to his knees. It didn't take him long at all to get Naruto's tux shirt untucked and unbuttoned from the bottom to Naruto's navel so that Sasuke could tuck the ends around and out of his way without exposing too much skin to the chill air. He then unbuttoned and unzipped Naruto's slacks, shoving them low on his hips and shoving his boxers down even farther at the same time he lifted Naruto's erection free of his pants with hands that were never cold to begin with. Knowing the cold air wasn't going to be conducive to this little tryst, Sasuke immediately engulfed Naruto's member in his mouth, sucking and swirling his tongue all over it, rubbing it on the ridge of the flesh on the underside of the head and side to side across the large vein that ran the length of the underside.

His breathing ragged in moments Naruto bucked weakly into Sasuke's mouth, holding himself back from thrusting outright so as not to choke him. "Sasuke..." he moaned, tangling his fingers in raven hair. Any cold that he had felt was completely blown away as pleasure warmed him from the inside out, his nerves sparking. His knees felt ready to buckle at the wonderful stimulation Sasuke was giving him. The feel of Sasuke's tongue on his length never failed to make him go limp. "God, Sasuke..."

Looking up the length of Naruto's body, Sasuke's eyes narrowed treacherously and he began to bob his head, pulling back and then taking Naruto's length to the back of his throat for a few good swallows before pulling away again. His own hands came up, slipping up the back of Naruto's thighs to cradle Naruto's rump in his hands holding him still. Pulling up once more, Sasuke's tongue dipped into the slit at the tip of the head and swirled around the head before he dove back down as though trying to swallow him whole.

Naruto gasped harshly, the back of his head hitting the wall with a dull thud as his back tried to arch. His eyes were shut tight from intense pleasure, his fingers tightened in Sasuke's hair, and his chest heaved. Strong shudders ran through him as pleasure lit every inch of his being on fire. He was so close... he was hovering at the edge of oblivion, almost ready to fall off into completely mindless bliss. Sasuke's name dropped from his lips in breathless gasps as he squirmed.

He could sense how close Naruto was and played his last hand, humming softly as Naruto had taught him when giving Sasuke mind-blowing blowjobs. He continued with the bobbing pattern and the movements of his tongue, but when Naruto's erection slid back against his throat, he hummed and with each downward bob the humming increased. His mouth watered at the thought of tasting Naruto here in a place where the risk of them actually getting "caught" was present.

Biting his lip to muffle his scream, Naruto came, filling Sasuke's mouth with his hot seed before slumping against the wall. His hands fell from Sasuke's hair to his shoulders, using them as a support since Naruto's knees weren't much more than jelly at that point. Panting roughly, Naruto let his head fall forward to gaze lovingly at Sasuke, his eyes glazed over with ecstasy. "Sasuke..." he whispered, a sated smile on his lips.

Sasuke swallowed all that he could and licked the spattering that he couldn't. Cleanup was light since Sasuke has been getting lots of practice and as he let Naruto's softening member slip from his mouth, he looked up, hands releasing Naruto's rump to come around to the front. He stood as he began to tuck everything neatly back into place. Meanwhile, as he pressed Naruto's limp body into the wall, he let his lips brush Naruto's, sharing his taste.

Naruto had just been about to part his lips to invite Sasuke in when he heard applause. Startled, he looked over Sasuke's shoulder and groaned. Not now...

"That was certainly an interesting sight," Buran commented, her voice thick with amusement. She put her hands on her hips and grinned hugely.

"How long have you been there?" Naruto asked warily.

"Since you screamed." She laughed at Naruto's moan of embarrassment.

Looking over his shoulder as he finished completely righting his lover's tux, Sasuke lifted one corner of his mouth. "Enjoy the show then?" he asked.

"SASUKE!!" Naruto squeaked, turning even redder as Buran nodded.

Chuckling, she said, "Naruto, you need to go rescue your parental units. A couple of your grandmother's friends are betting on how much eggnog she can drink and I think if your father has any more wine he's going to propose to the whole flock of women that's followed him around all night."

Naruto sighed and straightened. Well, tried to anyway. "I'll take care of it... in a minute."

"Okay. See you boys later." Buran winked at Sasuke. "One of these days you and I are going to have to trade techniques. Later!" She turned and waved over her shoulder as she walked away.

Turning his attention back to Naruto, Sasuke nuzzled Naruto's jaw lightly, cuddling up to him. "It's sad when the younger people have to take care of middle-aged adults," he murmured.

"I don't think Baa-chan ever got older than fifteen... Dad, no older than ten," Naruto muttered, hugging Sasuke's shoulders.

"Should we go save them?" Sasuke asked softly content to simply hold Naruto for a long time.

"Yeah... In a bit." Naruto nuzzled noses with him, waiting for his bones to solidify again.

Sighing happily that Naruto didn't want to rush off, Sasuke took a few steps back and sat down on the bench, bundling Naruto up in his lap and cradling him close to his chest. "Itooshii..." he crooned softly and kissed Naruto's forehead.

Naruto hummed in contentment and nuzzled at Sasuke's neck, still hugging his shoulders. "I love you..." he purred.

"I love you too, Naruto..." he said softly and rubbed the small of Naruto's back. Their tuxes were a little rumpled but other than that no one would notice they'd really done anything. Sasuke smoothed the shoulder of Naruto's jacket and kissed his cheek.

Naruto sighed and stood up reluctantly, pulling Sasuke up with him. "We'd better go save them... before they do something really stupid. We can continue this when we get home," he added with a purr, kissing Sasuke's pulse.

Sasuke sighed. With Mika and Arashi plastered, Sasuke had a pretty good feeling that they'd either be too tired or too busy playing nursemaids to really have time to continue what they'd started. Which was why Sasuke thanked the long break and the fact that they'd be home soon. In fact, that reminded him to call the landlord the next day and make sure everything was redesigned properly. Standing, he took Naruto's hand and together they started for the building and the party again.

TBC...
