The Café

CLARIFICATION: This is a shared UKE/SEME fic. As in, both Sasuke and Naruto will be dominant at different times as the story moves on.

A/N: To my reviewers, you rock my world! This has really made my week. Responses to most of your reviews are below the story. I didn’t really have time to respond to everybody’s, so just the ones that had questions, specific comments, and concerns are responded to.

I also have all of next week off due to Turkey Day! So I’ll be writing a lot. But I’m not going to pressure my Beta to check my work as fast as I write. It will get out there though.

Warning: Fair warning to all… Neji may be slightly OOC… It’s just how I saw it in my head. Go with it, it fits. If it really bugs you, name him something else. :-P

And SMEX!! (I love that word) Somewhat… You’ll see. Enjoy!


Ch. 2
*************

Naruto sat in Symphony Orchestra, his mind not really on the music like it should have been. Rehearsal was a time to learn everybody else’s parts, but for some reason, Naruto’s mind had been wandering to a certain black haired man. As the conductor raised his baton, Naruto just sat there, staring at his stand. A nudge from Hinata, the first flute on this piece, brought Naruto back to earth. Seeing that the conductor was waiting for him, Naruto smiled sheepishly and raised his flute to his mouth.

As the conductor raised his baton again, Naruto took a deep breath, filling his lungs completely as only musicians know how to do on command. As the conductor’s baton came down, tension was thick in the air. On the downbeat, the harp plucked its note right as Naruto began.

Whenever Naruto plays his music, the rest of the world falls away. It doesn’t matter what eccentric counterpoint he has to write in his Music Theory assignment, it doesn’t matter that he owes thousands of dollars for his education, it doesn’t matter that there’s a gorgeous guy interested in him that he has yet to figure out how to approach.

For now, all that mattered to Naruto was fitting this second flute solo with the rest of the orchestra. His ear was concentrating, his fingers were flying, his breathing essential. It was another world: a beautiful one.

One of the pieces the conductor had chosen for the orchestra to perform was Smetana’s The Moldau. It was almost twelve minutes long, but one of the most beautiful pieces Naruto had heard in a long time. And playing it hadn’t lessened the appreciation for it. More often than not, whenever Naruto played a piece he knew, he’d walk out of that performance hall forever grateful that he’d never have to hear that piece again if he so wished. He wasn’t sure why that was. Maybe it was because they dissected it too much. Or maybe it was because he knew he wouldn’t be able to hear the piece again without picking out his part.

With a concert coming up in a few weeks, the Orchestra still had a lot of work to do on this piece. The conductor brought down his arms and tapped his stand, effectively cutting off the orchestra at the peak of the river theme. “Okay, generally, not too bad. In fact, Naruto, excellent solo. I know you’ve been working hard. Also, the duet between yourself and Hinata is almost perfect. Just a little more practice and you’ll have it. Clarinets, when you enter, you should match what the flutes have set up for you. You need to line up and blend with the flutes. Strings…”

After that, Naruto’s mind wandered again. As much as he should have paid attention to what the conductor was saying to the other instruments (you never know what may be applicable to yourself), Naruto couldn’t keep Sasuke off his mind. He sighed, thinking of Sasuke’s smile, his cool and careless expression and the very dim sparkle in his eyes when he took a sip of the cider that Naruto had made for him. A finger poking him in the side disturbed his thoughts and he looked over to Hinata who was giving him a questioning glance.

“Naruto, you’ve been zoning out all rehearsal. What’s going on?” Hinata looked very concerned. Naruto didn’t want to worry her so he put on a big grin.

“Ah, Hinata, it’s nothing really. There’s just a lot on my mind. Great playing though. We’re going to rock the concert!” Naruto nodded. Seeing that Hinata wasn’t convinced, Naruto smiled bigger.

“Naruto, I don’t believe you. Common, you tell me everything! Is it your Theory test?” Hinata was being persistent.

“No, Hinata, it wasn’t my Theory test. You know that everybody did poorly on that thing.” Naruto sighed. “I met somebody new and I can’t get him out of my head.”

“Ah, I see.” Hinata smiled. “Who is he?”

Hinata knew that Naruto was gay. Throughout high school, Naruto had kept his sexual orientation a secret from everybody, including his parents. He never had a relationship with anybody for fear that they would find out. Once he got to college though, things changed. The environment was more welcoming with people of different ethnicities, social backgrounds, and sexual orientations. Within the first half of his fall semester during his freshman year, Naruto had ‘come out’ to his parents. He then had a short, but sweet relationship with a guy down the hall from him. He had met Hinata within the first week of that fateful semester. She had been with him through thick and thin and Naruto was forever grateful.

“I don’t think you’d know him. He’s a Biology major. I met him yesterday at the café, he asked me out on a piece of paper! I don’t know what to do.” Naruto sighed. “His name is Sasuke. He’s gorgeous.”

Hinata’s jaw dropped. “I think I may know this Sasuke. My cousin Neji is his roommate.”

Naruto’s stomach dropped. His heart started beating double time yet again. It was forming a nasty habit of doing that. “Oh God, Hinata. What do I do?”

“Naruto!” The conductor was a little confused as to why his flutes were so distracted today. Normally they were on top of their game. “We’re still in the middle of rehearsal. Please stay with us.”

Naruto nodded his apologies and lifted his flute again. He heard Hinata whisper to him, “We’ll talk after rehearsal.”

Two hours later found Naruto and Hinata walking toward the dorms. With orchestra rehearsal being at night, the pair often walked together to be safe. Naruto would escort Hinata back to her room and then he’d walk to the next building where he lived. Sometimes Hinata would come back to his room with him to see his roommate, Kiba, her boyfriend. Naruto had introduced the two. Originally, Hinata had liked Naruto, but when she found out that he was into guys, she settled for just being his friend.

Hinata turned her head to look at Naruto. “Would you like to go see Sasuke?”

Naruto got very nervous. Hell yeah he’d love to see him! But was it too soon? Would he be upset if he just barged into their room with Hinata? Was he studying for that test? Or did he already have his test? It had been almost a week since Naruto saw him last.

He nodded. “Yeah, but I don’t think it would be the greatest idea. I don’t want to interrupt his studying. He’s hardcore about that sort of thing.” Hinata laughed.

“Don’t worry about that, Naruto. When was the last time you saw him?”

Naruto blushed. “About a week ago. I meant to call him, but I can’t seem to dial the number. He probably thinks I blew him off.” Naruto sighed.

Hinata shook her head, chuckling. “Ah, Naruto. You never cease to amaze me. We’re going. I’ve been meaning to visit my cousin anyway. We’ll just say you tagged along. Make it coincidence that you know Sasuke too.” With that, Hinata pulled out her small cell phone. She pushed a series of buttons and brought the phone to her ear.

“Hey Neji! It’s been a while hasn’t it? I just got out of rehearsal and was wondering if I could swing by and say hi.” She paused. “Oh, if you’re studying, then don’t worry. I could visit another time.” Hinata winked at Naruto. “Okay, if you’re sure you don’t mind. What about your roommate? I don’t want to bother him too.” Another pause. Hinata laughed. “Okay. We’re on our way then. I’m bringing my friend, Naruto too, ‘kay?” A short pause. “’Kay. Thanks Neji. I’ll see you in a minute! Bye!” Hinata flipped her phone closed.

“Alright, Naruto! Let’s get you hooked up!” Hinata grinned and laughed at the look on Naruto’s face. “Don’t worry! They were both studying, but Neji said that they needed a break and that Sasuke has been studying too hard anyway.” A little glint appeared in her eye. “I bet you can get his mind off of things for a bit.” Naruto blushed.

“Man, Hinata. Without you, I don’t know what I’d do.” Naruto grinned.

Five minutes later, they were at Neji and Sasuke’s door. Hinata raised her fist and knocked gently. Naruto was fidgeting behind her. She let loose a quiet chuckle. He was too cute sometimes.

A beautiful man with Hinata’s eyes and long, flowing black hair opened the door. He enveloped Hinata a warm hug. “Hey, beautiful. It’s been too long. You need to come see me more often.”

Hinata laughed. “You need to see me! Why do I always have to trek over here?” She kissed his cheek then gestured to Naruto. “This is my friend, Naruto. He plays flute with me and watches out for me after rehearsal.”

Naruto grinned sheepishly and stuck out his hand. “You never know what may happen to beautiful ladies nowadays. I’m happy to meet you.”

Neji shook his hand and smiled. “The pleasure’s mine. Please come on in.” He opened the door the rest of the way and led Hinata and Naruto in. “My roommate just stepped out for a minute. He’ll be back soon though.” Naruto wanted to shout in frustration. “Feel free to steal his chair.”

Hinata made a beeline for Neji’s bed and jumped onto it, crossing her legs. Naruto gave her a look and walked over to Sasuke’s chair. ‘That sneaky woman.’

Neji and Hinata started to chat while Naruto zoned out, observing the room. It was almost identical to his and Kiba’s, except for the fact that this room was neat and tidy. Their beds were on opposite walls with their desks right next to them on the adjacent wall, right underneath the windows. Naruto thought the furniture in these rooms were the best; they were practically brand new and made of white oak. The desks were big and deep with plenty of room to shove books and notes around. The dresser was short, but had a huge surface area, perfect for a mini fridge.

Naruto had just noticed the science books piled up on Sasuke’s desk when he heard a card key enter the door and a key code being punched in. Naruto held his breath while the door opened.

‘Oh, God, he’s gorgeous. How’d I go this long without seeing him?’ Naruto’s heart simply stopped beating and then redoubled its efforts to pump blood into Naruto’s face and below his belt.

As soon as Sasuke closed the door and turned back around, their eyes met. Time stood still for the both of them. Naruto wasn’t sure when, but he found himself standing. They were both frozen into place, both pairs of eyes hungrily absorbing the others being. A heavy tension blanketed the room and there was a dead silence. Finally, Sasuke moved.

He walked forward quickly and grabbed Naruto’s hand. He proceeded to the door again, calling to Neji, “I’ll be back later.” Pulling Naruto out of the room, Sasuke shut his door and pulled Naruto down the hall, down the stairs and out into the brisk night.

It all happened so fast to Naruto that he wasn’t exactly sure what was going on until he hit the cold air. That snapped him back to reality and he ripped his hand from Sasuke’s, thoroughly embarrassed for his behavior in front of Hinata. “What are you doing?!” He was reluctant to remove his hand, but he had a point to make. “You can’t just drag me anywhere!” Naruto frowned.

“You never called me, dobe.” Sasuke stood with his back to Naruto. “I’ve been waiting.”

Naruto’s frown deepened. “I’m sorry. I was a chicken and my fingers never finished dialing, even though I wanted to.” Naruto bowed his head.

There was a long, heavy pause. Then, Sasuke started walking. Unsure of what to do and not wanting to let Sasuke out of his sight, Naruto followed. “And don’t call me, ‘dobe’,” Naruto said.

After that remark, the tension disappeared. They began to talk about classes and about life in general. Naruto found out that Sasuke did have his test and not only did he pass, but he received a 102% on the exam. Naruto hated chemistry and he wondered how the hell Sasuke managed to answer every question perfectly, including the extra credit.

“You’re the one guy in the class that manages to fuck up the curve for the rest of us, huh?” Naruto said dejectedly. “I’ve always hated people like you.”

“Well, maybe if you studied, it wouldn’t have mattered to you.” Sasuke paused and then smirked. “Dobe.”

“GAH! Don’t call me that, bastard!”

Naruto learned another thing about Sasuke that infuriated him even more. “What do you mean you’re getting the family company in a few years?! Why are you even in school if you have your life set for you?”

“I never wanted to own the family company. It was supposed to go to my older brother. What I really wanted to do was become a scientist and find much needed answers.” Sasuke met Naruto’s eyes. “I wanted to further my education because I’m thinking about hiring somebody else to run the company when it comes to my hands.”

Naruto smiled. “You should do what you think is right.” Naruto hesitated and then pushed forward. “What happened to your brother?” After he asked, he winced and hastily added, “You don’t have to tell me. Sorry I asked.”

“Nah, it’s fine. Let’s sit over here and I’ll tell you a story.” Sasuke wrapped his hand around Naruto’s and led him to a nearby bench.

Naruto realized that they had entered the park off campus. It was a beautiful area with oaks scattered around. The night was clear so Naruto could see the stars and also see his breath come out in puffs. When Sasuke sat next to him, Naruto unconsciously scooted closer to the source of heat: Sasuke. After a moment’s hesitation, Sasuke lifted his arm and draped it over Naruto.

‘It’s just to keep us warm,’ he tried to convince himself.

‘Uh-huh, you just keep telling yourself that.’ His inner self tossed back.

Sighing, Sasuke wondered where to begin in his story. Taking a deep breath, he began.

“While I was growing up, I had the perfect family. Strong father, wonderful mother, and an older brother I looked up to. My brother always managed to get perfect grades. He was a genius and my father told me that if I worked hard, I could be the same. So, from the time I was four, I was always striving to be just as good as, if not better than, my brother. We’d always play around and I always hated it when he flicked my forehead.” Sasuke raised his other hand to touch his forehead. Catching himself, he set the hand back into his lap.

Naruto, unable to stop himself, reached over and plucked Sasuke’s hand from his lap and began to play with it. Momentarily distracted, Sasuke looked down at their joined hands. His heart jumped as he saw the near perfect image of his slim white hand and Naruto’s bigger and darker one.

Shaking himself, Sasuke continued. “I lived in a special part of town reserved only for the Uchiha family. Our entire family was huge; there were five hundred of us at least. I would meet new family members every day. They never left the area. They were born there, raised there, lived there, and died there.” At this, Sasuke swallowed. Taking another breath, he went on.

“When I was seven years old, I achieved my goal for the first time. I had gotten a perfect score on a math test. After school let out that day, I ran toward home to tell my parents and to tell my brother, Itachi. As soon as I entered the Uchiha compound, I knew something was wrong. I had no idea what, but something warned me not to go further. So, what do I do? I go further.” Sasuke shook his head. “I figured that if something were wrong, I could fix it.

“I ran ahead and I found one of my many aunts on the ground. She had blood coming from her mouth. I had no idea that somebody could bleed from the mouth, so I freaked out and I ran home. Once I got there, I heard my mother scream. Not even a second later, I saw my father and brother burst out of the front window. They were fighting. I never saw anybody in my family fight seriously like they were.” At the memory, Sasuke closed his eyes. Naruto’s hand briefly tightened on Sasuke’s, giving support.

“I realized that my brother had a knife in his hand. I screamed. I couldn’t stop screaming as I saw Father and Itachi fight. For a while, I thought Itachi might win and cut Father. I didn’t know then that Itachi’s intentions were to kill Father.” Sasuke leaned his head on Naruto’s, who had laid his on Sasuke’s shoulder. ‘His hair is so soft,’ Sasuke thought. ‘Smells like the ocean.’

“At one point, I remember my mom holding me. She tried to hide my face, but I wouldn’t have it. I watched. It seemed to take forever, when in reality, it was only a minute or so. In the end, Father ended up on top and grabbed Itachi’s head. For a moment, they looked at each other, my father crying. He whispered, ‘I’m sorry, Itachi, I’ve always loved you.’ Itachi then said, ‘Take care of Sasuke.’ Then, Father twisted Itachi’s head and a loud pop rang out. I remember Mother screaming and crying hysterically. I was in shock. I didn’t know what happened at the time. It seemed to me that Father just cracked his neck and Itachi fell asleep. It was later I found out that Itachi was killed by my Father.” Sasuke’s arm tightened around Naruto. Even if he didn’t want to admit it, he needed the comfort.

“It turned out that my brother went crazy with the notion that the entire family wasn’t raising me right. His plan was to kill them and raise me himself. Had my brother been sane while he attacked Father and Mother, they would have been dead. But, because Itachi’s mind was broken, it hindered him.

“After that day, my perfect family grew apart. Father was more remote and angered easily. Mother was so timid and shy, afraid that if she did anything wrong, I’d turn out like Itachi. I was just upset that my brother was gone and that my father wouldn’t recognize me. I went through so much therapy, it nearly drove ME insane.” Sasuke let out a sigh and began to nuzzle into Naruto’s hair. “And that’s why I’m inheriting the family company.”

Naruto had no idea what to say. His heart broke into a million pieces at Sasuke’s tale. When he realized that Sasuke was nuzzling into his hair, he let a small smile escape. If he could comfort Sasuke in any way, he would.

“Sasuke,” Naruto began. “I have no idea how something like that feels. But, if you ever need to talk, or to just be with somebody, I’m here.” Naruto held his breath.

Sasuke lifted his head and pulled his hand from Naruto. Naruto nearly protested, but Sasuke’s hand was brought to his chin. Coaxing his chin up and to look at him, Sasuke looked into Naruto’s eyes.

“You have such beautifully blue eyes. The first time I saw them I thought you could see all my secrets. It scared me.” Sasuke whispered.

Naruto let go of the breath he’d been holding. A small smile made itself known on Naruto’s face again and this time Sasuke saw it. Sasuke answered it with a tiny upward twitch of his mouth.

Time stood still for the pair. They stared at each other, absorbing one another. It could have been one second; it could have been five hours. They didn’t know and they didn’t care. They were together and that’s all that mattered to them at that moment.

Sasuke felt a pull in his belly from staring at Naruto’s face. His eyes were drawn to Naruto’s not quite thin lips. They were a light pink, which fascinated Sasuke. Sasuke realized that he would very much like to taste those lips. Before the thought even finished, Sasuke felt his head lower toward Naruto’s.

When their lips met, the sensation it brought made it seem like it had happened a thousand times before. Sasuke’s mouth covered Naruto’s in a sweet and soft first kiss. They each moaned, which surprised both of them. Their eyes, which had slid shut at the natural process of the kiss, snapped open and they stared into each other. Sasuke moved his mouth, staring into Naruto’s eyes, almost daring him to stop the kiss. Naruto felt so lost and dizzy staring into Sasuke’s bottomless eyes and feeling the sweet sensation of Sasuke’s mouth on his. Soon, it was too much for Naruto and he slid his eyes shut again, picturing Sasuke’s sliding shut as well.

The hand holding Naruto’s chin moved up to cup his cheek, while the arm wrapped around Naruto, pulling him closer and began to thread itself through Naruto’s softer-than-silk hair. Sasuke then parted his lips and darted his tongue out for a second, barely tasting Naruto. He felt Naruto shudder in his arms and he smiled, parting his lips again. This time, he traced Naruto’s lips until Naruto opened up to him. With that, Sasuke plunged right in.

‘Oh, God,’ Sasuke mentally groaned. Naruto tasted like nothing he’d ever tasted before. It was a purely Naruto taste, a little metallic and a hint of mint. Sasuke took this opportunity to fully explore Naruto’s mouth.

Running his tongue along Naruto’s straight and smooth teeth, Sasuke moaned. He then stroked his tongue along Naruto’s, bringing it back up to run along the top of Naruto’s mouth. He thrust his tongue in and out of Naruto’s in a suggestive manner, moaning, with Naruto’s moans joining. Sasuke then curled his tongue around Naruto’s and coaxed it to enter his.

Sasuke groaned at the feel of Naruto’s tongue entering his mouth. ‘Dear God!’ Sasuke enjoyed the sensations of Naruto’s tongue copying what Sasuke’s had done to Naruto’s mouth.

A few moments later, Sasuke broke the kiss, trailing his lips along Naruto’s jaw to his ear. He grazed his teeth over Naruto’s ear and smiled as Naruto shuddered and moaned. His hot breath contrasted against the cold air, leaving Naruto in a constant state of shivers. Latching onto Naruto’s lobe, he suckled, hearing him gasp and feel Naruto grab the back of his head, weaving his fingers through his hair.

Tilting his neck to the side to give Sasuke more room, Naruto ran his hands all over Sasuke’s body. Naruto had been wearing his jacket when he was pulled out of Sasuke’s room, but Sasuke was only wearing a light sweater. He was surprised Sasuke lasted this long outside. However, all of his thoughts were erased when Sasuke dragged his mouth and teeth to Naruto’s neck, nipping lightly and sucking. Naruto full out groaned into the night air.

Both panting, the two men’s lips met again. This time, they crashed together; desperate and hungry. This had been building since the first moment they saw each other almost a week ago.

Sasuke growled as he grabbed at Naruto’s hair, dragging his head back and plundering his mouth. Naruto, in turn, was clawing at Sasuke’s back, running his hands up and under Sasuke’s sweater, desperate for skin contact.

At some point, Naruto ended up straddling Sasuke’s lap. They were feverishly trying to memorize each others taste and texture; imprinting it in their minds. Naruto had Sasuke’s head in his hands, cupping Sasuke’s cheeks, while dominating the kiss. Out of instinct, Naruto rotated his hips forward, which caused both men to shudder. Naruto threw his head back and moaned into the night.

Upon seeing Naruto in such a position, Sasuke moaned aloud. It was too much. His lower belly clutched, his breath seized, his hands grew to a death grip, and his hips bucked up into Naruto’s once more as his entire body tensed.

“Oh God, Naruto… I… I’m… uh!” Sasuke’s head was spinning, but he was very aware of one thing: Naruto’s mouth close to his ear, whispering the words he longed to hear.

“Come for me, Sasuke.” Naruto ground his hips down as his breath ghosted over Sasuke’s ear. He felt Sasuke bite deep into his shoulder and practically scream as he came hard.

Naruto had never felt anything more beautiful. Just feeling Sasuke shudder violently in his arms sent Naruto over the edge right after Sasuke. As his vision went black, he moaned Sasuke’s name.

Neither knew how long they had sat there in each others arms. Some time later, Naruto softly kissed the juncture between Sasuke’s shoulder and his neck. Tasting the salty sweat, Naruto darted his tongue out and gently licked. At Sasuke’s sharp intake of breath, Naruto chuckled a little and raised his head.

Naruto smiled as he looked into Sasuke’s eyes. He knew that he would never see Sasuke more vulnerable than he was at this moment. ‘Well, I guess I’ll see it again when I make him come again,’ Naruto’s perverted mind kicked in.

Leaning down, Naruto lightly brushed his lips against Sasuke’s. Feeling the answering pressure, Naruto sighed contently and lifted his head again. He brought his lips close to Sasuke’s ear and whispered, “I guess we should get back to campus. You’re freezing.”

Sasuke nodded absentmindedly and Naruto climbed off his lap. Wincing at the uncomfortable stickiness in his pants, Naruto chucked again. “Guess next time we do this we’ll have to remember to be somewhere warmer and to take off the clothes.”

To be continued…

REVIEW RESPONSES
***********
Delirious: Your comment made me blush! “Wicked?” I hope I lived up to that standard in this one! Thank you!

Sarah Keller: Originally, Sasuke was this polite, studious guy… Then I took a break and came back to it and said, “What the hell was I thinking?” Sadly, that was one of the little parts that didn’t get as much TLC as the rest of it. Let’s just chalk it up to him not knowing exactly what he was doing. ^^ I’m very happy that you enjoyed my idea of a fic. I like the roommates idea personally, but it is overdone. I figure, let other people do it if I can come up with something different. Thanks!

Oraday: I wouldn’t say it’s “absolutely perfect”… but thanks!! And yes, no studying is done when my computer is on at all. I’m always thinking about writing this story or reading a new fanfic.

Nomme de Plume: I was definitely going for the lighthearted effect. Glad you enjoyed it!

SharinganEyes: I’ll do my best to update! I’ve gotten mixed reviews about the note, but I’m glad you enjoyed it! It’s just the way it played out in my head. ^^

Anitlogicgirl: I loved your review!! A list? Hahaha! That’s great. I do like Bambi, my Beta came up with the café name and I found it amusing. I wish I could speak French! Innuendo is prolly my favorite game. And as for Units… Naruto’s schedule is mine. I’m dying!! Those string and woodwind technique classes… worth a half unit each. I find it very infuriating that I’m learning out to play new instruments (never touched a violin before!) and also learning how to teach it, but only get a half unit. *grumbles* As for Sasuke, he’s a genius. He can do it! ^^

Luthien Wildglen: I loved your review! Thank you for the constructive criticism. Naruto’s reaction to Sasuke’s little note, it’s just how it played in my head. I’m not aiming to make him a cheerleader like idiot… no offense to cheerleaders! I’m afraid though that you may find Naruto in this chapter again a little girly… I have no idea why he comes out that way. Though Chapter 3… I can’t wait to get that puppy out! And the café… it’s not a real place. Just something I saw in my head… weird. ^^ I’m glad you like my descriptions. I try to be clear. Thank you so much for your review! Oh, and I’m not making Sasuke a smoker. I find it really gross too. It’s just extremely popular over in Asia so it would be Naruto’s natural thought process. But thanks!!

Reno’s Lover: I don’t watch Billy and Mandy… but I actually may have seen the twitterpated episode… I can’t remember for the life of me. Just something I ripped from Bambi. ^^ I’ll check it out though. Thanks for your review!

Dark Toy: Hell yeah!! It’s totally about a good fuck! Feelings will definitely develop though. It’s kind of going to start like a whole, “You’re hot, let’s get it on” type thing. Thanks for the review! I’m glad you like it!

Simplyinsane: You should be a happy beta!! Thanks for all your hard work!

Tara: I’m sorry!! The object is just that Naruto and Sasuke are so unbelievably attracted to each other that they can’t keep their hands off each other. But Naruto was being a little pussy by not calling him for a week! I’ll give you that. And Chapter 3… you’ll get your frustrated and jealous Sasuke. ^^ promise! A certain Sai enters the picture… hahaha!! Enjoy the story! Thanks for your review!
