Chapter 19 - Part III: A girl’s heart is…
*
"Nnnnn... Saturdays are the bestest..." Sasuke moaned.
Naruto snickered against Sasuke's chest as he teased an erect nipple between his lips. The boy lay shirtless beneath him, panting and writhing at every swirl of his tongue and pull of his mouth. He arched against the hand cupping his groin, tossing his head back onto the soft pillow as gasps and moans flowed from moist lips.
Sasuke's fingers dug onto Naruto's mussed blond hair, pulling him up for a hungry kiss.
"Naruto..." Sasuke half begged, spreading his legs as the blonde settled his body between them.
Naruto ground their hips together in a slow, deliberate motion, letting Sasuke feel every sensation the friction caused. Sasuke panted into their kiss, opening his mouth wider as he spread his legs further apart.
"Uzumaki, if you… Ahhh! Don't do something right now… I'm going to explode." Sasuke breathed.
The boy's uncanny ability to merge begging and threatening in one sentence never failed to amuse Naruto. He squeezed the boy through his pants, telling him without words to be patient.
As Naruto's tongue and lips drew a wet path down Sasuke's quivering abdomen, he heard a distant knocking. Focused intently on his task, Naruto quickly forgot about it until another series of knocks came, this time a little louder. He abandoned the toned abs for a moment and sat up to look toward the open bedroom door, listening attentively.
"Why'd you stop?" He heard Sasuke utter breathlessly, his tone expressing his displeasure at the pause of ministrations. "Naruto, what is it?"
Naruto shushed Sasuke and listened some more. "Do you hear that?"
Sasuke paused to listen. "It's probably for your neighbors."
"No, it's coming from my door."
"Expecting company?"
Naruto shook his head thoughtfully. "Not that I'm aware of..."
"C'mon, forget it. They'll go away..." Naruto felt Sasuke tugging him back down but instead of returning to continue his task, he bent to give Sasuke a chaste kiss before getting off the bed and walking out of the bedroom. Behind him, he heard Sasuke groan in dismay.
Naruto padded through the living room on bare feet. Once he stood in front of the entrance door, he peered through the peep hole to check who his visitor was. He stepped back from his door suddenly, puzzled at who he saw stood waiting at the other side.
Naruto took a deep breath and opened the door slowly.
Sakura stood in the hallway, looking nervous and ready to flee at any given moment. Two entire weeks had passed since she had confronted them about his and Sasuke's relationship. Two weeks of ignoring his existence. Two weeks of ineffective apologizing. Although he felt like a fool after every rejection, he has yet to give up. Now she stood in front of him nervously and glanced back and forth between him and the floor.
"Sakura-chan?"
He detected a faint blush on her cheeks when she looked up to acknowledge his question and he suddenly remembered his state of undress. He was shirtless, chest gleaming with sweat under the dim hallway lights, jeans unbuttoned and blonde hair mussed chaotically. He prayed to God his jeans weren’t bulging from his half-hard cock.
"Umm, let me grab a shirt."
"Oh no! That's not necessary. I must have woken you up. I'm sorry to have bothered you..." She was stuttering profusely and her eyes tried to look anywhere but in his direction. She started to back away but he quickly halted her retreat, stepping forward.
"Uhh... No! Umm... You didn't wake me. I was awake..." he explained.
He looked at her, wondering why it was a strange sight to see her in the narrow hallway, when realization struck. "Hey, how did you know where I live?"
She blinked up at him in surprise, perhaps not anticipating the question. She coughed embarrassedly and tried to smile.
"I ah... I asked Iruka-sensei. I told him I needed to give you something. I lied... Well, it’s not really a lie since I sorta do have to give you something..." Her restless hand tugged at her shirt nervously.
"To give me something?" he asked, managing to bring her back to focus.
She nodded and clasped her hands behind her back to hide their shaking.
"Isn't it funny?” she said, changing the subject a little, stalling. “I've always known you lived alone but this is the first time I've been here. It looks nice. It’s quiet…”
She allowed silence to reign for a moment before deciding to come to the point of her visit. “I... Actually, I wanted to talk to you." She bit her bottom lips and lowered her eyes to the floor again.
Naruto furrowed his eyebrows, pondering her purpose for visiting. He looked around and realized they couldn't talk in the hallway, but he couldn't have her come in either. It would be too uncomfortable with Sasuke inside, he thought. He looked toward his living room and then turned back to her.
"Umm, let me grab a shirt. Let's go for a walk."
She looked puzzled for a moment and he hoped that she didn't ask why she couldn’t come in instead. It seemed that she wanted to ask but she remained silent, much to his relief. Sakura nodded her head and he closed the door softly behind him, leaving her outside.
He strode back to the bedroom quickly and groaned at the sight of the other boy sprawled on his bed, ignorant of how enticing he looked, flipping through one of his books. For a moment, he had forgotten what he came there for.
"Who was it?" Sasuke asked, leaning further onto the mattress and putting away the book.
Naruto grabbed the first shirt he could reach, which happened to be Sasuke's, and pulled it on. He buttoned his pants and grabbed a pair of socks from his drawer.
"It's Sakura-chan. We're going for a walk," Naruto explained as sat he on the edge of the bed to pull his socks on.
"What is she doing here?"
Naruto noted the slight tinge of resentment in the other boy's voice. Sasuke had disapproved of Naruto spending so much time and energy on trying to apologize to Sakura. He had nothing to apologize for, Sasuke had said.
"She wants to talk."
Sasuke looked unconvinced. "To talk or to apologize?"
"I don't know, so I'm going to find out."
"You want me to leave instead? There's no need to go out." Sasuke began to move off the bed, but Naruto pushed him back down.
"No, you stay here. It shouldn't take long. Besides, I'm not comfortable with her in here."
Sasuke seemed to understand and agreed. Naruto leaned down and gave Sasuke a heated parting kiss before pulling away reluctantly. "I won't be long."
Sasuke nodded and made himself comfortable on the bed. He ran his hand down his exposed chest, throwing a lust-filled glance at Naruto. "Remember, you have to finish something."
Naruto sighed longingly and nodded. "Damn. She always had bad timing."
He left the room quickly before he decided to ditch Sakura and follow up on his original plans of making the other boy beg him for release instead.
*
They strolled down the silent streets and eventually wandered into a nearby park. Finding a vacant bench, they claimed it and sat at opposite ends. They hadn’t said much during the short walk and still they remained silent.
Kids ran around the park with careless smiles on their faces, looking too young to worry about responsibility or burdens. Blue eyes passing over the lively group, Naruto spotted a young figure, watching the cluster of kids from afar, raw loneliness on his face. He corrected his earlier introspection. ‘No,’ he thought, ‘this burden affects everyone... Both the young and old.’ He felt a sudden pang of sadness then and he recalled too late that he hated parks.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
He cringed at her tone of voice and resigned himself to the fact that there was no avoiding the questions. "I wanted to, but I didn't even know what was happening myself."
"You just kept us blind from it..." Her voice transformed from soft to frantic in a matter of moments. She seemed to have not heard him, like she was speaking her thoughts out loud. He now knew why she had been silent for so long: she had been seething.
"We acted like fools! You must have had a laugh. A very long and satisfying laugh,” she accused. “What… What sort of friend does that? "
"Sakura-chan, I never laughed. I'd never think of it."
"Did you even think about us? I keep thinking back to all those times. Since when, Naruto? Did you think it was funny? How long were you planning on keeping this to yourself? How long until you couldn't take our idiocy anymore and laughed in our faces?" Her questions and accusations flew at him, merciless and pain-filled. He drew his hands into a fists, confusion and frustration clouding his mind and rendering him mute.
"Well it wasn't funny, Naruto!” she continued. “Do you know how long I've loved Sasuke-kun? Too long! All these years I've only looked at him. Only him! And you stole him and betrayed our friendship... And for him to do that to us too. It's just sick! I bet you he gets off on it- "
"No! Don't bring Sasuke into this! This is between you and me!" Naruto interrupted her mindless ranting. He suspected that she had stopped thinking a long time ago and that she was saying whatever came to mind as she spoke all the thoughts that had haunted her for two weeks.
She stared at him with a wide, watery gaze and he saw how exhausted she looked then. Dark circles shadowed her eyes and her skin looked lackluster. "Sasuke. You called him Sasuke."
He stilled.
"How close are you to him? How..." She furrowed her eyes and tilted her head in thought. She gasped suddenly and covered her mouth with her hands.
"Oh my gosh! The trip! You shared a room! You disappeared all the time. You were always together... You haven't gotten into a fist fight in ages... How close are you? Have you kissed? Have you done...?" she went on unthinkingly.
Naruto felt nauseous as soon as realization started to dawn on her face. However, as soon as she began with the personal questions, his nervousness subsided and instead fed into a quickly escalating anger. Sasuke's words came back to him, that he had no obligation to explain himself to them.
He gritted his teeth when she started to jump at and analyze every moment Sasuke and he had spent together. Her bitterness coated every word, every thought and every epiphany. He growled as she began to make bitter and cheapen his own memories.
"It's none of your business," he growled through clenched teeth.
"What?”
"Those sort of things. They’re none of your concern. Don't pretend to know about things you have no idea about." His cold voice made her pause in her tirade, like she had swallowed something she didn't like.
He took advantage of her silence. He knew if they began attacking each other their situation can get uglier and nastier. Before he smoothed things out, though, he had to say something first, if only to satisfy his anger.
"It doesn't matter what Sasuke and I have done or where or when. We're together!" She flinched visibly. "We didn't set out to hurt you. So many things happened that I was dizzy half the time. I wanted to tell you. I knew it would hurt you, too. But it's no one's fault! It's not mine or Sasuke's. I'm sorry it had to happen this way, but it has."
He breathed deeply, controlling his rage. He had become angry when she started attacking their relationship, making it sound flawed and fake, like it was just some cheap porn. Like it lacked feelings.
"Believe it or not, we didn't get together to hurt you. Put my relationship with Sasuke aside. It’s there and it's staying."
She sobbed and caught it, not breathing until she broke the following whimpers before they escaped into the wind blowing at their faces. A stubborn tear made a wet track down her cheeks before she could catch it. It curved down to her chin and dropped onto her clasped hand. With the splash of the sad liquid on her skin, she seemed to deflate, ending her vicious attack and her stubborn denial.
They looked away from each other, biting their lips and easing their anger. The park had grown quiet, the children all called home to lunch. A lone bird sang a hopeful melody and white clouds drifted overhead, casting them in shadow.
After a long pause, she apologized with a shaking voice. He stayed silent, accepting the apology without comment.
"Do you remember what I said? About what I thought love would be like for me, Naruto?"
He jumped as he was nudged out of his stupor by the change of subject. He drew his attention away from the lonesome bird and looked toward her instead. Somewhere along the way she had acquired a flower. It was white and tiny with five petals. Her anger had taken his entire focus, making him miss such a pretty thing.
"You said..." he spoke, licking his dry lips, clearing his throat.
"I said, I think it will feel like spinning... Spinning... Spinning until the whole world turns into a blur and all you could see is the person you love spinning along with you." She laughed softly, maybe laughing at herself. "The thing is, I've been spinning so hard, so carelessly, that I got dizzy and tripped on my own feet. I wanted to get back up and spin again but all I could do was throw up."
"Sakura-chan..."
"It came to me yesterday, I think. Why you didn't want to kiss me at that time, because it would be sort of cheating on Sasuke-kun right?"
Naruto sighed. "Yes..." He scuffed the tip of his shoes on the grass beneath the bench. "And no."
He smiled, a genuine smile just for her. All of his anger had been spent. "I guess I didn't kiss you because of Sasuke and because I really do think first kisses… Well all kisses, belong to the person you like."
She blinked in surprise and then she finally smiled too. "I never knew you had such a great smile Naruto," she whispered and then stood up to face him fully. She put out her closed hand to him and opened it to reveal the white flower he had noticed earlier. "I'm sorry for the things I said. It was... It just shouldn't have been said."
He rose from his seat and warily took the small flower from her palm. "It was how you felt." He furrowed his eyebrows. "I'm sorry things happened this way."
"Then let's forgive and learn from it, Naruto," Sakura proposed.
He kept his smile wide and shy, and then offered his hand as well, accepting their truce. "Friends?"
Sakura grasped his hand and shook it. "Rivals."
"What?" The heavy mood had been lifted, and he sighed thankfully.
"You heard me! I'm not giving up my love just because you have him."
"Sakura-chan..." He looked at her gleaming, confident eyes and small, shaking smile. She held herself high, like someone trying to hold the broken pieces of herself together. He understood. He was proud of her and her desire to fight for her love.
"Heh… Rivals and friends then," he compromised.
"The same goes for me." Naruto turned and saw Ino watching both of them, smiling confidently with tear streaks on her cheeks. He somehow knew she has been there long enough to witness everything.
"I'm not giving up my love either," she said.
Naruto chuckled softly. "Fine."
A comfortable silence stretched between them. They smiled at each other and Naruto realized that they never really stopped being friends. They had just gotten through their first major argument that would make their friendship stronger for not giving up on it.
*
After waving goodbye to both girls, Naruto sprinted up the stairs of his apartment building, too impatient to wait for the elevator. The girls had invited him for some dessert at the nearest cafe, but his mind had drifted back to the image of Sasuke waiting not so patiently on his bed. As pleasant as it would have been to hang out with his friends once more, Sasuke was waiting and he had promised to return.
He ran the length of the short hallway and skidded to a halt, braking on time before running into his apartment door. He twisted the door open and placed the small flower on top of the small table near the door. As he was kicking off his shoes he called out his arrival as he always did.
"I'm home!"
"Welcome back."
Naruto's breath caught as he felt his heartbeat reverberate outward throughout his entire body. It was out of habit that he had uttered those words. He hadn't expected there to be an answer; there never was. Something small, something he had rarely felt since his family had passed away, sparked inside him and began to unravel. It blossomed outward and he was afraid he would burst if he didn't do something quickly to satisfy it.
He was already grinning, and it turned into a full fledge smile when he saw Sasuke exit the living room to greet him, still shirtless. His body moved without a conscious thought as he propelled himself toward the other boy. He launched himself onto Sasuke, wrapping his arms around the boy's neck and winding his legs around the slim hips.
"Oof! Ack! Naruto you're not light at all you know!" Despite the complaint, Naruto heard a delighted surprise in the boy's tone.
"Well bear with it for now! Don't break my mood!" he exclaimed, tightening his grip.
Sasuke chuckled and obliged him, holding on firmly. The boy walked backwards until he could collapse on the soft couch with Naruto ending up on his lap.
Naruto smiled against Sasuke's shoulder, trying to suppress the pounding elation of his heart while Sasuke remained silent, giving him some time to collect himself. He sighed in contentment and finally sat up to face the other boy, pressing his cheek against the hand that drew up to caress it and kissing the cool palm with his still smiling lips.
"I take it everything went well?" Sasuke asked, fingers tracing the outline of Naruto's lips absently.
Naruto nodded excitedly. "We traded words. She apologized. I apologized for it happening that way. She declared us rivals and friends. Ino showed up and said she won't give up either. We're still friends. I like you welcoming me home."
Sasuke blinked at him once and then again.
As the other boy processed what he had heard, Naruto busied his lips by showering Sasuke's face with tender kisses while his fingers kneaded Sasuke's exposed nipples and chest.
Sasuke arched against his touch and held the blonde’s chin between thumb and index finger, stilling his movements. The tip of Sasuke's tongue traced the pink flesh of his lips, both bottom and top, eliciting a moan in response. Taking advantage of the parted lips, Sasuke slipped his tongue inside, encouraging Naruto's own to glide and twist against his.
"Mmmm.... So” Sasuke inquired, panting after releasing their joined lips. "They haven't given up, despite us being together?"
"Right."
"They're still going to flirt outrageously with me?"
"Yes."
"You like me welcoming you home?"
"Yes! Definitely yes!" Naruto attacked Sasuke's mouth with renewed vigor.
"I feel like celebrating," he moaned into the kiss.
Sasuke tightened his hold around him and ground his groin against his. "Well you did leave something unfinished."
Naruto rocked back, smirking deviously. "Why so I did." He placed his moist lips close to the other boy's ear, briefly slipping his tongue out to trace the soft shell of cartilage. Sasuke's hands snuck behind him to cup his ass and grind him to the erect cock beneath the pants he wore.
"I want to know how it feels," Sasuke breathed.
Worrying the soft earlobe between his lips, Naruto's hand moved downward between their hot bodies to unzip Sasuke's pants. He slipped a finger inside to tease the flesh just below the waistline. "How what feels?"
Sasuke shifted so Naruto's hand couold fully slip inside to wrap around his throbbing member.
"I want to know how… Ahhhhh! It feels to have you inside me..."
Naruto's head snapped back to meet Sasuke's gleaming eyes. The dark eyes glowed with naked desire. Naruto closed his mouth that had dropped in a surprised gawk and resisted the urge to clarify.
When next he spoke, his voice broke as he said a tentative “Okay.” Shivers raced up his spine while molten desire went straight to his hard cock.
"Bedroom?" Naruto asked.
Sasuke shook his head, handing Naruto the tube he hadn't noticed sat on top of the side table.
"Here is fine. I... I don't think I can... I want you now."
Naruto swallowed a lump in his throat to hear the raw need in Sasuke's voice. They had already fooled around earlier, he thought. They both knew what they wanted now. "We'll need these off," he said finally, tugging on Sasuke's pants.
He stood to remove his own pants as Sasuke divested himself of his. Their naked bodies glowed in the afternoon sunlight filtering through the window blinds, drawing horizontal lines on the sweat-slicked flesh.
Sasuke squeezed a fair amount of lube onto his hand and rubbed it between his palms before reaching for Naruto's erection, coating it thoroughly.
Naruto's knee buckled under the intense pleasure as Sasuke stroked his cock in quick, sure strokes. He hissed as Sasuke's thumb smeared his leaking seed over the crown of his cock, shuddering at the almost unbearable intensity.
He removed Sasuke's hand before he came without even entering him. He sat sideways on the couch with one leg curled, pressing against the back of the couch and the other bent, bare foot touching the floor. Sasuke laid one his side, one leg straddled by Naruto and the other slung over the blond boy’s shoulder.
Sasuke smirked up at Naruto. "I think this will work," he suggested huskily, voice consisting more of breath than actual words.
Naruto coated his fingers with lube and, becoming more confident of his actions, sought out Sasuke's opening.
"You've thought of this before?" Naruto inquired as he carefully slipped a lubed finger inside Sasuke.
Sasuke stiffened and then tried to relax his body as Naruto began to thrust his finger in and out slowly. He shook his head, seeming to be having difficulty in collecting his thoughts.
"No, I just thought of it right now actually. Another one, Naruto,” Sasuke gasped.
Naruto nodded and slipped the next finger inside the tight entrance, thrusting and stretching. He felt the muscles grip him and groaned as he imagined how it would feel to have such warmth surrounding him.
Sasuke’s breath came rapidly as he began to move against the small thrusts of Naruto's fingers, panting when Naruto curled them to brush against his prostrate.
"Naruto..."
Naruto nodded and pulled his fingers out. He shifted closer to Sasuke and curled his arm around Sasuke's leg resting on his shoulder, hugging the pale thigh to his chest. The other hand held his stiff cock as he pushed its tip against Sasuke's opening carefully.
He kissed Sasuke's knee tenderly as he plunged steadily deeper inside the boy's writhing body.
"Oooh God Naruto..." Sasuke clutched at the soft couch seat, gritting his teeth, biting his bottom lip. His back bowed a little, the boy curling into himself.
Naruto's muscles strained, fighting the compelling urge to ram his cock quickly in and out of the boy. Sweat coated his skin and breath became difficult to draw. He stayed still as he watched Sasuke for any sign of pain or discomfort once he was fully inside the boy.
"Sasuke are you alright?" His stomach flared as he took great deep breaths.
Sasuke's eyes were shut tight, his breathing short and rapid.
"I'm fine, Naruto. Just m… Move!"
"Okay."
Naruto pushed himself up a little and began to slowly thrust into Sasuke, his foot using the floor for leverage. His thrusts quickened in pace as Sasuke cried out encouraging sounds. He complied to ram harder when the boy asked.
One hand gripped Sasuke’s thigh to his chest while the other palmed the prominent arousal against the boy's quivering abdomen. He wrapped his fist around the swelled member and pumped in time to his thrusts, barely able to concentrate as pleasure wracked his body. He panted heavily as Sasuke's body gripped him every time he plunged deeper. The hot pressure built in his belly, threatening to explode as he drove on faster.
Naruto shifted in placed, when he next entered Sasuke, the boy cried out loud in pleasure.
Naruto smirked at Sasuke's wide, surprised eyes. He pulled out and pushed in several times more, stroking Sasuke's prostate. Sasuke writhed and words fell out of his lips incoherently.
"Nnnngh! Naruto! So close... More... More… Ahhhh! "
Sasuke's hot cum shot out, coating Naruto's fingers liberally. Some slapped against Sasuke's stomach and some splashed onto the couch's upholstery.
Sasuke shuddered with release beneath him. His body clamped tightly around Naruto, making him cry out. The raw emotion in the boy's heavy-lidded eyes directed at him was his undoing and Naruto gave into the pleasure and let it uncurl. His hot seed pulsed deep inside Sasuke as he gripped the boy's thigh and hip, groaning at the intensity of his climax.
He leaned his cheek against Sasuke's knee resting unsteadily on his shoulder and plopped onto the couch cushion unmoving.
"I think I almost passed out," Sasuke croaked.
"My vision's spotty." Naruto blinked tiredly. "Is that normal?"
Sasuke chuckled. "I'll answer you when my mind comes back."
They groaned as Naruto pulled out of Sasuke carefully. Naruto found a pair of discarded boxer shorts and he wiped both of them clean as much as he could.
Naruto collapsed on top of Sasuke and crawled upwards to reach the boys lips. He kissed the soft lips chastely and spoke against them.
"Sasuke..."
"Hmm..?"
"I think I am going to pass out."
"Bed?"
Naruto fell asleep before he could gather a thought, exhausted from the day's events.

He left the room quickly before he decided to ditch Sakura and follow up on his original plans of making the other boy beg him for release instead.

They strolled down the silent streets and eventually wandered into a nearby park. Finding a vacant bench, they claimed it and sat at opposite ends. They hadn’t said much during the short walk and still they remained silent.
Kids ran around the park with careless smiles on their faces, looking too young to worry about responsibility or burdens. Blue eyes passing over the lively group, Naruto spotted a young figure, watching the cluster of kids from afar, raw loneliness on his face. He corrected his earlier introspection. ‘No,’ he thought, ‘this burden affects everyone... Both the young and old.’ He felt a sudden pang of sadness then and he recalled too late that he hated parks.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
He cringed at her tone of voice and resigned himself to the fact that there was no avoiding the questions. "I wanted to, but I didn't even know what was happening myself."
"You just kept us blind from it..." Her voice transformed from soft to frantic in a matter of moments. She seemed to have not heard him, like she was speaking her thoughts out loud. He now knew why she had been silent for so long: she had been seething.
"We acted like fools! You must have had a laugh. A very long and satisfying laugh,” she accused. “What… What sort of friend does that? "
"Sakura-chan, I never laughed. I'd never think of it."
"Did you even think about us? I keep thinking back to all those times. Since when, Naruto? Did you think it was funny? How long were you planning on keeping this to yourself? How long until you couldn't take our idiocy anymore and laughed in our faces?" Her questions and accusations flew at him, merciless and pain-filled. He drew his hands into a fists, confusion and frustration clouding his mind and rendering him mute.
"Well it wasn't funny, Naruto!” she continued. “Do you know how long I've loved Sasuke-kun? Too long! All these years I've only looked at him. Only him! And you stole him and betrayed our friendship... And for him to do that to us too. It's just sick! I bet you he gets off on it- "
"No! Don't bring Sasuke into this! This is between you and me!" Naruto interrupted her mindless ranting. He suspected that she had stopped thinking a long time ago and that she was saying whatever came to mind as she spoke all the thoughts that had haunted her for two weeks.
She stared at him with a wide, watery gaze and he saw how exhausted she looked then. Dark circles shadowed her eyes and her skin looked lackluster. "Sasuke. You called him Sasuke."
He stilled.
"How close are you to him? How..." She furrowed her eyes and tilted her head in thought. She gasped suddenly and covered her mouth with her hands.
"Oh my gosh! The trip! You shared a room! You disappeared all the time. You were always together... You haven't gotten into a fist fight in ages... How close are you? Have you kissed? Have you done...?" she went on unthinkingly.
Naruto felt nauseous as soon as realization started to dawn on her face. However, as soon as she began with the personal questions, his nervousness subsided and instead fed into a quickly escalating anger. Sasuke's words came back to him, that he had no obligation to explain himself to them.
He gritted his teeth when she started to jump at and analyze every moment Sasuke and he had spent together. Her bitterness coated every word, every thought and every epiphany. He growled as she began to make bitter and cheapen his own memories.
"It's none of your business," he growled through clenched teeth.
"What?”
"Those sort of things. They’re none of your concern. Don't pretend to know about things you have no idea about." His cold voice made her pause in her tirade, like she had swallowed something she didn't like.
He took advantage of her silence. He knew if they began attacking each other their situation can get uglier and nastier. Before he smoothed things out, though, he had to say something first, if only to satisfy his anger.
"It doesn't matter what Sasuke and I have done or where or when. We're together!" She flinched visibly. "We didn't set out to hurt you. So many things happened that I was dizzy half the time. I wanted to tell you. I knew it would hurt you, too. But it's no one's fault! It's not mine or Sasuke's. I'm sorry it had to happen this way, but it has."
He breathed deeply, controlling his rage. He had become angry when she started attacking their relationship, making it sound flawed and fake, like it was just some cheap porn. Like it lacked feelings.
"Believe it or not, we didn't get together to hurt you. Put my relationship with Sasuke aside. It’s there and it's staying."
She sobbed and caught it, not breathing until she broke the following whimpers before they escaped into the wind blowing at their faces. A stubborn tear made a wet track down her cheeks before she could catch it. It curved down to her chin and dropped onto her clasped hand. With the splash of the sad liquid on her skin, she seemed to deflate, ending her vicious attack and her stubborn denial.
They looked away from each other, biting their lips and easing their anger. The park had grown quiet, the children all called home to lunch. A lone bird sang a hopeful melody and white clouds drifted overhead, casting them in shadow.
After a long pause, she apologized with a shaking voice. He stayed silent, accepting the apology without comment.
"Do you remember what I said? About what I thought love would be like for me, Naruto?"
He jumped as he was nudged out of his stupor by the change of subject. He drew his attention away from the lonesome bird and looked toward her instead. Somewhere along the way she had acquired a flower. It was white and tiny with five petals. Her anger had taken his entire focus, making him miss such a pretty thing.
"You said..." he spoke, licking his dry lips, clearing his throat.
"I said, I think it will feel like spinning... Spinning... Spinning until the whole world turns into a blur and all you could see is the person you love spinning along with you." She laughed softly, maybe laughing at herself. "The thing is, I've been spinning so hard, so carelessly, that I got dizzy and tripped on my own feet. I wanted to get back up and spin again but all I could do was throw up."
"Sakura-chan..."
"It came to me yesterday, I think. Why you didn't want to kiss me at that time, because it would be sort of cheating on Sasuke-kun right?"
Naruto sighed. "Yes..." He scuffed the tip of his shoes on the grass beneath the bench. "And no."
He smiled, a genuine smile just for her. All of his anger had been spent. "I guess I didn't kiss you because of Sasuke and because I really do think first kisses… Well all kisses, belong to the person you like."
She blinked in surprise and then she finally smiled too. "I never knew you had such a great smile Naruto," she whispered and then stood up to face him fully. She put out her closed hand to him and opened it to reveal the white flower he had noticed earlier. "I'm sorry for the things I said. It was... It just shouldn't have been said."
He rose from his seat and warily took the small flower from her palm. "It was how you felt." He furrowed his eyebrows. "I'm sorry things happened this way."
"Then let's forgive and learn from it, Naruto," Sakura proposed.
He kept his smile wide and shy, and then offered his hand as well, accepting their truce. "Friends?"
Sakura grasped his hand and shook it. "Rivals."
"What?" The heavy mood had been lifted, and he sighed thankfully.
"You heard me! I'm not giving up my love just because you have him."
"Sakura-chan..." He looked at her gleaming, confident eyes and small, shaking smile. She held herself high, like someone trying to hold the broken pieces of herself together. He understood. He was proud of her and her desire to fight for her love.
"Heh… Rivals and friends then," he compromised.
"The same goes for me." Naruto turned and saw Ino watching both of them, smiling confidently with tear streaks on her cheeks. He somehow knew she has been there long enough to witness everything.
"I'm not giving up my love either," she said.
Naruto chuckled softly. "Fine."
A comfortable silence stretched between them. They smiled at each other and Naruto realized that they never really stopped being friends. They had just gotten through their first major argument that would make their friendship stronger for not giving up on it.

After waving goodbye to both girls, Naruto sprinted up the stairs of his apartment building, too impatient to wait for the elevator. The girls had invited him for some dessert at the nearest cafe, but his mind had drifted back to the image of Sasuke waiting not so patiently on his bed. As pleasant as it would have been to hang out with his friends once more, Sasuke was waiting and he had promised to return.
He ran the length of the short hallway and skidded to a halt, braking on time before running into his apartment door. He twisted the door open and placed the small flower on top of the small table near the door. As he was kicking off his shoes he called out his arrival as he always did.
"I'm home!"
"Welcome back."
Naruto's breath caught as he felt his heartbeat reverberate outward throughout his entire body. It was out of habit that he had uttered those words. He hadn't expected there to be an answer; there never was. Something small, something he had rarely felt since his family had passed away, sparked inside him and began to unravel. It blossomed outward and he was afraid he would burst if he didn't do something quickly to satisfy it.
He was already grinning, and it turned into a full fledge smile when he saw Sasuke exit the living room to greet him, still shirtless. His body moved without a conscious thought as he propelled himself toward the other boy. He launched himself onto Sasuke, wrapping his arms around the boy's neck and winding his legs around the slim hips.
"Oof! Ack! Naruto you're not light at all you know!" Despite the complaint, Naruto heard a delighted surprise in the boy's tone.
"Well bear with it for now! Don't break my mood!" he exclaimed, tightening his grip.
Sasuke chuckled and obliged him, holding on firmly. The boy walked backwards until he could collapse on the soft couch with Naruto ending up on his lap.
Naruto smiled against Sasuke's shoulder, trying to suppress the pounding elation of his heart while Sasuke remained silent, giving him some time to collect himself. He sighed in contentment and finally sat up to face the other boy, pressing his cheek against the hand that drew up to caress it and kissing the cool palm with his still smiling lips.
"I take it everything went well?" Sasuke asked, fingers tracing the outline of Naruto's lips absently.
Naruto nodded excitedly. "We traded words. She apologized. I apologized for it happening that way. She declared us rivals and friends. Ino showed up and said she won't give up either. We're still friends. I like you welcoming me home."
Sasuke blinked at him once and then again.
As the other boy processed what he had heard, Naruto busied his lips by showering Sasuke's face with tender kisses while his fingers kneaded Sasuke's exposed nipples and chest.
Sasuke arched against his touch and held the blonde’s chin between thumb and index finger, stilling his movements. The tip of Sasuke's tongue traced the pink flesh of his lips, both bottom and top, eliciting a moan in response. Taking advantage of the parted lips, Sasuke slipped his tongue inside, encouraging Naruto's own to glide and twist against his.
"Mmmm.... So” Sasuke inquired, panting after releasing their joined lips. "They haven't given up, despite us being together?"
"Right."
"They're still going to flirt outrageously with me?"
"Yes."
"You like me welcoming you home?"
"Yes! Definitely yes!" Naruto attacked Sasuke's mouth with renewed vigor.
"I feel like celebrating," he moaned into the kiss.
Sasuke tightened his hold around him and ground his groin against his. "Well you did leave something unfinished."
Naruto rocked back, smirking deviously. "Why so I did." He placed his moist lips close to the other boy's ear, briefly slipping his tongue out to trace the soft shell of cartilage. Sasuke's hands snuck behind him to cup his ass and grind him to the erect cock beneath the pants he wore.
"I want to know how it feels," Sasuke breathed.
Worrying the soft earlobe between his lips, Naruto's hand moved downward between their hot bodies to unzip Sasuke's pants. He slipped a finger inside to tease the flesh just below the waistline. "How what feels?"
Sasuke shifted so Naruto's hand couold fully slip inside to wrap around his throbbing member.
"I want to know how… Ahhhhh! It feels to have you inside me..."
Naruto's head snapped back to meet Sasuke's gleaming eyes. The dark eyes glowed with naked desire. Naruto closed his mouth that had dropped in a surprised gawk and resisted the urge to clarify.
When next he spoke, his voice broke as he said a tentative “Okay.” Shivers raced up his spine while molten desire went straight to his hard cock.
"Bedroom?" Naruto asked.
Sasuke shook his head, handing Naruto the tube he hadn't noticed sat on top of the side table.
"Here is fine. I... I don't think I can... I want you now."
Naruto swallowed a lump in his throat to hear the raw need in Sasuke's voice. They had already fooled around earlier, he thought. They both knew what they wanted now. "We'll need these off," he said finally, tugging on Sasuke's pants.
He stood to remove his own pants as Sasuke divested himself of his. Their naked bodies glowed in the afternoon sunlight filtering through the window blinds, drawing horizontal lines on the sweat-slicked flesh.
Sasuke squeezed a fair amount of lube onto his hand and rubbed it between his palms before reaching for Naruto's erection, coating it thoroughly.
Naruto's knee buckled under the intense pleasure as Sasuke stroked his cock in quick, sure strokes. He hissed as Sasuke's thumb smeared his leaking seed over the crown of his cock, shuddering at the almost unbearable intensity.
He removed Sasuke's hand before he came without even entering him. He sat sideways on the couch with one leg curled, pressing against the back of the couch and the other bent, bare foot touching the floor. Sasuke laid one his side, one leg straddled by Naruto and the other slung over the blond boy’s shoulder.
Sasuke smirked up at Naruto. "I think this will work," he suggested huskily, voice consisting more of breath than actual words.
Naruto coated his fingers with lube and, becoming more confident of his actions, sought out Sasuke's opening.
"You've thought of this before?" Naruto inquired as he carefully slipped a lubed finger inside Sasuke.
Sasuke stiffened and then tried to relax his body as Naruto began to thrust his finger in and out slowly. He shook his head, seeming to be having difficulty in collecting his thoughts.
"No, I just thought of it right now actually. Another one, Naruto,” Sasuke gasped.
Naruto nodded and slipped the next finger inside the tight entrance, thrusting and stretching. He felt the muscles grip him and groaned as he imagined how it would feel to have such warmth surrounding him.
Sasuke’s breath came rapidly as he began to move against the small thrusts of Naruto's fingers, panting when Naruto curled them to brush against his prostrate.
"Naruto..."
Naruto nodded and pulled his fingers out. He shifted closer to Sasuke and curled his arm around Sasuke's leg resting on his shoulder, hugging the pale thigh to his chest. The other hand held his stiff cock as he pushed its tip against Sasuke's opening carefully.
He kissed Sasuke's knee tenderly as he plunged steadily deeper inside the boy's writhing body.
"Oooh God Naruto..." Sasuke clutched at the soft couch seat, gritting his teeth, biting his bottom lip. His back bowed a little, the boy curling into himself.
Naruto's muscles strained, fighting the compelling urge to ram his cock quickly in and out of the boy. Sweat coated his skin and breath became difficult to draw. He stayed still as he watched Sasuke for any sign of pain or discomfort once he was fully inside the boy.
"Sasuke are you alright?" His stomach flared as he took great deep breaths.
Sasuke's eyes were shut tight, his breathing short and rapid.
"I'm fine, Naruto. Just m… Move!"
"Okay."
Naruto pushed himself up a little and began to slowly thrust into Sasuke, his foot using the floor for leverage. His thrusts quickened in pace as Sasuke cried out encouraging sounds. He complied to ram harder when the boy asked.
One hand gripped Sasuke’s thigh to his chest while the other palmed the prominent arousal against the boy's quivering abdomen. He wrapped his fist around the swelled member and pumped in time to his thrusts, barely able to concentrate as pleasure wracked his body. He panted heavily as Sasuke's body gripped him every time he plunged deeper. The hot pressure built in his belly, threatening to explode as he drove on faster.
Naruto shifted in placed, when he next entered Sasuke, the boy cried out loud in pleasure.
Naruto smirked at Sasuke's wide, surprised eyes. He pulled out and pushed in several times more, stroking Sasuke's prostate. Sasuke writhed and words fell out of his lips incoherently.
"Nnnngh! Naruto! So close... More... More… Ahhhh! "
Sasuke's hot cum shot out, coating Naruto's fingers liberally. Some slapped against Sasuke's stomach and some splashed onto the couch's upholstery.
Sasuke shuddered with release beneath him. His body clamped tightly around Naruto, making him cry out. The raw emotion in the boy's heavy-lidded eyes directed at him was his undoing and Naruto gave into the pleasure and let it uncurl. His hot seed pulsed deep inside Sasuke as he gripped the boy's thigh and hip, groaning at the intensity of his climax.
He leaned his cheek against Sasuke's knee resting unsteadily on his shoulder and plopped onto the couch cushion unmoving.
"I think I almost passed out," Sasuke croaked.
"My vision's spotty." Naruto blinked tiredly. "Is that normal?"
Sasuke chuckled. "I'll answer you when my mind comes back."
They groaned as Naruto pulled out of Sasuke carefully. Naruto found a pair of discarded boxer shorts and he wiped both of them clean as much as he could.
Naruto collapsed on top of Sasuke and crawled upwards to reach the boys lips. He kissed the soft lips chastely and spoke against them.
"Sasuke..."
"Hmm..?"
"I think I am going to pass out."
"Bed?"
Naruto fell asleep before he could gather a thought, exhausted from the day's events.
