Lonely Faces (*aka. Roommates)


Chapter 22

Naruto, mouth slightly ajar, continued to stare at the redhead. After several long moments, Naruto finally chose to break the stunned silence.

“... H-how do you know about the Kyuubi?”

Gaara paused for a moment, the grin on his face spreading.

“So ... he has shown himself ... and yet you still don’t remember ...” he said, trailing off into thought.

Naruto suddenly became aware of the hands gripping his shoulders, as they were tightening their clutch.

“L-let go of me!” said Naruto, trying again unsuccessfully to get free.

Gaara let fourth a guttural laugh, throwing his head back in crazed mirth. Naruto felt fear stabbing at his stomach as the laugher became more maniacal and the grip tensed further.

The blond could feel something, a sensation as though something with less substance was moving through his head, fogging his brain.

Naruto sensed ‘It’ again, a low growl echoing in the cavern of his mind, and his dread increased tenfold.

‘He’s in your head, just like me.’ said a low, rasping voice in his skull.

‘No! Go away! I won’t let you take over again!’

‘I may not have a choice Kit. He poses a threat. Even if he’s on our side.’

‘I’m not on your side! GO AWAY!’

‘I can’t do that ...’

“NO!” Naruto cried.

He could feel the fiery pain spreading through his body, winding its way around his bones and setting them aflame. His mind clouded over, his instincts telling him what he should do.

‘KILL!’

‘NO, I won’t!’

Naruto desperately fought back against the elastic confines of the fog blocking higher thought. The pain was unbearable, like his skeleton was a million degrees hotter and the flesh around it was being seared. He knew he couldn’t let it win, couldn’t let it take over. But it was like trying to keep smoke in one place using only your hands. It seeped through the cracks of his defence, slipping in, gaining power over his thoughts, influencing his reason.

“NO!” he yelled again, feudally wrestling with the toxic manipulation.

There was no use, there was no hope, the pain and haze took him ...

“Naruto?!”

The voice reverberated in his ear, a familiar voice, a distant memory, long ago ...

“Naruto!”

The voice was more insistent, jogging his recollections. It was someone who used to be close to him ... someone he needed ... someone he loved ... What was his name?

The oppressive mass tightened around his brain, trying to strangle the thought.

What was his name ... Ki ... Kissa? No, that’s not it ... Ki ... Kiba? ... Kiba! His boyfriend, the only thing that mattered to him! He couldn’t let himself hurt Kiba again! He wouldn’t!

The single thought broke through the oppressive mist like a beam of light, parting the pain and primitive impulses. The stormy sky of his thoughts became clear as day in an instant, and the pain left his quivering body. The subjugation receded so quickly that the shock made him jump.

Once again he was staring at Gaara, but Gaara was looking past him and was no-longer holding his arms.

“Is everything ok, Naruto? I heard you yelling?” asked a voice behind him.

Naruto turned and his eyes met Kiba’s.

He thought he saw a flicker of fear in the brunet’s face, but blinked and it was gone.

“Yeah, everything’s fine. Just a difference of opinion.” said Gaara, patting Naruto on the shoulder and smiling, rather creepily, as he passed him.

Kiba’s gaze followed the read-head while he turned into the room where the rest of the assembly still socialized.

Kiba looked back to face Naruto and noticed that he was trembling.

“Naruto? Are you ok?” he asked, rushing forwards.

“I’m fine.” replied Naruto. “Just a little cold.”

Kiba removed his overcoat quickly and draped it over Naruto’s shoulders.

Naruto smiled softly and pecked Kiba on the cheek.

“Let’s go back to our room.” said Naruto. “The meeting’s over anyway.”

Kiba nodded and they headed up the hallway, a concerned look on his face; for a moment there, he thought he saw a ruby glint in those sapphire eyes.

-

Naruto lay on his bed and continued staring at a tessellated area of roof that had been the subject of his eyes’ attention for the past half hour. His mind however was still reeling at the sudden confrontation with Gaara.

How had Gaara known about the Kyuubi, and what did the Kyuubi mean by “He’s in your head ...”? More importantly, why had Gaara been acting as though they knew each other, as though they had worked together? The Kyuubi too said that he was on their side, but what side was that? What the Hell was going on?! He certainly didn’t consider himself on the Kyuubi’s side.

Kiba shot another worried glance at Naruto from his desk at which we worked; Naruto had barely said two words since they had gotten back from the meeting.

Deciding that his homework was less important than Naruto’s current mood, Kiba closed the lid on his laptop and got up from his chair.

Naruto felt Kiba’s weight shifting the mattress as he lay beside him. When Naruto maintained his gaze on the ceiling, the brunet wrapped his arms around the boy’s waist and pulled him closer.

“What’s the matter Naruto?” he asked concernedly.

Naruto started, as though noticing Kiba for the first time. “Oh, it’s nothing ...”

Kiba gave an unbelieving sigh.

“Really, it’s nothing.” he insisted, rolling on top of his boyfriend and kissing him lightly.

Naruto wanted to do something to put the brunet’s mind at ease, plus doing something purely physical would distract him from lingering any further on the never ending questions that kept popping in his head.

Kiba deepened their kiss hungrily; apparently his desire was stronger than his concern. It had been, after all, nearly five days without sex, a drought that had left both boys parched and in passionate need.

Naruto slipped his hand up Kiba’s shirt, letting it slide over the muscled plains of his boyfriend’s abdomen and chest, taking a nipple between his fingers as he kissed zealously. Kiba moaned into his mouth as his blond counterpart began to gyrate his hips, grinding their stiffening shafts against one-another through the jeans that covered their legs.

Kiba brought his fingers under the hem of Naruto’s shirt, removing the offending article while the Naruto did the same to him, gliding his hands over the sun-kissed flesh. Kiba’s breathing became more shallow and gruff as he watched Naruto slowly trail his lips down Kiba’s chest and stomach, biting and nipping in desire.

The blond began pulling at the belt on Kiba’s pants, unbuckling the catch and removing the denim apparel, throwing it to the floor.

Kiba was now only in his boxers, a rather large erection tenting the cotton fabric, dipping up and down to the rhythm of Kiba’s excited breathing. After letting his gaze loiter on Kiba’s body for a few more seconds, Naruto lowered his head to Kiba’s underwear, opening the flap and releasing his cock from its cloth confines.

The brunet’s penis throbbed with need as Naruto grabbed the base and gave it a deliberate stroke. Kiba groaned while clutching the sheets below him, it felt like so long to him that any contact was akin to an orgasm in-itself.

“You’re so hard.” said Naruto, his voice husky, pumping his cock once more.

“Ohhh ... So good!” was Kiba’s whimpered reply, drool adorning the side of his mouth.

Naruto applied his tongue to the head of the shaft, licking around the crown. Kiba all but cried out, clutching the sheets tighter in his hands. Naruto stared up into Kiba’s lust darkened eyes as he opened his mouth and descended on the weeping cock.

Kiba did cry out this time, bringing his hands to Naruto’s hair and pushing lightly, trying to get more of himself in the wet heat. Naruto smiled around his cock, descending all the way down and up again.

Kiba watched the mop of blond hair as it bobbed over his penis, involuntary moans escaping his lips. Naruto inhaled deeply through his nose and the mixture of scents, sweat and hormones being secreted by Kiba’s skin, made him all the more horny.

Naruto removed his mouth from his boyfriends cock and received a grunt of disapproval in return. He chuckled slyly as he removed his pants and undergarments, and crawled seductively up Kiba’s from.

When Naruto was face to face with Kiba, he gave a lustful growl and locked lips with the brunet once again. Kiba forced the boys face into his own with one hand, and trailed sensually down the boy’s body with the other. Once he reached the blond’s butt, he slipped a finger in-between the inviting cheeks and began toying with his hole.

“Mmnn! Kiba!” mewled Naruto, braking their kiss and wearing an expression of deep pleasure.

It was Kiba’s turn to chuckle, forcing his finger further still into the blond. Naruto groaned, placing his head at Kiba’s shoulder and biting to keep from being too loud.

Kiba’s fingers retracted from Naruto’s ass as he made to position himself over Kiba’s cock. The brunet’s head began penetrating Naruto’s hole and both let loose gasps of pleasure. Slowly but purposefully, Naruto’s ass descended on the Inuzuka’s dick, drawing moans and heated grunts from both teens.

Naruto began bouncing his ass on Kiba’s lap, throwing his head back in ecstasy as he started stroking his dick. Kiba grabbed the blond’s hips, helping him accelerate his movements up and down over his cock as he thrust forcefully upwards.

“Oh, Kiba! Faster!” howled Naruto, quickening his motions.

Kiba obliged as best he could, bucking his ass into and off the springy bed, plunging deeper into Naruto’s tight hole. Their shallow breathing became more erratic, their grunts and groans more intense and animalistic.

Naruto let out a guttural cry, arching his back as Kiba’s cock was speared into his ass, jerking himself harder and came excessively onto the brunet’s chest. Kiba came a few seconds later, driving his cock up, emptying his full load into the blond, his eyes closed tight as his orgasm ruptured through his shuddering form, sending every nerve ending into pure ecstasy.

Kiba let his ass fall back onto the mattress, Naruto collapsing onto Kiba’s seed-covered chest, both panting heavily.

“Wow!” Kiba managed to choke out in-between laboured breaths.

“Yeah!” agreed Naruto, his head resting languidly on Kiba’s shoulder.

The boys lay there and steadied their breathing, both relishing in the afterglow of their rapturous orgasms. Kiba wiped his mouth with the back of his hand to remove the dribble adorning the side of his lips. Naruto couldn’t believe how magnified his pleasure had been. One thing was sure; they were going to give this abstinence thing a shot more often.

Naruto stared blankly at his physics textbook, the complex formulas combining different forms of quantum and string-theories, which usually were not a problem, refused to make a comprehensible notion in his brain.

Despite their ‘physical activities’, Naruto still found himself unable to forget about his altercation with Gaara. The questions floating through his mind rebuffed any attempt to steer them towards his homework, resulting in total lack of desire to continue.

Naruto glanced at Kiba, who was at his own desk, typing out a long essay on the conjecture of inherent evil. He watched in slight amusement as the brunet scrutinised the screen, furrowing his eyebrows while rereading a line he had written. Growling in dissatisfaction, Kiba furiously tapped the backspace button on the keyboard, deleting the offending text.

Naruto’s mind relaxed and cleared of thought as he watched his roommate, all the uncertainties and worries disappeared and were instead replaced with pleasing considerations, such as; ‘He’s so cute when he’s frustrated.’ and ‘We should get an apartment together.’

Kiba sighed, rubbing his temples and looked over to Naruto. Naruto continued to stare fondly at him from across the room.

“What?” asked Kiba, feeling his face warm.

Naruto smiled tenderly. “Nothing. Just thinking about how much I love you.”

Kiba looked slightly confused. “Why are you thinking about that?”

“I don’t know. Whenever I’m around you I feel safe and that I can rely on you. I’m always happy when I’m with you. I couldn’t imagine my life without you ...” he replied, beaming at the brunet.

Kiba smiled lightly and extended his hand over to Naruto. Naruto got up and took his hand. Kiba pulled him into his lap and wrapped his arms around the blond’s waist from behind, placing his head at Naruto’s shoulder and kissing his boyfriend’s cheek.

“I feel the same way ...” said Kiba, rubbing his face affectionately against Naruto’s.

Naruto sat in his warm embrace, feeling any remaining worries about the Kyuubi disperse and his heart swell with the love he felt for Kiba until he felt it might burst. Naruto leaned back into Kiba’s reassuring chest and lost himself in the moment, his mind filled with only the thought of spending his life in Kiba’s company, and eternity after that.

A/N: Sorry it took so long, once more I wasn’t able to get in contact with my usual beta, so I apologies. Anyway, I did tell you that there was going to be something mind-blowing in this chapter, but I kinda ran out of space there at the end, so it’ll be in the next chapter. Hope you all enjoyed!

Comments are appreciated!
