The Differences Between Lovers

Sasuke

Thanks to all my reviewers! Your words are love!

Naruto and Sasuke’s lives used to revolve around one another. But Sasuke had ruined that with a few choice words and punches. What had he been thinking when he left the village? Well, he was thinking that Itachi was still out there somewhere. The man who killed his family… what was he supposed to do, turn his back on everyone he ever loved? It wasn’t until after he came back to the village that he realized that by leaving he really had turned his back on everyone he ever loved. His family wouldn’t have wanted him to make himself miserable for revenge. They would have wanted him to move on and make a new life, to fill the void of family with friends and lovers.

But now he was emptier than ever. Sure he had Neji, but he didn’t really count - they were just roommates and fuck-buddies, they threw the word boyfriends out there so everyone would stop speculating. Besides, Neji had been fucking that lazy Nara for months. It was kinda cute how he still thought Sasuke didn’t know. Sasuke knew that bringing it up would make things awkward, so he didn’t say anything to Neji about it. In his opinion Neji could fuck whoever he wanted, because their relationship just didn’t fall into the “normal” category.

His and Neji’s relationship relied on neither of them asking too many questions. Sasuke didn’t ask about the Nara, and Neji didn’t ask why Sasuke wanted to be hurt. They both knew the answers, but neither was willing to discuss it.

As usual Sasuke was sitting on top of the roof across from the mission center, watching Naruto as he approached. As soon as he saw the orange silhouette in the distance, his heart gave a painful throb. Sasuke then realized that Naruto was not alone. That Aburame bug-freak was with him. Sasuke’s chest constricted when he saw Naruto give that weirdo a kiss on the cheek. He hated seeing Naruto with someone else. Sasuke gasped for air, the sudden tightness in his chest overwhelming him. He blinked tears back from his eyes and masked his chakra. When Naruto and his lover reached the door, Shino turned and looked right at him, raising his eyebrow in obvious question.

Sasuke made a handsign and teleported away to a quiet place in the forest where he could break-down privately. He fell to his knees on the grass and screamed as loud as he could. He screamed until his throat was raw. Then he burst into tears and as the tears rolled down his face, he hoarsely whispered the word “Why…?” over and over again. “Fuck!” He screeched as his sorrow turned to anger and began to attack the trees around him. He punched the rough bark of a particularly large tree until his knuckles were sliced so deeply and swollen so much that he could no longer make a fist. He sank to the ground, holding his head in his fucked-up hands as his breathing returned to normal. He slowly made his way back to Neji. Sasuke knew he was going to need a particularly rough session that night, and he knew Neji would give him what he wanted - that was the reason they were together, right?

When Sasuke returned home, Neji was laying on their bed reading. As soon as the Hyuuga saw Sasuke, he got that knowing look in his eyes. He made his way over to Sasuke and began examining his hands, “Let’s get these bandaged up before we begin, shall we?”

---
A few days later Sasuke was awoken by a messenger knocking at his window. He dragged himself out of bed, gently pulling off the sheets that were dried to his back with blood making the newest wounds begin to sluggishly drip blood down his butt and legs. Sasuke didn’t bother getting dressed before he walked to the window and took the summons from the masked ANBU. He could sense the apprehension coming from the stranger and smirked, “Would you like to come in? My boyfriend and I have plenty of room in our bed for you. Don’t forget to bring your kunai.” Sasuke let out a low chuckle and turned to head for his bathroom. When his back was exposed to the stranger, he heard a gasp. He chuckled again. After a quick shower and crude bandaging (he’d get Neji to do it properly later), he left for Hokage tower.

Upon walking into Tsunade’s office he spotted Naruto, and his heart began to pound heavily in his chest. He had to struggle to keep an indifferent look on his face, and somehow knew that he wasn’t quite pulling it off. Tsunade didn’t care however and began going into details about an A-Rank mission she was sending the two of them on. “Wait!” Sasuke interrupted, “You are sending me and him… alone?”
“Yes, it’s only a two man mission.”
“Okay… when do we leave?”
“Now.” Sasuke turned to leave, but Tsunade called him back. “I don’t want to interfere with your personal life, but refrain from activities that may affect your competency on missions.” She gave him a knowing look. “Dismissed.”

Sasuke was furious as he raced home. That ANBU that delivered the message had better be thankful that he didn’t recognize him, because if he ever found out who that bastard was, he was going to kill him. It was nobody’s business but his and Neji’s what they did on their own time. He grabbed one of the pre-packed bags he and Neji kept in the spare closet, scribbled a quick note to Neji and headed for the village gates where he and Naruto were supposed to meet. He arrived before Naruto, leaned against the wall and waited. As he waited, his mind filled with memories of his and Naruto’s past. The first time they had made love, their first argument, Naruto making ramen for them, the two of them sitting in the dark talking into the wee-hours of the morning. Sasuke forcefully brought his mind to new matters thinking of the punishment Neji would have to inflict upon him once he got home to take that time off of his mind. He would be bedridden for days, and for some reason he was more excited about Neji’s punishment than the fact that he was going on a mission with Naruto. His mind flickered to the note he had written to Neji. Why had he bothered? Neji would just assume he was on a mission if he didn’t go home. His brow furrowed unconsciously as he turned this new information over in his mind.

Naruto finally arrived, and with a nod from Sasuke they headed off for the Sand Village to deliver a message for the Kazekage. The two of them ran in stubborn silence until Sasuke sensed another chakra. He came to halt on a thick tree branch and Naruto stopped ahead of him, looking back at him with confused eyes.
“There is another chakra near us… make that two, no three. I don’t recognize any of them.” Naruto nodded and they continued sprinting through the trees. When the enemies were close enough, Sasuke signaled to Naruto to stop in the clearing ahead.

Sasuke and Naruto stood, backs facing each other, Sasuke a little to the left, as he knew that was Naruto’s weaker defensive side. Both of them read the other’s intentions, and as the enemy ninja jumped from the trees, Sasuke and Naruto were poised, ready to use the move they invented together so long ago. Two of the enemy ninja flew out of the trees, one heading for each of the leaf-nin. At the last moment, they both turned around and threw a handful of kunai at their partner’s attacker. The unusual move gave them just the element of surprise that they needed to hit their targets. Most ninja were skilled enough to dodge a kunai. Their move, however, threw the enemy off of their game, as the kunai came from an unexpected direction.

As they turned, their faces came within centimeters of each other. The tips of their noses grazed, and for one millisecond they were lovers again. The moment passed as quickly as it had come, and Sasuke threw himself into battle once more. One of his kunai had caught the enemy on his arm, but the wound didn’t seem to faze him. Sasuke jumped forward catching the attacker with a right hook, but this again didn’t slow him down. He upper cut Sasuke and sent him flying back into a tree. Sasuke hadn’t expected such skilled enemies. According to Tsunade, the information in the scrolls was important enough to qualify for an A rank mission, but just barely. Sasuke assumed it was some kind of secret medical jutsu, but had no proof.

Sasuke jumped back up and cast a handful of throwing stars in his enemy’s direction. While the other was busy dodging the attack, he activated his Sharingan. The other came running at him; at the last moment he triggered his chidori, and caught the enemy in the stomach. Sasuke’s arm went all the way through him , he pulled his hand back, and noted that the enemy looked as if he had been shot with a canon. At that moment, Sasuke heard Naruto scream. He turned around and saw that the third enemy had snuck out of the trees and stabbed the blonde in the back with a kunai. Sasuke watched as Naruto fell to the ground: the moment his body hit the grass, Sasuke lost control and ran at the two black-clad ninja. His chakra flared and he got his chidori going in both of his palms. He took the others down in much the same fashion as he had the first.
Sasuke ran to Naruto, grabbed the orange-clad idiot in his arms and carried him to a more secluded spot. Naruto was breathing and his pulse was steady. He removed Naruto’s shirt and examined the wound, pulling out his medi-pack and quickly dressing it . He observed that it was already healing, no doubt using the power of the nine-tailed fox. Naruto had passed out from blood-loss, so Sasuke moved him to a cave where he could rest. Sasuke gathered wood to build a small fire, never wandering far enough from the mouth of the cave to lose sight of it. As he gathered the fuel, he placed various traps and protective seals around the area.

After building the small fire, Sasuke lay back letting the fire burn at the mouth of the cave, and fell into a restless slumber. Naruto finally woke up, and turned to see Sasuke asleep on the cave floor near his feet. He felt a pain in his back, and reached behind to see that it was already bandaged. He smiled at the thought of his teme dressing his wounds just like old times. He watched Sasuke sleep just as he had so many times in the past.

When Sasuke awoke, the first thing that came to his mind was Naruto. He turned to see blue eyes and smiled when he saw that Naruto was okay.
“Do you have any wounds that you need help dressing?” Naruto asked. Sasuke thought of the bandages on his back that should be changed, but he couldn’t show those to Naruto, it would spur too many questions. So he just shook his head. “Sasuke, there is blood leaking through the back of your shirt, are you sure you don’t need help?” Sasuke blushed, looking away, and handed Naruto his medical kit.
“Okay.” Sasuke slowly pulled his shirt off in trepidation and Naruto removed the old dressings.
“Sasuke… what the fuck is this?”
Sasuke blushed again and trained his eyes on the ground. “Nothing. Are you gonna dress my wounds or sit there like a loser and stare at them?”

Naruto stifled all the questions that were bubbling up in his throat and examined Sasuke’s wounds in silence. There were long jagged cuts on his back, and by the look of it whatever it was that caused them had been going on for a while because there were some pink and healed, some scabbed and healing, a few of them were still open and bleeding. Naruto felt sick to his stomach as his fingers roamed the ravaged skin. He was appalled when he put pressure on a particularly deep cut and Sasuke moaned in an distinctly sexual way.

Naruto looked at Sasuke with eyes as wide as saucers. Finally he snapped out of his shock and focused on Sasuke. “Sasuke…I…” He never got to finish that sentence however, because Sasuke was suddenly kissing him, and he was kissing back. Their tongues snaked out to writhe together in sensual rhythm. Sasuke and Naruto’s hands were both roaming the other. Clothes were torn and scattered, and soon Naruto was on his back, with Sasuke on top of him, grinding their hardened flesh together. Naruto tried to deny how good it felt… how right, but he couldn’t fool himself; deep moans were making their way to his lips. Finally he couldn’t hold back anymore, once the first moan fell from his lips, they spilled like a fountain filling the air with embarrassingly needy sounds. Naruto’s mind was battling his body, his mind was telling him how much it would hurt Shino if he knew about this, but his body was more focused on how good Sasuke felt, rubbing against him.

Sasuke broke their kiss and pressed his fingers to Naruto’s lips; he opened them and began to wet Sasuke’s digits. When Sasuke felt they were wet enough, he removed them from Naruto’s hot mouth. He placed the first to Naruto’s entrance and slipped it in, the saliva providing a decent amount of lubrication. Naruto’s inner monologue continued as his anal wall was breached. But his body had won out and he tried to focus on Sasuke’s callused fingers. Sasuke felt Naruto beginning to loosen and added his second finger, finding Naruto’s prostate. The uke cried out, encouraging Sasuke to continue to rub that spot until he was completely relaxed. Finally Sasuke placed his cock at the fox’s entrance and pushed into him. Naruto chanted Sasuke’s name with every thrust, as he was filled so deliciously. Sasuke knew exactly where Naruto’s prostate was and he made it his target, continuing to hit it until the Uzumaki was writhing beneath him. Sasuke needed something more, he reached for a kunai and handed it to Naruto. “Cut me.”
“No.” Sasuke slammed back into his uke.
“Do it!”
“I can’t hurt you!”
“NOW!”

Naruto broke and plunged the blade into the skin of the other’s chest and began to drag it down, leaving a deep wound in its wake. Sasuke made a deep purring moan in his chest. However disgusted Naruto was with himself, he was turned on by this new power he had over Sasuke. He made another long cut next to the first, and smiled as Sasuke screamed. No wonder Neji liked this. Sasuke’s blood was pouring freely from the wounds. Naruto noticed that he was losing a lot of blood, so he pushed Sasuke to the side so that he was lying on his back. Sasuke cried out and thrust his hips up when his ruined back met the cold, rocky floor of the cave.

He looked up at Naruto as the other rode his cock. Sasuke had never seen a sexier sight than the blonde impaling himself , covered in blood. “God, you are fucking sexy… beautiful.” Naruto arched his back, turning his face up and moaning. Sasuke knew he was provoking him, but he took the bait and snapped his hips up. Naruto squeaked as his prostate was hit directly. He put his hands on Sasuke’s chest, pushing down on the fresh wounds. Sauke’s orgasm was quickly approaching; he began to drive his hips upward, seeking his own pleasure. He reached down and began to tug Naruto’s hard erection. Naruto gave the wounds on his chest a hard push and Sasuke was thrown over the edge, filling Naruto. Naruto came, the feeling of Sauke’s hot seed coating his insides. Boneless, he collapsed on top of Sasuke.

“Come on, we need to wash up.” They pulled on their clothes trying as best they could to prevent them becoming soiled further with their own bodily fluids, and Sasuke led Naruto to a river, deactivating the traps and seals as they went. When he reached the bank Sasuke pulled his shirt off, Naruto was struck with guilt. He had cut him when he already had so many injuries. His stomach rolled as he saw the wounds again. He removed his clothes, pulled Sasuke into the cold water with him and slowly and gently as possible washed his wounds. The blood, sweat and cum mixed with the water and was pulled away with the current.

They delivered their message with no more interruptions. They ran in silence, both thinking over what they had done. Naruto was berating himself. How could he have done something so low? For the first time in his life, he felt like he didn’t deserve to be Hokage. He resolved to never tell Shino about his slip-up.

Sasuke was deep in thought about what the sex had meant. Did Naruto want him back? If he did, what would he do? Neji came to his mind. Would Neji rejoice in the new freedom, would the white-eyed man miss him? He knew that he would miss Neji. Their relationship may have started out of convenience, but Neji was a huge part of his life now. Naruto’s face held the disgust that he hadn’t been able to express verbally. Secretly Sasuke was ashamed of himself for his repulsive needs.

When they were just outside the village gates, Naruto stopped Sasuke and gave him a grave look. He took the raven’s hands in his and said, “Sasuke, I love you.”
“I love you, too.”
“But… I don’t love you the way I used to. We aren’t the same people, and I can never forget that day at the Final Valley. What you did killed me inside. Shino is the only one who can make me feel again, and we are getting married. I’m so sorry….””
Sasuke felt his heart stop. That he was not expecting. “Okay… I have to go…”
Naruto opened his mouth to reply but Sasuke was already gone.

Sasuke was running across rooftops, looking for his escape. He needed Neji, now! He finally found the white-eyed man, at lunch with his former teammates. He walked into the restaurant and tapped Neji on the shoulder. Neji turned and saw the wild look in Sasuke’s eyes. He sighed and bade farewell to his comrades, leaving money for his meal.

Neji followed Sasuke home, where he re-opened all the wounds Naruto had bandaged. Sasuke lied to Neji about Naruto’s cuts, blaming them on the enemy ninja they had fought. Neji accepted this immediately. Sasuke suspected that he wouldn’t really care either way, but he found himself unusually eager to please the Hyuuga.

Somewhere across town…

Shino was looking into dark eyes as he lay with his secret lover. The two of them were basking in their post-orgasm bliss. Suddenly Shino was up and throwing on clothes.
“What are you doing?” Kiba asked.
“Naruto is back in town, and he’s upset. I have to go. I will see you. I’ll call you.”

And he was gone, leaving Kiba feeling empty.
