Don't Come After Me

Sorry for taking so long to update.

I'd like to thank lexjamandme and madamdragon for being my only two reviewers! Thank you for your kind words. Here is the update you have been waiting for!

Sasuke is kinda OOC in the chapter.


=========================================

Sasuke bolted up right when he realized that there was something very, very wrong here. The bed was made. He had been gone for over a week. The Dobe never made the bed. He always left it for Sasuke.

Another thing that was off was that there weren’t clothes scattered around the room. Naruto wouldn’t clean up for their anniversary, maybe someone else’s but not theirs. A third thing he noticed was that he hadn’t felt anymore pangs.

“Naruto where are you?” Sasuke asked out loud. He got up to look around the rest of the house. He froze when he heard a groan coming from somewhere near by, possibly in the next room.

Without a second thought he got up and walked into the hallway. The door to his left was a closet. The door to his right was Naruto’s bedroom before they had started dating. That’s where the sound had come from.

The stoic Uchiha wasn’t going to lie, he was terrified of what he would, or wouldn’t, find on the other side of that door.

As he was reaching for the doorknob, Sasuke saw that his hand was shaking almost violently. Now that he thought about it, his whole body was shaking. He took a very deep breath and felt another pang in his chest. This one was so much worse than any of the others. It felt like his heart was breaking. “Naruto.”

His knees gave out and he slumped against the door. “Naruto, what’s happening?” Sasuke asked out loud as he slid to the floor.

He had one pale hand clutching his chest above his heart and the other was clawing at the door. He wanted something, anything that would make the pain stop. He wanted Naruto to open the door and tell him that everything was fine.

This time the pain didn’t fully recede. It left a dull throbbing that he thought might have been worse than before. He couldn’t even get his legs to hold his weight, it was so unbearable.

There was no way he could take it anymore. He knew whatever was going on was behind this door and the only way to find out would be to get it over with. He took another deep breath and opened the door.

“Wake up Teme!” A loud voice yelled as a finger poked him in the ribs. “Go away Dobe.” Sasuke said as he turned away from the annoyance and pulled his covers tighter around himself. Naruto was relentless.

“Sasuke don’t you know what today is?”

“It’s Tuesday. Now leave me alone.” The Uchiha emphasized his point by throwing a pillow at the blond. Naruto hit him in the face with said pillow. “Baka today is your birthday.”

Sasuke cracked an eye open. “So what are you doing here then?” “I came to celebrate with you!” Naruto said as he hit him with the pillow again. Fed up with getting hit by a pillow, the stoic man grabbed his own pillow and mercilessly beat the younger man with it.

After ten minutes of pillows and feathers flying everywhere, Naruto surrendered. Sasuke bopped him on the head one last time and a few more feathers flew out. “Look what you’ve done Dobe. You’ve ruined all my pillows.”

“Teme you started it!” Naruto immaturely stuck out his tongue.

“Did not.”

“Did to.”

“I did not!”

“You did to.”

Sasuke pulled his blanket over his head and tried to block out the blond. He was repeatedly poked in the head.

“Dobe! Knock it off. It’s my birthday and I want to go back to sleep.” He shook his head trying to avoid the finger that was still poking him. Then it stopped. The blanket was pulled up and Naruto crawled under it. “Fair enough. But I’m staying here with you.”

Sasuke rolled his eyes. “Whatever, just shut up.” He pulled the blanket off their heads and laid back down. Naruto curled up next to him so that they were practically spooning, not that either of them cared.

Neither of them thought they’d be able to fall asleep, least of all Sasuke. He was out in less than five minutes and only for about five minutes when he got elbowed in the ribs.

“Dobe, sit still.” He mumbled, holding him tighter. ‘Wait a minute.’ “Shit!”

“Naruto! Why didn’t you wake me up when I put my arm around you?” He shouted and pushed the blond away from him. He fell off the bed, the blanket going with him and revealed Sasuke’s almost complete nakedness. ‘Shit!’ That wasn’t the only problem.

The angry Uchiha looked down when he realized there was a tightness in his boxers that should not have been there.

“I didn’t mind the arm around me Teme. I minded having a hard-on pressed against my ass.” Naruto said as Sasuke quickly covered himself with a deflated pillow.

“Well… get out so I can get dressed.” Sasuke said while pointing to the door. The Dobe scrambled to his feet and quickly left the room, closing the door behind him. The raven smacked himself in the face with the pillow.

Fifteen minutes later Naruto and Sasuke were walking down the road toward Ichiraku’s, much to the latter’s annoyance.

“Why did I agree to this again? I barely even like ramen!” The annoyed raven asked, interrupting the blond’s non-stop chattering. “Because Teme, I’m paying.” Sasuke rolled his eyes. He shoved his hands in his pockets but didn’t argue. “Whatever, just don’t do anything stupid.”

“Of course not Teme. Who do you think I am?” Naruto asked feeling exasperated. The young Uchiha smirked and chuckled but didn’t answer. ‘Dobe.’

A few of there friends were waiting there with gifts. Sakura and Ino were among them. Both of them were still trying to win Sasuke’s affection but they weren’t as adamant as they were in their younger years. They no longer fought about it either, at least not as much.

“Dobe, I thought I said not to do anything stupid.” Sasuke said as he pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration.

“So what, your friends are stupid?” The blond asked and flailed his arms. “Yes, they are.” The Uchiha so bluntly stated just out of their earshot. Naruto pouted but continued walking.

Sasuke reluctantly followed. He’d never admit it out loud, or at least not in front of anyone but Naruto, he’d follow that adorable pout anywhere. Now if only he could get Naruto to feel the same way about him.

The brooding boy plopped down on a stool and promptly ignored everyone.

“Teme! People are trying to wish you a happy birthday!”

Said bastard turned to glare at the loud mouth then the others. “So? As I recall, I didn’t want to come at all.” Sasuke said and then turned away again.

Naruto rubbed the back of his head. “Sorry guys. It looks like Sasuke’s got too big a stick up his ass to even enjoy his own birthday properly.”

‘If I have my way Naruto, you’ll be the one with something up his ass soon.’ Was Sasuke’s internal reaction to the idiot’s statement.

Ino put her hands on the raven’s shoulders and massaged then gently. “I could loosen you up a bit Sasuke-kun!” She purred in his ear, just loud enough for a certain pinked-hair girl to hear.

“Ino-pig! Sasuke doesn’t want you…” Said pinkette shouted angrily. ‘Sakura’s not as dumb as she looks.’ “He wants me!” ‘I spoke too soon.’

The Uchiha was fed up with hearing them argue over him. “What makes you think I want either of you?!” He shouted as he got to his feet. He continued before either could respond.

“You – he gestured to Ino – are the biggest gossip and the most annoying person I’ve ever met!” Sakura gave her a smug look.

“And you – he looked at the pinkette – aren’t nearly as annoying as you used to be but I still don’t want you either. Neither of you are my type. You never have been and you never will be!” He finished with a huff.

Both of them stood there in shock.

Sakura was the first to recover. “Then, what is your type Sasuke?” He was grateful that she finally seemed to have dropped the Kun honorific.

He smirked as he gave his answer. “My type has… a flat stomach, a flat chest, and… a dick.” He added in his head, ‘And spiky, blond hair and the deepest blue eyes anyone’s ever seen.’ Only a few of the people present seemed to be surprised by this information.

Sasuke walked away from the group.

A few seconds later, Naruto caught up with him with the few presents Sasuke received. “Aren’t you going to open these?” “Maybe later.” He glumly replied.

They walked to the Uchiha compound in silence from there.

Naruto dropped the small pile of gifts on an end table in the hallway and followed Sasuke to his bedroom.

“Are you ok Sasuke?” He asked from the doorway. The raven-haired boy knew he was being serious from the lack of the word ‘teme’. He was glad Naruto wasn’t being an idiot at the moment but decided to avoid the question anyways.

“So, what did you get for me Dobe?”

The blond started fidgeting and rubbing the back of his head. “Well… I… uh. I mean…that is to say… I… didn’t get you anything.” A smirk and the raising of a perfect dark brow was the only response he got.

“I’m sorry Teme. I didn’t know what to get you! I was hoping that I’d figure something out while we were eating but then the whole thing about you and being gay. Then you walked off.” Naruto rambled.

“Naruto, its ok. You don’t have to get me anything.” Sasuke said with a chuckle. He sighed in relief.

“But there is something I want. If you agree to it of course.” There was a glint in those dark eyes, along with his smirk, that made Naruto think the wrong thing.

“Teme, I’m not sleeping with you!”

Sasuke smacked him on the back of the head. “That’s not what I meant baka! I wasn’t finished either.” Naruto rubbed his abused head.

“Well maybe you should have said that first.” He mumbled. “What did you mean then?”

“I was going to ask if you’d like to move in here with me. It’s a big house and I thought you would like it if you weren’t by yourself anymore.” Sasuke explained.

“Oh.”

“So, what do you say?”

“Well… I don’t know.” Naruto wanted more than anything to scream ‘yes’ from the top of his lungs. But he didn’t want to seem too eager. Of course he thought he just wanted to be closer to his friend. His subconscious had other motives though.

“I can make so that Sakura doesn’t show up every morning to give you your medicine. You still have to take it of course.” The Uchiha added as an incentive. He knew that would get the blond to say yes.

“Really Sasuke? Will you let me sleep as late as I want?” Naruto asked, wide-eyed.

“Really. You can sleep in as late as noon. We don’t want you progressing backwards.” Sasuke said with a serious tone.

A second later he was pulled into a bone crushing hug and had a blond head sobbing on his shoulder. “Thank you so much Sasuke.”

----

The sight that met his eyes made his blood run cold. Had he not already been on his knees, they would have collapsed under him. In fact, he fell forward and barely caught himself before his face met the floor.

The Uchiha’s arms were barely holding him up, he was finding it difficult to breathe, and he could hear his heart pounding in his ears. His eyes had to have been playing tricks on him. There was no was he was seeing what he was seeing but he couldn’t look away.

===============================================

Yeah I know the likely hood of two teenage boys having a pillow fight is very unlikely but Naruto's immature so it fits and Sasuke likes Naruto so yeah... I went there.

Chapter five will be up soon. Its already half way done and has been for a while. There will only be six chapters to this and then a one-shot sequel.
