Chapter 5 – Winter Hot chocolate


“So? How did it go last night?”

Attendance has been taken and the students were told to gather in their respective groups to work on the term project. The screech of the desk’s metal legs against the floor were accompanied by shuffling papers and quiet discussions. Sakura questioned a drowsy Naruto as they made their way to Sasuke's desk.

“It was alright, we got some stuff done” he yawned.

“You guys didn't fight did you?” she paused in her bee-line toward the dark-haired youth, concerned. “I know how you guys can’t stand each other. You know I would have stayed if I could.” She said, frowning.

Naruto flushed and felt his aching jaw. There were no bruises but it still ached. When he got home last night, he had assessed his injuries. He flushed even harder when he recalled that the most distinct bruising was found on his hips. Where Sasuke had--

“Naruto, are you okay?” Sakura’s voice broke through the sudden cloud that had blanketed his mind.

“Huh?”

“Where were you?” her pink eyebrows furrowed in confusion as she tugged him forward as they walked on.


’Under Sasuke’, his mind provided mischievously. “Ummm nowhere” he laughed, embarrassed.

“Hmmmmm?” Sakura looked unconvinced, but she let it drop when they reached Sasuke's desk.

“Good morning Sasuke-kun!!.” she gushed.

They received a nod from the class president and any further discussion that followed only concerned the project. They shared notes, assigned each other's responsibilities and plans for the presentation. Amidst the discussion, Naruto noted the distance he felt in Sasuke’s demeanor. Not toward himself, he would never be concerned with something so petty, but the distance the dark-haired boy expressed toward the student body in general. He seemed so aloof, out of reach.

“Oh!!” Sakura spoke during a short lull in their discussions. “After school why don't we go for some ice cream!! Nee, Sasuke-kun? Just hang out a little...” she offered, a twinkling hope in her eyes. “We should go over to my work place...I’m sure we would get a discount!”

Sasuke shrugged, always seeming unconcerned. “Sure” he said, as it hadn’t mattered to him either way.

Sakura drew in an excited breath.

“Really?!”

She sounded excited, as if daring to hope. At his affirmative nod, her eyes sparkled at. Naruto suspected her mind was already churning with all sort of ideas and was slowly filling with girly glee. Even though he would be there as well, he was sure she had already forgotten that minor detail. Her expressions where clearly drawn on her face.

Naruto briefly wondered why Uchiha never showed even a slight interest toward his friend. She painted a picture of naiveté and a shy kindness, when she wasn’t being influenced by outside forces. She was only vindictive when faced with the other girls, but wasn’t that what competition influenced? She was beautiful to say the least. Even he himself could easily fall for her.

Under the table, Naruto was startled as his foot was nudged softly. He suspected it to be Sakura, but noticed the girl was still chattering about the ice cream parlor. He furrowed his eyebrows, a little baffled. A second later, he felt another kick and was positive it wasn't Sakura when she had stretched both legs on the aisle. He glanced at Sasuke, but the boy looked to be ignoring the world in general. Naruto shrugged and went back to copying notes from the textbook.

“So Sasuke-kun? What's your favorite flavor?” Sakura asked.

“Uzumaki” Sasuke replied in what seemed was genuine seriousness.

“Eh?? Uzumaki flavor?” she tilted her head, mystified.

Naruto sputtered, red coloring his cheeks.

“Uzumaki” Sasuke continued. “What's your favorite flavor?”

Naruto glared at the boy and refused to acknowledge the innuendo even if his earlier sputtering had done the acknowledging already. A smirk tugged on the other boy’s lips.

“Hmm? Naruto you like chocolate don't you?” Sakura helped, ignorant to the heated glare he directed toward Sasuke. ‘Good, she didn’t suspect anything’, he thought. She was a smart girl, but around Uchiha, she was always struck stupid.

“Yeah, chocolate’s good.” he ignored Uchiha's growing smirk. He didn't want to know what he was thinking in that sick mind of his right now.


*

“Hey, Naruto!!! Hurry up and change already!!!” he heard Shikamaru call from withing somewhere in the locker room.

“I'll be right out!” Naruto shouted back.

He changed later than the guys morning. He usually bore some kind of bruise or other abrasion on his body that could simply be explained and dismissed. However, this time Sasuke left some rather interesting marks on his chest that would be difficult to explain and was sure would not immediately be dismissed. His hips were hidden under his sweats, but he was still careful. He had a sudden urge to leave marks on the pale boy's body just to be vindictive. He would like to see how the class president would deal with a few marks on his neck.

A sudden thought nudged itself into his mind. He realized that Sasuke was hardly seen with a particular girl. They were all careful not to be too close. Then was there any particular guy that hung around Sasuke all the time? he wondered. If they saw questionable marks on Sasuke, who would be the first one they would suspect?

He gulped. ‘Heh, lately I’ve been around him a lot.’ he cringed at the startling discovery.

His thoughts were interrupted as a warm hand touched his bare chest, palm pressed onto his skin, fingers splayed. The person of his meandering thoughts stood in front of him, shirtless. The hand moved from one mark to the other. Five dark ones and three lighter in shade. He looked at the other boy’s unmarked chiseled chest. A pendant hung from a long silver chain. They stood in silence as Sasuke caressed his abused skin and Naruto tracked the pendants every subtle shift as Sasuke moved. Having noticed his gaze, Sasuke held the object of the boy’s attention and hid it in his fist, hidden from sight.

“Do they notice?” Naruto quietly asked.

“Who? Notice what?” Sasuke asked, murmuring as his fingers traced the bumps of Naruto’s abs, then moved lower to play with the waistline of the grey gym pants.

“Anyone that's seen you shirtless” Naruto answered, “that you wear the chain I've worn all my life”

Sasuke frowned, then turned away to walk to his locker. He grabbed a shirt and put it on quickly.

“No.” Sasuke answered softly, but loud enough for Naruto to hear. With no further comment, Sasuke left the room. Naruto stared after him. He missed the familiar weight of the pendant when it hung around his neck and felt naked without it. Naruto drew a small spiral over his chest, the same design etched on the coin sized pendant.

*

“Man!!! It's freezing!!!” Naruto howled as an angry gust of wind whipped and chilled his uncovered head.

“I know…” Sakura looked sideways at Naruto as they walked across the school yard. She wrapped her arms around her, pulling her coat closer.

“Damn early snowfalls” she complained as her teeth chattered noisily. “If I knew it was going to be this cold, I wouldn't have worn my knee socks.”

After a moment of thought, she continued. “Actually, I shouldn’t have worn the damn skirt in the first place.”
“What? Are you finally going to wear that standard uniform pants?” Naruto quipped beside her.


As if remembering the pant’s style, she frowned in distaste. “Eww, never mind I’d rather freeze my legs off first before I put that hideous thing on.”

Naruto saw her observe a few girls ahead of them braving the cold like herself, clad in the school kilt. “Yeah, no way in hell I’d let Sasuke-kun see me in those horrid pants.

He hid a smile having thought that the sensible part of her mind that would have called her an idiot froze a long time ago. Keeping the observation to himself, lest he got hurt for his humor, he only smiled knowingly.


Another wicked gust of wind pushed at them. He shivered, mimicking Sakura’s actions earlier and pulled his coat closer to himself. “Damn... I hate the cold” Naruto whispered.

Beside him Sakura blinked as several snowflakes landed on her eyelashes. She looked over at him as they trudged through the snow covered school yard. As if tempted, her had stopped mid-motion, hovering over his head. She had probably wanted to brush away the white snow collecting on his blond hair. Her hand drew into a fist, before retreating as if caught when she found his eyes on her hand. Shaking his head wildly, he dislodged the loose flakes, brushing his hair back to get rid of the rest.

“It’s that time again…Isn’t it? Because of the snow, your family--”

“Naa, Sakura-chan”, he spoke up over the howl of the wind suddenly.

Sakura stopped what she was about to say, much to Naruto’s relief, and inquired what he wanted instead.

“We're almost done with the project, right?” he asked.

Paying attention quickly, probably because he hardly spoke of school matters and she was always excited when he did. Especially when it involved the project they shared with her crush.

“Hmm, we do enough when we meet. It has been nearly every night after all. And I can’t go out with the girls as much anymore…” she pouted briefly before continuing with her observations. “I think we do more when we’re over at Sasuke-kun’s place.”

As if catching a sudden thought, she turned to him with a conspiring expression on her face. “Hey, do you remember that night when we stayed for dinner? It was a little uncomfortable wasn’t it?” Looking up to the grey skies, she frown as if recalling which night she spoke of. In a quiet voice she continued, “Sasuke-kun’s parents were…well they weren’t unkind. They were nice to us. But don’t you think they were a little cold to Sasuke? It was like he wasn’t there.” She snorted. “They were kinder to the furniture compared to the way they had treated him.”

Naruto wasn’t compelled to comment. He had seen it too. The cold gazes, the clipped and level tonned replies between Uchiha and his parents. It was all very daunting.

“Sakura chan?” He asked, reminding her of his previous question before she went off topic.

“Oh!” she grinned sheepishly. “Sorry. Umm yes we’re almost finished, why do you ask?”

“Heh” he grinned, hiding the frown that threatened to appear instead. “I forgot now. I was just wondering how long I had to put up with Uchiha I guess” he shrugged.

“Oh! That reminds me-- WAH!!”she stopped suddenly slipping on a patch of ice. Moving swiftly, Naruto caught her around the waist, pulling her against him. Clutching on his coat, she smiled thankfully at him.

Letting go, she tugged her clothes into place.

“Have you heard from Sasuke-kun?” she asked randomly. He raised an eyebrow toward her and actually made her blush.

“Right. You’re the last person I should ask when it concerns Sasuke-kun. Anyways, have you noticed that he hasn't been in class for three days now?”

“Sakura,” he waggled his eyebrows at her, grinning. “Aren’t you a member of the Uchiha Sasuke fan club, member number 25? Shouldn't you know these things?”

‘Sure I've noticed’ he thought, ‘I haven't had a fight these last three days.’

“Yeah.” She grinned sheepishly then turned serious. “I don’t know what’s gotten into me lately.”

“Yeah, you’ve been spacing out a lot” he snickered.

“Shut up!”

He effectively dodged what would have been a painful swipe at the head.

“I’m only concerned. He hadn’t shown up in three days and the project is almost over. I don’t know if he had finished his part—“

“Is that all?” her friend asked.

“Well no. I wonder if his alright. Ino said he was present before class began talking to sensei, but he wasn't there during class or lunch today and also the other days. I guess I’m just worried” she contemplated out loud.

“I’m sure he’s finished his part of the project and don’t worry he’s a big boy, he can take care of himself” reassured.

As he turned away from observing how pink her cheeks were turning from the cold, he saw the older library he would be spending his period in.

“Okay, Sakura-chan. I have a spare for third and fourth. I'll probably see you after school. But don’t wait up for me, if I’m not there in five minutes after the bell. I might just go home early.” Naruto grinned impishly.

“What!? How the hell did you get two periods off?!” she squawked, indignant at his luck.

His grin grew wider transforming into a pleased smile. “The teachers had field trips for their other classes. We were assigned work and told to find a place to stay”.

Sakura pouted. “Lucccky. I wish my teachers went on a field trip.” she sighed then waved as Naruto walked backwards waving at her. Facing forward, he ran to the building. He grinned as he thought how it was just like her, if he turned back it would confirm it, to frown at him running on slippery ground. He hoped she got inside soon; the wind was starting to pick up.



*


Naruto leaned back on the edge of his desk, feet braced against the floor. His notes were scattered on the large desk’s surface. Work sheets had piled up after working the last two nights. Deciding that the spare periods given to him were ample opportunity to catch up, he got to work immediately.

After a while however, his motivation began to diminish and boredom began to invade his numbed senses.

“I guess I could just go home” he conversed casually with the empty library.

“But it's too quiet there....” he murmured after a moment of consideration. He snorted when he realized he was alone in the old library as well and the only sound he had heard so far was the flipping of pages from the book he had read and the haunting moan of the early winter wind outside the window.

“But there's a difference....” Naruto murmured. He put down the book, squeezed the bridge of his nose in frustration and sighed. ‘Yeah, a world of difference’, he thought almost miserably. The three buildings that surrounded the one he occupied at the moment were filled with people.

“Well my apartment’s also surrounded by a lot of people....” He argued with himself.

’I guess there was really no difference then’ he thought.

Beyond the glass windows, he saw the snowflakes dance with the wind. An enchanting dance that was so blithe. For a moment he wished he was a snowflake.

’The meaning of my existence would be to form into an elaborate and unique shape, fall down from the grey skies, dance with the winds and pile on top of the rest of the snowflakes to be stepped on or plowed. Or maybe I might help cap a street sign white. Or perhaps join the more vindictive of snowflakes and merge with them to become a mean well aimed snowball’ he thought, chuckling.

His eyelids lowered, suddenly pensive.

“Or simply flutter down from the sky, tango with the wind, then melt on someone’s happy tongue”.

Naruto laughed out loud at his absurdity.

’Maybe I should just go home’ he wondered again, shaking his head.

In the distance, he heard footsteps ascending the spiral staircase, but wasn't sure where they were headed since the carpeted flooring muffled each step. He tried to watch out for anyone approaching, but the sparse yellow lights in his wing provided little to no illumination. Most of the light came from the window, but even that was no help. Only dim grey light streamed through the foggy glass. He checked the ancient clock nailed above a book shelf. He'd only been there for twenty minutes. He wondered who would be out of class in the middle of a period.

He picked up his book once more, deciding to ignore the new presence, but dropped it when a figured appeared at the corner of his eyes. The sound of the book hitting the floor echoed throughout the wing. He gaped in surprise, remaining silent.

“Uzumaki…”

Naruto watched as the pale boy strode slowly toward him. He furrowed his eyebrows when he noticed the boy wore no coat, so the shoulder of the white uniform was wet with melting snow. Water droplets fell from wet chunks of dark strands.

“Uchiha. What are you—” the boy stood in front of him as unsteady hands reached for his bare arms. Naruto only wore the short sleeved shirt today causing him to flinch as freezing fingers wrapped around his forearms.

“Shit!! You're freezing!!!” he exclaimed but didn't pull away.

“Shut up dobe…” Sasuke’s voice shook, perhaps, from the cold. Naruto peered into dark dull eyes. The boy’s face looked strained, trouble.

Freezing lips descended on his neck as a greeting, Naruto supposed. He shivered at the contact.

“God…you're freezing...” he moved away but was pulled roughly forward.

“Don't!Don't resist me...” Sasuke’s eyes glowed with something angry for a moment before he lowered his head to lay languid licks and kisses on Naruto’s jaw and neck.

“So warm...” Sasuke whispered, voice seeming far away. Naruto's eyes grew wide as the boy burrowed himself against his body, head tucked under his chin.

He gulped and looked down at the still shivering body.

“Idiot. Where's your coat? It's freezing out there” he remained still, breath catching when Sasuke’s arms grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him closer. ‘What was going on here?’ He laughed inwardly, unsure. He never knew what to expect from Uchiha.

Cautiously he rested his hands over the boy’s shivering shoulders.

“Uzumaki... I...” A shudder went through the slim frame.

Closing his eyes and bracing himself, Naruto wrapped his arms around the boy's shoulders tentatively. The wet cloth soaked into his shirt. He drew the body close against him, between his legs and reached to brushed off the melting snow on top of Sasuke’s head. The snow fell on the carpet and began to melt. Silence reigned for long minutes as he held the boy in his warm arms. After a while, the shivering subsided, but neither moved. Naruto rested his cheeks on the boy's damp head. When he opened his half lidded eyes fully, he barely recognized the fingers that ran through the dark damp hair as his.

“What's wrong, Uchiha?” his question was but a whisper, compared to his loud, rapidly beating heart.

'”Where have you been?” the dark haired boy asked after a moment of silence.

“I would ask you the same thing, if I cared” He said the words, but it sounded hollow to his ears somehow. It lacked conviction, perhaps it lacked truth. He wasn’t sure nowadays, he just let the wind carry him. ’I guess it’s no different from being a snowflake’ he thought. Naruto continued to run his fingers through the boy's hair, his actions contradicting his words. He stared ahead, into distant space.

“I was on the roof, pretending I was a snowflake, I wondered if I jumped off the edge, if I would flutter down”. Sasuke wondered softly.

Naruto stilled, not knowing what to say. So he remained silent and continued to stroke the dark hair instead.

Nimble fingers began to unbutton his shirt. When the fabric was parted, soft kisses adorned his bare chest.

“Why don't you tell me to go away?” Sasuke whispered against his skin.

Taken aback, Naruto considered the question and then snorted in half amusement. “You wouldn't listen to me, even if I did”. Then in a softer voice he said “Besides it's not the worst scenario one could be in. There are worst things.”

“Most people would say I was forcing you against your will.” The husky voice whispered with bitter humor.

Naruto thought of all the situations he'd found himself in pertaining to the dark haired boy. He agreed, most people would probably say that. ‘However…’

He tilted his head to allow Sasuke access to his neck, as a hand caressed his inner thigh.

However, if he never really wanted...

He sighed as the hot tongue caressed the vein in his neck causing a ripple of electricity to spread throughout his body. Naruto closed his eyes and immersed himself in the feeling.

If he never really wanted it, he would have stopped it. He wouldn't stand for such a treatment.

He stopped running his fingers through Sasuke's hair, burying them into the soft locks. Shifting, Naruto brought his other hand up to run it along the boy's moving jaw.

No, he wouldn't stand idly by and allow anyone to use his body. He would fight it.

“Why don't you tell me to go away?'' Sasuke's question from earlier rang through his mind.

’Because....’

He opened his eyes and held Sasuke's head still, meeting the shadowed gaze. Dark eyes bathed in lust watched him silently. He watched—fascinated-- as his thumb caressed the side of the swollen lips and slowly, he brought his head closer to the parted mouth. Close enough to touch.

He whispered, their warm breaths mingling. “I wouldn't call this against my will.”

Naruto saw Sasuke’s eyes widen in surprise as he swiped his tongue over the boy’s bottom lip. Sasuke tilted his head to the side, as if asking silently. Naruto obliged and licked the pale neck, his tongue wetting the skin. He felt and heard Sasuke’s breath catch as he sucked and licked in a deliberate slow pace.

Naruto smirked when Sasuke allowed himself to be pushed back as they sought the solidness of the library wall.

Naruto brought his body against Sasuke's, a familiar situation, but also quite different. He teased the vein on Sasuke's neck as he ran a hand down to the other boy's awakening erection. His other hand buried into the dark hair. He stroked the growing bulge, invoking a moan from the boy.

He smiled against the pale skin when he felt a thrill at hearing Sasuke moan. He boldly unzipped Sasuke's pants, reached beneath the boxer and curled his fingers around Sasuke’s hard cock. He ran his thumb over the moist tip as Sasuke grunted and pressed himself harder into Naruto’s grip.

“Uzumaki…What are doing?” Uchiha asked breathless.

Naruto laughed lowly against Sasuke's neck and then brought his head up to look the other boy in the eye. Sasuke's eyelids almost close, his eyes glazed beneath eyelashes as Naruto stroked faster. Naruto was surprised at how the other boy’s moans and gasps were affecting his own arousal.

“Is this how you feel when you're jerking me off in the middle of the hallway?” he asked, concealing an almost grin.

Naruto spied a small smirk on the pale face. “You taste like snow...” he murmured.

Sasuke gasped, as Naruto stroked faster.

“Suck me off, dobe”

“You want me to?” Naruto wet his lips as he saw a glimmer in Sasuke’s dark eyes. He watched the hurt gaze disappear and a more recognizable and confident gleam sliced through.

“Yeah” Sasuke murmured in anticipation.

Before he had a chance to think about it, Naruto kissed Sasuke’s snow scented skin, pressing his lips harder against the neck.

“Alright” Naruto whispered.

He slowly kissed down Sasuke’s body, kissing both skin and cloth. When his knees touched the floor, he lowered Sasuke's pants and boxers down his thighs freeing the swollen erection.

Naruto felt Sasuke’s intent gaze on him as pale fingers buried themselves into his equally pale hair.

Excitement thrummed in his body as he held Sasuke’s cock in his hands. He gave a tentative lick at the pre-cum gathering around the crown, tonguing the tiny slit. Growing bolder as he felt Sasuke shudder, he lapped on the underside as his hand pumped from the base. He allowed the desire to pleasure Sasuke drown out the mild nervousness that vibrated in his stomach before he took what he can of Sasuke’s cock into his mouth. He concentrated on the feeling of the cock and his breathing instead of the urge to gag. Slowly he swallowed a little more, his nose burrowing into the soft black curls at the base. He breathed Sasuke’s scent in, feeling his own erection throb at the musky masculine scent.

“Ahhhhh!!! Fuck! So good…Uzumaki” Sasuke encouraged.

Naruto held Sasuke's hips steady as it fought to thrust into his warm mouth. He sucked harder, wanting to hear Sasuke moan and feel his body shudder in pleasure.

”Gods...Dobe...nnnnn”

Naruto caressed Sasuke's balls, massaging lightly, thinking of what he would like if he was in Sasuke’s place. His other hand stroked along the hard length and coaxed more moans from the usually silent boy.

He looked up at the dark eyes as he sucked and stroked the throbbing flesh thoroughly.

Sasuke wet his suddenly dry lips, staring down at him in lust-filled fascination. As if watching his length disappear into Naruto’s warm mouth.

“Uzumaki…” Sasuke rasped before he came into Naruto’s mouth. Sasuke clutched at his hair as his voice screamed hoarsely.

Naruto shut his lids tightly and winced as the other boy’s fingers pulled at his hair. He felt the body tensed as hot cum hit his throat. Mildly startled, he swallowed the hot liquid and at Sasuke’s scream of pleasure, he swallowed more greedily. A feeling of almost pleasure buzzed along his veins as he looked up at Sasuke, knowing he had caused Sasuke’s momentary lack of control. He caught Sasuke’s body as the boy’s knees gave out and guided the exhausted boy to sit on the floor.

They stared at one another as Sasuke caught his breath. Naruto felt the boy’s gaze on him as he wiped the side of his mouth with a shirt sleeve.

Sasuke tucked himself in slowly and pulled his pants up, zipping it close.

Naruto shifted as Sasuke eyed the obvious bulge in his pants.

“You're hard.” Sasuke said softly, as if astonished.

Their gazes met.

“Yeah.” Naruto agreed. “You're an unbelievable sight when you come.” he said evenly.

“Am I?” Sasuke asked, looking amused and perhaps amazed.

“Yeah,” The blonde boy grinned.

“Let me see you.” Sasuke asked suddenly.

“What? Haven't you seen me come enough times?” Naruto fidgeted, suddenly nervous at the unfamiliar soft command, almost a request.

Sasuke got up on his knees eye level to Naruto’s kneeling position.

“No not enough” the dark-haired boy whispered as he reached for Naruto’s pants. Sliding the zipper open and reaching in. Naruto felt Sasuke’s long fingers wrap around him, he grit his teeth.

Naruto moaned as Sasuke stroked him teasingly a few times, then pushed forward as Sasuke’s fist began to stroke quickly and almost painfully. His desire and excitement grew at the almost possessive touch. A fleeting thought asked how it felt possessive, but a drawn out stroked rendered the voices to mindless groans.

“Look at me Uzumaki” Sasuke’s commanding voice asked.

Gasping at the overwhelming pressure and fighting from hunching and losing balance, Naruto growled. “Kinda...hard” he said, incapable of saying anything else.

“Hey, Naruto…!!! Are you in here?!”

Their heads snapped up at the sing-song voice.

“Naruto !!! Wanna go out for some hot chocolate?! We have a break too!!”

The blonde groaned out in disappointment, coupled with a groan of pleasure as Sasuke continued to stroke him, unmindful of their unexpected company.

“Sakura ..” he gasped “ahh!..and Ino.” Naruto identified the voices.

Uncaring, Sasuke pulled Naruto to his feet then pushed him against the wall.

“What are you doing?!” Naruto hissed . “They're coming!”

Sasuke stroked him harder mischief shining in his eyes. “Yeah...let's see who comes first”

Naruto's eyes widened at the implication.

“Think about it…” Sasuke whispered. “Their crush is jerking off their friend. They'll come up here soon. They know this is where you usually are” Sasuke’s voice made the hairs on his neck stand on end. He shivered.

Naruto felt himself getting closed to release, perhaps Sasuke knew too as his stroked became faster. His body tensed. Sasuke’s other hand ran up and down Naruto's side. He felt the fingers stroke his flushed skin beneath his shirt.

“When they find you, provided they don't walk in on this” Sasuke smirked. “You're going to speak to them. With the mouth that just gave me a very good blow job. You're going to have hot chocolate with the taste of me in your mouth” he hissed.

Naruto smirked, body taut, as he felt his oncoming orgasm. “A very good blow job?” he said taunting with a quivering and hoarse voice.

“Yeah...” Sasuke drew closer and licked Naruto’s bottom lip sensuously. His lips hovered over Naruto’s briefly, before moving down his neck and nipped at the soft skin.

Naruto's eyes widened, then closed tightly as his body was wracked with pleasure. He bit his bottom lip to keep from screaming as he shot his hot load into Sasuke's waiting hand. He breathed deeply and desperately as he reached a hand out to grasp Sasuke 's shoulder for support. Hazily, he watched as Sasuke brought a pale wet hand to his lips and ran a pink tongue over the palm, fingers licking them clean. Naruto’s throat felt dry as he swallowed deeply.

“Gods..you're sick...” he shuddered, fascinated as each digit was sucked clean.

Sasuke smirked as he tucked Naruto’s softening member into his pants and buttoned the disheveled shirt close.

“I'll see you later” The pale boy said, then paused before continuing in a softer tone.

“I...today...” He faltered and pressed a kiss to Naruto's neck. “You always smell like sunshine, you...you were always warm” Was the cryptic remark which was followed by a more lingering kiss on Naruto’s neck. He ran his hands over Naruto’s clothed covered chest one last time then moved away, leaving.

Naruto watched Sasuke disappear into the dark aisles surrounded with shelves of books. He unsteadily made his way to the desk, flopping down on the chair, exhausted. Admittedly, he told himself, it was a good type of exhaustion. He laid his arms on top of the desk, cradling his head and stifled a sigh of contentment forming from his lips.

“Mou…Naruto there you are!!” An exasperated voice huffed.

He brought his head up to watch his friend approach the desk.

“Gods, I always get lost in this place”

“Sakura!! D'you find him?” Ino walked in from the history section, fingers running along the book spines. “Oh! There you are!!! You could have yelled out you know? Save us the trouble from trying to find you in this rat maze?”

Naruto quenched the urge to laugh and allowed her to continue. He didn’t think yelling out in the midst of an orgasm was quite appropriate.

“So wanna come with?” There was that word again, he thought, laughing inward.

“Where?” He asked, feigning cluelessness.

“Hot chocolate!!” Sakura squealed, beaming from across the table. “I heard Sasuke-kun will be there with the other council members!!” She practically bounced. In fact, Naruto eyed his friend, she was vibrating in barely contained excitement.

“Yup! Apparently, he hasn't been around much because he's been planning with the council concerning the overnight trips. And I think because he stayed home for the other days…” Ino interjected.

Naruto recalled the visits to Sasuke’s house, a not so pleasant experience.

“We heard some of the council members talking ‘bout the cafe!! They said they're meeting up with Sasuke-kun in a couple of minutes!!!”

Sakura nodded excitedly. “Aaaaaand?” She prompted Ino on.

Obligingly, Ino announced. “And! No one knows about it but us!!”

“Wait, wait” Naruto waved his hand as if clearing away invisible floating words in the air. His head was still a little muddy after the encounter with Sasuke.

“So why are you inviting me?” he asked, standing up and began gathering his things.

“Isn't it obvious?” Ino said as if he should know such a simple thing. “You're prop!”

“Prop” he echoed dryly, asking for her to elaborate, but he kind of got the idea.

“Yeah” Ino explained. “We can't look like stalkers—“

“--heavens no!” Sakura placed a hand over her chest as if insulted.

“—so…We need you to look like we're just a group of friends going for hot chocolate.” Ino beamed.

“Ahh” He nodded in understanding. “Sure, I’ll come.” he shrugged, agreeing after a moment of consideration. “I am thirsty…”

The girls looked shocked at his willingness to play along.

“But! You're buying mine.” he smirked slyly.

“Damn.” Sakura frowned. “I should have known there was a catch. “Fine fine…I’ll treat you.”


*


The trio braved the cold and trudged through the snowy streets to the cafe. Muttered curses floated with their visible breaths on the freezing air as they tried to avoid slipping on the hidden patches of ice.

They sighed as a wave of heat hit them upon entering the warm and welcoming cafe. The girls quickly spotted Sasuke with their sharp obsessive eyes only infatuated girls possessed. He was sitting among the group of the school council members sipping a hot beverage. The usual bored expression graced his handsome face.

Naruto squawked as he was dragged forcibly to a table by Ino, while Sakura walked up to the counter to get their drinks.

'”I suppose this is strategic seating?” he asked, amused at Ino's flustered state.

“Yes,” she agreed, finger-combing her long blond hair having been mussed by the winter wind.

Naruto found himself sitting faced directly with Sasuke from across the room. Ino sat on his right and an empty seat on his left was for Sakura.

“Why don't you want to sit on my seat?” he asked, only mildly curious.

”Because!!” Ino answered, exasperated. She waved her hand about as if emphasizing the importance of her point. “We couldn’t have him seeing us drink or eat! What if we looked horrible!”

Naruto doubted Sasuke would even care but what did he know? He said nothing and only nodded, because it seemed the situation called for simply nodding. Thinking too much into their logic would only cause him aching headaches he had no desire of getting.

“And Sakura and I would fight over the chair” she finished, voice filled with resignation.

Spoken from experience it sounded like. Naruto grinned.

“Ahh, I see” he nodded once more. “And so you can sneak peaks innocently and not look like you're staring” he concluded, not really understanding their silliness but willing to play along.

“Precisely.” Sakura said, catching the end of the conversation.

She handed out their drinks and they sat immersed in small talk. Naruto watched as both girls snuck quick looks at a seemingly oblivious Sasuke. He watched how they seemed to have a planned and choreographed system. He found it unnerving.

To distract himself from thoughts of the oddness of girls, he brought his cup up to take a sip of his hot chocolate. Within a span of a few seconds--as the hot liquid hit his throat, as Sakura and Ino looked down into their cups, while the council members looked anywhere else but Sasuke--his eyes met the other boy’s dark ones, an amused smirked flickered on the pale face. His eyes widened in shock as Sasuke made a fist with his hand and mimed pumping the air up and down.

“You're going to have hot chocolate with the taste of me in your mouth…” Naruto coughed violently as he chocked on the scalding liquid, hearing Sasuke’s voice in his head.

“Naruto!! Are you alright? You're turning red!!”

The table was suddenly a flurry of activity. Sakura handed him a napkin as Ino thumped his back uselessly. ‘Not helping!!’ he thought, wincing as Ino slapped his back once more.

“He’s red ‘cuz he's chocking, ya ditz!” Ino chastised.

“I'll get a cup of water!'' As if struck by genius, Sakura ran to the counter.

Amid the chatter of the cafe and the loud hiss of the espresso machine, Naruto heard Sasuke's clear laugh ringing throughout the establishment. Presumably from a joke someone told, but his eyes caught Naruto's murderous glare and smirked knowingly.
