Home, Sweet Home

Two shadows raced along the rooftops of Konoha. If anyone saw them, they thought nothing of it, as it was a village of ninja. But if they, by chance, noticed that the two shadows were holding hands, they were left to wonder just who those two could be.

It was, in fact, Sasuke and Naruto, racing to the blonde’s apartment after their meeting with Tsunade. After Sasuke had recovered from his mortification, they’d reported the mission status and practically ran from the tower. Sasuke was thoroughly intent on paying his lover back for the embarrassment he’d been put through, despite the amazing sex.

They were nearing Naruto’s apartment, where the blonde dobe needed to pick up a few overnight things to take back to Sasuke’s mansion. It kind of irked the Uchiha, knowing he could fuck the blonde nearly anytime he wanted, but the baka didn’t live with him. Of course, he’d never admit that it might have something to do with the fact that he’d never invited the blonde to live with him. He couldn’t; his Uchiha pride wouldn’t let him.

Yeah, he could bend over and be fucked senseless by Naruto, but his pride be damned when it felt so fucking good! No, breaking down and asking the blonde to move in with him was something he, as an Uchiha, just couldn’t do. But it brought up the question of why Naruto hadn’t asked to move in yet. Didn’t the dobe see how useless it was to have his own place when he was at the Uchiha’s nearly every waking, fucking, and sleeping moment?

The boys ducked into Naruto’s open bedroom window, and Sasuke sat on the bed while the blonde moved around his room, packing things in his overnight bag that would just end up staying in Sasuke’s room when it came time for Naruto to leave. Sasuke snorted to himself. If he waited long enough, everything the blonde owned would be in his house, and this whole ‘moving in’ thing wouldn’t be a problem.

“Hey lover, what will we be doing tonight, ne?”

I’ll be fucking you into the mattress. “Whatever you feel like, dobe. We haven’t been home in a while.”

A breathtaking smile graced Naruto’s face. “I’m so glad to hear that.”

“Hear what?” Sasuke was still in a daze from the smile.

“I’m glad to hear you call Konoha ‘home.’”

Sasuke scoffed, but a slight blush decorated his cheeks. It hadn’t been all that long ago that he’d vehemently stated that he had no home. And, truth be told, Konoha wasn’t home; it never could be again after the death of his family. No, right now, home was wherever Naruto was, be it here or in a back alley in Takigakure.

Speaking of Naruto, the blonde looked particularly good in the moonlight coming from the window. A sly smirk appeared on the Uchiha’s face as he silently climbed from the bed and stepped behind Naruto. When the blonde turned around, he only had a second to be surprised before Sasuke’s lips descended to claim those of his adorable dobe.

“Sas-”

Sasuke’s hands traveled up a well-chiseled body, around a smooth neck, and into silky blonde hair. He tilted his head a bit, running his tongue over Naruto’s lips, asking his baka to open them. Naruto parted them with a moan, and Sasuke’s tongue swept in to taste the love of his life.

He felt Naruto’s hands grasp his hips and pull him forward to grind against. Both released a hiss of breath at the pleasure the move created, and their mouths crashed back together with bruising intensity. Sasuke’s hands moved from Naruto’s hair, down his back, and to his ass, taking a cheek in each hand and pulling Naruto forward. Sasuke felt that they were both very hard, but he wouldn’t be able to get his revenge if he fucked Naruto like an animal right now.

Sasuke pulled himself away from Naruto’s hips and lips, much to the blonde’s disappointment. When Naruto opened his mouth to complain, Sasuke put a finger to his lover’s lips and quietly, but huskily said, “My house.”

Naruto’s eyes shifted from disappointment to desire in record speed. Sasuke smirked as he grabbed Naruto’s hand, and they leapt out the window, disappearing in the darkness. They couldn’t get to the Uchiha compound fast enough, and when they finally did, Sasuke barely had the front door shut before they both sprinted to his bedroom.

Bags, clothes, hitai-ate, everything was thrown to the floor as the two refused to release each other’s mouths. When the bed came up behind Naruto, Sasuke grabbed his dobe’s hips as they both fell, naked, upon it.

The force of the fall had the Uchiha sliding up the blonde’s body, eliciting a pleased gasp from both boys. Wordlessly, Sasuke started a slow grind that Naruto eagerly picked up, and they spent a very pleasurable few moments working up enough sweat to make the slip and slide easier. Delicious moans were coming from the blonde, and Sasuke smiled into Naruto’s neck.

Time to enact his revenge.

Sasuke had never thought some of the more… interesting jutsu he’d learned under Orochimaru – and, unfortunately, he did mean under – would ever come in handy. And at this point, he really couldn’t care where the technique came from. Keeping Naruto occupied so he wouldn’t notice the slow gathering of chakra proved one of the best moments of his life. His blonde certainly had grinding down to an art.

When the appropriate amount of chakra was gathered, Sasuke moved his hands lazily up Naruto’s sides from his hips, claiming the blonde’s lips in a distracting kiss. When they reached Naruto’s shoulders, he redirected them down his arms and grasped his wrists. Sasuke slowly brought the dobe’s hands up above his head and then let the chakra loose.

Naruto gasped into the Uchiha’s mouth as Sasuke directed the chakra to wrap around and fuse his wrists together. The purple chakra created cuffs that bound Naruto in a delicious position, and then Sasuke decided to fuse those chakra cuffs to his headboard. When he was done, he sat back to observe his handiwork.

“What the hell are you doing, teme?”

“I’m getting my revenge. You, of all people, should know how I operate.”

“Revenge? For what? I didn’t do anything to you!”

“Hn.”

“You know I can get out of this, right?”

“Just try it.”

Sasuke watched as Naruto gathered his own chakra in his arms and tried to pull his wrists apart and away from the headboard. His purple chakra cuffs flared, and Naruto suddenly arched off the bed, shouting in pleasure. Sasuke smirked when the blonde’s cock, which had softened somewhat at the discovery of the cuffs, suddenly sprang back to life, harder than it had been when they’d started.

“Hm, maybe I should have told you about that.”

“Wh-what?”

“These cuffs go away when I say they go away. If you try to use your chakra to dispel them, they’ll send little electrical impulses to your brain to affect nerves that I dictate. And guess which ones I picked?”

A devious smile graced his lips as he watched his lover actually trying to come up with an answer.

“I chose your pleasure receptors, dobe. So if you try to escape, you’ll only be thwarted by your own arousal.”

“You play dirty, Sasuke.”

“You have no idea.” With this, Sasuke ducked down and licked up Naruto’s straining flesh, watching as the unexpected move caused Naruto to jump in surprise and pleasure, inevitably making the blonde try to move his hands, sending those impulses to his brain, ending with a loud moan and the blonde’s dick bucking wildly into the air before Sasuke’s smirking face.

“Shall we continue?”

“Sas-Sasuke…”

Sasuke, though he really wanted to torment the blonde, didn’t think he’d be able to hold out much longer, what, with the way his lover was writhing and moaning on his plush bed and silk sheets that were just the right color red to bring out Naruto’s brilliant sunlight hair. Naruto had been the one to talk him into the damn sheets, proclaiming his dark blue and black color scheme too “old Sasuke.”

That was one thing he was absolutely awed at by the blonde; he’d never given up on the Uchiha and was the first to claim that Sasuke was different now than he was then. He’d never thanked the dobe for believing in him when he didn’t even believe in himself, but he knew that Naruto was aware of his gratitude.

He was brought out of his musings on his lover when Naruto cried out once more in pleasure.

“You pulled on your restraints, didn’t you, dobe?”

“Well, you sure as hell aren’t doing anything. I figure if I fight them long enough, the aftereffect alone will get me off.”

“So impatient, koi.”

Sasuke reached underneath the pillow Naruto’s head had claimed when they’d fallen to grab the tube of lubricant he knew was there. That was, unless Kakashi had stopped by while they’d been gone, found it, then found a reason to take it and use on Iruka.

Sasuke paused a moment and thought that, just to be on the safe side, he’d disinfect the house tomorrow. He then brought the lube out from its hiding place and flipped open the cap. He made a big show of pouring some into his other palm, closing the cap, and throwing the tube somewhere behind him.

He used his now free hand to push himself up to move his legs from between Naruto’s to straddling the blonde’s stomach, seating himself comfortably on toned abs. He could feel Naruto’s rock hard erection poking his lower back, pre-cum leaking over his pale skin. He shivered at the thought of that huge dick thrusting into him, making him scream, making him cum without even being touched…

Maybe later.

“Sasuke, please do something.”

“Alright, lover.” Another devious smile lighting his face, Sasuke brought his lube-filled hand to his own erection and began a leisurely pumping, not too fast or hard, but just right to build the tension slowly.

Up, down, up, down, squeeze at the base, flutter lightly at the tip. A fine sheen of sweat covered Sasuke’s body, and his breathing was becoming erratic. It didn’t help that Naruto’s blue eyes had a look to them that was part pain and part promise – a promise that at some point tonight, he was going to get his brains fucked out.

A thrill raced down his spine at that promise, causing him to forget his rhythm and run a finger over the tip of his cock with more pressure, his fingernail scraping over the slit. Sasuke threw his head back, an ‘ah’ of pleasure slipping from his throat, and his hips shot back. The sweat from his skin allowed Naruto’s swollen member to slip between his ass cheeks, and the blonde bucked into him with a cry.

Sasuke ground back against Naruto, his hand now flying over his cock, Naruto pistoning his hips up and down to find release. When Sasuke realized this, he moved forward, and Naruto cried out in frustration.

“Sasuke, you damn bastard!” His arms thrashed with the insult, jarring the chakra cuffs, and Naruto arched off the bed. “Ah, Sasuke, please, I’m so close!”

Quicker than most eyes could see, Sasuke had moved between Naruto’s legs and lifted them to his shoulders. He pressed his slick and needy cock to Naruto’s dry entrance and waited for the blonde to look him in the eye. Naruto gave a desperate nod of his head, and Sasuke entered swift and mercilessly.

Naruto cried out in pain, but it quickly died down to a moan as his arms were jolted, causing the cuffs to react. The pain had more than likely pushed Naruto’s release down a bit, and Sasuke smirked. Now for the real revenge.

The Uchiha removed the blonde’s legs from his shoulders to his hips, and then lowered himself until he was flush with his writhing lover. His hands moved to entangle themselves in blonde locks, and his mouth moved to capture pouty lips. His tongue delved in through open lips to taste his dobe, and he moaned when he was hit with the sweet and slight minty flavor of Naruto.

At this point, Naruto rolled his hips, reminding Sasuke where he was and just what he was not doing. He smiled, still kissing his blonde, and pulled out of Naruto at a leisurely pace until just the tip of him was inside, then just as slowly pushed back in.

Naruto must have realized that his punishment would be a slow session of love-making, because Sasuke found his waist surrounded by tan legs that didn’t force him to go faster so much as deeper. He angled his hips so Naruto’s legs could fit better, and when he pushed in once again, Naruto screamed as his cock came in contact with his sweet spot. Keeping his pace, Sasuke aimed for that spot over and over, giving as much pleasure to his lover as possible. And it certainly helped that Naruto kept trying to move his hands to touch him. From the blonde’s reaction each time, Sasuke was sure they’d use his cuff jutsu more than once.

The Uchiha, if one were to ask him how long ago they’d started their romp, wouldn’t know if it’d been a few minutes or an eternity, the pleasure was so great. The pressure slowly grew until neither could keep quiet for their lives. Naruto’s cock was being massaged between their two bodies, and Sasuke’s was being clenched tightly over and over by his very talented lover.

With twin screams of ecstasy, Sasuke and Naruto climaxed together, both going limp with exhaustion after the spasms ceased. Sasuke released the chakra cuffs, and Naruto’s hands immediately came down to settle on the Uchiha’s sweaty back. Sasuke snuggled into Naruto’s chest, his eyes heavy, and a contented smile on his face.

“Ah, shit, I think I left my toothbrush at home.”

Just like that, Sasuke’s good mood was shattered. He didn’t want to be reminded that though he and Naruto were lovers, there was still something that separated them. He didn’t want to be reminded that come morning, his dobe would leave and return to his apartment, leaving the Uchiha alone in his huge mansion.

“Stay,” he found himself whispering into a tan chest.

“Huh?” He didn’t look up, didn’t want to see those blue eyes that could see everything in his soul, could strip him of everything he was and leave behind something he’d never been very good at handling: uncertainty.

Sasuke’s hands buried under Naruto’s back, and he pressed his head even more into the blonde’s chest. “Stay,” he whispered again, only slightly louder.

“Of course I’m staying, teme. Heh, I think we’re far beyond the one night stand stage of this relationship.”

Sasuke shook his head frantically, face still pressed into a chiseled chest like a child. “That’s not what I mean.”

“Then what do you mean? And why are you whispering? What are you afraid of?”

Rejection. He took a deep breath and lifted his head to meet questioning blue eyes. “Move in with me.”

“What?”

“Be mine completely.”

“Tch. Teme…”

Sasuke quickly masked his hurt, but he knew that Naruto had seen it anyway.

“I already am yours. And you’re mine.”

“But… you won’t move in with me.”

He watched sadly as Naruto stared at him, each second that ticked by another hole in his heart. Sasuke’d finally realized why, ever since he and Naruto had started their lives together back in the hospital, he’d still felt as if Naruto wasn’t always there with him. It was because he wasn’t.

Yes, earlier, he’d been adamantly against ever admitting that he wanted the blonde to live with him, but in the face of Naruto actually leaving in the morning, maybe even tonight to get his toothbrush – no, Sasuke did not share – Sasuke was scared that the blonde might not come back. Abandonment issues, go figure.

“If you think about it, it’s as if I already live here. I sleep in your bed every night, I dress here every morning, and I train here with you when younger squads take the fields. So really, it all comes down to me going back to the apartment at the end of the day, which I guess is rather pointless since, as I previously stated, I’m here every night.”

Sasuke held his breath.

“So I guess it’s no great sacrifice to just bring all my stuff over here to cut back on my travel time and energy use.”

Sasuke slowly exhaled, his brow creasing in a scowl. So living with him was just going to be more convenient?

“Gotcha, teme.” Sasuke watched his lover smirk deviously at him, his blue eyes shining in amusement. He growled at his lover and began a very serious tickle war that had both boys sprawled sideways on the bed, panting and laughing when it was over, or rather, when both sides gave up. Sasuke sat up so the blood wouldn’t rush to his head, and he felt Naruto’s arms snake around his waste.

“Seriously, Sasuke,” a kiss was planted on his pale shoulder, “I would love to move in with you.”

A warm smile spread across his face, and he leaned back into Naruto’s chest. “I love you, Naruto.”

“I know, Sasuke. I love you, too. Now, let’s get me moved in so we can break in the bed. As of tonight, it is no longer yours; it’s ours now.”

Sasuke watched a grinning Naruto get up and walk to the bathroom and shook his head. He refrained from telling Naruto it was ‘their’ bed the second Naruto had bought those damn red sheets and pouted until Sasuke put them on the mattress. And it was with a happiness Sasuke had never felt before in his life that he stood from the bed and went to join his lover in the shower.

As long as they were together, that was all that really mattered.
